  20. Any help or suggestions very greatly appreciated.

  125.            <description><![CDATA[I am in possession of a document that states that Jacob Miller , one of 4 male children of Ulrich Miller that came to the USA Sept 15, 1749 crossed into VA by way of the old Pack Horse Ford near Shepherds - Town MD. This document states that Jacob came to VA with his wife Barbara and six children. The children I have listed are Christian, Barbara, Jacob, Mary, Susannah, and Ulrich. I am trying to find the parents of a John Miller who reportedly was born in Germany, but may have been born in the US. Two of Jacobs brothers remained in in Penn., and one in MD. I am wondering if perhaps this Jacob could be the Father of John Miller who was born 1764, and married Catherine Milhouse Bowman. John and Catherine moved to Washington Co. TN. near Johnson City.
  126. Perhaps Jacob and Barbara had other children after they arrived in VA., I am not sure.
  127. I would be willing to share information with those who are interested. Jacob Miller is my line.

  236.            <description><![CDATA[I am seeking any information or clues that may lead to identifying ancestors of my 3 X Great-Grandfather Frederick Miller who was born in 1760 in Pennsylvania and died in 1822 in Clark County, Ohio.  He and his family also resided in Botetourt County, Virginia, in the late 1700s-early 1800s.  Frederick was married to Mary Elizabeth Peery, daughter of Philip Peery (Biery) of Berks Co., PA, and Botetourt Co., VA.  Despite considerable searching I have been unable to find a compelling record of Frederick’s birth/ancestry, though I have found some records that are interesting and promising.
  237. Recently, thanks to a DNA match with a Miller descendant, I have come to believe that Frederick shares a common ancestor (likely a father or grandfather) with George Miller, Sr., an early settler of Shenandoah County, Virginia, whose family (except for son George, Jr.) were massacred by Indians at their farm home north of Strasburg, Virginia, in 1764.  George is believed to have arrived in North America (likely Pennsylvania) in 1749, and later migrated to the northern Shenandoah Valley, settling near Strasburg.  He is believed to have arrived with brothers William Jacob Miller, Johannes Philip Miller, and Frederick Miller.  George is not the father of my Frederick, born 1760, but one of his brothers could have been.
  238. Most of the information I have on George and his family comes from a 1933 manuscript titled “History of the George Miller Family” by Arthur Miller, a copy of which can be found in the Shenandoah County Library at Edinburg VA.  It focuses on the descendants of George Miller, Sr., and has no information on his supposed brothers.  It is not clear whether any of them accompanied George to Virginia, stayed in Pennsylvania, or went elsewhere.  I am hoping that someone has that information or can point me to it.
  239. One additional point of possible interest is that some Shenandoah County researchers believe that there is a connection between the George Miller, Sr., family and the family of Jacob Müller, who founded the town of Woodstock, the county seat of Shenandoah County, but I have found no specific information relevant to that possibility.
  240. For anyone interested in additional detail on the subject of this post, or on Frederick Miller and his descendants, please see my Ancestry tree, Davis Family Tree, which you can access through my Ancestry Profile via my user name.  The Gallery for Frederick Miller includes a fairly detailed discussion of his possible ancestry and other aspects of his life.
  241. I appreciate any information or clues that you can provide.  Thank you.

  260.            <description><![CDATA[The following is info I have on my ancestors in early Virginia.  Am specifically looking for any information on William Warwicks disappearance after 1759, and burial sites for John Warwick, Janet Gay and Martha Stevenson.
  261.  
  262. Warwick, William "Willie" C. (b. 1779, d. ?)
  263. Note: SOURCE NOTES:
  264. SOURCE NOTES:
  265. William "Willie" C. Warwick was also known as "Wiley".
  266.  
  267. Full name is William Calloway WARWICK
  268.  
  269. Origins of the WARWICK Family
  270.  
  271. The information and succeeding material on the decendents of William C.
  272. Warwick was in large part supplied by Mr. Harry Dennis Hatcher of Chicago,
  273. Illinois, to whom I gratefully acknowledge his hard work for the supplements
  274. of the Warwick family history which is included here. He has been researching
  275. the WARWICK surname for years.
  276.  
  277. Family tradition states that the Warwick brothers, William and John, came to
  278. America from England. The date and place of their arrival are uncertain -
  279. but by the late 1730's they had settled in the lower Shenandoah Valley in the
  280. newly formed Augusta County, Virginia. An early historian, William T. Price,
  281. stated that the first Warwick in the area was a Lieutenant and surveyor for
  282. the Crown, sent to the area from James City. But the Augusta records make no
  283. mention of such an officer or surveyor. After a great deal of research it
  284. seems more plausible that the WARWICKs were tradesmen from a merchant family
  285. in Brunswick. They are early on referred to as leathersmiths and cobblers
  286. and probably came to America to raise cattle for their hides and trade for
  287. forest furs.
  288.  
  289. The Immigrant WARWICK Brothers
  290.  
  291. The eldest brother, William, married Elizabeth DUNLAP of Middlebrook sometime
  292. around 1737 in Orange County, Virginia. The following year John Lewis'
  293. frontier settlement was removed from the jurisdiction of Orange and the new
  294. eminence Augusta County was formed. Elizabeth was the daughter of Alexander
  295. DUNLAP and his wife Janet Ann McFARLAND (sometimes referred to as "Jenot" or
  296. "Jeani"). Alexander is said to have been the son of a soldier who was at the
  297. siege of Londondarry. Mrs. DUNLAP was a ! descende nt of Calan McFARLAND.
  298.  
  299. Alexander & Ann McFARLAND DUNLAP had originally settled near Philadelphia
  300. before moving to Middlebrook, a settlement at the head waters of the Middle
  301. River in Virginia.
  302.  
  303. In the early 1740's the DUNLAPs moved west over the Great North Mountain and
  304. settled on the Calfpasture River. It is said that they were the first to
  305. live on the "Pastures" (the area around the Calf, Cow & Bullpasture Rivers)
  306. and at that time the farthest most western settlers on the Virginia frontier.
  307.  
  308. In 1743 Alexander DUNLAP was appointed Captain of horse in the militia, but
  309. the following year, 1744, he died. His widow later married Robert BRATTON.
  310.  
  311. Captain Alexander and Ann DUNLAP are known to have had at least four
  312. children: John, Robert, Alexander Jr. and Elizabeth, wife of William
  313. WARWICK.
  314.  
  315. It is uncertain whether William and Elizabeth WARWICK joined Capt. DUNLAP
  316. when he ventured into the pastures or raised their family in Middlebrook,
  317. However all their children were born in Augusta County - Janet or Jean,
  318. James, Martha, William Jr., John and Jacob, the latter being the youngest
  319. born in 1747.
  320.  
  321. In 1750 William WARWICK patented land on Jackson's River which lies just east
  322. of the crest of the Allegheny Mountains - border between present day "old"
  323. and West Virginia in what is now Bath County.
  324.  
  325. William's brother John WARWICK came with him to the area. It is known that
  326. the younger WARWICK worked on the farm of William Wilson from 1757 to 1758
  327. and may have been married into the family.
  328.  
  329. William WARWICK saw service during the French and Indian War under Capt.
  330. George Wilson - and appears on this Company's Muster Roll of 11 August 1756
  331. as a private. The ever present danger of Indian attack during these years
  332. prompted the WARWICK's and other settlers along Jackson's River to retire
  333. eastward over Jack Mountain and resettle on the Cowpasture River. William
  334. Warwick patented 216 acres there in 1759. ! His brother John also moved to the
  335. Cowpasture at this time and took a three year lease at 4 L (Lira) annually on
  336. 149 acres that belonged to James GAY. Mr. GAY had married William &
  337. Elizabeth WARWICK's eldest daughter Jenot (Jean). Sometime soon after the
  338. last move, William WARWICK left the Virginia Frontier bound for England. He
  339. never returned.
  340.  
  341. In 1763-64, his brother John, his daughter Janet married to James GAY and
  342. another daughter Martha who was married to Major John STEVENSON were killed
  343. by the Shawnee.  (Kerr’s Creek massacre).
  344.  
  345. The WARWICK Brothers of West Virginia
  346.  
  347. Joseph BELL was made guardian of the WARWICK children - "until William's
  348. return". Nineteen year old John WARWICK joined the punitive Boquet Expedition
  349. against the Shawnee in 1704 and was awarded 80 acres in 1780 for his
  350. services.
  351.  
  352. In 1779, after the family had been nearly twenty years with no word from
  353. William - he was "given up for dead" and Elizabeth DUNLAP WARWICK married
  354. long time friend Andrew SITLINGTON. Andrew died 15 April 1804 and Elizabeth
  355. was still living on 3December 1805.
  356.  
  357. James WARWICK, the eldest son - his exact birth date is unknown but, was
  358. probably circa 1740 - married Elizabeth CROUCH.
  359.  
  360. The CROUCH brothers - John, Andrew and James had moved to America from Wales
  361. in the late 1740's. They are first found in Virginia in 1750 and settled on
  362. the North Branch of the Potomac River in far North Western Augusta County.
  363. The French and Indian War forced them to retire westward to the Pastures,
  364. where James and Elizabeth met and married. After the Treaty of 1764 the
  365. CROUCH's again headed west. settling this time in Tygart's Valley. The
  366. settlement had been founded in 1754 by David TYGART and Robert FOYLE on a
  367. branch of the Monongalia River that now bears the former's name - Tygart
  368. Valley River.
  369.  
  370. The war with France had temporarily destroyed the settlement, but as soon as
  371. the hostilities ceased the settlers returned. By 1772 nearly all of the landin th e Valley was settled, but none of the occupants had clear title or
  372. official patents to their claims.
  373.  
  374. When Andrew CROUCH and his brothers moved to the area in the late 1760's his
  375. daughter Elizabeth and son-in-law James WARWICK came with them. Near the Old
  376. Brick Church in the Huttonsville District, present day Randolph County, West
  377. Virginia, James WARWICK cleared the land, built a cabin and planted his crops
  378. - by virtue of this he claimed the surrounding creek bottom. It seems that
  379. one John S. William WHITE also claimed the land.
  380.  
  381. The White brother's proposed to settle the matter by a "resort to a fight,
  382. fist and skull". James WARWICK, fearing the result, traded lands with his
  383. father-in-law, Andrew CROUCH, who was to clear his new title by attempting
  384. the challenge of the other claimants. Mr. CROUCH met and vanquished William
  385. WHITE who accepted the result with satisfaction. WHITE and CROUCH became
  386. close friends. John WHITE was killed in the battle of Point Pleasant.
  387. William WHITE fell a victim to Indians in what is now Upshur County, West
  388. Virginia.
  389.  
  390. In 1857, historian William T. Price interviewed one Major Andrew CROUCH,
  391. nephew of his above namesake. This aged man related: "When he was six years
  392. old (circa 1773) his father (John CROUCH) took him to the cornfield and while
  393. he worked the little boy sat on the fence. One of his uncles came up in
  394. great haste, bringing the news that Lewis KINNAN and three of his children
  395. had just been killed by Indians. The CROUCHs hurried their families to the
  396. home of James WARWICK, not far from where the old Brick Church stood. In
  397. their hurry the CROUCH brothers and WARWICK seized their guns to go help the
  398. families exposed to the Indians farther up the river, (but) they neglected to
  399. barricade the fort, and so the little boy and the two little girls went out
  400. to the branch. While the little boy was washing the blood from his face,
  401. caused by his nose bleeding, the little girl! s became frightened and without
  402. saying anything, ran back into the fort and left him alone. When his
  403. bleeding stopped he went back and found the fort barricaded. The CROUCH
  404. brothers had been met by some persons from the lower fort, took them along
  405. and so their wives their wives and children were left to themselves at
  406. WARWICK's to make out the best they could. When the boy came to the fort he
  407. heard his aunt in a loud voice giving orders as if there was quite a number
  408. of men in the fort. When in fact the force consisted of three white women,
  409. one black man & his wife and some children.
  410.  
  411. An Indian climbed to the roof of the fort building after night and set it on
  412. fire.
  413.  
  414. The black man put it out, then the stable was fired. The black man said they
  415. should not burn the horse, he went out and carefully approached the place,
  416. seeing an Indian by the light, shot at him and let the horse out and safely
  417. returned to the fort. He dared the Indians to come on and as there seemed to
  418. be but two or three that showed themselves it seems they were not disposed to
  419. storm the loud but little garrison. When the barn burned down and it became
  420. dark the black woman insisted on leaving the fort and giving the alarm
  421. farther down. She was allowed to do so and the next day the men came up and
  422. moved all farther down. Then the little boy and eight others went to bury
  423. the dead - Lewis KINNAN and his three children. After the burial, the men
  424. seeing no signs of Indians, believed they had withdrawn and so they
  425. disbanded. But late in the evening an Indian killed Frank RIFFLE near where
  426. the Brick Church stood and burned two houses not far away belonging to James
  427. LACKEY...".
  428.  
  429. The black man in WARWICK's fortified cabin that night of the siege was a
  430. slave of James WARWICK and according to the elderly Major CROUCH, James,
  431. "rewarded his faithful negro with his freedom for saving the fort".
  432.  
  433. The old Major CROUCH also related that his uncle James WARWICK ! was a sm all
  434. man and this was the reason he felt he could not take on the WHITE brothers
  435. in a fight. Others relate that James WARWICK was a school teacher and a very
  436. pious man. His early education was under the tutorage of the Rev. John
  437. CRAIG, the compassionate Presbyterian minister of the Western Virginia
  438. frontier. It is also said that the WARWICK brothers (sons of William) were
  439. converted to that faith by him.
  440.  
  441. If James WARWICK was a small and quite man, his youngest brother Jacob, born
  442. in 1747, was the exact opposite. According to historian Price, he was tall,
  443. muscular and quite aggressive.
  444.  
  445. In 1765, while still a teenager, Jacob WARWICK married Mary VANCE (1750-
  446. 1823), the daughter of Colonel John P. VANCE and his wife Martha ___?___.
  447. During the early years of their marriage they lived at Dunmore in present day
  448. Pocahontas County, West Virginia - all of their children were born there.
  449. Jacob WARWICK was a cattleman and Indian fighter. He joined the punitive
  450. expedition against the Ohio tribes known as Lord Dunmore's War in 1774, as a
  451. private.
  452.  
  453. On October 10th that same year at Point Pleasant he was among a group of men
  454. who quite by accident were credited for turning the tide of battle that day.
  455. Jacob and several other men had been detailed to kill deer for the army and
  456. were returning from the hunt that day and were mistaken by the old Indian war
  457. chief, Cornstalk, as re-enforcements, swaying his decision to surrender.
  458.  
  459. Jacob spent a lifetime fighting the Shawnee but he related "was never sure
  460. but killing one Indian". Soon after that affair at point pleasant, Jacob
  461. went among the Shawnee on a trading excursion to secure skins and furs. While
  462. there he saw that many white captives had not been returned as required by
  463. the treaty. At first he attempted to buy a young boy's freedom from his
  464. adopted Indian parents but they refused to relinquish him. He dropped the
  465. matter and waited until their guard was down, stol! e the ch ild, and returned
  466. him to Augusta County.
  467.  
  468. There are many accounts of white captives being returned by Jacob in the
  469. history of Western Virginia and some believe that he was driven and
  470. discovered others while searching for some of his own missing children and
  471. relatives.
  472.  
  473. Warwick's During the American Revolution
  474.  
  475. With the outbreak of the Revolution, Indian hostilities encouraged by the
  476. British broke out on the Virginia frontier.
  477.  
  478. On December 7th 1777, during an unexpected snowstorm, twenty three Indians
  479. penetrated the Tygart's Settlements and attacked Darby Connelly's house.
  480. Darby was at the time on the roof removing snow. They killed him, his wife
  481. and several children, taking three prisoners. They then proceeded a short
  482. distance down the river to the next cabin, that of John Stuart. They killed
  483. John, his wife and child and took Miss HAMILTON, his wife's sister, prisoner.
  484.  
  485. John HADDEN discovered the bodies the following day and notified Capt. Ben
  486. WILSON. A group of settlers pursued the raiders but lost the trail. It is
  487. related that in time Jacob WARWICK returned Mary HAMILTON to the settlement.
  488. Administration of John STUART's estate was granted on March 7, 1773 to
  489. William HAMILTON. The estate of Darby CONNELLY was appraised by William
  490. HAMILTON, John HAMILTON and John WARWICK.
  491.  
  492. At the same point, probably around 1774 to 1775, James WARWICK relocated
  493. further south to the Greenbrier River, leaving his land to his eldest son,
  494. John WARWICK. John was probably bornsometime around 1759 or 1760. He
  495. married a Miss Nancy HAMILTON (as of this writing, I have been unable to
  496. determine who her parents were, though it seems to be either John of William
  497. Jr.
  498.  
  499. William HAMILTON Sr. and his wife Else (Alice) had immigrated from England
  500. via Pennsylvania to Augusta County, Virginia prior to 1749. They first took
  501. up residence in an old Indian camping hut on Back Creek, a branch of
  502. Jackson's River. Sometime a! round 17 67 they moved to Tygart's Valley with
  503. their sons: John, James, William Jr., Andrew and Alexander HAMILTON, all
  504. mature men in the 1750's.
  505.  
  506. John WARWICK, (son of James, and later of Warwick's Cross Roads) married Miss
  507. HAMILTON circa 1775 in Tygart's Valley. In the first year of the Revolution
  508. the area, then part of West Augusta, was formed into Monongalia County. On a
  509. list of contributors to the Continental Army housed in Monongalia County
  510. Court House appears the name John WARWICK. It is related that John WARWICK
  511. on several occasions drove large herds of cattle to both Virginia and
  512. Pennsylvania to help feed Washington's Army.
  513.  
  514. His Uncle William WARWICK Jr. served three years as a sergeant in the
  515. Virginia State Artillery for which he received a land bounty warrant # 839,
  516. for 200 acres on Deer Creek.
  517.  
  518. Uncle Jacob WARWICK was commissioned Lieutenant of the Augusta Militia under
  519. Capt. William KINCAID and held that rank and position throughout the war.
  520.  
  521. John WARWICK's great uncle Robert DUNLAP was killed at Gulford Court House.
  522.  
  523. During the early years of the war John and Nancy WARWICK had the following
  524. children: Delilah born circa 1777 and William, called Willie born circa
  525. 1779.
  526.  
  527. John does not appear on any known Militia list; nevertheless, he is known to
  528. have participated in several Indian fights during the war years.
  529.  
  530. In March 1780 a neighbor, Thomas LACKEY observed moccasin tracks in the path
  531. near Fort Hadden and while examining them he heard someone in an undertone
  532. say "Let him alone. He will go and bring more." LACKEY went to the fort and
  533. reported what he had seen and heard but it was not believed. There were at
  534. the time several men from Greenbrier staying all night in the fort, intending
  535. to start home the next morning. Among them was Lt. Jacob WARWICK who had
  536. been visiting his nephew John. When they set out a few of the men belonging
  537. to the area, including John, accompanied them a short d! istance.
  538.  
  539. Although warned of the danger, they approached the spot carelessly and were
  540. fired upon by the Indians. Lt. WARWICK's horse was hit and sank to the
  541. ground as if dead, but as Jacob was in the act of throwing off his cloak to
  542. fight, the horse rose and WARWICK darted off at top speed. WARWICK promised
  543. his horse that if he would carry him to safely away that he need never work
  544. again. Though wounded in the thigh, the horse did as Jacob wished. The ball
  545. was extracted and Lt. WARWICK kept his promise.
  546.  
  547. The footmen from the fort were surrounded and their only chance for escape
  548. was to cross the shallow river and climb a hill on the opposite side. John
  549. McLAIN was killed 30 yards from the crest, James RALSTON still nearer the
  550. top, James CROUCH (John WARWICK's uncle) was wounded as he reached the crest
  551. but made his way to the fort the next day. John NELSON, after crossing the
  552. river, attempted to escape down the bank, but was met by an Indian and was
  553. killed after a desperate hand to hand battle, as was evidenced by his
  554. shattered gunstock, the uptorn earth and the locks of Indian hair in his
  555. still clutched hand. John WARWICK, though shaken, reached the fort
  556. unscathed.
  557.  
  558. During this time, John's father & mother, James & Elizabeth CROUCH WARWICK,
  559. were residing in the newly formed (1778) Greenbrier County. In 1780 the
  560. court there ordered James to be appointed constable in Capt. Hugh MILLER's
  561. company. In 1781 James was summoned to the next court to show cause why he
  562. "does not qualify as a constable." Perhaps he was too short and shy to
  563. shoulder such a responsibility. On 24 April 1783, James was called as a
  564. witness along with several women, Mary Ann MASON, Ann WILLIAMS, Ann CRAIG,
  565. Mary PRICE, Sarah CARLISE and his wife in the case against Amy BRATTON on
  566. suspicion of murdering her illegitimate child. The court found enough
  567. evidence of guilt and Amy was jailed, awaiting trial in Richmond.
  568.  
  569. The Migration from West V! irginia< BR>
  570. Just prior to the American Revolution the DUNLAP's, GAY's and WARWICK's had
  571. made several exploratory trading trips through Kentucky to what is now Ohio.
  572. In 1780 James GAY Jr., was in the process of settling on the Elk River near
  573. present day Lexington, Kentucky when word of the Indian raid on Hadden's
  574. Fort prompted him to return and enlist in the Militia there. In 1782 James
  575. DUNLAP, at age 15, the first cousin of James WARWICK, patented 1, 200 acres
  576. of land on the Elk River in what is now Woodford County, Kentucky, for his
  577. father, Alexander DUNLAP Jr. During Lord Dunmore's War in 1794, little James
  578. at age six was mounted on a black stallion, whose back had been tarred so as
  579. to enable him to stick to his stead, and sent with a message through Indian
  580. lines from Clover Lick to Warwick's Fort on Deer Creek to bring assistance.
  581.  
  582. In 1784 a large wagon train of kinsmen was formed intent on settling these
  583. lands on the Elk River. James GAY Jr., Col. Alexander DUNLAP Jr, John WARWICK
  584. (son of William Sr) and his brother Lt. Jacob WARWICK all headed westward
  585. with their families. While crossing the mountains, the advance scouts
  586. were killed by Indians and left in the path scalped and naked. The sight was
  587. too much for Jacob's wife Mary and she refused to proceed further.
  588.  
  589. Alexander deeded over his DUNLAP lands at Clover Lick to Jacob and they
  590. returned to Virginia. Brother John WARWICK continued on to the Elk River
  591. where his sons and daughters grew to adulthood and married. His eldest son
  592. Jacob (II) married Jane MONTGOMERY and later moved to Indiana where he was
  593. killed at the Battle of Tippacanoe while serving under William Henry HARRISON
  594. as a Captain. Capt. WARWICK's bravery in this action of 1811 won him the
  595. esteem and admiration of his General and later President HARRISON. WARRICK
  596. (the spelling of the family name at the time) County, Indiana is named for
  597. him. Lt. Jacob WARWICK returned to Virginia, lived at Clover Lick! for som e
  598. time, then settled on his Jackson's River lands. When Bath County, Virginia
  599. was formed in 1791, he was among the first Justices of the Peace. Old Lt.
  600. Jacob WARWICK died January 11th 1826 and is buried on the west bank of
  601. Jackson's River near Fort Dinwiddie.
  602.  
  603. James CROUCH, who had been wounded at the raid at Hadden's Fort had - had
  604. enough of Shawnees and moved southward and settled in Washington County,
  605. North Carolina (now Tennessee). It is uncertain whether he long survived his
  606. wounds but his sons appear on Washington County Tax Lists as early as 1787.
  607. John WARWICK (son of James) for the time being remained in Tygart's Valley.
  608. Daughter Nancy WARWICK was born there in 1783. In the summer of 1784 he
  609. purchased the lands of William HADDEN, who had moved to Fayette County,
  610. Virginia (now Kentucky), 186 acres in Monongalia County.
  611.  
  612. That same year Harrison County was formed. Sometime before 1785 John
  613. WARWICK's grandfather Andrew CROUCH died leaving his grandmother Judy to be
  614. cared for.
  615.  
  616. In 1787 Randolph County was formed from Harrison. That same year John
  617. WARWICK reported several of his horses had been stolen by Indians. A Tax
  618. List of that year shows John with: seven slaves, 15 horses and 69 head of
  619. cattle. Also in 1787, son Willis WARWICK was born, the following year
  620. daughter Mercy WARWICK was born.
  621.  
  622. Due to the lack of good records, what happened during the next decade, 1790
  623. to 1800, has been a very difficult segment of the WARWICK history to uncover,
  624. nevertheless there are enough bits and places to assemble a somewhat vague
  625. understanding of the events that transpired and how some of the WARWICK's
  626. came to be in East Tennessee.
  627.  
  628. In 1786 the first wife, Mary, of "uncle" John WARWICK passed away at their
  629. new home near the Elk River in what is now Clark County, Kentucky. It seems
  630. arrangements were made to take a second wife, the "old maid" daughter of John
  631. CROUCH, Sr., who has just recently died of ! a snake bite. The elder John
  632. CROUCH, now deceased, was, of course, one of the original Welsh immigrants
  633. and brother of James WARWICK's father-in-law.
  634.  
  635. Eleanor CROUCH was escorted to Kentucky, to her new home and husband by two
  636. of her first cousins children: Jacob and Wyatt, sons of James & Elizabeth
  637. CROUCH WARWICK. After their mission had been accomplished, Jacob and Wyatt
  638. chose not to return to Virginia but remained in the Lexington area with their
  639. uncle and other kinsmen.
  640.  
  641. A daughter of James and Elizabeth WARWICK, whose first name is unknown as of
  642. this writing, is believed to have married James BOGGS. Mr. BOGGS became a
  643. renowned Indian tracker and an early explorer of Southern Ohio.
  644.  
  645. Sometime around the mid 1790's, James WARWICK and his wife's brother Joseph
  646. CROUCH, probably encouraged by good reports from Wyatt, Jacob and Mrs. BOGGS,
  647. decided to relocate in the North West Territory. They probably stopped and
  648. stayed for a while in Kentucky but of this I am uncertain. Regardless, by
  649. the turn of the century they had settled in Ross County, Ohio in Concord
  650. Township.
  651.  
  652. James Warwick made his home at Old Town, once sacred capital of the Shawnee
  653. Nation, and it was here that he died sometime between 1810 and 1820. He had
  654. been accompanied to the area by his youngest son William born circa 1760-
  655. 1770. Son, William had cleared a farm in Paint Township and had at least
  656. four sons: William Jr., James, John and Alexander WARWICK. According to Old
  657. Major CROUCH in 1857 one of these grandsons of James became a congressman
  658. from Ohio, but he did not indicate which one.
  659.  
  660. James WARWICK's sons, Jacob and Wyatt, did not accompany him and their
  661. youngest brother, William, to Ohio but remained in Kentucky. Details of
  662. their lives there have thus far been impossible to ascertain. Wyatt WARWICK
  663. appears as a witness on a document dated 28 Dec 1795, concerning the transfer
  664. of lands on Elk River in Fayette County. Jacob WARWICK! , son of James, is
  665. found on a Montgomery County, Kentucky Tax List dated 1797. Curiously, among
  666. the men on this same list are: John HAMILTON, James LANE and James HINDS.
  667. The next time their names are found in the records are 1807, living on Hinds
  668. Creek in then Knox County, Tennessee.
  669.  
  670. There is probably a connection here, but I am uncertain as to what it is.
  671. Perhaps in your investigation of the Hinds Family, you may have more of an
  672. idea than I. The John HAMILTON which appears on the list is the son of James
  673. HAMILTON, uncle to John WARWICK of Randolph county's wife. He had moved to
  674. Kentucky prior to 1774 when the area was still known as Fincastle County,
  675. Virginia.
  676.  
  677. This same John HAMILTON is also an early settler of Ross County, Ohio. As of
  678. this writing, I have very limited knowledge of the Hamilton's that settled
  679. Hamilton's Cross Roads now Union County, Tennessee. The earliest mention I
  680. have found concerning them is in a Knoxville newspaper dated August 12th
  681. 1794, when 15 Indians attacked the Bull Run Blockhouse, stealing Hind's,
  682. Barton's and Hamilton's horses. Whether William, Peter and Alexander HAMILTON
  683. of Hind's Ridge are in-laws of John WARWICK of Warwick's Cross Roads of this
  684. I am not certain. Regardless of whether there is or is not any HAMILTON or
  685. HINDS connection that may have influenced the WARWICK brothers move to
  686. Tennessee, the prime motivation was the following:
  687.  
  688. As stated earlier the children of John WARWICK's uncle, James CROUCH, moved
  689. into upper East Tennessee as early as 1787. In a contemporaneous account of
  690. the area, an early historian makes mention of WARNICK traders and also add
  691. that they must have been part Indian. I can find no other records of
  692. WARWICK's in East Tennessee at this time other than this brief passage. (It
  693. should probably be noted that there is one Martin WYRICK who settled briefly
  694. in Sullivan County before relocating in Lee County, Virginia, and it is
  695. perhaps his son Willi! am WYRIC K that settles in Grainger County, but there is
  696. no known connection between the two families).
  697.  
  698. It is my belief that John WARWICK of Randolph, like his uncle Jacob (or even
  699. with him) made trade excursions among the Tennessee settlement and the
  700. Cherokee for furs and other forest products. Particularly prior to the
  701. Revolution, Western Virginia settlers made many friends among the Cherokee,
  702. the of course, shared a common enemy, the Shawnee.
  703.  
  704. I can find no evidence that any WARWICK ever had an Indian bride.
  705. Nevertheless, it is possible that John WARWICK may have been married more
  706. than once and that one of those wives could possibly have been a Cherokee,
  707. perhaps from the villages Northwest of Wall's Station ? Yet it is probably
  708. more plausible that the old historian made his deduction based on appearance
  709. alone.
  710.  
  711. It would not have been unusual for white men on extended excursions into the
  712. wilderness to adapt the attire of the local inhabitants, some perhaps going
  713. so far as to let their pony tails down and the wearing of feathers. A third
  714. possibility is that John Warwick had been held captive as a young by the
  715. Shawnee, perhaps rescued by the Cherokee, and on visits dressed like them and
  716. spoke their language so well that he could be mistaken for part Indian.
  717. There are, of course, only possible explanations for the above "Indian"
  718. statement, and the real reason behind it may never be known. What is
  719. important is that John WARWICK and probably his sons were in and out of
  720. Tennessee in the late 1780's and early 1790's and remained in contact with
  721. the CROUCH's there - first cousins and childhood friends of John WARWICK -
  722. Joseph & John CROUCH and their sons - James, John Jr, Jesse and Elijah
  723. CROUCH.
  724.  
  725. In 1786 John CROUCH, Sr. married the widow of John Fuller LANE. The LANE
  726. family had been in America since the mid 17th century and originally hailed
  727. from Maryland. John Fuller LANE was born around 1727 near Baltimore and was!
  728. the son of Richard LANE and Sarah Fuller.
  729.  
  730. In 1746 John F. LANE married Elizabeth CLOUD, daughter of Isaac CLOUD and
  731. moved to Pittsylvania County, Virginia where they lived during the early
  732. years of the Revolution.
  733.  
  734. Around 1779 John Fuller LANE, accompanied by his brother, Tidence LANE, moved
  735. to Washington County, North Carolina (now Tennessee) and settled on Boone and
  736. Cedar Creeks.
  737.  
  738. In 1785 John Fuller LANE was killed by a female slave who put poison from a
  739. "scorpion" .... his drinking water.
  740.  
  741. John and Elizabeth CLOUD LANE's children were: Dorcas, Sarah, Jemima, Isaac,
  742. Tindence, Rhoda & John Dutton LANE.
  743.  
  744. Widow Elizabeth CLOUD LANE, though considerably older, married widower John
  745. CROUCH, Sr. This union brought the LANE and WARWICK families into close
  746. contact. Soon after the marriage the family moved to the Clinch River area
  747. into what is now Claiborne County.
  748.  
  749. On October 16th, 1800 in Grainger County, Tennessee, William "Willie"
  750. WARWICK, eldest son of John WARWICK of Randolph County, married Margaret
  751. "Peggy" LANE, eldest daughter of Isaac LANE and his wife Sarah RUSSELL. This
  752. union is the earliest record of the WARWICK family in what is now Union
  753. County (Tennessee).
  754.  
  755. The LANE's, who had been in Upper East Tennessee through the "King's
  756. Mountain" years had become good friends with John Sevier and his cohorts and
  757. it appears that they in some manner aided him and Stockley DONLESON in the
  758. notorious Indian "land grab" of the 1790's and 1800's.
  759.  
  760. The LANE's wound up with title to so much land that where was a LANE Land
  761. Company. A quote from the Grainger County Deed Book of 1813 will best
  762. explain the scope of the situation. William TYRELL traded Donelson's Cove "in
  763. the middle district of Tennessee on Roaring Spring Creek a large branch of
  764. Obby's River, North Side of Cumberland Mountain - Overton County, Tennessee"
  765. to John Dutton LANE in exchange for "40, 000 acres of land in the Eastern
  766. dist! rict Nor th side of the Tennessee River at the mouth of the little
  767. Chicamaga Creek."
  768.  
  769. The court decided the scope of this land transaction far extended the bound
  770. of the Grainger County Court and perhaps they felt, the jurisdiction of
  771. Tennessee itself. Isaac LANE began land transactions along the Clinch River
  772. in the early 1790's, on both sides of the river, "along the main road to
  773. Kentucky."
  774.  
  775. John & his son Willie "WORRICK" first appear in Anderson County in 1802, both
  776. on a tax list and the former included in road orders from the court. On the
  777. Tax List there is no property indicated. In the Grainger County Court on Feb
  778. 1804, James LANE (brother of Margaret LANE WARWICK) attests that a deed
  779. exists between the LANEs and John WARWICK.
  780.  
  781. It is my contention that the bulk of the WARWICK land in what is now Little
  782. Valley, Union County and in particular Warwick's Cross Roads was a wedding
  783. gift to the Warwick's from the LANE family.
  784.  
  785. On Feb 6th 1805, John WARWICK purchased an additional 100 acres on Hind's
  786. Creek in Anderson County from Stephen LEWIS. In 1816 John WARWICK purchased
  787. two more tracts (108 and 200 acres) in Grainger County from John Sally
  788. (SALLE) extending the WARWICK holding from Hind's Creek to beyond Crooked
  789. Creek. John WARWICK made his home on Hind's Creek near Well's Station - the
  790. area would soon be known as Warwick's Cross Roads.
  791.  
  792. Like his father, James, John WARWICK was a pious man, and became an ardent
  793. Baptist. It is uncertain exactly when this conversion occurred. Tindence
  794. LANE, John's daughter-in-law Peggy's uncle was perhaps one of the most
  795. prominent Baptist Ministers in early East Tennessee and is said to have been
  796. converted and ordained by the Rev. Shubal Stearns himself. John CROUCH, Sr.
  797. and his second wife Elizabeth CLOUD LANE CROUCH were early members of the Big
  798. Springs Baptist Church in Claiborne County.
  799.  
  800. Yet it is more likely that the main influence on John WARWICK was the Rev.
  801. Rich! ard NEWP ORT, who had been sent to East Tennessee from North Carolina in
  802. the late 1790's to win converts and organize churches.
  803.  
  804. According to the War of 1812 pension records, John WARWICK's daughter Nancy
  805. was married to George TURNER, Sr, by the Rev. Richard NEWPORT in 1803. The
  806. earliest mention of Warwick's Meeting House in Anderson County Records was in
  807. 1804. It became known as the Hinds Creek Baptist Church.
  808.  
  809. The Rev. NEWPORT, whose second wife was Hannah HINDS was also instrumental in
  810. establishing other Baptist Churches in the area: The Davis Creek church in
  811. Claiborne County in 1797; the Big Springs Baptist Church, also in Claiborne,
  812. as early as 1802, and the Hind's Creek Church at least by 1804, if not
  813. earlier. John WARWICK was joined in East Tennessee by his brothers Jacob
  814. and Wyatt WARWICK, although I am uncertain as to the exact date.
  815.  
  816. Jacob WARWICK left his will in Knox County (both written and proved) in 1808,
  817. leaving his estate to his wife Elizabeth and to his grandson Hartwell
  818. BRUMMITT, son of Elizabeth BRUMMITT. He also left items to his nieces: Sarah
  819. and Pheobe WARWICK, daughters of his brother Wyatt WARWICK. Wyatt WARWICK
  820. lived on 60 acres on Hind's Creek, Knox County. His wife's name was Mary
  821. "Polly" ____?_____. She was ten years or so his junior and may have been his
  822. second wife. Their children (the early ones may not be Polly's) were:
  823.  
  824. 1. Western WARWICK, married Fanny WALKER in Knox County in 1812 - then
  825. disappeared.
  826.  
  827. 2. Pheobe WARWICK, married Lewis EMBREE in 1826.
  828.  
  829. 3. Sarah "Sally" WARWICK, married Samuel AILOR in 1827.
  830.  
  831. 4. Haden WARWICK, married Catherine SHARP in 1833.
  832.  
  833. 5. Nancy WARWICK, married James SHARP in 1834.
  834.  
  835. 6. Orange WARWICK, married Dorcas Jane Johnson in 1837.
  836.  
  837. 7. There could be more children as yet undetermined.
  838.  
  839. Wyatt WARWICK died on Hinds Creek sometime around 1845. John WARWICK of
  840. Warwick's Cross Roads is last mentioned in official Anderson Count! y Court< BR>Records in 1819. He is last mentioned in the minutes of the Hind's Creek
  841. Baptist Church in 1821 and he probably died circa this time. There is no
  842. mention of his wife in either records and he may have been a widower
  843. before coming to East Tennessee. Though it is uncertain, it is believed that
  844. Miss HAMILTON was the mother of all his children, and there certainly seems
  845. to have been more children than are known to me at this time. A John WARWICK
  846. who married Elizabeth MARKWELL in Kentucky in 1790 may have been a son that
  847. did not move to Tennessee or perhaps a son of Jacob or Wyatt ? In the 1830
  848. Grainger County census there is a widow Mary Warwick who had probably been
  849. married to a son of John WARWICK whose name is now lost. The known children
  850. are:
  851.  
  852. A. Delilah WARWICK, born 1777, married John JAMES.
  853.  
  854. B. William WARWICK, who always used his nickname "Willie", often spelled
  855. "Wiley", was born in 1779 and died sometime between 1853 and 1860. His first
  856. wife was Margaret "Peggy" LANE, who died sometime between 1830-1840. His
  857. second wife was Katherine ____?____. Willie WARWICK and his brother-in-law
  858. John JAMES were instrumental in establishing the Zion HillBaptist Church
  859. (originally called Equality) in 1848. Willie WARWICK is believed to be
  860. buried there.
  861.  
  862. The children of Willie and Peggy WARWICK were:
  863. 1. J. (John) Elias WARWICK, born 1801, married Mary MONROE.
  864.  
  865. 2. William WARWICK, born 1802, married Tempy ___?___, one time squire of
  866. Anderson County. He died of a nose bleed in early 1850.
  867.  
  868. 3. Nancy WARWICK, born 24 Nov 1811, died 2 Sep 1881, married James W. TURNER.
  869.  
  870. 4. Patsy WARWICK, married Archilus SMITH.
  871.  
  872. 5. Calloway WARWICK, born circa 1820.
  873.  
  874. 6. Willis WARWICK, born circa 1824.
  875.  
  876. 7. Volena WARWICK, born circa 1825, never married, died of consumption in
  877. 1850. There are probably more children. It does not seem that there were any
  878. children by the second marriage.
  879.  
  880. C. Nancy E! lizabeth Warwick, born 1783, died circa 1868, married on 1 Apr 1803
  881. to George TURNER, Sr.
  882.  
  883. D. Willis WARWICK, born 1787, died 14 Nov 1866, married Elizabeth TURNER,
  884. both are buried at Old Zion Hill Church. Their children were:
  885.  
  886. 1. Edwin WARWICK, born 12 Nov 1806, married Elizabeth
  887.  
  888. 2. Lewis WARWICK, born 13 May 1808, married Elmira "Myra" LEWIS.
  889.  
  890. 3. Berry WARWICK, born 16 Oct 1809, married Lurana ___?___.
  891.  
  892. 4. John WARWICK, born 1 May 1812, never married.
  893.  
  894. 5. Delilah WARWICK, born 24 Dec 1813, never married.
  895.  
  896. 6. Preston WARWICK, born 20 Sep 1816, married Charity C. HANSARD.
  897.  
  898. 7. Willis WARWICK, Jr., born 4 Dec 1818, married Elizabeth LEWIS.
  899.  
  900. 8. Ewell Dee WARWICK, born 20 Dec 1820, married Lucy Jane HANSARD.
  901.  
  902. 9. Emanuel WARWICK, born 3 April 1823, married Dicy NELSON or JACKSON.
  903.  
  904. 10. Sarah WARWICK, born 3 Sept 1828, was never married.
  905.  
  906. E. Marcy WARWICK, John's youngest daughter who was born 1788 and seems to
  907. have taken care of her father in later years, never married. After her
  908. father's death she remained in the old cabin and in her old age was cared for

  933.            <content:encoded><![CDATA[The following is info I have on my ancestors in early Virginia.  Am specifically looking for any information on William Warwicks disappearance after 1759, and burial sites for John Warwick, Janet Gay and Martha Stevenson.
  934.  
  935. Warwick, William "Willie" C. (b. 1779, d. ?)
  936. Note: SOURCE NOTES:
  937. SOURCE NOTES:
  938. William "Willie" C. Warwick was also known as "Wiley".
  939.  
  940. Full name is William Calloway WARWICK
  941.  
  942. Origins of the WARWICK Family
  943.  
  944. The information and succeeding material on the decendents of William C.
  945. Warwick was in large part supplied by Mr. Harry Dennis Hatcher of Chicago,
  946. Illinois, to whom I gratefully acknowledge his hard work for the supplements
  947. of the Warwick family history which is included here. He has been researching
  948. the WARWICK surname for years.
  949.  
  950. Family tradition states that the Warwick brothers, William and John, came to
  951. America from England. The date and place of their arrival are uncertain -
  952. but by the late 1730's they had settled in the lower Shenandoah Valley in the
  953. newly formed Augusta County, Virginia. An early historian, William T. Price,
  954. stated that the first Warwick in the area was a Lieutenant and surveyor for
  955. the Crown, sent to the area from James City. But the Augusta records make no
  956. mention of such an officer or surveyor. After a great deal of research it
  957. seems more plausible that the WARWICKs were tradesmen from a merchant family
  958. in Brunswick. They are early on referred to as leathersmiths and cobblers
  959. and probably came to America to raise cattle for their hides and trade for
  960. forest furs.
  961.  
  962. The Immigrant WARWICK Brothers
  963.  
  964. The eldest brother, William, married Elizabeth DUNLAP of Middlebrook sometime
  965. around 1737 in Orange County, Virginia. The following year John Lewis'
  966. frontier settlement was removed from the jurisdiction of Orange and the new
  967. eminence Augusta County was formed. Elizabeth was the daughter of Alexander
  968. DUNLAP and his wife Janet Ann McFARLAND (sometimes referred to as "Jenot" or
  969. "Jeani"). Alexander is said to have been the son of a soldier who was at the
  970. siege of Londondarry. Mrs. DUNLAP was a ! descende nt of Calan McFARLAND.
  971.  
  972. Alexander & Ann McFARLAND DUNLAP had originally settled near Philadelphia
  973. before moving to Middlebrook, a settlement at the head waters of the Middle
  974. River in Virginia.
  975.  
  976. In the early 1740's the DUNLAPs moved west over the Great North Mountain and
  977. settled on the Calfpasture River. It is said that they were the first to
  978. live on the "Pastures" (the area around the Calf, Cow & Bullpasture Rivers)
  979. and at that time the farthest most western settlers on the Virginia frontier.
  980.  
  981. In 1743 Alexander DUNLAP was appointed Captain of horse in the militia, but
  982. the following year, 1744, he died. His widow later married Robert BRATTON.
  983.  
  984. Captain Alexander and Ann DUNLAP are known to have had at least four
  985. children: John, Robert, Alexander Jr. and Elizabeth, wife of William
  986. WARWICK.
  987.  
  988. It is uncertain whether William and Elizabeth WARWICK joined Capt. DUNLAP
  989. when he ventured into the pastures or raised their family in Middlebrook,
  990. However all their children were born in Augusta County - Janet or Jean,
  991. James, Martha, William Jr., John and Jacob, the latter being the youngest
  992. born in 1747.
  993.  
  994. In 1750 William WARWICK patented land on Jackson's River which lies just east
  995. of the crest of the Allegheny Mountains - border between present day "old"
  996. and West Virginia in what is now Bath County.
  997.  
  998. William's brother John WARWICK came with him to the area. It is known that
  999. the younger WARWICK worked on the farm of William Wilson from 1757 to 1758
  1000. and may have been married into the family.
  1001.  
  1002. William WARWICK saw service during the French and Indian War under Capt.
  1003. George Wilson - and appears on this Company's Muster Roll of 11 August 1756
  1004. as a private. The ever present danger of Indian attack during these years
  1005. prompted the WARWICK's and other settlers along Jackson's River to retire
  1006. eastward over Jack Mountain and resettle on the Cowpasture River. William
  1007. Warwick patented 216 acres there in 1759. ! His brother John also moved to the
  1008. Cowpasture at this time and took a three year lease at 4 L (Lira) annually on
  1009. 149 acres that belonged to James GAY. Mr. GAY had married William &
  1010. Elizabeth WARWICK's eldest daughter Jenot (Jean). Sometime soon after the
  1011. last move, William WARWICK left the Virginia Frontier bound for England. He
  1012. never returned.
  1013.  
  1014. In 1763-64, his brother John, his daughter Janet married to James GAY and
  1015. another daughter Martha who was married to Major John STEVENSON were killed
  1016. by the Shawnee.  (Kerr’s Creek massacre).
  1017.  
  1018. The WARWICK Brothers of West Virginia
  1019.  
  1020. Joseph BELL was made guardian of the WARWICK children - "until William's
  1021. return". Nineteen year old John WARWICK joined the punitive Boquet Expedition
  1022. against the Shawnee in 1704 and was awarded 80 acres in 1780 for his
  1023. services.
  1024.  
  1025. In 1779, after the family had been nearly twenty years with no word from
  1026. William - he was "given up for dead" and Elizabeth DUNLAP WARWICK married
  1027. long time friend Andrew SITLINGTON. Andrew died 15 April 1804 and Elizabeth
  1028. was still living on 3December 1805.
  1029.  
  1030. James WARWICK, the eldest son - his exact birth date is unknown but, was
  1031. probably circa 1740 - married Elizabeth CROUCH.
  1032.  
  1033. The CROUCH brothers - John, Andrew and James had moved to America from Wales
  1034. in the late 1740's. They are first found in Virginia in 1750 and settled on
  1035. the North Branch of the Potomac River in far North Western Augusta County.
  1036. The French and Indian War forced them to retire westward to the Pastures,
  1037. where James and Elizabeth met and married. After the Treaty of 1764 the
  1038. CROUCH's again headed west. settling this time in Tygart's Valley. The
  1039. settlement had been founded in 1754 by David TYGART and Robert FOYLE on a
  1040. branch of the Monongalia River that now bears the former's name - Tygart
  1041. Valley River.
  1042.  
  1043. The war with France had temporarily destroyed the settlement, but as soon as
  1044. the hostilities ceased the settlers returned. By 1772 nearly all of the landin th e Valley was settled, but none of the occupants had clear title or
  1045. official patents to their claims.
  1046.  
  1047. When Andrew CROUCH and his brothers moved to the area in the late 1760's his
  1048. daughter Elizabeth and son-in-law James WARWICK came with them. Near the Old
  1049. Brick Church in the Huttonsville District, present day Randolph County, West
  1050. Virginia, James WARWICK cleared the land, built a cabin and planted his crops
  1051. - by virtue of this he claimed the surrounding creek bottom. It seems that
  1052. one John S. William WHITE also claimed the land.
  1053.  
  1054. The White brother's proposed to settle the matter by a "resort to a fight,
  1055. fist and skull". James WARWICK, fearing the result, traded lands with his
  1056. father-in-law, Andrew CROUCH, who was to clear his new title by attempting
  1057. the challenge of the other claimants. Mr. CROUCH met and vanquished William
  1058. WHITE who accepted the result with satisfaction. WHITE and CROUCH became
  1059. close friends. John WHITE was killed in the battle of Point Pleasant.
  1060. William WHITE fell a victim to Indians in what is now Upshur County, West
  1061. Virginia.
  1062.  
  1063. In 1857, historian William T. Price interviewed one Major Andrew CROUCH,
  1064. nephew of his above namesake. This aged man related: "When he was six years
  1065. old (circa 1773) his father (John CROUCH) took him to the cornfield and while
  1066. he worked the little boy sat on the fence. One of his uncles came up in
  1067. great haste, bringing the news that Lewis KINNAN and three of his children
  1068. had just been killed by Indians. The CROUCHs hurried their families to the
  1069. home of James WARWICK, not far from where the old Brick Church stood. In
  1070. their hurry the CROUCH brothers and WARWICK seized their guns to go help the
  1071. families exposed to the Indians farther up the river, (but) they neglected to
  1072. barricade the fort, and so the little boy and the two little girls went out
  1073. to the branch. While the little boy was washing the blood from his face,
  1074. caused by his nose bleeding, the little girl! s became frightened and without
  1075. saying anything, ran back into the fort and left him alone. When his
  1076. bleeding stopped he went back and found the fort barricaded. The CROUCH
  1077. brothers had been met by some persons from the lower fort, took them along
  1078. and so their wives their wives and children were left to themselves at
  1079. WARWICK's to make out the best they could. When the boy came to the fort he
  1080. heard his aunt in a loud voice giving orders as if there was quite a number
  1081. of men in the fort. When in fact the force consisted of three white women,
  1082. one black man & his wife and some children.
  1083.  
  1084. An Indian climbed to the roof of the fort building after night and set it on
  1085. fire.
  1086.  
  1087. The black man put it out, then the stable was fired. The black man said they
  1088. should not burn the horse, he went out and carefully approached the place,
  1089. seeing an Indian by the light, shot at him and let the horse out and safely
  1090. returned to the fort. He dared the Indians to come on and as there seemed to
  1091. be but two or three that showed themselves it seems they were not disposed to
  1092. storm the loud but little garrison. When the barn burned down and it became
  1093. dark the black woman insisted on leaving the fort and giving the alarm
  1094. farther down. She was allowed to do so and the next day the men came up and
  1095. moved all farther down. Then the little boy and eight others went to bury
  1096. the dead - Lewis KINNAN and his three children. After the burial, the men
  1097. seeing no signs of Indians, believed they had withdrawn and so they
  1098. disbanded. But late in the evening an Indian killed Frank RIFFLE near where
  1099. the Brick Church stood and burned two houses not far away belonging to James
  1100. LACKEY...".
  1101.  
  1102. The black man in WARWICK's fortified cabin that night of the siege was a
  1103. slave of James WARWICK and according to the elderly Major CROUCH, James,
  1104. "rewarded his faithful negro with his freedom for saving the fort".
  1105.  
  1106. The old Major CROUCH also related that his uncle James WARWICK ! was a sm all
  1107. man and this was the reason he felt he could not take on the WHITE brothers
  1108. in a fight. Others relate that James WARWICK was a school teacher and a very
  1109. pious man. His early education was under the tutorage of the Rev. John
  1110. CRAIG, the compassionate Presbyterian minister of the Western Virginia
  1111. frontier. It is also said that the WARWICK brothers (sons of William) were
  1112. converted to that faith by him.
  1113.  
  1114. If James WARWICK was a small and quite man, his youngest brother Jacob, born
  1115. in 1747, was the exact opposite. According to historian Price, he was tall,
  1116. muscular and quite aggressive.
  1117.  
  1118. In 1765, while still a teenager, Jacob WARWICK married Mary VANCE (1750-
  1119. 1823), the daughter of Colonel John P. VANCE and his wife Martha ___?___.
  1120. During the early years of their marriage they lived at Dunmore in present day
  1121. Pocahontas County, West Virginia - all of their children were born there.
  1122. Jacob WARWICK was a cattleman and Indian fighter. He joined the punitive
  1123. expedition against the Ohio tribes known as Lord Dunmore's War in 1774, as a
  1124. private.
  1125.  
  1126. On October 10th that same year at Point Pleasant he was among a group of men
  1127. who quite by accident were credited for turning the tide of battle that day.
  1128. Jacob and several other men had been detailed to kill deer for the army and
  1129. were returning from the hunt that day and were mistaken by the old Indian war
  1130. chief, Cornstalk, as re-enforcements, swaying his decision to surrender.
  1131.  
  1132. Jacob spent a lifetime fighting the Shawnee but he related "was never sure
  1133. but killing one Indian". Soon after that affair at point pleasant, Jacob
  1134. went among the Shawnee on a trading excursion to secure skins and furs. While
  1135. there he saw that many white captives had not been returned as required by
  1136. the treaty. At first he attempted to buy a young boy's freedom from his
  1137. adopted Indian parents but they refused to relinquish him. He dropped the
  1138. matter and waited until their guard was down, stol! e the ch ild, and returned
  1139. him to Augusta County.
  1140.  
  1141. There are many accounts of white captives being returned by Jacob in the
  1142. history of Western Virginia and some believe that he was driven and
  1143. discovered others while searching for some of his own missing children and
  1144. relatives.
  1145.  
  1146. Warwick's During the American Revolution
  1147.  
  1148. With the outbreak of the Revolution, Indian hostilities encouraged by the
  1149. British broke out on the Virginia frontier.
  1150.  
  1151. On December 7th 1777, during an unexpected snowstorm, twenty three Indians
  1152. penetrated the Tygart's Settlements and attacked Darby Connelly's house.
  1153. Darby was at the time on the roof removing snow. They killed him, his wife
  1154. and several children, taking three prisoners. They then proceeded a short
  1155. distance down the river to the next cabin, that of John Stuart. They killed
  1156. John, his wife and child and took Miss HAMILTON, his wife's sister, prisoner.
  1157.  
  1158. John HADDEN discovered the bodies the following day and notified Capt. Ben
  1159. WILSON. A group of settlers pursued the raiders but lost the trail. It is
  1160. related that in time Jacob WARWICK returned Mary HAMILTON to the settlement.
  1161. Administration of John STUART's estate was granted on March 7, 1773 to
  1162. William HAMILTON. The estate of Darby CONNELLY was appraised by William
  1163. HAMILTON, John HAMILTON and John WARWICK.
  1164.  
  1165. At the same point, probably around 1774 to 1775, James WARWICK relocated
  1166. further south to the Greenbrier River, leaving his land to his eldest son,
  1167. John WARWICK. John was probably bornsometime around 1759 or 1760. He
  1168. married a Miss Nancy HAMILTON (as of this writing, I have been unable to
  1169. determine who her parents were, though it seems to be either John of William
  1170. Jr.
  1171.  
  1172. William HAMILTON Sr. and his wife Else (Alice) had immigrated from England
  1173. via Pennsylvania to Augusta County, Virginia prior to 1749. They first took
  1174. up residence in an old Indian camping hut on Back Creek, a branch of
  1175. Jackson's River. Sometime a! round 17 67 they moved to Tygart's Valley with
  1176. their sons: John, James, William Jr., Andrew and Alexander HAMILTON, all
  1177. mature men in the 1750's.
  1178.  
  1179. John WARWICK, (son of James, and later of Warwick's Cross Roads) married Miss
  1180. HAMILTON circa 1775 in Tygart's Valley. In the first year of the Revolution
  1181. the area, then part of West Augusta, was formed into Monongalia County. On a
  1182. list of contributors to the Continental Army housed in Monongalia County
  1183. Court House appears the name John WARWICK. It is related that John WARWICK
  1184. on several occasions drove large herds of cattle to both Virginia and
  1185. Pennsylvania to help feed Washington's Army.
  1186.  
  1187. His Uncle William WARWICK Jr. served three years as a sergeant in the
  1188. Virginia State Artillery for which he received a land bounty warrant # 839,
  1189. for 200 acres on Deer Creek.
  1190.  
  1191. Uncle Jacob WARWICK was commissioned Lieutenant of the Augusta Militia under
  1192. Capt. William KINCAID and held that rank and position throughout the war.
  1193.  
  1194. John WARWICK's great uncle Robert DUNLAP was killed at Gulford Court House.
  1195.  
  1196. During the early years of the war John and Nancy WARWICK had the following
  1197. children: Delilah born circa 1777 and William, called Willie born circa
  1198. 1779.
  1199.  
  1200. John does not appear on any known Militia list; nevertheless, he is known to
  1201. have participated in several Indian fights during the war years.
  1202.  
  1203. In March 1780 a neighbor, Thomas LACKEY observed moccasin tracks in the path
  1204. near Fort Hadden and while examining them he heard someone in an undertone
  1205. say "Let him alone. He will go and bring more." LACKEY went to the fort and
  1206. reported what he had seen and heard but it was not believed. There were at
  1207. the time several men from Greenbrier staying all night in the fort, intending
  1208. to start home the next morning. Among them was Lt. Jacob WARWICK who had
  1209. been visiting his nephew John. When they set out a few of the men belonging
  1210. to the area, including John, accompanied them a short d! istance.
  1211.  
  1212. Although warned of the danger, they approached the spot carelessly and were
  1213. fired upon by the Indians. Lt. WARWICK's horse was hit and sank to the
  1214. ground as if dead, but as Jacob was in the act of throwing off his cloak to
  1215. fight, the horse rose and WARWICK darted off at top speed. WARWICK promised
  1216. his horse that if he would carry him to safely away that he need never work
  1217. again. Though wounded in the thigh, the horse did as Jacob wished. The ball
  1218. was extracted and Lt. WARWICK kept his promise.
  1219.  
  1220. The footmen from the fort were surrounded and their only chance for escape
  1221. was to cross the shallow river and climb a hill on the opposite side. John
  1222. McLAIN was killed 30 yards from the crest, James RALSTON still nearer the
  1223. top, James CROUCH (John WARWICK's uncle) was wounded as he reached the crest
  1224. but made his way to the fort the next day. John NELSON, after crossing the
  1225. river, attempted to escape down the bank, but was met by an Indian and was
  1226. killed after a desperate hand to hand battle, as was evidenced by his
  1227. shattered gunstock, the uptorn earth and the locks of Indian hair in his
  1228. still clutched hand. John WARWICK, though shaken, reached the fort
  1229. unscathed.
  1230.  
  1231. During this time, John's father & mother, James & Elizabeth CROUCH WARWICK,
  1232. were residing in the newly formed (1778) Greenbrier County. In 1780 the
  1233. court there ordered James to be appointed constable in Capt. Hugh MILLER's
  1234. company. In 1781 James was summoned to the next court to show cause why he
  1235. "does not qualify as a constable." Perhaps he was too short and shy to
  1236. shoulder such a responsibility. On 24 April 1783, James was called as a
  1237. witness along with several women, Mary Ann MASON, Ann WILLIAMS, Ann CRAIG,
  1238. Mary PRICE, Sarah CARLISE and his wife in the case against Amy BRATTON on
  1239. suspicion of murdering her illegitimate child. The court found enough
  1240. evidence of guilt and Amy was jailed, awaiting trial in Richmond.
  1241.  
  1242. The Migration from West V! irginia< BR>
  1243. Just prior to the American Revolution the DUNLAP's, GAY's and WARWICK's had
  1244. made several exploratory trading trips through Kentucky to what is now Ohio.
  1245. In 1780 James GAY Jr., was in the process of settling on the Elk River near
  1246. present day Lexington, Kentucky when word of the Indian raid on Hadden's
  1247. Fort prompted him to return and enlist in the Militia there. In 1782 James
  1248. DUNLAP, at age 15, the first cousin of James WARWICK, patented 1, 200 acres
  1249. of land on the Elk River in what is now Woodford County, Kentucky, for his
  1250. father, Alexander DUNLAP Jr. During Lord Dunmore's War in 1794, little James
  1251. at age six was mounted on a black stallion, whose back had been tarred so as
  1252. to enable him to stick to his stead, and sent with a message through Indian
  1253. lines from Clover Lick to Warwick's Fort on Deer Creek to bring assistance.
  1254.  
  1255. In 1784 a large wagon train of kinsmen was formed intent on settling these
  1256. lands on the Elk River. James GAY Jr., Col. Alexander DUNLAP Jr, John WARWICK
  1257. (son of William Sr) and his brother Lt. Jacob WARWICK all headed westward
  1258. with their families. While crossing the mountains, the advance scouts
  1259. were killed by Indians and left in the path scalped and naked. The sight was
  1260. too much for Jacob's wife Mary and she refused to proceed further.
  1261.  
  1262. Alexander deeded over his DUNLAP lands at Clover Lick to Jacob and they
  1263. returned to Virginia. Brother John WARWICK continued on to the Elk River
  1264. where his sons and daughters grew to adulthood and married. His eldest son
  1265. Jacob (II) married Jane MONTGOMERY and later moved to Indiana where he was
  1266. killed at the Battle of Tippacanoe while serving under William Henry HARRISON
  1267. as a Captain. Capt. WARWICK's bravery in this action of 1811 won him the
  1268. esteem and admiration of his General and later President HARRISON. WARRICK
  1269. (the spelling of the family name at the time) County, Indiana is named for
  1270. him. Lt. Jacob WARWICK returned to Virginia, lived at Clover Lick! for som e
  1271. time, then settled on his Jackson's River lands. When Bath County, Virginia
  1272. was formed in 1791, he was among the first Justices of the Peace. Old Lt.
  1273. Jacob WARWICK died January 11th 1826 and is buried on the west bank of
  1274. Jackson's River near Fort Dinwiddie.
  1275.  
  1276. James CROUCH, who had been wounded at the raid at Hadden's Fort had - had
  1277. enough of Shawnees and moved southward and settled in Washington County,
  1278. North Carolina (now Tennessee). It is uncertain whether he long survived his
  1279. wounds but his sons appear on Washington County Tax Lists as early as 1787.
  1280. John WARWICK (son of James) for the time being remained in Tygart's Valley.
  1281. Daughter Nancy WARWICK was born there in 1783. In the summer of 1784 he
  1282. purchased the lands of William HADDEN, who had moved to Fayette County,
  1283. Virginia (now Kentucky), 186 acres in Monongalia County.
  1284.  
  1285. That same year Harrison County was formed. Sometime before 1785 John
  1286. WARWICK's grandfather Andrew CROUCH died leaving his grandmother Judy to be
  1287. cared for.
  1288.  
  1289. In 1787 Randolph County was formed from Harrison. That same year John
  1290. WARWICK reported several of his horses had been stolen by Indians. A Tax
  1291. List of that year shows John with: seven slaves, 15 horses and 69 head of
  1292. cattle. Also in 1787, son Willis WARWICK was born, the following year
  1293. daughter Mercy WARWICK was born.
  1294.  
  1295. Due to the lack of good records, what happened during the next decade, 1790
  1296. to 1800, has been a very difficult segment of the WARWICK history to uncover,
  1297. nevertheless there are enough bits and places to assemble a somewhat vague
  1298. understanding of the events that transpired and how some of the WARWICK's
  1299. came to be in East Tennessee.
  1300.  
  1301. In 1786 the first wife, Mary, of "uncle" John WARWICK passed away at their
  1302. new home near the Elk River in what is now Clark County, Kentucky. It seems
  1303. arrangements were made to take a second wife, the "old maid" daughter of John
  1304. CROUCH, Sr., who has just recently died of ! a snake bite. The elder John
  1305. CROUCH, now deceased, was, of course, one of the original Welsh immigrants
  1306. and brother of James WARWICK's father-in-law.
  1307.  
  1308. Eleanor CROUCH was escorted to Kentucky, to her new home and husband by two
  1309. of her first cousins children: Jacob and Wyatt, sons of James & Elizabeth
  1310. CROUCH WARWICK. After their mission had been accomplished, Jacob and Wyatt
  1311. chose not to return to Virginia but remained in the Lexington area with their
  1312. uncle and other kinsmen.
  1313.  
  1314. A daughter of James and Elizabeth WARWICK, whose first name is unknown as of
  1315. this writing, is believed to have married James BOGGS. Mr. BOGGS became a
  1316. renowned Indian tracker and an early explorer of Southern Ohio.
  1317.  
  1318. Sometime around the mid 1790's, James WARWICK and his wife's brother Joseph
  1319. CROUCH, probably encouraged by good reports from Wyatt, Jacob and Mrs. BOGGS,
  1320. decided to relocate in the North West Territory. They probably stopped and
  1321. stayed for a while in Kentucky but of this I am uncertain. Regardless, by
  1322. the turn of the century they had settled in Ross County, Ohio in Concord
  1323. Township.
  1324.  
  1325. James Warwick made his home at Old Town, once sacred capital of the Shawnee
  1326. Nation, and it was here that he died sometime between 1810 and 1820. He had
  1327. been accompanied to the area by his youngest son William born circa 1760-
  1328. 1770. Son, William had cleared a farm in Paint Township and had at least
  1329. four sons: William Jr., James, John and Alexander WARWICK. According to Old
  1330. Major CROUCH in 1857 one of these grandsons of James became a congressman
  1331. from Ohio, but he did not indicate which one.
  1332.  
  1333. James WARWICK's sons, Jacob and Wyatt, did not accompany him and their
  1334. youngest brother, William, to Ohio but remained in Kentucky. Details of
  1335. their lives there have thus far been impossible to ascertain. Wyatt WARWICK
  1336. appears as a witness on a document dated 28 Dec 1795, concerning the transfer
  1337. of lands on Elk River in Fayette County. Jacob WARWICK! , son of James, is
  1338. found on a Montgomery County, Kentucky Tax List dated 1797. Curiously, among
  1339. the men on this same list are: John HAMILTON, James LANE and James HINDS.
  1340. The next time their names are found in the records are 1807, living on Hinds
  1341. Creek in then Knox County, Tennessee.
  1342.  
  1343. There is probably a connection here, but I am uncertain as to what it is.
  1344. Perhaps in your investigation of the Hinds Family, you may have more of an
  1345. idea than I. The John HAMILTON which appears on the list is the son of James
  1346. HAMILTON, uncle to John WARWICK of Randolph county's wife. He had moved to
  1347. Kentucky prior to 1774 when the area was still known as Fincastle County,
  1348. Virginia.
  1349.  
  1350. This same John HAMILTON is also an early settler of Ross County, Ohio. As of
  1351. this writing, I have very limited knowledge of the Hamilton's that settled
  1352. Hamilton's Cross Roads now Union County, Tennessee. The earliest mention I
  1353. have found concerning them is in a Knoxville newspaper dated August 12th
  1354. 1794, when 15 Indians attacked the Bull Run Blockhouse, stealing Hind's,
  1355. Barton's and Hamilton's horses. Whether William, Peter and Alexander HAMILTON
  1356. of Hind's Ridge are in-laws of John WARWICK of Warwick's Cross Roads of this
  1357. I am not certain. Regardless of whether there is or is not any HAMILTON or
  1358. HINDS connection that may have influenced the WARWICK brothers move to
  1359. Tennessee, the prime motivation was the following:
  1360.  
  1361. As stated earlier the children of John WARWICK's uncle, James CROUCH, moved
  1362. into upper East Tennessee as early as 1787. In a contemporaneous account of
  1363. the area, an early historian makes mention of WARNICK traders and also add
  1364. that they must have been part Indian. I can find no other records of
  1365. WARWICK's in East Tennessee at this time other than this brief passage. (It
  1366. should probably be noted that there is one Martin WYRICK who settled briefly
  1367. in Sullivan County before relocating in Lee County, Virginia, and it is
  1368. perhaps his son Willi! am WYRIC K that settles in Grainger County, but there is
  1369. no known connection between the two families).
  1370.  
  1371. It is my belief that John WARWICK of Randolph, like his uncle Jacob (or even
  1372. with him) made trade excursions among the Tennessee settlement and the
  1373. Cherokee for furs and other forest products. Particularly prior to the
  1374. Revolution, Western Virginia settlers made many friends among the Cherokee,
  1375. the of course, shared a common enemy, the Shawnee.
  1376.  
  1377. I can find no evidence that any WARWICK ever had an Indian bride.
  1378. Nevertheless, it is possible that John WARWICK may have been married more
  1379. than once and that one of those wives could possibly have been a Cherokee,
  1380. perhaps from the villages Northwest of Wall's Station ? Yet it is probably
  1381. more plausible that the old historian made his deduction based on appearance
  1382. alone.
  1383.  
  1384. It would not have been unusual for white men on extended excursions into the
  1385. wilderness to adapt the attire of the local inhabitants, some perhaps going
  1386. so far as to let their pony tails down and the wearing of feathers. A third
  1387. possibility is that John Warwick had been held captive as a young by the
  1388. Shawnee, perhaps rescued by the Cherokee, and on visits dressed like them and
  1389. spoke their language so well that he could be mistaken for part Indian.
  1390. There are, of course, only possible explanations for the above "Indian"
  1391. statement, and the real reason behind it may never be known. What is
  1392. important is that John WARWICK and probably his sons were in and out of
  1393. Tennessee in the late 1780's and early 1790's and remained in contact with
  1394. the CROUCH's there - first cousins and childhood friends of John WARWICK -
  1395. Joseph & John CROUCH and their sons - James, John Jr, Jesse and Elijah
  1396. CROUCH.
  1397.  
  1398. In 1786 John CROUCH, Sr. married the widow of John Fuller LANE. The LANE
  1399. family had been in America since the mid 17th century and originally hailed
  1400. from Maryland. John Fuller LANE was born around 1727 near Baltimore and was!
  1401. the son of Richard LANE and Sarah Fuller.
  1402.  
  1403. In 1746 John F. LANE married Elizabeth CLOUD, daughter of Isaac CLOUD and
  1404. moved to Pittsylvania County, Virginia where they lived during the early
  1405. years of the Revolution.
  1406.  
  1407. Around 1779 John Fuller LANE, accompanied by his brother, Tidence LANE, moved
  1408. to Washington County, North Carolina (now Tennessee) and settled on Boone and
  1409. Cedar Creeks.
  1410.  
  1411. In 1785 John Fuller LANE was killed by a female slave who put poison from a
  1412. "scorpion" .... his drinking water.
  1413.  
  1414. John and Elizabeth CLOUD LANE's children were: Dorcas, Sarah, Jemima, Isaac,
  1415. Tindence, Rhoda & John Dutton LANE.
  1416.  
  1417. Widow Elizabeth CLOUD LANE, though considerably older, married widower John
  1418. CROUCH, Sr. This union brought the LANE and WARWICK families into close
  1419. contact. Soon after the marriage the family moved to the Clinch River area
  1420. into what is now Claiborne County.
  1421.  
  1422. On October 16th, 1800 in Grainger County, Tennessee, William "Willie"
  1423. WARWICK, eldest son of John WARWICK of Randolph County, married Margaret
  1424. "Peggy" LANE, eldest daughter of Isaac LANE and his wife Sarah RUSSELL. This
  1425. union is the earliest record of the WARWICK family in what is now Union
  1426. County (Tennessee).
  1427.  
  1428. The LANE's, who had been in Upper East Tennessee through the "King's
  1429. Mountain" years had become good friends with John Sevier and his cohorts and
  1430. it appears that they in some manner aided him and Stockley DONLESON in the
  1431. notorious Indian "land grab" of the 1790's and 1800's.
  1432.  
  1433. The LANE's wound up with title to so much land that where was a LANE Land
  1434. Company. A quote from the Grainger County Deed Book of 1813 will best
  1435. explain the scope of the situation. William TYRELL traded Donelson's Cove "in
  1436. the middle district of Tennessee on Roaring Spring Creek a large branch of
  1437. Obby's River, North Side of Cumberland Mountain - Overton County, Tennessee"
  1438. to John Dutton LANE in exchange for "40, 000 acres of land in the Eastern
  1439. dist! rict Nor th side of the Tennessee River at the mouth of the little
  1440. Chicamaga Creek."
  1441.  
  1442. The court decided the scope of this land transaction far extended the bound
  1443. of the Grainger County Court and perhaps they felt, the jurisdiction of
  1444. Tennessee itself. Isaac LANE began land transactions along the Clinch River
  1445. in the early 1790's, on both sides of the river, "along the main road to
  1446. Kentucky."
  1447.  
  1448. John & his son Willie "WORRICK" first appear in Anderson County in 1802, both
  1449. on a tax list and the former included in road orders from the court. On the
  1450. Tax List there is no property indicated. In the Grainger County Court on Feb
  1451. 1804, James LANE (brother of Margaret LANE WARWICK) attests that a deed
  1452. exists between the LANEs and John WARWICK.
  1453.  
  1454. It is my contention that the bulk of the WARWICK land in what is now Little
  1455. Valley, Union County and in particular Warwick's Cross Roads was a wedding
  1456. gift to the Warwick's from the LANE family.
  1457.  
  1458. On Feb 6th 1805, John WARWICK purchased an additional 100 acres on Hind's
  1459. Creek in Anderson County from Stephen LEWIS. In 1816 John WARWICK purchased
  1460. two more tracts (108 and 200 acres) in Grainger County from John Sally
  1461. (SALLE) extending the WARWICK holding from Hind's Creek to beyond Crooked
  1462. Creek. John WARWICK made his home on Hind's Creek near Well's Station - the
  1463. area would soon be known as Warwick's Cross Roads.
  1464.  
  1465. Like his father, James, John WARWICK was a pious man, and became an ardent
  1466. Baptist. It is uncertain exactly when this conversion occurred. Tindence
  1467. LANE, John's daughter-in-law Peggy's uncle was perhaps one of the most
  1468. prominent Baptist Ministers in early East Tennessee and is said to have been
  1469. converted and ordained by the Rev. Shubal Stearns himself. John CROUCH, Sr.
  1470. and his second wife Elizabeth CLOUD LANE CROUCH were early members of the Big
  1471. Springs Baptist Church in Claiborne County.
  1472.  
  1473. Yet it is more likely that the main influence on John WARWICK was the Rev.
  1474. Rich! ard NEWP ORT, who had been sent to East Tennessee from North Carolina in
  1475. the late 1790's to win converts and organize churches.
  1476.  
  1477. According to the War of 1812 pension records, John WARWICK's daughter Nancy
  1478. was married to George TURNER, Sr, by the Rev. Richard NEWPORT in 1803. The
  1479. earliest mention of Warwick's Meeting House in Anderson County Records was in
  1480. 1804. It became known as the Hinds Creek Baptist Church.
  1481.  
  1482. The Rev. NEWPORT, whose second wife was Hannah HINDS was also instrumental in
  1483. establishing other Baptist Churches in the area: The Davis Creek church in
  1484. Claiborne County in 1797; the Big Springs Baptist Church, also in Claiborne,
  1485. as early as 1802, and the Hind's Creek Church at least by 1804, if not
  1486. earlier. John WARWICK was joined in East Tennessee by his brothers Jacob
  1487. and Wyatt WARWICK, although I am uncertain as to the exact date.
  1488.  
  1489. Jacob WARWICK left his will in Knox County (both written and proved) in 1808,
  1490. leaving his estate to his wife Elizabeth and to his grandson Hartwell
  1491. BRUMMITT, son of Elizabeth BRUMMITT. He also left items to his nieces: Sarah
  1492. and Pheobe WARWICK, daughters of his brother Wyatt WARWICK. Wyatt WARWICK
  1493. lived on 60 acres on Hind's Creek, Knox County. His wife's name was Mary
  1494. "Polly" ____?_____. She was ten years or so his junior and may have been his
  1495. second wife. Their children (the early ones may not be Polly's) were:
  1496.  
  1497. 1. Western WARWICK, married Fanny WALKER in Knox County in 1812 - then
  1498. disappeared.
  1499.  
  1500. 2. Pheobe WARWICK, married Lewis EMBREE in 1826.
  1501.  
  1502. 3. Sarah "Sally" WARWICK, married Samuel AILOR in 1827.
  1503.  
  1504. 4. Haden WARWICK, married Catherine SHARP in 1833.
  1505.  
  1506. 5. Nancy WARWICK, married James SHARP in 1834.
  1507.  
  1508. 6. Orange WARWICK, married Dorcas Jane Johnson in 1837.
  1509.  
  1510. 7. There could be more children as yet undetermined.
  1511.  
  1512. Wyatt WARWICK died on Hinds Creek sometime around 1845. John WARWICK of
  1513. Warwick's Cross Roads is last mentioned in official Anderson Count! y Court< BR>Records in 1819. He is last mentioned in the minutes of the Hind's Creek
  1514. Baptist Church in 1821 and he probably died circa this time. There is no
  1515. mention of his wife in either records and he may have been a widower
  1516. before coming to East Tennessee. Though it is uncertain, it is believed that
  1517. Miss HAMILTON was the mother of all his children, and there certainly seems
  1518. to have been more children than are known to me at this time. A John WARWICK
  1519. who married Elizabeth MARKWELL in Kentucky in 1790 may have been a son that
  1520. did not move to Tennessee or perhaps a son of Jacob or Wyatt ? In the 1830
  1521. Grainger County census there is a widow Mary Warwick who had probably been
  1522. married to a son of John WARWICK whose name is now lost. The known children
  1523. are:
  1524.  
  1525. A. Delilah WARWICK, born 1777, married John JAMES.
  1526.  
  1527. B. William WARWICK, who always used his nickname "Willie", often spelled
  1528. "Wiley", was born in 1779 and died sometime between 1853 and 1860. His first
  1529. wife was Margaret "Peggy" LANE, who died sometime between 1830-1840. His
  1530. second wife was Katherine ____?____. Willie WARWICK and his brother-in-law
  1531. John JAMES were instrumental in establishing the Zion HillBaptist Church
  1532. (originally called Equality) in 1848. Willie WARWICK is believed to be
  1533. buried there.
  1534.  
  1535. The children of Willie and Peggy WARWICK were:
  1536. 1. J. (John) Elias WARWICK, born 1801, married Mary MONROE.
  1537.  
  1538. 2. William WARWICK, born 1802, married Tempy ___?___, one time squire of
  1539. Anderson County. He died of a nose bleed in early 1850.
  1540.  
  1541. 3. Nancy WARWICK, born 24 Nov 1811, died 2 Sep 1881, married James W. TURNER.
  1542.  
  1543. 4. Patsy WARWICK, married Archilus SMITH.
  1544.  
  1545. 5. Calloway WARWICK, born circa 1820.
  1546.  
  1547. 6. Willis WARWICK, born circa 1824.
  1548.  
  1549. 7. Volena WARWICK, born circa 1825, never married, died of consumption in
  1550. 1850. There are probably more children. It does not seem that there were any
  1551. children by the second marriage.
  1552.  
  1553. C. Nancy E! lizabeth Warwick, born 1783, died circa 1868, married on 1 Apr 1803
  1554. to George TURNER, Sr.
  1555.  
  1556. D. Willis WARWICK, born 1787, died 14 Nov 1866, married Elizabeth TURNER,
  1557. both are buried at Old Zion Hill Church. Their children were:
  1558.  
  1559. 1. Edwin WARWICK, born 12 Nov 1806, married Elizabeth
  1560.  
  1561. 2. Lewis WARWICK, born 13 May 1808, married Elmira "Myra" LEWIS.
  1562.  
  1563. 3. Berry WARWICK, born 16 Oct 1809, married Lurana ___?___.
  1564.  
  1565. 4. John WARWICK, born 1 May 1812, never married.
  1566.  
  1567. 5. Delilah WARWICK, born 24 Dec 1813, never married.
  1568.  
  1569. 6. Preston WARWICK, born 20 Sep 1816, married Charity C. HANSARD.
  1570.  
  1571. 7. Willis WARWICK, Jr., born 4 Dec 1818, married Elizabeth LEWIS.
  1572.  
  1573. 8. Ewell Dee WARWICK, born 20 Dec 1820, married Lucy Jane HANSARD.
  1574.  
  1575. 9. Emanuel WARWICK, born 3 April 1823, married Dicy NELSON or JACKSON.
  1576.  
  1577. 10. Sarah WARWICK, born 3 Sept 1828, was never married.
  1578.  
  1579. E. Marcy WARWICK, John's youngest daughter who was born 1788 and seems to
  1580. have taken care of her father in later years, never married. After her
  1581. father's death she remained in the old cabin and in her old age was cared for
  1582. by her nephew Calloway WARWICK.
  1583.  
  1584. This concludes the history of the early WARWICK's.

  1692.            <description><![CDATA[I would like to find out the "location" of Plantation Isabella Furnace.
  1693. My ancestor Frederick/Frederich Decius/Decious/Tissues was in Shenandoah Co., VA by 1788 and probably before.
  1694. The first record of Frederich in the area is 30 May 1788, when his marriage bond to Magdaline HEISTAND is recorded.  Frederick and his wife Magdelina are listed in Jacob HIESTAND's will as heirs & on 12 Jun 1788, the heirs sold the 167 acres of land they inherited to John Heistand.
  1695. Tax records and deeds show that his property was located 21 mi. SE of Woodstock, VA, in Dry Run, a small valley between the Shenandoah River and the Massanutten Range.
  1696. Other land recorded for him was a 300 ac.  survey made 20 Mar 1810, and paid by Treasury warrant #5552, on 30 Dec. 1815, recorded 1818 to Frederick Dicious and Richard Rainsbottom, Shenandoah Co. Deed Book pg.341/342. He also recd. deeds of 50 ac. conveyed to him by the commonwealth by Treasury Warrant # 5552 granted 1818 pg. 350, surveyed Dec. 1815 & 100ac. Treasury Warrant #5419 surveyed July 1815, granted 1818 pg. 351/352.
  1697.  
  1698. In the 1830 census records, Frederich is noted as living in Plantation Isabell Furnace.  I thought that Isabella Furnance was relating to a Iron Works??   Was there also a "settlement" called Isabella Furnace.

  1828.            <description><![CDATA[I have been studying the 1796 Reformed communion list at Solomon's Church because the John Welde on the list is my 4X grandfather who was born in Germany and in 1802 migrated to Greene Co. TN. I am trying to determine if there is any significance to adjacent names on the list. The list has three columns with 12 names in the first column, 11 names in the second column and 11 names in the third column. This raises the question as to how the names were recorded. Were they recorded left to right (horizontally) or top to bottom (vertically)? If they were recorded horizontally then the names next to Johannes Welde are Catharina Ackert and George Hamman (II). If they were recorded vertically then the names next to Johannes Welde are Philip Herbein and Annamaria Hamman. Since the first column has more names it would seem likely that the names were recorded horizontally.
  1829.  
  1830. Also the name Fronica Simon is of interest because she may be the mother of Johannes Welde. Next to her is Eva Zirckel, single and Chatarina Welde if the names were recorded horizontally. Chatarina Welde is a mystery. She is most likely married to a Welde and the only possibility that makes sense is that she is the wife of Peter Welt who appears in the Solomon Church contribution records. From census records Peter Welt was born between 1760 and 1770 and from land records lived just south of John Welde in Rockingham Co. VA.
  1831.  
  1832. Does anyone have any info on Peter Welt? Could he be a son of John Welde from an earlier marriage? Also is Eva Zirckel the daughter of Georg Adam Zirckel and Elisabeth Ridenouer? Why is she on a Reformed communion list and not a Lutheran communion list? I thought the Zirckel family was Lutheran.

Since the first column has more names it would seem likely that the names were recorded horizontally.
  1836.  
  1837. Also the name Fronica Simon is of interest because she may be the mother of Johannes Welde. Next to her is Eva Zirckel, single and Chatarina Welde if the names were recorded horizontally. Chatarina Welde is a mystery. She is most likely married to a Welde and the only possibility that makes sense is that she is the wife of Peter Welt who appears in the Solomon Church contribution records. From census records Peter Welt was born between 1760 and 1770 and from land records lived just south of John Welde in Rockingham Co. VA.
  1838.  
  1839. Does anyone have any info on Peter Welt? Could he be a son of John Welde from an earlier marriage? Also is Eva Zirckel the daughter of Georg Adam Zirckel and Elisabeth Ridenouer? Why is she on a Reformed communion list and not a Lutheran communion list? I thought the Zirckel family was Lutheran.

  1917.            <description><![CDATA[I am descended from Enoch Branson George (b. 1827, VA, moved to TX, married Rachel Million). I believe I recently found him in the 1850 Census in Warren, VA. He is 22 and in a household headed by Rachael George (b. 1798). Seven other Georges are living in the household -- Mary, Matilda, Martha E., John W., Edward J., Alpheus, and Algernon. All are listed as mulatto.
  1918.  
  1919. A Rachael George is also listed in the 1840 Census in Warren Co, VA (as head of a household of six free persons of color) and in the 1830 census in Shenandoah Co., VA (as head of a household of 3 persons of color). Is this Rachael the mother of my Enoch Branson George and his brother Andrew Jackson George (b. 1837)?
  1920.  
  1921. I'm intrigued by the fact that these Georges are listed as "mulatto" and "colored." I know the terms "mulatto" and "colored" were sometimes used to indicate Native American heritage, sometimes African American, and sometimes neither of the two. However, I haven't been able to piece together the background of this Rachael or her household members.
  1922.  
  1923. Finally, there are other Georges nearby Rachael in some of these censuses. Patsy George is a head of household in 1820 and 1830 (Shenandoah Co.) and 1840 and 1850 (Warren Co.). She and many of her household members are listed as "mulatto" and "colored" on many of these records. Moreover, in the 1820 census a household headed by Jesse George is just a few doors down from that of Patsy. How are all these Georges in Shenandoah and Warren, VA, related? What is the story behind the "mulatto" and "colored" descriptions?

  1925. Any insights would be great. I'm having a hard time digging up more than I already have.

All the pedigree leads I've found list Mary's parents as John Kauffman (1762-1810) and Mary Magdalene Sivey (1764-1830). I have little confidence that John Kauffman and Mary Magdalene Sivey are the parents of Mary Kauffman (1780-1860), my 5th great-grandmother.
  1946.  
  1947. 1) The Kauffman-Coffman Lineages book by Charles F. Kauffman, published in 1940, does not list Mary as a daughter of John and Mary Magdalene Sivey Kauffman. Nor does it include any of the names of descendants of Mary and Daniel Reamer.
  1948.  
  1949. 2) If the birth years are correct then John Kauffman (1762-1810) would have been about 17 years old when daughter Mary was born, and eight years before John’s marriage to Mary Magdalene Sivey.
  1950.  
  1951. 3) There is an 11 year gap between the birth of Mary Kauffman (1780-1860) and the next listed sibling, Frances Coffman (1791-1852).

  2089.            <description><![CDATA[Any information on the Reeser's out of Virginia (Edinburg, Woodstock) and Maryland would be greatly appreciated. I have hit a wall with Samuel H. Reeser (d1897).Samuel Hays Reeser of Sandy Hook Maryland, also buried in Virts Farm Cemetary. I am trying to find his parents and sibings.  I believe Elizabeth Evans (Reeser, d1880) was his mother.  I have also found two persons names John and Christian Reeser who resided in Shenandoah around late 1700 to early 1800's, it seems they may have emigrated to Ohio or someplace similar. I thought maybe one of these two could have fathered John William or Samuel Hayes Reeser but I am not having much luck. I have pretty much looked at every Reeser sibling \ name carrier that resided in Shenandoah County and checked their offspring, but no such luck on any of the above listed Reeser's parents or siblings. There is pretty much nothing on Samuel but a considerable amount on John William (Born 1824), even with that there is nothing that lists parents or siblings.   I do believe the Reeser and Evans families married into each other at a various points.]]></description>
