Notes
for Frederick Major Paull Knott:
Frederick
Knott, Playwright, Dies at 86, December 20, 2002, By DOUGLAS MARTIN, New York
Times
Frederick
Knott, a notoriously unprolific playwright who scored big when he did write -
with his 1952 Broadway hit "Dial M for Murder" and later with the
1966 thriller "Wait Until Dark" - died on Tuesday in his Manhattan apartment. He was 86.
"He hated writing," his wife, Ann Hillary Knott, said. That is
perhaps understandable. The clever, complicated "Dial M for Murder"
was turned down by seven London
producers before being accepted as a television drama by the British Broadcasting
Corporation. Mrs. Knott said that he became so discouraged that he almost tore
up the script. Making matters worse, he
signed away the movie rights for a paltry £1,000 after the television
production. Though he wrote the screen version for Alfred Hitchcock in 1954, he
thus made far less money than he might have. When the picture was remade in
1998 as "A Perfect Murder," he received credit for writing the play,
but no payment, Mrs. Knott said. But he
made enough with just three plays to live comfortably and that was his sole
objective. "He wrote only for money," his wife said. "Dial M for Murder" was translated
into two dozen languages and is still performed by professional and amateurs
around the world. "Wait Until Dark" was a Broadway hit and then a
successful movie with Audrey Hepburn in 1967. He also wrote "Write Me a
Murder" in 1961.
Frederick
Major Paull Knott was born in in Hankow, China, on Aug. 28, 1916. His parents
were Quaker missionaries who sent him back to England for his education. He
graduated from Cambridge University in 1938 and served in the Royal Artillery
from 1939 to 1946. He then retreated to
a cottage next to his parents' home in Sussex to struggle with a play he had
already imagined. His inspiration was the bang of a gun going off, he said in
an interview with The New York Times in 1961. He imagined the bang in an old,
very oak-paneled English house that had seen better days. He worked for 18 months straight; he stayed
in his bathrobe and his mother left meals by the door. He emerged with
"Dial M for Murder." Then the
struggle really began. A succession of producers rejected the play, with one
calling it trivial. His wife
read
aloud a letter from the producer August MacLeod, who complimented the
"ingenious little plot," but said that "the play as a whole
would cause little interest." But
then the BBC offered to use it as a 90-minute television play early in 1952. It
got rave reviews. He sold the film rights to a London movie company headed by
Sir Alexander Korda. Then James
Sherwood, a stage producer with a lease on a London theater, had to cancel the
production of a play and asked to produce "Dial M for Murder." After
less than three weeks' rehearsal, it opened to critical acclaim. The excitement in the plot does not arise
from trying to solve a murder. The theatergoer knows who committed it and how
it was executed. Rather, the tension grows from the attempts of Scotland Yard
to break down the culprit's seemingly perfect alibi so that an innocent party
can be saved from execution. Maurice
Evans, the actor, saw the London production and offered to star in the show on
Broadway. That plan was almost scuttled by the film deal, according to The
Encyclopedia of Mystery and Detection. Sir Alexander had a clause barring any
future live productions until after the movie came out. That snag was worked
out, and "Dial M" began its run of 552 performances in October 1952
at the Plymouth Theater. In the next
five years, the play was produced in 30 countries. It is still a standard of
summer stock and school productions.
Mr. Knott then worked closely with Hitchcock on writing the screenplay,
though Mrs. Knott said that he was paid just his expenses. Sir Alexander had
received $175,000 from Paramount for the rights to the 1954 movie. His next play, "Write Me a
Murder," opened at the Belasco Theater in October 1961 and ran for 196
performances. His final play,
"Wait Until Dark," opened in February 1966 at the Barrymore Theater
and ran for 11 months on Broadway and two years in London. Its Broadway star,
Lee Remick, was nominated for a Tony Award as best actress. The movie rights were sold to Paramount
before the Broadway opening for what was then a record for such a deal. Mr. Knott again received nothing, his wife
said.
Along
with Mrs. Knott, Mr. Knott's survivors include a son, Dr. Anthony Frederick
Knott of Kayenta, Ariz., and two grandsons.

It
is not claimed here that Bell County ever produced an orator of the first rank,
but probably Russ Hill, formerly of Middlesborough, came nearer this rank than
any other man who ever lived or was reared in the county. Hill taught a Sunday
School in Middlesborough for years to overflowing crowds. He is now in demand,
on a national scale, as an orator.

(After the death of her husband about August 1853) "My mother then
came to Minersville; from there to St. Clair; from there to East Delaware or
East Norwegian. This last place
mentioned is the first place that I can remember in my childhood days. It was there in a very old frame house, with
leaky roof and cheerless surroundings, that mother died. Two years ago, I visited the old house,
still there, but almost ready to fall down.
Part of it had been removed and I was told it would all be torn down
soon. My mother must have had a very
hard time, with two small children to take care of. The years 1857-58 were desperate in the coal fields. Just on the verge of civil war between the
North and South." From
"Seventy Years in the Coal Mines", by Philip Francis, page 14.
She probably died during the winter of 1860-1861

these may have been census transcription errors. Lizzie PATTEN & Caroline & Robert DOLBIN were nieces and

His
Pennsylvania death certificate shows his parents as born in Wales; however, the
1880 census shows them born in Scotland.
Other censuses show them born in Ireland. His second wife, Margaret (Francis) GILGOUR, was the informant on
the death certificate, and his parents were both dead before their marriage, so
she probably did not know and simply guessed, as George's first wife was shown
as born in Wales in censuses.
GEORGE
GILGOUR was born in Philadelphia, October 20th, 1843, and married Mary A.
Groem, of this county, April 9th, 1866. Since 1873 he has been inside foreman
of the Elmwood colliery, Mahanoy City. In 1879 he won the $150 offered by the
Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron Company to the foreman whose reports and
workings showed the best management during the year.

MEYRICK 09 Jan 1875 in Mahanoy City, Schuylkill Co, PA, at the home of Rev. W.
D. Thomas, Pastor of the Welsh Baptist Church.
10. Richard MEYRICK, born Bet. 1821 - 1824 in Wales; died 07 Dec 1893
in Jellico, Campbell Co, TN. He married
11. Margaret WILLIAMS Abt. 1852 probably Schuylkill Co, PA.
11. Margaret WILLIAMS, born 23 Mar 1835 in Wales (not Monmouthshire);
died 19 Jul 1871 in Mahanoy City, Schuylkill Co, PA. She was the daughter of 22. Evan WILLIAMS and 23. Mary THOMAS.
Notes for Richard MEYRICK:
Called "Dakie" by his grandchildren, which is a variation of
the Welsh expression, Tad Cu (pronounced Tad kee), meaning grandfather. He was said to have been an "1849
California miner", which suggests that he took part in the California Gold
Rush that began in 1848. Margaret
(Francis) WILLIAMS told her grandson, John Philip WILLIAMS, Jr., that Richard returned
from California with a large amount of gold.
He suffered with "coal miner's asthma" for the last 15-20
years of his life and for that reason supposedly slept on a self-prepared
mattress of washed corn shucks. Richard
moved from PA to the KY/TN area at some point after the 1880 census. He must have lived at least part of the time
with Philip & Annie, as Mary (Francis) VAN HUSS related stories about his
living with them to her son, John Philip VAN HUSS. Richard's family Bible record shows that he died 7 December 1893
in Jellico, TN, at age 71. I do not
know if he moved to KY with Annie and children when they joined Philip ca.
1883, or if he came later.
1850 Census - could possibly be the Richard MYLOCK, 30, miner, born
Wales, who is a boarder in the home of Edward and Margaret ROBERTS in Mauch Chunk,
Carbon County, PA, which is adjacent to Schuylkill County. There is no Richard MEYRICK in the
census. There are several Richard
MYRICK names but none born outside the USA.
There were no MYLOCK names in Wales in 1841. There were no MYLOCK names in the 1860 US census, so this was
probably an enumerator spelling error.

Notes for Margaret WILLIAMS:
There is an unexplained 8-year gap between the births of her children,
Thomas MEYRICK in 1857 and Kate MEYRICK in 1865. Richard was enumerated in the household in the 1860 census and
presumably not out of the household during this period of time. It is possible that Margaret suffered a
series of spontaneous abortions or had a chronic illness, as she died at a very
early age. The period of 1860-1870 was
probably very difficult for Margaret.
In addition to the hardships of the Civil War, she probably endured the
deaths of both of her parents, perhaps some of her siblings, and her last two
children, Kate and John.
Marriage Notes for Richard MEYRICK and Margaret WILLIAMS:
There was no marriage record in Wales for a Richard MEYRICK to a
Margaret WILLIAMS in a Free BMD search 19 Jan 2005 . If Richard MEYRICK was the same person as Richd MYLOCK, age 30,
boarder, in the 1850 census for Mauch Chunk, Carbon County, PA, then he
probably married Margaret WILLIAMS in Schuylkill County, PA, ca. 1852. It is unlikely that any record of this
marriage exists. The only Margaret
WILLIAMS of the right age in Schuylkill County, PA, was the daughter of Evan
and Mary WILLIAMS. In the 1860 census,
the Richard and Margaret(Williams) MEYRICK family is enumerated on the same
census page in Tuscarora, PA, as the Evan and Mary WILLIAMS family, so it is
reasonable to assume that this is the correct Margaret WILLIAMS.
Children of Richard MEYRICK and Margaret WILLIAMS are:
5 i. Annie MEYRICK, born 15 Apr 1853 in Mahanoy
City, Schuylkill Co, PA; died 05 Sep 1933 in Knoxville, Knox Co, TN; married
Philip FRANCIS 09 Jan 1875 in Mahanoy City, Schuylkill Co, PA, at the home of
Rev. W. D. Thomas, Pastor of the Welsh Baptist Church. The only witnesses were the minister and his
wife..

Notes for Judge Jonathan Kelly BAILEY:
"Jonathan K. BAILEY and
his wife Louisa JONES BAILEY had their home and store near the present
Gilly-Hoskins Furniture store (in Mt. Pleasant)." Another entry "had a store about where
the Court Cafe is now".
"There was an epidemic
of typhoid fever in 1890 and Jonathan K. BAILEY lost three sons within three
months: M. Green BAILEY died October 2,
1890; W. R. BAILEY died October 13, 1890, and A. J. BAILEY died December 21,
1890. M. Green BAILEY was married to
Florence HURST and he left her a young widow with two little girls. They had another son Granville Pearl BAILEY
who became a physician and at this time he was 25 years old, but I do not know
if he was practicing at this time. They
had two daughters. Sallie who married
Tyrus HOWARD, son of Robert and they had moved to Wasioto; Sudie who married
Attorney Green EVERSOLE, son of Rolan who married Lucinda, daughter of Will and
Elizabeth Cornett CAMPBELL." From
"A History of Harlan County"
Jonathan K. Bailey, Granville's father, was born about 1838. He
practiced law for many years in Harlan. Jonathan's wife Louisa was the daughter
of Mastin Green Jones, one of Harlan and Pineville's early merchants. Jonathan
was the son of Andrew J. and Anna Kelly Bailey. (A LOOK AT 1896 BUSINESS,

MRS.
EVERSOLE DIES MONDAY
Mrs.
G. A. Eversole , 48 years old, succumbed at her home on Main Street Monday
evening at 7:30, after being stricken with a paralysis on Thursday, Feb 5. Mrs. Eversole was a very prominent woman in
Harlan County and she leaves many friends to mourn her death. She is the wife of G. A. Eversole, and
mother of Virgil Eversole, both being prominent in the business circles of
Harlan County. She was a sister of Dr.
J. (actually G.) P. Bailey, and the daughter of J. K. Bailey, deceased, and
Mrs. Louise Bailey, also deceased. She
had 3 brothers who had preceded her to the great beyond many years ago.
(Interesting that there was no mention of her older sister, Sallie)

Green
A. Eversole was born about 1853, son of Rolen and Lucy Campbell Eversole. Green
was an attorney, specializing in civil law and land title work and was also a

Notes for William Martin "Will" BALL:
William Martin BALL married for the 2nd time in Pella, Wise County, TX,
on 18 May 1876. About 1885, the family
moved to Memphis, TX, and bought a farm there.
In June 1900, they sold the farm and moved to the newly opened Oklahoma
Territory. They acquired a farm in the
small community of Rainy, Oklahoma (now long gone). Rainy was located 6 miles east of the town of Rocky (which is 9
miles north of Hobart). When the town
of Hobart was established (August 1901), they moved to a farm abutting the east
edge of town, where they lived until their deaths. The farm is still owned by a descendant. William Martin BALL was one of the founders
of the town of Hobart. His name appears
on the cornerstone of the original City Hall, where he is listed as a
Councilman. (Information from letter
written 7 Aug 2005 by grandson, William J. "Bill" BALL.)

Ca. 1863 - "My grandfather's name was Richard FRANCIS. He lived on a farm by the name of Evalt Farm
near Caerphilly, Glamorgan, South Wales.
I have never visited Wales and cannot give a description of the farms,
but when I was about ten years of age, I received a letter from him stating that
he would like for me and my sister, Margaret, who was then about 12 years old,
to come to Wales and live with him; to take care of the horses and to do other
work that was necessary on the farm. I
did not know where my sister was as she had been separated from me years
before. He also stated in his letter
that I was the nearest heir to the property.
Having no one to advise me, as my parents were dead, I stayed in
Pennsylvania." From "Seventy

Notes for James HARRY:
BAPTISM/CHRISTENING
SURNAME FORENAME FATHER OCCUPATION MOTHER DATE YEAR ADDRESS AGE TYPE PARISH
HARRY JAMES WILLIAM - MARY 01APR 1787 - - - LLANTWIT
MAJOR
There are two baptisms recorded in Merthyr Tydfil for John and Mary,
children of a James and Elizabeth HARRIES on 17 February 1822. James is
described as a "Navigator" -
a term used for labourers working on the Glamorganshire Canal which was
under construction around that time. If this is the same couple as the James and
Elizabeth HARRY, parents of Rebecca and her sisters, of St.Athan, this could
account for the apparent long gap following the marriage in 1819, and also
explain why Rebecca said she was born in Merthyr Tydfil in the census. Once
work on the canal had ended, James could have gone back to St.Athan as a farm
labourer. But there is no way that I can see of establishing if they are the

According
to his greatgrandson, Ben James, he added the middle initial "R" in
adult life. This may have been a
tribute to his father, Robert, or to his younger brother, Robert, who died at a
young age. Two of William's sons also
added an "R" as a middle initial for the same reason.

1841 Census for Blaina, Aberystruth, Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, Wales -
possibly the family of Evan 35, collier, Mary 30, Harriet 10, Margaret 6,
Thomas 4, Mary 2. If this is the
correct family, Harriet and Anna would be the same person and Mary 2, would
have died before the 1850 census. Evan
& Harriet were born in Monmouthshire, but his wife, Mary, and other chidlren
including Margaret were not. The ages
for Evan, Mary, Anna/Harriet, Margaret, and Thomas suggest this is the correct
family.

Eliza Kelly all my household and kitchen furniture with my family Bible or any
other books which she may wish to keep and all her manufactured yarns to keep
belonging to her house also all her poultry and a sufficiency of animal food
for her family for one year and one mare and colt, two cows and calves. After my just debts and funeral expenses are

I give to Daniel Setzer and his wife
the tract of land on which he lives, also the tract of land across the branch
embracing the Depew farm also the Sick Lick branch and Snake Den Fork which
they are to hold and occupy their lifetime and then it shall belong to their
heirs which I rate to them at six hundred dollars.
I give to Josiah Wynn and Elkanah
Wynn and their wives one third of one undivided tract of land which one third
has heretofore been deeded to said Wynns by William Kelly of three thousand
five hundred and fifty acres which I rate to them at four hundred dollars. I order and direct that my executors shall
sell my home tracts of land to the highest bidder unless in their judgment they
think they can make a safe private contract also all the personal property and
farming utensils, also the slaves to be sold on such credit as my executors may
think proper and after the full payment of all my debts the balance of my
estate shall be equally divided as the law directs between my wife and children

shall receive six hundred and Daniel M. Setzer and his wife shall receive no
more until the rest gets six hundred dollars.
Josiah Wynn and Elkanah Wynn are to share equally with the least after
the rest receive two hundred dollars.
Two hundred dollars are to be deducted from Alexander Kelly's heirs for
money advanced to him.
I last appoint William B. Kelly and
John Kelly and Jonathan K. Bailey my executors of this my last Will and
Testament--signed, sealed, and acknowledged in the present of these witnesses
this 3rd day of January, 1861.

In the 1810 Census, there were two John Jones families. The John Jones who probably married Sarah
Risner lived on Puckett's Creek, and the John Jones who probably married Sarah
Noe lived on Martins Fork.
The John Jones on Puckett's Creek lived next door to Michael
Risner. A Michael Risner died in this
area in 1805, probably the father of Sarah Risner. John Jones of Pucketts Creek appears to be the John Jones married
to the daughter of Michael Risner, and who is listed among the heirs of Michael
Risner ( who died about 1805) in the 1814 deed execution in VA.
John Jones living on Martins Fork next to Edmund Jones ( who is thought
to be a possible brother of Stephen Jones).
The fourth listing from John Jones is John Noe (father of Sarah Noe). The listing after John Noe is George
Brittain who sold 533 1/3 acres to John Jones on April 24, 1820 "being
where said J. Jones now lives."
This land was on Martins Fork near the mouth of Catrons Creek. On the same date in 1820 George Brittain
sold 533 1/3 acres to Gabriel Jones.
Both properties were part of an original 1600 acre survey. John's
children are listed in a Harlan Circuit Court case regarding the disposal of
land left in his estate. The land
referred to is that which John purchased 24 April 1820 from George Brittain
[Harlan County Deed Book A, page3].
John Jones' sons, Speed and Mastin Green, were heirs of Luke Noe in 1890
Harlan County deeds. Luke Noe was the
brother of Sarah Noe.

Marriage Notes for John JONES and Sarah NOE:
Gabriel Jones, brother of John Jones of Martins Fork, was married to
Mary Noe who was a sister of Sarah Noe and daughter of John Noe. It was not unusual for brothers to marry
sisters and locate in the same area.
John and Gabriel each bought 533 1/3 acre portions of the same 1600 acre
survey from George Brittain on the same date in 1820. This further strengthens the view that John Jones of Martins Fork
was indeed married to Sarah Noe.
Children of John JONES and Sarah NOE are:

Notes
for Edmund Jones:
Capt.
Edmund Jones formed a Company, mainly comprised of men from Laurel Co.,
Kentucky, in Oct., 1861. This Company was officially mustered into the Kentucky
24th Infantry Regiment as Company H, in Dec.,1861. This regiment was involved
in the Civil War battle which took place at Pittsburgh Landing, Tennessee,
better known as Shiloh. A couple weeks after the battle, Edmund being very ill, was placed onthe Steamship "D. A.
January," on April 29, 1862. Edmund was accompanied by William Champlin,
Orderly for Co. H., who was also ill. On April 30th, Champlin was ordered off
the D A January and was placed on another steamboat. Mr. Champlin later reported that Capt. Jones was gravely ill when
he left him and he did not believe Capt. Jones could possibly live more than 24
hours. He further stated Capt. Jones had his trunk with him containing military
clothing, a sword, sash and pistol.

FAMILY
OF JAMES BALL, SR.
James S. BALL, Sr., was born
1791 in Virginia; his wife Susannah "Anne" POSEY was a native of
Georgia, b. 1795. Mr. & Mrs. BALL
are both buried at Ball Knob Cemetery, Wise Co, Texas. James died in 1867 at age 78; his wife is
buried beside him with only her name, S. BALL inscribed on her marker, she died
1851-1859.
The BALL home, like those of
all pioneers in the early 1800s was made of the trunks of trees from 20-30 feet
in length, about 5 feet in diameter, placed upon one another, kept up by
notches cut at their extremities. The
roof was made of pieces of similar length to those that composed the body of
the house, but not quite so thick, and they gradually sloped on each side. Two doors which also served as windows were
made by sawing away a part of the trunks that formed the body of the house.
The back of the chimney was
made of clay; it was about 6" thick, and it separated the fire from the
wooden walls. The space between these
trunks was filled up with clay, but so very carelessly that light could be seen
through in every part. Hence, like all
pioneer cabins, the BALL's home was very cold in winter despite the large
amounts of wood which they burned. Thus
the cabin had to be chinked with new clay thoroughly every 2-3 years and the
walls were patched every year before winter.
The doors of their cabin
moved upon wooden hinges and they had no locks. Instead, they just pushed them to or fastened them with wooden
pegs. The cabin had a clay floor. First, the clay was wet with water and then
it was ironed with heavy flat irons.
This process took 2-3 days and when finished the clay was hard and slick
like a real wooden floor.
According to the present
records of the General Land Office in Austin, James S. BALL, Sr., settled in
Wise Co, Texas no later than April, 1852.
Under the land act of Feb. 13, 1854, Mr. BALL received 320 acres in Wise
County, Texas. The title to this land
was recorded in Decatur in 1863; however, the record was destroyed when the
courthouse burned in the 1870's.
In the 1860's Mr. BALL and 3
sons, James S., Jr., Carlisle and Moses P. were living in Wise County,
Texas. James Jr. was born Sept. 13,
1820 in Kentucky; his wife, Nancy, was also a native of Kentucky. James and Nancy were married in Kentucky
about 1844-1845. Their first 4
children, Lemuel M. (born 1846), Ester N. (born 1847), Eleanor A. (born 1850), and Elizabeth (born
1852) were all born in Kentucky. James
brought his family to Wise County, Texas 1853-1854. His last 3 children, George W. (born 1855), William (born 1858,
also called "Willie"), and Benjamin (born 1861) were born there.
In 1880 G. W. BALL was a
stock raiser in Wise County, Texas. He
married about 1877. His wife Mary E.
was born 1856 in Tennessee; her father was from Kentucky and her mother was from
Tennessee. George and Mary BALL had a
son, Washington, born in Texas in 1878; a daughter, Ida, was born a year later.
Carlisle B. BALL was born in
Kentucky. His wife, Margaret, was born
1840 in Kentucky. They came to Texas in
1858. Their first child, Amanda J. was
born in 1859. In 1870 Carlisle and his
family were living in Fannin County, Texas, by 1870, 4 other children had been
born ---- James (born 1860), Thomas (born 1863), William (born 1866), and a daughter
(born 1869).
On Feb. 1890, James S. BALL,
Jr. and wife Nancy deeded 2 acres of their land to Audubon Community as a
burial ground; this land was part of the J. S. BALL, Sr. survey of 160
acres. The cemetery was named Ball Knob
since it originally had been used by James S. BALL, Sr., and family as a burial
place for friends and relatives. J. S.
BALL, Jr. died Aug. 11, 1892, he and his wife are both buried at Ball
Knob. Other known members of the family
buried there are S. BALL, T. J. BALL, and Martha D. BALL, born Dec. 31, 1832;
died April 16, 1908. The name of Mary
NIX appears on the same marker with Martha D. BALL. Mary was born July 30, 1810 and died March 26, 1898, she was
Martha D. BALL's mother.

Notes

Allen
SERGENT is the purchaser from the other heirs in the deeds, but so far, nothing
has been found that definitively naming him as an heir or son of Ephraim. Neither is there any evidence saying he is
not but the possibility that he is a son of James exists.

Notes for John SKIDMORE:
JOHN SKIDMORE OF HARLAN COUNTY, KENTUCKY http://edge.net/~skid/harlan.htm
John Skidmore of Harlan County,
Kentucky, by William F. Skidmore and Holly Fee. Printed by William F. Skidmore
in 1987, 105 pages fully indexed (out of print). John Skidmore was a member of the
Rickmansworth family and his family is included on the Skidmore Genealogy CD.
This book will not be reprinted in hard copy.
John Skidmore was born in 1792 in Lee County, Virginia, a son of Henry
and Susannah (Blakemore) Skidmore. He was married three times: firstly to Mary
(born in 1802, died in 1828), the daughter of David Noe, who died on (or soon
after) 17 June 1829 at about the time of the birth of her son Abraham. He
married secondly Margaret Rupp who was born in 1802 and was living in 1850. He
married thirdly Martha (Patsy), the daughter of Robert Stepp, on 11 April 1859.
At the time of his third marriage he was age 70 and his wife 18 or 19. He had
children by all three of his wives.
On 26 October 1810 Henry Skidmore of Lee County, Virginia, for the
natural love and affection of his son John and $100.00, deeded nine slaves to
John Skidmore. Chief among them was the giant slave Swan who weighed 350 pounds
and had saved the lives in 1790 of two Hamblen boys during an Indian raid into
Lee County. Also included were Swan's wife Sarah, Negro boys named Lorey,
Alfred, George, and Negro girls Sarah, Belinda, Cynthia and Frankey, who appear
to have been their seven children. Also included in the gift was a four-year
old bay horse, ten head of cattle, 50 head of hogs, four feather beds, one
large kettle, two ovens and a pot. On 8 September 1820, some 10 years later,
John Skidmore emancipated Swan and his wife (aged about 57 and 40 years) in
consideration of their past service "as far-fourth as the Laws of Virginia
will allow." Swan took the surname Hamilton and settled on a small farm
six miles south of Jonesville in Lee County, Virginia.
John Skidmore was enumerated in 1820 and 1830 in Lee County, Virginia.
He was added to the tithables in Lee County in 1813, and first appears with
land in 1823 when he was taxed on 150 acres "three miles southwest of the
courthouse"; this would place him adjacent to the mountain range that
separated his Virginia homestead from the southeast area of Harlan County, Kentucky,
where he eventually settled. In 1832 the tax list of Lee County notes that he
was living in Kentucky.
He moved about 1831 a few miles across the mountains to the Cranks Creek
area (bordering Virginia) of Harlan County where he remained the rest of his
life. In the early years before Harlan County was formed most of the business
of the community was transacted at Jonesville in Lee County, Virginia, which
was considerably more accessible than an equivalent trading center in Kentucky.
The convenience factor, especially for the people of Harlan County residing on
Cranks Creek, Crummies, and Upper Martin's Fork, continued after the
establishment of county seat at Mt. Pleasant (later Harlan).
John Skidmore was apparently a slave owner in Harlan County; in 1838 it
was noted that "his man" Godfrey Skidmore was ordered to work on the
roads there.
John Skidmore deeded property to his sons Henry and Leander on 12 June
1863. This may have been a final division of his property to his children. He
was listed on the Harlan County Tax Lists in 1867 and 1868, without property.
In 1869 he was not included on the tax list but his wife Patsy (presumably now
his widow) was listed. She was enumerated as the head of a household in the
1870 census living at Wallins Creek in Harlan County with her children and
Robert Stepp, her father, then aged 75. No estate settlement has been found for
John Skidmore in Harlan County.
His third wife, Martha (Patsy) Stepp married secondly, on 23 March 1878
at Harlan County, William Saylor. In the 1880 census she is listed as age 40,
and he was age 65. In their household in 1880 are children Elijah age 14, Nancy
age 12, and Delia age 8 (which would indicate that she was born in 1872).
Martha's children were listed in 1880 with the surname Saylor, however they
were known as Skidmore throughout their lifetime. William Saylor apparently
died before 1900. Martha (Patsy) was enumerated both in 1900 and 1910 in the
household of her son Elijah Lafayette Skidmore, who removed to Rockcastle
County, Kentucky, in the early 1900s. She died at his home in Rockcastle County
on 5 December 1918 and is buried there in the Copper Creek Cemetery.
John Skidmore had issue, 15 (perhaps 16) children. Those by his first
wife, Mary Noe, were born in Lee County, Virginia. The remaining children were
all born in Harlan County, Kentucky.

Stephen Jones Revolutionary
Soldier
In order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress of 1 June 1832, on
the
6th of April 1834, personally appeared before Joseph Eversole, Judge of
the
Harlan Circuit Court, Stephen Jones, a resident of Clover Fork, District
of
Cumberland River in Harlan County, Kentucky, age 83, 5th of August next,
states that he entered the service of the US, a militia soldier in
......?......County, North Carolina, for a tour of three months in 1779,
as
well as he now remembers under Richard Cook, Capt. Wm. Moore, Col.
Thomas
Jefferson, and Gen. Grant Bunt. We marched from Granville County to
Hull,
beyond then to ? in Rowan County. Then we marched for the Indian Nations
for
up on the Catawba and up the same as far as Silver Creek, then we reached
Granville before our three months were out. but continued there under
command of our Officers until our three months were out. Rain fell upon
us
and we were required to march across the Adkin. Many of the soldiers,
among
the number who I understand had to wade the river. The British opened
fire
on our baggage wagons as they were crossing the river, thence to
Virginia
line, our troops took the prisoners into custody and our time being near
out, that we had not time to reach before it would......we were ordered
home. When we got home I received a written discharge for the service,
having fully performed the three months and few days over.
States that in the year 1780, as well as he remembers, I know it was
before
the last tour I have mentioned. I was drafted to go a tour to Cross
Creek
against the British. I do not remember how long I was drafted for words
I
know how long I served. We marched for Cross Creek, but before we got
there,
understanding that the British had left the place we returned home. I
cannot
remember how long I served on this tour but to the best of my knowledge
not
less than one month. I served other services but cannot remember to
describe
them. I found one of my discharges for a month's tour which I placed in
the
hands of my son Zachariah Jones for safe keeping. He is now present and
states that after a difficult search he has been unable to find said
discharge. I have no written document of my service that I can find nor
do I
know of anyone living by whom I can prove my service. I was born in St.
Mary's County, Maryland, August 19, 1750. I was living in Granville
County,
North Carolina, when first called into service, afterwards in Surry
County,
North Carolina. In Kentucky where I now live for the last 40 years. I
volunteered for a tour of three months. I was drafted twice over. I
served
three months and the other tour one month.
Colonel Morgan was with the troops when I served. I do not know the
number
of any Regiments with whom I served.
I received written discharges, one signed by Capt. William Hall, I
cannot
remember who the other was signed by, they are lost.
I am known by Carr Bailey, Wm. Sumer, James Huff, and many others in my
present neighborhood who if present would testify to my character and their
belief of my service as a soldier of the Revolution.
Signed...Stephen Jones
We, Zachariah Jones, James Blanton, and George Brittain, residing in
Harlan
County, Kentucky, hereby certify that we are acquainted with Stephen
Jones,
and we believe him to be 84 years of age.
Zachariah Jones certifies that the applicant, who is his father, handed
to
him some months ago for safe keeping, a discharge for his service for a
tour
of three months during the Revolutionary War. He states he placed it in
a
tin box with his other papers and that he had made a difficult search
for
for said discharge but has not been able to find it.
John Crump was Clerk of the Circuit Court at the time this declaration
was
made. (From Spike Jones 29 Jan

The Story of Elizabeth YEARY BALL's Capture by the Indians. One night
Jemina Yeary (born 1776) went to milk the cow. She saw an Indian hiding behind
a log. She pretended she didn't see him, milked her cow, and went back to the
house where she told her sister, Elizabeth, and an old Negro slave. (Elizabeth
was Moses BALL's wife). They could hear the Indians whistling to one another
and giving signals. They broke down the door, killed the old slave, scalped him
and put the scalp in a belt. They found Elizabeth and captured her. She
recognized the scalp they carried as that of the old Negro. Jemina had hidden
in the chimney and the Indians did not find her. The Indians traveled with
Elizabeth for three or four days. She broke off twigs from the trees and bushes
as she went along the road. Another of the slaves had tried to follow her but
was found and killed. They would travel by day and at night they would tie her.
One night she got loose and ran away. They followed her, and once got so close,
that she hid in a hollow log. They looked everywhere, even stood on the log,
but failed to look inside. She stayed in that log for a day and a night, then
picked up her trail of broken twigs until she came to a cross-roads and she
couldn't tell which road to take. A little bird flew down, twittered and flew
away. She went in the direction that the bird had flown and soon met her
husband, Moses BALL, and her brothers who were coming to hunt for her. She was
a sister of Henry who fought in the Revolutionary War.

Notes
for James Sergent:
Harlan
Footprints Vol. III, Issue 2, April 1987, pp. 75-84.
(p.
77-79) James, second son of Abraham and Elizabeth, was born about 1803.
Sometimebefore
1830, he married Judith Farley, born about 1800. They were
divorced
in 1836 and 21 June 1836/7, in Harlan County, James married again
to
Rebecca Green, Born ca. 1822. Both wives apparently had children in and
out
of their marriages to James and the parentage of most of the children
listed
is questionable. In Judith's divorce petition, she accuses James of
living
in adultery with one Catherine Cornitt and other women. In his answer
to
the court, James admits to the allegation regarding Catherine but denies
there
were any others. Both Rebecca and Judith have their own households in
1850
Harlan County and it is not known where James might be or if he was
even
still living, Judith had children after the divorce....Rebecca had
children
after the 1850 census and with no evidence of James as the
father.....

for Nancy Sergent:
Harlan
Footprints III/2 April 1987 page. 76:
There
is no definite proof establishing Abraham and Elizabeth as Jane's parents but
there do appear to be strong ties between her family and theirs and by birth
and location she fits in as an elder daughter. She was born about 1796 in North
Carolina. One source names her mother as Jane Dove of North Carolina. If this
is correct, it is possible that Abraham was married twice.

Augustus Asher - June 23, 1898.
My grandfather, Dillon
Asher, came from Tennessee to Ford of Cumberlands in 1800, moved to Red
Bird. His wife was Sally Davis. Their children: Blevins, Robert, John, Ira (Roberts), "Pug" (Henry
Sizemore). There were others, I do not
remember them. By Miss Davis, his
wife's sister, he had children that took the name of Asher as follows: Jackson, Wilkerson, and Joshia who still
lives and I think, Preston Asher was their brother. Bige, Matt, Jackson, Hugh, Tom and Dillon Asher are sons of
Jackson. These are the men that
have become so wealthy. All are worth
more than Bige and he is probably worth 25,000 dollars. Jack, said to be worth $300,000, Matt,
$200,000, Tom lives at Masiota, worth $3000,000. Hugh lives at Pineville, also Jack, though they have houses near
Lexington. Matt, Jack and Hugh were
famous lumbermen who started booming logs on the Kentucky River at Ford; they
made big money. Their sisters are Mrs.
Martha Morgan; Charity Howard; Puss, Bige Morgan of Sexton; Polly Gibson.

Notes for Mary "Nancy" DAVIS:
In the 1850 census for Clay County, KY, she is in the home of daughter
Mary and husband Henry SIZEMORE. She is
listed as Nancy ASHER, 75, b. VA. In
the 1860 census, she is still in the household but listed as Mary ASHER, 83, b.
VA. In her father's will, her name was
Mary. She may have been given both names
or used one as a nickname. Thus, I have
entered her name as Mary "Nancy", to show "Nancy" as a
nickname, which may not be correct.

Radyr, Glamorgan; born 1714 in St.Fagans, Glamorgan (?); died Dec 1799 in
St.Fagans, Glamorgan.
Notes
for John Francis:
John
Frank appears to have been born about 1718 but it is not certain where.
The
first reference that I have found to him is his marriage at Radyr Church o n 8
February 1747/8, under the name John Francis,
to Florence Llewellyn. The entry in the Radyr parish register shows them
both to have been from St.Fagans at the time of their marriage. It is likely
that John may have been born in St.George-super-Ely and he was probably the son
of one Francis Lewis or Thomas. The marriage was contracted by a license from
the Bishop of Llandaff and the marriage bond/allegation is at the National
Library of Wales, Aberystwyth. The bond was for £200 and the bondsmen were John
Francis, labourer, of St.Fagans and Thoma s Evan, yeoman, of St. Fagans. It was
dated 6 February 1747/8.
The
couple lived at St.Fagans after their marriage and their four children were all
christened there, again under the name Francis rather than Frank.
Prior
to 1762 John Frank was a victualler but in that year William Thomas records in
his diary that John was one of those whose victualler's license was not
renewed. The reason is not clear.
On
7 October 1762 nine drunken men from St. Nicholas broke into John Frank's house
and assaulted George Rosser, a Sergeant in the Glamorgan Militia, because he
had "cried the King's Peace" in an effort to prevent them from
beating one David Lewis of Talygarn and his friends, who were gamesters and had
"robbed" them at gambling. The rioters had also burned the cap of a
servant of William Bassett of Miskin and had "abused" Florence Frank,
as well as breaking windows and causing other damage to the house.
On
9 October the nine men concerned appeared before Michael Richards, JP, as a
result of a writ drawn by John Llewellyn and Francis Thomas of St.Fagans. They
were fined a half a guinea each to be paid to George Rosser, half a guinea to
be paid to William Bassett's servant and 10/- to be paid to John and Florence
Frank .
It
is interesting that the writ was drawn by John Llewellyn, who was Florence
Frank's brother and Francis Thomas who may have been John Frank's brother.
In
1769 John Frank was granted the lease of a house and garden and two cottages in
St.Fagans by the Earl of Plymouth, for the lives of John's three children
William (aged 19), Ann (aged 15), and
John (aged 12).
The
first Land Tax Assessment for St.Fagans in 1781 shows that John Frank was then
occupying a property in St.Fagans on the Plymouth Estate, and that this
property had previously been held by John Llewellyn. The latter moved from St.Fagans
to Llandaff around 1765 so it seems likely that the property occupied by John
Frank in 1781 was the same property that he had been granted in 1769 and that
this had previously been occupied by his brother in law, John Llewellyn.
Perhaps it had been the Llewellyn family home?
John
Frank continued to occupy the same property until his death in 1806, when the
occupancy of the property passed to his son Evan Frank, although the lease
would have passed to Evan's brothers William & John (their sister Ann was
already dead) and in fact the Estate Rental Books show that these
"lives" were still in being ie that the brothers were alive and still
officially held the lease.
John
Frank was buried at St.Fagans church on 10 November 1806 aged 88. His wife Florence had pre-deceased him,
dying in 1799 aged 85. She too was buried at St .Fagans church.

Notes for Keziah ?:
The book, "John Ball of Lee County, Virginia and His
Descendants", by William Woodson Hoskins, 1975, p. 6, refers to George's
wife as "wife killed by Indians" and does not show her name. In the new book, "The Ball Family of
the Potomac: 1654-2004", by Doris
LeClerc Ball and George L. Ball, 2004, p. 319, the authors state,
"According to family tradition, the wife of George Ball was named
Keziah. There is no documented evidence
for this, but it follows enduring family oral tradition. Also, three of Keziah's children - Martha,
John, and Moses - all named a daughter Keziah, and the name was used repeatedly
by this branch of the family for at least the next 100 years."
The authors also refer to the confusion with George BELL, who married
Ann HANSON or HENSON 15 April 1745 in Overwharton Parish, Stafford County, VA.
Page 319......."The Overwharton Register by Boogher mentioned
George BELL who had married Ann HANSON on April 15, 1745. Many people have mistaken this handwritten
name, George BELL, as George BALL, son of John BALL. This assumption is incorrect.
Both Boogher, who made many mistakes relative to the BALL/RALLS family
members in his transcription of this register, and George Harrison Sanford KING
who corrected these mistakes, are consistent in listing this person as George
BELL."
The Overwharton Parish register, 1720-1760, is online at:
http://www.rootsweb.com/~vastaffo/parishregb.htm. As can be seen below, at least three
children are shown in the register for George and Ann BELL, and two others may
be theirs. These are not the children
of George BALL.

Blackmore vs. Adams OS 110; N.
S. 38 Bill in Lee county 1806. Orators are Jonathan and Sarah Adams, Joseph
Blakemore, grandfather of Jonathan and Sarah (father of their mother, Molly
Adams) gave Molly a negro. Theirfather,
Adams, was killed by Indians.
Afterwards Molly was married (but illegally) to Henry Hamlin. Molly had brothers, Joseph and Wm.
Blakemore, and sisters Hannah and Susan.
Molly had a daughter, Cynthea Chadwell, half -sister to orators. Hannah above became Hannah Bird."
In today's terms, I think this means Joseph Blakemore gave his two
grandchildren a slave and that the
grandchildren Sarah and Jonathan were children of Molly , Joseph's daughter,
who had married an Adams and then illegally was married to Henry Hamlin. The elder Joseph Blakemore also had Joseph,
William, Hannah, Susan as well as Molly.
Molly had a daughter named Cynthea Chadwell also but this could mean a
third marriage?, first Adams, second Hamlin, third Chadwell? This Cynthea went through life as Chadwelll
even after she had several children by Robert Davi/d/son.
EARLY SETTLERS noted an 1802 Lee will of Joseph Blakemore who left his
daughter Molly Hamblin (alias Molly Adams) $1.00 current money of the U. S.

Notes for Richard DAVIS:
WILL OF RICHARD DAVIS
September 4, 1815
In the name of God, amen,
I, Richard Davis, of the County of Knox, and State of Kentucky, being afflicted
by the hands of providence, but retaining at present my perfect mind and
memory, and calling to mind the mortality of the body and that it is appointed
all men once to die, do make and appoint this my last Will and Testament (viz)
In the first place, I commend my body to the ground to be buried in a
Christian-like manner, at the direction of my executor and love to God who gave
it, not doubting but that I shall receive the same again at the general
Resurrection,
Secondly: My worldly
affairs I depose of in the following manner (viz) First, to my wife, Elizabeth
Davis, I will and bequeath all my real and personal estate during her natural
life, to enjoy the same free from control, not putting in her power at the same
time to dispose of any of the land or negroes, but she is to remain on the
plantation and in the house where I now live, and exercise full power and
control of the same as she may think proper after paying my just debts out of
the same if the debts due to me is not sufficient to pay the same when
collected.
Second: To Joseph Belew and
the children of my daughter Polley, after she became his wife, I bequeath One
Dollar.
Third: To Dillion Asher and
my daughter, Mary, his wife, I will and bequeath One Dollar
Fourth: To John W. Neal and
my daughter Patry, his wife, I will bequeath One Dollar.
Fifth: To my daughter,
Sarah, I will and bequeath One Dollar.
Sixth: I give and bequeath
to William Sims and my daughter Betsy and heirs, One Dollar.
Seventh: I give and
bequeath to James Sims and my daughter, Susan, his wife, one equal half of all
my estate, real and personal, so soon as a dividend can be made after the death
of my wife, Elizabeth Davis, and after las(t) of the aforementioned legatees
receive their several parts as above stipulated.
Eighth: I give and bequeath
to my only son, Preston Davis, the other half of my estate, which I wish to be
equal to that of James Sims and Susan his wife, which division I wish not to be
made until my son, Preston, arrives to the age of twenty-one years and then if
said Sims and wife, and my son, Preston, should not agree in the division of
said estate, I wish it to be divided by four disinterested persons which they
may choose for that purpose.

Notes
for Dillion ASHER:
We
also checked Dillion Asher's (1777-1844) will and he did not mention his wife
by name, just said ... to my lawful wife at the time of my decease.... He did mention "Sally Davis" as
the mother of his illegitimate children. As we said before, Dillion's only
marriage (marriage record has not yet been found) was to Nancy(Mary) Davis(b
1775); And that he had children by her sister Sally Davis (b1787) and Sarah
Collett (b1801/02) and her sister Elizabeth Collett (b1805/10). For this year's
Asher Reunion in October, the researchers are planning to publish THE COLLETT
FAMILY OF DILLION ASHER - there are some 11 children.

Augustus
Asher - June 23, 1898.
My grandfather, Dillon Asher, came from
Tennessee to Ford of Cumberlands in 1800, moved to Red Bird. His wife was Sally Davis. Their children: Blevins, Robert, John, Ira (Roberts), "Pug" (Henry
Sizemore). There were others, I do not
remember them. By Miss Davis, his
wife's sister, he had children that took the name of Asher as follows: Jackson, Wilkerson, and Joshia who still
lives and I think, Preston Asher was their brother. Bige, Matt, Jackson, Hugh, Tom and Dillon Asher are sons of
Jackson. These are the men that have become so
wealthy. All are worth more than Bige
and he is probably worth 25,000 dollars.
Jack, said to be worth $300,000, Matt, $200,000, Tom lives at Masiota,
worth $3000,000. Hugh lives at
Pineville, also Jack, though they have houses near Lexington. Matt, Jack and Hugh were famous lumbermen
who started booming logs on the Kentucky River at Ford; they made big
money. Their sisters are Mrs. Martha
Morgan; Charity Howard; Puss, Bige Morgan of Sexton; Polly Gibson.
