1757 Notes for King of Aethelwulf England, King of:
Aethelwulf, King of England. Aethelwulf was King of England 839 - 858
(Stuart, Royalty for Commoners, Page 171, Line 233-40). AKA:
Aethelwulf, King of Wessex. AKA: Aethelwulf, King of Kent. Born: circa
806 in Wessex, England, son of Egbert, King of England and
Redburga=Raedburh N? (Stuart, Royalty for Commoners, Page 171).
Married circa 839: Osburh of England, daughter of Olac, Princerna
Regis of England. Aethelwulf visited Rome in 839. Osburh was his first
wife. Annulled he and Osburh of England: in 853. Married on 1 Oct 856
in Wessex, England: Judith, Princess De France, daughter of Charles
II, King De France and Ermentrude D'Orleans (Stuart, Royalty for
Commoners, Page 171). Ruled Kent for his father and on accession
joined Mercia in prolonged wars against Danish Viking invaders,
winning a major battle at Oakley in Surrey (851). Ethelwulf's gold
ring can be seen in the British Museum. His younger brother Athelstan
ruled Sussex, Surrey, and Kent (839-c851). On returning with his fifth
son Alfred from a pilgrimage to Rome (856), Ethelwulf was made to
share the throne with his son Ethelbald, the first of four in
succession who became King of Wessex. Died: on 13 Jan 858 in England
(Stuart, Royalty for Commoners, Page 171).

ETHELWULF (d. 858) was the son of King Egbert of Wessex and reigned as
sub-king in Kent from 825 and then over Wessex from 839 until 858.
During his reign the Danish raids on England increased in size and
frequency. There were attacks on Southampton and the coast of
Dorsetshire in 840; on Kent in 841; on London, Rochester and
Southampton in 842; on Somersetshire in 843 and again in 845; on
Devonshire in 850. In that year a Danish army wintered in England for
the first time, on Thanet. In 851 they stormed Canter-bury and London
before being Defeated by Ethelwulf in Surrey. Kent was attacked again
in 853. In 854-55 the Danish host once more wintered in England, on
Sheppey. This is to list only the known descents upon the territory of
Wessex and its dependencies. Other parts of England suffered too.
Lindsey and East Anglia were attack-ed in 841, King Redwulf of
Northumbria was killed in 844, King Beorhtwulf of Mercia was Defeated
in 851 and we hear of a Danish army active in the inland parts of
Mercia, in Shropshire, in 855.
Ethelwulf and his subjects put up a stout resistance to the Danes. But
it was exceedingly difficult to make effective provision for resisting
an enemy whose forces were big, well-equipped and above all mobile.
Other rulers in western Europe faced the same dilemma. It is
instructive, as ever, to set the English experience in a continental
context. The Viking bases on Thanet and Sheppey were mirrored in those
of Dublin and Noirmoutier; attacks on trading communities like
Southampton and London were matched in raids on Dorestadt, Quentovic
and Rouen; and after wintering in England in 850-51 the Danes crossed
to Francia and wintered there in 851-52. The West Saxon kings of the
ninth century had much in common with their Frankish neighbours. Not
surprisingly, Ethelwulf had Dealings with them. Two letters of the
Frankish abbot, Lupus of Ferrieres -himself a pupil of a pupil of
Alcuin, reveal that Ethelwulf had a Frankish secretary named Felix.
When Ethelwulf married for the second time in 856 his queen was
Judith, daughter of the West Frankish king Charles the Bald.
Ethelwulf's second marriage took place while he was on his way back
from a pilgrimage to Rome in 855, accompanied by his youngest son
Alfred. The contemporary biography of Pope Benedict III (855-58) lists
the treasures which Ethelwulf offered at the shrine of St. Peter: they
included among much else a golden crown, a sword chased with gold,
precious vestments and hangings decorated with gold embroidery. We are
also told, by Asser in his Life of Alfred, that Ethelwulf undertook to
make an annual payment of three hundred gold pieces to the see of
Rome; as Asser pointed out, this was 'a great sum of money.' The
pilgrimage and the offerings demonstrate Ethelwulf's piety and
generosity. They also show that he was very wealthy. The same
impression is given by other sources. The correspondence which Lupus
of Ferrieres had with Ethelwulf was occasioned by his desire to secure
a present of lead for roofing the monastery church at Ferrieres: and
Ferrieres was an important monastic house, not beneath Alcuin's
notice, its church probably an ample one with a roof which would
require no small quantity of lead.

Ethelwulf's most lavish act of piety at home in England consisted in a
series of grants of lands and privileges to the churches of Wessex in
854. The documents which purport to record these grants are peculiarly
difficult to interpret, they are the most baffling of all Anglo-Saxon
royal charters, and there is no agreement among scholars about what
was going on. But what is plain is that Ethelwulf was a king who could
afford to be generous where the royal lands were concerned. We can
just make out a little of why this should have been so. Asser tells us
that Ethelwulf took steps to ensure 'that his sons should not quarrel
unnecessarily among them-selves.' He does not tell us exactly what
these provisions were, but the will of his son Alfred, drawn up in the
880s, casts a little light on the matter. Ethelwulf planned that his
sons should succeed one another as kings of Wessex. Each reigning king
was to be permitted by his younger brothers a life-interest in their
share of the dynasty's landed wealth. In this way the union between
the family property of the royal house and the office of king would be
preserved. The reigning monarch would be assured of a substantial
royal demesne, that is, of the material resources for effective rule.
The constitutional implications of the scheme may not have presented
themselves clearly to Ethelwulf. He was perhaps simply seeking a
harmonious solution to a new set of circumstances, for while he and
his father had been only children, or only survivors, he had fathered
five sons, at a time of national danger when the preservation of a
strong kingship was essential. Ethelwulf had only to look at his
Frankish neighbours to see what might happen if some such steps as
these were not taken. What the scheme presupposed was patient
restraint on the part both of the temporarily disinherited younger
sons and of the children of elder sons.
Harmony within the dynasty was probably a good Deal more frail than
our very discreet sources choose to reveal. While Ethelwulf was absent
from England in 855-56 his eldest son Ethelbald plotted against him
with the Bishop of Sherborne and the ealdorman of Somerset. Whether
Ethelbald disapproved of his father's dynastic schemes or feared the
possibility of offspring of his father's recent second marriage is not
clear; but the results were serious. When Ethelwulf returned, his
direct authority was confined to Kent and the south-east, while
Ethelbald ruled in Wessex. As it so happened, Ethelwulf's plans did in
the event work out well. On his death in 858 Ethelbald succeeded him
and his younger brother Ethelbert ruled as a sub-king in Kent. On
Ethelbald's death, childless, in 860, Ethelbert succeeded to the whole
kingdom. On his death, childless, in 866, his brother Ethelred
similarly. On Ethelred's death in 871 the youngest of the brothers,
Alfred, succeeded. But Ethelred had not died childless, and his son
Ethelwold was to try to supplant his cousin Edward, Alfred's son, a
generation later.
Doubtless the success of Ethelwulf's plan owed much to bio-logical
accident. Of his five sons one predeceased him, three others died
fairly young, and two of these three were childless. Yet that
Ethelwulf could diagnose the sources of dynastic insecurity and take
effective measures to neutralise them showed intelligence and
Political courage. Ethelwulf has been dismissed by an eminent
historian of the Anglo Saxon period as 'a religious and unambitious
man for whom engagement in war and politics was an unwelcome
consequence of rank.' This judgement seriously underestimates him. He
was a forceful and capable ruler whose achievement was the essential
precondition for the doings of his more famous son Alfred.
 		Of Wessex, AEthelwulf (I8953)
 
1758 Notes for King of Egbert of England, King:
Egbert, King of England (Stuart, Royalty for Commoners, Page 170, Line
233-41). AKA: Egbert 'the Great'. Born: in 775 in Wessex, England, son
of Eahlmund=Edmund, King of Kent. Egbert was King of England 827-836,
King of Wessex in 802 and Under-King of Kent from 784 to 786. Married
before 806: Redburga=Raedburh N? Died: on 4 Feb 839 in Wessex,
England.
EGBERT (d. 839) was King of Wessex from 802 until 839. He claimed
descent from Ingild, a brother of King Ine of Wessex. His father was a
certain Ealhmund who ruled briefly in Kent c. 784 in opposition to
Offa of Mercia. When King Cynewulf of Wessex died in 786, Egbert
disputed with Beorhtric for possession of the king-dom. Beorhtric,
Offa's protege, came out on top and Egbert departed into exile at the
Frankish court. On Beorhtric's death in 802 Egbert returned and
established himself as King of Wessex in a successful revolt against
Mercian ascendancy.
Egbert ruled an independent Wessex for the next twenty-three years, of
which we have little record. This was succeeded by a period of
frenzied activity. In 825 he Defeated King Beornwulf of Mercia at the
battle of Ellendun (probably Wroughton in Wiltshire) and immediately
afterwards sent his son Ethelwulf eastwards to wrest Kent, Surrey,
Sussex and Essex from Mercian overlordship. He also received an appeal
for protection from the East Anglians who had rebelled against the
Mercians. The Mercian empire seemed to be falling apart as rival
claimants contended for kingship over the next few years. In 829
Egbert conquered Mercia and went on to lay waste part of Northumbria
and exact submission and tribute from its king Eanred. For a short
period he was overlord of all the English kingdoms. But in 830 Mercia
threw off West Saxon lordship and for the rest of his reign Egbert's
direct authority was restricted to Wessex and the south east.
It has sometimes been claimed that Egbert was the first 'King of all
England'. But this is absurd. The notion is based upon the treat-ment
of Egbert in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, put together in the form in
which we have it at the court of Egbert's grandson Alfred and
concerned above all else to magnify the exploits of the West Saxon
royal dynasty. Mercian supremacy did not end with Offa. Ninth-century
Mercia may have been subject to dynastic instability, as which
Anglo-Saxon kingdom was not? But it could still produce some imposing
rulers such as Cenwulf (796-821), Wiglaf (827-40) and Beorhtwulf
(840-52). Further to the north the Northumbrian King Eanred (808-40)
continued to rule a kingdom stretching from the Humber to the Firth of
Forth: the submission to Egbert in 829 had no lasting effect.
Nevertheless, Egbert's reign is an important one. In the first place,
he consolidated West Saxon domination over the remaining British
princes of the southwest in a series of campaigns in 815, 825, 830 and
838. Secondly, his annexation of south-eastern England in 825 was to
be permanent. Kent became a dependency where West Saxon princes could
learn the business of kingship: just as Egbert entrusted Kent to his
son Ethelwulf, so after his accession in 839 Ethelwulf placed his son
Athelstan in authority there. Egbert and Ethelwulf were at pains to
cultivate good relations with the archbishops of Canterbury; they had
learnt the lessons of Offa's failure in this respect. In particular,
they tried to ensure that the see of Canterbury should be
well-disposed not just to individual kings of Wessex but to the
dynasty as a whole; in their own words in a charter of 838, 'that we
and our heirs for ever afterwards may have firm and unbroken
friendship from the archbishop and all his successors.' They wanted to
break free from the snares of dynastic instability and discon-tinuity
which plagued Mercia, Northumbria and their Frankish neighbours over
the Channel. That they succeeded in doing so no doubt owed much to
luck, but also something to shrewd management. Finally, Egbert showed
that he could cope with new enemies, the Vikings. They ravaged the
Island of Sheppey in 835, and Defeated him at Carhampton in 836. But
when in 838 they made common cause with the Britons of the south-west
Egbert Defeated them at Hingston Down in Cornwall. In the last battle
of his life, Egbert showed that the Danes were vulnerable.

Taken from MEDIEVAL HISTORY & CIVILIZATION by Daniel D. McGarry.
By the ninth century, Wessex had become the strongest of the
Anglo-Saxon kingdoms. It came to the fore under EGBERT (r.802-839),
who became Bretwalda and is often reckoned as the first King of
England.
Taken from ACADEMIC AMERICAN ENCYCLOPEDIA.
EGBERT, d. 839, King of Wessex, laid the foundations for the
ascendancy of WESSEX among the English kingdoms. At first an
unsuccessful claimant to the Wessex crown, he finally became king in
802. EGBERT Defeated the Mercian king Beornwulf at Ellandune (825) and
briefly (828-29) held the kingdom of Mercia itself. He was also
recognized as king in Kent, Surrey, Sussex, and Essex and received the
nominal submission of Northumbria. The later years of his reign were
marked by frequent Danish raids on England.
Taken from ANNALS AND ANTIQUITIES of The Counties and COUNTYL FAMILIES
OF WALES by Thomas Nicholas
With the establishment of the kingdom of Mercia the affairs of
Flintshire come out to the surface with some distinctness. That before
this time the Saxons had ravaged these parts is in some measure proved
by the desolating visit of Austin and the hosts of King Ethelbert to
Bangor Iscoed in the sixth century. Edwin of Northumbria and Egbert of
Wessex, also, who had both effected a kind of temporary conquest in
North Wales, doubtless for a time held Flintshire. But Offa made a
serious business of the conquest of a portion of the territory, and to
this day hasleft obvious proofs of his earnestness and determination
in the rampart of "Offa's Dyke," a line of Defence which cut off from
the Welsh the best part of the tract now called Flintshire. Whether
this vallum, remains of which are traceable from near Caergwrle to the
shore near Holywell, is more properly called "Offa's Dyke" or "Watt's
Dyke," is a question still sub judice; but be it the one or the other,
the work is a monument of most strenuous doings, a long scar on the
face of Flintshire reminding us of the bloody onslaughts of King Offa
and his Angles.



 		Of Wessex, III Ecgbert (I913)
 
1759 Notes on wife of Joseph Cobb:
Joseph Cobb was born circa 1594.1,2 He married Elizabeth.3 He probably married Elizabeth Flinton circa 1624 in Virginia.1 He died circa 1653.

Joseph Cobb, the first of this family in Virginia came over on the Treasurer from London in 1613.4 Owned jointly by Captain Samuel Argall and others, the Treasurer is famous as the ship on which Argall made Pocahontas prisoner in 1613, taking her to Jamestown "for the ransoming of so many Englishmen as were prisoners of Powhatan..." (her father). Although Joseph Cobb was not granted land under the status of Ancient Planter in any record now surviving, his date of arrival in the colony would entitle him to be so classed.

No record has been found of Joseph's activities in Virginia between his arrival in 1613 and the muster of Virginia settlers in February 1624/25 in which he is listed at Elizabeth City with his wife Elizabeth, who had come in the Bone Bess in August 1623. Both are given as aged 25, but Joseph was older. He does not appear among the living (or dead) in the census taken in February the year before, so he was apparently either missed or out of the country. He had perhaps returned to England for his wife and two sons for whose passages, as well as those of four servants, and by his own right, he was granted land in 1637. (It was often years before patents were recorded).

The questions beg then, if Elizabeth Cobb, by that name, was in Virginia in August 1623, six months before the census was taken in February 1623/24, why does she not appear therein, and where was Joseph? An answer to the first question, accepted by some, rejected by others, is that Elizabeth Cobb in the 1624/25 muster appears as Elizabeth Flinton in the earlier census with two other Flintons, Pharow (Pharaoh) and Joane, who in 1624/25 were neighbors of Joseph and Elizabeth Cobb in Elizabeth City. If so, it follows that Joseph Cobb married twice, and probably both times to an Elizabeth as that is the name of his wife recorded on the 1637 patent. It seems a reasonable guess that Joseph was in Europe at the time of the first census, that he soon returned to Virginia with his family, and that his wife, if she survived the passage, soon died leaving Joseph free to marry Elizabeth Flinton before the second census. It should be noted however, that there is no direct proof that Joseph married more than once, or that he married Elizabeth Flinton. Nevertheless, circumstantial evidence does exist that supports both ideas.

Both Pharaoh and Joane Flinton appear in the muster, so a reasonable explanation for Elizabeth Flinton not appearing among the living or the dead in 1624/25, is that she had married. There were only about 1,232 persons living at 25 locations in Virginia at that time, but there were undoubtedly a number of men whose wives were named Elizabeth. However, only one, Joseph Cobb, had a wife Elizabeth and a son Pharaoh. That Pharaoh Cobb was named for Pharaoh Flinton is certain as there were no other men in the colony at that time by that name or any of its variant spellings. Therefore, it seems almost certain that Joseph Cobb married Elizabeth Flinton, but it doesn't prove the relationship between Elizabeth and Pharaoh Flinton. Some believe he was her brother; others, her father. However, if their ages as given in the 1624/25 muster are correct, Pharaoh was only eleven years older than Elizabeth, and therefore, could not have been her father. Futhermore, Pharaoh and Joane arrived in Virginia together in 1612, eleven years before Elizabeth. That they would have left their child behind for so long seems unlikely.

All this having been said, there is one more possible scenario that comes to mind. It could be called the one wife theory. As already mentioned, there is no record of Joseph between his arrival in Virginia in 1613 and the 1624/25 muster. Perhaps he returned to England periodically, or once for an extended period, married Elizabeth Flinton and fathered two sons before finally returning to Virginia with his family. He may have been out of the country again in 1623/24, during which time Elizabeth stayed with the Flintons and was incorrectly called Elizabeth Flinton in the census. This theory, if it has any merit, could account for there being no record of Joseph Cobb having been granted land under the status of Ancient Planter. (Those persons who arrived in Virginia before 1616, remained for a period of three years, and paid their own passage have been referred to as ancient planters. They received the first patents of land in the new world as authorized by Sir Thomas Dale in 1618 for their personal adventure).

1761 Notes: Daughter of Barnabas & probably his second wife, Martha
Adams. Mary appears to have been a bit wayward, favoring seafaring
gentlemen without benefit of clergy, according to Ben, who places her
as born in 1797 ( by date on tombstone).
(1) However, Wilbur's grandmother told him that his g.g. grandmother
Mary ran an inn/tavern and a traveling saleman (men) was/were the
father(s) of her children. At any rate, she has at least six
children and never bothered to marry.
(2) It is family history that she left West Virginia in a covered
wagon in the mid-1800's and headed for Georgia with her family (others
say Charleston). The family stopped to camp in Oconee Co, S. C. near
the Anderson Co. line, liked what she saw and stayed.
(3) Lived remainder of her life on the farm at north edge of
Townville, S. C. (See William Samuel's notes on land grand of 1850 in
Oconee Co. for more probable accounting of this move. )

Her birthdate coincides with the date of birth of an unnamed daughter
of Barnabas in 1800-1820 Census reports, (1795-1804). Some records
indicate that at least William Samuel, and probably Jesse, were born
in Union Co. and did not move to Townville area till 1850.

If she was a daughter of Barnabas, she would have been born in Union
County. If she was born in Virginia she would almost have to be a
granddaughter of Samuel which seems unlikely given the poverty of any
information about Woolbrights in the 1790-1800 records of Virginia
other than that of Barnabas and Jacob till 1791; plus mention of
Samuel's household being restricted to two males during the 1790s,
they being under age 20 in 1799 and nothing after 1802, with no
mention of a wife. All of Jacob's children are accounted for with
good records. It seems more likely that she may have been traveling
from Union Co. S. C. rather than Virginia and that the mention of her
forebears being from Virginia was as mis-stated as her birthplace.

If she was not Barnabas' daughter, one needs to consider that Samuel
probably had either sons or grandsons in Union County, prior to the
arrival of Barnabas in 1792-73, who could have been her father but
here again there are no records to support or suggest this as a
reasonable likelihood. As a daughter of Barnabas, there is a problem
assigning her to a mother. She could have been the last chld of
Elizabeth Saunders Woolbright, albeit being near the extreme of
childbearing age.
Otherwise, she is the first child of Barnabas' second wife, Martha
Adams. The seven year interval between the births of Mary and Jesse,
suggests the likelihood that Mary was Martha's first child and
Elizabeth died sometime during or before 1795.

The Gordon Co. Ga. Census of 25 June 1860 lists an Asa C. Woolbright,
age 25, [c1835] farmer, born in S. C. as was his wife, Harriett, age
23, a domestic. Children noted were Mary A. age 3 [1857] and William
F. age 9 months, [1860] both born in Georgia. No other parent
remotely likely
either as Jacob or Barnabas's children. Assigned by Allie Mae
Woolbright Earle as a child of Mary's. She also lists the following
as Mary's children: Sarah C. (Sally) b. 28 Sept 1818;
Elizabeth (Betty) Austin Chambers (she lost husband and son in the
Civil War and married Billy Chambers), & John H. Woolbright, b. 18 Mar
1845 (Apparently disappeared for years and was found by Will
Woolbright, living in Ala.) John's birthdate (or parentage) is in
error, or Mary is having children at a rather late age!

(Some fanciful family accounts relate a trip by covered wagon from
Virginia (some records say West Va.) to Oconee Co. with her children
and stopping for the night to camp on Coneross Creek. While she
appears to have been on her way to Georgia (?) (or Charleston by some
reports) she
apparently liked the local country she saw at the camp site and
decided to stay. She had apparently ran an Inn/Tavern in Virginia
(West Virginia) and the father of her children was a traveling
salesman (probably of Irish decent). Why was she in Virginia and why
was she going to Georgia?
Every indication is that she was born in Union Co. S. C. There is
every indication that all Woolbrights had left Virginia shortly after
the turn of the nineteeth century. Most records suggest that she came
with her son, William Samuel, in 1850 when he moved to Oconee Co. to
take up claim
to a land grant.

The fact that she ran a boarding establishment of some type and had a
number of children without benefit of Clergy is generally established.
Travel by covered wagon was the common mode of getting about in those
days as was the nightly need to establish a camp. However, her
business site was most probably Union, S. C. and her move to the
Townville area was a planned event. But it makes a good family yarn
that the women folk would prefer to ignore, according to Ben and
Wilbur Woolbright.

Mary died in the Farm Home near Townville, Oconee Co., SC.

1762 Notes: The Rev. Asher Shelton (Source:wshelton111)
Asher Shelton is the oldest known child of Jeremiah and nancy(asher) Shelton. Asher was born in Virginia. and in 1797-1798, he moved with his father into the Logan co., - butler co. ky area.
Asher married in1798 to Mary Green , and in 1799 is found on the Butler co. ky. saveyors books as owning land along the Sandy creek and Big Muddy River area. In this area(and on ajoining land ) his father Jeramiah, and brothers Joshua, Abednigo, Jesse, Jeremiah jr., and Glibert. Also his sisters Rhoda (shelton) Gough, and Elizabeth (shelton) whitaker were all living in this area with there families. It is noted that Jeremiahs children all lived along the Sand Creek until 1815. At this time , there wasa a complete disbursement of the family to different areas of Kentucky, and after 1815, only Jeremiah and Ebednigo are found still living in Butler co.
From 1799 to Ashers departure in 1813, he was a constitutional member of the Sandy Creek Baptist Church. Asher is found in the origanal church minutes as a founding member, along with his brothers Joshua and Jesse.Also william Gough, husband of Rhoda (shelton) Gough Ashers sister. Asher was an Ordained minister of the Baptist Church in 1805, thus he was ordained some time before , possibly in Virginia. Asher left Sandy Creek in 1807 , and from 1807to 1813, it is unknown which church he attended , however it would probably be one of the several churches that were formed from Sandy Creek congregation in early 1800,s.
Asher was very active in Sandy Creek Church. He was voted as a delegate to the Baptist Church Convention in 1805, and in 1812, he returned Sandy Creek to participate in Ordaining John P. Taylor as a minister. Asher was joined in doing this by Rev. Benjamin Tolbert and Rev. Joseph Taylor (husband of a daughter of rhoda (shelton)Gough). He recieved his license to perform marriages in Butler co. ky. in 1810 sept.
Around 1813 , Asher moved into the Allegre-sharon Grove area. At the time , this was part of Christian co. ky. but in 1820, it was sectioned off and became what is now Todd co. ky. Asher stayed in this immediate area from 1813 until his death in late 1852. From the time Asher arrived in Todd co. area until 1834, he was associated with tha Mount Carmel Baptist Church. At this time, records of MT. Carmel Church havent been found, and any imformation on this church would be greatly appreciated.
In 1834, Asher Shelton, along with his 2 son -in -laws John C. and William Hearn and families, broke or left the Mt. Carmel Church and formed thier own congregation. This group met at church built between Sam Duvalls home and Mt. Carmel Church until 1850, at Blacks School house and Wades School house from 1850-1856, and was officially named the New liberty Church in 1854. During the years from 1834 to 1852, Asher served as minister in the the congregation , and also brought his son Jesse into the membership as a minister of the gospel. After Ashers death Jesse continued to preach in the church untill 1856. In thius year, the church met with another congregation and organized itself for union purposes( anti-slavery in the civil war), and at this time, Jesse left. The church continued to its disbanding in the early 1930s.
During his years in Todd Co. , Asher also serverd as a school teacher of note. From 1825-1830, Asher taught at J.M. Peppers Schoohouse, and during this time , Ashers son Jesse also functioned as a school teacher at the same place.
Asher was widely known and active in the central Kentucky area , and he has been found on official county records in , Butler, Logan, Todd, Christian, and Muhlenburg counties. As a minister, Asher performed marriages in Butler, todd, Logan, Muhlenburg counties of Kentucky, and his records are found extensively in his first marriage book of Todd co. ky. It is also an interesting note that Asher performed the marriages of three of his sons , John Bunyan, Crispen, and Ralph. He also gave a poetic written consent for his daughter Magdelene to marry John C Hearn. Also , it is noted that Asher performed the marriages for many of Sheltons married in Central Kentucky during this time.
The 1880 Texas census states that William was born in GA. Georgia was
not a state until 1777.

Joseph Embry Deupree having moved to Texas with his brothers and
sisters before the War, was a law student when the War started. He
enlisted in the 1st Mississippi Cavalry with the understanding that he
could transfer to a Texas unit. In February, 1863, he transferred to
Willis' Battalion of the Texas Cavalry. He was captured in August of
that year and spent the duration as a prisoner of war at Ft. Delaware.
He later returned to Texas, graduated from Baylor University and

1766 Obituary
Kevon Trevor Mordecai passed away on January 24, 2021 after a brief hospital stay. Kevon entered this world on March 28, 1969, into the loving arms of parents wanting a child they were unable to create. From the start, he impressed his parents with a bubbly curiosity and heart of a warrior wielding his imaginary sword with finesse from the moment he could walk, which carried forward to the ends of his days. Kevon packed a lot of living into his 51 years. Although his time here was brief, he left a huge impression on all whose paths he crossed. His life journey led him through adventures far outside of the traditional family life. Growing up, Kevon visited and lived in many places throughout the US, giving him much life experience at a young age; he always felt like an old soul. He spent the last 35 years living in Georgia. After graduating from George Walton High School 1987, Kevon spent several years working as a contractor for Comcast. He shifted careers in the early 90’s, where he, his longtime companion Peggy Walton, and other partners managed Cobb Antique Mall. Kevon loved a challenge and met them all with determination and grit. One of his biggest challenges and rewards was in 2003; he and Peggy turned an old grocery store into what would become the largest antique consignment store in Woodstock - Southern Antique Gallery. This was a labor of love for them both and brought them both much joy and fulfillment. Here he enjoyed the many people, who came as clients but left as friends, grilling steaks out back for dealers, working hard alongside Peggy and making people laugh. Everyone loved him. The gallery operated successfully until its closing in 2011. Kevon was blessed with many family members and friends throughout his life, who will miss him more than he could ever know. Under his tough exterior and quick wit, Kevon had a heart of gold. He was an advocate for the underdog and always ready to stand up for those in need. He had a great sense of humor and loved to make others laugh, one of his favorites was quoting outrageous lines from Monty Python’s the Holy Grail or the Meaning of Life. He was preceded in death by Bobbye Stegen (mother), John Stegen (stepfather), Trevor Mordecai (father), Peggy Walton (companion), Dr. Trevor P. Mordecai and Charlotte Walker Mordecai, Clyde and Robbie Lee Williams, Kermit and Lois Stegen (grandparents). He is survived and will be missed terribly by Martha Mordecai (stepmother), Mary Cote-Stegen (stepmother), siblings Page Barker (Pat), Brooke Herron (Gilbert Lorenzo), Lee Herron, Dana Herron (Pete Ormond), cousins Melanie Thomas, Michael Thomas, Nathan Quinn, Susan Ellison and Robin Wilson, nieces Jennifer St. Charles (Victor), Lindsey McLaughlin (Marc), Emiliano Soto (great nephew). In addition, he is survived by his greatest joy, “grands” Jack, Jesse, and James Walton, to whom he was affectionately known as Uh Oh. He will also be remembered and missed by numerous friends who loved him deeply. Due to the current pandemic, there will not be a public service. His ashes will be spread and have a celebration of life will be held at a later date. Kevon spent the last 4 years waging a valiant battle against kidney disease. In lieu of flowers, we ask that you please consider making donations in Kevon’s memory to American Kidney Fund at www.kidneyfund.org 		Mordecai, Kevon Trevor (I2970)

a grandson of Samuel.

Mrs. J. W. (Ira Gay) Deam of Gay, GA, preserved John Jefferson
Culpepper's birth data from John Culpepper, Senior's Bible and Mrs. D.
W. (Lavyn Wright) Sisco transcribed the information as follows: "John
J. Culpepper b. November 4, 1797 on Saturday at 10 o'clock A.M.

John Jefferson's parents are believed to have been living in
Orangeburg District, SC at the time of his birth in an area which was
designated Lexington District in the 1800 census and which later
became Lexington Co., SC. In the 1800 census, John Jefferson's father,
John Culpepper, was listed as a head of household with his young
family, including, John Jefferson Culpepper, in Lexington District,
SC. By 1810, John Jefferson's parents had moved the family back across
the Congaree River to Richland District, SC. Possibly this took place
in 1807 when John Jefferson's father, John was made an administrator
of Daniel Peek's estate. John Jefferson was recorded with his parents
in the 1810 census of Richland District, SC. Some time after this
census, John Jefferson would have moved with his parents to Edgefield
District, SC which shared a portion of its eastern border with
Lexington District, SC.

Although no record has been found, John Jefferson Culpepper is
believed to have married Catherine Bell by 1816 in Edgefield District,
SC where their parents owned land. A son, born circa 1817, gave his
place of birth as Georgia in the 1850 census. Although it is possible
that the couple moved to Georgia and returned by 1820 when their next
child was born, it is more likely that the son, who was not living
near his parents at the time of the 1850 census, simply knew that he
had grown up in Georgia and said that he had been born there.
Unfortunately, neither John Jefferson nor his father, John Culpepper,
has been located as a head of household in the 1820 census of South
Carolina or Georgia. However, since John Culpepper, Senior was granted
land in Edgefield District, SC in 1814 and he sold land there in 1823,
the family is presumed to have still been in South Carolina in 1820
and it is possible that John Jefferson and Catherine were still in
Edgefield District, SC in 1820 as well, living near Catherine's
widowed mother, Barbary Bell, but overlooked in the census.

John Jefferson's father, John Culpepper, is known to have moved his
family to Georgia when son, Lewis P. Culpepper, was about seven years
old meaning that the family probably moved in the Fall of 1823. John
Jefferson and Catherine (Bell) Culpepper presumably moved their young
family to Georgia about this same time although when Barbary Bell,
Catherine (Bell) Culpepper's mother, died in 1826, John Jefferson and
his wife apparently returned to South Carolina to settle the estate.

A land lottery was held in Georgia in 1827. In order to take part in
the lottery, John J. Culpepper would have to have been in Georgia for
at least three years, i.e., at least since April 1824. As a married
man and a citizen of the United States and who had lived in Georgia
for three years, John Jefferson would have been eligible for two draws
in the lottery. According to Land Lottery Register No. 11 published by
Grantland & Orme, on April 2, 1827 "John J. Culpepper" from Captain
Turner's District, Monroe Co., GA drew lot #230 which was 202 ½ acres
in District 5 of Section 1, Lee Co., GA. The land was in Randolph
County, GA when John sold it: "JOHN J. CULPEPPER of Upson Co. to
REUBEN BYNAM of Randolph Co. Lot #230, 5th
Dist. Wit.: Eldridge Glabonip, William Caper, J.P." (Randolph Co. GA
Deeds)

John moved to Upson Co., GA where he is found in a 27 Feb 1829 land
record (A 434/5) deeding the Lee County land to his father, John
Culpepper, for $5.00: Georgia_______This Indenture made the 29th day

Culpepper's father and therefore, John Culpepper, Sr. Since John
Culpepper, Senior was literate and at least two copies of his
signature are known to exist, it is unlikely that the "C" was his
mark. If the middle initial was "C." the name was not passed on to any
of his sons although there was a grandson and a great-grandson named
Charles William Culpepper. There was a John Cowan Culpepper, a son of
Sampson Culpepper, but he is believed to have been living in Laurens
Co., GA at this time and he had no known connection to John Jefferson

________________________Recorded this 12th May 1829

"John J. Culpepper" was listed in the 1830 Upson Co., GA census with
his wife and 1 male 10-15 years of age, 1 male 15-20 years of age, and
1 female 10-15 years of age. The older boy has not been identified. If
a son, then John Jefferson and Catherine (Bell) Culpepper would have
to have married when they were 11-16 years of age and the son has not
been identified in later census records. But the age would also match
that of John Jefferson Culpepper's younger brother, William Henry
Culpepper, who has not been found in the 1830 census and who married
in 1831 in Upson Co., GA.

As a fortunate drawer in the 1827 lottery, it is not clear that John
Jefferson Culpepper was eligible for the 1832 Gold Lottery unless for
some reason he was considered NOT to have "taken out a grant for said
land lot." In any event "John J. Culpepper" won Gold Lot 380 in
district 19 of section 3. This would have been a 40 acre lot near the
lower center border of Paulding Co., GA. It is not known if John
Jefferson ever mined his Paulding Co., GA land or if he sold it but by
1840 he had moved on to Chambers Co., AL. Possibly the family moved in
1835 or 1836 along with John J. Culpepper's brothers, Francis and
James. Or perhaps the family moved in 1837 after the marriage of John
Jefferson's son, John J. Culpepper. The elder John J. Culpepper was
listed in the 1840 census of Chambers Co., AL. One male and one female
40-50 were recorded, presumably John and his wife, Catherine. Two
males 5-10 and one female 15-20 were listed in the household,
presumably the three younger children, Robert, William and Elizabeth.
The "John J. Culpepper" recorded in the 1840 census of Upson Co., GA
(1m 0-5 1m 20-30 1f 15-20), was a son of John Jefferson and Catherine
(Bell) Culpepper who was born approximately 1817, who married
Elizabeth Stallings in 1837, and who would have had a son, Lewis L.
Culpepper, who would have been approximately two years old in 1840.
The John Jefferson Culpepper family remained in Chambers Co., AL at
least until 1850 when John Culpepper was listed as a farmer in the
1850 Chambers Co., AL census with his wife, Catherine, and son,
William. Their daughter, Elizabeth, who had married Robert Johnson,
was living next door.

In the 1850 census, John Jefferson Culpepper was listed as having real
estate valued at $300. However, 22 Aug 1850 "John J. Culpepper" bought
or was granted 139 46/100 acres of land (Certificate or Warrant
68.157) in the South East part of Section 3 of Township 22 South,
Range 10 East of Randolph Co., AL. This land appears to be to the
northwest of what is now Wadley and southeast of Almond. The land
appears to be split from the southeast corner to the northwest corner
by route 77. Presumably, John Jefferson Culpepper moved with his wife
and youngest sons to Randolph Co., AL about this time. However, the
second marriage of William Washington Culpepper, John Jefferson and
Catherine (Bell) Culpepper's youngest son, took place in Chambers Co.,
AL Dec 1855 at the home of William's brother, Robert J. Culpepper, and
John Jefferson Culpepper was a bondsman. Possibly, since John
Jefferson lived close to the Chambers Co., AL border, he just went
back for the occasion. In 1860, John J. Culpepper was listed with his
wife, Catherine, and grandson, John J. Culpepper, at Almond P. O. near
Louina (now Wadley), Randolph Co., AL. John J. Culpepper was listed in
the 1870 census of Louina P. O. (now Wadley) Randolph Co., AL. John
was living near the families of his two sons, Robert and William and a
grandson, John Jr. According to p. 112 of Historical Records of
Randolph County, Alabama 1832-1900 from the 12 Feb 1875 issue of the
Randolph Enterprise the following had their land sold for taxes: On
March 1, 1875 the property belonging to the following named persons
was to be sold at public auction to the highest bidder from the Court
House in Wedowee... BEAT VIII _____Township 21, Range 10... John J.
Culpepper... W. W. Culpepper....

John Jefferson Culpepper would have been 77 years old when he lost
this land which was north of the land he purchased or was granted in
1850 and John Jefferson apparently still owned land nearby since he
was noted in the 1880 census of Randolph Co., AL. John William
Culpepper wrote in an 18 Aug 1994 letter that Mrs. John (Edith
Champion) Zuber, a great-great granddaughter of John Jefferson
Culpepper, told him that John Jefferson Culpepper lived on the land
which Mrs. Zuber's mother's sold in 1950.

John William Culpepper wrote 18 Aug 1994 that he had located Mrs. John
(Edith Champion) Zuber, a great-great-granddaughter of John Jefferson
Culpepper. John William believes that the land that Edith's mother,
Mrs. M. A. (Inez Culpepper) Champion, sold in 1950 was the land that
had originally belonged to John Jefferson Culpepper's father, John
Culpepper. The land appears to have been a 58.84 acre lot which was
noted as Fraction C of section 14 in Township 22 Range 10 of Randolph
Co., AL. The land is south of Wadley on the Chambers County line and
Route 22 crosses diagonally through the bottom half of the land. It
was originally granted to William Culpepper 21 Feb 1850. Mrs.
Champion's grandfather, William Washington Culpepper, a son of John
Jefferson Culpepper, would have been only 15 years old at that date so
it is assumed that William Henry Culpepper, John Jefferson Culpepper's
brother, was granted the land. John Culpepper, Sr. is known from
census records to have been living near present day Wadley in 1850 and
an extant letter from him to a son, Francis G. Culpepper, indicates
that he owned land in the area but only his sons show up in land
records. Since John Culpepper, Sr. had "broken up housekeeping" by
1853, it is assumed that he was living on one of the parcels that was
in the name of one of his sons. John William wrote of a visit to Mrs.
Champion's former property: You will see that rt. 22 leaves Wadley in
a Southwesternly direction. The home of current residents, Mr. and
Mrs. J. T. Edge, is approximately 3/4 of a mile from Wadley, on Rt. 22
[near the Chambers Co., AL line]. I don't know how far east the
property extends [it appears to extend to a point where a secondary
road branches south to Chambers Co., AL], but I believe it extends
north to Hutton Creek [it appears to cover about 2/3 of the distance
from the Chambers Co., AL border to Hutton Creek].... Mrs. John Zuber,
(Edith Champion Zuber) daughter of Inez Culpepper Champion [Mrs. M. A.
Champion], daughter of Robert Benjamin Culpepper, son of William
Washington Culpepper, son of John Jefferson Culpepper advises that her
mother sold the property to Mrs. Edge's father in the 1950's.... She
said that John Jefferson Culpepper lived at the place with his wife
and two sons and remained there after their sons moved to Sand
Mountain [Marshall Co., AL]. John and his wife are buried at the
Concord Baptist Church Cemetery, located half way between Wadley and
Roanoke, Alabama [John Jefferson Culpepper and his wife, Catherine,
are not listed in an index to Concord Church Cemetery records possibly
because the graves were unmarked or because the markings can no longer
be read].... Mrs. Zuber stated that her mother lived at the home place
until her husband died and a few years after but found it too much
work and moved. It was after she moved that the house on Rt. 22 burned
to the ground.

In a 3 May 1994 letter, John William Culpepper wrote of attempting to
locate the location of the house: We located the owner of the property
and his wife a Mr. J. T. Edge and his wife Marian.... J. T. Edge took
up back of his home over a hill and a short way down the other side of
a dirt road where a house used to be. We found the well and a few
cedar trees but no visible ground parks of a home. This was the
location site mentioned by a lady they talked with who identified the
Edge Place as being the former Culpepper property and residence of
John and Nancy [Nancy appears to have died in Georgia before John came
to Alabama]. We noticed that about 150 yards east of the Edge house,
which fronts on State route 22, there stands two tall rock chimneys
approximately 45 to 50 feet apart. He took us to the site and said the
log house was large with a dog trot in the middle and when they came
here there were people still living in the house. He said a nearby
well which was covered with branches is 90 feet deep. The Edge house
is the location of the original house but a few feet further back from
the semi circular drive. The original house burned and scorched the
nearby trees which he said were planted by Charles Culpepper the
botanist who moved to the Washington area. The old road used to go
between the inside of the drive and the current road, Rt. 22. Facing
the Edge home on the left of the house but on the other side of the
old road was a carriage shop and on the east side of the drive was a
blacksmith shop. Mr. Edge said the property was a Culpepper land
grant....

Mrs. Deam and Mrs. Sisco preserved the Bible record of John Jefferson
Culpepper's death: d. May 4, 1885.

The Concord Baptist Church cemetery is about 3 ½ miles east of where
John Jefferson Culpepper was living, on Route 22, on the opposite side
of the Tallapoosa River. It is on the same side of the river as the
now defunct town of Louina which was replaced about 1900 as a
population center by Wadley on the opposite of the river. Is it
possible that this is also where John Culpepper was buried?

1778 Occupation: Shoemaker, blacksmith. Jesse spent time in Texas after
the war.

Some records have him born on 27 Feb 1827. He enlisted in the
Confederate Army at Camp Pickens, 20 July 1861. His leg was
amputated above the ankle, in a Richmond, VA military hospital, two
days after being wounded at Gaines Mill, Battle of Cold Harbor, Va.
on 27 June 1862.
He was a private in Co D, Orr's Reg't., 1s S. C. Rifles. On 11 Aug
1864, he appeared before Col. Brown of the 14th S. C. Vol. Anderson
Co. for an affidavit that he had lost his leg and was requesting an
order for an artificial limb. He was an in-transit patient at
Wayside General Hospital, Charlottesvile, Va. on 21 Sept 1864, in
furlough status. Upon reaching Seneca railroad station, he walked to
Townville on his wooden leg and crutches.

Some records indicate he was born in Union Co. S. C. At any rate he
apparently lived in Union Co. prior to 1850 when he moved to Oconee
Co. with his brother, William S. Woolbright. His tombstone reads -
age 51 years, 2 months, 26 days. Died 29 Dec 1879.

In Pickens Co. Dist. Census of 1860 he is shown with wife Jane. In
1870, they had moved to Fork Twp. Anderson Co. S. C. Had a tendency
to come home intoxicated and Jane was known to have knocked him out
the back door a few times as she could not abide this kind of behavior
in her home. He either fell (or was pushed) off an elevated back
porch in an intoxicated state which resulted in his demise.

Darlington County, Eliza C. Ervin and Horace F. Rudisill, eds.)
.
In 1779 Francis is named on a Jury List for Cheraws District, which is
attached to Manuscript Act #1127, a new list to replace the one made
up in 1778 (South Carolina Magazine of Ancestral Research, Vol. V, No.
1, Winter 1977, p.13)

According to a Bible in the possession of Miss Olivia Moore, of
Kollock, Marlboro Co, SC, Francis Gillespie was born in December
(torn, but probably 1744-1746). And from the same source, he died in
April 1780 (South Carolina Historical & Genealogical Magazine, Vol.
33, p. 177).

1785 Otto succeeded his father as king of the Germans in 936. He arranged
for his coronation to be held in Charlemagne's former capital, Aachen.
According to the Saxon historian Widukind of Corvey, at his coronation
banquet, he compelled his four most powerful dukes to act as his
personal servants, Arnulf of Bavaria as a stablehand, Herman of Swabia
as his cupbearer, Eberhard III of Franconia as a steward, and Gilbert
of Lorraine as chamberlain.

In 938, a rich vein of silver was discovered at the Rammelsberg in
Saxony. This ore body would provide much of Europe's silver, copper,
and lead for the next two hundred years, and this mineral wealth
helped fund Otto's exploits throughout his reign.

Otto's early reign was marked by a series of ducal revolts. In 938,
Eberhard , the new duke of Bavaria, refused to pay Otto homage. When
Otto deposed him in favor of his uncle Berthold , Eberhard of
Franconia revolted, together with several of the Saxon nobility, who
tried to depose Otto in favor of his illegitimate half-brother
Thankmar. While Otto was able to defeat and kill Thankmar, the revolt
continued the next year when Gilbert duke of Lorraine swore fealty to
King Louis IV of France. Meanwhile, Otto's younger brother Henry
conspired with the Archbishop of Mainz to assassinate him. The
rebellion ended in 939 with Otto's victory at the Battle of Andernach
, where the dukes of Franconia and Lorraine both perished. Henry fled
to France, and Otto responded by supporting Hugh the Great in his
campaign against the French crown, but in 941 Otto and Henry were
reconciled through the efforts of their mother, and the next year,
Otto withdrew from France after Louis recognized his authority over
Lorraine.

To prevent further revolts, Otto arranged for all the important
duchies in the German kingdom to be held by close family members. He
kept the now-vacant duchy of Franconia as a personal possession, while
in 944 he bestowed the duchy of Lorraine upon Conrad the Red , who
later married his daughter Liutgard. Meanwhile, he arranged for his
son Liutdolf to marry Ida, the daughter of Duke Herman of Swabia, and
to inherit that duchy when Herman died in 947. A similar arrangement
led to Henry becoming duke of Bavaria in 949.

1786 Our earliest record of Richard is his marriage to Johanna Rogers in
Charlestown. The South Carolina Historical and Genealogical Magazine,
Vol. XII, October 1911, No. 4, page 208, Abstracts from records of the
Court of Ordinary:
"This is to Certify [to] whom it may Consearn that Mr. Richard
Oglethorp & Johanna Rogers were Married according to ye Common prayer
book of ye Church of England September ye 5th--1704 by Edward Marston,
Minister de Charlestown. Entered this Ninth of September 1704 by Jno.
Barnwell, D: S: (Page 92)"

Prior to September 1704, Johanna Rogers' first husband, Tempest
Rogers, died. From the above reference, page 214, we find: "July 19,
1706, Richard Oglethorpe and Lieutenant-Colonel George Logan executed
a bond to Governor Johnson for Oglethorpe's proper administration of
the estate of Tempest Rogers (page 107)."

In the Calendar of State Papers, Colonial Series, America and West
Indies,1706-1708, item 53, we find: [Richard] Oglethorp wrote from
'Caroliner' on January 27, 1706, a letter headed "An account of
persons trading with pirates." The greater part was concerned with
Captain Tempest Rogers, whom Oglethorp accused not only of voyaging
with Captain Kidd but of becoming a naturalized Dane, so as to trade
as a neutral with the French and Spaniards, whom the English were then
fighting.

According to Oglethorp, "Jno. Lucas, that lives in Antigua, went to
St. Thomas [in the Danish Virgin Islands] and did macke up account
wth. Capt. Rogers, he being Attorney for ye owners in London, and was
paid to a penny and did give a discharge in full in behalfe of ye
owners, which is contrary to law, when he knew what he was, etc. Lucas
being a Justice at that time, Capt. Rogers drew a bill on Capt.
Collihorne [another Antiguan whom Oglethorp accuses of trading with
Rogers] which was excepted of Mr. Lucas, etc."

For additional information, see John Ward's research on "Richard
Oglethorp" (without the last e) in the Ancestry World Tree. John
thinks this might be the same Richard who married first, Sarah
Starkey, in 1699, Althorp,Lincolnshire,England. And he gives Richard's
further ancestry.

Owen and brother, Daniel, were listed in the Craven County Militia
Row 1751/1753. Their sister Margaret stayed in Virginia.
Owen's brother, Solomon (?), obtained a land grant in 1745 in
Craven County, North Carolina, which is about 440 miles South of where
they had first settled in Virginia. Solomon sold the land to his
brother Owen in 1749.
Owen II, the son of Owen I was born in Northern Ireland (Donegal
Co.) and appears to have remained there to maturity, and eventually
married Susannah. Susannah and Owen II had five children; three
girls, Susannah 2, Elizabeth and Sarah; and two boys, Richard and Owen
III. Owen III was born about 1740 in Ireland, but birth dates or
birth locations of other children are unknown. Sometime in the decade
of the 1750's, or a bit earlier, Owen II migrated to the Colonies with
his family. In the Colonies he planted his roots in Craven Co., NC,
where he prospered acquiring a fairly large acreage of land. In 1762,
subsequent to a second marriage, he deeded land to each of his and
Susannah's five children. To his son Owen III he gave 140 acres and
each of the other children received a separate tracts. Little
information is available about Susannah who must have died prior to
about 1760.
Owen married a second time to Mary Taylor, daughter of Robert
Taylor and Catherine LNU, born about 1736 in Craven Co., NC. Owen II
and Mary had five children, Daniel, Reuben, Ephraim, Robert, and a
daughter, Holland. They all grew to adulthood and married in NC.
Owen II died in February 1785 in New Bern, Craven Co., NC. Prior
to his death, on 5 Jan 1762, Owen II executed a deed dividing his
holdings among each of his five children. Owen III received a 140
acres of land. There is no mention of his wife, Susannah, who may
have died prior to the move to America.
After Owen II's death, about 1785, two of his sons with Mary,
Daniel and Rueben, (and perhaps Robert) decided to leave NC and join
the caravan of Moses Taylor, father-in-law of Robert and Daniel, in a
move to KY. Ephraim remained in NC and daughter, Holland, may have
also remained there for a time, then followed her brothers to KY. The
actions of Robert Daugherty, subsequent to the break up of the NC
estate, are uncertain.
Robert had a son, Peter Daugherty, born in 1798. Peter was not
born in KY or NC. In fact, there is no record of Peter's birth until
the Washington Co., AL Census of 1850 which shows the birthplace of
Ireland. Robert Daugherty was a preacher probably a circuit rider
accustomed to traveling. It is possible that, at the time of the NC
break-up, Robert and wife, Sarah, traveled to Ireland and remained
there a few years before joining his brothers in KY.

Last Will and Testament of Owen Daugherty II:
5 January 1762
"In the name of God, Amen. I Owen Daugherty of the county of Craven in
the state of North Carolina planter; being very sick and weak in body;
but of perfect mine and memory; thanks be given unto God; calling unto
mind the mortality of my body; and knowing that it is appointed for
all men once to die; do make and ordain this my last will and
testament.
that is to say; principally and first of all; I give and recommend my
soul into the hand of almighty God that give it. My body I recommend
to the earth to be buried in decent Christian burial at the discretion
of my executors. Nothing doubting but at the general resurrection I
shall receive the same again; by the mighty power of God.
And as touching such worldly estate where ever it has pleased God to
bless me in this life; I give demise and dispose of the same in the
following manner and form:
First I give and bequeath to my well beloved wife , Mary Daugherty
, one horse and saddle, one feather bed, one cow and calf, one-half
Joe and Tankard.
And to my well beloved son , Robert Daugherty, I give and bequeath
my land and plantation.
And to my son Daniel Daugherty, I give one cow yearling.
To Ephraim, I give a young two year old mare and one cow.
And as for the Negro wench, the first child she has to be for my son
Daniel Daugherty; and the second for my son Ephraim; and the third for
my son Rubin; and the fourth Negro child for my daughter , Holland. If
it please God for her to bring the fifth child, for it to be for my
five children I had by my first wife and likewise for each of them a
two year heifer a piece.
The remainder of my estate, to be for my wife during her natural
life or widowhood. And for my son Daniel Daugherty to keep said wench
till she brings the five children weanable.
Leaving my well beloved wife Mary Daugherty and Robert Daugherty my
whole and sole executors and all my whole estate to be equally divided
by the five children I had by my last wife , Mary Daugherty.
In witness where unto I have here unto set my hand and seal this 23rd
day of February in the year of our Lord, one thousand seven hundred
and eighty five. Signed, sealed, published, and pronounced and
declared by the said Owen Daugherty as his last will and testament in
the presence of us.

(Both the deed and the will were published in KY Traces, Winter 1997,
Volume 21, Number 2)

It has been recorded that Owen Daugherty's sons Robert, Daniel and
Reuben moved to KY with the Moses Taylor caravan in 1795 but that
Ephraim remained in NC. When he arrived in Warren Co. (created in 1796
from Lincoln Co.), he settled in the vicinity of the Gasper River near
present-day Hadley where the Moses Taylor, Sr., family settled.
Holland's brothers, Robert and Daniel, married daughters of Moses.

In the 1860 Butler Co. Census, Welches Creek Dist, 29 Jun:
Households #313/299, John Daugherty, age 71, (no occupation), real
estate $400, personal $50, NC, can't read/write; Elizabeth P. age 70,
serving, can't read/write, KY; Elizabeth T., age 27, KY; Dorcas D.
Findley (female), age 5.

It was called the "headright" system. Each "head" whose passage was paid gave the payor a "right" to 50 acres of land. However, the payor had to file a claim with the colonial government. These claims were sometimes not filed for years after the event. Also, headrights were traded like currency. So, while it is possible that Richard Jones payed Owen's passage, it is also possible that Owen's passage was paid by someone else. There is a very short, but very good, discussion of the headright system in the introduction to the first volume of Cavaliers and Pioneers by Nugent. (Source: Donald W. Moore, CG(sm)

I have to advise you, that in the Revolutionary War pension claim, S. 8800, it appears that Benjamin Knox was born in Rowan Co, N. C. date not stated.
He served as a private in the N. C. Troops, from Jan 1780 for three months in Capt. John Sloan's Co. Col. Hamright's Regiment, and from the summer of 1780 for three months in Capt. Joseph Graham's Co. Col. Dixon's Regt. Date of death not on record. He was allowed pension, in 1833, aged seventy-three years.

Respectfully,

F. H. Pope, Colonel Q. M. C.
Office of Quartermaster General,
Washington, D. C.

Sir:
I have to advise you, that your office was furnished on April 13, 1926, with the record of the only Benjamin Knox, S.8800, found on the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau.
He was alive in 1840,
Respectfully,

WINFIELD SCOTT,
Commissioner.


--------------------------------------------------

[TRANSCRIBER COMMENTS: Correspondence in this pension file indicates there was some confusion regarding when this Benjamin Knox died.

The above letter was in response to an earlier inquiry regarding a 1926 War Department request to provide a headstone for the grave of a "Benjamin Knox, Private" who "Died 1832" and was "Buried in Third Creek Cemetery, Cleveland, North Carolina." However, Commissioner Winfield Scott stated this Benjamin was still alive in 1840, and produced a copy of a pension payment to this Benjamin Knox which was made by the Treasury Department for the period of "the 4th Sept 1839 to 4th March 1840."

Therefore, since this Benjamin Knox was still alive in 1840, and was not the Benjamin Knox who d. 1832 and buried at Third Creek Cemetery, Cleveland, Rowan County, NC. A copy of the January 20, 1841, Treasury Department, Second Comptroller's Office's document is included in Benjamin Knox's pension file.

It should also be noted that in 1832 this Benjamin Knox did NOT know WHEN he was born, and signed "his mark" as "X" at the age of 72; however, the Benjamin Knox whose Last Will & Testament was recorded in Iredell County in 1843, knew when he was born (b. 5 June 1760 - d. 2 Sept 1842, according to DAR Patriot data for S8800), and was able to SIGN his name at age 83...when he made his LWT.

Are these really the same Benjamin Knox?]


 		Knox, Benjamin (I3478)
 
1791 Pepin II mayor of the palace (680–714) of the Frankish territory of
Austrasia; grandson of Pepin of Landen and father of Charles Martel.
After defeating the nobles of Neustria at the battle of Tertry (687),
Pepin made himself mayor, or ruler, of all the Frankish kingdoms
except Aquitaine, with the Merovingian dynasty retaining the nominal
kingship. He defeated the Frisians, the Alemanni, and the Bavarians
and established a strong government, thus laying the foundation for
the empire of his descendants, the Carolingian mayors and kings. 		Of France, Pepin II (I1746)
 
1792 PEPIN was the first son born to Charlemagne and Hildegard, his first
wife.
Pepin was born with a hunched back. He was less favored by his father
than two
other sons- Charles and Louis- because of his deformity. Pepin was
appointed
King of Italy at a young age by his father. He died suddenly at his
home in
Italy at age 34 from the plague. He had recently been rebuffed by a
superior
Venetian Navy in an effort to conquer Venetia. Charles and Louis were
appointed Emperors of the rest of the Roman Empire. Only Louis
survived
Charlemagne. Pepin's son BERNARD succeeded him as King of Italy.

 		Of Italy, Pepin I (I2000)
 
1793 Peter Daugherty, son of Robert Daugherty, was born in Ireland in
1798. Genealogy research does not provide an explanation for his
birth in Ireland. His father, mother and siblings were natives of the
US and all died in KY.
Peter Patrick appears to have left KY as a young man and traveled
through TN into GA prior to 1824. He may have initially settled in GA
where he married a girl named Mary, who's last name is unknown.
Nowever, his first child, John Daugherty, was born in AL in 1825.
Peter must have arrived in AL within two or three years of the time
his uncle, Reuben, settled there. The presence of Reuben and his
family in Washington Co., AL probably was the reason Peter located
there. As is noted in the migration of Owen II's children to KY,
families tend to locate in the same areas, particularly in pioneer
times. Although Washington Co., AL was a large county, Reuben and
Peter both settled in the same small area of the county, the same
precinct or census area, near the Tombigbee River.
Interestingly, while in GA, Peter Patrick began a relationship with
a laborer, or mechanic, that would last the rest of his life. A man
named John Windham, born in GA, about the same age as Patrick, must
have traveled to AL with Patrick and Mary, and remained with them
until Patrick's death about 1860. After Patrick's death, John Windham
remained with Patrick's son, Willis, until John's death subsequent to
1880 when he was more than 80 years old.
In 1860 a school teacher, John McAmmon, who was born in Ireland
about 1815, lived with Peter Patrick. McAmmon appears to have been a
permanent resident and may have been there several years. Migration
of a school teacher from Ireland to Al must have resulted from a prior
association.
Peter Patrick and Mary started a branch of the Daugherty family in
Washington Co., AL, somewhere in the area of McIntosh where they
eventually had 12 children; John Daugherty, born 1825, Willis Earle
Daugherty, born 1828, Sally Daugherty, born 1830, Mary Daugherty born
1833, Martha Daugherty, born 1836, Patrick Daugherty, born 1838, Judy
Daugherty, born 1840, Patience Daugherty, born 1842, Benjamine F.
Daugherty, born 1844, Elizabeth Daugherty, born 1846, James Kelly
Daugherty, born 1849, and Edward Ocian Daugherty, born 1851.
The oldest son, John, appears to have settled around McIntosh, as
did the youngest son, Edward Ocian Daugherty. The second son, Willis
Earle Daugherty, who was my g-grandfather, settled some 15 - 16 miles
west of McIntosh at a place called "Tibbie" (from the Indian name,
"Okatibbaha"). Patrick's descendants remained in the two areas until
about the end of the 19th century when they began to relocate in other
parts of the country. Peter Patrick must have died prior to 1870
since he is not shown in that census.

1796 Pharoah was born in Northampton County, North Carolina in 1752. He
came to what is now Tennessee with his father about 1769. About 1775
he returned to Halifax County, North Carolina to marry his first
cousin (and his mother’s namesake), Barsheba Whitehead (born sometime
between 1750 and 1760). Their children were: Catherine (born 1776);
Richard Caswell (born 1778); Arthur (born October 7, 1790); William
(born August 10, 1793); Barsheba Whitehead (born March 6, 1797); Jesse
Cobb (born 1799); and Joseph Cobb. In the summer of 1776 he served
four months under Captain Womack of the North Carolina militia against
the Cherokee Indians. In 1777 he served three months in Captain Thomas
Pierce’s company of mounted rangers. In 1780 and 81 he served under
Colonel Isaac Shelby at the battles of Musgrove’s Mill and King’s
Mountain. On July 11, 1788, Pharoah received a grant of 640 acres on
Knob Creek near his father’s land in Sullivan County. His house was
eight to ten miles from Rocky Mount. He built the first race track in
the area, located between his house and the Watauga River, measuring a
mile in length and 200 feet in width. In 1797 Pharoah moved his family
to Hawkins County and built a new home at Cobb’s Ford (now in Hamblen
County). Andrew Jackson was a frequent visitor at Pharoah’s home, and
it was a regular stop for Jackson in his travels from Nashville to
Washington after Jackson was elected president. The home was destroyed
when the area was flooded to create Cherokee Lake. The family cemetery
was moved, and is now located on the east side of Davy Crockett Boy
Scout Camp. Barsheba died in 1840. Pharoah died on February 22, 1841.
