<br />
<br />
Augustine Walker was the father of Elizabeth Walker Warren. She and her family were passengers on the Mayflower,. My tie to him is thru my husband. I like this man because he is proof that genealogy research is never really done. For many years, the father of Elizabeth was listed as unknown. Genealogist of all skill levels had researched all the Mayflower families and come up empty. Then in December 2002, Edward Davies found the missing piece of the puzzle. So when I hit those brick walls I can only hope that it won't take 300 plus years to break thru.<br />

Both my Dad and his sister have taken the test in the hopes we would find more Smith relative and finally make some advances on our family tree. I have found some new relatives from my aunt's test and some new information I will be sharing in the future. <br />
My dad's test was a Y-DNA test submitted ten years ago. This test strictly for father to son. Any match we get on that test is on Grandpa Garfield to William to Ben and so on. This test has connected us to Anderson Smith , born abt 1800 in Virginia and died 1890 in Scott Co., TN and to William Smith, birth unknown died 1761 in. Essex Co., VA.<br />
A bit of ancient history is that he was a haplogroup group J. The first J2-M172 haplogroup originated 25,000 years ago in West Asia and moved east during the Bronze age.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: "open sans" , sans-serif , "arial"; font-size: 12px;"> "Haplogroup J-M172 is found at highest frequencies in the northern Middle East, west of the Zagros Mountains in Iran, to the Mediterrean Sea. It later spread throughout central Asia and south into India. J-M172 is tightly associated with the expansion of agriculture, which began about 10,000 years ago. As with other populations with Mediterranean ancestry, this lineage is found at substantial frequencies within Jewish populations."</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: "open sans" , sans-serif , "arial"; font-size: 12px;"> </span><br />
Our ancient grandfathers did not go with this larger migration to the middle east , they pushed on to colder climate north and east most likely searching for better farm land.<br />
<br />
My Aunt has taken the more recent DNA test thru Ancestry. It is testing both parents background and we have made a few connections with it, though mostly on Grandma Meeks side. It is all very interesting.<br />
<br />
Here is her Ancestry report I have to say before you read this, the understanding of DNA is still evolving so changes could occur in ten more years that would add or remove information we have now.<br />
<br />
Europe 100%<br />
Great Britain 76%<br />
Europe West 11%<br />
Ireland 7%<br />
<br />
Scandinavia 2% (Low Confidence Region)<br />
Finland/Northwest Russia 2%<br />
Europe East 1%<br />
<br />
<br />
Other Regions Tested<br />
Iberian Peninsula 0%<br />
Italy/Greece 0%<br />

Other Regions Tested<br />
Melanesia 0%<br />

Once Settled in the Colonies this is how the family migration appears to have occurred<br />
Genetic Communities™<br />
Early Settlers of the Lower Midwest & Virginia Connection: Likely<br />
Early Settlers of Eastern Kentucky & Northeast Tennessee Connection: Possible<br />
Settlers of the Ozarks & Middle Tennessee Connection: Possible<br />
Early Settlers of South Central Appalachia Connection: Possible<br />

There is no record of land purchase so they were likely squatters, not uncommon in that time.<br />
Joseph Wallen was paid a bounty for a wolf's head in 1746 at about 11 years of age. <br />
Joseph married Milly Jones in about 1768. They had 6 daughters, Elizabeth, Nancy, Susannah, Mary, Morning, Rosamond, and one son name James Carr. <br />
(TL NOTE I believe the Carr is for a Longhunter name Wm Carr a “Negro man of color… about the ordinary height, little inclined to be corpulent, slightly round shouldered and weighed about 160 or 170 pounds and very strong for one of his age… Few men possessed a more high sense of honor and true bravery than he did. He was possessed of a very strong natural mind and always cheerful and the very life of any company he was in.” My theory no evidence.)<br />
<br />
It is presumed by most researchers that Elisha Wallen Jr. the Longhunter took his brothers with him on the hunts. <br />

Joseph Walling 1786 William Walling 1787<br />
Milly Walling (widow) 1794 Wm. Walling 1794<br />
(This would establish Milly as Joseph's widow and we certainly have other evidence to support that fact. It also brackets the year of 1792, when Joseph is said to have died.)<br />
<br />
From David Dolling Weddle’s Diary (written in 1881) "My grandfather, Joseph Walling, moved from Baltimore and settled in Grayson County, Virginia on the New River. There, my mother was born on the 22nd day of February, 1780-and when she was 12 years old, my grandfather moved down and settled on Clinch River which empties into big Tennessee, where Kingston now stands, some two hundred miles above said place-there my grandfather (Joseph Walling) built a fort and took a company of his settlement and his oldest son Thomas Walling, twelve in number over on to the three folks of the Cumberland River to the place now called Lot**, in the state of Kentucky. There him and his son and eight out of 12 others was killed by the Indians."<br />
(TL NOTE most say the Thomas killed was a nephew, Benge, <i>the half breed renegade</i>, was thought to be the leader of the Indians.)Random Genealogyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01603853768705001966noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1215659104555021665.post-49445535881382297692017-03-19T05:33:00.000-07:002017-03-19T05:33:59.396-07:00The Children of Benjamin Smith and Mahala Sweet- Eldest son, Henderson<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">

(Some spelling variations: Grear, Grier, Greer, Greyer)<br />
Legends say James was a son of Grierson of Capenoch. His birth was about 1627 so his immigration at the age of 47 would not be unreasonable, though one must question why he would come as an indentured servant.<br />
However, research by Richard Miller found a James Grierson of Capenoch buried on 23 January 1662 in Greyfriars Church, Edinburgh The Scottish Genealogical Society in Edinburgh seemingly confirms that the burial was of James Grier(son) of Capenoch who was an MD (Apothecary) and died unmarried in Edinburgh. <br />
(source http://peevishpen.blogspot.com/2015/03/genealogy-mysteries-in-maryland.html )<br />
Also <span style="background-color: white;">DNA evidence appears to indicate that our American branch of the Greer family does not match with the Greers and Griersons of Scotland.</span><br />
<br />
James ancestry will remain a mystery for now.<br />
<br />
We know nothing about James Greer before his first appearance as an indentured servant transported in the ship Batchelor of Bristol to America by Samuell Gibbons of Bristoll, 1674.<br />
<br />
<i>" Samuel Gibbons, who proved his right unto four thousand-five hundred acres of land due him for transporting ninety persons, herein mentioned into the Province to inhabit. Before me.....Charles Calvert.” </i><br />
Samuel next cashed in over a quarter of his acreage for cash.<br />
<br />
<i>"Know all men by these presents that I Robert Ridgely of St. Mary's City for a valuable consideration to me paid by Thomas Selby of Somerset County do Assign, Sell and make over unto the said Thomas all my right, Title and Interest of, in and to Twenty five Rights to Land to me due by assignment from Samuell Gibbons of Bristoll, merchant, due the said Samuell for Transporting Robert Hutchins, Robert Mackahee, Agnes Sincler, John Grey, Thomas Mercer, Anthony Winslow, William Winslow, James Winslow, John Miller, <b>James Grear,</b> John Lynsey, John Keane, John Macknamerry, Jeffery Mackvey, Mathew Shaw, John Bradshaw, John Tarneck, Alexander Wallis, Daniell Henry, John Mackelman, Robert Orr, Hugh Maynard, James Feilding, Andrew Agnew, and Daniell Macknele into this province to Inhabit. To have and to hold the Said five and Twenty Rights to Land to him the Said Thomas Selby, his heirs and Assigns forever, Witness my hand and Seale this Sixth of November 1674 Witnesses: John Blomfeild Robert Ridgely {Seale} </i><br />
<i>Robert Ellis" </i><br />
<br />
Presuming he served a seven year indenture contract, James would have been a free man for 6 years before his next appearance. Oddly no records seem to have been located for those years. James did marry Ann Taylor, daughter of Arthur Taylor and Margaret (Hill) Taylor, date unknown. On "June 6, 1687. To all Christian people, to whom these presents shall come ... I, Arthur Taylor, of Gunpowder River, in Baltimore County, Maryland, Planter, for and in consideration of natural love and affection which I have and do bear unto <b>James Grear and Ann, his wife</b>, as also for divers and other good reasons and considerations..." 75 acres... part "Arthur's Choice" on Bird Run (in Maryland) This is NOT Arthur's will, some believe it to be a wedding gift. This is 13 years after James arrived in British America.<br />
In 1688 James and Ann had a son named John. There is no will found on James but his name disappears at about this time. Often when a person dies without a will it was due to sudden illness or accident. (TL NOTE If he was the Grierson of Capenoch he would have been mid 60's and less likely to have failed to write a will.)<br />
<br />
Ann, James wife, is next found married to Lawrence Richardson. He was listed as " custodian for ye Orphans of <b>James Grear</b>" Much discussion about how many children Ann and James had, but it could have been just a misreading of the record. At the very least, no evidence of any adult children making a claim to the "Arthur's Choice" property, besides John, has been located.<br />
Ann Taylor Greer Richardson is believed to have had at least one child with Richardson named Thomas. b. about 1692.<br />
<br />
<i>About Ann's 2nd Husband, Lawrence Richardson</i><br />
<i>On the 19th of May, 1680, a small party of Indians attacked the house of Thomas Richardson at the head of Gunpowder River, but were put to flight by Richardson [Later Lt. Col .Thomas Richardson, Chief Ranger and Surveyor for County] and his brother Lawrence Richardson. </i><br />
<i>In 1693, Lawrence Richardson was named as a vestryman of old St. John's Parish in Baltimore County, Maryland.</i><br />
<br />
Ann was widowed again. She married a third time, now to Oliver Harriett. <br />

Researchers have claimed she was the daughter of Richard Holland and Winifred Pearse. Ann married Roger Bassett at St. Martin's Church on April 27,1623 in Dorking (now in Surrey county) England. They had at least one child, William Bassett baptized at the same church on May 30, 1624. Roger died when William was young. as we find that Ann has married Hugh Burt sometime between Oct 1628 and June 17, 1635, the date the Burt family registered for passage on the ship"Abigail". The Shipmaster Robert Blackwell (or Hackwell?), listed Hugh Burt, Mrs. Anne Burt, Edward Burt, and William Bassett on the passenger list and Hugh Burt Jr. was listed on July 1,1635.<br />
<br />
The Burt family settled at the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Hugh Burt Sr. was granted 60 acres in 1638 and was listed as "husbandman" meaning farmer. <br />
<br />
Ann Burt was a Quaker and that was not a popular religious choice. Researchers claim she was both a midwife and a talented healer. This may have been her first bit of trouble was when she was mentioned in Dec 1643 when "Auld Churchman of Lynn" was presented ( chastised?) for living without his wife for seven or eight years, and "for having the wife of Hugh Burt locked with him alone in his house". A few months later on 4 Aug 1644, Hugh Burt appraised the estate of this same Hugh Churchman, in whose will Burt's son Edward was bequeathed 10 shillings. (TL NOTE Could Ann have been there to care for the man while he was ill?)<br />
<br />
Hugh Burt died in 1661. In November 1669, there was a charge of witchcraft brought against "Goodwife Burt". Several people testified against her, yet there is no indication that the court made any decision on the matter. This was one of the first if not the first witchcraft charge in in Lynn,Massachusetts records<br />
<br />
"Bethiah Carter, aged 23 years, deposed that she heard Sarah Towsan say when she was a maid & lived with Goodwife Burt that the latter told the said Sarah if she could believe in her God she would cure her body and soul, but Goodwife Burt said she could not cure her own husband because he would not believe in her God, but her maid did and was cured. Since then the said Sarah has been sorely afflicted with sad fits 'Crying out and Rayling agaynst me sayin My father carryed me to boston but Carryed her to Lin too an auld wich'. Sarah told her further that she had seen the said Burt appear often at her bed's feet in the day and night."<br />
<br />
"Phillip Reade, Physician, aged about 45 years, deposed that he had been sent for several times to see Sara Townsan and her sister Carter, both being very ill. 'Sd Sara townsend being in a more sadder Condiccion he had noe oppertunyty to Examine her Condiccion but did playnly perceive there was no Naturall caus for such unnatural fits but being sent for the 4th time and finding her in a meat Capassity to Give information of her agreunac and Caus of her former fits she tould me the abovesd Burt had afflickted her and if ever she did Relate it to anyone she would afflict her wors one however after had a sadder fit than evar sha had afore: then I askt her who afflict her Now abd what the matter was she Replide with a great scrich she had tould me already and she did Now Suffer for it.' "<br />
<br />
"John Knight, aged about 47 years, deposed that he 'was goinge to fetch some things for his wife and he saw old goody burt coming out of the swamp and shee was in her smok sleeves and a blake hancacher and black cap on her head and hee looked upp and suddenly shee was gone out of sight and I looked aboute and could not see her, when I came into the house I found her in the same habit as I saw her and he said unto her did I not see you in the swamp even now and she said noe I was in the house and he tould her she was a light headed woman.' "<br />
<br />
"Maddelene Pearson, aged about 50 years, deposed that she heard Sarah Pearson say when her father had her down to Goodwife Burts to be cured of her sore that the first night she was there the said Burt put her to bed..... Burt said 'Sarah will you smokit and giving of the pipe she smokit', and Sarah fell into fits again and said Goodwife Burt brought the devil to torment her."<br />

Thomas Walling - court records Plymouth colony 1650<br />
"The fourth of Aprell, 1650. Tho Wallen, Richard Carle, Gorg Way, Katheren Warner, and Mary Mills were apprehended at Barnstable,<br />
in the jurisdiction of New Plym; and on the eight day of Aprell, aforsaid, they being examined before William Bradford, gent, Gouer,<br />

(TL NOTE apparently Winter Harbor is in present-day Maine I think commited to ward might be a little like colonial house arrest )<br />
Genealogical Dictionary of New Hampshire and Maine reveals a Thomas Warner whose wife Katheren went “with an eloping party from Winter Harbor to Barnstable.”<br />
The Early Records of the Town of Providence--1662/63<br />
-For asmuch as Thomas Walling, formerly inhabitant of this Towne of providence; hath departed this towne, the Towne being doubtfull of his return to take care for the Releife of the wife and child which he hath left in the Towne: This to signiffie unto all persons, that the town hath seized into their handes and Secured, all the estate of the said Thomas Walling....<br />

<br />
He returned for a while then abandoned his wife and children again in 1667<br />
“in October of 1666 Thomas Walling was found guilty of assault on Robert Colwell and paid a bond of 20 pounds, but he failed to appear in court and forfeited his bond. It turned out that he had run away with Colwell's wife Margaret White, whom Colwell subsequently divorced.”<br />
<br />
In a separate incident, William White's daughter, Margaret, already married to Robert Colwell, ran away with her married neighbor, Thomas Walling; both deserted their families. Colwell secured his divorce 2 July 1667; Margaret had returned to Boston and was ordered to be publicly whipped 15 stripes and was fined £5 in October 1666.<br />
<br />
Thomas was also whipped this time twice once in Providence and the other was I believe in Boston<br />

Poor Mary, first Wife of Thomas Wallen<br />
from -- Thomas Wallen/Walling: Pilgrim Rogue? by Joan Gatturna<br />
"Roger Williams wrote the following to the town of Providence: “I understand that one of the orphans of our dear friend Daniel Abbott is likely(as she herself told me) to be disposed of in marriage.'Tis true she has now come to some years, but who knows not what need the poor maid hath of your fatherly care, counsel and direction. I would not disparage the young man (for I hear he hath been laborious)...”<br />
Williams went on to urge the town to seek assurance that the young man will “forsake his former courses.”<br />
<br />
"The Early Records of the Town of Providence <br />
For asmuch as Thomas Walling, formerly inhabitant of this Towne of providence;<br />
hath departed this towne, the Towne being doubtfull of his return to take care<br />
for the Releife of the wife and child which he hath left in the Towne: This to<br />
signiffie unto all persons, that the town hath seized into their handes and Secured,<br />
all the estate of the said Thomas Walling......<br />
There are several entries about the absence of Thomas. Mary petitions the town to be<br />
relieved of the care of an apprentice named Daniel Comstock, as she can no longer care<br />
for him. During the same year she also apprentices her own son Gerhom to Nathaniel Mowry.<br />
The entries about the apprenticeships are dated 1667, the same year as the divorce of<br />
Margaret and Robert Colwell. Mary Abbott Wallen dies in 1669 and Thomas reappears to marry Margaret Colwell. "<br />

Highland Co. Ohio, taken shortly before his death supports this
claim. Lewis' suit listed Richard's surviving children as William
Wilburn of Giles, VA, Stephen Wilburn of Claiborne TN and Lewis and

Lewis Wilburn, of Carter Co. Kentucky, claimed that the woman,
Elizabeth Irons Wilburn, had never been legally wed to his father.
Lewis claimed that she had taken advantage of Richard's feeble mind
and influenced him to make her his sole heir in 1819. (The will was
not </span></span><tt class="western"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">

<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
The sixth son of Thomas H.
Turner(1812-aft 1880) and Mary Johnston(1815-1853)</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Mary died of fever when Wilburn was
just 8 years old. I have read that Thomas
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
sent the children to live with
relatives after her death. Thomas according to</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
family lore was called "Humpy Tom"
because of a humped back and was said to</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
be a"very contrary" man.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
In 1860 Wilburn was living with
his father Thomas, sister Mary, and brother Shadrick
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
in Breathitt County,KY. On Oct 31,
1861, the the age of just 16, he enlisted as a private in Company G.
8th Regiment of KY volunteers, Union Army. Sometime during the
Battle of Stone Creek, Wilburn was captured by the Rebels about Jan
2,1863. He was paroled at City-Point, VA January 20,1863 reported at
Camp Parole, MD January 21,1863 and was sent to CCO and re- enlisted
in either March or May of 1863. On February 1,1864 he was paid
$60 bounty and was due $340. On Nov 17, 1864</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
he is shown as have drawn a clothing
allowance of $22.18 a bounty paid of $110 as a</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
veteran volunteer bounty recruit and
$290 due. On November 17,1864 he was shown as discharged by
reason of re-enlistment as a veteran.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
The 1890 Veteran Census says that
he was shot in the left shoulder sometime during his service. I did
not see any absent to hospital record so either it was not too
serious or it occurred during his capture by the Rebels.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Wilburn was 23 years old when he
married 24 years Burnetta Tompkins on 15 Mar 1866 in Laurel county,
KY. The marriage bond was signed by Wilburn and his cousin, Robert
Johnston,</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
( a son of Elliott Johnston, the
brother of Wilburn's mother) Wilburn apparently never learned to
read and write but his wife could. There are Turner researchers that
state Burnetta was a teacher,but I have not yet found where they get
that information. I have not found the couple in the 1870 census so
perhaps that will tell me something.

Naturally I had to know more. . <br />
There was a Samuel Comstock , part owner of a frigate, or barque, called the Swallow. This Comstock seems to have been involved in privateering.<br />
"In the fall of September 1654, a Samuel Cromstock and Anna Tchuys were arrested
and convicted in New Amsterdam, for adultery." Both were apparently already married. There has been no marriage record found. This is where the pirate story comes from though. Others will need to determine if it is the same couple found at Providence in 1654, though the date overlap makes me believe not.<br />
However, the Ann I am showing here does appear to be the Ann Smith, Thomas Wallen ran away with.<br />

I have my line up as Bessie, E. Cordelia., Nancy, to Joel.<br />
Joel Coffey was one of at least eight Joel Coffey's living in the Russell County area in the early 1800's. There is no way that anyone will ever sort it out precisely. <br />
The Coffey researchers claim that my Joel is most likely the son of Martin Coffey. There is a lot of information about him . I have combined and edited what I have found and included as much source info as I could relocate to post here I hope this gives you plenty of info to verify and perhaps find even more<br />
<br />
Please be sure to visit Coffey Cousins as well as Rootsweb and Fomily Search for much more.<br />

Lily McIlhaney<br />
Ah the Irish woman I hoped to claim. She was the mother of <b>a</b> Rebecca Bowen. <br />
I have not pursued this too much since I doubt she is my relative. But I just hate throwing out any research so perhaps someone else will find this useful.<br />
Lily McIlhaney was said to be born about 1709 in Ireland to Henry MCILHANEY (b: 1673 Ireland and Jane MCGEEHAN (b: 1673 Ireland) <br />
I have no info about her trip here but it appears she met John Bowen in PA possibly Chester or Delaware Co.<br />
She married John BOWEN (b 1696 in Gwynnedd township, Chester Co. PA)<br />
I read a lovely story about John Bowen being awestruck by the lovely Irish lass but who knows the truth of their meeting.<br />
I found this quote about John though " the Quaker who was remarkable for his personal prowess, and an active, energetic farmer of considerable wealth for that day" I read they owned slaves and are said to be mentioned in "Lyman Chalkley's Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia - <br />
Extracted from the Original Court Records of Augusta County 1745-1800."<br />
It does seem they were married and living in VA by 1730.<br />
<br />
John died by 1761 Wife, Lillis ( Lillie), named sole executor and guardian of the youngest girl, Mary.<br />
At that point it appears in various online biographies about her , Lily was a very good business woman herself, increasing the family wealth after John's death. This may explain why she was executor not one of the adult sons. <br />
<br />
In 1779, she purchased 800 acres on Holston River Valley in VA. This was after John's death <br />
<br />
This is a list of children I found <br />
Nancy BOWEN b: BET 1729 AND 1732 in Orange Co., (then Spotsylvania Co.) VA<br />
Agnes BOWEN b: BET 1735 AND 1740 in Orange Co., VA<br />
John BOWEN b: 21 MAY 1735 in VA<br />
Reece BOWEN b: 1737 in Rockingham Co., (then Augusta Co.) VA<br />
Henry BOWE N b: 1738 in Augusta, Augusta Co., VA<br />
Jane BOWEN b: 1739 in Augusta Co., VA<br />
Robert BOWEN b: 1740 in Augusta Co., VA<br />
Rebecca BOWEN b: 1740 in VA<br />
William BOWEN b: 1742 in Fincastle Co., VA?<br />
Arthur BOWEN b: 17 JAN 1743/44 in Augusta Co., VA<br />
Mary BOWEN b: 1748 in Augusta Co., VA<br />
Charles BOWEN b: SEP 1749 in Augusta Co., VA<br />
Moses BOWEN b: 1754 in VA<br />
<br />
Alternate list of children<br />
Nancy Anne b: 1729- 1732 in Orange or Spotsylvania , VA<br />
Agnes b: 1735-1740 in Orange Co., VA<br />
John b: 21 May 1735 in Augusta Co., VA<br />
Jane b: 1736 in Augusta, VA<br />
Rees b: 1737 in Tazewell or Rockingham or Augusta Co., Va<br />
Henry b: 1738 in Augusta Co., VA<br />
Jean Jane b: 1739 in Augusta, VA<br />
Moses b: 1739 in Augusta, VA<br />
Rebecca b: 1740 in Augusta Co., VA<br />
Robert P. b: 174 0 in Augusta Co., VA<br />
Arthur M. b: 17 Jan 1742/43 in Augusta Co., VA<br />
William R. b: 1744 in Augusta or Fincastle, Virginia<br />
Mary b: 8 Apr 1748 in Augusta, VA<br />
Charles b: Sep 1749 in Augusta Co., VA<br />
<br />
Lily signed a will April 4, 1780 and I believe it was taken to probate in June 1780 Washington Co., VA, she left her estate to Reece, William, Robert, Henry, Charles, Agnes, and Jean. <br />
(TL NOTE No Rebecca but also no Jane, John, Arthur, or Mary I know there was a Mary from John's will did she (Mary) die?)<br />
<br />
It appears Lily may be in the DAR register--- I found this note about her --"She became a patriot in the American Revolution by furnishing supplies and feeding and clothing colonial troops in the continental army." I read all of the sons were in the Revolutionary War and all of the daughters <br />
married men who were in the war also.<br />
<br />
If my family is thru the George Schmidt Smith line, then this is reportedly a grandmother. <br />
I have many doubts about this line including the distrubing statement that the Rebecca Bowen married John Whitley, died, Neither John or Lily named her in their wills . John Whitley was still nearby as he signed as a witness for Lily.<br />
<br />
If Rebecca was still living, if she had run away from John as some have claimed, why would Lily still associate with John? <br />
<br />
I have seen some strange family relationships in my own experience, so I cannot rule the possibilty .<br />

He married a woman named Rebecca Bowen and was an early settler . One of his sons would later be a famous preacher called "Raccoon John".

<br />
not my relative but is close to George Smith family --from <a href="http://www.dentongenealogy.org/">www.dentongenealogy.org</a><br />
Rev. Isaac Denton -- Clinton County's first preacher. At the age of 18 he moved with his parents to Tennessee.<br />
Here he made a profession of religion and was baptized in 1792. He was ordained to the ministry soon after and spent some years preaching among the churches of the area. Through the persuasion of friends he left TN and came to Clinton CO, KY. He was instrumental in organizing Beaver Creek Baptist church in Wayne CO, probably the first in that county,<br />

<br />
Thomas Day was probably born about 1651 <br />
He married a woman named Dorothy Hudson . There is some conflict of who she was there is this --<br />
Researcher claims from the "Index to Marriages of Old Rappahannock and Essex Counties, Virginia, page 79: 1676, Day, Thomas Married Dorothy, daughter of Thomas Hudson. Book D 5, Page: 514.<br />
<br />
OR THIS ---<br />
<br />
"Know all men that I Thomas DAY of Rappa Planter de upon consideration of a Marriage with Dorothy HUDSON as alsoe for and in consideration of a Horse received of the said Dorothy hereby engage myself my heirs & assigns to buy a Mare filly of a yeare old the same to be bought within this two years and what Female increase comes of the said Mare to be equally divided between Laurana, Anne & William HUDSON and Mary BARTLET ......" etc.<br />
<br />
<br />
***TL NOTE -**she might have been a widow -possibly of Edward Hudson- with perhaps four children. This appears to be 1673 ( could be 1676) I assume that Laurana, Anne, Wm and Mary are all her children. It appears Mary is already of age to be married which would likely make Dorothy as a bit older than our Thomas who is likely only 22 to 25 years old at this time. If the deceased husband had been married before, then the mother of these children could be in doubt. Would need to locate info on his will & probate. (see Combs Family site below for more info)****<br />
<br />
Thomas Day purchased land from William Hudson and wife Rebecca Woodnut Hudson located in Essex County, Virginia in 1687 and another 189 acres from John Brookes in 1693<br />
No record yet located about what happened to Dorothy.<br />
By 1698, Thomas appears to have married second time, to Elizabeth (surname unknown). Thomas had one daughter, Elizabeth Mary Angelica Day, born between 1688 and 1699, who later married George Shepherd. There has not been any proof that I know of whether E.M.A. Day is the daughter of Dorothy Hudson or Elizabeth Unknown but the name implies she is Elizabeth's daughter. Her children were born between 1730-1739 so best guess of childbearing age would put her birth 1690-1699.<br />
Sometime before Feb 10, 1699 a neighbor, Mary Hodges, visited the Day home and found Elizabeth Day "lying dead upon the bed in a most horrod and barboriy mannor all Gored in Blood " and Thomas Day also had wounds on his face. Thomas Day said his wife died about two hours before sunrise, but he did not know what had happened to her. (more info on the 1st page about Day)<br />
<br />
All witnesses recorded in the court record gave the same report. The jurors decided "Thom. Day is Guilty of ye murdering ye said Elizabeth Day. " February 10, 1699<br />
<br />
THEN in 1700 -"In Aprill Generall Court 1700 Day of Essex County for ye Murder of Eliza Cay wife of Thomas Day of Essex Acquitted and discharged"<br />
<br />
"In October General Court 1700 John Smith for Felony & ye murder of Eliza Day Wife of Thomas Day of Essex County. Found Guilty. Condemned and was Executed" (See McIlwaine info below for more)<br />
So far I have found no other info of who John Smith was or why he may have murdered Eliza Day<br />
<br />
It appears that Thomas never truly recovered from the ordeal.<br />
<br />
"I Thomas Day of South Farnham Parish in Essex County, Planter, doe assigne and sett over<br />
all my right title clayme and interest unto the within written deed unto Jacob Devillard <br />
of the aforesd county, .....this seaventeenth day of March 1701/2 ...Acknowledged in Essex <br />

Then just four years later he writes his will in December 1705 and it is in probate <br />
the following February 1706<br />

For over a year now I have known that DNA evidence was not leading me up the Smith branch of my tree the way I had been told by other researchers. But I was holding fast that it would eventually be shown that my supposed gggg-grandfather was a cousin to the DNA proven line. I like the story that he and his wife have attached to them. But when I found myself trying to make the evidence fit my theory, instead of following the trail of evidence to wherever it may lead... Then I knew it was time to give it up. No point in leaving that on the list, I can always put him back if the evidence ever supports it ,right?<br />
<br />
So with a deep breath I hit DELETE.<br />
<br />
Then to console myself , I decided to dig around a bit with one of my favorites, Hot Grandma Elizabeth. I found her Wild Child Malinda mentioined in an old Rootsweb list and began to read about her husbands and children and then----OH NO!!! The writer suggested that Malinda was the granddaughter of Lewis Wilburn. Now I am sure Lewis was a great guy, he was the brother of Stephen Wilburn , the grandpa I have listed. The problem with this Lewis theory is that, if true, I will lose my beloved Wallen/ Walling connection!!!!! I have spent hours reading about the Longhunters and their adventures. I have studied the Salem Witch Trials, and poured thru pages of early New England Puritan history. Now to possibly lose that whole line!!!!!!. <br />
<br />
So I pushed myself away from the computer last night, with a very Scarlett O'Hara attitude of "I'll think about that tomorrow". <br />
<br />
This morning I turned to Morning Wallen, sad that I could lose her wonderful history. I looked at the picture I had attached to her not really sure what that was, though I thought it was a page from the marriage records book. When I brought it up on screen -Lo and Behold- it was a page from a diary dated 1850 listing births of her, Stephen, and their children including Hot Grandma Elizabeth! <br />
<dd>From intro to document: The pages copies herein are from an old record book
brought from Eastern Tennessee to Southwest Missouri and Northwest Arkansas in
1850 and discovered among the personal papers of Thomas J. Walden, Busch,
Arkansas, after his death in 1951 </dd><dd> </dd> That is what happens when you collect so much you can not keep track of it all.

The first mention I have is that grandma Nancy filed for a divorce from her ne'r do well husband, Berry Hill, The details follow here:<br />

Now in 1854<br />
there is a divorce granted along with two interesting notes that failed to catch my full attention when I found this decree on line (Thank you <strong>"Lanny R. Slavey"

and by Robert Slavey <
<a href="mailto:slavey@laserpower.com">slavey@laserpower.com</a>> at Rootweb Slaven-Slavey mailing list)<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">Divorce Nancy Hill vs} Berry hill<br />
<br />
Be it remembered that this cause coming on to be finally heard and<br />
<br />
determined before the Honerable Ebenezer Alexander Judge &c upon this the 25th day July AD 1854 upon the bill and proof and it appearing to the<br />
<br />
satisfaction of the court that the complaintant is a citizen of the county<br />
<br />
of Scott and that the defendant Berry Hill had been served with a subpoena<br />
<br />
and copy of said bill, and that the said Berry Hill had been guilty of<br />
<br />
adultry as charged in said Petition The court is therefore pleased to<br />
<br />
order adjudge and decree that the bonds of Matrimony heretofore existing(?)<br />
<br />
Said Nancy Hill and defendant Berry Hill be dissolved and for nothing held<br />
<br />
and that the name of Petitioner be changed from Nancy Hill her present name<br />
<br />
to that of <u>Nancy Smith her maiden name</u>, It is further ordered that the said<br />
<br />
berry Hill pay the costs of this cause and that execution issue and that<br />
<br />
the defendant is inhibited and enjoined from in anyway interferring with or<br />
<br />
taking possession of <u>either of</u> Petitioners Children<br />
<br />
<br />
Nancy SMITH Hill had TWO apparently underaged children in 1854. This is when I realized the Nancy Smith near Henry Hill in 1860 was his mother . <br />
Duh ! And I had this info for how long?<br />
<br />
Here is a Berry Hill note I have always found intriguing, Sally is called Slaven <br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new";">Scott Co. TN Circuit Court Minutes, January, 1859, in the case of the
State of TN versus Berry Hill and Sally Slaven, on the charge of Lewdness:
cause stricken from the document.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new";"></span><br />
Berry was living with a Sarah age 35 and two children (Wm 12 and John 2) in 1860, <br />
In 1870 Sallie age 30 (Wm 22 and John 14 _ other children)<br />
and 1880 Sarah age 40 and John is now 25<br />
The ages of are Berry is 40 (1863) and 50 and 67<br />
The ages of William and John are more consistent so I am confident this is the correct Berry Hill and I believe the 1860 census is the closest to the correct age.<br />
According to the Civil War registration found at Ancestry.com<br />

This look at Berry is how I made a discovery that has not been useful yet, but I know it will be some day.....g-g-grandfather Berry Hill lived next door to g-g-grandfather Benjamin Smith. Now I could just presume that the proximity of the two families is what led to the later marriage of Wm Smith to Crecia Hill. But I think the two families were relatives not just neighbors. </span></span>Random Genealogyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01603853768705001966noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1215659104555021665.post-89055722093419413312012-02-14T05:58:00.000-08:002018-02-02T05:33:51.670-08:00Daniel Abbott fined for making a statementDANIEL ABBOTT <br />
ORIGIN: Unknown BIRTH: Before 1610, based on freemanship<br />
MIGRATION: est 1630 FIRST RESIDENCE: Cambridge<br />
<br />
FREEMAN: Requested 19 October 1630 and admitted 18 May 1631 [MBCR 1:80, 366]<br />
<br />
ESTATE: "Daniell Abott" was granted three acres behind the Pine Swamp in Cambridge on 5 January 1634/5 <br />
<br />
REMOVES: Providence possibly in 1636, and certainly by 1639<br />
On 4 June 1639, the Massachusetts Bay General Court, for unknown reasons,<br />
noted that "Daniell Abbot is departed to New Providence" [MBCR 1:267].<br />
Since Daniel Abbott does not appear in Cambridge records after February of 1636, <br />
he may have gone to Providence as early as 1636.<br />
"Mary Abbott wife unto Daniell Abbott of this town of Providence departed this life in the year 1643,<br />
or thereabouts" [PrTR 5:203].<br />
DECEASED "Daniell Abbott Husband to said Mary departed this life in the year 1647" [PrTR 5:203].<br />
On 27 July 1650 Nicholas Power and Gregory Dexter were ordered to "take the goods belonging to the children of Daniel Abbot . deceased ,into their hands.."<br />
<br />
*******COMMENTS: 18 May 1631: "Daniell Abbott is fined 5s. for refusing to watch, & for other ill <br />
behavior showed towards Captain Pattricke" the fine was remitted in the general amnesty of<br />
6 September 1638 [MBCR 1:243].***********<br />
<br />
So this caught my eye -who was Captain Pattricke and why did Grandpa Abbott disrespect him?<br />
<br />
DANIEL PATRICK (listed as possibly Irish in other sources)<br />
<br />
ORIGIN: The Hague, Holland<br />
MIGRATION: 1630<br />
FIRST RESIDENCE: Watertown<br />
REMOVES: Cambridge by 1632, Watertown 1636, Greenwich by 1640<br />
OCCUPATION: Soldier.<br />
CHURCH MEMBERSHIP: Watertown [ WJ 2:182].<br />
FREEMAN: 18 May 1631 (TL NOTE same day as Daniel Abbott and when Abbott was fined)<br />
DEATH: Killed at Stamford late in 1643 of Capt. Daniel Patrick who was shot at Stantford in New England by one Hans Frederick<br />
<br />
The Winthrop Papers contain three letters written by Capt. Daniel Patrick during the Pequot War, each including current details of encounters and supplies [WP 3:421, 430-31, 440-41]. <br />
EDWARD WINSLOW and ROGER WILLIAMS also made frequent mention of his activities during the war [WP 3:427-28, 436-37, 450].<br />
<br />
Winthrop and Patrick were not friends and their relationship grew more strained with time. About 1640, Daniel Patrick wrote to Winthrop asking to be reconciled and saying "I do confess I am a man of many failings, and certainly I am not ignorant of that unbeseeming carriage, once, nay twice towards yourself, but as time ripeneth fruit, so have I through God's goodness since that thoroughly considered the folly of such rash and proudlike actions ... I am unfeignedly sorry for mine offence" [WP 4:168-69].<br />
<br />
About 1641 Elizabeth Sturgis made a plain statement of the assaults made on her by Captain Patrick, first at the time when she was a servant to Mr. Cumines and later after her marriage. Patrick wrote back rebutting her account and saying that he had written to her husband saying that "if such things were spoken ... I should expect satisfaction" [WP 4:300-03].<br />
<br />
Winthrop wrote of Patrick in 1643 as "very proud and vicious" and that he followed after other women . <br />
Winthrop described his last day as this --The Dutchman (Hans Frederick) had charged him with treachery, for causing 120 men to come to him upon his promise to direct them to the Indians, etc.,but deluded them. Whereupon the captain (Patrick) gave him ill language and spit in his face, and turning to go out, the Dutchman shot him behind in the head, so he fell down dead and never spake. The murderer escaped out of custody.--"<br />
<br />
It looks like Grandpa Abbott may have recognized a bad egg when he saw one. I think he refused to watch a man make an oath that Abbott believed he had no intention of honoring. It appears he was right.<br />

She was hot tempered adultress, and apparently more than a little intimidating. Now imagine all of this dressed in the the garments of our <em>Old Comers</em> ( original name for Pilgrims). Read on and just imagine how mad she may have been!<br />
<br />
She was the daughter of William White (d Oct 1673) and Elizabeth Cadman? (d Dec 1690) / William was a bricklayer , his will proved 31 January 1673/4 in Boston is shown as follows:<br />
<br />
His wife was to have "all my vissable estate so long as she was a widowe and to have her thirds if she remarried; two Sonnes Isaacke & Cornelius White; two sonnes & 1 daughter Susanna Waggett, wife of Thomas Waggett after the decease of wife; to son William White 5 shillings... to other 3 daughters, Elysabeth Harnden, wife of Benjamyne. Margaret Wallen, wife of Thomas Wallen, and Usrulla Bennett, the wife of John Bennett each 4 shillings."<br />
<br />
Margaret married Robert Colewell 1660 they had two children Robert, Jr., b. 1662, and Elizabeth, b 1664 Robert (Colwel, Coleway, Caldwell) took the freemans oath 1658 in Providence,took oath. of alleg. May 1666-<br />
<br />
October 1666, Thomas Walling was found guilty of assault on Robert Colwell and paid a bond of 20 pounds, but he failed to appear in court and forfeited his bond.<br />
October 1666 Margaret was convicted of fornication with Thomas Wallin ordered to be publicly whipped 15 stripes in Boston and was fined £5<br />
July 21, 1667 Colwell was granted a divorce from Margaret.<br />
Margaret married Thomas in 1669, he died in 1674. In just five short years she gave birth to four boys,<br />
John (he may be Mary Abbott's son), William, Cornelius, and James.<br />
On Decmber 25,1678 Margaret married Daniel Abbott, brother of Thomas Wallen's first wife.(-some speculate he did this to regain his sister's share of family inheritance)<br />

<br />
<br />
Petion " Whereas my wife Margrett through her maddness of folly & turbulency of her currupt will, hath often threatened to ruinate my family, routeing me (as she saith) of horse & foote, destroying me root & branch, putting out one of her owne eyes to putt out both mine, & sett my house on fire: And is since deparated from me takeing away my Children without my consent.

<br />
Published 8 January 1684: "These are to desire the Towne, that the within Written prohibition may be put<br />
upon the publick record of this Towne, And alsoe published in this Towne meeting."<br />
<br />
Daniel died early 1700's (dates found vary from 1700-1717) and mentioned Margaret in his will , so they apparently never divorced. (TL NOTE not yet located the will )<br />
<br />
Margaret appeared once more in the public records (Margaret may have died later this year):<br />
1717<br />
" 'Upon the Cumplaint of Mrs Margret Abbott widow of mr Daniel Abbott deceased that shee wants Releif and being sensible that the sd Daniel Abbott her deceased husband Left a Compitent Esstate: suffuciant to Releife his sd widdow and being Informed that his son Daniel Abbott Administred vpon sd Esstate and being also sumthing sinsable of the same Where vpon wee doe order as hereby it is ordered that the sd suruiueing Daniel Abbott shall pay to the Relief of his mother the sd Margreet Abbott the sum of Eight shillings Per weeke Currant money into the hands of one of the ouer seers of the poor of sd Towne Except he prouide for her sum other way to her Content vntill sum further order be taken.'

In August 1676 a meeting of those men referred to as those "that{staid} and went not away:" were chosen to make the final decision about these prisoners. They had to consider that to simply release the Indians would threaten safety of the colonists . They could hang or shoot their prisoners but that was a path that could likely lead to more battles later. The decision issued was as follows:<br />
<br />
“We whose names are underwritten, being Chosen by the Town to set the <br />
disposal of the Indians now in Town, we agree, that Roger Williams,<br />

<br />
The committee authorized Capt. Arthur Fenner ,William Hopkins ,and John Whipple Jr. to procure a boat to transport the Indians where they might be sold, and after cost and reasonalble payment for their efforts the remaining funds would be divided the company _ <br />
"This being our reall act and deed as wittness our handes this 16 day of August 1676:<br />

Now one might wonder why ther appears to be a length of servitude attached to this sale. It seems that in March 1675,before the troubles had begun, legislature of Rhode Island had passed a law “that noe Indian in this Collony be a slave, but only to pay their debts or for their bringeing up, or Custody they have<br />
received, or to performed Covenant as if they had been Countrymen and not taken in war.” <br />
Did the committee believe that by imposing time limits it made the sale into an contract of servitude for debt repayment?<br />
Here is an accounting of at least a part of the sale<br />
To Anthony Low, five Indians, great and small, £8. <br />
'To James Rogers, two, for twenty two bushels of Indian corn. <br />
'To Philip Smith, two, in silver, £4, 10. <br />
'To Daniel Allen, one, in silver, £2, 10. <br />
'To Caleb Carr, one, twelve bushels of Indian corn. <br />
'To Elisha Smith, one, in wool, 100 lbs. <br />
'To Elisha Smith, one, for three fat sheep<br />
<br />
Daniel Abbott listed is my 8th grand uncle and Thomas Walling is my 7th great grandfather.<br />
He is the son of "Bad Boy Thomas" who died between 1674 and 1675, before the war. Thomas Jr. would have been only 21 maybe 22 when this occurred.<br />

In total twelve hundred homes were burned, eight thousand head of cattle lost,stored food destroyed, more than half of New England's ninety towns were attacked, and between six hundred and eight hundred English settlers died. When compared to the population at that time, the death toll was twice that of the Civil War.<br />
Metacom, leader of the Pokanokets, a tribe within the Wampanoag Indian Federation, was given the nickname of King Philip by the English. He was the son of Massasoit -- the same Massasoit who had helped the Plymouth Pilgrims survive their first winter in the New World.<br />
Hostility began to develop over the land sales forced on the Native Americans. The English colonists continued making more demands on the Wampanoag,taking away their arms and forcing them to live and abide by English laws without necessarily allowing the same laws to protect the Indians. The last straw seems to have been the killing of some cattle that may have trampled the Wampanoag corn crop, A farmer retaliated by killing an Indian, which set the stage for the uprising.<br />
Nipmuck Indians, of central Massachusetts, joined forces with Philip's Wampanoags. A successful ambush of soldiers and siege of the town of Brookfield marked the start of the war. The tribes moved on, gathering more warriors to the cause as they successfully attacked and killed Captain Lothrop troops at Deerfield.<br />
The English blamed the Puritans for bringing God's punishment on the Colonies, the Puritans blamed Quakers and the converted Christian Indians. An ill conceived plan to make a pre-emptive strike resulted in General Winslow , <em>Benjamin Church</em>, and a thousand soldiers from Connecticut, Massachusetts Bay , and Plymouth attacking the then neutral tribe of the Narragansett. Most of the 5oo killed were women and children. One can only imagine the rage and fury of the Narragansett warriors after this Great Swamp Massacre of 1675. The settlers surely saw little hope at that point.<br />
The towns of Newport and Portsmouth invited the people of Providence and Warwick to take shelter on the Island in the hopes it would allow a better chance of defense. Most of Providence accepted this offer. Preserved in the records of the town are the names of those who have become known as those "that stayed{staid} and went not away:"<br />
As the Indians approached Providence, Roger Williams made one more effort at peace. The reply was no, but because of Williams' history of kindness towards the Indians they would not harm him. So Williams and the others returned to the house on the hill. On March 29, 1676, Providence lost seventy-two homes, only the hill side house and four others remained after the fire, none of the men named were harmed.<br />
The attacks continued on both sides but in April, 1676 the tide began to turn against King Phillip.<br />
In August, <em>Benjamin Church </em>captured Philip's wife and nine year old son. The son was sold into slavery to a West Indies Planter. On August 12, 1676, an Indian guide named Alderman, working with the Benjamin Church troops, is said to have shot King Phillip in the chest, thus effectively ending the war. ( TL NOTE Depending on the historian's opinion, Alderman is also referred to as a treacherous member of his own tribe . I must add here another piece I found that is a dreadful statement of the mood of the people--- King Philip's body was "taken and destroyed, and there was he like as Agag was hewed in pieced before the Lord cut into four quarters, and is now hanged up as a monument of revenging Justice, his head being cut off and carried away to Plymouth, his Hands were brought to Boston." In fact, his head remained displayed in Plymouth on a pole until 1700.)<br />
