2501 James was an officer at the Sieze of Londonderry and was also in King William's army at the Battle of the Boyne. CURRIE, James (I17433)
 
2502 James was born in Almance Co., NC according to the Cane Creek MM church records. (I believe Almance was the same as Orange Co. then.) He was disowned for an unknown reason when marrying his Quaker wife on 1774,8,27 by Bush River MM. Hes wife had four sons and seven daughters. James still followed the faith and at 22 when the Revolutionary War started he moved to the back woods of Tennessee to avoid the war. He was again accepted back into the Quaker faith as a member of the New Hope MM in Green Co., Tenn. He moved with his family to Clinton Co., Ohio in 1808 where they were members of the Center MM and where he finished his days. (C-610) WRIGHT, James (I12135)
 
2503 James was disowned from the Quaker church in 1772 for "profane singing and dancing and offering to lay wagers." His wife and children remained in good standing. In 1773 he moved south into Bush River after his mother, Ann, remarried as Pugh. By 1777, he sold this land and he, and his family removed back to Hopewell in VA. They had at least 7 children. Their daughters names all included the name Ann. (C-1959) MCCOOL, James Jr. (I13661)
 
2504 James was listed 5th in father's will. According to the Jay Family Index, James came to Clinton Co., Ohio in 1805. Quaker records however, indicate that he was still in the Bush River Monthly Meeting area of SC in 1809, where he and hisy are listed in a visit from New Garden Monthly Meeting Members as James JAY and wife, Jemimah and children, Mills, Alexander, Mary, Rhoda, Layton, James, Ede (Edith), Dempsey, Isaac and Sarah.

He could easily be the James Jay listed as living in Newberry Co., SC in the 1800 Census with 4 sons under 10, himself from 26-45, 2 daughters under ten and his wife between 26-45. (C-922)

At any rate, he eventually settled on land belonging to his wife's uncle, George Arnold in Clinton Co., Ohio They moved to Center Meeting in Wayne Co., IN in 1822 and to Henry Co., Iowa in 1842. (C-800)
 
JAY, James (I15762)
 
2505 James was married at least twice, to 2 Sarahs. He highly likely had more sons than the 3 listed here and is also likely to have been born before 1706 as estimated from the 3 known children's approximated birthdates.

He is likely to be the James Young who noted his emigration in the following 1740 records. It doesn't mean that he emigrated at that time, but it was verifying that he emigrated to be able to purchase more land. James Young, emigrated 1740, Place Augusta Co., Virginia, Source Publication Code: 3816, Primary Immigrant: Young, James, "Annotation: Legal proceedings before Orange County Court, Virginia, where settlers proved their entitlement to enter public lands.

James Young had land which he was having surveyed by 1738 according to Chalkley, V 2. pg. (63) 9 ber ye 6, 1738, survey for James Young. James purchased 401 acres (possibly the same he had surveyed in 1738) in 1742 on Whistle Creek. Whistle Creek is in the southern half of Bordon's Grant and Bordon's Grant adjoined the southwest end of Beverly Grant. It was near the forks of the James River. It is about 20 miles south of where likely brothers - Hugh, and Robert lived on Back Creek starting in 1746 or 1749 respectively.

Just a bit later in court "Chaukley, Vol. 1, pg. 431, James Young's petition to administer on the estate of John Young, his brother and nearest heir, June 17, 1747." What is important about this line in Chaukley that has been previously misunderstood is that James was John's nearest heir, meaning John left no offspring or children to inherit his worldly possessions. By right of law, a man's goods went first to his children and if there were none, then his brothers would be the next in line.

He obtained additional land according to Chaukley, Vol. 3 (that was likely part of his brother John's estate) in the following record: Page 645.--28th February, 1749. Same to James Young, planter, 436 acres in Beverley Manor on Back Creek. Corner Robert Young; McFeeter's line; corner Andrew Pickens; corner Robert Campbell; corner Patrick Martin. Teste: John Wilson, John Gay.

In 1750, his neighbors are described in this Chaukley, V. 3 record: "Page 65.--29th November, 1750. Robert Campbell, Gent., to James Barrey, 149 acres in Beverley Manor, adjoining Glebe land; Wm. Martin's corner, Middle Br. Shanandoe; corner James Young; corner to a graveyard. Teste: David Stewart, Andrew Cowan, John Mitchell. In this same source and same year, James' son Matthew sells land he had obtained from his father: Page 160.--4th January, 1750. Mathew Young and Agness to Peter Wallace, 150-1/2 acres. Bought by James Young from Borden, recorded in Orange and conveyed by James to Mathew. On Whistle Creek of James River; corner to Low Todd. Teste: Joseph Lapsley, Richard Woods." This gives us an estimate on Matthews age as being born before 1730 if he was at least 21 at the time.

In 1753 court records, James is the James Young, Bordens land in the Clerk of Courts fee books. Another Chaukley record lists more of James' neighbors: Page 179.--23d March, 1754. John McPheeters to Wm. Martin, 198 acres, part of land Jno. now possesses. Cor. John McPheeters in James Young's line; cor. Robert Campbell's land, now James Berry's.

James lived within a few miles of a William Young whom owned a 100 acres which he purchased in 1756. This William was Sharon Jebavy's ancestor. He could be a son of either of the two early brothers who did not leave a will, namely this James or Hugh Young who both lived in Augusta Co., Virginia by 1738 and 1749 respectively. Their location was in Borden and Beverly Manor which was a few miles over the border from the property of William Young.

James's neighbors around Whistlestop Creek included at a later date, Charles Boyle, Saml & John McMurtrey, Samuel Todd, John Summers and James Davis. James Young sold 251 acres to Lou Todd in 1756 that bordered on his son, Matthew's land. Chaukley, Vol 3, "Page 744.--James Young, miller, to Lou Todd, carpenter. Delivered: William Todd, 16th May, 1756, 251 acres Fork of James, on Whistle Creek where Todd now liveth; corner Mathew Young. Teste: Arthur and Abraham Brown, James McCown." In that same year, James and Sarah Young, Patrick (his other son) and Isabella Young sold 110 acres, including the mill to Andrew Hall.

James died in the first half of 1760. "Chalkley's VIII, page 57, Will Book 2, Page 371.- 20th May, 1760. William Shannon's bond (with John Brown, Hugh Young giving surety) as administrator of James Young." "Chalkley's VIII, page 60, Will Book 2, Page 430.- 25th July, 1760. James Young's appraisement, by John Trimble, James Pol (Paul?), Morris O'Freal." (Note: The Trimble's lived on land adjacent to James Young's land of Back Creek.)

Both James C. and his brother John were siblings of the other somewhat early Youngs in Borden Manor. John and his brother James C. lived in Augusta Co., Virginia by 1738 according to early Orange Co. road records. They are not to be confused with the James and John Young of Naked Creek, Augusta Co., VA. It's the James of Naked Creek whose daughter married George Glenn who was also of Naked Creek. That James and John were first cousins to this James and John in Borden and Beverly Manor tracts of land in Augusta Co., VA.

John's land was the land located off Back Creek in Beverley Manor and James' land was the land located off Whistle Creek in the Borden track. To quote Janice McAlpine in email dated Jan. 14, 2010: "Their property was mentioned in an early survey book, "Hume's Old Field Book." This book was submitted as evidence in the case of Moffett vs. McPheeters (1799) in the Staunton District Court and remained in the case file for generations. The survey book is excerpted in Chalkley's Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement of Virginia; Vol 2, at pages 370 et seq., with the Young entries at Chalkley's pages 372 and 375. As can be seen from the survey information, John Young's land was on Back Creek. The location of James Young's land was not specified.*Chaukley (27) May 11th, 1738, survey for Ja(mes) Givins, beginning at John (see 29) Young, beginning at Tumble's Cor., Back Kreek. Sam. Walker's Cor., McAnaar's line. *(29) Survey for Saml. Walker, beginning at Jno. Young's Cor. ( ) on an island on Back Kreek. *(63) 9 ber ye 6, 1738, survey for James Young? Finley?

The following two Orange Co. road orders show that John Young's land was in the Beverley Patent, which is where Back Creek was located. James Young's land was in the Borden Patent, where Whistle Creek is located. *Orange County Road Orders 1734-1749, Ann Brush Miller, Virginia Highway & Transportation Research Council, Charlottesville, Virginia, 1984, revised 2004, online at http://www.virginiadot.org/VTRC/main/online_reports/pdf/85-r2.pdf*Page 39: "Book 2, Orange County Court Order Books 28 June 1739, O.S. p. 3 John Poage, David Davis and George Hutchison having according to an Order of Court viewed and laid off a road from Beverley Manner and made return of their proceedings to Court its ordered that the said road be cleared according to the Report made by said Viewers vizt That the said road be cleared from John Youngs at the North Mountain to the Top of the blue ridge to the bounds of Goochland County." *page 89: "27 November 1742, O.S. p. 304 On the petition of the Inhabitants of Bordens Tract for a road from where James Young lives on ye sd Bordens Tract to ye Gapp in the blue ridge of Mountains commonly called Michael Woods Gap Its ordered that the said road be cleared from the sd Youngs through the timber Grove from thence to ye foot of ye Mountain Leaving Patrik Campbells to ye northward continuing an Easterly Course so on ye south Side on ye south river to Samuel Davis' plantation thence to ye Gapp of ye Mountains And its further ordered that Francis McCowen Saml: Walker Captn John Buchannan Patk Hays Charles Campbell and Captn John Christian be hereby appointed Overseers of ye said road And that Colo James Patton be desired to lay off for each Overseer his precinct & Men to clear each precinct on ye sd road."

(The earliest that John and James could have been in Beverly and Borden was likely in 1737. Beverley got his grant of land in 1736. Borden received his initial grant about the same time with a promise of 100,000 additional acres if he brought 100 settlers into his part of Orange Co., Virginia. Beverley and Borden immediately began enticing and selling their Virginia territories to the Scots in Northern Ireland. They offered reasonably priced transportation for the settlers. A Captain James Patton set up a route and made 25 round trips taking tobacco and pelts to England and Ireland and returning with Scots-Irish settlers for these business men, Borden and Beverley. Borden offered 100 acres of land free to anyone who would settle and build a cabin. He made his money when they wanted additional acres. Later, he offered land deals to entice settlers to move to the Borden patent rather than remaining in Beverley's.

Of our two relatives, John would have bought his land and James' Borden land would have been at least in part free.) Janice McAlpine suspects they actually didn't receive their patents until the property was paid for. So it is possible that someone like John Young could have moved onto his land about 1738 and had a survey done, but still didn't have a clear title (patent) to the land when he died. That could explain why his name is missing from the early patent lists." To continue quoting her email: "There is no indication that James Young acquired land in the Beverly Patent before February 1749. Prior to that time, records place him on Whistle Creek in the Borden Patent, with an additional land acquisition there in 1747: *Chalkley's III, page 267: Circuit Court Will Book 2, Page 479.--- 18th March, 1747.

2506 James Whitney was appointed receiver of Newport by Henry VIII in 1522. His son, Robert, was nominated K.B. at the coronation of Anne Boleyn, but never actually received the title. Robert did, however, receive some of the revenues of the mery of Brewerwe in 1535. WHITNEY, Sir. James (I12531)
 
2507 James' family and James' wife were from Sussex, England. They had moved to Shropshire, England by the time he was born.

James is listed as shoemaker in the 1841 census in Dudley, Worcestershire, England. It could be why he moved often. His mother and brother Richard were buried 3 miles from Madeley in Benthall, Shropshire, England.

His only possible parentage in FreeReg.org is:

2508 James' name in every North Carolina first hand record is spelled James Calhoon. The middle name of Irvine is NOT his. The only reason I sometimes keep it in the tree is to have DNA Thru Lines to give me accurate DNA matches to my cousins. When I list him under his correct name, it only gives me 5 cousin matches and gives his wife Jean Johnston 33 matches. The name Irvine was given by a group that thought they descended from him in Georgia that is NOT a Y-NA match at all.

He is probably NOT descended from Rev. Alexander Colhoun as is listed in Clan Colquhoun's tree. I have studied the Big Block tree carefully with knowledge as an admin for the Coates group of which I descend, and know that significant errors have been made in ascertaining Rev. Alexander's haplogroup from that data. Tiffany has a huge job on her hands, and I'm sure will come to the same conclusions in the future.

We know the Colhoon's were from a very wealthy family in Ireland or Scotland and supposedly descended from Joseph of Arimathea in the bible.

Many believe they descend from Rev. Alexander through is sons James Patrick and Hugh m. to Agnes McLeary. However, Big Y tests from those descendants say they come from a branch of this same Colquhoun family further back in time. This is evidence through at least 2 testers for Hugh, and the same for James Patrick.

I now have documentary proof through wills and land records as well as Big-Y evidence through 2 descendants that I can verify Rev. Alexander left descendants via his son Alexander, gr.son, Alexander, and gr. grdson Crawford possibly under haplogroup E-MF104747. One tester is an orphan who does not know his tree. The other descends through Robert Hazlitt Calhoun whom has no documentary proof that he is the son of Charles Calhoun who is a proven descendant of Rev. Alexander through land transfers.

This family intermarried with cousins in most generations to keep the wealth in the family. Therefore, it is why we can find triangulations this far back in time.

My extensive land studies and DNA triangulation studies suggests our James would have been born in Ireland, Pennsylvania, Delaware or Virginia.

James is possibly first found paying tithes in 1748 in Lunenburg, Virginia suggesting he was born bef. 1728. He is again in the records in 1749. In 1752, he is listed as James Caldhound. I can't find any other "Calhouns" there at the time. http://files.usgwarchives.net/va/lunenburg/census/sun006.txt

In Jan. of 1755, James purchased 200 acres of the north side of Flatt Creek from William Forbush, Hugh Wiley, and James Gordon. It was Forbush's former residence. Wiley and Forbush had purchased the land in 1750. Witness were Jno. Jennings, Calliham and George Phillips. If this is our James, he was living in Lunenburg by 1748 when he paid tithes and 1749 when he was in another record. Hugh Wiley could be the same Hugh Wiley that shows up living near our James Calhoun married to Jean in Guilford Co., NC in a 1770's reconstructed tax record suggesting a connection between our James and this one. (It should be noted that Wiley and Forbush both moved to Orange Co., NC (near where this James showed up in militia rolls for 1770 and 1772) and then again as neighbors to James in Guilford Co., NC.

The Lunenburg James then shows up again on June 9, 1763, when James Calhoun bought 200 acres from Benjamin Burchit in Lunenburg Co., Virginia for 10 pounds on the south side of the North Fork of the Meherrin River. They are both listed from Lunenburg Co., Virginia at the time. A Mr. Cock and a Mr. Scott are listed as witnesses.

James and his wife Jane sell these 200 acres on Feb. 6, 1764, just a few months later to Everhard Downsing of Lunenburg. It was in the Cumberland Parish, of Lunenburg, Va and locate on the south side of the North Fork of the Meherrin River having been purchased by Benjamin Burchett in 1761. Both the wife of the original owner of the land, Eveling Burchett and Jane Calhoun reliquished their right of Dower to the land. Witnesses to this deed were John and Mary Scott Burchet and Benjamin Burchet (the original owner). Witnesses usually represent the wife's family meaning the Scotts might be representing Jane's family. It was recorded on Feb. 9, 1764.

Therefore, here is what I know about the witnesses: This couple is the closet match I could find to John and Mary Scott. John Scott b. 1731 of Orange Co., Virginia was married to Mary Hacket b. 1731. He was a member of the Committee for Safety for Orange Co., Virginia and gained the title of Captain. He was born and died in Orange Co., VA. He married his wife Mary Hacket in Caroline Co., VA where she lived. He would have to have dealings in Lunenburg Co. to be a witness there. They did name their oldest daughter Jane. Mary did not have a sister named Jane according to a couple family trees I checked. I was hoping that Mary would be a sister of Jane. Mar. 2, 1764, they sold 200 acres of what appears to be his original property for 25 lbs. to John Rogers in Cumberland Parish bounded by James Calhoun and Hugh Wiley. It was a dividing line between James Calhoun and James Gordon, John Williams, and William Cross. This time the witnesses were Jno Jennings, William Wallace and John Forest. I can find no obvious connection to Jane from these witnesses. This one wasn't recorded until Dec. 13, 1764. The information in this above paragraphs was provided by Candee Varville. Note: This could be the same Hugh Wiley of Guilford living near our James Calhoun who died in 1795 in Guilford Co., NC records.

James (paid 6 pounds) along with an Alexander Johnson (possible relative of his wife who payed 12 pounds) on the same page, is listed as paying tax demands of his excellency in May, 1770 in Rowan (Guilford), NC. Guilford was actually formed from Rowan in 1771. The persons on the list lived on the Little Alamance in Guilford Co., NC.

James apparently joined in the uprising called "War of the Regulators" which were citizens against the corrupt leaders in the Piedmont area who were lining their pockets with gold so to speak and taking advantage of their leadership roles. He apparently was one of the men that lived in Guilford Co. at the time. The culminating moment of the "War of the Regulators," occurred on May 16, 1771, just a few miles inside the Orange County boundary from Guilford County. This land later became part of Alamance County in 1849. *James Calhoon ~ [Guilford County, N.C., a Map Supplement, by Fred Hughes, published by The Custom House, Jamestown, NC, 1988; pp. 34-35. http://www.ncgenweb.us/guilford/Regulators.html. James is listed in a muster roll as a Private in 1772 meaning he was still part of the militia at that point in time.

In 1779, he or his son James, William and John Calhoun were all privates in the Guilford Co., NC militia.

In 1779 and 1783 he also received land grants in Guilford Co., NC. They are as follows along with 2 of his sons getting grants.

Calhoon, James 2 grants; 840 acres, 1779-1782
Calhoon, James, Jr. 1 grant; 300 acres, 1783
Calhoon, Samuel 1 grant; 200 acres, 1782 (His father also sold him land.)

While in Guilford, James employed a lawyer named James Irvin to manage his estate. Our James has been given the incorrect name of James Irvin probably from a misinterpretation of this record. No first hand records for him or his son James of Guilford, NC EVER gives him a middle name or middle initial.

In 1784 there is a William Calhoun (supposed orphan) who was born in 1766 and at age 18 was apprenticed to a blacksmith in Guilford Co., NC that might be a possible nephew or 1st cousin, once removed of our James Calhoun, probale son of William. He is listed as an orphan in Guilford records meaning that at least one of his parents had died by the time he was 18.

In 1782, James' son, Samuel, buys land in Guilford indicating he is at least 21 at the time. In 1783, James' son James is likely the person buying land there having also turned at least 21 years of age. In 1785, he deeded land to son Samuel.

Our James Calhoun is living in Guilford Co., NC in the 1790 census with 2 males over the age of 16 and 5 females. This fits he, his wife and youngest children easily. His youngest son would have been visiting one of his cousin's families most likely though as he's not listed in that record. It also means that 4 of his daughters were not likely married at the time. The other James Calhoun in the 1790 census that has 3 males over age 16 and 2 females living in his household instead is his son James. Guilford was formed out of Orange Co., NC. This second James was living within 2 houses of his son Robert Calhoun, 1 male under 16, 1 over 16 and 3 females.

James Pederson transcribed the following will of James Irvin Calhoun and published in on the web in a Message Board at Ancestry.com. Will of James Irvin Calhoun: Ent (Entry) A, Page 48

In the name of God amen. I, James Calhoun, of the County of Guilford in the State of North Carolina being of sound and perfect mind, memory and understanding (blessed be God) do, this nine and twentieth day of January 1795 make and publish this my last will and testament in manner following (that is to say).

First, I desire that all my just debts and funeral charges be paid. Secondly, I leave unto my wife Janet Calhoun a horse and saddle, two cows, two of the sheep, and what stock of hogs there is, dishes, bed and bedding, and house furniture to dispose of at her death and likewise her maintenance on the land during her natural life.

Thirdly, I give and desire unto my beloved son John Jonstone Calhoun the land on which I now live and him to pay unto my son Samuel Calhoun or his heirs the just sum of fifteen pounds. Fourthly I give unto my beloved daughter (unrecognizable) Calhoun two hundred acres of land lying on the head of Hog ...

2509 James, Sr. came from Warwick, Ireland in 1761 on the "Good Return" with 7 children. Four of them died at sea. After they settled in Virginia they had one more son and three daughters. (CL-300) Their children are thought to be James, S, Rebecca, Polly, John, Samuel (b. 1748?) and Robert. CURRY, James W Sr (I13061)
 
2510 Jane as a young women is listed in Uwchlan MM records (Chester Co., PA) as going to the Abington Monthly meeting on Nov. 4, 1779. (C-2140) COATES, Jane (I14718)
 
2511 Jane Cook lists his name as Dungan. (C-2065) DUGAN, William (I14524)
 
2512 Jane could be related to the line of Elwell's in the "Elwell Family in America." (C-194) There is a John Elwell who was born abt. 1717 in Salem Co., NJ and died there on Dec. 19, 1785 who time wise could be a brother. He was probably thef a John or Will living in New Jersey at the time. There are three Hesekiah Elwells of parental age in Maine Co., York Co. and Hancock Co. of the Maine Colony as well as one Nathaniel Elwey in South Carolina. (C-233)

Although I have several published books that say his 2nd wife was Jane Elwell, I have evidence from a series of land transactions in Philadelphia Co., PA from 1750 - 1764 that suggests that Jane's real name was Carter or that George was also married to a Jane Carter by 1751 instead.

In any case, Jane was still living and witnessed her son James Hollingsworth's marriage to Sarah Wright in 1786 in the Bush River Quaker Meeting Records. 
ELWELL, Jane (I12353)
 
2513 Jane is a descendant of the Royal House of Tudor and Kings Edward I & III. (C-437 p.568) PULESTON, Jane (I12600)
 
2514 Jane Robeson is listed as Thomas's wife in the IGI and OneWorldTree records. It is conjecture on my part that she died in Yorkshire county, England since her youngest child seems to have been born there and the family appears to have livee from that point on in the records. ROBENSON, Jane (I6326)
 
2515 Jane Rolfe was apparently the illegitimate daughter of Thomas Rolfe. She was born while he was married and having children with his wife. ROLFE, Jane (I11436)
 
2516 Jane was a member of Saint Pauls Church located on the highway Shadwell which is in London near Canary Wharf according to Jeffrey Insole. RANDOLPH, Jane (I8963)
 
2517 Jane was a Quaker. ROGERS, Jane Ann (I9010)
 
2518 Jane was a twin. She is listed as the daughter of William and Alice Mallory instead in Mary R. Mallory's late 1800's research. MALLORY, Jane (I8681)
 
2519 Jane was Edward Sutton's second wife. STANLEY, Jane (I13484)
 
2520 Jane was likely described as a Mulatto as was her husband at the time. I know from experience with my own family, that it was possible to straighten hair even in this time period. Jane (I1719)
 
2521 Jane's father is listed as John of East Nottingham in her marriage record. Her father's wife, Jane signs her name directly after Johns in the witness lists. (C-299, 1302) She is highly likely to be the Jane Coppock listed in the 1800 Newbensus record. There was a female over 45 and between the ages of 16 and 26, with 2 males between 10-16 and one under ten. Her four youngest children fit the ages of this household. If it is her, her husband, Joseph died between the time he wrote his will in 1799 and summer of 1800 when the census was taken. She moved to Ohio in 1807 with sons William and Jesse. (C-670, 931, 2254) WILSON, Jane * (I12052)
 
2522 Jane's name is also spelled Oistone. In 1701, Jane inherited 50 acres of "Austin". Her sister, Mary, received an equal share. In 1715, Mary and her husband, John Worleysmith, sold it to Denis Lary. Denis proceeded to sell it in 1717 toam Tharp, husband of Jane. This 100 acre section that was probably Jane's childhood home went to sons John and William who sold it to John Plummer when they moved to Kent Co., DE in 1750. (OISTONE) AUSTIN, Jane (I13390)
 
2523 Jane's surname is thought to be Johnson or Johnston after the middle name one of her sons. Autosomal cousin matches are supporting this.

Jean if traced correctly was of Virginia. James goes back through Rev. Alexander via one of his sons that came into Pennsylvania. James would have likely met Jean in Kent Co., Virginia before they married. http://bransoncook.systemaxonline.com/narratives/migration/migration1.htm

In Guilford Co., NC in militia records dated 1779, there are an Alexander Johnston, William Johnston, John Johnston, Gideon Johnston and Mordecai Johnston enlisted that could be leads for her relatives along with a James, William and John Calhoun. By age, they are more likely her nephews if she is a Johnston by birth.

JOHNSTON, Jean Jinette * (She did not have the same father as her half siblings) (I10021)
 
2524 Jangs is usually not mentioned as a child of William and Elizabeth. It could be a misinterpreation of William's son James. However, Jangs is given a unique death date and place also. (C-871) VESTAL, Jangs (I633)
 
2525 Jean refused to execute her husband's will by writing on Apr 14, 1788. (CL-468) REABURN, Jane (I8113)
 
2526 Jean was likely married to a Robert Curry from her father's will. She was deceased by the writing of the will on Mar. 15, 1788 and had left behind 3 daugters. MCCOMBE, Jean (I7780)
 
2527 Jehial lived at Stratfield. (F-436c) PRESTON, Jehiel (I12260)
 
2528 Jehu was possibly a member of the Bush River Baptist Church before 1820. He was having children in Boyd's Mills, Laurens Co., SC by 1829. Jehu moved to Dekalb Co., AL with his family in 1835. Though they are buried in Etowah Co., AL.s Dekalb Co., AL when they were buried there. He was supposedly a member of the Popular Springs Church in Dekalb Co. Michael Tucker, a current descendant visits regularly to keep their markers in good shape. (C-1594, 1992, 2080)

The following info was provided by Mary Abernathy Meyer to the Coates Discussion Group. "The father of Henry C. Coats (1829-1910) was Jehu Coats (1802-1854) of Newberry Co. SC who married Mary Polly Johnson (1811-1897) about 1826 in Newberry Co. South Carolina. Jehu Coats' father was Henry Coate. Jehu was a store owner who bought land in 1842; he wound up in Dekalb Co. AL. Jehu Coats' other children besides Henry C. Coats were Isaac T. (b about 1827 in Newberry Co. SC), Daniel P. (m Elizabeth Parker), Terrel J. (died in Civil War), John S., James A. (killed in Battle of Shiloh 1862), Cinderella F. (b 1844), Sarah Elizabeth, and Nancy (1850-1931) who married Patrick M Fraizer." 
COATES, Jehue (I14356)
 
2529 Jemima is age 47 in the 1850 census for Clinton Twp., Vinton Co., OH with a birth place of PA clearly listed. However, in the 1880 census, she and her parents are listed as being born in Virginia. That disagrees with her father and herr Abraham's census listing father Bartholomew's birthplace as Maryland. GASKINS, Jemima (I10405)
 
2530 Jenkin appears to have been called Justin Evans in his father's 1885 probate. EVANS, Jenkin (I15543)
 
2531 Jenor and her children received her husband's share of her father-in-law's estate in 1808, indicating that her husband, James, was dead by then. Their children were John B, James, Gabriel, Baley, and Richard who were minors along withs and Jenor the younger of age. (C-2024) In Mar. of 1821, she paid each of her children $61.90 for the their share of their father's 200 acres. Son, Thomas, was missing from the 1821 distribution of the inheritance. (C-2083) UNKNOWN, Jeanor (I8149)
 
2532 Jeremiah and his first wife, Joanna, requested removal to Westland MM, PA in 1793. Then on Apr. 26th, 1794 they requested membership in Redstone MM, Fayette Co., PA from the Westland MM, PA and Kingwood MM, NJ. They removed to the Miamirren Co., Ohio on the 2nd, 11th mo, 1810. By 1819, however, he had moved to Lick Creek MM, Vigo Co., Indiana along with at least 3 of his nephews through his brother Robert, Isaiah, Gabrial and Caleb. This is the Indiana branch of the Willson family. Jeremiah wrote his will on Dec. 20, 1828 and guardianship papers for his children were signed on Jan. 5, 1829. (C-740) WILLSON, Jeremiah Sr. (I15961)
 
2533 Jeremiah could have married more than once. There is a Jermiah Wood that married a Martha Feazle on Dec 7, 1829 in Bedford Co., VA. There is a Jermiah that marries Jane Preas on 12/29/1846 in that same county that also might be this Je. He is probably the Jeremiah Wood in Bedford County Census records in 1790, 1810, 1820 and 1840. In the 1810 one he is listed with 3 sons under age 10, 1 from 10-16, and he and his wife are between 26 and 45 years of age. They have 2 daughters under age 10, and 1 from 10-16. (CL-579) He and his wife, Mary Dooley Wood's cabin is still standing in what I am assuming is the National Park in Bedford County, Virginia. Jeremiah fought in the Revolutionary War with his wife's brothers. He was wounded at the Battle of Guilford Courthouse.

He is listed as the son of Thomas Wood, Jr. in Bass's "My Southern Family" at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mysouthernfamily/myff/d0067/g0000018.html. He is also named along with likely sister Rachel Gaskins in the will of Reubin Dolard in Bedford Co., Virginia in 1802. 
WOOD, Jeremiah (I9186)
 
2534 Jeremiah Gaskins who lived two houses from likely brother John Gaskins in Ohio Twp., Clermont Co., OH in 1830 is likely to be this Gaskins. He was between age 20 and 30 in the 1830 census, and between 15 and 20 in age in the 1820 censuss possible mother-in-law is living with him, age 30-40. They have 2 sons age 5 to 10 in the household. He was age 47 born in VA in the 1850 Clermont Co., Ohio census. Note that his supposed sister, Jemima was also age 47, b. PA in the 1850 census. GASKINS, Jeremiah (I10421)
 
2535 Jeremiah never married either. (F-499) DOUDE, Jeremiah (I270)
 
2536 Jesse and his second wife moved to Canada after their marriage in 1798. (C-740) WILLSON, Jesse (I16045)
 
2537 Jesse and his wife had 4 sons and 3 daughters. Jesse was a Lieutenant in Company L, 7th Regiment of Indianna Volunteers. He was living in Jay and or Randolph Co., Indiana in or before 1873. (C-748) UNDERWOOD, Jesse S. (I14675)
 
2538 Jesse lived in Union Twp., Miami Co., Ohio in the 1820 census and in Newton Twp., Miami Co., Ohio in the 1830 census. (C-1025) We know that Jesse married Anna Cothran from two sources, Hinshaw's Quaker Encyclopedia which lists both theirs and one of their children's marriage records. He sells his land in Miami Co., Ohio in 1836 and shows up in Pulaski Co., IN in 1837. He is in Hinshaw, Union M.M., OH when he marries and then disappears from Hinshaw's Quaker records. According to Alan Coppock, he left SC in 1805, moved to Ohio and then finally moved to Indiana in 1837. He had 6 sons and 1 daughter, plus 1wife, Anna, when they moved to Indiana. He built the 1st log cabin in Pulaski, IN where his next son was born in 1838 named Olvier D. He was elected one of the first three County Commissioners of Pulaski County in 1841.

Anna died before him. He married 2 other women before he died in 1851. He has a standing tombstone in that county that verifies this. 
COPPOCK, Jesse (I16241)
 
2539 Jesse Summers is named as an heir of the estate of John Coate in a deed where all of his heirs were selling bequeathed property. (C-1831) SUMMERS, Jesse M. (I13932)
 
2540 Jesse was the village blacksmith. He died when Herbert was 6 years old when he was killed by a falling tree. The home where he was born is located on Butter Rd, 1/2 mile from West Milton, Ohio (C-91, 1430, 2251c) HOOVER, Jesse Clark (I11816)
 
2541 Jesse was the youngest child of Moses Jr. Dr. Jesse owned much of the land of Coatesville, that was named after his grandfather. It did not become a town until Jesse Coate's time period. Jesse was a well respected citizen and prominentian who did much for his community. He began his practice as physican in 1818. A joint building for public worship to be used by the Episcoplians, Baptists, Presbyterians and Methodists was erected in 1832. He was one of three persons to whom this property was deeded and as such was a manager of the building.

He sold much of his land to enterprising persons who would further the development of Coatesville. (C-1601, 1615) His cemetery stone can be found in a current day backstreet of Coatesville, Pennsylvania. His death date on it does not seem to agree with the one published for him in 2nd hand sources. It appears to be 3/3/1868 instead but it is very difficult reading. However, sources like "The Pennsylvania Genealogical Catalogue: Chester County 1809-1870" state on August 8, 1868, VILLAGE RECORD, Death Notice COATES - On second day, the 3d inst., Dr. JESSE COATES, in his 73d year. 
COATES, Dr. Jesse (I14784)
 
2542 Jesse with his wife Jemina Hasket came from England before 1725. He died shortly after and by 1726 Jemina had remarried. She and Jesse had two sons which were then raised by her second husband and herself. (C-198) HASKET, Jesse (I13255)
 
2543 Jesse's name fit him well. He was remembered as a "harsh, stern and forbidding man." He was listed as age 10 in the 1850 Clarke Co., AL census records. (C-1599) COATE, Jesse Loveless (I14086)
 
2544 Jessie owned a beauty parlor in her home in Dayton, Ohio. Her daughter was remembered to be the operator. (CL-97) CLARK, Jessie Amanda (I11798)
 
2545 Jim believed his father was born in 1921, but his marriage application says he was born in 1923. He lived in Reedsville, Ohio and was in the U.S. Army at the time. HETZER, Arthur Lemoyne (I11)
 
2546 Jim Hetzer has a book titled Gospel Proclamation published in 1847 that was given to this A.D. Babcock by Dr E. Tiffany in 1880. He or she lists themselves as from Tupers Playns, Ohio. It gives his birthdate as Aug. 12, 1835. He is listed as of Kena or Kerra, Meigs Co., Ohio several places in this book.

2547 Joan became the heiress of her fathers' estate known as Hutton Conyers in Yorkshire, England. This is how Hutton Conyers came into the possession of the Mallory line. (F-628) CONYERS, Joan (I14349)
 
2548 Joan or Joanna was apparently well beloved by her husband, Llewelyn according to a fictionalized account of them in "Falls the Shadow". The fact that she was English, made her unpopular in Wales. Those who were close to her though loved hrly for her gentle, kind ways. Some of her step sons, Gruffydd, in particular, never liked her because of her English heritage. OF ENGLAND, Joan (Joanna) (I12495)
 
2549 Joan was a nun. NEVILLE, Joan (I682)
 
2550 Joan's grandfather was Lord Fitzhugh. (F-511) CONSTABLE, Joan (I14297)
