3001 Other Lamming families in Barbados prior to Anna's generation, were Dymock Laming, wife Ann, children: Edward, John, Charles Meade, chr. Mar. 2, 1778 (St. Thomas Parish), Margaret, chr. Nov.5, 1769 (St. Joseph Parish) and probably Dymock, George and Mary Ann Laming. (These last four children were not listed in Dymock's will dated 1781, but the last three are listed as nephews and nieces in Dymock's brother, Edward's will dated 1770. If they are children of Dymock, then they had most likely died by the 1781 date of his will.) This Dymock Laming, whose will was probated 25th Jan. 1781, could be a possible grandfather to our Ann Lamming. The most likely sons of his that would be a father to our Anna would have been Edward, John or Charles Meade.

The Edward mentioned as a first alternative on this page could have been Dymock's son Edward, brother to John and Charles Meade Laming. (F-201, 221) I have not been able to find a baptismal record for Edward.

Dymock's mother's name was Mary. 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)

3003 Our Albert E. Stevens was listed with the following occupations and residences in the Dayton City Directories: 1908: Mach. 218 N. Linwood at his father's residence, 1914: Painter, 234 S. Euclid Ave. married to Estella B., and 1921: G, 133 S. Eagle (Estalla). According to my father he and his family moved to Healdsburg, CA in 1923 where they lived out their lives. He is listed in Redmond, California in his father's obituary of Mar. 1922. His wife, however, died back here in my Aunt Martha Steven's Schmidt home when on a return visit 20 to 30 years after their move to California. They moved out to California because of her asthma. This is probably what killed her on her return visit to Dayton, Ohio. (C-1899, 1900, 2077) There is another A.E. (Ansel Edmond) Stevens living at 1810 E. 3rd St. in Dayton, Ohio the year that this Albert Edward was born whom is from a Stevens' family who is the son of Edmond Stevens that hales through Massachusetts and is of no known relationship to this Stevens' family. STEVENS, Albert Edward (I11906)
 
3004 Our Daniel was supposedly a war veteran. There was a Daniel Evans who achieved the rank of Private in Co. D, 179th Reg. of the Ohio Infantry. He enlisted on Aug. 29, 1864 and was discharged on May 15, 1865 with a lung complaint and a cd hand. His address was listed as Cora, Perry Twp., Gallia Co., Ohio. If he is our Daniel he either enlisted at a young age or we have his birth date estimated incorrectly. (CL-363) A Daniel who was born about 1846 was married to a Ceelia and had a young child in the 1870 Ohio Twp, Gallia Co., Ohio. He lived next to 66 year old Evan Evans and 61 year old David Evan. (CL-383) This is probably not our Dan, as family history passed down to Dan Evans from his Aunt Margaret said that Dan had no children. EVANS, Daniel (Dan) (I142)
 
3005 Out of John's children only his son, John might have a son James of an appropriate age to be ours. I've checked all the others and ruled them out either because their children are known or they were born too late to include our James. COLQUHOUN, John P. FTA41789 (I10691)
 
3006 Out of Robert's sons, only William is known to have sons. Robert's son James was 45 when he died so he likely had a wife and children also. The others had daughters that are known.

DNA is strongly suggesting that Robert Calquhoune is a distant ancestor of our James Calhoun, 1729-1790 of Guilford, NC through the following triangulations. The segments length is around the 3 cM range for my mother and these persons which would be correct for the early 1600's. However, because they are small, it's still possible that this is simply suggesting our ancient connection to the Colquhouns. It's the prolific number of triangulations that give this theory strength. These Calquhoun's are landed gentry with the title of Barony or Lords and Ladies showing up in some of this family.

COLQUHOUN, Sir Robert "Laird of Colquhoun Clan" * E-FT350465 (I10677)
 
3007 Owen Evan's birthdate and parentage have been in question since before my lifetime.

Here are choices for his parentage. A cemetery collection for Gallia Co. says he was from South Wales. That includes the following areas in Wales: Cardiff, Swansea, Newport, Glamorgan, Monmouthshire, Carmarthenshire, Cardiganshire, and Pembrokeshire.

He was born when it was not certain that his surname in the U.S. was a surname in Wales, particularly if he was from a farming or poorer background in Wales. Royalty had adopted surnames in the 1600's, the privileged in the 1700's and the rest took clear up to about 1837 for it to be a uniform practice.

Owen O. Evans could mean Owen was the son of and Owen and grandson of an Evan with no surname known. It could mean he was the son of an Evan with no surname known. However, the only records of baptism for an Owen in South Wales suggest that his family had adopted surnames at the point of his birth.

Here are the only possibilities I have found at freereg.org.uk that is for a twenty-year range from 1790 to 1810 for an Owen Evans if he was born in South Wales. Note that he would be much older than his age was listed in the census records. He would have lived well into his 90's if this is him.

County Carmarthenshire
Place (Links to more information) Carmarthen
Church name (Links to more information) St Peter
Baptism date 25 Dec 1791
Person forename Owen
Person sex M
Father forename John
Father surname EVANS

The second possibility I have found is that he is the son of David below and born in the same county where he first married. This makes more sense to me.

County Cardiganshire
Place (Links to more information) Llansanffraid
Church name (Links to more information) St Bridget
Register type (Links to more information) Parish Register
Baptism date 05 Aug 1804
Person forename Owen
Person sex M
Father forename David
Mother forename Elizabeth
Father surname EVANS
Transcribed by Glen Jenkins
File line number 94

The census records suggest he was born from 1797-1800. It's not a good match for either.

Owen Evans was a farmer owning $400.00 of Real Estate and $200.00 in personal estate in the 1860 Jackson Co., Ohio Census records. He was not able to read or write. (CL-266) He was in the Civil War along with several of his sons. Owen enlisted on Oct. 15, 1861. In the 56th regiment, he fought at Shiloh and Vicksburg.

Owen came to this country between 1839 and 1842. This is from "Passenger and Immigration Lists Index, 1500s-1900s". In it, it states, "Owen Evans Year: 1839-1842, Place: Ohio, Family Members: Wife Eleanor James; Child William; Child Jane; Child David O., Source Publication Code: 4022.20, Primary Immigrant: Evans, Owen, Annotation: Date and place of first mention of residence in the New World. Place of origin in Wales and other genealogical information are also provided. This section of the book is called Appendix D, which is not paginated. The editors assigned page numbers beginning with 271 and ending with 294 for this portion. Source Bibliography: KNOWLES, ANNE KELLY. Calvinists Incorporated: Welsh Immigrants on Ohio's Industrial Frontier. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1997. pp. 271-294. Page: 279."

I have not been able to locate them in the 1841 census for England which leads me to narrow their entry in the United States as from 1839-1841. We also finally have an entry for their immigration in Baltimore Passenger Lists, dated Sep 1839 where Owen (age 40), Ellinur (age 38), David (age 7), Jane (age 5) and William (age 1) are entering the U.S. He is listed as a farmer. They are listed as traveling from England to the U.S.

There were other Evans here at that point that had come separately and might possibly be his brothers: Evan Evans (-d. 1840) and Thomas Evans. (CL-361) Thomas was born about 1809 in Llanon, Cardiganshire, South Wales and came to Gallia County in 1834. He immigrated with his wife Margaret F. His children were Daniel Thomas Evans (b. 1834), David Milton Evans, John Hughbert Evans, and Margaret (Maggie) Evans. (CL-2, EL)

There is a second Evan Evans living in Ohio Twp., Gallia Co., in the 1870 census who was age 59 from Wales. His wife's name was Eliza. The third Evan Evans, age 66 in Perry Twp., Gallia Co., Ohio, in 1870 was also from Wales. The fourth Evan was Evan D., age 55 in 1870, Raccoon Twp., Gallia Co., Ohio. He was a farmer born in Wales whose wife was Elizabeth. He was living next to a Danny Evans, age 24 born in Ohio and a David Evans, age 61, b. in Wales. (CL-383)

There is a Daniel Evans who was naturalized in Gallia Co., Ohio on Sept. 6, 1860. It should be noted that Owen named a son Daniel. (CL-358)

A David D. was naturalized on Nov. 3, 1858 and a William W. Evans naturalized on Oct. 22, 1864 from Wales who are also possible brothers. This last William listed could be his son instead of his brother. (CL-358)

In Llansandffraid Parish where Owen's son David was born in 1832, the following Evans are having children about the same time and again could be his brothers: James Evans m. to Mary David; Thomas Evans m. to Catherine Evans; Evan Evans m. Katherine Jenkins; Daniel Evans m. to Margaret Morgan; John Evans m. to Jane Rees; David Evans m. to Margaret Evans; Jenkins Evans m. to Margaret Jones; John Evans m. to Anne Jones. (CL-677, 678) There are also deaths of possible relatives: Jenkin Evans, age 80, d. Jan. 11, 1834 and (Evan?) Evans d. Dec. 12, 1834, age 50. (CL-678)

A Derek Hyett from the country, New Zealand, has Evan's ancestors that could be connected to Owen Evan's lineage. He has a Jenkin and Judith Evans from Llanon, Wales who were the parents of an Owen Evans, b. abt. 1780. Owen is known to have had a daughter Mary b. abt. 1802 who married a Lewis in Lansantffraid, Wales. Our Owen could, by timing and place, be the brother to this Mary Evans and son of Owen Evans. It's just a lead at this point, and is in no way proven. (CL-422)

Our Owen's wife, Eleanor James, was a person of fine character. She was a member of the Mount Carmel Church. (CL-DOC-4)

Information about his sons is difficult to discern as Evans is a popular name in Gallia Co, Ohio. I will, therefore, list the information that I have been able to find on persons that could be sons of Owen Evans.

1. Information on David O. Evans is presented on his family group sheet.
2. A William W. Evans from Wales was naturalized in Gallia Co, Ohio on Oct. 22, 1865. (CL-163) That is the only information that has shown up about a William in Gallia Co., Ohio
3. Evan O. Evans, b. 1841, D. Aug. 13, 1935, lived in Thurman, Ohio. He enlisted in the army on Oct. 15, 1861 at Portsmouth, Ohio. (Same day as his father) and was discharged June 30, 1865. He was in Co. E., 56th Regt., O.V.I. as a private. He was with Grant at Champion Hill and other engagements in the opening of the Mississippi. He was taken prisoner for the last few months of the war. He was carried as a prisoner to Tyler Texas until the close of the war. He outlived all his other comrades of the 56th. (This information about Evan O. Evans definitely applies to Owen's son. There is a discrepancy about birth and death dates from various 2nd hand sources.) (CL-Doc-4)
4. Multiple entries for John Evans show that there are several persons by this name of a similar generation. John D. Evans, b. Jan. 19, 1844, d. Jan 19 1864, in Charleston, W. Virginia. Buried in Oak Hill Cemetery, Jackson Co., Ohio. In the Civil War, Co. K, 34th VA. Cavalry. (CL-167) John E. Evans, address Raccoon Twp., Gallia Co, OH was buried in Tyn Rhos Cemetery, Perry twp., Gallia Co, Ohio. His widow, Mary Evans, resided at Thurman, Ohio after his death. He served in the army during the Civil War. Enlisted Mar 25, 1864 and was discharged Mar. 25, 1865. Co., E, 95th Regt., PA Inf. (CL-168) A John Evans married Malinda Scruggs on Feb. 14, 1865 in Gallia Co., Ohio. (CL-169) (He was the son of William O. and grandson of Owen. A John Evans married Jane T. Davis on June 28, 1866 in Gallia Co., Ohio. (CL-169)
5. There are very few entries for a Daniel Evans which would be anywhere close to the right age of our Daniel. The entries below are only slightly possible and don't necessarily fit with family tradition. Daniel Evans married Jane Evans, Feb. 2, 1863 in Gallia Co, Ohio. (CL-169) In the 1890 census for Perry Twp., Gallia Co., Oh there is a Daniel Evans who was born in Wales in July of 1830 and emigrated in 1844. His wife's name was Mary. They had been married for 40 years. She emigrated in 1837. If anything, this is a possible younger brother to Owen Evans. (CL-255)

3012 Paul Peck was born in England, anywhere from 1608 to 1623. Ira Peck in A GENEALOGICAL HISTORY OF THE DESCENDANTS OF JOSEPH PECK states that it is believed he came to Boston in 1635 from Essex Co, England in the "Defence". No proof has bend to support this knowledge. He came to Hartford, Conn. in 1639 though not as an original proprietor. When he died in Hartford on 23 Dec. 1695, his age was recorded as 87. Jacobus believes this to be in error as he would have been too old for his wife and children and as he listed his age in the 60's in a 1683 reference. He was almost always referred to as "Deacon Paul Peck". He was the first preacher in Weathersfield, CT. Jacobus and Savage are also related to this Paul Peck through his son Paul and granddaughter Ruth who married Samuel Sedgwick, Jr. The 10 children listed here are the children as Jacobus has researched them. They differ slightly with early versions of Savage and Ira Peck's book above for reasons explained in "The American Genealogist" vol. 9, p. 82-89 & 154. In Paul's will, he lists his eldest son, Paul and grandson Samuel Peck (who lived with him). Samuel was to make payments to Paul's son-in-law, Joesph Benton and granddaughter Ruth Beach. His wife is to be paid annually by his sons (Paul and Joseph Peck), and four daughters, Martha Cornwell, Mary Andrews, Elizabeth Howe of Wallingford, and Sarah Clarke. Sons Paul and Joseph, and son-in-law John Shepherd were executors. A possible sibling to Paul Peck, is William Peck, b. 1604, London. He died in Old Lyme, Ct. on Oct. 4, 1684.

3018 Pepin "the Short" had at least four sons and five daughters according to Chris Kame at 78355@aol.com. He, like his father, was the mayor of the Palace. He became the first King of the Franks of the second race after deposing the last oferovingian Kings (Childeric III?). In the beginning, he shared this title jointly with his brother, Carlomen, then alone. He basically had himself crowned king with the blessing of Pope Zacharie and Archeveque de Mayence, Boniface II in 751 and held this title from 751-768. He was the founder of the dynasty of Carlogien Kings. Of course, he obviously paid the heads of Rome back, as he forced the Lombards to give the exachat of Ravenna to Pope Etienne II in his position as King. In 760-767 he victoriously waged war with the Duke of Acquitaine. When he died, his kingdom was split between his sons, Charlemagne and Carloman.

3023 Per Lewis W. Griffin: The will of Walter Colepepir mentions daughter Elizabeth Welford, and the will of Walter's wife, mentions daughter Elizabeth, wife of Thomas Wylford.

3026 Peter and Joyce did not have any children listed in "The Early Friends Families of Upper Bucks" by Clarence V. Roberts, c. 1925. However, a recent copy of the marriage record for Moses Coppock and Martha Lester found by Patti Sue McCrarys that Martha Lester is the d. of Peter Lester, yeoman (farmer), of Richland Twp., Bucks Co., Pennsylvania Since this is where Peter lived during his adulthood, it makes perfect sense that this is the Peter who is Martha's father by timing and place. His own father, Peter, would have been near 80, and probably not listed as a farmer -- even if he was still living at the time. Peter was deeded 200 acres of his father's land in Richland on May 15, 1721, in the area known as the great swamp. It is highly likely that his father was living with him for over a 20 year period since the elder Peter had deeded away all of his 600 acres to his son-in-laws and son a good twenty years before his death. Land records need checked for Peter Jr. as the "Early Friends Families of Upper Bucks" states that he sells this land at 2 different times - in 1724 and 1741. He had purchased 204 additional acres in 1739 on Cooks Creek near Durham, Springfield Twp., Pennsylvania. That land was sold in 1742 suggesting to me that he had possibly died at this time. LESTER, Peter (I15968)
 
3027 Peter was a shoemaker by trade. (F-627) MALLORY, Peter (I13130)
 
3028 Peter's birth date and christening are in discrepancy. He could have been born in 1767 or 1770. He was christened on Oct. 21 in 1767 or 1770. His question of parentage is discussed later. The 1767 date comes from his gravestone. The 1tes come from Church records at Oley Hill, District Twp., Berks Co., Pennsylvania. Peter and his family came to Montgomery Co., Ohio from Berks Co., Pennsylvania supposedly between 1816-1818. All of his children claim to have been born in Pennsylvania on their census records. His youngest children seem to have been Jonas b. circa 1814 and Rheuben, b. abt. 1816. If Rheuben's birth date can be ascertained factually, then their migration to Ohio would be more certain. They first settled in Washington Twp., Montgomery Co., Ohio and lived there in the 1820 census. (C-1025) In 1827, they lived in Bethel Twp., Miami County. By the 1830 census, they had moved to Monroe Twp., Miami Co., Ohio. (C-134b) They sold land in this township in 1831 and moved North to Dublin Twp.., Mercer Co., near Rockford, Ohio where he was a farmer. It was land in the Godfrey Reserve. (C-135, 261, 357) He is listed in Mercer Co., in the 1840 census. Peter Harp's grave was still visible in 1982 in the Old Frysinger Cemetery, on the Shindeldecker (Shingledecker) farm at the end of Godfrey Reserve Rd., Northeast of Rockford, Ohio off Godfrey Reserve Rd., Mercer Co., Ohio. When it was visited by Betty R. Snyder of Foster City, California, it was flat on the ground and covered with weeds. It's dates were still readable. (C-181,387) One of Peter Harp's son, Amos, is likely to have been the Amos Harp that purchased land, section 30, in Noble Twp.., Auglaize Co., Ohio in 1849. (C-254) Peter Harp's wife is listed as Catherine and his mother as Maria Catherine in some sources. (C-181) Tom Harp of Sidney, Ohio believes his wife's name was Elizabeth Engel. As Tom has researched in Berks County on multiple occasions, I am inclined to believe this source most. There is also a possibility that he had a previous marriage which was recorded on 22 June 1796 to Elizabeth Hillegass. No proof exists that this is a marriage to our Peter Harb. (C-357) As to Peter's heritage, family tradition as presented in a Harb family reunion book dated July 31, 1909, hands the oral tradition down this way from the older members of the family: Great, great grandfather came in 71 or 72 from Germany and located in Berks Co., Pennsylvania. He cleared a few acres and went back to the Hesses after his family: a wife and 13 sons. (This written tradition believes they were Hessens. A great-great granddaughter of Peter calls them "High Dutch" from Pennsylvania.) They were hired as mercenary soldiers for King George III. However, when they got here, they deserted to the American cause. (C-43) General Washington made the great grandfather and his 6 oldest sons commissioned officers. All 14 men fought in the Revolution. (C-309, 539) After peace returned, these Harp's scattered moving to New Jersey, the lakes of Erie, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia. Some of the younger generation came to Ohio in the 1820's from Pennsylvania and settled between Miamisburg and Germantown in Montgomery Co., in Miamisburg, Farmersville, Germantown and Dayton. Peter moved to Ohio between 1814-1816, 3 to 4 miles south of Dayton, then to Tippecanoe City and lastly to Mercer Co. All these Harp's came from the original immigrant who lived and died in Berks Co., Pennsylvania. (C-309) My father was told as a child by these older Harp family members that the Harp's were originally French Huguenots that went to Germany to live during troubled times and then later immigrated to America. The parents of Peter Harp, although listed here as Jacob Harp and Maria Catherine, are really still uncertain. The branch that is carried in family group sheets is the most likely line due to timing. It has not clearly meshed with the "traditional oral" history as passed down in our branch at this time. The biggest problem is that 13 sons can not be found in one family or in the American Revolution from one place. Pennsylvania, even as early as 1790, only has one Harb family living in it. In the 1790 census there were 25 Harp or Harpe families living in the U.S. with an average family size of 4.3, with 108 total members. Besides the one family in Pennsylvania, six families lived in New York, six in Maryland, one in Virginia, ten in North Carolina and one in South Carolina. (C-314) Revolutionary War Records have revealed this pattern. The most Harp's in the war enlisted in Virginia: Abner, Arthur, Henry, Joseph, Mathew, Mills, Nehemiah, Samuel, and William (all being born in the 1740's). Several were from North Carolina: Two Josephs, Richard (b. 175?), Sgt. Mjr. Matthew, and William (b. 175?). Connecticut had two: Ahaz (b.175?) and Elias (b.174?). A William Harp signed the oath of allegiance to Maryland during the Revolution in Montgomery Co., Maryland and Michael Harps, in Frederick Co., MD. (C-316) A Peter Harp, Abraham, John Harp and Henry (b.1735, PA) Harp served in the third Ulster Co., N.Y. Militia, under Colonel Levi Pawling in the Revolutionary War. Lastly, a John Harp (b.175?) is in the Delaware War Records. (C-310, 315-318, 714, 2458) There are other Harp's that might eventually connect to our Peter instead. A Peter E. Herb and Peter Herb came to America in 1749 from Rotterdam. A Johannes Herb came to America from Rotterdam in 1734. An Abraham Harp immigrated to Pennsylvania in 1765 (C-313). A Petrus Harp (who married Antje De Pue in 1749) and Henry Harp, from Rochester, N.Y., served in the Indian War of 1757. A John Harp was living in Philadelphia in 1746. An Abraham Harp (1816-?) who lived in Farmersville, Montgomery Co., Ohio was the son of Jacob & Elizabeth Bowman Harp and grandson of Frederick Harp of Berks Co., Pennsylvania. Virginia Harp's probably got their start from two immigrants in the second half of the 1600's named Richard and Henry. (C-313) Most of this information is from miscellaneous records from Lyndon Harp, 9110 Carrari Ct., Alta Loma, Calif. 91701 (C-306), THE BOSTON TRANSCRIPT, Nov. 24, 1919, #7370. (C-310) and Beers' "History of Montgomery Co., Ohio", p.342-343. (C-311) Also see (C-394 & 395) for additional information. HARP, Peter * (I12610)
 
3029 Phebe probably accounts for one of the individuals living with her mother when Martha applied for 300 acres of land in Newberry/Berkeley Co., SC in Dec. 1767. If so, she is likely not yet married at the time. (C-2289) After she marris Pugh, they had the following children: Jesse (1774), Kitty (1776), Thomas (1778), Ebner (1780), James (1782), Azariah (1784), and Ellis (1786) in Bush River, Newberry Co., South Carolina. Though Phebe's death date has not been found, it is likely that she died before 1802 when an Ellis Pugh and his wife Rachel moved from Newberry to Miami Co., Ohio COPPOCK, Phebe (I15729)
 
3030 Phebe was not listed in her father's will. She was born on 14d 3m1709/10. (C-1304d) COPPOCK, Phebe (I256)
 
3031 Phebe was quite a few years older than her husband according to their gravestones. (CL-501) WARD, Pheobe (I8457)
 
3032 Phebe, listed as Phobe Massey, now Coppock, in a Mar 25, 1730 deed was listed as a relict of Thomas Massy, late of Marple, dec. and Henry Lewis of Haverford, yeoman. She and Henry Lewis sold a lot to Henry Camm that they had receivede will of Thomas Massey is March 1707/1708. In other words, she was the widow of Thomas Massy before she married Bartholomew. Her second husband, Bartholomew, was a witness to the deed. (C-2137) She died on 27d, 12m, 1749/50. MASSEY, Phebe Taylor (I15731)
 
3033 Pheobe, if she is the daughter of Thomas and Mary Billingham, had brothers named Emanuel and Samuel who lived in the Dudley, Worcestershire/Staffordshire area also. Her place of birth, her age, and the names Samuel and Mary for her motheg carried down to her children suggests this is a viable match. BILLINGHAM, Pheobe (I10171)
 
3034 Philip acceded to the throne of France in 1060. He was thought to have conceived of the first Crusade, but was excommunicated previous to this. His brother, Hugh Magnus, led the First Crusade instead. (C-1370) KING OF FRANCE, Philip I "The Fair" (I14067)
 
3035 Phillip was disowned by his father for three reasons. He married a daughter of a "Dunker" minister, became a Dunker and was a pacifist in the American Revolution. That meant he lost his land in Randolph County, North Carolina. He and he moved with her brothers to Bedford Co., PA between 1786-1791. He returned to Randolph Co., NC by 1791 where he lived on the Sandy Creek Waters. In 1799, he purchased 640 acres of land on Sandy Run on the Yadkin River. He sold this land just before 1820 when he moved out of the county, probably with one of his children's families to what was thought to be Davies Co., Indiana. (C-2420) HARMON, Phillip Jacob (I7603)
 
3036 Please note that in this particular family, the christening dates occur in groupings and are not likely to coincide with the children's birth dates. One christening occurs 9 days before the christening of his son Christopher. Thomas Forte, a negro slave, property of Doctor Samuel Forte, was christened 21 June 1789 in St. Thomas Parish. (F-221) Samuel Forte's title was Esquire of Fortevilla, Barbados.

Doctor Samuel Forte is listed as having served as a representative in the House of Assembly for St. Thomas from the years 1787 till 1803. His brothers are listed as younger brother Nathaniel who was Speaker of the House of Assembly sometime in the early 1830's, and Christopher Forte, Esq. who died in 1830 in St. James Parish. It is interesting to note that Emancipation of the slaves took place in Barbados in 1833 while Nathaniel was speaker of the house. (F-189)

In Barbados deed records show Samuel Forte, Doctor, deeded 38 acres bounded by lands of Mrs. Chick, Matthew Johnson Seale, Galniel Reeves of St Thomas to Christopher Forte, Doctor and Surgeon. (F-255) Vol. 263, p. 413. A video tape of this deed is in the custody of Linda Coate Dudick.

Dr. Samuel Forte also left a will that is in the custody of the Archives in Barbados. It is here transcribed. "Barbados: This is the last will and testament of me Samuel Forte of the Parish of Saint Michael in the island above said named this twenty-ninth day of November One Thousand Eight Hundred and Thirty Four. I direct that my just debts and funeral expenses may be fully paid and satisfied. I give and bequeath to my two grand daughters Mary Forte Millard and Caroline Anna Millard (children of my daughter Sarah Millard) all my right title and interest in and to my apprenticed labourers, John, Jack Duke, John Richard, Betty Dick and Rachael together with all my plate household stuff and furniture and all other my property, real and personal to be equally divided between them share and share alike, and in case of the death of either of them, I give the whole to the survivor and her heirs. It is my will and desire that my apprenticed labourer Hannah shall be discharged from her apprenticeship and set free from all kind of servitude. I do hereby nominate and appoint my brother Nathaniel Forte and my son-in-law John Millard Executors of this my Will revoking and making void any and all former will or wills by me at any time here to for made. In testimony whereof I have affixed my hand and seal the day and year above written." (Probated on Feb. 5th 1840) (F-191) (Note that his son Christopher, died shortly before the writing of this will)

Descendants of this Samuel and Jane moved to Cape Colony in South Africa. (F-462) There is a possibility that Samuel married three times, as there are two other marriage records to Samuel's that are unconnected. Samuel Forte to Susanna Carmichaell on Mar. 17, 1791 in St. Thomas Parish and to Elizabeth Williams on July 30, 1822 in St. Michaels Parish. (F-224) This would fit the Samuel's places of residence and dates. The will has no wife listed, so it doesn't discount it.

There is an interesting story that occurred to another young Samuel Forte who was living in Barbados at the time. At an election party, a young soldier, Lieutenant John Cage was, in jest, hit on the back by a Mr. Samuel Forte. A fight followed. Lieutenant Cage was not forgiving and demanded that a duel be held in lieu of an apology. Mr. Forte of "good family and high social position" accepted the duel and shot Cage dead. When the military tried to arrest him, he was taken into hiding by "Aunt Peg" of General William's family at the Welchman Hall plantation. He is said to have escaped the island after receiving "Aunt Peg's" help and lived the rest of his life abroad. This particular story coined the phrase "AS DEAD AS CAGE". (F-162) 
FORTE, Esq. Samuel * (I15939)
 
3037 Pollard and Emelia are listed as grandchildren in their grandfather, John Hickman's will. Pollard married Patsy Smith and had the following children: William Duval Coates, Wiley Burton Coates, Wyatt Rankin Coates, Seleta Caroline Coateston Smith Coates, Warren Glover Coates, Waverly Pinckney Coates, and Wayne S. Coates. He has matching DNA to a Gabriel Garrett Coats, b. 1801 in SC and Daniel Coats, b. 1804 in North Carolina who also lived in South Carolina. Pollard Coates moved to Holmes Co., Mississippi before he married. He is in Pike County on the 1820 census. Pollard shows up in Mississippi about the same time as Elijah and Austin Coates, whom Robbie Landry theorizes are also related. They all came from the same place in South Carolina. The way I am theorizing the breakdown, is that Elijah is older than Pollard and a step-brother to Pollard. Elijah's son Austin would be Pollard's cousin if my theory is correct. COATS, Pollard Hickman (I6884)
 
3038 Possible fathers in Probate records were Abraham, George H., Gideon B., and Joseph. SOMMER, Katherina C. (I6590)
 
3039 Possible great grandparents or grandparents of Jane Neblett are John and Jane Halford Neblett or William Neblett, all listed in Jane Halford's mother and William Neblett's grandmother, Mary Halford's will, proved 27 Aug. 1718 in St. Tharish, Barbados. (F-163)

From early Deed index's we find a Robert Nesbitt purchasing land in 1640, a William Neblett in 1693 and a William Neblett in 1704. I did not have time to look these up when in Barbados. (F-251) These William Nebletts are probably one and the same. They are likely the William who in St. James Parish left a will in Oct. 1713 naming sons John, Thomas, Henry, Samuel and Benjamin, all of age. Any of these sons could be ancestors of our Jane Neblett.

There is another William Neblett alive in 1714 that is married to Mary Wattkins and is young enough to take over the care of Mary's brother's children at his early death. (F-163) Previous research has suggested that Jane died before 1834. However, Claude James Forte's lineage which is quite accurate gives her death date as 1839. I personally believe that to be her husband's death date instead at this point in time. (F-604) 
NEBLETT, Jane (I15924)
 
3040 Powell was one of the siblings that purchased Troy lots 102, 110-111 in 1830 that were in Miami Co., Ohio He was living in Madison Twp, Montgomery Co, OH in the 1830 census. JOHN, Powell (I8561)
 
3041 President Hoover was born in a 7 by 13 foot, bare floor bedroom. The only other room, about the same size, was kitchen, parlor and dining room combined. He grew to the age of ten in the community of the West Branch of the Quakd Cedar Meeting at nearby Springdale. It had been settled only a generation earlier by Quakers including Hoover's grandparents. By age 10, both of Hoover's parents had died and he was sent to live with relatives in Oregon. Of his childhood home, he said: "The most vivid and joyous recollections of my Iowa boyhood days are of patient angling in Iowa streams for the very occasional fish with willow pole and a properly spatupon worm." By the time he was President he had become a self-made millionaire businessman and public official. Seven months after he took office, the stock market crashed, and the rest of his presidency revolved around the depression. Many of the proposals he made to counteract the depression were thrown out by congress, only later to be accepted and successful policies under President Roosevelt. He was a reserved man with a quiet sense of humor. He enjoyed fishing, hiking, and reading biographies. His family of Quaker background. (C-113) In a newspaper article of the Sunday, New York Times, dated Oct. 24, 1964, it describes our country's preparations and mourning for the death of the 31st President of the U.S., Herbert Hoover. He was to be buried the next day at the 28 acre home that is the site of his library, his pine clapboard cottage home and his father's blacksmith shop. The Republican Presidential nominee, Barry Goldwater, was expected to attend the funeral, a turnout of 50 Persons of state including President Taft's two sons, as well as a complete turnout of the townspeople who have special memories of Herbert Hoover. (C-271) HOOVER, Herbert Clark (I11827)
 
3042 Priamus is known for introducing the New Covenant and the Saxon language to his people. (C-1346) PRIAMUS, King Of Sicambri (I16585)
 
3043 Priscilla and her husband had no children before she died in 1854. (C-748) UNDERWOOD, Priscilla Jane (I14699)
 
3044 Priscilla and Peter Brown had multiple children as mentioned in the power of attorney of Priscilla's father in the PA Gazette in 1746/7. We do know that she was a Quaker. (C-1738) COATS, Priscilla (I15079)
 
3045 Priscilla was granted a certificate to the Gwynedd Monthly Meeting from the Falls Monthly Meeting in Bucks Co., Pennsylvania a few months after her marriage on 8/7/1747 suggeting her family lived there.(C-1682) HUTCHINSON, Priscilla (I14792)
 
3046 Prisilla Turner was supposedly related to and perhaps a sister of the (John?) Turner (and James Coate, son of Big John) that was in an incident that ended in the death of a Mr. Cox. Mr. Cox was possibly a Quaker as some members of the Bur Monthly Meeting held that name. Mr. Turner was placed in the stocks for a day, whilst James fled the area, never to be heard of again in South Carolina. (C-1842) She died after 1820 when she and her husband and 2 Gaskins (daughter and son-in-law?) sue her son-in-law Henry and their daughter, Henry's wife, for some debt involved in the estate disbursement of Benjamin's father, William. (E) A summary of this record follows as forwarded by Charlotte Coats."LDS Film # 24219 FiledJune 30, 1819 Box 45, No. 11Priscilla Long, John Gaskins, his wife Decree - Bill of DiscoveryJudge Henry DeSaussureSarah Gaskins, and Benjamin F. Long Partition, Distribution & ReliefVsHenry Coate, Polly Coate his wife and William SpraginsWilliam Turner of Saluda made out his Will on February 1, 1774. The Will wasproved in Charleston October 25, 1776. Among other clauses in the Will, $250and land were bequeathed to a daughter Priscilla who later married BenjaminLong Sr. The children of Priscilla Long were Henry (Deceased), Elizabethdeceased (formerly wife of Benjamin Coate), Polly wife of Benjamin Coate,Sarah the wife of John Gaskins and Polly wife of Benjamin F. Long. BenjaminLong Sr. died 1817 intestate survived by wife Priscilla and children Pollywife of Henry Coate, Sarah wife of John Gaskins and Benjamin F. Long Jr. Inhis lifetime, On February 18, 1806 Benjamin Long Sr. conveyed to Henry Coate24 acres of the land given to his wife by her father through the persuasionof her husband. However, she never relinquished her right of inheritance. OnMarch 15, 1808 the remainder of the land belonging to Priscilla Long wasconveyed by Benjamin Long Sr. to William Coate. At that time Priscilla Longrelinquished her inheritance but did not join in the execution of the deed,nor did she sign away her dower. The question remained as to who had legalrights to the land.Also, on December 6 1791 Elizabeth Turner gave her grandson, William HenryLong, a 9-year-old slave named Frank. The slave was delivered to the father,Benjamin Long, who had benefit of the slave until he died.

3048 Professor Dornan theorized that Ann's niece through brother James named Ann was married to Roger Fort. Thanks to info from Bobbie Earle, I theorize that John and Elizabeth had a daughter Ann who was married to Roger Fort instead. Bobbs quite a bit of data on Ann and Roger and their dates fit perfectly if Ann is the daughter of this John and Elizabeth. She also names children Marmaduke and Joan which are common names in our family. Here are the facts that support my theory that Ann Coate is the daughter of John and Elizabeth Coate. 1) Her supposed birth year, 1673, (which comes from an LDS record) fits into this family correctly and would not have been recorded because the Quakers stopped keeping records in 1673 in the Kingsbury Episcopi meeting. 2) Both she and her husband were from the same Parish of Curry Revell, co. Somerset, ENG. 3) Their first child's name was John (after her father) 4) Her 4th child's name was Marmaduke (after John's brother) and her 5th child's name was Edith after Marmaduke's wife. If she was the youngest daughter of John and Elizabeth, b. about 1673, she would have been about 14/15 when her stepmother, Elizabeth, went to live with sister-in-law, Edith Coate who was widowed in 1687. She would have lived in her uncle Marmaduke's home possibly looking at Edith as a second mother from that time on. That is a logical reason why two of her children were named after this favorite Aunt and Uncle. Her first daughter's name is Joan which is also a common name in her Coate ancestral line. 5) Ann Coate and her husband Roger Fort raised their family in Burlington Co., NJ where related Coate cousins lived. 6) The other Ann Coate b. in 1669 to Marmaduke and Ann Coate was verified as married to William Masters. 7) John had a son James who named a daughter Ann (after his sister?) 8) James's daughter Ann, just mentioned, was born after 1691. If she was the wife of Roger Fort, b. 1669, she would have been a full generation younger than her husband and quite young to have a son in 1706. Even Professor Dornan who had obviously come across a couple named Ann Coate and Roger Fort put a question by whether the Ann Coate, d. of James, could be the wife of Roger Fort. 9) I have a triangulation with small cM segment matches for persons who descend from this Roger Fort and Ann Coate line. It's too small a triangulation for proof but certainly supports Ann as the daughter of John and Elizabeth along with this other evidence.. COATE, Anne (I13997)

"The Martyns of Athelhampton, Dorset, came to England from near Bayeux in Normandy. The lands at Athelhampton came into the possession of the Martyn family in 1350 through the marriage of Sir Richard Martyn of Waterston, and a little over a century later, about the time of the Battle of Bosworth, Sir William Martyn built the beautiful manor at Athelhampton which still stands today. The last of the male line at Athelhampton was Sir Nicholas Martyn, who died in 1595, leaving his four daughters as his heiresses. The novelist Thomas Hardy wrote two poems about Athelhampton, and used it as the setting for one of his short stories (Athelhampton).

MARTIN, of Tours, was a general in the army of William the Conqueror ; and, in 1077, conquered the Cantred of Camoys and Dirlington, in Pembroke shire, and of which he was afterwards given the barony."

3050 Rachel Eastburn Coats in mentioned in a will in Philadelphia in Book P, p. 302 which still needs to be obtained. (C-1665, E) There is a will for a Rachel Coates who was the widow of William Coates in the 1760s. She lists grandchiln her will and could not be this Rachel Eastburn married to a Coats. EASTBURN, Rachel (I14712)
