Harriett Catherine "Kate" Payne

Notes:

Could she have been listed as Harriett C Payne 2 F Mo on the 1850 census, born ca 1848?

On a transcript of the 1860 Shelby County census, there is a 3 year old Catherine J Pain listed, which means she would have been born ca. 1857. According to the 1880 census, she was age 28, which means she would have been born closer to 1852. This would make her only 10 years younger than her husband, not 15. Is is likely that the 1860 listing for Catherine was actually for younger sister, Caladonia.

Catherine and her husband, Tom Joyner, are the first of her family to move to Texas. They arrive in Hardeman County in the spring of 1879. In a biography of her brother-in-law, John O'Neill, she was referenced as "Harriett Katherine, who now lived in Idaho...widow of the late Thomas Joiner, a farmer..."

Harriett married G. Thomas Joiner on 17 Nov 1869 in Shelby County, Missouri. G. was born on 25 Aug 1841 in Shelby County, Missouri; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

1. H. E. Joiner was born about 1870 in Missouri; and died.
2. A. L. Joiner was born about 1874 in Missouri; and died.
3. M. Joiner was born about 1876 in Missouri; and died.
4. A. R. Joiner was born about 1877 in Missouri; and died.
5. B. Joiner was born about 1880 in Montague, Montague County, Texas; and died.

Notes:

Thomas Hamilton Payne was born 1819 in Kentucky. He was remembered by his family as a great hunter with gun and with hounds. He apparently moved to Missouri sometime before his marriage in 1843.

Charles R. Strong and his daughter, Mary Pat Strong, while at the Shelbina Library came across many years of the land tax records for Shelby County from 1836 - 1863. The following information was found on these tax rolls:

Year Owner Acres Section Township Range
Thomas H. Payne
80 16 59 9
80 16 59 9
40 17 59 9

This family was not listed on the 1860 Ledger of Shelby slave owners.

During the Civil War Thomas served in the Union Army. He enlisted with Captian C. Willmott in Shelbyville, Missouri on the 4th of April 1862. His unit in the Union Army was Capt. James W. Lampkin's Company H, 11th Regiment Cavalry, Missouri State Militia Volunteers. Thomas was made corporal. He was described as 6 ft. 2 in, with a light complexion, black hair and blue eyes. According to his service records, "It became evident soon after enlistment that diseases existed rendering the soldier unfit for duty." On June 1, he entered the hospital in Palmyra, Missouri to be treated. He was later moved to a hospital in Macon, Missouri. Thomas was discharged 7 July 1862. Surgeon C.C. Dickinson, who examined Thomas state that he was unfit for service "because of dyspepsia...existing long prior to enlistment. This man has suffered symptons of dypepsia for many years...and was unquestionably unfit for service when he enlisted." However, Thomas's immediate superior Sgt. Brown later testified that "Thomas H. Payne was, to the best of my knowledge, a sound able-bodied man....(and became) disabled in the line of duty by sleeping...in a dank room with open windows (during a period of almost constant rain), by reason of which he contracted asthma and typhoid pneumonia (as did many other soldiers quartered in this room)." This contradictory evidence caused Martha problems as she was trying to receive his service pension; and she had to provide lots of documents in order to eventually receive it.

In the book APRIL 1865, Jay Winik notes that "On one level, (Missouri) was the very embodiment of the Civil War itself: a conflict-ridden slave state that didn't secede, a state deeply divided in loyalties, a state with an ill-formed identity. On yet another level, as it descended into full-scale guerilla war, Missouri became a very different creature altogether, less a reflection of what the Civil War was and more a mirror for what the Civil War could become. It became a killing field. Missouri also produced the most bloodthirsty guerillas of the war. Topping the list was Willam Clarke Quantrill, a handsome, blue-eyed, twenty-four-year-old former Ohio schoolteacher. A close second was Bloody Bill Anderson, whose father was murdered by Unionists..among their disciples were young men destined for later notoriety: Frank and Jesse James, and Coleman Younger...In early 1862, Quantrill and his band of bushwhackers launched a series of strikes into Kansas...(This led to) thousands of Federal troopers and Kansas militiamen (to) quickly pursue the bushwhackers...thus escalated the vicious cycle of retaliation and revenge...The Union soldiers hunted the guerillas like animals. By 1864, the guerrilla war had reached new peaks of savagry. Robbing stagecoaches, harassing citizens, cutting telegraph wires were everyday occurences; but now it was no longer simply enough to ambush and gun down the enemy. They had to be mutilated and just as often scalped...In one massacre, a Quantrill chieftain calmly hopped from one body to another, plundering his prey. Altogether he stepped on 124 corpses. In another massacre, those who surrendered were clubbed to death...(Eventually) all order broke down. Groups of revenge-minded Federals, militia and even soldiers, became guerillas themselves, angrily stalking Missouri, tormenting, torturing and slaying Southern-sympathizers. Ruthless repriseals and random terror became the norm, and the entire state was dragged into an incomprehensible and accelerating whirlpool of vengence...the very fabric of all civil society was torn apart...civilians became not just anxious spectators but unwilling participants. In a war without fronts, boundaries, and formal organizations, the divisions between civilians and soldiers/partisans almost totally evaporated. As time wore on, ever-greater numbers of people fled--to Texas, Colorado, California, Idaho even Tennessee. By 1864, most rural Missourians had become refugees, inside or outside the state." (Winik, pps. 158-163).

The following deed was made 6 January 1876 between Thomas H and Martha J Payne his wife, Francis W Bosworth and Elizabeth H Bosworth his wife Wilbern Baldwin and Sarah H Baldwin his wife for and in consideration of one Dollar to be paid by Levi F. Payne of the county of Marion, Missouri sell real estate in Shelby County, Missouri to wit: the west half of the North East quarter of section 12 township 58 range 10 west containing 80 acres more or less. Recorded in the State of Kentucky, County of Jefferson (vol 2 C, P-138). [Apparently this had been recorded incorrectly at one time, because two deed corrections relating to this transaction immediately followed this deed].

In 1877 and 1878, Tom's health became much worse. He was advised by his family physician (Dr. Payne of Clarence, Shelby County, Missouri, whose biography* follows this) that his medical condition "was incurable and he advised him to go to Texas as the change in climate (the air being less humid) might help him." In Brooke Payne's book THE PAYNES OF VIRGINIA, he lists the following 10 children as accompanying Thomas and Martha Payne to Texas: Samuel, William H.H., Newton, Winfield Scott, Elizabeth, Catherine, Caroline, Berilla Jane, Thomas and Walter.

A published biography of William H.H. Payne has a slightly different list of children: Elizabeth, wife of John O'Neil, of Duncan; Kate, wife of Thomas Joyner, of Oklahoma; Samuel M., of Stephens county; William H., whose career has been sketched; Winfield, near Red Moon, Oklahoma; Levi N(ewton), of Wewoka, Oklahoma; Josephine, wife of L. F. McClannahan, of Duncan; Lula, wife of Allison Scott, of Duncan; Thomas B. ; and Walter W., of Duncan.

Note that Berilla Jane is on Brooke Payne's list (and also the LDS Ancestral Files), but not in the biography of William H.H. Payne, or on any of the census records viewed. This could be the wife of Levi F. Payne. Therefore, it is assumed she is on Brooke Payne's list in error. Also, the LDS files have a son Lee, not listed in any other record. It is also assumed this also was an error.

Tom and Martha's daughter Catherine Joyner had preceeded them to Texas. The other children all (without exception) moved to Texas as well. [Conversations with Lewis Adair Payne; National Archives as College Park; Thomas H. Payne Pension Application #36012-General Affidavit blank completed and signed by affiant G.T. Joyner of Chillcothe P.O., Hardeman Co, Texas on 16 February 1889].

A neigboring farmer in Hardeman County was L.F. McClanahan, whom they became "intimately acquainted with." Two of their sons were married to McClanahan's. Both L.F. and another neighbor noted that Thomas was not able to perform manual labor (more than a quarter of his time) and that he had a severe cough. [National Archives as College Park; Thomas H. Payne Pension Application #36012-General Affidavit blank completed and signed by affiants L.F. McClanahan and J.B. Loring, Hardeman Co, Texas on 5 April 1887]

At some point around 1880, Thomas and Martha appear to have moved east one hundred miles from Hardeman County to Montague County, and in 1880 itself, they are enumerated on the Cooke County, Texas census.

In 1883, Thomas made a claim to be placed on the Invalid Pension Roll of the United States. He stated he was greatly disabled, which prevented him from obtaining his subsistance by manual labor (farming) by reasons of contracting asthma while in service of the United States. Thomas signed the declaration in ink with some difficulty. He clearly was a man unused to the demands of a pen.

Thomas died on September 14, 1884. Dr. John Stinson, who attended him at the time of his last illness, stated that "He was suffering at the time...with what I thought to be asthmatic bronchitis. He was physically a wreck...He had all the symptoms of chronic bronchitis, and continually suffered from asthma, up to the time of his death, which occured from exhaustion."

After Tom's death, Martha pursued the claim for a Widow's Invalid Pension. Her attempt gives the impression of being a much more determined assault on the official bastions, although the ultimate outcome is unknown.

There is a photograph (120X170mm) of the elderly Thomas Hamilton Payne in the collection of Lewis Adair Payne. The original was presumably done circa. 1880 in Montague, Texas. Mary Olive Payne's daughter Dorothy has the original retouched photograph.



Biography of Thomas Payn'e Family Physician, Harry C. Payne (Relationship, if any, unknown)

PAYNE, Harry C, MD (1879 - 1938)

Dr. Harry Clancet Payne worked his way through college, graduating from Missouri University School of Medicine in 1903. He was the son of Bennett Allen Payne, MD, who graduated from Rush Medical College in Chicago in 1868, practiced medicine in Clarence, MO, served in the Union Army in the Civil War, was captured, contracted Tuberculosis while a prisoner and died when Harry was only nine years old.

Dr. Payne practiced medicine for a short time at Cherry Box and nearby Clarence, Mo. In 1904 he married Edna Kahlke of Rock Island, Illinois, and they moved to Paris where he practiced until shortly before his death from cancer.

In 1921 he made an overland trip to Denver, Colorado with Albert Sladeck. He had been told that X-rays of his lungs indicated TB, but those taken at Denver showed what were diagnosed as old scars.

A patient willed him a 13-room home and acreage with the stipulation that it be used as a hospital for at least two years. It was known as the Meyer Memorial Sanitarium in honor of the late parents of his benefactor, Mrs. Minnie Westphaling. After several years it was closed as Paris was not large enough to support a medical facility, and was only twenty five miles from well established hospitals.

He was joined by Dr. Joseph Flynt in 1921. Dr. Flynt practiced in Paris until his death and was aswell loved as Dr. Payne.

Dr. Payne's wife preceded him in death in 1937. They had three daughters - Helen Ford, Virginia Gibbs, Mary Grace Winburn.

Thomas married Martha Jane Marshall on 5 Aug 1843 in Clark County, Missouri. Martha (daughter of Samuel Marshall and Hannah S. Hicks) was born on 27 Mar 1826 in Hardinsburg, Breckinridge County, Kentucky; died on 27 Oct 1900 in Oklahoma; was buried in Marlow Cemetery, Marlow, Stephens County, Oklahoma. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

In THE PAYNES OF VIRGINIA by Brooke Payne, it is noted that she is the daughter of "Silas Marshall of Lagrange, Mo." This is not correct, Silas is actually her brother.

Following marriage in about 1844, the young couple were living next door to Martha's parents in Lewis Co., Missouri.

Fay Payne Yeager found the family on the 1850 census is Lewis County, Missouri.

Dorothy (known as Dotty Bob) Thompson has a Marshall family bible that may have information in it.

Her tombstone in Marlow Cemetery gives her date of birth as 27 Mar 1827; that is exactly one year after what family records show as her her actual birthdate. It is possible that the tombstone is incorrect.

She was 74 at the time of her death, and had been living with her youngest son, Walter and his wife Gertrude at the time of the 1900 census, taken a few months prior to her death.

Notes:

Married:
Thomas Hamilton Payne and Martha J(ane) Marshall were married by Rev. Minor Ford a Minister of the Gospel in Clark County, Missouri on 5 August 1843. Sarah Ann Payne (then aged 63 and wife of Judge John Loomis Smith) signed an affadavit in 1889 stating that having been personally acquanted with the two, she had been present at the marriage of her brother Thomas Payne to Martha Jane Marshall by the Rev. Ford in August of 1843. [Thomas H. Payne Pension Application #494585--Army of the United States Certificate of Disability]

Following the marriage, the young couple were farming and living next door to Martha's parents in Lewis County, Missouri.

Notes:

William's granddaughter said that he never spoke of his own father, but often of his step-father Grymes, a slave owner and cripple. (Payne, p 289)

The first record of William in Shelby County, Missouri can be found in the minutes of the March, 1838 term of the circuit court of Shelby County, William Payne was one of a number of people brought up on charges of gaming. This indulgence was in the form of amusement for dull days, but authorities looked upon it as a dangerous practice, also as a means of "stuffing" their pocketbooks and creating a little stir. Bryant Cockrum, George Gentry, William Payne, Isaac Wooley, Elijah Owens and Robert Joiner were all charged with "playing at loo"; Joseph Holeman and Abraham Vandiver, "for playing seven-up"; Elijah Owens, John Ralls, and Abraham Vandiver, "for playing three up"; Wesley Habbiburton and Joseph Holeman were indicted "for permitting gaming in their house." Three of the parties were convicted. George Gentry was fined $2; Isaac Wooley $1, and William Payne $5. The others were acquitted. (HISTORY OF SHELBY COUNTY, p 25).

The Shelby County 1840 Census shows Payne, William 0-0-1-0-2-0-0-1/0-0-1-2-0-0-0-1

Charles R. Strong and his daughter, Mary Pat Strong, while at the Shelbina Library came across many years of the land tax records for Shelby County from 1836 - 1863. The following information was found on these tax rolls:

Year Owner Acres Section Township Range 1841 William Payne 80 13 58 10 1844 William Payne 40 34 59 10 1852-1854 William Payne 80 13 58 10
40 18 58 9 1858 William Payne Sr. Same as Above

At the time of the 1850 census, 20 year old Edward WILSON and 16 year old Sarah WILSON were living with William and Sally, as was 13 year old Philo HOWELL. They were born, respectively, in Kentucky, Missouri, and Ohio. Relationship unknown. Philo Howell was still living with the family at the time of the 1860 census.

This family was not listed on the 1860 Ledger of Shelby slave owners.

William married Sarah "Sally" Hamilton on 17 Jan 1807 in Bourbon County, Kentucky. Sarah was born about 1790 in Kentucky; died after 1870. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

In the book THE PAYNES OF VIRGINIA, the author noted that "Mrs Payne had an unusual gift as a nurse and went about on horse-back rendering gratuitous service where needed in her neighbourhood." He said she was the daughter of Mrs. Mary (McKinzie) Hamilton, who consented to her marriage.

Listed with daughter Sarah Payne Baldwin on the 1870 Marion County, MO census, age 81.

Notes:

During a November 2002 research trip to Missouri and Kentucky, Charles Strong found in the Breckinridge County archives a booklet titled "Descendants of Thomas Marshall Bedford Co., Va. Plus Hix-Owen-Nicholson & Related Families" compiled by Ralph E. Marshall. Completed September, 1986" Charles copied numerous relevant pages from this booklet, the copies now in the files of Melinda McLemore Strong in San Antonio. This book states that Samuel Marshall was the next to youngest son of Thomas Marshall. It was speculated by the author that "Perhaps Samuel had demonstrated good business sense or was a favorite of his parents as Thomas appointed him the Executor of his Will in October 1819. William and Alexander were several years older than Samuel and lived in the same part the county but were not chosen for that responsibility. Samuel and Alexander must have been fairly close as brothers as they married the Hix sisters and then took their families to Breckinridge county, Kentucky.

Census and birth records indicated that the Samuel and Alexander Marshall families made the move to Kentucky after the 1820 census was taken but probably not later than the spring of 1821. Alexander is recorded as a grocer and shoemaker in his earliest years in Hardinsburg but there is less information on Samuel. The first record of a land transaction for Samuel shows him purschasing 141 1/4 acres of land for $330 from Littleton and Lucretia Martin of February 23, 1825. This farm was about 1 1/2 miles south of Hardinsburg and bordered on land purchased by Alexander in 1829. The 1830 census (below) lists Samuel and Alexander as neighbors and Samuel is shown with one slave. Charles made a xerox of the actual deed, which was in Book G, pages 143 and 144.

They are recorded there in the 1830 census [KY Microfilm No. 16, page 65]. The only other Marshall head of household is his brother, Alexander Marshall.

Samuel Marshall's listing on the 1830 census shows his household consists of one (1) free white male from between the ages of 5-10, and one (1) free white male between the ages of 30 and 40. There are also two (2) free white females under the age of 5, two (2) free white females between the ages of 5-10, and one (1) free white female between the age of 30 and 40.

Fourteen years later, in 1835, they migrated again, this time joining the great four year rush caused by the opening to pioneer settlement of the last Missouri Indian Lands. This great human movement, which ended in 1837, was not unlike the Californian gold rush of later years. This time the Marshalls settled in rural Lewis Co. from where they then moved to LaGrange at a later date, possibly in the 1870s.

A visit to the courthouse at Monticello in Lewis county revealed that Samuel was involved in many land transactions from 1835 to 1870. History books lists him as a settler in 1835 in Union Township 60, Range 6, so he probably farmed just west and perhaps a little south of LaGrange. (Ralph Marshall, p 27).

Census lists him as a retired farmer living in LaGrange with real estate valued at $5,000 in 1860 and $4,000 in 1870. Town of LaGrange currently has about 1,200 population and is located on the Mississippi River in southeast part of Lewis county. No examination has been made of all the recorded land transactions but Samuel and Hannah did sign a deed on March 23, 1867. Then the next record in July 1869 was for sale of land by another person acting as trustee for Samuel, an indication that he was no longer capable of handling his own affairs. Perhaps the last entry was in December 1870 where there was a Sheriff's sale of some lots Samuel owned in LaGrange. No will or probate is on record at the Monticello courthouse so perhaps there was little property left to be disposed of when Samuel and Hannah died. At this point, no cemetery record has been found to indicate when Samuel and Hannah died or where they are buried. It would seem logical that they were either buried in LaGrange or at Asbury Chapel where their son Winfield was laid to rest in 1871. The author walked over the LaGrange cemetery in June 1985 and found not Marshall stones but there were also areas where the markers were broken or had disappeared. (Ralph Marshall, p 27).

The following obituary was found by Mary Pat Strong and Charles R. Strong on an earlier research trip, in June 2002, at the LaGrange Public Library.

The LaGrange (Lewis County, Missouri) Democrat, Nov. 8, 1878.

The LaGrange (Lewis County, Missouri) Democrat, May 7, 1875

OBITUARY

MARSHALL-In this city after a short illness, on the 25th inst., Mrs. Hannah S. Marshall, wife of Samuel Marshall, aged 77 years 5 months and 18 days.

"And I heard a voice from Heaven saying unto me, write, 'Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth." Yea, saith the Lord, Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors."

Hannah S. Hicks was born in Campbell county, VA., December 7th, 1797. Was married to Samuel Marshall, March 26th, 1817; moved to Breckenridge county, Ky., in 1821; joined the Methodist Church in 1822; came to Lewis county, Mo., in 1835, and died April 25th, 1875, having lived with her now bereaved husband more than 58 years, and she was a member of the Methodist Church 53 years.

Such is the brief history of an eventful life of love and piety. She was loved by her neighbors. Her children grew up to call her blessed; h husband, also; and he praiseth her. Of course she dies well, leaving the blessed evidence behind that God was with her.

"What fullness of rapture is there,
While Jesus His glory displays?
And purples the heavenly air,
And scatters the odors of grace."

May God bind up the wounded hearts that are left behind, for our mother '"Sleeps in Jesus' blessed sleep, From which none ever wake to weep." BY J. J. POAGE.

The clan of Ulrike (German for Mistress of All) is not among the original "Seven Daughters of Eve" clans, but with just under 2% of Europeans among its members, it has a claim to being included among the numerically important clans. Ulrike lived about 18,000 years ago in the cold refuges of the Ukraine at the northern limits of human habitation. Though Ulrike's descendants are nowhere common, the clan is found today mainly in the east and north of Europe with particularly high concentrations in Scandinavia and the Baltic states.

In 1787 he was named as one of the executors of his father's will, and as co-guardian of his minor brothers and sisters. The LDS Ancestral files show he was also married to Helen Combs. This appears to be in error. It was actually his brother, Benjamin Payne, who married Helen.

George married Mary Coe in 1783 in Fairfax County, Virginia. Mary was born on 29 Aug 1765 in Fairfax County, Virginia; died in Dec 1820 in Bourbon County, Kentucky. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Daughter of William and Jane Coe. She was listed in her fathers will dated 1791/1793. Children were William, Edward, John, Presly, Priscilla (who married a Davis) and Mary. Mary married 2nd to Nicholas GRYMES 18 Jan 1803 Alexandria, VA. See page 261 "Paynes of VA"

Notes:

Ralph E. Marshall is the author of the book, DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS MARSHALL BEDFORD CO., VA PLUS HIX-OWEN-NICHOLSON & RELATED FAMILES (Self Published, September 1986), a copy of which can be found in the Breckinridge County Public Library, Hardinsburg, Kentucky 40143. The author describes how he and several other Marshall descendants hired a professional researcher, Thomas E. Marshall (not related) to research land deeds, marriage records and wills related to the Marshalls of Bedford County, Virginia. The researcher issued a nearly 50 page report in January, 1985, which provided the basis for additional research of the Thomas and Nancy Marshall family.

Ralph Marshall also cites a biographical sketch of Junius Marshall, published in 1887, noting that his grandfather, Thomas Marshall was "A native of Wales, settling in Maryland, where he lived several years, afterward moving to Bedford County, Va."

Ralph Marshall further cites the book EMIGRANTS FROM ENGLAND, 1773-1776, which shows two possible candidates:

Thomas Marshall, age 15, Laborer, Bristol, England to Philadelphia, March 14, 1774 (Bristol is directly across the channel from Cardiff, Wales)

William Marshall, age 50, Mariner, wife and 10 (unnamed) children, London to Maryland on the ship "Nancy," January 16, 1774 (The family could well have had a son named Thomas, and may have lived in Wales and later moved to, or simply departed from, London)

Ralph notes that Thomas Marshall lived in Maryland from about 1774 to 1790. There was a Thomas Marshall in Bedford County, who served in the Militia in 1781, but research has shown that this is another Thomas Marshall. There is no current evidence as to whether our Thomas Marshall served in the Revolution.

Ralph Marshall cites the earliest land record as being in 1803 when Thomas Marshall purchased 250 acres from Joseph Wilson. One of his neighbors was a Thomas Welch. In 1808, Thomas Marshall purchased 67 acres from Thomas Welch which was described as being on the head branches of South Fork of Little Otter River. Thomas and Nancy probably did not live on this property as they sold it three years later to Joseph and Eleanor (Marshall) Van Pelt. In 1804, Thomas and Nancy sold 125 acres to Martin Wells on waters of Little Otter River. (Ralph Marshall, p 17).

Thomas Marshall's will, dated October 1819, reads as follows:

I, Thomas Marshall, do hereby make my last will and testament in manner and form following, that is to say.

At a court held for Bedford County at the Courthouse the 25th day of October 1819, This Last Will and Testament of Thomas Marshal, dec'd. was exhibited in Court and proven by the oath of Benjamin Campbell and Christopher Preston, two subscribing witnesses, and ordered to be Recorded. And on the motion of Samuel Martin (Marshall), the executor therein named, who made oath and gave bond and security according to the law, Certificate is granted him for claiming a probate thereof in due form. (Will Book 5, page 120).

Two family trees posted on the RootsWeb's WorldConnect Project show a different ancestry for Thomas Marshall. They show him instead as a descendant of William MARSHALL Born: ABT 1650 in Lancashire, England Death: MAY 1686 in Cox's Choice, Calvert Co, Maryland and his wife Elizabeth COX b: ABT 1650. This is supposedly detailed in the book published by Friends of the Union Church "The Descendants of William Marshall (1650-1686) & Elizabeth Cox (1650-1717)." (One of the trees (mckinziemelanie) with this alternative lineage was submitted to WorldConnect by Melanie McKinzie (McKinzie@bluebon.net).

Thomas married Nancy Ann Oliver about 1777 in Maryland. Nancy was born about 1758 in Maryland; died on 26 May 1841 in Bedford County, Virginia. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Said to be the daughter of William and Martha Oliver (Draper/Marshall of Botetourt and Bedford Counties, Virginia).

Notes:

Married:
"Thomas was most likely born in the late 1750's and probably married in Maryland in the late 1770's. Son William appears to have been born by at least the early part of 1780. Nancy is named as wife of Thomas in his will and they are mentioned in an 1804 land transaction. However, no marriage record has been located yet for Thomas in either Maryland or Virginia to prove whether Nancy was the mother of all of his children. The fact that the first two known children of Thomas were named William and Nancy gives some credence to the idea that his father was named William and his wife was Nancy. Woodson Marshall (a grandson) state that the maiden name of Riley (his father's) mother was Oliver, and that his oldest sister, Harriet Oliver Marshall was named for her. It could be interpreted to mean that Riley's mother was actually named Harriet Oliver, in which case Thomas would have married Nancy after Riley's birth in 1797 but before 1804. Am inclined to think that Thomas only had one wife, and her name was Nancy Oliver.

Based on the bits of available information, would guess Nancy was born about 1759 and was at least 81 years old when she died in 1841. Although probably cared for most by the youngest daughter and son-in-law, Elizabeth and George Pollard, the 1840 census shows she COULD have been living with Nancy and Joseph Eubank. This Nancy was the daughter of William Marshall and probably the oldest grandchild of Thomas. If Nancy Marshall was living with the Eubank's then it woudl be another indication that she was the only wife of Thomas."

Notes:

Jesse Hicks came to Breckinridge as early as 1810 (sic--actually came between 1817 & 1820), and made a settlement near the present site of Clifton Mills on Sinking Creek, where he opened a blacksmith shop, being one of the first mechanics in that section of the county. He died about 1836(sic). (Ralph Marshall, p 48).

Jesse married Jane Ferrell. Jane was born before 1775; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Married:
Land deeds for Jesse and Jane Hix most frequently mention Stony Fork of Goose Creek and Jumping Run. The map shows Stony Creek north of Liberty but it runs into Big Otter Creek. The 554 acres Jane and Jesse sold in 1791 on Stony Fork undoubtedly had to do with her inheritance from William and Martha Ferrell. The will of William Ferrell in 1780 mentions 2,200 acres on Goose Creek, 548 acres on Bever Creek and land on Archer's Creek. (Ralph Marshall, p 17).
