James Hancher Summitt may have been named for the Reverend James Knicely Hancher. His parents were pioneer members of St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Monroe County, TN. Transcribed records of St. Paul's Lutheran Church show that the Rev. Hancher preached at the church at least once a year from 1853-1859 (1859 was James Hancher Summitt's birth year). Rev. Hancher's first wife, Amanda BUSHONG, was the Aunt by marriage of Laura Melvina WOLFORD. When James Hancher Summitt was 3 years old in 1862, he was helping his older brothers as they chopped wood for their fire. He was picking up the pieces of split wood after they were struck with the axe by the older boys. He reached in just as one of them was swinging the axe and his left hand was cut off except for some skin just above the wrist. The older boys mounted their horses to go into town to get the doctor. On the way, they were intercepted by Confederate soldiers who confiscated their horses, and they were forced to make the remainder of the trip on foot. When the doctor finally arrived, he was only able to sew up the remaining stub. When he later became a schoolteacher and minister, he held the book from which he was reading in the crook of his remaining left arm. He is said to have been able to perform most daily activities except he could not tie his necktie alone.

Notes for Dr. James Monroe CARDEN:

J. M. Carden was born in Union County, Tenn., January 23, 1852. His parents were Goldman B. and Rosa (Monroe) Carden, the former a native of North Carolina of English stock and the latter of Tennessee of German origin. Our subject had the meager advantage of country education, but while working on the farm he so persisted to study, even by the light of the fireside, that when he reached his majority he was prepared to teach. His first school was in 1872, but he continued in that work until 1878, studying medicine in the meantime. He now continued studying medicine, and during 1879-80 he attended lectures at the medical department of the University of Tennessee at Nashville. He practiced from 1880 to 1886, when he became the Republican nominee for State senator, for the Fifth District, and was elected in the fall of the same year. He became a member of the State Senate in January, 1887, and spend his leisure hours in lecture attendance at the University of Tennessee, and finished the course he had begun in 1879, and received his diploma, and now is in the practice of his profession. In 1870, he married Martha E. Carns, a daughter of Capt. W. C. and Mary (Adkins) Carns. Their children were Annie C., U. S. G., Ina E. (deceased), W. A. Wheeler, Robert L., and Susan Vestal. Our subject, his wife and eldest daughter are members of the Missionary Baptist Church, he joining in 1869. He is a self-made man of considerable promise, who has never had any of the advantages of wealth, but has made good use of the spurs of poverty.

Notes for Robert Lee Carden:

Tennessee the Volunteer State 1769–1923: Volume 3

ROBERT LEE CARDEN.

One of the estimable citizens of Knoxville is Robert Lee Carden, president of the Knoxville board of education and active in the conduct of an insurance business. A native of this state, he was born at Pioneer, Campbell county, on the 29th of January, 1882. His father, Dr. James M. Carden, was born in Anderson county, Tennessee, in 1852. He received his medical training at the University of Tennessee and was engaged in the practice of his chosen profession until his demise in 1906. He was a skilled surgeon, standing high in the ranks of the foremost members of his profession, and he was retained as surgeon for many railroad companies throughout Tennessee. Aside from his profession Dr. Carden was active in public life, was a stanch republican, and was state senator from Knox and Anderson counties, 1886-1888. His father, the grandfather of Robert Lee, was Goldman Carden, who came to Tennessee from North Carolina when a young unmarried man. In 1870 occurred the marriage of Dr. Carden to Miss Elizabeth Carnes, whose demise occurred in 1903. She was born in Anderson county, a daughter of Captain William C. Carnes, who commanded Company C, Third Tennessee Regiment, Union army in the Civil war. He was wounded at Mill Springs, Kentucky, and the close of the war found him a prisoner in Andersonville prison. Shortly after his release he died, his wounds and imprisonment having left him in a weakened condition, from which he was unable to recover. Prior to the outbreak of the war he was one of the prominent farmers of Anderson county. Among the many family keepsakes the Cardens had a small pocket testament which was owned by General Zollicoffer, who met death in the battle of Mill Springs. The Bible was marked by the fatal bullet hole and was treasured by the family until it was destroyed in a fire which burned the Carden home.

ROBERT LEE CARDEN.

page 172

Robert Lee Carden received his early education in the public schools of Andersonville and was graduated from the Big Valley Academy at Andersonville, in 1897. He [p.172] then enrolled in the University of Tennessee, completing his course of instruction in that institution in the required time. For six or eight years after putting his textbooks aside he was a traveling salesman out of Chattanooga, for patent medicines, and he then went to Lafollette, where he established an insurance agency. He left Lafollette in 1913, having been appointed deputy insurance commissioner of Tennessee and in 1914 he came to Knoxville, where he resumed the insurance business. He was active in this connection until January of the year 1921, when he was made insurance commissioner of Tennessee, receiving his appointment through Governor Taylor. He resigned that office in July of the same year and he has since been well known in insurance circles. He is general agent for East Tennessee of the Southern Surety Company and district manager of the Fidelity Mutual Life Insurance Company. He is one of the most prominent and dependable insurance men in the state and enjoys an extensive business. Aside from the insurance business he is a director in the Inter-State Loan & Finance Corporation of Knoxville.

ROBERT LEE CARDEN.

On the 26th of February, 1903, was celebrated the marriage of Mr. Carden to Miss Maude Brooks of Coal Creek, a daughter of Abner Brooks, a native of Anderson county, who was store manager for the Coal Creek Coal Company for a period covering some thirty years. To the union of Mr. and Mrs. Carden two daughters have been born: Bobby Brooks and Barbara Lou. The eldest child is a student in the high school, while the youngest is attending the grade schools.

Tennessee the Volunteer State 1769–1923: Volume 3

Since attaining his majority Mr. Carden has given his political endorsement to the republican party and the principles for which it stands and he has always been active in party councils, although he has never sought nor desired public preferment. He is a stanch advocate of education, realizing that a good education is the basis of business success, and in 1921 he was elected president of the local school board, his term to expire in 1922. His religious faith is that of the Presbyterian church and he and his family attend the Fourth Presbyterian church of Knoxville. Fraternally he is a Mason, holding membership in Lafollette Lodge, No. 659; Coal Creek Chapter, Royal Arch Masons; and Cypress Commandery, Knights Templars. He is active in every movement for the development and improvement of Knoxville as a member of the Board of Commerce and he is likewise identified with the Business Men's Club. Socially he holds membership in the Cumberland Club and the Whittle Springs Golf and Country Club. For some time he has been a leader in the affairs of the Kiwanis Club and was its secretary in 1920. Mr. Carden finds recreation in the great outdoors and he is especially fond of fishing and golfing, and is greatly interested in football, rarely missing a game during the season. Upon the entrance of the United States into the World war Mr. Carden was quick to put personal interests aside and he gave generously of his time and money in the furtherance of the government's interests.

Hon. J. A. Brown, the subject of our sketch, was born in Anderson County, Tenn., June 20, 1842. His father was William Brown, of Kentucky. His mother was Malinda Overton, of Tennessee. The father was of Scotch descent, the mother of Dutch. About the year 1828, the father immigrated to the State of Tennessee, and here married the mother of our subject. Unto the marriage were born seven sons and two daughters. Our subject is the fifth of these children. He was reared on the farm, an, in the main, farming has been his occupation throughout life. He was educated in the country schools, and though his school days ended leaving him possessed of a limited education, he has applied himself to individual study, and has acquired considerable learning. When the civil war broke out, his patriotic spirit promped him to the defense of his country, and at the age of twenty years he enlisted in the United States army in Company B, Third Tennessee Infantry. he served throughout the war as a private; was in many of the hottest contests of the struggle, was in the battle of Nashville, and in the Georgia campaign. At the close of the war he went to Indiana and Illinois, and farmed for nearly three years. In the year of 1868, he returned to his native State, and was united in marriage with Miss Talitha Duncan, daughter of Alfred Duncan. Two sons and three daughters have blessed the marriage. Their names are William A., Edgar, Ida F., Lelia G. and Sarah (actually Sally). Since Mr. Brown's return to Tennessee, he has followed farming a portion of the time; first suspending farm work in 1878, in which year he was elected register for the county of Anderson. As register he served four years, and then was elected sheriff of his county in which office he served the constitutional period, and then returned to farming. In 1886, he was elected representative for the counties of Anderson and Morgan. His whole life has been an example of toil and perseverance. He commenced without capital, and besides being successful in his pursuit for the necessaries of life, he has filled many positions of trust and honor. He is a member of the Grand Army of the Republic, and is an ardent Republican.(Goodspeed's History of Tennessee, 1887)

16. Daniel SUMMIT, born 05 Apr 1795 in Lincoln Co, NC; died 30 Sep 1838 in Monroe County, TN. He was the son of 32. Francis SUMMIT, Sr. and 33. Dolly ABERNATHY. He married 17. Sarah MOSER 03 Dec 1813 in Lincoln County, NC.

17. Sarah MOSER, born 24 May 1796 in Sullivan County, TN or Lincoln Co, NC; died 30 Jun 1856 in Monroe County, TN. She was the daughter of 34. Francis M. MOSER I and 35. Elizabeth MILLER.

Notes for Daniel SUMMIT:

1830 Census, Jefferson County, TN, p. 331

Dan'l SUMMITT 2 0 1 1 0 1 - 2 2 1 1 0 1 (2 males 0-5, 1 male 10-15, 1 male 15-20, 1 male 30-40, 2 females 0-5, 2 females 5-10, 1 female 10-15, 1 female 15-20, 1 female 30-40)

In Monroe County, Tennessee (by Paul C. Summitt, Feb. 1999 on "Daniel Summitt")

It would, therefore, appear that Daniel and Sarah probably moved to Jefferson County, Tennessee in mid-1822 to join the Francis Moser family "South of the French Broad River on the waters of Muddy Creek" and did not move to Monroe County until perhaps as late as the mid-1830s, with marriages of his children in Monroe County records beginning in April 1838 shortly before Daniel's death. An educated guess might have Daniel and family moving to Monroe County in 1834 the year following his last appearance on the Jefferson County tax list. This scenario discredits the idea that these early German Lutheran families first came to Tennessee to exploit the expulsion of the Indians in Southeast Tennessee and explains the unexpected absence of so-called Hiawassee grants of land to these pioneers in former Cherokee territory.

At any rate, when they moved to Monroe County, Daniel and his family settled on land in the Vonore area and were affiliated with the nearby St. Paul Lutheran Church which was established probably around 1825 to serve families in the Island Creek, Bat Creek, and Fork Creek areas of Monroe County. The first record on St. Paul is a grant deed in 1825 in which the County Commissions deeded four acres of land to the Lutheran Society, specifically to the trustees for the Lutherans, Abraham Buch (Buck) and Adam Mowry. While Lutheran congregations were generally dedicated record keepers, no records for St. Paul are known to exist for the period from its founding until around the later 1840s. Some of the early families instrumental in the formation of St. Paul are thought to have been the Clemmers, Vinsants, Brakebills, Girdners, Sheets, Mowrys, Summits, Mosers, Gastons, Bogards, Boyds, Bucks, Kyles, Cooks, Davises, and Michaels. The first church of logs was built by the congregation on the Southwest corner of the four acres just to the west of the still existing old cemetery. Tradition has it that this church was 40 x 60 feet, with dirt floors, walls of large tulip poplar logs, and a hand-split cedar shingle roof. It is not known when the intersecting roads at the corner of the property at the location of the church and cemetery acquired the names of Brakebill Road and Summit Road. Summit road (note the one "t") acquired its name apparently because it led from the old St. Paul Lutheran church to the farm of Eusebius Summitt, eldest son of Daniel, land later inherited by his son, Martin Luther Summitt. The road still goes by that name.

By the time St. Paul Lutheran was organized, there were about fifteen Lutheran Churches in Northeast Tennessee--all North and East of Monroe County. It is thought that several of the Virginia and North Carolina pastors took turns servicing St. Paul, with Adam Miller, Daniel Moser, possibly Daniel Summit, Philip and David Henkel, Robert J. Miller, David Gould and others assisting until Jacob Shaffer became the permanent minister about 1840. This author's guess is that Daniel Summit did not have any role in the early operation of St. Paul Lutheran since he did not move to the area until the mid-1830s some seven years after the Mosers and other Lutheran families settled in Monroe County. Eusebius Summitt was in fact to become one of the long term faithful leaders of this church--but that is another story.

Daniel died September 30, 1838 at age 43. Sarah is listed in the 1840 Federal census for Monroe County, Tennessee, as a head of household consisting of 3 males 5 to 10 years old (presumably Daniel, Peter, and John); 1 male 10 to 15 years old (Francis); 2 females 10 to 15 years old (Susanna and Elizabeth); 1 female 20 to 30 years old (Lydia, the only unmarried daughter in this age range); and 1 female 40 to 50 years old (Sarah). She is again listed in the l850 Federal census for Monroe County as a 54 year old female head of household with a 17 year old Peter Summit listed as a male farmer age 17. It is a mystery to this author what ever happened to Daniel and John. Sarah died June 30, 1856.

Both Daniel and Sarah are buried in the Old St. Paul Lutheran Cemetery with still legible tombstones with the last name spelled "Summit". The tombstones for Daniel and Sarah were made by Luther Blackman and John Moser in the tombstone trade in Monroe County using marble mined between Loudon and Madisonville. The entries in the Luther Blackman's Inscription Book show "Daniel Summit Born Apr 5 1795 Died Sept 30 1838. Stone 4 ft 6 in long 13 in wide delivrd at Shop Price 15.00" and "Sarah wife of Danl Summit Born May 24 1796 Died June 30 1856. Stone 4 ft 6 in Long 13 in wide delivrd at Shop Price 15.00". [Information supplied by Janelle Swearingen, Tulsa, Oklahoma]

There is no record of an administration of the estate of Daniel Summit. Eusebius was the administrator of Sarah's estate in 1856. Her personal property was inventoried and sold, with buyers including Eusebius Summit, Joseph Summit, Peter Summit, Francis Summit, John Moser, David Lowry, Peter Moser, and Francis Moser.

Following is an abstract, written by Thomas M. Boyd, of probate records found at the courthouse in Madisonville, Monroe Co., TN:

ABSTRACT OF COURT RECORDS REGARDING SETTLEMENT OF ESTATE OF JEREMIAH BOYD Beginning December, 1869 Monroe County, Tennessee

Sons of Jeremiah Boyd deceased. December 6, 1869 Jeremiah Boyd, Darius E. Boyd, citizens of Monroe County, David L. Boyd, a citizen of McMinn County, Joseph A. Boyd a citizen of the State of Arkansas. Daughters of Jeremiah Boyd deceased. Sarah Summit and Husband Eusebius Summit, citizens of Monroe County and Mary A. Endsley a citizen of the State of Arkansas, Complainants.

Vs.

Sons of Jeremiah Boyd deceased. Andrew Boyd and Martin Boyd, citizens of the State of Illinois, Widow and daughter of Jeremiah Boyd deceased. Susannah Boyd and Martha Boyd, citizens of Monroe County. Children and heirs at law of John K. Boyd deceased who was a son of Jeremiah Boyd deceased. Mary A. Pullen, Susan C. Boyd, Sarah F. Boyd, John W. Boyd, Phillip M. Boyd, Martha E. Boyd, Wilber B. Boyd, Abraham W. Boyd, and Alis(Alice) M. Boyd, citizens of Bradley County, the last six of whom are minors and have no regular guardian.

Note: the districts referred to here are districts named as the government acquired them from the Cherokee indians. Jeremiah almost certainly obtained his land through land grants. Jeremiah Boyd died intestate, owning two tracts of land:

* 160 acres(quarter section) in Hiwasse District on which Jeremiah lived at the time of his death(later referred to as his "home farm") * 160 acres(quarter section) in Ocoee District(later referred to as his "mountain tract")

Jeremiah's personal assets were ample to satisfy all outstanding liabilities so it will not be necessary to sell any portion of the land for the payment of debts.

Complainants requested that the land be sold and proceeds divided rather than divide the land among the heirs.

May 9, 1870 Susannah's answer to the bill filed on Dec. 6, 1869: She agreed to her dower interest in the land being included in the sale of the land provied she receive a reasonable portion of the proceeds.

June 9, 1870 States that defendants Andrew Boyd and Martin Boyd failed to appear and make defense to the bill(above). Judge orders that the bill be set for hearing ex parte and orders the following to be reported at the next term of the court:

1st, whether the lands are susceptable to advantageous partition 2nd, whether it is manifestly in the best interest of all to sell the dower interest of Susannah with the land 3rd, what would be a reasonable amount to allow Susannah in lieu of dower 4th, what would be a fair price for the tracts of land

November 24, 1870 Interrogatories of witnesses regarding the questions of June 9, 1870... witnesses stated that: * A fair price for the home farm is $750 * The dower portion should be $50(1/15th) * A fair price for the mountain tract is $60 * The dower portion should be $4(1/15th)

December, 1870The results of the interrogatories above reported to the court.

May, 1871Judge orders that after 30 days notice by advertisement at 5 public places in Monroe County, sale of the land shall proceed at public sale at the courthouse door in Madisonville, to the highest and best bidder. The action will be reported in the next term of the court.

June 27, 1871Announcement of Chancery Sale and terms of the sale.

November, 1871The home farm was sold to John Cline for $751. The mountain tract failed to sell for the minimum price of $60, as set by the court.

March, 1872Judge ordered that the mountain tract be sold for whatever it would bring.

June, 1872Report to the court that the the mountain tract was sold, at public sale per terms of the court, to Jeremiah Boyd(Jr.) for $1.

Notes for Susannah KEICHER:

Susannah Keicher was a member of Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Washington Co., TN and there are birth and baptism records entered for her and Jeremiah Boyd. That is about it for tying her to Conrad but look at the Washington Co. Marriage Records that indicate that she may be a sister to Barbara who married James Chandler. Jeremiah Boyd and James Chandler were bondsman for each other on their marriage bond. Susannah married 21 March 1811 and Barbara married 20 July 1811. She and Jeremiah moved on to Monroe Co., TN around 1819 when the Indians were moved westward. They named a son, John Keicher Boyd born 1815.

Notes for Henry Clay Slover:

H.C. Slover is a native of Anderson County, Tenn., and was born September 16, 1844. He is the son of Aaron and Nancy (Burton) Slover. The father was born in Anderson County, Tenn., November 1809, and was the son of Aaron Slover, a native of Virginia, and one of the pioneers of Anderson County, of which he served as trustee for about twenty years. The father was a farmer by vocation, and died October 10, 1886. The mother was born in Virginia in April, 1813, and was the daughter of John Burton, a native of Virginia, who moved to Anderson County about 1815, where he died in 1850. She died in 1863. Both parents were members of the Methodist Church. Our subject was reared on the farm where his father was born, and acquired his early education at home. In August, 1862, he enlisted in Company C of the Second Federal Regiment of Tennessee Infantry, and November 6, 1863, was captured at Rogersville, Tenn. He was confined in prison at Belle Isle, Andersonville, Charleston and Florence, being exchanged from the latter place after thirteen months and ten days' imprisonment, from which his health suffered greatly and his constitution was undermined. He was mustered out of service at Knoxville, Tenn., May 27, 1865, and returned to his parents. He attended school next, but after several months his health became so poor he was compelled to leave the school permanently. He has served as constable, school commission and deputy sheriff of Anderson County, and in 1880 enumerated the census of his (5th) district. He was elected clerk of the circuit court in 1882, and re-elected in 1886, filling the same with credit, and is one of the leading citizens of Clinton. He is a member of W.C. Carnes' Post, G. A. R., and of the Baptist Church. He was married in August, 1867, to Matilda A. Carden, who was born in Union County, Tenn., May 8, 1839, and is the daughter of Goldman and Rosa (Monroe) Carden, of Union County. To this union six children have been born, two of which are deceased. The mother is also a member of the Baptist Church.

Notes for Martha A. Brown:

I transcribed the following text from another transcription that I found with two pages on letter paper that I believe was in my grandmother Julia Sollars’ handwriting. The typed transcription had some additional notes, either from my mother or from her sister Edith.

Ray Hutchins Brundige, Jr. 29 Aug 2005

OBITUARY – Clipping from an Indiana newspaper (do not have particular name of newspaper or date of publication).

Martha Brown Foster was born near Clinton Tennessee in Anderson County. She departed this life December 24, 1917, aged 82, 10 months, and 18 days. Her early life was spent in Tennessee. About 1854, she was married to Enoch Foster, and to this union was born eleven children, six of whom yet survive: Harvey Foster on the home farm, Cates, Indiana; Sarah E. Hambright of Pine Village, Indiana; Scott Foster of Morencie, Michigan; Cassandra White of Danville, Illinois and Wiley Foster of Boswell, Indiana. The deceased members are Elbert S. Foster, who died at the age of 25, in 1877; Mary M. Witsman, who died October 14, 1883; Charles Foster, who died in childhood; Rosetta Foster, who died February 10, 1889. In the year 1866, the family moved to Indiana and have made this their permanent home. They bore the hardships of the early pioneers and toiled and sacrificed until they secured a home, having lived in the present location for over forty years. The father, Enoch Foster, departed this life February 16, 1886, leaving the mother to care for the children, this responsibility being undertaken with a characteristic of the women of her generation. We of the present generation would do well to stop and study the sterling character and worth of these pioneer mothers who are so rapidly passing away. Grandma Foster was a sympathetic, tender, loving companion, a true wife and devoted mother, not only to her own children, but to her grandchildren, as well, and of these, there were 32 and sixteen great grandchildren and one great-great grandchild. She was never too tired to care for any or all of these relatives, as well as to sacrifice for friends and neighbors. She united with the Baptist Church in childhood and believed in a life hidden with Christ in God.

<end of clipping>

She was married at 16 to a man who had six children by his first wife.

She also smoked a corn cob pipe.

Martha Brown Foster was the mother of Mary Malinda Foster Witsman, who was the mother of Mae Witsman Crothers who was the mother of Julia Crothers Sollars.

The clipping did not list six children living – only five – Julia Crothers thinks the other one may have been John Foster. It also listed only four deceased. (From Ray Brundige <brundige@iglou.com>)

From her death certificate:

b. 3 Feb 1835, TN; father William Brown, b. TN; mother unknown.

Name of husband: Enoch Foster

d. 24 Dec 1917, Fulton Township, Fountain County, IN of heart lesion, contributory cause rheumatism; age 92 years, 10 months, 21 days.

Buried on Harvey Foster farm, 25 Dec 1917.

Witness John Foster.

Note the death certificate’s birth date calculated from the given age and date of death does not agree with the stated birth date. The calculated value is 3 Feb 1825.

The calculated value from the obituary (below) is 6 Feb 1835. Census information gives her age in 1870 as 35, so 1835 is probably the correct year. I have confirmed the writing for the various dates on the original records, so the discrepancy remains. (From Ray Brundige)

Notes for William Enoch Foster:

Burial: Farm near Cates, Fountain Co, IN

Individual Note: Probably the Enoch FOSTER of IN mentioned in Joseph Abraham BROWN's Civil War pension file affidavit

Occupation: Farmer

From his death certificate:

v b. not stated, but age at death given as 65; hence born about 1821

v d. 16 Feb 1886, Fulton Township, Fountain County, IN, of consumption.

v Burial details not stated.

From an index to Tennessee marriages:

Enoch Foster married Martha Jane Overton on 22 Feb 1840 in Anderson County, TN

From the 1850 census for Subdivision 16, Anderson County, TN:

Enoch Foster, age 30, head of household, born in Tennessee

Martha, age 27, born in Tennessee

William, age 9, born in Tennessee

Angelina, age 6, born in Tennessee

James, age 4, born in Tennessee

Matthew, age 2, born in Tennessee

Rufus, age 6/12, born in Tennessee

From the 1870 census for Fulton Township, Fountain County, IN:

Enoch Foster, age 49, head of household, born in Tennessee

Martha, age 35, born in Tennessee

Rufus, age 20, born in Tennessee

Martha J, age 18, born in Tennessee

John B, age 14, born in Tennessee

Elbert, age 13, born in Tennessee

Mary M, age 11, born in Tennessee

Harvey, age 7, born in Tennessee

Sarah E, age 5, born in Tennessee (listed as Sarah in 1870 and Emma in 1880)

Milburn, age 4, born in Tennessee

Scott, age 1, born in Indiana

Rosetta, age 3/12, born in Indiana

Both Rufus and Enoch had aged approximately twenty years, but Martha had only aged seven years in the twenty-year interval. Of course, the original Martha (Overton) had died, some time after the birth of her last child, Martha J, who was born around 1852. The new Martha (Brown) had married Enoch and had started bearing his children. The 1880 census added two more: Cassandra, born around 1872, and Wiley, born around 1876.

So by the time of the 1880 census we have the six children from a previous wife: William, Angelina, James, Matthew, Rufus, and Martha J; Enoch and Martha Brown’s children mentioned in the obituary; and the missing children noted by the transcriber. The children from the obituary were: Elbert S, Mary M, Charles, and Rosetta, who died before Martha; and Harvey, Sarah Emma, Scott, Cassandra, and Wiley. The two missing children noted by the transcriber are therefore John and Milburn. Since John Foster was the witness on the death certificate, we assume Milburn was the missing child who died before Martha.

At least one other Enoch Foster was in Fountain County about the same time as the Marthas’ Enoch. The WPA index has an Enoch Foster marrying a Nancy Allen in Fountain County on 22 May, 1853; and an Enoch Foster is buried in Crowder Cemetery, with an inscription giving the date of death as Sept. 15, 1858, aged 27, 1 mo., and 14 days. My guess is that he could be the father of the Nancy M. Foster born in May of 1859 who married Stephen Crowder. Also an Enoch H. Foster married a Mary Gaskill in Warren County, just north of Fountain County, in 1846; and an Enoch W. Foster married a Mary McDade in Benton County, just north of Warren, in 1862.

Notes for Ephraim H. T. Brown:

In the 1870 census for Anderson County, TN, Foster BROWN, age 25, born TN is living next door to Malinda BROWN and Elender BROWN. He is married to Sarah A., 23, with son, John B. age 2. That suggests that Ephraim H. T.(or perhaps H. F.) is the same person as Foster BROWN. There is no Ephraim BROWN in MO in the 1870 census. Foster BROWN testified 22 Apr 1870 in Anderson County, TN, in the suit over William BROWN's estate. In one question, he was asked about something that might have occurred before his father died, so he was obviously William BROWN's son. My file shows that Ephraim/Foster died bef. 1876 in MO, but I do not remember the source of that information. If so, he must have moved to MO after 1870.

Notes for Judge William Richard Hicks:

1887 "History of TN; East TN" by Goodspeed (FHL book 976.8 H2ha Vol.2; SLC 9/7-8/1984; have copy all pages) (Pg.1113)

William R. Hicks, the subject of this sketch, is judge of the Second Judicial Circuit of Tennessee, and is one of the leading lawyers of Anderson County. He was born in Knox County, Tenn., December 16, 1842, and is the son of John H. and Elizabeth (Dail) Hicks. The father is a native of Tennessee, and was born in 1820. He is the son of Richard N. Hicks, who settled in the Sequatchie Valley at an early date. When a boy, our subject's father removed to Anderson County, and then to Knox, and later returned to Anderson COunty, where he has since resided, and followed farming. He was elected county trustee, in November 1872, and held that office for fourteen years in succession. The mother was born in Anderson County, in 1817, and is the daughter of William Dail, native of North Carolina. Our subject was reared on the farm, and attended the neighborhood schools. August 7, 1861, he enlisted in Company C, of the Second Federal Regiment Tennessee Infantry. He was captured at Rodgerville, Tenn., November 6, 1863, and confined in Confederate prisons, at Belle Isle, Libby and Andersonville, and September 9 1864, was removed to Charleston, SC, and finally discharged in the following December. While en route to Charleston he made his escape from the cars at Augusta, Ga., but, after walking sixty miles, was picked up by Confederate patrols and carried to prison again. He was mustered out of service, at Knoxville, in February 1865, and returned to his home in Anderson County. For a year following the war he farmed, and then decided to improve his education, and entered school at Bushy Fork. For a year he attended school at different places, and then began teaching. On March 19 1868 (his wedding day), he borrowed a copy of Blackstone, and began to read law. He was admitted to the bar, in 1872, and at once began practicing in Clinton, and continued until August 1886, when he was elected judge of the Second Judicial Circuit. He was married March 19, 1868, to Mary L Duncan, who was born June 6, 1816, daughter of Alfred Duncan, of Anderson County. To this union eight children have been born, four of whom are dead. Our subject and wife are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church. On March 3, 1881, Judge Hicks met with a railroad accident, near Clinton, by which he lost his right arm.

The inscription on his tombstone reads:

HIR LIGT BEGRABEN FRANTSS SAMMET ER IST GEBOHREN IM JAHR 1741 IM HORNUNG UND IST GESTORBEN DEN 27 HORNUNG ANNO 1818; TRANSLATED AS: " HERE LIES BURIED FRANTSS SAMMET. HE WAS BORN IN THE YEAR 1741 IN FEBRUARY AND HE DIED ON 27 FEBRUARY IN THE YEAR 1818".

At his death he owned 625 acres of land and personal property worth about $ 1,795.00 a weathy man of his time. There is no evidence that he ever owned any slaves.

Christian served as the Administrator of Francis' estate as the widow elected not to serve and obtained 250 acres of land as settlement. Three other brothers-Francis Jr., Daniel and John divided the rest. The five married daughters, their husbands and Jacob Summitt sold their interest in the land to the four brothers. Henry Summitt took his inheritance out of the personal property of the estate and it is believed that Betsy, unmarried did also. Information compiled by Paul Summitt.

Children of Francis SUMMIT and Dolly ABERNATHY are:

i. Christian Summit, born 30 May 1769 in Lincoln (formerly Tyron) Co , NC; died 18 Apr 1865 in Stinesville, Monroe, IN; married (1) Catherine Link 06 Apr 1802; born Bef. 1770; died Oct 1802 in Lincoln Co., (Tyron Co.), NC; married (2) Elizabeth Masters 09 Jun 1803 in Lincoln Co, NC; born 17 Jan 1781 in NC; died 14 Mar 1845 in Beanblossom Twp, Monroe Co, IN; married (3) Hannah Cornwell 12 Apr 1846 in IN; born 09 May 1801 in KY; died 20 Aug 1870.

Notes for Christian Summit:

Christian sold his land in Lincoln Co. NC in 1827 and bought land in Monroe Co. IN December 3th 1827. He is listed in the NC census 1820 and as a residence of Monroe Co. IN in the 1830 Census.

It is stated that the Summitts, Stines and Grounds came to Indiana abt 1827 and founded the St. John Luthern Church ( same name as church in NC ,) services were held in the homes. The first bldg was built about 1835 on land provided by Christian for the sum of $ 4 and 371/2 cents . It was a two story log church with weather board siding. It had a unique semi-circular arrangement on both the first and second levels to permit speaking to both levels from a central location in the long south wall. Apparently controversy within the community resulted in a severed connection with the Lutheran Church in the early 1900's and became known as the Old Dutch Church reflecting the German community making up the membership and it is noted the Church shall never have connections to organized Religions. The stone foundation of the orginal building still stands.

Lavina is his daughter by first marriage to Catherine Link, believed to have died in child birth.

34. Francis M. MOSER I, born 15 Mar 1763 in Monocacy, Frederick Co, MD; died 22 Oct 1836 in Monroe County, TN. He was the son of 68. Leonard MOSER and 69. Maria Sarah BENKELE. He married 35. Elizabeth MILLER Abt. 1790.

35. Elizabeth MILLER, born Abt. 1765 in Graceham, Frederick, Maryland; died Abt. 1816. She was the daughter of 70. Johan MILLER and 71. Eva DOE.

Notes for Francis M. MOSER I:

Francis Moser was born in Monocacy, MD in 1763. In 1779 he was residing in Surry Co, NC, and volunteered in the Revolutionary War. In 1782 he marched with General Washington across the Potomac and was a witness to the surrender of Cornwallis. Francis was in the Battle of Camden. When a friend, Jacob Spoontower, was unable to serve in the war, Francis volunteered in his place. He also served in the Maryland Militia a few months. From Monroe County Heritage Book, p. 337.

In the Rev. War pension application of Francis Mosier (Moser) filed on 20 Sep 1820 from Monroe Co. TN he stated after the Rev. War, he lived in Frederick Co. MD for 3 years. He then returned to Surry Co. NC for 2 years where he had enlisted in the NC Line, moved to Lincoln Co. NC for 30 years, moved to Greene Co. TN for 1 year, moved to Jefferson Co. TN for 10 years and in 1830 he moved to Monroe Co. TN. He said he was born in Frederick Co. MD in 1763 and married Polly Sipes in 1820. His widow also filed an application in 1853 and indicated he died in 1836 in Monroe Co. TN. From this info I have been able to trace this Francis Moser back to the Leonard Moser family at Graceham MD where the birth of him and his five brothers and one sister are recorded at Graceham Moravian Church. The widow of his older brother Michael also filed a pension application from Stokes Co. NC in 1839 and provided info on Michael and Samuel who served in the MD line and Henry who were the sons of Leonard Moser of Frederick Co. MD. From the Graceham records are the dates of birth: Michael b. Ag 1, 1759, Samuel b. Ap 11, 1761, Francis b. Mr 15, 1763, Christian b. Ja 5, 1765, Anna Eliz. b. Ja 30, 1767, Henry b. Se 12, 1769 and Joseph b. Jl 21, 1772. The communion records at St. James Church have Fransz Moser next to Peter Moser on Sept. 1816 which fits into the time line from the application if the end of the war is 1781. The communion records also have a Frank Mohser and wife on April 1818. This fits if the end of the war is taken as 1783 which is more likely since it fits closer to the date of movement to Jefferson Co. TN in 1820. Also in the records are Peter Moser and w. Magdalena (1813 to 1820), Johannes Moser and wife Barbara (1816 to 1820), Wilhelm Moser (1818 communion), Jacob Moser (1818 communion) and Elisabetha Moser (1814 member). Are these children of Francis Moser? There records of birth are probably in Lincoln Co. NC where Francis lived prior to coming to TN. Has anyone checked this out?

A history of the Leonard Moser family appears in "Monocacy and Catoctin" vol.III by C.E. Schildknecht p.64-65. He arrived in Philadelphia on the ship Adventure in 1732 and settled in N. Maryland.

Notes for Margaret M. LYERLY:

CONRAD’S WIFE: (No marriage record, time or place, to 2006)

Conrad Keicher’s will says “MY WIFE, MARGARET”. We know nothing more about his wife (or if he was married before) until they are in Tennessee. Donna and I believe that she was the daughter of Johann Christopher Layrle. The name in Rowan Co. today is spelled Lyerly. The will of Christopher Layrle names three daughters, Margaret, Barbara and Catherine. The Lyerly Family History knows nothing more about MARGARET. Her sister, Barbara, married Rev. Adolphus Nussman as his second wife about 1779. Sister Catherine married Frederick Grimminger in 1882.

The following abstracts are from books of researchers using the spelling as they deciphered from the original records. A different person may spell it another way in their abstracts. After some of your own study of the people in Rowan and Cabarrus Counties, you will know who these people are and their true German spelling.

Here are the clues for making the assumption that Margaret Keicher was a Layrle:

6 May 1786 - The will of Christopher Lyardly is proved by George Henry Berger, Michael Brown & Conrod Kyger -- Exrs: Conrad Keiker & Frederick Grimmace.

2 May 1786”Admistration on the estate of Frederick Griminger deed, issued to John Rantkeman and Conrod Kyger…….

19 Jan 1895 Cabarrus Co., NC. The last will and testament of Adolph Nussman deceased was proved in open court by Oath of Niclaus Ridenhour, as Evidence thereto. The Executor of the Said will to Wit: Robert Linn & Conrad Kucher (Nussman was the minister at Buffaloe Church; St John’s today in Cabarrus Co. just below Rowan Co.)

20 April 1895. Ordered by the court that Paul Nussman an Orphan of the said Rev’d Adolph Nussman be bound to Conrad Kuiker a Blacksmith for and during the term of three years to learn the art and Mystery of a Blacksmith; the said Master obliging himself to pay unto the said apprentice the Sum of ten pounds and a set of Smith tools fit to Shoe a horse. Paul Nussman was the stepson of Barbara Layrle Nussman. (A child whose father died was called an orphan and was warded out to learn a trade or homemaking; males to age 21 and girls to age 18)

14 Aug 1797 Rowan Co: Jacob Lyerly, (brother of Margaret), signed as a witness to the deed when Conrad sold to Christian Kiker. (This is when Conrad Keicher moved to TN)

Barbara and James named a son John Kiker Chandler born 1817. The Chandlers moved on to Sevier Co., TN. (From Keicher-Kiker-Kyker Family Newsletter #17, July 2006, p.3)

ix. Peter Keicher, born 25 Nov 1797 in Washington Co, TN; died Aft. 1860; married Elizabeth Peters.

Notes for Peter Keicher:

He is listed with the notes in Conrad’s will but he and family seemed to disappear. I do not see him on the Emmanuel Lutheran Church records. Peter married Elizabeth Peters in Greene Co. 5 Feb 1824 at St. James Lutheran Church. This is about the same time that brother, John, moves to Greene Co.

About the only Greene Co., record is a 1849 deed where he is listed as a guardian for 6 Keicher children in the sale of land that probably was his father in law’s estate. Elizabeth died in 1841 in IN.

(From Keicher-Kiker-Kyker Family Newsletter #17, July 2006, p. 3)

Peter moved to IN in the 1830s. His son, David, went to Springdale, AR.

41. Catherine SMITH, born 1772 in PA; died 24 Sep 1836 in Sullivan Co, TN.

Notes for George Conrad WOLFORD:

George was the son of Conrad a vet of the Amer Rev from PA & MD. When Conrad died his son George became the ward of J. Frederick Woolford, potter, of Woodstock, Shenandoah Co, Virginia who m 1st (I think most likely in Lichtenau, Germany) Elizabeth, m 2nd Mrs Catherine Lieb of PA. The proof of this is in the court records for that county. They are on the Shenandoah Co Genweb page. Nancy J. Silkey personal communication.

Notes for Jacob DROKE, Jr.:

"Jacob Droke, Jr., built the log cabin home for his family in 1796. He and the family were log cabin builders, farmers, and German carpentry artisans. The cabin (1996) today is in excellent condition.

Jacob Droke, Jr., was responsible for the Droke Schoolhouse which later became known as the Cold Springs County School. The Morrell's Mill known today was the former Droke Mill. Also, Jacob, in that period, operated a store in the now vicinity of Silvicola.

More is known on the mill than the school or store. The mill was located on Ready Creek. Tradition has it that his operation was in the Muddy Creek area. Blountville was in the Muddy Creek area and likely was the trading center for Jacob's business dealings."

Notes for John Henry HARR:

John, along with his half brother, David, moved from Shenandoah Co., VA to Sullivan Co., TN in 1807-1808 settling in the area northwest of Blountville, TN, in the vincinity of Immanuel Lutheran Church on the Old Reedy Creek Road, presently near the intersection of road #37 and U. S. Highway 11-W. John lived near the Drokes who lived on lands adjoining Immanuel Lutheran Church.

On March 13, 1879 Ancil Lee Merritt and his brother Lewis Merritt went to the Clerk of the District Court in Troy KS to give an account of their family in support of their mother's application for a pension based on their father's service in the War of 1812. (Note that Edward's service was in that war, but as he died in 1866, his file got gathered up, filed and indexed with the Civil War Pension Files). Unfortunately for both of us, their statement tells us, among other things, when and how the family Bible disappeared.

-quote without some spelling oddities and more capitalization than ANYONE needs-

That we well remember seeing a record of the marriage of our father and our mother Sarah H. & Edward Merritt. Our father was not a scholar. The family records were kept by our grandfather (our mother's father) Robert Carden. It was kept in his Bible and he kept the Bible in his house until his death which was in 1848 (we think) and when he died it was given to our sister Nancy wife of Joseph Wyrick and she kept it until her death which was in 1855 (we think). Then our brother James (being the best scholar in the family) got the Bible and kept it until his death, which was in August 1858. Then it was kept by his widow, who got married to the Rev. Daniel Richardson. She died in 1862 and Richardson sold out and left the country {sic}. Our father and mother took our brother James five orphan children into their home but we cannot tell what became of Richardson nor the old family Bible and family records. Said Bible was of the old style of type, the fs and s's being alike and was a sacred relic to us all.

(Information provided by Victoria Sullivan, a descendant of Edward MERRITT and Sarah Hazeltine CARDEN, based on her copy of the widow's pension file of Sarah Hazeltine (Carden) MERRITT, in the National Archives in Washington, DC.)

viii. Rebecca Carden, born 1806 in NC (shown as VA in 1850 Grainger Co, TN, census); married Asa Evans; born Abt. 1806 in NC.

Notes for Asa Evans:

1840 census for Grainger County, TN 101001 - 11001

Asa EVANS was a head of household in the 1840 Grainger County census with a (presumed) wife and 4 (presumed) children. He was not listed as a head of household in the 1830 census and may have been in another household. There were only 3 children in the Asa EVANS household in the1850 census who were born before the 1840 census, so one of the children may have died or married. The oldest child from the 1850 census was born about 1835, so Asa and Rebecca were married before 1835 but after the 1830 census. The CARDEN family was in Grainger County in 1830. The last previous location for them was the 1810 Stokes County, NC, census. I don't know where they were in 1820. They could have been in TN, but, to my knowledge, there is no surviving census for TN for 1820. There were 11 heads of household with the surname EVANS in the 1830 Grainger County census; however, there was no household with a male in the 20-30 age bracket (in which Asa should have been) who was not the head of household.

Deed transfer dated 1843 in which Warhaw Easley, Jr. sold land to Asa Evans. The deed would have been recorded in Grainger County deed book J, page 71.

In the 1850 Grainger Co, TN, census, there is a William EVANS, age 22, farmer, living next door, who could be a relative of Asa and Rebecca - perhaps a younger brother or a son from a previous marriage. His household includes Luanna, 33, F, born TN; John, 5, M, born TN; Robert, 3, M, born TN; and, Asa, 1, M, born TN.

50. John MONROE, born 1786 in VA; died Aft. 05 Jun 1860 in Grainger Co, TN. He was the son of 100. Robert MONROE and 101. Janie Rosannah PUCKETT. He married 51. Anne Eave WYRICK 24 Nov 1812 in Grainger Co, TN by brother, George MONROE.

51. Anne Eave WYRICK, born 1787 in VA; died 1850 in TN. She was possibly the daughter of 102. Henry Wyrick and 103. Eve Creager.

Notes for John MONROE:

Just looking thru an old book by August Barnhouse, I found some insert pages which weren't listed in the index. All it says is that John MONROE was born 1786 in Virginia and on 24 Nov. 1812 married Anne Eave WYRICK. The marriage was performed by his brother and Baptist minister, George MONROE. Sources, 1830 and 1850 Census of Grainger Co., Marriage records of Grainger Co., and Don Carden, 420 S. Wilson, Olympia, WA 98501. The only Pryor I can find in either my files or the Barnhouse book is Pryon L., B. 1824-25, son of John MONROE and Anne Eave WYRICK. Other children of this couple include, Rosannah, Levi A., Levisa and Mahala. According to the references, these come from the 1830 and 1850 census of Grainger Co, and the Marriage Records of Grainger County P. 57. John was born C 1786 in Virginia, the last of the four first children of Robert and Rosanna? (Earlene Hutsell, personal communication)

The county court was organized on February 6, 1854, at Liberty meeting-house, in what is now Maynardville. The first circuit court for Union County was begun and held at Liberty Meeting-house by Judge Robert H. Hynds. The grand jury empaneled at that term was as follows. <clip> John Monroe, (from Goodspeed's History of Union County, TN).

Based on the ages shown in the 1850-1860 censuses, John MONROE's birth year appears to be 1789-1790. The 40-50 age bracket where he was enumerated in the 1830 census and the 50-60 age bracket in the 1840 are both compatible with either a 1786 or a 1790 birth year.

CAPTAINS: John Bayless, Samuel Bowman, Joseph Calloway, John Chiles, Jesse Cole, Robert Doak, James Gillespie, William Mitchell, Rufus Morgan, Simeon Perry, Daniel Price, Jehu Stephens, James Tedford

BRIEF HISTORY:

Muster rolls show this regiment at Fort Strother in early November 1813 and at Fort Armstrong in late November of the same year. The regiment, in the brigade commanded by General James White, helped attack a tribe of Creek Indians known as the Hillabees on 18 November 1813 where sixty-eight Creeks were killed and about 250 taken prisoner. Unbeknownst to the Americans, the Hillabees had sued Jackson for peace the day before the attack. Actually, a detachment of Cherokees friendly to the United States did most of the fighting -- there were no American casualties. <http://www.state.tn.us/sos/statelib/pubsvs/1812reg.htm>

CASE OF WILLIAM B. CARNS

Brief in the case of William B. Carnes of Granger County Tennessee, an applicant for an invalid pension, on account of disability received in the war of 1812.

John Cooke states that he commanded the East Tennessee troops at Fort Armstrong, Alabama, that he gave orders for work to be done in the fall; that while it was prospering, Dr. King the surgeon, brought to his tent a man who had been injured while engaged in hard work and treated him for hernia, and from the statement of the applicant, he believes him to be the same man. Another witness states that he was a fellow soldier with the applicant at the time, and was present when he was injured and saw him receive a hurt in the left side, the rim of his belly broken and ruptured while loading some timber on Jacob Bishop’s wagon at Fort Armstrong, about the 7th of November 1813.

Two physicians state that he is laboring under Inguinal Hernia and wholly incapacitated from doing labor on a farm, which is his only means of support, and that he would endanger his life to do such labor. Since whereby the rolls from the 23rd of Sepr. 1813 to the 23rd of December 1813. And the credibility of the parties whereby the certificate of Wm. Anase Maynau.

LEVI ADKINS

(page 24)

Elder Levi Adkins was born ______, February 20, 1794. He was married to Elizabeth George, and together they reared a family of eleven children, six sons and five daughters. He and his wife, Elizabeth, were constituent members of Bethel Church, Anderson County, which was organized with sixteen members, March 29, 1833. He was licensed to preach by Bethel Church, in May, 1842. The date of his ordination and ordaining council I have not been able to ascertain. In 1849 he became pastor of Bethel Church, and continued pastor until 1865. He was also pastor of Bethany, Graveston, and Milan churches. He was moderator of the Clinton Association from 1864 to 1869, successor to Joshua Frost and succeeded by J. C. Hutson. Brother Adkins was a plain old-fashioned preacher of the simple gospel, lived his religion, had the confidence of the people, and was instrumental in leading many souls to the Savior. He lived about five miles from Andersonville.

March 30, 1877, having fought the good fight of faith and having finished his course with joy, he fell on sleep, and was buried in the Bethel Church Cemetery, where sleeps the dust of other faithful "ministers of the World"

Rev. R. L. M. Wallace, of near Clinton, clerk of Bethel Church and clerk and colporter of the Clinton Association, one of my fellow-helpers, is a great-grandson of Elder Levi Adkins.

Names of persons known to have been living in the territory later to become TN: DUNCAN: John, John Jr., Joseph, Rachel, Rawley, Rice and William.

He was not listed on the 1795 Washington Co. TN tax list; he lived in Bold Valley, Anderson Co. TN 1802 (tax list); in Anderson Co. TN until 1815 (Anderson Co. TN Court Minutes 1801-1809, and Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions 1814-1819); bought land from William Cobb, witnessed by Thomas Davis (title bond recorded 9 Oct. 1815 in Anderson Co. TN Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions 1814-1819, pg. 55); not located on 1830 census indexes; died after 6 Oct. 1832 when he and his brothers Marshall, William and John sold their shares of brother Robert's land on Knob Creek to Henry Bashor, a neighbor (Washington Co. TN Deed Book 19, pg. 447). As yet he has not been located later.

He may have had the following son, who lived in Anderson Co. TN in 1830 and named children Luraney and Charles, but there is NO PROOF since there were other Duncan families in the area. Also, Alfred Duncan is listed as a son of Benjamin Duncan and Mary Davis, by other descendants of Benjamin. However, at least one other descendant of Marshall Duncan the Elder was named Alfred; see 7.3.3.

Notes for John M. Leach, Jr.:

The following information was supplied by Robert Lee LEACH, 2nd great grandson:

The birth dates and children were taken from the 1850 & 1860 Campbell Co., TN census.

The marriage date is from "Campbell Co., TN Marriages 1831-1881" by Byron and Barbara Sistler, Nashville, TN, Nov 1984. This is the only document that has a middle initial, "M' for John Leach.

The book "Historical Leach Cemetery" is the only document that shows John as a "Jr." There is no proof that John is theson of the John in Anderson County. John Sr. is credited with beginning this family cemetery on his property in the Coal Creek area, now Lake City, TN. John Sr is probably buried there but his grave is not marked. Many graves in those times were only marked by field stones.

Notes for Jacob SAMMET:

It is not confirmed that Jacob is the Father of Francis Summitt. Jacob is the only confirmed passenger on the ship "Beulah" ( Captain Richey ) arriving from Rotterdam by the way of Cowes, England. Francis being a minor would not have been normally listed. The ship qualified for entry on Monday, September 10, 1753. A list of the men on board consisted of eight Catholics and the rest Lutheran, including Jacob. The qualifying list indicates a mark "X" beside Jacob's name thought to be a medical qualification or perhaps his X because he could not write. It is noted that the ship was freighted with Palatines from Rotterdam.

The name Jacob Sammet shows up in Earl Township in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania and later ( ca. 1775-1778) is found in the Northern Neck of Virginia in Hampshire County ( now West VA ).

It is also speculated that the Jacob Sammit is in fact Frantz Sammet

79. Elizabeth Christina ?, born 1714; died Abt. 1769.

Notes for Johann Christopher LAYRLE:

Margaret Layrle (Lyerly) was d/o Johann Christoph Layrle (1710 - 1786) who immigrated 1754 to the port of Philadelphia; his wife was Elizabeth Christina (LNU)(bef. 1714 - abt. 1769). They came from the area of Lake Constanz on the Swiss-German border. He remained German to the end: his will, quoted in Carl Hammer's "Rhinelanders on the Yadkin", provides that one of his sons will be included in the inheritance provided he marries a girl of German nationality, otherwise not. He bought land in Culpeper County, VA in May 1757, and left there for central NC sometime in 1765 or shortly after. He seems to have been one of the founding members of what was first Hickory, then Organ, now Zion Lutheran Church in Rowan Co, NC. In 1772 Layerle, of Buffalo Creek, and another member (Rentelmann) were sent back to Germany to secure a pastor. There were three daughters (including Margaret) and four sons that I know of. Johann was s/o Solomon Layrla b.c. 1681.

The will was in German and was translated by Dr. Carl Hammer, JR (professor of German, Texas Tecnological College) in his 1943 book “The Rhindlanders On The Yadkin” (Yadkin River; Conrad’s 324 acres touched it at 2nd Dutch Creek).

WILL OF JOHANN CHRISTOPH LAYRLE (LYERLY) Rowan Co., NC 1784

(Im nahmen der Heiligen Dreiningheit, Amen. Ich, Johann Christo Layrle, pflanzer in der Grafshaft Rowan, …….., )

In the name of the Holy Trinity, Amen.

I, John Christopher Layrle, a planter in Rowan County, in St. Luke’s Parish at State of North Carolina, have been ill now for a considerable time with a malignant disease, but, thank God, in good and right mind. And because my death is quite certain, the hour, however, uncertain. It is necessary that after my death, no contention may arise among my heirs, but that everything shall be negotiated according to this my last will and testament; therefore, I command at this time, first, my soul to God the Father, Who gave it, to Jesus. Who redeemed it, to the Holy Goast, Who consecrated it in holy baptism; my body to the earth and to my friends for a Christian burial. My own estate shall, after payment of my lawful debts, be divided among my heirs as follows:

First, I bequeath and give to my beloved wife, Anna Mary Catherine Layrle, first, her right of domicile in the room, second, the bed; third, the chest, with all the linen, and the cloths that I brought along from Germany; fourth, one cow, and then comes her third part in the movables. The management of her affairs, as long as she remains a widow, I entrust to men chosen by her and my son, Jacob Layrle himself, when he comes of age.

Second, to my eldest son, Zacharius Layrle, because he, when he reached his majority, he received a mare, a cow and calf, but shamefully lost them by gambling and drinking and entered upon a very godless life, indeed, even cursed his father and laid hands upon him and threw him to the ground. I leave one shilling sterling and exclude him from everything else.

Third, my son, Peter Layrle, because he left his father for a considerable time and also leads a dissolute life; notwithstanding, if he marries a wife of German nationality, he shall have a house and fifty acres of land, on both sides of the creek, toward east and west. Should he marry, however, against my will, into another nationality, then he shall not have any land, but the young horse and nothing more. If he should receive land, however, he will get no horse or cow ahead of the others, but will enter into an equal division with his brothers and sisters.

Fourth, to the one who goes under my name as Christopher Layrle, because he left me in his sixteenth year of his life and is a natural son of his mother and also has received his sixty pounds, I bequeath, for the sake of his deceased mother, one shilling sterling yearly in addition.

Fifth, to my youngest son, Jacob Layrle, I bequeath my plantation, farmhouse, and whatever belongs with it, of which he can take possession in 1787, then also whatever he shall have spent for the care of his stepmother, who is given into his charge; until then everything shall remain together.

If, however, his brother Peter should legally marry against his father’s will, then he, Jacob, alone shall have all such land as is designated in the will, but he, Jacob Layrle, shall be obligated to pay thirty pounds to his three sisters in five years time, when he comes of age.

Sixth, my three daughters, Margaret, Barbara, and Catherine, shall share equally the movable goods. As executor of this my will, I appoint and authorize Conrad Friedrick, and there shall be no official sale held earlier than in August, 1787, when Jacob will have reached his majority.

And this is my last will and testament, written with my own hand, according to my conscience, as truly as I am living, shall die, and desire to look upon the face of God, in Whose name I have begun, this 12 th day of October, 1784. This is a true copy of my last will and testament, certified by my own hand.

"Keicher*Kiker*Kyker Family Newsletter, #7, August 2005, by Richard Kyker

Johann Christopher Layarle was born near Lake (Contance) near the Swiss-German Border in the southern part of the Dutchy or Dukedom of Wurttemberg. His parents are not known for certain. He may have been the son of Solomon Layrle born 1681, and the grandson of Jacob Layrle.

Johann arrived at the port of Philadelphia on 30 September 1754 aboard the ship Richard and Mary, John Moore, Master; out of Rotterdam and last from Cowes (a British Port, as the ship was of British Registry). He was one of Ninety-one qualified passengers, all males, former inhabitants of the Dukedom of Wurttenberg. ("all males" = women and children not listed)

His activities are unknown until a record of his son, Zachariah's birth, on 2 June 1756, in Culpeper, Virginia. His wife was Elizabeth Christina. His last known land sale in Virginia was on 18 July 1765 to Mumford Stevens; his wife, Barbara Layrle signed.

He must have moved on to North Carolina. In 1772 the members of Organ Lutheran Church in Rowan County, NC sent Christopher Layrle and Christopher Rintlemann as deputies of the congregation to secure a minister and a school teacher. They returned with Adolphus Nussmann as minister and as school teacher Johann Godfrey Ahrends in 1773. This meant at least three trips across the Atlantic for Layrle.

In the will of Johann Layrle, only the first names of his three daughters were given; Margaret, Catherine, and Barbara. No one knows their birth dates. Barbara married Rev. Adolph Nussman, as his second wife, c. 1779 or 1780 and gave him four children. Catherine married Fredrick Grimminger in 1782 and gave him two sons. Fredrick Grimminger, SR. died in 1786 and his will was probated in 1788 with Catherine's last name being Erenhart along with her two sons, Fredrick and Christpher Grimminger. Layrle researchers says that Margaret remains a mystery (1992). But many clues give indication that this is the Margaret that married Conrad Keicher, SR. Her brother, Jacob witnessed Conrad's deed and Conrad was warded the son of Barbara when her husband, Adolph died, "to teach him the blacksmith trade".

Notes for Laurence SNAPP, Sr.:

Lawrence Snapp came to Pennsylvania in 1733 on the ship Samuel out of Rotterdam. He was 10 years old at that time. Shortly thereafter he moved with his parents to the Opequon settlement of Jost Hite in northern Virginia near present day Stephens City. About 1745 he married Margaret Stephens (there is no proof that Margaret was a Stephens or a Gaines, but it should be noted that family tradition of one branch of the Snapp family indicates she was a Gaines.) Evidence seems to indicate that Margaret is the daughter of Peter Stephens however. "The Snapp and Stephens families lived in the same neighborhood, they stood as sponsors at baptisms for each others children, they had property dealings and the names of some of the children of Lawrence and Margaret reflect the same names found in the Stephens family. Also it would be highly unusual for the Germans to marry outside of their own group in this generation and Gaines is believed to be an English name" (reasoning of Daniel Bly). Lawrence purchased or rented a small farm near his father. About 1754 he moved to Strasburg in what is now Shenandoah Co. VA where he became a merchant of general supplies. About 1764 he purchased Jacob Funk's mill on Tumbling Run sometimes known as Snapp's Mill Run (approx. 1 mile west of Strasburg). Soon he would begin a series of other land purchases (see below). Shortly thereafter he became an Elder of St. Paul's Lutheran Church and with the creation of Dunmore Co. in 1772 (eventually to become Shenandoah Co.) he was elected a vestryman of Beckford Parish. The stone dwelling which he purchased of the Funk heirs, newly erected by them in 1762, stands today at its original site. The building is mentioned in his will as his dwelling house adjacent to the mill. His business was already moderately successful at the beginning of the Revolution. From 1776 to 1778 he with 3 sons lived and worked in Philadelphia where, according to local history in Shenandoah Co, it is believed they sold supplies to the Continental Army at Valley Forge and New Jersey and may have known Baron Von Steuben. Apparently he made large profits, returning home in 1780 he settled at Tumbling Run and in 1781 he purchased more land in Shenandoah Co. and let his sons run his store in Strasburg. He died May 1782 at Tumbling Run. A large part of this Snapp farm at Tumbling Run later became the site of the Battle of Fisher's Hill in the Civil War.

In the pastor's study, St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Strasburg hangs an old parchment signed by Lord Fairfax, whereby 200 acres of land on the west side of the "North River of Shenandoah" were granted on December 23, 1771, to Hieronomus Baker, Martin Roller, Laurence Snapp, and Henry Felkner, elders of the Lutheran Church and congregation. The records of this church indicate that a building was erected in 1769. this was probably the first church house built by the Lutherans at this place. It is probable that a church building which stood in the vicinity in 1747 and thereabout was the joint property of the Lutherans and the Reformed."

Notes for John Snapp, Sr.:

John Snapp was a Revolutionary War soldier (as were most of his brothers) in Capt. John Tipton's Company of Dunmore, Shenandoah County, Militia with the rank of Ensign (see Revolutionary War Records - Virginia by Brumbaugh). He was also a Tax collector for Lord Fairfax. He sold horses to George Washington. He was appointed a Justice of the Peace by Governor Patrick Henry on August 27, 1778 in Shenandoah Co. About 1790 he purchased 694 acres on Mill Creek, Rockingham County, Virginia (named Meadow View). This land he purchased fromThomas Stephenson the son of John Stephenson, the earliest settler in the Mill Creek Valley. At that time he was one of the largest landowners in Rockingham Co. By an Act of Assembly passed December 7, 1791 he was made a trustee of the newly formed town of Keezletown along with George Houston and five other citizens. (Henings Statutes, Vol. 13, p. 297). In 1792 he was granted an ordinary (tavern) license at this home on Mill Creek. This land and tavern were later sold to David Kyle. July 26, 1793 he purchased an additional 275 Acres and in February 1815 sold 352 acres for $18,500. October 20, 1814 he purchased 296 acres for $1,000.00 on both sides of Limestone Creek, Washington County, Tennessee near Greene County. His daughter, Susannah Snapp, married George Houston, uncle to Sam Houston.

ii. Laurence Snapp, Jr., born 1748 in Frederick Co, VA; died Dec 1824 in Sullivan Co, TN; married Margaret Hopkins Abt. 1767 in VA; born Abt. 1749.

Notes for Laurence Snapp, Jr.:

A merchant in Woodstock, VA. Served in Captain Alexander Machir's Company from the Strasburg District during the Revolutionary War as an Ensign, later promoted to Captain. Moved his family to Sullivan Co., TN by 1797. In 1783 Census of Shenandoah County, Virginia there was a Lawrence Snapp family with 9 white members and 4 black members. In the 1785 Census of Shenandoah County of Virginia, the family was at 10 white members with 1 dwelling and 2 other buildings. Lawrence Snapp, Sr. bequeathed to Lawrence Snapp, Jr. 413 acres (part of a 1791 acre tract near Fishers Hill). Lawrence, Jr. and his wife Margaret sold this 413 acre tract to their son John for 500 pounds on April 26, 1788. (Shenandoah County Deed Book G, Page 175 & Deed Book C, p. 360). The Library of Virginia has certain records in digital form, concerning various land transactions, that occurred in the State of Virginia. One of those records is in the Snapp Family Book & concerns a land transaction involving Lawrence Snapp. The contents are as follows: Lawrence Snapp, on the 31st day of December, 1792 purchased 84 acres in Shenandoah County, Virginia, on the drains of Snapps Mill Run adjoining his own, and Daniel Shavers land. The record of this transaction is to be found in the Northern Neck Grants Book N (1792-1795) on Pages 161 & 162. (13530)

Lawrence Snapp, Jr. and his six children and their families started migrating to Sullivan County, Tennessee shortly after 1795. It is not known at this time when Lawrence Snapp, Jr. first purchased land in Sullivan County, Tennessee as no deed was recorded there, but on September 13, 1798 " Laurence Snapp of Shenandoah County, Virginia, conveyed to John Tipton (Lawrences son-in-law, married to Lawrence's daughter Elizabeth) for $4000, the plantation or tract of land of 600 acres, together with all houses, buildings & improvements thereto, whereon the said John Tipton now lives. Sullivan county Deed Book 3, Pages 402-03. This 600 acres was part of a Land Grant originally given to a James Brigham in 1782. 30 acres of this land was conveyed by Lawrence Snapp, Jr. in 1792 to three Commissioners appointed by the Sullivan County Court, to erect a courthouse, prison and stocks and also to lay off the plan for a town. This town is what is now known as Blountville, the County Seat of Sullivan County.

In the Snapp Family Book is a copy of a Deed of Conveyance from Volume C. Page 347, Tennessee State Library & Archives : Microfilm Roll #165, Register of Deeds, Deed & Trust Deeds, Vol. A1-C1, January 1801-January 1812. The Deed is from Lawrence Snapp to John Tipton for 1000 acres on Emery River, lying in Roane County, Tennessee. The Execution of the Deed, dated June 15, 1802, was approved in the August (1802) Sessions of Sullivan County, Tennessee.

The Snapp Family book has a copy of the Acts of the 1st Session of the 6th General Assembly of the State of Tennessee (1805). Chapter XXX, page 28, dated October 30. 1805, outlines a request of Lawrence Snapp, Jr. to build a warehouse near his ferry, on his own land and on the main road leading from Blountville, Sullivan County, Tennessee to Greeneville, Greene County, Tennessee. The purpose of the warehouse was to provide a place for the inspection of flour, beef, pork and all other such produce.

Notes for Micheal Spiggle:

Michael Spiggle bought 265 acres of land from his brother-in-law, John Snapp (Schnepf), in Shenandoah Co., VA in 1783. He is listed on 1783 and 1785 Shenandoah Co., VA tax lists. In 1789, he sold the Snapp land to George Haun. It was about this same time, that Michael Spiggle bought Hildebrand Inabnet's Sandy Hook tract.

96. John CARDEN, born 1731 in Mecklenburg Co, VA. He was the son of 192. David CARDEN.

Notes for John CARDEN:

There is a John Carden Sr. listed on a "Poll List for Mecklenburg Co., on 14 April 1777. Also there is a John Carden (Estate) listed for 1787, not tithable, but having 2 horses and 9 cattle. According to Branch Carden, this John was born around 1731 in Mecklenburg County, VA. The name of his wife and his death is unknown. The vestry book of St. James parish indicates that he was a member of that parish and a tither in 1764. He owned land in Mecklenburg. There are two early deeds on record. One dated 1760 in which Seth Moore of the County of Lunenburg sold to John Carden of the same county, 250 acres in Lunenburg County, bounded on one side by Henry Tally and on the other sides by branches. Said deed recorded May 6, 1760 in deed book 6, pages 59 and 60. On October 10, 1764 Seth Moore of the County of Lunenburg sold to John Carden of the same county 200 acres in Lunenburg County on the Long Branch of Allen's Creek. Said deed recorded Oct 11, 1764 in deed book 8, pages 362-364. Allen's Creek is located in present day Mecklenburg County which County was cut off from Lunenburg. John married about 1750. Correspondence with the clerks of court of Lunenburg and Mecklenburg failed to turn up his will. However, the indices of deeds and marriages in Mecklenburg County reveal some information about his children. I do not know exactly how many children he had but the census of 1783 counted him as head of a household of 8 people. Of his children, I have information on five of them:

John, Jr. born around 1752.

Leonard, born around 1754.

Reuben, born around 1756. (IF this is his correct date of birth, he was over

100 when he died in the Poor House in Orange County, NC)

Robert, born around 1758.

Mary, born around 1760.

None of these children remained in Mecklenburg County for long after their marriage. The census records of 1830 and 1850 do not show any members of the family remaining in the County.

Children of John CARDEN were as follows:

2 i John2 CARDEN (Jr.), born abt 1752 in, Mecklenburg Co., Virginia. John Carden was listed on a "Poll List" on 14 April 1777. A John Carden, Jr. was head of a household of 5 people in Mecklenburg Co., VA in 1783. A John Carden, Jr. was listed on the 1787 tax roll for Mecklenburg Co., VA having 1 black under 16, 3 horses and 6 cattle, and a female Negro, Milly. See notes from Branch Carden under his father's name.

3 ii Leonard2 CARDEN, born abt 1754 in Mecklenburg County, Virginia. Leonard Carden was head of a household of 5 people and 1 slave in Mecklenburg Co., VA in 1783.

4 iii Robert2 CARDEN, born 1760/65 in Mecklenburg County, Virginia; died before 1850 in Tennessee. It is doubtful that this is the Robert that married Lockey Hunt, as he would have been between 22 and 27 years old if the date of his birth is correct. He would not have needed his father's consent. This Robert's marriage bond to Lockey Hunt is dated 4 Jan 1787,

with consent of John Carden, father of Robert; Consent of Wm. Hunt, father of Lockey. Joel Moore was the surety. Leonard & John Carden were witnesses. See Marriage Records 1765-1810, Mecklenburg Co., VA. (DPL G929.3755M466el) There is no Robert & John Carden on the 1795 Mecklenburg Co., VA tax list. There is a James Carden & a Robert Carden on the 1800 Census, Granville Co.,

NC.

5 iv Mary2 CARDEN, born 1760 in Mecklenburg County, Virginia. Mary Carden

is named in the will of John Keeton, Sr., Mecklenburg County, father of her husband.

Children of John CARDEN are:

i. John Carden, born Abt. 1752 in Mecklenburg Co, VA.

ii. Leonard Carden, born Abt. 1754 in Mecklenburg Co, VA.

Notes for Reuben Carden:

Orange County Poor House Records Sept. 1,1861..Records found in the North Carolina archives.....List of paupersat the Poor House included Reuben Cardin.

Reuben's occupation was given as "farmer".

In 1860, Reuben was listed as 86 years of age. He was listed alone and his occupation was given as "pauper". Court records for Hillsborough, 23 February 1857 show that A. Nichols was paid six dollars for moving Reuben Carden & Wife to the Poor House.

Reuben was still living at the Poor House on September 5, 1859. The records state that Stacy Carden died there on 29 February 1859.

Notes for Janie Rosannah PUCKETT:

Children of Robert MONROE and Janie PUCKETT are:

i. Rev. George William Monroe, Sr., born 14 Apr 1782 in Lunenberg, Lunenberg Co, VA; died 14 Oct 1869 in McMinn Co, TN; married Elizabeth Peters 04 Jan 1804 in Grainger Co, TN; born 01 Jan 1786; died 14 Sep 1873 in McMinn Co, TN.

Notes for Rev. George William Monroe, Sr.:

In 1826, the George MONROE, Sr., family home was approximately nine miles from Athens on the Mount Verd-Pond Hill Road and Athens was their post office. They were farmers and through the years, they acquired land and slaves and became quite prosperous.

Early on, George W. MONROE, Sr., gave land on his farm for a community cemetery. It may have been started as a family cemetery. In it are about 125 unmarked graves. Most of those marked are of MONROE family members, but Eliza and her son, Horace, must lie among those unmarked. In 1879, which was ten years after the death of George W. and six years after that of his wife, Elizabeth, the Baptist denominations established a church by the cemetery and named it Pond Hill. They were also given charge of the cemetery. This is surprising, since George was a Methodist minister. His graveside reads, "Grandfather" and Elizabeth's reads, "Grandmother".

1893 "Biographical Review of Johnson, Massac, Pope & Hardin Cos. IL" by Biographical Pub. Co., Chicago (CA State Library, Sutro Branch, loan on film, 4/30/1988; have copy pages, was looking for Hardin Co.)

Pg.479: FRANCIS M. DUNCAN ... Pope Co, who resides in township 11, range 6, and was born in Rhea Co. TN in 1842. His father, Russell Duncan, was born in Washington Co. TN in 1817 and is a son of William Duncan, of the same county. The latter was a farmer, as was also his father, Charles Duncan, of North Carolina, who was also a mechanic. Both Charles Duncan and his son William died in Washington Co. TN at quite an advanced age.

The mother of our subject was Mary T. Rector, of East TN, who after she married Russell Duncan lived in TN until 1870. That year Mr. and Mrs. Duncan removed by team to Jefferson Co. IL, and there the latter died in 1879, aged 56 years, having been the mother of 13 children, 7 sons and six daughters, one of whom died when an infant. Landon R. who was a volunteer in the 2nd TN Infantry of the Federal army, died in KY in the spring of 1862, in his 21st year. Mary Saphrona died in IL at about the age of 28; Sarah M., wife of William Secrest, died in IL; Hiram H. died at his parents' home in 1884; and Ellen E., a single lady, died also at home, in 1892. The names of the living are as follows: Margaret E. in AL; Francis M., the subject of this sketch; Charles Polk, a farmer of Pope Co.; John A., a farmer of Jefferson Co.; William E., also a farmer of Jefferson Co.; Vesta E., wife of Henry Miner, of Jefferson Co.; and Adeline, wife of David Mooney.

Francis M. Duncan, who was the 2nd child and 2nd son, and is the eldest of the family living, was reared to farm life ... enlisted in 20th year in KY in 5th TN Infantry of Union army, served in ranks over 3 years except when sick in hospital for a short time. His brothers Charles Polk and John A. were also volunteers in the Federal army. These men in TN who entered the Union army knew something of what it cost to be loyal to the Old Flag, and they also knew something of the cost of war. At first Mr. Duncan volunteered at home, but the regiment was soon disbanded and each member of it fled for safety. For some time he was secreted in the mountains with his father and brother; but one night went home to sleep in his bed, and was captured by the rebels and held a prisoner, but only for 2 hours, when he made his escape. The next spring he was one of 33 to cross the mountains and volunteer in KY, and came out of the war without being wounded.

In April, 1866, our subject was married to Miss Sarah Jane Robbs, of Pope Co., and a daughter of J.L. Robbs. He and his wife then went to MO for a few months, but later returned to this county, and in 1876 bought 40 acres ... Built part of his present dwelling house in fall of 1892. Mr. and Mrs. Duncan have buried one infant daughter, Mary L., and have 6 children living, viz: Amanda S., wife of Joseph Gossage, a farmer of Pope Co.; Vesta I., wife of William Gossage, and who has 3 children; William A., a young man of 19 at home; Minnie, a young lady of 18; Elmina, a miss of 14; and Thomas L., 12 years old. Mr. Duncan is a Master Mason, a Simon-pure Republican; he and wife members of Social Brethren Church. ...

Charles Duncan received two land grants on Knob Creek, the first for 400 acres and the second for 113 acres. The construction of the cabin dates to the late 1770's. David Preston Sherfy bought the house and 17 acres in 1886. He demolished an old store where the barn now sits and used the lumber to put up the board and batten concealing the log house. The house and 17 acres has remained in the Sherfy family for over 100 years. Charles Duncan's grave has been located near the house. The inscription on the limestone marker is still readable: "Chas.

Notes for Johann Adam Moser:

I have had something come into my procession recently that I think will be of interest to Moser family researchers who descend from Johann Adam Moser and Anna Maria Boehm. It is a sketch map, drawn by a surveyor in 1753, of Hereford Township of Berks County, PA. The original homestead of Johann Adam Moser (marked “Moser”) is shown on the map. This is the land which Johann Adam obtained via warrant in 1734, located in that part of Philadelphia County which became Hereford Township, Berks County in October, 1751. This is a sketch map, and is not to scale. It does, however, show the relative positions of many homesteads, industrial sites, creeks, paths, and roads. Some of the buildings are still standing today, although the Moser house is not. (From mosergenealogy@yahoo.com, 24 Apr 2006.)

181. Barbara DUTTIN, born Abt. 1699.

Notes for Johannes SCHNEPP:

Arrived in America aboard the ship, "Samuel", sailed from Rotterdam , but last from Deal, and arrived at Philadelphia, PA, August 17, 1733. The ship's Captain was Hugh Percy. On the ship's passenger list were: Johannes Schnapp, Sr. (Schnepp) age 37, his wife Barbara age 34, their children: Johannes Schnapp age 12, Lorentz Schnapp age 10, and Barbara age 3. Also, Lorentz, brother of Johannes, was on board. He was age 21. Record in Div of Public Record, Harrisonburg, PA. Took oath of Naturalization November 5, 1746. Johannes, Sr., settled in Frederick County, VA by 1734 and died there in 1762. His sons left many descendants in Frederick and Shenandoah Counties, VA. Later generations migrated to Tennessee. They settled in Sullivan County, especially in and around Blountville and Reedy Creek.

Origin of the Schnepp family originated in Wurttemberg in Germany. The original spelling of the surname was SCHNEPFE, SCHNEPFF AND SCHNEPP. The surname takes its origin from a marsh bird called a SNIPE. In German the spelling is SCHNEPFE and translates into the English spelling of the surname. In its basic sense it means "a bird which snaps up." The English spelling of the surname became SNAPP when the family migrated to America in 1733.

The earliest documentation of the surname is found in Wurttemberg for the year 1435, ERHARD SCHNEPF (1495-1558) lived in the region and was a follower of MARTIN LUTHER. He is the ancestor of the Protestant branch of the family that settled in Alsace, France once claimed by Germany.

Not all members of the family changed their religion and followed the teaching of Martin Luther. One branch of the surname remained true to their Catholic faith and was found in Rothenburg about fifty miles east of Stuttgart. The Protestant branch settled in Heilbronn about thirty miles north of Stuttgart. To distinguish the Catholic branch of the family from the Protestant, each branch assumed a coat-of-arms that was similar in design on the shield but each had a different crest.

The Dukes of Wurttemberg protected the Catholic faith in the region but that branch of the family disappeared from the region in the sixteen hundreds. ERHARD SCHNEPF introduced Martin Luther's teachings in Wuerttemburg and seemed to be well thought off in the region.

The Schnepf-Schnepp family of Alsace claim their descent from Hans Schnepp, a shepherd who lived in different villages in North central Alsace. His son, Lorentz Schnepp, also a shepherd lived in different villages in the region. Lorentz Schnepp married Catherina Haber and had eleven (11) children born in eight different villages. One of their children was Johannes Schnepp born 1 December 1695 in the village of Duntzenheim, West of Strasbourg, now in France.

The Schnepp's were Shepherds in the region and the family moved throughout the area and many of their children were born in different villages in Alsace. Reference: "Eighteenth Century Emigrants from Northern Alsace to America" pages 449, 450, 451, 452 by Annette Burgert

When Johannes Schnepp and his wife Barbara Dutt, plus his brother, Lotentz Schnepp and their children landed at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on 17 August 1733 on the ship, "Samuel", Johannes Schnepp signed his name with a large "H" with an "S" inside and intersected by a shepherd's crook indicating his occupation as a Shepherd. This is the same mark he used when he signed his Oath of Allegiance to the British Crown on 17 August 1733 at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Notes for Rev. James Carden:

The parents of James Carden are in doubt. The following information is from Branch Carden: James was born around 1734 and died in 1773. James received his orders as a Church of England minister in 1755. He was a minister of Cornwall Parish in Charlotte County, VA., for three years and then was transferred to St. Patrick's Parish in Prince Edward County about 1758. He was a minister in this Parish until his death in 1773. He married Sarah Wimbish, daughter of James Wimbish of Prince Edward County, on Sept 19, 1760. His will is filed in Prince Edward Co., VA. From his will it appears he left a very sizable estate; four plantations in Charlotte & Cumberland Counties and 25 negros. He had six children. In his will he directed his executors "That they narrowly look into the education of my sons". He further specified "That none of my books be sold, but be kept for a present to be given to that son of mine who inclines to be a minister in the Church of England". So far as is known, none of his sons became a minister. His son Alexander became a physician in Charlotte Co. I have no definite information about the rest of his children. Three of his grandsons, Thomas, James and John resided in Charlotte County in 1830 and were counted in the U.S. Census of that year. They all owned plantations, and had rather large families and owned 31 slaves between them. They were all born between 1790 and 1800.

Children of James CARDEN (Rev.) and Sarah WIMBISH were as

follows:

Notes for Robert George:

Following is a transcript of Robert George's last will and testament, transcribed in 1997 by Susie Wood Smith, a descendant of the Wood's who founded Utica, IN.

Susie offers the following synopsis of Robert's relationship to the pioneer families of Utica, IN.

Robert George, son of Reuben George and Mildred Rogers Sharon, served as Captain under General George Rogers Clark in the winning of the Old Northwest. He died "without issue" in March of 1804-1808 (there are 3 different records with varying dates) and left most of his land and holdings to the children of his half sister, Margaret Sharon, as her husband James Wood, had fought in the rebellion and Robert's brothers were loyalists. He spent his last few years with the family of James Noble Wood, and also left property and holdings to: Nancy Smith (James N. Wood's mother-in-law), the widow of H. Smith, Smauel Hay, the husband of Anne Wood (James N. Wood's sister). Moses G. Wood (James N. Wood's brother). A number of Fergusons (related through a sister of James N. Wood-possibly Nancy). Francis McGuire, the husband of another sister (possibly Polly). James Sweny (Sweeney), the husband of another sister (given name unknown), and Benoni Wood, the eldest son of George Wood (another Brother).

In addition many of the males also fought under George Rogers Clark, alongside Robert George. This will was not filed until May 25, 1835.

Pg.316-7: DUNCAN. The Duncans are of Scotch descent. Marshall Duncan was probably born c1700/1710, Dumphries, Prince William County (later Fauquier County) Virginia. He married c1729, Mary Ann ????. In 1739 Daniel Murr (EDS: Marr) leased 100 acres of land to Marshall Duncan, his wife Mary Ann and his son John. The land was described as at the Marsh and running to the old John Hopper line. The Elk Marsh area was included in Fauquier Co. VA when that county was formed from Prince William County in 1759.

Marshall Duncan left Prince William County c1750 and moved south to Granville, County, North Carolina where there were relatives, particularly his brother, Rice. About 1760, the Marshall Duncan family moved again, this time to the Snow Creek area of Dan River in the present Stokes Co. NC where Marshall purchased about 100 acres. Marshall was in Rowan Co. NC (later Surry Co., then Stokes Co.) by 1764. Marshall and his sons were listed in the tax, marriage and land records of Rowan and Surry Co. NC. He lived in the same area (county boundary lines changed) near the Moravian community of Salem. He was not a member of the Moravian Church, but as he owned the only limestone in the area, he was mentioned in their records because of his business dealings with them. Marshall died in 1777 at the calculated age of 69 years (Surry Co. NC). His will dated 26 August 1776 and probated May 1777, named his wife, Mary Ann, and his eleven children: John; Mary Ann; William; Ann; Marshall, Thomas, Rice, Charles, Joseph, Robert and James. He named his son, John Duncan, and William Hill as executors; the will was witnessed by John Duncan, Charles Duncan and William Hill.
