| 201 | George Dillard Jr. was born to William Dillard and his unknown wife circa 1761-66 in King and Queen County. He married Ann Shackelford, a daughter of William and Judith (Dabney) Shackelford of King and Queen County. She was born about 1779-82. They had about 10 children in the 1810 and 1820 censuses. George was listed in the King and Queen County personal property tax list from 1782 to 1823+. (Need data after 1823) In the land tax list, he received 50 acres from his father in 1798 and after his father’s death in 1803/04, he received the rest of his father’s 226 acres. In 1818, he added 110 acres rented from Motley. In 1827, his land tax entry changed to George Dillars’s estate, indicating his death. His estate continued to be listed until 1834, when it disappeared, perhaps because of the death of his wife or settlement of his estate. His father gave him 50 acres in 1798, which continued until after William’s death in 1803/04, when it increased 276 acres, the sam George Dillard Jr.: PP list 1782-1823+; land tax list 1798-1826, d. 1826/27. 1810 census, King & Queen Co., VA, George Dillard M 2 0-9, 1 10-15, 1 16-25, 1 45+; F 4 0-9, 1 26-44 (George could have been born after 1785 or before 1765 1820 census, King & Queen Co., VA, George Dillard, M 1 0-9, 1 10-15, 1 16-25, 1 45+; F 1 0-9, 1 10-15, 2 16-25, 1 45+.

| 203 | George Pettus was born to Stephen and Mary (Dabney) Pettus sbout 1730 in Hanover County. George married, but William W. Pettus, who compiled a two volume, 1447 page history of the Pettus Family, was unable to identify his wife. He had a son, John, who enlisted in the Goochland County militia October 2, 1775. After seeing considerable action with Washington’s forces in New York, John was listed as dead in a June, 1777, muster roll. In 1758, George’s father gave him 275 acres in Louisa County. In 1763, he was taxed on 650 acres. In that year, he was indebted to John A. Finnie for about £7 1/2 and mortgaged his land to Finnie as security for the debt. To raise money to pay off the debt, George sold part of the land for nearly £30. George failed to pay off the debt and Finnie obtained a judgment against him that resulted in a sheriff’s auction sale of the land for £122. In 1769, George Dabney III sued George Pettus for a debt and was awarded by the court £4 from George’s tobacco stores. In 1772, George was listed in a list of tithables for St. Martin’s Parish and charged with six tithables and a carriage, but without land. | Pettus, George (I1536)

| 204 | George Strother was born to Francis and Susannah Strother in 1732 in Culpeper County, Virginia. He married Mary Kennerly, who was born in 1746. They had three children: John, died iin 1815; George, died in 1816; and Margaret. George died in 1767 in Culpeper County, aged 35. His widow remarried to Maj. Patrick Lockhart of Augusta County and had one son. George’s children were educated by their uncle, John D. Strother, who had a tutor for his children. Mary died in 1834. | Strother, George (I1892)

| 209 | Hannah Temple Dabney was born to Richard and Diana (Gwathmey) Dabney 1781/82 in King William County, Virginia. She married William Dabney Jr., a first cousin and son of her uncle Isaac Dabney. With William, she had two children: Richard, born about 1798/99, and Diana, born about 1799-1803. After William’s death in 1803, she had her widow’s dower third share of William’s land set off and leased it to her brother, Richard Dabney Jr. Twelve years after William’s death, during which she may have been preoccupied with raising her two children, she remarried to Henry Jarrauld in 1814/15. About four years later, she died in 1818/19, aged about 38. | Dabney, Hannah Temple (I26)

|
| 211 | Henry Dabney was born December 13, 1795 to Richard and Diana (Gwathmey) Dabney on a 737-766 acre farm in King William County, Virginia. He was the last or next to last of 10 children. His father died after an extended illness when he was five years old. Henry grew up on the Dorrell farm in northeast King William County, about two miles west of Beulahville. His oldest brother, Richard, was probably the family head after his father’s death in 1800 until his own early death in late 1804 or early 1805. Two of Henry’s brothers, Temple and Joseph, died in 1802, aged about 22-24. Another brother, Benjamin, never appeared in the county tax list, which was customary at age 16, and a second brother, Isaac, was taxed only once, suggesting that they were disabled or in poor health and probably died in their early 20’s or earlier. Henry’s brother Owen had major financial problems when he and his cousin, William Dabney Jr., the eldest son of Isaac Dabney Sr., failed in an attempt to set up and operate a neighborhood store and accumulated heavy debts to Richnond wholesalers. Owen left the county after 1806, but was still living when he returned to witness a deed in 1810. The 1810 census for King William County has not survived, but in the 1820 census, Henry and his mother, Diana, were living alone on the Dorrell farm. Henry’s sister, Lucy, was living in Richmond with her husband, John M. Merritt, and four children. The rest of their siblings were deceased. Henry was probably the one male tithable listed with Richard Dabney’s estate in the personal property tax list from about 1811 through 1820, the last year that white tithables were taxed. In December, 1814, Henry’s county militia unit under Capt. W. L. Abrahams and Major Thomas Hill, 87th Regiment of the 14th Brigade of Virginia Militia, was called into service for the month of December in the War of 1812. Henry or his mother arranged for a substitute to take Henry’s place, probably because Henry was the only available male to help his mother with the management and labor of the farm. The substitute changed his mind after two days and Henry took his place. As a result, Henry received credit for only 15 days service as a corporal while the other soldiers were credited with 17 days. Also serving in the same unit were Henry’s cousins, Cornelius and Mordecai Dabney, sons of his uncle William Dabney. In December, 1850, Henry applied for a bounty land grant for his service in the War of 1812, which was rejected because the Treasury auditor’s office was unable to find the records for Capt. William Abraham’s company. Henry applied again in June, 1855, but was again unsuccessful. In January, 1859, after his move to Madison County, Iowa, Henry applied a third time and received warrant 87728 for 160 acres, which like most aged veterans, he probably sold for cash. For a year, starting in May, 1815, Henry had a merchant’s license in King William County, but he did not seek its renewal when it expired. On October 30, 1816, he married Catherine White Jackson in a double wedding with Catharine’s sister, Anne White Jackson, and Henry’s cousin, William Spotswood Dabney. The Jackson wives were daughters of John and Catherine (White) Jackson of Louisa County. John Jackson had a sizable farm and was a sheriff, a profitable and high local status appointment by the Governor that usually lasted for one year. Henry and Catherine had one child, Kitty Caroline Dabney, who was born in 1817 or 1818. She married George P. Shelton February 24, 1835. They had one child, Catherine Massie Shelton, born in 1836, married Archibald/Archer H. Anderson February 25, 1858, and died in 1906. On January 18, 1817, Henry’s mother, Diana, gave him 25 or 26 acres near Dublin Mill. They were lower than the surrounding hills and probably relatively fertile. Diana died in August, 1824. Henry and his sister, Lucy Merritt, were her only heirs and decided to sell the farm in December. The largest part of the farm was sold to Major Thomas Dabney, a distant cousin whose father was George Dabney III of King William County. Henry also sold the 25 acres given him by his mother. The details of the sales are unavailable because of a 1885 fire in the courthouse. In the King William County personal property tax list for 1824, the farm was taxed on 11 slaves and 0 horses. Henry stated in a June, 1869, newspaper interview that he freed his share of the slaves because he felt that he would have to give up either his religion or the slaves. One Dabney history has stated that Henry’s wife, Catherine, was so upset by this decision and perhaps the sale of the farm that she moved with their daughter, Kitty Caroline, to her mother’s house in Louisa County, where she remained until her mother’s death about 1860. Henry decided to divorce Catharine and published four notices in the Richmond Enquirer in November, 1824, of his intent to petition the General Assembly for a divorce, the only way to obtain a divorce in Virginia at the time. A check of an index of legislative petitions found no evidence for such an effort. Henry may have been discouraged by the obstacles and political influence required. Perhaps he later felt that the announcement of his intent was a morally justifiable public acknowledgement of the end of their marriage. A search of Louisa Court Order Books found no evidence of any legal action by Catherine. Henry and Catherine’s daughter, Kitty Caroline, married George P. Shelton February 24, 1835, in Goochland County and had one child, Catherine Massie Shelton, who married Archibald/Archer H. Anderson February 25, 1858, and died in 1906. In 1826, Catherine’s father signed his will in which her mother and brother Elisha were given Catharine’s share of his estate to hold until after Henry Dabney’s death. Within a year or so of the sale of the farm, Henry went to Richmond to look for employment, perhaps staying for a time with his sister, Lucy. He was unsuccessful in finding suitable employment there and decided to move to the western states opening up to new settlers. In 1826, he moved to Terre Haute, Vigo County, Indiana. His choice of Terre Haute may have been influenced by two cousins, George Clark Gwathmey and Samuel Gwathmey of Louisville, Kentucky. George purchased several lots in Terre Haute in April, 1825, and Samuel was given a power of attorney in Terre Haute in June, 1826. Whether Henry was employed in Terre Haute as a teacher or in some other position, is unclear, but he was active in the church to the extent of organizing the first Sunday school in town, according to a 1869 article in the Des Moines Register. Bradsby’s 1891 History of Vigo County, Indiana listed the surname Dabney in a collection of early settlers and described the Gwathmey brothers’ activities in Terre Haute. In 1828, Henry moved to Helt Township in western Vermillion County, Indiana, where he taught school for seven years in a settlement called Helts Prairie. On October 21, 1830, he married Mariah Stanfield, a daughter of John and Sarah (Dillon) Stanfield. John Stanfield was born in 1772 to Samuel Stanfield, who moved from Pennsylvania to Cane Creek (now Snow Camp) community in Orange (now Alamance) County, North Carolina, and married Lydia Vernon in 1771. Samuel and John moved from the Cane Creek Quaker Meeting to the New Hope Quaker Meeting in Greene County, Tennessee, 1799. John was a captain in the Greene County militia from 1800 tp 1810. He was listed in the tax rolls with 211 acres. In 1829/30, he moved from Tennessee to Elwood Township in Vermilion County, Illinois, probably because his son, Samuel, had moved there earlier. He purchased 80 acres in 1828 and was identified as a Methodist preacher in a county gazetteer. He died after the 1850 census, in which his age was 78. Henry and Mariah had 12 children: Eliza Ann, born December 20, 1831, married Andrew Carmichael December 15, 1851; Isaac, born December 20, 1833, married first Martha A. Knight June 12, 1856, and second, Elizabeth A. Myers September 20, 1861; William Henry Harrison, born December 31, 1835, married Mary Belle Lee March 15, 1866; Emily C., born May 2, 1838, married Ivy M. Kendall April 6, 1854; John Wesley, born October 18, 1840, married Ellen/Ella M. Howell September 21, 1872; Mariah Ellen, born January 9, 1843, married Samuel L. Holliday December 31, 1861; Albert Rush, born February 7, 1845, married Pauline Holliday June 19, 1877; Thomas Lane, November 15, 1847, married Elizabeth Ann Gustine February 14, 1875; Owen Perry, born November 7, 1850, married first Nancy Ellen Bard September 10, 1871, and second Inez Harding; Jacob (later Franklin) Kendall, born April 22, 1853, married first Olive Elizabeth Brown June 1, 1876, and second Frances E. (___); Richard Temple, born September 11, 1855, married Martha Amanda Renshaw October 12, 1887; and Joseph Benjamin, born January 21, 1858, married Louise Ellen Finch . In November, 1830, Henry purchased 80 acres in nearby Warren County, Indiana, from the U. S. land office in Crawfordsvillle, and sold it to John Jackson in the same year, suggesting that he may have been acting as Jackson’s agent. In that year, he also purchased a lot in Eugene and another in Newport, both in Vermillion County, Indiana. In 1835, he left his teaching position in Helts Pairie and moved to Georgetown in neighboring Vermilion County, Illinois (note differentiated spelling with a single “l”), where he taught for five years. In September, 1835, he also purchased 64.61 acres in Love Township in the southeast corner of Vermilion County. In August, 1836, he bought 4 lots in Georgetown for $100 and sold them from 1838 to 1850 at varying prices for a total of $400. In 1840, he left Georgetown and commenced farming in the Yankee Point area about 4.5 miles south southeast of Georgetown. In the 1850 agricultural census, when Henry was 54 and his two eldest sons were 17 and 15, he was farming 95 acres, 80 of them improved for planting or pasture. He had 6 horses, 6 milk cows, 25 sheep, and 27 pigs. During the preceding year, he produced 1800 bushels of corn, 250 bushels of oats, 140 lb. of wool, 10 bushels of potatoes, 200 lb. of butter, and 10 tons of hay. When compared with Samuel Stanfield, a brother-in-law, and Jacob Kendall, a close friend, their production varied in details, but Henry’s productivity appeared to be similar or possibly a little greater. In 1855, probably in the spring and early summer, Henry and his family moved from Vermilion County, Illinois to Iowa. They settled temporarily in Dallas County, Iowa, where they had relatives, but on October 2, 1855, Henry bought 160 acres in Madison County, which adjoins Dallas County on the south. In 1856, they moved to their farm in Madison County, where they lived until after Henry’s death in 1870. The farm was located in Jackson township, about 1 1/2 miles east of the former crossroads village of Pitzer, which can be found on internet maps. In the 1860 Agricultural Census, Henry reported that 40 acres of his farm were improved and 120 acres unimproved, which was a very common ratio among the 35 neighbors listed on his census page. His crops included 130 bushels of wheat, 1000 bushels of indian corn, and 400 lb. of butter, all of which were above the average for his neighbors. He valued his farm at $800, which was in the mid-range among his neighbors. He evidently had a special interest in horses and may have been a breeder because he had 7 horses compared with a median of 2 for his neighbors. His eldest brother, Richard Dabney Jr., owned several pedigreed horses which were auctioned in a debt sale in 1804, indicating that horses were a special enthusiasm in Henry’s family. According to family tradition, Henry was an active participant in the Iowa Underground Railway system for conveying slaves escaping from slave owners in Kansas eastward toward a route to Canada. The route began at Tabor near the southwestern corner of Iowa and passed through Earlham in Madison County and Des Moines to Muscatine on tthe eastern border of Iowa. Henry died March 25, 1870. Henry’s children sold their shares of the farm between October, 1874 and December, 1876. Mariah sold her dower share for a $200/month annuity in June, 1875. She moved to Winterset, the county seat of Madison County, where she was living in the 1880 census with her youngest son, Joseph B. Dabney, a lawyer. Another son, Albert R. Dabney, a lawyer, with his wife, Pauline, and daughter, Clara, was also living there. In October, 1878, she applied for a veteran’s widow’s pension, which was approved in the amount of $8/month. After a stroke in 1886, she was partially paralyzed on her right side and lost her speech capacity. In 1888, she moved with her sons Richard and Joseph Dabney, to Los Angeles, California. In March, 1889, she went to Seattle, where her son, Thomas Lane Dabney, was living. She died April 10, 1889. | Dabney, Henry (I1)
|
| 212 | Henry Jarrauld first appeared in the King William County personal property tax records in 1811, probably the year after his arrival. He continued to be listed through 1821, probably the year of his death or departure. | Jarrauld, Henry (I50)
|
| 213 | Henry Wood was born to Valentine and Lucy (Henry) Wood in 1765 in Goochland County, Virginia. His first wife has not been identified, His second wife was Jane Pleasant and his third wife was Mary Ann Wood. He had three sons who were born between 1785 and 1794: Valentine, married Jane Thomas August 27, 1818 in Kanawha County, West Virginia; Henry M.; and David Julius, married Rebecca Thomas. In January, 1795, Henry’s mother, Lucy, leased her farm to him for two years in a formal lease recorded in the Goochland deed records. Henry moved to Kanawha County, West Virginia, before 1806, when he was listed in the Kanawha Tax List for 1806 and renewed an earlier land entry with Joseph Brown. In 1808, he renewed an entry on the Cole River. In 1813, he entered a claim for 300 acres and in March, 1813, he and his son, Henry M., entered a claim for 800 acres, after which he died aged 49 in the same year. In his will, he mentioned that he owned a mill and had two others under construction in addition to his land. Two of Henry’s brothers, William and Valentine, moved from Goochland County to Kanawha County, where they were both listed in the 1820 census and William in 1830, perhaps to assist their deceased brother Henry’s widow in managing her land and sons. Henry’s sons, Henry, Valentine, and David, continued living in Kanawha County until 1825, when they made their last sale deed. In the 1830 and 1840 censuses, Valentine and David J. were living in Wayne County, Indiana and Henry was in Lincoln County, Kentucky, . | Wood, Henry (I2387)
|
| 214 | Humphrey Dabney was born to Isaac Dabney about 1779-1780 in King William County, Virginia. Since Ann (Hill) Dabney’s death could have occurred between Frances’s birth in November, 1778, and Isaac’s remarriage to Elizabeth Smelt in 1780, his mother could have been either Ann or Elizabeth. Humphrey married Catherine Collins, the widow of John Collins of Richmond before May 7, 1796, when they were sued in Richmond Court, but acquitted due to nonappearance of the plaintiff. Catherine and John Collins had four children: Ann, Jane, John, and Adam. With Humphrey, she had five more children: Catherine, born 1796, married Judge John Prentiss of Sussex County; Sarah E., born 1798, married John Carter Page, a son of governor John Page; Mary Ann, born 1799/1800, unmarried; Albert Gallatin, born 1803/04, married Susan Hill Segar, a daughter of Dr. John and Frances (Dabney) Dabney Segar; and Susan Hill, born 1805/06, married John A. Baber. Humphrey purchased 82 acres in Henrico County 6 Dec 1797, but farming evidently didn’t suit him because he and Catherine sold the property October 7, 1799. In 1800, he was living in Richmond where he was taxed on two slaves and two town lots. In 1802 and 1803, Humphrey was involved in three suits in the Richmond Hustings Court concerning debts, indicating that he was an active businessman. From 1803 (and perhaps earlier) to 1807, he kept an ordinary (saloon) opposite the market. In 1804, he advertised receipt of a sizable shipment of rum, loaf sugar, cognac brandy, apple brandy, ginger, cotton cards, pine lumber, cedar posts, and New York prime pork, which he offered on very moderate terms. In 1807, Humphrey was a captain in the 4th Regiment of Virginia. From 1805-1808, he was the plaintiff in several suits concerning different kinds of debts owed to him. His last appearance in court was in January, 1808. In May, 1808, Ralston and Hovey, Humphrey’s trustees, published an advertisement notifying his creditors that a second dividend would be paid on June 6, indicating that Humphrey was deceased and that some of his assets were being liquidated to pay his debts. In July, 1809, his wife, Catherine, signed a deed of trust without his signature, confirming his death. After Humphrey’s death, from 1809 to 1816, Catherine was involved in 20 land sales and purchases and deeds of trust concerning properties left by her first husband, John Collins, to her and their 4 children. When the 1810 census was taken, Catherine was living in Richmond City with six children. In 1820, she was living outside Richmond in rural Henrico County with six younger persons, and in 1830, when she was 60-70, she was living there with 3 younger persons. In 1830, Catherine and Humphrey’s children sued Sheriff Wien, administrator of Humphreys estate for the undistributed assets remaining in the estate. As a result, the court ordered the sheriff to pay $93.13 to Catherine and $37.25 each to Albert G. Dabney, John B. and Catherine Prentiss, John C. and Sarah E. Page, Susan H. Dabney, and Mary Ann Dabney. Catherine died February 5, 1844, at the home of her son-in-law, John A. Baber. | Dabney, Humphrey (I60)

| 216 | Isaac Coles was born to Walter and Mary Ann (Winston) Coles March 2, 1747, in Richmond, Virginia. He attended William and Mary College about 1768, He married Elizabeth Lightfoot April 1, 1771. She was a daughter of William and Mildred (Howell) Lightfoot of Charles City County. They had three children: John, born October 30, 1772, died May 17, 1796; Isaac, born December 16, 1777, died Septmber 28, 1820; Lightfoot, born June 12, 1780, died December 4, 1781. Isaac’s wife, Elizabeth, died July 27, 1781, and Isaac remarried January 2, 1790, to Catherine Thompson, a daughter of James and Catherine (Walton) Thompson of New York City. Her sister, Ann Thompson, married Elbridge Gerry, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, Governor of Massachustts, and Vice-President of the U. S. under James Madison. Catherine was born April 16, 1768, and died July 18, 1848. They had nine children: Walter, born December 8, 1790, died November 9, 1857; Catherine, born October 24, 1792, died February 25, 1794; Catherine Thompson, born February 10, 1795, died July 1, 1850; James Thompson, born January 9, 1797, died May 28, 1838; John, born April 26, 1799, died August 28, 1847; Robert Thompson, born March 15, 1801, died January 2, 1850; Jacob Thompson, born August 1, 1803, died August 18, 1807; Mary, born October 18, 1805, died September 5, 1835; Jacob Thompson, born January 23, 1808, died November 23, 1884 Isaac Coles had large estates in Halifax County and later in neighboring Pittsylvania County. In some of the county tax lists, he was given the title of “esquire,” indicating that he probably had legal training, although he was probably too busy with the management of his farms and political activities to practice very actively. He was elected from Halifax County to the House of Delegates 1780-81, 1783, and 1783-January, 1788. He was also a delegate to the Virginia Constitutional Convention in 1788, where he voted in the minority against ratification of the national Constitution. He was also a representative to the first, third, and fourth U. S. Congresses between 1789 and 1797. In Washington, he was a member of the Anti-Administration Party, which opposed the policies of Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton. In Halifax County. he served as a Justice of the Peace and a vestry member and church warden in Antrim Parish. He was listed in the Halifax County personal property tax rolls from 1782 through 1799 with about 11 to 66 slaves and 4 to 24 horses. He moved his residence from Halifax County to Pittsylvania County about 1798. He was listed in the Pittsylvania personal property tax rolls from 1798 through 1812 with about 6-49 slaves and 3-24 horses He died June 3, 1813, aged 66, in Pittsylvania County. Catherine died there July 18, 1848 aged 80. | Coles, Isaac (I1847)

| 217 | Isaac Dabney Jr. was born to Isaac Dabney Sr. and Susannah (Hill) Dabney in 1781/82 in King William County, Virginia. His father died when he was 2 or 3 years old. He married Susannah Hill, a daughter of John Hill, in about 1797/98. When the unsuccessful store of his brother, William Dabney Jr., and cousin, Owen Dabney, closed in 1802, he continued the business through 1803, probably disposing of inventory. Isaac and Susannah had two children who survived to adulthood, Alexander Hamilton, born about 1805/06 and Julia. Susannah inherited 139 2/3 acres in 1797/98 from her father, John Hill. In 1799/1800, she inherited an additional 230 1/3 acres. In February, 1805, Isaac and Susannah sold the first tract to William Wyatt. Isaac’s entry in the land tax lists changed from Isaac Dabney in 1807 to Isaac Dabney estate in 1809 (no list was made in 1808), indicating that he died between the recording of the two lists, aged about 26-28. The assessment of his land estate continued to 1826, when his son Alexander reached 21. The assessment of his estate in the personal property tax list, probably for the support of Susannah, terminated in 1814, because she transferred her dower share of the estate to her brother, Baylor Hill, in trust for her children and for the protection of John Hill, who was her legal security and guardian of her son, Alexander H. Dabney. The date of her death has not been found, but may have occurred in 1814 or 1815. | Dabney, Isaac Jr. (I61)

| 218 | Isaac Dabney Sr. was born to William and Philadelphia Dabney between 1745 and 1749 in King William County, Virginia. William died in 1767, when Isaac was about 20. In November of that year, his father’s will was proved in King William County court. As the eldest son, Isaac inherited his father’s farm called Springfield in King William County, which contained 383 acres and had one of the highest per acre valuations in the area. As a representative of his father’s estate on behalf of the executors, he also held title to several tracts in Louisa County that his father bequeathed to three other sons in his will. In the 1769 and 1770 land and personal property tax lists for St. Martin’s parish in Louisa County, Isaac was listed with 1,153 acres and 10 or 11 tithables (taxable white and slave residents of working age). In 1771, Isaac transferred 368 acres on the north side of the South Anna River to his oldest brother, Richard. Richard paid £184 to Isaac in exchange, probably a contribution toward a comparable inheritance for his youngest brother, Gwathmey, who was not yet born when William’s will was written. In 1775, Isaac’s brother Owen received 368 acres adjoining Richard’s tract and paid £1000 in exchange. In 1777, Isaac’s brother Cornelius received two tracts totaling 352 acres and paid £85 in exchange. The large differences in the amounts paid for the tracts may be due to variability in the purchasing power of money at the time and partly to differences in the perceived value of the tracts. The four tracts, which were all in Louisa County, do not add up to the 1153 acres charged to Isaac in earlier tax lists, perhaps due to the imprecise and variable survey methods of the time. The adjoining tracts given Richard and Owen are of special importance because the legal description of the outer boundary of the two tracts corresponds precisely with the outer boundary of two tracts patented by Cornelius Dabney of King William County, the grandfather of the two, and thus confirms the family relationship. Isaac was married first to Ann Hill, a daughter of Humphrey Hill, about 1775-76 in King William County. They had two children: William, born abt 1776/77; and Frances, born November 26, 1778. Ann died and Isaac remarried about 1780 to Elizabeth Smelt, a daughter of Rev. John Smelt of Essex County. Isaac and Elizabeth had two children: Isaac Jr., born abt 1781/82 and Robert, born between 1782 and 1784, when Isaac Sr. died. A fifth child, Humphrey, was born between Frances and Isaac Jr., 1779-1781, but it is unclear whether his mother was Ann or Elizabeth. Isaac was first appointed a Justice of the Peace in 1773. He was a captain in the county militia in December, 1776, when he received £78 for the payroll of his company. By 1780, he was promoted to major when his name was mentioned in a record fragment. In 1782, he wrote to the Virginia state militia office promising more accurate reports of militia strength in future and attributing past problems to resignations of field officers. In the 1782 land tax list for King William County, he was charged with 383 acres. In later lists that rated the per acre income of land, his farm was in the top range of per acre valuations, about twice that of his brother Richard, most of whose property was forested. On October 18, 1783, he witnessed a deed. In 1784, Isaac Dabney Sr died, aged about 37. On June 26, 1784, Richard Dabney, Isaac’s executor, advertised the sale of some of Isaac’s personal property and in July, 1785, he advertised for Isaac’s creditors to settle their accounts. Isaac’s widow, Elizabeth (Smelt) Dabney, remarried to William Pollard, Clerk of Hanover County, 1781-1824. They had two children: Mary Anderson Pollard and Elizabeth Smelt Pollard. Elizabeth died and William remarried to Elizabeth (Dabney) Shackelford, widow of Lyne Shackelford and daughter of George and Elizabeth Price Dabney of Hanover County. | Dabney, Isaac Sr. (I43)
|
| 219 | Isaac Dabney was born to Cornelius and Lucy (Winston) Dabney about 1726-38 in King William County, Virginia. His existence is mainly based on a Louisa County Court record. Isaac’s parents, Lucy (Winston) Dabney Coles and her second husband, Williams Coles, of King William County were summoned to Louisa County Court to answer a petition by John Hill for an acre of land on property belonging to Isaac Dabney, a minor under 21, on the Horseshoe Neck on the south branch of the South Anna River. The Coles opposed the petition and after several continuances, it was dropped. Since no subsequent record of Isaac has been found, he probably died before reaching adulthood, leaving his brother, William, sole heir to the estate of his father, Cornelius Dabney of King William County. | Dabney, Isaac (I90)
|
| 220 | Isaac Dabney was born to Richard and Diana (Gwathmey) Dabney about 1789/90 in King William County, Virginia. He first appeared in the county personal property tax list in 1806, when he reached the age of 16. He was not listed in 1807 or subsequently, indicating that he may have died, been too ill to be taxed, or moved away, He has not been found in the 1810 and 1820 censuses, and it is likely that he died in 1807-1809. | Dabney, Isaac (I24)
|
| 221 | Isaac Payne was probably born to John and Mary (Coles) Payne in Hanover County, Virginia, or Guilford County, North Carolina. He was unmarried and died before January 5, 1795. when he offended a man in Virginia who killed him, perhaps in a duel. | Payne, Isaac (I595)
|
| 222 | Isaac Winston Dabney was born to Cornelius and Elizabeth Smith (Winston) Dabney July 11, 1787, in Louisa County, Virginia. He married Hannah Temple MIller July 21, 1808. They had five children: Eliza, born about 1809, married Henry Hughes; Catherine, born 1810/11, married Albert G. Meriwether; Dorothy Ann, born 1813/14, married Thomas Meriwether, born 1807/08; Hannah Gwathmey, born September 3, 1816, died July 2, 1895, married first cousin Edwin Winston Dabney, born September 28, 1821, died September 27, 1896; Martha Winston, born 1818, married Henry Hughes. Hannah died, and Isaac remarried to Sarah Chew June 15,1819. They had several children who died before adulthood. Sarah died, and Isaac married third to Charlotte W. Wasson, a widow, August 27, 1829. They had three children: Urith, born in January, 1831, in Jefferson County, Kentucky, died after the 1900 census, married Basil H. Crapster November 26, 1850, in Shelby County, Kentucky; Isaac Winston, born 1832, died February 25, 1878, married Nannie N. (___) about 1855; Albert H., born 1833, married Maggie (Margaret) Magher, born 1838, 11 May 1865 at Louisville, Jefferson County, Kentucky, died between 1870 and 1880 censuses. Isaac probably moved to Jefferson County about 1809 or 1810. During the War of 1812, he was appointed a captain in the 33rd Regiment of the Kentucky Militia September 9, 1814. He was first listed in the county tax rolls in 1811 without land, but with five slaves and one horse. His last appearance in the tax lists was in 1830, when he was charged with 15 slaves, no horses, and a tavern license. He was never charged with land in the county tax lists, so was probably not a farmer. His sons, Isaac Winston and Albert H. were a carpenter and a blacksmith, which suggests that their father may have had a skilled trade. In the 1820 census, he was living in Middletown, Jefferson County, Kentucky, with one male 0-9, four females 0-9, a female 10-15, and Sarah, aged 26-44. In the 1830 census for Jefferson County, he was 40-49 and Charlotte was 20-29 and they were living with 5 children and 9 adults, probably roomers in his tavern. Living next door was Dr. Richard Chew, 50-60, probably a relative of Sarah Chew Dabney. Isaac died in 1833, when administrators were appointed for his estate. | Dabney, Isaac Winston (I165)
|
| 223 | Isaac Winston III was born to Isaac and Mary Ann (Fontaine) Winston about 1745 in Henrico County, Virginia. He married Elizabeth Smith about 1765. She was born November 28, 1750, to Obadiah and Mary (Burk) Smith of Chesterfield County. Isaac and Elizabeth had one child, Elizabeth Smith, born about 1766. She married Cornelius Dabney of Louisa County. son of William Dabney of King William County, December 24, 1766. Elizabeth (Smith) Winston died about 1767 and Isaac remarried to Lucy Coles June 2, 1770. She was a daughter of Williams and Lucy (Winston) Dabney Coles of Hanover County. Isaac and Lucy were first cousins, both grandchildren of Isaac Winston Sr. and Sarah (Dabney) Winston. They had six children: Isaac, born about 1772; Walter Coles, born June 4, 1781; Martha Henry, born July 7, 1784; William Alexander, born August 28, 1792; Dorothea Coles; and Mary Ann. Isaac was living in Henrico County when he received four slaves from his brother, Peter, in 1770. He also received 973 acres in Louisa County from Peter. About the time of his remarriage in 1770, he moved to Hanover or Louisa County. He was listed in the land and personal property tax rolls of Hanover from 1783 through 1804 and in the Louisa rolls from 1782 to 1800 (the latest surviving list). His land in Hanover totaled 1005-1032 acres and in Louisa 518-564 acres, except for a few years when he leased additional land. In 1799, he bought the Auburn farm in Culpeper County and moved there, where he was listed in the personal property tax rolls from 1800 through 1821, when he probably died. | Winston, Isaac III (I724)
|
| 224 | Isaac Winston Jr. was born to Isaac Winston Sr. and Sarah (Dabney) Winston about 1710-1720 in Hanover County, Virginia. He married Mary Ann Fontaine about 1740. She was a daughter of the Rev. Peter and Elizabeth (Fourneau) Fontaine. They had three sons, Peter, Isaac, and William, and two daughters, Lucy and Mary Ann. The sons were mentioned in Isaac’s will, but not the two daughters, suggesting that they may have died before the will was written in 1766. He lived on a farm called “Half Sink” in Henrico County from about 1740 until his death. In 1756, he was commissioned a major in the county militia. Letters quoted in Alfred Sumner Winston’s The Winstons of Hanover County, Virginia, and Related Families, 1666-1992 indicate that he was both prosperous and generous to relatives. He was elected to the vestry of Henrico Parish in 1751, but declined to serve, perhaps because he was a religious dissenter from the established church. He was appointed an executor of the will of his father, Isaac Winston Sr., who died in 1760. In the course of the estate’s affairs, he hired the services of his nephew, Patrick Henry, then a young man. He died in 1766 and his will was signed and proved in that year. | Winston, Isaac Jr. (I716)

Isaac Winston and his brother Joel were privates in the Regiment of Cavalry & Mounted Gunmen, Tennessee Volunteers, comanded by Col. John Coffee and Col. John Allcorn. His older brothers John J. & Anthony Winston were captain & lieut. in same unit . After the Battle of New Orleans, Isaac returned north to Wilson County, Tennessee, where he grew up and was listed in the 1820 and 1830 censuses. Before 1840, he moved to Franklin County, Alabama, where he had relatives and was listed in the 1840 - 1860 censuses. In 1833, he bought Belle Mont, a Jeffersonian style mansion built before 1832 for Dr. Alexander Mitchell. The house still exists under the protection of the Alabama Historical Commission. In 1860, Isaac was also listed with another farm in Sumter County, Alabama, on which an overseeer was settled. Isaac’s response to the Union Army occupation during the Civil War is described at length in The Winstons of Hanover County, Virginia by Alfred Sumner Winston (Baltimore, MD: Gateway Press, 1992) Isaac Winston died August 13, 1863, in a part of Franklin County, Alabama, that later became Colbert County. Catherine Baker Jones Winston died July 25, 1884, in Colbert County.. | Winston, Isaac (I1965)

| 227 | Isaac “H” Coles was born to Walter and Mildred (Lightfoot) Coles January 15, 1777, in Halifax County, Virginia, where he grew up on the Mildendo farm. He added a middle initial “H”to the middle of his name to distinguish him from other Isaac Coles in other counties. He was educated at Hampden-Sydney College and the College of William and Mary. He never married. He inherited his father’s lands and purchased Berry Hill farm from his uncle, Isaac Coles, where he lived for the rest of his life. He represented Amherst County in the Virginia Senate from 1803 to 1811. He died February 9, 1814, aged 37. He left his estate, which was bonded for $400,000, to several of the sons of his sister, Mildred H. Coles Carrington. Their inheritance was so large that their father, Paul Carrington, Jr., left them nothing in his will and bequeathed his entire estate to his wife and youngest child, Isaac Coles Carrington. | Coles, Isaac “H” (I2411)
|
| 228 | It has not been possible to find evidence confirming her existence and she has sometimes been confused with Louisa Frances Garland, a daughter of David S. Garland and Jane Henry Meredith, who married Professor Landon Garland. Not in Samuel’s 1808 will, so probably already deceased. | Meredith, Louisa Frances Garland (I2281)
|
| 229 | It is likely that Benjamin Dabney was born to Cornelius and Susanna Dabney ca 1682, but there is no direct evidence that he was their child. They are his most likely parents because there are no other documented Dabneys in Virginia early enough to have been his parents. Benjamin is known from only two records. both of which are official and therefore reliable:1) he was listed in the 1704 Quit Rent Roll for King William County with 200 acres, 2) he was mentioned in a 1725 patent as an adjoiner of a tract in King William County. Since he was not mentioned in his likely mother Susannah’s will in 1722, he probably died before then, but could have been mentioned in the patent if his estate continued to exist for the support of his wife and children, who are unknown. | Dabney, Benjamin (I545)

| 230 | James Bullock and Rebecca Wingfield had 5 children. | Rebecca Wingfield (I2743)
|
| 231 | James Dabney was born to Cornelius and Edith Dabney about 1660-1670. It is likely that he was their eldest male child, since he was mentioned first in the commission report recommending issuance of patents to Cornelius’ eldest four children and his patent was recorded first in the patent books. He married Ann Sherwood between November, 1685, when Ann was identified as single in a court order and April, 1690, when James and Ann sold two tracts totalling 125 acres in Old Rappahannock County that Ann had inherited from her father, Philip Sherwood. James and Ann had at least two children: Cornelius, born about 1690-98, and Welthan, baptized January 8, 1699, but has not been found in later records and probably died early. A third possible child is Elizabeth Dabney (ca 1705-1794), who married Thomas Waller (1705-1765) about 1725. The only evidence, which is merely suggestive, is her early birth and the marriages of James’ other two brothers’ daughters named Elizabeth to other men. In April, 1701, James received a patent for 204 acres in Pamunkey Neck, part of King and Queen County (later King William County). On the same date, his brother George and sisters Sarah and Dorothy received similar patents. All four patents adjoined each other and are shown in (Figure _____). They received the patents because their father was one of eight men who had early land leases from the Pamunkey Indians. In 1679, a government commission reviewed the leases and recognized the lessees’ rights to patents for the land when issued in future. In 1699, a committee of the Assembly recommended that patents be issued to 45 persons having claims derived from the original eight claimants together with 75 others whose claims derived from events during the 20 years after the original recommendation. The Virginia House of Burgesses approved the patents in 1701 and the patents were issued in the next few years. In 1702, James received a second grant of 1000 acres on Mehixen Creek that later passed out of his hands. According to the 1704 Quit Rent Rolls, he also acquired 320 acres in New Kent County, probably by purchase from a prior owner. The grants to James and Sarah provide important documentary evidence for a direct line of descent from Cornelius the immigrant through his son James, to his son Cornelius, to his son William, to his son Isaac, to his son William Jr., who died in 1803. The map for a court-ordered division of Wiliam Jr.’s land to set off his widow’s dower portion shows that his tract was the same as the combined patents of James and Sarah Dabney (Figure ______). In January and June, 1703, James Dabney served as a witness on two deeds in King William County. In September, 1704, he was appointed one of three appraisers for an estate. In the same year, he was assessed quit rents, a form of land tax, on 200 acres in King William County and 320 acres in neighboring New Kent County. He and his brother-in-law, William Anderson, were appointed Justices of the Peace for King William County in 1710, a position that combined the duties of a county judge with those of a county commissioner. Nothing has been found to indicate when he or Ann died, because very few of the fire-damaged records of King William County have survived between 1706 and 1721. | Dabney, James (I87)
|
| 232 | James Dabney was born to George Dabney II and Ann (Anderson) Dabney January 6, 1735, in King William County, Virginia. W. P. Anderson’s Anderson Family Records gives James a middle initial M., but this researcher has not seen it in other sources. He married Judith Anderson, a daughter of Pouncey Anderson of Louisa County, February 26, 1756. They had nine children: Ann, born 1757, died 1758; George, born 1759, died 1759; Elizabeth, born October 1, 1760/61; Cicely, born August 9, 1765; Ann Anderson, born Nov 24/26, 1768; William, born September 17, 1771, died October 9, 1813; Thomas, a twin of William died early; Pouncey, born 1774, died 1780; Mary, born January 31, 1777; Charity, born March 5, 1779. James probably moved from his home in King William County to Louisa County about the time of his marriage in 1756, when he was 21. He lived on a farm named Walnut Grove on Cub/Cubb Creek, which probably included the 600 acres inherited by his father, George Dabney II, from his father, George Dabney I. In the surviving tithable records of Louisa County, he was charged with 844-1246 acres and 11-15 slaves from 1767 (the earliest surviving record) to 1781. From 1782 to 1800 (the latest surviving tax records), he was charged with 744-994 acres, 9-61 slaves, and 8-13 horses. When his father, George Dabney II, died in about 1783, he inherited the brick house named Seven Springs where his father lived together with 419.5 acres. He transferrred responsibility for the taxes on the property to his son William before 1793 and deeded the property to him in 1795. In addition, from 1782 to 1789, he owned 260 acres in neigboring Hanover County, but never lived there and sold the land to William Ragland in 1789/90. In 1802, William and James sold Seven Springs and the 419.5 acres associated with it to Yancey Lipscomb for £1,200. James was appointed a Justice of the Peace by the Governor May 11, 1771, and was still serving in 1790. From 1775, he was active in Louisa County activities supporting independence from Britain and the Revolutionary War. In May and December, 1775, he was a member of the Louisa County Committees established to identify loyalists and publish their names. In May, the Committee expressed thanks to Capt. Patrick Henry and the rest of the Hanover volunteer company that procured satisfaction for the gun powder taken from colony’s magazine by the Governor’s order. In December, the Committee commended the clergy members for their efforts in converting people to the side opposing the King’s government and offered to help liberty supporters in the lower counties in difficulty because of their political views. In March, 1776, the Virginia State Council approved warrants for payment of David Clark for provisions furnished to Capt. Dabney’s minute men. In May, 1776, the Virginia Committee of Safety issued a commission for Capt. James Dabney and his company of minute men of Louisa County. In June, 1776, the State Council approved warrants for payment of £23 for the payroll of James’ minute company while training in April and May. In July, 1776, the State Council approved £142 to Capt. James Dabney for pay, rations, and forage for his minute company until July 15. In August, a £140 payment was authorized and in December, two payments were authorized for £252 and £170 for Capt. James Dabney’s recently disbanded company. Thus James and his men spent about six months on active duty after their probably part-time training in March, April, and May. James was elected to the House of Delegates in 1777 and served until 1779. He was elected again to the House of Delegates in 1787 and served until 1788/89. He was appointed county sheriff by the governor from 1790-92. During his term of sheriff, he did not execute a court judgment against William Phillips, the preceding sheriff, within the time prescribed by law, and was later fined by the court. In December, 1794, he petitioned Governor Robert Brooke for remission of the fine, but the Governor’s decision has not been found. Unlike most of his contemporaries, James showed unusual foresight in making his will on November 28, 1799, about five years before his death. He died between August, 1803, when he and Judith gave 230 acres of land on Cub Camp Creek to his son-in-law Edward Hallam, and October, 1805, when his will was proved in Louisa court and probably closer to the latter date. In the will, he listed gifts of slaves and in one case also land given earlier to five of his six children and added an additional gift to Charity, the youngest and unmarried child. He also gave his wife, Judith, eight named slaves, household furnishings, cattle, hogs, and horses. He lent her part of his land and his grist mill, with the land going to Charity and the mill to William after Judith’s death. | Dabney, James (I301)

| 233 | James Dabney was born to Gwathmey and Elizabeth (Maddocks) Dabney about 1788/89. He was probably the James Dabney listed in the Spotsylvania personal property tax lists fom 1809 through 1813. When the 1820 census was taken, a James Dabney was living in neighboring Louisa County with two males 16-25, one male 26-44, one female 16-25, and one female 26-44. Further searches in Louisa tax books is impossible because of their loss after 1800. A James Dabney was listed adjacent to his mother, Elizabeth Dabney, in the 1823 personal property rolls for King William County where he was charged with one slave and one horse. No likely James Dabneys have been found in the 1830 or 1840 censuses. In the 1850 census for Oldham County, Kentucky, a James Dabney aged 61, born in 1788 or 1789 in Virginia, with no occupation, was living with Mary Dabney, 23, and Robert Dabney, 18, farmer, who were born in Kentucky and living in the household of Ralph B. Tarlton, 41, farmer, and William Tarlton, 23, farmer, both born in Kentucky. No additional information has been found concerning this household. | Dabney, James (I115)
|
| 234 | James Fontaine was born to Peter and Elizabeth Louise (Winston) Fontaine in 1762 at Rock Castle in Hanover County, Virginia. In 1784, he purchased a small tract of land in Augusta County, but the frontier indians rose up and threatened new settlers. When troops were raised to suppress the uprising, James was appointed a major and in the course of a battle in Kentucky was killed in the autumn of 1784, aged 22. He was unmarried. | Fontaine, James (I1219)

| 235 | James Trice was born to William and Ann Trice June 18, 1769 in Louisa County, Virginia and died November 16, 1820, according to a Sons of the American Revolution application. He married Elizabeth Anderson (1773-1822) August 21, 1794. She was a daughter of Matthew and Elizabeth Anderson of Hanover and later Louisa Counties. Between 1795 and 1816, they had 9 children, 6 boys and 3 girls, according to the 1820 census for Louisa County. James’ will mentioned 4 children: Dorothy (Dolly) A., who married William W. Price January 24, 1815 in Louisa County; Sandy A. Trice, born in 1795 and died in 1823; Jefferson E., who married Catherine P. Anderson January 12, 1819, was listed in the 1820 and 1830 censuses in Richmond City; and William H., born ca 1801. Two others found in marriage indexes and W. P Anderson’s Anderson Family Records were James Meredith, born April 28, 1804, died April 4.1876, married Martha Todd Pendleton November 3, 1830, married second to Catherine George Baker, December 11, 1832; Elizabeth A., born March 19, 1809, married McClung Patton December 21, 1824, in Richmond City. Another son was Richard Anderson Trice, born August 19, 1816, in Louisa County, Virginia, married Elizabeth Dabney Meriwether James was charged in the Louisa County land tax list with 200-270 acres from 1795 through 1800, the latest year available. There was a second James Trice in Louisa County who served two years in the Revolutionary War in the company of Capt. Garland Burnley under Col. Taylor and married Mary/Polly Smith in 1787. His will was signed October 22, 1820, and proved after his death December 11, 1820. | Trice, James (I2062)

|
| 237 | Jane Dabney was born to Owen and Elizabeth (Anderson) Dabney in Hanover County, Virginia. She married Amos Bemis September 7, 1819. Amos Bemis witnessed a deed in Louisa County that conveyed a share of the Dabney and Hopes Mill from Cornelius Dabney to Robert L. Dabney, son of Samuel Dabney, 1 Jan 1814. In the 1830 census, Jane H. Bemis was living in Richmond, Virginia, aged 30-40, but was not found in the 1840 census. Amos was probably deceased before 1830 and Jane probably died between 1830 and 1840. | Dabney, Jane (I1497)
|
| 238 | Jane Henry Meredith was born to Samuel Garland Meredith Jr. and Jane Henry Meredith in 1778 in Hanover County, Virginia. She married David Shepherd Garland March 4, 1795, in Amherst County.

|
| 239 | Jane Henry was born to John and Sarah (Winston) Syme Henry on the Studley farm in Hanover County, Virginia. She married Samuel Meredith Jr. before 1775 in Hanover County. They had eleven children, but only six survived to 1808, when Samuel wrote his will: Samuel Garland III, married Elizabeth Breckenridge, moved to Lexington, Fayette County, Kentucky, where he developed and sold the the lands awarded to his father for service in the Revolutionary War; Sarah, born 1770, married Col. William Armistead, from whom she separated and sued in court, died 1829; Jane Henry, born 1778, married David S. Garland, died June 26, 1855; Mary Rice, married a Mr. May, wrongly claimed to have married Col. Edward A. Cabell, her inherited land in Kentucky was sold for her by her brother William; William H. Garland, married Miss Eubank, moved to Fayette County, Kentucky where he bought 500 scres with a Treasury Warrant; Eliza V. Garland, married George K. Cabell, died 1841, omitted from her father’s will, probably because she was well provided for by her husband. The children who died early were John Henry, Patrick Henry Garland, Louisa F. Garland, Caroline, and Martha. Samuel was born to Samuel and Margaret (Braithwaite) Meredith Sr. in 1732 in Hanover County. He was a childhood friend of Patrick Henry and married his sister. He appears to have been an enthusiastic soldier and participated as a captain in the Second Virginia Regiment in several campaigns in the Colonial and Indian Wars between1758 and 1768. In 1775, he was captain of a volunteer militia company in Hanover, but resigned command in favor of Patrick Henry whom he served as Lieutenant. It was this unit that advanced on Williamsburg to reclaim the gunpowder that Governor Dunmore had seized. Because the powder was secured on a British ship, they settled for payment of £330. In 1776, he was made Colonel of the First Virginia Battalion of Minute Men and served with distinction during the Revolution. As a reward for his service in the Colonial and Indian Wars and the Revolution, he received five bounty land grants totalling 6,494 acres in Fayette and Jefferson Counties in Kentucky. He was elected to represent Hanover County in the House of Burgesses 1766-1768 and the convention of December 1775. In 1778 he subscribed 500 pounds to old Washington Henry College in Hanover town, and for several years was president of the Board of Trustees. About 1779, he purchased the Winton farm and mansion in Amherst County and moved his famiiy there. Jane’s mother, Sarah Winston Syme Henry, moved with them and died there November 22, 1784. He represented Amherst County in the General Assembly 1791-1792, was a long presiding Justice of the Peace, and elected Sheriff in 1807. He died in 1808 and Jane died in 1819. | Henry, Jane (I749)

H. Miller’s History and Genealogies lists a ninth child, “Jink,” which may be a nickname for Jennings Jr. Jennings was listed in the Albemarle personal property tax rolls from 1807 through 1838. However, two Maupin family genealogists, Ruby G. Heard Maupin and Dorothy Maupin Shaffett, are in agreement that he died later, on Sept. 16, 1849. In the 1840 census, his aged distant cousin, Ambrose Maupin, had two elderly men aged 60-69 and 70-79 and three elderly women aged 60-69 or 70-79 in his household, among whom may have been Jennings and Sarah Maupin. | Maupin, Jennings (I1722)

| 246 | John Coles Payne was born to John and Mary (Coles) Payne June 8, 1782, in the Cedar Creek Quaker Meeting in Hanover County, Virginia. In 1783, his family moved to Philadelphia. His father failed in his laundry starch business and died in 1792 and his mother moved the family to Berkeley County, now Jefferson County, West Virginia, where his recently married sister, Lucy, and her husband, George Steptoe Washington, lived on a farm called Harewood. John’s subsequent life was an irregular series of temporary situations that involved very little active farm work and benefitted maximally from assistance from his relatives, principally his sister, Dolley Payne Todd Madison. In December, 1803, John’s mother, Mary Coles Payne, wrote to Thomas Jefferson asking for a government job for her son. Perhaps as a consequence, John was sent to Tripoli as an aide to the American Consul in 1806. He returned to the U. S. in 1811 in worse physical and financial shape than when he left. Next, he worked for a year or so in the White House, assisting President James Madison, husband of his sister, Dolley (Payne) Todd Madison, in the assembly and arrangement of his personal papers. He married in 1814 Clara Wilcox from Canada near Detroit. They had eight children: Dorothea “Dolly,” born 1805, married Wesley Thomas, physician, November 20, 1838 in Sangamon County, Illinois, living in Allen County, Kentucky, in 1850 census, in Prairie, Washington County, Arkansas, in 1860, 1870, and 1880, Wesley was a surgeon in Confederate Navy, 1863-1865; William Temple Payne, aged 30-40 in Louisa County in 1840 census, served as plantation manager at Montpelier until his death in 1843, received $300 from his aunt Dolley Madison’s 1841 will; Lucy Winston Payne Helm, born November 28, 1817 in Orange County, Virginia, married Algernon F. Helm October 8, 1839, in Sangamon County, Illinois; Anna Payne Causten, born 1819, died November 9, 1852, married Dr. James H. Causten Jr., born July, 1818, died October 3, 1856, was a close companion of Dolley Madison during Dolley’s later years and received a bequest of $3,000, a woman slave and her children, a third of Dolley’s wearing apparel, her piano, and the furniture of Dolley’s room; Mary Coles Payne, born ca 1824, living with John Coles & Clara (Wilcox) Payne in Green County, Kentucky in 1850 census, listed in 1860 census in mental asylum near Hopkinsville, Christian County, Kentucky; Clara Louisa Payne born ca 1825, married Alson E. Hunter July 4, 1857 in Green County, Kentucky, living in Benton County, Missouri, in 1860 and 1870 censuses with 4 children; Susan Decatur Payne, born 1827, may be the Susan Payne, 26, of Fayette Co., KY, who married July 12, 1853, John R.Hecks of Missouri, 39, widower, born in Fayette Co.; James M., born 1829, lived with his parents until after their deaths, received $300 from Dolley Madison’s will. From deed, tax, and census records, it appears that John and his family were living in Orange County, where Montpelier, the Madison home farm, was located, from about 1814 to 1818, in neigboring Louisa County from about 1819-1821, in Orange County from about 1822 to 1837, the year after James Madison died and John’s sister Dolley’s ability to assist his family financially was greatly reduced. In 1836, John explored the possibility of publishing a book, probably on Madison & poitical affairs, but nothing came of his early correspondence with a prominent editor. John next moved to Sangamon County, Illinois, in 1837 where he purchased 480 acres of public land, then sold portions of it, perhaps with other land, to seven buyers between 1839 and 1841. His sister, Dolley Payne Todd Madison, gave John $1,000 in her 1841 will. In September 1841, his wife, Clara, left their home in the middle of the night and fled on foot with her younger children to Newport, Kentucky, and the home of a distant Madison relation, James Taylor, who gave her a house to live in. Later, John rejoined his family and moved southward in Kentucky. In 1847, John and his son, James Madison Payne first appeared in the tax lists of Green County, Kentucky. In the 1850 census, he was listed in Green County, aged 68, with land valued at $200, his wife Clara, 52, four adult children, Mary, 26, Louisa, 24, Susan, 22, and James M., 21, and an infant, John 1, whose parentage is unclear. He continued in the Green County tax lists through 1858, then moved to Logan County, where he died and his will was proved April 30, 1860. There were a large number of Paynes living in Logan County in 1850, some of whom may have ben relatives. | Payne, John Coles (I732)
