During World War II he owned and operated a little cafe across the street from Stephenville High School, and he also had a truck farm, selling vegetables wherever he could. After the war, and when his youngest son George came home he had a grocery store on Frey Street in Stephenville. Both his wife and daughter-in-law Lorena and his son George who was the meat butcher worked there by his side, and as hard as he did to make the business a success. They sold the grocery store about 1950 and then he went back to farming full time. When Lewis would go for a daily walk or ride he always had something to give to Olivia, it may be a flower, a button that he had found on the ground, an old bottle of some kind, or just about anything. In the 67 years they were married he never went anywhere that he didn't bring his wife something back. Their long marraige was a happy one in spite of the everyday happenings. They were blessed with two daughters and four sons, and their descendants are numerous.

She and Papa as us kids called him were so much in love and Grandma's father was adamantly against their marraige, so one evening Grandma & Papa eloped, they rode the train to Belton and were married. Why Grandpa Patrick (Ollivia's father) was against their marraige was anybodies guess, perhaps he thought that it wouldn't last. Boy was he wrong!!! Ollivia Pittman Patrick & Lewis Napolean Sparkman celebrated their 67th wedding anniversay just weeks before she passed away. At that time all of her living children as well as many of their grandchildren and great-grandchildren were present to help celebrate their day. Grandma (Olivia) was but five foot tall, if that, and she may have been one of the most fantastic cooks to ever be. She was a very warm and loving woman as well. In the 67 years they were married she raised six children, did all the daily chores of the household, and always laid "Papa's" clothes out for the following day. When she became to ill to stay at home and was in the Nursing home, Papa really missed her and never failed to visit her daily, in fact he might stay there all day, or he would leave and come back several times.

She was the daughter of Eugene Alvin Menefee and Mary Nora Virginia Howell. Her parents had passed away when she was but 6 years old, and so her maternal Aunt Emma Lorena Howell raised both her and her younger brother. George and Lorena were married in Emma Lorena ("Granny") Howell's home on January 25th, 1942 and have been happily married ever since.

William Lewis Sparkman54, born 22 February 1855 in Beech Cove Community, Sparta, Tennessee55,56; died 18 April 1950 in Brown Ranch at Coleman, Coleman County, Texas56. He was the son of 8. George Washington Sparkman, "Squire" and 9. Malissa Hill. He married 5. Mollie S. Gilliam 11 July 1878 in Tennessee. 5. Mollie S. Gilliam57, born 19 April 1862 in Robertson County, Texas58; died 01 July 1944 in Coleman County, Texas58. She was the daughter of 10. William Emlee Gilliam and 11. Emily Ophelia Hughes. Notes for William Lewis Sparkman: William Lewis Sparkman was born February 22, 1855 in Sparta, White Co., Tennessee, the sixth of eleven children of "Squire" George W. Sparkman and Malissa Hill Sparkman. [The death certificate of William Lewis states that his mother was Martha Jane Hill!] He is said to have attended Burritts College in Spencer, Tennessee. He left Tennessee to come to Texas in 1877/78, inviting a neighborhood friend about the same age as he, to make the journey with him. Since neither of the young men had an abundant amount of money they decided that they would walk the distance between their Tennessee homes to Texas. They walked by day and slept under the stars at night. Finally they arrived in Troy, Bell Co., Texas and were fortunate to find work. According to Mary Lorena Menefee Sparkman the reason that William Lewis Sparkman left Tennessee was because he and his brother, Jerriah Monroe Sparkman had had an argument and so in order to cool off, William Lewis Sparkman started his walk to Texas. (REF: Conversation with Lorena on March 28th, 1998) In 1878, William Lewis met and married Miss Mollie Gilliam, born in Robertson County, Texas on April 19, 1862. After their marraige they bought land near Troy, Texas and set about farming the land. They would be blessed with eight children, all of whom were born on this piece of land in Troy, Texas. W. L. ("Lewis" as he was known) was one of the first trustees of the Loss Creek School. Descendants of he & Mollie, namely Eirys Sparkman Larance, Beulah Parker Sparkman, were among the teachers at the school when it opened in 1907--Beulah teaching during the second term. In 1908 students with the surname Sparkman attending classes at Loss Creek were Hubert Sparkman, and Annie Sparkman. Several of the other students were cousins of Hubert and Annie. The first Sunday of every August there is a reunion of the descendants of this couple in Coleman, Texas. In the following pages are newspaper clippings about some of these reunions. The clippings usually list the descendants who attended that particular years reunion. Several years ago, [1988] Jesse Lee Sparkman wrote a booklet for distribution at the aforementioned reunion. In that booklet was the following: "Lewis Sparkman (1855-1950) is said to have attended Burritts College, Spencer, Tennessee. Emigrated to Bell County, Texas in 1877, where he married Mollie Gilliam and settled with her on her portion of the Talliaferro Hughes League. Her mother, Orphelia Hughes, a third generation Texan. Her grandfather, John Hughes and uncle, Talliaferro (Tolliver) Hughes, each had a class headright (Nos. 217 & 249) over four thousand acres, for being in Texas before its Declaration of Independence from Mexico, and possibly having served in its army. Lewis was a strong man physically, with a deep Tennessee drawl and a good personality. He had many friends and although he came to Texas in gun-fighting days, he never seemed to have any trouble. Shortly after arriving he and a companion refused to pay toll on a bridge on the Brazos River near Waco. One of them pulled a gun to back up the refusal. The bridge tender said, 'All right, you can go. But you keep doing this in Texas - somebody will call your hand.' He took the warning seriously and never presented a weapon again. He was a Southern Baptist, who usually served as a deacon in a country church. Occasionally he would slip from grace and get drunk. The church apparently has a more benevolent attitude than now, as they always received him back. He was considered 'not a fast man' and the present term 'laid back' would apply to him. He said he had read 'The Fundalmentalist' by J. Frank Norris, a widely-known Baptist preacher, who had to kill a man in his office, and commented 'We have men that need killing, but we don't have horses that need stealing." He read "The Iconoclast" when its editor was in a bitter feud with the Baylor University Baptists in the adjoining county. The Baptists set aside their principles long enough to kill the carpet bagger editor, Braun, in a wild shootout in downtown Waco. He also read "The Fundamentalist" by J. Frank Norris, a widely known Baptist preacher, who had to kill a man in his office. As they used to say, "We have men that need killing, but we don't have horses that need stealing." Another periodical he read was the "Ferguson Forum" edited by Jim Ferguson, a former (and impeached) governor of Texas. Lewis was a life-long Ferguson supporter, believing that he was villified by political antagonists. Lewis and Mollie raised a family of eight children of their own, and three others left by the untimely death of their oldest daughter, Lillie Mae. All turned out well. In 1906 Lewis and Mollie, together with part of related families, the Hughes, the Cullins, and the Dobbins who had trekked from South Carolina in the early part of the last century, sold their respective parts of the T. Hughes League in Bell County, Texas, and moved to Coleman County, where they settled in the Loss Creek community south of Coleman. As with the Sparkman family in North Carolina and Tennessee, th practice of migrating together as a clan, probably for mutual protection, has since been discontinued. In the days when you might have a feuding family like the Hatfiedlds and the McCoys, living in the next valley, with a big chip on their shoulder, it was well to have numerous relatives in your community. Remote cousins, formerly counted as kin, are now unknown persons scattered here and there. William Lewis Sparkman is buried in Coleman City Cemetery, beside Mollie Sparkman. His tombstone reads as follows: "FATHER W. L. 'Lewis' Sparkman Born in Tenn.

When the early settlers built their homes in the area of this quiet, gentle creek the waters were cool and peaceful. They were not moving in any directions, as if the little creek was at a 'loss' to know which way it should flow. The first school trustees decided the name would be 'Loss Creek;, as it was near this little creek. Deed records dated 9 August 1907 show that E. J. Wesson, for the sum of $10.00, sold to the trustees of Loss Creek School District No. 47 for school purposes, 1 2.9 acres of land. The first trustees were: M. B. Nickles, W. L. SPARKMAN, E. J. Wesson, and D. L. Cullins. Lumber was hauled in wagons from Coleman, and the one room building was erected by men of the community who volunteered their labor. The first school opened in 1907 with Miss Daisy Alford as teacher, and Miss BEULAH PARKER, who became Mrs. W. B. SPARKMAN of Santa Anna, taught the second term. After two terms of school the boundary line of the district was changed, and it was decided to move the school nearer the center of the district, up the hill and on the Sheilds road. the deed dated 29 June 1910 states that: 'J. W. Gates and wife, for the sum of $50.oo paid by W. P. Nuckols, M. B. Nickles, and D. L. Cullins, trustees of School Dist. No. 47, do grant and sell to the said trustees and their successors in office, a certain 3 acres of land for free school purposes for white children.' The trustees sold the first school site back to Mr. Wesson for the same amount they had paid him, and moved the building to the new location. It was used for another term while a new building was erected, then it was used as a teacherage. W. E. Haney, a Coleman contractor, constructed the new building and painted it a pretty slate gray inside and outside. there were big windows all across the east side, with a porch and double doors on the west wall, then 2 big classrooms with a partition that could be raised, making one large assembly room. A big coal stove with a black metal bucket was installed in each room. Men of the community were paid to haul coal from Coleman when it was needed. Records for 1912 show that Walter Seals was paid $1.50 each for hauling four loads; for expenses of the schools in 1914, Professor John Byrd was paid $22.50 for janitor work, hauling coal and water for the year, and $100.00 per month salary. Mrs. Byrd drew $50.00 per month for teaching, and the enrollment was 47. In 1923, Clarence Cullins hauled coal for $2.00, Sid Cullins was paid $5.00 for cleaning the cistern, Ray Cullins hauled 2 loads of coal for $3.50, CLARENCE DURHAM was paid $8.00 for taking school census and C. A. Yarborough $7.50 for work on cistern and hauling water. This nice frame building fully met the needs of the community for school, church and Sunday School, revivals, singing schools, box suppers and literary programs. In 1926, a new red brick building was constructed, with 3 large classrooms, and the school went to a 3-teacher school. The old frame building, but not the land, was deeded by the trustees to the Shiloh Baptist Church, which was organized by Rev. McCorkle of Coleman. Roland Kemp deeded an acre of land across the road to the church, in 1928, the building was moved. In 1930, two more rooms were added to the school building. One was a large classroom, and the other was arranged and equipped for a Homemaking Department, under the supervision of Miss EIRYS SPARKMAN, the Homemaking teacher. This was the first rural school in the county to begin a Homemaking Department. "It was well received and used. Many girls who had quit school returned for these classes and thus were encouraged to complete their high school studies, which they did. During the same year the library was enlarged, science lab equipment was added, a PTA was organized, and more playground equipment was provided. In 1931, the school went to eleven grades, and 8 month term, with 6 teachers and an enrollment of 116 pupils - the peak year for the school. Consolidation of schools soon began, and Loss Creek held on until 1951 when the high school students were transferred to Mozelle High School and thye elementary students were transferred to Coleman. the teachers from 1907 to 1951 were: Daisy Alford, BEULAH PARKER, W. M. Connelly, Lillie Halbert, George Green, V. A. Edinburg, John and Ola Byrd, Bill Knight, Rose Pearce, Nora Henry, Mr. Leslie, Mary Couch, Annette Spath, Mable Harvey, Mattie Vanderford, Mr. and Mrs. Sam Moore, Mrs. Marcus Durham, Sarah Newsom, Lee Hemphill, EIRYS SPARKMAN, Corinne Folk, LOIS SPARKMAN, Edna Nixon, Mrs. W. A. Wilhite, D. A. Bounds, Mary Folk, Ellen Folk, Nita Lee Wilder, and C. R. Steele. Among the school trustees not previously named were W. M. Freeman, R. W. Starnes, W. D. McClain, G. K. Redding, Will Kemp, John Adian, E. G. Cyre, W. R. Dobbins, J. C. Abernathy, W. S. Smith, Frank Adian, C. D. Miller, I. V. Sewell, Ed Duke and Harvey Patton. Mrs. Mary Cullins, widow of John Cullins, bought land here in the early 1900's and moved here from Bell County along with her five sons: Don, Doris, Albert, Loddie and George. Her sons reared their families here and took part in all community endeavors. Other families were DOBBINS, HUGHES, SPARKMAN, Wesson, Omondson, Nickles, Alexander, Hennesee, Freeman, Nuckols, Scarborough, Gunn, Hodges, Walker, Garrett, Rice, Cope, Tabor, West, Henry, PRIDEMORE, Copeland, McCarol, Bridges, Redding, Rude, Kemp, Starnes, Holmes, Harrell, Crye, Adian, Abernathy, Roach, Cochran, Vanderford, Haygood, Butler, Seals, Sewell, Duke, Moneyhun, Coleman, DURHAM, Barefoot, Yarborough, Patton, Netherton, Tatum, Webb, Cannon, Leedy, Dunn, Smith, Miller, Cammack, Sorrells, Dodgen, Greer and many others who moved in and out. Many of these families were relatives, and all of them were good friends and neighbors. ______________ W.

Pearl was born in Lee County, Texas on March 29, 1882. George and Pearl rented land from her father and farmed. They were blessed with Eirys Ovella in 1905, Sidney Thomas ("T. L.") in 1907, Annie in 1910, Georgia in 1917, Vada in 1920 and Gussie in 1924. Late in the year of 1906, George and his father, William Lewis traveled from their homes on a "prospecting" trip. Deed records shows that on December 17, 1906 each bought a tract of land for thirteen dollars an acre on the Waters of Loss Creek, about seven miles southeast of the town of Coleman, Texas. At this time William Lewis was living in Bell County, and George was living in Brown County. The two tracts of land adjoined each other and in 1907 William Lewis built a barn on his property. William Lewis, Mollie and five of their children, lived there until a house could be constructed. Fourteen months later, William Lewis purchased another tract of land that he preferred to build on and that was located near the Santa Fe Railroad. The site of this tract of land was also much closer to the towns of Coleman and Santa Anna. By the summer of 1908 the house was built. It was an L-shape house, painted white with a white picket/plank fence around it, and a barn was also completed and a water well was dug. They would live here until Mollie's death in June, 1944. After her death William Lewis lived with his daughter Annie and his son Hubert, until his passing in 1950 at the age of 95 years. 1910 Coleman County, Texas Census Page 50B, E.D. 125, sheet 2B, line 84, April 18, 1910 #33-33 Geo.

Notes for William Burrill Sparkman: In 1905 when Lewis & Mollie Sparkman sold their farm at Troy and moved to Coleman County, they purchased a farm in Loss Creek community. William Burl lived in Brown County with his step-Grandpa, Larkin Clark Scott in the Ricker or Stepp Creek community. In 1906 he went to live again with his parents at Loss. Creek. On August 14, 1910, Beulah Parker and William Burl Sparkman were married at Home Creek, not far from the Loss Creek School. He met Beulah while she was teaching at Loss Creek. They set up housekeeping in a house on a farm which Burl had rended about a half mile north of the Loss Creek School. Wendel Burl was born in this house March 21, 1913. During the period 1914-1919 the family lived in a farm house on the 150 acre farm owned by Beulah's father. In about 1980 or so a history of Coleman County, Texas families was written. The following article was written by Wendell B. Sparkman regarding his mother and father William Burrill and Beaulah (Parker) Sparkman. REF: Coleman County History, p. 1095-1096 "William Burl Sparkman was born at Troy, Texas March 9, 1884. His father, W. L. (Lewis) Sparkman, a farmer by trade, was born near McMinnville, Tennessee, February 22, 1856 and his mother was Mollie Gilliam of Bell County, Texas. In 1905, W. L. & Mollie sold their farm at Troy and moved to Coleman County and purchased a farm in Loss Creek community. William Burl lived in Brown County with his step-Grandpa Scott in the Ricker or Stepp Creek Community. In 1906, he went to live again with his parents at Loss Creek." In 1896, Z. A. Parker, son of John Parker of Caldwell Parish, Louisiana, moved his family from Limestone County to the Plainview Community. Z. A. married Nanny Pearce who was the daughter of L. C. Pearce, a farmer, who moved to Coleman County where he owned two good farms and spent the last 25 years of his life, mostly in Santa Anna where he died in 1927, buried at Kirk. Z. A. & Nanny's children were: Beulah Louisa, born May 3, 1889 at Froza, Limestone County; John Lee; Pearl and Ruth. Nanny died from complication of measles and pneumonia in 1896. In 1907, Z. A. sold all except a 150 acre place about a mile north of Santa Anna and bought lands in Glasscock County. In or about 1904 Z. A. married Mollie Pearce, sister to his first wife, and moved to Glasscock County in 1907 with Pearl and John Lee, leaving Ruth with his brother, Asa T., and his sister, Dora who had set up housekeeping on a small farm owned by Asa T., about 1 1/2 miles southwest of Santa Anna. Brian Aubrey was born in 1907. Z. A. and Mollie moved back to Santa Anna in 1919 where he bought and sold cattle while in partial retirement. Mollie became mentally ill in 1921 and was placed in the state mental hospital at Wichita Falls where she stayed until 1927. She died in the home of her sister, Ollie (Pearce) Weaver in Santa Anna in 1938. Z. A. was killed in an automobile accident at the age of 85."

Beulah attended grade school at Plainview School and graduated in 1907 from Santa Anna High School. She obtained a teaching certificate and taught at Burkett, Loss Creek, and Garden City. They set up housekeeping in a house on a farm which Burrill had rented about a half mile north of the Loss Creek School. Wendell Burl was born in this house, March 21, 1913. During the period 1914-1919, the family lived in a farm house on the 150 acre farm owend by Beulah's father. Jessie Lee was born in this house, May 17, 1915. Due to a very severe drought in 1918, crops were a complete failure, they moved to Santa Anna. John Robert was born March 21, 1921 in Santa Anna. During 1919-1926, Burrill was employed as a sales clerk in several store; W. R. Kelly and Company, Woffards, Texas Mercantile Company (Ford Barnes), Hunter Brothers Grocery and Market and Adams Mercantile. In 1927, Burrill and Beulah's uncle, John Pearce, bought a small grocery store in Santa Anna, operating with the name "Self Service Grocery" until 1930, with John Pearce remaining a silent partner in the business. Wendell, Jesse Lee and John Robert all attended grade school in Santa Anna. Wendell graduated from grade school in May, 1926 as salutatorian and from Santa Anna High School in May, 1930, in a tie with Eugene Watkins, as valedictorian. Jesse Lee graduated from Santa Anna High in 1932 and John Bob (John Robert) in May, 1938. He was salutatorian when he graduated from grade school at Santa Anna in 1934.

On Sunday September 15, 1968 in the FORT WORTH STAR-TELEGRAM newspaper there was an article titled "Colonial Family to Have Reunion" by Damon Veach. This article told about the Sparkman reunion to be held that year on Saturday Septemvber 21rst in SparkmanTown, near Doyle, Tennessee. In the article Mr. Veach reported that the Sparkman family lived in Surry County, Virginia, as early as 1616. The county was not formed until 1652, but the area was settled much earlier than that. The actual colonization of the American continent began with the arrival of three boatloads of English immigrants in May of 1607 on the northeast shore of the James River in what is now the current state of Virginia. Mr. Veach goes on to state that from Virginia, the family of Sparkman branched off to other parts of North Carolina, in the Gates County area. Then about 1790 they began moving towards the east, to Grainger County, Tennessee, then to White, Franklin & Williamson counties. Much later members of this family migrated into Kentucky, Missouri, Oklahoma, Alabama, and of course Texas. Those that went into Texas were here before statehood, but the exact date is not known. On the McElroy Farm near Quebec at Bone Cave is the McElroy Cemetary and information has been sent to the writer of this genealogy that Melissa Sparkman born September 4th, 1825 wife of "Squire" George Sparkman, died December 24, 1875 and was buried in the McElroy Cemetary. Previous information indicated that she was buried at Beech Cove Cemetery in Sparkmantown, Van Buren County, Tennessee.

Sparkman: The HISTORY OF VAN BUREN COUNTY, CHAPTER XXIII, p.264 states that her husband's surname was Breeden, not Breedlove, and that he was from Alabama. In Forest Hill Chapel Cemetery in Morgan County, Alabama there is the following Breedlove family as well as several Sparkman family members--is it possible that the Lewis [1834-1863] is Martha's husband? Could the Van Buren History be in error stating that his name was Breeden? Family records of Squire George and Malissa definitely state their daughter Martha married a Mr. Breedlove.

Sparkman: The HISTORY OF VAN BUREN COUNTY, CHAPTER XXIII, p.264 states that her husband's surname was Breeden, not Breedlove, and that he was from Alabama. In Forest Hill Chapel Cemetery in Morgan County, Alabama there is the following Breedlove family as well as several Sparkman family members--is it possible that the Lewis [1834-1863] is Martha's husband? Could the Van Buren History be in error stating that his name was Breeden? Family records of Squire George and Malissa definitely state their daughter Martha married a Mr. Breedlove.

Witnessed by Ichobod MITCHELL and J. C. PAINE. Notes for G. Noah Mayfield: G. Noah Mayfield who was born March 13, 1854 in Van Buren Co., Tennessee, was the fourth oldest child of William Mayfield [ who was born in Warren Co., Tennessee on June 10th, 1825 and died in Lamar Co., Texas on February 2, 1896 *], and his wife Amy Jane Moore, daughter of Thomas Moore and Rebecca Stepp, whom he married in Warren Co., Tennessee in 1846. Noah's siblings were Margaret Melvira Mayfield born July 29, 1847; James Madison born February 7, 1850, Rebecca Ann born October 10, 1852; Elisha M. born February 16, 1857, William Winfred born January 10, 1859, Martha Jane born March 28, 1864, Milo born March 16, 1865 and Thomas Hudson born September 29, 1866. After Sarah died Noah sent his three daughters to Texas to "live with relatives" (ref. Max Courtney e-mail April 11, 1998), possibly a brother of Noah's. They settled around the Troy, Bell County, Texas area. It is stated that Noah was a casket maker there, but Max has not been able to find first hand information regarding this. The date of death according to Max is supposedly located in a Mayfield Bible. =============================================================== *NOTE: The Lamar County, Texas website has a Death and Cemetery record and in this record it states that "W.M. Mayfield was born 10 June 1826 and died 3 February 1886, and is buried at Shady Grove Cemetery in the southeast section". It further states that he was buried near Amanda M. Findley and Charles Ray Stewart. Amanda was born 10 April 1821 and died 30 July 1887 and her tombstone states that she was the wife of John Findley. v.

" Lige" Sparkman109, born 12 April 1857 in Beech Cove Community, Van Buren Co, Tenn110,111; died 10 March 1917 in Van Buren Co, Tenn - Hollingsworth Cem112; married (1) Nancy Hollingsworth 30 September 1875 in Van Buren Co, Tenn; born 06 June 1856 in Van Buren Co, Tenn; died 27 February 1891 in Van Buren Co, Tenn - Hollingsworth Cem; married (2) Dorthula " Thurley" McBride 27 February 1895 in Van Buren Co, Tenn; born 12 August 1870113; died 05 November 1948 in Cedar Grove, Van Buren Co., Tennessee, buried Long Cemetery113. Notes for Elijah H. " Lige" Sparkman: Elijah H. Sparkman was born in Van Buren County, a son of Squire George Sparkman and Malissa Hill who were both natives of Van Buren County. Elijah's paternal grandfather was Thomas Bryant Sparkman and his grandmother was a Comis prior to her marraige. Elijah married Nancy "Holenwogth" (now spelled Hollingsworth) on September 30th, 1875. Nancy was just barely twenty years old at the time of their wedding. They were the parents of Stephan, Mollie who died on October 3, 1897, George L. who died on August 20, 1897, Malechi, Sophria, Dallas, and J. Hodge. Nancy died on February 28th, 1891 and then Elijah remarried to "Thuley" McBride on February 28m, 1895. Thuley as she was known was born in 1868 and was a daughter of James McBride and Hallie Vance. There were three children (according to this source) from the second marraige, and only their daughter Lydia lived past infancy. (REF: HISTORY OF VAN BUREN COUNTY, CHAPTER XXIII, p. 264) As you will notice there were eight children from the second marraige, not three as the History of Van Buren County suggested. The 1891 Tax list of Van Buren County, Tennessee lists an "E.H. Sparkman" as paying taxes on 160 acres of land. This is most likely Elijah. Lige as he was known, owned and operated a steam drive saw mill in Van Buren County, possibly located near the Hollingsworth Cemetery, where he was buried upon his death. 1880 US Census, Van Buren County, TN.

I would like to note that Mary was the third wife of Zach, not the second. His second wife was Bettie (ELKINS) CUBLEY and they married in 1898, NAvarro County, Texas. Accoring to the 1910 census, Zach and Mary Emma had been married 5 years. According to the probating of Mary's estate in 1945, she had had another son, Orville Sparkman, before she married Zach. Orville sold his claim in the estate to his half brother, William Clarence Hodge. Still trying to track down Mary Emma, and Orville, who had to have been born btw 1900 and 1905. Zach's second wife, Bettie died in 1904 and had no death certificate. Zach bought land from his step daughter's guardian in 1904 and 1905. Apparently it was land that Bettie purchased right after her 1898 marriage to Zach, and they were living on it. Any thoughts on were Mary may have been btw 1900 and 1905. I really think she should be in Texas. Thanks, Jason --- SUESGENES@aol.com wrote: > Ken, > > Thank you very much, I didn't even have any census reports for "Knittin' > Bill".

IV Plaintiffs further allege that the will of said Z. T. Hodge provided that upon the death of his widow, Mary Emma Hodge, that said W. C. Hodge, referred to in said will as Clarence Hodge, should inherit said real estate above described, insofar as the community 1/2 interest of Z. T. Hodge is concerned, and said W. C. Hodge should pay to the persons therein named the sum of $50.00 each. Said Plaintiffs allege that W.C. Hodge has made said payments to Elbert Hodge and Benton Hodge mentioned in the will, but, although he has been willing and able to do so, he has, for reasons hereinafter stated, been unable to make payments to Herbert Hodge, Bessie May Hodge, Floyd Hodge and Arnold (called Arnal in said will) Hodge. In connection therewith said Plaintiffs would show to the Court that Herbert Hodge has not been seen or heard from since about 1922. Inquiries have been made through the years but no information has been derived concerning said Herbert Hodge. Said Herbert Hodge’s only child, as far as is known to the plaintiffs, a daughter, Mrs. Grace Alkes, is one of the Defendants herein. Said Defendant has not seen or heard of her father since she was a small child, and knows nothing about the whereabouts of said Herbert Hodge. Plaintiffs allege that it is unknown whether said Herbert Hodge is living or dead, and if dead, whether or not he left any heirs other than the foregoing Mrs. Grace Alkes, or whether he has any legal representative of his estate. Plaintiffs allege that Mrs. Bessie Mae Wade, one of the Defendants herein, is one and the same person as Bessie Mae Hodge mentioned in the Last Will and Testament of Z. T. Hodge. That said Bessie May Hodge has refused to accept said payment. The defendant, Floyd Hodge, died in the year 1948, leaving as sole heirs at law the Defendants Violet Hodge and Mrs. Floyd Hodge, his widow. V Said Plaintiff W. C. Hodge herewith deposits into the registry of this Court the sum of $200.00, being the amount due and owing under the Last Will and Testament of Z. T. Hodge to the Defendants, Herbert Hodge, Bessie May Hodge Wade, and Floyd Hodge and Arnold Hodge. In connection therewith, Plaintiffs allege that that the failure or refusal of Defendants to accept said payments, or in the case of Herbert Hodge the Plaintiffs’ inability to know who to pay or from who to procure a proper release, constitutes a cloud upon the title of said Plaintiffs in and to the hereinbefore described property. Said Plaintiffs allege that this Honorable Court should find and determine those persons entitled to receive the interest of Herbert Hodge and Floyd Hodge, and this Court should remove cloud from title of said Plaintiffs in said real estate. WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, said Plaintiffs pray that said Defendants be cited for the time and in the manner required by law, that on final hearing hereof, said Plaintiffs have judgment against said defendants for the quieting of the Plaintiffs’ title of the herein described real estate, and for such other and further relief, both general and special, at law and in equity, to which they may show themselves justly entitled.

Notes for Peter Rowen ( Ryan ) Sparkman: There was a Peter Sparkman who paid taxes in 1891 in Van Buren County, as to whether it is definitely Peter Rowen remains to be proven. Peter would have been in his forties at this time, so it is highly probable that it is Peter Rowen Sparkman who paid taxes.

O'Dell lived in the house with Lloyd Sparkman & Mrs. McBride;.. E.D. was Lloyd's older half brother. It was kinda wierd to think of Lloyd & Grover as half brothers...because of the difference in their ages. "Mr. Peter" also got credit for being the out-of-wedlock father of Bobby Lee Lawson,...Ida Lawson's son. My Uncle Will Mitchell got credit for being the father of Ida's other son, Ray Lawson.) From Hoyte Cook in 1998 In the will of his father he is given as "Rowen P." Notes for Lodema McBride Hayes Yates: "Dema or Deam" as she was known was previously married to Drew Spears on April 25th, 1878. Her mother was Rosie McBride, and her father is not known. It appears that her mother was married to a man named Jacob Hayes on November 1, 1855 after Lodema's birth, Jacob went off to fight for the cause in the Civil War and did not return for several years, so Rosie remarried, as she thought that Jacob had been killed and the proper authorities had just failed to notify her. Back to Jacob Hayes, he was found in the 1850 census living in the household of Amanda Hayes in District 11 of White Co., Tennessee. James Madison Hayes, who is often just referred to as Madison in the records was found in the 1860 census, living in the household of John Yates, a preacher who gained considerable fame in his time! Preacher Yates is said to have been born in Virginia in 1791 and to have participated in the War of 1812. He is credited with having killed his horse by cutting its' throat with a pocket knife and with riding a STEER thereafter...with wearing a 6-shooter while he preached, and being the father of thirty-three children. Hoyte Cooke a Sparkman descendant has found more than twenty of these thirty-three children. Jacob and James both joined the confederate army at the same place, on the same date of September 6th, 1861 at Camp Smartt in Warren County, Tennessee. They both went to Company C., 35th Tennessee. It is beleivable that Jacob and James were well acquainted and possibly even related, however the fact that they were brothers has not been established. Military records show that James Madison Hayes died from disease June 10, 1862 near Tupelo, Mississippi. These records also show that Jacob Hayes deserted his unit in Kentucky on September 4th, 1862 and remained missing for six months and twenty-seven days and then rejoined his unit on April 8th, 1863. On July 1, 1863 Jacob appears to be a desserter once again, this time taking with him a musket, 40 cartridges and fifty-two caps all being worth $71.45. It seems he returned to his unit again as there is an entry in the records that show J. Hayes of the 35th Tennessee receiving medical attention for a fractured right tibia on October 21, 1864 at Floyd House Hospital. One can only speculate of the travels and activities of Jacob Hayes during those periods of AWOL but he must have had a good reason to be AWOL or otherwise why would he have been accepted back into his unit by the officers? People were known to be shot on sight for dessertion in those days. It is also possible that he was not in the best mental health, being that his friend, James Madison Hayes had recently died, and with the news that his wife (Rosie McBride) had remarried. It is higjhly possible he went back to Van Buren County Tennessee to patch things up with Rosie. There is enough documentary proof to be reasonably sure that Rosie McBride and Preacher John Yates set up housekeeping while Jacob Hayes was away "doing his patriotic duty." We also have enough information that not withstanding the preachers' age, Rosie gave birth to at least seven of the thirty-three children that Preacher John is known/said to have fathered. The seven children of Rosie and John were as follows: 1.Lee Grant Yates born January 21, 1862 (possibly a child of Jacob Hayes who was "adopted" by Preacher John Yates) 2. Jabel Yates born February 14, 1863 3. Wayman Yates born 1866 4. Lucinda born July 8, 1871 5. Barfine Yartes born March 1872 6. Luther Clinton Yates born November 4, 1875 7. Mary Evaline Yates born 1877 It is also quite possible that Preacher John adopted Lodema as the members of this branch of the Sparkman family have been told that her surname was Yates.

More About Laura Olivia Patrick: Burial: Hardeman County, Tennessee Notes for James Thomas "Tom" Joyner: James Thomas Joyner, known as "Tom" was the second son of Henry Joyner and Cynthia Persons, and was born in Hardeman County, Tennessee, where he remained throughout his entire life, except for his time in the army. Most of his military service was with General Nathan Bedford Forrest. In the fighting around Denmark, he was wounded, taken prisoner and afterward paroled. When he stopped by his sister Anna's and asked to spend the night, she did not hardly recognize the pale, thin soldier who was clad in ragged dirty clothes. After she fed her brother and put him to bed, she cried as she tried to alter a pair of old trousers to replace her brother's rags. "Don't cry," Tom tried to comfort her, "My clothes are as good as a soldier needs." Shortly after the War James Thomas "Tom" Joyner married Laura Olivia Patrick, daughter of Thomas Garrison Patrick and Sarah Joyner. "Tom" had retained supervision of his farm, and also served Hardeman County for some years as Tax Collector. In 1874 he sold the farm, and moved into Bolivar where he took a job as a clerk in a store. Afterward he opened his own grocery. Later he served as postmaster at Bolivar for over six years. Twice in his life "Tom" had Texas fever, both cases being arrested. Having acquired a little cash when he was barely out of his teens, he made a prospecting trip via horseback. Land at twenty-five cents an acre, he reasoned, was to cheap to be any good. He took his money home. In 1887 hye sold his Bolivar store and made a second trip. This time he encountered drought, and roads filled with people moving back east. Texas was not for him, so he returned to Bolivar where he opened another store, and remained the rest of his life, dying on December 11th, 1903.

Ladye More About Thomas Bryant Sparkman: Burial: June 1872, Buried Bryant Sparkman Cemetery (AKA Cold Hollow Cemetery) in unmarked grave145 Census: 1860, Van Buren Co., TN, Family #82, page 6B Notes for Eleanor Comis Cummings: Eleanor Comis Cummings was born in 1793/94 in Virginia, most likely Henry County, and she died about 1862. Her parents were Joseph Cummings and Rosanna Collier Medley Seibers. She was first married to James Hill, son of Thomas Hill and Catherine Shropshire and brother to Elijah Hill who married her sister Sarah Catherine Cummings. James Hill died from wounds sustained while fighting in the Battle of New Orleans (January 1815) on January 12, 1815. This was a battle of the War of 1812 in which Andrew Jackson's troops defeated the British after the peace treaty was signed on December 24, 1814, ending the war of 1812. James Hill & Eleanor were the parents of four children at this time and she was left a young widow with four small children to raise. While she was yet unmarried, she had an illegitimate daughter by one Thomas Ripley and the father of this daughter was hauled into court by James' father Thomas Hill, and was forced to pay child support for his daughter. After about three years Thomas Ripley disappears from the area and no one knew where he had gone. Because of the scandal, Thomas Hill went to court to obtain custody of his four grandchildren by his late son, James. He won the court case. Eleanor then married about 1819-1820 to Thomas Bryant Sparkman. The 1820 & 1830 census records of White County show that the daughter of Eleanor & Thomas Ripley is living in the home of Thomas Bryant Sparkman, and we can only assume that she more than likely took the Sparkman name. Nothing more is known about her. It is interesting to note that Eleanor & Thomas Bryant Sparkman's first child, Lewis Sparkman was married and lived in White County for a time, before moving his family to Morgan Co., Alabama where his grandson, U.

Subj: Alabama & Louis Sparkman Date: 7/31/00 4:17:13 AM Central Daylight Time From: RRamsey113 To: SUESGENES Sue: Had the chance to look through some books on Hopkins Co., TX and Morgan Co., ALA and this is what I found: TID-BITS, Vol 1., Births, Marriages, Deaths and Other Interesting Items From The Alabama Enquirer (1887-1901) by A.G. Copeland, p. 71 January 23, 1890: Reminiscences of Morgan County, No. 13 - LOUIS SPARKMAN came to Morgan before the War with a large family, and settled between the east and west Flint Rivers. He was a Tennessean, and a good farmer, a good citizen and a man of integrity and self assertion. He had a house destroyed by fired at one time. A friend went to console him and found him quietly walking the yard amid the ashes and smoldering ruins, and said, "This is bad". "Oh, no," said he, "I have a clean place to build me another house." And in a few days he had a better house than before. S.A. Sparkman, of Decatur, is a son of L.S. and married NEWTON THOMPSON'S daughter, and was one of the founders of Flint, six miles south of Decatur. ANDERSON, JAMES, DAVID, JOHN, RUSSELL and WHITTEN are some of L.S.'s numerous son. WILLIAM SPARKMAN, Clerk and Register of the City Court of Decatur, is another son. The old gentleman raised two daughters. His good wife was the duaghter of J.W. COPELAND, and went on before over the river since the War. He now lives with his fourth wife, who was a widow of Mr. ROBINSON. Mr. Sparkman has been fortunate in his many marriages, all four of his wives were excellent women. JAS. W. COPELAND came to Morgan with L. SPARKMAN, and was the father of Mrs. Nancy SPARKMAN. He was an honorable and upright man. Honored and respected by all who knew him in Alabama as well as by hundreds of his old acquaintances in Tennessee where his name and memory are fragrant as the rose. In 1888, he crossed over to the ranks of the majority in is 89th year. One of sons, Robert, gave his life for the South. Fell at his cannon facing the enemy at Missionary Ridge. He was my youngest brother and none were truer, braver or more generous than Roble. What an experience. Out from the noise, roar and smoke of battle, up to the shouting and songs of the saved amid the gleaming of the 'sunbright clime". Mother, sisters, hom and Heaven gained! May the birds sing softly and the flowers bloom sweetly over the "unknown" grave of my precious soldier brother. ...................----- written by A.G.

To: RRamsey113@aol.com ('RRamsey113@aol.com') Dear Mrs. Ramsey I am not very good at the computer language, my ability is very poor. When I try to access the web site of Mr. Neilson it tells me that this site has been moved. If you run across it will you share it with me. l was quite amused when you alluded to the thought that there were no Sparkmans left in Ala. I am quite a humorist. I may have my Bible characters wrong, I believe it was Noah whom GOD spoke to after the ark landed on Mt arat to go forth multiply and replenish the earth. I say all this in fun, however I believe that the early Sparkmans took that command very seriously, and done their part to fulfill that command. Trust me from Birmingham Ala to the State line west to Mississippi to the State line East to the Georgia State line there are multitudes of Sparkmans. Trust me I sure thank you for making contact we me and look forward to chatting with you any time you have the time. The information I have that there were six brothers that came to the Americas, landed what we know today as North Caroline in the late 15 or 1600's. They roamed around a few years in that area, the five of them decided to move on, one remained there the others migrated to the north west to what we know today as being murphysburg Tenn. there is a suburb there called Sparkman town Tenn. after awhile three of the brothers decided to move on, one kept trek to the north west, the other two set out south west. Gr. grand fathers , Lewis and Anderson Bryant set down in morgan county Ala at flint creek. Grand father Anderson Bryant was only nine years old at that time. which was 1852. the federal land grant came into being in 1854 at which time Grand father Lewis entered from the Government a section of land (660 acres). Today stands oak ridge Methodist church. The other brother kept going to the south west, put down in Mississippi, then later either he are some of his descendants migrated to Texas. I very clearly remember my father Fred Brenning Sparkman speaking about a cousin Charlie Sparkman that lived in Texas. as you can see I believe we are moving closer to being off spring of the original group.

Also why if he was a minor was he married in 1849 to Rachel Martin? To have been a minor in 1857 he would have to have been born no earlier than 1836/37. Henry and Rachel were the parents of Sarah E.

He was a Democrat in politics, a tiller of the soil by occupation, and a prominent member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, and died in Hardeman County in September, 1877.

In 1853 he came to Hardeman County and after living at different places, in 1865 he purchased the farm where he now resides. Mr. Black began life poor but by close application to business, and industry and economy has secured a fair portion of this world’s goods, owning 800 acres of good land in his county, and a water grist-mill and cotton-gin on Mill Creek. May 10, 1855, he married Miss Ann E. Toone, a native of Hardeman County, born February 5. 1839, and to them have been born six sons, five now living.

George Thomas Sparkman205,206,207,208, born June 1764 in Windsor, Bertie County, North Carolina209; died 16 April 1816 in White Co., Tennessee. He was the son of 64. Edward Sparkman and 65. Unknown Wife. He married 33. Martha " Patsy " Bryant 22 February 1791 in Bertie Co, North Carolina, George Hews (Hughes?) Bond210. 33. Martha " Patsy " Bryant211,212, born 1772213; died Aft. 1820 in White Co., Tennessee, probably214,215. Notes for George Thomas Sparkman: 1790 North Carolina Census Index, p. 63 Bertie County, p. 015 SPARKMAN, George 01-01-02-00-00 George T. Sparkman was not listed among the inhabitants of the North Carolina state census for 1784-1787, however he does appear in the 1790 federal census and is head of a household that consists of hisself, one white male under 16 or over 60 (this is probably Lewis b. 1785), two white females and one slave. The females would have been Ruth Holley Sparkman and Nancy Sparkman, daughter of Ruth and George who was born about 1786. Where was their daughter Rutha? She would have been about a year old, give or take a few months, and depending on when in 1790 the census was taken. Or is it possible that Ruth Holley Sparkman was already deceased and the two white females listed in the household of George are Nancy and Rutha, his daughters. George remarried after the death of Ruth Holley. On February 22, 1891 he married a second time to Martha "Patsy" Bryant. George & Patsy moved from the Tanasive Territory of the Great Smokie Mountains, North Carolina to Sparkmantown, in Van Buren County, Tennessee in 1803. Of their ten children, Nancy, George, Thomas Bryant and Thomas Bryants's son Peter Rowen all lived in Van Buren County and raised large families and even today there are descendants of these children living in the area. Solomon moved to Missouri about 1854. George Sparkman, Patriotic service during the Revoulutionary War, when he furnished supplies for the Army in Bertie Co., North Carolina. He enlised in Bertie County, North Carolina in 1783. Van Buren is just one of the ninety-five counties in the state of Tennessee. It was formed from counties that touched the borders of the county, namely White, Warren and Bledsoe and these three counties were shortened by a distance of two hundred and fifty-five miles to creat the new Van Buren County. White was the oldest of the three original counties, being formed in 1806, then Bledsoe County was formed in 1807. As one might think, Van Buren County was named after President Martin Van Buren, who held the highest office of the United States from 1827 until 1841. White County was named for John White who was most likely the first settler in the White County area. He is buried in the Union Church graveyard near River Hill, White County, Tennessee. Last but not least, Bledsoe County was named for a Revoulutionary soldier by that surname. Mr. Bledsoe was killed about 1789 by Indians in Sumner County, Tennesse, which was his native home. An act of the Tennessee State Legislature created Van Buren County in January of 1840. The county was made up mostly of level land and mountains, and more than half of the county is part of a range known as the Cumberland Mountains. The biggest part of the land within the county boundaries belongs to land and timber companies. Why? Well it is because the timber and coal are valuable natural resources and the state does not want them depleted in a rapid manner. The soil of the county is a sandy loam, and with proper treatment has and will produce any crop a farmer might want to plant, but especially vegetables do well. Due to the average yearly rainfall of fifty inches the pastures are very green, and lush areas for livestock to graze. The section of the state in which Van Buren County is located rests on a plateau that is about two thousand feet above sea levelo and is the reason that the summers are cool and the winters quite cold. The Cumberland and Appalachian Mountains extend from the northern portion of the state of Alabama toward the eastern portion of the United States. (REF: "Early History of Van Buren County" by Dorothy Cope, Van Buren Historical Society Quarterly, Vol. XVII, No. 1, p. 4) Among the early settlers and our ancestors/relatives of Van Buren County, or those that were there when the county was formed in 1840 G. P. Cummings (Gabriel Penn Cummings), Joseph Cummings, Jr., Alfred Hill, Elijah Hill, George Sparkman & Hardy (Hardiman) Sparkman. In the following pages of this genealogy are the families of these men and their descendants, and in some cases ancestors. In July of 1841 there was an enumeration of white males over the age of 21 years for Van Buren County, this was the second year of the countys' exsistence. Among the men were the following Sparkman's Bryant Sparkman ( Thomas Bryant born 1803 as Jr., would not have been 21 years of age), D. Sparkman (David?), Edmond Sparkman, two George Sparkman's, Hardy Sparkman (Hardiman), James Sparkman, John Sparkman, Lewis Sparkman, and William Sparkman. The remainder of the list reads like a Who's Who of Van Buren County prominent citizens as well as relatives of the Sparkman family. In the Department of Cultural Resources Division of Archives and History for the State of North Carolina is the following recorded document. The following is a typewritten copy of the original copy sent to a descendant in 1982.

George Sparkman Witt: Jeffe Williams Peter Carter and Joseph Cummings Apr. Sephon, 1816 Jacob O'Hair, Clerk of Court Probated July 1, 1816 (Note: Sephon is more than likely mispelled and should be session) George and Patsy as she was known, built a home in Cold Holler, Tennessee and were buried in the Cold Holler Cemetary which was just across the road from their home. After they passed away their son Thomas Bryant lived on the farm. He sold the property to John Hollingsworth the last day of March, 1858 and bought two other farms just down the road at Stoney Point. Bryant, Eleanor, Solomon and daughter Eleanor are buried in the Cold Holler Cemetary along with George and Patsy. In 1891 there was a G. W. Sparkman who paid taxes in Van Buren Co., Tennessee, this is undoubtedly George W. Sparkman, son of George and Patsy, and husband of Berthenia Goddard.

Many of these men were from surrounding counties but in the following the complete companies are given wherever possible and no attempt was made to separate them in the following information. The data on Murray's 22nd Tennessee Battalion, Company E, was taken mainly from TENNESSEANS IN THE CIVIL WAR, VOL II. Data on the 35th Tennessee ?Infantry REgiment was taken from MILITARY ANNALS OF TENNESSEE by Lindsley, where as information on the 16th Regiment, Company I was taken from CAMPAIGNS and BATTLES OF THE SIXTEENTH REGIMENT, TENNESSEE VOLUNTEERS, by Thomas A. Head and the data on the Union Soldiers was obtained from the 1890 CIVIL WAR VETERANS CENSUS OF TENNESSEE by Sistler. Data was also extracted from military files, in the Tennessee State Library, TENNESSEANS IN THE CIVIL WAR., VOL. I & II, MUSTER ROLLS OF THE 35TH, COMPANY C, MY GRANDFATHERS DIARY by Carroll H. Clark and the 1860 Van Buren County Census. Records for the 1st Confederate Calvary Regiment, Company H., were not found, as due to a supposed train wreck the records of this unit were lost in transport. More information on some of the following companies is accessible, in that the files are available on some of the soldiers at the Tennessee State Archives in Nashville. There is a partial list of those who were killed or died in service, promotion and rank while in the service and ectera. COMPANY E The 22nd, also known as the 2nd and as Murray's Battalion Tennessee was composed of nine companies A to H and K. Companies F, G, H, and K had formerly been serving with or in the 4th (Murray's) Regiment Tennessee Cavaltry and they were transferred to this battalion when that regiment disbanded in January of 1863. The battalion was consolidated, temporarily only, with the 38th Regiment of the Tennessee Infantry in 1863, however each company of the two separate organizations was mustered separately and under its original designation during the period covered by the consolidation. There was only one Sparkman in this unit, and that was W. R. Sparkman. W. R. was possibly William Reed Sparkman, however which one the author is not sure. Other members of this unit who are/were related to the Sparkman family are Joseph Cummings, Smith Denton, the three Dillion boys, the Grissoms', the Hillis's, to name a few. Most of the men were either kin or kin to kin. COMPANY C This particular company was successively named as Company 'C' Mountain Rifle Regiment Tennessee Volunteers; Cummings' Company and Company C, 5th Tennessee Regiment Provisional Army; and Company 'C', 35th Regiment Tennessee Infantry. This regiment was brought into being on September 11th, 1861 and was accepted into the Confederacy on October 31, 1861. In the field the unit was known as the 5th Tennessee Regiment Provisional Army and as the Mountain Rifle Regiment Tennessee Volunteers, but officially designated as the 35th Regiment Tennessee Infantry by the A.I.G & ?O. Like other units it was consolidated with another unit, in this case the 48th (Nixon) Regiment Tennessee Infantry by S.O. No.3, Headquarters, Polk's Brigade, dated September 27, 1863, until the latter was transferred to the 48th (Voorhies') Regiment Tennessee Infantry by S.F.O. No.46, Headquarters, Army of Tennessee, dated July 14, 1864, but each company of the two organizations was mustered separately and under the original designation during the period covered by this consolidation. About the 9th of April, 1865, the 4th, 5th, 19th, 24th, 31rst, 33rd, 35th, 38th, and 41rst Regiments of the Tennessee Infantry were combined to form the 3rd Consolidated Regiment of the Tennessee Infantry which was paroled at Greensboro, North Carolina, May 1, 1865. There were four Sparkman's listed on the muster rolls of this unit, namely Arthur Sparkman, George Sparkman, John Sparkman, and Thomas B. Sparkman. Company I During its' exsistence, this company was known by various names, Captain York's Company, Captain Randal's Company and Company 'I', 16th Regiment Tennessee Infantry. The 16th Regiment Tennessee Infantry was organized June 10, 1861, and re-organized in May of 1862. On about April 10th, 1862, a number of the members of this regiment re-enlisted for the duration of the war in Captain P. H. McBride's Cavalry Company, which subsequently became Company "I", 4th (McLemore's) Regiment Tennessee Cavalry. On the 9th of April, 1865, the 1st, 6th, 8th, 9th, 16th, 27th, 28th, and 34th Regiments Tennessee Infantr7y and the 24th Battalion Tennessee Sharp Shooters were consolidated and formed the 1st Consolidated Regiment Tennessee Infantry, which was disbanded or paroled at Greensboro, North Carolina on May 1, 1865. There were four Sparkman men in this unit, they were Elvin Sparkman, G. W. Sparkman, Nelson Sparkman and Thomas B. Sparkman.

Subj: Grainger County Date: 3/4/00 2:42:03 PM Pacific Standard Time From: fis@iquest.net (David Sparkman) To: SUESGENES@aol.com (Sue Eagle Sparkman) Sue, Hoyte and I had a wonderful time researching in Grainger County. We metfor dinner Wednesday night, and tackled the Grainger Court house onThursday and Friday. 1. We have scans of all the Sparkman deeds we could find, and haveevidence that Old George was probably settled in the Richland Knobbscommunity of Buffalo Springs before Grainger became a community. Detailsto follow. 2. We did not locate the early tax records, but the old school houseauditorium was filled with records. 3. We did find the records and have scans of all the proceedings leadingup to the indictment of John "Jacky" Sparkman for murder. Itwas the first book we picked up in the old school house. We didnot find the record of the trial. But we found the record of the trialcost, and payments that were made by the State because John and Betsywere acquitted. Hoyte, a decendent of John was relieved. 4. We did not find the old marriage book that I had seen in 1975, but wefound the actual bonds and marriage certificates, and scanned the lot ofthem from 1797 to 1859 for any Sparkman. We also got some Ray marriages.In total we have about 33 marriage/bond records front and back. 5. We visited Owl Hole Gap and the farms around where we think the earlysparkmans settled. We found the Buffalo Springs Baptist Church founded in1792. We visited a few grave sites, and Hoyte demonstrated how he couldfind graves with coat hangers. We think George's land records are probably in Jefferson County, andpredate the formation of Grainger County. (One 50 acre plot sold by Lewiswho was acting for the then deceased George, was from a grant given toChristian Rhodes filed in Jefferson before Grainger was formed.) We also picked up a few unknown sparkmans, and another cousin from NC.Details to follow.

Grantee - George Sparkman, Same. Date 31 October 1808. Proven February term 1811. Registered 7 May 1811. Price $400. Location: Grainger County, South side Richland Knobbs. Description: Beginning on a white oak and hickory running thence south 30, east 150 poles to a white oak and hickory then north 60, east 50 to a chestnut and spanish oak, then south 50, east 14 poles to 2 black oaks, thence north 80, west 244 poles to a stake thence a direct course to beginning - containing 200 acres. Witnessed: Richard Coates, Micagah Lemons. From David Sparkman 9/1/01 "George Sparkman son of Edward was appointed overseer of the South Richland Knobbs, Owl Holler Gap road beginning in about 1801. This has been located running between state road11E and state road 92, both running out of Rutledge, Grainger County, Tennessee. This would suggest that he lived close to or on the current Owl Hollow Gap Road. Washington was the first organized count of Tennesse with count seat in Jonesburo, Tennessee. Sommer was formed from Washington County in 1779 with count seat in Blountville, Tennessee and included the land we are looking for. Hawkins was formed from Sommer Count in 1786 and included the land north of the Holston river which count seat in Rogersville, Tennessee. This included the land we are looking for. Jefferson County was formed in 1792, and may or may not have contained the land. But for sure, it contained the land on the immediate south side of the Holston river, so it was worth searching. The county seat is in Danville, Tennessee. Research Conclusions: 1776 to 1779 events would be recorded in Jonesburo, Washinton County 1779 to 1786 events would be recorded in Blountsville, Sommer County 1786 to 1796 events would be recorded in Rodgersville, Hawkins County 1796 to present events would be recorded in Rutledge, Grainger County. 1782 to present, any spillover the south side of the river would be recorded in Danville, Jefferson County. Land Records - no Sparkman transactions in Sommer or Jefferson Counties Marriages - no Sparkman transactions in Jefferson Court Records - Jefferson not available: not organized, and searching not permitted in Jefferson Further Research: The missing records from George's arrival in South Richland Knobbs are most likely located in Rogersville. In general, we would be looking for his purchase of land, tax records, and his interaction with the courts. Marriages should be searched to say we were thorough, but none are expected. By the Way The land sold by Georges Estate references a Christian Rhoads as being the original owner. This man appears to have been a land salesman (speculator) who worked with a John Manefel or, more likely, Manefee. He purchased land at 50 shillings to the 100 acres from the State of North Carolina, and made lots of purchases. Ref land grants 406, 441, 443, etc. These are original grants: i.e. the first transfer of the land if you don't count the dubious sale of the land from the Indians. I hope this will be cleared up by a through search of Rodgersville. Research Parameters and Guesses George did not move west until his marriage to Martha Bryant as he had 2 small children and couldn't have traveled on his own. George may have been closely attached to his father due to being the only two from the immediate family who served in the war. He may have headed west when Edward died, and broke that bond. This suggests that the move west happened c. 1886/7 ???

[who was this?] 1 f 26-45 Martha [36-45 by correlation of 1810 Grainger Co., and 1820 White Co., Tennessee census], the widow of George Thomas Sparkman, Sr. This would make her date of birth sometime between 1775-1784. NOTE: Previous indications were that "Martha was a daughter of Thomas Bryan[t] and Sarah Hunt. However after being in correspondence with several descendants of this couple am inclined to beleive that this is not accurate. SO WHO WERE HER PARENTS? She was a resident of Bertie County at the time of her marriage to George T. Sparkman. Is it possible that she was a daughter of William? Bryant and Mary Hill? Mary Hill was a daughter of Robert Hill and Tabitha Scarborough Smart who was a daughter of Colonel William Smart and Tabitha Scarborouggh a descendant of Col. Edmund Scarborough of Virginia fame. Note: August 2000, in going through some papers and booklets I came across the following statement in THE SPARKMAN FAMILY by Jesse Lee Sparkman, a descendant of William Lewis Sparkman [1855-1950], p. 15-16: "On February 22, 1791 George [George T. Sparkman] remarried, with Martha [Patsy] Bryant. With her surname the given name Bryant entered the family. [There is a strong possibility that her family name was also spelled Bryan, since there are few BRYANTS and many BRYANS in the Bertie County references by Hathaway. Members of the same family used both spellings. Those Bryans used the name "Martha" frequently, and were descended from a Thomas Cullen, an early member of a Virginia Governors Council, and collaterally related to Virginia Governor Blount]. If true this kinship is probably not close enough for us to claim it." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Excerpts from White County, Tennessee Public Records, - by Hoyte Cook, revised May 1999 Excerpts from White County, Tennessee Public Records 10-31-1816 Deed from George Sanders to Moses Godard, 80 acres, part of Grant 3011,...mentions George Sparkman,...witnessed by Ephriam Shockley & Richard Medley 10-15-1817,...Deed Book F, Page 320, Deed from Lewis Sparkman to George Morgan Brown, 10 acres, "on the south side of the Caney Fork", ...mentions Jesse Keithley, ...witnessed by Micajah Simmons, Moses Godard, & William Sparkman 3-24-1821,...Deed Book G, Page 74, Deed from William Sparkman to George Sparkman, 80 acres, "on the south side of the main Caney Fork", part of Grant 3011, ...witnessed by Ephriam Shockley, James Carter, & Joseph Cummings 8-10-1821,...Deed Book I & J, Page 137, Deed from George W.

Sparkman Community Center. Site of Sparkman School from about 1905 to 1960. Meeting place of Hopewell Baptist Church from 1930s to 1953. 2. Stony Point Cemetery. Burial plot for family of Joseph Cummings (1762-1853). Believed to have begun around 1815. Also believed to be the burial place of John Medley. 3. Sparkman Cemetery. It appears that this cemetery was started in the 1850s. Although the Sparkman family is well represented here, it appears that it began as a neighborhood cemetery. 4. Site of the home place of George Sparkman II and his wife Berthina Godard Sparkman. It is believed to have been built in late 1840s, and was the headquarters of the Sparkman "Plantation". There were slave cabins in the lot east of the house. George died here around 1875. Later, this was the home of the Edmond Sparkman Family, and of Grover & Angeline Sparkman & Family. (See posted photograph of the house in its state of ruin.) 5. Site of early homeplace of George Sparkman II...mentioned in 1831 deed. 6. First site of Hopewell Church. This church was mentioned in the minutes of the 1807 Stockton Valley Association meeting. 7. Second site of Hopewell Church. This was the site of the 1852 meeting of the Caney Fork Association of Old Baptist. (See posted group photograph of some of the people who attended this meeting.) 8. Third site of Hopewell Church. Building was torn down in 1930s. The bell that was used at this site is presently being used by the "Old Country Church" in White County --per Mr. Ken Slatton. 9. Homeplace of Moses Sparkman, son of George II. Berthina Godard Sparkman died here in 1895. 10. Cummings Ford. 11. Sparkman Ford. The home of Solomon Sparkman, son of George I, was near this spot until his family relocated to Missouri in the 1850s. 12. Homeplace of William Sparkman, son of George II. Formerly owned by Edmond Godard. 13. Homeplace of Daniel & Elizabeth Godard Hollingsworth...who came to this area from Patrick County, Virginia around 1825. 14. Daniel Hollingsworth Family Cemetery. It probably was started by the Smallman Family in the 1820s. 15. Cold Hollow Cemetery. It is likely that the first burial was of George Sparkman I in 1816. 16. Home place of George Sparkman I (1765-1816) and wife Martha "Patsy" Bryant Sparkman,...and later the home place of Bryant and Eleanor Cummings Hill Sparkman. 17. Home place of William "Buck" Hollingsworth family,..and later the home place of Ben and Betty Sparkman & family. Ben Sparkman (1840- 1925) was born a slave. He worked in Big Bone Cave...mining salt-petre for gunpowder during the 1860s war. 18. Home place of the John Smallman family..who came to this area from Patrick County, Virginia around 1820. This is also believed to have been the place of residence of Moses & Jane Godard in the early 1830s while they were guardians of John Smallman's orphan children. It was the home place of Stephen & Sarah Moore Hollingsworth and their family;...of Elijah Sparkman & his wife Nancy & their family, and his wife Darthula & their family;...of Mal & Bernie Sparkman and their family,...of Wiley & Sophia Sparkman & family, and of Clifford & Ruth Cook & their boys. 19. Former Homeplace of John & Clementine Moore Hollingsworth. Jack Hollingsworth, son of John & Clementine, sold the property to James & Myra Lou Cummings around 1906. "Jim" died here in 1945. 20. Cummings Chapel & Cemetery. Cemetery was started in 1870s. This has been the meeting place for the Joseph Cummings Society Reunion since the 1930s. 21. Big Fork Cemetery,...and former location of Big Fork Church. The Church was mentioned in the minutes of the 1808 meeting of the Stockton Valley Association. The traffic to River Hill Ferry used to pass by this spot. When the ferry closed, Big Fork was suddenly "off the beaten path", and drew less and less attention. By my count, there were 236 graves here in March, 1998--most of them not identified. Families buried here include Cummings, Shockley, Madewell, Haston, and very likely Denney & Moore. 22. Homeplace of the family of Joseph Cummings, Jr. At the time of his death in 1853, Joseph Cummings, Sr. (the Revolutionary War Veteran) also lived here. To the best of my knowledge, this land once was the property of William Denney...and came into the hands of Joseph Cummings, Jr. through his marriage to Ann Denney. This was later the homeplace of William & Margaret Cummings Mitchell and their family,...and of Will & Ella Mitchell. 23. Site of the homeplace of Beauregard & Avo Shockley,...and of the parents & siblings of Beauregard in earlier times. The house was a two-story building with a full-length upstairs porch. It was burned by vandals in the 1960s. 24. Site of the homeplace of Jim Sparkman, son of George II. 25. Homesite & burial place of the John R. Sparkman family. Fred & Nora Sparkman also lived, died & are buried here. The house was torn down in the late 1970s or early 1980s. The southwest corner of the front yard was also the beginning corner of the 1859 land grant to George Sparkman II. 26. Site of the old Sparkmantown post office.

Homeplace of Celia Mayes, and later of her son Moses Mayes--who died here in the early 1870s. This land was part of a tract that Moses Godard purchased from George Sanders in 1816. 29. The Periwinkle Spring. Thomas Bryant (Tommy) Sparkman, and later his son Leslie...lived on the east side of the stream. Some pictures are posted that were taken at this site in 1911 at a reunion of some descendants of "Squire" George Sparkman. 30. Homeplace of "Squire" George Sparkman. The house was later the home of Lou Mitchell Dodson & Dan Dodson. Dan Dodson died here in 1948. The house is presently the home of Shirley Dodson Walker & Collier Lee Walker. Beech Cove Cemetery is on the ridge between Sites 29 & 30. It is the burial place of "Squire" George Sparkman and his two wives, ...and of the William Dodson family--who came to this area around 1808. The land grant by which this land was conveyed to William Dodson was signed by Sam Houston--who was governor of Tennessee at the time, and later became governor of Texas. 31. Denney Ford ...and site of Denney Ferry. 32. Plumlee Ford. New Highway 111 (not shown on the map) now crosses the Caney Fork River at this spot. 33. Hodges Bridge ...also the site of Hodges Ferry. This was known long ago as Dungeys old Ford.

Notes for George Thomas Sparkman, Jr.: Among the Sparkman's enumerated in the 1820 Census of Tennessee were George Sparkman,Jr., Hugh H., Jesse, Kinchen, Martha Bryant Sparkman, Umphres W., William, Bryant son of George Jr., and Williams. In 1858 George Sparkman, Jr. received a land grant for 1,500 acres of land which was Sparkman Town. He bought as many as eight slaves giving five to six hundred dollars a piece for them. That amount of money was a great deal for those times. It is safe to assume that George Sparkman Jr., was a rather wealthy man. 1820 White County, Tennessee Census, page 344 George Sparkman, Jr. household 1 m to 10 :William 1 m 18-26 George Sparkman, Jr. age 26 1 f to 10 Angelina, age 1 1 f 16-26 Berthinia 22?

THE TRADE There was a place and time,...when the idea of each household having a telephone or a television seemed like fantasy. Although I was very young, I had the good fortune to live for a while in that place and time. It was the hills of Tennessee in the late 1940's and early 1950's. People usually tried to finish with supper by six-thirty in the evening, because it was understood that seven o'clock was the start of visiting time. You never knew who might come visiting;...they couldn't call you and tell they were coming. On some nights you might have two or three A-Model Fords parked in your yard at the same time...visiting. The grown folks would generally sit on the porch and talk if the weather was warm...and the younguns would play. Then when it started getting good and dark the grown folks would generally move indoors and light a lamp (or turn on an electric light if they had electricity),...and the youngsters had to come in and sit and be quiet while the adults talked. By the time the kids got corralled, all the comfortable chairs had usually already been taken. I have slept on coal piles that were more comfortable than some of those cane-bottom straight chairs that I fell asleep in while listening to talk about raising tobacco, doctoring cows, canning beans, and what a "sweet old boy" Harry Truman was. Two places that I always liked to visit...and never fell asleep in my chair...were the home of Uncle Fred & Aunt Nora Sparkman and the home of Uncle Grover Aunt Angie Sparkman. Grover & Angie had electricity; Fred & Nora didn't. Uncle Fred stood about five-foot-seven, wore a black hat, and a pair of glasses with little bitty lenses like hippies wear. His normal tone of voice was a raspy baritone, but he squeaked a little when he got excited. His daddy had been in the Big War...(of the early 1860's). Fred could sit there by the coal-oil lamp and tell tales for a week and never tell the same tale twice...and I could have listened to him forever. He kept a WWI-vintage .45 automatic handy on the mantelpiece...along with a few dozen bottles of patent medicine with brown labels. I guess the labels were brown because the bottles of medicine had been aging there on the mantel since before the depression. Fred ran a grist mill...pulled it with the power-take-off of a 1930's-vintage John Deere tractor. We used to shell corn on Friday night and go get Fred to grind it on Saturday. I sure loved to hear that old John Deere run. If you've ever spent a couple of hours shelling corn, you probably know about blisters. Fred's brother-in-law Grover lived up the road a little piece in a big white house right in the center of the settle-ment...(Sparkmantown). He was a good man;...hard working, honest, fairly tall, blushed easily and spectacularly;...you could hear him laugh half-a-mile. A century prior, his house had been the headquarters of his wife Angie's grandpa's fifteen-hundred-acre plantation. The hand-dug well at the end of the front porch had the best water in it you ever tasted. If that old house could have talked, it could have told a lot. Grover and Angie could tell a lot also when they got wound up. We visited a lot just like everybody else. I liked to visit homes where there were kids to play with, but never balked at going down to Fred's or to Grover's. My Daddy did not grow up in Sparkmantown;.....and did not have a total grasp on the fact that, for all the talking that was done, there were a few things that just weren't talked about in Sparkmantown. One of these things innocently popped up in conversation one night when we were visiting down at Grover's. Daddy was telling about some of the strange stories that he had heard since coming to Van Buren County,...and gave an example of a situation in which a Van Buren County man had left his wife at home and gone away to fight in the War Between the States,.....was not heard from for a long period of time;...his wife figured he was dead...so she married someone else. Then, a while later, the "original" husband came home and found his wife living with a "new" husband. The "new" husband and the "original" husband were said to have sat down to work things out;...and at the end of the discussion, the "original" husband rode away carrying the "new" husband's prize shotgun...and the "new" husband kept the wife. Daddy told this story in the spirit of good humor;....but I remember things being sort of quiet there in Grover's & Angie's house for a few minutes after Daddy told that story. When we had finished our visit, and were in the truck headed for home, Mama said to Daddy, "I wish I could have reached and pinched you while you were telling about that shotgun trade;.....THAT WAS GROVER'S GRANDPA!" I remember things being sort of quiet there in the truck the rest of the way home. More than forty years later, something nudged a compartment in my memory, and the conversation of that evening at Grover's & Angies was recalled. At this time, however, with age having diverted my curiosity toward non-childish things,...I proceeded to go looking for the identity of Grover's GRAND-MA...(since it was reasonable that she might have been closely involved with some of the capers of Grover's GRAND-PA). Of Grover's two grandmas, I quickly focused on his maternal grandma....Rosie McBride Hayes Yates. Rosie McBride appears to have given birth to an illegitemate daughter, Lodema, sometime in the mid-1850's. I say this because Lodema used the name McBride when she got married to Drew Spears many years later. According to the Van Buren County, Tennessee marriage records, Rosie married Jacob Hayes (Hais) on November 1, 1855. The 1850 census found a Jacob Hayes living in the household of Amanda Hayes in District 11 of White County . It would seem reasonable that this was the same Jacob Hayes that married Rosie. I have not yet found where Jacob and Rosie were living when the 1860 census was taken. Madison Hayes,...however, is found in the 1860 census....living in the household of John Yates, a preacher who gained considerable notoriety in his time. Preacher John Yates is said to have been born in Virginia in 1791,....and to have participated in the War of 1812. He is credited with having killed his horse by cutting its throat with a pocket knife;...and with riding a STEER thereafter,...with wearing a six-shooter while he preached,....and being the father of 33 children (I have found the names of more than 20 of them). I find that Jacob Hayes and James M. Hayes (James Madison Hayes, without a doubt) both joined the Confederate Army at the same place on the same day....Camp Smartt in Warren County, Tennessee...on September 6, 1861. Both went to Company C, 35th Tennessee. It is believable that these two Hayes boys were well acquainted;...and possibly related. I have not established, however, that they were brothers. Military records show that James M. Hayes....died from disease....June 10, 1862....near Tupelo, Mississippi. Military records also show that Jacob Hayes...deserted his unit...in Kentucky...September 4, 1862;...remained missing for "6 months and 27 days"...and then rejoined his unit on April 8, 1862. On July 1, 1863, Jacob appears to have "gone over the hill" again...this time taking with him a musket, 40 cartridges, and 52 caps...all being worth the stated amount of $71.45. He appears to have again returned to his unit (???);....because there is an entry in the records that show a J. Hayes of the 35th Tennessee receiving medical attention for a fractured right tibia on October 21, 1864 at Floyd House hospital. I can only speculate of the travels and activities of Jacob Hayes during those time periods that he was absent without leave;....but he must have had good explanations...to have been accepted back by his officers after desertion (people were known to be shot for desertion in those days). Also, it would be easy to believe that he might have been in a poor state of mind...with his friend (and possible relative) James M. Hayes having just died...and with the news of his wife Rosie having taken up with another man. Could he possibly have gone back to Van Buren County to try and work things out with Rosie? We have enough written documents to be reasonably sure that.....Rosie McBride Hayes and Preacher John Yates......set up housekeeping.... while Jacob Hayes was away "doing his patriotic duty" in the War between the States. We also have information that, not-withstanding the preacher's age, Rosie gave birth to at least seven children named Yates: (1) Lee Grant Yates, born Jan. 21, 1862 (possibly the child of Jacob Hayes,..."adopted" by the Preacher), (2) Jabel Yates, born Feb. 14, 1863 (3) Wayman Yates, born 1866, (4) Lucinda Yates, born July 8, 1871, (5) Barfine Yates, born March, 1872, (6) Luther Clinton Yates, born November 4, 1875, and (7) Mary Evaline Yates, born 1877 I do not know what eventually happened to Jacob Hayes,...nor do I know if he became an avid quail hunter and frequently purchased shotgun shells in the years following the War between the States;....and I have never found a single word of text that confirms that the "shotgun trade" actually happened....(I doubt that I ever could). Given, however,....the memory of those few words my Daddy spoke...in innocent fun...that night in old Sparkmantown so many years ago...and the remarkable consistencies in the public documents crying out to suggest that those spoken words might have hit close to the brutal truth;....I suppose I now understand why a few moments of silence followed the "funny story" Daddy told.

Sparkman, born 15 August 1808 in Grainger Co, Tenn (Date maybe Aug. 10, 1805 in Warren County); died 22 November 1887 in Pea Ridge, Benton Co., Arkansas; married Agnes " Aggy " Henderson 1830 in Van Buren Co, Tenn [1828 White County, Tennessee]; born 22 March 1812 in Tennessee (Mud Creek); died 22 November 1885 in Pea Ridge, Benton Co., Arkansas. Notes for Solomon R. Sparkman: Solomon Sparkman moved to Missouri about 1854. His wife Agness Henderson was from Mud Creek and two of his children married Millers. In the 1860 Census Solomon & Aggie as she was known, were residing in Cooper Twp., McDonald Co., Missouri. A Meadom ("Meadow") ^ Nancy J. Sparkman and children were living next door. A son. Living nearby were Truston & Nancy Brown Sparkman and their five children. On the 1870 census Solomon & Aggie are still in McDonald County but in the townshop of Fox, in or near the town of Pineville. Solomon and Agnes moved to Benton Co., Arkansas sometime after 1870. Why did they move after so many years in Missouri? In the 1880 census they were living in Brightwater Township, Benton Co., Arkansas. Both Solomon and Agnes died in Benton County, Arkansas and are buried there. Cemetary information found from there shows that Solomon was born August 10, 1805 and died November 10th, 1884, and for Agga/Agness "Aggie" is shows that she was born March 22, 1813, and died November 22, 1885. 1830 White County, Tennessee Census, page 15 Household of Solomon Sparkman 1 m 10-15 ? {perhaps an error in the census or a brother of Solomon or Agnes, to be consistent with the 1840 census it should be a male under the age of 5 category] 1 m 20-30: Solomon 22, son of George Thomas Sparkman, Sr. 2 f 15-20: Agnes 18, ?

More About Tabitha (Rutha) Sparkman: Burial: Cold Hollow Cemetery, Van Buren County, Tennessee Notes for Drury Simmons: The 1850 Census of White County Tennessee gives the following family of Drury Simmons & Rutha (not Tabitha) who was possibly Rutha Sparkman. Dwelling #419 DRURY SIMMONS age 44 Farmer $300 property born in S. C. RUTHA (SPARKMAN?) age 40 born in Tennessee William Simmons age 20 born in Tennessee James Simmons age 18 born in Tennessee Nancy Simmons age 17 born in Tennessee Solomon Simmons age 15 born in Tennessee Francis Simmons age 13 born in Tennessee Zacariah Simmons age 10 born in Tennessee Joseph Simmons age 8 born in Tennessee Martha Simmons age 6 born in Tennessee Stacy Simmons age 4 born in Tennessee Fineas Simmons age 1 born in Tennessee The above data would indicate that Drury Simmons was born in 1796 not 1806 as stated on the family group sheet and would make (Tabitha) Rutha born in 1810, and we know that Rutha who was married to Abner Ray was born in 1789. From this census record the children of Drury Simmons born 1806 are correct however his wife and these children's mother was not Rutha-perhaps the census taker was a little hard of hearing and misunderstood that Drury's wife was Tabitha Sparkman, not Rutha. Or even more likely is the possibility that Tabitha was already deceased, and Rutha, who would have been Tabitha's sister was just residing with Drury for a short while, although her name should be Rutha Sparkman Ray, not just Rutha Sparkman. The above theory is repudiated in that the 1860 White Co., Tennessee gives the family of Drury Simmons as follows, and as you can see his wife is listed as Tabitha, not Rutha as it was in the 1850 census. Drury Simmons age 55 Tabitha Simmons age 50 James Simmons age 28 and judged to be insane Solomon Simmons age 23 Francis Simmons age 21 Zechariah Simmons age 19 Joseph Simmons age 16 Martha Simmons age 14 Stacy Simmons age 12 Finis Simmons age 10 Note William and Nancy who were also children of Drury are not enumerated in the same household in 1860. The reason is that they were probably married and living in their own homes. The Simmons and Adair families lived near each other in White County, Tennessee in 1860 and of course they were good friends, some of the descendants of these two families intermarried with each others families as well as the Sparkman family.

He entered militarty service as a private in June 1776. In his first three month tour of duty he was dispatched to quell trouble with the Indians on the Tennessee. Five years later, in 1781, he served another three month tiur of duty on assignment to prevent the British from crossing the Dan River. At about this same time, one of the last major battles of the Revolutio was unfolding nearby at Guilford Court House, but apparently Thomas did not participate directly in this battle. Finally, he was sent once again to East Tennessee to serve his final tour to protect an area in Hawkins County from the Indians. A neighbor of Thomas and Catherine [Shropshire] Hill in Rockingham County was Winkfield Shropshire. When Winkfield migrated to North Carolina is not known, however we do know that on October 22, 1782, he was deeded one hundred acres of land on the North Fork of Buffalo Island Creek. However, like the Hills, he had most likely resided there a number of years. His property adjoined land owned by Gustavus Hill. He and his wife Jane Jones had a daughter named Catherine [1760-1854] as well as many other children. Jane and Catherine Shropshire were also members of the same church, Matrimony Baptist Church.

DECLARATION OF THOMAS HILL TO SECURE PENSION FOR SERVICE IN THE REVOULUTIONARY WAR: STATE OF TENNESSEE WHITE COUNTY On this 21rst day of August 1832 personally appeared before me Nathaniel W. Williams, Judge of the Circuit Court of Law and Equity for said state now sitting in said county of White, THOMAS HILL, a resident of White County and State of Tennessee, aged about 74 years who first being duly sworn accoirding to law doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress passed June 7, 1832. That he entered the service of the U. S. under the following named officers and served as herein stated. He was drafted in the company of Captain John Leak in what was then Guilford County, in the state of North Carolina, but the position of it in which he then resided has since become Rockingham County. The object of the draft was to raise men to go against the Cherokee Indians on the Tennessee River. This was a three month tour in the year 1776 and he beleives in the month of June Captain Leak's company was attached to Colonel James Martin's regiment. The troops marched to the Cherokee towns and destroyed them the first town they wntered was called Watagus, the second was called "Burning Town", the third was called "Echoto"with numerous smaller towns. This expedition was commanded by General Rutherford of North Carolin. This was about the same time that Colonel Christy marched against the indians from Virginia. This declarent then returned home, not having recieved a written discharge, but states that the company to which he was attachjed was "Mustered out of service" near the head of Catawba River in the state of North Carolina; The county he does not remember. His next service was the year of the Battle of Guilford. He turned out as a volunteer under Captain John May of Guilford County. According to the best of his recollection, this company to which he was attached on this poccasion also belonged to and was part of a regiment commanded by Colonel James Martin, but of this he is not positively certain. The object at this time was to protect the country from the ravages of the British who had penetrated the interior of the state. The special object of the forces to which he belonged was to prevent the British from crossing the Dan River. He was not in any battle. At the end of six weeks the company to which he belonged was releived by fresh troops and permitted to return home in order to obtain provisions and enjoy a short respite from the fatigues of war. They, however, soon returned to the service, and in the whole, this tour amounted to about three months. He was not in the Battle of Guilford, but Captain May was on his way to join General Greene's army on the day the battle was fought. He was acquainted with Colonel Martin, Colonel Paisley, and General Greene. After the Battle of Guilford he was permitted to return home. After this he came out to Holston, below the "Long of Slander" to what he now suppo9ses is the county of Hawkins. He there volunteered (under) Captain Robert King, as he beleived in the year 1782 to protect the country from the ravages of the Cherokee Indians. He is not positive whether this was in the year 1781 or 1782. He served on this occaision three months and was engaged in various skirmishes with the Indians. This was the last term of service which could be called such in which he was engaged. It is true he was subsequently out on what were termerd ranging or scouting parties, but for these services he asks nothing from his country. He has no documentary evidence by which the foregoing facts can be established nor is there any living witness within his reach whose testimony can be procured. 1. He was born on 12-22-1759 in the County of Guilford (Rowan,Orange) in the state of North Carolina which is now Rockingham. 2. He has no record of his age--the Bible which contained it, was in his house when it was burnt in Claiborn County, East Tennessee, about 27 years ago. 3. The places where he lived when he entered the Service have already been mentioned-towit-Guilford, North Carolina, where he remained something like eight years. He then removed to the county of Surry, North Carolina, where he remained about two years-from thebnce he removed to the county of Greene in the state of Georgia where he remained about thirteen years. He then came to Claiborne Co., in East Tennessee where he remained about two years. He then came to the county of White, where he now resides, and has resided ever since he came to it. 4. The manner in which he was called into service has been fully stated. 5. He has also stated "The general circumstance" of his services and has mentioned the names of those officers with whom he was acquainted. 6. He never received any written discharge-it was the custom of many occaisions for the militia to be "mustered out of service" as it was then called. 7. He states the names of the following individuals to whom he is knowed,"and who can testify as to his character for veracity, and their beleif on his having served as a soldier of the Revoulution, Viz: JAMES ANDERSON,ESQ., MAJOR JAMES RANDALS, THOMAS CRAWLEY, TURNER LANE,ESQ., JESSE LINCOLN of Sparta and THE REV'D JOHN GREEN. He hereby relinquishes every claim to a pension except the present or annuity and declares his name is not on the roll of any pension agency in any state.

This was as a Private Soldier." As to his second tour of duty as mentioned in his declaration, he states that he was a private soldier. As to the length of the tour, owing to the frailty of this memory, he knows not how to make any more expl;icit statement than the one contained in his declaration, and without employing the words "about three months" he now states that to the best of his recollection he was in the service, this tour, for the period of three months-this was under Captain John May, and will be seen, reference being had to his declaration. His third and last tour for which he claims was as a private, and under Captain Robert King. It will be see, on referring to his declaration, that this tour is explicity stated as one in which he served "Three months".

See also the inquiry in this forum about Jane Hill from Mrs. S.W. Mims. Apparently the Jane Hill she is looking for is in this family.

Notes for James Hill: James was a private in Russell's Separate Battalion of Mounted Gunmen, Tennessee Volunteers, War of 1812. He first came to White County, Tennessee [1] prior to the formation of the county, with his father, Thomas Hill and brother, Abner. It appears that he resided with his parents until about 1809. At this time he entered forty-eight acres on the south side of Caney Fork on September 4th, 1808. It is reported that at about this same time [2] he married Eleanor Comis Cummings, however since their oldest of four sons was born before then, he was most likely married before September of 1808. At anyrate, to supplement his income as a small farmer, he was involved in the distillery business. [3] In January of 1831, Claiborne Hill, son of James and Eleanor was twenty-one and received his inheritance from his late father's estate. James was either killed or died of wounds received, four days after the Battle of New Orleans, War of 1812. He was dues to be mustered out on 27 March 1815. This would have been enough time for tghe troops to have returned to Tennessee by late March. He left a widow with four small sons, who at the Aoril sessio of White County Court 1815 appeared as Administratrix & his father, Thomas Hill appeared as administrator and returned and inventory of the estate of James Hill, deceased, written entirely by Charles Leonard. Seven years later on April 15, 1822 his father Thomas Hill was appointed guardian of the boys. [4] On December 21, 1824, Thomas Hill, grandfather of the four sons of James, was granted fifty acres of land ti benefit the heirs of James Hill, namely Seabern, Thomas Jefferson, James Murray and Claiborne Hill. ============================================================== [1] Abner Hills' obituary [2] White County, Tennessee Minute Book, p. 16 [3] Inventory of the Estate of James Hill, 1815 [4] White County, Tennessee Minutes 1820-1823, p. 386 More About James Hill: Burial: Abt. 12 January 1815, New Orleans, Louisiana? Inventory: 1815, Inventory of James Hill Estate filed Notes for Eleanor Comis Cummings: Eleanor Comis Cummings was born in 1793/94 in Virginia, most likely Henry County, and she died about 1862. Her parents were Joseph Cummings and Rosanna Collier Medley Seibers. She was first married to James Hill, son of Thomas Hill and Catherine Shropshire and brother to Elijah Hill who married her sister Sarah Catherine Cummings. James Hill died from wounds sustained while fighting in the Battle of New Orleans (January 1815) on January 12, 1815. This was a battle of the War of 1812 in which Andrew Jackson's troops defeated the British after the peace treaty was signed on December 24, 1814, ending the war of 1812. James Hill & Eleanor were the parents of four children at this time and she was left a young widow with four small children to raise. While she was yet unmarried, she had an illegitimate daughter by one Thomas Ripley and the father of this daughter was hauled into court by James' father Thomas Hill, and was forced to pay child support for his daughter. After about three years Thomas Ripley disappears from the area and no one knew where he had gone. Because of the scandal, Thomas Hill went to court to obtain custody of his four grandchildren by his late son, James. He won the court case. Eleanor then married about 1819-1820 to Thomas Bryant Sparkman. The 1820 & 1830 census records of White County show that the daughter of Eleanor & Thomas Ripley is living in the home of Thomas Bryant Sparkman, and we can only assume that she more than likely took the Sparkman name. Nothing more is known about her. It is interesting to note that Eleanor & Thomas Bryant Sparkman's first child, Lewis Sparkman was married and lived in White County for a time, before moving his family to Morgan Co., Alabama where his grandson, U. S. Senator John J. Sparkman was born in 1899. REF: White County Court Records Tax Lists White County 1816,1817,1818 Eleanor's sister Mary married William Sparkman who was a brother of Thomas Bryant Sparkman, the husband of Eleanor.

Notes for Abner Hill, Reverend: At the age of seventy-three Rev. Abner Hill wrote his autobiography, which included the following account of his childhood: I was born in Rockingham County, N.C. on the 20th of August 1788. My father's name was Thomas Hill. He was the son of William T. Hill. I have heard my father say that he was of Welsh extraction. My mother's name was Catherine Shropshire, the daughter of Winkfield Shropshire of England. He lived to be very old -- I recon a hundred. He had 13 children by his first wife. She died. He lived a while with one of his married daughters. Living with her was a girl named Jane Jones who was of Virginia. My grandfather married Jane Jones, when she was only 15 years old. By her my grandfather had 13 children, making in all 26 children by his two wives. My mother, I think, was the seventh child by his last wife. I was my mother's third child. When I was old enough to go to school my grandfather was the teacher. He was then able to walk 6 miles on Sundays. When I was too young to remember my father moved from North Carolina to Georgia. My mother's people, the Shropshires, moved to Georgia and my father went with them. Georgia was then a new country. My father sold his land in N.C. for horses and cattle and drove them through to Georgia. His horses and mares all except one little bay filly and all of his cattle died except one little heifer. This left us very poor. My father having only enough money to buy seventy acres of land. Elijah, James, William and I were born in N.C. Jane, Winkfield, Hannah, Thomas, and Cynthia came in close succession, so that father and mother were much of the opinion that it was good for me, as it qualified me to bear the adversities of life with patience. This was regular honest work and gave me a good constitution. My father was a member of the Baptist Church and a firm believer in the Baptist doctrine. Mother was a faithful teacher, teaching me that there was a Heaven, a place of everlasting happiness, and a place of everlasting punishment where we would be sent when we died if we lived wicked lives. She taught us that if we lived good, God would take us to Heaven where we would be happy forever. She taught us that it was wicked to tell a lie, to steal, to get mad and fight, and to swear and to curse. Swearing we had learned from our uncle Shropshires, who used very profane language. I believed Mother. I understood that she was religious and thought she knew all about it. I was deterred from doing wrong from the belief that mother had taught us. I had never heard anyone pray. I was desirous of knowing how to pray but I was ashamed to ask mother to teach us how to pray. We lived on the frontiers. There was some alarming reports of Indians. Mother was afraid of Indians and so were we.

Notes for John Hughes: From: "Settlers of Stephens County, Texas, compiled by Adelle Whitby Olney and Flora Dee Goforth, 1974, printed by Three D. Illustrators, Inc., Denver, Colorado, p. 243 "We do not know all of the names of his children [speaking of John Hughes], but know that this family came from South Carolina, stopped in Talladega Co., Ala. before going on to Tex. to live in Washington, Lee, Williamson, Burleson and Bell Counties, Tex." The following is from an e-mail from Martha Galloway on 10 January 2000, and is transcribed verbatim: "I'm sure you know the story of this family coming to Texas from Talladega, Al with approx. 70 [Smiths, Dobbins, Hughes and others] arriving to the Brazos Valley in 1836. Let me tell you some of what I know. The Hughes were originally at Fort Oldham with Col. Oldham [near present Cook's Point, Burleson Co., Texas] for a year fearing Indian attacks. I have been to this site which is now owned by Black descendants of Col. Oldham. The Log Fort is lying in pile on the ground and a huge caldron (approximately 5' in diameter) is across the road in a cemetery. A sign notes that this cauldron was used to feed the settlers during their hold up in 1836-1837. There is a small historical marker about 1/2 mile away. It is a pity that this structure cannot be saved. It was one of the earliest buildings in this part of Texas. After Fort Oldham, the Hughes, Smith, and Dobbins lived approximately 7 mi NE of Caldwell near Providence Baptist Church. It was then known as the Post Oak Settlement they were founders of this church. As a matter of fact the church (and at one time, school) is on the John Hughes league and still functioning. It is beleived that John Hughes is buried there (according to church tradition...the old records burned.) My ancestors William and Elizabeth Connelly are also buried there. An Elizabeth Hughes is the oldest KNOWN grave. I beleive that John had quite an estate, tens of thousands of acres, probably for service to the Texas Revolution, and dozens of slaves. Wren was the adm. (I have numerous deeds, marriages and court records on the Hughes in Washington and Burleson Counties.) There was a lot of sickness in this area due ti the yellow fever [malaria] and a number of this clan succumbed during the 1840's. Several of the family moved further south to Washington Co. Later they traveled through Milam and finally on up north to Bell Co. area as many others did because the malaria epidemic stayed around for decades. I don't have any pictures...perhaps there are some out thyere. I'll be happy to refer you to some of the folks that I have been communicating with on this family. By the way, I live in Fayette Co., Texas less than an hour from the landing spot on the Brazos."

When I arrived home, I found that my monitor was dead and called Compaq and they delivered me a new one today. What service! Below is a copy of the information listed about Jonathan Joiner's pension application for his Revolutionary War service. It does not mention William and Elizabeth (Betsy Ann) Joyner, but gives the births of the other children and also lists a Jonathan Joiner that died at an early age. I wonder if Jonathan and William are the same (William Jonathan or Jonathan William). I hope that I can find his Revolutionary War Service Record - will probably have to write to the National Archives for it. I also got a certified copy of Henry Joyner's will and a list of his property at the Genealogy Library in Hernando, DeSoto Co, MS. Did not find Emily Elizabeth or other children named, but there were other books that I did not have time to go through. - Amy Abstract of Revolutionary War Pension Files (Jonathan Joyner/Joiner): Jonathan Joiner or Jonathan Joyner, Elizabeth (W300), GA Line, soldier was born in Southampton, VA and he lived in GA at enlistment and after the Revolution he lived in Halifax Co, NC for 20 years, then moved to Jackson Co, TN, then to Livingston Co, KY, and then to Hardeman Co, TN and soldier applied there on 9 October 1833 at age 80 and soldier died there on 25 July 1835, soldier had married in 1789, Elizabeth (---) in Halifax Co, NC.

I would like to get him in the DAR Patriot Index. If I can get his war record, then I can do it. By the way, Barbara Roach Knox wrote the book “ Amos Persons – His Forebears and Descendents” Amos Persons was the father of Cynthia Gardner Persons. He is in the DAR Patriot Index as having provided services for the Revolution. Barbara Knox is about 80/81 now and lives in Fort Worth. She has a Web Site. I will send you a link. I was told in an E-Mail that there is a copy of her book in the San Antonio library and also one in the DeSoto Co, MS Genealogical Library. I just did not know that when I was there a few weeks ago. You might check the Fort Worth library - I expect that there is a copy there as well. I also plan to write and get death certificates for Emily Elizabeth Joyner Solomon from MS to verify her parents and also several other grandparents to verify my lineage. – Sounds like you also have your hands full. Hope the wedding comes out okay and that your mother is fine. Now is the time to ask all those questions that you haven’t asked. Must close for now. Another line of my family has just discovered the will of the father of one of my ggggrandmother’s in Roane Co, TN and they are sending me 51 pages of the will and settlement. They will list my ggggrandmother by name as well as her siblings and her mother, so we are excited to get this information. - Amy -----Original Message----- From: SUESGENES@aol.com [mailto:SUESGENES@aol.com] Sent: Sunday, August 19, 2001 8:37 PM To: awindsor@getus.com Subject: Re: Joyner Info Hi Amy, Am so far behind I could scream! Have had a zillion and one things going on since early July, and there is no end in sight! Our middle son is getting married the 31rst of this month, and since her father can't or won't provide for the ceremony and etc., my hubby and I have been doing it. We are paying for their reception, and the Justice of the peace fees. Then our daughter-in-law to be miscarried 7 weeks ago tonight, my mother-in-law has been ill, and also had her family reunion to attend where my husband was elected 2002 president--so will be busy with that as well. After the kids wedding am flying to Spokane, Washington to spend a couple of weeks with my mother. She is 73 and for the most part healthy as a horse but just some little things have reached my ears that worry me, so am going up to check on her myself, and to take a breather! :) George and our youngest son will "batch" it for the couple of weeks. Mama is all the family I have left other than a few cousins and one aunt. Thanks you so much for sharing your finds on Grandpa Jonathan Joyners military service. I did not know that Elizabeth had filed for a pension, nor did I know that he had. Would love to have a complete copy and will write the Archives in D. C. for it when I return from Mom's. I bet Elizabeth's father, James Moore, and Jonathan's father Henry Joyner had one too--at least I think they may have had a pension. They both died in about 1790, so they may not have, don't know when pensions began, do you? But bet we can get their military service records! Hope everything is going well in Houston! Have heard the mosquitos are awful, doubtless from the floods you all experienced as result of the hurricane!

Henry Joyner, born 13 March 1803 in [alt date 19 March 1802]; died 14 January 1843 in Smithland, Livingston County, Kentucky; married Cynthia Gardner Persons February 1827 in Livingston County, Kentucky [she was not yet 15 when they married]; born 1812 in Georgia, probably; died 05 March 1879 in Mountain Home, Arkansas. Notes for Henry Joyner: In spite of the fact that Henry was some ten years older than Cynthia, his will evidence the fact that he loved her deeply in that he states "to provide well for my kind and loving wife." Research into Henry's life has revealed little concerning his Kentucky activities. Records do show that they once owned considerable acreage, however, no Kentucky land was involved in the settlement of Henry's estate. This may very well be because they made the decision to join the hundreds of emigrants who were lured by the reports of cheap Indian land in Mississippi in 1834. [1] Framily traditions states that they arrived in a coach drawn by six horse, where they established a new plantation home some six miles west of the present town of Hernando. In the fall of 1840 or perhaps in early 1841, a son, Jackson joined his three Kentucky born sisters. The schools in Mississippi were not up to standard, and so Henry, Cynthia and children removed to Tennessee, where their second son, Thomas was born. For some unknown reason they did not remain in Tennessee long, as Henry's will refers to DeSoto County as his home. In 1842 Henry went on a deer hunt, his horse slipped, and threw him off and then fell on him. The exact nature if the injuries that Henry sustained is not known, however the story goes that he "just dwindled away". Another version of this fatal injury/illness states that he died of heat prostration. As a last resort Cynthia is said to have taken him back to her old family doctor in Smithland, which was not a small task since she had a babe in arms and another one on the way. All treatment proved futile, Henry Joyner, son of Jonathan Joyner and Elizabeth Moore died 14 January 1843. That same night, Cynthia gave birth to their last child, Emily Elizabeth Joyner. When it was apparent that he would not survive his injuries/illnes, Henry Joyner wrote his will, dated 13 December 1842, which in part reads as follows: "I wish my wife Cynthia to have the use and control of all my estate so long as she may remain a widow and in the event of her inter-marriage with any person hereafter I wish all my real estate to go into the hands of my other executors [James T. Persons and William Joyner] for the use and benefit of my children, except my negro man Rob and his wife Chana which I wish my wife to have during her natural life then to descend to my children.....I wish my executors to sell the farm on which I now live at private sale...and the proceeds to be kept out at interest for the use of my children and as they become of age or marry I wish each to have his portion." To his three youngest children--Jackson, Thomas and an "unborn babe"--he bequeathed his stallion, Romulus, with further instructions to James T. Persons to have him brought to Kentucky, stand him for one season and then sell him for the best price available; the money to be divided equally among the three children. The staillion died before Henry's orders could be carried out. By the authority granted to her by Henry in his will, Cynthia sold two tracts of land and removed back to Tennessee. In January of 1846 she was a resident of Hardeman County. After her marriage to Randolph DuPriest Casey, Of Bolivar, Tennessee, in 1858, they moved to a farm near the present day resort town of Mountain Home, Arkansas. =============================================================== [1] After gaining recognition as a state, Mississippi claimed jurisdictionj over the Chickasaw Indians within her boundaries. Federal protective measures were declared null and void. In 1834 much of Northern Mississippi was opened to white settlers. More About Henry Joyner: Burial: Kentucky Will: 13 December 1842, Kentucky Notes for Cynthia Gardner Persons: Henry's untimely early passing left Cynthia with six children, three of whom were very young. By the authority granted to her by Henry in his will, Cynthia sold two tracts of land and removed back to Tennessee. In January of 1846 she was a resident of Hardeman County. After her marriage to Randolph DuPriest Casey, Of Bolivar, Tennessee, in 1858, they moved to a farm near the present day resort town of Mountain Home, Arkansas. At the outbreak of the Civil War, Mr. Casey, as Cynthia always called him, joined the Confederates. A search of the National Archives has failed to produce his service record, but it is known that he fought at Pea Ridge, which was one of the most decisive and bloodiest battles in the Arkansas-Missouri area. Ill health cut short Mr. Casey's military service in June of 1862. Cynthia was educated, she could read and write, and letters written by her to her daughter Martha, and granddaughter Elizabeth Hervey, are the only source of information concerning her later life [1]. The letters are dated from 1862 to 1878, however there are long periods in which there are no preserved letters. Thyroughout her writings, Cynthia runs a somewhat pathetic note--years of separation had made her Texas kin almost strangers--longing to see them was always battling with reluctance to attempt the hard trip--if only a railroad would come she could get on the cars but the railroad was some one hundred miles away---deaths were so frequent she had lost trace of how many of her brother's families were still living. The Casey's [Cynthia and her second husband] resided in the path of Federal Raider's in the 1860's, and suffered heavy losses at their hands. In an answer to her daughter's plea to escape further danger by moving to Texas Cynthia argued that they were too well fixed in that they had two thousand apple trees, also plenty of peaches, pears, cherries, quince, and every kind of berry imaginable. In 1870 Mr. Casey, along with his brother, Dr. J. M. Casey, as a partner, opened the first store in Mountain Home. Despite having to haul their goods a hundred miles, the business prospered. In 1872 Casey was "still merchandising and doing well." A hyouse was being erectd near the store with the expectationj of "renting it to a nice couple who would take us to board". The plan apparently worked, as they moved to town but not as boarders. In the next letter regret gave away to good news. Cynthia had a girl to do her housework so was greatly enjoying the extra time for her hobbies of piecing quilts, knitting stockings and making scrapbooks. [2] "I love to give presents" is a frequent introductions to an announcement of something she is sending in the way of her handwork to her never-seen granddaughters. A great source of irritation, however, was the uncertainty of the mail. In 1874 there was Special news, Mr. Casey had been elected to the Arkansas Legislature. The last letter in the collection was dated February 24, 1878. The March 8th, 1879 issue of the Mountain Home "Quid Nunc" carries the obituary of Cynthia Gardner Persons Joyner Casey in part as follows: "Departed this life at her residence in Mountain Home, Arkansas, on Wednesday evening at 6 o'clock, March 5, 1879, Mrs. Cintha G. Casey, consort of Col. Randolph D. Casey.....She professed religion and joined the Baptist Church at Mountain Home in August A. D. 1874. she leaves a concourse of friends and relatives to mourn her departure to the spirit world. She lived a consistent christian life to the last and no doubt is now numbered with the saints in glory. May the sod rest lightly on her grave; may the Lord temper the wind to the shorn lamb; and may the bereaves husband in his age and infirmity receive that heavenly consolation which remains for the people of God is the sincere prayer of a Friend." ============================================================== [1] After Elizabeth [Hervey] McMullan's death the letters that Cynthia had written were preserved by her daughter, Mattie [McMullan] Wheler, who shared them with the writer of the family history in the 1950's, and her daughter Mrs. Louise Vaughan was the custodian of the letters at last report. [2] Scrapbooks were very popular for all ages. Young ladies most usually filled their books by asking friends, including suitors, to send copies of their favorite poems.

[REF: Roster of North Carolina Soldiers in American Revolutionary War, p. 291, warrant #2880] No monetary amount is given as to what each heir of William Sparkman received. Edward Sparkman is shown as the owner of 470 acres on Barbour Swamp and 21 acres of land adjoining the "manor plantation", and 133 acres in Rogues Island in a Bertie County document dated 28 December 1785. The document was the Granting Dowery of Mary Garrett, his step mother. (REF: Bertie County, North Carolina Wills, p. 482) This family had land grants in the western portion of North Carolina in what was known as the "Tanasive Territory" and is now known as the Great Smokie Mountain Park. There is a family bible in the "Christis Garden" museum just outside of Gatlinburg, Tennessee. In 1781 Edward gave oath on a deed in Bertie County, North Carolina. The Bertie County Tax lists show the following Sparkmans': 1788 In one household EDWARD SPARKMAN GEORGE SPARKMAN, son of Edward WILLIAM SPARKMAN, ORPHAN, brother of Edward THOMAS SPARKMAN, brother of Edward 1790 Census of Bertie County, North Carolina shows the household of Edward as follows [1790 North Carolina Census "Index, p. 63, actual film p. 015 1 male 16 years of age or older 3 males under 16 years of age 3 females 0 other free white persons 0 slaves 1791 In one household WILLIAM SPARKMAN, orphan, son of Edward d. 1790 THOMAS SPARKMAN, orphan, son of Edward d. 1790 GEORGE SPARKMAN WILLIAM SPARKMAN On September 30th, 1785, the heirs of Edward Sparkman received military land warrant number 2579 for six hundred forty acres in recognition of his service of seven years as a private in the Continental Line from North Carolina during the American Revolution. This survey was run off on Brush Creek, a tributary of the Red River in what is now the state of Tennessee, northwest of the city of Nashville. Warrant Number 2579 was assigned by Isiah Sparkman on October 9, 1785 to John McNeese. John McNeese was apparently the Captain John McNeese who received countless number of claims in the Warrenton Settlements. The land that the heirs of Edward received was never occupied by the heirs. The veteran Edward that this land warrant pertains died before September 30th, 1785, and so therefore it is impossible that this is Edward son of Captain William Sparkman as he died in 1790. So! Who was this Edward Sparkman! Was he perhaps the same age as Captain William, perhaps a cousin. And who was the Isaiah Sparkman mentioned in the military land warrant? This is the only record that this writer has found regarding this gentleman. There were two other gentleman of the Sparkman family who were listed in the "Roster of Soldiers from North Carolina in the American Revolution". They are Reuben Sparkman, Private from Gates County in Captain Elisha Rhodes Company of the First North Carolina Regiment of Militia, and Jolley Sparkman who was paid claim #2864, received by William Faircloth at the Warrenton Settlements, for service as a private in the Continental Line of North Carolina. Neither Isaiah Sparkman or Jolley Sparkman were listed in the state census from 1784-1787 of North Carolina. They were not listed in the Federal census of 1790 either, however Edward Sparkman of Bertie County and Reuben Sparkman of Gates County are listed in both. In 1835, the Tennessee relations of Edward Sparkman granted a power of attorney to Aquilla Todd of Grainger County, Tennessee to help them get their share of their Uncle Edward's estate-in Bertie Co., N. C.".....the following year a bunch of other Sparkmans' followed suit...interestinly enough the following people were the ones who wanted thier "Uncle Edward's" estate In 1835 they were JOHN "JACKIE" SPARKMAN, son of James GEORGE SPARKMAN, JR or II, son of George b. 1765 SOLOMON SPARKMAN, son of George b. 1765 LEWIS SPARKMAN son of George b. 1765 BRYANT SPARKMAN (Thomas Bryant b. 1803), son of George b. 1765 WILLIAM SPARKMAN, son of George b. 1765 MICAJAH SIMMONS & NANCY, son-in-law & daughter of George b. 1765 DRURY SIMMONS & TABITHA, son-in-law & daughter of George b. 1765 FRANCIS SIMMONS & MARTHA, son-in-law & daughter of George b.1765 It is a pretty well known fact that George b. 1765, James, Thomas, etc. are descended from Edward Sparkman who died in 1790. In fact, Captain William Sparkman mentions both Edward and his son Edward in his will which is dated 1782 and proven in 1785. Like his father, Edward appears in the North Carolina records quite frequently from about 1764 through the time of his passing in 1790. Also like his father, and brother Jesse (William Jesse) he was on jury duty quite often. May 1787, David Curry juror in case of Joseph Hardy vs Edwd.

Query Forum Reply Here: ************************************************************* Surname: Byrd, Sparkman, Ritter, Bullard, Thomas, Akins ------------------------- Thank you to everyone who responded to my Byrd family inquiry. I am including here some of the descendants of Richard Byrd (1752-1818) who went to Cumberland Co. (which became Harnett Co.) Not very many people include Richard's son, George Washington Byrd, in their lists of descendants; so here he is. I would be happy to share more information on George if anyone is interested. Sarah Elizabeth Byrd who married David H. Nordan is our line. Also, I would like to know how some of the present-day Bertie Co. Byrd families connect to Richard Byrd (1752-1818).

REF: BYRD HISTORY AND RELATED FAMILIES OF AVERETT, CALLAWAY, CHANCEY AND GOFF by Tera Byrd Averett of Enterprise, Alabama REF: 1790 Bertie County, North Carolina census 1 male 16 yrs of age and older 2 males under 16 years of age 2 females [head of family] 0 all other free white persons 0 slaves From a genealogical research paper prepared for Mrs. Tera Byrd Averett by Charles R. Holloman in July 1978: "The remnant of Johnston County lies westward of Wayne County and still to this day constitutes a fairly large county on the Neuse River. It was to this 'new' Johnston County that the Byrd ancestor in this lineage eventually migrated from Falling Creek in Lenoir County. Richard Byrd who appears on the 1769 Dobbs County tax list as son of Richard Byrd the elder, migrated with other members of his family about 1807 to the southwestern area of present Johnston County and settled there on Mingo Swamp and Mill Branch, not far from the then Cumberland County line which is now Harnett County line with Johnston County. This researcher has visited among the Byrd families still there in search of information on the Byrd family. Indeed, Mrs. Holloman's family at Coats in Harnett County is related to these Byrds. The late Willie Byrd of Coats was grandson of Lemuel D. Byrd, a son of Richard Byrd, Jr., who died in Harnett County in July 1876 who was a son of the Richard Byrd of the 1769 Dobbs County tax list. The latter Richard Byrd died at his plantation on Mingo Swamp in Johnston County in 1818." Either the marriage date which came from the Averett work or the birthdate of Richard's son, Reddin, is in question because Richard mentions his two eldest sons, John and Edward, or perhaps there is another explanation. From Christine Page Bailey's book: "In 1809 Richard, Jr. (or Sr., as he called himself) moved to Johnson County and bought 4,000 acres of land. He continued adding to that and eventually owned 7,000 acres." Richard Byrd's Will was proven in Johnston Co. Court November 1818. Written 12 Nov 1807. Son John Byrd (638 A); Son George Byrd (638 A); Son Bright Byrd (638 A "...to the mouth of the Mill Branch..."); Son Richard Byrd (638 A); Son Redin Byrd (638 A "...to Laz Mathews line thence along said Mathew's to Philip Johnston line..."); Dau Elizabeth Allen (638 A); Also to Son George (furniture and more); Also to Dau Elizabeth Allen (furniture and more); Also to Son Bright Byd ("one feather bead and furniture and one cow and calf.

Subj: Sparkman/Richard Bird/Byrd Date: 9/24/2001 6:38:20 AM Central Daylight Time From: jleehunt1 To: SUESGENES CC: r-j.byrd@ix.netcom.com Hello Sue, I think that maybe it was you that sent me a Gen Report for Richard Byrd and Elizabeth Sparkman about a year ago at my former email address -- janmim@aol.com. (I found my Mills Landing somewhere on your site). If so, I thought you'd find the post pasted in below on the Bird list last night most interesting. If Richard Byrd's will written in 1807, does mention Benjamin's widow and a grandson Benjamin, it raises questions regarding the info you sent me that says Richard & Elizabeth's son Benjamin was born in 1806. As this is not my line for Byrds, I haven't ever followed up on them, but it certainly caught my eye....as the victim of the discovery of an 1800 birthdate for a 1807 marriage, where the father's name was given (John Waller, in a tri-county area filled with John Wallers), and his parents, based on two subsequent given names, were assumed....The collapse of a beautiful line..oh well.

It is widely believed that Elizabeth Sparkman married Richard Byrd on 30 July 1785, and they had the following children as listed in Richard’s will, proven Nov. Term 1818. Richard Byrd's Will, dated 12 Nov. 1807. Children: George Byrd Richard Byrd John Byrd Edward Byrd Bright Byrd Redding Byrd Elizabeth Allen Benjamin Byrd, deceased; Widow: Zilpha; and Grandson: Benjamin I believe that I descend from Richard Byrd through his son, Benjamin, who was deceased by 1803 (see document #1) I believe that son, Benjamin, deceased, had the following children: Benjamin Byrd*, grandson, in will dated 12 Nov. 1807. William Byrd* Pearsis/Pearcy* Ann/ Nancy* *See documents #2 and #3 It should be noted that according to "The Researcher’s Guide to American Genealogy" by Val D. Greenwood, that Ann is a nickname for Nancy. I suspect that Richard was possibly married prior to 1785 for the following reasons. (1) Richard at 33 years, a bit old for a first marriage. (2) The oldest that Benjamin (deceased by 1803) could be is 18 years. (3)18 seems too young to have married Zilpha and had 4 children. (4) From census, I believe that Benjamin and Zilpha’s son, Benjamin was born in 1798 and their son, William, was born in 1801. This would mean that Benjamin and Zilpha had to be married by 1798, making Benjamin a very young groom at 13 years of age. ********** Document #1 The following document was found in the North Carolina State Archives in Raleigh, North Carolina.

There upon defendant came into court and agrees judgement be entered up against them for this court in this case. It is thereupon considered by court the plaintiff recovers of the defendent the costs of aforesaid in this behalf expended and thereupon came Elijah S. Harvill and Benjamin Ford and takes upon themselves together with said defendant the payment of costs aforesaid - whereupon it was considered by court that state of Tennessee recover against said Elijah Harvill and Benjamin Ford and costs of this prosecution and for which execution may issue. p. 73 - Thursday, November 24th, 1831 James Sparkman, Juror p. 99 - Monday, 1 May 1832 Ordered that Thomas Ray be appointed overseer of the road in the room of John Sparkman resigned and he have the same bounds for land. ******************* In 1975 David Sparkman of New Castle, Indiana investigated the Grainger County, Tennessee court house records. The names above are slightly different than what William T. Ray gave in a 1999 electronic mail, which suggests that this court case may have been a "fallout" from the other-namely the case in which Betsey Ray and John Sparkman, being sued by the State of Tennessee for murder. The above Peace Warrant is probably about the two women not being able to stand one another and the court ordered them to avoid one another, or possibly, there was a real fight. There is no mention of a fine, prison time, executions, just the court costs. Which tends to suggest that the whole case was a civil complaint.

On February 13, 1815 Jesse Yeates of Bertie County sells to Edward Sparkman of Chowan County, 100 acres in Bertie County on the north side of Bucklesberrys. The witnesses were William J. Newbern, and Starkey Skiles. (REF: Bertie County Deeds, Book W, p. 256) Then three years late on April 21, 1818 Jesse Yates, undoubtedly the same man as in the 1815 deed, sells to Edmond (Edward) Sparkman, 50 acres in Bertie County near Buckles Line. Witnesses Cornelius Williams and Starkey Skiles (REF: Bertie County Deeds Book Z, p. 90) Edward was not listed in the 1784-1787 State Census of North Carolina in his father's household but does appear in the Federal Census for 1790, as a male (son) living with father, Edward. The following is a typewritten copy of Edward's will, exactly as it appears in Bertie County Will Book G., p. 227 Bertie County, Winsor, N. C. Office of the Clerk of Court WILL OF EDWARD SPARKMAN Book G. page 227 In the name of God, Amen, I Edward Sparkman of the country of Bertie and State of North Carolina, being in sound mind and memory, Blessed Be to God, do make this my last will and testament in a manner following. That is to say: First, I give to my beloved wife, Winneyford Sparkman, a negro man named Cone, also one Negro woman named Mornin, one girl named Merier, and one boy named Moses, one by name Cane, also one gray mare and one riding chear, one yoke of steers and cart, four cows and calves also four ewes and lambs two sows and pigs and 15 head of killible hogs and also the kitchen and household furniture and also the plantation whereon I now live. Second, I give to Jessy Glasgow son of Gessy Clascow, if living, aged about 19 years old, I give him one negro boy named Mills, one by the name of Stephen, also one by the name of Charles, also one girl named Jenny also one mule also one gray filly and also 50 akers of land; if not living this property to be equally divided amongst all my brothers and sisters children all the resideue of my property I leave to be sold one negro girl. This property when sold and collected to be equally divided amongst my brothers and sisters. This property to them and their heirs forever. I hereby name and ordane Rueben Lawrence and Thomas Newbern my executors to this my last will and testament whereof I have hereunto fixed my hand and seal this 21rst day of June 1828. Edward Sparkman x (his mark) Witness: Thomas Hardin, James Phelps, and Nathal Cullipher Proved in Bertie County Court, State of N. C. August term 1833 As noticed there are no children listed for Edward and his wife Winneyford in the last will and testament. Did they have any? Or were the children already deceased? To date no children have been found in the census records. So undoubtedly there were no children of this union. There is undoubtedly another Winnefred Sparkman who was married to one of the Sparkman men, as Edward's wife died after 1833 as she is mentioned in his will. The document mentioned below is definitely not Winnifred wife of Edward Sparkman. There is the following on a Winnefred Sparkman: When a Winnefred Sparkman died there was an inventory of her estate which was sold by one Benjamin Sharpe, her administrator on June 15th 1822. Lewis Sparkman was the principal buyer along with Sintha Sparkman buying some of Winnefred's estate.. The account was settled by August court of 1822, and had begun on May 25th, 1822...the monies from the sale of the estate were equally divided among John Johnston for his wife, Elizabeth, William Johnson for his wife, Nancy, Reddick Sparkman; Austen Andleton for his wife Scintha, and Lewis Sparkman. (REF: ESTATE RECORDS OF EDGECOMBE COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA, 1820-1850, Vol. II by Joseph Watson, Rocky Mount, N. C. 1983, pages 199-200). Lewis and Sintha Sparkman were undoubtedly related to Edward, maybe his nephew and niece, although I can not ascertain which one of Edward's brothers they belonged to. The name Lewis is very common in this particular branch of the family and is still carried down today. IF Lewis was a nephew of Edward it would have to be Lewis Sparkman b. about 1785 in Bertie Co., North Carolina who married Anna Ray. As to who Reddick is, there are several mentions of him in the old records but to date I have not been able to attach him to any one Sparkman in particular. It is highly possible that Leiws and Sintha were the children of one Thomas Sparkman who married Margaret Stephen or Sephens. This Thomas died before September 4, 1829 which is the date his will was proven, we think. This will is recorded in Edgecombe County, North Carolina and can be seen in the book EDGECOMBE COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA 1730-1820 by Joseph W. Watson, 1970, p. 248.

Malachi Cummings, Jr., born 1744 in Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland; died 1818 in White County, Tennessee. He was the son of 136. Malachi Cummings and 137. Virginia Elizabeth Furr. He married 69. Verlinder Taylor Abt. 1761 in Virginia. 69. Verlinder Taylor, born Abt. 1744 in Fauquier County, Virginia; died Bef. 02 June 1837 in Patrick County, Virginia, inventory was filed this date.365. She was the daughter of 138. James Taylor and 139. Elinor Smith. Notes for Malachi Cummings, Jr.: Three brothers, Simon, John and Malachi immigrated from Glasgow, Scotland into Faquier County, virginia about 1759. Records on file in that locale establish the brothers as owning adjoining plantations. National Highway 50 now runs through this property. It appears that Simon was the oldest of the three brothers, followed by John and then Malachi. Little is known about Simon and John other than that they both married and had seven children which were given in their wills, and it is believed they were both buried on their farms. Malachi removed to Tennessee in 1816/17. Malachi Cummings married a girl named Verlinda Taylor, Daughter of James Taylor of Patrick Co., Virginia. Originally this county and Henry County were one called "Patrick Henry County". Verlinda's surname has appeared as Burns in some of the early records--maybe she was married first to a Mr. Burns. Malachi removed to Henry Co., prior to 1782, in which year he sold 250 acres in Faquier County being the former property of Thomas Berry. A search for him in Henry County subsequent to 1782 has produced nothing. In Loudon County Deed Book D: 326-7, we find that William Robinson and Elizabeth his wife had sold 223 acres to a man named "Maliky"Cummings in 1764. It is not likely that the elder Malachi was buying land this late in his life. Especially since he had not needed even the acreage that had been bequeathed to him by his father. William Robinson is probably a grandson of Mary (Muttoone) Robinson, and therefore a cousin to this Malachi. It should be made note of, that although this Malachi's son Joseph, was later living in Henry County, in 1813, his Revoulutionary War Service was performed as a member of the Loudon County Militia. The situation generally suggests that Malachi the younger was living in Loudon County at the time of his death in 1786. In reinforcement of this idea, at the time the Loudon County Malachi's estate was probated, the administrators were Judah & Benjamin Cummings. There is a record of a Benjamin Cummings living in Henry county at that particular time. After his fathers death, this Malachi had sold 250 acres which he identified as formerly belonging to Thomas Berry. We know that Thomas Berry had been a neighbor to both the Muttoone & Cummings/Cummins families. For the Muttoone Will had a reference to his boundary. Verlinda joined with her husband in a 1782 conveyance but not in another one dated 1785. So therefore it is safe to assume that she died between 1782 & 1785. Of the two witnesses on the latter deed, Richard Luttrell was a next door neighbor and James Bell a short distance away on Cedar Run adjacent to Thomas Lee. In the Faquier County June Court of 1779 Malachi the younger, brought suit against one Joseph Blackwell (near neighbor to Simon Cummings) & prevailed. The judgement in his favor was one thousand pounds of crop tobacco, the medium of exchange at that time, plus cash extended. Blackwell was Faquier County's First sheriff and owner of a succession of mills (a water mill on Deep Run in 1765; a saw mill on Rocky Run in 1793, and a mill on Carter's Run in 1804.) The original Blackwell grant had been to General John Blackwell. Ref: CUMMINS ANCIENT,CUMMINS NEW by Frances Funk, pp 98-99. REF: FCGS M CUMMINGS by B.

William Hill, Reverend, born Bet. 1730 - 1739 in Caroline Co., Virginia or North Carolina; died 29 September 1792 in Fisher River, Surry Co., North Carolina (possibly in Rockingham Co., N. C.). He was the son of 144. THE HILL FAMILY OF ROCKINGHAM COUNTY, N. C.. He married 73. Hannah Bridges January 1758 in Caroline County, Virginia or in North Carolina. 73. Hannah Bridges, born Bet. 1730 - 1739. She was the daughter of 146. Unknown Bridges. Notes for William Hill, Reverend: Records of the dates of birth of William Hill and Hannah Bridges have not been found to date, however, since their son Thomas was born in 1759, they were likely both born in the 1730's. The family owned 382 acres on Buffalo Island Creek, a tributary of the Dan River, in the northwestern corner of what is now known as Rockingham County, North Carolina, near the state line of Virginia. William and Hannah's property adjoined that of Gustavus Hill on the North and John Hill on the south [1]. Thomas Bridges, a brother of Hannah, owned the land next to John Hill, indicating that all of these people came to the region together. According to Abner Hill, son of Thomas, these Hills' were of Welsh extraction. William and Hannah Hill, Gustavus and Charity Hill, and Margaret Hill who may have been John Hills' wife, were all members of the Matrimony Baptist Church which was located near their land and was still in exsistence in 1996. William and Hannah joined this church on 12 February 1779 [2]. The church was one of many "daughter" churches of the Sandy Creek Baptist Church in Randolph County. The record is confusing with respect as to when the Hills came to Rockingham County. William and Hannah joined the Matrimony Church in 1779 and the deed to their land was issued in 1780. However, another deed issued to one Henry Scales in 1778 refers to John Hill's adjoining property even though this property was not deeded to John until 1783. This indicates that there might have been a considerable amount of time between the actual acquisition of land and the dates that deeds were issued. In fact, according to the Hills they were in Rockingham County as early as 1759 when Thomas, son of William and Hannah was born. There seems to be no public record in exsistence which lists the children of William Hill and Hannah Bridges, however it is documented they they had at least four sons: Thomas [1759-1849], James [1761-1833], John and Jacob. [3] There is also strong evidence that they were the parents of Joab Hill [1775-1841]. [4] Also Abner Hill [1788-aft 1861], a sonj of Thomas Hill and Catherine Shropshire, mentions that he had an Aunt Polly Hill Gibbons, who was his father's younger sister. This indicates that Thomas Hill, son of William and Hannah had other sisters. Another undocumented record seen by many researchers lists William and Elizabeth as two of the children of William and Hannah [Bridges] Hill, although this may not be reliable. The 1790 Surry County, North Carolina Census where the family resided at that time, implies they may have been ten children--six boys and four girls. ========================================================================== ===== [1] N.

Markers Unveiled In accordance with the announcement in last week's issue, the Daughters of the American Revolution unveiled bronze tablets at the graves of two daughters of Revolutionary soldiers. The first service was held at the Benning Cemetery near Athens, Missouri, Sunday afternoon, at the grave of Mrs. Elizabeth Lane Hill and a little later the second service was held at the grave of Mrs. Louisa Ann Wayland Bartlett Biggs, at the Wolf cemetery, St. Francisville, Missouri. Mrs. Mildred Story, Chapter Regent, presiding. At each service Marshall Story acted as bugler. Mrs. Mary E. Thompson acted as chaplain at the Benning service and Mrs. Rose Bostic at the Wolf cemetery. Miss Alberta B. Callison gave a short address at each place. A sketch of Mrs. Elizabeth Lane Hill's life was given by her great granddaughter, Mrs. Grace Duty Clearman, daughter of Rev. George Duty, who also made a few appropriate remarks and dismissed the assembly, among whom were eight descendants of Mrs. Hill, named as follows: Miss Sarah Duty, Mrs. Ollie Knapp, Rev. George Duty, Mrs. Mary Stephen, Mrs. Margaret Sellers and two daughters, Helen and Catherine Louise and Mrs. Clearman. * * * * * * * Following is the life history of Mrs. Elizabeth Lane Hill as read by her great granddaughter, Mrs. Clearman. "Last winter when I was studying the subject of the Scotch-Irish Immigration to America in Colonial Times, much of the history of my family ancestry was unfolded to me before the time of which Grandmother Duty used to tell me. Grandmother was a great story teller and from her the lives of her parents and grandparents have been made interesting and impressed on our minds. Her Revolutionary War ancestor, Isaac Lane, was her own grandfather whom she knew as a young girl and from her we have a personal touch with him. A Scotch Irishman among the earliest settlers in Eastern Tennessee, he began service in the Revolutionary army at the age of sixteen years. He served helping to fight neighboring Tories of which many were lawless men. Also as almost the entire Scotch Irish immigration he was often fighting the Indians and particularly at the Battle of Boyd's Creek which was called one of the hardest fought battles in the border war of Tennessee. And he was also with Col. Sevier in the Battle of King's Mountain which was one of the decisive battles of the Revolution. Isaac Lane married Sarah Russell in May 1782, and one of their children, Elizabeth Lane was born December 24, 1784, in eastern Tennessee. It is at her grave we now stand and we can look back in imagination to her day and try to visualize her life from some of the incidents handed down. One of her earliest stories is that of uncle who went back to the Atlantic Coast and brought home coffee for the first time. Of course he also brought the cups and saucers, and told his wife how to make it. She put just the cups on the table the first time to serve the coffee and he explained that she should put the saucers on also and pour the coffee into them to cool before drinking. Many of us have seen these old time cups and saucers but no one dare follow that custom today. Elizabeth Lane was married to Joab Hill in 1802 and to them were born seven sons and two daughters. The sons were Claiborn, Isaac, Pleasant, William, Russell, George, James, and the daughters, Mary Louisa and Elizabeth. In 1812 when the second war with Great Britain came her husband enlisted and during the war was made a Col. But Elizabeth with several children stayed at home and we can imagine the hardships of life with no mail, no telegraph, no doubt Indian scares and a living to provide for small children. Tennessee was always a slave owning state and the family having need of help had their slaves. Great-grandmother Hill as all women did, had her own weaving, spinning, sewing and knitting. We know that she and her family lived in Athens, Tenn., at one time. Later after the war of 1812 great grandfather Hill moved to McMinn County on a land grant given him by the government for services in the war. With her children, Elizabeth Lane Hill was a very strict mother, her method of a word and a blow, and sometimes the blow first has been told us by those remembering her. My father recalls how efficient she was, when as a very old woman she lived in their home, of finding jobs for him and his brother. In 1839 when Grandmother Duty was fifteen years old the Joab Hill family started West and North, of course looking for more land for their sons. Coming to Ft. Madison that fall they suffered many hardships in an Iowa winter. They found they could not keep their slaves in Iowa so moved to Clark Co., Missouri, in the spring. Their first home was a large log cabin located northwest of Revere about five miles. It was in this home of Joab and Elizabeth Hill the first county court was held in Clark Co. Great-grandfather bought all the land adjoining him on the south, about three thousand acres. In 1842 Elizabeth Hill went back to Tennessee on a visit, taking two children with her, James and Elizabeth. They traveled in what they called a carryall--it was later called a covered spring wagon. In 1847 Joab Hill died and was buried here. Then in 1849 when several of the Hill sons and daughter Lou went to California, Great-grandmother Hill went with them. She was then sixty-five years old and traveled all the way to California by horseback. Three of her sons had gone to Oregon in 1848 and in time she rode her horse all the way to Pilot Rock, Ore. On her trip west with many covered wagons we can imagine from the many covered wagon scenes of the moving pictures something of her life during that trip. At one time they found many yellow currants and wanted fruit so badly but fearing they were poisonous all were afraid to eat them. The many children in the company were especially anxious to eat them. Great-grandmother Hill told the children she would eat some and try them as she was old and it would not make any difference if they did kill her. She did eat some and the children kept coming to her and asking how she felt. After her experience all could eat the fruit and enjoy them. Then in 1860 when Elizabeth Hill was seventy-six years old she returned to Missouri but by water. Leaving California by boat she came around Cape Horn to New York City. She used a train from there to Pittsburgh, and then came on by boat down the Ohio and up the Mississippi to Alexandria, Missouri. From there by stage to the home of her daughter, Grandmother Duty. The stage driver knew Grandmother Duty and said he would ask her if he could stay all night and also an old lady he had with him, but when Grandmother saw them on the little hill south of the house she recognized her mother. She ran out of the front gate calling "Mother, Mother" and the fooling was all off. So the long travels of Elizabeth Lane Hill ended as she lived with Grandmother the rest of her days. She died and was buried on this spot in September 1864, almost eighty years old, and four years after she returned from the West. Her life was a journey with many miles of travel, much labor for love of family and a firm belief in the goodness of God. About 1907 my Grandmother Duty like her mother, Elizabeth Lane Hill, went to California but of course she went by train. How she enjoyed her trip in the Coast States. Grandmother visiting her brother's families found she had met and visited over eighty families all descendants of Elizabeth Lane. A few of us linger in the Middle West and today only eight of us are here to honor our ancestor whose life's history we treasure."

Notes for Thomas Mears: Thomas Mears of Surry County, North Carolina was granted land in the same county about 1757-1760. During the time frame [1745-1757] a William Mears was granted land in Cumberland County, North Carolina, he may possibly have been Thomas's brother. In the 1790 census of Surry County, it shows that he and Aimey Ann have one son still residing at home. Thomas left a will, at his death, in 1800, naming his wife Aimey, sons Moses and John C., and his daughter Mary Patrick.

Thomas removed to Kentucky shortly after the taking of the census and was residing in Green County in 1810. Aimey does not appear in that census enumeration, so she undoubtedly died sometime between 1800 and 1810.

March 1841 in Little Brush Creek, Greene County, Kentucky; married Betsey Forrester Bef. 1778 in Surry County, North Carolina; born Bet. 1739 - 1767. Notes for Moses Mears: Moses was a Revolutionary War Soldier, and according to his pension application which he filed in 1833 for services rendered, he lived in Surry County, North Carolina for about thirty-two years before removing to Greene County, Kentucky. Since he is listed in the 1790 and 1800 census reports for Surry County, and does not appear until 1810 in Greene County, Kentucky, he would probably have been about thirty-eight years of age when he went to Kentucky. In the 1800 census he is shown with two sons between 16 and 26 years of age [James 19 and John 16] and three daughters--two of whom were under 10 years of age and 1 between 10 and 16 years of age. His wife Betsey Forrester and known children were Thomas born 1778, James born 1781, John born 1783, Peggy who married William Dudley, Milly who married Henry Martin and Mary L. who married Alexander Sprowles.

He married 129. Annah Gardner Bef. 1721. 129. Annah Gardner391, born Bet. 1705 - 1710 in Unknown (Guess!, one researcher states ca. 1726, if that is correct then she could not have had Edward in 1721); died Aft. 17 June 1775 in North Carolina, listed as heir of Sister Ann Standly in will. She was the daughter of 258. Martin Gardner III and 259. Annah, Was She a Bryant?. Notes for William Sparkman, Sr., Captain: There was a William Sparkman in Bertie County, North Carolina as early as 1756. In 1757 there were three Sparkman's listed in the records, William, James who was living next door to William Sparkman and William Sparkman and his son Edward. The William with a son Edward must be Capt. William, our ancestor. In the enumeration (tax list) of the household there are also three black persons, Sesor, Beck and Hanna. These five people meant that William paid taxes on five persons, hisself, his son, and 3 slaves. The following year (1758) William is shown on the tax lists of the county with four taxables and there is also a James listed. [Note: According to Amelia Sparkman Castleberry's 1938 book "The Sparkman Family", Captain William was in Bertie County in 1735, and on July 3, 1755 he received "another" grant of 132 acres in Bertie County, on the North Side of Roquist Swamp." Amelia's reference: Land Grant Book 11, p. 40, file 763] In 1759 William Sparkman and Jesse his son, 2 negro men and 2 negro women are shown on the tax list. Edward and James are also listed. Edward paid taxes on one person, undoubtedly hisself, and James is just listed on the Tax list but it does not show that he paid any taxes. The 1760 records were not available or did not show any Sparkman family members. Amelia Sparkman Castleberry, in her 1938 book "The Sparkman Family" states that on February 14th, 1761, William Sparkman received yet another grant of 470 acres in Bertie Countie on "Bagecue Swamp". [Bertie County Land Grant Book 11 p. 41, file 768] From 1761 until 1818 Sparkman male family members show up on the county Tax lists. Among them are Jesse and Edward, sons of Capt. William, their brother James, their widowed sister-in-law, Rebecca who is the widow of Jesse, Winniford, Mary Sparkman the widow of Capt. William who was his second wife, Thomas Sparkman beleived to be the son of Edward, George Sparkman who was also a son of Edward and the ancestor of the Tennessee branch of the tree, William Reed/Red William, William R who are all the same man,[ or at least it is beleived that they were the same man] and Sparkman Stone who was a son of Rachel Sparkman and Benjamin Stone. The Sparkman Family Tree, Special Edition, 1 January 1976 states that there are four William Sparkmans in Bertie who lived before 1800. 1. "Captain William Sparkman first bought land in 1735 in Bertie County, died early in 1785. He seems to have remarried later in life as his widow remarried David Garrett in the same year of his death, and his last son, also a William, is called Orphan and doesn't reach voting age until 1804.. That would mean that William Jr. was born two years before his father's death, who was about 70 years of age when he died. William's other children include Edward born abt 1738, Jesse born 1740, and died before 1784, Racheal who married a Stone, and Elizabeth who married a Hyman." 2. Captain William Sparkman, Jr., also orphan William, the orphan son of Capt. William. Became the richest Sparkman in Bertie County inspite of a raw deal from Mary Sparkman, who was probably his step-mother. He was raised by William Leary and his family. William eventually held more than 3500 acres of land, was a member of the State House of Commons in 1814 and a member of the State Senate in 1815 and 1817. He was still living in Bertie in the 1840 census. He seems to have married Sarah Brownrigg of Chowan County on 3 January of 1820." 3. "Red William, R. William, William R, William Reid Sparkman are all the same person, William Reid, the son of Jesse Sparkman. His wife is named Pharaby on two deeds. He owned considerable land, but less than his rich but younger Uncle William." 4. "William Sparkman Poor William was the smallest land owner among the Williams. He is the son of Edward Sparkman, and the one who appears in Grainger County, Tennessee in 1818. He married Elizabeth Hudson on 11 March 1795." The will of William Sparkman (#1 of the four Williams listed above) was written in October 1782 and proven in May Court of 1785. The will was probated with the following heirs: Wife, Mary, youngest son William, eldest son Edward, grandson Thomas Sparkman, eldest daughter Rachel Stone, daughter Elizabeth Hyman, daughter-in-law Rebecca Sparkman wife of son Jesse Sparkman, grandson William Sparkman son of Jesse, granddaughters Winnefred and Elizabeth Sparkman daughters of Jesse, grandson William Hyman, granddaughters Sarah and Elizabeth Hyman, grandson Hugh Hyman, grandson Thomas Sparkman. Thomas Ward, Hugh Hyman ( Sr.,) and James Wilson were executors of his estate. Upon the final probation of the will of William the executors had leave to sell perishable part of the estate of Captain William Sparkman. An additional inventory of William Sparkman's estate was returned in 1786. The year before or maybe a few months before the additional inventory was returned, Mary, widow of William petitioned the court that her dower be laid agreeable to law. Mary was evidentally quite a bit younger than William as she lived for several years more and even remarried a David Garrett. On September 30th, 1785 the heirs of William Sparkman received a land warrant for six hundred and forty acres in settlement of the seven years of service by William in the Continental line during the American Revolution (Warrant #2880). The warrant was surveyed on Sulphur Fork of the Red River northwest of the present town of Nashville, Tennessee, but was endorsed by William's oldest son, Edward Sparkman for value received, to James Gloster Brehan, and was never occupied by the Sparkman heirs. The 1790 Federal Census shows the following Sparkmans in North Carolina. The first number is the number of white males over 16 years of age, the second number is the number of white males under 16 years of age, the third number is the number of free white females including heads of household, the fourth number is all other free persons, and the fifth number is the number of slaves in the household. All the following were in Bertie Co., North Carolina. SPARKMAN, WILLIAM 1 1 3 __ ___ [who is this, cannot be Wm. Jr.] SPARKMAN, RED WM. 1 1 2 __ 2 ( William Reed, son of Jesse) SPARKMAN, JAMES 1 __ __ __ __ (Not sure but this could be James who married Frances Hughes) SPARKMAN, EDWARD 1 3 3 __ __ (Ancestor of the Tennessee Branch) SPARKMAN, GEORGE 1 1 2 __ 1 (This is probably George Thomas Sparkman born 1764 d. 1816 and his first wife and family and was probably taken just before her passing.) There is some controversy on the two wives of William. Was Anna the mother of all of his children or just the first six, namely, Edward, Elizabeth, George, Solomon, John and Rachel. With the other three children being the children of William and his second wife Mary Ward? Because of the difference in the birthdates of the first six children and those of the youngest three, this writer beleives that Anna was the mother of Edward, Elizabeth, George, Solomon, John and Rachel, and Mary Ward was the mother of Jesse, William and Levi. ( Documents found would tend to show that Jesse was a son of Anna Gardner! Therefore he is placed in the lineage as a child of William and his first wife Anna Gardner) North Carolina Land Grant Book #11, page 40, file #763 shows that on July 3, 1755 one William Sparkman received a grant of 132 acres of land in Bertie Co., North Carolina "on the North side of Roquist Swamp." In ibid, page 41, file #768 on February 14th, 1761 this same William Sparkman received another grant of 470 acres on Barbecus Swamp in the aforesaid county of Bertie. Bertie County records of court transactions, during the colonial and revolutionary periods, involving Sparkman family members are numerous from February 13, 1738 through October 9, 1785. The records involving William are as follows: Case #230-118, dated February 13, 1738 Allexr. Vollantine appointed Constable in room of M. ? Sparkman. (As to whether this is William, we cannot be sure as the document is old and the handwriting was deplorable). #332 dated August 11, 1741 Deed from William Sparkman to John Parviss proved in court.

(The Sparkmans, Freemans and Fleetwoods would all intermarry down through the generations). 674: 1764 Edward Sparkman (son of Captain William Sparkman) was picked to serve as a grand juror, also William Sparkman was on the same juror panel. 1765: Bertie County Deed Book 659 James Purvis of Bertie County to Chas King 1/3 part of land which MARTIN GARDNER gave to his 3 daughters, on NS of Rocquis Swp adj WM.

[REF: Roster of North Carolina Soldiers in American Revolutionary War, p. 291, warrant #2880] From the above records we can see that William Sparkman was a very well respected man and was of honest and forthright character. This is evident in the fact that he was chosen for jury duty quite frequently. One might also suggest/beleive that he was not a poor man. *** Bertie County, North Carolina *** The following is a quote from THE NORTH CAROLINIAN, Wm. Perry Johnson 956 regarding marriage liscenses in Bertie County. "Bertie County [formed 1722] - the mg bonds 1741-1761 are missing. there are 136 for the 1762-1778 period. About 1500 of the original marriage bonds, 1762-1868, are in the Archives in Raleigh. The Marraige Register in the courthouse begins about 1850. Also in the courthouse is one volume of marraige bond abstracts, 1755-1830, indexed. Hathaway in the NC Historical & Genealogical Register, Vol. 2, #2 [April 1901] pages 314-320, published an abstract of Bertie County Marriage bonds 1755-1787. He listed just one bond prior to 1762: 1755-Charles Moore & Sarah Hunter. This 1755 bond, however, was issued by Chowan County instead of Bertie County. Also listed in Hathaway were 8 marriage bonds are are not on record in the Archives in Raleigh: 1764-John Allen & __________; 1768 William Gainer & __________________; 1768 William House & _______________; 1769 Joseph Holland & _______________; 1770 Thomas Bond &______________; 1770 Thomas Bond & ______________; 1770 William Fry & ________________; 1770 William West & ______________." "Less than 2500 marriage bonds have been preserved for the entire state of NC for the 1741-1778 period. Approximately 7500 marriage bonds [75% of all issued 1741-1778] have been lost or destroyed or are missing. Since only 1/3 of the marriages performed in NC 1741-1778 were by liscense and bond [the other 2/3's were by banns], and since three-fourths of the marriage bonds are lost, this total of 2500 marriage bonds that have been preserved represents less than ten percent of all marriages performed between 1741 and 1778." ***************************** 1782 Bertie County, North Carolina Tax List #62 William Sparkman 2620 Acres of Land 524 Pounds 9 Negros between the ages of 7 & 16 40 or 50 pounds 8 Negros between 16 &___, 40 pounds 6 Horses, Mares, Colts, 100 Cattle He paid a total of 1712 pounds ******************************* A petition against King George III was written in 1777 as follows: " I will have faithfull and true alegiants to the State of North Carolina and will do the utmost of my power support maintaine and defend the Independent Government thereof against George the III King of Great Britain and his successers and the attempts of any other prince power State or potentate who by secret arts treason conspiraces or by open force shall attempt to subvert the same and will in every respect conduct myself as a peaceable orderly subject and will diclose and make known to the govener or some member of the Council of State or some Justice of the Oeace all treasons conspirances and attempts committed or intended to be committed against the State which shall come to my knowledge so help me God" Among the names who signed this document are "William X Sparkman", "Jesse Sparkman". The "X" in William's name indicates that he could not write, but apparently Jesse could.

April 1789 in Bertie County, North Carolina398,399. Notes for Jesse Sparkman, Sr.: William? Jesse (known as Jesse) Sparkman was quite prominent in early Bertie County History. He served on many jurys' along with his brother Edward and his father, Captain William. He also must have been rather wealthy as he owned quite a bit of land within the boundaries of the county of Bertie. In 1774 he was ordered to have a licenses for one of his "negro boys" named Andrew to carry a gun and hunt upon his land on his giving security to the court according to the law. Jesse disappears from the records of the county about 1774, about six years before his death. The Revolutionary War was in full swing during this time, and Jesses' absence from his usual court house activities probably indicates that he was away from his home/county. War records for this time are missing on several thousands of military personel because of the burning by the British when they took Washington during the war of 1812. Writing materials were scarce and the men were really to busy fighting for the cause to take time to record events of a specific soldiers accomplishments. Written records of Garrison units are more readily available then other military records of any kind, during this time period. Some information on specific Revolutionary War soldiers begin to appear when the Revolutionary War pensions began in 1818. If a man was fortunate to survive until 1818, and had served during the Revolution, he was entitled to a pension from the U. S. Government. Of course the individual had to prove that he had served, by actual witnesses that knew him or other such evidence. Some researchers give his name as William Jesse Reed. There was a Jessee Sparkman given in the 1775 Tyrell County, North Carolina Tax Lists. He is listed by himself "Sparkman, Jesse 1 white". The following is from ABSTRACTS OF LAND ENTRIES: BERTIE CO.

Comment #2: Name may have been William Jesse! Tax List: 1761, Bertie County, North Carolina 1 taxable400 Notes for Rebeckah Reed: In 1781 it was ordered that Rebecca Sparkman have administration of the estate of Jesse Sparkman, her deceased spouse. She would recieve this administration upon producing/giving bond in the sum of five hundred thousand pounds current money by Thomas Ward and Nathaniel Holley. Both Thomas Ward and Nathaniel Holley would marry into the Sparkman family. Thomas's son married Sarah Sparkman and their daughter Pharaby married a Sparkman. Nathaniel Holley was the father of Ruth Holley who married George T. Sparkman (1764-1816), as his first wife. Pharaby/Feribee Sparkman married into the family of Sparkman's who went to Florida and were early pioneers of that state. In 1781 Rebecca was also appointed guardian to Elizabeth Sparkman, on bond and security of two hundred pounds. And at the same approximate time Thomas Ward was appointed guardian of William Sparkman, son of Jesse and Rebecca. By the above records of guardianship it proves that Rebecca, husband of Jesse was a widow in 1781. The will of her father-in-law written in October 1782 proves that she was still living at that time, and Jesse is not listed as an heir of William, so therefore she was a widow.

Notes for Elizabeth Sparkman: Elizabeth Sparkman, daughter of William contracted for marriage in Bertie County with Hugh Hyman on February 19, 1767. Like today it was not inexpensive to get married. A bond was required in 1767, and it was usually put up by a relative, namely the father or a brother in most cases, at a cost of about five hundred pounds. John Reed was the bondsman for Elizabeth and Hugh. Relationship of John Reed to the happy couple is not known. Fourteen years after their marraige Hugh Hyman was appointed on a jury to try a matter of dispute between the Indians and the whites. Verdict was for the Indians and the Court so found. This was on February 24th, 1781 in the Court of the Indian Commission. The following is from RECORDS OF ESTATES BERTIE COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA 1788-1800, VOL III LOOSE ESTATES PAPERS by David B.

Notes for Thomas Pittman III: After the death of Thomas PITMAN, Jr., Robert Lancaster , Jr., Elizabeth Lancaster PITTMAN's brother, made the following deposition in Isle of Wight County, VA: These are to inform the Worp. Court that I the Subscriber heard the Thomas PITMAN say seven Months after his Sickness that he made his Will and told me that he had given to his Son Thomas PITMAN his Entery of Land lying up the Creek, To his Son Samuel PITMAN the Plantation whereon his brother lived, To his Son Robert PITMAN a parcel of Land lying over the ------ Branch, To his Son Ambrose PITMAN a parcel lying between his Son Thomas and his Son Samuel, To his Son John and his Son Arthur a piece lying up the Meadow Branch to be divided between them and to his two youngest Sons Sampson and Joseph he had given a Plantation whereon he lived to be divided between them when they come of Age, and to his six Daughters he had given Five Pounds a piece; and that he did believe he should not alter what he had done. (Sd.) Robt. Lancaster At a Court held for the Isle of Wight County the 28 day of September 1730 The above deposition was presented and being duly proved in Court was Admitted to record. Test. James INGLES, Clk. Court So, Thomas PITMAN Jr.'s "two youngest sons" were Sampson and Joseph, according to Robert Lancaster , Jr. Therefore, they were sons of Elizabeth Lancaster PITMAN, and they were born after 1720 but before 1728. From this document it would also appear that Thomas PITMAN Jr.'s brother (the elusive William PITMAN) had lived on a piece of property owned by Thomas PITMAN Jr., which Thomas gave by his will to his son Samuel. But the language of Robert Lancaster 's deposition is not clear enough about the identity of this brother: whose brother was it -- Thomas's brother, or Samuel's brother? The wording is very ambiguous. It is possible that several more of Thomas PITMAN Jr.'s children were born after Robert Lancaster 's will was written. In the years between 1720 and 1728 more than two children might have been born, so some of the others could belong to Elizabeth. Since none of the daughters were married when Thomas's will was written in 1728, it is logical to conclude that they may have been very young ... therefore may have been daughters of his last wife. More About Thomas Pittman III: Occupation: Farmer and Carpenter Notes for Mary Chambers: Mary CHAMBERS HOLLIMAN ( b ca 1675 d ca (1710 ) was the only daughter of William CHAMBERS (d ca 1679 Surry County, VA) whose wife, Margery (maiden name unknown). JARRETT CHAMBERS, was still alive when he wrote his will. Mary had a brother named William CHAMBERS, and half-siblings named Charles JARRETT and Elizabeth JARRETT. Her mother's first husband had been Richard JARRETT who died in 1672 in Surry County, Virginia. Mary CHAMBERS was married to William HALLIMAN while she was still under the guardianship of her brother William, so she was very young at the time of her first marriage. In 1704, William HALLIMAN's estate was settled in Surry County. Mary (Marie) was called "widow of William HALLIMAN" in court on 2 Jan 1704 Surry County, Virginia She had at least one son, William HOLLYMAN. Thomas PITTMAN Jr. had intermarried with Mary widow of William HOLLEMAN by 1706. She was aged 35-43 at that time -- clearly, she was not the mother of Thomas Jr.'s many children. But she might have had one or two of them... Which ones? In Surry County Court, Nov 1706, Mary is described as "the relict and Adtrix. of William HALLIMAN who married Thomas PITTMAN Jr." It cannot be determined from presently available records whether or not Mary was the mother of any of Thomas PITTMAN Jr.'s children, though it appears they were probably married for about five years. In his book The Hollyman Family,A Genealogical and Historical Record of the Descendants of Christopher Hollyman of Isle of Wight County, Virginia, 1691, and Related Families, Holleman, Holloman, Holliman, Holoman, Hollomon (written about 1952), Mr. George A. Holleman attempts to identify the husband of Mary CHAMBERS. He says that she was married to William HOLLYMAN (1661-1704), son of Christopher d 1691, and that Mary was the mother of five children. He gives her a son named Thomas T. HOLLYMAN born about 1675, died about 1761, and says that Thomas was William's second son -- making William 14 years old when his second child was born. Careful analysis of the dates will reveal that Mr. Holleman has chosen the wrong William HOLLYMAN as the husband of Mary CHAMBERS. Going back to the evidence about the family of Mary CHAMBERS HOLLEMAN PITTMAN we find that: Richard JARRETT, Margery's first husband, was still alive in 1671.(Margery's maiden name is so far unknown to us.) In 1672, Margery has already remarried, and is executing her dec'd first husband's estate as Margery CHAMBERS.

SCMAR, Vol. III, Summer 1975, No. 3, p.174 The heirs of William Henry, Junr, can be learned from two deeds by which his Crowder's Creek land was sold. On 16 Aug. 1810 Rosanna Henry, William Henry, Alexander Henry, James Henry, Malcolm Henry, Joseph Carroll, Isabella Carroll, Thomas C. Henry, Jane Henry, and Josiah Henry, all of Lincoln County, N.C., sold for $100 to John Henry of York District, S.C., a tract on Crowder's Creek (no acreage stated).[74] On 7 Nov. 1815 (after the death of Rosannah Henry) the same group of hairs, styled legatees of the estate of William Henry, dec'd, sold to Robert Adams of York District for $563.75, the Crowder's Creek property, described as containing 451 acres on both sides of the State line, bounded by William Crawford, James Montgomery, Robert Barber, Reverend Jas. S. Adams, John Henry, William J. Wilson, and lands unknown.[75] The latter deed reflects two changes, besides Rosannah's death, in the family between 1810 and 1815: Edward Byers had become a legatee by marrying Jean Henry, and Alexander Henry had removed from the ares. His new residence is not indicated, but his brother William aigned for him as “attorney in fact.” More About Joseph Carroll and Mary Henry: Marriage: 15 February 1810, York County, South Carolina vi.

Notes for Unknown Mallory: The Mallory Name "There are several different theories about the origin of the family name. There are many variations on the spelling of the name--including Malory, Mallorie, Malore, Malri and Maleure--but however spelt , are connected t the same roots. The spelling varied with the practice of each scriber and the fashion of the day so that in modern times kinship is often obscured. In this book and in the pedigrees the modern convention of writing the name "Mallory" is observed unless a specific point is being made. The name seems to appear suddenly in the records during the reign of King Stephen. Some speculation says that they Mallorys came first from Fulcher de Malsour from Brittany. This is doubtful as he is first identified from "The Battle Abbey Roll" written by the Duchess of Cleveland in 1889....There is no original "Battle Abbey roll:; of the three purported copies of it Holinshed's in 1577 and the Duchene's later copy, contained the mane Mallory (Malory). there are no fewer than 29 names in the Duchess's Index that begin with the prefix 'Mal'. The earliest (Dorset) name of Maloret does not appear. If 'Mallory' were copied from the original roll, here would have been no need to derive it from 'Malsoures 'not in the Roll. Reany derives Mallory from the old French 'Maloret', and says it means Maleure...unfortunate, accable de maux; The closest translation is weighed with misfortunes;, possible some exceptional physical drawback--nobly borne? However, G. F. Garbutt suggests a connection with the word 'maillerie'--a breaking mill for hemp used in the textile trade. There are several towns so named in France, notably La Mailleraye sur Seine. Holinshed says that in 'the Roll of Battel Abbeie, the names are not surnames but the names of the places where they were landholders'. Professor John Rhys in Everyman's Morte d'Arthur, quoted Dr. Somer, who states that 'Malory connects itself with derived Latin, Mailorius'; but Latin gives us infelix' for 'unlucky'.... Lewis C. Lloyd in 'Origins of some Anglo-Norman Families (1951)gives: 'Malory. Tessancourt. Seirn-et-Oise, arr. Versailles. Cant. Meulan. Feodary of Philip Augustus 1204-1208: Reodum Anguetini Malore de Tessancourt'. The arms of Melleret, Auvergne" 'D'Or au leon de Gules' may also be noted. These two instances are rather later than the early Mallorys in Britain. Tessancourt is the next parish to Meulan, the Caput' of Robert, Comte de Meulan, the first earl of Leicester..... The first record of them using the name Mallory, in in Leicestershire before 1174. The coat of arms of this family was a gold shield charged with a red rampant fork-tailed lion.... " Several other options are given in the Book. ("A HISTORY OF THE MALLORY FAMILY" by S.V. Mallory Smith, published by PHILLIMORE CO LTD, Shopwyke Hall Chichester, Sussex, 1985) Manors and Lands "After the time of King Stephen, the Mallory family is recorded as holding manors and lands in many counties, including Leicesershire, Lincolnshire, Warwickshire, Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire, Rutland, Camridgeshire, Yorkshire and Cheshire. Of the considerable properties they once owned, the last to be sold by a member of the family was Shelton in 1714. Some of their manor houses still exist, as do several of their memorials, but it is believed that only two houses retain Mallory artifacts and only the triple portrait at Studley Royal, and one other portrait, are known to be extant." ("A HISTORY OF THE MALLORY FAMILY" by S.V. Mallory Smith, published by PHILLIMORE CO LTD, Shopwyke Hall Chichester, Sussex, 1985) Children of Unknown Mallory are: 126 i. Reuben Mallory, born Bet. 1750 - 1773; married Dorothy Carter 09 June 1789 in Orange County, Virginia, surety Uriel Mallory. ii. Uriel Mallory, born Bet. 1750 - 1773. Notes for Uriel Mallory: Uriel Mallory was the surety for the marriage bond of Reuben Mallory and Dorothy Carter on June 9th, 1789 in Orange County, Virgina. Was he Reuben's brother or father? 254. William Carter?, died in Orange County, Virginia. Child of William Carter? is: 127 i. Dorothy Carter, born Bet. 1750 - 1773; married Reuben Mallory 09 June 1789 in Orange County, Virginia, surety Uriel Mallory. Generation No. 9 256. John Sparkman, Sr., born Abt. 1670 in Ireland/Wales/England; died Aft. 19 April 1728 in Chowan Co., [now Gates, near present day Eure] North Carolina, will probated October 1728.. He was the son of 512. Richard Sparkman and 513. . He married 257. Bet. 1684 - 1810. 257. , born Bef. 1685; died Bef. 1728. Notes for John Sparkman, Sr.: The records of the United States do not show any Sparkman men much before those that we are concerned with in the following pages, however on July 30, 1618 at St. Saviors Southawk, London, England one Margaret Sparkman married a Mr. Mark Harrison. (REF: Tennessee Cousins by Worth S. Ray). Mr. Worth in his writings states that this Sparkman family and the Harrison families were neighbours of the Burton family of London, England. Mr. Ray makes the following statement "My theory is that the Harrisons of "Skimino" came from London where they were neighbours of the Burtons, and they all tagged along together to Virginia." There were three Sparkman men who are documented as coming to the United States, and coming into Virginia about 1635-1637. There was a John Spackman/Sparkman in 1635 who in 1640 was Sheriff; Nathaniel in 1637 transported by Captain Thomas Osborne of Henrico County, Virginia; and two Richards in 1635 and 1637, both whose transportation was paid for by Lt. John Upton of Warrasquinoake Co., Virginia (in 1637 Upton was residing in Isle of Wight County, Virginia which is the same as Warrasquinoake as it became Isle of Wight in 1637). Then in 1650 a Captain Moore of Fauntleroy Co., Virginia paid for the transportation to Virginia of one Nicholas Sparkman and in 1653 a gentleman by the name of John Ware of Virginia paid for the transportation to Virginia of one Thomas Sparkman. Since these Sparkman gentlmen had to have "sponsors" to obtain passage to the United States, once here they were obligated to the men who paid their passage, and had to work that passage cost off. More than likely they were "apprenticed or bound" to the men who sponsored them. Shortly after the Sparkman men arrived in the United States they seem to vanish from the records. So any data found on these men would be totally new information not found before. The John we are concerned with was already present in Virginia in 1635 as he was granted 300 acres of land July 13, 1635 in Warrasquinoake County, located two miles up on the west side of Pagan Point Creek. One hundred acres were for the advantage of hisself and Dorothy Spackman his wife, and two hundred acres for the transportation of his children Joyce and Rosemon, and two servants, John Evans and John Wilson. Land grant to John Moone, Gentleman, near land of John Spackman and Captain John Upton dated November 20, 1642. (Note: Old records often misspelled the surname of Sparkman and it appeared as Spackman, among others). (REF: "Early Immigrants" by Greer 1623-1666, North Carolina Library, Raleigh, N. C. p. 228) John Sparkman of early Chowan Co., North Carolina would have to have been at least one hundred years old when he died to have been the same as the John Sparkman of Virginia. This seems a little unlikely as the ravages of malaria raged throughout this region. Swamps were prevalent in the region and malaria carrying mosquitos survived in these swamps. Normal life expectancy during the colonial time was not much more than 40-45 years old. Even if John from Virginia lived to be 50 or 60 years of age that would make him "old" by those standards. This John appears in Acts of the Virginia Assembly in 1639 and was appointed among others "Men of Experience and in dignity for the Careful Viewing of each Man's crop of Tobacco" "From the Alps, to Basses Choice and the Indian Field" in Isle of Wight Co., Virginia. Isle of Wight county is near North Carolina's Chowan, Gates, Hertford, Bertie Counties, and most of the Chowan county area was originally claimed as part of Virginia. The only reference to Sparkmans in Isle of Wight county other than those stated was in Wills and Administrations, Isle of Wight County 1647-1800 Book II where it states that one Elizabeth Sparkman was a witness to the will of one Thomas Fiveash on January 4, 1725/26. The next record of Sparkman's to be found is in Chowan Precinct, North Carolina in 1725 when we find the will of John Sparkman, Sr. and this document was probated at Edenton in the October 1729 court. The will is as follows: (with uncorrected spelling) In the name of God Amen the 19th day of April in the year of our Lord 1728. John Sparkman Senior of Chowan Precinct. Being sick and week in body but of sound and perfect memory, praise be to God for the same, and knowing the uncertainty of this life on earth and being desirous to settle things in oprder, do make this my last will and testament in manner and form following, that is tto say first and principaly I comend my Soul to Allmighty God, beleiving that I shall receive pardon for all my sins and be saved through the precious death of my blessed Savior, Christ Jesus and my body to the earth from which it was taken and as touching such worldly estate as the Lord in his mercy hath lent me, my will and meaning in the same shall be employed and bestowed as near after as this my will is expressed, and first I don revoke, renounce, frustrate and make voide all wills by me formerly and declare and apoint this my last will and testament. Item, I give and bequeath to my Sun JOHN SPARKMAN- Sun John the one half of a certain piece opf land lying and being upon the likin Root branch, purchased of Henry Hakley being fifty acors be the same more or less. Item, I will to give and bequeath unto my grandson STEPHEN SPARKMAN the sun of THOMAS SPARKMAN the other half of said pasell of land aforementioned being fifty acors of the same more or less as the line all redy marked between them to them and their heirs lawfully begoten of their bodies forever. I also give to my Sun JAMES, Sun JAMES SPARKMAN all the cattle and hogs of the mark that I gave to my Sun James Sparkman and their increase. I also give to my Sun JOHN SPARKMAN one cow and calf. I also leave to my Sun RICHARD SPARKMAN two cows and calves and all the hogs that was comonly cald his and I also give to my Sun WILLIAM and my daughter SARAH and my daughter MARY, two cows and calves apiece and that my sun WILLIAM shall have all the hogs that was cald his. I do apoint and ordain my Sun JOHN SPARKMAN and John Green as Executors and after all debts being paid, I give unto my Suns and daughters RICHARD and WILLIAM and SARAH and MARY SPARKMAN all my moveable estate, to be equally devided amonst them, all as witness my hand ye day above. JOHN SPARKMAN Chowan Precinct October Court, 1728 Testators JOHN WIGGINS JOHN THORNE JOHN GREEN (REF: North Carolina Wills 1663-1789 Volume XXIX, page 67 Archives and History, State Capitol, Raleigh, North Carolina) The John who appears as having died in Chowan Co., North Carolina in 1728 left a rather large family with a great deal of property, and most of his children were adults at this time. In his will he lists his sons John Sparkman, Richard Sparkman, Thomas Sparkman and William Sparkman; daughters Sarah & Mary Sparkman; and grandsons John Sparkman, and Stephen Sparkman who is to receive land on the Liking Root Branch. Stephen Sparkman is most likely the same Stephen who was a son of Richard Sparkman, however, Thomas son of John Sr., apparently had a son Stephen as well as is seen by John Sr., in his will. William is Captain William. Both of whose descendants appear in this genealogy. Stephen, the grandson of the above John Sparkman (will of 1728) appears in a document dated August 4, 1729 whereby he receives a conveyance from his mother, MARGARET SPARKMAN, for certain lot of livestock to be given him when he reaches nineteen years of age. Witnesses of this document are John Green, Henry Baker and his uncle, John Sparkman. (REF: Records of Edenton North Carolina Courthouse). In 1734 there is an entry in the Chowan Precinct Court entitled "Mary Sparkmen orphan of John Sparkmen." This is probably the appointment of a guradian or tutor or liberation of the same. The final will of JOHN SPARKMAN, JR., who is also mentioned in the will of John Sparkman dated April 1rst, 1738, was probated July 14th, 1739, in Bertie Co., North Carolina. He had seven children, but the names of only two were mentioned. This will appears in the following pages. The following is an interpretation by David A. Sparkman 1999 1. No wife living at time of will 19 April 1728 2. Older gentleman, and an educated man 3. Grandson Stephen, son of the deceased son Jesse Sparkman and Margaret 4.

John Sparkman d. 1728. Speculating only from the rarity of the surname at the time, could his wife be Elizabeth? Isle of Wight Co. Will Bk. II, pg 194 Fiveash, Thomas of the Upper Parish.

Brother Peter Fiveash, Executor. Jan. 4, 1725/26. Witnesses: James Pyland, Elizabeth Sparkman. The 1635 estimated birthdate for John appears to be a remnant of the attempt to tie him to the John Sparkman who immigrated to present day Isle of Wight Co., VA, in 1634. Judging from the fact that only two of John's sons, Thomas and John, had families, and the bulk of the others appear to have been minors, John d. 1728 is probably a much younger man born in the 1670's or so. An examination of deed records based on the clues left in his will of 1728 indicate that the plantation with which John Sparkman died seized was located on the Licking Branch just east of present day Eure, Gates Co., NC, in which community the Sparkman surname continued over 150 years subsequent to John's death, part of an original land patent to Henry Hackley granted, and acquired by John subsequent to, June 22, 1722, as land in the Upper Parish of Nansemond Co., VA. There is only one deed reflected for Henry Hackley in abstracted Chowan County (the parent of Gates) land records prior to 1729, recorded in Nansemond Co., VA, and later re-recorded in Chowan County: #1647 Deed Book B1: Henry Hackley of the Upper Parish of Nansemond Co Va to William Waters (residence not given) Carpenter. 6 Feb 1715 for love, good will and friendly respect- the sd Henry being of Sound Mind and Disposing Memory. 100 acres more or less in the upper parish and Co. afrsd, joining John Hislip, Thomas D-------, William Horn and a small White Marsh as by Patent.

Let it be registered E. Moseley, Ch. Just. (Note that John Horne was a witness to the will of John Sparkman.) Later Gates Co. deeds reflect that Henry Hackley was granted land patents in the present day County on April 14, 1702, and June 22, 1722, but that the Sparkmans and their neighbors and associated families were living on carveouts of such latter grant.

Sarah Sparkman, born 1685 in North Carolina466; died Bef. 1734. Notes for Sarah Sparkman: What happened to Sarah? Her sister Mary is living with Mary Lawley, relict of David Lawley in October of 1734, which indicates she was a minor. Now, Sarah is probably a minor at the time of her fathers' death [1728] as well, so why is she not living with the Lawler family as well? Chances are she died between 1728 and October 1734. ii. Richard Sparkman467, born Bet. 1690 - 1725 in Chowan County, North Carolina, probably; died Bet. 1790 - 1792 in Brunswick County, North Carolina468; married (1) Elizabeth; born Bet. 1690 - 1725; died Aft. July 1792; married (2) Sarah, Mrs. Peter Stancil Abt. 1739 in North Carolina; born Unknown. Notes for Richard Sparkman: From Kendall Sparkman: The records of Tyrrell may demonstrate that ambitions of early Sparkmans were not immune from the economic hardships that often plagued colonial North Carolina. The story of this Sparkman community established near Robersonville in present day Martin County begins ca. 1740 with Richard Sparkman, who chronologically appears to be the son of John d. 1728. Nonetheless, it is troublesome that abstracted records reflect a Richard signing his name as a witness or jurat in Bertie County in 1734 (see Bertie Deed Book D, Pages 70, 76 and 92), while Richard of Tyrrell is (mostly?) signing with his mark. The similarities between Jesse Sparkman and William Sparkman of Bertie in paying for surveying and registration fees to amass sizeable land patents (see also Pitt County) can easily lead the Sparkman researcher to conclude that Jesse's story is one of the misadvantures of William's son, but see also Martin County for a continuation of this Jesse's tale. When taken in context with the records of Richard, this Jesse appears to be a son of Richard, and that Richard's second son may have been named William.

Cains, Clerk TYRELL COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA DEEDS OF JESSE SPARKMAN The following two deeds are the last two deeds that June and I found on our trip. These were both extremely poor copies, especially the first one, and if anyone has access to the microfiche that they are on we would be thrilled for your input regarding what is stated regarding Richard and Jesse Sparkman. Both of these documents have to do with Jesse Sparkman loosing his 640 acre tract of land in Tyrrell County in a Public Sale. By what is said in the first document "RICHARD SPARKMAN heir to JESSE SPARKMAN", one would interpret this to mean that Jesse was Richard's father, not Richard was Jesse's father, or at least that is the way I interpret it! All other records that June and I found on our trip indicate that Richard was the father of Jesse. [continued under Sarah] More About Richard Sparkman: Juryman: 25 February 1738/39, Tyrell County, North Carolina469 Relocated: Abt. 1768, To Bladen [Robeson] County, North Carolina Notes for Elizabeth: The following e-mail from Kendall Sparkman has turned up some new information regarding Richard Sparkman. We knew that before his arrival in Brunswick County, North Carolina that he was in Tyrell County [now Martin], however there was a rather large gap in years between documents pertaining to him in these two counties. Kendall decided to check the family of Sarah Chancey [Chauncey] who was the second wife of William Sparkman [born 1768] of Alachua County, Florida, and found that Richard was in Bladen County, North Carolina for at least two years. Below is Kendall's e-mail describing his "finds" in his local library: Subj: Richard Sparkman and family Date: 6/16/01 5:28:59 PM Central Daylight Time From: ksparkman@bilzin.com (Kendall Sparkman) To: gresham5@airmail.net, SUESGENES@aol.com CC: lavhamm@bellsouth.net, tbsparkman@digitalexp.com Ladies, I have been looking at your notes from Brunswick over and over, and have still been reaching the same conclusion - this has to be a family moving into Brunswick Co. in the late 1780's, and there is a "gap" between their departure from Tyrrell (Martin) Co. Today as I was walking out the door of our local library, I wondered if the family of William Sparkman of Alachua Co.'s second wife, Sarah Chancy, could shed any light on this. I went back in, checked the 1790 census and found one Keziah "Chanchey" in nearby Bladen County, and, lo and behold, when Richard and family left Martin, they relocated first to Bladen Co. for at least two years!

Hopefully, somebody's local library will have more Bladen records and, since there still may be a "gap", records of New Hanover Co. iii. Thomas Sparkman, born Bet. 1690 - 1725; died Bef. April 1728; married Margaret Bef. 1728; born Unknown in Bertie Co., North Carolina; died Aft. 04 August 1729 in North Carolina. Notes for Thomas Sparkman: Genealogical Records: Early North Carolina Settlers, 1700-1900's Historical and Genealogical Register, Vol. II, p. 451 [available at GenealogyLibrary.Com] the abstract of the document reads as follows: "Margaret Sparkman (widow) to her son Stephen Sparkman, a certain lot of stock to be given him when 19 years old, Augt. 4, 1729. Test, John Green, John Sparkman, Henry Baker." Now!!!! This is apparently not MARGARET STEPHENS, but another Margaret who was married to a SPARKMAN who died before August of 1729. Now in his 1728 Will John Sparkman, Sr. states " "My grandson Stephen Sparkman, the son of Thomas Sparkman.", which means that this Stephen Sparkman was born before April of 1728 and his mother was Margaret__________, so from this we can assume that Thomas Sparkman, son of John Sparkman [d. 1728] married Margaret, and she was a widow by August of 1729, with at least one child, Stephen Sparkman! Notes for Margaret: Genealogical Records: Early North Carolina Settlers, 1700-1900's Historical and Genealogical Register, Vol. II, p. 451 [available at GenealogyLibrary.Com] the abstract of the document reads as follows: "Margaret Sparkman (widow) to her son Stephen Sparkman, a certain lot of stock to be given him when 19 years old, Augt. 4, 1729. Test, John Green, John Sparkman, Henry Baker." The probably reason for Margaret giving this property to her son, was more than likely as she was preparing to remarry and in order to protect her under age son, she deeds to her son Stephen some of her property so that her future husband could not "acquire" it. Single women in those days had property rights, which married women did not. More About Thomas Sparkman and Margaret: Marriage: Bef. 1728 iv.

Notes for Bartholomew Mears: In 1662 patent jointly to William Taylor and Bartholomew Mears for five hundred acres which was bounded on the Northeast by the Beaver Dam Branch of Sachipongo Creek. In 1668 they divided this tract as follows: Taylor and his wife Elizabeth gave a deed to Mears for the two hundred acres at the east end and Mears and his wife Mary deeded thye three hundred acre balance to Taylor. In 1670 thye Taylor's sold their three hundred acres to Edward Hitchens. The several pages of the land transactions that follow, traced the various parcels of land mentioned in the transactions in 1789 to Robert Taylor, in 1736 to John Taylor and his son John, in 1792 to Savage Taylor [a Francis Savage being mentioned in 1798] and Margaret Taylor, the wife of Thomas Mears. In 1792 Savage Taylor was mentionhed with his wife Peggy A. Mears parcel was sold to Charles W. Taylor in 1841. While no relationship to any of the listed Taylors is evident, family lore and the appearance of marriages between the Taylors and the Mears in this instance, and the later in the direct Taylor line, has linked this William Taylor to Henry Taylor I, and his descendants, as well as to Bartholomew Mears as will be seen in the succeeding pages.

Notes for Elias Fort: America's First Families Ancestor Roll Of Honor ELIAS FORT ISLE OF WIGHT, VIRGINIA (abt.1630-abt.1677) The first date recorded on Elias FORT is dated Oct.9, 1667, when he scrawled his mark on the findings of a coroner's jury investigating the death of William PERSONS in Isle of Wight Co., VA. There is another record of jury service later that year when he and other men looked into the death of Edward BURGESS. In the years 1669, 1670 and 1677, respectively, he was called on to administer the estates of Joseph POOLE, Thomas DIXON, Robert ROE and William GROVES. A court record in Isle of Wight County for September 7, 1675, shows him in debt and overdue in his payments to Tom DENSON. Elias died in late 1677 or early 1678, probably the latter, leaving his widow and "orphans". No one knows where his bones rest in old Isle of Wight. There is fairly good evidence that Elias was born before 1646 and probably after 1630. His service on juries required him to be at least 21 years old. While the estate administration papers filed after his death tell little about his family, they describe the children as being "orphans" and hence under legal age. Elias and John FORT show up on the "tithable" list for Surry County June 10, 1694. George appears in listings for Surry Co. in Southwark and Lawnes Creek parishes in 1698. These lists of tithables cover white males 16 years and older with independent livings. All indications prove he left comparatively young children and died perhaps in his 40's. The administration papers on Elias' estate show his wife's name was Phillis; the will of Joseph POOLE, made Jan 8, 1668, in Isle of Wight County, indicates rather strongly that she was Phillis CHAMPION, and that her widowed mother had married Joseph POOLE after bearing a son Edward CHAMPION. There is also evidence that in 1686 Phillis CHAMPION once married to John DUCIE, moved her son's with her to Surry County, VA. On 28 April 1694, sold 200 acres of land in Surry County to Lawrence FLEMING. Elias shows up on no surviving land records in Virginia. But is seems highly unlikely for a man who administered four estates and who owned 18 pigs and 10 horses at the time of his death to have no land of his own. The records seem to have been destroyed by fire. Speculation has it that Elias might have been an indentured servant earlier or even at the time of his death. But Elias' service as an executer of estates argues against his having that status in later years of life. The small appointments of colonial living are shown in Elias' inventory, filed by his widow. They include a dozen "spoones", a long table, "three old pots", two flock beds and one featherbed, and "very old" furniture. Kate Hayne's Fort's Memoirs of the Fort-Fannin Family -one of the few published works on the family-recounts a tradition that three brothers named Moses, Arthur and Elias FORT came to America with a British expedition sent to quell the Bacon Rebellion in Virginia. One was a wagon master. An elaboration of this tradition says they arrived under the command of a Colonel MORRISON and Colonel Hubert JEFFRIES, the three brothers decided to stay after Nathaniel Bacon's uprising aborted. Kate FORT'S story came from her mother who was trying to recall something Kate's grandfather had said years earlier. Facts are that Bacon's Rebellion did not take place until 1676, nine years after Elias first appears on the VA jury list. Furthermore, the brothers Moses and Arthur, along with a brother Drury FORT do appear together in a migration to South Carolina-though some 75 years after Elias died. Another source states that two brothers did come to America together and they landed somewhere in the North, and one brother came South to Virginia. A "Jennet FORTH" arrived in James City County, VA in 1651 and was indentured to Edward GREENWOOD; Surry County was originally part of James City. Some of Elias' descendants evidently pronounced and even wrote the name "FOORT" until about the end of the 18th century. Another tradition states Elias FORT and his wife Phillis came to Virginia on the ship GEORGE in 1630. But this date seems to early for Elias. A membership application from Ms. Mattie HIGGS sent to the Washington D.C. chapter of the Huguenot Society of America states "Elias FORT born 1631, married to Phillis in England in 1660". Submitted by Delores Ellen Mann Franks of Hawaiian Gardens, California. The Children of Elias FORT and Phillis CHAMPION were. 1. Elias, b. 1663-1665, d. 1739, m. Sarah HOLLIDAY or BATTLE 1685-1690 2. John, b. 1663-1665 in Isle of Wight, Va. d. 1725 in Surry Co. VA. m. Elizabeth JORDAN, b. abt. 1663, m.1685-1690 in Surry Co., VA. d. abt 1743 in Surry Co. Virtually all of John's children migrated to NC, settling in what is now called the Johnson, Wilson, Lenoir Counties and Halifax.

Elizabeth Matthews. Notes for Richard Jordan: Richard Jordan was born between 1610 and 1625, probably in England but conceivably in Virginia. He was certainly in Virginia by 1655 for there he married Elizabeth Reynolds and from that union descends the thousands of Jordan's who are the subjects of this page. Like many other men and women who came to the New World to build a new life, Richard Jordan, I endured the hardships and deprivations of the early English settlers in Virginia. Life was hard and very often quite short, danger was a constant companion, and education and health care were unknown. Despite the hardships and trying times, he and Elizabeth survived to produce at least two children whose descendants moved often in search of new land and a better life. Jordans first migrated to the Carolinas, then Georgia and Alabama and further across the South. The westward expansion beckoned and the availability of new land was a powerful attraction. Surely there must also have been a sense of adventure and excitement that played a role in their willingness to strike out for unknown places with little expectation of returning. They and many others followed migration patterns that pushed the frontier ever westward. Now, there are Jordan "cousins" in every State of the United States. Four generations of Jordans would have lived in the New World before those in the fifth generation decided that independence from the British was not only necessary and essential to their survival and they proved their mettle by fighting to achieve it.. William Jordan, the fifth generation from Richard, I and by then living in North Carolina, was a soldier in the American Revolution and like thousands of others, he fought for independence from the British while trying to keep his family alive. He served for a few months in each of his several "hitches" but, like his compatriots, he did served well and ,together, they won a stunning victory that launched the noble experiment that he and his descendants called, self government.. Lottle died he know or appreciate that within the lifetime of his children, the fledgling new Nation would be drowning in a fierce Civil War. His sons and grandsons fought for the cause of Southern Independence under the colors of Hillard's Legion, and the 37th and 59th Alabama Infantry. The effect of that great struggle on the lives of the Jordans who participated and the women and children who manned the farms and cared for the necessities of life cannot be calculated. But it was enormous! Following the Civil War, the Jordan passion for moving westward was rekindled and more intensified. Soon there were Jordans in Mississippi, Arkansas, Texas, and far beyond. Today, the descendants of Richard Jordan and Elizabeth Reynolds stretch from coast to coast and around the globe. Surely, they would be pleased!

Notes for Roger 'King' Moore: Roger Moore, was the second son of James Moore, and he was born 24 August 1694 in South Carolina according to a D. A. R. Application which states that the record of his birth and death came from an ancient family Bible which was recopied into a newer Bible. The same source states that Rebecca Moore, Roger's sister, was his twin. "King" Moore was a planter and councilman of South Carolina. He moved to North Carolina after turning his political beliefs to pro-proprietary rule and the government losing to Colonial rule. Roger Moore was part of the original settlement/colony of the Cape Fear River area of North Carolina, led by his brother Maurice, and arrived there circa 1723. He was later known as the 'Chief Gentleman in all Cape Fear', and settled on the lower Cape Fear in what later became Brunswick County. His home 'Orton' was considered to be the most magnificent plantation. Roger owned large amounts of land and was a man of great wealth and influence in the Cape Fear region. Roger was very involved in public life, starting while he was still residing in South Carolina, where he was a member of the House of Commons in 1717, and later, in 1740 he was a member of North Carolina's Council, a position he held for a number of years, along with other members of the Moore 'Faction'. Roger Moore was called "King Roger" most likely because he owned a large number of slaves. It is said that Roger and his brothers Maurice and Nathaniel brought over twelve hundred slaves to this area. In about 1725 Roger built a plantation home which he named "Orton", and this plantation still stands today. It is one of the largest and most beautiful estates on the Cape Fear River. The principal crop of the plantation is Rice. Roger married three times, [1] first to Mary Raynor/Rainer, who was the mother of one child, George Moore born in 1715. George was the father of twenty-eight children by two wives! After Mary Raynor/Rainer's death, Roger married Katherine Rhett who was born 4 December 1705 to Colonel William Rhett and Sarah Amy Cooke, on 10 October 1721 they were married. He was 27 and Katherine was just 15. Katherine and Roger had one son and four daughters, before her death on 11 June 1745 at the age of thirty-nine. Roger then married Mary Vail Wilson and there were no children of this marriage. Roger "King" Moore died 20 October 1752, at the age of 58 at his home "Orton". "Orton" plantation as stated previously remained in the Moore family for three generations and was then purchased by a wealthy merchant, Richard Quince, whose family retained ownership for thirty years at which time General [later Governor] Benjamin Smith purchased the estate. "Orton" was the southernmost rice plantation on the Cape Fear River and in 1998 was open to the public. He was granted 8000 acres by the Lords Proprietors in 1720. He built the older part of the O rton Mansion in 1725. Brunswick co., NC. In 1747, Roger gave Orton Plantation on the Cape Fear River to Thomas Smith the younger of Ch arleston.

Francis Le Jau. ~~~ ORTON PLANTATION ~~~ Orton Plantation was founded in 1725 by "King" Roger Moore, who had come to the Cape Fear Region with a large and influential group of settlers led by his famous brother, Colonel Maurice Moore. During the past many many years, Orton Plantation became one of the most famous of rice plantations on the lower Cape Fear. The history of this area is rich in stirring events, many of them occurring within present day boundaries of Orton, or just a few miles away. Roger "King" Moore "wipe-out" a band of Indians who burned his first home, the town of Brunswick was captured by Spainish privateers in 1747, Lord Cornwallis' troops raided Orton in 1776, and Fort Anderson was bombarded and captured by the Federal Forces in 1865, after the fall at Fort Fisher, which was located just across the river. Since that time James and Luola Sprunt and their son James Laurence Sprunt, along with his wife Annie Gray Sprunt have developed and enlarged gardens on the property, which one can visit by driving from Wilmington, North Carolina or taking the ferry across from Fort Fisher and the North Carolina Aquarium. ========================================================================== ====== [1] According to the McCall-Tidwell Genealogy Roger Moore was also married to Elizabeth Trott.

She signed a deed of sale on a grinder mill on the James River in 1666 with her husband, but she died and he married the widow, Mary Gwaultney, a year or so later. She must have died for he married a widow, Judkins, in 1672. Thomas Sr. and the two Judkins stepsons were involved in Bacon's Rebellion against Berkley, the British governor in 1675-6. All 3 were pardoned by the king a few months later, but Pittman was placed under a peace bond. As far as I can tell, Thomas Sr. must have died about 1688 for he does not appear on the tax rolls after that.

Thomas PITMAN Sr. | Birth Date: 1614 Birth Place: England Death Date: Circa 1688 Death Place: Surry County , Va Burial Place: Surry County , Va Occupation: Carpenter, Farmer, Capt. In Virginia Militia, Grinder mill owner Notes: The Account of Bacon's rebellion This is an account of a rebellion in Virginia over 100 years before the Revolutionary War, started by the people against unjust rulers from England, who were 'Taxing without representation'. The problem arose primarily because of the unequal taxation of many of the common farmers of the counties around the James River during that time. The first echo of trouble was when charges were brought against 14 men for having an unlawful meeting at the Parish Church at Lawnes Creek. At that time in our history, it was unlawful for people to meet without notifying the lawful authorities, and these 14 men met secretly for the purpose of seeking to lower their taxes. Sir William Berkeley, the British governor, had refused to allow the settlers to elect any new assemblymen since 1662. He had simply dismissed the assembly before new elections could be authorized each year. The assembly was composed of mostly royalists. The sheriff and the justices of the counties were appointed by the governor. The vestrymen were virtually self-perpetuating. These two bodies accessed taxes without a voice by the people. The assembly of 1670 then substituted property ownership qualifications for voters, and excessive taxes and fees were demanded by the tax accessors and the sheriffs with little recourse by the common people. Earlier in 1651 and 1660 the English Navigation Act restricted colonial shipping to English Vessels. The monopolies reduced the price of tobacco and other goods, and the excessive shipping fees and increased taxes reduced profits to the point that farmers often were tempted to quit farming. With these things in mind, it is not difficult to see why the Lawnes Creek settlers had the unlawful meeting. A second secret meeting was held in "Old Devil's Field". When these meetings were reported, arrests were made of all, and fines were accessed. Matthew Swan was apparently the ringleader, and his sentence was far heavier than the others. Some think that these things broke the back of the rebellion in Lawnes Creek Parish because when the rebellion really broke two years later, most of the followers of Bacon were from Southwark Parish of Surry County. With the passage of time, increasing Indian raids on the settlers in Henrico and Charles City and Stafford brought increasing demands for the Governor to give protection. Berkeley had established a profitable trade in fur with the Indians, and he did little to satisfy the settlers. By March 1675, it was said that 300 settlers had been killed in Indian raids. When the assembly met that month, they voted to call 500 men from the counties for military service and build 9 forts. Most of these forts seem to have been located in areas where there was little danger from Indians. A two million pound tobacco tax was levied on the settlers to build these forts. It was apparent that contractors were Berkeley's friends because most of the forts were never started, or at the most, finished. The fort for Surry County was in Southwark Parish, and the Indians in the southern part had never made trouble for the settlers. Henerico and Charles City Counties had problems with Indian raids and when 300 men gathered in Charles City County they resolved to go after the Indians without Berkeley's consent. Nathaniel Bacon, a young squire of Henrico County, had been educated in England, but he was in sympathy with the movement. He and others from Henrico Country rowed across the river the night of the meeting, and after a vote, Bacon was elected leader. Late in April 1675, he and the band went after the Indians and Berkeley, having gotten word of the uprising, began organizing a group to stop the young rebels. He was too late and on May 10, he declared Bacon a rebel and a traitor. By that time, there were signs of rebellion throughout the region, and Berkeley reluctantly ordered elections for a new House of Burgesses, the first in 14 years. Later in the month, Bacon and his group returned with word of victory over the Indians. Bacon was elected to the new Assembly, and Berkeley had to call a truce in arresting Bacon. The assembly of June and July enacted many new laws such as raising army from each county, allowing the men to elect their own officers. There was to be no trade with the Indians, all freemen were to be voters, legal fees were set, no sheriff could hold office more than one year in succession, no one could hold two county offices at once, and officials were taxed at the same rate as others. Just at the end of the assembly, word was recieved that a massacre by the Indians had occurred 40 miles away, and Bacon and his men left almost immediately, apparently with the blessings of Berkeley. Berkeley repented of that act and issued an order for the arrest of Bacon shortly thereafter. But the second successful venture against raiding Indians brought Bacon home a hero. During this second encounter against the Indians, Captain Thomas Pitman, a former leader in the Virginia militia, and others from Surry County joined Bacon. When Bacon's group returned, Berkeley and other leaders fled Jamestown. Bacon and his men realized the inportance of Jamestown and decided to cross the James river and take the unprotected royal capitol. Bacon decided to burn the town in order to prevent Berkeley from using it as headquarters in the future. Jamestown, with most of the records before 1676, were destroyed by fire on Sept 19, 1676. It was said that many of the records were hidden before the burning, but they were never recovered. Bacon and his men set up headquarters across the river near Surry in the brick home and estate of Arthur Allen, who had fled with the governor. The house still stands and is known as 'Bacon's Castle'. With the return of Bacon and the absence of Berkeley and other local leaders, Bacon and the remaining leaders began reforms in that area during September and early October in 1676. But the reforms were short-lived for Bacon took sick with diarrhea and died 26 October l676. There were no other serious leaders to step into his shoes, and the rebellion ended. Thomas Pitman, Sr. was noted in Surry County records of 1651, to be a Captain in the Virginia Militia. He was noted to have been with Bacon's group at Bacon's Castle, and was asked to secure dogs to round up the cattle so that they could kill one for food. Thomas, along with his 2 stepsons, Robert and Samuel Judkins, were pardoned by the king in early 1677 for their part in the rebellion. On March 26, 1677 Thomas Pitman and 7 others were placed under a peace bond, especially 'toward ye Rt Honoble Sir Wm Berkeley knt Governor and Capt Genll of Virginia'. Governor Berkeley had the new assembly meet Feb 20, 1677, and all of the previous reforms were resended, but some relief was given the settlers. The representatives of the King had brought orders that people of the various counties were to have the right to freely express their grievances and make formal petitions to the Assembly. Thus ended the rebellion of 1676 against unjust taxes without representation in the government. Little did the settlers know that about 100 years in the future, the Revolutionary War would be fought over the same problems. Research: Surry County Records, Virginia, 1651 to 1684. I have seen the original records and have copies of pages 8, 9, 12, 179, and vol 2 page 166. This volume was written by Eliza Timberlake Davis and published in 1980. It is an abbreviated edition because the writing is very difficult to read, but it apprears to be accurate. These pages establish the facts that Thomas Pitman was a carpenter (sued for not finishing a house on time), a farmer (tobacco was grown by most of the settlers), a grinder mill operator which he and Francis Pitman sold their half in 1661 and Thomas Pitman agreed to do the repairs in the future. Early in his career in Virginia he was listed as a Captain in the Virginia Militia. This occurred as early as 1651, and one has to anticipate from this that he had been a Cavallier under King Charles, probably an officer, and had fled to save his head. He lists Joseph Wall as a son-in-law, and William Pitman as a grandson. We think that William Pitman must have died before he married and had children. He as listed once on the tax roll and no more. Thomas Sr. must have been an honorable man, called as witness and to represent friends in court on several occasions. He married Mary Gwaltney, a widow, in 1666, and another widow, Lidia Judkins in 1672. He was involved in Bacon's rebellion with his two Judkins stepsons, was pardoned by the king in 1677, and was placed under peace bond by Gov. Berkeley about a month later. He gave a lengthly deposition in 1677, stating that he was 63 years old, and born in England. He is listed a total of 36 times in these two books of county records. There is no record of him after 1687 and he must have died shortly thereafter at age 74. There Must Be A Record Here Regarding The Warren House, Built By Thomas Warren About 1652. This House Is Known Now As The Smith Fort Plantation. The Land Was Given To John Rolfe By Powhatan, The Indian Chief In About 1635. This Apparently Was A Gift Or Dowry Since He Married The Daughter, Pokihuntas. In 1652, His Son, Thomas Rolfe, Sold The Plantation To Thomas Warring (Warren), Who Then Proceeded To Build A Brick House On It. That House Is Still Standing And Is Known Today As Smith Fort Plantation House. I Had The Pleasure Of Touring Through The House Several Years Ago, And It Is Now A Landmark In Surry County, Virginia Thomas Pitman, Sr. , Gave A Court Deposition In Surry County March 5, 1677. In That Deposition He Declared That He Was 63 Years Old, And Was Present As A Witness When Rolfe Took The Money From Warren And Was Told That It Was Enough For The Land. Mr. Warren Was Said To Have Lived There 28 Years And Had Begun To Build A Brick House There 25 Years Before The Deposition. Mr. Rolfe Had Visited There Many Times And Lived Nearby During The 25 Years, And Thomas Pitman Had Never Heard Him Dispute The Ownership Of The Land To The Time Of The Deposition. A Copy Of The Original Deposition Is In My Records. Gene Pitman. 7/14/97 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> This is from Volume IV, page 535 of "Genealogies of Virginia Families': His widow, Lydia Judkins, married in the fall of 1672 Thomas Pittman, Sr., Gent., called variously Lieutenant and Capt. Thomas Pittman (marriage contract dated Sept. 10, 1672, D. & W. 1672-84,p. 20), and was dead prior to Mar.4, 1678/9, when Lieut. Pittman 'at the request of his deceased wife' transferred property to Charles Judkins, orphan (id., p. 201). This Thomas Pittman was born about 1614, as he gave his age as 'about 70' in a deposition Nov. 4, 1684. He had at least two sons, Thomas and William, born of previous marriages. His first wife was named Frances (cf. D. & W. 1645-71, p. 180); his second, whom he married prior to Oct. 4, 1666, was Mrs. Martha Gwaltney, widow of Thomas Gwaltney, whose first husband was Thomas Atkinson, and who had a son James Atkinson by her first marriage, and at least one son William Gwaltney by the second (cf. D. & W. 1645-71, pp. 281,299)." Info from Gene Pitman, 1100 Western Ridge Dr., Waco, Texas 76712 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 1. I do not have any record of Thomas Pittman, Sr. and his first marriage. The only reference is Francis Pittman co-signed a deed with him when he sold a grinder mill on Jan 2, 1661. This is in book one, Page 179 of the Surry County court records. It states that Thomas Pittman sells to Maj. Wm. Marriott all his rights in a water mill, jointly belonging to said Pittman and John Rawlings, and Pittman sells his half of said mill. It is signed by Thomas and Francis Pittman. Francis was not a witness, but a signer. I can find no other answer than she was the wife of Thomas Pittman, Sr. In this same record, page 273, Mayre Gualtney, aged 48 is mentioned. On page 281, on 4 Oct. 1666, it is stated in the record that Thomas Pitman and Mary Gualtney recorded an agreement before marriage, and settled distribution of her posessions and care of her children, especially Wm. Gaultney, the youngest son. On Nov. 7, 1667, it is noted that Mary has been previously married to Thos. Atkinson and Thos Gualtney, both deceased. Mary apparently died within 5-6 years for Thomas Pittman married Lydia Judkins, another widow, in 1672. Thomas Pittman and the Judkin brothers, were pardoned by the King of England in 1777 for their part in Bacon's Rebellion. Whether there was an additional Thomas Jr before the one in Isle of Wight who died in 1730, I don't know, but I am very doubtful. Generally families had their children about 2 years apart, and I count 14 (not counting William) children. The deposition of Robert Lancaster in the Isle of Wight Co. On 28 Sept. 1730 states that the will was correct and mentions that sons Sampson and Joseph were to have the Plantation divided between them when they came of age. To have 12 children by 1712 would take 24 years by that guess, and that would mean that his Thomas Jr. Began to have his children by 1688 or if William was an early child who died, then about 1686. He would have married about 1684-5, which would place his birthdate of 1659-60 not very far wrong. There really would not be a time span long enough to include a second Thomas Jr., as some think there was. The will of Robert Lancaster in 1720 in the Isle of Wight County , VA, established that his daughter, Elizabeth, married Thomas Pittman Jr. Prior to the time of the will and he mentioned Samuel, Lettis, and Ann as his grandchildren. Elizabeth is thought to have been born about 1680, and perhaps married Thomas Jr. Just prior to 1700 and that would certainly make some of the children of Thomas Jr. mentioned in his will the children of another mother rather than Elizabeth. In the list of tithables in 1702, Thomas was listed on the plantation of Richard Hollyman and perhaps that is the relationship to "Mary Holloman" you mentioned. I would like to know where you got the information about her, for I think it possible that she could be the mother of our Ambrose. I think that the confusion recorded in Americans of Gentle Birth and Their Ancestors by Pittman was the result of confusion between the Northern Neck Pittmans in Northumberland and Lancaster Counties and the Southern Pittmans in Surry and Isle of Wight Counties. 1. Our Thomas Pittman was in Surry County by at least 1650. 2. There was a Thomas Pittman Sr. In the northern area whose will was probated in 1743, and he had sons Thomas, John, George, Elizamond, Benjamin, and Isaac. It appears that this Thomas Jr. was the one who married Hannah Fielding, and they had sons Ambrose and Richard (page 56). These two were said to have married sisters named Warren and moved in 1790 to KY. Their descendents can be traced to some rather famous Pittmans in that area. You can see that they were of a different line and time frame from our Ambrose, their move being after the death of our Ambrose. I do not say that the two lines were not related, but I do say that our line came from the Surry County Pittmans. We have so much more information available than they had at the time that book was written. I must say that the William and Mary quarterlies have to be examined very closely for some of their information is questionable. Keep digging, Craig. Every bit of information we get needs to be placed along side that which we know for certain and see if it fits. Its a big crossword puzzle and we want to fill in all the blanks. If something doesn't fit, set it aside until we can find its place. I am convinced that the internet is the way we can best communicate the information. I may be wrong in my rationalization of the history, but I want someone to be able to prove it to me if I am. Gene Pittman Elisha Pittman & Elizabeth COFIELD 1. Elisha PITMAN 2. Ambrose PITMAN 3. Harrison PITMAN & LYncH 1. Harrod PITMAN 2. Henry PITMAN 3. Emily PITMAN 4. Penelope PITMAN The above is my record on Elizabeth Cofield. I have no record that she married Elisha Pittman. I do have the will of Elisha Pittman with a list of his children, I would like to know where the information came from that Elizabeth Cofield was the wife of Elisha. The only information I have seen indicates that she was married to his brother, Elijah (I have a hunch Elisha and Elijah were twins--no proof) I am interested in any and all information about the Pitmans-Pittmans so keep sending. --Gene Pitman--8/5/97 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> This family is mentioned in an article about the JUDKINS family in Genealogies of Virginia Families, From the Virginia Magazine of History and Biography. The author writes: "The progenitor of the family was Samuel JUDKINS, who first appears in the records of Surry County on Mar. 7, 1667/8, when Thomas BARLOWE assigned him a patent of land (D. & W. 1645-72, p. 304). His wife was named Lydia _____, and he had three sons: (1) Samuel JUDKINS, b. 1657-8 (first appears as a tithable in 1674); (2) Robert JUDKINS, b. 1660-61 (tithable first in 1677); and Charles JUDKINS b. 1670-71 (tithable first in 1687). Samuel Sr. died in 1672. His will, dated 1671 and probated May 7, 1672 in Surry, leaves property to his eldest son Samuel, sons Robert and Charles, and wife Lydia. His widow, Lydia JUDKINS, married in the fall of 1672 Thomas PITTMAN, Sr., Gent., called variously Lieutenant and Capt. Thomas PITTMAN (marriage contract dated Sept. 10, 1672, D. & W. 1672-84, p. 20), and was dead prior to Mar. 4, 1678/9, when Lieut. PITTMAN "at the request of his deceased wife" transferred property to Charles JUDKINS, orphan (id., p. 201). This Thomas PITTMAN was born about 1614, as he gave his age as "about 70" in a deposition of Nov. 4, 1684. He had at least two sons, Thomas and William, by previous marriages. His first wife was named Frances (cf. D. & W. 1645-71, p. 180); his second, whom he married prior to Oct. 4, 1666, was Mrs. Martha GWALTNEY, widow of Thomas GWALTNEY, whose first husband was Thomas ATKINSON, and who had a son James ATKINSON by her first marriage, and at least one son William GWALTNEY by the second (cf. D. & W. 1645-71, pp. 281, 299)." A reference in Seventeenth Century Colonial Ancestors of Members of the National Society of Colonial Dames reports: Thomas PITMAN (1615-1684) Va; m. Frances ---. Landowner; Miller. Capt. Thomas PITMAN apparently had a daughter who married Joseph WALL. Her name appears to have been Susan or Susannah. In 1666 Roger POTTER of Surry sold “to Thomas PITMAN for the use of Joseph WALL, his son in law, 1 black heifer.” In 1671 Joseph and Susan WALL of Surry sold some land to Richard JORDAN Jun?r. The witnesses to the sale were Christopher HOLLEMAN and Thomas PITTMAN Jun?r. There are many references to Capt. Thomas PITTMAN, Thomas PITTMAN Sr., Thomas PITTMAN, Thomas PITTMAN Jr., etc., in the records. With careful study of the dates, many of the entries will be identifiable, but sorting out the men named Thomas PITTMAN has so far proven very difficult. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> This family is mentioned in an article about the JUDKINS family in Genealogies of Virginia Families, From the Virginia Magazine of History and Biography.

The witnesses to the sale were Christopher HOLLEMAN and Thomas PITTMAN Jun?r. A new theory about the Joseph WALL family was suggested 1997 by Forrest King of Vienna, Virginia Surry County, Virginia, Deed Book 1 p.53, contains this record of a land sale: “Joseph WALL with wife Susannah to Roger WILLIAMS, 70 acres on the south side of Cypress Swamp (land part of a patent for 1850 acres granted to Capt. William CORKER, decd., on 6 Aug 1671 which was sold to James KILPATRICK on 5 July 1690 and descended to his only daughter Sarah KILPATRICK who died in her minority and the land descended to her aunt, Susannah WALL, the wife of Joseph WALL) dated 2 Nov 1697; wit Dionisius (signed) WRIGHT, Joseph (signed) COREN, and William (signed) FOREMAN; sig Joseph (IW) WALL and Susannah (x) WALL.“ This document would seem to show that Joseph WALL was not “son-in-law” to Capt. Thomas PITMAN in the modern sense of the word, but may have been a step-son instead. That theory got this response from a descendant of Joseph WALL of Surry “Concerning the use of ?son-in-law? for Joseph Wall in the deed from Roger Potter to Thos. Pittman, I really think that Joseph Wall was indeed Pittman?s son-in-law. Let me explain why. John Wall, Joseph?s father, had died the preceding year in Charles City County, and John?s son (Joseph) and John?s widow (Elizabeth) are mentioned in the estate papers. Joseph?s mother remarried within that year to John Tate, making Joseph the stepson of John Tate. He couldn?t have been the stepson of Thos. Pittman, because his mother Elizabeth never married Thos. Pittman. That?s how I see it, anyway. Or am I overlooking something?

John was a member of the House of Burgesses in 1666, Justice of the County Court in about 1675. He married Alice Bennett, daughter of Thomas Bennett and Alice Sneale, who had previously been married to a Mister Johnson. "He was born in England 1637, Will probated June 9, 1677-Isle of Wight Co., Va., Records of Wills, Deeds, Etc., Vol. 2, p.146. He was a prominent, influential citizen and churchman, a member of the House of Burgesses in 1668 and a Justice of the County Court about 1673. He married Alice BENNETT, the Widow Johnson, daughter of Thomas BENNETT and Alice, Widow Pierce, daughter of Henry and Elizabeth SNAYLE. (see below) As recorded in Adventurers of Purse and Person, p. 269; Thomas BENNETT, and his wife Alice (Widow Pierce) were living near Lawne's Creek in Isle of Wight Co., Virginia in 1624, for on October 10, of that year she testified before the General Court in a trial of John Proctor, her neighbor charged with cruelty to his servants. At the same trial her second husband is identified as Thomas BENNETT, etc. Thomas BENNETT was born in Wivelscombe, Co. Somerset, England, having come on the Neptune in 1618, a member of the House of Burgesses from Mulberry Island in 1632.

On October 24th, 1624, Alice Bennett was a witness before the General Court at the trial of one John Proctor for cruelty to his servants. She was sworn and examined as to the beating of Elizabeth Abbot, a serving maid of Mr. Proctors', and stated that she "found her by the waterside by Mr. Burrow's plantation lying behind a boat wrapped in a rug whereupon this examinant, with her husband and Richard Richards carryed her and delivered her to her master". [Virginia Magazine Vol. 19, p. 389] Richard Grove, servant of Mr. Proctor sayeth that "the said wench often times ran away and that she was corrected for it, but when they two and the wife of Mr. Thomas Bennett brought her home last she received correction from William Moyle servant of Mr. Proctor's". The above statement of Richard Grove tends to prove that Thomas Bennett, father of Alice Bennet Johnson Hardy was indeed married to Alice Snayle Bennett.

Notes for Hodges Council: Hodges Council was born in England about 1647 to John Council and his wife Elizabeth Drake. Hodges came to the United States and married Lucy Hardy, his cousin. Hodges died in Isle of Wight, Virginia in 1699. His will is dated 1699 in Isle of Wight. His father, John Council was married secondly to a Mrs. Jeffries, the relict [widow] of Richard Jeffries, in 1666. Hardy Council, one of Hodge's sons, made his will in 1749 in which he stated that he was near the age of seventy-one years, which would make his date of birth sometime in 1678. In his will Hodges mentiones his daughter Christian wife of Edward Bryan. There was an Edward Bryan, who made his will in Newbern, Craven County, North Carolina in 1746, and was the progenitor of a distinguished North Carolina branch of the Bryan family, and was evidently a son of Edward Bryan and Chrsitian Council.

Notes for James Moore, Governor: GOVERNOR JAMES MOORE OF SOUTH CAROLINA JAMES MOORE, Colonial Governor of South Carolina 1700-1702, was born 1640, supposed to have been the son of Sir Francis Moore, of England, and grandson of Sir John Moore, whom King Charles knighted in 1627. JAMES MOORE came to the Carolinas via the Barbados in the "Loyal Jamaica" with Sir John Yeamans' party, 1665. He settled in Charlestown and in 1665 married Margaret Berringer (Yeamans) (daughter of Lieutenant-Colonel Benjamin Berringer of the Barbados and the "adopted" [she was his step-daughter] daughter of Sir John Yeamans.) She was born in 1645, died June 9, 1720. James Moore managed William Walley's plantationj at Goose Creek for the first few years that he was in the colony. William Walley was his mother-in-law's third husband. Possessed of an energetic and ambitious spirit, James Moore soon became an influential and political leader. He identified himself with the discontented faction of the Colonists as early as 1684, and although a Member of the Council as Deputy to Sir John Colleton, was one of those most active in the overthrowal of that Governor in 1690, thereby incurring the displeasure of the Lord Proprietors, who even excluded him from the general pardon granted during Governor Ludwell's administration. Nevertheless in 1693 he headed the movement of the Colonists, who refused to pay quit-rent. He served as Member of the Council and Assembly; upon the death of Governor Blake in 1700 was chosen Governor of South Carolina. Although Governor Moore's appointment was not confirmed by the Proprietors and another Governor was commissioned by them on June 18, 1702, he remained until the latter's arrival in 1703, when he was made Attorney General of their Colony. In 1702 he undertook an expedition against the Spaniards in St. Augustine, Florida. This expedition proved unsuccessful and entailed a heavy burden on the Colony. To cover the expenses, bills of credit were issued, being the First Paper Money used in South Carolina, and a duty was imposed on every negro slave, which was the First Tax on the importation of negroes. There are original land grants to James Moore, recorded in Charleston, South Carolina, July 26, 1686. In December, 1703, James Moore commanded an expedition against the Appalachian Indians; devastated their country, and completely subdued them; he thus re-established his military prestige which had been diminished by his previous failure at St. Augustine. His indomitable energy and ambitions found expression also in other directions. He was a great adventurer and successful Indian trader; had been 600 miles up in the country west of Charlestown, and in 1691 made a long journey into the Appalachian mountains. Declaring the only way to discover the Mississippi was from the Province by land, he offered to undertake this expedition if the Crown would pay the expenses; one of his objects also was to explore gold and silver mines. He was also Chief Justice of the Carolinas, Judge of the Admiralty, 1705; member of the Church of England, Goose Creek Church, South Carolina. All of his sons were educated in England. He died in 1706 of yellow fever, and his will (number 24) is recorded in Charleston, South Carolina, proven November 6, 1706. Buried at Charleston, S. C. Children: 1.

Moore, James page 431 MOORE, James, governor of South Carolina, 1719, was born in Charlesten, S.C., in 1667; son of James Moore, governor of South Carolina, 1700, who emigrated from Ireland in 1665, settled in Charleston, and was married in 1666 to the daughter of Sir John Yeamans. James became well known as a soldier in his campaigns against the Indians, and in 1702 he conducted an unsuccessful expedition against the Spaniards at St. Augustine, resulting in a heavy debt on the colony, which was relieved by issuing the first paper money used in South Carolina. In 1703 he led an expedition against the Appalachian Indians in Cape Fear, N.C., and completely subdued them. In 1713 he commanded the forces sent by Gov. Charles Craven to aid the settlers of North Carolina. Upon the deposition of Gov. Johnson he was elected his successor in 1719, but was succeeded the same year by Arthur Middleton. He subsequently served as attorney-general and judge of the admiralty court of South Carolina, and was speaker of the state assembly, 1721-25. He removed to North Carolina about 1735, and lived with his brother Maurice Moore, one of the pioneer settlers of the colony of North Carolina, and resided in Cape Fear district, where he was ill in a room adjoining that of his brother, and both died at about the same hour, Nov. 19, 1740.[p.431] More About James Moore, Governor: Additional Political: Bet. 1685 - 1700, He held various positions Burial: Bef. 06 November, Charleston, South Carolina734 Cause of Death: Yellow fever734 Established: 1683, Boochawee Hall and Wassamassaw Plantations, and also had several town lots in Charles Town [now Charleston] Excursions: 1690, He traveled 600 miles into the interior to search for trade oppurtunities and for gold Financial Support: 1691, In 1691 he took a trip into the mountains of the northeast, and asked for financial support for further expeditions, which the Crown refused Governorship: 1700, Was made Governor Mercantile pursuits: Bet. 1683 - 1706, Fur trade, illegal I"ndian slave trade, part owner of two merchant vessels Migrated: Bet. 1665 - 1674, From Barbadoes to South Carolina Military: 1702, Commander of the forces of the colony that gained great distinction in the wars against the Indians and at St. Augustine, Florida734 Occupation: Bet. 1666 - 1673, Managed William Walley's plantation Political Position: Bet. 1677 - 1683, Member of the Grand Council, proprietary judge 1682/83 Political Trouble: Abt. 1683, Was dismissed as a deputy as he disobeyed orders and enslaved Indians Probate: 06 November 1706, Charleston, South Carolina734 Property: 1683, He received a grant for 2, 400 acres near Goose Creek Religion: Abt. 1705, Church of England734 Transportation: 1684, Paid for 37 servants to come to the colony Will: Abt. 1706, recorded in Charleston, South Carolina734 Notes for Margaret Berringer, A Twin: Margaret was the daughter of Lt. Colonel Benjamin Berringer of Barbados and the "adopted" [actually his ste-daughter] daughter of Sir John Yeamans. [1] Her natural father, Benjamin Berringer died before she was born. THE ENGLISH THREAT England, not France, was Florida's greatest threat. Since the start of South Carolina in 1658, English settlers began to invade Florida's mission system. St. Augustine was raided in 1665 and 1668. In 1686 Cuban naval units unsuccessfully attacked Charleston. Since the Spanish Crown refused to arm the Catholic Indians, the Governor of Florida was helpless to rescue the gradual destruction of mission system. Queen Anne's War (1701-1714) marked the decline of Spanish influence in North America. Governor James Moore of South Carolina brought an army of 1200 militia against St. Augustine. They destroyed the village and destroyed all neighboring missions. St. Augustine survived this invasion, but Moore sent Yamasee and Chisca Indians into the Tallahassee Hills to destroy the missions there. Spain could not rebuild the missions. In 1655, some seventy friars converted 26,000 Indians. In 17ll, there were just twenty friars and 400 active converts, most outside St. Augustine. THE ENGLISH CONQUEST OF GEORGIA ***************************************** 1690 Carolina colonist James Moore journeys up the Savannah River into Cherokee country, crossing the Appalachian summit for the first time; the Cherokee trade flourishes in subsequent years. 1691 English-allied Uchise Creek Indians assault and destroy mission San Juan de Guacara on the Suwannee River in Florida. 1702 English-allied Uchise Creek Indians assault mission Santa Fé de Teleco in north-central Florida; a massive retaliatory strike by 800 Christian Indians under Spanish direction is ambushed along the lower Flint River in southwestern Georgia, where half of the Spanish force is killed. 1702 Carolina Governor James Moore traverses the Georgia coast to mount a land and sea assault on St. Augustine and its northernmost missions; St. Augustine is burned to the ground along with all remaining Guale and Mocama refugee missions. 1704 Governor Moore finances a massive expedition against the Apalachee mission province of northwest Florida; using Uchise Creek allies staged at Ocmulgee town in central Georgia, combined English-Indian forces annihilate the missions, torturing, killing, and enslaving hundreds of Christian Apalachee for sale in Carolina; other Apalachees agree to relocate freely to the Carolina frontier along the Savannah Survey & Research Reports: Charlotte-Mecklenburg Historic Landmarks ************************************************************************** 40&sa=N Margaret was the posthumus daughter of Col Benjamin BERRINGER and soon after she was born, her mother married Sir John Yeamans. Sir John Yeamans became the Governor of the Carolinas in 1665. Appears to be a twin to John, both of whom were born posthumous to father. There has been a lot of confusion and controversy among researchers about whether James Moore's wife was a daughter of John Yeamans, the widow of John Yeamans, or, a step-daughter of John Yeamans. The above sources subscribe to the third theory, that James Moore's wife was Margaret Foster, posthumous daughter of Col. Benjamin Barringer. Please see the notes for Benjamin Barringer for more details. Other sources, such as Samuel A. Ashe's 1905 book, "A Biographical History of North Carolina", say that an Elizabeth Yeamans, daughter of Sir John Yeamans, was the wife of James Moore. ============================================================== [1]Ettie Tidwell McCall, McCall-Tidwell and Allied Families, (Atlanta, Georgia: Walter W.

More About Margaret Berringer, A Twin: Migrated: January 1664/65, to South Carolina734 Marriage Notes for James Moore and Margaret Berringer: South Carolina was early in resisting British rule. In 1693 the colony won the right to initiate legislation in the British House of Commons. In 1704 an act that would have required members of the colonial assembly to adhere to the rites of the Church of England was defeated. The church was, however, made official in 1706 and remained so until 1778. In 1719 the populace rebelled against the British proprietors and their reactionary policies, expelling them and electing James Moore as governor. As a result the British crown assumed (1729) jurisdiction, and North and South Carolina were constituted as separate colonies. A survey of the boundary between the two,begun in 1735, was not completed until 1815.

NOTES OF INTEREST: There is much speculation about the birth place of Gov. James Moore. A newspaper article about his great grandson Judge Alfred Moore, written in 1918, declares that the Moore Family came from Edinburgh, Scotland. Several sources state that James was of Irish descent, descended from the Irish Patriot, Roger Moore who led the Irish Rebellion of 1641. Dr. Robert Wilson, Geneaologist of Charleston, South Carolina, found Gov. James Moore's official seal in the office of the Secretary of the State of Columbus, South Carolina. The seal bears the Swan and the Arms of the Moores of Devonshire, England. All sources seem to agree that Gov. James Moore came to South Carolina from Barbadoes, probably between 1665 and 1674. He married Margaret Barringer about 1675. He soon became an influential political leader. He identified himself with the discontented faction of the colonists as early as 1684, and although a member of the council as deputy of Sir John Colleton, was one of those most active in the overthrow of that governor in 1690, thereby incurring the displeasure of the proprietors, who even excluded him from a general pardon granted during Gov. Ludwell's administration. Nevertheless, in 1693-94, he headed the movement of the colonists who refused to pay quitrent. He repeatedly served as member of the council and assembly, was secretary of the province, and upon the death of Gov. Blake in 1700, was chosen governor of South Carolina. In 1702, he undertook an expedition against the Spaniards in St. Augustine, Florida; this proved unsuccessful and entailed a heavy burden on the colony. To cover the expenses, bills of credit were issued, being the first paper money used in South Carolina, and a duty was imposed on every african slave, which was the first tax upon the importation of africans. Although Moore's appointment was not confirmed by the proprietors, and another governor was commissioned by them on June 18, 1702, he remained in office until the latter's arrival in 1703, when he was made attorney-general of the colony. In December of the same year, he commanded an expedition against the Appalachian Indians, devastated their country, and completely subdued them, thus re-establishing his military prestige, which had been diminished by his previous failure at St. Augustine. His indomitable energy and ambition found expression also in other directions. He was a great adventurer and successful Indian trader, "had been 600 miles up in the country west of Charles Town", and in 1691, made a journey into the Appalachian mountains; finding several pieces of ore, he sent it to England, where it was assayed and reported to be very valuable. Declaring that the only way to discover the Mississippi was from the province by land, he offered to undertake the expedition if the crown would pay the expenses; but his real object was, no doubt, the exploring of gold and silver mines. He had ten children, of whom several played an important part in the history of South Carolina. Not only did he wage a war against the Spaniards in Florida and the Appalachian indians, he led the army himself. He enslaved many of the captured indians and became one of the wealthiest men in the Carolinas. They lived in Goose Creek, South Carolina on a plantation called Wassamassaw. Gov.

Notes for John Carroll: FROM: Warrants for Lands in South Carolina, 1680-1692, Land Warrants, 1680-1692, FTM CD#517, pp. 151-152 "Carolina Ss/ You Are forthwth to Cause to be Admeasurd & Laid out unto JOHN CARROLL Seaventy Acres of Land, being Due to him for ye right of MARY SMITH, now his wife, entered servant to Capt. Steven Bull in some Convenient place not yet Laid out or marked to be laid out for any other person or use observing the Lords "Instructions bearing Date the 21th of septem 1683/ and a Certifycate fully specifying the scituation & bounds thereof you are to Returne unto us wth all Convenient speed & for your soe Doeing this shall be yor Warrt: Dated the 10th Day of April 1684/ To Majr Mau Matthews Joseph Morton Surveyr: Generall Maur Matthewes John Moore John Godfrey" The above warrant shows that our ancestor, John Carroll married Mary Smith, a servant of Stephen Bull. Stephen Bull was quite prominent in early South Carolina records as there are many land transfers and deed documents. He was born bef 1650 and died 1706 at Ashley Plantation in York County, South Carolina. The following is quoted from the "History of the Carroll Family" written in 1879 by Thomas H. Carroll. "My great great grandfather, John Carroll, born 1667, joined the forces of William of Orange and was present at the battle of River Boyne, where the kings forces were routed. After the accession of William to the throne, an act was passed and carried into effect during his reign, granting a pension to each soldier of the prince of Orange. This included grants of land in the British Colonies in North America. John Carroll was given a grant of one league, ar three miles square, which was never laid out by him, but descended to his oldest son, Joseph Carroll, my great grandfather, who was born in the year 1699 in Tyrone County, Ireland, and by him it was laid out in York District, South Carolina in 1751, sixty-one years after the service for which it was given, was rendered." From "History of the Watson Family in America" by Clayton Keith. I quote from the 'History of the Carroll Family,' written by Hon. Thos. M. Carroll, our state senator from this district, from 1868 to 1872. His history was written in 1879. "My great great grandfather, John Carroll, born in 1667, joined the forces of William of Orange and was present at the battle of the River Boyne, where the king's forces were routed. After the accession of William to the throne, an act was passed and carried into effect during his reign granting a pension to each soldier of the prince of Orange. This included grants of land in the British colonies in North America. John Carroll was given a grant of one league, or three miles square, which was never laid by him, but descended to his oldest son, Joseph Carroll, my great grandfather, who was born in the year 1699 in County Tyrone, Ireland, and by him it was laid in York district, South Carolina in 1751, sixty-one years after the service for which it was given, was rendered." --Also from "History of the Watson Family in America" -- Hon. Thos. M. Carroll, the biographer, says: "My father stopped at the Buffalo Lick. It was known in the Carolinas as the 'Buffalo District'. My father made a stand here, till he looked at the country. He selected a location on Haw Creek, and was cutting the logs and preparing to build a cabin when Bennett Goldsberry, father of John B. Goldsberry of Frankford, Mo., informed him that the land he had selected was covered by a French claim; that the heirs lived in France, and that it would probably not come into market during my father's life time, which proved to be true. The Sarpee heirs sold it in 1853 only seven years before my father's death. Jas. Templeton, Sr., a York County man, having settled upon and preempted four quarter sections of land in Township 53, tendered my father the southwest quarter of Section four, reserving ten acres of the northwest corner to be deeded to him when my father obtained letters patent for the same, which was carried out in good faith 21 years afterward. James M. Watson, Justice of the Peace and County Surveyor, surveyed it and drew up the deed which my father and mother signed and acknowledged in my presence in January, 1838. Here my parents settled permanently and here their seven youngest children were born." From "Centennial History of Pike County" by Clayton Keith, 1876. "In the same year" (1817), says Hon. Thos. M. Carroll, "came the Carrolls, Henrys, Byers, Findleys, Peytons, Tilletts, and Glenns from York district, South Carolina, to Pike county [Missouri]. My father, Joseph Carroll was a blacksmith and brought with him his anvil and bellows. He located on a tract of land four miles south of the present site of Louisiana. His was the first blacksmith shop in Pike county and in it he taught his son, Thomas, the art." -- Subject: Joseph Elias CARROLL(1) (1746-1803) Source: Roster of South Carolina Patriots in the American Revolution by Bobby Gilmer Moss, 1983; page 150 W9778 While residing in York District, he enlisted and served at various times as a private and quartermaster-sergeant under Captains Thomson, Henderson, Garrison and Barnett, Col. Henry Hampton and Gen.Sumter. He was in the battles at Stono, Huck's Defeat, Rocky Mount, Kings Mountain, Quinby's Bridge and Eutaw Springs. C.S.; Salley, Doc., p. 51; M336. (Brothers John, Samuel and Thomas also served) Notes for Mary Smith: According to the land warrant of John Carroll, he was married to Mary Smith who had been entered as a servant to Captain Stephen Bull. Stephen Bull was a prominent figure in early South Carolina records as shown by various land deeds/warrants on FTM CD#517.

THE SPARKMAN FAMILY, born Unknown. Notes for THE SPARKMAN FAMILY: The area known simply as the "Southward" was explored by Raleigh's party in 1586, but there was no serious settlement there until about seventy years later. The Virginia population overflowed into the frontier region and hunters and traders were soon followed by former indentured servants or younger Virginians seeking a start in life and by families desiring better lands. [1] [2] Following Nathaniel Batts, an early Indian trader between 1658 and 1661, numerous Virginians from Surry, Isle of Wight, Nansemond, and Norfolk Counties moved into the Albemarle region, creating a society on the southern fringe of Virginia even before King Charles II of England granted Carolina to the Lords Proprietors in 1663....The lower part of the Bertie Peninsula, at the mouth of Salmon Creek, filled so quickly that the proprietors designated it as one of the three ports of entry for the colony in 1676. [3] The North side of the Albemarle Sound was considered to be in Virginia Colony until March 1663, when King Charles II established "Carolina" as a new province and designated eight Lords Proprietors. The Carolina area covered a territory reaching from Virginia to Florida. [4] After the end of the Tuscarora War [1711-1715] the western half of Chowan Precinct underwent a population boom, and to meet the needs for local government, the provincial assembly divided Chowan Precint to create Bertie precinct, later County, in 1722. The name Bertie was derived from that of James and Henry Bertie, brothers and proprietors of Carolina. [5] Edenton, was known as Port Roanoke, and soon became the principal port on the Albemarle Sound in the colonial era, conducting a brisk trade with the northern colonies and the West Indies. Shingles, staves, and naval stores comprised a major part of the exports.[6] Corn, wheat, and a little tobacco constituted the principal commercial crops in Bertie County during the colonial era, and many raised livestock, particularly hogs, for sale. [7] By the mid-1700's, the average family size in Bertie was 8.7 persons, larger than in other Eastern Carolina counties. In the 1740s' Negroes constituted one fourth of the county's population.; in 1751, 17 percent of all households contained slaves; by 1773, it had risen to forty-three percent, and in 1790, there was an average of 8.3 slaves per slaveholding family. In the years following the Revolutionary War, the distribution of wealth in Bertie showed the lower thirty percent of the popukation held 1.7 percent of the wealth; the middle thirty percent, 7.9 percent; the upper 30 percent, 31.6 percent, and the upper ten percent held 58.8 percent of the wealth. The average inventoried wealth in Bertie was four hundred and thirty five punds, ten shillings current money and two thousand five hundred and sixty pounds current money for the wealthiest ten percent of the populace. After the taking of the first Federal census in 1790, Bertie;s population declined for three decades, reaching the 1790 total only in 1850. Poverty, stifling one party politics and cultural stagnation prompted this outmigration of many enterprising whites. Quakerism was the only organized religious discipline in the North Carolina Colony until 1700, however the Church of England was promoted and then established as the state church by legislatio in 1701 and 1703. In 1715, the state assembly designated two parishes, St. Paul's and Southwest Parish, in Chowan Precinct and, in 1727, Northwest Parish. Baptists appeared in Bertie perhaps as early as the 1720's, and the Methodists grew strong after the 1772 evangelizing of Reverend Joseph Pilmore who preached at Currituck County Courthouse. Methodism soom made numerous converts, enought that northeastern North Carolina and southeastern Virginia would come to be known as "the cradle of American Methodism". Windsor, a settlement at Gray's Landing on the Cashie River, was Bertie's oldest town. It was incorporated by the assembly in 1767 and became the county seat. By 1830, Windsor still remained a small town of one hundred and sixty blacks and one hundred and twenty-eight whites.

The community took its name from the Middle Fork Creek of the South Fork of the Forked Deer River, but is commonly known to many people as "Lizard Lick". Legend goes that the name was derived from an old salt lick in the area. The main records at this time are from Big Springs School, where five grades were taught at subscription rates from very early times until about 1898. One of the teachers was Jim Reid, who was one of the very few teachers that the more rowdier boys didn't manage to run off. Another was Dr. John W. Sparkman who taught there from July 1896 to January of 1898. The school had been held as long as anyone could remember at the Old Big Springs Presbyterian Church. When the congregation moved to another spot sometime after 1885, the old building was left for the school. However, sometime after 1898 a school was built closed to the "Lick", between the old home place of W. C. Crook and one of his seed houses. One of the teachers there was Mr. Charlie Pittman and his brother. Later a new building was built at the present school site sometime prior to 1916. This in turn was redone and when the number of pupils increased it was remodeled to accommodate two teachers. Middifork school taught all eight grades, and before it was consolidated into South Haven school, it had managed to be certified to teach two years of High School, the other two having to be taken at Lexington. The Middlefork School building is now [1980] the residence of Mr. Tray Ryals. 1790 North Carolina Census Index, p. 63 SPARKMAN, Edward, Bertie County, p. 015 01-03-03-00-00 SPARKMAN, George, Bertie County, p. 015 01-01-02-00-00 SPARKMAN, James, Bertie County, p. 015, 01-00-00-00-00 [just himself] SPARKMAN, R.

Those settlements were further north. The first Sparkmans came out of the Hampshire area of England, and settled in the Isle of Wright county where only the Church of England had sway. Of the first 4 Sparkman's to immigrate to the colonies, only one brought family with him (John), two were indentured (Richard & Thomas), and of Nicho(las) we don't know. Most religious persecution immigrants came over as families, not as indentured. The 1650 settlement in Chowan, now in North Carolina, then in Virginia, was also crown approved, so not a religious retreat for dissenters. Another line of though would be possible Roundheads vs Royalists, but then the John Sparkman mentioned above was appointed Sheriff in Isle of Wright, a slightly political office, and not one to be given to a political dissenter at odds with the Crown.

THE PITTMAN FAMILY Notes for THE PITTMAN FAMILY: A considerable amount of information is readily available on the Pittman Family in America, as early as the colonial times. Until about 1800 the surname was most usually spelled P-I-T-M-A-N. Hotten's "Persons" makes reference to the death of one Christopher Pitman in 1622 in Virginia. John Pitman made his will in St. Mary's White Chapel, Lancaster County, Virginia in 1702 [1] and the will of his wife, Elizabeth was probated in 1710 [2]. Both John and Elizabeth named children, Thomas, William, John and Ann. Surry and Isle of Wight Counties, Virginia contain references to Captain Thomas Pitman [ca 1615-1690] and his son, Thomas Pitman, Jr., the descendants of Thomas Jr., [1655-1730] through his sons Ambrose, Samuel, Thomas III, Robert, John, Joseph, and Arthur, all of whom removed from the Isle of Wight to Edgecombe and Halifax Counties, North Carolina, about 1739, have compiled family histories. These records show that Thomas Pittman, Jr., married Mary Hollman in 1706 and then before 1720 married Elizabeth Lancaster, and was the father of thirteen children. "Americans of Gentle Birth and Their Ancestors" by Mrs. H. D. Pittman, and Harper's "Colonial Men and Times" contain some information regarding one Williamson Pittman, who married Judith Watkins, and his descendants through his sons Asa and Williamson, Jr. This Williamson Pittman, Sr., was a son of Thomas Pittman and Hannah Fielding. The William and Mary College Quarterly Historical Magazine, Vol. 18 [1909-1910] states that Thomas Pittman married Hannah Fielding before 1750 and had Richard, Ambrose, and Williamson, and possibly other children, and that Richard and Williamson removed to Kentucky where Williamson became the father of Asa and Williamson, Jr, which also agrees with "Americans of Gentle Birth", and Ambrose Pittman married Mary Streator and removed to Edgecombe County, North Carolina wher4 he had children, Elisha, Elijah, Arthur and John. These records reveal the possibility of a connection between the descendants of Richard and Williamson Pittman in Kentucky and the descendants of Ambrose and his brothers in North Carolina, through Thomas Pitman, Jr., of Isle of Wight County, Virginia. However there are some descrepancies between the North Carolina Pittman Family History on one hand and "Americans of Gentle Birth" and the William and Mary Quarterly on the other hand. The North Carolina family history lists the sons of Thomas Pittman except William and Samson as removing to North Carolina. This list does not include Williamson Pittman. The North Carolina records do not include a Richard Pittman. The North Carolina records do show that one Ambrose Pittman married Annie [not Mary] Streeter. All sources show the same names for the children although the North Carolina records name more children than the other sources do. Another possibility from the North Carolina records that does not seem very likely is that Thomas Pittman, son of Thomas Jr., married Ann [?] and left a will probated 4 April 1754 in Edgecombe County, North Carolina, which mentiones sons, Lot Pittman and Thomas Pittman and six other sons and two daughters without stating their names. The Georgia Pittman Family Association has compiled a listing of many of the descendants of John Pittman who was probably born in Amelia County, Virginia on 3 October 1726, and married Mary "Polly" Rowe in 1747, making their home in Buckingham County, Virginia. About 1765 they removed to Edgefield District, South Carolina, and before 1770 to St. Pauls' Parish, later Richmond County, Georgia, with his children Lucy, John, Mary, James, Martha, Zilpha, Sarah , Phillip, Timothy and Grace. Some of these children were born after John Pittman left Virginia. His oldest son, Buckner Pittman, probably remained in Virginia and married there. It is beleived that his wife died leaving an infant son, Jesse, who was raised by his grandfather, John Pittman. Some time before 1797 Buckner Pittman went to Natchez in Adams County, Mississippi where he is beleived to have married and had several children. =============================================================== [1] Lancaster Will Book 8, 1690-1709 [2] Lancaster Wills, Etc. 1709-1727 Children of THE PITTMAN FAMILY are: 808 i.

John Pittman was beleived to have been a Cromwell supporter. Interestingly the other Pittman Immigrant of the 1600s in VA was a Capt. Thomas Pittman who was a crown supporter and left England when Cromwell took power from Charles I about 20 years before John Pittman immigrated to Lancaster County about 1675. Thomas Pittman immigrated to Isle of Wight County about 1649 and his line moved west and south into North Carolina and beyond, while John Pittman's line seems to have mostly moved west into WVA, KY and the Ohio river valley. In early VA there is little evidence for mixing of the two lines. John Pittman supposedly came from the area east of Cardiff, Wales which at that time was on the border between England and Wales. This area was the location of much of the fighting during the English civil war. Before the middle ages this Pittman line is beleived to have come from Denmark with the invasion of England by the Jutes. They are probably the same as the German line "Bittman". John Pittman was born in 1624 or 1625 in England. He emigrated the the American Colonies and settled in Lancaster County, Virginia. He was a "Roundhead", that is, a Cromwell supporter, and a Protestant (as opposed to an Anglican or English Catholic). Left England to escape persecution of King Charles II and arrived in Virginia about 1675. The Pittman and Fielding families lived in the "Northern Neck" of Virginia, bounded by the northern bank or the Rappahannock River, Chesapeake Bay and the Maryland line. This location distinguishes this Pittman family from the line of Capt. Thomas Pittman, Cavalier (Crown supporter), who settled in the Isle of Wight County, Virginia. The source for most of this information is a compilation prepared by a distant relative, Bunelle Hall Gresham of 4916 Rutland, Ft. Worth, Texas, who is currently preparing a family history of the Pittman and Boyett families in book form.

Thomas Joyner II761, born 14 November 1619 in Bere Regis, Dorset, England; died 21 May 1694 in Isle Of Wight County, Virginia762. He was the son of 3328. Thomas Joyner I and 3329. Unknown [Marye?] Mrs. Thomas Joyner Wife. He married 1665. Sarah Edwards Bet. 1640 - 1646. 1665. Sarah Edwards, born Abt. 1620. She was the daughter of 3330. Robert Edwards and 3331. Mary, Wife of Robert Edwards. Notes for Thomas Joyner II: The first person of the name of Joyner in the Southern States appears to have been one Thomas Joyner, aged 16 years, who sailed from the Port of London on 30 Septembr 1635, bound for the "Bermudoes" on the good ship "Dorst", with Master John Dorst. [1] He may very well have been the Thomas Joyner who settled in Accomac, Virginia, for one Thomas Joyner was a headright of Elizabeth and Rachell Robbins, orphans of Edward Robbins, who patented three hundred and fifty acres in Northampton County, Virginia on June 4th, 1646, for the transportation of seven persons among whom was Thomas Joyner. [2] The first ancestor of this distinguished North Carolina family was Thomas Joyner of Isle of Wight county, Virginia who may have been the same Thomas Joyner who moved from Northampton. However, John Munger, first of his family in Isle of Wight, Virginia, was a headright of Nicholas George and John Grimsditch who patented three hundred acres in Isle of Wight, February 20, 1638 [3]. On July 29th, 1650, John Munger patented eight hundred acres on the north side of the Rappahannock Rover on Corotoman River for the transportation of sixteen persons. Among them was "Charles Barcroft the fourth time" and THOMAS JOYNER. Barcroft settled in Isle of Wight [4]. Also on that same day WILLIAM YARRET, a prominent Quaker of Isle of Wight, JOHN BOND and ANTHONY FULGHAM patented land near JOHN MUNGER. They were residents of Isle of Wight.

Notes for Benjamin Berringer, Lt. Colonel: ST. NICHOLAS ABBEY This Jacobean Mansion is located in the parish of St. Peter and was built in 1660. this magnificent, well preserved mansion has curved Dutch Gables, chimney stacks and coral stone finials, a Chinese Chippendale staircase and fine antiques and china are just a few of the furnishings still seen in a tour of the Abbey. St. Abbey's history is not all magnificent splendor, for it does have its' tale of tragedy. The house was built by Colonel Benjamin Berringer. His neighbour and friend as well as his business partner, John Yeaman, who would later become, Sir John Yeaman, began paying attention to Benjamin's wife, Margaret [Foster] Berringer, a feud erupted between the two men, which ended in a duel [1], and Colonel Berringer was killed. Soon after the duel, John Yeamans married Mrs. Berringer and took claim of the Abbey. However he did not retain claim. A court ruling later returned the Abbey and surrounding property to Colonel Benjamin's childre4n and the property was named after Berringer's granddaughter who married George Nicholas. Meanwhile, Sir John Yeaman and Colonel Berringer's widow left Barbados in 1669 and helped found the colony that is now South Carolina, with Sir John eventually becoming Governor of that settlement in 1672. Two years later, Sir John returned to Barbados and died, and his widow then married for a third time. [2] LIEUTENANT-COLONEL BENJAMIN BERRINGER OF BARBADOS.

She came to South Carolina in January, 1665, became the wife of James Moore, later Governor of the Carolinas; their daughter: MARY MOORE married Robert Howes. ============================================================== [1] One researcher states that Col. Berringer was poisoned. "Apparently, while still in Barbados, Sir John Yeamans fell in love with the wife of Lt Col Benjamin Berringer and, together with his paramour, murdered her husband by poisoning! Ten days after Berringer's death, his wife married Yeamans and, through chicanery, substituted Berringer's will (which thoroughly excluded his wife and child from his estate) with a so-called oral will leaving everything to her.

Vol 1--11, pp. 68, 121,231;Vol.III, pp.389--395;Vol VIII, p.2859.) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ FOOTNOTES 1According to Peter Haizelden, John deHardy was never Lord Mayor. Although researchers in the past have recorded him as Lord Mayor. According to Peter Haizelden the title of Lord Mayor did not evolve into general use until the mid-1540's. John deHardy was Citzen and Harberdasher (Master 1528-29) and was a Alderman of Aldersgate, 1524-28 and Farringdon within 1528. He was Sheriff of London 1527-28, Auditor 1531-33. John deHardy died October 1540; his Will was dated the 7th and proved 21 October 1540, PCC14 Alenger. John deHardy's Will was proved at Preogative Court of Canterbury (PCC 14 Alenger) John deHardy was never knighted. John deHardy was Sheriff of London--This research was done by Clarence Morris, who hopes to get a copy of John deHardy's Will from London. Records of the Prerogative Court of Canterbury are held by the Public Record Office, Ruskin Avenue, Kew, Richmond TW9 4Du and may be viewed there or/and they may be viewed at the Family Records Centre, 1 Myddelton Street, London EC1R 1UW. A letter from the CLRO@corpoflondon.gov.uk states, "We have checked the entry of John deHardy in AB Beaven 'THE ALDERMAN OF THE CITY OF LONDON (1908, 1913) which confirms the information given to you by Peter Haizelden. John deHardy Will was proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury (PCC 14 Alenger). As Peter Haizelden pointed out, John deHardy was an Alderman and Sheriff but was never Lord Mayor of London." Records of the Prerogative Court of Canterbury are held by the public Record Office, Ruskin Avenue, Kew, Richmond TW9 4Du and may be viewed there or/and at the Family Records Centre, 1 Myddelton Street, London EC1R 1UW. In addition, records of the haberdashers' company are at the Guildhall Library Manuscripts Section, Aldermanbury, London EC2P 2EJ. All of this information would not have been possible if it were not for the hard work and dedication of Clarence Morris. But we must never forget that John deHardy was written as Lord Mayor of London for generations in our family, and perhaps in the future we will better understand why this title was passed down. 2The meaning of Alderman, from Britannica Online: al•der•man noun Pronunciation: 'ol-d&r-m&n Etymology: Middle English, from Old English ealdorman, from ealdor parent (from eald old) + man -- more at OLD Date: before 12th century 1 : a person governing a kingdom, district, or shire as viceroy for an Anglo-Saxon king 2 a : a magistrate formerly ranking next below the mayor in an English or Irish city or borough b : a high-ranking member of a borough or county council in Ireland or formerly in England chosen by elected members 3 : a member of a city legislative body - al•der•man•ic /"ol-d&r-'ma-nik/ adjective Child of Sir DeHardy and Mary Stanley is: 3336 i.

James Moore, who is said to have married a daughter of Sir John Yeamans was the ancestor of the Barbadoes set. These all came to the Carolinas from the Barbadoes with John Yeamans, Arthur Middleton, Gov, Robert Daniel, the Broughtons and others, and settled between The Ashley and Cooper Rivers in South Carolina about the same time, 1678/9. It is probable that Gov. Moore had brothers. Possibilities: David Moore and Nathaniel, also a Roger Moore. Gov. James Moore was certainly the father of a James, a Maurice and a Roger Moore, and probably of a Nathaniel, John, Joseph, Richard and Edward, all of whom appear on the records, but unidentified as his children. It is known that Gov. James Moore who married Miss Yeamans had a large family (McGrady) and certainly only the three known sons would not have complied with that description. The son James was also Governor, but died in 1722-35, and he left a son Maurice, but not the one who established Brunswick and lived and died there in 1777. Maurice Moore, brother of the second Gov. James left sons Maurice and James, mentioned in the will of Alexander Duncan, and Roger Moore mentioned in the will of John Dalrymple. What became of Maurice Moore, son of Gov. James Moore, these records do not show. Not all of these Moores remained in South Carolina, nor did they all live in Wilmington, but moved to the Albemarle Sound region where they multiplied and replenished the earth. (2) The Lower Norfolk, or Bermuda Moores were all descendants of Richard Moore the first Governor of Bermuda, whose father was Sir George Moore, son of Sir William Moore whose first wife was Margaret, the daughter of Ralph Daniel (Alexander Brown), who lived in Swaffham, county Norfolk, England from whence came the Woodhouse Family. Richard Moore had a son Edmund Moore, who with his son-in-law Henry Woodhouse (also son of a Governor of Bermuda) settled at Lynhaven Parish in Lower Norfolk County, or Princess Ann, Va. He was the father of Cason Moore who married Sarah Woodhouse, Thomas Moore William Moore who married Mary Woodhouse, and Elizabeth Moore who became the wife of Henry Woodhouse ho will be found in these records. These Lower Norfolk Moores spelled the name MORE for a time, but later adopted the usual spelling of Moore. Obediah Moore of Onslow County, N.C. was a descendant of this set. The William Moore and his wife Elizabeth of Berkeley Precient records belonged to this set, and the careful researcher in these records will find it possible to trace the line therefrom. Morgan More/Moore was of this clan. (3) The Bristol Parish Moores. On the old register of Bristol Parish in Virginia will be found a list of Moores, apparently the descendants of a "Great John Moore" there mentioned, in which the names Seth, Roger, James John, Thomas Alexander George Samuel and Mark Moore are mentioned. Seth Moore, son of "Great John" was born in 1692, and reasonably may have been the father of the others, or most of them. That some of these Moores went to Albemarle is evident by the presence of the names on the North Carolina records. John Moore an his wife Catherine had a Bettie Rutherford Moore born in 1731, and John Rutherford and his daughter Frances are mentioned with Maurice and James Moore in the will of Alexander Duncan of Wilmington in 1768." From The Book of Heraldry - Famous European Surnames NOW COME to the Celtic patronymics formed from personal names of purely native origin. As many of these are capable of being translated, being originally significant of personal qualities, it is often difficult to distinguish between the regular names and the mere nick-names, whose derivatives in family nomenclature are discussed in the following chapter. In making this distinction, our guide must be the old Irish records, which give us some of these words as regular names, while others appear only as descriptive epithets appended to the names. Several of these native names were borne by persons who attained the honours of saintship, and thus, like other hagiological names, give rise to secondary formations with the prefix Giolla. MOORE, contradled from 0 ' Mordha, 'Mordha's descendant.' (Mordha is derived from mór (meaning "great") 'AIMERGIN UA MORDHA,' A.D. 1026. O'MORDHA is anglicised O'MORE and MORE, which has now usually become MOORE. The O'MORE's were a powerful sept (clan) in Ireland. MORE is the usual form till the end of the 16th Century. It is a common name in Ireland, Scotland, and the North of England, as well as in the Isle of Mann. From Clans & Tartans by Ian Grimble This is a somewhat puzzling example of a name which appears to have two quite different alternative meanings. The English one would indicate residence beside a moor or heath, while the Gaelic one is a descriptive suffix following a personal name. When Thomas de la More acted as executor to the will of Devorguilla, mother of King John Balliol, in 1291, it might appear that his name contains the English territorial meaning. But Norman bowdlerisation is at least as probable in this case; and this shows very clearly in another example of 1296. When Donald, son of Michael More in the wholly Gaoelic province of the Lennox, rendered homage, his name was written Dovenal le fiz Michel More de Levenaghes. Here the name has been left without the insertion of de or de la, in its proper role as an adjective, which follows the noun in Gaelic. Mor (the Gaelic) simply means "big" and may be compared with Og ("young") and Beag ("small"), which have provided the Scottish surnames Oag and Begg. The most common descriptive title given to a man, in the oldest surviving tongue of the country, is naturally one of the most widely dispersed that one is likely to find. In the case of families connected with the immigrant Anglo-Norman aristocracy, it is natural to find the prestigious de, with its suggestion of a property origin. Yet it could be a mere slip of a Norman pen that has preserved the names of de la More jurors at Conyngham in 1296, while the knight who witnessed charters of King Robert Bruce was designated simply Adam More. Robertus More was a burgess of Aberdeen in 1317, and in the following century the name is found in countries in which the Norse tongue was still spoken - Orkney and Shetland. In 1347 Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Adam Mure of Rowallan, married Kind Robert II. The prosperity of the Mures of Rowallan survived that of the royal Stewarts, only to die out in the male line in 1700. A variant of their spelling of the name was borne by the poet Edwin Muir (1887 - 1959), who belonged to the little island of Wyre in Orkney; and he shared this spelling with the two distinguished brothers, John Muir, the Sanskrit scholar, and Sir William Muir, the biographer of Mohammed. General Sir John Moore gave immortality to a spelling more common in Ireland, by his heroic retreat to Corunna during the Napoleonic wars. It has been suggested that such variants are peculiar to particular localities: that Moar belongs to the northern isles, and Moir to Aberdeen. The study of a single pedigree proves that even if this happens to be the case today, it is without historical significance. In the parish of Drymen, a Gaelic area in which Buchanan chiefs had been parish clerks, the register used the so-called Aberdonian spelling when John Moir married Margaret Mclew in 1724. Their son, born in 1730, was likewise called John Moir, but his son William, born in 1758, was given the so-called Shetland spelling "Moar" in the record of his marriage. His wife had the local Gaelic name of Elizabeth Buchanan, and he followed the immemorial occupation of farming. The Drymen register called him William More when their son was born. In the manner characteristic of this period their son John More (1788 - 1868) entered the service of religion, and became the Anti-Burgher minister at Cairneyhill in Fife. When he married Jean, daughter of theological Professor George Paxton, the Edinburgh register reverted to the Aberdonian spelling, "Moir." Thereafter, as the minister's descendants moved into new professions, even farther from a Gaelic background that was in any case evaporating behind them, their name ceased to deviate from the More spelling. His son James, born in 1834, became a doctor of medicine in Wigtownshire. His grandson John, born in 1862, followed the same profession in England. His great-grandson, Lieutenant Colonel James More C.I.E., D.S.O., was Political Agent in Kuwait, and the Colonel's son John More, born in 1931, is the distinguished Scottish artist.

Adela (Alix) Capet, Countess of France. Notes for Richard Forster, Sir: Richard Forster was born in Flanders, France (now part of Belgium) about 1035 and died about 1080 in Scotland. He was the son of Baldwin V, Count of Flanders, and Adela (Alix) Capet, Princess of France. His sister, Matilda (or Maud), married William the Conqueror. When William, then Duke of Normandy, claimed the English throne and was granted assistance from the Pope to invade England, the king of France commissioned Baldwin V to head the French forces. Baldwin, son-in-law of the King of France, was father-in-law of William. Richard accompanied his father to England to fight with William. Richard was knighted by William after the Battle of Hastings. He is mentioned in William's Demodé Book. He was granted land on the Anglo-Scottish border in Northumberland and Berwick counties by William. Richard was supposedly poisoned by his brother, Robert. Richard was nicknamed "the Frislander", probably in reference to his place of origin in the Norman-French area of Frizzy, or his holding there. He inherited this land from his mother. Richard was the first in his line to use the name Frostier as a surname.

Robert II 'The Pious' King Of France and 973078531. Constance Of Arles Toulouse. Notes for Baldwin V "the Pious" of Flanders: For hundreds of years before 1066, England had been ruled by Anglo-Saxon kings. When Edward "the Confessor" died in 1066, William of Normandy saw his chance for a successful invation of England. He built a fleet, attracted many knights, and obtained the pope's blessing. He gained victory at the Battle of Hastings and was crowned King of England on Christmas of 1066. During the next few years, William presided over a gradual redistribution of land in England. Saxon rebellions led to the confiscation of lands, which the Norman Barons received. As a result of this Norman invation, the English people today are of both Norman and Anglo-Saxon extraction. Baldwin and his son both came to England with William the Conqueror. [1] ================================================================== [1] Tab.Souv.

Notes for Alfred The Great: The course of English history would have been very different had it not been for Alfred The Great. He won renown both as a statesman and as a warrior and is justly called "the Great". The England of Alfred's time was a country of four small Saxon kingdoms. The strongest of which was Wessex, in the south. Born about 849, Alfred was the youngest son of Aethlwulf, King of Wessex. Each of Alfred's three older brothers, in turn, ruled the kingdom. Alfred was by temperment a scholar, and his health was never robust. Regardless, in his early youth he fought with his brother Ethelred against Danish invaders. Alfred was just twenty-three years of age when Ethelred died, but he had already won the confidence of the army and was at one proclaimed king in 871. by this time the Danes, or Vikings, had penetrated all parts of the Island. Three of the Saxon kingdoms Northumbria, Mercia, and East anglia had one after another fallen to the Danish invaders. Under the leadership of Alfred, the Saxons once again found courage. The worst crisis came in the winter of 877, when the Danish King, Guthrum, invaded Wessex with his army. in 878 Alfred was defeated at Chippenham, where he was celebrating Christmas, and was forced to go into hiding. A few months later he forced Guthrum to surrender at Chippenham. the Danes agreed to make the River thames and the old roman road known as Watling Street the boundary between Alfred's kingdom and the Danish lands to the north. The treaty, however, did not assure that peace would be permanent. The Danes assaulted London and the coastal towns repeatedly. In about 896 they finally admitted defeat and ceased their struggle for a foothold in southern England. Alfred was much more than the defender of his country. He took a keen interest in law and order and was concerned with the improvement of the cultural standards of his people. He encouraged industries of all kinds and rebuilt London, which had been partly destroyed by the Danes. He collected and revised the old laws of the kingdom, invited learned men from other countries to instruct the people because even the clergy of Wessex no longer knew Latin, the International language of the church. Alfred established a school similar to the Palace School of Charlemagne. Two of the most notable of the teachers were the Welsh Monk Asser [flourished 885-909] and the Irish born philosopher and theologian John Scotus Erigena. The books most necessary for all to know, were translated from Latin into English so that the people might read them. Alfred himself took part in preparing the translations. The Anglo Saxon Chronicle was most probably under his direction. At about the age of fifty-one, Alfred died [899]. He was in no sense a true king of England, for he ruled less than half of the island. After his death, however, his capable son, Edward the Elder, and his grandsons extended their rule over all of England.

Notes for Charlemagne King Of The Franks: [muncyeagle.FBC.FTW] [Brøderbund WFT Vol. 19, Ed. 1, Tree #1362, Date of Import: 20 Nov 1999] [Brøderbund WFT Vol. 3, Ed. 1, Tree #2553, Date of Import: Jun 20, 1997] Charles The Great CHARLEMAGNE (742?-814). "By the sword and the cross," Charlemagne (Charles the Great) became master of Western Europe. It was falling into decay when Charlemagne became joint king of the Franks in 768. Except in the monasteries, people had all but forgotten education and the arts. Boldly Charlemagne conquered barbarians and kings alike. By restoring the roots of learning and order, he preserved many political rights and revived culture. Charlemagne's grandfather was Charles Martel, the warrior who crushed the Saracens (see Charles Martel). Charlemagne was the elder son of Bertrade ("Bertha Greatfoot") and Pepin the Short, first "mayor of the palace" to become king of the Franks. Although schools had almost disappeared in the 8th century, historians believe that Bertrade gave young Charles some education and that he learned to read. His devotion to the church motivated him throughout life. Charlemagne was tall, powerful, and tireless. His secretary, Eginhard, wrote that Charlemagne had fair hair and a "face laughing and merry . . . his appearance was always stately and dignified." He had a ready wit, but could be stern. His tastes were simple and moderate. He delighted in hunting, riding, and swimming. He wore the Frankish dress linen shirt and breeches, a silk-fringed tunic, hose wrapped with bands, and, in winter, a tight coat of otter or marten skins. Over all these garments "he flung a blue cloak, and he always had a sword girt about him." Charlemagne's character was contradictory. In an age when the usual penalty for defeat was death, Charlemagne several times spared the lives of his defeated foes; yet in 782 at Verden, after a Saxon uprising, he ordered 4,500 Saxons beheaded. He compelled the clergy and nobles to reform, but he divorced two of his four wives without any cause. He forced kings and princes to kneel at his feet, yet his mother and his two favorite wives often overruled him in his own household. Charlemagne Begins His Reign In 768, when Charlemagne was 26, he and his brother Carloman inherited the kingdom of the Franks. In 771 Carloman died, and Charlemagne became sole ruler of the kingdom. At that time the northern half of Europe was still pagan and lawless. In the south, the Roman Catholic church was striving to assert its power against the Lombard kingdom in Italy. In Charlemagne's own realm, the Franks were falling back into barbarian ways, neglecting their education and religion. Charlemagne was determined to strengthen his realm and to bring order to Europe. In 772 he launched a 30-year campaign that conquered and Christianized the powerful pagan Saxons in the north. He subdued the Avars, a huge Tatar tribe on the Danube. He compelled the rebellious Bavarian dukes to submit to him. When possible he preferred to settle matters peacefully, however. For example, Charlemagne offered to pay the Lombard king Desiderius for return of lands to the pope, but, when Desiderius refused, Charlemagne seized his kingdom in 773 to 774 and restored the Papal States. The key to Charlemagne's amazing conquests was his ability to organize. During his reign he sent out more than 50 military expeditions. He rode as commander at the head of at least half of them. He moved his armies over wide reaches of country with unbelievable speed, but every move was planned in advance. Before a campaign he told the counts, princes, and bishops throughout his realm how many men they should bring, what arms they were to carry, and even what to load in the supply wagons. These feats of organization and the swift marches later led Napoleon to study his tactics. One of Charlemagne's minor campaigns has become the most famous. In 778 he led his army into Spain, where they laid siege to Saragossa. They failed to take the city, and during their retreat a group of Basques ambushed the rear guard at Roncesvalles and killed "Count Roland." Roland became a great hero of medieval songs and romances (see Roland). By 800 Charlemagne was the undisputed ruler of Western Europe. His vast realm covered what are now France, Switzerland, Belgium, and the Netherlands. It included half of present-day Italy and Germany, part of Austria, and the Spanish March ("border"). The broad March reached to the Ebro River. By thus establishing a central government over Western Europe, Charlemagne restored much of the unity of the old Roman Empire and paved the way for the development of modern Europe. Crowned Emperor On Christmas Day in 800, while Charlemagne knelt in prayer in St. Peter's in Rome, Pope Leo III seized a golden crown from the altar and placed it on the bowed head of the king. The throng in the church shouted, "To Charles the August, crowned by God, great and pacific emperor, long life and victory!" Charlemagne is said to have been surprised by the coronation, declaring that he would not have come into the church had he known the pope's plan. However, some historians say the pope would not have dared to act without Charlemagne's knowledge. The coronation was the foundation of the Holy Roman Empire. Though Charlemagne did not use the title, he is considered the first Holy Roman emperor (see Holy Roman Empire). Reform and Renaissance Charlemagne had deep sympathy for the peasants and believed that government should be for the benefit of the governed. When he came to the throne, various local governors, called "counts," had become lax and oppressive. To reform them, he expanded the work of investigators, called missi dominici. He prescribed their duties in documents called capitularies and sent them out in teams of two a churchman and a noble. They rode to all parts of the realm, inspecting government, administering justice, and reawakening all citizens to their civil and religious duties. Twice a year Charlemagne summoned the chief men of the empire to discuss its affairs. In all problems he was the final arbiter, even in church issues, and he largely unified church and state. Charlemagne was a tireless reformer who tried to improve his people's lot in many ways. He set up money standards to encourage commerce, tried to build a Rhine-Danube canal, and urged better farming methods. He especially worked to spread education and Christianity in every class of people. He revived the Palace School at Aachen, his capital. He set up other schools, opening them to peasant boys as well as nobles. Charlemagne never stopped studying. He brought an English monk, Alcuin, and other scholars to his court. He learned to read Latin and some Greek but apparently did not master writing. At meals, instead of having jesters perform, he listened to men reading from learned works. To revive church music, Charlemagne had monks sent from Rome to train his Frankish singers. To restore some appreciation of art, he brought valuable pieces from Italy. An impressive monument to his religious devotion is the cathedral at Aachen, which he built and where he was buried (see Aachen). At Charlemagne's death in 814 only one of his three sons, Louis, was living. Louis's weak rule brought on the rise of civil wars and revolts. After his death his three quarreling sons split the empire between them by the Partition of Verdun in 843. --------------------------------------------------------- Excerpted from Compton's Interactive Encyclopedia Copyright c 1993, 1994 Compton's NewMedia, Inc. --------------------------------------------------------- Charlemagne was canonized by an antipope, Paschal III, in 1165. This is, of course, not recognized by the church but is recognized by many in Germany and France and his feast is kept in Aachen on Jan 28. --------------------------------------------------------- Charlemagne, in Latin Carolus Magnus (Charles the Great) (742-814), king of the Franks (768-814) and Emperor of the Romans (800-14), who led his Frankish armies to victory over numerous other peoples and established his rule in most of western and central Europe. He was the best-known and most influential king in Europe in the Middle Ages. Early Years Charlemagne was born probably in Aachen (Aix-la-Chapelle), on April 2, 742, the son of the Frankish king Pepin the Short and the grandson of Charles Martel. In 751 Pepin dethroned the last Merovingian king and assumed the royal title himself. He was crowned by Pope Stephen II in 754. Besides anointing Pepin, Pope Stephen anointed both Charlemagne and his younger brother Carloman (751-71). Within the year Pepin invaded Italy to protect the pope against the Lombards, and in 756 he again had to rush to the pope's aid. From 760 on, Pepin's main military efforts went into the conquest of Aquitaine, the lands south of the Loire River. Charlemagne accompanied his father on most of these expeditions. Campaigns When Pepin died in 768, the rule of his realms was to be shared between his two sons. Charlemagne sought an alliance with the Lombards by marrying (770) the daughter of their king, Desiderius (reigned 757-74). In 771 Carloman died suddenly. Charlemagne then seized his territories, but Carloman's heirs took refuge at the court of Desiderius. By that time Charlemagne had repudiated his wife, and Desiderius was no longer friendly. In 772, when Pope Adrian I appealed to Charlemagne for help against Desiderius, the Frankish king invaded Italy, deposed his erstwhile father-in-law (774), and himself assumed the royal title. He then journeyed to Rome and reaffirmed his father's promise to protect papal lands. As early as 772 Charlemagne had fought onslaughts of the heathen Saxons on his lands. Buoyed by his Italian success, he now (775) embarked on a campaign to conquer and Christianize them. That campaign had some initial success but was to drag on for 30 years, in which time he conducted many other campaigns as well. He fought in Spain in 778; on the return trip his rear guard, led by Roland, was ambushed, a story immortalized in The Song of Roland. In 788 he subjected the Bavarians to his rule, and between 791 and 796 Charlemagne's armies conquered the empire of the Avars (corresponding roughly to modern Hungary and Austria). Coronation Having thus established Frankish rule over so many other peoples, Charlemagne had in fact built an empire and become an emperor. It remained only for him to add the title. On Christmas Day, in 800, Charlemagne knelt to pray in Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome. Pope Leo III then placed a crown upon his head, and the people assembled in the church acclaimed him the great, pacific emperor of the Romans. Charlemagne's biographer, Einhard, reported that the king was surprised by this coronation and that had he known it was going to happen, he would not have gone into the church that day. This report has led to much speculation by historians. Charlemagne probably desired and expected to get the imperial title and he subsequently used it. In 813 he designated his sole surviving son, Louis, as his successor, and personally crowned him. Administration Charlemagne established a more permanent royal capital than had any of his predecessors. His favorite residence from 794 on was at Aix-la-Chapelle. He had a church and a palace constructed there, based in part on architectural borrowings from Ravenna and Rome. At his court he gathered scholars from all over Europe, the most famous being the English cleric Alcuin of York, whom he placed in charge of the palace school. Administration of the empire was entrusted to some 250 royal administrators called counts. Charlemagne issued hundreds of decrees, called capitularies, dealing with a broad range of topics from judicial and military matters to monasteries, education, and the management of royal estates. The empire did not expand after 800; indeed, already in the 790s the seacoasts and river valleys experienced the first, dreaded visits of the Vikings. Charlemagne ordered a special watch against them in every harbor, but with little effect. He died before their full, destructive force was unleashed on the empire. Evaluation Charlemagne is important not only for the number of his victories and the size of his empire, but for the special blend of tradition and innovation that he represented. On the one hand, he was a traditional Germanic warrior, who spent most of his adult life fighting. In the Saxon campaigns he imposed baptism by the sword, and he retaliated against rebels with merciless slaughter. On the other hand, he placed his immense power and prestige at the service of Christian doctrine, the monastic life, the teaching of Latin, the copying of books, and the rule of law. His life, held up as a model to most later kings, thus embodied the fusion of Germanic, Roman, and Christian cultures that became the basis of European civilization. Contributed by: Lester K.

Pepin the Short (circa 714-68), mayor of the palace of Austrasia and king of the Franks (751-68), the son of the Frankish ruler Charles Martel, and the grandson of Pepin of Herstal. He was mayor of the palace during the reign of Childeric III (reigned about 743-52), the last of the Merovingian dynasty. In 751, Pepin deposed Childeric and thus became the first king of the Carolingian dynasty. He was crowned by Pope Stephen II (III) in 754. When the pope was threatened by the Lombards of northern Italy, Pepin led an army that defeated them (754-55). He ceded to the pope territory that included Ravenna and other cities. This grant, called the Donation of Pepin, laid the foundation for the Papal States. Pepin enlarged his own kingdom by capturing Aquitaine, or Aquitania, in southwestern France. He was succeeded by his sons Carloman (751-71) and Charlemagne as joint kings. [1] ================================================================= [1] "Pepin the Short," Microsoft (R) Encarta.

Charlemagne (French for Carolus Magnus, or Carlus Magnus ("Charles the Great"); German Karl der Grosse). The name given by later generations to Charles, King of the Franks, first sovereign of the Christian Empire of the West; born 2 April, 742; died at Aachen, 28 January, 814. Note, however, that the place of his birth (whether Aachen or Liège) has never been fully ascertained, while the traditional date has been set one or more years later by recent writers; if Alcuin is to be interpreted literally the year should be 745. At the time of Charles' birth, his father, Pepin the Short, Mayor of the Palace, of the line of Arnulf, was, theoretically, only the first subject of Childeric III, the last Merovinigian King of the Franks; but this modest title implied that real power, military, civil, and even ecclesiastical, of which Childeric's crown was only the symbol. It is not certain that Bertrada (or Bertha), the mother of Charlemagne, a daughter of Charibert, Count of Laon, was legally married to Pepin until some years later than either 742 or 745. Charlemagne's career led to his acknowledgment by the Holy See as its chief protector and coadjutor in temporals, by Constantinople as at least Basileus of the West. This reign, which involved to a greater degree than that of any other historical personage the organic development, and still more, the consolidation of Christian Europe, will be sketched in this article in the successive periods into which it naturally divides. The period of Charlemagne was also an epoch of reform for the Church in Gaul, and of foundation for the Church in Germany, marked, moreover, by an efflorescence of learning which fructified in the great Christian schools of the twelfth and later centuries. To the Fall of Pavia (742-774) In 752, when Charles was a child of not more than ten years, Pepin the Short had appealed to Pope Zachary to recognize his actual rule with the kingly title and dignity. The practical effect of this appeal to the Holy See was the journey of Stephen III across the Alps two years later, for the purpose of anointing with the oil of kingship not only Pepin, but also his son Charles and a younger son, Carloman. The pope then laid upon the Christian Franks a precept, under the gravest spiritual penalties, never "to choose their kings from any other family". Primogeniture did not hold in the Frankish law of succession; the monarchy was elective, though eligibility was limited to the male members of the one privileged family. Thus, then, at St. Denis on the Seine, in the Kingdom of Neustria, on the 28th of July, 754, the house of Arnulf was, by a solemn act of the supreme pontiff established upon the throne until then nominally occupied by the house of Merowig (Merovingians). Charles, anointed to the kingly office while yet a mere child, learned the rudiments of war while still many years short of manhood, accompanying his father in several campaigns. This early experience is worth noting chiefly because it developed in the boy those military virtues which, joined with his extraordinary physical strength and intense nationalism, made him a popular hero of the Franks long before he became their rightful ruler. At length, in September, 768, Pepin the Short, foreseeing his end, made a partition of his dominions between his two sons. Not many days later the old king passed away. To better comprehend the effect of the act of partition under which Charles and Carloman inherited their father's dominions, as well as the whole subsequent history of Charles' reign, it is to be observed that those dominions comprised: first, Frankland (Frankreich) proper; secondly, as many as seven more or less self-governing dependencies, peopled by races of various origins and obeying various codes of law. Of these two divisions, the former extended, roughly speaking, from the boundaries of Thuringia, on the east, to what is now the Belgian and Norman coastline, on the west; it bordered to the north on Saxony, and included both banks of the Rhine from Cologne (the ancient Colonia Agrippina) to the North Sea; its southern neighbours were the Bavarians, the Alemanni, and the Burgundians. The dependent states were: the fundamentally Gaulish Neustria (including within its borders Paris), which was, nevertheless, well leavened with a dominant Frankish element; to the southwest of Neustria, Brittany, formerly Armorica, with a British and Gallo-Roman population; to the south of Neustria the Duchy of Aquitaine, lying, for the most part, between the Loire and the Garonne, with a decidedly Gallo-Roman population; and east of Aquitaine, along the valley of the Rhone, the Burgundians, a people of much the same mixed origin as those of Aquitaine, though with a large infusion of Teutonic blood. These States, with perhaps the exception of Brittany, recognized the Theodosian Code as their law. The German dependencies of the Frankish kingdom were Thuringia, in the valley of the Main, Bavaria, and Alemannia (corresponding to what was later known as Swabia). These last, at the time of Pepin's death, had but recently been won to Christianity, mainly through the preaching of St. Boniface. The share which fell to Charles consisted of all Austrasia (the original Frankland), most of Neustria, and all of Aquitaine except the southeast corner. In this way the possessions of the elder brother surrounded the younger on two sides, but on the other hand the distribution of mm under their respective rules was such as to preclude any risk of discord arising out of the national sentiments of their various subjects. In spite of this provident arrangement, Carloman contrived to quarrel with his brother. Hunald, formerly Duke of Aquitaine, vanquished by Pepin the Short, broke from the cloister, where he had lived as a monk for twenty years, and stirred up a revolt in the western part of the duchy. By Frankish custom Carloman should have aided Charles; the younger brother himself held part of Aquitaine; but he pretended that, as his dominion were unaffected by this revolt, it was no business of his. Hunald, however, was vanquished by Charles single-handed; he was betrayed by a nephew with whom he had sought refuge, was sent to Rome to answer for the violation of his monastic vows, and at last, after once more breaking cloister, was stoned to death by the Lombards of Pavia. For Charles the true importance of this Aquitanian episode was in its manifestation his brother's unkindly feeling in his regard, and against this danger he lost no time in taking precautions, chiefly by winning over to himself the friends whom he judged likely to be most valuable; first and foremost of these was his mother, Bertha, who had striven both earnestly and prudently to make peace between her sons, but who, when it became necessary to take sides with one or the other could not hesitate in her devotion to the elder. Charles was an affectionate son; it also appears that, in general, he was helped to power by his extraordinary gift of personal attractiveness. Carloman died soon after this (4 December, 771), and a certain letter from "the Monk Cathwulph", quoted by Bouquet (Recueil. hist., V, 634), in enumerating the special blessings for which the king was in duty bound to be grateful, says, Third . . . God has preserved you from the wiles of your brother . . . . Fifth, and not the least, that God has removed your brother from this earthly kingdom. Carloman may not have been quite so malignant as the enthusiastic partisans of Charles made him out, but the division of Pepin's dominions was in itself an impediment to the growth of a strong Frankish realm such as Charles needed for the unification of the Christian Continent. Although Carloman had left two sons by his wife, Gerberga, the Frankish law of inheritance gave no preference to sons as against brother; left to their own choice, the Frankish lieges, whether from love of Charles or for the fear which his name already inspired, gladly accepted him for their king. Gerberga and her children fled to the Lombard court of Pavia. In the mean while complications had arisen in Charles' foreign policy which made his newly established supremacy at home doubly opportune. From his father Charles had inherited the title "Patricius Romanus" which carried with it a special obligation to protect the temporal rights of the Holy See. The nearest and most menacing neighbour of St. Peter's Patrimony was Desidarius (Didier), King of the Lombards, and it was with this potentate that the dowager Bertha had arranged a matrimonial alliance for her elder son. The pope had solid temporal reasons for objecting to this arrangement. Moreover, Charles was already, in foro conscientiae, if not in Frankish law, wedded to Himiltrude. In defiance of the pope's protest (PL 98:250), Charles married Desiderata, daughter of Desiderius (770), three years later he repudiated her and married Hildegarde, the beautiful Swabian. Naturally, Desiderius was furious at this insult, and the dominions of the Holy See bore the first brunt of his wrath. But Charles had to defend his own borders against the heathen as well as to protect Rome against the Lombard. To the north of Austrasia lay Frisia, which seems to have been in some equivocal way a dependency, and to the east of Frisia, from the left bank of the Ems (about the present Holland-Westphalia frontier), across the valley of the Weser and Aller, and still eastward to the left bank of the Elbe, extended the country of the Saxons, who in no fashion whatever acknowledged any allegiance to the Frankish kings. In 772 these Saxons were a horde of aggressive pagans offering to Christian missionaries no hope but that of martyrdom; bound together, normally, by no political organization, and constantly engaged in predatory incursions into the lands of the Franks. Their language seems to have been very like that spoken by the Egberts and Ethelreds of Britain, but the work of their Christian cousin, St. Boniface, had not affected them as yet; they worshipped the gods of Walhalla, united in solemn sacrifice -- sometimes human -- to Irminsul (Igdrasail), the sacred tree which stood at Eresburg, and were still slaying Christian missionaries when their kinsmen in Britain were holding church synods and building cathedrals. Charles could brook neither their predatory habits nor their heathenish intolerance; it was impossible, moreover, to make permanent peace with them while they followed the old Teutonic life of free village communities. He made his first expedition into their country in July, 772, took Eresburg by storm, and burned Irminsul. It was in January of this same year that Pope Stephen III died, and Adrian I, an opponent of Desiderius, was elected. The new pope was almost immediately assailed by the Lombard king, who seized three minor cities of the Patrimony of St. Peter, threatened Ravenna itself, and set about organizing a plot within the Curia. Paul Afiarta, the papal chamberlain, detected acting as the Lombard's secret agent, was seized and put to death. The Lombard army advanced against Rome, but quailed before the spiritual weapons of the Church, while Adrian sent a legate into Gaul to claim the aid of of the Patrician. Thus it was that Charles, resting at Thionville after his Saxon campaign, was urgently reminded of the rough work that awaited his hand south of the Alps. Desiderius' embassy reached him soon after Adrian's. He did not take it for granted that the right was all upon Adrian's side; besides, he may have seen here an opportunity make some amends for his repudiation of the Lombard princess. Before taking up arms for the Holy See, therefore, he sent commissioners into Italy to make enquiries and when Desiderius pretended that the seizure of the papal cities was in effect only the legal foreclosure of a mortgage, Charles promptly offered to redeem them by a money payment. But Desiderius refused the money, and as Charles' commissioners reported in favour of Adrian, the only course left was war. In the spring of 773 Charles summoned the whole military strength of the Franks for a great invasion of Lombardy. He was slow to strike, but he meant to strike hard. Data for any approximate estimate of his numerical strength are lacking, but it is certain that the army, in order to make the descent more swiftly, crossed the Alps by two passes: Mont Cenis and the Great St. Bernard. Einhard, who accompanied the king over Mont Cenis (the St. Bernard column was led by Duke Bernhard), speaks feelingly of the marvels and perils of the passage. The invaders found Desiderius waiting for them, entrenched at Susa; they turned his flank and put the Lombard army to utter rout. Leaving all the cities of the plains to their fate, Desiderius rallied part of his forces in Pavia, his walled capital, while his son Adalghis, with the rest, occupied Verona. Charles, having been joined by Duke Bernhard, took the forsaken cities on his way and then completely invested Pavia (September, 773), whence Otger, the faithful attendant of Gerberga, could look with trembling upon the array of his countrymen. Soon after Christmas Charles withdrew from the siege a portion of the army which he employed in the capture of Verona. Here he found Gerberga and her children; as to what became of them, history is silent; they probably entered the cloister. What history does record with vivid eloquence is the first visit of Charles to the Eternal City. There everything was done to give his entry as much as possible the air of a triumph in ancient Rome. The judges met him thirty miles from the city; the militia laid at the feet of their great patrician the banner of Rome and hailed him as their imperator. Charles himself forgot pagan Rome and prostrated himself to kiss the threshold of the Apostles, and then spent seven days in conference with the successor of Peter. It was then that he undoubtedly formed many great designs for the glory of God and the exaltation of Holy Church, which, in spite of human weaknesses and, still more, ignorance, he afterwards did his best to realize. His coronation as the successor of Constantine did not take place until twenty-six years later, but his consecration as first champion of the Catholic Church took place at Easter, 774. Soon after this (June, 774) Pavia fell, Desiderius was banished, Adalghis became a fugitive at the Byzantine court, and Charles, assuming the crown of Lombardy, renewed to Adrian the donation of of territory made by Pepin the Short after his defeat of Aistulph. (This donation is now generally admitted, as well as the original gift of Pepin at Kiersy in 752. The so-called "Privilegium Hadriani pro Carolo" granting him full right to nominate the pope and to invest all bishops is a forgery.) To the Baptism of Wittekind (774-785) The next twenty years of Charles' life may be considered as one long warfare. They are filled with an astounding series of rapid marches from end to end of a continent intersected by mountains, morasses, and forests, and scantily provided with roads. It would seem that the key to his long series of victories, won almost as much by moral ascendancy as by physical or mental superiority, is to be found in the inspiration communicated to his Frankish champion by Pope Adrian I. Weiss (Weltgesch., 11, 549) enumerates fifty-three distinct campaigns of Charlemagne; of these it is possible to point to only twelve or fourteen which were not undertaken principally or entirely in execution of his mission as the soldier and protector of the Church. In his eighteen campaigns against the Saxons Charles was more or less actuated by the desire to extinguish what he and his people regarded as a form of devil-worship, no less odious to them than the fetishism of Central Africa is to us. Last Steps to the Imperial Throne (785-800) The summer of 783 began a new period in the life of Charles, in which signs begin to appear of his less amiable traits. It was in this year, signalized, according to the chroniclers, by unexampled heat and a pestilence, that the two queens died, Bertha, the king's mother, and Hildegarde, his second (or his third) wife. Both of these women, the former in particular, had exercised over him a strong influence for good. Within a few months the king married Fastrada, daughter of an Austrasian count. The succeeding years were, comparatively speaking, years of harvest after the stupendous period of ploughing and sowing that had gone before; and Charles' nature was of a type that appears to best advantage in storm and stress. What was to be the Western Empire of the Middle Ages was already hewn out in the rough when Wittekind received baptism. From that date until the coronation of Charles at Rome, in 800, his military work was chiefly in suppressing risings of the newly conquered or quelling the discontents of jealous subject princes. Thrice in these fifteen years did the Saxons rise, only to be defeated. Tassilo, Duke of Bavaria, had been a more or less rebellious vassal ever since the beginning of his reign, and Charles now made use of the pope's influence, exercised through the powerful bishops of Freising, Salzburg, and Regensburg (Ratisbon), to bring him to terms. In 786 a Thuringian revolt was quelled by the timely death, blinding, and banishment of its leaders. Next year the Lombard prince, Areghis, having fortified himself at Salerno, had actually been crowned King of the Lombards when Charles descended upon him at Beneventum, received his submission, and took his son Grimwald as a hostage, after which, finding that Tassilo had been secretly associated with the conspiracy of the Lombards, he invaded Bavaria from three sides with three armies drawn from at least five nationalities. Once more the influence of the Holy See settled the Bavarian question in Charles' favour; Adrian threatened Tassilo with excommunication if he persisted in rebellion, and as the Duke's own subjects refused to follow him to the field, he personally made submission, did homage, and in return received from Charles a new lease of his duchy (October, 787). During this period the national discontent with Fastrada culminated in a plot in which Pepin the Hunchback, Charles' son by Himiltrude, was implicated, and though his life was spared through his father's intercession, Pepin spent what remained of his days in a monastery. Another son of Charles (Carloman, afterwards called Pepin, and crowned King of Lombardy at Rome in 781, on the occasion of an Easter visit by the king, at which time also his brother Louis was crowned King of Aquitaine) served his father in dealing with the Avars, a pagan danger on the frontier, compared with which the invasion of Septimania by the Saracens (793) was but an insignificant incident of border warfare. These Avars, probably of Turanian blood, occupied the territories north of the Save and west of the Theiss. Tassilo had invited their assistance against his overlord; and after the Duke's final submission Charles invaded their country and conquered it as far as the Raab (791). By the capture of the famous "Ring" of the Avars, with its nine concentric circles, Charles came into possession of vast quantities of gold and silver, parts of the plunder which these barbarians had been accumulating for two centuries. In this campaign King Pepin of Lombardy cooperated with his father, with forces drawn from Italy; the later stages of this war (which may be considered the last of Charles' great wars) were left in the hands of the younger king. The last stages by which the story of Charles' career is brought to its climax touch upon the exclusive spiritual domain of the Church. He had never ceased to interest himself in the deliberations of synods, and this interest extended (an example that wrought fatal results in after ages) to the discussion of questions which would now be regarded as purely dogmatic. Charles interfered in the dispute about the Adoptionist heresy (see ADOPTIONISM; ALCUIN; FRANKFORT, COUNCIL OF). His interference was less pleasing to Adrian in the matter of Iconoclasm, a heresy with which the Empress-mother Irene and Tarasius, Patriarch of Constantinople, had dealt in the second Council of Nicaea. The Synod of Frankfort, wrongly informed, but inspired by Charles, took upon itself to condemn the aforesaid Council, although the latter had the sanction of the Holy See (see CAROLINE BOOKS). In the year 797 the Eastern Emperor Constantine VI, with whom his mother Irene had for some time been at variance, was by her dethroned, imprisoned, and blinded. It is significant of Charles' position as de facto Emperor of the West that Irene sent envoys to Aachen to lay before Charles her side of this horrible story. It is also to be noted that the popular impression that Constantine had been put to death, and the aversion to committing the imperial sceptre to a woman's hand, also bore upon what followed. Lastly, it was to Charles alone that the Christians of the East were now crying out for succour against the threatening advance of the Moslem Caliph Haroun al Raschid. In 795 Adrian I died (25 Dec.), deeply regretted by Charles, who held this pope in great esteem and caused a Latin metrical epitaph to be prepared for the papal tomb. In 787 Charles had visited Rome for the third time in the interest of the pope and his secure possession of the Patrimony of Peter. Leo III, the immediate successor of Adrian I, notified Charles of his election (26 December, 795) to the Holy See. The king sent in return rich presents by Abbot Angilbert, whom he commissioned to deal with the pope in all manners pertaining to the royal office of Roman Patrician. While this letter is respectful and even affectionate, it also exhibits Charles' concept of the coordination of the spiritual and temporal powers, nor does he hesitate to remind the Pope of his grave spiritual obligations. The new pope, a Roman, had bitter enemies in the Eternal City, who spread the most damaging reports of his previous life. At length (25 April, 799) he was waylaid, and left unconscious. After escaping to St. Peter's he was rescued by two of the king's missi, who came with a considerable force. The Duke of Spoleto sheltered the fugitive pope, who went later to Paderborn, where the king's camp then was. Charles received the Vicar of Christ with all due reverence. Leo was sent back to Rome escorted by royal missi; the insurgents, thoroughly frightened and unable to convince Charles of the pope's iniquity, surrendered, and the missi sent Paschalis and Campulus, nephews of Adrian I and ringleaders against Pope Leo, to the king, to be dealt with at the royal pleasure. Charles was in no hurry to take final action in this matter. He settled various affairs connected with the frontier beyond the Elbe, with the protection of the Balearic Isles against the Saracens, and of Northern Gaul against Scandinavian sea-rovers, spent most of the winter at Aachen, and was at St. Riquier for Easter. About this time, too, he was occupied at the deathbed of Liutgarde, the queen whom he had married on the death of Fastrada (794). At Tours he conferred with Alcuin, then summoned the host of the Franks to meet at Mainz and announced to them his intention of again proceeding to Rome. Entering Italy by the Brenner Pass, he travelled by way of Ancona and Perugia to Nomentum, where Pope Leo met him and the two entered Rome together. A synod was held and the charges against Leo pronounced false. On this occasion the Frankish bishops declared themselves unauthorized to pass judgment on the Apostolic See. Of his own free will Leo, under oath, declared publicly in St. Peter's that he was innocent of the charges brought against him. Leo requested that his accusers, now themselves condemned to death, should be punished only with banishment.

In 732 Charles Martel and his barbarian Frankish army fought a battle near Tours, France, that affected the history of Europe. Their foes were inspired Muslim, or Saracen, troops who were bent on world conquest for the religion of Islam. In a hundred years the Saracens had established a vast empire that stretched from Persia (now Iran) westward across northern Africa. They had gained a foothold in Europe by taking Spain. As they advanced into the region that is now France, the fate of Christian Europe hung in the balance. Charles met the Muslim forces between Poitiers and Tours. In a fierce and bloody battle the Muslims were defeated and their leader killed. In later campaigns Charles drove them back into Spain. His vigorous blows earned him the nickname Martel, from a French word meaning "hammer." This forceful leader never became king of the Franks. As mayor of the palace under ineffectual Merovingian kings, however, he was the true ruler. He increased the influence of the Frankish kingdom in wars against the Alemanni, Bavarians, and Saxons. These and other Germanic tribes had overrun Europe when the Roman Empire crumbled. Only the Franks established a permanent kingdom. (See also Middle Ages; France, "History.") Charles aided St. Boniface and other missionaries in spreading Christianity and civilization among the barbarians (see Boniface). He strengthened the hold of the kingdom over the powerful nobles and bishops who sought to set up independent rule in their districts. He distributed land to his nobles to gain their loyalty and service as warriors. Charles prepared the way for his son, Pepin the Short, to gain the Frankish throne. Together they laid the foundation for the reign of Pepin's son Charlemagne. (See also Charlemagne; Holy Roman Empire.) --------------------------------------------------------- Excerpted from Compton's Interactive Encyclopedia Copyright c 1993, 1994 Compton's NewMedia, Inc. --------------------------------------------------------- Charles Martel (circa 688-741), Carolingian ruler of the Frankish kingdom of Austrasia (in present northeastern France and southwestern Germany). Charles, whose surname means "the hammer," was the son of Pepin of Herstal and the grandfather of Charlemagne. Pepin was mayor of the palace under the last kings of the Merovingian dynasty. When he died in 714, Charles, an illegitimate son, was imprisoned by his father's widow, but he escaped in 715 and was proclaimed mayor of the palace by the Austrasians. A war between Austrasia and the Frankish kingdom of Neustria (now part of France) followed, and at the end of it Charles became the undisputed ruler of all the Franks. Although he was engaged in wars against the Alamanni, Bavarians, and Saxons, his greatest achievements were against the Muslims from Spain, who invaded France in 732. Charles defeated them near Poitiers in a great battle in which the Muslim leader, Abd-ar-Rahman, the emir of Spain, was killed. The progress of Islam, which had filled all Christendom with alarm, was thus checked for a time. Charles drove the Muslims out of the Rhone valley in 739, when they had again advanced into France as far as Lyon, leaving them nothing of their possessions north of the Pyrenees beyond the Aude River. Charles died in Quierzy, on the Oise River, leaving the kingdom divided between his two sons, Carloman (circa 715-54) and Pepin the Short. "Charles Martel," Microsoft (R) Encarta.

Notes for Pepin The Short: Mayor of the Palace, 13 King of the Franks, annointed at Soissons by Archbishop Boniface. Pepin the Short Mayor of the Palace of the whole Frankish kingdom (both Austrasia and Neustria), and later King of the Franks; born 714; died at St. Denis, 24 September, 768. He was the son of Charles Martel. Pepin and his older brother Carloman were taught by the monks of St. Denis, and the impressions received during their monastic education had a controlling influence upon the relations of both princes to the Church. When the father died in 741 the two brothers began to reign jointly but not without strong opposition, for Griffon, the son of Charles Martel and the Bavarian Sonnichilde, demanded a share in the government. Moreover, the Duke of the Aquitanians and the Duke of the Alamannians thought this a favourable opportunity to throw off the Frankish supremacy. The young kings were repeatedly involved in war, but all their opponents, including the Bavarians and Saxons, were defeated and the unity of the kingdom re-established. As early as 741 Carloman had entered upon his epoch-making relations with St. Boniface, to whom was now opened a new field of labour, the reformation of the Frankish Church. On 21 April, 742, Boniface was present at a Frankish synod presided over by Carloman at which important reforms were decreed. As in the Frankish realm the unity of the kingdom was essentially connected with the person of the king, Carloman to secure this unity raised the Merovingian Childeric to the throne (743). In 747 he resolved to enter a monastery. The danger, which up to this time had threatened the unity of the kingdom from the division of power between the two brothers, was removed, and at the same time the way was prepared for the deposing of the last Merovingian and for the crowning of Pepin. The latter put down the renewed revolt led by his step-brother Griffon, and succeeded in completely restoring the boundaries of the kingdom. Pepin now addressed to the Pope the suggestive question: In regard to the kings o the Franks who no longer possess the royal power, is this state of things proper? Hard pressed by the Lombards, Pope Zacharias welcomed this advance of the Franks which aimed at ending an intolerable condition of things, and at laying the constitutional foundations for the exercise of the royal power. The pope replied that such a state of things was not proper. After this decision the place Pepin desired to occupy was declared vacant. The crown was given him not by the pope but by the Franks. According to the ancient custom Pepin was then elected king and soon after this was anointed by Boniface. This consecration of the new kingdom by the head of the Church was intended to remove any doubt as to its legitimacy. On the contrary, the consciousness of having saved the Christian world from the Saracens produced, among the Franks, the feeling that their kingdom owed its authority directly to God. Still this external cooperation of the pope in the transfer of the kingdom to the Carolingians would necessarily enhance the importance of the Church. The relations between the two controlling powers of Christendom now rapidly developed. It was soon evident to what extent the alliance between Church and State was to check the decline of ecclesiastical and civil life; it made possible the conversion of the still heathen German tribes, and when that was accomplished provided an opportunity for both Church and State to recruit strength and to grow. Ecclesiastical, political, and economic developments had made the popes lords of the ducatus Romanus. They laid before Pepin their claims to the central provinces of Italy, which had belonged to them before Liutprand's conquest. When Stephen II had a conference with King Pepin at Ponthion in January, 754, the pope implored his assistance against his oppressor the Lombard King Aistulf, and begged for the same protection for the prerogatives of St. Peter which the Byzantine exarchs had extended to them, to which the king agreed, and in the charter establishing the States of the Church, soon after given at Quiercy, he promised to restore these prerogatives. The Frankish king received the title of the former representative of the Byzantine Empire in Italy, i.e. "Patricius", and was also assigned the duty of protecting the privileges of the Holy See. When Stephen II performed the ceremony of anointing Pepin and his son at St. Denis, it was St. Peter who was regarded as the mystical giver of the secular power, but the emphasis thus laid upon the religious character of political law left vague the legal relations between pope and king. After the acknowledgment of his territorial claims the pope was in reality a ruling sovereign, but he had placed himself under the protection of the Frankish ruler and had sworn that he and his people would be true to the king. Thus his sovereignty was limited from the very start as regards what was external to his domain. The connection between Rome and the Frankish kingdom involved Pepin during the years 754-56 in war with the Lombard King Aistulf, who was forced to return to the Church the territory he had illegally held. Pepin's commanding position in the world of his time was permanently secured when he took Septimania from the Arabs. Another particularly important act was his renewed overthrow of the rebellion in Aquitaine which was once more made a part of the kingdom. He was not so fortunate in his campaigns against the Saxons and Bavarians. He could do no more than repeatedly attempt to protect the boundaries of the kingdom against the incessantly restless Saxons. Bavaria remained an entirely independent State and advanced in civilization under Duke Tassilo. Pepin's activity in war was accompanied by a widely extended activity in the internal affairs of the Frankish kingdom, his main object being the reform of legislation and internal affairs, especially of ecclesiastical conditions. He continued the ecclesiastical reforms commenced by St. Boniface. In doing this Pepin demanded an unlimited authority over the Church. He himself wished to be the leader of the reforms. However, although St. Boniface changed nothing by his reformatory labours in the ecclesiastico-political relations that had developed in the Frankish kingdom upon the basis of the Germanic conception of the State, nevertheless he had placed the purified and united Frankish Church more definitely under the control of the papal see than had hitherto been the case. From the time of St. Boniface the Church was more generally acknowledged by the Franks to be the mystical power appointed by God. When he deposed the last of the Merovingians Pepin was also obliged to acknowledge the increased authority of the Church by calling upon it for moral support. Consequently the ecclesiastical supremacy of the Frankish king over the Church of his country remained externally undiminished. Nevertheless by his life-work Pepin had powerfully aided the authority of the Church and with it the conception of ecclesiastical unity. He was buried at St. Denis where he died. He preserved the empire created by Clovis from the destruction that menaced it; he was able to overcome the great danger arising from social conditions that threatened the Frankish kingdom, by opposing to the unruly lay nobility the ecclesiastical aristocracy that had been strengthened by the general reform. When he died the means had been created by which his greater son could solve the problems of the empire. Pepin's policy marked out the tasks to which Charlemagne devoted himself: quieting the Saxons, the subjection of the duchies and lastly, the regulation of the ecclesiastical question and with it that of Italy.

Notes for Charles Martel: Mayor of the Palace in Austrasia, Victor over the Saracens at Tours. Charles Martel Born about 688; died at Quierzy on the Oise, 21 October, 741. He was the natural son of Pepin of Herstal and a woman named Alpaïde or Chalpaïde. Pepin, who in 714, had outlived his two legitimate sons, Drogon and Grimoald, and to Theodoald, a son of the latter and then only six years old, fell the burdensome inheritance of the French monarchy. Charles, who was then twenty-six, was not excluded from the succession on account of his birth, Theodoald himself being the son of a concubine, but through the influence of Plectrude, Theodoald's grandmother, who wished the power invested in her own descendants exclusively. To prevent any opposition from Charles she had him cast into prison and, having established herself at Cologne, assumed the guardianship of her grandson. But the different nations whom the strong hand of Pepin of Herstal had held in subjections, shook off the yoke of oppression as soon as they saw that it was with a woman they had to deal. Neustria gave the signal for revolt (715), Theodoald was beaten in the forest of Cuise and, led by Raginfrid, mayor of the palace, the enemy advanced as far as the Meuse. The Frisians flew to arms and, headed by their duke, Ratbod, destroyed the Christian mission and entered into a confederacy with the Neustrians. The Saxons came and devastated the country of the Hattuarians, and even in Austrasia there was a certain faction that chafed under the government of a woman and child. At this juncture Charles escaped from prison and put himself at the head of the national party of Austrasia. At first he was unfortunate. He was defeated by Ratbod near Cologne in 716, and the Neustrians forced Plectrude to acknowledge as king Chilperic, the son of Childeric II, having taken this Merovingian from the seclusion of the cloister, where he lived the name of Daniel. But Charles was quick to take revenge. He surprised and conquered the Neustrians at Amblève near Malmédy (716), defeated them a second time at Vincy near Cambrai (21 March, 717), and pursued them as far as Paris. Then retracing his steps, he came to Cologne and compelled Plectrude to surrender her power and turn over to him the wealth of his father, Pepin. In order to give his recently acquired authority a semblance of legitimacy, he proclaimed the Merovingian Clotaire IV King of Austrasia, reserving for himself the title of Mayor of the Palace. It was about this time that Charles banished Rigobert, the Bishop of Reims, who had opposed him, appointing in his stead the warlike and unpriestly Milon, who was already Archbishop of Trier. The ensuing years were full of strife. Eager to chastise the Saxons who had invaded Austrasia, Charles in the year 718 laid waste their country to the banks of the Weser. In 719 Ratbod died, and Charles seized Western Friesland without any great resistance on the part of the Frisians, who had taken possession of it on the death of Pepin. The Neustrians, always a menace, had joined forces with the people of Aquitaine, but Charles hacked their army to pieces at Soissons. After this defeat they realized the necessity of surrendering, and the death of King Clotaire IV, whom Charles had placed on the throne but two years previously, facilitated reconciliation of the two great fractions of the Frankish Empire. Charles acknowledged Chilperic as head of the entire monarchy, while on their side, the Neustrians and Aquitainians endorsed the authority of Charles; but, when Chilperic died, the following year (720) Charles appointed as his successor the son of Dagobert III, Thierry IV, who was still a minor, and who occupied the throne from 720 to 737. A second expedition against the Saxons in 720 and the definitive submission of Raginfrid, who had been left the county of Angers (724), re-established the Frankish Monarchy as it had been under Pepin of Herstal, and closed the first series of Charles Martel's struggles. The next six years were devoted almost exclusively to the confirming of the Frankish authority over the dependent Germanic tribes. In 725 and 728 Charles went into Bavaria, where the Agilolfing dukes had gradually rendered themselves independent, and re-established Frankish suzerainty. He also brought thence the Princess Suanehilde, who seems to have become his mistress. In 730 he marched against Lantfrid, Duke of the Alemanna, whom he likewise brought into subjection, and thus Southern Germany once more became part of the Frankish Empire, as had Northern Germany during the first years of the reign. But at the extremity of the empire a dreadful storm was gathering. For several years the Moslems of Spain had been threatening Gaul. Banished thence in 721 by Duke Eudes, they had returned in 725 and penetrated as far as Burgundy, where they had destroyed Autun. Duke Eudes, unable to resist them, at length contented himself by negotiating with them, and to Othmar, one of their chiefs, he gave the hand of his daughter But this compromising alliance brought him into disfavour with Charles, who defeated him in 731, and the death of Othmar that same year again left Eudes at the mercy of Moslem enterprise. In 732 Abd-er-Rahman, Governor of Spain, crossed the Pyrenees at the head of an immense army, overcame Duke Eudes, and advanced as far as the Loire, pillaging and burning as he went. In October, 732, Charles met Abd-er-Rahman outside of Tours and defeated and slew him in a battle (the Battle of Poitiers) which must ever remain one of the great events in the history of the world, as upon its issue depended whether Christian Civilization should continue or Islam prevail throughout Europe. It was this battle, it is said, that gave Charles his name, Martel (Tudites) "The Hammer", because of the merciless way in which he smote the enemy. The remainder of Charles Martel's reign was an uninterrupted series of triumphant combats. In 733-734 he suppressed the rebellion instigated by the Frisian duke, Bobo, who was slain in battle, and definitively subdued Friesland, which finally adopted Christianity. In 735, after the death of Eudes, Charles entered Aquitaine, quelled the revolt of Hatto and Hunold, sons of the deceased duke, and left the duchy to Hunold, to be held in fief (736). He then banished the Moslems from Arles and Avignon, defeated their army on the River Berre near Narbonne, and in 739 checked an uprising in Provence, the rebels being under the leadership of Maurontus. So great was Charles' power during the last years of his reign that he did not take the trouble to appoint a successor to King Thierry IV, who died in 737, but assumed full authority himself, governing without legal right. About a year before Charles died, Pope Gregory III, threatened by Luitprand, King of Lombardy, asked his help. Now Charles was Luitprand's ally because the latter had promised to assist him in the late war against the Moslems of Provence, and, moreover, the Frankish king may have already suffered from the malady that was to carry him off—two reasons that are surely sufficient to account for the fact that the pope's envoys departed without gaining the object of their errand. However, it would seem that, according to the terms of a public act published by Charlemagne, Charles had, at least in principle, agreed to defend the Roman Church, and death alone must have prevented him from fulfilling this agreement. The reign, which in the beginning was so full of bloody conflicts and later of such incessant strife, would have been an impossibility had not Charles procured means sufficient to attract and compensate his partisans. For this purpose he conceived the idea of giving them the usufruct of a great many ecclesiastical lands, and this spoliation is what is referred to as the secularization by Charles Martel. It was an expedient that could be excused without, however, being justified, and it was pardoned to a certain extent by the amnesty granted at the Council of Lestines, held under the sons of Charles Martel in 743. It must also be remembered that the Church remained the legal owner of the lands thus alienated. This spoliation and the conferring of the principal ecclesiastical dignities upon those who were either totally unworthy or else had naught but their military qualifications to recommend them—as, for instance, the assignment of the episcopal Sees of Reims of Reims and Trier to Milon—were not calculated to endear Charles Martel to the clergy of his time. Therefore, in the ninth century Hincmar of Reims related the story of the vision with which St. Eucher was said to have been favoured and which showed Charles in hell, to which he had been condemned for robbing the Church of its property. But notwithstanding the almost exclusively warlike character of his reign, Charles Martel was not indifferent to the superior interests of civilization and Christianity. Like Napoleon after the French Revolution, upon emerging from the years 715-719, Charles, who had not only tolerated but perpetrated many an act of violence against the Church, set about the establishment of social order and endeavoured to restore the rights of the Catholic hierarchy. This explains the protection which in 723 he accorded St. Boniface (Winfrid), the great apostle of Germany, a protection all the more salutary as the saint himself explained to his old friend, Daniel of Winchester, that without it he could neither administer his church, defend his clergy, nor prevent idolatry. Hence Charles Martel shares, to a certain degree, the glory and merit of Boniface's great work of civilization. He died after having divided the Frankish Empire, as a patrimony between his two sons, Carloman and Pepin. [1] Medieval Sourcebook: Pope Gregory II - Appeal to Charles Martel, 739 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ For some time after the collapse of the Roman Empire in the West, the papacy remained within the Byzantine political sphere. Two developments changed this. The first was the long Iconclastic controversy in the East, in which the popes sided with the iconodules. The other was the inability of the Byzantines to protect the popes. As a result, the popes tunred increasingly in the 8th century towards the Franks and made a series of alliances, in particular, with the Carolingian majors of the palace. Here is a letter of 739 in which Pope Gregory III (731 - 741) appeals to the Frankish ruler Charles Martel for help against the Lombards in Italy. Pope Gregory to His Most Excellent Son, Karl, Sub-King In our great affliction we have thought it necessary to write to you a second time, believing that you are a loving son of St. Peter, the prince of apostles, and of ourselves, and that out of reverence for him you would obey our commands to defend the church of God and his chosen people. We can now no longer endure the persecution of the Lombards, for they have taken from St. Peter all his possessions, even those which were given him by you and your fathers. These Lombards hate and oppress us because we sought protection from you; for the same reason also the church of St. Peter is despoiled and desolated by them. But we have intrusted a more complete account of all our woes to your faithful subject, our present messenger, and he will relate them to you. You, oh son, will receive favor from the same prince of apostles here and in the future life in the presence of God, according as you render speedy aid to his church and to us, that all peoples may recognize the faith and love and singleness of purpose which you display in defending St. Peter and us and his chosen people. For by doing this you will attain lasting fame on earth and eternal life in heaven. [2] ============================================================= [1] GODEFROID KURTH Transcribed by Michael C.

Pepin's descendants remained dominant in Austrasia, and in the following century displaced the Merovingians as the royal house of the Franks. "Pepin the Elder," Microsoft (R) Encarta.

Notes for Bishop Of Metz St. Arnulf: St. Arnulf of Metz Statesman, bishop under the Merovingians, born c. 580; died c. 640. His parents belonged to a distinguished Frankish family, and lived in Austrasia, the eastern section of the kingdom founded by Clovis. In the school in which he was placed during his boyhood he excelled through his talent and his good behaviour. According to the custom of the age, he was sent in due time to the court of Theodebert II, King of Austrasia (595-612), to be initiated in the various branches of the government. Under the guidance of Gundulf, the Mayor of the Palace, he soon became so proficient that he was placed on the regular list of royal officers, and among the first of the kings ministers. He distinguished himself both as a military commander and in the civil administration; at one time he had under his care six distinct provinces. In due course Arnulf was married to a Frankish woman of noble lineage, by whom he had two sons, Anseghisel and Clodulf. While Arnulf was enjoying worldly emoluments and honours he did not forget higher and spiritual things. His thoughts dwelled often on monasteries, and with his friend Romaricus, likewise an officer of the court, he planned to make a pilgrimage to the Abbey of Lérins, evidently for the purpose of devoting his life to God. But in the meantime the Episcopal See of Metz became vacant. Arnulf was universally designated as a worthy candidate for the office, and he was consecrated bishop of that see about 611. In his new position he set the example of a virtuous life to his subjects, and attended to matters of ecclesiastical government. In 625 he took part in a council held by the Frankish bishops at Reims. With all this Arnulf retained his station at the court of the king, and took a prominent part in the national life of his people. In 613, after the death of Theodebert, he, with Pepin of Landen and other nobles, called to Austrasia Clothaire II, King of Neustria. When, in 625, the realm of Austrasia was entrusted to the kings son Dagobert, Arnulf became not only the tutor, but also the chief minister, of the young king. At the time of the estrangement between the two kings, and 625, Arnulf with other bishops and nobles tried to effect a reconciliation. But Arnulf dreaded the responsibilities of the episcopal office and grew weary of court life. About the year 626 he obtained the appointment of a successor to the Episcopal See of Metz; he himself and his friend Romaricus withdrew to a solitary place in the mountains of the Vosges. There he lived in communion with God until his death. His remains, interred by Romaricus, were transferred about a year afterwards, by Bishop Goeric, to the basilica of the Holy Apostles in Metz. Of the two sons of Arnulf, Clodulf became his third successor in the See of Metz. Anseghisel remained in the service of the State; from his union with Begga, a daughter of Pepin of Landen, was born Pepin of Heristal, the founder of the Carlovingian dynasty. In this manner Arnulf was the ancestor of the mighty rulers of that house. The life or Arnulf exhibits to a certain extent the episcopal office and career in the Merovingian State. The bishops were much considered at court; their advice was listened to; they took part in the dispensation of justice by the courts; they had a voice in the appointment of royal officers; they were often used as the king's ambassadors, and held high administrative positions. For the people under their care, they were the protectors of their rights, their spokesmen before the king and the link uniting royalty with its subjects. The opportunities for good were thus unlimited; and Arnulf used them to good advantage. [1] ============================================================== [1] FRANCIS J. SCHAEFER Transcribed by Patrick Tobin, The Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume I Copyright © 1907 by Robert Appleton Company Online Edition Copyright © 1999 by Kevin Knight Nihil Obstat, March 1, 1907. Remy Lafort, S.T.D., Censor Imprimatur. +John Cardinal Farley, Archbishop of New York Notes for Dode [Ode] De Heristal: She became a Nun at Treves. Her husband Arnulf who was considered to be a good warrior had wanted to become a Monk at Lérins. The Monastery of Lérins, was founded by St. Honoratus c. 410 on a small island off the coast of Cannes, an island that now bears his name. Lérins was one of the first monasteries in Europe and was a center of culture and education in the Middle Ages. Arnulf however deferred his plan to assist in the succession of Clothaire II to his father's throne, and shortly after Clothaire's accession, Arnulf was named bishop of Metz. He served as advisor to Dagobert I, and Arnulf's older son, Ansigisilus, married St. Begga, daughter of Pepin of Landen, another advisor. Some say that Pepin and Arnulf were the real rulers of Austrasia and Dagobert was a figurehead. After participating in councils at Clinchy and Rheims, Arnulf resigned his see to live in a skete in the Vosges with his friend, St. Romaric. Arnulf died c. 640/43, and his hermitage later became a monastery, Remiremont. Their son Clodulf later served as bishop of Metz. Children of Bishop St. Arnulf and Dode De Heristal are: 7971459302016 i.

Notes for Bishop of Metz St. Clodulf: Clodulf of Metz B (RM) (also known as Clou, Cloud, Clodulphus) Born 605; died 696. Saint Cloud, succeeded his father, Saint Arnulf, as bishop of Metz and governed the see for 40 years (Benedictines, Encyclopedia). Saint Cloud is depicted in art as a Benedictine abbot giving his hood to a poor man. A ray of light shines from his head. He might also be shown with the royal insignia at his feet or instructing the poor (Roeder). He is invoked against carbuncles (Roeder). 15942918604034. Mayor of Austrasia [Lande Pepin, deLanden], born 585 in [ AKA "The Elder]; died Abt. 21 February 645/46. He was the son of 31885837208068. Mayor Of Austrasia Carloman. He married 15942918604035. Iduberga Itta, Of Austrasia. 15942918604035. Iduberga Itta, Of Austrasia, born 597; died 652 in Monastery of Nivelle. She was the daughter of 31885837208070. Bishop Of Metz Arnoldus. Notes for Mayor of Austrasia [Lande Pepin, deLanden]: Known as "The Blessed", Blessed Pepin of Landen (AC) and also known as Pippin, Died February 21, c. 646. Pepin was, perhaps, the most important, powerful person in the empire during his age. As duke of Brabant and mayor of the palace (first minister) of kings Clotaire II, Dagobert I, and Sigebert III, he determined much of the policy of the Franks. Pepin, the ancestor of the Carolingian dynasty of French kings, was the husband of Blessed Itta and father Grimoald, of Saint Gertrude of Nivelles and Saint Begga. He is described as "a lover of peace and the constant defender of truth and justice," though it may not seem that way at first glance. Pepin and Bishop Arnulf of Metz aided King Clotaire II of Neustria in overthrowing Queen Brunhilda of Austrasia in 613. In recognition of the important roles they played, Clotaire appointed them mayors of the palace to rule Austrasia for Clotaire's son Dagobert I from 623. When Pepin rebuked Dagobert (who had succeeded his father about 629) for his licentious life, Dagobert discharged him and he retired to Aquitaine. Dagobert still respected him enough to appoint him tutor of his three-year-old son Sigebert before his death in 638, and Pepin returned and ruled the kingdom until his own death the following year. Pepin worked to spread the faith throughout the kingdom, defended Christian towns from Slavic invaders, and chose responsible men to fill vacant sees. The marriage of his daughter, Begga, and Bishop Arnulf's son, Segislius, produced Pepin of Herstal, the first of the Carolingian dynasty in France. Pepin of Landen was buried at Landen, but his relics were later translated to Nivelle, where they are now enshrined with those of his wife and daughter Gertrude. Here is feast is kept. Pepin was never canonized but is listed as a saint in some of the old Belgic martyrologies and a litany published by the authority of the archbishop of Mechlin (Benedictines, Delaney, Encyclopedia, Husenbeth). More About Mayor of Austrasia [Lande Pepin, deLanden]: Burial: Landen, but his relics were later translated to Nivelle, where they are now enshrined with those of his wife and daughter Gertrude. Notes for Iduberga Itta, Of Austrasia: Blessed Ida of Nivelles, OSB Widow (AC) (also known as Itta, Iduberga) Died 652. After the death of Blessed Pepin of Landen, his wife Ida built a double monastery at Nivelles. She and her younger daughter, Saint Gertrude entered the monastery, which was placed under the Benedictine Rule and governed by Gertrude (Benedictines). Several art historians give a stag with flaming horns as the emblem of Saint Ida of Nivelles, but it seems likely that this is a confusion with Ida of Toggenburg, whose proper attribute it is (Roeder). She is invoked against toothache and erysipelas (Roeder). More About Iduberga Itta, Of Austrasia: Burial: Nivelle, with her husband and younger daughter St. Gertrude. Children of Mayor Pepin and Iduberga Itta are: 7971459302017 i. St. Begga Of Brabant, born 613 in Landen, Belgium; died 698 in France; married Mayor Of Austrasia Angigise. ii. St. Gertrude Of Nivelles, born 626 in Landen; died 659 in Monastery of Nivelle. Notes for St. Gertrude Of Nivelles: Gertrude of Nivelles, OSB Abbess (RM) Born at Landen in 626; died at Nivelles in 659. Saint Gertrude was the younger daughter of Blessed Pepin of Landen and Blessed Itta. Her sister Begga is also numbered among the saints. At an early age she devoted herself to the religious life. On the death of Pepin in 639 and on the advice of Saint Amand of Maastricht, Itta built a double monastery at Nivelles, where both mother and daughter retired. Gertrude was appointed abbess when she was judged old enough (about age 20). Although she was still very young, she discharged her responsibilities well with her mother's assistance. Gertrude was known for her hospitality pilgrims and her encouragement of and generous benefactions to the Irish missionary monks. She gave land to Saint Foillan, brother of Saint Fursey, on which he built the monastery of Fosses. She also helped the Irish Saint Ultan in his evangelizing efforts. At age 30 (656), Gertrude resigned her office in favor of her niece, Saint Wilfetrudis, because she was weakened by her many austerities. She spent the rest of her days studying Scripture and doing penances. Gertrude is another of the medieval mystics who was gifted with visions, and like Saint Catherine of Siena died at the significant age of 33--the age of Our Lord at His death. The cultus of Saint Gertrude became widely spread in the Lowlands, neighboring countries, and England. A considerable body of folklore gathered around her name. Saint Gertrude is named in Saint Bede's martyrology (Attwater, Benedictines, Delaney, Encyclopedia, Farmer). In art Gertrude is an abbess with mice (representing the souls in purgatory to whom she had a great devotion) running up her pastoral staff. Sometimes she is shown (1) holding a large mouse; (2) spinning or holding a distaff; or (3) with a cat near her (Roeder). As late as 1822, offerings of gold and silver mice were left at her shrine in Cologne (Farmer). Saint Gertrude is the patron saint of gardeners because fine weather on her feast day meant it was time to begin spring planting. Her patronage of travellers comes from her hospitality toward them (Delaney). Pilgrims used to drink a stirrup-cup in her honor before setting out. As an extension, she was also invoked as a patroness of those who had recently died, who were popularly supposed to experience a three-day journey to the next world. It was supposed that they spent the first night under the care of Gertrude, and the second under Saint Michael the Archangel. She is invoked against rats and mice (Farmer). Wilfetrudis of Nivelle, OSB Abbess (AC) Died after 670. Wilfetrudis was the second abbess of the Benedictine convent of Nivelles in Brabant, which had been founded by her aunt Saint Gertrude of Nivelles (Benedictines).
