Typically they were Patronyms, meaning the took the first name of their Father as their last name. So, John's son Owen would be Owen Johns, which becomes Owen Jones, and Mordecai's son Rhys becomes Rhys Mordecai. Sometimes they would even take first and last name of their father for themselves. Different families fixed last names at different times. The earliest I have found Mordecai as a persistent last name is 1650, in around North Eastern wales, in a place called Llanfrothen. John Mordecai and his brother Lewis John Mordecai were weavers in the area. There name structure would heavily suggest that their Father was John Mordecai, and thier Grandfather may have been Mordecai LNU (last name unknown). John Mordecai's sons took Mordecai as their last name, and Lewis John Mordecai's sons took Lewis as their last name. Lewis is an interesting name for a Welshman, as it is French / Norman from Louis, which might attest to a continental connection, though that is really conjecture. Mordecai then, as a First name, comes from the bible, in the Book of Esther. It was popular in wales I think, because of the character of the man described therein - a man that saved his people from prosecution through his vigilance and intelligence. Much like the popularity of the name Gwenllian for girls in the same time period, herself a princess and leader of rebellion in Wales, there is an affinity for strong heroic names like Owain/Owen, and Llewellyn along side the typical names of kings (Richard, Edward, William ) This was the height of the religious reformation, and the wars that were fought around it, with the poor in Wales caught up in the middle, once again besieged as it was in the old times. Heroic names, especially from the bible would be very popular indeed. As for your particular connection, my own family is from Llangan, and goes back to 1750s for sure, with many an Edward Mordecai. You are welcome to look at my tree, though I do not have anyone that matches your dates exactly - though it is possible that I haven't yet built it out far enough in the cousins and uncles to find a connection. Based on a family letter from Mirrium Mordecai, previous to her death in 1942 in Ystradowen, Wales, to Trevor Popkin Mordecai in America, it is supposed that this William Mordecai and Gwenlian Jane Popkin are the ancestors of this line of Mordecai's from Llangan, Glamorganshire, Wales. At this time there is no hard evidence. Until there is more discovery, these two will stand as the parents of the shown descendents. (M.C. Mordecai- 2005) The only marriage record I was able to locate was for an Edward Mordecai and Gwenllian John (aka Jenkins or 'John's Kin'). I believe this to be the actual Edward & Gwenllian, ancestors of Trevor Popkin Mordecai. I also believe this line of Mort/Mordecai's originated with a Hopkin Mordecai, b. abt. 1710. I think this is how the name "Popkin" in this line came about. It makes sense to me that a son in this line would be named "ap Hopkin", thus eventually becoming "Popkin". I have yet to document connection for this Edward to the Hopkin Mordecai, but I have no doubt at this point that this is the case. (M.C.

There were Popkins of Ynys-Tawe and Forest, both of the same lineage, the former the senior line, and both now extinct. They claimed descent from Rhodri Mawr, King of Wales, through his eldest son, Prince Anarawd ( (succ. AD 877. Gruffydd Gethin, the first named in the pedigrees as a Ynys-Tawe, ninth in descent, had a son Hopkin ap Gruffydd, and he a son David ap Hopkin of Ynys-Tawe, who m. Eva, dau. of Jenkin ap Leyson of Avan, of the race of Idxtyn ap Gwrgant. Hopkin ap David ap Hopkin followed, and had a son David ap Hopkin, whose son, Hopkin David of Ynys-Tawe, had an elder son, ---. David Popkin, who finally fixed the patronymic as a surname. He m. Jennet, dau. of Robert William, Esq.. of Court Rhyd-hir, and with other children, had a son and successor, John (sc., son of) David Popkin of Ynys-Tawe, who adhering to the favourite family name, called his eldest son Hopkin (sc., son of) John David Popkin who was also of Ynys-Tawe. By his wife Luce, dau. of Harry Rees ap Gruffydd, he left an elder son, his successor, David Popkin who married Jane, daughter of Thomas Morgan Cadwgan, Esq., and was succeeded by his son, Hopkin David Popkin, living 1678 whose wife was a dau. of John David Rosser of Trewyddfa. The account of this elder branch here ceases in our MSS. The Forrest Junior line begins with Hopkin, second son of the above Hopkin David of Ynys-Tawe, and continues at Forest, near Neath, for ten generations. This line seems to have held a higher position in the county than the senior . Thomas Popkin of Forest was Sheriff of Glamorgan in 1718, and his son Thomas held the same office in 1755. They intermarried with the families of Dawkins of Ynystawlog, Evans of Peterwell, Card.; and the last mentioned Thomas m. Justina Maria, dau. of Sir John Stepney of Llanelly. The last male representative was Bennet Popkin, Esq., of Forest, "who went to reside at Kittlehill in pursuance of a limitation in the will of his aunt, Mrs. Bennet." He m.

(This would have been where the idea of "Miskin Manor" came from). Source: tatonca74 Note on Names: In wales at the time, they were still in flux on last names - go into any graveyard and you will see this. Up to the 1800s people were still listed as Ap or Firch and their Father's name, if there be any last name at all... A Marriage record for Edward and Gwenllian Jenkins exists and I have linked it. Jenkins is essential "Jon's Kin" or relative of Jon - So Gwenllian John and Gwenllian Jenkins is essentially the same name. Another thing - many Church Clergy were English - which created a kind of Ellis Island effect on last names in registries in Wales in the 17th and 18th century. Lastly - why Llangan? - well being that Edward was likely a weaver, the weaving trade was becoming eclipsed at this time by industrialization. Llanblethian was becoming an industrialized weaving center of South Wales. (see Llanblethian Buildings and People) Edward's and Gwen's sons would become involved with the factories there in following generations. It may be that they moved to capitalize on the industry that was being built in the area. | Mordecai\Mort, Edward (ap Hopkin = Popkin) (I3006)

353 | Gregory lived near his brother Thomas. Most of the Glascocks living in this area of the country are descended from Gregory and Thomas Glascock. He is listed as a "Rappahannock Planter". (Source: J. A. Snyder through: theGlasscockFamilySocietyoftheUSA@groups.msn.com) It is assummed that Gregory was the oldest son because he inherited his father's land. In 1667, Gregory deeded the Morattico Creek land to this brother, Thomas. In 1677, listing himself as a Rappahannock planter, he gave power of attorney to his brother Thomas "of ye same county planter", in the settlement of an estate. Page 161 of The Glas(s)cocks of England and America by Rev. Lawrence A. Glassco: "Gregory's Wife - His wife may have been Mary, dau. of Capt. Alex. Newman of Richmond Co. - according to one researcher's theory. A will proved in 1690 states that their dau. Ann Glascock received 100 acres of land from Capt. Newman, and that Thos. Glascock was an overseer for Capt. Newman in the will. That she may have been Mary Fauntleroy was an earlier "research guess" which has been disproven." "Our narrative has been concerned so far with that branch of the Glascock family which continued to live at the manor house at "Indian Banks". Now we will turn the light of inquiry on the other branch of Thomas' male descendants -- those who were of the family of Gregory (b.1643) and Thomas(b.1671). Thomas (b.1671) was declared "arrived at full age" at the June 1, 1692, sitting of the Richmond County Court, so we assume that he was born before 1671. He had married(about 1689) Sarah, daughter of William Stone. Thomas lived on Farnham Creek, the next creek up the Rappahannock about 3 miles north of "Indian Banks". Thomas was a first cousin of the Col. George Glascock who lived at "Indian Banks". Presumably he lived in harmony in the community and was building up a tobacco plantation and estate on Farnham Creek. In 1715 he acted on a committee to take depositions in a property question. In 1718 & 1719 he was appointed surveyor of the highway from Capt. Tarpley's house over the Morattico Hill to the main road. Then tragedy struck. On November 5, 1723, Thomas "made an assault on the Body of William Forrester by stabbing him with a knife by means whereof the said Forrester Instantly Dyed". No more details about the killing are available. Life was a good deal cheaper and men were more violent in those days than now. Perhaps Thomas had a very good reason or perhaps not. Perhaps the knowledge of all of the facts would reveal ample justification for his violent action or perhaps not. At any rate, after the incident he fled from his home and apparently was never heard from again by his family. His son Gregory, who was 23 at the time, accompanied him on his escape and was later arraigned by a Richmond County Court as an accessory after the murder. After hearing the testimony of Gregory and his brothers, John (age 24) and Thomas Junior (age 18), the court found that "the principall not being attainted, noe. Indictment will lye against the Accessory, therefore the sd Gregory Glascock is Admitted to Baille". The following is a copy of the testimony at the hearing: "Gregory Glascock being examined saith that on the fifth of November last about midnight he set off in a boat with his father, THOMAS GLASCOCK from their Landing (on Farnham Creek) and the next morning his father put him on Shoar the other side of the River about five miles below Morattico Creek,and then he travelled to Gloucester Town, and went over the Ferrey to York Town, and from thence went to Hampton Town, and soe went over James River and Landed at one Willsons, and from thence Traveled Through Norfolk Town and went to a place Called the Northwest Landing, and then came back about Two Days before Christmas to the house of one Nehomiah Jones, and from thence made the best of his way home." "The murder and the subsequent flight of Thomas (perhaps eventually south to the Carolinas) left his wife, Sarah, with six children on the Farnham Creek property. She probably maintained the family home for a time in the best way she could manage, but "King" Robert Carter took possession of Thomas' real estate, negroes and other property which was forfeited to the government. Carter's will in 1726 states, "if my son John (Carter) comes to enjoy the said Glascock's lands under a good title that then he further consider the said Glascock's children in such proportion as he shall think fitt, or otherwise gratify them according to his discretion." The next generation of Glascocks in Thomas' line apparently had to start all over again on their own. They moved north from their old home in the Tidewater and established large families and many descendants in northern Virginia in the Piedmont area."

354 | Griffin, Spalding Co., GA Civil War History: "The following is a copy of a letter received by Benj. W. Doe with reference to his attitude toward the South. This communication was found among his personal papers and marked 'To be preserved to show to my grandchildren': 'Captain Benjamin Doe: The Undersigned Acting under Authority from citizens of this City respectfully invite you to an interview with us a Four O'clock on the subject of your relations to the Confederate States of America, and your avowed sentiments with reference thereto. At which meeting we will present to you more fully our reason for requesting this interview.' //s// Respectfully Your Friends- P. Eason, E.P. Daniels, E.J. Green, A.K. Moore, J. H. Campbell Dated Griffin, Ga., Saturday, March 16, 1861." This is an intriguing item which Benjamin obviously thought important. Unfortunately he did not leave any further information about his "sentiments," the complaints, his response or the outcome. It could be that Benjamin was not in favor of the war and wanted that fact to be remembered by his descendants. It could be he felt that as war passions became inflamed his integrity was being unjustly called into question, possibly because of his links to his birthplace and family in the North. In any case, it appears from Benjamin's later history and the way he was remembered after his death that all questions were laid to rest. The two youngest sons of Benjamin and Rhoda, Charles Rice Doe and Edward Winslow Doe, were too young to have joined the army, but the third and eldest son, Benjamin Franklin Doe, did fight in the Confederate Army. And, indeed, scores of Benjamin's Northern relatives also fought, and some died, as soldiers on the opposite side. Through it all, Benjamin, in his capacity of City Sexton, spent the War of Brother Against Brother burying over 1,300 of the war's dead. Griffin historian Mr. Jennings says that, in fact, several Civil War soldiers were buried on Benjamin's property. And Benjamin's granddaughter Mildred Doe Scogin wrote that a Civil War soldier named H. H. Smith was buried in the back yard of the neighboring Bryant Skipper house. According to Mr. Jennings, a woman living several houses away from the Doe's home had turned her house into a hospital during the war. Although no Civil War battle was fought in Griffin, the town was a major troop mobilization point and a hospital town. Trainloads of sick and wounded soldiers overflowed the hospitals, so soldiers were nursed in private residences as well as in the Courthouse, stores, colleges and other public buildings. It is uncertain whether Benjamin's cotton warehouse and merchandising business survived after the war. The South in general was financially devastated. Griffin was hit particularly hard, because the railroad that had made it a market and shipping center had been destroyed in the war. Even as late as 1870, over one-third of Spalding County was formally counted as destitute, and bankruptcies after the war were numerous. Although never a wealthy man, Benjamin did not seem to suffer as harshly as many others, perhaps because of his previous property holdings. He continued as City Sexton and, from some point, County Coroner until his death on August 25, 1881. Seven years later in his wife Rhoda's death notice in the Griffin News, Benjamin was still remembered as the one whom "everybody knew as one of the cleverest and most accommodating men Griffin ever had." Property for the new town of Griffin was sold at auction by General L. L. Griffin on June 8, 1840. The opportunities opening up in this sparsely populated area made newly accessible and commercially strategic by a railroad. With the new railroad connection from Griffin to Macon in 1842, Griffin became a center for the buying, selling, storing and shipping of cotton and other goods.

I am assuming she was buried in the St. Crallo churchyard. We did not find her stone there, however.

360 | ID: I19721 Name: Reuben DAUGHERTY NPFX: Rev. Sex: M Birth: Abt 1779 in North Carolina Death: FEB 1860 in Tippah Co.,MS Note: 1860 US Mortality Index Dougherty, Reuben Age: 81 Gender: M Occupation: Clergyman, Priest Death Date: February, 1860 Death Location: Tippah, Mississippi Cause: Old Age Birth Location: North Carolina (Note: Confusion between two Reuben Daugherty's. One (born 1771) married to Charity Gough, the other (born 1779) married to Martha Jane Smith) Reuben Daugherty, the second son of Owen II, born abt 1764, grew up in NC but did not marry there. At the age of probably 34 or so, Reuben traveled with his brother Daniel and the Moses Taylor I family to KY about 1795 where he met and married Charity Gough April 12, 1800 in Logan Co., KY. In KY, Reuben acquired land with deeds recorded in 1804. Two children were born in KY; a son, Arnett, born in 1803 and a daughter, Celia, born about 1810. Arnett grew up in KY and appears to have married there, and had a son, Arnett Jr., born in KY in 1823. His 1st wife is unknown. Reuben, Charity and daughter, Celia, remained in KY probably for about 15 years before again relocating to AL, a Territory prior to 1819. In AL, Reuben became a landholder, a preacher and a Justice of the Peace. Arnett Daugherty moved to Washington Co. and married about 1843. His wife is unknown. Arnett, Jr.'s wife must have died before 1870. Near the end of the Civil War, probably around 1865, Arnett, Jr., the stepson of Sally Earle Daugherty, moved from Washington Co., to Choctaw Co., AL, taking Arnette, Sr.'s wife, Sally, along with them where she would be housekeeper for him in Choctaw. Arnett, Jr. is known to have a daughter, Eugene E. Daugherty, born 1864. Reuben Daugherty and his nephew, Peter Patrick Daugherty established two branches of the Daugherty family in southwest AL. Reuben must have arrived in AL prior to 1820 since land documents of that date in KY refer to him being a resident of AL. Peter Patrick probably chose to settle there because Reuben had previously done so. At the time, the Irish tended to settle in clans. Both Reuben's family and Peter Patrick's family must have had a high regard for the Earle family, who lived in the area and are listed in the census. Reuben's son married Sally Earle and Peter Patrick's son and grandson were given the middle name of Earle, spelled with the "e" at the end. Reuben arrived in present day Washington Co., AL when it was still frontier country, probably before AL's admission as a state. From 1800 - 1819 Washington Co., covered the entire lower portion of present day AL and MS. Within this vast area, later divided into 26 counties, the population in 1800 was 733 whites and 404 blacks. Reuben and Patrick, who must have arrived shortly after Reuben, were indeed in a sparsely settled area. The exact location of their settlement in Washington Co. is not known, but it must have been the area of present day McIntosh where many descendants still live. At the time of their arrival, the area was still occupied to a large extent by Indians. Mobile and Pensacola were part of West Florida, held by the Spanish. The area west of the Tombigbee was occupied by Choctaw Indians, while east of the AL river into GA was occupied by Creek Indians. During the most of the 18th Century, the ruler of the Creeks was probably the most famous Indian Chief in the southeast, Alexander McGillivray, an old halfbreed who was 1/2 Scotch and 1/2 Creek. One of McGillivray's trading locations was McIntosh Blulff and one of his "cowpens", actually a plantation, was on Little River. The area was well known. The Creeks were called so because their towns were built on streams.(Source: Hal Daugherty - 2005) MCM Note: The "Creek" Indians included the Choctaw. There were a number of tribes referred to by the English as Creeks because they lived by the riverlets and creeks. The Muscogee Indians in AL, GA, TN and FL claimed to be from the area now known as Mexico City, Mexico. Their legends said they were Aztecs and came up from that area in Mexico about the time Cortez was taking over Mexico.

He moved to South Alabama where within a short time, he commenced preaching a Crucified Savior which he continued to do until a few months before his death when his bodily strength failed. He departed this life February 18, 1860. His disease was a failure of the urinal organs. He was consistent Old School Baptist and publicly contended for the faith once delivered to the saints about 40 years. In his last days of weakness, his mind was much exercised in the scriptures and also much upon his Christian experience. The night before he died, he was almost constantly quoting scriptures and trying to sing. "Jesus my all to heaven is gone;" this seemed to be his favorite song . From South Alabama he came to this country in the winter of 1829 and a few years ago, he settled in Tippah County, Mississippi and joined New Salem Church where he died and I have no doubt but that he entered into that rest that remains for the people of God although he was my father, yet amidst my grief I feel a degree of joy and gladness that he is gone from the evils and troubles of this world to meet with Jesus the Christian to all and be like him and sing his praises all eternity.

362 | In Ireland, the original name "O'Dochartaigh" in the Irish language goes back to the 3rd century. In the 17th Century the name was changed into variations... "The Daugherty family name is derived from an old English word "Dyhtig", meaning valiant and strong. It seems to be that they were part of the flight of wild geese including thos who fled from Ireland for religious persecution. Dougherty originated in the Inshowen Peninsula. The Daugherty family name was established in southwest Alabama, in Washington County, by Peter Patrick Daugherty and his uncle, Reuben Daugherty, about the time Alabama became a state (1819). The initial immigration of the Daugherty's of this family occurred about the time Benjamin Franklin invented the cast iron stove, with the arrival of Owen Daugherty II, around 1750, prior to the American Revolution. The Daugherty's in Ireland was a very old clan. The ruins of an old Daugherty Castle still exists in Co. Donegal as an attraction. History suggests that the Daugherty Clan may have lost their land in the 17th Century when England implemented the Church of England. From about 1603 to the decade of the 1660's, some of the lands of Ireland changed hands. The land of those not supporting the Church of England was confiscated, was cut up into parcels and given to new settlers that did support the Church of England. Restrictions on Ireland's export trade in manufactured woolen goods was virtually destroyed. There was little, or no, religious or economic freedom in Ireland in the mid 17th Century. Migration to other locations on the continent and to the colonies increased. Owen Daugherty, I, a native of Donegal Co., Ireland, with an uncertain birth date, begins this line of the Daugherty family. Research yields little substantial information relating to his origin or antecedents, except his wife's first name and the names of two sons with the birth date of one. Land records in the US suggests Owen I was established in VA as a young man. Consensus of researchers conclude that he migrated to the U.S. in 1673 and subsequently received a lang grant in Norfolk, VA in 1689. Owen I must have remained in America sixteen years or more before returning to Ireland where a son, Owen II, was born. His marital status prior to his return to Ireland is unknown, but at the time of the birth of two sons in Ireland, he was married to a woman with an unknown name." (Source: Hal L. Daugherty-2005) Nugent, Nell Marion. Cavaliers and Pioneers: Abstracts of Virginia Land Patents and Grants. Vol. 2: 1666-1695. Indexed by Claudia B. Grundman. Richmond, VA: Virginia State Library, 1977. 609 p.1 Owen Daugherty, LAND GRANT, October 20, 1689, New Norfolk, VA Owen Daugherty, LAND GRANT, October 25, 1695, Norfolk , VA. (From Post on Ancestry.com by Donna Hart, 19 July 2004) First, the Owen Daugherty who arrived in Norfolk, VA in 1673 was a landowner by 1677. He married an Elizabeth by 1696, because her name as his wife appears on several deeds of conveyance, beginning then. Finally, he was dead by January 1, 1712, because there is an inventory of his estate that identifies him as deceased and identifies his wife Elizabeth as his administratrix. An inventory of her estate also exists, but I haven't been able to find it. I have not been able to find any mention in any of the documents of who Owen and Elizabeth's children were. So. . .that creates a problem as we try to link him to the Owen Daugherty in North Carolina. There is another Owen Daugherty who appears in Craven County, NC by 1743 and buys some land. I can't find out whether he is the son or grandson--or any relative at all of the Virginia Owen Daugherty. But he MAY be. He CANNOT have been born in 1735, as some records say, because he'd only be 8 years old when he purchased this property. So he might be the father of the Owen Daugherty that some folks say was born in 1735. But I can find no evidence of an Owen born in 1735. If some of you have it, I'd really like to hear about it. In 1745 there is a land sale in Virginia of "Owen Daugherty's land" by a Job Docketay, who is identified as being from North Carolina. There seems to be some relationship in North Carolina between Job Daugherty, a Solomon Daugherty, and Owen Daugherty--but I can't determine what that relationship is. It also seems pretty obvious that Owen Daugherty who dies in 1785 and Daniel Daugherty who dies in 1791 are brothers. I have copies of perhaps 20 deeds of conveyance involving Owen Daugherty in Craven Co., NC between 1743 and 1785. His gift of deed to his first set of children is in 1762, and his will is in 1785. None of these deeds of conveyance ever mentions a wife's name, so I wonder how we get the name of Susannah Alexander as either his wife or the wife of an Owen in a generation in between? The 1785 will does mention his wife Mary. (From Post to Ancestry.com message board by Lonne Heath 7 Jan 2003) "Information found in the book "Cavaliers and Pioneers" (Vol. 2 page 131) puts an Owen Daugherty in Virginia in 1673. This could possibly be a father to this Owen. Owen Daugherty and Daniel Daugherty are listed in a 1751 Craven County Militia. They were likely brothers. (Also in the same militia was a Willis B. McCoy). Owen made deeds to five children in 1762 for land on the South Side of the Neuse River. They were Owen Jr., Richard, Suzanna, Elizabeth, and Sarah. In a will made in 1785, probated in 1786, he names his wife, Mary and mentions five children by his first wife. He then names his children by his second wife. Robert, Daniel, Reubin, and Holland all moved to Kentucky, Ephraim being the only child of his second wife that remained in North Carolina. Owen's will is witnessed by Daniel Daugherty, Elizabeth Daugherty, and James Arnold. Owen was the Bondsman for the marriage bond of Milly Broadway and Arthur Arnold on Dec. 6, 1797, Craven County."

The Battle of the Boyne (Irish: Cath na Bóinne) was a turning point in the Williamite claim on the English throne. The deposed King James VII of Scotland and James II of England and Ireland and his Jacobite supporters were defeated by James' nephew and son-in-law, William III and his supporters. By the invitation of Parliament, William had deposed James in 1688. Both kings acted as commander of their respective armies. The battle took place on July 1, 1690 (Old Style) just outside the town of Drogheda on Ireland's east coast. Each army stood on opposing sides of the River Boyne. William's forces easily defeated those of James who led an army of mostly raw recruits. The symbolic importance of this battle has made it one of the best-known battles in British and Irish history and a key part in Irish Protestant folklore. It is still commemorated today, principally by the Orange Institution. As a consequence of the adoption of the Gregorian calendar ("New Style" dating), the battle is now commemorated on July 12 each year. This battlesite is near Newgrange, which is a "must visit" (Created by Phil White Jun 03, 2008) | Daugherty, Owen I (I6640)

364 | In John Gray's Will, Samuel was listed in order of the 7th child. Therefore I have placed him as the 7th child. No documentation support other than than. (MCM 2014) Samuel Gray was born 1720 in Ulster, Northern Ireland, and died 1775 in Tyrone County (now Rutherford County), NC. He married Agnes "Nancy" McClung. She died August 10, 1809. Samuel lived in Augusta County, VA until 1765 when they sold their lands in the Borden Tract and moved southward. They were in Tryon County, N. C by 1769, when Samuel Gray entered his land grant for 300 acres on Broad River. (Tryon County was cut off from Mecklenburg County in 1762 and in 1779 was divided into present Lincoln and Rutherford Counties, the old Tryon records being placed at the courthouse in Lincolnton, N.C. The Gray lands thus fell into present Rutherford County in 1779.) Samuel Gray made his will in Tryon County 22 Apr. 1775 proven “the next morning after 4th Tuesday of July 1775” (Tryon/Lincoln County Court Records, 1769-1782, pages unnumbered.) The will named his wife Agnes Gray and children: (1) John Gray; (2) William Gray, moved to Jefferson Co., TN; (3) James Gray (1755-1836), later known as Major James Gray, Revolutionary War officer (captain and major), serving from 1775 to the end of the war, married Jane McClure of Rutherford Co.; (4) David Gray; (5) Ann Gray; (6) “all the children” including son Joseph Gray, who was not named in the will because it appears certain that he was born after his father’s death. The executor was his son James Gray. Samuel served in the military in 1744 in Muster Roll of Capt. John Buchanan. He died on 22 Apr 1775 in Tryon Co., NC.

SAMUEL GRAY (c.1726-1775), son of John Gray above, was born in Ulster, Northern Ireland, and died in old Tryon County (now Rutherford County), N.C. He married Agnes (Nancy) McClung (d. 10 Aug. 1809). They lived in Augusta County, Va. until 1765, when they sold their lands in the Borden Tract and moved southward.

(His father's will was dated in April 1775; in the summer or fall of 1850, Joseph Gray stated in the Monroe Co., Ga. Census that he was age 75, suggesting that his birthday had occurred well past the month of April in 1775.) In his will Samuel Gray expressed concern for the education of his children and provided instructions and funds toward that end. The executor was his son James Gray.

Migration History: The first Settlers of Augusta County, Virginia arrived in the 1720's primarily from Pennsylvania, Maryland and Eastern Virginia. Some were German-born or the Pennsylvania-born children of German-speaking Protestant immigrants from the Palatinate and other areas bordering the Rhine River. These were Lutheran, Reformed, or Brethren. The greatest numbers of early Augusta settlers were from the province of Ulster in the north of Ireland, or were the Pennsylvania and Maryland-born children of these Ulster Scots or Scotch-Irish Presbyterians. Many early settlers took up land on the 112,000-acre tract that the colonial government granted to William Beverley, later referred to as "Beverley Manor". In 1739, Benjamin Borden a New Jersey Quaker, received a grant beginning at the southern boundary of Beverley Manor. Borden was promised 1,000 acres for every settler he located, amounting in all to 92,100 acres. John McDowell, a surveyor, helped Borden locate his tract and was rewarded with a large acreage. The "Borden Tract" later became Rockbridge County, VA. In addition to the Scot's Irish, English and African-Americans were also among the early settlers in the area. Many settlers were of of English descent, coming into the area from eastern Virginia. African Americans were also among the early settlers, some free-born, but most enslaved. Although initially small in number, by the Civil War they represented 20% of the population. (Source: Augusta County Historical Society, http://www.augustacountyhs.org/history.html) Augusta County was created from Orange County in 1738. For seven years, until the population grew large enough, Augusta’s records were kept in Orange. In 1745, Augusta elected a sheriff, a vestry, a county court, a minister, and a clerk of court. A courthouse was built on the same site in Staunton (originally called Beverley’s Mill Place) as the current courthouse. The county’s records have been kept continuously at the courthouse since 1745. In that year, the county included all of present southwestern Virginia, most of present West Virginia and even stretched to the Mississippi River. As people began to settle in those western areas, new counties were formed from parts of Augusta, beginning in 1769 with Botetourt County, then Rockingham and Rockbridge in 1778.

365 | Index Library, Vol. 62, London Marriage Licenses, page 120. Guildhall Library, City of London Libraries, London EC.2, MS 10, 091/16: 17 Mo Jun 1634... "This day appeared personally Thomas Glascock of ye parishe of St. Mary Whitechappell in ye county of Middlesex, joyner and a batchelor aged about 23 yeares and at his owne government & alledgeth that he intendeth to marry Jane Juet of ye same place, maiden aged about 23 years & att her own government, her parents being deceased & that there is noe lawful lett or impediment by reason of any precontract, consanguinity, affinity or otherwise, to hinder this intended marriage, he made faith and desired license for them to be married in ye parish churche of St. Mary Staynings, London. (Signed) Thomas Glascock (Signed) Row: Jennings--(Rowland Jennings, surrogate of the Vicar General of the Bishop of London)" (See The Glas(s)cocks of England and America by Rev. Lawrence A. Glassco on page 231 for a copy of the license). By signing his name Thomas shows he was of the Gentry class. Thomas had moved to VA with his family by 1643 because on 30 Aug 1643 he received two land patents. From the patents we know his wife's name was "Jane". The reason for moving might have been the 1642 Civil War in England instigated by a power struggle between King Charles I and the Parliment led by Oliver Cromwell. One of the 1643 patents was for 130 acres in Warwick River Co. "parallel to his own and land of John Leyden and adjacent to land of Thomas Davis" possibly for transporting three persons to Virginia from England. This was for land on the lower part of the penninsula between the James and York Rivers and situated near the James River somewhat between Newport News, Hampton and Yorktown. John Leyden is listed in the records as an "Ancient Planter", one who arrived in Virginia before 1616. He arrived with John Smith and the first settlers, at age 27, on the "Susan Constant" in 1607. On 30 Aug 1643, Thomas also patented 200 acres "a mile and a half upon the south side of Peankatanke River, adjacent Christopher Boyce" for transporting 4 persons to Virginia, which included Thomas and his wife, Jane. In 1652 he was appointed Justice of the Peace for the Peankatanke area by the Burgesses, sitting at Jamestown. The Peankatanke River was north of his other patent, between the York and the Rappahannock Rivers. It flows into the Chesapeak Bay just a few miles below the mouth of the Rappahannock. The first patent on the Rappahannock was granted in 1642, and only four others before Thomas'. The south shore of the Peankatanke was inhabited by the Chiskiake Indians. It is believe that the Glascocks lived in this are for about 9 years. On 28 Jul 1652 Thomas was granted a patent for 600 acres about 30 miles north of his Peankatanke land, on Morattico Creek in Lancaster Co. of VA. Two hundred of these acres were received in exchange for the surrender of his first patent for the land on the Peankatanke River and the remaining 400 acres were for transporting eight more persons to the colony. On 9 Jan 1662, Thomas received another patent for 280 acres adjoining the land he had at the head of the Morattico Creek for transporting 6 more persons. It is most likely that he moved his family north onto the Morattico Creek property during the early 1660s. Morattico Creek was named for the "Moraughtacund Indians". "Thomas Glassocks's land, in Lancaster Co., is on a narrow seaboard peninsula of VA called the 'Northern Neck' which is bounded on the east by Chesapeake Bay, on the north by the Potomac River (River of Swans), and on the south by the Rappahannock River (Quick Rising Waters). Only fifteen to twenty miles wide, it runs inland between the great rivers for about a hundred miles. The Glascock land is located on the point of land at the junction of the Morattico and the Lancaster (formerly also called the Morattico) Creeks where they flow into the Rappahannock River, and is thus surrounded on three sides by water. The land is situated uphill from the little fishing village of Simonson. The East Creek (Lancaster Creek) is the boundary between Richmond and Lancaster Counties... This area was one of the most densely inhabited parts of Powhaten's Empire, and the hardest fighting must have occurred along the Rappahannock near the 'Indian Banks' area." (Source: The Glas(s)cock--Glassco Saga, by Lawrence A. Glassco) The Thomas Glascock Family (Thomas Glascock & Jane Juet & children - the immigrants) have their family name inscribed on the American Immigrant Wall of Honor on Ellis Island in New Jersey (near the Statue of Liberty - next island in New York). The family appears on Panel # 706 which was just recently installed in late December, 2003. I have chosen to have the Thomas Glascock Family - our immigrant ancestors of about 1643- to be honored on the Wall of Honor at Ellis Island. Although our Glascock family did not immigrate through Ellis Island, this wall has been chosen to honor immigrants to the USA. The wall contains the names of President George Washington's great grandfather and John F. Kennedy's great grandparents among others. If you travel to Ellis Island be sure and see the wall where Thomas Glascock & Jane (Juet) Glascock & children are honored. | Glascocke, Thomas I (I124)

366 | James Herron came over to the states when he was 17 about 1767 or so. He married Jane Simpson, who came over in 1772. He came on the ship "Earl of Hillsborough" from Belfast to Charleston and was granted 100 acres of land on 27 Feb 1767 in the Booneboro Township. This info is from the original lists of Protestant Immigrants to SC. 1763-1773 compiled by Jane Revill and published by genealogical publications in 1981. They had seven children, most supposedly moving to Alabama. The next generation I'm not really sure about. Either James II or John I, born abt 1772, was the father of John Herron II. He was born 29 Apr 1798 and married Nancy Gentry (b. 4 Dec 1801) on 13 Jan 1824.

372 | John Millison m. about 1816 Sarah Lewis and 2nd Ann Steel, b. 1802, resided Henry Co., IA. By his first wife, John Millison had 2 sons and a daughter, and by his second at least 6 more children. John was disowned in 1822 for marrying his second wife contrary to discipline. His father purchased for John in 1819 a tract along the road from Brownsville to Pittsburgh in Pike Run Twp which contained thereon the "Black Horse Tavern." When his father died in 1841, John immediately put his farm up for sale and moved to Iowa. He farmed in Jackson Township, Henry County, Iowa in 1850. His children are in the 1850 census in Henry County, Iowa, all were born in PA: Barnett, 27; Jehu, 24; Prudence, 20; John, 17; Nimrod, 15 and Clark, 11. According to her descendant, Kathy Parrish Smiggs (see the Millison GenForum link), Prudence Millison d/o John, was born 5/6/1830 in PA and married in IA ,William McLean Welton. Prudence died in Kansas. Clark Millison s/o John, was born 14 Sep 1838 and died 20 Oct 1931 in Salina, Saline Co, KS. He married 1st Rebecca Daugherty, 2nd Mary Roberts, and 3rd Nancy Jane Halloway.

373 | Joseph Cobbs I was born in England abt 1588. In 1613 he arrived in Virginia on the London Company ship, "Treasurer". He settled on land east of the James River. He returned to England and then back to Virginia to prepare for the arrival of his family. His wife, Elizabeth Flinton, and their sons, Benjamin and Joseph, arrived in Virginia in 1625 on the "Bonnie Bess". Elizabeth was the sister of a colonial physician named Pharoah Flinton. Pharoah Cobb, who was born sometime before 1641, was named for him. Joseph Cobb was granted 400 acres in Isle of Wight County, Virginia. His Will was executed in 1654, and is probated in Isle of Wight County Will Book A, page 520. Apparently Elizabeth widow of Joseph married 2nd William Ridley who died in 1671. Children of Joseph Cobbs and wife Elizabeth: 1. Joseph Cobb Jr. 1610 Amsterdam - 1654 a. Elizabeth Cobb married Richard Hutchins 2. Benjamin Cobb 1611/12 Amsterdam - *a. Elizabeth Cobb married Francis Hutchins [brother of Richard] 3. Pharoah Cobb ca 1624 - 1701 married Ann married 2nd Mary a. Joseph Cobb ca 1660 - 1752 married Susanna *Braswell b. Edward Cobb ca 1662/5 - i. Nicholas Cobb 1689 - 1752 4. Elizabeth Cobb ca 1626 - *married Charles Barham d 1690 5. Henry Cobb no record 6. Nicholas Cobb ca 1630/32 - 1686 married Susanna Byrd 7. Jane Cobb 1626 - married William Tooke 1626 - 1675 8. daughter ca 1620 - married Edmund Prime *Joe Cobb notes there is no direct proof of the connection. but the records indicates it (Sources: "Nicholas Cobb Descendants, Neighbors and Relatives 1613-1983" by Joe H Cobb 1983; and "The Cobbs of the Tidewater" by Bruce Montgomery Edwards 1976) Joseph Cobbs, who was probably also a Puritan and may have been born in Holland, arrived in Jamestown (or James Cittie, as it was known then) in 1613 on the ship Treasurer. He married an Elizabeth, who was probably related to Farrar "Pharaoh" Flinton, another Jamestown settler. This "Pharao Flynton" witnessed the will of Christopher Lawne, for whom Lawne's Creek was named. Joseph and Elizabeth subsequently named one of their sons "Pharaoh", as well, thus introducing the name into this branch of the Cobb family. I like to think that the name serves as a male genetic marker for this line! [Note: the spelling F-a-r-r-a-h, as in Farrah Fawcett, the actress, is closer phonetically to the actual pronounciation of "Pharaoh" within the family] The given name Farrar may have originated at the surname Farrar; see the will of John Farrowe alias Farrar. For another possible explanation of the name, see an article (on page 312) from a 1927 issue of the Overland Monthly and Out West Magazine. By 1617 the Virginia colony had been divided into the Incorporations of Henricus, Charles City, James City, and Kecoughtan. In 1624, the Virginia Company lost its proprietary charter, and Virginia became a royal colony. In 1634, the King of England directed the formation of eight shires (or counties) in the colony, which had by then approximately 5,000 inhabitants: 1. Charles City 2. Elizabeth City - which replaced the "heathen" name of Kecoughtan 3. Henrico 4. James City 5. Accomack 6. Charles River 7. Warrosquyoake Shire (renamed Isle of Wight County in 1637) 8. Warwick River Joseph and Elizabeth Cobb eventually moved from Elizabeth Cittie, where they were recorded living in the Muster of 1624/5, to Isle of Wight county, along with many other Puritans. According to Seventeenth Century Isle of Wight County, Virginia: A History of the County of Isle of Wight by John Bennett Boddie: In June, 1642, the county was divided into two parishes. The General Assembly ordered the commissioners of Isle of Wight to obtain surveyors to divide the county provided that the profits of the whole county "remain unto Mr. Faulkner, clerke, during his residence there, notwithstanding any other minister that should be employed on any of the said parishes during the interim. The parishes to be called The Upper and Lower Parishes. "The Upper Parish to extend from Lawne's Creek to the eastern side of the bay, the creek dividing the plantation of Sam Davis and Joseph Cobbs to be the extent of the division of the said Upper Parish. "The Lower Parish to extend from Pagan's Point upon the bay including all the southerly side to the plantation of the said Cobbs." In the census of settlers taken in Virginia, 7 February 1624/25, Joseph Cobb made his muster in Elizabeth City County where many of the settlers were then living because of fear of the Indians. His muster included himself Joseph Cobb, aged 25, in the "Treasoror", 1613, Elizabeth Cobb, aged 25, in the "Bone Bes", 1623, and John Snowood, aged 25, vessel and year of arrival not stated.1,5,6 In 1629 the Court ordered Joseph Cobb, Gent. and Mr. Farrar Flinton, to appraise the goods of Thomas Clarke who died at sea on the Elizabeth of London, May 1625.7 Joseph Cobb received a grant of 400 acres of land in Isle of Wight County, Virginia, 4 August 1637, on a "branch of Warwicksquike River, now called New Town haven," and on the back creek parting it from the land of John Vaslers, due for the personal adventure of himself, wife, Elizabeth, two sons Joseph and Benjamin, and four servants; renewed 1 September 1643. Few of the land grants even to the earliest planters were recorded before 1635. In an Act of Assembly, 6 January 1638/39, Joseph Cobb was named as a tobacco viewer from "the Indian feild to the Levie neck." In 1642, Isle of Wight was divided into two parishes. The Upper Parish was to extend from Lawne's Creek to the eastern side of the Bay, the creek dividing the plantation of Samuel Davis and Joseph Cobb in Isle of Wight County. Joseph Cobbs made his will 1 March 1653/54, "aged sixty years," in Isle of Wight County mentioning wife Elizabeth Cobbs and children Benjamin Cobbs, Pharoah Cobbs and Elizabeth Cobbs. Whereas Pharaoh Cobbs and Ann his wife by their deed dated 10 April 1671, confirmed to George Williams a tract of land in L.P.

379 | Maj Thaddeus Solon Beall Birth: 1832 Walton County Georgia, USA Death: May 29, 1903 Lafayette Chambers County Alabama, USA The LaFayette Sun", June 10, 1903: T. S. Beall The subject of this sketch was born in Walton Co., Ga., in 1833 and died in LaFayette, Ala., May 29th, 1903. He was married to Miss Carrie M. Boyd in 1862. There were ten children born unto them, two of whom died in childhood; four of them, Lucius, Misses Celeste and Kate, and Mrs. Lillie Scott died in the last few years. Mrs. Beall also died about five years ago. The four children who still live are J. Walter, and Frank M. Beall, Mrs. Lula Fears, and Mrs. Exa Kelley, of Garrison, Texas. T. S. Beall was a well educated man, had been admitted to the bar, and had taught school in Chambers and Lee counties at different intervals for about twenty five years. At the time of his death he held a teacher's Life Certificate. During the War he raised a company known as Beall's Battalion. He was made Major, which position he filled with credit and honor to himself and country. When the war closed he returned to find all in confusion and chaos, with property gone and no labor except a lot of demoralized ex-slaves, but he took hold under these sad conditions, raised a large family, gave them a fair education, and I can truthfully say they are a credit to their parents. Maj. Beall was a genial, affable, and pleasant man, in conversation; jovial, good natured, and full of life. If he had an enemy, I never heard it. Maj. Beall at one time connected himself with the Baptist Church at Liberty in Lee County, near where he taught school. He was an honest man, and while he had his faults and failings, let us case gently the mantle of charity over them, and remember only his many virtues. Being reared by indulgent parents in what was then considered the lap of luxury, is it any wonder that it was hard for him to meet the miserable conditions that were presented to the young man after the war? Now, out of a large family of brothers and sisters, there are only two left, Dr. A. J. Beall, of San Marcos and Mrs. America Waskom, of Henderson, Texas. The funeral service was appropriately and impressively conducted by Rev. W. T. Hollingsworth at the home of Mrs. J. H. Blanton, his niece, after which a number of his friends and neighbors carried him to the old family burying ground and laid him to rest beside his wife to await the resurrection. Peace to his ashes.

388 | Military: Peter fought for the British in Revolutionary War and was killed in the Battle of Ramsour's Mill, NC. The Battle of Ramsour's Mill took place on June 20, 1780 near present-day Lincolnton, North Carolina, during the British campaign to gain control of the southern colonies in the American Revolutionary War. About 400 American militia defeated 1,300 Loyalist militiamen. The battle did not involve any regular army forces from either side, and was literally fought between neighbors. Despite being outnumbered, the Patriot militia defeated the Loyalists. The battle was significant in that it lowered the morale of Loyalists in the south, weakening their support of the British. Note: land was taken and (the Costner) family was left in great hardship Book: OK LMH pg. 232 - 233 children 235 - 238 Peter Costner died in the Battle of Ramsour's Mill: Sources: "The Battle of Ramsours Mill"Peter Zimmerman was able to read and write German. his signature, printed on the first page of this sketch, was located on the marriage bond of his son Samuel Carpenter. Peter was a skilled craftsman, a blacksmith, whose trade was necessary on the frontier. He valued education highly, and all his sons whose signatures I located signed their names legibly in English or German. He acquired property and status in the community. His friends and neighbors thought highly enough of him to elect him Captain of his militia company. As the threat of conflict in the American Revolution appeared greater, his judgment and influence was more valuable. Records reveal a most interesting mixture concerning the allegiance of Peter Zimmerman to the Revolutionary cause. When studying the American Revolution, too many researchers assume that an individual was either loyal to Great Britain, a Tory, or was a Patriot, also called a Whig. Peter Zimmerman exemplifies a very large number of persons in frontier NC. He was both Tory and Whig, and he also assumed the status of a Neutral. The important point to remember is that Peter, as did others, reacted to circumstances as they arose. He was most interested in preserving his home, his family, and his way of life in NC. His choice of allegiance usually centered around which side was winning at the time and where the greatest threat to his home and family centered. During the summer of 1776 the Cherokee Indians raided western settlements and disrupted frontier NC. In order to put down the Indian threat, Brigadier General Griffith Rutherford organized a 2000 man army made up of militia from western NC. In the Military Papers - Treasurers & Comptrollers Papers located at the State Archives was the claim of Capt. Peter Carpenter for his part in the Cherokee Expedition: The expedition was successful in that the Cherokees never again threatened the Tryon (Lincoln) Co. area. Because historians interpret Rutherfords Expedition as Patriot (Whig) planned and executed, many descendants have entered the DAR on Peters service in the expedition. It is doubtful that Tory vs. Whig Politics played any part in Peters decision to fight. For him he was defending his home from the Indians. From 1776-1779 there was little military activity in frontier NC. But by 1780 the British had captured Georgia and South Carolina, and they planned to invade NC. Whig prospects appeared very bleak. On June 7, 1780, Lieutenant-Colonel John Moore the son of Peter's Indian Creek neighbor Moses Moore, returned to Lincoln Co. and called out the loyalist militia. By June 13 he had assembled 200 Tories at Ramsours Mill, near present Lincolnton High School, where he ordered the local Tories to gather, to grind grain, and to prepare to join Lord Cornwallis in SC. By June 20 Moores Tory army numbered between 1300-1500 militiamen, many of whom were ill equipped. Col. Francis Locke headed a 350-400 man Whig militia force which marched from Rowan Co. to attack the Tory force.Shortly after sunrise on June 20, 1780, the Whig army surprised Moores army. A fierce fight ensued for about half an hour. Neither side wore uniforms with the Whigs wearing white paper or cloth in their hats while Tories pinned a green twig to theirs. Many of Peters German friends fought with him: the Warlick's the Hoyle's the Costner's, the Baker's, the Huffstetler's, and the Mauney's. But their battle failed. The Whigs forced the Tory army toward the mill pond. They panicked with some falling in the mill pond and Clarks Creek. Moore requested a parley which he hoped would buy time for his army. Instead, his Tory friends slipped away to their homes. It had been a bloody confrontation with 57 Tories killed, 55 Whigs killed, and over 100 wounded. One of the wounded was Capt. Peter Carpenter. Family tradition, which was also printed in CK, tells us that Peter was shot through the side. He left the battlefield and swam the South Fork River. Upon reaching the bank on the other side he collapsed where his family found him and took him to his home. The wound was cleaned by pulling a cloth entirely through his body. He recovered from his wound, but his loyal support for the British government had been effectively cooled. For the remainder of the war he could best he described as Neutral. He even sold supplies to the Patriots. Another story has been passed down in the in the family concerning his next encounter with the British. In Jan. 1781 while Cornwallis pursued General Nathaniel Greene, the British army encamped on a portion of Peters land. While there the soldiers burned a portion of Peters rail fencing. Possessing a fiery temper Peter pledged to construct. a fence the British could not burn. He then built the stone wall which is located to the north of Everette Carpenters present home. All that is left of the stone wall is a row of stones lying on the ground. The Patriot government of NC had feared an active Tory population. They had passed Tory Confiscation Laws in 1777 and 1779 which gave county officials the authority to seize land and other property of Tories or Tory sympathizers. Lincoln Co. had Commissioners of confiscated property whose job it was to seize the property and to keep accounts on it. On Sept. 19, 1782, Petter Carpenter headed a list of 34 names of those that are supposed to come under the Confiscation Act. In Oct. Sessions 1785 the commissioners reported that 520 pounds of beef had been confiscated from Peter Carpenter worth $28 3/4 or Special 11 and 10 shillings. He had neighbors who also lost property: Jacob Mauney Jr., John Alexander of Indian Creek, Moses Moore, and the estate of dec. Peter Costner who was killed at Ramsours Mill. These records are located at the State Archives filed under Confiscation Papers and in the County Court Minutes.How much influence Peter Zimmerman may have lost during the Revolutionary period is not known. Before the Revolution his name appeared frequently as a juror in the Court Minutes . (Carpenters A Plenty by Robert Carpenter pages 497-498. Gateway Press, Inc. Baltimore 1993 (CK may be Carpenters Kin) The Tryon Resolves: In Tryon County there were many loyal subjects of the king, and there was likewise a gallant band of patriots who as early as August, 1775, adopted and signed the following bold declaration: " The unprecedented, barbarous and bloody actions committed by British troops on our American brethren near Boston, on 19th April and 20th of May last, together with the hostile operations and treacherous designs now carrying on, by the tools of ministerial vengeance, for the subjugation of all British America, suggest to us the painful necessity of having recourse to arms in defense of our National freedom and constitutional rights, against all invasions; and at the same time do solemnly engage to take up arms and risk our lives and our fortunes in maintaining the freedom of our country whenever the wisdom and counsel of the Continental Congress or our Provincial Convention shall declare it necessary; and this engagement we will continue in for the preservation of those rights and liberties which the principals of our Constitution and the laws of God, nature and nations have made it our duty to defend. We therefore, the subscribers, freeholders and inhabitants of Tryon County, do hereby faithfully unite ourselves under the most solemn ties of religion, honor and love to our county, firmly to resist force by force, and hold sacred till a reconciliation shall take place between Great Britain and America on Constitutional principals, which we most ardently desire, and do firmly agree to hold all such persons as inimical to the liberties of America who shall refuse to sign this association.

Pitt Co NC DB MM, p. 155, May 29, 1848, Robert Knox of Harrison Co., Texas appoints Isaac Joyner of Pitt, attorney to receive part as heir of estate of Allison Knox, dec. The following is from Notes of Peggy Bruckner: Consistently signed his name as Alison (one l), but also appeared in Court and Estate Records as Allison Knox. Alison is a very elusive character. He owned land in Mecklenburg, which is referenced in other deeds, but never appears in a deed as either Grantor or Grantee. He married Capt Patrick Knox's widow, Mary who is believed to have been a Smith. After their marriage, Alison became the Administrator of Patrick's Estate. Some researchers believe he was Patrick's brother, but I find nothing that supports that speculation. He almost certainly is near-kin, so may also be a cousin. There is some confusion among researchers as to who and when he married...and who his children might be... Other than the documented marriage to Mary Knox, the widow of Patrick, I find no evidence of any other marriage. If Mary Ann Knox, b. 1785 was the daughter of Alison, then she has to be the daughter of Mary, since Patrick’s Estate Papers say Alison was married to Mary before 1785… Mary is still alive in July 1800 when Patrick’s Estate is settled and a deed specifically states she has “lifetime” dower rights. Alison Knox closes out Patrick’s Estate in July 1800, so it is unlikely he was married to anyone else. Alison totally disappeared from Mecklenburg between 1830 and 1840, leaving no trace. No LWT, no Estate Papers, no Court Records…nothing. This looks more like a move than a death. It seems possible that he moved to Alabama with his assumed daughter, Mary Ann (Knox) Shelby, who married Moses A. Shelby – but this is speculation on my part. (not Moses A. Shelby - MCM - 2005) Peggy Bruckner's Notes: This Benjamin W. Davidson is Benjamin Wilson Davidson, son of Violet Winslow (Wilson) Davidson and Major John Davidson, Sr, Signer of Mecklenburg Declaration. Benjamin Wilson Davidson married Elizabeth Latta, daughter of James and Jane (Knox) Latta, dau. of Robert and Mary (Ewart) Knox. | Knox (in question), Alison (I3732)

One involving Aaron Campbell and John Campbell mention some of the land as being "part of a 200 acre granted to Alcy Campbell". A David Campbell is also given. The Prestridges and Campbells seem to have started in Franklin County, GA about 1797,moved to Amite County, MS (in 1810 Census); moved to Monroe County, AL Territory in 1816; moved to Cherokee County, TX in 1847/48. A few years ago, a Prestridge researcher in OK was talking to a lady in Hood County, TX about some other family names and mentioned she was wanting to know if anything was known about the maiden name of Larkin's wife, Alcy. Another woman, also very elderly, was visiting in the home of the Hood County lady at that time and said that Alcy's father was John Campbell and her grandfather was Joe Campbell. She said that Alcy had a brother named Aaron. She also said that the Walling family was involved and spoke of Lucinda Bell. She further said that Alcy's mother's grandfather was a John Walling. Said the Wallings and Campbells had later lived in Cherokee County, TX and then in Hood County, same as the Prestridges. Of course, we don't know how much of this is the truth but at least it provides us some clues.
