Notes for Reliance Paschall:( above John Hammock's wife) by
Clarence McDaniel, July 1996 Reliance,D1 Reliance was born the 8th of December, 1749, in
Granville County. She married John Hammock but she died before her father and likely
before 1786. We have a deed of John Hammock of 1786 in which his wife is named as Phebe.
She may have been the mother of Samuel, Dx.

2) Pheriba but not Paschall. Shown by father's will Note: Husband often listed as Rev War
soldier; not known? Note: Will of f, Samuel, has John Hammock as "once my
son-in-law" and names his ch as gch. I have NOT seen Reliance named as wife but all
so list her. Note: There is a correlation in names of slaves between Samuel, D, estate and
that of Samuel, Dx

the presence of us. I do leave the plantation where Daniel Crawley lives to my daughter

Starting with Robert Hammock and Anne Lambert this line ties to the main line of Hammocks.
The purpose of this genealogical study is to preserve the records of Williams-Hammock
families -------.The study was compiled by John Donald Williams-2185 Old Salem Rd. S.E.-
Conyers, GA 30208 and Bill Nuss- 1543 Rose Street. N. W. - Cullman AL 35055 (1981)
Notes for Anne Ellinor Lambert: The following is extracted
from a letter to Felix M Hammack from Thomas Daniel Knight (95) "Regarding the
Lamberts, the situration is much the same. Tridition, as reported in all printed
genealogies thus far located,is that Anne Hammack, wife of Robert, was Anne Lambert. I
have little doubt that this was in fact the case. The names Hugh, Lambert, Joshua, Anne
Rene, and Lewis all seem to have been Lambert names, and there was a close association
between Robert Hammack and Hugh Lambert. Adaline Evans Wynn reported in her genealogy, c.
1940, that Anne was probably the daughter of William Lambert (d. 1715), and has been
assumed to be the case. William Lambert certainly had a daughter Anne, but this Anne was
born by 1699. We know that Robert Hammack was born c 1703, thur about 84 when he died in
1786-87. Anne survvived him, and if she was Williams daughter, she would have been about
88. This is hardly impossible, but the last child of Robert and Anne Hammack (daughter
Milly b 1757). If Robert Hammack's wife Anne Lambert were the daughter of William Lambert,
then she was about 58 at the time. Again, this is not impossible, but it causes one to
wonder. Thus, wonder I have, and in preparing and studying this material, I have
increasingly come to suspect that Anne may have been the daughter of Hugh and Anne
(Morgan) Lambeart and the grandaugher of William Lambert who died in 1715. We know that
Hugh and Anne were married by 1715 and that Robert and Anne were married by 1726, when
their first child William was born. If Anne Lambert Hammack were born c 1710, she could be
an older daughter of Hugh whose birth was not included in the North Farnham Ph Register
(there are clearly other births for Lambert family members that were not shown, probably
beccause the Lamberts were living in neighboring Northumberland Co. at the time.) In
checking an index to VA wills, I find that there are wills for two Hugh Lamberts (probably
father and son), in Brunswick and Mecklenburg Cos. VA.--- the area into which Hugh is
known to have moved. Hopefully, when they can be checked, they will help to comfirm some
of this".
Robert Hammock- Edward JACKSON and Abigail , his wife, of Amelia
County, Virginia, deed to Robert Hammock and Milley, his wife in consideration of

1808. On page 19 of Wandering Back by Henry F. Hammack he says, "we trace the Robert
Hammacks wife Ann as drifting from Richmond Co VA after the year 1757 (when Milly was born
) to Amelia Co. VA. From the latter county, they drifted to some place in SC, probably
Edgefield Co. where Daniel Hammack, a brother of Robert I, was then living. They could not
have remained very long in SC, because there is evidence in the old records in Wilkes Co.,
GA that they were there (some of them at least) as early as 1766. On pg 20 in Wandering
Back--"Robert and wife and Nancy were Hugh's brother and sister-in-law. A note from
W. K. Hammack (97) states that he has proof the John Hammock in Talbot Co. GA is the son
of Robert Hammock Jr. in Wilkes Co. GA (wife Milenore Jackson).!LAND RECORDS:1805 Georgia

Paschall, to Wm. Paschall "whereon he lives." Thos. Paschall "on the
river," Abner Wellborn one near Thos. Dennis and Samuel Paschal, Andrew Elliott,
Chas. Hammock, Arnold Zellner, and Jas. McCorial (?) hire slaves. Clarence McDaniel, July
1996 William was born on the 15th of April, 1753 or 1754 in Granville County.
There are two Bibles that record his
birth and they differ by one year. William married Mary Hammock about 1773 and was given a
tract of land by his father in 1775. We do not have a marriage record but this has been
well established through other records of the family. William’s name appears on many
records of Warren County and many prior searchers have considered some of these records to
be those of William,G, but the writer believes William,G, left the area about 1760.
William,D3, is often tagged with the junior designation; this being not for parentage but
for age. After William,C, died in 1774 the junior was dropped. William’s older sister
married John Hammock and they went to Wilkes County, GA. About 1786 William,D3, also moved
there. He obtained several tracts of land in the Wilkes/Lincoln County area which has
caused searchers to speculate that this showed he was a revolutionary soldier. There is no
reason to believe this merely from the land acquisition. There was, however, an account of
a William from Nutbush District of Granville County who was in the revolutionary militia.
There is no certain way to tell which of the several Williams this was. Positive
identification of William,D3, occurs by means of a deed in Warren County of 1790. In this
deed William, living in Wilkes,GA, sells the land his father had given him in 1775.

Recorded June 25th 1808 p. 148- Notes for William Paschall: Known as William of the Land
Grant. Bute Co., N. Carolina court minutes Nov 15, 1770 Ordered that Parks King, Tabitha
King, and Mary King, orphans of John King dec'd be bound to William Paschal until they
atain to lawful age, the said William to learn the said Parks King the business of a

grants from Lord Granville's agents from 1749-1761. Served in the North Carolina Militia,
1754. 1719 Midd/NJ WB Samuel Dennis names daughter, Reliance, others WILLIAM PASCHALL,C by
Clarence McDaniel October, 1997 NOTE: Since this was written a new item has been found.
This is a deed to William Paschall, 1730, near Elizabethtown.The witnesses are said to
have been 3 men from Woodbridge.If we consider this to be the same family then perhaps the
1729 and 1730 items are not William but his father! One reason to think this is the
signature of 1729 has William spelled out; this is the only instance of this, all the
later signatures use, "Will’m". Also, when William died a noted
Presbyterian minister was well paid for the sermon. This is the church of Scotland and
Perth-Amboy, the port of Woodbridge was a Scotish settlement? William was born about 1705,
perhaps a little earlier. He seems to have been the immigrant from England or Scotland but
not France. Bristol is one of the areas identified as the origin of some of the early
immigrants to Philadelphia. These immigrants, mostly Quakers and their allied families,
formed one of the "core" branches of subsequent Philadelphia society. See the
book, "Albion’s Seed". The immigrant,Benjamin, A246, was once considered to
be the father but the birth records of the Bristol Friends Meetings show he was born 1690,
which is too late. Perhaps the answer lies in one of the unknown Paschalls in the Say
Bible or the Bible of Abraham Paschall. Recent (November, 1986) discoveries of several
documents have extended our knowledge of William. William came to Woodbridge, Middlesex
County, NJ, prior to 1726 and remained there until moving to North Carolina. So far two
documents have been located that show his presence in Woodbridge from 1729 to 1739.
Additionally Samuel Dennis of Woodbridge, in his will of 1719, named an unmarried daughter
as Reliance. William named his seventh son, Dennis, no doubt but to honor her line. In
1729, at Woodbridge, William signed as witness to the will of Thomas Pike. The original
will exists and a photocopy of Williams signature has been obtained. The copy is faint but
the signature compares well with that of the 1749 land grant. About 1708 the Pike family
joined the Presbyterian Church that was just organized in Woodbridge. This is the Zebulon
Montgomery Pike family. Reliance’s father, Samuel Dennis or Dennes and his father
before him (also named Samuel) were well-known personages of Woodbridge. The elder Samuel
had served in several civil capacities in the town. Reliance’s grandfather and his
brothers, John and Jonathan along with their father, Robert Dennis, were pioneers in New
Jersey. Records indicate that Robert came from Yarmouth, MA, about 1667. John and Samuel
arrived on a ship in 1664, embarking from Cork, Ireland. They may have completed their
schooling in Britain before leaving to join their father in Woodbridge. In 1739, records
of the court of New York city indicate that a runaway servant, Richard Glover, was being
held until William Paschall, of Woodbridge, should come to get him. During these critical
ten years we can show William living in Woodbridge. An examination of the town book,
called Libre B, may show more but this has not been accessed to date. About the year 1744,
William and likely his two older sons, went to North Carolina, perhaps in a group along
the Quaker Trail that led from Philadelphia to Baltimore to Richmond to Petersburg, VA. It
may be that the entire family went to Virginia and stayed there while the three men went
on south. My own guess is that Reliance had died and William remarried. The names of the
daughters, Rachel, Dianna, Sarah and Ruth are names used in the Pike family, especially
Dianna and Ruth. Our particular thread can be picked up in the 1744 North Carolina
petitions for land. A petitioner had to meet certain requirements. These were: he had to
be a loyal subject of the Crown, not bound or criminal, and he had to pledge support to
the Church of England. These were laws passed by the colonial government at New Bern, the
capital. From about 1720 land in North Carolina had been given by the Lord
Proprietor’s in England at the rate of 50 acres for each person present in the
family, including servants/slaves. Our petitioner asked for the modest sum of 150 acres
which would indicate that only William and possibly two sons were present in 1744. This
petition and a cattle mark registration of 1745 are our first records of William in North
Carolina. The 1744 petitions were never granted due to policy changes in England. My
thought is that he next brought the entire family to North Carolina by 1748 as the survey
for his first grant was made that year. This survey most likely included the 150 acres he
had previously claimed. In any event, William had a survey run on Mar 11, 1748, and
received his first land grant on Mar 25, 1749, in the county of Granville for 625 acres.
William’s grant of 1749 is a beautiful document. Copies may be obtained from the
North Carolina Archives and are expensive. The document is large and contains
William’s signature to attest his agreement to the terms of the grant. Those granting
the land were the legally appointed commissioners of Lord Granville, sitting at New Bern.
William’s signature shows a fair hand and he signed his surname in the Anglicized
form with one L. He abbreviated his first name as "Willm" as he did on his will.
THE TERMS OF THE GRANT - The grantee was required, within a space of time, to make
improvements in the property . He was to clear and cultivate the land at so many acres a
year or he was to build a suitable house and graze so many head a year, etc. In all he was
required to do exactly as you would expect he would want to do. A token sum, called quit
rents, was due yearly, forever. Failure to meet the terms meant expulsion and forfeiture.
It is uncertain why terms were imposed; it was not to the advantage of the Crown to
enforce them. THE PLACE OF THE GRANT - The grant bounds are perfectly definable. The grant
may be easily located even at this date on a modern topographical map of the area.
Embellishments made by William’s sons were still definable in the 1920’s
according to Edward E Paschall. He wrote that a mill, "Paschall Mill", was still
standing in 1925. As we follow the Roanoke upriver from the bay country, we encounter a
northeasterly flowing creek named Smith’s Creek. William located up this creek near a
branch called Beetree. It was here William had survey chains dragged through densely
forested hill and vale and made his home place, and it is here that he is buried. William
improved and kept his 1749 grant; indeed he added three more grants of adjacent land to
the original, making in all 2597 acres. These grants were dated the 11th and 13th of
March, 1760 and 16 March, 1761. This constituted a parcel of land about 3 miles long, east
to west, and a mile wide. On a road map, North Carolina routes 1217, 1206 and 1218 enclose
most of the original grants. This achievement has caused William to be fondly known as:
"William of the Land Grants". William’s three oldest sons also received
grants in their names, all in the same immediate area. Surviving records of the early
period with individual names of settlers are few. Thankfully, we do have some. There are
four published lists, three tax and a militia list, that give the names of individuals
that are of interest. These are: 1750 Granville Tax list 1754 Granville Militia list 1755
Granville Tax list 1762 Granville Tax list These lists suffice to give us some idea of
William, his sons and their neighbors. As would be expected many prominent names can be
found on the these lists which became legends in later North Carolina history. 1750 - This
list shows William with four additional polls. The state tax was levied on males at age 16
in these early years. 1754 - This is a military list, probably brought about by an Indian
scare, resulting in a desire to know how many able-bodied men could fight. This list
states some relationships. We have William and son, William. Other companies carry Samuel,
John and Isaiah. Samuel is married and most likely so are John and Isaiah. John’s
name is either duplicated or the complier could not distinguish the difference in names.
We note Elisha is missing from the list. We do not know of any certain age requirement
imposed for this list. 1755 - This list gives us the names of the polls and we find six of
William’s sons listed with him. Only the youngest two sons are missing from this
list. 1762 - Recently published, this list shows two sons living in the homes of relatives
of their wives. We notice that Isaiah,F, is listed as overseer in the household of Julius
Nichols, his brother-in-law. Likewise we see William,G, living in the household of Thomas
Aspen. Thomas is likely his father-in-law. William,C, has Elisha and Dennis at home and
over 16. Samuel and James are listed separately so James has probably married by 1762. The
first two tax lists give us a chance to make some rough age estimates for William’s
sons. We can show the following: 1750 1755 Samuel > 16 > 16 John > 16 > 16
> means "over" Isaiah > 16 > 16 16 > 16 Elisha <16> 16 James <16> 16 We can
see this indicates the first four were born before 1734 and the last two were born between
1734 and 1739. We have a document regarding Isaiah which says he was "about 50"
in 1779. Samuel’s Bible has his year of birth as 1727. Using the traditional order as
given by William’s will then we have: Samuel b, 1727 John b, 1729 Isaiah b, 1731
William b, 1733 Elisha b, 1735 James b, 1739 We keep the two year separation between
births as most authorities recommend. The traditional year of birth for James is 1740. We
lower this to 1739 to be in agreement with the tax list. Other Early Records - The court
records of early Granville list, in 1756, William’s name in a trespass suit. A deed
record of Thomas Aspen, in 1758, has as witness, William. This is most likely the son,
William, G, as he was in the household in the 1762 tax list. There is in the 1760’s a
series of deeds, William to his sons and Isaiah to father, William. William deeded to
seven of his sons all of the land in the three later grants. He retained only the
northernmost part of the 1749 grant - the home place. William,G, did not receive land
because he had left the county - he most likely got property of equal value. The year 1765
saw Granville County divided with William’s original tracts split between two
counties. The eastern portion of Granville with the home place became Bute County. Again
in 1779 we see the Bute name discarded and the county divided into two new counties,
Warren to the north and Franklin to the south. The records of Bute were given to the
keeping of Warren County wherein the home place now lay. In 1773 there was an agreement
between William and son, Thomas,K. The agreement was that Thomas should provide his father
and wife with their keep for one year; Thomas in return was to get a sum of money. The
agreement was witnessed by William who made a mark like a capital M. Whether this was
Wm,D3, or Wm,G, remains to be determined though Wm,G is believed to have made a mark like
a capital W and thought to have been in Orange county. In May of the year 1774 William
made his will. The will was probated in Bute court of November, 1774. Today we can view a
microfilm copy of that original will. William named his seven oldest sons and devised a
nominal sum to each. This signifies that he considered they had already gotten their fair
share of his estate. The idea in naming each is to show that none had been accidentally
forgotten. William named his then living wife, Tabitha; his underage daughter, Reliance;
his married daughter, Dianna, and her husband and son; his three adult daughters and his
youngest son, Thomas. The four adult daughters received land in Granville, Reliance got a
sizeable bequest, Tabitha got the home place land for her lifetime. Thomas got the rest
including Tabitha’s after her death. Thomas was made the ward of his sister,
Reliance, and posted bond. It has always been the custom that William named his sons in
order of their birth and we know of no cause to believe otherwise at this date. An
inventory of the estate shows a voucher for payment to the Rev. Henry Patrillo for the
funeral sermon. He was a noted Presbyterian minister of the time. Anderson,J1, named a son
, Zebulon Montgomery no doubt but for the famous Pike’s peak explorer. My guess is
that William married secondly into this Pike family, who were his neighbors, and embraced
their religion about 1743 and Dennis, J, and Thomas, K, as well as two or three daughters
were by this second wife. Enforcement to this idea is had by the fact that neither of the
J or K lines ever named a daughter Reliance whereas the older ones did so. Of the five
daughters we originally knew very little. No marriage records of this period have been
located. Dianna had a record (banns) of intent to marry Richard King and this is confirmed
by the will. No further record has been identified for the other three daughters. The
daughters marriages may be traced using the land records. This requires a tedious search
for the first recorded owner of the bequeathed land. William gave bequests to four
daughters of land in Granville county below that of son, Elisha. The deed to Elisha was
confused but it was for 845 acres. To understand this the searcher must know that the 700
acres of land given by son, Isaiah, to his father was to the west and south of the fourth
grant of William. When this 700 acres is platted in and the boundaries of the 845 acres to
Elisha used we see that Elisha got 685 acres (the entire 4th grant to William) and 160
acres of the west part of Isaiah’s old grant. A careful reading of the deed to Elisha
now shows that William gave Elisha the entire grant along with the liabilities thereof,
i.e. the quit rents. This left 540 acres of Isaiah’s old grant, all south of Elisha.
The dimensions are given for this residual land. Following the amounts given in the will
we can plat the land given to each daughter. This has been done. The above lengthily
explanation was necessary as this is the only clue to the marriages of the three
daughters. The land records had to be searched for mention of Sarah,L’s 150 acres
south of Elisha being conveyed. The conveyor must have no prior deed for the land it being
his wife’s legacy. There was located, as predicted three such sales of the exact
land. The story is found in each daughter’s history. More work needs to be developed
on these lines. The daughter, Reliance, was alive, and not married until 1785, the year
Thomas last renewed the bond. Reliance was not the child of William’s wife Reliance
as so many searchers have presumed. We can show this by the following analysis: Eighteen
was at the time the legal age for females. If Reliance was underage in 1785 (assuming the
bond was for an underage ward) then she must have been born no earlier than 1767. If we
presume Reliance was born no later than 1703 (she was a minor when her father died in
1719) then Reliance would have been, as a minimum, 65 years old when daughter Reliance was
born. The incidence of live births to women over 50 is extremely small so good genealogy
then denies the assumption that Reliance was the mother. In 1815 at Smith county, TN,
James Burchett died and had an estate sale. He was allied by his sisters marriage to the
E-line and went with them to that county earlier. At his sale was his widow, Reliance. I
suspect she was either William’s daughter or a daughter of James,I, or John,E. The
latter seems more likely and is so indicated below. We have traced as accurately as
possible the descendants of the eight sons. All eight sons married and had issue. William
was blessed with no less than 63 grandchildren! The line-up as we apportion it today is:
Line Son Grandsons D Samuel Wm, John, Samuel, Milton E John James, Silas, Samuel, John F
Isaiah Wm, George, John, Isaiah, Dennis G William Thomas H Elisha Wm, Samuel, John,
Elisha, Jesse, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Alexander I James Samuel, Robert, John, James, Joshua,
Edmund J Dennis Anderson, Nichols, Elisha K Thomas Wm, Thomas, John, Henry, Michael,
Robert Line Son Granddaughters D Samuel Reliance, Mary, Rachel, Sarah, Susan, Nancy,
Mildred, Betty, Phereba E John Jemina?, Reliance? F Isaiah Lucinda G William Hannah H
Elisha Elizabeth, Reliance, Jerusha, Rachel I James Patience, Elizabeth, Eluena, Sarah J
Dennis Mary, Sarah K Thomas Nancy, Elizabeth, Mary, Martha, Bushaba In this list there are
some questions but it represents a minimum count - there was possibly two more grandsons.
Of these 36 grandsons, nearly all had descendants. One can quickly see the numbers become
astonishing in several generations. When I first became aware of these eight sons and
their children and the confusion regarding them I determined to find where they went and
when they died. Little did I know of the extent of such a task. The date and place of
death for the sons were: Name Date County/State Samuel 1805 Abbeville, SC John 1776
Granville, NC Isaiah 1795 Franklin, NC William 1818+ likely Russell, VA Elisha 1810+
Caswell, NC James 1792 Warren, NC Dennis 1815 Warren, NC Thomas 1821 Warren, NC Those who
made wills were: Samuel, Isaiah, James, Dennis Relationship information may be found in
deed records for: John, Elisha, Thomas In other wills for: John, William Contrary to what
might be expected the greatest problems occur when a great number of persons with the same
surname are living in the same civil region. Such occurs in Warren in the period from
about 1780-1810. After this time the number of remaining lines has diminished to the point
where identification is not questionable. The only saving factor in Warren was the
preservation of a great number of records. The tax lists divide the county into smaller
geographical areas or districts. With a large number of descendants in a small area no
scrap of paper or mention is insignificant. One John who could sign his name and another
who couldn’t was the break needed in one case. When William deeded his land to his
sons, the land was all in one civil jurisdiction, Granville County. In 1765, the land
given to James was partially divided between Granville and Bute. In the west John, Isaiah
and Elisha were still in Granville, while to the east Samuel, Dennis and Thomas with their
father were in Bute. Furthermore the new county line dividing Bute and Granville was
artificial, that is, an imaginary line rather than the more familiar boundary of a river.
The line ran fairly parallel to Deep Creek but the creek had been ignored as a boundary.
Dissatisfaction with this line must have been great because in the year 1786 (after the
tax list) Granville ceded this district, Nutbush, to Warren. Knowledge of this change is
necessary to interpret the records of 1785-87 correctly. In 1787, Elisha suddenly appears
to have moved from Granville to Warren. We are not so fortunate in the later Granville
records as we are in those of Warren; fewer tax lists are available and the 1790 census is
missing. We have tax lists for 1769, 1771 and various years and most of the state census
of 1786. More About William Paschall: Immigration: England to NC

Notes for Samuel Paschall: 1753 Gran/NC land Grant; order for
survey, 640a; not completed; Apr 30 Listed 1754 Militia list NC Samuel, D by Clarence
McDaniel, July 1996 Samuel, as recorded in his Bible, was born the 1st day of April, 1727,
probably in Middlesex County, NJ. He has always been considered the oldest of the eight
sons and most likely the oldest child of William and Reliance. Samuel is the best
documented of the eight sons. It is from his Bible that we know the name of his mother;
this being the sole source of her name. The 1754 Militia list of Granville contains
Samuel’s name in a separate company of men from his father. From the Bible we know
Samuel married Phereba Ward, daughter of John and Sarah Ward on the 14th of July, 1748.
There was a John Ward family in Middlesex County, NJ, but there is no assurance as yet
that it was the same family. Samuel was given two plats of land by his father in the
1760’s. Samuel also received three grants of land from North Carolina; one for 400
acres adjoining the property his father gave him and another for 700 acres on the
northwest end of his father’s grants and another 700 acre tract. Samuel seems to have
managed quite well and had many land transactions. Since we have a source for his birth we
can verify that the tax lists of Warren County dropped him from the poll tax after a
certain age. The 1787 and prior lists show this poll but the 1788 and subsequent lists do
not. This indicates Samuel was excused from the tax after age 50. Records show Samuel in
the 1771 tax list of Bute County with son, William. There are many deeds concerning Samuel
from 1771 to the 1790’s. The state census of 1786, Warren County, shows a family of
two sons and two daughters. In the 1790 federal census we find two sons and one daughter
and assume one daughter had married, most likely this was Reliance. About the year 1795,
Samuel disposed of his property and moved to Abbeville County, SC. This second residence
was near the state line with Georgia and bordered on Wilkes County of that state where
Samuel’s oldest son and daughter had moved about ten years previously. Samuel is
found on the 1800 census of Abbeville County. In July, 1805, Samuel made his will. The
will was very well executed and named all Samuel’s children and his daughters’
husbands. Fortunately some of the children were married in Warren County and a few bonds
have survived. South Carolina lacked civil marriage records until a much later period.
Samuel’s widow was listed in the 1810 census of Abbeville. The descendants of
Samuel’s children are found principally in two areas, Rockingham County, NC, and
Georgia.

Notes for John Seth Paschall: 1st marriage offical - William
Paschall, bondsman
Clarence McDaniel, July 1996 John, D4 John was born the 1st of July, 1756, in Granville
County.
He received from his father 333 1/3 acres of land and this may be used to
identify him in later Rockingham County. John married Mary Robertson, daughter of
Nathaniel Robertson, on the 26th of November, 1783, in Warren County. This John and his
wife are incorrectly identified in printed works but the evidence is absolutely clear.
This error constitutes one of the major errors that persists in the C-line possibly due to
the large number of John given names and the lack of surviving marriage bonds. He became
identified as the senior John after the death of John,E, in 1776. John was quite rich for
the time and moved to Rockingham County, NC, about the summer of 1808. This being shown by
the dropping of the senior and junior tags in records of Warren County. John appears on
the 1810 census of Rockingham County as John, Sr, having again picked up the tag due to a
younger John,H6, also in residence. The 1810 census duplicated the entries of the two
Johns resident there. John died, intestate, about February of 1816. There was considerable
property to be disposed of and we can establish the complete family from the estate and
land proceedings. The youngest son, John, was a minor and had a guardian until about 1823.
Mary, the widow, died in Hawkins County,TN, and is listed in the mortality census
schedules of 1850. John had a family of three sons and two daughters.
Notes for John Glover: He was a Captain in the American
Revolution. He was a plantation owner.

of compiled material by Thomas Daniel Knight (Oct 1995) for Felix Hammock. Data from LDS
IGIs. Benedict Hammock deeded land in Amelia Co VA to his children. In 1756, his daughter
Christian, who had married John Bentley from Onslow Co., NC, was the first child to
receive land in 1758. Amelia Co. VA Deed book #5 p 464. The indenture was made 9 Jan 1756.
Benedict Hammock of Amelia Co VA for natural love and affection for his daughter Christian
and her Husband John Bentley, and for 5 shillings, a deed of gift of 50 acres of land on
the head of Hog Pen Branch. Wit. John Hammock, Anne Hammock, Charles Connelly.
Notes for Hugh Lambert: Family tradition states there three brothers
who came to America. (no dates or places). Tradition in the Wythe area states they came
from the Norfolk area. In the Norfolk area was a William Lambert and his wife ann who sold
property left to Ann by her father Robert Bradshaw. Near Norfolk, VA is an area now
covered by the N&W Coal yards that was known as Lambert's Point. This was owned in
1635 by Thomas Lambert, who died in 1765. Also a record of a Sir Thomas Lambert who was one
of the first to rick and dry tobacco.
Notes for John Paschall: Served under Capt. John Glover, NC
Militia, 1754. Owned 354 acres in Granville Co., North Carolina deeded from his father on
June 30, 1761. 1754 Gran/NC Militia list - married ? John,E by Clarence McDaniel Jun 1995
John was born about 1729, most likely in Middlesex County, NJ. There is every indication
that John was named for one of the Paschall line, perhaps a brother of William,C.
John’s first record is found in the 1754 Militia list of Granville County. He was
apparently married by this time as he is listed in a different company than his father.
John was also named in the 1755 tax list of Granville along with his father and five of
his brothers. In 1762, John obtained a grant of 700 acres of land from North Carolina that
was adjacent to the land his father had given him in 1761. This land and another 300 acres
purchased by John are the subjects of several deeds by him. There are no records yet found
to show the year John married or whom he married. A Granville court record has been
recently accessed which indicates his widow’s name was Isabella. There is also a deed
record in which John and a Jemina Paschall were witnesses. This could be a first wife or
more likely a daughter. There are two deeds that name Isabella in the 1780’s. She was
still living at this time in the area of John’s farm. These two female names are the
only ones known to be associated with this line. In 1815, James Burchett, Smith Co, TN,
had a probate sale, his widow was Reliance. The E-line of John had moved to this county. I
think Reliance was a daughter of John. John died, apparently intestate, in the late fall
of 1776. His estate was administered by his brother, Isaiah. We assume from this that
John’s older sons were underage, however, James,E1, appears to have been of legal age
by late 1777. The estate administration bond filed by Isaiah also co-names James. James
may have been of age but likely too inexperienced to handle the estate singly. The
document that names Isabella as John’s widow is her permission to the court for the
appointment of Isaiah as administrator. This could be interpreted to indicate that
Isabella was not the first wife of John and thus not the mother of James, E1. John was the
first of William’s sons to die. He was only about forty-nine at this time. His death
appears to have been unexpected, but he was not likely a victim of the war. The estate
proceedings of this time do not give much additional information. John had about twenty
years of married life and his widow, Isabella, survived him.Thus it would be normal to
expect he had a family of eight to ten children. It is entirely likely that the births of
these children would go right up to the year John died. From the state census of 1786 and
the federal census of 1800 we can piece together some idea of the size of John’s
family and the birth years of the children. Any male Paschall in the area becoming of age
at this time would be a candidate for this line and may have had younger brothers and
sisters and an older female in the household. We do find such a male ,named John, and he
has been designated John, E4. This John was born about 1772 and is found in the same
district with the other sons. John’s family as we now have it consists of three known
sons and this assumed fourth son. The entire E-line had left Granville County by 1807,
James, E1, going to South Carolina and the others to Smith County, TN.

Notes for Elisha Paschall: 1755 Gran/NC father and six sons
named; as Eliser, over 16
Elisha, H by Clarence McDaniel, Mar 1998 Elisha was born about 1735 probably in
Middlesex County, New Jersey. He first appears on the 1755 tax list of Granville County
with his father and five brothers. He is listed with the quaint spelling of
"Elizer". Elisha has been the subject of a large printed work by Mrs. Mary
Johnston of Katy, Texas. This volume was printed and distributed by Mary and her husband,
Allen, in 1973. The work consisted of about 1200 pages of mimeographed family sheets of
notebook size bound in a soft cover. The principal coverage was of two sons of Elisha,
William, H1, and Jesse, H8. Very little information was given concerning Elisha, H, or his
other children. Approximately half of the work concerned allied families of the two sons.
We will provide additional information gathered since that works publication. Elisha was
given 845 acres of land by his father in 1763 on the west and south end of the Paschall
grants. This land was the entire 4th grant of NC to his father and 160 acres of the 700
acre grant of NC to Isaiah,F. Isaiah had deeded the entire 700 acres to his father. The
amount of land seems large compared to what was given the other sons but it was the value
and not the amount of land. In the deed books we find a duplication of Elisha’s deed;
the first deed was apparently defective for some cause. Elisha had several deed
conveyances, two or more being with his brother Dennis. In one of these deeds of 1771 we
note the naming of Elisha’s wife as Ann. This deed may be a clue to her maiden name.
Many times when the wife’s name appears on these records it is due to her family
interest, i.e. some land or debt on her side, most likely her father, and the inclusion of
her name signifies her consent to the sale. Some states had laws requiring a separate
statement or questioning of the wife for this purpose. So far as the author knows this is
the only document of the period which names Elisha’s wife. Elisha traditionally
married about 1756 but no record has been preserved. We note that in the 1762 tax list of
Granville County, Elisha is listed at home with his father and brother, Dennis. This tends
to imply he was as yet unmarried. Elisha’s land was located in Granville County,
Nutbush District. In 1786 this district was transferred to Warren County and subsequently
Elisha appears on tax lists of that county. The tax list of Warren County for 1789 shows
Elisha as having acquired 269 acres of land in Caswell County. A deed of 1788 in Caswell
confirms the purchase. Elisha appears on the 1790 census of Warren County, however, the
printed census of Warren County contains an error in the family data. The original census
is correct. After 1790, Elisha appears on tax lists of Caswell County, St. David District,
and on the 1800 and 1810 censuses there. He was listed as Elijah on the 1800 census.
Elisha, H, had his farm in Caswell County located on the waters of Hogan’s Creek. The
property extended into Rockingham County on the west. Elisha bought, sold and traded land
devising some to his sons and naming them in the deeds. Elisha apparently died sometime
after the 1810 census. No will or estate proceeding has been located. In 1917 a descendant
of Ezekiel,Hb, the youngest son of Elisha, wrote a family history consisting of fourteen
typewritten pages. This was Ezekiel, Hb93. This history constitutes the primary document
available to establish the family of Elisha, H. It more than likely contains errors of
memory. The document is quite good in naming the descendants of Ezekiel, Hb, but must be
used with caution for the prior information. Tradition has set the birth year of
Elisha’s oldest child, William,H1, as about 1757. The youngest, Ezekiel, was born in
1788. Tradition also names Nancy Ann as the mother of Elisha’s children. Assuming
Nancy was about 18 years of age at marriage we note she would have borne children over a
span of 31 years which is an age span of 18 to 49. While this is not impossible it does
appear unlikely. There are two common possibilities. Either there was more than one wife
or the children were born a few years later than tradition gives. In looking to the
evidence we see that the two oldest sons did not marry until after 30 years of age as
given by tradition. Further no records of these sons were made before 1800; Elisha was
only listed with a single poll in Warren County tax lists. This tends to reinforce the
idea that they were a few years younger than the dates given by tradition. Unfortunately
there does not appear to be other information to verify this finding. Neither Elisha nor
any of his sons except Alexander and Elisha,Jr., could write and most seem to have held to
the trade of farming. Elisha,Jr., could sign his name and may have written his will but
this is not certain. As we now have it, Elisha and Nancy Ann had eight sons and five
daughters. After William, H1, died in 1823 most of the older descendants moved to west
Tennessee. The two younger sons, Isaiah and Ezekiel remained in Caswell County.
