Notes

[NI0006] Aline has a delightful personality and a very positive attitude. She has always attracted people everywhere. Her curiosity about life and her interest in everything and her guilelessness have always charmed others.
She has always had an interest in Archeology, which she reports began when King Tutankamen's tomb was opened in her childhood. In her later years, she has visited many of the sites she read about over the years, and has exuded enthusiasm about everything she has seen.
Aline's highest ambition, according to her, was to be a mother. She was a wonderful mother, devoting all of her time to her children. When spending time with her children, there was never a sense that there was anything else she wanted to do. She has never attempted to interfere in her adult children's lives, in fact, she has always been a cheering section for them. As a result, she has been loved by her son-in-laws almost as much as by her children.
Aline has maintained throughout her life a child-like quality that is infectious. As a result, she was also a terrific grandmother - not the "cookies and milk" kind of grandmother, but a grandmother who provided a place where her adolescent grandchildren chose to "hang out" even with their friends.
She is now winning the affection of her great grandchildren.
One of her most common sayings has been, "Everything happens for the best." Whether it does or not, Aline Reagan Chalfant has attempted to make the best out of whatever happens.

[NI0016] John Reagan spanned the years between the frontier and the age of technology. As a small boy, he sat on the lap of his grandfather, Senator John Henninger Reagan of Civil War fame, and he sat on the lap of the Comanche chief (his third cousin) Quanah Parker.
He ran away from home at 14 to get away from home and to become a cowboy in Oklahoma Territory. He subsequently rode with the Texas Rangers and sustained a rifle ball in his leg, which he carried to his death.
A family anecdote claims that his mother awakened at the time of the shooting and told her husband, "John's been shot." Her fears were not confirmed for weeks.
He studied structural engineering in Dallas, TX, and was a contractor in Oklahoma territory just before statehood was granted. He was the first in Oklahoma territory to have a car.
At the time of his marriage in 1913, he owned seven Harley Davidson motorcycles; however, his wife asked him to sell them for fear he would be injured.
He was an athlete as a young man; he played baseball and he boxed. He maintained an interest in sports all of his life. In fact, he was an avid sportsman: he loved hunting and fishing.
As a young man, he was an excellent dancer, winning several cakewalk contests.
He was also an excellent horseman. He was president of the Fort Worth Horseman's Club and rode for many years in Fort Worth parades.
He loved all animals, and had a gift for training them.
He was active in many organizations and lodges. He was a 32nd degree Mason, and served as Grand Master of his lodge. He also served as President of the Small Loan Company Association for the State of Texas.
He maintained an active interest in politics throughout his life, and was consulted by those seeking election. He preferred to remain in the background rather than seeking office himself.
He was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather.
He loved to hear his wife play the piano, and tears welled in his eyes when she played Annie Laurie, Memories, and Alexander's Ragtime Band.
He was attractive to women, but men also sought him out. In the later years of his life, his office was often occupied by men who sat and listened to his anecdotes - some true and some teasing. He was a great tease, and he was often successful at drawing people in to his pranks.

[NI0017] Aline Pope began her life as the youngest of nine (seven living) children. At five, she begged to be allowed to go with her two older siblings, Sadie and Charlie, to the Masonic Home. She lived and went to school in the Home through the weekdays, and returned to her mother on the weekend. That experience had a great impact on her life. The friends she made there were friends for a lifetime, and she felt an obligation to support subsequent generations of students. The education she received served her well, but the lessons of life were the most significant according to her.
She became an Eastern Star herself, serving in many offices over the year, and she supported her husband's activities in The Masons.
She was a talented pianist, winning a scholarship to a conservatory as a young person. Her talent brought family members together over the years to stand around the piano and sing old songs.
She married at 17 and went to Galveston immediately with her husband, as he was building what was to be "The Broadway Addition." They left Galveston after the 1915 flood in which she watched her piano float away.
She was outgoing and charming, and very social. She had a most infectious giggle.
She belonged to a number of organizations, civic, fraternal, and social, over the years, and she held office in them all.
She maintained an active membership in her Church for most of her life, and she held a sincere an active faith.
She acquired the skill at handwork that her era demanded, and she excelled. She was also an excellent cook.
She loved her mother, and had her in her home for much of the last years of her life. She was also very close to her sisters and brothers and their families.
She was devoted to her daughter and her grandchildren, and had large responsibility for raising her oldest grandchild, a responsibility she discharged with love.

Met John E. Reagan while visiting former roommate Mollie during Christmas Holidays, 1878. At that time, she was considered one of the most beautiful girls in East Texas. She was 17, fair, with golden blonde hair, and large violet blue eyes, soft of voice and gentle of manner.
An excerpt from article about her marriage:
There were a large number of relatives present, from Crockett, Palestine and Houston. The marriage ceremony was very impressive. The bride is the daughter of Mr. S.C. Haile of Crockett and a great favorite in society circles there. She was dressed in elegant heliotrope satin with court train, lace flowers; with apple blossoms and diamond ornaments. She wore an exquisitely beautiful tulle veil draped with apple blossims, and held in her hands a magnificent bridal boquet. Miss Haile is a beautiful blonde, with grace and beauty enough to make her admired and loved by all who meet her. The groom, the happy victim of her charms, is the son of the Hon. J.H. Reagan of Palestine, and a young lawyer of marked ability. He was dressed in the usual conventional black.....

[NI0031] Kind and gentle with a wry sense of humor. Devoted husband and father.

[NI0032] Pearl Martin Cunningham was very active in the Garden Club of Fort Worth. She also belonged to several other organizations, and was very social. She had many lifelong friends.
She was a collector: she maintained a rock garden in her backyard, which John Cunningham had created for her. He embedded each new rock in concrete, and she labeled the person giving her the rock and the location from which it had been received.
She also collected salt and pepper shakers, and she had received them from all over the world. She had a small collection, too, of demitasse cups and demitasse spoons from all over the world.
She was very capable at handwork, especially crochet.
She had some talent as an artist, and she was an accomplished pianist, teaching piano before she was married and in the early days of her marriage.
Her tombstone shows her name to be Pearl Fredonia Cunningham.

[NI0146] "We find Thomas first in Henrico Co.,Va., in 1679 when he makes a gift
of a child to Henry Talley. We next find a deed from MARTIN ELAM to
Thomas Cheatham, 300 acres being part of a patent, dated Oct. 21, 1690,
beginning at the head of Hatcher's land on Proctor's Creek, adjoining
Robert Hancock and Francis Carter land. Purchased for 2000 pounds of
tobacco."
In a deposition dated Feb. 10, 1680/81, Thomas Cheatham is stated
to be 34 years old. On Dec. 1, 1694 he deposes that he is 50 years
old. Thomas Cheatham's will, dated May 2, 1720, was probated in
Henrico Co. August 1, 1726. (Henrico Records Book 1725-37, p. 36).
This part of Henrico Co., Va., is now Chesterfield County, which
was formed in 1748.
In York Co., Va., 1670, we find the following: Margaret, wife of
Thomas Cheatham of York Co., Va., died April 6, 1670. It is not
known if these two are connected or not.

Per Dr. Joseph W. Evans:
"He (Thomas CHEATHAM) had a fine library for the times and was probably well educated and religious."
"His home was near the James River on Proctor's Creek in what is now Chesterfield County, VA."

[NI0150] Resided in Royal Parish, Amelia Co, VA but returned to Chesterfield Co around 1749. In 1760 they moved to Mecklenburg Co., VA

[NI0159] "John Henninger Reagan was an Indian fighter, surveyor, lawyer, Congressman, Judge, and member of Jefferson Davis' Cabinet during the Southern Confederacy. He served as U.S. Senator after the Civil War and was the first Railroad Commissioner of Texas. He not only contributed actively to the colonization and expansion of Texas during a half century of its most vigorous growth, but in later years wrote voluminously of his life and times, leaving valued historical data to succeeding generations.

His home, near Palestine, called Fort Houston, was a picturesque and treasured link with the era of old-fashioned but cultured and gracious living which many pioneer Texans were able to enjoy in their declining years, after decades of more rigorous existence during the state's colonial days.

John Reagan, at the time of his death, owned the largest private library in the south, and he became the first president of the Texas State Historical Society. This library and his personal belongings were kept intact in the old home, which was marked by the State as a shrine and museum, until his daughter had the home razed in the 1930's.

John H. Reagan was born in Sevier Co., TN and died at his Palestine home, Fort Sam Houston so named because it neighbored the original site of Fort Sam Houston, which was later moved to San Antonio. This community, two miles west of Palestine was also the first county-seat of Anderson Co., and was the original town to be called Houston.

John H. Reagan was a student at Nancy Academy, Sevierville, Boyd's Cheek Academy, and Southwestern Seminary at Marysville. He came to TX, 5/29/1839 and joined General Rusk's regiment and on July 15 and 16 participated in the battle with the Cherokees and other Indians. In the fall of 1839 he was appointed deputy surveyor in that land district and held the position four years, alternating his duties as surveyor with work as a tutor for the children of a private family.

Texas paid surveyors in land, and, at one time, Reagan owned large tracts of land in Texas, more that he could pay taxes on. Accordingly, when Judge Buford, his law partner, of Palestine, told Judge Reagan that he was moving to Dallas, Judge Reagan made Judge Buford a present of 100 acres of land. At that time, the land was not worth the taxes, but is now in the heart of Dallas.

John H. Reagan was elected Capt. of the Militia and Justice of the Peace in 1842. In 1843 he was with General Tarrant in an expedition.

From The Omohundro and Their Kin by M.H. Omohundro; The Reagan/Parker Family Genealogy by Helen G. Reagan; Memoirs by John H. Reagan; Not Without Honor by Ben Proctor.

[NI0160] Born at Travelers Rest Plantation, Northumberland Co., VA ( re Ben Proctor citing MH Omohundro's book,)
Petite, dark-haired, blue-eyed belle. Moved to Texas in the 1830s.s
Educated by governesses as was the custom at the time.
She was the unofficial librarian of her father's library in TX (the largest in Texas at the time.) It was in this capacity that John H. Reagan met her and fell in love.
According to Reagan's Memoirs, in Edwina he found the love and affection he had long done without. From her he acquired social grace and poise he had never known, and, together with her, he provided a Christian home for their four children.
She died in Richmond, VA while her husband, John H. Reagan was serving as Postmaster General of the Confederacy. She was buried in Palestine, TX.
Her death was the result of being impaled by a chair on which she was standing to hang drapes.

[NI0183] Moved to Pecos, TX in 1891 and opened a store there.

[NI0186] She died 1837 Just after entering Texas, as she and George started
out from Blount County, Alabama, in a caravan of covered wagons to claim a grant of 1980 acres of land in Houston County, Texas, at Alabama Crossing, on the river south west of Crockett. Mary married George W. Haile circa 1822. George W. Haile died 1841 and is buried in Houston Co. Texas. Mary was buried by the side of the road. George continued on with his 2 sons and took up the 1280 acres of land.

[NI0187] Moved to Onslow County, North Carolina, with his
parents about 1780, and then on to Sullivan Co., Tennessee, with them
about 1787. He married in 1798 Nancy Mulkey, born North Carolina
17 . In census records 1830 she is listed as over 50 years of age,
in 1840 as over 60 years of age. In both records, she appears to be
years junior to Samuel, her husband. In 1850, her age is given as 70
years and is 5 years junior to Samuel. The indications are that she
was born prior to 1775, and the age given in 1850 is below the actual
age. They moved to Barren County, Kentucky in/805, and he was
granted 150 acres of land 23 November 1807. (Land Rec. Lib. 20,
fol. 507.) They moved to Sequahatchie Valley, Tennessee, and set-
tled in Bledsoe County, Tenn. prior to 1812, where he engaged in
farming. They both died during the year of 1857.

[NI0189] Moved to Baltimore County, Maryland with his parents about 1758,
and with them to Guilford County, North Carolina in 1768. He mar-
ried prior to 1772 Mary (___), born North Carolina in 1773. We
have never been able to learn the maiden name of this Mary. One
entrant to the Daughters of the American Revolution has this name
recorded as Mary Griffith, but she has not been able to furnish us
any documentary evidence supporting this claim.
Samuel was provided with his portion of his father's estate at the
time of his marriage as he is mentioned in his father's will as "being
already portioned," and was bequeathed 2 shillings and six pence. He
moved to Onslow County, North Carolina, and was granted 300 acres
of land on both sides of 2nd creek, entered 1st of April 1779 and issued
29 march 1780. He enlisted in 1781 as Private, Captain J. Sharpe's
Company, Colonel Franics Locke's Light Horse Service. He is shown
on a Pay Roll 11 March 1781 as due pay for 12 days service. (N.C.
Col. Rec. xvii, fol. 1056.) On the 3 Aug. 1779 he entered a claim for
100 acres of land in Sullivan County, now Tennessee. They removed
to Sullivan County, Tenn. in 1787 and he was issued a patent for this
land 9 Aug. 1787. They subsequently removed to Sequatachie Valley
in Bledsoe County, Tenn., where he became an influential citizen of
the County. He was a charter member of the first Masonic Lodge in
the County, he was a staunch member of the Missionary Baptist
Church. He was generally called "Captain" but it is not stated the origin
of the title. He died at his home in 1816. Mary survived him and died
in 1838 aged 85 years. There is a sketch of this man given in Biographical
Album, Ogle, 1898.
In August 1932 we received a communication from Mrs. W.J.
Hollaway, a descendant of Samuel Billingsley, which we believe is of
interest and we quote in part: "I visited the old Smyrna graveyard Sun-
day where some of the Billingsleys are buried but the biggest thing
I got was poison ivy. I found the grave of my great grandfather, John
Billingsley, and his first wife Martha Blackwood, and his second wife
Jane Hoodenpile. I have been told that the grave of Samuel Billingsley,
is in this graveyard and that it was the first grave ever placed there,
but if so the markings are all gone and ! could not find it. There are
a number of old graves there but most of them are beyond recogni-
tion. I do not know of any old people who could identify those from
which time has erased alI markings..."

[NI0191] He was Legatee in his father's will in 1745. He married prior to 1747, Elizabeth Crabtree, born 1726 in Maryland. They moved to Baltimore County, Maryland about 1758 where they resided until about 1768, then moved to Guilford County, North Carolina. He appears to have owned considerable land but there does not appear any deed to account for it. In 1771 he appears as a signer to a petition asking for clemency for John Pugh and Thomas Welborn who appear to have been associated with the Insurrectionist. (N.C. Rec. Vol. ix, 25, 26, 29, 30.) When the Revolution began he became quite active in aiding the American cause, sent his sons into the service and incurred the enmity of the Tories in the vicinity in particular.
He was continually harrassed by them until the year 1776 when they
invaded his home and asked for money. On being told he had none
they took him to a nearby tree and hanged him. This statement comes
from his wife who made note of his death in the family Bible, and
as she lived to know many of her great grandchildren, she often
repeated the tragic death of her husband to them. One of these, the
son of John Billingsley, Jr. heard the story, and it was also often
repeated to him by his grandfather, a lad of some 15 years of age at
the time of death of his grandfather, who wrote it aII down at the time.
Before his death he wrote all that he had made note of into a complete
record of the famiIy for his children.
James BiIlingsley was killed in April 1776. He dated his will 25 Jan.
1776, and it was probated in May term of Court 1776.

[NI0193] There is a traditional record among the descendants of James Billingsley that Mary was a daughter of Major William Dent, but no evidence has been discovered to substantiate this claim and the William Dent records do not show that he had a daughter named Mary. Nathaniel Sumner, brother of Mary, appears to be associated with William Billingsley in some transactions.
On August 4, 1716, William Billingsley and James Cobb gave bond
for 100 pounds for his mother as administrator to his father's estate,
and in 1717 he exhibits a final account of this estate in place of his
mother. (Test. Proc. xxiii, 68-78-141.) They moved to St. Mary's
County, Maryland, where he engaged in farming, evidently using
rented land as there does not appear any record showing he ever owned any real estate. (The deed records of St. Mary's County were destroyed by fire many years ago and the above statement applies to records now on file at Annapolis.)
In the inventory of the estate of his brother, Bowies, he signed it
with Samuel Billingsley as "Nearest of Kin." He was a witness to will
of Elizabeth Alburt 16 April 1739, said Elizabeth was a Bowles and
connected with the family.
Mary died in Dec., 1740 following the birth of Elizabeth. He dated
his will 11 August 1745. The Rachel Billingsley who was a witness
to this will is the widow of Bowles Billingsley, his brother.

[NI0195] Moved to Virginia with his parents and then returned to Calvert
County with them in 1675. He married (prior to 1691) Claranna
Bowles, born Maryland 167__. She is believed to be a daughter of Valentine Bowles.
He was given 100 acres of land called "Addition" at the time of his
marriage by his father and he disposed of the same before 1700 as
Rent Rolls show it was Possessed at that time by Benjamin Ball. In
1700 he is listed on a Rent Roll as possessing 100 acres of land, part
of a 350 acre tract surveyed for George Young in February, 1680, at the
head of Bottle Creek.. On.July 5, 1704, 136 acres of land was surveyed
for William Billingsley and called "Billingsley's Swamp" on the north
side of Bottle Creek and adjoining land of John Wood. (Lib. D5, fol.
170.) He acquired other holdings of land, though no deeds have been
found concerning the same. In the will of Richard Johns of Calvert
County, Probated 14 June 1717-18; item: To my grandson Richard,
son of my deceased son Abraham, two tracts made over to the testator
by William Billingsley, i.e., 136 acres called "Billingsley's Swamp,"
and 150 acres called "Friendship Rectified."
In 1700 William Creed and William Billingsley appraised the estate
of John Carmody (Test. Proc. xviiiB-47). On 17 Sept. 1706 William
Billingsley and William Williams appraised and inventoried the estate
of Andrew Graham (Test. Proc. xixC-81).
William died intestate the latter part of July, 1716 and his estate
was administered 4 Aug. 1716 by Claranna, his widow, with James
Cobb and William Billingsley, Jr. as bondsmen for 100 pounds. On
10 of January 1716-17 is an account and July 1717 is a final account
rendered by William Billingsley, Jr. Date of the death of Claranna
not known though the final returns of administration returned by
her son indicates she was deceased.

[NI0197] Born 1647, probably in Holland. He came to Nansemond County,
Virginia with his parents and uncles, John and James Billingsley,
prior to 1649. He came to Calvert County, Maryland with his parents
Anno 1652. He moved to Richmond County, Virgina with his parents
about 1659. He and his brothers Francis and Edward were legatees
to a "Cow Calfe" each in the will of James Billingsley in 1663, who
called them "my three cousins (Nephews) on the Rapehannock."
They were also mentioned in the will of Susanna Billingsley, widow
of James, in the same year.
He became interested in the vessel which his aunt owned and which
his father operated. When his parents returned to Maryland he re-
mained in Virginia with his aunt and assisted in the operation of the
vessel. He married Jan. 1669 Sarah Ann, daughter of William Bill-
ingsley, Born Virginia 1652 and his first cousin. During the year 1670
they moved to St. Mary's County, Maryland, where he purchased
another vessel and continued in maritime trade.
In 1673 they returned to Virginia and about 1675-76 they moved
to Calvert County, Maryland. He does not appear to have owned
much land. In 1684 he became possessed of 100 acres called "Addi-
tion" from his father. From this time there appears an estrangement
between John and Francis, his brother. Francis appears with the ma-
jor portion of his father's holdings. Whether his marriage to his cousin
had any relation to this is possible, but not definitely known. Owing
to loss of deed records in Calvert County, it is not known by what
means he came into possession of 200 acres, part of a tract called
"Mears." He apparently gave to his son, William, the tract called "Ad-
dition" upon his marriage in 1691. John died in the year 1693, having
been lost at sea during a storm. Rent Rolls of 1694 show 200 acres
of "Mears" owned by widow Billingsley. She disposed of this land as
Rent Rolls show it was sold July, 1710 by Sarah Talbot to Richard
Johns. She married (2) about 1699 William Brown. They moved to
Richmond County, Virginia, where he was granted 88 acres of land
in 1709. (Lib. S, Fol 230) She died 1712-13. No children by 2nd
marriage.

[NI0199] No. 18 on Magna Charta Surety line, was the progenator of our
line of Billingsleys in America. Born County Salop, England in
1620, he moved to Holland with his parents. He came to Virginia
with his brothers, John and James, prior to 1649. He was
married about 1647 to Ann (___) born 1620. This marriage
probably took place in Holland. He had a grant of land (200 acres),
called "Selby Clifts," lying on the west side of the Chesapeake Bay as
an assignee of Edward Selby, for transportation of Thomas Forby Anno
1649, Caecilius, Absolute Lord and Proprietor of the province of
Maryland and AveIon Lord Baron of Baltimore, the 26th. day of
November in the 27th. year of our Dominion over scl Province of
Maryland, Anno 1650. He came into the Province of Maryland An-
no 1652 at which time he "Transported his wife and son John."
In Anno 1653 he transported into the Province a "Maid servant,
named Ann." At a Court held at Patuxent 5 of December 1654, Fran-
cis Billingsley was made Constable for the Clifts and was ordered to
be present at the next Court to take charge of the office of Constable
(Ct. Rec. also Md. Arch. Vol. 10, 410.)
In Anno 1656 he transported into the Province his brother James
and Thomas Billingsley. In Anno 1657 he transported another maid
servant also named Ann.
In Assembly proceedings 1657 in a list of several charges to be
Satisfied by way of Levie out of the County of Patuxent is:
"flor Fran. Billingsley for one wolf, 100 pounds of tobacco."
In Anno 1658 he transported into the Province "Sarah Billingsley."
She is known to be the widow of his brother, William, decsol. In all
these Transportations it is to be noted they all came from Virginia.
During the year 1658 he had a resurvey made upon "Selby Clifts"
in his name. In March 1658 at the beginning of the year he refused
take the oath as Constable (a yearly appointment) and was fined
591 pounds of tobacco. His refusal appears to be based upon the fact
:that he removed to Richmond County, Virginia with his sister-in-law
where he operated the farm and a sloop owned by her. This is where
John and Edward became interested in seafaring. In the latter part
of the year 1659 Samuel Chew made claim in Court for 1200 pounds
of "Tobacco & Caske" of Francis BiIIingsley which has never been paid.
While still living in Virginia he applied for additional land in
Maryland and on the 4 May 1663 there was surveyed for him "Corne
Hill," for 350 acres and "Deer Quarter" for 250 acres, both tracts
patented to him 11 Sept. 1663.
On 9 Nov. 1663 his brother James made his will and mentioned
"my three cousins (Nephews) who live on the Rapahannock, etc. leav-
ing each a Cow Calf."
On 7 Dec. 1663 Susanna, widow of James made her will and pro-
vides for "3 Cow Calves to Cousins" in compliance with will of her
husband, James Billingsley, decsd.
On or about February 1663-64 he returned to Calvert County,
MaryIand, his sister-in-law having remarried.
On 2 March 1663-64 there was surveyed for Francis BiIlingsley and
Christopher Beard 350 acres of land near the "Clifts" in the woods,
patented to Francis Billingsley 26 May 1664. Early in 1668 he sold
30 acres of this tract to John Meats. According to the will of said Meats
1675 said Meats appears to own the whole 350 acres of this tract with
no record to show how acquired.
On 3 June 1668 there was surveyed for the patented to Francis BiIl-
ingsley 100 acres of land adjoining "Deer Quarters;" this was called
"Addition."
In the spring term of Court 1668 is the case of Francis Billingsley
vs. George Adkins, etc. (While he is known to have been Quaker this
shows he was not as strict in the faith as is common, but they do not,
as a rule, have recourse to law, but hold to their Meetings to mete
out Justice.) On 26 Nov. 1668 is record of case of Ann BillingsIey ver-
sus William Kay, said Kay having been indicted for criminal assault
and attempted rape upon Ann, the wife of Francis Billingsley. (Prov.
Ct. Lib. FF, 601-652.)
In 1672 he was named as overseer in the will of his brother Thomas
BilIingsley. In 1677 he was namned as one of the guardians in the
will of Thomas Paget. In Oct., 1678 Mr. Francis Billingsley was a
delegate from the Calvert County to the Lower House but did not
appear. On 21 Oct. 1678 he was present as a member of the Lower
House at a meeting held at St. Mary's.
On 23 Aug. 1681 Francis BiIIingsley and three other members of
the Lower House regarding certain Laws governing the Lower House.
On 29 Aug. 1681 a message on the matter was sent to the Upper House
by Francis Billingsley and others.
On 9 Nov. 1681 at a meeting of the Upper House
presented "a message from the Lower House from Mr. Cheseldyne
and Francis Billingsley Desiring Pursal of the Book of Laws and an
answer to the last Bill relating to the Land Office."
On Nov. 1683 Francis BillingsIey was appointed one of the Com-
missioners of Calvert County for the purpose of purchasing town lands,
ports and survey of town and ports, and to stake lots, etc. (Arc Md.
and Proc. and acts of Gen. Assembly Oct. 1678-Nov. 1683.)
This appears to be the last record of him and he died intestate in
the year 1684 as his sons appear to be in possession of land laid out
him. No record of any administration of his estate has so far been
discovered. That his sons succeeded to his land is shown in their
records. It is not known the date of the death of Ann. She was living
Nov. 1668 and from the fact she does not subsequentIy show in any
of the records after 1668 it is believed she did not long survive her
trying ordeal that year. We have endeavored to show every record
so far found concerning this man for the reason that while five brothers
came to America he is the only one who left male issue to the third
generation and he is therefore the founder of the family of 1649 in
Maryland and Virginia.

"PARKER, ISAAC (1793-1883). Isaac Parker, legislator, son of John and Sarah (White) Parker, was born in the northeast corner of Georgia, probably in Elbert or Franklin County, on April 7, 1793. With his parents and siblings, he moved to Dickson County, Tennessee, in the summer of 1803. He moved to Robertson County, Tennessee, where he married Lucy W. Cheatham of Charlotte County, Virginia, on August 13, 1816. Shortly thereafter they moved to Crawford County, Illinois, to join other family members there. He was sheriff of Clark County in 1819-20, later justice of the peace in Crawford County, and county treasurer in Coles County, whence he departed for Texas in late 1833. He settled at Mustang Prairie, Houston County, in 1834 and on October 5, 1835, began a race across the southern United States to spread the alarm of the coming war with Mexico and to call for volunteers to come to Texas. In the fall of 1836 he served during the Texas Revolutionqv as a member of Elisha Clapp'sqv company of rangers. Parker represented Houston County in the House of the Third, Fourth, Sixth, and Seventh congresses (1838-40 and 1841-43) and was a senator for the District of Houston, Nacogdoches, and Rusk in the Eighth and Ninth congresses (1843-45). He was a member of the Convention of 1845.qv He was a senator in the first four terms of the Texas legislature (1846-53) and represented Ellis and Tarrant counties in the House in 1855-56, at which time he introduced the bill to establish Parker County. In 1845 he made repeated efforts to secure the release of his niece and nephew, Cynthia Ann Parker and John Parker,qv who had been captured by Indians at Fort Parkerqv on May 19, 1836. He identified Cynthia Ann at Camp Cooperqv in January 1861, after her recapture on December 18, 1860, by Lawrence Sullivan Ross.qv Parker took her to his home at Birdville and later to Austin, where he succeeded in having bills passed granting her a pension and a league of land. Four children were born to Parker and his first wife; she died on August 29, 1867. He married Virginia Hill Sims on September 1, 1870, in Limestone County, and they had four children. Isaac Parker died on April 14, 1883, near Weatherford, Texas, and was buried in Turner Cemetery, six miles southeast of Weatherford.

[NI0547] Hardships in VA after the Revolutionary War caused John Parker to move his family to Elbert Cp., GA. As civilization made inroads into GA, he decided to move his family to TN where economic possibilities were rumored to be better. This trek was made about 1803.
After listening to the stories of trappers, the Parkers and many of their congregation, set off for IL, where Sallie died, and then off to TX.
About 1832, the Parker family moved to Texas from Quincy, IL, taking the Baptist Church in IL with them. On Sat. evenings they would pitch their tents and on Sun. all of the ordinances of the Church were observed.
The caravan of the Parkers came up on the east side of the Navasota River until they struck the old San Antonio Road and made their way to the present Houston County, near the north line of the present town of Grapeland. From this place the Parker clan scattered. Daniel took his children and went a few miles north to what is now Elkhart, in Anderson Co. Silas, James, Benjamin and Elder John pushed on to the west. They first took their families to the last fort that was thought to be safe from Indian attack, Fort Houston, which is about 2 mi. west of the present city of Palestine, Anderson Co., TX. The fort was an important point of frontier defense from 1836-1839. It was abandoned in 1841, and later the site became the home of Judge John H. Reagan, called Ft. Houston.
Elder John, Silas, and James W. Parker moved on to the head of the Navasota River in present Limestone Co., near the present Groesbeck. Here they erected Parker's Fort, a kind of wooden barricade or wall around their cabins, as a means of protection agains hostile Indians.
On the morning of May 9, 1836, Indians attacked the fort and Elder John was killed. He is buried at Fort Parker and is one of the two revolutionary soldiers buried in TX.
Fort Parker has been rebuilt by the state of TX and completely restored, even to some iron cooking vessels of John Parker, which are in his cabin in the center row of fort cabins.

" Silas Mercer Parker J
2. JOHN PARKER4 (Silas Mercer3, John2, Nathaniel I), son of Silas Mercer Parker and his wife, Lucy Duty, was born in 1829. He, too, was taken prisoner by the Indians during the Massacre at Fort Parker. He was separated from the other members of the family after the war dance near Weatherford and was taken to the far Southwest.
With the half-naked boys of his age, he played hunter, warrior and bad man of the wilds, as do our boys in civilized life. He became a full-fledged Indian and ready for any kind of raids for food or war. He made a history of his own, of which only a meagre report can be obtained. He became a leader and his operations were principally
along the Rio Grande valley and on the Mexican border. His band sometimes made raids far down into Old Mexico, on one of which he captured a beautiful senorita named Dona Juanita, whom he brought back to camp. By kind treatment such as was justified by her beauty and loveliness, she soon came to regard her captor as her lover, and true to Spanish characteristics, the love was returned, and the cap
tive became the bride of the daring John, with all the tender devotion' and care due a camp wife.
All went well until John contracted smallpox. There is nothing more destructive in an Indian camp than this disease, so the Indians all abandoned John in the deserted camp. They forcibly took his devoted wife with them and moved far away, leaving John to die.
The Aztec beauty was haunted both day and night by visions and dreams of her suffering lover. When opportunity came, she fled from Jack R. Selden and Dal, her captors, and with no regard for danger or distance, she hastened to the wigwam of the brave John, whom she found still alive.
Having some knowledge of how to treat the disease, she soon nursed him back to health. Here, alone, far away from other tribes and free from civilization, they enjoyed their own companionship. John was so resentful at the tribe for abandoning him in distress that he refused further alliance with them, and went with the Mexican girl to the straw thatched home of her people.
Having traveled so much in Texas and Mexico, he took up occupation of professional guide. When the Civil War broke out, he joined the Confederate army in defense of Texas. Like Sam Houston, he believed Texas soldiers should fight on Texas soil. When ordered east, he refused to cross the Texas line, and returned to the Rio Grande
Valley. On the way back, he stopped one night in Anderson county with an uncle whom he had not seen since his capture when he was six years old.
John was a peculiar person. Not one drop of Indian blood flowed through his veins, yet he looked like a typical Indian, with feathers decorating his hat. He talked vey little, and did not visit with his relatives - not even his own sister, Cynthia Ann, who was not fa away. He departed for the west and no trace of him or his family has since been found."

They indicate that John Cole, the son-in-law of the deceased was present and testified as was Dennis' widow, Barbara Garrett. While Oldton was condemned to be hanged, he was graciously pardoned by their Majesties pardon in the usual form. He seems to have gone back to England for a while, but eventually returned to MD.

[NI0954] The following is quoted from THE BOOK OF RAGAN/REAGAN by Donald Reagan:

"On Saturday, 21 June 1777, he and his wife Julianna Stentz sold this 300 acres of land on "head waters of Leeper's Creek and Lick Run adjoining John Dellinger" for 70 pounds Proclamation Money to Nicholas Shrum and Henry Dellinger in Tryon County, North Carolina. Both he and his wife signed in the old German script.

In this deed, Martin was named as "Doctor Martin Shultz." Apparently between 176 and 2777 he had received his training as a physician and surgeon while living in Mecklenburg and Tryon Counties, North Carolina.

This deed verifies the family tradition that he was a German surgeon. In John Henninger Reagan's MEMOIRS, he said, "His wife (John Henninger Reagan is speaking of his grandfather, Richard Ragan.), whose maiden name was Shultz, was the daughter of a German surgeon of that name, who served as such in our Revolutionary army during the most of the war." The notes of Claiborne County, Tennessee Shults family also stated that Martin was a doctor in the Revolutionary War.

Sometime during the Fall of 1777 or the Winter of 1778, Doctor Martin Shultz and his growing family began to make preparations for the journey to Washington County, North Carolina (now Tennessee). By the early Summer of 1778, they had made the trek, and when they arrived there, they settled "on the south side of Holston River adjoining Samuel Smith's line and John Webb's line" in Washington County.

Doctor Martin Shultz made an entry for 200 acres of land in Washington County, North Carolina (now Tennessee) on Thursday, 19 August 1779. A survey's warrant for the County Surveyor in said county was not issued until late November of that year by John Carter. After the division of Washington County in 1779, the warrant was forwarded to the County Surveyor of Sullivan County, North Carolina (now Tennessee) to be surveyed. In this land entry in Washington County, Martin is again named as "Doctor Martin Shoults". This also verifies family traditions and it refutes statements of early Tennessee historians that there were "no trained physicians" in the area in the early days.

After Sullivan County was created in late 1779, all later records of the family were found there.

The family traditions say "he was in the Battle of King's Mountain, serving
under Colonels Shelby and Campbell in the capacity of a surgeon. He attended
the wounded soldiers at the battle along with the other doctors there." It
was stated "gangrene had set up in many cases...many limbs had to be amputated
...the army had little of no anesthesia...whiskey and manpower were used in
performing the operation."

on pages 261 and 262 of THE REAR-GUARD OF THE REVOLUTION by James R. Gilmore, it is found that:

"...A terrible night followed the terrible day of the battle. The cold was intense, and a strong wind swept across the mountain. The wounded lay around where they had fallen, upon the bare ground, among the unburied dead, with no shelter but the gray sky above them. There were no splints for their shattered limbs, no bandages for their flowing wounds, and only one surgeon among the entire two hundred and fifty. Said one who witnessed it, "The scene was heartrending in the extreme---the groans of the dying, and the constant cry of the wounded for "Water!" "Water'."."

It appears that the surgeon was in Colonel John Sevier's Company of 250 men, and it is strongly believed that this surgeon was our Doctor Martin Shultz.

The representative of two states, John Sevier for the State of Franklin and Evan Shelby for the State of North Carolina, met and tried to reach an agreement on governing of two states at Samuel Smith's residence in Sullivan County, being at that time, the State of Franklin (now Tennessee) on Tuesday, 20 March 1787. It is probable that our Doctor Martin Shultz was a witness there. Martin and Samuel Smith were adjoining landowners. Records of the meeting are found on page 138/39 of HISTORY OF THE LOST STATE OF FRANKLIN by Samuel Cole Williams."

[NI0956] Boarded "Pennsilvania Merchant" in Rotterdam, Holland, traveled to Dover , England. Arrived in Philadelphia, PA, and took the oath of allegiance to the province of Pennsylvania.
Shortly after arrival, they traveled to "frontier", to Lancaster County, PA on the west side of the Susquehanna River.

"Christopher Branch was one of the viewers of tobacco in Henrco in 1639 and in an Assembly convened 1639 was one of the representatives for Henrico Co. in the House of Burgesses. In 1656 he was a justice of the peace for Henrico."

Ancestral Files show date of death October.

[NI1635] In 1658 Benjamin and his family moved to Maryland where Lord Baltimore, Cecil Calvert, signed his "denization" paper himself. Benjamin became a Justice of the Peace, a highly sought after job by those with money because in this (basically) lawless land, the justice of the peace could make any rule he wanted.
Benjamin died unexpectedly some time between 12/1662 and 5/1663.

From Nancy E. L. Flack nanflack@metro.net

[NI1636] Immediately after Benjamin's death, Mary Brasher made out her will, although she didn't die that year. She was a capable and savvy woman who made her new husband, Thomas Sterling, sign a prenuptial agreement that her property would go to her children, not to him, when she died. The house taht Benjamin and Mary lived in was still standing in the early 1960's and there is a picture of it in a Brashear genealogy written by Troy ca 1963.

[NI1836] Wrote his "Memoir" in 1816, subsequently published as part of the (1855) authoritative "History of Texas" by Henderson K. Yoakum.
He began his adventures at the age of 17 when he floated down the Holston and Tennessee to Natchez on the Mississippi and continued on to be captured by the Mexicans in Texas. In MEX, he cast dice to see who would be hanged for bearing arms against Spain, spent 10 years in captivity, including a year in a dismal dungeon at Acapulco with only a white lizard for a companion, and gained his freedom to make gunpowder for the rebels during the 1st Mexican War of Independence. He finally sailed home in pirate Jean Laffitte's ship.
He filibustered ( participated in a military adventure in a fordign country) with Philip Nolan in Texas in 1800, and 10 years later, when he rode with Jose Maria Morelos y Pavon, who was later president of independent Mexico, Bean saw Texas gain her independence from the Mexicans in 1836 and 9 years later join the Union.

"Tell Cousin Di I dreamed of her as was 20 years ago, a girl young and sprightly. My love to her family.

Edgewood, October 2, 1857

Dear Cousin Polly,
Yours of September 14th. Came to hand late yesterday evening and afforded me no little pleasure, and though feeling all unstrung, I attempt a reply. I wished for what I called "an Old Woman's Letter," for the simple reason that such a one speaks of little things and familiar objects which always call to mind Home and family and the sweet delights of innocent childhood. Feel as young and cheerfull as you can - aye & thoughtful too, but when you write to me let it be an "Old woman's letter," though the heart feel as young and dance as lightly as at 15 - The heart may never grow old, but neglect and disappointment & ill treatment may crush it, but still in its depths are hidden thoughts - thoughts pure & bright, which like the fountain in the caverns of earth - - -
"Forever in loneliness flow
Yet their waters are as pure & bright
As if gushing along beneath blue sunny skies
They live an existence of light."
You are rejoicing in a series of revivals. I feel that I can rejoice with you - it is good news. Oh how glad would I be if I could tell you that the moral desert around us had been made to blossom, - but alas! Lethargy seems to have settled down upon those who are called God's people & who should be the salt of the earth. The watchmen are drowsy on the Towers. - The people are busy after much gain - Alas! Alas! We are I a sad state, neither hot nor cold. I pray God we may be warmed up with his love.
I thought you had forgotten all about that little girl - - I began to think it was not altogether a joke, & for the first time feel a curiosity to know who it can be.
You speak of sons and daughters of the Old Dominion. Her daughters are fair enough and make the best of wives and best of mothers, - as to her sons, there are none goodlier in all the land. I love my adopted state and my sunny home is beautiful, & comforts are accumulating around it, and I am more content and really happier than I ever was - yet, am I a Virginian still, 'tis my pride - my birthright. Some poet has beautifully expressed the feeling of one far from home. I wish I could lay my hands upon it, but I give you the sentiment in prose. You will recollect the childish amusement of holding those large old conch shells to the ear when a sound not unlike the distant roar of the ocean is heard, so the poet says that the shell far removed from its home still sings of the sea. Still, "Dear to my heart are the scenes of my childhood" and it used to be a cherished wish with me to revisit once more every spot familiar to my childhood, the well remembered scenes and dear old trees under whose boughs I sported, are painted in memories brightest colors. I know (I think I can say) I shall never, never see you again in the flesh, but thanks to God, through Christ Jesus, I hope to meet you in glorious home beyond the skies. Some deride the idea that we shall see each other in eternity, but is it not a blessed promise that we shall sit down in his Kingdom with Abraham, Isaac, & Jacob? - don't you think we will know them? & if so, may we not know each other? Tis comfortable at least. I have not given you the reason why I shall not see you again this side of the grave. Disease has fastened upon me permanently, & day by day I feel I am gradually sinking to the tomb. My Mother (poor heart) hopes that I may yet recover - Papa can't bear for me to mention it. I feel sure that I am in the last stages of Consumption, and that my end is at hand. So you see that I can't come after that Virginia wife. It used to be the most cherished desire of my heart to have a home and a wife of my own. All my happiness, all my pleasure has ever been comprised in the home circle, but though surrounded by such a circle, yet there is a place in the affections which only a wife can fill. I sometimes feel sad to think that I shall go off the stage of action so early and before I had "made my mark," yet I am not cast down for the Grace of God I can contemplate death without fear and thanks to Him for the mercy He extends to me daily. Tell cousin Julius it is a bad plan for a man to wait until he gets old before he marries. Tell him that there is a second crop of boys growing us with the second crop of girls who will speak for them long before he has an idea they think of marrying.
So cousin Hes is an "Old married woman," as the young men say of the girls as soon as married. I hope she finds matrimony all she expects & that she will make as good a wife as her mother and aunts. Tis the best wish I can make her. I am glad that cousin Shell is comforted. Lizzie received a letter from cousin Mary last week. They were both well. She did not say anything about emigrating.
You speak of groceries. - what do you think about $16.00 per barrel for superfine flour? It gets that high here, though now it is $9.00. Its lowest price at any time is $8.00. Sugar and coffee are as cheap in Richmond as here - dry goods much cheaper. Year before last the cold weather destroyed almost the entire crop of cane & consequently none was ground last year. This year the drought will no doubt shorten the crop much. We have made enough for another year, (not of sugar, for it is not grown here, - but of corn and other things.)
Papa is still rheumatic - Mother's health is not quite so good as usual. - She looks thin. Lizzy has been sick & is not entirely recovered. The other children are in fine health. Everard is a man - weights 148 - Kate is a large fat girl & Mary a little one with a mischievous look out of the corner of her eye. Merry as a - - - & the pet of us all. I had like not to have told you that a few of our young apple trees have perfect fruit this year & 5 years ago there was not a fruit tree on the land. Now we have peach trees 20 ft. high & in bearing 2 years ago. In fact I have seen seedlings perfect fruit the second year. The apples is a slower growth & no attention has heretofore been given them. I think they will do well.
We saved a little wheat which the frost & dry weather affected very much, yet it yielded about 15 bu. Per acre & weighs as high as 67 lbs. To the bu. We intend trying a little more this fall.
We expect Judge Reagan & family in a few days. I would not be at all surprised if Ben Turner was to drop in. He wrote that he might be along here about 1st Oct. Mother had a letter from cousin Ann last week. All were as usual. I believe they wrote you. Our association commences today 18 miles from us. I do not think any of us can go. The State Convention (Grand Association) at Huntsville 35 mi. off commences 2 wks. from tomorrow.
Remember me to all friends - Love to all. Tell Aunt Sarah we think and talk much of her and hers.

Your Cousin,
Lucian"

William Moss came to America in 1644 with his father Edward and his three brothers Edward, Robert and Thomas. They settled in York County, Virginia. William returned to England to be educated at Oxford University.

William returned to America in 1653 with his brothers Robert and Thomas. They were given a grant of 800 acres located on the south side of the Rappahonnock River in Old Rappahonnock County, on November 20, 1654 for transporting sixteen persons to the colony of Virginia. William gained additional property in Old Rappahonnock County. At the time of his death, William owned approximately three thousand acres of land.

On April 21, 1685, William wrote his will, naming his son as executor of his estate. He gave 1600 acres of land to his son, and much land, slaves, animals, and household furnishings to his two daughters. Elias Wilson, Thomas Neu and William's brother Robert signed William's will.

[NI2381] Lady Jane was a member of the noble North, Earl of Guilford, family from which Frederick Lord North, Prime Minister of England
under George III, was descended.

There is a record of Elizabeth suing her brother-in-law William Brown in 1698, in Richmond County, Virginia.

Source: RootsL, Scott A. McElfresh, 1994.

[NI2384] Edward Moss was the first Moss to emigrate to America. His name was first recorded in the York County, Virginia Court in 1625. However, other references give a much later date of 1644 for is residence in York County, Virginia. The most logical explanation for the difference in dates is that Edward Moss, being only 15 when first coming to America, may have returned to the colony of Virginia during the English Civil War (1642-1649), where he lived only a short time before his death.

Little else is known about Edward Moss except that he was a member of the Anglican church.

The exact number of children born to Edward and Ann (Belt) Moss is uncertain.

On 20 November 1654, the sons of Edward, the immigrant, -- William, Thomas, and Robert - were given a grant of 800 acres in Old Rappahonnock County (now Lancaster), Virginia, for transporting 16 persons to the Virginia County.

[NI2387] Edward Moss lived in York County, Virginia was a boatwright by trade and owned a vast amount of property. In 1657, Edward deeded to his son Edward two-thirds of his estate.

[NI2443] It is believed by several genealogists that Gov. Wm. Stone could not be the grandfather of Barbara Stone.
Henry Naylor has several arguments against this lineage, and Harry Wright Newman, author ot the Stones of Poynton Manor, also believes that Barbara was not a direct descendant.

[NI4616] "Homestead located at mouth of Boone's creek - across from Brother William Bean's. Family legend states he built a
cabin on Boone's Creek in 1761, bro. William moved into it with his family in 1769; when John moved his family in 1772,
built cabin across the creek.

From Moses Fisk 1816: "But part of the Cherokees notwithstanding Cameron's zeal, expressed a desire that the
trespassers might be permitted to remain, provided they would make no further encroachments. This favorable
symptom was not long neglected. Robertson and John Bean were by these tenants at will in 1771 [1772] sent to treat
with their landlords, and agree upon articles of accommodation and friendship. The attempt succeeded."

Served in Capt. William Russell's unit during Dunmore's War (1774) (Records Library of VA)

According to Sequatche(sic)? by J. Leonard Raulston and JW Livingood, He and his brother Capt. William scattered a
band of Tories and hung 9 of them at King's Mountain.

"Tories .. reinforced Indian attacks... Tories concealed themselves high in the mountains. Capt Bean and his whig
comrades, including his son George, his brother John, and John's son, Edmund, ferreted them out, and fired upon and
wounded their leader, Capt. Henry Grimes. ("In the Sweet By and By," by Mary Coghlan White.)

"Colonel Sever (Sevier?) waited at the French Board .... "At daybreak John Bean was dispatched with 5 scouts to see
it there was any trace of Indians. He killed one and brought his head to the camp (Brown, page 160).

In 1784, Washington, Sullivan, and Gilbert counties formed the independent State of Franklin... John Bean was a
delegate from Washington Co." ("In the Sweet By and By," by Mary Coghlan White).

p. 220 HARDIN PERKINS was born Tuckahoe Creek, Henrico County, and settled in Buckingham County. He married SARAH PRICE (Douglas Register), daughter of Daniel and Sallie (Coleman) Price. The will of Sarah (Price) Perkins is said to have been recorded in Fluvanna Co., Virginia, February 26, 1821.

----------

THE DESCENDANTS OF NICHOLAS PERKINS by William Hall

HARDIN PERKINS was born probably about 1730 and died leaving a will recorded January 12, 1795, in Buckingham Co., Va. He married SARAH PRICE, born about 1734, died January 25, 1821, Fluvanna Co., Va.

The origin of his name has long been a puzzle. He was born and named long before his brother's marriage to Bethenia Harding. This has led to much speculation that there was an earlier Perkins-Harding marriage. It has been variously suggested that his mother was Ann Harding rather than Ann Pollard as commonly thought, or that his great grandmother Perkins was a Harding. Miss Lucie Perkins Stone thought that there had been a connection with the Harding family in England. However without evidence to substantiate any of these suppositions, the problem of why HARDIN PERKINS received his name remains unsolved. The name Hardin occurs in many different branches of the family besides those descended from Bethenia (Harding) Perkins. For instance: Hardin Perkins #3314-9, William Harding Perkins #3341-5, Bethenia (Harding) Perkins #3342-b, Hardin Zanon Perkins #3312-36, Daniel Harding Perkins #3314-x7, James Hardin Bennington #3624-82.

HARDIN PERKINS was probably born in Goochland County or possibly in Hanover County as his father's land lay on the border. Although his marriage is not recorded in Goochland County, the birth of his daughter Sarah on August 15, 1756 is recorded in THE DOUGLAS REGISTER.

He probably accompanied his brother William Perkins westward as mentioned of HARDIN PERKINS is found in the Albemarle County records and later in those of Buckingham County. The latter county was formed from Albemarle in 1761.

HARDIN PERKINS made his home on the James River in Buckingham County somewhere between Norwood and Scottsville "at Perkins Falls." Mrs. Thomas Moore of Franklin, Tenn. (the wife of his grandson), in a letter written July 9, 1880, to Miss Mildred M. Perkins of Virginia (of which a copy is the W. R. Perkins papers in the Virginia Historical Society in Richmond, Va.), stated: "Mr. Moore's mother's father was named HARDIN PERKINS and married SARAH PRICE and lived on James River opposite where Dr. Gant's widow lives now. We visited the old place in 1853, walked through the house, saw where they were buried in front of the house under a chestnut tree. They had ten children, Daniel, William, Price, Hardin, Elisha, Sally, Nancy, I have always heard her called, Mildred, Maacah, and Polly Price. Daniel married my mother's sister Bethenia Perkins. William married my mother's sister Margaret, or Peggy as she was called. Price married Mis Blaky. Hardin married Miss Moore, Elisha Miss Watson. Sally married Lewis, Nancy or Ann married Edwards. Mildred married Key. Maascah married Jesse Franklin. Polly Price married Benjamin Moore. Daniel and William settled in Tennessee. They and all their children are dead. Elisha remained in Va. until not long before he died, then he came to this neighborhood where his brothers lived. Some of his children may be living. Don't know of any. Aunt Key has a grand d. living in this town, named Mrs. Harriet Cleland, a widow. Your father has a sister in Miss., cousin Eliza Shackleford."

Mrs. Moore continued to write letters ("This is the third communication to you since I received your letter.") and on Aug. 25, 1880, she wrote: "I want you to write to me very soon and let us know how things are progressing. I have just thought to tell you, Mr. Moore's grandfather. HARDIN PERKINS, is the oldest PERKINS I have heard of settling on James River. If he were living I should suppose he would be at least one hundred and fifty (150) years old. His youngest child has been dead fifty (50) years. Please excuse my half sheet of paper, as it is all I have, and did not want to delay writing. Mr. Moore joins me in sending much love to you, and both of us would be glad to see you."

Some of Miss Mildred Perkins' letters have been preserved and in one of them she wrote: "HARDIN PERKINS said to have been a brother of William of Buckingham and Richard of Cumberland County and who married SARA PRICE resided about four miles from Howardsville, Albemarle County, Virginia, on opposite side of James River, four miles from Warren. Several of his descendants were merchants and made considerable fortunes. In Scottsville four miles lower down was the residence of Price Perkins and his wife. I have often passed the home of our ancestors on the R. R. on the opposite side. The house stood under two immense chestnut trees. I have been on the spot and the old colored people would tell me of my grandfather and grandmother. Their son Price Perkins fell heir to the place and to another home about ten miles from Howardsville. This place is now owned by my cousins, the Glovers, two of the granddaughters of Price Perkins have an interest in the place. Now remember that the Misses Glover own the house of Price Perkins. Their brother, Price Glover, has a handsome place adjoining. On the walls of the parlor of the Glover's are portraits of HARDIN and SARAH PERKINS."

On May 11, 1758, William Oglesby, HARDEN PERKINS, and John Peter witnessed a deed from Richard Perkins to William Branshaw (p. 45 Albemarle Deed Bk.2). On Feb 12, 1761, Jacob Oglesby, HARDIN PERKINS, and Richard Oglesby witnessed a deed from John Perkins to Joel Perkins (p. 3 Albemarle Deed Bk. 3). HARDIN PERKINS is mentioned in the deed of gift from his father, May 19, 1761. The will of Thomas Mitchell of Amherst County, Oct. 5, 1767, mentions HARDIN PERKINS of Buckingham County.

HARDIN PERKINS provided a gun, bacon, beef, cattle and three bushels of meal for the militia during the Revolutionary War. His descendants are therefore eligible for membership in the D.A.R. and S.A.R. The records supporting this, now on file in the Virginia State Library in Richmond, are: p. 208 Commissioner's Bk. I; pg 4, 7, 26 Buckingham County Court Booklet; and Buckingham County certificate #114. The latter reads: #114. Recd November 22 - 178(0) of Capt HARDEN PERKINS Beef Cattel Agreeable to an Act of Assembly Entitled an Act for Giving further powers to the Governor & Council & for other purposes Appraised to L798 - 9. Appraised by Thomas Ballow & Steven Perkins who were Sworn to Appraise the Same - L 798 - 9 John Bates, Commissioner

This record is of interest in that HARDEN PERKINS is listed as captain. It is not known how he acquired this title. There was a Lt. HARDEN PERKINS on active duty with the Army until he resigned in 1778, but he lived in Pittsylvania County. The only HARDEN PERKINS living in Buckingham County of sufficient age to provide supplies for the Army was the HARDIN PERKINS here under discussion--who died about 1775. That he resided in Buckingham County and was well able to provide a beef to the Army is shown by the fact that in 1782 he paid taxes on 1000 acres in District #1. From 1787-1791 he paid taxes on the same amount of land. In 1793 he deeded 100 acres each to HARDEN PERKINS and to Price Perkins. From 1795-1800 the remaining 800 acres are listed as "Estate of HARDIN PERKINS."



HARDIN PERKINS also paid personal taxes in Buckingham County from 1790-1795.

On Nov. 5, 1788, he was appointed one of the commissioners to examine navigability of Slate River in Buckingham. Joseph and Mayo Carrigton, William Cannon, Henry and David Bell, and James Couch were the other commissioners (p. 657 vol. 12 THE STATUES AT LARGE by William W. Henning).

HARDIN PERKINS acted as executor of John Watkins, as shown by a suit in Henrico County, Mar 5, 1798, by HARDEN PERKINS and Tandy Key, executors of HARDIN PERKINS, deceased, who was the surviving executor of John Watkins, deceased, against Thomas Prosser for debt (p. 583 Henrico Order Bk. 7).

Although the Buckingham County records have been destroyed, the will of HARDIN PERKINS was recorded with the papers of a suit, Gibson vs. Key, in the Chancery File, April 1856 term, Fluvanna Co., Va. The will reads:

THE WILL OF HARDIN PERKINS:

In the name of God Amen I HARDIN PERKINS of the County of Buckingham being of sound mind and memory do make this my last Will and Testament. I hereby desire all the land & Negroes that I have heretofore given or lent to any or either of my Children to such child or children to them & their heirs forever.

[NI6941] Sure enough more trivia from me. Looking through some notes awhile ago and
found three things. One I know you won't have and would never find. I'll
tell you about it.

The first thing is the Clarke Country Gazeteer of 1884-85
BEDSOLE- Population 300. 15 miles from Grove Hill Court House.
Farmers: Seaborn Hutto, John Truett, John Hutto, A. J.
Hutchinson and
Frank M. Hutchinson.

The second thing is something I know you can't or wouldn't find. In the
Clarke County Court House in the basement is a room that is AWFUL. It is full
of old books just piled on the floor, trash boxes, water, and enough dust to
cause a Sahara dust storm. It is a room I think I'd almost be afraid to go in
alone, and you expect a rat or spider to jump out any minute. But one day
Opal, Roland and I went in, and looked around. In all the junk we found a
book in loose pages on the floor. We started putting it together to see what
it was and there in 1853 was Wm. C. Hutchinson

1853- William C. Hutchinson. W. M. 40 acres 10 cents tax.

Then the best one was the next one:

1860 - William C. Hutchinson - white, male single. Tax for single male 50
cents.

How about that? He was taxed more for being single than for the 40 acres. We
never found all the pages to the book, but we found those two goodies.

And the third thing is this. In the 1860 census Wm. C. is living on the
property next to my great,great grandparent, John and Mary Elizabeth Toland.
With him is Andrew Jackson, Sara and Harriet. Little Frank is not there. He
is living with someone else.

Then down in Bladon Springs Alex Hutchinson had a Frank "G" ( not M) aged 3,
living with him. We have always suspected that Alex was Wm. C.'s brother, and
the litttle Frank was with him and had the wrong middle initial, but we aren't
sure. Anyway, your friend who is researching Alex might find that interesting.
Alex was an interesting person from what I have seen. I believe he was a
successful farmer, slave owner, etc., but I have never had time to do much
research on him - - I've always been too busy looking for the slithery snake
William C. - who always glides out of sight. I have always said when he is
"ready" he will let us find him. Maybe now.

[NI7024] Misc. LEWIS Info

by Linda Sparks Starr
APR 1996

Augusta Co. VA LEWISes

This is not a specific line I've researched, but things I've
copied about the family while reading the history of the county
or while researching other lines. My "gut" feeling is, these
people ARE NOT related in any way to the Tidewater VA LEWISes.

from _Wither's Chronicles of Border Warfare_, by Alex. Scott
Withers, 1895.

p. 4: John LEWIS, father of Gen. Andrew, probably of Welsh
descent, was born 1678 in County Donegal, Ireland. He married
c1716 Margaret Lynn of the Lynns of Loch Lynn, Scotland. In 1729
he killed a man of high station in a tenancy dispute. [Others ex
plain the recently deceased landlord's son sharply raised prices
for all tenants.] John fled to Portugal, from whence he fled to
America 1731. He settled two miles east of Staunton. He was
Col. of Augusta Co. militia as early as 1743, presiding Justice
1745 and high sheriff 1748. He died 1 FEB 1762, age 84.
He had sons "Samuel", Andrew and Charles d. 1774 at Point
Pleasant. In a footnote on the page with "Samuel", the editor
said Wither's erred -- John Lewis HAD NO SON named "Samuel"; he
should have said "Thomas". (page 50)


from _Annals of Augusta Co. VA: Supplement_, by Joseph A. Waddell,
1888, page 395:
Col. John LEWISes children -- four sons and 2 daus; but he
only named Andrew and William. His informant was the dau of Wil-
liam.


from Lyman Chalkley _Chronicles of Scotch-Irish Settlement in VA_,
vol. III, page 189:
will of John LEWIS (not dated) ... to wife Margaret Warm
Springs tract, then at her death, to son Thomas. Will was proved
21 SEP 1790. [Probably after death of Margaret.]


from _Settlers of the Long Grey Trail: The Valley of VA Pioneers_,
by J. Houston Harrison, page 114:
John Lewis (1678-1762) was a native of Ulster ... according
to Cooke, was a member of a Huguenot father that had taken refuge
in Ulster. Through his mother he was a descendant from an an
cient Scottish family ... [p 115] John Lewis was of this faith
....[Presbyterian].

page 141 Gen. Andrew Lewis d. 1781
page 149: "John Madison, the Clerk of the [Augusta Co.]
Court, and brother-in-law of Thomas Lewis ... "

from _Old Churches, Ministers and Families of VA_, by Bishop Wil
liam Meade, vol. 2, page 325:

SUGGESTS common origin with other VA LEWIS families. "Mr.
John Lewis of Augusta, came from the county of Dublin, in
Ireland, about the year 1720 -- his eldest son Thomas, being born
there in 1718; some ascribe a Welsh origin, and others a
Huguenot, to the family. There were three other sons of the frist
John Lewis. The second was Andrew, the hero of Point Pleasant.
The third son William ..." [I didn't copy the next page. The
fourth son was Charles killed at Point Pleasant 1774.]

from _James Patton and the Appalachian Colonists_, by Patricia
Givens Johnson (1973), page 105:
"The CALHOUNS ... appeared in Augusta Co. in the early
1740s. Being Scotch-Irish relatives of John Lewis whose mother
was Mary CALHOUN."

[In her book on William Preston..., she says the PATTONS and
the PRESTONS stayed with "cousins" John LEWIS when they first
came to Augusta Co. c1740. William Preston is a nephew of
Jerry's Robert Poage, whose wife was a PRESTON by almost all ac
counts. I haven't found the connection; she also reports there
were 12 belted PRESTONS inside the walls of Londonderry 1688. (I
think I have the year right.)]


from _The Tinkling Spring: Headwater of Freedom_, by Howard
McKnight Wilson (1954), Appendix F, "Record of Baptisms 1740
1749", page 477: only LEWISes on list
Andrew Lewis' son John was bapt 14 SEP 1746
son Samuel was bapt 18 SEP 1748

Warner Hall LEWISes

from _Genealogies of VA Families_, from The William & Mary Quar
terly, vol. III, Heale-Muscoe, pages 369-375:

[Specific author of this sketch is not given.) Tradition is
Robert Lewis d. before 30 SEP 1656, York Co., is father of daus
Mary and Alice and a son John. (p370) "I find no evidence that
this Robert Lewis had a son John ..."
(p370) Maj. John Lewis, probably the LEWES who was aged 25
in 1635 "entered himself for VA in the Globe of London." He
received numerous land grants in New Kent and surrounding
counties.
A patent to Maj. William Lewis was in hands of Maj. John
Lewis of Warner Hall in 1717; he deeded it to his son Charles
found in Hening's Statutes, vol II, page 377. This Maj. Lewis
held the title as early as 1653.

page 371 begins a "continued" section of same article. The
author re-states Robert Lewis of York had only two daus, BUT he
was "doubtless a kinsman of the LEWISes of Warner Hall." Maj.
William Lewis's connection to Col. John Lewis apparently hinges
on ownership of plantation "Chemokins" or "Chemohocans."

The author then says the most likely parents of Col. John
Lewis of Warner Hall is John Lewis and Lydia of Gloucester who
settled on Lewis' Creek, formerly Totopotomoy Creek. His prob
able sons when he emigrated were: William, Edward and John Jr.
William MIGHT BE the above William; Edward settled in Rappahan
nock and King & Queen Cos; John Jr. granted lands in 1655 at main
swamp of Poropotank Creek. As Mr. John Lewis he patented land in
New Kent and Goucester, both sides above creek. In 1676 his
residence was near Maj. Thomas PATE's where Bacon encamped and
died.

(page 372) "According to the tombstone of his son Col. John
Lewis, he married Isabella _____, and had issue..." The footnote
says "It is not know (sic) how many sons John Lewis and Isabella
his wife had."

page 373: "John Lewis of Warner Hall, son of Maj. John
Lewis and Isabella, his wife, who was probably son of John Lewis
and Lydia who first settled on Poropotank Creek in 1653 was born
30 NOV 1669 and d. 14 NOV 1725. He married Elizabeth Warner
(1672-1719-20), dau Col. Augustine Warner and Mildred Read ...
They had 14 children but only 8 names are preserved.

[All those "preserved" were born after 1700. Robert ADAMS &
Mourning were married in 1712; if she were 16 when she married,
then her birth is c1696. But if she were 20, then her birth is
c1692. Mourning's probable birth could easily "fit" in this
line. They were living northerly of the CLARKs / JOHNSONs / MOOR-
MANs, but I think Robert will come out of Henrico Co. to the
south for he settled in Goochland which is south of Hanover and
Louisa Cos. In other words, my gut feeling is she doesn't come
from this line. Besides, I think there would be a tradition if
she did.]


from _Southside VA Families_, by John Bennett Boddie, vol. 1
(1955), page 314-317:
John Lewis rec'd land 1653 in Gloucester on Poropotank Creek
for transporting his probable sons -- Jon, Edd, Jon jr. (sic).
According to his tombstone found west of the creek:
John Lewis b. Munmoth Shire d. 21 AUG 1657, aged 63 yrs
Children: John Jr m. Isabella Miller, parents of the Warner
Hall Lewises
William left no desc
Edward of Old Rappah. Co. m. Mary. Their prob
chn: John, Edward, Benj,, Thomas, Edmund

from "John Lewis (1594-1657) of Monmouthshire, Eng. and
Gloucester and New Kent Co., VA" by Malcolm H. Harris, reprinted
in _Genealogies of VA Families_, from VA Magazine History & Biog
raphy, vol. IV

Poropotanke Creek is dividing line between Gloucester & New
Kent Co. It repeats the patent names transported, citing Nugent:
John, Lidia, William, Edward and John Jr. Harris then goes into
detail for the tombstones found at what is thought the homeplace
for John Lewis the emigrant.

John Jr. is the John of most patents -- including one adj.
George AUSTIN's line and Poropotank Swamp. He dropped the 'Jr"
in patents after 1657; he lived in New Kent Co., near Maj. Thomas
Pate, about two miles across the Poropotank Creek. His burial
spot is not found, but a tombstone for Mrs. Isabella Yard (1640
1703/4) is certainly his wife who married secondly Robert Yard.

The tombstone for son Col. John Lewis (1669-1725) at Warner
Hall in Gloucester reads: "Here lies ... son of John & Isabella
Lewis ... born 30 NOV 1669 d. 14 NOV 1725.

The tombstone for Capt. Edward Lewis (1667-1713) was found
at foot of Mrs. Isabella Yard's grave -- he is identified as son
of John and Isabella. Then John Lewis, son of Capt. Edward &
Susanna d. 7 APR 1718. His sister Mrs. Ann Skaife d. 16 FEB
1716, aged 27 with her two daus nearby. All three died FEB 1716
but only one of the girls was a few days old.

John Lewis (169_ - 1718) prob. married Mildred Washington
(1697-1747) aunt and godmother of George. Tradition is strong in
her line that she married first a "Mr. Lewis" and then Roger
Gregory and then ....

Kay found a surname MOURNING loosely connected to the Warner Hall
Lewises. John Lewis Jr. b. 22 MAR 1702, son of John and
Elizabeth (Warner) Lewis married Frances, dau of Henry Fielding
of King and Queen Co. c1719. The source: (page 373-6)

Northumberland Co. 8 APR 1667, he names his brother Robert,
sister Elizabeth Gwyn, brother-in-law Giles MOURNING and Francis
MOURNING their eldest son, sister Margaret Fryer, brother Ambrose
and brother Edward.

Zachary LEWIS

In Kay's letter 22 JAN 1995, she gives additional daughters:
Jane LEWIS m. Robert George d. 1775. Son Zachary married a Mary;
daughter Elizabeth married a Shackleford. The rest of this comes
from Sarah Anderson's _Lewises, Meriwethers & Their Kin_:

page 356, Anderson says Zachary Lewis emigrated to VA 1692; lived
in Middlesex Co. before taking up 450 acres King William Co. in
1694; then 500 acres in King & Queen Co. 1703. Only two known
sons -- possibly a third son is Owen of Albemarle Co.
Son John b. 1704 inherited land in Middlesex Co.
Son Zachary Jr. b. 1702 d. 1765 Spotsylvania Co. He gave
his portion of his father's estate to his unnamed sisters. He
had a daughter "Mourning" b. 1734. (p359 Anderson)


John Lewis of Hanover

page 129 Sarah Anderson's _Lewises, Meriwethers & Their Kin_: John
Lewis of Henrico emigrated 1660. Son William b. 1660 d. 24 DEC
1706 and daughter Sarah.

page 3: John Lewis of Hanover emigrated from Wales 1640 d. 1726
VA; his will probated Hanover Co. His fifth child, David, lived
near Charlottesville. David d. 1779 in Albemarle Co.

He appears 1660; his descendants include Maj. John of Goochland
b. 1735; he married Mildred Lewis, daughter of Robert and Jane
Meriwether.
