to Nebraska for a few years as sons Clyde
Lloyd
(b.1889) and William Lester (b.1892) were both born in Nebraska, but their next
son,
Cleveland, (b.1894) was born back in Lamoni, Iowa.
Gothenburg,
Nebraska history:
<http://www.ci.gothenburg.ne.us/>
"Gothenburg
reached a population of 300 and was incorporated as a town on July 8,
1885.
The first church was completed in 1886. A boom occurred in the early 1890s
when
a canal, lake and powerhouse were built to generate electric power. A barbed
wire
factory, pickling works, galvanized iron works, lead pipe works, sheet copper
rolling
mill, brass foundry, boiler iron works, and bathtub factory were some of the
firms
that located in Gothenburg in the 1890s. The Financial Panic of 1893 (a year
after
William Lester was born) put most of the companies in the hands of receivers,
and
the boom turned into a bust. Resulting, however, was irrigation for about
16,800
acres
east from the lake, and the community settled down to an agricultural future
which
has continued to progress through the years.”

Marriage
Records by Rev. George Brock.
County: Floyd, Name: James Bell, Spouse: F
McCutehen, Marriage Date: 21 Jun 1849,
Book:
3, Original Source Page: 217
In her family Bible, Fannie recorded her own
marriage: "James Bell and Frances
McCutcheon
were married by Rev. Geo. Brock, Floyd County, Indiana June 21st. Anno
Domini
1849." She also recorded the
births of her husband, James, and herself (Mary
Frances),
and all of their children.
Additionally, she recorded the marriages of
her sons, Thomas J. to Jincy Ann Scott
and
Elias E. to Elizabeth Goss, as well as the births of grandchildren
"Eckley," Clara,
and
"Berty."
Under "Deaths," the first listing
was for Elizabeth, her daughter-in-law, wife of Elias,
who
died 17 Jul 1876, just a little over 3 months after giving birth to
"Berty."
Shortly after the death of her
daughter-in-law, Fannie gave birth to her own child,
Amsley
Tilden, who died in infancy. His birth
is listed in the Bible but not his death.
Fannie
herself never listed any more marriages, births, or deaths as the next entry in
the
Bible was that of Fannie's own death.
Fannie's own mother had died, probably in childbirth,
when she was only 4 or 5 years
old -
the same year her brother Samuel was born.
Then about a year after her
marriage
to James Bell, when she was 20 or 21, practically her whole family moved to
Iowa
(about 1851) - including her father, step-mother, older brother John, older
sister
Susannah,
and younger brother Samuel. Then in
about 1865 several members of
Fannie's
family, with the exception of Susannah, left Iowa and joined a wagon train
bound
for Oregon. Susannah remained in Iowa along
with her husband, Cyrus Bell,
but
their brother John died along the way.
According
to the biography of her son Thomas J. (Published in 1887), after James
death
in 1885, Fannie continued to live on the "old homestead." with her
three
youngest
children, Elizabeth, Andrew and Tilford."

recount of Mr. Anthony's experiences with various people: Copied from Lamoni's
Passing
Parade by Joseph H. Anthony, Page 160, By Jean Belzer, March 9, 2002
"JOHN
McKIM
"One
of the thriving business institutions during the 90's was the McKim Hotel,
which
occupied
the large frame building just north of the depot, now owned by John Foster.
In
the early days of Lamoni John McKim had selected this site close to the depot
as
being
favorable to a business of this kind and had built his hotel here, where it
proved
a
convenience to the traveling public; and to further add to this convenience,
especially
for the benefit of the traveling salesman who wished to make the
surrounding
inland towns, he also established a livery service and built a large livery
barn
across the road east of the hotel. His son Martin, as reliable and dependable a
man
as ever conducted business in Lamoni, had charge of the stable, while Everett,
a
grandson,
was chief handyman and divided his time between both institutions,
wherever
the need was most pressing. John McKim was one of the early pioneers in
this
community, having been attracted to this locality through church interests, but
who
as the years passed, allowed his religious fervor to become cooled to the
extent
that
he was openly critical of the church which had chosen Lamoni as its
headquarters,
and
he was not in the least hesitant in condemning many of the activities of its
leaders.
He
was one of those fussy, fidgety kind of men, quite excitable and impatient, and
when
demands about the hotel became urgent and more than normally pressing he
would
flit about the place here and there, from one task to another, giving none of
them
adequate attention, and finally in desperation he would invariably step to the
door
and call excitedly: "Marty, Marty, Everett, Everett," until one or
the other of these
assistants
came to his rescue and cared for the demands of the moment.
"On
the whole, however, he was undoubtedly a clever businessman, and under his
supervision
the business prospered. With his friends he was jovial and congenial, and
with
adults and youngsters alike he was known quite universally as Uncle Johnnie.
But
while
he could be friendly and pleasant, and tolerant of the youngsters and their
minor
familiarities
about his place of business, he could also be, if occasion demanded, very
firm
and severe. This fact I found out one day in a way that I will not soon forget.
"At
the time I had a paper route and I procured my papers as they were thrown off
the
train at the local depot. This particular day some traveling salesmen were
there
when
the papers came who were anxious to get one of them without delay, so I
stepped
into the hotel office to open the bundle. I felt in my pocket for my knife to
cut
the
wrapping, and not finding it, I used the first thing I saw that I thought would
serve
the purpose,
and that happened to be the pen lying upon Uncle Johnnie's desk. As I
finished
opening the bundle I glanced up and saw him glaring in my direction, one
hand
stroking his gray beard meditatively, his eyes darting fire, and in a voice
that cut
like
a knife he shouted: "Young man, don't you ever let me see you do that
again."
You
may be sure I never did it again with his pen; and even today if I happen to
use a
pen
to open a letter or any similar missive I always think of Uncle Johnnie and his
warning.
"The
chief reason his church associations had not turned out as he had anticipated
when
he came to Lamoni was that he felt those who controlled the financial affairs
of
the church
were especially inefficient in that line, and if there was one thing that
irritated
him it was what he considered the useless squandering of finances.
""I
always paid my tithing," he would say - and I have heard him tell this
story several
time
- "yes, I paid my tithing when times were hard and I did not have it to
spare, only
to
see the bishop spend it for things which were unnecessary. And finally in
desperation
I said, "Lord, no more tithing. I am giving no more money to the church to
see
it squandered foolishly." And from that moment my financial affairs began
to
improve
and I have prospered ever since.
"When
the conference of the LDS Church voted in Kirtland, Ohio, to close Graceland
College,
Uncle Johnnie was jubilant. "Have you heard what the conference
decided?"
he
would inquire of the man on the street or in the shops. "They are going to
close
Graceland
College and thus put an end to a lot of this squandering of the church's
money.
This act upon the part of the conference is wise and the fulfillment of
prophecy.
"
Then, if inquiry was made concerning the source of such a prophecy, he would
continue
with an air of importance: "Yes, sir, on the day the college was dedicated
I
gave
that prophecy. At that time I predicted that after a short period of activity
the
new
college building would be deserted and finally become hidden to the world by a
rank
growth of weeds, brambles and underbrush; its walls would crumble and its roof
would
sway; its study rooms become roosting places for owls and bats and its halls
runways
for rats and vermin."
"This
was similar to the picture of desolation mentally visioned for the future
Graceland
College
by many people of that time. Uncle Johnnie McKim was not the only one who
predicted
such a dire ending for this project, so enthusiastically and so recently
sponsored
by the church and the community; and while he considered that such a
prediction
could come only through inspiration in the form of a prophecy, in truth, with
many
who were really acquainted with the hard facts, it was simply a matter of
logical
reasoning.
The only difference between his and other such predictions was that he was
probably
a little more vigorous in presenting his views and a little more eloquent in
their
declaration. In my opinion the miracle which did take place, however, was not
in
the
number or eloquence of the prophecies given, but in the fact that Graceland was
successful
in keeping her doors open, that . . . but this is quite another story.
"While
John McKim may have been somewhat eccentric in many of his views, on the
whole
he was probably as reasonable as the majority of us, and if the following story
(one
which was told quite generally and is probably authentic) can be relied upon,
it
proves
that though he may have been positive in his views he did keep his mind open
to
conviction, and if the evidence was conclusive he could, like the proverbial
female,
change
his mind as often and as quickly as the occasion demanded.
"Upon
this particular day Uncle Johnnie looked out of one of the east windows of his
hotel
and noticed a large cloud of black smoke which completely enveloped the livery
barn
across the street. He had never been a believer in fire insurance and had never
invested
in it, but with this indisputable evidence that the livery barn was on fire
before
him, he immediately realized the fallacy of his prejudices in this line, and in
haste
he dashed from the hotel and immediately sought the advice of one of the local
insurance
agents. "I want to take out an insurance policy," he exclaimed as he
breathlessly
confronted the agent. Insurance on the hotel, the livery barn and
everything
I own."
"The
agent was familiar with his previous attitude regarding insurance and was not a
little
amazed at the sudden change, and more or less curious at his impetuousness.
After
a little questioning he soon learned what Uncle Johnnie thought was the true
state
of affairs and noting his apparent despair he was really concerned over the old
gentleman's
pathetic appeal for help.
"At
this point in the conversation a third party entered the insurance office, a
man who
had
just passed the location of the supposed conflagration, and hearing enough of
his
conversation
to acquaint him with the details, he sensed the situation immediately and
hastened
to explain:
"Your
barn, is not afire, Mr. McKim," he said.
"Not afire!" shouted the old man, his
face
distorted with distress. "It is all ablaze. I saw the smoke pouring from
every door.
Don't
tell me it is not on fire." "But it is not," assured the man,
smiling in spite of the
older
man's seriousness. "Some workmen are repairing the roof on one of the
store
buildings
and they set up their kettle for melting the tar just behind your livery
stable.
It is
the smoke from their fire and the boiling tar that you saw." A trip to the
spot was
the
only thing that could convince Uncle Johnnie of the truth of his story, and so
all
three
of them hurried to the location and found it just as the newcomer had said.
Uncle
Johnnie admitted rather reluctantly that the joke was on him and started
without
further
ceremony toward his hotel.
"What
about that insurance," said the agent, attempting to detain him. "Now
would be
a
good time to take care of it, and you may really need it sometime."
"Ho,"
snorted Uncle Johnnie indifferently, "my wife and I have carried the risk
a long
time
and I guess we can take care of it from now on."
"Yes,
John McKim had his eccentricities. He was impulsive and he was critical, but to
those
who knew all about him he demonstrated many good qualities. He was sincere
in
his beliefs, and if he opposed a thing it was because that in his heart he felt
it was
not
worthy of his support. With some individuals it seems only natural to differ
with the
majority,
and many of his inclinations seemed to follow this tendency. In group
development,
however, this tendency in moderation is an asset rather that a liability,
as it
acts as an ingredient which tends to leaven the loaf. In memory we think of Uncle
Johnnie
and the many constructive things he did contribute, and we know his works
entitle
him to a place among those other pioneers to whom Lamoni owes her very
existence,
and a place in Lamoni's passing parade."

"Elias
Bell came to Clark County in 1812 (age 4 years). He was an extensive stock
raiser
and dealer. He was a religious man and
was a deacon in Pleasant Ridge Church,
which
he helped to establish... This church

trustees of
this
church. Elias Bell was one of the best
known and most influential men of this

"William Eldon McCutchan was born in
Virginia (Staunton, Shenandoah Valley) in

In
1810, [when he was 18] ... he moved to the Indiana Territory. Indiana was still
largely
controlled by the Indians, but William settled and farmed on Big Indian Creek,
just
west of Louisville, Kentucky. [He probably joined his Uncle William and cousins
James
and Samuel who came in 1806. See the
notes for James H.]
"William Eldon married Susanna Thornton
in Indiana, and they had six children
between
1819 and 1834. Susanna died in 1834, possibly in childbirth (son Samuel was
born
in that year).
"William remarried, marrying Elizabeth
Galloway in about 1836, with whom he had
an
additional five children (5 in Indiana, and the last in Iowa, in 1862).

first white child had been born in Iowa in 1842). He settled there, and finished
raising
his family.His sons and daughters married, and in 1865 were still living in
Iowa.
"In 1865, about two-thirds of William's
family decided to move themselves and their
families
to Oregon, joining a wagon train on the Oregon Trail. William, by then 73
years
old, joined them. Sons John, Samuel,
and William Jr., and daughters Hannah
and
Mahala and their families all went - but not all got there. William E.'s son
John
died of
typhoid fever on the South Fork of the Platte River, in the Nebraska Territory,
on
July 14, 1865. His widow and children split off at that point, going on to
California*.
The
remainder, including father/grandfather William, went on to Yamhill, Oregon,
where
they settled, lived, and died. William
passed on in about 1875. His very full life
had
included two wives, eleven children, god knows how many grandchildren, and four
major
emigrations: Virginia to Kentucky (abt.
1796 with his parents); Kentucky to
Indiana,
1810; Indiana to Iowa, 1851; Iowa to Oregon, 1865."
*Note:
According to another report, the group had to spend the winter in Salt
Lake
City.
The following spring, Samuel and his family, including father/grandfather
William,
continued
on to Oregon. Mary Isabell, John's widow, her five children, mother Isabell
Akers,
and brothers Thomas and John Akers and their families all went south through
Las
Vegas and settled in southern California.

"The
name of McKinley has of late years assumed something of a historic significance
in
this land of ours for it is linked in the public memory with the remembrance of
a
martyred
President. It is but fitting that this should be so. And yet the family name
and
traditions
go back beyond that towering figure of recent years, across the Atlantic and
across
the centuries, to find an ancestor of distinction and merit.
"The
first to emerge out of the twilight of tradition with a definite record is the
figure
of a
Scotch Covenanter, who, when the vicissitudes of the times made it necessary
for
him,
went from his native land across to Ireland; thence in after years to the United
States.
Two of his sons, David and James McKinley, settled in Shelby County, Kentucky,
and
came in after years to the spot in Clark County, Indiana, where Borden now
stands.
"David
shortly after went northward to South Bend, and thence to Canton, Ohio, while
James
remained and made Wood Township his future home. David McKinley, as may
be
surmised, was the great-grandfather of President McKinley. James McKinley
reared
six
sons: James, John, Thomas, William, Jeremiah and Alexander. ..."

"History
of the McKinley's, By Malinda (McKinley) Kelly, As Given to her granddaughter
Bertha
(Kelly) McKinley:
"James
McKinley I and William McKinley, brothers, of Scotch-Irish decent, came from
Omagh,
in County Tyrone. Ulster Ireland, as British soldiers to fight in the American
Revolution.
They came down to Valley Forge, and when they saw the American
soldiers
fighting, barefooted and ragged, they decided the American cause must be
right
or they couldn't fight so bravely that way. They secretly made it up, among
themselves,
to flee the British and go over to the Americans.
"When
they were sent to the spring to get water, they filled their buckets and set
them
down,
and fled toward the American camp, with their hands up, and gave themselves
over
to fight for the American cause. When the war was over, they came through
Valley
Forge, James I went to Kentucky and we think William went into Ohio and was
the
ancestor of President William McKinley. Ten of our presidents' ancestors came
from
Omagh,
Ireland.
"James
McKinley met Jemima Kendall in Kentucky, and they were married in Jefferson
County
Kentucky on January 18, 1789. In the early eighteen hundreds, they came
from
Kentucky to Indiana and settled on the knob's south of Borden called Pleasant
Ridge.
There they lived until their death, and are buried in the Old McKinley-Packwood
cemetery
at the top of Pleasant Ridge Knob.
James
McKinley I was killed by a fall from a spirited horse. His head struck a white
oak
root,
breaking his neck, in 1830. The children of James McKinley I and Jemina
(Kendall)
McKinley
were; John, Thomas, Nancy, lsabell, James II, Elizabeth, Jeremiah,
Alexander,
Jemima, William, Mary and two infants that died. ..."

"McKinley
Ancestors, Compiled by Cecil E. Tharp, A McKinley Family History, Early
Ancestry
"The
early ancestors of the McKinleys were Scottish Highlanders, a race of men
distinguished
for the strength with which they fought and over come the hardships of
their
surroundings. Bred in the fastness of the Caledonian Mountains, where Nature
offered
little chance to earn a living and few of the comforts of life, these people,
struggled
bravely to maintain their homes. They defended with fierce resistance their
property
and possessions against encroachments of the greedy barons of the Lowland.
These
Highlanders became famous, not only as fighting men, but as patriots, ready to
lay down
their lives at a moment's notice to defend their homes, their families, and
their
native land.
"When
the descendants of these people emigrated to America, as many of them did,
they
did not escape the hardships of life. Conditions were different, but the battle
for
existence
continued. When the Revolutionary began, these Highlander descendants
again
showed their inbred patriotism in support of independence from England.

If we
do share the same ancestry as William McKinley, II, 25th President of the
United
States,
some reports have traced this line back to Duncan MacDuff, Thane of Fife, who
reportedly
slew MacBeth. These reports are located

35. Jamima* KENDALL was born on 20 Nov 1770 in
Aquia Creek, Stafford Co., Virginia. She died on 17 Feb 1842 in Wood Twp.,
Clark Co., Indiana. She was buried in McKinley-Packwood Cemetery, Wood Twp.,
Clark Co., Indiana.
Jamima
also had two infants who died.
36. James H.* MCCUTCHEON was born about 1764 in
Augusta Co., Virginia. He died on 2 Nov 1822 in Lafayette Twp., Floyd Co.,
Indiana. He married Elizabeth* HUNTER on 15 Nov 1786 in Augusta Co., Virginia.
From
the book by M.L. McCutchan, Chapter 4, The Direct Line - McCutchans
"James was the eldest son of William and
Eleanor Fulton McCutchan. We don’t know
James’
birth date, but it must have been around 1760-1765. He married Elizabeth
Hunter
in Augusta County, Virginia, on November 15, 1786. They moved west - a
momentous
event in our history, for it marks the first move in 50 years, and the
beginning
of the dispersal of the tightly knit clan.
James and Elizabeth headed west -
to Bourbon
County, Kentucky. (note* from Chapter 11 below) ... James’ son Samuel
(our
direct line) was born in Kentucky on January 6, 1797.
*Chapter 11- Kentucky and Tennessee - The
Way West "... James McCutchan,
headed
for Bourbon County some time between 1787 and 1792. (William Eldon, b.
1792,
was also born in Virginia according to his children's census records.)
"The move to Kentucky was not to be
their last. James and Elizabeth are
also
among
the McCutchans (and the first in our direct line) who blazed the trail to
Indiana.
The
first to go (at least the first we know of) was James’ brother, William. Carol
Darnell,
in her excellent book on the McCutchan family, quotes the History of Ohio
Falls
Counties as follows: “In 1806 there came a William McCutchan and his two sons,
Samuel
and James”.
"William’s brother, [our] James,
followed in about five years, heading to the Wabash
River
area of Indiana Territory, engaging in the Battle of Tippecanoe in 1811. ...
James,
fighting Indians in Indiana, liked the country, but apparently didn’t like the
Indians
or the war with them. Again quoting
Carol Darnell’s book: “Getting tired of
harassment
from the Indians after having six horses shot out from under him, (he)
determined
to return to Virginia. Stopping in the
Falls area of Indiana at his brother
William’s
place, he decided to stay, and became the first teacher on Indian Creek, as
well
as in the Scott settlement (Scottsville) on Section 25 of Lafayette
township.”
Though
we’re not certain, it is at this point that he presumably brought his family
from
Kentucky.
The move from Bourbon County was not a long one - about a hundred miles.
His
son, Samuel, would have been 16, and it is assumed that he made the move also -
although
Samuel returned to Kentucky at least once - and perhaps twice.
"Land patents were awarded to James
McCutchan in 1813 for 160 acres in Greenville
township,
and in 1819 in the adjoining Lafayette township. James was appointed
Inspector
of Elections when Greenville township was organized in 1819, and served on
the
County Board of Commissions that year.
Also in 1819, he wrote to his cousin
“Elder
Billy” McCutchan, still in Virginia, regarding the estate of James’ brother
John,
who
had been killed in 1814 in the war. (See note** and letter below.)
"Located in what is now Floyd County,
Indiana, Big Indian Creek is near what is now
New
Albany, just across the state line from Louisville, Kentucky. Louisville,
Kentucky
was the
frontier at the time. What is now Floyd
County, Indiana is just across the
Ohio
River. My guess is that they didn’t
wait for the Louisiana Purchase, in 1803; if
they
had, the land just across the river would no longer have been available. So the
McCutchans
moved - and found themselves on the frontier, yet again.
James
and Elizabeth died in Floyd County - James in 1822 and Elizabeth in 1824. Both
are
buried in New Albany. They had lived
and fought on three frontiers in their
lifetimes
- in Virginia, in Kentucky, and in Indiana."
**In 1814, James brother John died in the
War of 1812 in New Orleans and in 1819,
word
reached James that John's estate was settled and ready to be distributed. He
wrote
the following letter to Elder Billy.
James was a first cousin to "Elder Billy"
because
their mothers, Elizabeth and Eleanor Fulton, were sisters. In addition their
grandfathers
Pioneer John (in Elder Billy's case) and Pioneer Samuel (in James' case)
were
either brothers or cousins.

70. Thomas* KENDALL was born on 27 Mar 1742 in
Overwharton Parish, Stafford Co., Virginia. He died on 2 Mar 1814 in Franklin
Co., Kentucky. He married Nancy* DAVIS.
From:
"The Kendall Family History" By Denise Kelley Mortorff, Ellen Kendall
Kelley,
Elma
Jane Richardson Scott; Privately printed, c 1989
"Thomas
became the oldest living child by virtue of his brother Jesse dying in
infancy.
Thomas
is believed to have lived for a period of time in Fauquier and removed to
"Old"
Jefferson
County, Kentucky. While in Kentucky he
lived in the counties of Jefferson,
Shelby,
Nelson and Franklin where he died in 1814.
He married a Nancy Davis and
they
had eleven children that can be identified, possibly 13."
71. Nancy* DAVIS was born in 1744/1746 in Stafford
Co., Virginia.
72. Lt. William* MCCUTCHEON was born in 1739 in
Augusta Co., Virginia. He died on 27 Dec 1785 in Augusta Co., Virginia. He
married Eleanor* FULTON in Aug 1763 in Augusta Co., Virginia.
From the
book by M.L. McCutchan, Chapter 4, The Direct Line - McCutchans:
"William, born 1740, is usually
referred to as “Lieutenant William McCutchan”, in
order
to identify him among the several other William McCutchans living about the
same
time. Assuming that the mysterious Charles McCutchan (1736-1814) buried in
Glebe
Cemetery is not a son of Samuel and Frances Noble McCutchan, William was the
eldest. William appears to have been somewhat
different from his father, Samuel. He
did
not remain a farmer, but became a merchant; and he died early, reportedly
murdered
in 1786.
"William married Eleanor Fulton,
maintaining a family relationship that went back all
the
way to Ireland. The Fultons, Finleys,
and several families of McCutchans lived
together
in Ireland (a clan). They were all
related by blood, but not so closely that
they
could not intermarry. And intermarry
they did. William married Eleanor, and
William’s
cousin, John the Pioneer’s son Samuel, married Eleanor’s sister, Elizabeth, in
1753. The latter became the parents of yet another
William - “Elder Billy” McCutchan,
thus
adding to the complexity of telling them all apart.
"Our William was occasionally a soldier,
called to active duty in the militia several
times
over an extended period. As a very young man (still almost a boy) he fought
Indians
under General Braddock; he was a Lieutenant in Colonel Bouquet’s expedition
against
the Ohio Indians in 1764; and he participated in the Battle of Point Pleasant
in
1774. It should be noted that it’s possible that
Lieutenant William’s war record (and
Lieutenant
William) may have ended right there. A
monument at Point Pleasant lists
him
among those killed and buried in a common grave there. I have seen and
photographed
this monument, but I don’t believe it.
We’re nearly certain that this is a
mistake;
our Lieutenant William went on to amass a considerable record after that.
For
starters, William went on to fight in the Revolutionary War, 1775-1782. The
problem
is that there were at least three William McCutchans in the Revolution, all
related. We have a list of battles, and a list of
Williams, but we can’t match them up
exactly. One William drove General Washington’s wagon
for three years (pretty sure
that’s
not our William - but his cousin).
Another William fought Hessians in New
Jersey
(where Washington crossed the Delaware), and was present at the siege of
Cornwallis
at Yorktown, which ended the Revolutionary War. This was probably not
“our”
William, either. “Our” William was
ordered south, with Col. Christian’s unit, to
defend
the Holston River area in the summer of 1775; Indians in that area, supported
by
the British, were committing atrocities against the settlers. The remainder of
Lieutenant
William’s war record is unclear. Col.
Christian’s unit was present at the
battle
of King’s Mountain, one of the key engagements of the Revolutionary War, and
there
was a William McCutchan present. ...
**See note below for DAR records
"Unlike his father, William was both a
borrower and a lender (not surprising, since he
was,
unlike his father, a merchant). We find
the following court cases which involve
him
as a creditor or as a debtor (see the extracts from Chalkley’s “Chronicles of the
Scotch-Irish
Settlement in Virginia”, below):
"1764.--Michael
Harper, debtor to William Christian. August 23, to James Bodkin;
August
27, to Abram Hempenstall; to David Fraime; to Vance and Doake; to Lieut.
William
McCutcheon; to Edward Hynds; August 30, to Lieut. William McCutcheon; to
James
McCutcheon; to John Millar; to Thomas Rhoads; to William Black; September 4,
to
Jean Graham; to Francis Evick for funeral expenses. Contra: 1764, September 4,
by
42
days in service, at 1/6; by part of John
Miller's order rejected; by part of Rhoads'
order
rejected; by part of William Black's order rejected; by part of Jean Graham's
order
rejected; by bounty."
"August
1768: Mr. Wm. McCutchan, Dr., to John Handley. 1760. To 1 elk skin, 10/.
(Dr.
refers to debtor, not Doctor. We’ll
probably never know why our G5 Grandfather
owed
Mr. Handley 10 shillings for an elk skin - and didn’t pay him for 8
years."
"June
1769 - Wm. McCutcheon, security for Margaret Clark, admx. of her husband,
since
intermarried with John Smith, claims counter security."
"We don’t know what kind of man William
was. He was a leader in the community -
an
officer in the militia, a road surveyor, a surveyor of highways, and a
merchant. He
served
as guardian for orphaned children, and provided “security” (a form of counter-
signature)
for another widow (Margaret Clark). At
the same time, he occasionally had
debts;
and was on at least one occasion, the subject of an injunction, as follows:
"March
1768 - Wm. McCutcheon bound to peace versus James Cooper. (“Bound to
peace”
is understood to be a form of injunction, requiring William to avoid any form
of
contention
with said James Cooper.)"
"In 1785, William was reportedly
murdered. We don’t know the
circumstances of his
death. From the following court record, we know
that one couple was brought to trial
for
his murder - but that charges were apparently dismissed.
"January
1786 - Called Court on Thomas Torst and Sophia Torst, his wife, charged
with
murdering William McCutchan.--Discharged.
"...William and Eleanor are buried in
the North Mountain burying ground, with
William’s
parents."

Eighth Generation
140. William* KENDALL Jr. was born on 24 Jul
1717 in Washington Parish, Westmoreland Co, Virginia. He died on 2 Dec 1777 in
Cannon's Run, Stafford Co., Virginia. He married Jemima*KIRK on 10 May 1738 in
Aquia Church, Overwharton Parish, Stafford Co., Virginia.
From:
"The Kendall Family History" By Denise Kelley Mortorff, Ellen Kendall
Kelley,
Elma
Jane Richardson Scott; Privately printed, c 1989
"William
Kendall and Jemima Kirk were married and raised their family at Stafford
County.
It was a period of growth in the county. Most of the inhabitants were farmers,
although
there were also a few merchants and an ironworks. Farm land was used
primarily
for the raising of tobacco and other agricultural uses. Nearby Falmouth was a
thriving
center of trade and other business activity since it was a port of call.
Stafford
also
served as a direct point of access for ships from England and other places to
Virginia.
"Many
settlers were drawn to Stafford simply because of its accessibility to water.
It
wasn't
long however before it was clear that Stafford could only provide so much land
for
so many farmers. Average farm acreage ranged from 100 to 500 acres. The
number
of inhabitants in the 1760's was a few thousand.75 Since most immigrants and
residents
wanted farmland for their livelihood, the lack of land in Stafford caused
settlers
to look westward. Some land in Stafford was also found to be unusable since
tobacco,
a principal crop, had depleted the soil as an agricultural resource. Many
descendants
of early Stafford families left by 1840 as the Rappahannock River became
mud-filled,
rendering it unnavigable for ships. Fredericksburg, a short distance away
and
across the river, replaced Falmouth as the center of trade and business
declined
greatly
in Stafford.
"It
appears William was a farmer. He may be listed on a Stafford quit-rent roll for
the
years
of 1758 and 1760.76 His son Jeremiah states in the fall of l775, "I was
then
living
with my father who resided near the upper end of Stafford and within a few
miles
of said Capt. [William] Washington."
"This
Kendall generation stayed in the vicinity of Stafford until after the
Revolutionary
War.
There is evidence that some sons served in the War. Jeremiah, William and
Reubin
each served. Almost all of the children of William and Jemima can be
accounted
for to some extent. Four children are believed to have gone to Kentucky - -
Thomas,
John, William and Reubin; Samuel went to West Virginia.; Jeremiah relocated
to
Pennsylvania. Four may have remained in Virginia, --George in Fauquier County,;
Ann,
Lizy and Jesse in Stafford County; Mary Ann's whereabouts are unknown. William
and Jemima
are likely buried on what was once their land at Stafford County, Virginia.
From:
"The Kendall Family History" By Denise Kelley Mortorff, Ellen Kendall
Kelley,
Elma
Jane Richardson Scott; Privately printed, c 1989:
"The
Revoltionary War Pension of son Jeremiah Kendall states he received a letter in
May,
1778, annoucing that his father passed away at his home at Cannon's Run. This
may
be the burial place for William and Elizabeth Combs, also. Cannon's Run, a
watercourse
that passes through Stafford County is used to identify the area."
From
History of Ritchie County:
(Origin
of the ancestors of those who settled in Ritchie County, West Virginia)
"This
couple (William and Jemima) were the parents of ten children: Jesse, Thomas,
George,
Anne, John, William, Samuel, Mary Anne, Elizabeth, and Jeremiah. And one of
these
sons, which one cannot be determined, crossed the mountains from the "Old
Dominion"
and settled in Marion county [see above, Samuel], not far from the time of
the
birth of his youngest son, James Kendall, in 1784. His family consisted of six
other
sons,
besided James, who scattered to Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky (with perhaps an
exception
or two), but James remained at the old homestead in Marion county, where
he
died in 1868, and where he lies buried.
"Family

1-
Jesse Kendall born October 4, 1740

141. Jemima* KIRK was born in 1722 in Hanover
Parish, Richmond Co., Virginia. She died on 10 Feb 1777 in Overwharton Parish,
Stafford Co., Virginia. She was buried in Cannons Run, Stafford Co., Virginia.
In
the History of Ritchie County, a marriage date of 10 May 1738 is given, even
though
in a
transcription from the orginal Aquia Church records, a marriage date of 10 May
1748
is given (however, this date is probably wrong based on children's birth
dates.)
144. Pioneer Samuel* MCCUTCHEON was born about
1710 in Northern Ireland. He died in 1797 in Augusta Co., Virginia. He was
buried in North Mountain Burying Ground, Virginia. He married Frances Jenette*
NOBLE.
From the
book by M.L. McCutchan, Chapter 4, The Direct Line - McCutchans
"Samuel was born around 1710. He came to the colonies from Ireland,
probably
around
1729; ...
(Updated
information not from the book)
"I'm
now convinced that the McCutchans (Samuel, et.al.) came not from Scotland but
from
Northern Ireland - County Down, in the vicinity of Bangor Abbey and Gray Abbey,
on
the Ards Penninsula. It's the only place in Scotland or Ireland where you can
find
Finleys,
Fultons, and McCutchans occupying the same cemeteries. They were originally
from
Scotland, of course - and perhaps they responded to "Where are you
from?" with
their
original home. According to McCutchan
researchers in PA... they settled in
western
Lancaster County, on the east bank of the Susquehanna, around what is now
Harrisburg."
(From
the book...)
"Around 1739, Samuel married Frances
Jeanette Noble. She was daughter or
sister
(I
believe sister) of John Noble of Augusta County, Virginia. By this time Samuel had
made
his way down the Great Valley, like many others at the time, as far as Augusta
County,
one of the southern counties in the Shenandoah Valley. John Noble mentions
a
daughter, Jean Noble in his will; it appears that he named a daughter after his
sister,
Frances
Jeannette Noble.
"In 1742, Sam and Frances bought 600
acres of land from Benjamin Borden. The
land
was part of the Borden Grant, land originally awarded to Benjamin Borden by
Governor
Gooch of Virginia.
"Sam and Frances set about farming and
raising a family. One gets the
impression
that
Samuel’s priorities were, in descending order, (1) Presbyterian, (2) husband
and
father,
(3) McCutchan clansman, (4) farmer, and (5) soldier. Just about all the able-
bodied
men in Augusta County were part-time soldiers at the time; the land was still
hotly
disputed by the Indians - Mingos, Shawnees, Wyandots, and other tribes.
"Most of our understanding of Samuel is
based on records bearing his signature.
We
know
that he was an executor of brother James’ will (James’ widow was Griselda,
sister
of Patrick Campbell); we know he signed various petitions for roads in the
area,
and
that he became a trustee (in 1755) of the Old North Mountain Meeting House, the
first
Presbyterian church in the area. In
about 1759, Samuel sold some of his land to
his
son, William McCutchan.
"Samuel was an early settler. Augusta County was established in 1740, but
was not
organized,
and the court did not begin to function, until 1745. One of their first
actions
was to record Samuel’s deed, which had been registered on August 3, 1742.
"Samuel was neither a lender nor a
borrower. In the ensuing 50 years, in
which the
court
kept records and Sam was alive, there is but a single case in which he
contested
a
debt (and the debt was due to him):
"February 1763 - Samuel McCutchen vs.
John Risk.--To one cow sold you in 1740 for
which
you was to pay me 22 years afterwards 29 yards of O hundred linen, &c.
"Samuel served in three different
campaigns in the French and Indian War, and
furnished
provisions for the militia from time to time.
In 1765, Samuel presented his
claims
for supplies he had furnished to the Augusta County militia. In 1780, he was
allowed
50 acres of land for service in Captain Lewis’s Company of Rangers, in
1758.
"Some authorities claim Samuel was a
General, and use that title in referring to him.
It
seems unlikely. As late as 1758 he was
serving under a Captain (John Lewis); so if
he
then became a general, he did it very quickly, and at an advanced age. It is
possible
that he was assigned responsibility for the militia in the area during the
Revolution;
and that the job carried the largely honorary title of “General of
Militia”. It
doesn’t
really matter. Fighting was pretty
clearly #5 on Samuel’s priority list - he did it
when
necessary. That it was frequently
necessary was a characteristic of the times,
rather
than a characteristic of Sam." ...
"In 1768, with Samuel approaching the
age of 70, he and Frances began making
preparations
for their declining years. Samuel sold
150 acres of land to son Samuel, Jr.
, for
“five shillings and diverse and good causes done to me”, and to son John for an
unnamed
number of pounds sterling and “divers reasons and good causes done to me”.
At the same time, Samuel Jr. binds himself
£200, to take care of his father and
mother;
and Samuel Sr. binds himself to convey 20 acres to Samuel Jr. when Sam Sr.
is no
longer able to do for himself.
"Sam also gave up some of his community
duties. In June 1769, he resigned as
overseer
of roads, being replaced by John Buchanan.
In May 1774, he gave up duties
as a
road surveyor, being replaced by Robert Mitchell.
"Frances died in about 1791; and Samuel
in 1797. Both are buried in the Old
North
Mountain
burying ground. The meeting place there
has long since disappeared; and
the burying
ground is now a cow pasture. Many of
the gravestones have been
trampled;
others were used to build a foundation for a barn on a neighboring farm.
It’s
a shame. A monument has been raised on
the spot, identifying the McCutchans
buried
there."

"Finding
the Log Home of Samuel and Frances (Noble) McCutchan"
McCutchen
Trace Newsletter, Volume 24, Number 1, May 2000, by Sarah Splaun.
"Samuel and Frances (Noble) McCutchan
purchased 600 acres of land on Aug. 3,
1742
in the Borden Tract of Augusta county.This was purchased when Augusta county
was
still a part of Orange county, and the deed is recorded there. They had probably
been
living on the land much earlier than 1742 as land grants took time to process.
When
a settler first arrived, he quickly built a shelter for his family until a more
substantial
home could be constructed. Many built a small one room log house and
then
added to that structure later. Somewhere on those first 600 acres of land,
Samuel
built
his log home. On August 21, 1746, he sold 298 1/2 acres of the original 600 to
James
Shields.
"On May 16, 1768, Samuel Sr. made a
binding contract with Samuel Jr. in that
Samuel
Jr. would care for his father in his old age. Samuel Jr. would let his father
have
twenty
acres of clear land for his lifetime to use and dispose of the produce for
himself
during
his lifetime, and he was to have ten acres of meadow of his choice. Also,
Samuel
Jr. was to keep his mother and father in food and clothes if they were not able
to do
for themselves. Likewise. they were to possess their own dwelling house for
term
of
life, the half of the barn, and other buildings. They were to possess their own
plenishings
and instruments for work and to have the benefit of their orchard to do
with as
they saw fit. His father was to keep the stock that he had which included a
small
number of cows, hogs, and sheep. An endorsement on the above bond stated
that
Samuel Jr. was to have the said 20 acres of land when Samuel Sr. was not able
to
do
for himself. Samuel Jr. was Captain
Samuel who married Rebekah Downey.
"On February 14, 1791, Samuel Sr. sold
to Samuel Jr. one hundred and fifty acres of
land
for thirty pounds "being part of plantation whereon the said McCutchan
lives on in
Augusta
County part of Bordens Tract and on the head waters of Middle River Bounded

She died about 1791 in Augusta Co., Virginia.She was buried in North Mountain

"James Fulton (b. ca.1690, d. 1753) and
his wife Sarah, both were born in Northern
Ireland,
believed to have married there, and originally settled in the northern colonies
in
the early 1730's, probably Paxton Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. A
great
many of the early residents in Augusta County had first settled in southeastern
Pennsylvania
or New England and followed the traditional pathways southward in
pursuit
of warmer weather and cheap land.
James Fulton settled in Augusta Co., Virginia
on a 637 1/2 acre farm in Beverly
Manor
and received title to that land on 25 March 1742 after paying nineteen pounds
to
Beverly. He was a member of the South Mountain Presbyterian congregation and in
1742
was a member of Capt. John Christian's militia company.
The clan leader in Ireland was clearly Hugh

of
the families descended from James Fulton of Augusta County, Virginia."

"ANDREW
MOORE, the immigrant, was the son of James Moore of Antrim County,
Ireland,
and the grandson of John Moore of Scotland, who emigrated from near
Glasgow
to Ireland, June, 1612. _ "Andrew Moore was born June, 1688 in Antrim
County,
Ireland. He died 7-5-1753 at Sadsbury, Chester County, Pennsylvania. He is
buried
at Friends' Burying Ground, Old Sadsbury, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. He
married
twice. He married first, before he left Ireland, in 1715 Margaret, dau. of
Guyon
and
Margaret (Henderson) Miller. (The Millers left Armaugh County, Ireland in 1702
and settled
in Kennett Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania.) This is a conclusion
of
John Andrew Moore Passmore, the compiler of the Genealogy of Andrew Moore. On
the
other hand Albert Cook Myers in "Immigration of Irish Quakers"
considers this
conclusion
an error and states that: "Andrew Moore and Margaret Wilson, both of
Dunclady
Meeting were 'marriet att ye home of Katherine Henderson in Dunclady
(County
of Antrim) ye 27 day of 2nd mo. 1715 as ye certificate may appear'."
(Minutes
of
Ulster Meeting, Ireland.) (His wife MARGARET died probably about 1722 or 1723,
shortly
before his emigration.)
"Andrew
Moore married second, 4-24-1725, in Chester County, Pennsylvania, Rachel
Halliday,
a daughter of William and Deborah Halliday of West Meath, Ireland and New
Garden
Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania. Rachel was born 7-16-1702 in
Ireland
and died after 10-17-1784, (the date of her will).
"Andrew
Moore emigrated in 1723 and landed at New Castle, Delaware, 8-3-1723. At a
monthly
meeting, held 6 mo. 8, 1724, at New Garden, Chester County, Pennsylvania,
he
produced a certificate to this meeting from a meeting held at Ballanacree, in
the
County
of Antrim in northern Ireland. He settled on both sides of Octoraro Creek, now
partly
in Sadsbury in Chester County and partly in Sadsbury, Lancaster County. He
erected
a tub mill near the present town of Atglen, Chester County. His children and
the
children of his son, David, were born on this estate at Sadsbury. He was
instrumental
in establishing the Sadsbury Friends' Meeting House. He was an overseer
of
the Meeting. From 1738 to 1750, he was commissioned to do many things for the
Meeting.
He wrote both prose and verse. He was esteemed for his high character.
Apparently
he had business ability, leaving, as shown by his will, a considerable
property."
http://www.atglen.org/history.html
"In
the history of Atglen , stories have come down to us that at the Greenwood
Forge
location,
Indians slept by the fireplace of Andrew Moore's home, which was built after
he
came to America in 1723."
http://www.chescommunity.com/Jeanne_Ruczhak_Eckman/column.htm
"One
early settler was Andrew Moore, an Irish emigrant. Born in 1688, Moore came to
America
in 1723 and settled in the area now known as Atglen. He had a grant for 900
acres
signed by William Penn. Moore is best known for running the Greenwood Forge
Mansion,
located on Swan Road within the borough limits. In 1968, ... direct
descendents
of Moore owned it. The remnants of this are still visible today provided
you
go slowly around the serpentine bends there."

“In
1724 ANDREW MOORE and SAMUEL MILLER petitioned for the establishment of a
Particular
Meeting in Sadsbury township, and for the erection of a meeting house. This
was
accomplished in 1725, a log house being then raised."

JCraven
Note:
Several
branches of our family were Quakers who kept great records (John MOORE
and
Mary FENWICK; Joseph DICKINSON and Elizabeth MILLER; Gayen MILLER and
Margaret
HENDERSON); therefore an abundance of information could be found. One
aspect
of the Quakers was that they married from within their Society, so not only was
there
an abundance of information, but the members of the various congregations
intermarried
with one another to form large extended families who often migrated
together. If they married outside of the Society, they
were disowned.
Another
aspect of the Quakers was their unique method of dating events: http://www.
illuminatrix.com/andria/quaker.html
"They
did not use names for days of the week or months of the year since most of
these
names were derived from the names of pagan gods. A date such as August 19,
1748
will never be found. Rather it would be written as "19th da 6th mo
1748."
Sometimes
this will be written as 6mo 19da 1748. Why 6th month since August is the
8th month?
The Quakers, along with everyone else in the American Colonies and
England,
did not begin using the Gregorian calendar until 1752. Under the Julian
calendar
the year began on March 25th; March was the first month and February was
the
twelfth month. This is something of a problem when an event occurred in the
months
of January, February or up to March 25th, for then the date is given as 1748/
1749.
Such a dating practice satisfied everyone, including civil authorities, if for
instance
an inheritance was being established."

From
"The Dickinson Family" pg 6-9:
“Joseph
Dickinson sailed for America in 1725 as nearly as we can learn, when he was
18 or
19 years of age. Alexander Harris has included in his Biographical History of
Lancaster
Co., PA, 1872, p. 160, a contribution of Isaac Walker, a descendant of
Joseph
Dickinson:
"Joseph
Dickinson emigrated about the year 1725 to this country from Cumberland,
England
by way of Ireland. The ship on which he came, a passenger, having struck on
a
rock, causing it to leak so rapidly that it was impossible to keep the vessel
afloat, and
was
about given up as lost, and the passengers were preparing to meet their fate,
when
Joseph Dickinson volunteered to go down under the water on the outside of the
ship
and stop the leak, which hazardous undertaking he accomplished by inserting
pieces
of dried beef in the crevices.
"He was united in marriage to Elizabeth,
daughter of Gayen Miller of Kennett, Chester
County,
in the year 1732, when he removed and settled in Salisbury Township. He had
two
sons, Joseph and Gaius, and seven daughters. His son Gaius and his grandson
Joseph
continued to reside on the property, while his son Joseph purchased land and
resided
in Sadsbury. He was a man well educated and was an esteemed and valuable
member
of the denomination of Friends."
"He moved from Cumberland, England to
Edenderry, Ireland. Edenderry was at that
time
in Kings County but is now in Offaly County and is located about 30 miles west
of
Dublin,
Ireland. A Quaker, Joseph Dickinson first joined the Mount Mellick Monthly
Meeting
at Haddonfield, New Jersey. He ultimately moved to a farm at Sadsbury,
Lancaster
County, Pa.
"Joseph Dickinson went first to
Haddonfield, NJ. He had brought with him a
certificate
from the Mt. Mellick Monthly meeting. It is not until 1732 that we find record
of
him in Chester County, PA. The Quaker records are rather elaborate. The
certificate
to
Pennsylvania:
"From our monthly Meeting held at
Haddon's field in the county of Gloucester and
Province
of New Jersey this 10th day of the 5th month, A.D. 1732, to the Monthly
Meeting
to be held at Concord or elsewhere in the County of Chester in Pennsylvania,
sendeth
greetings: Dear Friends, these may acquaint you that the bearer hereof,
Joseph
Dickinson, had desired a certificate of this meeting in order to joyne himself
to
your
meeting. Now these may certifice that due and orderly inquiry has been made
and
according to the best of our inspection he hath been of an honest, sober, and
orderly
conversation whilst among us and also clear of any Ingagements (sic) upon the
account
of marriage with any in these parts. So we recommend him to your Care,
Desiring
his further Growth in the truth and Remain your friends and brethren in the
Same.
Signed in and on behalf of said Meeting. (by 22 names)". (The above
Certificate
was
deposited with Newark, [now Kennett] Monthly Meeting.)
"From the Newark Monthly Meeting, 2nd day
of the 7th month, 1732: "Joseph
Dickinson
and Margaret [mother] and Elizabeth Miller appeared here and declared their
intention
of taking each other in marriage, which is passed for the first time, and the
young
man produced a Certificate of his Conversation and clearness on account of
marriage
to this meeting to the satisfaction thereof."
"From the Newark Monthly Meeting, 7th
day of the 8th month, 1732: "Joseph
Dickinson
and Elizabeth Miller appeared here and signified they continued their
intention
of marriage with Each Other, it being the second time and the young man
produced
a certificate to the satisfaction of our Last meeting and having consent of
parents
and parties to accomplish their marriage according to truth and appoints Joh
Heald
and Tho. Carlton to see the orderly accomplishment thereof and make report to
our
next monthly meeting, and return the marriage certificate to be recorded."
"At the next meeting, 4th day of the 9th
month 1732: "The Friends appointed to see
the
orderly accomplishment of the marrieage of Joseph Dickinson and Elizabeth
Miller
make
report it was accomplished according to good order." The marriage
certificate
being
recorded by Newark (now Kennett) Monthly Meeting shows that Joseph
Dickinson
of Calne in ye county of Chester and Province of Pennsylvania, smith,
married
on the 25th day of the 8th month 1732 at Kennett Meeting." (Signed by 47
witnesses)
From
"Seven Hundred Ancestors," pgs.30/31:
“Joseph Dickinson sailed for America in 1725.
He first settled in New Jersey but on
July
8, 1732 we find a record of him at a Quaker meeting in Chester Co., Penn. On
Aug.
25, 1732 in Chester Co. he married Elizabeth the daughter of Gayen and

From
"Joseph Dickinson and Family" pg. 101:
"The marriage of Joseph Dickinson and
Elizabeth Miller is recorded in many places
and
in a number of books - I have quoted three. It must have been an important
marriage,
with two such prominent and worthy families giving the foundation for our
Dickinson
line in America, we have both opportunity and obligation to be honest,
intelligent,
and industrious citizens.
"Joseph Dickinson purchased land on
Pequea Creek in Salisbury Township, Lancaster
Co.,
PA. That the utmost good feeling existed between Joseph Dickinson and Gayen
Miller
is evidenced by the numerous deeds given by Gayen Miller, father of Joseph's
wife
Elizabeth, to Joseph Dickinson. The earliest of which we found recorded in
Lancaster
County was dated 16 August 1738 and was followed by deeds in 1739 and
1742. The last deed was for land granted to Gayen
Miller by "John Penn, Thomas
Penn,
and Richard Penn, Esquires, true and resolute Propreitoies and Governors - in
chief
of ye Province of Pennsilvania x x x unto ye ad Gayen Miller."
188. Morris* MORRIS was born about 1712 in
Gwynedd, Philadelphia Co., Pennsylvania. He died on 11 Nov 1767 in Hilltown,
Bucks Co., Pennsylvania. He was buried in Hilltown Baptist Cemetery, Bucks Co.,
Pennsylvania. He married Gwently* THOMAS about 1736 in Bucks Co.,Pennsylvania.

"The
Morrises were English Friends, who arrived shortly after William Penn, and
settled
in
Byberry. It is not known at what time they came into this country, but Thomas
Morris
was in Hilltown before 1722, and some of the family were in New Britain as
early
as 1735, and probably earlier. Morris Morris, a son of Cadwallader, and
grandson
of
the first immigrant, married Gwently, daughter of the Reverend William Thomas,
from
which union come the Morrises of this county. They had nine children. Benjamin,
the
third son, became quite celebrated as a manufacturer of clocks, and
occasionally

the old- fashioned, two-story affairs of his make, with the letters "B.

engraved
on a brass plate on the face, is met with. He was the father of Enos Morris,
who
learned his father's trade, but afterward studied law with Judge Ross, at
Easton,
and
was admitted to the bar about 1800. He was a leading member of the Baptist
church,
and a man of great integrity of character. Benjamin Morris, sheriff of the
county
nearly half a century ago, was a brother of Enos. Enoch Morris, next younger
than
Benjamin, had a son James, who fell into the hands of the Algerines, and was
one
of those liberated by Commodore Decatur. He married a Miss Hebon, of
Philadelphia,
and settled at Cincinnati, and one of their sons graduated at West Point."

"One
of the earliest settlers of Charlestown, long before it was divided into
Phoenixville,
Charlestown
and Schuylkill, was Francis Buckwalter. He came to Pennsylvania in 1720
with
five adult children to escape severe religious persecution in Germany. (A
favorite
family
story is that in order to read his Bible he had to hide it in a cow trough.)
That
year
he bought from David Lloyd 650 acres in what has been called the Manavon tract
(corruption
of an Indian name) in North Phoenixville. It was in 1765 that his son,
Johannes,
bought the present Charlestown township property, 102 acres, from Lewis
Morgan
-..."
http://www.bookwalterwines.com/about/
The
Bookwalter family began tilling the soils of Europe well before the first
generation
stepped
foot in the United States at the beginning of the 18th century. The name
Bookwalter,
descended from Bouch-Walder, is Swiss Mennonite and means "Tender of
Beechwood
Forests".
Frantz
Bouch-Walder, the first generation to move to America came from Canton Jura,
Switzerland,
in 1709 and first purchased farm land in Pennsylvania known as "The
Manavon
Tract" from David Lloyd the first justice in Chester County, Pennsylvania.
The
Bookwalter
family slowly migrated west spending many generations in the Midwest in
and
around Illinois and Nebraska always staying closely woven into the fabric of
agriculture.

From
THE HISTORY OF CHESTER COUNTY, by Futhey and cope:
"In
1713, the Manavon tract, at what is now Phoenixville, was patented to David
Lloyd.
The
earliest settler upon it was Francis Buckwalter, to whom Lloyd sold 650 acres
in
1720.
Buckwalter, a protestant refugee from Germany, was subjected while in the
Fatherland
to many persecutions because of his faith, and it is a matter of family
history
that he was compelled to read his bible by stealth, concealed in a cow trough.
He
finally concluded to flee, and after leaving his home was pursued for 3 days by
his
vindictive
catholic brothers, who were determined upon his destruction. His children
were Joseph,
Jacob, Johannes, and Yose, and from him are descended all of the
Buckwalters
in the county."

and children left Amsterdam on the ship, John Chappel Laurel, Sept. 1720.

"Ulrich
and Daniel, brothers, are the Colonial ancestors of the Longenecker family in
America.
Their descendants are numerous in Eastern Pennsylvania in the Counties of
Montgomery,
Chester, and Lancaster. They emigrated
from 1722 to 1733, and it is
probable
that some of them were in and around London eight to ten years before
sailing
for the American Colonies. They were Huguenots, and in Europe, as well as
here,
were German Quakers and affiliated and worshiped with the English Quakers.
Their
ancestors fled from the Spanish Inquisition, and, after the Massacre of St.
Bartholomew,
escaped to Switzerland and settled in and near to Zurich."
"Daniel
1st had four sons - David, John, Henry, and Jacob; and two daughters,
Elizabeth
and Magdalena; in all two fathers and nine sons, making eleven immigrants
[made
the trip] from Europe settling in the new Colonies... "
"...
the descendants of Daniel, changed their names to Longacre. The descendants of
Ulrich[1]
in Lancaster County and their descendants elsewhere generally retained the
name
of Longenecker; one branch, however, adopted Longnecker, and a few
Longanaker,
and under these names their descendants are residing..."
"The
biography of Daniel[1] presents an interesting and active life amongst the
earlier
Colonial
settlers in Eastern Pennsylvania. His mission as preacher amongst the
Mennonites
gave him charge of the Manatawny district. At what time his charge began
is
not known; but it is known that he and Jacob Bechtle (now Bechtel) were
representatives
in the Convention of Quakers held at Germantown in September, 1727."
"May
1, 1733, Patent Book A, Vol. 6, p. 174, Philadelphia. John Penn, Thomas Penn et
al.
conveyed to Daniel Longeneker 230 acres of land on the southeast side of the
Schuylkill
River, then Philadelphia County, at Mingo Creek, and extending along said
river
southeasterly to the land now known as the Almshouse Farm at Black Rock. A
reference
to this grant is recited in deed recorded at Norristown, in Deed Book No. 13,
page
260, dated March 30, 1756, in which the heirs of said Daniel, deceased, are the
grantors
to their brother David. The time of his death is not known exactly, but it is
probable
that it occurred in 1756, as his widow, Elizabeth, then renounced her right to
administration,
and to David, the eldest son, letters issued, with John Bookwalter and
Jacob
Hoch (now High) sureties, dated October 12th, 1756. To this bond he signed his
name
in German, David Langenacker, a (diaresis) is soft and pronounced ae
(Laengenacker).
On the 13th day of November, A. D. 1756, Elizabeth, the widow of
said
Daniel, and his children, to wit: Elizabeth, wife of Jacob High; Magdalene,
wife of
John
Buckwalter; Ann, wife of Philip High; Mary, wife of Valentine Clemmer; Jacob
Longacre,
Jr., and the widow and children of his son John, deceased, joining therein;
Susanna,
late the widow of said John, married to Jacob Longenecker; Elizabeth,
married
to Nicholas Cressman; Catherine, Daniel, and Sarah, conveyed said 220 acres
of
land to his said son David."

JCraven
Note:
Several
branches of our family were Quakers who kept great records (John MOORE
and
Mary FENWICK; Joseph DICKINSON and Elizabeth MILLER; Gayen MILLER and
Margaret
HENDERSON); therefore an abundance of information could be found. One
aspect
of the Quakers was that they married from within their Society, so not only was
there
an abundance of information, but the members of the various congregations
intermarried
with one another to form large extended families who often migrated
together. If they married outside of the Society, they
were disowned.
Another
aspect of the Quakers was their unique method of dating events: http://www.
illuminatrix.com/andria/quaker.html
"They
did not use names for days of the week or months of the year since most of
these
names were derived from the names of pagan gods. A date such as August 19,
1748
will never be found. Rather it would be written as "19th da 6th mo
1748."
Sometimes
this will be written as 6mo 19da 1748. Why 6th month since August is the
8th
month? The Quakers, along with everyone else in the American Colonies and
England,
did not begin using the Gregorian calendar until 1752. Under the Julian
calendar
the year began on March 25th; March was the first month and February was
the
twelfth month. This is something of a problem when an event occurred in the
months
of January, February or up to March 25th, for then the date is given as 1748/
1749.
Such a dating practice satisfied everyone, including civil authorities, if for
instance
an inheritance was being established."

from a letter received from Mrs. Knox Taylor,
of
Santa Fe, NM, dated Aug. 29, 1930: "I am ever so glad to give information
regarding
our noble tribe of Miller to a relative, however many cousins removed. 'The
Millers
were not Welsh, but English from Warwickshire, Guys Cliff, Warwick Castle. A
cousin,
Betsey Downing, told my father, Llewellyn Miller, they were younger sons of
the
house of Warwick. My father discounted this although they have the family
names,
Robert,
Warwick and Guion, and thought their name 'Miller' came from their
occupation
at the famous Guys Cliff mill. Wales offered an asylum to the followers of
George
Fox and his associates - of William Penn. They were among the English Friends
who
emigrated here from Wales.' We find the name Guion spelled variously - Gayen,
Gaven,
Guyen, Guion- but his own signature was Gayen Miller. He is said by the chart
made
by Mr. Caleb S. Miller of Washington, D.C. to have come to America in
1688."

"Mr.
Thomas was one of the fathers of Hilltown, and one of the most reputable men
who
settled it. He was born in 1678, and came to America between 1702 and
1712._"
Missing
the vessel in which he had taken passage, he lost all his goods, and was
landed
at Philadelphia with his wife and one son, penniless. He first went to Radnor
township,
Delaware county, where he followed his trade, a cooper, and preached for a
few
years, when he removed to Hilltown, where he probably settled before 1720.
"He
became a conspicuous character, and influential, acquired a large landed
estate,
and
settled each of his five sons and two daughters on a fine farm as they married.
In
1737
he built what is known as the Lower meeting house, on a lot of four acres given
by
himself, where he preached to his death, in 1757. The pulpit was a large hollow
poplar
tree, raised on a platform, and in time of danger from the Indians he carried
his
gun
and ammunition to church with him, and deposited them at the foot of the pulpit
before
he ascended to preach. In his will Mr. Thomas left the meeting house, and the
grounds
belonging, to the inhabitants of Hilltown. This sturdy sectarian excluded
"
Papists,"
"Hereticks," and "Moravians" from all rights in the meeting
house and
grounds,
and "no tolerated minister," Baptist, Presbyterian, or other, was
allowed to
preach
there who shall not believe in the Nicene creed, or the Westminster Confession
of
Faith, or "who will not swear allegiance to a Protestant
king."_"His children married
into
the families of Bates, Williams, James, Evans, Days and Morris. Rebecca, the
daughter
of John, the second son of William Thomas, was the grandmother of [the late
*] John
B. Pugh, of Doylestown. The blood of William Thomas flows in the veins of
several
thousand persons in this and adjoining states. The following inscription was
placed
on the tombstone of William Thomas in the old Hilltown church:
"In yonder meeting-house I spent my
breath;
Now silent mouldering, here I lie in death;
These silent lips shall wake, and you
declare,
A dread Amen, to truths I published
there."

History
of Bucks County
"Rev.
William Thomas, or as he was more familiarly know, "Elder Thomas,"
the
paternal
ancestor of the Thomas family of Bucks County was born in the year 1678 in
Lanwenarth,
Merionethshire, Wales, (Llanwenarth, Monmouthshire, Wales) on the
border
of England. He belonged to a family that possessed considerable means, were
holders
of a considerable estate. His parents were members of a Baptist church in
Merioneth,
and he was reared in the tenets of that faith, and, receiving a superior
education
for his time, and being of a studious and pious disposition, he became a
speaker
in religious meetings of his sect which still a young man, and, though never an
ordained
minister, continued to administer to the spiritual needs of his neighbors
through
his entire life. (The Hilltown Baptist Church was founded in 1737 by Rev.
William
Thomas.)
"Rev.
Abel Morgan, for many years pastor of the Baptist church at Pennypack, and the
founder
of the Montgomery Baptist church, and also a native of Merioneth, was his
acquaintance
and friend. Prior to his coming to America his parents located on a farm
called
Blassaw of Wyn, in the parish of Bedwlldy, some distance from the place of his
nativity.
At the death of his parents he sold the patrimonial estate, and being
possessed
of sufficient means to settle himself comfortably in a new country where
land
was cheap, he made his preparations to embark for Pennsylvania.
"He
had married in 1710, Ann (maiden name not recorded), born in 1680, and his
eldest
child Thomas was born in Wales in 1711. In January 1711-12, he transported
his
household goods and his wife and infant child to Bristol, England, and, having
engaged
passage on a ship lying there bound for Philadelphia, had his goods, clothing
and
the greater part of his cash taken aboard. Being informed that the ship would
not
sail
for several days, he took his family to the country to await the day of
sailing.
Though
he returned before the appointed time, the ship had already sailed, though
still
in
sight. After an ineffectual attempt to overtake her, he was forced to await the
sailing
of a
later vessel. He and his family arrived in Philadelphia on February 14, 1712,
and,
though
he found the vessel there in which his goods had been transported, the
dishonest
master had absconded with everything of value he could lay his hands on,
and
he had the mortification of seeing his clothes on the backs of persons who had
bought
them of the dishonest master.
"Wholly
without funds or any worldly possessions, he was forced to look about for
means
of obtaining a livelihood. Fortunately, he had learned the useful craft of a
cooper,
and, meeting with a family by the name of Watkins, whom he had known in
the
old country, he obtained sufficient funds to pay for his passage and to equip
him in
a
modest way to follow his trade. In the latter part of the year 1713 he located
in
Radnor
township, now Deleware county, where he followed the trade of a cedar
cooper
for some time, returning later to the east side of the Schuylkill and locating
in
the
Northern Liberties.
"By
industry and shrewd business tact in the course of five years he accumulated
sufficient
funds to repay his benefactors and to warrant him in fulfilling his original
intention
of becoming a freeholder. At that time the township of Hilltown, though
already
surveyed, was held in large tracts of one thousand to three thousand acres by
a few
residents of Philadelphia and vicinity. Among these was Jeremiah Langhorne, of
Bucks
county, then chief justice of Pennsylvania. Of him Mr. Thomas purchased 440
acres
lying along the county line between Line Lexington and Telford, for
eighty-eight
pounds."

"Rev.
William Thomas was one of the many ancestors of prominent and munerous
families
which have lived in Bucks county, and also of one of several families in the
country,
bearing the name of Thomas. There is a commendable spirit, now of their
ancestry,
and to take pride and interest in the history of those who, bearing their
family
name, have preceded them in life's pilgrimage, and performed well their part in
the
labors and duties of their day and generation.
"From
William Thomas, the pioneer, has sprung a vast progeny. These have comprised
people
of diversified capabilities and characters, and pursuing their various careers
in
nearly
all ranks of American life. There have been farmers and preachers, teachers,
merchants,
and mechanics, lawyers, physicians, orators, judges and legislators; men
of
science and learning, editors, and those who have wielded the pen of the ready
writer.
Few remain in the vicinity of the early homes of the family, but are now
scattered
far and wide from the shores of the Atlantic to the Pacific, and over half the
States
of the American Union.
"William
Thomas was a high type of one of the five or six different races that peopled
Pennsylvania
in its Colonial days-----or the Welsh. They were not so numerous as the
English,
Scotch-Irish, or the German, but they came in very considerable numbers to
various
districts in the present counties of Delaware, Chester, Berks, Montgomery and
Bucks.
They were a thrifty, industrious, perservering, and comparatively intelligent
class
of people, and nearly all of religious training and tendencies. They were
almost
all
either Quakers or Baptists--non conformists in the old land to the established
religion
and rejecting all but the plainest forms of worship. In the worship of the
Baptists
the sermon was the main thing, and all forms were but preliminary and
subsidiary.
In common with the several other orthodox sects, they held, with some
variations,
the tenets of the old Calvanistic Creed.
"William
Thomas was born in Llanwarnath, Monmouthshire, Wales in 1678. It was his
fortune
that his family possessed somewhat of a competency and were freeholders,
while
so many of his countrymen were landless tenants. Their condition in life, as
well
as
his native aptitudes favored his obtaining an education superior to the average
of
the
peasant class. He also obtained a knowledge of a handicraft, or that of a
cooper.
"His
parents had passed from earth before 1710, and he remained in Wales until after
his
marriage and early manhood. He came to America during the winter of 1712. The
next
six years were mostly passed in the township of Radnor, now Delaware County,
where
he was employed at his trade, and engaged in recuperating from losses he had
previously
incured.
"Coming
to Hilltown in 1718, his first purchase of land, comprising 440 acres, bordered
the
county line, near where is now the village of Hockertown. Through this valley
ran
southward
one of the branches of the Neshaminy. Here he built his house and here he
dwelt,
and the house he erected stood till 1812. His purchases of other tracts
continued
down till 1728, for it was his aim to have a farm for each of his children.
These
purchases were six in number, comprising 1258 acres in one township, bought
at
the cost of L36. All was of wilderness land, upon which hard labor was
necessary to
clear,
and then make fruitful and valuable.
"From
the time of his coming, William Thomas had belonged to the mother church of
Montgomery,
established in 1719. He was a preacher before his emigration to America.
Besides
manifold secular labors, he was ever busy in promotong the religious life of
his
countrymen
in Hilltown, in prayer, and preaching at their various homes. For a time
they were
too poor and scattered to build a house of worship. Thomas soon had the
prefix
of Elder to his name, as was customary in those days as a term for the
neighbors.
So when the time became ripe he devoted a portion of these for their
benefit.
He gave the land, furnished the greater portion of the cost, and also the
labors
of
his own hands to build a place of worship, which was completed in 1737. Within
this
he
preached for the twenty years, or until his death in 1757, and wherein his own
son,
John
Thomas, followed him in his ministry.
"That
early church, and the manner of its erection, will always remain in men's
memories
as a memorial of the self-sacrificing devotion of its founder, and be a more
enduring
monument than the memorial stone which yet marks the place of his burial.
That
earlier structure stood until near the close of the Colonial period, It was
succeeded
in 1771 by a larger and more commodious building of stone, and the
present
modern building is the successor upon the site that has such a wealth of
scenic
prospects far and wide over the vale of The Neshaminy and the hills and dales
of
central Bucks county.
"In
this memorial, there is only space for a brief notice of the children of Rev.
William
Thomas,
of the localities in which they lived, and the family names of their
descendants.
These children were Thomas, John, Ephraim, Manasseh,William, Anna
and
Gwently. All married and all save one left posterity."

"John
Moore resided near Glasgow, Scotland.
Sixth month, 1612, he emigrated from
Scotland
to Ireland, locating with his family in the County of Antrim...
"The
Moores in Scotland were a sturdy, unyielding non-conformists who under no
circumstances
would yield either to the cajolery or threats of King James; hence their
removal
to Ireland in 1612, 9 years after the union of the Scottish and English thrones
by
the accession of James I, and 1 year after the translation of the Bible now
mostly
used
by Protestants, called, "King James" version."
"John*
Moore, the emigrant from Scotland (to Ireland), may have had a number of
children.
The only one amongst them of whom we have an accurate account was a
son,
James, who early joined the Society of Friends. (Quaker). At his house in Ireland,
Friends
frequently held meetings. He immigrated from Scotland to Glasgow to County
Antrim,
Ireland in June of 1812."
JCraven
Note:
Several
branches of our family were Quakers who kept great records (John MOORE
and
Mary FENWICK; Joseph DICKINSON and Elizabeth MILLER; Gayen MILLER and
Margaret
HENDERSON); therefore an abundance of information could be found. One
aspect
of the Quakers was that they married from within their Society, so not only was
there
an abundance of information, but the members of the various congregations
intermarried
with one another to form large extended families who often migrated
together. If they married outside of the Society, they
were disowned.
Another
aspect of the Quakers was their unique method of dating events: http://www.
illuminatrix.com/andria/quaker.html
"They
did not use names for days of the week or months of the year since most of
these
names were derived from the names of pagan gods. A date such as August 19,
1748
will never be found. Rather it would be written as "19th da 6th mo
1748."
Sometimes
this will be written as 6mo 19da 1748. Why 6th month since August is the
8th
month? The Quakers, along with everyone else in the American Colonies and
England,
did not begin using the Gregorian calendar until 1752. Under the Julian
calendar
the year began on March 25th; March was the first month and February was
the
twelfth month. This is something of a problem when an event occurred in the
months
of January, February or up to March 25th, for then the date is given as 1748/
1749.
Such a dating practice satisfied everyone, including civil authorities, if for
instance
an inheritance was being established."

"Authorities say that the name Dickinson
either comes from the Manor of Kenson, in
Yorkshire,
(England) or from the name de Caen (i.e., de Caen's son) or from Hugh
Dikenson
or Dicconsin, who was living in or near Leeds, England. Henry VI was a

was to go as far as his place [now Sumneytown Pike]. He was a tailor by trade,
a
Welshman
by birth, no doubt, and was probably advanced in years when he came. He
had
lived, previously, near Philadelphia. In February, 1708, he bought 300 acres of
land
in what is now Towamencin, of Griffith Jones, merchant, Philadelphia. The tract
lay
along William John's [Jones] land, and was therefore on the township line. In
1714
he
bought 500 acres more, near by, of George Claypoole, of Philadelphia, who, like
Griffith
Jones, was a speculative holder of the Towamencin lands. By 1713 he had
apparently
moved to Montgomery; in the deed from Claypoole he is described as "
yeoman,
of Montgomery."
"Edward
Morgan no doubt had several children. His sons probably received and held
his
Towamencin lands. In the list of 1734, for that township, there appear: Joseph
Morgan,
200 acres; Daniel Morgan, 200; John Morgan 100. In 1727, Morgan Morgan,
of
Towamencin, died, leaving a will, in which he mentions his wife Dorothy, his
brothers
Joseph, John and William, his two sons Edward and Jesse (both minors), and
his
niece Elizabeth, John's daughter."

"Bernard
Brocas, Master of the Horse to King Edward III, was the third son of Sir John

of Clewer, adjoining Windsor (Berks), and was born about 1330.
"Brocas
was a great friend and companion of the Black Prince. His father having been
a knight
in the service of Edward III, the two probably grew up together. During the
French
Wars, Bernard was present, with the Prince, at the Battle of Poitiers and,
almost
certainly, at Crécy and Najara too. After the Peace of Bretigny, Bernard, along
with
other members of his family, were employed in the settlement of Aquitaine,
where
he held the office of constable. Upon the premature death of the prince, in
1376,
he
was especially invited to his funeral. ..." (See web page above for
continuation of
biography,
excerpts below)
"In
his domestic life, Sir Bernard married thrice. Firstly, in 1354, to Agnes,
daughter
and
heiress of Sir Mauger Vavasour of Denton (Yorks). The following year, his uncle
and
namesake, the Rector of Guildford (Surrey) - wishing to secure a future for his
brother's
youngest and, therefore, landless son - bestowed upon him the estate which
was
to form the chief Brocas property: Beaurepaire, in Sherborne St. John near
Basingstoke
(Hants). ...
"...while
Bernard was fighting for his country abroad, his wife, Agnes, returned to her
Yorkshire
estates and entered into a liaison with her neighbour, Henry De Langfield.
The
circumstances are not precisely clear. The generous suggest that false reports
of
Sir Bernard's
death led to the lady actually marrying De Langfield. She certainly had a
son,
called Bernard, of whom the Yokshireman was supposedly the father. This must
have
been something of a shock to poor Sir Bernard upon his eventual return home.
The two
were divorced in 1360, at which time, he was charitable enough to let Agnes
retain
the most valuable estates in her dowry."
"...Brocas
soon turned his attentions to the wealthy heiress, Mary Des Roches, widow
of
Sir John De Borhunt and daughter of Sir John Des Roches... By 1361, the two
were
wed and Bernard received, from her, several estates, chief amongst them being
Roche
Court, near Fareham (Hants). ...
"After
the death of Sir Bernard's father, in 1365, the two probably lived mostly at
their
manor
of Clewer Brocas in order to be near the King at Windsor. This time, the union
does
appear to have been a happy one until Mary died, probably in April, 1380. Two
years
later, Bernard remarried to Katherine, widow of Sir Hugh Tyrrell, but he did
not
forget
his second wife and, in 1384, gave lands to Southwark Priory (near Fareham) in
her
memory and also founded a chantry chapel in Clewer parish church. ..."

People
Buried or Commemorated - Sir Bernard Brocas
"In
the chapel of St Edmund in Westminster Abbey is the tomb of Sir Bernard Brocas
(1330?-1395).
His family originally came from Gascony in France, where they fought
for
the English cause. Brocas was a favourite knight of Edward the "Black
Prince", son
of
Edward III, and was present at the battles of Poitiers and Crecy. He became
chamberlain
to Richard II's queen, Anne of Bohemia. He married first in about 1354
Agnes
daughter of Sir Mauger Vavasour of Yorkshire, from whom he was divorced.
Secondly
in 1361 he married Mary daughter of Sir John des Roches. Both these ladies
were
heiresses. Sir Bernard was appointed Master of the Royal Buckhounds, an
hereditary
office held by his descendants for three centuries. Katharine, widow of Sir
Hugh
Tyrell, was his third wife in 1382. His son, also Bernard (by his wife Mary),
held
royal
offices but he conspired against King Henry IV and was beheaded on Tower Hill
in
London in 1400.
"The
recumbent effigy on his tomb, depicting him in full plate armour with a sword,
seems
to have been a later addition. The shield he carried has now gone. Around the
ledge
of the tomb on a brass strip is the original inscription, which can be
translated: "
Here
lies Bernard Brocas, soldier, one-time Chamberlain to Queen Anne of England:
upon
whose soul may God look graciously. Amen". His head rests on a helmet on
which
is his crest, a Moor's head. At his feet is a lion. The tomb was repaired in
the
18th
century and a long inscription in English was painted on it. _"The
inscription
reads:
"Here
lies buried Sir Bernard Brocas, third son of Sir John Brocas who had a
considerable
command of archers at the siege of Calais in 1347, and a lineal
descendant
from Sir Bernard Brocas younger son of the Earl of Foix in France, who
came
to England with the Norman King William and in recquital of his services had a
grant
of lands in Hampshir to the then value of £400 per ann., which he chose near
Basingstoke,
& thereon built a mansion-house & called it Beaurepaire. This Sir
Bernard
served
in the French wars, and being afterward sent against the Moors, overcame the
King
of Morocco in battle and was allowed to bear for his crest a Moor's head
crowned
with
an old Eastern crown. His elder brother Sir John being slain in an engagement
with
the French near Southampton and his second brother Oliver (who was Grand
Seneschal
of Guyenne and Aquitaine and Governor of Bourdeaux) dying without issue
Sir
Bernard succeeded to the paternal inheritance both in England and France and
having
married Mary, daughter and heiress of Sir John de Roches, had a large estate
with
her, and the hereditary post of master of the Buck-hounds, which was confirmed
to
him by king Edward the Third, and held by the family till sold in James the
First’s
reign.
He was chamberlain to King Richard the Second’s queen; and his son, a knight
of
the same Christian name was carver to his said Majesty. The son was one of the
conspirators
against king Henry the Fourth at Oxford & was afterwards taken &
executed
at Cirencester in Gloucestershire, and he himself having raised a considerable
force
on the same side, advanced to Reading in Berkshire which place refusing him
admittance,
he burnt a part of it and made the rest his quarters, till on the retreat of
the
conspirators forces into Oxfordshire, Sir Bernard’s dispersing, he, with many
of his
adherents
became an easy prey to the townsmen of Reading, who executed several on
the
spot, but sent Sir Bernard to London where he was beheaded on Tower hill in
January
1400.
"Among
the coats of arms at the base of the tomb (repainted in the 1960s) are the
arms of
Brocas: sable [black] a lion rampant guardant or [gold], and des Roches: sable

Master
of Horse, and their respective sons, the Black Prince and his friend Bernard

On the shore at La Hogges, the Black Prince was dubbed knight and Bernard
armed

"Sir
Bernard married his second wife, Mary, in 1361/2 and went to France where he
served

£50 a
year and appointed first Master of the Royal Buckhounds, a hereditary post

"History
of St Andrew's Church, Clewer
"THE
BROCAS CHAPEL This Chapel bears the name of Sir Bernard Brocas, Lord of
Clewer
Manor, who in 1385 gave land, in trust, to Clewer Church in order that a
Chantry
Priest might be maintained to say daily Masses in this Chapel for the repose of
Lady
Mary Brocas's soul. The Chantry Priest had his own entrance and the door may
be
seen on the outside of the church. Inside, it provides an alcove for the fine
modern
carving
of St. Andrew.
"The
"hole in the wall" on the south side was thought by Rector Elwell to
be for an "
Eastern
Sepulchre'. Another view is that it marks the tomb of Lady Mary Brocas and
that
it originally held a recumbent statue of her which would have been vandalized
by
the
Puritans who disapproved of "graven images". It seems unlikely that a
Chapel
dedicated
to her memory and to the welfare of her soul, would not contain some
memorial.

it was followed by them after coming, in a number of cases, though generally
the
English
usage of preserving a family name was adopted. "ap" was used for a "son of"
and
"verch" or "ferch" was used for a "daughter of."

Extract
from 'Highways and Byways in Hampshire' by D.H. Moutray Read.
"John
Brocas, founder of the family, was one of three brothers educated at the Court
of
Edward II and his successor. A Gascon knight, by name Arnald de Brocas, is
mentioned
by chroniclers as having fallen 'in partibus Scotiae', (in the land of
Scotland)
and
this fact, in connection with the upbringing of the Brocas brothers, has led to
the
assumption
that the royal proteges were the sons of Arnald, probably a victim at
Bannockburn.
At any rate John de Brocas was 'valettus' (groom) to the King in 1314,
and
ten years later his brother was rector of Guildford, and Arnold, the youngest,
became
master of the Horse to Prince John.
"On
John de Brocas was bestowed the post of 'Custos equorum regis', no sinecure
under
the third Edward, with his large studs and all his "coursers, palfreys,
trotters,
hobbies,
genets, hengests and somers", not to mention the important
"destrier", or
'Great
Horses'. The King not only knew a good horse but paid high prices for his
fancy,
as
witness such items in the Issues of the Exchequer as:-
"For
the purchase of the three undermentioned chargers, to wit, one called Pokers,
of
a
grey colour, with a black head, price 120l.; another called Labret, dappled
with grey
spots,
price 70l.; and the third, called Bayard, of a bright brown-bay, with the two
hind
feet
white, price 50l."
"At
least £2,400, £1,400. and £1,000 of our money. But those days saw the
apotheosis
of
the horse. He had no rival. Without him war, commerce, even everyday intercourse
was
literally at a standstill. He gave the very name to the age - chevalry. So John
Brocas,
'Gardein de nos grands chevaux', in official "tunic of blue, and cape of
white
Brussels
cloth", was an important and most occupied personage.
"In
1337, Sir John de Brocas was chief Ranger of Windsor, and Warden of Nottingham
Gaol,
as well as Master of the Horse. In 1337 he was given the estate of Froyle as a
reward
for loyal services to the King. ..."

Alice, the wife of Henry Romyn, and Mary, the wife of John de Borhunte.
Henry

He
was also appointed master of the wolf hounds, in consequence of which, he took
for
his arms argent, three wolves passant, in pale, sable. He made Northamptonshire
his
chief residence, as did his descendants for several generations, until their
removal
to
Liscombe, in Buckinghamshire, which subsequently continued their abode for five
hundred
years. This William, besides being represented as a man in high favour with
the
king for his military talents, is said to have been one of the strongest and
stoutest
men
of the day, of which many feats are still recorded. He married a French lady,
at
whose
death he was so deeply affected, that taking her remains over to Normandy to
be
buried, he retired himself into an adjacent monastery, and every day until the
day
of
his death, payed a visit to her tomb, and on that day caused himself to be
carried
and
laid upon the grave, where he expired. In his family this was long a nursery
story,
and
gave rise to a nursery song.
May
my child be as stout - May my child be as strong - And my boy love as long - As
