|
| 1909 | Her parents are John Jay and Ann Orchard according to Sandy Barber. (C-1344) She was thought to be the sister of William Jay who married James's sister, Mary Elizabeth Vestal according to Margaret Jay's book. (C-2141) DNA evidence now proves that this Mary's father is not a DNA match to William Jay, b. 1711 of Frederick, Virginia. Therefore, it's entirely possible that her parents are John Jay and Ann Orchard. I need to find DNA triangulations to prove her parentage. | JAY, Mary (I15824)
|
| 1910 | Her parents are unverified. She is a DNA match to me, but her parents have been listed as any of the following: 1) David Coats and Eunice Coppock. There are two Davids that I've found so far in SC at the time, and I'm not certain which David is married to Eunice. People that trace her through David say that she's the grand-daughter of Stephen Marmaduke and great grand-daughter of Marmaduke and Mary Jane Coppock. 2) Benjamin Coate or 3) Marmaduke and Mary Jane Coate. | COATE, Lavina (I14267)

|
| 1913 | Her parents were both born in North Carolina according to her 1880 census record. | MOFFITT, Mary (I5929)
|
| 1914 | Her spouse has been listed as Joseph Burkett or Andrew Fouts with the second choice being much more likely. (C-2176) | HOOVER, Mary (I1185)
|
| 1915 | Her surname has been suggested to be Miles, Jones or Williams from the various correspondents I have on this person. (C-2081) Jones is the current theory from Gary W. Coats of Portland, OR. It in part is related to the naming pattern ofr first born son, James, who names his firstborn daughter, Nancy. In her will written in 1836, she refers to herself as being "a very aged and infirm woman". She names daughters Mary, Catherine and Sarah Kendall as well as granddaughter Peggy Coate. In fact, she gives her property and all residue other than her clothing to her granddaughter Peggy and makes her the executrix of her will. Peggy has always been an illusive clue. Any of her grandchildren would be in their 30's or 40's at this point in time. Peggy is obviously also unwed. It it not a common Coate name. The only Peggy Coate known is Peggy the daughter of Notley Coate as so named in Notley's will. If the timing is studied, Thomas and Sarah Ann could be the father of Notley and Notley the father of Peggy. Notley would have to be the eldest son of Thomas and Sarah Ann Coate. At this point in time, this seems like the logical connection for this Notley Coate. (C-266) Here is a transcription of her will provided by Karen Foster Montgomery. "Sarah Ann Coates, wife of Thomas Coates, survived her husband Thomas many years. Her death did not occur until 1837. An abstract of her Will, in which she says she is very aged and infirm, is as follows: Will: SARAH ANN COATE Newberry Dist., S.D. (sic) 8 June 1836 - pr. Sept. 9, 1837. Being very aged and infirm woman make my will . . . . as following: I give all my clothing (except my new cloak) to my daughter Mary Coate, Catharine Coate and Sarah Kendall. Second - my furniture to daughter Sarah Kendall. Grand-daughter Peggy Coate my new Cloak . . . . and son Exec.(signed) Sarah A. X Coate. Wits.: Hugh O'Neall John Sampson Summers Jno. B. O'Neall" | JONES, Sarah Ann (I16345)

| 1916 | Her surname is also found spelled De Grandmesnil. (C-1363, 1365) | DE GRANTMESNIL, Petronill Or Pernell (I12989)
|
| 1917 | Her surname is spelled Brave in the Mormon Ancestral Files, c1996. (C-1453) | BRANE, Elizabeth (I14261)
|
| 1918 | Her surname was Airs. She was a widow of a Mr. Stroud when she married William Babcock. She was named in husband, William Babcock's will in 1888 but had died by the time it was submitted on Jan. 16, 1889. | AIRS, Matilda (I456)

| 1919 | Her title was "Countess of Norfolk". | BASSETT, Aline (Aliva) (I14443)

| 1920 | Her title was Hildegard of Vinzgua in Tompsett's Royalty Site. Charlemagne and Hildegard had at least seven children. He married her in the same year he married and divorced Desideria. (C-2393, 1351) | OF SWABIA, Hildegarde (I12528)

|
| 1922 | Her will, written on 12th Mar. 1782 and probated on 11 Dec. 1782 in St. Joseph, listed her daughter-in-law, Ann (Parkes?) Laming and grandson Edward Laming. She apparently had the following children: Edward Laming from St. Joseph Parish; A daughter who married Benjamin Alleyne and son Dymock (already mentioned). This information is in the will of her son, Edward, probated in 1770. This Edward, son of Mary, didn't mention a wife or children. (F-201) | Mary (I17039)

| 1924 | Here are my theories on the parentage of George Cornwell. The first is from a book entitled "The Visitation of Essex, 1552". A census that listed family lineages was taken in Essex in 1552. For Cornwell it says that George was the secondf Humphrey Cornewell and Mary Mannoke (of Stoke Gyfford, Nayland, Suffolk Co. England) his siblings being first born, Thomas - heyre, and third born Fraunces and sisters Jane, Margaret, Elizabeth and Fraunces. His father, Humphrey was the second son, but became heyre when his older brother John died without male issue. They were the sons of Thomas who was the son of John. This original John listed was an "esquyer" of Haverell in the county of Essex. The evidence so far that this is this George's line is that it included a son George of appropriate age in Essex County. (F-344) The second theory of George's parentage is simply a listing of his peers named Cornwell living in Terling at the same time he was. These could be cousins or brothers. I've listed them in probable order of oldest to youngest by the years their children were born: John, Henry, (our George), Thomas, and Richard. (F-385) The third and most common theory currently held by other other researchers is that George is the son of Thomas of Fairsted Manor in Essex Co., England but I have not yet seen any proof of this. Our George had a son Thomas by his third wife, who moved to MA, NY and then Rhode Island, shortly after George's son, William moved to Connecticut. This is how the lineage is presented in multiple Cornell genealogies on the Internet and is now supported by 37 point DNA tests of current day living descendants. (F-576.6, 669) As for his children by his 3rd wife, Susan Casse, only Thomas and Joshua are certain. I also have disagreeing sources on his death date. My death date of bef. 1595 would not be correct if George was buried on 21 Dec. 1602 as in a lineage from Gale Cornwell. This burial supposedly took place at Terling Church, Terling, Essex Co., England. Another letter Gale sent me says he died in Stanton Harcourt, Oxfordshire, England.

None of the mother's names match her daughter's names. There are two records that match one of their son's names of John which would be my first guess at her parentage. Out of the two places where the John's as her possible father lived above, the one living in Clent was less than 8 miles from where daughter, Mary Round was born. Clent is also just 9 miles from where she and her husband married. This is in contrast to Berslem which was 50 miles away suggesting a good theory for the parentage of Sarah is the John living in Clent, England. | HARINSON, Sarah (I10218)

| 1928 | Here is a partial transcription of the very difficult to read 1637 document involving Robert Dudley as he tries to procure land that had gone to his brother Dudd Dudley. According to him, it had legally been given to his deceased brother Edward, a minor. It was in the care of Elizabeth Tomlinson till Edward reached his majority. After Edward died young and Elizabeth also passed, Edward's land somehow came into possession of his younger brother Dudd Dudley for which Robert files a request to have the land put in his name instead as the eldest living son of Elizabeth Tomlinson and Lord Dudley. He did not file this request until seven years after his mother's death. It obviously was a long-held grudge. Here is the Chancery suit Dudley alias Tomlinson vs Dudley alias Tomlinson, Stafford, 1626-1639 under PRO reference C3/400/154 in the Court of Chancery or Court of Probate that is transcribed by myself (Linda) and Uncle Richard Coate as follows:"May 16, 1637To the Right honorable Thomas Lord Cobentrye Lord Keeper of the great Seale of England Humblie complaining and showeth unto ye good Lordshipp ye daily orator Robert Dudley Als Tomlinson of Dudley in the Countye of (W)igen (gent) That wheras Gilbert Irlyans of Dudley aforesaid yeoman being lawfully (seized) in his (demea.ner) (as) of A(be) (off) and in all those hee (closes) of land (pa? re) and wood called or knowne by the name or names of (Parhy Airly) with all and singuler theras (Then anses) Lying and being in Tibbington (Als) Tipton in the Countye of Staffrd beh()eene the land leading from Tipton Greene to the part way, The land called Tipton Park (heretofore) in the (tenure) of Humfrye (Noinsthurst) the lands late M(lis) (Kirleys) divided into five parts wherof the one is called Smythe and the other Hall (Alisles) And the lands late of Richard Whitehorse of all parts, All with said (Prern) were heretofore in the occupaton of (Nicholas) ()(Hardmish) or of his (Appyues) and nowe and in the (tenure) and occupaton of Olliver Hamnett and Henry Addenbrooke of Tipton Aforsaid Naylors or ( ) (A? es): And being soe seized the said Gilbert Julyans by his Indenture Tripertite (Sebring) (da.) on or aboute the sixth daye of October with (wat) in the ffirst yeere of the late reigne of ( ) late (soveigne) Lord king James made behoeene him the said Gilbert Julyans of the Ffirstt part, And (..hard) (..hurth) late of Shurbridge in the said countye of Wigon, and Thomas (? mer) Esqr. of the second part, and Edward Tomlinson (sithenne) deseased and ye orator Robert Tomlinson and Dud Tomlinson being (..es) of Elizabeth Tomlinson your orators late Mother deceased of the thirde parte did by the said indenture and by deed of Ale(e) (Alment) afterwards wherupon (.inery) and seiz() (was) Duely (Executed) and other grod and lawfull convayances and for good and valuable Considerarns of Money (convey) (sitte) and assure the said lands and premises unto and upon the said Edward Tomlinson ye orators late brother and the heires of his body lawfully begotten and to bee begotten and for want of ( ) ( ) then unto and upon ye Orator and conseyances of the same may bee produced itt doth law may more all large Appeare: By (fforstt) wherof the said Edward Tomllinson was sized of a good and lawful estate in fee sayle the (mediahe) remaynder expectant, upon ye orator and his heirs to be (apresaid), Which said Indenture and Convayance were afterwards putt into and left in the hands of the said Elizabeth Tomlinson being ye orators and the said Edward Tomlinson late Mother as aforesaid) the same to bee saflye (..t) by her for the Said Edward and ye (Orator) being then in there Minorityes, And the said Elizabeth did for the most parte in her life tyme (reseme) and (sek) the (werts) and (..its) of the said (Premisses) (sithoure) (whos) (.yne) ye Orator showeth unto ye Lordshipp that the said lands (premisses) and mus(.) improved by reason of (durse) buildings and (M.ssubyes) and Cappitall Mansion houses ( ) nowe.

| 1929 | Here is a timeline of John's life. He is the ancestor of Steve Pearson's Coate lineage. 1796 or 1804 Born in SC 1820 Probably the John Sr. Coats living in Union Twp., Miami Co., OH somewhat close to several sons of Marmaduke Coate Jul 3 or 9/23 1826 Marries Patsy Birely 1827 In Tax Lists for Newberry Twp., Miami Co., OH 1830 In Census for Newberry Twp., Miami Co., OH listed as Jr. "John Coats Jr is living with one male between 0 to 5, two males between 5 to 10, one male between 30 to 40, one female between 0 to 5, one female between 10 to 15, and lastly one female between 20 to 30." He lived two doors from his wife's parents. 1834 Daughter Susannah born in Ohio (d. 1912 in OH, m. Silas Pearson) 1840 In Census for Newberry Twp., Miami Co., OH1843 He and wife are charter members of the Greenville Creek Church of Christ. There is an adjoining graveyard where they might be buried, but no gravestone exists for them there. 1850 He and his family are living in Newberry Twp., Miami Co., OH in the 1850 census records, page 404. John Coats, 54, S.C., farmer, Martha, 48, VA., Susan, 16, Ohio William, 12, Ohio, George, 10, OH, Mark, 8, OH, Hijah, 6, Ohio (E) Brother George is also living in that same township. Neither had any value listed under the real estate column and neither are in the deed records for Miami Co., Ohio suggesting that they didn't own their land. (E) (C-1630)1864 His estate (in which there was no land) took place in Darke Co., Ohio. His administrator was appointed Oct. 10, 1864. His estate record filed on Nov. 12, 1864 is short because he obviously was quite poor. It is quoted and summarized by Steve Pearson and was available at Garst where it had been sent from it's original recording. ("There being no property of any kind whatever to set off to the widow Martha Coats ( there being no minor children ) we certify that she will need, and was set off to her for one years maintenance in money the sum of, Two Hundred Dollars $(200)" ( then signed by the three appraisers ) then it goes on to say: "There being no personal estate of any kind whatever belongs to said estate except a claim on the united states, under the bounty act of 1861 and back pay allowed to said decedent in his lifetime ( but not paid ) an recount? of the services and death of Hijah Coats in the military services of the United States and we do appraise said claim at one hundred and thirty nine dollars..." The administrator of the estate was D.S. Davenport. I safely assume this to have been John's son-in-law, David S. Davenport who married daughter Margaret Coat(e)(s). | COATS, John (I8004)

| 1932 | Here is Charles and Elizabeth's marriage record on Freereg.org.uk County Monmouthshire Place (Links to more information) Llanarth Church name (Links to more information)St Teilo Register type (Links to more information)Parish Register Register entry number45 Marriage date06 Dec 1819 Groom forename Charles Groom surname REES Groom parish Abergavenny Groom condition bachelor Bride forename Elizabeth Bride surname PARRY Bride parish Llanarth Bride condition spinster Witness 1 William FORTY Witness 2 John HATCH Notes Mark of bride and groom Transcribed by Glen Jenkins File line number45 There is only a birth record for their first daughter Elizabeth in this source currently. Charles might be the following: Great Britain, War Office Registers, 1772-1935 Name: Charles Rees Event Type: Military Service Event Date: 21 Apr 1803 Event Place: United Kingdom Age: 18 Birth Year (Estimated): 1785 Charles is listed as a Fireman in each of his children's baptismal records. Charles and his wife were able to leave hard times in Wales when his wife was left bequests by her Uncle. They lived shortly in Pittsburg, PA where Charles made money as a glassblower. They were in Raccoon Twp., Gallia Co., Ohio by 1840 as they were in the census living two houses from Thomas Morgan in the 1840 census. He was between age 50 and 60, his wife from 40-50, with 4 sons from 10-15, and 1 daughter under age 5 in Raccoon Twp., Gallia Co., Ohio. Elizabeth is married by the time of this census and is not a daughter listed in this family. (CL-88) He supposedly sent gold to the Chillicothe land office to buy his 40 acres in Gallia Co., OH on Jun 25, 1841. He was listed of Gallia Co. at the time of this purchase. They settled there because of friends and apparent family living in the area. John Rees married to Margaret Campbell on May 20, 1813 in Gallia appears from records to be the brother of Charles. This is probably John Rees, a native of Wales, who d. on May 7, 1863 and was buried in Ebenezer Cemetery also. (CL-606) It is also likely that Charles named his 2nd son John after his brother. Charles had selected a heavily wooded lot in Raccoon Twp. With the help of sons Charles, David, John and little George, they built a two-story log cabin and cleared land for crops. (CL-588) Sometime before 1850, his wife contracted cancer and died. Charles married two more times. One of these appears to be Eleanor Campbell in 1858 as he is likely the Charles living with wife Eleanor in the 1860 census for Raccoon Twp. on pg. 235, living within pages of the rest of his family. In that census, he is 65 years of age, born in England (Monmouthshire Co., sometimes Wales, mostly England), wife's name was Eleanor. They had a daughter named Melissa E. living with them, age 10. She would have been Eleanor's daughter. In the 1870 census, he is with his son David and next to his son George. He is listed as helping his son for occupation. His age is given at 72, born in Wales. The two households before him are also relatives, the families of David and Edward Evans. He was buried beside his first wife in Gilboa Cemetery. His stone is no longer in existence as they were destroyed by vandals. Charles Sr.'s Son's Charles, David, and John went into steam boating on the Ohio River during the Civil War. After the war, Charles moved to Tennesee. John moved to Minnesota and David returned to the farm. In the 1851 Census records, there is one other Reese that was born in the same town, Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, Wales in a similar time period. He was William Reese, born in 1793 married to Elizabeth Reese and having son, Thomas, b. 1833. They lived in Chepstow, Monmouthshire, Wales at the time. It is likely that William is a relative of, or possibly brother to Charles Reese. (EL) | REES, Charles * (I8941)

| 1939 | Here is his bio from the well researched website: Clan McFarlane and Associated Clans. "Sir John Colquhoun was appointed governor of the castle of Dumbarton, by King James I, for his fidelity to that king during his imprisonment in England. From his activity in punishing the depredations of the Highlanders, who often committed great outrages in the low country of Dumbartonshire, he rendered himself obnoxious to them, and a plot was formed for his destruction. He received a civil message from some of their chiefs, desiring a friendly conference, in order to accommodate all their differences. Suspecting no treachery, he went out to meet them but slightly attended, and was immediately attacked by a numerous body of Islanders, under two noted robber-chiefs, Lachlan Maclean and Murdoch Gibson, and slain on Inchmurren, in Loch Lommond, in 1439." | COLQUHOUN, Sir John * 8th of Colquhoun & 10th of Luss fr 1408-1439 - E-BY5775 (I16967)

| 1943 | Here is the diary of C.H. Forte in the 1920's as faxed to me by Katrina Wright of New Zealand. This was her direct ancestor. I've retyped it retaining original spelling, punctuation and wording. Notes Written by Mr. C. H. Forte. "I was born in the town of Georgetown, Demarara, British Guiana in South America, situated 8 degrees north of the Equator. The year was 1870. My father was a medical man in the British Civil Service. The Colony of British Guiana is augar growing country, and the sugar plantations are worked by collie labour imported from India. Each sugar estate has so many Indian coolies in charge of overseers, and the Government requires them to have hospitals and take care of the sick. These hospitals are divided up into districts in charge of a doctor who has to visit them daily. which means a great amount of running around, as the estates are large and hospitals are far apart. During my early boyhood it was my great joy to go the rounds with my father, and many were the experiences I had. One district that my father was in chare of had a hospital on an island called Tiger Island, situated at the mouth of the Esequibo River. These South American rivers are very large, the Esequibo is over 60 miles wide near the mouth, and contain several large islands, one named Laguan is as large as the Isle of Wight. At the time I am writing of motor boats were not in existence, so when the doctor had to visit he was rowed across to Tiger Island in a boat called a batteux (a cross between a canoe and a punt); the current was very swift, and they often had to row a couple of miles up stream close into the bank so as to be able to shoot across the channel to the other side. If they did not do this they would have been carried down stream far below the landing on the far side. I can assure you I sued to thoroughly enjoy the excitement of crossing to Tiger Island. As I grew older I was given a gun, and used to accompany my father shooting. One of the best classes of shooting was pigeons. These birds fly very fast and are hard to hit. The method of shooting wild pigeons is to find their feeding ground, and shoot them on their way to and from their daily feeding, and if the wind happens to be blowing the way the birds are flying they take some hitting. My parents used to take regular holidays to England, and I went with them much to the detriment of my education, as I had crossed between Demarara and England seven times before I was sixteen years of age. Demarara is a fever country, and when we had a bad time with Malaria we would be sent off to Barbados, one of the West India Islands, where malaria was practically unknown. Here we would be put to school for a few months, and then back to Demarara we would go. To give my readers some idea of the conditions of life in Demarara fifty years ago I will tell you of what happened to one of my sisters. We were living at that time at a place called Mellenmcarsog and had a young nigger girl as nurse to us children. This nurse had a small brother who became ill and father had to attend to him, but he grew suddenly worse and eventually dies, the blame of his death being laid at my father's door. These old negroes are terribly superstitious and believed in a great deal of witchcraft, called Obia, and in the old theory of "a tooth for a tooth". What happened to my young sister, a baby of eighteen months, we were never able to find out: but one day Mother noticed a small wound in the cornea of Edith's eye, which got steadily worse, and nothing that Father could do to it was of any use. In a few weeks it got so bad that he decided to seek the advice of the best opthalmic surgeons in England: and so he took us Home. Poor little Edith grew steadily worse, in spite of all that was done for her. She was attended to by the best English doctors, who were completely puzzled by her symptoms, and eventually she died, after suffering untold agony. It was not until some years later, when that same nurse girl was ill and thought to be dying, that she confessed that she had taken Edith into the village to an old "Obia Man" and got him to "work Obia" on her in revenge for the death of her brother. On another occasion I was greatly interested in a man who was brought in and accused of being a cannibal. He had dug up a man who had been buried the previous day, removed his head, and cooked and eaten it, because he wanted to become as wise as the dead man, so he said. The negro population lived principally on plaintain, (a species of banana), fish and fruits, of which in that tropical climate there is a profusion. Now plaintains require cultivation, and were valued very highly; every family had its plantain in grove and guarded it carefully, so you can imagine the consternation of the household if one morning they awoke to find their crop of plantains gone, - carried off in the night by thieves. This kind of thieving became so common and was so hard to detect, as plaintins all look as alike as peas in a pod, that the authorities had to step in and do something, so a law was passed making plantain stealing punishable by flogging with the cat-o-nine=tails, and I have sen several men strapped to the triangle and soundly thrashed with the cat; and I can assure you it soon put a stop to plantain stealing. My father had to be present in this medical capacity, and I sued to accompany him, I being intended to follow in his footsteps; so my education started early, even to the extent of learning my anatomy when he was doing "post-mortems", of which there were a great many, as in that unhealthy climate men died very often. I well remember an accident on one of the sugar plantations; a boler burst and killed 11 of the workeres in the sugar mill, besides injuring and scalding several others. I was a boy of twelve then, and quite useful at helping at a p.m. or doing a dressing. I can't recall the name of the plantation on which the accident occurred: but it was the next plantation to one called "Aurora" on the Esequibo River, coast. Talking about sugar, it was quite an interesting and romantic process in those days. Demarara is a perfectly flat country, situated at the mouths of three great rivers, and was originally a Dutch Colony; the old Dutch brought out their method of water carriage and worked it in their new colony; the country being so low and flat lent itself admirably to that sort of thing. They build sea walls along the coast and river frontages, put in flood gates called "Kokurs", drained the land by digging canals all over the place, then used their canals to carry the sugar canes to the mills to be ground, and the juice made into sugar. The canes came to the mill in large flat-bottomed punts drawn by mules. The punts with their cargoes of canes used to be drawn up alongside a jetty with an elevator on it that was worked on the endless belt principle, coolies threw the canes ont of the punt on to the moving deck of the jetty, and this carried them up to the crushing rollers at the mill, where the juice was extracted and made into sugar. Demarara sugar was known as the best in those days. Most of the mills used steam power to run their plants; but on some of the small places windmills were used. In fact, in the Island of Barbados windmills were in use quite recently. When I was between fourteen and fifteen my father's health gave out, and we went to England and settled at Ventnor in the Isle of Wight. I was put to school at Newport Grammar School, where I remained for a couple of years. My father having recovered sufficiently to return to Demarara I was taken from school and went out to the colony with him in 1886; but as Father had a return of malaria in a few months after he got back, he threw up his work and we returned to Ventnor, where the rest of the family were living. Having decided to give up practice, the next thing was to find a place to live in; and in April 1887 we set sail for South Africa, landed at Port Elizabeth, and eventually settled in a small up-country town called Grahamstown. I was just 17 then, and as there was no money for education I got out to work. Ostrich-farming was doing well then, so I got a situation as cadet on an ostrich farm at (lb.)1 per month and my keep. After being at that for about six months I secured another place, at the wonderful salary of (lb.)1 perr week and my keep, because I was useful with tools as a carpenter, and had picked up the Native language fairly fast. My job was to teach the Kaffir boys how to make farm gates and other rough carpentry; besides, look after the "birds" as the ostriches are called. Birds had to be fed in dry weather, then there was the regular round-up and feather cutting, two months later another round-up, and all the quills that the wing feathers had grown on and been cut required to be gone over and removed to prepare for the next season's growth of feathers. Then there were the birds in the breeding camps to be attended to. Breeding camps are small enclosures with a pair of birds in each. These mad nests and sat on the eggs; chicks had to be looked after, the incubators watched, and indeed one hundred and one things to be attended to. In spite of all the work we used to manage to have quite a good time, as there was tennis in the evenings, and always shooting to be had whenever you could get away; and life was good at "Elina" ostrich farm, - in fact too good to last, as after I had been there about 18 months my employer's son came home from school, his education finished, and he took on my work, which meant another job for me. I got on to a very large place called Keatherton Towers, at the same salary of (lb.)1 per week and keep. The owner of this place was an M.P. and spent a lot of time in Capetown, so had to have a Manager to look after the farm, and I was employed as his assistant: He was a Mr. Verity, and a jolly nice chap. He and I got on splendidly, and as soon as he found out what I could do and how much I knew he recommended me for a rise of wages, and I was given (lb.)2, 10, 0 per week. At this time my people got the wanderlust again very badly, and decided that Tasmania was the only place with a climate that was suitable, so nothing would do but pack up and be off to try it; and of course I went with them. They caught the N.A. Shipping Company's steamer "Acrangi" at Capetown; and after an uneventful voyage arrived at Hobart, Tasmania. After a few weeks I managed to secure work on a farm on the northwest coats at a place called Wynyard. Life in Tasmania was a very different thing from South Africa.

Items in parenthesis were added from a similar obituary transcribed in Beers "History of Darke Co., OH". "Died June 22, 1848 at the age ofnths, and 12 days), (2nd child of 8) of Rev. David Powell (Baptist) of Bedford Co., Pennsylvania Jan 25, 17(8)5. She married David John of Little Cove, Franklin Co., PA and became the mother of 13 children. On the spring of 1810, the whole family emigrated to Madison Twp., Montgomery Co., Ohio. On Nov 12 (10th), 1812 David John died leaving Eleanor in charge of a large family in a new country to encounter all the privations of such a situation as best she could. (but being a woman hale and industrious and with a confiding trust in God, she was enabled to bring up her family respectably and to see them settled in life. At the time of her death her children numbered thirteen, her grandchildren seventy-one, her great grandchildren thirty-seven, making her descendants 121.) She was a consistent member of the Wolf Creek Baptist Church where she maintained a very credible standing all through the years. She was as well and extensively known, loved and respected by both the rich and the poor as any other woman of her day and time.

| 1949 | Here is what we know about this Thomas from YDNA results at FTDNA. He is related to Solomon Tharp, b. 1750 of Delaware and other states and to a Zacheas Tharp, b.c. 1750, Botecourt Co., VA and a Jeremiah Tharp of unknown date. Solomon is not the Solomon of Woodbridge, NJ as they are absolutely not related via YDNA testing. The Woodbridge, NJ group is an entirely different YDNA grouping. Here is who our Thomas is NOT related to via YDNA. 1. Haplotype #1: Thomas Thorpe (1631) of Woodbridge, New Jersey; Zebulon Tharp (early 1700's) of Virginia; Benjamin Tharp (abt 1770) of Virginia, Thomas Thorp (1818) of Ontario, Canada; John Jacob Thorp/Tharp (1776) of Morris County, New Jersey. 3. Haplotype #3: John Henry Tharp (abt 1830) of Somerset County, New Jersey. 4. Haplotype #4: James Tharp (1799) of Virginia. 5. Haplotype #5: George Thorpe (late 1700's) of England. 6. Haplotype #6: William Thorpe (abt 1605) of New Haven, Connecticut. Thomas was born in England or Virginia and supposedly lived in Virginia from 1660-1674. Descendants have theorized that he came as an indentured servant in one of the two following possibilities. It is believed that our Thomas came from Virginia before he moved to Maryland as per a Ship's passenger list dated 1683. He bought 200 acres of land in Maryland in 1684 known as Pentridge from Jacob Johnson of Langford Cay (Bay), Kent Co., MD. He paid for it with 4300 pounds of Tobacco indicating that he had land in1683/4 to be able to buy these 200 acres in 1684. Here are the theories that he was an indentured servant instead. A Thomas arrived in a party in 1653/1654 where David Philips/Felps of Lancaster Co., VA claimed him and others as headrights. The other persons he claimed could have came from the same area in England. They were Jonathan Humphries, Elizabeth Collins, Thomas Smythson, and Mr. Jonathan Cox. He is the following Thomas. "Thomas Tharpe was born in 1633 in England to William Thorp and his wife, Margaret and was baptized on 28 Oct 1633 in St Michael's Parish, Bassinshaw, London, London, England. He arrived in Virginia in 1654 and John Cox sponsored him in Lancaster, VA. He married Alice (last name unknown) and they had 3 children---William (b 1662), Thomas (1664-May 1704), and Elizabeth(b 1601). Alice died after 6 Feb 1666/7 in Sittingbourne Parish, Rappahannock County, VA. He and Henry (Hendrick) Lucas bought 105 acres for their families in Rappahannock Co, VA on 28 Feb 1662 and again on 20 Oct 1662. After Alice died Henry gave (deeded) Alice half of the land that he and Thomas had purchased with the stipulation that the land go to her oldest son, William, when she died so that the land would remain with the family. Thomas Thorpe was born before 1642. [1]" Another Thomas Thorp came in 1658 instead and was claimed by John Evans of Westmoreland Co., Virginia. Evans claimed headrights on 33 passengers. They were himself, Jonathan Evans Jr., Mary Evans; (all of Westmoreland and then Essex Co., VA) Timothy, Edward and Charles Hill, Robert and Peter Lowe; Stephen, James and Richard Allen; Thomas and John Thorpe; Mary and Elizabeth Lord; Ann and Elizabeth Thompson; Abigail Parker; Barnaby Little; Rice Jones; Thomas Allstone; James Morrison; Leonard Strong; John Batt; John Moyses; John Clerk; Henry King; John Stoile; Edward Shoare; Sarah Voss; Tabitha Hare; Ann Dakin; and Edward Person. Again, if these persons are all from one region in England it could give us a lead back to our Thomas' ancestors. The headright system was for men, women and children at the time. That along with DNA saying we are related to the early Massachusetts group could help us narrow down where both groups are from. Candee Varvil suggests that this Thomas Tharp was from Westmorland, VA and probably ended up in Northumberland, VA and is not likely ours. Right now, the only one unaccounted for is the Thomas who emigrated in 1664 to Virginia from immigration records. It is important to note that the Virginia Company first started this headright system, where persons who could pay for the passage of "poor" persons to Virginia would not only receive at least 50 acers of land per person, but also had their indentured servitude for their agreed upon number of years. The land our Thomas purchased in Kent Co., MD was close to if not on Quaker Neck. Although Thomas was not a Quaker, the Tharps often lived near Quakers and some of them married into Quaker families. A note of interest in Robert L. Tharp's book, is that Thomas is known not to be a Quaker because he started his will with "In the name of God, Amen," a manner never used by Quakers. He died before Nov. 21, 1686 in that same county as his will was probated then. In his will he named: son, William, underage; daughter, Elizabeth, probably under age, neither with heirs, son Thomas Thorp, daughter, Mary Thorp. He dispossessed his "rebellious wife Elizabeth Tharp ... because she is gone away in another Country with James Carle and have carried a great parte of my goods along with her and lives in adultery with him." He made his friend, Robert Erick his executor and appointed guardian for his two underage children. He bequeathed him the land meant for William and Elizabeth if they had no heirs. (CL-316) When looking on Freereg.org.uk, here are the baptismal dates of any of the Thomas Thorpes that were born in a range to be this Thomas. Obviously his parentage is difficult to discern.

The one that disappears from English records in 1661, is a match to our Thomas who could have first arrived in Virginia in 1664. This would explain why he had 4000+ lbs of Tobacco to buy his land in Kent Co., Maryland in 1683. His unknown wife never appears in burial records in England. He has a son Thomas who was born in Lincolnshire, England where he was from whose marriage and death never occur in Lincolnshire either. The fit makes a very strong theory. Please note, that there is a John Thorpe whom is a witness for the will of Jacob Lowder in 1696 also in Kent, Maryland that seems like it could be his son. | THORPE, Thomas * (I13356)

| 1950 | Here is what we know as of 2022 from YDNA evidence. Our William is NOT related to the following Jay families of America. Line of Thomas JAY b ca 1779 of Bedford Co. PA [21] Line of William JAY b 1767 m. Anne King (s/o David JAY/GEE) [19] Line of Moses JAY of Sussex Co. NJ (also John GEE of Westchester Co. NY) [22] Line of John F. JAY of PA [14] Line of the Broome Co. NY JAY family [] Line of Thomas Jay b 1610, Norfolk, England and Joan Gallup whose descendants include John Jay and Ann Orchard. [] Chief Justice John Jay We are related to a Joseph Jay b. abt 1712 of NJ and a John Jay b. abt 1718 of NJ but I have not ascertained how at this point in time. By age, they could all be brothers. Jay(e)'s are thought to be French Huguenots (Protestants). The name is spelled GEE in Welsh and JAY in English. (C-463, 839) It has been found under all of the additional spellings: de Jouy, Jaie, Jaye, Joy, Joye, Jary, Jvoy, Gay, Guy, Gouy, Ivey, Jany, Jouy, Iaia, and Le Jay. (C-845a,888) It originally was derived from the location of Jouy in Normandy, France. As Huguenots, the Jouys were forced to flee France during the Catholic-Huguenot Wars from 1550 - 1700. Most came to England and spent several generations. Some came directly to America. There are Jouys still in France and England as well as America. The best information available on the Coat of Arms is that it originated in France holding the motto "Deo duce perseverandun" meaning "With God our leader, we must strive." It includes the picture of the Jaybird sitting on a rock or bush. (C-859) The ancestry for William Jay is still uncertain. Several theories exist. The first one is from the VESTAL JAY NOTES by Percy Pemberton Brown it states: William Jay's "father, Joseph Jay, had been born in New Jersey, and lived for a time at Borderingtown in that state before moving to Maryland. Joseph's father, John Jay, was a planter of Barbados. He purchased land in Monmouth County, East Jersey from Robert Story in 1671 and William Shakerly in 1672. He visited Rhode Island on business in 1672, met George Fox, founder of the Quaker society, who was then visiting the colonies. Jay went with him on the trip to Md., and later came to N. Jersey. He is mentioned several times in Salem Co (NJ)." (C-175) George Fox, Quaker founder, lists this John Jay as "a Friend, pretty, rich planter of Barbados...and his large family" in his journal of his settlement of the northeast. (C-816, 849) This first theory is supported and further developed by Bill Timmons and has support in deed and will records. It is also the parentage professed in the "Compendium of American Genealogy". Current research by Vince King and others state that William's DNA is matching Revolutionary War pensioner, Joseph Jay (b. 1753) of New Jersey. A second theory that is now disproven as to his father has to do with a William married to Sarah Wilder on Dec. 6, 1705 in Alls Hollows Parish in Anne Arundel Co., Maryland. This William lived just south of Harford Co., Maryland and was approximately 100 miles from where our William lived in what was Orange Co., VA, then Frederick Co., Virginia and now Jefferson Co., West Virginia. This William and Sarah being the parents of our William is supported by the naming of our William's first daughter, Sarah. (C-949, 2123, E) Sarah was born much earlier than the other known children of William. She was also not listed as a child of William by Eli Jay when interviewing his father about his Aunts and Uncles. There is, however, a land transaction when our William marries that suggests a familial relationship. The other theory published about his parentage has absolutely been disproved by DNA evidence taken from both this William Jay's descendants and descendants of Thomas Jay/Joy. It is from Cassius Milton Jay in the Los Angeles SAR "Bulletin" and in the "Jay Family Index." Cassius (1886-1953), a leading figure in his SAR group and his father, Eli Jay (1826-1911), a professor of Mathematics at Earlham College, had devoted their lives as family historians. In one source, though not this source, it stated that he only felt this was a theory as to the parentage of William Jay. (C-800) Cassius Milton Jay's theory was in "The Bulletin", Nov. 1928, with the following lineage. I'm only repeating it here to acknowledge what is absolutely incorrect about our William Jay(5), b. 1720. Cassius theorized that he was the son of John Jay(4) of Salem Co., NJ and Chester Co., Pennsylvania. This John(4) was the son of John Jay(3) born Sept. 30, 1672 in Boston to John(2) and Mercy Bartlett Jay. NOTE: Mercy Bartlett's parents were Robert Bartlett and Mary Warren, (daughter of Richard Warren of the Mayflower). John Jay(2) is the supposed son of Thomas Joy(1) b. cal. 1610, architect of great renown of whom much is known in various published records. (C-172, C-173, C-174, C-608, C-970) This lineage is absolutely incorrect as per DNA evidence. Let's please purge this information out of our genealogies. What we do know about William Jay and his wife Mary is that they lived in Virginia, North Carolina and Newberry Co., South Carolina. Our William received a patent of 245 acres on Oct. 3, 1734 in Orange Co., VA. (Now Frederick, VA). William would have been at least 21 years of age at the time. William Vestal also received a patent on that same day in the same region. Birth places given for him include Buckingham Twp, Bucks Co., Pa, and Salem Co., NJ as well as Harford Co. (was Baltimore Co. at the time), MD. His birth year of 1719/1720 is estimated from a South Carolina relatives' letter years after his death that said William had died of an accident in his 53rd year but this has not been supported by any other document. It is also much too late for him to purchase land in 1734 that we are certain he bought from his signature on major documents in his lifetime with a characteristic W. It should be noted that in Virginia, men could purchase land at age 16. This means that he was born before 1719. He signs the same "W" as his mark on his land purchases in Virginia and his will in what is present day Newberry Co., South Carolina. William Jay sold his 245 acres on Sept. 5, 1748. (C-819, 2330) Here is his deed of sale. William was the grantor in a deed selling land to Thomas Rutherford on Eavits Runn in Shenandoah near Charlestown on Sept. 5, 1748 whereby Thomas Rutherford became the Indentured servant for William Jay for a period of one year from that date. He lived in the Parish of Fairfax at the time. There was no wife listed giving up her dower rights, but that is apparently not unusual in this county's records at the time. Other Jay sons do not have their wives give up their dower rights either in their deed records that are known to be married at the time. (C-1231, 2330) I transcribed a copy of this deed record below. 1748 Sale of land from William Jay of Fairfax Co., VA to Thomas Rutherford of Frederick Co., Virginia.

William Jay, his mark At a court contained and; held for Frederick County on Wednesday, the 7th day of September 1748 William Jay in Open Court acknowledged this his Release for Land Indented to Thomas Rutherford grant and it was on his motion Admitted to Record (Jest) Wood CCC ___________ One source says that our William was renting 100 acres of land in an unknown location in 1746. This reference probably came from "Abstracts of Wills, Inventories, and Administration Accounts of Frederick Co. Virginia". It lists William Jay under rentals with 100 acres. By 1751, William and his family lived in North Carolina. On Aug. 2, 1755, Cane Creek Meeting House records indicate that William was accepted into membership "by request" (C-862) and that the family moved to Casewell Co., North Carolina. He had apparently converted to the Quaker faith at this point. On May 6, 1756, William was granted 395 or 495 acres by an Earl of Granville in Orange Co., NC on the northeast side of North Fork of Flat River. He deeded 50 acres to his son-in-law, John Satterfield, and John's brother James, that same day. He apparently deeded land adjoining this property to his son, Joseph Jay on Oct. 3, 1767. It is suspected that this was a wedding gift as Joseph wasn't in his father's will. In fact, here are deeds and further detail that give us information about he and his children.1756, June 8 - William Jay to John Satterfield, 50 acres for five pounds lying on the N E side of the N. Fork of the Flatt River - part of a tract of land formerly granted to Wm. Jay by Deed from Lord Carteret, Earl of Granville; Orange Co. NC Deed Book 1, p. 229 (Land transfer to his son-in-law, John Satterfield, husband of daughter Sarah Jay.)1761, May 12 - William Jay to William Jay, Jr., 115 acres; "Register of Orange County, North Carolina Deeds, 1752-1768, and 1793", transcribed by Eve B. Weeks1765, May 14 - William Jay to James Jay, 120 acres; "Register of Orange County, North Carolina Deeds, 1752-1768, and 1793", transcribed by Eve B. Weeks (He gave this land to his son James at about the time of his marriage.)1767, October 3 - William Jay to Joseph Jay, 239 acres for ten pounds lying on both sides of N. Fork of Flatt River, joining Fords land on the west and James Jays on the East, beginning at a white oak on Hosea Tapleys -- white Oak on sd William Jay Senr - part of tract of land formerly granted to Edward Moore from Lord Earl of Granville, dated the sixth day of February 1761; Orange Co. NC Deed Book 3, p. 445 (He gave this land to his son Joseph at about the time of his marriage also.)These deed records basically verify that these are William's oldest sons as traditionally held by Eli Jay in his writings on the family given to him by his father when he was a young man. In 1771, William signed the petition to have Caswell Co. set off from Orange County, North Carolina. On Feb. 1, 1772, William and children were granted a certificate to move to South Carolina. His three oldest sons were married by then, William, Joseph and James. William died within the year. Mary remarried shortly thereafter because on Oct. 5, 1772, Mary Vestal Jay wrote an apology for having married out of unity and requested a letter of acceptance for the Bush River MM, SC records. Mary and William's five youngest children joined the Quaker church shortly after their move to Bush River. (C-1017) The birth of several of their children from John through David are recorded in the Bush River MM records for Newberry, South Carolina. Several of their children appear to have married in Newberry Co., South Carolina. William and Mary Jay are listed as residents of Berkley Co., Dist. 96, South Carolina. (C-457, p.104) William died shortly after moving to South Carolina from an accident. It occurred shortly before the marriage of his son John to Elizabeth Pugh. He is listed as deceased when his daughter Mary married Charles Patty on Mar. 11, 1773. His will was written on Nov. 23, 1772 and proven on Aug. 31, 1773. In it, he made bequeaths to his wife Mary and children John, David (underage), Mary, Rachel and Lydia. Son John was named Executor. His oldest children were not mentioned as he had already transferred them land. (C-169, 803, 958) William's descendants DNA is a match to descendants of the following Joseph Jay. This means they have a common ancestor in somewhat close range to each other. We simply don't know who it is. As a Revolutionary War soldier, we know that Joseph was born July 14, 1753 in Burlington Co. NJ. After the war, he lived in Hunterdon Co. NJ and died November 30, 1835 in Falls Township, Bucks Co. PA. His wife was Eleanor Nelson. In the Jay Family Index #4763, his father is listed as Joseph Jay. We do not know the source of this information but there is an adult Joseph Jay living in Burlington County, New Jersey as early as 1739 when he voted and is listed in election returns. This Joseph or his possible son Joseph likely account for an adult Joseph living in Nottingham Twp., Burlington Co., New Jersey in the 1758-1774 tax records for that territory. Family notes in this index from Joseph's (b. 1753) grandson, Douglass Hiles Jay, son of Nelson, says that it was passed down to him that Joseph's family came from England where they had had an estate. Here is the account of it available at : http://www.entechdesign.com/jaydna/jaydnastatus5.htm. "There are tantalizing notes found in the Jay Family Index concerning Joseph Jay (born 1753) is as follows: Douglas Hiles Jay, son of Nelson Jay [a son of Joseph born 1753] said Joseph Jay (Note - possibly the father of Joseph Jay [and Nelson's grandfather]) was born in England, and [Douglas] remembered a long conversation between Nelson Jay and his brother Smith Jay about an estate belonging to their father Joseph Jay in England, about papers that were lost, and of other papers in the effects of Joseph Jay, then deceased. This was also the remembrance of Mary W. (Jay) Butler, [wife of John W. Butler and daughter of Smith Jay]. The conclusions were that money was too scarce in the family to risk any chances of going to England to hunt it up. Joseph Jay had lent the little he had for the purpose of carrying on the war, and was so great a patriot that he would accept no return, and fearing that his children might do so, destroyed the papers showing the fact, and died a poor man....We are currently trying to 'run-down' the source and the context of this family tradition which did not appear in the original printing of the JFI." | JAY, William * (I15785)
