Family history notes

EUBANKS FAMILY John Eubanks, Sr. along
with several of his sons removed from Caroline County, Maryland and came to
Kentucky sometime during 1797-98. He bought 500 acres of
land in Kentucky, but the title being what is called a “work title” in
Kentucky was illegal, thus he lost this property. In
November 1799 of that year his sons Richard, George, and John
Eubanks bought land in Fleming
County from a John Edwards. John
bought 200 acres on Fleming Creek
bounded on one side by George's 100 acres.
John, Richard, and
George Eubanks are on the 1800 Tax List of Fleming
County. The family sold land back and
forth in 1802. Nearly each one was
involved in a title dispute within a few years. In 1802 Richard Eubanks
of Fleming County married Alice Peachee
of nearby Mason County. To this union
three known children were born in Fleming County between 1803 and 1809, they
being Anna,
Absalom, and Sarah "Sally"
Eubanks. In
1804 George Eubanks lost the title to part of his
land in Fleming County where the tax records show that in 1804 he had only 34
acres of his original property remaining.
As a result, George and His father John Eubanks, Sr.
left Fleming County then moved to Mifflin Township, Ross County, Ohio (now Perry Township
in Pike County). Richard Eubanks died here around 1810 after
which Alice and her children continued to reside in Fleming County. Richard
Eubanks is not listed in the 1810 census for Fleming County, Kentucky
although several of his kinsmen are listed at that location probably with the
family of her brother-in-law Thomas Eubanks.** After the death of her husband Richard in 1813 Alice married her late
husband’s nephew Henry
Eubanks, Sr. on 25 December
1814. Between 1816 and 1827 Alice had
another six children with Henry. By
1820 Alice and Henry had had left Fleming County and gone to Mifflin
Township in Pike County, Ohio.
It appears that John Sr.’s sons moved on to Ohio the last one being Thomas
Eubanks who stayed in Fleming county until he removed
to Ohio in 1828. * Richard’s brother Thomas
is listed as having 15 persons living within his household. Therefore it is possible that if Richard
passed away prior to the census his family was being provided for by Thomas Hughbanks. PEACHEE FAMILY Benjamin and Anna (Abbott) Peachee, parents of
the aforementioned Alice Peachee, migrated from Salem County,
New Jersey to Mason
County, Kentucky about 1794. Benjamin Peachee and
his family are found in 1810 census of Mason County, Kentucky. As such they probably moved into Fleming
County around 1811 as his daughter Elizabeth Peachee married James
E. Rigdon at Fleming County in August 1812. His son Benjamin
Peachee, II married Rebecca Rigdon there in March 1819. To this union
their eldest two children were born here in 1820 and 1821. According to the 1820 U.S. Census Benjamin
and Anna were living near the Fleming county community of Elizaville.
Benjamin’s war pension
records confirm that he lived here between 1820 and 1826. His wife Anna Abbott
probably died at Fleming County around 1826 after which Benjamin removed to Daviess County,
Indiana to be near his son James
Peachee. |
