She was a sister to my ggg grandfather that was not in the home in the 1850 listing for the census that you mentioned on her memorial. Frank was already in his own home at that time and I am trying to connect this family together. When doing a general search for the Uptigrove name and all it's variable spellings it is hard to find all the children of Elijah and Lydia Collins /Collings Uptigrove /Uptegrove and so forth. Do you think this might help to show the connections? I have seen this name in about 10 or more different variations using every vowel known. When you have time I would love to know what you think about trying to simplify this family if it can be done. Thanks! Added by Karen Riley Hall on Jan 11, 2017 12:43 AM ** Elija T. Butler William A.

John and William Rankin, believed by some to be Samuel's brothers, both preceded him to that part of Orange County near Rowan County which later became Guilford County. Between 1760 and 1765, Samuel was very active in Rowan County serving on various juries and grand juries. On 31 Aug 1765, he and 'wife Elenor' sold this same 320 acres on James Cathey's Mill Creek to John McNeeley." [A. Gregg Moore & Forney A. Rankin, The Rankins of North Carolina, (Marietta, GA: 1997), 20.] Samuel and Ellen Rankin moved from Rowan County to Mecklenburg County around 1765. On 19 Jan 1768, they purchased 150 acres of land on Kuykendall's Creek in what is now Gaston County from David Alexander, planter of Mecklenburg County. Then, on 22 Dec 1768, Samuel Rankin received a grant of 200 acres of land from Governor Tryon. His land transactions were numerous. [A. Gregg Moore & Forney A. Rankin, The Rankins of North Carolina, (Marietta, GA: 1997), 20.] From the Tryon County, North Carolina Court Minutes: At the October 1771 term a deed of sale from David Alexander to Samuel Rankin dated 19 Jan 1768 for 150 acres of land was acknowledged in open Court and ordered to be registered.

H. McGee Blair McGee George Graham (signed) Samuel /his X mark/ Rankin A bronze marker placed by D.A.R. on the stone wall surrounding Goshen Grove Cemetery where he is buried commends Samuel Rankin as patriot in Revolutionary war - due to age, probably gave supplies and services. From Revolutionary Army Accounts for North Carolina A:179, Historical Commission, Raleigh North Carolina: "For sundries furnished the militia of North Carolina, Virginia and South Carolina as allowed by Brown, McKissick, auditors, Salisbury District September 1781 to Samuel Rankin for wagon hire." Also, A:225: "For sundries furnished the Militia of North Carolina as allowed by Ervin and Miler, auditors for Morgan District."Also from Revolutionary War Accounts of North Carolina, Volume 5, page 36, folio 1. An article by Minnie Stowe Puett, Gaston Co. historian, in her book "History of Gaston County": Samuel Rankin, the Gaston County pioneer of the family of that name, was of Scotch-Irish stock. He, with the Moores, Alexanders, and others of his countrymen, came to the Mt. Holly section from Pennsylvania about 1763 and settled on Kuykendall or Dutchman's Creek on lands opened by the government a short time before, some of which had been taken by James Armstrong. The lands of Samuel Rankin's first settlement were purchased from Armstrong. Two years later he moved to a large grant of 2000 acres, lying between Stanley and Dutchman's Creeks. While living in Pennsylvania, he married Ellen Alexander, a sister of Robert Alexander and an aunt of Margaret Alexander, Robert's daughter, who was betrothed to Major William Chronicle at the time of his death at King's Mountain. Robert Alexander also moved to the Mt. Holly section and became prominent in the county. Samuel Rankin and his wife had eleven children. One of these, William, was a soldier of the Revolution. A sketch of him will be given later. Much of the land of the original grant to Samuel Rankin is still in possession of his descendants. The late Rufus Rankin, reared in the New Hope section of the county, built a new house on the site of the original settlement, about two miles from Stanley on the north side of Stanley Creek. Rufus died a short time after his home was completed. His widow, Minnie Armstrong Rankin, continued to occupy it for a while, but she later moved to Gastonia. The settlement has for years been known as Rankintown. Article from "The Gastonia Gazette" - Gastonia, NC, May 1955 by Mrs. Kay Dixon(picture included) Samuel Rankin and wife, Ellen Alexander, were pioneers who settled in this area in 1765, and obtained a grant to a large tract of land, the majority of which is still in the possession of the Rankin family. Samuel built a house in 1765 on a hill overlooking the 300 acres that he was later to deed to his son William (born 1760 - died 1853, age 93 years). When a boy of 17 William joined the military company of his uncle, Captain Robert Alexander; he saw service in the Cherokee uprising, in the battles of Cowpens and Eutaw Springs. When he was 27 years old he married Mary Moore Campbell, sister of General John Moore. They settled on land Samuel Rankin gave them and built a small log house with a tremendous eight foot fireplace. Here they lived until the finer, larger house in front of it was completed in 1800. The first cabin then was used for a kitchen; unfortunately this interesting old building has been torn down, and many tools, looms, farm implements of by-gone days have been lost. The charming old house, of logs covered with siding, has small rooms, quaint old mantles, and an inclosed (sic) stairway. The house is a veritable store house of valuable and interesting articles, among which are straight chair that William Rankin used, cupboards with some of the original china in them; spool beds, old trunks, and tables, the old Bisanar clock with weights that rest in a sand box, a fine old secretary with secret drawers. The furniture was said to have been made by Isaac Holland. William's sister Ellen married Joseph Dickson, son of General Joseph Dickson and went with that family to Tennessee. William and Mary Moore had nine children, who married into the Rutledge, Moore, Johnson, and Campbell families, neighbors in that section. William's son Richard (born 1804, died 1899) married Annie Hartgrove, Carolyn Beatty, and Delia Bisaner. There were 14 children, the progenitors of the many Rankins of Gaston county.Richard represented Lincoln county in the legislature of 1844-1850, and Gaston county in 1856, was influential in the organization of Gaston county in 1847. The youngest son of Richard Rankin and Delia Bisaner, Rev. Frank Rankin, inherited the old home. He married Aneta Battley and their children were born in the house. Mrs. W. H. Jarman (Mary Delia), Mrs. Craig Watson, (Katharine), Mrs. Landon Roberts, (Jean), and the two sons Richard and Frank. The sons live in Mt. Holly and "Willowside" is cared for and cherished by the widow of Rev. Frank Rankin. Rev. Frank Rankin and his sister, Mrs. Kathleen Rankin Moore have died in the past few years. They were among the very few grandchildren of a Revolutionary soldier left in the county. William Rankin died in 1854, age 93, Richard died in 1899, age 95; William is buried at Goshen, Richard at Mt. Holly.

Cook Indicates that Major JOHN LEWIS was the son of Col. John Lewis born about 16 16-18 in Monmouthshire, Wales & grandson of the immigrant John Lewis & wife Lidia. Major JOHN LEWIS was born about 1639-40 probably in Monmouthshire or Brecknockshire, Wales and migrated to America approximately 1655 a few years after his father. He lived with the Mostyn family in Denbighshire for a time before emigrating. CONFLICT: He married ISABELLA MILLER Some sources say this wife was ISABELLA WARNER but there several wives. They had 15 children. She married 2nd Robert Yard. Children of Major JOHN & ISABELLA were: Mary born about 1665 Edward born September 5, 1667 Elizabeth born about 1668 John born November 30, 16 69 William born about 1670 Nicholas born about 1671 David born about 1672 Zachary born about 1673 Thomas born about 1674 James born about 1675 Mildred born about 1676 Sarah born about 1678 (ours) Gawin born about 1680 Patience born ab out 1682 Owen born about 1684 {note: there is still controversy over the number of John Lewises in this line I am in the corner that believes there were 3 John (Immigrant), Maj. John, and John (Warner Hall) The lineage above is not correct based on their tombstones. On the tombstone of Edward Lewis he states he is the Child of JOHN LEWIS & ISABELLA and grandson of JOHN LEWIS of Monmouthshire. That makes JOHN who married ISABELLA son of the immigrant - not grandson} WILLIAM AND MARY COLLEGE QUARTERLY Series 1 Vol 9 pages 259-261 Lewis Family of Warner Hall Now there was a John Lewis who has better claims than either Robert or Major William Lewis to be considered the propositus of the family of Warner Hall. This was John Lewis who patented 100 acres in Warwick county at the Deceased of Deep Creek, and in 1653 patented 250 acres on a branch of Poropo tank Creek, in Glouchester county, which branch was then called LewisÆ Creek bu t formerly TotopotomoyÆs Creek. At the foot of the later patent are given the names of those on account of whose importation he was entitled to the land (i.e. , 50 acres for each), viz., John Lewis, probably himself; Lydia Lewis, probably his wife; William Lewis, Edward Lewis and John Lewis, Jr. (probably his sons). à "JOHN LEWIS, JR.," had a grant in 1655 for 250 acres at the main swamp of Po ropotank Creek. As "Mr. JOHN LEWIS," he patented April 22, 1658, 100 acres in New Kent, northeast side of CainhowÆs Swamp, and in 1667, 2600 acres in New Kent and Glouchester on both sides of Poropotank Creek, "next below the plantation of said JOHN LEWIS," 600 acres of which was granted to said JOHN LEWIS by patent dated November 23, 1663. His residence in 1676 being near Major Thomas PateÆs , where Bacon encamped, he suffered severely from the depredations of his troop s. In 1680, he was captain of horse in the militia of New Kent, and one of its justices. New Kent then took in King and Queen county as far down as Poropotank Creek. In 1675 he was termed major (in the foot service) and patented in New Kent 10,000 acres with Lieut. Col. John Smith, Capt. Philip Lightfoot, Mr. Thoma s Royston and Mr. John Buckner (General Court Records). According to the tombstone of his son Col. John Lewis (Quarterly, II., p. 227), he married ISABELLA _______, and had issue, John Lewis of Warner Hall. Accordingly 3 John Lewis, of Warner Hall, son of 2 Major JOHN2 LEWIS and ISABELLA his wife, who was probably son of 1 John1 Lewis and Lydia his wife. ********** 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 1 11 2 12 13 3 Change Date: 25 FEB 2011 at 00:00:00 HintsAncestry Hints for John II LEWIS 3 possible matches found on Ancestry.com Ancestry.com Father: John I LEWIS b: 1594 in Llwynwair,Pembroke,Wales or Monmouth,Eng Mother: Liddea\Lydia WARNER b: 1610 in Monmouth,Eng Marriage 1 Isabella WARNER b: 24 AUG 1640 in Warner Hall,Gloucester,VA Married: ABT 1659 in Of New Kent Co,VA,VA 2 1 14 Note: Line in Record @F126@ (MRIN 11) from GEDCOM file not recognized: _FREL Natural Line in Record @F126@ (MRIN 11) from GEDCOM file not recognized: _MREL Natural Children 1.Has Children William LEWIS b: 1660 in Turkey Island Creek,Northampton,Henrico,VA 2.Has Children Elizabeth LEWIS b: 1662/1668 in Henrico Co,VA 3.Has Children Sarah LEWIS b: 1664/1673 in Richmond,Henrico,Hanover,VA 4.Has No Children Mary LEWIS b: 1665 5.Has No Children Rebecca LEWIS b: 1666/1668 in Henrico,Hanover,VA 6.Has No Children Edward LEWIS b: 5 SEP 1667 in New Kent,VA 7.Has Children John III "the Councillor" LEWIS b: 30 NOV 1669 in Chemokins,Port Holly Twp,New Kent Co,VA 8.Has Children Abraham LEWIS b: 1670/1678 in St Peters Parish,New Kent,VA c: 27 NOV 1698 in Hanover Co,VA (ADULT) 9.Has No Children Nicholas LEWIS b: 1671 in Poropatanke Creek,New Kent,VA 10.Has No Children David LEWIS challenged b: ABT 1672 in (5 May 1695 St Peter's Parish,New Kent,VA) 11.Has Children Zachary LEWIS b: 1673 in Brecon,Brecknockshire,Wales (or New Kent,VA) 12.Has No Children Thomas LEWIS b: 1674 13.Has No Children James LEWIS b: 1675 14.Has Children Mildred Elizabeth LEWIS b: in New Kent,VA or Eng 15.Has No Children Gawin LEWIS b: 1680 16.Has Children Patience LEWIS b: ABT 1682 17.Has No Children Angelica LEWIS b: 1683 in St Peters Parish,New Kent,VA 18.Has No Children Owen LEWIS b: 1684 Marriage 2 Mary W.

The following is from Family History Research Center--The Davidson Family of Iredell County, North Carolina, John Bulmer Lisle ([email protected]) and Carolyn Miethe Lisle (2000): http://www.tqsi.com/genealogy/ [last updated 6 February 2000, when accessed 12 February 2010]: This is a study of the descendants of John Davidson and his wife Jane who came to America in the late 1730s from Ireland. They were of Scottish ancestry. This research includes a study of his brother George and other Davidsons that can be linked to this Davidson family. This study also includes the descendants of other direct ancestors, such as the Reese family, the Dickey family, the Hall family, the Norton family, the Beall family, the Charles family, the Boatright family, and others. John Davidson was born before 1709 in Ireland. He married and had several children there and brought them to America about 1737. He arrived in Philadelphia; his older brother George may have already been living there. Shortly thereafter, he and his family bought land in Beverly Manor in Orange County, Virginia. This area was split off as part of Augusta County shortly afterwards. He lived in nearby a Samuel Davidson who seems to have been related; however, we cannot now determine how they were connected. About 1747 he was granted land in what is now Iredell County, North Carolina. Shortly after their move, he died. His son George Davidson, born 1728, my 5g-grandfather, married Catharine Penelope Reese who was of Welsh ancestry. His son William Davidson, my 4g-grandfather, married Mary Dickey who was of Scottish ancestry. His son Abner migrated to Bedford County, Tennessee, in the late 1820s. After the Civil War, his grandson went to San Antonio, Texas. John and Jane Davidson with their children migrated first to Augusta County, Virginia, now Rockbridge County. The first land surveyed for John was in Beverly Manor in May of 1738 on Christian Creek. By June 5, 1739, he had bought 785 acres. On February 18, 1747, he sold 485 acres of the Beverly Manor land and 350 acres of land on Buffalo Creek that runs into the upper portion of James River. Jane had also signed these land sales when they took place. Elizabeth and her sister Margaret and her brother John were all born while living there in Virginia. Elizabeth had been baptized April 19, 1741, by Rev. John Craig at Tinkling Spring. She was the first of John and Jane's children to be born on American soil. After some eight to ten years in residence of Virginia, John moved into North Carolina with his family. He chose land on Davidsons Creek, named for him. It was located in the northwest corner of what is now Mecklenburg County and the southwest corner of present Iredell County, just a short distance north of present Charlotte. Centre Presbyterian Church was only a short distance to the south. The first of the Granville lands surveyed in what was then Anson County, now Iredell County, was dated November 13, 1748. The Granville surveyor was Charles Robertson for John McDowell on McDowell's Creek. The second survey was for John Davidson on November 26, 1748. John had the land titled jointly with his first born son, George Davidson. This old practice of first born son getting sole title was still in practice from the medieval times. It wouldn't change till America became free after the Revolution. John made application for the land and moved onto it, and George has assisted as a chairman in the survey. John never saw the completion of the paperwork, due to his untimely death. The land on Davidson's Creek followed the creek southwest to join into the Catawba River. Surveys for the Granville land in the area of Davidson's Creek area were made December 1, 1748, for John McConnell and then followed by other surveys for James Templeton, George Davidson, Samuel Baker, John Thompson, James and John McCullock, Moses White, John Reed, Benjamin Winsley, John McDowell, William Morrison, Hugh Lawson, John Parks, John Brevard, and Edward Givens. These names will show up again in the history of the Davidsons and McLeans. After only two years in the North Carolina lands John had died, leaving most of his estate to his son George. After John's death, Jane, later on, married William Morrison and had her last child, William Morrison, Jr. William Morrison helped Jane to close out inventory of John's last Virginia lands, for the aid of his new wife. He was noted to be the present husband of the "said Jane Davidson." Before moving on I'd like to list the children of John and Jane Davidson. Col. George Davison born in 1728 in Ireland Rachel Davidson born abt. 1730 in Ireland Thomas Davidson born abt. 1733 in Ireland Samuel Davidson born 1736 in Ireland, twin Maj. William Davidson born 1736 in Ireland, twin Elizabeth Davidson born 1741 in Virginia Margaret Davidson born 1742 in Virginia John (One Eyed) Davidson born 1744 in Virginia John Davidson was born in Ireland about 1709. Although we have suggested a parentage for him, this parentage is speculative. For most of his life, he seems to have spelled his name as "Davison"; however, he added the second "d" to make it Davidson when he entered land in North Carolina. The first fairly concrete evidence of his existance is a proof of importation that was entered into the Orange County Virginia Order Book in 1740. This documents announces that John Davison and his wife Jane and sons George, Thomas, William, and Samuel had arrived in America in Philadelphia and had now migrated to the Virginia Colony to acquire land. This document places their arrival in America as sometime between 1737 and 1740 as the twins William and Samuel were born in 1737. The were looking to acquire land in the Tinkling Springs Beverly Plantation, near where the city of Stanton in Rockbridge county, VA is today. In 1840 it was part of Orange County. Then in became part of Augusta County in the 1740s; and later still Rockbridge County. A key research understanding is that several other John Davidsons or John Davisons were in the same area at the same time. And all of them claim to be the John Davison referred to in this document. A key reason why it should be accepted for this John Davidson is that there is other evidence to document the existance of the sons and their birth order. In most other cases, they only have one son that they can document. While John Davidson was in Tinkling Spring, he had three more children and they were baptised there and records exist of those ceremonies. About 1748 inexpensive land was being made available by Lord Granville in northwestern North Carolina. John and his son George travelled there to claim some land. George served as a surveyor laying out a claim in what it now Iredell County. During the next year his family began selling the land in Virginia and moved to North Carolina. Shortly after the move, John Davidson died. His wife Jane, with the help of William Morrison, a neighbor whom she married, sold off the remaining properties in Virginia by 1753. It is said that Jane had a son William by William Morrison. Evidence is unclear if the son is hers or it is his by a previous marriage. However, her marriage to William Morrison has been the basis for a legend that is documented in many early histories of this family. The legend assumes that a Mister Morrison was her first husband and that he died in transit to America and that she married John Davidson afterwards. This would place the birth of the young William Morrison at about 1720. The William Morrison half-brother or step-brother who retained Tory sympathies during the War was obviously a young man - a man still raising a family about 1800. John Davidson was buried on the family farm in North Carolina. Unfortunately, no marker exists. But his presence is felt in the large numbers of people who can point back and call him their ancestor. George Franklin Davidson, son of Ephraim Davidson, grandson of Col. George Davidson, great-grandson of John Davidson, wrote a letter in 1840 that is one of the most important clues to the family ancestry. __________________ Irdele Co., N.C. Sept. 20, 1840 Dear Cousin:- Since my return I have seen the letter you wrote to Father, making inquiries about the family of Davidsons, and he has attempted in some degree to answer them. The oldest members of the family who came to this country were John and George Davidson. George married a widow Simmeral and was the father of General Wm. Davidson, killed in Revolution, and another son who died a young man before that time. John was the father of Grandfather George D., and also 4 other sons, viz: Thomas who lived and died near Charleston, S.C. - William and Samuel (twins) both lived and died inn Buncombe (the latter was killed by Indians -- the first was father of Col. Samuel Davidson who now lives in Buncombe on the same plantation) -- the 4th brother was the one-eyed John D. who lived in Murry Co. Tenn -- and a half brother, William Morrison, whose family went to Kentucky. Great G. Father John had three daughters, Rachel and Peggy who married John and David Alexander, some of whose descendents are now living in Buncombe and Tennessee -- and Betty who married Ephraim McLean, and lived in Kentucky. G. G. Father and mother Reece died about 1800, the former, who first name was William, aged 100, the latter, name was Penelope Groner, aged 75. Grandfather George Davidson was born in 1728, died in 1814; Grandmother born in 1731, died 1814. Our family emigrated from Rockbridge, Virginia about 1748. G.G. father died about 2 years after. and was buried on his plantation. There are some of the particulars about which you wished to be informed and I expect are mostly correct. I hope they will meet your wishes and enable you to effect your purpose. We are all well at present time, tho Father has recently had a dangerous spell of sickness. There is little news here. I should be gratified to hear from you. Father sends his best wishes, etc. Yours etc. Geo. F. Davidson Source: T. P. Davidson, Memphis, Tenn (Copied July 3 1896) _______________ The following is from The Heritage of Old Buncombe County, Doris Cline Ward, Editor (1981) at 189-190 (Article #304, "Allen Turner Davidson" by Mrs. Dorothy Hyde and Mr. William E. Bryson). The facts claimed have not been confirmed, and researchers are advised to proceed with caution: Three brothers, John, George, and Robert Davidson of Scottish ancestry, Whigs and Presbyterians, immigrated to America from Northern Ireland early in the eighteenth century. They landed at Philadelphia and lived in southern Pennsylvania and northern Maryland until about 1740 when John and George moved their families as well as the widow and two children of Robert, to Rowan County, North Carolina to a place near Centre Church. According to tradition, John Davidson (b. 1709) married a young widow named Mary Morrison whose beauty and charm had attracted him during the long voyage. She was born in Ireland of wealthy parents and had eloped with a devout young Protestant who succumbed to disease aboard the ship. One Morrison boy was born of this union who was raised by the Davidson family. During the Revolution that young man remained a Tory and family ties were strained. [Yes, I have read this account, however, most of the serious researchers in times past dismissed this romantic story. Who knows?

Source: Dottie Pickett] John Davidson saw much action during the French and Indian War in associatin with General Washington, and when General John Rutherford came through Western North Carolina on a punitive expedition against the Cherokee Indians in 1775, General John Davidson was in command of the supply train. This consisted of 1900 soldiers, 1400 horses, 160 light horsemen and all were equipped with a four months? supply of rations. He was chosen for this job because of his previous skill in handling such arrangements over the years. The Davidsons lived on the land that later became the site of Davidson College which was named years later for his nephew General William Lee Davidson. The children of General John and Mary (?) (Morrison) Davidson were: Twins: William D. and Samuel (first settler west of the Blue Ridge, murdered by the Cherokees); Thomas who settled in South Carolina; James and Benjamin who settled in Transylvania County, NC; ?one-eyed? John who married Mary Brevard and lived at Old Fort, NC; Rachel who married John Alexander; Margaret (Peggy) who married James Smith; Elizabeth who married Ephraim McClean; and Rebecca who married William Young.

The Davidsons originally were from Center Church. Gen. William Lee Davidson was killed during the Revolutionary War in 1781 at Cowan's Ford of Catawba River. In his honor are named Davidson College of North Carolina and Davidson Counties of North Carolina and Tennessee. A monument also stands to him on the Revolutionary battle ground at Guilford Court House. See Sondley at 369 for a further description of Center Church and the Davidson family. Notes on John: John "imported from Ireland to Philadelphia" his family including his wife Jane and 4 sons between 1737 & 1740. On July 24, 1740 at Orange County VA Court House, John Davidson gave an Oath of Importation as follows: "John Davidson came into Court & made oath that he imported himself, Jane, George, Thomas, William & Samuel Davison at his own charge from Ireland to Philadelphia & from thence into this Colony and that this is the first time of his proving his and their rights in order to obtain Land which is ordered to be certifyed." (per Orange Co., VA Order Book 2, p.209) He moved to what is now Rockbridge Co., VA. where he lived for about ten years and where some of his children were born, and removed to Rowan Co., NC Abt. 1748. The four youngest children were baptized at the Tinkling Springs Meeting House, Orange [Augustua] County, VA. by the Rev. John Craig, a Presbyterian minister.

Virginia built a small fortification, therefore, near the ancient capital of Echota, but it was never garrisoned. At the same time North Carolina took steps to protect the Catawbas east of the Blue Ridge from the ever-raiding Cherokees by building a fort, thus strengthening the colony's relationship with the Catawbas and safeguarding the westward moving settlers. Later [1757], for protection against both the Catawbas and the Cherokees, settlers just east of the Blue Ridge built Fort Davidson, on the site of the present Old Fort."

Page: 121 _______________ References Those Members of the Davison/Davidson Family Who Descended from William and Elizabeth Davison of County Armagh, Ireland, Robert Stephens Hand (1990). _______________ John Davidson was born in Ireland about 1709. Although we have suggested a parentage for him, this parentage is speculative. For most of his life, he seems to have spelled his name as "Davison"; however, he added the second "d" to make it Davidson when he entered land in North Carolina. The first fairly concrete evidence of his existance is a proof of importation that was entered into the Orange County Virginia Order Book in 1740. This documents announces that John Davison and his wife Jane and sons George, Thomas, William, and Samuel had arrived in America in Philadelphia and had now migrated to the Virginia Colony to acquire land. This document places their arrival in America as sometime between 1737 and 1740 as the twins William and Samuel were born in 1737. The were looking to acquire land in the Tinkling Springs Beverly Plantation, near where the city of Stanton in Rockbridge county, VA is today. In 1840 it was part of Orange County. Then in became part of Augusta County in the 1740s; and later still Rockbridge County. A key research understanding is that several other John Davidsons or John Davisons were in the same area at the same time. And all of them claim to be the John Davison referred to in this document. A key reason why it should be accepted for this John Davidson is that there is other evidence to document the existance of the sons and their birth order. In most other cases, they only have one son that they can document. While John Davidson was in Tinkling Spring, he had three more children and they were baptised there and records exist of those ceremonies. About 1748 inexpensive land was being made available by Lord Granville in northwestern North Carolina. John and his son George travelled there to claim some land. George served as a surveyor laying out a claim in what it now Iredell County. During the next year his family began selling the land in Virginia and moved to North Carolina. Shortly after the move, John Davidson died. His wife Jane, with the help of William Morrison, a neighbor whom she married, sold off the remaining properties in Virginia by 1753. It is said that Jane had a son William by William Morrison. Evidence is unclear if the son is hers or it is his by a previous marriage. However, her marriage to William Morrison has been the basis for a legend that is documented in many early histories of this family. The legend assumes that a Mister Morrison was her first husband and that he died in transit to America and that she married John Davidson afterwards. This would place the birth of the young William Morrison at about 1720. The William Morrison half-brother or step-brother who retained Tory sympathies during the War was obviously a young man - a man still raising a family about 1800. John Davidson was buried on the family farm in North Carolina. Unfortunately, no marker exists. But his presence is felt in the large numbers of people who can point back and call him their ancestor. The Legend According to family tradition, Mister Morrison was a young unmarried, Irish Protestant who became enamored of a young, unmarried Irish Catholic lady. Her father, an ardent Catholic, opposed the marriage, and the young couple ran away, were married, and embarked for America. Mister Morrison died on the way and his young widow reached Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in a destitute condition. John Davidson, a young bachelor, was an emigrant from Ireland to America on the same ship and there became acquainted with the Morrisons. His sympathy was awakened in behalf of the young widow, especially, when on their arrival at Philadelphia, he learned of her necessitous condition. He procured for her a home with a family of some of his friends and and advanced her some money to defray her expenses in the interval. On returning to the city after several months, her learned that her family had refused her any aid and that she had given birth to a son of her marriage which was adding to her distress. Again, he came to her relief, and eventually that ripened into affection. They were married and raised a large family. He raised his family in Pennsylvania, probably in Lancaster County. About 1750 the family moved to Rowan County, North Carolina in an area known as Center Church. That area is now in Iredel County. Source: Davidson Family History and Ancestry.

However, I have not yet seen any proof that the Gloustershire man was the same one who came to Pennsylvania and died sometime between 28 Seventh Month [September] 1708 and 5 March 1709/10 in Byberry, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania. William married 12 February 1686/7 Hannah HOWELL, daughter of Thomas. Our William, whoever were his parents, emigrated to America on the Greyhound, Joseph Wasey, master. The ship loaded in London from 11 April to 31 May 1677, just after the more famous Kent, and like her was also bound for New Jersey. The Greyhound arrived at Wickaco [sic] in the Delaware River in October 1677. William Hibbs or Hebes is identified among her passengers by Sheppard, which is definitive enough for me.[6] If our William was born in 1664/5, he would be twelve years old when he arrived in New Jersey. My assumption is that he would have been apprenticed or indentured to someone. Thus far I have found no trace of him until he shows up five to eight years later in Pennsylvania. If William turned 21 in 1685, my guess is that this is when he would have been able to settle. He showed up in the general vicinity of Byberry by 1685.[7] His land lay northwest of the tract belonging to Henry ENGLISH. On Holmes's map, Henry English shares a tract with Henry COMLY, Sarah WOOLMAN, and Abel NOBLE on the county line.[8] William Hibbs's land is not marked. Friends meetings for worship were settled in Byberry in 1683, meeting first at the home of John Hart. The first meeting house was constructed in about 1694. About the year 1701 it became a Preparative Meeting under Abington Monthly Meeting. The stone meeting house was built in 1714, with an addition in 1753. This was replaced in 1808 by a new stone meeting house, about 66 feet by 36 feet.[9] So the building presently in use is not the one in which our Hibbs family worshipped. William and Hannah HOWELL, sometimes spelled Houl, and perhaps Hywel in Welsh, daughter of Thomas, were married 12 February 1686/7 in Byberry Meeting.[10] On Holmes's map, the tract for "Thomas Hould" was just over the county line in Bucks County, bordered by Lawrence and Joseph Growden to the southeast, John Gilbert to the northeast, On 26/12m/1689 "Will Hibbs" and Nicholas HICKET witnessed a power of attorney granted by two Bucks County shipwrights to appoint Abel HINEKSTON [sic] to be their attorney to receive a deed for 40 acres.[11] When the Keithian controversy[12] erupted in 1692, John HART was a leading supporter of George KEITH. Because Byberry Meeting was held so near Hart's house, and was considerably under his influence, a group of Friends seceeded and met at the home of Henry ENGLISH. William Hibbs was one of those who left. Since the Friends burying ground was on Hart's farm, in 1694 English gave an acre of his land for Friends to use as a "burying-place" for those in good standing with the meeting. In spite of the provision that the land only be used for burials, a meeting house was soon erected there, with the full consent of the donor. The building was of logs, chinked with mud, and covered with bark. It served as a place of worship for twenty years before being replaced with a more comfortable stone structure.[13] At some point Abington Monthly Meeting minuted dealing with a William Hibbs for refusing to take off his hat when William WALTON (d. 1736), the first recorded minister in Byberry, prayed.[14] I do not know the date. It might well have been part of the Keithian controversy: a person who did not remove his hat when another Friend prayed was saying, in effect, that the praying Friend was not really communicating with God, that he was at best insincere, and more likely an imposter, not a true minister called by Christ. This, obviously, was a serious charge to make against someone the meeting had recognized as being given by God gifts of ministry. This needs more research in the minutes of Abington MM. It is possible it concerns a different man with the same name. Local historian Joseph Martindale cryptically wrote that William Hibbs "seems to have had some difficulty with his neighbors."[15] Meeting minutes and court records need to be checked to confirm this and uncover details. He is perhaps confusing William with his son and grandson? William died between 28 September 1708 when he signed his will and 5 March 1709/10 when it was probated.[16] He signed with his mark, indicating he was illiterate, and it was witnessed by Abraham GRIFFITH, and Henry ENGLISH (who also signed with a mark). William named his wife Hannah executrix, and mentioned his children Joseph, Jonathan, Jacob, William, Jeremiah, Sarah, Phebe, and Hannah. For overseers he named Daniel WALTON and William WALTON, possibly (but not necessarily) the one who was a recorded minister.[17] The confusion on the part of many familysearch entries as to where he died or was buried is probably a result of unfamiliarity with the structure of Friends meetings and records. Abington was the Monthly Meeting, under whose care all marriages occurred, and in whose records all births and deaths were recorded. Byberry was a Preparative Meeting under Abington, with its own burying ground. William would technically be a member of Abington Monthly Meeting but would be an active participant of Byberry, because that is where he lived and worshipped. Hannah married secondly, in 1712, Henry ENGLISH, whose farm lay southeast of the Hibbs's. Before they were married, in March 1711/2, Henry had made a deed of his property to her, "in consideration of the love, good-will and affection which he had and did bear toward his loving friend, Hannah Hibbs." Henry died about 1724. They had no children.[18] Hannah's will was written 13 June 1737 and probated 30 August 1737. She listed her daughters Sarah Cooper and Phobey BLICOR [sic: Blaker], and youngest son Jeremiah. Executors were her sons Joseph and William Hibbs.[19] Children of William and Hannah (Howell) Hibbs:[20] Joseph2 Hibbs, b. 1687/8 in Byberry; d. 22 Mar. 1762 in Buckingham; m(1) Rachel WARING (1687-1740); m(2) 1749 Catherine LOVE.

Her paper acknowledging and condemning her action was accepted by Friends 4/5m/1780.[28] e) William Hibbs, Jr. b. 2/10m/1735; disowned 2/9m/1756 for highway robbery. See below. f) James Hibbs, b. 7/10m/1737; d. d. 31 Jan. 1789 In his will, dated 12/9m/1785, he identified himself as William Jr. of Northampton township. He did not name his wife. Son Benjamin was made executor. William named his son Nehemiah's children; and his own sons James and William, and daughters Anna WORSTALL, Abigail PARSONS, and Ann SMITH.[29] g) Ann Hibbs, b. 12/9m/1739; The Middletown Monthly Meeting overseers reported that a complaint was brought against William Hibbs Sr. by Margaret THORNTON for refusing to settle long-standing accounts with her and her late husband Joseph, 6/2m/1755; they were reported settled 6/3m/1755.[30] Later that year William Hibbs Jr. was accused by John WILLIAMS of robbing him on the road at night. William Jr. denied the robbery, and came to monthly meeting but was unable to clear himself. Friends decided 4/12m/1755 that a testimony needed to be made explicitly explaining that because of behavior so inconsistent with Friends' principles, William Jr. could no longer be owned as a Friend. The following month a testimony was read, approved, and ordered to be delivered to William Jr., along with acquainting him of his right to appeal to the quarterly meeting. At the next monthly meeting, 4/3m/1756, it was reported that the testimony had been delivered and William Jr. intended to appeal. But he didn't go to Quarterly Meeting to make his appeal, so "the meeting's judgment stands", Abington minuted in 2/9m/1756. The final step was reading the testimony after meeting for worship, and at the meeting 7/10m/1756 it was reported to have been accomplished. In the meantime, on 6/11m/1755 William Sr. was asked to come to the next monthly meeting on account of his son. But when William Sr. didn't show up, a committee was named to speak to him, 4/12m/1755. They reported back that William Sr. said he would come but he was ill. Friends thought a testimony ought to be drawn up and delivered to William Hibbs Sr., who said he didnt mean to countenance his son's disorder or to slight the meeting, 5/2m/1756. So apparently this acknowledgment was sufficient and the charges were dropped.[31] A few years later the overseers reported that William [presumably Sr. since Jr was disowned] Hibbs "in public railed and villified holy men recorded in the scriptures of Truth". Friends agreed that a testimony be prepared, 4/1m/1759; the testimony was signed, and William said he would not appeal, 1/2m/1759; the testimony was reported read, 3m/1759.[32] William is in the Northampton tax duplicate for 1761, assessed on £16.4.0.[33] William was named co-executor of his mother's will in 1737.

A graduate of Magdalene College Oxford, he was one of four brothers who came to Virginia. These included Thomas West, Lord De la Warr, who was Virginia's first governor, and Francis West who was a later governor. John West arrived on the Bony Bess (sic) in 1618. After the massacre in March 1622 he commanded a company in attacks against the Indians. He was elected to the House of Burgesses in the years 1628 to 1630, and then when lands became available upon the York River in 1630 he patented 600 acres at Chiskiack, east of Felgate's Creek, which land was later known as Bellfield, selling it after he left in 1650 to Edward Digges. He then moved to the area of the current city of West Point, Virginia, where in 1652 he patented 850 acres, subsequently in 1654 enlarging the patent to 3000 acres. Other patents included 1550 acres in 1651 along the south fork of the York River and 1000 acres on the northeast side of the Mattaponi River. Very much a leader in the colony, he was a member of the council from 1631 to 1659, and a justice of York County in 1634. After the famous incident in which Governor Harvey was "thrust out" and sent back to England, John West being the senior member of the council was selected by the others and served as acting governor from May 1635 to January 1637. In 1637 together with four others he was ordered back to London to answer to the King for these activities but was cleared and in 1642 with Governor Berkeley's arrival was appointed at the king's direction to be Virginia's Muster‑Master. He married Ann (unknown) and they had a son named John born in 1632. In 1659 John West died at West Point, and the following year the House of Burgesses passed a resolution in honor of John West and the noble West family, ordering that the heir, his only child, young John West, be exempt from paying all levies during his lifetime.

Gregory" by Firdinando Austin, February 13, 1653, along with her first husband Thomas Gregory, when Austin claimed headrights for paying their transportation to the new world. In the latter part of 1656, and soon after the death of her second husband Joseph Parsons, Jane met and married John Stith. In 1663, after the death of Edward Mosby, John was made guardian of Jane's stepchild, Judith Parsons. John and Jane had at least the following Five children: Captain John Stith Jr., their first male child and heir to his father's fortune, married Mary Randolph, the daughter of Colonel William Randolph and Mary Royal Isham of Turkey Island; a second son, Lieutenant Colonel Drury Stith whom married Susanna Bathurst; a daughter Ann, second wife of the wealthy Colonel Robert Bolling Sr. of Kippax Plantation of Hopewell, Virginia; husband of first wife Jane Rolfe, granddaughter of Matoaka "Pocahontas"; a daughter Agnes, wife of Thomas Wynn, and Jane, wife of Captain Daniel Llewellyn.

#43828904 Lidia Jane Uptygrove
I was just wondering if you might add the additional spellings for the Uptigrove /Uptegrove name in your listing for Lidia Jane? She was a sister to my ggg grandfather that was not in the home in the 1850 listing for the census that you mentioned on her memorial. Frank was already in his own home at that time and I am trying to connect this family together.
When doing a general search for the Uptigrove name and all it's variable spellings it is hard to find all the children of Elijah and Lydia Collins /Collings Uptigrove /Uptegrove and so forth. Do you think this might help to show the connections? I have seen this name in about 10 or more different variations using every vowel known.
When you have time I would love to know what you think about trying to simplify this family if it can be done. Thanks!

Bio: NOTE:
The research below is from a contributor on ancestry.com: it is not my work and I do not want to claim it as so.
The information is so important that it needs to be readily available in a public forum for descendants of this family who played such an important role in the American Revolution.
_________________________________________________

"On 14 July 1760, Samuel Rankin purchased 320 acres from David Alexander on James Cathey's Mill Creek in Rowan County, NC. John and William Rankin, believed by some to be Samuel's brothers, both preceded him to that part of Orange County near Rowan County which later became Guilford County. Between 1760 and 1765, Samuel was very active in Rowan County serving on various juries and grand juries. On 31 Aug 1765, he and 'wife Elenor' sold this same 320 acres on James Cathey's Mill Creek to John McNeeley." [A. Gregg Moore & Forney A. Rankin, The Rankins of North Carolina, (Marietta, GA: 1997), 20.]

Samuel and Ellen Rankin moved from Rowan County to Mecklenburg County around 1765. On 19 Jan 1768, they purchased 150 acres of land on Kuykendall's Creek in what is now Gaston County from David Alexander, planter of Mecklenburg County. Then, on 22 Dec 1768, Samuel Rankin
received a grant of 200 acres of land from Governor Tryon. His land transactions were numerous. [A. Gregg Moore & Forney A. Rankin, The Rankins of North Carolina, (Marietta, GA: 1997), 20.]

From the Tryon County, North Carolina Court Minutes:
At the October 1771 term a deed of sale from David Alexander to Samuel Rankin dated 19 Jan 1768 for 150 acres of land was acknowledged in open Court and ordered to be registered. At the April 1774 term a deed of sale from Samuel Rankin & Eleanor his wife to Philip Alston for 150 acres of land dated 26 March 1773 acknowledged in open Court by Samuel Rankin and ordered to be registered. At the same session, a deed of sale from Samuel Rankin to
Philip Alston for 200 acres of land dated 26 Jan 1773 was acknowledged in open Court and ordered to be registered.
At the April 1774 term a deed of sale from Alexander Gilliland to Samuel Rankin for 202 acres of land dated 8 Mar 1772 was acknowledged in open Court and ordered to be registered.

A bronze marker placed by D.A.R. on the stone wall surrounding Goshen Grove Cemetery where he is buried commends Samuel Rankin as patriot in Revolutionary war - due to age, probably gave supplies and services.
From Revolutionary Army Accounts for North Carolina A:179,
Historical Commission, Raleigh North Carolina: "For sundries furnished the militia of North Carolina, Virginia and South Carolina as allowed by Brown, McKissick, auditors, Salisbury District September 1781 to Samuel
Rankin for wagon hire."

Also, A:225: "For sundries furnished the Militia of North Carolina as allowed by Ervin and Miler, auditors for Morgan District."Also from Revolutionary War Accounts of North Carolina, Volume 5, page 36, folio 1.

An article by Minnie Stowe Puett, Gaston Co. historian, in her book "History of Gaston County":

Samuel Rankin, the Gaston County pioneer of the family of that name, was of Scotch-Irish stock. He, with the Moores, Alexanders, and others of his countrymen, came to
the Mt. Holly section from Pennsylvania about 1763 and settled on Kuykendall or Dutchman's Creek on lands opened by the government a short time before, some of which had been taken by James Armstrong. The lands of Samuel Rankin's first settlement were purchased from Armstrong. Two years later he moved to a large grant of 2000 acres, lying between Stanley and Dutchman's Creeks. While living in Pennsylvania, he married Ellen Alexander, a sister of
Robert Alexander and an aunt of Margaret Alexander, Robert's daughter, who was betrothed to Major William Chronicle at the time of his death at King's Mountain. Robert Alexander also moved to the Mt. Holly section
and became prominent in the county.
Samuel Rankin and his wife had eleven children. One of these, William, was a soldier of the Revolution. A sketch of him will be given later.
Much of the land of the original grant to Samuel Rankin is still in possession of his descendants. The late Rufus Rankin, reared in the New Hope section of the county, built a new house on the site of the original settlement, about two miles from Stanley on the north side of Stanley
Creek. Rufus died a short time after his home was completed. His widow, Minnie Armstrong Rankin, continued to occupy it for a while, but she later moved to Gastonia.
The settlement has for years been known as Rankintown.

Article from "The Gastonia Gazette" - Gastonia, NC, May 1955 by Mrs. Kay Dixon(picture included)

Samuel Rankin and wife, Ellen Alexander, were pioneers who settled in this area in 1765, and obtained a grant to a large tract of land, the majority of which is still in the possession of the Rankin family. Samuel built a house in 1765 on a hill overlooking the 300 acres that he was later to deed to his son William (born 1760 - died 1853, age 93 years). When a boy of 17 William joined the military company of his uncle, Captain Robert Alexander; he saw service in the Cherokee uprising, in the battles of Cowpens and Eutaw Springs. When he was 27 years old he married Mary Moore Campbell, sister of General John Moore. They settled on land Samuel Rankin gave them and built a small log house with a tremendous eight foot fireplace. Here they lived until the finer, larger house in front of it was completed in 1800. The first cabin then was used for a kitchen; unfortunately this interesting old building has been torn down, and many tools, looms, farm implements of by-gone days have been lost. The charming old house, of logs covered with siding, has small rooms, quaint old mantles, and an inclosed (sic) stairway. The house is a veritable store house of valuable and interesting articles, among which are straight chair that William Rankin used,
cupboards with some of the original china in them; spool beds, old trunks, and tables, the old Bisanar clock with weights that rest in a sand box, a fine old secretary with secret drawers. The furniture was said to have been made by Isaac Holland. William's sister Ellen married Joseph Dickson, son of General Joseph Dickson and went with that family to Tennessee. William and Mary Moore had nine children, who married into the Rutledge, Moore, Johnson, and Campbell families, neighbors in that section. William's son Richard (born 1804, died 1899) married Annie
Hartgrove, Carolyn Beatty, and Delia Bisaner. There were 14 children, the progenitors of the many Rankins of Gaston county.Richard represented Lincoln county in the legislature of 1844-1850, and Gaston county in 1856, was influential in the organization of Gaston county in 1847.
The youngest son of Richard Rankin and Delia Bisaner, Rev. Frank Rankin, inherited the old home. He married Aneta Battley and their children were born in the house. Mrs. W. H. Jarman (Mary Delia), Mrs. Craig Watson, (Katharine), Mrs. Landon Roberts, (Jean), and the two sons Richard and Frank. The sons live in Mt. Holly and "Willowside" is cared
for and cherished by the widow of Rev. Frank Rankin. Rev. Frank Rankin and his sister, Mrs. Kathleen Rankin Moore have died in the past few years. They were among the very few grandchildren of a Revolutionary soldier left in the county.

William Rankin died in 1854, age 93, Richard died in 1899, age 95; William is buried at Goshen, Richard at Mt. Holly.

Note:
This John Lewis was a member of the Virginia House of Burgesses PIONEER LEWIS FAMILIES by Michael L. Cook Indicates that Major JOHN LEWIS was the son of Col. John Lewis born about 16 16-18 in Monmouthshire, Wales & grandson of the immigrant John Lewis & wife Lidia. Major JOHN LEWIS was born about 1639-40 probably in Monmouthshire or Brecknockshire, Wales and migrated to America approximately 1655 a few years after his father. He lived with the Mostyn family in Denbighshire for a time before emigrating.

CONFLICT: He married ISABELLA MILLER Some sources say this wife was ISABELLA WARNER but there several wives.

They had 15 children. She married 2nd Robert Yard.

Children of Major JOHN & ISABELLA were:
Mary born about 1665
Edward born September 5, 1667
Elizabeth born about 1668
John born November 30, 16 69
William born about 1670
Nicholas born about 1671
David born about 1672
Zachary born about 1673
Thomas born about 1674
James born about 1675
Mildred born about 1676
Sarah born about 1678 (ours)
Gawin born about 1680
Patience born ab out 1682
Owen born about 1684
{note: there is still controversy over the number of John Lewises in this line I am in the corner that believes there were 3 John (Immigrant), Maj. John, and John (Warner Hall) The lineage above is not
correct based on their tombstones. On the tombstone of Edward Lewis he states he is the Child of JOHN LEWIS & ISABELLA and grandson of JOHN LEWIS of Monmouthshire. That makes JOHN who married ISABELLA son of the immigrant - not grandson}

WILLIAM AND MARY COLLEGE QUARTERLY Series 1 Vol 9 pages 259-261
Lewis Family of Warner Hall Now there was a John Lewis who has better claims than either Robert or Major William Lewis to be considered the propositus of the family of Warner Hall. This was John Lewis who patented 100 acres in Warwick county at the Deceased of Deep Creek, and in 1653 patented 250 acres on a branch of Poropo tank Creek, in Glouchester county, which branch was then called LewisÆ Creek bu t formerly TotopotomoyÆs Creek. At the foot of the later patent are given the names of those on account of whose importation he was entitled to the land (i.e. , 50 acres for each), viz., John Lewis, probably himself; Lydia Lewis, probably his wife; William Lewis, Edward Lewis and John Lewis, Jr. (probably his sons). à "JOHN LEWIS, JR.," had a grant in 1655 for 250 acres at the main swamp of Po ropotank Creek. As "Mr. JOHN LEWIS," he patented April 22, 1658, 100 acres in New Kent, northeast side of CainhowÆs Swamp, and in 1667, 2600 acres in New Kent and Glouchester on both sides of Poropotank Creek, "next below the plantation of said JOHN LEWIS," 600 acres of which was granted to said JOHN LEWIS by patent dated November 23, 1663. His residence in 1676 being near Major Thomas PateÆs , where Bacon encamped, he suffered severely from the depredations of his troop s. In 1680, he was captain of horse in the militia of New Kent, and one of its justices. New Kent then took in King and Queen county as far down as Poropotank Creek. In 1675 he was termed major (in the foot service) and patented in New Kent 10,000 acres with Lieut. Col. John Smith, Capt. Philip Lightfoot, Mr. Thoma s Royston and Mr. John Buckner (General Court Records).

According to the tombstone of his son Col. John Lewis (Quarterly, II., p. 227), he married ISABELLA _______, and had issue, John Lewis of Warner Hall.

Accordingly 3 John Lewis, of Warner Hall, son of 2 Major JOHN2 LEWIS and ISABELLA his wife, who was probably son of 1 John1 Lewis and Lydia his wife.

Bio:
Royalty. Born the eldest daughter of Baldwin V of Hainaut and Margaret I of Flanders. The marriage to Philipp II August was probably arranged by his adviser Philippe of Flanders and celebrated without the consent of his parents Adele de Champagne and Louis VII. His father was so ill at the time that he was unable to reign the kingdom. On May 29th, 1180 she was crowned in St. Denis and on September 19th, after the death of her father-in-law, she became queen. She gave birth to Louis in 1187 who would later succeed his father. She died after giving birth to twins. The two boys died a few days after their mother and were buried beside her.

Royalty. Born the eldest daughter of Baldwin V of Hainaut and Margaret I of Flanders. The marriage to Philipp II August was probably arranged by his adviser Philippe of Flanders and celebrated without the consent of his parents Adele de Champagne and Louis VII. His father was so ill at the time that he was unable to reign the kingdom. On May 29th 1180 she was crowned in St. Denis and on September 19th, after the death of her father-in-law, she became queen. She gave birth to Louis in 1187 who would later succeed his father. She died after giving birth to twins. The two boys died a few days after their mother and were buried beside her.

John Davidson (bef.1709 - c.1749)

Sometimes referred to by Davidson family researchers as "Import" John Davidson.

The following is from Family History Research Center--The Davidson Family of Iredell County, North Carolina, John Bulmer Lisle ([email protected]) and Carolyn Miethe Lisle (2000): http://www.tqsi.com/genealogy/ [last updated 6 February 2000, when accessed 12 February 2010]:

This is a study of the descendants of John Davidson and his wife Jane who came to America in the late 1730s from Ireland. They were of Scottish ancestry. This research includes a study of his brother George and other Davidsons that can be linked to this Davidson family. This study also includes the descendants of other direct ancestors, such as the Reese family, the Dickey family, the Hall family, the Norton family, the Beall family, the Charles family, the Boatright family, and others.

John Davidson was born before 1709 in Ireland. He married and had several children there and brought them to America about 1737. He arrived in Philadelphia; his older brother George may have already been living there. Shortly thereafter, he and his family bought land in Beverly Manor in Orange County, Virginia. This area was split off as part of Augusta County shortly afterwards. He lived in nearby a Samuel Davidson who seems to have been related; however, we cannot now determine how they were connected. About 1747 he was granted land in what is now Iredell County, North Carolina. Shortly after their move, he died. His son George Davidson, born 1728, my 5g-grandfather, married Catharine Penelope Reese who was of Welsh ancestry. His son William Davidson, my 4g-grandfather, married Mary Dickey who was of Scottish ancestry. His son Abner migrated to Bedford County, Tennessee, in the late 1820s. After the Civil War, his grandson went to San Antonio, Texas.

John and Jane Davidson with their children migrated first to Augusta County, Virginia, now Rockbridge County. The first land surveyed for John was in Beverly Manor in May of 1738 on Christian Creek. By June 5, 1739, he had bought 785 acres. On February 18, 1747, he sold 485 acres of the Beverly Manor land and 350 acres of land on Buffalo Creek that runs into the upper portion of James River. Jane had also signed these land sales when they took place. Elizabeth and her sister Margaret and her brother John were all born while living there in Virginia. Elizabeth had been baptized April 19, 1741, by Rev. John Craig at Tinkling Spring. She was the first of John and Jane's children to be born on American soil.

After some eight to ten years in residence of Virginia, John moved into North Carolina with his family. He chose land on Davidsons Creek, named for him. It was located in the northwest corner of what is now Mecklenburg County and the southwest corner of present Iredell County, just a short distance north of present Charlotte. Centre Presbyterian Church was only a short distance to the south.

The first of the Granville lands surveyed in what was then Anson County, now Iredell County, was dated November 13, 1748. The Granville surveyor was Charles Robertson for John McDowell on McDowell's Creek. The second survey was for John Davidson on November 26, 1748. John had the land titled jointly with his first born son, George Davidson. This old practice of first born son getting sole title was still in practice from the medieval times. It wouldn't change till America became free after the Revolution. John made application for the land and moved onto it, and George has assisted as a chairman in the survey. John never saw the completion of the paperwork, due to his untimely death. The land on Davidson's Creek followed the creek southwest to join into the Catawba River.

Surveys for the Granville land in the area of Davidson's Creek area were made December 1, 1748, for John McConnell and then followed by other surveys for James Templeton, George Davidson, Samuel Baker, John Thompson, James and John McCullock, Moses White, John Reed, Benjamin Winsley, John McDowell, William Morrison, Hugh Lawson, John Parks, John Brevard, and Edward Givens. These names will show up again in the history of the Davidsons and McLeans.

After only two years in the North Carolina lands John had died, leaving most of his estate to his son George. After John's death, Jane, later on, married William Morrison and had her last child, William Morrison, Jr. William Morrison helped Jane to close out inventory of John's last Virginia lands, for the aid of his new wife. He was noted to be the present husband of the "said Jane Davidson."

Before moving on I'd like to list the children of John and Jane Davidson.

Col. George Davison born in 1728 in Ireland
Rachel Davidson born abt. 1730 in Ireland
Thomas Davidson born abt. 1733 in Ireland
Samuel Davidson born 1736 in Ireland, twin
Maj. William Davidson born 1736 in Ireland, twin
Elizabeth Davidson born 1741 in Virginia
Margaret Davidson born 1742 in Virginia
John (One Eyed) Davidson born 1744 in Virginia

John Davidson was born in Ireland about 1709. Although we have suggested a parentage for him, this parentage is speculative. For most of his life, he seems to have spelled his name as "Davison"; however, he added the second "d" to make it Davidson when he entered land in North Carolina.

The first fairly concrete evidence of his existance is a proof of importation that was entered into the Orange County Virginia Order Book in 1740. This documents announces that John Davison and his wife Jane and sons George, Thomas, William, and Samuel had arrived in America in Philadelphia and had now migrated to the Virginia Colony to acquire land. This document places their arrival in America as sometime between 1737 and 1740 as the twins William and Samuel were born in 1737. The were looking to acquire land in the Tinkling Springs Beverly Plantation, near where the city of Stanton in Rockbridge county, VA is today. In 1840 it was part of Orange County. Then in became part of Augusta County in the 1740s; and later still Rockbridge County.

A key research understanding is that several other John Davidsons or John Davisons were in the same area at the same time. And all of them claim to be the John Davison referred to in this document. A key reason why it should be accepted for this John Davidson is that there is other evidence to document the existance of the sons and their birth order. In most other cases, they only have one son that they can document.

While John Davidson was in Tinkling Spring, he had three more children and they were baptised there and records exist of those ceremonies.

About 1748 inexpensive land was being made available by Lord Granville in northwestern North Carolina. John and his son George travelled there to claim some land. George served as a surveyor laying out a claim in what it now Iredell County. During the next year his family began selling the land in Virginia and moved to North Carolina.

Shortly after the move, John Davidson died. His wife Jane, with the help of William Morrison, a neighbor whom she married, sold off the remaining properties in Virginia by 1753. It is said that Jane had a son William by William Morrison. Evidence is unclear if the son is hers or it is his by a previous marriage.

However, her marriage to William Morrison has been the basis for a legend that is documented in many early histories of this family. The legend assumes that a Mister Morrison was her first husband and that he died in transit to America and that she married John Davidson afterwards. This would place the birth of the young William Morrison at about 1720. The William Morrison half-brother or step-brother who retained Tory sympathies during the War was obviously a young man - a man still raising a family about 1800.

John Davidson was buried on the family farm in North Carolina. Unfortunately, no marker exists. But his presence is felt in the large numbers of people who can point back and call him their ancestor.

George Franklin Davidson, son of Ephraim Davidson, grandson of Col. George Davidson, great-grandson of John Davidson, wrote a letter in 1840 that is one of the most important clues to the family ancestry.

Irdele Co., N.C. Sept. 20, 1840

Dear Cousin:-

Since my return I have seen the letter you wrote to Father, making inquiries about the family of Davidsons, and he has attempted in some degree to answer them. The oldest members of the family who came to this country were John and George Davidson. George married a widow Simmeral and was the father of General Wm. Davidson, killed in Revolution, and another son who died a young man before that time.

John was the father of Grandfather George D., and also 4 other sons, viz: Thomas who lived and died near Charleston, S.C. - William and Samuel (twins) both lived and died inn Buncombe (the latter was killed by Indians -- the first was father of Col.

The following is from The Heritage of Old Buncombe County, Doris Cline Ward, Editor (1981) at 189-190 (Article #304, "Allen Turner Davidson" by Mrs. Dorothy Hyde and Mr. William E. Bryson). The facts claimed have not been confirmed, and researchers are advised to proceed with caution:

Three brothers, John, George, and Robert Davidson of Scottish ancestry, Whigs and Presbyterians, immigrated to America from Northern Ireland early in the eighteenth century. They landed at Philadelphia and lived in southern Pennsylvania and northern Maryland until about 1740 when John and George moved their families as well as the widow and two children of Robert, to Rowan County, North Carolina to a place near Centre Church.

According to tradition, John Davidson (b. 1709) married a young widow named Mary Morrison whose beauty and charm had attracted him during the long voyage. She was born in Ireland of wealthy parents and had eloped with a devout young Protestant who succumbed to disease aboard the ship. One Morrison boy was born of this union who was raised by the Davidson family. During the Revolution that young man remained a Tory and family ties were strained.

[Yes, I have read this account, however, most of the serious researchers in times past dismissed this romantic story. Who knows? After reading all of the stories in Caswell County Heritage, I know some are right on the nose and a few are from a good imagination or not so good memory. I take them as my starting point. Source: Dottie Pickett]

John Davidson saw much action during the French and Indian War in associatin with General Washington, and when General John Rutherford came through Western North Carolina on a punitive expedition against the Cherokee Indians in 1775, General John Davidson was in command of the supply train. This consisted of 1900 soldiers, 1400 horses, 160 light horsemen and all were equipped with a four months? supply of rations. He was chosen for this job because of his previous skill in handling such arrangements over the years.

The Davidsons lived on the land that later became the site of Davidson College which was named years later for his nephew General William Lee Davidson.

The children of General John and Mary (?) (Morrison) Davidson were: Twins: William D. and Samuel (first settler west of the Blue Ridge, murdered by the Cherokees); Thomas who settled in South Carolina; James and Benjamin who settled in Transylvania County, NC; ?one-eyed? John who married Mary Brevard and lived at Old Fort, NC; Rachel who married John Alexander; Margaret (Peggy) who married James Smith; Elizabeth who married Ephraim McClean; and Rebecca who married William Young.

Either Robert Davidson or his brother George Davidson was the father of General William Lee Davidson (nephew of General John Johnson). The Davidsons originally were from Center Church. Gen. William Lee Davidson was killed during the Revolutionary War in 1781 at Cowan's Ford of Catawba River. In his honor are named Davidson College of North Carolina and Davidson Counties of North Carolina and Tennessee. A monument also stands to him on the Revolutionary battle ground at Guilford Court House. See Sondley at 369 for a further description of Center Church and the Davidson family.

Notes on John: John "imported from Ireland to Philadelphia" his family including his wife Jane and 4 sons between 1737 & 1740. On July 24, 1740 at Orange County VA Court House, John Davidson gave an Oath of Importation as follows: "John Davidson came into Court & made oath that he imported himself, Jane, George, Thomas, William & Samuel Davison at his own charge from Ireland to Philadelphia & from thence into this Colony and that this is the first time of his proving his and their rights in order to obtain Land which is ordered to be certifyed." (per Orange Co., VA Order Book 2, p.209) He moved to what is now Rockbridge Co., VA. where he lived for about ten years and where some of his children were born, and removed to Rowan Co., NC Abt. 1748. The four youngest children were baptized at the Tinkling Springs Meeting House, Orange [Augustua] County, VA. by the Rev. John Craig, a Presbyterian minister. Source: Dottie PIckett

"In 1756, Virginia had asked to join South Carolina in the building of Fort Loudon, but the Cherokees wanted each colony to construct a fort. Virginia built a small fortification, therefore, near the ancient capital of Echota, but it was never garrisoned. At the same time North Carolina took steps to protect the Catawbas east of the Blue Ridge from the ever-raiding Cherokees by building a fort, thus strengthening the colony's relationship with the Catawbas and safeguarding the westward moving settlers. Later [1757], for protection against both the Catawbas and the Cherokees, settlers just east of the Blue Ridge built Fort Davidson, on the site of the present Old Fort."

_______________

John Davidson was born in Ireland about 1709. Although we have suggested a parentage for him, this parentage is speculative. For most of his life, he seems to have spelled his name as "Davison"; however, he added the second "d" to make it Davidson when he entered land in North Carolina.

The first fairly concrete evidence of his existance is a proof of importation that was entered into the Orange County Virginia Order Book in 1740. This documents announces that John Davison and his wife Jane and sons George, Thomas, William, and Samuel had arrived in America in Philadelphia and had now migrated to the Virginia Colony to acquire land. This document places their arrival in America as sometime between 1737 and 1740 as the twins William and Samuel were born in 1737. The were looking to acquire land in the Tinkling Springs Beverly Plantation, near where the city of Stanton in Rockbridge county, VA is today. In 1840 it was part of Orange County. Then in became part of Augusta County in the 1740s; and later still Rockbridge County.

A key research understanding is that several other John Davidsons or John Davisons were in the same area at the same time. And all of them claim to be the John Davison referred to in this document. A key reason why it should be accepted for this John Davidson is that there is other evidence to document the existance of the sons and their birth order. In most other cases, they only have one son that they can document.

While John Davidson was in Tinkling Spring, he had three more children and they were baptised there and records exist of those ceremonies.

About 1748 inexpensive land was being made available by Lord Granville in northwestern North Carolina. John and his son George travelled there to claim some land. George served as a surveyor laying out a claim in what it now Iredell County. During the next year his family began selling the land in Virginia and moved to North Carolina.

Shortly after the move, John Davidson died. His wife Jane, with the help of William Morrison, a neighbor whom she married, sold off the remaining properties in Virginia by 1753. It is said that Jane had a son William by William Morrison. Evidence is unclear if the son is hers or it is his by a previous marriage.

However, her marriage to William Morrison has been the basis for a legend that is documented in many early histories of this family. The legend assumes that a Mister Morrison was her first husband and that he died in transit to America and that she married John Davidson afterwards. This would place the birth of the young William Morrison at about 1720. The William Morrison half-brother or step-brother who retained Tory sympathies during the War was obviously a young man - a man still raising a family about 1800.

John Davidson was buried on the family farm in North Carolina. Unfortunately, no marker exists. But his presence is felt in the large numbers of people who can point back and call him their ancestor.

The Legend

According to family tradition, Mister Morrison was a young unmarried, Irish Protestant who became enamored of a young, unmarried Irish Catholic lady. Her father, an ardent Catholic, opposed the marriage, and the young couple ran away, were married, and embarked for America. Mister Morrison died on the way and his young widow reached Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in a destitute condition.

John Davidson, a young bachelor, was an emigrant from Ireland to America on the same ship and there became acquainted with the Morrisons. His sympathy was awakened in behalf of the young widow, especially, when on their arrival at Philadelphia, he learned of her necessitous condition.

He procured for her a home with a family of some of his friends and and advanced her some money to defray her expenses in the interval. On returning to the city after several months, her learned that her family had refused her any aid and that she had given birth to a son of her marriage which was adding to her distress. Again, he came to her relief, and eventually that ripened into affection. They were married and raised a large family.

He raised his family in Pennsylvania, probably in Lancaster County. About 1750 the family moved to Rowan County, North Carolina in an area known as Center Church. That area is now in Iredel County.

William1 Hibbs, supposed to be the son of William and Joanne (__) Hibbs of the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, was said to have been born the 23 of December or January 1664/5. However, I have not yet seen any proof that the Gloustershire man was the same one who came to Pennsylvania and died sometime between 28 Seventh Month [September] 1708 and 5 March 1709/10 in Byberry, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania. William married 12 February 1686/7 Hannah HOWELL, daughter of Thomas.

Our William, whoever were his parents, emigrated to America on the Greyhound, Joseph Wasey, master. The ship loaded in London from 11 April to 31 May 1677, just after the more famous Kent, and like her was also bound for New Jersey. The Greyhound arrived at Wickaco [sic] in the Delaware River in October 1677. William Hibbs or Hebes is identified among her passengers by Sheppard, which is definitive enough for me.[6]

If our William was born in 1664/5, he would be twelve years old when he arrived in New Jersey. My assumption is that he would have been apprenticed or indentured to someone. Thus far I have found no trace of him until he shows up five to eight years later in Pennsylvania.

If William turned 21 in 1685, my guess is that this is when he would have been able to settle. He showed up in the general vicinity of Byberry by 1685.[7] His land lay northwest of the tract belonging to Henry ENGLISH. On Holmes's map, Henry English shares a tract with Henry COMLY, Sarah WOOLMAN, and Abel NOBLE on the county line.[8] William Hibbs's land is not marked.

Friends meetings for worship were settled in Byberry in 1683, meeting first at the home of John Hart. The first meeting house was constructed in about 1694. About the year 1701 it became a Preparative Meeting under Abington Monthly Meeting. The stone meeting house was built in 1714, with an addition in 1753. This was replaced in 1808 by a new stone meeting house, about 66 feet by 36 feet.[9] So the building presently in use is not the one in which our Hibbs family worshipped.

William and Hannah HOWELL, sometimes spelled Houl, and perhaps Hywel in Welsh, daughter of Thomas, were married 12 February 1686/7 in Byberry Meeting.[10] On Holmes's map, the tract for "Thomas Hould" was just over the county line in Bucks County, bordered by Lawrence and Joseph Growden to the southeast, John Gilbert to the northeast,

On 26/12m/1689 "Will Hibbs" and Nicholas HICKET witnessed a power of attorney granted by two Bucks County shipwrights to appoint Abel HINEKSTON [sic] to be their attorney to receive a deed for 40 acres.[11]

When the Keithian controversy[12] erupted in 1692, John HART was a leading supporter of George KEITH. Because Byberry Meeting was held so near Hart's house, and was considerably under his influence, a group of Friends seceeded and met at the home of Henry ENGLISH. William Hibbs was one of those who left. Since the Friends burying ground was on Hart's farm, in 1694 English gave an acre of his land for Friends to use as a "burying-place" for those in good standing with the meeting. In spite of the provision that the land only be used for burials, a meeting house was soon erected there, with the full consent of the donor. The building was of logs, chinked with mud, and covered with bark. It served as a place of worship for twenty years before being replaced with a more comfortable stone structure.[13]

At some point Abington Monthly Meeting minuted dealing with a William Hibbs for refusing to take off his hat when William WALTON (d. 1736), the first recorded minister in Byberry, prayed.[14] I do not know the date. It might well have been part of the Keithian controversy: a person who did not remove his hat when another Friend prayed was saying, in effect, that the praying Friend was not really communicating with God, that he was at best insincere, and more likely an imposter, not a true minister called by Christ. This, obviously, was a serious charge to make against someone the meeting had recognized as being given by God gifts of ministry. This needs more research in the minutes of Abington MM. It is possible it concerns a different man with the same name.

Local historian Joseph Martindale cryptically wrote that William Hibbs "seems to have had some difficulty with his neighbors."[15] Meeting minutes and court records need to be checked to confirm this and uncover details. He is perhaps confusing William with his son and grandson?

William died between 28 September 1708 when he signed his will and 5 March 1709/10 when it was probated.[16] He signed with his mark, indicating he was illiterate, and it was witnessed by Abraham GRIFFITH, and Henry ENGLISH (who also signed with a mark). William named his wife Hannah executrix, and mentioned his children Joseph, Jonathan, Jacob, William, Jeremiah, Sarah, Phebe, and Hannah. For overseers he named Daniel WALTON and William WALTON, possibly (but not necessarily) the one who was a recorded minister.[17]

The confusion on the part of many familysearch entries as to where he died or was buried is probably a result of unfamiliarity with the structure of Friends meetings and records. Abington was the Monthly Meeting, under whose care all marriages occurred, and in whose records all births and deaths were recorded. Byberry was a Preparative Meeting under Abington, with its own burying ground. William would technically be a member of Abington Monthly Meeting but would be an active participant of Byberry, because that is where he lived and worshipped.

Hannah married secondly, in 1712, Henry ENGLISH, whose farm lay southeast of the Hibbs's. Before they were married, in March 1711/2, Henry had made a deed of his property to her, "in consideration of the love, good-will and affection which he had and did bear toward his loving friend, Hannah Hibbs." Henry died about 1724. They had no children.[18]

Hannah's will was written 13 June 1737 and probated 30 August 1737. She listed her daughters Sarah Cooper and Phobey BLICOR [sic: Blaker], and youngest son Jeremiah. Executors were her sons Joseph and William Hibbs.[19]

b) Hannah Hibbs, b. 6/4[?]m/1730; may be the Hannah Hibbs who m. James COOPER and was the grandmother of the author James Fennimore Cooper.
c) Phebe Hibbs, b. 14/2m/1732; in the will of Thomas NELSON of Middletown, dated 4 June 1753, pr. 4 Aug. 1753, left bequests to "friend Phebe Hibbs daughter of William Hibbs and her son Valentine Nelson, alias Hibbs and any child or children of hers begat by me" also Naomi Nelson alias WILDMAN, daughter of Hannah Wildman; and sister Ann WILSON "as long as she remains Ann Wilson or goes to live with her husband again"; Thomas gave real estate to Valentine Nelson alias Hibbs.[25] Friends minuted that Phebe's behavior was "so disagreeable to truth that friends can do nothing but testify against her", 2/2m/1752.[26] Eight years later, still unmarried, Phebe brought a paper condemning her action, but after consideration, and consultation with the men, it was not accepted.[27]
d) Sarah Hibbs, b. 4/1m/1734; it may have been this Sarah who paid a substitute fine for her brother, a breach of Friends' peace witness. Her paper acknowledging and condemning her action was accepted by Friends 4/5m/1780.[28]

Son Benjamin was made executor. William named his son Nehemiah's children; and his own sons James and William, and daughters Anna WORSTALL, Abigail PARSONS, and Ann SMITH.[29]
g) Ann Hibbs, b. 12/9m/1739;

The Middletown Monthly Meeting overseers reported that a complaint was brought against William Hibbs Sr. by Margaret THORNTON for refusing to settle long-standing accounts with her and her late husband Joseph, 6/2m/1755; they were reported settled 6/3m/1755.[30] Later that year William Hibbs Jr. was accused by John WILLIAMS of robbing him on the road at night. William Jr. denied the robbery, and came to monthly meeting but was unable to clear himself. Friends decided 4/12m/1755 that a testimony needed to be made explicitly explaining that because of behavior so inconsistent with Friends' principles, William Jr. could no longer be owned as a Friend. The following month a testimony was read, approved, and ordered to be delivered to William Jr., along with acquainting him of his right to appeal to the quarterly meeting. At the next monthly meeting, 4/3m/1756, it was reported that the testimony had been delivered and William Jr. intended to appeal. But he didn't go to Quarterly Meeting to make his appeal, so "the meeting's judgment stands", Abington minuted in 2/9m/1756. The final step was reading the testimony after meeting for worship, and at the meeting 7/10m/1756 it was reported to have been accomplished. In the meantime, on 6/11m/1755 William Sr. was asked to come to the next monthly meeting on account of his son. But when William Sr. didn't show up, a committee was named to speak to him, 4/12m/1755. They reported back that William Sr. said he would come but he was ill. Friends thought a testimony ought to be drawn up and delivered to William Hibbs Sr., who said he didnt mean to countenance his son's disorder or to slight the meeting, 5/2m/1756. So apparently this acknowledgment was sufficient and the charges were dropped.[31] A few years later the overseers reported that William [presumably Sr. since Jr was disowned] Hibbs "in public railed and villified holy men recorded in the scriptures of Truth".

John West

Birth: 14 Dec 1590 Hampshire, England
Death: 1 Mar 1659 (aged 68) West Point, King William County, Virginia, USA
Burial: Burial Details Unknown

Memorial #: 152517278
Bio:
John West was born on 14 December 1590 in Hampshire, England, the fifth son of Sir Thomas West, second Baron De La Warr and Lady Anne Knollys, a cousin of Elizabeth I. A graduate of Magdalene College Oxford, he was one of four brothers who came to Virginia. These included Thomas West, Lord De la Warr, who was Virginia's first governor, and Francis West who was a later governor. John West arrived on the Bony Bess (sic) in 1618. After the massacre in March 1622 he commanded a company in attacks against the Indians.

He was elected to the House of Burgesses in the years 1628 to 1630, and then when lands became available upon the York River in 1630 he patented 600 acres at Chiskiack, east of Felgate's Creek, which land was later known as Bellfield, selling it after he left in 1650 to Edward Digges. He then moved to the area of the current city of West Point, Virginia, where in 1652 he patented 850 acres, subsequently in 1654 enlarging the patent to 3000 acres. Other patents included 1550 acres in 1651 along the south fork of the York River and 1000 acres on the northeast side of the Mattaponi River.

Very much a leader in the colony, he was a member of the council from 1631 to 1659, and a justice of York County in 1634. After the famous incident in which Governor Harvey was "thrust out" and sent back to England, John West being the senior member of the council was selected by the others and served as acting governor from May 1635 to January 1637. In 1637 together with four others he was ordered back to London to answer to the King for these activities but was cleared and in 1642 with Governor Berkeley's arrival was appointed at the king's direction to be Virginia's Muster‑Master. He married Ann (unknown) and they had a son named John born in 1632. In 1659 John West died at West Point, and the following year the House of Burgesses passed a resolution in honor of John West and the noble West family, ordering that the heir, his only child, young John West, be exempt from paying all levies during his lifetime.

Death: 1 Jan 1685 (aged 60) Charles City, Charles City County, Virginia, USA ?? - died 1685?? - John Stith listed her in a codicil to his will written 1693
Burial: Westover Plantation Cemetery, Charles City, Charles City County, Virginia, USA
Memorial #: 260881982

Bio:
The twice-widowed Jane Stith, now wife of the colonial aristocrat Major John Stith Sr., a First Family of the Virginia Colonies, is thought to be the daughter of Edward Mosby and his wife Hanna (last name unknown) Born in England 1624, she is first documented as "Ja. Gregory" by Firdinando Austin, February 13, 1653, along with her first husband Thomas Gregory, when Austin claimed headrights for paying their transportation to the new world.
In the latter part of 1656, and soon after the death of her second husband Joseph Parsons, Jane met and married John Stith. In 1663, after the death of Edward Mosby, John was made guardian of Jane's stepchild, Judith Parsons. John and Jane had at least the following Five children: Captain John Stith Jr., their first male child and heir to his father's fortune, married Mary Randolph, the daughter of Colonel William Randolph and Mary Royal Isham of Turkey Island; a second son, Lieutenant Colonel Drury Stith whom married Susanna Bathurst; a daughter Ann, second wife of the wealthy Colonel Robert Bolling Sr. of Kippax Plantation of Hopewell, Virginia; husband of first wife Jane Rolfe, granddaughter of Matoaka "Pocahontas"; a daughter Agnes, wife of Thomas Wynn, and Jane, wife of Captain Daniel Llewellyn.
Once poor and widowed, now a Colonial Dame, married into wealthy Virginia Society, Jane lived a life of luxury not unlike the Lords and Ladies of her English homeland. She is said to have died in the winter of 1685 at their James River plantation, however the location of her grave is still unknown, although historians reference Westover as her resting place.
The foregoing biographical information is a compilation of historical data as found in various writings of the era and not one particular source. § By C. Hileman

Birth: 10 Oct 1736 Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, USA
Death: 16 May 1814 (aged 77) Swannanoa, Buncombe County, North Carolina, USA
Burial: Piney Grove Cemetery, Swannanoa, Buncombe County, North Carolina, USA
Memorial #: 28757645
Bio:
According to the Buncombe County Genealogical Society, Maj. William Davidson and his wife Margaret McConnell Davidson were originally buried on their property at the mouth of Bee Tree Creek where it enters the Swannanoa River and were later moved to Piney Grove.

Research by Holt Felmet disputes that the burial site wa moved to Piney Grove.

The land where the Charles D Owen Park is located is part of the land owned by William.

Inscription on DAR marker contains incorrect birth and death dates: William Davidson,Soldier of the Revolution. House of Commons 1790. Senate 1792. One of the Earliest Settlers of the French Broad Valley. He was prominent in the organization of Buncombe County.

Parents are John Davidson and his wife Jane (whose maiden name was likely Tucker). William was a twin to Samuel Davidson. He married Margaret in 1758.

His first child, Mary McConnell "Polly" Davidson, was born 4 Oct 1760. She married Col. Daniel Smith

Suggested edit: Maj William was one of five sons of John and Jane Davidson who fought in the Revolution and his first cousin on his father's side was Gen William Lee Davidson who died at the Battle of Cowan's Ford. Contributor: KatieMac (46896687) •
