JAMES GENN arrived in the colony of Virginia from England sometime after 1660 and established himself at Cherry Point on the Northern Neck. James Genn's place of birth and his residence before arriving in Virginia are still shrouded in some mystery. In Northumberland the name is sometimes spelled Genn, sometimes Ginn. It may have been Ginn rather than Genn when James left England. It is also possible that it was Jenn. Our most informative clue concerning James Genn's presence in Virginia comes from the will of Thomas Mathew, dated 6 May 1703, probated by Canterbury Court, London, 28 February 1706-7 and proved in Northumberland County, Virginia, 20 August 1712. It reads as follows:
I, Thomas Mathew, formerly of Cherry Point in the Parish of Bowtracy in the County of Northumberland in Virginia, Merchant, ... my body I desire may be buried and if I die in or about London as near to my dearly beloved son William as it can be had in the church of St.Dunstan's-in-the-East... From as for what remains real or personal... in the County of Northumberland, Cherry Point ... I bequeath one half ...to my dear son John... and the other half... to my dear children Thomas and Anna ... my loving Brother-in-Law Capt John Cralle and my old and faithful servant, James Genn and Mary his wife have manifested every great faithfulness and industry in the management of my affairs both whilst I dwell in Virginia and since I came thence I desire and will that my said brother Cralle and the said James Genn and his said wife may quietly remain and reside in and upon and in the peaceable posession of the houses and lands now in their respective tenures during their respective lives and I leave to all my children to be their heir gratefull ...1
Thomas Mathew seems to have arrived in Virginia sometime around 1660 to join his father, also Thomas Mathew. In February 1662 Thomas Mathew, Jr. witnessed a document for his father.2 A land claim in the name of Thomas Mathew, Sr. dated 20 October 1663 indicates that Thomas Mathew, Jr. had travelled to Virginia five times.3 The Will of Thomas Mathew, Jr. (above) discloses that James Genn managed the affairs of Thomas Mathew, Jr. since he arrived in Virginia. The will also established that Mary was the wife of James Genn. On the 18 February 1679/80, a certificate was granted to Mr. Tho. Mathew for 3800 acres of land for the transportation of 76 persons to Virginia.4 Among the names was a James Jenn, given that we are correctly interpreting the hand written original. Jenn may have become Genn after he arrived in Virginia.

The names of James Genn, Mary Genn and Thomas Genn would later be used as "head rights" in a land grant to George Eskridge dated 22 February 1704/5.5 Eskeridge may have obtained these head rights from the Mathews.

The Thomas Mathews', Sr. and Jr., professional endeavors include planter, rancher, merchant, manufacturer of agricultural implements, miller, captain, attorney, trustee, bondsman, justice and sheriff. It is not clear what aspects of the business was managed by James Genn but his bequest of life tennancy would suggest that he may have managed the plantation.

A most illustrious event in the life of Thomas Mathew began in July 1675 when Doeg Indians stole some of his hogs. English settlers avenged the event by killing some Indians. The Indians returned and killed Thomas Mathew's herdsman, Robert Henn and later returned and killed Thomas Mathew's son. The English settlers were outraged and avenged the killings by slaughtering more Doeg and Susquehannock Indians. The Indians retaliated with more attacks. Governor Sir William Berkeley made no attempt to protect the settlers so Nathaniel Bacon, Jr. was chosen by the settlers to lead an attack on the Indians; he proceeded to do this without a commission from the Governor. Nathaniel Bacon died in October 1676, ending the conflict; Governor Berkeley proceeded to hang all those that had supported him. In 1804, with the help of Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Mathew published, The Beginning, Progress, and Conclusion of Bacon's Rebellion, 1675-1676.6

A 1798 Plat of Cherry Point, included in an article on Thomas Mathew by J. Motley Booker, M.D.,7 identifies the land occupied by Cralle and Genn (in this case spelled Ginn). The plat identifies Ginn's Island Acres as the eastern end of Cherry Point, the present site of the village of Lewisetta. By rough measure Ginn's Island scales off to be about 300 acres. Capt John Cralle's land is shown to the south-west on the other side of Kingscote Creek. A sign at the present intersection of roads 624 and 625 reads "Cralle Cove, Private." One source reports that the land that Mathew left to Cralle was never reclaimed by Mathew's heirs but was included as part of Cralle's estate. The same may have happened to Ginn's Island.

James Mitchell, Birth: 1765 Carlisle Cumberland County Pennsylvania, USA
Death: Nov. 23, 1848 Xenia Greene County Ohio, USA
James Mitchell, second child and only known son of David and Margaret Mitchell was born not far from Carlisle, Pennsylvania in 1765;
was baptized by Rev. John Cutbertston, April 3, 1766, and was fourteen years of age when taken to Kentucky, in 1779.

Here, in the fort and in the field, he shared with his parents the hardships of pioneering. In 1783, though but eighteen years old, he was donated a lot in Lexington by the trustees.

He was married, October 9, 1794 to Martha Epsy by Rev. Adam Rankin, pastor of the Associate Reformed Church. They became Associate Prysbyterians (Seceders) when Rev Robert Armstrong became pastor.
Rev Armstrong was much beloved by them and for him they named their first-born son. James served in the War of 1812, was elected a member of the Pennsylvania legislature, and was a merchant, and cashier of Franklin Bank, Columbus, Ohio. He believed in exercising the voting power which is placed in the hands of the citizens of this country and makes each one a sharer in the responsibility for the character of the government. James was a bitter opposer to slavery. James contracted sciatic rheumatism and became unable to bend his legs. His chairs at home, his seat in church and his carriage were for that reason made doubly high; for he was also a large man over six feet in height. His complexion was reddish with sandy hair. James lived on his Clark's Run farm until his death. The final illness was "gravel".

Her husband was Colonel Robert Bolling who lived from 1646 to 1709. Robert and Jane had one son John Fairfax Bolling (1676–1729).

Pocahontas, who adopted the Christian name of Rebecca, [1] [2] married John Rolfe on April 5, 1614 in Jamestown. Rolfe's longtime friend, Reverend Richard Buck presided the wedding. [3] They had one child, Thomas Rolfe, who was born in Virginia on January 30, 1615.

Jane Rolfe was born in Varina, Henrico County, Virginia on October 10, 1650 [4] to Thomas Rolfe and his wife, Jane Poythress, whose parents were Francis Poythress and Alice Payton of England. [5] [6] [7]

In about 1675, Jane married Robert Bolling of Prince George County, Virginia. Their son John was born on January 27, 1676. Jane is said to have died shortly afterward. [4]

John Bolling married Mary Kennon, daughter of Richard Kennon and Elizabeth Worsham of Conjurer's Neck.[4] The couple had six surviving children, each of whom married and had surviving children. [8] As a result, many Americans are today able to claim descent from Pocahontas through her great-grandson, John Bolling.

Rolfe's interment was near her father in the Kippax Plantation, but her birth year was never engraved on her headstone.

Moore and Slatten traced the suggestion that his wife was a Poythress back to a comment by W. G. Stanard in "Abstracts of Virginia Land Patents", Virginia Historical Magazine(I, 1894, 446–447): "His wife is said to have been a Miss Poythress (if so, doubtless a daughter of Francis Poythress." According to Moore and Slatten, Stanard cited as evidence handwritten notes on the flyleaf of a copy of A Complete Collection of All the Laws of Virginia Now in Force Carefully Copied from the Assembled Records (London, 168[?], now in the Library of Virginia. Moore and Slatten state: "Interestingly, Thomas Rolfe here is recorded as married to a 'Miss Payers'. We recall that in John Rolfe's will the name of his third wife is spelt Pyers (Peirce) and that it was John who married a "Jane". Here again a Bolling descendant confused the son with his father. Not recognizing the name 'Payers' as another variant of Peirce, someone searched the records for a name beginning with 'P' and having a 'y' in the first syllable. Francis Poythress lived in adjacent Charles City County and his name ended in s! Stanard wrote, 'His wife is said to have been a Miss Poythress (if so, doubtless a daughter of Francis Poythress).' (VMHB I, 446) Wyndham Robertson, a Bolling descendant, wrote in Pocahontas Alias Mataoke and Her Descendants (Richmond, 1887), 'I adopt "Jane Poythress" (not "Poyers") whom he is stated in the Bolling Memoirs to have married in England.' He added in justification of his charming adoption of an ancestress, '...no such name as "Poyers" is anywhere known ... the family of Poythress was already settled in Virginia.' ... The result has been the acceptance of a non-existent personage, 'Jane Poythress', in the Bibles of Virginia genealogy, as the bona fide ancestress of many illustrious Virginians. Who the wife (or wives) of Thomas Rolfe may have been remains an unanswered question."

Jasper and Hans shipyard
Two Danes, Jasper Hanson and Hans M. Scove, established a shipyard in Manitowoc and built a number of vessels in the period 1870-1889, but the carpenters and mechanics who were building these vessels were nearly all Norwegians. One of these was Julius Johnson, foreman and expert spar
maker in the Hanson and Scove shipyard. He was a graduate of a navigation school in Norway, and after the panic of 1873 had created hard times for the shipbuilding industry, he was placed in command of the schooner "John Schuette," which he sailed for his employers, taking a cargo of deals
from Manitowoc to England. He sailed the vessel back to Wilmington, North Carolina, where he left it, and then returned to Manitowoc. As told elsewhere Captain William Lund of Milwaukee went to Wilmington and took charge of the vessel after Captain Johnson?s return. After sailing it to Riga, Russia, and other places, he finally brought it back to Chicago in September, 1879. The vessel was built by Hanson and Scove at their shipyard at Two Rivers, Wisconsin, where they were located before 1873. Another Norwegian in the employ of Hanson and Scove was Captain Christen Olson, born at Grimstad, Norway, in 1830. He came to America in 1854, settling in Manitowoc, where he served as shipbuilder, and later as superintendent in the Hanson and Scove shipyard. He was part owner of the schooner "Industry" and of the scow "Success". He married Miss
Maren Findahl, a sister of Mrs. O. Torrison of Manitowoc.
The following vessels were built at the Hanson and Scove yards: {88}

1871 schooner "K. L. Bruce" 34 tons capacity
1871 schooner "L. Meeker" 312 tons capacity
1871 schooner "C. Neilson" 315 tons capacity

1872 schooner "M. A. Muir" 347 tons capacity
1872 schooner "T. H. Howland" 299 tons capacity
1872 schooner "M. L. Higgie" 310 tons capacity
1873 schooner "Falmouth" 234 tons capacity
1873 schooner "H. M. Scove" 305 tons capacity

After 1873 they had their yard for some years at Two Rivers, where the following vessels were built:

1874 schooner "J. O. Thayer" 380 tons capacity
1874 schooner "Granger" 366 tons capacity
1874 schooner "Bertie Calkins" 256 tons capacity
1875 schooner "John Schuette" 289 tons capacity

In 1880 they were again operating their yard at Manitowoc, where they built the following ships:

1880 steamer "Daisy Day" 124 tons capacity
1880 schooner "H. O. Albrecht" 309 tons capacity
1881 schooner "Melitta" 83 tons capacity
1881 schooner "E. B. Maxwell" 360 tons capacity

Jean Guyon du Buisson, (1592 - 1663), was born at the Saint-Aubin parish in Tourouvre, Orne, France in 1592. Guyon was patriarch of "....one of the earliest French families to settle in (Nouvelle France), one of the most numerous in the beginning, one of the most respected and best known...."

Guyon made his living as a mason and was regarded as a "master mason of excellent reputation". In 1615, he finished the interior stone staircase of the church Saint-Aubin.
Arrival in Nouvelle France
Guyon and family emigrated to North America as part of the Percheron Immigration, a small group of families and some single men from the region of Perche, in the province of Normandy, brought over to Nouvelle France in 1634 to colonize new areas.
Jean de Lauzon, the Governor of New France, awarded a concession of land to Robert Giffard de Moncel, physician to the colony. Giffard, now Seigneurie of Beauport, recruited Guyon and other tradesmen to the new colony with the offer of 1,000 arpents of land with hunting and fishing rights in exchange for three years of service.

Guyon traveled aboard a convoy of four ships under the command of Charles Duplessis-Bochart and arrived in Nouvelle France in 1634. Guyon was awarded land in newly-established Beauport, one of the oldest European-founded communities in Canada (and now a borough of Quebec City). Under the seigneurial system, he received a rear fief (arrière fief) near rivière du Buisson (river of bushes). He attached its name to his own, Guyon du Buisson.
Guyon lived there until he died in 1663. He built a small mill and helped build the parish church of Québec city and the governor's residence.

For nine years, he and Zacharie Cloutier disputed Giffard's seigneural rights to receive foi et hommage (fealty and homage). Refusing to accept him as their superior, they did not stake their lands or pay him annual taxes. On July 19, 1646, the governor of the colony took action to force Cloutier and Guyon to comply with their contractual obligations. Such cases of censitaire refractoriness filled the time of the courts for the duration of the seigneurial system, both during the French regime and under the English.
His eldest son, also named Jean Guyon, married Élisabeth Couillard, granddaughter of Louis Hébert, the first French colonist established with his family in Nouvelle France. Their wedding was accompanied by the "....two violins...which had not been seen yet in Canada....”

After his death, his heirs engaged in a protracted legal dispute over his lands.

Descendants
Guyon fathered ten children, eight of whom married, and he is known to be an ancestor of many French Canadians. By 2006, news media noted that at least three out of four pure laine (old stock) French Quebecers descend from him. The descendants are often recognized as Dion, sometimes as Despres, Dumontier, Lemoine and in Louisiana as Derbanne. He has been linked to the family trees of Madonna, Celine Dion, Stéphane Dion and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall.

By 1730, more than 2,150 births of Guyon descendents had been recorded, according to The First French Canadians: Pioneers in the St. Lawrence Valley. By 1800, Guyon had 9,674 married descendents, the second-most of Nouvelle France immigrants, according to the Historical Demography Research Program of the Université de Montréal. This study enabled neurological researchers to trace 40 cases of classical Friedreich's ataxia, a rare inherited disease, across 12 generations to 14 previously unrelated French-Canadians kindreds to one common ancestral couple: Guyon and his wife Mathurine Robin. The disease causes progressive damage to the nervous system resulting in symptoms ranging from gait disturbance and speech problems to heart disease. The finding allows for gene chromosomal localization studies that had previously been judged to be almost impossible in rare autosomal recessive disorders.

Honours
In 1984, the 350th anniversary of Guyon's arrival, Quebec City named a park after him and a commemorative plaque to honour Guyon was mounted on the church in Beauport by the Association des Dion d'Amérique inc. In 2006, the city renamed a street after him.

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:

The House of Griffith

About the year 1113, "there was a talke through South Wales, of Gruffyth, the sonne of Rees ap Theodor, who, for feare of the king, had beene of a child brought up in Ireland, and had come over two yeares passed, which time he had spent privilie with his freends, kinsfolks, and affines; as with Gerald, steward of Penbrooke, his brother-in-law, and others.

By his wife Gwenllian, the daughter of Gruffyth ap Conan, he left a son, commonly called the lord Rhys, who met the archbishop at Radnor, as is related in the first chapter of this Itinerary.

Jeremiah Echols, son of William Echols III and Mary Elizabeth Farmer, was born in Virginia in 1811. His mother died in Huntsville Madison County Alabama in 1816, and is buried there. In about 1836 Jeremiah came with his father, his stepmother Sarah Haley, and some of his siblings to Chulahoma Marshall County Mississippi. There the family bought land from the Chickasaw Indians in 1837. Fannie's mother Harriet Echols also came from Pittsylvania County Virginia to Marshall County Mississippi in the late 1830s. Jeremiah and Harriet were third cousins. After Jeremiah and Harriet married in Marshall County Mississippi on 12 Oct 1841, they made their home in the next county, which was then DeSoto Mississippi. Tate County was formed out of DeSoto County in 1873. The children born to Jeremiah and Harriet were Joel Turner, Susan Luvenia, Mary D, David E, and Frances Jeremiah.

Jeremiah and Harriet lived on land owned by his brother John until Jeremiah's death, at which time John, who had moved to Texas, sold that land so he would have no holdings in Mississippi to manage. Harriet, being a strong person in both personality and perserverance, managed to buy 300 acres of land in the Crockett area, and later bought other land connected to the 300. The Echols' had donated a plot for a Baptist Church and space for a cemetery in that area. It was in that cemetery that both Jeremiah and Harriet were buried. The site was covered by a road in 1937.

Jeremiah Guild, Sr.
Little is known of his youth, except that he lived with his mother, who, in 1754, was a widow, and the owner of eighteen acres of land in the Parish of Middlefield, in Middletown, with the use of which, and the avails of her own labor (being a tailoress), she managed to support herself and her three children, until these became of sufficient age to support themselves. . . . (Samuel's) son, Jeremiah, being strongly inclined to a sea-faring life, engaged himself as a sailor on board of a vessel making voyages to the West Indies, carrying various productions of the colony to exchange for commodities produced there. At length, having studied navigation, and become the owner and captain of a sloop, he engaged in the same business on his own account. Sometime during the Revolutionary War his vessel was taken by the British and burned, he and his brother, Samuel, who was one of his crew, being carried prisoners to Halifax in Nova Scotia. After some time he was permitted to go home on parole, having signed a paper binding himself not to bear arms against His Majesty the King of Great Britain during the war. After being released from imprisonment, he returned to Middlefield, and, having bought some land in addition to that which his mother owned, he engaged in farming, as the best business he could then pursue. Here he resided until his mother's death, which took place March 21, 1792, she being 78 years of age. in the spring of 1793, having previously purchased a farm, containing 150 acres of land, or Friend H. Frisbie, lying in the north-east corner of the town of Warren, in Milton Society, Litchfield County, Conn., he moved with his family to it, and engaged in farming, clearing land, and manufacturing charcoal for the use of the iron works, several of which operated nearby. He, pursuing " the even tenor of his ways," he passed the remainder of his life, honored and respected as an honest and upright man. He was a member of the Episcopal Church, and for several years one of its wardens. He took an active part in building a house of worship in Trinity Parish, Milton; he loved its services, and, although situated more than two miles from its place of worship, was very regular in his attendance upon them. Into the Episcopal Church all his children were baptized; by some one of its clergymen he and nearly all children were married; and the solemn rites of its burial service were performed, when, on a cold, blustery day, February 2,1822, his body was committed to its last resting place, the Rev, Isaac Jones officiating, who said, in his funeral discourse, that a pillar had been removed from the church militant." -- Genealogy of a Part of the Guild Family in the United States and Canada; Burleigh; pps 7-9.

January 23, 1793, Jedediah Strong of Litchfield conveyed to Jeremiah Guild of Middlefield, CT, one hundred acres in Blue Swamp. The bounds defined indicate the location of the old Guild Tavern which stands at the corner of the Milton-Cornwall and Shear Shop Road (542 Shear Shop Rd). The two-story center-chimney structure was at first home for the Guild family. By 1833, it had become a tavern which served the Hartford-Poughkeepsie stagecoach line until 1877. Jeremiah's son Alban, ran the establishment until three years before it ceased to function, when he was ninety years old. Horatio Griswold (husband of Alban's granddaughter, Augusta R. Johnson) became the proprietor who had the building repaired and altered in 1876. Two fires in the twentieth century damaged much of the eighteenth-century architecture, which had to be replaced with new. The old building had reverted to a private dwelling, which it is today. -Chronicles of Milton, p161.

Jeremiah Guild is the single Guild ancestor to which a great many Guilds and their descendents in the U.S. and Canada trace their ancestry; most of them through his son, Timothy.

*******************************************************************************

After Jeremiah (Sr.) died, it appears that several of his children, & their spouses, began their trek to GA, spending a few years in Pittsylvania Co., VA on the way.

John White, John Shackelford, Jacob Cleveland, John Martin, Joseph Ballenger, Jno. Waller, all swore to the Oath of Allegiance, 1777, Pittsylvania Co., Va.
(Chiarita, M. D. "Oaths of Allegiance - 1777,
Pittsylvania County, Virginia." Feb. 1985, "Magazine of Virginia Genealogy," Vol. 23, No. 1, p. 3.)

They more than likely traveled to GA in the group headed up by Gen. Matthews.

From "The Official History of Elbert Co. (GA), 1790-1935" by John H. McIntosh, Cherokee Publishing Co., Atlanta, GA, 1983, Chapter IV, p. 33:

" In the year 1784, General George Matthews, who later became Governor, brought a large number of Virginians and North Carolinians to the Broad and Savannah River country and they established themselves in the territory around the site of what was soon to become the thriving and commercially important town of Petersburg."

Joel Motley, the son of Joseph and Elizabeth (Forrest) Motley, was born about 1750 in Amelia County. He inherited 600 acres of land with a mill from his father.

Joel married first Mary Williams in Amelia County 13 September (bond) 1769. She was the daughter of Philip Williams Sr. who died in Amelia County in 1786 (will dated 14 Jan. 1786 , recorded 28 Dec. 1786) and mentioned deceased daughter Mary Motley in his will. Mary’s sister Elizabeth Williams married Nicholas Vaughan, the son of Robert Vaughan Sr. and his wife, Martha. Her brother Phillip Williams married Joel’s sister Martha Motley. Joel and Mary had three children before she died. Amelia County listed Joel Motley head of a family of four with 17 slaves in 1782.

Joel married second Sarah (Coppage) Lunsford in Amelia County 17 June (bond) 1783. Robert Vaughan Jr., Joel’s brother-in-law, was his surety on the marriage bond. Sarah was the widow of John Lunsford who died in Amelia County in 1782 (will dated 2 Jan. 1782, recorded 25 April 1782).
Sarah gave birth within a year after her marriage. Both she and the infant were evidently ill because Sarah immediately wrote her will in Amelia County 21 May 1784. She identified herself as the wife of Joel Motley and left her property to “my child if said child should live.” If the child died, her property would go to her brother Moses Coppage and her niece Sally Sutton, daughter of James Sutton and Betty Coppage. William Cross Craddock, Matthew Robertson, and John Vaughan witnessed her will. Sarah evidently did not recover and we have no record that the child lived.

Joel married third Sylvia Cook on 16 April (bond) 1785. Joel and Sylvia had two children before Joel died. He was dead before 22 June 1789. On 24 December 1789, John Harper, Matthew Robertson, and William Craddock appraised the estate of Josiah Hundley. They noted that as of 22 June 1789, “1,030 pounds above mentioned tobacco is claimed by Mrs. Siliva Motley as the property of her decd husband.”
In 1792 Amelia County appointed Matthew Robertson the guardian for the children of Joel and Mary (Williams) Motley and appointed Sylvia (Cook) Motley the guardian of her two children. As Sylvia Mottley she married Daniel Sayre in Amelia County 11 February (bond) 1795. Sylvia continued to report orphan accounts for her children. Historians show Joel’s children as named “Mottley” and this is how many records showed their names.

Children of Joel and Mary (Williams) Motley:
Paschal Mottley [M.4.1]. (26 Dec. 1772).
John Mottley [M.4.2] (27 May 1774 - 20 June 1828) married Mary Williams Elmore (30 Aug. 1783 - 8 Dec. 1817) in Amelia County on Christmas Day, 1798. Rev. John Skurrey officiated. Mary was the daughter of Thomas Elmore. John and Mary had eight children before she died. John married second Sylvia Wilkinson Hundley (30 July 1785) on 12 April 1821.
Joseph Mottley [M.4.3] (1776).
Elizabeth Mottley [M.4.4].
Children of Joel and Sylvia (Cook) Motley:
Nathaniel M. Mottley [M.4.5] (1786).
Sally R. Mottley [M.4.6] (1788) married James H. Thurston in Amelia County 25 August 1809. Sally’s guardian, George Baldwin consented to the marriage.

Johann Albrecht was born at Wildbad, Duchy of Württemberg and was only four years old when his father died. His step-father, Johannes Höltzlin, was also a barber-surgeon as were several of his uncles and so it was only natural that he would follow in their footsteps. After his marriage to the daughter of the Lutheran pastor at Sulz am Eck, he and Maria Barbara lived at Neubeulach, a town a few miles west of Sulz but by 1703 had settled at Haiterbach, a few miles from Nagold, his father's birth place.

Johann Michael Spiegel took up the trade of tailor as a young single man and moved from Haiterbach in the Duchy of Württemberg to Spoeck in the Duchy of Baden-Durlach. He married there and had several children, but in 1736 requested permission to leave for the "New World" with his wife and children. He paid fees and taxes and was allowed to leave in the spring of 1737. They arrived in Philadelphia, 31 October 1737, and soon settled in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where they had five children baptized at the Brickerville Lutheran Church between 1739 and 1747. No record of the death of Johann Michael Spiegel has been found to date.

Johannes appears to have started the shipbuilding at Haagenvik. The Haagenvik property was situated on the fjord, in an ideal place to build and launch large boats. He took over the ownership of the property from his father-in-law Frederick Stockfleth von Krogh. Frederick and his wife had 7 daughters and no son to inherit the estate. At that time it was not possible for a female to inherit the assets of one's father. Since Catherine was the oldest of his daughters, her husband became the legal successor. Johannes came from a family rich in sailing and shipbuilding tradition, and Haagenvik, with its direct access to the fjord, was a perfect place to build and launch ships. After this transfer, the name von Krogh dropped from association with the Haagenvik property.

Thus the old officer farm became property of the Magnus family. The shipyard delivered its first vessel in 1852. At the time, Johannes Magnus lived in Hogganvik. He was a strong fellow from what is told about him. He was 6 feet and 6 inches tall. One time, some lumber had been ordered from Dokskar, and it was brought to Hogganvik as a raft. Johannes Magnus was not satisfied with the lumber. "What kind of material is it that you are bringing? It is nothing but garbage" he said with a thundering voice. The man from Dokskar got upset and said that if Johannes Magnus could carry the largest piece of timber on his shoulders, he would give him the whole shipment for free. Magnus took the largest timber on his shoulders and carried it all the way from the docks to the barn, where he threw it on the ground. The timber remained at this spot as a reminder of Johannes' strength.
Johannes Magnus had several sons and the two first born, Frederik and Morten, became the great shipbuilders at Haagenvik.

Johannes arrived in Philadelphia in September 1732 on the ship 'the Dragon'.

Both the young people are well known and highly esteemed in this
city. A host of friends will join The Pilot in the hope that they

Johannes Magnus had several sons and the two first born, Frederik and Morten, became the great shipbuilders. Frederik, of all things, started out as a pharmacy apprentice in Flekkefjord, and in the transition phase he also tried clockmaking in Stavanger, but he didn't like any of the two occupations. He came back to Haagenvik, where he and his brother Morten initiated the shipyard.

Johannes Yoho was born in 1712 in Sulzthal, Alsace. He died after 1795 in Graysville, Ohio Co, VA. He was buried in Peter Yoho Cem, Fish Ck, Marshall Co, WV.

From the list of all the Palatine passengers on board, the ship "Snow Two Sisters", James Marshall, Master, from Rotterdam, last from Cowes in England. [Qualified September 9, 1738.] John Joho age 37, Susanna Joho age 44.

Lived Sulzthal, Alsace (Lembach Parish), PA, VA. Emigrated in 1738 on ship SNOW TWO SISTERS, wooden shoe maker, Revolutionary War Veteran.

The name is spelled, Yoheaux in French and Joho in German and Dutch. He migrated to Philadelphia in 1738. In 1752 he was living near Winchester, VA. In 1761 he moved to an area of Virginia which would later lie in southwestern Pennsylvania (probably Greene Co., PA). By 1795 he was living in Ohio Co., VA, which is now Marshall Co., WV. He died there shortly after 1795.

Johannas Yoho was confirmed in 1729. It is thought that Johannas Joho, (son of John Michael Yoho and Susanna Gelker of Sulzthal, Alsace) and his wife, Susanna Catharine Lau, daughter of Theobald Lau, are the parents of 11 children. Johannas and Susanna had one or more children who were born and died before they came to America. Two daughters are recorded as being born in America. Family oral tradition from the descendants of brothers, John, Henry, and Jacob Yoho all claim that 3, 5, or 7 brothers came from Switzerland, Germany or Holland to Baltimore or Philadelphia and that they were wearing wooden shoes. Johannas Yoho was a wooden shoemaker in Alsace.

Johannas Yoho was probably buried in an unmarked grave at the Yoho Cemetery, near Graysville, Marshall Co., WV. This cemetery is on the farm that was owned by Peter Yoho.

He was married to Susannah Catherine Lau (daughter of Theobald Lau) on 1 MAR 1735 in Sulzthal, Alsace. Susannah Catherine Lau was born about 1714 in Sulzthal, Alsace.

Johannes Yoho and Susannah Catherine Lau had the following children:
6 i. Marie Christine Yoho1 was born on 20 OCT 1735 in Mattsall, Alsace. She died in 1736 in
Mattsall, Alsace.
7 ii. Eva Cathrina Yoho1 was born on 18 JUN 1737 in Lemback Parish, Sulzthal, Alsace. She died
before 1741.
8 iii.Maria Christine Yoho1 was born on 14 MAR 1740 in Conewago Co, PA. She was christened on
22 MAY 1740.
+9 iv. Eva Catrina Yoho.
+10 v. Peter Yoho.
+11 vi. John Lau Yoho.
12 vii. George Yoho1 was born about 1748 in nr Winchester, VA. He died about
1795 in Ohio Co, VA. Killed by Indians.

A George Yoho patented 400 acres in Fayette Co., PA, 4 Feb 1794, surveyed 312 acres, 16 Apr 1795, 312 acres sold for taxes by Commissioner of Fayette Co., PA, 10 Dec 1802. If tradition of George Yoho being killed by Indians is true, he didn't pay his taxes because he was deceased.

Records exist of at least four, and possibly five Yoho ancestors who served as soldiers during the Indian Wars and the American Revolution, including George Yoho, Peter Yoho, John Yoho, Henry Yoho and Jacob Yoho. These five men are believed to be five of the sons of Johannas Yoho
(born 1712 and died circa 1795) and Susanne Catherine (Lau) Yoho (born circa 1714). Following is information and records evidencing my conclusions relating to the service of these men in the Indian Wars. George Yoho is believed to have patented a four-hundred acre tract in Saltlick Twp., Fayette County, Pennsylvania on February 4, 1794. Then on April 16, 1795, a three-hundred and twelve acre tract was surveyed. Subsequently, on December 10, 1822, the three-hundred and twelve acre tract was sold for taxes by the treasury to the land commissioners of the county, who by deed sold the same property to Andrew Stewart on November 6, 1828. A George
Yohe served in the Revolutionary War, but later said that his real name was Adam Yohe. It is believed that he used this assumed name when he enlisted because his father was opposed to his entering the army. It is also believed that he lived his entire life in and near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. (Source:The Yoho Newsletter, April 1995, Vol. 4, No. 1).

13 viii. Anne Maria Yoho was christened on 9 SEP 1750 in York Co, PA.
+14 ix. Henry Yoho.
+15 x. Prudence Yoho.
+16 xi. Jacob Yoho.
