Jeremiah Compton Sr.

bullet

I'm researching the line of Jeremiah Compton Sr. (1775 - 1849?) of Russell Co. VA.

bullet

He was not in the 1850 Census for VA. He and his second wife, Courtney, disappeared after they sold the family farm to Jeremiah Compton Jr. in 1848. Jeremiah could have died but Courtney was gone as well. She didn't show up until 1860 living with her son John Yates in Buchanan Co.

bullet

I have not been able to identify all of Jeremiah Sr.'s children.

bullet

He had 9 kids. 3 of which I can positively id. Richard J. Compton, Bartemous Compton, Jeremiah Jr.

bullet

There were 5 girls. One of which I believe was Priscilla, who married John Yates and had 4 kids by him. (Jeremiah Yates, Phoebe, Sam, Joe)

bullet

There was also another boy that was 15-20 in 1840 but disappeared by 1850.

bullet

I tend to believe that James Compton who married Emily, was a son of (Revolutionary) James, or he was a son of Thomas Compton.

bullet

No one knows who Jeremiah Sr.'s first wife was. I believe she died in the early 1840s.

bullet

Since the first marriage book was stolen much of that information will never be found.

John Compton I am from the John Compton of Maryland, 1630ca-1718, immigrant. His wife was Mary Clark. I have quite a good bit on him. Some seem to think he might descend from a John and wife Susannah of Mass. but I have spent hundreds of hours in both the Hall of Records/Archives of Annapolis and the Historical Society Libr. in Baltimore and never seen anything that could tie the families together.

Would welcome any PROOF and DOCUMENTATION of this information.

I am from John's son Mathew and his wife Susannah Briscoe. I have all the children of everyone from John the immigrant to Maryland down for several generations with a great deal of documentation.

Mary S. Compton.

 All I know of her is that she married my GGrandfather John Hannah Tedford on 12 May 1869, believed in Hamilton County, IL. Either she died or they were divorced before 1875 because that is when John married Frances Henrietta Mitchell.

Zachariah COMPTON

bullet

Zachariah COMPTON, who appears in Mercer Co., Ky., as early as the 1789 Tax List. His will dated 25 June 1804 was probated at the Garrard Co., Ky., Nov. Ct. 1804 (Will Book A, pp. 179-180).

bullet

Zachariah's wife was named Catherine ("Kitty"). His children mentioned in the will are Sally (m. William PETER); Heli/Heley; Elizabeth ("Betsy"), who married William ISON 23 June 1801 (this is my line); and Burrus (m. Anny DISMUKES 20 Nov 1805).

bullet

Although there are many theories concerning the parents of Zachariah, so far I have found no firm evidence to support any of them, nor have I found any connection to any other COMPTON family in Kentucky during that era. Naturally I'd love to.
