JENKINS ORIGINS

By 1000 BC, the Iron Age proper had arrived in what is now Wales where
its people grouped themselves into large hill forts for protection;
practiced mixed, settled farming, but also worked extensive copper mines.
Many of these impressive hill forts remain in Wales, some of them, such
as Tre'r Cewri atop Yr Eifl Mountain in Gwynedd, were still occupied
during the Roman invasions in the first century AD. Advanced metalworking
seems to have been introduced as a result of contact with the Halstatt
culture of Austria, from an area near present-day Saltzburg. This
culture itself had benefited from contact with others in the Mediterranean
area, whose use of the symbols and patterns so characteristic of Celtic
design, is named La Tene, after a village on the shores of Lake
Neuchatel in Switzerland.

500-100 BC: THE CELTS ARRIVE

It was at this time that the Celtic languages arrived in Britain,
probably introduced by small groups of migrants who became culturally
dominant in their new homelands, and whose culture formed part of a great
unified Celtic "empire" encompassing many different peoples all over
Northern Europe. The Greeks called these people, with their organized
culture and developed social structure Keltoi, the Romans called them Celtai.
In spite of the fact that they were perhaps the most powerful people in
much of Europe in 300 BC, with lands stretching from Anatolia in the
East to Ireland in the West, the Celts were unable to prevent intertribal
warfare. Their total lack of political unity, despite their fierceness in battle,
ultimately led to their defeat and subjugation by the much better disciplined
armies of Rome. Even the Celtic languages on Continental Europe eventually
gave way to those stemming from Latin. But in Britain, at least for a few
hundred years after the Roman victories on mainland Europe, the Celts held
on to much of their customs and especially to their distinctive language which
has survived today as Welsh.

The language of most of Britain was derived from a branch of Celtic known
as Brythonic: it later gave rise to Welsh, Cornish and Breton (these
differ from the Celtic languages derived from Goidelic, namely Irish,
Scots Gaelic and Manx). Along with the new languages, new religions
entered Britain, particularly that of the Druids, the guardians of traditions
and learning. The Druids glorified the pursuits of war, feasting and
horsemanship. They controlled the calendar and the planting of crops,
and they presided over the religious festivals and rituals that honored local
deities. Thus they constituted the first target for the invading Roman legions.



43-383 AD: ROMAN BRITAIN

The first invasion of the British Isles (Britannia) by the Romans took place
in 55 BC under Julius Caesar, but it did not lead to any significant
occupation. He had some interesting, if biased comments concerning
the native inhabitants. "All the Britons," he wrote, "paint themselves
with woad, which gives their skin a bluish color and makes them look
very dreadful in battle" ("De Bello Gallico"). It was not until a hundred
years later, following an expedition ordered by the Emperor Claudius,
that a permanent settlement of the grain-rich eastern territories of
Britain began in earnest. From their bases in what is now Kent, the Roman
armies began a long, arduous and perilous series of battles with the
native Celtic tribes, first victorious, next vanquished. But as on the
Continent, superior military discipline and leadership, aided by a
carefully organized system of forts connected by straight roads, led to the
triumph of Roman arms.

It was not long before a great number of large, prosperous villas were
established all over Britain, but especially in the Southeast and
Southwest. The villas testified to the rapidity by which Britain became
Romanized, for they functioned as centers of a settled, peaceful and urban
life. They are mostly found in present-day England. Mountainous Wales
and Scotland were not as easily settled; they remained "the frontier" --
lands where military garrisons were strategically placed to guard the
Northern and Western extremities of the Empire. Smaller forts were
constructed to protect the Roman copper, tin, lead and gold mines that
most certainly utilized native labor.

In what is now Wales, the Romans were awestruck by their first sight of
the druids. The historian Tacitus described them as being "ranged in
order, with their hands uplifted, invoking the gods and pouring forth
horrible imprecations" ("Annales"). The fierce resistance of the tribes
in Wales meant that two out of the three Roman legions in Britain were
stationed on the Welsh borders. Two impressive Roman fortifications
remain to be seen: Isca Silurium (Caerleon) with its fine ampitheatre,
in Monmouthshire and Segontium, (Caernarfon), in Gwynedd.

Though the Celtic tongue survived as the medium of everyday speech,
Latin was being used mainly for administrative purposes. Many loan words
entered the native vocabulary, and these are still found in modern-day
Welsh. Today's visitors to the principality are surprised to find
hundreds of place names containing Pont (bridge), while ffenest (window),
pysgod (fish), milltir (mile), melys (sweet or honey), cyllell (knife),
ceffyl (horse), perygl (danger), eglwys (church), and many others attest
to Latin influence. Rome, of course, became Christianized with the


conversion of Constantine in 337, and thanks to the missionary work of
Martin of Tours in Gaul and the edict of 400 AD that made Christianity the
only religion of the Empire, the people of Britain quickly adopted the
new religion. The old Celtic gods had to slink off into the mountains
and hills to hide, reappearing fitfully and almost apologetically only
in the poetry and myths of later ages.

383: THE MACSEN'S LEGIONS WITHDRAWAL

Magnus Maximus, the commander of the Roman armies in Britain took much
of the British garrison with him to displace Gratian as Emperor. He appears
in Welsh writing as Macsen Wledig in "Breuddwyd Macsen" (The Dream
of Macsen), one of the two historical tales in "The Mabinogion". Macsen's
brother Cynan and his army may have been the first Britons to settle
in Armorica, later known as Brittany, where the Celtic language survives
somewhat shakily today. Some historians consider 383 as the year that
the concept of the Welsh nation began and see Macsen as the father of
the Welsh nation.

400-600: THE SAXON INVASIONS

When the city of Rome fell to the invading Goths under Alaric, Roman
Britain, which had experienced centuries of comparative peace and
prosperity, was left to its own defenses. One of the local Romano-British
leaders may have been a tribal chieftain named Arthur, who put up some kind
of organized resistance to the oncoming Saxon hordes. As early as 440,
an anonymous writer penned the following:

Britain, abandoned by the Romans, passed into the power of the Saxons.
One prominent British chieftain, Vortigern (Gwrtheyrn) is remembered as
being responsible for inviting the first Germanic mercenaries to help
defend Britain against the invading Picts. The arrival of Hengist and
Horsa and their Jutes mark the beginning of Germanic settlements in
Britain (ironically, the first modern Welsh language centre is located
in a remote valley named Nant Gwrtheyrn (the stream of Vortigern) in the
Llyn Peninsular, Gwynedd).

The Saxons are defeated at Mount Badon. One of King Arthur's twelve
battles. Supposed rule of King Arthur for 45 plus years. This is also
the period of Saints. Celtic saints set up sites throughout Wales
teaching Christianity. In the east of Britain, the Saxons remain pagan.

784: Offa of Mercia, a powerful Saxon king, builds Offa's Dyke, marking
Wales's eastern boundary. The Dyke is not a fortified one, but a
permanent boundary line.

878: The most notable Welsh figure before the arrival of the Normans is
slain. Rhodri Mawr was the first Welsh ruler to unite the Welsh tribes
and kingdoms under one rule. During his reign, the Vikings increase their raids.
927: Welsh kings formally submit to the English as over-king.

1039: The last of the Welsh high-kings, Gruffydd ap Llywelyn, assumes
the throne. His short, 20 plus years, rule brings unity to Wales.

1063: The English, under future king Earl Harold, drive their army
into Wales. His own men kill Gruffydd ap Llywelyn and relatives and
England's ascendancy is reaffirmed.

1066: At the Battle of Hastings King Harold is killed. The Norman
conquest of England is assured. Marcher Lords are established along
the Welsh borders.

1141: Henry the First dies and Wales experiences resurgence under the
two Llywelyns of Gwynedd. Wales moves toward unity as their territory
is reclaimed and the culture flourishes.

1215: The Magna Carta signed. Welsh lands taken unjustly are restored
and some Welsh laws return.

1267: Llywelyn II with the Treaty of Montgomery is recognized as Prince
of Wales, with overlordship of all other Welsh Princes and Barons.

1282: Llwyelyn II is killed in battle and Wales's resurgence comes to
an end. Wales falls beneath Edward the First's advances. Wales becomes
an English principality under the Statute of Rhuddlan. In the future,
the eldest son of the English king is designated Prince of Wales.
The building of castles in Wales is started by Edward I.

1301: At Caernarvon Castle Edward's son is invested as the Prince of Wales.

1349: The Plague, or Black Death, sweeps through Wales, leaving up to
40 percent of the population dead.

1400: Owain Glyndwr, with the whole of Wales behind him, leads a revolt
against England.

1410: Owain Glyndwr's short rebellion ends as he disappears. Henry IV
and his son suppress the rebellion. Defeat means second class
citizenship for the Welsh and humiliation.

1455: The War of Roses starts in England as the Yorks and Lancastrians
fight for the throne.

1485: Henry Tudor, of Welsh descent, wins the Battle of Bosworth and
becomes the first Welsh King of England. This marks the end of the War of
Roses and establishes the Welsh lineage to the English throne.

1536: Henry VIII enacts the first Act of Union which completes the
political and legal union of England and Wales. Wales falls under the
English shire system and the first dissolution of the monasteries begins.

1588: The Bible is published in Welsh. One of the most important events
to continue the language.

1629: King Charles I gave grants of land in America to Sir Robert Heath.
These grants covered all land between the 31st and 36th parallels from
the Atlantic to the Pacific. Heath organized Proprietors to take over and
govern this land but nothing was done at that time to prove up on this grant.

1633: King Charles II made a second grant to the Earl of Clarendon
(1604-1674) and other favorites of Charles II. Limits of the colony
extended from 29 degrees south to 36'30" north. He organized and began
selling shares to people with money and the Proprietors set
forth to establish a government in the Colonies.

1642: Civil War breaks out in England and is welcomed in Wales.

1660: Charles II is restored and Wales rejoices. The Bardic Order
starts its decay, suffering from a loss of patronage and the
influence of the new Humanism.

1663: The Proprietors received the territory by royal charter on 24
March 1663, and people began to migrate from Virginia, New England,
and Barbados to Carolina.

1670: The first permanent English settlement was at Albermarle Point.

1680: The first settlement at Charleston. Granville County, including
St Helena's Island, was created.

1682: The original three counties of Berkeley, Craven, and Colleton
were created. These Counties only served as reference points for
locating the land grants, since all Court records were kept in Charleston
until 1769. These included land grants, land and probate records.
This was the seat of the Proprietary Government.

1684: "Cedar Grove", for many years the residence and chief country
seat of one of the branches of the Izard family. This estate embraced
a number of tracts under a number of grants made at different times.
The original holder of the property was Francis Turgis, who came from
"Ringwood" in Hampshire, England, and came out to the Province
apparently a man of means. He seems to have arrived before 28 July 1684, for
on that day a warrant was issued to lay out to him 350 acres of land upon
the parcel of marsh fronting the lands laid out to Mr. Job Bishop and
Andrew Percival Esqr. (Printed Warrants, 1680-1692, p. 162.) On 7

CLARK ORIGINS

The name CLARK came from cleric, clerk, or scholar - one who can read
and write. Also from the Gaelic "Mac a' Chlerich/Cleireach"; son of the
cleric or, sometimes, clerk. During the Middle Ages, the common
pronunciation of -er was -ar, so the man who sold items was the marchant, and
the man who kept the books was the clark. At the time, the primary members
of the English literate class were the clergy, which in minor orders were
allow to marry and have families. The term clerk eventually (clark) came
to designate any literate man.

between 1711 and 1720 on Edisto Island, Colleton County.)

1681: April 10, Lord Shaftesbury and two others of the Lords
Porprietors, address a communication to the Governor and Council, containing
among other things, a commission to grant 3000 acres of land to "Mr. Paul

1682: February, Paul GRIMBALL, and English merchant, came to the
Province of South Carolina.

land already purchased by him from Samuel Boswood.[2]

of self and servants. He became a Proprietor's deputy in 1683[3] and
settled on Edisto Island,

1686: Paul GRIMBALL's house with that of Governor Morton, was sacked by
the Spaniards.[4]

1687: July 1687, He was a member of the committee to consider the
modification of the Fundamental Constitution .

1688: October, He was Secretary of the Province by 1683 and in 1688 was
appointed Receiver General and Escheator.[5]



1690: Paul was disqualified by Seth Sothell from holding office, and
was sent to jail and forcibly dispossessed of the records intrusted to
him because he would not deliver the seal used for granting lands.[6]

1691: February 3, GRIMBALL in his petition to the Governor and Council
[7] recites the outrages committed by Sothell and his followers, and
among other things states that William Chapman, the constable at Charles
Town with seven others from Berkley County went to the petitioners house
on "Edistoh" Island, Colleton County "forty miles by water" on February
3, 1691, entered his house with clubs, frightening Mrs. GRIMBALL and
the family, making the search upon the pretence of hunting for public
papers and records.[8]

In May, 1691, the Proprietors granted GRIMBALL a new commission. [9]

1693: In April, they wrote to Col. Ludwell transmitting to Mr. GRIMBALL
a power to appoint and remove Judges or Sheriffs of the counties at
pleasure. They also stated that Mr. GRIMBALL complained that he was
obliged to stay in town longer than is needful, and requested that the
duties of his office be made as little irksome as possible.[10]

1695: The Proprietors wrote to Mr. GRIMBALL, June 28, 1695 concerning
the appointment of Archdale as Governor.

1696: Paul GRIMBALL made his will on December 13, as Paul GRIMBALL,
Esq. of Edisto Island, Colleton County. He mentions his wife Mary, sons,
Thomas and John, daughter Providence GRIMBALL, daughters Mary Hamilton
and Ann Linkley, & son-in-law Christopher Linkley. The lands mentioned
in his will were on Edisto, 1600 acres to his wife for life, and then to
his son, Thomas, and 400 acres to his daughter Ann Linkley. There is no
mention of lands to any of his other children. He had formerly owned
lands on Cooper river the plantation known later as Wraggs or Marshland,
[11] but sold during his life time. GRIMBALL in his will, proved February 20, 1696,
requests that a ring be given to Governor Archdale as a token of respect.

Another account:

1530: The first recorded exploration of Edisto Island by the Spaniard
Lucas de Ayllon who sailed to the Carolinas from Cuba. There he found an
Indian tribe whom he phonetically spelled "Oristo". The French later
called them the "Audusta." But to the English, they were the Edisto
(Edistoe, Edistow, Odistash). Never a particularly numerous tribe, the
Edisto had been further reduced in number by diseases introduced by earlier
Europeans. They practiced limited agriculture, preferring to gather

their food from the abundance of the woods and sea island estuaries. They
were never a threat to white settlers in the area.

1681: Paul GRIMBALL had been granted 3000 acres of land by Lord
Shaftesbury and two other proprietors April 10th, and received 600 more on
arrival based on the number in his family and the number of servants. He
was a wealthy English merchant and owned his own ketch named "Tryall."

1681/82: On February 10th, he entered a petition for 600 acres "on any
Navigable River" but the warrant was not issued until October 1, 1683.

1682: GRIMBALL's herds of cattle and hogs increased and crops grew
abundantly in the fertile soil of the island. He planted Indian corn,
English peas, onions and tobacco. Local Indians came to buy merchandise he
offered for sale He lists his occupation as a merchant. He was a close
associate of Landgrave Joseph Morton, twice governor of the province who
built on the island and introduced slavery.

1682/83: In February, Paul GRIMBALL came to South Carolina from England
possibly from Wales. As far as is known, he was the first and only of
the last name GRIMBALL to come to America.

1682/83: Records of land warrants show his receiving a grant on March
2nd, for lands on the Cooper River bounding on land already purchased by
him from Samuel Bosewood.

1682-1683: For a time , Paul and Mary lived on the peninsula neck on
the Cooper River on a plantation known as Wraggs or Marshland. By 1674,
Anthony Ashley Cooper, the Early of Shaftesbury, had bought Edisto
Island from the Indians and granted 600 acres of it to GRIMBALL.

1683: Paul GRIMBALL also served as Surveyor General, and Secretary of
the Province. In Colleton County records, he is listed as Col. Paul GRIMBALL.
One source lists him as one of the most important men of his period.

1684: Paul GRIMBALL sold Wraggs and built a tabby home at Point of
Pines on the North Edisto where he settled with his wife and two daughters
as the first recorded English settlers on the island. Tabby remains of
the foundation and a corner section of a wall are still visible. This
site is the earliest known tabby in South Carolina. Between August 16.
1684 and January 7, 1686 He was granted additional warrants of land.

1685: Paul swore allegiance to King James II and submission to the
Lords Proprietors and the Fundamental Constitution on October 6th. He
signed his name Paull GRIMBALL.


GRIMBALL was very active in colonial government, holding almost every
position except governor of the colony. He sided with the Proprietary
Faction in their disputes with the colonists. This party tended to attract religious
dissenters and those who opposed the Indian slave trade. He is listed as one of
the eight Deputies of the Lords Proprietor in 1685 who sat in the Proprietary
Parliament, a position he may have gained as early as 1683.

1686: In the summer over 100 Spaniards plus Indians arrived in three
galleys, landed on Edisto Island, and sacked and burned to the ground the
houses of Governor Morton, Paul GRIMBALL who was then serving as
Secretary of the Province, and five others, carrying away great wealth.
GRIMBALL’s losses totaled over £1156. Both men and their immediate families
were away in Charles Town on business. The Spanish raided the warehouses
and slaughtered the cattle. The governor's brother-in-law, Edward
Bowell was killed. He was carried off on a ship which ran aground. The
ship was burned when it could not be freed. GRIMBALL’s indentured maid
Kitts Oats was abducted and never heard from again.

1687: GRIMBALL served on a committee to consider modification of the
Fundamental Constitution of the colony to make it more acceptable to both
the proprietors and the people.

1688: He was appointed Receiver General and Escheator of the province.
For a time he also served as secretary to Governor Morton and was a
member of the Grand Council, and later the council of Gov. Archdale.

1690: When the Proprietors rejected the changes, strife between the
Proprietors and the colonists broke out. Landgrave James Colleton, son
of proprietor Sir John Colleton, was placed in charge of the province but
could not bridge the gap between the people and the proprietors. Because
he tended to rule arbitrarily, there was an outbreak of violence and Colleton
declared martial law. GRIMBALL supported this move. The people rebelled seizing
all public records and imprisoning Secretary GRIMBALL. The public records
entrusted to him were forcibly taken away since he would not willing remit them to
the new government. The Assembly met without being summoned to resist the
governor. Seth Sothell, who had bought out the Earl of Clarendon and was now a Proprietor, arrived to administer the colony. Most of the people accepted him as a
relief from Colleton. He removed the deputies of the other proprietors and appointed
replacements. Paul GRIMBALL was disqualified by Sothell from holding any
public office for siding with Colleton and for refusing to deliver the official seal used
for granting lands.

1691: However, GRIMBALL was not silenced. In his letters, he recites
the "outrages" committed by Sothell and his followers including that on
Feb. 3, 1691, Sothell sent men who entered his home on "Edistoh" in the
pretense of hunting public records and had frightened his wife and
family with clubs. Removal of the deputies brought Sothell the extreme
displeasure of the proprietors. Sothel was suspended from office Nov.
1691 and all laws passed under him were set aside. In May 1691 GRIMBALL
was granted a new commission.

Served as Lord Carterett's deputy. He is mentiones in the Records
of the British Public Records Office as serving on a committee to
appoint the "high sheriffe of Berkly" and as one of several impowered to
take Ralph Izard into custody.

GRIMBALL's name appears with others on a letter to the king on November
24th,assuring him, "Wee will be ready to spend those (our) lives and
fortune we so peaceably enjoy under the wings of your Royal protection in
defence of your sacred majestys person crown & prerogative."

1692: Chancery Records show that On May 13th, GRIMBALL took Sothell to
court. The issue is not stated, but the jury found in favor of GRIMBALL.
On May 20 he petitioned the court for £400 for damages due to his
removal from office by Sothel. The court granted him £100. He also
petitioned the court to force Sothell to appear in court and answer
complaints. On May 26, 1692, the Journal of the Grand Council of SC
again lists GRIMBALL as a Deputy. GRIMBALL petitioned the Council to
have public records and additional private papers returned by Sothell.
Sothell appeared before the Council but refused to return the papers,
stating "that he would deliver them only to such as had power to Demand
and Receive the Same which none in Carolina had, and further said that
the Said papers , packquets and orders were Seized by a better authority
than any was since or now is in Carolina." In 1692 he was appointed as one
of the three representatives from the Upper House to serve on a joint
commission to consider a new system of government under the Luddell
administration. In 1693 was given the power to appoint and remove sheriffs
and judges at will. In 1695 Governor Archdale appointed him to the Council
of the colony. In his will, GRIMBALL left Archdale a ring as a token of his
high respect.

1693: He witnessed the Governors’ order requiring licenses of "public
houses of entertainment" on May 14th.

1694-1695: He received sworn testimonies on October 18, 1694, November
29, 1694, and May 13, 1695. One of his responsibilities was to act as
the principal trustee for conveying lands. Therefore, his seal appears
on numerous early documents. He was the principle trustee for passing
grants of land on behalf of the Proprietors. He also probated wills,
granted power of attorney, received inventories of goods, and witnessed
transfer of goods or sale of goods.

1695: Abstract of the Will of Paul GRIMBALL: Records of the Court of
Ordinary, the Province of South Carolina, 1692 - 1700.

1696: Will of Paul GRIMBALL, Esq. of Edisto Island, Colleton County. Made
December 13, 1695 and proved before Thomas Cary, Secy. February 20, 1696.

Martha Fowler, widow. In his will he bequeathed his clothing, gold watch,
gun, silver hilted sword and French books to Thomas GRIMBALL, Ann’s

1784: Married Martha SEABROOK, the only daughter of Robert (c. 1726-1775)
and Mary SEABROOK.

1790: John is listed on the 1790 census as having a household of
himself, 3 males under 16 and 2 females. He owned 40 slaves. He deeded
to his brother Isaac 236 acres on Edisto. John and Isaac are mentioned
in the will of their uncle John GRIMBALL and in that of their stepfather
Abraham Bush. In his will, Abraham Bush refers to John as his “son-in-law”
rather than stepson as was the practice in those days.

1791: There was a John JENKINS who is listed in the January 10th State
Gazette of South Carolina for failure to appear for jury duty in
November 1790 at Coosawhatchie. According to the South Carolina Historical
Magazine this was fairly common. Many preferred to pay the fine than suffer
the discomforts of jury duty with no financial compensation for service.
There were two John JENKINS in the St. Helena’s area at this time: this
man and John (d. 1813), son of Joseph and Phoebe (Chaplin) JENKINS.

1799: John JENKINS, Jr. died intestate; stone lists ages as 58 years, but
other accounts indicate his age as 38 years. Maybe the stone was misread.

OGIER ORIGINS

The Viking Age saw the Nordic Sea-Peoples of Scandinavia, called "Vikings",
also "Varangians", or "North-Men" [= "Normans"], that is, the Norse, who
were Danes, Norwegians, and Swedes, roving about the high seas in their
dragon-ships as pirates traveling long distances in search of booty and
plunder. The seas swarmed with these seafaring marauders from Scandinavia
who terrorized Europe for roughly three hundred years attacking
unexpectedly without warning, looting, pillaging, and burning villages
and towns and massacring their inhabitants.

The first recorded Viking raid on England took place in Year 789. There
had been earlier raids we know of from legends however this was the
first historical one. This event signals the start of the Viking Age. It
was the beginning of a long protracted struggle between the Vikings and
the Anglo-Saxons. The Vikings attacked England first, then Scotland and
its Northern and Western Islands, then Wales, and Ireland, as well as
France. The leader of these early Viking raids was OGIER "The Dane", a
scion of the Scyldings of Denmark, who, from his pirate fort at Scapa
Flow in the Orkney Islands, sailed the seas with his followers, called
"North-Men" or "Normans", whom he recruited from all over Scandinavia,
and made raids on the British Isles and other lands. Legend says that
OGIER "The Dane" as a teenager was a hostage at Charlemagne's Court. There
are varying stories about how he came to be there. OGIER was favored by
Charlemagne, and accompanied him on his campaigns. OGIER as a young man
fought under Charlemagne as one of his captains, and became one of
Charlemagne's paladins. Charlemagne freed OGIER for his service, and gave
him permission to return to his homeland. OGIER attracted a band of
followers in Denmark, and became the leader of a gang of Viking pirates.
OGIER, over the next few years, made raids on the British Isles which are
unrecorded in history and are known only from legends. It was during
this period that OGIER kidnapped the wife and son of a British king. He
married the wife, and adopted her son, Baldwin, as his step-son. OGIER
later returned to France with his band of followers and took service
under Charlemagne as mercenaries in his hire. It was during this period
that OGIER won his epic victory over invading Saracens, which is told in
the French epic "Les Enfances OGIER". The situation changed when
OGIER's step-son, Baldwin, was murdered by Charlemagne's son, Prince Charles
(Charlot), over a chess game that Baldwin won. The French crown-prince
became angry that he had lost the game and slew Baldwin for deriding
him. OGIER, outraged at the murder, drew his sword, called "Curtana",
against Charlemagne's son in revenge, however, according to myth, warned
by a voice from Heaven to show mercy, spared him. A feud ensued between
OGIER and Charlemagne, and OGIER took his men and joined the service of
Desiderius (Didier), King of the Lombards [Italy], with whom Charlemagne was

then warring. The war went against Desiderius, and he was defeated by
Charlemagne who conquered his kingdom (774). OGIER was captured after the
battle and brought before Charlemagne. He refused all offers of reconciliation,
and Charlemagne put him in prison. OGIER, however, escaped and made his
way back home to Denmark where he raised another war-band and began
making raids on France in addition to Britain and Ireland which prompted
Charlemagne to create a coast-guard to fend off his attacks. OGIER now totally
gave himself over to the life of a Viking. He landed on the southern coast
of England at Portland in Dorset in 789 with three boatloads of "North-Men".
There they were met by some local officials who fatally mistook them for
merchants. The Vikings slew the English officials, and proceeded to sack,
thieve, and loot several towns in Southern England before returning to
their ships. Some versions of the "ASC" say that the Vikings came from
"Herethaland" which is either Hardeland in Denmark or Hordaland in Norway,
however, other versions do not mention their place of origin which leads
scholars to speculate that this is a later insertion. The insertion may have
been added as a learned guess, since the center of his father's Danish
sub-kingdom was Hardeland in Denmark. OGIER and his followers then sailed
up the Thames and despoiled London and made raids in the English midlands.
After that, they made raids in Northern England but withdrew in the
face of native resistance which was just then getting organized by the
English nation to combat the Viking menace. In 792 the Vikings struck
again in England, and, in the following years they began attacking
unexpectedly with increasing frequency and more reckless ferocity,
so that the calamitous assaults suffered by the English people came to be
unbearable. The Vikings were fierce and blood-thirsty, and abominably savage.
The Vikings under OGIER "The Dane" looted and burned monasteries in England,
Scotland, and Ireland, 793, 794, and 795, seizing their treasures and killing
their monks. No place was safe from their attacks. They were the "terrorists"
of their time. In 793 OGIER looted the famous monastery at Lindisfarne in England.
In 794 OGIER and his gang of cut-throats converged upon the Orkneys Islands and
massacred all of its native Pictish inhabitants in a butchery of epic proportions,
and established their pirate fort at Scapa Flow which became their permanent
base. The native language of the Orkneys disappeared along with its native
inhabitants at this time, and the Orkneys remained "Viking" throughout
the medieval era. In 795 OGIER harried the Scottish coasts, and looted
another famous monastery, the one at Iona in Scotland founded by St.
Columba. He raided the monastery at Iona a second time in 802, and
following a third attack in 806 its resident abbot and monks relocated to
Kells in Ireland and left Iona abandoned for more than a century. The
Vikings under OGIER raided the Sudreys [the Hebrides] off Western Scotland
in 795, and laid waste to the Isle of Skye. From there OGIER and his
men swept into the Irish Sea and landed in Glamorgan, South Wales, and
foraged about the countryside until driven out by local Welsh kings.
OGIER then with his raiders crossed over the sea to Ireland and began

assailing its coasts. The attack on Rathlin, north of Dublin, in 795,
was the first recorded Viking raid on Ireland. OGIER "THE DANE" (HOLGER
"DANSKE") increased his attacks on England after King Offa's death in 796
and occupied York and founded a short-lived Viking-state called the "Danelaw".
He was even crowned by Eanbald II [his chaplain, who took the name of his English
predecessor], whom he installed as Arch-Bishop of York to replace Eanbald I, whom
he expelled that year. Tradition makes OGIER "THE DANE" a "King of England".
It was sort of a restoration since OGIER "The Dane" was a descendant of Havelock
"The Dane", a Danish prince, who reigned as "King of England" 560-565. In
798 OGIER raided Scotland again, ravaged the Isle of Man, returned to
Ireland and rustled the cattle-tribute which the Irish sub-kings paid to
the Irish High-King every year. In another incursion into Wales that
year, OGIER reeked havoc until driven out by the Mercians. In 799 OGIER
attacked France, landed in Aquitaine, but was repelled by its duke. He and
his men attacked the Netherlands in 800. And, in 801, OGIER attacked France
again, landed in Neustrie [Normandy], and terrorized the countryside
until driven out by Charlemagne. OGIER suffered a major defeat in England
in 802 fighting the Mercian King Cenwulf, who overran the Viking
settlement in England and expelled the Viking colonists from the country.
The Viking-state in England, that is, the "Danelaw", dissolved at this
time, yet was later revived under OGIER's heirs. OGIER, after the debacle, set
out with his men on a five years' odyssey that took them to far and exotic places.
OGIER made raids in Spain, Morocco, and Sicily, and on numerous Mediterranean
towns and cities. OGIER in his exploits journeyed east and visited Constantinople,
where he and his men may have briefly hired themselves out to the eastern
emperor as mercenaries and may have served him as his bodyguards. There
is a legend that OGIER, after hearing about the great wealth of Ethiopia,
attacked that country and plundered its cities. He and his war-band of Viking
bandits looted their way east as far as India. OGIER renewed his attacks
on the British Isles upon returning west. He made raids in England in
807, in Scotland in 808, and in Wales in 809. His sons, Sveide, Othger,
and Svavar, now appear accompanying their father on all of his raids. The
Vikings under OGIER made raids in Ireland throughout Ulster, Connaught, and
Munster, in 811, 812, and 813. He sacked Cork in 811, appeared in the Owles
of Mayo and in Connemara in 812, and raided as far south as Kerry in 813.
OGIER returned to France, suffered another defeat this time at the hands
of Charlemagne, and was captured after the battle. The story of his
reconciliation with Charlemagne is told in the French epic "La Chevalerie
OGIER de Danemarche." OGIER, upon Charlemagne's death in 814, according
to legend, married Adelaide, called Charlemagne's widow, but who was
actually one of Charlemagne's former mistresses, and, thereupon retired
from the life of a Viking and settled down with his new bride. The viking
raids however continued with increasing fury under OGIER's sons, who, after
some quarreling among themselves, split-up and became the leaders of separate
viking groups. OGIER died three years later in 817. The adventures of

OGIER are told in the French epic "Chansons de Geste" as well as in many
Danish stories, ballads, and legends. The Vikings under the sons and
descendants of OGIER "The Dane" made raids all over Europe, the Near East,
and Northern Africa. They sailed the North Sea, the Mediterranean, and the
North Atlantic. The Vikings even came to America, for in 967 the Viking-leader
Ullman, one of OGIER's descendants, was the guest of the native Indian king
Topiltzin, who was then presiding over a "Golden Age" of Classical Mexico.

The house of Pierre (Peter) OGIER (b. 1680):

In Soho, Westminster and particularly in Spitalfields, where by 1700 the
Huguenot community was said to number 23,000, worshipping in nine Huguenot
churches. In the streets, it became more usual to hear French spoken than
English. Most of the Huguenots were weavers, poor people forced to leave
everything behind them. They went to work for more prosperous master weavers,
also Huguenots, who built themselves fine houses along Spitalfields' narrow
streets - such as the one which today houses the Museum of Immigration
at 19 Princelet Street, off Brick Lane - where they planted dahlias and
tulips in their gardens and kept pigeons and songbirds. Built in 1719, the
small house was originally home to master silk weaver Peter OGIER and his
family, Huguenots fleeing persectution in France. Huguenots, or French
Protestants, were the first foreigners to move into the neighborhood, in the
late 17th century. At the height of its prosperity, Spitalfields, by
now one of the greatest weaving centres of Europe, had 12,000 looms, its
weavers working in attic rooms,lit by especially enlarged long windows. Peter
OGIER, a silk merchant among the 50,000 or so Huguenots fleeing religious
persecution by Louis XIV, and his family were the first to occupy 19
Princelet Street in 1719. The master silk weaver's home has remained nearly
unchanged since then, even the original kitchen sink is still in place. The OGIER
family's kitchen and living quarters give an idea of 18th-century domestic life.
it retains its 19th-century chandeliers and an elegant balcony. Monsieur OGIER,
master weaver, and his family brought with them skills as clockmakers and glass
blowers, gunsmiths and engravers. They made wigs, wove tapestries and printed calico,
and started a felt hat industry. the silk weaving trade of OGIER prospered mightily.
One of the most successful silkweaving families of Spitalfields was the OGIERs,
several of whom where Directors of the French Hospital. One branch, headed by the
Master Weaver, Peter OGIER, whose portrait hangs at La Providence. The house
at 19 Princelet Street is today the Spitalfields Centre and is being developed as a
national museum of immigration. Officers of the Huguenot Society and the French
Hospital have been closely involved from the outset and, in their private capacities,
support the Friends of the Spitalfields Centre, which is seeking to widen its
membership. Information from: The Spitalfields Centre, 19 Princelet Street,

The house of Pierre (Peter) OGIER (b: 1711):

Once one of Spitalfield’s smartest address, 37 Spital Square, now the offices of
SPAB (The Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings). Dating from around
1740, this richly panelled former Huguenot silk merchant’s house became the
headquarters of Britain’s oldest heritage charity after it was rescued from
dereliction in the 1980s. SPAB is the largest, oldest and most technically
expert national pressure group fighting to save old buildings from decay,
demolition and damage, offering courses, publications and advice to help
professionals, homeowners and enthusiasts care for historic buildings.
37 Spital Square stands on the site of the twelfth century Augustinian
Priory and Hospital of St Mary. Archaeological excavations nearby have
revealed walls, column bases and hundreds of graveyard burials. In the
basement of number 37 visitors can still see a stone corbel from the priory
buildings. The probable builder or first occupier of the present 37 Spital
Square was Peter OGIER III, a Huguenot refugee like so many of the 18th
century inhabitants of Spitalfields. The OGIERs, a prominent and wealthy
French family, fled to England to escape religious persecution; they
settled in Spitalfields and prospered as silk merchants. In 1740 Peter
would have been in his late 20s and had probably just inherited following
his father’s death. This perhaps provided the finances needed for work to,
or the purchase of, 37 Spital Square. Peter OGIER appears to be the first
new occupier since 1699. Of the "quiet, unobtrusive, irregularly shaped
square" described in the 1840s, number 37 is the only Georgian building
remaining. However, newly vibrant Spitalfields is now one of the most
culturally diverse and exciting areas of London with the famous curry houses
of Brick Lane vying with shops, boutiques, galleries and market stalls to
attract visitors.


Spital Square was built to house a wealthy Huguenot silk weaver. The first
owner was the man who built it – Peter OGIER III, the scion of a rich French
Huguenot family. As a boy Peter was smuggled from France as a religious refugee.
His family settled in Spitalfields and prospered as a silk merchant. In 1740,
Peter was in his late twenties, and had probably just inherited the family fortune
following his father’s death. This could explain why he made the decision to
build such a substantial home. Beneath that home lay the remnants of the old
Augustinian hospital. The south transept of the Priory Church lies beneath what
is now number 37. The basement of the house also includes a stone corbel, probably
from the Priory, and the foundations are made from re-used medieval stonework.
A century later, an 1842 account mentions that “a large proportion of houses in
the square are inhabited by silk manufacturers”. By the latter half of the last
century, so much demolition and redevelopment had taken place that number 37 was
the only Georgian house left of the old Spital Square. SPAB took over the property
just in time, saving the building and carrying out extensive repairs
during the 1980s. Fitting then, that from this site the society now
oversees the saving and repair of similarly impressive architectural fabric
throughout the country.

NOTE: Princelet Street, Spital Square and Threadneedle Street are all
within a few blocks of each other in London.

Lewis OGIER was a Cavalry Captain during the American Revolution:
Southern Campaign: Marion's Brigade: December 1780

In December, 1780, Francis Marion was promoted from colonel to
brigadier general by South Carolina Governor John Rutledge. The commission
had actually been promised on August 14, 1780, when both Marion and
Rutledge were in Maj. General Horatio Gates' camp. However, Marion did not
begin serving in that capacity until Rutledge notified the South Carolina
delegation to the Continental Congress on December 30, 1780.

Marion then went about organizing what would be known as Marion's
Brigade. Colonel Peter Horry commanded the mounted elements made up of
troops under Major. Lemuel Benson and Captains John Baxter, John Postell,
Daniel Conyers and James McCauley. Peter's brother, Lt. Colonel Hugh
Horry commanded the infantry elements with companies commanded by Major
John James and Captains John James, James Postell and James Witherspoon.
Colonel Hugh Ervin served as Marion's second-in-command, while CAPTAINS
John Milton, LEWIS OGIER and Thomas Elliott served as Aides de Camp.

1685: Louis XIV had revoked the Edict of Nantes which gave some religious freedom
to the Protestants. The Protestants fled. Such flight was illegal. Everybody was
supposed to stay home and be a Roman Catholic. They escaped disguised as peasants.
Some would never permit French to be spoken in their family so determined were they
to break the ties with the horrors of France. There is a story one of the friends
of the GAILLARDs was smuggled out in a wine cask. He was uncorked in England,
drunk and with a Bible in his hand. The GAILLARDs came from the middle class of
Languedoc. In America, they became prosperous, well educated and patriotic. There
is an interesting, if romanticized, account of the ante-bellum French settlements
of South Carolina in which some GAILLARDs lived, found in Historical Houses of
South Carolina by H.K. Leiding (J.B. Lippincott, 1921, p. 147-151).

1685: In October a land warrant was issued to Joachim GAILLARD "Jamestown
Precinct" for six hundred acres. Although a grant that size cannot be found in the records,
three grants of two hundred acres each, adjacent to one another on the Santee River,
were recorded January 18, 1688. They were made out to Jean Francois de Gignilliat.

1690: Judge James, in his Life of Marion, states: About seventeen years after the
first settlement of Carolina, in 1690, and a short time subsequently, between
seventy and eighty French families, fleeing from the bloody persecutions exerted
against them in their mother country, settled on the banks of the Santee. These
extended themselves at first only fromthe lower ferry at South Santee - Mazyck's
Ferry - about two miles below Wambaw Creek, in St. James Parish, to within a few
miles of Lenud's Ferry and back from the river into the Parish of St. Denis, called
the Orange Quarter. From this point, says Simms, they gradually spread themselves
out so as to embrace in partial settlement the spacious tract of country stretching
to the Winyaw on the one hand and the sources of Cooper river on the other, then
extending upwards into the interior, following the course of the Santee nearly to
the point where it loses its identity in receiving the descending streams of the
Wateree and Congaree.

1690: Hewitt, in his History of South Carolina, says: "In 1690 King William sent a
large body of Huguenots to Virginia. Some purchased land from the Proprietors of
Carolina, transported themselves and families to that quarter, and settled a colony
on the Santee river. They did not yet understand English.

On May 5, two hundred acres each were conveyed to Joachim GAILLARD and his sons,
Bartholomew and John. Peter would have been only around 14 in 1685. Simond had
died young. Bartholomew GAILLARD purchased Jamestown lots numbers 1 and 36.
John GAILLARD purchased Jamestown lot number 2. Peter GAILLARD purchased
Jamestown lot number 10. The Huguenots on the Santee had established residences
north of the river, within ten years of the supposed period of their first settlement in that
region of country. Although concurrent opinions have designated the year 1690 as that
in which a colony was first seated there, circumstances would indicate an earlier period.

1692: On record is an instrument of importance, drawn by Bartholomew GAILLARD,
vesting power of attorney given to his brother John, dated May 22d, 1692. It appears
that there were three brothers, all residents on the Santee, the name of the third being
Peter. We find also a warrant under the name and seal of James Colleton, Governor.

1696: The list of French and Swiss who desired to be naturalized in Carolina under
the Act of 1696 includes Joachim GAILLARD, the progenitor of the GAILLARD family
of South Carolina. Joachim was the son of Jean GAILLARD and Marie GAILLARD of
Montpellier in Languedoc, France. The area from which Joachim came is a fine
section of France: warm, sea-scented, full of vineyards and colorful things. The
inhabitants are small, sunbrowned and emotional. They speak with their eyes, their
hands, and they are excitable, cynical and friendly, a thoroughly delightful lot.
The area is still one in which the Protestant Church is prominent, which was why
the GAILLARDs left France to begin with. They were Huguenots, French Calvinists.

1708: Oldmixon, in his history of Carolina, published in 1708, remarks of Craven
County, that it is pretty well inhabited by English and French. Of the latter there
is a settlement on the Santee river. The English settlement embraced within the
Parish of St. Stephens, was designated as English Santee, while that below,
composed of Huguenots in the Parish of St. James, was called French Santee.

1737: Theodore married Elizabeth Serre. Either her brother, Noe, or her father
was a Justice of the Peace in 1737.

The Serre family history is in the “South Carolina Historical and Genealogical
Magazine,” Volume XLIII, 1942, page 14, which states:
“As the Act of Naturalization (1696) records a “Noah Serre, weaver”, he was
probably bred to that trade. He was granted lot No. 190 in Charles Town, May 9,
1694, and it’s survey ordered March 3, 1695. Either for him or his son, Noe, the
Surveyor General was ordered to lay off 500 acres, August 27, 1701, and 200 acres
in Craven County, December 21, 1703. The second Noe was a planter on Santee,
perhaps the original owner of Hampton. His son, the third Noe, began the house
which passed to its present owners, the Rutledges, from their ancestor, Daniel
Horry, who received it as part of the dowry of his first wife, Judith Serre,
daughter of the builder. A daughter of one of the Noe Serres married Theodore,
son of Bartholomew GAILLARD. In brief, the weaver’s family rose to the top of
society in South Carolina.”

Hampton, the Serre plantation, near McClellanville, South Carolina is still standing.
Owned by the state of South Carolina, it serves as a museum. It is one of the oldest
and most interesting houses in the South. The original house, still standing, was
constructed by the Serres. Only the portico was added by the Rutledges. It is easy
enough to imagine how the house originally looked before the columns of the Greek
Revival craze were added. It was a large and dignified house of imposing simplicity,
a testimony to colonial taste and craftsmanship.

1756: Theodore GAILLARD, was a Justice of the Peace in South Carolina. A Justice of
the Peace at that time was rather of a district squire.

1757-1833: An account of Captain Peter GAILLARD

Captain Peter GAILLARD was born at the residence of his father, at Wambaw, St.James'
Parish, Santee, in the year 1757, being the youngest of a family of five sons and
three daughters. He and David were full brothers, his father having a second time
married after the birth of the first six children. Peter grew up to the age of ten
before he was placed at school, and I have heard him say he believed the rapid
progress he made was mainly owing to the shame and mortification he was subjected
to by finding boys much his juniors in age his superiors in learning; he soon took
a high stand in the school. When this school was discontinued, as there was a good
one near Milford, my grandfather's residence in St. Stephen's Parish, he, together
with Peter Robert, John Ball, and Francis Peyre, all cousins, were sent to that
school under the charge of their uncle, Isaac Dubose, who had five children
attending the school at the time, Isaac, David, Samuel, Catharine, and Joanna. After
finishing their academic course here, Peter GAILLARD and Samuel Dubose were sent to
Charleston as clerks in the store of Theodore GAILLARD, Peter's elder brother. Here
they continued until the war broke out. In consequence of the death of both David
and his wife Joanna Dubose, Peter became owner of the White Plains plantation, to
which he removed and lived with Samuel Dubose for some time as planters of indigo
in the swamp. In the progress of events the two friends separated. Samuel Dubose
taking side zealously with the Whigs, and the other remaining neutral. Most of the
friends of Peter GAILLARD warmly espoused the cause of the British government; and
the violence and uncompromising character of his father probably influenced the
son. Things remained so until the country got in the possession of the enemy. The
British general, Cornwallis, called into the field most of those who had taken
protection under his proclamation, and when a force was organized to hunt out Marion and his men on the Santee. Peter GAILLARD was appointed second in command.
General Marion, having ascertained the embodying and object of the party, suddenly
fell upon them at Black Mingo and dispersed them; this was the only occasion where
an active part was taken by Peter GAILLARD against his countrymen. His friends had
long known that he was lukewarm towards the cause he had espoused. After his
father's death Mr. GAILLARD wrote a letter to my father, to the effect that his
future services should be rendered for his country's success, and that if he
could adopt means to have him introduced to Marion and his brigade, he would
hold himself ready for any arrangement he could make, provided it involved no
mortifying or humiliating feelings. An interview was forthwith had with General
Marion, the subject opened, and the letter placed in his hands. The General
expressed heartfelt satisfaction at the announcement. He passed very warm
encomiums upon Peter GAILLARD's conduct at the battle of Black Mingo, stating
that owing to circumstances the command devolved upon Peter GAILLARD, who had
gallantly sustained himself, and that if he had met with support from his brother
officers the day would have been lost; Marion's force was the weakest, and he had
hoped for a surprise, which he failed to effect. The horses' feet on the bridge a
mile off apprised the sentinel of his approach, and allowed time for the enemy to
prepare for the battle. General Marion instructed my father to return his
congratulations, and to say that at and hour fixed upon he would advance with his
staff in front of his brigade, meet Mr. GAILLARD as a friend, and escort him into
camp. Policy dictated this, because Peter GAILLARD had in the camp many bitter foes.
The day after being fixed upon, my father, who was deputy brigade-major under Major
Keating Simons,left the camp, and returned with his friend at the point designated.
As soon as he was in sight, Marion advanced with his staff, met and cordially
greeted him, as did each of his family. The manner and the precautions taken
thoroughly quashed every symptom of discontent. Peter GAILLARD solicited and
received posts of peril and honor in quick succession. When Col. Cotes fired
Biggin Church and the large amount of stores contained in it, and attempted to
reach Charleston by Bonneau's Ferry, Peter GAILLARD was given a command to
check him at Watboo and at Huger's bridges and at Bonneau's Ferry ; this duty was
gallantly performed, and the advance of the enemy stopped at "Brabant," the
plantation of Bishop Smith. The Americans here came up, and Sumter, the senior
officer, contrary to the earnest advice of Marion, rushed into a battle which proved disastrous to the Americans. Mr. GAILLARD was afterwards under Charleston.
He also served under Col. John Laurens, was one of an advanced party to arrest the
British in their retreat to Chaleston, and witnessed the fall of Col. Laurens by
one of the last balls discharged in that war. After the war was over, Captain
GAILLARD married Elizabeth Porcher, daughter of Peter, of Peru (a plantation),
a lady to whom he had long been attached. Some unpleasant and annoying occurrences
he was fated to endure from a very few Whigs, who wanted magnanimity to cast a veil
over his first and youthful error. His subsequent course appeared to produce no
effect upon them. Death, however, in a few years, quieted everything. And no man
in any community, ever commanded in a greater degree the confidence and esteem of
his acquaintances, friends, and neighbors than did Captain GAILLARD. I will add in
corroboration, that in 1794, when the militia laws of the State were remodeled and
the whole system changed, all commissions vacated and new elections made. The
parish unanimously elected him captain, and this at a time when commissions were
more highly estimated than at present.

The disastrous ten years which preceded the introduction of cotton as a market
crop involved him, as it did others, in debt and distress. His record book, kept
with minute accuracy, states the fact, that in one of those years the entire crop
saved from one of those freshets was a few baskets of unmatured corn, which
required drying in the sun before it was fit for use. A family, and upwards of
one hundred slaves, had to be sustained without money; credit had to be obtained
from the more fortunate who planted on the Wateree or Congaree.

Captain GAILLARD purchased the Rocks in 1794, without funds,looking for nothing
more than to make bread for his dependents. Cotton had not been attempted as a
crop, and indigo did not pay for its cultivation. He settled the plantation in
1795, and made provisions. In the following year he attempted cotton, I believe
over one hundred acres, with unlooked-for success. On my return from school in
Camden, late in December, 1796, I called in to dine with his overseer, a friend
of mine, and saw, for the first time, the process of ginning and specking cotton.
A brilliant prospect now opened to the eyes of the desponding planters, fully to
be realized. The crop of 1799 or 1800 extricated him from debt. About twenty-two
years after, Captain GAILLARD divided his lands and negroes among eight children,
and retired in a green old age to enjoy as much of the world's happiness as is the
lot of man, and lived ten years after.

I never knew a better, a neater, or a more successful planter than Captain GAILLARD.
There was a completeness and finish, a compactness and uniformity about every thing,
that was pleasant to the eye. In a ride one day to "Lifeland," my grandfather, Peter
Sinkler, became the subject of conversation, and the captain thus expressed himself
about him as a planter. "If you will make him, Mr. Sinkler, the standard of a planter,
I have never known any other." I adopt and apply this opinion to him upon the maturest
consideration. There was a generosity that belonged to him that few possessed, and the
knowledge of which would be gratifying to his descendants. When a rapid accumulation
of funds in his factor's hands took place, his nephew and factor, Theodore GAILLARD,
Jr., borrowed of him a large sum of money, and mortgaged for its safety the
plantation now owned by Thos. Ashby Esq., and a number of negroes. After the
bankruptcy of Mr. GAILLARD, the mortgage foreclosed, the property sold for very
little to Captain GAILLARD, owing to a great blunder of one of the banks, which
held a younger mortgage. When the Captain found that half the purchase could
pay him the bona-fide debt, and leave thirty negroes, he generously made it over
to Theodore's children. When he married his second wife, he became entitled to her
property, but he never used one cent of it, but gave it all to her children,
returning even what she had used as his wife. In the twenty-three or twenty-four
years after Captain GAILLARD had paid his last debt, he paid for real property
$118,000; retaining for his own use upwards of $13,000 in stock, and dividing
among his children upwards of five hundred negroes.

1763: John married Judith PEYRE on 15 Mar 1763.

1805-1826: John's son, John, was also a senator. Born on 5 Sep 1765 Saint Stephen's
Parish, Charleston County, South Carolina; died in Washington, D. C., 26 February,
1826. He was elected to the United States senate in place of Pierce Butler,
resigned, and served from 31 January 1805, until his death. He voted for the war
of 1812, and was chosen, on account of the death of two vice-presidents, Clinton
and Gerry, during his term, to preside over the senate pro tempore in every
congress from the 11th to the 18th, inclusive. He thus filled the president's
chair for fourteen years. Thomas H. Benton, in his "Thirty Years' View," says:
" Urbane in his manners, amiable in temper, scrupulously impartial, uniting
absolute firmness of purpose with the greatest gentleness of manners--such were
the qualifications which commended him to the presidency of the senate. There was
probably not an instance of disorder or a disagreeable scene in the chamber during
his long-continued presidency. He classed democratically, but was as much the
favorite of one side of the house as of the other, and that in the high party times
of the war with Great Britain, which so much exasperated party spirit."

1766-1829: John's brother, Theodore GAILLARD (born on 6 Nov 1766 Saint Stephen's
Parish, Charleston County, South Carolina - died in 1829 , buried in Charleston,
Charleston County, South Carolina, Saint Phillip's Episcopal Churchyard) was a Judge.

1775–1783: John served in the Served In Revolutionary War. He had a residence in
Windsor Plantation, South Carolina.

1776: John was employed by Justice of the Peace in Craven County, South Carolina.

Senator John GAILLARD served as United States Senator from Saint Stephen in the
First and Second Provincial Congresses.

1781: Theodore GAILLARD’s will was dated March 16, 1781. He left property to his
second wife, Lydia, for life, then to the sons of his son, Charles. To son John,
the Wambaw plantation, 1450 acres. Leaves 1500 pounds for the education of his
grandsons, sons of his son, Charles. To son Peter, 50 Negroes, Land at St. Stephens
to son Peter. Rest of estate to John, Theodore, Jr. and daughter, Catherine.

1786: Theodore GAILLARD’s will was administered by Mr. Charles GAILLARD, his
son and planter, of the same parish, April 21, 1786.

Theodore GAILLARD, Jr., the brother of Charles, played an active part in
Revolutionary activities in South Carolina. He was a member of the Provincial
Assembly which ratified independence for South Carolina. The South in the
Building of the Nation, Volume II (Richmond, Va. 1909) under Senator John
GAILLARD, the U.S. Senator from South Carolina, 1805-26, states:

“The GAILLARD family of South Carolina is of Huguenot descent, and began to
attain prominence about the time of the Revolution, in which all were patriots.”
To be fair, this is not quite the case. Tacitus GAILLARD, uncle of Charles and
Theodore, was a prominent planter, representative in the Assembly and a strong
Tory. He moved west in 1778 or 1779 “possibly because like other members of
his family his sympathies were with the Tories.” If Uncle Tacitus was a Tory,
the children of Theodore were not. Theodore, Jr. was making speeches for
independence in the Assembly. Charles was furnishing Negroes and supplies.
Sister Elizabeth GAILLARD had married Job Marion, the brother of General
Francis Marion, “the Swamp Fox.” The children of Theodore were wholeheartedly
committed to the Revolution. (S.C. Historical and Genealogical Magazine,”
Vol. 39, April 1938 p.79)

1790: By 1790 Saint James Santee Parish was no longer in Craven County. The 1790
Census shows John and Charles listed as being in Charleston District, St. James
Santee Parish with John owning between 100 and 200 slaves, an indication that he
was a successful planter.

1815-1859: Peter Cordes GAILLARD was a physician, born in Charleston, South
Carolina.29 August, 1815; died, 14 January 1859. His father was Theodore GAILLARD
(1787-1805). His mother, Rebecca Foster, was the daughter of Mrs. Brewton, who was
noted for her patriotism during the Revolution. Dr. GAILLARD was graduated at the
College of South Carolina, Columbia, in 1834, and at the medical College of the same name
in Charleston in 1837 (The same year that Dr. William Lewis JENKINS graduated) after
visiting Paris in the interval. He subsequently returned to the latter City, where he studied
his profession for several years. He then settled in Charleston and spent his life there. He
succeeded Dr. S. H. Dickson in 1858 as professor of medicine in South Carolina medical
College, and was also assistant editor of the "Charleston Medical Journal," and president
of the South Carolina medical society. He made a specialty of hygiene and sanitary science, and believed that yellow fever is imported and, to a certain extent, contagious.

Charles GAILLARD Was A Planter in "Little Hell Hole" Swamp.

1685: The DuPre family is descended from Josias and Martha DuPre. Josias DuPre was
a Huguenot minister. When Louis XIV revoked the Edict of Nantes in 1685, the DuPre
family were among the Huguenots who fled France. They first went to Middleburg, a
Protestant city in the Netherlands. From there they made their way to England.

1686: The DuPre family arrived in South Carolina. They settled in the Orange
Quarter on the south bank of the East Branch of the Cooper River.

1692: Benjamin Simons (1672-1717 ) was born in the region of LaRochelle and the
Bay of Biscay. Orphaned early, he was adopted by his aunt, Martha DuPre, the wife
of Josias. When he was twenty years old, he married his first cousin, Mary Esther DuPre,
the daughter of his adopted parents, Josias and Martha DuPre, who also was his cousin.

1697: Josias DuPre and his sons, Cornelius and Josias, Jr. became citizens in 1697.

1697-1704: In the account of Orange Quarter, mention was made of the grants of
land in the vicinity to Benjamin Simons, the immigrant ancestor of the Dupre
family. These included 100 acres in 1697 and 350 acres in 1704 which are considered
to be part of Middleburg Plantation. A map prepared in 1913 by Judge H. A. M.
Smith and published in Volume 18 of The South Caronlina Historical Magazine
shows the lands along the Eastern Branch of the Cooper River, Middleburg is shown
on the River, next to Pompion Hill Church. East of it are Longwood Plantation (the l7th
Century Ponkin Hill Plantation), and a small part of Quenby; on the south are the
Club House tract, "The Camp" of Daniel Lesesne, and the Samuel Simons tract which
was originally granted to de la Motte; on the west are Camp Vere and a back end of
The Blessing. Until recent years Middleburg continued in the possession of
descendants of the builder. During the long ownership of Mrs. Edward von Siebold
Dingle, the Dingles made their home at Middleburg and Mr. Dingle achieved fame there
as a painter of Berkeley County birds.

1702: Josias, Sr. was granted land on the eastern branch of the Cooper River

1703: Josias, Sr. was granted an additional 730 acres.

1709: Grant of Land From The Lords Proprietors to Benjamin Simons on May 7th:

The Lords Proprietors to Benjamin Simons}
Granted for 1000 acres of Land in Berkley County
Date 7 May 1709

[A memorial of Five Hundred acres of Land bequeathed to Samuel
Simons son of Benjamin Simons was entered in the auditor's office the 18th
day of April 1733]

Josias, Sr. was active on the vestry of St. Thomas and St. Denis Church and
signed a warrant to pay the salary of the schoolmaster, “tenne pounds.”

1721: Josias DuPre, Jr. was a Justice of the Peace for Berkeley County, appointed by
Governor Nicholson. Justices of the Peace were usually men of either property or
prominence.

1731: Josias Jr. was a vestryman of Prince Frederick’s Episcopal Church.

Josias Jr. married Sara Garnier DuPre. They had, among other children, a son,
Josias Garnier DuPre. He married first, Ann(?), second, Sara Allston. He lived
in Prince Frederick’s Parish, and was clerk for the parish. His name appears
innumerable times in their Register Book, which has been reprinted by the
Colonial Dames.

1734: Josias Garnier DuPre was a pew holder in Prince Frederick’s Episcopal Church.
He had, among other children, a son, Josias DuPre, born in 1730, who married Ann
Mouzon. He also had a son, Lewis, who moved to North Carolina.

1747: The will of Josias Sr. was proved.

1764: Josias DuPre and Ann Mouzon DuPre had six children, including Anne and Lewis.
Josias died young on March 2, 1764, aged 34, and his wife remarried.

1770: Anne DuPre, their daughter, married Charles GAILLARD on September 13, 1770.

1762-1813: Lewis DuPre, 1762-1813, followed the tradition of the 18th century man,
thinker and inventor, and was part of the Golden Age of the South, in which liberal
ideas flourished, before the latter descent of the Orthodox Period. Lewis was Anne
DuPre's brother and was one of the most brilliant and colorful persons of his time.
He was also the uncle of David GAILLARD and Charles GAILLARD, Jr., the medical
evangelist, and the line of skilled intelligence and crusading compassion is evident.

Lewis DuPre invented pendulum screens, tinkered in mechanics, drew maps, and wrote
tracts against slavery and the use of animal food. Some of these tracts survive.
Even in the 18th century his views on slavery did not make him popular in South
Carolina and Charleston, although they tolerated him, but his vegetarian views
caused him to be regarded as something of an eccentric.

1763: Charles GAILLARD, Sr., planter of St. James Santee, married Anne DuPre
March 16, 1763.

1776: Charles GAILLARD, Jr., the father of Sara Holleman, was born in 1776,
a child of the Revolutionary year. He was raised on his father’s plantation in
the lowcountry at St. James Santee. The 1790 census shows his father owned 30
slaves. Charles, Jr. like his uncle, Lewis DuPre, was an early Charleston
crusader against slavery. However, Charles decided to become a physician.
It was as a physician that Charles, Jr. bought a farm and moved to the upcountry
to start his practice. There he was impressed with the suffering of the multitudes.
He was raised an Episcopalian, but touched by so much suffering he could not cure,
he became a Methodist preacher. He went from revival to revival until he caught
a fever from those he was nursing. He died in 1832. His son, Charles Lewis, was
also a medical evangelist in the upcountry, but progress had lessened the
suffering, so that he became primarily a preacher. Charles Lewis GAILLARD
was a well known Methodist preacher.

1790: Charles GAILLARD, Sr. served as a private in the militia of South Carolina
during the American Revolution and furnished Negroes for public works and
supplies for the troops. The 1790 census lists him as the owner of 30 slaves.

1806: Charles GAILLARD, Jr. who moved to upcountry South Carolina, married at
Georgetown, South Carolina on Feb.. 27, 1806, Mrs. Sara LaBorn, a widow of
Georgetown. (Marriage notice in “Charleston News and Courier,” Thursday,
March 6, 1806.) Charles and Sara GAILLARD had the following children: Anne,
Charles, Rebecca, Cornelius, and Sara. Anne was to marry Edmund Peyton Holleman,
Jr. and her sister, Sara, was to marry a brother, Joseph W. Holleman.

1812: Charles GAILLARD died. His son, Charles GAILLARD, Jr. moved to Old
Pendleton District, South Carolina. This is mentioned in the “Genealogical Table of the
GAILLARD Family” by Thomas GAILLARD of Mobile, Alabama, 1848, on file at the
State Archives in Columbia, and at the Huguenot Society at Charleston. However,
a more thorough history of the GAILLARD family in up-country South Carolina is
found in the History of Old Pendleton District and Genealogy of Leading Families
R. W Simpson 1913).

1813: The views of Lewis DuPre on slavery have been justified, and animal fat is now
know to be dangerous to one's health. The “Charleston Courier’ of January 4, 1813
carried this obituary. (He had died visiting the DuPres of North Carolina.) “Died,
Raleigh, N.C.: Lewis DuPre of Charleston, S.C., author of several tracts against
slavery and the use of animal food. His life was devoted to what he believed to be
the best interests of mankind.” It was a tongue in cheek tribute to an idealist whose
ideals they could not share. He was one of the most interesting men of his time and
area. Never marrying, he devoted himself to what he believed to be the best interests
of mankind.

The best history of the DuPres is found in an article entitled “Josias and Martha
DuPre and Some of Their Descendents in the January, 1970 “South Carolina Historical
Magazine.” (South Carolina Historical Magazine,” Vol. 71, No. 1, January, 60 1970,
Charleston, S.C. pages 46-60.)

LIVINGSTON ORIGINS

The earlier Alexander LIVINGSTON of Callendar (the one who was Regent in 1437)
besides being father of James LIVINGSTON, the First 'Lord LIVINGSTON' of
Callendar and of Alexander LIVINGSTON of Phildes, was one of the sons of John
LIVINGSTON of Callendar House who was a son of William de LIVINGSTON (who
first was granted the lands of Callendar in 1346 or 1347 and cemented his
claim by marrying Sir Patrick de Callendar's daughter, Christine de Callendar)
who was son of William de LIVINGSTON who was son of Andrew de LIVINGSTON.
Andrew was the sheriff of Lanark in 1296 and a member of Parliament in that
year, as was his kinsman (possible brother Archibald de LIVINGSTON). The
Sheriff of Lanark was killed in 1297 while suppressing William Wallace's
(Braveheart) rebellion. It is assumed Andrew was still that sheriff in 1297.
Archibald became sheriff of Linlithgow in 1301.

The ancestors of Andrew and Archibald leave us with a gap of a generation or
two that cannot be tracked, so we have a gap before we get back to William de
LIVINGSTON, who was one of the sons of Thurstan de LIVINGSTON, who was
son of Leving (or Living) a Saxon who came to Scotland sometime around the Norman
Conquest. The names of Leving and Thurston appear on the charter of the church
of the village of LIVINGSTON, Scotland.

Alexander LIVINGSTON of Phildes' (he was hanged and beheaded on Castle Hill in
Edinburgh in January 1450 by King James II's orders during James' 45 day purge
of the LIVINGSTON family) son, Alexander LIVINGSTON of Dunipace's sons, David
and Alexander, inherited the lands of Bantaskine and Dunipace, in that order,
the second becoming Master Alexander LIVINGSTON of Dunipace and Phildes, the
first 'Lord Dunipace.'

In the 'Laird of Warrestoun' the 1600 ballad written about the execution in
Edinburgh of Jean LIVINGSTON (Lady Warrestoun), the daughter of John
LIVINGSTON (the younger), third 'Lord Dunipace', John is referred to as
'Great Dunipace'. John's father was John LIVINGSTON (the elder), second 'Lord
Dunipace', and son of Master Alexander LIVINGSTON of Dunipace and Phildes.
Jean's trial on murder charges (Her nurse and groom killed her abusive husband,
Sir John Kincaid, the Lord of Warrestoun) and the subsequent execution raised
quite a stir in Edinburgh and Scotland in her day due to her youth (21), great
beauty and repentance, as well as her majestic bearing while walking calmly to
her execution site - described in the Domestic Annals of Scotland as looking
like she was going to her wedding.

One of Jean's brothers was the David LIVINGSTON who inherited Dunipace from
John LIVINGSTON, the younger, Knight. David was a member of Parliament, was
named the Knight Banneret (or Baronet) of Nova Scotia and later the Knight
Baronet of LIVINGSTON - Dunipace. He was the fourth 'Lord Dunipace' and


seemingly spent this Knight baronet into bankruptcy. John is the leading
candidate for being the John LIVINGSTON who emigrated to Virginia - to become
John LIVINGSTON (1) of Poropotank Creek. Julian LIVINGSTON is convinced that
this is "our John" - facts supporting the theory including the use of a
Coronet Seal, the description of sounding like that of a LIVINGSTON Knight
Baronet's Seal by 'John LIVINGSTON, the elder' (John LIVINGSTON (2)) of
Virginia. Julian mentioned in his book that Dunipace was the only LIVINGSTON
Knight Baronet at the time that was gone, whose Seal would be unaccounted
for. Sir Robert Spotswood himself met an unexpected fate - finding his
fortunes suddenly reversed and himself tried on seemingly trumped up charges
with a conviction and execution - the lands of Dunipace then passing onward.
The passage from person to person is documented in the Scottish book, 'The
Lands and Lairds of Dunipace'.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Family Chart of early Scottish LIVINGSTONS
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

The earliest three generations of the LIVINGSTON family in Scotland are
shown below.

1. Leving de LIVINGSTON (a Saxon immigrant)
2. Thurstan de LIVINGSTON
3. William de LIVINGSTON - succeeded his father (Thurstan) to
ownership of the family properties, etc. in the year 1200. That succession
is the last record of the surname we can find until Andrew and Archibald
some 90 years later.
3. Alexander de LIVINGSTON
3. Henry de LIVINGSTON - married Marie de Scalebroc

In the year 1187, two of Thurstan de LIVINGSTON's sons (William de
LIVINGSTON and Alexander de LIVINGSTON) witnessed a charter on which
Thurston was involved. Thurstan de LIVINGSTON's third son, Henry de
LIVINGSTON did not witness this charter.

The last record of these early LIVINGSTONs is a charter around the year
1200. Then there is a gap of about 90 years before the surname surfaces in
records again - this time with two kinsmen, possibly brothers, namely:
Andrew de LIVINGSTON and Archibald de LIVINGSTON. Both were members of
Parliament in 1296.

Archibald was Sheriff of Linlithgow by 1301 and had his own castle by 1310
or so. His line rose to power earlier on than Andrew's, but died out in the
mid 1500's. One of the Salisbury, MD, LIVINGSTONs managed to find the
earliest yet record of Archibald dating to the year 1291.
Andrew was Sheriff of Lanark in 1296 and probably the Sheriff of Lanark
killed in 1297 trying to suppress William Wallace's rebellion. Andrew is
the first person on the chart shown below.

First Six Generations after the 90 year gap:

1. Andrew de LIVINGSTON - married Elena de Caranteles
2. William de LIVINGSTON –
died about 1339. William married Margaret (Comyn??). They had two sons,
William de LIVINGSTON (who was given the lands of Callendar by King David II)
and John de LIVINGSTON
3. William de LIVINGSTON –
obtained Callendar (firmed up his claim to these lands by marrying Christian de
Callendar, the daughter of Sir Patrick de Callendar. Patrick had been stripped
of the lands of Callendar by King Robert the Bruce because he had supported
the politically wrong side. William was granted the lands by Robert's son,
King David II. William died prior to December 1, 1364
4. Patrick LIVINGSTON - died sometime after October 5, 1357
(before his father) Patrick was first in line to inherit Callendar before
his early death
4. William LIVINGSTON
4. John LIVINGSTON of Callendar - born about 1356 and died
September 14, 1402. He married (1) a daughter of Menteith
5. John LIVINGSTON Burgess of Stirling - born before 1381
6. John LIVINGSTON Burgess of Stirling
7. John LIVINGSTON claimant to Terrintirran
5. Alexander LIVINGSTON of Callendar - Regent of Scotland 1437 –
born before 1381 - assumed to have died in the early 1450's - when King James
II did his 45 day blitzkrig purge of the LIVINGSTON and associated nobles
Which brought about the death of Robert LIVINGSTON (not sure which Robert –
there was a Robert, brother of Alexander LIVINGSTON of Callendar and
there was also one descended several generations down from William de
LIVINGSTON, or could have been another Robert??) and Alexander
LIVINGSTON of Phildes via hanging and beheading on Castle Hill in Edinburgh
on January 21-22, 1449/50 - at this time Alexander LIVINGSTON of Callendar
was in England on a diplomatic mission for King James II. Upon his return
to Scotland, Alexander LIVINGSTON of Callendar was arrested and imprisoned
in Dumbarton Castle - where the others arrested were still being held
captive. Alexander LIVINGSTON of Callendar seems to have been released
within the year of his imprisonment, but apparently he had lost all heart
or drive and little more was really heard from him. He was over 70 by then
and apparently just faded away and died not long afterward
6. James LIVINGSTON First Lord LIVINGSTON, of Callendar
6. Alexander LIVINGSTON of Phildes died via beheading on
Castle Hill in Edinburgh on January 21-22, 1449/50 (The year by current

Abigail LIVINGSTON
James LIVINGSTON

1606: King James granted a joint charter to two companies to settle Virginia.
One of the original investors in the London Company, which was authorized to
settle southern Virginia, was Sir John Levison (LIVINGSTON).

1633: On June 3, King James granted 1/5 of marsh of Sir Henry Watton and Sir
Edward Dymock to Sir John LIVINGSTONe (Virginia Settlers and English
Adventurers by Noel Currer-Spriggs).

1641: On May 9, there was a lawsuit involving Sutton Marsh, William Wise,
3,500 acres and Sir James LIVINGSTONe.

1650: In December, Wingfield Webb & Richard Pate transported 23 persons into
tidewater Virginia. One passenger was John LIVINGSTON. They gave him 2
receipts for which they had not collected headrights. A headright consisted
of 50 acres. They were given a headright for each person they brought into
Virginia. (Nell Marion Nugent, Cavaliers and Pioneers, Vol. I, p. 204)

1650: The population of Virginia was estimated at 20,000.

1652~1654: John LIVINGSTON (2) was born in New Kent County (later King &
Queen County in 1691).

1653: John LIVINGSTON was granted 400 acres on west side of Poropotank Creek
behind the land of John Thomas. (Old New Kent County, footnote 14, page 271)
(Land patent book no. 3, page 277)


1653: John transported 6 persons (Anne Silke, Jno Backster, Barbary Scott,
Ralph Bottock, James ______, Joane _____, Rose Allen and William Lamb) and
added to the 2 receipts from Webb & Pate, he was able to acquire 400 acres.
John found an ideal location - by water. There was access to the Chesapeake
Bay and all the great rivers that gave ingress to the inland ports of
Virginia. Down the coastline was Jamaica with its lucrative trade in
sugar and rum. One had only to sail around the southern tip of Maryland
to head for the northern markets and the wide Hudson with its prosperous
harbor. (The LIVINGSTONs of Virginia, compiled by Lucille Barco Coone)

1654: New Kent County was created. The sliver of land on the northwest banks
of Poropotank Creek (where the LIVINGSTONs settled) was a part of York
County. New Kent was created mostly out of York County, but had that sliver
of land formerly in Gloucester County (with the LIVINGSTON plantation)
included in what lands it got. (Gloucester County Deed Records(Morgan
Poitiaux Robinson, 'Virginia Counties: Those Resulting from Virginia
Legislation', copyright 1992 by Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc.,
Baltimore, Maryland)(Originally published in 'The Bulletin of the Virginia
State Library, vol. 9, January-April 1916, issues 2 & 3)

1660: Charles II comes to power in England with the overthrow of Cromwell.
British arliament promptly passes new Navigation Act requiring all Virginia
trade to pass through English ports with payment of high duties. The move
ruins the tobacco trade.

1664: John transported 2 more people to add 50 acres adjacent to the 400 he
already had. (Nugent, vol. 1, p. 507)

1664: John LIVINGSTON added another 452~453 acres to his first tract. This
land of LIVINGSTON's was stated to be three miles from the York River. (Old
New Kent County, page 271, 271) Land patent book no. 5, page 348: John Leviston,
453 acres, New Kent County, 30 August 1664 on the northwest side of Poropotank
Creek adjoining Ty Thomas' land running southwest by south & _____ to Timothy
Lond Dell's (Lowdell) land and 400 acres granted him 16 December 1653, and 53
acres for transporting two persons: Joane Brown and Henry Prat. (Footnote 15,
Old New Kent County, page 272)

1669: John's patent: "Mr. John Leviston 780 acres New Kent County 5 November,
1669. Three hundred eight acres on the northeast side and near the road to the
mill adjacent Mr. John Lewis to Cattail Branch, a branch of Mattasup Creek
Swamp and adjacent land where sd Leviston now liveth, crossing the path to
the church, etc. Four hundred acres was granted him 16 December 1653, and
three hundred eighty acres for the transporting of eight persons, John Freegrave,
George Hunt, Abra. Mayes, Wm. Turner, Jone Wilkins, Peter Arrowes,
Mary Wise, Jno Neaves." (Nugent, vol. II, p. 67, patent book 6, p. 263)

1670: The population of Virginia was estimated to be 40,000 about double the
amount listed for 1650.

1670: On 21 June, John Leviston (LIVINGSTON) was appointed with John Harwell
and Captain Wm. Jones to appraise the estate of Richard Roberts. (Minutes of
the Council and General Court of Colonial Virginia, page 233A - Gloucester Court)

1716: The road which turns off to the left, coming up the county, at Plainview,
leads to the plantations which were along Poropotank Creek. This road was close
to the line of the Lewis Plantation in 1716. The straight road that continues
to the creek bisects a tract which was owned by the Andersons. This land was
bought of John Beverly Whiting, from the early Lewis plantation, from the
LIVINGSTONs and Carys. John LIVINGSTON had been in Virginia but a short time
when he had possession of this land, for his name appears as a headright of
Richard Pate in 1650. (Old New Kent County, Vol. I, page 271)

1693: April 29, John William of King and Queen County petitioned for 710 acres
escheated land on north side of York River near Poropotank Creek, adjoining

Vol. 27, p. 6, Beverly Fleet)

1699: The College of William and Mary was founded at Middle Plantation
(Williamsburg). The seat of government was moved to Middle Plantation.

1704: Quit Rent rolls for King & Queen County list Sam'l LIVINGSTON and John
LIVINGSTON. (Quit Rent Rolls of Virginia, Annie Smith, Lawrie Wright, 1704)

Few King and Queen County records exist today. All that remains of this
burned county, ravaged by two wars, are a few records collected by Beverley
Fleet many years ago, the Quit Rent Rolls of 1704, the priceless abstracts
of land patents compiled by Nell Nugent, and the valuable Vestry Book of
Stratton Major Parish, transcribed and edited by C. G. Chamberlayne in 1931.
(The LIVINGSTONs of Virginia, compiled by Lucille Barco Coone)

1704: John LIVINGSTON was charged with two tracts: one of 600 acres and one
of 750 acres, which he had bought of Sowell. The lines of the Lewis land
given in his patent for 1664 fixes the LIVINGSTON land next to Lewis, on
Poropotank Creek. (Old New Kent County, page 272)

1713: The first John LIVINGSTON, who came into Poropotank Creek area in 1650,
was the father of the second John LIVINGSTON, who had become senior in 1713,
allowing for the usual life span of a generation at this time.
(Old New Kent County, page 272)

1713: John LIVINGSTON Sr. conveyed to John LIVINGSTON Jr. 400 acres on
Poropotank Creek, and the deed was witnessed by Samuel LIVINGSTON and
"sealed with a coronet in red wax." (A History of Two Virginia Families,

3. John LIVINGSTON (1688-1761)
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Born about 1688 in King & Queen County, Virginia.
Died about 1761 in King & Queen County, Virginia.
Parents: John LIVINGSTON and unknown
Married: Margaret Todd (daughter of William Todd) in Gloucester County, Virginia.
Children:
4. Cornelius LIVINGSTON
Born approx. 1710 - King & Queen County, Virginia. Died by 1740.
William Todd LIVINGSTON
Born 1714 - King & Queen County, Virginia.
Died April 1778 - Washington County, Virginia.
John LIVINGSTON
Born approx. 1716 - King & Queen County, Virginia.
Died 1752 - Jamaica, West Indies, in a shipwreck.
George LIVINGSTON
Born approx. 1718 - King & Queen County, Virginia.
William LIVINGSTON
Born approx. 1722 - King & Queen County, Virginia.

1713: John LIVINGSTON deeds his home place of 400 acres to his son, also
John LIVINGSTON. The deed refers to the two as "the elder" and "the younger".
Deed was signed in presence of John Lewis, James Muir, Samuel LIVINGSTON.
It was acknowledged at court by John the elder in King & Queen County,
January 25, 1713. Deed was in possession of Mrs. William Carter Stubbs in
1909. (Richmond Times-Dispatch, August 8, 1909)

1718: On October 24th John LIVINGSTON Jr. (the third John LIVINGSTON)
petitions the Lt. Governor for 300 acres of land in King & Queen County
that is escheating to the crown due to lack of heirs in an estate. (Vol. VI,
Virginia Colonial Abstracts, Beverley Fleet). In the foregoing document the
petitioner signed his name as "Jno Levingston Jun'r", indicating probably
that John Sr. was still alive at this point.

1724: John witnessed the will of Ann Anderson of Christ Church in Parish,
Middlesex, on the 27th of April.

1731: John LIVINGSTON is elected a vestryman of Anglican Church, Stratton
Major Parish, King & Queen County. There are mentions over the years of
vestry meetings at the glebe. Research shows that in early Virginia
glebes were combination buildings usually providing quarters for the
minister and often what today would be called a social hall. They were
always separate from the church building, which was reserved for worship.

1735: "It's ordered yt: Mr. Richd Anderson, Mr. Jno. LIVINGSTON & Jno
Shackelford do meet on ye: first Monday in October next and go in
procession of and see all and every persons land between Portopotank
Creek and Matasip Swamp plainly mark'd continuing their proceedings in

1739: In December John Robinson and John LIVINGSTON, as Church Wardens of
Stratton Major Parish, had to travel to Caroline County to sue a member
of their own parish who had left without paying her tithes. (Dorman, Caroline
County, Virginia Order Book, p 73, part 3)

1743: John purchased from John Townley and Townley's wife, Sarah, all of
Stratton Major Parish, 250 acres of land on the Poropotank Creek. The deed
was witnessed by two of his sons, William Todd and George. "Old Family
papers at Valley Front" Deed of John Townley to John LIVINGSTON, 1743;
land adjoining David Weddeerburn. Deed made in Williamsburg and approved
by the General Court: 250 acres for 8 pounds. Witnessed by A. Shackelford,
George LIVINGSTON and William Todd LIVINGSTON. Teste: Ben Waller, C.D.
(Stubbs, Two Virginia Families)

1743: John LIVINGSTON and wife, Margaret (said to be the former Margaret
Todd, daughter of William Todd, living in King & Queen County in 1722, but
more likely the daughter of Thomas Todd and Betty Waring, parents of William,
living in King & Queen County in 1745). Both die, perhaps only days or weeks
apart. In the same year son, Thomas LIVINGSTON of Caroline County, Virginia,
also dies. Hugh LIVINGSTON was the administrator of Margaret LIVINGSTON's
estate in Essex and King & Queen Counties. The court questioned his right to
settle the estate. (From information compiled by Dr. LIVINGSTON-Little and
Lucille Coone)

1745: There is a deed of Zachariah Shackelford to John Shackelford, both of
Stratton Major Parish, of 589 acres in Raleigh Parish, Amelia County. John
LIVINGSTON, Thomas Sewell, John Abbott, and George Pigg witnessed the deed.
(Beverley Fleet, Va. Col. Abs. Vol. 28, K & Q, p 35. Deed Book 2, Amelia
County)

1762: There are frequent mentions of John LIVINGSTON in the vestry book of
Stratton Major Parish between 1731, when he was elected a vestryman, and
when he was replaced because of his death in 1761. John LIVINGSTON's name
was shown as being present on the 24th of November 1760. (The vestry did
not meet in 1761) He was replaced on the vestry at the February meeting 1762.
(Could this have been John's son, John?) Mr. Robinson, the minister, kept
the minutes until the 4th of October 1765 when John Robinson (no kin) was
appointed to be Clerk. Some records say John LIVINGSTON died around 1761.
It wasn't his son that was present in the November 24, 1760 meeting as he
had died in a shipwreck near Jamaica in 1752. Therefore, the elder John was
probably present at the meeting and died in 1761. Any confusion is probably
due to his son John dying before him in the shipwreck.

1756: Caroline County, Virginia Order Books give the names of Thomas
LIVINGSTON and William Bowler as co-defendants in 1756 lawsuits, and between
two entries given on June 13, 1756, both relating to William Bowler, the name
of Samuel Taliaferro has been scratched in, without explanantion.

1761: Thomas the elder died between May 18, 1761 and June 10, 1761 per "The
LIVINGSTONs of Virginia" by Lucille Barco Coones

Thomas LIVINGSTON was the youngest of three boys orphaned when their father
died in Caroline County in 1761 (Essex Co. O.B. 1759-1761, p. 306. 16 June 1761.)

1762: On the 12th of March, 1762, the Caroline County Court appointed William
Bowler, Gent., guardian of James Todd LIVINGSTON, Robert LIVINGSTON and
Thomas LIVINGSTON, orphans of Thomas LIVINGSTON deceased and
acknowledged a bond for the same. (Caroline Co. Order Book 1759-1763, p. 275).
(Essex Co. O.B. 1759-1761, p. 306. 16 June 1761.) Why is the daughter not included?
Did she exist, or did someone else take her?

1793: Lewis Sanders' mention of the LIVINGSTONs who moved to South Carolina
in confirmed in The William and Mary Quarterly, Vol. 22, first series, page
69, which has some notes on Virginia LIVINGSTON families, mentioning a James
and Thomas LIVINGSTON who had moved to Edgefield County, South Carolina in
1793. And William Crozier's VIRGINIA COUNTY RECORDS, Spotsylvania
County, 1721-1800 also confirms this, noting they were living in Edgefield County,
South Carolina in 1796 when they gave Benjamin Wharton their
powers-of-attorney. A July 6, 1796 power of attorney shows a Benjamin Wharton
was the son of "V. Long Wharton."

There is a reference to a "Taliaferro LIVINGSTON" in Louis C. Barfield's
HISTORY OF HARRIS COUNTY GEORGIA (1961). He was a descendant of
James LIVINGSTON, the son of Nancy Taliaferro and Thomas LIVINGSTON.
One of his daughters married Seaborn Jones Whatley, and there is a considerable
amount of data about the Whatley family in Mrs. Barfield's book. Thomas
LIVINGSTON and his wife Nancy had sons James Todd and Thomas which both
had sons named Taliaferro LIVINGSTON, and that the younger Thomas's son was
a lawyer in South Carolina.

James Todd LIVINGSTON was a Revolutionary war soldier

James Todd LIVINGSTON had a son, John LIVINGSTON, who settled near Hamilton,
Georgia.

1812: Will of James Todd LIVINGSTON - James Todd LIVINGSTON wrote his will on
the 18th of December 1812, and it was proved 24 December 1813.

Dunadry, near Belfast, Ireland
24t October 1848

Rev. T. L. MCBRYDE,

My dear son:
Under Divine Goodness, mercy, and care I arrived at Liverpool after the
remarkable short passage of three weeks and two days, and I wrote a few
lines from thence to son James. On the 14 inst. I arrived at the place of
my nativity and where were the seanes odf my childhood and youth. I found
my aged mother and brother and sister, all in good health. My sister
(Catherine) has been married to Robert Stevenson some few years. and they
have three children, a daughter, Mary, and two sons, Andrew and John. they
are living on my cousin John's place. My cousin John is a widower with a son
and daughter aged from 12 to 14 years. It is remarkable that before he received
my letter mentioning to him my intentions, he had fully determined to sell his
farm and emigrate to the United States; and in consequence of my proposed coming
hither, delayed offering for sale untill my arrival, that we might sell our
possessions together, which will be of advantage to both. We expectt to sell for
considerably more price than I hadd been offered by the person who wrote to me
before I left home. I have another cousin who proposed to sell his farm also
and emigrate and all of them intend coming with me, as well as my brother
--------------. I have received a letter from Aberrdeen and I intend to start
for Scotland in a week or two. The property will be advertised for sale in the
newspapers of Belfast, and in my absence my cousin John MCBRYDE will attend to
our business. My coming heere was undispensabley neccessary. Indeed the whole
matter seems to have been under direction from on High! I affectionately send
my love to Mary and "the little ones" and to sister Jane. And I pray that the
blessings of God may be vouchsafed to you and abide with you all for the Lord
Jesus Christ's sake; Amen.

Your Affte Father
John MCBRYDE

Add: If you receive this about December 1st, I hope you will write to me, and
let me know whether you have determined to buy that farm and anything else you
can say---------- and as I am a "Squire" at home------- address letters--------
John MCBRYDE Jr., Esq. Dunadry, Belfast, Ireland.

Seminary at Columbus, S.C.

The History of Bartow County,GA; by Lucy Josephine Cunyus - 975.81 States:
Rev. Thomas LIVINGSTON MCBRYDE married Mary Williamson MCCLESKEY
in Athens, Ga. on 24, Oct 1839. He was a missionary to China from 1840 to 1843.
T. L. MCBRYDE, D. D., was the founder and, from June 1842 through January 1843,
director of the mission of the American Presbyterian Board at Amoy, China. The
family was shipwrecked for eight months on the return trip before arriving safely
in New York. Daughter Lucy was born during the trip home. Sarah, who was born in
Macao, China, was about 2 at the time.
In 1862 he was a resident of Pendleton, South Carolina, and president of the local
bible Society. He died on 15 April 1863 and is buried at the Old Stone Presbyterian
Church Cemetery, Pickens County, South Carolina.

The following is a transcription of the 1894 biography of John Van Nest Talmage,
who was a missionary to Amoy (Xiamen) China from 1847 to 1890. He was the brother
of Thomas DeWitt Talmage, who was one of the foremost preachers of his day.
He was also the great-great-great-grandfather of David Newman.

"Mr. Boone, of the Episcopal Church of the United States, was at Amoy but a short
time. After him there have been no missionaries of that church at Amoy. The mission
of the American Presbyterian Board at Amoy was commenced by the arrival of Rev.
T. L. MCBRYDE, in June, 1842. He left Amoy in January, 1843. James C. Hepburn,
M.D., arrived in 1843, and retired in 1845. Rev. John Lloyd arrived in Dec., 1844. Rev.
H. A. Brown arrived in 1845 and left Amoy for the United States in Dec., 1847. Mr.
Lloyd died in Dec., 1848. Since then that mission has not been continued at Amoy.

Presbyterian Church in the Confederate States of America. General Assembly.

VII. SYNOD OF SOUTH CAROLINA. Bethel, J. M. Anderson, Charleston, A. A.
Porter, J. L. Girardeau, Harmony, Gilbert Morgan, J. R. Aiken, Charlton H. Wilson,
South Carolina, J. O. Lindsay, James Gillam, T. L. MCBRYDE, D. D.

On motion of Rev. Dr. MCBRYDE, the Assembly proceeded to the election of officers,
when Rev. J. L. Kirkpatrick, D. D. was unanimously elected Moderator, and the Rev.
T. L. MCBRYDE, D. D. was unanimously elected Temporary Clerk. Mr. A. B. Cooper
moved that the subject of obtaining a Charter be referred to the Judicial
Committee; when, on motion of Dr. MCBRYDE, this motion was laid upon the table
for the purpose of allowing him to offer the following substitute:

Inasmuch as it is ascertained that difficulties lie in the way of obtaining
Charters for the Board of Trustees in the several States, as contemplated by
the last General Assembly, and only one report has been received by the Committees
appointed to procure said charters, therefore be it Resolved, That said Committees
be requested to investigate the matter thoroughly and report to the next Assembly.

This substitute was, on motion of Dr. Baird, referred to a special committee. The
Moderator appointed upon this Committee, Dr. Leyburn, Dr. Baird, Dr. MCBRYDE,
W. W. Pharr, A. B. Cooper, E. Phlegar, R. A. Ware, N. S. Graham.

The Special Committee appointed to consider the substitute offered by Dr. MCBRYDE
to the motion of Mr. A. B. Cooper, touching the subject of Charters, reported the
following resolution which was adopted:

Resolved, That a Committee of five be appointed, whose duty it shall be to secure
all necessary information as to the forms of Charters, and the conditions of
securing them in the several States where they may be required, and report
the same to the next General Assembly; and also that the Committee appointed
by the last Assembly be requested to report the result of their efforts to this
Committee.

This is the excerpt from the Diary of Lucy N. MCBRYDE:

First I was Born on the Atlantic Ocean, frightened into the world by a storm in
the Gulf Stream not very far from the city of New York. My parents had gone to
China as missionaries and were coming home on account of the failing health
of my Father. I have sometimes thought that perhaps this stormy birth may
have had something to do with my stormy life. Our eldest Sister (Sarah Boone)
was born in Macao (China); and she always insisted that she remembered her first
ride through New York, when she called out with delight the letters on the sign
boards. But Mother thought she only remembered hearing her tell of it as she was
only nineteen months old at the time. I was a tiny baby and slept in a rocking
chair for several weeks. A Mrs. Doremas made some tiny cloths (sic) for me and
for a long time they were kept as a curiosity; but were lost at last. I do not
know how long we stayed in New York, but am pretty sure that Anderson, S.C.
was the first place we lived in after the return from China. There Johnnie was
born, and as we did not stay there long I remember nothing of it.

We lived in three different places in Abbeyville, S.C. district. Lowndsville,
Monterey and The Forks. I do not remember the order in which they came, but I
know that we did live in Lowndsville before The Forks from one little incident
that happened at the latter place. One Saturday, when Father and Mother were
particularly busy, and we children were very troublesome, Father told us to
get out of the way and Sister asked him if we could go to Lowndsville, a visit
to that place being always the height of happiness.

Thomas LIVINGSTON MCBRYDE Rev. was born Feb 23, 1817 in Cambridge, SC.
He died Apr 15, 1863 in Pendleton, Anderson Co, SC and was buried in Old
Stone Presbyterian Church, Anderson Co, SC. Thomas married Mary Williamson
MCCLESKEY on 24 Oct 1839 in Athens, CLARKe Co, GA.

History of Old Pendleton District, by R. W. Simpson, p. 121. " Rev Thomas L.
MCBRYDE son of John and Lucy LIVINGSTON MCBRYDE, graduated at the
University of Georgia and at the Theological Seminary at Columbus, S.C. Married
Mary Williamson McClerky (MCCLESKEY is the correct spelling). Soon after his
marriage he and his wife went as missionaries to China in 1840. After three years
they had to return due to poor health of Mr. MCBRYDE. Mr. MCBRYDE and his
devoted wife spent their lives doing good and were loved and respected as are
but few in this world. He and his wife are buried at the Old Stone Church. He left
surviving him nine children."

Book The Old Stone Church, 1972 states: The marble shaft marks the grave
of Rev. Dr. T. L. MCBRYDE. On the four sides of the shaft are the following
inscriptions: (East side) In memory of Rev. T. L. MCBRYDE, D.D., Born February
25, 1817. Died April 15, 1863. (West Side) "A preacher of righteousness".
As a Pastor he beautifully exemplified all the Christian Virtues inculcated by
his Lord and Master. In the domestic circle he was the devoted husband, the
affectionate Father, and ever sympathizing friend. (North side) The early bloom
of his manhood was dedicated to the Missionary field of China. From October,
1852, until the close of his life, he was faithful, beloved Pastor of Hopewell Church,
Pendleton. (The book states, when people heard about the passing of Thomas
MCBRYDE, many traveled all night to pay their respects to this beloved pastor)

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

In his Rev War pension application, Joseph states that he was born and raised in
Abeville, SC. The following discusses the state of affairs in that area in the
1750's and 1760's:

After the founding of Charles Towne (near the present city of Charleston, S.C.)
late in the 17th Century, trade and commerce increased between coastal residents
and Indians of the interior. The Cherokee Path was a primary trade route between
Charles Towne and the inland Indian villages, but a number of the paths across
South Carolina intersected at Ninety Six. The name "Ninety Six" came from an
estimate that the site lay ninety six miles down the Cherokee Path from Keowee,
a major Indian town in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Because of the
intersecting paths and its convenience as a stop-over point, the area became a
hub for trading many goods and services. Leather and pelts were the principal
interest of white traders and were purchased from Indians and white hunters and
trappers in exchange for guns, powder, rum and other supplies.

One of the most successful white traders was a businessman named Robert Gouedy
who established a trading post in the area about 1751. Gouedy prospered here and
expanded his commercial enterprises to include money-lending and farming. By the
time he died in 1775, Gouedy owned over 1500 acres in the area, and almost 500
people owed him money.

The base of support offered by Gouedy's enterprises and the stores of other
tradesmen in the area along with reliable water and fertile bottomlands gave
rise to increasing settlement here. At first the Ninety Six community was a
scattering of homes for several miles around, but by the mid-1750's, blacksmith
shops and flour mills had complemented existing development.

White settlement around Ninety Six was on the rise, but friction with the Indians
also increased. For a decade, Indian attacks were common throughout South Carolina,
and settlers sought refuge in frontier forts. Fort Ninety Six was an example and
was built around Robert Gouedy's barn. During the Cherokee War, over 200
Cherokees unsuccessfully attacked this fort in March, 1760. Finally, a treaty was
signed with the Indians in 1761. According to the treaty, no Indian could travel below
Keowee without permission, and the Indian's hunting privileges were also largely
surrendered.

A resurgence in settlement in the Ninety Six area followed peace with the
Cherokees, and as population increased, demands for schools, churches, good
roads and law enforcement arose. With no police, outlaws preyed on local residents.
Vigilante groups formed to provide protection. But the justice of these vigilantes
was often severe, and the colonial government finally provided the backcountry
with law enforcement authority in 1769. This took the form of courthouses and
jails to be built in each of seven judicial districts. The law authorizing these
structures in the Ninety Six District specified that the buildings be "within
one mile" of Fort Ninety Six. They actually were finished in 1772 about one-half
mile north of Fort Ninety Six and Gouedy Trading Post. Robert Gouedy was able
to enjoy the benefits of law enforcement authority without his clientele being
intimidated by having a sheriff, jail and courthouse directly across the street
from the Gouedy Trading Post.

The courthouse and jail provided a focus for more development, and the village
of Ninety Six began to evolve. On the eve of the American Revolution, Ninety
Six Village contained at least a dozen buildings (courthouse, jail, homes,
blacksmith shop) and was the new center of activity in the area.
Married by James Lusk, an acting Justice of the Peace.

Revolutionary War veteran James MCCLESKEY also lived in Hall Co, GA at this
time. His son, David Henderson MCCLESKEY is a clerk of the court. David Green
MCCLESKEY is a Justice of the Peace.

When Joseph MCCLESKEY makes his application for Revolutionary War pension,
he mentions an older brother in South Carolina.

Who is the following DAVID MCCLESKEY? I have put this on George's notes
because grandson Eusebious married a Shropshire. It is not David Green, he
was too young in 1793 to have made the original note.

Isabelle J JORDAN (1750-1821)
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Isabelle J JORDAN was born 1750 in Ireland. She died 1821 in Hall Co, GA.
Isabelle married George MCCLESKEY about 1775 in SC.

They had the following children:
George Willis MCCLESKEY was born 1775-1794.
4. Benjamin MCCLESKEY was born 7 Sep 1777 and died 7 Sep 1856.
Rhoda MCCLESKEY was born 1780-1790 and died after 1830.
David Green MCCLESKEY was born 1781 and died 1852.

1767: Arriving on the Nancy, Charleston Harbour in 1767 were the following
passengers bound for the Long Canes;

Martha (Parker) Jordan, age 41 [b.c.1726] granted 200 acres
Jane Jordan, age 19, granted 100 acres
Isabelle Jordan, age 17, granted 100 acres
Thomas Jordan, age 15, granted 100 acres
Elizabeth Jordan, age 13
Margaret Jordan, age 12

Thomas Jordan's grant was between present day Verdery and Cedar Spring
Church where he is probably buried. 3 of Thomas's sons are on the 1850
Abbeville census, Barty, Jonathan & Samuel.

Another son, Alexander took a family bible to Mississippi with him which
mentions the above 5 kids:

Thomas married Miss Eleanor Weems
one girl (Isabelle) married Mr. MCCLESKEY
one girl married Mr. Hugh Henry
one girl married Mr. Weems
one girl married Mr. Hutchinson
one girl married Mr. McCown

1780: Julius Bates was born June 3, 1780, and according to census records his
birthplace is listed as both South Carolina and North Carolina. His parentage
has not been proven, and there is a family lore story that has been around for
many years that one of the Bates ancestors came from Wales when he was 14 years
old. Two of Julius Bates' siblings have been proven. They are a brother John
Bates, who later became a Georgia State Senator and a Major General in the
Georgia Militia, and a sister Elizabeth Bates who later married Thomas Jackson.
Julius married Miss Temperence West about 1802 in South Carolina. She was born
August 21, 1784, in North Carolina according to census records, and her
parentage has not been proven.

1787: From Jackson County, (GA), records: Book F, Page 140--Thomas Johnson
sells to Julious Bates and Isabel Mccleskey for the sum of $280.00 a tract
of land containing 287-1/2 acres on the waters of the North Oconee originally
granted to James Parsons 3 Oct 1787. Wit: John Green*, Edward Adams, Jos.
Little J.P.

1790: Abbeville, SC census - Isabel MCCLESKEY,1 male +16,1 male -16,2 females

1802: Julius Bates appears only once in the record books of Greenville, South
Carolina, as a witness to land sales, Books A-F, in 1802. John Bates buys 100
acres of land on November 17, 1800, from James Bates for $300. Although not
proven, James Bates is much more than likely to be a relative. At this time,
no other records have been found about Julius or Elizabeth, but there is a
record of their brother John Bates marrying Barbary Crenshaw in 1803, in
Greenville, South Carolina. Although not proven, the 1800 Greenville Census
lists a James Bates with two sons and a daughter, with the right sexes and ages
for John, Julius, and Elizabeth. In the 1810 Census for Greenville County, South
Carolina, there is a J. Bates, John Bates, and a James Bates listed.

1809: Julius Bates first appears in Georgia, in Jackson County, for the years
1809, 1810, and 1811, on the tax rolls as a tax defaulter. Julius also buys a
female slave in Jackson County, Georgia, named Prudence in 1813, for $125.
Julius Bates and Isabel MCCLESKEY buy 164 acres on the North Fork of the Oconee
River for $280, on December 2, 1814, Jackson County, Deeds and Mortgages,
Book F, page 140. This land lay within the area later cut off for Hall County in 1818.
The tax records for Jackson County for 1815-1816, have mostly been lost, and those
that remain are largely illegible. It is unknown the exact date when Julius, Temperence
and their family moved from South Carolina to Jackson County, Georgia, but they were
there by the time their seventh child was born in 1816. William Bates was born February
15, 1816, in Jackson County, Georgia, and later became a Baptist preacher. Julius' brother John sold his 100 acres in Greenville, South Carolina, on February 14, 1815, to Jacob Dillinger of North Carolina for $550, and his first deed of record in Jackson County appears in 1817. Joseph Wilson to John Bates, 143/ acres on the North Fork of the Oconee River for $250, Deed Book F, page 395, dated April 5, 1817.

1816: In Jackson Co, GA, Tax List, Benjamin and David G. MCCLESKEY "gave in"
tax as agent for I. MCCLESKEY.

1817: From Jackson County records, Page 282: Issabelle J. MCCLESKEY deeded to
Julious Bates her share of the above land. Wit: John Bates, David G. MCCLESKEY,
Wm. H. Dickson J.P., Recorded 22 Jan 1817.

1818: Hall County was formed, and the part of Jackson County where they lived
became Hall County, and all three of the Bates siblings and their families were
living there and were enumerated on the 1820 and 1830 censuses. Isabel MCCLESKEY
was living next door to Julius on the 1820 census, and died sometime shortly after
that. In 1823, Julius buys her half of the land they purchased together in 1814,
from her three sons all with MCCLESKEY surnames. Isabel is old enough to be his
mother, an aunt, or a mother-in law, but whatever the relationship, she was surely
related or they would not be buying land together. On May 4, 1821, Julius receives
a land grant for 250 acres in Early County, Georgia, from the Governor of Georgia,
John CLARK, for his service in "Dickson's Battalion." Since the deed states "Julius
Bates of Jackson County, Georgia," it is clear that this service was prior to 1818, it
appears this grant was for his service in the Georgia Militia. Julius and Temperence
raised thirteen children, three daughters and ten sons, the last child, Thomas Kimsey
Bates was born in 1828.

1832: Sometime between 1832 and 1834, Julius Bates and his family moved to
Murray County, Georgia, which was formed from the final Cherokee land lottery
in 1832. It is unknown how many draws or how much land Julius and his sons
received, in the land grants of 1832. The original home built by Julius and
his sons is still standing, although it has been modified and a second story
and rooms added, the original two rooms with the dog run in the center between
them, and the two original fireplaces are still there, and it remains today the
oldest standing structure in the area.

DAR has placed a Revolutionary War Soldier marker at the burial site of John
Williamson. Directions to the cemetery are from GA 36 at the traffic light
where Burger King, CVS Pharmacy, KFC and and ice cream shop are located:

Take GA 36 3.6 miles to Fincherville Rd. Bear left at the fork and follow
4.2 miles to Jack Maddox Bridge Rd (well marked dirt road). Turn right a
nd go 1.1 miles on this road. The cemetery is 225 ft. in the woods on the right.
The dirt road is really bad after a rain. At about 1.1 miles you will be at
the bottom of a slight incline with a really muddy hole in the middle of the
road. Go on up to the top of the incline just before the bend in the road and
stop. You will have to walk up another incline to the right to reach the cemetery.
There are lots of briars but it is kept at bay by a relative in the area.

ELAM ORIGINS

ELAM motto: Nec sperno nec timeo translated as "I neither despise nor fear"

The ELAM family in England was originally from Kent county, in the
southeastern part of the country. The name ELAM is English and is derived
from Elham, a village near Canterbury in Kent county. Elham is probably
a contraction of Elmham, meaning a village of elms,and residents of
that community first bore the name elham which afterwards became ELAM.

The ELAMs in England belonged to the gentry as distinguished from the
nobility. The first known ELAM lived in 1273. The family later lived in
Kent, Suffolk, Somerset, Lancashire, Yorkshire, and elsewhere in England.

HATCHER ORIGINS

The Anglo-Saxon name HATCHER was established when the family resided
near a hatch or gate which in most cases led to a forest, but occasionally
led to a sluice. Firs found in Lincolnshire where they were anciently
seated as Lords of the Manor of Carby from very acient times some say
before the Norman Conquest by Duke William of Normandy in 1066 A.D.

It is commonly believed that William HATCHER descended from the Careby
HATCHERs of Lincolnshire, England, and many books and family trees
record this belief, some claiming his father to be a Thomas HATCHER,
others claiming William HATCHER.

After more than 10 years of researching the English records and
documents, Emory HATCHER, through a professional British genealogist,
has disproved all possible HATCHER males of the Careby HATCHERs as the
father of William with one exception. One Henry HATCHER simply disappears
from the records after 1599. There is no evidence that this Henry is
William's father, but because of the lack of records simply cannot be
completely eliminated as a possibility.

Another source of controversy is the name of William's wife. She has
been recorded as Alice Emmerton, Mary, Sarah, Mary Sarah Smith, and
Marion Newport. There has been no evidence found to my knowledge
proving the name of William's wife. In June 1999 the Jamestown Society
accepted the thesis of Jerry Proudfit of Atlanta, GA, that William was
not married when he arrived in this country. His argument was based on
the fact that had William arrived with a wife and child, Edward, who is
believed to have been born in England c1633, William would have claimed
an additional 100 acres for importing his wife and child. He did not do
this. This is the basis for correcting Edward's likely birthdate to 1637.

1636: Virginia Land Patent Book No 1, Part 1, p 40: 1 June 1636:
William HATCHER is granted 200 ac Henrico Co on Appomatuck River "near
to the land of Elizabeth Warde, widow", 50 for his personal adventures
and 150 for transporting 3 persons including himself. Near to the land
of Pearse and Mary Box.

1637: From "Early Virginia Immigrants, 1623-1666". These 3 importees were
Alice Emmerton, Richard Radford, and John Winchester. And in 1637 William
again imported 3 people: Benjamin Gregory, Thomas Browne, and Charles Howell.

1661: The following is the only record found to date that seems to prove
the existence of William, Jr. What is puzzling though, is that this land
was purchased by William, Jr and Henry in 1661 indicating that both were
born before 1640.

Valentine Papers (Virginia), Vol. 1-4, 1864-1908

Nathaniel Bacon Esq. decd. of Curles in Henrico Parish and Co. Thos.
Jarvis, of Kignotang, Elizabeth City Co., Gent. who married the Relict
of and is Trustee of the estate of said Bacon. deed from Edward HATCHER.
Consideration 1100 pds. of Tobacco paid by said Bacon decd. to sd.
HATCHER. 50 acres in Varina adjoining land formerly belonging to the
widow Parker, now in possession of Wm. Byrd, Esq. and is part of a
dividend of 200 acres formerly belonging to William Dawkes, being purchased of
Robert Bullington and Henry Rowing and Alice, his wife, by Wm. HATCHER Jr.
and Henry HATCHER by two conveyances Feb. 1, 1661, and conveyed
by Henry HATCHER to Edward HATCHER Aug. 20, 1667. Mary, wife of
said Edward HATCHER, relinquishes her dower. Recorded-April 1, 1694.

We currently show Edward born c1637, William born c1639, and Jane born
c1640. If we now give Henry a birth date of before 1640, we would have
a number of children born in a very tight time span. It is of course
possible that William arrived here earlier than the assumed 1635 and
that he may have been born a few years earlier than 1613.

Based on the above deed, it seems likely that Edward was born c1636,
William c1638, and Henry c1639, and Jane c1641.

1636: William HATCHER came into this country about 1635 and figured
conspicuously as a resident of Henrico. On June 1 1636 he received a patent
for land for the importation of himself and three others into the colony.
In the land grant office in Richmond are recorded the several grants of
land issued to this William HATCHER, in Book 1, page 433, 850 acres;
Book 1, page 559, 150 acres; Book 6 page 529, 227 acres.

1637: William received several grants for land. From "Cavaliers and Pioneers,
Abstracts of Virginia Land Patents and Grants", by Nell Marion Nugent,
Vol 1; Virginia State Library and Archives, Richmond 1992: Patent Book
1, Part 1, page 433, July 10, 1637 shows 850 acres; Book 1, Part 2,
page 559, May 29, 1638 shows 150 acres for transporting 3 persons;

1644: In their beginnings in Henrico, the HATCHERs...were very well to
do people. William HATCHER, the immigrant became a member of the House of
Burgesses from the County of Henrico and served in that capacity in 1644,
1645, 1646, 1649, and 1652. Colonial Virginia Register, p. 65; 5 V. 98.

"A Little Parliament, The Virginia General Assembly in the Seventeenth
Century", Library of Virginia, 2004, Warren M. Billings [citing
"Journals of the House of Burgesses, 1619-1658, p. 59 and 93] says the
following:

1654: As William HATCHER learned, even nonmembers who aspersed the dignity
of the House or its officers suffered speedy censure. The troubles began
in October 1654, when HATCHER, a former burgess [member of the assembly]
from Henrico County, accused Edward Hill of blasphemy and atheism.
Serious allegations under any circumstances, HATCHER's assumed larger
proportions because of Hill's prominence as a senior militia officer and
a former Speaker. HATCHER could not sustain his charges in the Quarter
Court, which dismissed them. The matter should have ended once the
court "cleered the said Coll. Edward Hill," but HATCHER was foolhardy.
When the General Assembly convened in November, Hill's colleagues again
elected him Speaker, and HATCHER laid his slurs before the House. This
time, though, he compounded the insinuations by asserting that "the
mouth of his house was a Devil." Affronted by such contempt for their
Speaker, the members hauled HATCHER before the bar of the House and forced
him on bended knee to acknowledge "his offence unto the said Coll. Edward
Hill and Burgesses of this Assembly; which accordingly was performed and
then he the said HATCHER dismist paying his fees."

1658: William HATCHER was again Burgess in March 1658-9. So far as the
extant records show, this was his last public service; but the temper which
induced him to denounce Speaker Hill, got him into trouble at the time of
Bacon's Rebellion. At a court held by the Governor and Council, March
15, 1676-7, "William HATCHER being brought before the court for uttering
divers mutinous words tending to the disquiett of this his Majesty's countrey,
and it being evidently made appeare what was layd to his charge by divers
oaths, and a jury being impanelled to assesse the damages, who bring in
their verdict that they award the said HATCHER to pay ten thousand
pounds of tobacco and caske, which verdict of the jury this honourable
court doth confirme: but in respect the said HATCHER is an aged man, the
court doth order that the said HATCHER doe pay with all expedition eight
thousand pounds of drest porke unto his Majestie's Commander of his
forces in Henrico county. for the supply of the souldiers, which if he
fayle to doe, that he pay eight thousands pounds of tobacco and caske
the next cropp, and pay costs." He was much more fortunate than most who
took part in this rebellion which was called by Bancroft the "Harbinger of
American Nationality". Many were committed to prison and were condemned of
all Or most of their property, which, incidentally was given to friends and
supporters of the King. The citizens of Henrico Co sent the King a list of
their grievances and requested that they be heard. This manuscript signed by:
Wilber ELAM, John Pleasants, Solomon Knibbe, and Will HATCHER. This was
reported in "The History of Henrico Co, VA".

1680: The Will of William HATCHER, 1614-1680:

Att a Court Holden at Varina
For the County of Henrico the first day of April (by his Majesties
Justices of the Peace for said County) in the year of our Lord God 1680
and in the thirty-second year of the reign of our sovereign Lord, Charles
The Second by the grace of God of Great Britain, France and Ireland,
King defender of the faith.

IN THE NAME OF GOD (amen) I William HATCHER being in perfect memory
but now stricken in years do make my last Will and Testament in manner and
form following. In primus I give and bequeath my spirit to Almighty God
who gave it to me whensoever it shall please him to call me out of this
sinful world and my body to the ground. Item: I give unto Thomas Burton,
Jr. the plantation between the land of Mr. Henry Lound and the land
of Gilbert ELAM to wit: two hundred and twentysix acres, his choice of
all my horses or mares, one heifer called blackchops, a young ewe, and a
years schooling and clothes, till he reaches the age of seventeen
years, to the confirmation of which I have hereunto set my hand and
affixed my seal this two and twentieth day of February, 1676/7.

Signed and sealed in the presence of: John Pleasants, Henry Gee

Memorandum before the signing and sealing hereof, I do bequeath unto
the above mentioned Thomas Burton Jr. the second choice of all my
furniture thereunto belonging. s/Will HATCHER

Filed in Henrico County Court the first day of April 1680 by ye oath of
Henry Gee and the testamony of John Pleasants who (being a Quaker)
refused to sweare but only affirms that it to be HATCHER's deed, these
two being witnesses to ye same.

VA., Will and Deed Book Part 1, pg 121. Will of William HATCHER
(Burton-Allen/HATCHER Anthology p 236, The Colonial Genealogist,
from an article by Glenn M. Turnell, FAS).

To Thomas Burton Jr. the land between Mr. Henry Lound and Gilbert
ELAM containing 226 acres, his choice of all of my horses and mares, one
heifer, one Ewwe, a yars schooling, and clothes until he arrives at 17
years of age. 20 February 1676/7. Wit John Pleasants and Henry Gee.
Before signing, "I give also to Thomas Burton Jr. the second choice of
all my bed and furniture." Recorded 1 April 1680 (see patent 26 Sept 1674).

From "The Family of Bartholomew Stovall, Volume 1, by Neil Thompson.

His Will, made when he was "well stricken in years" dated 1676/7, was
proved 1 April 1680. It names no executor or residuary legatee and in
fact mentions no child at all. On 26 September 1674 he had procured a
patent for 227 acres of land in Henrico County; this land he devised
for life to Thomas Burton Jr. together with the latter's choice of his
horses and mares, one heifer, one Ewe, a years schooling, and clothing
until he arrives at the age of seventeen, also the second choice of his
bed and its furniture. Such a Will is more like a deed of a gift to one
particular relative rather than a Will; the rest of his property was
permitted to pass as in intestacy, and on 1 April 1680 Edward and Benjamin
HATCHER, William HATCHER's surviving sons made a gift to the minor children
of their deceased brother Henry of cattle and other personal property out of
the estate of William HATCHER and then divided the residue among themselves.

Note: We have the following from "THE HISTORY OF PITTSYLVANIA COUNTY
VIRGINIA" by Maude Carter Clement, p 10 Re: Indians

1671:"......About 1671 Captain Wm. Byrd became an active competitor of
Major Wood for the Indian trade. There were other independent traders,
such as Henry HATCHER, who reported to Major Wood details of Needham's
death at the hand of the Occaneechi and when Byrd visited his estate
of Eden in North Carolina in 1733, he saw cut upon a great beech the
inscription: "J. H., H. H., B. B. lay here the 24th of May 1673." Mrs.
Clement goes on to say the initials read Joseph HATCHER, Henry HATCHER
and Benjamin Bullington, three Indian traders who camped under that tree
sixty years before......"

The above story has been found in a number of books but I must take
exception to the notion these initials "read" anything at all and that
Mrs Clement is making a wild assumption in claiming J H is Joseph HATCHER.
There has never been found a Joseph HATCHER in this particular family.
Based on the document written by Abraham Wood, I will make the
assumption that J H "reads" John Hasecoll - Indian John. Since Indian
John was often used as a guide to locate the constantly moving tribes,
it seems to make perfect sense that Indian John would be the guide for
Henry HATCHER and Ben Bullington.

1674: An edited version of a letter from Abraham Wood to John Richards,
August 22, 1674 (full version in separate file):

The good successes of the last journey by my men performed gave me
great hopes of a good success in the latter for I never heard from nor
anything after I employed Mr. James Needham past from Aeno, an Indian
town two days' journey beyond Occhonechee, in safety. But now begins the
tragic scene of mishap. Upon the 27th of January following, I received a
flying report by some Indians that my men were killed by the Tomahittans
passing over their river as they were returning. Now daily came
variable reports of their miscarriage. All Indians spoke darkly to hide
the truth from being discovered for fear the guilt of the murder would be
layed upon themselves. I sent another man out to inquire what might be
found out of truth in the business, but before his return upon the 25th
of February came one Henry HATCHER, an Englishman, to my house who had
been at Occhonechee trading with those Indians, and tells me that my
man I last sent out was stopped there by the Occhonechees from going any
further until HATCHER pursuaded them to let my man pass, which they did
accordingly. This HATCHER further told me that Mr. James Needham was
certainly killed at his going out, but by whom he knew not, but as the
Occhonechees said by the Tomahittans that went with him, but said
HATCHER I saw the Occhonechee Indian known by the name of John, a fat
thick bluff faced fellow, have Mr. James Needham's pistols and gun in
his hand, as the Indian himself told HATCHER.

This Indian John by his Indian name is called Hasecoll. Now you are to
note that this Indian John was one that went with Mr. James Needham and
my man Gabriel Arthur at the first to the Tomahittans and returned with
Mr. James Needham to my house where he the said John received a reward
to his content and agreed with me to go again with him. And endeavor
his protection to the Tomahittans and to return with Mr. James Needham
and my man to my house the next spring and to that end received half
his pay in hand. The rest he was to receive at his return. My poor man
Gabriel Arthur all this while captivated all this time in a strange
land, where never Englishman before had set foot, in all likelihood either
slain, or at least never likely to return to see the face of an
Englishman, but by the great providence and protection of God almighty
still survives which just God will not suffer just and honest endeavors
to fall quite to the ground. Maugre the devil and all his adherents.

To the three daughters Anne, Mary, and Martha HATCHER, all daughters

1686: Henrico Co, VA Orphans Court, January 1. It is ordered that Henry
HATCHER do appear at the next court to discharge the secretary from the
estate given him and his brother William by their uncles Edward and
Benjamin HATCHER and Mr Lound promises to give him notice of this order.

1693: On June 1, Anne married a man named Moody in Henrico Co, VA.

Henrico Co, VA Book 3, p 153:

1697: August 20, Mr Henry Lound guardian to Henry HATCHER's orphans now
released, all orphans now being of age.

The above records can be used to determine the birth years for Henry's
children. These children seem to be identified in the sequence of their
birth in all records as follows: Anne, Henry, Mary, William and Martha.
All were minors - the girls under 18 (born 1660-1677) and the boys
under 21 (born 1657-1677). Henry Lound's gift to these children in 1678
shows that Anne is under 15 (born after 1662).

From Henrico County, Virginia, Wills and Deeds, 1677-1705, compiled by
Benjamin B Weisinger III, p.55, we find a deed witnessed by Henry
HATCHER dated 8 Nov 1688. Henry was likely at least 18 when he witnessed
this deed, so born 1670 or earlier. The Orphan's Court record of 1686
discharges the secretary's responsibilities for Henry and William. This
would indicate Henry was now 21 and born 1665.

We can now attempt to establish birth years as follows:

Anne bn 1663, md 1681 at age 18
Henry bn 1665, md c1690 at age 25
Mary bn 1667, marriage date unknown
William bn 1669, died c1694
Martha bn 1671, md 1699 at age 28.


Captain Henry Lound was Anne's father. He was born around 1618 and died
between July and November of 1708, in Henrico Co, VA. He married Anne
(?). His children were Anne Lound and Mary Batte.

1708: Will of Henry Lound

Henry Lound of Varina Parish, Henrico Co., for good will & affection to

2 brown cows, and to said Mary and Martha 1 mare. These four children
to be possessed of this at age 15. Anne HATCHER to have hers at 15 or
marriage. If they die under age, then said livestock goes to the (rest missing).

In his will dated July 1708, probated Nov 1708, Henry Lound names his

From Letter found in S C Moore's notes:

From Col Leroy Tilton to Russel Everett Mooney:

Henry HATCHER (Senior) certainly died early in 1677/78 (admn by Ann in Feb.)
Deeds of gift from their grandfather Henry Lound and from their uncles,
Benjamin and Edward show that they had at least Ann, Henry, Mary,
William, and Martha named in about that order. (A Matthew is also
mentioned once, but this may be a misreading for Martha) therefore it may
be estimated that Henry and Ann married about 1667 and that Henry Jr
was born c1670; therefore a birth date of c1672 is in order.

On 1 June, 1693, Henry HATCHER's servant deposed concerning a trip to
Henry HATCHER's father-in-law James Batte at Herren's Creek in Charles
City Co. So I thought the matter settled. But Mr Gardiner finds that a
John Hardaway, Jr on 13 April 1693 being aged 15 years, chose as his
guardian his brother-in-law Henry HATCHER of Henrico.

I find that a John Hardaway was living at least as late as 15 October
1679 (granted adm on estate of Ebbett Harris (C C Orders 1677-1679, p
407), and James Batte was married to a Mrs Hardaway at least by 4
December 1689, (C C Orders 1687-1695, p 267).

Consequently, Dorothy was not the daughter of James Batte and Mrs
Frances Hardaway which would have justified both of the relationships
on record as of 1693. If she was a daughter of James Batte by a former
marriage of his, then and then only was James Batte brother-in-law to
Henry HATCHER in 1693. If she were a daughter of John and Frances and then
only would John Hardaway, Jr be justified in calling Henry his brother-in-law.

According to Jerry Proudfit: After the death of John Hardaway, Frances
md. James Batte/Batty prior to 12/4/1689, in CharlesCityCo, VA. There
apparently was only one child of this union, daughter Mary, who md.
Samuel Markham, was widowed and then md. William Parsons. Henry
was md. to Dorothy Hardaway in 1690 in HenricoCo, VA.

From Katherine Harbury:

John Hardaway correctly described Henry HATCHER as his brother-in-law
when he was 15 in that Charles City County record (Charles City Co. Va.
Order Book 1687-95), p. 207. Moreover, the 1739 will of childless Edith
(Hardaway) Tyler-Pierce in York County named her brother Thomas
Hardaway, Dorothy HATCHER, Elizabeth Lett and Mary Parsons. This is
found in York County Va. Deeds, Orders, Wills &c. 18, 1732-40, p. 578,
dated 4 march 1739/40 and proved 17 March 1739/40. They were her siblings
and half-sibling. A descendant of Elizabeth Lett knew she was nee'
Hardaway and Mary Parsons was the dau of James Batty and thus a little
half-sister to the others. John Lett, Elizabeth's husband, lived in Charles
City Co. and had James Batty as one of his sureties in 1694 (Charles City
Co. Va. Order Book 1687-1695, p. 546). Also note that Dorothy HATCHER named
one of her daughters Frances.

p 245: November 4, 1768 Julius HATCHER, orphan of Henry HATCHER,
chooses Joseph Jackson as his guardian.

Joseph Jackson was Julius's brother-in-law, husband of sister Frances.
It is not clear whether orphaned males could select their guardian at
age 14 or 16, but regardless, this would place Julius's birth year at
1752-1754. The assumption of Margaret's death c1768 comes from the
fact that she was financially capable of caring for her children, implying no
reason for Julius to select a guardian had his mother still been alive.

OVERTON ORIGINS

The OVERTON family has descended through the lines of the ancient
Anglo-Saxon culture in England.

with three crosses fleury (Florentine).

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Not married.
Children:
Cecil De OVERTON
John De OVERTON
2. Thomas De OVERTON (-1392)

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

The amount of William De OVERTON's tax, compared to others, makes it
clear he was one of the more prosperous inhabitants of Helmsley. He is
included on the tax rolls of 1300/01.

The seat of the OVERTON family in England was on the east coast of
Yorkshire at a village named Easington. The All Saints Church in Easington
was built near the end of the 12th Century.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Thomas De OVERTON was the sheriff of Yorks Minister in 1338 at the time
of the offense of Joan Fletcher. She was at the time, excommunicated by
William de Malton, Archbishop of York for contumacy of his authority.
Thomas arrested her as he was ordered, but had to take refuge with her
in Helmsley castle when several malefactors came to kill him and release
his prisoner. King Edward III had to direct the constable, William
Starr, to keep her safely in the castle until either the church was
satisfied or he ordered her release.

Thomas and his wife Ellen had holdings in Holderness, probably as a
result of the influence of the DeRos family. He was proabably the first
Prior of Haltemprise, Cottingham.

The OVERTON arms were extant in Helmsley in the 14th Century and consisted of a field azure (blue) and chevron ermine (white) between peacocks' heads erased argent (silver). The shield was surmounted on a man's breast and supported by the arms and hands on either side. The man's face peers over the shield, and he has angel's wings which surround the arms. These arms were passed down through at least the subsequent generation.362,361

of arms. A carved stone with the coat of arms was removed from the
church and carried away during the church's restoration between 1866 and
1869. It was mounted beneath the eaves of the roof, high on the back,

Germaine OVERTON
Griselle (Griselda) OVERTON
Thomas OVERTON

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

John OVERTON was removed as Magistrate during the usurpation of Oliver
Cromwell and was very disliked by Cromwell's "Roundheads" for his
staunch Royalist stand and was, although an old man, imprisoned 22 weeks for
being an enemy of Parliament. All his estates were confiscated, but
were later restored to him. At one point while son Robert was pursuing
King Charles I with Fairfax or Monck, his father sheltered the King at
OVERTON Manor. His son Robert erected a beautiful monument for his parents
in the All Saints Church at Easington behind the Lady Altar.

The inscription reads:

"THIS MONUMENT SPEAKS THE MEMORY OF THE DECEASED
BUT NEVER TO BE DIVIDED JOHN OVERTON ESQ AND JOAN
HIS WIFE WHO LIVED BELOVED AND DIED LAMENTED
THEIR SACRED DUST ONE GRAVE CONTAINS UNTIL THE TRUMP OF
GLORY SHAL UNITE THEIR BODIES TO THEIR SOULS

PRETIO PRUDENTIA PRAESTAT

BE INDEX MARBLE TO THEIR NAMES
RECORD THEIR VIRTUES WITH THEIR FAMES
WHICH ART NEEDS NOT TO REPRESENT
VIRTUES ITS OWN VIVE MONUMENT
FOR BLOOD NOT MINDS BUT MINDS ADORN
THEIR BLOOD WHO'RE BETTER THAN GREAT BORN
IF SO KNOW READER IN ONE WORD
HERES MORE THAN MADAM OR MY LORD
ROBERTUS FILIUS MAERENS
SCRIPSIT ANNO 1651"

He possessed a large estate as well as OVERTON Hall, later known as
OVERTON Manor. He was also Justice of the Peace.

John and his son Robert bore bitterness over their political differences
precluding an assumption of the family arms. The arms of the father
John were not passed to the son, Robert, who assumed arms of his own
design which were indicative of his staunch, personal Christian beliefs.
John even disowned his son Robert for a time. The new coat of arms was
probably sanctioned by either Cromwell as Lord Protector or later by
King Charles II, after his return from exile to the throne. This new coat
of arms' field was azure (blue) with a bend (sash) sable with three
crosses fleury (Florentine). This also accounts for the discovery that
John OVERTON refused to be Knighted, an honor which was a transmissible
inheritance, and one he knew his son would not accept. John had to pay a
fine of 17 pounds for declining his knighthood between 1630 and 1632.
The Manor House had 16 hearths and stood on the south side of Blackwell
Row, near the square. The OVERTONs had holdings in Holderness just as
they did in Malton while living in Helmsley. John OVERTON's grandfather,
John, is known to have resided at OVERTON Hall before 1560. It was
moated by at least 1545. During John's occupancy the Manor was elegant and
had portraits of all the Kings and Queens of England from William the
Conqueror to Charles II. It was demolished in 1887 and two small
cottages now stand on the site.

He is described as "John OVERTON of Easington and Hull".

John OVERTON was a devoted adherent of Charles I and made himself
disliked by the Roundheads. His son adopted puritannical principles and
fought for the Parliamentarians.

Education: Admitted To Gray's Inn, 1 Nov 1631. Gray's Inn is one of the
four Inns of Court in around the Royal Courts of Justice in London,
England to which barristers belong and where they are called to the bar.
The others are Middle Temple, Inner Temple and Lincoln's Inn. It is
situated in Holborn, in the London Borough of Camden. The nearest tube
station is Chancery Lane. Known colloquially as the "Northern Inn" and
reputedly the most friendly of the Inns, Gray's is often said to have a
slight left wing slant.

Maj. Gen. Robert OVERTON is described as being of London and Easington
in Yorkshire, England. OVERTON was a "prominent soldier, scholar, and
officer under Oliver Cromwell."

OVERTON was one of Oliver Cromwell's chief officers and was imprisoned
in the Isle of Jersey until 1668.

He is described as Major General Robert OVERTON of Easington Manor.

After being transferred from the Tower of London to the Isle of Jersey,
his wife Anne left her children to tend to him because of his poor
health, brought on by harsh conditions in the Tower of London.

Robert OVERTON wrote about his wife:

"...when she in charity came to visit me
a cancer seiz'd on her, to set her fre."

"The causer of her killinge cancer
she's prayed for & pardoned all his cruelty."

"When I am deade, Doctors survey each part,
you'le finde her picture in my heart."

About Cromwell and Monck:

"...Poore vicories! Had C & M been brave,
they could no comforte, in her conquest have.
Her virtue triumpht over men
None but a Monster killer her then.
What though he wears the Star and Garter?
His mallise made, her virtue, his Martyr.
Greate Sainted Soule, thy Glory this shall be
He broke his faith with God, & Man,
eare he broke thee."

Robert OVERTON was born in Easington and later lived in London and in
Easington, Holderness, Yorkshire, England. A Puritan, serving under the
Fairfaxes, he was one of Oliver Cromwell's officers, commanding a
brigade of fott at Dunbar in the cause of the Commonwealth under Cromwell.
Robert OVERTON adoped Puritanical principles and supported the
Parliamentary cause. He was probably influenced by Sir William Constable,
one of those who signed the warrant for the King's execution.

Robert OVERTON began early to solicit a position in the army of Lord
Fairfax, but there were apparently no official positions available. He
was allowed to fight without any definite rank and distinguished himself
in the defense of Hull and at the Battle of Marston Moor.

1645: OVERTON was governor of Pontefract during the siege. Poulson and
others have recorded an incident concerning the implied refusal of
OVERTON to allow a knight, Sir Gervaise Cutler, to be buried in the church
and the governor's inconsiderate mistreatment of Lady Cutler. These
acts were quoted by Poulson from a diary of Nathan Drake, a royalist
defender of Pontefract Castle and a political foe of OVERTON.

In March, Lord Fairfax appointed Robert OVERTON, Deputy Governor of
Hull. There he was a friend of notable Puritan poet Andrew Marvell.
Although without official rank, he reduced Sandal Castle.

1647: He got an official command in the regular army of the Commonwealth
in the summer and in July was given command of the late Col.
Herbert's foot regiment.

1648: He was very unpopular as Deputy Governor and in June of 1648 the
town Mayor and some of the town council petitioned for his removal.

1649: OVERTON was a purist in his view of Christianity, even changing
his coat of arms. He disagreed on several points of the New Policy of
Cromwell's Commonwealth government, and in 1649 wrote a "Declaration of
the Garrison of Hill." In 1650 he went with Cromwell to Scotland and
commanded a Foot Brigade at the Battle of Dunbar and was made Governor
of Edinburgh by Cromwell.

1650: Robert and Anne joined the church. Appointed Governor of Edinburgh.

1651: In July his Regiment was part of the force sent to Fife, where
he commanded the reserve at the victory of Inverkeithing. He helped
complete the subjugation of Scotland and commanded an expedition
to reduce the garrison the forces in the Orkneys.

The South Aisle of the All Saints Church in Easington contains The Lady
Chapel. Above the Altar is a monument dated 1651 which was placed there
by Maj. Gen. Robert OVERTON in memory of his parents, "the deceased but
never to be divided John OVERTON and his wife Joan."

1652: On May 14, 1652, Parliament voted him 400 pounds sterling per
year in Scottish lands for his services. He was also appointed Governor of
Aberdeen, and Sire Alexander Irvine appealed to him when he was
excommunicated by the Presbytery of Aberdeen. In December, when Monck's
successor Dean was recalled, Monck appointed Col. OVERTON as Military
Commander over all the English forces in the Western Highlands with the rank of
Major General.

His career paralleled that of Cromwell until he could no longer in
conscience agree with him. He was concerned with the religious aspects of
Cromwell's war, rather than the political. Robert resigned his command,
feeling he could no longer serve. He was "an efficient soldier and
diligent administrator. OVERTON was also widely respected as a man of
learning and disinterested virtue...was an independent and republican,
opposed to government by King or Protector...He is most clearly identified
with the Fifth Monarchists in 1659 when they were engaged in concerted
action with republicans and Levellers....OVERTON continued to suffer for
his radical sympathies..."

1653: He returned home because of his father's death and succeeded to
the family estate in Easington and again resumed duties as Governor of
Hull. He was restless and dissatisfied with the speed of the work of
Reformation. Although he hailed Cromwell's dissolution of the Long
Parliament in June 1653. He subsequently became filled with doubt and
suspicious of Cromwell as Protector. Although his letters to Lord General
Cromwell were affectionate, he warned Cromwell that if he set himself up,
instead of the good of the nation, he "would not set one foot before
another to serve him." Cromwell answered, "thou wert a knave if thou
wouldst," allowing him to retain his command on the promise that he would
deliver it up when he could not conscientiously serve the Protectorate any longer.

1654: In September 1654, Maj. Gen. OVERTON returned to his command in
Scotland. After Cromwell's death in September 1658, the accession of
Cromwell's son Richard, as Lord Protector of England was well-received in
Hull. Robert perceived the execution of Charles I as a fulfillment of
Old Testament scripture, and often cited Ezekiel 21:26-27, concerning
the humble and God's "overturning" established order. Robert wrote:

"the Lord...is forced to shake and shake and overturn and overturn;
this is a shaking, overturning dispensation."

He allegedly wrote the following verse attacking Cromwell the Protector,
as the "ape of a King," doubtless adding substantially to the desires
of those who soon imprisoned him without trial:

"A Protector! What's that? Tis a stately thing
That confesseth itself the ape of a King;
A tragical Caesar acted by a crown,
Or a brass farthing stamped with a kind of crown;
A bauble that shines, a loud cry without wool,
Not Perillus nor Phalaris, but the bull;
The echo of Monarchy till it come,
The butt-end of a barrel in the shape of a drum;
A counterfeit piece that woodenly shows,
A golden effigies with a copper nose;
The fantastic shadow of a sovereign head,
The arms-royal reversed, and disloyal instead;
In fine, he is one we may Protector call,
From whom the King of Kings protect us all!"

1654: In December, OVERTON was again arrested and imprisoned in the Tower
of London for planning a military insurrection against the government
and to assassinate Monck. It was called the "OVERTON Revolt," but was
inaccurate and the radicals of this demonstration were mostly Baptists
and Robert OVERTON refused to join them. He was, however, too lenient
with his "disaffected officers" in sanctioning their meetings. Cromwell
used this event to purge his army of all Anabaptists. The allegation
about the planned assassination of Monck was false because OVERTON and
Monck were good friends at this time. OVERTON held meetings with John
Wildman, an unprincipled, malcontented Leveller plotter, who would use
anyone in order to bring down Parliament. Robert did not support him and
later, while in the Tower of London, wrote others of Wildman's plans. A
fellow prisoner in the Tower wrote of OVERTON, "He was a great independent,
civil and decent, a scholar, but a little pedantic." OVERTON was
completely devoted to his cause and had a willingness to suffer for it.

He wrote:

"If I be called to seal the cause of God and my country with my blood,
by suffering death or by bearing any testimony to the interest of my
nation and dispersed truths of these times, He is able to support and
save me, as the sun to shine upon me... If I can but keep the faith and
good conscience, I shall assuredly finish my course with joy."

1655: OVERTON was removed as Deputy Governor. He fought under Cromwell
in Wales and the North and drove the Cavaliers out of the Isle of
Axolme, and was with him when they brought the King out of the Isle of Wight
where he had taken refuge with the Scots. Robert OVERTON took no part
in King Charles' eventual trial, but thoroughly approved of it. He only
wanted him deposed and wrote letters to that effect, and stayed with
George Monck in Scotland when Cromwell returned to England with Charles
II. When he was displaced as Deputy Governor he wrote letters to
vindicate himself from the dispersions cast on him by the Pamphleteers.
OVERTON served 2 years in the Tower of London where he was dealt with quite
severely, more so than others because of the focus, even though unjust,
that was upon him.

1658: He was sent to Elizabeth Castle on the Isle of Jersey in March 1658.

1659: On February 3, Grizelle, his sister, his wife Anne, her brother,
and many Republicans, along with letters from Robert's close friend
John Milton, presented his case to Parliament.

Robert OVERTON & John Milton, the poet, probably became acquainted
early on in St. Giles, Cripplegate, where they moved and lived for a time.
Milton considered OVERTON a scholar and celebrated him and his exploits
in his "Defensio Secundo" thusly:

"...bound to me these many years past in friendship of more than
brotherly closeness and affection, both by the similarity of our tastes and
the sweetness of your manners." He also included Robert OVERTON in his
list of "twelve apostles of revolutionary integrity."

Robert's return was called "his greatest political triumph; a huge
crowd, bearing laurel branches, acclaimed him and diverted his coach from
its planned path."

On March 16, 1659, the government ordered him released from prison
after hearing his case, pronouncing his imprisonment illegal. Charles II
wrote him promising him forgiveness for past disloyalty and rewarded him
for services in effecting the restoration. In June 1659 he was restored
to his command and further compensated for his losses. On October 12,
1659 he was one of seven Commanders in whom Parliament vested the
government of the army until January 1660.

1660: OVERTON was appointed Governor of Hull and again was unpopular,
many referring to him as "Governor Overturn," because of his association
with the Fifth Monarchymen who used the phrase liberally. By early
1660, OVERTON began to show signs of resistance against the regime. He was
disgutled at the thought of Charles II's return to the throne as well
as Monck's new design to aid that return. Robert OVERTON was probably
making preparations against another Royalist siege. He and his officers
refused to sign appeals from either side. He sought to mediate and
published an exhortation to them to maintain the Lord's cause, entitled "The
Humble Healing Advice of R.O." His ambiguity of conduct and letters to
troops in Yorkshire caused Monck much embarrassment, and as a result,
Monck had Fairfax order him to take any order Monck gave. On March 4,
1660 Monck ordered him to surrender his command to Fairfax and come to
London. OVERTON planned a stand, but he must have seen that defeat would
have been inevitable. Hull's disaffection for him and some division
among the garrison caused him to allow himself to be replaced by Col.
Fairfax's son, Charles. Hull began the Civil War as the first town to resist
Charles I and was among the last to accept his son Charles II. On May 8,
1660 the Royal arms were replaced and on May 11, Charles II was proclaimed
King. After 1642 no monarch would set foot in Hull for over 200 years.

Robert OVERTON applauded the Fairfaxes poetically for making destiny their choice:

"As Empires are still best maintained,
Those ways which first their greater gained;
So in this universal frame,
What made and keeps it is the same."

Robert OVERTON did not take part in the trial of the King or sit on the
tribunals which condemned the Royalist leaders, and he was not excepted
from the Act of Indemnity. He continued, after the Restoration, to
suffer for his perceived radical sympathies. The Levellers' ideal of
natural justice appealed to him and they regarded him as "a pillar of
theirs," but he was also impressed with the Godly aims of the Fifth
Monarchy Men, whose notable preacher was John Canne.

OVERTON was an independent and a republican. He was regarded, falsely,
as one of the 5th Monarchy men and at the first rumor of insurrection
was arrested and sent to the Tower in December 1660.

1661: He was briefly liberated and in the Fall of 1661 he issued a
series of deeds to make provision for his mother, his wife and family
and to avoid confiscation of his property by the Crown. Most of his
properties were sold to his close friends, John Donne the poet and fiery
preacher who left Charles I and the Episcopal church, to his son Fairfax,
son Ebenezer and his daughter Joanna. The last documents were executed
November 7, 1661 and on the 9th he was sent to Chepstow Castle.

1663: He managed a short interval of freedom but was again arrested on
May 26, 1663 on "suspicion of seditious practices and for refusing to
sign the oaths or give security."

1664: The government sent him to Jersey. Andrew Marvel, the English
Satirist, wrote in a letter to John Milton that,"Col. OVERTON (was) one of
those steady Republicans whom Cromwell was unable to conciliate and was
under the necessity of security." It was not uncommon for high-ranking
political prisoners to have somewhat the run of the island.

Robert OVERTON wrote a poignant letter to his son J.O. from his prison
in Jersey, sadly exhorting him to change his ways from his apostasy.

His 7 year incarceration on Jersey Island was spent trying to establish
his freedom. He wrote a 370 page manuscript of letters, meditations and
poetry to his beloved wife's memory and about religious subjects. The
manuscript "Gospell Observations & Religious Manifestations", now
reposes in the Dept. of Rare Books and Special Collections of Princeton
University.

1671: He was kept there until shortly after December 6, 1671. He then
returned to England and lived his last years with or near his daughters
and probably two sons in Rutland.

The OVERTON plantation in Hanover County was called "Bear Island." 1666: William OVERTON was living alone and unmarried at his father's house in Easington when he declined registering his arms and pedigree before Sir William Dugdale. William OVERTON sailed to Virginia in 1668 or 1669 and was soon followed by his fiancee, Elizabeth Waters, whom he married on board the ship on which she arrived at Yorktown on 24 Nov 1670. Early OVERTONs in Virginia belonged to the Anglican (Episcopal) Church. William and Elizabeth resided in Blisland Parish in New Kent (later St. Peter's). 1673: On October 9th William OVERTON served as member of a jury in New Kent which was impaneled to determine whether his neighbor George Brown had owned land when he died.

As rivers were the only means of transportation, the earliest Virginians built their homes close to the waterways. William OVERTON's land in New Kent on Pamunkey River, called "Glen Cairn," was a valuable plantation which remained in the hands of his descendants for several generations. Today, this land is part of the property of King's Dominion, a theme park north of Richmond. It is said that remnants of a few gravestones on a family burying ground still exist on the Park land.

On page 11, In the "Chronicles of Smith County, Texas" Vol. 9, number 2, Fall, 1970, in an article about Colonel John F. OVERTON, there is this notation regarding the person assumed to be John F. OVERTON's father, or more likely, grandfather, a John OVERTON of Moore County, North Carolina: "One of these ancestors, another John OVERTON, settled there (Moore County, North Carolina) in 1756. In the book, Moore County, North Carolina, 1747 - 1847, by Blackwell P. Robinson, there is this notation on page 136: 'Only ten heads of families in 1790 owned ten or more slaves, and not one of them owned as many as 25. The largest slave holder was Thomas H. Perkins, with 24 slaves, followed by John OVERTON, Sr., with 23.' " This information may be found on page 43 of the 1790 Fayette District, Moore County Census. John OVERTON, Sr. and his wife, along with 23 Slaves are shown in this census. In a September 16, 1965 note written to Howard Bramlette by Grace Peebles, she indicates that she had been doing a lot of research on the OVERTON name in North Carolina and Tennessee. On page 2 of the note, Mrs. Peebles states: "...If you can have access to a recent book, I got it this summer, "A History of Moore County, N.C. 1747 - 1847," by Blackwell P. Robinson, published by Moore County Historical Association, Southern Pines N.C., 1956. I was able to get mine from the Genealogical Book Co. It has a map showing where John OVERTON (wife Sarah) was living in 1756 and John, Jr. is listed but not located on map. Their plantation was just across the River from where Thomas H. Perkins lived. Also a neighbor was Malcolm Gilchrist, whose name you'll find in connection with John OVERTON regarding some land in Rutherford County, Tennessee. Also, the farm of Mrs. Christian Jackson (whose will I enclose) was about four miles from John OVERTON's place. Her husband's name was Samuel." In the same letter, Mrs. Peebles continues on about other OVERTONs: "...In the Moore County Book I find that Conner Dowd married a Mary (OVERTON) Shields, a young widow. She is more than likely a daughter of John OVERTON, Sr. and his wife Sarah. Dowd was a Loyalist during the Revolutionary War. North Carolina records have many references to Mary Dowd (wife of Conner) attempting to get his property released by the Government."

He declares to have living three children the issue of his first marriage, viz: Samuel, Jesse and Cassandra OVERTON. He gives and bequeaths to his wife Susannah OVERTON in usufruct for a term of 4 years his Negro slave Jack, Negro man, and the Negro woman Hannah, after which term it is his will that the said slaves be set free from service forever in consequence of which disposition, the said wife or representative shall take necessary steps before competent authority to obtain freedom of said slaves according to law. He declares that John Anderson is in his debt $15.00. He names his son Samuel OVERTON the executor of this his last will and testament giving him full power for same.

Brown, Vincent Kirkland and Malcom Patterson, witnesses, residing in this town, and he ratified same as containing his last will and testament, which was written without turning to another act.
