[[Category:Trudgian Name Study]] [[Category:DNA Projects]] ==About the Project== The Trudgian Name Study project serves as a collaborative platform to collect information on the [https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Trudgian Trudgian] name. The hope is that other researchers like you will [[#How to Join|join the study]] to help make it a valuable reference point for other genealogists who are researching or have an interest in the Trudgian name. As a One Name Study, this project is not limited to persons who are related biologically. Individual [[#Teams|team studies]] can be used to branch out the research into specific methods and areas of interest, such as geographically (England Trudgians), by time period (18th Century Trudgians), or by topic (Trudgian DNA, Trudgian Occupations, Trudgian Statistics). These studies may also include a number of family branches which have no immediate link with each other. Some researchers may even be motivated to go beyond the profile identification and research stage to compile fully sourced, single-family histories of some of the families they discover through this name study project.

If you have any questions, just ask. Thanks! == Goals == This is a One Name Study to collect together in one place everything about the Trueblood surname. It may end up being slightly different from many other ONS in that: * We all derive from a single person in Tudor Lincolnshire. * Much of the heavy work was done by Bula May Trueblood Watson and published in her 1964 magnum opus 'The Trueblood Family in America'The Trueblood family in America, 1682-1963 : John Trueblood of Shoreditch, England, and his descendants: additions and corrections to the 1964 edition / by Bula Trueblood Watson ; with the editorial assistance of Felicity Trueblood The hope is that other researchers like you will join our study to help make it a valuable reference point for people studying lines that cross or intersect. == Task List == * To complete the work on the Tudor and Stuart Truebloods pre-1700 (complete). * To tie in the much slimmer English tribe to the whole (All 1911 England & Wales Truebloods now input and connected) * To get really good quality biographies for the first three generations of Truebloods in America (complete) * To eventually get as much of Bula's work online so more of the Americans are there * To list the handful of Truebloods who have come to public attention (and it is really only a handful...) == Origin of the Trueblood Name== As a child I read the story that the Trueblood name was derived by the joining of the names True and Blood, ultimately making the name Trueblood. Allegedly a John Blood married a Mary True and named their son John True Blood, eventually fusing the names into a whole. It's a lovely story but that is all it is. Since then I have read stories of Normans and Saxons, Crusaders and the Magna Carta, again just tales. In reality Trueblood is just a somewhat unusual English surname. If all English surnames derive from four roots: place, job, family or description then Trueblood is clearly in the last category. Whether Trueblood was a reference to a line of supposedly pure blood back to Saxon times or if it was a description of a particularly loyal person is not clear. Nor is it entirely clear whether the name originates once or multiple times in different parts of the country. Garry Blood has come up with [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Blood_Name_Study_New_Hypothesis an excellent theory] relating the origin of the Blood surname with the blood piety movement of the Middle Ages. This theory applies particularly well to the Trueblood surname. == The Treweblods of Warwickshire== The first records of a recognizable forerunner of the Trueblood name occur in Warwickshire in the Middle Ages. The Wingfield Digby family of Sherborne Castlehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherborne_Castle in Dorset and Coleshillhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coleshill%2C_Warwickshire in Warwickshire gave manuscripts relating to estate management of their Warwickshire lands to Birmingham City Archives for storage. In amongst these documents are eleven referenceshttp://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/results/r?_q=Treweblod to various generations of a yeoman family named Treweblod. The first of these references relates to a curtilage, one of its boundaries being the lands of Henry Treweblod. The date on the document is the Sunday following the feast of St Lucia the Virgin in the 25th year of the reign of Edward III http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/69b1c4ee-1a77-42d1-abca-8f9c17e1cd8f. This translates to 16 December 1351. Various documents follow related to Henry, his widow, Margery and a number of William, Richard and Henry Treweblods. These are in the reigns of Edward III, Richard II, Henry IV, V and VI. The last entry in the papers relates to another land grant, one boundary of which is the croft of John Treweblod and one of the witnesses to the document is Richard Trewblod. The date of the document is the feast of the Apostles Philip & James in the 9th year of the reign of Henry VI http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/a3aff2aa-be22-426d-ab76-debb19ee5da3. This translates to 1 May 1431. In 1443 a pardon is given by the king to William, Richard & Thomas Trewblode, barkers, over a case of assault and robberyCalendar of the patent rolls preserved in the Public ... 1441-1446 Henry VI v.4. Great Britain. https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015031079604&view=1up&seq=218. Barkers stripped the bark from trees for use in tanning.

Great Britain. https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015031079539&view=1up&seq=232. And yet, when Parish registers begin to be kept in 1538 there are no records of the name in Warwickshire. The family has entirely vanished. == The Family in Tudor and Stuart Times== The next entry of a Trueblood in the record is the baptism between 1561 and 1572 of five children of John Trueblood, the first three in Beltonhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belton,_Lincolnshire, Lincolnshire and the last two in Claypolehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claypole%2C_Lincolnshire, a village six miles to the northwest. Could there be a connection to the Warwickshire Treweblods? It is not impossible but it seems unlikely. The Coleshill documents relate almost entirely to land and the Treweblods were clearly yeomanhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yeoman farmers. The Wingfield Digby family have links to Dorset, not Lincolnshire and so it is not likely that Warwickshire Treweblods were following the noble family to the north. All in all, it is unlikely there is any connection between the two counties. {{Image|file=Trueblood_Name_Study-2.jpg |align=c |size=l |caption=Baptismal entry for Thomas Trueblood }} The entry above is the oldest record currently known for a Trueblood connected to living members of the family. It records the baptism of Thomas, sonne of John Trueblood on 31 August 1561 in Belton Church in Lincolnshire. It is worth noting that the surname is spelt as it is today. There are numerous misspellings in the years that follow but always the majority of entries in the records are for the name in its original form. {{Image|file=Trueblood_Name_Study-3.jpg |caption=Trueblood Triangle }} From their first appearance until the Civil War the Truebloods live in a number of small villages along the River Witham in the triangle formed by Lincoln and Grantham in Lincolnshire and Newark in Nottinghamshire. It is not entirely clear what they are doing. Both Thomas in the second generation and John Trueblood in the third generation are blacksmiths. As this is a profession is clearly being handed down from father to eldest son there may have been others (potentially the original John too). William in the fourth generation is a prosperous baker in London. Whether a surname thrives or withers is dependent obviously on the number of male children born. The reason the Truebloods in America multiply and spread across the continent (until some are born on the Pacific coast) is that the original immigrant, [[Trueblood-98|John Trueblood]], had 35 great-grandsons. [[Trueblood-291|John Trueblood]], our Tudor founder, by contrast has four great-grandsons. Of these, one dies in Infancy, one in Lincoln gaol and one in the Great Plague of Londonhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Plague_of_London; none reach the age of fifty. The family barely limps on through the Stuart Restoration. But then there is a change of fortunes. When [[Trueblood-285|Arnall Trueblood]] dies in Lincoln gaol in 1658 he leaves behind two sons (one unborn). [[Trueblood-98|John Trueblood]] emigrates to the Carolinas to found the American branch. [[Trueblood-302|William Trueblood]] continues the Lincolnshire branch. By the end of the century they have both had two sons and each of these goes on to have families of their own. Sadly the London branch comes to an end in the 1720s; London mortality in those years is pretty shocking. == Notable Truebloods == The following Trueblood pages are worth a visit: * [[Trueblood-291|John Trueblood]] (c.1535 - aft 1575) The first Trueblood ancestor. Generation 1 * [[Trueblood-289|Thomas Trueblood]] (1561-1646) Tudor blacksmith and swankeeper. Generation 2 * [[Trueblood-288|John Trueblood]] (1591-1683) Stuart blacksmith and Quaker convert. Generation 3 * [[Trueblood-285|Arnall Trueblood]] (1618 - 1658) Quaker martyr. Generation 4 * [[Hoyse-2|Mary (Hoyse) Trueblood]] (c.1620 - 1700) His wife * [[Trueblood-98|John Trueblood]] (1654 - 1692) Arnall & Mary's son; the emigrant to Carolina. Generation 5 and Generation A (American count) * [[Trueblood-518|Benjamin Franklin Trueblood]] (1847-1916) Nobel Peace Prize nominee * [[Trueblood-181|Lyda Trueblood]] (1892 - 1958) Serial killer, 'Flypaper Lyda' * [[Trueblood-373|Norman Trueblood]] (1897 - 1917) The only English Trueblood killed in the Great War * [[Trueblood-220|Guy Leonard Trueblood]] (1894 - 1918) The only American Trueblood killed in the Great War * [[Trueblood-342|D.

Trueblood]] (1916 - 1974) Accountant and Chair of the Trueblood Committee == Research Notes == === Trueblood vs Trueblond === The Trueblood name was occasionally written Truebloud or Trubloud in pre-1700 registers/documents. Later transcribers sometimes misread this as Trueblond/Trublond. Search engines generally do not recognize this as a variant of Trueblood. So when searching always try Trueblond/Trublond, occasionally something good shows up! === The parentage of John Trueblood of Shoreditch === When the book "The Trueblood Family In America" was published in 1964, there were two possible fathers for 'John Trueblood of Shoreditch' as the emigrating ancestor was named after his appellation in his marriage contracthttp://freepages.rootsweb.com/~dbeeler/genealogy/JohnAgnesMarriage.html#JohnAgnesMarriage. One was William of Cripplegate, London, who was a prosperous baker not far from Shoreditch; the other was Arnall of Beckingham, Lincolnshire, a Quaker, who died in Lincoln Castle for his beliefs. As John was a Quaker this link was possible too. It has now been shown that John's father was in fact Arnall. The key links are Quaker records and the will of William Burdett. After the death of Arnall, his wife Mary names their yet to be born son William and seven months after that marries William Burdett. In William's will of 1675https://www.wikitree.com/photo/jpg/Burdett-761, probated in January 1679, three children of Arnall are given bequests. Also in the Lincolnshire Archives is the entry for Fulbeck Monthly Meeting held 5 April 1679: "It is desired that Friends of Beckingham Meeting doe enquire into the clearness and honest walking of John Trueblood and accordingly send a Certificate to Friends at London that he may proceed in Marriage according to Truth". This links John, who married Agnes Fisher the following month in London, to Lincolnshire and specifically Beckingham. === William Trueblood of Cripplegate === This leaves the question of who William Trueblood of St Giles without Cripplegate was. There are no records of Truebloods in London prior to the Civil War. And yet William is baptising children at St Giles during the 1650s. This would imply that he was born between 1615 and 1625 and there are no William Trueblood baptismal records at that time in Lincolnshire. The solution is in William's will. He leaves a bequest to his sister Olive Cheare. Neither Olive nor Cheare is a common name. There is a wedding entry for Olive Trueblood's marriage to John Cheare at St Vedast, Foster Lane in 1653https://www.findmypast.co.uk/transcript?id=R_22085792119. We also have Olive's baptismal record from Barnby in the Willows from 1627https://www.findmypast.co.uk/transcript?id=GBPRS/NOTTINGHAMSHIRE/BAP/000439109 listing her father as John Trueblood. This means that William Trueblood is John Trueblood's son and Arnall's younger brother. He is probably an economic migrant to London during the Civil War. London was a booming metropolis and the one area of England without fighting. He marries Hannah Harding in 1651https://www.findmypast.co.uk/transcript?id=R_856937499/2 in St Margaret Pattens in the City, so presumably he is already well established. He certainly does very well, judging from the size of his estate. William and Hannah have eight children over a twelve year period (two die in infancy), but in 1665 the Great Plaguehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Plague_of_London strikes London. Mortality jumps from about 300 souls per month to over 5000 in the capital. William's will is writtenhttp://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/D841584 but not actually dated and signed. It is however obviously accepted and probated in October 1665, presumably nobody was arguing about details at that point. Three of the children are not recorded again and we can assume they perish too. However his son John survives, is apprenticed in 1669 and becomes a member of the Worshipful Company of Cookshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worshipful_Company_of_Cooks. He marries and goes on to have children of his own. This does mean that the two John Truebloods were in London at the same time in 1679. As first cousins they probably knew each other. One is about come into his inheritance and may already be preparing to emigrate. The other is a citizen of London, recently married with his first child and is about to take on apprentices of his own. Then their paths diverge forever and the American branch flourishes while the London one withers to extinction in 1725. === The Emigration of John Trueblood === There are no documents discovered to date relating to John Trueblood between the marriage agreement to Agnes Fisherhttp://freepages.rootsweb.com/~dbeeler/genealogy/JohnAgnesMarriage.html#JohnAgnesMarriage on 31 July 1679 in London and his willhttp://freepages.rootsweb.com/~dbeeler/genealogy/JohnTruWill1692.html#JohnTruWill1692 dated and signed 7 May 1692 in Albemarle, Carolina. At the death of his stepfather, William Burditt, John is left a relatively minor sum: thirty shillings. This probably reflects that he is expecting his inheritance from elsewhere. His grandfather, also John Trueblood, had lost both his sons and had only his two grandsons left in Lincolnshire. When John finally passes, aged 90, in the spring of 1683, it is likely these grandsons were his heirs. Passage across the Atlantic was £5 per head or more, not to mention the need for equipment and supplies. As well as this John clearly had funds to buy at least one slave. He establishes himself relatively well and by the time of his death is expecting a sizable land grant of 600 acres. Funds on this scale must have come from somewhere and John Trueblood, prosperous blacksmith, is the most likely source. This would make the most likely date of emigration the summer of 1683. This does leave the question as to what John and Agnes were doing between 1679 and 1683. Why are no children recorded until they reach Carolina? == Acknowledgements== Bula May (Trueblood) Watson for her master work on the Trueblood Family in America between 1682 and 1963.

[[Category:Tryon Name Study]]__NOTOC__ [[Category: Tryon Family in America, Tryon Name Study]] [[Category:DNA Projects]] This is a One Name Study to collect together in one place everything about the surname Tryon and its variants. The hope is that other researchers like you will join our study to help make it a valuable reference point for people studying lines that cross or intersect. The most active of the Tryon family researchers at this time is [[Tryon-2537|Michael Tryon]]. Please contact him for more information. == Background & Ambition == The Tryon name appears to have evolved independently in many places. Surnames were not generally used until the 13th century and not common until the 15th. Spelling was fluid through the 19th century and the earliest version in England was Tryan and Trian. The earliest record of a Tryon or its variants in England was in a 13th century document about an 11th century knight of Normandy. In the 16th century a family from Flanders had the Trioen name and immigrated to England, ultimately adopting the Tryon spelling by the mid 1600s. Trian was a common name in the Alsace region and some Trian families immigrated to America. Trines from Germany also immigrated to American and some adopted the Tryon surname. Today there are thousands of Tryons in America while they number only in the hundreds elsewhere. This is seen with many surnames due to the period of rapid expansion into open land in America. Europeans tended to expand to other countries while their numbers remained relatively steady in their home country. "TFA" signifying "Tryon Family in America" is an homage to the work of Wes Tryon who published two editions and an online database compiling Tryons descended from William Tryon of Wethersfield. See: [[Space:Tryon_Family_in_America]]. In the long term we would like to see an updated sequel to that work, improving upon it where we can, as numerous profiles on wikitree can attest, and expanding to encompass Tryons in Canada, which was somewhat neglected in the TFA publication, but more ambitiously - in a global society where there has been high mobility among the Tryons and their descendants (not to mention a degree of back and forth migration between the USA and Canada) - TFA becomes a launching pad for a global perspective encompassing Tryons in Australia, NZ, England and tracing to France & the Netherlands. We have been using these pages on WikiTree as a base of operations and to develop new processes for collaboration in the Tryon Name Study. Not only do we look back upon Wes Tryon's work but also to the now defunct "Tryon Union" which was a community of Tryon genealogical research we still lean upon. == Spaces == Spaces are WikiTree pages that can hold just about anything. We have two of them that cover background information on the Tryons of England and of America. :[[Space:Tryon Family in England|The Tryon Family in England]] :[[Space:Tryon Family in America|The Tryon Family in America]] == Categories == Categories are an important tool for the name study. We currently have some broad groupings: For those who were born or lived in England, please tag as follows:

::

Any Tryon's in the Americas, and their American descendants can be tagged:

[[Category: Tryon Name Study ]]

Individuals may be placed in multiple sub-categories if appropriate, but should not be placed in the super-category if they can be placed in a subcategory. == Other Category Tools and Pages == === Headless === We've been using a personal category "Maranda-80 headless" to designate profiles where we don't know the Tryon lineage they should connect to - i.e. the Tryon parent is unknown. (A few items in this category are not Tryon related, and I will try to reposition them, or we may change this category name in establishing a Tryon One Name Study standard format.) This line of inquiry has been particularly important in addressing the ongoing question of how many distinct lines of Tryons may have emigrated to the Americas. === Prospects === We also use a personal category: "Maranda-80 TFA prospects" to coordinate the exploration of profiles that have a possible but unproven Tryon connection, a primary example being use of Tryon as given or middle name, which obviously does not necessitate Tryon descent. Some of the people identified as possible Tryons have been and will undoubtedly continue to be identified as false positives, They will be recorded in a subsection of the corresponding page which explains how this is coordinated. [[Space:TFA_Prospects]] Although I labeled this TFA prospects - we have been using it loosely to encompass TNS broadly/globally, perhaps I should have named it differently. (MM) === TNS Various Mentions === We also have a workhorse page -- TNS Various Mentions - this page is a holding area for references to Tryons which may or may not as yet have profiles on wikitree or where it is difficult to ascertain where the references or mentions belong. When it is clear where an item belongs and a profile exists, that item is moved to the profile or profiles in question. See: [[Space:TNS_various_mentions]] Anyone who has a collection of references or links pertinent to Tryon genealogy is welcome to drop them somewhere into the bottom of that page. == Tryon Research Secondary Sources Compendium == Here we catalogue and briefly summarize or evaluate the merits of secondary sources relevant to the Tryon Name Study encompassing Tryon research at the broadest level. [[Space:Tryon_Research_Secondary_Sources_Compendium]] == Tryon focused Place Studies == We invite the creation of additional studies that address Tryon families in particular places. We find it useful to further subdivide them in blocks of time. === Glastonbury, CT === Glastonbury is one of the early important locations for the Tryon Family in America, currently there are two pages where important source data is gathered as an overview allowing a high level perspective on the Tryons in Glastonbury. [[Space:Tryon_Families_of_Glastonbury_CT_prior_to_1790]] [[Space:Tryon_Families_of_Glastonbury_CT_from_1790-1850]] == Tryon DNA Projects == We're setting up a page that will inform Tryon Researchers about various Tryion DNA projects and also help you get your DNA tests linked here on wikitree.

British Surnames [http://www.surnamedb.com/Surname/Tooke] The Old-Swedish source of Tooke seems to be confirmed by its distribution in England. Tooke is overwhelmingly prevalent in Norfolk Tooke in the 1881 census [http://www.britishsurnames.co.uk/surname/tooke/1881census], then Suffolk; areas that were part of the Viking [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danelaw| Danelaw]]. References to Thor hit a "high popularity during the Viking Age". Wikipedia: Thor [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thor] Compared with their Anglo- Saxon neighbours, the Vikings favoured Thor, instead of Woden. Also Tooke is derived from "''Old Swedish''" (pre 7th century Old Scandinavian origin) rather than the related "''Old English''". Tuck is far less localized, it's largest concentration is also Norfolk, but it is found through out England. It is also far more common a name than Tooke. British Surnames: Tuck [http://www.britishsurnames.co.uk/surname/tuck/1881census] The Tookes from Norwich, appear to associate themselves (using their arms) with the landed Toke family of Godinton Kent, which claims descent from Le Sire de Tuke (Le Seigneur de Touque(s)). "The Seigneur served under William the Conqueror at the Battle of Hastings. Touques is a river in Normandy that flows into the sea." Most Norfolk Tookes would be more of local origin. There was a Toka/i "francigena" The Ketts of Norfolk, a yeoman family by Kett, Louisa Marion; Kett, George, 1836-1914 [https://archive.org/details/kettsofnorfolkye00kett] possibly foreigner (another word is used for Freeman, Frank, or Frenchman)", and his family who held numerous lordships PASE Domesday: Toki 11 Toki, antecessor of William de Warenne, fl. 1066 [http://domesday.pase.ac.uk/Domesday?op=5&personkey=38842] PASE Domesday: Godwine 384 Godwine son of Toki, fl. 1066x1086 [http://domesday.pase.ac.uk/Domesday?op=5&personkey=55457] of the manor in Norfolk in the reign of Edward the Confessor Wikipedia: Edward the Confessor [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_the_Confessor]. He was a freeman, i.e. was born outside of the feudal obligations of England. One Domesday Book (1086) reference is: “liber homo Stingandi Toka Francigine”. An Analysis of the Domesday Book of the County of Norfolk by George Munford [https://archive.org/details/ananalysisdomes01munfgoog] World Heritage Encyclopedia [http://central.gutenberg.org/article.aspx?articleid=0004692755&title=tuck%20(surname)] Toka held directly from Stigand, and Gyrth Godwinson, members of the Anglo-Saxon power structure (at it's end). Toka lost his position after the fall of the Anglo-Saxons at the Battle of Hastings. "Thorkettill" translating as "Thors cauldron" is a reference to the Norse myth that thunder was made by Thor riding around in a chariot full of kettles. The Mighty Thor, Part One [http://www.norsemyth.org/2010/04/mighty-thor-part-one.html] "According to Helene Adeline Guerber, "in Southern Germany the people, fancying a brazen chariot alone inadequate to furnish all the noise they heard, declared it was loaded with copper kettles, which rattled and clashed, and therefore often called him, with disrespectful familiarity, the kettle-vendor."". The Mighty Thor, Part One [http://www.norsemyth.org/2010/04/mighty-thor-part-one.html] Also in the Norse sagas there is a story in which Thor is looking for a "kettle large enough to brew ale for all the Æsir at one time.". Thor's Visit to Hymir [http://www.norron-mytologi.info/english/thorhymir.html] Even in Tolkien Took is mentioned. Bilbo Baggins, Frodo Baggins and Meriadoc Brandybuck are all descendants Wikipedia: Took clan [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Took_clan] of the Took line of the Thains Wikipedia: Thain (Middle-earth) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thain_(Middle-earth)] of the Shire. ===== Toka of Norfolk ===== ''The Ketts of Norfolk, a yeoman family'' The Ketts of Norfolk, a yeoman family by Kett, Louisa Marion; Kett, George, 1836-1914 [https://archive.org/details/kettsofnorfolkye00kett] suggests that the Ketts are descended from a Toka/i "francigena" and his family who held numerous lordships of the manor, in Norfolk in the reign of Edward the Confessor Wikipedia: Edward the Confessor [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_the_Confessor], as mentioned above. ''An Essay Towards A Topographical History of the County of Norfolk'' says that he was a Thane An Essay Towards A Topographical History of the County of Norfolk Volume 7: Gallow and Brothercross Hundreds: East Rudham [https://www.british-history.ac.uk/topographical-hist-norfolk/vol7/pp151-157]. A Thane was "a rank of nobility in pre-Norman England, roughly equivalent to baron.". Wiktionary: thane [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/thane] "The thanes in England were formerly persons of some dignity; there were two orders, the king's thanes, who attended the kings in their courts and held lands immediately of them, and the ordinary thanes, who were lords of manors and who had particular jurisdiction within their limits. […] After the [Norman] Conquest, this title was disused, and baron took its place.". 1852, Putnam's Home Cyclopedia: Hand-Book of Literature and the Fine Arts, p594 [https://play.google.com/books/reader?id=6ZsRAAAAIAAJ&printsec=frontcover&output=reader&hl=en&pg=GBS.PA594] =====More on Toka: Deep Ancestral History ===== "The Danish origin of the Ketts is indicated in the name of Godwin, and the pedigree goes back to him. Having regard to the date 1225, it would make 1140 a probable date for Godwin's birth. It seems unlikely that any documentary evidence now exists that will prove an earlier generation. We have Domesday compiled 1086. From the scarcity of surnames in that record no clear reference to the Ketts of East Anglia is forthcoming, but christian names similar to those of the earliest recorded members of the Kett family have been found. They have been abstracted from the Norfolk Domesday and closely analysed. It is worth noting that the association of one group of Godwins, Hughs, and Huberts indicates a probable derivation from Toka, a " francigena " or foreigner (another word is used for Frank or Frenchman).

The English surname Tuck is of patronymic origin, being one of those names that was based on the first name of the father. During the Middle Ages when the systems of surnames first developed, it was inevitable that children in the community would be known by their father’s name. In this case the name literally means “The son of Toke” Toke being a medieval personal name. In the Domesday Book of 1086 this first name was more generally rendered as Toka, hence this document mentions a “liber homo Stingandi Toka Francigine” (Toka the Frenchman) Records of this surname in England date back to the fourteenth century. The poll tax returns of Yorkshire, for example, mention a Thomas Tuke and a Johannes Tokson. In 1526 the Registers of the University of Oxford refer to one of their students as “Nicholas Toke, or Tocke, or Tuke which clearly indicates the various ways in which this surname can be rendered. Tuck is also linked further back than the fourteenth century as originating from Nordic, Icelandic and other island countries. This name has many variations through many different cultures that began between the 15th and 16th century. Included are Tuke, Tucka, Toke and Tuske. However, Tuck was primarily a name that began in Viking royalty and what was commonly referred to then as Cosmater as one of the last known Nordic leaders before the disbandment in 1372 A.D. Reaching the medieval periods in England it became more common as travel became less useful to the Nordic. Most of the remaining Nordic travelers found settlement in the English provinces and ended the Cosmatsership. Currently, the name Tuck has been expanded primarily into the common surname Tucker.Wikipedia: Tuck (surname) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuck_(surname)] === Tuck of Broad Hinton, Wiltshire === There were many Tucks in Broad Hinton parish, Wiltshire, in the 1600s and 1700s.

Individual [[#Research_Pages|studies]] can be used to branch out the research into specific methods and areas of interest, such as geographically (England Turrentine's), by time period (18th Century Turrentine's), or by topic (Turrentine DNA, Turrentine Occupations, Turrentine Statistics). These studies may also include a number of family branches which have no immediate link with each other. Some researchers may even be motivated to go beyond the profile identification and research stage to compile fully sourced, single-family histories of some of the families they discover through this name study project. Several people have been identified and entered into Wikitree as starting points for research.

The brothers arrived in Philadelphia, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, aboard the ship Kouli Kan, a brigantine. The Kouli Kan was “entered into the customs house in Philadelphia 14 November 1745.” The first record in America is when James Templeton took the brothers before James Hamilton, mayor of Philadelphia, and assigned their indentures for a period of 4 years. Alexander was assigned on 26 November 1745 to Neal McClaskey, and Samuel on 29 November to John Dicky, both of Chester County, Pennsylvania. {{Image|file=Turrentine-318.jpg |caption=Indenture of Alexander and Samuel }} In that document, the surname is spelt Torrentine. Most of the research that has been done on the Turrentine Family centers on the descendants of these two brothers. * Two earlier records have since been found in America for persons who may be related.

AFRICAN-AMERICAN TURRENTINES In 1860 census, 19 of 55 Turrentine households owned slaves. An attempt was made to locate each of these persons in the 1870 and 1880 census records to build their family trees. Only about 30 percent were found to have taken the Turrentine surname after emancipation. The family trees of these individuals are being built at this time. Please help us with this project.

According to a close family member, Edmund Tust stated that the name was longer in length before it was changed to Tust. I have not yet determined what that name was. They were Germans living in a Polish settlement. Edmund Tust was born in Zdunska Wola, Poland on 13 February 1891 to Edward Karl Thust and Amalia Julianna Hoppe. Amalia died 17 Mar 1917 in, Kalisz, Poland. She was found buried with her daughter Emma. Edward Karl died in 1951 in Islip, New York, USA. Edward and his sons were weavers. Zdunska Wola was known to be highly productive in the manufacturing of textiles. Edmund immigrated to Allentown, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania, USA, arriving at Ellis Island on 1 June 1913 . Edward Karl, his two other sons Arnold and Adolf and his daughters Irene and Olga arrived on November 1922. Edmund married Rosina Mulczet from Kleinmurbisch, Austria. They both lived in Allentown, Pennsylvania, United States for the remainder of their lives. == Task List == Finding birth, death and marriage records. Translation of documents.

[[Category:Tye Name Study]] [[Category:One Name Studies]] [[Category:DNA Projects]] Possible origins of some of the Tye families of Oglethorpe, Clarke and Morgan Counties, Georgia in the early 1800's. Also included is information of the Tye families that settled in S.E. Georgia at Quitman, Randolph and Stewart Counties. Please keep in mind that this is just a study and there may be many misconceptions here. Hopefully it has uncovered some of the puzzles re. these particular Tye relationships and origins. Future research will undoubtedly provide much more information to help fill in the remaining blanks. By Lois Eggers -January 2008 Up until this time it seems there has been somewhat of a puzzle as to the origin(s) and particular relationships of the Tye families that arrived from Virginia to live in Oglethorpe County, Ga. and in adjoining Clarke County and Morgan County in the early 1800's. This study is an attempt to understand how these Tyes from various areas of Virginia began to congregate here at about the same time. In fact they all seem to be descendants of about four Tyes whose births were fairly close together. These were JOHN TYE b.c.1762, ESTHER TYE b.c.1763-1770, HENRY TYE b.1764, THOMAS TYE b.c.177. I believe these to be siblings and possible children of Anderson Tye b.1741 who was a son of Allen Tye. Family groups tended to stay together, especially when planning a move to parts still rather wild and somewhat unknown. The following is an attempt to learn the various relationships of these Tyes, if any, to one another. The above named Tyes seem to fit within the years when the known sons of Allen Tye were born in Prince George County, Va. One son of Allen's was Anderson Tye. His birth in 1741 is about all that has been found. However it is known that Allen Tye owned land in the areas around the Tye River, including some at Buckingham County, Va. which he sold not too long before 1767 according to Buckingham County records. Allen also was said to have had property and possibly lived in Albermarle County, Va. It is possible that Allen may have reared some of his family, including Henry, there or in nearby areas of Virginia. Or perhaps Anderson Tye had moved away from Prince George County when he was out on his own and had a family living somewhere around the Tye river area. Henry Tye may have been born there and not in Culpeper County, but he did live in Culpeper County by the 1780's. The other sons known of Allen Tye were Solomon and William. Neither of them seem to have been in Culpeper County, but rather were living in Prince George County and Dinwiddie County in the late 1700's and then most of them or their children moved south into North Carolina and Tennessee. There were possibly two other sons of Allen. One may have been Lambeth or Lambert Tye who was probably named after Allen's father. We don't know much about this Lambeth, except he seems to have been the one to handle the estate of his father. Dinwiddie County Fee Book of 1763, p. 66 Mary Tye and Lambeth Tye, executors of Allen Tye dec'd. The other possible son was John Granger Tye whom some say was a son of John Tye of Baltimore, Md. But he could very well have been another son of Allen's. John G. Tye does not appear to have been in Virginia, after c.1765-70. By then he was in the western counties of NC in what was to become the new state of Tennessee. The following is a time line with some added notes of the Tyes that settled in Oglethorpe County, Georgia and nearby Clarke County and Morgan County, Ga. Some seem to fit into fairly easily defined family relationships. Others, especially Henry Tye and his sons, Henry and James don't seem to relate to the others as easily. Yet they all have chosen the same area of Georgia to begin their new lives at around the same time. Four probable siblings who may be children of Anderson Tye b.1741 #1 c.1763-1770 Esther Tye was born in Virginia. She married Ed Maxey in Buckingham County, VA. Their son Josiah married Elizabeth Tye b.c. 1792 who was a daughter of John Tye b.c. 1762 who lived in Franklin County, Va. Elizabeth and Josiah Maxey moved to Clarke County, Ga. in the early 1800's where they spent the rest of their lives. . #2 c.1764 birth of Henry Tye who lived at Culpeper County, Va. . (Sometimes confused with his son, Henry b.c.1782.) 1764 Henry's Tye's Birth in Virginia. (Record submitted after 1991 by a member of the LDS Church.) c.1781 Henry marries his first wife. Name (unk.) c.1782--'85 Henry's sons Henry and James are born. 1783 Henry Tye on tax list of Culpeper County, Virginia . List of French Strother, Gent. Between 1785-1798 Henry's wife and mother of Henry and James seems to have died. Between 1796 and 1799 Henry may have married again. This wife would have been born about 1780. She was probably the mother of the rest of his children, including Jobe, John, Samuel and three daughters that are known, Sarah W., Ann and Mary. 1800 Jobe Tye is born about this time to Henry and his second wife in Culpeper, Va. c.1807 Ann F. Tye born VA. to Henry. She married John C. Hasborough who was an attorney (age 43 in 1850) in Culpeper County, VA. Ann was about 43 in 1850. Ann stayed in Virginia c.1810 Sarah W. Tye b. in Culpeper, Va. to Henry. Sarah stayed in Culpeper and married Peter Hansbrough Nov.5, 1835 1812. Henry Tye is mentioned in the Culpeper County, Virginia Deed Book FF page 49 Book GG p. 164 29 Jan. 1812. Posted by philly330@verizon.net & Cathy S. Phillips Posted: 9 Jan 2007 Elkins c.1818 John Tye born to Henry in Culpeper, Va. c.1819 Samuel Tye born to Henry in Culpeper, Va. c.1822 Mary Tye b. Va. to Henry and is shown to be age 28 in the 1850 census. She lives in Culpeper Va. and is listed living next door to John C. Hansborough age 43 who is a lawyer & Farmer 13,000. B.VA His wife is Ann F. age 35. Son Burgess is 16, Bettie is 8, Nelly is 5. All born VA. Mary may be sister of Ann. CENSUS YR: 1850 STATE: Virginia COUNTY: Culpeper REEL NO: M432-941 PAGE NO: 249B REFERENCE: Enumerated on September 28, 1850 by J.M. Broadus, Ass't. Marshal. Between 1822 and 1829 Henry Tye died. He would have been somewhere between the age of 58 and 65. #3 c.1762 John Tye born who lived in Franklin County, Va. John Tyre/Tye is listed in Franklin County on the 1786 personal property tax list. His daughter, Elizabeth, was born 1792 and married Josiah Maxey, son of Esther and Ed Maxey who were from Buckingham County, Va. Elizabeth was Esther's neice as well as her daughter-in-law. John had another daughter, Patsy Tye, who married Thomas Cousins on December 19, 1809 in Clarke County, Georgia. It seems probable that John was the father of several of the Tyes that left Va. and ended up in the Southern Georgia counties of Randolph, Stewart, Quitman and the nearby Alabama counties of Henry and Bullock. Again there is the movement of groups of family members who remain living close together in their new environments. These Tyes were likely the brothers : John Tye b.1782 married Penelope Butler and first went to SC but later moved his family to Randolph and then Stewart Counties, Ga. John and Penelope had sons: John Henry Tye b. SC, 1813 and Reubin Tye b. SC 1817. Both settled in Stewart County, Ga. for a few years. Francis Marion Tye born 1790's and lived in Randolph County Ga. Francis’ wife was Georgia Mills. They had son: James Tye b.c. 1819. Thomas Tye b.c. 1795 married Frances "Fannie" Maxey. They first lived in Clarke County, Ga. but spent most of their lives in Stewart County, Ga. #4 c.1770-1775 Thomas Tye born, Va.. Thomas married Nancy whose maiden name is not known. Thomas and Nancy were in Ogelthorpe County, Ga. living with Samuel Tye in 1820. No records have been found to indicate when Nancy and Thomas Tye arrived in Georgia or where in Virginia they had lived previously. Thomas and Nancy were born c.1770 so they could have been the parents of Samuel Tye b.c. 1788. There is also a John Tye b.c. 1800 who could be son of Thomas and Nancy and a brother to Samuel. (See census reports of these families below.) -------------------------------------------- Children of Elizabeth, John, Henry and Thomas Through the Years. James Tye c.1780's born to Henry b.1764 in Culpeper, Va. James married Frankie Collins in 1801 while still in Virginia. He had moved to Oglethorpe County, Ga. before 1811 when his name first shows there and then he was found living with his family in Morgan County, Ga. He appears to have had two sons, Daniel Tye and John H. Tye who married Juliann Hall in 1832. James was killed in 1842 in Morgan County, Ga.

No more has been found yet of Daniel Tye. He was born c.1802 or earlier. He was probably son of James Tye b.c. 1781 who married Frankie Collins in 1801 while living in Culpeper, Va. Daniel may have been born in Culpeper and then lived in Oglethrope County, Ga. before James moved to Morgan County, Ga. The only other Daniel Tye found was born about the same time and was living in Jones County, Ga. But they may be different persons. 1832 John H. Tye married Juliann Hall Dec 27th. at Walton County, Ga. John was probable son of James Tye and Frankie Collins Tye. Walton County is just west of Morgan Countyhttp://www.usgennet.org/usa/ga/county/fulton/walton/waltonmarriages.pdf Transcribed by Margie Daniels. . 1839 John H Tye is listed on the Georgia: Morgan County Tax Digest Tye, John H. http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ga/morgan/taxlists/1839.txt 1842 John Tye is listed on the Georgia Morgan County 1842 Tax Digest Tye, John p.78 http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ga/morgan/taxlists/1842.txt 1842 Tye, James H.(age unk.) /Morgan Co./ Newspaper S Misc/ Date 7/30 Year 1842 Page 3 Column 1 First word of article, Killed.

This younger Henry died between 1812 and c.1820 in Morgan County, Ga. after having married Sarah/Sally Radford in Oglethorpe County, Ga.in 1807. Henry married Sally/Sarah Radford in 1807 at Oglethorpe County, Ga.

Henry and Sarah settled in Morgan County Georgia which adjoins Oglethorpe County. They don't appear to have had any children.They were living close to Sarah's parents. "Sarah was daughter of Reuben Radford b: Abt. 1755 Va d: Abt. 1820 in Morgan, Georgia + Elizabeth Hackworth b: Abt. 1756 Va d: Abt. 1859, Perry, Alabama m: Abt. 1772 Va." http://members.aol.com/stjones/maxey/maxey7gn.txt 1810 & 1812 Henry Tye b.c, 1782 is on the tax lists of the years 1810 and 1812 in Morgan County Ga..

Sarah, his widow, remarried. Her first child with her second husband was James Bennett b.c.1824. ---------------------------------------------------- Samuel Tye was most likely born 1788-1790 in Va. to Thomas Tye and Nancy, both b.c. 1770. Samuel shows up in the census of 1820 at Oglethorpe, Ga as head of a household including Nancy and Thomas Tye who are probably his parents. He continues to live in Oglethorpe County through 1840. Then he and other family members move on to Murray County, Ga. His various census reports are shown below. --------------------------------------------------- Jobe Tye probably born c. 1800 at Culpeper County, Va . Jobe's parents seem to be Henry Tye b. 1764 and Henry's second wife. Jobe shows up just once in the 1830 census of Oglethorpe County. He has a wife and two daughters at that time and also has an older female and her boys living with his family. She is most likely his mother, second wife of Henry Tye b. 1764, who is now a widow with two more sons to raise. View more re. Jobe in the 1830 census below. ----------------------------------- Elizabeth Tye was born 1792 to John Tye at Franklin County, Va. She may have had brothers, Thomas Tye born c.1793- 1795, Francis Marion Tye b.1790's, John Tye b.1782, and a sister, Patsy Tye, who married Thomas Cousins December 19, 1809 in Clarke County, Georgia. Elizabeth and Josiah Maxey married in 1810 and moved to Clarke County, Ga. Nancy Tye Maxey married Jesse E. Butler Jan. 20, 1834 in Clarke Cty. Ga. She was one of the children of Eliz. and Josiah Maxey. --------------------------------------------------- Thomas Tye was born 1793-1795. Thomas is probably the son of John Tye b.c. 1762. He lived for a while in Clarke County, Ga. near John's daughters, Elizabeth and Patsy. They were likely his sisters. He married Frances "Fannie" Maxey in 1816, daughter of John Maxey of Bedford County, Va. Later Thomas and Fannie moved south to Stewart County, Ga. where a number of other Tye cousins had settled. ----------------------------------- John Tye was born in Va.about.1800. This John could be a son of Thomas Tye and Nancy. In the census of Oglethorpe, Ga 1820 there were two young males shown living with Samuel Tye and Nancy and Thomas Tye. One of those males has not been identified. His age ranged from 16-25. One of the boys was probably Job, son of Samuel. His age range was shown to be from 16-18. The other boy may be John. In about 1800, when John was born, Nancy would have been about 30, so could easily have had another child at that time. For some reason John doesn't seem to be on the 1830 census but he appears for the 1840 census with his family. He must have left Samuel's home soon after the 1820 census, married and started his own family. By 1840 or shortly thereafter most of this part of the Tye family had moved to Murray County, Georgia, including John. 1840 census John Tye MURRAY COUNTY GA DISTRICT 824 (Series: M704 Roll: 47 Page: 272) John Tye has 1 male 0-5 b. 1835-1840, 1 male 20-30 born 1820-1830 , 1 male 30-40 b.1800-1810, female 0-5, 1 female 10-15 b. 1825- 1830, 1 female 30-40 b. 1800-1810. Four children: Son under 5 and son b.c. 1820-1830, daughter under 5, daughter .b.c 1825-1830. There is a Samuel Tye born in 1825 who was at school in Oglethorpe County in 1835. He might possibly be a son of this John who shows a boy that age living with him in 1840. If this is John's son,it would show that John was living in Oglethorpe County in the 1830's. From the Oglethorpe County Poor School Fund Names of eligible Children for children whose parents were unable to pay tuition. (Wolfskint is SW of Lexinton in Oglethorpe County GA.) This could be a possible daughter of John's. c.1821 Jane Tye born. In 1835 she was 14 and in school at Falling Creek District of GA.From the Oglethorpe County Poor School Fund Names of eligible Children for children whose parents were unable to pay tuition. This is only girl on the list of children from Falling Creek School that doesn't seem to fit any family. The closest one would be here, as a daughter of John. Her birth date of c. 1821 is too early to fit the census age given for John's daughter, but otherwise she just might be his daughter with a mistaken age listed --------------------------------------------------------- Job Tye born in Va 1803-1809 to Samuel Tye b.c. 1788. Census of 1820 shows a male that must be Job living with Samuel. Also in 1850 he lives next to Samuel in Murray County, Ga. However, If Job was born in 1803, as some have said, it makes Samuel very young to have been his father at about age 15. Job's birth date is shown as 1809 on his gravestone. Job's mother is not shown in the 1820 census so it seems she died before then. Job married Nancy McCarthy and eventually moved to Arkansas. Marriage date for Job and Nancy McCarthy Tye is 1826. Job Tye was born in Virginia. The census of 1850 shows him to be 47 years of age at that time, so he was born about 1803 if the info. is correct. Job was living with Samuel Tye, his probable father, in 1820 at Oglethorpe County, Ga. Also living with this family were Nancy and Thomas Tye. They were most likely Job's grandparents. Job married Nancy McCarty and moved to Murray County, Ga.some time after he won in the Georgia Land Lottery. Later he moved to Arkansas. Lucy Jane Tye b. 1848, a cousin of Job, noted that Job was a grandson of a Thomas Tye who had settled in Lexington, Georgia. Children of Job and Nancy Tye were: Nancy Ann b.1836, John Samuel b.1840, Thomas J. b.1842, Georgia Ann b.16 Jun 1848, and Henry Miller b.1850. Job was living with his probable father, Samuel in the 1820 census. Job's birth was thought to be 1809, as that is date on his gravestone but other sources like this census indicate 1803. Job's marriage date of 1826 seems to be too early. The date of 1835 for his marriage seems to fit much better when compared to the birth of his children and the age of Nancy at that time. But there is a marriage record of 1826. Job's father seems to have been Samuel Tye from Samuel's first marriage to (unk.) I wonder if the census taker or someone transcribing the census mistook Job's age shown as 47 from age 41. It would be easy to do. If that is what happened, the date of Job's and Mary's marriage would make more sense, in regards to her age, especially. And Job's birth in 1809 would fit Samuel's age much better too. ----------------------------------------- c. 1807 Ann F. Tye born c. 1807 in Va. Census of 1850, Culpeper County Va. shows she married John C. Hansborough who was an attorney age 43. Ann stayed in Virginia. She must have been daughter of Henry Tye b.1764 and his second wife. She was probably a sister of Sarah W. Tye and Mary Tye, who lived close to or with her. ----------------------------------------------- c. 1810 Sarah W. Tye born c. 1810 in Va. Census of 1850, Culpeper County Va. shows she married Peter Hansborough and stayed in Virginia. Her father must have been Henry Tye b. 1764. She was probably sister of Ann F. Tye and Mary Tye. Peter & Sarah had a dau. Sarah F. b abt 1842 in Culpeper who married Edward Bates son of James Lyle & Mitalda Bates. ----------------------------------------------------- John Tye b.c. 1818 in Culpeper, Va. to Henry Tye b. 1764 and his second wife. In 1835-'36 he was going to school and living with his older brother, Jobe Tye in Oglethorpe, County Ga. along with his widowed mother and his brother, Samuel. Nothing more is known of him at this time. -------------------------------------------------------- Samuel Tye b.c. 1819 in Culpeper, Va. to Henry Tye b. 1764 and his second wife. In 1835-'36 he was going to school and living with his older brother, Jobe Tye in Oglethorpe, County Ga. along with his widowed mother and his brother, John. Nothing more is known of him at this time. ------------------------------------------------------------Samuel Tye 1820 census GA OGLETHORPE COUNTY (Series: M33 Roll: 7 Page: 178) 1 male 16-18, 1 male 16-25, 1 male 26-44 , a male 45+ / 1 female 45+ Samuel would be about age 32. If the 1850 census is correct his birth was c.1788. The older male and female could be his parents who were born 1775 or earlier. The family remembered that an elder Thomas Tye and wife, Nancy, lived with Samuel. If Samuel was born c. 1788, he could have been their son, born about the time Thomas was 17-18 with his birth being about 1770. This fits the census report. One of the two boys shown was probably Job Tye b.c. 1803-1809 to Samuel and his first wife who remains unknown. Samuel is shown as single. There may have been another son of Thomas and Nancy. The 1840 census of Murray County shows a John Tye who was born about 1800. He is not in another census but he could have been another son of Samuel's but he could well have been another son of Nancy and Thomas. Nancy was only in her 30's in 1800. By the time of the 1830 census, this John would have been out on his own. In fact he had his own son about 1820 or so. So he may have married shortly after this 1820 census and moved elsewhere for a while. Then, after 1840 his name disappears from the records found so far. Lucy Jane Tye b.1848 was a cousin of Job's and noted that Job was a grandson of a Thomas Tye who had settled in Lexington, Oglethorpe County, Georgia. This would fit if Job was son of Samuel Tye, as Thomas would have been Job's grandfather. ------------------------------------------- c.1822 Mary Tye was born c.1822. She was 28 years old and living in Culpeper County, Va. for the 1850 census. She was living next to John C. Hansborough age 43 who was a lawyer & Farmer born in VA. His wife was Ann F. age 35. Son Burgess 16, Bettie 8, Nelly 5. All born in VA. Mary was probably a sister of Ann F. Tye Hansborough. Mary and Ann's father must have been Henry Tye b. 1764 in Culpeper County, Va.CENSUS YR: 1850 STATE: Virginia COUNTY: Culpeper REEL NO: M432-941 PAGE NO: 249B REFERENCE: Enumerated on September 28, 1850 by J.M.

Annette Hudson Rose http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ga/oglethorpe/census/1830/1830cens.txt Samuel is 30-40 b.1791-1800 and he has two males under age 5 b. 1826-1830, one female age 5-9 b. 1821-1825 one female 30-40 b.1791-1800 and one female 70-80 b.1751-1760. He has one female slave age under 10 b.1821 1829 Note: There are 2 census reports for Samuel in 1830. One lists him as a Tye and the other as a Tie. The Tye one shows a daughter age 0-4, the Tye one shows a daughter age 5-9. We believe there were two daughters born by 1830, Jane and Mary S. So somehow one got left out of each report and each gives a different age for the one listed! Samuel Tye has married Elizabeth. He lost his first wife, mother of his son, Job. He and Elizabeth now have twin sons b.1830. The twins are Thomas Tye and Samuel Miller Tye. They have a daughter Jane Tye b. 1821, daughter, Mary S. Tye born before 1830 who married Martin Posey Berry. Samuel also has an older female living with his family. She was born 1751-1760. She may be a relative of Elizabeth's and she would be 70-80 years old. This lady is too old to be Nancy, wife of Thomas Tye. Nancy and Thomas were both living with Samuel in 1820 and seem to have been his parents. If Samuel was born c. 1788, he could have been their son born about the time Thomas was 17-18 with his birth being about 1770. The 1820 census shows Nancy and Thomas were b. between 1770-1780. They may have died between 1720 and 1730 as they don't show up again. Samuel must have married the first time by 1802-1808 to the mother of his son, Job. She must have died before the mid-twenties. He then married Elizabeth in the mid to late 1820's. Job was out of the home by now. Samuel b.c. 1788. if ages are given correctly from the 1840 and the 1850 census reports. These were twins born to Samuel Tye who was b.c.1788 1830 Thomas Tye Birth: March 13, 1830. He may have married Rebecca D. 1830 Samuel Miller Tye. Samuel was born March 13,1830 & died July 25, 1863 ------------------------------------------------------------ Jobe Tye 1830 census of Oglethorpe Co. GA Capt. Walker's District page 94 Submitted by E. Annette Hudson Rose http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ga/oglethorpe/census/1830/1830cens.txt Jobe Tye has one male 10-15 b. 1816-1820 and one male 15-20 b. 1811-1815 and one male 20-30 b. 1801-1810. and two females under 5 and one female 20-30 b. 1801-1810 and one female 40-50 b. 1780-1790. 3 male slaves under 10 b. 1821-1829 and 1 female slave under 10 b. 1821-1829, one female slave 36-55 b. 1776-1794. Finding the parents of Jobe has been difficult. It was hard to place him in the Tye families of Oglethorope County, Ga. where he was living in 1830. There was only this one census to provide information about his children and the others living with him. It turned out that some of the children going to school in 1835-1836 in Oglethorpe County could not be attached to any of the County families until the ages of Jobe's children were found to fit at least two of them. They were Mourning Tye and Nancy Tye. Next there was the puzzle of the older female living with them and with two boys that couldn't be sons of Jobe, as he was too young to be their father. The older female was old enough to be the mother of Jobe. Evidently she was a widow with two sons. Checking the list once again of children going to school in Oglethorpe County, there were two Tye males who fit the ages of the two boys, sons of the widow Tye. They were Samuel Tye b. 1718 and John Tye b. 1719. But there still was no mention of their father or where the boys and their mother had lived before coming to Oglethorpe County. Who was their father? There were two options to consider. This Tye male must have died 1829 or before. His widow was born between 1780-1790. Her husband must have been born at least by then and probably earlier. It was clear that Jobe did not fit as a son of Thomas and Nancy Tye or of Samuel Tye, who already had a son named Job. And he didn't seem to have any close relationship to the Clarke County Tyes. That left the family of Henry Tye b.1764 to consider. There was a problem trying to fit Jobe's probable mother into Henry's family as she was born 1780-1790 according to the census of 1830. If she was the mother of Jobe she would have been born close to the 1780 date. It seemed possible that this widow Tye could have been married to an unknown son of Henry Tye b.1764. But there was no indication of another son born along the way that would account for the birth of these children. It could also be that the elder Henry was her husband. Examining the known births of Henry's family, there was a long stretch between the early births of James and Henry to that of Jobe's. Sons and daughters were born from about 1782 to 1822. That seemed to suggest that Henry had been married early and had sons, Henry and James. Then their mother died. About 1798 or so, Henry married again. This second wife, who would have been much younger than Henry, would become the mother of Jobe in 1800 and then several other children. The names of these children were listed in Culpeper County census reports and it was evident that somehow they belonged to Henry's family. Now it seems fairly certain, that these were all children of Henry Tye born 1764 and that his widow was living with their son Jobe in Georgia where she had come after Henry's death. No other record of Jobe has been found as yet. Jobe would have been about 30 years old in 1830 and must have arrived in Ga. from Culpeper, Va. between the 1820 and the 1830 census. This combined family was probably having a hard time financially as they were receiving funds from the County to pay for the tuition of the four children. These are probably the two daughters of Jobe and his second wife whose name is unknown: Nancy Tye who was b.c. 1824-25. In 1835 age 10-11 and in school at Falling Creek District GA. and Mourning Tye who was b.c.1824-25. In 1835 age 10-11 and in school at Falling Creek District GA. (From the Oglethorpe County Poor School Fund Names of eligible Children for children whose parents were unable to pay tuition.) Below are the two boys who are likely younger brothers of Jobe, both sons of Henry Tye b.1764. John Tye b.c. 1818. In 1835 he was age 17 and at school at Falling Creek District of GA.

To connect as many family branches to each other as possible, and to connect all branches to the One Family Tree of WikiTree. ==Challenge== I'm new to the One Name Study projects, but when I researched sources for Ulmer, I found 8,066 Ulmer entries on www.findagrave.com. It seems to me if we can start putting those Ulmer profiles on Wikitree, we'd have a pretty good start! As of today (12/24/2022) there are only 773 Ulmer profiles on Wikitree, so there is plenty of work to be done! As you enter the profiles on Wikitree, please remember that findagrave is not always reliable because the data is user-entered. Please do your best to add sources that substantiate the data that you are entering, especially relationships. If you aren't able to verify a relationship with another source, enter the relative as an individual and add a research note to say that findagrave believes that the person is a child or spouse or sibling of the other person (include their wiki ID). If you are new to Wikitree, be sure to learn about the Sourcer browser extension!

As one might expect, this is a rare name, both in Germany and the U.S. (just 155 occurrences in the 2010 U.S. census). It appears to have originated in the Meiningen region (specifically Walldorf and Wallbach) of Theuringia, Germany (central Germany, just inside the old border for East Germany). It has been suggested that the name originally meant Hungarian (Ungarisch in modern German dialect), but that's probably wishful thinking. '''Similar names''': There are several very similar names, none of them common, and apparently '''all are unrelated''': * ''Ungerechts'' (with an s) are in western Germany, near Dusseldorf; * ''Ungericht'' is southwest of Stuttgart; * [[Space:Ungerich_Name_Study|''Ungerich'']] is found just northwest of Mannheim, Germany; * ''Ungricht'' name shows up in Switzerland. There is no known connection between any of these surnames and the Ungerecht clan. However, some of the older documents in Meiningen suggest that our Ungerecht ancestors sometimes did have an 's' at the end ("Ungerechts"). That spelling did not seem to survive into the 19th century. (Side note: Google Translate converts ''Ungericht'' to ''un-maybe'', whatever that means. Is it "maybe not" or is it "definitely"?) == Locations == === Germany === The Ungerecht family name in Germany originated in Saxony, in the small towns of Walldorf and Wallbach. Some moved to Helba, now part of the larger town of Meiningen. This is northeast of Frankfurt, pretty much right in the middle of modern day Germany (see map), a largely rural area in the Thuringian forest. Walldorf, Wallbach and Helba are all less than 5 kilometers (3 miles) from each other. There is a document listing all emigrants from the Meiningen area during the 19th centuryAuswanderungen aus dem herzogtum Sachsen-Meiningen Emigrants from Saxon-Meiningen. Some of the emigrants were moving to neighboring provinces, some to areas of Russia, but most were going to the U.S., mostly from 1850 to 1890. There are 20,000 names in the document, and twelve of those have Ungerecht surnames. Keep in mind, this is the one little area of Germany from where the Ungerecht name originates, so if even this area has only twelve out of 20,000, it shows how rare the name really is. * 1845: '''Caroline''', age 21 from Jüchsen, destination not given (possibly moving to a nearby province for marriage) * 1854: [[Ungerecht-40|Christian]], day laborer, age 34, from Ritschenhausen; '''Friedrich''', from Neubrunn; '''Katharina Margaretha''', age 36 from Ritschenhausen; all going to America * 1858: [[Ungerecht-52|Louise]], age 18 from Wallbach to America * 1864: [[Ungerecht-23|Carl]], age 7; [[Wirthwein-27|Eva Margarethe]], age 59; [[Erbe-31|Eva Margarethe]], age 30; [[Ungerecht-51|Friedrich]], farmer, age 40; [[Ungerecht-9|Georg]] age 4; [[Ungerecht-28|Johann]], age 75; [[Ungerecht-21|Valtin]] an accountant, age 45; all from Helba going to America. Although all come from about a ten kilometer (6 mile) radius from downtown Meiningen, a common ancestry is not known. Wallbach and Helba are in the north part of this circle, while Ritschenhausen and Neubrunn are in the southeast. The 1864 group includes the family of Valentine (Valtin), Eva Margaretha (who should actually be 40, not 30) and their two kids, Carl and George and grandfather Johannes and his second wife Eva (age 59). They went to Caledonia, just south of Milwaukee, see below. Louise, who emigrated in 1858, is a sister to Friedrich and a cousin to the younger Eva Margarethe. '''A new wrinkle:''' There are at least two cases where an Ungerecht outside of the Meiningen district immigrated to the U.S. * [[Ungerecht-60|Phillip Ungerecht]] arrived in 1852 with his family (wife Elizabeth, children Augusta, Lewis/Louis and young women, perhaps daughters Louise and Elisabeth), coming from Baden, Germany, settling in Albany, NY. Is he actually from the ''Ungericht'' family? * [[Ungerecht-62|Franz Ungerecht]] who shows up on a ship passenger list (landed in New York in 1872), but nothing more is known about him at this time. Today, most U.S. states have at least an Ungerecht descendant, if not the Ungerecht name. So far, they can all be traced back to one of three known locations where their ancestor settled after immigration: === The Milwaukee Ungerecht clan === The family of [[Ungerecht-21|Valentin]] Ungerecht left Germany (Prussian Saxony at the time) in 1864. They arrived as an extended family, and settled in Caledonia, just south of Milwaukee. Valentin's in-laws (the [[Erbe-35|Georg Erbe family]]) had previously arrived here and Valentin bought a farm close to theirs. One son stayed there (the farm stayed in the family for over 100 years) and the other son moved to Glen Ullin, North Dakota. The North Dakota branch further divided into families living in Minnesota and Washington state, with at least a few going to Alaska. === The Indiana/Tennessee Ungerecht clan === [[Ungerecht-40|Christian]] and Katharina came from Ritschenhausen in 1854 (apparently with two daughters who weren't listed). Christian and his mother, Eva nee' Vogel share a lonely gravestone (in good condition) on a family cemetery in Indiana, close to the Ohio River. No idea where Katharina went to. They have several children, including [[Ungerecht-36|Louis Martin]], born 1857 and [[Ungerecht-44|Henry]], born 1859 in Indiana. Louis Martin stays in Indiana while Henry moves to Tennessee and has seven kids. Some moved on to Texas and Louisiana. === The Albany, NY Ungerecht clan === [[Ungerecht-60|Philip Ungerecht]] and family left Baden (Bavaria) Germany in 1852, settled in Albany where his two children and at least four grandchildren lived. This Ungerecht family might not be related to the Meiningen Ungerecht families. ==Research Pages== Here are some of the current research pages included in the study.

Often with several spellings of the name, including Airchart-dan, Urchoden, Urchardan, Urchadainn, de Urchard, Orchoden, de Urquhartt, Urquhard, Urchard, Hurchard, Wrghward and Wruhurt. Urquhart was most certainly, originally a place-name, as early members of the family were often described as "de Urquhart." There are several place-names. [[Wikipedia:Urquhart Castle| Urquhart Castle]] on [[Wikipedia:Loch Ness|Loch_Ness]] in the [[Wikipedia:Scottish Highlands|Scottish Highlands]], the parish of [[Wikipedia:Urquhart,_Moray|Urquhart]] near Elgin, where there was a Priory. and [[Wikipedia:Urquhart_and_Logie_Wester|Urquhart Parish]] in the [[Wikipedia:Ferintosh_Black_Isle|Black Isle]]. There is also a place of the name in [[Wikipedia:Urquhart_(surname)|Fife]] *Urquhart, A fairly common place name occurring 12th - 14th century, as Urchard. Also seen as Airchartan, The Urquharts of Cromarty, who began as the head of the family, owned the greater part of the shire in the Black Isle and also property in Ross, Inverness, Aberdeen, Nairn, Moray and Banff shires. The office of Hereditary Sheriff of the shire of Cromarty was vested in them from the days of Robert the Bruce, and they possessed the "privilege of Admiralty" along the eastern coast of Scotland from Caithness to Inverness. The Urquhart family held the Sheriffship almost uninterrupted from 1357 until 1747 when because of the [[Wikipedia:Jacobite Risings| Jacobite Risings]], heritable jurisdictions were abolished. {| border="2" cellpadding = "8" ! align="center" style="background:#B0C4DE;"|The Urquhart Family Hierachy. {| border="1" cellpadding = "4" ! align="left" style="background:#d0e3fd;"|Line Link. ! align="left" style="background:#d0e3fd;"|Facts. |- |align="left" style="background:#F0FFFF;"|The Start||align="left" style="background:#F0FFFF;"|The Urquhart Family begins in the 13th century with the first Hereditary Sheriff's of Cromarty, found in documents of the period. :The first to have taken this surname appears to be [[Urquhart-719|WIlliam Urquhart]] and the first recorded charters are dated in 1338 and 1349 in favour of [[Urquhart-718|Adam Urquhart]] who is also listed in the first volume of the Register of the Great Seal. vis, :de officero vicecomitis de Crumberthe," dated 18th November 1358. |- |align="left" style="background:#F0FFFF;"|[[Space:Urquhart_Sheriff%27s_of_Cromarty|Cromarty]]||align="left" style="background:#F0FFFF;"|[[Urquhart-33|Thomas Urquhart of Fischerie, Laird of Cromarty]] :Thomas Urquhart who married Helen Abernethy, famous for apparently having 25 sons and 11 daughters, from whom the Meldrum, Craigston and Davidston branches descend.

He was probably born about 1550-60 and died at Eiserfeld prior to 1599, the special tax list in this year mentioning a debt owed to Johann Otterbach's heirs.

The 1714 Colony from the Siegerland, settled first at Fort Germanna then at Germantown in present day Fauquier County. Beginning in 1734 several members of the First Colony purchased land across the River from Germantown in the forks of the Rappahannock and Hazel Rivers. This land was located in present day Culpeper County and was purchased for speculation purposes and to encourage other Siegerländers to come to Virginia and purchase this land from their kinsmen. These later settlers became known as the Little Fork Group. Part of this group, also from Trupbach, was Herman/Harman's nephew, [[Otterbach-40|Johann Henrich Otterbach]] (b. 1698), great-nephew, also named [[Utterback-333|Johann Henrich Otterbach]] (b. 1714), and niece, Maria Clara (Otterbach) Noeh, and her family.

It lies about 7 km north of Amersfoort. Its territory comprises the original municipality of Bunschoten (created in 1204 by the bishop of Utrecht) and the former municipality of Duyst, De Haar and Zevenhuizen, which was a part of Hoogland from 1854 until 1971. Bunschoten was first named in 1294. It was located on the border between Utrecht and Guelders, and it suffered a number of times from invasions from Guelders. In 1383, the bishop of Utrecht gave Bunschoten city rights, which allowed the citizens to build an earthen wall around the town. The fortifications and a part of the town were destroyed at Christmas 1427 in a war between two rival bishops, and were never rebuilt.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bunschoten === Other === [[:Category: Van Bunschoten Cemetery, Poughkeepsie, New York|Van Bunschoten Cemetery, Poughkeepsie, New York]] [https://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=cr&CRid=66591 Find A Grave: Van Benschoten Cemetery, Delaware, New York, USA] [https://books.google.ca/books?id=j6ZYAAAAMAAJ&redir_esc=y Concerning the Van Bunschoten or Van Benschoten family in America: a genealogy and brief history by William Henry Van Benschoten] Van Wee Bin Jie d´r Één: De Bunschoter Families Van ca. 1600-1912, by J.H.M.

Gerrit Aalts en Geertie Kornelis. Netherlands, Gelderland Province, Church Records, 1405-1966, images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-99WK-54C8?cc=2038506&wc=SMH3-92N%3A1292637101%2C346632801%2C347605002 : 22 August 2014), Nederlands Hervormde > Nijkerk > image 164 of 1017; Gelders Archives, Arnhem. Geboortedatum is nie bekend nie. In 1671 het twee broers Dirk en Jakob van Nieukerk na die Kaap gekom in diens van die Hollands Oos-Indiese-Kompanjie. Hulle was vanaf Nijkerk, Gelderland, Nederland. Albei is later terug na Nederland, maar 'n seun (Cornelis) is agtergelaat. Dit is nie bekend wat sy familie verband met een of altwee van hulle was nie. Sy naam kom die eerste keer op die Muster Rolle voor as Cornelis Gerritsz (1692), maar verskyn die volgende jaar ten tyde van sy huwelik in 1693 in die kerkregisters as Cornelis Gerritsz van Nieukerk. Dit was egter gebruik om beide die name en plek van herkoms te stipuleer. So is sy vrou dus aangeteken as [[Van_Westhuijsen-2 | Maria van de Westhuijsen]] 'jongedoghter van de Caep de Goede Hoop; terwyl hyself as Cornelis Gerritsz van Nieukerk jonghman aangeteken is. Dit wil dus voorkom asof 'van Nieu(w)kerk' slegs n beskrywing van sy herkoms is en dat hy dit dus nog nie as sy van aangeneem het voor 1693 nie. In die Monsterrol van 1702 "Monsterrol van de vrije luijden opgemaaket 23 Januarij 1702, (Muster roll of the free settlers compiled 23 January 1702) is aangeteken: "''Cornelis Gerritsz van Nieuwkerken & Maria van der Westhuijsen 3 k.''" Dit is die eerste keer dat sy van aangeteken is as '"van Nieuwkerken'", en ook, die '"3 k'" dui daarop aan dat hulle 3 kinders op daardie stadium gehad het. ''the eGGSA Library, Muster Roll of 1702: Source: Cape Archives Verbatim Copies VC 50.The Muster Rolls (monsterrollen), preserved in the form of transcripts in the Cape Archives as VC 39-55 and 103, were apparently yearly lists of the inhabitants at the Cape, drawn up by Dutch East India Company (VOC) officials, and sent to the authorities in the Netherlands where they were preserved. These are copies done by hand at the end of the 19th Century (to judge from the handwriting), transcriber unknownl, presumably from the records preserved in the VOC archives at The Hague, Netherlands.''

== Van Wormer family in America == : The Van Wormer Family of Nieuw Nederlandt is among the oldest European families established in what today is the United States. The family was officially established in 1666 with the marriage of Annetje Janse Snediker van Oldenburgh and Laurens Janssen Van Wormer. The relocation of Laurens Janssen van Wormer from North Holland to North America was incidental to the establishment of the Dutch Colony of Nieuw Nederlandt. The earliest bloodlines to enter the family were in America by 1624, probably 1621 and perhaps before 1620. The Van Wormer family of Nieuw Nederlandt consists of at least two major lines of descent from Laurens Janssen van Wormer who may have resembled the "Dutch Uncle" portrayed in this wood engraving, after a painting by William Merritt Chase. Laurens came to America in 1659 to work as a cow herder and later a tenant farmer on the estate of Kiliaen Van Rensselaer on the upper Hudson River near Beverwyck, later Albany, New York. While Laurens is not referenced in lists of the First Settlers of Albany or New Amsterdam, he does appear in Ships Passenger Lists to New Netherland, New York 1624 to 1664 as “Laurens Janssen, from Wormer” on the ship "De Trouw” or “The Faith.” The ship was Captained by Jan Jansen Bestvaer and sailed from Amsterdam, Holland, the Netherlands on 12 February 1659 and arrived in New Amsterdam sometime before 5 May of the same year. Alternate spellings of Van Wormer include Van Wurmer and van Wurmdrick. Their documented use continued for five generations. jenwinters3 originally shared this at [http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/14458657/family/pedigree ancestry.com]. == Sources ==

"van der" means "of the" or "from the" in Dutch, and then "leest" can be translated as "last". This is based on a family story passed down from Henry VanderLeest to Steve VanderLeest. Another possible origin of the family name is based on a region called "leest". An area that was originally farmland near Veghel, Noord-Brabant, Netherlands was called "leest" and there are still residents in that neighborhood with the family name "van der leest". This is based on email correspondence from Kevin Van Der Leest, learned during his visit to Veghel and discussion with members of the local catholic church.

Two paternal haplogroups are shown: R-M269 and R-L21. But we have no idea who submitted these tests, or what their paper trail genealogy is to Vanover to confirm any lineage with any type of confidence. One male Vanover profile on 23andMe shows a paternal haplogroup of '''R-L21'''. However, there is no paper trail genealogy to confirm his lineage. More DNA test results need to be found to determine if this is the main paternal haplogroup for Vanover. Other R-L21 DNA resources: * https://www.familytreedna.com/groups/r-l21/about/background * https://www.geni.com/projects/R-L21-Y-DNA/3837 * https://www.yfull.com/tree/R-L21/ * https://www.academia.edu/24686284/The_phylogenealogy_of_R_L21_four_and_a_half_millennia_of_expansion_and_redistribution There is also a [https://dutchancestorline.blogspot.com/2019/11/van-middlesward-brokaw-van-voorhees.html blog post about Vanover DNA], referencing some tests that have been done. It indicates haplogroup R-L21. But again, nothing conclusive. === Melungeon Connection === See the [[Space:Melungeon_Roots|Melungeon Roots]] Project. There are some sources say that Vanover was one of the names that is found in Melungeon families. The academic paper, ''[https://jogg.info/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/71.006.pdf Melungeons, A Multi-Ethnic Population]'', outlines that Collins was a Melungeon family that was found in North Carolina, and specifically Ashe County, North Carolina (see p. 21 of that paper). The paper also stated that some of the Melungeon families then migrated into Kentucky. Ashe County, North Carolina is where a branch of the Vanover family was located. Here we have a [[Collins-5431|Nancy Collins]] marrying into the Vanover family. She was born in North Carolina, although we don't know exactly where, but it was likely in Ashe County. Her and her husband, [[Vanover-102|Daniel Vanover]], moved to Kentucky sometime, as she died in Letcher County, Kentucky. DNA testing will likely be required to test this theory. A more modern, or recent, connection is [[Vanover-662|Effie (Vanover) Goins]] (1929-2008), who married [[Goins-2849|Raymond Goins]], who may be a Melungeon descendant. See his ancestor, [[Goins-296|Isham Goins]]. More research on this line is needed. The notable military pilot, [[Powers-2148|Francis Gary Powers]], is said to have Melungeon roots. His great-great-grandparents are [[Vanover-42|Mary Rebecca Vanover]] and [[Mullins-679|Marhsall Solomon Mullins]]. Marshall's grandmother is [[Dameron-141|Nancy Dameron]]. Dameron is one of the surnames as potentially identified with the Melungeon families. However, Mary Rebecca Vanover's parents are uncertain. On the Find A Grave profile for her is this note: :''"In the book "The Vanover Family" by Gregory Lynn Vanover, P O Box 1192, Culpeper, VA 22701, on page 80, he has her listed 2 ways. He has her listed as the daughter of Cornelius VI and Sarah Hill AND as the daughter of '''Daniel Vanover''' and '''Nancy Collins'''. (Cornelius VI and Daniel were brothers, sons of Cornelius V). I am not sure who her parents were but currently have her listed as the daughter of Cornelius VI."'' (Emphasis mine.) If it is correct that Francis Gary Powers has Melungeon ancestry, then it makes more sense if Mary Rebecca Vanover's parents are Daniel Vanover and Nancy Collins. Collins is another Melungeon family name, even though we currently do not have her parents identified yet. That way it makes sense that Melungeon families are coming through both Mary Rebecca Vanover and her husband, Marshall Solomon Mullins, and their descendants. More research is needed to confirm. == Sources == One of the major genealogical sources for the Vanover family is a privately printed book by Gregory Lynn Vanover: * The Vanover Family: Descendants of Cornelys Van Hovgem of Flatbush, Kings County, Long Island, New York, by Gregory Lynn Vanover , First Edition, Privately Printed, 1989, Broadfoot Publishing Company, Rte 4, Box 508C, Wilmington NC 28405. * https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CS79-2HD3-J?i=368&cat=695249 ** 1832 Russell County, Virginia Personal Property Tax List, '''William Vanover''' * https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CS79-295G-Z?i=32&cat=695249 ** 1834 Russell County, Virginia Personal Property Tax List, '''William Vanover''', '''Samuel Vanover''' * https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CS79-295V-N?i=54&cat=695249 ** 1838 Russell County, Virginia Personal Property Tax List, '''William Vanover'''

[[Category:One Name Studies Project, Showcase]] [[Category:One Name Studies]] [[Category:Vantine Name Study]] [[Category:DNA Projects]] This One Name Study follows the descendants of [[Fonteyn-6 |Carel Fonteyn]] and Catharine de Baile. The name quickly changed to Vantine, Van Tine, Vantyne, and Vantyne. There are few families which have the Vantine surname which are not descended from them, most notably the Warren Vantine photography family of Massachusetts. However, they will be included in this study to help any researchers interested in those lineages. == But The Name's Spelled Wrong! == What has this to do with the Fonteyn (Van Tine, Van Tyne, etc.) family, you are certainly asking. The legal language of New Amsterdam was Dutch, but most people were illiterate in any language. Henry Fiske says in his ''Dutch and Quaker Colonies'' that there were at least 26 languages being spoken in a town with only about four thousand inhabitants. I have never found proof that Charles Fonteyn could read or write either French or Dutch, the one signature existing being his mark "X" only. Throughout these records, wild variations in spelling the name Fonteyn are evident. First Known Signature Mark 28 Jan 1666
{{Image|file=Van_Tine_Name_Study.gif |caption=Carel Fonteyn's Mark }} As Rosalie Fellows Bailey remarks in "Dutch Naming Systems": "In the seventeenth century, it was the custom of Dutch magistrates and scribes to translate foreign names into what they believed to be equivalent Dutch names and so enter them on the court records or other series of records kept in that language. If the foreign name was difficult to translate, the seventeenth century Dutch magistrate or scribe usually entered a phonetic approximation. Such might take the form of a Dutch name similar in sound to the foreign name, but often quite different in meaning; or the foreign name might merely be spelled phonetically by translating the sound of the name in letters as the Dutch pronounced their letters." Through my years of research on this family, I have discovered that the change from Fonteyn to Vantine follows many different paths. In the following chart, there are a few listed: Fontaine Fonteyn Vontine Vantine Van Tine Tine
Ffontaine Vonteyn Vantyne Van Tyne Tyne
Fantine Fontime Phantine
Fountin Fontijn Fanton
To further complicate matters, the name is frequently misspelled. Valentine, Vandine, Van Dyne, Van Line, or Van Fine are some of the many variations. It can be confused with the "real" Dutch names of Van Tyn and Van Tien. Given names suffered similar mistreatment as evidenced by the name Jacques Fonteyn. In the late 1780's, a perplexed tax enumerator in Adams County, Pennsylvania, scratched his head and gave it his best effort and listed Zwacks Vantine as a taxable male head of household. Rosalie Fellows Bailey also came to the same conclusion, "The Van Tyne or Vantine family of central New Jersey has a misleadingly Dutch connotation since the family is of French origin." As late as 1814, I have clear evidence that the family continued to use both variations of the name. The documents that I have which were signed by Cornelius Vantine to receive his War of 1812 land grant are clearly signed Cornelius Fantine in two separate places (I believe this to be John Vantine's, my third great grandfather's, brother--but no proof). The early tax and church records of Dutchess County use many variations of Fonteyn/Vantine. The only clear exception is William Vantine who always seems to be Vantine. Since his father William Fonteyn, who married Kniertje Wiltsie 29 Nov 1741, died shortly after William (son) was born, I feel certain that this steadfast spelling can be attributed to his mother's second husband, Koenradt Applie, a literate Swiss-German. {| | :[[:Category:Vantine_Name_Study|List of all descendants in DB so far]] || :[[Space:Gilded_Beaver_information]] || |- | :[[Space:Vantine_Family_History]] || :[[Space:Arbitration_Bond_of_1762]] || |- | :[[Space:Notes_by_Henry_Kipp_Van_Tine]] || :[[Space:Marriage_Affidavit_for_Carel_Fonteyn_and_Catharine_deBaile]] || |- | :[[Space:New_Jersey_State_Death_Index]] || :[[Space:Map_of_Somerset_County%2C_New_Jersey]] || |- | :[[Space:Missouri_State_Death_Index]] || :[[Space:Map_of_Dutchess_County%2C_New_York]] || |- | :[[Space:Taxpayers_of_Fishkill%2C_New_York%2C_before_1780#F]] || :[[Space:Northern_New_York_Tombstone_Transcription_Project]] || |- | :[[Space:Old_Miscellaneous_Records_of_Dutchess_County%2C_(NY)]] || :[[:Space:Vantine_Burials_in_Horton_Cemetery]] || |- | :[[Space:Low_Dutch_Settlements_in_Kentucky]] || :[[Space:Fonteyn_/_Vantine_Church_Records]] || |- | :[[Space:Index_to_Dutchess_Ancient_Documents]] || :[[Space:Fonteyn_/_Vantine_Bible_Records]] || |- | :[[Space:Philadelphia_Federal_Census_Records]] || :[[Space:Vantine_/_Vantyne_Bureau_of_Land_Management_Patents]] || |- | :[[Space:Philadelphia_City_Directories]] || :[[Space:Fonteyn_/_Vantine_Bibliography]] || |- | :[[Space:Vantine_/_Van_Tine_1812_Military_Records]] || :[[Space:A_History_of_the_Smock_Family]] || |- | :[[Space:Vantine_/_Van_Tine_Civil_War_Military_Records]] || :[[blank]] || |- | :[[Space:Frances_Phillips_Vantine%27s_Pension_File]] || :[[blank]] || |- | :[[Space:Fonteyn_/_Vantine_Colonial_and_Revolutionary_War]] || :[[Space:Collections_of_the_New-York_Genealogical_and_Biographical_Society]] || |- | :[[Space:Baptism_and_Marriage_Records_of_the_DRC_in_America]] || :[[Space:Yearbook_of_the_Holland_Society_of_New_York]] || |- | :[[Space:Marriage_and_Baptismal_records_primarily_from_Dutch_Reformed_Churches_in_the_17th_and_18th_century_in_New_Jersey.|Space:Marriage_and_Baptismal_records]] || :[[Space:Somerset_County_Historical_Quarterly]] || |} {{Image|file=Fonteyn-6-1.jpg |caption=Affidavit of Marriage for Carel Fonteyn }}

The hope is that other researchers like you will join our study to help make it a valuable reference point for people studying lines that cross or intersect. == Origin == This unusual name, found as either Verity, Varty, or Vardy, and in several other spellings as well, has its origins either in a medieval nickname, or a baptismal name of endearment, or perhaps an actor in a travelling theatre. The derivation is from the Middle French word 'verite', meaning 'truth', itself originally from the Roman (Latin) word 'veritas'. However the introduction into Britain was probably by either the Normans after 1066, or perhaps the later 12th century 'Crusaders', as there does not appear to be any recordings of the use of the word before those times. Creating a surname from a nickname was a common medieval practice, almost a national sport, and rather cruelly it often meant the reverse (!). Surprisingly to 20th century sensibilities, these sometimes extremely robust 'Chaucerian' attitudes do not appear to have upset our predecessors, although most, if not all of the really obscene names disappeared with the 17th century Puritans. An early example of the surname recordings was that of William Verty in the 1379 Poll Tax Rolls of Yorkshire, whilst on February 6th 1598, John Verdue married Agnes Byrd at the church of St Gregory's by St Pauls, London. Other examples were those of William Varty who was married at All Saints, Newcastle Upon Tyne, on April 16th 1640, and Jane Varty who was married on July 1st 1679 to Thomas Scott, of Ainstable, Cumberland. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Adam le Verite. which was dated 1275, Subsidy Rolls of Worcestershire. during the reign of King Edward I, known as 'The Hammer of the Scots', 1272 - 1307. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

This free-space page is WikiTree's online home of the Vause Name Study (VNS). According to Patronymica Brittannica (Lower, 1860), the Vause surname is derived from the Dutch and Low German form of the word "fox". The goal of this study is to provide a common repository for research focusing on all Vause families, and that of other similar surname variants that have inadvertently caused confusion or resulted in the spread of misinformation. Our hope is that other researchers with an eye for accuracy and detail will join our study to help correct the many instances of well-meaning, but patently incorrect attributions that have blurred the lines between fact and fiction over the years, as well as making it a valuable reference point for WikiTreers researching the Vause surname and its many variants. If you wish to join the VNS, please do the following: # Ask a Project Leader, [[Lockwood-1016|Doug Lockwood]] or [[Andrus-373|Alison Andrus]], to award you the One Name Studies Project Member badge; # Add one_name_studies to your list of [[Special:Following|followed tags]].

The name Vearncombe was originally derived from a family having lived in Farncombe, in Surrey. The place-name Farncombe was listed in the Domesday Book as Fernecome was held by the Bishop of Bayeux. This name is derived from the Old English elements fearn, which was the word for fern, and combe, a word for a valley. The surname Vearncombe was first found in Surrey at Farncombe, a village that is today part of the Borough of Waverley. The village dates back to at least the Domesday Book where it was listed as Ferncome and literally meant "valley where ferns grow" from the Old English words "fern" + "cumb". At that time, it was part of the Godalming hundred, lands held by the Bishop of Bayeux, had land enough for two ploughs and had 15 acres of meadows. There was also a manor there at the time ==Resources== * [https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Vearncombe List of Vearncombes on Wikitree] * [https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/tag/Vearncombe G2G feed of questions tagged "Vearncombe"]. * [https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Special:Adoptions&s=Vearncombe Orphaned Vearncombe profiles on WikiTree]. * [https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Category:Unsourced_Profiles&from=Vearncombe -1 Unsourced Vearncombe profiles on WikiTree]. ==Membership== * ==Related Surnames and Surname Variants== {| Class=Wikitable border "1" Align="center" |- | Name || Profile || Variation || |- | William Vearncombe || https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Verncombe-9 || '''Verncombe''' || |- | Rose Vearncombe || https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Vearncombe-80 || '''Vearnecombe''' || |- | Garland Vearncombe || https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Vearncombe-81 || '''Fearncombe''' || |- | Mary Vearncombe || https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Vearncombe-34 || '''Veorcombe''' || |- | George Vearncombe || https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Vearncombe-30 ||'''Verincombe''' || |- | Charles Vearncombe || https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Vearncombe-114 || '''Vearcombe''' || |- | Thomas Vearncombe || https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Varncombe-1 || '''Varncombe''' || |}

If you have any questions, just ask. Thanks! == Goals == This is a One Name Study to collect together in one place everything about the surname Veazie and the variant Vesey of that name. The hope is that other researchers like you will join our study to help make it a valuable reference point for people studying lines that cross or intersect. == Surname Variants == '''N.B.''' "Variants" should be understood to ''exclude'' misspellings or incorrect transcriptions. E.g., census takers frequently spelled names phonetically; indexers, due to unfamiliarity with the name and the infrequent occurrence of the letter Z in script, often guessed at spellings. The following variants are included in this study: # '''Veazie''' # '''Vesey''' As the goal of this study is to support research into ''genealogical'' connections, it does not, at present, include established genealogical lines with surnames such as Veasey, Veazey, etc. E.g., considering colonial North America, there appear to be established lines of descent for George and [[Veazey-73|Thomas Veazey]] of New Hampshire and [[Vasey-128|John Vasey]] and [[Veazey-55|Edward Veazey]] of Maryland. Descendants of those lines consistently spell the surname other than "Veazie." A ''genealogical'' connection among those lines and, for instance, [[Veazie-38|William Veazie]] of Massachusetts, has not been demonstrated. As a result, and until further genealogical connections can be established, those surnames will not be considered in this surname study. There are Veazies and Veseys, primarily in the United Kingdom and Ireland, and contributions to and support by this study is welcome for those genealogical lines of ancestry and descent. == Task List == # Add category [[Category:Veazie Name Study]] and sticker {{One Name Study|name=Veazie}} to profiles for descendants of [[Veazie-38|William Veazie]], including his descendants with surname Vesey. # In order for researchers to identify connections (particularly by marriage) with Veazie/Vesey families, determine and create appropriate categories to aid that research, and apply those categories appropriately to individual profiles. == Progenitors == === Early New England, North America === In New England (North America), Savage[[#Savage|Savage]]: Vol. 4, Page 369 mentions, regarding the surnames "Veazey, Vesey, Veesie or Veazie": # George, Dover (New Hampshire) 1659 # Richard, Watertown (Massachusetts) 1636 # William, Braintree (Massachusetts) 1643 Libby[[#Libby|Libby]]: Vol. 5, Pages 704, 705 has, regarding "Veasey, Veazie": # George, Dover (New Hampshire), 1659, (and some of his descendants) # Henry, (isle of) Shoals (New Hampshire) 1687 In general, the descendants of George Veazey of New Hampshire rarely (ever?) appear with the surname Veazie, nor (at present) has any connection between George of New Hampshire and William Veazie of Braintree been established. For that reason, the surname ''Veazey'' is not considered a variant of ''Veazie''. === [[Veazie-38|William Veazie]] === William Veazie of Braintree, Massachusetts Bay Colony, is a progenitor of many descendants of the name (and others, of course). Early records for William and his descendants appear variously as Veasie, Vesey, Veasy, Veasey, Vezy, even Veezee. In later records (mid 1800s to present), the surname appears more frequently as Veazie, though the name is frequently indexed improperly (apparently) due to unfamiliarity with the name, and poor recognition of a script Z. === [[Vesey-70|William Vesey]] === Of particular note, records for and descendants of [[Veazie-38|William Veazie's]] son, [[Vesey-70|William Vesey]], consistently spell the surname as ''Vesey''. This William Vesey was a staunch Episcopalian, and held that James II was the "true prince" of England, rather than William of Orange. Perhaps apocryphal, it is said that William Vesey intentionally spelled his name differently to distinguish himself from other members of his family for political and religious reasons. A one-name-study of the Veazie name would not be complete if it did not include the surname '''Vesey''' for descendants of this William. This variant of the surname appears in records themselves more frequently as "Vesey," as well as in indices. == Sources and References == === Genealogies === * Savage, James.

At the time of his death in 1863, both parents had passed away, as had his (numerous) siblings, and all heirs to his siblings. His estate was considerably large (for the time) but he left no will (intestate.) As a result, his probate records include genealogical descendant charts, tombstone inscriptions, and dozens of affidavits deposed by relatives providing their relationship, and the relationship of kin, to Joseph Veazie. The resulting distribution of his estate to living paternal and maternal line relatives, which took several years to sort out, includes hundreds of named heirs. In addition to the surname Veazie, those records may prove to be valuable sources for those researching the surname Winslow, as Joseph's mother was a Winslow and the discovery of living heirs to the estate of Joseph Veazie included descendants of Joseph's maternal grandparents.

The country's history is closely connected with the history of the castle. ===Veliš castle=== The castle ruins are on Veliš hill above the village Velis. Veliš originally stood on a royal castle, probably built by Wenceslaus II of Bohemia. The first written documents are of 1316. During its existence many were the owners: John of Luxembourg, the family of Vartemberks, Albrecht von Wallenstein, George of Bohemia and the family of Schlick. Since 1500 there have been over a hundred years kept the Basel Compacts. In the late 16th century, the owner William Trcka Lipa has performed the work to complete the castle. The castle besieged by the Swedes during the [[:Category: Thirty Years' War|Thirty Years' War]] but without success. By imperial order, the castle was demolished in 1658 to avoid falling into the hands of the enemy troops, but previously had now fallen into disuse. Although they were already considerably damaged the castle ruins, the greatest destruction occurred in the 19th century due to a basalt quarry, which was active in the early years of the 17th century. To get an idea of how the castle of Velis, we must rely on the images and paintings of the era. According to one of the drawings the main tower of the castle was covered with a gable roof with battlements, and was located about half of the castle. They were also two buildings completed two smaller towers, one of which was attached to the eastern chapel. To the north was the construction of a tunnel and various loopholes. The access road to the western gate was protected by palisades. The castle remained only small remnants of the walls of the ramparts, towers and palaces. Remains of the castle are protected as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic. ==The Italian branch== This name, from 1580 onwards, had its epicenter in the Valley of the Judrio, concentrated in the area of Zapotok, Kanal ob Soči(now in Slovenia), but especially in the small hamlet of Vélendol[http://www.archiviodistatotrieste.it/AriannaWeb/main.htm;jsessionid=F37184C96C0D82F296220AB44598A858#1165_archivio Velindo 1812 - Catasto Franceschino Trieste] to which he gave the first name. 1592 ''Vrsiza Vilisiza'' de Oborza 1596 ''Juuan Veliseche'' Cahal of Judri 1612 ''Michel Veliscech'', 1643 ''Peter Velaszahk'' de Idria.

The surname was introduced into England by followers of William the Conqueror after the Conquest of 1066. The place name is derived from the Latin word 'venabulum', hunting ground, a derivative of the verb 'venari', to hunt. The surname was first recorded in the beginning of the 13th Century, and the modern surname has the unusual distinction of surviving unchanged for seven hundred years."[3] '''Origin of Venables Family''' The Venables Family (sometimes 'de Venables') hail originally from the town of Venables near Evreux in Normandy, and it was Gilbert de Venables, (also known as Gilbert Hunter), huntsman to the Dukes of Normandy, who first held the Barony of Kinderton in Cheshire for Hugh Lupus after the Norman Invasion of 1066. Other family members became Barons of Chester and of Warrington, and over time Venables became a prominent Cheshire and Lancashire surname, as did the anglicised version of 'Hunter'. The Domesday Book of 1086 shows Gilbert 'Hunter' holding Brereton, Davenport, Kinderton and Witton (Northwich) and Ralph Hunter holding Stapleford in Cheshire and Soughton in Wales. Later the family became Lords of the Manor of Middlewich. Wincham Hall, recorded as 'Winundersham' in the Domesday Book, was given to Gilbert de Venables following the Norman Conquest, but it successively passed in and out of the Venables family's ownership through inheritance, married and sale over the following centuries. It survived until bombing in the Second World War destroyed it, after which it was finally demolished. The family's influence and power throughout medieval Cheshire is evidenced by the wreath on the Coat of Arms of the Borough of Congleton, which are the heraldic colours of the Venables family, as do the Arms of Northwich where the ship shown above the shield shows on its mainsail the wyvern of the Venables family. They held many other lands throughout Britain including Woodcote near Winchester, when, in 1677, the manor had been purchased by the Venables. The Venables family also purchased Antrobus Hall in Great Budworth sometime during the reign of King Henry IV - they resided here for many generations. The Venables Family have a worldwide website and there are regular Venables family conventions held in England and in France. The Middlewich Festival, held in September each year, also acts as a gathering of the Venables family members from around the world. '''The Venables Motto''' Venabulis Vinco: I conquer with hunting-spears. '''VENABLES OF ENGLAND'''Adapted from the book Venables of Virginia by Elizabeth Marshall Venable p. 5-7 Below are two articles; one, from Vol. IV, Publications of the Huguenot Society of America, pp. 64-65; the other from the William and Mary College Quarterly, Vol XV, pp.21-24: I. VENABLES, is a baronial name from Venables, near Evreux, Normandy. The family does not appear under this name in Normandy, its proper name being le Vencur, or Venator. Arnulph, Gislebert, Gaufridus, Hugh, Richard Venator, Normandy, 1180-95 (M.R.S.). Richard Venator, 1198 (ibid). Gislebert Venator, or De Venables, held the barony of Kinderton in Cheshire, 1086, from whom descended the Venables Baron of Kinderton, and many other families. GROSVENOR, so named from the office of Veneur, or Venator (huntsman), of the Duke of Normandy. Walter de Veneur was eminently distinguished, 960, at the battle of the Fords, between Lothaire, King of France, and the Normans, where he was rescued by Duke Richard I, and remounted by him on his best horse (Palgrave, Hist. Normandy, ii, 738). The name occurs about the same time in the Charters of the Gallia Christiana. The ancient seat of the Le Venours appears to have been Venables, near Evreux, their armoury bore a bend azure and argent azure' ref. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bend (La Roque, Hist Harcourt, ii, 1181), which was also borne by several of their English descendants. Three brothers of this family came to England with Hugh Lupus: I. Gislebert Venator, or De Venables, ancestor of the Barons of Kinderton, of whom Gislebert Venables of Cheshire is mentioned in Normandy, 1180, as “Gislebert Venator” (M.R.S.). The French line of Le Venour, descended from him, bore' a bend argent and azure'. 2. From another brother probably derived the Butlers of Chester, Barons of Warrington, who also bore a bend azure and argent differenced by the wheat sheaves of Chester. 3. Radulph, or Ranulph. II. Venables is a district about thirty miles beyond Rouen, on the road to Paris, between St. Pierre and Vernon and stands in the centre of the neck of a peninsular tract of land formed by a bend of the Seine in the neighbourhood of Beaumont, Gournay and Bermieres. The high road runs straight through this tract to the centre of the arc of the Seine, which it intersects at a point where that river bends past the Petit Andeli, near the famous Chateau Gaillard, erected by Richard, Coeur de Lion, for the defence of that part of Normandy. Maps of this district, show the position of Venables clearly (near the forest of Andeli), one of the chief places, published in Histoire du Chateau Gaillard in 1829. Gislebertus de Venables, the ancestor of the Venables of England and of Virginia, accompanied William the Conqueror to England. His name (derived, by the way, from “Venabulum” a hunting spear or more properly boor spear, reflects his origin, “Hereditary Huntsmen” or Veneurs of the Norman Dukes) is found on the Roll of Battle Abbey. His family in Normandy does not appear under this name, the proper name being Le Venour (Veneur) or Venator, the latter being the Latin form of the name. Gislebertus de Venables, on the division of the spoils, received part of his share under the name of Venator, and other English references to him are under this name. Gilbert Venables, using the English form, received extensive estates, one of them being an English Barony attached to the Earldom of Cheshire, under Hugh Lupus, with the title Baron of Kinderton. He is referred to as the younger brother of Stephen, Earl of Blois, the father of Stephen, King of England, which would make him a descendant of Charlemagne, he is also referred to as cousin-german to the Conqueror. The title and much of the estates, remained in the Venables family for nearly 700 years, until the death of the last Baron Sir Peter, when in a will, the Venables title and arms were assumed by George Vernon, making the hyphenated Venables-Vernon, or Lord Vernon of the present day. With Sir Peter the main line, coming through the direct heirs, became extinct. But there were numerous branches through younger sons, scattered through England and their pedigrees may be found in several of the County histories of England - except Devonshire. In none of these county histories has any clue been found of the emigrant to Virginia, Abraham Venables. In the old families, baptismal names were religiously adhered to, and any line of descendant may be placed upon the main stem by the baptismal names. In the case of Abraham Venables, the Virginian emigrant, no English pedigree has been found. According to the Richmond Standard, Abraham Venables, came to Virginia circa 1680. He had two sons, Joseph and Abraham, Joseph going to Maryland, and Abraham to Virginia. Evidence points to the fact that there was a Joseph Venables in Maryland, and that he was contemporary with the Abraham of Virginia. The Pennsylvania Archives, 'William Venables, upon his first arrival, procured a warrant from Thos. Holme in 1682, for 300 acres of land in Bucks, near the Falls.' William had two daughters, Joyce and Frances, but no sons. A "Ralph Venables" left England in 1635, for the Bermudas, he could be the progenitor of the Virginia families. == Notable and Famous Venables== *[[Venables-Vernon-5|Edward Venables-Vernon-Harcourt]] *[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Venables-Vernon,_5th_Baron_Vernon George Venables-Vernon, 5th Baron Vernon] *[http://www.historyofparliamentonline.org/volume/1660-1690/member/venables-peter-1604-69 Peter Venable (1604-69), of Kinderton, Cheshire.] *[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Venables#Family Robert Venables on Wikipedia] *[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_Venables Terry Venables on Wikipedia] *[https://www.geni.com/people/Thomas-de-Venables-of-Chester/6000000003816071748 Thomas de Venables of Chester] *[http://www.historyofparliamentonline.org/search/site/thomas%20venables Thomas Venables in the history of parliament] *[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venables Venables on Wikipedia] *[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=Venables+&title=Special%3ASearch&profile=default&fulltext=1 Venables Search Results on Wikipedia] *[http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C9107598 William Venables of Kinderton, Constable of Chester castle.] https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Dillwyn-Llewellyn-1 https://www.npg.org.uk/collections/search/person/mp103251/sir-percy-frederick-ronald-peter-venables https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Venables Anthony Venables (born 1953), English economist.

The hope is that other researchers like you will join our study to help make it a valuable reference point for people studying lines that cross or intersect. Of particular interest are the three brothers Thomas, Randall, and Robert Vernon who settled in what is now PA in 1682, their descendants, and their origins in Cheshire County, England. == Members == Here are the current members of the Study. Please reach out to Tony Vernon if you would like to join publicly to collaborate. * Tony Vernon: [[Vernon-484|Tony Vernon]] * Caroline Verworn: [[Vernon-2152|Caroline (Vernon) Verworn]] * Alice Thomsen: [[Stephens-3929|Alice (Stephens) Thomsen Staff Sgt.]] == yDNA Study == Recently, a yDNA Study on the origins of the Vernon family is underway. Of particular interest would be individuals who descend from Vernon family branches that are NOT Quaker Vernons. Please reach out to me [[Vernon-484|Tony Vernon]] if you are interested in participating. == Quaker Vernon Brothers == [[Vernon-351|Thomas Vernon]] was the eldest of the brothers that came to PA in 1682. [[Vernon-352|Randall Vernon]] is the middle brother, and [[Vernon-180|Robert Vernon]] the youngest. There is a deed that proves that they were brothers (please see attachment 'AR Justice Research' on any of these pages). Much of the Quaker Vernon descendants through the late 1700's are enumerated in Futhey & Cope's History of Chester County available here: https://books.google.com/books/about/History_of_Chester_County_Pennsylvania_w.html?id=jcYxAQAAMAAJ While the origin of the Quaker Vernon brothers is definitely in Cheshire County, England, it is unproven beyond that generation. We are hoping that collaboration will find the origin of the Vernon brothers and their link to the wider Vernon family. == Task List == Of immediate concern is trying to track down the origin of the Quaker Vernon brothers. Evidence is missing for James Vernon as the father although that is the accepted ancestry both here and in other sources such as the 'Vernon Vignettes'. An examination of contemporaneous wills from Cheshire County, England in the 1600-1680 range may yield good results. We have begun downloading and transcribing these wills. If you are willing to assist with transcribing, please contact Tony Vernon so that he can coordinate efforts. == Vernons around the world == There are branches of the Vernon family in most British Commonwealth nations. In Canada, many Vernons are descended from American Loyalists that fled what is now the United States during or following the Revolutionary War. There are also some families with the surname Vernon in France, presumably due to the Norman town Vernon from which the English family draws its name due to its founders holding that town under William the Conqueror at the time of the Norman Conquest. As the Vernons first settled at Haddon Hall in northwest England, there are English, Scottish, and Welsh branches of the family. == Research thus far == 2 September 2023 author: Tony Vernon [Vernon-484] The commonly accepted view that the father of the Vernon brothers was James is completely unsupported by any contemporaneous evidence. There is no James born at the right time in Cheshire, where we know the brothers are from. It is therefore necessary to review possible families that would contain the three immigrant brothers in the order of their birth. We do know from a Revolutionary War era deed that the brothers are in fact brothers. This is the collaborative place where we are now based on my own research with the help of others. Here are individuals and how I think that they fit in. This would explain the Quaker Vernon brothers’ origin in Cheshire, and their ancestry 4 generations back. A couple of things of note. The (apparent) start of the line here has a Latin variant of Randall who seems to have died around 1579. Birth records start in 1538 in Staffordshire (more on that connection in a bit) so we may not be able to get a baptism for him. 3 and 4 generations down in what I THINK Is our lineal descent, there's Randle / Randull twice. Also, the Randull that I THINK is the Quaker Vernon father named daughters Elnor and Joane, and his apparent father's family (James / Jacobus, apparently born in Audley, Staffordshire) had daughters Elnor and Joane who both died in infancy. I think it's likely that Randull is our father, in part because there's a record of him being born in Tarporley and dying in Whitegate (where Robert was born) but also that there's a Joane Vernon (there is a daughter of that name born to him in Tarporley) who died in Whitegate - and there are very few Vernons in Whitegate so it makes sense that this daughter stayed with him after the family moved from Tarporley to Whitegate. Assuming that he moved from Tarporley to Whitegate, that would allow for a family with the three Quaker Vernon brothers in the right birth order with the same father's name. This is the only combination of the three Vernon brother's names and a single father. A recent addition to the puzzle is the will of one Thomas Vernon [[Vernon-3398|Thomas Vernon (abt.1600-bef.1637)]]. He appears to be the brother of Randall Vernon, based on the him naming his nephew Thomas, Ellnore, and Joane. It is very likely that his father was James Vernon of Tarporley, supporting that Randall's father was James of Tarporley. Please see research notes on this Thomas's page for more information. As to the jump from Audley, Staffordshire to Tarporley, Cheshire, it is about 20 miles as the crow flies. I have no idea why James Vernon, the potential Vernon brother's grandfather, might have gone, but it is not an insurmountable distance even in those days. It is very possible that he moved to be with another branch of the Vernon family that is related by blood or marriage, as there are many Vernons in Tarporley. Another possibility is that he inherited or purchased some land from the family. Randull Vernon (d. 1579) has a mention of land in Cheshire in his will. There is also litigation between Thomas, Randall's brother, and Thomas's son James, regarding land in Cheshire and Staffordshire. There is a will dated 1599 from James Vernon of Audley, Staffordshire. That will does NOT reference a younger James, although there was a James son of James in Staffordshire from the right time period. It is possible that he was written out of the inheritance and that is how he ended up in Cheshire, as there seem to be very few men with the first name ‘James’ in the extended Vernon family. It is also possible that he received his inheritance before the elder James died, and used that money to relocate to Cheshire. As James the elder died in 1599 and James the younger was married in Cheshire in 1594, the inheritance could have financed the move and/or been a wedding gift. My understanding is frequently the inheritance was paid out at the time of marriage so that may be the case here. Also, James the elder had another daughter who was not included in the will, so he may have proceeded this way with two of his children. The lawsuit in 1577 was over the inheritance of the manor house in Audley. There is a branch of the Vernon landed gentry that held land in Staffordshire. As of this writing this and several other lawsuits are on order from the UK National Archives for review to determine if they can shed some further light on the Staffordshire Vernons. Considering how many litigations survive among branches of the Vernon family, it is also possible that James lost his inheritance somewhere along the way and left to Cheshire, but that is pure speculation at this point. From William Vernon and his son Randall Vernon, the Hanbury Vernons became quite prosperous. According to the family lore this branch of the family (and therefore ours) is descended from the Whatcroft Vernons, which was founded by Nicholas Vernon, 4th son of Warine (II) Vernon, Baron of Shipbrook who died c. 1288. According to Nash, we are descended from one Hugh Vernon of that family. From a tree I found in the British Library the line would then be Nicholas Nicholas Radulphus Hugh Warin (alive 1364/5) There is also a William and an Oliver Vernon of Whatcroft who were alive in 1472. It is unclear how they may be related to Warin previously to them, or to Thomas below. Simply by the way that names tend to repeat in families it seems likely that William (2nd generation below) is related to WIlliam of Whatcroft, but that is pure speculation at this point. Theory: 1st generation: Thomas Vernon of Newcastle, dates uncertain - "younger son of Vernons of Wh(e)atcroft" - Nash 2nd generation: William Vernon, dates uncertain - referenced in James Vernon's litigation with Randall Vernon as grandfather, as well as in Visitations 2nd generation: Father: Thomas Vernon, alive 1536, died 1557.

[[Category:DNA Projects]] [[Category: Versch Name Study]] == Goals: == The first goal of the VERSCH NAME STUDY project is to find every non-living person with thE Versch surname and make a wikitree profile for them, especially anyone from the Obervietach area of Bavaria/Bayern, and to trace their ancestors back as far as possible. Another goal is to connect all the Versch families in Europe and the United States and elsewhere in the world to their Versch ancestors in Europe. We are especially interested in the family of Johann Versch, who lived in Teunz, Schwandorf, Bayern (Bavaria), who was buried in Teunz at the Roman Catholic Church there. A cousin who went to Teunz found out that the graves were moved when they added on to the church and he is now buried, along with his wife Anna, in a new cemetery in a larger local town named Obervietach. Ober means Over or Upper, so probably this town is on a high hill overlooking whaterver Vietach is. This area of Bayern is adjacent to the border with the Czech Republic, and some of the family has been called Austro-Hungarian, which may or may not be true. Some of the descendants of Johann Versch immigrated to the United States. They went first to Buffalo, New York, and some of his relatives stayed in Western New York, especially those related to two of his sons, Martin and Joseph. The other brother Adam Versch went out to Herndon, Rawlins County,Kansas and became a farmer, and has a huge family in the Kansas and Nebraska area even today. The Adam Versch Family has been nicely documented by one of his descendants who gave me a copy of the family genealogy on a CD along with pictures, some of which I will be posting on wikitree. == Members: == Right now this project just has one member, me. I am [[Troy-204|Sharon Centanne]]. == To Do List: == Here are some of the tasks that I think need to be done. I'll be working on them, and could use your help. * Finding Old German church records from Teunz, and surrounding areas near Obervietach in Schwandorf and translating them so we can add Versch profiles to wikitree.com * Finding out if the family has roots in the Czech Republic or if all their ancestors were of German origin. * Adding reliable sources * Adding relevant categories, especially Versch Name Study, and categories for each locality as shown above. * Adding relevant templates, including the one for German Roots to each Versch profile. * Connecting family members to the global family tree.

[[Category:Viles Name Study]] [[Category:One Name Studies]] Welcome to the Viles Name Study. This is a One Name Study to collect together in one place everything about one surname and the variants of that name, including at least Vile, Viels and Vialls. The hope is that other researchers like you will join our study to help make it a valuable reference point for people studying lines that cross or intersect. Please contact the project leader, add categories to your profiles, add your questions to the bulletin board, add details of your name research, etc. As far as I know, no one has been able to pinpoint the origin of the name Viles in the United States. In order to have a better idea of the possibilities, I have started studying the Viles/Vile name in England to determine the regions with the greatest concentration of Viles/Vile families. As there are two main areas where Viles families settled in the United States, in Massachusetts and in the Carolinas, it is possible that they did not originally come from the same area in England. '''NOTE:'''
Many of the "Viles" in the southern and midwestern parts of the United States were originally '''Voyles,''' '''Viols,''' etc., however, if they used the name Viles, they are included in this study.

[[Category:Bennett Name Study]] {{One Name Study|name=Bennett}} See: [[:Category:Virginia, Bennett Name Study]] ===Virginia, Bennett Name Study'''=== Joseph Bennett [Sr] was one of the early settlers on the North Fork of the South Branch of Potomac. The first deed entered of record in Pendleton County was filed at the clerk's office when the county seat was at Ruddle, six miles North of Franklin on the 13th day of June 1788. In this deed Joseph and his wife sold their property on the North Fork in the process of moving westward to Harrison County: "thirty-five pounds current money of Virginia to the Joseph Bennett in hand paid, doth bargain an sell into the said Isaac Hinkle, Esq. to him and his heirs one tract of land in the county of Pendleton. being on the North Fork of the South Branch of Potomac at the great Clover Lick containing seventy acres.The said Joseph Bennett and Mary, his wife, for themselves and their heirs doth covenant with the said Isaac Hinkle and admitted to record August 4, 1788. '''Jeff Carr''' documents the uncertainty surrounding the ancestry of Joseph Bennett Sr. '''Source:''': [http://pages.swcp.com/~dhickman/journals/V6I4/corrected.html Corrected Pedigrees by Jeff Carr] Bennetts. Over the years, a variety of mistakes have been passed along about the Bennett family. One of the more persistent ones comes from The Holt-Bennett Family History (1974). This book refers largely to the Holt family and a few other of the author's related families. Only thirty pages of it refer to the Bennetts, and those trace the descendants of William and Rebecca (McCauley) Bennett. Of this, one paragraph recounts the Bennett ancestry of William Bennett. It reports that Joseph Bennett Sr. of Pendleton County was the son of a William Bennett who was born in England in 1668, and that William married Elizabeth Lee. They supposedly had a son, Joseph, who was born in 1695 in New Jersey, married a Mary Vernon, and died in 1767; this is supposed to be our Joseph Sr. No evidence or references to support corroborate these are given; this, of course, makes it totally unreliable. The last bit about Joseph is completely refutable; it is incredibly unlikely that he was born in 1695, had kids in the 1745-68 range, and was living as late as 1804 in Harrison County. We know that Joseph Bennett Sr. did not die in 1767. However, once again, some researchers have uncritically added these purported ancestors to their charts without verification. While those people (William and Elizabeth, Joseph of 1695, and Mary Vernon) may have existed, no one has yet offered any documentable evidence, or connected them to our Pendleton County family. The late Mary Harter did extensive research on the Bennett family, and sold manuscripts of her research in the late 1970's. Since that time, several of us have continued to research this family and the progress has been slow. At present, our research has taken us only as far back as Joseph Sr., and then not always definitively. Another Bennett mistake that has continued to have a seemingly immortal life of it's own came from The Henckel Genealogy, and The Henckel Genealogical Bulletin. Without going into the myriad of details, the wife of Joseph Bennett Jr. was given as Hannah Elsworth. This has been refuted and corrected in both The Henckel Bulletin and this journal, and in much correspondence by those who continue to advance the research on the Bennett family. However, some researchers continue to carry the Elsworth name on their sheets; it should be removed. Evidence has been reviewed that suggests that Hannah's maiden name may have been Starnes. Corroborating public-record evidence of this, and her parentage have yet to be found. According to '''Don Norman''', whose notes can be found [[#Norman| below]]. Joseph Bennett was born about 1725. He reportedly married Abigail Lee Hunter and Mary Vernon. Neither has been proven, although he did have a wife named Mary in the late 1780's. Joseph received a grant of 70 acres of land in Augusta County Va in 1767. Joseph was living in Pendleton county VA in 1763. By 1786, he was living on Buffalo Creek in present day Harrison Country WV. There is no known documentation for Joseph's birth, death, marriages or children. The children attributed to Joseph Bennett may have been children of two men named Joseph.

Mary Collins Jan 29 1793 m. Rachel Loar or Furr See:[[#Norman]] According to '''David Armstrong''', the entire first generation of the Bennett family in West Virginia is not as clear as some think. In 1782 tax lists indicate that by that time there were TWO Bennetts in the Pendleton area with adult children. The presence of an "extra" John and William would show this. Either Joseph Sr. had a son old enough to have adult sons by 1782 (which is not out of the question) or there was another Bennett contemporary with Joseph Sr. Records in Chalkley show that there was an adult John Bennett living on the South Fork by 1767, just two years after Joseph Sr. begins to show up, and Joiners published Northern Neck surveys has evidence of a Joseph and Thomas Bennett on Cacapon in the 1760s, contemporary with Joseph Bennett Sr.'s appearance in Pendleton. It seems to be the popular opinion among most researchers I have talked with that Joseph Bennett Sr. came to West Virginia and that all of the other descend form him. I am not so sure. '''See:'''[[#Armstrong]]. In 1778 Paul Hinkle, a relative of the Elsworths, wrote in his diary that Joseph Bennett Sr. had two sons who were householders and two married daughters. This being the case, there are too many adult Bennetts in the early 1770s to fit that profile. Morton cites a William, James and John Bennett in records before 1775, so since Joseph Sr. only had two sons who were householders by 1778, and it seems likely that one of these was the Joseph Jr. who died in 1810, one must wonder who some of these others belonged to. Paul Hinkle was definitely someone who would have KNOWN how many kids Joseph Bennett Sr. had, so it appears that there were adult Bennetts running around in the early 1770s who were not Joseph Sr.'s children. It may be that Joseph Sr. and some of his brothers or cousins appear in the 1760s and 1770s, and that the later generations descend from the collectively. '''See:'''[[#Armstrong]].

If you have any questions, just ask. Thanks! == Goals == This is a One Name Study to collect together in one place everything about one surname and the variants of that name. The hope is that other researchers like you will join our study to help make it a valuable reference point for people studying lines that cross or intersect. The surname most probably has multiple origins. To date two key nodes are under study: Vizes of Wiltshire/Berkshire, and Vizes of Limerick and Cork, Ireland. Additional information on the Vyses of Staffordshire and Vizes of Iowa/Indiana has been collected but not analysed. The Vize (Vise, Vyse, Vyze) One Name Study was registered with the Guild of One Name Studies (GOONS) in 2015. Initially starting from research of my Vize family ancestors (Victoria, Australia) but leading to collection of data from England, Scotland, Ireland, South Africa, Canada and the USA. An article on the study was published in the GOONS newsletter in 2016. The various surname dictionaries on English names are inconclusive on the meaning and origin of the Vize surname. Reaney and Wilson conclude it is Old French and likely to be of Norman origin and means “dweller by the boundary.” They place Vize in Wiltshire, Cornwall and Sussex through the occurrence of early records in these areas, but favour Wiltshire as the place of origin. Most surname dictionaries agree on Wiltshire as a point of origin . Guppy describes Vyse as a Hertfordshire name. Lower concluded there may be multiple origins, including Devizes in Wiltshire. There is evidence of similar names, which may be related, in France, Belgium, Netherlands and Germany. Historical data sets for baptisms show many possibly related surnames, particularly in Western European countries, but also in some Eastern European countries. The first recorded usage of the surname Vize dates to the year 1296 . The Canterbury Cathedral Dean and Chapter Archives holds quitclaims dated 1296 and 1298 that record a John le VYSE as a witness to two land leases in Southchurch, Essex. From study of records globally it appears that Vize may have come from multiple sources of different origins and through anglicisation and other changes. In England there is evidence of the name from the earliest records, especially from the villages in the west of Berkshire and east of Wiltshire. The Victorian Vize line is traced back to this area. Included in the study are people with the surname Vize/Vise/Vyse, people with a parent with the surname Vize/Vise/Vyse, and people that carried the surname as a middle name indicating their ancestry. == Task List == 1.

[[Category:Wadenphul Name Study]] __NOTOC__ ==About the Project== Welcome to the Wadenphul Name Study project! This page serves as a collaborative platform to collect information on the [https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Wadenphul Wadenphul] name and its many variants. Feel free to [[#How to Join|join the study]] if you have an interest in the Wadenphul name. For quick reference, find a [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Wadenphul_Name_Study list of Wikitree profiles with the last name Wadenphul etc.] here. == Origins and meaning of the surname == According to name expert Professor Udolph, Zentrum für Namenforschung (see [https://www.facebook.com/prof.udolph/| Facebook profile] ), the name Wadenphul (and its variants) is carried by a rather small number of persons in Germany and is mainly found in the North and West of Germany. The name probably refers to someone wading through a pool of water; some variants show a close resemblance to Low German words ("pohl" or "puhl" instead of "pfuhl"). "Waten" (or Low German "waden") means "to wade", "Pool" or "Pohl" in Low German means "pool" or "pond". Looks like one of our ancestors loved walking through puddles ;-) The name is a record name ("Satzname") which usually consists of the imperative form of a verb ("wade!") and a noun or adverb, in this case "pfuhl". Both parts of the name must be compatible with each other. === Name Variants & Spellings === For the first part of the name, these variants are possible or have been seen: *Waden, Wade *Warten (mainly in profiles from the Birkenfeld area of Germany) *Waten (only found in US profiles as yet) *Wahl and these for the second part: *pfuhl, phul, pful *pul, puhl *pool, pohl (only in US profiles as yet) *poel, poell, porll (found in German Rhine area, f.e. Monheim) Thus there are quite a lot of name variants: ''sorted here according to frequency on Wikitree, as of 28 Jan 2022'', ''numbers give frequency on Wikitree'' *[https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Wadenphul Wadenphul] (69) *[https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Wadenpfuhl Wadenpfuhl] (29) *[https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Wartenpuhl Wartenpuhl] (25) * [https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Watenpool Watenpool] (20) *[https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Wahlpfuhl Wahlpfuhl] (10) *[https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Wadenpoell Wadenpoell] (9) *[https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Wadenpul Wadenpul] (4) *[https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Watenphul Watenphul] (4) *[https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Wadepul Wadepul] (2) *[https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Wadenpohl Wadenpohl ] (2) *[https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Wadenpful Wadenpful] (1) * [https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Wadenpuhl Wadenpuhl] (1) * [https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Wadephul Wadephul] (1) *[https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Wartenpful Wartenpful] (1) Links lead to a list of profiles which carry the concerning name variant. Of course many of these could be the result of spelling or reading mistakes, especially those with a low frequency. But it makes searches for the name difficult, as we have to try so many variants. '''The fact that there are so many name variants and spellings makes an ONS even more important, as it gives us a central space to combine all the name variants and spellings.''' A different picture can be seen when entering the name variants into Geogen, a web service which shows name frequencies by checking the number of phone connections in Germany (see https://legacy.stoepel.net/). Here other variants are stronger (the first number in brackets give the absolute number, the second gives the expected number of people with this name variant). *[https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Wadenpohl Wadenpohl] (95/248) *[https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Wadephul Wadephul] (41/104) *[https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Wadepohl Wadepohl] (27/72) *[https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Watenphul Watenphul] (21/56) *[https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Wadenpfuhl Wadenpfuhl] (16/40) *[https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Wartenpfuhl Wartenpfuhl] (13/32) *[https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Wadepfuhl Wadepfuhl] (9/24) *[https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Wadenphul Wadenphul] (5/8) *[https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Wartenphul Wartenphul] (2/0) *[https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Wadefuhl Wadefuhl] (3/8) *[https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Wadepful Wadepful] (1/0) *[https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Wardenphul Wardenphul] (1/0) Main areas where people with these name variants live is the Ruhrgebiet (Northrhine-Westfalia), Berlin, Hamburg & Lower Saxony, the Southwest (Saarland, Rhineland-Palatinate) and Baden-Württemberg. ==Wadenpoells from the Monheim Area, Germany== My focus right now is on Wadenpfuhls etc. from Monheim/Rhein, near Düsseldorf, Germany. I have started by collecting Wadenphuls (et al.) from my part of Germany, the Hunsrück and Moselle area in the Southwest; most of them probably are descendants of [[Wahlpfuhl-2|Johann Peter Wadenpfuhl or Wahlpfuhl]], born around 1650. It turned out that Johann Peter originally came from Blee, now Monheim, near Düsseldorf - quite a distance in the 17th century. Thus I have started to check church books from Monheim. While I did not find Johann Peter's baptism record, the family seems to have been established there quite well, under the name variants Wadenpoell or Wadenpoel. I am now in the process of entering their profiles in Wikitree and connecting them to the study. ==Research Pages== Here are some of the current research pages included in the study. *Tauf- und Heiratsbuch Monheim St. Gereon 1646-1693.

Some of them (not all by far): the Kingdom of Poland, Austria, Hungary, Austria-Hungary Empire, Moravia, Prussia, Prussia as a state of united Germany and now back to Poland. Parts of Schlesien that were in Moravia are now in Czech Republic. Some parts are still in Germany. The bulk of the province went to Poland post-WWII when it was depopulated of Germans.

[[Category:Wainwright Name Study]] [[Category: One Name Studies Project, Needs Coordinator]] [[Category:DNA Projects]] Wainwright is an Anglo-Saxon occupational surname derived from the pre-7th century Old English word waegnwyrhta. The prefix, waeg(e)n/waen, refers to a vehicle/wagon, common in its time as being horse-driven and four-wheeled. The suffix, wyrhta/wright, refers to a maker/builder. The earliest public record of the name dates to 1237 in Essex. There are many variations. == How to Join == Please contact the ONS Project. If you have any questions, just ask.

Ten years later, in 1682, William and Thomas Claiborne, in New Kent, Co., VA received a patent for transporting Micha Wardrope and others. The record doesn't say when Micha was transported. Seventeen years later, in 1699, a Michael Waldrope was granted land in King William Co., VA. A number of documents show a dispute over this 1699 land grant that was not resolved until 1713. We call this OUR Michael and OUR Waldrop immigrant. David Porter Smith and the team of Howard Leon Waldrop, Donald Wayne Waldrop and Jan Dawson are the source of much of what we know about the Waldrop family of the 1600's. We consider them the experts. However, a trip to the Library of Virginia in 2014 shed a new light on the Waldrop family that neither David, nor the team HLWDWWJD touched on in any of their notes as far as we can tell. There was a Thomas Wardrope/Wardrobe in York Co., VA at the same time these early researcher found Michael Waldrop there. Thomas was mentioned in numerous Court records from 1666 to 1671. He was literate, signed his name, rather than his mark. He was paid for writing the Will of Gabriel Jones. One document mentions Thomas Wardrope and Thomas Bell. A Thomas Bell was on the same list with Michael Waldrop in 1672 and 1682 sightings. We'd like to believe this Thomas Bell associated with Michael and the one associated with Thomas is the same man. How was Thomas and Michael Waldrop related? Were they? Thomas was not an indentured servant. He was witnessing documents. Who was he? [See Rin 35756]. We, and other researchers we have known believe Michael came to America as an indentured servant. We like to think he indentured himself in hopes of having a better life in America. We call his birth year 1645, making him about 25-27 years old when he arrived. We have no actual evidence of Michael's age, except that he was at least 16 years old in 1672 when he appeared on the tithe list. If only 16 in 1672, Michael would have been born in 1656. This first Michael being 11 years younger would dilute somewhat the theory of David Smith that there were four men named Michael Waldrop in succession in early Virginia. But, it wouldn't completely dispell it. And, David did write, "The theory of the first four Michaels was and is intended to be theory for further research." The time lapses in sightings of Waldrop families in the 1600s and early 1700s leaves a lot of unanswered questions. It is hard to believe that the Michael of York Co., VA in 1672 fathered the Waldrop families we find in the 1730s and 1740s. For ease of access in this database, we have taken the Michael David Smith created and given the four Waldrop men of the early 1700's to him as sons. And, like David's "theory of the first four Michaels was and is intended to be theory for further research", our placing of these four men is intended for "ease of access". After Michael served his time under contract as an indentured servant, he went north and west. He was probably motivated by cheap or free land in the less populated areas of King William Co., VA. He probably rented a farm for a few years before being assigned the controversial "Indian Lands" by Fuller and Johnson in 1699. He probably didn't even know there was a controversy until he tried to sell his land to Francis Arnold in 1704, and probably bought it back when he learned of the problem. It took until 1713 for Michael to obtain clear title to his land. It is possible that Michael married a few years after he arrived in America, sometime between 1675-1680. The son David Smith created would have been born 1677-79. This son could have been the father of Luke in 1734 Hanover, VA; James in Caroline Co., VA; Michael in Orange Co., VA and Joseph in Amelia Co., VA. All four of these men were born 1700-1710 era. Michael, the son would have fathered these sons in his 20's and 30's. One of the Michael's, probably the elder, transported two persons to the colony sometime before 1712. He received a headright of his own. We believe that Michael, the immigrant was dead or very old when the problem with the first 90 acres was resolved. We believe his son lived on the land and raised a family. There is nothing but a surname to link Michael I, Michael II and the Waldrop's born around 1700-1710. Some researchers have been brave enough to go farther back and connect this Michael to Sir William Wardroper. Our imagination was exhausted after the ten year and seventeen year leaps to get the same Michael Wardrope from York to King William Co., VA. So, we stopped there. ***** 1672 --- YORK CO., VA. Tithe List. Michael Waldrop On 24 Sep 1672, in York Co., Va, a John Keene was paid 200 pounds of tobacco for Michael Waldrop and Thomas Bell, "York County, Va, Records, 1672-1676," abstracted and Compiled by Benjamin B. Weisiger, III. The entry says, "At a grand assembly Sept. 24, 1672, the County of York." The entries under this title are payments that are being made to various people and is signed "TESTE James Minge, Clerk of Assembly for the levy" We do not know why Keene was being paid for Waldrop and Bell, but we do know Michael was in York Co., VA by 1672 and that he had to have been age 16 or older at that time, according to headright laws. 1682 --- NEW KENT CO., VA. 20 Apr 1682.

The information given to David Dobson was an American lady, Dr. Grace Batson, who submitted her material as a query. This person was contacted by Howard H. Waldrop and she had no documentation for her query, and based it only on speculation and name frequency. The quote from Dobson's book follows: "From Scotland to America.

Smith --- The introduction to Vol. I, of Cavaliers and Pioneers by Nugent states that "the headrights may have arrived in the Colony long before the patentee had entered claim for land thereby due." Thomas J. Wertenbaker in his "The Spring of Colonial VA." Part II, p. 77 states that this time interval was on the average 12 or more years.] ********** MICHAEL WALDROP, IMMIGRANT, Essay by Jan Dawson, 9/02 In order to understand the immigration of Michael Waldrop, it is important to know a little about the history of that time. Jamestown, Virginia was the first permanent English settlement in North America. On May 6, 1607, three ships stopped at Cape Henry, at the southern entrance to Chesapeake Bay, after more than four months at sea. (Jamestown is about 20 miles or so from where Michael Waldrop later settled.) As the colonies began to grow, there was a demand for labor, both skilled and unskilled. The system of indenturing servants started during the 1600's to provide cheap labor for the colonies. (Over half of all immigrants to the colonies after the 1630's came as indentured servants.) An indentured servant was someone who worked without wages for a period of time in exchange for passage to the American Colonies. The term most commonly refered to Europeans who signed a contract to work a term of years, usually four to seven, in return for payment of their voyage, food, clothing, and shelter. The contract was called an indenture. Most indentured servants were young men between the ages of 16 and 25 looking for jobs and a better life. Some debtors and convicts were also sent to the colonies as indentured servants. Beginning in 1618, the colony of Virginia offered a headright, a grant of 50 acres per head (that is, per head count) to any person who imported servants to Virginia. The "headright" belonged to the person who paid for the servant's passage. The servant was recruited in the British Isles. He "sold" himelf to an agent or a ship's captain and signed an indenture contract. The contract was then sold to a buyer in a colony. The crossing was difficult. Three biscuits and a pint of water a day was not unusal fare. Upon arrival, the servant usually ended up doing household or agricultural work or unskilled labor. If the servant had a craft, such as weaving, carpentry, blacksmithery or the like, he would bargain for a shorter term of indenture. Some servants, when they completed their term of servitude, were given "freedom dues" or small amounts of land. Whoever bought the headright for the transported servant surrendered it to the colony who in turn awarded him 50 acres of land. However, it was more common for the owner of the headright either to keep the headright until he had accumulated a number of them and then exchange them for a larger tract of land, or else sell the headright to another person, who in turn might sell it to someone else, and so forth. We assume from records in Scotland that Michael Waldrop probably was from Edinburgh, but we have no proof. We do know from two records, however, that he was an indentured servant in Virginia. In the 1672 list of tithables (A tithable was any male age 16 or older.) for York Co., Virginia, John Keene was paid 100 pounds of tobacco for MICK WALDROP and Thomas Bell. Deeds prove that John Keene was a Virginia landowner and planter, and therefore, logically, owned indentured servants. In 1682, the headright for transporting Michael Waldrop was finally surrendered for land in New Kent County, VA. (This does not mean that Michael Waldrop was in New Kent Co.; Merely that the headright owner was.) It appears the transporter was Col Wm. Claiborne, Jr., who gave or sold it to his son William, who gave or sold it to Thomas Claiborne, who gave or sold it to his son Thomas Claiborne, Jr. The document, which clearly states that headrights were claimed for eleven persons, one being Michael Waldrop, reads as follows: (From NellNugent's "Cavaliers & Pioneers" Volume II, p. 236, Patent Book #7.)20 Apr 1682, William Claiborne, (Claibourne), son of Col. Wm. Clayborne Jr., deceased, Thomas Claiborne, son & heir apparent of Mr. Thomas Claiborne, 545 acres, New Kent Co., VA., 20 Apr 1682 (p. 154). Beginning in the fork of Chickahominy River where the SW ends, & continues. Transportation of 11 persons: Thomas Bell, Robert Bowles, John Ireland, Richard Pearson, Cornwallis Bushy (or Busby), Margaret Bright, Richard Ely, MICHA WALDROPE, Mary Poll, Ann Hicks, and Andrew Hall. The two records, 1672 and 1682, give us specific information about Michael Waldrop. The 1682 record proves he was an indentured servant, because Claiborne received a headright (which he received from someone else) for Michael's transportation to Virginia. Since a tithe was paid for Michael in 1672, he must have been at least 16 years of age at that time, because that was the minimum tithable age. This means Michael Waldrop was born not later than 1656, and possibly earlier, since he may have been older than 16 when he was tithed. Because Col. Claiborne, who transported him, did not cash in the headright when it was issued, we do not know exactly when Michael Waldrop arrived in America, but it must have been before 1672 when his name appeared on the Virginia tithe list. The interesting thing to point out is that he undertook a difficult voyage to this country at a young age, during a time of uncertainty, and probably about 60 years or so after the first settements were established. (No doubt a courgeous thing for a young man to do.) Many Virginia records were burned or destroyed in wars and in courthouse fires over the years. Thus, we have only scanty amounts of data for our immigrant ancestor. No records tell us his wife's name or those of all his children. We do know that in 1672 he was in York Co., VA where his name appeared on the tithe list, and that he settled in King William County, VA by 1699. We also know that he himself received 100 acres of headrights in 1712 for transporting two men to Virginia. ********** Post to Waldrop Board in 2000 by Jan Dawson I do not have all the answers, but so many people seem to be uncertain about the early lineage that I thought I'd list the conclusions of a number of the authorities, based on documents and circumstantial evidence.

Our first evidence that this Michael existed is a tithe list in York Co., VA in 1672. Ten years later, in 1682, William and Thomas Claiborne, in New Kent, Co., VA received a patent for transporting Micha Wardrope and others. The record doesn't say when Micha was transported. Seventeen years later, in 1699, a Michael Waldrope was granted land in King William Co., VA. A number of documents show a dispute over this 1699 land grant that was not resolved until 1713. We call this OUR Michael and OUR Waldrop immigrant. David Porter Smith and the team of Howard Leon Waldrop, Donald Wayne Waldrop and Jan Dawson are the source of much of what we know about the Waldrop family of the 1600's. We consider them the experts. However, a trip to the Library of Virginia in 2014 shed a new light on the Waldrop family that neither David, nor the team HLWDWWJD touched on in any of their notes as far as we can tell. There was a Thomas Wardrope/Wardrobe in York Co., VA at the same time these early researcher found Michael Waldrop there. Thomas was mentioned in numerous Court records from 1666 to 1671. He was literate, signed his name, rather than his mark. He was paid for writing the Will of Gabriel Jones. One document mentions Thomas Wardrope and Thomas Bell. A Thomas Bell was on the same list with Michael Waldrop in 1672 and 1682 sightings. We'd like to believe this Thomas Bell associated with Michael and the one associated with Thomas is the same man. How was Thomas and Michael Waldrop related? Were they? Thomas was not an indentured servant. He was witnessing documents. Who was he? [See Rin 35756]. We, and other researchers we have known believe Michael came to America as an indentured servant. We like to think he indentured himself in hopes of having a better life in America. We call his birth year 1645, making him about 25-27 years old when he arrived. We have no actual evidence of Michael's age, except that he was at least 16 years old in 1672 when he appeared on the tithe list. If only 16 in 1672, Michael would have been born in 1656. This first Michael being 11 years younger would dilute somewhat the theory of David Smith that there were four men named Michael Waldrop in succession in early Virginia. But, it wouldn't completely dispell it. And, David did write, "The theory of the first four Michaels was and is intended to be theory for further research." The time lapses in sightings of Waldrop families in the 1600s and early 1700s leaves a lot of unanswered questions. It is hard to believe that the Michael of York Co., VA in 1672 fathered the Waldrop families we find in the 1730s and 1740s. For ease of access in this database, we have taken the Michael David Smith created and given the four Waldrop men of the early 1700's to him as sons. And, like David's "theory of the first four Michaels was and is intended to be theory for further research", our placing of these four men is intended for "ease of access". After Michael served his time under contract as an indentured servant, he went north and west. He was probably motivated by cheap or free land in the less populated areas of King William Co., VA. He probably rented a farm for a few years before being assigned the controversial "Indian Lands" by Fuller and Johnson in 1699. He probably didn't even know there was a controversy until he tried to sell his land to Francis Arnold in 1704, and probably bought it back when he learned of the problem. It took until 1713 for Michael to obtain clear title to his land. It is possible that Michael married a few years after he arrived in America, sometime between 1675-1680. The son David Smith created would have been born 1677-79. This son could have been the father of Luke in 1734 Hanover, VA; James in Caroline Co., VA; Michael in Orange Co., VA and Joseph in Amelia Co., VA. All four of these men were born 1700-1710 era. Michael, the son would have fathered these sons in his 20's and 30's. One of the Michael's, probably the elder, transported two persons to the colony sometime before 1712. He received a headright of his own. We believe that Michael, the immigrant was dead or very old when the problem with the first 90 acres was resolved. We believe his son lived on the land and raised a family. There is nothing but a surname to link Michael I, Michael II and the Waldrop's born around 1700-1710. Some researchers have been brave enough to go farther back and connect this Michael to Sir William Wardroper. Our imagination was exhausted after the ten year and seventeen year leaps to get the same Michael Wardrope from York to King William Co., VA. So, we stopped there. ***** 1672 --- YORK CO., VA. Tithe List. Michael Waldrop On 24 Sep 1672, in York Co., Va, a John Keene was paid 200 pounds of tobacco for Michael Waldrop and Thomas Bell, "York County, Va, Records, 1672-1676," abstracted and Compiled by Benjamin B. Weisiger, III. The entry says, "At a grand assembly Sept. 24, 1672, the County of York." The entries under this title are payments that are being made to various people and is signed "TESTE James Minge, Clerk of Assembly for the levy" We do not know why Keene was being paid for Waldrop and Bell, but we do know Michael was in York Co., VA by 1672 and that he had to have been age 16 or older at that time, according to headright laws. 1682 --- NEW KENT CO., VA. 20 Apr 1682.

Dobson's source has been proven unreliable for documentation. Howard Hunt Waldrop tracked down the sources for this printed material. The information given to David Dobson was an American lady, Dr. Grace Batson, who submitted her material as a query. This person was contacted by Howard H. Waldrop and she had no documentation for her query, and based it only on speculation and name frequency. The quote from Dobson's book follows: "From Scotland to America.

Thomas J. Wertenbaker in his "The Spring of Colonial VA." Part II, p. 77 states that this time interval was on the average 12 or more years.] ********** Post to Waldrop Board in 2000 by Jan Dawson I do not have all the answers, but so many people seem to be uncertain about the early lineage that I thought I'd list the conclusions of a number of the authorities, based on documents and circumstantial evidence. There are many early Waldrops named Michael, Luke, Joseph, John and James, and it is easy to confuse them. The Michael line: MICHAEL I, b. c1644 Great Britain. (Scotland not proved!), d. Va. MICHAEL II, b. c1677 Va; d. aft 1727 Va. MICHAEL III, b. c1708 Va; m.

Years ago, David Smith found a name he believed to be SARAH WALDROP in the will of her father, Arthur Moseley, and he thought she had married Michael Waldrop. He shared this information, and it has been widely distributed since then. Later David said he had erred, but he could not find the proof of his error. Becoming tired of seeing this Sarah Moseley Waldrop posted on the web and in people's databases as Michael's wife, I decided to search for the proof one way or another. Arthur Moseley wrote his will in 1729 and it was proved in 1730, but those early records are not on file and many, if not most, are gone. For $20, the State Archives of Virginia will search its files for an individual, and, this seemed the only way to determine if the will was there. So, I sent an application and on it stated my dilemma about Sarah Moseley. Today I received a copy of Arthur's will. It is the cleanest, most readable reproduction I have ever seen. Knowing my problem, the librarian had been kind enough to enlarge the document to two pages, 15" X 20" in size. There is no question about what it says. Henrico Co. Deeds and Wills, 1725-1737. Reel 7a, pp. 272, 273 Arthur Moseley's will was written in Henrico Co., VA on Feb 22, 1729 and proved on July 6, 1730. Arthur mentioned his wife Elizabeth and his children. The witnesses were Micha (an abbreviation for Michael) Turpin, John Allday and R. Giles. In reference to his daughter, Sarah, it says, "Then I give and bequeath unto my daughter SARAH WALKER [NOT SARAH WALDROP!] my Negrow garl Nancy that lives with her. I allso give hur my grate black walnut char, my little black walnut table that uset to stand by the fire. One cow and calf or with calf and three other cattle. One iron poot [pot] and sute of curtains and vallins [valance] hur chire." --jd ********** Will of Arthur Mosely, Henrico Co., VA.-- Elizabeth Mosely was mentioned as the wife; Arthur, William, Robert, Thomas, and Francis were sons; Sarah Walker and Mary Giles mentioned as daughters. ********** Luke Waldrop sr: B abt 1710, VA. d before 1780 SC. More than three-fourths of the participants in the Waldrop DNA Project match proven descendants of this Luke Waldrop. The participants in the project that do not match this group are so different that there is no chance they are of this bloodline. All of the participants do not claim one of Luke Waldrop's sons for an ancestor. This strengthens our opinion that Luke was a descendant of Michael. We believe this was the Luke who first appeared in Hanover Co., VA in 1734 when he bought land from Henry and Mary Graves. Fourteen years later, he appeared on the Tax List in Granville Co., NC in 1748. There is a record of Luke in Granville Co., NC almost every year between 1748 and 1771. These tax lists are more like a census. Each male over 16 years old is indented under the head of the household. The Tax Lists of Granville Co., NC are at the NC Archives in Raleigh, NC. They cannot be copied, but can be photographed without a flash. These tax records name Luke's sons John, James, Joseph, Michael and Luke, Jr. between 1753 and 1767. Luke's son, Michael was called a brother in the household of John Waldrop in 1768. We used the tax lists to determine the birth years of Luke's sons, subtracting 16 from the year they first appeared on the tax list. Luke was granted over 800 acres in Granville Co., NC while he was there. He sold land to his sons John, James and Joseph. He also sold land to R. Johnson, Daniel Williams and William Sims. Some or all of these may have been sons-in-law. In 1772, these same Waldrops started showing up in what is today Laurens and Newberry Co., SC. We believe Luke Waldrop bought land in Laurens Co., SC. What we believe to be his youngest son, Jechonias Waldrop sold the land in Laurens Co., SC in 1780. Samuel Henderson was mentioned in documents of Luke Waldrop in Hanover Co., VA; Granville Co., NC and Laurens Co., SC. We believe all of these records refer to the same Luke Waldrop and the same Samuel Henderson. Luke Waldrop died shortly before or after the United States declared independence from Great Britain. We know he left a will because in 1784, Ambrose Hudgens included a chain of title in a land transaction that stated the land was granted to Hugh Young; sold to Luke Waldrop in 1772; willed to Jechonias Waldrop by Luke and sold to Hudgens by Jechonias. The will of Luke has not been found. South Carolina records were kept at Charleston, SC during that period. Laurens Co. was almost 200 miles north of Charleston. The turmoil of the Revolution probably contributed to this will being lost forever. Luke's wife's name was Christian. We are reasonably sure her maiden name was Trevillian. He was associated with Hendersons, Williams, Sims, Harrises, Johnsons and others in Granville Co., NC. His sons were associated with these same names in SC. The names of Luke, John and James Waldrop didn't appear on the Granville Co., NC tax lists after 1770. Joseph continued to appear on the list until 1775. We consider the adult life of Luke Waldrop well documented from 1734 to shortly before 1780. We believe he was about 70 years old when he died. The Children of Luke we have identified: John Waldrop, b. Abt 1733 Son Waldrop, b. Abt 1735 - died abt 1751. James Waldrop, b. Abt 1740 Joseph Waldrop, b. Abt 1745 Michael Waldrop, b. Abt 1748 Luke Waldrop, b. Abt 1750 Jechonias Waldrop, b. Abt 1754 We base these birth years on the year each son appeared on the Granville Co., NC tax list in Luke Waldrop's house. We believe they are very close to accurate. A daughter, Mary Ann Waldrop, b. Abt 1737 is claimed by most researchers of this line. This child is a total assumption. We can also make assumptions that unknown female children were born in about 1743 and 1752 based on the fact that women in those days seemed to have a baby every two years. ***** 1734 --- HANOVER CO., VA - An Indenture made 19 Sep 1734 between Henry Graves and Mary, his wife, and Luke Waldrup, planters, of Hanover County, VA to John Dixon, merchant, of Stratton Major Parish in King and Queen County, VA...96 pounds current money for 431 acres...between the lines of Major Leigh, John Saunders, Captain Crawford and John Matlock on George Pemberton's line...also that parcel containing 400 acres...joining the lines of John Saunders and Henry Graves...at Sims' corner White Oak Swamp...also that tract containing 400 acres...between the lines of Sims' Grant, Mr. Chiswell, Captain David Crawford, John Saunders and Henry Graves...which said tracts were granted to Henry Graves by three separate patents all dated 26 Jun 1731.

[Copy of original document in file.-CW] ********** There have been no official records found for Luke from 1734 Hanover Co., VA to 1749 Granville Co., NC. We base our assumption that this was the same man on two facts; the "mark" used by the Luke Waldrop of Hanover, VA in 1734 and the one used by Luke Waldrop of Granville Co., NC in 1749 was very similar and there was a strong Waldrop, Williams, Henderson, Graves connection in both places. Mary, wife of Henry Graves born 1706 was the daughter of John Williams and Mary Keeling. Elizabeth Williams, wife of Samuel Henderson, who witnessed the 1734 Indenture was a sister of Mary. Daniel Williams, who married Ursula Henderson was a brother of Elizabeth and Mary. No records have been found for Luke Waldrop between 1734 Hanover Co., VA. and 1749 Granville Co., NC. ********** John, James, Joseph, Michael, Luke and Jechonias are documented sons of Luke. There are land transactions between Luke and John, James and Joseph in Granville Co., NC. A land transaction in Laurens Co., SC calls the land Jechonias sold "the land willed to him by his father, Luke Waldrop". Family tradition says Mary Ann was Luke's daughter and married Samuel Henderson. These may not be all of Luke's children. There is no documentation that Luke was related to Michael Waldrop either, but we beleive there was a kinship. ********** Jan Dawson 30 Jun 2006 - I do not have any direct evidence the Williams and Waldrops were related, but I suspect there was a tie. They all lived in VA and later in Laurens Co., SC. Besides witnessing Daniel William (Sr's?) will, Luke deeded land to Daniel Williams (Jr?) at the same time he deeded land to his own sons. I've often wondered if Luke had more daughters, and Daniel Williams, as well as Richard Johnson (1765 --- Deed Book "G" p. 71. 6 Feb 1765) were not sons-in-law; However, I have no evidence they were. John Drayton Williams was a descendant of the Bollings. John Waldrop, the Rev. War soldier from Greenville, SC, married a SARAH, whom we believe was a Bolling. These Bollings were later found with the Waldrops in Laurens Co., SC along with the Hendersons and Keelings. John Drayton Williams was the grandson of Daniel Williams (Sr?) whose will Luke Waldrop witnessed. "Abstracts of Granville Co., NC.

Witnesses LUKE WALDRUP, William Sims. ********** From: "Bettye Heinrich" 1999 Michael Waldrop (Wardrope) made entry to VA in 1680 under the auspices of Thomas Clayborn, the Surveyor General and he was apprenticed as a blacksmith. I am seeing people put data out that he was born in 1680. [The date was 1682, not 1680. There is no record of any apprenticeship for Michael. He was an indentured servant, but that is all we know.--jd] Michael's son, Luke Waldrop, Sr. was bc 1712 is presumed to have been born in Hanover Co VA , not in Amelia Co VA. Luke rec'd a royal land grant in 1740 from Baron Carteret of Hawnes, England which can be found in the NC State Archives. [I know of no 1740 land grant from a Baron. Is this the 1749 grant?--jd] Luke Waldrop m. Christian Trevillian abt 1731 in VA - they removed to Granville CO NC in mid 1700s, then on to Laurens Co., SC where they are both buried. [We do not know when they were married or where they were buried. The date and place are assumptions.--jd] Their proven children are John bc 1732 Hanover CO VA/James bc 1735 Hanover Co VA / Joseph bc 1745 / Luke, Jr bc 1748 probably Hanover CO VA / Jechonais bc 1750 Granville CO NC / and it is thought that they had a dght Mary Ann bc 1737.

She was not a Moseley. ***** Documentation and descendants get a little easier with this generation of Waldrops. It still takes a vivid imagination to see the connections at times, but there are more documents and the gaps in the timelines encompass fewer years than before. One thing is certain. We don't have it all right. We have some of it right and we have recorded a lot of documents that may help us or someone down the road get it right. There are Waldrops in the Carolinas in the late 1700s and early 1800s that have been ignored. There are too many Waldrop families in GA, AL, TN, MS in the early 1800s that have no fathers. Virtually all of what we and others have done is record our opinions and suppositions based on the records we have found. That's what we share, our opinion. We call this Michael III because we have used David Smith's fabricated Michael II to hold the Waldrop family together. We call this Michael the brother of James in Caroline Co., VA because they were both mentioned in a court document in 1744. We call this Michael's wife Sarah because in 1749 Caroline Co., VA, Michael and wife, Sarah acknowledge a deed indented to James Foster. [The Samuel Waldrop [RIN 3947] of Louisa Co., VA married Jane Foster. We wonder if there is a connection]. In 1757, a Michael Waldrop showed up on New Hope Creek in Orange Co., NC. We have no evidence that Michael in Caroline Co., VA was there after 1749. Rather than say he died, we moved him to Orange Co., NC. He may have owned as much as a thousand acres of land around New Hope Creek by 1760 if the abstracts we have are accurate. We know he received a 370 acre grant in 1761 and that Thomas Nelson was a chain carrier for the Survey of this land. [Remember James Nelson's Will in 1799 Orange Co., NC gave to his sister, Elizabeth Waldrop.] Michael was in court several times in 1762 and 1763, first with William Kelly, then with James Bowie. In 1763, he was called Michael, Sr. indicating to us that there was a Michael, Jr. In 1766, Michael and Michael, Jr. applied for SC Land Grants. Senior applied for 150 acres on the Saluda River. Junior applied for 100 acres on the Enoree River. Grants at that time were based on the size of the family, one hundred acres for head of household, 50 acre for each additional family member. Michael, Jr. at some time before the survey revised his original request. He, like his father received 150 acres. Both Michael Sr. and Jr. received the grants they requested. The grants were in Craven Co., SC on the north side of the Enoree River. The Enoree River is the boundary between what became Laurens and Spartanburg Co., SC. The grants were on the Spartanburg side of the river. The first grant in 1768 was bounded on the Southwest by the Enoree River, all other sides vacant. The survey of this land was for Michael Waldrop, Jun'r. The other grant, in 1771, was bounded on the west by the Enoree, east by Edward Musgrove and other sides vacant. This was Michael Senior's land. In 1770, Michael Waldrop, "Senior" sold 150 acres to Edward Musgrove. The land description in the deed matched the grant of 1768 to "Junior". We are inclined to believe Michael, Sr. had died and it was Michael, Jr., now Sr. who sold his land to Musgrove and took up residence on the land of his father that was granted in 1771. We believe the reason for the delay was that Sr. had requested land on the Saluda originally and changed his request to the Enoree after his son's grant was received. In any event, the land bordered on the West by the Enoree River and on the East by Edward Musgrove was the property that stayed in the Waldrop family. There are several deeds in Orange Co., NC in the late 1779-1791 time period that refer to "land granted to Michael Waldrop and sold to Hart". With this evidence, we confidently call Michael Sr. and Jr. father and son and move them from Orange Co., NC to Spartanburg Co., SC. ***** 1744 --- CAROLINE CO., VA.

Information from Mark Bryan, 2007. ********** Harry Day's Creek rises in East Wake County and flows Southeast into Rocky Run Creek. ********** Stirrup Iron Creek rises in Southeast Durham County and flows Southeast into West Wake County where it enters Crabtree Creek. ********** For the most part, information on this line came from John Lyle Waldroop and Terry James Waldrop. Terry thought James may have married a Mary Henderson born 1735 in Wake Co., died 1790. Terry gave James a birth year of 1725 and called his birthplace Wake Co. ********** Jan Dawson - Myth says he was born about 1725, but there is no evidence for this. His first recorded appearance in this country was his land grant in 1746 on Stirrup Iron Creek in (now) Wake Co., NC. This was in northern NC between Raleigh and Durham. Since no wife's name was ever mentioned, it is not known if he had a wife when he arrived, or if he married later. Some speculate he may have had children by a Negro or Melungeon mate before marrying. ********** There are numerous references to James Waldrop in Wake County between 1746 and 1790 when he died intestate. Through various documents, James' sons are identified as GEORGE WARDROPE (admin.), YOUNGER WARDROPE, JAMES WARDROP JR. (aka Buckey), EDWARD WARDROP, and THOMAS WARDROPE. ********** Joanne Cooper in 2006 said he was born in 1720. ********** Rich Nallenweg - Dec 2006 - I show 4 sons for James who died in Wake Co: James, Edward, George and Younger. Edward did have a son, Eli who lived in Macon Co, NC. Here is his death record: !DEATH: Macon County Estate record CR.061.508.25 @ Raleigh Archives. Nancy Waldroop is named. Admr David Waldroop is named. Thomas Waldroop is named. I do not show a son named Ambrose for Eli. In fact, I do not have any Ambrose Wardreps in my database. ********** DWW/HLW/JD [Notes from HLW - This James Wardrope was said to have sold supplies to Patriots during the Rev. War -- the records attached to each son should qualify descendants for the DAR.; received first land grant in 1746, Wake Co. N.C. Family Tradition says he was born in Ireland.] ********** [Note from Jan Dawson: There is a series of books called The Foxfire Books, in which are recorded interviews of older NC residents by high school students. The purpose of the project was to preserve the history and culture of a local NC area. Excerpts having to do with Waldrops were sent by Jan Dawson to David Smith. Following are David's comments to Jan Dawson, 3/95] "Mrs. Arie Meaders also said that her grandfather's father came to the country from Ireland and that he was named Ned. Obviously, Mrs. Meaders was quoted incorrectly, or she was confused, because she had stated earlier that her grandfather's father was called "Black Bill" Waldroop. However, the father of her "Black Bill" Waldroop was named Edward Wardrop and "Ned" is a diminutive for Edward. Even so, we know that this Edward was born in Wake Co., NC, and that he himself did not come over from Ireland. This Edward was a son of James Wardrop who died in 1790, in Wake Co., NC. However, we know nothing about this James Wardrop prior to the time he received the Land Grant in Wake Co., NC, in 1746. Thus, he could well have come to this country from Ireland. In my research I have come across numerous instances where a person relating a Family Tradition about someone that far back was confused as to "who actually did what". Thus, I certainly tend to accept that the progenitor of this line in America came to this country from Ireland. "In all of our research there is only one other Family Tradition which states that the progenitor of the line came to this country from Ireland. That is the line of U. V. Waldrop of Germantown, TN, which traces back to James Waldrop who died in 1772, in Pittsylvania Co., VA. According to this Family Tradition there were three brothers who were banished to this country, from Ireland, when they were quite young. When they got to this country they were sold as Indentures to pay for their passage. As I remember U. V. telling this Family Tradition, nothing was said about the father (or parents) of these young boys. However, since they were quite young I certainly would presume that the entire family was banished, and not just these 3 quite young boys. "We have theorized that these 3 boys turned out to be the James and John Waldrop of Amelia Co., VA, Pittsylvania Co., VA, etc., and David Waldrop of Westmoreland Co., VA. I might mention that at one time Jim Waldrop of Landrum Co., SC, said that he thought that, the above-mentioned James Waldrop, who died in 1772, in Pittsylvania Co., VA, was the father of the John Waldrop who was associated with him in Amelia Co., VA, and Pittsylvania Co., VA. However, I never could understand Jim's reason for thinking this. "However, in view of Mrs. Meaders statement in the Foxfire book I must admit that it may well be that Jim was correct and that the father of the 3 young boys who was banished to this country from Ireland was the above-mentioned James Waldrop who died in 1772, in Pittsylvania Co., VA, and that his three sons were: John who was associated with him in Amelia and Pittsylvania Counties, VA; David Waldrop of Westmoreland Co., VA; and the above-mentioned James Wardrop who died in 1790, in Wake Co., NC." (No! James, who died 1772 in Pittsylvania Co., VA left a will in which he said he had only one son, James. The son James married Mary Morrison and moved to Georgia, so he can't be the James of Wake Co., NC--jd) --End notes by David Smith Joseph Waldrop ( "Worlddrop") Place and sate of birth unknown. Died 1775 Amelia Co VA. Researchers have resisted taking this Joseph Waldrop into the family of Michael and Luke for many years. While King William, Caroline, Louisa and Hanover Co., VA are closely connected, Amelia Co. is several counties away. Joseph's name was spelled Worldrop instead of Waldrop. There was no evidence that the Amelia Co. Waldrops were acquainted with the SC Waldrops. One of the biggest reasons was probably a John and James Waldrop in Amelia Co., VA at the same time Joseph was there. Researchers didn't connect these three men to each other, either. The John Waldrop of Amelia was brought to SC and was a convenient dumping place for Waldrops that didn't fit the families of the descendants of Luke Waldrop. However, imaginings have a way of catching up with us. Descendants of this Joseph in the DNA Project have the same bloodline as most of the SC Waldrops. The records of Amelia Co., VA are extant and Joseph appears many times in the records from 1735 to 1775. His Will in 1775 named his children and his wife. He had a son, Luke, Michael, Joseph and William. These names are most familiar with descendants of Luke and Michael in SC. It may not be a coincidence that Joseph was on the same tax list (David Greenhill's) in 1763 that John and James Waldrop were on. Joseph's age would make him eligible to be a brother of Luke, Michael and James. Before DNA, this Joseph was thought to be an immigrant. He was listed on the Amelia Co., VA tithe lists from 1735 thru 1747, but his tithe was paid by someone else. He first paid tithes for himself in 1748. However, there is a participant in the SMGF DNA project that claims he descends from this Joseph. If he is correct, then, this Joseph is related to Luke and Christian Waldrop. The DNA is a match. It is still possible that this was a cousin that immigrated years later, making him related to Luke "not in this country". It is also possible that this Joseph was a son of our imagined Michael II. In any case, this Joseph left the family he was born to very early in his life. His name has, like most of our ancestors, been spelled in a variety of ways. But, in modern times, most of the descendants of this Joseph spell their name Waltrip. ***** 1735 --- AMELIA CO., VA. Tax List. No details 1736 --- AMELIA CO., VA. Tithe List. Living with Thos.

No witnesses. Rec: Order for recording not entered, but Tabb obtained possession land on 22 May 1777. ********** Ann is the only documented wife. ********** Note from David Smith to Jan Dawson - "Possibly Joseph had three wives. If so, no info on his first wife. His second wife would have been Elizabeth Vest (West), widow of Valentine Vest, and his third wife was Ann. The first 5-6 children were by his first wife; his last 4-5 children were by Elizabeth. He had no children by Ann, whom a descendant said ran off with another man. There is no proof of this, although the younger children definitely went to live with neighbors after Joseph died." ********** Note by Jan Dawson--This is not the same Joseph as James Joseph Wardrop. The locations and children are different. ********** Note by Howard Leon Waldrop--In Jan 1941 Allie Wright Osborne wrote her remembrances of the Waltrip family history. Allie was 71 years old at the time. In Oct 1986, Jun 1987, and lastly Jul 1987, David R. Dawdy made several additions to Allie's first record. The first few generations are from their accounts. Old family tradition said the Waltrips came from Wales to VA. This is obviously not true since one of the so-called brothers was born in VA in 1776. Descendants of Jesse Waltrip were living in Davies Co., KY. in 1991 according to William Reuben Waltrip, 3rd great grandson of Joseph Waltrip who wrote a short family history in August 1991. ********** Email exchange between Carolyn Anderson, Gary Hicks, Howard H. Waldrop, H. L. Waldrop concerning Sarah Barnes who married Griffin Waldrop, son of Michael Waldrop, son of Joseph Waldrop of Amelia Co., VA. May 2002. *** Carolyn Mason Anderson to GARY HICKS, May 10, 2002 Subject: Barnes and Waldrop Please help me out as you show Sally Barnes Rivers, daughter of William Rivers and Susannah Barnes marrying Graffan Waldrop. I have been searching these Barnes for many months now in hopes of finding the maiden name of Susannah who married John Barnes. Susannah is shown on another document as Susannah Barnes, giving permission for her daughter Sally Barnes to marry Graffan Waldript in 1792. My cousin located this document at the Memphis Library. I had realized that with Susannah giving permission, that this would probably mean that John Barnes had died by 1792. Did John Barnes' widow Susannah married William Rivers secondly? If so, then why is she listed as Susannah Barnes when she died in October 1820 Greensville Co., VA? Let me show you how confused this is. In the Greensville Co., VA records it shows that William Rivers married Susannah Richardson in 1789. That William Rivers gave permission for Sally Barnes Rivers to marry in 1792 and that he was her father. Elizabeth Wager's will dated 1784 Sussex Co., VA notes Sally Barnes was the daughter of John Barnes and was left items from Wager's estate. Then in a deed where Bennett Barnes and wife Susanna Simmons Whitehorn were selling lands in 1822 Greensville Co. VA, these lands are noted as those passed to Bennett Barnes by Sally Waldript. Bennett Barnes was the youngest son of John Barnes and Susannah. John and Susannah Barnes were my third grgrandparents through their daughter Lizza who married Henry Mason 1816 Greensville Co. Do you by chance have another source document noting the marriage date of Susannah Barnes and William Rivers? *** GARY HICKS REPLY TO CAROLYN ANDERSON - Contact Howard H. Waldrop *** CAROLYN ANDERSON TO HOWARD H. WALDROP Gary Hicks suggested I contact you regarding Sally Barnes who married Graffan Waldript (Griffin Waldrop). I have gone back to the original marriage note which shows Sally Barnes m. Graffan Waldrip. William Rivers, Father. Then to the Memphis Library which notes "1792 December 13 Graffan Waldript Sally Barnes d/o Susanna Barns, bond William Rivers. Howard, do you have any other source showing the marriage of Sally Barnes and Griffin Waldrop above and Sally's relationship to William Rivers? I have been researching these Barnes for many months now and the above is really confusing to me. Sally Barnes is first mentioned in the Estate of Elizabeth Wager 1792 Sussex Co. when Sally, daughter of John Barnes, is left from this estate. Then Susannah Barnes is noted as the mother of William Barnes in his will of 1804 Greensville Co. In the 1783 Greensville Census, Elizabeth Wager is noted as is John Barnes. Susannah Barnes' son Bennett Barnes married Susanna Simmons Whitehorn, widow of Philemon Whitehorn, 1815 Sussex Co. In 1822 Bennett Barnes sells lands in Greensville Co., left to him by Sally Waldript. The other children I have for Susannah Barnes are: John Barnes Jr. who married Elizabeth Bass 1803 Greensville Co. and who raised by ggrandfather Thomas R. Mason born 1818 Greensville Co., following the death of his parents. A masonic document in Arkansas notes that Thomas R. Mason lost his parents as a small boy and was raised by his uncle in Greensville. Lizza Barnes married Henry Mason 1816 Greensville Co. Lizza was the sister of John Barnes. There was another brother by the name of Richard Barnes who married Polly Wray and died 1825 in Greensville Co. Also, a sister named Rebecca Barnes who married Hartwell Adams 1821 Greensville. 1827 Greensville Co. Bennett and wife Susanna along with Rebecca and husband Hartwell Adams sold lands left them by Susannah Barnes. These lands were next to those of Lizza (Elizabeth) Mason and Crawley House. Susannah Barnes died in Oct. 1820 Greensville Co. All of her living children were assisting in this estate. Sally Waldript is not mentioned and with Bennett selling lands left him by her in 1822, she must have died prior to Oct. 1820? Howard, from 1792 until 1804 Susannah Barnes is not mentioned in Greensville Co. Then after receiving the estate and lands of her deceased son William Barnes in 1804, she did not pay property taxes on these lands until 1811. Was Susannah Barnes a sister of William Rivers Jr. or did they marry and then he died and she took back the Barnes surname? What I have for William Rivers is that he married Susannah Richardson in 1792. Was Susannah Barnes' maiden name Richardson? As you can see there are problems with the above. I so hope you will be able to help me in solving this mystery. *** HOWARD H. WALDROP REPLY TO CAROLYN ANDERSON I have Grafton/ Griffon Waltrip as a son of Michael Waltrip; Michael was a son of Joseph "Worlddrop" d 1775 Amelia Co, VA. Grafton/Griffin married Sallie Barnes Rivers in Greensville Co VA. The parents of Joseph are unknown. You should e mail HL Waldrop at hlwaldrop@juno.com.

WALDROP *** On Mon, 13 May 2002 Carolyn Anderson, writes: Dear H.L., I'm writing you per the note from Harold Waldrop regarding Sally Barnes noted as Sally Barnes Rivers, daughter of Susannah Barnes and William Rivers when Sally married Graffan Waldript (Griffen Waldrop) 1792 Greensville Co. As I asked of Harold and all of these messages listed below (smile)I'm hoping perhaps you may have a source document showing that Susannah Barnes married William Rivers? What I have is that Sally Barnes is listed as having William Rivers as her father in the Greensville Co. records. Then at the Memphis Library the marriage bond of Sally and Graffan is listed this way: 2-13-1793 Graffan Waldript married Sally Barnes daughter of Susanna Barnes. Surety William Rivers. I know that a William Rivers married Susannah Richardson 1792 in Greensville Co. Is this the same William Rivers? Is is possible that William Rivers was a brother to Susannah Barnes? H. L. would you please read through this long message. I next have Sally Waldript leaving lands to Bennett Barnes, her brother, in Greensville Co. prior to 1822 and probably prior to 1820 as she is not listed in her mother Susannah Barnes' estate in Oct. 1820. If you can help me in clearing up this mystery I surely would appreciate your assistance. Sincerely, Carolyn Anderson *** H. L.

I have that Sally Barnes Rivers was daughter of William Rivers and Susanna Barnes. You have Graffan [Griffin, Grafton???] Waldrop's lineage as I have it. The John Waldrop who also married Sally Barnes Rivers is a mystery. As far as I know, no one knows his ancestry. Sure would be interested if you have any clues for his father. I suspect [no proof] he is the John, Will probated March term 1795 Northampton Co., NC., son of Michael and brother to Graffan. Probably married his sister-in-law in 1803, after death of Graffon. I have that Sally Barnes Rivers was married 13 Feb 1793 Greenville Co., VA. to Graffon. You Wrote: I know that a William Rivers married Susannah Richardson 1792 in Greensville Co.

From Habersham County Tax Digest, 1850; Joseph Waldrep paid Poll Tax; 40 acres, Lot 105, District 11. In same tax Digest, S. E.(I?) Waldrep paid Poll Tax. The Tax Digest also shows Joseph with land in Lot 95, Section 11. Photocopy of sheet sent to me by Mimi Jo Butler in October 1999. Lot 95 was awarded to Ethenbert Russell in 1831. Information on this family is from many sources, especially from census records, records of the Providence Baptist Church in Batesville, GA, courthouse records in the Habersham Co Courthouse in Clarkesville, GA, but most was from family sources. Joseph Brown Waldrep, Jr. of Gainesville, GA provided information about parents and early family. James L. Waldrep of Dahlonega, GA provided very extensive information about many others and especially about descendants of James Lafayette Waldrep who was his great-grandfather. Records about Joseph and his descendants are in the possession of James L. Waldrep of Dahlonega, GA and Lloyd A. Waldrep, a Texan who is temporarily of Minnetonka, MN. Mickye Waldrep of OR has many records, especially of the Texas, California and Oregon family members. The place where Joseph lived and paid taxes on (Lot 105, District 11) in Habersham County was originally awarded to Darlin Sapp in the 1827 GA Land Lottery. Darlin Sapp was a resident of Liberty Co GA at the time he enteredthe Lottery, but died shortly afterward (about 1827) in Tatnall Co GA. Buddy Sapp has a copy of the Will of Darlin Sapp in which he left all his property to his wife Sarah and to two sons, Henry and Bartley Sapp. This land in Habersham County was sold on 16 Aug. 1882 to James J.Harris by George E. Waldrep (the youngest son of Joseph and Tabitha Waldrep) and was recorded on 20 Dec. 1886. Witnesses: Joseph R. Morrison and Jesse Morrison. Joseph only owned part of the original Lot 105, District 11. We did not find Joseph or Tabitha in cemetery listings for Habersham County GA or in any other record, but are still searching. In the 1832 Cherokee County Georgia Land Lottery, Joseph Waldrup was granted Land Lot 222, 4th District, 2nd Section, (Sutton) Habersham Co. Furnished by Felton Waldrep in 1995. Joseph sold land he received in Cherokee Co GA to Mr. Jesse Green on 30 Oct. 1833. The copy of the deed copy in our files came from the files of Mimi Jo Butler. Lot No. 222, District 4, Sec. 2, Cherokee Co Georgia, Book A, Page 101. 1830/40/50/60 U.S. Census Habersham County, Georgia. 1850 Census lists Aaron Wooten, age 38 in household. 1860 Census list Mahulda Wooten, age 36, and son Benjamin Wooten, age 8. Informant: Mrs. Margaret L. Waldrep, OR Search of National Archives failed to show Joseph receiving a Federal Land Grant. From the 1860 Minutes of Providence Baptist Church of Batesville, GA, mention is made "received acknowledgement of J. J. Waldroupe." Was this our Joseph? If so is his full name John Joseph Waldroup or James Joseph Waldroup? John Joseph is a name used several times in one line of descendants. Spelling of the surname has been shown in various ways over the years. In the Habersham County records, Waldrope, Waldroup, Waldroupe, Waldrup, Waldrop have been used. In the church records, both of Providence Baptist Church in Batesville and of Bethlehem Baptist Church of Clarkesville, the spelling was Waldroup in most instances until well after 1870, and then Waldrep was the usual spelling. There are a number of photocopies of original courthouse records (made by Lloyd Waldrep, Jim Waldrep and Mimi Jo Butler in summer of 1993) in the files of Lloyd Waldrep. Pictures were taken on many headstones in the cemetery during this trip and are in files of Lloyd A. Waldrep. Judith Harris Ray, a descendant through his son George E. Waldroup, said that Joseph and Tabitha came to GA from Abbeville, SC. The Habersham County GA census for 1840 was sent by Mimi Jo Butler and is a copy of part of the actual census records. Joseph Waldrup is shown with one male under five, one male between 5 and under 10, two males 10 and under 15, one male 40 and under 50. Females are one five and under 10, one 15 and under 20, and one 30 and under 40. Others living nearby include Daniel Morrison, Amos Hill, John C. Harris, James Crow in one direction and John F. Canon, J. C. Garrard, David Hill, Bryant Hill, Simion Free etc in the other direction.

To add a profile to the WARD Name Study, insert [[Category: Ward Name Study]] before the Biography. Ward name Origin Surname Origin: English, Irish The Ward surname is of Old English origin and Old Gaelic origin dating to before the Norman conquest of 1066. The name is from the Old English weard, meaning guard or watchman. Irish families used to take their surname from the leader or chief of their clan and the Wards descended from a bard. They became one of the most learned clans in medieval Ireland, in law, medicine and history. The clan originated in Ulster and are said to have descended from Fiacha Araidhe who was King of Ulster in the 3rd century AD. Fiacha’s son Eocha later led the clan into Connacht. They were one of the tribes of the Six Soghin, who were a race of people in Ireland. They settled in the kingdom of Tír Sogháin, which is the area now known as County Galway. The village of Ballymacward is named after them. They were hereditary bards to the O’Kellys and the O’Connors. Millions left Ireland in search of better prospects. They headed in greatest numbers to Australia, Britain, Canada and the United States.

[[Category:Warner Name Study]] [[Category:DNA Projects]] ====Some History of the Warner Name==== '''In America: ''' The origin for Warners in America may have been from England, Ireland, Germany, or they may even have been Jewish. English Warners From England came Augustine Warner, who arrived in Virginia in 1628 at the age of seventeen. He was the progenitor of the Warner Lewis family of Warner Hall, one of Virginia's leading colonial families. Another early Warner line began with John Warner from Essex who arrived in New England in the 1630's and was an early settler of Farmington, Connecticut. Son Andrew was one of the founders of Hartford, Connecticut (Lucien Warner's 1919 book The Descendants of Andrew Warner covered this line). Descendants of these Warners included Colonel Seth Warner of the Green Mountain Boys, a Vermont militia group at the time of the Revolutionary War. Warners settled in Pennsylvania as well. Captain William Warner came in 1675 and started the Blockley plantation (named after his English home in Worcestershire). Twelve generations of his family have been traced. Hayward Dare Warner's 1971 book A Warner Family Narrative recorded this history. Benjamin Warner began a bookselling company in Philadelphia which expanded in the 19th century to a very large book publishing business. He and his brother Joseph owned the Chamonix mansion in Fairmount Park. They are believed to have been descended from the Joseph Warner who arrived in Philadelphia in 1726. Irish Warners From Dublin in Ireland came Wettenhall Warner sometimes in the 1760's. He married, settled, and raised a family in Orangeburg, South Carolina. Later Warners moved onto Louisiana and Texas. A descendant J.T. Warner compiled a genealogy of the family in 1894 which was incorporated into Russ Williams' 1968 book Kinsmen All. Some later Warners from Ireland were: Henry Warner from Dublin who, it was said, "ran away and enlisted as a common sailor before the mast" and ended up in Pittsburgh Warners who left Macroom in Cork for Boston in the 1830's and a Warner family who went from Cork to Texas in 1852. ''http://www.selectsurnames2.com/warner.html'' Another source states the following: The early colonial records show that there were five immigrants of the name of Warner who came to America in or before 1639. The first was Andrew Warner, who was residing in Cambridge in 1632. Another was John Warner, who came on the ship Increase in 1635, and settled in Providence, R. I., in or before 1637, at which time he signed a "Compact" in that place. Later he went back to England with his family, but his son John returned to Rhode Island in 1655 where he afterwards resided. In 1676 he was married to Ann Gorton. The third was William Warner, who came from England in 1637 accompanied by his two sons, John and David, and settled in Ipswich, Mass. This family has a large number of descendants residing in New England and scattered throughout the states. The fourth was John Warner, who appears among the original proprietors of Hartford in 1639 and later was one of the original settlers of the town of Farmington. He died in 1679, when he was planning to remove to Waterbury. Colonel Seth Warner of Revolutionary fame is descended from the line of John 1 Warner of Farmington, Conn. ; John 2 of Waterbury, Conn. ; Doctor Ebenezer 3 and Martha (Galpin) of Woodbury, Conn.; Doctor Benjamin 4 and Silence (Hurd) of Woodbury and Arlington, Vt. Colonel Seth 5 , born May 6, 1743, died December 26, 1784, mar- ried Hester Hurd. Colonel Seth Warner was third in command of the forces at the taking of Ticonderoga by Colonel Ethan Allen, May 10, 1777, was in the battle of Bennington, August 16, 1777, and was in command at the taking of Crown Point. A monument has been erected to him in his native town, Roxbury, Conn., and another is in Bennington, Vt. The fifth was Captain Augustine W T arner, who came to Virginia about 1628 and settled in York County. Later, in 1656, he removed to Gloucester County, where he acquired a large estate and was prominent in the affairs of the colony. His son, Colonel Augustine, was educated in England and succeeded to his father's estate and influence in the colony. He married Mildred, the daughter of George Reade, and their daughter, Mildred, married Lawrence Washington the grandfather of General George Washington. No direct relationship has been traced between any of these families, but the fact that the John Warner who settled in Hartford was a fellow townsman of Andrew Warner in both Hartford and Farmington makes it probable that he was connected with the Hatfield Broad Oak family, perhaps a brother or cousin of Andrew Warner. This probability is strengthened by the names of his four children: John, Daniel, Thomas and Sarah, as John and Thomas were the names of two of the children of John W'arner of Great W^altham and also of his son John 2 Warner of Hatfield Broad Oak, while John and Daniel were the names of two of the children of Andrew Warner.

Ideas for posts: Meaning of the Washburn surname, geographical origin of the Washburn surname, Washburn veterans, famous Washburn family members Please post any questions or other items of interest! === The Washburn Name and Variations === The Name—anciently Wasseburn or born. C. W. Bardsley's Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames states that Wasse was anciently and still is a common surname in Yorkshire. It is a place name derived from the various river and sea beaches subject to overflow by floods and tides, hence known as wasses and now as cashes. Wasseburn to our ancestors signified a flowing stream. The little ham that stood upon its banks took its name from the stream, and the proprietor or lord of the village was so and so de Wasseborn, just as the parson was the most important person in the parish. The form Wasseborn is the form first met with about 1100; and Wasseborn or burn continued in common use by the family with the occasional addition of a final "e" till about the middle of the 17th century when the family wrote the name Washbourne, a form which still prevails in England. Through all the first two periods, writers of public documents, even of wills, felt themselves at liberty to suit their own convenience or taste in spelling the name, so that great varieties of spelling are found in public documents and varieties in the same document. Thus in the will of John Washburn of Bengeworth, it is Wassheburns; in his wife's Wasborn; in his son's Wasburne and in the inventory Wasborne; in the burgess' will Washborne; in his wife's Wasburne and Washborne; in the public registers of Bengeworth pretty uniformly Wasborne. John the emigrant wrote his name Washborn. In America three forms of spelling have prevailed,—Washburn, the most common, Washborn, and Washburne, with even a greater variety of freak spelling of the name than is found in England, and not always by outsiders.. : From; "Ebenezer Washburn: His Ancestors and Descendants" by ''Geo.

English: habitational name from a place on the Weaver river in Cheshire, now called Weaver Hall but recorded simply as Weuere in the 13th and 14th centuries.

The Coat of Arms which is used was prepared by a professional heraldist who studied the subject in England and who claims that it is the correct Coat of Arms for our family. It was submitted to an authority in London, Eng., who stated that it is the Coat of Arms of the Weavers of Herefordshire and hence the one which we should use. It is thus described: Arms = Sa. two bars arg.: in chief three garbs or. Crest = A ram’s head erased arg. Motto = Esto Fidelis (Be Faithful). Sa. = Black. or. = Gold. arg. = Silver or white. Garbs = Sheaves of Wheat. Erased = Torn off. Armed = Horns another color. In chief = The upper part of shield. The ornamental parts which do not affect its integrity are: Helmet. Mantling = The flourishing ornament attached to the Helmet. Scroll for motto. According to Dwnn’s Visitation of Wale; the Coat of Arms which should be used by the Weavers of Herefordshire and hence, also by Clement Weaver and by us his descendants, is the “Arms of Cadwgan of Nannau.” It is a plain black shield surrounded by an ornamental scroll. No motto is mentioned.

There have been various accounts that it was 4 brothers, or 3 brothers and a nephew. This [[Space:Weddington_Name_Study#Unsubstantiated_Story_of_Benjamin_and_Four_Sons|story of "Benjamin and four sons"]] has been traced and is completely unsubstantiated. Over time more information has come to light about the Weddington family: * Email from Elizabeth Harris, information from Jerry Pruitt * History from website of Bill Weddington These are reproduced at the end of this page in the Research Notes. These sources refer to a book: * ''[[Space:The_Weddington_Family|The Weddington Family: A History]]'', compiled by [[Weddington-241|Andy Simmons Weddington]], originally published in 1960. {{Image|file=Weddington_Name_Study-1.jpg |align=c |size=m |caption=Inside title page, ''The Weddington Family'' book, republished 2000. }} {{Clear}} An online copy of this book (see link above) is also available, which was republished in 2000. The publication was cleaned up but no new information was added then. Up until now, this has been the most comprehensive Weddington genealogical work. The work here on WikiTree has now surpassed it. Considering the original publication date of the book of 1960, it does not contain recent information, and some errors have been found, and corrected here on WikiTree. This book mainly covers the Weddington family that is claimed to have immigrated from England and found in North Carolina. From North Carolina, descendants went to Indiana (and then Iowa and California), Georgia, Tennessee, Arkansas (and then Texas), and from these places to elsewhere in the United States. Also in that book is a separate section on the Weddington family (or families) that originates in Kentucky, and further back into Virginia. More on both of these families, below. ==== Weddington Family from North Carolina ==== The main progenitor of the family in North Carolina is [[Weddington-989|William Weddington]] and his wife [[Unknown-346282|Elizabeth]]. He also likely went by the surname "Waddington" and the accidental spelling change just stuck. His wife and children are listed in his Will. Their children are: * [[Weddington-990|William (Jr.)]]: We have very little information on William himself, however, his descendants are known. This branch went south, primarily to Georgia and Alabama. Some records of this family are scarce, my guess is due to the after effects of the Civil War, making piecing together this branch a bit of a challenge. * [[Weddington-7|John]]: His descendants have stayed primarily in North Carolina. * [[Weddington-134|Samuel]]: Samuel had 12 children. His descendants are prolific and dispersed to several locations: ** Tennessee, where there is a large Weddington branch to this day ** Arkansas, and from there to Texas and elsewhere ** Indiana, and from there to Iowa and then to California, where there were some notable members ** and some that also stayed in North Carolina. * [[Weddington-991|Robert]]: Very little is known about Robert, other than his marriage. There is some strong circumstantial evidence that he went to Georgia, and had one child. Descendants seemed to stay mostly in Georgia. This is a small branch of the family. * [[Weddington-1829|Elizabeth]]: Very little is known about Elizabeth other than her marriage. We currently don't have any information if they had descendants. More research is needed. * Frances: She supposedly died young, but no record has been found of her, other than being listed in her father's will. ==== Weddington Family from Virginia / Kentucky ==== Regarding the Kentucky / Virginia Weddington family (or families), on page 123 of ''[[Space:The_Weddington_Family|The Weddington Family: A History]]'', [[Weddington-241|Andy Simmons Weddington]] writes: :''"The following pages are the history of the Weddingtons that came from Virginia to Kentucky in about 1790. The information I have is only sketchy, however, very fortunately I have some history that is interesting. We begin with Honorable Robert M. Weddington: I do not (have) the date of this narrative, therefore you will need to read it with that in mind."'' A small history of Weddington family in Kentucky follows, from page 123 to the second paragraph on page 125. Andy ends it with a run-on sentence, mid-paragraph: : ''"The foregoing is as it came to me, I do not (know) the author or the date it was written. Seems any one would be glad to claim that branch of the family as their own. I am sure that if some of them would work at it they could make up a Genealogy they would be proud of."'' That entire text that Andy quotes about the history of Kentucky Weddingtons comes from this book: * ''[[Space:The_Big_Sandy_Valley|The Big Sandy Valley: A History of the People and Country from the Earliest Settlement to the Present Time]]'', by William Ely {{Image|file=Weddington_Name_Study-2.jpg |align=c |size=m |caption=Inside title page, ''The Big Sandy Valley'', by William Ely, 1887. }} {{Clear}} The original book was published in Catlettsburg, Kentucky in 1887. This work refers to two brothers: [[Weddington-29|Jacob Weddington]] and [[Weddington-257|Henry Weddington]]. William Ely states: : ''"Henry and his brother, Jacob Weddington, the founders of the house on the Sandy, came from Virginia when mere boys, in 1790. The Weddingtons were originally North Carolina people. The two plucky boys went to work with the determination to succeed. They stopped in what is now Pike County, Kentucky."'' Currently, there are no known records of the parents of either Jacob, nor of Henry. Up until recently, this statement in ''The Big Sandy Valley'' was all that we had to go on to determine any relationship between Jacob and Henry. '''News 31 March 2023!''': Recent DNA evidence and research seems to establish that Jacob and Henry are, in fact, brothers. Work is ongoing to confirm with further evidence. While [[Weddington-29|Jacob Weddington]] and [[Weddington-257|Henry Weddington]] can be found in Pike County, Kentucky, the actual records disprove the timing of their arrival in Kentucky. Henry Weddington first shows up in a Census record in Floyd County, Kentucky in the 1810 US Census, and is also found in Pike County, Kentucky in the 1830 US Census. We now have a record of his marriage in Floyd County, Kentucky in 1804. This is the earliest record that we have that shows Henry in Kentucky. From accounts of his date of marriage, and Census records, we calculate that he was born sometime 1780 to 1786. This shows that Henry was 24 to 30 years old at the time of the 1810 Census showing him Kentucky. While the records of Henry are somewhat inconclusive, the records of [[Weddington-29|Jacob Weddington]] are clearer. From the record of his third marriage, we find that Jacob was born in 1777 in Shenandoah County, Virginia. All of his children from his first marriage were born in Virginia. The 1820 and 1830 US Census records show Jacob was in Virginia. The 1840 US Census shows Jacob residing in Pike County, Kentucky. We can narrow the date range down further for his arrival in Kentucky. Jacob's son, [[Weddington-68|James]] had his first three children born in Virginia, the third being born in 1831. James' son, [[Weddington-84|John Fletcher Weddington]] was born in 1836 in Kentucky. Further there is a record of Jacob serving on a Jury in Pike County, Kentucky, in February 1836, and another record of Jacob selling property in Virginia in October of 1836. It looks likely that James moved out to Kentucky first, with his father, Jacob, coming shortly thereafter. This places Jacob arriving in Kentucky sometime in 1835-1836 at about 58-59 years old. This is a far cry from arriving "from Virginia when mere boys", as William Ely states in his book, ''The Big Sandy Valley''. For the sake of argument, if Jacob and Henry had come out to Kentucky as boys, one would also expect to find records of their parents in some way. Whether Census records, property or tax records, or perhaps graves. However, currently there are no other earlier records of Weddingtons in Kentucky, than those of Jacob and Henry themselves. Other researchers have also postulated that perhaps Jacob moved back and forth between Kentucky and Virginia. However, the sources for Jacob show a very consistent presence in Virginia until he moved to Kentucky. There are numerous legal and tax records in Virginia for Jacob Weddington over a long period of time. If the truth of when Jacob and Henry arrived in Kentucky is called into question, then the next statement from William Ely can be questioned too: "''The Weddingtons were originally North Carolina people.''" While this is nominally true, in that there is a large family of Weddingtons from North Carolina, we are left without much data or sources about the background of Jacob and Henry. We know that Jacob was born in Virginia and lived there. We have no earlier records of Henry to show whether he was from Virginia or not. Just a tentative reference from William Ely that they were brothers, and certainly they were both found in Pike County, Kentucky. However, no records have yet been found linking the North Carolina Weddington family, or descendants, to anywhere in Virginia at that time period. If these two branches are related, then there is a serious gap in the records that has yet to be filled, or proven. But are Henry and Jacob related to the North Carolina Weddington family? There seems to be a number of references in ''[[Space:The_Weddington_Family|The Weddington Family: A History]]'' book by Andy Simmons Weddington, that the North Carolina Weddington family was descended from a [[Weddington-989|William Waddington (Weddington)]] who immigrated from England. Curiously, there is a newspaper article in [http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn86069309/1879-05-14/ed-1/seq-7/#date1=1836&sort=date&rows=50&words=Weddington&searchType=basic&sequence=0&index=20&state=&date2=1922&proxtext=Weddington&y=9&x=8&dateFilterType=yearRange&page=4 The Breckenridge News, Cloverport, Kentucky, 14 May, 1879], about a "Sketch of the Life of Judge Hargis". This is a short biography of [[Hargis-506|Judge Thomas Frazier Hargis]], whose mother is [[Weddington-40|Elizabeth (Weddington) Hargis]], daughter of [[Weddington-29|Jacob Weddington]]. The article states: : ''"His mother was also a native of Washington county, Va., '''of German origin''', and daughter of Jacob Weddington, an early settler of Pike and Morgan counties of this State and a soldier in the war of 1812."'' If the Kentucky Weddington family is related to the North Carolina Weddington family, wouldn't [[Weddington-40|Elizabeth (Weddington) Hargis]] be of English origin? Why would the writer of this article state that the Weddington family is of German origin? The Shenandoah Valley (and County) of Virginia is known to have many families originating from Germany. See, for example, [https://archive.org/details/germanelementofs00waylan The German Element of the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia]. Jacob Weddington is known to have been born there. But what about the last name Weddington? That form of last name is typically English in origin. However, there were many German immigrants to the United States that anglicized their last names to better fit in (see [http://loyolanotredamelib.org/php/report05/articles/pdfs/Report43Eichhoff23-36.pdf ''Types of German Surname Changes in America'']). A search of records at FamilySearch.org shows quite a number of records with [https://familysearch.org/search/record/results?count=20&query=%2Bsurname%3AWedding~%20%2Bbirth_place%3AGermany~ the last name of Wedding born in Germany], including going back to the 1700s. Perhaps it is possible that a German family immigrated to Shenandoah, Virginia, with the last name of Wedding, anglicized it to Weddington, and that this is the source of the Weddington family in Kentucky. This would make them unrelated to the North Carolina Weddington family. Another possibility of a name alteration is the [https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/MV72-Y6D example here of Ferd Weddigen, who emigrated from Germany]. At this point, this is just speculation, based on what facts are known at this time. More research is needed to either prove, or disprove this theory. Perhaps the only way to solve this would be through comparing DNA tests between the North Carolina line of Weddingtons and the Kentucky line of Weddingtons. See the [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Weddington_Name_Study#Weddington_DNA Weddington DNA] section below. Lastly, there is [[Weddington-26|Martha (Weddington) Hatfield]], who is the matron of the Hatfield clan of the infamous [[Project:Hatfield_and_McCoy|Hatfield & McCoy]] feud. She is supposedly born in 1789 in Washington County, Virginia, and supposedly married [[Hatfield-317|Valentine Hatfield]] in 1805 in Russell County, Virginia. I say supposedly, because there are so few sources to corroborate this information. Most of the sources regarding the genealogy of the Hatfields list a Martha Weddington as the matron of the family without any evidence to back up the claims. If the information is correct, then she would be in the same area, or even county, as [[Weddington-29|Jacob Weddington]] at the same time, in the early 1800s. Are they related? It would be difficult to imagine that they were not related given the location and timing. However, primary sources have been elusive. Again, perhaps the only way to solve this mystery would be through DNA testing. This is why I have described it as Weddington families, in plural, from Virginia / Kentucky. Brothers [[Weddington-29|Jacob Weddington]] and [[Weddington-257|Henry Weddington]], and their possible / probable sister [[Weddington-26|Martha (Weddington) Hatfield]]. It is important to note that other online genealogies of these families sometimes show parents for Jacob and Henry, that also tie them to the North Carolina Weddington family. To date, every single one of these genealogies have no sources or proof of their parents or connections to other Weddingtons. It is important that we keep a well sourced Weddington genealogy here on WikiTree, and avoid the impulse to make up people or connections without some form of hard evidence. ===== Family Intermarriages in Virginia / Kentucky ===== There are a number of multiple intermarriages between the Weddington family (Virginia / Kentucky) and other families in the area. Some of these would be siblings marrying siblings, or any number of combinations of siblings, cousins, etc. Below are some notable family intermarriages. ====== Weddington / Presley / Hatfield Intermarriages ====== There is a theory that 3 families had intermarried in the early Virginia / Kentucky Weddington lineages: Weddington, Hatfield, and Presley. Namely that these 3 couples are possibly interrelated: * [[Weddington-29|Jacob Weddington]] & [[Presley-142|Jane (Presley) Weddington]], supposedly sister of James Allen Presley * [[Presley-137|James Allen Presley]] & [[Hatfield-253|Lydia Bridgett (Hatfield) Presley]], sister of Valentine Wallace Hatfield * [[Hatfield-317|Valentine Wallace Hatfield]] & [[Weddington-26|Martha (Weddington) Hatfield]], supposedly sister of Jacob Weddington While the symmetry is interesting, the theory is not yet proven. More research is needed: * We don't know yet if Martha Weddington and Jacob Weddington are siblings, although it is strongly suspected that they are. * We don't know yet know the parents of Jane (Presley) Weddington and if she is the sister of James Allen Presley. There is a conflict on their birth dates, showing them born in the same year, just a few months apart. The birth date on Jane Presley is fairly certain. * And we can always use more sourcing on the Hatfield families to verify the relationship between Valentine and Lydia. ====== Weddington / Meade Intermarriages ====== Early Weddingtons in Virginia / Kentucky intermarried with the Mead / Meade family: * Jacob's children: ** [[Weddington-87|John Tazewell Weddington]] & [[Meade-1421|Hannah (Meade) Weddington]], sister of Reuben Mead, first cousin to Katherine Meade and Mary Jane Meade ** [[Weddington-90|Martha Jane (Weddington) Mead]] & [[Mead-2522|Reuben Mead]], brother of Hannah Meade, first cousin to Katherine Meade and Mary Jane Meade * Henry's children: ** [[Weddington-203|James Weddington]] & [[Meade-955|Katherine (Meade) Weddington]], first cousin to Hannah Meade, Reuben Mead, Mary Jane Meade ** [[Weddington-326|William Weddington]] & [[Meade-983|Mary Jane (Meade) Weddington]], first cousin to Hannah Meade, Reuben Mead, Katherine Meade ====== Weddington / Duvall Intermarriages ====== Three children of [[Weddington-91|William W Weddington Sr.]] (son of [[Weddington-29|Jacob Weddington]] & his second wife, [[Davidson-6933|Parthenia]]) and his first wife, [[Horton-3948|Lettice (Horton) Weddington]], married 3 Duvall siblings: * [[Weddington-184|Dora Lee Weddington]] married [[Duvall-1287|Wiley Duvall]] * [[Weddington-183|John Harrison Weddington]] married [[Duvall-1273|Nancy Ellen Duvall]] * [[Weddington-186|Charles Milton Weddington]] married [[Duvall-965|Ollie Duvall]] When [[Horton-3948|Lettice (Horton) Weddington]] was dying, she arranged a match for her husband [[Weddington-91|William]]. After his wife passed away, [[Weddington-91|William W Weddington Sr.]] married [[Duvall-964|Sarah Duvall]], who was a sibling to the 3 Duvalls above. See the Memories section of William's profile for more information about this story. ===== Non-Marital Children ===== Non-Marital Children (NMC) are children born with a Weddington biological father, but their parents were not married or never married. The children likely had different surnames. In the past they were sometimes known as ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legitimacy_(family_law) illegitimate children]'', but the use of the term carried a social stigma. In modern times, this stigma has lessened considerably as it has become more common and much of the law has changed in this area. Non-Marital Children are the opposite of adoptions or those with a Misattributed Parentage Event (MPE), which are descendant lines that have the Weddington surname, but are not related by DNA. Non-Marital Children and their descendant lineages are related to the Weddington family by DNA, but do not have the Weddington surname. They usually have the surname of their mothers, either maiden name (Las Name At Birth - LNAB) or her married name. Below are known Weddington fathers with non-marital children and their mothers: * [[Weddington-257|Henry Weddington]] (aft. 1780 - abt. 1836) and [[Ratliff-2942|Rebecca (Ratliff) Ford]] (1801-?)]. The courts legitimized the Ford children and recognized that they were children of Henry Weddington. See his profile for more information.

== Weddington DNA == From the discussion (above) about Weddington genealogy, there are some fundamental questions that still need to be answered, that can probably only be answered by DNA testing: * Are the three white Weddington lineages in Virginia / Kentucky related to each other? '''The current hypothesis is: YES, they are related to each other'''. * Are the two major white Weddington families (in the U.S.), one originally from North Carolina, and the other originally from Virginia / Kentucky, related to each other? '''The current hypothesis is: NO, they are not related to each other'''. ** 2022-08-22: Donald Weddington, whose grandfather is [[Weddington-685|Whitney Bennett Weddington]], and descended from the North Carolina Weddington family, has confirmed that he has taken an AncestryDNA test and does NOT match [[Weddington-53|Eric Weddington]], who is descended from a Virginia / Kentucky line. If they were to match it would have been at 6C1R, but there is no match. This is not yet evidence that the two families are unrelated as 6C1R is still very remote that there could just not be an overlap. ** We still need a DNA test of a male Weddington descendant from the North Carolina family who can provide their Paternal Haplogroup, for comparison with the Virginia / Kentucky Weddington family. Knowing this will help to confirm the current theory. * There is a long-standing story that the North Carolina Weddington family was originally ''Waddington''. Is there any DNA evidence for a connection to Waddington? * What are lineages of black Weddington families? Are any of them related to each other? Where are their origins from? * What are the origins of adopted Weddingtons? * Are there any [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-paternity_event Misattributed Parentage Events (MPE)] in Weddington families? See the sections below for more details: === DNA for Virginia / Kentucky Lineages === There are three family lines originating in Virginia / Kentucky. The current hypothesis is that they are all related to each other. These are [[Weddington-29|Jacob Weddington]], [[Weddington-257|Henry Weddington]] and [[Weddington-26|Martha (Weddington) Hatfield]]. There is some documentation evidence (from a biography in ''[[Space:The_Big_Sandy_Valley|The Big Sandy Valley: A History of the People and Country from the Earliest Settlement to the Present Time]]'', by William Ely, 1887) that Jacob and Henry are brothers, however, there are glaring errors in this source making it not completely trustworthy. However, DNA tests of direct male descendants and comparison of their paternal haplogroups should be able to determine if they are related to each other. Below are DNA tests of direct descendants of these family lineages, and DNA tests of other individuals: * Known descendants of [[Weddington-29|Jacob Weddington]]: ** [[Weddington-53|Eric Weddington]]: paternal haplogroup of '''E-M183''' ** [[Weddington-1531|Kyle Weddington]], H5C1R to Eric (above): paternal haplogroup of '''E-M183''' ** 23andMe test of a male [https://you.23andme.com/profile/09e37b3783e4d266/ Weddington], 3C to Eric (above) shows a paternal haplogroup of '''E-M183'''. Descendant (grandson) of [[Weddington-341|Lanford Eugene Weddington]] and [[Perkins-8544|Lavadis (Perkins) Helton]]. Based on comparison with [https://you.23andme.com/profile/f4edf6060e485f7b/ another descendant] (non-Weddington) who is confirmed as a great-grandson of Lanford and Lavadis. * [[Weddington-257|Henry Weddington]] ** No known DNA tests of direct male descendants. The current theory is that Henry Weddington is the brother of Jacob Weddington (above) and we would expect descendants of both to have the same paternal haplogroup See more information about the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haplogroup_E-M215_(Y-DNA)#E-M183 E-M183 haplogroup], and the parent clade [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haplogroup_E-Z827#E-M81 E-M81]. See more about [https://discover.familytreedna.com/y-dna/E-M81/story E-M81 from FamilyTreeDNA]. DNA testing to determine if [[Weddington-26|Martha (Weddington) Hatfield]] is related to Jacob and / or Henry will be more challenging as Y-DNA tests won't be able to help us. * [[Weddington-26|Martha (Weddington) Hatfield]] ** No research has been done yet on DNA testing of descendants. ==== DNA Prevalence for Disease ==== [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polycystic_kidney_disease Polycystic kidney disease (PKD)] is a genetic disorder that runs in families. * [[Weddington-54|John Lawrence (Larry) Weddington Jr.]] (1943-2008) - Diagnosed with PKD and died from a heart attack that was caused by stress on his heart, due to dialysis. * [[Weddington-60|Joseph Lionel Weddington]] (1944-2014) - Diagnosed with PKD and died from it, or possibly from complications. Joseph is the brother of Larry, above. * [[Weddington-57|Kimberly Suzanne (Weddington) Rischard]] (1962-2015) - Diagnosed with PKD. Died, possibly from complications. Kim is the daughter of Larry, above. * [[Weddington-144|William Harrison Weddington]] (1841-1920) - Died of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bright%27s_disease Bright's Disease], which is an older name for a catch-all of kidney disease. Could this have been PKD? Has anyone else been diagnosed with kidney problems or disease, or died from kidney disease? === DNA for North Carolina Lineages === Donald Weddington, whose grandfather is [[Weddington-685|Whitney Bennett Weddington]], and descended from the North Carolina Weddington family, has confirmed that he has taken an AncestryDNA test and does NOT match [[Weddington-53|Eric Weddington]], who is descended from a Virginia / Kentucky line. If they were to match it would have been at 6C1R, but it's not unusual to not have an autosomal match at this distance. So this is not any confirmation that there is not a relationship between these two families. We need to have some YDNA test to compare. If there is a direct male descendant of a Weddington family originally from North Carolina who is interested in taking a DNA test to help out with this, please contact [[Weddington-53|Eric Weddington]] (coordinator of this One Name Study). === DNA for a Waddington Connection === * [[Waddington-517|Charlene Waddington]] is in the process of finding out her Waddington family paternal haplogroup, to see if there might be any relationship. The latest news is that this Waddington line is '''not a match''' to the Virginia / Kentucky Weddington line. === DNA for Black / African-American Lineages === At this time, no known DNA tests have been done on any of these families. If there is a direct male descendant of a Weddington family who is interested in taking a DNA test to help out with this, please contact [[Weddington-53|Eric Weddington]] (coordinator of this One Name Study). === DNA for Adoptions === At this time, no known DNA tests have been done on any adoptions in Weddington families. === DNA for Misattributed Parental Events (MPE) === For various reasons, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-paternity_event Misattributed Parental Events (MPE)] happen in families. See the Wikipedia article at the previous link for more information about MPEs. DNA testing is required to establish whether an MPE has occurred. Unfortunately, there is typically family stigma surrounding an MPE, which causes many people to be uncomfortable with doing genetic testing and seeing the results. == Family Heirlooms & Artifacts == * [[Space:Weddington_Family_Bible|Weddington Family Bible]] - Originally belonging to [[Weddington-68|James Henderson Weddington Sr.]], one of the Kentucky Weddington families, and handed down within that family. == Named Locations == Below are locations or places named after Weddington in some way: Locations in the United States: * [[wikipedia:Weddington,_North_Carolina|Weddington, North Carolina, United States]] ** Weddington is a town in Union County, North Carolina, United States.

This is not enough to be conclusive. *** Evidence: The will of [[Weddington-989|William Weddington]], the progenitor of the North Carolina family, has a will where he did not list a Jacob or Henry as heirs. Transcription is available. '''Need to find the original will and get a copy.''' * Virginia / Kentucky: Are the Weddington progenitors, [[Weddington-29|Jacob]], [[Weddington-257|Henry]], [[Weddington-26|Martha]] related to each other? (Preliminary: [[Weddington-29|Jacob]] and [[Weddington-257|Henry]] are likely siblings, but more evidence needs to be found. The theory is that [[Weddington-26|Martha]] is too, but not proven yet.) ** Research Plan: ** DNA evidence link Jacob line with Henry line. Need more test matches and probably triangulation to prove. See correspondence with K. S. on Ancestry. * Virginia / Kentucky: [[Weddington-257|Henry Weddington]] had 5 Non Marital Children (NMC) with [[Ratliff-2942|Rebecca (Ratliff) Ford]].

Most of my information comes from [[Pruitt-1406|Jerry Pruitt]], as indicated in the notes, and from the book by the Morrison sisters. I can't swear that it's accurate, but they were good researchers and contacted a lot of people to get first-hand family information. :''Information on their descendants from [[Pruitt-1406|Jerry Pruitt]], P.O.

[[Pruitt-1406|Jerry Pruitt]] lists three wives for him, but no marriage date for the third, and it's not clear exactly where the children divide among them. They seem to be living in Georgia in any case, and I initially didn't enter any children beyond the ones in the 1850 census (William, Martha, Sarah, and Mary Jane), who clearly belong to '''Clementine'''. [Census says William, Morrison 1996 p. 46 lists the oldest child as Hillman. ] Frances b. 1851 and Emily b. 1853 are probably also hers. Then there's an Emma, with no dates - same as Emily, or different? and then Georgia b. 1860, who is probably the child of the second wife, '''Rachel Lee''', but Jerry seems to be grouping her with the first family. See McLarty genealogy p. 833 for the census record, and Jerry Pruitt's notes for the rest of the family. Morrison 1996, based on Lore book, lists only two wives, '''Clemmie Hartfield''', mother of the first five children (Hillman, Martha, Jane, Frances and Emily; note no Sarah), and '''Puss Mattox Maxwell''', mother of six more (Etta, Cecile, Alexander, Josie, Minnie and Homer). On 27 Jul 1837 when Robert H. was 20, he married '''[[Hartsfield-193|Clemmie HARTSFIELD]]'''. Born in 1815. They had the following children: : i. '''Sarah Elizabeth'''. Born in 1842. : This child not listed in Morrison 1996. : : ii. '''Martha Ann'''. Born in 1845. : m. Berry Hightower : : iii. '''William M.''' (Hillman?). Born in 1847. : Morrison 1996 lists a child Hillman, rather than William. Since this comes from a census transcription in the McLarty genealogy, should probably check the original sometime. : : iv.

All the information below is taken in its entirety from [https://www.angelfire.com/wy/billprogram/ http://www.angelfire.com/wy/billprogram/] . Bill's lineage is a part of the North Carolina Weddington family. Note that all information below, along with corrections, is already in the various Weddington profiles in WikiTree. Corrections and notes are in parentheses and bold below. ---- I. BACKGROUND - THE EARLY YEARS A. The information contained herein concerning the Weddington Family History was taken, in part, from the [[Weddington-241|Andy Simmons Weddington]] Chronicals ''(sic)'' widely distributed throughout the country. '''(Note: This is the book, ''[[Space:The_Weddington_Family|The Weddington Family: A History]]'', compiled by [[Weddington-241|Andy Simmons Weddington]] that was discussed in the [[#History|History]] section above.)''' Each of us owe a debt of gratitude to "Cousin Andy" for his years of effort to develop much of the data known today. The Weddington name was originally spelled "Waddington". It is of ancient Scotch origin; however, many of the family moved from Ireland and Scotland into England to escape social pressures. The name came from the celtic word "Wadding", meaning to join, and "tone or ton" which is defined as a low hill or mountain; hence the name signifies the joining of mountains, or more simply, "A Valley." '''(Note: All of this is unsubstantiated. There is only some evidence for the North Carolina Weddington family to have originally been "Waddington". The etymology and history of the surname is not proven.)''' The motto of the family, as shown on its Coat of Arms, is "Semper Paratum" (Always Ready). '''(Note: Unsubstantiated. There is no evidence that any Weddington / Waddington family member was ever awarded a coat of arms in any country. This is all likely fabricated by earlier researchers.)''' From these sources, we learn that the Weddington family came to America from England. The exact year of their arrival we do not know, but it was presummed to be following the Revolutionary War. Upon arriving in the New York or Boston area, they soon made their way down to North Carolina and found their roots in the valleys and hills of Mecklenburg, Cabarrus, and Rowan counties. '''(Note: Unsubstantiated. We have no sources that the North Carolina Weddington family definitively came from England, the timing of arrival, or that they went to New York or Boston first.)''' So, here we find the setting for the Weddington families, which after arriving in America, spread out to Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Texas; soon to the rest of the country. The following sets forth the available data of this family, some of which still must be certified by official records. Requests for corrections should be addressed to Billprogram @ AOL.com. '''(Note: This repeats the myth that the North Carolina Weddington family is related to the Virginia / Kentucky Weddington family. Yes, the North Carolina Weddington family did spread to Tennessee and Texas, as well as other places not listed here.)''' II. THE GENERATIONS A.

Weddington]] that is in the Rowan county History Room in Salisbury, N.C. It has a vast source on the Weddington families. He mentions several times of Pike County, Virginia, and also Kentucky. It is a history of four brothers. They are William, John, Henry and Jacob. Their Father was Benjamin Weddington and as the manuscripts states they at one time settled in Shenandoah County, Virginia. If you think you may be related, please contact me. Benjamin came to the colonies from England, two of the sons were born in England and the other two were born here. I live in North Carolina and am a descendent of John Weddington. I also saw there is a Weddington reunion in Kentucky. I would love to come and see some of my counsins (sic).

Wallace was my friend and he visited me several times and he went to the NC Weddington reunion. Wallace told me a '''[[Weddington-27|California Weddington]]''' gave him the Benjamin story. You will notice '''in Wallace's history that the dates don't even come close to all other history'''. The exact connection of the two Kentucky Weddington, Henry and Jacob, to the Original William Waddington of Cabarrus County, NC, is still unknown to me. A copy of this [[Space:Weddington_History%2C_U.S.A.|manuscript]] by [[Weddington-822|Wallace M. Weddington]] is now in the possession of [[Weddington-53|Eric Weddington]]. A digital copy is in process and will be made available when ready (16 April 2023). '''The research done here on WikiTree also shows there is NO documented evidence of a story of "Benjamin Weddington and four sons" that include both the North Carolina Weddington family and the Kentucky / Virginia Weddington family. This must be treated as a myth unless proof can be found.'''

[[Category:Welch Name Study]] [[Category:One Name Studies]] == Introduction == This is a One Name Study to collect together in one place everything about the surname Welch and its variants. My hope is that other researchers will join this study to help make it a valuable reference point for people studying lines that cross or intersect. If you are interested in this project, please click [https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Space:Welch_Name_Study&action=joinnetwork here] to be added to the trusted list for this page, so that you will receive a notification any time anybody edits the page or posts comments here. You can also contact me directly, or ask questions in G2G (just make sure you tag your questions with "Welch"). Specifically, I am seeking to find out whether the Welch name came into use independently in multiple places, or whether it originated in one place and then spread as Welches moved around. (In other words, are all the Welch lines actually related, or are there a bunch of distinct families which happen to share the same name?) To that end, rather than adding [[Category:Welch Name Study]] to every single profile on WikiTree, what I'd like to try to do is categorise only the oldest known Welch in each family line. To do this, start with any Welch profile, and keep following the links to each father (or mother, in cases where the child took the mother's last name instead of the father's last name) until you either hit a dead end, or else find a father with a different last name. (Presumably, in that case, the "father" would actually be a stepfather, but there may be cases where somebody was born with one name and chose to adopt a different one, and in a case like that, you may just have proven that that Welch family line, at the very least, had an independent origin.) Once you reach the first person in a given Welch family line, add the {{One Name Study|name=Welch}} template to that person's profile, and that will add a new family line to the [[:Category:Welch_Name_Study|Welch Name Study]] category. Therefore, if you manage to move a line farther back in time (or, better yet, connect it to another Welch line which goes yet father back), please remove the {{One Name Study|name=Welch}} template from the previous oldest Welch in that line to the new oldest Welch. == Tasks == If you've put up all of the Welches in your family (or at least all the ones you've found so far), and are looking for something else to do, here are some tasks that you might be willing to help with: # '''Biographies:''' #* We need to make sure that each Welch on WikiTree has a narrative biography containing all the genealogically relevant facts about them (birth, marriage, and death at the very least).

As a One Name Study, this project is not limited to persons who are related biologically. Individual [[#Teams|team studies]] can be used to branch out the research into specific methods and areas of interest, such as geographically (The Netherlands | Westfall), by time period (18th Century Westfalls), or by topic (Westfall DNA, Westfall Occupations, Westfall Statistics). These studies may also include a number of family branches which have no immediate link with each other.

[[Category:Weston Name Study]] [[Category:One Name Studies]] [[Category:DNA Projects]] This is a One Name Study to collect together in one place everything about the Weston surname and the variants of that name. The hope is that other researchers like you will join our study to help make it a valuable reference point for people studying lines that cross or intersect. Please contact the project leader, add categories to your profiles, add your questions to the bulletin board, add details of your name research, etc. ==Surname Variants== This study covers the surnames Weston, Wesson and Western. == Weston families == Weston is a generic surname, which may just indicate that the founder of a particular Weston family lived to the west of a town (or other settlement). As such, the name springs up all over the place in England, and there can be no expectation that two different Weston families will have a common patrilineal ancestor if traced back far enough. The following are some of the major Weston families documented in WikiTree. It's always a pleasure to add a new one! ===Massachusetts Westons=== ====Duxbury==== Descended from *[[Weston-497|Edmund Weston]] born 1606.

A conveyance of 1290 mentions John le Calewe of North Weston in Stalbridge (Somerset Heritage Centre: DD\WHh/352) and the family were still at the manor in 1729 (Will of Mary Weston, Widow of Calew Weston, National Archives: PROB 11/632/275). === Essex Westons === ==== Earls of Portland ==== {{Image|file=Weston_Name_Study-1.png |align=r |size=s |caption=Richard Weston, 1st Earl of Portland}} :[[Weston-129|Richard Weston]], Lord Treasurer and future 1st earl of Portland, is shown by an official pedigree to be descended from the Staffordshire Westons by way of his grandfather [[Weston-137|Richard Weston]] son of [[Weston-41|John Weston]] of Weeford and [[Neville-1904|Cecilia Neville]]. This pedigree was certified in 1632 by William Segar the Garter King of Arms. However there is an ongoing controversy over the reliability of this pedigree. You can find a summary of this controversy and the arguments on both sides on the '''[[Space:Weston_1632_Pedigree_Controversy|Weston 1632 Pedigree Controversy]]''' page. The family were based at Skreens in Roxwell, Essex during the 16th and 17th centuries. Descended from *[[Weston-137|Richard Weston]] born circa 1530 === Kent Westons === ==== Biddenden ==== The family of [[Weston-7781|Richard Weston]] , schoolmaster at Biddenden. Perhaps another Wealden branch originating in Sussex. Descended from *[[Weston-7782|John Weston]] born circa 1720 ==== Greenwich ==== The family of [[Weston-9344|William Weston]] born in Greenwich in 1740. Descended from *[[Weston-9400|Richard Weston]] born circa 1710 === Lincolnshire Westons === Originating from Weston near Spalding in Lincolnshire, with descendants at Prested Hall in Essex.

Probably, but not necessarily, related: Y-DNA results for an asserted descendant of [[Weston-5079|Thomas Weston]] born c1655 in Burwash predict the largely Nordic I-M253 hablogroup, whilst those of an asserted descendant of [[Weston-2997|Thomas Weston]] born before 1413 in Mayfield predict the more generally Western European R-M269. Sources * [https://theweald.org/home.asp The Weald of Kent, Surrey and Sussex] website contains extensive historical information about sixteenth century Westons in east Sussex and the family's later appearance in west Kent. ====Burwash==== Descended from *[[Weston-3097|Richard Weston]] born circa 1538. *[[Weston-3115|Henry Weston]] born circa 1539. *[[Weston-3121|Stephen Weston]] born circa 1543. *[[Weston-3125|John Weston]] born circa 1550. *[[Weston-7285|William Weston]] born circa 1635. *[[Weston-5079|Thomas Weston]] born circa 1655. *[[Weston-3033|George Weston]] born circa 1705. ====Mayfield==== {{Image|file=Weston-2018.png |align=r |size=s |caption=Weston of Cranbrook (assumed)}} Descended from *[[Weston-2997|Thomas Weston]] born before 1413. *[[Weston-2403|Richard Weston]] born circa 1545. *[[Weston-2409|Nicholas Weston]] born circa 1564. *[[Weston-2411|Ralph Weston]] born circa 1565. *[[Weston-4566|John Weston]] born circa 1670. Jacobean descendants of the earliest Westons of Mayfield wove woollen cloth in [[Weston-1999 | Cranbrook]], Georgian ones farmed sheep in [[Weston-1996 | Tenterden]] and Victorian family members migrated to destinations including the [[Weston-1994 | West Midlands]] , [[Weston-2051 | Merseyside]], [[Weston-2040 | Bengal]] and [[Weston-2049 | Australia]].

The following genealogists have carried out extensive work and may be worth contacting when a question comes up in connection with their specialities. *[[Hess-2099|Kirk Hess]] has carried out extensive work on some of the aristocratic Weston lines and has vast WikiTree experience. *[[Weston-4750|JG Weston]] is working on a large number of profiles associated with the descendants of his ancestor [[Weston-4879|Henry Weston]] born about 1700 in Fletching, Sussex, England. He is in the process of transferring his results from Ancestry to WikiTree and then plans to move on to fleshing out the new profiles; the detailing on his own is already most impressive. *[[Weston-987|Chris Weston]] is also working on his Weston ancestors: recently in the West Midlands, but prior to that in Kent and Sussex. Chris and JG have similar Y-DNA results, though not quite close enough to normally qualify as a match over the period that surnames have been in use. Chris remains convinced that eventually they'll turn out to be from the same family. In the meantime, Chris also works on some of the more famous Weston family lines in England, trying to steer a correct course through the muddy waters of dubious aristocratic pedigrees and mouldering legal documents. *[[Weston-2603|Don Weston]], frustrated with progress on his own Weston ancestors in the Antipodes, has taken on the Herculean task of helping out generally with the enormous number of Westons in Australia and New Zealand. *[[Rorabacher-18|Jo Hollingsworth]] toiled through the arguments and counter-arguments revolving around the Henry Lilly, rouge croix of the College of Arms's fabulous pedigree created for Richard Weston first Earl of Portland in 1632, producing a helpful [[Space:Weston_1632_Pedigree_Controversy|Weston 1632 Pedigree Controversy]] page for anyone seeking clarification. == Resources == === Weston Resources === * [https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/WESTON List of Westons on Wikitree] * [https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/tag/WESTON G2G feed of questions tagged "Weston"]. * [https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Special%3AAdoptions&cln=&order=&s=WESTON Orphaned Weston profiles on WikiTree]. * [https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Category:Unsourced_Profiles&from=Weston-1 Unsourced Weston profiles on WikiTree]. * [https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Special%3AUnconnected&mId=10209961&order=dateup&viewAll=1&privacy=0&orphans=0&s=WESTON Unconnected Weston profiles on WikiTree]. === Wesson Resources === * [https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/WESSON List of Wessons on Wikitree] * [https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/tag/WESSON G2G feed of questions tagged "Wesson"]. * [https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Special%3AAdoptions&cln=&order=&s=WESSON Orphaned Wesson profiles on WikiTree]. * [https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Category:Unsourced_Profiles&from=Weston-1 Unsourced Wesson profiles on WikiTree]. * [https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Special%3AUnconnected&mId=10209961&order=dateup&viewAll=1&privacy=0&orphans=0&s=WESSON Unconnected Wesson profiles on WikiTree]. === Western Resources === * [https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/WESTERN List of Westerns on Wikitree] * [https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/tag/WESTERN G2G feed of questions tagged "Western"]. * [https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Special%3AAdoptions&cln=&order=&s=WESTERN Orphaned Western profiles on WikiTree]. * [https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Category:Unsourced_Profiles&from=Western-1 Unsourced Western profiles on WikiTree]. * [https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Special%3AUnconnected&mId=10209961&order=dateup&viewAll=1&privacy=0&orphans=0&s=WESTERN Unconnected Western profiles on WikiTree].
