1401 Her marriage record filed at the Register of Deeds reads:
"License issued 29 Nov 1872 for Herbert A. Stowe, age 22, of
Mecklenburg County, son of Herbert and Martha Stowe of Mecklenburg
(father - dead, mother - dead) to Maggie A. Knox, age 24 of
Mecklenburg, daughter of S. B. & Ann Knox of Mecklenburg (father and
mother living……which is not correct. S. B. died in 1868) married 3
December 1872 at the residence of Sam'l B. Knox in Steele Creek by J.
C. Chalmers, Min. AR Presby Church."

They lived in Gaston County and therefore little is known of them.
They did have children but their names are not known. 
Knox, Margaret Ann (I3664)
 
1402 Her marriage record in Mecklenburg County reads, "Elias J. Garrison,
age 30 of Mecklenburg County, son of J. A. & R. Garrison of South
Carolina (father-living, mother-dead) married to Ruth E. Knox, age 30
of Mecklenburg County, daughter of S. B. & Ann Knox of Mecklenburg.
(father-dead, mother-living) married on 19 April 1876 at Mrs. Ann Knox
in Steele Creek by John Douglas, min. Witnesses were: W. A. Wilson, H.
A. Stowe and Thomas J. Simeril of Mecklenburg County."

This was a second marriage for Elias Garrison. He married 1st to
Hannah Catherine Youngblood, daughter of Richard Calvin Youngblood and
Nancy Hannah Lessley on December 26, 1867. There was one child, Hanna
D. Garrison, d. October 3, 1874 at the age of 1 year, 7 months and 12
days. Hannah Catherine died February 28, 1874. It is thought by this
writer, that she died in childbirth and the baby was born dead. (Taken
from this writer's research on the Youngblood family).
 
Knox, Ruth Eliza (I3659)
 
1403 Here is a start, obviously the Martha on the 1850 is the new wife, so
Elizabeth died before 1850. I had not gone further on the paper trail
so did not know this. (Barbara Rowe)

1405 Hi Hal,
I am doing a little research on James Monroe Glass, son of Calvin and Martha, and I noticed you are the only one that posted anything about him on Ancestry. Since I have added a little to what you posted, I thought you might like the info. It is hard to keep him straight from Anderson's son, James M. Glasscock/Glass, isn't it.
Started doing this because we found out that James Monroe Glasscock, later known as James Monroe Glass, is buried at Mt. Hope Cemetery, where we placed the memorial stone for Alexander and Ruth. I am copying to Martha, so she will have it for her files, also.
When we were up at the cemetery a few weeks ago, a very nice 90 year old gentleman stopped by to thank us for cleaning the place where his grandfather is buried.It is an unmarked grave, and he only knew the general area, so not sure whether we will be able to mark the grave, but I wanted to collect the info on the chance that we might.
Mr. Glass told us the family story that James had ridden a horse all the way to Waco, TX to claim his bride, a Miss Mary Ann Shannon, married her and brought her back by horse and buggy to AL. He said they had tried to find out about the Shannon family, but never had any luck. I have found Mary with James on the 1900, 1910, and alone on the 1920 census records. I am sure it is them, as Mr. Glass said Mary had a sister, Metha, this couple has a daughter by that name. On the census records, Mary gives her middle initial as G. and J., so I am unsure about the Mary Ann part. Also, this Mr. Glass was adamant that he was not related to Carl Glass, that we already know is a descendant of Anderson Glasscock/Glass, so that makes the J. M. at Mt. Hope Calvin's son.

1900 Mineral Springs, Chilton, AL
Glasscock, James born Oct. 1869
Mary G. born Nov. 1870 b. TN/Ark/AL
Collie W. April 1891 (later WWI Draft records show that to be Collie Washington Glass, April 8, 1888 - Jan. 1965)
James B. Dec. 1893
Meatha E. May 1896
Dora A. Feb. 1900

1910 Birmingham, Jefferson County, AL
Glass, Jas married at age 21 and is a carpenter
Mary J. has had 6 children all still living AL/Ark/AL
Collie 19 is a barber
Jas Jr. 16 is a painter
Metha 13
Dora 8
Ethel 6
Orrie 2 (on this census given as a daughter, next one says is a son Ira)

Obviously James died between 1914 and 1920 because Mary is HH on the 1920 census

1920 Jemison, Chilton County, AL (census done on 3rd of Jan)
Glass, Mary wdw age hard to read looks to be 57 which can't be right, should be about 50 AL/AL/AL
Ethel dau age 15
Ira son 13
Walter son 8
Virgal son 6

With the Alabama death records, I noted that Collie had a son Collie E. born Jul 2, 1913 died August 1981. I did not try to trace the family further down, since it is a collateral line, but thought I would add that note in case it was of interest to you. I know Collie appears on the 1930 census with his family, I did not look for him on the 1920, but his draft record in 1917 said he was married with 2 children.
Hope this is useful for your files.

Glascock, James Monroe (I8387)
 
1406 High King from 501 - 506. Of Dalriada, Domangart (I5735)
 
1407 His birthdate is gotten from the pension roll, or census of pensions,
at Raleigh, NC.

(From Peggy Bruckner - 09-02-09)
I may have already related my recent day trip to Oglethorpe County, GA (45 minutes from my home...) where I found 11 years of Benjamin Knox's untranscribed Estate papers (May 1805- Jan 1816) in the Court House "vault. " These, plus deeds/court minutes/marriage bond, provide proof that this Benjamin Knox was married twice (1) Jemima and (2) Winifried (not Rebecca) Simmons -- and produced 11 children! Winnie, his widow, subsequently married Andrew Bell (of Rowan), left Georgia and took Benjamin's minor children to Hopkins Co, KY, where they are found in court minutes in 1807...

There are also many records for Absalom Knox Sr in Oglethorpe. It appears he died 1787 in Wilkes Co (part that became Oglethorpe in 1793), but his estate was not settled until after 1803...when deeds in both Oglethorpe and Iredell document the partition of his land among his surviving heirs.

So, I can now produce hard evidence that William, Absalom Sr, Benjamin, Samuel, Joseph were brothers. Jeane's LWT also shows that "a" James Knox was also her son (but he was older than Benjamin b. NLT 1751, and therefore cannot be Captain James Knox b 1752, the grandfather of Polk). 
Knox, Benjamin (I3514)
 
1408 His lineage connects with that of his older brother as shown below. He
married Verica. They had a son, Childeric I, 436-561, King of France,
who married Basina of Thuringia. Their son was Clovis the Great,
465-511, King of France, who married St. Clothilde. They had a son,
Clothaire I, 497-561, King of France, who married Ingonde. From this
marriage there a daughter, Blithildes, who married Ausbert of Moselle,
died in 570. See below. 
Of France, Merovee (I3145)
 
1409 Historic Latta Plantation is 12 miles northwest of Charlotte, NC.:
Traveling north on I-77:
Take Exit 16B, Sunset Road West. Follow Sunset Rd. West until the second light and turn right onto Beatties Ford road. Proceed north for 4.8 miles until you reach Sample Road (directly across from Hopewell Presbyterian Church). Turn left on Sample Road. Continue on this road, through the park until you reach the back of the park. Latta Plantation is on your right.
Traveling south on I-77:
Take Exit 23, Huntersville. Turn right off the exit to Gilead Road. Take the third left, McCoy Road. At the stop sign, turn right on Beatties Ford Road. Turn left onto Sample Road. Stay on Sample Road until you reach the back of Latta Plantation Park. The plantation house itself is on your right.

1799 - 1841
The Lattas owned the property and expanded it into a plantation.
In 1799, James Latta purchased Moses Hayes' 100 acres containing a log cabin. In 1800, he built the Federal style home that is now known as Latta Plantation. Latta made additional purchases of adjoining lands in 1800, 1813, 1816, and 1817, eventually owning more than 700 acres, much of which was planted in cotton.
Latta was a slave owner. He owned two slaves in 1800 and, at the height of his plantation's prosperity, owned 23 adults and 11 children. These Latta slaves contributed greatly to the success of the plantation.
In addition to raising cotton, the crops and livestock required to support the plantation community was actually produced on the property. Latta also had a mill, quarry, and part interest in a fishery called Penney's.
After Latta's death in 1837 at 82 years of age, his widow Jane (Jane's gingerbread recipe) remained at the plantation until 1839 when she moved to a small house across from one of her son-in-laws and his children.

1411 Hopothla means "Crazy War Hunter".

The Muscogees- we call them Creeks to identify them from other Native groups of the area -- the Southeastern United States -- the Cherokee, Chickasaw, and Choctaw-- were really a group of tribes. Kashitas, Koasati, Yammassee, Tuckabatchee, Coosa, Coweta, Alibamo are some tribes associated with Creeks. They mainly lived along waterways of (now) Alabama and Georgia, in villages connected by paths-- trading paths. And threaded among the trading paths were hunting paths. Crisscrossing the trading and hunting paths were war paths. A telling pattern.

Menewa's (1765 - 1843) boyhood name was Yoholo; the name given to him
by his father was Othlepoya Yoholo. When the Creeks chose him as chief
in 1820, he became known as Menewa. On April 26, 1826, he was chosen
as the principle chief of the Creek Indian tribes. (This information
is from a letter written by Mary Ann Campbell Peigh of Bessemer,
Alabama, on December 28, 1970, to her uncle, Joshua Banks Campbell.)
Menewa married Hannah Cornell, also a Creek. They had two children,
Katee Ann (1786 - 1865) and Little Warrior (1785 - 181?). Katee Ann
married Reuben Weed (Creek, ? - 1814; died in Battle of Horseshoe
Bend), and they had Katee (1804 - 1890), Hannah (died 1880), and
Charity Yoholo (died 1872). Charity, Menewa's grandaughter, married
Robert David Campbell (1767 - 1835), and they had twins Asa and
Nathan, and two girls and another son who seem to have disappeared
with their mother. Asa and Nace were raised by their father's brother,
Calvin, upon their father's death. (Source: Amanda Givens. Ancestry

(Note: His name given by his peers was "Hopothla". His parents are not known. MCM-2005)

In 1835 he sent his oldest son to serve against the Seminoles in Florida.

Lists the lineage of John Lee, father of Thomas Lee, and Sarah (Sally)
Lee.

The will of John Lee Senr.was recorded in Charlotte Co., VA, 4 Feb 1805, WB 2:298 Click to view the full will.

Comments on the will:

Some wills list children by order of birth. The John Lee Senr will seems to follow an order of business.
It is clear there are nine (9) heirs/divisions.
Identified in the will as a son or a daughter:
Thomas Lee
William Lee
Sally Crenshaw
Named in the will, but not identified in the will as a son or a daughter:
Jane Pearson—marriage bond identifies her father, John Lee
Polly Almond—marriage bond identifies her father, John Lee
John Lee jr—the "jr" is indicative of a son
Edward Lee—land records verify relationship
Joseph Lee—
Henderson Lee—this devisee has frequently been incorrectly identified as a son. Indications are that Henderson Lee was not a son, but the only child of deceased son Ambrose Lee - thus, allotment to [grandson] Henderson Lee was one full child's (1/9th) portion of the estate. In other words, no relationship stated did not necessarily mean the individual named was or was not a son or daughter.

1416 HUGUENOTS is the name given to the French Protestants of the 16th and
17th centuries.
The ideas of the Reformation took hold in France in the 1520s and
rapidly gained a large following. This popularity of Protestantism
aroused the enmity of the Roman Catholic Church and the Huguenots were
persecuted. This persecution created a flow of refugees from France
for over 150 years (mostly to England, Germany, Switzerland, the
Netherlands, and subsequently to North America and South Africa).
During the course of the 1500s and 1600s, a beautiful and symbolic
cross was designed and worn by Huguenots as a means of recognizing one
another. Whether this was intended to be a secret sign to thwart
Catholic persecutors is not know.
The Huguenot cross was designed and first manufactured by a certain
Mystre of Nîmes in 1688. It has as its predecessor the badge of the
Hospitaler Knights of St John of Jerusalem also known as the Knights
of Malta, a religious and Crusader order founded in Jerusalem in the
7th century AD. In 1308 they occupied the island of Rhodes after the
collapse of the Crusader states, and in 1530 formed the order of the
Knights of Malta after Rhodes was surrendered to the Ottoman Turks.
They lived for 4 centuries on the island of Malta, hence the name
Maltese Cross for the central part. (The Maltese Cross is generally
associated with fire and is the symbol of protection of fire fighters
in many countries).
Other predecessors of the Huguenot Cross include the so-called
Languedoc Cross, and the order decoration of the Order of the Holy
Spirit which Henry III established on December 31st, 1578."
(Source:www.roquemore-ancestry.com/ sitemap.htm)

Of all the French Huguenot communities established in the America
colonies, this church, located at Church and Queen Streets, is the
only surviving institution which has kept the Huguenot religious
heritage alive.
The current church building, completed in 1845, was designed by the
area-renowned architect Edward White (1806 - 1882). It survived the
Civil War with some shellfire damage, but was nearly demolished in the
1886 earthquake. Fortunately, Mr. Charles Lanier, a New York
Huguenot, supplied funds for the Church's restoration.
It was in this church that the Huguenot Society of South Carolina,
composed of Huguenot descendents, was organized in 1885.

There is an annual spring service (usually on the last Sunday of
March) using the old French liturgy. As an example, the following is
The Lord's Prayer, as the Huguenots recited it:

"Notre Père qui es aux cieux,
que ton nom soit sanctifié.
Que ton règne vienne;
Que ta volonté soit faite, sur la terre comme au ciel.
Donne-nous aujourd'hui notre pain quotidien.
Pardonne-nous nos offenses, comme nous pardonnons à ceux qui nous ont
offensés.
Et ne nous induis pas en tentation,
Mais délivre nous du mal.
Car c'est à toi qu'appartiennent, dans tous les siècles, le règne, la
puissance et la gloire.
Amen."





Some significant dates and events were:
1523 - The first French protestant martyr, Jean Vallière, burned at
the stake.
1533 - John Calvin flees Paris for Switzerland (settling in Basle
1534).
1540s - A Huguenot colony founded (and collapses) in Quebec (this was
roughly 60 years prior to the actual founding of Quebec.)
1550, 24 July - The first Huguenot Church established in London.
1558 - Ascension of Elizabeth I (a Protestant) encourages Huguenot
migration to England.
1562, 1 March - Massacre of more than a thousand Huguenots at Vassy.

1562 - A Huguenot colony founded (and abandoned) in South Carolina.
1562 - Huguenots legally recognised in France under the Edict of St
Germain.
1562-1598 - The Wars of Religion.
Eight wars between the French Catholics (backed by the Spanish) and
the Protestants (backed at times by English, Germans, and Swiss).
1564 - A Huguenot colony founded in north Florida.
Destroyed by the Spanish (i.e. Catholics) in September 1565.
1572, 23/24 August - St. Bartholomew Day Massacre.
Tens of thousands of Huguenots murdered in Paris and across France by
Catholics.
1589 - Henri III (a Catholic) is assassinated (by a less moderate
Catholic!).
Henri of Navarre (a Huguenot) becomes king of France as Henri IV.
1593 - Henri IV converts to Catholicism. (In order to secure the
submission of the whole of France to his rule.)
1598 - Edict of Nantes issued by Henri IV, granting Huguenots
religious freedom and civil rights.
(By some accounts more than 200,000 Huguenots had fled France by now,
though with each improvement in the situation some returned.)
1610, 14 May - Henri IV is assassinated (by another fanatical
Catholic).
(Resumption of persecution of Huguenots, led by Cardinal Richelieu.)
1617 - Louis XIII crowned king of France at the age of 17.
1624 - Cardinal Richelieu becomes principal minister.
1643 - Louis XIV becomes king of France.
(Huguenot persecution becomes even more severe than under Louis XIII.)

1685, 18 Oct - Edict of Nantes revoked by Louis XIV. This was the
last straw for many Huguenots, and created a huge wave of refugees.
(The total emigration due to this is variously estimated at 130,000,
200,000, 250,000, 400,000 and even 1,000,000. Up to 1,000,000
Protestants remained in France, many subsequently reverting to
Catholicism.)

Three brothers, Thomas, Jean and Louis Dupre, apparently arrived in
Manakintown, Virginia in 1701 aboard the Mary Ann, one of four ships
that brought huguenots to America via London. Apparently there is a
family bible out there. One story is that the Dupre family were silk
farmers in the South of France.

1419 I am making the assumption that this ancestor was named Barnabas. His
name might have been Arthur. One of his sons was named Barnaba and
another named Arthur. Both of these names were carried through the
family down to the present. In Ireland there was a traditional method
for naming children, which was called "patromymic". The first names
alternated. Example: Grandfather, Patrick, had a first son whom he
named for his father, Gerald. Gerald's first son would be named
Patrick. Patrick's first son would be named Gerald, etc. I chose
Barnabas because I had found a Barnabas Powers in Richmond Co., NC in
the 1795 Early Census Index.

1424 I have noticed several sources recently reporting that Mary Steele was wife of James "the Weaver" Alexander. However in research reported in "Alexander Kin" by Virginia Alexander there is a will dated July 12, 1717 filed in New Castle Co. Del., Book C Vol I, P. 103 by James Alexander that names wife Mary, father-in -law John Steele, yeoman of New Castle Co. Del., brother Francis Alexander "Weaver" of Cecil Co., Md. and sons John, Joseph and Francis. This appears to be the James "the farmer" Alexander married to Mary Steele and he was a son of Samuel Alexander the brother of James "the Weaver". In deed book 5 p.97, Cecil Co., Md. dated April 1, 1735 records James Alexander and son Moses, and Mary wife to ye said Moses selling a part of their land to William Sample. On page 235 of same book James Alexander releases to his son Moses the remainder of the tract purchased by them from Thomas Stevenson. Thus it appears James"the weaver" father of Moses Alexander was still alive and well past the date of 1717 when James the husband of Mary Steele died. I haven't checked these documents myself but this all sounds reasonable.

1425 I still hesitate to switch parents for Rachel, based soley on this one
record [Bapt] - We have yet to find a Chr/Bapt record for Rees Shelby,
or the Thomas Shelby who witnessed a bond in 1742 for Evan Shelby. So
there is still the possibility there could be another Rachel..

There has been some confusion among the researchers over Rachel's
Bapt. It was contended that unless she was a twin to Rees, she
couldn't have been born the same year and therefore she might not be
Evan and Catherine's daughter.

It was Cass Knight Shelby[CKS] who gave Rees his estimated birthdate
of 1721, based on a 1760 deed in PA, giving land to son Evan, who as
far as we know, was Rees oldest child.

***Sept 1999- I now have a photocopy of the church record showing a
Rachel Shelby, Bapt 21 Oct 1721, as the daughter of a Recei Shelby.
She is the only Shelby shown as being christened this date...She can't
be the daughter of our known Rees..So in all likely hood she was Evan
Sr's niece, not daughter...
If Evan & Catherine brought a niece and nephew to this country, what
family other than his own children did he bring with him? Had
Rachel's parents died?? Was our known Rees her brother? Did Evan and
Catherine also have a daughter Rachel??

page 669- John McFARLAND name is among the list of early settlers in
Union district, 1776

page 685- The oldest church in West Virginia west of the Allegheny
mountains was the "Forks of Cheat Baptist Church." It was a branch of
the Great Bethel Church of Uniontown, PA, which granted it a
constitution in 1775. The church had been started by the Rev John
Corbley November 5, 1775, with twelve members-Sam. Lewellen (elder),
John McFarland (deacon), Thomas Mills, Thomas Evans, Joseph
Boltinghouse, Hannah Lewellen, Susannah McFarland, Martha Mills,
Catherine Evans, Elizabeth Jackson, William John [among others]
In 1778 Rachel Pindell and several others were added. The first
building was a log cabin, built before 1781. In 1803 William John,
Samuel Brown, Richard Cain and John McFarland agreed to hew the long
for a new building, 26 x 22 feet, 12 rounds high. It stood near the
old building until 1832, when a third building (40 x 30 ft.)
superseeded it. The two log buildings are now school buildings. John
McFarland and Daniel______ were deacons in 1830. The first log
building was built before 1781 at the old Baptist burying ground above
Launcelot John's on the Morgantown and Stewartstown road.

1426 I think I read, perhaps in some records of one of the Baptist churches that he caught a cold during a preaching trip, and died from complications of that. (I could be misremembering.) But I do know that he had tuberculosis in the 1860's, and, in fact, that's why he was released from the Union Army during the Civil War. The TB probably complicated things for the rest of his fairly short life. (Source: Donna Hart)

This is the gravestone of Rev. John Thomas Daughety, a Baptist preacher. He was born August 25, 1844, in Butler County, Kentucky, and died December 26, 1890 in Grayson County, Kentucky. He was married to Phoebe Jane Abney on March 22, 1864, in Butler County and, very late in life, to Eliza Hays. Notice that he was a Mason (I hadn't remembered that until I posted this photo). He is buried in the Elder-Anderson Cemetery (or Caney Creek Church Cemetery). If anyone knows where Phoebe is buried, I'd love to hear.

1432 In 1165 Rainald of Dassel, Archbishop of Cologne, arrived at the
court of King Henry II at Rouen, to negotiate a German match for
Matilda. There was conflict during the negotiations, however, when
Robert de Beaumont, 2nd Earl of Leicester refused to greet the
archbishop, alleging him to be a schismatic and a supporter of the
anti-pope, Victor IV. The original plan to match a daughter of Henry
II with a son of Frederick I, Holy Roman Emperor was abandoned, and
instead Matilda left England in September 1167 to marry Henry the
Lion.
At the time of their marriage, Henry the Lion was one of the most
powerful allies of Frederick I, Holy Roman Emperor. Matilda governed
her husband's vast estates during his absence in the Holy Land from
1172 to 1173. In 1174, Henry the Lion became involved in a conflict
with the Emperor Frederick, and Henry and Matilda were forced to flee
Germany and take refuge in Normandy at her father's court in 1182.
During this time at the royal court at Argentan, Matilda became
acquainted with the troubador Bertran de Born, who, calling her
"Elena" or "Lana", made her the object of his desire in two of his
poems of "courtly love".
Matilda, her husband, and their family remained in Normandy under
the protection and support of King Henry until 1185, when they were
able to return to Saxony. When her father Henry II died in 1189,
Matilda survived him by only one week.

The Brunswick Cathedral, in the City of Braunschweig (Brunswick),
Germany, is a large church dedicated to St. Blaise and was built by
Henry the Lion from 1173 to 1195. While commonly called a cathedral,
it is not actually one.
Henry and his consort Matilda are both buried in the cathedral. The
limestone statues on the tomb in the nave are an idealised
representation made a generation after their death, between 1230 and
1240.



 
Of Anjou, Matilda (I7254)
 
1433 In 1325 France is unmistakably the heart of Europe. A French pope
is resident in Avignon. The French king, Charles IV, has inherited
from his Capetian ancestors a realm which, from its early beginnings
around Paris, has grown steadily in size, wealth and influence. The
kingdom has a larger population than any rival state in Europe (around
15 million). Paris is the continent's intellectual centre.
Three years later this stability is severely threatened by the
early death of the king. When Charles IV dies, at the age of
thirty-four in 1328, he has been three times married but he has no
son. Since the death of Hugh Capet in 996 there has always been a son
(or very occasionally a brother) to inherit the French crown. In the
present generation the pattern is broken. Charles IV succeeds two
elder brothers (Louis X and Philip V), and he leaves two daughters -
one of them born posthumously.
The claim of Charles's elder daughter is rejected on the grounds of
her sex, even though the Salic law is not yet officially enshrined in
the French system. A great assembly of feudal magnates is charged with
deciding who is the rightful heir.
The closest male relative of Charles IV is his nephew Edward, the
son of Charles's sister Isabella. There is a certain logical objection
to Edward's inheritance; if the crown may not be inherited by a woman,
it would seem inconsistent for it to be inherited through a woman.
There is another factor which the chronicles of the time imply to
be an even more powerful obstacle. Edward is now Edward III, king of
England. France does not want an English king.
In the circumstances it is not surprising that the assembly awards
the crown to a more distant relation. Philip of Valois is only a
cousin of Charles IV, but his descent is all-male and all-French (he
is the son of a younger brother of Charles's father, Philip IV).
The Valois prince is crowned king at Reims in May 1328 as Philip
VI, beginning a new (though closely related) line on the French
throne. The dynasty's first reign is a difficult one. It includes the
human and economic disaster of the Black Death. And the disputed
succession brings on the long-drawn-out conflict known as the Hundred
Years' War.

1434 In 1474, now extant and in the public archives at Edinburg, it appears, that this Uchtred Knox, promiscuously designed of the ILK and of Ranfurley was son and heir to John Knox of that ILK or Knox , Ranfurley and Grieff Castle. -The said Uchtred Knox was one of the arbiters between the Abbot of Paisley and the town of Renfrew, in a dispute about their marches in 1488. He married Agnes Lyle daughter of Lord Lyle, whose family estate was in the neighbourhood of Renfrew; by her he left issue of two sons; Uchtred or Uchter Knox his successor and George Knox (who married Janet Fleming a daughter of the ancient house of Barrochan in the county of Renfrew, where the family yet liveth) to whom and to his said wife Janet, his father gave half the lands of Knox, and their charter bears date in 1503.

Notes on Matthew Knox:
Knox-DNA Project [Group 1; Haplogroup R1b1b2]
Testing Service Name: Family Tree DNA
Group or Line Number: Line No. 1
Participant ID Number: 49726 [Sponsor: Jim Brown]

Earliest Ancestor's Name: Matthew Knox, b. bef 1741, Ireland, probably; d. bef Jan 1803, Steele Creek Community, Mecklenburg Co, NC. *

There is considerable disagreement among Knox Researchers regarding Matthew's age and ancestry. We do not know when he arrived in America; however, his earliest known record is a Mecklenburg NC Deed dated Dec 1762 which indicates he was "of Anson" county NC. Based on this deed, we can assume he was born not later than 1741.

We have no primary evidence sources that prove this Matthew was a son of "Old" Sarah Knox and her unknown husband, or that Matthew was a brother to any of other Steele Creek Knoxes, although the DNA evidence is fully consistent with such a relationship. However, it's also consistent with his being a first cousin or other close relative, and his geographic location and documented associations do support the probability of near-kinship with the Steele Creek Knoxes.

Five of Matthew's seven known children, and two grandchildren are named in his Mecklenburg Co, NC Will, dated 26 April 1800, probated Jan 1803, and filed in Will Book D, page 141. Matthew's wife is unnamed, and assumed to have pre-deceased him. It is unclear where he was married more than once.

Children of Matthew Knox & Unknown Wife are:
Jane Knox, m. Unnamed Garrett
James Knox, m. Mary Ann Abbott [see below] **
Unnamed (pre-deceased?) Daughter Knox m. Berry Young (parents of grandson, Matthew Young, named in Matthew Knox's LWT) ***
Unnamed (pre-deceased?) Daughter Knox m. Unknown Price (parents of granddaughter Amy Price, named in Matthew's LWT) ***
Margaret Knox, m. John W. Peck
John T. Knox, m. Celia Unknown
Elizabeth Knox
*Matthew Knox, 1800 Salisbury District, Mecklenburg Co, NC Census: Age Range given as 45+ (b. bef 1755). Son James was b. 1760-1770, this according to his 1830 and 1840 census records; therefore, Matthew was born no later than 1740-1750. Matthew's 1762 Deed indicates he was at least 21 at that time, therefore born not later than 1741. Matthew may have been much older, however, his age cannot be determined with any degree of confidence. Son James was b. in Ireland, according to the 1880 census of three of his sons; therefore, it is likely that Matthew, himself, was also b. Ireland; however, this is unproven.

Matthew, died 1803, owned property adjoining John's property but
appears to have been on the East side (or SE side) after the Catawba
River makes it's curve that separates it from York Co. (John's would
have been across from Gaston & York) It may be that Matthew's was in
the vicinity of today's area of Shopton Road West and Sledge Road.
Matthew also owned a tract of land that adjoined Thomas Neely, Jr. on
Steele Creek and appears to have been between Neely and John
Whiteside.

It appears that Matthew (brother of Joseph, James & Samuel) who
received the 1/3 interest in the land in John's will did in fact die
and Joseph inherited his interest in the land. From this we can see
that Joseph sold his 1/3 interest and it is thought that he at that
time (about 1797) left and went to Tennessee.. He does not appear in
the 1800 census record in the Steele Creek area.

It is not known who the wife of Matthew Knox was. She may have died
young or she definitely predeceased him as she is not mentioned in his
will.

Matthew appears to have come to Steele Creek after his brothers, John
and Samuel. It is probable that Samuel and John had received grants
before Mecklenburg County was formed in 1763. At least Samuel was here
by that time and it appears that he already owned several large tracts
of land before he started buying more that were recorded in
Mecklenburg County.

Matthew purchased property from Reese Price and his wife Sarah (of
then Anson Co.) on 15 & 16 December 1762. The amount of acres is not
listed in the abstract. (Mecklenburg County, N.C., Deed Abstracts,
1763-1779, Brent H. Holcomb & Elmer O. Parker, Reprinted by Southern
Historical Press, Inc, Greenville, SC. 1991. p. 3.) It states that the
property was located on the east side of the Catawba River, near land
formerly granted to James Armour and near an old Indian path and was
granted to Reese Price in 1753.

In 1775, Matthew received a state Grant #414 issued at New Bern, Vol.
25, p. 53, for 100 acres on the east side of the Catawba River adj.
Amour, Swann, John Knox and other lands of Matthew. His children had
probably married at a place where Matthew lived prior to moving to
Steele Creek. His daughters were married to a Garrett, Barry Young and
John Peck. These were certainly not Steele Creek names and evidently
they did not move to Steele Creek. They may have lived in old Tryon
County or Lincoln Co., however, nothing is known of them.

Matthew was a constable for Mecklenburg County in 1778. Since he owned
property adjoining the Prices, John Knox (his brother) and Swann, it
is likely that it was located near where Westinghouse Blvd is located
today near Hwy 160. The "old Indian path" was no doubt the Tuckassegee
path which was in the locale of Hwy 160 today. Armour's land was
located near where Wither Cove is today.

He left his real property to his sons, John and James. It is believed
that James moved to South Carolina at some point. Matthew named his
son, John his co-executor along with neighbor James Hartt. In 1825,
James of Pendleton Dist., SC sold to John Knox, 250 acres on the river
adj. Samuel Knox which he stated, he inherited from his father ,
Matthew Knox. Whether this was his brother John, or his cousin John
(either son of Samuel or son of James), it is not known. Matthew
wrote his will on 26 April 1800 (about the time that his brother
Samuel Knox, died, and it was probated in Jan. 1803. None of Matthew's
children are buried in Steele Creek and if Matthew is buried at Steele
Creek, he does not have a marker.

In his Will, he gives his daughter, Jane Garret, a Negro, Hannah. He
gives the plantation he lives on and the tract adjoining it to be
divided between his sons John and James and "if they cannot agree
among themselves how these lands are to be divided, they are to call
upon Hugh Herron, Joseph Swann and James Hartt to make the division,
and son John is to have his choice as to which half is to belong to
him". He gives to his daughter Margaret, the Negro Nan (who is not to
be sold out of the family), also "my rug, my feather bed, blanket and
sheets. To his daughter Elizabeth, he gave the Negro Ned and "my small
table". To his grandson Matthew Young $60 when he reaches 21; to son
(in-law?) Barry Young one silver dollar; and to granddaughter Amy
Price, a cow and a blanket. ***was there another daughter who had
married a Price and perhaps had died prior to his will???** He willed
that the Negro Aleck is to remain on his land and that his time is to
be divided between his sons John and James. The Negro wench Binah, is
to be set free and at full liberty to act for herself on condition
that she live among his children of her choice and he gave her a cow,
a spinning wheel and some hogs.

His son (in-law?) John W. Peck is to have full liberty to occupy what
he can of his improvements for a term of two years and either live "in
my dwelling house or my other little house".
It appears that all of these children may have left the area after
Matthew died and none of these names appear in Steele Creek records or
cemeteries.
I suspect that there was a cemetery located near the river at one time
where some of the Prices, Knox's and other neighbors might be located,
however, if there was, it is probably under the waters of Lake Wylie
today. These people attended Steele Creek Church, but there are
several of these families that do not appear to be buried at Steele
Creek. It may be that they are buried at Steele Creek in unmarked
graves.
Matthew is mentioned in his brother Samuel's will. It appears that at
his death, only brothers David and Robert may have still been living.
It is not known when either of them died or where. It is suspected
that Robert died in York County and David may have lived elsewhere in
South Carolina.

1442 In a biographical sketch of Francis Gillespie Culpepper which appeared
in the Lavaca Co., TX Shiner Gazette on 2 Feb 1898, it was stated that
the grandmother of Francis G. Culpepper and therefore the mother of
John Culpepper [1772-1855] and the wife of the elder John Culpepper
"was a sister to General Oglethorpe." Lewis Peek Culpepper, another
grandson, read this article and in a 19 Mar 1898 letter to B. F.
Burke, wrote that with the exception of the year of birth of his
brother, "it was a tolerable correct historical account." Nothing has
been found to support the Oglethorpe connection except that John
Culpepper [1772-1855] had a daughter, Sarah O., and two grandsons with
a middle name of Oglethorpe. William L. Carlisle wrote 29 Aug 1978: In
all our research we have been unable to find any clue which might lead
us to the conclusion that any member of his family, except himself
[General James Edward Oglethorpe], ever came to America. Within six
months of his death, two nephews in France, most likely a son of
Eleanor [a sister] and a son of Fanny [a sister], indicated their
intention to file a claim for any property he may still have had in
Georgia. It occurs to us, as it must surely to you, that if any
relatives were known to be living in the Colony, particularly a
sister, the nephews would not have presumed to assume the role of
"heirs." There is no record of the French kin coming to America at the
time....

In the 29 Aug 1978 letter, William L. Carlisle included the following
from James Edward Oglethorpe - Imperial Idealist by Amos Aschbach
Ettinger which was published at Oxford by the Clarendon Press in 1936:
Theophilus Oglethorpe of West Riding, Yorkshire, and Eleanor (Ellen)
Wall were married in 1680. To this union nine children were born as
follows: Lewis b Feb. 1681 d 8 Sept. 8, 1704 The Hague Theophilus, Jr.
b 1682 d 1737 In France Anne Henrietta b 1683 d Sept. 5, 1756 at her
home, Strand-on-the-Green, England. She was created Countess of
Oglethorpe in 1722 and afterward made her home with her brother James
for a period. We find no record of her ever having married. Eleanor b
1684 We do not know the date of her death. In 1707 she was married to
Eugene-Marie de Bethisy, Marquis de Mezieres. She probably died in
France. James b June 1, 1689 bur June 15, 1690 Louisa Mary (Molly) and
Sutton (twins) b Sept. 1693. Sutton lived seven weeks. In 1733 Molly
married Marquis de Bensonpiere. The Marquis died within a year and the
Marquise closed her career in a minor post in the court of Spain. We
did not find the date of her death. Frances Charlotte (Fanny) b Feb.
1696. In December 1719 she married Jean Francois de Bellegarde,
Marquis de Marches of Peidmont. She must have also died in France on
an unknown date. James Edward b Dec. 22, 1696 d 1785 in England. The
founder of the Colony of Georgia. He came to America first in January
1734 and stayed until late in the year 1743. He made two prolonged
trips back to England in the interim in connection with the
administration and military affairs of the Colony but when he sailed
from Charles Town for London in 1743, he never saw his beloved Georgia
again. On Sept. 15, 1744, in King Henry VII Chapel in Westminster
Abbey, he was married to Elizabeth Wright the only daughter of Sir
Nathan Wright, Baronet. There were no children.

The problem with the idea that the elder John Culpepper married one of
the descendents of General Oglethorpe is that the sisters are a
generation too early for such a marriage and the husbands of General
Oglethorpe's sisters are known. An Oglethorpe researcher, Kenneth H.
Thomas, Jr., wrote (16 Jun 1985) that neither General Oglethorpe "nor
his brothers, left any children at all, male or female. There are many
descendants of his sisters, though, but all remained in Europe (at
least during the 1700s) and married noble Catholic families."

Perhaps the wife of the elder John Culpepper was an Oglethorpe or a
descendant of an Oglethorpe, but not a sister of the General. The
Oglethorpe name is rare in the United States, it was not represented
at all in the 1790 census of the United States. However, there were
Oglethorpes living in Camden District, SC in the 1760's and 1770's.
Hannah, Thomas, and John Newman Oglethorpe all witnessed a deed for
land on the south side of the Wateree River in 1765 (SC Deeds Book
E-3, p. 192). John Newman Oglethorpe is mentioned in Robert W.
Ramsey's Carolina Cradle as being a resident of Camden, SC, during
1765-1768.

For search purposes, the name Sarah Oglethorpe has been tentatively
suggested as the name of the wife of the elder John Culpepper since
John and Nancy (Gillespie) Culpepper named other children for presumed
relatives, e.g., Francis Gillespie Culpepper and Daniel Peek
Culpepper, and so possibly their daughter, Sarah O. Culpepper, was
named for her grandmother.

1443 In a book compiled by Raymond DeWeese (1992) The County of Butler
in the Commonwealth of KY 1810-1814 Taken from Order Book A & Circuit
Court Order Books A & B", page 13: The County Court recommended for
Justice of the Peace in the room of Hugh Marrs who resigned, Temple
Davis & William Marrs. As for Justice of the Peace in the room of
Thomas Lawrence who resigned, they recommended Jonathan Gough and
Abner Womack (1810). Jonathan Gough took oath as Justice of the Peace
for Butler County, KY on 02 Oct 1810.
On page A-2, Jonathan Gough was quoted, addressing the Court: "Mr.
Chairman, the people living down at Berrys Lick request that a road be
cut from there, so as to intersect the Logan Road at James Ingram's
place." The Chairman responded, "The Court will go along with their
wishes and appoints Joshua Shelton, Jesse Gough, Abner Womack and
Samuel Hargrove, or any three of them after first being Sworn,
Commissioners to view and mark the best way for this new road, and
make their report as the Law directs".
Page D-19 shows that Jonathan Gough requested that he be appointed
Guardian to the orphaned children of William Howard, dec'd (1814). The
children, all under 14 years of age were: Mordica Howard, America
Howard and William W. Howard. Jonathan executed a Bond with Thomas
Porter his Security in the sum of $500.00 agreeable to the law.
Steve Lawrence sent the following in E-mail dated July 2001: "Jonathan
Gough, Sr. appears in Washington Co., AL as a male 50-60 (b. 1770-80),
which conforms with the 1778 birth year appearing for him in the
Taylor Bible entry. Also, there are no wife, two sons, and three
daughters listed with him on the census, again conforming to the
Taylor Bible entries, including conformant ages. So, I think from this
data, we can conclude that the Taylor Bible gives a complete family
group for Jonathon and Mary Ann Taylor Gough.... On the Washington Co.
1840 Census, Jonathon B. Gough appears as the head of household, aged
20-30 (b. 1810-20), which conforms with his birth date in the Taylor
Bible. He is living with an elderly male aged 60-70 - probably
Jonathon, Sr., as well as another male aged 20-30 - probably his
brother."

1446 In April, 1983, David White a graduate student at Western Kentucky
State University Bowling Green Kentucky from Scottsville in
researching another Taylor Line revealed to me some available
information concerning Moses Taylor's parents in the Kentucky Building
of the University. It had been obtained from records in Craven County
North Carolina by a Bowling Green Genealogist - Nora Young Ferguson -
and published by her in a book called "Family Records" IN 1970.
Securing copies of this information I immediately checked material in
Kentucky Tennessee Indiana North Carolina and Maryland Libraries to
verify its accuracy. The Genealogical Services Branch of the North
Carolina State Library Raleigh N.C. had the records of Craven County
available for study. Also State Land Grants in the period 1728-1800
were at hand as were copies of the Wills of the father and grandfather
of Moses Taylor Senior. It was also established that both of these
ancestors had come from Maryland to North Carolina. Research in the
Hall of Records at Annapolis and in the Maryland Historical Society
Library at Baltimore confirmed this and also revealed that the
great-grandfather of Moses Taylor Senior was Abraham Taylor Senior
(1661-1719). The last three libraries mentioned above were visited
during the week of May 9-13 1983.

From the above information we determined that Robert Taylor, the son
of Abraham Taylor Junior, and Dinah (White) Taylor was the father of
Moses Taylor Senior and the great-grandfather of Alfred Taylor. Robert
Taylor was born on October 13 1709 (St. John Parish Record, p. 18) in
Baltimore County Maryland. He migrated with his parents to the New
Bern area Craven County North Carolina in 1728-1729, where he lived
until his death on April 15 1780. He married about the year 1728
either in Baltimore County Maryland or in Craven County North
Carolina. His wife's first name was Cstherine. Her last name is
unknown. They became the parents of eight children - five sons and
three daughters. Moses Taylor Senior was their first child and eldest
son, being born in 1729. The dates and order of birth of the remaining
offspring are unknown. They are Aaron Taylor, Abraham Taylor, Absalom
Taylor, James Taylor, ______ (Taylor) (who married Robert Green,
________ (Taylor) who married John Slade, ________ (Taylor) who
married Owen Daugherty. The first names of the Taylor daughters are
unknown to me.
Robert Taylor is listed as a "Planter" in deeds.
Abraham Taylor Junior and Dinah White Taylor were the
great-great-grandparents of Alfred Taylor. He was born about 1685 in
Baltimore County Maryland the son of Abraham Taylor Senior and Jane
(______) Taylor. He was united in marriage to Dinah White in the same
county in about 1708. The name of their children together with the
dates and places of their births are as follows:Robert Taylor (b.
October 13 1709), Anne (Taylor) Colton (b. March 29, 1712), Jacob
Taylor (b. October 6 1714), Rachel (Taylor) Beesley (b.October 9
1919), Abraham Taylor III (b. October 20 1723, Isaac Taylor (b.
November 25 1725) and Prudence Taylor (b. 1729). All but the
last-mentioned one were born in Baltimore County Maryland and their
names and births are recorded in the St. John's Parish Register in
that county (See pages 7, 18, 62).
Prudence Taylor was born in Craven County, North Carolina after her
family had migrated there in 1727-1728. Abraham Taylor Junior, died
sometime between the making of his will on April 2 1751 and the
probation of it in Johnston County in December 1751. After 1746 he
lived in that county. It was taken from Craven County. He and his son
Robert had secured extensive acreage in land in the period 1729-1751.

Known as Sir Robert Pollok.
Received a grant of lands (1605-1608) in County Derry, in or near
Colerlaine, in what is now Northern Ireland (ref: Burke's Presidents,
1981, second edition, under "Lineage of President Polk".

Progeniter of the Polk family is John Pollock, a gentleman of landed
property near Glasgow. His son was Robert Pollock, who married
Magdalen Tasker Porter, the daughter of Colonel Tasker, who was Robert
Pollock's commander in Oliver Cromwell's Army. Robert Pollock in 1659
emigrated from Ireland to Maryland accompanied by his wife and
children. It is about this date that "Polk" was evolved from Pollock.

The following is the Will of Robert Polk, with spelling and
capitalization exactly as shown in the original:
"In the Name of God, Amen:

1448 In England the kings of Wessex were emerging as the most powerful
rulers and the beginnings of a single English kingdom is usually dated
to 954. Athelstan of Wessex was able to impose a kind of over lordship
on the Welsh rulers and to exact tribute from them, and Gwynedd came
under the rule of the south Wales king, Hywel Dda (the Good), grandson
of Rhodri Mawr. Like his grandfather before him Hywel also succeeded
in creating a degree of unity within Wales.

After Hywel`s death in 950 all the Welsh kingdoms saw a succession of
power struggles and the Vikings came back. In Gwynedd, Penmon was
raided in 971 and Clynnog in 978.
