LOBBAN - COPELAND - HENDERSON



NEXT - Conclusion

 


Note: Hendersons lived on Dumpling Run, a short distance from Burnsville, W.Va.. The following information concerning the Lobban family was copied from a Henderson family Bible in the possession of the descendants of Marion and Howard's great aunt, Lucinda Henderson Barrette. Her daughters were living in 1941 at Camden-on-Gauley, W. Va. The record was probably written in the Bible by some member of Aunt Lucinda's generation rather than having been written earlier. "Lobban" was spelled with an "i," rather than an "a." When we searched the court house and historical society records in Albemarle County, Virginia, where the Lobbans settled, we discovered this error.

"John Lobbin was born in North Britain (Scotland) in the shire of Aberdeen and parish of Long Side, June 7, 1734. He was the only child of his parents, and came to America when he was 13 years of age. Elizabeth Copeland, his wife, was born Sept 19, 1772 in Albemarle County, Virginia."

In the Bible was also recorded the names and births of the children. When we did the research in Albemarle County in 1977, we learned that a John G. Lobban had married a "Jane Ramsey." We think this was the John Lobban who emigrated from Scotland, and that it was their son, John, who married Elizabeth Copeland. There was 38 years difference in the ages of John G. Lobban and Elizabeth Copeland, which would be unusual for a husband and wife. John G. Lobban and Jane Ramsey were the parents of four children, according to the records in the historical society in Albemarle County. They were: John, William, Mary and Alexander.

John Lobban (probably the II) and Elizabeth Copeland are one set of the great-great great grandparents of Marion and Howard Brady, on their mothers side. Their children were listed in the Bible.

Lillie (Henderson) Thrash’s Teacher’s Certificate

Lillie (Henderson) Thrash’s Teacher’s Certificate - Issued August 6, 1891 - Mother was always justly proud of the fact that at age eighteen and a half she earned this highest rating “Teacher’s Certificate”. Seeing this should give her descendants a feeling of pride in their heritage.

This is a reproduction of a very old family group picture, from the home of Lillie and Marion Thrash. I had probably not seen it in seventy years until August 1993. My sister, Beulah Cook, showed it to me at that time. We both easily recognize our parents and believe that this is a picture of a group from my mother's side of the family. (Henderson) Several people have studied it in connection with the old Crislip pictures, and can find no resemblance to the members of that family.

Mother (Lillie Henderson Thrash) is the lady in the second row from the front, holding the baby. We think the baby is probably Gotthart, the first child born to Lillie (Henderson) Thrash and her husband, Marion.

If so, the picture was certainly taken sometime in 1898, since Gotthart was born Dec. 27, 1897. Dad (Marion James Thrash), is the hatless, black-haired man in the third row down from the back, in front and a little to the left of the lady in the white blouse. We think the old lady on the extreme left in the second row may be our grandmother, Elizabeth Ann Henderson. I seem to have a faint memory that this is true and that the gentleman next to her is the husband of the lady in front of, and to his left. This may be just wishful thinking on my part, since I have always wanted a picture of this set of grandparents.

Grandfather, William Warder Henderson, died around nine years before Mother married.


ELIZABETH LOBBAN DEED


We secured a photostatic copy of this instrument, which was in the archives of the County of Nelson, Virginia, at Lovingston. The workers in this Court House were especially helpful. They suggested that we might want a copy of the original which would be stored, if the family had not come back for it. We were able to get copies of two original documents. A scribes copy is in Deed Book #6, page 103.

This instrument is called "A Deed of Gift," and was either written or dictated by Elizabeth Lobban. It was written January 6, 1827, and recorded May 28, 1827. This was probably used as a will after her death. This was signed by all the children, and by Robert C. Henderson, who was the husband of Lucinda Lobben, on the day on which it was written. I wonder if the mark (X) was required up until a certain date, at least in some states. The signatures of the seven, and also the three witnesses, are all different, but all also used the mark.

Lucinda Lobban Henderson was the great-great-great-grandmother of Marion and Howard Brady, Adriel B. Thrash and Sharon Thrash Schaible.

A DEED OF GIFT

 

Know all men by these presents, that I Elizabeth Lobban of the county of Nelson and State of Virginia, being actuated by motives of generosity, prudence and natural duty toward my children, viz. Mildred Lobban, Susanna S. Lobban, Alexander H. Lobban, Jane M. Lobban, Rhoda I. Lobban, and Lucinda Henderson (formerly Lucinda Lobban) and for and in consideration of the natural love and affection which I bear to my Said children, as well as for the further Consideration of the Sum of One Dollar to me in hand paid by them, at and before the ensealing and delivery of these presents, (the receipt whereof is hereby acknowledged, and given and granted, and by these presents do give and grant unto the Said Mildred, Susanna, Alexander, Jane, Rhoda & Lucinda, their executors, administrators and asigns, the following property, to wit, three negro Slaves, named Nancy, William and Kitty, being a negro woman, a boy and a girl; but not to be in the possession of my Said children (or any of them) nor belong to them (or any of them) nor to be owned or enjoyed by them in any manner, or upon any pretence whatever until after my death; and then to have and to hold, the Said negro Slaves unto my aforesaid children, forever, together with all the future increse of Said Slaves, which I also give and grant to my Said children in like manner: hereby retaining and reserving to myself a life estate in Said Slaves and their future increase; with all the privileges and advantages incident to a life estate, in as full extent as if this deed had never been executed: and it is also hereby declared to be true intent and meaning of this deed that at my death as aforesaid (and not before) the Said negro Slaves, and all their future increase, are then to be possessed, owned and enjoyed by Said children, their exors. admrs. & in the Same manner, and in as full extent as if the life estate as aforesaid, had not been reserved: (however nothing herein contained is to be so construed as to effect or interfere with said life estate or any thing incident thereto.)

(When I studied this instrument I got a very clear picture of my great-great grandmother, Elizabeth Lobban as being a very strong, independent widow. I think her children were using her slaves without her permission and she was giving them to understand that she was still the owner and boss of said slaves, although they would inherit them at her death. I was amused by the signatures also. Some looked like they signed under duress. My great-grandmother, Lucinda Lobban Henderson's, husband was the only spouse signing the deed of gift. Surely others were married. Did the spouses just refuse to sign? I wonder!)

I have corrected some errors in the passage below. Corrections are in brackets. Lillie Henderson was first named Cordelia, which was changed later.

William Warder Henderson


From a reprinting of Haram Hardesty’s old book on West Virginia Counties. These articles began to appear in 1883. This was from the volume on Calhoun, Pocahontas, Braxton and Berkeley Counties:

 

    "William W. Henderson, son of Robert C. and Lucinda (Lobban) Henderson, was born in Nelson County, Virginia, September 30, 1825. In Staunton, Virginia, July 16, 1861, he enlisted in Company 1, 62d Virginia Infentry, and with that company he took part in the battles of New Market, and those fought about Richmond, where for three days he was constantly in skirmishes, and the battle of Whitehouse. After this engagement he was stricken with fever and taken home, and before his recovery the war was ended.
    "In Nelson County, Virginia, Sept. 23, 1853, William W. Henderson was joined in marriage with Elizabeth A. Wingfield. Her birth was in Albemarle county, Virginia, May 11, 1832 the date, and Robert C. and Eliza C. [really Eliza S., thought to be the initial for Selina] Elson [really Elsom] Wingfield her parents. Her mother is now living in Upshur County, West Virginia, and her father died in February of 1870. Mr. and Mrs. Henderson are the parents of Eliza L., born August 17,1854; Robert A., Dec. 8,1856; Mary F., March 14,1858; (Bible March 15th) John H., 1859; Amanda J., July 1, 1861; Margaret S July 16, 1864; Mildred M., July 7, 1866; William H., November 2, 1867; Martha E. November 13, 1869; Edward M., June 18, 1871; Cordelia J., [Always called Lillie and all official papers signed that way.] February 22, 1873. Robert, John and Mildred live in Cass County, Illinois, the others in Braxton County, and he is farming in the Salt Lick District, where he made his home in 1867. His parents died in this county, his mother on the 28th of December, 1879, and his father on the 2nd of September, 1880. William W. Henderson's post office address is Burnsville, Braxton County, W.
