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
14. Franklin COOK
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.

Born: Betw 1791-95 in Hawkins Co. TN according to LDS records.
(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
members state Julia was born in Kentucky but LDS records
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.

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.

My Excerpts:
In the name of God, amen. I Josiah Wilson of Prince George County in the776 Daniel McPHERSON
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 madeItem: 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

Children:
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:
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."

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