PREFACE

•In attempting to compile a correct genealogy of these families, much time and effort has been expended and a careful study made of records in Virginia, North and South Carolina and Alabama. Much research has been done in the National Archives and D.A.R. Library of Washington, D.C., aside from a tremendous correspondence with authorities from Massachusetts to Texas. THE REAL PURPOSE OF THIS WORK is the PRESERVATION OF FAMILY RECORDS for our very young generation and those boys and girls who shall come after them. Lineage charts have been prepared of the Revolutionary Lines in order that the unskilled in genealogical research may readily discern the line from which they are descended. I should like to express my gratitude and appreciation to those who have given me much assistance in the compilation of this work. First, the late Major James Fair Hardin of Shreveport, Louisiana, has left to me much data on ROACH, ROBERTS, and FAIR families from which he had anticipated compiling a family genealogy; Mrs. Leonora Higginbotham Sweeny (Mrs. William M.) of New York City; Mrs. S. A. Fortson of Augusta, Georgia; Mrs. Edythe R. Whitley of Nashville, Tenn.; Mrs. Lucille Mathews Herndon of Ozark, Ala­ bama; Mrs. Katie Printz Esker of Washington, D. C.; Mrs. Ida Cato Lankford of Emporia, Virginia; Miss Ann Chamberlain of William and Mary College, Williamsburg, Virginia; Mrs. B. W. Gandrud, Tuscaloosa, Alabama; Mrs. Elizabeth Mathison, Jackson, Mississippi; Mr. Paul J. Ridgway, Jr., of Toccoa, Georgia; Mr. George C. Ayde­ lott, RCA Bldg., Rockefeller Center, New York City; Mr. Wm. M. Spencer of Birmingham, Alabama, and Mr. George Leland Summer of Newberry, South Carolina. Thanks to numerous others who have given valued assistance.

6 ROACH FAMILY

THE ROACH FAMILY IS OF ANCIENT ORIGIN, emigrating to the Colonies from the British Isles, especially England and Ireland at a very early date in history. We find many of this family in Dela­ ware, Virginia and South Carolina. We are especially interested in the ROACH FAMILY of South Carolina. The following record has been photostated in the office of Secretary of State, Columbia, South Carolina. "South Carolina- George the Second by the Grace of God, of Great Britain, France and Ireland, KING, Defender of the Faith, etc. To all to whom THESE PRESENTS shall come Greeting: Know Ye, That We of our special Grace, certain Knowledge and mere Motion, have given and granted and by these Presents, for us our heirs and successors, DO GIVE AND GRANT unto MR. JOHN JACOB ROACH, his heirs and assigns, a tract of land containing two hundred and twenty seven acres within the Township of Purisburgh in Granvil County butting and bounding to the West on Robert W. William's Land, to the South on the lands of David and Francis Morgin's and Abraham Donatts, to the East of David Roberts land and to the North on Jacob Pritchard's land. Recorded two hundred and twenty-seven acres of land, 1739. John Jacob Roach. Given under the Great Seal of our Said Province WITNESS William Bull Esq., Lieut.

Signed by the Honble. the Lieut. ALEX. CRAMAHE, C.C. And hath hereunto a plat thereof annexed, representing the same Certified by James St. John Esq. Surveyor-General the 17th December 1738." "South Carolina: Pursuant to a precept to me directed by John Troup Esq. and dated 4th day of February 1767, I have laid out unto JOHN ROACH, a plantation or tract of land of two hundred and fifty acres, situate in Craven County, in fork of Santee: on a road leading to John Mc­ Cord's Ferry: Bounded S.E. on John Simons and N.E. part on Samuel Kelley's land, part on John Betton's and Bryant Fowling, N.W. va­ cant, S.W. part on John Thomas and John Hughes and part vacant. And hath such shape form and marks as appears in the above plat. Given under my hand for 14th March 1767. GEORGE STROTHER, D.S." 7 While we have no direct proof that this John Roach who obtained land grant in Fork of Santee River in 1767 is the father of JOHN ROACH THE REVOLUTIONARY ANCESTOR OF THE FOLLOW­ ING ROACH LINE, yet it is most probable that this is the case as WE FIRST FIND JOHN ROACH enlisted in October 1776 in the 1st Regiment, South Carolina Line, Continental Establishmep.t, and December 1776 was appointed a Sergeant. He served under CHARLES COTESWORTH PINCKNEY of South Carolina, who was Captain 1st S.C. Regiment 17th June 1775; Col. 16th September 1776 etc. A photostat of the Revolutionary Service of this John Roach was obtained from State Historian, Mr. A. S. Salley of South Carolina. The original record of this service is in the National Archives in Washington D. C. and has been seen by the writer. "South Carolina. Comptrollers General Office There are in this office 79 volumes containing indents and entries for services performed by the officers and soldiers principally en­ gaged in the militia during the war, etc." Above copied by Marielou Roach Fair, October 14, 1947 from Volume 9, War of the Revolution, South Carolina, pages 267-268. National Archives, Washington, D. C." Mr. Salley writes: "We find that John Roach enlisted in October 1776 in the 1st Regiment, South Carolina Line, Continental Establish­ ment and in December 1776 was appointed a Sergeant. The Continental Regiments were under the direction of the Conti­ nental Congress, and the muster rolls were kept by the National War Department. We have photostats of them and we work from them. Yours very truly, A. S. SALLEY" State Historian. In the South Carollna Historical and Genealogical Magazine we find: Volume 16, page 167, PARISH REGISTER OF ST. JAMES' SANTEE 207: JOHN ROACH OF THE PARISH OF ST. JAMES' SANTEE; Bachelor, and DEBORAH HOWARD of the Parish of Prince George, Widow, were married in the Dwelling house of Thomas~Martin Sanders of the Parish of Prince George, by Licence, this Twenty­ First day of July Anno Domini, 1785, by me S.

John was overseer. 8 The 1790 census of South Carolina shows other children of John Roach and Deborah Howard but due to the death of Reverend Samuel Fenner Warren, Episcopal Minister, about 1789, who kept the record of marriage and family record of births of John Roach and Deborah, his wife, a further record of this early ROACH FAMILY is not available. Deborah evidently had two children when she married July 21, 1785. JOHN ROACH OF ST. JAMES SANTEE was the only JOHN ROACH IN SOUTH CAROLINA IN 1790 U. S. Census. JOHN DANIEL ROACH, the above named son, married Eliza­ beth Cato, born January 9, 1789, about 1810, and twins, John Jared Roach and Thomas Samuel Roach were born to them in 1811 in South Carolina. See 1850 U. S. Census of Monroe County, Alabama for families of both. WILL OF JOHN DANIEL ROACH In the name of God, Amen, I JOHN D.

ROACH (twin of John Jared Roach) born 1811 in South Carolina married 1st, Henrietta Hill, sister of Martha Fluker Hill; married 2nd, Miss· Ellen Murphy, June 11, 1841, Clarke County, Ala., (Book B., page 64, Clarke County, Alabama, marriage records. Ceremony performed by Thomas S. Witherspoon, V.D.M.) Miss Ellen Murphy was the daughter of John Murphy, lawyer, planter, fourth Governor of Alabama, representative in U. S. Con­ gress, and his first wife Susannah Richardson Hails, daughter of Robert Hails, Revolutionary soldier of Columbia, South Carolina, and his first wife Susannah Richardson of South Carolina. Governor Murphy was born in 1785 in Robeson County, North Carolina and died September 21, 1841 at his plantation in Clarke County, Alabama. Susannah Richardson, the first wife of Robert Hails was a daughter of Governor John Richardson of South Carolina. Susanna Richard­ son Hails Murphy, the first wife of Governor John Murphy was born 1788 and died in 1816. Governor Murphy and Miss Hails were mar­ ried in 1808. Revolutionary Service of Robert Hails of South Carolina "Robert Hails (1754-1816) raised a Company at his own expense and fought the enemy in the swamps of the Santee River. He is buried on his plantation on the Santee, and the home he built in Columbia, South Carolina is still standing." Governor Murphy was the son of Neil Murphy who came with his brother Murdock Murphy from Scotland. His mother was a Miss Downing, and he was a brother of Rev. Murdock Murphy, the first pastor of the Government Street Presbyterian church at Mobile. The family moved to South Carolina when Governor Murphy was a child; and he acquired his education there. By teaching school, he gained the means to attend college, and entered South Carolina College in the class with John Gayle, later Governor of Alabama, and James Dellet, who carried off the first honor in scholarship over Governor Murphy, and who, years later 11 defeated him a:; a candidate for Congress. He was graduated in 1808, and while studying law that same year was elected clerk of the South Carolina Senate. He held that position for ten years, and during that time was also a trustee of the University of South Carolina, 1809-1818. He moved to Alabama in 1818, located in Monroe County, and was admitted to the bar there. He never prac­ ticed law, resigned from the bar soon after, and gave his whole attention to planting. He represented Monroe County in the Con­ vention which framed the State Constitution in 1819; was elected to the State Legislature in 1820; and to the State senate in 1822. He was elected governor of Alabama in 1825 with a plurality of twelve thousand five hundred votes, and was re-elected in 1827 without opposition. During his administration the State Capital was moved from Cahaba to Tuscaloosa. After the expiration of his term, Governor Murphy retired to his plantation for a short time, but in 1828 returned to public life, and became a Union Candidate for Congress. He was defeated for the twenty-first and twenty-second Congresses by Dixon H. Lewis, and was elected to the twenty-third Congress in 1833, defeating Judge James Dellet of Claiborne. In 1839, he again was a candidate, but was defeated that time by Judge Dellet. That was his last appearance in public life. He retired to his plantation in Clarke County, and lived there for the rest of his life. Married 1st to Sarah (some authorities give Susannah) Hails, of South Carolina, daughter of Robert Hails of that state: 2nd to Mrs. Carter, a sister of Col. John Darrington, of Clarke County. John Murphy's picture hangs in the Capitol building in Montgomery as one of the first governors of Alabama. (Much of the above data is taken from "History of Alabama and Dictionary of Alabama Bi­ ography" by Thomas M. Owen, Volume 4, page 1262. Other part from private records. Thomas S. Roach is buried in the old cemetery at Mansfield, Louisiana. The exact date of his death is not recorded, though the . writer remembers him when living. 3. Sarah Samuel Roach married Samuel Rawls in Dallas County, Alabama. She was born 1816 in Charleston District, South Carolina, and is buried in the old Cemetery of Mansfield, Louisiana. Her tomb­ stone inscription is as follows: Mrs. Sarah Crosby, Born Charleston, South Carolina 1816. Died Mansfield, December 23, 1907. She and Samuel Rawls were living in DeSoto Parish in the 1860 U. S. Census. After Mr. Rawls death, Mrs. Sarah Rawls married Mr. William Crosby of this Parish. Here she lived for many years and was much beloved by the residents of Mansfield and DeSoto Parish until her death in 1907. 4. Elmira Roach married William Gilbert McKinnie of Dallas County, Alabama and moved to DeSoto Parish, Louisiana in 1849. Mr. McKinnie was living on January 8, 1850, when he was a witness to the marriage of Dr. Alfred Virgil Roberts and Lucinda J. Quarles of this parish. By the 1850 U.S. Census of that same year, Mr. Mc­ Kinnie was deceased and she is recorded with her children and not her husband. After this, Mrs. Elmira Roach McKinnie married Mr. J. M. N. Arrington. William Gilbert McKinnie owned much prop- 12 erty in DeSoto Parish and Mansfield, Louisiana and the settlement of his estate is recorded in the Mansfield Courthouse. Elmira Roach was born in 1820 in Monroe County, Alabama, the daughter of John Daniel Roach and his wife Elizabeth Cato. 5. Martha A. Roach married James S. Williamson, September 21, 1837. Security J.

The writer has tract records of all Roach land on record in Montgomery, Ala­ bama, and has also visited the Department of Interior in National Archives, Washington, D. C., where copies of some of these first transactions were obtained by her. They are as follows: No. 5866 Received from John D. Roach of Monroe County Alabama Terri­ tory the sum of Eighty dollars and 31¾ cents which is in full for the first installment of the purchase money for S.W. ¾ of Section No. 23, in Township No. 7, Range No. 7, containing 100-62½ /100 acres at $80.31¾.

Township No. 7, Range 7 -which half section contains 320 and 90 /100 acres at the rate of $2.00 per acre for 641 and 8 /100. Paid 160 and 45 /100. Completed March 29, 1825. Last payment 5th May 1823. ALEX POPE, Register Land Office. Certificate No. 14090. It is hereby "certified" that JOHN D. ROACH of Monroe County, did on the 5th day of May 1819 purchase N.E. ¾ of Section 28, Township 7, Range 7, in the district of lands offered for sale at Cahaba- quarter section 160 acres and 30/100 was sold to said John D. Roach at the rate of $2.00 per acre. 320 and 60 /100. Now therefore be it known that Lewis Carnelene of Monroe County, assignee has surrendered the original first Certificate No. 4724 and granted to said John D. Roach and has filed a Declaration No. 1714 dated the 11th day of September 1821 requesting further credit. ALEX POPE, Register Land Office. Other certificates were copied which were records of his land purchases from time to time. A land map of this county has been secured and this land plotted. It was indeed interesting to see these original certificates of one's forefather. This acreage in Monroe County, Alabama lies due west and south-west of Monroeville, and in 1948 was owned by the present tax assessor. The old Family Cemetery situated on this land was under good fence and well kept. The oldest graves were marked by rocks. This was an ancient custom. For more than one hundred years the ravages of time have not worn them away. Ancient oaks and house sites were evidence of the Roach and Cato homes. Another family which sought shelter in Monroe and Wilcox Counties, Alabama was that of Robert Hill and Lucy Wilkinson 15 Fluker, daughter of William Fluker (a Revolutionary Soldier) and his wife Patsy Wilkinson, who according to tradition were brutally massacred by the Indians near Milledgeville, Georgia, while Lucy was safe within Fort Wilkinson. Lucy being left an infant, grew up under Wilkinson care and married Robert Hill in 1810. Robert and Lucy Hill moved to Monroe County, Alabama shortly after 1820. The 1820 U. S. Census of Baldwin County, Georgia gives 2 males and 1 female, (as children), therefore two daughters were born in Alabama. The three daughters of Robert Hill and Lucy Wilkinson Fluker were as follows: 1. Missouri Hill, born 1820 in Alabama, married Robert Neal Murphy (born 1810 South Carolina and son of Governor John Murphy of Alabama). 2. Martha Fluker Hill married John Jared Roach (grandfather of Percy Caldwell Fair). 3. Henrietta Hill who was first wife of Thomas Samuel Roach, twin brother of John Jared Roach. (Note John Jared Roach and Thomas Samuel Roach were sons of John Daniel Roach and his wife Elizabeth Cato). Robert Hill died and Lucy Wilkinson Hill married George W. Frye, who was born in Freeburg, Maine, December 19, 1777, and died in Monroe County, Alabama, May 30, 1836 (Tombstone Record). Lucy Wilkinson Hill Frye lies buried by his side in a lonely 'Frye Family cemetery, Monroe County, Alabama. The inscription on her tombstone is as follows: "Born in Georgia Died September 4, 1853." The father of Robert Hill is not definitely known but he is most certainly a descendant of Virginia and North Carolina HiHs, many of whom moved to Georgia and Alabama in the late eighteenth or early nineteenth centuries. The mother of Percy Caldwell Fair was named Missouri Murphy Roach (Minnie) after her mother's sister Missouri Hill Murphy. The 1850 U. S. Census of Monroe County, Alabama which was taken October 15, 1850 is as follows: No. 321-321 Where Name Age Sex Occupation Born Robert N. Murphy 40 male Physician s.c. Missouria 30 female Ala.

Later members of this family moved to HALIFAX COUNTY, North Carolina including Barnabas McKinnie and his sister, Miss Mary McKinnie, who became the second wife of Colonel Nicholas Long, Quarter Master General in that section of North Carolina during the Revolution. Miss Mary McKinnie was a woman of cul­ ture and education and very prominent in the Colony of North Carolina. Other members of the McKinnie Family, Viz. William McKinnie fought in the Revolution. Members of this family removed to South Carolina where James McKinnie of DeSoto Parish, in 1850 Census, was born. In 1840 we find the family of W. T. McKinney, he seemingly deceased, John McKinnie and James McKinnie in Dallas County, Alabama, where William Gilbert McKinnie, married Elmira A. Roach, the daughter of John Daniel Roach and sister of Douglas Randolph Roach. Wil­ liam Gilbert McKinnie moved to DeSoto Parish, Louisiana by March, 1849 and was deceased by 1850 U. S. Census in this Parish. Elmira A. McKinnie then married J. M. N. Arrington. The Succession of William Gilbert McKinnie is in the Court Records of Mansfield, DeSoto Parish, Louisiana. ISLE OF WIGHT COUNTY, VIRGINIA Wm. and Mary Quarterly, 1st Series, Volume 27. MICHAEL MAcQUINNEY (also written McKinnie) was the first of his name in America, of whom we know. He lived in Isle of Wight County, Virginia, where his will dated April 15, 1686 was recorded August 9, 1686. His will shows that he left land to his eldest son John (2) and a life interest in his home and surrounding land (450 acres) to his wife, Elizabeth, with reversion to his "Young son Barnaby". Michael Macquinney and his wife Elizabeth had two children: I. John (2) Macquinney. II. Barnaby Macquinney (McKinnie) who married Mary (2) daughter of Jeremiah and Ann Exum. Barnaby (2) McKinnie, son of Michael was born in Isle of Wight County, Virginia. He inherited land in that County from his father, Michael Mackquinney. The will of Michael Mackquinney was dated April 15th, 1686 (Isle of Wight), Deed Book 2, Page 254. Barnaby (2) McKinnie received the following land grants in Isle of Wight County as shown by the records in the office of the register of the Land Office, Richmond, Virginia. 3455 Acres for transporting 69 persons, Deed book 10, page 222, A.D.1714. 545 acres for transporting 11 persons, Deed book 10, page 201, A.D. 1714. 490 acres for transporting 10 persons, Book 10, page 147, A.D. 1714. 308 acres for transporting 6 persons, Book 9, page 1472, A.D. 1702. 17 670 acres for transporting 13 persons, Book 10, page 130, A.D. 1714. Barnaby McKinnie (2) also acquired much land by purchase. Barnaby McKinnie married the widow of Jacob Ricks and the daughter of Judge Jeremiah and Ann Exum. Mary (2) Exum Ricks McKinnie is mentioned in wills of both parents. Barnaby (2) McKinnie, gentleman, and Mary his wife, executed 55 deeds when they sold their Virginia estate and moved to North Carolina. They moved first to Bertie County, North Caro­ lina and later to Edgecombe County, North Carolina. Barnaby (2) McKinnie was a large land owner in both of these counties as shown by various deeds and by his will. His will was dated August 31, 1737. (Colonial Records of North Carolina, Volume 5, Page 1026). A codicil, Deed Book 1, page 312, dated December 3, 1739 is of Record at Halifax, North Carolina.

April - July. 18 LONG and McKINNIE HILL FAMILY OF NORTH CAROLINA by Stuart Hall Hill NICHOLAS LONG, FOUNDER OF THE LONG FAMILY OF HALIFAX COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA, came to North Carolina when a young man and settled in what is now the town of Halifax. His country home was called "Quanky Place." He was a wealthy planter. He was very probably a son of Gabriel Long of Virginia. His first wife was MARY REYNOLDS of Virginia. His son, Gabriel Long married Sarah Ann Richmond. Gabriel Long lived in Franklin County. On August 4, 1761 COLONEL LONG married MARY McKINNIE, daughter of JOHN McKINNIE of Halifax County, North Carolina. The McKinnie's came to Edgecombe County, North Carolina from Isle of Wight County, Virginia. The Will of Colonel Nicholas Long, dated June 13, 1797, probated in Halifax County, in February 1798, Will Book 3, page 392. The Will of Mrs. Mary McKinnie Long, dated November 1814, probated February 1822 in Halifax County, mentions her Brother Barnabas McKinnie.

Died, DeSoto Parish, Louisiana, between January 8, 1850 and August 19, 1850. William Gilbert McKinnie purchased much land and property when he arrived in DeSoto Parish, Louisiana. It is interesting to note that he purchased Lot No. one, Block No. 33 front­ ing Washington Street, bounded North by Block No. 5, fronting 33 feet, and running back 35 feet of Bon ("Chess") Chase Bayou Bluff.

DAR LINEAGE CHART FOR JOHN ROACH DESCENDANTS I, Marielou Roach Fair am the daughter of Douglas Fair Roach, born on 7-27-1851 at Mansfield, Louisiana, died at Mansfield, Lou­ isiana 10-24-1917 and his only wife MARY JANE HILL born on 9-30-1860 at Caddo Parish near Shreveport, Louisiana, living 1951, married 9-6-1881. The said Douglas Fair Roach was the child of Dr. Douglas Ran­ dolph Roach, born 4-13-1824, died 4-29-1890 and his wife Margaret Alice Roberts, born 11-4-1830, Madison County Alabama, died at Mansfield, Louisiana 1-18-1909, married 2-8-48 in Mississippi. The said Dr. Douglas Randolph Roach was the child of John Daniel Roach, born 4-14-1787 at Charleston District, South Carolina, 32 died at Dallas County, Alabama on 14-3-1837 and his wife Elizabeth Cato born on 1-9-1789 in South Carolina died at Wilcox County, Ala­ bama 4-15-1866, married about 1810, twins born 1811 Charleston District, South Carolina. The said John Daniel Roach was the child of John Roach, born about 1758-60, died very probably South Carolina before 5-5-1819 and his wife Deborah Howard, widow, born about 1760, married 7-21-1785 in Parish of Prince George, South Carolina. No other children of John Roach are known by name, but 1790 U. S. Census of South Carolina shows others. Deborah Howard, widow probably had as many as 2 children when she married John Roach in 1785. A record of their marriage, and birth of John Daniel Roach was kept by the Episcopal Minister, the Rev. S. Fenner Warren of St. James Santee Parish and as he died in 1789 there were no other records kept there until about 1848.

REVOLUTIONARY SERVICE JOHN ROACH enlisted in October 1776 in the 1st Regiment, South Carolina Line, Continental Establishment, and in December 1776 was appointed a Sergeant. He served under CHARLES COTESWORTH PINCKNEY of South Carolina. Photostat of service of John Roach is in DAR Records, Washing­ ton, D. C. Also service was copied from War Department, National Archives, Washington, D. C. by Marielou Roach Fair on October 14, 1947, from Volume 9, War of the Revolution, South Carolina. Pages 267-268. See Marriage Bond of John Roach, in this book, also South Caro­ lina Historical and Genealogical Magazine, Parish Register of St. James' Santee No. 207. For birth and baptism of John Daniel Roach see Volume 17, page 113, Parish Register of St. James' Santee-Births and Baptisms.

CATO FAMILY THE NAME CATO dates back to Marcus Porcius Cato, the Censor, and Major (The Wise and The Elder), a celebrated Roman, born 234 B.C. at Tusculum. His death occurred in 149 B. C. His hostility to Carthage, the destruction of which he advocated in every speech made by him in the forum, was the most striking feature of his closing years. Of his works, his De Re Rustica ('On Rural Economy') alone survives, though there exist in quotation frag­ ments of his history and speeches. . MARCUS PORCIUS (called Cato of Utica) the place of his death, to distinguish him from the Censor, his great-grandfather, was born 95 B.C. He was a contemporary with Pompey and Caesar and threw in his lot with Pompey. He died 46 B.C. 33 Later on in the centuries we find the CATO FAMILY IN SCOT­ LAND, then ENGLAND and in the very early seventeenth century we find the family in Virginia. Mrs. May B. Watkins, 2834 Liberty Avenue, Ogden, Utah, states the following: "My father's step­ mother was Eliza Cato, a daughter of Charles and Ann Higbee Cato. She was born February 1, 1831 at Tringe, Hertfordshire, England, and came as a pioneer in Captain Joseph Horne's Company, arriving here September 24, 1862. She had six sisters and one brother viz: Sarah Cato married Charles Sells, Mary Ann Cato married 1st Charles Dana, 2nd Geo. Odell, Rebecca Cato married William Faulk­ ner, Priscilla Cato married Francis W. Sells, Ellen Cato married John M. Bridge, Ernaline Cato Sanders, and Charles Cato, Jr." In 1731, a GEORGE CATER bought land from Joseph Rivers in Isle of Wight County, Virginia. Prior to this a George Catour was mentioned in land grants in Virginia. In 1734 a George Catour, evi­ dently the same person who bought land of Joseph Rivers, died in Brunswick County, Virginia and his will was probated in that County. In his will, dated 1732, he gave his place of residence as Isle of Wight. His home evidently was in that part of Isle of Wight which was added to Brunswick in 1732. He mentioned all my chil­ dren but did not name them: His lawful wife was made executor and his will was presented in court by Mary Catour in 1734. The name of JOHN CATOR was found in Brunswick County, Virginia in 1731. He witnessed the will of SAMUEL CLARKE in 1731. Brunswick County Will Book I, page 305. Samuel Clarke was the grand-father of John Cator's wife, Jane Cook; Samuel Clarke's daughter, Mary Clarke having married Henry Cooke. (See Cooke Line later) HENRY COOKE was a man of prominence, left a will, Brunswick County Will Book 4, page 241, proved in 1774. In his will he names his grandson, STERLING CATOR. In 1741, Henry Cooke deeded 100 acres of land "To my daughter Jane Cator," Brunswick County Deed Book 2, page 97. Evidently, HENRY CATOR, son of John Cator and Jane Cooke Cator, was born prior to 1741 and named for his grand-father Henry Cooke. This places the marriage date of John Cator and Jane Cooke Cator prior -to 1741, perhaps much earlier. John Cato and wife to deed William Lee: "This Indenture made the twenty-fifth day of October in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and fifty two between JOHN CATO AND JANE, his wife, of the County of Brunswick of the one part and William Lee of the County of Southampton of the other part. Signed John I. C. Cato, (his mark), and Jane I. C. Cato. JOHN CATO TO DEED HENRY CATO: This Indenture, made this fourth day of February in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and sixty nine, BETWEEN John Cato of Brunswick County of the one part and HENRY CATO

John Cato of Brunswick County, Virginia, "For love and affec­ tion for son-in-law, Peter Lee" deeded him one negro girl in 1755, witnessed by Daniel Cato and Jeremiah Brown.

Brunswick County, Virginia, Book 13, page 61, Date 1778: "A deed from Peter Lee and MARY, his wife, of Duplin County, North Carolina to Ephraim Peebles." Also deed from Peter Lee, Jr. and Elizabeth his wife of Duplin County, North Carolina to Briggs Goodrich, 1779, Book 13, page 263. This proves that Mary Cator, the daughter of John Cator and Jane Cooke Cator was in North Carolina by 1778 and the deed above shows her marriage to Peter prior to 1755. From the above records we find that JOHN CATOR AND HIS WIFE JANE COOKE CATOR, had three known children and from names and circumstances it is very probable that Daniel Cato, Will Book I, page 364; John Cato, Will Book I, page 268, date November 18, 1788: and Burrell Cato of Brunswick County, Meherrin Parish, Virginia, dated February 11, 1769: also William Cato of Fairfield County, South Carolina, probably others, were their children. In the will of John Cato, dated 18th November 1788 ... "And I do constitute and appoint JOHN CATO, son of my brother, Daniel Cato ... " (Executor), 2,000 lbs. security required of John Cato, Exr. DANIEL CATO married Patience Harris, sister of Francis Harris who named her in his will 17144, Brunswick County. Daniel Cato's will in Greenville County, Virginia, dated June 3, 1794 was proved 1797. Greenville County Will Book I, page 364. (Greenville County was cut from Brunswick County, Virginia in 1780). See will. Henry Cato, son of John Cato and wife Jane Cato, had moved to Drowning Creek, North Carolina, not so far from Duplin County, where Mary Cato Lee was found in 1778. From the pension record of Burrell Cato, son of Henry, son of John and Jane, we find that Burrell Cato was born on Drowning Creek in the state of North Carolina prior to Februar-y 1764. (See Pension Record) Henry Cato and wife Tabitha (probably Brewer or Vinson) returned to Virginia after 1769 for in 1771 Henry Cato and wife Tabitha sold the 250 35 acres of land given him by his father in Virginia to DRURY COOKE, brother of his mother, Jane Cooke Cator. "Brunswick County, Deed Book 10, page 267) : "Henry Cato and Tabitha, his wife, of Brunswick County for consideration of 150 lbs. current Virginia money, deed to Drury Cooke of Brunswick County, 250 acres of land in Brunswick County ... Land which JOHN CATOR, father of said Henry, deeded to him as gift." Dated November 25, 1771. (Note-Henry and Tabitha had removed from North Carolina and seemingly remained about two years, then returned to North or South Carolina for in 1784 we find Henry Cato received a land grant in the Forks of Black River South East of Camden, South Carolina. This is where Burrell Cato stated his father lived in 1781 when he entered the Revolutionary service. (See Pension Record, also photostat of land of Henry Cato in Forks of Black River, South Carolina). Burrell Cato states in his pension that he was born on the Waters of Drowning Creek· in the State of North Carolina. That when first called into service he lived on the BLACK RIVER IN SOUTH CAROLINA, about 20 miles from Camden. After the War he lived on the waters of Lynch's Creek about 40 miles from his former residence in South Carolina until 1816. (See deeds of William Cato 1813-1816 where William Cato sold 300 acres of land left him by his grand-father John Cato of Virginia and South Carolina). This was proved by Burrell Cato, his brother, who had remained in Dis­ trict of Little Lynch's Creek until 1816, when Burrell states he moved to near a place called Fort St. Stephens, on the Tombigbee River, where he remained one year (Alabama), then removed to Wayne County, Mississippi and remained 7 years, after which he removed to Jefferson County Mississippi and lived until his death after 1841. Burrell states in his application for the pension ... "He removed with his FATHER FROM HIS SAID FATHER'S RESI­ DENCE on the waters of Black River about 20 miles from Camden, South Carolina, to the waters of Lynch's Creek, a distance of about 40 miles. See deeds of Henry Cato on waters of Little Lynch's Creek (1787-1790-1798). The above proves conclusively that Henry Cato was the FATHER OF BURRELL CATO, the Revolutionary soldier. There were several other Burrell Catos. Needam Cato very prob­ ably a son of Henry, and brother of Burrell and William Cato had sons named Burrell and William. See settlement of estate of Need­ ham Cato in 1831, also his son, Needham, Jr. in 1852. JOHN CATOR AND HIS WIFE JANE COOKE moved to South Carolira in 1785. (See photostat of land laid out ta John Cato). Also 1790 U. S. Census of Lancaster County, South Carolina gives John Cato .. 1 male .. 1 female .. 1 slave. In 1803 John Cato obtained 3,000 acres of land on Buffalow Creek. William Cato sold 1,750 acres of this land which his grand-father, John Cato obtained in 1784-85 and 1803 in the State of South Caro­ lina, in Kershaw County. (Kershaw County was taken from Lan­ caster County, South Carolina in 1790). These deeds were made to William Seago of Kershaw County, South Carolina and proved by Burrell Cato. (See deeds). 36 John Cato's three known children were in the Carolinas by 1785, Viz. Henry Cato, Mary Cato Lee, and Starling or Sterling Cato whose land adjoined that of Henry Cato in 1784. Also William Cato of Fairfield had been there since 1775, at least. John Cato and broth­ er Daniel Cato remained in Virginia. See wills of John and Brother Daniel. The Court's Valuation of Property Impressed for the Use of the Public in Greenville County, Virginia, during latter part of Revolu­ tionary War. Tyler's Historical Magazine, Volume 5, page 27'4. March 27, 1782: To Daniel Catoe for carting ½ day .. 2 shillings .. d pence. To Daniel Catoe 2 barrels corn .. 15 shillings. April 26, 1782, page 276.

There were two John Catos in Greenville County Virginia in 1782 and it is probable that each of them furnished supplies, especially JOHN CATOR, CATO who had sons in the Revolutionary war. ---.--- CATO LINE OF DESCENT HENRY CATO, son of JOHN CATOR, CATO of Brunswick County, Virginia. Born about 1740 in Brunswick County, Virginia. Married about 1762, either in Virginia or North Carolina. TABITHA, (probably Brewer or Vinson) (See deeds).

CHILDREN OF HENRY AND TABITHA CATO: I. BURRELL CATO (The Revolutionary Pensioner). Born before February 1764 on waters of Drowning Creek, North Carolina. Lived on Black River about 20 miles from Camden, South Carolina with father when first called into Revolutionary service about 1781. Moved after war to waters of Lynch's Creek about 40 miles from former residence with father, then being a minor, and remained in this location until 1816 when he removed to FortSt. Stephens on the Tombigbee River (then Mississippi Territory) State of Alabama in 1819. Here he remained one year and moved across the state line of Alabama to Wayne County, Mississippi, from thence to Jefferson County Mississippi, from whence he made application for a pension in 1841. Here he made his home until his death. Of three sons born to him, Sterling C. was the youngest, who was born in Wayne County, 37 Mississippi, on August 12, 1816, but attained man's estate in Jeffer­ son County, whither he came with his father, (Burrell Cato). Wife of Burrell Cato unknown. (See Sketch of Sterling C. Cato). (See deeds for similar movements of Henry Cato, his father). There were four BURREL CATOS known to the writer. First, Burrell Cato of Virginia, most probably brother of Henry Cato above, who left his will in Brunswick County, Virginia in 1769. Second, Burrell Cato the Revolutionary pensioner. Third, Burrell Cato, the son of Needham Cato, brother of the pensioner. (See Settlement of Needham Cato's estate in 1831). Fourth, Burrell Cato, son of George Cato-Cater, Sr., most prob­ ably son of John Catoe who made will in 1788, Brunswick County, Virginia, naming son George. George Cater, Sr. received grant of land, 300 acres on Rafting Creek in Camden District, South Carolina, dated January 2, 1786. This George Cater, Sr. left a will in Sumter which was made May 23, 1806 and proved September 28, 1821 naming sons Burrell, Daniel, John and others. This could not have been Burrell, the pensioner, for Rafting Creek is south and west of Camden and the pensioner states that he was living on the Waters of Little Lynch's Creek at this date, 1813-1816. See deed of William Cato, to William Seago which was proved by Burrell the pensioner in 1816. Reverend Lewis Collins of Virginia died Neighbor to George Cato in 1806 and named one of his daughters Hannah Cater.

Born October 25, 1765, most probably on waters of Drowning Creek in State of North Carolina. As far as can be ascertained, no Revolutionary service, as father Lieut. Henry Cato, and brother Burrell Cato rendered Revolutionary service and received pay on same day ... 10th day of August 1785. Married SARAH MASSEY, daughter of ARTHUR MASSEY AND ELIZABETH HIS WIFE. (Note adjoining land tracts) . See. Will Arthur Massey, 1801). Sarah Massey Cato born August 4, 1770. Married September 8, 1787. William Cato sold in 1813 to William Seago, Sr. 1,750 acres of land owned by his grandfather John Cato, then of Lancaster County and Kershaw County, South Carolina. These two deeds were made in 1813, proved in 1816 by his brother Burrell before he moved to Fort St. Stephens, Mississippi Territory, later State of Alabama, and re­ corded in 1818. This land was given by John Cato to his grandson, William Cato, without any other land transfer. (See Deeds). Note in deeds of Henry Cato of Lancaster County that deeds of that day frequently gave the "chain of title" or parties owning the land at a prior date. William Cato had by 1813 moved to CHESTERFIELD DISTRICT. The eldest daughter of William and Sarah Massey Cato had married JOHN DANIEL ROACH IN 1810. John Daniel Roach lived in Charleston District and it is most probable that the parents 38 of Elizabeth Cato Roach, William and Sarah Cato, had moved nearer tO' their daughter as the first land record in Monroe County, Ala­ bama obtained by William Cato and John Daniel Roach was May 5, 1819. National Archives Record, Washington, D. C. The old court­ house of Claiborne, Monroe County Alabama was burned and there are no records 1820-1830 remaining. The following record proves WILLIAM CATO'S PLACE OF RESIDENCE IN 1793 and his as­ sociation with his grandfather, JOHN CATO. "WILLIAM CATO, appointed overseer of Road in place of John Cato. Office of Clerk of Court, Camden, South Carolina in Court of Common Pleas Minute Book for May 21, 1793, page 101." See photo­ stat of John Cato land for location of Camden Road. All wills destroyed in Lancaster and Chesterfield, and no early Cato Wills in Camden. Burrell Cato was living in Wayne County, Mississippi, in 1819 when John Daniel Roach and William Cato removed from South Carolina to Monroe County, Alabama. Monroe County being only a short distance from the border of the State of Mississippi. Here in Monroe County (as nearly as the writer can ascertain) William Cato lived until his death after 1842. His last land transaction was made October 11, 1842, to Leroy Roberts for $150.00 and recorded August 14, 1846, for 45 acres, the same Range as he entered land in 1819. Witness James McCall. In the old country cemetery there is a long row of graves with hewn rocks for tombstones which bear no inscription. Here the writer believes lie the bodies of William Cato, his son William M. Cato and John Daniel Roach. Some of William Cato's children moved to Leake County, Mississippi by 1850 U. S. Census but no record of their father has been found there as yet.

CHILDREN OF WILLIAM CATO AND SARAH MASSEY CATO: 1. Elizabeth, born January 9, 1789, married John Daniel Roach. 2. John Cato, born January 5, 1791, South Carolina. 3. Allen Cato, born February 2, 1792. 4. Wylie Cato, born December 3, 1795. 5. Tobias Cato, born August 25, 1798. 6. Rebecca, born about 1800, married Graham. See will of William M. Cato). 7. Claiborne, born January 8, 1803. 8. Isabelle, born August 1, 1805. 9. William M. Cato, born about 1807. (See Will Dallas County, Alabama). 10. La Menton (Lementone) Cato, born July 1, 1809. 11. ·Rosanna E. Cato, born May 3, 1812, married William B. Travis of the Alamo, Texas.

See State Archives, Austin, Texas for above data. 39 "Married on the evening of the 26th day of October AD. 1828, William B. Travis, to Rosanna E. Cato." "Born on the 8th day of August 1829, Charles Edward Travis, son of Wm. B. Travis and Rosanna E. Travis." "Born on the 4th day of August 1831, Susan Isabella Travis, daughter of William B. Travis and Rosanna E. Travis."

"Departed this life September 1, 1870, Susan Isabella Grisette, wife of John D. Grissette, and daughter of William B. Travis. Dear Mother is in heaven. I hope we may meet again. Written by her only daughter, Mary De Caussey."

"John D. Grissett departed this life on the 17th day of August, 22 minutes after 5: 00 P. M. in the year of AD. 1896 at Buffalo, Leon County, Texas." Buffalo, Texas lies between Lufkin and Waco in Leon County."

"Born on the 3rd day of May 1812, Rosanna E. Travis, daughter of William and Sarah Cato." III. MOST PROBABLY NEEDHAM CATOE Needham Cato Estate administered in Kershaw County, Dec­ ember 2, 1831 by Green Cato. No list of heirs but the following bought largely of slaves, house­ hold and kitchen furniture as well as personal belongings: Mrs. Elizabeth Cato, BURRELL CATO, WILLIAM CATO, Needham Cato Jr., Miss Mary Cato, daughter of Elizabeth, Nathan Cato, Benjamin Blakenny, Lewis Moseley and Green Cato. Needham Cato, son of late Needham Cato, Sr. died in February 1852." Needham Cato Es­ tate Administered 27th of February 1852 by James Cato and his bond signed by BURRELL CATO AND LEVI CATO. Both Burrell and William Cato would seem to be sons of Needham Cato, Sr. and named for the brothers of Needham Cato, and sons of Henry Cato, BURRELL AND WILLIAM CATO. This Burrell was evidently a much younger man than Burrell Cato, the pensioner. Needham Cato must have been born about 1768-69 as he is given in the 1790 U. S. Census Lancaster County, South Carolina and wit­ nessed deeds of Henry and Tabitha Cato, Cator, on Little Lynch's Creek first to Vinson Cato, February 6, 1793, second, Henry Cato and Tabitha to Jesse Hays, dated July 8, 1798. (See Deeds). IV. PROBABLY VINSON CATO. In 1800 U. S. Census of Lancaster County, South Carolina. We find the following children of HENRY CATO and WIFE TABITHA. 1 male under 16. 1 male over 45 (Henry Cato) . 40 1 female under 10. 1 female under 16. 2 females under 26. 1 female over 45 (Tabitha Cato). By 1800 ... Burrell, William, Needham, and Vinson were adults together with the one son under 16 years of age, totals at least 4 daughters and 5 sons. Both Henry and Tabitha living in 1800. No further record. Note-Henry Cato's land in Lancaster was bounded Southwest­ wardly by Oliver Massey lands. William and Burrell moved there after the Revolution with their father, on waters of Little Lynch's Creek as shown by Burrell Cato Pension and deeds of Henry Cato and wife Tabitha. The marriage of William Cato and Sarah Massey was September 8, 1787 and Daughter Elizabeth was born January 9, 1789. For location of land, see deed of Henry and Tabitha Cato to William Brewer, dated January 16, 1787.

This book in D.A.R. Library, Washington D. C. There are two Buffalo Creeks running into Lynches Creek: one about a mile below the North Carolina Line in Chesterfield County, the other about 8 miles below Flat Creek on the Kershaw side, but the location given in the (FURNAM) M.S. of Buffalo Creek meeting house as 10 miles above the main meeting House shows that this was near the North Carolina line and that it might be an early designation of Lane's Creek. Flat Creek is 35 miles North East of Camden. It is still on the same lot and is known as Flat Creek. Page 101. Statistics of Lane's Creek Church 1798-1804. Both Churches in Kershaw County now.

Charles Cook had a split in his church and left for North Carolina. It seems John Cato who was not a minister, but a good layman, was ordained and took the pastorate. This is what I gained from reading the text of South Carolina Baptists. WILLIAM BREWER was also associated with JOHN CATO. The 2nd Church on Lynches Creek was organized in 1789 by the Rev. Charles Cook who -later removed to Anson County, North Carolina and the REV. JOHN CATO WAS PASTOR 1793-94. The Rev. JOHN CATO LIVED IN LANCASTER COUNTY ON THE OLD CAMDEN ROAD. The upper Fork of Lynches Creek Baptist Church had the Rev. John Cato as pastor in 1790 and also in 1794 and that year he was a delegate with RICHARD HOLLY to the annual association ... The Lane Creek Baptist Church in upper Lancaster County had the Rev. JOHN CATO AS PASTOR FROM 1798 to 1804 ... The Rev. John Cato was called as pastor and to be ordained at Boggy Gully but there is no record of his accepting . . ·. The Congaree Baptist Church in Lower Richland County was organized in 1764 and the Rev. Joseph Reese was pastor until he died in 1794 .. The church was split by a dispute in 1801, the following ministers were called in to come and confer with the congregation for advice and these ministers were named 45 as: JOHN CATO ... JOHN M. ROBERTS (Buried at High Hills Baptist Church in Sumter County). Rev. Lewis Collins of Rafting Creek and (Vir­ ginia) and pastor of Swift Creek Church in Sumter on the Kershaw County Line ... Solomon Thompson ... Edward Pigg.

P. 0. Box 662, Sumter, South Carolina August 24, 1949. By Janie Reville. This record shows that WILLIAM CATO WAS APPOINTED ROAD OVERSEER IN THE PLACE OF JOHN CATO which is as follows: "WILLIAM CATO, appointed overseer of Road in place of JOHN CATO. Office of Clerk of Court, Camden, South Carolina, in Court of Common Pleas Minute Book for May 21, 1793, page 101." This proves that WILLIAM CATO was appointed overseer of the OLD CAMDEN ROAD ON WHICH JOHN CATO, also WILLIAM CATO lived in 1793. ---.--- JOHN CATO-Deed.

Drury settled in North Carolina, while John went to Ninety Sixth District, South Carolina. John lived near what is known as Cook's Ferry before the Revolutionary War. He married his first wife in Virginia, and his second wife was the daughter of General John Pearson-Martha Pearson. John was a Captain and patriot in the Revolutionary War. After the death of his second wife, Martha, he moved to Hancock County, Georgia, and married a third time. He died there about 1812. Sons of his second wife were: John (married Ellen Hampton), Burrell who married Mary Pope, (daughter of Solomon Pope), Phillip (married Martha W oaten) , Henry who never married, Isaac who married Elizabeth Rivers, Mrs. Thomas Hutchinson, Mrs. Gundest, Mrs. McCreless, Mrs. Bellamy, Mrs. Herbert, Mrs. Battle, Mrs. Daniel. (The above data compiled by Mrs. Mary Laurence Cook Woodson in 1870). Please note that the son of John Cooke of South Carolina (who was brother of Jane Cooke Cator (Cato), wife of John Cato of Virginia and South Carolina), was named Burrel Cook. He was most probably named for Burrel Cato who left a will in Virginia h1 1769. This is further evidence that the first Burrel Cato of Virginia was the son of John Cato and his wife Jane Cook, the daughter of Henry Cook of Brunswick County, Virginia.

Dear Mrs. Wooten: I hate to wait so long before answering your letter, for perhaps as you know it takes a long time sometimes to find so little, and as you know I have to do this kind of work outside of office hours, therefore I have very little time, however I have found the following: "A deed from Peter Lee and Mary his wife of DUPLIN CO., North Carolina to Ephraim Peebles- 1778 Book 13, page 61." And a deed from Peter Lee Jr. and Elizabeth his wife of DUPLIN COUNTY, North Carolina to Briggs Goodrich-1779, Book 13, page 263. I wonder if marriages or wills would be in North Carolina. Have you gotten any records from North Carolina? I will continue to search, and if I find anything of interest will let you know. Yours very truly, WILLIE B. ABERNATHY MRS. WILLIE B. ABERNATHY.

His widow survives him and resides on the homeplace, aged 75 years (1891) having borne a family of two sons and four daughters that grew to years of maturity. Cora (deceased) was the wife of W. B. Scott; Georgia is the wife of J. B. Mullins of Franklin County; Gertrude is the widow of Lewis Cato: Laconia is the wife of W. B, Gillis: W. L.

ROBERTS FAMILY THE ROBERTS FAMILY HAS NUMEROUS COATS OF ARMS No. 1. Roberts of Cornwall: Barnstaple, Devonshire: and of Twickenham, Middlesex. Arms: Azure, three estoiles and a chief, wavy, or. Crest: a lion, rampant, or holding a sword, wavy, erect, argent, pommel and hilt of the first. No. 2. Roberts, Robarts or Robartes, of Lanhyderock, Cornwall. Arms: Same as No. 1. Crest: A lion, rampant, or, holding a flaming sword erect, proper pommel and hilt of the first. Motto "Quae supra." No. 3. Roberts, Robarts or Robartes, Earls of Radnor. Arms: Same as Nos. 1 and 2. Crest: Same as No. 2. Supporters: Two goats, rampant, argent, ducally gorged aszure. Motto: Same as No. 2. Notes: Nos. 1, 2 and 3. Authorities all agree that the arms first described was granted by Camden, King of Arms, in 1614. Berry mentions its use by John Roberts, Esq., of Barnstaple, in 1824. The Roberts, of Lanhyderock, were of the first mentioned family, but, desiring their arms to differ from that borne by the parent stock, added the flames to the blade of the sword. During the reign of James I, Sir Richard Roberts, of Lanhyderock, Knight and Baronet, was raised to the peerage as Lord Roberts of Truro. His son, and heir, the second Lord Robartes, was created Earl of Radonr, and, as befits a Peer, supporters were added to the original arms. The shield, as shown in the descriptions, is alike in all three cases. The lower two-thirds of blue, the upper third of gold. On the blue part of the escutcheon are three estoiles or stars of six rays, all gold. Above each shield is borne the crest, in each instance a golden lion, rampant, grasping a sword, the blade of which is silver, the pommel and hilt gold, etc. Our immediate ROBERTS FAMILY IS FIRST FOUND in Som- 83 erset County, Maryland, where "John Aydelott gives to his fellow yeoman and friend" (Alexander Roberts) a tract of land known as "JOINED MEADOWS".

The following is taken from "History of North West Louisiana", data furnished by Dr. Alfred Virgil Roberts, and published about 1890. 108 "A. V. Roberts, M.D. The people of DeSoto, as well as the surrounding parishes, are familiar w:ith the name that heads this skE:tch, and for many years he has been actively and successfully engaged m prosecuting his chosen profession. His present home is four miles north of Mansfield but he was born in HUNTSVILLE, Alabama, December 7, 1825, his p.uents. Robert _W. and Harriet (Allan) Roberts, being born_ in Dela,yare and Virginia, respectively. The paternal grandfather was born In America, but his father was a native of Scotland. Sanders Roberts was an officer in the Continental Army during the Revolution, taking part in the Battle of Brandwine, Robert W. Roberts was a lawyer by profession and after his marriage removed to Tennessee, thence to Alabama, afterward to Mississippi in 1833.• in which State he held a seat in the State Legislature from 1837 to 1844, being Speaker of the House for two sessions. In the latter year he was elected to Congress: was re-elected in 1846, but after discharging the duties of this term he re­ turned to his home and lived a retired life on his farm until his death, on January 4, 1865, his wife having passed from life May 6, 1846. A. V. Roberts, M.D. was a graduate of the medical department of the University of Pennsyl­ vania, at Philadelphia." Dr. A. V. Roberts removed to Mansfield, DeSoto Parish, Louisiana in February 1849. He was one of the charter members of the First Baptist Church and a consistent member until his death in 1903."

"In 1821 Robert Whyte Roberts bought land in Section 30, Township 1, Range 1 East and another tract in Section 29-1-1 East. This land is located near the Tennessee line between New Market and Hazel Green, so that is why he bought goods at Hazel Green and his name appars in the store accounts. In 1822 he made two deeds (no wife shown) and in 1830 he and wife Harriet (Allen) sold that in Section 29. Soon thereafter he moved to Hinds County, Mississippi and from there to Scott County, Mississippi where he is interred in the old family cemetery. (Land located in Madison County, Alabama).

CAPTAIN JOHN JOHNSON WAS EDIVENTLY BORN IN VIRGINIA. His father, Richard Johnson Sr., moved to Campelton, South Carolina about 1765. Campbelton is or was a few miles north of Augusta on the South Carolina side of the Savannah River. Here he grew to manhood. He evi­ dently crossed the Savannah River into Georgia and married Elizabeth Ruth (Smith?) of Richmond County, Georgia. Here he fought during the Revo­ lution. History reveals that the battles of Savannah and Augusta also Kettle Creek were "tough" fighting. According to Joseph Habersham Chapters he moved to Green County Georgia about 1786-87. We do not learn any more about him until about 1802 when he crossed the Savannah and settled in Edgefield County, South Carolina, the place of his childhood. His son, WILLIAM S. JOHNSON, went back to Madison County (taken from Elbert County in 1811) and married Ann H. Ellis, the daughter of Nancy Ellis and very probably Thomas Ellis of Georgia and later Barnwell County, South Carolina. In Deed Book 32, page 346 of Edgefield Records we find "A Deed of Gift" on September 15, 1815 from John Johnson, Sr. to the CHILDREN OF WILLIAM S. JOHNSON, (for natural love and affection). This is why Wil­ liam S. Johnson is not mentioned in the Will of John Johnson, Sr., dated February 24, 1829. When he gave the receipt to James Miller his nephew, in 1829, he was evidently weak and old, as told in the will. This will was probated on May 22. 1829. He was the brother of the famous CAPTAIN RICHARD JOHNSON, JR. (wife Mary Bugg of Augusta) who won at the Battle of Saluda. SEE ANNALS OF NEWBERRY S. C. IN D.A.R. LIBRARY: The following copied by author from "History of Edgefield, S. C." "Whether Captain Richard Johnson was born in Edgefield or not is not known. HIS FATHER came from Virginia and settled near Campbelton, on the Savannah River. Richard was about 18 years old at the time of the Declaration of Independence. He took that side at the first and clung to it without wavering until the close. He was Captain in Samuel Hammond's Cavalry. He won at Saluda. He recived high praise for his conduct. In 1806 he was elected to the Legislature and continued to be a member of that body until his death in 1817 at his residence in Edgefield. He left a hand­ some fortune, but no children to inherit it. The following is the last DOCUMENT OF JOHN JOHNSON, SR. except his will in 1829. · In 1829 John Johnson gave a recipt to James Miller, his nephew, for land given him from his Brother Richard's estate. Witnesses: George W. Johnson (Nephew) William S. Johnson (His son). See National Number of Daughters of the American Revolution 91599 for proof of this line.

He was a builder in Williamsburg, and erected in 1714 the famous Powder Magazine and the two wings of the new church in Bruton 114 Parish. He also finished the palace building which had been begun by Henry Cary, May 2, 1727 "Henry Cary and John Tyler, Gent." were appoint­ ed by the House of Burgesses to view the governor's house and report what reparations are necessary there in (Journal of the House of Burgesses, 1712- 1726, p. 101.: 1727-1740-Journal of the Executive Council). He died not long after this order. He married Elizabeth Jarrett, daughter of John Jarrett (nephew of the lawyer William Sherwood), and Johana Lowe, his wife, daughter of Michael Lowe, and niece of the prominent London Merchant-Micajah Perry (Tyler, Cradle of the Republic p. 265; Wm. and Mary Coll.

(Tyler Pedigree in Letters and Times 1862 of the Tylers, III, pp. 209 et sez., Bouldin, The Old Trunk). 8. FRANCIS (3) TYLER (Henry (2), Henry(l) was born about 1687, and named doubtless for Col. John Page's father, Francis Page. He lived in James City County, was a student at William and Mary College in 1702 with his brother John, when they took part in barring out the President and Pro­ fessors at Christmas time (See amusing account in Wm. & Mary Quarterly XVI, 180-199). He was marshal of the Vice-Admiralty Court in 1714 and sub sheriff of York County in 1720. The will of his father Henry Tyler (1729) names his wife Rebecca and his three sons, 11. Henry, 12.

STROTHER FAMILY Pages 61-68 SOME PROMINENT FAMILIES OF VIRGINIA By Louise Pequet du Bellet. THE STROTHER FAMILY is of Scandinavian origm, and came to Britain with the Vikings. The name is found in Sweden & Denmark, at present day. A graveyard in "PLANET," older than the Norman Conquest, 1066, has on its tombstones inscriptions to the STROTHERS buried there. The earliest form of the name seems to be STRAATHOR which is decidedly Scandinavian and in the graveyard mentioned it is f~und in both forms. The coat of arms is as old as any in England with the following description: "Sable, a bend argent three eagles displayed proper. Motto: "Prius more quam faleri fidem". 116 Both in history and romance the name frequently appears. In Chaucer we find mention of those who bore it. It is in the records of the landed Gentry of Northumberland County, England. It is found in Masicap Union with the proudest, and most influential families of Northern Counties. ALLEN DEL STROTHER, Lord of Lyham, 1352, during the reign of Edward III, was sheriff of Northumberland and was succeeded by his sons, ALLEN AND HENRY. His daughter, Joanna, married John Copeland who captured King David, at the Battle of Nevill Cross. He was knighted therefor, and made warden of Roseborough Castle. ALLEN DEL STROTH­ ER was also warden of the Castle, 1368 to 1396, and was succeeded by Sir Thomas Percy. WILLIAM STROTHER, SON OF THIS ALLEN, died without issue and his estates descended to his sister and their children. To the descendants of this branch of the family they still belong. WILLIAM DEL STROTHER, brother of Allen, was Mayor of New Castle in 1352 and subsequently represented that city in Parliament. The descendants of Henry Strother, grandson of Allen del Strother, and young­ est son of Allen Strother, lived in Castle Strother, Glendale, in 1640. In 1639, William, son of William Strother, Gent., matriculated at Oxford. At this time the name was frequently found among linguists, jurists, and Iiterateurs. In fact, in every generation and in all times and places, this family has been noted for bravery anl loyalty to the cause espoused. Holders of high offices in times of peace, they were specially noted for staunch adherence to their church, sacrificing property and position in it's cause. WILLIAM STROTHER; (1) pioneer of the family in America, came to Virginia in 1650, and settled in Cotterboone or Colterborne Parish, near the present Port Conway, King George County. He was a man of great prom­ inence in the community, and married Dorothy Savage. William Strother Ost) died in 1702. Will probated Nov. 4, 1702. WILLIAM STROTHER (2), son of above, married MARGARET THORN­ TON. They had issue: 1. WILLIAM STROTHER (3), son of above, married Margaret Watts and had thirteen daughters. II. FRANCIS STROTHER (3) married Susannah Dabney. III. ANTHONY STROTHER (3) married Behethland Starke. IV. JOHN STROTHER (3) married Elizabeth Pendleton Hunter. V. BENJAMIN STROTHER (3) of Stafford married Miss Mary Mason Fitzhugh, sister of George Mason Fitzhugh. Their daughter, Alice Strother, married Robert Wfl¥tington of Mathis Point Dec. 16, 1756. He was a cousin of General George'\'llshington, President of the United States. Issue of Alice Strother and Robert Washington: THOMAS, son of Robert and Alice Washington, born Sept. 5, 1758. WILLIAM STROTHER, son of Robert and Alice Washington, born April 20, 1760. 117 ANNE, daughter of Robert and Alice Washington, was born Nov. 10, 1761. TOWNSEND, son of Robert and Alice Washington, born Feb. 20, 1764. LUND, son of Robert and Alice Washington, was born Sept. 25, 1767. WILLIAM STROTHER (3) married Margaret Watts and were the an- cestors of: AGATHA STROTHER (4) who married John Madison, member of House of Burgesses from Augusta County, Virginia. MARGARET STROTHER (4) ,second daughter of William Strother and Margaret Watts, married Gabriel Jones, "The King's Attorney." Their daughter, Margaret Jones, married Col. John liarvie. Their daughter, Gabriella Jones Harvie married Col. Thomas Mann Randolph. The son of Col. J.ohn Harvie, namely, Gen. Jaquelin Harvie, married Mary Marshall, only daughter of Chief Justice Marshall. MARGARET STROTHER (4), and Gabriel Jones had a daughter, Elizabeth Jones, who married John Lewis, son of Col. Fielding Lewis and Betty Washington, sister of General George Washington. ANNE STROTHER, daughter of William Strother and Margaret Watts, married Francis Tyler on May 17, 1744 from whom Alice Tyler, the wife of Joseph Allen, is descended. ALICE .STROTHER, the sister of ANNE STROTHER, married Henry Tyler, the brother of said Francis Tyler. GABRIEL JONES, above, was one of the "Blue Coat Boys" who at­ tended Christ's Hospital School, and later gained a reputation in Virginia. He was called the "Valley Lawyer." He was the son of John Jones, citizen and weaver of London, and Elizabeth Jones, his wife and was born near Williamsburg, Va., May 17, 1724. After his father's death, his mother re­ turned to England, and Gabriel Jones was admitted in 1732, at the age of 8, to Christ's Hospital where he remained seven years. Afterwards studied law. GABRIEL JONES returned to Virginia, and married MARGARET STROTHER, widow of George Morton, and daughter of William Strother of King George County, Virginia. Later he purchased a fine estate in Augusta County and lived there from 1753 to 1777: attorney of Rockingham County (formed from Augusta) and died in that county in October, 1806. COL.

It may be of interest to those who are acquainted with the rustic and picturesque western end of Middlesex County, England to give a short account of the little village of BEDFONT, whence sprang the first JOHN PAGE OF VIRGINIA, through whose efforts Williamsburg and the College of Wynn & Mary so prospered. About five miles southwest of Twickenham, a town made memorable by its associations with Alexander Pope, Horace Walpole, John Doune, Tennyson & Bacon and midway between the ancient town of Staines and the modern borough of Hounslow, lies BEDFONT, amidst low rolling plains of almost evergreen grass, neat little farms separated one from the other by hedge rows and cherry orchards fragant in spingtime with honey­ suckles ... _The paish church at BEDFONT, at least one-half of the present masonry, was standing when Alfred the Great fought the Danes. It is a lasting and noble tribute to JOHN PAGE that after he became a great man in Virginia he should make a special trip to England to erect a suitable memorial to his ancestors in BEDFONT. Over the grave of his father he placed a great stone slab, on the upper half of which were engraved the Arms of the PAGES and at the bottom appears this truly touching heroic couplet: "A VIRTUOUS LIFE & GOOD OLD AGE PER­ FUMED THE MEMORY OF FRANCIS PAGE. Ex dono-JOHANNIS PAGE filii eius de Comitatie Ebor in Virtinia Mercatoris." This memorial, Col. John Page, originally placed on the floor of the Chancel where presumably FRANCIS, the father is buried, but for some reason it was later removed. When Dr. John Page of New York some years ago, visited BEDFONT, he found the memorial on the east side of the church yard. 119 On the left wall in the Chancel is a brass marking the burial place of Matthew Page and Isabel, his mother. Probably these were the elder brother and mother of Col. John Page of Williamsburg, Virginia.

FAMILY OF COL. JOHN PAGE, THE PROGENITOR OF THE VIRGINIA PAGES COL. JOHN PAGE, born in England in 1627, died January 23, 1692, (age 65), buried in British Parish Church Yard of York County, Virginia. His wife, ALICE LUCKIN, died in Williamsburg, Va., on June 22, 169-, at age of 73. Their children and other descendants: 1. Capt. Francis Page of Williamsburg, Jas. City Co., Va. Born Williams­ burg, 1657, died May 10, 1692 (age 35). Tombstone in Williamsburg. Mar­ ried Mary Diggs (1682 circa): died 1690-91, daughter of Edward Diggs Esq., of Hampton Parish, Virginia, (about 32 years of age). Issue: Elizabeth married 1701, cousin, John Page. She died and her husband returned t~ England and presumably died 1703. No heirs. 2. MATTHEW PAGE, born Williamsburg, 1659, died 1703 (age 44) of Rosewell, Gloucester Co., Virginia, known as Col. Matthew Page, Esq. He married MARY MANN (circa 1689) born 1672, only child of John and Mary Mann, of Timberneck, Gloucester County, Virginia. Mary Mann Page died 1707. Issue of Matthew Page and Mary Mann: Mann Page, born 1691, died 1730, Gloucester County, Virginia. Married 1st-Judith Wormeley. Two children by this marriage: Ralph Page and Maria Page. Mann Page married 2nd, Judith Carter in 1718, daughter of Robert (King) Carter and Judith Armstead. 3. SUSANNAH PAGE (OR MARY), daughter of Col. John Page, mar­ ried Walter Chiles son of Lt. Col. Walter Chiles. and member of the Council. Their daughter, Elizabeth Chiles. married Henry Tyler (2) in 1683. See Volume 8, Tyler's Magazine, pages 209-211.

Page 49, Vol. I, "Letters &: Times of The Tylers" "In the will of Col. Page we read: "Item: I give ye remainder of my two hundred and ninety-one acres of land, situated in ye forks of Powhatan (not sold to Henry Mallard), unto my said son Francis, and the heirs male of his body lawfully begotten, and for want of. such heirs "maile" to my grandson, JOHN TYLER, sonne of my granddaughter, Eliz.

Item: I give to my said grandson, John Tyler, the sum of fifty pounds sterill, to be paid att his age of eighteen years, and in case he dye before that age, then in lieu thereof I give the sum of thirty pounds sterll to such other child of my said granddaughter, Eliz Tyler, as shall attain first to ye age of eighteen years." "By another provision of the same will: 'Item: Itt is my will and desire that such negroes or slaves as I shall dye possessed of at Middle Plantations, ye N eek of Land, and Mehixton, when they or any of them grow aged and past their labour, that such de- 120 crepitt slave or slaves be kept provided for and maintained by their re­ spective owners and masters, with cloathes, dyatt, and all other necessarries, in as good, sufficient, and like manner as when they were able to work.

"The Receipt of John Tyler is thus recorded: 'Received by me, John Tyler, son of Mr. Henry Tyler, of York County, in Virginia, and grandson of Col. John Page, formerly of ye said county in Virginia, deceased, of John Page, of ye county of Gloucester, fifty pounds of lawful money of England, by bills of exchange on Mr. Micajah Perry and Compa Merchts in London, at ten days' sight. The said sum being due to me, and said John Tyler, for a legacie left me by ye last will and testa­ ment of ye said Coll.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal, this nineteenth day of August, 1706. John Tyler, (Seal) The following interpretation of the receipt of John Tyler may assist in the clarification of matters and is given by the author as follows: John Tyler was the son of Elizabeth Chiles Tyler, the daughter of Walter Chiles and (Mary or Susannah Page). Authorities differ as to the given name. Therefore John Tyler was the great-grand-son of Col. John Page and Alice Luckin. Both Elizabeth and John Chiles are named in the will of Col. John Page. See will in this book). John Page (and wife Mary) of ye County of Gloucester was only the administrator of the estate of both Col. John Page and his son Matthew who was also deceased in 1706. Just what relation, if any, John Page of Gloucester, the administrator, was to Col. John Page, is not tknown by the author, but it is very evident by these documents herein quoted that John Chiles and Elizabeth Chiles were own brother and sister and grand-children of Col. John Page, the progenitor of Virginia Pages and his wife Alice Luckin. Some authorities state that Col. John Page 1627 (1691-92) had no daughters but this is proven in error by the fact that he had grand-children, John and Elizabeth Chiles. They were evidently children of his daughter Mary or Susannah Page. "Letters and Times of the Tylers" by Lon G. Tyler. Copywright-1884. Page 49 of Vol. I. Referring to JOHN TYLER-son of Henry Tyler and Elizabeth Chiles. "John was a legatee and contingent devisee under the will of Col. John Page the first. Capt. Francis Page, elder son of Col. John Page, dying with­ out male issue, John became seised of about two hundred acres of land in James City county, at the head waters of Powhatan swamp.''

It is interesting to note in regard to HENRY TYLER who married ELIZABETH CHILES in 1683, Ref. lW (1) 77 and 78 states in part: "In 1671, under date of April 4th, WALTER CHILES appeared in behalf 121 of his sons, John and Henry_ relative to 1500 acres of land in Westmoreland county. According to the note of Dr. E. D. Neill, Walter Chiles was the son-in-law of COL. JOHN PAGE.

LETTERS AND TIMES OF THE TYLERS-VOL. I, PAGES 42-51 The old records in the court house of York county will constitute the principal authority for what I shall briefly state concerning Henry Tyler and his descendants. This first American Tyler ancestor, HENRY TYLER, lived on the out­ skirts of what is now the city of Williamsburg. His name repeatedly occurs in the records in connection with some of the most respectable names of the colony. He left at his death, in 1672, by his second wife, Ann Orchard, three sons-Henry, John, and Daniel-all minors. John settled, it is believed, in Hanover county, and became the pro­ genitor of the family of Tylers in that and adjoining counties. HENRY, (2) the oldest son. married Elizabeth, a grand-daughter of COL. JOHN PAGE, the founder of the Page family in Virginia, a member of the royal council. and by his will, as recorded in York county, a man of wealth and property. (Footnote) (This lady's name is not given in the records. A patent of "John Page, merchant," about 1655, mentions, among the emigrants trans­ ported by him from England, ALICE PAGE (his wife), and ELIZABETH and MARY Page. Elizabeth was doubtless his daughter, and probably married Mr. Walter Chiles, whose daughter Elizabeth married Henry Tyler). Henry Tyler lived to play a useful part in the affairs of the colony. He •was successively bailiff, constable, justice of the peace, coroner, and high sheriff of York county, serving through a long series of years with credit and character. His property in slaves and land was respectable. About seventy-four acres of his father's original grant of land in the Middle Plantation were purchased by the colony, and became the seat of the gover­ nor's palace, which on the destruction of the State buildings at Jamestown, was transferred thither. In 1699, Henry (2) Tyler was appointed with Governor Nicholson, Edmund Jening, Esq. of the Council, Philip Ludwell and Thomas Ballard, of the House of Burgesses, Benjamin Harrison and some others, to superin­ tend the settlement and building of the embryonic metropolis of Williams­ burg. For very many years Henry (2) Tyler served as one of the two church­ wardens of Bruton Parish. Page 47. As church warden with Colonel David Bray, whose handsome monu­ ment yet stands at Williamsburg, Henry Tyler superintended the execution of the powers of the vestry, assessed the tithables authorized by them, reported absentees from church, and prosecuted the claims of the parish in the county courts. I have seen an interesting old document in the archives of the State, bearing date 1710, signed by the vestrymen of Bruton Parish, headed by Henry Tyler, praying the aid of the General Assembly towards building a new church for the accommodation of the parishioners, ''who are often outed of their seats" by the great concourse of strangers at the meetings of the General Assembly, councils, and other public occasions. Among the vestrymen appear such familiar names as Edmund Jenings, member of the royal Council, David Bray, Ambrose Cobbs, Richard Kendal and Frederick Jones. The present church in Wililamsburg, designed by Sir Christopher Wren, was the result of this application. Its splendid gold and silver communion service was present in part by Queen Anne and in part by King George the First: and, with that of the old church at Jamestown, is still preserved by the proper authorities. The church was enlarged, and doubtless afforded better quarters to the dissatisfied vestrymen, who stig­ matized the old church as ruinous. HENRY TYLER lived until the year 1729. His will is recorded in the 122 York County Court. (See will). He was ~arried first, as we have seen, to ELIZABETH CHILES, and secondly to Edith Hardaway. Three sons were born of the first marriage, and none of the second. Elizabeth's children were John, Francis, and Henry. 1. JOHN was a legatee and contingent devisee under the will of COL. JOHN PAGE. Capt. Francis Page, elder son of Col. John Page, dying with­ out male issue John became seised of about two hundred acres of land in James City county, at the head waters of Powhatan swamp. There he settled. and there, at the beginning of the eighteenth century, he built for his residnce a modest two-story house with brick brought from England. This building, now owned by Mr. Barnes, of New Kent, is distant about four miles from Williamsburg, and is still pointed out as a well-preserved relic of colonial days. Its owner, John Tyler of James City county, was great grand­ father of President Tyler. He married Elizabeth Jarrett, and died a few years before his father, Henry Tyler, some time between 1720 and 1729, leaving issue John, Joanna, Elizabeth Low, Mary and Edith. 2. FRANCES TYLER, second son of Henry and Elizabeth Tyler, re­ sided in James City County. From him is descended the family of Tylers in Prince William_ Stafford and FAUQUIER. (See Alice Tyler Allen). Issue: Henry, Francis and John. The Prince William (3) Caroline (4), Hanover and Spotylvania Tylers have all been represented in the history of Virginia, furnishing to the State numerous members of the legislature and occupants of the bench. 3. HENRY TYLER, the third of the name heired the ancestral home­ stead. In 1752 he sold out and moved to Sussex county, and there died in 1774, leaving no surviving issue, and dividing his property between his grand-nephew and godson, John Tyler "attorney at law in Charles City county,'' and his grand-naphew, William Tyler, son of Francis Tyler, of Prince William. (See abstract of will).

Will of Henry Tyler-who lived until the year 1729. His will is record­ ed in York County Court. He was married first ... to Eilzabeth Chiles, and secondly to Edith Hardaway.

Page 51. Deed of Henry Tyler to Dr. John Amson, in November 1752, conveying "all that tract of land whereon the said Henry Tyler lives, con­ taining, by estimation 180 acres more or less, lying near the city of Williams­ burg, in the parish of Bruton, in the county of York, and bounded according to the ancient, known and lawful bounds thereof, which said tract or parcel of land is part of two hundred and fifty-four acres of land, granted unto Mr. Henry Tyler, grandfather of the said Henry, by patent bearing date the seventh day of January 1652 (1653) and from the said Henry, the grand­ father, descended to his son, Henry Tyler, who devised the same by his last will and testament unto his son Henry Tyler, party to these presents, in fee simple. 124 PAGES 210-211, VOLUME 3, "LETTERS AND TIMES OF THE TYLERS" Henry Tyler's first wife was Elizabeth Chiles, of whose family the following account, taken from the contemporary records, may be given: WALTER CHILES, merchant, patented lands in Virginia as early as 1638-9. Among his headrights were his son Walter, and wife Elizabeth. He represented Charles City Co. in 1642-43 in the House of Burgesses, and James City Co. in 1645, 1645-46, 1649, and in 1652. In the last year he was elected Speaker, and had the title of Lieutenant Colonel (Hening's Stats). In a deed in the Charles City County records he is entitled ''Esq:.'', a terrp. at that time applied to but few besides thecouncillors. He engaged largely in the shipping business. (See W. and M. Quarterly, 1, p. 75). He was probably dead before 1658, as the Walter Chiles, who represented James City that year and in 1663, was designated as "Mr. Walter Chiles," and not "Lieutenant Colonel." He was certainly dead before 1670, as Walter Chiles, the son, received a patent for 70 acres in James City Island called "Black Point", formerly granted to "Walter Chiles, father of the said Walter Chiles, and by right descending unto him as sonne and Heyre of his said father deceased." In April 1671, "Mr. Walter Chiles in behalf of his sons John and Henry" obtained from the General Court an order for 1500 acres in West­ moreland County. He was dead before May 15, 1672, when his widow SUSANNA received from Gov. Berkeley a lease for 99 years of 200 acres in Passbehayes, James City County, for improvements made on the Gov­ ernor's land there by her late husband, Walter Chiles, deceased. It was pro­ vided in this deed, that after the death of the said Susanna, John Chiles, eldest son of the said Walter Chiles, (in the Deed the name is spelled "Giles") should enjoy the balance of the term. (See Deed in the Ludwell MSS). In 1690. John Chiles and Mary his wife deeded to Sir Edmound Andros the land for 77 years, being the unexpired period. From the land patents John Chiles appears to have settled in King William County, and Henry Chiles in New Kent County, where their descendants spread into Louisa, Caroline, and Spotsyivania (W. and M. C. Quarterly, I, 75) Col. John Page, who died in 1692, aged 65, calls Elizabeth Tyler, wife of Henry Tyler, granddaughter, and John Chiles, his grandson. An order in York Court, June 25, 1683, mentions Henry Tyler as "having married Elizabeth Chiles." So that there can be no doubt that Elizabeth Chiles was a daughter of "Mr. Walter Chiles," and granddaughter of Lt. Col. Walter Chiles. As­ suming that she was at the time 16 years old (generally the marriageable age) she was born about 1666. her mother may have been either the daugh­ ter of John Page, or the daughter of his wife by a former marriage, of which however there is no record . . . And so Col. Page in leaving a legacy and land to John Tyler, son of Henry and Elizabeth Tyler, calls him Grandson: and John Tyler, sometime after attaining 18 years of age, gave Col. Page's admiinstrator a receipt for the legacy styling himself in the same way, ''grandson of Col. John Page." (See Page Family). (Foot note). (1) WALTER CHILES, 400 a. Chas. Citty Co.

PAGES 212-214 IN "LETTERS AND TIMES OF THE TYLERS", VOL. 3 Issue of Henry (2) Tyler and Elizabeth Chiles, his wife: 5 Henry (3) who died September 27, 1684; 6 John (3) born before 1686, the date of Col. John Page's will in which he is mentioned: 7 Elizabeth (3) who died July 30. 1695: 8, Francis (3): 9 Henry (3) 10 Anne (3) who died in 1712. (Bruton Register and will of Henry Tyler). Henry, Tyler's wife Elizabeth died January 19, 1702-3 (Bruton Rigister). He married, 2dly., Sarah-who died in 1710, and 3rdly .Edith (whose "brother" was Thomas Hardway), who survived him and married Mathew Pierce. Edith's will was proved 1739. No issue by last wives. Francis (3) (Henry (2), Henry (1) was a student at William and Mary in 1702, marshal of the vice-admiralty Court in 1714, sub-sheriff of James 125 City in 1723. He married Rebecca-and had issue: 11, Henry (4): 12, Francis (4): 13, John (4). As Francis Tyler lived in James City in his latter days his will was perhaps lost with the destruction of the papers and books in the Clerk's office. His sons are not mentioned in the York records, except in the will of Henry (2) Tyler, and appear to have left this part of the_country. - Henry• (Henry•, Henry' received by the will of his father the ances­ tral homestead. He was Vestryman of Bruton Parish, but in 1752 went to Sussex County to live. Before doing so, he sold to Dr. John Amson all that tract (except the Palace land) granted in 1653 to his grandfather, Mr. Henry Tyler, which "descended to his son Henry who devised" the same by his will to the grantor (See Vol. I, p. 51). In ·sussex he was dis­ tinguished for raising a hog weighing 1200 pounds (Va. Gazette). He mar­ ried Sarah-and had one daughter, Mrs. Jones, who died before him. He died January 2, 1774, aged 73 (Albemarle Parish Register, Sussex County). His will was dated in 1772, and proved March 17, 1774. An abstract is as follows: To his godson John Tyler of Charles City, Attorney at law, he gave the place (500 acres) he then lived on in Sussex; 14 slaves and various articles of furniture; to Edward Champion Travis 40 shillings for a ring; to his nephew William Tyler a tract of land on south side of Poplar swamp, to said nephews William and John his mill; to William Tyler 15 Negroes; that a debt of 176 pounds current money due by him to Peter Jones' estate be paid out of a sum due to him from William Preston in England, the bal­ ance of said debt to be divided between Ann Tyler, to my godson John, Ann McKenzie, and the eldest daughter of Francis Tyler; to godson John Tyler that tract of land on the south side of the Poplar Swamp called the Pine Log Quarter of 275 acres. Residue of the estate to be equally divided between his two nephews before mentioned, who are appointed executors: witness: John Judkins,. Charles Judkins, and Gray Judkins. WILLIAM TYLER MENTIONED in the will must have been either the son of 11, Henry (4), 12, Francis (4), or 13 John (4), sons of Francis (3) Tyler. He lived and died in Sussex, and his will dated March 1, 1792, was recorded in Sussex May 3, 1792. In it he gives Nancy Tyler, daughter of John Tyler, 100 pounds current money, Peggy Tyler, daughter of his brother Frank, 400 pounds, current money, to nephews William Tyler and Frank, all the residue, appointing said William and John Massenberg Executors. John" (Henry', Henry' was a student at William and Mary Col• lege in 1704. Under the will of John Page he was given a tract of land in the forks of Powhatan swamp, James City, and legacy of 50 lbs. There was standing there a few years past a house pointed out as his residence. John Tyler's receipt for his legacy is dated 19 August 1706. In 1721, he received from the State Council 16 pounds sterling in consideration of the maiming of his Negro man Priamus, ''in firing the great guns on the anni­ versary of his Majesty's coronation." On May 2, 1727, Henry Cary and John Tyler, gent. "were appointed to view the Governor's house and report what reparations are necessary therein. He died soon after, as he is mentioned in his father's will in 1729 as deceased. He married Elizabeth-(perhaps Elizabeth Low, as she had a adughter of that name) and had issue: 15, John died October 2, 1714 (Bruton Register), 16, John, 17, Joanna, 18, Elizabeth Low, 19, Mary_ 20, Edith, 21, Anne, died in 1728. 16.

WITHERS FAMILY SEE VIRGINIA MAGAZINE OF HISTORY, VOLS. 6 AND 7-1898-99 Sir Richard Withers, ancestor of the poet, registered 1487 in the COLLEGE OF ARMS. Arg A. Chevron Gules between three Crescents sable; crest. a Rhinoceros or. George Wither, an English poet, was born in Hampshire in 1588, died in 1667. He was educated at Magdalen College, Oxford, afterwards entered himself a student of Lincoln's Inn: and in 1613 published his satires en­ titled "Abuses Stript and Whipt"; the seventy of which led to his confine­ ment in the Marshalsea. Having been released he took an active part on the side of Parliament when the Civil War broke out and sold an estate to raise a troop of horse. Under the Long Parliament he enjoyed various lucrative employment. The Withers Family of Stafford, Fauquier, etc. An Act passed by the General Assembly of Virginia in May 1758 (Henning VI 513) gives a clew to the English Home of the Family. It recites that John Withers, deceased formerly of the county of Stafford, Virginia 129 was in his life time seised in fee, amongst other lands, a tract in the parish of St. Paul in that County, containing 533 acres, and called Chotank: and by his will dated August 29, 1698, devised the same to his daughter Sarah Withers for her life and after her decease to his cousin William Withers; and his heirs, male,' and for default of such issue to Mr. Thomas Withers of Lancaster in Great Britain ... and the said Sarah Withers, daughter of the Testator, John Withers, married Christopher Conway, and by deeds dated June 12th and 13th, 1727 conveyed said land to Augustine Washington. It would seem from this that this branch of the family and probablY' all of the name in Stafford were from LANCASTER, England. John Withers, the testator, named in the act is called in the Stafford records, Captain John Withers, and appears to have been a man of property and standing. He married Frances, widow of Francis Dade, daughter of Col. Robert Townsend, member of the Virginia Council. The following entries from an old Withers Family Bible for which we are indebted to a lady of Lexington, Kentucky, give some of the descend­ ants of James and Elizabeth Withers, of Stafford County. It appears from . the register of Overwharton Parish that James Withers died June 6, 1746 in his 66th year, it is probable that he was son of John Withers and grand­ son of William Withers whose will has just been noticed.

JAMES THE SON of John Withers and Hannah his wife was born the 29th August, 1736. We are told in the will of URSULA WITHERS ALLEN, which was made August 12, 1789, probated Fauquier County, Virginia, September 23, 1793, that her father was James Withers of Stafford County. Now if James Withers was living at the time the will was made, it was most probably one of the younger James Withers named in the Bible record, who was her·father. 130 THE FAIR FAMILY AND ALLIED FAMILIES The Fair Family was originally from · Scotland. This family was of Presbyterian faith. During the religious persecution of Queen Ann of Scotland, they left Scotland and settled in County ANTRIM Ireland, where Samuel Fair was born in 1728. In 1772, he and his wife, Jane, his invalid father, and his four children immigrated to America. While enroute to America, his father and a young son were buried at sea. From Philadelphia, where their vessel landed, he came to South Caro­ lina and settled near Frog Level, now Prosperity, and engaged in planting. On the 3rd day of August 1776, Samuel Fair purchased of John Scott and Esther Scott (his wife), "A tract of land containing one hundred acres in Craven County, 96th District, North Side of Saluda and on the waters of Bush River bounded, etc." In witness whereof the said parties to these present have hereunto interchangeably set their hands and seal_s this day and year first above written.

THE CALDWELL FAMILY Many French Huguenots were expelled from their Native Land by the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. Some went to England, and Ireland, and then to America. There were three brothers, John, Alexander, and Oliver CAULDWELL, who first went to England, then settled in Scotland. They purchased an old bishopric estate and the name "CALDWELL" was given it by the English King. Some descendents of these brothers went to Ireland with Oliver Crom­ well (whose grandmother was a Caldwell), their names being Daniel, Joseph, John, Andrew and David. They settled in Counties Antrim and Kent. When Cromwell was called to the Protectorship of England and the crown restored to Charles II three of these brothers, John, David, and Andrew, fled to America. Joseph died in Ireland, while DANIEL continued there, though some of his children later went to America and settled in Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Virginia. There were three Caldwell Families living in 96th District in 1760-1770 viz: the family of William Caldwell (deceased) and Rebecca Walkup, whose illustrious sons Major John Caldwell, Major William Thomas Caldwell and Capt. James Caldwell were prominent in the Revolutionary War. Then there was the John Caldwell of Spartanburg District, whose son William Caldwell took a prominent part in defense of the Colonies. The old Family Cemetery of Nazareth, Spartanburg County, South Carolina is where most of the family are interred. But the family in which this writer is most interested is that of JOHN CALDWELL, a descendant of DANIEL who remained in Ireland and came to South Carolina about 1765-68. He first settled in the North Section of Dutch Fork (IN NEWBERRY SECTION), then in Ninety Sixth District. 151 He married Janett Helen Peden i.n Ireland, and brought his wife and one or two infant children to South Carolina. The descendants of JOHN CALDWELL AND WIFE JANETT HELEN PEDEN: I. Joseph, oldest son, (died 1808). Married Margaret Wilson and had James, Dan, and Samuel, and a minor son, Joseph at time of his death, and a daughter, Rebecca, who afterwards married Robert Redd. His wife was the daughter of Francis and Sarah Wilson. II. JAMES, the second son of the pioneer John, who died about 1848. He married Eliza Wilson who died 1842. She was a daughter of "Elder" James Wilson. Their children were James (he married Sarah B. Chap­ man); Joseph (married, first, Margaret Wilson, and second Angelina Turnipseed). Thomas Wilson Caldwell, and George Caldwell were chil­ dren of Joseph by his first wife, Margaret Wilson. There was a daughter by second wife who. married Joseph Hunter. Other children were James, Thomas, John, Eliza and Jane. III. A son, JOHN, married Rose Ann----, and had children: William, Mary P., Margaret, James, Janett, Samuel, and Archibald. This John Caldwell died November 29, 1844, aged 70 years. His wife Rose Ann died October 17, 1837. They are interred in the old Cannon's Creek Cemetery near Newberry, South Carolina. John left a will which can be found in Will Book (1) pages 195-197 and it was proved January 6, 1845, W. Wilson Ordinary of Newberry District. Box No. 107, package No. 280. Est. No. 2727. His wife is not named in his will as she had preceded him in death. IV. A SON DANIEL, married Janette McMaster, was daughter of James McMaster of that vicinity near Cannon's Creek. They had the following children: 1. Chancellor James J. Caldwell who married Nancy McMorries, daugh­ ter of James McMorris. 2. Eleanor (who married ARCHIBALD FAIR) and had James, Jane, and Calphemia. Dr. James William Fair moved to DeSoto Parish, Louisiana and practiced for more than fifty years, being one of the most prominent physicians of his time: The home which he built in 1849, is now occupied by one of the family and is situated on Polk Street, Mansfield, Louisiana. 3. MARY ANN probably married Andrew Russell. 4. Margaret. 5. ROSANNAH (married James Brown). V. William VI. Robert VII. Samuel (probable son). DANIEL CALDWELL, son of Pioneer John was born in 1769 shortly after his father and mother arrived in America. Pioneer JOHN CALDWELL who was known as John Caldwell, Esq. of Enoree and whose children's names are given above was CAPTAIN OF ONE OF THE REVOLUTIONARY WHIG SCOUTS. ("See Annals of Newberry" by O'Neal), page 159. His son Daniel, above, was too young to have served in this capacity. As CHANCELLOR JAMES J. CALDWELL, and his son, JAMES FITZ JAMES CALDWELL descendants of Daniel, son of the Pioneer, were such prominent characters' and influenced the affairs of State to a great extent, biographies of their lives have been taken from "Annals of Newberry" by Oneal, and "Newberry County of South Carolina" by George L. Summer and will be given in this history of the Caldwell Family. JAMES McMASTER died about 1819 and left children: Thomas, Mary 152 Conrad, Anne McCravey, .JANETTE CALDWELL (wife of Dan Caldwell), Rosannah (wife of .John Starke). Page 369 Newberry County by G. L.

CHANCELLOR .JAMES J. CALDWELL OF THE DUTCH FORK SOUTH CAROLINA Page 127-Annals of Newberry. Oneal. (CHANCELLOR CALDWELL) was a native of Newberry; he was the only son of Dan Caldwell. He studied at the Newberry Academy part of 1813 while Judge O'Neal was the teacher. After he ceased to teach, he prepared himself for college at Mount Bethel. He entered college in the .Junior Class just as it rose in December 1815. His father and mother both died in the great epidemic of .January 1816. He graduated in December 1817 and began the study of law with .Judge O'Neal. The latter part of 1818 he took charge of the Edgefield Academy, where he taught a year. He was admitted to the Bar in December 1819 or May 1820. He entered upon the practice of law at Newberry Court House, and single handed toiling on year after year he at last reached the front ranks of his profession. Page 128, .JAMES J. CALDWELL was. married in 1826, Nancy McMorries the eldest daughter of James McMorries Esq. He was elected to the Legislature in 1830 and continued a member until his election to the Solicitorship in December 1835. In December 1833 he was elected Brigadier General of the 10th Brigade. In 1844 he removed to ., Columbia. In December '46 he was elected Chancellor, in the place of Chancellor David Johnson, who was then elected Governor. He died Mon­ day, March 11th, 1850 leaving his wife and five children surviving him. This gentleman showed what could be accomplished by good manners, patience, and untiring industry. He possessed talents of high order, he spoke and wrote well. If he had a fault in these respects, it was that he was too diffuse. In all his' public elections before the people it is due to his memory to say he never treated to a drop of intoxicating drink. He possessed more equanimity than most men. Seldom, very seldom, did he lose his balance. He was a good man, a virtuous Lawyer, a faithful representative and a just Judge. Greater men have certainly been in the service of the state, but none of purer purpose. Page 44. Another family of the Caldwells was located in the Dutch Fork. Of this last family was Chancellor Caldwell. His father Dan Caldwell died in the great epidemic of 1816. Chancellor .James J. Caldwell died Monday( March 11, 1850. Page 44. Since writing this passage which was originally prepared "of this family is Chancellor Caldwell". the melancholy intelligence of the death of .James .J. Caldwell, a chancellor of the State. has reached me. Probably vvhile writing it he was breathing his last. Truly are we constantly in the midst of death. His age, not more than 50, promised many years of usefulness in his distinguished position but God who sees not as man sees, thought it best that his labors here should end. · His pure spirit released from it's earthly tenement on March 11, 1850 is, I trust at rest, in everlasting happiness. Well has he performed his part and by death his page of glory has been secured from any possible stain which a longer life might have made. 153 CALDWELL HOME This home is located nine and one-half miles from Newberry Court House (according to Mr. G. L. Summer to whom I extend my appreciation for much of the Caldwell data). It was built by JOHN CALDWELL, pioneer settler from Ireland, father of John and James Caldwell of the same com­ munity. (See Settlement of estate of Dan Caldwell). The home became a central place of congregations of live-stock growers in early times, and the place of lodging for many live-stock dealers who came there to buy new live-stock. Also, it was a home for many social gatherings in early times for the young people of that neighborhood. When John Caldwell came into the community he built, first, a small log house, which was about one-half mile from this home, which was later destroyed by fire. Then, he built in 1855 the present house, though tra­ dition is his son, John, had built it. Later, Dr. John Caldwell (the son) left it to his daughter, Caroline Caldwell, who lived there until her death. The house is built of heart pine lumber, hand-dressed, morticed, tongued and pinned with perfect joints, and fittings. The doors and sash were hand­ made, by the contractors, and are of unsual size and beauty. The home is finished with unique interior work, showing hand-carvings, large mouldings, beadings, and modernly attractive papering. There are eleven rooms, each sixteen by sixteen feet in size, except the kitchen. An attic above the second story is constructed to give well-built rooms. Page 166 "Newberry South Carolina" by G. L. Summer. Page 177. Same book. JAMES FITZ JAMES CALDWELL-born in Newberry County on September 19, 1837 was the son of Chancellor James J. Caldwell and Nancy (McMorris) Caldwell, of Newberry. He received his early education in the Newberry schools, and then attended the South Carolina College, Columbia, from which he graduated in 1857. He studied law under General James Simmons of Charleston, South Carolina, and was admitted to the Bar of South Carolina in 1859. Later, he went to Berlin, Germany, and studied several months. When the War Betwen the States started he volunteered for service in the Confederate Army:. served as an Officer: and wounded in battle. After the war, he returned to Newberry and began the practice of law. He soon became recognized as a well informed Constitutional lawyer in the State. He served as Attorney for the old National Bank of Newberry: Chairman of the County Democratic Executive Committee from its organi­ zation in 1860 until it's reorganization in 1876, and then as Chairman from 1877 to 1880. He became special Attorney for the Richmond and Danville Railroad Company, and for many large civil cases in the State and County Courts. He married in 1875 to Rebecca C. Conner of Abbeville District. He died on February 5, 1925, in the city of Newberry, and is buried at Rosemont Cemetery. He was a man of letters, too, being the author of several articles and books. He wrote the "History of McGowan's Brigade," (Snowden's History of South Carolina, under the caption, "Rem. of the War of Secession," Chap. LIII, p. 822, refers to this work).

(Carwithen) THE RIDGEWAY LINE "Ridgway and Ridgeway are of local origin from residence at "the ridge­ way," or the road over the back of the hill. In the earliest records this name was written as Ryderware. The accounts of this ancient family have been written by various historians, but in the "Ridgway Family Manuscript," by James Ridgway, to be found in the Long Island, New York, Historical Society, is the following: The pedigree of the family is best given by Sir Thomas de Ryderware, in the Chartulary prepared by him at great length in 1308, and which was published in the History and Antiquity of the County of Leicester by John Nichols, Vol. III, Part 2, pages 983, 984, 999, to 10007, 979, 994, and which I have followed as the basis of this history down to the children of Sir Thomas de Ryderware: The pedigree is in Vol. II, page 982; and Thomas and Wil­ liam, memtioned, page 1240 and 1310. A less extensive but similar pedigree appears in Glover's History of Derby, Part 1, Vol II, page 152. The same pedigree, continued down to Colonel Alexander Ridgway of London, but in brief form .... Sir Thomas de Rydeware carried his pedigree back to Asser, in the time of the Conquest. And also this: The earliest account of the family extant is that which is given by the great antiquarian authority Sir William Dugdale, in his Baronage of England, under the title of Earls of Chester; and also in his famous work, in eight folio volumes, the Monastician Anglicantum. There he gives a record of Leofric I, who signs himself Earl of Leicester, in the year A. D. 716 (the first who bore that title), and who was also Earl of Chester; and a record also of Leofric's descendants and successors to those Earldoms continuously 162 down to Eadwyne, at the time of the Conquest and who was grandson of the renowned Leofric III, and Godiva his wife, Countess of Coventry, which Leofric was son of Leofwine; who, from Leofwine to Eadwyne, were, for four generations, Dukes of Mercia, in addition to their earlier titles of Earls of Leicester, Ch-ester, etc.... In gathering together and preparing these memorials of the family-from my profession apperciating the exact value of exact evidence-it has been my earnest endeavor to be precise in all things, without indulging in any draft upon the imagination, and to present nothing that was unsupported by good evidence. (Bardsley: "Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames." James Ridg~ way: "Manuscript Genealogy of the Ri_dgway Family." pp. 4, 5, 6. (1) LEORIC OR LEURIC I, was born about 680 A.

King James speaks of him in 1616 as follows: "His well-beloved and faithful Leige subject and counsellor Thomas Ridgeway; Knight, Baronet, descended of an ancient family and of, his varied services as well as the time of our sister of happy memory, the later Queen Elizabeth, in the general naval expedition for the Island of Azores ... as also for the faithful and most acceptable services which needed in the time of our reigne; not only in the matters of great and serious_ consultation, but in our Parliaments of England and Ireland." Sir Thomas Ridgway married Cecily MacWilliams, sister and co-heiress of Henry Mac-Williams. At one time she was maid of honor to Queen Elizabeth. They were the parents of five children: 1. Robert, of whom further. 2. Edward, died without issue in 1638. 3. Mac Williams, died without issue. 165 4. Mary, died in infancy. 5. Cassander, married Sir Francis Willoughby of Willoughby Hall. (XXIV) SIR ROBERT RIDGWAY, second Earl of Londonderry, died March 18, 1640. He succeeded his father in 1631. He was the godson of Robert Cecil, who became Earl of Salisbury and Prime Minister. Sir Robert was knighted very young, and made the tour of Europe in 1611-13. Sir Robert Ridgway married Elizabeth, only child of Sir Simon Weston, Knight, of Litchfield, County Stafford. They were the parents of the following: 1. Weston Ridgway, third Earl of Londonderry. 2. Leicester, baptized March 12, 1621, at Torre Church. 3. Challons, baptized September 14, 1629, died in 1670. 4. Catherine, died young, buried in 1620. 5. Charlotte, died young, buried in 1627. 6. Lettice, baptized March 12, 1621, with her brother Leicester. 7. Robert, of whom further. (Ibid.) (XXV) ROBERT RIDGWAY, fourth son and youngest child of the second Earl of Londonderry, was the father of Richard the emigrant. He was baptized, August 24, 1631, at Torre Church, County Devon. and as the fourth son and youngest child of an English noble family, his position was of comparatively small consequence. Little of him is known except that he was married during the Protectorate, about the year 1653. He had one son, Richard, whose record follows in generation I of the family in America. (James Ridgway: "Manuscript Genealogy of the Ridgway Family," Vol. I, pp. 30, 37, 38, 42, 44, 47, 48, 56. 60, 61, 63, 108, 109, 114; Vol .III, p. 193, 196. Prince: "Worthies of Devon," pp. 548-51.

A further quotation from the Ridgway Family Manuscript by James Ridgway sheds interesting light on the relationship of the English and American families: As an old writer calls ''Sir Thomas Ridgway, ye Golden Knighte, ye first Earl of Londonberry, ye first of ye Baronets, ye first to plant a Protestant Colony in Ireland," so it might be said of his great-grandson, Richard Ridgway, that he was one of the first settlers of the first English town (Crewcorne) in the first township (Falls) in the first county (Bucks) in the province of Pennsylvania, after his arrival; his second child (Richard) being the first child of English parents born in the Province (17th day of 2d month 1680), before the coming of William Penn; and being also the first Justice of the Peace appointed by William Penn (August 4, 1683) and the proprietor of the first public house, hotel or inn (the Crown Inn) in that county ... The period between the baptism of Robert Ridgway, 24th August, 1631, and the arrival in the Delaware River of his son Richard, 12th September, 1679-forty-eight years-is veiled in obscurity. Several things contributed towards that condition. In the first place, Robert was the fourth and youngest, and therefore the most unimportant son of Robert, the second Earl of Londonberry, who died in 1640, before this son was nine years old; his eldest brother, Weston, succeeding to the Earldom. when twenty years of age. Robert married, probably about 1652, and Richard was born about 1653, in which year, 1653, Robert's brother Weston, then thirty-three years old, and three years married, sold the famous family home of Torr Abbey-for reasons which his­ toians regard as most unaccountable-and died in the year 1670, when 166 his son, Robert, became fourth Earl of Londonderry. The period in question was one of great commotion and trouble in England. This Robert was . . . thirteen years of age when the people had been pre­ paring for the great uprising, and the storm . . . broke out into Revo­ lution and open war, and the battle of Marston was fought; and he was aged fourt.een at Maseby, and was married when Cromwell had been in full control of the government for three years after the death of the King; and Robert's son Richard, the emigrant, was only about five years old when Cromwell died: and was married when Charles II had been on the throne about fifteen years. The feeling of forthcoming trouble and insecurity was coincident, in its jnception. with the birth of Robert Ridgway, in 1631. Already had the tide of emigration to the New World set in. Cromwell, then thirty-two years of age, with John Hampden, Pym and others had contemplated going thither, but were prevented by the government. Sir Henry Lawrence, Lord Robert Brooke, and Lord Say and Seal, with their associates, who had obtained a tract of land on the Connecticut River, sent out, in 1638, John Winthrop, Jnr., who had been commissioned by them to be their Governor for the Colony of Connecticut. The same causes which led to that movement, continued to prevail, and increased in energy as the years rolled on, until Robert Rid.e:way's son, Richard, in 1679, joined in the Quaker exodus from England. At that time, Richard's father, if living, was forty-eight years old. Born at Torquay, in Devonshire, the family home having been sold in 1653. he may have been one of the soldiers in Cromwell's army, and may possibly have lost his life during the struggle. Alexander Ridgway (in 1884) accounted for Richard Ridgway coming from Berks County, on the theory that his father may have been in the Parliamentary Army and the army having been disbanded in the west of England in 1660, when Robert Ridgway was twenty-nine years old, and his son Richard about seven years old, would probably account for that branch of the family being settled in that part of the country, possibly instead of returning to Devonshire. Richard, having married Elizabeth ChamberlJrn. about 1675, at Marlborough in Wiltshire, he with her and their only child, Thomas, left Welford, in Berkshire and took passage on board the ship "Jacob and Mary" of London, in the summer of the years 1679 ... Richard Ridgway perpetuated the family names. Himself bearing the same name as Thomas Ridgway, the first Earl of Londonderry's younger brother Richard, he named his eldest son Thomas, after his great-grandfather, the first earl of Londonderry, and also after his earlier ancestor, Sir Thomas Rideware, who was living A. D. 1300. His second son, he named after himself; and his grandson was named Robert, after Richard's father and grandfather. (James Ridgway: "Manuscript Genealogy of the Ridgway Family," Vol, III, pp. 131-33). Regarding the statement made in the Ridgeway Manuscript that Richard Ridgway came from County Berks, this is definitely proved by the records of Welford in that county. That other Ridgways were there is proven by the parish church. How related to Richard of our interest is undetermined. but it is certain that the parish registers show both the names of Chamberlyn and Ridgway. (The Family in America) (1) RICHARD RIDGWAY, the American p-i-ogenitor of this family, son of Robert Ridgway and grandson of Sir Robert Ridgway, second Earl of Londonderry, was born probably in Warwickshire or Berkshire, in 1654, and died in Burlington County, New Jersey, in 1722. The following record is found of him: Richard Ridgway and Elizabeth, his wife of Welford, in the County of Bark, Taylor, England, arrived in this river in the ship "Jacob and Mary" of London, in the 7th mo., 1679. Children: Thomas, born on the 25th 5th mo., 1677. and Richard born 27th day, 2nd mo, 1680. It is evident from this record that the parents and oldest child came from 16'1 Wallingford, Berkshire, and arrived in the river Delaware in the month of September, 1679, the second son, Richard, having been born subsequently. It is quite probable that the passengers of this ship landed at Burlington, New Jersey. Very soon after the arrival of Richard Ridgway in Burlington, he removed to Crewcorne, in the upper part of what is now Bucks County, Pennsylvania, in Falls Township, where he settled on a two hundred and eighteen acre tract. Here he engaged in farming and cattle raising and the ear-mark of his cattle was registered in Pnnsylvania in 1680. By deed dated February 7, 1697, Richard Ridgway purchased from John Hollingshead, a farm in the township of Springfield, Burlington County, New Jersey, where he thereafter resided. He gave one acre of land to the Society of Friends for a meetinghouse and burying ground, and it is still in use. Richard Ridgway soon bcame prominent in his community and as early as August 8, 1700, he was appointed one of the judges for Burlington County, which office he held as late as April, 1720, just three years before his death. His will was dated September 21, 1722, and proved April 5, 1723. Richard Ridgway married (first), doubtless in England, Elizabeth Cham­ berlayn, who died at Crewcorne, Pennsylvania, 1 mo, 31st, 1692. He married (second). February 1, 1693, Abigail Stockton. (Stockton II) Children of the first marriage: 1. Thomas, born in England, July 25, 1677, died at Little Egg Harbor, Burl­ ington County, New Jersey, August 24, 1724; married (first) Ann Pharo; married (second) Elizabeth Andrews. 2. Richard, born 2mo. 27, 1680, died in 1718; married (first) Mary Willits; married (second) Mrs. Mary (Stockton) Shinn Crispin. 3. Elizabeth, born 12mo. 17, 1682; married, in 1704, Richard Willits. 4.

THE FATHER OF SAMUEL RIDGWAY HAS NOT BEEN DEFINITELY ESTABLISHED. He was very probably born 1705-1715 in England and probably was the son of Dr. Ridgway of London, though this has not been verified. At any rate, we first find him, a man seemingly of prestige, in Virginia which record is as follows: "Journal of the Council of Virginia in Executive Sessions, 1737-1763. December 19, 1738. "To Sam'l Ridgway one thousand acres in Goochland County, Virginia, 168 joining to Henry Cary, Anthony Sharoon and John Pains Land on or near Willis's Creek." Va. Magazine of History ;md Biography Vol. 14, page 239. Same Court as above: "On the Pet'n of Sam'l Ridgway, Leave is granted him to take up 1,400 acres in GOOCHLAND ON THE BRANCH OF WILLIS'S CREEK, so as to include 1,000 acres already Surv'd for him and Thomas Edwards." Virginia Magazine of History and Biography, Vol. 15, page 240. So Samuel Ridgeway lived on Willis's Creek, a tributary on the south of the James River in what is now BUCKINGHAM COUNTY.

May we also note that Drury Mims and Ann Ridgway married April 2, 1750. Surety Drury Mims and SAMUEL RIDGWAY. Deed to Drury Mims from Samuel Ridgway will follow later.

Jesse W. Dillon, Secretary of the Commonwealth of Virginia, Richmond 12 reports on November 11, 1946: "An examination has been made of the General Index to Land. Patents and the only references to the name Ridgway are five patents containing 1400, 400, 235. 400 and 120 acres, issued to Samuel Ridgway between the years 1745 and 1762." We know that Goochland was divided and Albemarle County was taken from it and then Amherst and Buckingham Counties were taken from Albemarle. Hence in the Clerk's Office, Albemarle County, Virginia is found a deed FROM SAMUEL RIDGWAY TO DRURY MIMS, dated April 27, 1752. B. 1, P. 430. Please note that Drury Mims had recently married Ann Ridgeway. This deed calls for 406 acres in the county of Albemarle on the North Branches of Willise's Creek being part of a Greater quantity granted unto the said Samuel Ridgway, etc. This deed was signed by Samuel Ridgway and in the presence of us: JOHN RIDGWAY SARAH RIDGWAY JOHN NICHOLAS, Clerk W.

Mr. E. C. Lacy, Clerk of Court Hali­ fax County states: "We have one deed to Thomas Ridgway between 1782 and 1790, which deed is dated 1786." Mr. Lacy also states: "We have two deeds FROM Thomas Ridgway, one conveying 80 acres and personal property, Brush Creek, dated 1789, and one conveying 80 acres, dated 1790." In 1791 Thomas Ridgway was again back in Amherst County, Virginia, where on November 8, 1791 his son James Ridgway married Elizabeth Ten­ nison. Copy of original Marriage Bond obtained on May 27. 1946, Amherst Court House, Amherst, Virginia. In 1799 we find both Thomas Ridgway and his son, James Ridgway in Elbert County, Georgia.

THE FORTSON FAMILY It is generally understood that most sur-names ending in "son" origi­ nated in the Scandinavian Peninsular. This is supposted to have been the original home of the Fortsons, handed down in the family. From Scandi­ navia they migrated to Scotland, then to England, and then on to America. There was an advertisement in a western newspaper in 1902, one Mr. E. H. Fortson of England was advertising for a brother who came to America about 1880. An attorney was doing the advertising. He said the English brother had left an estate worth 80,000 pounds (about $400,000.00) which would go to the government if the lost brother were not found. This shows the family still in England. The earliest of this name found in America to this date (1945) is Fred­ erick Fortson, who lived in North Carolina in 1663. This information is gained from the will of his wife, Mary Fortson, sealed June 20, 1663, re­ corded November 16, 1665. (North Carolina Wills, by Grymes. P. 196. Orig­ inal Will in office of Secretary of State, Thomas Harris, Clerke, Teste). A patent was granted Mary, wife of Frederick Fortson, for a dividend of 2,000 acres, her heirs and assigns, "Ye said lands lying and being in Paspotand (Pasquetank) County, N. C. of which dividend there is disposed by ye said Frederick Fortson and myself, Mary Fortson, nine hundred acres of 176 which is my right and title and interest of which I do by these present assign and set over unto my said husband, to enable him to give bills of sail for ye nine hundred acres of land." "I, Mary Fortson, being sick yet having my senses, considering ye cer­ tainty of death and uncertainty of ye hours thereof, I commit my soul unto God Almighty and my body to earth, whence it came. I give and bequeath unto my son, Theopholus Fortson, a parcel of 1,100 acres to have and enjoy same during his life. If my son die before my husband, then he to dispose of said land according to pleasure. It is my intention and will that if my husband think fit to dispose of any said part of land, it will be lawful for him to do it, so the proceeds be employed in cattle for my son, Theopholus Fortson. I hereunto set my hand and seal June 20, 1663. Recorded November 16, 1665, and signed by Mary Fortson." It would seem that the Fortsons went down into North Carolina with the Scotch-Irish. Pasquotank County is in the extreme north-eastern part of North Carolina. (The above was given by Mrs. N. F. Porter of Richmond, Virginia, a genealogist, to Mrs. S. A. Fortson of Augusta, Georgia). In Caroline County, Virginia, in 1778 we find a Frederick Fortson and a Stephen Fortson in various law suits. Our earliest ancestor we are able to find, is THOMAS FORTSON, SR., whose will was presented at court in Caroline County, Virginia, in 1742, and same was proven by John Cunningham, one of the witnesses, and Eliza­ beth was made Administratrix. (See Will Book 1741-1746, Caroline County, Virginia, page 158). Elizabeth was his wife, he being her second husband. Her first husband was Ralph Richards, this was proved by a deed reading thus: "Elizabeth Johnson, widow of Aquilla Johnson, deceased, of Spotsylvania County, Virginia, for love and affection to my two sons, William and Thomas Fortson, slaves which I now hold by will of my first husband, Ralph Richards (14 slaves), with stocks, furniture and all other estate of which I may be possessed. Feb. 1, 1790." Benjamin Fortson witnessed the deed. Deed Book M, p. 218-1. Spotsylvania County, Va. This proves that she was married three times, the third husband being Aquilla Johnson, by whom she had three children: John, Aquilla, Jr. and Priscilla, who married George Goodlow. Johnson was quite a wealthy man owning many slaves (as many as 765) and much land. He died in 1784. She died in 1800, this proved by her will, leaving her estate to her son, William Fortson, for division. (Will Book F, p. 163.) It is believed that Elizabeth, wife of Thomas Fortson, Sr., was a WINN, but as yet sufficient proof has not been found, however several records have been found that infer as much. This name of Wynn was used down to Rachel Lucy WYNN Ridgeway, (grandmother of MARIELOU ROACH FAIR). (WINN from Montague Genealogy by George Wililam Montague). Winn is. from' the Welsh Wynne meaning ''white, fair." Griffin Winn came to Virginia in the Francis' Bona Venture, and in 1624 was living at Pasbehaighs, James City. Chri,:topher Winn came in the Safety, August 10, 1635, aged 20 years. Joseph Winn, aged 25 years, came in the George, August 21, 1635. 177 John Winn was a member of the House of Burgesses for· Amelia County, Virginia, 1774." Page 30 of Wylie Genealogy. THOMAS FORTSON, SR., born about 1716, probably in Caroline County, Virginia, but nothing is known of his birth or parentage. The records of Caroline County have been destroyed, leaving no earlier record of this Family. He died in Caroline County, Virginia in 1742, married about 1733 in Caroline County, Virginia, Mrs. Elizabeth (WINN?) Richards, widow of Ralph Richards: born about 1717: died in 1800, in either Spotsylvania or Orange Counties, Virginia. Their children: 1. William Fortson, born ---- 1734. 2. Thomas Fortson, Jr., born May 1, 1742. (Reference: Caroline County, Virginia, Will Book 1741-1746, p. 158 Spotsylvania County, Virginia. Deed Book M, p. 218-1: Will Book F, p. 163. Family Bible in the possession of the descendants of William Fortson). WILLIAM FORTSON, son of Thomas, Sr. and Mrs. Elizabeth (Winn?) Richards Fortson, was born about 1734 in Caroline County, Virginia, died April 8, 1812, in his 77th year; married Mrs. MILDRED (MARSHALL) Ferguson, widow, died April 14, 1822, at Lexington, Kentucky, probably daughter of John Marshall of Spotsylvania County, Virginia. She had two sons by her first husband. The following deed proves the children of Wil­ liam and Mildred, his wife: August 15, 1797: Elizabeth Johnson (widow of Spotsylvania County) to Wm. Fortson and Mildred his wife; Lucy Fortson, John Fortson, Wm. Fortson, Marshall Fort­ son, James Fortson, Richard Fortson, John Durrett and Frances, his wife, and grand-children of the said Elizabeth Johnson. Deed of gift.

Family Bible). THOMAS FORTSON, JR., son of Thomas, Sr., and Mrs. Elizabeth (Winn) Richards Fortson, was born May 1, 1742, in Caroline County, Virginia, the same year his father died; he died February 15, 1824, in Elbert County, Georgia, at the age of 81 years, 9 months, married about 1764 in Virginia, very probably Caroline County. Rachel Wynn_ born about 1744-46 in Caro­ line County, Virginia, died in Elbert County, Georgia before her husband, since she is not mentioned in his will. She was the daughter of Benjamin and Ann (Durett?) Winn. · Thomas Fortson removed from Caroline County, Virginia to Orange County. Here he enlisted in the Revolution, and· was appointed Lieut. on 178 May 24, 1780 in Captain Miller's Company. On December 6, 1780, John Thomas certified to Joseph Hawkins, A. C. P. that Thomas Fortson furn­ ished four hundred pounds of beef for the Army. On October 18, 1781, he furnished four hundred and fifteen pounds of beef for the use of the Revo­ lutionary soldiers (certified by Benjamin Winslow, deputy clerk of Orange County), and on May 28, 1784, four hundred and ninety pounds of Indian Meal to the Albemarle Barracks. (This alone is sufficient record for D.A.R. purposes. Thomas Fortson paid taxes on two hundred acres of land in Orange County in 1782 and until 1786. In 1799 he had forty acres taxed. This is the last year in which he paid a tax. In the first census of Virginia (1782 Thomas Fortson is reported in Orange County with eight white people and six blacks in a list taken by "Zachery Burnley, Gent." In 1785 he had nine in his family. Thomas Fortson had acquired land in Orange County as early as 1774, when William Stannard of Spotsylvania County conveyed to him a certain tract on January 26, of that year. By 1792 Thomas Fortson had sold most of his land, as the following deed was recorded in Orange County, April 14, 1792; the actual conveyance undoubtedly took place a year or two earlier: An indenture recorded April 14, 1792, between Thomas Fortson and RACHEL, his wife, of Orange County, whereby they conveyed to Andrew Fleck, a certain tract or parcel of land situate in said county. Thomas Fortson removed to Georgia, where he settled in ELBERT COUNTY, with his wife and some of his children. There on May 31, 1792, Thomas Carter deeded to Thomas Fortson three hundred and thirty acres of land on BEAVERD AM CREEK, part of a grant of eleven hundred acres to said Carter in 1785. On October 3. 1795, Thomas and Rachel Fortson conveyed eighty acres of this land to James Arnold. The will of Thomas Fortson, dated January 24, 1824, and probated March 13, 1824 reads as follows: WILL OF THOMAS FORTSON In the name of God Amen. I, Thomas Fortson, in the County of Elbert and state of Georgia being of present mind and sound memory and calling to mind the uncertainty of human life do make and ordain this my last will and testament in manner and form following.

My will and desire further is and I do hereby give and bequeath unto my daughter.

My will and desire further is that my faithful two old negro slaves to wit: Cate and his wife Rachel have the privilege of choosing their master 179 in the family and the person so chosen be bound to take them at the appraised value of three disinterested persons to be chosen by my Executors but in the case the appraisers should consider them of no value, to be a charge, then will say what compensation the master so chosen should have out of my estate, provided he will agree to take charge of them. And I do further desire that my faithful servant named Chany, should receive out of my -estate the sum of fifty dollars in money for her faithful services and attention to me during my last illness. And lastly I do constitute and appoint my son, Richard Fortson, Executor to this my last will and testament here-by revoking all former wills by me made.

REVOLUTIONARY SERVICE OF ANN SATTERWHITE "ANN SATTERDWHITE AMONG THE CLAIMANTS AGAINST THE 192 PUBLIC for impressments made for horses, provissions and c. taken for public service. O.B. 1773-82, p, 577." Found in Valentine Papers Vol. III, page 1484: Since John Satterwhite and Francis Satterwhite, both sons of Ann Satterwhite fought in the Revolution and the property (horses, Provisions, etc), were impressed for public use during period of 1773-82, it is very evident that she contributed to the establishment of American Independence.

197 CAPTAIN THOMAS GRAVES AND FAMILY (Note) The following data is obtained from the writings of the late WILLIAM M. SWEENY of New York City and his wife Mrs. Leonore Hig­ ginbotham Sweeny, both descendants of CAPT. THOMAS GRAVES. (My heartiest appreciation to them for all the excellent data they have given me). "Few names are more familiar to the student of the early history of Virginia than that of Captain Thomas Graves, who came to Virginia in the Mary and Margarett, Captain Newport, and settled at Jamestown in 1608. His wife, Katherine, (maiden name not known), and two sons, John and Thomas Graves, Jr., came at a later date. He appears to have taken an active part in the affairs of the infant colony from the very beginning. On one occasion, while on an exploring expedition with Capt. John Smith, he was captured by the Indians and taken to Opechancanough's town, where he was held for ransom. Thomas Savage was sent by Smith to recover Graves. In this he was successful. Before securing Grave's release, however, some difficulty arising with the Indians, Savage and three others offered to fight thirteen of the Indians at once, but the latter declined the challenge. Captain Thomas Graves was a member of the FIRST LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY IN AMERICA and, with Mr. Walter Shelley, sat for Smythe's Hundred when they met at Jamestown, July 30, 1619." "Captain Thomas Graves was one of the committee to pass on the rules and laws of the Great Charter in that year. Also, he was one of a committee appointed 'to peruse the second booke of the great Charter!' He was a Burgess from "Accowmacke," 1629-30, and again in 1632, and held other prominent offices." In Tyler's Quarterly Historical and Genealogical Magazine, Volume XXII, No. 3, January 1941 you will find the following photostat: "A reporte of the manner of proceeding in the General Assembly convened at JAMES CITY, in Virginia, July 30, 1619", •etc. From a document of record in the Public Record Office, LONDON, England." On the next page in same Quarterly is another photostat as follows: "Portion of a document of record in the Public Record Office, London, England, entitled: 'A Muster of the Inhabi­ tants of the Easterne Shore, over the Baye, February ,16, 1623. Capt. Thomas Graves, his Muster. Captain Thomas Graves in the Mary and Margrett 1607," etc. · FRANCIS GRAVES, SR., the third son of Captain Thomas Graves and wife Katherine was born in Virginia and in 1642 is mentioned in the records of Northampton County where he then resided, as the "Orphant of Captain Thomas Graves, deceased." So we see that Capt. Thomas Graves was dead by 1642. "Minutes of the Council and General Court of Colonial Virginia, 132. A Court at James City 8th February 1627 It is ordered that Capt. Thomas Grayes shall have a Commission to Command the Plantation of Accawmacke." 198 "Minutes of the Council and General Court of Colonial Virginia, 165. By Virtue of an Adventure of five and twenty pounds Capt. Thomas Graves received a patent for 200 acres of land, located in the Eastern Shore." You will find this document on page 387, William & Mary Quarterly, Second Series, Vol. 15, No. 4, October, 1935, in article by the late William M. Sweeny. Patent Book No. 1. Nugent: Cavaliers & Pioneers, Vol. 1, 36. "Sir John Harvey to John Graves, 600 acres, August 9, 1637, page 443. Elizabeth City County, adj. Capt. Adam Thorogood, about a pole to the E. of the dwelling house of Oliver Vanneck. Due by descent from his father, Thomas Graves, who trans. at his own costs himself, his wife, 2 sons and 8 persons; Katherine Graves, John and Thomas Graves, Jr., Henry Singleton, Thos. Edge, Robt. Phillips, Thos. Griggs, Thos. Phillips, Frances White, Wm. Symbee, Joane Packet." "Captain Thomas Graves, Esq., is recorded as being present as a Justice at a Court held for Accomac County, April 13, 1635, and at a Court held September 13, 1635, he was appointed a Vestryman of Hungar's Parish. He attended a meeting of the Vestry held September 29, 1635, at which it was agreed to build a parsonage house upon the Glebe land by Christyde." Page 388 as above. Page 389. "The last reference to Capt. Thomas Graves as LIVING is in November, 1635, when he is mentioned as a witness to deed from Ann Harmer, wife of Mr. Charles Harmer, to Robert Chapman, of Accomac. Order Book No. 1, p. 2, Northampton County, Virginia) "At Accomac January Court, 1636, his name DOES NOT APPEAR AMONG THOSE reported "present" or "absent." "He appears to have died at some date between November, 1635 when he witnessed the deed of Ann Harmer. and January, 1636, when the Accomac January Court was held, for under date of January 5, 1636, we find Anthony Wills sueing Mrs. Graves." From the records we conclude that "CAPT. THOMAS GRAVES, resided du.ring his lifetime at the old Plantation, on the shores of Chesapeake Bay, in what is now Northampton County, Virginia." The following chart can be deduced from an article entitled: CAPT. THOMAS GRAVES AND SOME OF HIS DESCENDANTS by the late William M. Sweeny of New York City on pages 383-394, William and Mary Quarterly, Second Series, Vol. 15, No. 4, October 1935. I. CAPTAIN THOMAS GRAVES FROM ENGLAND, died 1635~36. Wife Katherine. Three sons: 1.

Some of them were even sitting dowii at breakfast with our people at their tables, when at eight of the clock on that fatal Friday morning, March 22nd-April 1, 1622 (save where the English had been notified the night before) for 140 miles up and down the river on both sides, they fell upon the English and barbarously murdered them, not sparing age or sex, man, woman, or child, etc." "The exact number killed may not be certainly known." EDWARD HILL ESTIMATED THE NUMBER 400 and odd. (He evidently was a substantial farmer in Virginia in 1622 since his estimate was published). Page 427, same book. Page 512. Virginia, Novembe:r 28, 1622-August 1923. "Of all Mr. Gookin's men which he sent out the last year we found but seven-the rest being all killed by the Indians, and his plantation ready to fall to decay." After the arrival of these ships the colonists appealed "To God to send us some ships with provisions." APRIL 24, EDWARD HILL WROTE LETTERS FROM ~LIZABETH CITY TO HIS BROTHER, MR. JOHN HILL, mercer in Lombard Street (London) and to his FATHER-IN-LAW, Mr. Richard Boyle (married Miss Boyle) in BLACKFRIARS, telling that he had lost last year, by reason of 202 the Indians 100 lbs. worth of cattle and "I fear this. will be as bad, for this is the worst year here that ever I saw like to be." On page 623 we find that EDWARD HILL WAS DECEASED IN 1624. Thus we see that EDWARD HILL was a prosperous farmer 1622-1624 in the Colony of Virginia. He died in 1624. We quote "Cavaliers & Pioneers" by Nell Marion Nugent, Patent Book No. 1. Part 1. page 6. "Thos.

Names of families and locations of land signify the relationship.

We have the will of Col. Nicholas Hill. His second wife was Silvestra Bennett, daughter of Edward Bennett. Page 213 Wm. & Mary Quarterly. Vol. 7, describes the Edward Bennett Plantation and states "Silvestra, the wife of Major Nicholas Hill, is his daughter." This deed was dated April 8, 1663 in Isle of Wight County, Virginia. Major Nicholas Hill and second wife Silvestra had six children, Viz: George, Martha Hillman, Mary, Anna, Rich­ ard, (who died in infancy) and Elizabeth. Agnes, Ralph, and Nicholas were children by his first wife. Silvestra Bennett was christened October 25, 1630 and died 1706 Isle of Wight County, Virginia. Her mother was MARY BOURNE. Quote Major Nicholas Hill's will: "To wife and her six children all my lands, moneys, etc. not mentioned in this will belonging to me in either ENGLAND OR VIRGINIA." Hence the Virginia family of Hills heired property in England. "Officers of Isle of Wight County, Members of House of Burgesses 1619- 1775 William and Mary Quarterly, Volume 7, page 314. 1663 September-Isle of Wight County., MAJOR NICHOLAS HILL, Capt. Joseph Bridger, Dr. Robert Williamson. 1659-60 March Isle of Wight County. Col. Robert Pitt, MAJ. RICH (NICH) HILL, Maj. John Bond, Mr. Nicholas Smith" From the above we find that Maj. Nicholas Hill was a Burgess in 1659-60 also 1663 in Isle of Wight County, Virgiina.

ROBERT HILL WITH WIFE MARY WERE IMMIGRANT ANCESTORS and came to Isle of Wight County, Virginia in 1642. CHILDREN of Robert Hill and wife MARY, born in Isle of Wight County, Virginia: 1. SION HILL born 1653 or 1654, married Elizabeth 1677. Widow of John Splitimber. 2. ROBERT HILL, born about 1667-70, married Elizabeth, probably a daughter of William Halleman. In 1704 Robert Hill, the son, is made one of the appraisers of the estate of William Halleman. December 15, 1725 Robert Hill of Isle of Wight County, Planter, Elizabeth his wife, deeded to Jos. Pettiway, Planter, of Surry County, consideration of 5 shillings, land in Terrapin Swamp in Surry County on Anselow Branch. Witnesses William Smith, William Baldwin, Allen Warren. In this will, dated April 10, 1740, Brunswick County, Virginia he mentions his wife Elizabeth, son John. daughters Margaret, Elizabeth, Amey and Mary. 204 SION HILL, SR. AND WIFE ELIZABETH SION HILL, SR., son of Robert Hill and Mary, his wife, was born about 1654 in Isle of Wight County, Virginia, and died after 1703. About 1677 he married Elizabeth, widow of John Splitimber, probably a daughter of Nich­ olas Smith of the same county. During the same year, at Southwarke, in Surry County, Virginia, Sion Hill was granted a commission of administra­ tion on the estate of said John Splitimber, he having "married the relict" of said Splitimber. In Volume 1, Part 2 of Wills and Deeds on page 427, Isle of Wight County, Virginia, is found the following deed (1951). Mr. R. A. Edwards, present Clerk of Court, states in a letter that the former type of writing is almost illegible. Date of deed, February 9, 1678, Signed: Sion Hill, Wife Eliza Hill. "Whereas George Archer by writing 30th January 1653 did assign to MY FATHER, ROBERT HILL, deceased, a plantation in Isle of Wight County described as a sale from George Bressy to George Archer 7th December -­ now in possession of Edward Wickens and for 4390 lbs. of Tbco. paid by Edmund Wickens sell all right in same." Elizabeth, Wife signs dower. In 1680, Sion Hill and Nicholas Smith were among the titheables in Surry County, Virginia, and in 1703 SION HILL, SR., Richard Hill, and Sion Hill, Jr., were among the titheables in Middle Parish, Southwarke, Surry County, Virginia. At the May and September, 1677, terms of the Surry County Court, a number of persons were convicted and fined for depredations committed dur­ ing Bacon's Rebellion in 1676. SION HILL SERVED on juries at both of said terms of Court. The name of SION HILL is on a list of freeholders and inhabitants of Surry County, Virginia, qualified to serve as foot soldiers in the Militia in the year 1687. (COLONIAL SERVICE). SION HILL received a land grant of 420 acres in Upper Parish of Surry County, Virgiina for importing nine persons into the Colony. His patent therefor, dated 28th July 1681, is recorded in Virginia Land Office Records, Book 7, at page 11. SION HILL WAS LIVING in Surry County, Virginia in 1680 as the following deed proves. "Ralph Hill sells to Samuel Swan of Surry County land which Col. Nicholas Hill, father of Ralph Hill possessed in Isle of Wight and bequeathed to his son, Richard Hill, who dying in infancy, it was diverted to Ralph Hill as elder brother and he now sells to Samuel Swan, 9th September 1680." Signed: SION HILL JOHN GOWREL." Isle of Wight County by J. B. Boddie. The above also shows that Nicholas Hill's family and that of ROBERT HILL AND WIFE MARY lived in adjacent districts and were associated with each other.

CHILDREN BORN IN SURRY COUNTY, VIRGINIA OF SION HILL. SR. AND WIFE ELIZABETH . I. Robert Hill, born about 1682 or 1683, married Tabitha, died Hali­ fax County, North Carolina.

Witnesses: Thomas Halleman, Sr. and Jr. In 1725 Robert Hill, Jr. was granted more land in Isle of Wight County, 233 acres on north side Fountains Creek at Robert Hill's line. Robert Hill was styled Junior because his uncle Robert was living in the same neighbor­ hood. On May 22, 1725, Robert Hill was granted 160 acres on south side Foun­ tains Creek, Northampton County, North Carolina. (Moved to North Caro­ lina). On October 14, 1737 Robert Hill deeded to Thomas Deloach, Jr. 80 acres of this grant and on the same day Deloach deeded the same property to Thomas Tarver. In 1738 Robert Hill was granted 200 acres on South side of Blue Marsh, Edgecombe County, North Carolina and on August 1, 1740 he conveyed 75 acres of this land to William Hickman. Witnesses: Abner Green and Thomas Hill. Robert Hill entered land in Edgecombe County, North Carolina, part of which became HALIFAX COUNTY, North Carolina in 1758, as follows: 200 acres in 1738 in Edgecombe. 300 acres in 1742 in Edgecombe-Page 619 Clarke's Records, N. C. 200 acres in 1745 in Edgecombe-Page 767 Clarke's Records, N. C. Along with Robert Hill came ABRAHAM GREEN. "1734-35 paid Robert Hill for ferryage. 18 lb. 53 o d. "Vol. 4, page 149- Clar\ce's Records of North Carolina. The will of ROBERT HILL is in the records of North Carolina Historical Commission, Raleigh, and is dated June 10, 1762. It is also in Halifax Court House, Halifax, North Carolina. This will was proved at April Court 1766, Halifax County, North Carolina. In it he mentions his children, wife Tabitha, and also grandson John Chapman. (See will in this book.) The executors were sons Abner, Sion, and Green: Witneses: Thomas Thrower and Wilson Williams. To son Sion, he left the plantation "wheron we now live on south side of Blue Marsh, etc. II. The second son of Sion Hill, Sr. and wife Elizabeth was RICHARD HILL born about 1686, judging from the time he appeared in the list of tithables. He attested a deed from Robert and Tabitha Hill to Henry Brown in 1721, received a patent for 200 acres in 1728 which land in 1735 Green Hill sold to William Evans. III. SION HILL, JR., born about 1687 married Elizabeth Browne, a daughter of Capt. William Browne and his wife Jane Meriwether. She was a granddaughter of Lt. Col. William Browne. His wife very probably died before her grand-father, Colonel Browne, who made his will in 1705. Col. Browne left 250 acres on Black Water to SION HILL. "The said Sion Hill having already made satisfaction of the same, all the rest of my estate "To my son William Brown and appoint him my sole executor.

LINAGE CHART WILLIAM HILL, son of Sion Hill, Jr., and his first wife, Elizabeth Browne, had one son, William Hill, who was born in Virginia about 1710 and died in Surry County, N. C. in 1787. He married in Virginia about 1736. Susanna Smithers. They had nine sons and one daugh­ ter. William Hill was a delegate from Surry County, North Carolina, to the Provincial Congress which met at Hillsboro, North Carolina, on August 20, 1775. This Congress which met nearly a year before the Decla­ ration of Independence, set up in North Carolina, the first self-governing commonwealth independent of British authority, among the thirteen American Colonies. 206 Elizabeth Hill, the only daughter of William and Susanna Hill, was born in Caroline County, Virginia, September 18th, 1747. She was probably named for her grandmother, Elizabeth Browne, wife of Sion Hill, Jr. In 1765, she married William Halbert, son of Joel Halbert. In 1786, she and her husband moved to Pendleton District, South Carolina, and settled on the Saluda River in what is now a part of Anderson County. William and Elizabeth (Hill) Halbert were the parents of thirteen children, of whom the ten eldest were born in Virginia and the three youngest were born in Pendleton Dis­ trict, South Carolina.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the seal of said Court, at my office in Halifax, North Carolina, this the 10th day of June, 1948. GEORGE A. HUX Clerk Superior Court Halifax County North Carolina Official seal affixed thereto. THOMAS HILL, Revolutionary soldier, patriot, and Lord's Proprietor for land grants for Earle of Granville, was born about 1725, most probably in Isle of Wight County, Virginia, the son of Robert and Tabitha Hill of Isle of Wight County, Virginia, and Halifax County, North Carolina. His wife was Sarah. According to his will he owned 80 slaves in 1787 when his will was written. His place of residence was Halifax County near Scotland Neck, North Carolina. This was Edgecombe County prior to 1758. Thomas Hill entered land in Edgecombe County, May 5, 1742. Also 220 and 500 acres July 27, 1743 in Edgecombe County, North Carolina. He was paid 222 lbs. by the Courts of North Carolina in 1787 for some service rendered. Clarke's records do not state the type of service. He evidently was a Regulator in 1768 and very probably participated in the Battle of the Alamance where the FIRST BLOOD WAS SHED FOR AMERI­ CAN INDEPENDENCE. (See Clark's Records N. C.). Thomas Hill entered or bought land, 640 acres, in JOHNSTON COUNTY November 2, 1752 which is described as follows: "Beginning at a pine on the north Side of Swift Creek and runs south 320 poles to a pine, thence west 320 poles to a pine, thence north 320 poles to a pine, then east 320 poles to first Station. Dated 2nd November 1752." CAPTAIN JAMES WOOTEN OBTAINED LAND IN JOHNSTON CO. 31st October 1752. Only one day elapsed between Thomas Hill and Capt. James Wooten entering land in this new County of Johnston. They very probably went down from Northampton and Edgecombe counties together. Their locations of land not adjacent but near each other. John Green was closely associated with Capt. James Wooten as we shall see, and signed the marriage bond of Benjamin Hill and Mary Wooten. Along with Thomas Hill 210 in Edgecombe County came Green Hill I, his brother, and sons of Robert and Tabitha, entering 100 acres in Bertie County. Richard Silvester entered 200 acres in Hide County, July 27, 1743. Thomas Hill sold 250 acres of this land in Johnston County to Day Wright in 1763. It is very probable that his son, Richard, wife Frances, in Johnston County lived on some of this land on Swift Creek for in 1770 Richard and Frances Hill sell land. In 1782 we find THOMAS HILL, the son of Thomas and Sarah Hill, in Johnston County, North Carolina. Here in Johnston County the marriage of Thomas Hill, Jr. and Elizabeth Garner took place January 5, 1782. Witnesses: John Garner, Richard Baily and William Bryan. To this date, 1782 both Thomas Hill, Jr. and brother Richard, reside in Johnston County, North Carolina. In November 1785 Benjamin Hill, the son of Thomas Hill of Halifax County, North Carolina received his first deed in Johnston County, North Carolina from John Gulley, Jr. dated 17th May 1785. "North Side of Buffalo Swamp 125 acres requested at May Court 1785." This Buffalo Swamp is not a great distance from Swift Creek where Thomas Hill entered or bought his 540 acres of land in 1752. Benjamin Hill Ed.~o secured a deed for 220 acres dated 1785 making a total of 345 acres purchased by him in Johnston County 1785. He was 24 years of age at this time as he was born December 13, 1761.

In the 1790 U. S. Census BENJAMIN HILL is living in Johnston County, and is the only Benjamin Hill of North Carolina at this time. On January 27, 1791 he goes back to Halifax County to see his mother, Sarah Hill, when she makes her will, his father Thomas Hill having died in 1789. Benjamin Hill is a witness to Sarah Hill's will on above date. This fact proves con­ clusively that Thomas and Sarah Hill of Halifax County, North Carolina, with will, were the parents of BENJAMIN HILL OF JOHNSTON County, North Carolina. Thomas Hill left his son, Benjamin, much property, but his mother does not. Benjamin Hill remained a resident of Johnston County until 1815 when he and his family removed across the county line to Wake County, North Carolina. Here he lived until 1827 when he removed to Greene County, Alabama where he purchased land in January 1828. Descendants of Benjamin Hill should be proud of his service both as a Courier in the Revolution and a private in his youth. See Pension Record in this book.

VOL. 22-PAGE 588. CLARKE'S RECORDS OF NORTH CAROLINA Robt. Bignall to Governor Burke- Dear Sir: Your excellency will pardon me for the liberty I take in Troubling you. Mr. Benjamin Hill went through this town yesterday morning from Halifax with Letters for General Caswell, General Lillington and Colonel Arm­ strong. He told that he had a verbal Message from Col. Long to Capt. Hall, to hold himself in readiness to move at a moments warning. This Sir, makes me conjecture that something very alarming has happened. I expect that instead of General Wayne it is Lord Cornwallis that is expected at Halifax and that a spy or Spies have been sent from the enemy to Halifax informing that Gen. Wayne was moving towards that place, but how this could happen I am at a loss to know. However I wish to guard against the worst and I wish your Excellency would be so very obliging as to give me a few lines by the bearer who I send on Purpose that should the Enemy be expected at Halifax what few good people are in this neighborhood may have an oppor­ tunity to succor themselves and some little property; should the Enemy be advancing it will not be in my power to remove any of the Public To­ bacco from this Warehouse. The River is not more than Twelve inches deep just below this for several miles. Not a wagon to be got in these parts upon any Emergency. I therefore wish, should you think this Place in Danger, that the Quarter Master Col. Long, would send me a Wagon to remove such Things as I have on hand belonging to the Public. I have heretofore been under the Necessity to hide such as I found. I can't learn that the Eenemy have done any damage to the Salt Works as was expected on their retreat 215 to Wilmington. Col. Gorham discharged all his men as soon as he found the Enemy had retreated. I have the Honor to be with due regard Your Excellency's most Obedient and Humble Servant R. BIGNALL. In the State Archives of North Carolina at Raleigh are four certificates paid to Benjamin Hill for "HORSE HIRE" AND "STOCKINGS." A copy of same is in Washington, D. C. N. S. D. A. R.

In 1800 and 1810 Census Records of Johnston County, North Carolina, Benjamin Hill is living in Johnston County He sells his property or rather moves across the line to Wake County in 1815 and remains until January 12th 1828 where we find him purchasing land in Green County, Alabama. Here he purchases the east half of the north quarter of Section 5, Township 22, Range 2 east. The second tract is in same Township and Range and is purchased on February 9, 1829. On July 6, 1830 he deeds to Berry Hill, his son, the south ½ of West ½ of N.E. r/4 of Section 5, Township 22, Range 2 East. On July 29, 1834 he sells to Berry Hill three other tracts of land. Ere this, Benjamin Hill has made his will on October 29, 1831. The witnesses to his will were Thos. Riddle, R. C. Garner and Josiah O'Neal. Remember William Wooten, the brother of Mary Wooten Hill married Winifred Oneal. The writer of this sketch has copies of the above deeds. Green Hill III, a second cousin of Benjamin Hill moved to Greene County Alabama and bought lands almost adjacent to Benjamin Hill. Green Hill III died in 1830 and his wife Mary Long Hill and sons Gabriel Hill and Nicholas G. Hill were Administrators.

HILL, BENJAMIN-PENSION RECORD-R. 4993 Alabama County of Greene On this 22 day of September 1832 personally appeared in open court before Anderson Crew Judge of Circuit Court now sitting, BENJAMIN HILL a resident of county and state aforesaid, of the age of seventy-one years the 13th day of December next-following Declaration to obtain benefit of Act of Congress-June 7th 1832. That he entered service of U. S. under following named officers-as a volunteer in March he thinks near the 1st of March 1780 in the 20th year of his age in Chatham County, North Carolina, under Capt. Asa Briant, Lieutenant Benjamin Johnson and Ensign Thompson Curry in Col. Dudley's regiment, commanded by Dudley himself. We met at Ramsey's Mill where one Col. Reed, regular officer, took highest command; from thence to Camden, South Carolina-soon after arrival in neighborhood of Camden attached to army of Gen. A. Greene, who with his regular miiltia forces commenced at attack on Camden-British fell back, etc. Skirmished in neighborhood of Camden-British evacuated place. Soon after Col. Dudley discharged his whole regiment-he thinks his dischg. bore date of 13th 1780 May, though his tour did not end until after his arrival home-about 3 months from time he was drafted. He recollects seeing Col. Lee's horse and Washington's also, though he did not see either Officer in the engage­ ment-both horses were Bays. This is the only Tour of Duty he performed in the Revolution. He continued to reside in Johnston County from the time of his service until 1815, then he removed to Wake County where he resided until the latter part of 1827 when he removed to Green County, Alabama, where he arrived in January 1828 and has resided ever since. His discharge was filed with his father's papers when he returned home and he has never seen it since. He has no record of his age now, though he has often seen it in an old prayer Book that Belonged to his father and is 216 distinct in his recollection as above stated. Recalls a Capt. Cowel who serv­ ed as adjutant and a Capt. Harris, both of Col. Dudley's regt. William Richardson in his own neighborhood and Parson Edmond Pace and many others would testify favorably as to his reputation. His BENJAMIN X HILL Mark Edmond Pace, clergyman, and William Richardson, both of Greene County testify for him. (date as above).

William Richardson in open court deposeth that he has been acquainted with Benjamin Hill 35 or 40 years, most of the time near neighbor to him in North Carolina and also in Greene County Reason for rejection not stated. Death date not shown.

(for Twenty Thousand dollars) for the Administratrix and administrators was dated the 13th day of September, 1830 so Greene Hill must have died some time near this date. Benjamin Hill and Greene Hill III were second Cousins. Both died in Greene County, Alabama.

The homes of Benjamin Hill of Johnston County, North Carolina and Green Hill III of Louisburg, Franklin County, North Carolina were about 25 or 30 miles distant. Green Hill III was the son of the Great Methodist minister Green Hill II, who moved to Tennessee in 1799 and is buried only a few miles south of Nashville, Tennessee. Green Hill III moved to Wil­ liamson County, Tennessee, thence to Green County, Alabama. His land was located in sections 9 and 10, Township 22, Range 2 East, Green County, Alabama. Mary Hill his wife succumbed in 1845, that is her estate is ad­ ministered on January 13, 1845. Benjamin Hill was a first cousin of Green Hill II, their fathers, Green Hill I, and Thomas Hill being brothers and sons of Robert Hill of Isle of Wight County, Virginia and Halifax County, North Carolina. We learn from the will of Benjamin Hill and the 1840 U. S. Census of Greene County, Alabama that he had given most of his property to his children, Berry Hill, his third son receiving much. Benjamin Hill's sons as named in his will were Wooten, Sherwood, Berry, James, and Jesse. We now turn our attention to Berry Hill, born February 7, 1807 in Johnston County, North Carolina, married Elizabeth Reach in Wake County, North Carolina on October 3, 1827, moved to Greene County,· Alabama in 1828 and after living there for many years removed to Caddo Parish near Shreveport, Louisiana in 1850. Here he died September 23, 1888 and his wife, Elizabeth Reach born January 19, 1807 in Wake County, North Caro­ lina, died June 26, 1885 in Caddo Parish, Louisiana. They are buried in the Old Doty Cemetery and their tombstones are crumbling beneath the pines of this former cemetery. Mary Jane Hill Roach (mother of Marielou Roach Fair) here visited her grandparents in her early childhood and remembers them distinctly. These tombstone records were the key to the information in regard to the Hill Line.

Being the tract of land that Jones Spell lived on. William and Ann of Edgecombe had many sons, but we know that he had a son JAMES WHOM HE NAMED IN HIS WILL. His sons were Amos, Joshua, Joel, James, John, Shadrach, William and probably Jesse. There must have been Jesse Wooten, the son of William and Ann and JESSE, the son of Captain James Wooten. By consulting your map of this section of the country it is clearly shown that WILLIAM WOOTEN THE ELDER. owned a LARGE TRACT OF LAND IN THE SOUTHWEST OF EDGECOMBE COUNTY, which, bordered on Pitt County and Johnston Counties and it is threfore, well seen that the lands of Shad­ rack and William his sons who settled in Pitt County adjoined him.

Captain JAMES WOOTEN WAS CAPTAIN OF THE JOHNSTON COUNTY MILITIA FROM 1754-55 until 1774 when the general muster was held in Johnston County, North Carolina. As we have shown he sold his residence and home tract of land in Johnston . County in 1775 and removed to Edgecombe County. We find nothing more of him until 1792 when his father's will named him as a recipient of land on Hog Pen and Causway Branches. Jesse Wooten, SON OF JAMES WOOTEN,, son of WILLIAM OF EDGE­ COMBE, son of RICHARD, son of RICHARD, son of THOMAS. 235 JESSE WOOTEN, the Revolutionary Soldier from JOHNSTON COUNTY, was evidently the son and not brother of CAPTAIN JAMES WOOTEN. JESSE WOOTEN, was the father of MARY WOOTEN WHO MARRIED BENJAMIN HILL. JESSE WOOTEN RECEIVED HIS FIRST LAND GRANT dated 21st day of October 1782 in Johnston County. It is as follows: RALEIGH LAND OFFICE, Book No. 46. File No. 1962, No. 485, pages 108 and 109.

Vol. IX, page 95, folio 4. and Vol. IX, p, 96, Folio 1, as well as North Carolina Roster of the Revolution, page 172. Jesse Wooten must have been born about 1750 as he was the father of Mary Wooten Hill born about 1770 and married Benjamin Hill November 28, 1787. After a careful study of the Jesse Wooten's of North Carolina, Johns­ ton County, it is evident that there were two men by that name viz: Jesse Wooten the son of William and Ann Wooten and JESSE WOOTEN the son of Captain JAMES WOOTEN AND FATHER OF MARY WOOTEN Below is a Copy of the Will of JESSE WOOTEN. THE WILL OF JESSE WOOTEN IS FOUND IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK OF THE SUPERIOR COURT OF JOHNSTON COUNTY, North Carolina and reads as follows: Will ];look 1, page 385. ''In the name of God Amen, I, Jesse Wooten of Johnston County, and State of North Carolina being old and stricken in years calling to mind that is appointed unto man once· to die, do make and ordain this to be my last will and Testament. in manner and form as follows to wit: Imprimis I give to my son WILLIAM WOOTEN my still; the remaining part of my estate which has not heretofore been given away consisting of household goods and kitchen furniture, stock and plantation. utensils to be equally divided between my three sons SHERROD WOOTEN, WILLIAM WOOTEN, and BERRY WOOTEN.

I would like to state that on May 29, 1946 I, Marielou Roach Fair visited Johnston County Court House, Smithfield, and read the above will, also copied many deeds, etc. of the Wooten Family of JOHNSTON COUNTY, my Ancestors. It is quite a pleasure to possess the map of Johnston County, locating the above lands, etc. JESSE WOOTEN made deeds of 600 acres each to his sons WILLIAM, (Deed Book E:2: 101), and BERRY (E:2: 103) for natural love and affection in 1806, possession to be retained during his lifetime. There is strong evidnce that Capt. JAMES WOOTEN OF JOHNSTON COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA, WHO OBTAINED A GRANT OF LAND ON BUFFALO SWAMP IN 1752 was the father of JESSE WOOTEN.
