| 33601 | William G. Cutler's History of the State of Kansas SEDGWICK COUNTY, Part 19 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES - GARDEN PLAIN TOWNSHIP. JOHN W. GOSNEY, farmer, Section 35, P. O. Lamont, was born in the State of Kentucky in 1844, where he remained engaged in farming until 1871, when he went to Texas and in 1875 located in Kansas upon his present farm of 240 acres, 185 of which are under plow, with an average grain yield of wheat fifteen and corn thirty-five bushels per acre. He has also found his oat crop yield well. He was married in 1869 to Miss S. L. Griffin, of Kenton County, Ky. Their children are Honora, born in 1871, Charles M., 1873, Carrie Bell, 1877, Maggie M., 1879, and Zuella, born in 1881. As a farmer, Mr. G. has been very successful, and although he has studiously avoided taking any public office, he has always been considered one of the representative men of this township. He is a member of the Masonic Fraternity and also of the Mt. Olivet Baptist Church. Portrait And Biographical Album of Sedgwick County, Kan. Chapman Brothers 1888 Pages 234 - 235 JOHN W. GOSNEY. This solid old pioneer and his excellent wife are numbered among the most substantial residents of Garden Plain Township, to which they came during the early settlement of Southern Kansas. They have a good farm with comfortable buildings, a choice assortment of live-stock, modern machinery, and all the appliances of the desirable country homestead. To the people of this section they are widely and favorably known, and number among their friends the solid element of Sedgwick County. The subject of our sketch was born in Campbell County, Ky., Dec. 8, 1844, and is the son of Benjamin C. and Nancy M. (Bryan) Gosney, who were also natives of Kentucky, and descended from an old Virginia family. The first representatives of the name in this country crossed the Atlantic from Holland in the early Colonial days, but so long ago that their distinct origin has been lost track of. Benjamin C. Gosney, the father of our subject, was born in Campbell County, Ky., Aug. 15, 1821, and is still living on the old homestead where he commenced farming during his early manhood. The parents were married Oct. 21, 1841, and their family included ten children. Charles M. Gosney, the eldest brother of our subject, was born Nov. 26, 1842, and died at Camp Morton, Ind., on the 7th of May, 1864; John W. of our sketch was the second child; Benjamin F. was born Oct. 14, 1847, and died Nov. 28, 1853; Isabella M., now Mrs. William A. Harrison, was born Oct. 6, 1849, and is a resident of Garden Plain Township, this county; Mary C., who was born March 24, 1852, became the wife of Thomas H. Harrison, and resides in Augusta, this State; Missouri R., born Jan. 16, 1854, is the wife of Philip Kelley, and they live in Campbell County, Ky., Amelia T. was born Feb. 18, 1856, became the wife of William H. Wright, and died while a young woman, leaving two children; Columbus H., born Jan. 13, 1859, continues in Kentucky; George E. was born April 15, 1861, and died in infancy; Samuel W., born Nov. 14, 1866, is engaged in farming in Campbell County, Ky. The boyhood and youth of John W. Gosney were spent on his father's farm in Campbell County, Ky., where he became familiar with agriculture as it is carried on in the Blue Grass regions. He received a good common-school education, and commenced for himself upon reaching his majority. On the 22d of November, 1870, he was united in marriage with a maiden of his own State, Miss Sarah L. Griffing, daughter of Aaron K. and Maria L. (Yelton) Griffing, who were also natives of Kentucky. Her father was born in Kenton County, Feb. 7, 1819, and continued in his native State until quite late in life. Thence he removed to Johnson County, Tex., where his death occurred soon after, on the 11th of December, 1885. Mrs. Griffing was born in Pendleton County, Ky., Jan. 12, 1823, and is still living in Texas. The wife of our subject was born in Kenton County, Ky., Nov. 28, 1848. Soon after their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Gosney removed to Johnson County, Tex., where our subject purchased a tract of land, upon which he operated until the spring of 1875. Then coming to this county, he pre-empted 160 acres of land, and subsequently purchased another eighty acres, all of which is included in the present homestead. The household circle was completed by the birth of nine children, all of whom, with the exception of the three eldest, were born in this State: Noah was born Oct. 14, 1871, within the limits of Choctaw Nation; Charles M. was born Nov. 5, 1873, in Johnson County, Tex.; Carrie B. was born Oct. 10, 1875, also in Texas; Maggie M., the first of the children born in Kansas, came into the household on the 27th of December, 1877; Zue E. was born Aug. 9, 1879; Wade Hampton, April 1, 1881; Maria L., March 6, 1883; Florence, April 23, 1885; Benjamin Ross, July 23, 1887. Our subject, having been rocked in a Democratic cradle, still clings to the principles of the old party in which he was born and bred. He is a member of the Baptist Church at Garden Plain, and his estimable wife, who was reared in the doctrines of the Christian Church, on account of there being no organization of this kind in their township, also consented to unite with the church of her husband's choice. They have labored with the common purpose in view of building up a comfortable home for themselves and their children, giving to the latter especially the advantages which will constitute them useful and worthy members of society. They know all about the trials and hardships of pioneer life, and although at times the sky looked dark, financially, they managed to pull through without ever having a mortgage placed upon their home. This was only effected by the exercise of the strictest economy and the most incessant industry. The paternal grandparents of our subject were John and Isabelle Gosney, who united their lives and fortunes on the 14th of December, 1815. Grandfather Gosney was born in Kentucky, July 2, 1794, and carried a gun in the War of 1812. His wife, Isabelle, was the daughter of Charles and Amelia Yelton, of Kentucky, and was born July 23, 1784. The great-grandparents were Benjamin and Sarah Gosney. The mother of our subject was the daughter of Hampton and Margaret Bryan, the former of whom was born May 13, 1795, and was the son of Samuel Bryan, who was born May 6, 1756. The latter was the son of William and Mary (Boone) Bryan. Mary Boone was the daughter of Squire and Sarah Boone, who were near of kin to the old Kentucky pioneer, Daniel Boone, whose exploits of bravery and daring are closely identified with the early history of the Blue Grass State. She was born Nov. 3, 1730, and died on the 6th of July, 1819. The great-great-grandfather, William Bryan, her husband, was born March 10, 1734 and died in May, 1780. He was the son of Morgan and Martha Bryan, the maternal great-great-great-grandparents of our subject. It thus appears that John W. Gosney is a lineal descendant of the Boones, Bryans and Gosneys, and that his wife is of the Griffing and Yelton blood. All these families were prominent among the pioneer settlers of Kentucky, well-to-do and substantial people, who carried on agriculture extensively, and had great influence in the Blue Grass State. Mr. Gosney belongs to Caddo Grove Lodge No. 320, A. F. & A. M. findagrave | Gosney, John William (I87653)

The MADDENS settled near to the present day Memphis airport way, about 3-5 miles northeast of William and Isabella's home. The Maddens had a family cemetery on their farm. With the airport expansion in the late 1950's the graves and tombstones disappeared. William and Isabella purchased, through a Chickasaw Indian agent, 800 acres of land own by a Chickasaw Indian, believed to be either Luke Measles or Torn Tubby. Seven acres (along the state line) fell into Mississippi. They arrived and built their home between 1843-45.

In 1865 William Henry and wife Elizabeth moved near Charleston, LLINOIS and arrived there the day that Lincoln was shot. All of William Henry's sons attended Lee's college at Loxa, except John and all later taught. In 1865 the family became ill on arrival in Illinois and James, age 13, went on horseback to Charlestown to buy food and medicine and care for the family. He decided to become a doctor which he later did. Once when William and Elizabeth were going to Harper's Ferry on the first train to that place, a wooden rail buckled and came through the railroad car and tore a hole in Elizabeth's dress; it was a narrow escape for both. http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/m/c/d/David-Mcdougle/WEBSITE-0001/UHP-0783.html | McDougle, William Henry (I53114)

He also owned 300 acres of "Wahob's Purchase," and 200 acres of "Lindsay" which had been his grandfather Archibald Wahob's tracts and which came to him through his mother. He also purchased additional acreage. On 8/8/1726 he had his 1266 acres of land resurveyed into one tract which he named "Harwood." WILLIAM HOSKINS married Violetta Harrison, the daughter of Francis Harrison and Elizabeth Wakelin. Thomas Osboume in his will written on 11/10/1726 left personalty to ELIZABETH and MARY, the daughters of WILLIAM HOSKINS. He left his son Joseph Osboume to the care of WILLIAM HOSKINS and Richard Harrison until he was age 21 (Will 19:86). WILLIAM HOSKINS was deceased by 5/27/1727 when his estate was appraised, valued at £473.17.05, and included thirteen slaves (Inv 12:342). The next of kin on his inventory were his half-brothers BENNETT HOSKINS and BAYLARD HOSKINS. By this date his widow Violetta had married secondly Col. Robert Hanson.

| 33635 | William Hoskins was deceased by 5/27/1727 when VIOLETTA administered his estate, valued at £473.17.05 (Inv 12:342). By that date VIOLETTA had married secondly her brother-in-law, Col. Robert Hanson, a widower, whose first marriage was to Benedicta Hoskins, the sister of William Hoskins, and who had married secondly Dorothy Turner Perry, the daughter of Thomas Turner and the widow of John Perry with two sons: John Perry and Thomas Perry. Dorothy died around 1726. On 4/21/1744 Col. Robert Hanson and his wife VIOLETTA, "relict of William Hoskins," with the daughters of William Hoskins - ELIZABETH wife of Walter Hanson, and MARY wife of John Cunningham - divided William Hoskins' land into three equal parts (Deed X#2:96). On 11/15/1744 VIOLETTA and Col. Robert Hanson divided VIOLETTA's share of the tract "Friendship," now called "Harwood," part of land once owned by William Hoskins between her daughters ELIZABETH and MARY. By 1753 Walter Hanson the husband of ELIZABETH had 568 acres and the widow MARY CUNNINGHAM had 568 acres (Rent Rolls). After serving as a justice and commissioner for Charles County, and as a Colonel in the Maryland Militia, Col. Robert Hanson wrote his will on 4/5/1746 and it was probated in Charles County on 9/27/1748 (Will 25:412). VIOLETTA was the mother of his two youngest daughters. His daughter Dorothy had married COL. RICHARD HARRISON. VIOLETTA died prior to her husband. No wife is mentioned in his will. JOSEPH HANSON HARRISON administered his estate on 9/9/1749, valued at £878.14.08 (Inv 41:2-17). | Harrison, Violetta (I20597)

| 33657 | William Lamborn was born in Chester county, Pa., October 31st, 1725. He was a member of the Society of Friends. Married Sarah Hayes, June 20th, 1753. Two children were born to them; only one lived to be married. Sarah died Oct. 2d, 1759, and he remained a mourner the balance of his life, some 48 years. He always wore his clothes the natural color ?? the wool or flax, and was often called White Grandfather in consequence. He gave each grandchild a book, "No Cross, No Crown." A few years before his d??th he called on his nephew Jonathan Lamborn (63), who at that time had charge of the Friends' Meeting House and burying grounds at London Grove, Pa., to decide on the place for his own grave. On consulting the chart of the grounds, they found, as he had said he expected to find, that other graves were close around that of his long buried wife. "No matter," he said, "I remember that when she was laid here many years ago, they dug the graves deeper than they do now; besides there can be little left in form of that body now, so when I die open her grave and lay my body in it;" and thus it was done. He afterwards died very suddenly. Two ladies called to see him late one winter afternoon. "The folks," he told them, "were all out attending to affairs"--the usual duties of a farmer's family at that season--feeding stock, milking cows, etc., and he sat alone in his arm-chair in the great fireplace corner, smoking. He emptied the ashes from his pipe, laid it in its place, and put more wood on the fire, remarking as he did so that "about all he was good for now was to mind the fire and keep house while the rest were out." They talked pleasantly for a little while and left him. Inside of an hour a messenger came to tell them that he was dead. He had died sitting in that arm-chair in the chimney-corner, Jan. 16th, 1808. http://www.genealogy.com/ftm/o/l/s/Joan-E-Olsson/GENE6-0027.html | Lamborn, William (I16541)

| 33658 | William Lee Davidson (1746-1781) was a North Carolina militia general during the American Revolutionary War. Military Campaigns Active in the war from its inception as adjutant to General Griffith Rutherford during the Snow Campaign in December 1775, he was promoted to major of the Fourth Regiment of the North Carolina line in 1776. He marched with the North Carolina line to the north and was at the Battle of Germantown, after which he was promoted to Lt. Colonel of the Fifth Regiment of the North Carolina line. At Valley Forge with Washington, ?Light Horse Harry? Lee, Daniel Morgan and others, he became friends with most of the influential military commanders in the Continental Line. Left without a command he had been ordered out for the purpose of preventing the British from crossing the Catawba. Griffith Rutherford appointed Davidson his second in command. Severely wounded at the Battle of Colson's Mill on July 21, 1780, he did not participate in the Battle of Camden at which Rutherford was captured. Davidson was promoted to brigadier general and given command of Rutherford's Salisbury District militia. He participated in resisting the entry of Lord Cornwallis into Charlotte in late September 1780. He was killed at the Battle of Cowan's Ford in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina on February 1, 1781 while opposing the re-entry of Cornwallis into North Carolina. Davidson's body was recovered after the battle and was buried at Hopewell Presbyterian Church located on Beatties Ford Road North of Charlotte (Wikipedia) | Davidson, General William Lee (I28406)

Disguising himself as a native American and brandishing a weapon William and a group of several others tried to scare Thomas Cresap off the land which Cresap claimed as Maryland's territory and the Linvilles, Hendricks and others claimed as Pennsylvania's. Within a year, sometime between 1733 and 1735, William developed a close association with Morgan Bryan's family, marrying Morgan's daughter Ellender Bryan and then moved with older brother Thomas Linville and his wife Hannah to an uninhabited 1500 acres of land around what became known as Linville Creek, VA. In the 1730s no more than a handful of families joined them at this place within sight of what would develop into the Great Wagon Road of migration a decade later. | Linville, William (I10948)

| 33674 | William married November 8, 1805 in Fauquier County, Virginia. He married Nancy Corley who was born September 12, 1786 in Virginia. She died in 1860 in Henry County, Kentucky. Nancy was the daughter of Aquilla and Mary (Maddox) Corley. William and Nancy lived on the Hedgeman River near Pipes Church, Fauquier County, Virginia. William and his wife, Nancy, lived on the Hedgeman River near Pipes Church, Fauquier County, Virginia. Fauquier County was formed May 1, 1759 from Prince William County, Virginia. Warrenton (22,186) is the County Seat. It received its name from Francis Fauquier, Governor of Virginia at the time. On September 5, 1796 William, and his father, Dickerson, witnessed the Will of John Smoot in Fauquier County, Virginia. As we will see the favor was returned when Leonard and Enoch Smoot witness Dickerson's Will in 1803. Fauquier County, Virginia 1800 Tax List, District of Elias Edmonds Junior, Virginia Genealogist Volume 19 (pages177-182) and Volume 20 (pages 250-257) enumerated as 1-1 (1 free male over age 16 and 1 horse). William, Nancy and their family, moved to Carrollton, Henry County, Kentucky in the spring of 1816, after buying 50 acres of land from Henry Davidage on August 8, 1815. They traveled by flatboat down the Ohio River. William brought his oldest brother Dickerson's female slave, “Poll,†whom he registered with the county officials in Henry County, as required by law. Registration required he certify he was not engaged in the business of slavery. William died within three years of moving to Kentucky. He may have died of the same illness that killed his slaves several years later. They may have been tubercular--a common problem of the time. Malaria was also a problem--a reason many did not settle in the Carrollton, Kentucky area. In September 1819 William's estate was being settled. His estate was unusual in that it did not include real estate. Of the total estate appraisement over half the value was in slaves. There was $641 in household goods. The three slaves were valued at $750. The slaves were Lizza, Mariah and Jerry. The slave named Poll may have been the fourth of four slaves. Poll was originally given to William's brother, Dickerson Wood, in 1803 when their father, the elder Dickerson Wood, died (Source: Fauquier Will Book 3, page 441.) Poll may have died at the same time as William. William may have earned his living "from outside of" his farm. The two compasses he owned infers he did land survey work while the slaves maintained the farm.

This day Moses Olds John Campbell and Robert Thomas appeared before me David Adams one of the Commonwealth Justices of the peace for said County and were sworn to act agreeable to be within order given under my hand this 6th day of May 1822. The commissioners appointed to settle the accounts of the Administrator of William Wood deceased made report which being examined by the Court is ordered to be recorded which is done accordingly. David Adams JPHC Henry County Court. Notes of Donald Clark, of Lexington, Kentucky, indicate the date of marriage of William Wood and Nancy Corley might be November 8, 1805 instead of 1806. Also that Nancy's burial place may be at the "old Turner burying ground" at Turner's Station, Kentucky with her mother, Mary Ann Maddox. When William Wood died, leaving Nancy as his widow, the children were quite young. Nancy did not remarry. It is likely her stepfather, Joshua Turner, was a big help raising the children between 1819 and 1825. William's daughter, Margaret "Peggy" Wood would have been about 7 or 8 years of age when William died and probably had a stronger awareness of her Turner, Maddox and Corley connections than of her own Wood family. In preparation for the final settlement of William Wood's estate, the Henry County, Kentucky Court appointed Nancy Corley Wood guardian for her five children in 1821. She was also asked to post "Common Security as Guardian to the orphans of Will Wood." In February, 1822, the three court-appointed administrators of the estate reported an estate worth $144.21. Also they reported the expenses for 1820 and 1821. Expenses involved clothing, schooling, taxes and an "allowance made for the boarding of five children at $125 per year, at $25 each child." (Obviously child care was cheaper in 1820 than 2007). It should be noted that the tutoring of the children was a unique benefit, as Nancy did not read or write and this particular era seems to have frequently overlooked the value of formal education. It is interesting that Kentucky became one of the first states to recognize the need for equal rights for women due to its having so many surviving spouses that needed equal legal rights and privileges. Between 1820 and 1830 Nancy paid taxes on 50 acres of land that had been surveyed by Peter Shepherd. Shepherd had entered many surveys in the Mill Creek area (near Turner's Station, Kentucky). No actual deed or lease has been located for William or Nancy Wood. It seems plausible that the William Wood who purchased 50 acres from Henry Davidage of Gallatin County, Kentucky that was witnessed on 8 August 1815 and delivered on 8 September 1817 was the husband of Nancy and it was this land that was taxed to her. (Source: Gallatin County Deed Book C, page 211). The 1823 valuation of her tax was $445. It jumped to $1,580 in 1825 and was back down to $275 in 1830. It is not exactly clear where she lived but it is presumed to have been near the Henry/Carroll County line east of Turner's Station and along the East Fork of Mill Creek. I had the good fortune of going to Turner's Station and driving along Mill Creek in July, 1999. The area has a lot of lush green foliage. Well kept homes and lawns lined the highway which followed the banks of Mill Creek. Indications are that Nancy and her family became associated with the Sulphur Fork Baptist Church in 1828. This church was originally started in 1801. By 1809 the records had been destroyed by fire, twice. The surviving records would be interesting. It would seem that when the Turners, Maddox’s and Woods, along with others from Virginia, came in the 1816-1820 period they added considerably to the vitality of this church. Joseph Turner was a stalwart member by 1825 and the Nancy Wood family clearly involved by 1828. Daughter Margaret was "received by experience" (whatever that means) on January 1, 1828 and it was in this same year that Eliza Jane and Nancy also appear on the membership rolls. The location of the Sulphur Fork Church near present day Campbellsburg, Kentucky on Route 55 would not have been particularly convenient to the Woods living near the west fork of Mill Creek. One suspects there was a certain social significance attached to attending what was probably the most influential group at that time. However, daughter Eliza Jane was married to Walker Bledsoe in December of 1830 by a rival Christian Society minister, Samuel Turner. In August 1831 Margaret, Eliza's sister, was married to Elias Clark by the same minister. This would suggest that going over hill n' dale to Sulphur Fork was not what it first seemed to be and that changes had been made by this time. The Little Cane Run Baptist Church near Port Royal, Kentucky would have been a lot more convenient. There are no tax records for 1830-1832 and it is guessed that by 1833 the only child left at home was George Edward Wood (my Great Grandfather) who was now acting as head of the household. Nancy briefly appeared on the tax rolls of Gallatin County, Kentucky in 1835 with property valued at $35 which would probably be a horse or cattle and not land. In 1836 Nancy appeared with her son-in-law, Elias Clark, when they were given $50 by the Gallatin County Court for "the keeping of the children." She was apparently living with Elias and Margaret Clark and helping to rear the "orphaned children of Josiah Clark" who were part of the household at the time. On March 6, 1837 George Edward Wood married Nancy Jane Batts (My Great Grandmother) in Gallatin County, Kentucky. He also appeared in the newly formed Trimble County records as being part of the boundary line that James Brown was to be the surveyor for that part of the Mill Creek Road from Peter Hartman's to the county line. This would suggest that he lived near Tom-Tom, Kentucky. In 1841 George Edward Wood was listed in the Carroll County Tax List with 67 acres valued at $400 and two horses at $50. In 1842 he appeared with no land and 2 horses valued at $50. It wasn't until 1857 that George purchased his own land in Henry County. It was 117 acres at a cost of $1,082.75 ($413 hand paid). It is presumed that Nancy Corley Wood lived with George in the 1850's but this can't be established. The last official record of Nancy is the 1850 pension application of her mother, Mary Ann Maddox. Nancy was 64 years old and her mother 91. It is suspected that Nancy lived well into the 1860's, but again it can't be proven. Her daughter, Margaret Wood Clark, met an untimely demise on May 7, 1859. Margaret Wood Clark was 47 when she died of phlistic (asthmatic consumption). It is believed she is buried with Elias Clark on the original property near Vance and along the Davidson Road. Since Margaret had received some tutoring as a child it is presumed she may have helped her son, Monterville Clark, learn the rudiments of reading and writing since there is no record of his having attended anything like a public school. Her ties to the Turner family would have also been a positive influence. There are undoubtedly many other contributions that came by way of Margaret Wood and her earlier family that are now lost with time, but hopefully this brief account helps shed some light. (Source: Notes of Donald Clark) In her 1825 Guardian Report Nancy Wood noted that the four slaves "descended to her children" had died and that "Sally (Sarah) had married Joseph Berry." In the 1826 court report the expenses were again for schooling, store goods, and coarse clothing.

| 33687 | WILLIAM PATTON died 29 December, 1742 in W. Marlborough TWP, Chester Co., PA. Children of WILLIAM PATTON are: 1. ROBERT M. PATTON, SR., b. Abt. 1720; d. Bef. May 1772, Rowan Co., NC. 2. JAMES PATTON. 3. WILLIAM PATTON, JR.. 4. JANE PATTON. 5. ELIZABETH PATTON. William Patton signed his will in West Marlborough Township in Chester County, Pennsylvania on 5 September, 1742 and it was recorded on 29 December 1742. This William Patton named named his two daughters, Jane Graham and Elizabeth Brandon, as well as sons, James, Robert, and William Patton in his will. William Patton of Chester County left his eldest son, James Patton, five shillings and his wearing apparel. He left John Patton, his grandson, and son of James Patton, ten pounds Pennsylvania currency. William Patton left his second son, Robert, the tract of land on Moss Creek in Lancaster County which was "lately bought for fifty pounds Pennsylvania Currency which tract is paid for." The author has been unable to find a record showing that Robert Patton disposed of the tract on Moss Creek in Lancaster County or any counties formed from Lancaster County. During this period of time, it was not unusual for a family to pull up stakes and leave their farm as they headed for a new home. This was particularly true during the time when the Indians were so troublesome in Pennsylvania. William of Chester County left his plantation to the youngest son William, together with farming equipment and household items. William bequeathed the sum of six pounds each to William Graham, Elizabeth Graham, and John Graham "My Eldest Daughter Jane's Children" He bequeathed the sum of ten pounds Pennsylvania Currency to his daughter Elizabeth Brandon. He stipulated that any money remained after the division of his property as set forth in his will, this money would be divided among James Patton, Jane Graham, and Elizabeth Brandon. William Patton, Jr. and Joseph Sharp, Sr. were the executors of William Patton's will. Witnesses were James Forguson, David Forguson, and Richard Ryan.

| 33688 | William Patton signed his Will in West Marlborough Township in Chester County, Pennsylvania on 5 Sep 1742, and it was recorded on 29 Dec 1742. Note: 25 Oct 1738: Palatines imported in the ship "Davy", Wm Patton, Commander from Amsterdam, last from Cowes - 180 passengers. "It seems certain that the various Pattons settling in Augusta County, VA, in the early part of the 18th century, were of the same origin as the father of whom was John Patton, brother of Col James Patton #60865656 and Elizabeth (Patton) Preston. Col James had come from Ireland in 1730. Probably one of the compelling reasons for the mass migration at this time was the forced exile of John Lewis in 1729".

His father, who had removed from Goochland to Pittsyl- vania County, devised to him, with other property, a tract of 400 acres in Fluvanna, on which he took up his residence and became prominent in the community and rather wealthy. He married twice (so family records). First, on March 6, 1755, Mary Barrett, born January 15, 1737, and second, (about 1766, Susanna Thompson, daugh- ter of George Thompson and grand- daughter of Joseph Thompson, the first sheriff of Albemarle County, of whom a sketch has already been given.

Reference is made to five accounts of the four above-named members of the Stebbing family of Essex, England, who settled in New England in the 1630?s. These accounts are, first, the large and excellent work by Ralph Stebbins Greenlee and Robert Lemuel Greenlee, THE STEBBINS GENEALOGY, 2 Vols., Chicago, 1904; 2) the account of Rowland Stebbing (or Stebbins) in Frank Farnsworth Starr, VARIOUS ANCESTRAL LINES OF JAMES GOODWIN AND LUCY (MORGAN) GOODWIN OF HARTFORD, CT, 2 Vols, Hartford, 1915, Vol 2, pp 21-28; 3) the (very brief) account of Editha (Stebbing) (Day) (Maynard) Holyoke in Charles Edwin Booth, ONE BRANCH OF THE BOOTH FAMILY, New York, 1910, p 181; 4) the much better and more complete biography of the said Editha and of her husbands, Robert Day (1), John Maynard (1) and Elizure Holyoke (2) in Donald Lines Jacobus and Edgard Francis Waterman, HALE, HOUSE AND RELATED FAMILIES, Hartford, 1952, pp 509-511 and 644-645; 5) the articles, ?The Family of Frances (Tough) (Chester) (Smith) Stebbing, Wife of Edward Stebbing, of Hartford, Connecticut,? in THE AMERICAN GENEALOGIST, ante, Vol 30, pp 193-204. Most of THE STEBBINS GENEALOGY is concerned with the descendents of Rowland Stebbing or Stebbins, who came to America with his wife Sarah on the ship FRANCIS of Ipswich, county Suffolk, which sailed from Ipswich ?the last of April? 1634. Rowland Stebbing settle briefly at Roxbury, MA., then at Springfield, MA., and later removed to Northampton, MA where he died 14 Dec 1671, leaving four children, from whom the majority of those who bear the name of Stebbins in America are descended. But THE STEBBINS GENEALOGY also contains (Vol2, pp 1117-1119) a section of Martin Stebbins, who settled at Roxbury, MA by 1639, later moved to Boston, and died there about October 1659; and a section (vol 2 pp 1005-1014) on Edward Stebbing, who came to New England before 29 March 1632, settled at ?New Town? (later Cambridge), moved in 1636 to Hartford, served as deacon of the church there, and died there, in 1668. THE STEBBINS GENEALOGY also includes (vol 1, pp 13-50) a section entitled ?Stebbins in England,? in which there are many interesting and valuable items, such as an outline of the history of the parish of Stebbing in Hinkford Hundred, county Essex, from which the family undoubtedly derived its surname; pedigrees of the gentry families that successively held the manor of Stebbing; Stebbing, Stubbing and Stybbing, extracts from the Parish Registers of several parishes in Essex, Suffolk and London; full copies of the wills of four Stebbing residents of Essex and abstracts of the wills of thirteen Stebbing residents of Suffolk, and the like. But the compilers of this fine genealogy were not so fortunate as to discover the parishes in which Rowland, Martin, Edward and Editha Stebbing were baptised. The renown American genealogist, Frank Farnsworth Starr, while working for the late James J Goodwin of Hartford, found the records of the baptisms of Rowland and Martin Stebbing in the gragmentary Parish Registers of St. Mary?s Church, Bocking, Essex County. The Bocking Registers also contained references to the Fitch and Goodwin families whe settled in Connecticut, showing that a number of residents of Bocking joined the Puritan emigration to New England in the 1630?s. Mr. Starr subsequently edited the Parish Registers of Bocking and they were printed in a very small edition at Mr. Goodwin?s expense. After pointing out that the existing Registers are sadly lacking in cointinuity (the Baptisms began in July 1561, with gaps from March 1571 to May 1583, from April 1588 to October 1592, from October 1599 to October 1602, and from 1639 to 1655; the Burials began in November 1558, with gaps from August 1580 to September 1583 and from 1627 to 1655), he lists the following seven Stebbing records: 1561 Gulielmus Stebinge sepultus est 28 May 1592 Rowlandus Stebing filius Thomae baptizatus 5 November 1594 Marinus Stebing filius Thomae baptizamus 28 April 1603 Johannes Leavens et Elizabetha Stebbin nupti 16 June 1618 Rowlandus Stebbing & Sara Whiting nupti 30 November 1624 Gulielmus Stebbing filius Martini Stebbing sepultus est 3 September 1625 Elizabetha Stebbing filia Rowlandi Stebbing sepultus est 15 June The parish of Bocking is bounded on the south by that of Braintree. In this parish, Mr. Thomas Hooker, the future founder of Hartford, Connecticut, often preached during his ministry in Essex, and among the inhabitants of Braintree were Mr. William Wadsworth, Mr. John Talcott, and the families, who came to New England on the LION in the summer of 1632, and accompanied Mr. Thomas Hooker to Hartford in 1636. The parish Registers of St. Michael?s Church at Braintree prior to 1660 have unfortunately been lost, but, as will be seen below, there were also members of the Stebbing family in Braintree in the 1620?s. Mr. Frank farnsworth Starr also compiled for Mr. James J Goodwin the ENGLISH GOODWIN FAMILY PAPERS, 3 vols., Harford, 1921, which consist of a mass of English records collected by Mr. Starr in the course of his search for the ancestry of William and Osias Goodwin, of Bocking, who also came to New England in 1632, and settled at Hartford in 1636. Here we find the following references: Vol 2, p 1148 : Braintree Vestry Book Abstracts, 6 Sept 1619 : Notice given to William Stebbing of a wench intertained at John Beckwiths dwelling on Cursing greene that is supposed to have a greate belly which the Constables have warning to look after. Vol 2, p 1166 : Braintree Vestry Book, 18 Apr 1625 : The sidesmen of the parish include Edward Stebbing and William Wadsworth. Vol 2, p 1169 : Braintree Manor Rolls, Easter Monday 1628 : Homage includes Ed(wa)r(d)us Stebbing. Immediately to the south of Braintree is the parish of Black Notley, and adjoining the latter to the southeast is the parish of White Notely. The late C. A. Hoppin once confided to Dr. Arthur Adams that he was sure that Edward Stebbing, the Hartford settler, was born in one of the two Notleys. Accordingly, I commissioned Miss Helen Thacker of London to examine the parish Registers of both Notleys and abstract all Stebbing records. Miss Thacker found that the Registers of White Notley, which began in 1541, contained no Stebbing entries whatever. But those of SS. Peter and Paul?s Church, Black Notley, which commence in 1570 and were examined through 1640, contained the following records: BAPTISMS 1593 - Ellin Stebbing the Daughter of Willm Stebbing was baptised the XI day of Nobember 1593. 1594 - Edward Stebbing the sonne of Willm Stebbing was baptised the XXIIII day of February 1594 (1594/5). 1596 - Amy Stebbing the daughter of Willm Stebbing was baptised the 11 day of December 1596. 1598 - Elizabeth Stebbing the daughter of Willm Stebbing was baptised the VII day of May 1598. 1599 - Thomas Stebbing the sonne of Willm Stebbing was baptised the VII day of Marche 1599 (1599/1600). 1603 - Margret Stebinge the daughter of Willm Stebinge was baptised the XVIII day of Marche 1603 (1603/1604). MARRIAGES 1583 - John Lawson and Elizabeth Stebbing were maried the X day of September 1583. 1584 - Henry Stebbing and Susan Bacon were maried the XIX day of October 1584. 1587 - Henrie Stebbing and Margett Coppin were married the XXIIII day of March 1587 (1587/1588). BURIALS 1585 - Susan the wife of Henrie Stebbing was buried the XV day of September 1585. 1590 - Dennis the daughter of Thomas Stebbing was buried the XIX day of November 1590. 1600 - Thomas Stebing was buried the first of September 1600. 1603 - Thomas Stebbyng was buried ye XXI of January 1603 (1603/1604). 1606 - Ellen Stebbinge widdow of Thomas Stebbinge was buried the 26th day of January 1606 (1606/1607). Miss Thacker reported the following lacunnae in the Black Notley Registers: in the Marriages, the bottom portion of a page cut out after August 1606; marriages began again in November 1606 at top of next page. Owing to this cut there is also a gap ( on the other side of the page) between August 1608 and March 1608/9. Another cut occurs at top of page after Spetember 1632, and entries begin again in May 1633. This cut causes a gap on the other side of the page from February 1635/6 to April 1636. In the Burials, a page covering parts of 1602-3 was defaced and unreadable; there was a part of 1604 that was unreadable and also a part of 1625. Miss Thacker was further commissioned to search the Feet of Fines in the Public Record Office in London, to try to find a record of disposal of property in Essex by Rowland, Martin or Edward Stebbing at the time of their emigration to New England. Nothing was found. Moreover, no will was found belonging to Thomas Stebbing of Bocking (the father of Rowland and Martin) or to William Stebbing of Black Notley and Braintree (the presumed father of Edward), and there was no record of the Stebbing family in the Lay Subsidies of Hinkford Hundred, Essex, in the reigns of Elizabeth I, James I or Charles I. Bearing in mind the limitations of our genealogical data, we may venture to set forth tese brief summaries concerning Rowland, Martin, Edward and Editha Stebbing: . ROWLAND STEBBING, baptised at Bocking, co. Essex, 5 Nov 1592, son of Thomas Stebbing of Bocking and older brother Martin Stebbing. He married at Bocking, 30 Nov. 1618, Sarah Whiting, whose baptism does not appear in the existing Register of Bocking. Their five known children were presumably born and baptised at Bocking, but none of the baptisms and only one burial of a child of a Rowland Stebbins appear in the fragmentary Registers of that parish. Rowland Stebbing and his family sailed from Ipswich, co. Suffolk, on the Francis, ?last of April? 1634. The shipping list gives Rowland?s are as 40, wife Sarah, 43, and children Thomas, 14, Sarah, 11, John, 8, and Elizabeth, 6. On arrival in New England, they settled first in Roxbury. Rowland Stebbing was one of the early settlers of Springfield, MA., moved there about 1639, and received land in the second division of that town, 24 Dec. 1640. Sarah (Whiting) Stebbing was buried at Springfield 4 Oct. 1649. Rowland had a seat in the meeting-house at Springfield in 1663, and some time after Feb. 1664/5 he moved again, to live with his son John at Northampton, MA., where he died 14 Dec. 1671, leaving a will dated 1 March 1669/70. The inventory of his goods and chattels, taken 2 Jan. 1671/2, amounted to Pounds9-5-2; the inventory of his lands, taken 11 Jan. amounted to Pounds75-3-2; and debts amounted to Pounds 46-2-0 were owing to him (Stebbins Genealogy, vol 1, pp 51-59). __ Another Source (Not cited or confirmed) states: This man was 40 and his wife Sarah [Whiting] was 43 when they sailed in the ?FRANCIS? of Ipswich the last of April 1634 with Mr.John CUTTING as Captain of the ship, bound for New England. (cited p.28 in Hotten?s List of Emigrants,also called ?THE ORIGINAL LISTS OF PERSONS OF QUALITY? ) On the last day of April, 1634, Rowland STEBBINS embarked for America aboard the Francis, under Captain John CUTTING, from Ipswich, England. With him were his wife Sarah, their children: * Thomas, aged 14; * Sarah. aged 11; * John, aged 8, * Elizabeth, aged 6. * An earlier daughter called Elizabeth had been buried on June 15, 1625. * They also had with them Mary WINCHE, aged 15. It is unknown if she was related to STEBBINS. The group cleared customs only on November 12, 1634. Rowland STEBBINS settled first in Roxbury near Boston. In 1639 he moved to Springfield (settled only 3 years before by William PYNCHON - Some accounts say Rowland with with Willliam), where he obtained a land settlement. About 1668 he was one of the pioneers of Northampton, MA. Sarah, his wife of 31 years, died in Springfield on October 4, 1649, at the age of 58. Rowland died in Northampton on December 14, 1671, aged 78. Many pp.of Greenleaf [Greenlee] talk of this family and their desc.who lived in N.Central Mass. Another source (Not cited or confirmed) says: Rowland STEBBING, bapt. 5 Nov 1592, Bocking, England; d. 14 Dec 1671, Northampton, MA; m. 30 Nov 1618, Bocking, England.; Wife: Sarah WHITING, b. 1591; d. Oct 1649 Rowland died 14 December 1671 Sarah was born in Boston, Lincolnshire, England 30 Nov 1591. Sarah was the daughter of John Whiting and Sarah Smith. Sarah died 4 Aug 1649 Springfield, Hampden, MA, at 57 years of age. Another source (Not cited or confirmed) mentions: Rowland settled in Roxbury and afterwards removed to Springfield. The families of Stebbins and Pynchon were connected at least by friendship before leaving England, and for that reason Roland chose to join the colony in Springfield in preference to going to Ct. He probably went early to Springfield, for his wife died there, 4 Oct 1649. Her name was Sarah. His death is recorded at Northampton, @@ 77. He removed there from Springfied with is son John. Thomas, the Elder son remained in Springfield. Rowland joined religion in Puritan. Other sources (Not cited or confirmed) Report: ROWLAND STEBBINS, the ancester of probably the majority of the United States Stebbbins descendents, there is a strong probability that he was born in or near the parish of Stebbins, Essex County, England. While in England he is said to have a friend of William Pynchon, who was born at Springfield, Essex County, England (which is about 10 miles from Stebbing), in 1590, being only four years older than Rowland. William Pynchon came to New England in 1629, and was the principal founder of Roxbury, MA, where Rowland settle upon his arrival in New England in 1634 or 1635. In 1636 William Pynchon purchased Agawam afterwards named Springfield) from the Indians. From 1636 to 1646 the settlers of Agawam were mostly young unmarried men, yet we find Rowland Stebbins there in 1639 with his family. In his will, ?my much honored friend Capt. John Pynchon,? who was a son of William Pynchon, the founder of Springfield, MA.? SARAH (WHITING) STEBBINS is referred to in the New England Historical and Genealogical Register, Volume 9, page 171 as having been ?buried 4 (8) 1649? Springfield, MA records at Boston, MA. Sarah Stebbins is recorded to have died at Springfield, MA. Other Sources (Not cited or confirmed) suggest: The first authentic records we have of Rowland Stebbins and his family are in ?The Original Lists of Persons of Quality,? the title page is shown in Greenlee, Volume I, page 52. This book is commonly known as Hotten?s List of Emigrants (page 281) and the records are as follows : ************ ?IPSWICH. A Note of all the names and ages of all those which did not take the oath of allegience or supremacy, being under age, shipped in our port in the Francis, of Ipswich. Mr. JOHN CUTTING bound for New England, the last day of April, 1634? are as follows: ? ROWLAND STEBING Thomas Stebing aged 14 years. Sarah Stebing aged 11, Eliz. Stebing aged 6, John Stebing aged 8 and Mary Winche aged 15. ? (NOTE: the spelling of the above names is as they were listed in the original documents which we copied exactly as we read them to be.) ************ ROWLAND STEBBINS died in Northampton, MA December 14, 1671, but no stone was erected to designate the exact spot of interment. Dr. Daniel Stebbins, about the year 1806, had the early burial ground at Northampton, MA examined to discover the precise spot where the remains of Rowland Stebbins were buried, but, failing in this attempt, in 1840 he caused a granite cenotaph to be erected to his memory, in the center of his family square in the new burying ground, on the east side of which is the following inscription. ROWLAND STEBBINS - The supposed ancestor of all of the name in America, came from the west of England to Springfield with his sons John and Thomas, about 1668 removed to Northampton and there died 1671. DANIEL STEBBINS of the 6 generation from Thomas, was born Apr 2, 1766.?
