Other Events and Attributes:

Notes:

Joseph Echols (1735-1789) married first Elizabeth King and second in 1772, Elizabeth Street. On 20 September 1751 Joseph and Isaac Echols obtained individual patents to land on Straightstone Creek in Lunenburg County. We presume this was this Joseph Echols and his brother. Joseph's patent was for 400 acres. We speculate that he was the same Joseph Echols who had a patent for 272 acres in Lunenburg County on both sides of Sandy Creek in 1756. A cousin and uncle of the same name were in the area. As Joseph Echols Jr he had a patent for a 13-acre island in the Staunton River 29 November 1756. In 1785 the plantation upon which Joseph lived had nine cabins, including a 640-square foot dwelling and a mill. Ten whites were then in his family. Joseph was dead by 1792, intestate, and the court granted Obediah Echols administration. A chancery suit and the division of land of Joseph Echols in 1794 reveals the names of his surviving 12 children.

1 Obediah Echols married Nanny Franklin in Halifax County 7 September 1805.
2 Sarah Echols
3 John Echols
4 Rhoda Echols
4 Drusilla Echols
6 Mary Echols
7 Joseph Echols married Elizabeth Lambeth, a daughter of Meredith Lambeth, in Campbell County 6 June (bond) 1814.
8 Abraham Echols was a resident of Monongalia County, now West Virginia, in 1797 when he sold his inheritance to James Echols of Bedford County.
9 Rebecca Echols was in Hawkins County, Tennessee in 1797 when she sold her inheritance to James Echols.
10 Tabitha Echols married Elijah Lacy in Halifax County 12 January (bond) 1802.
11 David Echols (14 Jan. 1776 - 18 Feb. 1854) married Diana Tribble (14 Jan. 1784 - 12 May 1848), a daughter of James Tribble, in Halifax County 29 May (bond) 1802. They were the parents of eleven children born 1803-1823.
12 Moses Echols married Elizabeth Hicks in Campbell County 9 February (bond) 1807.
13 Judith Echols , a daughter of Joseph Echols, married Benjamin Gosnell in Halifax County 24 March (bond) 1788. She evidently died before the distribution of her father's estate.

I have that Dinah Tribble was the daughter of James Tribble and ? (perhaps a Collins*). Her father married (2) Nancy (Spurbanks?) on Apr 17, 1802 in Halifax Co, VA. Dinah's siblings were:
1. Tabitha Tribble - married (1) Thomas Word; (2) Richard Horn (I have more information of this branch)
2. Isaac Tribble
3. Ann Tribble
4. Mary "Polly" Tribble - married Glennis Blankenship
* I have an old letter from a distant relative that indicates that Tabitha had said her Mother was a "Collins".
I haven't been able to find out if this is correct or not.

Notes:

Hannah Thomas & Darius Jasper Echols
Unconfirmed story about the relationship of Hannah Thomas and Darius Jasper Echols. Apparently Hannah Thomas gave birth to 9 children while unmarried. The father of these children was Darius Jasper Echols, who was married to another woman at the time. After Darius' wife died and the children grown, he married Hannah in 1863. Hannah and Darius were prosectued for fornication and adultery when he was 77 and she was 51. They refused to stop living together. There apparently is a court order confirming the children born to Hannah are illegitimate.



Darius Echols (1779-1866) paternity established with DNA.

Darius Echols, b. 1779 in Halifax Co., VA, d. 1 May, 1866 in Habersham Co., GA had 14 children with his wife Tabitha Whitworth. There has been strong circumstantial evidence that he fathered nine children with Hannah Thomas and several children with Obedience Gazaway. We now have the DNA proof to establish that Darius was in fact the father of the children of Hannah Thomas and Obedience Gazaway.

In 1817, James Perry Gazaway was born as a result of a liaison between Echols and Obedience. This child later changed his legal name to Echols in 1854 and all of his male descendants bear the name of Echols.

In 1821-1822, Darius Echols began a relationship with Hannah Thomas that was to continue for over 40 years and produce 9 children, beginning with James Wyly Thomas in 1822. The circumstantial evidence pointing to his paternity includes the following:

1) Echols was appointed guardian of Hannah's first three children who were listed as "illegitimates;"
2) Two of the children, Elizabeth and Thomas, changed their last names to Echols, and a third, Newton, used it on occasion, and gave the Echols name to his own second (illegitimate) family;
3) Both Darius and Hannah were indicted and convicted of fornication and adultery with each other in 1852;
4) They lived next door to each other, and were living together in 1860 after Darius' wife, Tabitha, had moved out to live with her son in another county;
5) In 1863, after Tabitha's death, they married;
6) One of Hannah's son's descendants has passed the story down through the family that they are not "Thomases", but rather, they are "Echolses" and are descended from Darius Echols.

In 2014, a descendant in the male line from one of Hannah Thomas' sons, Darius Jasper Thomas, took the Family Tree Maker DNA test and matched on 66 out of 67 markers with a descendant of James Perry Gazaway Echols, son of Obedience Gazaway. They also match with a descendant of Joshua Echols, who was in Darius Echols' line, and they match with eight other Echols men who are in this Echols line which appear to descend from the immigrant John Echols and Mary Cave.

In 2015, two descendants of Newton Cleveland Thomas took the Ancestry.com DNA test and match with several descendants of Joshua Echols, father of Darious Echols, and with his children from his first wife Tabitha Whitworth.

In addition, Darius Echols and all his male line are in the Haplogroup I1, which is a rare group which originated from one ancestor over 5000 years ago from Denmark. Many British men belong to this group because of the Viking invasions and settlements on the coast.


Darius Echols was sheriff and also Justice of the Peace at different times in Habersham County, Georgia.

In the early 1800's Darius paid the taxes in Franklin County, Georgia for a woman named Elizabeth Wisdom. One son of this Elizabeth Wisdom had his name legally changed to Echols in Forsyth County, Georgia.

Hannah Thomas is said to have been the widow of a Revolutionary Soldier on one land lottery. If so she must have married a much older man. She was born about 1804 and if she married in 1820 she would have been 16 and the revolutionary soldier would have to be about 60. If this marriage did occur the man must have died shortly afterward because she is listed alone on all census and other records.

Hannah was quite a woman. With her headright land and land lottery lands she had quite a lot of acreage. She conducted all her own business and seemed to be a very independent woman. Darius was always close by and they had a long-standing relationship.

Hannah's first three children were James Wyly Thomas born in 1822, Martin Riley Thomas born in 1823 and Clary born in about 1825. In an 1834 court record these children were referred to as illegitimate. In 1834, Darius Echols was named as Guardian of the illegitimates of Hannah Thomas.

Browning Thomas, a great grandson of Hannah Thomas through her son Darius Jasper Thomas, had a much older half brother who was born in 1896. During a visit in 1987, this older half brother told Browning that they were "really Echols, not Thomases" and that his search for Thomases would prove fruitless. At the time Browning became so angry that he quit researching for several years.

Hannah had drawn land "for minors" in 1827. She also drew land in 1832 as a widow of a revolutionary war soldier. As stated earlier Hannah was quite independent and managed her property and business affairs personally.

No marriage record prior to 1863 has ever been found for Hannah Thomas. Hannah gave birth to Sarah in 1828 followed by Elizabeth in 1830. Elizabeth married E. B. Beard September 13, 1849 in Habersham County, Georgia. They later moved to Jefferson County, Alabama. No death record has been found for Elizabeth but on the death certificate of her son it gives her maiden name as Elizabeth Echols.

These first five children, James Wyly, Martin, Clary, Sarah, and Elizabeth all bought lot number 43 in the 12th district of Habersham County, Georgia from a Fleming Bates for $300. Their guardian was Darius Echols, who signed the deed as Justice of the peace.

Hannah has not been found on the 1830 census. Either she was not interviewed or she was living in another household.

Hannah continued to have children. She had Melissa "Lissy" in 1834, then Darius Jasper in 1835, Newton Cleveland in 1837 and Thomas Benton in 1841.

The 1840 census shows Hannah Thomas as head of household, living next door to Darius Echols. She has two males under 5 years of age (Darius Jasper and Newton Cleveland), two males 15 to 20 (James Wyly and Martin Riley), two females 5 to 10 (Elizabeth and Melissa) and two females 10 to 15 (Clary and Sarah).

Darius Echols and Hannah Thomas were charged with Fornication and Adultery (a married man living with a single woman) on 1 October 1855 and on Diverse other occasions before and after that date. Hannah pleaded guilty and was fined $10 and ordered to remain in jail until the fine was paid. Darius pleaded not guilty and was found guilty in court.

By 1860 Darius and Hannah were still living together and Darius' wife was living with her son in Alabama. By 1863 Darius' wife must have died because Darius and Hannah were finally married.

The last son of Hannah Thomas changed his name from Thomas Benton Thomas to Thomas Benton Echols in later life. It is not known how many of Hannah's children went by Echols. It is known that Elizabeth, born in 1830 and Thomas born about 1845 both went by Echols in later life.

The evidence is overwhelming that Darius was the father of most, if not all of Hannah's children.

Notes:

Harriet Echols, also came from Pittsylvania County, Virginia to Marshall County, Mississippi, in the late 1830s. Jeremiah and Harriet were third cousins. Their line of descent goes back to "Old" John Echols and Mary Cave; Jeremiah descending from John and Mary's son, William I, through William II and William III; and Harriet descending from John and Mary's son, Abraham, through Joseph Echols and Elizabeth Street and their son, David Echols and Dinah Tribble who married 3 June 1802. When Jeremiah and Harriet married in Marshall County, Mississippi, on 12 October 1841, they made their home in the adjoining cunty, which was then DeSoto County, 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 see about. 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. In the 1990's I went into that area to locate the land and the cemetery. The church had been gone many, many years; but I learned that the cemetery had been destroyed in abut 1937 when a new road was cut through. An elderly gentleman who owned and lived on some of the land that Harriet had bouhgt in 1856, showed me where the cemetery had been. He lived there in 1937 when the road came through. I asked him about the tombstones, and he told me they were simply covered over with dirt scraped from the hillside as the road was made.

Harriet married Jeremiah Echols on 12 Oct 1841 in , Marshall, Mississippi, USA. Jeremiah (son of William Echols and Mary Elizabeth Farmer) was born on 28 Aug 1811 in , Pittsylvania, Virginia, USA; died on 10 May 1850 in , DeSoto, Mississippi, USA; was buried in Chulahoma, Marshall, Mississippi, USA.

John Echols & Mary Jane Caperton - 20 Nov 1844

JOHN ECHOLS (1823?1896)

John Echols (20 March 1823?24 May 1896), member of the Convention of 1861 and Confederate army officer, was born in Lynchburg and was the son of Joseph Echols and Elizabeth Frances Lambeth Echols. After graduating from Washington College (later Washington and Lee University) in 1840, he enrolled that summer at the Virginia Military Institute. Echols resigned from VMI on 14 August 1841 but later was made an honorary graduate of the Class of 1843. He also studied law at Harvard College.

After a brief stint teaching in Harrisonburg, Echols was admitted to the bar in Rockbridge County in October 1843. He practiced law in Staunton before moving to Monroe County. There Echols executed a marriage bond on 20 November 1844 and on that date or soon afterward married Mary Jane Caperton, whose father Hugh Caperton had sat in the House of Representatives for a single term. Their one daughter and two sons included Edward Echols, who served as lieutenant governor of Virginia from 1898 to 1902.

Echols served as commonwealth's attorney and in December 1851 won election as a Whig representing Monroe County in the House of Delegates during the sessions that met from January to June 1852 and from November 1852 to April 1853. He sat on the Committee on Roads and Internal Navigation and on joint committees to examine the treasurer's accounts and for the protection of slave property and for the removal of free blacks from the state. At the time of the 1850 census he owned two adult and three young slaves, and a decade later he owned four adult and two young slaves.

The Convention of 1861

On 4 February 1861 Echols and his brother-in-law Allen Taylor Caperton were chosen to represent Monroe County in a convention called to determine Virginia's response to the secession crisis. He sat on the Committees on Finance and on Military Affairs. On 1 March he offered resolutions calling on Congress to recognize the Confederate States as an independent nation. Echols sided with the majority voting against secession on 4 April. Following the firing on Fort Sumter and Abraham Lincoln's call for troops to suppress the rebellion, he voted on 17 April for secession, and in a speech several days later he called for sound planning and efficient military organization. Echols later signed the Ordinance of Secession. He resigned from the convention on 11 November, before the third and final session met.

The Civil War

On 30 May 1861 Echols was commissioned a lieutenant colonel in the 27th Regiment Virginia Infantry, which he had organized and which fought as part of the Stonewall Brigade. In part because of his actions commanding the regiment at the First Battle of Manassas (Bull Run) on 21 July, he won promotion to colonel on 14 October. Echols received severe wounds in his arm and shoulder at the First Battle of Kernstown, near Winchester, on 23 March 1862 but returned to service after being promoted to brigadier general on 18 April, to date from 16 April. He then served under Major General William Wing Loring, whom he succeeded as commander of the Department of Western Virginia and East Tennessee, operating in the Kanawha valley.

Citing ill health, Echols tendered his resignation as brigadier general on 30 June 1863, a request approved on 3 July but then disallowed. He sat on a board of inquiry investigating the Confederate failure at Vicksburg and in November commanded troops in the Confederate defeat at the Battle of Droop Mountain, in West Virginia. On 15 May 1864 Echols fought at the Battle of New Market and then marched to reinforce Confederate troops defending Richmond. He led his regiments at the Battle of Cold Harbor late in May and early in June. Threatening Washington, D.C., on 9 July 1864 Echols commanded a brigade at the Battle of Monocacy, near Frederick, Maryland.

During the autumn and winter of 1864, Echols deployed troops to Floyd County to suppress Confederate deserters and their secret Unionist supporters. On 29 March 1865 he was reappointed commander of the Department of Western Virginia and East Tennessee. Following the Army of Northern Virginia's surrender at Appomattox Court House on 9 April, Echols led a band of cavalrymen who escorted Confederate president Jefferson Davis from Salisbury to Charlotte, North Carolina. Echols was paroled at Greensboro on 1 May 1865, took the amnesty oath on 13 June, and received a presidential pardon on 4 November.

Restoration and Ratification

After the Civil War, Echols moved to Staunton and resumed practicing law. Beginning in December 1868 he worked closely with several other prominent residents of Augusta County to broker a compromise ending Reconstruction in Virginia and easing the state's readmission to the Union. Echols helped select the delegates (later informally designated the Committee of Nine) who arranged with the president and key members of Congress for ratification of a new state constitution that restored voting rights for former Confederates and that guaranteed suffrage rights for African American men.

In November 1877 Augusta County voters elected Echols to the House of Delegates, where he chaired the Committee on Militia and Police and sat on the Committees on Asylums and Prisons and on Finance. An opponent of readjusting the state debt, he won reelection in 1879, this time also representing Staunton. Echols continued on the Committees on Asylums and Prisons and on Finance and joined the Committee on Banks, Currency and Commerce. He was a Democratic presidential elector at large in 1880. He had served on the VMI board of visitors from 1858 to 1861, and in June 1869 he was appointed to the board of trustees of Washington College, on which he sat until his death. Echols became receiver and general manager of the Chesapeake, Ohio and Southwestern Railroad Company and president of the National Valley Bank of Staunton. Because of his duties in the former position, he spent a good deal of time in Louisville, Kentucky, working closely with the railroad magnate Collis Potter Huntington.

Echols's wife died on 6 October 1874, and sometime before June 1880 he married Mary Cochran Reid, a widow from New York City with three children. They had no children. John Echols died of Bright's disease, a kidney ailment, at the home of his son in Staunton on 24 May 1896. He was buried in Thornrose Cemetery, in that city.

Winston Echols & Nancy Burks

Winston Echols was born in 1820 in Georgia to Samuel Echols and Elizabeth Wood. He migrated to Jefferson County, Albama before 1830, where he was married on July 24, 1839 to Nancy Burks, born in Georgia in 1826. The Echols were apparently a well-to-do Southern family with plantations and slaves, but it appears that Winston did not benefit from his family’s prior wealth, as he is listed as an illiterate laborer in Jonesboro, Alabama in 1850. Winston and Nancy had at least five children: William, Harvey, Critton, Caroline, and Samuel. Census records show that Winston was a farmer and resided in Jefferson County through at least 1880, the last known record for Winston and his wife.

Notes:

I am interested in a man named Darius Echols, who was sheriff and also Justice of the Peace at different times in Habersham County, Georgia.

Apparently Darius must have been quite the ladies' man. I have been told by one researcher that, in the early 1800's Darius paid the taxes in Franklin County, Georgia for a woman named El;izabeth Wisdom. One son of this Elizabeth Wisdom had his named legally changed to Echols in Forsyth County, Georgia. I have not researched this information and can not verify the accuracy iof it.

My ancestor is named Hannah Thomas. She is said to have been the widow of a Revolutionary Soldier on one land lottery. If this is true than she must have married a much older man. She was born about 1804 and if we assume that she married in 1820 she would have been 16 and the revolutionary soldier would have to be about 60. If this marriage did occur the man must have died shortly afterward because she is listed alone on all census and other records.

Hannah must have been quite a woman. With her headright land and land lottery lands she had quite a lot of acreage. Also she conducted all her own business and seemed to be a very independent woman. Darius was always close by however and thay had along-standing relationship.

Hannah's first three children were James Wyly Thomas born in 1822, Martin Riley Thomas born in 1823 and Clary born in about 1825. In an 1834 court record these children were referred to as illegitimate. Martin Riley Thomas was my great-great grandfather. In 1834, Darius Echols was named as Guardian of the illegitimates of Hannah Thomas.

Browning Thomas, a great grandson of Hannah Thomas through her son Darius Jasper Thomas, had a much older half brother who was born in 1896. During a visit in 1987, this older half brother told Browning that they were "really Echols, not Thomases" and that his search for Thomases would prove fruitless. At the time Browning became so angry that he quit researching for several years.

Hannah had drawn land "for minors" in 1827. She also drew land in 1832 as a widow of a revolutionary war soldier. As stated earlier Hannah was quite independent and managed her property and business affairs personally.

No marriage record prior to 1863 has ever been found for Hannah Thomas. Hannah gave birth to Sarah in 1828 followed by Elizabeth in 1830. Elizabeth married E. B. Beard September 13, 1849 in Habersham County, Georgia. They later moved to Jefferson County, Alabama. No death record has been found for Elizabeth but on the death certificate of her son it gives her maiden name as Elizabeth Echols.

These first five children, James Wyly, Martin, Clary, Sarah, and Elizabeth all bought lot number 43 in the 12th district of Habersham County, Georgia from a Fleming Bates for $300. Their guardian was Darius Echols, who signed the deed as Justice of the peace.

Hannah has not been found on the 1830 census. Either she was not interviewed or she was living in another household.

Hannah continued to have children. She had Melissa "Lissy" in 1834, then Darius Jasper in 1835, Newton Cleveland in 1837 and Thomas Benton in 1841.

The 1840 census (page 143) shows Hannah Thomas as head of household, living next door to Darius Echols. She has two males under 5 years of age (Darius Jasper and Newton Cleveland), two males 15 to 20 (James Wyly and Martin Riley), two females 5 to 10 (Elizabeth and Melissa) and two females 10 to 15 (Clary and Sarah).

Darius Echols and Hannah Thomas were charged with Fornication and Adultery (a married man living with a single woman) on 1 October 1855 and on Diverse other occasions before and after that date. Hannah pleaded guilty and was fined $10 and ordered to remain in jail until the fine was paid. Darius pleaded not guilty and was found guilty in court.

By 1860 Darius and Hannah were still living together and Darius' wife was living with her son in Alabama. By 1863 Darius' wife must have died becuase Darius and Hannah were finally married.

The last son of Hannah Thomas changed his name from Thomas Benton Thomas to Thomas Benton Echols in later life. It is not known how many of Hannah's children went by Echols. It is known that Elizabeth, born in 1830 and Thomas born about 1845 both went by Echols in later life.

The evidence is overwhelming that Darius was the father of most, if not all of Hannah's children. If Darius was not the father of all of her children then there is no way of knowing who the father was or if maybe they all had different fathers.
