Wadl e y 184 The Parkers and Howards born November 8, 1854, married Joshua Wright Frost on August 20, 18"4, and died July 2, 1911. More about her is found in Chapter I in the section, Joshua Wright Frost. George Allen and Elizabeth Parker Reagor's other three children were Sarah Tennie, Isaiah (Zadie) S., and James Joseph Reagor. Additional information on these children is found in Chapter V in the section, George Allen Reagor. How different would have been Elizabeth Parker's life had there not been the Civil War to disrupt it. She and George Allen Reagor had been married just a little over nine years and their two living children, Man Ellen and Zadie, were seven and three, when the young husband and father felt the call of duty to join his three brothers in the service of the Confederacy. Her husband's death, described more fully in the Georce Allen Reagor section of Chapter V, left Elizabeth Parker Realtor a wid0V1 with two small children with three more years of war and many other year, of hardship facing her. The story is told of a night of suspense when men and horses were heard outside, while doors and blinds were kept tightly closed. Neither the house nor anyone in it was molested; but next morning it was discovered that the family's meat supply had been taken from the nearby "smoke house." The raiders were foraging Yankee soldiers or "bushwhackers." The latter were lawless men without the courage or conviction to serve either side in the war but who took advantage of war- time conditions to prey upon women and children and other defenseless citizens. On July 28, 1867, after having remained a widow for more than fi%e years, Elizabeth Parker Reagor married a widower, John Neel Harris, w ho moved into her home. He brought with him his own two children, Etta Harris, who later married Massie Tillett, and James Harris, who died single. From all reports, this marriage of widow and widower, with ago children each, produced a happy and harmonious home, Grandsir Harris. as he was known by his step-grandchfldren, was loved and respected by them. In an obituary, the Reverend John E. Frost wrote of him as. .. leaving one daughter by his first marriage and a step -son and daughter to whom he was greatly attached and who in turn loved him as a father. He was a kind, devoted husband, a good father, ruling not with the rod but with gentle cords of fatherly love." Nothing is known about the early life of John Neel Harris; but there is a tradition that Harrisbur_,,. Pennsylvania, was named for his relatives. He was first married to Martha Stephens. According to his tombstone inscription in the Old Flat Creel: Cemetery, he was born May 17, 1824, and died January 31, 1895. The tombstone inscription also gives the date of his marriage to Elizabeth Parker Reagor. After a little less than twenty-eight years of marriage to her second husband, Elizabeth Parker Reagor-Harris again became a widow, this time to remain so until her death, on April 10, 1913, at the age of seventy-nine. During these remaining eighteen years of her life, three of her married granddaughters lived with Granny Harris. In the order in which they lived in her home were Georgie Reagor Frost and husband Andrew J. Driskill. Tradition 185 3.. May Frost and husband Walter L. Hix, Ethel Reagor and husband Iles Pearson, and again Walter and Eula May Frost Hix. Mr. and Mrs. ry Carter and daughter Elizabeth (Lizzie) Carter were living with any Harris at the time of her death. The Howard Tradition p� Through the Parker family came the tradition that one should- take de in his "Howard blood," as though that were something special. In the pnning of his family research, the writer had the feeling that, when once `"got into serious study of the Howard family, he would soon pick up the it to aristocrary, if not to royalty. This pride of ancestry among Howard pendants is illustrated by a conversation which a friend once had with s Lizzie Parker Gammill, a granddaughter of Joseph and Faner ►ward Parker and a great-granddaughter of William Howard, the earliest ►ward of whom she had any knowledge. '""Mrs. Gammill," asked her friend, "What was it that the Howards had ich puts them in such a place of distinction? Was it social prominence 3 aristocracy, or was it wealth?" . . =r Thereupon Cousin Lizzie screwed up her mouth with typical Howard de and replied, "Well—both." Y `Another illustration of the Howard legend was the scolding which c1e Joe Parker gave his son Doyle for failing to head off a drove of de: "If you had more Howard in you and not so much Ray, you uldn't have let them by." Contemporaries knew that such a contrast s ludicrous, but it illustrates the tradition. It was with regret and chagrin that during his first three years of ious efforts in family research the writer was unable to identify a single ward ancestor earlier than William Howard who was already well iblished in the traditions of the family. Eventually, however, in Febru- 1961, a Bible record supplied by descendants in West Tennessee re- eled that Benjamin Howard, William Howard's youngest son, was born [Iowan County, North Carolina. While this information did not provide red carpet trail to royalty, it did lead the way to the identity of another aeration of Howards who lived near the Boones, Fairchilds, Frosts, and ghts nearly two centuries ago. In the writer's own genealogy the first on among these families was between Ebenezer Frost and Sarah Fair - [d. in Rowan County, North Carolina, in 1769. Three other marriages %d Captain John Frost and Rebecca Boone in Rowan County in 1793, ymezer B. Frost and Nancy Wright in Surry County, North Carolina, in f2 and Joshua Wright Frost and Mary Ellen Reagor, a great-grandchild William Howard, in Bedford County, Tennessee, in 1874. :,-The earliest public record of the Howard family in Tennessee, which come to the attention of the writer, is the 1820 Census Report for Coln County. How much earlier William Howard's family came to 61n- County cannot be determined by records which have been found list county; but records in Rowan County, North Carolina, indicate that migration probably took place in 1817. 186 The Parkers and Christopher Howard (ante 1743-1815) The earliest known Howard ancestor of the Parker family of P Creek, Tennessee, was Christopher Howard whose will was dated 4, gust 8, 1815, and proved in the November term of Rowan County Cot of the same year (Will Book G, pp. 400-401). His birth date has not bt determined; but it is assumed to have been earlier than 1743, since he is record in Rowan County, North Carolina, as having purchased 205 acres land from Henry Eustace McCulloch on April 30, 1763. This tract he sold to McCulloch on December 15, of the same year (Deed Book pp. 326 and 508). From The Howard Family, a book by Anne Arundel Gentry in Rowan County Library, this quotation is taken: "Several Howards Maryland settled before the Revolution in the western portion of No Carolina. The follo«ing were granted land patents in Rowan Countj John Howard (1762), Phillip (1762), Benjamin Howard (1768), Ch topher Howard (1778), and William Howard (1782)." The writer discovered no way of determining if one of the others was Christop Howard's father or whatever other relationship there may have b among the five Howards. It seems unlikely that the Christopher How. who was a devisee of John Howard's will proved in Wilkes County, Nc Carolina, in July, 1811, was identical with our subject (Wilkes Cou Will Book 3, p. 8); but that is a possibility which should not be overlool by anyone resolved to identify earlier Howard ancestors. The Rov County Tax List of 1778 contains Christopher Howard in the John. District with Ebenezer Frost, another of the writer's ancestors. On Ot her 10, 1783, Christopher Howard received from the State of Nc Carolina a grant of 300 acres located in the forks of the Yadkin Ri along the waters of Carter and Henline Creeks (Rowan County D Book 9, p. 587). Most of the information on Christopher Howard's family has cc from his will which was witnessed by Jilson (or Jelson) and Sarah Bei man. His wife's naine was Rachel, and she was living when he made will; but the writer has been unable to determine either her maiden n: or the date and place of their marriage. Their ten children—George, Jc William, Rachel, Hannah, Henry, Sally, Phillip, Cornelius, and Josepl are sketched below in the order in which their names appear in the v 1. There was a son named George Howard who seems to have b outside of Rowan County at the time the will was written and who ha son named Cornelius. It is assumed that this is the George Howard t married Polly Baits in Rowan County, August 28, 1813. 2. Their son John Howard is assumed to have been the John How who married Betsy McDannel in Rowan County, October 21, 1791, t Henry Hardister as bondsman. This is possibly the John Howard w ' living in Lincoln County, Tennessee, in 1820. 3. Named third and fourth in the will were Christopher Ho son William and William's son Christopher for gifts of land. They . Christopher Howard's sale of his inherited land in 1823 (Rowan �ti`iUiam Howard (ca. 17-70-4-835) 187 Deed Book 27, pp. 762-763). is the documentary evidence that the older Christopher Howard was *the father. of the William Howard who settled in Lincoln County, Tennessee, before 1820. Additional information on William Howard and his son Christopher is found in the next two sections of this chapter. 4. Since Christopher Howard's daughter Rachel had a son named Phillip Howard, it is assumed that she married a Howard; but no record of this marriage has been found. 5. Hannah Hardister was named as a daughter. Probably she had married Henry Hardister who was bondsman in the marriage of her brother John. 6. A son Henry Howard was named executor of the will. No record has been found to determine whom he married. 7. Sally King was named as a daughter. She may have been the Sarah Howard who married Jonas Bennett on August 18, 1800, and may have married a King later. 8. Except in his father's will, the identity of Phillip Howard has not been established sufficiently to distinguish him from others of the same name. 9. Cornelius Howard, named as a son in Christopher Howard's will, likewise, has not been distinguished from others of the same name. 10. Joseph Howard, named as a son in Christopher Howard's will, may have been the Joseph Howard who married Margaret Crouse in Rowan County on January 19, 1809. Although Henry Howard was designated in his fathers will as the executor, this quotation taken from the McCubbins Papers in the Rowan County Library indicates that he did not serve: "Administration of will of Christopher Howard is granted to George and Polly Howard who gave bond with James Dowell and Jelson Berryman." This indicates that before the final settlement of Christopher Howard's estate his son Henry had died or left the county while George had returned. A more thorough study of Rowan Countv records might yield more information about Christopher Howard's children but probably no more about his ancestry which proba- bly is recorded in some undetermined courthouse in the State of Maryland. William Howard (ca. 1770-1835) Public records indicate that at least four men by the name of William Howard lived in Rowan County, North Carolina. between 1790 and 1825. There may have been others. It has been difficult, therefore, to distinguish the records of all the others from those of the son of Christopher and Rachel Z Howard. This is the William Howard who on January 10, 1800, .bought 200 acres of land on the waters of Carter Creek in the forks of the Yadkin, k near a grant which his father had received from John Johnson, of David- son County, Tennessee (Rowan County Deed Book 17, p. 408), and who sold 350 acres on Carter Creek on September 30, 1817, to Henry Faw, of Stokes County, North Carolina, for $1500 (Rowan County. Deed Book 24, P. 359) . This 350 acres presumably included the land which he had in- herited from his father, Christopher Howard, in 1815;- and the sale may Y- 188- The Parkers and Itowards have preceded almost immediately William Howard's migration to Lincoln County, Tennessee, where he was living in 1820 when the census was taken. The family tradition that William Howard married Mary Stephens is not verified by any record which has been found in Rowan or neighboring Counties of North Carolina. There are records of four marriages involving the name William Howard between 1794 and 1816; but only the first_ the one to Elizabeth Chaffin on August 5, 1794—could be to the mother of Christopher, Sally, Benjamin, and Faller Howard, whose births occurred between 1802 and 1812. This marriage, however, seems entirely too early for the birth of the first child to have been in 1802. Man), marriages in those days failed to get on public record for various reasons, includin, the one explained by the Reverend Jethro Rumple on Page 71 of his book, Rowan County: "It is said that Frobock charged fifteen dollars for a marriage license; and the consequence was that some of the inhabitants on the headwaters of the Yadkin took a short cut. They took each other for better or worse; and considered themselves married without any further ceremony." William Howard's birth date is not known; but it is estimated to have been between 1770 and 1775, since the Rowan County Census Report for 1810 lists him as under 45, and the Lincoln County, Tennessee, Report for 1820 lists him in the 50 to 60 age bracket. His wife was placed in the same age bracket as he by the 1810 Report, but he apparently had become a widower by 1820. Before passing from the subject of William Howard's wife, or wives, it should be mentioned that there was a William Stephens who made his will in Rowan County, North Carolina, September 3, 1803 (Rowan County Will Book D, p. 43). He named three children—Sarah Stephens, Joseph Stephens, and Polly (probably Mary) Stephens. It must be more than a coincidence that Benjamin Howard, William's youngest son, named one of his sons William Stephens Howard and one of his daughters Mary B. Howard. There is the possibility of an error in the re- corded date of William Stephens' will. Moreover, Mary (Polly) Stephens may have been William Howard's second, or even third, wife and not the mother of his older children. The Howards probably settled within the general vicinity of mhat is now Kelso in Lincoln County, Tennessee. At least it was in that arca on Tucker's Creek that William Howard entered three fifty -acre tracts of Lmd in July and August, 1824. The location is described as "on Tucker's Creek, north side of Elk River, due east of Fayetteville, near Franklin Count}' Line." Grants for two of these tracts were received in 1827; but that for the third came on April 15, 1846, many years after William Howard's death (Middle Tennessee Grants Book 3, p. 686, and Book 21, p. 209). These three tracts, totaling 150 acres, probably joined other land which William Howard had acquired earlier in a transaction which did not become ❑ part of the permanent records of Lincoln County. They probably were included in the 450 acres on which William Howard lived and which he bequeathed to his youngest son, Benjamin Howard (Lincoln County Will Book 1- p. 117). a Howard's Children 189 illiam Howard's will, which bore his mark and the date, April 2, Has proved during the April Term of Court in 1835. It is assumed died shortly before April, 1835. Although there seems to have been city of money in his family, William Howard died before tombstone ions became common in Lincoln County. It is not likely that his ,ill ever be identified; but he and his sons Christopher and Benjamin y were buried in the old Howard Family Cemetery, between Kelso dberry, where there are a number of unmarked graves and others [inscribed tombstones. In this cemetery is a monument with this ion: "Jane Wife of C. Howard died Feb. 13, 1871, age 63 years." William Howard's Children Fm the Bible records of William Boone and Benjamin Howard, from am Howard's will, from other courthouse records, and from reliable ily traditions sufficient information has been assembled to prepare ches of varying lengths on each of William Howard's six children— istopher, Sally, James, Enoch, Benjamin, and Faner. In 1961 the Bible Ord of William Howard's son-in-law William Boone was in the posses - of a descendant, Mrs. Daisy Parker Lawrence, of Gotha, Florida; and try Wallace Moffett, of Union City, Tennessee, had his grandfather jamin Howard's Bible. It is noteworthy that, although there has been ;iderable longevity among William Howard's grandchildren and great- tdchildren, his six children died before reaching old age—before 1860. j Christopher reached fifty, and he died before he was fifty-one years 5'L Christopher Howard, William Howard's fust known child, was born it 20, 1802, according to the William Boone Bible record. He died ;ber 19, 1852, a few hours after having made an oral will on his death - in the presence of F. R. Moore, David Rorur, George Berry, and R. M. ge (Lincoln County Will Book 2, p. 45). His name was fust placed on is record in the will of his grandfather Christopher Howard from m as a namesake he received a fifty -acre tract of land. This will was d August 8, 1815, and was probated in the following November Term ,owan County, North Carolina, Court (Will Book G, pp. 400-401). bequest, together with the subsequent sale of the fifty acres of land, unents the grandfather -son -grandson relationship of Christopher lard, William Howard, and Christopher Howard. Upon becoming dy-one years of age, Christopher Howard, `of the State of Tennessee, 0111 County," made a trip back to Rowan County, North Carolina, and the fifty -acre tract of land which his grandfather had bequeathed him Wan County Deed Book 27, pp. 762-763). topher Howard's wife's name was Jane, according to his will and 50 Census Report. From a family source has come the information •her name was Jane Stiles before marriage, but this has not been fed by any public or family record which has come to the attention of "ter. According to her tombstone inscription in the old Howard Cemetery, between Kelso and Mulberry, she died February 13, the age of 63. The date of their marriage is not known; but it is 190 The Parkers and Howards assumed to have occurred in the early 1820's, since the Census Report of 1830 lists in Christopher Howard's household a girl between five and ten years of age. Christopher Howard's will granted his wife Jane all his property "for life -time use and care of the children," except four or five years' use of two different tracts of land which he granted to his son William and his son-in- law Newton C. Luttrell, husband of his daughter Juliana (Lincoln County Will Book 2, pp. 45-46). On the last. day he lived, Christopher Howard probably recognized the urgent need for a will to prevent the division of his property which his widow would need to keep intact for the support of their seven minor children. James Fulton was named executor with Charles Bright as an alternate. James Fulton's relationship with the Howards has not been determined; but he was Trustee of Lincoln County for a number of years, a prominent man locally, and apparently a close friend, if not a g relative, of the family. Christopher Howard's brother Benjamin had earlier, on December 13, 1851, named his youngest son James Fulton Howard. Identification of Christopher Howard's children has been difficult but reasonably satisfactory. No Bible record of the family has been located, and his will contained the names of only one son and the husband of one daughter. Census reports indicate there were in all at least eleven children —three born before 1830, four between 1830 and 1840, and four after 1840. One son, born before 1830, appears to have died before 1840 leaving ten brothers and sisters whose identification has been established to the writer's satisfaction. The three oldest children—Cincinnati, Wil- liam J., and Juliana—had married before 1850 when the census taker listed in Christopher Howard's household the following: Benton, 14: Benjamin, 10; James, 8; Jane, 13; Martha, 7; Nancy, 5; and Thomas, 3. The 1860 Census Report lends support to the writer's conviction, based upon other records, that the youngest child in the family in 1850 was not a boy named Thomas but, instead, a girl named Fatter, sometimes called Fannie. Benton, the first child listed in the 1850 Census Report, was actually named Thomas Benton and was known generally by his contem- poraries as Tom Bent Howard. Sketches on each of'Christopher and Jane j Stiles Howard's ten known children follow. Cincinnati Howard is thought to have been. Christopher and Jane Stiles Howard's first child. On August 19-20, 1848, she married George P. 1 Hunter (Lincoln County Marriages, 1838-1860, p. 166). Evidence that she was Christopher Howard's daughter is found in the guardianship of Benjamin V. Howard, son of Christopher Howard, which was granted to George P. Hunter by the March Term of Lincoln County Court in 1858 (Lincoln County Court Minutes, 1856-1860, p. 218). According to the 1870 Census Report of the Twenty-third District of Lincoln County, in which they were listed as living, Cincinnati Howard Hunter was born about 1824 or 1825 and her husband about eleven years earlier. They had at least two sons, James and I. A. D. Hunter, according to the 1870 Census Report. William J. Howard, second of the known children of his parents, mar- ried Sarah E. Stiles on January 5, 1845 (Lincoln County Marriages 1838- .=Wdliam Howard's Children 191 1860, p. 105). In the 1850 Census Report for Lincoln County he is listed as age twenty-five and his wife Sarah as twenty-one. They had two children at that time—William, five, and Christopher, one. At the September Term of Lincoln County Court in 1857, William J. Howard gave a new bond for the guardianship of his brother and sisters, Benjamin, Nancy, and Faner Howard. In March, 1858, Benjamin's guardianship was transferred to his brother-in-law George P. Hunter on the grounds that William J. Howard had left the State of Tennessee (Lincoln County Court Minutes, 1856- 1860, pp. 126 and 218). Juliana Howard, according to the Census Reports of 1860 and 1870, was born about 1834. On December 8, 1847, she married Newton C. Luttrell (Lincoln County Marriages 1838-1860, p. 154) who, according to the Census Report of 1860, was born about 1825. The Census Reports of 1860 and 1870 indicate that they had eight children—William, Sarah, dames, John D., Dora A., N. L., Hezekiah, and M. J. P. Luttrell. New- ton C. Luttrell's name is found frequently in the records of Lincoln County relative to the guardianship of his wife's brothers and sisters and his later purchase of their "one-tenth interests" in their father's estate. Jane Howard is confirmed as a daughter of Christopher and Jane Stiles Howard by the resignation of her brother William J. Howard from the guardianship of "Jane Thompson, former Jane Howard (wife of Wm. H. Thompson)" (Lincoln County Court Minutes 1854-1856, p. 231). It was on January 6-7, 1855, that she had married William H. Thompson (Lin- coln County Marriages 1838-1860, p. 279). According to the 1850 Census Report, Jane Howard was born about 1837. On June 7, 1860, William H. Thompson was granted guardianship of his wife's sisters Nancy and Faner Howard (Lincoln County Court Minutes 1860-1863, p. 10). Thomas Benton Howard, generally known as Tom Bent Howard, ap- pears to have been the best remembered of Christopher Howard's children by later residents of Lincoln County. According to his tombstone inscrip- tion, he was born December 11, 1835, and died February 25, 1881. On an unknown date, about 1856, he married Lutishia White who, according to the Census report of 1870, was born about 1826. To them were born six children—John Thomas Howard, who married Josephine Ramsey; Martha Howard, who married John Lloyd; Christopher B. Howard, who was en- gaged to Henrietta McGehee but did not marry her due to losing his arta; " Mollie L. Howard, who married Dock Conley; James P. Howard, who married Layetta Shelton; and George F. Howard, who marded Fanny Me- t Couloh. From the union of John Thomas Howard and Josephine Ramsey `Howard came Benjamin Clifford Howard whose widow Effie Mae Mc- 4fiehee Howard and son Ed Howard furnished much of the information on `bm Bent Howard's family. Benjamin V. Howard, according to census reports, was born about d$39. On October 12, 1858, he married Mary Jane Gattis (Lincoln County arriages 1838-1860, p. 346) who, according to the Census Report of 60, was born about 1837. Apparently she had died before 1870, when njamin Howard, a constable, according to the Census Report of that and his three children—William, Allie J., and Charlie Howard—were 192 The Parkers and IInwards F t living in the home of Berry W. and Allie Gattis, presumably the parents of his deceased wife. Charlie, the youngest, was four. lames Howard, according to the Census Report of 1850, was born about 1842. On October 4, 1858, he married Hulda Thompson (Lincoln County Marriages 1838-1860, p. 346) who bore him two children, George and Jimmy. Jimmy was a girl, blind from birth, who was born while her father was serving in the Civil War in which he lost his life. Martha Howard, according to the Census Report of 1850, was born about 1843. On February 20-22, 1857, she married John Little, who was born about 1839 (Lincoln County Marriages 1838-1860, p. 317). They were living in the Twenty-third District of Lincoln County in 1860 and {• had a two-year-old son, Samuel Little. On September 12, 1867, John Little and wife Martha sold their "one-tenth interest" in Christopher Howard's estate to their brother-in-law Newton C. Luttrell (Lincoln County Deed Book D-2, p. 75). Nancy Howard, according to the 1850 Census Report, was born about 1845. When the census was taken in 1860, she was living with her widowed mother and sister Faner; but on July 16-24 of that year she married Berry W. Gattis (Lincoln County Marriages 1838-1860, p. 373), presumably a brother of Mary Jane Gattis who married Nancy Howard's brother Benjamin two years earlier. On November 25, 1865, B. W. Gattis and wife Nancy sold their "one-tenth interest" in Christopher Howard*s estate to their brother-in-law Newton C. Luttrell (Lincoln County Peed Book A-2, p. 342). Faner Howard, apparently named for her aunt Faner Howard P: rkcr but sometimes called Fannie, was born about 1846, according to the 1860 Census Report which listed her with her widowed mother, Jane Howard. and her sister Nancy. Faner Howard appears rather young to have married in 1860; but she is the Faner Howard who married Rufus D. C. McMillen on July 23-24 of that year (Lincoln County Marriages 1838-1860, p. 373). as evidenced by their sale on September 12, 1867, of "one-tenth interest" in Christopher Howard's estate to their brother-in-law Newton C. Luttrell (Lincoln County Deed Book D-2, p. 75). Faner and her sister Nancy prob- ably had a double wedding, since both ceremonies were performed be J. H. Eslick, J. P., who returned both marriage licenses to the courthouse on the same day, July 24, 1860. Having thus accounted for Christopher Howard's ten known children, we return now to the other children of his father, William Howard. 2. Sally Howard, second child of William Howard, according to the Boone Bible, was born December 29, 1803, and married William Boone on March 25, 1824. According to other family records, she died January 13. 1843, at the age of forty. William Boone, son of the Reverend Benjamin and Mary Wilson Boone, was born in Rowan County, North Carolina. Dc- cember 12, 1790, and died June 9, 1854, according to other family records. William and Sally Howard Boone were the parents of eleven childreu - Howard, Polly, Rhoda, Benjamin, Faner, Sarah Donaldson, James.

Benjamin Howard's own Bible record 1. is:this this birth date with the added information that he was born in v County, North Carolina, that he married Esther Hester George on t, 1840 (verified by Lincoln County Marriages 1838-1860, p. 7), 1 he died in Lincoln County, Tennessee, February 11, 1858, at the forty-eight. Esther Hester George, known by her family as Hetty, ng to this same Bible record, was born in Lincoln County, Tennes- xember 26, 1822, and died there in August, 1852, at the age of She was the daughter of Thomas and Mary George. It is assumed n�amin and Hetty George Howard lived on the 450 -acre farm on Creek, in Lincoln County, which Benjamin received through his "will. When Hetty died, her youngest child was less than a year old, oldest was only eleven. Six years later, Benjamin Howard's death � Orphans ranging in age from six to seventeen.

Howard, was liv- he home of William Copeland who had married her mother's sister knn George on November 24, 1854 (Lincoln County Marriages '860, p. 276) and who had been made administrator of Benjamin I's estate (Lincoln County Court Minutes 1856-1860, p. 210). An- Ethe girls, Martha G. Howard, married early in 1860 and was living husband Frank M.

Fifteen -year-old Julia Howard, A�oldest, , was probably living with other relatives. gst of Benjamin and Hetty George Howard's children lived at one another in. Union City Tennessee. Birth dates of all six children �s Martha G., Julia Ann, William Stephens, Hester Ann, and ton—are found in the family Bible record which was preserved death by the oldest child, Mary B. Howard Shoffner, and later by dson Henry Wallace Moffett. From this Bible record, from 'other ' rds, and from the memory of older relatives, has come sufficient ` n' for a short sketch on each of these six children. �. Howard, first child of Benjamin and Hester George Howard, in Lincoln County, Tennessee, May 23, 1841. It is not known ,_she lived in the home of William and Mary Ann George Cope- 194 The Parkers and Howards land near the home of her deceased parents in the Fourth District of Lincoln County; but on December 28, 1865, she married Daniel Peyton Shoffner (1839-1895), son of Joel and Matilda Shoffner (Goodspeed's History of Lauderdale County., Biographical Section). In 1867 they moved to Union City, Tennessee, and had three daughters -Ella Vesta Shoffner, who died young; Florence Shoffner, who married James Clintoa Harris; and Lotta Dana Shoffner, who married Dr. William M. Turner (History of John Sho f ner and His Descendants, p. 87, by C. L. Shoffner) . Mar)" B. Howard Shoffner lived until March 23, 1912. It was she who preserved her father's Bible after his death. Martha G. Howard, second child of Benjamin and Hester George Howard, was born December 14, 1842, and died at Dyer, Gibson County, Tennessee, May 8, 1872, according to her father's Bible record. Between February 22 and March 1, 1860, she married Frank M. Snoddy (Lincoln County Marriages 1838-1860, p. 370) . They were living in the Twenty- fifth District of Lincoln County when. the 1860 Census was taken. During the March Term of Lincoln County Court in 1866, Frank M. Snoddy was made guardian of his wife's minor brothers and sister, William Stephens, Hester Ann, and James Fulton Howard (Lincoln County Court Minutes, Book A,. -p. 337) . It is not known if the middle initial in her name stood for George; but whatever it stood for, it is significant in records to dis- tinguish Martha G. Howard from her first cousin Martha Howard who married John Little. Julia Ann Howard, third child of Benjamin and Hester George How- ard, was born January 29, 1845, according to the Bible record. She is re- ported to have married Richard Neil and to have moved to New York City. No further information on her has been made available to the writer. William. Stephens Howard, fourth child of Benjamin and Hester George Howard, according to the Bible record, was born June 14, 1847, in Lincoln County and died in Union City, Tennessee,. June 14, 1931. Ac- cording to relatives, he married Anna Dobbins and lived for a time in Mis- souri. His name is significant, since there was living in Rowan County, North Carolina. in 1803, a William Stephens who had a daughter Polly (Mary) who well may have been the traditional Mary Stephens who mar- ried William Stephens Howard's grandfather William Howard. No record has been found, however, to support the tradition. Hester Ann Howard, fifth child of Benjamin and Hester George. Howard, according to the Bible record, was born December 9, 1849, and died December 9, 1892, in Union City, Tennessee. She married Henry Moffett. They had the following children: Benjamin Howard Moffett, who married Lolah Fithian and lived in Kansas City, Missouri; Henry Wallace, Moffett, who married Mary Maude McConnel, who was living in Union City in 1960, and who had possession of his grandfather Benjamin How- ard's Bible at that time; Winnie Mai Moffett, who mjrried Dr. R. A. Napier and who was living in Union City in 1960; Ada Moffett, who married Dr. H. W. Qualls; and William Fulton Moffett, who marred. Estelle Goodman and who was living in Memphis in 1960.- Differe members of the Moffett family made frequent visits to.,their relatives in the Flat. Creek Community Howard's Children 195 .nf Bedford County. Winnie Mai and Fulton are particularly remembered by older relatives as having visited in the home of the writer's grandparents, Joshua Wright and Mary Ellen Reagor Frost. Fulton Moffett was about dye same age as their son. Carl W. Frost. Remembered is a table argument between the two small boys over the pronunciation of biscuit. "Don't say, ,bissit'," said Carl. "Say, `bicker'." James Fulton Howard, sixth and last child of Benjamin and Hester George Howard, was born December 13, 1851, less than a year before his mother died. He married Ada Caldwell and lived in Union City, Tennessee, where he died November 6, 1930. He had at least one son, Benjamin "Fulton Howard, who was living in Union City in 1960. Having thus identified and sketched Benjamin Howard's six children, we turn next to his sister, the last of William Howard's children. 6. Faner Howard, sixth and last child of William Howard, was born in Rowan County, North Carolina, August 22, 1812, and died near Flat Creek, Tennessee, August 12, 1859, at the age of forty-seven. On Febru- ary 17, 1828, in Lincoln County, Tennessee, she married Joseph Parker, son of Joseph and Elizabeth Guiton Parker, who had come from South "Carolina. Joseph and Faner Howard Parker were the parents of thirteen dren who grew to maturity: William, Isaiah, Mary, Elizabeth, Rachel, ohn Benjamin, Sarah, Rhoda, James Barksdell (Dock), Candice, Frances Fannie), Joseph Guiton, and Antoinnette (Nettie) Parker. (Additional =:information on Joseph and Faner Howard Parker and sketches on their chil- dren are found in earlier sections of this chapter.) The marriage of Joseph Parker and Faner Howard brought to the writer and his closest relatives the unction of their Parker and Howard ancestry a few years after these pioneer families first met in Lincoln County, Tennessee almost a century and a half ago. It is hoped that some reader will continue the search for earlier ancestors of these two families. �pdte Cour' public Library J �%ksvdle, NC 194 The Parkers and land near the home of her deceased parents in the Fourth District o Lincoln County; but on December 28, 1865, she married Daniel Peyto Shoffner (1839-1895), son of Joel and Matilda Shoffner (Goodspeed History of Lauderdale County, Biographical Section).

Joseph and Faner Howard Parker were the parents1of thirteen children who grew to maturity: William, Isaiah, Mary, Elizabeth, Rachel, John Benjamin, Sarah, Rhoda, James Barksdell (Dock), Candice, Frances ( Fannie , Jpseph Guiton,gad Anto vette (Nettie ar er.

It is hoped that some reader will continue the search for earlier ancestors of these two families. —o c 3 V In 1981, there was an accidental shooting of a member of the Howard Family by his brother. There had been an argument with a local farmer whop employed both of them on his farm. Leaving in high temper, as he pulled away in a car, one brother fired a shot, which hit not his former employer but his own brother and killed him -"Cain killed his brother.... as in the Bible. said Discussing this accidental killing with Bill Ferebee, he XXX,t that there had been at least one other individual who had "murdered" his own brother in Davie C unty, and if I wanted to ` learn exactly what happened, I *h see Jesse HuXtIhinson who knew the story in all Sts details.

There were licensesdd still in Davie Coxxty, fillass was not one T of them. As they were cooking a batch, they were warned of a possible raid by Federal officers; Marshall wanted to cease the j operation the moment he heard of the impending raid, Filmore decided to finish off what they were processing. As he was a processing the batch, with the still in full operation, the o Federal officers arrived. Filmore then siezed an axe, and smashed 0 2 the still as the Federal officers approached. The alcohol caught fire, and the entire still blazed and burned to the ground. Marshall argued with his brother maintaining that if only they had dismantled the still, all of their equipment would have survived and been easily reassembled. Marshall was noted for his flaming temper and the argument was very bitter. There were many loud arguments in the days that followed, and Marshall was riding in his buggy one day when he saw his brother Filmore and two other men operating a combime in a field along side the roadl Another argument ensued; harsh insult were hurled back and forth, and asFilmo a stepped down from his position on the combine, Marshall iio his gun and shot XFilmore in the chest. Marshall then jumped out of his buggy, gun in hand, went -b� to Filmore and fired another shot into his brother who was sprawleod on the ground. Mardhall shouted to the two witnessses" Shoot somebody better make sure he's dead". Filmore was dead. -certainly after the second shot. Marshall Cain then got back in his buggy 2 and drove off, leaving his brother Filmore Cain dead in the field. Marshall went Oj.'XXX swiftly to his home and gathered guns and ammunition and some food and ➢* went into hiding deep in the t)O�r" woods. He returned when his food was consumed, and got more foodp@ Qaw- :6arning that the murder was not reported to the sherriff he resumed living in his h%ome. As far as is know, the murder was never reproted to the authorities, and Marshall Cain lived a free man, feared by one and all for his flaming temper, and his willing- ness to inflict bodily harm on anyone who crossed him/ "You get him riled up, he'd as soon kill you" buried Both Filmore Cain, and his brother Marshall Cain are txixRd in the same cemtery - P HOWARD FAMILY CEMETERY HERE LIES THE (BO)DY OF AND (R)EW J.

There is no information on.their children; it is possible that Mary (Bryan) Howard took herself and her children to Kentucky with the Boones and Bryans, where the story of "Judas" Howard was unknown. Also enclosed is a review of a book on Clairborne Howard; note the index does not include a Cornelius Howard. It would seem after his death by ambush that Cornelius Howard fades from the history of the Forks of the Yadkin River. I will also mention that there is nota great deal of information on any of of the early settlers in the North Carolina Piedmont. It is altogether possible that Cornelius Howard who dies 0826 in Henderson County, Kentucky could have been the son of "Judas" Howard who dies in the 1760's in North Carolina.

I have now re- ceived them and have made a typed copy. A copy is attached. After I left you I thought that perhaps the HOWARD Family Cemetery might have been near the home of his father whose name was also PHILIP HOWARD. But I have since searched through a book on cemeteries in Forsyth County but didn't find anything there either. I did find records of the DOUTHITS (allied family of the Ilowards) that were buried'in the Maravians Cemetery at HOPE or NEW HOPE in Forsyth County. I am enclosing 3 of my HOWARD FA.^OILY books. One is for you, one is for Dick Seats who runs the shop near your place, and the other is for -our friend named Boone. I am also enclosing some supplemental materials that I have found in Maryland about this particular HOWARD family. The depositions indicate that PHILIP HOWARD SR, who removed from Frederick County Maryland to Rowan County, N. C. had seven or eight sons. Only three are identified by these depositions. PHILIP JR. who re- mained, in Surry and who was the father of JOHN HOWARD of Macon County, N. C. Then there was the brother JOHN HOWARD that re- moved to Wilkes and died there and left a will there. Finally BEN HOWARD who also removed to Wilkes and died there and left a will there.' There were a couple more HOWARDS that were in that area early and if possible I would like to tie them tb the PHILIP HOWARD family if, in fact, that is where they belong. One was CORNELIUS HOWARD who married Mary Bryan (See attached material from THE'LONG HUNTERS and from THE BOONE FAMILY). The other is CHRISTOPHER HOWARD (See attached material on THE PARKER FAMILY). You told me that JOSHUA HOWARD married ALEE BRYAN. I would like to know more about him. And any other HOWARDS in that area. -Thanks--four all your help. J)Vy-JaGO13"kIp�1iN i ry Mocksalle, \John T.

Case of JOHN DAVIDSON vs. THE ATTORNEY GENERAL on behalf of THE STATE OF MARYLAND.... Be it remembered that heretofore to wit the thirty first day of October Seventeen hundred and eighty seven came into the States high .Court of Chancery JOHN DAVIDSON and exhibited his petition against the Attorney General on behalf of the State of Maryland in the words following to wit: "To the Honorable John Rogers, Esquire, Chancellor of the State of Maryland. The Petition of Major John Davidson of the City of Annapolis sheweth that your Petitioner in the year 1782 purchased at public vendue of the Commissioners for the preservation and sale of confiscated British property at a sale in Frederick Town a lot of land part of Mono- cacy D:anor known and distinguished on the platt of the said manor by No. 55 containing 192 acres, 150 acres part thereof had been heretofore leased for three lives to a certain PHILLIP HOWARD and JOHN HOWARD. Your petitioner further shows that at, the time of the sale the Commissioners as also the Auctioneer publickly declared and asserted that there was but one of the three lives in exist- ance for which the lease aforesaid was granted and that the said person had removed to Carolina 30 years at least preceeding the day of sale as appears by the annexed deposition of Major Benjamin Brookes, one of the biders for the said land.In consequence of which declaration of the Commissioners your memorialist was induced to bid a considerable deal more for the said land than he otherwise would have done had he known the truth of the case. Your Petitioner after having the said lot of land struck off to him being the high- est bidder at and for the price of thirteen hundred pounds demanded of a certain Christian Hufferd (who had long before purchased the said lease.and then was and still is in possession of the said land) to have the life proved which was alleged by the Commissioners to be existing in Carolina under whom he claimed title and by which he kept possession of the said land. Your Petitioner further shews that in consequence of his demand as aforesaid Christian Hufferd, Tenant in Possession as aforesaid did in the year 1784 for the ex- press purpose send a person to Carolina and obtained the annexed deposition of PHILIP HOWARD by which it appears that PHILIP HOWARD and JOHN HOWARD, two of the persons for whose lives the aforesaid leas was granted are still living. Your petitioner further shows that altho he has used his endeavors from the time he first under- stood the last mentioned deposition was obtained yet he could pro cure possession of it till lately the aforesaid Hufferd being a- fraid it might be lost or mislaid and that he should be put to the trouble of sending to Carolina for another. Your Petitioner there- fore humbly prays that your Honor will take his case into consider- ation and release him from the purchase aforesaid made and order return of the money which your Petitioner has paid, or that your Honor will be pleased to direct'such deduction to be made for the unexpected encumbrance of the additional life as to your Honor seem right and will further order and decree such further and other proceedings as your Honor may seem meet on the nature of this your Petitioners case may require and your Petitioner will ever pray. /s/ JOHN DAVIDSON.'

'To the third, I do not remember. To the fourth I do not remember. To the fifth I know of no other terms than that the purchasers were to possess the lots on the expiration of the leases. I do not recollect that the lot in question was sold on different terms from others. To the Sixth, I do not. To the Plaintiffs first Interrogatory I do not remember that the Venders Master was in the Street placed opposite to and at a little distance from the windows of a Tavern and that the Commissioners were within the House and that they placed themselves at the S. Windows that they might more conveniently attend to the con- duct of the Sale. To the Second there was a great crowd of people a- ttending the sale. Many of the Officers got into the room with Com- missioners and incommoded them so much that there could not at all times hear what was passing without doors, the greater part of the purchasers were in the street. /s/ ALLEN QUYNN And the said Cause so standing continued until February Court, Seven- teen hundred and ninety two The answers of Nathaniel Ramsey to the Complainants Interrogatories were filed in Court as follows to wit: Major John Davidson against the State. The answer of Nathaniel Ram- sey to the Interrogatories hereto annexed in behalf of the Complain- ant Declareth on his Corporal Oath with respect to the First. The Commissioners were in the house at window apposite and close to which window on the on the outside stood. The Auctioner and the Cryer at a little distance from him with respect to No. 2. The purchasers stood principally out of doors, and were often ver clamorous, yet I appre- hent that either one or all of the Commissioners made it a point to hear that the Auctioneer properly and distinctly declared the number of the lot, the quanity of acres, and the Encumbrances as he was in- structed by the Commission. Feb 4th 1792 /s/ NAT RAMSEY On the 9th day of Febrauary 1792 appeared before me one of the jus- tices of the peace for Cecil County, Nathaniel Ramsey and made oath that the within answers to the Interrogatories to them annexed are strickly true to the best of my knowledge and behalf. /s/ JEREMIAH BAKER. State at the suit of JOHN DAVIDSON. The answer of Nathaniel Ramsey to the Interrogatories hereto answered in the behalf of the State and delivered on his Corporal Oath declareth with respect to the alst. I did attend at the Sale -of Moncacasy Manor as a Commissioner ,, and I recollect that Major Davidson was a purchaser but'do not re- member what lot or lots he purchased. With respect to the 2nd. The CE � terms were that the amount of the purchase should be discharged in 4,'X Specie or depreciation Certificates on certain annual payments. With S c, respect the 3rd, I do not recollect particularly what the incumb- rances were said or declared to be on the lot or lots purchased by the Major or whether any or what conversation was held on the subject. With respect.to the 4th The incumberances a very material Circumstance in the value of the lands sold I apprehend the purchasers were guar- anteed that there were on other Incumberances than those declared at the time of the sale. In so much that had it appeared that there were greater Incumbrances then those set forth on any of the lots be- fore the purchaser had paid his bond I should have thought it my 7 duty to have viewed the sale as void and to have resold them. With respect to the 5th, the usual terms and manner of selling the lots were, in the first place the number of the lot proclaimed and the quantify of land which it contained was declared and the incumber- ance if any were also particularly mentioned, if lives, their num- ber their names and ages, and if for years, the number of years which remained unexpired. The Commissioners took great pains to a - certain the Incumberances but as in many cases that had no certain documents. They may have been mistaken. Those and no other were the Terms on which Major Davidson made his purchases. As to the 6th I do not know of any other matter or thing material for the deft. in this suit.

To the 2nd he says that the terms were to pay in specie or Army Certi- ficates in seven equal payments,the first in 3 months and the re- mainder within six annual payments as well as this Deponent re- collects. To the 3rd, he knows nothing. To the 4th, he knows no- thing. To the 5th, he saith as before that he did not attend that sale, but the usual terms of sale of lots affected by leases in all cases where this deponent attended as Commissioner by himself or with the other Commissioners, or one of them, were these: the num- ber and contents of the lot were made known and also the Incumber- ances of lives or years (as the case was) or far as they were made known to the Commissioners; that is to say, if the lease had been granted for three lives and it was known that one was in existance another not and a third doubtful, it was so declared, and the pur- chaser ran the risque, and the Deponent never was privy to a sale made conditionally, that if a life where it was doubtful if it was in evidence should afterwards appear, the sale should be void, that he recollected. To the sixth, he says he knows nothing further. /s/G. Duvall. To the Complainants Interrogatories this Deponent answers to the first that not being present, he knows nothing.

MARTIN for the State ORDER THIS CAUSE standing ready for hearing and being submitted to the Chancellor without Argument, the bill, answer, depositions, proof and other proceedings were read, and carefully considered. This is an application for relief against a purchase of land from the State and the prayer of the Complainent is either to discharge the Contract, or to make allowance on account of there being an incumber- ance or fee simple in the land sold instead of one life which was un- derstood by both parties, to be in existence at the time of the sale; and it appears that the sum of Seven hundred and fifty four pounds, eighteen shillings and ten pence out of the sum of Thirteen Hundred pounds hath been paid by the complainant. In the opinion of a Chancellor, on a view of the Calculations in Europe used for ascertaining the probable duration of life, and the value of Estates encumbered with a lease for one or more lives, and on consideration of the probibility or chance in this case, that all the three lives for which the lease was given, were expired at the' time of the sale; the complainant of account of Deterioration ought to be allowed the balance stated to be due the State; provided thtT sale be deemed valid; but the Chancellor considers the existence of two lives instead of one as a Circumstance sufficient of Viliate the Contract agreeably to the principles `laid down in the Civil Law and the decisions in equity, which appear to be founded on that law. How- ever as it evidently would be Advantagious to the State, that the land purchased by the Complainant, be conveyed to him in Consideration of what he hath already paid the Chancellor thinks proper to give the Complainent his election either to set the contract wholly aside or accept a Conveyance as aforesaid. It is thereupon this fifth day of March Seventeen hundred and Ninety two by the Chancellor and their Authority of this Court Adjudged and Ordered and Decreed that the Injunction heretofore in this Cause issued be perpetual; and that the bond of the Complainant be given up and cancelled; and that the Com- plainant be entitled to a restitution of the money, certificates or other thing received by the State from the Complainant on account of the purchase in the Bill or Petition and Answer mentioned, or of the value thereof with interest from this time.But it isfurther Adjudged Ordered and decreed that in case the Complainant JOHN DAVIDSON shall within two months from the date hereof, file in this Court his Elect- ion in writing to accept a Conveyence of the land afor6said instead of -a restitution of that which he hath paid for the same he shall be entitled to a conveyence for the same in the manner of law prescribed.

The Boones came back, Daniel and Rebecca, Sarah, Squire and all their kin. There were crackling fires on hearths that had long been cold, and children played in the dooryards and the men went to work clearing away the wild growth in their deserted fields. But the Indian wars had lasted a long time and the frontier still flared with unrest, the fragile social order tearing apart. Now in every border settlement there were those without heart for the slogging, sweaty work of pioneering; and in the troubled times their baser instincts prevailed. Along the Yadkin, even after the war was over, there were some who continued their "vicious habits and became pests to society." Bands of desperadoes, hidden away in strongholds in the hills, raided farms and robbed storekeepers. Local government, chaotic and sometimes itself corrupt, seemed incapable of protecting the settlers from even the most outrageous crimes. Two men kidnapped the daughter of a farm family and the father was forced to appeal to his neighbors for help; Daniel Boone led the group that rescued her. Not long after a man named Cornelius Howa A. a respected member of the community, was found to be in league with a ring of freebooters that had been preying on the settlers for two years. A neighbor had chanced on a treasure of stolen tools and faun implements in his barn. Boone was badly shaken. Howard was married to Rebecca's sister vt be himself had been bunting with the manl But when an angry �,;:tlnty Pt�l NUgt�'1 ,;,ocks`�11e, } ..K...., �.. 7 iiVax".'iT.'T. T , a - _ ti 42 / NORTH CAROLINA crowd came together for the purpose of hav ging Howard from his own rafter, Boone persuaded them otherwise. T ey would make the culprit lead them to the gang's hideout, he said; per..ps they could recover more of their lost property. Soon Boone was bound ato the hills at the head of a party of seventy, Howard unhappily show the way. At the cleverly masked hideout, more than twentymiles om the settlements, they surprised the thieves and quickly overpowers , them. They found heaps of faun equipment, dry goods, log chains and l; .ischold articles; in a nearby meadow were dozens of rustled horses and c..ttle. Tl,e ringleader's wife, a tornado of a v iman named Owens, turned violent with rage when she realized that it was Howard who had given them away. She went for a concealed pistol c.nd would have killed him on the spot if someone hadn't wrenched it aw:y from her. She cursed and called Howard a Judas, vowing vengeance. All the gang members were taken to rrison in Salisbury and soon condemned to the gallows. But Howard, whc. had helped the settlers break the ring, and Mrs. Owens, who was, after s 1, a woman, were eventually freed. And one day while "Judas" Howard, s he came to be known, was leading his horse across a stream, he was , lot dead from the bordering woods. No one ever doubted who dispatch, him. The time of trouble dragged on. Ther were other gangs and, even worse, there were magistrates whose notions of justice were plastic enough to accommodate the worst criminal if sufi Gent money changed hands. Unscrupulous sheriffs and land agents op -essed the unlettered back- woodsmen with claims that their deeds ere flawed. Greedy justices imposed exorbitant fees: one dollar to reco 3 a deed; fifteen dollars for a marriage license. In the circumstances, mr:iy a respected Yadkin family was founded by a couple that simply too each other for better or for worse and let it go at that. In time, agitated bands of citizens call ig themselves Regulators took matters into their own hands. They began )y pursuing horse thieves and looters and trying them in improvised cc arts, whipping some, hanging others. Goaded by the corruption of the st::.rtory government, heady with a sudden sense of their collective power, th y invaded county courthouses, beating unpopular attorneys and judges, >tablishing themselves as the law. For nearly a decade the turmoil of the teguhrtion haunted the border country, threatening civil war, pitting friend against friend and family against family. Not until 1771, when government forces crushed the insurgents in a pitched battle, was the Rei .1ator movement broken. �� o�ntY Public Ub;aN Mocks�"�\e, NC I lY4 .i4 •,•t' fix;, fiy _ 7 _"'-k'4,`4' r"`� • t t; ;•r ,n'�•.��i,E.t,� �� F I 508 VY A30011e Jf Alub named Martha marriedMorgan Brynn.

Jr., and grandsonof Alorgan and iilartha (Strode) Bryan, which is preserved in the Draper Collection of Manuscripts, gives the "Old Stork" of I3ryans, - , (children of :Morgan and Alartha) as follows:-- Joseph, Samuel, Alorgan, Ellender (Airs. Linville); John, Jaynes, and Thomas. (d) Dr. J. D. Bryan, quoted above, says that Alorgan Bryan coutinucd to live in Chester Co., (Ila.) until four or five of his eldest children were born. "About 1728 or '30, A•forgan Bryan, Alexander Ross, and other Friends (Quakers) obtained a grant of 100,000 acres of land on the -Potomac and Opequnn Rivers in the colony of Virginia. Ile (Morgan Bryan) moved to this land and settled near the present site of Winchester about 1730. Here the rest of his children were born. * * * Strode Bryan died about 1747 and was buried at the horny near Martha present site of Winchester, Va. After her death Morgan Bryan sold his interests in Virginia, and in the fall of 1748 moved his family to North Carolina and settled in the Forks of theYadkin River." (a) An early pioneer traveler over the road the Bryans followed front NVin- chester, Va., to the Yadkin country, left this statement:— "People• had told us that this hill was most dangerous, and that we would scarcely be able to cross it, for Morgan Bryan, the first to travel this way, had hicce-meal to the top, and hzad been three months on the journey from the Shanidore (Shenan(loah). i to the Etkin (Yadkin)." (e) i The new home of the Bryans was then a frontier about sixty milts I fr6m the nearest settlement, where they went to buy corn and supplies. The sons all became hunters; all settled in the same neighborhood and had the choice pieces of land in that section, afterward called Bryan's Settlement. This is in what is now Rowan County. Morgan Bryan had been living on the Yadkin about two years, when SquireBoone came from Pennsylvania and settled nearby, thus becoming a neighbor. 1 t was here in Rowan County that Morgan Bryan died in 1763, at the age of 82, and was buried in Mocksville (now Davie) Co. The children of Alorgan Bryan and Martha (Strode) were: -- 1' Jowi)h Bryan Sr., d. abt., )SOS; M. (1) ; and (2) Alec-- (d, it is thought prior to 1805). Of the first wife nothing is known, only that Joseph I3rynn .fr., was her child. When his father moved down on the Yadkin, Joseph Bryan remained at Winchester, Va., where he had married and settled. Later we find he was living about 4 miles from whew. his father was living on the Yadkin. In 1797, he with his brother Samuel, visited Ky., and in 1798, he rented Well's Station in Shelby County from Enoch M. Bane. Ina year or so he and his family, two eons and a son-in-law, bought land on Floyd's Fork, in Shelby County, and settled there.
