Notes:

Brothers George and Calvin Moore appear to have run most of the family livery business during the Civil War. In the early part of the war George and Thornton stayed in Danville. Calvin came home from the war in June 1863. Both George and Calvin conducted extensive transactions related to the business. Calvin appears to have worked mainly as a stage driver, while George traded, boarded, and rented horses. He owned a number of wagons, carriages, and buggies as well. Since they were in Danville, a good amount of livery and stage business was conducted with the Confederate Army. Surviving Confederate invoices are either signed by or refer to Major William T Sutherlin, the Army's Quartermaster in Danville during the war. After the fall of Richmond the government relocated to Danville. Sutherlin opened his home to Davis and his cabinet during the week which led to Appomattox. Danville became known as the Last Capital of the Confederacy.

The entire family, including 7 brothers and their families, worked the livery as of the 1860 census. 5 of the 7 brothers enlisted in the 18th Virginia Infantry Regiment on April 23, 1861.

They fought in battles at Brandywine and Germantown in Pennsylvania. Later, Isaac Wade enlisted in the Bedford County, Virginia, militia, which was called-up in August 1781 to go to Little York for the planned battle with Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown. There he witnessed the surrender of the British to generals Washington and Lafayette. He was discharged from the militia on the battlefield, immediately after the victory in October 1781.

JACOB WADE, “LATE SOLDIER OF THE CONTINENTAL LINE”

Bedford Co., VA, Court Order Book 22, 1828-1829, p. 203, recorded information that Elizabeth Wade who died before 1877, “was the daughter and only heir of Jacob Wade late soldier of the Continental Line” in the American Revolution. Elizabeth was the wife of EPHRAIM BONDURANT (abt. 1790 - 1877) of Bedford Co., VA. Ephraim is believed to be one of the children of John Bondurant and Martha ? who moved from Buckingham Co. to Bedford Co., VA, about the time of the Revolution. This John may have been the baby son of John and Sarah R. Taylor Bondurant, who was baptized in King William Parish in 1737, Goochland Co., VA. The Bedford Co. document would qualify descendants of Elizabeth and Ephraim for membership in SAR or DAR, based on Jacob Wade’s service.

John Peter Bondurant [Sr.] was born circa 1710 in King William Parish, Goochland Co., Virginia., He married Sarah Rachael Moseley about 1729 or 1736. John died circa 1774 in Buckingham Co., Virginia.

John Peter Bondurant was listed as a vestryman in King William Parish in 1748. He is first mentioned in his father's will in 1734. John and his wife Sarah lived in Goochland County, Virginia, and later in Cumberland County. He deeded 200 acres of land to his son, John Peter III of Albemarle County, on 9 March 1758.

Sarah was the widow of Robert L Moseley. The Bondurant Family Association Newsletter reprinting information from The Huguenot Magazine, Vol 25, page 173 gives the marriage date as 1836 but indicates date and place not proved.

Grinnell, in his manuscript, indicates that John died in Manakin in 1744. A pedigree chart in The Huguenot, Publication No. 30, submitted by Mary V Bondurant Epling, indicates that John died about 1744 in Buckingham County, but before 1776, and that his death was recorded in Powhatten County. A GEDCOM received from Ruby Talley Smith indicated he died in 1774.

2 Apr 1752: Jeremiah sold land adjoining Pearce Wade to David Wade. Witnesses: Pearce Wade, James George, and Christly Daniel.[7]
2 Jul 1752: Jeremiah sold the parcel bought from Charles Rayley to David Siser. The land was now in Cumberland County, while Jeremiah was described as being of Albemarle County. Witnesses: Tarleton Woodson Junior, Ben Watkins Junior, Stephen Tampton Junior, Drury Woodson, and Thomas Pleasants.[8]
2 Jul 1763: Along with Pearce Wade and Richard and Joseph Ballenger, Jeremiah sold 800 acres, part of a grant of 2,000 acres, on the south side of the Buffalo River under the Tobacco Mountains in Amherst County, VA to George Seaton.[9] Originally granted to Richard and Joseph, 400 acres each had been granted by them to Jeremiah and Pearce.
20 Aug 1768: Jeremiah sold 114 acres on the top of Smith's Mountain adjoining Joseph Ballenger and William Cabell to Joseph Ballinger for £10. On the same day, he sold 378 acres on the headwaters of Thrasher's and Franklin Creeks to John Parks. This second conveyance was witnessed by Matthew Tucker, Drury Tucker, and Joseph Ballenger.[10] Jeremiah was described as being of St. Ann's Parish.
According to William Scroggins, Jeremiah sold three slaves to Hector McAllister, but the date wasn't available to him. He also reports that, along with Neil Campbell "and others", he sold 400 acres on Rockfish Creek to George Donald and Company.[11] Could the latter have been a trust deed? Neil Campbell's mistress, Tabitha Ballowe later married Joseph Ballenger.
17 Feb 1772: Jeremiah Wade Senior sold 378 acres in the fork of the James River adjoining Matthew Tucker, Drury Tucker and Lacy Sine in Albemarle to Richard Bennett.[12]
8 Jul 1772: Jeremiah made his will in Bedford County, VA, naming executors Richard Ballenger and James and Nathan Hilton. In it, he left his estate was to be equally divided among his children, but he made no mention of a wife, thus Charity must have predeceased him. Witnesses: Abraham Ervine, Jesse Hilton, and Elizabeth Mitchell. It was proved 28 Sep 1772, with Guy Smith serving as security for James Hilton. Executor Hilton made his inventory and appraisal on 10 Oct 1772.[13] Jesse Hilton had been surety for the marriage daughter Mary Ballenger Wade to Whitehead Ryan.

Notes:

According to an old family Bible William Sandefur was born October 14, 1707. He moved to West Edgecombe County, NC which is now Nash County, with his Arrington kin. He married Mary Tompkins.

Their children were: Martha, Mary, William, Patsy, Ann, Hill, Samuel and Tompkins. In his will, recorded in Southampton Co., Virginia in 1755 he mentioned only his wife, sons Hill, Samuel and the name of Tompkins, a posthumous child. The daughters were not mentioned but are listed in the will of their grandfather, Samuel Tompkins in 1763. Accoring to the Edgecombe Court Minutes in 1772, William Sandifur was appointed administrator of Hill Sandifur decd.

The name Sandefur also appears as Sandiford and Sandifor.

Sandifer Excursus: This name appears as Sandifird and Sandifor. Mary Sandefur, wife of Arthur Arrington was daughter of William Sandifur of Southampton Co Va, and his wife Mary, daughter of Samuel Tompkins whose will was probated in Southampton in 1763, Will Book 2-19. Samuel Tompkins was born in York Co Va 6-19-1696. Through parish records of Charles River and York Hampton Parishes, the Tompkins family can be traced back to one Humphrey Tompkins who was in York Co by 1635. (Wm and Mary College Quarterly, Series 1 & 2 16-26). He is probably the same Humphrey Tompkins who was alloweed a bill of adventure due him from a five shilling lottery 1-12-1619. (Records of the Virginia Company, vol1 p295). According to the old family bible of William Sandefur he was born 10-14-1707 and his wife Mary 2-12-1719. Their children were Martha b 9-18-1738, Mary b 9-29-1741, William b 10-14-1743, Patsy b 1-9-1745, Ann b 4-1-1753, and Tompkins b Sep 1755. The entries for Hill and Samuel Sandefur were illegible. The will of William Sandefur was recorded in Southampton Co Va 1755, and mentioned only his wife, sons Hill, Samuel, Williams and posthumous child. This child was given the mother's name of Tompkins, The daughters were not mentioned in the will but are listed in the will of their grandfather Samuel Tomkpins in 1763. Mary Tompkins, widow of William Sandefur, m 2 Benjamin Hasty and had Benjamin b 1758 and Mary b 1762 m Joseph Vick. The Sandefurs moved to western Edgecombe (later Nash) with their Arrington kindred. According to Edgecombe Court Minutes in 1772, William Sandefur was appointed administrator of Hill Sandifur dec'd. The will of Tompkins Sandifur was recorded in Nash Co 1783, mentioning his children and brother in law Arthur Arrington.

Died:
William's estate was appraised by Arthur Arrington, Joseph Vasser and Richard Pond and recorded on 11 Dec. 1755. Signed by Mary Sandefur.

William married Mary Elizabeth Tompkins in 1736 in , Elizabeth City, Virginia, USA. Mary (daughter of Samuel Tompkins and Martha Powers) was born on 12 Feb 1719 in Yorktown, York, Virginia, USA; died on 9 Mar 1782 in , Southampton, Virginia, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

James married Elizabeth Bennett. Elizabeth was born in 1717 in , Isle of Wight, Virginia, USA; died in , Isle of Wight, Virginia, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Jean Pierre Bondurant was born on 18 July 1677 in Génolhac, Gard, France. He married Ann Tanner, daughter of Edward Tanner [Sr.] and Mary Hatcher, circa 1708 in Manakin Town, Virginia. Jean died before 25 January 1734/35 in Manakin Town, Virginia. Jean was also known as John Peter. He was first baptised a Huguenot, then at the age of seven rebaptised Catholic in order to preserve his right to inherit family property. With the Revocation both of his parents, and his grandfather and step-grandmother renounced their Huguenot faith and were "newly converted" Catholics.

Jean Pierre was orphaned in 1695 and left in the guardianship of his cousin, Andre Bondurant, who was an apothecary and also the mayor of Génolhac. In September 1697, with Andre's consent, Jean Pierre's property, the mills at l'Aribal and Calquières inherited from his parents, were sold. Jean Pierre left France and arrived in Aarau, Switzerland in February 1697/98 where he joined his maternal uncle, Guillaume Barjon, Pastor of the Huguenot refugee Church there. On October 3, 1697, Jean Pierre recanted the Catholic faith and became a Huguenot again.

The following is recorded in the congregational record:
The 3rd of October 1697, Seigneur Jean Pierre Bondurant, apothecary, presented himself in front of us, claiming that he was extremely affected by the fault he committed in his youth, which was to attend the worship of the Roman [Catholic] Church; showing his repentance by asking God to forgive this sin and after he claimed that he would live and die in our Holy Religion, he was admitted into the peace of the Church and to participate in the Holy Sacraments.
He signed this present deed along with us: Henry Malbois and Pierre Brochet, both hat makers who took refuge in the town of Aarau, and undersigned by myself:
[signed by]
Barjon
refugee Pastor
JP Bondurant
Henry Malbois
Brochet4

Because Jean Pierre had left France with money from the sale of his mills, he did not appear on the Swiss charity records as did the Barjons and most refugee Huguenots. Being financially independent also shielded him from scrutiny and perhaps enabled him to buy his first land when he later went to Virginia. He was listed as a "fugitive from the Kingdom because of religion" in 1712. This late date is not significant, as such listings were normallly late; and his father's cousin was Consul General in charge of the listings.

In 1699, in the company of Pastor Barjon and other refugees, he went to Karlshafen, Germany. There is no record of his travel from Karlshafen to England, but he was among Huguenot refugees arriving at the mouth of the James River in Virginia on 20 September 1700 aboard the ship Ye Peter and Anthony which had sailed from England. This was the "second transport" of Huguenots from London. The immigrants were taken up the James River in smaller boats as far as the shoals (present day Richmond). They went overland to Manakin Town, where they joined the "first transport" settlers who had occupied a deserted Monacan Indian village near Fine Creek the previous year. Jean stayed with the colony until 1701 and then, as a single man, went elsewhere looking for more opportunity. He practiced medicine in Henrico County (part of which later became Goochland County) for many years.

Jean Pierre's grandfather was a Doctor of Law and was apparently successful. His father, Jean Pierre Bondurant, Sieur de Cougoussat, Advocate, did not seem to be as successful as he was in debt when he died. At one time, Jean Pierre, the immigrant, was forced to accept public assistance from the Church of Rome. He was apprenticed to his father's cousin, Andre, a Master Apothecary, where he learned enough medicine to be accounted a Doctor in the Colonies in Virginia.

In 1704, the Huguenot men petitioned to become citizens of the colony and by an act passed in 1705, they, including Jean Pierre, were granted citizenship by the Governor and House of Burgesses.

Jean Pierre obtained 200 acres of land on Old Town Creek, near present Matoaca, across the Appomattox River from Petersburg. He sold that on 29 Dec 1708 to John Wilson Sr., acknowledged in court 1 June 1709. In 1711 he registered a cattle mark with the Virginia governor. On March 24 he purchased, from the King of England, 400 acres on the south side of the James River located on Jones Creek and Matthews Branch in Henrico County, later part of Goochland County. In 1729, sons Peter and John were listed as tithables on this land, but the father does not appear on the tithables lists until 1730. This seems to indicate that the parents were living elsewhere and the sons had come ahead to prepare the new land. This land was divided among his sons in his will in 1734. Jean Peire was elected to the Vestry of King William Parish Church, but died before he could take office.

It is not known if he was married more than once and, if so, which children belong to each wife. A wife Ann, the mother of his son Peter, is mentioned in his will. Many researchers had thought that his wife was Ann Faure but this appears incorrect. She may have been Ann Tanner. The will of Mrs. Mary Tanner, Albermarle Co., Virginia, in the 1760s, left $1 to her daughter Ann Bondurant. Whether this is the widow of Jean Pierre has not been proven. Also, the marriage date cannot be confirmed. The date shown is given by some researchers but it has never been proven.

In 1990 the Bondurant Family Association erected a fence and placed a commemorative plaque at the posited graves of Jean Pierre and Ann Bondurant. The graveyard is located on Birdsong Lane (Road No. 1217) near Powhatan, in Powhatan County, Virginia. The plaque reads:
To the glory of God and in memory of Jean Pierre
Bondurant and his wife Ann. Born in Génolhac,
France 18 July 1677, Jean Pierre (John Peter)
Bondurant escaped to Switzerland in 1697, and
reached Jamestown with other Huguenots in 1700.
Trained as an apothecary, he practiced medicine
in Virginia where he married Ann. Members of
King William Parish. He died near Manakin
1734/35. Their five children were John, Peter,
Joseph, Ann and Frances.
Erected 1990 by descendants.

Jean made a will on 25 September 1734. The will of John Peter Bondurant, Gouchland County, Virginia:
In the name of God Amen, I John Peter Bondurant, being sick and weak by of good sound disposition mind and memory, all praise be given to God for it, and now minding to settle my worldly estate which it has please God to bestow upon me before I depart this life: I do make and appoint this my last will and testament in manner and form following:

Notes:

Timeline of Joseph Ballinger's Life

1691: Joseph Ballenger was born in Burlington County, NJ.[24] There are several researchers who have reservations regarding Joseph's parentage. They'd like more proof that he was the son of Henry and Mary Harding Ballenger and ask the quite relevant question: Where was he between 1710 and 1729?

1694: Charity Wade was born in New Jersey.[25] Her parents are not known by this researcher, but many have speculated that her father was James Wade and that Charity may have been the sister of Robert Wade, who also moved to Goochland County, VA. There is no doubt, that the Wades were Quakers. (William S. Scroggins has an excellent web site with information on the Wades at wgscroggins.kueber.us.)

Although Joseph was born and raised among the Society of Friends, he eventually became a member of the Church of England, the only sanctioned church of the Virginia Colony. There is no record, however, of his having been disowned by the Quakers, perhaps because, like so many others, he simply drifted away after moving to the Virginia frontier. Although some have reported that he became a minister in the Anglican Church, performing many marriages, this would seem unlikely. An Anglican vicar needed a divinity degree obtainable only in England, the major cause of the perpetual shortage of vicars in the Colonies. Far from having a divinity degree, Joseph signed his will with his mark. It would therefore make more historical sense if he had become a Baptist minister or an Anglican layman.[26] In any case, he may have become confused with his son Joseph who did perform marriages.
