| 4251 | Warren Coate taught school at Wilmington, Ohio where I believe he had gone to college. He then married and inherited the large dairy farm in Ludlow Falls, Ohio from his father. He somehow lost possession of it financially about 1899, ah point he and his wife Ida Jane and family moved to Piqua, Ohio. They rented a house owned by (Mary) Jane Mast Pickering at 309 Wood St. Warren went to work for a dairy farm across the street from there. When he no longer could do that hard labor, he helped his wife run the boarding house that was one side of the home they were renting. (Mary) Jane Mast Pickering was very aged and didn't know that her relatives renting her home were also running a boarding house for a good 20 year period. This is also the home she later rented to Albert Pickering Coate and Maude Stevens Coate, my dad's parents, several times. (Interview of my father, Albert Edward Coate, C-54 & 606) Warren's grandson, Richard Coate, remembers him handing him a "Milky Way" candy bar when he was just a preschooler. It made a lasting impression. He also remembers him sweeping the rows between the corn in the backyard garden with a broom! On Warren's death certificate, he was listed as a gardener by occupation. He lived on Urbana Pike R.R. 5 St. in Piqua, Ohio at his death. He died of Volvulus of a transverse colon in Memorial Hospital on Sep. 27, 1929. (C-1847, DOC) | COATE, Warren C. * (I11797)

| 4252 | Warren was in some of the worst battles in World War II. For most of his life, he could not bring himself to discuss the war at all. Reunions with old war buddies eventually helped him open up on the subject. He was one of 9 who survit of 125 men in Hurtingken Forest. He was in the Utah Beach invasion, 8th Infantry/ 4th Division under Sgt. Dagastina. He was at Omaha Beach eleven days after D-Day and saw all the tanks and trucks languishing in the water from the orginal battle. He was at the liberation of Paris where he had his first taste of champaigne. Crowds of thousands were throwing flowers and tomatoes as thanks. Women were throwing themselves on the soldiers. Half of his division went AWOL for up to a week there was so much celebrating going on. As they left town, the celebrating throngs of people thinned out. As the third plattoon passed, they were attacked and 33 more men died. His plattoon was the last to pass. They were fighting the Germans and pushing them back as they went. His regiment took Orley Fields outside of Paris. Some of the incindental stories he related was his remembrance of the cans of celery soup that heated themselves when you opened them with phosphorous. When they entered the town of Schubers, the soldiers were given cigarettes and chocolate to throw up to the residents to let them know the Americans had arrived and the Germans were gone. He received hearing damage on about July 24th when they had captured some Germans. There were so few men left, that they had 1 man per fox hole. He was almost shelled when trying to go the restroom. Warren jumped into a ditch to avoid the shells and hit face down into a German latrine. The incident left him with hearing loss. After the war, Warren attended Ohio State University on the GI Bill as a young man, but dropped out when he married Helen. They were the aunt and uncle on my Dad's side that I was closest to growing up. He was a homebuilder by trade. Years ago, he was a partner with his brother, Bob Coate. I believe their business was called Bob Coate Builders. I have a flyer from his current business, Coate Homes, North Carolina., in the Coate document file. They taught my father this business when we moved from Fairfield, Ohio to Columbus. (C-537, 1779, 2457) | COATE, Warren Floyd (I11974)

| 4253 | We are certain that this John is a cousin to the following persons below whom are grandchildren and great grandchildren of Marmaduke and Marie Coate of Curry Rivel. We also can deduce that this John can't descend from William or Henry bechey are his cousin lines. He can't descend from Roger as he died as an infant. That means, he had to have descended from Marmaduke and Marie's son Thomas or from an another son of Marmaduke who was left out of his will. Marmaduke had left a will naming his children that were living at the time in 1617. He could be Thomas's son or more likely grandson by his age. John wrote a will in 1686 that was probated in 1692. He was married to his "now wife" Frances and because they had no children at the time, he gave his estate to:1. The 4 eldest children of his cousin, Mary Prigg in the parish of Drayton. She was the widow of Marmaduke Coate. We don't know all of the children they had together, but it was obviously more than 4 children. Marmaduke was the son of Henry "the Elder" and grandson of Marmaduke and Marie Coate of Curry Rivel.2. To Marmaduke Coate, eldest son of his cousin, William Coate, 4 acres in Middlemore. William was the son of William and grandson of Marmaduke and Marie Coate whom was married to Elizabeth Combstock.3. To John Coate, eldest son of Marmaduke all his lands at Wiletown in the parish of Curry Rivel or if Marmaduke's son John dies then to his brother William instead. Marmaduke was the son of William and Johanne Browning and grandson of Marmaduke and Marie Coate. He is listed as a widow in his burial record. Both the fact that he describes Frances as his current wife and the fact that he was a widow in his burial record indicate he had been married at least twice. | COATE, John (I6734)

| 4254 | We do not know who the parents of James, or John of Naked Creek, Augusta Co., Virginia are with certainty. I have my theory based upon 40 years of research and the only first-hand evidence there is. Naked Creek appears to be about 22 miles northeast of the Beverly Manor Plat with the Borden Manor area being in between the 2 though this is a guess based upon a composite of maps that I could be judging incorrectly. Naked Creek literally is on the border between Rockingham County and Augusta Co., Virginia. We do know that DNA evidence absolutely shows that my James Young is related to John and Annie Houston. As for the subject of this biography, James of Naked Creek, Augusta Co., VA. We know he interacted with John's children of Naked Creek. John bought land in 1748 on Naked Creek, Augusta Co., and James came from Cecil Co., MD in 1768 to buy land nearby John. We also know that my James is too young to have been the son of John and Annie as he is believed to have fought in the American Revolution from his possible gravestone. Nor is James the likely son of John and Annie's sons Robert (not in will) or Dr. John (died without heirs). James isn't the son of James C. Young. James C. had a son James, but his son James definitely died in the early 1760's. This James on Naked Creek died in 1790. My current best theory is that James and peer, John, both of Naked Creek, are nephews of the early (1730-1740's) Youngs in Augusta County. I am currently theorizing that Robert Young of Cecil Co., MD is the father of our James Young because of the following record in Chalkley. "*Bond by William Young, of Cecil County, Province of Maryland, to James Hettly, of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, dated 29th April, 1756, assigned to James Young, 28th February, 1775." This suggests that William Young had died, and the bond he had posted for James Hettley was transferred to the responsibility of his eldest living son, James in 1775. In decades of searching, this is the only connection I have found for our James of Cecil Co., MD and Naked Creek, Augusta Co. to the previous generation. William was the son of Andrew Lamont Young. This would explain the DNA matches I have to Andrew Lamont Young via his son, John Young married to Annie Houston. It seems likely to me that our James of Naked Creek is the likely brother to John of Naked Creek. Robert Young Sr. who witnessed his will could be his nephew Robert. John and James would be sons of the Robert of Cecil Co., MD in this hypothesis. James had only daughters. His peer and likely brother, John, named his first son John (probably after himself) and his second son Robert (possibly after his father?). Hence this is why I have the theory that John and James are the sons of Robert of Cecil Co., MD. It is not likely that this James Young was the one in 1760 who was delineated by the Clerk of Courts as James Young, "Taylor" in Augusta Co., Virginia because our James was listed as of Cecil Co., MD, in his 1769 deed purchase of land on Naked Creek, Augusta, Virginia. We don't know which one was the tailor at this point in time other than we know it wasn't his possible nephew or 1st cousin, once removed named James. He is probably not the Constable James in the following record from Chalkley, V. II: 1767--Constables: Fras Graham, Jno. Griffith, Jos. Dennis, Thos. Cartmil, Solomon Carpenter, Wm. Jemmison, Jno. Clark, Charles Campbell, Wm. McMullen, Wm. Paxton, Hugh Hicklin, James Young for the same reason. His most likely land purchase is in the following Chaukley V. 3 record: Page 164.--22d November, 1769. Samuel Black and Rebecca ( ) to James Young, of Sissel County, Maryland, (Cecil Co., MD) ? 90, 200 acres on a branch of Naked Creek conveyed to Samuel by Thomas Watterson, James McConnal's land. James is listed as being of Cecil Co., MD in 1769 when he purchased land on Naked Creek, Augusta Co., Virginia. His likely brother, John had moved there in 1748. There is a well-researched theory by Katherine Bushman. According to her, Cecil Co., MD Youngs are almost non-existant meaning that it was a stopover before moving onto Augusta Co., VA. There is a Jacob and John Young there in 1748. A William Young is a bondman in 1756 there. A Robert Young bought goods in Cecil Co., MD in 1758 and a James Young is also only mentioned once in that region. All of these but Jacob are believed to be relatives of the Youngs in Augusta Co., Virginia or Youngs that moved to Augusta Co., Virginia. Of these, Robert (possible son of Andrew Lamont Young) is my best theory on the parent of James and John. He is the James Young in the following Chalkley transcription from Volume 3, "Page 546.--6th December, 1774. Thomas Watterson's will, farmer--To wife Mary to Nevey William Watterson. Executors, wife Mary and James Bell. Teste: James Young, Elizabeth (mark) McCamas, George Glenn. Proved, 17th February, 1778, by Young and Glenn. Widow Mary qualifies. James's Young's will in Augusta Co., VA, Will Book VII, pg. 292, are in this abstract by Dr. Robert Frey. "16 Nov 1790: To Agnes Miller, wife to Wert Miller, daughter to George Glenn; to James Glenn, son to George Glenn; to William Glenn, son to George Glenn; to Sarah Glenn, daughter to George Glenn; to Martha Glenn, daughter to George Glenn; to Hugh Glenn, son to George Glenn; to Mary Glenn, daughter to George Glenn, infant; to Margaret, Esther, Elizabeth, Martha, John, James, William Bing, children to John Bing; to son-in-law George Glenn, to son-in-law John Bing, executors. Teste: Robert Young, Jr; Robert Young, Sr.; Sarah Young (Wife or daughter of Robert Young?). Proved 21st December 1790, by all witnesses. George Glenn (Son-in-law) and Wm. Young [son of Robert Young Sr. or gr. nephew]" Most of his witnesses are one or two generations younger than James indicating again that he was quite elderly at the time of the writing of his will. James Young apparently only bequeathed items to grandchildren of two daughters. (CL-185) (Note that these Glenn grandchildren are listed in the identical order in Hugh Glenn's family bible and that Mary was simply age 12 at the time. Her brother Hugh Glenn, age 16, was not named an infant.) (CL-185) It's likely that his second wife had died by the time he wrote his will. Since he gave household goods to the Glenn children, it also suggests that he could have been living with them at the time of the writing of his will. Because James named no son in his will, it is assumed that he had no sons. I wouldn't rule that out however, as many Young's from this area had started moving to other territories like Kentucky and Tennessee by 1790 when he wrote his will and James died well enough into old age that he could have had a son die previously to him. The people who witness James' will all lived on or near Naked Creek, Augusta Co., VA when he wrote it. They would be his relatives. Namely, Robert Sr. Young could be a brother to him, possible son of William Young or Robert Young of Cecil Co., MD and Naked Creek, Augusta Co., VA. and his possible sister-in-law or niece, Sarah. Robert Jr. Young would be Robert Sr.'s son. When Robert Young Sr. died and left a will in 1793, he names George Glenn (James' son-in-law) as his executor. According to "Augusta County Heritage Book", James died on Dec. 21, 1790 and was in the American Revolution as stated on his gravestone. This record applies to him in Chaukley, Vol. 2, Page 427.--James Young's estate appraised 8th January, 1791.

Samuel was of very poor intellect and quite an idiot. Joseph died and left will dated 11th September, 1757, wherein he gave a part of his land "The Welch Cabin" unto Samuel. James Young persuaded Samuel to convey his land to him, in consideration that James paid him in victuals, Bill to set aside conveyance. *Oct 21, 1778 pg.

| 4256 | We finally know which family line Moses descends from. He triangulates with descendants of Ann and Charles Coates who are said to be the children of Thomas Coote, Esq. and his wife Ann in Wikipedia. Because Moses was not listed in the church records as the son of Thomas and Ann and because there daughter Elizabeth was baptised 3 months before the birthdate for Moses in Quaker records, I cannot be certain that he is a child of Ann Lovett. Besides multiple triangulations with this family, his "sister" Anne Coote/Coates Parker, names early children Moses and Susanna after her predicted brother and his wife. They also both lived in Chester Co., PA. Moses names his first son Thomas (after his father) but names no daughters Ann. The Coote family from which they descend had great wealth, were government leaders and descend from King Charles according to transcripts from a grand child of Ann Coote/Coates Packer. In 1731, Moses purchased land at the site of Phoenixville, in Charlestown, PA and settled there. The name of his wife was Susanna, and among his children were Samuel, Moses, Jr., Benjamin, Jonathan, Aaron, and Elizabeth, married to John Mendenhall." (C-1601) They were Quakers in this country but was likely raised Presbyterian in Ireland. On Sep 24, 1741, he is likely the Moses who placed an ad in the PA Gazette about a dun colored mare that wandered onto his property at French Creek, Charles Town, Chester Co., Pennsylvania. He was seeking the owner. Again on Jan. 7, 1742 in that same paper, he advertised the runaway of his Irish Servant, Cornelius Cannor and offered a reward of 3 pounds in retrieving him. (Pennsylvania Gazette) It is also likely that this is the Moses whom received a letter that was still sitting in the Chester Co., PA Post Office dated Aug 9, 1759. (C-1681, 1743, 1809) His will is transcribed here from Truman's book via an email from Charlotte Coats. #1391 M-99, MOSES COATES of Charletown Apr.14, 1761 - Apr 25, 1761. "Whereas, I Moses Coates of Charlestown township, Chester County and Province of Pennsylvania, being weak in Body, but of Sound and Perfect Memory, do this fourtheenth day of April, Anno Domini one thousand seven hundred and sixty-one, make and publish this my last will and testament, hereby disannuling and revoking all former wills by me made whatsoever.

(C-1789, 2150, E-from Will Book M, p. 99 or p. 59) This branch is possibly related to the Boelah Coates listed in a Philadelphia; Pennsylvania newspaper called the American Weekly Mercury in 1726. He/she lived in New Castle, Kent, or Sussex Counties (which all happen to be in the state of Delaware). He/she was one of a list of business persons accepting Bills of Credit to encourage improvement of business in very difficult times. Most of the list were male names so it's highly likely that Boelah Coates was male. | COATES, Moses R-FT394633 predicted (Became Quaker and moved to Carlow M.M. Ireland bef.

| 4258 | We have multiple triangulations with members of Judi Garst Schramm's family on chromosome 1 with 14.9 segments in common on average between my father, my uncle and her or her family members. They descend through this Mast's daughters Anneagdelena and his son's brother Jacob 3 times. We also have the following triangulation between cousins on Gedmatch: NP6702865, A212435 and my uncle Richard. Even at small cM matches: the minute a triangulation is found it proves that the segments are all inherited from the same common ancestral couple as long as they only have one ancestral line in common. In this case it is Johannes or John Mast born abt. 1712. All children of this Mast named one of their first 3 sons, Jacob for their Uncle who brought them over and also named sons Christian for another Uncle. The following account is quoted from Judge Evan P. Middleton's HISTORY OF CHAMPAIGN CO., OHIO, Vol. II, published by Bowen Co., 1917, pp. 355-356. "The Mast family in America is descended from Bishop Jacob Mast, a leader in the Mennonite church, a Swiss by birth, who was born in 1738 and who was early orphaned. While he was still in his boyhood, he came to this country from Switzerland (from the port of Rotterdam) with his four sisters and a younger brother, John, the children being in the care of their benevolent uncle, Johannes Mast, and settled in Berks County, Pennsylvania, where the family is still influentially represented. It was on Nov. 3, 1750, that the party landed from the ship "Brotherhood," at the port of Philadelphia, young Jacob Mast, being then 12 years of age. They joined the Amish Mennonites in Berks County and there the lad grew to manhood firmly grounded in the simple faith of his father and his daily associates. There he married Magdalene Holly and there he established his home---(He was) elected in 1788 (in the Amish Mennonite Church in Conestoga, PA) to serve as bishop---(He) died in 1808 (and was buried where) Pine Grove Cemetery (now is)." I have included this account under Jacob Mast's father's data because of the invaluable data that can be gained about the rest of the family from it. | MAST, Johannes Sr. (I8085)

| 4259 | We have several cousins who descend from different sons of Samuel in our YDNA group to prove our descent from Samuel Coate, b. 1670! See these findings at: http://www.ancestrees.com/henrycoatebabt1595ydnagroup.html Samuel Coate from Somersetshire, England first appears in Pennsylvania with his father, John Coate in 1685. (C-568) He could be the Samuel Coates who arrived in Maryland in 1682. In 1699, through an instrument in writing, his father gave him 200 acres of land that he had purchased on Mar 13, 1689 from Israel Taylor. Samuel, himself, had purchased 23 more acres from this same Israel Taylor on Nov. 16, 1696. After his father's death, in late 1699 or early 1700, Samuel sold the land he inherited from his father John and settled in Burlington Co., NJ. One source entitled, "The Samuel Coate Family" says that Samuel settled near his brother, Marmaduke, who came over in 1717 (1713) and settled in Burlington Co. as proved by the will of Ann Coate, widow of Marmaduke. (1929) (C-549d) I believe tis brother relationship to be an error as John Coate had a son Samuel but no known son, Marmaduke. It is more likely that Samuel and Marmaduke were cousins and this was the kinship referred to in Ann Coate's will. Another possible way the "Samuel Coate Family" erred in saying he lived near his brother, Marmaduke, is that Samuel did live fairly near his older brother James, who came to Philadelphia. James and his other brother Henry supposedly came over after their father, John and brother Samuel. (C-1542) He appears often in Quaker records in the Middletown Monthly Meeting of Friends, Bucks Co., Pennsylvania. He signed a testimony against the sale of "rum or other strong liquors to the Indian" on 11/5/1687. He witnessed several marriages: 1) Jeffery Hawkins and Ellen Pierson on 9/21/1687 at the home of the bride, 2) William Smith and Mary Cronasdale on 1/12/1688, and 3) his elder brother James and Mary Watson at the Philadelphia Meeting House on 12/8/1691/92. He was a member of the Grand Jury of the Quarter Sessions Court in Bucks County, PA on 7/13/1693. He was a road juror ordered by the court to help lay out a cart road from Newtown to the ferry house at a session dated 12/1693, the second Wednesday of the month. He declared his intention to marry Mary Sanders on 11/3/1694/5 at the Middletown Meeting. Samuel and Mary also declared their intention to marry at the Falls Meeting on 12/6/1694/5 also. It appears they went to both meeting houses a second time to inform all interested family and friends of their intent to marry on 12/7/1694/5 and 1/6/1694/5 before proceeding to marry. Samuel was on a Petit Jury on 10/9/1696, a Common Pleas Jury on the 10th month, 1697 and a Grand Jury on 7/14/1698 and 1/8/1698/9. In 1700, after his move to Burlington Co., NJ, there is a Samuel Coate who was listed as one of the men who helped survey and lay out a by-road for accommodating the "back inhabitants" leading into the Kings Road. (C-1668) Since he is the ony Samuel I know of living in Burlington Co., NJ in 1702, the following records also likely apply to him. He and Samuel Beard acknowledged to the court that they owed the King forty lbs. which was to be levied on their goods, chattles and tenements on condition that Samuell Coates keep the peace particularly toward Elizabeth White and Elizabeth Brown. These two women had attested to the court that they were afraid he would abuse or ravish them and felt their lives were in danger. The court then ordered Samuel Coates to find security to prove his intention was peaceful. Samuel was also charged with four others of neglecting service on the road in that year. In that same year in court, Samuel was named as one of the new Constables from Burlington. These records were summarized in "The Burlington Court Book, a Record of Quaker Jurisprudence in West New Jersey, 1680-1709", by H. Clay Reed. (C-1673) On 1/10/1702/3, he submitted the purchase of a deed for 3 acres of land in Newtown, with the deed dated 9/16/1696. He appears to have sold that land plus 19 other acres to Shadrack Walley on that same day, 1/10/1702/3 and then submit it to te courts on 7/8/1703. In 1705 he was named as a Grand Juror in the court records. (C-1673) The Old York Road went from Market St. in Philadelphia through Newtown, Bucks Co., PA to land he later bought in Springfield, Burlington, NJ and in 1722 in Amwell Twp., Hunterdon Co., NJ (at least 400 acres) over the Delaware River. It appears his sons inherited different parts of this land that had then become Bethlehem Twp. which later became Kingwood, Hunterdon Co., NJ and possibly Amwell Co., NJ.

Quaker minutes mention sons John and Henry and in the Women's minutes from Buckingham it mentions Mary Coate and daughter Elizabeth. (C-549c, 995, 1086) Samuel purchased the land they moved to in 1723 on April 17, 1722: 400 acres of land in Amwell Twp., Hunterdon Co. from Robert Eaton adjoining John Holcombe's land. (This land is now a part of Mercer Co., NJ.) Samuel Coate was listed as of Springfield, Burlington Co., NJ at the time. He also purchased an additional adjoining 100 acres according to the deed where his son William sells 150 acres of the land in 1728. (I'm suggesting this extra land purchase also included land in what became Bethlehem Twp. (and then Kingwood Twp.) as that is where we can verify his son John's land was. He was a carpenter and appears to have established a ferry service there known as Coate's Ferry on the Delaware River. Opposite him was a service owned by John Wells known as "Wells ferry" on the Pennsylvania side of the Delaware. It is interesting to note that this ferry service later became known as Coryell's Crossing (Corryell's Ferry in Lamberton, NJ) and was where Washington crossed the Delaware in the Revolutionary War and is the scene of the famous painting of same. It was approximately 5 miles from what had become Trenton, NJ at the time. On Aug. 24, 1723, John Bainbridge, Samuel Coate, Thomas Curtis, Joshua Anderson, Andrew Smith, and Nathaniel Leonard, freeholders, received tax money from Capt. Ralph Hunt for the running of the government in Maidenhead, Hopewell, Amwell and Trnton Townships, NJ. I have no further details in his involvement in running the townships than this record in the deeds of NJ. (C-2152) After Samuel's death in 1723, his land on the hill along Yoark Road went to sons John, Henry, and William. His will was written Nov. 22, 1723 and proved Jan. 8, 1723/24. It lists wife Mary, children: John, Henry, William, Marmaduke, Samuel ad Elizabeth. (C-549d, 1078, 1433) In his will, he is referred to as Samuel Coate, Gentleman, of Amwell, Hunterdon Co., NJ. He bequeathed 200 aces to son John, 200 to son Henry and the rest to son William. His Executors were sons, John and Henry. It was witnessed by Jon Holcombe, John Wells, and Benjamin Willcocks. The inventory of his estate dated Dec. 23, 1723 included a clock, the family bible and other books and was made by George Green and John Holcombe In 1728, his son John sold 200 acres of the tract of land he was given by his father, to John Purcell. In 1732, John Coate, of Bethlehem, N.J. (which later became Kingwood Twp., NJ) sold 30 acres more of this land to John Holcombe. It is a home built by this John Holcombe that Washington stayed in twice during the Revolutionary War. (This 1732 deed mentions adjoining posts belonging to William and Henry Coate's lands.) (C-153) Two Coate names appear in Freeholders lists for New Jersey, that could be his sons. John Coates was a landholder who was selected as the 42nd juror in Bethlehem Twp., Hunterdon Co., NJ in 1741 (Vol. 37, pg. 56-Genealogical Mag. of N.J.) and Henry Coates was a land holder in Amwell Twp., Hunterdon Co., NJ. (C-294, Vol. 37, p.54) Son Marmaduke is in Quaker records when he married Sarah Mathis in Little Egg Harbor, 1747. (C-549c) Son William is still puzzling. He or his uncle account for the William who witnessed a Quaker marriage in Burlington County, NJ. He sold his land, 150 acres, that he inherited from his father, Samuel, on May 21, 1729 to William Cornwell. (C-549d). We do not know how much land he received from his father, as deed records do not tell us the amount that Samuel first purchased. We know it was large enough to encompass 197 acres that went to his son-in-law, Roger Fort, 200 acres to son John, 200 acres to son Henry and all the rest which included at least 150+ plus acres to son William. That could also indicate that William is his oldest living son. It is likely that he still retained some land as his name is mentioned in a deed of sale by his brother in 1732. (C-153) This is possibly the William who moved to what became Newberry County, SC by 1762. (See William's bio on ancestrees for further details as he could also be the William Coats who lived in Northern Liberties, Philadelphia, PA by 1734.) | COATE, Samuel * (I11710)

| 4260 | We know for certain that Nathaniel is the son of Isaac as there have been at least 5 DNA matches from all of Isaac's son's lines that match back to Isaac. (https://www.familytreedna.com/public/Tobin) We don't yet have DNA evidence that Is the son of James and Esther Tobin as often placed in print. (2015) Nathaniel, farmer, "of Loudoun County" bought two lots in Washington, Culpepper Co., Virginia, in 1800. He and Elizabeth and his father apparently moved onto this property in 1806. In 1810 he is the Nathaniel that is living in Culpepper Co., Virginia. That Nathaniel has 3 males age 0-10; 1 male age 26-45; 1 female age 0-10; and 1 female age 26-45. Nathaniel and family moved to Guernsey Co., Ohio in about 1823/24. His father Isaac followed him there several years after. (CL-111) Family tradition that pertains to Nathaniel Tobin as remembered by Clarence Tobin of Guernsey County and recorded by Ric Tobin (Copied letter in this author's possession), is that: "Nathaniel, (Clarence's great grandfather) settled in the military land from Zanesville, Ohio. (Specifically, he bought land at $1.00 per acre on the Birmingham, Peoli Ridge). He came by an oxen pulled wagon from Maryland (In probability, VIRGINIA, although Elizabeth was from Maryland according to son George W. 1900 census info.) when Clarence's grandfather was six years old. The Hollingsworth family came with the Tobins. They settled near what is now Birmingham, Ohio They lived about two miles apart and they were the only families in the area. The Tobins were Irish." This move to Guernsey Co., Ohio, probably occurred in the mid 1820's, sometime after Mar. 9, 1823 as he is listed in the Virginia County Taxlists at that time. Nathaniel brought his family with him. His father, Isaac, followed within a few years. He received 40 acres of land in the US Military Survey on Nov 7, 1837 as recorded in the Zanesville land office in TWP 4N, Range 3W, and Section 9. (CL-542) The 1840 Federal Census Records, Guernsey Co., OH, #397, p. 385 lists Nathaniel Tobin: Guernsey Co., Monroe Twp., 1 male age 15-20, 1 male age 60- 70, 1 female 10-15, 1 female 50-60. (Note: His wife should have been listed as between age 60-70, also, not 50-60.) Nathaniel's tombstone states that he died May 4, 1845, aged 74 years, but his will found in Will Book B, p. 149, is dated May 4 1846 and probated on June 8, 1846. Because the date on the tombstone is possibly in error, perhaps Nathaniel's age is in error also. A 1771 birth date does not seem correct as his parents did not marry until 1775.

| 4261 | We know John was married to Sarah and her maiden name was Jay as verified in a book published in 1889 by Goodspeed Publishing Co., entitled "History of Benton, Washington, Carroll, Madison, Crawford, Franklin, Sebastian Counties, Arkansas. | SATTERFIELD, John Isaac (I13982)
|
| 4262 | We know that John is the father of our Elizabeth Humphries because he is listed as her father in her brother James' christening record. We knew her birthdate from Somerset Quaker records previously. I have found only a few other siblings for them in the records in Kingsbury or Drayton where Joane died. With the gap in their ages, it's highly likely that they had other siblings not in the published records or that their mother had a series of miscarriages. John is listed as the son of a Humfrie in the Kingsbury Episcopi records if he is the Johannes baptized in 1620 there. Kingsbury Episcopi is where most of the earliest Humfry's in co. Somerset, England can be found. There are several possible father's of this John in Kingsbury at the time. They are George, b. 1597, son of Thomas; Peeter b. 1597, son of William; and James b. 1595 who married Johane Denman in 1614. James was the son of William b. 1595 according to Somerset baptismal records. Both the names James and Peter are repeated in this family with James being the more common choice and Peter repeated only once. I'm working off the theory that our John is the son of James as he names his first born son James. The only other possibilities I've found are 1) a John and Mary that married in 1613 in Drayton, Somerset, England, 2) a John and Agnis Humfry that married in Drayton in 1610 or 3) An Edward and Havis Hue Humfrey who married in Drayton in 1623. The best fit and theory is that John is the son of James b. 1595. | HUMPHREY, Johanas (John) (I6724)
|
| 4263 | We know that John's wife's first name is Barbara from the John Waginer family bible and from George Harmon's will, but there has never been any proof found that she was the daughter of George or a Harmon herself. Her Thru-Line matches are great (from 8 cM - 57 cM as of 5/2022) and indicates she is a full sibling of the other children of George Harmon and Mary Margaret Wiley. If so, she was born before any dates they were supposedly married. This simply indicates to me that they don't have her parents marriage date figured out. </line><line /><line>The Twentieth Centuries published histories of this family state that Barbara's surname was probably Harmon. According to Brad Bahler (bahler1@netzero.net), however, researcher "Terry Harmon of Boone, North Carolina wrote a massive Harmon genealogy. He (was...) twice a Mast descendant. He informed me that no North Carolina researcher in the old days (he was fortunate to have some very old genealogies) ever identified Barbara as a Harmon. In his opinion this stared with researchers in Ohio, who incorrectly remembered her as a Harmon, confusing her with John Mast and Susan Harmon." This Harmon theory pervades many published documents. It has been stated in various sources that she was the daughter of Cutliffe and Susan Pfoutz Harmon. (C-205) This has proved to be an error in confusion as a Susan or Sarah, d. of Cutliffe did marry a John Mast. However, they were a full generation younger. Cutliffe and Susan were almost peers of our Barbara. Others have stated that she was the daughter of George Harmon (one of the 7 brothers that went to the Shenendoah Valley in the 1740's). This was based upon the fact that the administrator for his will was John Mast, called a "family friend" , and husband to Barbara. However, again there is no evidence that this Barbara is the daughter of George. 1) There seem to be no Barbara's in the naming of this families siblings in this or any close time period 2) If her husband, John Mast, was a son-in-law, wouldn't John have been called that, like son-in-law Daniel was in the will? and 3) Barbara is not named as his daughter in the will. (C-1458) Brad Bahler does not believe she is a Harmon at all. Some researchers suspect she is a Lopp/Lapp by surname instead. This Lapp surname was a common one on the Amish Mennonite church of which Jacob and John Mast were members, whereas Harmon is not. Harmon was Mennonite and not Amish. There was a great rift between these two groups and it was extremely unusual for them to mix or marry in Pennsylvania. By the time these groups moved to places like North Carolina, as the Amish died out, they joined with the Mennonites and as the Mennonites became scarce, they joined with the Dunkards. | HARMON, Barbara Catherine (I8576)

| 4264 | We know that Joseph A. Forte is the son of Joseph A. Forte from the 1920 census records and that he was born in Feb. of 1915 from that census. An SSDI record matches this data and gives his birth date of Feb. 10, 1915 and his death date. 23, 1991. He applied for his SS# in New York, but it does not give his residence at the time of his death. | FORTE, Joseph A. Jr. (I1742)
|
| 4265 | We know that Mary married an Erwin from her father's will. According to the "History of Monore Co., WV," they were one of three Curry families who moved to that county who were children of Dr. Robert Curry. (CL-468) I can see two poities for her husband's first name. I personally conjectured that she is the Mary Curry that married Samuel Erwin in 1770 and had two sons. They lived in the Shenandoah Valley where Samuel died. Mary and her sons moved to Ohio afterwards. (CL-323, 468) The second theory is presented by Paul Glick in a family history in Wanesboro Library. In it, he repeats info from the "History of Pocahantas West Virginia" by Price which states that an Edward Ervine IV, b. 1790 was the husband of a Mary Curry (gr.daughter to Dr. Robert Curry), he was the son of a Mary Curry (daughter to Dr. Robert Curry) and his grandmother was the sister to Dr. Robert Curry. Paul Glick further theorizes that Edward Ervine III, has to have married Mary Curry, d. of Dr. Robert Curry for all of these facts to be true. I personally don't see where he gets his final conclusion, but am considering it. In any case, this source is suggesting that Mary and this unknown Erwin were first cousins by the relationships it gives. (CL-490) Then to complicate matters even further, according to one researcher named Freeman, Robert Curry possibly had two daughters named Mary. We know from her grandfather's will, Andrew McCombe, that he definitely had a daughter Mary by Elizabeth McCombe. Freeman believes he has a second daughter named Mary by wife Anne. | CURRY, Mary "Molly" (I7783)
|
| 4266 | We know that Susan had a likely close relative, Nancy Hunter. Susanah was born in North Carolina according to 3 out of 4 census records. Nancy was born in NC according to most of her census records. Nancy married in 1815 to Asa Amos in Stokes Co., N.C. I currently have 3 triangulations with descendants of the father of Robert's parents and ancestors. Nancy and Susanah were obviously close to each other as they both moved to Cabell Co., Virginia, and then to Perry Twp., Gallia Co., Ohio together. They went to the same Baptist church and are both buried in a cemetery surrounding that church. Susan is called Saruh in the 1870 Perry Twp., Gallia Co., Census. In that one, she is listed as being born in Virginia instead. She married in Cabell Co., Virginia in 1823 to William Clark. Cabell became a part of West Virginia in 1869. I had compared the DNA of over 50 Hunter leads without finding a cousin match up till now. The Stokes Co., NC marriage record of her relative, Nancy, is what gave me the breakthrough. I visited her gravesite in Oct. 1993 with my parents, daughter, cousin Grace Ann and my nieces. We could only tell it was her grave because it was next to her husband's. A rubbing verified it was her grave although it was unreadable to the naked eye due to moss. My daughter and nieces placed flowers on her and her husband's grave while the sun lowered in the sky. It was a very special memory as it could have been 75 years since a family member visited. The stone had a civil war medallion on it. I'm sure the church couldn't read the stone and didn't want to slight any soldier. There are 9 cousin matches to Susannah currently from John Martin Hunter's sons. I have the most matches and the largest match with his son Robert. They are half or step matches according to Ancestry. This suggests that Susannah is the daughter of Robert and another woman, possibly one of his many slaves. We haven't found where Robert lived from most of the census records from 1790 onward. Other possible fathers for Susannah include Capt. John Madison Hunter's sons, John, Benjamin or William who at various points in time can be verified as living in Stokes Co., North Carolina where Susanah's relative, Nancy married in 1815. Susanah did marry William D. Clark where my dna so far is saying he was the son of William Clark and Jane Ferguson. Their son James A. Clark had very kinky hair and tan skin from a Civil War tin type suggesting he had some African ancestry. James A. also had a long narrow pointed nose and gray eyes which probably enabled him to be in the census records as white. | HUNTER, Susan (I16189)

| 4267 | We now have absolute proof that we descend through John's father Henry with two other YDNA testers in our Coats Surname Project at FTDNA. These cousins descend from a different son of Henry's that ends up being forced to migrate to Australia. Thank you, Australian cousins for helping to prove this line from 1595 to the present! We actually all meet up with our first common ancestor being the great-grandfather of this John at the very earliest in time via current Big Y evidence. I also triangulate with autosomal DNA cousins who descends through John and Elizabeth Coate's daughter, Ann Coate, on chromosome 7 in overlapping segments as our 1st common Coate ancestor, tentatively suggesting our descent from John and Elizabeth. Back in this distance of time, the cM's segment match length is small enough that it can't currently prove the descent. I expect that the fact that we triangulate improves the statistical proof, but we will have to wait till the mathematics in this field also improves to know for sure. I would guess that John's mother's name could be Elizabeth from his 2 daughter's names. Ann would have been named after his mother-in-law, JoAnn. Here are the facts that we do know about John Coate. He was the father of our Samuel Coate of Somerset Co., England; Newtown, PA and Hunterdon Co., NJ proven by the fact that Samuel was given 200 acres of his father, John Coate's land in Newtown, Pennsylvania via letter dated August, 1699 from Somerset, England one month before John Coate died in England. John was married to Elizabeth Humphreys in England and had the following children: John, Henry, James, Samuel, and Elizabeth. His children's births are registerd as being from the Kingsbury Episcopi M.M., Middle Divison of the Somerset Quarterly Meeting in England. Quaker records were only kept in their monthly meeting from 1665-1673. They list both John and Elizabeth as parents. They are listed right before his nephew Marmaduke married to Ann Pole's children are listed in this Middle Division of the Somerset Monthly Meeting records all in the same hand. They likely were transcribed from their Monthly Meeting records kept until 1673. It is known that they had four small children and one on the way in 1672 when it was recorded that his house had been burnt down and his wife was expecting. This matches well with the birth dates of his children. However, he could have had more children from 1673 onward that were not in the records. One source lists him with a daughter named Ann. This fits well with info on descendants of an Ann Coate (1673-1762) married to a Roger Fort (1669-1749) in the United States. (E) He lived in Lambrook, England, which adjoins the town of Curry Rivel on the east. He is often listed in the Illchester Monthly Meeting Minutes or Southern Division Monthly Meeting Minutes as it was known beginning in 1670.

| 4268 | We now know with certainty that Mary was a Bowater and not a Davis by maiden name. The often printed theory and incongruous lineage that she was Mary Davis in as reputable a source as Farmer, has now effectively been disproven by Stewartn in "The American Genealogist", July/Oct. 1997 issue. She was a Bowater based on multiple pieces of evidence. Mary Wright's birth date is listed in Feb. 12, 1689 in Hopewell Quaker records. This is off by a 10 days from being Mary Bowater's actual birth date in English records if the 1689 date is interpreted as 1688/1689. As an orphaned young woman, Mary Bowater was received on certificate from England to live near her brother, Thomas in the Philadelphia Monthly Meeting records dated 28 4th month 1706. This is the only time she is mentioned in this country under her maiden name. She (as Mary Wright) and her husband, James Wright, sign their names to the Quaker marriage "certificate" in the close relatives right hand column of her sister, Elizabeth Bowater's marriage to William Pusey on the 5th day of the 9th month, 1707. James Wright would not even have been a relative of this couple unless his wife was a Bowater related to Elizabeth when this marriage took place. Later marriage records of Mary and James Wright's children include many Bowater relatives as witnesses and do not include any Davis relatives. Mary and James Wright were also listed in the relatives column for her brother, Thomas Bowater's daughter's marriage. Lastly, they have a grandson named Bowater. Stewart Baldwin's case that Mary is a Bowater is actually one of the finest pieces of genealogical analysis I've seen. Mary was a Bowater and NOT a DAVIS. (C-999) Her will is as follows: "I, Mary Wright, of Frederick County in the Colony of Virginia, being aged and sickly but of a sound and well disposing mind and memory do make this my last will and testament hereby revoking and disanulling all other wills that have heretofore been made or done by me. First, my will is that my body be decently buried and that all my just debts and funeral charges that I leave to be defrayed at the discretion of my executors hereafter named. Secondly, I give and bequeath and demise to the proper use and behalf of him the said Thomas Wright his heirs and assigns forever. Thirdly, I give and bequeath all and singular of my wearing apparel unto my seven daughters, vis., Mary, Hannah, Martha, Elizabeth, Ann, Sarah, Lidia to be equally divided among them. Fourthly, I give and bequeath to my daughter Sarah Pickering, one brass mortar. Fifthly, I give and bequeath unto my son Thomas Wright all and singular of my stock and household goods. I also will that what money remains after my decease, from the land sold on Middlefork is to be equally divided among my ten children, vis. James, Isaac, Mary Hannah, Martha, Elizabeth, Ann, Sarah, Lydia and John. Lastly, I ordain and constitute my well beloved daughter, Mary Ballinger, Jesse Pugh and William Pickering sole executors of this my last will and testament as witness my hand and seal this 5th day of the 8th month, 1760.

| 4271 | Wesley worked on his father's farm until age 21. He started life by opening a Hotel in West Milton in 1846, which building still stands across the street from the McDonalds Restaurant in West Milton, Ohio. His home was where the McDonals built about 1994. They have a beautiful oil painting of his home in that fast food restaurant. After a ten year period, he changed to dealing in stock and a livery stable. He is in the deed records for Union Twp., Miami Co., Ohio in 1850, 1851, 1860. He appears to have two wives in the county records. He and Nancy sold lot 38 in Milton, Miami Co., Ohio in 1851. In 1860, he and Sarah sold land in Union Twp., Miami Co., Ohio. This does not coincide with the marriage date I have for him and Sarah of 1847, so it's a mystery yet to be determined. In 1855 he was in a criminal Probate Court case in that same county. In 1859, he became a dealer in lightning rods called "The Mast Lightening Rod Company." (C-670) An account of this families life and their lightening rod business comes from a large article in the Troy Daily News entitled "First Lightning Rods made at Early West Milton Shop". I'll quote the most significant parts. "When in 1801 the group of Quakers and their friends decided to quit North Carolina and seek new homes in the Northwest Territory, among them was David Mast. He brought along with him, his wife Nancy and their six children, the youngest, Absalom, being about 5 years old. In 1817 Absalom married Mary John and they became the parents of four sons and five daughters. Two of the sons, Wesley J. and Johnson P. became early businessmen of the village.... Wesley J. Mast , together with his brother Johnson P. became interested in Rayburn and the lightning rod business and came to the aid of this man with financial backing and started what is believed to be the first plant in the world for the manufacturing of lightning rods. ... The concern grew and prospered, and in the hey-dey of its career, boasted of having more than thirty lightning rod wagons traversing Ohio and adjoining states. Thousands of residents of the middle west can remember these long, narrow wagons, loaded with bright and shining copper rods, glistening weather vanes and prancing steel horses in miniature, the latter serving as ornaments of rods erected above the roofs of those considered "well-to'do". For years the name of "Mast" led the field, despite the fact that competition sprang up throughout the east. ... Always the West Milton plant ... kept steadily ahead of all others in the way of new inventions and patents. ... To get raw materials from the Pennsylvania mills where it was rolled, the Masts had to bring it in ... down the Ohio River and up to Dayton by canal boat. Louis LaVake Mast, in the year 1900, succeeded his father, taking over the plant bearing his name with which he was quite familiar, since he was born and brought up with the business. ... " (C-374) (Note, the Mast family seemed to own the plant through the undated time of this article at least 1943 or later, and had spread their business to include the making of sign posts and other patents.) C.Z. Mast's 1911 history summarizes his life this way: In the year 1808 he gave up the wonderfully busy life when in the same year his neighbors carried his body out of his old home and buried it in a quiet spot on the broad acres he had tended and loved. His grave is marked with a carved sandstone bearing inscription near the Northwest corner of the wall of what is known as Pine Grove Cemetery. His wife, Magdalene Holly, died Oct 26, 1820, aged 80 years, and is buried by his side. However, according to a 1978 newspaper article by Judy Ireton in "The Independent", Wesley J. Mast and his wife are buried in Riverside Cemetery in West Milton instead. | MAST, Wesley J. (I15801)

| 4277 | What is consistently attributed to him is that he was admitted as a freeman in 1670 and listed as a proprietor in 1685. (F-15,29) He moved to Wallingford sometime after 1668. The Genealogical and Family History of the State of Connectiys that he also has a son named Abner, born 1667. This source also said he was married to Mary Brooks and this is a confusion with other Brooks marriages in the Bunnell line. (F-23) | BUNNELL, Benjamin (I11735)
|
| 4278 | What we know about William Bunnell is that he shows up in Watertown, MA by 1630 as a juror in a murder trial. This means that he would have been of age by 1630, and was probably born in 1610 or earlier. According to North American Families, he was a General in Cromwell's army. His early arrival in our country, has made his descendants eligible for entry into the "Order of Founders and Patriots." (F-32) He apparently moved to New Haven, CT by 1638. He is in the General Court Meeting Records of New Haven, CT. On April 3, 1650 (when he would have been about 40+), "the Court freed old Goodman Bunill from paying his poll money to ye towne, because of his poverty, age and weakness." In Jan. 1650/51, his landlord told him he'd give him a years rent if he would peaceably leave the premises. He asked the court for assistance in getting William Bunill to move out. The court gave William 3 weeks to find a new residence. He finally left, apparently to England, about 4 weeks after this court decision. While he was in England, his wife and father-in-law apprenticed his son to Nico Elsy and his daughter to Sam Whitehead. William had returned to America by Oct. 7, 1651 as he was in court on said day to get his children back because he needed their help. This violated the terms of the apprenticeship. William's wife had only done what was proper, considering she had no money to care for them. The court did decide to pay William a sum of 2 shillings a week to help compensate for the loss of his children. On March 11, 1651/52, the court asked William if they could "put forth his boy" (second oldest son) so that the "Towne may be at as little charge as may be." His apprenticeship was to be paid for by a townsman with a cow. The boy was to be in service to him for several years to pay off the cost of the cow and to learn discipline as he was "spoyled for want of govermt." William refused to have his son apprenticed out. The court therefore withdrew his 2 shilling stipend for his family. A year and a half later, Feb. 27, 1653/4, Goodwife Bunnil was in the court records as being very ill. The town decided it had done as much as it could for her, and that it was time to have her two youngest children "put out" so as to receive an education and lesson the burden of the town. By May 1, 1654, Goodwife Bunill and one of her children had died. In this court session, William asked the court to return him to England. "The court ordered that the Townsmen and Treasurer should help him gain passage on a ship bound from Milford to Newfoundland. He said he had friends in England to care for him. This is the last record of him in the New Haven Town Records, Vol. I, (1649-1662) by Franklin Bowditch Dexter, New Haven Historical Society, 1917. (F-136) William's birth date and death date are not by any means known. The dates above are only second hand sources that might not apply to this William Bunnell of New Haven, Connecticut. A commonly but erroneously printed parentage for William Bunnell of New Haven, is Thomas Bonnel (or Boonell) who fled from Ypres, France (Flanders) about 1577-79. He settled in Norwich, England. He married twice, the first wife being unknown. He had 4 sons by the first wife, one still recorded by name as Benjamin (b. before 1595). His second wife was Jaque Marie Bygote. This marriage brought forth 2 sons and 4 daughters. Four of their names are known: Elizabeth (chr. Aug. 10, 1595), Abraham (chr. April 15, 1599), Isaac (chr. 1601), and Judge (chr. Mar.1605/06). Benjamin, son of Thomas, might have been born in Flanders and died after 1607 in London. He and an unknown wife, had a son named William, born about 1610. (F-136) This theory has pretty much been dispelled as it came from an early 20th century researcher, Carolyn Syron Valentine, who only found one Bunnel in England at the time, and so she connected it, stating clearly that it was a guess. People have since taken it as truth, when in current records, at least a dozen parents fit the names and time lines for this William Bunnel. (F-410) | BUNNELL, General William (I12617)

| 4280 | When Edward Bagley's daughter, Ann died in 1699, her husband, William Brinton, wrote about her life. In it he stated that Edward, her father, had died about fifty years earlier and that her family was "not of mean rank as to worldly ac" He called his father-in-law a "very honest and loving man." Edward received 30 lbs. from Elizabeth Tomlinson's nuncupative will dated July 3, 1629. Elizabeth was the mistress to Lord Dudley and all of her children were the children of this Lord. Edward was listed as "nepoti ex matre" to Elizabeth when he was assigned by the courts to be the administrator of her estate. The normal latin meaning of this term would be grandson, but according to a published authority, in this case it legally meant nephew. Which interpretation is correct is of great controversy as it determines whether Edward is a direct descendant of Lord Dudley or a descendant of Elizabeth's sister instead. He died before his father in 1645 and is buried at St. Thomas Parish in Dudley, England. Before his death, in April 1645 Edward is shown as elected one of the Overseers for the Poor in the St. Thomas Parish records. (C-1364, UA Record #:4237) | BAGLEY, Edward (I12563)

Other close relatives in the right hand column were Isaac and Mary Parkins, Esther Harrison, Elizabeth Rerpo?, and Josiah Calvert. No Mccoys were amongst the guest list. George Hollingsworth was appointed Overseer of the road from Littlers to Hollingsworth's Mill in the Orange Co., VA Road Orders, Aug. 26, 1742. A George was listed in the Rent Rolls for Frederick Co., VA in 1759 and 1764 that is likely to be him. George was granted 350 acres of land in Craven Co., NC on a branch of Little River called Mudlick Creek on Feb. 3, 1767. He and his wife, "Jean", sold 155 acres of it to John Williams on July 1772. Witnesses were Joseph Hollingsworth, Quaker, George and James Hollingsworth (his sons). It also states that George gave some of his original land grant to son Joseph.

| 4294 | Wikipedia "This John is sometimes referred to as "Old Scotland" John; however, he was probably not from Scotland, was not a "Sir" and not a lord from Arrochar, fleeing to the colonies after his estate was confiscated after the battle of Colloden, which is commonly reported, without any documentation. That story was published in a family manuscript in 1955 and has been repeated so many times that it has taken on a life of its own. That story is completely contrary to real events, repeating the belief that the last laird of Arrochar fled to the colonies. However, the laird of Arrochar, the chief Walter MacFarlane was alive and well in Edinburgh and he did not lead any MacFarlanes into the battle at Colloden. There are conflicting reports of 300 MacFarlanes either participating, or not participating, in this battle siding with Bonnie Prince Charlie. Most sources believe they stayed out of the conflict, certainly the chief did. Chief Walter, was followed by William, who sold the Arrochar lands in 1767 to pay debts; they were not confiscated. William was followed by John, the 22nd Chief, and so on till the last Chief, the 25th, William, who died in 1866. There has been no Chief since then. Source: History of Clan MacFarlane, by James MacFarlane, published in Glasgow in 1922 under the auspices of the Clan MacFarlane Society. Our John McFarland was only about 13 when his father Robert and family came to Pennsylvania in abt. 1719, so it is highly unlikely that he stayed behind. It is possible that he could have been born in Scotland if his parents had been traveling there at the time. However, there is no John McFarland son of Robert and Janet, that appears in Scottish parish records for this time period. This would also indicate that our John McFarland was not in Scotland participating in the Jacobite wars, unless he was tranversing the ocean a couple of times, which seems unlikely. In 1729, John signs a petition with his father Robert asking for the creation of a new county, Lancaster, out of the present Chester Co. PA. I am not sure what age was considered an adult, but this is our first indication that he has reached adulthood. In 1732 John Mcffarlen was sworn into a grand jury in Lancaster Co. P. 16, Lancaster Co. Quarter Abstracts from 1729-1742 In May 29, 1740 John McFarlin warranted 188 acres, but decided not to patent it.

(Early Landowners of Pennsylvania: Atlas of Township Warrantee Maps of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, by Sharon McInnes, Closson Press, July 2008) In the will of John Ramsay, husband of John's sister Rachel, John McFarland is named to be an executor of his estate on Jan. 21, 1747. The will is proved on Feb. 21, 1747. Was John present in Lancaster Co. then? He is filing for a survey of property in Virginia in March, 1747. John is referred to as the eldest son in the property transfer to James in Deed Book C, p. 95 dated June 17, 1751. A booklet by John A. McFarland, "The Myth of Sir John MacFarlane" written in 1997 by James A. McFarland of Tulsa, Oklahoma documents the mix-up that has occurred in the history of this John McFarland. 1740s and 50s: Our John McFarland took advantage of the opportunity to acquire cheap and abundant land from the Woods River Company which had secured land on the waters of the New, Holston, and Clinch rivers, if settled on before 1748. John and his family moved quickly, carving out new surveys of land in the recently opened territory in the western part of Virginia (then Augusta County, later subdivided, and today it is Wythe County). This land was 1020 acres on Black Buffalo Lick, and was surveyed for John and his son Robert on March 5, 1747. Then John recorded another survey for 106 acres on a branch of Reed Creek, and in 1749, 347 acres on Sally Run, another branch. Then in 1753, another 367 acres on Meadow Run, another branch of Reed Creek, and lastly 98 acres on a branch of Reed Creek between the land he lives on and the Cove. John moved here with his wife and children, as well as some of his neighbors from Lancaster County. When his father died back in Pennsylvania in the early part of 1751, John returned to Lancaster Co. PA to help settle the estate and provide for his mother Jennet. He signed these documents in March, 1751. Documents in Lancaster Co. refer to the death of James (John's son) in Augusta County Virginia in 1755, and John's eldest son Robert travels back to Lancaster to clear up his brother's estate. John A. McFarland's booklet "The Myth of Sir John Macfarlane" does an excellent job of clarifying these records. In Mary B. Kegley's 2004 book "Early Adventurers On the Western Waters" are maps of the settlements on pp. 473 and 474. Virginia: Tithables for Virginia included every white male 16 and over.

This home was referred to during the French and Indian War as being about 19 miles from Burke's Garden, which is in present Tazewell Co. VA. During the Indian attacks that were part of the French and Indian War, the John McFarland settlement was referred to: Source: A History of The Middle New River Settlements and Contiguous Territory. By David E. Johnston (1906).Chapter II. 1753 - 1766 Captain William Preston records in his journal the movement of his militia: "Monday 16, 40 Indians and 60 white men under command of Capt. Smith and Woodston marched from fort in order to range the woods about Reed Creek; they are to march to Burke's Garden. Tuesday 17, Mr. Paul returned from the horse guard (This guard had been left to protect the crossing of New River.) Wednesday 18, Capt. Hog's company and Major Lewis march in afternoon. Thursday 19, Left Fort Frederick at 10 o'clock: 27 loaded pack horses, got to William Sawyer's: Camped on his barn floor Friday 20, Switched one of the soldiers for swearing, which very much incensed the Indian chiefs then present. Advanced to Alex Sawyers, met the Indians who went out with the first division, and Lieutenant Ingles who informed us of the burial of Robt. Looney. Some of our Indians deserted. Sat. 21, Major Lewis, Capt. Pearis and the interpreter went to Col. Buchanan's place, where they met the Indians who had deserted us, and induced them to return, which they did. Sunday 22, Marched to John McFarland's. "Monday 23, Marched over the mountain to Bear Garden, on North Fork of Holston's river. Lost sundry horses. Miles "From F. P. George to Cyphers' 15 2nd day to R. Hall's 15 3rd day to F. A. Frederick 15 19th Feb. to Wm. Sawyers 20 20th Feb. to McCaul's 13 Sunday 22, to McFarland's 7 Monday 23 to Bear Garden 10 Tuesday 24 to Burke's Garden 9 Thursday 26, to head of Clinch 10 Saturday 28, to head of Sandy Creek 10 Preston's Journal shows that several settlements had been made along Peak, Reed and other Creeks West of New River prior to 1756. Among the parties he names are William Sawyers, Alexander Sawyers, and John McFarland, and Dr. Walker mentions Samuel Stalnaker as on the Holston on the 24th of March, 1750, when he and Mr. Powell helped him to raise a house." Because of new counties being created as population increased, land and other records can be found in various counties. In 1770 Botetourt County was formed from Augusta Co. The county seat was Fincastle, which existed as a county from 1772 to 1777 when it was dissolved and divided into Montgomery Co. and Washington Co. The Reed Creek area was then part of Montgomery Co. This area becomes Wyeth County in 1790, but our McFarlands were in Tennessee by this time. Toward the end of the French and Indian War, John McFarland Sr. and his family moved north east, over the Blue Ridge Mountains, to Bedford Co. Virginia, an area more protected from Indian attacks. John's son James was killed by the Indians in 1755, as shown in court records in Lancaster Co. PA. In fact, most of the Reed Creek community evacuated the area until peace treaties were signed with the Indian tribes in 1770. John Sr. stayed living in Bedford County with his son Benjamin until 1785.

Va Deeds and Records Although the McFarland family left the Reed Creek area after the Indian attacks in 1755, they did not purchase any land in Bedford until 1763. They must have been living on the land they later purchased. 1756: John and Robert McFarland are present in Bedford County, serving on a jury.

The 100 acres are described as being on the north sidef the Otter River. This land is sold by John and Benjamin McFarland in Oct. 1785 in Deed Book 7, p. 581. This indicates that John Sr. was still alive in 1785 when the land was sold and the McFarlands vacate Bedford Co. completely. (FHL #1940776) 1764: Deed Book 2, p. 433-434, Aug. 28. John McFarland (this would be John McFarland Jr.) purchased 212.5 acres from Joshua Early, both of the Parish of Russell, for 50 pounds current money. It is described as being at the head of Medoes's Cree . When this plat is sold May 25, 1778 in Deed Book 6, p. 48, John McFarland Jr. of County of Montgomery is selling it to Lyonell Brown for 100 pounds current money and the land is described as being at the head of Medow's Creek. In researching this plot of land further back in time, it was originally a patent belonging to Richard Randolph in Aug. 30, 1744, part of 3233 acres on the north side of the Otter River, at head of branches of Buffalo Creek and Elk Creek. The name Medoes's Creek, or any variation, has not been discovered so far. The estate of Richard Randolph of Henrico Co. sold this 212.5 plot to Joshua Early on July 24, 1764 for 50 pounds before Joshua sold it to John McFarland shortly after for the same amount. (FHL #1940776) 1766: Deed Book 3, p. 12. Aug. 9, Robert McFarland purchases 254 acres from Giles Williams Jr. for 50 pounds current money. The land was originally patented to Giles Williams Jr. Sept. 25, 1762. The land is described as being on the south sidef the Otter River on both sides of a branch (not named), adjacent to William Callaway, Sherwood Walton. Witness: George Grundy, Charles C. McGlaughlin, John McFarland. (FHL#194077) 1770: Deed Book 3, pp. 498, 499. Oct. 23, John McFarland purchases 318 acres on both sides of Mountain Creek for 17 pounds current money. This land was sold to John by Richard Stith, acting as attorney for the executors of Richard Randolph of Hnrico, deceased. This was conveyed to Stith in 1761. (FHL#194077) 1771: Robert McFarland divides his 1766 purchase, and sells it in 1771 to John Rogers (238 acres Great Otter River. Deed Book 4, p. 131) and Henry Lowry (15.5 acres, south side Otter River, adj. Walton Grundy, Deed Book 4, p.144). He then movs to Montgomery County. 1772: Joseph McFarland sells the 318 acres on Mounts Creek to John Gallaway. This is the land previously acquired by John McFarland in 1770. Joseph then moves to Montgomery Co. (Deed Book 4, p. 394). 1773: Deed Book 4, p. 468. Benjamin McFarland purchased 375 acres on the Otter River adjacent Simon Miller from John Christopher Lainheart and wife. This land is sold in 1785 as part of a package with his father's 100 acres to Cornelius Noelln Deed Book 7, p. 581. It is then described as being adjacent Cornelius Noell, William Miller, John Miller, and John Christ. Lainhart. (FHL# 194078) 1774: John McFarland signed a petition presented to the Virginia House of Burgesses along with the other members of the congregation of the Presbyterian church known as the Peaks of Otter, in Bedford Co. for approval to purchase land and slavs to support a minister, rather than the usual method of supporting a minister. (This file was found at the Library of Virginia, Virginia History and Culture, Early Virginia Religious Petitions, 1774-1802. This image of this petition is available through their Digital Library Program.The whole petition was Transcribed by Teresa Lee-Coker on April 28, 2002 and available on the internet.) 1777: Bedford County: On Sept. 6, John McFarland and Benjamin McFarland signed an "Oath of Affirmation directed by an Act of General Assembly" to Wm. Callaway.(Copies can be purchased from the Bedford Co. Historical Society). 1777: Deed Book, p. 516. Oct. 7, 1777, John McFarland sells to Benjamin McFarland his 100 acres on the branch of the Otter River for 100 pounds current money, as well as "a Negro wench named Aggy and her four children, Harry and Achilles-boys and Jude and Abbigail-girls" plus all the stock of horses, black cattle, sheep and hogs. It is stipulated that John and Mary McFarland are to live on this land and work the slaves as long as they live, and if Mary outlives John, she can stay, but if she chooses to live elsewhere Benjamin will pay 10 pounds a year for her upkeep. Also, in December of the year of John McFarland's decease, Benjamin will pay to John McFarland Junior, or his heirs, 70 pounds current money.

Their neighbors are Cornelius Noel, William Miller, John Miller, John Christopher Lainhart. So, John Sr. is still alive, however his wife Mary Montgomery must be deceased. (FHL #1940780) Personal Property Tax List for Bedford Co. 1782-1805: FHL #2024472 The assessors noted holders of tavern licenses, covering horses (stud). Often older men were exempt from being counted in the tithe, as were women. John McFarland was living with his son Benjamin and was mentioned as father in the 1782 tax, ad listed as a tithe. He is also included in the 1783 tithe, but by 1784 he is either dead, or must have reached an age that he is no longer taxed. Most researchers have assumed he was dead, but that doesn't explain how he signed the deed transfer in 1785. 1782 Personal Property Tax List Benjamin Mcfarland and father: Free males above 21: 2 Slaves: 7 Horses: 6 Cattle: 20 White tithes above 16: 2 Black tithe above 16: 1 1783 Personal Property Tax List Benjamin Mcfarland: No. of Tithes: 3 Tax on Covering Horses: ?

Montgomery Co. VA Records In 1767, John and Mary of Bedford Co. sold 98 acres on a branch of Reed Creek, part of his patent dated 1753 to James Hollis. In 1768, John and Mary McFarland of Bedford Co. VA, with Robert and Martha McFarland of Orange Co. NC, sold to David Doak their 1020 acre plot along the New River at Black Buffalo Lick. The 327 acre tract was sold to John Finley in 1773, and lastly, in 1778, the last tract of land, the 367 acres was sold to John McFarland Jr., who seems to have been living there at least since 1772. (Deed Book A, Montgomery Co. p. 234) Greene Co. TN If John McFarland was alive in 1785, and it seems he was, he would have moved with his son Benjamin to Greene Co. TN. Another bit of proof for John Sr. being alive could be the sale of land in 1786 in Montgomery Co. when John McFarland Junior sells his 367 acres to Jacob Brooner (Montgomery Deed Book A, p. 386-387) and he is referred to as Junior. Another reference that I have found that could be referring to John McFarland Sr. is testimony about the Indian Wars that took place in 1793. Ramsey's Annals of Tennessee to the End of the Eighteenth Century (1853) [Ramsey's Annals Home] - Chapter VII: Territory of the United States South of the Ohio River - Page 582 "But to provide for the worst, it was settled beforehand, that each man, on discharging his piece, without stopping to watch the flight of the Indians, should make the best of his way to Knoxville, lodge himself in the block-house, where threeundred muskets had been deposited by the United States, and where the two oldest citizens of the forty, John McFarland and Robert Williams were left behind to run bullets and load." Robert McFarland Jr. (b. 1759) was a Colonel of the militia that fought against this Indian raid, so this could well have been his grandfather, but it also could be referring to uncle John. John Sr. would be abt. 87, John Jr. would be 56. The descendants of this couple (John and Mary Montgomery) are many and are scattered across the United States. Now, through DNA testing, many of our families have been identified, and we have DNA cousins that trace this line back to the Gartartn branch of the MacFarlane line. From Ireland, these families emigrated to Canada, New Zealand, and America.

Robert and Odo came from the Robertian dynasty out of which the Capetian dynasty grew.[3] In 885 Robert participated in the defence of Paris during the Viking siege of Paris.[4] He was appointed by Odo as the ruler of several counties, including the county of Paris, and abbot in commendam of many abbeys. Robert also secured the office of Dux Francorum, a military dignity of high importance. He did not claim the crown of West Francia when his brother died in 898; instead recognizing the supremacy of the Carolingian king, Charles the Simple. Charles then confirmed Robert in his offices and possessions, after which he continued to defend northern Francia from the attacks of Vikings. Robert defeated a large band of Vikings in the Loire Valley in 921, after which the defeated invaders converted to Christianity and settled near Nantes.[5]" | ROBERTIAN, Robert King of West Francia I (I1257)

Having been sent to Exeter grammar school, he matriculated at Broadgates Hall, Oxford, in the autumn of 1581.[1] Martyn was called to the bar at the Middle Temple in 1589, and from 1605 to 1617 held the office of recorder of Exeter. On 7 April 1617 he died at Exeter, and was buried in St. Petrock's Church on 12 April, with an inscription placed to his memory.[1] Works Martyn was the author of The Historie and Lives of the Kings of England from William the Conqveror vnto the end of the Raigne of Henrie the Eight, 1615, containing preliminary verses from his three sons and his son-in-law, and an appendix of "succession of dukes and earles" and other particulars. A second edition appeared in 1628, which was illustrated with portraits of the kings by Renold Elstrack. To the third edition in 1638 was added The Historie of King Ed. VI, Queene Mary, and Q. Elizabeth, by B. R., Mr of Arts, longer than all the rest of the lives put together. Thomas Fuller believed that James I took exception to some passages of this book.[1] Martyn also wrote Youth's Instruction, 1612 (2nd edit. 1613), for his son Nicholas, then a student at Oxford. Each impression contained verses by his son-in-law, and to the second was prefixed a set by his son William.[1] Family Martyn married at St. Petrock's, on 28 November 1585, Susan, daughter of Thomas Prestwood of Exeter, by whom he had three sons, Nicholas, William, and Edward, and one daughter, Susan, who married Peter Bevis of Exeter. She was buried at All Hallows, Goldsmith Street, Exeter, on 30 January 1605-6. Martyn married for his second wife Jane, daughter of Henry Huishe of Sands in Sidbury, Devon. The eldest son Nicholas Martyn succeeded to his father's estate of Oxton in Kenton.[1] Notes Lee, Sidney, ed. (1893). "Martyn, William" . Dictionary of National Biography. Vol. 36.

She was the fourth wife of Charles Brandon, 1st Duke of Suffolk, who acted as her legal guardian during his third marriage to Henry VIII's sister Mary. Her second husband was Richard Bertie, a member of her household. Following Charles Brandon's death in 1545, it was rumoured that King Henry had considered marrying Katherine as his seventh wife, while he was still married to his sixth wife, Catherine Parr, who was Katherine's close friend. An outspoken supporter of the English Reformation, she fled abroad to Wesel and later the Grand Duchy of Lithuania during the reign of Queen Mary I, to avoid persecution."
