| 7422 | Some family trees call him John Henry Chiles and also show one of his wives as Mary Littlepage, which appears to be incorrect. John Chiles died in 1723 in King William County, Virginia. He was born. According to research by Charles Leonard DeMott, John Chiles received a land patent in New Kent County in 1691. On 5 Apr 1722 he was granted 300 acres in King William County where he was Church Warden of St. Margaret's Parish. There is great controversy regarding the last names of both of John's wives and which wife was mother of each of his children. At this point his children are listed here under him without the mother indicated. John Chiles and Eleanor possibly Webber were married.Eleanor possibly Webber, daughter of Henry Webber, was also known as Eleanor Chiles. She was also known as Eleanor Hickman. He also married Mary possibly Boucher. | Chiles, John (I55403)

| 7423 | Some Greeneville History, Excerpted from "History of Greenville South Carolina" by James M. Richardson Chapter III, Fort Prince George Built About the year 1750, the piedmont section of South Carolina began to receive its first permanent settlers. These did not come from the coast, however, but principally from Virginia, Pennsylvania and western New York, moving down the valleys of the Alleghenies, bringing their families and all their portable property with them. They were of the crude pioneer type, having little wealth and education, and living in close touch with nature. Every family supplied itself as best it could from the soil and forests. For the most part, these new settlers were Scotch-Irish, and adhered to the Presbyterian faith in religion. Some, however, were of the sturdy Quaker stock. But in contrast to these simple hard-working frontiersmen were the dwellers of the low country, who, by this time, had a well-formed social system, and established religion (Episcopal) and a great deal of accumulated wealth, with many families of culture and refinement. And in order to understand the sectional differences, which have played such a prominent part in the social, political, and economic life of South Carolina, one must bear in mind the different types of people making up the citizenship of the up-state and the coastal section. With the coming of the French and Indian war in 1754, both the French and the English were anxious to secure the aid of the various Indian tribes. The Cherokees had always been friends and allies of the English, but the French had never lost an opportunity to court their favor, so they now sent emissaries among them, with costly presents, who spoke in glowing terms of the advantages to be obtained by a French alliance. But the Cherokees were satisfied with existing conditions and hastened to assure the Carolinians that they would remain true to their pledge of friendship with the English. They expressed fears, however, of the French making an attack upon the colony by marching through their country. Such a move on the part of the French, they did not feel themselves strong enough to check, and an attack upon the Carolina frontier from their nation, they realized, might cause the English to question their sincerity. For years the government in Charles Town had realized that it was unprepared to withstand an attack upon its frontiers made from the Cherokee country, whether coming from the French or the Indians themselves. Now seemed an opportune time to gain the consent of the Cherokees to build a few forts at strategic points in their nation, so Governor Glen went out from Charles Town in 1755 to enter negotiations with the Cherokees, relative to securing sufficient lands in their territory upon which to build these fortifications. The Governor and his party were met in one of the lower Indian towns by Atta Kulla Kulla, who, it will be remembered, had gone to England in the Cummings party, and about 500 warriors. Out of this conference came a formal treaty (the first between the Cherokees and Carolinians), by which the colony was given permission to build forts in the Indian country, and in addition it was granted a vast territory of Indian lands of uncertain boundary. This treaty was reduced to writing and formally signed by Governor Glen for the colony, and Atta Kulla Kulla and other Indian chiefs for the Cherokees. The original is on file in the office of the Historical Commission at Columbia, and should prove interesting to those who delight in using high-sounding words and well-turned phrases to obscure their real meaning. Reading that document now, in the light of later events, one can but think it was the studied purpose of the Carolinians when preparing the instrument, to acquire color of title to a major portion of the Cherokee holdings while leading the trusting savages to think that only fort sites were being granted. If not, why the vagueness of wording? One taking title to land does not trust to such hidden meanings and vague descriptions as are found in this treaty. But regardless of the intention of the Cherokees, and in the face of vigorous protects from their chief, Atta Kulla Kulla, the Carolinians took possession of the major portion of the Indians; rich grazing and hunting lands in South Carolina, claiming it under the treaty. Roughly, this new acquisition comprised the territory now constituting the counties of Edgefield, McCormick, Greenwood, Abbeville, Laurens, Newberry, Union, Spartanburg, York, Cherokee, Chester, Fairfield, Richland, and a portion of Lexington. The Cherokees retained only that portion of the colony embraced within the present counties of Anderson, Greenville, Pickens, and Oconee. After the treaty was entered into, England made haste to erect a fort across the river from the Cherokee town of Keowee, and called it Fort Prince George. Another fortress was built on the Tennessee River and named Fort Loudon. During the year of the Cherokee compact, General Braddock was defeated and for a time thereafter the French arms were in the ascendency, thus leaving the frontiers of Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia exposed to French and Indian attacks from Fort Duquesne on the Ohio. Faced with this danger, great numbers of the settlers there turned southward to join their neighbors and friends who had already moved into upper South Carolina. Colonel Clarke had come from Virginia and settled on Pacolet River, in what is now Sp themselves on the three forks of Tyger River. They were Scotch-Irish Presbyterians, and within a few years established Nazareth church out of which grew Fairview of present Greenville County. The names of some of these were BARRY, MOORE, ANDERSON, COLLINS, THOMPSON, VERNON, PEARSON, JAMISON, DODD, RAY, NICHOLS, all names still common in Greenville and Spartanburg Counties. Patrick CALHOUN (ancestor of John C.) settled on Long Cane in present Abbeville County in 1756, finding there two families who had preceded him, one of whom was named GOWDY, and the other EDWARDS. By 1760 this settlement had grown to a population of near 200. From 1751 to 1754, eight or ten families emigrated from Pennsylvania and settled on Fair Forest creek, in what is now Union County. First among these to come were George STORY, James MCIlWAINE and a Mr. DUGAN. Another settlement near the present town of Union was made from Pennsylvania about 1754. Among the Settlements were made in present Newberry and Laurens Counties on waters of Enoree river, Kings creed, Gilders creek, Indian creek, Duncan creek and Tyger river as early as 1749. Others are known to have taken up lands in all other of what are today referred to as Piedmont Counties, except such as were undeniably Cherokee territory. In fact, such a steady stream of immigration flowed in, that by now these new settlers came, and the manner in which they set about the task of making a home for themselves in this new country, is well described by Dr. William A. Schaper in his valuable work, "Sectionalism in South Carolina" in the following words; "The people came in groups, many driving their stock before them, from the frontiers of Pennsylvania, Virginia and North Carolina. They followed the great valleys and adjoining plateaus that run in a general southwesterly direction, from western Pennsylvania to northern Georgia. These natural highways afforded an easy approach to the uplands of South Carolina, where lands were fertile and far removed from the Indian disturbances of that time. They located first in Waxhaws, in what later became Lancaster District, and on the Cane Lands of Abbeville. From these points, settlement gradually spread over the more accessible tracts toward the mountains. These frontiersmen were mostly Scotch-Irish, a hardy band of frontiersmen who stood guard over the advancing civilization from the Carolinas to Western New York. Only the hunter and trapper, and the Indian trader had preceded them into the wilderness. But unlike their predecessors, they came to stay, at least long enough to see a more settled community arise.... The Carolina pioneers brought their families, their rude and scanty store of household goods, their crude implements, seed, and domestic animals, ready for the work of frontier farming. The first task was the building of the log cabin. This was the work of a day or two. With a jug of cider or whiskey to make merry, the pioneer invited his neighbor to lend a helping hand....The furniture was scarce, but the faithful rifle always hung in the chimney corner within easy reach....The great task of the pioneer was the work of clearing and breaking up the land. Each family owned from 50 to 200 or 300 acres....They were almost completely shut in from the outside world. There were no navigable streams to join them with the civilized world or the older settlements. Below them was the middle country--a sandy tract, covered with dense pine forests....In a region where every man must rely on his own strong arm and his rifle for the support and protection of his family, there are no distinctions. It was a strongly democratic society, then, that grew up here, typical of the West. Wealth accumulated very slowly and there were very few slaves until the close of the century. The people enjoyed their rude but wholesome life spent in close touch with nature." And now had begun the actual settlement of the "back country", as it was then termed. For more than a half century, this great section had been the source of one of the colony's richest natural recourses in its peltry trade; but that asset was about to give way for another--its sturdy Scotch-Irish men and women, who were to furnish the future state with some of her most conspicuous leaders in every activity of life. The First Cherokee War The effect of the Cherokee treaty of 1755, followed by the defeat of General Braddock in Virginia, was to bring an influx of new settlers upon the frontiers of South Carolina, as has been previously discussed. But unfortunately, due to the blundering tactics of Governor Lyttleton of South Carolina, these newcomers were soon faced with the same dangers from which they had fled---hostile Indians upon their frontiers. Early in the conflict, the Cherokees joined forces with Great Britain and her American colonies, against the French and their Indian allies. And after the British reverses in Virginia, the Cherokees dispatched a number of warriors there to reinforce their hard-pressed allies. In 1758, Fort Duquesne fell before a combined attack of the English, Virginians and Indians, the Indians being led, it is said, by Captain Richard Pearis, afterward a resident of present day Greenville County; and with the removal of this great French stronghold, the southern colonies began to breathe freely again. The Cherokees, seeing that they were no longer needed, set out upon their return to Carolina, but on their homeward journey they incurred the wrath of a few Virginia settlers who fired upon them. Being greatly enraged, the warriors hurried to their Carolina homes and reported the ill treatment, which had been accorded them. The young men of the Nation were for immediate and indiscriminate war upon the whites, but the leaders endeavored to restrain them from committing any overt acts till a conference with the governor at Charles Town could be arranged. However, a number of the young Indians, without the sanction of their head-men, raided the frontier settlements of present Spartanburg, Laurens and Abbeville Counties, killing a number of the inhabitants. When it became known in the Cherokee nation that the wishes of the head-men had been disregarded, there was great alarm among the Indian people, and a deputation of 32 of the leading chiefs, led by Occonostota, was immediately started to Charles Town, where it was hoped a settlement of the difficulties could be effected. The Cherokees had always been on terms of the closest friendship with the Carolinians, and they greatly desired that this friendly relationship continue. But unfortunately, James Glen, who fully understood the Indians, was no longer governor; instead William Henry Lyttleton, a hot-head, who had his own ideas of how to handle the situation, now held that position. So after traveling for more than 200 miles upon their mission of peace, the Indian envoys were not even permitted to lay their petition before the governor. Instead, they were bluntly told that the governor did not care to hear them, and that he was even then about to march upon their people with an army. The Indians were assured, however, that they would be permitted to return to their own country since they had come on a friendly mission; but they were advised that the safest way for the return would be with the troops. Within a few days after the coming of the chieftains, fully confident that the governor would receive them in the same spirit of friendship that had prompted their mission, these chosen leaders of a proud people, found themselves in the humiliating position of returning to their country, virtual prisoners in the hands of avowed enemies. Till the Congarees (Columbia) was reached they were permitted to march with the army, but upon leaving this encampment they were all made prisoners, and carried back to Keowee under heavy guard. Such treatment was inconceivable to the Indian mind, except it came at the hand of an enemy. In friendship, and on a mission of peace, their chiefs had journeyed to the seat of the white man's governments, and they were brought back in chains and lodged in prison. Could such conduct be condoned? Never in the eyes of the proud Cherokee race! An unpardonable injury had been done them, and nothing short of bloodshed could propitiate that wrong. Governor Lyttleton was as ignorant of the methods of Indian warfare as he was of the savage's ethics of life. The expedition had been hurriedly undertaken, and his troops were ill supplied with food, clothing and ammunition to withstand an Indian attack in that remote region. Many of the soldiers, realizing the incompetency of their leadership, soon began to show their discontent, and the governor, fearing mutiny, hurried messengers to Atta Kulla Kulla, the leading chief of all the Cherokees, requesting his immediate presence at Fort Prince George. Upon the arrival of this old chief, Governor Lyttleton, making as great a show of strength as possible, told him that he had brought his army into the Indian country to make war upon the red men if 24 of their number (this being the number of whites killed in the recent raid) were not immediately delivered up to be dealt with as might seen best. Atta Kulla Kulla proposed that three of the imprisoned chiefs, including Occonostota, be liberated to assist him in finding 24 of the young men who had taken part in the massacre. The suggestion was taken, and three of the Indians prisoners were released. But on the following day, after two of the guilty young men had been brought in, Atta Kulla Kulla set out upon his journey home. He had not proceeded far, however, when he was overtaken by a messenger from the governor requesting his return. Accordingly, the old warrior retraced his steps and again presented himself at the camp of Governor Lyttleton, where he frankly stated that additional time must be given if any more of the raiders were to be captured. The governor having already realized his mistake, and knowing that his army could not be held together longer, proposed a treaty by which 22 of the chiefs, then held prisoners, should be retained as hostages till an equal number of Indians were delivered in compliance with the original demand. This was acceded to by Atta Kulla Kulla, and such an agreement was reduced to writing and formally signed by Governor Lyttleton for the colony, and six Indians chiefs in behalf of the Cherokees. This done, the army was withdrawn. Although the treaty was signed by the Cherokees, they never seemed to hold themselves bound by its terms, and no effort was made to deliver up any portion of the 22 Indians demanded. Occonostota continued to smart because of the treatment accorded him and his friends who had gone to Charles Town, and set himself to the task of releasing the hostages still confined in Fort Prince George. After gathering his warriors, he delivered an assault upon the fort, but little impression could be made. Seeing that he could not hope to accomplish his purposes in this manner, he used deception to draw Captain Cotymore from the fort, and no sooner was he outside its protecting walls than he was shot down by Indians previously placed in ambush for that purpose. As a consequence of this Indian treachery, orders were given at the fort to put the hostages in irons, but they resisted, and the garrison fell upon them and butchered them all in a most horrible manner. The Cherokee issue had been unwisely handled from its inception, and this last act was a fatal blunder. There was hardly an Indian in the Nation who had not lost a relative in the massacre of the hostages, and now a cry for the blood of their enemies "to propitiate the spirits of their dead brothers" went up over the entire Cherokee country. With the hatchet, scalping knife and torch in hand, the savages rushed down upon the frontier settlements, leaving death and destruction in their wake. Men, women and children fell innocent sacrifices everywhere to the inefficient rule of Governor Lyttleton. Some escaped the tomahawk by fleeing to the woods only to die there of hunger, while others were taken prisoners to be subjected to themselves, hurried messenger after messenger to Charles Town imploring aid, while the savages each day added new victims to their harvest of blood. But an epidemic of smallpox was sweeping over the coast country and no help could be furnished, and these unhappy people were left to contend with the savage scourge as best they could. Small forts and block-houses were hastily constructed along the entire Cherokee frontier, and into these crude fortifications the sorely beset settlers crowed with their movable property, where they remained in a state of defense, till the fury of their enemies exhausted itself in the systematic destruction of their unprotected homes, provisions and fields. At this time, the present Greenville County, still being Indian territory, bristled with these places of defense all along her eastern and southern boundaries, where are now found Spartanburg and Laurens Counties. After a time, Virginia and North Carolina came to the rescue of the South Carolinians by sending down seven troops of rangers, which were joined in a short time by Colonel Montgomery with a small force of British regulars. Montgomery, assuming command, marched into the Cherokee country where he inflicted heavy losses on the Indians. But he was recalled to the northern provinces within a short time, and again the Carolina frontier was left exposed to the savage attacks. A provincial regiment was then raised and put under command of Colonel Middleton. Among the officers of this regiment, who later gained prominence in South Carolina military and political history, were Henry Laurens, William Moultrie, Francis Marion, Isaac Huger and Andrew Pickens. This force united with a regiment of British regulars under Colonel Grant, who had been sent to Carolina when it seemed that the Indian trouble there was becoming so serious as to endanger the British cause in America. The command of the united forces was entrusted to Colonel Grant, who, now at the head of 2,600 men, pushed rapidly into the wilderness of the Cherokee country, utterly destroying the homes, granaries and growing crops of the Indians, who fled before the approaching army into the mountains, where they often attacked from ambush, but without inflicting sufficient losses upon the advancing forces to seriously impede their progress. This expedition was known as the Grant Indian war; and it brought the Cherokees into complete submission, thus ending the first conflict of arms between the Cherokees and South Carolina. Note.--The agreement between Governor Lyttleton and the Cherokees with reference to holding the hostage chiefs, and the treaty which terminated the Grant campaign were both reduced to writing, and are on file in the office of Historical Commission at Columbia.

| 7424 | Some of the Descendants of John Hoskins, Who Came From England to America in 1630 - by Nitschke, Luella H. Syracuse, N.Y. , 1957 Bartholomew Hoskins (Hodgkins) was a merchant and in the shipping business (ship owner) pg. 28 By 1655 he had acquired over 4,000 ac of land and become a man of prominence in his community. He was among the vestrymen for the Parish of Lynnhaven, a member of the County Court and the representative for Lower Norfolk County in the House of Burgesses, 1649-1656. He wa a man of great bravery, adventure, faced many time treacherous ocean and dangers of a new and strange land. This information comes from Glenister Hoskins book "Batholomew Hoskins of Virginia and some of his Descendants" The only written information on Samuel comes being paid to teach two children and the 1830 census of Jefferson County. Bartholomew Hoskins and Widow Dorcas Foster...Bartholomew Hoskins, "ancient planter", is known to have been in Virginia by 1616. From The Virginia Genealogist we find Bartholomew Hoskins of Jamestown, Virginia married Mrs. Dorcas Foster in London, 1624, a widow with several young children. It is also known that he made frequent trips between Virginia and England during this early period, and kept a residence in London on Fleet Street for several years after his removal to Virginia. According to Virginia Gleanings in England, he was a plaintiff or defendant in many chancery cases in England, no doubt necessitating his numerous trips back to England. He and wife Dorcas settled in Elizabeth City in Lower Norfolk County. He is frequently mentioned in Virginia colonial records and served as a member of the House of Burgesses. He also acquired considerable land in Virginia. Some of these land grants are shown here, taken from Cavaliers and Pioneers, Patent Books 1 and 2. Note the Richard Hoskins, a probable relative, perhaps a brother, in the third record, and Richard Foster, mentioned in the last record, likely the stepson of Bartholomew Hoskins.

The connection of Bartholomew Hoskins to Samuel Hoskins, through John Hoskins and Thomas Hoskins is as shown in Hoskins of Virginia and Related Families by Charles Willard Hoskins Warner, 1971. This is the same finding arrived at in Annals of Our Ancestors. It should be noted that the records of King and Queen County were completely destroyed in a fire during the Civil War, in 1864, so once John Hoskins, son of Bartholomew, removed to this county, the only records we have of him and his son and grandson, also King and Queen residents, are bits and scraps of information which have been gathered from personal family records of descendants, and historical collectors. One such piece of evidence being a copy of the will of Thomas Coleman of King and Queen County, a copy of which had been made for an attorney in an 1809 suit, and discovered years later in another county. In this will is named his daughter, Dolly Hoskins. Hoskins of VA--- 1. Bartholomew Hoskins (1600-1662) came to VA in 1614-15 bef. the departure of Sir Thos. Dale, the governor, and appears to have lived first in Jamestown. He went to Buck Roe in the Corp. of Eliz. City where he rec'd a patent of 100 ac as "an ancient planter"-- due for his personal adventure and graunted to him by Sir Francis Wyatt, 3 Nov 1624." Means he paid his own way to VA. He was only abt. 15, which indicated that he was of a family with means. With a small group of others he rec'd 100 ac patent as the first landowner in the Colony. In 1624 the London Co. was dissolved and the control of VA was taken over by the Crown. All persons had previouslylived on land as lessees of the London Company which was a business enterprise. In 1624 the Crown awarded 100 ac of land to those settlers who had risked their lives & fortunes to settle in VA and gave them the honorary title of "Ye Ancient Planter". in 1660 Bartolomew was aged 60. The Buck Roe patent was confirmed on 7 Sep 1632 and described as follows: "W. upon a cr. deviding this and the land of Peter Arundel, Gent., E. towards land of John Arundel, Gent., N. upon the back river and S. toward head of Hampton River. Due for his per adv. and graunted to him by Sir Francis Wyatt, 3 Nov. 1624. pg 12 By 1634 Bartholomew was living in Eliz City with his wife and was styled as Barth Hoskins, gent." In 1636 New Norfolk Co. was formed from eliz. City which in 1637 was divided into Lower Norfolk and Upper Norfolk (later Nansemond). Sometime bef. 1642 Bartholomew owned 40 ac of land in Upper Norfolk which he acquired as the admin. of the estate of John bridges, dec. He also had by two former patents 300 ac. and by two other former patents 650 ac. These were granted for Hoskins transporting from Eng. Epaphroditus Lawson, Wm. Lawson, Lettice Lawson, Rowland Lawson & nine others. This land adjoined More Fantleroy and was assigned by Hoskins unto Epaphroditus Lawson. It was described as being "Upon New Towne Haven River running N.W. by a bay side called Mount Lawson, adj. More Fauntleroy. Later Barth. was granted a petent (1 Jan 1645) of 1,350 ac of land on the Rappahannock river, when this area was still unsettled and known then as York County. This patent was the earliest in what is now Essex Co. This patent encouraged settlement aft. 1651. By law no one could settle north of the York until 1651, due to the Indian Treaty. Hoskins continued to live in Lower Norfold and patented this land to encourage immigration into the wilderness. He also wished to sell the land and make a profit. The boundaries were from Saint Margaret's school up the river to Tignor's Creek (later Brockenbrough' Gut and now Bristow's Marina).

| 7426 | Somewhere on the coast of Ireland, a ship stood at anchor. A small boy was playing on the shore with other lads. His mother, in the usual crowd of onlookers, was intent on getting news of her home in Chesire, a short day's sail across the Irish Sea. After a while, a man approached and invited the boys tocome and see the ship. They were hesitant, but he offered a knife to each boy if he would come on board to get it. Those who did go aboard were seized, gagged, and hidden, and the ship sailed off with them. The story goes that one of the boys was named John Ford, and he was "about eight years old." The ship arrived at the port of Kicotan (now called Hampton), at the mouth of the James River. John was taken ashore and offered for sale (indenture). It was the custom in the colony for widows, orphans and abandoned children to be cared for by the vestry, under the charge of the minister of the local parish, following the Anglican practice in England. The Rev. Phillip Mallory was rector of Hampton Parish at this time. He recognized John at once, as he had known his family in Sandbach Parish in County Chester. The minister had been pastor of Moberly Parish, only a short distance from Abbeyfield Park, the Ford homeplace. The Rev. Phillip Mallory soon had the boy released, probably paying the cost of passage. From then on, John's home was in the Mallory household, where he was fed, clothed, and given an education. Sixteen years later, John Ford married the niece of the Rev. Phillip Mallory. She was Mary, daughter of the Rev. Thomas Mallory, Dean of the Cathedral Church in Chester, England. Mary's name appears in her father's will, 1671, which speaks of her as the wife of John Ford in Virginia. The Rev. Phillip Mallory returned to England and died in London in 1661. His will, dated July 23, 1661 and probated July 27, 1661 names "nephew Roger Mallory all my plantations in Virginia." Since Mary was the younger sister of Capt. Roger Mallory, it is possible that she made her home with him. His name appears in a number of county records, all indicating that as a land owner, he was of the "gentleman class." John Ford's people, as land owners, were also of the same social standing. The custom of education of apprenticeship, common in England, would naturally be followed in the colony. Thus John would be brought up to the position of a Virginia gentleman, if indeed he did form part of Captain Roger Mallory's household. The Mallory's bought and sold land in the Northern Neck region of the colony as well as in the York River valley. When John Ford's name appears in the county records he is found living on Rappahannock Creek, close to the point where the creek runs into the Rappahannock River. The Rev. Phillip Mallory at one time owned 1,000 acres of land on Fleet's Bay in "Old" Rappahannock County. | Mallory, Philip (I23240)

Father of Robert Henry Dyer, sometime member of Tennessee General Assembly, grandfather of Joel Henry Dyer, attorney general for 16th District 1831-36. Went to Tennessee in 1792 and settled on Poor Valley Creek, near Mooresburg in Hawkins County. In 1796 appointed 2nd Major of Hawkins County Militia. He was also sometimes Justice of the Peace for Hawkins County. Senate, 2nd General Assembly, 1797-99; representing Hawkins County (2nd session only; replaced Joseph McMinn, resigned). About 1812 Joel removed to Rutherford County and was involved in many land transactions. With the opening of the Western District he removed to Madison County in 1821. He inherited land from both his father and father-in-law, purchased 640 acres, and founded a town along the Forked Deer River. The Tennessee General Assembly established Dyer County in 1823 and named it in honor of Colonel Robert H Dyer. John McIver and Joel H Dyer donated sixty acres for the new county seat, named Dyersburg, at a central location within the county named McIver's Bluff. In 1825 Joel Dyer surveyed the town site into eighty-six lots. The first courthouse was built on the square in 1827. It has served as the county set ever since. | Dyer, Joel Henry (I16566)

| 7430 | Son Ralph documented Peter Shelton of Middlesex County, Virginia, born l664 is on record as grandson of James. He wed Susan Jaxon on March 2, 1685, was on record in Middlesex County that year. His second wife was Abigail whose last name and wedding date are not at hand. The name is seen variously as Peter Chi1ton, Peter Chelton and Peter Shelton over the next 30 years. In his will, which he made in 1718, he named only 4 sons, and Ralph is not one named. Genealogists Margaret Campbell Whitaker and Z. F. Shelton both list Ralph as a son of Peter. It is assumed that the authority for this is on record. The 4 sons named in the will were Peter (then deceased), William, Thomas and Zebulon. A fifth son, Henry Chelton, reportedly also predeceased his father at age 26, all births being on record in Christ Church Parish register. Family historian, Kenyon Stevenson, great (5 times) grandson of Ralph, states that there is no evidence in the parish register nor county records to suggest or confirm that Ralph was a son of Peter. But Thomas Meriwether who married Peter's daughter, Susannah, in his last will named his heir, Ralph Shelton, as brother of his wife. Peter Shelton by his wife Susan Jaxon Shelton reportedly had the following children: Ralph Shelton born 1685 Peter Shelton, born November l5, l687 Susannah Shelton, born 1689 His wife Susan died in birthing daughter Susannah or soon thereafter. By his second wife, Abigail, whom Peter named in his will, he had the following children: Henry Shelton, born l69l Thomas Shelton, born 1693 Zebulon Shelton, born 1700 William Shelton, born about 1690 Ralph Shelton, born Middlesex County, Virginia in 1695, son of Peter Shelton and Susan Jaxon Shelton, is the progenitor of the line of which Roderick Shelton of Buncombe County, North Carolina and James Shelton of McMinn County, Tennessee. Peter Shelton son of Peter and Susan Jaxon Shelton, born Middlesex County, Virginia November 15, 1687, wed Elizabeth Downing in May, 1708, had Peter Shelton who wed Frances Nichols July 23, 1763. This Peter, son of Peter, died December 17, 1717. Susannah Shelton, daughter of Peter and Susan Jaxon Shelton, born Middlesex County, Virginia in 1689, wed Thomas Meriwether in about 1706. Thomas Meriwether died in 1708. They had daughter Susannah Meriwether who wed John Armistead of Hesse, Gloucester County, Virginia in 1720. Armistead died in Essex County. Susannah and Thomas Meriwether had also a son, Francis Meriwether. Francis wed Mary Bathurst and had Jane Bathurst Meriwether who married her cousin, Dr. James Shelton, grandson of William and Hannah Armistead Shelton. Thomas Meriwether listed in his will, which he made on January 7, 1708 in Essex County, Virginia, besides the above named children, Susannah and Francis Meriwether, his heir, Ralph Shelton, whom he named as brother of his wife Susannah. | Shelton, Ralph Sr (I12473)

The transcription had a nearly indecipherable "CluCompd" after his name.

The property he obtained was valuable, it sat on the Appomattox River and Sappony Creek, a perfect place to be forded by land horses and boat. Assuming Essex was born about 1692, he suffered from a illness to which he did not survive and died in 1729 at the age of about 37. Leaving his wife and 6 kids, what a shock to the family.

Some years after this graceful Indian maiden had reached the years of mature womanhood, a member (the name is not given) of one of the cavalier families of Virginia fell in love with her and she with him, and the result was a clandestine marriage, and a half-breed Indian girl, who married about the year 1680 a Welshman (others say a native of Devonshire, England), named Nathaniel Davis, an Indian trader, and according to some accounts a Quaker; and from this alliance many notable people in the East and in the West have descended. Their daughter, Mary Davis, born about 1685, married Samuel Burks, of Hanover (the ancestor of the Burks family of Virginia), and their daughter, Elizabeth Burks, married Captain William Cabell, the ancestor of the Cabells. "Martha Davis, senior, a son (the ancestor of the 'black Davises' of Kentucky and from whom Jefferson Davis descended), had a daughter, Abadiah (or Abigail) Davis, who married William Floyd, the ancestor of the Floyds of Virginia and of the West.

"William Floyd left the eastern shore of Virginia, went up the country as far as the present Amherst County, which was then a very wild region, where he met with this family of Davises, who had traded with the Indians and gotten much property this way. (the Quakers were much given to friendly trading with the Indians.) "William Floyd and his wife's brother, Robert Davis, junior, with their families emigrated to Kentucky with the first settlers, and finally located in the Bear-grass region near Louisville, where the kinsmen (Floyds and Davises) had a fort, called Floyd's Station. * * * * * * * "The Princess Nicketti's name has not been popular among her traditional descendents (it may be because the marriage was clandestine).

| 7439 | Source: "Portrait and Biographical Album of Pike and Calhoun Counties, Illinois, 1891" (Page 637) Mathias Stead has been a resident of Griggsville, Pike County, for thirty-five years. He was born in Leeds, Yorkshire, England, November 21, 1819, his parents being John and Mary (Woods) Stead. His father died in 1832 at the age of about forty-eight years. Our subject remained in his native land until 1848, when he emigrated to America, located in St. Louis, Mo., and engaged in the sale of merchandise. In 1855 he removed to his present home, being connected with the firm of Hatch & Co., until 1860. He then began buying apples throughout the surrounding country, shipping them to St. Louis and also dealing somewhat in other produce. Mr. Stead continued to occupy himself thus until 1863, when he became a storekeeper in the army. He was located at Little Rock, Ark., for a year and at other posts for short periods, but spent the greater part of his time in Helena. He retained his position until late in 1866, when he returned to Griggsville and resumed his former occupation of shipping apples and other produce. From 1875 to 1880 he was express agent, and since the last date has lived a retired life on account of ill-health. Our subject is one of six children and the only one living in this country. His oldest brother, William, lives near Leeds, England; John is deceased; Samuel lives in Leeds; James in Chester and the only sister, Elizabeth, occupies the old English home. The mother came to America in 1854, and died in Kirkwood, Mo., a short time afterward at the age of sixty-eight years. Mr. Stead was married in his native place in 1845 to Ann Maud, a native of the same city and daughter of Samuel and Elizabeth Maud. The congenial union has been blessed by the birth of nine children, three of whom died in infancy. John W., George F., and Charles E. are butchers in Griggsville and the last two named are also engaged in farming. Mariott M. is a farmer in Pratt County, Kan., Maude is the wife of William H. Ludlow, of Griggsville; Samuel is in the grocery business in the same town. Mr. Stead is identified with the Odd Fellows lodge in the thriving town in which he resides, and with the Episcopal Church. He has held several local offices, discharging the divers duties of the positions with faithfulness and efficiency. | Stead, Marriot Matthias Nathan (I13135)

He and the other "Netherlander Scots" found the Hudson River and its tributaries, the mountains, trees, fields, and climate much like their former home. The rich land around Kingston (first called Wil twyck) attracted the early settlers. William married Margaret Jacobs, probably in New Utrecht, Long Island, NY, before moving on to Albany, then Marbletown, and finally Shawangunk (later renamed Wallkill) where he made his will 6 May, 1706, wri tten in Dutch but published also in English. (17) In the will he names his living children and his wife Grietji (Margaret), who survived him. In Dutch fashion, he signed his own name as Willem Jansen which is the patronymic for William son of John and named his first son Jan Willems (John son of William) for the boy's grandfather in Holland, thus establishing the lineage back through Holland to Scotland. In Dutch Reformed Church records, all English names were given Dutch spelling. Scott is seen spelled Schot, Schut, Schott and Schutt. When English speaking became more prevalent, the surname reverted to Scott. Children of William and Margaret Scott: i. John Williams, b ca 1664. SEE THIRD GENERATION. THIRD GENERATION 2.

| 7446 | Source: Nims Family Association: Ebenezer Nims, captured in 1704, was then 17 years old and made the march to Canada, was adopted by a squaw and lived at Lorette. Of his romantic marriage to Sarah Hoyt (born May 6th 1686, to David & Sarah Wilson Hoyt). Mr. Sheldon says: "The priest urged her to marry. They pertinaciously, insisted upon it as a duty, and had a French officer selected as her mate, thus assuring themselves of permanent resident and popish converts. Professing to be convinced of her duty in ther, Sara declared one day in public that she would be married, if any of her fellow-captives would have her. Ebenezer Nims, a life-long companion, at once stepped forward and claimed her for his bride. The twain was made one upon the spot. The wily priests had met their match, for it is easy to believe that this was a prearranged issue on the part of the lovers." Gazeteer of Cheshire County N.H. 1704-1737 Part First, Gazeteer of Towns , Page 378 John and Ebenezer Nims were the sons of Godfrey Nims of Deerfield, Mass. Godfrey had eleven children, all of whom, with the exception of the two sons mentioned and one daughter, were destroyed while captives after the raid on Deerfield, in 1704. Ebenezer married Sarah Hoyt while both were captives in Canada, and their eldest son, Ebenezer, was born there Feb 14, 1713. They returned to Deerfield to help his brother John rebuild the house Godrey had built and that had been destroyed by the natives. David, second son of Ebenezer, was born in Deerfield, Mass. March 30, 1716, came to Deerfield 1737 and was probably the first one of the family there. He married Abagail Hawks and was the first town clerk. Ebenezer and Sarah had 5 children; Ebenezer Jr. (1712), David, Moses, Elisha and Amasa. He is believed to be buried in the Old Deerfield burial ground near his family. | Nims, Ebenezer (I81)

Andrew Walton, return of three and six months, men raised in Hampshire County from (late) Colonel Moseley's Regiment, by order of Brigader General Donderson, dated Hampshire County, October 26, 1780. Said Walton returned among men belonging to Captain Moseley's, Captain Kellog's and Lieutenant Sait's Company, engaged for town of Westfield, term three months. Andrew Walton, of Massachusetts, served as a private in Stone's company, 12th Massachusetts Regiment, commanded by Colonel Samuel Brewer; enlisted June 16, 1778, to served eight months, discharged March 16, 1779. Officers: Lieutenant William Stone was of Chester, Hampshire County.Samuel Brewer was the first in Fellows Regiment from May to December, 1775. Colonel John Fellows was commander 1st Birkshire Regiment at Siege of Boston. Colonel Samuel Brewer was Colonel of 2nd Regiment raised to reinforce the army at Ticonderoga 1776. Served there in 1777. Andrew Walton of Chester, Massachusetts, we will call Andrew 1st. as many of the later generations were of the same name. From the vital Statistics of Chester, Massachusetts, in the Chester Center Cemetery Records and Gravestone Records, state that "Mr. Walton died of "Fits" the latter part of June, 1813, aged 80 years." Chester was the home of many of his descendants, his wife's name was Mary Bachelor and one of her grandchildren was named after her. Her father's name was probably William and one of his grandsons was named William Bachelor Walton. The record of the death of Andrew Walton I was also verified by Marie Walton Himbaugh in the old family Bible of his daughter, Lydia Walton Brown, which is still in the family of her descendants. From Chester Massachusetts, where we located our Revolutionary ancestor, Andrew Walton, and where his family was born, we find the second generation leaving their native state, as other Waltons had large land Grants in Eastern and Western New York. The general spirit of unrest, that follows every war cloud, or precedes it, we find several of this second generation locating on the grant of the Holland Land Company in Batavia, New York, about 1812, where many of the later generations are still to be found, and it was from there Nathaniel Walton started his long pilgrimage to Wisconsin. The town of Chester, now in Hampden County, was during the Revolutionary period, all known as Hampshire County. It was in a good agricultural district. This may have been the reason of the location of this family, as many of the later generations were tillers of the soil. And we may reasonably conclude that may have been the occupation of their first ancestor, who settled there. And they continued to reside there for many years and reared their family to manhood and womanhood, as here we find the record of their marriage, and the record of Andrew's death. The 1st census taken in 1790, states that his family consisted of self and wife, three sons over 16 years of age, two sons under 16, and two daughter. Let us look at some of the characteristics of the people of that time. In the early settlement of the town, a minister's lot containing 100 acres was laid out, and a plot of 8 acres for a meeting house, place, training field and burying place was laid out on the southern side. The meeting house was 45 x 40 feet, the posts 20 feet high. This building was used for religious meetings and town meetings, during warm weather, as they had no means of heating it. The building was not completed until 1773. The first minister was Reverend Aaron Bascom. The Scotch element wished a Presbyterian form of church government and the English a Congregational. It would seem, that as early as 1778, they had a committee of health and safety. It is related that at a town meeting it was voted that Captain (Dr.) Shepard may have his family inoculated in his house if he will give good obligations for his good behavior, and he may let others of the town as long as May 1st and no longer, that any person may have liberty to have small pox by inoculation the fall, at proper place as the town judge best. The Coat of Arms of the English Waltons was a stone wall. The Motto, "Virtue is a strong wall." | Walton, Andrew (I25387)

| 7449 | SOURCES DuPuy Family Papers, Genealogical Guide 1963 Manuscript Collection, Virginia Historical Society, Richmond, VA The Huguenot Bartholomew Dupuy and His Descendants by Rev. B. H. Dupuy, Page 178 Copyright 1908 by Rev. B. H. Dupuy Dupuy Family papers which were donated to the Virginia Historical Society include a genealogical guide, compiled in 1963. It states that Bartholomew and his wife, Suzanne, fled from France in 1685 as Huguenot refugees, finally migrating to Virginia in 1700. Bartholomew Dupuy descended from Alleman, the oldest son of the Crusader, Hugo Dupuy. He was probably born in the Provence of Languedoc. By virtue of his descent, he had an heired title of "Count". When Bartholomew was eighteen years of age, he enlisted in the French army as a common soldier. He served for fourteen years, during which he fought fourteen pitched battles as well as skirmishes and duels. He also won the admiration and confidence of King Luis XIV; so, he was promoted to Lieutenant, and transferred to the King's household guards. While in the King's service, he was provided with a written pass containing the signature of the King, which prohibited any one from molesting his progress. He married Susanna Lavillon in 1685, a young Countess of noble standing, and of the Huguenot faith. A detailed account of the experiences which he and his wife endured during the short time they remained in France after the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes, and of their escape in December of 1685 is given in "The Story of the Huguenot's Sword" which was published in "Harper's New Monthly Magazine" of April 1857. The author of this story was John Esten Cooke. The sword, a possession of Bartholomew since the time of his service, was what was known as a short sword with a triangular blade, not exceeding three feet in length. He wore it at the waist; and was wearing it on the evening upon which Captain Jarnilloc, backed by soldiers, came to his home at his chateau at Velours in Saintogne. But, Dupuy was also armed with a piece of parchment which stated that any annoyance of Dupuy would be at the peril of any officer who commanded it as this was the Royal Will of the King, which would be in effect until the first of December 1685; and, this directive was signed "Louis". The Dragoon had hoped to arrest Dupuy on a charge of heresy for his Huguenot beliefs. Others throughout the country were not only being persecuted, but beaten, robbed, tortured, and killed if they did not profess the Catholic faith on the spot. He now backed down; but not without searching the premises for any other heretics that might be hiding on Dupuy's property. Dupuy's friend, Msr. Fontaine, escaped discovery in the secret room where Bartholomew had hidden him just upon the Dragoon's arrival. Captain Jarnilloc and his company left, defeated for the moment. Bartholomew had been planning his family's escape during the few short months since the Revocation had taken place. He now sent his friend, Fontaine, ahead with his betrothed, Anne Boursiquot, her sister, Elizabeth Boursiquot, and his little niece, Jeannette Forestier. He gave him instructions where to travel, finally ending up at the brig Portsmouth, which would carry him and his little troupe to England, where he was to await Dupuy and his family's arrival. Not thirty minutes after Fontaine's departure, Captain Jarnilloc returned, determined to smoke out the heretics that he felt sure were there. Dupuy informed him that they had left; and, he was immediately off in pursuit. However, Dupuy followed him, eventually catching up and challenging him with his short sword, soundly wounding him, but not mortally......just enough to interrupt the pursuit of Fontaine and his company. Fontaine's subsequent adventure was frightful as he and his charges were left an extra day waiting for the boat Captain to leave. It became too dangerous and the Captain told him that he could not help him. Fontaine was forced to leave and travel along the coast, hoping to reconnect with the Portsmouth. However, unremitting patrols looking for escaping Huguenots continued to range about making it impossible to hail the ship from the shore. Another whole day passed in this manner before, only by the Grace of God, they were able to board the ship, whereupon Fontaine fell upon his knees thanking the Lord above. Meanwhile, Dupuy was to meet with the local Catholic Cure to listen to his appeal for him to abjure and become a Catholic. Their arguments went on for hours with the Cure finally agreeing to withhold informing upon Dupuy until the day after the King's amnesty would expire. The following morning, Dupuy sold his estate to Seigneur Agoust for one third of it's value in gold. He then bought a Page's costume for his wife and returned home whereupon they readied themselves to flee, he clad in his uniform as king's guardsman, with his trusty sword thrust into his belt. Upon their heels came the Dragoons as Agoust had betrayed them to Captain Jarnilloc. Jarnilloc raced after them and finally intercepted their trail. He then fired his pistol at them. The ball missed Dupuy; but, struck his wife in the chest. At this, Dupuy shot Jarnilloc straight through the heart. He grabbed his wife's horse's bridle and galloped away. He was shocked to see Susanna all of a sudden sit up erect, finding that she had not been wounded as the ball had been stopped by her book of psalms which she carried in her bosom. Further adventures were helped along by the letter from the King, as most people met could not read; but could only recognize the Royal Seal. They continued on into Germany and relative safety. Next, they traveled to England, where they stayed until 1700, finally coming to America and settling in Virginia. The sword came to America, too, where it was passed down, and was long treasured as an heirloom by his descendants from his grandson, John Bartholomew. It was worn in the Revolutionary War by Capt. James Dupuy of Nottoway County, Virginia; and, he, in turn left it to his grandson, Dr. John James Dupuy, son of Dr. William Jones Dupuy. It was lost in a raid by Federal troops during the Civil War by this last owner. It had been left at his mother-in-law's house, which was pillaged and burnt to the ground. Whether the sword was burned in the house or carried off by Federal troops is unknown.
