Notes

Thornton F Irons, the youngest son of James Irons was born on 8-22-1834 in Washington Township,Harrison Co. Ohio. Thornton was raised in an apparentley very well to do farming family. The family owned over 400 acrs of land. Little is known about is youth, but most of the time was probably spent helping the family maintain and run the farm, especially considering the advanced age of his parents. They were in their middle to late forties when they had their children.

Thornton was 20 yrs old when his father died in Iowa on a trip west with an older brother to buy land. As a minor child, his older brother William was appointed as guardian and his uncle James provided the suriety. Bounty land due his father, through an 1850's act of Congress was applied for and received by Thornton. No estate record or will for his father has been located. So there appears to have been a peaceful division of his parents property, because of the many joint and individual sales of the property owned by James.

Thornton married Rebecca Norris, daughter of Alexander and Christina (Spiker) Norris on 4-17-1856 in Harrison Co. Oh.. Their family was very large and consisted of 7 children. They moved to Sullivan Co. In. around 1864 to 1868. Why is not known though they moved with several other families from Harrison Co.

Children:
James H. died 11-251876 young
Alexander M. died 3-22-1876 young
William Mc. died 8-31-1937 m Anna I Todd 4-18-1889
Hatie E died 4- -1936 m Austin Lambright 10-14-1883

Francis F died 10-2-1947 m. Susan McBride
Lillie M died 11-4-1915 m. Henry Worth 3-22-1894

The first 4 children were born in Oh. all were married in Sullivan Co. In. except Viola who was married in Illinois. Thornton bought a tract of land from
Enoch Sexton in May of 1867. They settled in Cass Twp. in the now non-existent town of Gilmour, interestingly close to their home in Oh was also a town of Gilmour. Sullivan Co. History says the town was named after a local mining superintendent. The cross roads still known locally as Gilmour is about half way between Dugger and Jasonville. At the cross roads in the south west corner is a house that John A Irons visited and remembers as being the home of his grandparents. As of 1995 the house was still standing. Thornton made several purchases of land in Sullivan Co. What the F stands for in his name is not made clear anywhere, but his son Francis' middle name is Flemons.

[NI0023] James Irons, son of Thomas Irons was born in Allegany Co. Md.. The actual date depends on the source. The grave marker indicates he was born on 11-21-1782. He died 5-2-1851, age 68 yrs, 6 months, and 11 days. He listed his age in the 1850 Oh census as 61 yrs, which means he was born 1789. I feel the most reliable source is a bounty land warrant for the War of 1812 in which he state his age as 64 yrs. on the 22 day of October during the year 1850, which means he was born in 1786 or the last 3 months of 1785. James grew up in the rugged mountain wilderness of western Md.. At the age of 27 he was drafted into the Md militia. He saw service as a private, even celebrating his 28 birthday in service. He was a member of Captain Thomas Blair's Company of Infantry, 1st Regeiment Maryland Militia commanded by Col. Stoner(Steiner). Serving from 9-2-1814 to 10-30-1814, he received the pay of $8.00 per month. His discharge occurred at Baltimore, approximately 150 miles from his home. Interestingly he was paid 7 days travel time to return home. Also drafted into the same company was a Peter Irons, possibly a brother, this is the only mention of this individual located. James received bounty land in Ohio for his service, 40 acres, Warrant #12922. There was also a James Irons who served as a private in Captain George O'Briant"s Company of Ohio Militia from July 28 to August 24 1813. No mention of this service is found in any located papers and no census or tax records in Ohio support another James Irons. So is possible they are the same individual.

The first census listing of James Irons is the 1830 Ohio, Harrison Co., Washington Twp. one. He lists his age as 40-50 and has living with him a male 0-5, a female 15-20, and a female 20-30. The female 15-20 is a mystery, possibly a sister of his wife?

James purchased land in Harrison Co. on 2-7-1820 and listed his residence as Allegany Co. Md. His brother Thomas made his first purchase in 1825. There are no 1820 Census listings in Ohio for Thomas. The 1820 Allegany Co. Md. census has a male the proper age living with his father Thomas.
He married Eleanor (Nellie) Cree in 1827 or 1828, no record located, probably in Greene Co. Pa.. Her parents Robert and Elizabeth (Villars) Cree resided there and did not move to Ohio. Thomas and Eleanor settled on land, the N E sec. of 29.12.7 in Harrison Co. Oh.. They made the move along with James' brother Thomas and his sister Nancy, who all settled in Harrison Co..
The property lies north of Tippecanoe Oh. about a mile, along the banks of Stillwater Creek. The original purchase of 160 acres was added to until approximately 400 acres total was added to the estate. Interestingly, the value of the land as listed on the 1850 census was for $3000.00, a very large amount for those days. James and Eleanor accrued considerable property in Harrison Co. Their heirs distributed or sold over 401 1/2 acres, with deed transfers recorded in 1860 having a total value of $7,164.00. The last purchase was for a lot #14 in the town of Tippecanoe on 7-9-1852, approximately a year before the death of Eleanor.(A picture of the house now on the lot is in folder) The family appeared to be well to do with this much land, the move to town may have been due to health.

Their children were: William who m. Margaret H. (?), and eventually settled in Marion Co. Iowa with a family of 5(one son named Thornton); Thomas m. Permela Markee, and remained in Harrison Co. with a family of at least 5; Emily m. James Cree and settled in Illinois with a family of 2; Thornton F. m. Rebecca Norris and settled in Sullivan Co. In. with a family of 7.

Some facts about the family gathered from the records are interesting. In 1850 all four children are in school. The value of accumulated property was very high. The signature of James on his bounty application, the first recorded Irons able to do this. The tendency for families to move and live together for support, besides the Irons's, Eleanor(Cree) had a brother James and 2 sisters Jenny Topin and a Mrs. Haver who lived in the same area. Also an unknown female Nancy Brown age 9 was living with James' family in 1850.

James died on 5-2-1854 and is buried in Strong Cemetery, Pleasant Twp., Lucas Co. Iowa. He died at the home of a Joseph Quillen on a trip west to apparently buy land. The eldest son William was with him and later settled in Lucas Co. Iowa. I am amazed that a man of 68 years would make such a trip. Eleanor died on 10-3-1853, age 59 yrs, 5 months, 13 days. She is buried in Mayes Cemetery, Harrison Co. Oh.. The cemetery is located on a high hill west of Tippecanoe, Oh., across Stillwater Creek.(pictures of Cemetery and marker).

Thornton was a minor when both of his parents died and William the oldest was granted a guardianship with his uncle Thomas acting as Suriety. This legal act provides us with much of our information about the family because of the many depositions. No estate record or will for either James or Eleanor
has been located. The land appears to have been divided and sold peaceably.

The family shortly after the death of Eleanor moved in different directions. Thornton went to Sullivan Co. In. along with several other Harrison Co. residents. The Norris, Lambright, Shivers and Sexton families to name a few moved together. Why? A common thread to both areas is coal mining although none of he Irons were miners in Oh. The timing of the moves coinsides with the Civil War and the history of Sullivan Co. indicates a majority of the population were anti-slavery. There parents were certainly well to do and it would not appear that they had to move for reasons of money.

[NI0028] Thomas Irons of Allegany Co. Md. is the earliest Irons properly traced, and this is by land records. His father is probably a John Irons listed in Allegany and Fredrick Co. Md. 1790 Census and Land Records. There are other records of earlier Irons in Md, but no ties have been made. Thomas lived and died in Cumberland Twp. Allegany Co. Md., this is a very rugged and mountainous area and is scarely populated to this day. He was born probably in Md. sometime between the years 1760 and 1770. He was married by 1789, possibly by the year 1784. To whom is unknown, possibly married twice due to the age span of children. He had a large family of 10 or 11 children. He owned a large tract of land near Old Town Md. originally called Mt. Clare(Clear) on Evitt's Mountain. The source of this information comes from the will of John Conrad Beatty where he mentions the sale. Lester Irons visited this area and spoke to present day Irons' who still live there on what is now called Irons Mountain. These are decendants of Patrick son of Thomas. John Conrad Beatty in his will dated 1811 instructs his executor to sell to Thomas Irons a parcel of land, as agreed upon, when money is received. There are no indications that Thomas was related to Mr. Beatty either by birth or marriage. The property containing 132 acres was later transferred to a son of Thomas, also named Thomas on 6-19-1824.(copy of deed in file). The land does contain a cemetery or burial ground in which Patrick (above) and possibly Thomas are buried. Lester stated that there were other graves without markers and the family believed that Thomas (Sr) was buried there.

Thomas had a large family, although only 3 can be confirmed. The rest are indicated by the census counts. The estate of Thomas was administrated on 6-31-1849 with only three distrubutees, a Thomas, James(our ancestor) and Patrick. The census indicate a much larger family: in 1800 9 males and 1 female ages 0-25 (it is certainly possible that one of his older children with his wife and children is living with him). In 1810 8 males and 1 female 0-25.
1820 census 5 males and 1 female age 0-25. In 1830 6 with 2 males and 4 females -the ages/sequences change dramatically indicating a new marriage and wife with younger children or grandchildren living with him. In 1830 census Thomas list age as 60-70, yet has 3 children 0-5 and 2 age 5-10, not likely his, except age of wife changes dramatically so either a daughter with her family or a new wife with her family? Some definite possibilities are: Peter Irons b. before 1794 fought in War of 1812 with Thomas and James. No trace in Pa, Md. or Oh records is found of Peter. A John Irons b177-1780 listed in1800 census could be a son or a brother. Joseph Irons born 1790-1800 moved and settled in Oh with James and Thomas. Nancy (Irons) Norris born 1795-1800 and married Edward Norris, she also moved and settled in the same area of Oh. as Thomas and James, later settling in Ill. Family tradition states she was a sister, why not listed in estate above not know. Tradition states: "two brothers and their sister came over the mountains and settled in Oh".

[NI0034] John Harve McBride was a farmer in Sullivan Co. In. He married Mary Jane Gaskill in 1878 according to census records. One land purchase record exists, from Alfed Sills 3-9-1909 Bk 104 pg 217, NE 1/4 of NE 1/4of section 3-8-8. Both are buried at Clayborne Cemetery on the west side just inside the entrance. They had three children: William Gilbert who lived north of Gilmour, Just outside of Shakamak State Part, in fact a good portion of the land in South West Corner of Park was land purchased by John Harve McBride. In the 1970's the remainder of the land was acquired by state and incorporated into Park and lays around and underneath new lake. Susan Mae m. Francis Flemon Irons on 3-20-1902.
Alice (Aggie) Mae m. Henry Strawn on 9-1-1917. They had no children and lived in Sullivan. I have fond memories of spending a lot of time visiting them. He was a Janitor for one of the schools, their house was clean, neat, a small garden in the rear. I remember picking and eating cherry tomatoes and spending many hours laying and swinging on their front porch swing. When they died John and Jessie Irons were executors of the estate, I was allowed to purchase their car, a green 1947 Chevy, a big bulky old car, this was around 1963. Later sold car to Carl Delph in Dugger, when mother and I bought a blue Ford Galaxie, right before we married in 1965.

There is a picture of John Harve and Mary Jane in box.

[NI0038] John Gilbert McBride was born on 6-10-1818 in Anderson Co. Tn. a son of Allen McBride. He moved to In with his parents around 1820. He was married 3 times. Initially to Lousia Jerrels(Jarrels) on 12-25-1836, she died on 9-10-1845. They had 3 children: Caroline; Charles Allen who married Margaret Wright, they had 9 children and he died 8-16-1896; James Madison who m. Mary A Randoph. Very quickly John Gilbert married Elizabeth Wilson on 4-16-1846, our ancestor. They had 8 children: Barthenia (Parthenia) m Oliver Russel; John William; John Harvey m Mary J Gaskill; Lousia Catherine m Cal Tennis; Amanda (Mandy) Elizabeth; Margaet Ellen d 1864; Luvicy Ann m ? Lewellyn; Thomas S. Elizabeth Wilson McBride d 9-17-1872. John Gilbert then m Rebecca Usery on 4-15-1873 and they had 3 children; Joseph W.; Samuel Tildon; and Lousia May.

Cass Twp. was formed in 1850 and John G. McBride was one of first Trustees and also first Justice of the Peace. He owned considerable property making some 8 Purchases beginning in 1853 and the last in 1870 . (Locations and dates in file). John Gilbert is buried at Antioch Cem. there is no stone,but location is probably next to that of his 3 wives who have stones. In the folder there is a picture of John G taken by his son John Harve McBride.

[NI0055] Allen McBride was born in 1787 in Va. parents unknown. He was raised in or around Anderson Co. Tn.(He may have been born here since this was considered part of Va.. He married Polly ? in Anderson Co. Family hearsay indicated her maiden name may have Secrest. They were married by Samuel McCoy J.P.. In a pension application Polly stated: Allen served in Capt. John English Co. of East Tn Militia, drafted. Col. Samuel Bunch's Reg. as a private. She applied for pension in 3-3-1853. Allen volunteered at Jacksboro
Tn. on 4-28-1814 and was discharged at Washington, Rhea Co. Tn. 90 miles from home. Service 6-10-1814 to 7-14-1814 and six days travel. Served 6 months and 11 days. An Allen McBride is listed in Crawford Co. 1820 census.
In 1830 listed in Sullivan Co. In. Census. Also in 1830 makes his first land purchase in Sullivan Co. In. (5 land purchases in all, a total of 400 acres) This property was located south of Gilmour and north of Dugger, turn right where chicken farm was located. Allen McBride died on 10-7-1852 and is buried in Antioch Cem.(Photo of Stone). Polley died after 1853 in Sullivan Co. and is supposedly buried next to Allen although no one remembers a stone.
Allen was a gunsmith and apparently very successful. A listing of his estate is like a who's who's of Cass Twp. with numerous debts listed by gun buyers, gun parts and pieces and quiet a bit of livestock. A copy is in file.
I feel that a William McBride was probable father of Allen, no proof.

DESIGNATION: 2nd Regiment of East Tennessee Militia
DATES: January 1814 - May 1814
MEN MOSTLY FROM: Claiborne, Grainger, Washington, Jefferson, Knox, Blount, Cocke, Greene, Hawkins, Rhea, and Sevier Counties
CAPTAINS: James Allen, Amos Barron, Francis Berry, Andrew Breeden, Edward Buchanan, Moses Davis, Solomon Dobkins, Joseph Duncan, John English, Nicholas Gibbs, George Gregory, Jones Griffin, John Houk, John Howell, John McNair(McNare), Francis Register, Samuel Richerson, (Maj.)Alexander Smith, Isaac Williams, Daniel Yarnell
BRIEF HISTORY:
Andrew Jackson's official report of the Battle of Horseshoe Bend (27 March 1814) mentions that "a few companies" of Colonel Bunch were part of the right line of the American forces at this engagement. More than likely, some of those companies included Captains Francis Berry, Nicholas Gibbs (who was killed at the battle), Jones Griffin, and John McNair. In addition, muster rolls show some casualties from this battle in the companies led by Captains Moses Davis, Joseph Duncan, and John Houk. Other men from this regiment remained at Fort Williams prior to Horseshoe Bend to guard the post -- provision returns indicate that there were 283 men from Bunch's regiment at the fort at the time of the battle.

This regiment was in General George Doherty's Brigade and many of the men stayed after the enlistment expiration of May 1814 to guard the posts at Fort Strother and Fort Williams until June/July. The line of march went through Camp Ross (near present-day Chattanooga), Fort Armstrong, and Fort Jackson.

[NI0066] Andrew Gaskill was born in England, either Lincconshire or Lancashire. He came to America about 1836, first locating at Newcomerstown, Oh. where he taught school for several years and was married (Hx states 1839- marriage record 5-2-1844). After a residence of 14 yrs he sold possessions with the intent of moving to Indiana. However he became ill and died very quickly nine days later. His wife Susanna remained one year then made the journey to Indiana, settling first near Dresden in Green Co. In. She made the trip with 6 children. She bought a farm for $1200 and a team and wagon which left her a surplus of $100. But 30 days later learned there was a $500 dollar mortgage on the property and was forced to leave in 1856. She moved to Sullivan Co. and rented a place. after one year she moved to the O,M, Patton place in Jackson Twp. where she lived 1 year. She then lived with eldest son James at Samuel Badders place for 7 years. They then moved to Cass Twp. and Jackson Hill. Susanna died around 1888.

* The dates in above do not match with records although the tale is correct.
This comes from James B. Gaskill history in Sullivan Co. History.

Susanna died in 1882 and is buried at Clayborne Cemetery, Sullivan Co.
Andrew died and is buried at Bethel Cemetery, Salem Twp. Tuscawaras Co. Oh. (Pictures of both Markers) Note in file says that James B. Gaskill is buried next to John Harve McBride and that James' marker is actually where Mary J. is buried on east side next to other Gaskills.

Also copies in file of Estate records, sale records, Ohio Land tranactions, citizenship.

Andrew was possibly the brother of John Gaskill who came to Tuscawaras Co. from England in 1816 or son and a brother of Peter Gaskill.

[NI0074] Elijah Lacy was an early resident of Ohio. Serving in the War of 1812 as a substitute for a Golly Rutter(n). A muster roll dated Sept 24, 1812 lists his service for the period of Aug 18 through Oct. 18 1812. He began service on August 18, 1812 and was suspposed to serve till Feb 18, 1813, however he was listed as having deserted in September 1812( was present Sept 13).
His wife Charity West states in a pension application that they were married on Aug 25, 1814 in Harrison Co. Oh.. They had the following children: Thomas, Morris, Wesley, Elizabeth, Susanna(family source Vernal Irons). The 1850 Ohio census Tus. Co. pg. 362 lists: Marine 21 m Oh., Thomas 17 m Oh., Elijah 16 m Oh., Morris 14 m Oh., Mary A.11 f Oh.. Elijah died in the Civil War at the Battle of Wildernes Va. Charity and Elijah are buried in the Taylor Methodist Church Cemetery, Coshocton Co. Cemeteries Vol II Adams Twp.. In the records are a copy of the estate and estate record, a copy of war 1812 application and widow's pension application.

A definite family for Elijah is not known but due to others in county and other sources I feel that John Mills Lacy (b1782), Elijah (b1785), John S (b1793) were brothers and son of William Lacey b. 1764 in Del. and d. 1828 Oh. wife
Mary.

Charity was not able to write and signed the pension application with an X.

[NI0081] No proof exists that Morris West is the father of Charity West Lacy. She did name one of her sons Morris. There are only two possible fathers old enough in Ohio at that time. Robert West Sr. in 1820 census who was 45 and over and Morris West Sr. also over 45 years. He was in Greene twp.. If Charity was married in 1814 she would be at least 16yrs old and born in or about 1798. Her father then would need to be about 20yrs at least meaning he was born about 1778, so that in 1820 he would be around 45 as a minimum. Morris West is listed in 1816 Oh tax list in Harrison Co. Greene twp. Oh. No 1790 or 1800 Pa listing is found for a Morris West. A Morris West m Nancy Hudson 3-2-1819 in Harrison Co. An estate record exists for Morris West 1839 Hr c-594 (I have not located). A Morris West is buried at Bethel Church. Susanna Lacey Gaskill in the 1880 In census states that both parents were born in Oh., Charity born Oh?0000.. Known that Andrew Gaskill was born in Eng.

[NI0082] Aleexander Norris and Christiana Spiker were married on 10-14-1838 in Harrison Co. Oh. by Jacob Lemmon. There dates of birth and death can only be inferred from census records, no record or grave stones have been located. They are present only on the 1840 Harrison Co. Oh. census. Listed as 00001-11001: a male 20 to 30: female 0-5: female 5-10; and a female 20-30. On the 1850 census no record has been found but the daughter Ellen Norris age 9 is living with Christiana's father Phillip Spiker. The family bible records in my possesion indicate that they had 8 children.

[NI0091] James Brown Norris and Eleanora Knype (Knipe) were married in England.
He was son of James Norris (?) and Hannah Brown. Eleanora was daughter
of Lord Knype and Ann Dane. They had a total of 17 children 12 born in England, 1 born in Prince Edward Island, and 4 in Harrison Co. Oh.. Three infant sons and William died in England. They left England with a land Grant in Nova Scotia from the King, about 1809. There are several early land grants to the Norris family listed in public archives (personal visit by Lester Irons). In 1784,there was a grant of 34,950 acres from King Geroge III to Patrick Norris and 98 others. In 1815 there was a grant of 500 acres to James Norris and about the same time a smaller grant to James Norris Jr.. The weather was too cold and after a short stay in Md. settled in Harrison Co. Ohio, 1814-1815. They founded Norrisvile (Tippecanoe) Oh.. The Norris men were carpenters. James Brown Norris was a Mill Operator and builder.

[NI0104] Phillip Spiker was probably born in 1791 in Pa. He married Rebecca Markee
daugher of William Markee on 10-27-1814 in Harrison Co. Oh. He served in the Ohio Militia twice during the war of 1812. As a private in Capt. George Richardson's 3rd Regt. Muster roll for Aug 20 to Oct 30 1812. Roll dated Molickon Area Mansfield Oh. Oct. 29,1812 receiving $6.66 pay. Also served at Beems Block House for 2 months in Thomas Latta's Comp. discharged on 3-29-1813 at lower Sandusky Fort. He received two bounty land warrants for service and Rebecca received a Widow's pension(copies of Military records,
pension applications, etc are in file). He was unable to write and signed with an X. History of Harrison Co. indicates he owned a Hotel in Tippecanoe(Norrisville). He sold land as joint owner with Henry Spiker. He served as executor of Christian Spiker's will. There were 6 Spiker's in the area in 1820 Census Christian, Christopher, Henry,Isaac, Phillip, and Samuel.
The were probably all related and moved for Pa. to Ohio together. Best guess is that a Christian Spiker in Pa was father.

Robert Cree Jr. followed his father to Western Pa.after serving in Captain James Fisher's Cumberland Co. Militia Company in 1782.(Pa. Archives Series III, Vol. 23 pp.793) In Cumberland Co. he met and married Elizabeth Villiers.
They continued the western migration to Harrison Co. Oh. around 1810 t0 1820. Robert Cree Jr. does not appear on any Oh census records on Elizabeth, several of his brothers and sisters families made the move.
Elizabeth Cree's will written 5-21-1831 and probated 4-12-1841 named sons: Robert, George, John and James Cree. Daughters: Ann Harviour, Mary Morton, Jennet Tappin, and Ellenor Irons. Executor: James Cree Wittnesses:
Moses Wright, Ebenezer Gray, and Samuel Musgrove.
Elizabeth Cree is listed on 1798 Pa Tax list #52 Greene Co. Cumberland Twp. 1 house(16' X 14') value $75.00, 1 barn (18'X18'), 1 still house (18'X16')
adjacent to property owned by Robert Cree (value of 100 acres approx. $675).
Whether this is property of Sr. or Jr. is not known, but does indicate that Robert Jr. is probably deceased by this date? The 1810 Pa Greene Co. Cumberland Twp. 106 further supports this by having a listing for Elizabeth.

Sometime before 1781 Robert Cree Sr., left his home in the eastern part of Cumberland Co. Pa. and settled in the Tenmile Country near Shepherd's Church, where he was living when serving in Captain William Crawford's Militia Company in the arraingment for October 15,1781. It is quite evident that he was elderly man when he migrated to this part of the frontier for some of his grown children with their families accompanied him. There is not enough evidence to say that Robert Cree Sr. was the ancestor of all the Cree's in this section, but such could be the case. If not, then William Cree of Muddy Creek, the Revolutionary soldier buried on the home place and Patrick Cree listed in the tax lists for Cumberland Township in 1784, would be the exceptions. A William Cree is mentioned in the will of Robert Cree Sr., but Patrick Cree disappears from local records. It is evident that all of his children followed his migration and even his will, which was probated in Greene Co. on April 6,1823 mentions his wife, Jante, whose maiden name was probably Hamilton, as the Hamiltons were near neighbors in Cumberland Co. and he perpetuated this name in one of his sons. He is probably buried in Shepherd's Church Cemetery, where at least two of his children are buried.

[NI0133] John Wilson (Jr) son of John Wilson and Susanna Kautzman was born in Green Co. Tn. (Then Va.) in 1788. He was married three times: in Tn to Isabella Raider on 11-12-1818 by Samuel Doak. He is also listed as marrying a Fanny Sexton on 8-29-1816 in Knox Co. In. He also married a Permelia Jane Tinsley, a widow with children. He came to Indiana in or around 1820 with his brothers and mother. He died in Sullivan Co. In. before
12-26-1858, date of Will. (Bk #1,pg 96-98 I have Copy). He owned 40 acres of land N.E. 1/4 of S.W. 1/4 Sec. 9 T 6 R 8. The 1820 In Crawford Co. Census
list a John Wilson. He is listed in Sullivan Co. 1830, 1840, and 1850.
Assembling his family and who goes with which wife is difficult. Those listed in the will are: Sons: William, John, Henry, Emanual, Adam Daughters: Mahalia Price,Ann Mc Leave, Besty McBride, (Polly Ann and Sally Ann Wright-daughters of Fanny Sexton.) Matllda Wilson.

Very confusing If Knox County Marriage record correct then possible that
Betsy McBride's mother was Fanny Sexton not Isabella Raider, yet Betsy states her place of birth as Tn. Tend to believe her rather than above mixed up dates from census and marriage records.

[NI0157] John Wilson (Sr) was born on 6-16-1761 at Hampshire Co. Va. now Hardy Co. W. Va. Parents unkown. He died on 4-13-1809 in Green Co. Tn. near Greenville. He married Susanna Kautzman(Kratzman) in 1781 at Mooresfield, Hampshire Co. Va.. He served under General Washington as a private during the Revoultion. Susanna Kautzman's father was also reportedley a Revolutionary soldier. They moved to Green Co. Tn. in 1784. Susanna died in Sullivan Co. In. in July or August 1857.

[NI0159] Other source, has wife of Edward Knype as Elizabeth Hand, Married 1/2/1776Chichester, Subdeanery of Chichester or Saint Peter the Great, Sussex, England. Elizabeth Hand was b. 1745 in Prees, Shropshire, england. Daughter of Charles Hand and Martha (?)

[NI0203] In the cemetery on "Manfield" a tract of land warranted on 5-6-1789, and patented 6-13-1794, to John Villis, there has been erected in late years a modern tombstone marking the resting place of the original warrantee of the land. Beside it is an old stone partly legible which was the original marker. Unfortunately the persons who erected the new stone did not examine the records which show that the will of John Villiers was probated 5-26-1826 as the new stone bears the inscription placing the death date as 1836. The old stone nust have the read that he died in 1826 at the age of 92 years.
Thus John Villiers was born in 1734 and died in 1826, and is buried on the tract of land near Jfferson which had been warranted to him. The new stone says that he served at Fort Pitt in Lieutenant William Wither's Rangers in the Revolutionary War in the years 1776-1779. He must have been in the Tenmile prior to 1780 as his name is among those who signed a petition for the new State of "Westsylvania" in 1779. In the tax list for 1784, he refused to turn a list of his property to Washington Co, still claiming Virginia allegiance. John Villiers was married twice possibly 3 times. His first wife was Mary Dakens. although DAR records indicate the first may have been Victory Mucheloy. Mary Dakens died 10-22-1807, at the age of 64 yrs. The next wife Elizabeth ? who died 7-26-1834, at the age of 59 years. She remarried to Archibald Ewart (O.C.Docket 1,pp281). Both wives are buried withJohn Villiers. Another source suggests that Elizabeth was a widow with the married name of Ewart. The marriages of his children suggest he lived in Cumberland Co. Pa. before coming west. Villiars Cemetery is located 1/4 mile N.W. of Khedive Pa. on road from Route 21 to Jefferson. Since both wives are buried there I believe Elizabeth Ewart was a widow when she married John Villiars, the point is mute as far as my line goes since Mary
Dakens was mother of Elizabeth Villiars Cree.

World Family Finder Vol.# Lists children differently. Notes from family finder:
At the National Genealogical Society in Wash. DC.--1994 there is a member chart of John Villars and Mary Dakens. This was prepared by Julia AlisonGilcrist of Peoria, Il,. in 1972. This claims that John cme to America in 1740 and that during the Rev. he served at Ft. Pitt in Lt. William Withers Rangers 1776-1779. She submitted two charts for John Villars. The second chart lists his wife as Elizabeth Ewart (b.1775-d7-26-1834). They had 3 children: Mary b. 1809- d 9-30-1844 m. Micheal McGovern, Jane b. 2-11-1811-d. 4-24-1829, Ralph b. 1813-d 7-26-1843. One comment reports that the name
Villars may have come from the French De Viller

[NI0218] That John Irons is the father of Thomas is hypothetical. 1790 census of Md using the ages of Thomas and his sons matches nicely with the listing for John. This John was probably the son of John Irons who married Catherine Hamm in 1767 as well as possible that Thomas was a son of this marriage also. The marriage took place in QueensAnne Co. Md. John Irons of Fredrick County Md. served in Revolution(I have not located any Papers) and recieved bounty land for service. He is also of the same family as the John Irons' whose family history is given with obvious errors in the Keokuk Co. Iowa Histroy(copy in record). Copies of material related to John of Fredrick are included in notes.

[NI0225] Seth Clark was born to Anson and Sarah (Wilkens) Clark on 7-25-1831 in Sullivan Co. In. He married Sarah Myers on 12-15-1853. The had 3 children Emanuel, Nelson, and Seth. Sarah Myers died on1-10-1890. He then married
Belle Files. Seth enlisted as a Private in Co. D. 35th Ind. Vol. Inf. for the Civil War. He enlisted on 12-15-1964 and was discharged as a Sgt. on 9-30-1865.
Applied for a pension for an injury that he claimed left him invalid for the remainder of his life. While on duty near Huntsville, Alabama in February of 1865 he contracted measles which resulted in hemoorhoids. Now in lifting, walking, or in any kind of exercise it causes them to come down so as to oblige him to take to his bed. Claiming long marches from Huntsville to Knoxville, Tn and from there to Nashville, Tn. caused the problem. Various
affidavits and applications for pension are in files as well and muster roll records, etc. Seth died on 4-8-1911 in Prairie Creek Twp. Vigo Co. In.
cause of death Cerebral appoplexy-sudden death. A copy of death certificate and marriage license are in files. Also a picture of Seth Clark -Belle Files and family. Jesse Commodore Clark and Sylvia Clark (Grandmother Irons' mother).

[NI0230] Anson Clark was born in N.Y.. He came to Indiana early 1820 Sullivan Co. census. He served in the War of 1812 from New York. As a private in Captain Stephen Brace's Company, 159 Reg't New York Militia (Copy of muster in files). He served from 10-27-1814 to 11-16-1814, a total of 27 days for which he received $7.15. He was married I believe 3 times, initially to
Sarah Wilkens, who I believe was the daughter of David Wilkens. They had 4 or 5 children, David and Charles who died in infancy, Thomas (b.1828), possiblly a Mariah, and our ancestor Seth Commodore. Anson and Sarah were probably married in Sullivan county about 1815 to 1820. Anson lived in Sullivan Co. until about 1848 when he moved to Vigo Co. According to Bradsley's Hx of Vigo county, Sarah died when Seth was 3 yrs old. No stone
has been located for Anson either in Sullivan or Vigo Co..

[NI0232] David and Andrew Wilkens, brothers settled in Knox Co. In around 1809.
No proof exist of marriage or that Sarah Wilkens was his daughter, but in 1820 census he is only one with children of correct age. David and his brother served on jury duty and for security for various wills in Knox Co. from 1811 to 1815. When David removed to Sullivan Co. or where he was living aroung Merom became Sullivan Co..

[NI0233] Thomas Clark according to Hunt's " Greater Terre Haute and Vigo County" did not leave New York, although the 1820 Sullivan Co. Census lists a Thomas who would've been about the correct age. No 1830 listing exists, from various correspondence Anson's brothers and sisters came to Indiana about the same time. Possibly he returned to N.Y. Where in N.Y. is at present not known, but in Rensalaer Co., there are other Anson"s and a Thomas living in Troy.

In Correspondence with a Romona Clark (8572 W. Bowen Dr., Terre Haute) and Dorthea Edgerly (3475 N Sundown Ln, Oceanside, Ca.) Anson had the following brothers and sisters:
Justus:
Lucy:
Martia or Marcia( Clark) Rundell- m Jared Rundell in 1815/16 in N.Y. and moved to Sullivan Co. Several sources list Martia birthplace as Saratoga Co., Onondaga Co. N.Y.

[NI0239] Not much is known about John F Myers and his wife Nancy. If 1850 Vigo Co. Census in correct Myers they were born in Pa and married there. They moved to Ohio around 1835 and then to In. by 1840. A will record was filed for John Myers in 1863 no names were mentioned. This family lived in Prairie Creek Twp.. Interesting to note that in Seth's pension application one individual certified that his wife was Sarah Morgan. I have been unable to locate any Ohio or Pa. census records 1820 or 1830 with a John F. listing

[NI0247] Athel Paddock was born on 2-22-1831 in Vigo Co. In. He married twice. Initially to Mary Jane Kercheval on 12-12-1852 and second to a Permina Collins. He died on 3-22-1891 in Vigo Co. and is buried on the east side of West Lawn Cem. in Prairie Creek. Mary Jane Kercheval was born on 8-10-1835 in Vigo Co.. She died on 1-1-1865. The 1880 Census lists Athel with wife of Permina and several children with the last name of Collins and listed as his Step-childen. He probably married her between 1866 and 1868. Arrived at this by looking and ages of his youngest and her youngest child. Also interesting is that only Moses of his children is living with him. Two children John (age 22) and Harriet (age 21) are living with their fathers' sister Harriet Kercheval?

[NI0254] John Paddock was born probably in Nelson Co. Ky, although in 1850 cesus he lists his birth place as Ohio. He married in 1822 in Vigo Co. In.. Died on 9-2-1853, aged 49 yr, 3 m, 16 days. He and his wife Leathy, who died 4-3-1833, age 26 are buried in New Harmony Cem. Vigo Co.

[NI0263] Athol Ferguson served in the War of 1812 from Bulter Co. Oh. He volunteered ar Fr. Hamilton on the 1st day of May 1813 , for the term of 4-5 months and in service for about 311 days. They were married in Sullivan Co. by Joseph Thompson. Rebecca Paine Ferguson lived in Ogle Co. Ill. when she made the warrant for Bounty Land. Rebecca was the sister of Ebnezer Paddock and married originally Elijah Paine (Payne).

[NI0265] Ebenezer Paddock Sr. was born in 1740 in Maryland and died in 1830. He is supposedley buried in New Harmony Cemetery, Vigo Co. IN. He served as a soldier during the revolutionary war from Fort Pitt. He served 142 days under Capt. David Rogers. He listed his residence during the war as Augusta Va.
He married Keziah Cas about 1774 in Washeo Pa. In 1790 bought land in Nelson Co. Ky.. Then with family moved to Butler Co. Oh.. Even though he was in his 70's the family persuaded him to move to Vigo Co. In. A land entry was recorded in 9-12-1816, in Sec. 4 and Sec. 9, Twp 10, R. 10.. They apparently moved in 1818. A copy of DAR papers is in file for Ebenezer. Jessie Irons used him as her entry to DAR, her papers are also in the files.

[NI0313] Robert G Cummins "being above age of 21 yrs" took a marriage bond to marry Patience Boner on 20 Dec 1808 in Nelson Co. Ky . Suriety Wm. Livers.
Nelson Co. Marriage Bonds by Stancliff. Patience Cummins was a member of Little Flock Baptist Ch. Sullivan Co. In. in June 1821, a constituent member. Located 2 miles south of Currysville.

In 1758 his father died leaving him the home plantation, subject to a life estate in the mother and legacies to the sisters, and on 7-12-1770, John Pound and his wife Sarah conveyed this plantation by deed to Andrew Smalley, whereinit is stated that the grantor, John Pound redeived the land by will from his father Thomas Pound, who in turn had received the land by deed, dated 3-24-1736/37, from the grandfather John Pound (II), who came by it as the sole heir of his mother Winnifred, wife of John Pound (I), the original Pound and early settler of Piscataway. Whether he moved right away is not known, he may have moved to nearby Somerset, as other Pounds are found there. The records show that his son Hezekiah served from that county in the revolution in 1776and 1777. He later migrated to Md., probably about the time of the revolution, as some of his younger children are said to have been born there. Where in Md. is not sure, subsequent to revolution, part of his family is know to have been living near Cumberland, as his son Hezekiah took a grant of land there as a settler in 1788 and his son Thomas and daughter Eunice, moved from there to Kentucky in 1786. The exact date of his death in not Known, but his second wife Sarah, survived him and on 4-14-1789, in Nelson Co. Ky., married Samuel Stiglar. She survived her second husband also, and on 3-24-1810, married William Kester, the common ancestor of the Kester family recorded in Mr. Hunt's Pound-Kester History.

John Pound conveyed a tract of land by deed 3-24-1736. His will dated 5-2-1752 and was proved 8-26-1752. This is recorded in the office of Secretary of State,
trenton, NJ, in Book F of wills, pg. 64. In the will he gave to his son Thomas 40 shillings, his son John, 40 shillings, to Rachel Leforge, wife of Joseph Leforge,personal property, and to his son Elijahh, one-third and to his son Joseph two-thirds of his remaining estate.

WF Vol.#3, pedigree #3830. Lists this John Pound as II,
Notes: John Pound lived and died in Piscataway, N.J., until his death in 1752. He inherited a tract of land as only son and heir of his mother, the widow of John Pound I, his father conveyed by deed 3-24-1736 to his son Thomas. NO wife was named in this deed and he was probably a widower at that time. But it is believed that his wife was named Esther (Drake from other sources). His will is as above. In a list of freeholders residing in Piscataway in 1750, are found the names of John, Thomas, Elijah, and John Pound jr., evidently the John Pound (II) named here and the 3 sons mentioned in the will.

Zachariah Paddock resided, East Precinct, Yarmouth, now Dennis, Cape Cod, Barnstable County, Massachusetts on land given to his wife by her father at the time of her marriage. In 1666 he built a house at Yarmouth, the oldest extant house built by a Paddock, now much renovated and moved to near Bass River, South Yarmouth. "Zachary Paddock" and his wife were mentioned in the will of her father 10 March 1667. He served on a coroner's jury to investigate the death of a child of Nicholas Nickerson 24 Oct. 1667. He was granted 50 acres at Seaconnet, part of Tatamanuck's land 7 July 1680 and later, same year, on the grand jury. He was Deputy (Representative), General Court at Plymouth 8 July 1706, 1707-8. On the seating committee of the new meeting house 1717 "an important office in early pilgrim times" --- Quakers were exempt from charge and those desiring pews had to build them at their own expense. His widow was admitted to the Second Church from the First Church, Yarmouth 6 Aug. 1727. Of the sons: Ichabod, Joseph and Nathaniel removed to Nantucket Island, where the name often appeared PADDACK -- Ichabod, however, did not remain there -- and Zachariah, John, Robert and Judah established themselves in Yarmouth. His sons Joseph and Nathaniel and their early descendants, many of whom were mariners and whaling ship captains, married into several of the old historic families of Nantucket --- Macy, Hussey, Folger, Coffin, Starbuck, Gorham, Swain, Worth, Gardner, Bunker, Pinkham, Chadwick, Coleman and others. A Macy led the first band of settlers on Nantucket Island 1659 and a descendant of the Nantucket Macys established the famous department store in New York City. A Hussey took the first sperm whale 1712 which sparked a change in the whaling industry. From the Folgers derived the mother of Benjamin Franklin and the donor of the Shakespeare museum and library in Washington, D.C. These early whaling families left mansions at Nantucket that are now landmarks, but the "Oldest House" there, built 1686, is the Coffin-Paddack House on Sunset Hill, also called the Jethro Coffin House and the Horseshoe House because of the large horseshoe-shaped design on its chimney. The Paddack-Paddock Burying Ground or Ancient Paddock Cemetery, almost at the foot of Scargo Hill, has been described: "Within the neat iron-rail and granite-post fence stand the gravestones -- along one end marshalled erect, white and briefly worded, along the opposite end and through the middle of the enclosure dark, moss-grown illegible at times, tipping, split or crumbled into powdery dust". The earliest markers show the conventional decorations -- winged death's head, weeping willow and so on. Many of the early ones give the name PADDACK. Probably the last Paddock to own the cemetery was Hannah H. Paddock of Boston, Mass. Elizabeth Twitchell described her visit there in 1897: "About a mile and a half beyond the town ... in a field ... a graveyard wholly devoted to one family ... not more than 40 graves in all. The old ones were so mossy and sunken that it was as much as we could do to read them ... It was quite impressive to be in such a remote and lovely spot and think back all those years. In the disrance, interesting old farm houses with green doors and sometimes old knockers on them, way beyond that the sea and the boats, nearby a tangle of flowers and a great deal of swampy land ... and ... wild roses still in bloom over the stone walls".
Zachariah's son Capt. Judah Paddock married Alice Alden whose Grandfather John Alden came to this country on the Mayflower in 1620. (From the Paddock Geneaology, written by Robert Curfman)

These following notes and pedigrees for Robert Paddock back come from WFT #5, pedigree # 3532 under Paddock

Robert Paddock was born 1583-4, as claimed according to American records. (He has also been given as born in Stephenstown, Balrothery Parish, County Dublin, Ireland, 16 Sept. 1584, younger son of John Paddock, Blacksmith of Stephenstown and later of Tullygovan near Killany, Barony of Ardee, County Louth, Ireland, by his wife Jane Jennings. Robert died intestate at Plymouth 25, July 1650, entered in the Plymouth Colony Records. Though he made no will, his widow Mary confirmed in Nov. 1650 that on his death bed Robert had granted the guardianship of his son John to Captain Thomas Willett, who was later Mayor of New York. ("Whereas Robert Padduck of Plym: lately deceased did on his death bed give and dispose his sonne John Padduck aged about five years unto Captaine Tho: Willet to bee att his desposing and under his guidance as his own child : These presents doe therefore wittness that Mary Padduck the wife of said Robert Padduck doth condesend unto and allow of the said acte of her Said husband in the disposing of her Said sonne John to Captain Willet as aforesaid " In Witness of the promises shee the Said Mary hath hereunto sett her hand and given way to have this present said writing entered upon publick Record." Mary Paddockthen signed this by making her mark an M).
Robert inherited the blacksmith shop of his father in Killany in the will of his mother made at Killany 15 May 1607. The name of the ship and the year of his emigration remain unknown. He may well have been in Plymouth by 1632, there having been two of his children entered in the Plymouth Colony Records born before 1636. In Plymouth Colony Robert was a blacksmith and at one time a constable. (Plymouth Colony, Cape Cod, Massachusetts, New England). Robert Paddock was the Patriarch of the Paddock family in America.

John Paddock (Jean Paddoc) fled to England from France "for religious as well as politicial reasons" in 1580. He then emigrated to Ireland and settled in Stevenstown Co. Dublin in 1580. He also owned land at Tullygovan, County Louth. On Oct.3, 1589 John and his family were mentioned in the will of his father Paul Paddoc, Siegneur de Le Cateau et de Montherme. He was a blacksmith in Tullygovan. He died intestate in Tullygovan, near Killany, County Louth on April 3, 1603. His wife Jane Jennings (also known as Jeannette Jennin and last name also spelled Jenning) came to Ireland with her uncle Jean Jennin in 1570 from France. (From the Paddock Geneaology, written by Robert Curfman)

[NI1123] [Brøderbund WFT Vol. 5, Ed. 1, Tree #3532, Date of Import: Oct 11, 1997]

Paul Paddoc of Le Cateau, Nord, and of Bapaume, Pas de Calais, France was Lord of the Manors of Le Cateau and Montherme. He was emancipated at the age of 25 years by his father, Oct. 4, 1532. He purchased the manor of Montherme in 1552. In 1554 and 1555 he was administrator for his father's estate, but "did not pay the bequests to his brothers and sisters, which led to litigations." His mother "assumed the distribution in consideration of maintenance for her life" Montherme 2 Oct. 1555.
Francoise Traillour Paddoc had a brother "Noel Traillour" who married in 1562 Jeanne De Gasque of Nouzon. They had a son named Jean Traillour who emigrated to London and married in the Walloon Church. According to the History of the Walloon and Huguenot Church of Canterbury, French Protestants fled to a home of exile where they could worship in freedom and avoid torment, torture and death. The Walloons, as in this record, inhabited southern Belgium and adjoining Flemish regions in France and spoke a French dialect. (From the Paddock Geneaology, written by Robert Curfman)

William Markey was baptized April 18, 1756 in the parish of Taynton in Gloucester County. He arrived in the United States in 1774 or after. According to the family legend he lived in Virginia for a time, but just how this fits into the sequence of events that led him to Ohio is not known. When the Revolutionary War broke out, he enlisted in the Conti- nental Army on December 4, 1776 in the 5th maryland Regiment.

In 1787, William married Margaret Holland, who had come to America from Wales. She was born in 1757. According to the 1890 census, they were residing in Baltimore County, Maryland in Mine Run Hundred. At that time, two female children were shown on the census information.
William moved to Tippecanoe, Harrison County, Ohio in 1814. He was one of the first settlers in Tippecanoe. However, at the time Margaret and he moved there, the town was known as Norrisville. It was renamed Tippecanoe in 1840. William bought land under a patent issued by James Madison on March 13, 1815. The deed wasn't recorded until June 2, 1819, which reportedly represented the date that the purchase price was paid in full.

The beneficiaries listed in the will include his wife, Ann; the eldest son in England, Joseph; his son, John; his daughter, Christian Hestings; and a grandson, James Halloway, who must have been the son of either Hannah or Phoebe. At the time of his death, he possessed a barn, buildings with two gardens, one orchard, two pieces of stable land and one piece of pasture, horses, sheep and pigs. There was also something called the Sheep's Coat Garden, which means sheep's cote or shelter. This, combined with another piece of land, totaled about one acre.
