454	The ancestry of William Polk who m. Margaret Taylor has been proven by my research and by DNA testing of proven descendants of this William Polk, along with results of testing of Robert Polk (who m. Magdalen (Tasker) Porter, and whose son William Polk, who m. Ann-Nancy (Knox) Owens, said William shown as the father of William Polk, who m. Margaret Taylor in about everything ever written on the Polks)to be incorrect. ... the William Polk who m. Margaret Taylor has no known ancestry at this time. His ancestry is a major quest of mine and a few others, but we simply do not know who this William Polk's parents were. Also, Charles Polke, the Indian Trader, long thought to be a son of the above mentioned William Polk/Ann-Nancy (Knox) Owens, is not a son of that couple, nor is he a brother of William Polk who m. Margaret Taylor. His line is a third and distinct family, separate from Robert Polk/Magdalen (Tasker) Porter, and separate and William Polk who m. Margaret Taylor. Three separate and distinct major Polk progenitors - Proven by DNA. (Source: Bill Polk ... bapokc@gmail.com http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/p/o/l/Billy-F-Polk/ ) Polk researchers are aware that the Thomas Polk who blazed the family path to Carolina was the third son of William & Margaret Taylor Polk, based on information given in the autobiography of a son of Thomas Polk (Col. William Polk, included among “The Papers of Archibald D. Murphey, Vol. II”, edited by William Henry Hoyt). Quoting therefrom: “William Polk is a descendant of a family who emigrated from Ireland about the year 1722 and settled on the Eastern Shore of Maryland; where they resided until about the year 1740 when they removed into the State of Pennsylvania and in the neighborhood of Carlisle. Thomas, the 3rd son of William & Margaret, a young man of great athletickness, of much energy of both mind and body; could not bear the dull persuit of a Pennsylvania farmer, especially in a section where nothing was presented which promised to better his situation; left his parents about the year 1753 to seek his fortune in a country that furnished greater scope to his active mind. In company with several young men, he traversed the country bordering on the East of the Blue ridge crossing the Dan and Yadkin untill he fell in upon Sugau or Sugar creek a branch of the Catawba River; in the neighbourhood of which there were a few settlements. Here he made a permanent location of himself. In 1775 [sic – 1755?] he married Susannah Spratt the daughter of a respectable farmer, who had emigrated from Pennsylvania about the same time, by whom he had nine children.” [emphasis added, spelling per original] List of Children of William Polk II and Margaret Taylor: Mrs. Frank M.

Polk Memorial Association, Columbia, TN., 1984, by Southern Historical Press, Easley, SC.) pg 4 According to a letter from Mrs. Susan (Barnett) Smart dated 15 Feb. 1849 to Bishop Leonidas Polk. Susan Smart was a Polk descendant. William Polk who was married to Margaret Taylor died at least twenty-five years before the Revolutionary War. He married Margaret at the North, in Pennsylvania, and moved to North Carolina to settle west of the Yadkin, where he died.

No sources provided for above information in General Report Polk. Marriage Notes for William Polk and Margaret Taylor: The circa date of 1725 for the marriage of William Polk and Margaret Taylor is based on the approximate birth of their oldest child, William Polk III. Many published PA. church records as well as the published Pennsylvania Archives have been searched and as of early 1997, no marriage record has been located. Even some Maryland records have been searched, to no avail. (Source: Billy Polk)	Polk, William J. I (I9368)
455	The Central Glamorgan Gazette – Friday, May 9, 1879 - SUICIDE AT LLANBLETHIAN On Sunday, an aged man named Thomas Mordecai, living at Llanblethian, was discovered by his daughter hanging by the neck from a beam in the stable adjoining the house. The unfortunate man had been in a low state for some time and took advantage of his wife’s absence at church to destroy himself. On Tuesday an inquest was held before Mr Reece, coroner. Mary Mordecai, of Llanblethian, daughter of the deceased, deposed: Thomas Mordecai was my father; he was a labourer, 71 years of age. He had not been well for the last eight months; he had appeared very low; he had not threatened to kill himself lately; but some years ago he used to threaten to do so, and my mother used to watch him. I last saw him alive at ten minutes to twelve o’clock on Sunday last in the daytime. He was then in the house and seemed more cheerful that morning than usual. I asked him to go as far as the pig stye to see if the pig had victuals, he went out and came back afterwards and walked in the yard at the back of the house. About ten minutes afterwards I went to the stable to get some coals, and I saw him hanging to a beam behind the stable door by a piece of rope. I ran at once to a neighbour, Mr Gifford at once came and cut him down. Jeremiah Jennings, sergeant of police, said on Sunday last I passed the house of the deceased at about ten minutes to twelve o’clock; about a quarter of an hour afterwards I was called back by a neighbour of the deceased’s and I went back and into the stable with Nathaniel Gifford and there I saw the deceased hanging to a beam by a thick piece of rope which was put round the beam in the stable, he had reached the beam by getting on a ladder which was close by. I cut him down at once, he was quite dead.

456	THE DESCENDANTS OF JOHN ALEXANDER Source: http://www.fold3.com/profile/cooldago/ 23 Feb 2008 — Los Angeles, CA John Alexander, earliest known ancestor of the Alexander's who migrated to Somerset County, Maryland. He was born about 1587 in County Ayrshire, Scotland, and died after 1665 in Eredy also known as Raphoe, County Donegal, Ireland. The names of his parents are not known. Between the years 1580 and 1609, the surname Alexander does not appear in any surveys taken of the owners of land or baronies in the province of Ulster. What is recorded is the land in County Donegal, it was purchased by Sir James Cunningham from County Ayrshire, Scotland, who rented out this newly acquired property to several Scottish settlers. One of these early settlers was John Alexander who migrated from County Ayrshire, Scotland to County Donegal, Ireland as a tenant farmer. 19 Jul 1610: Commissioners granted letters-patent to Sir James Cuninghame of Glengarnock, County Ayrshire, Scotland. Conferring on him and his heirs two thousand acres in the precincts of Portlagh, Barony of Raphoe and County of Donegal. The parcels of land were designated Moragh, Dryan, Magherybegg, Magherymore, Tyran, Carickmore, Grachley and two portions of land called Eredy. 26 Feb 1613: Robert Alexander of Stirling, a scion of the House of Menstry, was granted a loan of 200 merks to James Cuninghame, to whom Sir Cuninghame was elated, alike by internship and marriage. To enable him to complete the purchase of his lands in Donegal. Sir William Alexander granted to Sir James Cunningham a loan of 400 pounds sterling, for which, on February 26, 1613-14, he obtained a mortgage on the lands. 01 May 1613: Sir James Cuninghame granted legal tenures on his land in Donegal to thirty-nine persons who had made settlements thereon. That portion called Eredy was divided among nine settlers, one of whom was John Alexander. The name Eredy according to Rogers resembles Eradall, one of the merk lands in south Kintyre, granted by James III in 1484 to a Tarlack MacAlexander of Tarbert. (Rogers assume the Alexander's living in Eredy, Ireland were connect to Clan MacAlister's, but further research proves this assumption to be incorrect. However, Alexander's "Lord Stirling" was related to the MacAlister's as well as to Sir James Cunningham by marriage). 24 Jun 1618: Sir James Cunningham's creditors continued importunate, Sir William Alexander (Stirling) proceeded to foreclose on the mortgage and take sasine of the lands. However, this proceeding was only intended for his friend's protection. 1623: Sir James Cunningham died leaving a widow. This lady, a daughter of James, seventh Earl of Glencairn, was pursued by her husband's creditors, from whom she was successfully defended, through the efforts of Sir William Alexander. 1629: Sir John Cunningham, son of the original patentee, obtained the superiority of his father's lands and had them erected into a manor with power to create tentures. There-upon the original settlers, including John Alexander of Eredy received new titles to their lands, and taking the oath of supremacy obtained denization. 1659: John Alexander recorded in the first census of Ireland. He probably arrived at a much earlier date, with his landlord, James Cunningham, Esquire, from Ayrshire, Scotland and settled in the Barony of Raphoe, County Donegal, Ireland. 1662: John Alexander is in the parish of Taghboyne, assessed for 4 pounds, 18 shillings. 1663: John Alexander styled himself as "John Alexander of ye Dukes Land." (John Alexander of Eredy occupied several holdings. In the Hearth Tax Roll he is styled, "John Alexander of ye Dukes land." Dukes=Duke of Lennon. He appears to have had several sons, I.e., Archibald, Robert, John Jr., William and Andrew. Burke's Irish Records & Memorials, Vol. II, Pages 63-64). 1665: John Alexander living with his son William Alexander were living in the Parish of Raphoe, County Donegal, Ireland. John Alexander and his wife, whose name is not set out in record, fathered at least five sons, all born in County Donegal, Ireland. They are recorded in the above note. The family to which this history is continued is through a younger son of John Alexander named William Alexander. William was born about 1614 in Eredy, County Donegal, Ireland, and died about 1668 in Raphoe, County Donegal, Ireland. About the time our ALexander's arrived on the Eastern Shores of Maryland and Virginia, there was already established several other Alexander's living in America. The first Alexander of record was Captain John Alexander of "Gartmore," Scotland. He came to Virginia and granted land in Westemoreland County, where he built his come "Caledon." John Alexander died 1677. The first wife of John Alexander was a Miss Graeme, who probably came to Virginia with him. His second wife, Mrs. Tabitha Smart, daughter of Edmund and Mary (Littleton) Scarborough of Accomack County, Virginia. The second unrelated Alexander purchased 6,000 acres of land opposite the present city of Washington, D.C. In 1670, John Alexander built his home "Abingdon," which is located just north of the city of Alexandria, reputedly named for an earlier Alexander. William Alexander whom this history is regarding, was born about 1614 to John Alexander living in Eredy, County Donegal, Ireland. He died in 1668 at Raphoe, County Donegal, Ireland. 1662: William Alexander was recorded int he Hearth Tax Roll in the Parish of Clonleigh, County Donegal, Ireland. 1665: William Alexander was last recorded in the Hearth Tax Roll in the Parish of Raphoe, County Donegal, Ireland. Dr. Alvah M. Stafford in his unpublished work "Alexander Notebooks," on the Alexander's describes the family as follows: "The Alexander pioneers who settled in Somerset County, Maryland were: Andrew, Francis, James, John, Samuel and William. It is reasonably certain that they all came from Ulster, in the North of Ireland and were of pure Scottish blood. It must be concluded that several of the Alexander's recorded here, were brothers, if not, they were undoubtedly a cousinal relationship between them. Probably some of these Alexander's were of County Donegal--possibly from the Parish of Raphoe. Their lineage has not been firmly established. Later in his statement, Dr. Stafford mentioned there were others of the name who may also be considered as of the first generation. These were among the original grantees of land in New Munster, Cecil County, Maryland in 1714 and 1718. The others named were: Joseph Alexander, "Tanner;" Arthur Alexander, "Farmer;" and David Alexander, "Weaver. William Alexander (John1) and his wife, whose surname name is not known, had the following children, all born in Eredy, County Donegal, Ireland. 1. William Alexander, born about 1646, and died between 1707-1715, in Somerset County, Maryland. He married Ann Liston, daughter of Rev. William and Victoria Liston, about 1673, probably at Raphoe, Ireland. (NOTE: numerous researchers mistakenly claim Ann Liston is the same Araminta Liston who married five times including William Alexander of Raphoe, Ireland. However, Araminta was not a Liston, but a Veazey, born about 1705 and who died 1765. Araminta married firstly, Ephraim Augustus Herman; secondly, John Young; thirdly William Alexander, who was born about 1700 and who died about 1736. This is the marriage that confuses so many researchers, but he was born several years after William Alexander Jr of Somerset County, Maryland and he died without an heir, leaving a will, he left the majority of his estate to his wife and provisions to a cousin and a sister still living in Stirling, Scotland. After his death Araminta married fourthly, John MacKey and fifthly, George Catto). William and Ann (Liston) Alexander had Issue: A.

B. John McKnitt, III, was born 8 Sep 1687, and died before 13 Jun 1733 in Cecil County, Maryland. Current DNA research has been conducted on these and several other descendants of early American Alexander's. The above Alexanders are closely related, but several other Alexander descendants who originally claim descent from the 9 siblings living in Maryland and North Carolina, found their DNA blood type different from the above Alexander's. Especially true of the Alexander's who migrated to South Carolina from North Carolina. Known descendants of the above Alexander's include Elizabeth "Bess" Wallace, wife of President Harry S. Truman; Gov. Adlai Stevenson of Illinois. Lamar Alexander, former Governor of Tennessee, Secretary of Education under President George Herbert Walker Bush, and currently US Senator from Tennessee. During the 1992 primary election, Lamar ran against Senator Robert Dole of Kansas. Senator Dole's wife Elizabeth is also a descendant of the above Alexander's. Other's include, Aviator/Billionaire Howard Hughes, who is also alleged to be a descendant. In Maryland there seems to have been a colony of Scots about 1670 under Colonel Ninian Beall, settled between the Potomac and the Patuxent, and gradually increased by successive additions. Through his influence a church was established at Patuxent in 1704, the members of which included several prominent Fifeshire families. Many other small Scottish colonies were settled on the eastern shore of Maryland and Virginia, particularly in Accomac, Dorchester, Somerset, Wicomico, and Worcester counties. To minister to them the Rev. Francis Makemie and the Rev. William Traill were sent out by the Presbytery of Laggan in Ulster. Upper Marlborough, Maryland, was founded by a company of Scottish immigrants and were ministered to by the Rev. Nathaniel Taylor, also from Scotland. I have noticed several sources recently reporting that Mary Steele was wife of James "the Weaver" Alexander. However in research reported in "Alexander Kin" by Virginia Alexander there is a will dated July 12, 1717 filed in New Castle Co. Del., Book C Vol I, P. 103 by James Alexander that names wife Mary, father-in -law John Steele, yeoman of New Castle Co. Del., brother Francis Alexander "Weaver" of Cecil Co., Md. and sons John, Joseph and Francis. This appears to be the James "the farmer" Alexander married to Mary Steele and he was a son of Samuel Alexander the brother of James "the Weaver". In deed book 5 p.97, Cecil Co., Md. dated April 1, 1735 records James Alexander and son Moses, and Mary wife to ye said Moses selling a part of their land to William Sample. On page 235 of same book James Alexander releases to his son Moses the remainder of the tract purchased by them from Thomas Stevenson. Thus it appears James"the weaver" father of Moses Alexander was still alive and well past the date of 1717 when James the husband of Mary Steele died. I haven't checked these documents myself but this all sounds reasonable. History records the name of Hezekiah Alexander as an administrator and councilor. He held the post as Magistrate from the first appointed one in the county and historians have said "He was one of the most clear headed Magistrates in the County before the Revolutionary War and following the Declaration of Independence was named one of the members of the State Councul [sic] of Safety. His most important contribution to Mecklenburg County was his participation in the Declaration Convention and his signing of that immortal document, The Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence. During the Revolutionary War, he was paymaster of Col. Thomas Polk's regiment. Hezekiah Alexander's first purchased [sic] of land was recorded in May of 1765. He later purchased land in April of 1767 from Lord Selwyn on Alexander's Creek. He purchased 400 acres on the Broad River, now Gaston County from William Minter. His home was two stories high and built of stone with a full basement where Mary Alexander stored food for her family of eleven children. The story is told how English soldiers raided her basement one day and what food they could not carry they destroyed. It was necessary at times for her to hide her sons in the weeds to prevent them from being kidnapped and held as hostages by the British Soldiers. My line came from James Alexander born 1624 in Bughall, Scotland who moved his family to Northern Ireland and died there in 1704. Some time in the late 1600's, James sent his 7 sons and 2 daughters to the New World. They settled in Cecil county Maryland. A G-Great grandson, Hezekiah, moved to the Cumberland valley in western Pennsylvania around 1750 only to be ran out by Indians in the French and Indian war. He moved to Mecklenburg county North Carolina where, in 1774, he built his house on the grounds which is now the Charlotte Historical Museum.

Colonel Amos was a FULL brother of Hezekiah and John McKnitt Alexander who signed the Mecklenburg Declaration. Amos did not move to NC with others of this family, staying in MD. he is buried at Head of Christiana Presbyterian Church Cemetery in what is now New Castle Co. DE, beside his oldest brother Theophilus, my 5x great-grandfather. There's lots of information about this family is you'd care to correspond. Cordially, David P.S. There were 15 siblings altogether, 10 children of James the yeoman Alexander by his first wife, Margaret McKnitt, and 5 more by second wife Abigail MNU. According to some family history passed down to me, sources quoted where known, here is what I have on the Alexanders: The Clan McAllister was a collateral branch of the Clan Donald, and it is of this branch of the clan – the Allister of Tarbert – that the "Alexanders" were a part. One of the most outstanding Alexanders was Sir William Alexander, Earl of Stirling. He was a favorite at the Court of King James…monarch wrote together a metrical version of the Psalms. Sir William Alexander was a poet of note in his day, and three volumes of his work are preserved in the British Museum, as worthy examples of the poetry of his time. He was granted large tracts of land in America, chiefly Newfoundland and Canada. He was Secretary of State of Scotland and held may other offices. He was very ambitious, politically, thereby incurring heavy expenses, and at his death was greatly involved in debt. Some of his kinsmen settled on the encheated lands in Ireland, many of them later emigrating to America. One branch of these Alexanders settled in New Jersey, and from that branch descended William Alexander, "Lord Sterling," who was one of Washington’s generals. Another branch settled in Pennsylvania, Archibald Alexander, and they were the Princeton Alexanders. Foote’s HISTORY OF NORTH CAROLINA tells of the emigration of seven Alexander brothers and their widowed mother from Ireland to the eastern shore of Maryland. Unable to endure the persecution preceding the revolution of 1688, they decided to come to America where they could worship in peace. Before leaving Ireland, they sent back to Scotland for their minister to come and bless the voyage and administer the Lord’s Supper. Everything was ready, and all the families were on board the vessel partaking of the Lord’s Supper, when a company of English soldiers boarded the ship, broke up the meeting and took the minister to jail. All were distressed over the plight of the preacher, and none knew just what steps to take. Finally, an aged woman who had been piously covenanting all day for her grandchildren, suggested that they wait until nightfall, then raid the jail, rescue the preacher, and take him to America with them. Her plan was acted upon and before dawn, the ship was at sea with the minister on board. Having no family, he cheerfully proceeded to America with the colony. These seven brothers joined a settlement of Scots in Somerset County, Maryland, later removing into Cecil County, Maryland, at the head of the Chesapeake, "on the main fresh of the Elk River," across from New Castle in Delaware. This was the scene of George Talbot’s ambitious project of founding his "County of New Ireland," Talbot was the alert Irish cousin of Cecil Calvert, the third Lord Baltimore. He had come into the Maryland Colony in 1680 from County Roscomon in Ireland, with Baltimore. Lord Baltimore was soon to learn, if he did not already know, that the English Stewarts wwere about to pay a debt to Willimam Penn with the same land which their father, Charles I, had granted Baltimore. Consequently, this land at the head of Chesapeake Bay was in dispute for many years, being claimed by both Maryland and Pennsylvania. The certificate for the settlement of the "New Munster" tract in the New Ireland Colony was issued by George Talbot in 1863 in these words: "Surveyed for Edwin O’Dwire and fifteen other Irishmen by virtue of warrant from his Lordship, August 7, 1683…a certain tract of land called New Munster lying and being in the County of Cecil…on the main fresh of the Big Elk…containing 6,000 acres more or less…." The Cecil County, Maryland, records (Deed Book 2, J.D., 2 pg 28, 81, 82, 83) show deeds from Thomas Stevenson and his wife, Sarah, of part of this tract called "New Munster" to a group of Alexanders who were led into the colony by Matthew Wallace. This deed stated that the land had originally been granted to Edwin O’Dwire and others. Those purchasing from Stevenson were: Matthew Wallace James Alexander, farmer Arthus Alexander, weaver David Alexander, weaver Joseph Alexander, tanner, and his son, James James Alexander, weaver, and his son Moses This deed speaks of Matthew Wallace and "his company," indicating that Matthew Wallace, whom we know from the records to have been living in Somerset County, Maryland, on the eastern shore of Maryland, led this company (probably relatives) into Cecil County to settle on this New Munster tract. The first deed was a –ase [possibly lease?] deed dated 1714, and set forth that the settlers had been on this land for some years, as the improvements which they had made were taken into consideration of the price. As Matthew Wallace gave Power of Attorney to his kinsman, William Alexander, back in Soemrset in 1707 to sell his land there, this migration must have taken place very much earlier. These Alexanders who came with him were probably some of the seven brothers mentioned by Foote, or their sons, Ross McKendrick states: "To Mecklenburg county, N.C., a great wave of Scotch-Irish migration flowed directly from New Munster in Cecil County, Maryland, through the Shenandoah Valley. Numerous descendants of George Talbot’s tract had brought their families and taken up lands (in North Carolina) prior to 1732. Wills of certain Alexanders of New Munster, indicate that this family was strongly represented in the North Carolina settlement. The importance of Maryland’s part in the settlement of N. C. may be drawn from the story of the famous Mecklenburg Convention of May 31, 1775 ----of the seven signers, more than half may be directly traced to Cecil County, Maryland, and adjacent settlements. This action (The Mecklenburg Resolves) anticipated more than a year before the actual Declaration of Independence by Congress, and reflected the spirit which emigrated from George Talbot’s County of New Ireland. The Maryland immigrants to North Carolina only made great asserveration of purpose, but were to be found in the thick of the flight at King’s Mountain…." In this compilation, we are concerned only with "James Alexander" and his son, "Moses Alexander," both of whom were weavers and farmers. JAMES ALEXANDER James Alexander was probably from Ulster, North of Ireland. The date of his birth is not known. It is reasonable to assume that he was the same James who "transported" to Somerset County on the eastern shore of Maryland in 1678 (Index of Early Settlers, Vol. I, Land Office, Hall of Records, Annapolis, Maryland). This James Alexander, of Cecil County, was probably a brother or near relative of William Alexander, Sr., Andrew and Samuel, of Somerset County, as well as a brother of Joseph Alexander of Cecil County, who was a tanner. Assuming that James Alexander was the one who "transported" in 1678 to Somerset County, he was doubtless one of the Alexander group who removed to the "Head of ye Bay" and for whom George Talbot, Surveyor General, surveyed the New Munster lands in 1683. The fact that he had a son, Moses, old enough in 1714 to received title to land, proves that he was of middle age and could have been in Cecil County for many years. James Alexander and his son, Moses, both were weavers and farmers. The name of his wife does not appear in the records, nor any reference to her birth or death. In 1718, Thomas Stevenson confirmed each of the purchasers of his land in a separate deed. James Alexander and his son, Moses, had land located in the New Munster division known as Milford Hundred. There are no further records of James Alexander until 1735 when we find him selling this land: "DEEDS, CECIL COUNTY, MARYLAND, BOOK 5, p. 97, APRIL 8, 1735 This indenture the 8th day of April 1735, between James Alexander with Moses his son, and Mary, wife to ye said Moses, of the one part…and William Sample, of Chester County, Pennsylvania of the other part…. The said James Alexander, Moses Alexander, and wife Mary, do sell unto the said William Sample, a parcel of land being a part of the 92 acres purchased from Thomas Stevenson, of Bucks County, Pennsylvania…1718. Wit: Signed: James Alexander David Alexander Moses Alexander John McCallmont Mary Alexander Then came Captain James Alexander, Moses Alexander, and Mary, wife of the said Moses…. ------------------------ DEEDS, CECIL COUNTY, MARYLAND, BOOK 5, p. 235 1736 James Alexander, Gentleman, of Milford Hundred, releases to his son, Moses Alexander, the remainder of the tract of land jointly purchased by them from Thomas Stevenson. James Alexander disappears from the record about 1740, and it is supposed he died about that time, but no will or administration has ever been found for him. He probably married in Ireland, and his wife may have been dead when he came to America. Children of James Alexander As for children: We know he definitely had one son, Moses, and he seems to have had a son, James, Jr. David Alexander, weaver, bought land adjoining his, but whether this David was his older son, or whether he was a brother, is not known. MOSES ALEXANDER Moses Alexander, son or James Alexander, was born probably about 1690-1693. His wife was Mary. She seems to have been Mary Wallace, the daughter of Jane Wallace, a widow with two daughters, who died in 1736. In her will, Jane Wallace mentions two daughters: Mary Alexander and Hannah, who married George Welsh. Mary Alexander is buried in the churchyard of the Head of the Christian Church. The tombstone inscription reads: "here lies the Body of Mary Alexander, wife of Moses Alexander Dyed ye 25th, of October, 1758 Aged 58 years" It is possible that this Mary may have been his second wife. In his will, Moses Alexander singles out a granddaughter named Hannah for a special bequest, not naming any of his other grandchildren. She may have been named for his first wife. Mary also seems to have been quite a few years younger than her husband. Moses Alexander died in Cecil County, Maryland, 1762. His will, dated 2 February 1762, was filed December 1762 (Source: Hall of Records, Annapolis, Maryland, Book 31, p. 820). No wife is named, as she preceded him.

One of their sons, Nathaniel Alexander, born 1756. graduated from Princeton in 1776, studied medicine and was a surgeon in the Continental Line from 1778 to 1782. After the Revolution Nathaniel practiced medicine in South Carolina, but returned to N.C. He filled many political offices, was elected Governor of N. C. in 1805, resigned in 1807. He died in 1808, and is buried at Charlotte, N.C. No children. Moses was one of the most outstanding men of his community. He was a colonel in the British Army before 1776. He was High Sheriff in 1763, and filled many offices of trust and distinction.

It says that he left a will dated 13 Mar 1702 (Probate Court record) naming his wife Marian Shaw as executrix and sole "legatee". She left a will dated 1711 with a bequest to a niece, Elizabeth Shaw. The book states he died without issue. Your/our Samuel Alexander could have been a contemporary of his, judging from the dates, but not his son. Historical Society of Cecil County: "The "infamous nine" came over with their father, William. William's father, John(Sir William Alexander's son), migrated to Virginia with some of his children in 1659. They apparently decided that Maryland was a better place and migrated there from Virginia about the same time that William and the nine arrived in 1670. Thus, a father was reunited with a son, siblings were reunited, and some of the younger nieces and nephews met their aunts and uncles for the first time.

John McNitt Alexander, a signer of the "Mecklenburg Declaration", and Secretary to the meeting, was born in 1733, in N.W. Cecil County, Md., where his father James Alexander, settled on a tract of land called "New Munster", in the year 1714. James Alexander shortly thereafter, married a sister of John McNitt, an early emigrant to Cecil County. John McNitt Alexander migrated to Mecklenburg County, North Carolina in 1754, when he was about 21 years old, after he had served his apprenticeship to a tailor He was accompanied on this move by his brother Hezekiah, (who was also a signer) his sister Jemimah and her husband Major Thomas Sharpe, also of Cecil County, Md.

457	The first descendants of the MacNaughts of Galloway known to use the name "McNitt" are found in the tax records of Ulster Province in the mid-1600s, a time when many families with names derived from MacNaught emigrated to the northern tip of the Emerald Isle. Early in the century they came to lease fertile farm land at favorable rates. In the later part of the 1600s they arrived as refugees, driven from their homes in Galloway by religious persecution. Whenever possible, they settled together in communities centered around a Presbyterian church. For some reason, perhaps it was the familiar and fertile terrain, descendants of Clan MacNaught had an affinity for Donegal County in an area called the Laggan, or lowlands. Between 1710 - 1720, John McKnitt of Ulster Province settled on a 1, 000 acre tract called "the Strand" in Somerset County, Maryland. Two sons, Robert (b. 1685) and John (b. 1687) were born there. John later moved to Cecil County, Maryland and son John McKnitt II acquired the Strand. Other descendants included John McKnitt III and John McKnitt IV who, according to Cecil County records, amended his name to John McKnight. In "The MacNauchtan Saga," V.V. McNitt speculates that "members of the Maryland McKnitt family may have removed to the Carolinas and other places in the South, where the surname McKnight is often encountered." There is no evidence that any of these McKnitts/McKnights changed their name to McNitt in the Colonies -- although they did use a remarkable total of 18 surname variants. Still, the Ulster-Scot "McKnitts" and "McNitts" doubtless share a common ancestor, probably named McKnight or MacKnight, who lived in Galloway 500 or 600 years ago. The ancient Picts, whose lost language is at the root of the McNitt name, migrated from Continental Europe in the area of what is now Austria and the Czech Republic, at about the time Romulus is said to have founded Rome -- roughly 700 BC. The Picts were fierce warriors with a penchant for full-body tattoos -- so fierce that the Romans built Hadrian's Wall rather than conquer them. Pictish kingdoms dominated northern Caledonia (in what is now Scotland) until they were subsumed by another group of Celts, the invading Scots tribes of Ireland. Of the Picts, who had ruled Caledonia for perhaps a millennium, little more was heard following Kenneth MacAlpin's conquest of the Central Highlands in 846 AD. By 1000 AD a tribe, or "clann," descending from the Picts -- although now unmistakably Scottish in their speech, customs and religion -- was well established along the valley of the river Tay in the Central Highlands north of Edinburgh, living in rough stone cots, tending sheep and farming what fertile soil could be found. In Gaelic, "clann" means children -- and while the influence of church and state was often tenuous for Scots families living in remote Highland locations such as the Tay valley, the power of the elder chief over the life, death and loyalty of his Clan was absolute. This power, along with all livestock, estates and titles, passed from father to oldest son. Family feuds were among the ancient many Pict traditions absorbed by the Scots invaders. To ensure the peace, hostile Pictish tribes would often "pledge," or exchange, children whose lives would then depend upon their parents' restraint. Such children were generally chosen from among the most promising youth, and were called "nechtans" -- or literally, Little Pledges. At some point, one such youth became known by the name "Nechtan," which over the centuries evolved into Nauchtan -- just as MacNauchtan later became MacNaghten, MacNaughton, MacNaucht, McKnight and, eventually, McNitt. It was also the custom of Scots tribes to use the patronymic term "mac" to refer to a male child as the son of his father. Hence, among the Scots, John's son Robert was known as MacJohn. At the urging of the Scottish King, Malcom III Canmore, this custom was largely abandoned in the late 11th century in favor of the English tradition of fixed family surnames. It is likely that at about the time of the Norman Conquest in 1066, the oldest son of a tribal chief named Nauchtan whose Clan inhabited the valley of the river Tay in Scotland's Central Highlands was the first to use MacNauchtan as a surname in the modern sense. Around 1100 AD, when Scottish Clans first took permanent surnames, members of this tribe designated themselves as MacNauchtan, and were granted extensive land holdings in the Strathtay, eventually becoming recognized as the "Thanes of Lochtay," or barons of the Loch Tay region. Thus, Clan MacNauchtan is itself older than recorded Scots history. Several authoritative genealogical studies of early Scotland assert that the MacNauchtans descend from three Pictish Kings of Caledonia named Nechtan who ruled at various times between 458 and 730. It was the last of these Nechtans who during the early 700s converted to Christianity and made a decision that influences Scottish history to this very day. According to historian John Prebbles: "A stranger is said to have brought a parcel of bones to the house of Nechtan. Nobody doubted his claim that they were the true relics of the apostle Andrew, least of all Nechtan, King of the Picts, whose recent conversion to Christianity probably required an act of credulous faith. The stranger was allowed to build a shrine for the bones on the coast of Fife, and Scotland thus acquired its patron saint and the ultimate site for its first university.""A stranger is said to have brought a parcel of bones to the house of Nechtan. Nobody doubted his claim that they were the true relics of the apostle Andrew, least of all Nechtan, King of the Picts, whose recent conversion to Christianity probably required an act of credulous faith. The stranger was allowed to build a shrine for the bones on the coast of Fife, and Scotland thus acquired its patron saint and the ultimate site for its first university." While King Nechtan, and our relationship to him, may be more legend than fact, it is a fact that in 1164, King Malcolm IV gave the MacNauchtan Clan control of lands in the Highlands to the west of Strathtay, in return for aid in controlling the rebellious MacDougalls. This was the beginning of a movement of the clan chiefs from Strathtay that would eventually end in Argyll. In the early 1200s, the MacNauchtan assisted the Scottish King in driving Viking settlements from the western coast, and were rewarded with estates extending from the south shore of Loch Awe to the North shore of Loch Fyne on the Argyll peninsula -- a region of lush glens, fertile farmland and temperate climate. Here Alexander III King of the Scots, granted Gilcrist MacNauchtan extensive landholdings -- including, in 1267, a castle located on Fraoch Eilean ("heathery isle") in Loch Awe. A parchment dated 1247 and affixed with the seal of Gilcrist MacNauchtan is among the oldest charters still existing in Scotland. For the next four centuries the Argyll MacNauchtans were a formidable force, producing many knights, barons and bishops who played a significant role in the tumultuous events of the period. From MacNauchtan to McKnitt: In an era when names were rarely written -- except perhaps on birth, death, marriage and tax records -- spelling was a casual affair. Family names were often spelled several different ways within in a single document. We shouldn't be too surprised, then, if one John MacNaucht -- possibly Gilchrist's oldest son -- should drop the "-an" from his name at about the time he moved from Argyll to Galloway near the English border where he, too, was granted a royal estate. We might even sympathize with him, since "-an" was a diminutive suffix, much like "-ie" is today. With the Anglicization of Scotland, by 1600 many old Gaelic and Pictish words had been modified to suit Anglo-Saxon sensibilities, particularly in border territories such as Galloway. MacNaucht (pronounced MacNawkt) was especially difficult for English speakers, who often translated the name as "MacKnight" or "MacNeight." It was also common practice to abbreviate the patronymic Mac as "M'," which eventually came to be written as "Mc." Thus, in the span of a dozen generations, the surname adopted by a son of Nauchtan during the Middle Ages gradually evolved into a score of variants including McKnight, McNeight, McNaight, McNeit, McKnitt and others.	McKnitt, John I (I8332)
458	The Gray family clearly placed importance on their Williams blood because two children of Joseph Gray bore the Williams name. John Williams, age 80-90, was the male listed in the Joseph Gray household in the Monroe Co., Ga. 1840 Census, and is said by family record to have died in Muscogee County, Ga. and to have been buried in the city of Columbus. (John Williams died 7 Oct. 1840, in his 89th year [ref. Alfred L. Holman, "Williams Ancestry, John Williams" in "Gray History", 1917.] John Williams evidently had other children then living in or near Columbus.) Old family records preserved in the Gray-Hollis family of Forsyth, Ga. identify John Williams' wife as the former Elizabeth Moore and her mother in turn as the former Mary Davis. Joseph Gray's father Samuel Gray witnessed the will of William Moore in Tryon Co., N.C (will dated 1 Oct. 1770), naming wife Mary Moore and children Joseph Moore, John Moore (a minor), and daughter Mary Moore. Elizabeth (Moore) Williams may have been another daughter of this William and Mary Moore. A further connection between the Grays and the Moores in Tryon/Rutherford County occurred in 1802 when Joseph Gray's nephew Samuel Gray (son of James) made bond for his marriage to Frankey Moore (Rutherford County Marriage Bond, Samuel Gray to Frankey Moore, signed "James Gray for Samuel Gray" dated 22 Dec. 1802, the same date as the bond of Joseph Gray for his marriage to Elizabeth Williams, which James Gray had also signed). Joseph Gray and his nephew Samuel Gray both evidently married on the same day (21 or 22 Dec. 1802), and perhaps in a joint ceremony, the brides Elizabeth Williams and Frankey Moore evidently being cousins. (The Uncle Joseph Gray was born in 1775; the nephew Samuel Gray in 1776, thus they were near the same age. The birth of this Samuel Gray, son of Major James Gray and grandson of the first Samuel in Tryon/Rutherford County, is proven by the Bible of young Samuel's brother David Gray (b. 1783), which in 1916 was in the possession of David's son William Arthur Gray (b.1823) of Rutherfordton, N.C. W. Arthur Gray was still living in 1916 in his 93rd year. His memory, described as then being perfectly clear, provides a proof for Joseph Gray as a son of Samuel and Agnes Gray and a brother of Major James Gray of Rutherford Co., as W. Arthur Gray stated in 1916 that he knew and clearly remembered his grandfather, Major James Gray. Arthur being twelve years of age when his grandfather died in 1836, and he clearly remembered that his grandfather had brothers named "Billy" (William Gray who went to Tennessee) and "Joe" (Joseph Gray of Georgia). [Reference personal interview, Alfred L. Holman with W. Arthur Gray, Rutherfordton, N.C, 10 Nov. 1916, under "16. Samuel Gray" in Alfred L. Holman. "Gray History," 1917.] At the same time, Mrs Thomas Baldwin Hollis (Sarah Frances Gray) of Forsyth, Ga. recalled in 1916 that her father Joseph Gray II (1821-1899) told her that his father Joseph Gray (1775-1857) had a brother known as Major James Gray of Rutherford County, N.C, thus corroborating the family connection recalled by W. Arthur Gray of Rutherfordton.) JOSEPH GRAY (1755-21 Aug. 1857), son of Samuel and Agnes Gray, was born in Tryon (now Rutherford) County N.C and died in Monroe County, Ga. He married in Rutherford Co., N.C by family record on 21 Dec. 1802, Elizabeth Williams (1784-29 Oct. 1859), daughter of John Williams (b. 1750-1760, d. 7 Oct. 1840) and his wife Elizabeth (Moore) Williams of Tryon/Rutherford Co., N.C. (Marriage Bond dated 22 Dec. 1802, Joseph Gray to Elizabeth Williams, Office of the Register of Deeds, Rutherford Co. N.C bond signed "James Gray for Joseph Gray", James being Joseph's older brother. The marriage date of 21 Dec. 1802 is from an old family record and may be off by one day.) The dates of the deaths of Joseph Gray and his wife Elizabeth (Williams) and their ages at the time of their deaths are established from old family records preserved in the Gray-Hollis family of Forsyth, Monroe Co. (Joseph Gray died in Monroe Co., 21 Aug. 1857, in his 83rd year; Elizabeth (Williams) Gray died in Monroe Co., 29 Oct. 1859, aged 75 [ref. Alfred L. Holman, “Gray History”, 1917]. The Monroe County 1850 Census corroborates their birth years.) While no carved stones seem to survive over their grave, it is supposed by the writer that they are buried in what is now known as the Shi-Howard Family Graveyard just off Shi Road about a mile from its intersection with present U.S. Hwy. 41 near Bolingbroke. (See Monroe County, Georgia: A History, referenced above under Cemeteries. “#98, Shi Cemetery-Howard Cemetery.”) Children of Joseph and Elizabeth (Williams) Gray were early settlers in Fayette and Henry Cos., Ga. and in the city of Griffin. The children were: 1. Absalom Gray, 1803-c.1865, married (1) Sarah Matthews, (2) Mary F.; lived Greenville, Meriwether County, GA, and Griffin, Spalding County, GA. 2. Ambrose Williams Gray, 1805-1867, married Sarah Collier Hodnett, lived Meriwether County, GA; Henry County, GA; and Fayette County, GA. 3.

In material circumstances, Joseph Gray was a prosperous farmer (or small planter for his place and time), his property near Bolingbroke consisting of several hundred acres of land. By 1850 Joseph Gray, Jr., and his young wife Eliza Howard and several infants were living in the Joseph and Elizabeth (Williams) Gray household and the combined black families belonging to Joseph Sr., and Joseph Jr., totaled seventeen persons, from whom the labor force of the farm was drawn. By the time of Joseph Gray’s death seven years later the black population of the farm probably numbered upwards of twenty persons. After the death of Joseph Gray, Sr., in 1857, the other Gray children deeded their interest in his landed estate to their brother Joseph Gray Jr., who made his permanent residence at his parents’ old home place.

460	The records for Evan, his parents, and children, all come from the records found at St. Caron's Church in Tregaron (now Dyfd). The names and dates are located in the original records of the Shelby Family Papers, Library of Congress. These records have been microfilmed and can be found at the Flilson Club Library in Louisville, KY, and also the State Archives in Nashville, TN Although all known sources and accounts of Brigadier Evan Shelby, Jr. state that his birth was in 1720, the research below indicates that Evan’s birthdate was actually in 1725. The reason for the previous errors, as deduced by Ms. Martin, was that there was no indication of a death date of the youngest Evan Shelby who was born in 1720. However, he must have died as another Evan Shelby was born to Evan (Dhu) and Catherine in 1725 and he in fact was the one who immigrated with the family to America. The following was posted to the DYFED listserve on February 9, 2010 by Shirley Martin of Dyfed, Wales: DYFED-L ArchivesArchiver >DYFED >2010-02 >1265758886 From: “Shirley Martin” Listers, I would like to correct the date of the Christening of Evan Shelby who emigrated to America about 1735 together with his family. In all the family trees I have looked at give his christening date as 23 October 1719. Before1753 the year started in March and March is month one. The Parish Clerk in1719 named the month up to August, and then the rest were just given a number, so September was month seven, October was month eight etc., December was therefore month 10. Therefore Evan was born on the 23 December 1719. However, this Evan died as an infant in January 1721 and was buried on the 8th of January 1721. (D.C. Rees in “The History of Tregaron” made the same mistake. The Evan who emigrated to America was born in 1725 and was Christened on the 14 March 1725. Somebody has entered a X against most of the Shelby entriesin the original register, but has missed marking the death of the first Evan. I transcribed the all the burials in the Tregaron register up to 1920 for the National Burial Index. I had difficulty in reading sections of the original Parish register in the National Library of Wales and I would have liked to photograph them, but was not allowed to. However, I obtained permission to photo the copy in the Tregaron Parish Church. I was then able to load them on to my computer and enlarge the pages which made them much easier to transcribe. My work was checked by Auronwy James of the Cardiganshire Family History society, before they were sent off to the National Burial Index. I have started on the baptisms and have covered 1711 to 1812, but it has not been checked. The early section is in Latin and it takes me a while to transcribe the dates. The Latin is the parish clerk’s own version of the language. Shirley, Tregaron.

Evan Shelby, Jr. was born 23 October 1719 in Tregaron, Cardiganshire, Wales, and died 04 December 1794 in Sapling Grove, Sullivan County, Tennessee. He married Letitia Cox, daughter of David Cox and Susannah, in 1744. She was born 1725 in Maryland, and died 07 Sep 1777 in Charlottesville, VA. He married second Isabella Elliott. She died after 1794. Evan Jr. became a fur trader, was in Braddock's Campaign (1755), served as first lieutenant to Capt. Alexander BEALL in 1767-8, and later held commissions in both Maryland and Pennsylvania. About 1773, he removed to Sapling Grove where he erected Shelby's Fort in what was then Fincastle County, Virginia, and later Washington County, Virginia, but is today Bristol, Sullivan County, Tennessee. In 1774, he commanded the Fincastle Company in Dunmore's War, and was at the battle of Point Pleasant on 10 Oct of that year. In 1776, Virginia Governor Patrick Henry appointed him Major in the troops commanded by Col. William Christian against the Cherokees. On December 21, of that same year, he was appointed colonel of the militia of newly-created county of Washington, and in 1779, he led an expedition against the Chickamauga Indian towns on the lower Tennessee River. In October 1780, Evan Shelby, Jr. and his volunteer militia joined almost a thousand frontiersmen in the march on British Colonel Patrick Ferguson. The one-hour Battle of King's Mountain, at which Ferguson was killed and the British troops routed, is credited by most with having turned the tides of war in the south. In 1781, he was elected a member of the North Carolina Senate, and in 1786, the North Carolina Assembly appointed him brigadier general of militia of the Washington District of North Carolina. In March 1787, North Carolina Commissioner Evan Shelby negotiated a temporary truce with Col. John Sevier, governor of the short-lived State of Franklin. In August 1787, he was elected governor of the State of Franklin to succeed Sevier, but declined. He resigned as brigadier general on October 29, 1787, the last of his public service. By Letitia Cox, Evan Shelby, Jr. had seven children: Susannah, John, Isaac, James, Catherine, Moses and Evan. By Isabella Elliott he had three more children: James, Letitia and Eleanor. His son, Isaac (right), also had a distinguished career and, in 1792, was elected the first Governor of Kentucky. Brigadier General Evan S. Shelby Jr., born to Evan Shelby (Selby) and his wife Catherine Morgan was baptized October 23, 1720. His actual birth date is unknown. He and his family immigrated to America about 1735, when he was about fifteen years of age, and settled in what is later Antrim Township, Franklin County, Pennsylvania. In 1739, they moved into Prince George’s (later Frederick) County, Maryland where his father died in July 1751. Evan Jr. continued to reside in Maryland, near the North Mountain, Frederick County (now a part of Washington County) where he obtained by either deed or patent nearly 24,000 acres of land. He became interested in the Indian fur trade and was concerned in trading posts at Michilimackinac and Green Bay. On February 26, 1745, Evan Jr. purchased property from his father, called “Maiden’s Choice” in Prince George County, Maryland. Evan married Letitia (Leddy) Cox (Coxe) on December 4, 1745 at Kings Meadow. They had seven children: Rachel, born 1745; Susannah, born 1746; John, born 1748; Governor Isaac Shelby, born 1750; James, born 1752; Catherine, born 1755; Major Evan Shelby III, born 1757; and Moses, born 1761. In his publication “The Birthplace and Childhood Home of Isaac Shelby in Washington County, Maryland”, 1972, Gerald J Sword describes how Evan and Letitia Shelby lost the fight for their land (part of “Maidens Choice”) to Dr Charles Carroll. It’s not clear who aptly renamed the land to “Shelby’s Misfortune”. Mr. Sword states: “…The reason for Letitia to appear in court was to answer charges that she instructed their ‘Dutch servant man’ to cut down and burn the tree marking the beginning point of this land. In June 1754, Shelby gave a recognizance of 6,000 lbs of tobacco for the appearance of his wife to answer the charges against her in the Frederick Co. Court. The case was continued from time to time until the June court of 1758: “A suit on behalf of the Lord Proprietary vs Letitia Shelby for destroying a bound tree for a tract of land belonging to Dr Carroll, when it was ‘maked struck off after 15 continuances…” Marriage Notes for Evan Shelby & Letitia Cox: Marriage date is based on land records for 1744-45, and the proven ages of their children. Marriages Notes for Evan Shelby & Isabella Elliot: Much to the family's horror and anger, Evan remarried at the age of 67, to a young girl that Gov. Shelby spent years trying to prove was nothing but a golddigger. Evan’s will was evidently filed in Sullivan County, but was destroyed by the burning of the court house during the battle of Blountville in the War Between the States, 1863. However, a copy was entered in the Washington County, Virginia, Will book No. 2, page 186, having been probated there on October 25, 1798. A transcript of the will on record follows: Dated 21 Feb 1778: “I Evan Shelby being of sound mind and memory do make and ordain this my last Will and Testament, do dispose of my Estate as follows, Viz. It is my desire that all my just debts be first paid. Item. I give to my eldest son John Shelby that Tract of land whereon he now lives on Wattago River in the State of North Carolina the purchase money and officers fees that may be due for the said land is to be paid out of my Estate by executors hereafter to be mentioned, my land laying on Buffalow Creek a branch of Wattago aforesaid, I desire my executors to sell and dispose of all the money arising there from to be equally divided between my two grandchildren Evan and Sarah Shelby. Also I give to my said grandchildren to be delivered to them in one year after my death each one a mare to be of the value of twenty-five punds each; I give and bequeath to my son Isaac Shelby, all my part of that tract of land laying in Washington County and State of Virginia known by the name of the Hazel Lands, being one third part of the said whole tract (being on the south and southeast end thereof) which I purchased from Col. William Preston in partnership with John Shelby son and in case the said land cannot be made good by the said William Preston according to my purchase of him, then my desire is that my son Isaac Shelby shall receive in lieu thereof one hundred and fifty pounds out of the remaining part of my estate. I give to my daughter Catherine Shelby Six Hundred pounds Virginia currency to be paid to her as soon as my lands lying in the State of Maryland can be sold by my executors, and if the sale of the said lands do not amount to six hundred punds the deficiency to be paid her by my executors out of the remainder of my estate. I also give and bequeath to my said daughter Catherine the mare and her two colts which I had formerly given to her and four couws, also a feather bed, and furniture for it; I give and bequeath the remaining part of my estate both real and personal to my fours sons vis. Isaac Shelby, James Shelby, Evan Shelby and Moses Shelby to be equally and fairly divided among(s)t them, and lastly my desire is that Isaac Shelby, James Shelby, and Evan Shelby be my executors, to whom I give full power and authority to sell and dispose of my estate in the best manner that each one may receive his or her own part of my estate as before mentioned …21st day of February, 1778 ..signed Evan Shelby Witnesses: James Thompson, Geo. Blackburn, John Patterson” SHELBY, Evan, pioneer, born in Wales in 1720; died at King's Meadows (now Bristol), Tennessee, 4 December, 1794. At the age of fifteen he emigrated with his father's family to North Mountain, near Hagerstown, Maryland He received a meager education, but when quite young became noted as a hunter and woodsman. In the old French War he rose from the rank of Private to that of Captain, in which capacity he served throughout the campaign of General John Forbes. He then engaged in trade with the Indians, and afterward embarked extensively in herding and raising cattle on the Virginia border. He was thus employed when, in 1774, war began with the Shawnees and Delawares. Raising a body of fifty volunteers in the Watauga district, he led them on a march of twenty-five days through a trackless wilderness, and joined the Virginia army on the eve of the battle of Point Pleasant .Toward the close of the action, all his ranking officers being either killed or disabled, the command devolved upon him, and he utterly routed the enemy. In 1779 he led a successful expedition against the Chickamauga Indians. He subsequently served with the Virginia army on the seaboard, rising to the rank of Colonel, and then to that of General.

Heiskell from an old citizen of Bristol tells the following- "Abt 1870, 5th St, Bristol, TN was opened and it became necessary to remove the bodies in the cemetery adjoining the First Presb. Church. In this cemetery were the remains of Gen Evan Shelby. Interested parties removed the remains of their own dead, but Gen Shelby's bones were taken up and placed in a common box and were locked up in the City Calaboose [jail] but a few steps away for safekeeping. Just how long they remined there I do not know. I was a boy of 13 years, and remember distinctly of having the skull in my hands. The bones were then reinterred in the East Hill Cemetery which is located in the State of VA & TN. Gen Shelby's remains now sleep in the of old VA and his grave is now covered with the iron slab that was placed on his grave when 1st buried." Letter written by Mr Charles H. Slack, in the 13 June 1925 issue of the Bristol News...CKS- 1947 MSS p189 includes the whole article... "Gen Shelby's bones were transferred from the jail to the P. O. then the city cemetery in VA. Then in May 1896 with the Civic Ceremonys, laid to their final rest." What is now Bristol, Sullivan County, TN - Letter dated Aug 1929 to CKS from Mr Thomas W Preston, President of the King Printing Company, whose plant stands on the north side of Shelby Street nearly opposite the Lutheran Church, said that the fireplug at the southwest corner of Shelby and Fifth is on the exact spot occupied by the original grave. This would place it near the northern line of his property. The cranberry iron slab that serves as a marker, was obtained from Colonel King's iron works and is the same kind as was later placed on Kings grave. Both are coffin shaped. Shelby's marker bears the inscription: "General Evan Shelby died December 4, 1794 aged 74" cut into the iron. The marker was transferred from the original grave to the new one in the military section of East Hill cemetery at its western end.

[Preamble.] Whereas it appears to this General Assembly, by a Certificate under the Hand of his Excellency General Forbes, that one Captain Charles (Brother to Custoga, a Delaware Indian), Commanding a Party of Warriors, in a Skirmish near Loyalbanning, was killed on the Twelfth Day of November, in the Year of our Lord One Thousand Seven Hundred and Fifty-eight, by Captain Evan Shelby, who commanded a Company of Maryland Voluntiers; and that the Scalp of the said Captain Charles was delivered to the Cherokee Indians by his Desire, in Order, as it is apprehended by this General Assembly, to attach them to the British Interest.

The Petition of the Subscribing Magistrates of Frederick County. Most humbly sheweth That your Petitioners, with great Sorrow and Regret find themselves obliged to accuse two of their own Members of a Scandalous Abuse of that Power which your Excellency hath thought proper to intrust them with in joint Commission with your Petitioners. That without insiting upon other Irregularities, your Petitioners will Confine themselves at present to the Information they have received of Capt Evan Shelby, and Mr Joseph Warford, in a Case of Fornication, as follows. That a certain Catherine Wheate, Daughter of Conrad Wheate, in the Month of September last, Charged Thomas Hynes, on Oath, before Capt Thomas Price, one of his Lordship's Justices of this County, with being the Father of her Bastard Child. Whereupon Capt Price took Recognizance for her appearance at November Court, and also for the Man's appearance and made return thereof accordingly. That the said Hynes appearing at the said November Court, but the young Woman not appearing, the matter was respited till March Court following. That Hynes, in the Interim, apply'd to Capt Evan Shelby for a Warrant to take the Child from the said Catherine its Mother, which was granted in the form of a Search Warrant for Stolen Goods; and in pursuance thereof, on the 2d December Barnett Johnson Constable of Linton hundred, with five more, went to the House of Conrad Wheate, and after calling for Whiskey, and making other Pretences, at Length demanded of Conrad Wheate to deliver up his Daughter's Child, pretending they had an Order of Court for it: Which Wheate demanding to see the Order, and finding the same only to be an Order of Capt Shelby's, refused to comply with, as his Daughter was under Recognizance already. Upon which Refusal a Riot ensued, a Door being broke open, and several of the People of the House severely beaten by the Constable and his followers, who seized the Child, and carried it to the House of Ralph Matson where Capt Shelby was, who received the Child from the Constable, and delivered the same to Willm Hynes. That Joseph Flint, and Thomas Brooks being offered on the young Woman's part as her Security for keeping the Child off the Parish, were refused by Capt Shelby, who also threatened that if ever he catched Conrad Wheat in Maryland he would have him cropp'd for disobeying his Orders in not giving up the Child, and declared if he had gone there in Person he would have burnt Wheate's House over his Head and at the same time took Bond in his Lordship's behalf of William and Thomas Hynes in the Penalty of £100 to keep the Child off the Parish. That upon Complaint of Conrad Wheate and the others who had been beaten Hynes and the other Rioters were brought before Mr Joseph Warford, where finding the matter more serious than they had imagined, and likely to become a Court Business, Thomas Hynes gets the Girl on his Lap, and (as Mr Warford writes in his narrative) was very Sweet. Whereupon Mr Warford Advised the young Man, to a Marriage, which was at Length agreed upon, the Girl's Father promising to give the young Couple £30 & a £5 Wedding. That during these Transactions, Capt Shelby demanded of Joseph Warford a Warrant for the young Woman's fine, which Mr Warford refused to Grant he also refused to sign one drawn up by Capt Shelby, and presented to him for that purpose. Whereupon the Capt Signed it himself, had her immediately taken into Custody, and again discharged her on receiving a Promissary note from Thomas Hynes for the amount of her fine. That Cap' Shelby at Length proceeded to the Marriage ceremony, which he performed by asking the young Man whether he would take that Woman to his lawful Wedded Wife? and put the same Question, mutatis mutandis to the young Woman; after which he pronounced them to be lawful Man & Wife, saying Jump Dog, Leap Bitch, and I'll be damned if all the Men on Earth can unmarry you. That the new married Couple were put to bed in Mr War- ford's own Bed, with the usual Ceremonies of throwing the Stocking &c. Mrs Warford having previously received five Shillings for the use of the said Bed. And the whole Proceedings on the Riot &c. quashed at once. That some time after the young Couple had been left to themselves, the young Man wanted to leave his Consort: and opening the Door would have come out. But was prevented by Capt Shelby, who opposed him with a fork in his hand, which he threatened to jobb into his Cutts if he attempted to leave his Wife. Whereupon the young fellow retired peaceably, and was found by the Company early in the Morning fast asleep in Bed with his Consort. That a review of the above recited Transaction may be sufficient to shew how incapable either of the above mentioned Persons are to sustain the dignified Character wherewith they are invested; and how unworthy of that high Trust which their ignorance of the Laws, whereby the Community is to be regulated, their assuming to themselves Powers with which they are not invested, and their turning the Execution of their Office by indirect Means to their own private Emolument and the scandal of Public Justice, have so grossly abused. Your Petitioners therefore humbly pray that the aforesaid Captain Evan Shelby, and Mr Joseph Warford may be left out of the Commission for the Peace in Frederick County, that the whole Body (otherwise, We hope, respectable) may not be wounded thro' their Sides or laughed at as their Associates. And, as in Duty bound they will ever pray &c. Andrew Hugh Willm Blair Peter Bainbridge T: Dickson Thos Price Wm Luckett. Ordered that the Clerk Write the following Letter, which was transmitted under a Cover to Mr Darnall.

Sapling Grove predates TN and Bristol.. On 22 Feb 1749/50, there had been surveyed by Thomas Lewis (surveyor of Augusta Co, VA) for John Tayloe, Jr, of Richmond Co, 1, 946 acres of land on Shallow (now Beaver) creek, a tributary of Middle Fork of Indian (now Holston) River, to which tract was given the name "Sapling Grove." Tayloe assigned his rightover to John Buchanan and the latter sold the tract to Evan Shelby and Isaac Baker of Maryland. Buchanan, however, gave the purchasers no deed to the property, since he had not then received a patent for it, nor was the patent issued until 23 Dec 1779, after Buchanan had died. It was made out to William Preston and William Campbell, the executors of Buchanan's estates; but for some unknown reason they also failed in their lifetime to give deeds to Baker and Shelby. In the meantime both Baker and Shelby themselves died and it was not until 1795 that Shelby's heirs got title to his half of the property and on 2 Nov 1799 they were given the deed being made out by the executors of William Preston, dec'd [Washington Co, VA deed book No. 2, pg 223] The plat of the original survey of Sapling Grove, is in the Augusta Co, VA surveyor's book and also in the files of the Virginia Land Office. The twin cities of Bristol, VA-TN, cover practically the original survey. I have a photocopy of the original land plat, found in the Shelby Family Papers in the Library of Congress..There is also a bill of sale dated 11 Feb 1773 showing Evan taking possession of the Sapling Grove tract. The land was already known as "Sapling Grove" when Isaac Baker and Evan Shelby bought the land from Col John Buchanan-At which time the land was thought to be in Virginia. Evan died while living on this land in 1794. His widow [2nd wife] Isabella (Elliott) Shelby remarried a few years later to Alexander Dromgoole- They had 2 children while living on this land. Isaac was the executor of his fathers estate. When Isaac settled this part of the estate [late 1799], he wrote, "I have no farther demands against said Isabella on account of the said Estate, nor has she any farther claim against sd Estate either for Dower or otherwise and further it is a primary object in the settlemt. which I have made with sd Isabella that Alexander Dromgoole is on no pretence whatever to set his foot on the Sapling Grove Plantation belonging to me" Isaac, sold this tract to Col James King on 26 Nov 1814 for $10,000. [The Shelby Family Papers-Library of Congress] (Source: Judith A. Trolinger) In the Draper Manuscripts 4CC85a-b a Mrs. Elizabeth Thomas statement- I knew Capt. Edward Worthington, he was an Irishman and had a wife or rather a woman by the name of Betsey with who he lived as such, and when he marched with General Clark against Vincennes in the fall 1778 he left her in Harrodsburgh and an amusing anecdote took place between her and Evan Shelby who had a sham wedding with her.She insisted it was a good marriage and it cost Evan some trouble and money to get clear of her. She afterward met Capt. Worthington at the fall of the Ohio and they returned to Harrodsburgh in 1781 or two and lived there for several years and then moved up to Lincoln County near Danville on Clark's Run and some years after that he went to New Orleans and died there. She's speaking of Capt. Worthington dying in New Orleans. I thought I might be able to gain some perspective on this marriage from the Shelby line. Betsey seemed to be a character and somewhat of a mystery. I was hoping the Shelby's might have some information on her or the marriage. On 5 March 1783 Lincoln County court. The grand jury appeared to the adjournment and were sent out of the Court and after some time returned and presented, Elizabeth Stephens alias Elizabeth Shelby for committing fornication with Edward Worthington. Edward Worthington for committing fornication with Elizabeth Stephens alias Elizabeth Shelby" Defendants did not appear in court to answer the charges. 6 March 1783 The Attorney General orders that the presentment made by the grand jury yesterday against Edward Worthington for living and cohabiting with Elizabeth Stephens alias Elizabeth Shelby, in adultry are quashed. Edward Worthington fined 500 pounds of tobacco for failure to appear. Lincoln Co. Court I think Elizabeth at times went by the first name of Mary. I also think that some time after all of these court proceedings she and Capt. Edward did marry. Preachers were few and far between back then, and I guess they just decided to "cohabitate". By this informaation being in the Draper Manuscripts I think there must be some truth to it. The gossips seem to know about it. Please, if you can uncover anything from the Shelby viewpoint I would be most interested and grateful for any information. I am descended from the Worthington camp and all this stuff with Betsey, Mary, Elizabeth Stephens Shelby Worthington. (Source: Beverly Pennington - 2004)	Shelby, Brigadier General Evan Jr. (I11)

Horace Edwin Hayden, pg. 75-76, under the line of Margaret Ball and Rawleigh Downman: "The following is from a very old paper found among the Ball records in the possession of Miss J. R. D. It may be mere tradition: 'When the Saxtons and the Danes invaded England, there was three families joined themselves together and spent a great part of their fortunes in raising what force they could to defend their country and they eventually gained the victory when their battle was over ye King gave Each family A Coat of arms the first had three bleeding hearts ye second had three sheaves of wheat ye third had hart stuck with two darts. My father's great grandfather gave Great assistance to the building up of a Catherdral Church in plemoth his name was set in the wall. William Downman a Great rememberer of the poor. But I beleave that may be down by this time. My Grand father went to perbadus (Barbadoes) and lived at a place called Spikeres (?) my father was left his Estate a youth having more money than he had wit to keep. At that time there was some that had run themselves in debt and persuaded him to be their security which he readily agreed to and for a large sum of money not considering the ill Consequences that attended it. So many had done that.' To this paper another hand has added: 'Rawleigh Downman, the young son, not being so provided as his father, ran through the large part of his estate, and moved to Bermuda thence to Lanc'r Co., VA, 1653 He m. _____ Travers, and having somewhat repaired his fortune, died 1682, leaving a son, Rawleigh , who married Margaret Ball, and a daughter, Mrs. Pinchard'. Mr. Rawleigh Downman's part of Mr. Pinckhard's estate was two negroes and articles valued at 103 pounds.16.8. I find nothing to confirm this tradition as to the arms, or the church at Plymouth. Later research may discover the correctness of the tradition. The name Downman early appears in VA. Among 'the living', Feb 16, 1623 at Elizabeth City were John Douneman and Elizabeth Douneman. (Col. Rec. #52). This John was Burgess from E(lizabeth) City, Oct 16, 1629. 'When a boy he came to VA, 1611, married a maid sent out in 1621 in the Warwich' ( VA Car. 74). William Downman, Gent, was among the second supply to VA 1608 (Arber's Smith 129). William Downman, Nov 15, 1652, bought of Ben Powell a patent of 100 a(cres) in Corotoman, called 'Harwood' (L. 216). The estate of William Downman and Dorothy Downman was appraised by Thomas Hacket and Edwin Conniway (Conway) 165-. The name Rawleigh is so frequent in this line that in the absence of dates it is impossible to locate those who bear it. 'I have heard my father say that there were three Rawleigh Ds. living at one time in the same neighborhood in what is now Richmond Co. They were all cousins and cousins of my Grandfather Rawleigh (J.R.D.)'. It is probable that I, Rawleigh D., of Lancaster Co., VA of 1653, who married _____ Travers had ii. Margaret, who married c. 1675 Capt. William Ball, and iii. Rawleigh who had iv. Rawleigh m. c. 1715 Margaret Ball, his cousin, supra, v. Eliza,, who married Thomas Pinchard, below, and vi. William, executor of his brother Rawleigh, of whom the above paper makes no mention. This William may have been father of Travers Downman (I.) Dec 23, 1747, Grace Ball (pg. 67), and II, Dec. 30, 1764, Ann Heath Conway (Conway 14); also of William who married Agnes, dau. of Major Field Archer, of Chesterfield (Critic ii.34). Robert Downman, M.D., grad. Univ. Edinburgh 1798; thesis, 'De Puerperam peritonitide,' 2 plates, p. 48, 1798. A Downman whose name does not appear had ----. I. William, who had the following children: i. Eliza, m ____Smyth of Auston, TX.; ii. Sallie C. who m. _____ Brown and had 12 children. Of these, F. R. Brown of Littleton, VA wrote me May 13, 1889, 'My mother has been dead 18 months. I do not know anything of the family beyond my grandfather'; iii. Lucy. II. Mildred m. Thomas Ball, whom I cannot place; III. Elizabeth m. Maj. Stokley Towles. Note - (Martha Cross Mordecai - 2004): After giving thought to the notes of J. R. D., in Rev. Hayden's book, and thinking she was talking about Plymouth, MA, and seeing the information from the Library of VA, I came to realize that she was really talking about Plymouth, England. So I ran a search on Plymouth, England. Very interesting. Plymouth is in the County of Devon, which is a maritime county in southwest England, and is bounded on the north by the Bristol Channel, on the east by Dorset and Somerset, on the south by the English Channel and the west by Cornwall. Exeter is the county town. Plymouth is an English Channel port and has been an important seaport for over 500 years. Plymouth is located at the confluence of the Plym (Plymouth = Mouth of Plym) and Tamar Rivers at Plymouth Sound. Since its establishment during the early 1400s, Plymouth has been an important military institution. The Citadel, a stone fortress built in the late 1600s by Charles II, is still used by the military. There is a Mayflower Monument at Plymouth, England, as well as one at Plymouth, Mass. There is also a plaque in Plymouth, England placed there in 1984, on the 400th anniversary of Sir Walter Raleigh's Colonies, which says: "The Roanoke Colonies from Plymouth on 27th April 1584, Walter Raleigh sent Philip Amadas and Arthur Barlow to North America to Explore & Prepare for English Colonisation on 13th July. They Claimed Land in the Name of Queen Elizabeth Called Virginia in Her Honor. This Area is Now Known as North Carolina. In 1585 A Colony Under Gov. Ralph Lane Settled There On Roanoke Island Remaining a Year. In 1587 A Second Colony Under Gov. John White Established The 'Cittie of Ralegh' At the Same Site. This Settlement Known As Raleigh's 'Lost Colony' Disappeared Between 1587 & 1590." I know I learned all of this while in school MANY years ago, but have forgotten it, and now I have reason to remember it. Sir Walter Raleigh was a hero about the time the Downman's came here and that is probably why Rawleigh became a repeated family given name. Also, the Downman's grew tobacco traditionally. They accumulated their wealth on tobacco. This particular tobacco came from Barbadoes. One of the first Downman's lived in "Elizabeth Citte, VA. ... ". Elizabeth I, the Virgin Queen, was the financial backer and primary supporter of Sir Walter Raleigh. I re-read the notes, carefully. This time it said something different to me. "My father's great grandfather gave Great assistance to the building up of a Cathedral Church in plemoth his name was set in the wall, 'William Downman a Great rememberer of the poor'." He either helped restore it, or, following Henry VIII's direction, helped change it over to Anglican, by removing all Roman Catholic icons and decor in order to make it an Anglican Cathedral. If the later is the case, he would have had to have been born before 1539. On research, I found that there is presently one major Cathedral in Plymouth. It is Roman Catholic and was built in 1848. Too young, and not the right flavor. The only Anglican Cathedral in Devon is Exeter Cathedral, which is the seat of the Bishop of Exeter whose diocese includes Plymouth. It could easily be the right one as it is old enough, and it is the right order. It existed during the time of Henry VIII and the Reformation. Plymouth has a very old mother church which is called St. Andrews. It is a 1200 year old, what's left of, Cathedral. The sad thing is that during the blitz, in World War II, the whole inside of this Cathedral was burned out. Basics are still there but if this is the Cathedral spoken of in the notes, then there is nothing left of the memorializing of William Downman. It is now Roman Catholic and, though it has never been restored, it has been patched together enough to still be a place of practice. Another thing is, I worked with the message to figure who she (the writer) was speaking of: "my father's great-grandfather" (would have been her great-great-grandfather). She gives her explanation, in essence, of who she is: 1) my Grand father went to perbadus (Barbadoes) and lived at a place called Spikeres (?) .. 2) my father was left his Estate a youth having more money than he had wit to keep at that time there was some that had run themselves in debt and persuaded him to be their security which he readily agreed to and for a large sum of money not considering the ill Consequences that attended it so many had done that.' 3) To this paper another hand has added: 'Rawleigh Downman, the young son, not being so provided as his father, ran through the large part of his estate, and moved to Bermuda thence to Lanc'r Co., VA, 1653 He m. _____ Travers, and having somewhat repaired his fortune, died 1682, leaving a son, Rawleigh , who married Margaret Ball, and a daughter, Mrs. Pinchard'." Here is my, not totally concluded, conclusion: ...my Father = William Raleigh Downman Jr., b. bef 1657 (m. Million Travers), ...my Grandfather = William Downman Sr., prob. b. 1630, (m. Dorothy Nichols) ...my Great-Grandfather = William Sr's father, prob b. 1610, ...my Great-Great-Grandfather, (my father's Great-Grandfather) = "William Downman, a Great Rememberer of the Poor". William Sr's Grandfather prob. b. 1590. This would be the one who came over on the Mary -Margaret in 1608. If I allowed for variance of years between generations, the G.G.Grandfather would or might have been born about the time Henry VIII changed England's alliance to the Anglican Church. Possibly the William Downman, in the notes of J. R. D., who helped raise the Cathedral in Plemoth (Plymouth), and whose name is in the wall of the Cathedral: "...my father's great grandfather gave Great assistance to the building up of a Catherdral Church in plemoth his name was set in the wall. William Downman a Great rememberer of the poor. But I beleave that may be down by this time. My Grand father went to perbadus (Barbadoes) and lived at a place called Spikeres (?) my father was left his Estate a youth having more money than he had wit to keep at that time there was some that had run themselves in debt and persuaded him to be their security which he readily agreed to and for a large sum of money not considering the ill Consequences that attended it so many had done that.'

William Downman, Gent, was among the second supply to VA 1608 (Arber's Smith 129). William Downman, Nov 15, 1652, bought of Ben Powell a patent of 100 a(cres) in Corotoman, called 'Harwood' (L. 216). The estate of William Downman and Dorothy Downman was appraised by Thomas Hacket and Edwin Conniway (Conway) 165-. The name Rawleigh is so frequent in this line that in the absence of dates it is impossible to locate those who bear it. 'I have heard my father say that there were three Rawleigh Ds. living at one time in the same neighborhood in what is now Richmond Co. They were all cousins and cousins of my Grandfather Rawleigh (J.R.D.)'. It is probable that I, Rawleigh D., of Lancaster Co., VA of 1653, who married _____ Travers had ii. Margaret, who married c. 1675 Capt. William Ball, and iii. Rawleigh who had iv. Rawleigh m. c. 1715 Margaret Ball, his cousin, supra, v. Eliza,, who married Thomas Pinchard, below, and vi. William, executor of his brother Rawleigh, of whom the above paper makes no mention. This William may have been father of Travers Downman (I.) Dec 23, 1747, Grace Ball (pg. 67), and II, Dec. 30, 1764, Ann Heath Conway (Conway 14); also of William who married Agnes, dau. of Major Field Archer, of Chesterfield (Critic ii.34).

462	There were 3 Campbells in Bibb County by 1825, Aaron, David (and Charity) and Elijah (and Lizzie Kemp). When David died in 1926, their children, Acy, Lacy and John were left with Charity. Probably Calvin Glasscock, the husband of Catherine Campbell (David's sister), accepted responsibility as the male guardian for David and Charity's children. 1830 Bibb Co., AL Census: Charity is listed with 1 male and 1 female under 5, 2 males 5-10; 1 male 10-15; 1 female 30-40. Joseph, Nancy, John, Nathan "Nace", Asa 'Acey", Charity. (Elizabeth and Elijah C. were married and moved out). 1840 CENSUS: Bibb, AL, lists Charity as female bet 50 - 60, also listed 1 male bet 10-15 and 1 female under 5. (Joseph and Susan) 1850 CENSUS: Shelby, AL, Charity listed age 60, Nathan age 32, Nancy age 20, Susan D, age 17 Charity Yoholo was half sister to Chief Menawa. Menawa was the Warrior Chief of the Upper Creek Nation and led the battle of Horseshoe Bend. (From all that I have read, I think Charity was the daughter of Menawa and Hannah. MCM-2004) Azalia Thomas of Sandy, Utah, stated in a letter to Terri Jean Adams, 114 S. Main St., Weaverville, NC 28787, dated 10-4-1995 that she corresponded with U.V. Waldrop, who was born in the general area of AL where the Campbells lived. " It seems that David Campbell married a Creek Indian girl whose 'white' name was Charity. U.V. says that she was the sister of a Creek War Chief and that her last name was Yoholo. When David died, leaving Charity with several children, she began taking in boarders. Some two years after David's death, Charity gave birth to a little girl. Indian customs allowed a widow to take lovers. The Campbells, being good, upright Baptists, were naturally upset, and Catherine and her husband Calvin Glasscock, went to court and got custody of all children except for the baby girl. Aaron Campbell and Patsy reared two of the children, twin boys I believe. " U.V. is a descendant of that baby girl, Susan. He says his grandfather told him this story and told him the name of the boarder who was the father. But, U.V. was young at the time and now that he'd really like to know, he can not remember the name his grandfather gave him. On page 136 of Ulysses Abrams book (Early History of Bibb County Alabama), I found the following: "James REID vs. Opothle-Yahola and Jim Boy (37) Trespass, assault, and Battery - This action was tried at the term of the Circuit Court, which has just terminated. Judgment by default had been rendered at a previous term. From the evidence, it appeared that in June, 1828, the plaintiff accompanied a deputy of the sheriff of Shelby County into the Creek Nation for the purpose of aiding in the execution of process; that he was seized by the Indians, bound with cords, stripped of his clothing save a light shirt and pantaloons, carried first to Tuckabatchee and there, by one of the defendants, bound with additional cords and ordered on to Thomas Trippett's who was the sub-agent; and from there, taken to Line Creek by a party of Indians under command of the other defendants, his back made bare, tied fast to a tree, and beat with hickory sticks an inch thick and five feet in length, forty stripes. The court instructed the jury that the only question for them was to assess damage. They retired, and in a few minutes, returned with a verdict of $4,500.00. The case was argued by Busbee and Hinton for the plaintiff; and Gordon, Goldthwaite and Campbell for the defendants." (The Alabama Intellingencer, Tuscaloosa, April, 1830)." The person, James Reid, mentioned in this case was a neighbor of Alexander Cobb who my Elijah C Campbell (son of Charity and David) was the overseer for . . . I am interested in researching this further, but do not have any idea where to start . . . also am interested in the Campbell who defended them.

There is now before me a letterhead, the letter written in Indian Territory, December 24, 1894, which contains the words: "Wetumka National Labor School, Col. Wm. Robison, Supt.," and among the names of the faculty I find as matron, Miss Hannah Monahwee, who is a grand-daughter of that noted chief who commanded the Creek warriors at the great battle of Tohopeka. His name written by some Menawa, by some Monahwee. And a grandson of the noted High Head Jim, as mentioned elsewhere, is a highly respected Methodist minister in the Territory, the Rev. William Jimboy. The introduction of Christianity into the Creek, or as the educated Indians now write, the Muskogee Nation, opens an interesting chapter in the progress of the Gospel. No white missionaries first bore the Gospel to them, but "an old negro named Billy " taught it to a young Indian man in the Indian Territory, Joseph Islands, and they two commenced a work which, with the help of white missionaries, has been growing until now.

The tree traces all the way back to the Creek warrior, Chief Menawa. Your site suggests a daughter of Menawa possibly known as Charity, who married my direct descendent, Robert Campbell. A muster roll of names of Creeks listed to be moved west from Alabama reveals her name as Kurn Chartee,(Charity) in English. I visited the battlesite 3/26/04 on the anniversary of the Battle of Horseshoe Bend. Thanks for the site you have and the information I've found in my search. I'll update as I progress. Sunday, March 28th 2004 - 09:01:46 AM (Emails from Barbara Rowe - 2005) "The confusion came because David Campbell's siblings took a dim view of Charity's 'morals' and took David's younger children to live with them. Charity had two more daughters after David's death. Since Charity was raised in the Creek fashion, and if I am not mistaken it was a matriarchal society like the Cherokee, therefore Charity would have seen nothing wrong in what she did since David was dead. One note I forgot to point out; the two daughters that were not David's were not born until well after guardianship was appointed, Nancy in 1829 and Susan two years later. The family story says Charity took in boarders to make ends meet, a lot of widows did that. So I tend to believe that David's siblings were just helping out by taking some of the children into their homes so that Charity would have fewer mouths to feed. She needed the older boys to help her run the place they lived, so it would make since for the younger boys to go live with aunts and uncles. The eldest daughter, Elizabeth (my line) had only recently married Josiah Beasley and probably could not take in her brothers. Regardless of what lore was passed down, I prefer to believe the best about the siblings who were good church going folks and would have been helping, not judging." Menewa's (1765 - 1843) boyhood name was Yoholo; the name given to him by his father was Othlepoya Yoholo. When the Creeks chose him as chief in 1820, he became known as Menewa. On April 26, 1826, he was chosen as the principle chief of the Creek Indian tribes. (This information is from a letter written by Mary Ann Campbell Peigh of Bessemer, Alabama, on December 28, 1970, to her uncle, Joshua Banks Campbell.) Menewa married Hannah Cornell, also a Creek. They had two children, Katee Ann (1786 - 1865) and Little Warrior (1785 - 181?). Katee Ann married Reuben Weed (Creek, ? - 1814; died in Battle of Horseshoe Bend), and they had Katee (1804 - 1890), Hannah (died 1880), and Charity Yoholo (died 1872). Charity, Menewa's grandaughter, married Robert David Campbell (1767 - 1835), and they had twins Asa and Nathan, and two girls and another son who seem to have disappeared with their mother. Asa and Nace were raised by their father's brother, Alvin (sic Calvin), upon their father's death. (Source: Amanda Givens. Ancestry Post 4 May 2005)	Cornell-Yoholo, Kurn Chartee (I981)
463	This is a continuation of Beall family history from the biographical sketch: "Bealls of Carroll: Descended from Ninian Beall of Scotland". The Carroll County Bealls are descended from both Ninian Beall and from his son Thomas Beall who also came to America. The descendancy of General Beall of Carroll is as follows: I. Ninian Beall & Elizabeth Gordon>their son next II. Thomas Beall & Elizabeth Bateman>their son next III. John Beall & Virlinda Magruder>their son next IV. Josiah Beall & Millicent Bradley>their son next V. Thaddeus Beall & Amelia Beall>their son next VI. Frederick Beall & Martha Peyton Beall>their son next VII. General William Beall & Nancy Chandler General William Beall was born in Franklin County, Georgia on February 20, 1795, the son of General Frederick Beall and his wife Martha Peyton Beall. (Frederick and Martha were cousins, he the son of Thaddeus Beall & Jane Amelia Beall and she the daughter of Daniel Bell & Martha Peyton--see biographical sketch of Ninian Bell on this Carroll County, GA website for more about Beall ancestors...) General William Beall spent his early years in growing up in Franklin County, Georgia and we find him in records first as serving as Justice of the Inferior Court in Franklin County as early as 1820-1821. In 1829, he served as a Representative from Franklin Co, Ga. and again in 1830. He was a Captain in the 263rd District Co, of Franklin Co, Ga. Militia, on Sept. 7, 1813. He did not earn his title of General until he served in the War with Mexico in 1836. By 1832, General Beall had moved his family to Carroll County, Georgia because he was serving as Senator from Carroll County in 1832, 1833, 1836, and 1841. In 1845, he was the Senator from the 30th District. He was a Member of the Convention in 1839 representing Carroll County. He was a Justice of the Inferior Court in Carroll County beginning in 1834- 1837. General Beall settled on Buck Creek, four miles north of Carrollton, which is where he lived and died. General William Beall married Nancy Chandler on 16th of August 1816 in Franklin Co, Ga. She was born 28th of January 1797 and died at Carrollton, Ga. 6 November 1886. Gen Beall died at Ellijay, Ga. 22 August 22 1851. There is a monument to Gen. Beall here in Carroll County, which I believe to be his gravesite, as there are other tombstones there. It has his correct birth and death dates on it. General William Beall and Nancy Chandler had the following children: 1. Otho Perryman Beall, b. 15 August 1817, d. 17 Sept 1879 2.

Effie Smith Captain Beall was living in the town of Dallas, Georgia in Paulding County when his first son, Benjamin Burke, was born in 1874. By 1876, the family had moved to the country between Dallas and Villa Rica, Georgia, near the Concord Baptist Church where Capt. Beall and his second wife are buried. His first wife, Sarah Awtrey, was buried in Dallas. Captain Noble Newman Beall practiced law in Dallas and the family farmed on their country place in Paulding County. Capt. Beall lived to be 81 years old and was described as "a handsome old gentleman, with snow-white hair and beard, the hair falling to his shoulders, and the beard to his chest." Eliza Caroline Brown Beall was described as "rather tall, with dark hair, grey eyes, and fair complexion--a kind considerate woman who visited her children each year whenever possible after her husband died and until her death..." Now, I have to backtrack here a minute because the Candlers in Carroll County take a little different descent than Gen. William Beall. They all had common ancestors in that they were all descended from John Beall and Virlinda Magruder. Going back to them for a moment--we have more information from the Candler side about the Magruders. In their family history, they have recorded that "Verlinda Magruder's family came from a marriage of the Macgregor and Campbell clans in Scotland. Their family line is traced through the Scottish and Irish Kings and back through the biblical lineages all the way to Adam and Eve." (CARROLL GENEALOGICAL QUARTERLY FALL WINTER 1981). Samuel Candler first came to Villa Rica, Georgia in 1830 when he became a representative of a British mining company interested in gold mining in the area. ("Villa Rica means "City of Gold".) But he later moved on to Cherokee County where new gold was being discovered. Samuel Chandler was the first Representative from Cherokee County. It was actually in Cherokee County, Georgia where Samuel met and married Martha Bernetta Beall--she was a direct descendant of Ninian Beall ; she was a descendant of John Beall and Virlinda Magruder. Samuel and Martha Beall Candler later moved to Carroll County, Ga. where they raised what has been called by some "the most outstanding family ever produced in the state of Georgia." Their children were: THESE ARE CANDLERS---NOT BEALLS 1. Milton Anthony Candler, 1837-1909, Atlanta attorney, m. Elizabeth Murphey 2. Ezekiel S. Candler, 1838-1915, Mississippi attorney, m. Julia Bevill 3. Noble David Candler, incapacitated by illness,1840-1887, did not marry 4. Florence Julia Candler, 1842-1946 m. W.H. Harris 5. Sarah Justina Candler, 1845-1921 m. Joseph J. Willard 6.

Warren Akin Candler, Methodist Bishop, 1857-1941, m. Sarah Cutright 11. John Slaughter Candler, Judge State Supreme Court, 1861-1941 m. Marguerite Garnier It is said that Martha Beall Candler never weighed more than 100 pounds in her entire life, but that in spite of that fact, she was always "the strength of the family." She devoted her whole life to the care and training of her children. Samuel Candler was a strong man who devoted most of his life to business affairs. He also served as a State Representative and Senator from Carroll County, Ga. He was a large land owner, farmer, merchant, land developer, gold miner, and built up a considerable fortune before the Civil War. Samuel Candler died in 1873 and Martha Beall Candler in 1897. There will be more posted on the descendants of Samuel and Martha Beall Candler--some of their descendants intermarried with the Cobb family of Carroll County.	Beall, Josiah (I11099)
464	Thomas was the "member of an influential family of Virginia Co." who was a Burgess in 1769. On a granite bolder at the Capitol of Williamsburg, VA, the following inscription was discovered in 1909: "Members of the House of Burgesses met at the Raleigh Tavern, May 18, 1769, and May 27, 1774, and August 1774, and entered into associations against the importation or purchase of British manufacturers". Names include Thomas Glascock. (Note: I visited Williamsburg in 2003 and photographed the boulder that presently stands in the Capitol yard. There was no Thomas Glascock mentioned.

England & Wales, National Probate Calendar (Index of Wills and Administrations), 1858-1966 for William Mordecai: 1872, Sept. 24: - The Will of William Mordecai late of Effail-yr-Hwpper in the parish of Lamblethian in the county of Glamorgan who died 13 Aug. 1872 in Effail-yr-Hwpper was proved at Landaff by Abraham Mordecai of Effail-yr-Hwpper Shoemaker the son the sole executor. Thomas Mordecai aged 71 was buried at Ramoth Chapel, Bridgend on 4th May 1879 (son of William). Perhaps the following newspaper article shows what William was worried about: The Central Glamorgan Gazette – Friday, May 9, 1879 SUICIDE AT LLANBLETHIAN On Sunday, an aged man named Thomas Mordecai, living at Llanblethian, was discovered by his daughter hanging by the neck from a beam in the stable adjoining the house. The unfortunate man had been in a low state for some time and took advantage of his wife’s absence at church to destroy himself. On Tuesday an inquest was held before Mr Reece, coroner. Mary Mordecai, of Llanblethian, daughter of the deceased, deposed: Thomas Mordecai was my father; he was a labourer, 71 years of age. He had not been well for the last eight months; he had appeared very low; he had not threatened to kill himself lately; but some years ago he used to threaten to do so, and my mother used to watch him. I last saw him alive at ten minutes to twelve o’clock on Sunday last in the daytime. He was then in the house and seemed more cheerful that morning than usual. I asked him to go as far as the pig stye to see if the pig had victuals, he went out and came back afterwards and walked in the yard at the back of the house. About ten minutes afterwards I went to the stable to get some coals, and I saw him hanging to a beam behind the stable door by a piece of rope. I ran at once to a neighbour, Mr Gifford at once came and cut him down. Jeremiah Jennings, sergeant of police, said on Sunday last I passed the house of the deceased at about ten minutes to twelve o’clock; about a quarter of an hour afterwards I was called back by a neighbour of the deceased’s and I went back and into the stable with Nathaniel Gifford and there I saw the deceased hanging to a beam by a thick piece of rope which was put round the beam in the stable, he had reached the beam by getting on a ladder which was close by. I cut him down at once, he was quite dead.

469	Tregaron was in Cardiganshire before 1974, after which the county became known as Dyfed until 1996. In 1996 it became known as the county of Ceredigion. Back in early 1999, B. Franklin Reinauer III sent a letter stating: "While on a trip to London, I located Derlwyn (the property owned by Phillip S(h)elby in Tregaron Parish, Dyfed, Wales on an Ordinance Map. There is a footpath leading from Tregaron across the Valley of the Afon Teifi over a footbridge to Derlwyn..." on the map it shows Derlwyn just NW of Tregaron...Then a bit later in the year, I heard from a person, who either didn't know what they were tallking about, or was pulling leg! Said they had been to the library in Aberystwyth and had looked at the records ..... This person said the Shelby homestead was located precisely at the valley where the two rivers, the Croes and the Berwyn meet, within walking distance of Tregaron. (Source: Judith Trolinger-2003) The below is from a Shelby Genealogical Mailing List which I am on: "Dear Judy, Although I do not have my materials "out" right now, I was in Tregaron several years ago. I visited both the sites you mentioned, and my impression then was that there were two Shelby farms near Tregaron. The Derlyn one is now a modern farm, and there was an older farmhouse that has been torn down. We drove to this place by passing the footpath and getting to a road that led up to the farm. The lady who owns the farm with her husband was most cordial, but didn't know the history of the farm. It is certainly Derlyn and still carries that name. The other place at the meeting of the two rivers we could see, but did not have exact enough information to find the place. Derlyn is up on a hill looking down on the river, a beautiful setting and a prosperous farm. The other place lies in the valley, and there are quite a few houses in the area now. The man who owns Derlyn might be a good source of information about the farm if he was home -- I understood it had been in his family for some length of time. Nobody that we talked to had any recollection of the Shelbys. There is a bed and breadfast right near the turn off road that leads up to Derlyn Just past the bridge (which is old, but was nevertheless built after our family left Wales.) It turned out to be quite busy even in Tregaron in the summer time and also the fall. The area is remote and old fashioned. We heard quite a lot of Welsh spoken, and that was interesting. Kay Kitzmiller" On June 17th, 2004 I went to Tregaron, Wales and found the location of the point where the Croes and the Berwyn meet. There is in fact a footpath leading there and, although there is no evidence of a building there, I believe that was the location of the old homestead of the Shelby's. (MCM-2004) 28 Aug 2001--Ron Shelby sent a copy of the original Baptismal record for Evan Shelby Sr-found in the records in the National Library of Wales. Father's name, Selby Phillip From Ron Shelby-Sept 2001 "Selby was buried in the local church yard on 26 June, 1731, and his name is recorded as "Shelby Phillip" at this time. This is a very clear record..Unfortunately, the graveyard filled up early in the 19th century, and all the pre 1800 gravestones were removed. There appears to be no chance to find the exact burial site of Phillip or his headstone. So, while Philip is definitely Evan's father, his own origin is still a mystery. The fact that he was buried as a "Shelby" by the village priest was a surprise to me." (Courtesy of: Judy Trolinger) "When she drove my mother and me to the Shelby homestead site I admit being somewhat skeptical that it was the true location. But I later confirmed the facts with Rev. Davis by going through the parish records. When Evan senior married Catherine Davies, the records (written in Latin) clearly state that he was a yeoman (farm-owner) of the parcel of land at themeeting of the Croes and Berwyn rivers." (Source: lisa.mormon@which.net) In the St. Caron's burial record Philip Selby was said to be of Derllwyn, Irecefel township, Parish of Caronuwch-Clawdd, Co. Cardigan. (Wales)	Selby, Philip (I3928)

(Indian leases). One tract appears to have been in the Westinghouse Blvd and hwy 160 area (around Armour’s creek and on a path from Armour’s ford. Today this is Wither’s Cove and the area around the Westinghouse plant back to Hwy 160.) He received a patent on this land in 1763 and sold it to Samuel McRum in 1769. He also owned property near the intersection of York Rd. & Hwy 160. (Not to be confused with the Dr. John Knox who purchased that property in the late 1800s. That John Knox was from Chester, SC.) It appears that at one time, he also owned property near the end of Youngblood Road adjoining the Bigger property. Bigger owned land on both sides of the Catawba River and appears to have had the 1st ferry which today would have been near the end of Youngblood Rd. and the Red Fez Club. The Mason family also owned property on both sides of the River in the early 1800s when the Bigger’s ferry became known as the Mason’s Ferry.

There are indications that William used his relatives Home in Cecil Co., MD as a 'Home away from Home' conducting activities in town in varying directions, returning 'Home' in between. William's diary also contains a section that was evidently kept by his father, Hezekiah, that records transactions from 1770 to 1778. William's role in the war effort, delivering provisions and rations to local companies in 1777, is also clearly stated. It seems he served in The war as a supplier and wagon master, an extension of his earlier peacetime activities. William was married three times, though he waited until after he was 30 before he did so. Little else is known of William. His will was recorded on Jan 15 1827 in The Court of Pleas and Quarter sessions of Cabbarrus County, NC. When William Sample Alexander, son of Hezekiah and Mary Sample journeyed back to Cecil Co. on a business trip in 1776, he mentioned his uncle "Amos and Aunt Sarah' and sold deer skins at Appleton crossroads for 6 shillings and 4 Pence each. On June 1, 1776,he went to his cousin Walter Alexander's Home to attend a muster of men Walter did soon lead into The American Revolution. On June 3 he visited The town of 'Head of Elk', modern Elkton, with Walter but returned, probably later that day. After attending services at Head of Christiana Church on June 4, William spent the day with Walter. However, on The 5th he stayed with Uncle Amos, but left on the 6th to go to Newark where he visited James Black, Joseph England, and one of the leaders of the community, Robert Kirkwood. He visited George Alexander, son of Theopilus on June 9, and returned to Amos Alexander's on Saturday, June 16, but continued to Head of Elk to attend a muster, presumably of Walter Alexander's company. During the Revolutionary War, Walter was a leader of a patriot guerrilla group who continuously raided and harassed British and their Tory Allies. History of Alexanders, says: 'Capt.William Sample, commonly found as William S., and known as 'White Billy', lived in the Rocky River section. The records of the Rocky River Presbyterian Church give the death of William S. Alexander as of Oct 20 1826 aged 70 Years thus he was born in 1756.

However, keeping in mind the variant spellings of the name, I would accept the preponderence of evidence that he was the Cornelius Daubeny christened 11 Dec. 1631, the son of Theodor Daubney, town parish of Bucknall," Lincolnshire, England (Bishops Transcripts of Bucknall). Theodor Dawbney was christened 6 June 1606, the son of John Daubney, town parish of Scotter,Lincolnshire (Lincolnshire IGI, p. 6215). According to the Lincolnshire archivist (e-mailed to me on March 6. 1997), "it is highly likely" that Theodor was the son of "John Dawbney, born Scotter 1570, an alumnus of Cambridge University (St. John's College 1588), Vicar of Calverton, Nottinghamshire, and Rector of Scotter, Lincolnshire 1605-1610" (J. Venn, Alumni Cantabrigiensis, Part 1. From the Earliest Times to 1751, Vol. II (Fabbs-Juxton), 1922, p. 18). Theodor Dawbney married Dorothy Batts (Batte?) on 30 April 1630 (Bishops Transcripts of Bucknall). It is significant that Cornelius Dabney, the first in Virginia, named two daughters "Dorothy," presumably for his mother (see below). Unfortunately, no wills are extant for John, Theodor, and Cornelius Dawbney (Dabney). Cornelius Debany (Dabony) was granted 200 acres in New Kent County, Virginia on 27 Sept. 1664 beg, at the mouth of Totopotomoys Cr. Upon the S. side of Yorke Riv., etc. (Patent Book #5, p. 406); 640 acres upon the lower side of Tottopotomoys Cr. etc. on 7 June 1666 (Patent Book # 5, p.625), and 100 acres on south side Yorke Riv. Above Totopotomoyes Cr. beg. at the mouth of same on 16 Mar. 1667/8 (Patent Book #6, p.114; Cavaliers and Pioneers by Nell Nugent, Vol. 1, pp. 515 and 559, and Vol. 2, p. 31).This land is now in Hanover County. In 1679 the Pamunkey Indians leased for 99 years "six or seven hundred acres" to Cornelius Dabney (English Duplicates of Lost Virginia Records, compiled by Louis des Cognets, Jr., p. 58). In Sainsbury's Abstracts of Colonial State Papers, in the Public Records Office in London, there are two letters from Cornelius Dabney, the "Interpreter to the Queen of Pamunkey." The first is a state letter from the Queen of the Pamunkeys translated by Cornelius Dabney in his official capacity and transmitted to Colonel Francis Moryson of the Royal Commission of Virginia. The second is a personal letter to Colonel Moryson, dated Virginia, Jun ye 29th, 1678, in which Cornelius Dabney concluded: "...Sr. my wife Eedeth has her humble service p'sented unto y' Hono'. (she) would gladly send y' one of her Boyes a yeare or two hence.My humble service to y' Hono'. I am: Sr: y' Hono's most humble servant in all obedience. Cornelius Dabney." (Charles William Dabney, "The Origin of the Dabney Family of Virginia," Va. Mag. of History and Biography, April 1937, Vol. 45, No. 2, p. 134). On 22 May 1686, Mr. Cornelius Dabnee was listed as a vestryman of St. Peter's Parish Church, New Kent. He died between 23 October 1693 and 1 May 1694 (Vestry Book and Register of St. Peter's Parish, New Kent and James City Counties, Virginia 1684-1786, transcribed and edited by C. G. Chamberlayne (Richmond: The Library Board, 1937, pp. 4, 40, 43)). In 1699 his children "James Dabney, Geo. Dabney, Dorothy Dabney, and Sarah Dabney (were) devisees of Cornelius Dabney dec'd (of) 700 acres to which is added of Low Land thereto adjoining 150 acres" in Pamunkey Neck.(Louis des Cognets, Jr., English Duplicates of Lost Virginia Records, p.59).

Baptism on 11 Nov. 1698 of Eliz. daughter of Geo. Dabney (Page 349). Baptism on 8 Jan. 1698/9 of Welthan daughter of James Dabney (Page 350).James Dabney had married Ann, daughter of Philip Sherwood of Rappahanock Co. (Essex Co. Book 8, p. 279, April 1690). In Old New Kent County, Vol. 2, p. 883, Dr. Malcolm Hart Harris reported that after the death of his first wife Eedeth, Cornelius Dabney married Susanah, whose second husband was David Anderson. In her will dated 5 February 1724 (Hanover County Will Book 1, 1862-1868, Reel 1, pp. 632-634, Virginia State Library), Susanah Dabney-Anderson named her children: Cornelius Dabney, the executor of her will. He married Sarah Jennings on 17 April 1721 (Virginia Marriage Records, by Wm. M. Clemons, Virginia State Library). His will was proved on 7 Feb. 1765 in which he named his wife Sarah and children William, John, Cornelius (deceased), Mary Elizabeth Maupin, Fanny Maupin, and Anna Thompson (Hanover County Will Book 1, 1862-1868, Reel 1, beginning page 634, Virginia State Library).An executor of his will was his second son, John Dabney, who became a Brigadier General in the Revolutionary War. Dorothy, wife of James Trice. Therefore, Cornelius Dabney named two daughters Dorothy, presumably for his mother Dorothy (Batts) Dabney. (His first daughter by Eedeth named Dorothy married William Anderson and may have died before this second daughter Dorothy by Susanah was born). Mary, wife of Capt. Thomas Carr. They were the grandparents of Dabney Carr, who married Martha, sister of Thomas Jefferson (Old New Kent County, by Dr. Malcolm Hart Harris, Vol. 2. pp. 956-957). David Anderson.

His first appearance in records in New Kent county, Virginia, as early as 1679. This was when a Thomas Kemp came to the colonies. This section of Virginia is now King and Queen County. He was brought here along with four other persons by John Joy who gained 220 acres for his efforts on 23 Sept 1683. Russ Williams believes he was not an indentured servant when he came here because he built up such a sizeable land holding by 1687. [Williams. p.5] As a large farmer he probably made many trips to Jamestown where Catherine Barron was born in 1672. Her father, Andrew Barron lived near Jamestown which was also still a very small community.
