In 1803, Seth and Elizabeth Caldwell sold their 365 acres to three different individuals, a portion of that land was sold to John Grant. The deed states the location of the land as being near Buckeye mountain, on the Bear Springs, next to the survey for John Alsup. So again, we have evidence for the close physical proximity for these two families.

John Farrar, living near Tuckahoe Creek, was paid for Keeping William Alsup for a year.
18 Jan 1747 John Farrar paid for keeping William Alsup for four months, and had buried him at that time.
If William had a large family, why didn't any of his
purported children care for him in his dying years?
If William was born in 1680 or maybe 1670, his age at death
was either 67, or maybe 77.

This
is where it is confusing. Benjamin was now a ward of the people. This may be
representing the
original
purchase on Mechumps Creek. However, it looks like he could not work the land.

I believe this Thomas Alsup was a son of
Benjamin & Susannah. The reason is because, Thomas, the son of William
would have been in his late teens or early 20’s. A man with credit would
most likely be closer to 30.

LAND PATENT: John Ragland, 1030 acres on Mechums Creek in Hanover County
,
adjoining among others the lands of John Joiner, George Vaughan, Mary Harris,

William Elmore, David Haynes, and Thomas Baker. (Virginia Land Office Patents
No. 22, 1743-1745 (v.1 & 2 p.1-631), p. 566 (Reel 20))
Benjamin
Alsup still owned property in 1745. Was anyone working it? Was it just laying
fallow? Are one or more of his sons working the land?
Probably
not, because another Alsup name should have shown up in the processioning. Ben
had sons, Joseph, b: 1705, and most likely Thomas.
Neither
one mentioned as helping Benjamin.

8 Oct 1745 to Ben Alsup 1200
Yet
another Church contribution to Benjamin
8 Oct 1745 St Pauls Judgement against JOSEPH ALSUP for concealing tithables, in Mr Jennings hands
Joseph
had to be a son of Benjamin. Joseph had at least two sons over 16. 1745 minus 18 equals 1727.
Subtract at least
21
years from this, and we get an approximate birth date for Joseph as 1705-1706.
With this birth date, Joseph could
NOT
have been a son of William jr, who was confirmed as
born in 1690. William jr was 15 years old when Joseph
was
born.
Figure
two sons born about 1727.

John Lawrence 39 1/2
acres... at William Taylor's corner...tp Edmond Berkeley's corner...

Yarbrough
and John Price corner.
(This may be a typo, as it may have been meant
to be “Alsup Yarbrough. Notice first and last names mentioned except
Alsup & Yarbrough)
(John Lawrence, in his will in 1778, named Alsup
Yarbrough
as a land owner living next to his property.)
This confirms that Wm Alsup and Alsup
Yarborough were neighbors
================================
Based
on the above data so far, Benjamin Alsup lived in a different district than
William and William jr.
(The
land processioning was Wm & Wm jr in No 3, and Ben
in District No 10. James Hooper was in District No. 1.)
Ben
lived at the head of Mechumps creek. Ben had to be taken in as poor.
Ben
might possibly have been Benjamin jr.
William
sr was a head of the community. He was a “Sexton”. Wm also signed
land processioning orders.
Why
William did not help Benjamin can only be speculation. Maybe they did not get
along.
Maybe
Ben was a son of the other Benjamin, making Ben jr a
nephew of William.
Maybe
Ben, for some reason, was not liked. The timeline shows that Ben was afflicted,
either physically or mentally.
Even
his sons did not help him.

Sherry,
Your
website is terrific. I heard about you from your Mom. We use to
correspond eons ago!
At one time I thought
Joseph Perrin was the father of our John Perrin. He isn't. I've been working on
the Perrin line for more years than I care to remember. I've tried everyway I
know how to connect John to Joseph. But it just isn't there. I "believe"
the father of our John Perrin was Henry Perrin. No solid proof! I think it goes like
this:
Henry Perrin was the
father of Isaac Perrin b. c 1736, John b. c 1738 and Joseph b. c 1740. I'm sure
there were others but these 3 are fairly certain. This Joseph was the
one who ended up in Georgia. Henry, I believe, was a brother of the Joseph
Perrin who md. Rebecca.
Mary Lou Bailey's
Research
Although this has not been proven, it is the best
possible scenario thus far as to who the father of John Perrin is. The dates fit, location, etc.
I enter this information here more for the purpose of research than actual
fact. This is for my benefit only and not to be taken as fact. I believe this work of Mary Lou is the most factual and realistic
of any other I've seen. I give her full credit for this information.
Henry Perrin of Hanover County is a contemporary and is possibly
a brother of the Joseph Perrin who was born about 1700 at Hanover County and later settled at
Lunenburg/Charlotte Counties. Henry named a son, born in 1740, Joseph Perrin.
Henry may have lived in Henrico County
before settling in Hanover County.
His son, Joseph Perrin, sold land in Henrico
County on 20 June 1771, stating
it was land he had received from his father, Henry Perrin.
In 1771, Henry Perrin had land
processioned in Hanover County, in
a district which included land of John Bowe, deceased, Pulliam's orphans, and
others of the Bowe and Ragland surnames, the same families who had been
neighbors to Samuel Perrin and to the Joseph Perrin, later of Charlotte County, 1715-1740.
About 1781-1783 Henry Perrin of Hanover
County made a claim for public
service in the Rev. War. A Henry Perrin ( b.1710,d.1782)
is listed on the tax lists at Hanover Co.,Va. between 1782 and 1815. The early
entries perhaps apply to this Henry, and the later ones to Henry, son of Isaac,
who first appears in 1784 under his father, Isaac Perrin.
A census of Va. taken
in 1782 listed Henry Perrin ( b.1710, d 1782)
living at Hanover County. He was
the head of a family of 3 whites and 3 blacks.
Children of Henry Perrin are speculated to include:
John Perrin b. c 1738, Isaac Perrin b. c 1736, and Joseph Perrin b. c
1740.
1790 Census Hanover Co.,Va. St. Paul's Parish lists Henry
Perren...3 free white males 16 & up, and 3 blacks.
The 1810 Census for Hanover Co. lists a Henry
Perrin on p.60

Reuben George married Mildred

Caroline Co, VA, Reuben appeared with his brothers in Pittsylvania Co, VA in
several court records, though I'm quite sure he never lived there.

ALLSUP, Thomas & Cepha DUNLEY, 8 Jun 1797, Washington Co. VA
=================
WASHINGTON COUNTY, VA
1782, Treasury Warrant Number 14129, Samuel Allsup, Washington County, VA;
In 1833, John Shelton of Scott County, Virginia sold twenty-five acres of land to David Wininger of Scott County,
Virginia. This land was originally claimed by Samuel Allsup in the Treasury Warrant Number
14129 on September 6, 1782 in what was then Washington County, Virginia. On May 19, 1814, twenty-
five acres of the original Allsup claim was assigned and granted to Solomon Potter.
This twenty-five acres was located on Opossum Creek, a branch of the north fork of the Holstein River.
Apparently, John Shelton acquired this land after 1814 and eventually sold it to David Wininger in 1833.
According to History of Jackson County, Alabama, John Shelton came from Virginia to Maynards Cove in 1830.
Since John Shelton of Scott County, Virginia sold land in 1833 in Scott County, Virginia,
he probably moved to Jackson County, Alabama in 1833.
According to the Family Bible, John and Catherine Shelton were the parents of ten children.

There obviously is a
connection here.
First, I cannot find this
orphaned Joseph Alsop anywhere else in any future documents.
I believe I know who his
father was, (Joseph Alsop) who died after Revolution hostilities ceased, during
a barge explosion in July 1783 in Maryland.
Second, The stonemason
listed above, (Michl Madera) age wise, makes me suspicion he could have been a
son
of Nicholas Madeira.

I am researching the William Alsup/Alsop family who were in the area of Mechumps Creek in the
early 1700's. He sold a 3 acre plot to the Vestry of St. Paul's Parish June 16,
1729 on which they built Slash Church. Alsup had a 400 acre land grant in this
area. I am trying to see if anyone might have some information regarding the
Alsup/Alsop family. My family was invited to attend a dedication of a Historic
Highway Marker in October 4, 1998 which we attended. We also were invited to a
275th anniversary of the Church in 2004 which we could not attend. Dianne Jones
the church historian has been quite helpful in my research. Any info about the
family would be appreciated. Pat Alsup Hardman [email protected]

Hi Dave,
Thanks for asking. The first I find John
Alsop (born bef 1758) was being
taxed and applying for a tavern license in Newberry Township, York County in
between 1779-1783.
------------------
Also, 1779-1782, York Co, Newberry twp, John Alsop taxed each
year on 200 acres
----------------------
He is not listed there after
those dates.
I find a John Alsop in the Paradise & Berwick Township of
York County. His Captain in
the Revolutionary War is Capt. Ickes/Fickes who lived in Paradise Township.
The next I see a John
Alsop is in the 1790 census in
was later Columbia Borough (Hempfield Township) Lancaster County. He is not
taxed there, which may mean he was not a resident there.
There is an Alsop who married George Carrouthers of Hempfield Township in 1809.
This all the information I have on John Alsop.
There were Alsips in Franklin County, PA, who I think moved there from
Maryland, but no John Alsops.
Thanks for your interest & help in John Alsop.
-----------------
I am not related to either
the Carrothers or Alsop families. I am doing some historical research, and I
ran across a marriage of a George Carrothers and an Emilia Alsop in Lancaster
County, Pennsylvania in 1809.
