| 1101 | Arnulf I, by name Arnulf the Great, or The Elder, French Armoul Le Grand, or Le Vieux, Dutch Arnulf De Grote, or De Oude (b. c. 900 and d. March 27, 965), Count of Flanders (918-958, 962-965) son of Baldwin II. On his father's death in 918 the inherited lands were divided between Arnulf and his brother Adolf, but the latter survived only a short time and Arnulf succeeded to the whole inheritance. His reign was filled with warfare against the Norsemen, and he took an active part in the struggles in Lorraine between the Emperor Otto I, and Hugh Capet. In 958 Arnulf placed the government in the hands of his son Baldwin (Baldwin III), and the young man, though his reign was a very short one, did a great deal for the commercial and industrial progress of the country, establishing the first weavers and fullers at Ghent and instituting yearly fairs at Ypres, Bruges, and other places. On Baldwin III's death in 962 the old Count Arnulf I, resumed control and spent the few remaining years of his life in securing the succession of his grandson Arnulf II, the Younger (reigned 965-988).

| 1105 | As a boy, Alphy Powers left before daylight every morning after doing his chores and walked to Marable's Crossing to catch the train for Cumberland City to attend the Academy. He lived at home for a while after marrying, where his first son was born. They then moved to Erin and he worked a few years for the railroad. Three childlren were born there. They came back to the farm when his father needed him. He was a skilled carpenter and built a house located over the hill from his parent's home. Their youngest child was born in the new house. His interest in education never waned. He served several years on the county school board while continuing to read and broaden his own. He attended Wilson Chapel Church until it was closed. He then became a member of Tarsus Methodist Church. His life ended abruptly in an automobile accident while still in his prime. He is remembered as an outstanding citizen and leader in the community.

| 1107 | As both the 18th Century and the American Revolution drew to a close, settlers were pushing westward. KY became a state in 1792 followed by TN in 1796. The frontier beckoned to Daniel and about 1795, with his wife and three children, he made the trip to KY. In KY six other children were born; Sarah, born in 1796 in Warren Co., Thomas John born in 1797 in Warren Co., Nancy born 5 February 1799 in Butler Co., Moses, then Sidney born 12 Apr 1801, and William born 31 May 1803. In 1810 the census ofButler Co., KY stated that Daniel lived with 1 male under 9 years old, 2 males 10 - 15, himself at 45 or over, 3 females under 9, 3 females 15-25, and his wife, Nance at 45 or over. Daniel Daugherty died in 1845 in Butler Co., KY. Nancy died in 1846, also in Butler Co., KY.

| 1108 | Asa enlisted in the Army at Catossa Co. GA. The Gordon Co. Census of 25 June 1860 listed him as a farmer, age 25. and born in S. C. as was his wife, age 23; two children were listed, Mary A. , age 3 and William F. , age 9 months. | Woolbright, Asa C. (I698)

| 1109 | At eighteen years of age, Bartholomew entered the army, where his intelligence and fidelity soon won him the confidence of the King, Louis XIV, who promoted him at an early age to be an officer in his household guard. He so far trusted and honoured him as often to select him to perform duties so important as to require his own signature to some of the orders. One of these papers was the means of saving this officer and his wife from arrest and most probably from death. But a short time before the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, he married a Countess, Susannah Lavillon, and retired to his villa for a short respite from his military duties. | Deupree, Barthelemy (Bartholomew) II (I7155)

| 1112 | b. August 9, 1827 d. August 1, 1902 Terry's Texas Rangers, 8th Texas Cavalry Regiment Mustered into Company F at Houston, TX on September 7, 1861. Elected 4th Sergeant. Received ankle wound during the dismounted skirmish action supporting Ketchum's Battery at Shiloh, TN on April 6, 1862. Promoted to 2nd Sergeant by August 1862. Received a contusion near Mossy Creek, TN on December 28 or 29, 1863. Present and slightly wounded in February 1864. Claiborne indicates he was captured, and subsequently escapted, in 1865. | Culpepper, John Thomas Jefferson (I1350)

| 1113 | Ballard was the "bad twin". Ballard (under the name of Hillard) was married many, many times. 1. Anna Mae Crawford, the sister of my grandfather, Jesse Gray Crawford, who is also the husband of my grandmother, Neola Daugherty (the sister of Ballard). IT GETS COMPLICATED, I KNOW! They had a son, Woodrow Wilson Daugherty. 2. Florence Carroll, who is also a relative in some way. But I'd have to look it up. 3. Elsie Strickland, by whom he had 4 sons. But the only one whose name I know is James. 4. A woman from Chicago. (Sorry. That's all I know.) 5. Wife Five. (Sorry. That's all I know.) According to my mom, this is the right order, but I don't have any proof, because I haven't really worked on this generation yet. Ballard (under the name of Hillard) died April 7, 1979, in Wilson County, North Carolina. According to my mom, again, both Hillard and Ballard were commanders of ships during WW II. | Daugherty, Ballard (I7692)

| 1114 | Barnabas Woolbright first appears in Fairfax Co. Va. in the tax records of 1782. Prior to this, he appears to have lived in Maryland, having immigrated there with his brother, Jacob, from England c1766, but there is no proof of this. It was noted in 1788 County records that he worked his alloted time on roads bordering his plantation in Truro Twp. On 22 Sept 1789, he is recorded as living between William Turner & James Wren, Jr. on the Turnpike road running from the county line to Alexandria. Listed in 1790 Census of Fairfax Co. Va. with household of five. His brother, Jacob, Sr., moved from Fairfax Co., Va. to Wilkes Co. Ga. in 1792 to settle a bounty land grant received for revolutionary war service. Subsequently, in or after 1793, Barnabas moved to Union Co. S. C. to take up farming. He no longer appears in the Fairfax County Tax records after 1791 but is still in the county on 02 Jan 1792 as he and his wife, Elizabeth, and her father, Lewis Saunders, were present to sign with their marks, an indenture transfering a parcel of land from them to Richard Ratcliff. Lewis died probably in Aug 1792. Elizabeth and Barnabas witnessed transfer of the deed from the estate sale of her father; Barnabas by a B, and she by her mark. So they were still in Virginia in late 1792. Barnabas may well have been preceded to Union County by his eldest son, Jacob, and/or cousins, descendants of Samuel, whose spouses appear to have been living in the Union Co. S. C. area, prior to his arrival. Barnaby Woolbright purchased land from Richard Brown in 1794. The transaction was witnessed by his son, Jacob. The land joined that of Henry Good, probably a brother-in-law of Sarah Simpson Good and aunt of Martha Adams. He also acquired 100 acres from Richard Brock on SW side of Broad River, Union Co , S. C. 30 Jan 1795. He was called for jury duty in 1796. The l800 Union Co. Census lists Barnet (!) Woolbright, age 45, with household of six females, one son (Jesse) and a wife between 26-45 (1755/1774). The 1810 Census lists a Bannan(s?) Woolbright with three each male and female children (three daughters having left home ?) and a wife under the age of 45 (1774). The 1820 Census lists a Barnett (!) Woolbright with three sons and three daughters, all about ten years older than the 1810 census and a wife over 45 (1775) [i. e., Martha was born c1774 ]. Obviously these are clerical misspellings of Barnabas' name plus the credentials of these other spellings are essentially those of Barnabas. In addition to the children listed, Barnabas probably had two daughters born about 1774 to 1784. Others were born 1784-1790 , 1794-1800 and 1800-1810 and 1800-1810. Also two sons were born about 1804-1810 for a total of twelve children. The American Genealogical Biography Index lists Barnabas, Jacob and Samuel as being born in Virginia or Pennsylvania in the 175x?. To date, I have found no records in Pennsylvania of any Woolbrights born or living there in colonial times. Nancy Dyer Garred indicated that the Woolbright Family came from Maryland to Virginia, landing in Maryland from England. The S. C. 1830 census has an absence for any Woolbright male names (except for Barney, Barnabas son), Barnaba(s) having died by March1828 as the generally accepted date. He was about 76 at the time of his death, confirming his date of birth as 1752. Elizabeth must have died and he appears to have remarried probably after his arrival in Union Co. According to records filed recording content of his estate, legatees included "his wife and ten other legatees, the wife appears to be Susan". (Two daughters may have died.) Not all are mentioned by name except Betsy, a daughter and wife of Timothy Haney of Jackson, Tn. (Barnabas had several grandchildren in Jackson Co. Tenn., sons of Jesse.) Inventory of the estate was offered to the probate court on 16 April1828 and an estate sale was authorized. Listed as being present at the estate sale included Jesse, Peggy Woolbright* (Margaret ?, probably another one of the unnamed daughters of Barnabas), sons, Bs.(Barneby), Jacob and M. (Mary). On 05 May 1828, after expenses of $272. 65, the estate was residually valued at $202.98. His widow was to receive one third, $67.66, and the rest divided amoung ten legates @ $13. 53 each.(5) Further notations indicates division of threshed grains to Susan Wilbright on 01 Nov 1828 at 75 cents per bu. for eight bushels. On 08 Feb 1830, Timothy & Betsy Hamey appoint George McGipson of Jackson Co. Tenn. as their attorney to receive whatever daughter Betsy is entitled to as an heir of Barnet Woolbright, Dec'd of Union Co. S. C. The estate was finally dispersed in 1831. Since no change in administrative disposition is noted, his widow must still have been living but otherwise remained unnamed. The following is a parital listing of heirs of Jacob Woolbright who was an heir of Barnabas Woolbright; from Anderson Co. S. C.: Mary Austin; Sophia M. Lumpkins, wife of Dickson Lumpkins; Elizabeth Woolbright Hays, wife of Robein (Robins) Hays; and Sally Woolbright Nance. James Nance, brother-in-law, was appointed by the four sisters (Jacob's daughters) to act as their agent to obtain a legacy from estate of Barney Woolbright, deceased (Anderson District court records, 11 Feb 1832). On 12 Feb 1833, there is recorded a dispersal of $4.00 to each of them, from their father Jacob's inheritance from Barnabas. Barnabas' total estate at this time was valued at $50.00. There is a mention of a Mary as Barnabas' wife on LDS Ancestral Library Microfilm with the marriage of Barnett Woolbright and Mary about 1785 and that Ann was born to them in 1803. (Some LDS Ancestral Library records also list Barnabas and Mary as having a daughter, Amy, b.1806,married to John Gee.) The Gee family have determined by independent records that John Gee was married to Ann Woolbright, most probably born in 1803, and that the "Amy" is misreading of hand written versions of Ann, Annie, Amy in record books). However, Barnabas may have had a daughter, or daughter-in-law, named Amy several years younger than Ann, b. 1812. Referred to in Fairfax Co. Va. records variously as Barnabas, Barnaba and Barnaby. His father-in-law, Lewis Saunders, who, in an indenture signed on 12 Aug 1791 and filed with the Fairfax County Court on the twentyth instant, referred to him as BARNABY whom he appointed to act as trustee for certain bequeaths to two of his sons, John and Simon Saunders, whom he judged to be incapable of looking after themselves; as well as in an indenture signed on 02 Jan 1792; as Barnaby in 1795, 1796 Union Co. S. C. court records of land deeds and appointment as a juryman; as Barnet in 1800 Union Co. Census; as Bannan(s) in 1810 census; as Barnett in 1820 census; as BARNABAS in probate court records of his Will and estate transaction but as BARNET on 10 Feb 1830 in a brief filed with the probate court by his daughter Betsey's lawyer, George Mc Gipson, wherein he is appointed to represent her interests in settlement of Barnabas' estate; as Barney, in a brief filed by Jacob's daughters with the Anderson District Court appointing John Nance, Sally's husband, to act on their behalf in regards to any inheritance due them as heirs of Jacob who received a bequeath from his father, Barnabas.

| 1117 | Based on the deed below, it has been suggested that Robert's wife may have been Sarah. However, Sarah is probably not his wife since she was not mentioned in his will. 6 Feb. 1746 -- Deed Bk 14, p 24, Peter Taylor and his wife, Dorcas, of Norfolk County, Va. to Richard Bunting of Norfolk Co. for 25 pounds current money a tract of 50 acres of land on the south side of the Western Branch of the Elizabeth River, in (Newbys or Hubeys) Neck joining the lands of John Joyce and Richard Taylor being the land said Richard Bunting sold to Peter Taylor. Sign. Peter Taylor and Dorcas Taylor (X), wit. Ralph (Fenter), SARAH CULPEPPER (X her mark), Elanor Tart. Transcribed by Clyde T. Colbert It is interesting to note that each of her sons, Robert, Jr., Joseph, and Benjamin, named a son Benjamin. In the case of Joseph and Benjamin, at least, it would appear that they each named their first born son, Benjamin. Various naming conventions were used by different cultures in the South, but in Virginia, first born sons were most often named after a grandfather. (See "Albion's Seed, Four British Folkways in America," by David Hackett Fischer.) So perhaps the father of Robert's wife was named Benjamin. The birth dates of Robert's children are largely speculative, and subject to revision from further research. Perhaps the order in which Robert names his children in his will offers us some guidance as to the order of birth. This writer prefers to use the known or approximate birth dates of children, to estimate the birth date of the parents. The dates one chooses, in either case, are going to be guesses, at best. If our current ancestral theory is correct, then one would hope that all of the male names used in this family, Robert, Joseph, and Benjamin, came from the distaff side of the Culpepper family, in some recent prior generation, as none of these names are Culpepper family names, in the branch of the Culpeppers from which we currently speculate that this line is descended. | LNU (Culpepper), Sarah (I3444)

| 1118 | Basil and Elizabeth initially lived in the Edgefield District of South Carolina until 1812 at which time they moved to Hall County, Georgia. Basil and Elizabeth moved to Bibb County, Alabama in the mid-1820's. They were among the first settlers of Maplesville near Mulberry Creek. Basil and Elizabeth had thirteen children of which three were born in South Carolina, five in Georgia, and five in Bibb (later became Chilton) County, Alabama. The children were: #01: Robert Adolph Woolley - Feb. 19, 1807-1876 married on Nov. 28, 1826 to Mary "Polly" White; #02: Edy Woolley Nov. 25, 1808-Aug. 10, 1810; #03: Jesse Irby Woolley - March 10, 1811-April 06, 1852 married Phoebe H.

| 1119 | Battle Honours - Interesting citation of the ship Culpeper as winning battle honors with the English fleet against the Dutch in at the Battle of Gabbard 2-3 June 1653. I would make this was one of the Culpeper family merchant ships, not a Royal Navy warship. It was probably owned by John the Merchant. John Culpeper, born in 1606, could be the ancestor of most American Culpeppers. And yet little is known about him for certain. Other than this John, and his brother Thomas, there are no known Culpepers with ties to Virginia, old enough to have been the father of the first Henry Culpeper of early Lower Norfolk County, VA. From the research of Fairfax Harrison (see below), we know that although John was trained as a lawyer, he took up the career of a merchant instead, and that he was involved in trade between England and the American colonies. And so hereafter, I'll refer to him as John Culpeper the Merchant. Those who think that John the Merchant was the one who died in 1674 offer various logical reasons why his land might have escheated back to Virginia, even though they think he did indeed leave descendants. Merchants in colonial America left few records which have survived until today, and our knowledge of John Culpeper the Merchant suffers as a result. But from what little we do know, it seems possible that John the Merchant and his sons may have worked as a agents, or "factors" in colonial trade. The following description of this sort of work is excerpted from Perry of London by Jacob M. Price, page 30: "There were hardly any towns in the seventeenth century Chesapeake except the capitals' of Jamestown and St. Mary's City, and they were places of little commercial importance. Early trading ventures to the Chesapeake had often been entrusted to captains and supercargoes who could travel about and seek out business where settlers were to be found. The practice, however, was inefficient in its utilization of ship time and by mid-century had largely yielded to the factor system. The English merchant desiring to trade to the Chesapeake would either by himself or as part of an ad hoc syndicate or adventure' send out an agent, usually known as a factor, who would sell goods and buy tobacco on the account of his principals, the metropolitan merchants, and receive in return a salary or a commission of ten percent (five percent for selling the trading goods and five percent for buying tobacco). The factor normally rented a room from a planter at a place convenient for keeping his goods; most of his time, however, was spent traveling about, meeting planters, arranging sales and purchases, and related details. He might be at his "store" as seldom as ne day a week. Most of the factors appear to have remained in the colony only a few months... or at most a few years. But some settled permanently. As members of this last group accumulated capital of their own, they became the peddlers, country traders and even merchants of the colony...." John Culpeper the Merchant's work may have taken him to Barbados, Virginia, Maryland, New England, and perhaps elsewhere. Much research remains to be done in order to construct a more accurate and complete picture of John's life and activities. The following account of John Culpeper the Merchant is taken from "The Proprietors of the Northern Neck, Chapters of Culpeper Genealogy" by Fairfax Harrison: "He was baptised in Harrietsham, October 26, 1606, as Johannes, filius Johannis Culpeper, arm.;' and on May 7, 1621, was admitted 'specially' to the Middle Temple as Mr. John, second son of John Culpeper of Astwood, Worc. esq.' (Hopwood, ii, 662). He did not pursue the law, but before 1633 had embarked in the Virginia trade, being recorded that year as part owner, with his elder brother, of a new ship, the Thomas and John, which was equipped with ordnance from the public stores in order to voyage to Virginia (Cal. State Papers, Dom., 1633-34, p. 223, and Hotten, Original Lists, p. 83). He was named in his father's will (1635) as 'my son John C.;' on his father's MI. in Hollingbourne as 'Johannem' the third child; and in the will of Sir Alexander as 'my nephew John C. her (i. e., Cicely's) brother.' "His legacy under his father's will was a 'rent charge of £30, payable by Sir John [afterwards first Lord] Culpeper during my said son John's life.' When, in 1651, the Commonwealth was hearing claims upon the forfeited estate of Lord Culpeper, a John C. appeared and, describing himself as a merchant who had been 'beyond seas' during the Troubles, asserted his title to this rent charge, claiming that since 1645 he had received only £75 (Cal. Com. Compounding, 1643-60. v, 3277). That this was John there can be no doubt." . There is some evidence that this John was the father of Henry Culpepper, of Norfolk County, VA. Henry Culpepper appears in records of Lancaster County, VA prior to his arrival in Norfolk County, and a John Culpepper can be placed in Lancaster County about the same time. "Lancaster Co VA Deeds & Wills 1654-1661," Page 173 -- The P:sents Winesseth that I HENRY COLEPEPPER, Planter, in ye County of Lancaster in Virginia doe assigne unto JOHN EDWARDS, Surgeon, in ye same County his heirs or assignes one Cow Cale being brown ye right ear a peice taken out behind & a nick in ye forepart of ye sd ear ye left ear cropt & underkeeled with a nick in ye forepart thereof & do warrant ye sd Calfe from any p:son whatsoever unto him ye sd EDWARDS or his assignes forever, as Witnes my hand this 7th day of December 1658.

Neither John nor Henry Colepeper or Culpeper appear in early Lancaster County, VA tithable records, indicating that they were not being taxed as landowners in Lancaster County, even though Henry, above, was described as a "planter." . "Lancaster Co VA Deeds & Wills 1661-1702," Page 374 -- WHEREAS there was a meeting by the Parishoners of Lancaster Parish & the Parishoners of PIEANKITANCK for to the final ordering of all difference betwixt lhe 2 Pshes: oncerning the bounds of the sd Pshes: and it was then mutually agreed for the time to come that the bounds of thc Pshers: should be & extend according to an Order of the County Court bearing date the 10th day of Sept 1657, Provided the levys due from the LADY LUNSFORDs plantacon & other plantacons for the time past be paid to the use of the sd Lancastr: Psh: & this Agreemt. not to make invallid any Order of Court for the recovery of the sd Levys.

Recognit In Cur 9d Maii 1660 et record xxd p EDWD. DALE, Cl Cur The area of discussion at the above meeting is the part of Lancaster County across the Rappahannock River in what is now Middlesex County. Middlesex County was originally part of Lancaster County. The Pianketank River divides present Middlesex County from Mathews County. Middlesex County has excellent records, including the Christ Church Parish records, which should be checked. Also, a John and Henry were traveling on the same ship in 1664: "The Complete Book of Emigrants 1661-1699," by Peter Wilson Coldham, page 64, the year 1664: "10 May - 30 June. Shippers by the Defence, Mr. John Webber, bound from London for New England: Benjamin Hewling, John Newell, Humphrey Hodges, Thomas Parris, James Fassett, John Fullerton, Sir William Peake, Robert Davies, Robert Knight, John Winder, HENRY CULPEPPER, JOHN CULPEPPER. (PRO: E190/50/1, 50/2) From Bill Rusell, May 2000, comes the following useful summary of John Culpeper, the Merchant: First, John was clearly a ship owner with business interests throughtout the colonies. He had been away from England for some time when he returned to protect his brothers estate in 1651. Their interests were probably more entangled than just their common ownership of the _Thomas and John_. It would appear that they may have owned a trading company with points of presence in England, Barbados, New England, and Virginia. Indeed, John probably had sons or sons-in-law in those places to carry out their trading business. I suspect that Hannah who married Edward Frisbie and Susannah who married Francis Lindley were both daughters. Edward Frisbie was from another prominent merchant trading family in Norfolk County, VA and removed to New England. Francis Lindley ended up in New Jersey after having lived in New England. I also believe the John Culpeper "the Carolina Rebel" was a son of John the merchant. Second, John the Merchant was also John the lawyer, a fact we sometimes overlook and which may go some ways to unraveling some of the confusion over the various Johns. John the merchant was at the Middle Temple as was his brother Thomas. More importantly, he was there at the same time as Gov. Sir William Berkeley. I believe that it was John the merchant who represented the legal interests of Frances Culpeper Stephens Berkeley before the courts in North Carolina and who attested to Berkeley's signature on the deed to Roanoke Island in New England. Who better to entrust to such a job than the Governor's wife's uncle, a lawyer who ownd a ship able to travle to North Carolina and New England on short notice and who personally knew the Governor. He makes a more logical candidate for the job than the relative young "Carolina Rebel" who had no legal training and may not have even reached North Carolina by the time in question. Third, John the merchant had known trading interests and presence in New England and Barbados. Charleston, SC was settled originally by groups from both places and it is possible the John the Rebel was his father's representative in those areas. Culpeper's Rebellion in North Carolina - really Albemarle -, was fomented by New England merchant traders. If John the merchant handled the sale of Roanoke Island for Governor Berkeley, it is clear that the Lamb family who purchased it were friends of Sarah Mayo, John the Rebel's wife. From the records it would appear that John the Rebel arrived in Albemarle after the John Culpeper who was in court in the sale of the property, yet the later buyers were well familiar with John the Rebel's family. The Lamb family who bought Roanoke Island were also New England merchant traders who mainained a family presence in the Albemarle region of North Carolina. . | Culpeper, John (I3598)

| 1122 | Before 1783 Dickson County was a part of the "Cumberland country"..that just means an area west of the mountains. In 1783 the county of Davidson was created by an act of the North Carolina legislature, and Dickson County was a part of that subdivision. Three years later the northeastern part of Davidson had grown enough to become a county within itself and the general assembly of North Carolina created Sumner County for it. Two years later in 1788, the legislature carved another division from Davidson, giving it the name of Tennessee County. Clarksville was designated the county seat. This area included all of the territory inside of Dickson, Montgomery, Robertson, Houston as well as parts of Hickman, Humphreys and Stewart. In the following year North Carolina ceded her western lands to the Federal Government, and the Territory South of the Ohio was established to include all of the Tennessee Counties. A territorial government was organized and by 1795. To be admitted to the union as a separate state, a population of 60,000 people had to inhabit the region. The territory legislature authorized a census and the population was found to be 67,000 Whites and over 10,000 Negros. Because of Middle Tennessee's fear of East Tennessee's dominance an election was held to determine whether the people of the entire territory favored immediate admission. Over 2,500 people voted against it. Tennessee County, of which Dickson was a part (with a population of 1,941 voted 231 to 58 against immediate admission. East Tennessee heavily favored immediate admission to statehood. Despite Federalist opposition in the nation's capital, Tennessee in 1796 became the 16th state of the union. In that year, a constitutional convention was called and was held in Knoxville. Five representatives attended from Tennessee County. During that time, Tennessee county was abolished and the area became Robertson and Montgomery. Dickson remained a part of these local units of government until it was created by state legislature in 1803. The Legislature of 1803 convened, and was acted upon passing a bill on October 25, 1803, creating DICKSON COUNTY. The county was named for William DICKSON, a Nashville physician and statesman who served in Congress at that time. Although DICKSON never lived in the county named for him, his cousin Molton DICKSON and other relatives played roles in its early development. The legislature of 1803 also named the first county court and set the convening date for the first session Monday, February 1804. IT was held at the home of Robert NESBITT on Barton's Creek. But, because the roads were in such poor condition due to the weather, the meeting was officially on March 19th as a two day session. 1820 Census Dickson Co., TN Hand, William with 1 male under 10 (Jacob), 1 male 26 - 45 (William); 3 females under 10 (Mary P., Delilah, and Martha J.), 1 female 26-45 (Wife). 1830 Census Dickson Co., TN Genealogy.com Roll #174, Bk 1, Pg 343a Image 23: Hand William 1 m 5-10 (Jacob), 1 m 10 - 15 (?), 1 m 40 - 50 (William), 1 f 5 - 10 (Martha J.), 1 f 10 - 15 (Delilah), 1 f 15 - 20 (Mary Polly).

| 1123 | Benjamin Culpepper Jr.'s life history has not yet been accurately or fully pieced together. This Benjamin might just as easily have been the son of Benjamin Culpepper, Sr., Joseph's brother. For the moment, based partly on naming conventions used by the two younger Bens, this one is assumed to have been the son of Joseph, and the following discussion is based on this assumption. See also the discussion of the Fishing Creek deeds in the Theories Section of this web site, for further details. Our current thoughts on him follow, but these could easily change as new information comes to light. It would appear that Benjamin was born either in Norfolk County, VA, or in early Bertie Precinct, NC, in the early 1720's. He moved with his family to Edgecombe County, NC, in the late 1730's. He married his wife, Lydia, there, in the early 1740's. When his father Joseph died intestate in 1745, he inherited one, and possibly two tracts of land as Joseph's eldest son, by right of primogeniture. He may have lived on one tract, on Swift / Sandy Creek. And his mother Martha lived on the other Fishing Creek tract until she remarried around 1751, to Benjamin Dumas, and moved with Dumas to Anson County, NC. After his mother's re-marriage, Benjamin then sold the Fishing Creek tract to his first cousin, Benjamin Culpepper (ferryman), in 1752. And by 1754, he had decided to move on, and so sold the tract on which he then lived on Sandy Creek to Thomas Davis. Here the record on Benjamin Jr. becomes murky for about 13 years, until 1767, when his eldest son Joseph Culpepper first appears in records in South Carolina. So it seems likely that Benjamin moved to South Carolina around 1754, probably with one or more of his wife's relatives. Where he settled has not been discovered. And he must have died there prior to 1771, when his widow Lydia received a grant as "the widow Culpepper." That this Benjamin was the son of Joseph is based on the interpretation of two deeds involving Joseph's Fishing Creek property. In 1741, Joseph sold one-half of his Fishing Creek property to Benjamin Culpepper. This was probably Benjamin his brother. Joseph also had a son named Benjamin, but analysis shows that he did not sell the land to his own son. By 1746 both brothers were deceased, and their two sons, both named Benjamin, were each in possession of one half of Joseph's original 320 farm on Fishing Creek. Although it is impossible to tell, due to the poor wording of the 1741 deed, the current analysis presumes that Joseph's son Ben inherited the WEST half of the property by right of primogeniture, and Benjamin's son Ben owned the EAST half by right of primogeniture. In 1752, Benjamin (son of Joseph) sold the WEST half to his older cousin, Benjamin, ferryman, son of Benjamin. See the footnote for a detailed look at these land transactions. Since after 1746, there were only two Benjamin Culpeppers in early Edgecombe, it would be useful if we could distinguish them, by the way they signed deeds. Unfortunately, this is not the case. The surviving deed books in early Edgecombe are later copies of the original deeds, so the original marks from the original deeds have not survived. In all cases in which a Benjamin sold land or witnessed a deed, the "B" mark was apparently used, and except for Benjamin's will in 1767, the original mark itself has not survived. By 1752, and perhaps as early as 1743 Benjamin Culpepper (son of Joseph) was living on a 300 acre farm on Sandy Creek, in Granville Co., NC. This was about nine or ten miles northeast of his first cousin Benjamin's land on Peach Tree Creek, considerably closer to his cousin Benjamin, and to Peach Tree Creek, than was his old Fishing Creek land. This writer speculates that this may have been the same 300 acres on Swift Creek, which Benjamin's father Joseph may been granted as early as 1743. Land Grants, Vol. 1, page 59, NC Archives, Raleigh, 27 February 1743, Joseph Culpepper enters 300 acres in Edgecombe County, on the north side of Swift Creek....and RUNS ACROSS THE CREEK; includes his improvements; made out; paid: rights returned. The entry has survived, but not the actual grant. In 1754, Benjamin Culpepper Jr., sold the 300 acres on Sandy Creek in Granville Co., NC "where I now live" to Thomas Davis. (Granville Co. Deed Bk. B, p. 391-2) Witnesses were Lewis Davis, Moses Harris, and Samuel Chaivis. Benjamin signed this deed with a 'C.' This land was described as "beginning on the north side of the said [Sandy] Creek at a Road Oak running thence along a line to a corner tree a Road Oak thence along a line CROSSING THE CREEK to a White Oak a corner tree of the south side of said creek thence along a line to a corner tree a White Oak thence along a line CROSSING THE CREEK to the first station it being the plantation whereon I now live." That Benjamin's 300 acres on Sandy Creek was the same land as Joseph's 1743 land entry on Swift Creek is speculation. But note that Sandy Creek becomes Swift Creek at Hilliardston community in present day Nash County (according to "The North Carolina Gazeteer" by Wm. S. Powell). And this could have been about the point where this land was situated. And this was also near the boundary between what was then Edgecombe and Granville Counties. So the land entry might have mentioned Edgecombe, and the later sale, Granville, as the location. Also, note that both the land entry, and the later sale, mention that the land was on both sides of the creek. So this unusual feature of the property is found in both documents. Further, assuming the land entry became a grant to Joseph, there is no further mention of the sale of the land by his estate. Likewise, there is no other mention of Benjamin buying his Sandy Creek land. So by assuming that these two records refer to the same property, one has a complete history of its purchase and later sale. And if this is correct, then it strengthens the idea that this Benjamin was the son of Joseph, as he would have inherited this land from Joseph by right of primogeniture, just as he apparently inherited the west half of the Fishing Creek property. An anomaly, which remains to be explained, is that this Benjamin apparently signed his sale of land in Edgecombe with a 'B' and yet signed this sale of land in Granville with a 'C'. Was the 'B' in the Edgecombe sale an error by the copyist? Since the surviving deeds in Edgecombe are copies, not originals, it would be hard to speculate. There is no further record of this Benjamin. He seems to have moved in the direction of, if not to, Richland or Camden District, SC, where records have been lost. No surviving records on Benjamin in South Carolina have been found. Research on his wife and her family might eventually provide additional clues. Since Benjamin did not follow the migration path of his siblings, chances are, he was migrating with his wife's family, and not with his own. Perhaps she was related to the John Griffin, who was an adjacent land owner to Joseph Culpepper in early Northampton County, and who may have been the same John Griffin who lived next to Benjamin's widow Lydia in early South Carolina. | Culpepper, Benjamine (I3287)

| 1124 | Benjamin was born at Lawnes Creek Parish in Surry County, Virginia. His family returned to Isle of Wight County in 1715 and lived south of Blackwater, near Ivor (now in Southampton County, Virginia). Soon after 1739 he bought land near Pendleton in Bertie County (now Northampton County), North Carolina. Sometime in the mid to late 1750s Benjamin sold his land and moved to Craven County, South Carolina. In 1769 he was among militiamen from Craven County who took part in a campaign under Colonel George Gabriel Powell against the Cherokee. Later in 1769 Benjamin with his family and over a hundred slaves moved into the Watauga territory that later became Sullivan County, Tennessee. He owned 600 acres on Knob Creek and another 600 acres on the south side of the Watauga River. He was a member of the Washington County Grand Jury on August 27, 1788. Benjamin died sometime after 1793. His children were Pharoah, William and Mary. (Source: http://64.235.34.221/rosehill/gencobb.htm) | Cobb, Benjamin (I7893)

| 1132 | BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF P. L. COBB By Cora Crosby Cobb Pharaoh Lee Cobb was born March 3, 1866, in St. Clair, Tennessee, a small village in Hawkins County. It was a rural community with no great fame to boast of, but its values were sound. Its citizens knew the importance of an education and supported an Academy whose teachers imparted high ideals to the boys and girls. St. Clair Academy had been built in 1873 by Mr. Cobb's father and other men in the community. The respect for education instilled in the younger generation became evident when Mr. Cobb assumed his first job at the age of sixteen-a teacher in Greene County. This job was followed by other teaching jobs in Hawkins County. After teaching in the County schools, he was elected Superintendent of Schools in Hawkins County, served two years, and then went to Emory and Henry College for one year. He taught a year in the Morristown High School, was elected Principal of City Schools, but then went to the University of Tennessee as assistant to the University's Dean, T. W. Jordan, in the Latin Department. He took the B.A. degree in 1892 and was asked to remain at the University to teach; but as the call to preach had long been in his heart, he joined the Holston Conference of The Methodist Church and was assigned to a "shoe string circuit" of five churches at Pulaski, Virginia. These were fruitful years for him. He was in twenty-four revival meetings where 1,900 people professed conversion. He then went to the Vanderbilt Theological Department. During these years he served as pastor of the New Shops Church and after that as Chaplain of the State Penitentiary. On graduation, Mr. Cobb joined the staff of the Board of Missions as assistant to Dr. W. R. Lambuth, later Bishop Lambuth. His main assignments were to the work of the young people of the Epworth Leagues and Sunday Schools. During the development of the missionary interest among the young people, a plan of procedure was inaugurated in the Holston Conference that came to be known as "The Holston Plan." Due to his wide experience as Secretary of Young People's Work and to his position as Secretary of the Board of Missions in the conference, Mr. Cobb was able to render a large service in developing this Plan and in carrying its spirit into other conferences. In three years, through the efforts of the Epworth Leagues, the Presiding Elders, and the leaders and pastors of the Conference, the payment on the Missionary Assessment was raised from forty-two percent to one hundred percent. Under this Plan, Holston thus became the first conference in the Church to pay its Missionary Assessment in full. Honor has always been given to the courageous men whose efforts brought about this great success. From Holston the Plan was extended to other Districts and Conferences and became the beginning of a great advance in the Missionary interest of the general Church. Other Presiding Elders throughout the Church became interested in paying their Missionary Assessments in full. The first to succeed was Dr. W. F. McMurray of Missouri. The next year three Districts paid in full, among them the Chattanooga District, with Dr. Frank Richardson as Presiding Elder. In a short time sixty Districts had reached that goal, and the entire Church had felt the influence of this new movement. In 1900 Mr. Cobb was married to Miss Cora Nell Crosby of Boston, and in 1902, with an infant son, they took an appointment to the American work in Monterrey, Mexico, and later in Mexico City. These were for the Cobbs rich, happy years which colored all the rest of their ministry with a keen missionary interest. After returning to the States in 1907, Mr. Cobb held the following appointments: Bramwell.WV, 1907-1911 Highland Park, Chattanooga, TN, 1911-1915 Knoxville, TN, District Presiding Elder, 1915-1919 Morristown, TN, 1919-1920 Secretary of the Missionary Centenary and Christian Education Movement, in Nashville, 1920-1926 Clinton, TN, 1926-1928 Big Stone Gap, VA, District Presiding Elder, 1928-1932 Galax,VA, 1932-1936 Ridgedale, Chattanooga, 1936-1940 South Pittsburg, TN, 1940-1942, where he was retired Sequatchie, TN, Circuit, 1942-1945, served as Supply Preacher Hixson, TN, 1945-1947, served as Supply Preacher Daisy, TN, 1947-1950, served as Supply Preacher In 1951 he and his wife of fifty-one years moved to Nashville to retire a second time, but he continued to serve informally for several years as a visiting pastor while a member of Hobson Church in East Nashville. Of this list of appointments, all were important, but three were outstanding in their results: First, while in the Knoxville District during the years of the Missionary Centenary, Mr. Cobb's experience with the board of Missions resulted in the District's being given a quota of $60,000, which was $10,000 more than the quota of any other District. By the thorough organization of forces, even in the smallest churches, the District pledged $96,000. Second, as a result of this leadership he was called to Nashville in 1920 to administer the Spiritual Life Department of the Christian Education and Centenary Movements and did a successful, constructive piece of work. He published a booklet of daily devotional messages for use in the home called Keep the Home Fires Burning, which might well have been a suggestion for the later publication The Upper Room. He also assisted Dr. Crawford in the development of a pamphlet called "Official Board No. I." After two years at Clinton, Tennessee, where the present building was erected, and where the daughter, Margaret, suffered her serious automobile accident, Mr. Cobb was placed on the Big Stone Gap, Virginia, District, his third outstanding appointment. The contribution made here was in the general upbuilding of all the interests of the Church among the fine rural people of the region. During the fourth and last year on the District, nearly 1,800 people were received into the churches, which, according to Curtis Haley, Editor of "The General Minutes," was the largest number received in any District in the Church. A close second was the Abingdon District, with Dr. E. E. Wiley, Presiding Elder, and the third was the Hickory District in western North Carolina. A result of the intensive work in the Church Schools along educational lines was the giving of 859 credits in Standard Training Schools. The presiding Bishop, Dr. Ainsworth, said Mr. Cobb's report was the best he had ever received from any District. A personal interest in Mr. Cobb's life during these years of traveling was a knowledge and appreciation, through definite study, of birds and flowers. By the time he was fifty years old, he knew nearly all of the species of the flowers and birds of the East Tennessee region and found great pleasure in them. The years following Big Stone Gap were spent in successful pastorates until his retirement at South Pittsburg in 1942, at the age of 76 years. He then continued to serve as a "Supply Preacher" among rural people in the Chattanooga District for another nine years. Finally, after his "second retirement," in 1951, he served as a visiting minister at Hobson in Nashville until 1955. During the years, Mrs. Cobb has served 13 years as President of the Holston Conference Woman's Missionary organizations and four years as Secretary of Young People's work in the national woman's work.

| 1134 | Birmingham, Ala. Directories ... 1888-90 records: Ebzan Love living at "r Avenue I between 17th and 18th in year 1890 ... occupation blacksmith". Sarah E. was his second wife and is buried beside him in Oak Hill Cemetery in Lot 7 north half, Block 32. His headstone is three concrete steps with "E. Love Sr." engraved on one step, Sarah has a regular stone with her birthdate, birthplace, death date and "Wife of E. Love Sr". I am told by my aunt Carolyn that there is a book on the Early History of Birmingham, AL, which has a photo of Ebzan Sr, standing in front of his Blacksmith Shop. Ebzan Jr's death certificate gives his mother's name as "Sarah". Emma died in childbirth with Edwin, I believe. Because he was so young, Ebzan Jr. would have only known Sarah as his mother. His biological mother was in fact, Emma Bailey. (MCM - 2003) | Love, Samuel Ebzan Sr. (I9008)

| 1140 | Born at Menstrie Castle, Clackmannanshire. Alexander moved to London, becoming knighted in 1609. He was Secretary of State for Scotland from 1626 until his death, and remained a firm Royalist, which naturally made him unpopular in Scotland. He was created Viscount of Stirling and Lord Alexander of Tullibody in 1630, Earl of Stirling, Viscount of Canada, and Lord Alexander of Tullibody (again) in 1633. He wrote several tragedies, including one entitled Julius Caesar, in 1607. He died bankrupt in London on 12 February 1640. Menstrie Castle still survives. | Alexander, William II (I1587)

"This indenture made ye 20th day of October in ye year of our Lord Seventeen Hundred and Thirteen between John Rasberry of Chowan Precinct in the County of Albermarle in ye Province of No. Carolina & Bridget Rasberry his wife of the one part and Andrew Barrow of ye Provice aforesaid a planter on the other part witnesseth ye the said Jno.

Rasberry & Bridget his wife hath hereunto set their hands & affix their seals ye day and year above written. Signed sealed & delivered Testes George Smith Arthur Dugal his John Rasberry mark Bridget Rasberry John's mark on this record is identical to the mark on the preceding one, so John Senior "Govenor of North Carolina" and this John are one and the same; i.e., John (No.5). He is married and his wife's name is Bridget. Bridget is an Irish name. Little has been found to indicate our Bridget's last name but, we should note that some members of the wealthy and influential Pollock family had migrated from Ulster to North Carolina before 1710. Too, Joseph West sailed with a fleet to Carolina in 1669, stopping on his way at Kinsale, Ireland to add a few more people to his colonists. This record immediately raises two questions: 1. Where did John get this 635 acres of land, and 2. Why was it necessary for his wife Bridget to sign this record. There is no previous record of John being granted or buying this land. So, it is only logical to think it belonged to Bridget. (Source: August 29, 1988 Edna Monette Rasberry Burtis) | Browne, Bridget (I9058)

| 1144 | Brother to Alexander, Jeremiah Cobb was the only known sibling to remain in the Edgefield District of South Carolina through both the move to Abbeville, South Carolina and then to the Alabama Territory. Family lore does say that not much is known regarding his death between 1840 and 1850, but he may have finally been on the move west when he died. Jeremiah is thought to have been born about 1774, but he was not old enough to be on the census records that would have helped pinpoint his age, the age being approximated from the 1800 census. He married Elizabeth Corley, daughter of Catlett Corley and Susannah Jennings (researchers, please note there were two Catlett Corleys about the same age, both living in the same area). They married in Edgefield, South Carolina before 1800 when they appeared on the census record with one young son, living not far from Elizabeth's parents. By 1810 they lived next door to the Corleys. There are not many records available for this Jeremiah Cobb (please note that there were quite a few different Jeremiah Cobbs alive in this time period). He and Elizabeth were reported to have the following children, most of which migrated to Mississippi by 1850, along with their mother, Elizabeth. There was obviously a few years spent in Alabama on the way, as census records show some of Jeremiah's grandchildren were born there. William b. abt. 1800 as he showed up on that census record Martha Jane abt. 1803 Rebecca abt. 1805 Amanda abt. 1807 Sara abt. 1808 died before 1810 (could be correct, only 3 dau. listed in 1810 census) Elizabeth abt. 1811* Mary abt. 1811* Alexander 1810 1820 Isaac Washington 1812 James A. 1816 1820 N. A. (a female) abt. 1820 (all that is known as her named appeared on a marriage certificate on July 16, 1861 to a F. G. Freeman and I think this is not a child of Jeremiah's) Daniel Davenport b. 1826 One researcher added a John S. to the list, but he may be the son of a George Cobb; and another said they were not sure about the James A., he might have been confused with James Andrew, the son of Daniel D. Of that list, I have seen more on William, Isaac Washington, Daniel Davenport, Rebecca, Amanda, Elizabeth and Mary, and gotten some better dates.
