| 9682 | The 1855 NY State Census shows him living next door to his father and mother, Parmenus & Christina Sprague. C.B. is listed as a farmer, age 24, forn in Cayuuga Co. His wife Elisabeth D. is age 22, born in Cayuga Co. Their baby daughter, as 4 months, is named Frances L. The 1865 NY State census shows C.B. as age 34. His wife Elizabeth is age 32. They have daughters Emma L., age 10 * Clara E. age 6. C.B.'s parents, Parmenus & Christina, are living in the household. The 1875 NY State census shows Cevastian B. Sprage as age 44; his wife Elizabeth is age 42. Their children are Emma L., age 20; Clara E., age 16; & Willie B., age 6. From William G. Sprague, correspondent, note of September 19th, 2006 C. Burton Sprague From: History of Cayuga County, New York By: Elliot G. Storke, Assisted by: Jos. H. Smith Published by: D. Mason & Co., Syracuse, New York, 1879 «b» CEVASTIAN BURTON SPRAGUE «/b» C. BURTON SPRAGUE was born in Ira November 5th, 1830. He is the youngest child of Parmenas and Christina Sprague. His father was born in Saratoga county October 18th, 1781. His father was married three times. His first wife, Rebecca Nobles, was born February 19th, 1787. They married February 14th, 1804. She died December 2d, 1807. By this wife he had three daughters. His second wife, Mary A. Potter, was born July 4th, 1787; married April 30th, 1809. She died October 9th, 1828. By her he had seven children- five girls and two boys. His third wife, Christina, was born November 12th, 1796. They were married December 17th, 1829. She died November 13th, 1873. The subject of this sketch is the result of this union. His father came to this County about the year 1806, and settled on lot 20 in the town of Ira. He purchased 100 acres of land and resided upon it until his death, which occurred June 11th, 1871, at the advanced age of nearly ninety years. C. B. Sprague lived at home with his father until he was seventeen years old; then worked out two years by the month. He attended the district school till he was fourteen, and after that time had no schooling except three terms that he attended in the Academy at Red Creek, Wayne county, when he was twenty years of age. He then taught school two winters. After that he worked land on shares and burned lime. Then he purchased the old homestead of his brother, at that time containing forty-eight acres of land, and in addition to that fifty acres adjoining. He has added from time to time by purchase till now his farm contains 146 acres. He is still residing on that place. October 16th, 1853, he married Miss Elizabeth D. Campbell, daughter of William and Polly Campbell, of the village of Cato. There have been born to them four children, three of whom are living, as follows: Emma L., born January 9th, 1855; Clara E., born January 31st, 1859; and Willie Burt, born February 5th, 1869. In politics Mr. Sprague is a staunch Republican. He is a member of the Baptist church in Ira, was clerk of that church for many years, and for eleven years was the Superintendent of its Sunday school. Mr. Sprague has been successful in life, notwithstanding that for many years he has been afflicted with a partial failure of his eye sight. He is a self-made man, and all that he is or has in this world he owes to his own energy and talents. A view of his beautiful home may be seen on another page of this work. | Sprague, Cevastian Burton (I20228)

| 9683 | The Bible record of Perry Flynt shows Younger T. Flynt born the 4 of November 1837. Will send you a copy of all the Bible records I have along with some other info. The Gurley Herald carried notice of the death of Y.T. Flynt in Feb. 1913, near Fayetteville..."he was a Confederate soldier and enlisted in Mississippi..laid down to rest at the age of 75..survived by wife, six sons, three daughters, two sisters..." Paralee Louvina Denton first married a Captain Willis (Do you have his > full name?), who drowned in the Tennessee River during the Civil War. > Paralee Louvina Denton, b. 12 Apr 1844(1842?), d. 14 Mar 1930 was the > oldest daughter of Hiram King Denton and Phoebe Ables.

Baker With Mothers Day approaching I thought that I would send some information on a maternal line in memory of the mothers of the Flynt family. Perry Flynt son of John and Catherine Flynt married December 29, 1706 (FHL975.664 V25u) Martha Halbert. Martha Halbert was the daughter of John Halbert and Margaret Hampton. John Halbert Sr. born Abt 1741 in Caroline County Virginia was the first child of Joel Halbert Sr. and Elizabeth Francis Jones. John Halbert enlisted March 1, 1777 in the Virginia Regt. and was last on the rolls dated April 6, 1778 at Valley Forge, Pa. He moved to Tennessee possibly about 1811and died about 1820 in Lincoln County Tennessee. Margaret Hampton was the daughter of James Hampton. In James Hampton's will (FHLF#1579656) he not only mentions his daughter Margaret Halbert, but land adjoining Thos. Flynt and witnesses Martin Flynt and Hasten Flynt. Joel Halbert Sr. was son of William Halbert and Mary the widow of Thomas Wood (Essex County Virginia Will Book 6 for Wm. Halbert and Mary Taylor and Deeds and Wills No. 13 for administration of estate of Thomas Wood). William was married before February 10, 1709 and was dead before October 18, 1718. Mary remarried to William Taylor. Joel Halbert Sr.'s wife Francis Jones is reported by Boddie in Historical Families Vol IX pp.193-4 to be the daughter of John Jones and Frances Randolph, however, I have located no proof. Margaret Hampton's father James Hampton is possibly the James Hampton that is the son of John Hampton Jr. and Margaret Wade. John Hampton Jr.'s line goes back through William Hampton into England. [NI0305] Calvin Tarpley Flynt died of a gun shot would in New Orleans during the Civil War. On the 8th of March 1864, his wife Mary Wilson Flynt had given birth to a new son, Named for his father Calvin T. Flynt. The child lived 13 days and died on 21 March 1864. On the 30th of April 1864, Mary age 25, who was living in Hopkinsville, Gonzales County, Texas died leaving two sons Joe Halbert Flynt, age 7 and John M. Flynt, age 4. On the 23rd of May 1864, Calvin Tarpley was killed. Oney Percilla Flynt, sister to Calvin Tarpley, and her husband Dr. Milam Howell of Belmont, Gonzales County, Texas, did not have children and they took the orphan sons and reared them to manhood. [NI0919] This could be Catherine Perry or some other Catherine/Katerine. Catherine's maiden name may have been "Meredith" but that cannot be proven. If one examines the sequence of the naming of John's and Catherine's children, the pattern commonly used in those days would lead to the mother's maiden name of Meredith. [NI0925] Information from: Judith McCann rmccann44@aol.comm NI0303] Will of Perry Flynt In the name of God Amen, I Perry Flynt of the County of Madison and State of Alabama, do make and declare this my last will Testament in manner and form following.

| 9684 | The coach box is said to have belonged to John, the original Boatwright immigrant to America. The box has been passed down through the James Boatwright (b. 1745 - Virginia) family and is now owned by Dan Boatwright. Our ancestor, John Boatwright, Jr. traveled from Suffolk, England to the new world of Virginia in the mid 1600's. John, Jr. signed on as an indentured servant. It must be emphasized that the indentured servants were not slaves, and that at the expiration of their terms there was no barrier, legal, racial, or social to their advancement. The terms of indenture not only took for granted that the servant, upon completing his contract would establish himself as a proprietor, but usually made it obligatory for the master to furnish him with the equipment necessary for his new life. The servants upon completing their contract, were often given fifty acre plots and finally became owners of land. In exchange for his passage to America, young John agreed to work as an indentured servant for three to seven years. This was a very common way of attracting people to the new world: the promise of a bright future, land ownership and freedom, in exchange for three to seven years of hard labor. John's headright was granted to Humphrey Dennis, of Virginia, in 1654, in exchange for the payment of John Jr.'s passage to Virginia. John Boatwright Coach Box Why did young John travel from England to Virginia? England was in turmoil in the late 1640's. The English civil war had just ended. Victorious Puritans would soon behead the King, Charles I. Oliver Cromwell was in the early stages of his protectorate and still battling competitors for supremacy among their Puritan comrades. As the Puritan government became established, Englishmen who supported the monarchy found that England was no longer a safe haven for them. Not only might they lose their financial wealth, some were in danger of losing their heads if they remained in England. The Stepney docks must have been frantically busy as entire families and their retainers sought passage out of England. Was it, perhaps, imperative that John Jr. leave the country at this time? Was John Jr. or his parents so closely associated with the Royalist cause that he had to flee for his safety? Or was John simply looking for a better life, the chance to own land and prosper? We will most likely never know the cause of John's immigration to Virginia as an indentured servant. John 1631 Gloucester, VA 1654 Immigrated, transportation paid by Humphry Dennis. (Early VA Immigrants 1622- 66, by Greer). John 1631 Gloucester, VA 1654 He was indentured to Humphrey Dennis of Gloucester Co in 1654. His head right for 50 Acres on South side of Kings Creek, near Poropotank, Gloucester Co, registered 7-6-1654 at Richmond Land Office, Henrico Co VA (Boatright Research Notes by Norman Hurd Ricker, Jr. - Virginia Boatwrights). The Gloucester County court minute books (book 3, page 322, dated July 6, 1654) record 200 acres granted to Humphrey Dennis, on the south side of Kings Creek, near Poropotank. Headrights for Mary Smith, Thomas Bourne, Thomas Thraile and John Boatwright. These same 200 acres were re-granted as head rights to John Guthrie, noted in the record that the land was "Granted to Humphrey Dennis 1654, deserted". Humphrey Dennis traveled to Virginia as an indentured servant, his head right recorded in 1639 by George Minifye, Esquire, on the north side of the Charles (York) River, beginning at the creek upon the west side of the Indian Fields, opposite Queens Creek and down the river to Timberneck Creek. Kings Creek, Timberneck Creek, Queens Creek and the Poropotank river exist today. The Poropotank river forms the border between Gloucester County and what was then New Kent County (today King & Queen County). The Poropotank river feeds into the York River. One of only two records of John Jr. in Virginia is the recording of the land granted to Humphrey Dennis for John's headright. That land was located near the Poropotank River, on what is today the border of Gloucester and King & Queen Counties. At the time John arrived in Virginia, both Gloucester and King & Queen Counties were part of York County. John most likely farmed tobacco and would have moved west, in search of land. John Jr. and his son, John III, are recorded in the 1704 Virginia Quit Rent Rolls. John Jr. is indicated as owning 250 acres of land in New Kent County. John III is recorded as being born in 1680, a resident of New Kent County, a member of the St. Peter & Paul parishes, paying tax or quit rent on 250 acres of land. St. Peter's parish is located in New Kent County. St. Paul's parish is located in what was then New Kent County but today is Hanover County, formed in 1720 from a portion of New Kent County. It would appear by these records that John Jr. settled in what was originally York County but became New Kent County and eventually Hanover County. Because of the burning of the New Kent and Hanover court house records, many valuable records including land purchases, birth and death records, to further substantiate John Jr. or John III's lives, have been lost. | Boatwright, John Jr (I1908)

| 9685 | The English surname BOATWRIGHT, and its variants BOATRIGHT and BOTWRIGHT, is of occupational origin, descriptive of the trade or profession pursued by the initial bearer of this surname. The name is derived from the Old English word "bat" meaning boat, and "wyrhta" meaning wright, and thus, the original bearer would have been a boat builder or ship's carpenter. The earliest reference to this surname dates back to the fifteenth century where one John Botwright is recorded as living in Suffolk County, England in 1469. In 1524 one John Botewrighte is listed in the "Subsidy Rolls" of Suffolk. The genealogical record for John Boatwright and descendents assumes that all of the various branches of the Boat(w)right family in America descended from John Boatwright. This may very well not be the case. Many of the early records of Boatwrights in Virginia have been lost to fire. DNA testing can provide an answer as to the relation of the various Boatwright family branches. A Brief History of our Boat(w)right Family in America Our ancestor, John Boatwright, traveled from Suffolk, England to the new world of Virginia in the mid 1600's. John signed on as an indentured servant. It must be emphasized that the indentured servants were not slaves, and that at the expiration of their terms there was no barrier, legal, racial, or social to their advancement. The terms of indenture not only took for granted that the servant, upon completing his contract would establish himself as a proprietor, but usually made it obligatory for the master to furnish him with the equipment necessary for his new life.

This was a very common way of attracting people to the new world: the promise of a bright future, land ownership and freedom, in exchange for three to seven years of hard labor. John's headright was granted to Humphrey Dennis, of Virginia, in 1654, in exchange for the payment of John's passage to Virginia. Why did young John travel from England to Virginia? England was in turmoil in the late 1640's. The English civil war had just ended. Victorious Puritans would soon behead the King, Charles I. Oliver Cromwell was in the early stages of his protectorate and still battling competitors for supremacy among their Puritan comrades. As the Puritan government became established, Englishmen who supported the monarchy found that England was no longer a safe haven for them. Not only might they lose their financial wealth, some were in danger of losing their heads if they remained in England. The Stepney docks must have been frantically busy as entire families and their retainers sought passage out of England. Was it, perhaps, imperative that John leave the country at this time? Was John or his parents so closely associated with the Royalist cause that he had to flee for his safety? Or was John simply looking for a better life, the chance to own land and prosper? We will most likely never know the cause of John's immigration to Virginia as an indentured servant. The Boatwright family established themselves in Virginia, settling in the county of New Kent and a portion of New Kent that became Hanover County in 1720. In 1714 William Byrd argued before the Colonial Board that the cost of the government in Virginia, which had become a burden on the King, could be defrayed by selling the land outright at 5 shillings for 50 acres. This produced a profound effect on the colony and by 1755 almost all of present Virginia had been claimed, mostly by descendants of the early colonists. Persons arriving in years after that were obligated to purchase land from the conglomerate landholders and speculators at the market rate. With land in Virginia at a premium, branches of Boatwright family migrated west in Virginia, to the counties of Cumberland and then Buckingham. Other branches of the family migrated to North Carolina and South Carolina during the second half of the 1700s. In the early 1800s branches of the family moved westward to Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois and Ohio. In the south, branches of the family moved to Georgia, Florida, Alabama and Mississippi. In the 1830s and 1840s, migration to Arkansas and Missouri occurred. The migration of Boatwrights mirrored the migration within America in general, as families moved to undeveloped land, looking for better farming conditions and better economic opportunities. For the first 200 years of our family in America, we were farmers. As the country began to industrialize during the 1850s and beyond, many of our family left the farms and immigrated to the cities of America. | Boatwright, John Sr (I1909)

| 9686 | The following information about John McEver was adapted from information received from Earl Strebeck and Truman McEver. Most came from a journal of John McEver Forbes, which he wrote in 1887 at the age of 87. It later (1934) appeared in the Anniston Times, Anniston, Alabama. John Forbes was the son of Arthur and Catherine McEver Forbes. Catherine was the daughter of John McEver. John was born December 1739. He lived in Pennsylvania during the Colonial days, and there, about 1764, he married Margaret Collins, an Irish girl, daughter of John and Catherine Collins of the same state. During the American Revolution, John served under General George Washington. In Pennsylvania, he owned a farm, which was well improved with all the necessary out buildings to sustain itself. His dwelling was built of limestone over a large limestone spring, having a basement that contained a kitchen and dining room. Being a trusting soul, John stood account for a man in the amount of 500 pounds sterling and unfortunately, was left to pay the debt, To cover the amount, he was forced to sell his farm. After selling his property and paying the debt, John and his family moved south and settled in Georgia. John and Margaret had. a large family. Andrew was born 1768, John, Jr. in 1771, Brice in 1774, James in 1776, Robert Collins McEver in 1777, Samuel in 1778, William in 1780, Mary Margaret in 1783, Isaac and Thomas M. between 1783 and 1789, Catherine in 1789, and Joseph in 1790. The family was in Jackson County Georgia in 1787. In Georgia, John McEver bought a tract of land in Jackson County on the Mulberry Fork- of the Oconee River, adjoining the then Cherokee Nation, ten miles from Hog Mountain. He began farming again and paid for the land. with tobacco. He also built a good frame house with corner posts twelve inches square. About 1807 or 1808, John road horseback top the Louisiana Territory where he purchased 2 shares of the Mississippi Land Company (Louisiana Purchase, 1803). He paid 2,000 pounds for 15,000 acres (two or three leagues) of land He placed a man in charge of his purchase until he could return to Georgia, dispose of his property, and move his family to the Louisiana Territory. On his way home, he put up for a night with a man living on the Tennessee River in the Cherokee Nation. That night his mare was stolen. Being subject to rheumatism, he couldn't walk, so he wrote to one of his sons telling him to meet him 30 or 40 miles up the Tennessee River at a designated point with a horse. Also, in his letter to his son, John gave instructions that if he were not at this meeting place agreed upon, then the son was to come down the river to the man's house where he had lodged and from where his horse was stolen. He further wrote that he had bought land for a home for every grandchild that he might have. After writing his letter to his son, John bought a canoe and started up the river to meet his son. When John's son reached the meeting place agreed upon, he could not fine his father. He went further down the river until he reached the man's house where John had stayed and from whom John has purchased the canoe. There, he inquired about his father. The man told him his father had left in the canoe loaded with his saddle bags and other possessions. Three days later the same canoe came floating back down the river smeared with blood and empty! It was thought that all was lost, John, his papers identifying his land purchase and the man's name that he had left in charge of his purchase. With a sad heart, the son started home. After riding about 20 miles, he thought he heard a horse neigh. He explored and behold a short distance from the road was his father's mare, tied to a tree. He untied the horse and she followed his home, but John's body and his precious papers were never found. Margaret Collins McEver, John's widow, continued to live in Jackson County Georgia, and I assume. she died there and is buried there. | McEver, John Sr (I9516)

| 9690 | The Penn Farm Agricultural History Center of Texas, also known as Cedar Hill State Park, are the lands owned originally by John Wesley Penn in the middle of the 1850’s. The Penn farmstead overlooks Mountain Creek Valley in southwest Dallas County just west of Cedar Mountains. The rich black-land soils and the proximity of water, woodlands, and prairies drew settlers to this area in the 1850’s. John Wesley Penn bought property here in 1859 and built the first structures. Penn family members lived on the property and operated their stock farm until 1970. Many of the original buildings are still standing at the end of the twentieth century. The old Penn complex has been developed as a historical setting for farm-related activities associated with a small stock farm of rural Dallas County. The complex serves as an educational resource for area schools and as a setting for demonstrations, special events and displays associated with a small family farmstead in this part of north central Texas. | Penn, John Wesley (I29786)

| 9691 | The second son of Albert the Tall, Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg, Albert was a boy when his father died in 1279. He was first under guardianship of his uncle, Conrad, Prince-Bishop of Verden, and then of his elder brother, Henry I, Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg. In 1286 the three brothers divided their father's Principality of Wolfenbüttel; Albert received the areas around Göttingen, Minden, Northeim, Calenberg, and Hanover. He made Göttingen his residence, thus Principality of Göttingen. In 1292, the third brother, William, died childless, and Albert and Henry, who had received the Principality of Grubenhagen, quarrelled about William's share, the remaining belittled areas around Brunswick and Wolfenbüttel; Albert finally prevailed. | Albert, Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg II (I37080)

| 9692 | The son of George Gordon, 5th Earl of Huntly, and of Anne, daughter of James Hamilton, 2nd Earl of Arran and Duke of Châtellerault,[1] he was educated in France as a Roman Catholic. He took part in the plot which led to the execution of James Douglas, 4th Earl of Morton in 1581 and in the conspiracy which saved King James VI from the Ruthven raiders in 1583. In 1588 he signed the Presbyterian confession of faith, but continued to engage in plots for the Spanish invasion of Scotland. On 28 November he was appointed captain of the guard, and while carrying out his duties at Holyrood his treasonable correspondence was discovered. King James, however, finding the Roman Catholic lords useful as a foil to the tyranny of the Kirk, was at this time seeking Spanish aid in case Queen Elizabeth I tried to challenge his right to the English throne; Huntly, always one of his favourites, was pardoned. Subsequently in April 1589, Huntly raised a rebellion in the north, but was obliged to surrender, and after a short imprisonment in Borthwick Castle was again freed. He then involved himself in a private war with the Grants and the Mackintoshes, who were assisted by the Earls of Atholl and Moray; and on 8 February 1592 he set fire to Moray's castle of Donibristle in Fife, and stabbed the earl to death with his own hand. This outrage, which originated the ballad The Bonnie Earl of Moray, brought retribution on Huntly; his enemies ravaged his lands. In December the "Spanish Blanks" were intercepted (see Francis Hay, 9th Earl of Erroll), two of which bore Huntly's signature, and a charge of treason was again brought against him, while on 25 September 1593 he was excommunicated. James treated him and the other rebel lords with great leniency. On 26 November they were freed from the charge of treason, being ordered at the same time, however, to renounce their Catholic faith or leave the kingdom. On their refusal to comply they were attainted. Huntly then joined Erroll and Francis Stewart-Hepburn, 5th Earl of Bothwell, in a conspiracy to imprison the king, and they defeated the royal forces under Argyll in the Battle of Glenlivet on 3 October 1594, Huntly especially distinguishing himself. His victory gained no real advantage; his castle of Strathbogie was blown up by James, and Huntly left Scotland in about March 1595. He returned secretly soon afterwards, and his presence in Scotland was at first tolerated by James; but owing to the hostile feeling aroused, and the "No Popery" riot in Edinburgh, the king demanded that he should abjure Romanism or go into permanent banishment. He submitted to the Kirk in June 1597, and was restored to his estates in December. On 7 April 1599, he was created a marquess, and on 9 July, together with Lennox, appointed lieutenant of the north. He was treated with great favour by the king and was reconciled with Murray and Argyll. The Kirk still doubted the genuineness of his abjuration and, on 10 December 1606, he was confined to Aberdeen; on 19 March 1607 he was summoned before the privy council. Huntly thereupon went to England and appealed to James in person. He was excommunicated in 1608, and imprisoned in Stirling Castle till 10 December 1610, when he signed again the confession of faith. Accused of Romanist intrigues in 1616, he was ordered once more to subscribe the confession, which this time he refused to do; imprisoned at Edinburgh, he was set free by James's order on 18 June, and having joined the court in London was absolved from excommunication by Abbot, archbishop of Canterbury; this absolution, after a further subscription to the confession by Huntly, was confirmed by the Kirk. At the accession of Charles I Huntly lost much of his influence at court. He was deprived in 1630 of his heritable sheriffships of Aberdeen and Inverness. The same year a feud broke out between the Crichtons and Gordons, in the course of which Huntly's second son, Lord Melgum, was burnt to death either by treachery or by accident, while being entertained in the house of James Crichton of Frendraught. For the ravaging of the lands of the Crichtons Huntly was held responsible, and having been summoned before the privy council in 1635 he was imprisoned in Edinburgh Castle from December till June 1636. He left his confinement with shattered health, and died at Dundee while on his journey to Strathbogie on 13 June 1636, after declaring himself a Roman Catholic. | Gordon, 6th Earl of Huntly George (I36965)

As no such father and son pair (both named Thomas) existed in the family of Ambrose Meador, it must certainly have been that Thomas Meads who died in 1655 and his son Thomas. The further descent of this 450 acre tract (Rappahannock Co Deed Book 5, p. 261 and Deed Book 6, p. 98) through John Meador is very clear. This grant adjoined the grant of Henry Awbrey on Hoskins Creek, and particularly the portion given by Henry to his son Richard Awbrey. It is most logical that Thomas Meador, Orphan, and Thomas Meador the Younger were the same, and that Sarah Meador, the widow of Thomas Meador the Younger, who made provision for her son 'John Meador of Hoskins Creek,' was the wife of Henry Awbrey and the mother of Richard Awbrey. Thus the conclusion is virtually inescapable that Sarah was the mother of both John Meador and Richard Awbrey, making them half-brothers. This would explain why Richard called John Meador his 'brother' in his will | Meador, Thomas Jr (I9758)
