ii TO MY ANCESTORS
By EoLus in the Chicago Tribune ( Copied from the Virginia Gazette) I see you toiling down the tedious years, You bearded, gaunt and bent old pioneers, Sowing and reaping, sowing once again, In patience for an unborn race of me1~. I see you stniggiing in the wilderness \Vhcrc failure meant starvation - rmd success A cabin in the wilderness, rough hewn, rude Caiments of homespun and the humblest food. Tradition scarcely tells me whence you came, I only know a few of you by name! I only know you lived and multiplied Quite profligate in progeny - and died. Yet in my heart I know that most of you Were strong and steadfast and that one or two At least had weaknesses that still may be Traced in the trends of atavistic me. One I am sure was blcst with native wit - I am thankful that he transmitted some of itl That helped him dodge Dame Troubles swiftest dart And meet misfortune with a merry heart. One was rather a worthless wight, I fear, Wno v:hen the bluebird whispered spring was near Forsook his plow - a shiftless slugg:ud one And roamed the woods alone with rod and gun. And one a gentle dreamer was I trow Who lured by shadows let tne substance go 'Twas he who dared the raging W estem sea - I am glad he handed down his dreams to me.

Preface The family records included in this volume are far from com plete. Research into the background of the Martin family in Virginia has been diffirnlt and im,'Onclnsivc in some cases because the family came from the area in Virginia where tl1e records were destroyed during the \Var hctwccn the States. Therefore your compiler through frnstralion has a few times drawn conclusions that cannot be proved, but which are most logical. The records have been gathered during her leisure time over a period of about fifteen years. The author hopes that some member of the family will use this effort of hers to produce a more complete record just as she has used the little pamphlet on the Martin family written by Dr. J. 0. Martin thirty or thirty-five years ago as the basis of this work. It served as a compass and she acknowledges with gratitude her debt to him. The family records in each case have been fumisned by members of that family, _or have been secured from published records, courthouse, cemetery and Bible records. For the historical background material the author has worked in the Genealogical Room of the New York Public Library; the Congressional Library; the D.A.R. Library in Washington; State Records in Harrisburg, Pa.; the Historical Society, Lancaster, Pa.; The Pennsylvania IIistorical Society and the Presbyterian Library in Philadelphia; Hall of Records, Annapolis, Md.; Maryland His torical Society, Baltimore, Md.; Colonial Records, State Archives, Raleigh, N.C. She l1as spent several months in the State Archives in Ricl1mond, Va. where the records of all the Virginia Counties are assembled; the St;:ite Archives in Columbia, S.C. and of course Laurens Co. S.C. court records. Many individuals have helped with their own families. To the following she owes a special debt of gratitude:- Dr. J.O. Martin, Mr. Leon Hollingsworth, Greenwood Circle, Decatur, Ga., a pro fessional genealogist; Mrs. Lonny Culbertson, R 2, Laurens, S. C.; Mr. L.A. Green, R 4, Greer, S.C. who is a Martin-in-law; Mrs. Alvon S. Jones (Elizabeth Martin), 250 Rodes Ave., Lexington, Ky., who has done a great deal of research on the Martin family; Mr. John R. Martin of St. Joseph, Mo., author of a book on some cf these New 'Kent Martins from whom we also spring; Mr. Troy Jones,
iv 318 Hillsdale St., Laurens, S.C. who has such a store of local history at his command and Mr. Earle L. Martin of Bakersfield, Calif., Mrs. Ermna Roper. The author wishes there were more personal data concerning individual members. She has used what she had. She has more on her own family because she was able to copy it from an earlier book on the Puckett Family. A few allied families have been inclmlcd, At the Martin family reunions members were urged to submit stories of their own allied families. The ones included were the only ones submitted. The generations are indicated in this way: A-represents the first generation, B-the second generation and so on. Al-repre sents the first one mentioned in this generation. Cl5-represents the 15th. person mentioned in the third generation and so on.

The ~fartin Family St. Martin, Bishop of Tours, from whom the thousands of exist ing fyrartins clai1n descent, ,vas the son of a Rom0-.t--i Tribune. l-Ic ,vas born in Sabaria, a city in Hungary about the year A.D. 316. He was educated at Pavia, entered the army first under Constrn.tine and afterwards under. Julian the apostate. Price in his Distaff Descent gives a splendid account of him from which I quote almost verba tim:- "He became a soldier of some standing an_d influence. The famous tradition of his halving his coat with a s!,ivcring beggar always pictures him riding forth with gay companions. The sight of the beggar and the contrast with himself is supposed to have c:msPd liis inslant con-;ersion. Dcing a man of intclligi:nco he prohahly npprcdal<'d tlio futility of wand(,ring ahoot Europe fir~ht lng petty wars as against the solidity and possibilities offered hy a churchly career. Gradually he became more serious minded and finally became a monk. Here his instinct for leadership and his executive ability raised him to the Bishopric and finally to s;1int hood." He died in Tour:iinc about the year 307 A.D. on Nov. 11. The church ordered the anniversary to be observed as the Feast of St. Martin. That ,-.,as the ch1te of the pagan feast of Bacchus, so St. Martin became the patron of good living and the day is aiways celebrated with feasting and the passing of the wassail bowl. In Scotland the day still marks the winter term called Martin-Mass, the mass of St. Martin. - Stories were told of the wonderful cures• performed after St. Martin's death In his name. Even his famous cloak was miraculously preserved and solemnly carried before the French monarch as a victorious banner, the Counts of Anjou having the special privilege of bearing in battle a blue banner with "Chape de Saint Martin" on it. History states that the cape was present on the field of Narbonne when Charlemagne vanquished the Saracens. It was carried by twelve monks enclosed in a shrine, and resting upon .a cushion cmbrol ( 1) 2 DESCENDANTS OF DANIEL MARTIN -1745-1829 teries became so jealous over the possession of the cloak a Count La Rochefoucolt burned it to silence them. St. Martin was buried in the church of St. Germain Auxerre. World War 1 ceased on this kindly saint's day. Some one has given him a sister Concha, who married Calfulnius or Ciprunius, son of Portitus, a Roman, and became the mother of Patrick, Ireland's patron saint. So St. Martin has come naturally to be associated with the kindly things of earth - ua goodly inheritance with which to start out.~ MARTIN de TOURS 1025-1088 nie arrival of the ~1artins in England is recorded with t"facfw de Tours, also known as Martin de Touronibus, a general officer in the army of William the Conqueror and Admiral of the Fleet. The Norman family of Martin probably came from Tor or Tours in the vicinity of Bayeux. His name is entered as Le Seig de S. Martin in the list of the noble captains and gentlemen who assisted Duke William in the conquest of England. He was at the Battle of Hastings, and is on the roll of Battell Abbeie ( Battle Abbey). In commemoration of his victory Duke \'Villiam caused to be erected a stately pile which was named Baltcl Ahbcy. Tho nhbey was dedicated to St. !\fortin. lly tlw din•dlon of tho c-cm SOME OF THE DESCENDANTS OF MARTIN DE TOURS l. Baron Robert Fitz-Martin b. 1080, a person of considerable prominence during the reign of Henry II and Richard I. Married ~1aude Purvell, daughter of Lord :Nottingharn, a captain with ·vviI liam the Conqueror. His successors were soon moved to the King's Council as Barons of Cemaes and continued as Lords of the Eng lish Parliament. 2. Lord William Fitz Martin b. 1125 d. 1209. Son of Robert Fitz Martin. Married Augharad, daughter of Rhys-ap-Griffith ( or Gryfid), Prince of South Wales. They left two sons:- 1. William b. 1160 '\vho seems to have remair1ed iI1 England as head of the family. 2. Oliver b. about 1165 at Dartington House, Devon, Eng land, who was the ancestor of the Ir.sh branch of the family. Sir Oliver was a knight and a crusader, one of those military enthusiasts who strangely mixed religion and romance. He ac companied King Henry II in 1186 in the conquest of Ireland. His descendants were among the famous 13 tribes of Galway, Ireland. In 1193 he accompanied Richard, Coeur de Lion, to the Holy Land and shared his captivity. In Colonial Families of the United States by George Norbury Mackenzie he quotes from the Book of Pedigrees Vol. 10 ( College of Arms, Dublin Castle) that arms were granted to Oliver Martin, Esq. by King Richard in the Holy Land in 1193. Foiiowing Sir Oliver the line is traced through twelve genera tions to Thomas Martin who married Mary, daughter of William Gerrard of Trent. .. They had tl1ree sons, William, Thomas, and John of whom it is said all three came to America. Capt. John Martin, son of the above Thomas lived in York Co. He was bom in 1596 and died in 1673.~ Your compiler does not endorse this statement, she merely quotes it. It is said that all of the Martins of England, Scotland, and Wales are descended from Martin de Tours and that most of the Martins of Virginia and the other southern states are descended from Sir Oliver of Galway, Ireland. The facts in this section are quoted from Virginia Eliza Mc Naughton's James Clark Mansfield and Christopher Clark anc '~ed Families. For those who are interested in tying up the American and English Families, reference is given to Welles American Family Antiquity. It contains an exhaustive study of the descendants of Baron 1-da,.-tin de Tow.-s.. OF LlUIIF.NS COUNTY, SOUTH CAROLINA 5 A FEW OnrER D1sTINGUISHF.D MARTINS OF BmTAIN Capt. John Martin of Biddeford, England sailed around the world with Sir Francis Drake. Some have stated that this was the same Capt. John Martin who was one of the founders of James town. If this is true he must have been a mere boy when he sailed with Drake. Capt. John Martin, one of the founders of Jamestown Colony is stated in Brown's Genesis to have been born in 1560-65. He was a son of Sir Richard Martin b. 1534 d. 1616, goldsmith, master of the mint and twice Lord Mayor of London. He married on or before 1562 Dorcas, daughter of Sir John Ecclestone of Lancashire. Capt. John Martin was t11e first master of the plantat_ion in Virginia known as Martin's Brandon. Fr.om the beginning he took a leading and conspicuous part in the affairs of the colony and threw his lot in with it. The charter for his land gave him !.Orne special privi leges not granted to the other colonists. He wa~ a typical English man in that he was jealous and tenacious of his rights. This caused him some trouble as the other colonists of Jamestown did not like the special privileges granted to him by James I. He lived in Vir ginia longer than any of the other first settlers. It is believed that he died there. Many Americans mistakenly claim descent from him. However his only son, John Martin, Gent. who came over with his father died unmarried in Jamestown about 1607 soon after his arrivai. Richard Martin, Capt. John Martin's brother died in 1618. He also came to America and was one of the corporation who founded Martin's !fon John, son of Abraham the immigrant, was born in 1683-5 in what was then New Kent Co. He is said to have been of King William Co., but King William was not formed until 1702 out of territory that was originally New Kent. He died in 1756. r,farried Letitia ----. They had the following children:- ( 1) Eliza b. 1708 mar. probably George or John Douglas. ( 2) Mary b. April 19, 1709 d. 1780 Mar. Jeremiah White b. 1695 d. 1776. Mary was born in St. Peter's Parish, New Kent. (3) John b. 1710 d. 1787. Twice mar ried. First to Mary -. Second to Ann Farish. ( 4) Susanna b. May 20, 1711 (from St. Peters Parish Records) Mar. probably Benjamin Clark. ( 5) Reb('cca Martin b. Aug. 18, 1712. ( St. Pctn-s Par:.,h Rec ords.) (6) Thomas b. 1714 d. 1792 !\far. first Ann Moonnan, sec ond Susan Ledbetter, third Mary Suddarth. (7) Abraham b. 1716 d. 1773. Mar. Elizabeth Marshall. Living in Edgefield Dist. at time of his death. Now it will be sccn from the above that Abraham Martin who came to Edgl'ficld did not have a brother William 11s stated by Dr. Martin. There was a \Villiam in the preceding generation who might have been the fatl1er of our Laurens Co. William. Ag:iin it is a question of skipping a generation as is so often done in genealogical work. These children of John, the son of Abraham, scattered very widely, but we know that Thomas, the son of John, was living in New Kent Co. in 1751. From the Albemarle Co. \Vill and Deed Book 1, p. 486 we learn that Isaac Bates sold to Thomas Martin of New Kent Co. 400 A. on Ned's Creek on the Fluvanna River, Aug. 18, 1751. In 1764 Thomas Martin settled on the South Fork of Hardware River. His father John Martin had 2cquired bnd o;:i both sides of Hardware River in 1749. We know this Thomas was the son of Jolm, the son of Abraham, the immigrant. Of the sons of · the immigrant, Abraham Maro.n of Galway, Ireland, \Villia."Tl, Jan1es, Samuel, and John we see stron6 evidence through the St. Peters Parish Records that John lived for many years in New Kent. We learn from the same source that a James Martin died there in 1709 and that a William died in the same year. The boundaries of St. Peters Parish at t.li.at time were about the same as those of New Kent Co. It is frnpossible to trace any family originating in New Kent Co. Virginia down to the present time unless family records have been kept through the years as the New Kent records were de stroyed during the War Between the States. But bits can be put 8 DESCENDANTS OF DANIEL MARTIN-1745-1829 together gathered from here and there. This is the best your com piler can do after years of work on this line. EARLY MARTIN RECORDS from the VESTRY BOOK of ST. PETERS PARISH It scC'ms that from time to time certain !Y!<'mh1•r~ of the com• nmnity were appoinlc Qurr RENT Rous OF 1704 ( VmcrNu.) Quit rents were fees paid to the cro,vn yearly by men who received grants from tlie cro,vn. They ,vere levied on the per acre basis. These records are reliable means of checking tl1e location of people of that day. The 1704 list is tlie earliest tax list that tlie writer knows about. The Martins on tlie 1704 list of New Kent are as follows:- Thos. Martin 125 A., Martin Martin 150 A., William Martin 230 A., James Martin 100 A., John Martin 400 A. The writer would like to call your attention to a previous statement made that Thomas and Mary Martin of North Ireland (Galway), descendants of Sir Oliver Martin, had tliree sons, William, Thomas, and John. all of whom came to America. It is possible tliat these three men are among the early settlers of New Kent. It is impossible because of destroyed records to trace William Martin's ( of Laurens Co.) family back through the years to these first Martins of New Kent and St. Peters Parish. But the tax records of New Kent, beginning with 1782 on file in tlie archives of the State of Virginia show William's son, Daniel, residing in lower St Peters Parish. Your compiler has gathered &om the records of the OF LAURENS CouNTY, SoUrII CAROLINA 9 Vestry of St. Peters Parish a logical line of descent for William Martin of Laurens and through him for ou ancestor, Daniel Martin.

Daniel Iv1artin of Laurens County, South Carolina Daniel !viartin was born beiween 1745-50 as he was buying land in Charles City Co. Va. April 4, 1771 From Charles City Co. Order Book 1744-1768 p. 290 we leam that on this date Isham Coley of Charles City Co. and his wifo, Hannah sold to Demiel Mnrlin of New Kent for .9.. 22, lOs. 45 A. in Charles City Co. bordering on !rind of Martin Martin nnd Anrlrew Day. Martin Martin was one of the witnesses. On p. 500 of the same book we learn that on Oct. 8, 1773 Arnhroso Day of Westover Parish sold John Benford land bounded by Edward Finch, Martin Martin, Daniel M:trtln, Georgo lla111ldt. Tho rwnw:; of tlm }1<'opln armm Daniel Martin died in the year 1829, as on Oct. 20, 1829 James S. Rodgers was appointed Administrator. In regard to this appoint ment there is on file .in Box 46, Pkg. 3, Probate Judge's office a papcrj a certified copy of which I have in n1y possession, in which Daniel Martin, Jr., Harbert Martin, and Berry Martin state that they are the only children of Daniel ?-.fartir1, dcc'd. who were :re siding in this district at that time and recommend James Rodgers as a fit and proper person to administer their father's estate. This paper was signed and sworn to by the three sons on Oct. 10, 1829. James S. Rodgers was the brother-in-law of Berry (Asbury) Martin. Daniel Martin left no will, but there are two deeds that are of interest, abstracts of which are given below. "For $1.00 paid by James S. Rodgers" ( the brother of his daughter-in-law, Tabitha Martin, wife of Asbury Martin) '1 grant unto said James S. Rodgers that plantation on which I now live, containing 195 A. south of Greenville Road with the exception of 10 A.----- for the use of my son Little Berry Martin, during his natural life and at his death to go to his children forever, reserving to myself the sole control of this land during my natural life. To the said James S. Rodgers, his heirs and assigns in Trust. Signed Daniel tfartin Sr. Witnesses John Woody, Sr. John Woody, Jr. Chas. Allen. Jan. 9, 1829." Book M. p 102 Laurens Co. Deed. We judge that his wife is dead as there is no mention of her. "For $1.00 paid to me by William Hudgens" (brother of his daughter-in-law, Margaret Hudgens) "I do give unto the said Wil liam Hudgens tract containing 90A. ( describes boundaries) lying on the Greenville Road in trust and for the use of my son Herbert Martin during his natural life and at his death to his children for ever." Retains control during his life. Daniel Martin signs. Same date and witnesses as above. Book M p. 103 Laurens Co. Deeds. Dr. J. 0. Martin gives Daniel, Sr. four sons, Asbury, Herbert, Daniel, Jr. and Dre,v.ry. He does not mention daughters. The 1790 Census of S.C. gives him 3 males over 16, one of whom was Daniel binlself, 4 males under 16 and 4 females, one of whom was probably his wife. So it is evident we do not have a complete record of his children. Some of those over 16 could have been older relatives living with him. We know that he had a son John. Real estate transfers show a John, son of Daniel, buying and selling land around 1802 and 1803. There were a number of John Martins in the cvunty at that time, so it was necessary to distinguish him from the others.

S.C. Regiment commanded by Col. Wil liam Thompson. Date of enlistment July 24, 1776." Vol. 9 p 210. "This book appears to !,ave been copied from ( orig,nal rolls) in the Office of Anny accounts under the payma!;tcr Gcncrnl U.S.A. wJ,o was authorized by Congress July 4, 1783 to settle und finally adjust all accounts whatsoever between the United States and the officers and soldiers of the American army." (Journal of American Congress, Vol. 4 p 237 R. and P. 436, 786. The following was taken from Hcitman's Historical Rcgiste... of the Officers of the Continental Army 1775-1783. '"Thompson, Wil liam (S.C.) Lt. Col. 3rd. S.C. (Rangers) 17th. June, 1775; Col. 16 May 1776. By the Act of 20th. July 1776 it was resolved that the tl1anks of the United Stutes of America be given Col. Thompson and the officers and soldiers under tl1eir command who on the 28L'1. of June last repulsed with so much valor the attack which was made that day on the State of S.C. by the fleet and army of his Britannic Majesty." Whether this Daniel Martin was the same man as our Daniel of New Kent we cannot prove, but there was no other Daniel Martin of this area known to your compiler. In the same regiment were a William Martin, possibly his brother William Wadsworth Martin, a John, a Martin Martin, Ambrose Hudgens, all enlisting on the same day. It is possible that Daniel Martin was in South Carolina temporarily and enlisted for a period and returned to New Kent. In 1782 Daniel Martin was classified as in Class 15 in N(.'W Kent's Military Classes of that year. (Tyler's Quarterly, Vol. 10, p 180) This is just another of the unsolved problems your com piler has met. 14 DESCENDANTS OF DANIEL MARTIN-1745-1829 DANIEL MARTIN, SR.'S (B4) CHILDREN C3 John Martin. Probably the oldest. He was selling his lands in Laurens Co. in the early 1800s. He evidently moved away. No further information. C4 Daniel Martin, Jr. b. 1770-75. Married Mary Cook. 1800 Census puts him in the 26-45 age group. C5 · Asbury Martin b. 1794-1802. 1820 Census says he was be tween 18 and 26 years old.

C. gives her age as 50. The 1860 C. of Marshall Co., Miss. gives her age as 60. Asbury Martin must have been dead by Nov. 28, 1846. On that date James S.

DESCENDAJ\'TS OF GEORGE ASBURY MARTIN ( CS) and HIS WIFE, TABITHA RODGERS MARTIN ( George Asbury was the son of Daniel Martin { B4) and his wife, Mary Saxon) George Asbury Martin, commonly called Berry, was born in S.C. between 1794 and 1802. The 1820 Census says he was between 18 and 26 years old. He was dead before 1850 as his wife is r.amed as the head of the family in the Census of that year. He m=ied Tabitha Rodgers who was the daughter of John L. Rodgers and Sarah Saxon Rodgers. ( See sketch in this voiume). Asbury Mai tin was a successful farmer and was probably from all accounts a "free spenderN. His father, Daniel, took the precaution of leaving 16 DESCENDANTS OF DANIEL MARTIN-1745-1829 his share of the land in trust to Ja.."Iles S. Rodgers, Tabitha's brother. Dr. J. 0. Martin pays quite a tribute to Asbury's wife, Aunt Tabbie. He says of her-"She was a most lovable woman. She was always cheerful. TI1ose who knew her best, loved her most. Her pleasant, cheerful mn.nncr lL.!gers ill my n1etnory. She left her foot prints on the sands of time." Asbury Martin died between 1840 and 1850, a few years before his children went west to Mississippi and some of the~ eventually to Arkansas. Your compiler has sought in vain for tl1e descendants of these children in tl1ese two states. Mr. Leon S. Hollingsworth, an excellent genealogist of Decatur, Ga. in his search for the descendants of the Saxon and Rodgers families joined in this search. In tl1e Lawrenceville Herald of Feb.· 1, 1856 there is adver tised a bill for the partition of Asbury Martin's estate. Tabitha Martin ct al vs. Edmund R. Martin and Leander H. Martin, Wil liam L. Martin and Jamcs T. ( probably intended for an S.) Rodgers, trustees, who reside beyond the limits of the state are ordered to appear in court 25th. of April ne;,,.t. Willia..'11 L. Martin, Tabitha's son, and James S. Rodgers, her brother were both living in Mar shall Co. Miss. near Byhalia at this tin1e. Everything was settled amicably we presume as Tabiilia was living in 1860 in the house hold of her son William L. Martin when the Census of tliat year was taken. The children of Ceorge and Tabitha were:- D7 Willia_111 L. ?\,fa..-rtin in ~1arshall Co., lvfiss. in 1860 Census. His age was given as 30 yrs. His wife, Frances as 23. His children at that time were given as (Ell) Willis, 4 yrs. ( El2) Florence, 3 yrs. ( E13) Estelle, 1 yr. D8 Harrison Martin. Went west with brotliers. No further in formation. D9 James Martin. In Marshall Co., Miss. in 1860 Census. Aged 24 at time. Living in home of brother, William. Old letters in the possession of Rodgers relatives in Arkansas, and tlie diary of his aunt, Emily Ware Rodgers, (Mrs. James S. Rodgers) in the possession of her descendants in Arkansas indicate that James and his mother often visited tlicse rela tives in Arkansas and he may have removed tliere. D10 Edmund.

ALLIED F A...MILIES Ancestry of ~1argaret Hudgens, Wife of I-Icrbert Martin (C6) The Hudgens family of Laurens County came to South Caro lina probably from New Kent Co., Va. or that vicinity. It was from this area that the Martins, Saxons, Bacons, Allens, Barksclalcs came originally. There arc Hudgens there to-day. The descendants of this family in Laurens claim that Ambrose Hudgens born in Va. about 1762, who came to S.C. about 1778 or 1779 was the first of the name to settle in Laurens Co. However, your compiler finds on file in the State Archives in Columbia that one Ambrose Hudgens had a grant of 100 A. July 7, 1772 from Lt. Gov. Moultrie on the Turkey Creek waters of Sava1:mah River. This cannot be the same Ambrose as the one who settled in Laurens as the latter was only ten years old at the time. We also find that one William Hudgens received a grant of 300 / Jan. 6, 1767 from Gov. Montague on the Little River waters of Saluda River in what is now Laurens Co. There are ecrly hnd transactions in Laurens . Co. under the name of V\Tilliam Hudgens before Ambrose Hudgens' son \Villiam was old enough to be con cerned with land sales. It would appear that this William Hudgens was the brother or father of Ambrose Hudgens who is generally consid~red tI1e founder of t..~e f~mi!y i."'1 Laurens. Ambrose Hudgens, born in Virginia ::>bout 1762, is first men tioned in the Laurens records as selling 100 A on Little Rive, in 1784. He was married Oct. 2, 1783 to Elizabeth Joanna, or Joanna Elizabeth Henderson. The Hendersons lived in what is now the town of Laurens on the site of the old Ford Todd place on Todd Ave. It is thought that Ambrose Hudgens was probably a land dealer because of the large number of deeds recorded in his name. He was a soldier in the n,wolutionary War a.nd filed a claim for a pension ln 1820, claim No. S18H88. He enlisted in Cupt. Wil liam Milwce's Co. Col. \Villiam TI1ompson's Rcgt. He wus placed on Pension Roll for service as a Sgt. in Gen. \Villiams ( or William son's) Expedition against the Georgia Indians. He also took part in the seige of Ninety-Six and in t."1e Battle of Eutaw Springs. Ambrose Hudgens is buried in Chestnut Ridge Cemetery. His tombstone says he died Jur:.e 30, 1844, about 82 years of age. His 74 DESCENDANTS OF DANIEL MARTIN-1745-1829 wife, Elizabeth, buried in the same cemetery, died July 3, 1833, about 70 years of age. My sources of information concerning the children of Ambrose Hudgens and his wife, Elizabeth, Mrs. Emma Hudgens Roper and Mr. L. A. Green differ slightly in names and dates, but I shall summarize from data furnished by both. 1. Sarah Hu Cmr.oREN OF JoHN RODGERS, REFERRED TO IN nm LAURENS RECORDS . AS Sn. AND EsQ.

There is no money entering the transaction. Looks like a family gift. John Francis Wolff married some one else later. This could have been a second marriage. 4. Andrew Rodgers married Susannah Martin. There were four or five Andrew Rodgers in Laurens Co. at this time. The Equity Court records of Laurens Co. Mar. 20, 1800 mentions Andrew Rodgers, son of John. John, Sr. seems to have given him the same amount of land that he gave John Jr. Laurens Co.

Your humble servant William Martin Certified by John Rodgers, J.P. Folder 4816. John McNees or McNeese John McNeesc, the father of Margaret McNcese Rodgers, was a ,nember of the famous old Cub Creek Settlement founded by John Caldwell which we have already referred to. John MeNeese came as did the others from Pennsylvania but it is not known whether he came with them or whether he followed the group by a few years. The first reference your compiler found in Lunen burg Co. wiL~ 1717. Tlwrc are u ~rcat many land transactions in his na1110. lfo ac·quin·d J:300 A. nt 01u1 ti1110 on Turnip Crc,·k now in Charlotte Co., Va. Ile frequently witnessed deeds and wills with the Caldwclls and Rodg,~rs. One deed states that his land cornered on William Rodgers land". This was the William Rodgers whose son his Martin was probably the wife of Shadrach Martin who came to Laurens Co. from Charlotte Co. Va. about the time John McNeese came, and was a witness for John McNeese on one occasion in Charlotte. The son, Robert was the ancestor of Dr. David Ban croft Johnson, founder of Winthrop College, through Robert's daughter Sabra who married as her second husband a White. They were the parents of Dr. Johnson's mother, Margaret White. Controversy Concerning Rodgers-Caldw·ell-Daugherty Marriages A great many statements have been made concerning the Rodgers family that cannot be substantiated. The first of these is that the William Rodgers who died in Lunenburg Co. Va. in 1750 was the son of William Rogers of Annapolis, Md. who died July 29, 1749. William, the son of William Rogers of Annapolis, was livin!Z after W,Jliam Rodgers of Lunenhmg was ck:,d. Tho of ficial rcmrds prove this. Tlic people who make this claim also state that William Roger:; of Annapolis murric-d Mary Caldwell, the sister of John Caldwell of Cub Creek. Yonr compiler has made a care ful study of thi.i qu,,stion ln tho Murylun JOIIN CALDWELL'S ANCESTRY (Taken from the records of the Ann Pamela Cunningham Chapter D.A.R.

Ann Stewart. It is generally accepted that three of the above sisters, Eliza beth, Jane, and Catherine came with John Caldwell to New Castle, Del. as well as Thos. Daugherty who married a Phillips, his wife's sister. In a letter from David Caldwell of Kentucky to Elias B. Caldwell of Washington, D.C. written from Mercer, Ky. Dec. 16, 1807 he says that John Caldwell brought to America four single sisters. But after wide reading on the subject it is your compiler's conclusion and thr.~ of othc-rs that the fourth sister, Margaret came with Andrew Caldwell in 1718. He settled on 285 A. of lnnd for which he obtained 11 warrant and which lies on the old Philadelphi11 Road between Leacock and Salisbury. The Penna. records show that long before the \Var for Inde pendence members of the Rodgers family from Derry Co. Ireland had settled in l!G.nover Tcvvnshlp. There ,vas a Thonias RoJgers who left a will in Chester Co. ( Lancaster was cut off from Ches ter) in 1745 who had a son William. There was a William Rodgers there who had a son William and Andrew. It cannot be proved, but it is believed that Margaret Caldwell, the sister of John, mar ried one of these Rodgers and was the mother of these three, ~,edg ers who settled with the Caldwells on Cub Creek in Charlotte Co. Va. To understand more fully the controversy over these Rodgers Caldwell marriages I must give you the names of John Caldwell's children. 1. William 1704-1760 m. Rebecca Parks. Grandparents of John C. Calhoun. 2. Thomas 170&-1770. M. Mary Jane Phillips 3. David 1708-1769. M. Mary Dudgeon 4. Margaret 1712-1791 M.

The William Rodgers above who married Margaret Caldwell does not mention the names of his children in his will, but the settlement of his estate deeds land to only two, John and Andrew. We are concerned here with. the son John and his wife Margaret. We claim that he married Margaret McNeese and moved to South Carolina, while some of the Rogers of Kentucky claim that he married Margaret Ann Daugherty and moved to Kentucky in 1781. In answer to these claims we offer the following facts:- 1. We know that Joh.'1 Rodgers, son of William ,as selling his lands in Charlotte Co. Va. in 1768 and 1770, and a few months later in 1770 John Rodgers with wife, Margaret was buying land in what is now Laurens Co. S.C. After this time there is no record in Charlotte Co. Va. of John Rodgers with wife, Margaret. One must remember that there were several young men by the n.:ime of John Rodr,crs in Charlotte and Lunenburg Cos. at lhls time. ( Seo $Cction on Rodgers fom!ly in this volume.) 2. Tho early writers on !'le Rogers family of Ky. arc very much confused concerning tho first n:m10 of the wifo of the John Rogers who went to Ky. in 1781, for instance:- ( a) The Clay Family by Mary Rnecrs Clay says W. J. Reid m::.rricd f.,f~u. 6 ,ui..:t Ru0n:,1 daughter of John and Sarah Daugherty Roters of Lunenburg Co. Va. (b) From tlie Career of Felix .Grundy by Orval Baylor, Vol. 16, Filson Club History Quarterly 1942 pp 104-105, 117. "Felix Grundy married Ann Phillips Rodgers dau. of John and Sarah Daugherty Rodgers of Ky." The John who went to Ky. had a daughter Ann. She got the Phillips name from her Daugherty an cestry. (c) A paper on Felix Grundy, U.S. Senator from Tenn. by his grand daughter Ann Grundy Ea.ldn Steger read at the Ten:a. Woman's Historical Ass'n. Nashville, Teim. Mar. 1911 ( Ms. in Tenn. State Library) says her great grandfather John Rodgers married Sarah Daugherty. (d) From Colonial Men and Times by Mrs. Lillie Dupuy Van Culin (Harper, Pub. 1916). She says tliat the John Rodgers who went to Ky. married Ann Daugherty. It was the concensus of the Kentucky group at this time that the John Rodgers who went to Kentucky married Sarah or Ann Daugherty. Then it would appear likely that some one did research in the Charlotte Co. records and found that William Rodgers son, John, married a girl named Margaret. Since they claimed descent from this John they concluded that their ancestress was Margaret Ann Daugherty, but to the modern researcher this has the earmark of after thought. Charles Saxon Father of Sarah (Sally) Saxon, who married John L. Rodgers. The authorities who have studied the Saxon f=ily seem to agree that three brothers, Samuel, William and Robert c:une to America soon after 1700 and settled in what is now New Kent Co. Va., the sa...rne county L.~ \vhich Daniel J,.,fartin's forbears were. Dan iel is said to have married a Saxon who, no doubt, was a de scendant of one of these men. The authorities disagree about the English home of these men. One writer says Hampshire. Another says "the church records of the Saxon family during the 16th. and 17th. centuries are listed in the ancient parish register of Rockdale Co. of Lancaster." Sa:a-mel, Robert, and William came to New Kent Co. Va. between 1702 and 1722. We have official records of V\Tilliam and Samuel in the western part of New Kent Co. during these early years from the Vcstiy Book of St. Paul's Parish ( 1) p 220 "Pursuant to an order of the vestry of St. Paul's Parish in New Kent, Sept. 17, 1711 the lands were processioned in the presence of William Saxon. ( 2) p 256 Vestry Sept. 10, 1719 William Saxon and Samuel Saxon are listed as free holders. St. Paul's Parish became a part of Hanover Co. in 1720 when Hanover was formed from that part of New Kent. Your compiler knows very little of what became of \Villimn and Robert. There is evidence from D.A.R. Lineage books that William eventually came to S.C. Robert married Judith Graves in New Kent. It is possible that he is the Robert Saxton who was buy ing land in the Cub Creek settlement of what was then Lunenburg Co. Va. in 1759. (Deed Book 5 p 414) Other historians say that he came to S.C. Your compiler has no proof of this. Samuel Saxon, with wife Mary, settled, exactly when we do not know, in Edgecombe Co. N.C . .in that part now know-n as Hali fax. He was a planter and highly respected citizen of Halifax Co. His will dated Feb. 7, 1766 and probated July court, 1766 is on file in Halifax Will Book B 1761-66. From his will and that of his son-in-law William Green of Halifax Co. we know that his chil dren were as follows:- !. Archelus died unmarried. Will in Halifax Co. 2. Benjamin mar. Sarah Green about 17'S/ 3.Bethiahmar. (!)-:Mills (2) Hugh Hardy 4. Charles mar. Judith 92 llisCENDANTS OF DANIEL MARTIN-1745-1829 5. Samuel, Jr. 6. John, to whom he left most of his land. Unmarried at the time of his father's will. Charles, the only one of the above children whom we shn 11 follow, was probably married first in Virginia to a Miss Lewis. While in Halifax Co. and later in S.C. his wife was named Judith. What her last name was we do not know. We know that he was a landowner in Halifax. He then moved into what is now Orange Co. and lived near Fayetteville. While living there he became interested in the patriotic move ment knovm as Regulation. Orange Co. at that time was on the western frontier with Hillsboro as its county seat. The state capital was on the coast at New Bern. The inhabitants of the western frontier had many grievances. Their quit rents were twice as high as in the eastern part of the state. A tract of land was granted two or three times with high litigation fees resulting. About 1763 Orange citizens became the leaders in the East-West controversy. There were basic differences between Orange and the counties of the east which promoted sectional rivalry and conflict Orange was settled by the Scotch-Irish, Germans, and Welsh. Its religious outlook was non-Anglican, while the e:1st was loyal to the Anglican church. The major cause of sectional rivalry was political and cen tered around the domination of the provincial government by the eastern planter ~-:.iStocracy. tvio~l of the western counties had two representatives but the older counties had five each. At the same time Orange Co. had half as many total taxables as all five of the eastern counties. The east had complete control of the other branches of the government-all justices, sheriffs, civil officers were appointed by the governor. Many were not natives of the counties they served in. Many offices were bought. By 1765 there was general unrest. In 1786 a paper was circu lated at Hillsboro calling for resistance. Officers would not attend meetings where they were asked to explain these things. 1769 marked the formal organization of the Regulators. After some violence the Regulators were ordered to disperse. The legislature passed laws to correct some of the evils, but the situation did not improve. False improvement, seizure of groups from people's houses followed. Rumors began to fly that Gov. Tryon was raising the militia to suppress the Regulators. He did call out the militia and marched on Hillsboro for the Sept. Court 1768. This angered OF LAURENS CoUNTY, Sou-rn CAROLINA 93 the Regulators. Gov. Tryon issued a proclamation pardoning those involved in the late insurrection except 12 or 13 leaders. Regulators continued their agitations for reform. The organiza tion was gaining new recruits a...r1d spreading out irito new areas. Most dramatic incidents were the Hillsboro riots of Sept. 24 and 25, 1770. Despairing of obtaining justice the Regulators took over the county and chased some of the officials through the streets. Jan. 5, 1771 the Assembly passed the Johnsto:i Riot Act which pro vided the rioters could be tried in any county even though the riots did not occur in that county and authorized the Governor to suppress the Regulators by military force. Regulator's reaction to the Johnston Act was swift and defiant. The org;mization in creased in number. They promised to pay no more taxes, for bade any sessions of court and threatened to kill all 1a.,,_,yers and judges. Gov. Tryon called court at Hillsboro for March 1771 and called out the militia to protect the court. He marched from New Bern to Hillsboro and encamped on great Alamance Creek a few miles from Hillsboro. He was met by a force of 2000 Regulators. A two hour battle followed in which the Regulators were defeated and scattered. Twelve Rcgul:itors were tried and convicted. Six were hanged, the rest pardoned. Many Regulators left the prov ince. (These facts, taken frorn Orange Ce. and the \Var of the Regulation.) Among the Regulators who left the province was Charles Sax on. We hear of l:.im nexi: when he is buying land on Bush Creek, a branch of Saluda River, 200 A. from James Young, Dec. 8, 1773. Laurens Co. Deed Book A. Proof that Charles Saxon was one of these Regulator patriots is found in the Colonial records of North Carolina Vol. Vll pp. 810-811. On Aug. 19, 1768 the insurgents assembled at Hillsboro issued a petition to Gov. Tryon. Charles Saxon is one of the signers of the petition. Charles Saxon fought in the Revolution.

His wife had evidently prede ceased hh-n as she is not mentioned in the will. In his will on file in Laurens he mentions the following:- !. Polly Anderson ( dau.) widow of George Anderson, dec'd.

Book B. p 376 - Charles Saxon and his wife Judith sell to their son Samuel 200 A. on 23 Mile Creek. Samuel probably died before his father. He was a member of the Convention which ratified the Constitution of the United States, which met on :llfay 23, 1788. On page 21 of the Journal of the Convention of S.C. is recorded the vote of the delegation from Little Riv1or District. These delegates were John Hunter, Samuel Saxon, Thomas Wadsworth, Joshua Saxon. This Joshua Saxon must have been the son of Charles, Sr.'s brother Robert, who is said to have lived in S.C. for a time. Your compiler has no official record of this, how ever. Charles Saxon's son Lewis Saxon achieved distinction in the Revolutionary War. From Barksdale's Barksdale Family p 476- 477 - "Capt. Lewis Saxon b. Dec. 10, 1765 in Ninety-Sax Dist. In 1778 and 79 he served as a private under Col. James Williams and Robert McCrary for three months in each term of service. In 1780 he volunteered for more service and again served as a private until 1781 when he was appointed as a captain in which rank he served until the close of the Revolution. He was actually engaged at Stano, Cowpens, Ninety-Sax and Eutaw Sprir.gs and in ma..,y other minor engagements and skirmishes. Capt. Le'l'.-is was a first cousin of Bethiah, the wife of Wm.
