Alderman WILLIAM SNAWSELL, M.P., Sheriff of York 1464-65, Mayor of York in 1468, of Barley Hall, York.
---
William Snawsell was born in about 1415, in York. His family had originally come to York from the parish of Snowshill in Gloucestershire in the early fourteenth century, but we first hear of William himself in 1429, when his grandmother Alice bequeathed him her "red chest"; Mistress Alice's will is preserved in the records of the Minster. William's father was a goldsmith and William followed his father in this trade. In 1457, he had a shop built in the Minster Gates. Right next to the minster close itself, this was the most prestigious trading address in the city, so Master William was clearly doing very well
Master William Snawsell rose to become an important man in the government of York. In 1459 he was a City Chamberlain, with financial responsibilities, and in 1464 he was Sheriff of York. It was around this time that he moved into the property now known as Barley Hall. The upward trajectory of his career was fixed, and in 1468 he was made Lord Mayor of York. Lord Mayors of York serve for a year, but it was one of the peculiarities of the office in medieval times that, although the Mayor himself is a lord only for a year, his wife gets to keep the title of Lady: the Mayor's a lord for a year and a day, but his lady's a lady for ever and aye. Presumably, this must have pleased Lady Joan...
After his year in office as mayor, William Snawsell continued to serve the city as an alderman for a further twenty-three years, and he is frequently referred to in the records of the city. Notably, on the accession of Richard III in 1483, he was one of the aldermen who undertook the gruelling ride to Middleham Castle to congratulate Richard's son and heir Edward. Certainly it would appear that like most of the leading men of York William was known to, and approved of, King Richard; once again, when the city council marked the news of Richard's death at Bosworth in 1485 "to the great heaviness of this city", William's name is near the head of the list of councillors. Nevertheless, he went on to serve loyally under King Henry VII before resigning as an alderman in 1492 on the grounds of ill health. He would have been well into his seventies.

33728 William Stevens - Rehoboth Plantation
THE FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IN AMERICA

The Pocomoke River rises in southern Delaware, forms a part of the eastern boundary of Somerset County, Maryland, and empties into Pocomoke Sound, an inlet of Chesapeake Bay. On the banks of this stream, not far from the mouth, Colonel William Stevens, a native of Buckinghamshire, England, located in 1665, taking out a patent on what he called the Rehoboth plantation, the name being chosen from Genesis 26:22. " And he called the name of it Rehoboth. And he said, For now the Lord hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in this land." When Somerset County was organized he was made Judge of the County Court. He also became a member of " His Lordship's Councill," and was one of the Deputy Lieutenants of the Province.

As the years passed many followed Colonel Stevens to Somerset County, in search of religious freedom. Scotch, Scotch-Irish, French, and Quakers were represented in the village that was known at first as Pocomoke Town, though later it was called Rehoboth. Many of these settlers were Presbyterians, who had lost their property through persecution.

In 1672 the Grand Jury, encouraged by Judge Stevens, asked Rev. Robert Maddux to preach at four points in the county. One of these points was the plantation house at Rehoboth. The next year George Fox, the Quaker, was in the community. He also preached in his famous " leather breeches " at Colonel Stevens' plantation, to a great congregation of several thousand whites and Indians. A Quaker monthly meeting followed.

The number of Presbyterians increased to such an extent that in 1680 Colonel Stevens asked the Presbytery of Laggan in Ireland for a godly minister to gather the band of exiles into a church. Francis Makemie was sent as a result. Soon Rehoboth Church was organized by him, as well as a number of other churches in the neighborhood. The exact date of the beginning of Rehoboth Church is uncertain, but it is probable that the first building was erected about 1683.

For some years Makemie travelled from place to place, preaching and organizing churches as he went, but from 1699 to 1708, except in 1704 and 1705, when he visited Europe, he lived in the neighborhood and preached at Rehoboth whenever he was at home.

When it became necessary to erect a new church building, he decided to have this on his own land, because of Maryland's intolerant laws. This building, which is still in use, dates from 1706, the year when its builder assisted in organizing the first Presbytery of the Presbyterian Church at Philadelphia.

Makemie's name will ever be connected with the struggle for religious liberty. He had a certificate from the court that permitted him to preach in the Province of Maryland, but he had many trying experiences in spite of this fact. His congregation groaned under the necessity of paying taxes to support the rectors of three neighboring parishes.

The greatest trial was not in Maryland, but in New York, where he spent a portion of 1706 and 1707. His experiences there should be familiar to all who are interested in the struggle for religious liberty in America.

The story is told in a curious document written by Makemie himself, which was printed in New York in 1707, under the title " A Particular Narrative of the Imprisonment of two Non-Conformist Ministers; and Prosecution & Tryal of one of them, for Preaching one Sermon in the city of New-York. By a Learner of Law and Lover of Liberty."

The warrant for the arrest of the " criminal " was addressed to Thomas Cordale, Esqr., High-Sheriff of Queens County on Long-Island, or his Deputy, and was signed by Lord Cornbury. It read :

" Whereas I am informed, that one Mackennan, and one Hampton, two Presbyterian Preachers, who lately came to this City, have taken upon them to Preach in a Private House, without having obtained My Licence for so doing, which is directly contrary to the known Laws of England, and being likewise informed, that they are gone into Long-Island, with intent there to spread their Pernicious Doctrines and Principles, to the great disturbance of the Order by Law established by the Government of this province. You are therefore hereby Required and Commanded, to take into your Custody the Bodies of the said Mackennan and Hampton, and then to bring them with all convenient speed before me, at Fort-Anne, in New-York."

When brought before Lord Cornbury, Makemie said : " We have Liberty from an Act of Parliament, made the first year of the Reign of King William and Queen Mary, which gave us Liberty, with which Law we have complied."

But Lord Cornbury replied : " No one shall Preach in my Government without my Licence. . . . That Law does not extend to the American Plantations, but only to England. . . I know, for I was at Making there-of. . . . That Act of Parliament was made against Strowling Preachers, and you are such, and shall not Preach in my Government."

Makemie again challenged Lord Cornbury to show " any Pernicious Doctrine in the Confession of Faith of the Presbyterian Church." Later he refused to give " Bail and Security to Preach no more."

" Then you must go to Gaol," his Lordship said.

On January 23 another warrant was given to the High Sheriff of New York. He was told " to safely keep till further orders " the prisoners committed to him.

From the prison Makemie sent a petition asking to know the charge, and demanding a speedy trial. Later the prisoner was released on habeas corpus proceedings.

At the trial, where Makemie conducted his own de-fence, he read Chapter 23 of the Westminster Confession of Faith, as a complete reply to the charge that he believed what incited the people to disregard the authority of the king.

The jury brought in a verdict of " not guilty," but Makemie was obliged to pay the costs, including the fees of the Court Prosecutor, which amounted to twelve pounds. The total cost of the trial, including the expense of a trip from his home in Maryland, made necessary by a recess in the trial, was more than eighty pounds.

A few months later Makemie died. It was felt by those who knew him that the trying experiences at New York hastened his end.

He had not lived in vain. His struggles for religious liberty were to bear rich fruit before many years.

Henry van Dyke wrote a sonnet to the memory of Francis Makemie, which was read on May 14, 1908, when the monument to the memory of the pioneer was unveiled :

"To thee, plain hero of a rugged race,
We bring a meed of praise too long delayed!
Thy fearless word and faithful work have made
Of God's Republic a firmer resting-place
In this New World : for thou hast preached the grace
And power of Christ in many a forest glade,
Teaching the truth that leaves men unafraid
Of frowning tyranny or death's dark face.

" Oh, who can tell how much we owe to thee,
Makemie, and to labor such as thine,
For all that makes America the shrine
Of faith untrammelled and of conscience free?
Stand here, grey stone, and consecrate the sod
Where rests this brave Scotch-Irish man of God."

__
On a recent research trip to Maryland and Virginia I had the opportunity to stand in a place that
that is important in the history of my family. The Rehoboth plantation was established in the mid 17 century on the Eastern Shore of Maryland just north of the border with Virginia. I have ancestors who were part of a Puritan community which traveled by boat on Sundays from their Virginia plantations to worship at Rehoboth. Services were held in the home of the owner of the plantation, a Puritan named William Stevens. Stevens named his plantation for an incident from the story of Isaac in Genesis 26. Isaac is a refuge in the land of the Philistines and is encountering opposition when he digs the wells needed to sustain his family and his animals. Finally he digs a well at a place where no one protests and he names it Rehoboth saying, "Now the Lord has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the
land (Genesis 26:22)." Stevens named his plantation Rehoboth because he saw it as the place where
religious dissenters in Maryland and Virginia could find room to worship God.
It was this worshiping community at Rehoboth plantation that wrote to Presbyteries in Ireland
asking for a minister. In 1683 Francis Makemie answered that call and came to Rehoboth plantation to live in William Stevens' home and preach to the people who worshiped there. During the next 25 years Makemie traveled all through the colonies pursuing business and church activities. But Rehoboth was the one place to which he always returned. The worshiping community there had welcomed him to America and had remained his solid rock of support and a primary source of spiritual identity
After William Stevens' death the worshiping community of Rehoboth did not have a permanent building in which to gather. The people met in private homes and may have had a temporary building for a short time. In the early 1700s Makemie led an effort to build a permanent church at Rehoboth. At this time there was less religious freedom in Maryland and permission to build a new church had to be secured from the Bishop of London. When the Bishop did not respond, Makemie took matters in his own hands. By this time Makemie had become a wealthy merchant. So he bought the land and personally financed the building of the church using the best English bricks that could be secured in 1706.
The building stands today and is a beautifully maintained worship space called the Rehoboth Presbyterian Church. It is an expression of the gratitude of a man who was rooted in faith. Makemie understood how much he owed to the community which had made room for him in that place (I. Marshall Page, The Life Story of Rev. Francis Makemie, pages 138­142).
We stand on that kind of solid ground. By God's grace, we, too, can sink deep roots of gratitude and faith.

33729 William Stevens Howard's will 1733: To daughter Rachel wife of Mathew COMPTON personalty. Residue of estate after wife's thirds are deducted, to four young children: viz. William, Elizabeth, Susannah, & Sarah. Test. Benjamin DOUGLASS, Sr. Philip JENKINS, Benjamin DOUGLAS Jr. [L21f55].

The mother of Rachel Howard needs more investigation. William Stevens' brother Thomas was married to an Elizabeth Douglass. William Stevens' first wife was apparently Elizabeth Douglass. The Elizabeth who was married to Thomas was a widow d was married to Thomas in 1714, so she apparently is not one and the same with the Elizabeth Douglass who was the first wife of William Stevens Howard. Sarah Briscoe's first husband died in 1717, but it's possible they had divorced rather than she being widowed. In William Stevens will he left legacy to 4 young children and Rachel, wife of Mathew Compton. Since Rachel was already married and he had 4 young children, assumption is that Rachel was the child of his first wife.

33731 William Stewart, 1st Earl of Blessington (7 April 1709 ? 14 August 1769)[1] was an Anglo-Irish peer and member of the House of Lords, styled The Honourable William Stewart until 1728 and known as The Viscount Mountjoy from 1728 to 1745.

Stewart was the son of William Stewart, 2nd Viscount Mountjoy and Anne Boyle. He married Eleanor Fitzgerald, daughter of Robert Fitzgerald on 10 January 1733. They had two children, William Stewart and Lionel Robert, both of whom died before their father.

He succeeded his father as Viscount Mountjoy on 10 January 1727. He was Grand Master of the Freemasons (in Ireland) between 1738 and 1740. He was created Earl of Blessington on 7 December 1745, his mother having been sister and sole heiress of Charles, 2nd and last Viscount Blesington. He was made Governor of County Tyrone and in 1748, was sworn of the Privy Council of Ireland.

On his death in London on 14 August 1769 he was buried at Silchester in Hampshire. His peerages became extinct, but his baronetcy was inherited by a distant cousin, Sir Annesley Stewart.

33734 William Stone, son of Matthew and Rachel (Smoot) Stone, was born at "Poynton Manor", Charles County, Maryland. Although he was a minor in 1748, at the time his father negotiated his will, he was of sufficient age in 1759 to be made the executor of his mother's estate. During the Revolutionary War he served as a private in the Charles County militia under Captain Stinnett (Unpublished Maryland Records, vol. 2, p. 279). In 1783 he was a tax payer in Upper Durham Hundred.

33735 William Strother Jones, the only son of Gabriel Jones, was born March 21, 1756. In the catalogue of students of William and Mary College we find the name of Strother Jones, son of Gabriel Jones, of Augusta, in 1767. His wife was Fanny Thornton, of Fredericksburg, who died about the year 1790. He was a captain in the Continental army during the Revolution, and subsequently a colonel of militia. It
is said that he was an accomplished gentleman, but inherited his father's temper. At one time during the war he was ordered under arrest for " beating a sentry while on post and a corporal on guard."

William Strother Jones, Jr., was the only son of the former. He was born October 7, 1783, lived in Frederick county, married, first Ann Maria Marshall, a niece of Chief-Justice Marshall, and, second, Ann Cary Randolph, and died July 31, 1845.

The children of the last-named William Strother Jones were, Mrs. F. L. Barton, of Winchester ; Wm. Strother Jones, now of New York; Captain James F. Jones, who was murdered in 1866 ; Francis B. Jones,Lieutenant-Colonel of the Second Virginia regiment, who was killed at Malvern Hill ; and R. B. Jones.

33741 William Tennent was born in County Antrim and served as an apprentice with John Campbell, a Belfast merchant and banker. He joined the Belfast Chamber of Commerce in 1783, and was junior manager in the New Sugar House in Waring Street. He eventually became a partner in this business, and he held partnerships in the distilling firm of John Porter & Co. and the Belfast Insurance Co.. He was co-founder, in 1809, of the Commercial Bank, and he worked in the bank until it became Belfast Banking Co. in 1827. He was on the Board of the Spring Water Commissioners and the Belfast Banking Company, and was manager of the Belfast Academical Institution and Vice-President of the Chamber of Commerce. After the rebellion of 1798, he was arrested on suspicion of belonging to the United Irishmen, and imprisoned in Scotland for two years. He returned to Belfast and in 1814, purchased the village and demesne of Tempo, County Fermanagh. He died in the cholera epidemic.

He had only one legitimate child, but was said that have had many nmore illegitimately.

The United Irishmen were a body of men of all creeds - although predominately Ulster Presbyterians - who came together in a political organisation in the early 1790s. Inspired by the success of the French Revolution, they were a radical group that demanded sweeping political change. Initially reformist in their intentions, government repression forced them underground and they became increasingly revolutionary. Many of the United Irish leaders even contemplated using French military assistance to achieve full independence for Ireland. Ultimately, their unsuccessful rebellion of 1798 was utopian and failed to gauge the extent of sectarian division in late-eighteenth-century Ireland: in some areas in the south, the banner of revolution became a guise for the settling of age-old religious resentments.

33742 William Thompson acquired land 22 Sept. 1739 and part of it was transferred to his son William, Jr., 3 July 1749. This could have been his early inheritance as he was not mentioned in his father's will. Thompson, Capt William Jr. (I52850)
 
33743 William Thorn married Sarah (Unknown) circa 1747 at Prince William County, Virginia. William Thorn died in 1761 at Prince William County, Virginia. On 8 April 1763 "RENO &c. agt. THORN. John RENO &c Complainants agt. John THORN, Defendant. In Chancery. The Complainants filed their Bill and on the motion of the Deft. Time is given him untill next Court to answer the same." [From abstract by Ruth and Sam Sparacio]

This appears to be a chancery (equity) suit to determine shares of an estate, apparently the estate of William THORN. We are not necessarily talking about land here. There could very well be personal property (slaves, livestock, household goods, financial paper) that would need to be divided among all William THORN's children. The RENOs are suing the heir-at-law to recover their share. Primogeniture determines that land would descend to the eldest son (the heir at law), but personal property should be divided equally among all the decedent's children, male and female. This suit certainly suggests that Susannah RENO had a claim on that estate.

33746 WILLIAM THORN:
William Thorn was born circa 1685 Virginia or England. He married Mary Peck, daughter of Possibly father Robert Peck and Possibly mother of Mary Margaret (Unknown), before 17 November 1719; or 1724 per message posted to the Prince William County board by Laura Pack. Not verified.

On 1 April 1724 Tenders of Tobacco in Overwharton Parish

William Thorne appears on the 1724 list of Tobacco Tenders of Overwharton Parish, Stafford Co., VA with Daniel Orea age 14 and John Orea age 11, tending 16,000 plants. Lewis Renoe is three names away with 21,594 plants.

On 20 May 1725 WILLIAM THORN was granted 897 acres on Occoquan Run This was in partnership with Henry Filkin. Both were residents of Stafford Co. THORN was to have 445 acres on Lick Branch. But the grant was cancelled and the whole tract given to WILLIAM THORN with HENRY FILKIN'S consent. HENRY FILKIN was granted land in this area as early as 1714. Other referances show WILLIAM THORN -Northern Neck Grants Book B, 1726-1729 p. 221. (Reel 290). It states the land was regranted to William Thorn.

On 3 June 1729 WILLIAM THORN of Stafford Co Va was granted 897 Acres on Occaquan Run & Lick Branch of said Run. This deed for land granted HENRY FILKIN (Book A,folio 152)
Notes: Refer to JOHN THORN, son, for notes on the sale of this land on Oct 22 1806.

----------------------

There was an old family story passed down from my line of Thorns . It is as follows:
My 4th Great Grandfather William Thorn born about 1685-93 was a young boy about 5-7 years old. He and a sister were down by a river when Indians came up in canoes and kidnapped them. They do not know what happened to their family. They were raised by the Indians. I started this genealogy search to try and find the real answer about my G Grandfather and disprove this old family story passed down. So far, I have not found any evidence of any of this THORN family being kidnapped by the indians. However, DNA testing that I have done as well as another cousin does not link us to any other known Thorn family in America. We have matched a Wm. McAdams . Wm McAdams also has found that he doesn't match any other McAdams. Could this mean that this story may be true? Very possibly. With the advancement of DNA testing for genetic relations we may some day know the answer. William Thorn of Prince William Co Va was William Sanford Thorn's grandfather.

William Thorn's beginnings remains a mystery as we do not know who his parents were or where he actually was born. All we know is that he appeared in Stafford/Prince William Co Va abt 1718 - whether born there or arrived there we do not know. In 1718-19 he married Mary Orear the widow of John Orear. Of this union was born one child Susannah Thorn Nov 17 1719. The first record of William in Prince William Co is 1724 on the Tobacco Tithable list along with his step-sons called orphans -Daniel and John Orear paying tax on 16,000 plants. That seems a sizable amount of tobacco . He acquired 897 acres of land in 1725 which might have been from his own wealth or from the wealth he aquired in his marriage to widow Orear. He raised the Orear boys and seemed to be fondly thought of by them as Daniel named him as executor of his estate at his death. William and Mary raised the family and saw the marriage of their daughter Susannah to John Reno . Mary must have died around 1744 as William married Sarah Carter abt 1744-48 in Prince William CO. Sarah at their marriage had a son Elijah Muse which no records indicate if he was born to Sarah from a marriage to a Muse or possibly born out of wedlock. Sarah then married a Carter (some have given him the name of William Carter but no records have been found as proof). Of her marriage to Mr Carter Sarah had 6 children, George,Richard, Elizabeth,Barbara, Jemimah and Frances. So again William adds more stepchildren to his family. William and Sarah had only one child John Thorn . John is the only male heir of William Thorn. Records show that after his death Susannah and her husband John Reno brought chancery suit against John for property of William Thorn. So we see Susannah and John as half brother and sister and the only known biological children of William Thorn. In 1761 William Thorn succumbed to death leaving young John as his heir . John being under age was awarded to his mother Sarah as well as step sister Frances Carter by the courts. Sarah continued to raise her large family and protected her son John's estate . She did remarry after William's death but divorced . I speculate she was protecting John's estate from her new husband . In that time period when a woman married her land and possessions became porperty of her husband. John was named as the executor of Sarah's will and also heir to the estate upon her death.

33757 William was born circa 1609[2]. His birth year is estimated from the fact that he was aged 26 at time of his migration in 1635.
He and his family sailed from London, Middlesex, England to Ipswich, Essex co., MA aboard the Planter in 1635 as part of the wholesale migration of the Tuttle family to New England[2,4]. This family group also brought over his niece Marie Bill, aged 11

the Planter, Nicholas Travice, master, bound from London to New England. The ship embarked 22 March - 11 April 1635.

33760 William was probably born in the early 1600's in County Clare, Ireland, and lived during a time of great religious and political turmoil. When much of
England's ruling class followed the Crown in the break with the Pope in Rome, the growth of Pruitanism again split the nation which culminated in the English Civil War. This war began in 1642 and ended in 1651 with the establishment of the Commonwealth by Oliver Cromwell, and the beheading of King Charles I. The war was also referred to as the "Pruitan Revolution" because so many of the King's opponents belonged to the Pruitan Party of the Church of England.

This brief sketch of English History is related only because of the impact it had on our Bryan family, since William Smith Bryan supported the losing side. The defeat of the King resulted in his exile to Virginia in 1650 "as a rebellious subject." Thus the family of William Smith Bryan, including eleven sons and three daughters along with a shipload of chattels, landed in Gloucester County, Virginia, on the York River across from present day Yorktown.

We presume that William Smith and wife Catherine lived here for the remainder of their lies, and that most of their children melted into the growing Colonial society. The exception was their oldes son, Francis III, who returned to Ireland. 		Bryan, William Smith (I10955)
 
33761 William was proficient in mathematics, and was the first to teach in the old school at Locktown, serving seven years. He was a silversmith and for years the postmaster at Baptistown, a position he held until his death. He lived in the house occupied in 1893 by James P. Gary. On 08 Sep 1841 the possessioms of his home in Baptistown were sold at public vendue by Ann Heath, his widow and administratrix of his estate. Lavinia Lair in Kingwood Township lived there until her death. Heath, William (I11311)
 
33762 William was the son of William and Hannah "Yates" Shelton. He married Rebecca Hogg who lived across the state line in Caswell Co NC. Their first 7 children were born in VA. They moved to Christian Co KY in 1803. Five of his sons fought in the War of 1812 in KY militia. His son William (III) was killed in the war. His sons Joseph and Abraham moved to IL shortly after the war. William II sold his KY property in 1856 and moved to IL to be near his sons. At his death he was over 100 years old!

33763 William was the son of William Cooley and his wife, Mary Davis.
William Cooley enlisted in the Confederate States Army 22 Sept 1861 in Marion Co., Mississippi into Captain G. Nixon's Company H, 27th Regiment of Mississippi.
William was described as Fair Complexion, Blue Eyes, Light Hair, 5', 10" Tall. Occupation: Farmer. William never married.
William was given a "Sick Furlough" from 25 Jan 1862 to 15 Feb 1862.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Notes T ext: William and Elizabeth (Gardner) and Mary (Ellzey) West By Jim Bish

William4 West (John3, John2, John1) was born about 1708 in Fairfax County, Virginia (then Stafford County, Virginia), and died in 1769 in Loudoun County, Virginia.

It is thought that William West was a son of John and Mary (Harris) West, and brother of Hugh West, from Alexandria, and John and Thomas West from Fairfax County, Virginia.

It could also be that William West was the son of Joseph West, brother of Thomas West and first cousin of Col. John West of Fairfax County, Virginia. No surviving will has been found for John West, presumed father of Hugh, John, William, and Thomas West or Joseph West. If a will existed, it would more definitively resolve this problem.

Existing evidence shows that Hugh West served Fairfax County between 1752 and 1754 as a member of the House of Burgesses in Williamsburg, Virginia. Fairfax Harrison, writing in 1924 in his Landmarks of Old Prince William, on page 139 writes, "We assume that the William West of 'West's Ordinary' at the head of the Bull Run Mountains was a brother of Hugh. The persuasive evidence is that Parson William West, son of Hugh, was recorded in 1749 as William West, Jr., while Charles West, son of William of 'West Ordinary,' conveyed to Washington in 1772 a portion of the West lands included in the 'Harrison Patent' of 1706." This Harrison Patent was land patented by the grandfather of Hugh West and probably also that of William.

John T. Phillips writes in his work, The Historian's Guide to Loudoun County, Virginia, "William West's appointment in 1761 to the office of Loudoun County Sheriff established a high water mark in the ascendancy of the West Family in the Potomac piedmont. At that point in time, William West's brother John West was representing Fairfax County in the House of Burgesses, one nephew, George West, who married the niece of Leesburg founder, Nicholas Minor, was the County Surveyor for both Loudoun and Fairfax, while another nephew, Hugh West [Junr.], a former Virginia Burgess, was also serving as the Deputy King's Attorney (prosecutor) for Loudoun and Fairfax.

William, being a younger son of John did not inherit any of the more valuable land holdings near Alexandria of his older brothers, but was able to obtain a few land holdings in Fairfax County, Virginia and later parts that became Loudoun County, Virginia.

Reverend William West, son of Hugh West is listed in Fairfax County records, as William Jr. in 1749. This was a time that William West was quite active in Fairfax County affairs. Hugh West's other son, John, is listed as John Jr. in this same document and we do have better proof for the existence of Hugh's brother John, taken from their grandfather's will. It makes logical sense when Hugh's son, William, is listed as William Jr., that the court wanted to distinguish him from his uncle, the elder William. William became a surveyor, like others in his family. This was a valuable occupation at that time as it allowed one to find some of the most prized land on the frontier. It is probably in this endeavor that he located the land at which he later owned and operated his "Ordinary." [Harrison, Landmarks p. 516].

William's name does appear in Fairfax County records as a surveyor during this era. It seems that William probably had at least four sons, William, Thomas, John, and Charles and two daughters, Elizabeth and Anne, all born between 1730 and 1745.

William West married Elizabeth Gardner in 1741, after having lived with her for almost ten years. Elizabeth is thought to have been the daughter of Sylvester and Mary Gardner, whom William later has land transaction with in Fairfax County, Virginia. During that time William and Elizabeth had at least five of their oldest children.

In Loudoun County Deed Book U, 1792-1793, pages 315-316 in a deposition from a Mary Gardner age sixty, she states, "that she was a near neighbor to Mr. William West, Father to the Complainant, and was very conversant in the Family and was informed as well by said William West as by Elizabeth Gardner that they were not intermarried to each other until about the year One thousand seven hundred and Forty one or two which was also some short time before the birth of Ann West, and about two or three years before the birth of Charles West their son. And this deponent further saith that William West, father of Deft. Cato West and John West, the other defendant with sundry other Children of said Elizabeth Gardner were born before the solemnization of the said marriage between William West and Elizabeth."
It appears that the Mary Gardner that gave this deposition was a sister or sister-in-law to Elizabeth Gardner whom eventually married William West.

On Page 316-317 of the same Deed Book there is another deposition, this one by an Ann Botts aged 58 years. She states, "that she was a near neighbor to Mr. William West, father of the Complainant, Charles West, for many years before the Marriage of said William West to Elizabeth Gardner and was very conversant in the Family and was frequently informed by said William and Elizabeth and it was also generally reported in the neighborhood that they never intermarried until about the year one thousand seven hundred and forty one or forty two. And that the deponent futher saith she very well remembers that William West, Father to the Defendant Cato and John West, the other Deft, was born considerable time before the Marriage between said William and Elizabeth and that the Complainant, Charles West was the first born son after the Marriage aforesaid." She also stated, "that it was to make a provision for her three children, Elizabeth, William, and John, for if he (William Sr.) should die without Will they would get no part of her estate as they were not born in Wedlock and further said not.

From this information, it is clear that William West had children by and eventually married Elizabeth Gardner. Elizabeth must have died by the 1760s as in 1769, by the time William West died he was definitely married to Mary Ellzey.

Mary Ellzey's brother, William Ellzey has many legal handlings of this estate. Also, in Lewis Ellzey's Will it mentions his daughter, Mary West, I believe.

There is quite a lot of informaton that connects this. There is no mention of Thomas West as being a son of William and Elizabeth, but he must have been their son also. Thomas is listed as a son of William's in Williams will. From the sounds of it, Thomas may have been born after Charles West. Who knows. This is somewhat of a mystery and somewhat unusual for the times. I bet that there was a lot of gossip concerning this couple.

In April 1740, William began to acquire land in the vicinity near Bull Run Mountain and established a residence there in northwestern Prince William County, Virginia [NN E: 146 and 147]. This land became part of Fairfax County in 1742 and by 1750 had become part of Loudoun County, Virginia.

William voted at the Prince William County election of 1741 [Boogher, p. 117].

In 1743 he was one of the processioners of Truro vestry in the district 'between Little River and Walnut Cabin Branch'. He is listed with his future father-in-law Lewis Ellzey as a Free Holders and Voters in Fairfax County in 1748. That same year, George Washington records, 'We did get over Wms. Gap that night and as low as Wm. West in Fairfax County, 18 miles from the top of the Ridge' [Harrison, Landmarks p. 495, and Writings of Washington, John Fitzpatrick, editor, Volume 1, p. 12].

William purchased from his wife's parents, Sylvester Garner and his wife, Mary almost 170 acres of NN C:33 and #198 of original land grants to Andrew Snarr on January 29, 1750. This land adjoined land that was owned by William Ellzey, William West's future brother-in-law, and Lewis Ellzey, William's future father-in-law. It appears that William West never lived there as he lived near Bull Run Mountain, but it seems that his assumed nephew, Thomas West did live there where Absalom Reid and James Edwards were the closest neighbors to this land in the 1750s-1760s. It seems very likely that William West's nephew, Thomas, lived there, on Williams land as Thomas and Sarah (Trammell) West children intermarried with three of the children of Absalom Reid while another of Thomas and Sarah West's sons, John West, married Eleanor Edwards.

Eleanor Edwards was the daughter of James Edwards, whom also lived on land adjoining this William West land. This land eventually transfers to Charles West daughter, and granddaughter of William by the late 1780s. It appears that land transferred after the death of William West wife's death, probably in the late 1780s.

By this time, her known sons, Thomas and Charles were dead so the land was given to a daughter of Charles. This may have been because she enjoyed Elizabeth and Elizabeth was probably caring for her. It also might have been because Thomas children at that time were already planning to head west to the Ohio frontier. Elizabeth West then sells it to William Simpson on June 16, 1790.

William Simpson was the brother of Absalom Reid wife, whose maiden name was Sarah Simpson. At Fairfax Court on June 18, 1754 William West had license to keep ordinary 'at his house.' This license was renewed to him by Loudoun in 1758 and 1762 specifying the location as the 'Fruit Hill Farm". He again is listed as a Free Holders and Voter in Fairfax County in 1755, copied from the papers of George Washington. In this election he ran as a Fairfax County Justice against his brother-in-law, William Ellzey and George William Fairfax. Washington's papers list the results.

Captain William West wins with 252 votes, Col. Fairfax is second with 222 votes, and William Ellzey is third with 221 votes. He is probably referred to as Colonel as a result of giving some service during the conflict with the French what later is referred to as the "French and Indian War." Some of this service is later documented in Hening's Statutes at Large stating he providing necessaries for the troops in March 1756.

Among the troops that he provided aid which were those organized by his father-in-law, Captain Lewis Ellzey. William's son, Thomas West is listed as a trooper for that same Fairfax County militia. In 1756, Lord Fairfax started from Greenway Court to Belvior, travelling to Williams' Gap. The next day he wrote, 'I was yesterday down at Mr. West's on my way to Belvoir, but was called back by a false alarm of old Sharpe's, the Governor of Maryland, as to hostile Indians in the valley.

Later in the same year, West provided provisions for the Fairfax militia on a march to the Valley, via Williams' gap. West Ordinary, as it was usually called, was at the junction of the Colchester Road with the Carolina road above Bull Run just east of the head of the Bull Run range. It is in Loudoun, only a short distance southeast of the ford of Little River, where the village of Aldie is located, and south of the Little River Turnpike. [Loudon Times newspaper, December 20, 1916].

West's Ordinary, kept successively for three generations by William, Charles, and Thomas West, and after the Revolution known as Lacys, is a landmark still standing at the head of the Bull Run Mountains, near the modern village of Aldie, in what was Fairfax County in 1748, but 10 years later became Loudoun. It is indicated by name on the 1755 edition of the Fry and Jefferson map, as well as on the Thomas Jefferson map of 1787 [Writings of Washington, John Fitzpatrick, editor, Volume 1, 193, p. 12].

William West must have married Mary Ellzey, daughter of Lewis and Elizabeth (Travers) Ellzey, during the late 1750s. [Lewis Ellzey's will in Fairfax County December 1786]. It is thought that William West operated the Ordinary and then transferred it to his son Charles West. For a short time, either just after the death of William or later, that other son Thomas operated the ordinary for a short period of time. Instead of being kept by three successive generations of West, the evidence should better conclude that three consecutive West covering two generations operated the ordinary. The first generation is William, with his son's Charles and Thomas the second generation. William was one of the of the trustees to establish the town of Leesburg, Virginia in 1758 [Hening, vii, p. 236] and subsequently was included in the Loudoun commission of the peace [Hening, vii, p. 327].

In 1765, the license was renewed by the Loudoun County Court to Charles West, who probably was the eldest son of William West. William West died in 1769 and his will disposes his property listing his children and grandchildren. (Will of William West Loudoun County, VA 1769 Will Book A, pg 226-229).

Children of William West and Elizabeth Gardner include:
1. William5 (Jr.), West, was born about 1734 in Fairfax County (Then Prince William County, Virginia). He died in Loudon County, Virginia in 1763.

2. Thomas5 West, was born about 1735 in Fairfax County, Virginia (then Prince William County, Virginia). He died in Loudoun County, Virginia in 1776.

3. John5 West, was born about 1739 in Fairfax County, Virginia (then Prince William County, Virginia). He died before 1786 in Loudoun County, Virginia.

4. Elizabeth5 West, was born about 1740 in Fairfax County, Virginia (then Prince William County, Virginia). She probably died in Loudoun County, Virginia.

5. Ann5 West, was born about 1741 in Fairfax County, Virginia. She married Craven Peyton in Loudoun County, Virginia and probably died in Loudoun County, Virginia.

6. Charles5 West, was born about 1745 in Fairfax County, Virginia. He married Anne Brown in Fairfax County, Virginia and died in 1787 at Loudoun County, Virginia.

William Sparks could have been born early as 1785 and maybe as late as 1790 in North Carolina . William married some where around 1810 in Franklin County, Tennessee. As we are not sure when he and his father, Joseph and the rest of the family moved from Surry County, North Carolina to Franklin County, Tennessee.
William died some where in the late 1830 or the early 1840. The 1830 census told us that he had eight children and five were born in Tennessee and three in Alabama. The ones we have record of remain together after their father died. The s died at a young age or were never put on any record we have found. I have gone through every record that I have been able to find and have gone through all of the material that has came out in the Sparks Quarterly that is put out by Paul Sparks in Louisville, Kentucky. The only record that we found tied the four brothers together. We have hoped that one of the relatives of the other brother and sisters would come up with the answers to the other. In 1820 census there was only two families living in Tennessee, one was William Sparks and the other was Samuel Sparks. The Sparks's Quarterly has Samuel and his family also. This made it easer to identify each family. When it came to the daughter they are lost for ever. With no will there is no way to find out who they may have married. Only hope is that some ones Great, great, Grandmother was a sister to the brothers and then let it be know. We know that William's first five children were born in Tennessee. What makes it bad or sad that in so many marriages for what ever reason there is no record of the wife, not even the name. But I guess we should be thankful that we have as many records as we do. In so many cases record were devastated by fire,war, age and just wasn't taken care of were destroyed. William moved his family to neighboring Jackson County, Alabama, where he was listed as the head of his family on the 1830 census. An analysis of enumerations of his household on the 1820 and 1830 census that he had eight children, five sons and three daughters. The only record that we could find were of the four sons that moved west, such as John Sidney born near Gatlenburg, Tennessee in 1811 Married Malinda Jones, had two children William in 1834 and Julia Ann in 1836 born in Tennessee, John and family was in Jefferson County, Texas in 1838.
Daniel was born 1816 in Tennessee, and we believe that he made this trip with his older brother. He married Julia Justice in 1842 in Louisiana, where he remained the rest of his life. Solomon born 1819 in Tennessee - Married Martha Smith inh Carolina on 3/23/1841. They had two children in Tennessee, Lucy Ann 1842 and John L. 1844. Then he started his move, James Edwin born 1847 in Louisiana, and then Mary Susan born 1848 in Jefferson County, Texas.
Jacob E. was born 1828 in Alabama and believed he made the trip with Solomon in 1847 or before. he remained in Louisiana and in and out of Texas till around 1853 when he married Nancy Johnson and moved to Colorado County, Texas. He lived thill his death in 1871.
If any of the other children made these moved there have been know record to indicate such.

See THE SPARKS QUARTERLY, June 1987, Whole No. 138, pg. 3060:

"William Sparks, probable son of Joseph Sparks, was born between 1780 and 1790. When the 1820 census was taken of Franklin County, Tennessee, he and his wife had five children living in their household, all born between 1810 and 1820. Sometime between 1820 and 1830, William Sparks moved his family to neighboring Jackson County, Alabama, where he was listed as the head of his family on the 1830 census. An analysis of thee numerations of his household on the 1820 and 1830 censuses suggests that he probably had eight children, five sons and three daughters. We have no further record of William Sparks."

"William Sparks, head of the above enumerated household, [referring tothe 1820 census of Franklin County, Tennessee] was born between 1780 and1790 and was probably a son of Joseph Sparks (365), the eldest son ofSolomon (356) and Sarah Sparks, who had moved from Frederick County,Maryland, to North Carolina about 1755. Joseph was born probably about1751 in Maryland. He was listed on the 1790 and 1800 censuses of SurryCounty, North Carolina, but by 1820 he was in Franklin County,Tennessee. (He may have been there earlier but we have found no recordof him. The 1800 and 1810 censuses of Tennessee have been destroyed.)Joseph Sparks apparently had six sons: John, Abel, William, George,Solomon, and Jonathan. He probably died between 1820 and 1830 inFranklin County, Tennessee. (See pages 3057-3060 of the June 1987 issue of the QUARTERLY, Whole No. 138, for a more detailed sketch of Joseph Sparks and his family.)


"Sometime between 1820 and 1830, William Sparks, probably son of Joseph, moved his family to Jackson County, Alabama. It probably was not much of a move, for Franklin County, Tennessee (formed in 1807) and Jackson County, Alabama (formed in 1819) have a common boundary about twenty-five miles long. When the 1830 census was taken of Jackson County,the family of William Sparks consisted of 1 male, born 1825-30; 1 male,born 1820-25; 2 males, born 1815-30; 1 female, born 1815-20; 1 femaleborn 1820-15; and 1 female born 1790-1800. Living nearby was JonathanSparks, born 1780-90, and his family. He was probably a brother ofWilliam Sparks.


"From these census records, it seems apparent that William Sparks was probably born about 1785 and that his wife was born about 1790. They were probably married about 1810, and they had eight children, five sonsand three daughters, all born between 1810 and 1830. We have no further information about this couple, they may have died before the 1840 censuswas taken.


"During the 1830s, the family of William Sparks apparently scattered leaving few, if any, records in either Franklin County, Tennessee, or inJackson County, Alabama. Son, John Sparks married, probably in Tennesseeabout 1834, and his first two children were born there, but by 1839 , hewas in Texas. Son, Solomon Sparks went to Hardeman County, Tennessee, where he married in 1841. His first two children were born in Tennessee before he, too, started southward. He stopped for a while in Louisiana where his third child was born about 1846, but by 1850, he was in Texas. Son, Daniel Sparks married about 1844, probably in Louisiana, and he was in Natchitoches Parish in 1850. Son Jacob Sparks was in Jefferson County, Texas, in 1850, but shortly afterwards he married and moved to Colorado County, Texas.


"We have no further information about William Sparks, nor have we learned the name of his wife. As can be readily seen, we have used agreat deal of conjecture in trying to identify his sons. In spite of conjecture, however, we feel that there are pieces of substantial evidence in the paragraphs written above. Perhaps some of our feelings come from the similarity of the given names, such as Solomon, Joseph, John, George, William, and Jacob. These are the same names that we find in the Maryland Sparkses and were carried to North Carolina. We believe that they were also carried across the mountains to Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, and on west."

33783 WILLIAMSON COUNTY, TN
Moore, William Clifton ?Bill?, age 78, of Brentwood, Tennessee, formerly of Houston, Texas, died May 28, 2012, Memorial Day, in Brentwood. For 14 years, he valiantly battled heart disease, cancer, and debilitating strokes. Born August 9, 1933, in Houston, he was the eldest son of Truman Thomas ?Denny? Moore and Mary Ethyl Wiggins Moore. A 1951 graduate of Tomball (Texas) High School, Bill attended Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas, for two years where he was a member of Phi Delta Theta fraternity, pitcher on the University baseball team, and a charter member of the Lettermen?s Association. He served two years in the United States Army during the Korean Conflict and then completed his Bachelor of Science degree at the University of Houston. During high school, his first summer employment was with his father?s T-T Construction Company. In 1958 he joined the Texas Highway Department (now TxDOT) in Houston as a project manager for five years and then served for several years as vice-president of Southern Inspection Services, Inc. He was involved in the construction of several of Houston?s skyscrapers and freeways. In 1980 Bill was recruited in Houston by Lone Star Industries (now Buzzi Unicem), relocated to Dallas, back to Houston, and finally in 1989 to Brentwood where he retired in 2000 as Regional Manager of Technical Services. While living in Houston, Bill served on the Civil Technology Advisory Board of Houston Community College and was a member of Houston Engineering and Scientific Society. In 1975 he was elected president of the Houston Chapter of American Concrete Institute and in 1978 served as local chairman of the National A.C.I. Convention when it was held in Houston. He was the first recipient of the chapter?s L. Blake Fentress Memorial Award in 1980 and was named an honorary chapter member when he transferred from Houston. Bill was elected a Fellow of American Concrete Institute (National) in 1988. For many years, he served on various National A.C.I. Committees and chaired the Hot Weather Concreting Committee. Additionally, he presented seminars before the World of Concrete, National A.C.I., Arizona A.C.I., Missouri Concrete Conference, and others. Bill is a former member of Memorial Church of Christ in Houston, where, in 1958, he married Wilma Lee Baldwin, high school sweetheart?the first wedding in the newly-established congregation. His passions were his family, reading, golf, and hunting. A reserved, private man of few words, laced with wry wit, he is the beloved father of his adored/adoring favorite son and favorite daughter. He is preceded in death by his parents and two younger brothers, Thomas Jerry Moore, Sr. and wife Patricia Bogan Moore and Robert Gene Moore. Survivors include his wife of 53 years, Wilma Baldwin Moore; son William Donalson Moore and wife Marissa Harris; and daughter Meredith Lee (Moore) Moore and husband Gary Moore. Also surviving are sisters-in-law Margaret Mount Moore and Elizabeth Ann Baldwin, as well as nieces, nephews, and extended family. The family expresses sincere appreciation to the residents and staff (nursing, dining, activity) of Somerfield Health Center at the Heritage in Brentwood and to Guardian Hospice (Susan Card, Holly Wells, Stephanie Nitti, and Scott Owings). In lieu of flowers, the family suggests a memorial donation in Bill?s name to Churches of Christ Disaster Relief Effort, 410 Allied Drive, Nashville, TN 37211-3304. A private service is planned at a later date.

wife Elizabeth A has recorded her age as 5 years older and born in Tennessee rather than Texas and states no children whereas wife Mary A in 1880 had 8 children. Elizabeth states m 64 years, whereas Mary A had three children by that time. Curious. But assuming same wife and just the usual census type discrepancies.
