Chapter Forty-Two
Helton Breeding Crismon Massey Families
The very early history of the Helton family is largely tradition, handed down by word
of mouth from father to son, but it makes a fairly connected narrative and likely is, in the
main, accurate. This tradition is that Isaac (Daddy Ike) Helton was the oldest son of
James Helton who married Campbell Crismon’s daughter; that he was born in Tennessee
or North Carolina, and that he was about seven years old when he came with his father to
Osage County in 1818. The family evidently came by themselves, and stayed a year or
two, possibly longer, but started back to Tennessee for a reason present day people can
hardly understand--they were out of salt. Furthermore, they had been out of it for almost
a year. James Helton had missed the salt canoes that bore the Boone’s Lick salt output to
market down the Missouri in the fall, and such as was carried out by packhorse went
down the north side of the river, remote from his home. It was almost a hundred miles,
overland, to The Lick, and after a winter and part of a summer without that commodity he
decided to go back where supplies were more plentiful. They had made part of the return
journey and had crossed the Mississippi River at St. Louis, camping for the night east of
Illinoistown (East St. Louis) in the fertile American Bottom, where the oxen had been
turned loose to graze and young Isaac had been set to watch them. Other campers were
around, and he thought nothing of it when one of the men spoke to him, asking him his
name and destination, which he told him, and answered several questions about his
father. The stranger asked him to point out his father, which he did, and James Helton
was soon shaking hands with his brother-in-law, Gilbert Crismon, who with his family
and parents were on this road to the new country. They talked by the campfire most of the
night. When both parties resumed their journey a few days later, after the cattle were
rested, they all came back to Osage County together, but were careful to lay in a plentiful
supply of salt in St. Louis in case they missed the canoes again. This must have been
about 1823. A Peter Helton appears in a few instances in the early Osage County records,
and as James Helton’s father was likely named Peter it may be that the Peter Helton listed
in the North Carolina census of 1790 came here with his son--or it may have been a son
of James.
James Helton and his wife seem to have had nine children who lived to maturity:
Isaac, William T. (Todd), Crismon, James, Peter, Polly (twin to Todd), Jane, Betsy, and
Louisa. Isaac grew to manhood in Osage County after the family’s return there, and at the
mature age of seventeen was married October 2, 1828, to Elizabeth Hughes, sister of
Stephen Hughes and of Ben Eads’ first wife. They made their home on the lower Maries
for a number of years before moving to this county to the Monroe Krone place, now
owned by Mrs. Joseph Huhman, where they lived awhile. They returned to Osage
County, living there until 1864 when they came back to Maries County and settled on the
Little Maries a mile or two above their former home, where they spent the remainder of
their lives.
The seven children born of this marriage were: Louisa J., Perry, James, Jesse,
Stephen, Nancy, and Isaac C. Louisa J. Helton married William Breeden and Nancy
Helton married Abraham Breeden. Their further account will be found under that name.
An eighth child born of this marriage, John, lived to attain his majority, and was married
to Amanda, daughter of James Tyree, but died less than a month after his marriage and
was followed to the grave by his wife less than three weeks after his death. Some other
children born of this marriage died in infancy.
Isaac Helton’s first wife died not long after they moved to this county the second
time, and a few years there after he was married to Mary Ann, daughter of David Cowan,
who survived him a number of years. Eight children living to maturity were born of the
second marriage: Rachel, David, Robert, Judith, Mary, Amanda, and Martin, neither of
the above sets of children is given in the order of their ages.
James Helton, the oldest son of Isaac, was born in Osage County in the early thirties.
He first married Jeannette, sister of John Taff near Stony Point. After her death, childless,
he we Amanda, daughter of John Belk. Four children were born of the second marriage,
of whom Isaac died single; Henry the oldest son married Eliza Moss, and both are long
since dead; their only child, Fred Helton, lives near Brinktown. John, the other son,
married a Johnson and at last account lived in Garden City, Kansas; Mary married John
Gardner and now or formerly lived at Iberia.
After the death of his second wife James Helton married her sister, Julia Ann Belk,
and shortly there after moved to Miller County a mile or two from Tuscumbia. Returning
to this county he bought part of the Copeland land, four miles northwest of Vienna, and
lived here a few years before returning to Miller County. He spent his last years and he
and his wife both died on or near the Elzey Prairie.
Of the eight children born of the last marriage Perry died while the family lived in
this county, single. The other seven, all of whom are living, are: James in Jefferson City;
Stephen who married a Belshe and lives near Tuscumbia; Richard, a veteran of the
Spanish War and Philippine Insurrection, married a James, and lives in Miller County;
Scott married a Wright in Miller County and now lives in Texas; Jennie married Bunyan
Copeland and lives in Jefferson City; Anna married a Ponder and lives in Texas; and
Edward, whose wife was a Newheart, lives near Iberia.
Stephen Helton, son of Isaac, married Sarah Corretta, daughter of Robert Rowden,
February 13, 1867, and for many years lived on and owned the farm on Little Tavern
later owned by G.P. Skaggs. Their six children were born here, and is believed that Mrs.
Helton died at the Skaggs place. The family moved to Garfield County, Oklahoma, about
1893, and the survivors are now scattered over Oklahoma and Texas. The six children
born to them were: Corretta J., born December 19, 1867, a graduate of the old Christian
College at Weaubleau City. She taught several terms of school in this county before
going to Oklahoma, where she taught and was otherwise active most of her life. She died
single at the home of her brother in Canadian, Texas, March 9, 1937. The three living
sons are: Judge W.L. Helton of Canadian, Texas; O.E. Helton of Woodward, Oklahoma.
Two other children, Valeria A. and Robert J. Helton, are believed to have died single.
Isaac C. Helton, son of Isaac, was born April2, 1837, in Osage County. He served in
the Union Army during the Civil War, and my not have married until the war ended. His
first wife was a Breeding (a daughter of Elijah) by whom he was the father of one child,
Harriett, later wife of Ben Dake; she died in Texas County some years ago, leaving two
children, whose names are not at hand. His second wife was a widow Smith, nee Cynthia
Lee, who by her first marriage was the mother of one son, Charles, now of Brays Mill.
They lived on the present Fred Berry place in Miller Township a number of years,
afterwards moving to the south end of Pulaski County, where Mrs. Helton died
something like forty years ago, her widower surviving until March 18, 1930. Of the six
children born to them and living to maturity, Jerry died single, the others are: Jack of
Pryer Creek, Oklahoma; Isaac of Vinita, Oklahoma; Stephen of Evening Shade, Texas
County; Isabelle, now Mrs. Adams and a widow, lives in southern Pulaski County.
Perry Helton, son of Isaac, married Martha J., daughter of Thomas Ready, February
4, 1872. They went to Texas not long after their marriage and lived there until Mrs.
Helton’s death. Perry then returned to this part of the state, re-married, and finally resided
at the Soldier’s Home in St. James until his death, his body being taken back to Texas for
burial. No children were born of the second marriage; the eight of the first and living to
maturity are: Chan, Clemens, Frank, Lillie, Ben, and ‘Baby’, all in Texas; Docia, wife of
George Jones, and Mary, wife of Isaac Cain, live in Pulaski County.
Jesse Helton, the last of Isaac Helton’s children by his first wife, married Matilda
Sherrill September 22, 1870, and was the father of nine children, all living. He has been
dead some ten years, and wife some five years. The children are: Moses, Oliver, Ben,
George, Jesse, William, Bertie, wife of George Vaughan, Louisa, widow of Archie D.
Woody and now wife of G.P. Barnhart; and Elmeda, wife of A.M. Briggs.
Isaac Helton was also the father of eight children by his second marriage: Rachel,
David, Robert, Charles, Judith, Mary, Amanda, and Martin. Of the eight three are yet
living: David in Cole County, Robert in Oklahoma, and Martin here. David, who married
Roberta, daughter of John Copeland, in 1880 and Martin, who married Nancy, daughter
of William (Black Head) Branson, February 26, 1885, are widowers. Robert’s widow
survives; she was Mina Stokes, and they were married here September 9, 1894. Amanda
married Asa Rowden, and her descendants will be found in the Rowden chapter.
Judith Helton married Bernard Fitzpatrick, and both she and her husband have been
dead for several years. Their home during their married life was at the Anderson place at
the mouth of long Branch. Their ten children, all living, are: Maggie, wife of Henry
Brandel; Nora, wife of Joseph Brandel; Dennis, Edward, Alice, Hannah, John Garret,
Michael, and Bernard, all of this county, and Bartholomew (Battie) of Meta.
Charles Helton, probably the youngest child of Isaac’s second marriage, was born
June 15, 1870, and died February 10, 1925. He was married February 10, 1891, to Leona,
daughter of William D. Finn, and they were the parents of one son, Charles Elmer
Helton. This son married Neca Barnhart and is also dead, leaving three children, Marie,
Clay, and Vergis Helton. Mrs. Charles Helton later married George Wilson.
Rachel Helton married Dr. George Curtman and both are long since dead. Their four
children were: Otto, Elmer, Fred, and Edward, of whom Edward lives at Ketchum,
Oklahoma, Fred in Miller County, and Elmer here. The other son, Otto, married Emma
Parker and is also dead, leaving six children; Wendell of Meta, Clarence of Heady,
Charlsie who marred a Burd, and Anna, single, all live in St. Louis.
Mary Helton, the remaining child of Isaac Helton, marred Monroe Krone, and her
descendants are listed under that name.
William T. (Todd) Helton, son of James Senior, was born in present Osage County
August 17, 1823, and died in Maries County August 9, 1881. His wife was Julia,
daughter of Nancy Washam and niece of Thomas Anderson, later wife of W.H. Vaughan.
She was born in Tennessee September 7, 1827, and died on the upper Little Maries in this
county August 13, 1910. They were married at the present Verhoff place below Stony
Pint, then owned by Hood Vaughan, her step-father, in 1842. Todd Helton and his wife
probably lived in Maries County their entire married lives, during most of which time
they lived on the Little Maries, near the present Cleveland Schoolhouse. They were the
parents of seven children: James Reuben, John, Richard, Polly (Mary), Nancy, Margaret,
and Bettie.
James R. (Rube) Helton was born in Maries County May 16, 1852, and died here
November 25, 1935. He was married September 22, 1870, to Martha J., daughter of
Stephen Crismon, who preceded him in death many years. Their seven children, all living
in Maries County and around Dixon, are: Elbert, Stephen, Julia, Frances, Waldo, Allan,
and Charles Helton. ‘Rube’ Helton was widely known for his wit and humor, and
probably had a wider acquaintance than any other one member of the family.
We do not have the birth and death dates of John Helton, son of Todd, nor the date of
his first marriage. His first wife was Lottie Pryor, and they were the parents of five
children: Small, Todd, Effie, now widow of J.M. Murphy, Oliver, and Lottie, now Mrs.
Charles Davis. All are living except Oliver, who was born June 2, 1883, and died single
July 19, 1932, John Helton’s second wife was Kate Wittkop, a widow, to whom he was
married June 2, 1886. Their one child, John, died in infancy. His third marriage on April
9, 1894, was to Rachel Thompson, nee Hughes, to which union four children were born:
Hazel, wife of Oliver Shelton of St. Louis; Jacob of Granite City; and Julia Ann, now
Mrs. Philby of Joplin. Both John and his last wife are long since dead.
Richard Helton, the third son of Todd, was born January 27, 1860, and died January
18, 1925. His wife was Jane, daughter of Thomas Wiles. She was born December 9,
1860, and died January 23, 1935. Their four living children are: Monroe, Robert, Ollie,
wife of Ray Jones, and Anna, wife of Pete Jones. Maud, the fifth child born to them, died
in infancy.
Mary (Polly) Helton, daughter of Todd, married William (Red Head) Branson, and
her descendants are given under that name.
Elizabeth (Bettie) Helton, daughter of Todd, married James Wiles June 3, 1877. She
has been dead many years, her widower dying within the last five years. Their three
children, all living, are: Lee, wife of J.E. Jones, and William C. Wiles, both of this
county, and Anna, wife of A.J. (Jack) Henson of Owensville.
Margaret J. (Aunt Babe) Helton, daughter of Todd, married Moses (Doc) Prewett.
They lived all their lives in Pulaski County with the exception of the few years they
owned and lived on a farm on the Upper Little Maries in this county. Both died in Pulaski
County at an advanced age. Of the nine children born of this marriage two, M.G. (boy)
and Charles are dead; both were married and left children, but their names have not been
obtained. The seven living are: Nora, wife of Henry Shackleford, Minnie, wife of Andy
Newberry, Iva, wife of George Newberry, Richard, Kay, and Polk, all in Pulaski County.
Bugg Prewett is now, or lately was, on the West Coast.
Nancy, the remaining daughter of Todd Helton, married Stephen Hughes and both
she and her husband are long since dead. She was the mother of four daughters, Tennie,
Amanda, Mary, and Margaret, but little is known of their descendants. Amanda married
James Harp and about five years ago lived at Maplewood; Margaret married Andy
Combs and left six children, Guy, Lucy, Edith, Joseph, Ralph, and Jack; Tennie married
James Huckins but the names of her descendents are not at hand; Mary married and left a
family, but her married name is not known. The last three daughters have been dead for
some years and their descendants are scattered, but at least some of them, particularly the
Combs children, are thought to be in Oklahoma.
Crismon Helton, son of James Helton Senior, married Louisa Jane, daughter of
Stephen Pryor. He was probably the youngest one of the James Helton children. They
spent most of their married life in this county on a farm near the Little Maries now owned
by George Vineyard, which he sold in his old days. It is not certain whether he and his
wife died in this or Miller County. Of the eight children born to them three are yet living:
Elbin in Miller County; Chan on Spring Creek in this county; and Gib for many years a
resident of this county, but now living near New Haven in Franklin County. The five who
have passed away are: Louisa, Mahala, Mary, Isaac, and William Helton.
Louisa married John Pryor; their one child, Nora, now wife of Edward Jones, lives at
Bakersfield, Missouri, Mahala married James Pryor; she died leaving a family, but their
names and present addresses have not been received; it may be that they live in the
Bakersfield community also. Mary married Elijah Martin, and her children are noted
under that name. William Helton married Loora, daughter of Wilson Crawford, and has
been dead a number of years. He is survived by his widow, who lives at Dixon, and three
children: Earl of Madison, and Mrs. William Medley of Christopher, both in Illinois; and
Mary J. wife of T.F. Donahue of Brookfield, Missouri. A fourth child, William H.
Helton, a World War I Veteran, was accidentally killed in Granite city May 27, 1931; he
was married but had no children. Isaac, the remaining child of Crismon Helton, lived in
Miller County nearly all his married life, and died there in the summer of 1937. His first
wife was Mary Pankey, by whom he was the father of three children: Arch and Fred in
Miller County, and Charles in St. Louis. His second wife was Mrs. Jeannette Jones, of
this county, who survives.
Regretfully, very few details of the married life of Elizabeth, daughter of James
Helton Senior, are at hand. She was married to David Miller in present Osage (then
Gasconade) County February 11, 1827, by William Bumpass, Justice of the Peace, which
would indicate that they likely lived on the lower Gasconade River. David Miller was a
Pennsylvania German, evidently not more than one generation away from Europe, as he
spoke with a decided German accent. When a little excited--which was fairly often--he
was hard to understand at all.
Not more than ten years after their marriage they were living on the upper Big
Maries in this county on land now owned by Dr. A.J. Crider of Dixon, which they owned
and occupied for many years. In fact, Mrs. Miller may have been the first member of the
Helton family to live in that part of the country. The place was soon well known and
seems to have been a crossroads for the travel of that day, since at least three early day
state roads are described as ‘passing by David Miller’s’ to different places. Most of their
children were born there, and it was not until their advancing years made it a burden that
they disposed of the land and made their home among their children in their declining
years. Mrs. Miller did not long survive the move from the old home; her widower lived a
number of years longer, passing away in his sleep at the home of his daughter Malinda,
then wife of Davis Copeland. The best available information is that ten children were
born to them, but with the exception of one or two their descendants are only known in
part.
Their five sons were: Samuel, Isaac, David, George, and William Miller, and with
the possible exception of William all of them were in the Confederate Army; George died
single from the effects of measles contracted in an army camp. David married in north
Missouri, was captured in battle and died in Alton Prison; the family has no knowledge of
any descendants he may have left. Samuel, Isaac, and William (the last then single) went
to Texas soon after the Civil War where they spent the remainder of their lives and where
any descendants now live. Samuel married Sohpia, daughter of William R. Spoon; Isaac
was also married when they left here, but his wife’s maiden name is not known.
The five daughters of David and Elizabeth Miller are: Polly, Julia, Rebecca, Malinda,
and Lucinda. Of these, no further record of Julia has been found, and it may be that she
died single; Rebecca married ‘Little Jim’ Helton, and her descendants will be found
elsewhere in this chapter. Polly married Willis Robertson, who also served in the
Confederate Army. They also moved away right after the war, and may have gone to
Texas with her brothers. Malinda first married a man named Wilson and was the mother
of two daughters, Lucinda and Sarah Ann, both of whom died single. Her second
husband was Davis Copeland and their son, Samuel, moved away with them. His
offspring are cited in the Copeland chapter. Lucinda Miller, the remaining daughter,
married James ‘White River’ Breeding.
So many records of the Breeding family have been destroyed by fire and other wise
that very few details remain. The records show that John Breeding entered land in the
northwestern part of present Franklin County, close to but not on the Missouri River, in
1818. Not many years afterwards Elijah Breeding, relationship to John unknown,
appeared in present Osage County, and thereafter made it his home. He owned land in
this county along the Maries--Osage County line, but never lived here.
Tradition has it that Elijah Breeding was married three times and was the father of
seven children, of whom James and Elizabeth, who married a Richardson, were the
children of the first marriage. The maiden names of his first two wives are unknown;
third wife was Patsy Roark, who survived his death in 1874 for many years. The children
were Calvin and Lucinda, who married John Martin. The children of the second wife
were: William, Martha, who married Elijah Groves, and Harriet, married name unknown,
whose daughter married a Helton.
Calvin Breeding’s offspring are listed in the Barnett section of the chapter on Early
Physicians, and that of Lucinda in the Martin and Cowan chapter. William Breeding died
more than sixty years ago, leaving six children: America, Margaret, Louisa, Isaac, Calvin,
and James, but nothing is now known here of their residence, marital status, or issue.
Katherine Breeding, who married Elijah Groves, moved to Miller County more than
seventy-five years ago, where they spent the remainder of their lives and both died in the
Iberia vicinity. Their three living children are: William R. of Woodward, Oklahoma;
Isaac of Hancock; and Mrs. W.M. Scoter of Iberia; a fourth child, James H., born in
Osage County November 30, 1854, died single in Miller County October 4, 1936.
As stated above no dates have been preserved as to the James Breeding family. He
was born not less than one hundred twenty-five years ago, probably in this state, but if
not here, then in Tennessee. His first wife was Lucinda, daughter of David Miller, and
they spent their entire married lives in this county. His second wife was a widow Null,
nee Scott, and after this marriage they lived awhile in Shannon County and other sections
of south Missouri, finally returning to this county where both died.
James Breeeding was the father of eleven children living to maturity by his first
marriage, and three by the last. The first children, not in their age order, were: Mary Ann,
Julia Ann, Malinda Ann, Elizabeth, Lucy Ann, Josephine, Frank, David, Calvin, Elijah,
and Christine. Of these Malinda, widow of Martin Copeland, lives at Eldon, and Lucy,
wife of Lewis Lambeth, in Laclede County; the others have passed away.
Elizabeth and Mary Ann Breeding were the first and second wives of Frank Benton,
the marriage of the latter occurring November 23, 1872. Frona, the only child born to
Elizabeth, died single, as did Alice, one of the six children born to Mary Ann. Gertrude,
who married a Renswald, is also dead leaving two children, Bernice and Dorothy, both of
Jefferson City, both single. Margaret Benton, the oldest child of the second marriage, has
been out of touch with relatives for many years, and may also be dead. Her married name
was Stringer, and at last account she lived in Denver and was the mother of two children,
a son and daughter. The three living children are Isom at Jefferson City, Mrs. Rosella
Schotte at Pekin, Illinois, and Mrs. Emma Surface in St. Louis, Frank Benton, the father,
died a number of years ago.
Julia Ann Breeding was the second wife of Samuel Groves. This couple spent their
entire married lives in this county, mostly in the southwestern part, and both died there,
as did three of the eight children born to them. The living children are: Bertie, wife of
William Dodds of Dixon; James O., Claude, and Sallie, wife of Thomas Kimrey, all of
Texas County; and Cora, wife of W.T. Rollins of this county. David and Jeff Groves are
dead; the former left no children, the latter left three boys and two girls, all in Texas
County. Laura Groves, the remaining child, has been dead several years. She married
Lytle Roberson, under which name her family is described.
Josephine Breeding married John Crum, which see.
Frank Breeding married Anna, daughter of Harris Wakefield and has been dead a
number of years, his wife surviving until about three years ago. Their four children are:
Elmer, Mabel, wife of Harry Stratman, and Lena, single, all of Jefferson City, and Opal,
also single, of St. Louis. The Frank Breeding place was just over the line in Osage
County.
David Breeding spent most of his adult life along the Little Tavern, where he married
and died. His wife was Margaret Dodds, now wife of Ray Brumble, and he is also
survived by their one child, now the wife of Arthur Wilson.
Calvin Breeding, who was born in 1858, died in April, 1932, aged sixty-four years,
having been preceded in death May 30, 1918, by his wife, the former Sally Johnson. One
son, Raymond, died in infancy; the other eight, all yet living, are: Esther, wife of Henry
Radmacher, Stella, wife of Louis Radmacher, and Philbert Breeding, all in California;
Reginald, Hattie, wife of Joe DeWall, and Margie, wife of Joe McKinney, in St. Louis;
Frank at Belle; Newton in East St. Louis; and Pansy, wife of Fred Wicks, in Chicago.
Christine Breeding married Rudolph Bruder, and both he and his wife are dead after
spending their entire married lives just over in Osage county from Maries. The three
children born to them who lived to maturity are: Mamie, wife of Mack Owens, and Polly,
wife of Gordon Davis, of East St. Louis, and Frances, wife of Sam Jones of Granite City;
another daughter, Orleana, died an infant.
Elijah Breeding, the remaining child of the first marriage, died a number of years ago
near Summersville, where he had lived most o his married life. His wife was Eliza Elkins,
who survives in Texas County. They had five children: Martin of Summersville, and
James, Calvin, Wright, and Della, now Mrs. Stringer, all of San Dinas, California.
James Breeding’s second wife was a widow Null (widow of Felix) whom he also
survived. The three children born of the second marriage, all yet living so far as known,
are George in St. Louis, Charles in New York, and Sallie, wife of Louis Martin, in this
county.
We have little data as to James Helton, son of James Senior. He reached manhood,
married, and was a widower, at the time of the California gold rush, in which he joined
and in which he was successful above the average, returning home with something like
two thousand dollars in gold dust and nuggets. He spent the remainder of his life in
Maries and Osage counties.
His first wife was Bursetta, daughter of Cat Vaughan, to whom he was married
October 10, 1833, and by whom he was the father of one child, Lydia, later wife of W.S.
Eads (which see). His second wife was a Breeden, first name not now recalled, but a
sister of John and Abe, by whom he was the father of seven children, Priscilla, William,
Peter, James, Martha, Judith, and Susan. Their age order is not known, but Susan is
believed to have the oldest. She was born in 1834, married David C. Smith, and died
September 12, 1869; there is no record of any children having been born to them.
William Helton, son of James Junior, married Diana Ramsey, daughter of Robert.
She was born April 12, 1853, and died January 19, 1889. The two children born of this
marriage, Robert and James, are still living, the former in this county and the latter in
Kennett, Missouri. William Helton evidently died early in life, for after his death his
widow married ‘Snurl’ Simpson, by whom she was the mother of one daughter, Etta, who
married about Joplin, and so far as is known still lives there.
Peter Helton died in the Confederate Army in Little Rock during the Civil War,
single; James married David Miller’s daughter; Martha married Wash Gibson; and Judith
married, first, George Scott, and second Rufus Adams; their descendants are elsewhere
noted.
Priscilla Helton, who was born in 1857 and died in 1932, married Henry Belk, who
was born in 1844 and died in 1928. They spent almost their entire married life in Miller
County, where four of their children, Mary, wife of W.T. Hensley, Josie, Peter, and
Edward, all single, yet live. Miller Belk lives in Maplewood, Dessie, wife of Elmer
Prater, in St. Louis, James in Pulaski County, and Richard in St. Clair County. Charles
and Bertie are dead, the former dying single; the latter, wife of William Kellison, is
survived by five children, Edith, wife of David Belk, and William Junior of St. Louis,
Fernand of DeSoto, Josie, wife of William Geromini of Chariton County, and Lillie, wife
of Lester Armer of Vienna.
Polly Helton, twin to Todd, married John Hughes, and her sister, Jane, married
Stephen Hughes; such facts as have been gathered concerning their issue will be found in
the Hughes chapter.
We have nothing in the way of details as the life of Peter Helton, except that he
married Emeline Anderson in Osage County September 30, 1834. All his present day
descendants live in the west and southwest, mostly in Texas, and it may be that Peter
Helton and his family went there with the Millers.
Louisa Helton married William Anderson, half brother to Thomas, and was the
mother of two children, James and ‘Bunch’. The latter married here and her account will
be found elsewhere. James married a Hedrick and was the father of two children, Julia
(married name not at hand) a teacher in the Muskogee, Oklahoma, schools, and William
Anderson, who died single.
The foregoing completes the list of nine children certainly known to have been born
to James Helton. One other woman of that name, Judah, was married in Osage County
July 9, 1837, to Daniel Boone, but absolutely nothing more is known about her. She was
more than likely a sister of the nine listed above, and if she did not die in early life
probably went with the other Boones to western Missouri a great many years ago. Many
years after our branch of the Helton family came to Missouri still another branch, leader
unknown, broke away from the parent hive in the North Carolina mountains and came
west, settling on the Tennessee River near the Kentucky line and not far from the later
Shiloh Battlefield. Descendants of this branch settled in Arkansas and southwest
Missouri, around Neosho. They are distantly related to our family, but in an unknown
manner.
One hundred fifty years ago George Crisman was the only man of that name listed in
the North Carolina Census; there were several Christmans but no Crismon. George
Crisman lived in what was then Orange County, which is in the north central part of the
state, an elevated section from which the waters drain north, south, and east. Peter
Helton, who is also the lone representative of that name, lived in the same county.
Thirty years or so afterward both families appeared in Missouri, and from the fact
that there was only one family of each name in North Carolina, it is a reasonably safe
guess that George Crisman was the father of Campbell Crismon, and that Peter Helton
was the father of James Helton, who were the ancestors of our families, James Helton as
well as Isaac, Stephen, and Campbell Crismon (then spelled Christman) appear on the
Gasconade County tax list of 1828. It is not known how much before that time they came
to this state, and the spelling of the name may have been the Assessor’s notion of it,
instead of the way they spelled it themselves. James Helton’s wife was a daughter of
Campbell Crismon.
Campbell Crismon’s wife was a half-blood Cherokee, her father living with the tribe
after his marriage to her mother, and taking part in tribal life. It is a tradition in the family
that when Campbell Crismon’s wife was a young girl she witnessed the torture of a
young Creek Indian captured by her people in one of their tribal wars. Though burned to
death at the stake, the victim, true to Indian ethics, did his best to conceal his suffering,
and succeeded in so far as his features were concerned, but in spite of his best efforts his
hands twisted as the fire licked into his flesh. The incident made a deep impression on the
young girl, and is said to be the forerunner of the twisted hands of some members of the
family in every generation since. Her name is not known, but it has been given to the
writer as--in sound--very closely resembling ‘Wannah’. Both she and her husband are
buried at the Henry Volmert place on the Big Maries some two miles from Vienna,
having come there in their old days to live with their son, Gilbert.
(It is nothing more than fair to say that in the course of a casual conversation with a
physician I mentioned the legend of the twisted hands and how they came about. In reply
to his questions told him as much as I had heard about it. He said it was a scientific
impossibility for such a cause to have such an effect. I later repeated the story to other
members of the medical profession, and received the same reply. I also made inquiry of a
number of ladies who have helped usher many babies into the world, possibly as many as
the doctors, and they were equally unanimous that such a thing could--and frequently did-occur. Take you choice.)
Campbell Crismon may have had other children besides his son Gilbert and the wife
of James Helton, but if he did, their names have not been ascertained, and none except
these two had any connection with Maries county affairs. Gilbert Crismon was married
long before he ever came to this state, and the maiden name of his wife is not know. He
settled on the Big Maries on the place now owned by Herman Volmert about 1831, and
spent the rest of his life there, dying sometime in the late forties. Both his parents died
there also and are buried on the place, also.
Gilbert Crismon was the father of thirteen children living to maturity: John, Isaac,
Arch, Pleasant, Moses, Stephen, James, Betsey, Sallie, Sarah, William Senior, Mahala,
and Polly. Of these, Arch, Pleasant, Moses, Stephen, and Polly, who first married George
Capehart and later a man named Joyce, moved to Oregon about 1852. The whole wagon
train was poisoned with alkali water at or near present Scott’s Bluff, Nebraska, and
Moses and Stephen died from the effects of it and were buried on the trail, along with the
wife of Isaac and other members of the party. Arch, Pleasant, and Polly survived the
misfortune and finished the journey. They made their homes in the west for the remainder
of their lives and have descendants there now, but we have no details concerning them. It
is not known whether or not Moses or Stephen were married. Sarah married Reuben
Branson, and the part of her descendents affecting Maries County will be found under
that name.
Campbell Crismon must have been an old man and his son, Gilbert, at least
approaching middle age when they came to this country, for Gilbert’s son John, possibly
his oldest child, was married in present Osage County December 5, 1833, to Flavilla
Melcena, daughter of Reverend Joseph Brashears, by William Brown, Justice of the
Peace. They lived and died in present Maries County, near the mouth of Fly Creek, where
their nine children were born. Of these nine, Amanda married William Hood Vaughan,
and Mary married Hood Vaughan’s son, John; their descendants will be found under that
name. The others were: Gilbert Junior, Hugh, Joseph, Mark, William W. Junior, Myra,
and Nancy Crismon.
Gilbert Crismon Junior married Nancy Jones and moved to California; no record of
his family has been found.
Hugh Crismon married Ann, daughter of John Hardin Rowden. Their five children
were: John Lewis, who died in Denver, Colorado; James, who married Cora Daniels and
died in southern California; Addie, Mrs. Andrews of Los Angeles; Dedrick of Ceres,
California; and Mellie, whose married name is unknown.
Joseph Crismon, the best known of this family, was born April 24, 1843, and died
October 15, 1936. He served the duration of the Civil War in Company M, Third
Missouri Volunteer Cavalry, and on November 30, 1866, married Caroline, daughter of
Andrew Lawson. They spent most of their married lives in Maries and Miller Counties,
moving to Meta late in life, where both died. Their four living children are: Sadie, wife of
George Wilson, Keystone, Oklahoma; Millie and Nan, both single, of Meta, and Fred P.
whose wife is Sarah, daughter of Taylor Shelton in Cole County.
Mark Crismon married Nancy, daughter of Major Samuel Woods, and has been dead
for some years, his widow surviving until November 1937. Of the two children born to
them Stanley married Ora Dake and died in Miller County some years ago; and Clergy
who married Daisy, daughter of George Wilson, lives on the Little Maries in this County.
William W. Crismon Junior was the father of one son, Jasper, by his first wife. This
son was last heard of in Jasper County many years ago, and relatives here are no longer in
touch with him. William W.’s second wife was Nancy Basham, and six additional
children were born of this marriage: Alonzo, who was married, was killed in the railroad
yards at Denison, Texas; Basheba, Geneva, and Belle all are married and live in St.
Louis, but their married names are not known; Frank died single; John went west and
relatives have lost track of him.
Myra Crismon married George Wiles and died leaving two children, John and Lou.
John lives in Cole County. Lou married to Stephen Crismon December 9, 1894 and died
leaving one son, Fred, now living in this county. Stephen Crismon was born October 4,
1864, and died August 9, 1897.
Nancy Crismon, the remaining child of John Crismon, was twice married, first to
Archelaus A. Whitaker and second to James Arendall. Her ten children were all born of
the first marriage. Of these ten, two are dead; Joseph died single, and Mildred, wife of
William Leasman, died leaving three children: Frank and Robert, of Vienna, and Ray of
Monroe City. The eight living are: Josie, wife of Dave Woody of Iberia; Monroe of St.
Louis; Benton of Iberia; Anna, single, of Chicago; Emma, wife of Gordon Lawson, of
Miller County; Forest, single, of Iberia; Hardin of Rolla; and Walter of Dixon.
Isaac (Oregon Ike), also known as ‘Blind Ike’ Crismon, son of Gilbert, married a
Miller. He went to Oregon with the Crismon wagon train, and his wife died in Nebraska
from drinking alkali water. This happened somewhere near Scott’s Bluff, on the Platte
River. Her body, together with those of several others who died at the same time, was
buried in a wagon box ahead of the train and the wheels passed over the grave several
times to destroy all trace of it, after which they resumed their journey to Oregon. Their
two children, Mary and Zilphia, survived the trip and later married in Oregon and raised
families there, but no particulars of their families are known.
Isaac Crismon later returned to Missouri, and was married to Louisiana K., widow of
Richard Woods, nee Murphy, and was the father of two more daughters, Martha and
another Mary. Martha, single, survives and lives near Dixon; Mary married Richard W.
Vaughan, and her descendants will be found listed under that name. Isaac Crismon went
entirely blind in his old days, dying January 25, 1875. His widow was later the third wife
of Hood Vaughan, and survived him.
James Crismon, among the youngest of Gilbert Crismon’s children, was born in
Osage County August 10, 1825, and moved with his father to present Maries County
when about six years old. He spent the balance of his life here, where he died December
16, 1895. Most of his adult life was spent on the twelve hundred acre farm on the Big
Maries near Brinktown, still called the Jim Crismon place but now divided into seven or
eight farms. His wife was Frances, daughter of Benjamin Eads, who was born May 28,
1825, also in Osage County. She died here April 2, 1894. His second marriage, which
was to a widow Shelton, occurred only shortly before his death. The eleven children, all
born of the first marriage and all long since dead, were: Jesse H., James Munro,
Benjamin F., Gilbert O., Robert E., Louisa J., Nancy, Margaret, Malinda, Matilda, and
Mary.
Jesse H. Crismon, the oldest child, was born December 23, 1843, and died February
9, 1917. Almost all his adult life was spent in and near Vienna, the latter part of it as a
merchant. Prior to this time he had been in the mercantile business at Dixon and had
served as County Judge in this county. His wife was Margaret L., daughter of John Elsey,
who was born June 4, 1844, and died May 26, 1917. Their three children yet living are:
Ernest E., of Allentown; Launa, widow of James Franklin, of Marshall; and Orleane, wife
of T.S. McGee of Vienna. The two children who have passed away were Dora A.
Crismon Hutchison and Mary A. Crismon Snodgrass.
Dora A., born December 8, 1864, married M.L. Hutchison and survived her husband
some years, passing away on July 13, 1923. Their two children are E.C. Hutchison,
present Collector of this county, and Leslie B. Junior of Poland, Ohio. Mary A. Crismon,
the remaining child, of this marriage, was born February 4, 1867, married G. W.
Snodgrass October 3, 1884, and died January 21, 1920. She was the mother of three
children, of whom two, Jesse L., a merchant, and Winton, present Probate Judge, live in
Vienna. The daughter, Elsie, born July 8, 1885, died in May, 1937, in Oklahoma; Mary
Louise, the only child of her marriage to Joseph Thomas, lives in Vienna.
James Munro Crismon, born August 20, 1855, was married October 2, 1873, to
Bathsheba P. Elkins. They owned and lived on the place now owned by Casper Kaiser
until his death October 17, 1878, his wife having died two days before. They were
childless.
Benjamin F. Crismon, born July 29, 1860, was married August 13, 1879, to Amanda,
daughter of John Taff. They lived most of their married life on the farm now owned by
Mrs. George Butcher, where he died in December, 1916, his widow surviving until July
31, 1917. The one child of this marriage, Clorah, married Charles N. Cooper and has
been dead a number of years, survived by her widower, a son who died single after his
mother, and a daughter, Clorah Pearl, wife of Ewell Dake, now living at Belle.
Gilbert O. Crismon was born October 10, 1862. He married Launa Juergens and
lived for many years along the upper Big Maries. He afterwards moved to Dixon where
he died January 26, 1938, and where his widow yet lives. The eight children born of this
marriage, all yet living so far as known, are: Pauline, wife of Jesse Creech and Lottie,
wife of Sam Logan, of Springfield; Launa, wife of Henry Bauer of Rolla; Malinda, who
married a Walls in St. Louis; and Millie, James, Leonard, and Gilbert, whose addresses
are not at hand. They live in Granite City.
Robert E. Crismon was married three times. His first wife was Josie, daughter of
William Shelton, by whom he was the father of one son, Robert, now in Texas. His
second marriage to Josie, daughter of James Meltabarger, was childless. His third was to
Clorah, daughter of M.S. Graham. The three living children of the last marriage are:
James Gordon Crismon of Vista, California; Gertie whose married name is Strickland,
and who lives some place in Texas; and Edna of Granite City whose married name is not
known to relatives here. In addition, two children, Monroe and Minnie, are dead. The
former left no children. Minnie married a Prewett and left children who live in Pulaski
County.
Louisa J. Crismon, who was born January 10, 1845, died single April 23, 1863.
Nancy J. Crismon, born November 22, 1857, married W.C. Cole and died August 18,
1878, survived by one daughter, Ida, now the widow of Jerry Hancock. She lives in
Pulaski County.
Mary Crismon’s birth and death dates have not been received. She was married
March 15, 1879, to Joseph Richmond who died early in their married life, she surviving
him by many years. They were the parents of three children, Isaac and James of Pulaski
County, and Emma, wife of Dorsey Means of this county.
Margaret Crismon was first married to Duncan M. Lowder of December 7, 1869, and
the one child born of this marriage, Josie, later married Milford Duncan. Her second
husband was William G. Branson, under which name her descendants are listed.
Margaret ( this should be Malinda, just a typo on Mr. Kings part, I think) Crismon
married James K.P. Ramsey, and Matilda Crismon was the second wife of James
Meltabarger; their issue is given under their married names.
Sallie (Cumile) Crismon, daughter of Gilbert, married Flem Thompson, and very
little record of their family has been preserved. They lived in the St. Elizabeth
neighborhood in Miller County, and she seems to have survived her husband many years,
as all the old residents recall her as a widow. The three children born of their marriage
were: James, Young, and Martha Thompson, the latter marrying Shelby Martin. Both the
boys went to Texas, married, and died there, and no connection with them remains. The
girl and her husband may have gone there also, as there is no record of any of their
descendants here. (This Flem Thompson was the uncle of Flem J. Thompson who was
known to many of the older residents of Boone Township, and who afterwards moved to
south Missouri).
Gilbert Crismon, son of William W. Senior, was born January 14, 1840, and died
March 31, 1917. He married Myra, daughter of Benjamin Eads. who was born February
11, 1925. The family moved to the upper Roubidoux many years ago and made that
section their home thereafter, as do three of their eight children, Ben and Jeff at Plato,
and Dow at Cookville. The other five, all yet living so far as known, Augusta, wife of
Charles Roberds of this county; Elise, wife of Joseph Williams of near Devil’s Elbow in
Pulaski County; Mary, wife of Henry Patrick, near Webb City; and Monroe of Tacoma,
Washington.
William W., son of William W. Crismon Senior, married Eliza, daughter of James
and Lydia Marrow, nee Powers. They lived in this county a number of years, and still
later near Dixon in Pulaski County. After some years residence there they moved to
northeastern Arkansas where both parents died, the wife not many years ago. Their
children included Austin, Wayne, Rufus, William, Edward, ‘Doc’, Louisa, and May, and
possibly others. All moved to Arkansas with their parents and are thought to still live in
that state not far from Current River.
William W. Crismon Senior, son of Gilbert, died in this county at an advanced age
on December 18, 1876, so he must have been born around 1800, or even earlier. He was
married in present Osage County January 8, 1824, to Margaret Whrattles, by Joseph M.
Morrow, Justice of the Peace in what was then Gasconade County. His wife was onefourth Indian, so the Indian strain is slightly greater in his descendants than in the rest of
the Crismon family. All the family seem to have come to this county together in the early
eighteen thirties and thereafter made it their home, that of William W. being up the
branch east of the former Tavern post office. The nine children born of this marriage and
living to maturity were: Isaac, Stephen, Gilbert, William W. Junior, Gabriel, Eliza,
Rachel, Judith, and Mary.
In common with all the other sons of William W. Crismon, his son Isaac A. enlisted
in the Confederate Army at the beginning of the Civil War, and served most of it. He was
unfortunate enough to have an arm shoot off while in Alton Prison after his capture, in
the course of a prison break in which he was taking no part. Hence his name of ‘OneArmed Ike’. His first wife was Susan, daughter of Asa Rowden. They lived their entire
married lives in Maries county and both died here. They were the parents of eight
children living to maturity:
Carroll W. Crismon, born in 1845, died single August 3, 1925.
W.A. (Asa) Crismon, married Eliza J. Wilson February 15, 1875, and died childless
May 19, 1936.
Rufus O. Crismon, married Margaret Emeline Gibson June 6, 1875. His three
children, all living, are: Hosea and Stella, wife of W.W. Humphrey of this county, and
Elsie, wife of Ted Morrow of Kirkwood.
Mary Crismon, the oldest daughter, born April 6, 1848, was married October 15,
1866, to Louis Kellison, and died early in life. She left two children, one of whom, John,
lives in New Mexico; the daughter, Lillie, married a man named Lane and died near
Jenks, Oklahoma, leaving a family, but their present names and addresses are not known.
Margaret Ann Crismon was born July 12, 1849, and died January 20, 1877. She was
the second wife of William Clayton, and left three children, of whom the daughter,
Charlsie, was the first wife of Judge George Martin, and died childless; Ray, a son,
married Eva Hensley and died in Laclede County November 4, 1934; his widow and
children all live in that county. George Clayton, the third child, lives in this county.
Matilda C. Crismon, born April 20, 1851, married William Laughlin Sherrill, and
died June 10, 1874. Of her three children her oldest child, Mildred, married, first, Emmett
Bumpass, and, second, George C. Lawson, and is now dead. Her two children living to
maturity are: Maud, wife of Leonard Veasman of Pulaski County, and Eunice, wife of
Emmett Drake of St. Louis. Juna, the other daughter, married Dave Lair and died in
Colorado, and her only son was killed their by a horse before reaching his majority.
George Sherrill, the surviving son, lives west of Arlington on Highway 66 in Phelps
County.
Eliza E. Crismon, born June 27, 1855, married William Massey November 5, 1872,
and died February 24, 1882. Her family is described in this chapter under her married
name.
Jennie A. Crismon, youngest of the eight children of Isaac and Susan Crismon, was
born January 27, 1859. She was married to O.F. Pounder March 20, 1881, and died April
28, 1888, the mother of three daughters: Mary, wife of James Groves, lives in either
Pulaski or Wright County near Saint Anne, and Sadie, wife of William Connor, in Miller
County near Iberia. Alma, the third daughter, married a Thompson in Miller County, and
is dead. She left children, but their names have not been received.
Some years after the death of his first wife Isaac Crismon married Margaret Emeline
Crismon, nee Gibson, widow of his son, Rufus O. Crismon. She was born April 26, 1867,
and died November 26, 1892, the mother of one daughter by the last marriage, Maud,
now wife of Gordon Jones. Isaac A. Crismon died June 24, 1892.
Stephen Crismon, son of William W. Senior, so far as in known, left no record of his
birth and death dates. In common with all his brothers, he served in the Confederate
Army, although long past the usual age for such service. He seems to have move around
more than most of the members of his family, mostly in this county until the Civil War.
Soon after its close he moved to Ozark County, and later to Franklin County, where he
died sometime in the seventies.
He was three times married, the given name of his first wife not having been
received. She was a sister of Elijah Breeding, and was the mother of three children, Polly,
Judith, and Susan. The first married James, son of David Miller, and moved to Texas
with the rest of that family about the time of the war. Judith married James Capehart and
moved to Ozark County a great many years ago. Both she and her husband are long since
dead leaving at least three children, Robert, James, and John. The first named died in
1901 and the other two are thought to live in Oklahoma, but their post office addresses
are not known. Susan married John Gibson; her family is included in the Gibson and
Powers section of the chapter on Early Churches.
Stephen Crismon’s second marriage was to Jane, daughter of John Miller (not related
to David) by whom he was also the father of three children: Martha, wife of J.R. Helton,
whose issue is noted in the Helton section of this chapter; Ella who married Moses
Stratton and whose only child, now Mrs. Paralee Muskrat, lives at Strange, Oklahoma;
and Lottie who married Spot Bacon and is also dead; the five children born of this
marriage and still living are: Moore, James, Dudley, Washington, and L.N. living around
Oklahoma City. Three other children born of this marriage died in infancy.
His third marriage was to Sallie Ezell, and three children were born of this marriage
also: Jeff who died in infancy, Frances who married Wash Taylor, and Amanda whose
married name is not at hand. Both the girls lived at Holdenville, Oklahoma, some years
ago, and may now be dead.
We have next to nothing about Gabriel (Gabe) Crismon, the remaining son of
William W. Senior. The best tradition is that his wife was a Mears, and that he died in
early middle age, survived by three children and his widow, whose further history is not
at hand. The children, all now dead, were Rachel, Emeline, and Alex. Rachel Crismon
married John H. Cox May 30, 1872, in this county. No further facts are at hand
concerning her and it may be that they moved west. Emeline married Marion Wilson.
One of her sons, Everett, now lives at Iberia; she had another son, Gabe, and a daughter
whose present whereabouts are not known to relatives here. Gabriel Crismon’s son, Alex,
first married Frances, daughter of Thomas Wiles, by whom he was the father of two
children, Effie who married her cousin, Everett Wilson, and lives at Iberia, and Alfred
now in Oklahoma. His second marriage was to Ann, daughter of Frank Dodds, who lives
at Jenks, Oklahoma. They were the parents of at least four children: Gabriel, Kate, now
Mrs. Wasson, all yet living presumably near Jenks, and Richard who married and died
leaving descendants.
Of the daughters of William W. Crismon Senior, Mary married John T. Hughes and
Rachel married Samuel Strickland. The records of these two will be found under their
married names.
Judith Crismon, daughter of William W. Senior, married W.A. (Lannie) Murphy
some time around Civil War days, and died at Vienna between 1880 and 1885. Her
widower survived her some years and is also long since dead, as are all of their seven
children. One of the children, George, died in infancy. The others, all of whom left
descendants are:
Lou Ellen, probably the oldest, married William Cox and lived most of her married
life in Oklahoma; her two children are Oliver and a daughter, married name unknown,
both of whom live in or near Anadarko. William C. Murphy, the oldest son, was married
March 30, 1873, to Martha, daughter of Edward Moss. He died during his term as Sheriff
of the County, or shortly thereafter, survived by his widow who later married Ben
Coffey, and his one daughter, Ella. His granddaughter, Rea, is now the wife of R.E.
Crismon and lives in Jefferson City. Jack Murphy, the second oldest son, married Ella
Burchard. He died early in life, too, leaving one son, William, who left Missouri more
than thirty years ago and has been out of touch with relatives here ever since. The widow
afterwards married Perry Ready and died some few years ago southwest of Springfield.
Hallie Murphy, the second daughter, married Oliver Bumpass, and her descendants are
noted in the chapter on Early Physicians. A.H. (Ham) Murphy married Maude M.,
granddaughter of Isaac C. Backues, who survives as the wife of W.A. Martin of Franklin
County. The three children born of this union, all yet living, are: Isaac, with the Shell
Pipe Line at Oetters Station; Mabel, wife of Rainey Goodman of St. Louis; and Ester of
Chicago.
James Monroe, twice Sheriff and twice Collector of the county, was born June 4,
1872, and died May 19, 1934. He was married to Effie Helton November 10, 1898, and
after a few years on the upper Little Maries lived in and near Vienna the rest of his life.
His widow still lives here. The five children living to maturity are: Myrtle, wife of John
James of St. James; Lillian, wife of Earl Allen of Vichy; Kathleen, wife of Leo
Sandbothe of Argyle; Boone of Vienna; and Wayne of Jefferson City.
Members of the Massey family have always been in agreement about one thing, and
that thing is to disagree about the spelling of their name. One hundred and fifty years ago
many families of that name lived in North Carolina and Virginia. The Virginians were
about fifty-fifty as to spelling it Massey or Massie, but in North Carolina only one
member of the clan spelled it Massie. The same names in Missouri are almost
interchangeable, even members of the same family using different forms, but, as in North
Carolina, those who spell it ‘Massey’ seem to be slightly in the majority.
Three families of this name have figured in Maries County affairs, but only one of
them to any considerable extent. Samuel Massey entered land in this county in 1831, but
is was in connection with the operation of the Meramec Iron Works, in which he was
interested. He never lived here, and his interests were later acquired by members of the
James family. Henry A. Massie acquired land on the Dry Fork of the Bourbeuse in 1832,
but soon sold out to one of the Johnsons and probably moved away since nothing more
has been found concerning him. William Massey was the head of the third family of that
name, and the only one connected with Maries County affairs to any considerable extent.
William Massey was the son of David and Jane Massie, and was born April 5, 1805,
in either North Carolina or Tennessee. His first recorded appearance in Missouri affairs
was on January 10, 1828, on which day he was married to Elizabeth, daughter of George
Hill, who was born July 29, 1812. Her birthplace is not known. The ceremony was
performed by David Waldo, Justice of the Peace in (then) Gasconade County, and while
he wrote his name Massey in transacting his business, it is interesting to note that the
marriage certificate is Massie. There were several other Masseys in Gasconade County,
but William Massey likely spent most of his married life in present Maries County. He
entered part of the present Frank Prewett and John Dill farms in 1831, and since his
father-in-law lived in that vicinity Massey probably settled near him. He died November
15, 1845. His widow, Aunt Bette Massey, later owned and as late as the middle seventies
lived on land on the Little Maries now owned by the Fitzpatricks. Later she made her
home with her daughter, Mrs. Ferguson, on the Little Tavern, until her death about 1890.
She is buried at the Red or Rowden Cemetery.
They were the parents of eight children: Mary, Ivy, Elizabeth, Belinda (also written
Malinda), George W., Charles W., Catherine, and William. Of these, Charles was born
July 18, 1841, and died single December 27, 1861. Mary Massey, born March 23, 1831,
married Rufus Rowden, and her descendents are to be found under that name. Ivy
Massey, born February 24, 1833, married James Ferguson, one of the old-time
schoolmasters of this and Miller County. She was the mother of one son, Owen, who died
single. Elizabeth Massey, born January 6, 1836, married John Shelton; her issue is
recorded under her married name.
Belinda, or Malinda Massey, born January 1, 1838, married a Cowan, and after his
death, childless, she married Thomas Ross and moved to Colorado, where she spent the
remainder of her life and where any of her descendants now likely live.
George W. Massey, born March 17, 1839, died in infancy.
Catherine Massey, born August 27, 1843, married James H., son of Satterthwaite
Tyree, and died September 30, 1917. Her family will be found under her husband’s name.
William Massey, the youngest child, born October 25, 1845, died in Bates County,
Missouri, December 24, 1884. He was married October 3, 1872, by Reverend Edward
Moss, to Eliza, daughter of Isaac A. (One-Armed Ike) Crismon. She was born here
January 27, 1845, and the young couple made their home in this county until about 1881,
when they removed to Bates County, where Mrs. Massey died February 24, 1882. Of the
four children born of this marriage and living to maturity, only one, Arthur B. (Brance)
lives in this county which he served as Probate Judge and Sheriff. Ray and Waldo both
live in Yale, Oklahoma. Sylvia, the only daughter, married Hugh Slone and died in New
Mexico in 1921, leaving her husband and six children: Clyde, Lillie, Bertie, Opal,
Willard, and Fay, all in Oklahoma. Their married names have not been received.
Very little is known concerning David Massey, the ancestor of
the Massey family above set out. He entered land in the extreme
northwest corner of present Franklin County July 16, 1818, but must
have moved a short distance west very shortly, because he was a
member of one of the first juries in Gasconade County in 1822.
Gasconade County was organized in 1820, but did not begin to
function as a county until 1821, and this was likely the second term
of court held there. Among other things they passed on was a murder
case, the defendant being found guilty and fined fifty dollars, as well
as sentenced to a year and a day in jail. It is not likely that David
Massey ever lived within the present limits of Maries County.

Notes for Dillard Greene:
Dillard was one of the very early settlers and a Methodist preacher of Maries County.
The small church sat in the valley near the Green Cemetery, not far from his home where
they raised their children and cared for paupers and old people. The home place lay on
the south bank of the Gasconade River, west of Paydown. The buildings were built from
lumber bought from riverboats that came up and down the Gasconade River. The only
reminder of this small hamlet is the small cemetery nestled among some large cedar trees,
with a fence that completely encloses a few headstones. You see no reminder today of a
house or church ever being close by.

Notes for John Lewis Whidden:
John L. (Long John) Whidden
By Spessard Stone
South Florida in its pioneer days, like the "Wild West," had a wideopen range with a number of infamous outlaws, one of whom was
John L. Whidden, commonly known as "Long John" Whidden.
A member of the prominent Whidden family, John L. Whidden was
born ca. 1838 in Florida, probably Levy County. He was a son of
William and Lucinda Whidden. Early Hillsborough County, Florida
records of guardianship show that on January 11, 1855 James
Whidden, Sr. and others petitioned that James Whidden, Jr. be
appointed as guardian of John, William, Mary, James, and George
W. Whidden, "minor heirs of Lucinda Whidden, late of said county."
On July 29, 1859 James L. Whidden, Jr., guardian of James and
George W. Whidden, reported 35 head of cattle belonging to the
estate. On September 26, 1859, however, James and George W.
Whidden, minor children of William Whidden, citing the failure of
James Whidden Sr. to perform his duty, requested that their brother,
John Whidden, be appointed their guardian.
Thus orphaned with the care of his siblings, John L. early learned the
old saying, "Life isn't always fair." How John was to react, however,
was to set him apart from other members of his clan and the
community-at-large.
During the Third Seminole War, John enlisted as a private in Capt.
Leroy G. Lesley's Company. Here John L. first began to evidence
that nonconformist conduct which would later lead to his downfall.
Capt. Lesley, who was also a Methodist minister in the Old
Testament warrior tradition, on November 25, 1857 requested that
Unknown Whidden be discharged for disobedience and insolence
and he was drummed out of service.
John T. Lesley of Tampa, son of Capt. Leroy G. Lesley, in May
1904 declared of John, “Whidden known as Cutthroat John and his
brother William Whidden with another man did desert the company
at Fort Meade when the company was ordered to the Big Cypress..."
John T. Lesley on June 4, 1910 further averred:
"This John Whidden who had a brother William deserted together
with his brother William. We were stationed at Fort Meade and were
ordered to go to the Everglades in the interior of the state and they
John Whidden and his brother William said they would not go and
were put under guard. They then promised to go with us but when
we started they were missing. At this time this John Whidden and
his brother William were members of my father's company."
It appeared, however, that John was ready to settle down from his
errant ways as on January 14, 1858 he took as his bride 17-year-old
Artemissa Driggers. It seemed only an aberration when he in April
was charged with "willfully marking the calf of another." His
mavericking was settled, and John and his wife started anew at Fort
Hartsuff.
The Whiddens were enumerated in household 34/34 in the Fort
Hartsuff area (now Wauchula) in the 1860 census of Manatee
County, dated June 11. Living with John, 22, and Artemissa, 19,
besides their one-year-old son, William, and one-month son, James,
were John's 18-year-old brother, James, and 16-year-old brother,
George W. Neighbors included the families of: Daniel Douglas,
Isaiah Smith, and Ann Driggers.
During the Civil War, John enlisted as a private at Key West on
December 8, 1863 in Company A, Second Florida Cavalry, United
States Army. Company records described him as a refugee from the
Confederacy, born 1835 Levy Co., 6 feet, with blue eyes, light hair
& fair skin, occupation, farmer. He was mustered out November 29,
1865 at Tallahassee.
After the war, he settled near Fort Ogden, where he resumed his
livelihood as a farmer/stockman.
1869 found John again in trouble with the law. In May 1869, he was
charged with larceny. Owen R. Blount and David D. Whidden
became his sureties, which action they would later regret when on
November 11, 1872 John L. was declared in default, and they were
ordered by the state to pay the recognizances.
While in Manatee County court, John L. burned his bridges with his
religious neighbors when on May 7, 1869 he filed an affidavit in
which he alleged: "...that on or about the third day of April 1869 one
Wm. P. McEwen did create a disturbance at a place of worship in
the vicinity of Fort Ogden -- by loud and abusive language
addressed to the deponent, and by threatening and drawing a weapon
upon him..." Wm. P. McEwen was the Rev. William Penn McEwen,
a beloved circuit-riding Methodist minister. No further legal action
could be found on the allegation.
On March 7, 1870, Frank Griffin gave a deposition before John
Bartholf, Clerk of the Circuit Court of Manatee County, in which he
charged that on February 7 in the vicinity of Fort Ogden he was "set
upon without cause, pretext or provocation by one F. C. M. Boggess,
John L. Whidden, Joseph Brooker and David Whidden, and
assaulted and pursued with deadly weapons...with threats to kill
him..." A cowhunter employed by Simeon Hollingsworth, Griffin is
believed to have been an ex-slave.
Whidden next added manslaughter to his crimes. Francis A. Ivey,
who'd served with John in Company A, Second Florida Cavalry,
lived in Fort Ogden township with his wife, Barbary, and two
daughters, Mary Frances and Caroline. The nickname of "Long
John" was first applied in print to Whidden in the Florida Peninsular
of June 29, 1870:
"Man Killed--Francis A. Ivey was killed by John Whidden (Long
John) near Fort Myers, Monroe county, not long since, under the
following circumstances as we have heard them: The parties were
minding a drove of beef cattle, and fell out as to which had control
of them.-- High words ensued; Ivey advanced upon Whidden, threw
sticks and trash in Whidden's face, whereupon Whidden, after
repeatedly warning Ivey to stand off, drew his knife and stabbed him
in the abdomen. Ivey lived about a week after he was stabbed.
Whidden had not been arrested up to latest dates." Ivey died on June
11, 1870. Long John fled and was never apparently arrested.
Long John Whidden was soon heard of again when the Florida
Peninsular of October 5, 1870 chronicled a further altercation in
Manatee County: "We learn that a difficulty occurred between a
young man named Parish and a man called Long John, in which the
long gentleman was stabbed. The wounds inflicted upon Long John
are supposed to be mortal, and Parish has left the county." Described
"as almost a giant in size and in appearance as strong as Hercules,"
Long John arose from his "death-bed" and fled the (for him) hostile
environment for Sumter County.
Trouble and Long John were synonymous. On August 7, 1878 in
Manatee County, Jackson Prine was killed with John being the
suspect. Frances Prine, the widow, testified: "The said Prine was
killed on the 7th of Aug. 1878 at about dark in Manatee Co., Fla.
There was no one present except Prine, Myself and Baby and my
son. John Whidden was lying on the bed, sick. Prine and me were
out in the shed. I heard the report of a gun, and Prine fell at my feet,
on his face, he died immediately and if he ever spoke any thing I
never heard it and at the time the gun fired he was whipping me with
a strop of leather. I heard John get off the bed, and then he caught
me by my right arm and asked me what was the matter."
The Whiddens were enumerated in the 1880 census of Sumter
County. Listed in the household, besides John, age 44, and his wife
Mary, 21, were seven children, Wm. F., 18 [?]; James, 18; Ellen E.
16; Artimien, 12; John M., 9; Mary H., 4; Jessie F. (son), 2.
Long John and his son, Irvin, in May 1882, provoked a fight that led
to murder of Thomas W. "Tom" Jones, which placed them beyond
the pale of the law to become outlaws with a bounty on Long John.
The Florida Daily Times of Sunday, May 21, 1882 reported:
"Tampa, May 16"The news reached Tampa Monday of the murder of Mr. Tom Jones,
formerly a citizen here, in Webster, Sumter County, last week. The
circumstances appear to be about as follows:
"Two rowdies came to the mill Mr. Jones was employed at, and
started the machinery of the mill when the workmen were at their
dinner. Jones immediately stopped the moving machinery, and
ordered the men to desist and leave. The rowdies then knocked Tom
down and left. Tom, being a small man, of course, could not defend
himself against two giant, drunken bullies.
"At the close of the day's labor, Jones returned to his boarding
house, and there he encountered the men who so cowardily assaulted
him at the mill. However, being of a peaceful turn of mind, he
overlooked the occurrence of the morning and let the matter drop. At
the supper table the two rowdies commenced again to renew the
quarrel and threw a plate at Jones and cut him up pretty badly. Even
then Jones would not fight, and went down to the store of the millowner. He did this in order to keep out of their way. He was fearful
the men might follow him still, so he took his gun and loaded it.
"To protect his life he loaded his gun with buckshot. Soon his
tormentors followed him, this time on trouble bent. Jones called to
them to leave, but they still advanced, threatening him. He fired a
load at one, and then another load at the other. The loads were well
aimed, but a lack of powder made them ineffective. The ruffians
advance and shot him down. He was killed at the first fire. This was
not enough. The murderers advanced and emptied their six shooters
in the dead body of their victim and then coolly walked off."
Declaring they would not be taken alive, Long John, now called
"Black John," and Irvin eluded capture by a sheriff's posse to flee to
the Ten Thousand Islands. There they were joined by others of the
family and secreted themselves on Ramrod Key, opposite Torch
Key. An enticing $1,000 reward was offered for Black John.
In 1888, H. H. Herndon, deputy sheriff of Sumter County, having
learned of Whidden's hideout, journeyed to Key West. Posing as
desirous of purchasing land somewhere on the coast to engage in the
breeding of sheep, goats, and poultry for the Key West market,
Herndon engineered a sting, maneuvering Long John to come to
Torch Key to discuss selling his improvement on Ramrod Key and
with the assistance of a Mr. Johnson and Garry Nile captured the
fugitive, but only after a desperate struggle with Whidden and the
seizure of Long John's trusty rifle from his twelve-year-old son who
was in the act of firing when Johnson snatched the rifle.
Then Herndon went to Ramrod Key and arrested Irvin, who offered
no resistance. Thus, after three or four weeks, the lawman had
finally snared his prey. On March 31, 1888, he arrived at Key West
with his prisoners and from there they were sent via mail boat to
Tampa and then to the Sumterville jail. Left behind at Ramrod Key
were Long John's wife and three children.
Sumter County Sheriff Chapman subsequently carried Long John to
Gainesville in April where he was imprisoned awaiting the next
session of the circuit court. Irvin, deemed less dangerous, was left
confined in the Sumterville jail.
The Lakeland Cracker, reprinted in the Weekly News-Herald of
April 5, 1888, noted that beside the Jones murder, John L. had also
eluded the law in another murder case, that of Frank Ivy [sic], "Ivy
had killed a brother of Whidden, and was in turn was killed by
Whidden."
On March 15, 1889, John Whidden for the murder of Tom Jones was
sentenced to life imprisonment. The 24-year-old Irvin also received
a life sentence. John L. "Long John" Whidden died in prison on
November 11, 1891. Irvin, due to his youth when the murder
occurred, drew sympathy from a number of prominent citizens in
Sumterville, including the jury who convicted him, and a petition
was circulated for his pardon. On March 15, 1897, Irvin was
released. Thus did mercy season justice.

young man named Parish and a man called Long John, in which the
long gentleman was stabbed. The wounds inflicted upon Long John
are supposed to be mortal, and Parish has left the county." Described
"as almost a giant in size and in appearance as strong as Hercules,"
Long John arose from his "death-bed" and fled the (for him) hostile
environment for Sumter County.
Trouble and Long John were synonymous. On August 7, 1878 in
Manatee County, Jackson Prine was killed with John being the
suspect. Frances Prine, the widow, testified: "The said Prine was
killed on the 7th of Aug. 1878 at about dark in Manatee Co., Fla.
There was no one present except Prine, Myself and Baby and my
son. John Whidden was lying on the bed, sick. Prine and me were
out in the shed. I heard the report of a gun, and Prine fell at my feet,
on his face, he died immediately and if he ever spoke any thing I
never heard it and at the time the gun fired he was whipping me with
a strop of leather. I heard John get off the bed, and then he caught
me by my right arm and asked me what was the matter."
The Whiddens were enumerated in the 1880 census of Sumter
County. Listed in the household, besides John, age 44, and his wife
Mary, 21, were seven children, Wm. F., 18 [?]; James, 18; Ellen E.
16; Artimien, 12; John M., 9; Mary H., 4; Jessie F. (son), 2.
Long John and his son, Irvin, in May 1882, provoked a fight that led
to murder of Thomas W. "Tom" Jones, which placed them beyond
the pale of the law to become outlaws with a bounty on Long John.
The Florida Daily Times of Sunday, May 21, 1882 reported:
"Tampa, May 16"The news reached Tampa Monday of the murder of Mr. Tom Jones,
formerly a citizen here, in Webster, Sumter County, last week. The
circumstances appear to be about as follows:
"Two rowdies came to the mill Mr. Jones was employed at, and
started the machinery of the mill when the workmen were at their
dinner. Jones immediately stopped the moving machinery, and
ordered the men to desist and leave. The rowdies then knocked Tom
down and left. Tom, being a small man, of course, could not defend
himself against two giant, drunken bullies.
"At the close of the day's labor, Jones returned to his boarding
house, and there he encountered the men who so cowardily assaulted
him at the mill. However, being of a peaceful turn of mind, he
overlooked the occurrence of the morning and let the matter drop. At
the supper table the two rowdies commenced again to renew the
quarrel and threw a plate at Jones and cut him up pretty badly. Even
then Jones would not fight, and went down to the store of the millowner. He did this in order to keep out of their way. He was fearful
the men might follow him still, so he took his gun and loaded it.
"To protect his life he loaded his gun with buckshot. Soon his
tormentors followed him, this time on trouble bent. Jones called to
them to leave, but they still advanced, threatening him. He fired a
load at one, and then another load at the other. The loads were well
aimed, but a lack of powder made them ineffective. The ruffians
advance and shot him down. He was killed at the first fire. This was
not enough. The murderers advanced and emptied their six shooters
in the dead body of their victim and then coolly walked off."
Declaring they would not be taken alive, Long John, now called
"Black John," and Irvin eluded capture by a sheriff's posse to flee to
the Ten Thousand Islands. There they were joined by others of the
family and secreted themselves on Ramrod Key, opposite Torch
Key. An enticing $1,000 reward was offered for Black John.
In 1888, H. H. Herndon, deputy sheriff of Sumter County, having
learned of Whidden's hideout, journeyed to Key West. Posing as
desirous of purchasing land somewhere on the coast to engage in the
breeding of sheep, goats, and poultry for the Key West market,
Herndon engineered a sting, maneuvering Long John to come to
Torch Key to discuss selling his improvement on Ramrod Key and
with the assistance of a Mr. Johnson and Garry Nile captured the
fugitive, but only after a desperate struggle with Whidden and the
seizure of Long John's trusty rifle from his twelve-year-old son who
was in the act of firing when Johnson snatched the rifle.
Then Herndon went to Ramrod Key and arrested Irvin, who offered
no resistance. Thus, after three or four weeks, the lawman had
finally snared his prey. On March 31, 1888, he arrived at Key West
with his prisoners and from there they were sent via mail boat to
Tampa and then to the Sumterville jail. Left behind at Ramrod Key
were Long John's wife and three children.
Sumter County Sheriff Chapman subsequently carried Long John to
Gainesville in April where he was imprisoned awaiting the next
session of the circuit court. Irvin, deemed less dangerous, was left
confined in the Sumterville jail.
The Lakeland Cracker, reprinted in the Weekly News-Herald of
April 5, 1888, noted that beside the Jones murder, John L. had also
eluded the law in another murder case, that of Frank Ivy [sic], "Ivy
had killed a brother of Whidden, and was in turn was killed by
Whidden."
On March 15, 1889, John Whidden for the murder of Tom Jones was
sentenced to life imprisonment. The 24-year-old Irvin also received
a life sentence. John L. "Long John" Whidden died in prison on
November 11, 1891. Irvin, due to his youth when the murder
occurred, drew sympathy from a number of prominent citizens in
Sumterville, including the jury who convicted him, and a petition
was circulated for his pardon. On March 15, 1897, Irvin was
released. Thus did mercy season justice.

The Yowell family of Welsh descent, to thebest of my knowledge came
to Washington County, Kentucky in the 1700's by covered wagon from
Culpepper County, Virginia, along with the Coppedges. Humphrey Yowell
married Helen Coppedge in Kentucky and moved to Crawford County,
Missouri, later known as Phelps County, Missouri, about 1825. Humphrey's
father was James Yowell. Helen's parents were William Coppedge and Polly
Abell. Humphrey and Helen homesteaded a large tract of land along the
Little Piney River. They had one son , Easton Ship (1821-1859), while
still in Kentucky. After moving to Missouri, Easton was a merchant on
the Little Piney with his wife Nancy J. (Bradford) Yowell. Humphrey and
Helen had several children after moving to Missouri. They were William
Coppedge (1828-1873) married Elizabeth Webber; Lindsey Long I (July 30,
1830 - Jan. 29, 1876) married Sarah Ann Wilson; James A. (1833-1864)
married Harriet Parker; Henson (abt. 1838); Spencer P. (abt. 1841);
Amanda married John B. Ansley; and three unnamed girls.
* (One of the three unnamed girls was Lucinda born May 9, 1821/1822
in KY and died 11-16-1905 at age 84 years, 6 months and 7 days, she is
buried in the Newburg Cemetery. She married Jacob Hoss. - per Barbara
Pugh and Carrie Edgar) (The reason the girls were mentioned as unnamed
is because Humphrey was found on an early Census (bef. 1850) and his
children were listed as boys or girls with no names. When Humphrey is
found in the 1850 Census these three girls are already married - per
Barbara Pugh)
The railbed, later knownas the Frisco-Burlington-Northern Railroad,
was used heavily by the Civil War soldiers. It was known then as the
Springfield-Rolla road. This road ran through the Humphrey and James A.
Yowell farms that were located between Rolla and Newburg. Lindsey Long I
married Sarah Ann (Wilson) Yowell (Nov. 5, 1834 - Oct. 11, 1923) who was
the sister of notorious bushwacker, Bill Wilson, of whom much is written
and documented in the National Archives, Washington, D.C. After the
death of Lindsey Long I, Sarah Ann married David H. Inyard, inAugust
1879.
Sixty acres of the old Yowell farm is now in the ownership of the
great-great grandson of Humphrey Yowell, Leonard Lee Yowell of
Wilmington, Delaware and his mother Edna and step-father Jess Crabtree of
St. Louis, Missouri. The old Yowell Cemetery is still there with the
tombstones of Easton S. and William C Yowell in good condition. Also a
footstone witht the initials of L. L. Y. Humphrey may be buried her
also. The old house burned many years ago but there is an old log house
still standing. The grounds and log house are being renovated at this
time by the family. The farm was owned, at one time, by Phil and Preshey
McKinnion, who

Notes for James W. Whidden:
James W. Whidden
By Spessard Stone
James W. Whidden was the first white settler of the Peace River
Valley of Florida.
James W. Whidden, son of James Whiddon, Sr. aka Whitton, was
born June 20, 1791 in that part of Washington County, Georgia that
in 1796 became Montgomery County. A family Bible has "James
Whitton," with his birth given as heretofore listed, but 1790 has also
been cited by a descendant. The family surname variously was
spelled also as Whitten, Whiten, Whiddon, and Whidden, with the
latter becoming the accepted form during the last years of James
W.'s life. About 1818, James W. married Mary Altman, born 1801 in
South Carolina, daughter of Thomas and Lydia Altman. The couple
lived in Appling (1820 census), and Ware (1830 census) counties in
Georgia before moving in December 1830 to Upper Mineral
Springs, Hamilton County (1840 census), Florida.
During the Second Seminole War, James began what was to be a
protracted battle with the Seminoles when he served in 1838-39 in
Capt. William B. North's Company.
Under terms of the Armed Occupation Act of 1842, James Whitten,
on February 17, 1843 laid claim to land at Alafia, a few miles south
of Tampa in Hillsborough County, Florida described as: "Lying
about three miles above the fork of the big and little Alifia River.
Line commencing at a Blazed pine tree marked JW running thence
due West 160 Rods - thence due North 160 rods -- thence due East
160 Rods thence due North [sic] 160 Rods, Embracing One Quarter
Section of Land." On September 7, 1846, James was appointed a
road commissioner of the Alafia District.
Sidney Whidden in September 1966, reminisced of his grandfather:
He seemed to get along very well with the Indians who often
stopped at the place and camped overnight on their raiding trips to
Tampa. They would spend the night at the Whidden farm and
proceed to Tampa the next morning and do such trading as they
could. About the only thing they produced or brought in for trading
was skins of animals they had killed and needed for food. They
traded skins for such articles as they needed most, which often
included whiskey."
Sidney further related that an Indian named Old Frank and his squaw
chose to live on the Whidden farm. This caused trouble, as his chief
decreed that Old Frank return to his tribe. When he refused, the chief
broke a whiskey bottle over Old Frank's head and then chopped at
him with a broken bottle. Although he returned to the tribe, he,
thereafter, on three occasions warned James of potential trouble.
Twice they fled their farm until the danger was over. On another
time James knocked the chief on his head with his rifle when he
tried to force his way into the house.
At the beginning of the spring of 1849, James became the first white
settler of the Peace River Valley when he and his family settled
illegally in a neutral zone, which had been reserved as a buffer
between the Indians and white settlers. The site was located
southwest of Pease Creek Settlement (now Bartow) near a creek,
which soon was called Whidden Creek.
Indian agent John Casey visited the Whidden settlement in March
1849. On March 19, 1849, Casey noted in his diary: "...this AM
Sampson and I visit Pea Creek see Chaifee & wife on the deading -E. of last night's camp -- like the place. Trees destroyed by hail year
after Jackson was on the Suwanee -- Pretty little girl (Lizzy) at
Whidden's. I find healthy looking boys & children -- road very
crooked at store -- Darling's avenue.”
The settlement was, however, temporarily abandoned after four
Indians on July 19, 1849 shot into the Whidden house and wounded
a son. The family sought refuge at Alafia where they were soon
joined by their daughter, Nancy and her husband William
McCullough, refugees from the Indian attack at the KennedyDarling store on July 17, in which son Dempsey Whidden and Capt.
George S. Payne had been killed and William and Nancy wounded.
The attack had been perpetrated by a small band of outlaw Indians.
Three were, thereafter, turned over to General Twiggs while a fourth
was slain by the Indians as they wanted to avoid a war. The bereaved
father yearned for revenge and served in Capt. John Parker's
Company, which was raised after the murders. He also petitioned
Judge Simon Turman for a state warrant for the murderers, but
General Twiggs opted with a military solution by deporting the three
Indians to Arkansas.
The Whiddens returned to Whidden Creek. As James Whitton, he
and Mary and unmarried children were enumerated in household #
139 in the Pease Creek Settlement in the 1850 census of
Hillsborough County, dated October 29. The Agricultural Schedule
showed him to have sixty-six head of cattle.
The Third Seminole War offered the aged Whidden a second
opportunity for revenge, but he was only to endure more sorrow.
Records show the Whidden clan of age unanimously joined the
militia companies of Captains Hooker, Durrance and Lesley. James
W. served in Hooker and Lesley's companies. His son, James L.
Whidden, and sons-in-law, William L. Campbell and William
McCullough, were in Hooker's Company while Rabun Raulerson,
another son-in-law, and sons, Lott and John Whidden, saw action in
Durrance's Company. Again, James was to endure the loss of a son
to the Indians. In the Willoughby Tillis Battle on June 14, 1856, 2nd
Lt. Alderman Carlton, William Parker, and Lott Whidden, the
nineteen-year-old son of James, married only four days before, were
killed.
In the ensuing battle of June 16, Robert Prine and George Howell
were killed, with James Whidden being wounded. Soldiers of
Florida by the name of James Whidden, Sr. has this notation,
"Wounded at Peace River, June 16 '56." It was, however, James L.
Whidden, son of James W., who received the wound. On October 3,
1892, James L. Whidden, of Fort Meade, attested, "That while a
member of the organization aforesaid [Hooker's Co.], in the service
and in the line of duty near Ft. Meade in the State of Florida on or
about the 16th day of June 1856, he was wounded by being shot with
a ball from a rifle, said ball striking his person on the right side of
the right thigh and penetrated some distance."
Probably, after the war's end, James W. Whidden relocated near Fort
Pierce. Again, Sidney Whidden recalled:
"He later tried a settlement on Ten Mile Creek out of Ft. Pierce but
was washed out by a high water from a hurricane. The entire place
was covered with water and mullet were jumping in the potato patch.
His cattle had all departed back toward the west coast so they
abandoned the Ten Mile Creek project and moved to what is now
Polk County. I believe his first farm in Polk County was two miles
west of Fort Meade."
James W. Whidden died at Phosphoria in Polk County in 1869. He
was followed in death by his wife, Mary Whidden, a few months
later. He was remembered as "a strapping big Irishman who wasn't
afraid of the devil and a buzzsaw." They are buried in Old Elam
Cemetery, in the old Chicora section, west of Fort Meade. In March
1938, William J. J. Whidden, a grandson, placed a double headstone
over the graves.

[2905146.FTW]
No record of Jacob Arnett and Tabbitha <> Ray's marriage hasbeen located in records of
Washington County, Hawkins County,Knox County, or Grainger County marriage
records, although it islikely that they married about 1794 or 1795 in Washington
Countywhere David Ray's estate was probated. (Since Jacob andTabbitha's son named
his first son NELSON Arnett, perhaps thatis Tabbitha's maiden name orthe maiden name
of Ann CoffeeArnett's mother, Esther. Nelson seems to have been a veryuncommon
given name in Grainger County, so it is likely asurname used as a given name.)
Tabbitha Ray Arnett's children Abner, Samuel, and Ann RaySparkman (wife of Levi
Sparkman) sold land to Jacob Arnett in1820 -- 240 acres onBuffalo Creek, for $100.00 in
hand. Theboundaries of the land were same as established by David Ray Sr.and Stephen

Tennessee.
626. John D., Jr. Coffey, born 1733 in Essex County, Virginia; died Aft. 1814 in
most likely Grainger County, Tennessee. He was the son of 1252. John D., Sr. Coffey
and 1253. Jane (Jean) Graves. He married 627. Dorcas Carter Abt. 1755 in Albemarle
County, Virginia.
627. Dorcas Carter, born 1735 in Prob. Goochland Co., (now Albemarle Co.)
Virginia; died Abt. 1800 in Tennessee. She was the daughter of 1254. (John ?) Carter.
Notes for John D., Jr. Coffey:
[2905146.FTW]
John Coffee/Coffey married Dorcas Carter about 1755. He was bornabout 1733 in Essex
County, Virginia. Dorcas was said to be thedaughter of John Carter and hermother's name
may have beenPatsy. However, there was a William Carter in Albemarle Countywith a
wife named Dorcas.
John Coffee's second wife was Nancy Richardson. The childrenbelow are presumed to
be children of John Coffee and DorcasCarter. There may have been other children born to
John andDorcas or John andNancy, but they are unknown.
John Coffey was probably the John Confey [sic]on a list ofsurveys dated Jun 1746 - June
1747, Albemarle Co. for 150 acres.Magazine of
Virginia Genealogy, vol. XXIII, p. 276."
John Coffee appears in the 1810 Census for Grainger County,Tennessee as well as the tax
list for the county in that year.Meredith lived nearby. Their land was on the south side
ofClinch Mountain near Rutledge, Grainger County, Tennessee.
Notes for Dorcas Carter:
[2905146.FTW]
Dorcas Carter was said to have been born around 1735. Manysources list her birthplace
as Albemarle County, Virginia, butAlbemarle County was not yet created in 1735. Its
predecessorcounty was Goochland.
Around 1740, the following Carter names appear in GoochlandCounty: Edward Carter;
John Carter (Goochland County Order Book4, 1735 - 1741) page 39 & 126. "Secretary
Carter" same source;Theodorick Carter, St. James Parish.
Although the Graves Family Organization asserts that DorcasCarter
was the daughter of John Carter, I have found nodocumentation to
substantiate this claim.
Children of John D. and Dorcas Carter are:
i. Meridith Coffey (Coffee), born Abt. 1772 in Albemarle County,
Virginia; died Bef. 18 Sep 1838 in Grainger County, Tennessee;
married Esther <Coffey> 1797 in Grainger County, Tennessee; born
Abt. 1782 in Virginia or Tennessee?; died Abt. 1840 in prob.
Grainger County, Tennessee.
Notes for Meridith Coffey (Coffee):
[2905146.FTW]
Meredith Coffey was born about 1760-70 (perhaps 1769)
inAlbemarle or Amherst County, Virginia and died in before
18September 1838, when his estate was administered in
GraingerCounty, Tennesee. He married Esther (or Hester), whose
lastname is unknown---about 1797. She was born about 1776 and
diedafter 1840. All their children -- except possibly John, thefirst

Notes for William Coppedge:
First Settlers, Phelps County, Missouri
>From "History of Laclede, Camden, Dallas, Webster, Wright, Texas,
Pulaski, Phelps and Dent Counties, Missouri" The Goodspeed Publishing
Company, 1889.
**********************************************************************
The earliest settlers of whom authentic information is had, outside of
hunters and Indians, are a few who arrived in 1818; these were James
Harrison, Adam Bradford, John York and Jack and John Ducan, with possibly a few
others. Mr. Harrison was an energetic and highly respected Virginian, who located at the
mouth of Little Piney, near Arlington's present site. His descendants are very numerous,
and are among the excellent citizens of several counties of this region; Polly, the widow
of John Robertson, of Laclede county, is the only survivor of his large family of fourteen
children. Mr. Harrison and his sons, especially
Robert and Thomas, were among the first officers of Pulaski and Phelps
counties. His home was a pioneer court house of old Crawford county,
the court meeting in his store-room, and the grand jury "considering
their presentments" out in the grove near by. When he first settled
there the nearest house was at Steelville, and the nearest court, probably at St. Louis.
County after county was created around him, so
that, it is said, his house had been in five different counties. In
his prime he was described as a large, fine looking man, with dark,
curling hair, and weighing about 260 pounds. The old place is now owned by Mr. Pillman.
Adam Bradford first settled on Little Piney, but soon removed to Spring Creek. He was
among the first to erect a mill. He was a noted marksman. The Ducans located on the
Gasconade, below Arlington site.
The caves of Phelps county figure as the next attraction to settlers. Saltpetre Cave, ten
miles northwest of Rolla, and Spring cave, near Relfe, are identified with early history.
Saltpetre Cave is the largest, and by a surveying party was said to have been explored for
five miles into subterranean depths; it was not its spacious entrance, with its beautiful
spring, nor its extensive compartments, pendant with sparkling stalactites seven feet long,
and pillared with stalagmites, among which winds a rippling stream, that brought the
sturdy settlers in 1823; it was an altogether more prosy thing, namely, the deposits of
saltpetre the cave contained.
For this William Coppedge, a powder manufacturer of Kentucky, came with his family of
four sons and two daughters, located near the site of Newburg. They engaged extensively
in powder making, and afterward undertook agriculture. His descendants are numerous,
and excellent citizens. His only living son, Lindsey, is an aged and now childish old man
of eighty-three years, residing at Relfe Post office, where he located in 1846. They had
with them a mortar and pestle, with which they made meal and flour for a time, until they
erected a little water mill on a branch of Little Piney, near Newburg. Lindsey Coppedge
was a carpenter, and cabinet maker also, and made the first flour bolting machine ever
used within the limits of Phelps county. He is now the oldest resident of the county.
Spring Creek Cave furnishes an interesting incident, of another kind and of a later date
(1850); it was a severe fright which befell a Sunday exploring party, composed of Delilah
and Kaziah Lawson and Aherd Maise. Evening came on, and as they did not return, their
friends began a vigorous search of the cave. The search continued until noon the next
day, when the party had grown to sixty persons, and the lost ones were found, almost
overcome with despair and fright. Their lights had gone out and left them lost. They
were found by John D. Bradford and others.
Among others who came about 1825 or 1826 were Humphrey Yowell, George Sally,
Isaac, Jack and Moses Brown, William Arthur, David Lenox and Jack Vest, who located
on Little Piney. David Lenox was a Baptist preacher of the Old School. Willis Bryant
and William Hawkins settled on the Gasconade, and Robert Wright "squatted" above
Arlington.
About this time it was that the Shawnee Indians proved to be an instrument of
civilization. They wandered over Illinois, Indiana and Ohio, and while camped in Adams
county, Ohio, they visited a large store at Brush Creek furnace, and traded with its
proprietor, Thomas James. Mr. James was of Welsh descent, born in Maryland about
four months after this country achieved independence. He grew to be a remarkably
sagacious man of large views, and in 1803, when quite a young man, went to Ohio and
established the above named furnace as the first one in the State, and the first forge in the
State he built in Ross county. With his usual keenness he learned of the where abouts of
iron from these Indians, and in 1825, securing one of them as a guide, he came to
Missouri, and soon decided on the Meramec banks, whereupon he returned to Ohio, and
with his old foreman, Samuel Massey, and a force of miners, came back, and on August
8, 1826, began the erection of the Meramec furnace and buildings, at a cost of over
$40,000. These were erected on Section 1, Township 37, Range 6, where with the
magnificent water power, the limestone for fluxing purposes, and the forests for charcoal,
a model situation was found for one of
the earliest and most famous of the mineral works in Missouri. The
first four months they employed from 100 to 200 hands, and all supplies
were hauled in wagons from St. Louis. At the end of ten months they
began business, and employed from 240 to 300 men; the iron was hauled to St. Louis,
and teams even came from Arkansas for iron bars, the annual output being about 300,000
tons. Besides the furnace Mr. James had a blacksmith shop and grist mill, but no saloon
was allowed. Meramec Iron Works postoffice was established, with Samuel Massey, as
the first postmaster. This became a prominent point for the whole south half of the state.
Mr. James superintended his vast business until
1844, when he owned 11,000 acres about the furnace. He then turned
over the management of it to his son William, and in 1856 his death
occurred. It was in his honor that the town of St. James was named.
His son William managed the furnace until 1878, when it was closed,
for reasons given elsewhere in this volume. The estate now belongs to
the Thomas James heirs. William James now is an old resident of St.
James. Many of the employees of these works became the farmer settlers of Phelps and
surrounding counties. In 1827 Hamilton Lenox settled on Elk Prairie, Wilson Lenox and
Robert and James Newburg found homes on Spring Creek, and Wright Light located near
the site of Rolla. In 1829 Anthony and George Kitchen located on Little Piney; Anthony
was the first tailor to settle in the county, and the young swains gave him considerable
work in cutting blue jeans. About the same time Moses Freeman and Joel Melton settled
on Beaver Creek. In 1830 Philip Hensley and Carter Hawkins located on Gasconade
River, and John Rhea on Little Piney; of Mr. Rhea's eight children, only one, Jane, the
widow of George Sally, is now living. Mr. Rhea's brother-in-law, William Leek, came
with him from Tennessee, and also Joseph Dodd, the father-in-law of Lindsey Coppedge,
who located on Mill Creek. James H. Wilson, Martin and John Miller and Washington
Brown arrived about the same time. In 1833 Solomon King found a home on Spring
Creek, and on Little Piney Isaac Wright located; he was the father of Lewis Wright,
whom, with his four sons, were the victims of a war tragedy in 1865.
About 1836 William Matthews located on the named Matthews prairie, and John Edgar's
name was attached to the well known spring and prairie of the same way about 1840.
Isaac and Lee Love were also early pioneers who have left numerous and sturdy
descendents.

Henson COPPEDGE, son of William and grandson of Moses
COPPEDGE, was
born in 1801 in Kentucky and moved to Missouri with the family
before
statehood. He was about2 years younger than his brother Lindsey
and
they worked together and often lived near each other. Records do
not
indicate that he followed in his father's footsteps in holding public
office, but it is known he was interested in community affairs. In
1823-24 wheen L. L. COPPEDGE had a store at the site of
Newburg, Henson
COPPEDGE built a "still" on Little Piney. He operated thisbusiness
for
a short time then moved it to Spring Creek near Relfe, MO. This
was the
first distillery in this section of the Ozarks. The pure whiskey sold
for 20 cents a quart, and it has been pointed out that it contained no
fighting ingredient.
At one time Henson owned a farm near Relfe, and old timers in the
area
still speak of the "Henson COPPEDGE Place". This farm had the
finest
spring in that part of the country. My oldest sister, who was 92
years
old this year (1981), distinctly remembers the farm and the spring.
Uncle Robert Cowan (Dr. Cowan) and wife Sarah "Sally"
COPPEDGE - daughter
of Lindsey L. COPPEDGE lived at this place before moving to
Edgar
Prairie. Dad moved his family there after his brother moved away,
and my
oldest brother and sister attended their first school from this place.
Henson married Nancy KITCHENS sometime between 1828 and
1831. As their
children became school age they had private tutors and later attended
the
local school with friends and family. He was a prosperous merchant
in
Pulaski Co., (later Phelps) for many yearsand lived to be 88 years
old.
He died in November 1888 - and his descendants are scattered over
the
United States, many of whom follow Henson's footsteps and are
prominent
in their community.

but strong evidence concerning land transactions indicate that Joseph FROST, one of the
first property owners in Amherst Co,VA., is the father of our Thomas FROST.
Revolutionary soldier, Joseph FROST states that he visited his brother in Bedford
Co,VA. Since the only FROSTs living in Bedford Co. during this time were brothers
Thomas & John, the supposition is that Joseph Jr. is a brother of Thomas & John.
Thomas signed documents with a distinctive combination of the letter "T" & "F" rather
than the normal "X" that iliterate individuals of the time would make. This distinctive
mark has been of great benefit in confirming his migration and holdings in various
documents in the archives. The FROST Clan were among the first to colonize
Washington Co,VA. In 1795, Thomas FROST became the first known permanent settler
of Anderson Co,TN. settling in Racoon Valley.
Children of Thomas Frost and Martha Neville are:
i. Joshua Frost, born 22 Dec 1782; died 30 Jul 1865; married (1) Anna
Chiles; born 15 Jun 1785; died 20 Mar 1853 in Anderson County,
Tennessee; married (2) Anna Chiles; born 15 Jun 1785; died 20 Mar
1853.

Joshua Frost
Joshua, son of Thomas Frost, was born in Lee County, VA,
December 22, 1782. His father moved to East Tennessee in 1796,
and "entering" a section of land, five miles south of Clinton, Built on
it "the first house" that was built in Anderson County. Here young
Frost was brought up to farm life, with few advantages of an
education.
He was married July 19, 1803, to Miss Annie Chiles. To this union
were born six children, five sons, and one daughter.
The date of his conversion and baptism was lost with the old records
of the Beaver Ridge (or Ball Camp) Church, Knox County, with
which he united. The record of March 1818, places Joshua Frost at
the head of a list of the "nineteen constituent members" of the
Raccoon Valley Arm (now Zion Church), which the mother church
agreed might be established. His church licensed him to preach
September 12, 1820, and by request of the above mentioned Arm he
was ordained, March 1822, Thomas Hudiburg and Obed Patty
constituting the presbytery.
The ministerial career of Brother Frost begins, therefore, with the
history of the Raccoon Valley Arm, in the beginning of 1818, this
new interest growing up around him. In 1819 an acre of land was
given by a Brother Norman, on which to build a house of worship.
In 1823 the Arm assumed the name of "Zion meeting-house," and
the year following became an independent body. The old meetinghouse, many of whose logs Brother Frost cut and hewed, is still
standing (1897), and close by is the old dwelling house built by his
father and inherited by the son, who lived in it till upwards of 80
years old, when he went on a visit to his children in Illinois.
Elder Frost was pastor of Zion Church about forty years. Of the old
mother church, Beaver Ridge, otherwise known as the "brick
chapel," he was pastor for a great number of years, baptizing into the
fellowship of the church, first and last, so the old brethren say, at
least "200 members." He was also pastor of Salem, Clinton, Mt.
Horeb, Bethel, Fairview, Union and other churches, in Roane,
Anderson and Knox counties, many of which he was chiefly
instrumental in founding.
"He was the prime factor in the organization of Mount Harmony,
Zion Hill, Blowing Spring, Pine Grove, and Third Creek churches."
(Azariah Harrell.)
He did a great deal of work in out-of-the-way and destitute places,
and while he had the misfortune to lose his record of converts,
baptisms, churches organized, etc., he was heard to say that he had
organized and built up, pretty much by his own efforts and the
Lord's help, "twenty-two churches."
From 1818 to 1863 Elder Frost, almost every year, was either a
delegate or a corresponding delegate to the Tennessee Association.
The minutes show that he preached five introductory sermons before
that body. He was for some years Moderator of the Northern
Association, and from 1853 to 1864 he was Moderator of the
Clinton.
Joshua Frost had an "impressive voice and manner that made him a
power in the pulpit. A wave of his hand made an impression." (B.
Demarcus.) His voice was not only powerful, but clear and
penetrating: be could be heard distinctly a great distance. It is said
that his wife at home, a full half mile from the church, could hear
him read or quote his text and line out his hymns, and tell him all
about his performance at church when he would get borne.
As a minister and as a man he was firm, fearless and out-spoken. He
never allowed an oath or sin of any kind, in his presence, to go
unrebuked. There was an air of gravity and sanctity about him that
caused all classes of people to reverence him. Was there a bunch of
youngsters, or of older people, engaged in frivolous conversation in
or about the church? The approach of Elder Frost was a signal for
silence or reverential behavior.
He is said to have had wonderful tact in introducing on all occasions
the subject of religion. He lived on the public highway and kept a
sort of public tavern or stopping place for stock-drivers, lawyers,
judges and other travelers, but he would rarely have a person in his
home an hour, it is said, or ride a mile with a stranger on the
highway, without finding out whether he was a Christian or not.
In his preaching he quoted freely from the Scriptures, proving all
things by the Word of God, giving chapter and verse. He was also a
good singer, and was gifted in exhortation. He was a thorough
believer in free salvation and missions, and had little sympathy with
the doctrine of predestination as held by many Baptists of his day.
Perhaps the greatest sermon of his life was at the Powell's Valley
Association, when that body was settling down into "fixed fate" and
anti-mission sentiments. The question was up as to who would
preach and some of the brethren were excusing themselves as not
being "prepared." Elder Frost said, "If ever I was prepared to preach
it is now"; and he commenced his sermon by saying, "They say he is
a respecter of persons. My Bible teaches most plainly that he is a
respecter of character, and willet not the death of any."
One of the notable characteristics of Elder Frost's ministry was the
conscientiousness with which he filled his preaching appointments.
It is said that in a ministry of nearly fifty years he never disappointed
more than one or two congregations.
He was also a great believer in prayer, and had a firm and abiding
faith that if God had called him to preach his everlasting gospel he
would take care of his family while he was doing it. At one time he
had an engagement to begin work in the destitute regions of
Kentucky. When the time came for him to leave borne to go to his
appointment, his youngest child was very sick. His companion hung
on his neck and wept sorely, beseeching him not to go. It was a sore
trial for him to leave home under the circumstances, but, kissing the
child and taking leave of his wife, he rode away with great heaviness
of heart. He had gone only a little way, however, when his burden of
anxiety had left him and he felt assured that his child would get well.
The child was better from that same hour, and soon recovered.
With all his seriousness and prevalent sobriety of manner, Elder
Frost had in him a vein of droll humor which sometimes cropped out
unexpectedly. Seeing a Baptist preacher, in time of the Civil War,
carrying a gun on his shoulder, he gave his preacher brother a mild
and good-natured rebuke by telling him, he "didn't like to see a
minister of the gospel carrying a gun, going about to kill people."
As already mentioned, Elder Frost had gone to see his children in
Illinois. He had finished his visit and had a desire to meet with the
Clinton Association once more, especially since the meeting was to
be with his home church, Zion. He was arranging for his return
home, and it was only a week to the set time for his homecoming,
when he was stricken with paralysis, which resulted in his death,
July 30, 1865. He died at the home of his youngest son, Paul C.
Frost, tenderly cared for. He wanted to return to his Tennessee
home, but by the Father's appointment he went to his better home on
high.

Notes for John D., Sr. Coffey:
[2905146.FTW]
John Coffee (Coffey) was born about 1704 in Essex County,Virginia. He died 30 March
1775 in St. Ann's Parish, AlbemarleCounty, Virginia. He and his family lived in St.
George'sParish, Spotsylvania County until 1747, when they moved toAlbemarle County.
His will was probated in Albemarle in March1775 and written one year earlier.
Notes for Jane (Jean) Graves:
[2905146.FTW]
There was -- for some time -- doubt about the pedigree of JaneGraves, wife of John
Coffey. After research by Coffeedescendants, the descent that is believed to be correct
is:Capt. Thomas Graves; Francis Graves, born about 1630 and diedcirca 1691; John
Graves, b. before 1678, died 1720 in Essex Co.,VA; and Jane Graves, born between
1701-05, m. John Coffey.
On page 140 of the 1980 Graves Family Newsletter is thestatement, "Some authorities
think Francis married an unknownfirst wife, leaving descendants living in Essex County
prior tohis marriage in 1678 to the widow Jane Maguffey." Since Franciswas about 48
years of age when he married Jane Maguffey, it iscertainly reasonable to think he had
been married before thatand had one or more children. In a letter to Kenneth V. Graveson
29 February 1984, Mrs. Sue Davis of Benton, Arkansas wrote:"John shouldn't be listed as
a child of Jane Maguffey. He was bya first wife." Sue Davis was a very thorough
researcher, and didmuch outstanding and reliable research on the Graves family.
Jane Graves was probably born about 1701-05. Her name was givenas Jean in her father's
will (?), but the names Jean and Janewere often used interchangeably. She married John
Coffey, son ofEdward Coffey (or Coffee) and Ann Powell, probably about 1728,in Essex
County, Virginia. Edward died testate in Essex Countyand a probate was opened 20
March 1716, naming sons John andEdward, both under age 16, son Austin (although
there is apossibility this is a daughter Austis or Austes), and daughtersMartha, Ann, and
Elizabeth. John died testate in 1775 inAlbemarle Co., Va., naming his wife as Jean.
(Incorrectinformation is shown in The Abridged Compendium of AmericanGenealogy,
vol. 3, p. 464.)
We known that John was born no earlier than 1700 in EssexCounty, Virginia since he
was under 16 when his father died.John and wife Jane Graves Coffey lived in
Spotsylvania Countyuntil 1747. Unfortunately, many of the Spotsylvania Countyrecords
were destroyed during the Civil War. In 1747, the familymoved to Albemarle County,
when John died in March 1775.
It has been believed by some that Jane and John had anotherdaughter, Martha Elizabeth
Coffey, who married John Cleveland.However, that is not correct. Elizabeth Coffey,
daughter ofEdward Coffey and sister of John Coffey, is the one who marriedJohn
Cleveland. This couple lived most of their lives at BlueRun, Orange Co., Va., and had
several famoussons, most notablyCol. Benjamin Cleveland of Revolutionary War fame.
Also, at least one source states that John Cleveland was born1701, died 1786, and
married Martha about 1720. These dateswould have made it impossible for Martha to be
a daughter ofJane and John. Mr. Coffey (R-522) has concluded (after
thoroughexamination of the evidence) that John Cleveland was born 31July 1714 in
Gloucester Co., Va., died in Nov. 1778 in Blue Run,Orange Co., Va., and married
Elizabeth Coffey on 20 April 1734.She was born about 1714 in Essex Co., Va.
The first 6 children listed below were born in Essex Co., Va.,Reuben was born in either
Essex of Spotsylvania Co., andBenjamin was born in Spotsylvania Co., Va.
Further information on Jane Graves and John Coffey and all theirknown descendants is
given in James Bluford Coffey, HisAncestors and Descendants in America, vol. II, by
Marvin D.Coffey, 1984. However, as an aid to people trying to connect tothis ancestor,
the next 4 generations after Jane and John Coffeyare given in this book also.

Thomas Foulke, of Penllyn, eldest son ofEdward the emigrant. He
lived with or near his father all hislife, and being the eldest son,
inherited, as was customary inthose days, the greater part of his
plantation, and after hismarriage built his house not far from his
fathers home, whichwas near the present railroad station of Pennlyn,
and which youall have no doubt seen this morning. On Thomas
Foulke's placewas standing a few years ago an old milk house
bearing thedateof 1728, and the initials T. and G. F. Thomas married
Gwen Evansof Radnor,Delaware county, who was the daughter of

-----------------Benjaminserved twice in the fight for independence fromEngland.
First while living in the area that is now BurkeCounty, North
Carolina, he did volunteer on April 1, 1776 andserved five months.
He was sent to the frontier, to scout and tohelp build Crider's Fort,
because of "mischief being done by theCherokee Indians." In 1984,
the site of Crider's Fort is LenoirHigh School in Caldwell County,
North Carolina. The second toserve was after the moved to Wilkes
County in 1780.
Benjamin Coffey's family then moved over to Wilkes County,
NorthCarolina. They may have been living there as early as
November2, 1779, Benjamin's name was marked through on a deed
that wasmade on that date. On March 9, 1870, there was a
landtransaction from Lawrence Ross to Benjamin Coffey. While
livingin Wilkes County in 1780, Benjamin volunteered again and
thistime he served seven months.
Benjamin was at the famous "Battle of Kings Mountain" on
October7, 1780, as were several of his kinfolk, among
them,brothers-in-law, Robert Whiteside and Mastin Durham and
nephews,Reuben, Ambrose and Ely Coffey. His colonel, Benjamin
Cleveland,was his cousin. Cleveland's parents were John Cleveland
andElizabeth Coffey. Elizabeth was the youngest daughter of
EdwardCoffey and Ann Powell.
Because Benjamin Coffey had lost his horse the evening beforethe
battle and had to join the foot soldiers, he did not do anyfighting in
the battle that took place on Kings Mountain. Thefighting was over
by the time the infantry reached the battlescene. Benjamin was sent
to guard the prisoners taken in theBattle ofKings Mountain on their
march to Moravian Town,"whereby, he developed pains inhis
ankles". He was furloughedhome for the duration of the war.
Benjamin Coffey and family lived in that part of Wilkes Countythat
is now Caldwell County, North Carolina for nearly thirtyyears. He
sold a one hundred acre tract of land on December 15,1808 for
$1,200.00 in Wilkes County, that tract of land wasconveyed to him
October 6, 1785. Benjamin also received a grantfrom the state of
North Carolina dated December 24, 1798 forland on the South Fork
of the Yadkin River called Miller'sCreek.
There were several land transactions for Benjamin in WilkesCounty.

office of clerk and later that of deacon. His will in 1807listed wife
Betty and the following children: James Crumpton,William Fields,
Reuben Fields, Betsy Penley, Winifred Humphrey,Polly Humphrey,

[NancyFrost.ged]
HISTORY OF
FROST OF ALABAMA
Early legends handed down by researchers of the FROST Family That finally Settled in
Alabama, indicates that they immigrated to Virginia from Wales. The first records that
we have uncovered which could be in our direct line was that of a John FROST who was
recorded on 25 October 1675 as living on his property near the head of Captain Hatton's
Creek, west branch of the Elizabeth River, Norfolk County, VA. There are earlier
records of Frost's in Virginia, but the name "John" was prevalent in our family for many
generations. Our first Frost ancestor that we can tie to directly is probably Joseph.
Although there has been much research accomplished to date, we are aware that one vital
bit of documentation is still missing, and that is a will or probate record for Joseph.
Hopefully future generations will have an interest in pursuing this research.
Joseph FROST (15-1) (Wife unknown)
Joseph was born about 1710, but the location is unknown as is the name of his wife. We
do know, however, that he was one of the earliest settlers in what was to become
Amhurst County in the vicinity of the headwaters of the James River, a few miles from
the present City of Lynchburg, Virginia. Joseph claimed land before 1753 on the west
side of the James on "Frost's Branch" which he no doubt named for his family. This area
was in Albemarle County until 1761 when it became Amhurst. It wasn't until 22 March
1763 that 170 acres on Frost's Branch was surveyed, and patent was finally issued 26 July
1765, about 13 years after he settled there. This record is found in the Virginia State
Archives at Richmond in Patent Book 26, P. 796. A patent for a second tract of 50 acres
was not issued until 29 Dec. 1788, 22 years after it was surveyed on 25 February 1765.
This is an example of how long a pioneer might have to wait for a title to land that he had
settled and claimed.
There was no records for the sale of Joseph's property, and neither has a will or probate
record surfaced that would shed light on his family. Joseph Jr., however, has an
established record for his service as a soldier during the American Revolution, and was
granted a pension, for which he applied late in life after his move to Cole County,
Illinois. In his application he stated that he was born in Amhurst Co., VA in 1753. The
fact that he used Jr. after his surname indicated that his father was also probably Joseph,
the same one who received his first patent in Amhurst when the younger Joseph was ten
years old. Research shows no other Frost's of record in this area at that time.
Joseph's two older sons, Thomas and John, bought a parcel of land across the river from
their Fathers' property from Charles Lynch on the east side of the James River, in
Bedford County. This transaction took place on 25 June, 1765. The brothers divided this
parcel, Thomas taking 60 acres, and John 300 acres. This property was located on both
sides of Burnt Bridge Creek, where they both lived until about 1776 when they moved to
Washington County, Virginia, in the year it was formed. On 7 March, 1776, they both
sold their land on Evy and Burnt Bridge Creek in Bedford County. Their Brother Simeon
appears to have preceded them to the North Fork of the Holston River, in 1769. Between
1771 and 1779, land records show that Joseph's sons Thomas, John, Joseph Jr., Simeon
and Samuel acquired fourteen parcels of land totaling 2027 Acres in area of the North
Fork of the Holston River. Henry Brooks who married Joseph Frost's daughter Rachel 23
March 1778 in Bedford County, where they were neighbors of the Frost family, moved
with his parents and family to the same area in Washington County, VA.
It was interesting for us to learn that John FROST was a Baptist Minister, and performed
the marriage of Anna BROOKS to Joseph FROST Jr. in 1786, and Lynch Brooks to Lucy
Hawkins in 1788. Anna and Lynch were sister and brother to Henry. John Frost built his
Baptist Church in Washington County in 1785, which was still standing according to our
last report.
NOTE: Much of our Frost family information comes from the research files of V. Vern
Hutchison, 1341 S.Osage, Bartlesville, OK 79003, and a book in our library titled
"Benjamin Frost, a Texan from Tennessee" by Ruth Hollar Rickaway, who descends
from Thomas. Their research shows that the Reverend John FROST married Samuel
Frost to Mary Dickenson 24 Sept. 1795; Edward Frost to Amilla Roberts 3 Oct. 1791;
Hannah FROST to Boyce Guttry 27 Jan. 1795, all in Washington Co., VA.
Children of Joseph Frost and (Mrs. are:
i. John Frost, born Unknown; died Unknown in Boonesboro,
Kentucky.
Notes for John Frost:
[NancyFrost.ged]
Source: Snyder E. Roberts research notes:
Rev. John Frost was licensed to preach in Washington Co. VA in
1780, and performed many marriages there. After moving to
Washington Co., TN, he erected the Frost Meeting House, and
represented that Church in the organizational meeting of the Holston
Baptist Association on the 4th Saturday in October, 1786, which was
the first Baptist Assoc. in present - TN. He followed his brother,
Thomas, Sr. to Anderson County and by 1797 the Frosts and others
had erected the Chestnut Ridge Baptist Church (on present-day
Edgemoor Road) which was the first associational baptist church in
present Anderson County. Records are not extant of Rev. John
performing any marriages in Anderson Co., but by 1810 he had
moved to Cumberland Co., KY.
Source: Morris & Glenda Painter
Family Legend: Two brothers John and Thomas came from Wales to
America in 1750 landing on Long Island. Since Thomas isn't
established yet, I'll save his stoty or later. John and Thomas migrated
down through Pennsylvania (where Thomas Got married) to
Virginia. The first Virginian records of him are in Amherst and
Bedford Counties in 1765. He was in Washington County in 1776.
He was one of the first four Baptist preachers licensed in Virginia.
He lived in Amherst, Bedt~rd and Washington Counties of Virginia.
He lived in that part of Washington County that became Lee County.
He lived in Washington, Knox, Anderson, and Roan Counties
ofTennessee. While in Virginia, John was veiny outspoken on the
need for missionaries on the frontier. This was at a time when the
newly formed Baptist Association would like to keep all the
preachers "home" and maintain a. low profile. He became somewhat
of a circuit rider and made trips into Tennessee to preach the gospel.
As I said this afternoon, his first church was on Cherokee Creek (I
don't know if a building was ever erected) but it was broken up by
an Indian uprising. John, Thomas, their entire families, and many of
their friends moved to Tennessee in 1794 or 95. Some time
between 1800 and 1810 the Frost Clan of Tennessee started to break
up. John moved to Boonesboro Kentucky to start his last Church
before he died. Thomas had died in 1804 and most of his family
moved further westward to stay on the Tennessee frontier. Most of
John's family, led by Edward Sr. and one son of Thomas's, moved
into the Alabama Territoiny (which at the time was pait of the Indian
territoiny of Georgia). They moved into what was later to become
Madison County.
Source: David Frost
The reasons we feel that the Frost have always had a close
relationship with the Indians (if some of us aren't actually part
Indian) starts with John's ministry and his desire for missionary
work. When John moved his family from Virginia to Tennessee, the
distance wasn't all that great, but he left the stable safety of a state to
start life on a frontier where the Indians wars had just stopped and
small flare ups still occurred. While In Tennessee we know that the
Frost homes were always close to an Indian village, and their given
names started to have a Indian "ring" to them. (We have Snowing,
White, Early, Icy and to many to list right now). It was around
1800 that the Cherokees started to move their capitol from
Tennessee to Georgia. The migration of the Frost to Western
Tennessee and Alabama seems to follow the migrations of the
Cherokee Indian.

He doesn't recollect when the service was except it was during the
time of the revolutionary war.
He was a Citizen of Amherst Co. at the time of the afore-mentioned
campaign but the military was not called out and the reason he
became engaged was he had received a "post" From one of his

him, he stayed with him and became engaged and stationed at
Richmond part of the time and part of the time at Rockets Landing,
about a mile inland.

continue the pursuit.

from Albemarle or Orange as a substitute for one John Smith in a
company, commanded by Capt. Cager (or Coger), Lt. Roberson, in
the year Cornwallis was captured at Yorktown (October 19, 1781).
He was marched from Augusta down to Yorktown where he
remained with his company till the surrender of Cornwallis. He then
marched from Yorktown to Winchester in charge of the prisoners
who had been captured by General Washington. After remaining at
Wincnester for some time, he was discharged after being in service
two more months. -

integrity.
Postscript to military statement:

Text: [[email protected]] Aug 1997 - Listing of descendents for Thomas
FROST (Sr., babt 1735 d-1807). Also states that his father's name has not been proven,
but strong evidence concerning land transactions indicate that Joseph FROST, one of the
first property owners in Amherst Co,VA., is the father of our Thomas FROST.
Revolutionary soldier, Joseph FROST states that he visited his brother in Bedford
Co,VA. Since the only FROSTs living in Bedford Co. during this time were brothers
Thomas & John, the supposition is that Joseph Jr. is a brother of Thomas & John.
Thomas signed documents with a distinctive combination of the letter "T" & "F" rather
than the normal "X" that iliterate individuals of the time would make. This distinctive
mark has been of great benefit in confirming his migration and holdings in various
documents in the archives. The FROST Clan were among the first to colonize
Washington Co,VA. In 1795, Thomas FROST became the first known permanent settler
of Anderson Co,TN. settling in Racoon Valley.

Notes for Thomas Powell:
[2905146.FTW]
Thomas Place was born about 1640 in Essex County, Virginia toWilliam Powell (c.1605
- 1695) and his wife Elizabeth. Hemarried Mary Place, daughter of Francis Place (c.
1615 - 1655)and Ann Williamson (c.1624 - ). Thomas is said by some sourcesto have
died in 1701 in Old Rappahannock County, Virginia a fewweeks after making his will in
which he described himself asvery weak and sick. He directed that his land be divided
equallybetween his sons Place and Thomas and his wife, with her part ather death to go
to their son William. Thomas's cattle was to goto son William and those who provided
education for Williamuntil he attained the age of 21. He also made bequests todaughters
Frances Powell, Elizabeth Salmon, Anne Coffee. Hissons Honorias and Place and son-inlaw John Salmon were namedexecutors.
In 1694, Thomas Powell and Mary Place Powell conveyed 100 acresof land to their son
Honorias. This land had been conveyed toMary Place Powell by her father, Francis Place
(along with somecattle) by deed of gift (Lancaster County Record Book 2, page104). She
was at the time under 18 years of age and the gift wascontingent upon her survival with
heirs.
Notes for Mary Place:
[2905146.FTW]
Mary Place was born in 1648 in Isle of Wight, Essex County,Virginia and died 15Dec
1710 in Richmond County, Virginia. On11 August 1655, her father Francis Place made a
grant to her of300 acres of land contingent upon her survival to age18, withthe land to go
to Mary's younger sister Margaret Place (youngestdaughter of Francis Place) if Mary
should die before attainingage eighteen. Francis Place signed the document with his
mark.It was witnessed by John Ware, Vin Stanford, and John Phillips.The deed was
recorded on10 November 1655. Lancaster CountyRecord Book No. 2, 1654-1666, Page
104 in original.
When Mary's husband Thomas died in 1701, he left her a share ofhis land and provided
for his children. Son William was still aminor at Thomas's death. In 1705, Mary Powell
petitioned thatthe maintenance of her son William be allowed out of herhusband's estate,
but the court refused this request as an"irregular process." A few months later she
brought suit againstthe executors, but the suit was dismissed and no details areknown. At
about this time, William died and the executors of hisfather's estate unsuccessfully
petitioned the court to have hisestate appraised.
Children of Thomas Powell and Mary Place are:

persons from having any manner of dealing with her and fromtaking
anoything of her or entertaining her without my consent.
Place Powell eventually left the county and everyone assumedthat he
was dead. In 1715 John Golding posted bond to administerthe estate
of Place Powell "deceased." (Virginia ColonialAbstracts, Volume 9,
page 18). In July 1716, he was replaced byAugustine Smith.
(Virginia Colonial Abstracts, Volume 9, page80). Inventory and

[2905146.FTW]
Francis Graves was still a minor and was described in 1642 asthe "orphan of Captain
Thomas Graves." Until 1672, that is thelast mention of Francis in county records. He
may have spentsome time in Gloucester County, Virginia before settling inEssex County.
He probably resided in Essex County beforepatenting land there.
On 10 October 1672, he patented 714 acres of land on the southside of the river, part on
the branch of Gilson's Creek and parton Hoskins Creek adjoining Mr. Beverley's corner.
He marriedJane Maguffey before 28 November 1678. She was likely a widowand her
maiden name is thought to have been Davenport. Francis'smarriage to Jane was also his
second. The name of his first wifeis unknown. At the time of his marriage to Jane, he
gave cattleto his step-children, John and Jane Maguffey, and ElizabethDavenport. (Old
Rappahannock Records, Deeds and Wills VI, page57.) The original deed is preserved
among the loose papers ofEssex County, Virginia and shows Francis Graves' signature.

Thomas Graves was born 1 April 1584 in Lamborne, Berkshire,England. He arrived in
Virginia in October 1608 aboard the ship"Mary and Margaret," with Captain Christopher
Newport's secondsupply to the struggling Jamestown community. It is likely thathe was
unmarried at the time and returned to England to marryhis wife Katherine about 1610. He
died shortly before 5 January1636 in Accomack (now Northampton County), Virginia.
Thomas was one of the original Adventurers or stockholders ofthe Virginia Company of
London. He was one of the very earlyPlanters who founded Jamestown. He is listed as
Thomas Grave onpage 364 of Records of the Virginia Company of London, (Vol. IV)and
said to be from Dublin, but this is likely in error, sincethe first Adventurers to Virginia
were required by charter ofthe Virginia Company of London to be residents of London.
The first settlement by the Virginia Company was made atJamestown. It was peopled by
knights, gentlemen, merchants andothers from London. On 13 May 1607, Captain
ChristopherNewport's fleet ofthree small ships reached the site with 105colonists in the
Susan Constant, the Godspeed, and theDiscovery. After discharging his passengers,
Captain Newportdeparted, returning to Jamestown on 8 January 1608 with thefirst supply
in theship "John and Francis." The "Phoenix,"commanded by Captain Francis Nelson,
which had accompanied the"John and Francis," arrived some three months later on 20
April1608. More than half the colonists had died during the firstwinter.
Captain Newport once again returned to England and ventured backto Jamestown in the
"Mary and Margaret" with the second supply.It was aboard this 150 ton ship that Thomas
Graves sailed. Hearrived in Jamestown after 10 September 1608.
In Captain John Smith's record of Graves' arrival in Virginia,he is listed as Thomas
Graves, Gentleman. He rapidly becameactive in the affairs of the nascent colony. One of
his venturesinvolved an exploratory expedition in which he was captured byIndians and
taken to Opechancanough. Thomas Savage, who arrivedin Virginia with the first supply
on the "John and Francis" in1608 was sent to rescuehim. Luckily for Graves'
descendants,Savage was successful in his mission.
Captain Thomas Graves was a member of the first LegislativeAssembly in America.He
represented Smythe's Hundred when theassembly met at Jamestown on 30 July 1619. He
removed to theeastern shore between August 1619 and February 16, 1623 when heis
shown living at the Eastern Shore in "A List of Names of TheLiving in Virginia,
February 16, 1623." His parent for 200 acresof land on the eastern shore was recorded 14
Mar 1628. (PatentBook No. 1, page 72, Land Registrar's Office, Richmond,Virginia).
This land was in Accomack, now Northampton County,Virginia. He paid 25 pounds to
the treasurer of the VirginiaCompany for the land, plus a "Quit rent" of one shilling
perfifty acres payable on the feast of St. Michael (September 29)each year.

Notes for Katherine <Crowshaw>:
[2905146.FTW]
Not much is known about Katherine. Her maiden name is not knownfor certain butmay
have been Croshaw. Her father may have beenJoseph Crowshaw (Croshaw or Crosher
sometimes listed). ARaleigh Chroshaw, Gentleman, arrived with Thomas Graves on
the"Mary and Margaret" in 1608. The "Mary and Margaret" was part ofthe Second
Supply, which brought food and provisions to thecolonists in Jamestown. Raleigh
Crowshaw was identified as 38year old "Captain Raleigh Croshaw, Esq. from
Crashaw,Lancashire, England." Through his early experiences inprotecting the young
colony against the natives, Crowshawachieved a reputation as a skilled Indian fighter,
and is listedas an adventurer in the Virginia Company in 1618 and 1620. Whenthe
massacre of 1622/3 occurred, Croshaw was on a trading cruiseon the Potomac and at
once challenged any of his men to fighthim naked but the offerwas not accepted. Raleigh
Croshaw waselected to the House of Burgess for Elizabeth City in 1624 anddied that
same year. According to Land Office Patents and Grantsin Virginia, Raleigh purchased
500acres of land, but no date orcounty location was given. Raleigh may have been
Katherine'sbrother, as he seems to havebeen about the same age.
It is not certain when Katherine and her children arrived inVirginia. They were not listed
amoung the residents in the 1625censusof the Eastern Shore, although Captain Thomas
Graves islisted. She is last mentioned in the Virginia records on 20 May1636, when she
was shown living at the Old Plantation, Accomac,Virginia.
(Old Plantation may have been the Jamestown area,
sinceWilliamsburg was referred to as "Middle Plantation").
Children of Thomas Graves and Katherine <Crowshaw> are:
i. John Graves, born Abt. 1607 in England; died Abt. Apr 1640 in
Elizabeth City County, Virginia; married UNKNOWN <Perrin>.
Notes for John Graves:
[2905146.FTW]
John Graves died intestate in Elizabeth City County, most
likelysometime in April 1640. He died between 29 May 1639, when
hepatented land, and 30 April 1640, when William Parry was
namedhis administrator and bond was made (Northampton Co.,
Book 2, p.281). Capt. Roper, William Cotton and Capt.
Stone,brothers-in-law of John Graves and administrators of the
estateof Capt. Thomas Graves, were originally appointed
administratorsof John Graves' estate, but in April 1640 they resigned
andWilliam Parry was appointed.
There appears to have been only oneJohn Graves in the
county.Because most of the early records were destroyed, very
littleinformation is available about him. However, some facts can
besurmisedfrom land records and patents.
On 9 Aug. 1637, John Graves patented 600 acres in Elizabeth
CityCounty near the upper end of the Back River, "due in right
ofdescent upon his father Thomas Graves who transported at his
owncosts himself, Katherine Graves, his wife, sons John Graves,
thepatentee, and Thomas Graves,Jr., and 8 persons, HenrySingleton,
Thomas Edge, Robert Phillips, Thomas Griggs, ThomasPhillips,
Francis White, William Symber, Jone Packett." Thispatent is proof
that Capt. Thomas Graves did not bring hisfamily until after 1616,
for had they come earlier they wouldall have been "Ancient
Planters" and entitled to 100 acres eachinstead of 50 acres. This
patent was near the lands of Capt.Adam Thoroughgood and east of
the dwelling of Ohner Van Kirk. In1638 and 1639 he received
additional patents.
The holdings of John Graves were near the York County line
andalmost directly opposite Hungar's Creek in Northampton
Co.(formerlyAccawmacke) on the Eastern Shore, where his father
hadlived and where his sisters were still living at that time.
The name of John Graves' wife is not known. Some believe thatshe
was a daughter of the Perrin family, who were large propertyowners
and prominent in Virginia history.
A John Grave is listed in the Full Context of Early
VirginiaImmigrants 1623. - 66 as resident in Henrice County in
1639.

Notes for Thomas Graves:
[2905146.FTW]
Thomas Graves likely was born about 1617, probably in

Thomas Graves patented 55 acres of land in Gloucester
County"about a mile beyond the head of Timberneck Creek,
beginning ata tree dividing this land & tract of Christopher Abbott."
Thealso patented 240 acres "in a swamp between the Severn and

issuedunder Cromwell were confirmed by the regal covernment.
ThomasGraves also patented land outside of Gloucester, including
300acres in Westmoreland County in March 1656/7. On 20
March1661/2, he obtained 700 acres in Lancaster on the head of
theeast branch of the Corotoman River from Governor
Moryson(Lancaster Record Book 2, page 236.] The land in
Lancasterappears to have been purchased as an investment, as he
latersold the land on 14 May 1662 to Mr. John Edwards,
chirurgeon(Lancaster Record Book 2, page 236], using the title
"Thos.Graves, Sr., of Timerneck Creek in the County of
Gloucester,planter."
He died about 1675 in Gloucester County, Virginia and left hisland
to his sons Thomas, Jeffrey and William. He settled inGloucester
County and acquired large tracts of land there, partof which was
granted in 1657. He patented 53 acres and later 240acres in
Gloucester Co., also 300 acres in Lancaster County,Virginia. He
wasknown as "Thomas Graves, Sr. of TimberneckCreek, Gloucester
Co., planter." Thename of his wife is notknown, although it is

AndrewCotton). Andrew Cotton was born about 1570 and Joane was
bornabout 1572. William Cotton was granted 350 acres of land on

England; died Bef. 29 Dec 1704 in Calvert, Prince Georges County,
Maryland; married (2) William Roper Abt. 1636; born Abt. 1615;
died Abt. 1650 in Northampton County, Virginia.
Notes for Katherine Graves:
[2905146.FTW]
Katherine (or Catherine) Graves was born about 1622. She
diedabout 1668 at Resurrection Manor, Calvert, Prince
George'sCounty, Maryland. She first married Lt.(later Capt.)
WilliamRoper about 1636. He was also a resident of
Accawmack(Northampton Co.) on Virginia's Eastern Shore, and a
burgessrepresenting that county. His plantation was on a small neck
ofland with a waterfront location. Here he carried on a
profitabletrade. He died about 1650 in Virginia.
After the death of her first husband, William Roper,
Katherinemarried another neighbor, Lieutenant Thomas Sprigg, son
ofThomas Sprigg and Katherine Griffin, on 3 March 1651.
Thomaswas born in 1630 in Kettering, Northamptonshire,
England.Shortly after their marriage, Katherine and Thomas Sprigg
movedto the new colony of Maryland, where Katherine's
sister'shusband, William Stone, had gone to be the colonial
governor.Thomas Sprigg's land certificate in Maryland shows that
hetransported himself, his wife Katherine, Verlinda Roper,Nathaniel
Sprigg, and several others. Verlinda Roper wasThomas's young
stepdaughter; Nathaniel Sprigg may havebeenKatherine and Thomas
Spriggs' infant son -- no other record ofhim has beenfound.
In Maryland, Katherine and her family settled first in KentCounty
and then across the bay in Calvert County.
It is likely that Sarah Sprigg was the daughter of Thomas Spriggand
Katherine Graves, rather than the daughter of Thomas and hissecond
wife. Thomas Sprigg, Jr. is shown as the son of Katherinein
Adventurers of Purse and Person, pages 190 -92. His date ofbirth is
not certain, but was probably around 1665. Katherinemay have died
soon after his birth, in which case he was raisedby his father and
step-mother, Eleanor Nuthall Sprigg.
Katherine was living in 1661 and with her husband executed adeed
of conveyance on 17 August for 600 acres of land in
WorrellHundred, Talbot County to Simon Carpenter (Provincial
Court,Liber B.B., folio 176).

Notes for Sir Alexander Colquhoun, XV & XVII of Luss:
[Calhoun.ged]
In Sir Alexander's time occurred the raid of Glenfinlas, and the bloody clan conflict of
Glenfruin, between theColquhouns and Macgregors, in December 1602 andFebruary
1603, regarding which the popular accounts are much at variance with the historical facts.
The Colquhouns had taken part in the execution of the letters of fire and sword issued by
the crown against the Macgregors some years before, and the feud between them had
been greatly aggravated by various acts of violence and aggression on both sides.
In 1602, the Macgregors made a regular raid on the laird of Luss's lands in Glenfinlas,
and carried off a number of sheep and cattle, as well as slew several of the tenants.
Alexander Colquhoun, who had before complained to the privy council against Earl of
Argyll for not repressing the clan Gregor, but who had failed in obtaining any redress,
now adopted a tragic method in order to excite the sympathy of the king. He appeared
before his majesty at Stirling, accompanied by a number of females, the relatives of those
who had been killed or wounded at Glenfinlas, each carrying the bloody shirt of her
killed or wounded relative, to implore his majesty to avenge the wrongs done them. The
ruse had the desired effect upon the king, who, from a sensitiveness of constitutional
temperament, which made him shudder even at thesight of blood, was extremely
susceptible to impressions from scenes of this description , and he immediately granted a
commission of lieutenancy to the laird of Luss, investing him the power to repress similar
crimes, and to apprehend the perpetrators.
"This commission granted to their enemy appears to have roused the lawless rage of the
Macgregors, who rose in strong force to defy the laird of Luss; and Glenfruin, with its
disasters and sanguinary defeat of the Colquhouns, and its ultimate terrible consequences
to the victorous clan themselves, was the result".
In the beginning of the year 1603, Allaster Macgregor of Glenstrae, followed by four
hundred men chiefly of his own clan, but including also some of the clans Cameron and
Anverich, armed with "halberschois, powaixes, twa-handit swordies, bowis and arrowis,
andwith hagbutia and pistoletis", advanced into the territory of Luss. Colquhoun, acting
under his royal commission, had raised a force which has been stated by some writers as
having amounted to 300 horse and 500 foot. This is probably an exaggeration, but even if
it is not, the disasters which befell them may be explained from the trap into which they
fell, and from the nature of the ground on which they encountered the enemy. This
divsted them of all the advantages which they might have derived from superiority of
numbers and from their horse.
On the 7th February 1603, the Macgregors were in Glenfruin "in two diviions", writes Mr
Fraser - "One of them at the head of the glen, and the other in ambuscade near the farm of
Strone, at a hollow or ravine called the Crate. The Colquhouns came into Glenfruin from
the Luss side, which is opposite Strone - probably byGlen Luss and Glen Mackurn.
Alexander Colquhoun pushed on his forces in order to get through the glen before
encountering the Macgregors; but, aware of his approach, Allaster Macgregor also
pushed forward one division of his forces and entered at the head of the glen in time to
prevent his enemy from emerging from the upper end of the glen, whilst his brother, John
Macgregor, with the division of his clan, which lay in ambuscade, by a detour, took the
rear of the Colquhouns, which prevented their retreat down the glen without fighting their
way through that section of the Macgregors who had got in their rear. The success of the
stratagem by which theColquhouns were thus placed between two fires seems to be the
only way of accounting for the terrible slaughter of the Colquhouns and the much less
loss of the Macgregors.
"The Colquhouns soon became unable to maintain their ground, and, falling into a moss
at the farm of Auchingaich,
