| 1502 | Jane Knox Pettus was the daughter of Samuel Knox, who was the brother of John Knox (1722 - 1777). John Knox was the grandfather of Samuel B. Knox, so Samuel B. and Cynthia Pettus were 2nd cousins. Old John also had a son Samuel, brother of James, Samuel B.'s father. Samuel Knox, son of John, had a son James B. Knox who married Rebecca Pettus, who was the sister of Cynthia. This James would have been a 1st cousin of Samuel B., so that James B. also married his 2nd cousin. | Knox, Jane (I3639)

| 1513 | John Cross served in the 14th Tennessee Infantry during the Civil War. He joined the regiment at Camp Duncan, Tennessee, on May 17, 1861. He enlisted at the rank of private and was promoted to the rank of Sergeant. On December 13, 1862, in the Battle of Fredricksburg, John Cross was wounded when he was shot in the foot. He was treated at Wayside Hospital #9 and sent to Chimborazzo Hospital in Richmond, Virginia for treatment of a gunshot wound to the right foot. He lost two toes from the wound. He returned to duty on August 8, 1862. In his application for a Tennessee Civil War pension, he wrote, "I was wounded in the heat of battle at Fredricksburg." He also stated that he returned to his regiment early, preferring that to the hospital. John returned to duty and received new clothing at Camp Winder, Virginia. He arrived on May 3, 1863, in time to engage in the Battle of Chancellorsville. He was again wounded in this battle. He was treated at Wayside and Receiving Hospital #9 and was then sent to Chimborazzo Hospital #1 in Richmond. He was treated for a leg wound. John described this wound, "I was shot in the thigh about halfway between my knee and hip and the ball ranged up came out under my hip bone, which gave me much pain. In 1906, Dr. Glasgow wrote in John Cross' pension application, "I find him suffering from nervous tremble, known as palsy, caused from the wound he got in the hip and thigh. I have been his physician for 10-12 years and noticed this tremble increasing all the time. He is unable to do manual labor at all. While he can walk some, he can't use his hands, they are continually shaking all the time. He is disabled from any work and will continue to get worse." John Cross recovered from this wound and returned for duty on September 2, 1863. His hospitalization had caused him to miss two major battles, Gettysburg (July 1-5, 1863) and Falling Waters (July 14, 1863). W. F. Thomas, and J. M. Lewis, two old friends, wrote about John Cross, "He was a good and true soldier, who fought from the first of the war to the finish & he has his parole he got at Lee's surrender. He has been an upright honorable citizen ever since the war and is totally disable to do any work as his hands shake so he can't write his name. After the war John remained an unreconstructed rebel. He answered the question on his pension application, Did you sign a loyalty oath by writing in a very large "NO" John returned from the war to Stewart and Houston Counties in Tennessee where he lived the remainder of his life. He raised a large family of twelve children. His occupations included mining iron ore, blacksmithing, and farming. He died at his farm in Houston County, Tennessee, on July 4, 1906.

| 1515 | John Flennekin b. 7 Mar 1744, was one of the original signers of the Meckenburg Declaration of Independence. There are many people in this family with this name, and doing genealogical research is difficult. Family researchers say that his family came from Tryone, Ulster, Ireland about 1730 with other Scotch-Irish natives. They arrived in Philadelphia and later moved to Charlotte. His parents, James and Jean, had nine children. John married and had a son, John Oliver, who often gets confused with his father. John, Sr., served in the Revolutionary War with his daughter-in-law’s father, David Reid. The Fennekins owned a lot of land in Sharon township in Mecklenburg County. John was a delegate from Captain James Jack’s company at a convention in Charlotte in May 1775. He served under Francis Marion as a private soldier. He also was an elder at the Providence Presbyterian Church, a magistrate and a member of the Mecklenburg county court. One report is that he was killed from being thrown off a horse. The confusion comes into play because no one knows for sure where he is buried or when he died. Family members and professional genealogists have considered an unmarked grave, missing tombstone, as well as a burial in the area around Knoxville, TN. Records get confused with his son, so that this family heritage has been filled with errors on all levels. The only thing that has been generally agreed upon is that John, the son of James and Jean, is most likely the signer, rather than his son, John O. Flennekin.

| 1517 | John fought in several major battles during the Civil War under General Lee. He and his brother, Jasper, were both wounded at Gettysburg. Jasper was captured and later died in New York. While John was away serving in the war, Millie and the three young children planted and harvested the crops and paid off the farm debt. While hauling cane to the sorghum mill, the horse ran away and she received a broken jaw. After the War, John and Millie Ann moved to Davenport, Iowa for a while and then settled in Texas near Cotton Wood Srings, south of Whitemound, Grayson Co., in a two room log cabin with five children. Several years later, his sisters, Hanna Lawrence and Caroline Harriet Hayes and his mother, Nancy Jane (Carson) Hollingsworth followed him to Texas. His mother was a cousin of Kit Carson. His brother, Franklin and sister, Martha Jane Haley, remained in S. C. In 1872, he bought 80 acres west of Whitemound, Grayson County, and in later bought more land to expand to 187 acres and replaced the log cabin with a frame house in 1880. After his father died, his mother, Nancy Carson Hollingsworth (1817-1902), moved from Townville, S. .C. to Texas to live with him. She is buried at Whitmound, Tex. Issac Hollingsworth and Barnet Woolbright were Petit Jurors in the 01 Jan 1798, list.Union Co. S.C. John Hollingworth attested to Elizabeth Hamby being the mother of John Henry Woolbright on application for settlement of moneys due following his death in the Civil War, 06 June 1863. John's other siblings included Wm. Jasper, b. 1834, killed in Civil War & Rebecca, b. 1846-1864 Franklin HOLLINGSWORTH, b. 1843 in Anderson Co., SC, (son of Robert HOLLINGSWORTH, b. 1813 in Greenville Dist., S. C & Nancy CARSON, b. 14 March 1814), m. Winnie Woolbright, b. c1846. (See under Winnie, d/o Mary Woolbright). (Source: Posted on AncestryWorldTree Search) John & Millie Woolbright Hollingsworth GRAYSON CO. TX by Alda Hollingworth Francis, "It was soon after the close of the Civil War, that my grandparents, John Newton and Millie Ann Woolbright Hollingsworth came to Texas in a covered wagon with two other families. One of these was Dr. Simmons, father of Lee Simmons, a well known citizen of Sherman. They arrived in Grayson Co. in 1868. John was born in Anderson Co., S. C. in the year 1836. His wife was born in the same area in 1841. He first purchased 80 acres in the Whitemound Community, and as he was able, he bought 108 more adjoining the original acreage. One of the "mounds" is on this farm and much of the rock has been used for building. The 1st two crops my grandfather made after he settled here, he had to freight in to Jefferson, Texas. The cotton was carried by team and wagon as this was the closest market. It took six weeks to make the trip, there and back. He would bring back a year's supply of groceries, such as barrels of flour and unrefined brown sugar. Also he bought full bolts of calico and his favorite color was pink. Needless to say, my aunts never liked pink after they were grown. Grandmother said that she got one new broom a year. The rest of the time she made her own brooms by tying broom weeks together in a bunch. During these early years, life was rough to say the least. Land had to be cleared of brush and stumps, crops planted, fire wood cut, water carried from the spring for drinking, cooking, and for dripping thru the wood ash hopper to make soap. There was many long hours before the spinning wheel and loom to make cloth for clothing and bedding. Farm animals needed daily attention. Deaths occurred from illness and injuries. At one time Whitemound was a thriving little town. Around the turn of the century there were two grocery stores, two saloons, a blacksmith shop, a cotton gin and Post Office. My grandfather was instrumental in in getting one of the first schools established in Whitemound and he bought and assembled half of the desks needed for the school. Several of the younger children attended Grayuson College at Whitewright. He also gave the land on the SE corner of his farm to build a Baptist Church, and he and his wife were charter members. He also gave land on the NW of the farm for half of the Whitemound Cemetery. His philosophy was "A man needs a place of learning, a place to worship and a place to be buried." John Newton and Millie Ann reared nine children to be grown: Emma Morrow, Katherine Davenport, Wm. Jasper (my father), Martha Goza, Robert E., John W., Lula Denton, Anna Blackburn, and James P. My great grandmother, Nancy Carson Hollingsworth (a cousin to Kit Carson) came from Townsville, S. C. to Texas later and lived with her son, John Newton, or Jim as he was called. She was born in 1817 and died in 1902. She is also buried at Whitemound (at this time there are five generations buried there). Jim died in 1900 and his wife, Millie Ann, in 1928. My father, William Jasper, was born near Townsville, S.C. in 1862. He took charge of the farm in 1914, after his sister, Emma Morrow and her husband moved to a farm of their own. We lived there until his death in 1927. My mother was Mattie May Horn of Sherman. She graduated from Mary Nash College. They were married in 1891 and were the parents of eight children. I have heard my father talk about his fright when they were crossing the Indian Territory on their way to Texas. He was lagging behind the wagon; some Indians crowded in between him and the wagon, when he finally managed to get around them and back into the wagon, he never let it out of his sight the rest of the way. The Indians were civilized and were just curious, but he didn't know that. I married Ward B. Francis, June 3, 1917. We bought the farm in 1948 and have lived here since that time. We were given a National Award in 1975 by the Family Land Heritage Program,. Texas Department of Agriculture, as owners of land that had been in the family for over 100 years. Our children and grandchildren love the farm. It is the next thing to Heaven to them and we hope it will stay in the family another l00 years."

| 1519 | John Giles migrated to TX in 1847, settling in Upshur, Co. His father and siblings came to TX the next year. In 1854, John moved to Parker County being the first settler around the town of Azle. His father came with him and settled near-by. (Source: The History of Texas, 1895) John and Frances are listed in the Upshur Co. 1850 Census with one son, William, 3 months. In the 1860 Census he is in Parker Co. with Frances and six children. In the 1870 Census he is living with his second wife, Martha, and 11 children. The oldest child in the home at this time is a 20 year old son who must have been the 1st child of John and Frances. | Reynolds, John Giles (I568)

| 1520 | John Hartwell Marable III was born in 1846 in Montgomery Co., Tennessee. He appeared on the census in 1850 in Montgomery Co., TennesseeHe died about 1911 in Montgomery Co., Tennessee. He was married to Louise "Lula" Gholson about 1865. Louise "Lula" Gholson was born about 1848. She died about 1880. John Hartwell Marable III and Louise "Lula" Gholson had the following children: +1326 ii. Paul Douglas Marable. 1327 iii. Ernest Howard Marable. | Marable, III John Hartwell (I7811)

|
| 1522 | John Henry was killed by his older brother, Aitchey, in a hunting accident on their home place, while Ballard was home from the navy. My grandmother, Neola, always told me, though, that she suspects Ballard "accidentally" killed John H. (called "Aitchey") because Ballard's visiting girlfriend was paying more attention to Aitchey than to Ballard. We all have those skeletons in our closet, I think. At any rate, I told you under some other picture that Ballard was the "bad" twin--in many ways. | Daugherty, John Henry (I7696)
|
| 1523 | John James Culpepper was known as "Jack." His parents were recorded in the 1850 census of Chambers Co., AL and this is where John James is presumed to have been born. After this census, probably before 1855, the family moved to a farm near present day Wadley, AL and this is where John James was noted living with his parents in the 1860 and 1870 census records of Randolph Co., AL. After his marriage, John James remained in Randolph County until after 1880 since he was recorded there with his wife and young family in the 1880 census. According to a granddaughter, Mary Lillian Butler Pierce, in 1883, John James moved his family to the Sand Mountain area of Marshall Co., AL where "John J. Culpepper" was recorded (83:12) in Albertville with his wife and younger children in the 1900 census. He was listed as having been born Dec 1850 in Alabama. A 50 year old "John J. Culpepper" born in Alabama was recorded (96-22) with his wife and daughter in the 1910 census of Marshall Co., AL. His father, Robert J. Culpepper was also living with the family. John James Culpepper apparently remained in Marshall Co., AL the rest of his life since an article about a 1937 family reunion listed his residence as Albertville, AL and this is where he died. When Sallie Butler, a granddaughter, was 15 years old, she wrote the following article about John James and Nancy Jane (Willoughby) Culpepper's 64th wedding anniversary: Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Culpepper, known everywhere as "Uncle Jack and Aunt Nancy," will celebrate their 64th Anniversary December 8, 1935. Uncle Jack will also celebrate his 85th birthday December 4, and Aunt Nancy will be 86 on February 8, 1936. These old folks were happily married 64 years ago, on a cold December night about twelve o'clock. They danced until midnight and then ate supper and danced on. For their supper they had cilloububs, most everyone wonders what that is. [Webster's has "syllabub": 1. a drink or dessert made by curdling milk or cream with acid (as wine or cider) 2. a desert of sweetened milk or cream beaten to a froth and flavored with wine or liquor.] They made their home in Clay County [in Randolph Co., AL census records 1860 through 1880] until 1883, when they moved to Sand Mountain [th Albertville area of Marshall Co., AL] in covered wagons which brought them here after five days journey. They've been in this place for 52 years. They have three children, 19 grandchildren, and 14 great grandchildren. Uncle Jack has made a crop for 65 years. He had a small crop of two acres this year, he plowed, hoed, picked part of the crop.... When they came here they lived in a log cabin, which now stands as a barn. They lived in that for 16 years. They then made a better house and have been in it for forty-six years. So here's hoping we may be able to greet them on their birthdays and many more to come. Good wishes and health to you both throughout the remainder of your years. Your granddaughter, Sallie Butler. Mary Lillian Butler Pierce, another granddaughter, wrote that John James Culpepper had "a bout of typhoid fever" and that he "lost an eye at age 50 yrs. old. Dr. said he needed heart surgery and wouldn't live unless he had it. He lived 38 more yrs. without the surgery and died a natural death." In a 19 Jan 1979 letter, Mary Lillian wrote about the land: My Grandpa Jack bought this 80 or 100 acres of land, where I live, mostly in woods for then 2 small calves and a bale of cotton was 15 cents per lb. Later years, it went back to the Rail Road Co. and he had to pay for it again.... This house was built 1893, a 1 1/2 story, the house still stands, I live in it. Many changes have been made, and some improvements, could stand a few more now. In a 20 Jan 1979 letter, Mary Lillian added: A bale of cotton sold for $15.00, 2 calves were probably $1.00 each or $2.00 which made $17.00 for this property in 1880. Now one lot would sell for $5000.00, quite a difference, huh. Then I didn't tell you what Grandpa Jack did, besides farming. He and a neighbor built chimney's (fireplaces) I visited a friend yesterday p.m., had a roaling(?) wood fire, for heat, said my Grandpa built the chimney. That house is 110 years old.... As far as I know didn't any of the Culpeppers of my Mom's generation, ever strike it rich. All of them had a good living and owned a home and farm. My mom said this place was morgaged once for $25.00 about 1905, then she mortgaged it once to build a house on this property.... Mary Lillian Butler Pierce wrote 23 Apr 1993: My Mom [Mrs. W. E. (Effen Culpepper) Butler] would save about 2 cups of whey & let it clabber [curdle] and my Grandfather would eat it with a spoon with his evening meal....

| 1529 | John Newman Oglethorpe seems a likely possibility to have been the grandfather of John Culpepper, since he was the only Oglethorpe living in geographic proximity to the Culpeppers in the 1770's.

We next find John Newman Oglethorpe in Rowan County, NC, where he was described as a "chirurgeon" or surgeon. He owned land along Abbott's Creek in that portion of Rowan County lying east of the Yadkin River. In 1755 he purchased two town lots in the north square of Salisbury, apparently for speculative reasons (from Carolina Cradle by Robert W. Ramsey, p. 159). . No records have yet been found for John Newman Oglethorpe between 1755 and 1764, but at some point during that period of time he returned to South Carolina, whether to Charleston, or to Camden District, is not certain.

SC, 15 May 1764, Hardyrice Jernigan and Needham Jernigan, of Craven Co., to Joseph Kershaw & Co., merchants, of Pine Tree Hill, for L 595:2:5 currency, 3 Negroes belonging to HardyRice Jernigan, & 200 ac. on Jumping Gully conveyed to Needham Jernigan by James McGirt.

Sec. Recorded 26 Oct 1765 by Fenwicke Bull, Register. By 1765, John Newman Oglethorpe was in Camden, SC, where a deed was witnessed in his presence as a Justice of the Peace (SC Deed Bk E-3, p.186, recorded 21 Oct 1765). On another deed recorded that same day, Robert Milhous, Hannah Oglethorpe and Thomas Oglethorpe witnessed a deed with John Newman Oglethorpe as Justice of the Peace (SC Deed Bk E-3, p. 192) . The next day Robert Milhous, Thomas Oglethorpe, and Samuel Wyly witnessed another deed between the same parties, Samuel Gibson and Isaac Ross, with John Newman Oglethorpe as J.P. (SC Deed Bk E-3, p. 194). The land in these deeds was on the Wateree River, which is near Camden. TheHannah Oglethorpe, mentioned above, was John N. Oglethorpe's wife. On two occasions in 1768, Thomas Oglethorpe was reimbursed by the South Carolina Commons House of Assembly for transporting a prisoner to jail (Citizens and Immigrants--South Carolina, 1768, by Mary B. Warren). So perhaps he was the son of John N., and was about 16 to 20 years old in 1768. John Newman Oglethorpe was a Presbyterian, which displeased the itinerant Anglican minister, Charles Woodmason. On Sunday, August 7, 1768, he wrote: "And yet there is a Magistrate here -- but he is a Presbyterian -- So are these Wretches. Instead of this Magistrate punishing these worthless Sinners he protects them-- and he had the Assurance to write to me to make them Satisfaction for my Admonitions to them (they not being of my Church he said) or he should indite me for an Assault--This dirty fellow I must report to the Governor and Council: How can Ministers suppress Vice, thus openly countenanc'd and protected?..." But elsewhere in his writings Woodmason was kinder: "There's Mr. Oglethorpe, there he sits, God bless Him, I say it in his face, He's a Jewel of a Man, and strives to compose Peoples Janglings all he can, as far as he knows and no Man can do more--and yet very often instead of being prais'd and Esteem'd for admonishing and reproving offenders against the Laws He is often hiss'd and hooted at When by St. Patrick would he exert his Authorityship properly, He might commit them to the stocks, or bind them over to their Good Behavior...."

The Lee family, in the United States of America, is a historically significant Virginia political family, whose many prominent members are known for their accomplishments in politics and the military. They are descended from the Lees of Shropshire, England, and became prominent in colonial America when Colonel Richard Lee (the Immigrant) immigrated to Virginia and made his fortune in tobacco. Prominent members of the family include Thomas Lee (16901750), a founder of the Virginia of the House of Burgesses; Francis Lightfoot Lee (17341797) and Richard Henry Lee (17321794), signers of the United States Declaration of Independence; and, most famously, General Robert E. Lee (18071870) Confederate States of America commander in the United States Civil War. President Zachary Taylor was also a descendant of Colonel Richard Lee. . Most recently, family members have marked over two hundred years of political service in the United States, as Blair Lee III, a descendant of Richard Henry Lee, served as Lieutenant Governor of Maryland from 1971-1979 and Acting Governor of Maryland from 19771979. They descend from the Lees of Shropshire. The name was originally de la Lee, probably from Norman times. The Lees of Shropshire have had a substantial estate near Bridgnorth for 500 years. In one form or another their Coton Hall goes back perhaps to the 11th century. In the U.S. the family began when Colonel Richard Lee (the Emigrant) emigrated to Virginia and made his fortune in tobacco. They first gained wider significance with Thomas Lee (16901750). He became a member of the House of Burgesses and later went on to found the Ohio Company. Thomas Lee[1] (16901750) married Hannah Harrison[3] Ludwell: their children, like the descendants of Thomas Lee's brother Henry Lee, included a number of prominent Revolutionary War and pre-Revolution political figures. Thomas and Hannah Lee's two eldest children were Philip Ludwell Lee (17261775) and Hannah Lee (17281782). Thomas Ludwell Lee (1730-1778) was a member of the Virginia Delegates and a major editor of George Mason's Virginia Declaration of Rights (1776), a precursor to the United States Declaration of Independence, which was signed by his brothers Richard Henry Lee (17321794) and Francis Lightfoot Lee (1734-1797). Richard Henry Lee was a delegate to Continental Congress from Virginia and president of that body, 1774, later serving as President of the United States in Congress assembled under the Articles of Confederation, and United States Senator from Virginia (17891792) under the new United States Constitution. Younger siblings included Alice Lee (1736-1818), who married American Chief Physician William Shippen, Jr.[4] and diplomats William Lee (b. 1739, d. 1795) and Arthur Lee (b. 1740, d. 1792). General Henry Lee III, "Light Horse Harry," also served as Governor of Virginia, and was the father of Robert E. Lee. Henry Lee's grandson, Henry Lee III (1756 - 1818), known as "Light Horse Harry," was a Princeton graduate who served with great distinction under General George Washington in the American Revolutionary War, and was the only officer below the rank of General to receive the "Gold Medal," awarded for his leadership at the Battle of Paulus Hook in New Jersey, on August 19, 1779. He was Governor of Virginia from 1791-1794. Among his six children was Robert Edward Lee, later the famed Confederate general during the American Civil War. Henry Lee III's brothers were the noted Richard Bland Lee, a two-term U.S. Congressman from Virginia, and Charles Lee (17581815), Attorney General of the United States from 17951801. Robert E. Lee (18071870), was the son of Henry Lee III, and probably the most famous member of the Lee family. He served as Confederate general in the United States Civil War. He was married to Mary Anna Randolph Custis, who was a great-granddaughter of Martha Washington and also was Lee's first cousin thrice removed (being a descendant of Colonel Richard Lee the Immigrant through Robert Carter I). R.E. Lee's children included George Washington Custis Lee and William H. Fitzhugh Lee. Other Lee relations who were General Offciers during the Civil War were Samuel Phillips Lee ; Richard Lucian Page ; [Edwin Gray Lee] . Indirect relations of R.E.Lee who were C.S General Officers were William N. Pendleton and Virginia Military Institute graduate William Henry Fitzhugh Payne. But was isn't known so widely is that General Lee's family came from Shropshire, and the family home still exists. For 500 years, the Lee family owned a sizeable chunk of the county in the parish of Alveley, near Bridgnorth. The family, originally-named de la Lee and probably of Norman descent, lived in Coton Hall from the 1300s onwards. The tombs of of two Lees with effigies are in Acton Burnell Church. And it's only because the present-day Coton Hall was put up for sale early in 2003 that the Lees of Shropshire came to light again. Present day Coton Hall was built soon after 1800 for Harry Lancelot Lee, in the Georgian style. At the time the estate ran to 5, 000 acres. Although the present building is only some 200 years old, the Lee family's connections with the land go back 1,000 years. The previous building on the site was also called Coton Hall - and it was from here that Robert E. Lee's ancestors left for America in the 1600s. They originally went there to trade, and one or two returned to England after a few years, but one branch forged new lives for themselves in the young country, acquiring land and power. Two of them, Richard Henry and Francis Lightfoot Lee, were the only brothers to sign the Declaration of Independence. General Robert E. Lee's father was 'Light Horse Harry' Lee, a famous soldier of the American War of Independence, where he was known for his courage in fighting the British. And by a bizarre paradox, he may well have been reponsible for the deaths of soldiers from Shropshire - elements of the 53rd Regiment, which later became the Shropshire Regiment, were all but wiped out and the remainder captured at the Battle of Saratoga in 1777. Light Horse Harry resigned from the army as soon as the British were defeated, and settled down to raise the family that included the young general. Well, maybe that's a little kind - before long he deserted Robert and his mother and left them to fend for themselves in Virginia. Harry bolted to the Caribbean in search of fortune. Robert E. Lee went into military college at West Point and became a career soldier in the U.S. Army. He graduated from the West Point military school with not a single demerit point - something no-one has ever done before or since. He joined the U.S. Army but offered his services to the breakaway Confederates when the American Civil War in the 1860s. This made him a traitor in the eyes of the Union, but Lee sided with the Confederate states because his home state of Virginia was one of them. After four years of war it was Lee who signed the surrender. Lee narrowly avoided trial for treason, but was instead stripped of his rights as a citizen. Despite this he refused to be bitter, doing his utmost to embrace the new United States until his death in 1870. Today Lee is perceived as an American hero, and not just an icon for Virginia or the southern states whose troops he led. He was finally pardoned of any wrongdoing more than 100 years later by President Jimmy Carter. According to the previous owners of Coton Hall, several of Lee's descendents have been to visit and cast their eye over the ancestral seat. But little remains of the house that Robert E. Lee's ancestors would have known. In the grounds of Coton Hall is one of the last remnants of the early buildings - the ruins of a chapel that probably dates from the 13th Century. But it's underground where the strongest traces of the old Coton Hall remain. The house's cellar is two storeys deep and in the lower of the two levels includes the entrance to a tunnel. According to the estate agent FPD Savills, the tunnel runs all the way to Alveley village two miles away, although it's been concreted off beyond the chapel for safety reasons. Coton Hall passed out of the Lee family when Harry Lancelot Lee died in 1821 and the house was immediately sold, ending the Lees' long association with this part of the world. In 1878 the chapel roof collapsed and all the Lee monuments were moved to Alveley church. The house itself was extended in about 1860, when a new wing and an Italianate tower were added, but apart from that the house has survived remarkably well - all the fireplaces and cornices are original, for example. The house, including the 6.5 acres of land it stands in, was sold in 2003 with a guide price of £1.25 million.

James was to have first choice of land, then Samuel the second choice leaving Matthew the last choice. This was for 508 acres. There was a statement that if any one of those three died then son Joseph was to receive that part. I have been unable to determine what happened to this Matthew Knox, but it appears that by 1797, Matthew must have died because at that time, son Joseph deed his 1/3 interest in this land to James and Samuel. In 1812, James and Samuel divided this 508 acres into separate adjoining tracts. James Knox took 260 acres and Samuel took 240 acres.

| 1542 | Joseph Culpepper was born around 1696 in Norfolk County, VA. He moved to Bertie County, NC in the early to mid-1720's, to an area which later became Northampton County. By the late 1730's he had moved to Edgecombe County, NC, where he died intestate around 1745. Since Joseph left no will, understanding the disposition of his land, and the disposition of the land of his brother Benjamin, is central to determining descendants of both lines. Joseph's son Benjamin apparently inherited all of his land by right of primogeniture. See the article on him for further details. Joseph's own ancestry is not in question, as he was a legatee in his father Robert Culpepper's will in Norfolk County in 1743, and no other early Joseph who could have been Robert's son. As mentioned, by 1725, if not earlier, Joseph was in Bertie County, NC, as in August of that year he witnessed two deeds there, one for William Whitehead and one for William Bennett. (Deed Book 1725-1727, B2, B14) Whitehead and Bennett owned land adjacent to each other on the Roanoke River. On 2 Aug 1727, John Bass, Jr., was granted "410 acres on the Northernly side of the Morattock [now Roanoke] River, joining the South side of Bear Swamp," adjacent to Robert House and Joseph Culpepper. (Abstracts of Land Patents by Margaret Hofmann, #2407 in her book, found in Patent Book 3, page 213) On the same day, 2 Aug 1727, Joseph Culpepper was granted 364 acres in Bertie County on the "Northernly parts of the Morratock [now Roanoke] River joining Robert Newsam and Robert House." (Abstracts of Land Patents by Margaret Hofmann, # 2435 in her book, from Patent Bk 3 p. 220) From the two previous grants, we can see that Joseph's land in the 1720's was near Bear Swamp in present day Northampton County, NC. So the land must have been east of NC State Road 305, and less than four miles north of present day Rich Square, NC (founded in 1750). Joseph may have lived in present day Northampton County, NC, from his first arrival in North Carolina, prior to 1725, until after the fall harvest of 1738. The John Bass, Jr., mentioned above, must have been related to Isaac Bass, who, some 30 years later, owned land on Peachtree Creek adjacent to Joseph's brother Benjamin. (Granville Grants Vol IV, by Margaret Hofmann, her no's. 963-5). On 5 Dec 1738, John Edwards [Sr.] of Bertie Pct. [later Northampton County], Esquire, deeded 320 acres in Edgecombe Pct. to Joseph Culpepper, for £16. The land was on the south side of the Morratuck River and the west side of Fishing Creek, and joined the land of Emanuel Rogers. (Abstracts of Edgecombe Pct. Deeds, by Margaret M. Hofmann, her page 26, from Book1, page 291 in Halifax Co. NC deeds Early Edgecombe deeds ended up in Halifax records.) As proven by the grant to the adjacent land owner, Emanuel Rogers, Joseph's new farm was near Beaverdam Swamp and present day State Road 48 and about 13 miles north of Rocky Mount, NC. The grant to Emanuel Rogers, was "on the South side of the Morattock River, joining Beaverdam Swamp (a branch of Fishing Creek). (Province of North Carolina 1663-1729 Abstracts of Land Patents by Margaret M. Hofmann, her # 2537, from Patent Book 3, page 246) Beaverdam Swamp is just south of Fishing Creek and just east of State Road 48. Joseph's new farm was about 30 miles west of his previous land on Bear Swamp in Bertie (later Northampton) County. Culpepper's Bridge, perhaps named for Joseph's nephew Benjamin, is on State Road 48 at Fishing Creek. A few years later, in 1749, William Culpepper got a grant in the same area. (Granville Grants Vol. I, by Margaret M. Hofmann, #645 in her book). Curiously enough, a land entry for a Benjamin Culpepper was adjacent to the land of John Rogers, thought to have been a brother of the above Emanuel Rogers. (Edgecombe County, NC Court Records, February 1741, Book of Rights, file # SS906, found at the NC Archives by Dick Culpepper) John and Emanuel Rogers may have been the sons of John Rogers, Sr., who died in Bertie (later Northampton) County, NC, in 1726. [(Colonial Bertie County, NC, Deed Books A-H, 1720-1757, by Mary Best Bell, page 35 in the book, from Bertie Deed Book B, page 201, "Inventory of John Rogers, November 1726) Most of Emanuel Roger's land was north of Fishing Creek in the Quankey Creek area. John Rogers, Jr. owned land on Little Fishing Creek (a. k. a. Conway Creek), which was also north of Fishing Creek. In 1758 these areas north of Fishing Creek became part of Halifax County. In 1741 Northampton County and Edgecombe County were formed from Bertie County. In January 1741, Joseph Culpepper of Edgecombe County deeded to his brother Benjamin Culpepper, of Edgecombe Co, 160 acres for £8 on west side of Fishing Creek, which was one-half of the John Edwards tract mentioned above. Some 260 years later, this one key deed is the most troubling one to current researchers. One can only speculate why, but this deed does not adequately describe the land involved in this sale. Was this the east half, or the west half, of Joseph's original Fishing Creek property. We may never know. And the question is important. See the footnote to this article, which describes the Fishing Creek deeds in detail. Joseph's cattle brand is recorded in Edgecombe County in 1741 in the "Book of Marks.1 On 27 Feb 1743, Joseph Culpepper took out a land entry for 300 acres in Edgecombe County on the north side of Swift Creek below the mouth of Tuckahoe Branch, including his own improvements. (Tuckahoe Branch on Swift Creek is not mentioned in "The North Carolina Gazeteer," by Powell. It does mention other Tuckahoes, and says that the Tuckahoe was a plant whose roots were eaten by the Indians.) The location of this grant on Swift Creek has not been positively identified. This writer thinks that it was probably near Hilliardston Community, in current day Nash County. This is the point at which Sandy Creek becomes Swift Creek. Back in Northampton County, on 6 April 1745, John Edwards was granted 595 acres on both sides of Bear Swamp, joining Joseph Culpepper's land, and at a point near the mouth of White Oak Branch, Solomon Fuller, William Boon, and the said swamp. (Land Patents, by Margaret M. Hofmann, her # 2839, from Patent Book 5, p. 223) And on 10 November 1745, John Edwards granted 139 acres in Northampton County on both sides of Bear Swamp to Thomas Hayes, for £20. The land joined Joseph Culpepper, Solomon Fuller, and William Boon, and was part of a 595 acre patent to John Edwards dated 6 April 1745. Since Edward's original patent (Patent Bk 5, p. 223, as found in Hofmann, Colony of NC Land Patents, p. 199) also mentioned the same adjacent land owners, this might suggest that Joseph Culpepper still owned his land in Northampton as late as 1745, having moved to Edgecombe County a few years earlier. It is not clear whether Joseph sold this land in Northampton prior to his death in 1745, or whether his widow or heirs sold it after his death. Whoever bought the land, unfortunately, did not record the deed. John Edwards Sr., gave his sons John Jr., and Thomas, land in the Rocky Swamp area north of Fishing Creek, in what later became Halifax County. (Edgecombe Pct. Deeds, by Margaret Hofmann, Book 3, p. 136, and Book 5, p. 192) John Edwards Sr. died in Northampton County in 1765, and his will does not mention a daughter who married a Culpepper. So while Joseph and Benjamin Culpepper lived south of Fishing Creek, some of their acquaintances lived north of Fishing Creek, such as John and Emanuel Rogers. Joseph died in Edgecombe County in 1745. His wife Martha was appointed administrator of his estate in May 1745, and in August was appointed guardian of their four minor children, John, Joseph, Argent, and Sampson. The children were all under the age of fourteen since their guardian was appointed by the court. At the time of his death, Joseph apparently owned one or possibly two tracts of land. He owned the west half of his 320 acre grant on Fishing Creek. And he may have owned a 300 acre tract on Swift Creek, for which no final patent has survived. This writer thinks that he owned both tracts, and that that both devolved by right of primogeniture, to his son Benjamin. See the article on Benjamin for further details. Joseph's widow, Martha, probably continued to live on the west half of the Fishing Creek property until she remarried, around 1751 to Benjamin Dumas. At this point, her son Benjamin sold his half of the Fishing Creek property to his cousin Benjamin, ferryman, whose own widowed mother already lived on the east half of the property. On 21 August 1753, William Wilder sold 100 acres adjacent to the widow Culpepper and the widow Mason and the south side of Fishing Creek. Witnesses were Thomas Mann, Benjamin Culpepper (B was his mark) and Nathaniel Powell (N was his mark). (Edgecombe Pct. Deeds by Margaret M. Hofmann, Deed Book 4, page 531) This land had been a grant to William Wilder on 2 May 1752. (Granville Grants Vol. I, by Hofmann, #1292 in her book, from Patent Book 11, page 304) From the description of the land, we can see that it bounded Joseph Culpepper's original Fishing Creek property on the west. The widow Mason, just mentioned, was probably Hannah, widow of Ralph Mason. (Estate Records of Edgecombe County, NC, by Joseph W. Watson, page 175) Later deeds show Ralph Mason's son Mark living adjacent to the Culpepper farm, so Hannah must have been deceased by then. (Granville Grants, Vol. I, by Hofmann, # 999 in her book, from Patent Book 11, page 237 -- see also #863 and #1292 in this book) Ralph's son, Foster Mason, also lived in this area, and his wife Elizabeth was a widow by this time as well. . William Wilder, just mentioned, had married Elizabeth Culpepper, daughter of Joseph and Martha Culpepper, around 1745. According to testimony in court Martha Culpepper's second husband, Benjamin Dumas died 1 Oct 1763 in Anson County. He did not leave a will. Martha's will has been found in the court minutes of a case filed in Salisbury District by John and Joseph Culpepper, sons of Joseph Culpepper, Sr., against David Dumas, son of Benjamin Dumas and administrator of his estate. Martha's will was dated 23 Jan 1764 and was probated 26 Jan, 1764. (Rowan County Estate Records 1753-1929, under the heading "Benjamin Dumas, 1764" at the NC State Archives) In it she mentioned her "well beloved children" Joseph Culpepper, John Culpepper, Sampson Culpepper, Elizabeth Wilder and Sarah Culpepper. Sampson was called "my youngest son." Elizabeth and Sarah were not mentioned when Joseph died so they must have been over 21 or married. A daughter, Argent, was mentioned in Joseph Culpepper's estate, but not in his widow Martha's will. The best clues we have to Allison's ancestry are in two 1827 deeds in Jackson Co, GA. In Feb 1827, Allison Culpepper sold his 240 acres in Jackson Co, GA, two separate tracts on Candler's Creek, to Ambrose Yarbrough. Witnesses were Joel Culpepper and Dennis Duncan. The tracts had been granted originally to David Allen (40 acres) and E. Marbury (200 acres). The chain of title from these men to Allison Culpepper has not been found (Jackson Co. Deed Bk. L, both on p. 32). The Joel Culpepper who witnessed Allison's deed was the son of Joseph Culpepper III. Ambrose Yarbrough, who bought Allison's land, was a Baptist minister from Anson Co, NC. He was married to Elizabeth Culpepper, apparent daughter of John Culpepper. But Ambrose was closely associated with the family of Joseph Culpepper III, as well. He was a witness to the 1816 will of Joseph Culpepper III in Jackson Co. GA. Ambrose's daughter Frances married James Culpepper, son of the above Joel Culpepper, son of Joseph III. And it is significant that this 1827 record of Allison was in Jackson Co, where Joseph Culpepper III lived. Malachi Culpepper, the other known son of Joseph, Jr., was also connected to Jackson County. He received Revolutionary War Grants there between 1784 and 1793. (Miscellaneous Records of Jackson Co, GA, by Joseph T. Maddox, and Early Jackson Co Court Records). Further research is needed. | Culpepper, Joseph (I3333)

| 1545 | Joseph Knox, son of James and Hannah Knox, was named in his father's will as receiving the plantation on which the father now lives. This is evident in the 1840 census listing of old James and Hannah as there is male living in the household age 30-40 and 1 female age 15-20 and a female under 5 years. Also living in the household is 1 male 80-90 yrs and 1 female 60-70 which are James and Hannah. Living next door to them was Samuel Buie Knox and his family. When Hannah died, she left a will leaving to Joseph all of the household items. From the various census records, i.e. 1850 and 1860, Joseph never moved from his home place. His first wife, Violet B. Simeril (spelled various ways, Simmeral, Simmerel, Simril, Simeril, Simeral, etc) was the daughter of Francis Simeral, who lived on the other side of Samuel Buie Knox. She had died in 1849 and in the 1850 census, Joseph was shown with his three children, Nancy H. Knox, James F. and John S. Apparently he married his 2nd wife, Cynthia T. ? right after the 1850 census taker recorded them as this only child by Cynthia, Tabitha, was born in 1851. It is probable that Joseph married Cynthia in York County, SC as no marriage record for him and Cynthia has been found in Mecklenburg County. It could well be that he married her in Gaston County as those records have not been checked. Many of the Price family married people from Gaston and even one of Samuel Buie's daughters married a man from Gaston County. With Price's ferry almost within sight of their land, it was easier to meet someone from across the river than others in Steele Creek. In 1860 all of the children born before that date, Nancy H., James F., John S. and Tabitha, were living at home with their parents Joseph & Cynthia Knox. The sons of Joseph, James F. and John S. Knox, and younger sons William and Lee, did not leave any known heirs. Joseph Knox was an elder at Pleasant Hill Presbyterian Church. When Pleasant Hill was formed in 1836, the charter members list included many of the Knox name. On that list of first members are Joseph Knox and his brother Samuel B. Knox who was one of the first elders. At some point Joseph Knox became an elder as his tombstone indicates he was a, "Ruling Elder Pleasant Hill Presbyterian Church". This is just one more Knox family that did not have the named carried on in Steele Creek. Only the daughter's married and none of Joseph's sons married to carry on the name. The daughters are not researched further. In the 1830s, 40s and 50s, there were so many Knox families in Steele Creek it was hard to sort them out. By 1900, there was only one or two left. 1850 Census, Steele Creek, Mecklenburg Co., N.C.: Joseph Knox, m., age 45; Nancy, f., age 11; James, m., age 9; John S., m., age 4; Jacob Hankins, m. age 16. Joseph died in 1868, prior to the 1870 census of Steele Creek. The 1870 census has an even greater mystery. Living in an area closer to Pleasant Hill Presbyterian Church was Joshua Boyd and Tabitha Boyd. She was shown as age 19 . Her marriage took place at the home of her mother on 9 Sept 1869. Joshua D. Boyd was the son of Thomas. M. & T. C. Boyd. In the 1970s interview with Uncle Sam and Aunt Kate, he related that Joseph Knox was a brother of his grandfather, Samuel Buie Knox, and that his son Lee ran the Knox ferry that went across the river into where Gaston Co. and York Co. came together.

| 1547 | Joseph R. Culpepper wrote to his cousin, Rev. George B. Culpepper, circa 1910-1915: I wrote to Father [Lewis Peek Culpepper] asking him to give me all the information he could relative to his father, grandfather, etc. He knows nothing farther back than his grandfather who was John.... He says there were three brothers, John, Ben and Joseph. John was my great grandfather as was Joseph, also, on my mother's side.... John William was my father's father and your father's grandfather.... What I have stated is absolutely correct as far back as my two great grandfathers." Since it seems possible that the designation of the younger John Culpepper as "John William Culpepper" might have come from a family history whose facts have not been substantiated. John Culpepper, the subject of this book will be designated as John Culpepper [1772-1855]. Although there are records of Joseph and Ben Culpepper in South Carolina, no record has ever been found of a brother namd John Culpepper. Lee R. Gandee, a Lexington, SC genealogist, in a 23 May 1974 letter to Billy W. Dunn, a Culpepper descendant, wrote that the Lexington Culpepers were "an early and now extinct family here. Little is known, as our records were almost all lost in the Civil War, both here and in the parent District, Orangeburg, when Yankees burned the courthouses.... No church records remain, either...." Joseph Culpepper, a presumed brother of the elder John Culpepper, was living on Thom's Creek in what is now Richland County, SC at least as early as 1767. Sometime prior to 1785 Joseph moved across the Congaree River to the eastern part of Orangeburg District, SC, where he owned land on Sandy Run Creek and south of the creek on Bull Swamp, which flows into the Edisto River. The area became Lexington District, SC in 1804 and is near the present town of Sandy Run in Calhoun County. Revolutionary War records place Benjamin Culpepper, the other presumed brother of the elder John Culpepper, in South Carolina at least by 1778. In the 1850 census of Randolph Co., AL (p. 386, family 189) John Culpepper [1772-1855], the presumed son of the elder John Culpepper, listed his own place of birth as South Carolina. This would place the elder John Culpepper and his wife in South Carolina by 1772. In the 1880 census, which was the first to ask about the place of birth of the parents of the person listed, two of the oldest living children of John Culpepper [1772-1855], John Jefferson Culpepper and Sarah O. Culpepper Elliott, also listed John's place of birth as South Carolina but a middle son, Francis G. Culpepper, listed his father's place of birth as North Carolina as if he might have remembered hearing of a family connection to North Carolina. Joseph R. Culpepper in his letter to the Rev. George B. Culpepper noted that John Culpepper [1772-1855] came to South Carolina from Virginia. Again, this was probably a reference to information from a Culpepper family history which was in circulation at the time that he wrote the letter, indicating that the family came from Culpeper Co., VA. But no records of Culpeppers have been found in Culpeper Co., VA except for Lord Culpeper whose heir was a daughter who married Lord Fairfax. Since no records of the elder John Culpepper have been found in South Carolina, there can only be speculation about him based on circumstantial evidence. Both Joseph and Benjamin, the elder John's presumed brothers, were on the 1790 census in Orangeburg District, SC. John Culpepper [1772-1855], the elder John Culpepper's presumed son, and Joseph, the elder John Culpepper's presumed brother, are listed with their families living near each other (p. 560 & p. 561) in the 1800 census of Lexington, SC. This suggests that Joseph was indeed related to Ben and John [1772-1855]. Since the elder John Culpepper does not show up in the 1790 census of South Carolina, there is a possibility is that he died between 1772, the year John Culpepper [1772-1855] was born, and the 1790 census. Since no mention has been found of brothers and sisters for John Culpepper [1772-1855], it is possible that his parents, or at least his father, died young and since John Culpepper [1772-1855] emerges in the 1800 census as a neighbor of Joseph, it is possible that John [1772-1855] was raised by his presumed uncle, Joseph Culpepper. In the 1790 census, Joseph had three males over age 16 in his household. Joseph is only known to have had one son, Joseph Richard Culpepper, who is believed to have been born circa 1794. A letter in Joseph's Revolutionary War Pension file (#R 2565) states that Joseph's son, Joseph R. Culpepper, was "the only legatee" of Joseph Culpepper. This leaves the possibility that John Culpepper [1772-1855] was one of the three males listed in the Joseph Culpepper household in 1790 as over 16. John Culpepper [1772-1855] would have been 18. Also in 1807, Joseph Culpepper secured a bond for John Culpepper [1772-1855] when John was named administrator of the estate of Daniel Peek. This suggests close family ties between the two. | Culpepper, John (I3187)
