In Reply to: SCARLETT MADDEN will 1788, proved 1796 VA-wives? chn? by Laura Pack of 2993
I too am working on the Scarlett MADDEN problem. My information is that the Scarlett Madden who died sometime between 9 January 1788, when he signed his will, and 5 September 1796, when the will was probated in Prince William County, VA, married a woman named Margaret, surname unknown. They had two children: George and Fanny. Their birthdates are unknown but George died in 1792 when the inventory of his estate was returned and recorded. Fanny left a will recorded in 1783/84 mentioning her father and her brother?s children Sukey and Betty Madden.
George MADDEN married Kezia FRENCH, daughter of William FRENCH and Winifred HALL. They had two children, Sukey, who died young, and Elizabeth who married Richard STONE, son of Valentine STONE and Mary EVANS on 21 October 1796 in Madison County, KY. Meanwhile, Kezia French Madden married Valentine Stone, as her second husband and his second wife. One date given for this second marriage is ?about 1785?, although the earliest birthdate for their several children is 1789.
The above information is based on Katherine Cox Gottshalk?s ?Ashton-Hall-Leasure-French Families of Virginia,? in ?Family Records?, vol. 1, submitted by May Stone to support her application for membership in the DAR (see pages 98 and 113-123).
Obviously the above information presents some problems. A marriage date in the 1780s for Valentine Stone and Kezia French Madden is in conflict with a deathdate of 1792 for George Madden (unless Kezia simply ran off with Valentine, for which there is no evidence). One clue is that Fanny Madden?s 1783/84 will, which did not mention her brother George, may have been written after his death. Moreover, while I have not yet had an opportunity to view the Prince William County probate records, in an index the name of George Madden appears in Prince William County Wills, Pt. 2 1734-1920 in Will Book G, page 163 for 1782 and in the Final Accounts on page 321 for 1786. As the 1792 date is only when the inventory of his estate was completed and may in fact be erroneous, probably George Madden died prior to 1783/84, in which case a ca. 1785 date for Kezia?s second marriage would be plausible -- especially as she had at least one surviving daughter to raise.
Returning to the problem of Scarlett Madden, on the Internet I have seen several genealogies that have him married to Margaret OREAR/O?REAR. One genealogy states that Margaret was born 1701 in Prince William County and died 1780 at Atoka in Fauquier County, VA. She married first in 1728 John GLASSCOCK who was born 14January 1698 in Fauquier County. His death date is uncertain. Scarlett Madden was her second husband. Their only child of this union listed in these genealogies is Elizabeth MADDEN, born 1748, who married Peter GLASSCOCK and died 1815 in Rowan County, NC.
These genealogies, of course, raise the interesting problem of whether Scarlett Madden and Margaret Orear Glasscock had other children besides Elizabeth, namely Sukey and the Elizabeth Madden who married Richard Stone. Since the Gottschalk genealogy and those on the Internet were focused on tracing different lines of descent from Scarlett Madden, that could explain why neither genealogy dealt with the other children.
Another possible explanation is that there were two Scarlett Maddens, both residing in Prince William County and both marrying women named Margaret. Elizabeth Madden Glasscock was the offspring of one Scarlett and George and Fanny the children of the second. So far I have found nothing to support such an explanation.
I have no information regarding the other possible children mentioned in your posted message.
I plan to continue my researches into the Scarlett Madden family and will let you know if I find anything additional to the above. Please let me know if you come up with anything that might be helpful in explaining these discrepancies.

GLASCOCKS MOVE TO THE
OLD NORTH STATE
Written by Rev. Lawrence A. Glassco
At the end of the Revolutionary War in 1781, Peter Glascock was 67 years old.
In the 1782 Fauquier tax list he had 11 slaves (or 8 slaves -- one record is probably of old Peter and the other of his son Peter Jr.). He and his first wife, Jane, had raised nine children, and he had seven more children by his second wife, Mary (probably Mary Rector). His youngest daughter, argaret, was only about seven at the end of the war and the rest of his second set of children ranged upward in age to Spencer, who was about 20.
We know that at least two of his older sons, Peter Jr., and Jesse, had fought in the North Carolina militia during the war. They and their brother Spencer are listed in the Rowan County tax list of 1778. Further, their cousin Gregory also
entered 400 acres on the south side of Dutchman's Creek in 1778. (On August 7, 1774, a Jane Glasscock became a member of the Dutchman's Creek Baptist Church. I assume that she was the second wife of this Gregory; thus he had apparently moved to Rowan County by 1774.).
It was probably through the efforts of some of these relatives that old Peter decided to move south after the cessation of hostilities. So shortly after the tax lists for 1782 were made up in Fauquier County, Peter and his family moved down the Shenandoah Valley from Virginia to somewhat comparable piedmont terrain in Rowan County (now Davie County) North Carolina.
Peter wrote his will in 1783 in North Carolina. It was when this will was discovered in North Carolina in the 1950's that all of Peter's sixteen children were finally accounted for and the genealogical charting of this large branch of
the family began to be possible. Apparently old Peter died shortly after his will was written, in 1784.
His will divided his plantation of 320 acres as follows: (1) "120 acres of land where I now live including the plantation" to his wife Mary; (2) "100 acres of land
part of the same tract I live on to be laid off on that side of the land adjoining Cedar Creek" to his son Charles; and (3) "100 acres of land to be laid off on that side the land on Dutchman's Creek" to his son Moses.
Unfortunately, diligent search of old maps and land records of Rowan County does not give any further information about the exact location of Peter's plantation. There are dozens of records of the Glascock's land holdings of Peter's many descendants in Rowan County in the following years, but as in Northern Virginia, no records have apparently survived of Peter's property.
Now we turn our attention to three of Peter's sons, Jesse, Peter, and Gregory, who served in the North Carolina militia, and who decided to make North Carolina their home after the war ended.
Jesse Glascock was born ca. 1748 in Loudoun County, Virginia and remained there for a time. In 1778 he & his brothers Gregory & Peter are listed in the tax lists of Rowan County, North Carolina. There he volunteered to serve in the North Carolina militia when Cornwallis invaded the south & his pay voucher is in the North Carolina records. Family tradition relates that while in the militia he fought at the Battle of King's Mountain, South Carolina in 1780.
At about the close of the war he apparently returned to Loudoun County, Virginia, & was married to a Miss Adams (said to be related to the President) for his first son was born in Loudoun County in 1781. In 1782 his father moved to
North Carolina & settled on Dutchman's Creek in Rowan County. However Jesse is shown on the 1782 Loudoun tax list with 1 white poll and 1 Negro slave. He received only 1 shilling in his father's 1783 North Carolina will. (Most of the property went to Peter's 2nd wife & her children in North Carolina, while the children of his first wife back in Virginia received 1 shilling each. Perhaps they had received an inheritance from him earlier, or when he married the 2nd wife, as was often the custom.).
In 1791 the Loudoun Court ordered Amos Dunham to pay Jesse 25 pounds of tobacco for service as a witness. In 1795 he was again a witness in Loudoun Court. Then in 1801 his son Enoch migrated from Loudoun County to Kentucky. His father & family followed, probably a few years later, and in 1810 he is listed in the Hardin County, Kentucky, census -- age over 45, wife 26-45, 1 son 26-45 & 1 daughter 10-16. (The children are probably his younger children Abraham & Faner.) His older sons Enoch and Peter are listed in the Breckenridge County census of 1810.
Peter Glascock, Jr. was born ca. 1744 & went to Rowan County, North Carolina at the time his father moved there. He married Elizabeth Madden, daughter of Scarlett Madden (and granddaughter of John Madden & Bridget (Helm). The Rowan census shows Peter the head of a family of 12 whites, comprised of 3 males over 16, 4 males under 16 & 5 females. Peter Sr.'s 1783 will specified that his son Peter was to share in the division of his Negroes, live stock & other estate at the death of his wife, Mary. In 1798 Peter had a state land grant on Howard's Branch of Dutchman's Creek and another in 1799. In 1801 he deeded
part of this land to Scarlet Glascock.
Gregory Glascock was born 21 Jan 1732. He moved to Rowan County, North Carolina and died there in 1790, will proved 1790. He is probably the "Trusty friend" of Peter's 1783 will. He married (1) ca. 1753-1755 a Rector or Fishback.
and (2) Jane ----. He had a grant of 400 acres on the South side of Dutchman's Creek in Rowan County. He had large grants of land in Kentucky, possibly as a result of Revolutionary service. He remained all his life in Rowan County and died there in 1790.
There are a number of other records of Glascocks living in the area before 1800. Some of the early ones include:
1774 -- Jane Glasscock joined Dutchman's Creek Baptist Church
1778 -- George Glasscock lived on Dutchman's Creek.
1778 -- Peter Glasscock entered 200 acres on Elijah's (Elisha's) Creek, a
tributary of Dutchman's Creek.
1778 -- Gregory Glascock's 400 acres on south side of Dutchman's Creek
adjoin Christopher Booe, Hugh Montgomery and Henry Railsback.
1778 -- Gregory, Jesse and Peter listed as taxable persons in Capt. Johnson's District.
1783 -- Peter's will filed. Has his signature "Glasscock"
1784 -- Will of Peter Glasscock proved by Oliver Hendren, Basil Gaither and Stephen Noland. "On the resignation of Gregory Glasscock, letters issued to Mary and Spencer Glasscock."
1784 -- Peter Glasscock ordered to oversee the road from Dutchman's Creek to Elisha Creek with hands of the adjacent and to build a bridge over Dutchman's Creek. (Must be Peter.)
1794 -- Mary, widow of deceased Peter Glasscock of Rowan County, North Carolina to their sons William, Wharton and Elijah. Wits. Basil Gaither & Thos. Prather.
1797 -- Spencer Glascock to Charles Glascock of Fauquier County, Virginia 100 acres of land on waters of Dutchman's Creek left to Charles by his father's will, adjoining Spencer.
1804 Spencer Glascock (then living in Tennessee) sold 127 acres on both sides of Dutchman's Creek adjoining Gregory.
So it appears that at least some members of the family had migrated south to North Carolina before or during the war. The route was down the Shenandoah Valley between the mountains -- a natural migration route. From the records, it
is apparent that Glasscocks, Adamses and several other families from the Piedmont in northern Fauquier County may have gone south at about the same time. Some of them retrned to the north -- as did Jesse to live after the war --
while others stayed in the south.
