    Notes:

    Transcription of names and birth dates in Avery Mustain's Bible. Noteworthy here is the inclusion of his daughter Saludy and his son Sherwood, who are not mentioned in Avery's will. Saludy had married, moved to Ohio, and possibly died (1827) before Avery's will was recorded on 21 April 1829. The Bible record is also the only record that lists Sherwood Mustain. In many ancestry trees Sherwood's date of death is listed as the date of Avery's will because he is not mentioned in the will. For that reason Sherwood's date of death is listed as "before" 21 April 1829.

    List of Birth Dates for Avery Mustain’s Children from his 1801 Bible.
    Background – This record was written on the inside cover of Avery Mustain's 1801 bible and submitted as part of his Revolutionary War pension application. It helped establish that he was married to Mary and that as his widow she would be eligible for a pension payment. The record lists (1) his children and (2) his grandchildren through his oldest daughter, Saludy. Clark H. Moore is the grandson mentioned in Avery's will as Clark Mustain. Based on Clark’s birth in 1807 and Saludy's age, she is the only one of Avery’s children who could be the mother. Saludy didn't marry Samuel Dalton until 1809, two years after Clark was born. Clark's father remains unknown, or whether he married Saludy (or died soon after conceiving Clark), but there were Moores living in Pittsylvania County at the time.

    Mustain family researchers and local history buffs believe that Jesse's house was built by his father, Thomas Mustain. In her book Tracks Along the Staunton, Diane Popek states: "Around 1750 Thomas Mustain, on the original grant by King George II of England, built a rock-wall house, a landmark of Pittsylvania County ." We believe that this rock-wall house built in 1750 was the first floor of our home. Thomas went on to built a larger home (timber frame with an English basement that is on his original land grant and on what is now Telegraph Road) and that his son, Jesse, went on to add the other two floors in the 1770's when he came of age, married, and began his family.

    Thomas Mustain was listed among the local tithables of 1750. At a Court held for Halifax County, May 1752, it was ordered that Thomas Mustain, Joseph Ironmonger, George Whiffon and Daniel Smith do appraise the estate of Isaac Cloud, deceased. His land grant was signed by Royal Governor Dinwiddie and drawn up on the 29th day of November 1756. This was an original crown Grant made by King George II in the thirtieth year of his reign for 400 acres for the tidy sum of forty shillings. In 1767 Thomas appears on the list of tithables taken by John Donelson in Pittsylvania County's first tax list. In 1769 the vestry of Camden Parish planned to build a church "near Thomas Mustain's."

    Thomas Mustain was born about 1725 in VA and died 1791 in Pittsylvania County, VA. He married Mary (probable maiden name Haley) about 1748. He and Mary had the following children:

    Jesse - born @1749 Pittsylvania County, VA; married Jenny @1776 and married #2 Polly Brewis, daughter of Robert Brewis, on June 11, 1793 in Pittsylvania County, VA; died 1794 Pittsylvania County, VA
    Rebecca -
    Molly - married John Paterson on June 30, 1794
    Mary Ann -
    Sally - born @1767; married Price Skinner on June 30, 1794
    Avery - born February 26, 1756; married Mary "Polly" Shelton Barber on March 17, 1780; died August 31, 1833 in Pittsylvania County, VA.
    Anna - Married William Buckner @1768 and married #2 Jeremiah Buckner on September 9, 1782 in Pittsylvania County, VA; died in Kentucky
    Milly - Born @1755; married Jesse Keesee; died August 1838 in VA
    Tabitha - married James Bruce on February 13, 1782 in Halifax County, VA.
    Winifred - married Zachariah Lewis
    Saludy - born 1772 in Pittsylvania County, VA; married Claiborn Shelton on May 16, 1785; died 1812 at Chimney Rock, OH

    Jesse Mustain had the following children:
    Thomas - born @1777; married Martha Irby on November 19, 1801; died October 29, 1814 in Charles County, VA
    Priscilla - born January 6, 1778; married William Shelton in December 1798
    Jesse - married Tabitha Hicks
    John - born September 6, 1782; married Elizabeth Legrand Glenn on January 11, 1829; died March 1, 1869 in Blandinsville, IL
    Susanna - born @1785; married Walker Goodwin
    James W - born @1787; married Sarah Shelton; died June 18, 1850
    Winifred - never married and served as overseer of the poor of Camden Parish
    Tabitha - married Meredith Jennings on Dec 14, 1807

    In 1777, Thomas Mustain and both of his sons, Jesse and Avery Mustain, are listed as having taken the Oath of Allegiance while serving in Captain Crispin Shelton's Company in the defense of Virginia during the revolution.

    Pittsylvania Country courts records mention Jesse more than once. On September 21, 1779 he was recorded as being severely in debt to the Commonwealth of Virginia. In October of 1782 a case was dismissed in which he was accused of misconduct.

    Prior to 1782 Jesse had already set up housekeeping with his (already large family) separate from his father. Jesse is listed on the 1782 Heads of Households with 8 white souls. His father, Thomas, is listed with 7 white souls. The first census of the United States taken in 1785 lists Jesse Mustain with 9 white souls, 1 dwelling, and 3 other buildings. Thomas is listed with 4 white souls, 1 dwelling, and 4 other buildings. Jesse's younger brother, Avery, is listed with 4 white souls, no dwelling and no other buildings. (Avery built his home in 1788 - date is on north cornice of house - on Whitethorn Creek.)

    On November 6, 1791, Thomas Mustain, "being weak in body," wrote his will:
    To my beloved wife Mary Mustain, a sufficient maintenance suitable to her circumstance, as long as she remains a widow; To my son Jesse, 200 acres to be taken off the upper end of the tract that I now live on: Beginning at the upper N corner and running down the N line onto the S line, making his complement; The balance of the tract of land I live on to be sold to the highest bidder giving 18 months credit; To daughters, Rebecca and Molly, twenty shillings each; To daughters Mary Ann and Sally, ten pounds each;
    To son Avery Mustain and daughters Anna Buckner, Milly Keesee, Tabetha Bruce, Winney Lewis, and Saludy Shelton one equal part of the money from the sale of the land; To Thomas Mustain, son of Jesse Mustain and his wife Jenny, has promised to live with me and my wife during our lives for which I give and bequeath unto the said Thomas Mustain a tract of land on both sides of Mayes Creek, 170 acres, and 1/3 of my moveable property; The balance of my moveable property to be divided among my last six named children. I appoint son, Jesse Mustain, and Joel Shelton executors.

    Signed by Thomas Mustain (with his X). Witnessed by Frances Irby, Nathaniel Farris, and Griffith Dickinson. Vincent Shelton and Charles Lewis, Jr. gave security for the executors. This will was entered into court on November 21, 1791.

    Unfortunately, it was not long before Jesse died. Family lore says he fell from his horse while intoxicated. On June 1, 1795, Polly Mustain, widow of Jesse, mortgaged her dower of 66 2/3 acres to Samuel and David Pannill for thirty pounds. On August 21, 1797, Jesse's son Thomas was made legal guardian to Jesse's minor children. Also in 1797, the whole plantation, including Polly's dower, was sold to Benjamin Gosney and passed out of the Mustain family.

    In 1817, Gosney sold the property to Richard Whitehead for $2,840. When Whitehead bought roughly the other half of the Mustain tract in 1811, he had, in effect, the land to which Thomas Mustain was given patent by George II. Around 1836, Richard Whitehead made structural changes to the house: moving the south and north doors (front and back) on the 2nd floor, as well as adding a wall to make a center hallway corresponding to the new placement of doors. Richard and his wife, Pency, were buried together near the house, but in 1934 they were removed to Chatham, VA.
