General Notes: Patrick and Cam, as Valeria was usually called, lived in Eagleville, Rutherford County, Tennessee.

In that era, Epperson Springs was a fashionable summer resort, frequented by the well-to-do in middle Tennessee. Patrons of the spa arrived on the train and were met by tallyho from Cam's hotel. Because of the fabulous food and service provided by Cam for her guests, it was a popular establishment, but it was not financially profitable and she gave it up. Despite financial limitations, Cam always managed to maintain a gracious home for her children and to dress them with unusual artistry. She had a way of encouraging children to learn. Taken from the Riggs book as noted by Anne Allen Russell

Patrick was born on the corner of Broad St and Summer St, now Broadway and 5th Ave. The Ryman Auditorium is located on their old garden. Shadrick Allen purchased this property for $3.00 and at that same time purchased a slave for $500.00.

General Notes: [jcenright.FTW] VALERIA CAMPBELL HALEY, daughter of Mary Campbell Riggs and Wyatt Ambrose Haley, was born on June 17, 1860, in the home of her parents at Riggs Cross Roads, Williamson County, Tennessee. This was the large log house located directly across the pike from the brick home of her grandfather, Gideon Riggs. She attended the subscription school located in the basement of the Church of Christ at Riggs Cross Roads. She married Patrick Henry Allen on November 20, 1878, in Williamson County, Tennessee (Marriage Record Book, Vol. 9, page 180, Williamson County.) He was the son of Shadrick (or Samuel) Lawson Allen and Pearlina Patrick Allen. Shadrick Lawson Allen, a Primitive Baptist minister in Buckingham County, Virginia, moved to Lebanon in Wilson Count, Tennessee, in 1804. On July 9, 1840, he married Pearlina Patrick, born September 22, 1824. From Lebanon they moved to Nashville, where Patrick Henry Allen was born on October 8, 1841, at their home, located at what in now Fifth Avenue and Broad Street, Nashville. The Ryman Auditorium, where the Grand Ole Opry now broadcasts to millions, occupies the spot which was then the vegetable garden of the Allens.
Patrick and Cam, as Valeria was usually called, lived in Eagleville, Rutherford County, Tennessee. After their children were born they moved to Nashville, where Mr. Allen operated a grocery business. Cam was ambitious and energetic and undertook a business venture by opening a hotel in Epperson Springs near West moreland, Tennessee. In that era Epperson Springs was a fashionable summer resort, frequented by the well-to-do in Middle Tennessee. Patrons of the spa arrived on the train and were met by tallho from Cam's hotel. Because of the fabulous food and service provided by Cam for her guests, it was a popular establishment, but it was not financially profitable and she gave it up. Patrick Henry died on March 16, 1911, and is buried in Mount Olivet Cemetery in Nashville.
Despite financial limitations, Cam always managed to maintain a gracious home for her children and to dress them with unusual artistry. She had a way of encouraging children to learn. The compilers of this book remember that when they were children she found time to give them affectionate attention. She taught them to crochet, made them fancy little petticoats, and invited them to festive meals on special occasions where tutti frutti was always the elegant dessert. She died on September 10, 1928, and is buried in Spring Hill Cemetery, Nashville. The children of this marriage were:

General Notes: MARY CAMPBELL RIGGS, daughter of Gideon Riggs and his second wife, Sophia Campbell Riggs, was born on January 22, 1830, at Riggs Cross Roads, Williamson County, Tennessee. She attended a girls' preparatory school in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. There is a legend that when she was not quite 16 years old she climbed from an upstairs window to elope with Wyatt Ambrose Haley. She rode behind Wyatt on horseback to Allisona, where they were married. The Williamson County, Tennessee, marriage Record 3, p. 149, shows that they were married on November 19, 1846, by Will Nunn, J. P. Although the marriage was against the wishes of her father, he nevertheless gave the young couple the occupancy of a farm with the log house which had been his original home at the Cross Roads before he built his brick house. These houses faced each other directly across the road, only about 300 feet apart. This is where all six of Mary and Wyatt's children were born. Upon her father's death, Mary inherited the house and about 155 acres of land surrounding it as a child's part of his estate.
Mary told her daughter, Margaret Sue Haley Denny, about having seen the stars fall one night in 1833 on the old rock house on the Dean Farm, where a dance was in progress. This farm, now the Blackwell place, is located on the Horton Highway (W. S. 31-A) about two miles north of Riggs Cross Roads. The old rock house has been demolished. Her niece, Frances Ogilvie Holt, speaks of how handsome Mary was in a letter quoted previously in Chapter III of this book.
Wyatt Ambrose Haley was born on October 25, 1824. According to an account given to Marjorie Haley Rainey Hutton by her great-uncle Robert Haley, he and his two brothers, Wyatt Ambrose Haley and William Haley, had come with their father from Charlottesville, Virginia, in covered wagons to settle in the vicinity of College Grove. They brought their furniture and a fine violin, which has now been inherited by Wyatt's descendant, Wyatt Lloyd Haley. Wyatt Ambrose Haley died on May 18, 1864, when not quite 40 years old, as a result of complications from measles. Thus, at the close of the Civil War Mary was left with little more than the farm, ravaged by the Yankees, on which to rear six children, the eldest being only 11 years old. Her early training, in the pattern of the old South, had equipped her to embroider, but not to do plain sewing. She had learned to manage others, but not to work herself. But manage she did, not only to rear her children, but to give them some education. Several of the younger ones attended a subscription school conducted in the basement of the nearby Church of Christ, built on land contributed by her father, Gideon Riggs. Her son, Thomas Davidson Haley, and his wife made their home with her until her death at age 70 on August 10, 1900. Both she and Wyatt Ambrose are buried in the family cemetery at Riggs Cross Roads. Their children: Gideon Wyatt Haley, b. July 22, 1822
Benjamin Robert Haley, b. May 28, 1853
Berry HALEY, B. September 22, 1855
Thomas Davidson Haley, b. February 12, 1858
Valeria Campbell Haley, b. June 17, 1860
Margaret Sue Haley, b. August 17, 1862

Mary married Wyatt Ambrose Haley on 29 Nov 1846 in Williamson, Tennessee, USA.⁶¹ ⁶² Wyatt was born on 25 Oct 1824 in Charlottesville, Charlotte Co. Virginia, died on 18 May 1864 in Riggs Crossroads, Williamson, Tennessee, USA at age 39, and was buried in Riggs Cemetery, Riggs Crossroads, Williamson, Tennessee, USA.

Nancy's last guardian paper in 1808, and I quote: " Nancy S. Hightower
orphan of Mrs. Mary Pewett, deceased" Nancy chose her guardian, William
Hightower (her uncle) about 1802. An earlier record "Mrs. Mary Hightower
gives to her children, Nelson Hightower and Nancy S. Hightower slaves,
etc." about 1791. Another later quote:" Christopher Robertson gives to
Mary Pewett's children slaves, but Nelson and Nancy Hightower not to
have any part of it". John Hightower (Jr. son of John and Mary Bryan)
m. Ann Smith (dau of Richard Smith) and in 1774 m. Mrs. Edmondson,
widow of Upton Edmondson. John Jr. died c 1796. - Elizabethine Gaultney

Nancy married Wyatt William Haley on 9 Nov 1811 in , Charlotte, VA. Wyatt was born about 8 Feb 1788 in , Charlotte, Virginia, USA and died about 8 Oct 1855 in Marshall County, TN about age 67.

86. Gideon Wright Riggs, son of David B. Riggs and Miriam Wright,⁶³ ⁶⁵ was born on 8 Mar 1790 in , Stokes, North Carolina and died on 17 Nov 1871 in Riggs Crossroads, Williamson, Tennessee, USA at age 81.

General Notes: He was born in NC in 1790 and moved with his father to Williamson co., Tenn in 1810. He was a soldier under General Jackson in the War of 1812.

GIDEON RIGGS, son of David and Miriam Wright Riggs, was born on March 8, 1790. To his children and grandchildren he was the key figure at the Cross Roads for many decades. A full account of his life is given in Chapter III.

GIDEON RIGGS, the son of David and Miriam Wright Riggs, was born in North Carolina on March 8, 1790, and removed with his father from Stokes County, formerly Surrey County, to Williamson Count, Tennessee, in 1810 or perhaps before. They were among the pioneers of Williamson County, which had just been established as a county in 1799. He was typical of the early settlers, whose activities included the construction of houses and the clearing, fencing, and cultivation of the land.
Gideon was a leader in the establishment and advancement of his community and, judging by pioneer standards, he became a man of substantial means, with estates in both Tennessee and Arkansas. His life, though colorful and eventful, was touched with sadness due to the untimely deaths of his three wives and two of his children.
It is not surprising that soon after coming to Tennessee Gideon volunteered to serve in his generation's most important endeavor - the War of 1812. A letter from the War Department, Adjutant General's Office, Washington, D. C., dated 28 May 1947 and addressed to Mrs. Quinn C. Cantrell, Brenau college, Gainesville, Georgia, states: The records show that one Gideon Riggs served in the War of 1812, as a private in Capt. Robert Cannon's Company, 2nd Regiment (Benton's) Tennessee Volunteers." His service began on December 10, 1812, and ended on April 20, 1815.

Gideon married Mary "Polly" Reynolds on March 6, 1816, as recorded in Williamson County Marriage Book 1, p. 124. She was the daughter of Richard Coleman Reynolds and Prepare Riggs. According to Mr. Wallace's Genealogy, Polly was the granddaughter of Gideon's uncle, Reuben Riggs. Mary Reynolds Riggs was born on March 10, 1798, died on December 22, 1825, and is buried at the Cross Roads Cemetery in Williamson County, Tennessee. They had two children:
Mira Marzee Riggs, b. December 19, 1816
Overton C. Riggs, b. December , 1818; d. December 30, 1835; buried at Riggs
Cross Roads.

After the death of his first wife, Mary Reynolds Riggs, he married Sophia Campbell of Campbellsville, Kentucky. Campbellsville was founded by and named for three pioneer brothers, Adam, David, and James Campbell, who came from near Greenville, Augusta Count, Virginia, according to the October 23, 1969, issue of the The News Journal, Campbellsville, Kentucky. Although this origin of the town is a firm tradition among Sophia's descendants, they do not know which of the three brothers was Sophia's father. Her tombstone in the family cemetery at Riggs Cross Roads where she is buried shows that she was born on January 22, 1801, and died on June 18, 1831.

However, the Family Bible lists her birth as January 28, 1801, and her death as June 18, 1835. It is thought the latter dates are probably correct. During their brief marriage, Sophia and Gideon had one child: Mary Campbell Riggs, b. January 22, 1830.

Following the death of Sophia, Gideon married Catherine F. Holden on March 8, 1838, in Marshall County, Tennessee. Goodspeeds History of Tennessee, 1886, page 1004, states that she was a native of Ireland. This book further states that she was born on September 1, 1815, and "at an early age immigrated to Alabama and from there to Tennessee where she married Mr. Riggs she being his third wife." After the marriage of Gideon and Catherine they lived in the brick house at the Cross Roads. They had two children:
Catherine W. Riggs, b. November 18, 1841
Gideon Wright Riggs, b. October 17, 1845 Gideon Riggs died in Williamson Co., Tenn., of pneumonia, after a grief illness of five days, in the 81st year of his age. Per Tenn paper they married abt 1-3-1829

"Mark Patterson Duncan came to America by sailing ship about 1813 when times were bad in Scotland. He first went to Illinois where he met an Irish girl by the name of Annie Moore. They were married and soon moved to Montgomery County,Tennessee, where they lived out their lives. They had fourteen children." ---Source: Karen Beasley

It is believed that all of the children were born in Montgomery Co.,TN, however, "he was living in Robertson County before he moved to Montgomery County? He was on the 1820 census so chances are his children who were born before 1828 where born in Robertson not Montgomery County."

(Notes are from Aunt Edna with some spelling changes.) "Mark Duncan, from Scotland, was a descendent of the blonde and blue eyed, Royal Duncan line. His mother was a Patterson. He married Annie Moore, who was from Dublin, County Cork, Ireland and who was already in America. (Grandfather) Mark Duncan lost an arm in the War of 1812. The Duncans lived in Illinois, then moved to (Montgomery Co. ?) Tennessee and had seven boys and seven girls." ***************** ck WFT vol 18; VA census 1860 # 317 WVA; 1850 # 309; 1840 #316; WFT # 18 Tree 300

Frederick Miller of Maury County, Tn.

By Clovis E. Miller

Frederick, son of John Frederick and Anna Maria (Arnd) Miller, was probably born about 1751 near the line separating Patrick and Henry Counties in Virginia.

His name appeared on a list of tithables (taxable individuals) for Halifax County, Virginia during the period 1782-1809. On April 12, 1787, Frederick married Mary Frances Carter of Halifax County. They were the parents of at least ten children, who were: Anderson, Vincent, Richard, Frances, Patsey, Giney 'Jane', John F., Elizabeth, Ewell and Charlotte Miller. On June 26, 1790, a deed was recorded in Halifax County (D.B.14, p. 636) for 200 acres of land on Birch Creek which Frederick Miller purchased from James Fears. On April 22, 1805, another deed was recorded (D.B. 21, p. 25) whereby Frederick Miller & c. sold 100 acres of land to Spencer Carter.

The Halifax County list of tithables for the period 1805-1809 show Frederick Miller's household with two tithables, indicating a son born prior to 1789. Available census records show the oldest son, listed above, to have been Anderson Miller, born about 1792, so there may have been one additional son in Frederick Miller's household.

The 200 acres on Birch Creek appear to have been sold to a William James on September 27, 1813 (D.B. 24, pp. 374, 467) just prior to the family's departure for Maury County, Tennessee where Frederick's elder brother, Harman Miller, had already taken up residence. In a letter to Don Brown of Toledo, Ohio, Jane A. Miller, a descendant of Frederick, stated that she had found reference to him in Maury County, Tennessee Court Records, as early as August 1814. We also know from court records that Frederick Miller was a buyer at the estate sale of one O.P. Nicholson on October 28, 1815 in Maury County. Frederick Miller first appeared on the Maury County tax rolls in 1816, and died intestate, on his farm there in the Fall of 1827.

Frederick married Mary Frances Carter on 12 Apr 1787 in Halifax, Virginia, USA. Mary was born in 1759 in Caroline County, VA and died before 1821 in , Maury, Tennessee, USA.

74 ix. John F. Miller (born in 1808 in , Halifax, Virginia, USA - died in 1875 in , Maury, Tennessee, USA)

149. Mary Frances Carter, daughter of George Carter and Frances Neale, was born in 1759 in Caroline County, VA and died before 1821 in , Maury, Tennessee, USA.

General Notes: According to Jane Miller, Mary Carter was a descendant of King Carter.

Mary married Frederick Miller on 12 Apr 1787 in Halifax, Virginia, USA. Frederick was born in 1755 in Halifax, Virginia, USA and died Fall 1827 in , Maury, Tennessee, USA at age 72.

150. Benjamin Williams, son of William Williams ⁵⁶ and Unknown, was born before 1778 and died in 1824 in , Randolph, North Carolina, USA.

General Notes: [jcenright.FTW]

The infomation for this part of the family was taken from: MORE ABOUT THE RIGGS FAMILY 1590-1973 with the cognate Ogilvie, Haley, and Brittain families, Descended from Edward Riggs Born about 1590 By CLARA NICHOLS DUGGAN And HELEN KATHERINE DUGGAN

When David Riggs and his sons settled on the land in Williamson County later known as Riggs Cross Roads, it was largely an untouched wilderness of trees and canebrake through which the Indians and buffalo roamed.
The family was fortunate in that their land had an abundant supply of water provided by several springs, and a stream called Spring Creek which flowed through the place and on into Duck River. This creek is fed by three large springs at its head, which accounts for its name. It has two forks, the Riggs land being on the west fork. The east fork rises in Rutherford County and is also fed by springs. In the fall of the year, in times of the most severe drought when the creeks have stopped running, these springs will rise enough without rain to start the creeks running again in Holts Corner, which is about two miles south of the head of the creek.
The 555 acres of land on which David settled, and on which taxes are officially recorded in 1811, is in the southeast corner of Williamson County surrounding what is now Riggs Cross Roads. This land is near the adjoining counties of Rutherford, Bedford, and Marshall, the latter county having been cut out of Bedford in 1836. David eventually acquired land in all of these counties. There is a tradition that from a rail fence on the Riggs place one could spit into three counties: Williamson, Rutherford, and Bedford. It can be assumed that David and his sons bought their land in Tennessee after having sold their land in North Carolina. It is probable that the property at the Cross Roads was purchased gradually in small tracts. There are numerous tax deed records of land transactions by David and his sons in Williamson, Bedford, Marshall, and Rutherford Counties. The absence of other deeds may be attributed to the inadequate court house records of the early times or to confusion regarding the identity of the county in which the land was located. David built his log house on this new land in the northeast corner of what is now Riggs Cross Roads, about one and one-half miles north of the present Holts Corner. The Cross Roads is at the intersection of the new Horton Highway (U.S. 31-A) and the Flat Creek Road. The present U. S. Highway 31-A was first called the Fishing Ford Road, was later called the Nashville-Huntsville Road and prior to the Civil War became the Nolensville Pike. Goodspeeds' History of Tennessee states that the Nolensville Pike was built in 1841 and was 15 miles long. The Flat Creek Road was previously called the Columbia Road. David and his son Gideon were active in the marking and clearing of this vital roadway and others in the vicinity. This is attested by many entries in Williamson County minute books.
The Fishing Ford Road ran north and south by Riggs Cross Roads, and its importance in the development of the whole area from Nashville to Huntsville, Alabama, and on to Florida is told by W. N. Lloyd in the Winter 1973 issue of the Marshall County Historical Quarterly. He says, in part

Fishing Ford Road is probable, if not certainly, the oldest traveled thoroughfare in Tennessee. Long before there was white permanent residence, in that section of our country now know as the State of Tennessee, of formerly the State of Franklin, this was a primitive but well used trail. The immense stock of game in Middle Tennessee created a north-south animal trail in lines of easiest passage from one salt lick to a watering place to a ford across the larger rivers. This trail was used by the northern and southern tribes of Indians in commerce and war with each other, as well as travel to the fantastic neutral hunting grounds in Tennessee for major sources of meat.

* * * * *

The North Carolina and Cumberland Gap routes led to the Fishing Ford Road route and stopped there. At the influx of settlers the Creeks, particularly, used the trail for raids on the settlements. The Americans were wanting to go West in their expansion, and used the trail more for commerce than for settlement. At this time the Cherokees, Creeks, and Choctaws were too powerful for the meager settlements to involve in a full war, and the intelligence and education of these nations tended more to harmony.

. . . When the Creeks gave an excuse for military opposition, Jackson recognized the route as the only possible overland method of transferring an army to the South. He also eyed as means and place of recruitment, for as word spread of his southern advance, hunters could wait or assemble along the trail. I do not know the route Fishing Ford Road, and its connection, took through Kentucky to the Ohio, but I am sure it followed, as in Tennessee, the animal trails of buffalo, elk, and deer from watering place and salt lick to each other to a ford along the Ohio. It followed each ford most directly in its path to the South.
The road then followed from a ford east of Nashville, along what became known in Civil War days as the Nolensville Pike, where even in my Mother's lifetime stage coaches stopped at Nolensville for water and a change of teams. The trail followed south to Chapel Hill and crossed the Duck a few miles to the east at a ford, which was later bridged. From this ford, it led to the Big Spring at Farmington and from there along its present course to Old Belfast, just north of the present town of Belfast. From there it is marked south for some miles to Elk Ridge, between Belfast and between Petersburg and Delina, and on to the Elk River, west of Fayetteville, at Harmes, Tennessee. The old route may still be seen by the tree line, where it ends, crosses a farm and picks up south of the farm on another road leading in the direction of Harmes. The route is marked on state maps of Alabama to Horseshoe Bend where Jackson defeated the Creeks.
Davy Crockett and Sam Houston reportedly joined him along this road, as well as ancestors of many people still living near by in the vicinities made accessible to the road.
Jackson's later war, against the Seminoles, followed the same route to Alabama and hence to Florida, and he was always able to pick up volunteers along the route. Historically, the road was by far more famous, and valuable to the development of Middle Tennessee than the Natchez Trace of later commercial value. It still holds the possibility of cheap and easy reconstruction to a historic monument which will be far more used for recreational travel to Huntsville than the Natchez Trace.
The road was mainly kept in development and usage by its sections being diverted into turnpikes in Davidson, Rutherford, Bedford, and Lincoln Counties, when roads or trails so maintained by individuals or companies became to be known as "Pikes". Goodspeed, Ramsay and Haywood in their histories of Tennessee mention the Fishing Ford Pike in each of the counties.
The history of Middle Tennessee really lies along its forgotten route. Along it lay the commerce, the settlements, the inns, the cemeteries, and the real history of Middle Tennessee. I would like very much to see its restoration and historic marking before it becomes only a legend.

During these early times, transportation to and from Nashville was largely wagon and horseback. A wagonload of farm products would be taken to Nashville for sale, and the wagon returned with needed supplies.
According to Mr. Wilbur F. Creighton in his book, Building of Nashville, Nashville companies began to operate stagecoach lines in the early 19th century as fast as suitable roads were constructed. We do not know the exact date that a scheduled stagecoach started operating between Nashville and Chapel Hill, with Riggs Cross Roads as a way station. However, Paul Ogilvie know that his great-uncle Alfred owned this line from 1895 to 1905,k and that his grandfather, Rufus Ogilvie, Sr., drove the coaches.
The stagecoaches were put out of business by the railroads. Though they have passed from the scene in the face of progress, they served their young country well.
Although the land at the Cross Roads was first settled by David, b. 1749, he did not remain there long. Sometime between 1816 and 1820 he moved to Bedford County and was succeeded by Gideon as owner of the Cross Roads. Gideon continued to develop and expand the property. At the time of his death in 1871, the property in the vicinity of the Cross Roads consisted of 1,000 acres, and there were five log houses on the place in addition to the stately brick house in which he lived. The village compound also contained a post office, a blacksmith shop, and a church.
The first log house was the one built in the northwest corner of the Cross Roads and occupied by David. Later, it was occupied by Gideon until he built his brick house across the road from it, between 1830 and 1840. The original log house then became the home of his daughter, Mary Campbell Riggs Haley. This house had two sections with a dogtrot between them. It was replaced by the present two-story frame house about 1910.
Although sometimes occupied by family members, especially the newlyweds, three of the other log houses were evidently built for tenants of possibly for slaves, as Williamson County Court House tax records show that Gideon paid taxes on nine slaves in Tennessee.
One of these three houses was located about one-fourth mile east of the Cross Roads. This house was on that portion of the land later inherited by Gideon's grandson, Jordan Riggs. In 1913 Jordan built a two-story, white, frame house near the site of the old cabin, which was later torn down. The new house is standing, but it is no longer owned by the Riggs family. Another of the three structures was located on the west side of the Fishing Ford Road about one-fourth mile north of the Cross Roads. The remaining log cabin, a tenant house, still stands, though shakily, on the north side of the Flat Creek Road about one-half mile from the Cross Roads. It is on the land inherited by Gideon's daughter, Mary Campbell Riggs Haley, but is no longer in the family.
The blacksmith shop was situated in the southeast corner of the Cross Roads. It was torn down in the early 1900's.
After their marriage in 1867, Gideon's daughter, Catherine Wright Riggs, and her husband, Thomas Chesley Brittain, built a large, two-story, log house a few hundred yards southwest of the Cross Roads on the land later inherited from Gideon by Catherine's son, Oliver Riggs Brittain. In 1898 Oliver replaced this log house with the present large, two-story, frame house. At this same time, Oliver built the log tenant house, which now stands on the south side of Flat Creek Road, just west of the Church of Christ.
In 1884, Thomas C. Brittain built a tobacco factory on the back of the property at the Cross Roads, and his son, Oliver Riggs Brittain, later added a tobacco warehouse facing the pike. More about these successful enterprises may be found earlier in this book in the section about the Brittains. The tobacco buildings do not stand today.
The post office at Riggs Cross Roads was established on January 7, 1834, and discontinued October 8, 1872. Gideon Riggs served as postmaster from January 7, 1834, to March 15, 1854, and from February 27, 1866, until his death on November 17, 1871. The foregoing information was furnished by the U. S. General Services Administration, Washington, D.C. The intervening time when Gideon was not postmaster was the period when he was in Arkansas. During his absence the office was held by Stephen Jordan, brother of his daughter-in-law, Nancy Jordan Riggs, and Joseph F. Brittain. At its beginning, the post office must have been operated from Gideon's home, as some of his living descendants remember seeing the letterbox fixtures in the old house before it was torn down.
During the Civil War the Yankees made a devastating march through the Cross Roads area. They burned the rail fences and took the horses and cattle. They found and stole the silver and money, which had been buried. Some years later lightning struck the brick house and it had to be torn down. It was replaced with a simple frame cottage. Of course, things were never again the same at the Cross Roads. Yet, despite these tragedies there did follow a short golden period of relative stability, from about 1900 to the First World War (1914). Those days provide nostalgic recollections for the authors. Then it was that as children they found excitement and enchantment at the Cross Roads, where they spent many of their summers.
The 35 mile trip from their home in Nashville to visit their grandmother and other relatives at the Cross Roads was made on the stagecoach, which departed before daylight from Flat Rock (now called Woodbine) at the edge of town on Nolensville Pike. A stop for a change of horses and lunch, or dinner as it was called, occurred at the hotel in Nolensville. The meal cost 25 cents. The fare on the stagecoach was $1.00. After several rest stops for water from springs along the way, we arrived at the Cross Roads around four or five o'clock in the afternoon.
Then the happy times really began - playing with our cousins, enjoying good food, picking blackberries and swimming in the creek afterwards, sliding down haystacks, and even helping with the chores, though often only with some prodding. We played around the springhouse which Gideon had built below the house at the Cross Roads. Ripe berries hung from the mulberry trees surrounding the spring, and fell at our feet to be eaten. The trees around the spring are gone, but the walls of the springhouse in this once lovely place still stand and can be seen from the highway near the cemetery.
The wheat threshing was one of the big events of the summer. The hands were fed bounteously. Ham, fried chicken, every vegetable that grew in the garden, and numerous cakes and pies were put on the table. The table had to be set not once. Bu twice and often three times, in order to get everyone fed.
The Cross Roads was a social center of the community. There, relatives and friends came for dinner after church on Sunday and stayed for the afternoon to exchange news and ideas as will as gossip. The influx of relatives from the city who came to visit in the summer was welcomed for the stimulus they brought, notwithstanding the extra work their visits required. These memories of the Cross Roads are a dear possession of many family members still living.
The picture at the Cross Roads has changed now. The Industrial Revolution has had its effect and taken its toll. First, there was the construction of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, completed in 1914, which cut a great swath through the middle of the farm. The railroad righ-of-way came directly through the church at the Cross Roads, necessitating the relocation of the church, to its great disadvantage. A church building was erected on the Flat Creek Road on the Brittain farm, part of Gideon's original land. The present house was left standing only a few feet from the deep cut of the railroad and its beautiful location was irreparably marred.
The next step of "progress" was the construction of U. S. Highway 31-A in the 1930'', which took another wide swipe through the farm since its route deviated from that of the old Nolensville Pike. The homestead cottage at the Cross Roads still stands facing the old Nolensville Pike, which is now designated as Riggs Road on the General Highway Map of Williamson County, Tennessee, January 1970. The turnoff from U. S. 31-A through the railroad underpass to the south portion of the old pike carries a sign "Fuller Road." The house is caught in the web of these roads and the railroad, and its former claim to beauty and dignity is completely gone.
The great depression of the 1930's, with its many years of declining farm prices, had a disastrous effect. Many of the younger members of the family could no longer "make it" on the farm, so they moved to the cities, where they have done well. The original land that was owned by Gideon has been subdivided into six parts, each with a residence. Only three portions of the old farm no remain in the ownership of the Riggs family as follows: 1. The homestead cottage at the Cross Roads belongs to Ollie Cathey Riggs, the widow of Aaron Gambill Riggs, who was the great-great-grandson of David Riggs, the settler. 2. The Fuller house and fifty acres belong to Allen Fuller, a great-great-great-grandson of David. 3. The Brittain house and the farm of about 300 acres are owned by the heirs of Leonard Brittain, deceased, great-great-grandson of David.
Thus the history of the family has dramatized the changes in the social and economic fabric of our country during the past 165 years as a simpler past has gradually merged with an every more complex present. Times are changing again. Prices for farm products and farm land have risen. If one of Gideon's descendants has his farm today in its entirety, he would be a rich man.

The family cemetery at the Cross Roads has luckily survived the encroachment of the highway and the railroad. It is located at the intersection of U. S. Highway 31-A and the Flat Creek Road, about one-mile north of Holts Corner. It is reserved for and dedicated to descendants of Gideon Riggs.
The family takes pride in its maintenance, and a family gathering is held there each Mother's Day. A bronze plaque in memory of Gideon has been placed in the right-hand side of the stone entrance. The plaque and entrance were designed by Dan Fuller and constructed under the supervision of Harold (Buster) Fuller, great-great-grandsons of Gideon. The plaque bears the following inscription:

From HISTORY OF KENTUCKY BAPTISTS, by J. H. Spencer, Vol. 2., pages
23-24 [1885].

# Note:

RICHARD CAVE was one of the pioneer preachers of central Kentucky,
and was very useful among the early settlers. He was the son of
Captain Benjamin Cave of Orange county, Virginia, where he was born
to far from the year 1750. At an early age, he was led to Christ,
under the preaching of the famous Samuel Harris and James Read, and
united with Upper Spottsylvania church. He was set apart to the
ministry, by this church, while he was quite young. After
preaching a few years in his native county, he followed Lewis
Craig, whose sister he had married, and his brother William Cave,
who had moved the fall before, to the wilderness of Kentucky, in
1782. He settled in Garrard county, where he united with Gilbert's
Creek church. This was the same church he had first joined, but
now, in a new location, and bearing a new name. He remained at
Gilbert's Creek some tow years after Lewis Craig, the old pastor,
had moved away, and, with George Stokes Smith, supplied the church
with the ministry of the word. In the spring of 1785, he moved to
Woodford county, where he went into the constitution of Clear Creek
church. Here he was associated in the ministry with John Taylor,
John Dupuy, James Rucker and, soon afterwards, with John Tanner and
the venerable John Sutton. He was regarded as a man of great
piety, and was very zealous and useful, especially during a great
revival that commenced under his ministry at Clear Creek, in 1800.
The church received 326 by baptism, during one year, and was
increased to 558 members. This was the most useful period of Mr.
Cave's ministry; for not long afterwards, he fell into the pit that
has ineffaceably spotted the garments of multitudes of good men.
He contracted the habit of drinking too freely. When reproved for
this sin, he repented bitterly, and could never again be induced to
taste spirituous liquors. His zeal for the cause of Christ was
undiminished, but his usefulness was much impaired. Not long
before his death, he arose to close the exercise of a meeting he
attended, but was overpowered by a flood of tears and compelled to
sit down. He died of a protracted diarrhea, in July, 1816. A few
days before his departure, he expressed great serenity of soul, and
a patient acquiescence in the divine will. He had been a teacher
of music and was an excellent singer. A little before his last
breath, he sand in a loud voice, the words: --

"O for an overcoming faith
To cheer my dying hours;
To triumph o'er the monster death,
And all its frightful powers."

The following information is quoted directly from Guilford County, N.C. - A Map Supplement, by Fred Hughes; published by The Custom House of Jamestown, NC, copyright 1988 by The Custom House.
Many people lived in Guilford, for which there are no land reports. Some lived on rented land, some on "public land," in anticipation of purchase, some plainly were squatters. Only six of these people are listed on this map, to show how widespread was this practice. One is Jacob Schumacher (C-6). A strong tradition says that a Shoemaker lived adjoining Friedan's Church; that he and the church shared a common spring; that the first name of the church was Shoemaker's Church; that Shoemaker was a Tory; that at the battle of Guilford Court House he killed Arthur Forbes; that Shoemaker's Whig neighbors captured him in the church yard and killed him there; that he was carried to his grave on the church door.

At least part of this tradition is borne out by the records. In 1780 and 1781, Jacob Schumacher was listed as a chain carrier on land grant surveys in the neighborhood of Friedan's Church. There are references to "Shoemaker's line." In 1781 after the battle of Guilford Court House, Elisabeth Forbes applied to the state for aid. She was, as widow of Arthur, "allowed 25 barrels of corn for 1782 and 1783, out of specific tax of Guilford County." At the August 1781 term of Court, Arthur Forbes' will was probated. In 1787, Susannah Shoemaker obtained a land grant near Friedan's Church and bought other land later. Susannah did not remarry, and died in 1813. She left twelve legatees - George, Barbry, Caty, Jacob, Coonrod, Susannah, Adam, John, Daniel, Mary, Christian and Elisabeth. Susannah's grant joined two non-owners, Jacob and George Simmerman (Zimmerman), who also served as chain carriers in the community. Guilford land records indicated that it may have been thirty-five years before a Simmerman, or Zimmerman, obtained land - and it was in the Friedan's Church Community.

Elizabeth married John Forbes in 1786 in Guilford, North Carolina, USA. John was born before 1765 and died in 1819 in , Wilson, Tennessee, USA.

Elizabeth next married Arthur Forbes, son of William Forbes and Living, in 1771 in , Guilford, North Carolina, USA. Arthur was born in 1746 in , North Carolina, died in Apr 1781 in Greensboro, Guilford, North Carolina, USA at age 35, and was buried in Alamance Presbyterian Church, Guilford, North Carolina, USA.^¹¹⁸

• Military Service: Served as a Colonel in the Revolutionary War. Was killed in battle in North Carolina.

These two men keep getting in the middle of my hunt for "my" John Davis. I know they are brothers [cousins] and I know they migrated to Posey, Gibson Co. Indiana, from Rowan County, and I know they married Redwine sisters in 1798 or so. But who are their parents and how are they related to John Davis? Is anyone here researching Robert Clark Davis and Isaac Ross Davis? And if someone has more information on John Redwine's family, I would like to add that to my research. Thanks, Pat Fleury

Note: Josiah Allen settled in Colleton County, SC in what was later known as Ninety-six District, and still later became Edgefield County. Old Colleton County was discontinued after the Revolutionary War. 1 2
Change Date: 5 MAR 2000

Josiah Allen son of Robert Allen of Lunenburg, Co. VA., was born about 1732. He is listed as a tithable in 1750 and this would account for his age to be about 18 years of age.

Family records indicates he was married twice. The first wife died after the family moved to South Carolina. He then married (2) to Elizabeth DeLoach.

Josiah settled in what was or became Ninety-Six-District. He was Lieutenant in the Revolutionary War. Josiah was one of three men who was captured by the Tories and carried into the swamps and put to death. [Died in the Revolutionary War during retreat of Gen. Nathaniel Greene. Lieutenant Josiah Allen was captured by the Tories along with two of his militia comrades in June, 1781. The three men were taken into the swamps and put to death on the orders of "Bloody Bill" Cunningham.]

The estate papers of Josiah Allen can be found in Probate Court Records in Abbeville, SC., and names James Allen as the oldest son. James was the next of kin and was appointed administrator of his fathers estate. This tells us that James is from the first marriage.

After the death of Josiah the widow married Aaron Etheridge. Aaron died in 1821 and left his will in Edgefield Co. SC. He names Elizabeth as his wife and widow of Josiah Allen. He also names three of the Allen children by her first marriage, namely; Nancy Mathis, Milbury Clark Allen, and Drury Allen. Elizabeth died prior to 1843

Children of Josiah Allen are:

1. James Allen born about 1753 in Lunenburg Co. VA. died in Montgomery Co. AL.
2. Josiah Allen Jr. Lunenburg Co. VA. married Jennet Etheridge.
3. Robert Allen born 1760 SC. died Montgomery Co. AL
4. Young Allen born about 1763 SC., lived and died in SC
5. Martha or Polly Allen
6. Milbury "Milly" Allen
7. Nancy Allen married Lewis Mathews and Bailey Crouch
8. Drury Allen born 1772 SC. Moved to Clarke Co. AL

Has anyone been able to locate the land grants given to Josiah Allen (son of Robert Allen, Jr. and husband of Elizabeth Deloach) in South Carolina. Here is what I have found in "Allens of the Southern States" -

Land was surveyed in South Carolina for Josiah Allen in 1762. A grant for 100 acres in Colleton County, surrounded on all sides by vacant land, was approved and recorded on March 8, 1763. (Royal Land Grants, Vol. 10, p. 457, South Carolina Archives). Another tract of 100 acres was granted to Josiah on April 7, 1772. That land was bounded on two sides by land Josiah owned, on one side by Jacob Smith and on one side by vacant land. (Colonial Plats, p. 34, South Carolina Archives).

As I understand it, the area of Edgefield and Saluda Counties was originally called Colleton County. From other things written in "Allens of the Southern States" it appears Josiah's land was actually in present day Saluda County near Richland Creek, perhaps near the Mt. Willing community. Josiah also received a land grant on Mine Creek from what I have read. If anyone has located his land I would appreciate hearing from you. You can e-mail me directly, if you like, at [email protected]. Thanks.

Josiah married Elizabeth DeLoach, daughter of William DeLoach and Judith Wall, about 1762 in Virginia. Elizabeth was born about 1735 in Virginia and died about 1818 in Green Co., GA about age 83.

Josiah next married Ms. Winn on 1 Jun 1751-1 Jun 1752 in , Lunenburg, Virginia, USA. Ms. died about 1760 in 96th Dist. (now Abbeville & Greenwood Cos), South Carolina.

160 i. Josiah Allen (born about 1756 in , Lunenburg, Virginia, USA - died in Oct 1796 in Colington, South Carolina)

ii. James West Allen (born in 1753 in Lunenburg Co. VA - died in Montgomery Co. AL.)

iii. Robert Allen (born in 1760 in South Carolina - died in , Montgomery, Alabama)

321. Ms. Winn died about 1760 in 96th Dist. (now Abbeville & Greenwood Cos), South Carolina.

Andreas's parentage is unproven. Some believe it is Johannes Phillipp Wolfgang Kilian bor n 1 May 1654, but research indicates this is probably not true. I have included him in my da tabase but disconnected to Andreas.
Some have death in Lincoln Co., NC.
Buried Old St. Paul Luthern Church Catawba, NC.
Tombstone reads born 1702 died 14 Apr 1788.
Oath of Allegiance says the passengers came from "the palatinate upon the Rhine and places ad jacent." This includes parts of Germany now in France (Alsace and Lorraine) and the German s peaking part of Switzerland.
Arrived at Philadelphia, PA with 3 children on the English ship 'Adventure' 4 Oct 1732. Signe d oath of allegiance to colonial government 23 Sep 1732. Difference must be due to 11 day dif ference in Julian vs Gregorian calendars? England and colonies were on Julian, Germany Gregor ian in 1732.
Passenger list says he was 30 which gives birth year 1701 or 1702.
Settled on the south side of the Catawba river in NC in 1749.

General Notes: [jcenright.FTW]

In 1775 Timothy secured a grant of land from the colonial authorities of North Carolina, situated in what is now Lincoln co.. He afterward obtained other grants of land and his sons also secured grants that were chiefly in Surrey co. which seems to have been the general headquarters of the family. One of his sons, Zadok, was sheriff of that county about 1788.

the following from:: MORE ABOUT THE RIGGS FAMILY 1590-1973 with the cognate Ogilvie, Haley, and Brittain families, Descended from Edward Riggs Born about 1590 By CLARA NICHOLS DUGGAN and HELEN KATHERINE DUGGAN provided to me by Linda Klein

The list of Timothy's children as given in Roster and Soldiers, The Tennessee Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution (1894-1960) omits the name, Sarah, and shows an additional son, Samuel. It also gives additional information covering the following children: Zadok, born 1753 in New Jersey; Daniel, born 1765; Timothy, Jr., born 1760, North Carolina; Reuben, born 1770, North Carolina; David, born November 8, 1749, New Jersey; Israel, married February 28, 1811, to Elizabeth Winsett. Timothy and his sons received grants of land in North Carolina amounting to 2,040 acres. The first grant, for 640 acres, was received by Timothy in 1773 from George III, the King of England. Subsequent grants to Timothy amounted to 900 acres, and he and his sons later acquired the remaining 500 acres. These grants are recorded by the State Department in Raleigh, North Carolina, as follows:

Timothy Riggs, Tryon County: 640 acres, February 28, 1775, on both sides of Sandy Run.
Timothy Riggs, Rutherford County: 400 acres, August 9, 1787, on a branch of Webb Creek; 200 acres, August 9, 1787 of Second Broad River: 200 acres July 9, 1794, on Hawkins Branch; 100 acres, August 9, 1787, on Cow Creek.
Timothy, Daniel and Reuben Riggs: 300 acres, July 9, 1794, on Little Legin Creek. Timothy Riggs Jr.: 100 acres, August 9, 1787 on Sandy Run.
Timothy Riggs Jr., 100 acres, July 9, 1794 on Puzzle Creek.

Timothy Riggs was a patriot who served his country during the Revolution as a Justice of the Peace in old Tryon and Rutherford Counties, North Carolina. He served without a break from the time of the "Court held at Newbern 10th November, 1769," through the entire Revolutionary period. During the period 1775-1777 he and two other justices composed the Court as the only session held during that time (July 1776). Doubtless he was also a member of the Committee of Safety of Rutherford County (originally part of Tryon County) for he continued as Justice of the Peace, and therefore a member of the County Court, every year up to and including 1794.

350. Christopher Raymond Perry, son of Judge Freeman Perry and Living, was born on 4 Dec 1760 in Newport, Rhode Island and died on 8 Jun 1818 in Newport, Rhode Island at age 57.

General Notes: PERRY, Christopher Raymond, naval officer, born in Newport, Rhode Island, 4 December, 1761; died there, 1 June, 1818. He was fifth in descent from Edround Perry, a Quaker, who came from Devonshire, England, to Sandwich, Massachusetts, and wrote "A Railing against the Court of Plymouth," dated 1st day, 1st month, 1676, for which he was heavily fined. His son emigrated to Rhode Island. Christopher enlisted in the " Kingston Reds," served in the patriot army, and then on a privateer, and on the " Mifflin." He was captured and lay three months in the "Jersey" prison-ship, but escaped, re-enlisted on the "Trumbull," and was in the battle with the "Watt." Again on a privateer he was captured and kept a prisoner at Newry, Ireland, where he first met his future wife, Sarah Alexander. In the mercantile marine he made voyages to the East Indies, and on 9 January, 1798, he was made post-captain in the United States navy. He built and commanded the " General Greene," cruising in the West Indies, co-operating with Tons-saint L'Ouverture in the civil war in Santo Domingo, and displaying the United States flag in Louisiana. In 1801, when the navy was nearly disbanded, Captain Perry was made collector of Newport, and later he returned to private life.--His wife, Sarah Alexander, born in Newry, County Down, Ireland, in 1768" died in New London, Connecticut, 4 December, 1830. Her grandfather, James Wallace, an officer in the Scotch army and a signer of the Solemn League and Covenant, fled in 1660, with others, from County Ayr to the north of Ireland. She was left an orphan at an early age, grew up in the family of her uncle, and became thoroughly familiar with the historic ground of the neighborhood of Newry. Accompanying her parents' friend, Mr. Calbraith to this country, she married on her arrival, at the house of Dr. Benjamin Rush, Mr. Perry, then mate of the ship. She became the mother of five sons--Oliver Hazard, Raymond H. J., Matthew Calbraith, James Alexander, and Nathanael Hazard--all of whom were officers in the United States navy. Of her three daughters, Sarah Wallace married Captain George W. Rodgers, United States navy, and the other, Jane Tweedy, married Dr. William Butler, United States navy, the father of Senator Matthew Calbraith Butler, of South Carolina. To great strength of character Mrs. Perry added high intellectual power and rare social grace, training her children with extraordinary care to high ideals of life and duty. After the victory on Lake Erie, some farmers in Rhode Island declared it was in reality "Mrs. Perry's victory."--Their son, Oliver Hazard, naval officer, D. in South Kingston, Rhode Island, 23 August, 1785" died in Port Spain, Island of Trinidad, 23 August, 1819, was carefully trained by his mother, who "fitted him to command others by teaching him early to obey," narrated to him the deeds of her military ancestors, and taught him how and what to read. His favorite books were the Bible. Plutarch's "Lives," Shakespeare, and Addison. In the private schools of Kingston, Tower Hill, and Newport he made rapid progress, and excelled in the study of mathematics and navigation. lib was the pupil of Count Rochambeau. At the age of eleven he was confirmed in the Protestant Episcopal church. In 1797 he removed with his father to Warren, Rhode Island, where the latter supervised the building of the frigate " General Greene," and Oliver received his commission as midshipman, 7 April, 1799. He cruised in the West Indies, visiting also Louisiana, and in the "Adams," " Constellation," "Constitution," and "Essex" served twice in the Tripolitan war. He was made a lieutenant, 15 January, 1807, and, after building a fleet of gun-boats, commanded the schooner "Revenge," cruising off the southern coast of the United States. He was honorably acquitted by a court of inquiry that was summoned to examine into the loss of the " Revenge" by wreck off Watch Hill, Rhode Island, 8 January, 1811. In command of the Newport flotilla of gun-boats, in waiting for the war of 1812, he gave prolonged and detailed study to the science and art of gunnery and naval tactics. When the French engineer Toussard, at the request of Gem Washington, wrote, and in 1809 published, his "Artillerist," the name of Oliver Hazard Perry was among the first on the list of subscribers. When the war with England began there was probably no better ordnance officer in the American navy, and in the training" of his crews he was unwearied in personal attention to details. By assembling his gun-boats occasionally, he gained actual knowledge of the evolutions of a fleet. He also practised sham battles by dividing his force into two nominally hostile squadrons, and thus acquired facility in manceuvring several vessels, and a knowledge of how and when to take advantage of critical moments and situations. He applied repeatedly for a sea command, but being" disappointed in obtaining either the "Argus" or the " Hornet," he tendered his services to Commander Isaac Chauncey on the lakes, at whose request he was ordered to Lake Erie. Within twenty-four hours after receipt of orders, on 17 February he had sent off a detachment of fifty men, and on the 22d he set; out with his younger brother, Alexander. Travelling chiefly in sleighs, he reached Erie on 27 March. There he found Noah Brown, shipwright, and Sailing-Master Dobbins, awaiting the arrival of fifty carpenters from Philadelphia, who were more than five weeks in making the wintry journey. From the virgin forest the squadron was to be built, but the keels of two twenty-gun brigs and three gun-boats had already been laid. Incredible toil and protracted attention to details, in a country little better than a, wilderness, enabled Perry to collect a force of nine vessels of 1,671 tons, with 54 guns capable of throwing a broadside of 936 pounds of metal, of which 288 pounds could be fired at long range. In his squadron, only the " Lawrence" and "Niagara," of 500 tons burden, could be considered men-of-war. These carried each 20 guns, 2 being long twelve-pounders, and 18 of them thirty-two-pounder carronades. The other vessels were of slight construction, without bulwarks, but were armed with heavy long guns, which constituted their excellence. The long-range guns were the chief dependence of the Americans, as their carronades were useless except at very short range. These fired a scattering charge at a low velocity, but with frightful effect at a few rods' distance, and could be worked by small squads rapidly. In the "yard-arm engagements" of the British these weapons had been very effective since their invention in 1769. They took their name front the Carron iron-works in Scotland. To make his carronade fire most effective, Perry relied not only on grape and canister shot. but on the favorite American ammunition, langrage. This dismantling shot was made out of scraps of iron sewed up in leather bags. Encouraging apparent prodigality at the anvils, though real economy in fixed ammunition, a large quantity of bits of bolts, bars, hoops, chisel-cut-tings, and splinters were collected and made into carronade cartridges. As the aim of the naval artillerist of to-day is to pierce the boiler or disable the rudder, so in the days of sailing-ships the purpose was to cut away masts, sails, and rigging, converting the enemy's ship into a helpless hulk. In addition to numerical superiority in ships and weight of metal thrown, the Americans were destined to have the advantages of wind and the smooth water, which enabled the small vessels to he off safely at long range and damage the enemy. Perry's force in men consisted of about 500 landsmen and sailors, many of whom had never seen salt water. These were, after five months' constant drilling, changed into good artillerists. On the British side, Captain Robert Heriot Barclay, surmounting almost equal difficulty, dismantling the fort at Amherstburg to equip his largest ship, finally succeeded in collecting a squadron of six vessels of 1,460 tons, manned by nearly 500 men. His cannon were 63 in number, nine more than the American. but most of his metal was carronade, his total broadside was but 459 pounds, and of this only 195 pounds could be fired at long range. In long-gun metal the Americans excelled the British three to two, in carronades two to one, in ships three to two. Perry moved out from Put-in bay on the morning of 15 September, 1813, with all his squadron, including the " Lawrence," "Niagara," "Caledonia, Scorpion," " Porcupine," "Tigress," "Ariel," " Seiners," and "Trippe," to meet the British force, , consisting of the "Chippewa," "Detroit," "Hunter, "Queen Charlotte," "Lady Prevost," and "Little Belt." Barclay, one of Nelson's veterans, though "confronted by famine and Indian treachery," expected easy victory. As the fleets approached each other at about eleven o'clock, the bugle sounded from the flag-ship, the men of the whole British line gave three cheers, and the long guns of the "Detroit" opened on the "Lawrence " at the distance of a mile and a half. By noon the battle began in earnest, in the form of a duel, the heaviest vessel in each fleet confronting the other. Being able to employ at once a heavier battery in a smaller space, Barclay had at first a manifest advantage With more enthusiasm than science, the gunners of the " Lawrence," depending too much on their carronades, fired too fast, and, overshotting their stumpy guns, were unable seriously to harm the "Detroit," though pitting" and denting her sides The "Lawrence." on the contrary, was reduced by the steady British fire to a hulk. After two hours only one gun was left mounted, the cockpit was crowded with wounded, and only eighteen unharmed men. including commander and surgeon, were left on board. Meanwhile the most effective gunnery on the American side had been done by the heavy cannon of the " Caledonia." " Scorpion," and " Ariel," which had nobly assisted Perry, while the "Nigara, for some reason, had remained in the rear, and the more distant vessels were able to do little to prevent what seemed an imminent British victory. At this moment, with the audacity of genius, Perry called four sailors to man the boat, and with his brother Alexander, the flag of the "Lawrence" wrapped round his arm, he left his ship. At first shielded by the battle smoke, and then safely escaping the volley of the enemy, he reached, after a fifteen minutes' pull, the "Niagara." Sending Captain Elliot to bring up the laggard vessels, he ordered sail to bring his best ship close to the " Detroit." The breeze now freshened, quickly speeding the "Niagara" and the American schooners into action. The " Queen Charlotte," in endeavoring to get a position for a broadside, to be followed by boarding the coining "Niagara," was disabled in her sail-gear by the langrage shot of Perry's carronades, and, falling foul of the " Detroit," the two ships became entangled. Taking advantage of this, the American schooners took raking positions. The full battery of the "Niagara," joining in the steady and rapid fire, swept the British decks, and filled the air with canister, grape, ball, and scrap-iron, while the Kentucky riflemen in the tops, acting as marines, picked off every enemy visible. At three o'clock the British flag was hauled down, and for the first time in her history Great Britain lost an entire squadron, which surrendered to a young man of twenty-seven. On the deck of the "Lawrence" Perry despatched to the secretary of the navy a brief account of the victory, and shortly afterward to General William H. Harrison, the famous line" "We have met the enemy, and they are ours." In the military operations at Detroit and in the battle of the Thames, 5 October, 1813, he took an important part, both with his fleet and as commander of the naval battalion on the land, and on his return to the east he was honored by public demonstrations in many towns and cities. Congress voted him thanks, a medal, and the rank of captain. The city of Boston presented him with a set of silver, and other cities voted him thanks. He assisted in the defence of Baltimore, and in the squadron that was sent to the Mediterranean in 1815 he commanded the frigate "Java." In June, 1819, while in command of the "John Adams" and other United States vessels in the West Indies, he was attacked by the yellow fever in the Orinoco, and died after a brief illness. His remains, removed by act of congress in a ship-of-war, were buried in Newport, 4 December, 1826. In addition to the granite obelisk erected by the state of Rhode Island and a marble statue by Walcutt, which was dedicated in Cleveland, Ohio, in September, 1860, a bronze statue of Perry by William G. Turner was unveiled on 10 September, 1885. It stands opposite his old home, and was erected by citizens of Newport. The state of Ohio has also placed in the capitol at Washington a picture of the battle of Lake Erie and of Perry leaving the "Lawrence " for the " Niagara." Biographies of Perry have been written by John M. Niles (Hartford, 1820)" Alexander S. Mackenzie (2 vols., New York, 1843)" and James Fenimore Cooper, in his " Lives of Distinguished American Naval Officers" (Philadelphia, 1846). See also the account of the dedication of the statue at Cleveland, with the addresses and other proceedings (Cleveland, 1861).--Another son, Matthew Calbraith, naval officer, born in Newport, Rhode Island, 10 April, 1794 ; died in New York city, 4 March, 1858, entering the navy as midshipman, 16 January, 1809, served in the schooner " Revenge" under his brother Oliver. He was ordered, on 10 October, 1810, to the flag-ship " President," and for three years was trained under the eye of Commander John Rodgers. He was in the affair of the "Little Belt," of which his diary gives a clear account, and in the chase of the "Belvidera" when Rodgers fired the first hostile shot afloat in the war of 1812; and in the cruises as commerce-destroyer of the " President" in the seas of northern Europe when twenty British men-of-war in pairs were scouring the ocean for the American frigate. He was made a lieutenant, 27 February, 1813, spent several months of inaction on the blockaded frigate " United States," and, after recruiting work and service on the brig " Chippewa," he obtained furlough and made commercial voyages to Europe. In 1819 he was executive officer of the "Cyane" to convoy the first colony of negroes from this country to Africa. In an interview with the Portuguese governor of Teneriffe, who despised republics, Lieutenant Perry refused an honorary salute unless returned gun for gun. In 1821, in command of the "Shark," he selected the site of the future Monrovia. All his life he was a diligent student of books and a keen observer of men and things, and he so mastered the question of ship hygiene that the regulations for use on the African station drawn up by him were in force for many years. He was one of the first naval officers to see clearly into the underlying causes of scurvy and to experiment successfully upon its prevention. Under Commander David Porter in the West Indies in 1822 he fought and ferreted out pirates, making also a voyage to Africa and another in 1823 to Mexico, where he began and later mastered the Spanish language. As executive officer of the line-of-battle-ship "North Carolina," then the finest war-vessel and carrying the heaviest floating armament in the world, he went to the Mediterranean, protecting American commerce from Greek pirates. At home he studied the question of recruiting, and founded the first United States naval-apprenticeship system. In command of the sloop "Concord" in 1829 he took John Randolph as envoy to the czar in the first American man-of-war to enter Russian waters. At a private audience that was granted Perry by Nicholas, he was offered high rank in the Russian navy, but declined. He entertained and was entertained by Nehemet All, conqueror of Khartoum and founder of the khedival dynasty of Egypt. From the swords presented to Perry the " Mameluke grip " was copied for adoption into the United States navy. He commanded the forty-four-gun frigate "Brandywine" in the brilliant naval demonstration of Commander Patterson in the harbor of Naples when the reluctant Ferdinand II. and Count Cassaro paid the spoliation claims that were urged by President Jackson on the arrival in the bay of the sixth United States war-vessel. As master-commandant, 7 January, 1833, he began ten years of shore duty at the Brooklyn navy-yard. This decade of study and application, most fruitful in results in naval science and of influence upon our marine, caused him in after-years to be spoken of as "a chief educator of the United States navy." To summarize results, he organized the Brooklyn naval lyceum, still active with museum, library, trophy-room, and correspondence, assisted to found and liberally contributed to the "Naval Magazine," studied and tabulated the action of the tides at Gardiner's island for the United States and British admiralty charts, declined the command of the Antarctic exploring expedition, though furnished, mainly by himself, the dietetic directions for the cruise, organized the first steam service, and from 1838 till 1840 commanded the first steam war-vessel of our navy, the "Fulton II.," making the engineers on a par with the other officers, the staff equal with the line, and, when the " Fulton" struck and badly damaged the brig "Montevideo." he noted the principle of sinking an enemy by collision, studied the problem practically and mathematically, and urged the adoption of the ram on war-steamers. He studied the problems of ordnance and armor, resistance and penetration, and was one of the committee that reported on the Stevens iron-clad battery. In charge of the school of gun-practice at Sandy Hook, he demonstrated the safety in use and the power of horizontal shellfire from navy cannon and the effect of pivot-gun firing on the decks of ships, deducing ideas that are valuable in ship-construction. He organized and directed the school of apprentices for sail and steam service of the navy, went to Europe in one of the first steamships regularly crossing the Atlantic to study light-house illumination, and secured the passage of laws that adopted the Fresnel system of lenses, the first light being placed at Sandy Hook. With William C. Redfield he was influential in effecting revolutions in naval architecture. The steamers "Missouri" and " Mississippi," then without peers in the world, were built in their chief features according to ideas that he strenuously insisted upon, and were conspicuously a success, while later ones, built on plans that he had condemned, were failures. He was made a captain on 15 March, 1837, and in command of the yard, and on 12 June, 1841, he hoisted the commodore's broad pennant. He commanded the eighty-gun squadron in Africa in 1843-'5, enforcing the Webster-Ashburton treaty, carrying out a powder-and-ball policy at Berribee against the savages, and securing a decent burial-ground for Americansailors. In the Mexican war he had oversight of the steam navy, and at the siege of Vera Cruz, in command of the Gulf fleet, when Scott's light artillery was unable to breach the walls, he landed six of the heaviest ship's guns, and in "the naval battery" sent picked crews to batter down the wall at only 800 yards' distance. In two . days the sailors fired 1,300 rounds, reducing the wall to rubbish and making a breach fifty feet wide, enabling Scott's army to dictate terms and proceed into the interior. He formed the first United States naval brigade of sailors trained as infantry, captured Tuspan, Tabasco, and Laguna, and blockaded the coast, occupying every important landing-place until the end of the war. In the fishery disputes with Canada he visited the waters of Newfoundland and assisted to bring about the reciprocity treaty of 1854. He organized and commanded the expedition to Japan, delivering the president's letter on 14 July, 1853, and on 31 March, 1854, signing a treaty of peace, amity, and protection to American sailors. On his return he wrote the report of the expedition, to which were added papers on special subjects by other writers and a preface and notes by Reverend Francis L. Hawks, D.D. The whole work is entitled "Report of Commander Perry's Expedition to Japan " (3 vols., Washington, 1856). A bronze statue in Touro park, Newport, Rhode Island, a marble bust by Erastus D. Palmer, of Albany, oil-portraits at Annapolis and Brooklyn, and a gold medal presented by the merchants of Boston, commemorate his services. See "Life of Commodore Matthew Calbraith Perry, a Typical American Naval Officer," by William Elliot Griffis (Boston, 1887).--Matthew Calbraith's son, Natthew Calbraith, naval officer, born about 1821 ; died in New York city, 16 November, 1873, was appointed a midshipman in the United States navy, 1 June, 1835, and ordered to the frigate " Potomac." he was acting master of the brig " Somers" during its first cruise and the famous mutiny (see MACKENZIE, ALEXANDER S.), was on the frigate "Cumberland" during the Mexican war, and by permission of his father joined the army on the staff of Gem Robert Patterson. He was made a lieutenant, 3 April, 1848, and served for several years on the coast survey. After various services he was placed on the retired list, receiving his commission as captain, 4 April, 1867. His sea-service covered a period of over fifteen years. -Christopher Raymond's grandson, James Alexander, soldier, born in New London, Connecticut, 11 December, 1828, is the son of Nathanael Hazard. He was graduated at the United States military academy in 1851, assigned to the 2d artillery, and served against the Seminole Indians in 1852. He was assistant professor of mathematics at West Point in 1852-'7, in frontier service in the northwest during hostilities with the Sioux and Chippewa Indians, and became captain in the quartermaster's department. He served in the civil war as chief quartermaster of the Department of Florida, and participated in the relief and defence of Fort Pickens. On 20 April, 1862, he became lieutenant-colonel of volunteers, and in 1864 he was made chief of a bureau in the quartermaster's department with the rank of colonel. He was brevetted major, lieutenant-colonel, and colonel, on 13 March, 1865, and also brigadier-general, United States army, for faithful and meritorious services in that department. He was commissioned major on 29 July, 1866, and lieutenant-colonel on 3 March, 1875. Since 1869 he has served as chief quartermaster of various departments, and he is now (1888) assistant quartermaster-general of the division of the Pacific.--Oliver Hazard's grandson, Thomas Sergeant, author, born in Newport, Rhode Island, 23 January, 1845. His mother is great-granddaughter of Benjamin Franklin. He was graduated at Harvard in 1866, studied at the Sorbonne and College of France, and at the University of Berlin. He was tutor in German at Harvard from 1868 till 1872, and instructor in English there from 1877 till 1881. Mr. Perry was editor of the "North American Review" from 1872 till 1874, and is the author of " Life and Letters of Francis Lieber" (Boston, 1882) ; "English Literature in the Eighteenth Century" (New York, 1883); "From Opitz to Lessing" (Boston, 1885) ; " The Evolution of the Snob" (1887); and "History of Greek Literature" (New York, 1888).

At a Court held for Woodford County at the Courthouse thereof on Monday the 5th day of August, 1799, this last will and testament of Toliver Craig, deceased, was presented in Court and proved by the oathes of John Cooke, Anthony Lindsey, and Davie Baldwin three subscribing witnesses thereto and was ordered to be recorded.
Teste T. Turpin, Clk.

Confirmed by three of his grandsons to have been the illegitimate son of a Taliaferro and a woman named Craig -- one saying Jane Craig, early records show Taliver Craig "of Corbin," in Virginia. He sired a large family, several of them becoming distinguished Baptists preachers. They all moved to Kentucky, including the elderly Taliaferro Craig and his wife, who seemed to have lived close to their son Capt. John Craig. Taliferro was probably living on Clear Creek in Woodford County when he died. His will was recorded in Woodford County, Kentucky.

From Bill Davis's Data on Carroll & Gallatin County, KY families[gwt1.ged]

In his will, dated 15 Dec 1790, Toliver mentions "my nine childr en: John, Toliver, Lewis, Joseph, Elijah, Benjamin and Jeremiah Craig, Jossie Faulkner and Elizabeth Cave". In 1782 Tolliver was a defender of Bryant's Station. His wife was the oldest of the 20 women who carried water from the spring to the beseiged fort. The Indians were in ambush and the courage of the women made the defence possible. The Lexington Chapte r (DAR) has memorialized this historic event. Listed in the 1790 census Fayette County and Woodford County, Kentucky. Notes for Toliver Craig: The descendants are split as to Tollivers' parentage. Old family lore says that Tolliver was the so n of Jane Craig and John Craig and that Joh n Craig died shortly before the trip to America. Recent events seem to point to t he fact that Jane was impregnated by Captain Taliaferro on the trip to America. Tollivers' grandson believed this to be the case. *** A legend exists that a ship sailing to America fro m an Irish port had on board a sailor named Toliver Craig who was washed overboard and lost at sea. The following day a baby was found on the ship, but no one claimed to be his parents. After a few days the crew decided to name him after their comrade who had been lost at sea. *** Father of the famous Virginia Traveling Church preachers, Joseph, Elijah and Lewis Craig. They were in Virginia about 1781, then moved to Kentucky. They settled in the Elkhorn area, previously Bourbon County, now George town, Scott County, Kentucky. *** Toliver and Mary probably married in King William County (records are burned). Mary seems to have inherited land from her father on Terry's Run in Spotsyl vania, 200 acres of which they sold to her brother in 1747. Tal iaferro Craig had a land grant as well: It is dated 26 Mar 1739 , for 400 acres on north side of Robinson Run, on a large branch of the Mattapony River, adj. to Col. John Robinson and Mr. John Anderson (Patent Book 18, p. 283). They probably lived here . He seems to have been an illiterate farmer, and his sons illiteracy caused some problems when they began preaching. His many land transactions and gifts of land to his family suggest that he was both very shrewd and generous. They lived in Spotsylva nia (now Orange) County, Virginia. He and his sons were converted to the (Separatist) Baptist faith in 1765/6 by David Thomas and Samuel Harris, though Thomas discouraged "such weak , illiterate persons" (Lewis, Elijah) attempting to teach." He traveled to Kentucky with sons John and Jeremiah in 1778. He sold William Wiatt 50 (one source says 500) acres in Berkeley Parish for 20,000 currency 19 Jul 1781. Then he moved with the "traveling church" to Fayette County, near Lexington in the Virginia frontier, later Kentucky, patenting 41,483 acres in Woodford County on the Kentucky River in 1794. He and his family were present at Bryan Station when they were attacked by the British and Indians. Both are said to be buried near Georgetown at the Great C rossing Church (now under a parking lot).[rodkinnison.ged]

From Lewis Sanders genealogy: "Two brothers named Taliaferro, supposed to be italians, came to Virginia in the beginning of the 18th Century. One of the brothers was a seafaring man, engaged in the trade from Virginia to Scotland, this brother brought over on one of his trips from Scotland, a young woman, named Craig.--this young woman had a son by Capt. Toliver, which she named Toliver Craig. This is the head and orgin of the numerous Craig family, now spread throughout Kentucky and some adjoining states."

With this in mind, John Craig may not be his true father.

They probably married in King William County (records are burned). Mary seems to have inherit ed land from her father on Terry's Run in Spotsylvania, 200 acres of which they sold to her b rother in 1747. Taliaferro Craig had a land grant as well: It is dated 26 March 1739, for 40 0 acres on the North side of Robinson Run, on a large branch of the Mattapony River, adj. t o Col. John Robinson and Mr. John Anderson (Patent Book 18, p. 283). They probably lived here .

He seems to have been an illiterate farmer, and his sons' illiteracy caused some problems whe n they began preaching. His many land transactions and gifts of land to his family suggest th at he was both very shrewd and generous. They lived in Spotsylvania (now Orange) Co., VA. H e and his sons were converted to the (Separatist) Baptist faith in 1765/6 by David Thomas an d Samuel Harris, though Thomas discouraged "such weak, illiterate persons' [Lewis, Elijah] at tempting to teach."(Spencer, A History of Kentucky Baptists). He traveled to Kentucky with so ns John and Jeremiah in 1778. [See Daniel Boon's account of this time in Kentucky to see wha t it must have been like.] He sold Wm. Wiatt 50 [one source says 500] acres in Berkeley Paris h for 20,000 currency 7/19/1781. Then he moved with the "traveling church" to Fayette Co. nea r Lexington in the Virginia frontier, later KY, patenting 41483 acres in Woodford Co. on th e Kentucky River in 1794. [See Kincaid's account in The Wilderness Road.] He and his family w ere present at Bryan Station when they were attacked by the British and Indians.(more on Brya n Station) Both are said to be buried near Georgetown KY at the Great Crossings Church (no w under a parking lot) at Stamping Ground; Polly's tomb was marked "The Mother of Many Faithf ul."

When the morning of August 16th dawned, the settlers apparently sensed the presence of the Indians for some reason. At first alarm two men, Thomas Bell and Nicholas Tomlinson slipped away to get help from Lexington. The Indians still did not make their presence known, not wanting the pioneers to know their strenghht (sic) yet and thus make a surprise attack.

about Thos Durham
Name: Thos Durham
State: VA
County: Richmond County
Township: Farnham Parish
Year: 1751
Record Type: Rent Role
Database: VA Early Census Index

From the Texas group Tradition is that Thomas came to America in 1721 with a ship load of young emigrants, many being young married people. James Allen Durham told his grandson George William Durham that Thomas got on that boat with a large number of other young men and women, thinking that it was a sight-seeing trip until they were too far from shore to swim back and were told that they were on their way to America. On the ship he met, courted and later married a Scotch lass named Margaret Lindsey, nicknamed "Peggy". Family tradition says that she lost her bonnet overboard and that Thomas told her he would marry her and buy her a new bonnet. The story continues that his brother, Matthew Durham, either on the ship or a little earlier, had married Suzanna Lindsey. The records of the Texas DAR show that Matthew Durham Sr, was a soldier in the Revolutionary War was born in Orange County, North Carolina and Married Susanna Lindsey sometime prior to 21 November 1752. She was born in North Carolina on July 20, 1731 and died after February 1796 probably in North Carolina. They had nine children Thomas, William Lindsey, John, Matthew, Ambrose, Lysias, Mary, Jane and Mark. Their son Matthew also a soldier in the Revolutionary war married Fannie Spenser and they had fourteen Children. There is some indication is that Thomas may have been born in Lunemburg Co in 1742 certainly the dates are more likely. The Thomas born in 1696 may have been the father of This Thomas. Thomas and Peggy Lindsey Durham had nine sons, perhaps some daughters, and all of the sons fought in the Revolutionary War. No Tory was known among them. Two died at Valley Forge in 1776 from the hardships of winter. The Oldest son was named Thomas who became a Primative Baptist preacher. The names of the six others were William, James, Joel, Nathanel, John and Joab. All these save the last two made their homes in Tennessee. John first lived in Virginia then moved to North Carolina. Joab moved from Virginia to North Carolina and later settled in Pulaski County, Georgia. In Lunenberg County, Virginia, in 1749 a Thomas Durham was listed as having 7 tythes of land on Hounds Creek and the Meherrin River.

Thomas married Margaret "Peggy" Lindsey about 1721 in Virginia. Margaret was born in 1700 in Scotland, was christened on 17 May 1702 in Clackmannan, Clackmannan, Scotland, and died after 1779 in Virginia.

A distant cousin related the information to me that Wm. was born in Ossian Glenn. That information he got from a letter written by Dr. Francis Kron who bought William's homestead in North Carolina. The house still stands and is a museum dedicated to Dr. Kron. It is in the Morrow Mountain State Park. There is no definitive location called Ossian Glenn/Glen Ossian. Ossian was a mythological man. There is however Loch Ossian and William may have been from some part of that area. Larry McGregor of the McGregor Family Association is attempting to reconstruct William's history, but as all of you know, there are many William McGregors in the records. I too, have thousands of people in my data base in an attempt to pin-point my William McGregor, who was the father of twin sons, Ezekiel and Willis McGregor, who in turn married twin sisters, Sarah and Susan Ware.

http://members.cox.net/trm/AllenRobertJr.htm

Robert Allen Jr. the son of Robert Allen Sr. of New Kent Co. Virginia, was born about 1705 in New Kent Co. This Robert Allen was in St. Paul's Vestry book until 1743. Then appears in the newly formed County of Lunenburg Co., formed in 1745. By 1757 he was in Amelia Co. VA., where he was a grantor. By 1761 Robert and his wife Elizabeth were residents of Granville Co. North Carolina.

Robert was married at least twice. The name of Elizabeth shows up on land deeds. No maiden name is proven, speculation has it as WADE, STOKES or even YOUNG. It appears the name is Young, as the first son born was Young Allen, and this name continues down many generations.

John Young and his family lived in St. Peter's Parish in 1704, then Lemuel Young lived near the Allen's in Lundenburg Co. Not only does the name of Young descend down in the Allen family, the great grandson of Robert Allen and grandson of Drury Allen was named Young Lemuel Allen. This gives strong indication Elizabeth was a Young, and Young Lemuel Allen named for Lemuel Young.

Elizabeth relinquished her dower rights in two deeds recorded in Granville Co. February 1762. She died shortly after signing these two deeds. One deed states Robert Allen Sr. and his wife Elizabeth Allen to Robert Allen Jr. for love and affection, 225 acres on the West side of Billy's creek.

Robert had remarried to Hannah Edwards, daughter of John Edwards by 1765 when Mr. Edward's will was written. Mr. Edwards named two daughters Hannah and Elizabeth as being married to Allen's.

Robert moved from Granville/Franklin Co. to Caswell Co. NC., in 1781. He died in 1782 and left his will in Caswell Co. It was proved in Court 10 March, 1784.

It appears from various deeds that Robert Allen was indeed in control of his family, including that of his son-in-law, the Hudson brothers. When Robert Allen moved from Virginia to North Carolina, William and John Hudson moved along with Robert and his family. In return for their loyalty and affection; Robert gave each land in Granville/Bute Counties. It appears this bond between the Hudson Brothers and Robert Allen was much more than a father in law and son in law relationship.

Robert Allen's daughter Susanna married William Hudson, son of Isaac born 1710
Robert Allen's grandson James, son of Josiah married Rebecca Hudson, grand daughter of William and Susanna Allen Hudson.

These Hudson descendants descends from Robert Allen two different ways. Through Susanna and Josiah, both children of Robert.

1. Young Allen, born 1730 in Hanover Co, VA; died 1774 in Wake Co, NC. He married Nancy Coleman about 1751.
died prior to 1782 in NC.
2. Josiah Allen, born about 1733 VA.;died 1781 SC.
3. Drury Allen, born 01 December, 1749 Orange Co. NC., died 20 January, 1826 Pike Co. GA. He married Elizabeth Yarbrough.
4. Robert Allen Jr., born 1736; died August 1801 GA.
5. Sarah Allen married Joel Moody
6. Elizabeth Allen married a John Hudson, 1730-1814
7. Susanna Allen married William Hudson
8. Agnes Allen married a (Henry?) Williams, the younger

____________________________________________________________________________________________

Per "Allens of the Southern States", Robert Allen, Jr., was given a deed from his father for 125 acres in 1735. The land processioning records suggest that the aging Robert Allen, Sr., may have divided his Hanover County land among his four sons, Robert, Jr., William, Drury, and Richard. The twin sons, Joseph and Benjamin, were not mentioned in the land processioning records, and it appears they may have accompanied their father when he moved to Goochland County.

Robert (Jr.) , William, Drury, and Richard Allen were all named in the processioning records of St. Paul's Parish in 1743. Robert Allen (Jr.) had land in two precincts, numbers 4 and 18.

Precinct No. 4. Ordered into one precinct for processioning the lands of George Norvel, John Bowles, Richard Winn, John Johnson, John Sutton, Stephen Sunter, Widow Wake, Widow Casey, Francis Clark, John Guilcrest, George Davis, Thomas Johnson, Charles Talley, William Nichols, Robert Allen, Robert Wade, Philip Reynolds, John Glen, Anthony Winston's orphans, and that Richard Winn and Benjamin Bowles see the said processioning performed, whomade the following report.

Precinct No. 18. Ordered into one precinct for processioning the lands of Robert Allen, Thomas Bowles, William Henderson, John Hogg, William Hogg, Smuel Meredity, John Kersey, George Bell, David Bell, Robert Webb, John Cobbs, Capt. Isaac Winston and Mr. Samuel Meredith see the said processioning performed who made the following report: In obe3dience to the within order we the subscribers have seen the within mentioned lands peacably and quietly processioned.

Robert and Drury Allen were not in the records of St. Paul's Vestry Book after 1743. The loss of most of the deed records for Hanover County makes it impossible to determine when and to whom the two brothers sold their lands in that county. Records for Robert and Drury were found in the newly formed Lunenburg County, Virginia, in 1746, along with records of many other families from Hanover County, including the names of Tandy and Sylvanus Walker.

Drury Allen and his brother, Robert Allen, lived in the Reedy Church area, a part of Lunenburg County. They also lived near Lydall Bacon, who was the collector of tithes for that district.

From the Vestry Book of Cumberland Parish:

1746 to 1749, Robert Allen appointed Reader

1749 Robert Allen was appointed clerk of Little Roanoke

1751 Robert Allen was clerk and sexton at Otter River Church

From these records it is evident there were two or more Robert Allens in Cumberland Parish and a check of the tithes for Lunenburg County confirmed there two Robert Allens listed. In addition to the Robert Allen who lived in Lydall Bacon's district, there wasw another Robert Allen listed in John Phelps district in the western part of the county, which was later known as Bedford County, Virginia.

Robert Allen was listed on the titheable list in Lyddall Bacon's District in 1747, 1749, 1750, 1751, and 1752.

Robert and Drury Allen lived in Lydall Bacon's District of Lunenburg County for several years. Robert had a land grant in that county in 1755, but on January 20, 1757, he was called "Robert Allen of Amelia County, Virginia." Robert bought and sold several tracts of land in Amelia County, Virginia; then he moved to Granville County, North Carolina, in 1762.

The land records for Lunenburg County, Virginia, are not complete. No land grants could be found for Robert Allen in the Land Office File at the Virginia State Library, but some of his grantor deeds stated the land he was selling was part of a prior grant. Only one grantee deed was found for Robert Allen in Lunenburg County, but there are grantor deeds for seven tracts of land in that county, all sold by "Robert Allen of Notoway Parish, Amelia County, Virginia". Robert Allen was in Amelia County by 1757 but only one Grantee deed was found for him and that was in October 1759. He sold the latter tract of land in Amelia County in January of 1761, and one month later, Robert and his wife, Elizabeth Allen, had become residents of Granville County, North Carolina.

5 April 1750. Robert Allen from Drury Allen deed for 250 acres, part of a land grant to Drury Allen dated Williamsburg, 5 June 1747, on Cowthers Creek and Gushing Creek, being the easternmost part of the patent aforesaid and includes the plantation where the said Robert Allen now dwells.

THE HALEYS WERE MOST CERTAINLY OF ENGLISH ORIGIN

The surname Haley, Hailey, Halley, Hayley, etc. is said to have been derived from Hailey, a chapelry in Oxfordshire. Many Haleys are mentioned in England and Scotland during the 16th and 17th centuries

The first permanent English settlement in the New World was established at Jamestown in 1607 by the London Company. It was organized as a stock company whose purpose was to establish a settlement for the realization of a profit.
One of the stockholders in England was a John Haley who disposed of some of his stock in 1618 either because it had paid no dividends, or for some other reason. He had been interested in the venture to the extent of placing his money in the enterprise and was thus instrumental in the planting of the first English settlement in the New World.

This John Haley may have been the John Haley who was listed as a citizen and haberdasher of Ludgate, London in 1598. There is no record to show that he may have emigrated to the Colony.

During the first century after settlement, many records were destroyed, making it difficult to trace families; however some records did survive Indian raids, fires, and wars. Among those still existing is a grant to Walter Heley, an "Ancient Planter" who was granted 50A of land in Elizabeth Cittie County in the "Fourth Year of the Reign of Charles the First" on 20 Sept 1628. The appellation, "Ancient Planter" signified one who had been in Virginia by 1616 and who had paid for his own passage. We do not know if he is the ancestor of our line.

Many other Haleys arrived during this early period, including a John Haley, born 1600 and arrived in Nov 1621, and his brother, Robert, who is believed to have had sons, Robert, Richard, James, and John.

A James Haley with **Ambrose Lloyd patented land in 1673 in Warwick County. His wife may have been a sister or daughter of Ambrose Lloyd. It is believed that he had at least three sons, John, Joseph, and EDWARD.

By the middle 1600's settlers were leaving the peninsula between the James and York Rivers and crossing the York to the peninsula between the York and Rappahanock Rivers. It is there in 1704 that we find John, Joseph, and EDWARD Haley

That this EDWARD is our ancestor, we cannot be certain, but an EDWARD Haley who lived in this area can be identified and proven to be the ancestor from whom we are descended. That descent follows:

EDWARD HALEY (ca 1675-1752 married Catherine ________? Their son JOHN HALEY (ca 1700-1780 married Mary (Anderson??)
Their son AMBROSE HALEY (ca 1758-1846 married Mary Woodward. Their son WYATT WILLIAM HALEY (8 Feb 1788-8Oct 1855) married Nancy Hightower. Their daughter MARY MORRIS HALEY(4 Dec 1818- 20 June 1899) married Samuel Davidson. Their son THOMAS WILLIAM DAVIDSON (10 Dec 1842-29 Aug 1924) married Lucinda Isabella Abercrombie.
Their son SAMUEL WALTER DAVIDSON (4 Dec 1877-17 Aug 1928) married Mary Elizabeth Reid.
Their son SAMUEL THEODORE DAVIDSON (17 Oct 1919- ) is this compiler.

**One may surmise that the appearance of the name, Ambrose, in the Haley family during the ensuing three centuries reveals a family trait for carrying down such names. (Wyatt is another which has endured into present generations)
One of Edward's sons was named Ambrose who named one of his sons, Ambrose, Jr. Ambrose, Sr.'s son, Lewis named a son Ambrose. Edward's son, Benjamin named a son Ambrose. Edward's son, John (our line) named a son Ambrose who in turn named one of his sons, Ambrose. Ambrose, Sr.'s son, Wyatt William, named one of his sons Wyatt Ambrose. In fact, there came to be so many Ambrose Haleys in Halifax, Charlotte, and Pittsylvania Counties of Virginia that it is impossible to accurately determine who is which. Even Edward's daughter, Elizabeth who married Wm. Christopher named one of their sons, Ambrose Christopher. The name Wyatt appears in the line when John Haley's (our line) son, Humphrey Haley married Anne Wyatt and named one of their sons Wyatt. Humphrey's brother, Ambrose (our line) named a son, Wyatt (our line). Not only did our Wyatt W. name a son Wyatt Ambrose but this Wyatt A. had a son, Thomas who named a son Wyatt A who died in 1940. Wyatt W.'s daughter, Mary M. married Samuel Davidson and named a son John Wyatt Davidson.
John Wyatt's son, Rush T. named a son, Wyatt B. who died in 1991 Samuel and Mary Haley Davidson's Grandson, James Emmett Davidson named his older son Emmett Hailey (note sp.) who in turn named a son, James Hailey. There were, of course, many of the usual Johns, James' Williams, etc. as well as some of the not-so-common such as Woodson, Archibald, Pleasant, Berryman, and Lovelace. And don't forget, Theophilous.

- "Early Settlers of Washington Co.," part of Historical Sketches of the Campbell, Pilcher and Kindred Families by Mgt Pilcher (Nashville: Marshall and Bruce Co., 1911)."Hunters visited the county as early as 1745, but no families came and settled permanently until about 1767 or 1768. In two years from that time many emigrated, so that in 1770 the county was dotted all over with improvements. The first great migration was from Augusta County, but the spirit was immediately caught, and large numbers of families, and, indeed, whole connections, came from Frederick County and the Valley - from the Augusta line to the Potomac - from the upper counties of Maryland and from Pennsylvania. Botetourt and the country on each side of it sent members. (...) ... the Davises, four brothers - Nathaniel, John, James and Samuel Davis.

PARENTAGE POSSIBILITY THREE: SON OF JAMES (James might have been a son of Samuel.)
http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~mygermanfamilies/Davis.html
James Davis died in 1765 in Rowan County, North Carolina. His will was written 8 May 1765 and probated October 1765. He mentions his carpenter tools. Wife, Elinor, to have 441 acre homeplace which at her death will be equally divided between sons James & John Davis. Son Samuel, a minor, to have land bought from Robert Elrod. Son Evan is lame. Daughter Mary Enoch and her children. Daughter Ann Turner and her children. Daughters Elinor Douthit and Ruth Davis. Exrs. wife Elinor, sons James and John.

NB: re Eleanor Douthit. In Johanna Miller Lewis' Artisans of the North Carolina Backcountry, p. 147 there is a James Davis carpenter in Rowan 1759=1765, and p. 148 John DOUTHIT Sr. as a weaver, 1759-1784.

http://boards.ancestry.ca/localities.northam.usa.states.northcarolina.counties.rowan/4736.4746/mb.ashx Message of T. Barclay Pope, 2000:
Samuel Barkley, eldest son of Robert Barkley married to Leah of Rowan Co NC married Mary Davis. Robert's land was in or near the Jersey settlement. This is an excerpt from his will; "I give and bequeath to my eldest son Samuel all my rite of that land lying on the north side of Richard's creek called Weaver Davis place." This will was probated in 1788.
(http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~barclay/Documents.htm Actual will states: 'I give and bequaeth [sic] to my eldest son Samuel all my rite [sic] of that land lying on the north side of Richard's creek called Weaver Davis place and ten pounds in money if he takes up my bond, if he does not, the land is to be sold & the money to be divided among the rest of my children."
This was in response to a message from Christiana Darlington, "William RICHARDSON ... was born c. 1748, supposedly in Rowan Co NC area. His father died and his mother remarried a man with the surname of DAVIS and he had children."
Her reply to Pope's message was, "the latest theory is that William RICHARDSON's mother was a DAVIS who was a sister to Evan, David, Thomas, Leonard and Mary. This family was around in the 1760's."

Deed book 23, page 14, 1-29-1814, states that Joseph Haden of Rowan County let John Darr of Rowan have 183 acres on Richard's Creek adjoining Benjamin Todd, Thomas Adams, Caleb Campbell and George Fezor, being part of a track originally owned by the deceased Robert Barclay, which Walter and Robert Barclay let Thomas Durham have 5-18-1789. Vol.17, Deed Book, page 327, dated 10-2-1797, shows that Robert and Walter Barclay sold by deed made in Kentucky two tracts of land in Rowan County.

1753 - purchased land in Rowan Co NC, north of the Yadkin River east of Salisbury.

(Historical context:)
1759 - Collections of the Massachusetts Historical Society by the Massachusetts Historical Society, John Davis Batchelder Collection (Library of Congress), page 509 - Indian raids in May 1759 in Rowan Co NC. "And in the Yadkin Settlement ... a part of Indians came into the settlements about the Waxsaws, as it is called, and committed several murders. The militia were raised: and, in searching the houses where the Indians had been, they found 18 of our people killed; and eight more were missing, supposed to be carried off."

http://www.learnnc.org/lp/editions/nchist-colonial/2046
Pennsylvania Gazette, June 28, 1759:
According to Letters received yesterday from Gentlemen of Repute in Rowan County, in North Carolina… many horrid Murders have lately been committed by Indians, on the Yadkin and Catawba Rivers. The Number of People killed, in some Letters, are said to be 13 or 14, in others 17 or 18; and the Murderers are supposed to be Cherokees, tho' they may as well be Shawanese, or of those Indians who were prevailed on to quit the Ohio with the French Garrison of Fort Duquesne. Among the Killed are named John Snap, Thomas Ellis, Thomas Adams, Daniel Holsey, and Joseph Rentford, in the upper Branch of the Yadkin; John Hannah, and his Family supposed to be 7 in Number) near Fort Dobbs and Conrad Mull, on the Catawba River.
The Catawba Nation was greatly exasperated on this Occasion, as soon as they heard of the Murders, sent out 30 of their best Warriors, under Capt. Matthew Tool, in Pursuit of the Enemy. In the mean time all the Frontier Inhabitants are very much alarmed, many of them have desisted Planting, and others are fortifying themselves. -However alarming these Accounts may be, we are not without Hopes, that if the Murderers are even Cherokees, the Little Carpenter [Attakullakulla, a Cherokee leader who had aided the British] will, by keeping his Promise, restrain, if not effectually put a Stop to, such Violences for the future.

"we are under a Necessity, in this our first Opportunity of waiting upon your Excellency to Represent the case of Murder committed by Persons unknown on Seventeen of His Majestys Subjects within our Inquest, where all our Inquiry is baffled, and about Ten persons more missing supposed to be carried off by our Public Enemies or Indians under their Influence The Late unjust Incroachments made by our aspiring neighbours and Inforced by method of a piece with those barbarous Cruelties give us the strongest reason to suspect they have promoted this Inhuman carnage-We doubt not Your Excellency will take all the proper measures to prevent such Massacre for the future."

"twenty-two whites fell in swift succession before the secret onslaughts of the savages "
"So gravely alarmed were the Rowan settlers, compelled by the Indians to desert their planting and crops, that Colonel Harris was despatched post-haste for aid"
"During the remainder of the year, the borders were kept clear by bold and tireless rangers--under the leadership of expert Indian fighters of the stamp of Griffith Rutherford and Morgan Bryan."
