My Direct Line

Updated 31 August, 2002

As you go through this list of names (the quickest way I could get it up and viewable) remember that I use the Ahnentafel Numbering system. That system is very simple - on my ancestral chart I would be number one (1)...my father would be number two (2)...my mother would be number three (3)...each ancestor after that is a multiple of two - for instance, my father's father (my paternal grandfather) would be number four (4), his wife (my paternal grandmother) would be number five (5), my maternal grandfather would be number six (6), my maternal grandmother would be number seven (7), and so on.  Easy (and believe me when I say I've come across some that have made my brain turn to mush.)!  Also, I go more in depth on the Lorren names appearing below on the main "Lorren" page.  Personal information on my living family members has been withheld - email me privately if you think it is something you wish to discuss.  I owe a tremendous debt to Tom Allred for his research and generous sharing of my Hall/Evans line and for uniting me with my Hall family.  I don't have all my sources up as I'm still in the process (I know, I'm slow) of uploading my information in the correct order (and correcting my mistakes because of my haste).  Should you need a source, please email me, give me a few days to go through a ton of documents and I'll gladly give it to you.  A few of the links available to you on this, and other pages, are external, off site links, and you will have to use your browser's "BACK" button to return to my site.  These are generally very useful and informative links that I encourage you to follow.  You will also find that photographs take forever to load and for that I apologize.  I did not scan the photos and had no control over that.  Perhaps in the future I can rescan photographs and give you a faster download time, but until then, please bear with me.

Notes:  Samuel (Sammy) and Nancy (Nannie) belonged to the Church of Christ in Borden Springs, Alabama.  Sammy owned a 161 acres in Borden Springs at one time; he also owned other acreage in that area, all long since been sold out of the family.  There in Borden Springs, he built a home for his bride.  This home was
the old "Lorren" house (burned).  During his lifetime, Sammy was a member of a Masonic Lodge (and at least one of his daughters, Aunt Dandy [I believe], was a member of the Eastern Star).  I have yet to figure out which Lodge he belonged to...and if you know, please let me know.   He obtained the highest level of the Order.  Sammy was diagnosed with a rare form of eye cancer that eventually spread throughout his body.  He made several trips to the Mayo Clinic for treatment.  My mother Sue also had this form of eye cancer [the name fails me now but I will update this later] and was treated for it in Houston, Texas...her's was benign.  Sadly, Sammy's cancer spread and eventually killed him.  My mother relates that one of the last times she remembers seeing her grandfather was when Sammy returned home from the Mayo Clinic.  Mother went with her family to meet Sammy at the old Borden Springs (Alabama) train depot.  Mother said they lifted Sammy off the train on a stretcher.  His eyes and head were swathed in bandages and he was in tremendous pain.  Later, as an adult, she learned that the doctors at the Mayo Clinic had sent Sammy home to die.  "Doc" HAMILTON (killed in a car wreck in the '50s) was the Lorren family doctor and had been for many years.  He treated Sammy with heavy doses of morphine until Sammy's passing on November 12, 1940.

               (This is my brick wall and I will go in to family stories in another
                 area and my theories about this mysterious John Lorren)
       Died: Believed to have died when his children were in their teens.
97.  Married:  Julia Ann McPHERSON abt. 1815 in Roane, Tennessee.
       Born:  Betw. 1794-1797 in Hawkins Co., TN (note: some family

                  state TN)
       Died:  1829
       Children:
                48     George A. LORREN

More Notes and my theory: Family stories state John was a British soldier of Irish descent who came from Ireland to the present site of the City of Chicago, Illinois where he made entry of a grant of land at the same time his future wife's (Julia Ann McPherson) brother Elijah Daniel McPherson did.  The two men apparently knew each other.  I have verified that this land grant existed through a distant Lorren relative who has a copy of it...unfortunately, this person would not share information.  Elijah Daniel McPherson (Julia's older brother) moved in 1829 or 1830 from Roane or Rhea County, Tennessee to Buck Creek section of Carroll County, Georgia about the same time John and Ann moved from the same Tennessee counties to the vicinity of later Oak Level, Alabama, then in Benton, later Calhoun County, now Cleburne County, Alabama which adjoins Carroll County, Georgia and these two families exchanged visits.  John and Julia Ann (McPherson)'s son George Lorren, made a visit to his uncle Elijah, as reported by Elijah, in 1870 at Oak Level.  George's brother John left Alabama shortly after the death of his parents and was not heard from again.  There seems to be no explanation for George and John's sister Jerusha Lorren living in the family of her cousin, Daniel McPherson, other than that she was the orphan niece of Daniel's father, Capt. George McPherson, older brother of Jerusha's mother Julia Ann (McPherson) Lorren.

(Research Note: On June 11, 1792, a territorial ordinance created Knox and Jefferson counties from Greene and Hawkins counties.  In 1796, Tennessee became a State.  In 1801, Knox County was partitioned to create Roane and Anderson Counties.)

Other researchers state that John married twice - (1) Mary Sharp (Sharppe) and (2) Sarah Winfield listing Benjamin's mother as Sarah and not Mary.  I have chosen to use (without documentation) Mary as my ancestor based on a letter to Patricia Smith from Joan Sellers states, "The Will of John Parks was dated 7 Feb 1787 and probated Jan. 1793 in Wilkes County, NC records.  From land records, John and wife "Mary" (emphasis mine) executed their last transaction on 3 Oct 1768 and then moved to NC."  This would mean that John and Mary were married in 1746 when Benjamin was born.   John mentions his children in his Will but a wife is not mentioned which makes one suppose that both Mary and Sarah predeceased John.  You may wish to contact Patricia Smith at SmithGen@worldnet.att.net for more information regarding the Parks line.

                Reads:  William Magruder Selby was born in Prince George's
                              County, Maryland, circa 1709, the only child of William
                              and Sarah (Magruder) Selby. He died in Prince Goerge's
                              County shortly before 21 Jan 1783/84 when his will was
                              probated.

He married circa 1734 Martha Wilson, born in Prince
George's County, Maryland circa 1713, daughter of
Major Josiah and Martha (Linghan) Wilson. Josiah
Wilson's will, dated 11 Nov 1717, devised 206 acres
of Indian Gyants Sepulcher to daughter Martha,
then aged 5 years; Martha's guardian by 28 Aug
1728 was Elizabeth Wilson, her sister-in-law and
wife of Lingan Wilson. William Magruder Selby was
later listed on the Prince George's Debt Books
for this land.

p. 77: In the 1776 Census of UpperMarlborough
Hundred, William is listed as age 67 years, his wife
Martha was 63; a daughter age 16.

p. 77-78: The Widow Martha moved to Adair County,
KY, with some of her children, and on 8 Mar 1860
executed two deeds. For 250 Pounds she sold to
her son-in-law Nicolas Naylor Negro women Flora
and Jane and their increase "until the demand is
made of such slaves, they being in the possession
of William Wilson Selby"

Calling herself Martha Selby, "widow of William
Magruder Selby," she also appointed Naylor her
attorney to recover any property belonging to her
from the estate of William Wilson Selby (who had
died in 1800)...

Whether Thomas married Sarah "Miller" or Sarah "Linchfield is open to question. Apparently this is a problem several researchers have had and some have worked around it by omitting the wife.  There appears to be no documentation beyond this point for the wife's family regardless of the surname.  It is possible that Sara Linchfield and Sarah Miller is the same person and a weak support of this is that a grandson is named "Linchfield" Parks.  I welcome any  documentation for Sarah.

Will of (Maj) Josiah Wilson 11 Nov 1717
My  Excerpts:

In the name of God, amen. I Josiah Wilson  of Prince George County in the
Province of Maryland Gent., being sick and weak in body but of sound and
perfect mind and memory, praise be God, and calling to mind the certainty of
death and the uncertainty of the time when I do make this my last will and
testiment, revoking and annuling all former wills by me heretofore made

Item: I give and bequeath unto my son Lingan Wilson all that tract of land
called Lingen's Adventure lying in Baltimore County on the south side of
Gunpowder containing 500 acres and also a tract of land called Backlingen in
the county aforesaid 450 acres to him and his heirs forever.

Item: I give and bequeath to my loving daughter Martha Wilson a tract of land
lying in Charles County called and known by the name of Indian Giant
Sepulchre containing 206 acres more or less which I formerly purchased of
Walter Soams and also all my wife's wearing apparel except one black furbelow
scarf which I give to Mrs. Catherine Boteler, also I give and bequeath to my
said daughter all my four gold rings and one silver tankard, one large silver
salver to her and her heirs forever. (Note:  apparently the wife has died by
Nov. of 1717 when Josiah makes his will; his wording leads one to believe
that his wife has not been dead very long as he still has her wearing apparel)

Item: I give and bequeath to my six children, Josiah, Lingen, James, Joseph.
Joshua, Martha, all my Negroes with their issue to be equally divided between
them as they shall reach the age of 16 years, the first division to be made
when my son Lingen comes to the age of 16 years, my said son Josiah to have
the first choice after the division is made....

I hereby desire the justices of Prince George County Court to see an equal
division is made as aforesaid together with Mr. Edward Boteler and Mr. Thomas
Lingen in Calvert County to assist at the division aforesaid.  Also my will is that
if either of my five sons, Josaih, Lingen, James, Joseph and Joshua, shall happen
to die before they legally attain the age of 18 years that then that part of the
division of my estate to be equally divided amongst all the surviving children
by the then justices of Prince George County and Mr. Edward Boteler and
Mr. Thomas Lingen (brother-in-law? - most likely because we have
the wife's father as George), and my will further that my daughter Martha
may have the disposing of her estate at the age of 16 years and all my
household goods of what nature or kind whatsoever to be equally divided as
aforesaid and that all goods, wares and merchandise, both wet and dry,
be appraised and applied to the use of the estate as aforesaid and also
that my executor hereafter named to be . . . maintain my children at school
and provide a competent support for them till they lawfully assume the
age aforesaid, and that all and singular the . . . Negroes hereby bequeathed
be kept on the . . . plantation by my already settled thereto work and their
. . . crop to be disposed of toward the support and maintenance of my
children till they lawfully come of age as aforesaid and that my hereunto
Walter Thompson, John Hoskins, John Smith, Iziah Bennett and
George Hobbe be kept on as disposed by my executor hereafter
named for their own proper use and benefit till the said shall come
free from their time of servitude."

              390 John KINCHELOE, Jr.

John Kincheloe, Sr. inherited the Richmond County land from his father, Cornelius.  John sold 10 acres to William Smyth (Smith) on April 21, 1722, and he sold the remaining 90 acres to Robert Smyth (Smith on June 2, 1724, for 6,000 pounds of "good and weighty tobacco" packed in casks.  John then acquired hundreds of acres of land in Stafford County.  This land became part of Prince William County, just west of what is now Washington, D.C.  The land was on both sides of Bull Run, along Occuquan Creek and Nebasco Creek in Hamilton Parish.  In 1737, he bought land on Powell's Run and more land on Bull Run and in Hamilton Parish. John was born around 1700 in North Farnham Parish and served as warden of Truro Parish, Prince William County, 1732-1736 and Vestryman (A committee of members elected to administer the temporal affairs of a parish) in his church from 1736-1746.  John signed his will on March 16, 1746 and died later that month in Prince William County.  He was married to Elizabeth (maiden name unknown) and they had eleven children.  According to the book Kincheloe McPherson and Related Families by McPherson, 1951  (which I have), John was married to Elizabeth Canterbury.  However, John W. Kincheloe, III, in his book  "This Is Where He Walked...." Kincheloe, 1995,  states  that he could find no Richmond County documents to support the Canterbury-Kincheloe connection stating:

Given Kincheloe family traditions regarding the name "Canterbury", ....So, to quote Geoffrey Chaucer, "Here beginneth the Book of the Tales of Canterbury...."

Investigation to confirm a Kincheloe connection with the Canterbury family revealed to this researcher a surprising fact.  In every Richmond County document offered in McPherson's book as evidence for linking the two families, the name "John Kincheloe" was substituted for another name appearing in the actual document.  The true name appearing in these records is "John Canterbury."  This man, whose surname is clearly written in these documents as "Canterbury," appears in no way to have been related to the Kincheloe family.  His mother was Ruth Canterbury.  His wife Elizabeth was the daughter of William Smith (see Richmond County Deed Book 8, p. 284, and Richmond County Wills, for Joan Frith Williams Wills L(l)oyd dated 8 Jan. 1703/2 Feb. 1703/4).  It is something of a puzzle how this error was made.

At least two additional pieces of evidence have been offered in support of a Canterbury family connection with the Kincheloes, but in the absence of any supporting Richmond County documents, neither is strong evidence for a definite Canterbury family link.  Here is that evidence, however:

1) According to McPherson (p. 321), a South Carolina record from 1810 exists which mentions "John and Elizabeth C. Kincheloe. "Several facts leave the present author skeptical that this is a strong argument for a link to the Canterbury family.  First of all, the presence of the letter "C" is not sufficient evidence, by itself, to argue for a Canterbury family connection.  Secondly, the record cited is a power-of-attorney document signed by the husband of John and Elizabeth Kincheloe's eight child, Nancy Ann.  This document was created when Nancy Ann was at the least in her 75th year.  She did not sign the document.  (Elizabeth, her mother, the one whose name is in question, had been dead for 35 years.  Nancy's husband, born in 1734, was 76 years of age at the time the document was put to paper.  Since the document regards power-of-attorney, matters of competency may have been involved.  We cannot know.  Acknowledging all of this, however, the validity of the evidence in this South Carolina document created for an in-law, involving no immediate Kincheloe kin directly, and entered into record nearly a hundred years after Elizabeth left behind her maiden name, may be questioned.  But the greatest problem with this evidence is that in the early 1700's the only records of an "Elizabeth Canterbury" in Richmond County plainly show that she was the wife of John Canterbury, and this was the case at the same time John Kincheloe and his own wife Elizabeth were having children!  It appears that somewhere along the line, an early family researcher confused these two John's and Elizabeth's.

2)  The remaining piece of evidence to support the claim of a Kincheloe-Canterbury connection comes from the fact that Daniel Kincheloe, the third child of John and Elizabeth Kincheloe, named his homestead "Canterbury."  While this indicates honor for the name "Canterbury," it does not necessarily imply a family connection.  This evidence, standing alone as indeed it does, appears simply and most obviously to make the grown son of John Kincheloe a pious church member.  Canterbury Cathedral was and is, of course, one of the most important religious centers for the Church of England.  During the years we are considering, the Church of England was the Church of Virginia.  That John Kincheloe was a Vestryman in his church from 1736 until he died in 1746, is a fact to be noted in this connection.

To conclude, proof for a longstanding Canterbury-Kincheloe kinship may exist, but as of this writing it is the author's opinion that a strong case has not been made.... The primary argument against a Canterbury link is a simple one: contrary to what certain researchers have claimed, there are no Richmond County documents whatsoever which support this claim."
