NOTES ON HARDWICK (HARDRIDGE), KINCHELOE,
McCARTY, McCONATHY, CROOK, DAWSON,
LAWSON AND RELATED FAMILIES.

BY ARTHUR LESLIE KEITH, NORTHFIELD, MINN.

The following notes consist almost wholly of unpublished records.
They are quite fragmentary and incomplete, but through fear of the
accidents of time I am led to put them in permanent form. While I
cannot vouch for their entire accuracy, I believe they are substantially
correct.

Several years ago Thomas McCarty Murdock, of Davidson, Harrison
County, Ind., loaned me some old papers that had been in his family
for many years. The oldest of these papers was a letter written on the
two sides of a foolscap paper, the upper half of w hich is lost. Of
the remaining half, part is undecipherable. It is signed by William

Hardwick (sic) and one page is apparently intended for his sister,
Susanna McCarty (grandmother of Mr. Murdock) and the other half for
her husband, Cornelius McCarty. I shall quote the significant portions
with my own comments in brackets:

"Your stepfather [William Turley] whom your mother [the word your
suggests that her mother was not his; perhaps they were only half-
brother and sister] married moved up to goose creek near Rectortown
[Virginia]. On my return I found you, brother John and Sister Elizabeth
playing in the negro house which was the first time I ever saw you
[somewhat confirms the conjecture that he was an older half-brother].
I lived with William Turley that winter and in the spring of the year
I parted with you and our poor brother John -- who is no more and in
the year 1783 in the faul (sic) was the last time I ever saw you.
Neither did I hear that you were married [interesting as showing how
effectually distance divided in thos days; his sister had been married
twenty-four years] until Ellen Kincheloe wrote to me last winter and
as our stations are so far apart I

Page 183.


expect that I shall never see you again. Our niece Ellen Kincheloe
[Elizabeth Hardwick mentioned above married a Kincheloe] informed me
* * * We have five sons and four daughters, been married 35 years the
26th day of next June [the date of the letter is lost but was probably
1811, as I make it out below, hence William Hardwick probably married
in 1776-7] and have never had a death in our family. Old Sarah the
negro that nursed me is still with me * * * 500 miles separate us [she
in what is now Meade County, Ky., and he near Louisville, Georgia]
* * * I pray for my two sisters that is (sic) parted from me."


The other page is intended for his brother-in-law, Cornelius
McCarty. "that you had moved from Fauquier County,Virginia to Kentucky
in Harden (sic) near Elizabethtown [Meade was later formed from
Hardin] and that you with your wife and one of your children had
embraced religion * * * I became a Methodist in 1788 and in 1792 went
into the ministry and for nineteen years [whence I infer the date of
the letter as 1811] have been trying to persuade sinners. My son
William P. Hardwick (sic) having business in Kentucky * * * is a
good surveyor but makes no pretension of religion -- I have directed
him to hand you this letter * * * Methodist Church flourishing in
Georgia. We live near Louisville near our eldest son Garland Hard-
wick (sic) * * * if we cannot get acquainted personally [had probably
never met his brother-in-law] * * * ."

The William P. Hardwick mentioned in the above letter is undoubtedly
identifical with the great-grandfather of the Hon. Thomas W. Hardwick,
member of Congress from Georgia, who gives me the following data.
"My great-grandfather was William Park Hardwick who lived near
Louisville, Georgia. He married Sarah Baker Cheatham about 1820. My
grandfather was Thomas William Hardwick who married Mary Elizabeth
Davis in 1848, and my father was Robert William Hardwick who married
Zemula Schley Matthews in 1870."

James married Nancy Bosley about 1760. Nancy was born about 1735; died after 1780. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Aaron married Margaret Glasscock (or Orear) about 1766. Margaret (daughter of John Glasscock and Margaret Orear) was born about 1744 in Rectortown, Fauquier Co, Virginia; died on 1 Feb 1815 in Fauquier Co, Virginia. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Reliable tradition makes the above Margaret an Orear. Cornelius had a son named Enos Orear McCarty. Her family history may probably be reconstructed as follows:

Margaret Orear, born about 1745, md. 1st -------- Hardwick (who was probably a widower with son William) and had Susanna Hardwick, wife of Cornelius McCarty; John Hardwick; Elizabeth Hardwick, wife of James Kincheloe. Margaret md 2nd. William Turley and had Sampson Turley and others.
There is an unconfirmed tradition that the mother of the above Elizabeth Hardwick was a Glasscock, a sister of George Glasscock. If this tradition is to be accepted, it can be explained only on the hypothesis that she was but a half-sister of Susannah who md. McCarty and a daughter of ---------- Hardwick by a first marriage.

Property:
Joseph Bohannon and Elizabeth Neville probably moved to Prince William County shortly after the birth of their
son William in 1730. On 03 June 1730, George Neville (Neavil) obtained a warrant for 275 acres of land in
Prince William County that was surveyed for him on 31 August 1730. It adjoined the Kettle Run tract of Colonel Carter and lands of William Hackney, Colonel Page, Baldwin and Mr. Debut. George Neville was assignee of William Owen for 181 acres in Prince William County on the South Fork of Bull Run, Catlet's Branch, Bull Run Mountain, drains of Broad Run and the north end of Mother Leather Coat Mountain. The tract had been warranted to Owen on 12 July 1739 and surveyed on 06 March 1739/40. It adjoined land of John Glasscock.

On 31 October 1743 George Neville (Neavil) had 183 acres in Prince William County surveyed for him. The tract was on Mother Leather Coat Mountain on Catlet's Branch and adjoined his own land. The land on Broad Run and Mother Leather Coat Mountain fell into Fauquier County when it was formed from Prince William County in 1759. A warrant for land in that location, dated 25 February 1764, which was surveyed on 12 March 1770 for Mr. Yelverton Peyton, adjoined land of Solomon Jones which had been taken up by Captain Neville

Robert Peck and wife Margaret of St. Mary's Parish, Richmond Co., VA, execute a lifetime lease to John and Mary Orian[Oriar] of Stafford Co., VA for 100 acres of land. After John and Mary Oriar's deaths, the land is to go to their daughter Margaret Oriar. Robert Peck states that this transaction is for "the love, goodwill, and affection which I have and bare towards my loving friend, Margaret Oriar, dau. to John and Mary Oriar." 

Research Notes:
Margaret Orear married to Scarlett Madden can't be the same Margaret Orear who married John Glasscock. Lots of confusion on various records.

Subject: Parents of Margaret OREAR and Scarlet MADDEN
Date: Sun, 23 Mar 1997 14:54:59 -0500 (EST)

My fifth great grandparents were Scarlet Madden and Margaret Orear. I do not know when they married, but I do know that they lived in Prince William County, Va, and that they had married before 26 June 1749 at which time Scarlet leased 200 acres of land from George Brent for the natural lives of
Scarlet, his wife, Margaret, and their son, George, or the survivor of them.
Scarlet died in Prince William County in 1796. Margaret was still living in 1800 when she sold the 200 acres of land that had been acquired in 1749.

I have had no success identifying with certainty the parents of either Scarlet or Margaret. I have theorized that Scarlet was a son of John Madden, who received a 576-acre grant of land near Goose Run in Prince William County from Lord Fairfax on 6 April 1730. The land was adjacent to land owned by John and Daniel Orear, who had patented their 400-acre tract on 11 August 1711, when the area was part of Stafford County. It seems likely that either John Orear or Daniel Orear was the father of Margaret Orear, but I have not been able to identify her father with any certainty.
Any information that might help in identifying the parents of Margaret or Scarlet would be greatly appreciated.

Tony--
I have come across a reference to an Orear/Madden connection before via another O'Rear researcher, Mrs. Mildred Waddell. Mildred is descended from Mary O'Rear (dau. of John Orear who came to GA), who m. Jesse Brantley in 1797 in Hancock Co., GA. However, Mildred has done a *great deal* of research on early Orears in NC and VA and has discovered
"missing" females that were not previously included in Edward O'Rear's privately printed O'Rear Sketchbook. Mildred also lives near Salt Lake City and does extensive research at the LDS library there. She is quite elderly and is not on-line, but she is still quite the avid researcher and answers letters promptly. Her address:
Mrs. Mildred Waddell
P.O. Box 454
Coalville, UT 84017

I've pulled from my files a couple of letters that Mildred wrote me in 1990 about the Maddens, etc., and it appears that at that time even she was having difficulty straightening things out. Various information had been submitted to the LDS temple without documentation and different family history books cited different relationships -- some without references. Here are some abstracts of what Mildred included about the Madden family:

1. a copy of a family group sheet on the family of John Orear (b. ca. 1712 Prince Wm. Co., VA--son of Esther Rennoe, d. ca. 1805) and wife Malinda Madden (b. ca. 1722) of Prince Wm. Co., VA. Ch listed for this couple: Jeremiah (m. Nancy Catlett), Mary Ann (m. James Chamberlayne), Benjamin (m. Mary Catlett), John (m. Sarah Davis), Elizabeth, Margaret
(b. 13 Feb 1753) m. Benjamin Jameson, Jesse m. Melinda Holton, Daniel m. Ann Luckett, William m. Annie Calk, Enoch m. Hannah Rennoe. [I have more detailed information on birth dates, etc. on these ch.--DS]
This was submitted by Norma Y. Ericksen in the 1950s to Salt Lake. At that time she resided in Los Angeles and cited as her source "research records of Lee Orear, p. 1."

Note: Ed O'Rear's Sketchbook attributes the above children to John Orear (b. Stafford Co., VA 1713, d. Prince Wm. Co., VA 1805) and Miss --?-- Renno, dau. of Francis Rennoe.

2. a copy of Scarlett Madden's will, naming wife Margaret, granddau. Betsy Madden, and "rest of estate to be divided between Elizabeth Glasscock, Frances Reno, Peggy Cox, Franny Newman (each a child's part), John Posey Newman, and Kesia Stone 1 s (share?) each. Exec: wife, Daniel Oraire, Enoch Orear; Wit: John Prosser, Jesse Barron, John Barron.

3. copy of Fanny Shute's will (Prince Wm. Co., VA 3 May 1784) where she names sister Peggy Madden, Niece Fanny Newman, legatees--George Madden's 2 daus. Sucky and Betsy Madden, Sister Frances Reno. Exec: Father Scarlet Madden and Wm. Orear. Wit: Daniel Orear, Enoch, Elizabeth.

Note from Mildred: Daniel, Enoch, and Eliz. Orear appear to be the ch. of John & Malinda (Madden) O'Rear according the family group sheet enclosed.

4. There is some question as to whether there is one or two Margaret Orears during this time period in Prince Wm. Co., VA. A book on the Glasscock family ("The Glas(s)cock/Glassco Saga") states the following on p. 163 in the Additions and Corrections section:
"Proof that Margaret, wife of John [I assume this means John
Glasscock--DS] was Margaret O'Rear is in King George Co., VA Deed Bk 7-6-1733. She was the dau. of John and Mary O'Rear: 'John and Margaret Glasscock sell land that Margaret had inherited from her parents, John and Mary Orea (Orear)'"

Note from DS (me): This John and Mary (Lawson?) Orea/Orear were the parents of 1) Daniel Larson (Lawson?) Orear (b. Stafford Co., VA 1710, d. 1736 Prince Wm. Co., VA) who m. Esther Thorne, dau. of Wm. Thorne and
2) John Orear (m. to Miss Rennoe (Ed Orear) or Malinda Madden (family group sheet referred to above), and 3) Margaret m. John Glasscock.
Interestingly, after John Orear Sr. died, his widow Mary m. Wm. Thorne--her son's father-in-law. Mary and Wm. then had Susannah Thorne, who m. into the Rennoe/Reno family. But I digress...

Regarding the above, Mildred was trying to determine if Margaret was one person who married a Glasscock and later a Madden, or if there were two Margarets (note the Glasscock reference in Scarlet Madden's will). The IGI lists a John Glasscock/Margaret Orear marriage in 1723 in Lancaster, VA. There is also a vague reference to the marriage of a
Scarlet Madden in VA (no co. listed) with Margaret Orear 17??.

My experience with Mildred's research is that she thoroughly continues to see a problem through, so I have no doubt that she has collected additional material at this time. I also have two microfilms of Ed O'Rear's research that I bought from the KY State Archives, so when time permits, I'll look up Maddens along with some other items I've made a list of. There is no index to the microfilms, so looking through them
is pretty time consuming--albeit interesting.

I really haven't answered your question as to whom Scarlett and Margaret's parents are, except to say that Margaret O'Rear Madden possibly may have previously been married to John Glasscock; if so, then she is the dau. of John Orear and wife Mary (Larson?).

I hope I haven't just confused things further, and I will sort through my O'Rear notebooks to see if I have additional information. Back in the mid-1980s I briefly corresponded with a Mrs. Eva Genty in MO who was descended from Margaret Orear Glasscock. Perhaps she would be able to provide additional information, although as I recall her primary source was the Glasscock book. Also, hopefully someone else on the list has more information on this family.
