| 3801 | The surname Curry means "marsh" or "boat" and first applied to Scotchman who lived in a place of that name in the Marsh at Midlothian, Scotland. (CL-391) The birthdates and birth order for his children literally are not consistent in the sources I've seen and could be completely wrong. The following record from Chaukley applies to this William. 1748-49, March 10th--William Curry, 200, near John Young, Thos. Waterson, Naked Creek (c. g. e. p.). According to "Early Settlers of Virginia", this purchase belonged to this William Sr. who was married to Sarah Young. Chaukley's, Vol. 1 entry might also apply. Christian vs. Curry.--William Curry (near Staunton) to Israel Christian, debtor. 1769, July 2; 1761, item by son, William; 1763, 24th February; 1766, to your account at the Stone House with Walter Stewart. Sworn to, 29th December, 1766. It is also stated in WeRelate on Wiki, that he not only purchased this land, but that he was an early settler of Augusta Co., VA. His wife Sarah Young is listed as the daughter of John and Annie Houston Young of Ireland. He is the first common ancestor I have with kkstubbs38 who descends through Sir Robert and his daughter, Jane (Jenny) Curry appearing to be born about 1712. This cousin is a half cousin meaning that one of us does NOT descend through Lady Sarah but through a different wife instead. I have a second cousin who descends through John Curry, b. 1730 instead who is a half cousin. This now suggests, Sir Robert William had 3 wives. We don't know which of his children belong to whom or his 3rd wife's name. I have now proven through my mother's autosomal DNA that William is our ancestor through triangulations with 3 other cousins all descended from William with shared DNA on chrome 3 from 147375568 168273670 via MyHeritage with 16.5 cM's in common on average. This is a great deal of DNA shared suggesting this family had a lot of wealth and intermarried in Europe in particular. | CURRY, Sir William "True" IV (I7667)

| 3804 | The Ward's descend from an ancient family in Norfolk, England. Here is an excellent write up provided in Wikitree in 2022. THE WARD FAMILY THE following authorities are given for the Ward Chart, which goes back to Osbert de Varde, 1130: Burton's "Monasticon," pp. 139-166; Whittaker's "Leeds" ; Dugdale's "Monasticon," Vol. V, P 139 ; Tanner's "Notitia." In 1130 there were three brothers de Varde: Simon, Godewin and Osbert of Givendale, Yorkshire. Osbert had two sons, Richard and William de Varde of Givendale Living, 1150. William de Varde had son, Simon de Varde, who married Maude _____. Simon de Varde founded Escholst Priory the end of the Twelfth Century; he had two sons, John de Varde of Scotton and William de Varde of Givendale. William de Varde had sons: William of Capes and Simon (made Sir Simon 1260, by Henry III). Sir Simon had son, Sir Simon, knight and baronet, "A great Baron against the Scots;" and Sir Simon the second had two sons, Sir John, 1350, and Simon, "the Simon de Varde who married Margaret, a daughter of the House of Mortimer, Lords of Attilbury, County Norfolk, and ancestors of the Lords of Norfolk." Simon and Margaret de Varde's son John married Elena de Boost or de Bois; their son, John, 2d, married Katherine Applegard. Robert de Varde, son of John and Katherine Applegard de Varde, married Alice Kemp, had a son, Robert, 2d, who married a Copperdick ; and their son, Robert, 3d, married a daughter of Sir Giles Capel of London, ancestor of the Earls of Essex, and had three sons, Henry Warde of Kirby-Bedon, Jeffrey of Broke, and Thomas Warde of Homersfield, who married _____Hare, daughter of John Hare, D.C.L., of Homersfield, Norfolk. From Archaeologia Cambrensis: "There was in the county of Norfolk an ancient family named Ward, of which Simon Ward had leave with others 20th June 1391 to perform certain exploits in arms in Scotland. He married Margaret Mortimer, whose arms are given as or, semee de lis sa., but she is said to be of the distinguished family of that name. Their son John married the daughter and heir of John de Bosco (or De Bois) of Kirbybedon. Ermine a cross sa., in whose right he became possessed of that estate. Their son John Warde-70 (whose will was proved 27th October 1445) married Katherine, daughter Appleyard-20 of William Appleyard of Brason Ash and Dunston, az. a chevron between three owls argt. Their son Robert Warde-72 married Alice Kemp Kemp-523 of Gissing, and had a son Robert Warde-67, who, marrying a daughter Appleyard-20 of John Coppledeck, argt. a chevron between three crosslets fitche gules, had issue Robert Ward Warde-148 of Kirby, who married Margaret Capell-36, daughter of Sir Giles Capel Capell-153 of Essex, son of William Capel Capell-155 by Margaret, daughter of Sir Thomas Arundell of Lanherne, co. Cornwall. Morant, in his History of Essex, says Sir Giles of Rayne Hall married, firstly, Margaret, daughter of Sir Richard Roos Ros-181, younger son of William Ros-9, Lord Roos of Belvoir, by whom he had issue Henry Capel, and secondly, Isabel (*), daughter of Sir John Newton of Wake.. We have a more detailed statement of the descent of Isabel, wife of Sir Giles Capel, iu Harleian MS. 1041, where she is recorded as the second daughter and coheir of Thomas Cradoc or Newton Newton-252 by his second wife, Elianor, daughter of Lord Daubeney (d'Aubeney/Aubigny). The father of Thomas was Sir John ; and his mother, Isabel, daughter and heir of Sir John Cliddari, Knight; Sir John being son of Sir Richard by Emma, daughter of Thomas Perrott of Haroldstone, son of John by Margaret, daughter of Howel Moythe, son of John Cradoc of co. Somerset, by whom he had Margaret, wife of William Ward of Brooks, Esq. Bloomfield, in his History of Norfolk, etc., calls him Robert Ward, as above. The arms of Capel are gules a lion rampant argt. between three crosslets fitche- or. The Visitation of Essex of 1612, under the head of Capel, says Sir Giles Capell of Hadham, co. Hertford, Knt., son and heir lyeth buried by his father (i.e., in St. Bartholomew's Church, by the Exchange). He married daughter and co-heir of Sir John Newton alias Craddock, Knt., and had issue Sir Edward, ancestor of Lord Essex, and Margaret, married to Robert Warde of Brooke, alias Kirkby, in co. Norfolk, gent. (argent, on a chevron azure three garbs or). Robert Ward Warde-148 and Margaret Capell Capell-36 his wife had issue, Henry Ward Ward-6906 of Postwick, M.P. for Norwich in 1553, who by his wife Margaret Uggs-1, daughter of William Ugges of Pokelthorpe, near Norwich, had issue, Edward Ward, who built Bixley Hall, the future seat of the family, and died in 1583, having married Anne, daughter of John Havers of Winfarthing. On their tomb at Bixley, co. Norfolk, is the following inscription in black letter,- "In fatall Tombe a Squire here lyes, enshryned by Death, One Edwarde Warde, who lefte of twelve, ten children deare, With Anne his lovinge wife, on Maye day past his Breathe And Soule to God by Christ, though senceless corpes lye heare. "Obiit 1583, Stat. 41." The arms of Ward are cheeky or and azure, a bend ermine. Blomfield tells us that Bixley Hall, long the seat of the Wards, was built in 1565 by Sir (?) Edward, the first of the family who settled there. Of his numerous issue, William, the sixth son, was put apprentice, and became a wealthy goldsmith in London.

(end snippet). From The History and Antiquities of the County of Norfolk Happing, Henstead, Holt, Humbleyard, and Loddon: "The Baronetage, vol. iii. p. 195, mentions a Ward married to Margaret Mortimer, as father and mother of John Ward, who by the marriage of the daughter and heiress of John, son and heir of Thomas de Bosco or Bois, of Kirby-Bedon, became lord of that manor in 1363, the 37th of Edward III. and was succeeded by John Ward Warde-70, gent. his son and heir, who married Catherine Appleyard-20, daughter of William Appleyard, lord of Bracon-ash and Dunston: his will was proved October 27, 1445, the 24th of Henry VI. by which he ordered his body to be buried in the church of St. Mary at Kirby; and it appears that he was lord of the manors of Wodehouse, Bedons alias Seams, and patron of two parts of the advowson of Kirby St. Andrew; having estates in Bixley, Surlingham, Bramerton, Rocklands, Framlingham, Trowse, and Witlingham, leaving Robert Ward Warde-72, gent, his eldest son and heir, who married Alice Kemp Kemp-523, of Gissing, by whom he left Robert Ward, esq.

| 3806 | The will of George Washington as transferred to me by Annie Coppock Kransdorf from W.W. Abbot, ed., The Papers of George Washington, Retirement Series, vol. 4, April - December 1799. (Charlottesville University Press of Virginia, 1999), 47. is as follows: "[Mount Vernon, 9 July 1799] In the name of God amen I George Washington of Mount Vernon--a citizen of the United States, and lately President of the same, do make, ordain and declare this instrument; which is written with my own hand and every page thereof subscribed my name, to be my last Will and testament, revoking all others. mprimus. All my debts, of which there are but few, and none of magnitude, are to be punctually and speedily paid--and the Legacies hereinafter bequeathed, are to be discharged as soon as circumstances will permit, and in the manner directed. Item. To my dearly beloved wife Martha Washington give and bequeath the use, profit and benefit of my whole Estate, real and personal, for the term of her natural life--except such parts thereof as are specifically disposed of hereafter My improved lot in the Town of Alexandria, situated on Pitt Cameron streets, I give to her and her heirs forever;1 as I also do my household Kitchen furniture of every sort kind, with the liquors and groceries which may be on hand at the time of my decease; to be used disposed of as she may think proper. Item Upon the decease of my wife, it is my Will desire that all the Slaves which I hold in my own right, shall receive their freedom. To emancipate them during her life, would, tho' earnestly wished by me, be attended with such insuperable difficulties on account of their intermixture by Marriages with the dower Negroes, as to excite the most painful sensations, if not disagreeable consequences from the latter, while both descriptions are in the occupancy of the same Proprietor; it not being in my power, under the tenure by which the Dower Negroes are held, to manumit them. And whereas among those who will recieve freedom according to this devise, there may be some, who from old age or bodily infirmities, and others who on account of their infancy, that will be unable to support themselves; it is my Will and desire that all who come under the first second description shall be comfortably cloathed fed by my heirs while they live; and that such of the latter description as have no parents living, or if living are unable, or unwilling to provide for them, shall be bound by the Court until they shall arrive at the age of twenty five years; and in cases where no record can be produced, whereby their ages can be ascertained, the judgment of the Court, upon its own view of the subject, shall be adequate and final. The Negros thus bound, are (by their Masters or Mistresses) to be taught to read write; and to be brought up to some useful occupation, agreeably to the Laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, providing for the support of Orphan and other poor Children. and I do hereby expressly forbid the Sale, or transportation out of the said commonwealth, of any Slave I may die possessed of, under any pretence whatsoever. And I do moreover most pointedly, and most solemnly enjoin it upon my Executors hereafter named, or the Survivors of them, to see that this clause respecting Slaves, and every part thereof be religiously fulfilled at the Epoch at which it is directed to take place; without evasion, neglect or delay, after the Crops which may then be on the ground are harvested, particularly as it respects the aged and infirm; seeing that a regular and permanent fund be established for their support so long as there are subjects requiring it; not trusting to the ncertain provision to be made by individuals. 2 And to my Mulatto man William (calling himself William Lee) I give immediate freedom; or if he should prefer it (on account of the accidents which have befallen him, and which have rendered him incapable of walking or of any active employment) to remain in the situation he now is, it shall be optional in him to do so In either case however, I allow him an annuity of thirty dollars during his natural life, which shall be independent of the victuals and cloaths he has been accustomed to receive, if he chuses the last alternative; but in full, with his freedom, if he prefers the first; this I give him as a testimony of my sense of his attachment to me, and for his faithful services during the Revolutionary War. 3 Item. To the Trustees (Governors, or by whatsoever other name they may be designated) of the Academy in the Town of Alexandria, I give and bequeath, in Trust, four thousand dollars, or in other words twenty of the shares which I hold in the Bank of Alexandria, towards the support of a Free school established at, and annexed to, the said Academy; for the purpose of Educating such Orphan children, or the children of such other poor and indigent persons as are unable to accomplish it with their own means; and who, in the judgment of the Trustees of the said Seminary, are best entitled to the benefit of this donation. The aforesaid twenty shares I give bequeath in perpetuity; the dividends only of which are to be drawn for, and applied by the said Trustees for the time being, for the uses above mentioned; the stock to remain entire and untouched; unless indications of a failure of the said Bank should be so apparent, or a discontinuance thereof should render a removal of this fund necessary; in either of these cases, the amount of the Stock here devised, is to be vested in some other Bank or public Institution, whereby the interest may with regularity certainty be drawn, and applied as above. And to prevent misconception, my meaning is, and is hereby declared to be, that these twenty shares are in lieu of, and not in addition to, the thousand pounds given by a missive letter some years ago; in consequence whereof an annuity of fifty pounds has since been paid towards the support of this Institution.4 Item. Whereas by a Law of the Commonwealth of Virginia, enacted in the year 1785, the Legislature thereof was pleased (as a an evidence of Its probation of the services I had rendered the Public during the Revolution--and partly, I believe, in consideration of my having suggested the vast advantages which the Community would derive from the extensions of its Inland Navigation, under Legislative patronage) to present me with one hundred shares of one hundred dollars each, in the incorporated company established for the purpose of extending the navigation of James River from tide water to the Mountains and also with fifty shares of one hundred pounds Sterling each, in the Corporation of another company, likewise established for the similar purpose of opening the Navigation of the River Potomac from tide water to Fort Cumberland, the acceptance of which, although the offer was highly honourable, and grateful to my feelings, was refused, as inconsistent with a principle which I had adopted, and had never departed from--namely--not to receive pecuniary compensation for any services I could render my country in its arduous struggle with great Britain, for its Rights; and because I had evaded similar propositions from other States in the Union; adding to this refusal, however, an intimation that, if it should be the pleasure of the Legislature to permit me to appropriate the said shares to public uses, I would receive them on those terms with due sensibility; and this it having consented to, in flattering terms, as will appear by a subsequent Law, and sundry resolutions, in the most ample and honourable manner, I proceed after this recital, for the more correct understanding of the case, to declare--5 That as it has always been a source of serious regret with me, to see the youth of these United States sent to foreign Countries for the purpose of Education, often before their minds were formed, or they had imbibed any adequate ideas of the happiness of their own; contracting, too frequently, not only habits of dissipation & extravagence, but principles unfriendly to Republican Governmt and to the true & genuine liberties of Mankind; which, thereafter are rarely overcome. For these reasons, it has been my ardent wish to see a plan devised on a liberal scale, which would have a tendency to sprd systemactic ideas through all parts of this rising Empire, thereby to do away local attachments and State prejudices, as far as the nature of things would, or indeed ought to admit, from our National Councils. Looking anxiously forward to the accomplishment of so desirable an object as this is (in my estimation) my mind has not been able to contemplate any plan more likely to effect the measure than the establishment of a UNIVERSITY in a central part of the United States, to which the youth of fortune and talents from all parts thereof might be sent for the completion of their Education in all the branches of polite literature; in arts and Sciences, in acquiring knowledge in the principles of Politics & good Government; and (as a matter of infinite Importance in my judgment) by associating with each other, and forming friendships in Juvenile years, be enabled to free themselves in a proper degree from those local prejudices & habitual jealousies which have just been mentioned; and which, when carried to excess, are never failing sources of disquietude to the Public mind, and pregnant of mischievous consequences to this Country Under these impressions, so fully dilated, Item I give and bequeath in perpetuity the fifty shares which I hold in the Potomac Company (under the aforesaid Acts of the Legislature of Virginia) towards the endowment of a UNIVERSITY to be established within the limits of the District of Columbia, under the auspices of the General Government, if that government should incline to extend a fostering hand towards it; and until such Seminary is established, and the funds arising on these shares shall be required for its support, my further Will & desire is that the profit accruing therefrom shall, whenever the dividends are made, be laid out in purchasing Stock in the Bank of Columbia, or some other Bank, at the discretion of my Executors; or by the Treasurer of the United States for the time being under the direction of Congress; provided that Honourable body should Patronize the measure, and the Dividends proceeding from the purchase of such Stock is to be vested in more stock, and so on, until a sum adequate to the accomplishment of the object is obtained, of which I have not the smallest doubt, before many years passes away; even if no aid or encouraged is given by Legislative authority, or from any other source.6 Item The hundred shares which I held in the James River Company, I have given, and now confirm in perpetuity to, and for the use & benefit of Liberty-Hall Academy, in the County of Rockbridge, in the Commonwealth of Virga.7 Item I release exonerate and discharge, the Estate of my deceased brother Samuel Washington, from the payment of the money which is due to me for the Land I sold to Philip Pendleton (lying in the County of Berkeley) who assigned the same to him the said Samuel; who, by agreement was to pay me therefor. And whereas by some contract (the purport of which was never communicated to me) between the said Samuel and his son Thornton Washington, the latter became possessed of the aforesaid Land, without any conveyance having passed from me, either to the said Pendleton, the said Samuel, or the said Thornton, and without any consideration having been made, by which neglect neither the legal nor equitable title has been alienated; it rests therefore with me to declare my intentions concerning the Premises--and these are, to give & bequeath the said land to whomsoever the said Thornton Washington (who is also dead) devised the same; or to his heirs forever if he died Intestate Exonerating the estate of the said Thornton, equally with that of the said Samuel from payment of the purchase money; which, with Interest; agreeably to the original contract with the said Pendleton, would amount to more than a thousand pounds.8 And whereas two other Sons of my said deceased brother Samuel--namely, George Steptoe Washington and Lawrence [Charles] Augustine Washington, were, by the decease of those to whose care they were committed, brought under my protection, and in conseq[uenc]e have occasioned advances on my part for their Education at College, and other Schools, for their board--cloathing--and other incidental expences, to the amount of near five thousand dollars over and above the Sums furnished by their Estate wch Sum may be inconvenient for them, or their fathers Estate to refund. I do for these reasons acquit them, and the said estate, from the payment thereof. My intention being, that all accounts between them and me, and their fathers estate and me shall stand balanced.9Item The balance due to me from the Estate of Bartholomew Dandridge deceased (my wife's brother) and which amounted on the first day of October 1795 to four hundred and twenty five pounds (as will appear by an account rendered by his deceased son John Dandridge, who was the acting Exr of his fathers Will) I release & acquit from the payment thereof. And the Negros, then thirty three in number) formerly belonging to the said estate, who were taken in execution--sold--and purchased in on my account in the year [___] and ever since have remained in the possession, and to the use of Mary, Widow of the said Bartholomew Dandridge, with their increase, it is my Will & desire shall continue, & be in her possession, without paying hire, or making compensation for the same for the time past or to come, during her natural life; at the expiration of which, I direct that all of them who are forty years old & upwards, shall receive their freedom; all under that age and above sixteen, shall serve seven years and no longer; and all under sixteen years, shall serve until they are twenty five years of age, and then be free. And to avoid disputes respecting the ages of any of these Negros, they are to be taken to the Court of the County in which they reside, and the judgment thereof, in this relation shall be final; and a record thereof made; which may be adduced as evidence at any time thereafter, if disputes should arise concerning the same. And I further direct, that the heirs of the said Bartholomew Dandridge shall, equally, share the benefits arising from the services of the said negroes according to the tenor of this devise, upon the decease of their Mother.10Item If Charles Carter who intermarried with my niece Betty Lewis is not sufficiently secured in the title to the lots he had of me in the Town of Fredericksburgh, it is my will & desire that my Executors shall make such conveyances of them as the Law requires, to render it perfect.11 Item To my Nephew William Augustine Washington and his heirs (if he should conceive them to be objects worth prosecuting) and to his heirs, a lot in the Town of Manchester (opposite to Richmond) No. 265--drawn on my sole account, and also the tenth of one or two, hundred acre lots, and two or three half acre lots in the City, and vicinity of Richmond, drawn in partnership with nine others, all in the lottery of the deceased William Byrd are given--as is also a lot which I purchased of John Hood, conveyed by William Willie and Samuel ordon Trustees of the said John Hood, numbered 139 in the Town of Edinburgh, in the County of Prince George, State of Virginia.12Item To my Nephew Bushrod Washington, I give and bequeath all the Papers in my possession, which relate to my Civel and Military Administration of the affairs of this Country; I leave to him also, such of my private Papers as are worth preserving;13 and at the decease ofwife, and before--if she is not inclined to retain them, I give and bequeath my library of Books and Pamphlets of every kind.14Item Having sold Lands which I possessed in the State of Pennsylvania, and part of a tract held in equal right with George Clinton, late Governor of New York, in the State of New York; my share of land, & interest, in the Great Dismal Swamp, and a tract of land which I owned in the County of Gloucester; withholding the legal titles thereto, until the consideration money should be paid. And having moreover leased, & conditionally sold (as will appear by the tenor of the said leases) all my lands upon the Great Kanhawa, and a tract upon Difficult Run, in the county of Loudoun, it is my Will and direction, that whensoever the Contracts are fully, & respectively complied with, according to the spirit; true intent & meaning thereof, on the part of the purchasers, their heirs or Assigns, that then, and in that case, Conveyances are to be made, agreeably to the terms of the said Contracts; and the money arising therefrom, when paid, to be vested in Bank stock; the dividends whereof, as of that also wch is already vested therein, is to inure to my said Wife during her life--but the Stock itself is to remain, & be subject to the general distribution hereafter directed.15Item To the Earl of Buchan I recommit "the box made of the Oak that sheltered the Great Sir William Wallace after the battle of Falkirk" presented to me by his Lordship, in terms too flattering for me to repeat, with a request "to pass it, on the event of my decease, to the man in my country, who should appear to merit it best, upon the same conditions that have induced him to send it to me." Whether easy, or not, to select the man who might comport with his Lordships opinion in this respect, is not for me to say; but conceiving that no disposition of this valuable curiosity can be more eligible than the re-commitment of it to his own Cabinet, agreeably to the original design of the Goldsmiths Company of Edenburgh, who presented it to him, and at his request, consented that is should be transferred to me; I do give & bequeath the same to his Lordship, and in case of his decease, to his heir with my grateful thanks for the distinguished honour of presenting it to me; and more especially for the favorable sentiments with which he accompanied it.16Item To my brother Charles Washington I give & bequeath the gold headed Cane left me by Doctr Franklin in his Will. I add nothing to it, because of the ample provision I have made for his Issue.17 To the acquaintances and friends of my Juvenile years, Lawrence Washington & Robert Washington of Chotanck, I give my other two gold headed Canes, having my Arms engraved on them; and to each (as they will be useful where they live) I leave one of the Spy-glasses which constituted part of my equipage during the late War.18 To my compatriot in arms, and old & intimate friend Doctr Craik, I give my Bureau (or as the Cabinet makers call it, Tambour Secretary) and the circular chair--an appendage of my Study.19 To Doctor David Stuart I give my large shaving & dressing Table, and my Telescope.20 To the Reverend, now Bryan, Lord Fairfax, I give a Bible in three large folio volumes, with notes, presented to me by the Right reverend Thomas Wilson, Bishop of Sodor & Man.21 To General de la Fayette I give a pair of finely wrought steel Pistols, taken from the enemy in the Revolutionary War.22 To my Sisters in law Hannah Washington & Mildred Washington; to my friends Eleanor Stuart, Hannah Washington of Fairfield, and Elizabeth Washington of Hayfield, I give, each, a mourning Ring of the value of one hundred dollars. These bequests are not made for the intrinsic value of them, but as mementos of my esteem & regard.23 To Tobias Lear, I give the use of the Farm which he now holds, in virtue of a Lease from me to him and his deceased wife (for and during their natural lives) free from Rent, during his life; at the expiration of which, it is to be disposed as is hereinafter directed.24 To Sally B. Haynie (a distant relation of mine) I give and bequeath three hundred dollars.25 To Sarah Green daughter of the deceased Thomas Bishop,26 & to Ann Walker daughter of Jno. Alton, also deceased, I give, each--one hundred dollars, in consideration of the attachment of their fathers to me; each of whom having lived nearly forty years in my family.27 To each of my Nephews, William Augustine Washington, George Lewis, George Steptoe Washington, Bushrod Washington and Samuel Washington, I give one of the Swords or Cutteaux of which I may die possessed; and they are to chuse in the order they are named. These Swords are accompanied with an injunction not to unsheath them for the purpose of shedding blood, except it be for self defence, or in defence of their Country and its rights; and in the latter case, to keep them unsheathed, and prefer falling with them in their hands, to the relinquishment thereof.28 And now Having gone through these specific devises, with explanations for the more correct understanding of the meaning and design of them; I proceed to the distribution of the more important parts of my Estate, in manner following-- | WASHINGTON, George (I8824)

| 3810 | The younger son of William Fortescue and Elizabeth Beauchamp was John Fortescue (died after 1432), of Sheepham in the parish of Modbury, Captain of the captured Castle of Meaux,[7] during the Hundred Years' War, ancestor of the Fortescues of Filleigh and Weare Giffard in Devon (see Earl Fortescue) and of the Fortescues of Buckland Filleigh, Devon (see Earl of Clermont). These three prominent seats of the Fortescue family were all inherited by the marriage of Martin Fortescue (d.1472) (son of Sir John Fortescue (c.1394-1479) (And Grandson of this John) of Ebrington in Gloucestershire, Chief Justice of the King's Bench, 2nd son of John Fortescue, Captain of Meaux) to Elizabeth Densyll, daughter and heiress of Richard Densyll.[8] Foresque.org Sir John Fortescue, (born c. 1385, Norris, Somerset, Eng.-died c. 1479, Ebrington, Gloucestershire), jurist, notable for a legal treatise, De laudibus legum Angliae (c. 1470; “In Praise of the Laws of England”), written for the instruction of Edward, prince of Wales, son of the deposed king Henry VI of England. He also stated a moral principle that remains basic to the Anglo-American jury system: It is better that the guilty escape than that the innocent be punished. Fortescue became chief justice of the King’s Bench in 1442 and was knighted the following year. After the defeat of Henry VI’s Lancastrian army at Towton, Yorkshire (March 29, 1461), he fled with Henry to Scotland, where Fortescue probably was appointed lord chancellor of the exiled government. From 1463 to 1471 he lived in France at the court of Henry’s queen, Margaret of Anjou, where he helped to educate Prince Edward to rule England in the event of a Lancastrian restoration. Returning to England, he was captured at Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, during the final defeat of the Lancastrians (May 4, 1471), submitted to the Yorkist king Edward IV, and was allowed to retire to his home. Unusual for its time, De laudibus depreciates the Roman-derived civil law and eulogizes the English constitution, statutes, and system of legal education, while offering suggestions for reform. It was probably the first book about law written in a style so simple and lucid as to be comprehensible to the layman.

| 3813 | Theory on the Ancestry of Mary Norris Allerton of the Mayflower and John Norris, b. 1617 of Roxbury, Mass, and Suffolk Co., NY Based upon Many DNA Triangulations between Descendants of Each Including Documentation If you are a descendant of Mary Norris Allerton and have done any research at all, you know that there are many guesses as to her English ancestry. Most commonly she is listed as the daughter of Sir Edward Norris, Gov. of Ostend, whose home was in Berkshire, England. According to Wikitree, “On 17 Jul 1600 he married Mrs. Elizabeth Webb at Englefield, Berkshire. [1] The ODNB article … says "His nephew Francis [q. v.] succeeded to his estates. His wife Elizabeth, by whom he had no issue, was the rich widow of one Webb of Salisbury…The history of parliament biography also agrees that his heir was his nephew.” If their marriage had produced a legitimate heir, his estates would have been inherited by his eldest son. If there were no sons, then it would have gone to his eldest daughter by law. The fact that his estates went to his nephew confirms that he had no legitimate heirs. That means if Mary was his daughter, she would have been illegitimate. I have a better theory worked upon diligently from a new lead. I discovered that my distant connection to a cousin was through the Norris on chromosome 15. It matched the same segments from approximately 27,000,000 to 29,000,000 that matched her other Norris cousins who descended through John Norris, b. 1617 of England, Bermuda, Massachusetts, and New York. We have 7 triangulations so far between us and these 4 other cousins. These matches are at the 4.5-6.4 cM segment size so far. The smaller cM size shows that it is connection from many generations ago. The triangulations show us that those segments are inherited DNA. Each of these triangulations on Gedmatch prove that each of the 3 people per triangulation are related to each other with the common ancestral line between them being Norris. That told us that my ancestor, Mary Norris Allerton of the Mayflower was highly likely related to John Norris who died in Suffolk Co., NY. Neither’s ancestry is known with certainty. Two of these six cousins are descended from Mary Norris and 4 are descended from John Norris, b. 1617. We had another clue to help. Mary Norris said she was from Newbury, (Berkshire), England in her marriage to Isaac Allerton in 1611 in Leiden, Holland. If she was from Newbury, what family of Norris’ lived nearby? One of them was the Sir Edward above. He lived about 32 miles from her in Englefield, Berkshire, England. However, there were better choices. The closest Norris family was of Yattenden Castle in Berkshire which was only 7 miles from Newbury. I combed all the possible baptismal records for both Mary Norris b. somewhere in the 1580’s and John Norris b. 1617. I used Freereg.org.uk and the baptismal records of England and Wales. There was only one somewhat close to Newbury for a Mary. This was for a Mary Norris baptized on Oct. 30, 1580 in Caddington, Bedfordshire, England which was 50+ miles by the way the crow flies away from Newbury. She was the daughter of Richard and Alice Dermer Norris who married in Caddington a year prior to her birth. This is earlier than people thought she was born but still within the normal childbearing years in which she had her children. A Richard Norris was born in Reading, England in 1542. Reading was only 20 miles from Newbury, England. He was one of 3 who could be her father. One of them was born in 1541 of Sandy, Bedfordshire, England (which was 75 miles from Newbury) and was the son of William Norris. The other two were b. in 1542 in Reading, Berkshire, England also. They are as follows: View 1 Rich: NORRIS Baptism09 Nov 1542BerkshireReading : St Mary : Unspecified View 2 Richard NORRIS Baptism22 Dec 1542 Berkshire Reading : St Mary : Unspecified This is a weak link in this theory. I have assumed her father was one of the Richards of Reading, Berkshire, England, whose father’s first name was not provided. Why did I choose this? We have autosomal DNA triangulations with descendants of John Norris, b. 1617 who is likely to have an ancestor who is quickly related to Mary Norris of the Mayflower. Autosomal triangulations back this far do no occur unless the family married cousins to keep the wealth in the family in Europe. It’s my assumption that it’s Mary’s father or grandfather that she and John Norris of Mass. and NY have in common. It’s also my assumption that this ancestry would take them back to the Berkshire Norris’ to account for Mary giving her residence as Newbury before coming to Leiden, Holland where she married. Next let’s look at John’s ancestry. There is only one John born in 1617 in baptismal records that I’ve found near Berkshire. He too was baptized in Bedfordshire, England on Feb. 28, 1617/1618. This was in Steppingley and his father was Andrew. Andrew was baptized on 20 Apr 1585 and was the son of John. John Norris appears to have been baptized in Reading, Berkshire, England on Oct 9, 1546! John was the likely son of John Norris and Catherine Nicholes who married there in 1538. It’s the only Norris family that shows up in the Reading marriage records at that time. The surname Nicholes got passed down as a first name in this family with the spelling of Nicholas. I cannot find a baptismal record for John. He would likely have been born before 1518. Who could Richard (father of Mary) and John b. bef. 1518 be the son of? The Norris who owned the Castle in Yattenden was Sir John, b. 1484 at the time that both men would have been born. It is a theory that these two related Norris families of the colonies were descended from Sir John. We can really only surmise that this is one possible path and that Mary Norris of the Mayflower and John Norris b. 1617 of Mass. and NY are children of Sir John or his ancestors. It’s a possible path that takes existing documents into account with the added advantage of DNA triangulations. Each triangulation represents 3 cousins who inherited DNA on chromosome 15 from common Norris ancestors. Triangulations are the gold standard for autosomal DNA proof. She lived and married in Leiden, Holland in 1611 where the Separatists had first moved to in 1609. One hundred were given permission to come to Leiden then. Only 1/3 of the Mayflower passengers were Separatists. Mayflower passengers are attributed as being from various counties in England. She would have been older than her husband, Isaac, by 5 or 6 years, but that too happened in that time period, particularly when there was a dearth of single English females to marry in places like Leiden, Holland. The same thing occurred in early colonial times. Here is what William Bradford had to say about her in early colonial records: "Of Isaac Allerton and his first wife, William Bradford recorded: "Mr. Allerton's wife died with the first, and his servant John Hooke.[8] His son Bartle is married in England but I know not how many children he hath. His daughter Remember is married at Salem and hath three or four children living. His daughter Mary is married here and hath four children. Himself married again with the daughter of Mr. Brewster and hath one son living by her, but she is long since dead. And he is married again and hath left this place long ago."[9][10] (Wikitree) I hope that one day, YDNA will prove that John Norris is related to this Yattenden, Berkshire, England group. Until then, we can most certainly be finding more autosomal triangulations and possibly documents that can support or refute this theory.

| 3817 | There are 6 spoons in existence belonging to Edward and Diantha Forte with the initials E.D.F. on them. As far as I know these are still in existence with Hank and Ray Forte. They were trademarked in 1801, and as such, were made well before Diantha and Edward were born. (F-4) There is a tin type photo of Diantha in Linda Dudick's care thanks to Bill and Ann Forte. Diantha was employed as a house mother for a local college during some of her life. (F-17) When her husband was murdered in Mexico, she did not have the money to care for her children. They therefore went to live with relatives at fairly young ages. Leslie, Elizabeth and Henry Lincoln went to live with relatives in Philadelphia, PA and son Edward C. went to live with his mother's cousin, Marie Amelia Bunnell and her husband Zera Patterson in Fenton, Michigan. Her three children in Philadelphia were raised as Catholics. Edward was raised an Episcopalian. That must have been a very difficult decision to make and live with. Much of this information is from an interview with Margaret Bennett, Diantha's great granddaughter. She believed that Diantha attended St. Paul's Church in Mount Vernon, West Chester Co., NY near the end of her life. | BUNNELL, Diantha (Elizabeth) Fitch (I10002)

| 3818 | There are at least 3 Joseph Bentons of New England of similar peerage that are not to be confused. Wikitree 2022 "Joseph was born October 15, 1725 in Maryland.[1][2] In August 1727, he was "bound" to Charles Roberts until the age of 21 by action of the Prince George's County Court:[3] 'Joseph Benton (son of Joseph and Anne Benton) two years old the fifteenth day of next October is by the Justices of the Court here [Prince George's County] bound to Charles Roberts present here in Court in his proper [person] until it arrive to the age of twenty one years and the said Charles engages to learn the said Child during the time [aforesaid] to read distinctly at the expiration thereof to give him a decent Suit of apparel.'

| 3821 | There are many events that apply to a William of this time period. However, there are also at least 3 Williams living in Philadelphia at this same time. This William may be any of the following. A William witnessed the will of Thomas Fairman, in Philadelphia on 7/27/1711. (C-1006) A William purchased land in Bucks Co., PA in 1712. A William was the only appointed commissioner for Philadelphia County in Oct. of 1732 as published in the PA Gazette. All other appointed offices had several persons filling them. This William is likely to be the one that is in the following 1746 deed transaction: Commission Book A3 p. 347 and 349 On the fifth day of March in the year of our Lord One Thousand Seven Hundred Forty Six.. William Coats of the Northern Liberties of the city of Philadelphia Gentleman of the one part and Peter Aldermost of the City of Philadelphia in the province of Pennsylvania "weaver" on the other part witnesses that the said William Coates for and in consideration of ......a certain lot of land situated on Frankford Road in the Northern Liberties of the City of Philadelphia... 45 feet...all the ground between William Shukerson and Jo? Herbestons lotts...between William Sheeters lot to the Northward and John Herbestons lot to the southward .... Wit Grace Grisiom, John Sisom recorded 1767... Ann Coats wife of Thomas Coats, gentleman, late, Ann Sisom widow of John Sisom late of etc... (Ann Coates attested to the fact that her late husband, John Sisom, witnessed the original deed.) A William owned a house on the west side of the road leading from Philadelphia to Germantown on Apr. 2, 1747. A public Wharf was to be built on the adjacent property to it. (C-1741: #1152, C-1746) He is the William who requested that some of the land between Coats and Brown on 2nd and 3rd St. in Philadelphia be saved aside for the Coates Family Burying Ground in Deed Book E.F. No. 6, p. 113. (C-2188) His and his son's burial records are as follows in that "Coats Burial Ground" provided by Osborn Cresson. William Coats, Sr. died 4/1/1749, age _4 (the first number of the age is illegible). The wife of this William Coats is buried there, too, and she was Mary Coats, who died 12/1/1732, age 60. His son William Coats was buried there and had died in March _, 1749, age 36. He is therefore one of the following wills. William Sr. or Jr. left a will in 1749 in Philadelphia, PA in book F, p. 232 (C-1665, 1670, 1688) The event that follows shortly thereafter is related. William was listed as incapable for nearly the last 12 months of transacting his affairs or managing his estate in Northern Liberties of the city of Philadelphia on Jan. 13, 1746-7. His children, William Coats, Jr, Elizabeth Edge, Ann Kilcress (via John Coats, Sr., and Priscilla Brown, Desc (via Peter Brown) impowered Thomas Say, Sadler of Philadelphia, to manage William Coate, Sr.'s affairs. (C-1814) On April 13, 1748/1749, all persons indebted to the estate of William Cotes, Sr., and William Coats, Jr. late of Northern Liberties, brickmakers, deceased were asked to pay their respective debts in the PA Gazette. In the same article it then announces the publick sale of William Jr.'s estate on the 29th of April. It included his house, one negroe male, two horses, one mare, one cow, a small cart, one chair, and sundry household items. Executors appeared to be Thomas Say and John Cotes, Jr. (C-1813) | COATS, William Sr. (I14928)

His name might have been Jonathan as the abbreviation for John or Jonathan was used in his son William's burial record. It is theory that he is the son of Marmaduke and Rebecca. His parents do not have a match in Drayton where he had his sons. If this is correct, he would have named his son Thomas after his father's Mother's father, his gr. grandfather. I have not found another John in Free Reg records that could bit him. It is theory that he is the son of Marmaduke and Rebecca. His parents do not have a match in Drayton where he had his sons. If this is correct, he would have named his son Thomas after his father's Mother's father, his gr. grandfather.

| 3828 | There are several contradictory pieces of information on Mary's death date and place. However, it is clear that she moved to the Little Miami area of Ohio on certificate dated 9/25/1802. She is listed as Mary Paty, wife of Charles.d many other Quakers arrived by 12/25/1802. (C-1017) | JAY, Mary (I15794)

| 3829 | There are several Isabella Conley/Connelly's in the 1850 census. The one where she is listed as Isabella Conley, age 10, daughter of Hugh and Jane Conley, is not her. I found her transcribed birth record and this Isabella was born on F, 1840 in Bald Eagle, Centre Co., PA and her later husband was William Hayes. There is an Isabella Connelly living in South Ward, York Co., PA in the 1850 census listed at age 16. Her father was not living in the home. Her mother was Sarah, age 58. It was a large family with one older brother having the name of Harry. They were all born in Pennsylvania. A couple of the brothers were carpenters. The last possible match was an Isabella Connell who was the daughter of Alexander M. and Mary Connell. This was again a large family. He was a farmer. They lived in Conemaugh, Indiana Co., Pennsylvania. This ancestor seems to have been married to a Wilmer Rouch according to an 1860 Philadelphia Census and a Martin McGowen in the 1870 Philadelphia Census. The 1870 census appeared to have both of Isabella's children by a Rauch living with her children Isabel and Martin McGowan. The 1870 census gives her age as 30. (F-246 & 246a) Her grandson, Norman, referred to her as spunky "Grandmother McGowan". She was Irish. (F-17) There is an Isabella Rauch, dealer, who had stalls #501 and 503 in the Farmer's Market in the 1861 Philadelphia directory that might be this Isabella. However, her husband is not listed in the directory. It does however, list women with the word widow after their name in the same directory, so she probably is married at the time. (F-452) Isabel is buried at Old Cathedral Cemetery in Philadelphia. | CONNELLY, Isabella (I11704)

| 3830 | There are several persons living in Sborov Parish, Saros, Slovakia at the same time as Josephus who are likely his relatives. There is a Susanna Hruskovics who married Andreas Maskovics (p. 138), a year or two before Josephus married. There is a Susanna Hruskovics who had an illegitimate son, Paulus on Jan. 14, 1864 who was baptized on Jan. 17, 1864. There is a Maria Hruskovics married to Josephus Orlovszki who had a daughter, Maria on Dec. 1, 1864 who was baptized the same day she was born. A Joannes Hruskovics was the godfather for a Joannes ( )kovics who was baptized on Oct. 2, 1867. (D:DOC) I was unable to find he or his wife and family in the 1869 census for Presov, Zborov Parish, Slovakia in Ancestry. </line><line /><line>No father attended Josephus' wedding in 1861 suggesting he might have already died at the time or was working elsewhere. The only Hurskovits in Zborov around the time of Josephus' birth were couples named Martinus and Maria and Andras and Maria. We know his mother's name is Marias from his marriage record.</line><line /><line>The lazarus kit for John Joseph Dudick, Jr. gives his cousin, Philip HERSCHKOWITZ, GEDmatch Ref: 3875422 as a match 12.6 total cM's between them.

His son James inherited the same 12.6 cM's also suggesting that James was 5 generations away from this cousins' common ancestor. That tells us that this oldest unknown Hersch below is between 5 and 6 generations back.

| 3831 | There are some sources from the early 1900's that state that Moses and Martha came to America from England. (C-356, 1519f) This has been shown to simply be a misinterpretation of the truth, as the Coppocks had been in America from Englandnally since the 1680's. (C-710) It should be noted that all of the early 1900 records of many separate family members who submitted information to A.E.Krell, several of them state that they were descended from Moses and Martha Scarr Coppock. Martha Lester was the supposed widow of a Mr. Scarr before she married Moses. (C-683) The marriage record for Moses Coppock and Martha Lester in NJ Colonial Records, doesn't support this, as she is simply listed as Martha Lester. Moses is listed as Moses in his father's will, but is listed as Moses William or William Moses in many family lineages of him. This is a confusion with a Moses William Coppock who was a likely nephew of this Moses (son of his brother, Bartholomew?). (C-1304d, 1348) His birth is recorded at Chester Monthly Meeting, PA on 2d 5m 1708. He was willed 338 acres in Marlborough, Chester Co., PA in his grandfather, Bartholomew Sr.'s will in 1718 while still a youth. On Jan 26/27, 1729, he deeded 140 acres of this away to Francis Widlo of Marlborough when he had attained a majority in years. On Aug. 4, 1730, he sold 198 acres or the rest of the property he had been given by his grandfather, to Henry Camm, stocking weaver. Moses is listed as a yeoman of Marlborough in both of these deeds. A yeoman was the title for a farmer who owns his own land. I did not find him purchasing other land in Chester Co., PA in the abstracts through 1745. When he marries in 1740 in NJ, he is listed as "of Richalan, Bucks Co., PA". He is not however, listed in any land records for Bucks Co., Pennsylvania He was listed as a cordwainer by profession in Bucks Co., PA in the licenses in Trenton, NJ. (C-2137, 2221) In the NC Colonial Records, a Moses was enlisted in the Cherokee (French and Indian) Wars in Andrew Hampton's Co., under Col. Wm. Eaton of Granville Co., N.C. This record was dated 10/8/1754. This war service might apply to this Moses who would have been aged about 46 or his nephew, Moses William who would have been about age 18 at the time. Whoever the Moses is that is listed in Granville Co. Muster Rolls in 1754, is listed in the tax records for Granville Co., NC in 1755 with 1 white person in his household. This probably meant 1 white male over the age of 16. Females and children in the household typically weren't counted in these tax records. The next tax record to be taken in Granville wasn't till 1769 and no Coppocks were listed there at that time. I personally believe that this tax record supports the fact that the Coppock in Granville Co., NC in 1754 and 1755 was our Moses because as a general rule, the age to own land and thus be taxed at the time was commonly age 21. In all probability this rules out the 18 or 19 year old Moses William Coppock. Moses was still living in Granville, NC in May of 1763 when he signed his named Moses Coppack to a petition to repeal an extra tax on Mulato's and free negroes. It was presented to the North Carolina Council at that time. Again, however, the deed records give no further clues as there are no Coppocks involved in buying or selling land in Granville Co., NC in this time frame. The events that do place him in Granville from 1754 to 1763 disproves the statement in the "History of Coates and Coppock Families", that Moses settled in Newberry Co., SC in Feb. 1758 where his son James was born shortly thereafter. No proof has been found at this point that Moses ever lived in South Carolina. (C-1304c.2, 1519f, 2221, 2245) There is contradictory information available about Moses's death. Many sources state that he was killed by Indians and this occurred in 1754 or 1760. His approximated death date is now sometime between May 1763 and Dec. 1767 when his wife only is listed as she petitions the Newberry, SC council for 300 acres of land on Bush River. (Note that it is the same day that son-in-law Marmaduke petitions for land). She is also listed as a widow when she actually finalizes the land deal of 300 acres in 1771 in what is then called Berkeley Co, South Carolina. Since her husband would have been the purchaser of the land in 1767 if he had been living, it can be assumed that he was dead by the Dec. 1767 date. According to letters from Mary Helen Pemberton in 1982, he was killed by Indians near White Lick Meeting house. White Lick reported to the Bush River Monthly Meeting so this still needs verified. (C-253b, 2221, 2289, 2245, 2289, E) | COPPOCK, Moses (I11926)

| 3832 | There are two male Culpepper's in Barbados records that I have found so far that could easily be relatives of Mary. This info is according to the "Omitted Chapters from Hotten's Original Lists of Persons of Quality." The first part described below was a census taken in 1680. Mr. Francis Culpeppar who owned 74 acres, 2 servants and 22 slaves. Mr. Allen Culpepper who owned 150 acres, 3 servants and 30 slaves. By a measure of wealth, though its always sad to think about anyone with slaves, Mr. Allen Culpepper is probably the elder sibling of Francis. Francis by name, would account for Samuel and Mary's first daughter being named Francis if he was the father of Mary. Culpeppers/Colepepers in England were primarily in Kent, Middlesex, Sussex and Worcestshire Counties. | CULPEPPER, Mary * (I15024)

| 3834 | There are two theories on her parentage. One is that she is the daughter of a John Rotton, but Billie Jones' theory is that she's the daughter of a William and Lydia Loveless Rotton which seems logical as one of their sons has Loveless asdle name. Billie Jones theorizes that the following 1880 census record might apply to this Nancy Rotton, if she was married to a Forster before she married Marmaduke and had a daughter Elizabeth with her first husband.1880 Census Place Daleville, Lauderdale, Mississippi p. 150B [Source FHL Film 1254653 National Archives Film T9-0653] Relation Sex Marr Race Age birth place OccCon FOSTER Self M M W 40 MS Occ Farmer Fa AL Mo ALElizabeth FOSTER Wife F M W 39 AL Occ Keeps House Fa AL Mo ALJoel Dj.

|
| 3840 | There is a controversy in the Calhoun YDNA group that has 6 persons whom have tested who believe they are descended from this James in the E-M35 group and 3 in a grouping with a haplotype of r1b1a2. The Clan Colquhoun International Tree on Ancestry, currently believes he is the one who is a brother to Hugh Calhoun and that they are not the sons of Rev. Alexander, but have a common ancestor further back in time. He is often referred to as James Patrick Calhoun in various family tree. He is listed as Patrick in the administration of his estate as follows: South Carolina Genealogies, Volume 1, page 284, by A. S. Salley. It was reported that Mr. George Edson, editor of The Stewart Clan, discovered the records of administration of estate of Patrick Calhoun, with wife named as Catherine, father of four sons who were in Augusta County, Virginia in 1746 to 1756. Inventory was made in 1741, listing plantation and crops, four horses, a goat, six cows, five young cattle, nineteen sheep, swine, wagon, gears, plows, irons, tools and household goods, total of 152 pounds and 5 shillings. Catherine, the widow, renounced the right of administration in favor of Ezekial and William Calhoun. A bond was signed by Ezekial, William, John Noble and James Mitchell, all of Lancaster County. This was accepted by the court May 4, 1743 and settlement was made by May 4, 1744. James Calhoun arrived in the colonies in 1733 according to the book by Charles A. Hanna, The Scotch-Irish. Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., 1995. Volume I. Page: 54 along with his wife and six children. His descendants soon moved to the waters of Kenawha in Wythe Co., Virginia according to "Colonial Familes". This matches with info on the James McCall family that was on the same ship in 1733 that arrived in Philadelphia. "James McCall and all of his sons were all soldiers in the Revolution. James (McCall) was probably born in 1721 in County Donegal, Ulster, Ireland. He arrived in Philadelphia, PA in 1733 accompanied by his (non-genetic) brothers: William and Thomas and sister Elizabeth; cousins: Francis and Thomas; along with James Harris and his family and James Calhoun and his family. The three families settled in Conachcocheque Creek, PA and later moved to New River or Little Kenhoway in the western part of Virginia where there remained for a number of years. James McCall was living in Wythe Co., VA in 1756 when the French Indian War broke out. Believing the wilds of the mountainous Virginia to be unsafe for their family, James and his wife Janet Harris McCall (daughter of James Harris above) moved to Mecklenburg, NC in 1756. (James McCall Jr. removed to the Calhoun Settlement in SC in 1771.)" Perhaps descendants of James and Catherine Calhoun's descendants took the same route too as the article mentions that they moved from Pennsylvania (Chester, Lancaster, Cumberland PA, to Augusta 1746 to Wythe Co., VA.) to the Carolinas together. His descendants were driven from this Virginia territory after Bradock's defeat in 1755 and established Calhoun settlement in Abbeville, SC. Disaster again struck in 1760 when according to Colonial Families of the U.S., James, the eldest son and his mother were slain in the Long Cane Creek Massacre. Other sources says it's James' mother and wife who were slain. In any case, Catherine Montgomery Calhoun's aged gravestone proves that his wife was killed by Indians in Feb. of 1760. Colonial Families lists his children as James of Pennsylvania, William, John, Catherine and Ezekial who died in 1662 in SC. "Colonial Families of the US" states that he descends through a much different branch of Calhouns than Hugh Calhoun. However, Colonial Families is the one that traces James Patrick Calhoun back through the same ancient Colquhouns as the rest of his originally thought to be brothers starting with Humphrey Colquhoun (1350-1406). At this point, we don't know which is correct. Here is the link in Colonial Familes for him of import. https://www.ancestry.com/imageviewer/collections/61175/images/colonialfamiliesvi-004170_122?treeid=&personid=&usePUB=true&_phsrc=RAV11401&_phstart=successSource&pId=13869 However, it is incorrect in that it can't account for missing generations and there never was a Humphrey Colquhoun 4th Baronet of Luss according to Wikipedia.

| 3841 | There is a Curry cemetery just north of Gallia County that could have relatives of Anne buried there. The Curry's lived between Vinton and Wilkesville. The Curry Church Cemetery is located in Section 22, 3 miles west of Wilkesville on Rt. 124, then one half mile south on Township Rt. 4. The Curry graves are surrounded by a terrace. (CL-306) Ann is referred to as Amy in an abstracted copy of William's will. This might simply be a misinterpretation of the original or her nickname. I suspect it's a misspelling of a possible nickname, "Anny". (CL-451) This Ann is the half sibling of her currently listed brother James Albert McComb via an autosomal DNA match. Ann is not listed as the daughter of Elizabeth McCombe and Robert Curry in Andrew McCombe's will. Therefore, it appears that Robert Curry had 3 wives. His 3rd wife if suggested to be Andrew McCombe's daughter Jane, also deceased. He does not name the children of Jane McCombe and Robert Curry. | CURRY, Ann * (I16066)

| 3842 | There is a David James who enlisted in the War of 1812 on Mar 3, 1814, discharged Aug 15, 1815. He attained the rank of Captain in the army under Capt. William Wilson's Co. He is possibly this David James or a son of this Dnd brother to our Eleanor James. He died Oct. 7, 1857 and is buried at Oldside Baptist, Pleasant Twp., Perry Co., Ohio. (CL-99) Eleanor's sister, Elizabeth, is thought to be in this family. She is listed as the daughter of a David and Mary James from L., Cardiganshire, WALES and born 5 years after Eleanor. (CL-202) There is a Mathias James who died in 1818 in Green Twp., Gallia Co., Oh and had a John James for his administrator. There is also a Henry and John James who both purchased congressional lands in Gallia Co. in 1839 who could be brothers to our Eleanor. (CL-449, 450) As to the parentage of David James, I've found three possible leads so far. The first two are records from the I.G.I. files from the Jesus Christ Church of Latter Day Saints in Reynoldsburg, Ohio. The best records are as follows: David James, son of Morgan James, christened 20th Jan. 1753 in Pembroke Co., Llanddewi, Velfrey. (CL-182,191a); or son of Rowland James and Hannah, chr. June 23, 1753 in Carmarthen, Llandilo, Fawr. (CL-191a) The third possibility is from Russ James who had an ancestor named David James b. on April 25, 1764 in Pembrokeshire, Wales who died on May 3, 1843 in Henry Co., Tennessee. (CL-321) Back in Wales, an 1851 census that probably applies to this David James. He was born in 1761 in the same place that another source source said he was born, Llanddewibrefi, Montgomeryshire, Wales. His wife's name was Margaret born 1796 in Llanddewibrefi, Montgomeryshire, Wales. In 1851, they lived in Llanddewibrefi, Montgomeryshire, Wales. He was an agricultural laborer. Though his wife's name does not match, he is the only David James born in the town of his birth in the right time period. It likely means that he had a second wife named Margaret. | JAMES, David (I11718)

| 3843 | There is a Desire Bunnell who married a William Parker in Feb. 25, 1779 and a Michael Tainter on Nov. 23, 1780 that could be this Desire Bunnell instead. All three marriages took place in Wallingford, CT. (F-11) | BUNNELL, Desire (I11653)

| 3845 | There is a George Coates living in Greene Co., Illinois in 1920 who was born about 1874 in Illinois who might be this Coates. If this is him, he had a son George, b. 1912 and an Uncle George W., b. 1842 living with him. All were born inis. George W.'s parents were listed as being born in Illinois also. All the dates and places fit with this family, except that George W's father would have been born in South Carolina. The family might not have known. | COATS, George Tilden (I2308)

| 3846 | There is a George Harmon who married a Mary Foss on Nov. 26, 1760 in the ARA Submitter Files #1 CD-ROM disk. There is a George Herman who was born Oct 20, 1752 in Germany and he married Margrate Sangle Sep 12, 1779 who died on Oct 4, 183e was in the Pennsylvania Line in the Revolutionary War and left pension application, R4616. Any of these could be this George Harmon instead. (C-394) George along with his brother Mathias moved to Shelby Co., KY in the later 1790's. Some of the these two Harmon families moved onward to Indiana. (C-2420) | HARMON, George (I7618)

| 3847 | There is a Jacob Coots in the minutes of July 15, 1767 Rowan County Court ofQ&PS. He is listed as a constable for John McKnight. John McKnight lived in the part of Rowan County in 1768 that became Iredell Co., North Carolina. It'sy that Jacob (Coots) (Coates) is also from the Iredell Co., NC region. It's only a guess that he might be this Jacob Coates who is the son of John Coate and Esther Doughty. Their son's whereabouts after his birth is unknown. Since he was the first born and his brother, Henry, born 2 years after him was named the executor of their father's will, it's also entirely possible that he died young. | COATE, Jacob (I1411)
|
| 3848 | There is a James Coate who might be this James living in Chester Co., SC in the 1820 census. He and his wife were between the ages of 26 and 45. He had one son under age 10, 2 between 10 and 16 and one between 16 and 26. He also had 2ers between 10 and 16. (C-1571) In this grouping, he is highly likely to have an 18 year old child and have been married about 1801. This would make his birth date calculated at 1780 or earlier. He would have been at least age 36 to have a son between 16 and 26 unless he was a hired hand or relative. | COATE, James (I929)
|
| 3849 | There is a James Coppock who was born circa 1759 and died 1838 according to his gravestone in Frederick Cemetery, Miami Co., OH who might be this James Coppock.
