| 15 | From the History of Mecklenburg County: from 1740-1790 by John Brevard Alexander Included in article re: to Governor Nathaniel Alexander, son of Colonel Moses Alexander, are references to Gov Alexander being one of the five sons of Moses Alexander. Gov Alexander, a physician by training, married Margaret Polk, a daughter of Col Thomas Polk and Susannah Spratt. Other sources say that Margaret was the granddaughter of Thomas Polk and that she was the daughter of Dr Ephraim Brevard. Another son of Col Moses was William Alexander who married Elizabeth Henderson. Information re: to birth and death of Governor Nathaniel Alexander and his wife Margaret Polk can also be found at www.findagrave.com. They are both buried in the Old Settlers Cemetery in Charlotte. Thomas Polk is sometimes cited as being "the founder" of Charlotte. He is buried in the Old Settlers Cemetery as well. | Alexander, Col. Moses Jr. (I10164)

| 16 | Robert Knox states in his October 1832 Revolutionary War Pension application that he was "born in the County of Dawn in Ireland in the year 1742"...he lived in " what was called Tryon County, now Lincoln County, when I entered the service and have lived in said county since the Revolutionary War and now live there." (Source: Karen Knox Hayes to knox-dna ... Group Number 1 FTDNA ID number: 27996: "Our first record of Robert is in 1775. He purchased 160 acres on Killian Creek in Tryon County, NC on 7 Oct 1775 from William King. (recorded in Tryon Co Deeds p. 252-253) He then sold this land on 11 Jan 1785 (then in Lincoln Co) to John Boggs (recorded in Lincoln Co Deeds p. 787) [Note: Tryon County was formed from Mecklenburg County in 1768 and existed until 1779. In 1779 Lincoln County was formed from Tryon County.] In 1788 Robert purchased land from Robert and Margaret McKessick. (recorded in Lincoln Co Conveyances, Book 3, p. 429) Although the records list Robert Knox as serving in the militia at the Battle of Kings Mountain, he stated himself in his 1832 pension application that he was not at the battle. "I was in the service in the army that marched against Ferguson and the Tories, to Kings Mountain, under Colonels Graham and Johns(t)on, this time I cannot recollect but know I was not in the battle at Kings Mountain, having been sent by Colonel Johnson upon some business. I recollect joining the army commanded by General Green, near Camden, and having being (been) placed out as sentinel the first night." Robert Knox was granted a Revolutionary War Pension in 1833 at age 90 shortly before his death. His Will was written March 13, 1830, and proved in court in 1833 at the Lincoln Co., NC courthouse. (Will Book 1 p.288) Estate to be divided amongst his wife Mary and seven of his children. Daughter Jane Knox Latta received Five Dollars, but did not share in the division of the estate. Son Robert and Daughter Agnes were not mentioned in the will; it is presumed they had predeceased their father. Son William and Robert E. Bell were Executors of the estate. I descend from Robert's son James and can document most of James' descendents to the present day. Many of his descendents remained in Mecklenburg, Iredell and Lincoln Counties NC but some of them migrated to Tennessee and Arkansas." (Source of following information: Peggy Bruckner) Robert Knox, lived on a part of Samuel Knox's property which was in York Co., SC. In the 1790 York Co., SC census, there is only one Knox listed and that is one Robert Knox. In the neighborhood where he was located were Lincoln County Pension Roll. On the pension roll as late as 1834, more than fifty years after the Revolution, the following is the Lincoln County list of soldiers yet living and drawing pension: Robert Abernathy, Vincent Allen, Christian Arny, Matthew Armstrong, Robert Berry, Jonas Bradshaw, Caspar Bolick, Alexander Brevard, Samuel Caldwell, William Carroll, John Chittim, Michael Cline, Samuel Collins, Martin Coulter, Thomas Costner, George Dameron, Joseph Dixon, Peter Eddlemon, William Elmore, Samuel Espey, James Farewell, Abraham Forney, Robinson Goodwin, Joseph Graham, William Gregory, Nathan Gwaltney, Nicholas Hafner, Simon Hager, John Harman, John Helm, James Henry, James Hill, John Kidd, John Kincaid, Robert Knox, Shadrack Lefcy, Tapley Mahannas, Marmaduke Maples, Samuel Martin, Thomas Mason, William Mayes, William McCarthy, William McLean, Nathan Mendenhall, Alexander Moore, John Moore, William Moore, Jeremiah Mundy, Humphrey Parker, Hiram Pendleton, Jacob Plonk, William Potter, William Rankin, Charlie Regan, Adam Reep, Joshua Roberts, James Robinson, Henry Rumfeldt, Peter Schrum, John Stamey, Bartholomew Thompson, Charles Thompson, Phillip Tillman, Conrad Tippong, Robert Tucker, John Turbyfill, Charles Whit, John Wilfong, Joseph Willis, James Wilkinson, and Elisha Withers. The first documented record (I find) of my Robert Knox in North Carolina is his October 7, 1775 purchase of 160 acres on the "branches of Killian's Creek, adjacent to Ramsey's line." The land was purchased from William King of Tryon County and is recorded on pages 252-253 of Tryon County Deeds. Robert sold this same land on January 11, 1785, which was then Lincoln County, to John Boggs, as recorded in the Lincoln County Deeds, page 787. Tryon County was formed from Mecklenburg County in 1768. Tryon existed as a County from 1768 until 1779. Lincoln County was formed from Tryon County in 1779, during the American Revolution. In 1780, when he fought against the Tories in the American Revolution, Robert still owned his land on the branches of Killian's Creek.

Polly B. bef 1814, and d. 16 July 1860, Mecklenburg Co, NC., WAS NOT the son of Robert & Mary (Ewart) Knox. He has been confused with another John Knox, b. 1798-1799, who m.

(1) Margaret McElwee bef 1826; (2) Jane Bell - 18 Sep 1827 – Lincoln * About the Source Document: Robert and Mary’s children’s names and birthdates, with the exception of son John, come from a page handwritten by Mary (Knox) Ewart, and inserted into the Family Bible of William M. and Ruth (McConnell) Knox. William was the proven son of Robert and Mary. On the right margin on this page, there are typewritten notes (placed on this 1980 copy by an unknown source) which give the names of the spouse, if any, for each child. At the bottom there is also a typewritten note which reads: “This omits the oldest son John, mentioned in the will, who is said to have married (1) and (2) Jane Bell” Whoever added these typewritten notations has assumed that John was the oldest son, however, the early Lincoln County NC census records Do not support this assumption. In addition, Robert’s March 1830 LWT named son, William Knox as Executor, probably because Robert Jr, the first-born son was apparently already deceased – making William Knox the eldest surviving son in March 1830. This explains why Robert left his Plantation to John, who would have been his youngest surviving son. The assumption being the youngest son would outlive his elderly mother, and care for her until her death -- which was a quite common practice at that time. ** Comment: it seems very strange to me that Robert and Mary named consecutive daughters Nancy and Agnes, which are essentially the same name, since one is a nickname for the other… that would be like naming one Peggy and the other Margaret… | Knox, Robert (I3580)

The shortened variations of the spelling included "Baell", "Ball",and Balle". John Balle, born 1263 in Norfolk County, England,is one of the earliest recorded but with very little information. The "Mad Preacher of Kent", John Ball, is the most recorded following John Balle. Having great disdain for royalty while preaching "equality among men" and believing no man had the right to set himself as master of others, he was beheaded by Richard II, King of England in 1381. VA Genealogies by Rev. Horace Edwin Hayden, page 47, in the notes at the bottom is stated: "Mrs. Washington's grandfather, Col. William Ball was the first of the family who came to VA., and settled near the mouth of the Corotomon River. It appears from a memorandum of Joseph Ball Esq., that he married in London, the 2nd day of July, 1638, a Miss Hannah Atherall, by whom he had Richard who it is supposed died an infant, as he is not mentioned in his father's Will; William born 2nd June 1641; Joseph born the 25th of May, 1649; and Hannah born about the middle of March, 1650; but whether they were born in England or Virginia, I cannot learn. William the 2nd son of the 1st of that name married a Miss Williamson, an Englishwoman, by whom he had William, Richard, James, Joseph, George, David, Margaret, Stretchley and Samuel. Joseph the 3rd son of the 1st William, married Miss Rogers by whom he had Joseph, born the 11th of March 1684; Elizabeth who married the Rev'd Mr. Carnegie; Hannah who married Mr. Travers; Anne who married Col. Edwin Conway; & Easter (sic) who married Mr. Raleigh Chinn; he afterwards married Mrs. Washington's mother, by whom he had her, and soon afterward died. His Will is dated the 5th of June 1711." William Ball of Lincoln’s Inn – living in 1634 – date of death unknown – 1 son, Col. Wm. Col. William Ball was the Ball immigrant. He was the great grandfather of George Washington. Almost all of these Virginia ancestors were members of the House of Burgesses. William was a member of the House of Burgesses, 1669-73 The majority of the earliest ancestors came to VA in the 1630-1650 era. The Balls were from Lancaster Co., VA. There are a great deal of hand written land grants at Virginia Land Office Patents & Grants/Northern Neck Grants & Surveys. Much can be found at the Mary Ball Washington Library and St. Mary's White Chapel Church. They consider Ball descendents to be royality. (Source: Ted Kaufman, Dallas, TX 2002) I went to Lancaster Co., VA, and the Mary Ball Library, in Oct. of 2003 and found much information on the Ball line. (MCM) Sources: "Colonel William Ball of Virginia, The Great-Grandfather of Washington" by Earl L. W. Heck, published and sold by Sydney Wm. Dutton, 103, Newgate Street, London, E. C.1. MCMXXVIII, (on file at National Genealogical Society Library, 4527 17th Street North, Arlington, VA) "Colonial Virginians and Their Maryland Relatives", by Norma Tucker (located at Montgomery County Historical Society, Rockville, MD) 1. Colonel William Ball (1615) and Hannah Atherall (Atherold) Born in England and educated in or about London. Evidence shows that he was married July 2, 1638, to Miss Hannah Atherall or Atherold, the daugher of Thomas Atherold. He probably left England soon after the death of King Charles I., about 1650. He had studied law in England, and later interpreted the principles of Common Law for fellow Virginia colonists. He was a soldier "under Fairfax," and served in the Royal Army and took part in the (English) Civil Wars, remaining true to the royal standards and serving faithfully under the banners of the ill-fated King Charles. He was probably present at the battles of Naseby and Marston Moor. When the Royal Army was defeated, Colonel Ball lost the greater part of his considerable estates. In company with other royalists he fled to Virginia, the most loyal of the king's possessions, and last to surrender to Cromwell's authority. Colonel William Ball probably had a brother in Virginia. He did not apply for a land grant until at least 8 years after arriving in 1650. It is thought that he was waiting out the bad times at home and planned to return with the Stuarts were returned to the throne. He seems, however, to have operated a vessel between England and Virginia during this time. He first appears in the Colonial records as a Merchant, probably a tobacco merchant. After 1660, William Ball took an active part in the religious, political and social life of Virginia. In 1660 he was a member of a court to make a treaty with the Indians and to establish a boundary for the occupation of land by the white men. He first received the title of Colonel in 1672, the year he was the County Lieutenant of Lancaster. If you held such a rank, you may have earned is as a member of the General Court of Virginia. "This august and aristocratic body was always composed of the class known at that time as 'gentlemen,' men of wealth, family and influence, and whose official station added much to their influence. They, with the Governor, formed the executive council, who dispensed the entire patronage of the colony in the way of official appointment, at the same time that each individual himself was himself commissioned 'Colonel' by royal authority...The Governor was Lieutenant-General, the Councilors, Lieutenants of Counties with the title of Colonel, and in counties where a Councillor resided, some other person was appointed with rank of Major." (Introduction to Vo. I. Calendar Papers, by Palmer) It is probable that Colonel was not a member of the General Court, since his name does not appear as a member of the General Court, but, was a Colonel of Foot or Horse and not County Lieutenant. He was doubtless Presiding Magistrate and Colonel Commander of the County. He served on various committees in Lancaster County from 1675-7. He was presiding member of various courts held in Lancaster County. On March 28, 1675-6 he and Lieutenant-Colonel John Carter were empowered by the General Assembly of Virginia to mobilize men and horses to defend the colony against Indians. Their leader was Nathaniel Bacon. On August 14, 16777, he was present at a meeting to discuss taxes being imposed by the General Assembly to put down Bacon's rebellion. From 1670 until his death in 1680 he was a member of the Burgesses of Lancaster County. He eventually became a planter, and on January 18, 1663, received a grant of land on Narrrow Neck Creek in Lancaster County. Four years (apparently after promotion to Major) he received a joint grant of 1600 acres in the Countyof Rappahannock on the north side of the river of the same name together with Thomas Chetwood. A few months later he acquired 300 acres of rich bottom land adjoining the estate of Daniel Fox, who later became the Colonel's son-in-law. He built a beautiful Georgian mansion on his Lancaster County estate, which he named Millenbeck, probably after ome place in Warwickshire or Northamptonshire. The estate was held for four successive generations by William Balls and played a prominent part in Virginia history. Colonel Ball was a zealous supporter of the Virginia branch of the Church of England. He and John Washington were wardens of Christ Church, Lancaster County.

Captain Ball took an active part in the public affairs of Virginia. In 1687 he was appointed to lay off the boundary between Lancaster and Northumberland Counties.

| 22 | Patronymic surnames are based on the father’s given name. Generally, ap or ab was added between the child’s name and the father’s name. For example, David ab Owen is David "son of" Owen. For a woman’s name, the word ferch or verch (often abbreviated to vch), meaning "daughter of", was used. There were many exceptions to this: The family could drop the 'ab' or 'ap'. In this case, his name would have been simply David Owen. The family could drop the 'a' and attach the remaining 'p' or 'b' to the father’s name. For example, 'David ab Owen' could have been 'David Bowen'. In dealing with patronymic names, remember: The absence of 'ap' or 'ab' does not mean the family adopted a permanent surname. In south Wales particularly, patronymic surnames appeared without the 'ap' or 'ab'. Different naming patterns were often used in the same family. For example, Harry John’s six sons were named Griffith ap Harry, John Parry, Harry Griffith, Richard Parry, Miles ap Harry, and Thomas Parry. They might equally have used the surname John(s) or Jones. An illegitimate child may have used the given or surname of the reputed father, the surname of the mother, or the given or surname of the family who raised the child. Some families used patronymics after adopting a permanent surname. Never assume that a surname is a permanent surname. The father’s given name may be spelled differently as a surname even though it is pronounced the same (for example, Davies from David). The name may have been anglicized. Patronymic surnames changed with each generation. A widow may have reverted to using her maiden surname. Patronymic Name Surname ab Ifan, ab Evan Bevan ab Eynon Beynon ap Harri, ap Harry Parry ap Huw, ap Hugh Pugh ab Hwfa Povah, Povey ap Hywel, ap Howell Powell ab Owain, ab Owen Bowen ap Rhobyn, ap Robyn Probyn ap Rhydderch Prydderch, Prytherch ap Rhys Prees, Preece, Price ap Richard Prichard, Pritchard ap Robert Probert ap Roger Prodger This is just a quess-timation of how the later Mordecai's of this line came to be named Popkin. Earlier ap Hopkin was the "surname" before surnames became the established later name. This is how I imagine that "ap Hopkin" morphed itself into "Popkin". It is not a documentation. It gives me, and those researching this line, something to work with. (MCM -2002) Because of patronymic naming customs, the International Genealogical Index lists Welsh entries under both given names and surnames. On the compact disc edition, you can also search for either a given name or a surname. The International Genealogical Index for Wales can be difficult to use unless you understand a few points. The Welsh names in the International Genealogical Index have come from two main sources: a systematic extraction of the christenings, births, and marriages in church and chapel records and entries submitted by individual researchers. The Parish and Vital Records List is a list of the records and time periods that were systematically extracted. This list is available in print or microfiche formats at the Family History Library and in the Family History Centers. Many Welsh people did not have surnames in much of the period covered by the International Genealogical Index. They used patronymics. Other families had established surnames. In 1813, the Established Church in Wales started using a standard, printed form for their parish registers, which included a column for surname. This made it relatively easy to determine if the family was using patronymics. Before that date, there wasn’t a surname column, so there was no way to determine if "William the son of John Thomas" would grow up to be "William John," "William Jones," "William Thomas," or by another name. Welsh naming customs created a need to standardize the extraction of names for the International Genealogical Index. Before 1813, all births or christenings were extracted as a patronymic name, even though the family may have had an established surname. Some entries in the early registers include a string of names, such as "Rachel daughter of Thomas John Charles of Glasgoed." These multiple names carry their owner’s genealogy, but create problems when trying to index them. The International Genealogical Index treats the first two names as the most important and discards the rest. In the example, Rachel would be listed as the daughter of Thomas John. In an effort to help with these problems, the Wales International Genealogical Index has two indexes: the "given name index" and the "surname index." Most entries are indexed twice, once under a person’s surname and once under his or her given name. When doing a given name search, take into account that the Welsh and English equivalents for a given name were sometimes indexed together (Dafydd and David) and sometimes indexed separately (Griffith, Guto, and Griffin). In order to compensate for the problems, follow these suggestions: When searching for a specific baptism or birth after 1812, use the surname index. If you know that your ancestor used patronymics or came from an area where patronymics were still being used after 1812, you may need to search the given name index. In the computer version, a parent search can be done only when the father’s surname is in all capital letters. The records extracted as patronymics prior to 1813 do not consider the father’s second name as a proper surname; therefore, the parent search will not work on most pre-1813 entries. When searching for a specific baptism or birth before 1813, search the given name index, not the surname index. The index will list all children by the same name, such as William, listing them in order from the earliest date of baptism or birth to the most recent. You may use the surname index if you know your family was using patronymics and you know the father’s given name. Search for a marriage under the surname of the bride or groom. Search for all marriages after 1812 with a specific surname, as in a one-name study. In summary, use the surname index (or surname search) for births and baptisms after 1813 and for marriage at all times, but use the given name index (given name search) for births and baptisms before 1813. Use the parent search on the computer version only when the father’s surname is in all capital letters. Always check the entries you find with the original record from which they were extracted.

| 23 | Pharoah Cobbs was born sometime between 1635 and 1640 in Warrosquyoake County, Virginia. On March 7, 1656 Pharoah sold his land in Isle of Wight County and, with his mother, moved to Nansemond County, Virginia. He died in Nansemond County in 1701. (Source: http://64.235.34.221/rosehill/gencobb.htm) Notes on Pharoah Cobbs: ca Apr 1685 Richard Reynolds Jr. and wife Elizabeth and brother-in-law George Williams, orphan of George Williams, receive the estate of William Williams, decd. Pharaoh Cobb to produce the will. [Isle of Wight Will & Deed Book 2, p243, according to http://members.aol.com/vafdking/iowadd.htm] Note: I did not check this item, but the referenced website lists it among the missing items from Chapman’s abstracts. The page number (if accurate) should put the recording date about April or May 1685. “Estate” meant personal property, most likely livestock and household goods in this case. We know most of this information from later records, the main significance of this one being that it tells us Richard Reynolds the younger was married to Elizabeth Williams by 1685, thus explaining the following record for February 1686. George Williams, a tailor, had left a will in 1672 naming minor children William, George, and Elizabeth, with Pharoah Cobb, Arthur Smith and Henry Applewhaite overseers. [Isle of Wight Will & Deed Book 2, p114]. The will assigned all three children to guardians (implying that all three children were under the age of 14 when the will was written on 12 February 1671/2), with Elizabeth Williams assigned to William Bressie. The estate was divided among the same three children on 9 Jan 1673/4 by Richard Sharpe and Thomas Harris. [Ibid., p119] William Williams, the son, later died and his share of the personal estate was distributed to his brother and sister. 7 Feb 1693/4 Deed: Richard and Elizabeth Hutchins to Richard Reynolds Jr. “Whereas Pharaoh Cobbs and Ann his wife by their deed, dated 10 April 1671, confirmed to George Williams a tract of land… which land was sold by Pharaoh Cobbs and Elizabeth, his mother, to Saml. Haswell and is now in the possession of Richard Reynolds Jr., and Eliz. his wife the dau. of the said George Williams and lawful inheritrix. Now, we Richard Hutchins and Eliz. his wife, the dau. of Joseph Cobbs, Jr., decd. the eldest son of Joseph Cobbs, Sr., decd. for 1000 lbs. tbco. sell to Richard Reynolds, Jr., and confirmed by Richard Hutchins and wife Eliz. of Western Branch Nansemond.” [Isle of Wight Deed Book 1, no page given, abstracted by Boddie p613] Hopkins’ abstract gives the land as 100 acres [Isle of Wight Deed Book 1, p90 abstracted by Hopkins] Note: This is Richard Reynolds the younger, married to Elizabeth Williams, daughter of George Williams Sr. These prior deeds are among the missing records of the county. Richard and Elizabeth Hutchins had also sold 130 acres to Arthur Smith adjoining Smith and Pharaoh Cobb. 9 Dec 1699 Richard Reynolds, William Mayo, and Henry Woodly witness to deed of Edward Cobb to Andrew Woodly. [Isle of Wight Deed Book 1, p296 abstracted by Hopkins] Note: There are several gaps in the records of both Isle of Wight and Surry. Nearly forty years of early Isle of Wight deeds are missing (1649-1688), and some wills and estate records from the late 1650s and early 1660s appear to be missing as well. Essentially all the court records are also lost. Early Surry County wills are also lost, apparently having been filed in James City County. The Surry court records are missing from 1719 through late 1741. Other gaps in the records are noted in the Chronologies if they appear to be significant.

| 24 | William Polk II had no Revolutionary War service as a soldier, being over age 50 when the war began. Some DAR applications have named William II as having served n a supporting role in the Revolutionary War. He married before 1750. No records have been found naming William Polk's wives. There was a 90-100 year old female in the household of Nancy Shelby in 1830, in Anson Co., NC. It is possible that she was the widow of William. The last record found for William was in Cabarrus Co., NC in 1802. The Mecklenburg Signers... 'A William Polk may have married a Miss Spratt, sister of Susan Spratt, wife of Thomas Polk, William's brother.... Before 1745, when William was 17, he first married Miss Spratt. About 1750, when William was 22, he married second, Catherine Sterns, in North Carolina.' | Polk, William II (I4937)

| 25 | James Tarpley apparently was a diligent farmer and kept to his business of farming and raising his family. From the birth places of the children he stayed in North Farnham Parish, Richmond Co, Virginia for most of his life. He was not involved in public life and seldom entered into any court proceedings. Many documents of this region have been lost and we may never be able to prove conclusively that all questions of lineage and marriage have been answered. I have always suspected a connection to the story of the Burton Church Bell in Williamstown. The James Tarpley of my line are related as cousins. It seems the donated bell, known as the Plantation Bell, to the Bruton Parish church in Williamsburg, Virginia was given by James Tarpley "a prominent merchant of Williamsburg," who "was the son of John Tarpley, of Williamsburng and Elizabeth Ripping, of York county, and grandson of Colonel John Tarpley, of Richmond county, and Anne Glasscock, his wife". [Tyler 336] The record of Bruton Parish Church, by Rev. William Archer Rutherfoord Goodwin, D. D. LL. D. , page 16, states: "The outside of the church also received some attention at this time (1755). The steeple on the brick tower was erected in place of one which was beyond further repair, and arrangements were made to have a belfry in it. This was soon followed by the fit of a bronze bell with this inscription on it: "The gift of James Tarpley to Bruton Parish, 1761," This bell is still in use. It is sometimes spoken of as the "Liberty Bell of Virginia," as it rang out proclaiming the passage of the Declaration of Rights in the House of Burgesses on May 15, 1776." Additionally it may have also rung out the repeal of the Stamp Act in 1766 and the adoption of the first complete act of sovereignty by any of the colonies, May 15, 1776, six weeks ahead of the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia. On October 19, 1781, it celebrated the surrender of Lord Cornwallis and later the peace with Great Britain. The Bell in the tower is engraved: " The Gift of James Tarpley to Bruton Parish, 1761." In 1766 it celebrated the repeal of the Stamp Act. On May the 15th, it celebrated the passing of a resolution by the House of Burgesses to establish a State Constitution and Declaration of Rights, and to instruct the Virginia Delegates in Congress to offer a resolution to declare the united Colonies free and independent states. In 1783 it celebrated the ratification of the Treaty of Peace between the the United States and Great Britain." (Mann pp. 11 - 13 The Farnham Parish records used here to build this family apparently had been recopied from much older sources according to the editor, Judith McGhan. She thinks that it was probably a very dilapidated record of nothing more than loose pages. When it was copied any previous date sequence and catagories were lost such as births, deaths, marriages and perhaps more information. It is presently in the county clerk's office in Warsaw, Virginia. One of the things that is interesting about this record is that it also contains many of the associated families that the Tarpleys marry into from 1673 to 1781. You see here Davenport, Glascock, Peachey, Webb, Griffin, Barber and a few others. Notably absent are the Camp and Oldham families. (McGhan) The documentation of this family is based largely on the work of Judge Zelma Wells Price in her book on her ancestry, Of Whom I Came, From Whence I Came published in 1963. She claimed to have had good family sources for the make-up of this family and its history in terms of the marriages of the Camp women to Tarpley men. This information has been lost to researchers but the birth dates listed are very specific that I believe they came from a bible reference and verified by the Farnham Parish register. This source needs to be found to prevent the on-going arguments that this James Tarpley may have married Mary Oldham. In extracts from North Farnham Parish register in Richmond County we do find a Mary Oldham born to John and Sarah Oldham on June 25, 1712, however, no marriages are listed for any Oldham or Tarpley.

| 27 | The true birthdate of Joseph Alexander is unknown. He died on 9 Mar 1729/30 in New Munster, Cecil Co.,MD. He is thought to have married Abigail McKnitt daughter of James (John) McKnitt and Elizabeth Wallace, in 1686 in Somerset Co., MD. Abigail McKnitt was possibly born about 1667 in Stirling, Scotland. She died before 1726 in Cecil Co., MD. Joseph was doubtless married twice, but the names of his wives are not of record. Tradition give the name of his first wife as Abigall McKnight (McKnite, McKnitt, Mcknitt), sister of John McKnight of Somerset and Cecil Co. His second wife may have been a Widow Alexander; in fact she may have been the wife of Andrew Alexander of Somerset who probably died comparatively young. Possibly she was a sister of Abigall McKnight. Joseph Alexander, Tanner and Abigail McKnitt had the following children: 1. Capt. James Robert Alexander, Tanner & Signer. 2. Sophia Alexander 3. Jane Mackey (Muley) Alexander 4. Abigail Clapham (Closson) Alexander 5.

So, they migrated from Ireland to the eastern shore of MD. They brought their minister from Scotland to bless the voyage and administer communion. When all was ready and the families were on board the ship, a company of English soldiers boarded, broke up the meeting and arrested their minister taking him to jail. According to Foote, all were distressed over the plight of the minister, and no one knew just what to do. Finally, an aged woman who had been covenanting all day for her grandchildren, made the suggestion that they wait until nightfall, raid the jail, liberate the minister, and take him to America with them. Following her plan, just before dawn, all were aboard including the minister and the ship was set out to sea. He, with the rest, were on their way to America. When the group reached America they joined a settlement of Scots already in Somerset Co., MD. They later migrated on to Cecil Co., MD settling at the head of the Chesapeake Bay on the tributary of the Elk River just across from New Castle settlement in Delaware. This property at the head of Chesapeake Bay had been in dispute for many years as it had been claimed by MD and by PA. Ultimately, the certificate for the settlement of the 'New Munster' tract in the New Ireland Colony was issued by George Talbot in 1863 in these words: "Surveyed for Edwin O’Dwire and fifteen other Irishmen by virtue of warrant from his Lordship, August 7, 1683 … a certain tract of land called 'New Munster' lying and being in the County of Cecil … on the main fresh of the Big Elk … containing 6,000 acres more or less …. " (embellished hereon by MCM - 2003) George Talbot was a cousin of Cecil Calvert who was the Third Lord of Baltimore. This land had been a part of an ideal dream project for the founding of Talbot's New Ireland County. He had come from Co. Roscomon, Ireland and joined the MD colony in 1680. Previous to his arrival, in 1632, Charles I of England granted the MD colony to his cousin, Lord Baltimore (Cecil Calvert). Unfortunately later, in 1681, Charles II, who was indebted to William Penn's father, Admiral William Penn, paid his debt to the Admiral (who was since deceased) by awarding his son, William Jr., what he thought was worthless land. In 1683, Charles II also gave to William Penn land on the 'Delmarva Peninsula', which today includes the eastern portion of modern MD and all of Delaware. The original 'worthless land', given by Charles II to William Penn, has now become PA. This issue did not find resolution until Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon were hired to come to America in November of 1763 to measure and define the boundaries between PA and MD. Fifty years later the boundary was legalized. During the American Civil War, this boundary morphed itself in the dividing line between two 'countries', the North and the South. Now, the Southern States are referred to as 'Land of Dixie', because of the contribution made by Jeremiah Dixon. The Cecil County, Maryland, records (Deed Book 2, J.D., 2 pg 28, 81, 82, 83) From Thomas Stevenson and his wife, Sarah, of part of this tract called 'New Munster' to a group of Alexander's who were led into the colony by Matthew Wallace. The deed says that the land had originally been granted to Edwin O’Dwire and others. Those purchasing from Stevenson were: Matthew Wallace James Alexander, farmer Arthus Alexander, weaver David Alexander, weaver Joseph Alexander, tanner, and his son, James James Alexander, weaver, and his son Moses This deed speaks of Matthew Wallace and 'his company,' indicating that Matthew Wallace, whom the records show have been living in Somerset Co., MD, on the eastern shore, led this company into Cecil Co. to settle on the New Munster tract. The first deed was a ?ase (lease) deed dated 1714, and set forth that the settlers had been on this land for some years, as the improvements which they had made were taken into consideration of the price. It seems that the migration occurred much earlier because Matthew Wallace gave Power of Attorney to, William Alexander back in Somerset in 1707 to sell his land there. The Alexander's who came with him were most probably some of the seven brothers, or their sons, mentioned by Foote. Ross McKendrick states: "To Mecklenburg County, N.C., a great wave of Scotch-Irish migration flowed directly from New Munster in Cecil County, Maryland, through the Shenandoah Valley. Numerous descendants of George Talbot’s tract had brought their families and taken up lands (in North Carolina) prior to 1732. Wills of certain Alexander's of New Munster, indicate that this family was strongly represented in the North Carolina settlement. The importance of Maryland’s part in the settlement of N. C. may be drawn from the story of the famous Mecklenburg Convention of May 31, 1775 ----of the seven signers, more than half may be directly traced to Cecil County, Maryland, and adjacent settlements. This action (The Mecklenburg Resolves) anticipated more than a year before the actual Declaration of Independence by Congress, and reflected the spirit which emigrated from George Talbot’s County of New Ireland. The Maryland immigrants to North Carolina only made great asserveration of purpose, but were to be found in the thick of the flight at King’s Mountain ….

| 30 | "It must be said, however, that given the lapse of time between Merfyn's life and the composition of the pedigree in HG (Harleian Genealogies), that the connexion via Essyllt ferch Cynan, must at best be regarded as tradition and may be simple fiction. . . supposed blood-links to the ancient ruling lines of other kingdoms supplied later members of the line of Merfyn with a superficial layer of legitimacy in their attempts to dominate and intrude into neighbouring kingdoms." Merfyn's descent on his father's side is traced (Jesus College MS 20) back, via the legendary late 6th/early 7th century bard Llywarch Hen, who is associated with Powys (and who, incidentally, was at one time thought to be the author of the 'Canu Heledd'), along a branch of the line associated with the erstwhile kingdom of Rheged (north-west England), to Coel Hen. Further, tradition has it that Merfyn came "from the land of manaw". That could refer to either Manau Gododdin or The Isle of Man. Merfyn's father was Gwriad. An inscribed stone on the Isle of Man, which could date from the 9th century, reads "crux guriat" (cross of Guriat). Guriat is usually identified with Gwriad. At any rate, when Merfyn died (844), he was succeeded by his son Rhodri. According to the genealogies in Jesus College MS 20, Rhodri's mother was Nest of Powys, sister of Cyngen, king of Powys. Cyngen is the Concenn who erected Eliseg's Pillar, in memory of his great-grandfather, Eliseg (Elisedd). Elisedd would probably have been a contemporary of the powerful Mercian king, Offa (757-796). The pillar commemorates Elisedd's reclamation of Powysian territory from the English, and the 'Annales Cambriae' record several campaigns against the Welsh by Offa. At some point, Offa seems to have decided that there should be no doubt where the border between the English and the Welsh lay, and the massive earthwork, known as Offa's Dyke was constructed. Whether Offa's Dyke was more symbolic than truly defensive is the subject of debate. Even if it prevented Welsh incursions into England, it certainly it didn't prevent English incursions into Wales. 'Annales Cambriae' (822): "The fortress of Degannwy (Gwynedd) is destroyed by the Saxons and they took the kingdom of Powys into their own control." Cyngen died in 854, possibly having been forced into exile by Rhodri. Powys was subsequently annexed by Gwynedd. How this takeover was achieved is not recorded, but Powys was ruled as a subsidiary of Gwynedd until the late 11th century. In 853, the 'Annales Cambriae' had noted: "Mon (Anglesey) laid waste by black gentiles." The phrase "black gentiles" (and variations thereof, e.g. dark heathens, dark foreigners) means Danish, rather than Norwegian (fair heathens, fair-haired foreigners), Vikings. The first recorded Viking attack on Wales actually appears in the 'Annales' three years previously (i.e. in 850). They were responsible for the killing of one Cyngen, whose provenance is unknown. In 856, however, as recorded by the 'Annals of Ulster', Rhodri won a famous victory against them: "Horm (Gorm), chief of the dark foreigners, was killed by Rhodri son of Merfyn, king of Wales." The 'Annals of Ulster' also provide a reminder that the Vikings weren't the only external threat that Rhodri had to contend with (865): "The Britons were driven from their land by the Saxons (presumably Mercians) and were placed in bondage in Móin Chonáin (Anglesey)." Nevertheless, Rhodri's empire building activities continued. Jesus College MS 20 shows him married to Angharad, sister of Gwgon of Ceredigion. Gwgon drowned ('Annales Cambriae' - the circumstances are unrecorded), in 872, and control of Ceredigion was subsequently acquired by Gwynedd. Ceredigion is still the term used in 9th century annals, but later tradition has it that (in the late 7th century) Seisyll, the king of Ceredigion, added the territory of Ystrad Tywi (literally 'Vale of Towy' - to the south of Ceredigion), and that the enlarged kingdom was thenceforth called Seisyllwg in his honour. In 877, however, the 'Annals of Ulster' note that: "Rhodri son of Merfyn, king of the Britons, came in flight from the dark foreigners to Ireland." And a year later (878): "Rhodri son of Merfyn, king of the Britons, was killed by the Saxons." | Of Gwynedd (Wales), Essylt ferch Cynan (I6098)

Source: Shanna Palmer, the wife of Mark Alexander Palmer xandria50@hotmail.com The Alexanders of Munster and Mecklenburg- In the year 1714 James Stephenson, gent., of Bucks, Co., Pa. appointed John McKnitt of Back Creek, Cecil Co., MD., his attorney to sell a tract of land in the N.E. Corner of Cecil Co., called “New Munster". This tract of 8000 acres commenced where the Sure Creek enters the Big Elk, and with a breadth of two miles ran North six miles up the Elk river until it entered some distance with the present Pennsylvania line, in Chester County. Edward Odine had first patented these lands from King Charles and Odine sold them to David Taos; D. Taos willed them to his son John, and he, having run into debt to Robert Roberts, the colonial Legislature granted 4500 acres to Roberts to satisfy his claim against Taos, who had absconded. Finally Roberts in 1714, sold these 4500 acres to Stephenson, and he in the same year, through John McKnitt sold about 2000 acres to a company consisting of James Alexander, farmer; Arthur Alexander, farmer; David and James Alexander, weavers; Joseph Alexander, tanner and his son James; Elias and Arthur Alexander and William Wallace. The reason assigned by Stephenson for selling to this person was that they had already settled and improved thereon * their settlement must therefore have been sometime prior to 1714. Four years after the purchase Stephenson gave them individually deeds, to each one for that part on which he had settled and improved. These lands lay on the East side of the Elk and between that river and Christiania and Delaware. The relative posititions of their settlements were these: James the farmer was located south towards the Elk; Arthur was east of James towards the Christiana; David was north of both James and Arthur; James, the weaver and his son Moses were north of David: Elias east of James and Moses. Near these John Alexander bought land in 1718. Afterwards others of the same name came and settled along the boarders of Pennsylvania and Maryland, from Munster to Nottingham. | McKnitt, John II (I1339)

Nathaniel subsequently lived in GA, Marion Co.,AL, and possibly even Sabine Co., TX. Nathaniel (II) of Lunenburg Co. stayed there and was the son of Thomas Crenshaw. He was executor of his father's will in 1786 in Lunenburg and then himself died in Lunenburg Co. in 1793. Nathaniel Crenshaw born in Lunenburg Co., VA, had a son named Joseph, born Mar. 30, 1784, who married Susan West Barnhill in Greenville,S.C. Joseph was in Perry Co.,AL in 1824, mentioned in his grandfather John Barnhill's will. He established a large plantation at Hamburg near Marion Co., AL.

| 42 | (The following came from: freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jwmurphy/shaw1b.tx) The exact year is not certain to determine the date of the baptism of young Thomas, but the decade of the 1690's is accurate. Probably it is 1692 as another entry that page is so dated. Record of the baptism: "Thomas, son to Thomas Cranshaw, baptized the 25th December 169[]." The above entry in St. Peter's Parish Register, which shows the baptism of "Thomas, son toThomas Cranshaw" on Christmas Day 169- is the earliest indication of the presence of Thomas Cranshaw in the area. Because the entry is in the Register of St Peters, (although the year is not certain) it is assumed that Cranshaw was not then resident in Pamunkey Neck, but dwelt south of the Pamunkey River on land inherited from his father. Those north of the Pamunkey River were in St John's parish after the Act of Assembly in 1691. Colonial baptisms usually took place within a month or two of birth, and rarely were postponed more than six months. There are several factors which suggest the youthfulness of Thomas of Pamunkey Neck. The date that two of his children were baptized indicated he married in late 1680s or early 1690s and produced his family of at least four children (probably five) by the start of the new century. There is also evidence that the accumulation of some of his property was also during this decade. He built up his business at the time he was probably moving from his late twenties into his thirties. The Quit Rent Rolls of 1704 found him about age thirty five, or perhaps a year or two older than that. In considerations bearing on his age, it is likely that the 1699 paper in London, shows Thomas was in a generation much younger than that of the eight men who were beneficiaries of the Indians after the treaty of 1677. In other words Thomas Crenshaw was in the generation of the sons of the original purchasers of Pamunkey Neck property. His father would have been about the same age as John Langston and perhaps younger by a decade than Cornelius Dabney. That Cornelius Dabney was a generation older than Thomas is evident. Those who initially negotiated the land purchase with the Indians were probably in their prime, but by 1699 several had died. For example the London document lists Thomas Bell, Cornelius Dabney, John Sexton, Peter Adams, Ambrose Lipscombe and Richard Yarborow as deceased, and their property passing to heirs or to men such as Cranshaw and McAllister who had purchased it. McAllister had obtained some of Yarborow's land. The most convincing evidence of Thomas' age is the military record of his son Joseph, who may have been the youngest of all his children. The marriage alliance of John Crenshaw with a granddaughter of Cornelius Dabney moves the generations far away from the possibility that Thomas was a freeholder in 1667. King William County created from Pamunkey Neck of King & Queen County, April 11, 1702 Namesake: William III; King of England, Scotland and Ireland from April 11, 1689 to March 19, 1702 Important Dates Early 1600s The county was under the domain of the Tsenacommaco or the Powhatan Confederacy. The confederacy, which encompassed 6,000 square miles of eastern Virginia, bound together approximately thirty Algonquian tribes of 13,000 people in 200 villages. It included the Mattaponi and Pamunkey tribes; the Upper Mattaponi tribe is a non-reservated descendent of the Mattaponi and Pamunkey. The paramount chief of the Powhatan Confederacy, Wahunsonacock or Powhatan as the English called him, died in April 1618. He had ceded power to Opitchapan or Itopan about a year earlier in 1617. Opechancanough, Powhatan's younger brother, succeeded Opitchapan in 1619. (The marriage of Powhatan's daughter, Pocahontas, to John Rolfe in 1614 ensured peace with the English colonists.) 1608 Captain John Smith, who was a member and later president of the Jamestown settlement's governing council, explored the site of the present-day Town of West Point. This area was the location of the Indian town of Cinquoteck, or Paumunkee Town as Smith referred to it. 1634 Charles River County was created. It was one of the eight original shires, similar to those in England. The new county, which was named after the reigning English King Charles I, encompassed the lands lying to the north and west of the York River. The new county presumably included Pamunkey Neck, which is the land laying between the Mattaponi and Pamunkey Rivers. The names of the county and river were changed to York in 1643 to honor James, the second son of Charles I, who that year was made Duke of York. In 1664 the Dutch colony of New Amsterdam, which was captured by the English during the Dutch War of 1664-1667, was renamed New York after James, the Duke of York. He became James II, King of England, Scotland and Ireland in 1685 and abdicated the throne to William III and Mary II during the Glorious Revolution of 1688-1689. 1646 Under Governor Sir William Berkeley the English imposed a peace treaty on the new chief of the Powhatan, Necotowance. The treaty restricted habitation and hunting by the Indians to north side of York River, presumably including Pamunkey Neck, ceded to the English all peninsular lands between the James and York Rivers as far inland as the falls at present-day Richmond, and made the tribes dominions of the crown. The treaty followed the defeat of the Powhatan Indians during their last great uprising that began on April 18, 1644 and the slaying of their captured leader, Opechancanough, in October 1644. 1653 Colonel William Claiborne was granted a patent of 5,000 acres, including Romancoke. March 6 - Governor John West patented 3,000 acres of land at the confluence of the Mattaponi and Pamunkey Rivers. West named his tract West Point in honor of his family. 1654 New Kent County was created from York County. The new county, which was probably named after the English shire of Kent, encompassed lands lying to the heads of the Mattaponi and Pamunkey Rivers including Pamunkey Neck. 1658 The Virginia General Assembly enacted the legislation creating the Mattaponi and Pamunkey Indian Reservations. 1677 May 29 - A peace treaty between the remnants of six Indian tribes and English King Charles II, acting through Governor Herbert Jeffreys and the Council of State, required the tribes to avow allegiance to the queen of the Pamunkey and the English crown. The treaty effectively reaffirmed the existence of the Mattaponi and Pamunkey Indian lands, later called reservations, and stipulated payment each March of an annual quitrent to the governor. The Mattaponi and Pamunkey Indian reservations are the only reservations in Virginia and two of the oldest reservations in the United States. 1691 King & Queen County was created from New Kent County. The new county, which was named after the ruling English monarchs, King William III and Queen Mary II, encompassed lands lying north of the Pamunkey and York Rivers including Pamunkey Neck. The legislative enabling act that created the new county contained the first official reference to English town lands at West Point in Pamunkey Neck. 1692 The House of Burgesses, the lower house of the General Assembly, rejected a petition from inhabitants of King & Queen County requesting legalization of titles and possession of lands that they acquired from the Indians in the Pamunkey Neck section of the county. 1693 King William III and Queen Mary II granted the College of William & Mary its royal charter, which included an endowment of 10,000 acres in the upper part of Pamunkey Neck. The land was sold to lessees by 1830. 1695 May 4 - William Leigh and Joshua Story, burgesses for King & Queen County, introduced the first legislative petition to divide King & Queen County and to create a new county. The bill was passed by the House of Burgesses but was defeated by the Council, which was the upper chamber of the legislature. 1699 June 21 - The Council-appointed a commission to meet at King & Queen County Court House in September and to examine the validity of private land claims in the Pamunkey Neck section of the county. 1701 August - The General Assembly passed the act that established a regional port town called Delaware (or Del la War), the predecessor of the Town of West Point. The new town was situated on land conveyed by John West III and three siblings to King & Queen County for establishment of a regional port. September 4 - The Council-appointed commission submitted its report to the General Assembly. The legislature adopted the report's recommendations, approving patents for 50 settlers and denying patents for 16 other settlers. September 5 - The bill to establish a distinct county from King & Queen County was introduced in the legislature by Robert Beverley, a burgess from Jamestown who held the clerkship for King & Queen County. October 2 - The General Assembly passed and Governor Frances Nicholson assented to the enabling act creating a distinct county from the Pamunkey Neck section of King & Queen County. The new county was named for the reigning English monarch, King William III. Queen Mary II had died in 1694. 1702 March - Governor Nicholson commissioned thirteen justices of the peace who collectively served as the local governing body, the county court, for the new County of King William. April 11 - The legislative act, which established King William County, became effective on the thirteenth anniversary of William and Mary's coronation. King William County became the 24th county in existence at that time in Virginia. King William County's royal namesake died on March 19th, only twenty-three days prior to the establishment of the county. June 20 - The King William County conducted its first election. John and Nathaniel West, brothers, were elected to represent the county in the lower house in the state legislature. 1704 The General Assembly enacted a general law establishing 15 towns, which reestablished Delaware Town. 1707 June - The first lots in Delaware Town were sold. 1721 Spotsylvania County was formed from King William, King & Queen and Essex Counties. The new county was named after Alexander Spotswood, the Lieutenant Governor of Virginia from 1710-1722 under the nominal governorship of George Hamilton, 1st earl of Orkney. In 1716 Spotswood led an expedition of the Knights of the Golden Horseshoe from Chelsea plantation in King William County to the Shenandoah Valley in order to advance its settlement. 1728 Caroline County was formed from King William, King & Queen and Essex Counties. The new county was named after Caroline of Anspach, the queen consort of the reigning English King George II. 1870 July 11 - The state legislative act, which established the present-day incorporated Town of West Point, became effective. September 11 - The Town of West Point conducted its first council election. 1926 Port Richmond incorporated as a town pursuant to an act of the General Assembly. 1928 Port Richmond unincorporated as a town following the repeal of its municipal charter by the General Assembly. 1964 January 1 - The Town of West Point annexed the adjacent unincorporated Port Richmond area of the county. The annexation followed voter approval in an advisory referendum held on May 7, 1963.

C. Census abstracted by Iva Coffman; Tax Lists and Land Grants in N. C. abstracted from microfilm by Iva Coffman; Barnabas C. Powers family bible in possession of Mable Hicks; 1800 Census, IBC. Barnaba and Elizabeth Powers lived in or near Rockingham Township, Richmond Co., NC, with his mother, two brothers and five sisters. Barnaba and Elizabeth had three sons and according to early census records, three daughters. They are unknown to us. The sons were James S., Barnabas C. and Arthur. (Iva Coffman notes later that William Brooks Powers and Mary Newbary Powers were also children of Barnaba Powers, and gives their birthdates). When the first census of the United States was taken in 1790, the boundary between North and South Carolina had often changed. It was not fully surveyed until 1815. Barnaba was not listed in NC on this census but in the Cheraw Dist of SC, just across the state line from Richmond Co. He was the head of the family at 18. When the tax lists of 1795, 1806 and 1812 were made up, Barnaba was found to be in NC. I would guess he lived near the state line. Just how his father and mother arrived in this area is yet to be discovered. Thousands of acres were taken up in this area after the Revolutionary War by Scots. In 1794, one absentee Scotsman through his agent, bought 320 sections of land on the state line in Richmond County. This is over 200,000 acres and Barnaba , with his 100 acres was probably surrounded, maybe even his ownership disputed. (There are disputed claims on record.) This could be the reason the Powers brothers with their families, migrated to TN. We can only guess why they moved after living so long in NC. Even though his brothers and nephews left for Montgomery Co. in 1815, it appears he remained until after the death of their mother. He followed with his family in 1825.

It was named in honor of William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland, third son of King George II. Cumberland was the commander of the English Army at the Battle of Culloden, in which the Scotch Highlanders were defeated in 1746. Many of them came to America, and their principal settlement was in Cumberland County. Cumberland was changed to Fayette County in early 1784, but the act was repealed at the next General Assembly, which met in November, 1784. It is in the southeastern section of the State and is bounded by Sampson, Bladen, Robeson, Hoke, Harnett and Johnston counties. The present land area is 652.72 square miles and its 2000 population was 302,963. The county seat was first called Cumberland Court House. In 1762 Campbellton was established at Cross Creek with provisions for the public buildings. In 1778 Cross Creek and Campbellton were joined and the courthouse was ordered to be erected in that part of the town known as Cross Creek. In 1783 Campbellton was changed to Fayetteville in honor of Lafayette. Fayetteville is the county seat. Richmond was formed in 1779 from Anson. It was named in honor of Charles Lennox, Duke of Richmond and a principal secretary in William Pitt's second administration. He was a staunch friend of the American colonies and made a motion in the House of Lords that the colonies be granted their independence. It is in the south central section of the State and is bounded by the State of South Carolina and Anson, Stanly, Montgomery, Moore and Scotland counties. It present land area is 473.98 square miles and the 2000 population was 46,564. The county seat was first called Richmond Court House but in 1784 a town was established there by the name of Rockingham. Rockingham is the county seat. Robeson was formed in 1787 from Bladen. It was named in honor of Colonel Thomas Robeson, a soldier of the Revolution. He was one of the leaders at the battle of Elizabethtown which was fought in September 1781. It is in the southeastern section of the State and is bounded by the state of South Carolina and Scotland, Hoke, Cumberland, Bladen and Columbus counties. The present land area is 948.84 square miles and the 2000 population was 123,245. The courthouse was erected on land which formerly belonged to John Willis. A lottery was used to dispose of the lots and to establish the town. In 1788, Lumberton was established and is the county seat. | Powers, Barnaba (I2295)

This would have been after the Mexican American War. (From Hal Prestridge-2005) The time frame about 1810 to 1820 does seem like the time the families split apart. The last dated record I can find for Larkin Prestirdge and Alcy Campbell is the one you listed in Feb 1810. Here is how they moved westward: In the 1810 census Larkin appears in Amite County, MS (State and Territorial Census). 1815 Larkin appears in the Tax Records of Lawrence County MS 1816 Larkin and family appear in Census of Monroe County MS territory 1819 Larkin has land in Old Cahaba 1820 Larkin and family appear in the Dallas County, AL census 1822 Larkin buys land in Pickens County, AL 1823 Larkin buys more land in Pickens County, AL 1830 Larkin and family appear in the Census of Pickens County 1833 Larkin appears on Tax records Winston Co., MS 1835 Larkin appears on Tax records Winston Co., MS 1837 Larkin sells land to brother Josiah in Winston Co., MS 1838 Larkin appears in Choctaw Co.

Peebles in Choctaw County 1848 Larkins probate case indicates this is the time he moved to Texas 1850 Larkin appears in Cherokee Co. TX. 1858 - Aug 10 - Larkin dies and his will is contested. Will finally settled in 1863 Larkin's Will: Larkin in his will of 1851 discussed Polly,"...with the exception of one negro woman named Polly and all of the house hold furnigutre which I will to my beloved Wife Alcy during her life and at her death the negro woman Pollyl and her increases if any, together with the household furniture I will shall be sold and the procedes of the same be equally divided between my several heirs...." Since Alcy had predeceased Larkin, Polly and her increase were sold at auction. In records filed January 1859, on the Sale of Contents of Larkin estate, Obediah purchased Polly for $500.00, Tabitha for $600.00 and Polly from $300.00. For some reason (perhaps the contesting of the will), Larkin's slaves must have had to be reauctioned. Again,Obediah purchased Polly and her two children Tabitha and Polly. "In the sale of negro slaves of Larkin Prestridge, decd., on 1 March 1859 at the courthouse door in Rusk, Cherokee Co. Texas, the highest biddres were: The old negro man Lewis was bid off by T. R. Chester at $400.00 The old woman Lucy was bid off by T. R. Chester $221.00 Polly a woman & her two small children Tabithat & Polly were bid off by Obadiah Prestridge at the sum of $2,451.00 Total amount of sales $3,112.00 | Prestridge, Larkin (I975)

Alexander for 5 years for $25.00 and there is also a record that in March 1818, Hezekiah Jr. paid Samuel Glen for schooling for Julius. It seems that Hezekiah, Jr. looked after his sister and later in 1826 took Julius as an apprentice to the joiner's and cabinetmaker's trades. Undoubtely to serve under him.
