| 1651 | Luther L Herron In the Pennsylvania Death Certificates, 1906 -1963 Report issue Name: Luther L Herron Gender: Male Race: White Age: 59 Birth Date: 20 Oct 1859 Birth Place: Anderson South Carolina Death Date: 18 Sep 1919 Death Place: New Kensington, Westmoreland, Pennsylvania, USA Father Name: John Herron Father Birth Place: South Carolina Mother Name: Sarah Herron Mother Birth Place: South Carolina Certificate Number: 94691 "...when Scotty pulls out some old news paper clippings. There was a funeral announcement for L.L. Herron, who was my father's father. My grandfather, your great grandfather. (The L.L. stands for Luther Lee). I had always thought that grandfather Herron had died when my father was very young. Wrong! He was 60 years old when he died of pneumonia while working in Springfield, Pa. He was working for the government, building a railroad (engineering). He was a carpenter by trade, widely known in the Gadsden area as a music teacher. My father was working in Akron, Ohio when his father died. Mother met daddy in Springfield and they brought the body back to Gadsden for burial. The paper said ... "Mr. Herron was a Mason, a church man and a good, conscientious christian gentleman. He was as upright and honest as the days are long and no man was more respected by the people of this city."

| 1654 | Lydia has been suggested as the mother of Joseph, John and Benjamin Culpepper of South Carolina since she appears to have been a widowed woman who owned land near Joseph in South Carolina. 22 Aug 1771, Lydia or "Liddy Cullpeper" received a royal land grant (Royal Grants Vol. 24, p. 199) "on the Fork of Wateree and Congaree River on a Branch Called Griffins Creek. Bounding North Westwardly part on John Griffin and part Vacant land - Southeastward on lands unknown and all other Sides on Vacant land." See http://gen.culpepper.com/theories/Eastover. PDF for a plat of her land and surrounding landowners. Since Lydia was granted land in her own name, this suggests that she was a widow at the time the land was granted. Since her presumed son, Joseph, held land in his own right and her other presumed sons, John and Benjamin, have not been identified in pre-Revolutionary land records, it is possible that they were living together on Lydia's land as an extended family. Lydia's maiden name and place of birth are unknown, however, based on a study of extant records of Culpepper's in South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia, and known migration patterns of other families in South Carolina about this time, Lydia was probably born and married in North Carolina. The names John, Joseph, and Benjamin Culpepper were used in several Culpepper families that appear to trace back to Robert Culpepper of Norfolk Co., VA. While some members of the line remained in Norfolk Co., VA, other members of the line appear to have moved across the North Carolina border to Northampton and later Edgecombe County. From there various branches moved to Anson Co., NC, South Carolina and Georgia. Lydia may have been related to one of the families that were living near the Culpepper's in Edgecombe / Granville County on Fishing Creek, Sandy Creek, Mocassin Creek, or Peach Tree Creek, such as the Strothers, Richardson's, Masons, Thompsons, Powell's, Ward's, Wilders, Foreman's, and Rowell's, to mention a few. Since no will has been found, there is only circumstantial evidence based on extant records to suggest that Lydia's husband was Benjamin Culpepper, Jr. and that they married around 1741 on Fishing Creek in Edgecombe County, North Carolina. Sometime between 1754 and 1767, Lydia and her sons, and possibly her husband Benjamin Jr., as well, moved to South Carolina, either Orangeburg or Camden District. By 1771, Lydia was in Camden District where, as noted, she was granted 350 acres on Griffin's Creek in 1771. She was mentioned on a tax record there in 1775 (Leon Hollingsworth Collection). Her date of death is not known. She did not appear as a head-of-household in the first U. S. census in 1790 although she might have been one of three women noted living with her probable son, Joseph Culpepper. | LNU (Culpeper), Lydia (I3298)

| 1656 | Magazine of Virginia Genealogy: Vol. 31 No. 1 Legislative Petitions Hanover County: October 23, 1778: Sundry parishioners of the Parish of St. Paul in Hanover County request that their vestry be dissolved and that an act be passed to limit the term of office of vertrymen. Their vestry had been appointed under former government and had not been elected by parishioners themselves. The petitioners state that they want a more democratic system of operating the church. For instance, their present vestrymen brought in a rector of their own choice and the parishioners had no voice in the matter even though they were the ones who were responsible for raising the money for his salary.

| 1659 | Malcolm III ascended the throne of Scotland 17 March 1057-58, after slaying MacBeth at Lumphanan, County Aberdeen, Scotland, 15 Aug. 1057. Under him, the provinces acquired by Thorfinn again came under native rule. Malcolm died 1093. He was killed by the English at Ainwick. Malcolm Canmore ('great head' or 'chief') was the eldest son of Duncan I. After his father's death, he found refuge in England with his uncle Siward of Northumbria, where he stayed for more than 14 years. His first wife was Ingibjorg, widow of Earl Thorfinn of Orkney. She died, and in about 1070 he married Margaret, great-niece of King Edward the Confessor of England. She had sought refuge in Scotland with her brother, Edgar the Atheling (Anglo-Saxon heir to the English throne), when William I excluded him from the English succession. Margaret had a strong influence over her husband, who revered her piety and secretly had jewel-encrusted bindings made for her religious books, which he himself was unable to read, never having learned to do so. He also substituted Saxon for Gaelic as the court language. According to Margaret's biographer, she corresponded with Lanfranc, Archbishop of Canterbury, brought Benedictine monks to Dunfermline and did away with local usages in the Scottish Church. Margaret also began building what was later to be known as St Margaret's Chapel, situated on the highest part of Edinburgh Castle. Malcolm was determined to extend his kingdom southwards and take advantage of the upheaval caused by the Norman Conquest. Making the excuse that he was supporting the claim to the English throne of his brother-in-law Edgar Atheling, Malcolm invaded England five times (he was a formidable warrior-king, having killed his two predecessor kings). Three times defeated, Malcolm was forced under the treaty of Abernethy in 1072 to become 'the man' of the English king and give up his son Duncan as a hostage. Malcolm and his eldest son were finally killed in battle at Alnwick, Northumberland on 13 November 1093, aged about 62. His wife died when they brought her the news at Edinburgh Castle. She was canonised in 1249. After Malcolm's death, the frontier between the kingdoms of Scotland and England was clearly defined for the first time. Anglo-Norman influence in Scotland was promoted by the subsequent marriages of Malcolm's sons to English brides. | Of Scotland, "Canmore" Malcolm III (I8267)

| 1661 | Maldred, son of Crinan the Thane, was born about 1004, and married, about 1030, Aldgitha, daughter of Uchtred, Earl of Northumberland and granddaughter of AEthelred, King of England, who was the great-great- grandson of Alfred, King of England. Maldred's successors were, therefore, directly descended from Alfred the Great. Maldred was brother, as well as neighbour, of "the gracious Duncan," who was King of Cumbria for about sixteen years before he succeeded his maternal grandfather, Malcolm II as King of Scotland on the 25th November, 1034. He had three sons: (1) Gospatric, who succeeded him; (2) Robert, Prior of Hexham; and (3) Uchtred, also Prior of Hexham. Maldred died about 1066. | Of Dunkeld, Maldred (I8467)

| 1669 | Margaret Easley, daughter of Robert and Ann (Parker) Easley, was probably born c. 1686-1692. She m. (1) before 1711, Thomas Dupray, as is indicated by her father's will. Margaret Easley had more than one child by her marriage to Thomas Dupray, as indicated by the Henrico Co., Va. Orphans' Court Book, transcribed by Pauline Pearce Warner, p. 109. Thomas Dupray died before 1725, and Margaret (Easley) Dupray remarried before 5 October 1725 to James Watson, as evidenced by the Orphans' Court Book. (Joyce Lindsay, Henrico Co. Marriages, transcribed the name of the second husband as James Walton, but a search of the original record by Charles Hughes Hamlin confirmed the name of the second husband as James Watson. There was a James Watson listed 1746 in Goochland Co., Va. with 3 tithes. It is not know if it was the same man, nor has an estate been located with will or administration. It is not known if there were children by the second marriage. Weisiger, Colonial Wills of Henrico Co., Va., Vol. I, p. 80, "Henrico Co. Wills & Deeds 1710-1714," p. 20, shows the will of Thomas Paine, 29 April 1710, witnessed by Susannah Howlett, Margrea Deupey, Thomas Howlett. Recorded 1 August 1710. The only other court record of Margaret Easley is in 1720, when she witnessed the will of John Barnes in Henrico Co., Va., as Margaret Dupraye.

| 1675 | Margaret, despite her appellation, was born a Saxon in 1046 and raised in Hungary. She came to England in 1066 when her uncle, King Edward the Confessor, died and Margaret's brother, Edgar Atheling, decided to make a claim to the English throne. The English nobles preferred Harold of Wessex over Edgar, but later that year Duke William of Normandy made it all rather a moot point by invading England and establishing himself as King. Many members of the English nobility sought refuge in the court of King Malcolm III Canmore of Scotland, who had himself been an exile in England during the reign of Macbeth. Among the English refugees were Margaret and Edgar. While King Malcom was hospitable to all his new guests, he was rather more hospitable to Margaret, marrying her in 1070 to make her Queen of Scotland. Margaret impressed not only Malcolm but many other members of the Scottish Court both for her knowledge of continental customs gained in the court of Hungary, and also for her piety. She became highly influential, both indirectly by her influence on Malcolm as well as through direct activities on her part. Prominent among these activities was religious reform. Margaret instigated reforms within the Scottish church, as well as development of closer ties to the larger Roman Church in order to avoid a schism between the Celtic Church and Rome. Further, Margaret was a patroness both of the célidé, Scottish Christian hermits, and also the Benedictine Order. Although Benedictine monks were prominent throughout western continental Europe, there were previously no Benedictine monasteries known to exist in Scotland. Margaret therefore invited English Benedictine monks to establish monasteries in her kingdom. On the more secular side, Margaret introduced continental fashions, manners, and ceremony to the Scottish court. The popularization of continental fashions had the side-effect of introducing foreign merchants to Scotland, increasing economic ties and communication between Scotland and the continent. Margaret was also a patroness of the arts and education. Further, Malcolm sought Maragret's advice on matters of state, and together with other English exiles Margaret was influential in introducing English-style feudalism and parliament to Scotland. Margaret was also active in works of charity. Margaret frequently visited and cared for the sick, and on a larger scale had hostels constructed for the poor. She was also in the habit, particularly during Advent and Lent, of holding feasts for as many as 300 commoners in the royal castle. King Malcolm, meanwhile, was engaged in a contest with William the Conqueror over Northumbria and Cambria. After an unsuccessful 1070 invasion by Malcom into Northumbria followed by an unsuccessful 1072 invasion by William into Scotland, Malcom paid William homage, resulting in temporary peace. William further made assurance of this peace by demanding Malcolm's eldest son Donald (by Malcolm's previous wife Ingibjorg) as a hostage. Time passed, William the Conqueror died, and The Conqueror's son William Rufus took the throne of England. Hostilities again arose between Scotland and England, and in the ensuing unpleasantness Malcolm was killed along with Edward, the eldest son of Malcom and Margaret. Margaret had already been ill when Malcolm and Edward went off to battle. Her surviving children tried to hide the fact of their deaths, for fear of worsening her condition. But Margaret learnt the truth, and whether due to her illness or a broken heart, Margaret died four days after her husband and son, on November 16, 1093. The death of both King and Queen led, unfortunately, to yet another unpleasant disagreement, this time over who should take their places on the throne. The most likely candidate was Malcom's eldest son Donald, the one who had been taken hostage by William the Conqueror. This was also the favorite candidate of William Rufus, for during his stay in England Donald had developed a favorable view of the Normans. However, Donald's claim to the throne was contested by Malcom's brother, Donald Bán, together with Malcom and Margaret's son Edmund. Donald Bán was opposed to having a Norman sympathizer on the throne of Scotland, and claimed the throne for himself. Both Donald MacMalcom and Donald Bán held the throne briefly, and lost it violently, before Edgar, son of Malcom and Margaret, came to the throne. He was succeeded by his brothers, Alexander and David. Alexander smoothed over relations with England by marrying the daughter of King Henry I and arranging for Henry to marry Alexander's sister Matilda. Edgar and David carried on their mother's reputation for sanctity, both in their service to the poor and their patronage of religious orders, and David was later canonized. Quite a celebrated family when you consider that Margaret's uncle is also known as Saint Edward the Confessor. Margaret herself was declared a saint in 1250, particularly for her work for religious reform and her charitable works. She herself was considered to be an exemplar of the just ruler, and also influenced her husband and children to be just and holy rulers. She was further declared Patroness of Scotland in 1673. In her position as queen, all Margaret's great influence was thrown into the cause of religion and piety. A synod was held, and among the special reforms instituted the most important were the regulation of the Lenten fast, observance of the Easter communion, and the removal of certain abuses concerning marriage within the prohibited degrees. Her private life was given up to constant prayer and practices of piety. She founded several churches, including the Abbey of Dunfermline, built to enshrine her greatest treasure, a relic of the true Cross. Her book of the Gospels, richly adorned with jewels, which one day dropped into a river and was according to legend miraculously recovered, is now in the Bodleian library at Oxford. She foretold the day of her death, which took place at Edinburgh on 16 Nov., 1093, her body being buried before the high altar at Dunfermline. In 1250 Margaret was canonized by Innocent IV, and her relics were translated on 19 June, 1259, to a new shrine, the base of which is still visible beyond the modern east wall of the restored church. At the Reformation her head passed into the possession of Mary Queen of Scots, and later was secured by the Jesuits at Douai, where it is believed to have perished during the French Revolution. According to George Conn, "De duplici statu religionis apud Scots" (Rome, 1628), the rest of the relics, together with those of Malcolm, were acquired by Philip II of Spain, and placed in two urns in the Escorial. When, however, Bishop Gillies of Edinburgh applied through Pius IX for their restoration to Scotland, they could not be found. The chief authority for Margaret's life is the contemporary biography printed in "Acta SS.", II, June, 320. Its authorship has been ascribed to Turgot, the saint's confessor, a monk of Durham and later Archbishop of St. Andrews, and also to Theodoric, a somewhat obscure monk; but in spite of much controversy the point remains quite unsettled. The feast of St. Margaret is now observed by the whole Church on 10 June. Feast Day: June 10 (celebrated November 16 in Scotland) | Of Atheling, Margaret (I8278)

| 1678 | Marriage Notes for James Simpson and Martha Morgan: The James Simpson "Family Bible" records show that he married Martha Ann Pointher (Painter?) on 6 August 1850. There is another marriage certificate to show that a Martha Morgan was married previously to Joel Painter in 1846 in St. Clair Co., AL, and that , prior to her marriage to Joel Painter, Martha's name was Morgan. It appears that Joel might have died shortly after their marriage, or that the marriage was somehow dissolved. There are no marriage records found, to date, for James Simpson and Martha Morgan, and this is likely due to Martha being required to use her previously married name of Painter for her marriage to James Simpson. By information on another marriage certificate, James Simpson and Martha Painter were married on 6 Aug 1850. In the 1850 Census, Martha Morgan is found living in close proximity to James Simpson. The Census taker has listed Morgan for Martha's last name, even though at the time, Martha "should" have listed her married name of Painter. The relationship is not stated but I would presume her to be the daughter of Orason Morgan, page 112B dwelling #150. Martha Morgan's birth year was 1831, and her birth year varies with each census, but has also been listed as 1831. The children, listed for Martha and James, have their mother's maiden name as Morgan, not Painter, stated on their death certificates. | Simpson, James (I2190)

NAME ORIGINS OF MCCOY: NOTES FROM The McCoy/Mecoy Family Website: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~mccoyhistory/index.html#WILLI S WILLIS MECOY (ca. 1735-1800) Willis Mecoy was born in the 1730's, and lived in Craven County, NC. In the 1750's he served in the North Carolina Militia. His first wife's name is unknown, however in 1796, he married to Keziah Peters Achlin and she is listed executor of his will. He died in 1800, in Craven County, North Carolina, leaving 10 children, who were mostly grown with families of their own. Most left the area in the following years to pioneer the U.S. with the exception of William and his offspring. Willis McCoy is the first of my line that I can verify. I have several ideas about his parentage, however at the moment I haven't been able to prove them. His Children: John Mecoy, born about 1770. He married Mary Beesley and settled in Rutherford County, TN, along with the Beesley family. He died on March 16, 1815, near French Camp, Mississippi, while serving in the War of 1812. Hardy Mecoy, born about 1772. He married a Tempey Mecoy (his cousin) in 1802. Willis Mecoy born 1768. He married first Elizabeth Ecclen in 1791, then married Holland Daughty in 1795. Together with the Taylors and the Ecclen's they moved to Butler County, Ky. Delana Mecoy Daughty - she married Emphiam Daughty. Edward Mecoy Sarah McCoy Betsy Mecoy Lewis Mecoy - He married Charlotte Shute in 1794. It is unknown where they settled. Hudley Mecoy William Mecoy - He married Cordillia and died in 1802. His family stayed in Craven County and his descendants still live in Craven County, Cove City, NC. On June 11, 1836, an equity suit begins in the Circuit Court in Butler County. Eleven old, fragile, yellowed pages survive in the Kentucky StateArcives, recounting the complaint of Mark Whitaker (plaintiff) that Willis McCoy (defendant) grievously assaulted him. This is an especially interesting lawsuit, because Whitaker must be a relative of McCoys in some way, Williss oldest daughter Levicia (Lovicey) having married Henry Whitaker, but we dont yet know the relationship between Henry and Mark. At any rate, Whitakers account of the event is recorded, in part, as follows: "Said Defendant with force and Arms on the __ Day of June 1836 Assaulted the said Pltff. and with great force and violence Seized and Laid hold of the said Pltff by the nose and greatly Squeezed and pulled the same And there with a certain Sword with great force and violence Struck and wounded the said pltff And the said Deft then and there with a certain Scythe blade with great force and violence struck the said pltff a great many violent blows upon Divers parts of his the said pltffs Body And then and there the said Cut and wounded the said pltff in Divers parts of his body (to wit) his arms, Shoulders breast and legs By means of which Several (p---?) the said pltff was then and there great (hurt?) Bruised and wounded and became and Still is Sore Sick, lame and disordered. . . . And . . . with great force and violence on the __ Day of __ at the circuit and county afsd with a certain Scyth blade Struck the said pltff a great many violent blowes And then and there wounded him the said pltff so badly that he was unable to get off of the ground And the said Deft then and there Seized and took from the said pltff with great force and violence a certain bag or purse of Money containing $700--Mescican [Mexican?] Dollars and other wrongs the Said Deft then and there did Against the peace and Dignity of the Cometh [Commonwealth] whereby the said pltff is Demanding $2000 And therefore he sues." | McCoy, Willis B.

| 1681 | Married first W.J. Adams, the father of Charlie Ross Adams; married second Robert L. Tanner; married third Joseph Nathaniel Wilson. From Carroll County Times, Friday, January 20, 1882: Married on Jan. 17th by Rev. J. R. T. Brown at the residence of W.H. Barnett of our town, Mr. R.L. Tanner to Miss Fannie Adams.

| 1682 | Married in 1302 while still in her teens, Elizabeth spent the first several years of her marriage in and around the Court of Edward I, no doubt wondering if her husband's secret plans of revolt would be discovered. Then, in 1306, after war had started and she had escaped to Scotland, she was captured by the English forces and held prisoner for eight years. During her captivity, she probably did not know if her husband was alive or dead. Only the position of her father, Richard Earl of Ulster, kept her from harsher treatment. As a prisoner, she was moved from the Yorkshire manor of Burstwick in 1308 to Bistelsham in Oxfordshire, from there to Windsor in 1312, and finally to Rochester prison in 1314. Allowed only the attendance of a few elderly ladies and often short of food and furniture and clothing, her conditions were such that at one point she complained to King Edward that she had "neither attire for her person or head nor a bed nor furniture of her chamber." Her husband must have seemed like a stranger when she was released in a prisoner exchange in 1314 after the Battle of Bannockburn. Robert The Bruce wanted a male heir for Scotland, but for the next several years she was not to have a child. Finally, on 5 March 1324, Queen Elizabeth gave birth to a boy who was christened David in honor of his great ancestor King David I who had help establish the Bruce family in Scotland long ago. After years of not having a permanent residence, Robert and Elizabeth built a manor house for their family. They chose the village of Cardross on the north side of the Firth of Clyde, close to Dumbarton, as the site for their new home, which was built on land purchased from the Earl of Lennox. It was not a fortified castle, but a substantial dwelling with hall, king's chamber, Queen's chamber, chapel, kitchen and larder. The roof was thatched and it had the luxury of glazed windows. There was a garden, a hunting park, an aviary for the royal falcons and a slipway for the King's yacht. Elizabeth stood by her husband through all the years of warfare, but she was not there at the end to share in his triumph. She died on 26 October 1327, but she lived long enough to know that he would succeed. She was buried in Dunfermline Abbey, Scotland and less than two years later, her husband was buried beside her.

| 1696 | Mary Wallace, the daughter of Jane Wallace, a widow with two daughters, who died in 1736. In her will, Jane Wallace mentions two daughters: Mary Alexander and Hannah, who married George Welsh. Mary Alexander is buried in the churchyard of the Head of the Christian Church. The tombstone inscription reads: "here lies the Body of Mary Alexander, wife of Moses Alexander Dyed ye 25th, of October, 1758 Aged 58 years" It is possible that this Mary may have been his second wife. In his will, Moses Alexander singles out a granddaughter named Hannah for a special bequest, not naming any of his other grandchildren. She may have been named for his first wife. Mary also seems to have been quite a few years younger than her husband. Moses Alexander died in Cecil County, MD, 1762. His will, dated 2 February 1762, was filed December 1762 (Source: Hall of Records, Annapolis, Maryland, Book 31, p. 820). No wife is named, as she preceded him. -- MERGED NOTE ------------ | Wallace, Mary (I5212)
