(Winfield was married, John Rufus and Smith are elsewhere at this time)



My theory is that Allison was not the uncle, but the father of Mary
Ann Knox. Allison had a brother named Patrick who was married to a
Mary Smith, 1766 in Mecklenburg Co., NC. They had five children:
Matthew, Ruth, Hannah, John and Jane (or Jean). When Patrick was
killed 20 Jun 1780 at the Battle of Ramsur's Mill, Lincoln Co., NC,
during the Revolution, Allison married Mary Smith Knox, 1781 in
Mecklenburg Co., NC, and adopted Patrick's children. I believe
Allison and Mary had a daughter whom they named Mary Ann. Their
daughter would have been born at the correct time for Mary Ann's
birthdate. I think the John Knox, who was appointed guardian of Moses
& Mary Ann's children following Moses' death in 1826, Charlotte,
Mecklenburg Co., NC, was Mary Ann Knox Shelby's half brother and son
of Patrick and Mary Smith Knox. I also believe Mary Ann Knox and
Moses Shelby gave one of their children the first name of "Smith "
because that was Mary Ann's mother's maiden name. (MCMordecai-2004)

Notes Mary Knox: According to Bobbie Rich Kaiser, Mary Knox was the
daughter of Samuel Knox of Rowan Co., NC and GA. Samuel was a
Revolutionary War Soldier. Also had a Will.

COURT MINUTES - GUARDIAN BOND ABSTRACT:
Mecklenburg County NC Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions
1826 February Session, page 124
[Tuesday, Feb 28, 1826] Ordered that John Knox be Guardian for John R., Winfield, Smith, Eleanor, Thomas, Samuel & Joseph Shelby, children of Moses Shelby who appeared in Court and was bound with James Doherty, Security, in the Sum of £250.

[Mecklenburg County NC- Minutes of the Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions - Volune III: 1821-1830; transcribed by Herman W. Ferguson, page 94]

Notes re Guardianship Bond:
1) This bond does not state that Moses Shelby is deceased...is that significant?
2) On 22 Feb 1826, five days before prior to the 27 Feb 1826 Guardian Bond for seven of his nine children, a Moses A. Shelby sold land in Mecklenburg County, NC. Was that sale in anticipation of a move to Alabama?
3) Moses Shelby m. Mary Ann Knox, dau of Allison and Mary ((Smith) Knox) Knox. Mary Ann Knox was the half-sister of John Knox, son of Capt Patrick and Mary (Smith) Knox.
(MCM Note - 2003: Moses A. Shelby was NOT the same Moses as the one who married Mary Ann Knox)

4) I've read postings indicating there are estate papers for a Jane Knox whose son-in-law, Moses Shelby, was admin; however, I have not found anything at the NC Archives to support this.

5) I find no NC wills, no NC estate papers, and no NC Court Minutes for Alison/Allison Knox, Mary Knox, or their son-in-law Moses Shelby. Are we sure they died in NC? Is it possible they "removed" to Alabama with Mary Ann...???

Ernest Perry Bell writes, "Although I do not have absolute and positive proof that our great-great-grandmother, Mary Ann Knox, was the daughter of a brother of James Knox, and therefore a first cousin of Jean Knox, the mother of James Knox Polk, thirteenth president of the United States, the evidence is overwhelming that she was." (Not So! - MMMordecai. 2003)

Mary Shelby is listed as a "communicant" Aug 11, 1835 in the 1835 Record Book of Bethel Presbyterian Church. Is this Mary Ann Knox Shelby, for sure? Don't know but I will bet it is.

County Kilkenny seems to be where the Knox's have been in Ireland for
quite a while. There is a parish in Kilkenny called the "Big Wood".
The name, Knox, is actually derived from a Gaelic word that still
exists in modern Irish: "cnoc" (pronounced 'ka-nok'). The full Gaelic
form is d'cnoc. Which means "From the Hill". The name seems to be
older than many of the more popular Gaelic names and might originate
from the Pics who lived in what is now the Scottish highlands. During
the height of the Celtic tribes, Scotland was divided with Picland on
the North and Scotia on the south.

There is a Irish legend that the Knox's fought with the Fitzpatrick
Clan during the Scot-British war and were supporting Robert the Bruce.
This would suggest that there might have been an involvement with
William Wallace since it was Wallace who inspired Robert. It was
because of this legendary involvement that they named their children
"Robin," not a typical Irish name, in honor of Robert the Bruce. When
Robert's efforts failed, some of the tribe became refugees in Ireland.
Apparently a large portion of the tribe settled in southern County
Killkenny around "The Big Wood" just north of Waterford. They lived
at the Townland of Melville. Big Wood is an unofficial townland; it
does not appear on a map. Big Wood sits on the south side of Tory
Hill, which is a very famous landmark. The name Knox from the Gaelic
d'cnoc, which means "From the Hill" certainly could mean Tory Hill,
which is a huge hill that towers over the generally flat terrain of
southern Co. Kilkenny.

Name: Thaddeus Beall
Death Date: Mar 1808
County: Warren
State: GA
Country: USA

Notes from Walter Beal of Winston-Salem, NC:
"Thaddeus lived in what is now Montgomery County Maryland. On July 3,
1776 he was commissioned 2nd Lieut. in the Frederick County Militia. On
August 7th, he was in Captain Burgess' Company, Lower District of
Frederick County. In September he was Brigade Major for General Rezin
Beall (a distant cousin) at Flying Camp, Maryland. Thaddeus was listed on
October 2nd as 2nd Lieut. Montgomery County Militia, and was shown as
1st Lieut. in the 29th Battalion on January 21, 1777. He was Captain,
Lower Battalion, Maryland Line on September 12th.
Thaddeus moved to Guilford County, North Carolina, where on 18 Aug 1784 he purchased 400 acres from Henry C Davis for 100 pounds, which
he sold on 23 Aug 1785 to Thomas Landwith for 100 pounds after
obtaining 800 acres of land grants. These land grants were given at the
rate of 50 shillings per 100 acres. Thaddeus received the following Grants:
8 Nov 1784 Grant #1078 for 500 acres and #962 for 300 acres; 6 May
1787 Grant # 1415 for 300 acres; and 16 May 1787 Grants #1234, 1267,
and 1315 for 300 acres each.
He sold 243 acres of this land on 10 March 1788 and sold the remaining land in five transactions beginning 12 July 1791, and ending 21 November 1791, after which he must have made his move to Georgia. The 1790 Census showed him in Guilford County with a family of 1 man, 4 boys, 6 females, and 12 slaves. Since there are a large number of marriages between Bealls and Dents, it should be noted that much of Thaddeus's land lay next to that of William Dent. There was also a Peter Dent in Guilford County in the late 1700's.. Thaddeus served on a Guilford County jury during the May 29, 1787 court session.
Thaddeus's sons Frederick, Thaddeus, and William settled in Franklin County, Georgia, where Frederick was Clerk of Ordinary (Probate) Judge from 24 July 1799 through 1825. But it appears that Thaddeus settled in Warren County. A three page inventory of his estate dated 5 July 1808, with a total worth of $4,989.42 1/2 was found in the court house in Warrenton. He is also listed on a DAR Plaque at the court house, naming the Rev. soldiers buried in Warren County. The DAR lists his death as 1815, which must be incorrect in view of the inventory of his estate."

Thaddeus Beall:
From the book: Alexander Beall_1649-1744 Pf Maryland One Line of Descent in America by William Hunter McLean
"Thaddeus and Amelia were born in Prince George's County, Maryland, before the formation of Frederick County. Records of deeds executed by Thaddeus indicate that he and Amelia lived as "Planters" in that part of Frederick County which became Montgomery County in 1776. Thus, they resided in the same general area as their parents.
Thaddeus Beall was a member of the Continental Army early in 1776, perhaps before. Published materials report Thaddeus as 'Private in Capt. Edward Burgess' Co.; 1st Lieut., Capt., Major on Gen. Resin Beall's Staff. Flying Camp, Md. troops. His military service is conclusively documented in correspondence of the Maryland Council of Safety as a 2nd Lieutenant in the Company of Captain Edward burgess on Wednesday, July 3, 1776
By November 20, 1779, a Montgomery County deed recites them to be 'of Guilford County, North Carolina.' pg 28
Thaddeus and Amelia Beall with moves to North Carolina and then Georgia generated a spirit that would carry their descendants as pioneers into Alabama, Mississippi, Texas and even to California soon after the Mexican War.
William Dent, the husband of Verlinda Beall, sister of Amelia and a Maryland associate of Thaddeus, accompanied or preceded Thaddeus to North Carolina, William Dent was the deputy Surveyor of Guilford County, North Carolina, is so recorded with Thaddeus as his 'sworn chain carrier,' and was also a neighboring land owner to Thaddeus'. pg 29
The 1790 census of Guilford County demonstrates Thaddeus had become very prosperous. 'Also, surveyors and their scarce instruments were in very great demand, the profession being highly respected and richly rewarded.'
Sometimes around 1794, Thaddeus moved his family accompanied by his adult sons, into unsettled, virgin county then in Greene County, Georgia. His footprints for the next ten years are obscure but after formation of Hancock County from Green County, records of his family are identifiable. Records are also found in Olgelethorpe County and in Warren County, where the family resided at Thaddeus' death." pg 30

Extracts from Beall Family Documents File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by Rita Meistrel. PVMeistrel@aol.com (copyright material)
"The following have helped define the relationships for Thomas of Samuel, Jr. of John and his descendants. Proof that Thomas' (of Col. Samuel) daughter Elizabeth married Aza/Asa Beall. Josiah is brother of Verlinda Beall who married her cousin Thomas. Will of Josiah Beall, Probate Records 1790-1850, wills Book A: Josiah Beall, p. 70 Dec. 11, 1804 -to nephew and neices, the children of Thomas Beall of Samuel and Verlinda, named: John Brooke Beall; Josiah Beall; Isaac Beall; Ann Beatty, the wife of John Conrad Beatty; Eliza Beall, the wife of Aza Beall; Lucy English, the wife of James English; Priscilla Beall; and Eleanor Beall deceased, therefore her children William Beall Beatty, Thomas Beall Beatty, Otho.. Beatty, Lewis Beatty and Sonia Beatty.

B-ALEX-232 Josias Beall, b.1715- "Heterick (I:33) says unable to locate references to children other than Verlinda and Josiah." Proof of other children- Lucy:(she names Thomas of Col Samuel and Verlinda's children as well as her brother Josiah, above) Lucy is the sister of Josiah and Verlinda, children of Josiah (1715-1768):

Will of Lucy Beall, Allegany Co. Probate Records 1790-1850, will Book A:
Lucy Beall, 5/23/1799 to brother Josiah give all the following negroes to wit one negro woman named Catherine with all the following children: Jeremiah, Adam, James, Samuel, Joshua, Sazais and Isaac to him his heairs and assign forever; to Priscilla Beall, daughter of my sister Verlinda Beall, deceased give negro woman Phillis; to Lucy Beall, daughter of my sister Verlinda Beall, deceased give negro woman Peg; to Ann Beall, daughter of my sister Verlinda Beall, deceased give negro woman Aucie; to Ann Juliett Beall, daughter of Asa and Elizabeth Beall, one negro girl Nance; to Lucy, Ann, Elizabeth, and Pricilla daughters of my sister Verlinda Beall, deceased, I give all my apparel; to Lewissa Elinor Beatty, daughter of John Carrol Beatty, one negro girl, V...? to brother Josiah furniture..." Also mentions Elizabeth as a daughter of her sister Verlinda and that Elizabeth married Asa.

Thaddeus: from Samuel Beall, Jr.s's Will in Washington Co, Jan 10,1778:
"I hereby order and direct that my executors . . . do sell at public vendue to the highest bidder after giving three months notice in the Maryland and Pennsylvania Gazettes land called Gift land called Philadelphia . . . land called Berlin land called Christys Folly condemned in the name of Josiah Beall as nominal Sheriff for my use, to be conveyed by Thaddeus Beall, his son and heir . . .
Walter and Richard: identified as a sons in the administrators bond of Thaddeus. Proof that Priscilla, daughter of Thomas of Samuel of Ninian didn't marry Walter Slicer, but in fact Priscilla, daughter of Thomas of Samuel of John did.

Will from Richard Beall son of Asa and Elizabeth, Will in Allegany County:
"to my nephew Richard, son of my brother Thomas Beall, $500 in trust for his education; to daughter Verlinda McKaig Beall (not of age yet); free my negro woman Clarissa when she is 30 years as well as her child Talbot as well as all other children she may have when they are 30; to my aunt Priscilla Slicer, the house; to Reverend Samuel H. McDonald, minister of the Presbyterian Church, lot 99 in Cumberland, to my brother Alpheus Beall and my brother-in-law Samuel Eckles, all the rest of my estate" (Note: Priscilla Slicer is sister to his mother Elizabeth Beall) PS: Still looking for primary sources to prove Henry Tomlinson Beall was the son of Isaac and Rebecca Tomlinson. He is administrator of Isaac's estate, but no relationship is mentioned. (He was born the year after his grandfather, Thomas of Samuel, bequeathed Isaac's children with the bulk of his estate)

1840 receipt signed by J. H. Marable, original in the possession of
Madolyn Vickers; B. C. Powers family bible; copy of the 1841 Marriage
License; 1881 and 1887 newspaper obituaries; U. S. Census 1820 through
1880, abstracted by Iva Coffman.

Barnabas and his father rented land from J. H. Marable. Barnabas
bought the first parcel of land in 1840. In the year following his
father's death he built the house. The house stood for the next 100
years and parts of it still stand. There is evidence in the structure
of the original log section of many months of preparation. Thousands
of carefully cut and carved wooden pegs are now exposed between the
logs. These held the mortar in place. Many hand made nails were
used, clearly saying long winter nights were spent working and
planning before realizing their ambitions.

Clustered around the house were buildings which included a loom house,
for weaving; a potato house, for storing root vegetables; a smoke
house for curing hams and bacon; a wash house, for laundry; a smith,
for shoeing horses and repairing equipment; and a springhouse, for
keeping milk and butter fresh.

For twenty years he was a member of McCulloch Lodge No. 189 F. and
A.M. He and Susan were devoted members of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South, and reared their five children as respected members of
the community. The children were Wiley, Bettie, Bobbie, Wilse and
Dora.

Barney, as he was known by his friends, died the 11th of June, 1881,
followed by Susan, October 12, 1887. They were buried in the family
plot up on the hill above the home place. It is a lovely spot and
well cared for today.

The Will names wife Agnes, sons, Francis, Elias, Jr., Major Ross,
William, James Taylor, daughter Ann, wife of Stephen
Camp, daughter Betsy, wife of Jacob Fisher, daughter
Jane, wife of Vardry McRee or McBee. Also grandchildren William D.

Forest City, NC, in Rutherford Co. The wife of Col. Elias was Nancy Agnes McCall.

History of Old Tryon & Rutherford Co., NC -1730 - 1936:
By Clarence W. Griffin, Asheville, NC: The Miller Printing Company, 1937
Page 170:
Senator Elias Alexander, III, was a son of Elias Alexander, II, who was born
in Maryland in 1746. Elias Alexander, I, lived in Maryland and died there in
1747. His wife was Ann Taylor, who died in Mecklenburg Co., NC, in 1800.
Elias Alexander, II, was a son of this couple. He migrated to Mecklenburg Co.
with other Alexanders, and settled in the Sugaw Creek settlement, a few miles
north of Charlotte. Elias, II, later removed to Rutherford Co., and was a
valiant soldier in the Revolution, participating in the battles at Kings
Mountain and Guilford Court House. His wife, Agnes (McCall) Alexander, died in
Rutherford Co. in 1826 and Col. Elias Alexander died May 13, 1818. They had
eleven children:
(1) Francis Alexander (1778-1852), many years county surveyor
of Rutherford Co. His daughter, Jane McBee, married Francis S. Coxe of
Philadelphia, April 24, 1823. They were the parents of the late Frank Coxe of
Asheville. Margaret Rebecca, another daughter of Francis Alexander, married
Rev. Campbell Smith of the South Carolina Methodist Conference. A son, Ross
Alexander, Jr., married Charlotte Hill and they were parents of the late J. F.
Alexander, Forest City lumberman, businessman, textile manufaccturer and
Assemblyman, and Hon. A. C. Alexander, of Georgia.
(2) Major Ross Alexander,
Sr., son of Elias, II, was thrown from a mule and killed July 6, 1849, near
Hazelhurst Farm, three miles south of Forest City.
(3) Anna married StephenCamp.
(4) Jane married Verdry McBee, of Lincolnton.
(5) Margaret married Col. David Reinhardt.
(6) Patsy Blanton married Jacob Fisher.
(7) William Alexander died 1821.
(8) Elias Alexander, III, was State Senator in 1832. He was living in Greenville, SC, in 1875.
(9) James Taylor Alexander
(10) Thomas Alexander (died young)
(11) Alston Alexander (died young).

The commission of Col. Elias Alexander was said to have been destroyed
when the house of his kinsman, John McKnitt Alexander, was destroyed
by fire. The Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence was destroyed at
the same time.

Source: Part of an article by Frank S. Coxe, great-grandson of Col. Elias, written 9 Apr 1896:
"The second day after the battle at Biggerstaff's old field, 8 miles east of Rutherford Co., NC, then Gilbert Town, a court martial was held. They condemned a large number of the prisoners taken at King's Mountain to be hung the next morning at sunrise. Col. (Elias) Alexander protested against it as there was a Col. to be tried and there was no one of sufficient rank to try a Colonel, and he, Col.
Elias Alexander, refused to preside as he did not have his commission
with him. He made a speech demanding that the court martial be postponed until the next day, when Gen. Joseph McDowell, the ranking officer at King's Mountain would come up and the trial proceed properly and legally.
Gen. McDowell did not arrive until the next morning after sunrise and after 8 men had been hung. He had heard that there was a danger of this, as reprisals were in order, but thought that Alexander could prevent it. When he did arrive, he stopped the whole affair, and neither tried nor executed any others. McDowell was old and feebleand could not keep up with the battalion under Alexander in charge of the prisoners and the fear that Tarleton might recapture the prisoners
made them get away as quickly as possible.
These facts were given to me by Francis Alexander when he was 84 years old, as having been told to him by his father, Col Elias Alexander. John Davenport of Hickory Nut Gap, who died in 1862 at the age of 97, knew Col. Alexander well and corroborates the foregoing account."

Alex Kin "Elias Alexander was born about 1748, some records say in Ireland, but most probably in he was born in Pennsylvania. He lived on Floyd Creek, Rutherford County, North Carolina, where he raised a large family of sons and daughters. He was married in 1770 to Annie ( Nancy ) McCall, a sister to the grandmother of James K. Polk."
"Elias bore the Commission as Colonel, Given to him by General Nathaniel Greene."

1029 Abigail was still alive on 15 Sep 1840, when she signed for $286.89 as
her dowry from the estate of Thos. L Signed with an "X". Steve
Lawrence wrote that he has a copy of this document. The following also
comes from Steve: Abigail does not appear on the 1840 Census for
Butler County as a separate household. She may appear on the 1840
census with Stephen and Susan Step ?? which lists an older female
(need to confirm this - info is from Barbara Lawrence). Abigail's
children had mostly left the county. Stephen Step was possibly farming
Thomas' property after he married Susan Lawrence, reflected by the
fact that he bought all the parcels of this property distributed to
survivors in 1851 (as well as the census info). This is in an
Indenture of 1851, which says this land was patented 8 Sep 1815 on the
Big Muddy Creek, Butler Co. (Source: Deed Book?, pg. 593 for 1851).
However, I think it is the same 200 acres he had all along - evidently
it took several years to get the lines straightened out. Abigail
appears in Butler Co. tax lists (no record for 1836?) for 1837, 1839,
1840, and 1842 - 1845, usually with 250 and sometimes 280 acres on
either Meadow Branch or the Big Muddy River. (Information is courtesy
of Don Fletcher).

1035 Abraham Lawrence I migrated to Maryland in 1668 and was probably the
same who sold fifty acres of land to William Truly on November 4 1671
"which is due to me for my transportation out of Virginia into
Maryland". It seems he was an indentured servant who finally worked
off the cost of his transportation to this country and established
himself.

1036 Abraham Lawrence IIappears first on a Maryland Record as a vestryman
of St. John's Parish (Copley) in 1693. He married probably as early as
1685 a lady named Jane. Her last name is unknown. He appears the first
time as a landholder in the north side of Gunpowder-Hundred
in Baltimore County in August 1695 for tax purposes. He appears also
on the Baltimore County Maryland, Tax List 1699-1706 compiled by
Raymond B. Clark and Sarah Seth Clark (1964) for the years 1699-1705.

Taylor, Abraham Lawrence II (I6913)
 
1037 Abraham Taylor III appears first and only on the 1705 list. His father
accumulated quite a large estate prior to his death on July 20 1719,
in Baltimore County Maryland. It is recorded in the St. John's Parish
Register, pg. 96. His Will was made in 1717. His son John Taylor was
made executor and his son Abraham and daughter Lettie (Taylor)
Doddridge were beneficiaries of it. Her (Lettie) brothers migrated to
North Carolina in the late 1720's but she and her family remained in
Maryland. The families of Abraham Taylor I (c. 1661-1719) and Abraham
Taylor III, (c. 1685-1751) were of the Anglican faith (English
Episcopal or Church of England).

Clark, Petty, Scurlock, Hill)

John Milton's father, Dr. George Glascock, was murdered in 1787 so is
not listed but his wife and John Milton's mother, Patty, is listed in
the 1790 census as 4 families away from John Milton Glascock, and only
3 families from James Caddell who was probably related to Polly, John
Milton's wife. When or why John moved to Buncombe County or where in
that county is to be determined.

After the murder of John Milton's father, Dr. Geo. Glascock, Philip
Alston was never found guilty of the charge of accessory to murder.
"The case remained under the jurisdiction of the Wilmington District
Superior Court even after the Fayettesville District was established
in 1789 and included Moore Co. There appears to have been difficulty
in getting people to court to testify against Alston. At the June
term of 1788 of Superior Court, Reuben Shields, John Harding and Jesse
Upton were placed under bond to appear at the December 1788 session as
witnesses against Alston. This was repeated from term to term until
the December term 1789 when John Milton Glascock, son of George
Glascock, andf Reuben Shields, were bonded to appear against Alston at
the June session 1790 (Wilmington Dist. Superior Court minutes
1789-1791, DCR 12.003)
The Wilmington District State Docket shows Alston was scheduled for
trial at the December term, with John Milton Glascock as prosecutor,
and Henry Person, Jesse Upton, Josephia Payne, Reuben Shields and
James Maples as witnesses." Philip Alston fled jail about 8 Jan 1790
causing the trial to be "put off till the party be found". Alston was
later murdered himself, therefore the trial never continued. (Quotes
from "A History of the House in the Horseshoe" by Geo. W. Willcox)

Moved to GA 1812-1815, then to TN 1816, and to Bibb Co, AL somewhere
between 1816 and 1820 (Probably in 1818 when AL became a state). Born
in Lancaster Co., VA, raised in Carthage, NC, moved to Bunscombe Co.,
NC, then lived in GA, and TN, then moved to AL where he raised his
family in several different Alabama counties. In AL settled in
Isabella & Macedonia Community on the waters of Mulberry Creek. Ths
area later became Baker Co. for a few years & then Chilton Co.

John Milton Glascock purchased two "Pre-emption" Land Patents from the
Cahaba Land Office (sequential certificates #5980 & 5982 dated 1 June,
1831). John M. is specifically identified as "Senr." on these grants.
These are for 80 acres (E1/2 of SW 1/4, Sec. 20, T17, R5) which is now
in the extreme North East corner of Marengo Co. and 80 acres (E1/2 of
SE 1/4, Sec. 34, T22, R12) which is now in far West Chilton Co. on the
Bibb Co. line. The term "pre-emption" indicates that the purchaser
was living (squatting) on the land prior to the time of the survey and
was thus granted priority in purchasing. The two tracts were 51
miles apart (as the crow flies).

before Martin Luther went to Marshall Co. Several of the rest of the
family evidently went to Cullman Co., AL.

According to Madeline Evans, Martin Luther grew up in Blowing Rock,
Wautage Co., NC. Addendum: John was the overseer for some rich man
in NC and they worked in the cotton fields when he was little. He
went back to school at the age of 23. (9 Aug 2000)

1041 According to Crispin and Macary, "William (Guillaume) Malet de
Graville stands out as one of the most imposing figures at the
Conquest. There can be no doubt about his presence there, which is
subscribed to by William of Poitiers, Guy of Amiens, Orderic Vital,
and all the historians of this epoch. Successor to his father, he was
among the greatest land owners in England. He held over 221 manors in
Suffolk alone. He was Lord Chamberlain under King Henry I., and Lord
of Eye in Suffolk (1086). He lost his life and fortune at the Battle
of Tinchebrai, where he espoused the cause of Duke Robert. As a
consequence of this action c. 1105 he was banished and disinherited.

1042 According to family history by Hettie Smith Hudgins, he died of
pneumonia when he was very young. According to family history by
Madeline Dees, it is said he died of blood poisoning.

1043 According to the seventh century chronicler Fredegar, the wife of
semi-legendary King Clodio had an encounter with a Quinotaur. From
this encounter came the ruler Merovich after whom the Merovingians
were named. The son of Merovich was said to be Childeric, and his son
was Clovis I (465 - 511).

The details of the lives and deeds as well as the actual relationship
between Chlodio, Merovich and Childeric are shrouded in myth and
legend. However these Salic chieftains were related, they were
certainly part of the leading family of the Salian Franks. They were
distinguished, like other Germanic aristocratic families by the
fashion of allowing their hair (and sometimes beards as well) to grow
long, and they became known as "the long haired kings".

Clovis I was the first important ruler of the Merovingian Dynasty and
is considered the founder of the French State. He became Chieftain of
the Salian Franks in 481. In 486, he defeated the last great Roman
army in Gaul and went on to defeat many minor princes, kings and
tribal chieftains to form the first Frankish Kingdom. Clovis I
married in 493 to Clotilda (475 - 545), later St. Clotilda, daughter
of Childperic, King of the Burgundians.

Germanic tribesmen living close to the North Sea tended to have fairly
large timber houses supported by four rows of posts that divided the
house into three rooms. The family lived in the centre room, while a
smaller room on one side was used for storage and a larger room on the
other side was used to house the animals whose body heat helped warm
the living quarters. From this arrangement comes the story that "the
people lived in the barn" or that "the cattle lived in the house."

Further inland, people tended to inhabit dwellings that were supported
by upright posts but without interior supports. These dwellings
varied in size from 20 feet X 12 feet up to perhaps 25 feet square.
Long, narrow buildings about 12 feet X 25 feet housed the cattle while
smaller structures 12 feet square were used for storage. Some of
these smaller storage buildings were partially underground.

The main crops were barley, wheat, oats, peas and beans. Crop
rotation was practiced, and fields were improved by adding limestone
and manure. Depleted soil was abandoned and new land brought into use
using the slash and burn technique. Simple scratch ploughs pulled by
oxen were most common, and they didn't actually turn the soil. Grain
was left attached to the hay and was roasted slightly to preserve it.
Grain was separated from the hay as needed and ground using simple
hand grindstones. Once ground, flour was used to prepare porridge and
flat bread. Grain was also used to make beer.

Cattle were very important and were an indicator of wealth. Pigs,
sheep, goats, horses, chickens and geese were also kept. Every
portion of the animals was used either for food or for the production
of clothing, shelter and utensils. Wild animals were hunted and killed
for sport and to eliminate nuisance animals. Wild animals are thought
to have made up less than 5% of the total animals used.

Iron was produced using small, crude but effective charcoal furnaces
made of earth. These ovens held about a litre of ore, and only 200
grams of iron could be made at a time from the very best ore. This
iron was worked into very high quality steel, far superior to the
equipment of the Roman troops. However, the Germanic tribes were iron
poor, and weapons such as long swords were rare.

Each individual household was dominated by the father who held
authority over all the members. A number of households, sometimes as
many as fifty, were grouped into a family clan-like organization. A
number of clans formed a tribe which was sometimes overseen by a
"king" who was really a tribal chieftain. The "king" was usually
chosen from one family that was most closely identified with the
ethnic, cultural and historical traditions of the tribe - that is,
from a "royal family." Some tribes had several kings, one to preside
over meetings, one for religious ceremonies and one for military
command. Other tribes didn't have a king at all.

In order to survive and prosper, a tribe had become almost completely
militarized; that is, the tribe had to become an army. This is what
appears to have happened with the Salian Franks whose Merovingian
Kings dominated the region from the fifth century onwards.

1044 According to tradition, history and old records, the McCoys came to
the area known as Craven Co. in the early 1700s. In the year of 1736,
Alexander McCoy...and several others came from Scotland to explore the
region of the Cape Fear. They returned to Scotland, and in Sep of
1739 they came back with ships bringing to America the first Scotish
immigrants numbering more than 300 persons. These Scots settled along
the rivers and streams in the Craven Precinct (now known as the
Piedmont section). In 1746, after the Battle of Culloden in Scotland,
thousands more came to the "Plantations beyond the sea." Scot
migration continued into the area until the outbreak of the
Revolutionary War.

Land grants are recorded for Ellijah, William and Willis McCoy in the
year 1740. William and Willis were serving in the home guard (known
as the Militia) as early as 1758. Elijah and William served in the
"Troop Horse" in 1758. John McCoy was killed by the British in 1787
in the Battle of Eutaw Springs in SC.

Willis had a deed consisting of 100 acres of land in Craven Co. on the
west side of Core Creek joining the line of Solomon Beckley and
William McCoy beginning near the Poley Bridge Branch - 28 Oct 1783, DB
60, page 8.

Willis was listed in the home guard of NC as early as 1754 along with
William McCoy, Solomon Beasley and Owen Daugherty. According to
Melissa McCoy Bell (mbell@netten.net) and her genealogy on
www.angelfire.com, Willis changed the spelling of his name from McCoy
to Mecoy during the Revolutionary War as a result of an argument
between him and his brother. The brother served for Britian and
Willis served for the American Colonies. Most of Willis's offspring
reverted to the original spelling during the next few generations
though some continued to spell it Mecoy until the middle of the 20th
century.

Willis McCoy's Will was made 9 Oct 1800. He was deceased Mar 1801
(page 112 in the early register of Willis in Craven Co.). Executors
of his will were John Hardy and wife Kesiah.

1045 Adam De Bruce of Skelton, in Yorkshire, England, inherited his
father's great English estates. Adam was ancestor to the family of
Bruce of Skelton, which ceased in the male line in 1271. 
Of Bruce, Adam (I7946)
 
1046 Adam, the son of Uchtred, who lived in the reign of K. Alexander II of Scotland; he obtained from Walter, son of Allen, Lord of the barony of Renfrew, and progenitor (says the pedigree) to the Stewarts, Kings of Scotland, the lands of Knox, in the said barony, and according to the prevailing practice of those times, assumed from thence the Surname or hereditary deflagration of Knox. The great Stewarts of Scotland, also granted to the common ancestors of this family, the lands of Ranfurley, Upper Craigends, and Grieff-Castle all in fee; of which estate this family continued possessed until the last century, when they were sold to the Lord of Dundonald.

Adamus from Uchtred, the second son of Walter, Earl of Dunbar, the son
of Cospatrick, Earl of Northumberland, and afterward Earl of Dunbar,
in Scotland, who died 1069. He was a descendant of Maldred, Prince of
the Isles, and brother of Duncan II, King of Scotland, by Algitha
daughter of Ucter, Earl of Northumberland.

1047 AEthelflaed was the eldest child of AElfred the Great. In or about
884 when she was about sixteen, she married the Mercian Ealdorman
AEthelred, who had been created "Lord of the Mercians" by AElfred.
AEthelflaed often signed charters jointly with AEthelred and by 900
had started to take over administration as AEthelred's illness drained
his strength. AEthelflaed had inherited much of the resolve of her
father, and continued her husband's campaigns against the Welsh. She
also led the defense against the Vikings who, having established
themselves in the north and east, now began to settle in the Wirral.
AEthelflaed negotiated with their leader, Ingimund, to control the
settlement, but in 905 the Vikings attacked Chester, causing
AEthelflaed to fortify the town. She recognized that the Vikings
might destroy the Saxon relics in the north and wherever possible she
sought to salvage objects of veneration. These included the relics of
Oswald of Northumbria which were translated to Gloucester in 909. When
AEthelred died in 922, AEthelflaed continued to rule, though subject
to her brother, Edward the Elder of Wessex. She created new fortified
boroughs against the Welsh and Vikings, including those at Bridgnorth
and Bromsgrove, and she sought to assist the Scots and Strathclyde
Britons against the Norse of Dublin and York. AEthelflaed was one of
the great warrior queens of England, and was highly respected by her
enemies. She died at Tamworth on June 12, 918, about age fifty.
Although she was succeeded by her daughter Elfwynn, it is evident that
she expected AEthelstan, the eldest son of Edward the Elder, whom she
had fostered and raised, to become king, which he eventually did.

1049 After Gen Shelby died, Isabella remarried to Alexander Dromgoole/gold and had 2 children by him-John & Sarah.
Gen Shelby's son, Gov Isaac Shelby, spent much of his remaining days trying to prove Alexander was a bigamist. Alexander responded by vandalizing the Gen's grave-for which he got into a lot of trouble! It is unknown what became of Isabella. Alexander died in a poor house (abt 1829, I think) Don't know what became of John, but Sarah married and came to Texas & settled in the Denton area.

Isaac BAKER, close friend of Gen Evan, and for whom Evan named his son,[Gov] Isaac SHELBY- In correspondance with a descendant of Mr Baker, Gerald H Clark of Bristol, TN, in Oct 1988..."..Alexander Dromgoole was an Indian trader, from Frederick Co, VA. After the RW he aspired to be Virginia's Indian Agent, with the Cherokees in particular"...

There are references by the Shelby's to Alexander by 1791-Isabella married Alexander in Sullivan Co, TN about 1797...The family didn't like him, and Gov Isaac Shelby [Gen Evan's son] tried for years to prove he was a bigamist...Alexander also got in to a heck of a lot of trouble for vandalizing Gen Evan's gravesite....I don't know what happened to the marriage..Isabella may have died before he did, as Alexander died alone in a poorhouse, in 1829, at the age of 74, in Washington Co, VA-[Court Minutes], and nothing further has been found on Isabella...

Gov Isaac was the executor of his father's estate. When Isaac settled this part of the estate [1798], he wrote, "I have no farther demands against said Isabella on account of the said Estate, nor has she any farther claim against sd Estate either for Dower or otherwise and further it is a primary object in the settlemt. which I have made with sd Isabella that Alexander Dromgoole is on no pretence whatever to set his foot on the Sapling Grove Plantation belonging to me"

Actually the Shelby's didn't like Isabella either! They took her for a gold digger...Gen Evan was 68 when he married her, and she was young enough to give him 3 children; then when he died in 1794, she waited several years before she married Alexander, and had 2 children by him. Both she and Alexander were educated, as both could read and write..At the time of their marriage they were living on "Sapling Grove" in Sullivan Co, TN. By 29 Nov of 1799 they were living in Washington Co, VA..On this date Isaac Shelby paid his lawyer $8.00 for handling the case- There is a court record this date in which Isabella relinquishes all rights to the land and would remove from the premises by Dec 1799...It was recorded 21 Oct 1800 in Washington Co..And Alexander was not under any pretense whatsoever, set his foot on "Sapling Grove".. Which may be what prompted Alexander to take out his anger on Gen Evan's grave.

8 Mar 1814, Abington, Wash. Co, VA- James SHELBY [son of Gen Evan & Isabella], writes his will..."I give to my half brother John DROMGOOLE, in case he shall conduct himself honestly, soberly and discreetly, $500,
payable when he attains to the age of 21..," "...I give and bequeath to my half sister, Sally DROMGOOLE, $500..." (Judy Trolinger -2001 post)
