| 404 | Note: Eliza Gray may have been a cousin of Absolom Gray. Her brother was George Gray, I am almost positive. Absolom Gray had a son named James T. who had a daughter named Estelle. That is possibly where my great grandmother got the name for my grandmother, Estelle. It is possible that James T. was George's nephew. | Gray, Elizabeth (I12124)

| 405 | Note: Lancaster & Accomack Co., VA. Long before the first white settlers arrived in what is now Virginia, the Native Americans called the Eastern Shore by the name Accawmacke ---meaning the "across the water place". Accawmacke was settled very early by the English. According to history, the natives on the Eastern Shore were friendly and access to the area was easy. The word Chesapeake is the modern English spelling of the native term for "great water". To the early settlers, this "great water" made for easier travel than trying to go into the interior of the New World. So, early settlement was concentrated in the coastal areas. The original shire of Accomac, created in 1634, covered the entire Eastern Shore. The name of the shire was changed to Northampton in 1642. This name change was part of an effort by the English to eliminate "heathen" names in the New World. So, an English name, Northampton, was chosen. By the year 1663, many, many settlers has chosen the Eastern Shore as their new home. It was decided that the area should be divided into two counties. So, the northern half got back its original name--- but spelled Accomac. Accomac County was abolished for a time in 1670. Governor William Berkeley, wanted to arrest Col. Edmund Scarburgh for the murders of some native chiefs. This was one of the incidents that led to Bacon's Rebellion in 1676. Scarburgh claimed to be a Burgess for Accomac, and members of the General Assembly were immune to arrest. So, to circumvent this situation, Governor Berkeley nullified the law that created the county. This eliminated Scarburgh's protection from being arrested. When Scarburgh died in 1671, the General Assembly re-created Accomac County. Lancaster Co. was formed from York and Northumberland in 1651. | Conway, Edwin II (I10833)

| 409 | Notes from Walter Beall from Winston-Salem, NC: "Samuel Beall, brother of Josiah Beall 1715-1768, designated by the will of his father as "eldest son," was born in Prince George's County ca. 1713. His parents, by gift or devise, provided him plantation property in the area of Bladensburg, Maryland, which property lay in both Prince George's County and in Frederick County after its creation in 1748. Unlike his brother Josiah who lived out his life near the now District of Columbia, Samuel and his family moved ever northward in Western Maryland, lived in Frederick County until it was subdivided into several counties, and died in Washington County in 1777. Col. Samuel Beall, Jr., was the name Samuel was known by most of his adult life. Samuel Beall, son of John Beall, became identified as "Jr." but the reason for that designation is not clear. "Jr." was used more loosely in those days than at present. However, among the records of Maryland that make clear that Col. Samuel Beall, Jr., was the son of John and Verlinder Magruder Beall is that of a joint deed to a tract of land called Poplar Thicket, executed by Samuel Beall and Josiah Beall, being land in the estate of their father John Beall, filed in Frederick County September 16, 1757, in which Samuel is described as "Eldest son and Heir at Law" of John Beall d. 1742 and the acknowledgment to which identifies him as "Samuel Beall, Junr. " Samuel Beall (as was his brother Josiah and his wife's Brooke ancestry) was distinguished in the Colony of Maryland, holding a number of prominent offices and contributing much to the American Independence movement. In 1748 Samuel Beall was "Clerk" of the Captain George Beall Troop of Horse, as a participating militiaman listed as an officer. His name appears in the same document with that of his brother Josiah Beall. Members of Captain George Beall Troop of Horse came from areas of Bladensburg, Rock Creek, Eastern Branch (now Anacostia) of the Potomac and the now District of Columbia, and were residents after formation of Frederick County in 1748 of either that county or the remaining Prince George's County. Samuel owned land in 1748 on both sides of the line dividing the two counties. Records of Prince George's Parish before 1748 show the appointment of Samuel Beall, Jr., as one of the inspectors at Bladensburg Inspecting Warehouse. On September 10, 1750, Samuel Beall was again appointed to the same position. Both appointments were made by the Vestry of Prince George's Parish. Records of Prince George's Parish reveal that Samuel Beall, Jr., was a member of the Vestry on December 5, 1749. "By order of his Excellency the Governor," Samuel Beall was appointed High Sheriff of Frederick County, a position of honor and reward, on November 28, 1753, to succeed his brother Josiah Beall. He filled the Sheriff's office through 1756, and is recorded as serving as Sheriff in the period November 1760 to November 1762. In the Commission issued November 17, 1761, and the discharge dated November 17, 1762, he is referred to as "Col. Samuel Beall. Col. Samuel Beall was issued Commissions as a Justice of Frederick County Court and is recorded serving in that capacity in the years 1763, 1765, 1768 ,1769, 1772 and 1775. It was in the position of Justice that Samuel Beall was memorialized by Daughters of the American Revolution, together with Josiah Beall and others, as an Apostle of Liberty and described as one of "The Twelve Immortal Justices of the Frederick County Court who Repudiated the Stamp Act Nov. 23 1765," Samuel Beall is entitled Colonel in numerous Maryland documents in the period November 1761 to July 1776. One authoritative source is that of an Act of the Maryland Assembly of 1763 authorizing creation of a school in Frederick Town and appointing, among others, Col. Samuel Beall to purchase the ground. Another, is that of Maryland Convention on January 1, 1776, appointing Samuel Beall Colonel Second Battalion. There are many records of the years intervening which consistently refer to "Col. Samuel Beall. At a Meeting of the Inhabitants of Frederick County, 24 January, 1775, Samuel Beall, Jr., was appointed on a Committee of Observation, to carry out the Resolves of the American Congress, and of the Provincial Convention. Also, he was continued as a member of the Committee of Correspondence. Provincial Conventions, first meeting in June, 1774, assumed the lawmaking authority of the Province of Maryland. The last session of the Colonial General Assembly of Maryland was concluded April 19, 1774, as Colonial unrest grew and nurtured rebellion. Thus, delegates elected to Provincial Conventions of Maryland in the period from April 1774 to August 1776 were the supreme lawmakers in Maryland within that period of time. Samuel Beall, Jr. was elected Representative to Provincial Conventions on January 24, 1775 to serve in the Fourth, Fifth and Ninth Conventions. Early Provincial Conventions adopted the resolves of Association of the Freemen of Maryland. Under that Association the supreme power was vested in the Provincial Convention, consisting of five delegates from each county. Executive power was entrusted to a Committee of Safety electedby the Convention, which Committee appointed all field officers and granted all military commissions. Samuel Beall, Jr., served as a Member of the Council of Safety and as its Chairman. Documents report such service in the period from April 29, 1776 to and including July 13, 1776. Samuel Beall was elected a delegate to the first Maryland State Convention, assembled at Annapolis on August 14, 1776. That Convention appointed Samuel Beall Justice of the first County Court for Washington County. As a member of the first Maryland State Convention, Samuel Beall, Jr., was a Framer of the first State Constitution of Maryland. Just as John Beall had been favored by grant of a water gristmill by the Office of Governor of Maryland, so were his sons Josiah and Samuel. On November 15, 1763, while Josiah was Associate Justice and Commissioner of Frederick County and Samuel was Sheriff of Frederick County, a grant of an 80 year lease for the Seite of a Water Mill, at the mouth of the Deep Branch at the Potomac, was issued to Josiah Beall. Samuel Beall's Will reveals that the grant of the mill was for "my use," devises the 20 acre mill site to his son Basil, and charges Thaddeus Beall, son of Josiah, with the duty of executing necessary documents. Thaddeus complied. The mill site lay in Montgomery County after its formation in 1776, apparently within the now District of Columbia and on land owned by John Murdock, for "quit rents" were payable to Murdock. "Records of the Columbia Historical Society - The Old Mills,"relates of a "Murdock Mill," situated a short distance southwest from the intersection of Murdock Mill Road and Massachusetts Avenue extended. The mill, in operation well into the 1880's in the ownership of the Murdock family, may be the water grist mill erected by Samuel Beall. On August 26, 1763, proceedings were initiated for the grant of a second water mill to Samuel Beall, Jr. The grant was formalized July 13, 1765, to a mill site on Antietam Creek one quarter of a mile distance from the mouth of Antietam Creek at the Potomac River in Frederick County. The mouth of Antietam Creek was also the site of Samuel Beall's forge, revealed by the following advertisement: The Maryland Gazette (XXII Year.) (No.1093.) Thursday, August 21, 1766 August 16, 1766. "A GOOD FORGE CARPENTER, and Good WORKMEN, who will undertake the Management of One FINERY FIRE, to work Double-Handed, will meet with Good Encouragement, if they apply to the Subscriber at Frederick Forge, on the Mouth of Anti-Etam. (44 ) Samuel Beall, junr. Register of Maryland's Heraldic Families credits Samuel Beall,Jr., with creation of "the first Iron Forge in Maryland, If not in the United States. It cast the first Cannon for the Continental Army." On October 15, 1774, Samuel Beall, Jr., drew his Will and signed it with witnesses. On that date, his dwelling place and most of his other land holdings were in Frederick County. In 1776, Washington and Montgomery Counties were formed from Frederick County. Samuel Beall's will, recorded in Washington County January 10, 1778, devised land laying in each of the three counties. His Will is digested: "To my beloved wife Eleanor Beall . . . land called Kelly's Purchase . . . where on I now dwell . . . To my daughter Verlanda Dent, twenty shillings ... as I have heretofore provided for her according to my abilities . . . To my son Richard Beall, twenty shillings . . . as I have heretofore provided for him according to my abilities . . . To my son Walter Beall . . . part of a tract of land called Beals Good Will . . . To my son Brooke Beall all my land under lease to William Burges . . . To my son Thomas Beall . . . land called Gize (?) . . . To my daughter Amelia Beall, wife of Thaddeus Beall, . . . part of my track of land called Beall's Good Will . . . To my son Isaac Beall (real and personal property) . . . To my son Daniel Beall (real and personal property) . . . To my son Samuel Beall (real and personal property) . . . To my son Basil Beall my Water Grist Mill . . . that was condemned in the name of Josiah Beall as will appear by the lease reference there unto being had for my use and to be assigned unto me or my assigns by Thaddeus Beall, his son and heir, ... (and) the tract of land called Noise Enough . . . To my daughter Eleanor Beall (real and personal property) . . . To my daughter Ann Beall (real and personal property) . . . To my daughter Rebeccah Beall (real and personal property) . . . I hereby order and direct that my executors . . . do sell at public vendue to the highest bidder after giving three months notice in the Maryland and Pennsylvania Gazettes . .. land called Gift . . . land called Philadelphia . . . land called Berlin . . . land called Christys Folly condemned in the name of Josiah Beall as nominal Sheriff for my use, to be conveyed by Thaddeus Beall, his son and heir . . . and all my shares and stock both real and personal being one fourth part of the forge known by the name of the Frederick Forge in partnership with David Kop and Richard Henderson . . . Sons Richard Beall, Brooke Beall and Samuel Beall executors. . . This Will was signed and acknowledged by witnesses as that of Samuel Beall, Jr. In addition to the bequests and devises detailed, the will distributed slaves, feather beds, bolsters, pillows and covering, livestock, and other personalty. Samuel Beall, Jr., died in 1777, apparently some months before the recording of his will on January 10, 1778, by Alexander Clagett, who was appointed administrator of the estate. On the date of the recording, Brooke Beall, one of the executors named in the Will of Samuel, appeared and refused to act as executor. Samuel Beall, another of the executors named in the Will of Samuel Beall, Jr., did not act as executor. The reason is undetermined. Richard Beall, another son of Samuel Beall, Jr., named in his will as executor, died in 1777, before or soon after the death of Samuel Beall, Jr. On March 28, 1775, after drafting of his will, Samuel Beall, Jr. sold to Richard Thompson the water grist mill and tract called Noise Enough, devised to Basil Beall. Richard Thompson had difficulty obtaining proper title to the property and on May 7,1787, filed suit. Judgment was entered in the May Court of 1790. The pleadings and attached exhibits by Richard Thompson set forth that Thaddeus Beall had properly executed deeds to the properties as directed in the will of Samuel Beall, Jr.; that Basil Beall was insane and confined in the bettering house of Philadelphia, having a wife and son; that Brooke Beall had refused to act as executor; that Richard Beall, eldest son and heir at law of Samuel Beall, Jr., died in the year 1777 without conveying proper title to Richard Thompson; and that Samuel B. Beall, son and heir at law of Richard Beall, had refused to convey proper title. The pleadings reveal nothing of Samuel Beall, executor and son of Samuel Beall, Jr. (Chancery Court Records, Liber 19, Folios 376-382). Alexander Clagett was apparently a friend of the Samuel Beall, Jr., family as well as a creditor of the estate. A Clagett family had been identified with this Beall family for some decades and Alexander Clagett was probably of that family.

| 411 | Notes from Walter Beall of Winston-Salem, NC: Alexander Beall, progenitor of this Beall line in America, was born in 1649 to Scottish parents who spelled their name Bell, in St. Andrews Parish, Fife County, Scotland. The City of St. Andrews in 1649, the year of birth of Alexander Bell, had a population estimated at 350 persons. Parochial registers of St. Andrews record the birth of Alexander Bell, as follows: "1649. 11th October. Alexr. Bell and Margaret Ramsay had one sone called Alexr. Witnesses Alexr. Young and/ John Gibsone." Ministers of The Parish Church of the Holy Trinity, the Church of Scotland founded in St. Andrews circa 1140 and removed in the year 1412 to its 1973 site, have stated that given the known facts of Alexander Bell and the few people of the village, he was baptized in that Church, on the site it occupies today, fronting on South Street in the center of the City of St. Andrews. Histories of St. Andrews say that, after the depopulating effects of the Reformation, the population increased until 1585, when it was terribly reduced by pestilence. By the middle of the seventeenth century however, the merchants appear to have been fairly prosperous and some of them were comparatively wealthy. It was during this period that Alexander was born. The prosperity was short-lived, for the years 1643 to 1685 also brought religious and military suppression of the Scots by King Charles I, Oliver Cromwell and King Charles II, as well as the capture and exile to the Caribbean of thousands of Scot soldiers. There ensured a decrease of population and economic welfare of the people of St. Andrews. In 1697, it was written: "This place being now only a village, where (for the) most part farmers dwell, the whole streets are filled with dunghills, which are exceedingly noisome and ready to infect the air, especially at this season (September) when the herring gutts are exposed in them, or rather in all corners of the toune by themselves, and the season of the year apt to breed infection." Some American genealogies state that Alexander Bell reached America in 1666, after collapse of Cromwellian rule. The continuing oppressive military rule of Charles II in Scotland, however, was ample cause to seek a life elsewhere. It is not known whether Alexander arrived with his parents or alone or indentured or via the Caribbean as a released military prisoner, as is said of his contemporary Ninian Beall. Detailed documentation, supported by numerous references of Alexander Beall in Maryland, and of his descendants of this line through Maryland, North Carolina, Georgia and Texas, is contained in the files of: (1) Robert Hunter McLean, Society of Colonial Wars in the State of Texas, by right of Captain Samuel Magruder; (2) Varner Beall Bell, National Society Colonial Dames XVII Century in the State of Texas, by right of Alexander Beall d. 1744, and (3) Lucile Beall McLean, The National Society of the Colonial Dames of America, Colonial State Maryland, Associate State Texas, by right of Alexander Beall d. 1744. Alexander Beall added the "a" to his name, as did other Bell immigrants to America, for reasons presumably sufficient, perhaps uniform pronunciation. Alexander Beall settled in Charles or Calvert County, from which Prince George's County was formed in 1695. It is in the latter County that first references of him were found. Alexander and his descendants in Maryland, moved ever northward in the State, so it is probable that before he is found in 1716 living "halfway between Marlborough and the Eastern Branch" (now the Anacostia River), he had earlier settled to the south. In 1695 Alexander was one of those signing an "Association Address presented to his Sacred Majesty [King William] upon news here arrived of the horrible intended conspiracy against his Royal person . . .," and is described therein as one of the "Civil Officers & Magistrates of Prince Georges County. Among others signing the felicitation was Samuel Magruder, joint grandfather with Alexander of Samuel and Josiah Beall of this line. By the year 1695 Alexander Beall must have had large holdings of land. Some of his later acquisitions have been identified as "Largoe" which lay on both sides of the southwest branch of the Patuxent River and a nearby tract named Neighbourhood both due east of now the District of Columbia, and Friendship Enlarged not far distant. Court records of Prince George's County disclose that in January, 1697, Alexander Beall was a member of the Grand Jury, in June 1698 he was a member of the Grand Inquest, and in March 1699 he was Foreman of the Grand Inquest. In those years there were but few communities, and they widely separated, in Prince George's County. Planters selected virgin land in advance of population movements and, to facilitate marketing of plantation products, preferred sites along navigable rivers. The population of Prince George's County, then a vast area of land that has since been subdivided into other counties, has been estimated at some 2,000 persons of which less than 300 were negro slaves, mostly domestic servants. The preferred labor supply consisted of whites bound by voluntary legal servitude, or English court sentences, or by voluntary indenture agreeing to work a term of years in return for expenses of passage to America. Most of the plantations produced tobacco, which also served as the medium of exchange and as legal currency then and for years after. Blacksmiths, carpenters, surveyors and craftsmen of other skills, possessed of the scarce and highly valued tools of their trade, were in great demand. Those conditions, briefly stated, existed as the year 1700 approached. On November 20, 1704, Col. Ninian Beall deeded a half acre of land out of a tract called "Meddows," located on the Western Branch of the Patuxent River in Prince George's County, to Rev. Nathaniel Taylor, Presbyterian Minister, for erection of a church. Trustees named in the deed include Alexander Beall and a James Beall, believed to be Alexander's brother. The deed was witnessed by Samuel Magruder. The presence of a Church of Scotland minister and the publicly recorded deed of Ninian Beall for a Presbyterian church identifying several Presbyterians by name, evidence relaxation of the religious intolerance of the Maryland Assembly of 1692 which restricted religious worship to the Anglican Church. As a consequence of that Assembly Act there were few Presbyterians in Maryland, and they self-restrained in open worship. In December, 1706, Alexander Beall accompanied his minister, Rev. Nathaniel Taylor, to a meeting attended by six other ministers from Maryland, Philadelphia and Delaware. The purpose of the meeting was to establish an organized Church from among the independent congregations. That meeting was the beginning of the Presbyterian Church in America. Presbyterian Elder Alexander Beal attended annual meetings of the Presbytery in the years 1708, 1709 and 1714, and in 1718 attended the general Synod, successor to the general Presbytery. On October 11, 1709, Alexander Beall was again named Trustee for a Presbyterian Church when Dr. Mordecai Moore of Anne Arundel County deeded to Rev. Nathaniel Taylor, Alexander Beall, James Beall and others, as Trustees, a half acre of land on the Eastern Branch of the Potomac for a Church. That new site was more convenient to Alexander Beall, who as earlier related "lived halfway between Marlborough and the Eastern Branch," than the Patuxent River Church initiated by Ninian Beall in 1704. In November, 1716, Alexander Beall continued his missionary work and brought worship still closer to his home by Court registration of his residence on the Eastern Branch as a Presbyterian meeting-house. The church history of Alexander Beall establishes him as an early Elder and Trustee of the Presbyterian Church, and as a founder of the national Presbyterian Church in America. "Friendship Enlarged" was patented to Alexander Beall on May 14, 1716. This tract of land contained 920 acres and fronted on the Northwest Branch of the Patuxent River, a short distance from their juncture. This tract lay about ten miles northeast of Beall Town, now Bladensburg, Maryland; also, about 15 miles northeast of the mouth of the Anacostia River in what is now Washington,D.C. The 1719 Prince George's County lists of taxables in West Branch Hundred, includes Alexander Beall. That taxing district lay a short distance southeast from Beall Town, now Bladensburg. The 1733 lists of taxables include Alexander in the West Branch Hundred and also in the Eastern Branch Hundred which extended northeastward from Beall Town, now Bladensburg. Alexander's Will mentions a tract of land "my Dwelling Plantation .. Largoe" which has been located mid-way between Bladensburg and Upper Marlboro. As earlier cited, Alexander is reported in 1716 living "halfway between Marlborough and the Eastern Branch." That would be the tract named "Largoe." These locate Alexander's residence at a point ten miles due east of the point where the Anacostia and Potomac Rivers join in now the District of Columbia. Alexander's son, John Beall d. 1742, laid out, and sold many lots in Beall Town before the name was changed to Bladensburg by Act of the Maryland Assembly in 1742. John's Will devised other land adjoining or near Bladensburg, now a part of the Metropolitan area of the District of Columbia although in the State of MD. Thaddeus Beall, son of Josiah d. 1768 the son of Alexander d. 1744, deeded from Josiah's estate "a tract of land called Indolence lying on the west side of the Piney Branch of Rock Creek, consisting of 107 acres." The description places this tract north of the Zoological Park of Rock Creek Park in now the District of Columbia. There are other references of land holdings of Alexander, but these cited are adequate to establish his residence at least as early as 1716 and continuing to his death as slightly southeast of Bladensburg. His numerous land holdings were at distances up to some ten miles from his residence. On January 16, 1743, of the Old Style calendar, which would be 1744 in the New Style calendar adopted some nine years later, Alexander Beall drew his Will. It was filed of record September 5, 1744, in Prince George's County, and is now among Frederick County records. Alexander's Will mentions no wife so, obviously, his wife or wives had pre-deceased him. His will does mention two deceased sons, John and James. Alexander, born 1649 and died 1744, was 95 years of age at his death. The Will is abstracted below: to my brother Robert Beall all my Wareing apparel." (Robert is believed to have been a foster brother). to Lingon Wilson's Wife Mary my Shase & Harnise." (Mary is believed to be a daughter). I give and bequeath to my negro Woman Ann her freedom forever." I give and bequeath to my son William Beall my Dwelling Plantation and Land being part of Two Tracts of Land Called Neighbourhood and Largoe I give and bequeath to my son Ninian Beall the other part of a Tract of Land called Largoe ... Commonly Called Menellas." One fifth part [of the estate remainder] to my Son William Beall, and one fifth part to my Son in Law John Jackson, one fifth part to my Son Ninian Beall, one fifth part to my decd. son John Bealls Children, and one fifth part to my decd. son James Bealls Children. William Beall, Ninian Beall and John Jackson to be Executors." At first impression it would appear that Alexander's will was more generous with one or another of his children than with others. It was a custom of the time and of this Beall line, to deed land and give personal property, including slaves, to children as they matured and married. For example, John and James Beall, sons of Alexander, are known to have been substantial land owners 20 years before Alexander's death. Alexander's son-in-law, John Jackson, was a man of prominence of Maryland in his day and also a large land owner. Customs and the circumstances of this will indicate that Alexander, prior to his death, had made substantial gifts to some of his children.

I believe that some of the Love's settled in NC because Ebzan, Sr. married Emma Bailey in Madison Co., NC and a number of the children, including Ebzan Jr. were born in NC. Today there are descendents of John and Nancy Love's daughter, Martha Ann Love Hauser living in Franklin Township, Macon Co., North Carolina. U.S. Army, Register of Enlistments, 1798-1914 about John Love Name: John Love Birthyear: abt 1791 Birthplace: Tennessee, United States Enlistment Age: 18 I believe that our John Love was born about 1792 in Pennsylvania, in Chester County. His father was Samuel Love, son of William, source of the Will) and wife, Sarah. Also, that the record of John's christening in 1793 in Fagg's Manor Presbyterian Church, Chester Co., PA, was his record. John married Nancy Rinehart on October 29, 1818 in Greene County, Tennessee. Her father was thought by some to have been Johannes Reinhardt, born 1755 in North Carolina. Nancy's paternal grandfather is believed to have been Jacob Reinhardt who had come to America with his wife Anna Margaretha from Germany. I think this was the Jacob Reinhardt living close by in the 1830 Greene Co., TN census. John and Nancy settled near Limestone Springs, Greene County, Tennessee, in the Appalachian foothills of East Tennessee where they raised their children, who were: Sarah (Sally) Love, born abt 1820 Hamilton Love, born abt 1826, m. Mary MNU Ebzan Love, b. abt 1827, m. 1st Emma Bailey, 2nd Sarah E. Darnell Luther M. Love, 1829, m. Bertha Lovette Harriet N. Love, 1832, m. William Rufus Stallcup Martha Ann Love, 1834, m. Ephraim Hauser The 1850 census for Greene County shows all 6 children still living at home, with the three sons all working as farmers on the family land. John died sometime between 1860 and 1870 near his home area of Limestone Springs, Green County, Tennessee. In the 1860 census he is listed as age 68, Nancy as age 66, with three daughters, Sally, Harriet, and Martha, along with Hamilton children. John is not found in the 1870 Census, nor any thereafter. Nancy was still living in 1870, and the census for Limestone Springs gives her age as 76 years old. Living with her is her daughter, Martha Love Hauser & her husband, Ephraim. Her son, Hamilton Love and his wife, Mary, are shown as living close by. Daughter, Martha Ann Love Hauser, died in 1914 at age 80 in Franklin, Macon Co., NC. Her father is recorded on her death certificate as John Love, born in Pennsylvania, and her mother is listed as Louise Rinehart. (MCM - 2003) | Love, John (I2468)

| 414 | Obituary from The Charlotte News, August 24, 1905 William Newton Alexander was born in March of 1828.1 He married Sarah Loucinda (Lou) White on October 29, 1855.2 She was born on December 26, 1834.3 In 1862 he enlisted in the cavalry as a private with his brothers, James Wallace and John Smith Alexander. At that time he was a farmer.4 In 1863 William was named as an heir of his uncle, Silas Alexander Jr., inheriting 25 acres of land and purchasing the undivided interest of Silas's son Harrison.5 During the war, he suffered a gunshot wound and was hospitalized in Danville, Virginia, in June 1864. He was hospitalized in Charlotte with typhoid the following November, and returned to duty in January 1865.6 In 1871 he was elected a deacon of Sharon Church.7 William served as Mecklenburg County coroner and as Deputy Marshal during the 1880's.8 He and his wife had children named Marcus A., Ellis Ulysses, and Robert Lester.9 William died August 21, 1905, and was buried at Carmel Church Cemetery in Mecklenburg County.10 Lou appeared in the 1910 census in the Sharon community as a farmer and head of household.

Taken from Christian Index dated September 2, 1862, Page 3, Column 6 "Captain WILLIAM ORLANDO BEALL departed this life on Monday morning, 4th of August about five o'clock after thirteen days' illness, with brain fever, undoubtedly his disease originated from undue exposure to the sun by riding in an open car from Atlanta to Kingston. After leaving the rail road, he traveled by private conveyance to the residence of his mother, near Carrollton - a distance of over fifty miles. There, after a few days of suffering, his spirit gently passed away to the bosom of Jesus. His dying testimony was "death has no terrors for me. I would not give my hope in Christ for all the world." Then turning to his sorrowing relatives, he exclaimed, "Be ye also ready - for in an hour that ye think not the Son of Man cometh." His end in itself was a complete vindication of Christianity. Trusting in the merits of the Savior, he calmly awaited the approach of the grim monster, death, feeling that he would soon be with his Savior. Captain Beall was born the 22nd of April 1822. For over twenty years he was a consistent and useful member of the Baptist church. As a husband, he was kind and attentive, ever solicitous for the comforts and happiness of his companion. As a father, none could surpass him in parental fondness. His desire for the spiritual well being of his children, was commensurate with his affection for them. As a master he possessed the love of his servants. As a soldier, he was firm and unflinching in the discharge of his duty, possessing those traits of character which won the affection and confidence of his men." E.B.B. William O. Beall with his wife Piety Hicks held membership at Liberty Baptist Church, Wilkinson County, Georgia between 1836-1850. Captain William O. Beall commanded the "Wilkinson Rifles" which was the first Company ready for service. It later became part of Co. "F", Third Georgia Regiment. William O.

| 417 | Peggy Reece Bruckner Notes and Questions: [1] Rev. War - Battle of Ramseur's Mill, Lincoln County, NC, was June 20, 1780... [2] Hannah, a minor in 1785, b. NLT 1764... Why only Hannah, if there other minor children (see 1794 bond for John & Jean/Jane, b. NLT 1773? Jane in one entry...Jean in another...appear to be same person, but may be two? [3]Samuel Willson (aka Wilson] was guardian for John and Jean/Jane Knox - married Hannah... see note 9. (LDS records say Hannah m. Samuel Wilson, but year cannot be correct...) Schooling records indicate Ruth may have been younger...are Guardian Papers missing from this file? [4] Appears to be Isaac Alexander, eldest son of Abraham Alexander, Signer of Mecklenburg Declaration; [5] Col. James Johnston was also the commander of Private Robert Knox in Rev. War; also m. Jane Ewart, sister of Mary Ewart, wife of Robert Knox. [6] Is this James Knox the same James Knox who bought property of Patrick Knoxes Estate on Jan 31 1792, later named in legal action March 2, 1795, but died sometime before the latter date? How is this James Knox who d. after Jan 31 1792, and before March 2, 1795, connected to this family? [7] Also names "Smith" as the brother of Mary -- was this his given name? or surname? [8] In 1795, estate divided in 1/4's, so there were 4 remaining heirs?: Samuel Willson (aka Wilson) is identified as the guardian of "2 of the Heirs (John & Jane, see note 3)...and married to a third" -- (Hannah), and # 4 Matthew?, who appears on 1800 Census of Mecklenburg? What happened to Ruth? Where is Mary, widow of Patrick? Did she die before 1800 Settlement? [9] Hannah and Matthew appear to be older than Ruth, John and Jean/Jane since they were schooled earlier (1782 versus 1785-1787)? ...Are children listed in order of age? Hannah, Matthew, Ruth, John and Jean/Jane? [10] Appears to be Hugh Terrence/Torrence was the father of James Galbraith Torrence who m. Mary Latta, d. of James Latta and Jane (Allison?) Knox, daughter of Robert and Mary Ewart Knox... [11] Appears to be John Sharpe (m. Martha Young), son of James Sharpe/Jemima Alexander, sister of Priscilla Sharpe who m. Alexander Brevard Jetton, whose daughter Martha Nantz Jetton m. Robert Jay Wilson Knox, who was grandson of Robert Knox who m. When James Smith died in May 1860 [Mecklenburg Co NC Will Book J, page 79], he was unmarried, and left most of his estate to his single sister Esther Smith, with a provision that upon her death a portion of the property was to pass to John McFadden - relationship not given, but assumed nephew -- who was living in James' household at that time. When Esther Smith died in 1868, her estate papers [NC Archives Mecklenburg Co Loose Estate Papers - Reel 100, Box 234] show that her estate was combined with her brother, James Smith. I'm including the following information because it references locations [which I'm sure are misspelled...] where James' [and I would assume David and Mary's] relatives lived back in Ireland. Of course, this is also many years after David (b. 1741) and Mary (b. bef 1751) were born -- and there may be no relationship to the birthplace of Patrick anyway. But, there may still be a clue here, so I'm sending it along: Power of Attorney - dated June 20, 1871 - Coleraine - Estates of Esther Smith & James Smith: Mrs. Rose Haughey, John McFadden, Hugh Reid & John Reid-------- -------------------to--------------------- Mr. John McFadden ===================== ----------Power of Attorney------ R[---?---] A. C. Crookshank 4 Blessington Street Dublin & Coleraine [Excerpts from affidavit] [Cover Summary - Sworn statement given by James Hay who witnessed signatures of John McFadden, Hugh Reid, John Reid, and Rose Haughey in County of Londonderry] page 1: "Know all men by these presents th[ ] Rose [Reid] Haughey otherwise Reid of Clogher in the Parish of Billy in the County of Antrim in Ireland, widow - John McFadden of the Park in the Parish of Dunluce in said County farmer the lawful Husband of Esther McFadden otherwise Reid; Esther Reid aforesaid - Hugh Reid of Clogher aforesaid of [ ] and John Reid of Prinadarres[?] in the Parish of Prinuntullagh[?] and County of Antrim aforesaid farmer Have nominated consituted and appointed, and by these presents do and each and every of us Doth nominate consitute & appoint and in our place and stead [?] John McFadden of Meeklinburgh County North Carolina in the United states of America farmer and Planter our true and lawful attorney for us and for each and every of us and in our joint names or in the names of any one or more of us or in his own name to demand recover and receive and to give receipts and discharged for our shares or share proportions or proportion of the Estate and effects goods chattels moneys and all other the property of every nature and kind left by or which belonged or was owing to ESTHER SMITH formerly of Carnkirk in the Parish of Billy and County of Antrim in Ireland, but lately of Macklinburgh County North Carolina in the United States of America spinster deceased and we further nominate constitute and appoint the said John McFadden our true and lawful attorney for us and for each and every of us and in our joint names or in the names or name of any one or more of us or in his own name to demand receover and received and to give receipts and discharges for the shares or share proportions or proportion of the Estate & Effects Goods Chattels moneys and property of JAMES SMITH late of Macklinburgh County North Carolina aforesaid farmer or planter deceased......" As I mentioned earlier, my connection is Mary Ann's half brother John. I've been searching for a connection between the Irish Smiths who were in Mecklenburg during this timeframe. I'm fairly sure I've located one of her brothers -- probably the "Smith" mentioned in the Court Minutes regarding the 1792 dispute of the sale of a "waggon" in Capt Patrick Knox's Estate. The James Knox who was involved in this transaction was none other than Capt James Knox, the grandfather of President James Knox Polk... Capt James Knox owned property on McDowell Creek during the same timeframe that Allison Knox and John Knox (son of Capt Patrick and Mary Smith Knox) owned land. I still have no idea how, or if, Capt James Knox is related to Capt Patrick Knox, and there are so few documents relating to both, we'll probably never know... My research was done in both directions...back from my John's 1853 LWT and forward from Capt Patrick Knox's Estate records. Needless to say, there are a lot of gaps in the records...but John's 1853 will had a few crumbs to follow. He left 126 acres of land he called the "Blakely place" to his son Robert J. Wilson Knox. [John Knox acquired the property about 1844 from one of the Blakely heirs] In researching the "Blakely place" I found that it's owner, Rebecca Blakely aka Blackley/Blakeley/Blakley was likely the widow of Jasper Blakely who was an early (if not the first) Ruling elder at Gilead A. R. P. in Huntersville. A David Smith was a Ruling Elder at the same time as Jasper Blakely. When David Smith (b. 1741) died in 12 Jun 1823 However...David bequeathed 120+ acres to a Rebecca Blakely, although his LWT does not specify his relationship to her. I speculate, but cannot prove, that she was his sister. He left property to several others whose relationships are not spelled out either, and who may be siblings...but two nephews are mentioned 1) "my nephew by marriage John Kenmer [Kenmore?]" and 2) "James Smith, son of my brother William in Ireland..." David Smith's nephew was still back in Ireland..and there is a paper trail in Court Minutes giving the specific location of James...and I would assume his father William...and perhaps the hometown of David Smith..and Mary (Smith) Knox, assuming she was his sister... Mecklenburg Co, NC Minutes of Court of Common Pleas & Quarter Sessions: 1824 August Session, 66 & 67 "A Power of Attorney from James Smith, County Antrim in Ireland to his brother, Hugh Smith, of South Carolina, Greenville District, to wit: Know all men by these presents that I, James Smith of Carneock, Parish of Billy, & County Antrim have made, Ordained, Nominated, Constituted and Appointed, And by these presents Do make Ordain, Nominate, Constitute and Appoint and in my name & Stead put and depute my brother Hugh Smith of Greenville District, South Carolina in the United States of America my true & Lawful Attorney, for me & in my name & for my proper use & Benefit to ask, demand, Sue for & recover of & from the Executor or Executors of my late uncle David Smith of Mecklenburg County State of No. Carolina in the United States of America..." James arrived in the United States in November 1827 (according to his tombstone at Gilead A. R. P). His "Uncle" David Smith is also buried at Gilead with his wife Nancy. In 1860 David Smith's nephew James Smith made his LWT: ------------------------------ Mecklenburg Co NC James (X) Smith 1 May 1860, prb July 1860 Ct. By oaths of the wit named below: I, James Smith, desire by this my last will and testament to put my house in order. I will to my Sister Esther Smith all notes and monies arising from the sale of property as hereinafter directed, and during her lifetime. all livestock on my farm, all household and kitchen furniture, all wagnons, and carriages, and farming implements. I also will to my sister Esther Smith, during her lifetime, my servants Green, Daniel, Judy, Harriet and her four children, Katy, Jane, John, and Margaret, as well as all my lands. I will to John McFadden, now living in my house, and at the demise of my sister Esther, my servants James and Caleb and their mother Sucry, and my land known as the Steel Place of some 187 A lying adj. Alex Caldwell and John Knox I will to Eliza Jane Eakin (Aiken), the demise of my sister Esther, my servants Martha and Eliza and their increase; to my nephew James Reid, at the death of my sister Esther, my servant Levi and my home place of some 500 A being all the land I own except for the tract bequeathed to John McFadden. ------------------------------ Now...looking backward...in 1850, this same James Smith was living next door to my John Knox in the Ramah District of Mecklenburg Co, NC. [I noticed him years ago, because one of my John's daughters married a Smith...and I wondered if this family was related to John's son-in-law. When I discovered that John's mother was a Smith, I discounted James Smith...because he was a "late comer" b. 1785, Ireland, who didn't arrive until 1827...and only recently realized that my dismissal was premature...] Back to David Smith...before he died in 1823, David appears in 1818 Court Minutes with John Knox, November Session, 189: Nov 23, 1818 "Ordered by Court that John Knox Administer on the Estate of Jane Knox, Decd, who appeared in Court and was Qualified and entered into bond with David Smith, Security, in the some of ?250." I think this is Jane Knox...sister of my John Knox...and David Smith...his/her uncle? Jane died intestate and there are loose estate papers which I've ordered and hope to get soooon... I doubt there is much there, but am hoping that something will prove John was her brother. All of this, of course, is circumstantial evidence so far -- but there is a lot of it.

| 418 | Presbytery Church of Carolinas and Georgia 1797: March 1797 , Carolinas "The beginning of the church at Long Cane was in a fort where the settlers would go for safety. After the Cherokee and the Creek massacres people built Fort Boone which served as a haven of safety as well as a 'school house' and also served as a 'meeting house' where the settlers assembled for worship. In an Act, dated February 7, 1780, the church at Fort Boone was incorporated as the 'Presbyterian Church called Fort Boone congregation at Long Cane settlement.' Prior to this Long Cane Associate Reformed Presbyterian church was organized in 1771 as Associate Presbyterian church. A number of the congregation were from Ireland who along with about one hundred families left Newry, Ireland for America. They arrived in New York on the 28th of July on the ship John. This large body of passsengers were all part of the Rev. Clarke?s congregation from Ireland. Part of this group went to Salem, New York and the other part migrated to Long Canes section and formed the congregations of Little Run, Long Cane and Cedar Creek (later Cedar Spring) churches. Dr. Clark visited his congreation in 1771 as a result of this visit the church was organized. He also visited the church in 1779, as an order of Presbytery and again he visited in 1782. Dr. Clark spent the remainder of 1782 and the greater part of 1783 at Long Cane, Little Run (Little River) and Cedar Spring (organized in 1782. In the summer of 1783 he was called North and identified himself with the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church (organized in 1782); and during this time he labored as a missionary among the churches of this branch in the North. Sometime between 1772 and 1775 Rev. William Martin came to America in 1772 from Ballymena, Ireland and who was pastor at Catholic church, Chester county, preached at Long Cane. Another supply minister Rev. William Ronaldson also preached at the church as well as at Joppa, Jefferson county, Georgia, and at Poplar Springs, Georgia. Dr. Clark preached his last sermon at Long Cane Meeting House, December 25, 1791, he died soon afterwards. A larger church replaced the same site of the original log church on land that was given by James Hutcherson survey. Following Dr. Clark?s death Long Cane had supplies for four years. The first year, the Rev. Peter McMillan(frequently written as McMullan) pastor of Due West, supplied when he was able. In 1770, Rev. Alexander Porter, the first native-born minister of the Presbytery of the Carolinas and Georgia was born. He was born and grew up near Parsons Mount (named by the owner of this mount and surrounding land, James Parsons, a lawyer, of Charleston), Abbeville County. After completing his education and theological training at Dickinson College, Pennsylvania and having been licensed to preach by the Second Associate Reformed Presbytery of Pennsylvania, he returned home and began to preach at Long Cane and Cedar Spring, January 1, 1797.

I believe he was given a land grant by the gov. for his military service, possibly in Franklin Co., GA). He and his family would have moved there afterward.

The earliest attested Campbell is Gilleasbaig of Menstrie (floruit 1260s), father of Cailean Mór, from whom the chiefs of the clan are thought to have taken their style MacCailean Mór. The byname kambel is recorded at this time. Fanciful reconstructions derive it from the French de Campo Bello, but the likely source is the caimbeul, an Early Modern Irish or Gaelic by name meaning wry mouth, crooked mouth or twisted mouth. Regarding the earlier ancestors of Clan Campbell, there is good evidence that the Campbells themselves traced their descent from an earlier kindred known as the Mac Duibne, or perhaps the Uí Duibne. It has been suggested that the family's early landholdings, around Menstrie, and in Cowal, were related to the partition of the Mormaerdom of Mentieth in 1213, and that Gilleasbuig may have been a kinsman of Mormaer Muireadhach Mór. The lands around Loch Awe, which would later form the core of their possessions, were not held at an early date. The name begins to be established in Argyll at the end of the 13th century, as followers of the Earl of Lennox, with Campbells owning lands in Kintyre and the famous warrior Cailean Mór (Great Colin) knighted (1280) and established at Loch Awe. Cailean Mór's older brother established at Strachur forming the oldest branch of Clan Campbell, see Campbell of Strachur. Between 1200 and 1500 the Campbells emergerd as one of the most powerful families in Gaelic speaking Scotland, dominant in Argyll and capable of wielding a wider influence and authority in the Hebrides and western Highlands. Wars of Scottish Independence The family of Colin Campbell went on to become firm supporters of King Robert the Bruce and benefited from his successes with grants of lands, titles and good marriages. They fought for the Bruce against the English at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314 during the Wars of Scottish Independence. During the 14th century the Clan Campbell rapidly expanded its lands and power. This is partly explained by the loyalty of Sir Niall Campbell (Niall mac Caile), (d.1315), to the cause of Robert I of Scotland (the Bruce) - a loyalty which was rewarded with marriage to Bruce's sister Mary. The family was closely associated with the Bruces and Stewarts in the time of Cailean Mór and his son Sir Niall mac Cailein. Cailean Mór was killed in battle against the Clan MacDougall, enemies of Bruce and Stewart, and Sir Niall was a staunch ally of King Robert Bruce. Cailean Mór's mother Affrica of Carrick was probably the first cousin of King Robert's mother, Marjorie, Countess of Carrick. 15th century & royal relations Descendants of Sir Duncan Campbell, 1st Lord Campbell (Donnchadh) and his wife Lady Marjorie Stewart would be descendants of Robert the Bruce, King of Scotland and Robert II Stewart, King of Scotland. Lady Marjorie Stewart, b. 1390 was the daughter of King Robert II's son, Robert Stewart, 1st Duke of Albany. This would make all descendants of Sir Dunchan Campbell and Lady Marjorie Stewart descendants of Robert I Bruce and most of the early Kings of Scotland. The first Lord Campbell was created in 1445. It was from the 15th century that the Campbells came to take an increasingly prominent role. The personal reign of James I of Scotland, saw that king launch a geat political assault on the Albany Stewarts and their allies in the west, however Duncan Campbell, 1st lord Campbell (Donnchadh), escaped the fate of his Albany kinsmen who were all either executed or exiled. Colin Campbell, 1st Earl of Argyll (Cailean) was en-nobled as the Earl of Argyll in 1457 and later became Baron of Lorn and was also granted lands in Knapdale, signs that the Argylls were one of the major forces in Scotland. In 1493 after the forfeiture of the MacDonald, Lord of the Isles, the Campbell lords may well have viewed themselves as natural successors to the Clan Donald in terms of leadership of the Gaels of the Hebrides and western Highlands. The Campbell lordship thus remained one of the most significant bastions of Gaelic learning and culture in late medieval and early modern Scotland. 16th century & clan conflicts Scottish clan map. Battle of Flodden Field, 1513, During the Anglo-Scottish Wars of the 16th century the Clan Campbell, led by Archibald Campbell, 2nd Earl of Argyll fought on the side of King James IV of Scotland against an English Army. Many of the powerful Earls of Scotland participated in this battle which is sometimes referred to as the Charge of the Earls. Battle of Pinkie Cleugh, 1547, Later during the Anglo-Scottish Wars the Clan Campbell was among the Scottish forces who fought the English at Pinkie on 10 September 1547. Due to the large number of Scottish lives lost at this battle the 10th of September is remembered today in Scotland as Black Saturday. Battle of Langside 1568, The chief of Clan Campbell, Archibald Campbell, 5th Earl of Argyll, commanded the forces who fought for Mary, Queen of Scots against the forces of the Regent Moray, who were commanded by William Kirkcaldy of Grange. In 1567, a conflict took place between the Clan Campbell and Clan Arthur. Duncan MacArthur and his son of the Loch Awe MacArthur family, became the victims of their own success when jealousy of their power drove neighbours to drown them in Loch Awe during a skirmish with the Clan Campbell. In the archives of Inveraray Castle a charter dated 1567 confirms that a pardon was granted to the Campbells of Inverawe for the 'drowning of Clan Arthur'. It is believed that the MacArthurs trying to defend themselves were driven into the loch. Centuries later in the 1970s an ancient sword was unearthed on the shore of the loch. Battle of Glenlivet, 1594, Archibald Campbell, 7th Earl of Argyll's forces of Clan Campbell, Clan Stewart of Atholl, Clan Forbes and the Chattan Confederation of Clan MacKintosh fought against the Earl of Huntly who was supported by the Clan Gordon, Clan Comyn and the Clan Cameron. 17th century & Civil War During the Civil War, the Clan Campbell fought as Covenanters. In 1644, the Clan Irvine, who were staunch royalist supporters, found themselves surrounded by Covenanter clans. The Irvine's Drum Castle was sacked on May 2, 1644 by the Clan Campbell. A chair with Drum symbols, now in the Scottish Museum, Edinburgh, is believed to have been taken from Drum Castle either in 1644 by the Campbells or in 1640 when a previous raid was carried out by General Robert Monro. Battle of Inverlochy (1645), The Scottish Argyll Covenanter forces of Clan Campbell led by Archibald Campbell, 1st Marquess of Argyll were defeated by the Royalist forces of James Graham, 1st Marquess of Montrose mainly made up from Clan MacDonald, Clan MacLean and other MacDonald allies from Ireland. After the Battle of Inverlochy in 1645 James Graham, 1st Marquess of Montrose laid siege to Castle Campbell but was unable to beat the Clan Campbell defenders and failed to take the castle. In 1646, the Clan Campbell, neighbours of the Clan Lamont, had steadily encroached the Lamont's lands. After the Battle of Inverlochy in 1645, the Clan Lamont took the opportunity to lay waste to the Campbell's territory. The following year, the powerful Clan Campbell army invaded the Clan Lamont taking their Castles Toward and Ascog. Sir James Lamont surrendered after accepting fair terms for his people, but the Campbells then slaughtered over two hundred of Lamont's men, women and children. Elsewhere, one tree was said to have carried thirty five bodies from its branches, and another thirty six men were buried alive. The two Lamont castles were decimated and Sir James Lamont was thrown into a dungeon for five years. This event became known as the Dunoon Massacre. In 1647, the Argyll government troops of Clan Campbell, led by Stuart A Campbell, attacked and laid siege to Duart Castle of the Clan MacLean, but they were defeated and driven off by the Royalist troops of the Clan MacLean. Battle of Stirling (1648), The forces of Archibald Campbell, 1st Marquess of Argyll were defeated by the forces of Sir George Munro, 3rd of Obsdale who supported the Earl of Lanerick. Among Argyll's dead was William Campbell of Glenfalloch and Sir Colin Campbell of Ardkinglas killed in action. Battle of Altimarlech, 1678, A battle took place between the Clan Campbell and Clan Sinclair. Legend has it that so many Sinclairs were killed that the Campbells were able to cross the river without getting their feet wet. Clearly, however, the Sinclairs had influence in high places as a few years later, in 1681, they regained the earldom by an order of Parliament. In 1678 Archibald Campbell, 9th Earl of Argyll, son of the Marquess of Argyll, successfully invaded the Clan MacLean lands on the Isle of Mull and garrisons Duart Castle. Later in 1691 Duart Castle was surrendered by the Clan MacLean to the chief of Clan Campbell, Archibald Campbell, 1st Duke of Argyll. In 1692, 78 unarmed MacDonalds were murdered in the Massacre of Glencoe when a government initiative to suppress Jacobitism was entangled in the long running feud between Clan MacDonald and Clan Campbell. The slaughter of the MacDonalds at the hands of the soldiers, led by Captain Robert Campbell of Glenlyon, after enjoying their hospitality for over a week was a major affront of Scottish Law and Highland tradition. The majority of soldiers were not Campbells, but a roll call from a few months before included six Campbells in addition to Cpt. Robt. Campbell: Corporal Achibald Campbell, Private Archibald Campbell (elder), Private Donald Campbell (younger), Private Archibald Campbell (younger), Private James Campbell, Private Donald Campbell (elder), and Private Duncan Campbell. Retrieved from: Earl of Argyll's Regiment of Foot 18th century & Jacobite Uprisings The Black Watch tartan, also known as the Government sett, or the Campbell tartan. The tartan was used, and is in current use, by several military units throughout the Commonwealth. 1715 to 1719 Jacobite Rising On 23 October 1715, chief John Campbell, 2nd Duke of Argyll having learned that a detachment of rebels was passing by Castle Campbell, towards Dunfermline, sent out a body of cavalry, which came up with the party, and defeated it, taking a number of gentlemen prisoners, with the damage of one dragoon wounded in the cheek, and one horse slightly hurt. A month later the British government forces of Clan Campbell fought and defeated the Jacobites at the Battle of Sheriffmuir in 1715. However there were in fact a small number Campbells who took the side of the Jacobites led by the son of Campbell of Glenlyon whose father had commanded the government troops at the Massacre of Glencoe 22 years earlier. The two young men 'buried the hatchet' and swore to be brothers in arms, fighting side by side in the Sheriffmuir. However the British government forces led by the Argyll Campbells defeated the Jacobites. The Black Watch In 1725 six Independent Black Watch companies were formed. Three from Clan Campbell, one from Clan Fraser, one from Clan Munro and one from Clan Grant. These companies were known by the name Reicudan Dhu, or Black Watch. Taking advantage of the partisan nature and warrior instincts of the highlanders, these men were authorised to wear the kilt and to bear arms, thus it was not difficult to find recruits. The regiment was then officially known as the 42nd Regiment of Foot. 1745 to 1746 Jacobite Rising During the Jacobite Uprisings of 1745 to 1746 the Clan Campbell continued their support for the British Government. They fought against the rebel Jacobites at the Battle of Falkirk (1746) where government forces were defeated. However shortly afterwards the Clan Campbell held out during the Siege of Fort William. The Jacobites could not defeat the Campbell defenders who had been well supplied. Eventually the Campbells sent out their own force from Fort William who defeated the besieging Jacobites and captured their siege cannons. Soon afterwards men of the Clan Campbell who formed part of Loudon's Highlanders Regiment helped to finally defeat the Jacobites at the Battle of Culloden in 1746. Campbell's castles Inveraray Castle, seat of the Duke of Argyll, Chief of Clan Campbell. Inveraray Castle in Argyll is the current seat of the Chief of Clan Campbell. The castle became the centre of the Clan when they abandoned Castle Campbell during the Civil War of the 17th century. Other Campbell lands were scattered across Angus, Ayrshire (Loudoun), Clackmannan (Argyll), Nairnshire (Cawdor) Perthshire, Seahouses (Northumberland). Castle Campbell or Castle Gloom was the seat of the chief of Clan Campbell until 1654 when they moved to Inveraray Castle. Kilchurn Castle was also owned by the Clan Campbell family. Edinample Castle was built in the late 16th century. Carnasserie Castle has belonged to the Clan Campbell since the 16th century. Saddell Castle was owned by the Campbells from the late 17th century onwards. Finlarig Castle built by the Campbells of Breadalbane in the 17th century. Taymouth Castle built by the Campbells of Breadalbane in the 19th century.

It is also known as the Campbell of Argyll, or Campbell of Lochawe. In the late eighteenth century this tartan was in use by the Duke of Argyll. The tartan is the Black Watch tartan with additional white and yellow stripes. Later Dukes sought to exclude the white and yellow stripes, which they claimed were only used to distinguish Chiefs. Clan Campbell has several recognized tartans: Campbell: More commonly known as the Black Watch tartan or the Government Sett. The Black Watch, first raised in 1725, was the first Highland Regiment in the British Army. All Campbell tartans are based upon the Black Watch tartan, as are many clan tartans. The tartan was used, and is in current use, by several military units throughout the Commonwealth. Campbell of Breadalbane: This tartan may be worn by Campbells of the Breadalbane, or Glenorchy branches. Campbell of Cawdor: This tartan may be worn by members of the Campbell of Cawdor branch. Campbell of Loudoun: This tartan may be worn by members of the Campbell of Loudoun branch. Chief The current clan chief is Torquhil Ian Campbell, 13th Duke of Argyll.

Louis Jared Deupree served as a Colonel in General Bate's command, became a journalist and editor of several publications, as well as serving as the Consul to Honduras. Birmingham, Ala.. Nov. 3, (18)85 Dear Cousin, I bear the name of Lewis J. Dupree who lived 60 years in Lexington and fifteen or 20 in Athens Ga. where he died. My Grandfather Daniel Dupree was his uncle. In any event he used to call him "Uncle Daniel". I lived with my Grandfather 5 miles from Lexington on the road to Athens when I was a schoolboy at Penfield where Mercer University was then located. My mother was Miss Francina Boleyn Cox. She was the adopted child of her fatherrs childless sister, Mrs. Ransom who lived on a farm next Jack Greer's 4 miles from Athens. She had a home in Athens where I was born fifty years ago very nearly. I was a wild boy and when at Penfield, and afterwards at the University of Ala and afterwards at the Law School, "Cousin Lewis:' had to send me money--not very large sums but I needed it sadly and I was grateful and loved him always. My Grandfather was a queer old coon. He was as generous to me and my follies and extravagances as if he had never flattened a penny by squeezing it; but he use to groan and I heard him tell my grandmother, whose maiden name was Ellington that he thought I would bankrupt all the family. Mr father grew rich despite my follies and when the war came he owned two of the finest cotton plantations in MississiIrpi and had $80,000 invested in a mercantile concern that paid him a rich revenue. All this except one plantation that supports my aged mother, is all that is left of his possessions. He died four years ago having built the great cotton mills at Enterprise, Miss. a few years earlier. He had rare genius of money making and my mother was his intellectual superior. The Jack Greer, "Corporal" Greer, as everybody used to call him, was a wanderful character. He was my mother's first cousin, as was his wife, who died last year at the old homestead 4 miles from Athens on the road to my Grandfather's and to Lexington. Cousin Drewry Dupree spent a year or two, long ago, with my father, when I was a boy, on my father's plantation in Mississippi. Does he still live? He must be a very old man, and a better one, my father thought, did not live. I have been an editor ever since I was grown, for many years in St. Louis and Memphis and for -5 years past in Washingtcn City. I used to write often for the Sunny South at Atlanta over the signature L. J. D. I have a daughter, Mrs. Dr. C. W. Jarnagin in Atlanta and another, of whom I spoke in former letter, in Conservatory of music. I am here, how long to remain I don't know--but I am editing the Birmingham Age. I started the coming conventions at Tuscaloosa, Savannah and St. Louis relating to rivers, ports and Eads Ship Railway; but I can't remain here I think and if I cannot effect a permanent arrangement with the divergent and numerous proprietors of the concern, I'll return to Washington and resume ny business as newspaper correspondent. Mean-while I'll stop a few days with my daughter in Atlanta and if possible see you. Do you know anything of the sons of Joe Ellington "Dupree", Elijah, Tom, etc., etc? They lived at Newnan. They were related to me. I'll send a photograph as soon as I can get a supply--possibly not till I get to Washington Meanwhile write me here. I am fraternally Yr cousin Louis J. Dupree" (over) Continued - "Atty Gen'l Sam Lumpkin of Lexington is the son of my first cousin Sally Lumpkin, whose mother was my father's sister.

Lucia Hunt Hacker, Marion Apts., Griffin, Ga. 30223, has in her possession a small business card on which is inscribed the following: 'I have resumed the practice of Medicine at Indian Springs. Thankful for past favors I respectfully solicit continuance of the same. L. J. Dupree, M. D. Indian Spring. Butts Co., Dec. 1, 1861" His great grandfather was Lewis Deupree, son of Thomas Deupree of Lunenburg Co., Va. These relationships are proven conclusively elsewhere herein. Thomas Deupree's father also was Thomas who married Margaret Easley. The latter Thomas did die in Henrico Co., Va., ca. 1725, but there is great doubt that he ever owned more than a small grant (Patent) of land. His wife inherited 150 acres in Henrico Co. from her father, Robert Easley. It's possible that some of the acreage owned by either could have come down to their son, Thomas of Lunenburg Co; however, there are no Henrico records to support this. Lewis, the father of Daniel, sold his holdings in Lunenburg and Mecklenburg Counties in the early 1790s and removed to Laurens Co., S. C., where he died ca. 1799. This was Louis J. DuPre's great grandfather. He must have disposed of most of his property before death, as the inventory of his estate, filed by his son, Drury the administrator, showed a modest amount of property. - Some interested descendant might learn much about the early ancestry of this family by delving into the Court records of Henrico Co. I suggest that sane information might be found under "Land Causes". Old letters can be a treasury of information; however, take the "leads" they give and prove them. The two letters below were copied from a manuscript file at the Virginia Historical Society Library, 428 N. Boulevard, Richmond, Va., File Classification: Mss 1 B 1463b 5514-5765. Box 23 of 197, The Bagby Family Papers, Section 46 (DU-GIB). The letters were written by Louis J. Dupree of Clinton, Miss., to the wife of George W. Bagby and to the Virginia State Library, respectively, both of Richmond, Va. (Letters inadvertently reversed below): Note: George William Bagby (1828-1883) was Publisher of the Lynchburg Express; wrote for Harper's New Monthly Magazine; was Editor of the Southern Literary Messenger; and was an author and a lecturer, generally in the light vein. Each of the letters referred to bore a 1 x 1 picture of their author pasted on the upper left corner of the first page, under which he had signed his name as shown above, but omitting the "J". Only the signature to the second letter shows the "J". The first letter was written on letter-head stationery captioned, "Editorial Rooms Daily News, Birmingham, Ala." Birmingham, Ala., had been struck through, and the letter was headed Clinton, Mississippi", #1: "Mch 22/91 To the Librarian When I was last in Richmond Mrs D'r Geo. W.

Her husband & I were associated for a time as Journalists in the 'Old Whig' office, 'bello flagrantion' in Richmond. I hope she still serves the State & will be kind enough to answer the questions I propound. With great respect I am yrs very truly Louis DuPre" (Note: The questions he referred to were not with this letter, nor were they located). The second letter was typewritten, double spaced, on legal size paper. #2: "Clinton, Mississippi April 6th 1891 Dear Mrs Bagby; My acquaintance and friendly relations with Dr. Bagby began even in my boyhood. He and I and the late Sunset Cox of glorious memory met in Washington at Buchanan's inauguration. I remained some weeks in the Fed. capital while whe (sie) Dr. was there only a day or two. But we never forgot the accident and good fortune involved in this day spent so joyously with the most brilliant youth, as Mr. Cox was then esteemed, of his time. But he and Tom Corwin were inveterate jesters as matchless orators and I had the good fortune to hear Corwin tell my late father-in-law, James C. Jones that if he had never "cracked a jode he would have been President. Then again, in 1863 when for a time I was Clerk of a Com. on Military affairs of the Confed. Congress, I made Dr. Bagby's my office which was that of Mr, Moseley Ed, of the Old Richmond Whig. Do you remember Mr. Moseley? What a frank, confiding, generous old gentleman he was! I was introduced to him by Dr. B. as a "newspaper man". An hour later Mr. Moseley was summoned to the country. I was still in in Dr. B 's "telegraph" apartment. He approached me saying, "you have been reading the Whig and know what it advocates and opposes". " want you to run it for me till I return',. Do you know that I will be more boastful of this trust reposed and of the fidlity (sie) and skill. With which I executed it than of laudation conceded by the Dep't of State when I served it in an international embroglio By the way, Mr. Moseley --and. Gov. Jones were singularly alike in person, stature - singularly tall and slendor -- and their photographs were fac similes. Jones was born at the Hermitage in Tenn. but his father and mother were Virginians as are these all of people that get to heaven I humbly imagine - when writing to a loyal Virginenne And this leads me to inquire whether, in delveng (sie) amon:g old books or pamphlets which I exploited somewhat when I was Committee clerk, as aforesaid State Library, you ever encountered any allusion to persons of:--- name grandfather, Dan'l DuPre was, in his youth, a soldier under LaFayette to be 90 years old dying, in 1848, in Lexington Va. I used to hear and see the the old gentleman when he was "fighting all his battles o'er again". The old man never loved Geo. Washington, He said that he and and LaFayette starved out (p. 2) Cornwallis and finally cooped him up in Yorktown. Then came DeGresse and Hochambeau, and when the French, under LaFayette, an land, and under De-Grease, at sea, had won the victory, 'the good and great G. W. hustled down from Tappul were (sie) he had been hanging poor Andre far six or 8 months, and nodestly received Cornwallis' sword reporting to Congress a greet Victory for she Country,s paternal ancestor, so-called. Many thanks, Mrs Bagby, for answers to to those historical and other questions propounded The others, unanswered are immaterial. It occurs to me at the moment, that I have a letter from Hon. Henry L. Bentley of Abeline Texas - the matchless orator of those parts - inquiring about the history and deeds of my grandfather. Bentley's grandfather was also named Dan'l DuPre. He was forty years Pres't and Cashier of the state Bank Of N. C. at Raleigh. He and my grandfather (sie), I opine, were first cousins. Their father or grandfather came, with senator Bayard's people, to Phil'a about 1670. That's all I know about them. My great grandfather owned thie site of the present town of Manchester your Richmond suburb. He sold 99 year leases, These expired about thirty years ago. Christian and Carrington were employed by the heirs of this old Dan'l DuPre, my grandfather, to sue for the property. All records had been burned twice or thrice. We could prove nothing, and the legislature of Va properly legislatd to quiet titles and very properly I was suppressed. However I am pleased to tell you that I am the hereditary owner of much realty about Richmond. The additional fact remains to be stated that my mother's name was Francine Bolling Cox and this fact induced me to seek the acquaintance of Sunset Cox, as heretofore stated. Two of my' mother's uncles were in the battle at Monmouth Court House, N. J. One was wounded and remained in tht (sie) State and was married there. I fancied that Sunset Cox (barn in N.J.) might be my cousin. I mentioned the matter once. He only laughed at the odd conceit saying "I always knew that I was of royal blood." My mother's mother was named Cabinesse.; her grandfather was John Cox to whom the Crown issued a grant on parchment from King Charles, I think it was, conveying to 'John Cox Gent'. the County of Dinwiddie. My father's home was destroyed bello flagrante with every old book and heirloom of the house. I wish to answer Mr. Bentley's letter. Before doing so I would gladly hear from you. There is something in that old Library about every old family of the old Dominion. I am, with sincere regard, Yrs sincerely Louis J. DuPre" On the reverse of the last page of the above letter was the following in long-hand: "You had an admirable portrait of Henry Clay & I have his watch. Don't you remember the conversation evoked by these facts at your home? (Also) Gov. 6( U. S. Senator James C. Jones was named James 'Chamberlayne' Jones. See what is said of him within."

| 422 | Richard Lee, Col. b. 1617/18, Worcestershire, England, d. 1 Mar 1664, Dividing Creek, Northumberland Co., VA, m. Mar 1641, Jamestown, VA, Ann Constable b. 1621/22, England. An early account of Richard Lee is given in Lee of VA, p. 49, in a passage written by William Lee in 1771, is as follows: “Richard Lee, of a good family in Shropshire (and whose Picture I am told is now at Coton, near Bridgenorth, the seat of Launcelot Lee, Esq.), some time in the Reign of Charles the first, went over to the Colony of Virginia, as Secretary, and one of the King’s Privy Council….He was a man of good Stature, comely visage, and enterprising genius, a sound head, vigorous spirit and generous nature. When he got to Virginia, which was at that time not much cultivated, he was so pleased with the Country that he made large settlements there with the servants he had carried over; after some years, he returned to England, and gave away all the lands he had taken up, and settled at his own expense, to those servants he had fixed on them; some of whose descendants are now possessed of very considerable Estates in that Colony. After staying some Time in England, he returned again to Virginia, with a fresh band of Adventurers, all of whom he settled there.” In 1646, Richard Lee sat on the York bench as a magistrate, with a Dr. Henry Lee, who married Marah Adkins. Richard patented 1,250 acres in York Co., VA in 1648, and named, amongst his headrights, Henry, Matthew, and George Lee, who may have been his relatives. That Richard settled first in York Co., is proven by the grant of 1,000 acres, dated 10 Aug 1642; the patent states that his land was due “unto the said Richard Lee by and for his own personal Adventure, his wife Ann, and John Francis and by assignment from Mr. Thomas Hill, Florentine Paine and William Freeman of their right of land due for the transportation of Seaventeene p’sons.” This land was the plantation, Paradise in his will, and bequeathed to his second son, Richard. This name is frequently applied to subsequent records to this plantation; as on the 22nd of July, 1674, in a patent issued to “Major Richard Lee for 1,140 acres in Gloster, called Paradise, on a branch of Poropotank Creek; 1,000 thereof being due to said Richard Lee by two former patents, and the residence now found to be within the bounds.” Richard represented York County as Burgess in 1647, and in 1651 “Mr. Lee” was paid for services as Burgess of Northumberland County. “It seems possible that Richard Lee was engaged in commerce as well as agriculture, and that he had an interest in vessels trading between England and Virginia, as had many of the large planters. In his will, he bequeathed to his son, Francis, his interest in two ships, which was 1/8th part in each vessel. He appears to have made frequent voyages to and fro; being in England in 1654-55, again in 1659, and later in 1661 and in 1663.” Richard’s first home in Virginia was on the York River, near the head of Poropotank Creek, where he had a store or warehouse. His next home was located on the Dividing Creeks in Northumberland, which afforded a very safe harbor. The main creek is only a mile or two long; then it divides into branches, which makes several small peninsulas or “necks” as they were formerly called. On two of these necks Richard Lee located his two plantations, where we can find grants for 800 and 600 acres in 1651 and 1656 respectively. Richard was not only Burgess for several counties, but served in several capacities, having been Justice, member of the Council and Secretary of State. He also served on various commissions. [See Lee of VA, p.59]. While in England in 1663, his wife and children being there also, Richard made his will; the wording of this will indicates that he had given up his intention of settling permanently in England. For he ordered that his estate there should be sold, gave minute directions for the payment of his debts, and closing up of his interests in that country, and made arrangements for the settlement of his children in Virginia. The account of his property given in his will shows him to have been possessed of considerable wealth- for that day. If his tobacco crop was actually worth L2000 a year, as Gibbon estimated, and his estate at Stratford-Langton, L800 a year, as stated by William Lee, then Richard Lee must have enjoyed an income larger than most of the early planters. His will was executed in London 6 Feb 1663/64, prov. 10 Jan 1664/65, London, England. | Lee, Richard I (I8085)

| 424 | Samuel Wilson was crippled from injuries he received while fighting for the Crown in the French and Indian War. As such, he was unable to serve in the Revolutionary War. In 1791, he and his wife Sarah and four sons moved to Gallatin, Tennessee where they erected a fort called Walnut Field Station. By 1797, he had been granted 640 acres in North Sumner County and 3,000 acres in Marshall, Bedford, and Williamson Counties. Old Sumner, A History of Sumner County, TN, From 1805-1861 by Walter T.

It was formed from a part of Davidson County and was named in honor of Gen. Jethro Sumner, a gallant officer in the Revolutionary war. It was the second county formed in Middle Tennessee. Cisco says, "the curtain of history arises on Sumner County in the year 1779, when a settlement of a dozen families was formed near Bledsoe's Lick," now Castalian Springs. Before this day, however, Thomas Sharp Spencer and others had come into the Cumberland country, in 1777, had built a number of cabins about one-half mile west of Bledsoe's Lick, and in 1778 had planted some corn. This was the first agricultural effort made by men of the Anglo-Saxon race in Middle Tennessee. Col. Isaac Bledsoe built a fort or station about a quarter of a mile west of Bledsoe's Lick, and his brother, Col. Anthony Bledsoe, built a fort two and one-half miles north of the Lick, and called it "Greenfield." Asher and others built a fort a little southeast of Gallatin. Forts were also built by John Morgan, Maj. Jas. White, Colonel Sanders, Jacob Zeigler, Capt. Jos. Wilson, ancestor of Judge S. F. Wilson, of the State Court of Chancery Appeals, Kasper Mansker, Hamilton, and others. Among the early settlers were: Col. Isaac Bledsoe, Col. Anthony Bledsoe, Robert Desha, Jordan Gibson, Henry Loving, Wm. Morrison, John Morgan, John Sawyer, Robt. Steele, Jacob Zeigler, Henry Ramsey, Wm. Hall, Hugh Rogan, David Shelby, Geo. D.

Caddell Mother: Margt. Trumble FHL Film Number: 990751 Reference ID: - 2:167GB3F JAMES BANKS CADDELL, born (1730), according to family tradition came from Ireland to the Colonies. He was first reported living during 1751 in Craven County, NC, where he married and later moved to Cumberland County, NC by 1767. Moore County, formed in 1784, became the home for this group of CADDELL's. Some members of the family still live in the area. In a letter from Isaiah "Sie" CADDELL of Sanford, NC, dated 19 Jun 1933, he stated that James (Banks) CADDELL was born in Ireland. However, I have seen no record showing his place of birth. One researcher showed James married Catherine Black of Craven County, NC. Records of the National Archives, Washington, DC, listed James CADDELL's service as a foot soldier from Craven County, NC, dated January 6, 1751, commanded by Captain Thomas Graves, from the "district from the lower side of Sow West Crick to the town bounds." The muster roll dated 15 Oct 1754, listed Private James CADDEL. Deed records of Craven County, NC showed the following: February 21, 1753, James CADDELL purchased 162 acres on the "east side of Southwest Creek ...." October 20, 1762, from Thomas Thames to James CADDELL, 100 acres, Book 2, page 514. James sold the land on September 26, 1771 to John Carlton. October 20, 1764, an act of annexing part of Craven County to Dobbs County, NC, "...a line from Southwest Bridge near James CADDELL's to Carnegy's old field and Rattle Snake branch, then a direct line to William Randoll's Mill on Trent River...." James CADDELL was listed in the Craven County tax rolls for 1753, 1762 and 1764. (From the State Library of NC): Craven was first created as Archdale Precinct of Bath County in 1705. The name was changed about 1712. It was named in honor of William Lord Craven, one of the Lords Proprietors of Carolina. It is in the eastern section of the State and is bounded by Carteret, Jones, Lenoir, Pitt, Beaufort and Pamlico counties. The present land area is 708.43 square miles and the population in 2000 was 91,523. The county seat was first called Chattawka, or Chattoocka, and later. in 1723, Newbern. New Bern - the law fixed the spelling in 1897 - is the county seat. Cumberland was formed in 1754 from Bladen. It was named in honor of William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland, third son of King George II. Cumberland was the commander of the English Army at the Battle of Culloden, in which the Scotch Highlanders were defeated in 1746. Many of them came to America, and their principal settlement was in Cumberland County. Cumberland was changed to Fayette County in early 1784, but the act was repealed at the next General Assembly, which met in November, 1784. It is in the southeastern section of the State and is bounded by Sampson, Bladen, Robeson, Hoke, Harnett and Johnston counties. The present land area is 652.72 square miles and its 2000 population was 302,963. The county seat was first called Cumberland Court House. In 1762 Campbellton was established at Cross Creek with provisions for the public buildings. In 1778 Cross Creek and Campbellton were joined and the courthouse was ordered to be erected in that part of the town known as Cross Creek. In 1783 Campbellton was changed to Fayetteville in honor of Lafayette. Fayetteville is the county seat. Cumberland County, NC records included a deed dated 3 Jul 1767 which showed James purchased 150 acres from Thomas McLendon Jr. for a sum of £50. The records also showed James deeded a parcel of land to John Carleton in 1771. On 18 Jan 1773, James CADDELL proved a deed for William Richardson and his wife Elizabeth. He later received a grant of 200 acres on 24 Mar 1773. Moore was formed in 1784 from Cumberland. It was named in honor of Captain Alfred Moore of Brunswick. a soldier of the Revolution and afterwards a Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. It is in the south central section of the State and is bounded by Cumberland, Harnett, Hoke, Scotland, Richmond, Montgomery, Randolph, Chatham and Lee counties. The present land area is 697.74 square miles and the 2000 population was 74,762. The act establishing the county provided for the erection of the public buildings. In 1795 an act was passed which stated that the location of the courthouse was inconvenient; it named commissioners to purchase land near the center of the county and erect a new courthouse. In 1796 an act was passed establishing Carthage on land where the courthouse was to stand. In 1803 an act was passed naming commissioners to lay out a town and build a courthouse as directed in the 1796 act. In 1806 Carthage was changed to Fagansville. In 1818, Fagansville was changed back to Carthage. Carthage is the county seat. Moore County records showed a plat dated October 20, 1767, listing James CADDELL located on McLendon's Creek above the mouth of Tom's Creek, three miles west of the Carthage post office. Land was listed for James CADDLE (CADDELL), 24 May 1773, 200 acres, Cumberland County, NC, lower side of McLendons creek, south of Deep river (north part of what became Moore county in 1784), joining Thomas McLendon The 1790 census of Moore County listed the following: John Milton Glascock - 1 male (16+), 2 males (-16), 2 females James Caddell - 4 males (16+), 2 females Jonathan Caddell - 1 male (16+), 4 females, 1 slave William Caddell - 1 male (16+), 2 females John Caddell - 1 male (16+), 2 males (-16), 1 female James Banks Caddell’s son, Daniel, was administrator of his estate, 7 May 1804, Moore County, NC. A Moore County tax roll for 1815 listed the following: Jonathan Caddell 100 acres $150 William Caddill Sr. 150 acres $300 Daniel Caddell 340 acres $680 Benjamin Caddell 100 acres $100 Benjamin Caddell 200 acres $50 Benjamin Caddell 100 acres $50 The names of James' children with their birth dates come from the Caddell Bible records. James Banks Caddell lived in Craven Co., NC from 1751 to 1767. He lived in Cumberland Co., NC from 1767 to 1784, then Moore Co., NC from 1784 to 1804, where he died.

| 445 | Telemacus (Telemachus, Telemarcus) Alexander was born September 1, 1795, the second child of Silas and Mary Alexander of McAlpine Creek in Mecklenburg County. He had six brothers and two sisters. His grandparents were Hezekiah and Mary Sample Alexander, remembered for their construction of a lasting stone house and for Hezekiah's political activities during the American Revolution.1 Telemacus was undoubtedly educated as other boys from Mecklenburg families of "Scotch-Irish" origin were in the days when the United States was a new country. His teacher would have been Reverend James Wallis, minister of Providence Presbyterian Church and principal of Providence Academy,2 which was described as a "classical school."3 Latin and Greek language and literature were an essential part of a proper education in early America. Silas named his second child for a character in an ancient Greek story called The Odyssey, by Homer. He was the son of King Odysseus, and he helped his father defeat his rivals.4 Military Service As a young man, Telemacus served in the War of 1812 in the Second Regiment of the Mecklenburg County Detached Militia in 1814, under Major General Montford Stokes.5 Marriage, Children, and Community Sharon Presbyterian Church, Mecklenburg County NC: Telemacus married Hannah Smith around 1819, when he was 24 years old. The 1820 census shows Tellemarcus (sic) Alexander living in Mecklenburg County in a household of four persons, one of whom, presumably him, as head of household, is listed as "engaged in agriculture." One free white female between 16 and 26 years of age, presumably his wife Hannah, is listed, which would place her birth date between 1794 and 1804. One female under 10 is listed, who could be their daughter, Jane, who was born in the census year. One male slave between 14 and 26 years old is listed in the household in 1820, as well.6 In the tax lists for 1823 and 1824, white men between the ages of 21 and 50 are listed by the militia company to which they belong. Telemacus is listed under Captain Stephen Manson, with 44 acres of land, and in 1824, one black person between the ages of 12 and 50.7 The ages, genders, and number of Telemacus and Hannah's children in 1830 correspond exactly to those of "Marcus Alexander" listed in the 1830 census, below Silas, Hezekiah, and William, Telemacus's brothers who lived near him. Marcus S. Alexander appears higher up the page. If this is another misspelling of Telemacus's name, it indicates that the family still resided in the Sharon community, consistent with church records, and that they no longer owned slaves.8 Telemacus served jury duty on a regular basis between 1826 and 1840.9 Court was held for one week beginning on the fourth Monday in February, May, August, and November. Wills and deeds were executed then, as well as criminal and civil trials.10 The court records show that in 1830, Telemacus and Hannah sold land to William Sample.11 In 1837, Telemacus and Isaac Campbell sold 60 acres to Elam Harrison, and in 1838, Telemacus and his wife sold land to Richard Tradinick.12 In addition, in 1830, Alexander Wallace and his wife Prudence sold 44 1/2 acres on McAlpine Creek, which were described as adjacent to James Willson (sic) and Hannah (Smith) Alexander.13 Earlier, in 1825, a Margaret Smith sold 25 acres on the north side of McAlpine Creek to James Wilson. The deed was witnessed by Telemacus Alexander and Keziah Alexander.14 Telemacus had a sister named Keziah. (His Aunt Keziah died circa 1821.)15 The 1840 census lists Telemacus Alexander with a household of 12 persons. One person is still counted as employed in agriculture, and no slaves are listed.16 Telemacus is listed as a farmer in census records.17 Hannah bore a child about every two years beginning in 1820.18 The whole family were members of Sharon Presbyterian Church, where Telemacus was ordained as a ruling elder in August of 1839.19 Their farm was apparently located near the church, and the family's names appear repeatedly in the churches' records.20 They raised sheep and there was a loom in their household, which most likely was used by Hannah to produce cloth for clothing and household furnishings. Telemacus owned blacksmith tools, which he may have used to earn income as well as to repair tools and wagons on the farm. In 1842 they had planks, bricks, and shingles which may have been intended for a house for the family. They were in their forties, had eleven children, a substantial number of loans and outstanding debts, and a cotton crop in the field,21 when Telemacus suddenly died. Obituary from The Charlotte Journal An obituary in the Charlotte Journal states pathetically that Telemacus left "a wife and eleven children, most of them small, to mourn a loss to them irreparable." 22 The youngest of the ten known children, Mary, was five years old, and the eleventh child must have been an infant. Estate records show that he died leaving a number of debts that had to be settled. Most of the livestock and all the tools were sold, along with the household furniture, the loom, and the building materials. As a widow's allowance for one year's support, Hannah was allowed to keep one cow; one heifer; five head of sheep; five shoats (young hogs or pigs); 200 bushels of corn; fodder, shucks, and straw; five head of hogs; 10 pounds of wool; and one lot of leather. Telemacus's brother Silas settled the estate.23 Less than two years later, in April of 1844, C. T. Alexander was appointed temporary guardian of seven of the children, and one year later, Silas was appointed guardian of "the infant heirs of Telemachus Alexander, indicating that Hannah was incapacitated.24 Hannah's burden of misfortune during this period may have included the death of a child. The 1840 census lists ten children, while her husband's obituary mentions eleven. Sharon Church records show the death of Hannah Alexander occuring only four years after her husband, on December 5, 1846.25 In the 1850 Census, under Providence District of Mecklenburg County, nine of the children are listed as living together on a farm without their parents. The Providence district included the area around Sharon Presbyterian Church, which at that time was outside the town of Charlotte. James Wallace, who was 26 years old, the twins, who were 24, and William, who was 22, were listed as farmers by occupation, on a farm which they owned, with a value of $500.26 The oldest daughter, Jane, was about thirty years old and was married and living with her husband.27 What caused Telemacus and Hannah's early, and apparently sudden deaths, as well as the death of their child? During the nineteenth century, disease could take several members of a family or a community at once. Scarlet fever, smallpox, yellow fever, cholera, tuberculosis, and other infectious illnesses had to be suffered without the benefit of antibiotics. William R. Navey's abstract, Death Notices from the Charlotte Journal, Charlotte, N. C., July 3, 1835-December 7, 1851, lists deaths in the Charlotte area that were reported in one area newspaper, a weekly. In September and October of 1842, thirty-four obituaries for the Charlotte area were printed, compared with ten in July and August, and with five in November and December.28 At that time another newspaper, The Mecklenburg Jeffersonian, reported "Never within the recollection of our oldest citizens has our village and county been so sickly as during the past two months...near one half of our whole population have been sick."29 By the time of Hannah's death in December of 1846, the health of Mecklenburg County's citizens was even worse, and people were speaking of "the Great Epidemic of 1846 and 1847." Shortly before her death, the Fayetteville Observer stated that thousands of people, especially in the middle counties of North Carolina had suffered from fevers, the worst situation in twenty years.30 Telemacus and Hannah's burial place is likely to be Sharon Presbyterian Church, where Telemacus's parents, his brother Hezekiah Calvin Alexander, sister Keziah Kirkpatrick, son Oswald and wife, son James Wallace's wife, and many grandchildren and other relatives and neighbors are buried.31 The old section of the cemetery contains a number of graves with no carved stone. They can be identified as graves by fieldstones that were imbedded in the ground to mark the head and foot of the grave. This was the custom of the time when there was no money to pay a stonecarver. 1850 United States Federal Census HH #1304: Name: Wallace Alexander (Telemacus & Hannah Alexander's children) Age: 25 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1825 Birth Place: North Carolina Gender: Male Home in 1850: Providence, Mecklenburg, North Carolina Family Number: 1304 Household Members: Name Age Wallace Alexander 25 (James Wallace) John Alexander 22 (John S.)

Prudence Alexander 19 Mary Alexander 12 (Mary S.) (Jane Rankin is married and living elsewhere) Civil War Prisoner of War Records, 1861-1865 Name: Telemacus C Alexander Side: Confederate Roll: M598_114 Roll Title: Selected Records of the War Department Relating to Confederate Prisoners of War, 1861-1865 Telemacus (Telemachus, Telemarcus) Alexander was born September 1, 1795, the second child of Silas and Mary Alexander of McAlpine Creek in Mecklenburg County. He had six brothers and two sisters. His grandparents were Hezekiah and Mary Sample Alexander, remembered for their construction of a lasting stone house and for Hezekiah's political activities during the American Revolution. Telemacus was undoubtedly educated as other boys from Mecklenburg families of "Scotch-Irish" origin were in the days when the United States was a new country. His teacher would have been Reverend James Wallis, minister of Providence Presbyterian Church and principal of Providence Academy, which was described as a "classical school." Latin and Greek language and literature were an essential part of a proper education in early America. Silas named his second child for a character in an ancient Greek story called The Odyssey, by Homer. He was the son of King Odysseus, and he helped his father defeat his rivals. As a young man, Telemacus served in the War of 1812 in the Second Regiment of the Mecklenburg County Detached Militia in 1814, under Major General Montford Stokes. Telemacus married Hannah Smith around 1819, when he was 24 years old. The 1820 census shows Tellemarcus (sic) Alexander living in Mecklenburg County in a household of four persons, one of whom, presumably him, as head of household, is listed as "engaged in agriculture." One free white female between 16 and 26 years of age, presumably his wife Hannah, is listed, which would place her birth date between 1794 and 1804. One female under 10 is listed, who could be their daughter, Jane, who was born in the census year. One male slave between 14 and 26 years old is listed in the household in 1820, as well. In the tax lists for 1823 and 1824, white men between the ages of 21 and 50 are listed by the militia company to which they belong. Telemacus is listed under Captain Stephen Manson, with 44 acres of land, and in 1824, one black person between the ages of 12 and 50.7 The ages, genders, and number of Telemacus and Hannah's children in 1830 correspond exactly to those of "Marcus Alexander" listed in the 1830 census, below Silas, Hezekiah, and William, Telemacus's brothers who lived near him. Marcus S. Alexander appears higher up the page. If this is another misspelling of Telemacus's name, it indicates that the family still resided in the Sharon community, consistent with church records, and that they no longer owned slaves. Telemacus served jury duty on a regular basis between 1826 and 1840. Court was held for one week beginning on the fourth Monday in February, May, August, and November. Wills and deeds were executed then, as well as criminal and civil trials. The court records show that in 1830, Telemacus and Hannah sold land to William Sample. In 1837, Telemacus and Isaac Campbell sold 60 acres to Elam Harrison, and in 1838, Telemacus and his wife sold land to Richard Tradinick. In addition, in 1830, Alexander Wallace and his wife Prudence sold 44 1/2 acres on McAlpine Creek, which were described as adjacent to James Willson (sic) and Hannah (Smith) Alexander. Earlier, in 1825, a Margaret Smith sold 25 acres on the north side of McAlpine Creek to James Wilson. The deed was witnessed by Telemacus Alexander and Keziah Alexander. Telemacus had a sister named Keziah. (His Aunt Keziah died circa 1821.) The 1840 census lists Telemacus Alexander with a household of 12 persons. One person is still counted as employed in agriculture, and no slaves are listed. Telemacus is listed as a farmer in census records. Hannah bore a child about every two years beginning in 1820. The whole family were members of Sharon Presbyterian Church, where Telemacus was ordained as a ruling elder in August of 1839. Their farm was apparently located near the church, and the family's names appear repeatedly in the churches' records. They raised sheep and there was a loom in their household, which most likely was used by Hannah to produce cloth for clothing and household furnishings. Telemacus owned blacksmith tools, which he may have used to earn income as well as to repair tools and wagons on the farm. In 1842 they had planks, bricks, and shingles which may have been intended for a house for the family. They were in their forties, had eleven children, a substantial number of loans and outstanding debts, and a cotton crop in the field, when Telemacus suddenly died. An obituary in the Charlotte Journal states pathetically that Telemacus left "a wife and eleven children, most of them small, to mourn a loss to them irreparable." The youngest of the ten known children, Mary, was five years old, and the eleventh child must have been an infant. Estate records show that he died leaving a number of debts that had to be settled. Most of the livestock and all the tools were sold, along with the household furniture, the loom, and the building materials. As a widow's allowance for one year's support, Hannah was allowed to keep one cow; one heifer; five head of sheep; five shoats (young hogs or pigs); 200 bushels of corn; fodder, shucks, and straw; five head of hogs; 10 pounds of wool; and one lot of leather. Telemacus's brother Silas settled the estate. Less than two years later, in April of 1844, C. T. Alexander was appointed temporary guardian of seven of the children, and one year later, Silas was appointed guardian of "the infant heirs" of Telemachus Alexander, indicating that Hannah was incapacitated. Hannah's burden of misfortune during this period may have included the death of a child. The 1840 census lists ten children, while her husband's obituary mentions eleven. Sharon Church records show the death of Hannah Alexander occuring only four years after her husband, on December 5, 1846. In the 1850 Census, under Providence District of Mecklenburg County, nine of the children are listed as living together on a farm without their parents.

James Wallace, who was 26 years old, the twins, who were 24, and William, who was 22, were listed as farmers by occupation, on a farm which they owned, with a value of $500.26 The oldest daughter, Jane, was about thirty years old and was married and living with her husband. What caused Telemacus and Hannah's early, and apparently sudden deaths, as well as the death of their child?

Scarlet fever, smallpox, yellow fever, cholera, tuberculosis, and other infectious illnesses had to be suffered without the benefit of antibiotics. William R.
