1053 After the Battle of Agincourt (1415), the French aristocracy fell into
some disarray. Many French landowners who did not bear coat armour
found themselves raised to the level of seigneur because they began to
fulfill legal and judicial duties to fill the power vacuum. Richard
DuPree was granted a coat of arms in 1437. He may well have married
into the aristocratic Vermondois family. His son Richard (II) styled
himself Richard de Vermondois du Pre.

1066 ALFRED JUDSON "JUD" DAUGHERTY was born October 2, 1863 in Ohio County,
Kentucky and married LUELLEN "LUELLA" PALESTINE KESSINGER on February
4, 1885 in Butler County, Kentucky. Luella was born in October 24,
1870 in Butler County, Kentucky to Virgil Preston Kessinger and Sarah

Luella died January 10, 1908 while giving birth. Luella is buried at
Richland Cemetery in Livermore and has no marker. Three of Alfred and
Luella's children died before the 1900 cencus, their names unknown,
one was a twin to their daughter Mahala. I found an interesting
article in the 1998 summer issue of Fiddler Magazine about a Butler
County fiddler named Charlie Kessinger. He mentions Alfred Judson
Daugherty, "I played a tune for a long time before I knowed any name
for it. My daddy caught it from an old cross-eyed man whistling it. We
always called it Jud Daugherty's Tune. That was the old man's name.
One of my neighbors wanted me to bring my violin one night and play
somewhere. I began to paly it and he began singing right after me.
'Down in New Orleans,' that was the name of it." Alfred Judson and
Luella are parents of the following children born in Ohio County,
Kentucky:

1. Martin Newton Daugherty born May 7, 1888 and married Mary Ann
"Mandy" Burden on November 13, 1909 in Mclean County, Kentucky. Mary

Washington Casey Sr and Mircilla E. Embry. Luvina died September24,
1966 in Butler County. Lonnie died November 26, 1921. He was using a
fodder shredder that he had invented when one of the teeth flew out

Embry. They both died in Indianapolis, Indiana and are buried at
Centertown, in Ohio County, Kentucky.

Alfred Judson is buried in Livermore, Mclean County, Ky in Hackett Cemetery. Just as you enter the cemetery his marker is the first one on the right beside of a large tree. Alfred's wife Luella Palestine Kessinger is buried at Richland Cemetery just outside of Livermore. She has no stone.... This cemetery lies between 3rd and 4th street and is on a hill... Hackett Cemetery was all grown up in woods when I was growing up and the city cleaned the hill off in the 80's.... Alfred Judson Daugherty actually was living with his daughter Lula Rosa Daugherty and her Husband Clay Davis at the foot of the cemetery when he died. My Aunt Juanita Davis told me that when she was a child she would run by his house when he was sitting on the porch and yell, "Smarty, Smarty, Old Man Daugherty" and he would shake his cane at her and laugh. She actually married his grandson Quay Kassinger when she grew up.... When I was about 8 years old my grandfather, George Davis, told me that there was a pipe at the cemetery and if I yelled, "Who goes there," into it, I would get an answer. He lived near it and followed me when I tried it. Then he wispered from behind a tree, "Just us stiffs," and I ran screaming for Mom. He got a huge laugh out of it and I did not go back to the cemetery for a long time. (Source: Holly Johnson)

 
Daugherty, Alfred Judson (I7537)
 
1067 Alfred was sent to Rome at the age of five, when he was confirmed by
Pope Leo IV.
He reigned 871-900 and won reknown not only for his martial abilities,
but for his efforts to further the cause of law, education and
culture.

Alfred was a staunch defender of his country against the Danish
invaders who had begun to harass England in the reigns of his father
and brothers. He was at first driven into obscure quarters in the isle
of Athelney near the river Parrot, in Somerset. In 878, however,
Alfred overthrew the Danes at Ethandune or Edington, in Wiltshire, and
compelled them to accept the treaty of Wedmore.

1071 All notes below are from the work of P.R.Bruckner:
In 2008, Knox-DNA Project results proved a genetic link between descendants of Captain Patrick Knox of North Mecklenburg and descendants of Robert Knox of Lincoln County. In February 2009, results link descendants of Matthew Knox of Steele Creek, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina to both Patrick and Robert.

The KNOX-DNA project results-to-date place my Patrick in Line No. 1. The Matthew, b. 1803, Pendleton SC [who m. 1828 in Pendleton SC, Belinda Nicholson] has also been placed in this genetic group -- along with Robert Knox, b. 1842, Ireland - d. 1833 Lincoln Co, NC who m. Mary Ewart and William B. Knox, b. abt 1803, SC who m. 1825 in Hancock Co, GA, Hetty Wilkins. How these all connect is still unclear... We do not yet have a participant from John A. P. Knox's line.

Just one detail I want to clear up re Patrick Knox. Although he could have lived in Tryon/Lincoln at some time before 1779, there is no surviving evidence he ever did.

Captain Patrick Knox died in Lincoln in 1780 in a Rev War battle, but according to all historical accounts he was "of Mecklenburg." Lincolnton wasn't that far "over the county line" from Patrick's property on the "east side" of the Catawba River documented by a Sept 1779 Deed. I believe his 373 acres was located near Cowan's Ford, probably south of the Power Plant/Dam now on Lake Norman. His estate papers also state he was of Mecklenburg, and the estate was probated in Mecklenburg, so there is no question were he lived immediately prior to his death. (Peggy Bruckner - 30-Sept-2008)

Patrick Knox is said to have been killed at the Battle of Ramsur's
Mill, Lincoln Co., NC which took place 20 June 1780.. Source: FTM
CD524, Sketches of Western North Carolina; Author: C.L Hunter. (It is
not known when this Patrick was born, but I estimate between
1720-1740. His burial location is also unknown, but assumed to be
somewhere in Lincoln Co, NC were his estate was probated.)

"Now that we have Knox-DNA evidence of Patrick's connection with old Matthew of Steele Creek, I'm keeping an eye out for clues there as well." (Source: Peggy Bruckner - 7-2009)

In a January 3, 1996 article, written by Ken Brotherton and published
in the Mecklenburg Gazette, Mr. Brotherton states that Robert's
"brother, Patrick, was killed" at the Battle of Ramseur's Mill (June
20, 1780) in Lincolnton, Lincoln Co, NC; (see 1782 Estate of Patrick
Knox, naming widow Mary and his children: Matthew, Ruth, Jane, James,
& Hannah.)

The History of Lincoln County By Alfred Nixon, page 6, 7:
"THE BATTLE OF RAMSOUR'S MILL"
The Tories were embodied at Ramsour's Mill through the efforts of
Lieut.-Col. John Moore and Maj. Nicholas Welch. These officers left
the victorious British on the march from Charleston and arrived at
their homes early in June, 1780. Moses Moore, the father of Colonel
Moore, was a native of Carlyle, England, married a Miss Winston, near
Jamestown, Virginia, and came to this section with the pioneers.
Esther, a sister of Colonel Moore, married Joshua Roberts, a patriot
soldier. The late Capt. John H. Roberts, a grandson, lived on the
Moore homestead. It is situate on Indian Creek, eight miles southwest
of Ramsour's Mill. Colonel Moore was an active partisan throughout the
Revolution. Major Welch was a son of John Welch, and was reared next
neighbor to Colonel Moore on Indian Creek. He was of Scottish descent,
of great fluency of speech and fine persuasive power. They bore
English commissions, were arrayed in splendid official equipments and
made lavish display of British gold. By the twentieth of June, these
zealous loyalists collected at Ramsour's Mill a force of 1,300 Tories,
and were actively engaged in their organization and drill preparatory
to marching them to unite with the British in South Carolina. They
occupied a well-chosen and advantageous position for offense and
defense. It was on a high ridge that slopes three hundred yards to the
mill and Clarke's Creek on the west and the same distance to a branch
on the east.

Col. Francis Locke collected a force of Rowan and Mecklenburg militia
to engage the Tories. His detachments met at Mountain Creek, sixteen
miles from Ramsour's on Monday, the 19th, and when united amounted to
four hundred men. They marched at once to the assault of the Tory
position. At dawn of day on the morning of the 20th, in two miles of
Ramsour's, they were met by Adam Reep, a noted scout, with a few
picked men from the vicinity of the camp, who detailed to Colonel
Locke the position of the enemy, and the plan of attack was formed.
The mounted men under Captains McDowell, Brandon, and Falls, marching
slowly were to follow the road due west to the camp, and not attack
until the footmen under Colonel Locke could detour to the south, and
reach the foot of the hill along the Tuckaseegee road, and make a
simultaneous assault. They proceeded without other organization or
order, it being left to the officers to be governed by circumstances
when they reached the enemy.

The mounted men came upon the Tory picket some distance from the camp,
were fired upon, charged the Tory camp, but recoiled from their deadly
fire. The firing hurried Colonel Locke into action, a like volley
felled many of his men, and they likewise retired. The Tories, seeing
the effect of their fire, came down the hill and were in fair view.
The Whigs renewed the action, which soon became general and obstinate
on both sides. In about an hour the Tories began to fall back to their
original position on the ridge, and a little beyond its summit, to
shield a part of their bodies from the destructive fire of the Whigs,
who were fairly exposed to their fire. In this situation the Tory fire
became so effective the Whigs fell back to the bushes near the branch;
and the Tories, leaving their safe position, pursued half way down the
hill. At this moment Captain Hardin led a company of Whigs into the
field from the south and poured a galling fire into the right flank of
the Tories. Some of the Whigs obliqued to the right, and turned the
left flank of the Tories; while Captain Sharpe led a few men beyond
the crest of the ridge, and, advancing from tree to tree, with
unerring aim picked off the enemy's officers and men, and hastened the
termination of the conflict. The action now became close and warm. The
combatants mixed together, and having no bayonets, struck at each
other with the butts of their guns. When the Whigs reached the summit
they saw the Tories collected beyond the creek, with a white flag
flying. Fifty Tories, unable to make the bridge, were taken prisoners.
Those beyond soon di spersed and made their escape. One-fourth of the
Tories were unarmed, and they with a few others retired at the
commencement of the battle.

Seventy men, including the five Whig and four Tory captains, lay dead
on the field, and more than two hundred were wounded, the loss on each
side being about equal. In this contest, armed with the deadly rifle,
blood relatives and familiar acquaintances and near neighbors fought
in the opposing ranks, and as the smoke of the battle occasionally
cleared away recognized each other in the conflict.

THE BATTLE OF RAMSAUR'S MILL
20 Jun 178O, By William Graham:
Major on Staff of Adjutant General of North Carolina)
...Colonel James Johnston, who lived in Tryon (Gaston) County near
Toole's Ford, and who had joined Major Wilson when he crossed the
river, was dispatched to inform General Rutherford of their action.
Late in the evening they marched down the south side of Anderson's
Mountain, and taking the "State" Road, stopped at the Mountain Spring
to arrange a plan of battle. It was agreed that Brandon's, Fall's and
McDowell's men, being mounted, should open the attack, the footmen to
follow, and every man, without awaiting orders, govern himself as
developments might make necessary as the fight proceeded...
...The troops engaged, except Reep of Lincoln, and Major Wilson,
Captains Knox and Smith of Mecklenburg, were from (what to 1777 had
been) Rowan County. The officers' surnames were found among the
militia officers of the county in the proceedings of the "Committee of
Safety," of which many of them were members. Captain John Hardin's
beat was along Lord Granville's line from Silver Creek in Burke to
South Fork, and from these. two points to the Catawba River. Captain
Joseph Dobson was within its bounds. Much the largest portion of the
troops was from what is now Iredell County. Captain John Sloan was
from Fourth Creek. I do not think all who are mentioned as captains
held that position at this time; some may have been prior to and some
became so afterward. No account was written until forty years had
elapsed. There seems to have been but few commands given in the
engagement; officers and privates acted as occasion required, and both
suffered severely....

1072 Allen Jackson died of pneumonia Sparks, Alan Jackson (I6175)
 
1073 Allen Monroe Cobb died on 3 October 1929 in a truck accident (brake
failure) on Yarnell Hill south of Prescott, Arizona, and is buried in
the Prescott Cemetery. Allen was the only living child of John and
Rebecca Cobb. He did have a sister; however she's not shown on the
1880 census, so I assume she died young. Prior to his death, Allen
Monroe Cobb was in the trucking business with his youngest son,
William Cobb, hauling between Prescott and Phoenix for the most part.

Allen Monroe Cobb married Susie Shackelford on 4 July 1883 in her
parents' home in Kerrville, Texas. He was 22 and she was 16. Susie
was the daughter of Thomas B. and Elizabeth (Huffman) Shackelford.
Susie was born about 1867 in Texas. She died on 13 July 1947 in
Bakersfield, California. 
Cobb, Allen Monroe (I6135)
 
1074 Almost nothing is known of this John.
John and Hannah were married in the home of Samuel Neely in Steele
Creek.

Knox, John and Hannah Neely on May 4, 1826 in Mecklenburg County at home of Samuel Neely by Rev. Mr. Hunter, July 24, 1827.

It is known that in 1828, John and Hannah were living in Lincoln Co.,
NC as found in the court records as follows: From: Abstracts of Deed
Books 15-23, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, 1794 - 1830 by Herman

Thomas B. Neely all of Mecklenburg for $767.42, the interest of the
grantors in the lands of Saml. Neely, decd. Wit: John Hard, & Jos.
Neely. Thomas J. Greer examined Jane and Hannah apart from their
husbands and acknd that the ladies signed the deed voluntarily. Proven
at Feb Court 1829. Reg. 21 Mar 1829.

Samuel Knox would have been a 1st cousin of James B. Knox and son of
Samuel Knox, brother of James, the father of James B. Knox.
It would appear that John died prior to his father since in his
father, James' will, he leaves money to his daughter-in-law Hannah and
grandson, John Knox. This is probably why nothing was known on John.
He had married and moved to Lincoln Co and then died prior to his
father making his will.

1075 Also called Constance of Talliefer.


 
Of Toulouse, Constance (I34)
 
1076 Also called Ethelfrida.
Ruled c 883 - 911
He succeeded Ceolwulf II. His pedigree is not known, his name
suggests he may have come from either Mercian or West Saxon stock.
Although he issued many charters in his own name which imply a royal
status, by the time of his reign Mercia was subject to AElfred, and
AEthelred was at most
a client king. He became better known under the title "Lord of the
Mercians", though he was also styled ealdorman, the title used in the
ASC in 886 when AEthelred was entrusted with the city of London. It
was likely that by this time AEthelred had already married AElfred's
daughter AEthelflaed. AEthelred was noted for his hostility to the
Welsh and there were many border battles. At one stage Brochwael of
Gwent was alleged to have sought aid from AElfred to stop AEthelred's
oppression. Athelred fortified Worcester and developed Gloucester,
which was their seat of residence. AEthelred continued in power after
the death of AElfed, but his position seemed less secure during the
reign of Edward the Elder. He had a debilitating disease in his final
years and left much of the government to AEthelflaed. He died in 911.

1088 ANALYSIS OF PETITION OF EXECUTORS OF MARTHA DUMAS:
A Petition in Equity was filed by JOSEPH CULPEPPER and JOHN CULPEPPER,
executors of the estate of MARTHA DUMAS against DAVID DUMAS,
administrator of the estate of BENJAMIN DUMAS in the Superior Court of
Rowan County, North Carolina in September, 1764. This Petition was
recently found and copied in the North Carolina Archives by Gertrude
J. Stone. The location of the record is most curious. The Archives
stamped the copy.

From: Rowan County Estate Records, 1753 to 1929
Name: Benjamin Dumas

In actuality the Petition is a pleading in the Superior Court and
belongs in its records rather than in the estate records.

All of the parties were residents of Anson County, NC. Accordingly, at
first it seems quite odd that the case was filed in Rowan County. A
knowledge of the evolution of English courts taught only in legal
history courses and of North Carolina courts is necessary to explain
the anomaly. Over the centuries a dual court system evolved in
England. "Law" courts were more rigid. "Equity" courts were more free
to fashion a remedy if the aggrieved party "had no remedy at law." The
Petition filed in this case was in equity. Apparently, there was no
equity court in Anson County and Rowan County had equity Jurisdiction
over Anson County. Hence, the case was filed in Rowan Superior Court.

Under English common law, when a husband died, his widow had dower
rights in one-third of his estate during the remainder of her life.
However, upon the death of the widow, the property enjoyed by the
widow during her lifetime would go to the heirs of the husband. The
Petition was a suit by the children of MARTHA Dumas by her first
husband, JOSEPH CULPEPPER, claiming the dower property should pass to
them under MARTHA'S last will and testament rather than to revert to
BENJAMIN DUMAS' children, by operation of law.

The Petition establishes the following:
( 1 ) BENJAMIN DUMAS died without will on October 21, 1763.
(2) MARTHA DUMAS made her will on January 23, 1764 and died the next
day on January 24, 1764.
(3) DAVID DUMAS applied for letters of administration for the estate
of BENJAMIN DUMAS on January 24, 1764.
(4) The will of MARTHA DUMAS was proved on January 26, 1764.
(5) The Petition was filed in September, 1764. However, for some
reason, a Summons was not issued until March 22, 1766. The Summons set
a court date of September 22, 1766.

The Petition sets out the verbatim text of the will of MARTHA DUMAS.
The important parts are as follows:
(1) . . . I give and bequeath to my youngest son SAMPSON CULPEPPER ore
Negro girl named Effey.
(2) .... I give and bequeath unto my son JOSEPH CULPEPPER, JOHN
CULPEPPER, AND SAMPSON CULPEPPER, AND ELIZABETH WILDER, and SARAH
CULPEPPER my well beloved children, an equal part and portion to each
and every of them, to be equally divided..."
(3) Sons JOHN and JOSEPH were named executors.
(4) Witnesses were JOHN COLSON, JOHN GIBSON and ANDREW PRESLY....

1094 Andrew is the Grandfather of Jonathan Belcher, Governor of MA and New
Jersey. He was one of the first settlers of the Bay Colony and thus
one of the founding fathers of America. He was a passenger on one of
the first ships to MA, arrived in America in 1639 and was one of the
founders of Sudbury, MA, establishing himself as a businessman.

Andrew's son, Capt. Andrew Belcher Jr. (1678-1717) through his own
industriousness and intelligence, rose to the positoin of one of
Boston's wealthiest merchants, owning investments in many shipping
fleets, warehouses and grain, while at the same time serving fifteen
years on the Mass. Council (1702-1717).

Capt. Belcher's extensive shipping trade extended to the Carribean.
Known for his honesty and belief in God, Andrew Belcher Jr, in the
final moments of his life, eloquently blessed his son, Jonathan in Old
Testament fashion. Jonathan, as Governor, issuing a Proclamation,
played an important role in the American Colony origin and tradition
of the Thanksgiving Celebration.

1095 Andrew Knox, who entered into holy orders, was minister of Paisley after the reformation , and was promoted in 1603 to the Bishopric of the Isles, by privy seal 12th August 1610, and was translated to the sea of Raphoe in Ireland , was soon after called into the Privy Council, and the 22nd June 1619 was made a free denizen ( as was his Irish son ) of that Kingdom, and died 7th March 1632. He had one son Thomas Knox, who succeeded his father and died before 1628 without issue, hence there is no male issue of the Bishop of Raphoe, but many honourable families in Scotland are said to have descended from his daughters. Knox, Andrew (I9502)

assumed that he was a major in the militia as he would have been to
young to serve in the War of 1812.
