Beat of blood in Viking hearts When danger looms nigh: Swing of ships beneath full sails, Where wild sea-birds cry. Song from vibrant, bearded throats, Hoarse and wild and fref'; Through long ages, dimly heard, These sounds come down to me. I throb with wildest longings; Life's a battle-cry!

I found this chart of the Baldridge from Westmoreland Wills and it is so easy to look at and see who went where am sending it on to you. I know you have the wills, but it sort of makes it easier to look at them. There are only the facts of course.

The court was scheduled to sit beginning on the third Mondays of March, June, September, and December of each year . At this time the court had jurisdiction to record deeds, issue tavern licenses, try small court cases, appoint road gangs or juries, and other duties important to the residents of the county. In 1787 , the duties were increased to include probate court. Formerly, residents of this county had had to journey to Ninety Six Court House for probate court. In 1788, it became no longer necessary to prove deeds in open court, but it still could be done . The many dedimi in this particular series of court minutes are excellent clues to persons having immigrated from various counties in North Carolina and emigrated to various counties in Georgia. The sitting of this court was altered in 1791 to be on the second Mondays in April and September for what was them called intermediate court, and the county court to sit beginning the 12th days of J anuary and June. These minutes themselves are found in four original volumes, now in the South Carolina Archives. The first volume was 260 pages in length. Only the first 106 pages of the original are now extant ( through March term 1787), the remainder exists now only in the W. P . A. copy . The probates were recorded in a separate volumes 1790-1799 , an unusual situation for such minutes. The volumes are as follows : Volume 1784-1799 pp. 1-99 Volume 1789-1794 pp. 100-190 Volume 1794-1799 pp. 191-270 Volume 1790-1799 (probate) pp. 271-307 Brent H. Holcomb, C. A. L. S.

Coll., Vol. 8, 3d series, and from the valuable work in the library of the N. E. Hist. and Gen. Society of this city, entitled "Collectanea, Topographica and Genea logica," communicated by Rev. George C. Gorham, of Remenham, England. "This family was descended from the De Gorrams, of La Tanniere, in Brittany, where William, son of Ralph de Gorram, built a castle in 1128. It was situated in the town of Gorram, from which place, doubtless, the family name originated. A branch came over to England with the Conqueror. Sir Hugh de Gorram died at Churchfield in 1332, from which time the family declined, but continued in that vicinity, at Benefield, King's Cliff and Glapthorne, till the latter part of the 17th century. The only remaining branch of the Northamptonshire Gorhams, settled at St. Neats, in Hunting donshire, about 1676, and is still continued in the Rev. Geo. C. Gorham mentioned above as the author of an elaborate account of the Anglo-Norman family of the name in the 12th, 13th, and 14th centuries, and who possesses many ancient charters and seals of the Norman family, from 1162 to 1238, when it became extinct in France. The Gorhams of New England are supposed to have emigrated from Benefield, in Northamptonshire, in the reign of Charles the first. In the Register of Baptisms is found the following entry: "John Gorram, son of Ralph Gorram, baptized Jan. 28, 1621," the name of Ralph is not found in any subsequent register, neither is the death of John recorded. Hence it is probable both Ralph and John quitted Benefield for some other abode. It was probably, therefore, this Ralph Gorram who had a grant of land in New Plymouth, in 1637, and that John, of Barnstable, before mentioned, was his son. The father of Ralph, above mentioned, who emigrated to New England, was James, of Benefield, b. 1550, married Agnes Bemington, 1572, and died 1576. Ralph was born 157 5. The name has been variously spelt. Gorram, (the most ancient mode) Goram, Gorran, Goran, Garren, and its English orthography of Gorham.

The number which fell by that diabolical conspiracy, as reported by Smith, amounted to 347, and in his Generall Historie, at page 149, he has a list of the numbers murdered at different places. Nilil copies from the Records of the Virginia Company (now in the Congressional Library at Washington) a list of their names-see his "History of the Virginia Company," pp. 339-346-and considering that it is proper to annex this to the list preceding we here· with give it. The total corresponds with the statement in Smith's Historie. The number of deaths in the census list shows a mortality amounting in one year J1 ! to upwards of twenty per cent. of the whole population, exceeding the number which fell in the massacre by twenty-four.

Mary Inne was born in North Carolina about 17'79· Mary Lane in 1784 was taken by her parents to Wilkes County, Georgia, where Ri chnrd settled on Long Creek. Wh~n Wilkes County was divided on 12-19-1793, Long Creek property became Oglethorpe County, so Richard Lane was living in Oglethorpe County. His will filed in 1793 was the first will filed in Oglethorpe County. . Mary Lane married August 1794 William Freeman, a close friend of her father. The bond for her marriage is No . 17 in Oglethorpe County. Mary Lane always called herself Polly. She made her will in Munroe County, Georgia, in 1841, Nov. 16 . This will was proved Nov . 7, 1842. Polly Lane was then a widow, and a grandmother in 1841. Her husband's death date is not known by this compiler Polly Lane and her husband William Freeman had the following children: I. Rev. Josiah Freeman who married Mary and had children. II. Cynthia Freeman who married Pendergrass. III. Elizabeth Freeman who married Ellison. IV Sarah Freeman who married Arthur Herring.

I am wondering if the James .t'arham who married Rachel Batt and moved from rince George count;{ to Isle of 1Jight county was the brother of Ephraim (died 172{) or the son. It may te that Ephraim }1ad only the three sons named in his will in 1726 and also nrured in the will of Frances rarham, widow of Brunswick, who I feel fairly sure •as the widow Frances named in his will and supposed to be a daughter cf Lewis Green Sr. The fact that she mentioned her 11 Daugh~er 's Children'• makes me feel more sure, for Mrs Draper wrote me that the clau;hter Frances died young and her husband Hinchea lvabury married aeain a ndow- Ann Courtney before •ar 27 , 1751 and he died before Jan 6, 1763. In case you are interested to know the children of Hinchea and Frances (Parham) Marbury they were Elizabeth who married 1 before 1737 John Pettway, tlinchea who married Celj a Evans, daughter of 11fn :;vans; Ephrc>..im; Joshua who married Lucretia; and Nathaniel; Jane, Fran~es , Rebecca, vl'illiam, Joel ( married iinifred Smith), Daniel ( married Elizabeth). Mrs Draper thinks that we are very close tin to the Browns and }A'athews from records sht,-has- Surry county Book 1-334 has a deed of 230 acres from James Mathews Jr and Ann "Pis wife to John Pettway, with the understanding that the land will descend to e child of his wife, Elizabeth ( daughter of Hinchea and Frances .r arham llabury) dated ~.arch 2, 1737 . Tr en on page 391 of same book d <>ted Nov 1737- John Brovm and Jlary his wtfe deed to Hinchey )•!abury for five shillings 240 acres part of land granted to James Mathews Feb 8, 1722 and conveyed by him to John Brovm and his heirs by deed of lease Oct 28, 1735 0 Records show that my Randolrhs inherited land patented by iarmaduke Prown and we also find this record- in Surry Big Boo~ 1715-30 page 1~6- 19 MPy 1719- Jndenture between Charles Gilliam of t=rince George Co . and Hinchea Mayberry for 600 lbs tobacco land on Nottoway River by a corner of tree of Marmaduke's Brown's land- v;i tnesses - Lewis Green Jr. James ...i.atthews, Mary Green. ldaybe tne widow ary Green married either James Mathews or John Brown; or lfary may have been a daughter of James .wathews ard married first Lewis Green Sr. and secondly, John Brown. James 11i.athews must have heen his father, he had wife Ann and moved to North Carolina • .l. had alwazrs thoue:at that m, Jeroe s- I had always thought that my James Parham was much older than he seems to be from records sent me . The James Parham who married Elizabeth Greenway in Greensville or Brunswick county in 1778, could hardly be his son, for his son, James was not of age in 1791. Then there is the James Parham, who left an Inventory in Amelia County in 1787 . My James might not be the grandson named in the will in 1726, but probably was born a few years later, may be the son of Ephraim or Lewis . Laybe the James mentioned in the will was the son of ·atthew and the father of those three borthers- James , John and .i:illiam in Brunswick and the father of the Frances born in 1746/7 and may be the one who went to N.C. for I do not believe my James was the one who lived in North Carolina. I am convinced that Mary was the wife of all of his children, for note that you sent me an indenture dated Nov 26, 1?56 mentioning James Parham and ~ary his wife, proving they were married soon after the death of her father; but it seems they were disposing of that grist mill in 1?56, mentioned in the record dated Oct ?, 1?42, which is so condensed I do not know whether Lewis Parham gave the mill to James or sold it t~ him. If the James rarham mentioned in 1?56 is the same as the one mentioned in 1?42, he must be the James named in the will in 1?26, in order to be old enough to received a deed of gift from his uncle lewis Pa:itbam, as such gifts were seldom made before a man was sixteen though they were probably made to small chi.ldren under certain circumstances. The names of the children mentioned in James ~arham's ~~11 are also very enlightening, for notice ~ Atkinson must be for Mary's mother, Sarah Parish; 1;ary Duke for ilary, herself, Rebecca for Ephraim Parham's wife, Of course Frances was a Parham name from earliest days. In the record dated Dec 2?, 1?60 ( practically 1761) where James Parham gives his son lewis a negro named rate, would Lewis have to be 21 or could be received suet a gift, when 16. I have been told that Virginia men matured so early that they often married at sixteen and were given their own plantations to manage at that ape, so lewis .might really have been just 16 and so born about 1?45/46; but he could not be the son of the wife, i.i.ary. Of course that older James ?arham might also have had a son, Lewis. You did not send n:e the date of this record, as follows: - "James Parham of Brunswick for 120 lbs to lewis Parham of Frince George, negroes Peter and Dick I am curious to know what the date of that record is. And you did not send date of the transaction between James Parham and Robert Ru~fin of Dinwiddie. James Parham deed of gift to his son Nathaniel of two negroes vllill and James Jan 25, 1790, must have been oust as the son came of age; and I do not imagine he had given lewis negroes, for he left him such a generous sum of money, Nathaniel and Lewis had evidently come of age, as they were made Executors in 1790. I wonder if the sons lewis and Ephraim were dead in 1811, when Mary Parham left her entire estate to her two sons, Nathaniel and James ''• Parham. Of course our first Parham ancestor in Va. named in the 1655 record was James Parham father of Matthew Parham and then in 1690, James Parham and Henry King patent a tract of land jointly near fuOnksneck on the side of the Great Swamp. Then in 1?17, James l arham of Prine e George county conveyed to Joshua Poythress 200 acres of land of Bayly's Creek adjoining Henry Batt. Then 1720 James Parham of Isle of ,fight gives Lewis Green Jr. a power of attorney in Prince George county. Then Sep 10, 1720 James Parham of Isle of >vight had maJ"ried Rachel, a daughter of Capt Henry Batt( 1714-28 Prince George Coo records) Then in 1726 Ephraim Parham names a young grandson James Parham in his will. Capt Hinchea Gilliam and Nathaniel Harrison owned land together in Surry in 1701. and in the will of the former he speaks of land adjoining Benjamin Harrisono ~7rs Fothergill wrote lfrs Draper that she thought the earliest James Parham had two sons Matthew and James( who patented land in 1690) and a daughter Frances, who married Francis King in Henrico courty before 1696 She thour-ht that •··atthewhad several cMldren -Thomas, Ephraim, James, Matthew, lewis and Fdward (that is the first Matthew ment·oned as a child of James in 1655, when Elias Holmes left. him cattle for his schoolingo She also thought that the first Matthew may have married a Gower(Gore). Va. Mag. 2-280 names a George Holmes in James City Co . livine on hand adjoin ing John Johnson, granted for himself, wife Rebecca and servant Aug 4, 1635. Va. '""ago 2-69 has a John Holmes in Va. in 1622; and Va. Mag. 1-256 gives will of Capt. Ro•land probated 1656 who names legatee "brother Ttomas Holmes". This is especially interesting for this Capt Rowland married lice, daught of Richard Eltonhead, and th:i s Alice married 2ndly before 1657, He Corbin and they were ancestors of the Va. Corbins, Alice Eltonhead had a sister to marry a Parham1 Henry Parham, if I remember correctly. I wonder what kin lewis Parham was to v~illi am Green, who names him in his will in 1749. Amelia C9l was formed from Prince George Co. in 1734, so that James rarham in Amelia may have never left the old "stamping r.round'. From a record in Edward Pleasants Valentine Papers, a James Perham was l)ving in N.C. as early as 1736 and made a deed of gift of land to Francis Exum of Southampton Co. Va. or rather Isle of ~lght Co. the part that must have become Southampton as the will of rrancis Exum was probated in the latter county in 1753, naming those 'lliamson sisters; arld James Perham in r~nswick was surety for the marriage of Yary Parham to John ·~illiamson in 1753. Had you noticed that Matthew arham with child James born 1760 had ·wife Rebecca or Rebeckah; and Ephra.:i m Parham with children - Frances, 11illiam, Rebecca borr. between 1741 and 1752. also had a wife named Rebecca. Another record i n V • ag. 15-381-Brunswick county shows that in 1742, James Parham was in N.C. and land involved in lawsuit was given to Joshua. Clark.
