  • Notes 
    • William Marchbanks Sr 1746-1812 and Mollie Smith had the following children: Johnston, William Jr, Josiah, Jonathan, Elijah, George, Joseph, Burwell/Burrell, Sally, Susan, Mary, Jane #2, and Ursula/Netty. Source: Manuscript by Boling Feltz Marchbanks and his family journal written in the 1920s.

      1796 - William Marchbanks and Jonas Hill witnessed the sale of a slave by Henry Hill to Benjamin Barton in 1796. William Marchbanks also witnessed a 1796 deed in which Jonas Hill sold Samuel Bradcut 200 acres on Wolf Creek of 12-mile River. This was part of a 300 acre tract Jonas bought for 70 pounds English currency from Benjamin Perry in 1792. It is not known what Jonas ever did with the other 100 acres.

      1801 - William Marchbanks Jr appears in Smith County, Tennessee 18 March 1801 when he appointed Benjamin Barton of Pendleton District, South Carolina as his Power of Attorney as administrator of the Estate of William Young, deceased, his father-in-law. Witnesses: James Jett, Joshua Barton, & Samuel Smith. Benjamin Barton lived up the road from Jonas Hill and William Marchbanks in 1790 Pendleton District, South Carolina.

      Note: Jonas Hill's Rev War application states that he lived in Overton County, Tennessee for two years, probably from its formation in 1806 until sometime in 1808. He is found there 22 July 1808 witnessing a deed transaction for William Marchbanks Jr after having married Mary Barnes the previous month on 02 June 1808. Jonas, Mary, and his children by previous marriages, probably moved to Franklin County, Tennessee sometime before the end of that year.

      1805 Witness to Deed: Jonas Hill witnessed a deed transaction in which William Marchbanks Sr sold land in the Pendleton District, South Carolina on 30 May 1805.

      1807 - Power of Attorney: William Marchbanks Jrappoints James Jett as power of attorney for the estate of William Young. Witnessed by Jonas Hill 04 Oct 1807 in Overton County, Tennessee.

      1808 - Witness to Deed: Jonas Hill and Nathaniel Newman witness a deed 22 July 1808 in which James Lett of Pendleton District, South Carolina sells to William Marchbanks Jr of the State of Tennessee, a tract or plantation of land on a prong of 12-Mile River containing 115 acres of land. Recorded 01 Aug 1808

      1832 - An affidavit signed by Henry Hill in Morgan County, Alabama stated that "his brother Jonas Hill, formally of Surry County, North Carolina was a soldier in the United States service during the Revolutionary War." Burwell Marchbanks, son of William Marchbanks Sr, signed as a character witness for Henry Hill. Burwell Marchbanks lived near Henry Hill in Morgan County, Alabama in 1840 and 1850. The 1850 census for Somerville, Division 9, Household #166 shows Burrell Marchbanks born 1782 SC, Sarah born 1785 GA, Priscill B born 1827 AL, Sarah J born 1830 AL, Martha born 1843 AL, and Charles W born 1844 AL. They lived three households from William Harwood born 1803 SC and wife Celestia born 1813 GA. Burrell's wife's (Sarah) maiden name was Harwood, so William Harwood must have been related. Henry Hill born 1772 NC and Sarah born 1772 SC are shown in Somerville, Division 9, Household #328.

      1850 - Josiah Marchbanks born 1772 (son of William Sr) died in Algood, Overton County, Tennessee in 1850. Shortly after this, his wife, Margaret and her familey decided to continue with their plans to move to Texas. Most of them settled in Ellis and Johnson Counties, Texas. James C and his brothers Burton and Jasper bought land in Hopkins County, Texas. Jasper appears to have later moved to Red River County and Burton was killed in the Civil War.

      1853 - James C Marchbanks, son of Josiah, married Nancy Richie of Hopkins County on 05 Oct 1853, and lived the rest of his life in that County. Johnson Hill, the g/grandfather of the compiler of the data for this story, had moved from Rusk County, Texas sometime between 1854 and 1860.

      Note; Between 1979 and 1983, one of the cousins of the compiler of this story and data corresponded with a Mrs Grace Hill Galloway of Gridley, California. She told him that she was the g/grandaughter of Bailey Marchbanks Hill who was born in Tennessee and married Martha Kuykendall circa 1876/77. He had been married before but she did not kinow his wife's name. According to her, Bailey lived in Dallas County, Texas in 1860 Parker County, Texas in 1870, Gregg County, Texas in 1876 (where son Ransom Isaac Hill was born), and in Palo Pinto County, Texas in 1880. Bailey was killed in Palo Pinto as a result of a runaway team of horses in 1882/83. He "came from a family that raised horses for the Army" according to Mrs Galloway.

      Note: A similar story appears in "Boling Feltz Marchbanks History". Josiah Marchbanks' son, Ransom P., was killed in 1874 after being thrown from a wagon being pulled by a team of run-away horses "near or at the Dallas Bridge". His body was buried in Waxahachie, Texas.
