resided BEF 1818 in Stewart County, Tennessee
emigrated 1818 to Jackson, East Feliciana Parish, Louisiana
Information furnished by Joyce Bradford, husband of George Bradford, son of Willie, son of Benjamin, son of David, son of Green Hill
From Hiram: "Major Green H. Bradford was of a daring spirit and fond of adventure, not satisfied with confronting the Indians who were very savage, around about us, in those days--he prevailed on my father to let him go South with a friend soon after settling on Cumberland, and was absent about seven years in what was in those times parts almost unknown, then West Florida, now State of Lousiana.
He returned -- - -(four words illegible), with a wife and child, having married Betsey Robinson on (parrish illegible), about 30 miles of Madison on Lake Penchartrain. He made frequent trading trips afterwards to that region of country and afterward, in company with myself, finally moved there, lived in the Parish of East Feliciana, finally settled in St. Mollena and died there about the year 1840. His sons were Thomas Benjamin, who died when nearly grown. Also, James, Hiram and David. His daughters were Matilda, Roena and Carolina. These are all I know of. His widow married and went to Red River, and I suppose the children followed."

[GOODSPEED'S BIOGRAPHICAL APPENDIX - FRANKLIN COUNTY]
JOHN W. SYLER, the surveyor of Franklin County, was born April 23, 1825, in this county, being a son of Jacob and Jane (Thompson) Syler, natives of Franklin County, Tenn., and North Carolina, respectively. The grandfather was John Syler, who came from Rockbridge County, VA, in 1812, and settled in the west part of this county. Here he reared his family, all the Sylers of the county being descendants of his. Jacob Syler, like his father, was a farmer, a man of ordinary means. The mother came from her native State to this county when young and lived all her remaining life in Franklin County. John W. Syler, the subject of this sketch, was reared on a farm. He attended and graduated from the Davidson College, of North Carolina, and then entered the profession of teaching. For about ten years he was professor of mathematics, languages and science in the Robert Donald College, at Winchester, Tenn. He then taught the Carrick Academy, of Winchester, for many years, being engaged in the profession of teaching altogether about twenty years. He has also carried on farming all the time since he was a young man. He now owns about 10,000 acres of wild land. He has been superintendent of public instruction in this county for many years. In 1878 he was elected county surveyor of Franklin County, and now holds that office. From 1869 to 1872 he was engaged in merchandising. He was married, in 1853, to Miss E. V. Mann, the fruits of this union being ten children, eight of whom are now living, and six of whom are grown, viz.: Mollie L. (wife of Peter Weir, of Texas), J. F., Annie V. (wife of Fred Heep, of Texas), Bettie J. (wife of J. C. Arledge), John T., Emma, Walter S. and M. R. Mr. Syler is a Blue Lodge Mason. Politically he is a firm Democrat.

Notes for Robert William Syler:
[Syler.FTW]
ENLISTED IN CO. F OF THE 1ST REG. OF TENN. VOL. ON THE 24TH DAY OF APRIL 1861. HE WAS 34 YEARS OLD, 5'10", FAIR COMPLECTION, GREY EYES, LIGHT HAIR. DISCHARGED FEB 12, 1862 FOR DISABILITY. Robert William, son of Jacob & Jane Thompson Siler, was born in Franklin county. Married Elizabeth Ann Pearson, in Franklin County, TN by Justice of the Peace, G. W. Bowling. It was in the town of Salem, or possibly a few miles from there in the area of Lexie Crossroads, where the Siler homestead was located, that they were married and lived. The Federal census records list them at Salem, also, Ann's family, her mother Darcus Pearson, who's family descended from the Quaker immigrants, Bartholomew Stovall and Ann Burton Stovall. Their son John Stovall and Dorcas, his wife, their son George Stovall and Elizabeth Staples, who were the mother and father of Darcus Pearson. Darcus Pearson was 50 years of age in 1870 census and Ann's brother, Kindred was 18. The 1860 census lists Robert and Ann as age 34 & 24 and two of their three children, Martha, age 5 and Mary age 1. Robert,Sr's father, Jacob Siler, died prior to 1852, when the oldest son, John Wesley Syler, was appointed guardian of their younger brothers and sisters, at the December Term of County Court in 1852. Alfred Henderson and Arthur St. Clair Colyar were his securities. Colyar was quite a politician and several times ran for governor of the state of Tennessee, loosing each time. Apparently Jacob's second wife, Louise, did not want the responsibility of rearing the children of Jacob Siler, and in the January Term of Court in 1853, she petitioned for her dower, which was laid off.
There were a few years of happiness for the young couple, another child, Robert William, was born on Nov 20, 1860. Already there were rumbeling of the impending conflicts to come. It was the election of Lincoln which immediately posed the question of "Union or Confederate, "in every village of the state. Though Tennessee was at first basically pro-union, Franlin County took action late in 1860 to show which way she leaned, regardless of the state. At a great "Mass Meeting" at Winchester, speeches were delivered by such leaders as Miller Turney, A. S. Colyar, H. T. Carr, Dr. B.W. Childs and others. H. T. Carr submitted the following resolution which expressed a sentiment rapidly growing in the state, although no action was taken: "Be it resolved: that it is the sense of this meeting that in the event that any one of the Southern States, or more, should, under the grievous wrong now pressed upon them by the Sectional States of the North, secede from the union, we hold it to be our duty to sympathise with, aid and assist our Southern brethern, if an attempt is made to coerce them into submission."

Notes for Thomas Jefferson Syler:
[Syler.FTW]
His parents died when he was small and he lived with his Grandmother. After finishing High School, rather than go to college as his brother JOHN WESLEY SYLER intended, he ran away at the age of 19, and went to Winchester, TX. It is not known how long it took him to make the trip. He wagoned and worked on farms and with cattle. He met and married Caroline Chandler of Jefferson County Missouri, Mar 26, 1861 in Fayette County Texas. When the war was declared, he went. His company is not known as all the records were destroyed by fire when the old Syler home burned in 1906. At the close of the war, he was stationed on the Rio Grande near Brownsville, TX and he went into Mexico and worked several months before returning home, as the government was unable to pay the soldiers, and he had a wife and two children at home to support. After coming home with several hundred dollars, because they paid well in Mexico, he bought 500 acres of land on Pinoak Creek near the old Blackwell's Gin, called at that time Bethany Post Office. He built a house of logs, a story and half high, with shed rooms and a long front porch. They planted an orchard, farmed and raised cattle, sheep and horses, and made a comfortable living. They took an interest in all community affairs. He served as school trustee a number of times. He spent his entire life in Fayette County after coming to TX and never moved after they settled at the close of the war. He was the father of ten children, three died in infancy, and the eldest son John Wesley died in OK in 1914, where the family still resided in 1926.
Florence, the youngest child wrote years later that her mother and father were great home lovers. They had a splendid orchard with lots of fruit and a beautiful flower garden. She said she was told by several old friends after her mother's death that the Syler yard was the most beautiful there was in the whole county. Most every kind of shrub and flower was in the yard. Florence was eight years old at the time of her mother's death, but she could still remember years later how they would spend days cutting peaches to dry and preserve, and they never grew away from the customary ways of doing things.
The old home place was still in the family in 1926, belonging to Clem A. Syler. While Mrs. Syler still lived they held an old Hard Shell Baptist Association meeting at the home with a large crowd in attendance. Mr. & Mrs. Syler were Methodists but took part in all religious affairs.

Notes for George Washington Syler:
[Syler.FTW]
Son of JACOB SILER, Was 2 months old when his mother died and 12 years old when his father died. No information on who he lived with. One of his older brothers, THOMAS JEFFERSON SYLER, was living with his grandmother. JOHN W. SYLER was appointed guardian to the younger children of his stepmother and Dad and were listed in the December 1852 Term of County Court, Franklin County Court Records. ALFRED HENDERSON and ARTHUR St. CLAIR COLYAR were his securities. COLYAR was quite a politician and several times ran for governor of the state of Tennessee, losing each time. Apparently JACOB' s second wife, LOUISE, did not want the responsibility of rearing the children of JACOB SILER and in the January term of Court in 1853 , she petitioned for her dower, which was laid off. In 1860 there were rumbleings of the impending conflicts to come. It was the election of Lincoln which immediately posed the question of "Union or Confederate," in every village of the state. Though Tennessee was at first basically pro-union, Franklin county took action late in 1860 to show which way she leaned regardless of the state. At a great "Mass Meeting" at Winchester, speaches were delivered by such leaders as MILLER TURNEY, A.S. COLYAR, H.T. CARR, Dr. B.W. CHILDS and others. H.T. CARR submitted the following resolution which expressed a sentiment rapidly growing in the State, athough no action was actually taken: "Be it resolved: That it is the sense of this meeting that in the event that any one of the southern states, or more, should, under the grievous wrong now pressed upon them by the secitonal states of the north, secede from the Union, We hold it to be our duty to sympathize with, aid and assist our southern brethern, if an attempt is made to coerce them into submission." (MCKELLAR, CHUWALEE P 117)
On Dec. 6, 1860, ISOM G. HARRIS called for a special session of the legislature to be held Januaryu 7, 1861, to consider the present condition of the country. It was determined that the calling of a convention would be submitted to the people in the form of a Referendum, since Harris felt that those people now serving in the legislature were not elected with the power to act on such broad concerns. On February 9th a vote was held for delegates for the convention "To consider the Existing Relations of the State of Tennessee." PETER TURNEY was the county's choice for delegate, and though the convention was never held, a far more important meeting was held on Winchester's own courthouse lawn, on February 24th. At this meeting principally engineered by PETER TURNEY, Col. THOMAS FINCH was called to act as chairman, Circuit Court Clerk NATHAN FRIZZELL and a prominent cotton planter, JOSEPH FRANKIN SYLER were chosen to act as secretaries.
J. F. SYLER was a brother of ROBERT W., GEORGE WASHINGTON, and JOHN WESLEY SYLER. A large and respectable portion of the Citizens of Franklin County consisting of several hundred people, heard PETER TURNEY, Esq's able and forceful speech in favor of immediate secession, in his usual stong and forceful manner, where he offered the resloutions asking for secession from the state of Tennessee and be annexed to the state of Alabama who had already seceded from the United States. The resolution being adopted without a dissenting voice and after the reading of each, the courthouse rang with loud and protracted applause and cheers. At the conclusion of the meeting Mr. A. JOURDAN sang a Southern Marsailles which was highly appreciated by all, and for which all joined in Hurras and loud and prottacted applause for Mr. JOURDAN
Once again Franklin County refused to lag. Immediately following the meeting of February 24th, Turney had raised four companies from neighboring communities and had offered the troops to the Confederate Governmdent, and by the end of March he received an invitation from the Confederate War Department to raise a regiment. During the first Week in April, 1861, men from Franklin, Lincoln, Coffee, and Grundy Counties were organized into ten companies, and on 9 April, Turney received another letter from J.J. Hooper, Private Secretary to L.P. Walker, Confederate Secretary of War, asking him to hold his regiment " in instant rediness to move at the call of this government".
The fervor with which these men volunteered was remarkable, since this was still a week before the first shots were fired at Fort Sumter, on 14 April. Five days after Lincoln's call for 75,000 troops of 19 April, VA seceded. The following day, 25 April, saw the ten companies assemble at Winchester with spirits soaring and trigger-fingers itching. The day before ROBERT SYLER, brother of GEORGE WASHINGTON SYLER, had enlisted in Captain Clement Arledge's Company at Salem, and he was among these assembled at the Courthouse. PETER TURNEY was elected their colonel on April 27th and the remaining three days of encampment before their departure were filled with parades, singing, dancing, and gay paarties. On the last day of April the troops gathered on the grassy lawn of Mary Sharp College, just east of the court house and the three hundred girls enroled there assembled to bid a touching farewell to Turney's Regiment. The scene could easily have been staged by Margaret Mitchell, for the dainty young "belles" wept with joy and pride for the gallant "Ashleys" riding off to defend their "Glorious Cause". A student's eye witness account follows: "The whole school assembled in front of the college to hear Col. Turney's farewell speech before he went to the front. He had been President of the Board of Trustees for many years. He was a man of magnificient physique, and as he rode into the ground on a beautiful horse, each throbbing heart in that group of southern girls felt sure that he would lead his troops to Glorious Victory. Dr. Graves (President of the College) made a ringing speech, which was cheered to the echo by the soldiers. Then Col Turney,his heart evidently stirred to its utmost depths and his face all aglo with the fire of love for the south, dismounted from his horse, and in a voice trembling with emotion asured Dr. Graves that his elequent burning words and the half-smiling, half-tearful faces of the girls would be an inspiration to him and his brave men in the new experiences awaiting them, that the memory of this hallowed scene would be with them in the lonely hours of camp life, and nerve their arms in the hour of battle. As he mounted his horse and rode away followed by his gallent soldiers, some of the girls sobbed quietly, but all felt in their hearts that such men and such a leader could never know defeat." THE NASHVILLE DAILY GAZETTE OF FRIDAY MAY 3, 1861, PAGE 2, REPORTED THE DEPARTURE OF THE FRANKLIN COUNTY REGIMENT: "On Wednesday evening last, PETER TRUNEY's Regiment of Franklin County Troops, 1200 strong, took their departure from Winchester for Lynchburg, VA. The scene of their leaving is said to have been of the most solem and impressive character. As the troops marched out of town, their path was literally strewn with flowers from the hands of ladies and children, who, while they wept biterly at the necessity of parting with their brave friends and kinsmen, prounced in their every action a hearty "God Bless You."
The following day the troops marched to Decherd and boarded a train for the trip to Virginia--still having no orders from the Confederate Government to do so. Soon after their departure the train was side-tracked to allow another train from Knoxville to pass. The passengers aboard each train jerred and taunted those aboard the other: for the other train carried Union sympathizers headed for Nashville to protest to Governor Harris the upcoming referendum for secession, which would this time prove successful. And so with the arrival of their troops in Virginia, Franklin County proved undeniably that she had, in a sence, "seceded" from Tennessee, although Alabama never acted on the resolution to admit Franklin County to that state, and Franklin County automatically became part of Tennessee again when the state finally did seceeed.
After the organization of the Regiment at Winchester they moved on toward the seat of war in Virginia. The cars were not Pullman Palace Sleepers, but simply box cars such as used in hauling sheep, hogs cattle, and horses. By dawn they had gone all the way to Chattanooga, and passed leaisurely through East Tennessee, made a long stop at Morristown. Looking down a street three hundred yards away, they could see a large crowd assembled there where Andrew Johnson was to make a speech. Some of the boys suggested that they take him off the stump and carry him with them, but sober counsel prevailed, however, and Andy was left unmolested. The regiment was evidently the first soldiers who had passed that way, for a good crowd assembled to gaze at them, and presently calls were made for speeches. Several prominent citizens responded, and their speeches were favorable to the South. The calls for our regiment officers and Colonel Turney made again his famous speech, telling how we would fight yankies "Whenever, Wherever, and However".
Leisurely they passed along, reaching Lynchburg, VA. at daybreak, on the first day of May, where they marched to the Fair Grounds. There they found that the stalls for horses had been converted into barracks for them, four men to sleep on the lower floor, four on the upper, making eight for each stall. Many incidents occurred here of more or less interest, one of which was the sharp contest between Majors Anderson and Holman. It was learned that Confederate War Departments regulations required only one Major to the Regiment, but two had been elected, following Federal Regulations. Another very warm election was held and Holman was elected Major of the Regiment. Afterward they were sworn into service of the Confederate States, being drawn up into line, close column by division and it is believed a Confederate Officer, C.C. CLAY, stood upon a rostum and commanded to raise right hands, and take upon themselves the solomn oath to stand true to President Davis and the Confederate Cause.... After a stay of two or three weeks at Lynchburg, the unit was transported to Richmond, where tents had been prepared. Cooking and eating their rations, and learning how to step to the air of Martial Music was an everyday occurance. After a few days smooth-bore muskets were issued to the men, when they had been promised they would be armed with rifles by Colonel Turney. andemonium reigned, and in vain Colonel Turney said that it was the best that could be done, that the Confederacy had no rifles. Fortunately President Davis and his Cabinet arrived in Richmond, and Mr. Davis came into camp, and standing upon a box, delivered a very elequent speech. Companies were marched back to their quarters, and every man took his gun, with which they did effective work, and after they began to get into battle each one soon had a good rifle.
The next move was to Winchester, VA. where they stayed about a week, drilling and learning how to maneuver upon the field and doing the manual of arms. From there they were sent to Harper's Ferry, remaining there about a week. They saw where old John Brown was captured. While there the regiment was allowed to vote, along with the rest of the state of Tennessee, on whether or not they favored the Ordiances of Secession from the Federal Government. Strangely enough, some of the troops voted against secession, but overwhelmingly the regiment favored it. They were also issued their first Confederate uniforms, and were then marched back to Winchester, VA. Some who had been issued new shoes had very sore feet. They passed through Charleston, and arriving back to a place called Darksville to meet the yankees under General Patterson. In a skirmish fourteen yankees were captured, and was the first prisoners they ever saw. Back again to Winchester, they took up the regular routine of Camp life. How proudly did they step when the band struck up "The Girl I Left Behind Me!" With guns shining bright and bayonets gleaming high in the air, they stepped and thought of the loved ones at home and the girls that had been left behind.
GEORGE MARRIED SAMANTHA JENNINGS, THE DAUGHTER OF WILLIAM C. AND MALISSA ARNOLD JENNINGS and a sister to CHARLOTTE JENNINGS, wife of ISAAC NEWTON SYLER.
GEORGE WASHINGTON SYLER joined the Confederate Army on 16 Nov 1861, at the age of 22. He was 1 Sgt. Company G, 41 Tenn. Inf. Camp 114, 11/26/1861 to 5/16/1865. He was captured at the fall of Ft. Donalson, escaped Oct. 16, 1862. Received pay at Camp Trousdale, was in the Battle of Richmond, VA.
He raised his grandson, ROY LEE SYLER and his sister, ANNIE after their mother died. Dad related stories that his Grandfather told about a battle on Lookout Mountain being the one where his company was on top of the mountain and the yankees were coming up the side of the mountain. He was considered the best "Marksman" in his unit. His fellow soldiers kept saying "Shoot Him George." He said the person rolled down the side of the mountain, as he described, like a squirrel. He was captured again, it is not known where, but according to the Confederate Muster Roll Records, He was paroled in Tallageda, AL. May 16, 1865. Dad said he would ask every minister he met if he would be forgiven for shooting the man on Look Out Mountain. He lost his mind before he died worrying over it.
He took his grandchildren, ROY LEE, ANNIE and GEORGE WASHINGTON to raise after their mother died and their dad was going to put them up for adoption. He owned a farm near Elk River and Shilo Bridge, Champ, TN. Grandmother SAMANTHA lived there until her death. Her son HUBERT lived with her until he married his 2nd wife ZORA SULLENGER. The property was owned by AARON JENNINGS in the 1950's when I lived in Sullenger Bend. This information was received from SALLY SYLER RICHEY. The book "SMITHLAND" by Reuben Crawford, has pictures of Granny Syler (Samantha) and a write up about Hubert Syler, their son. In Elaine Owens Dickey's book of LINCOLN COUNTY speaks of a place called GEORGE'S STORE in Smithland. It was Incorporated in 1880 and renamed "SMITHLAND" in 1885. It is thought this probably was GEORGE WASHINGTON SYLER'S store. AGE 79 YRS 5 MOS 9 DAYS

Notes for John Wesley Syler:
[Syler.FTW]
Also attended University of North Carolina. Began spelling Siler, SYLER while at University of NC. Persuaded his brothers to do likewise. His father never consented and refused mail sent to him if spelled with a Y. From 1878 to 1886 he was Franklin County Surveyor. His home still stands on Hwy 50 (Lynchburg/Winchester highway). It is a red brick, two story colonial home, the last house on the right coming out of Winchester toward Lynchburg before you cross the TVA bridge build over the Tims Ford Lake.

1838: George A. Pattillo emigrated to Texas in 1830. Report # 1, No. 11; 1 labor in Jefferson County.
[The Handbook of Texas Online]
George A. Pattillo, early Texas settler and political leader, was born in Georgia about 1796. He moved to Louisiana in 1819. He served as a member of the Republic of Texas General Council from January 13 to March 11, 1836. He volunteered for military duty and was en route to San Jacinto when the famous battle there was fought.
Gerorge held a number of public offices in Austin and in Southeast Texas. He served as associate justice of Jefferson County in 1837 before holding the position of justice of the peace in 1838. Although defeated in the 1840 House race, he represented Jefferson County in the House of Representatives of the Sixth Congress (1841-42) and was senator from Jefferson and Jasper counties in the Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth congresses of the republic. During this period he was chairman of the Committee on Enrolled Bills and led a successful fight against the repeal of the tariff. He was also noted as an ardent annexationist. In February 1844, Pattillo urged President Sam Houston to appoint an additional annexation negotiator in Washington. In 1845 Texas was admitted into the Union.
After the annexation of Texas, George became the first chief justice of Orange County, in 1852-53. In 1861 he served as justice of the peace for that county. Tax rolls of 1840 show that he had title to more than 3,800 acres of land in Jefferson County and owned five horses and five cattle. Jefferson, the former county seat on Cow Bayou, was actually a settlement, or scattering of farmhouses, and was never platted as a townsite. By 1845, it had vanished as a community. The new post office was established at Pattillo's Station, George Pattillo's home on upper Cow Bayou, midway between Beaumont and Orange. Toward the end of his life George settled at Bunn's Bluff, on the Neches River north of Beaumont, where he remained until his death in 1871.

Notes for Thomas Bradford:
[The Bradfords of Charles City County, Virginia and Some of Their Descendants, 1653-1993, by David Thomas Bradford]
John's oldest brother, Thomas, also left plenty of footprints between his birth in 1731 and his death in 1785. He and his wife Mary had nine children: Elizabeth (who married John Prewitt in 1769); Mary (who married a Mr. Lovet); Philemon (who married Susan Clopton on March 25, 1779); David (who married Mary Keraney, or perhaps Kearny, on August 2, 1784, and who is referred to as David Bradford Jr. in Granville County records); Thomas Jr. (who married in Polly Hargraves on August 12, 1782, and is believed to have married a second wife, Martha Garrison, on February 13, 1804); Ephriam; Benjamin (who married Polly Smith in 1783, before moving to Tennessee and, later, Louisiana); Sarah (who married James Fuller in 1786); and Sealy (who married Coleman Reed White in 1786). Thomas, the oldest of Philemon's children, like his father, actively snapped up available land in Granville County. Hence, Thomas was granted 640 acres on the Lick Creek branch of Flatt River on March 25, 1752. He was granted 412 acres on the north side of Fishing Creek on March 10, 1761. Finally, also on March 10, 1761, he was granted 430 acres on both sides of Fort Creek "joining Philemon Bradford's line." Thomas sold that last tract to his father for ten pounds on November 11, 1961. Eight years later, as mentioned earlier, Philemon passed that land to his son John Bradford I -- my great, great, great, great, great grandfather. Thomas also served in the Granville County militia. Hence, Thomas appeared at that militia's general musters on October 8, 1754 and September 6, 1755. Thomas died in Granville County in 1786. His will, dated March 22, 1785, was proved in the Granville County court in May 1786. James Heflin delivered the sermon at Thomas's funeral. Thomas, like his brother Philemon Jr., has a number of descendants who have actively traced his branch of the Bradford family tree. Notably, two of Thomas's sons (Philemon, ca.1755-1824, and Thomas Jr., ca.1750-ca.1835) reportedly moved to Greenville County, South Carolina, in 1797. Thereafter, in 1814, the descendants of those two sons reportedly all moved from South Carolina to Alabama. Indeed, a wealth of information on the descendants of Philemon's descendants can be found in the Asheville Library and Archives in St. Clair County, Alabama. Most informative is a large descendancy chart, going all the way back to the first Philemon Bradford, which lists over a hundred Bradford descendants. That chart, created by Earl Massey of Trussville, Alabama, has information on a host of descendants of Philemon who moved to Alabama, including, most tantalizingly, the Presley family (i.e., a Mary Bradford married William R. Presley in Alabama in about 1840) -- whether or not that makes the Bradfords related the "King of Rock and Roll" Elvis Aaron Presley (who was born in nearby Tupelo, Mississippi ninety-five years later), I do not know. I leave that to another researcher to discover.

Samuel Pattillo was taxed in McKeever's Mulberry Fork District in Jackson Co., GA, 1803-1805. He was a fortunate drawer in the 1805 and 1821 Land Lotteries in GA. Drawing land first in Jackson Co. and second in Lee Co. He is, also, listed in the 1832-1833 "Gold and Land Lottery". He was enumerated in the 1820 census of Morgan Co., GA, later moving to Walton Co., GA (1830 census) and then to Newton Co., GA (1840 census) where he was living at the time of his death.
As stated before, he was one of the witnesses of David's, his brother, will in Morgan Co., GA. The Last Will and Testament of David Pattillo, dec'd., was proven in open court 6 Mar. 1815, Morgan Co., by the oaths of William Johnston, Samuel Pattillo and Robert Sessions.
Rev. Samuel and others purchased a piece of land in Newton Co., GA, to build a house of worship for the Methodist Episcopal Church from Julian and Qoe Bailey, 9 Mar. 1~30. This same year, Samuel Pattillo of Walton Co. purchased land in Covington, Newton Co., GA, for himself. (Film No. 42492, pt. 5, SLC)
Some descendants of Rev. Samuel Pattillo have stated that he was buried behind the pulpit of the Pattillo Memorial Methodist Church, Covington, GA. Yet, in the old part of West View Cemetery, Covington, GA, there is a head stone bearing the inscription of Rev. Samuel Pattillo June 25, 1771;d. Sept. 14, 1841. The headstone for his second wife, Martha Bailey, reads "Martha Patillo -- Aug. 7, 1790 - Sept. 14, 1842. The announcement of Mrs. Pattillo's death appeared in the Southern Christian Advocate, 21 Oct. 1842. It stated that "Mrs. Martha Patillo, widow of Rev, Samuel Patillo, died Sept. 15, 1842. Her husband died recently at Covington, Newton Co., GA beyond his three score and ten years." (Ga. Mag., F. Huxton, 1961-62, p. 70)
(Patillo, Pattillo, Patullo and Pittillo Families, compiled by Melba C. Crosse)
"Mrs. Mattie Janet Miller, youngest daughter of Rev. Samuel Pattillo, son of George, wrote a history of the Pattillo family. In this she states the following: "The following facts are from my father, Samuel Pattillo. 'My father, George Pattillo, aged about 20, and his brother Henry Pattillo, about 18 years old, came to America in the year 1740. My father had not been in America a great while before he was married to Martha Varner of Penn, He afterwards settled in Charlotte Co., Va., where he reared the most of his family, five sons and three daughters their names as follows: James, William, David, John and Samuel, Sarah, Mary and Jane. My father's brother, Henrv Pattillo, settled in North Carolina, and in time became an eminent Presbyterian minister. He married and reared several children. All of the Pattillos in America are descendants of these two brothers, the most of them being those from George Pattillo, my father who was a devout, holy nan, a Wesleyan Methodist, my mother of the same faith. My father, Samuel Pattilio was a Methodist preacher more than forty years before he was called to his reward in 1844. He was twice married; first to Frances Hall, by whom there were nine children. Their names: George Alexander, Leroy, Martha Reid, Wesley, Simeon, James, Elizabeth, Urban and Fannie. His second wife was Martha Bailey, by whom there were eight children, (three died in infancy), their names: Samuel Henry, Mary Louise, Robert Fletcher, Benjamin ;Upheus and h·fatde Janet."

Notes for LeRoy Pattillo:
[Pattillo.FTW]
Leroy Pattillo was enumerated on the 1830, 1840 and 1850 censuses of Walton Co., GA. Emaline (Evelina?) Pattillo was enumerated on the 1860 census of Walton Co., Ga. (p. 558) and gave her age as 45. If this was Evelina, instead of an Emaline, and it probably was, she was shy ten years on her age. Her age on the 1850 census was 44 which was probably correct. It has never been unusual for a woman to subtract a few years from her age as she grew older.
Leroy Pattillo drew land in the 1827 GA. Land Lottery (No. 193, dt. 5, sec. Coweta) and again in the Gold Lottery of 1832 in Cobb Co., GA. Since Leroy's residence continued in Walton Co. until his death, it is possible that some of his children "took up" the land he drew before 1845. He was appointed postmaster of Monroe, 4 Dec. 1832; listed as a surveyor in 1854 and as a merchant in 1850. He, with a number of others, contributed in 1849 toward the purchase of 62 acs. near Monroe for a Methodist camp ground. (Wayfarers in Walton 1818-1967, A. B.

Notes for Johann Phillipp Siler:
[Syler.FTW]
Settled in Rockbridge county Va. about 1781. He is believed to be named for his uncle and grandfather Harless. It is reported he moved to Tennesse to be with his sons in later years. There are records showing he sold property in Rockbridge county in 1785. In December 1789 he deeded his interest in his father's estate (he now was deceased) to brother-in-law Anthony Mustoe. In Jacob, Sr's Will he was to receive five pounds sterling in leiu of his estate. In addition to 1/10th of the Siler estate. The records of a younger cousin Philip Siler, Jr. (1764-1852) are sometimes confused, as well as those pertaining to his uncle Philip Siler, Sr.
PHILIP SILER was born in Augusta County Va. circa 1755, married to ESTER about 1776-1778. He was known to be living in Rockbridge County Va in 1789. It is believed PHILLIP is the ancester of the line of SYLER's in Arkansas, and if so he would have married by 1780 when his son JOHN was born in Franklin County, TN. leaving children whose descendants spread into Arkansas, TX and Missouri. If ANNA CATHERINA was born on the boat to America, PHILIP would have been born in Germany.

Notes for George Alexander Pattillo:
[pattillo.FTW]
George Alexander Pattillo, b. ca. 1720 in Scotland; d. 9 June 1798, Charlotte Co., Va. Married Martha Varner (Varnor, Vernon) of Penn. in VA, 1 July 1757. She was b. 1 Feb. 1735.
Came from Dundee, Angus County, Scotland to America with his brother, Henry Pattillo in 1740. George and his younger brother, Henry, had supposedly been in PA before moving to VA. They were closely associated with a large group of Scotch-Irish Presbyterians who had emigrated at an earlier date, by way of PA., to the southern part of Virginia. The group we speak of settled in and around Cub Creek, Charlotte Co., then Lunenburg Co. John CaIdwell seemed to be the leader of this particular group as the area near Cub Creek was known as the "Caldwell Settlement"
William Caldwell executed a deed, 2 Apr. 1751, in Lunenburg Co., VA, for the conveyance of one acre of ground on his land for a burial place to thirty-one men in his neighborhood. Among these men whose families we find closely associated with the Pattillo family were David Logan, James Logan, John Middleton, Isaac Vernon (Varner, Varnon) and Henry Pattillo. (Va. Hist. Mag., Vol. XVIII, pp. 40-41)
The first record we have of George Pattillo is in Lunenburg Co., VA, where he was listed as a tithable in 1752 by \William Caldwell. The surname was spelled Portiilo, The name of John Varnon follows that of George, (Sunlight on the Southside, L. C. Bell, p. 187).

(From Melba C. Crosse book)
"Mrs. Mattie Janet Miller, youngest daughter of Rev. Samuel Pattillo, son of George, wrote a history of the Pattillo family. In this she states the following: "The following facts are from my father, Samuel Pattillo. 'My father, George Pattillo, aged about 20, and his brother Henry Pattillo, about 18 years old, came to America in the year 1740. My father had not been in America a great while before he was married to Martha Varner of Penn, He afterwards settled in Charlotte Co., Va., where he reared the most of his family, five sons and three daughters their names as follows: James, William, David, John and Samuel, Sarah, Mary and Jane. My father's brother, Henrv Pattillo, settled in North Carolina, and in time became an eminent Presbyterian minister. He married and reared several children. All of the Pattillos in America are descendants of these two brothers, the most of them being those from George Pattillo, my father who was a devout, holy nan, a Wesleyan Methodist, my mother of the same faith. My father, Samuel Pattilio was a Methodist preacher more than forty years before he was called to his reward in 1844. He was twice married; first to Frances Hall, by whom there were nine children. Their names: George Alexander, Leroy, Martha Reid, Wesley, Simeon, James, Elizabeth, Urban and Fannie. His second wife was Martha Bailey, by whom there were eight children, (three died in infancy), their names: Samuel Henry, Mary Louise, Robert Fletcher, Benjamin ;Upheus and h·fatde Janet."
(Signed) M. J. Miller
The first portion of this history by M. J. Miller has been included in the first chapter of this book.
George Pattillo gave his daughter Jane the middle name of JOHNSTONE. His brother, Henry, named a son William JOHNSTONE Pattillo. He, too, had a daughter named Jane who was a namesake of his mother. Was Jane, the mother of George and Henry, a JOHNSTONE before her marriage?

Notes for Major James Pattillo:
[Pattillo.FTW]
American Revolutionary War Soldier James Pattillo, b. 8 Aug. 1759, Lunenburg Co., VA; d. 1804, Jefferson Co., Ga. He married in Charlotte Co., VA, Rebecca Brown, dau, of Russell Brown. Marriage bond dated 5 July 1784; sur. Anthony North. (Marriage Bonds - Charlotte Co., T/11., C. L. Knorr, p. 64).
James was 16 yrs. old at the beginning of the American Revolution and was 23 at its close. He, no doubt, served in the war as he continued in the military service until his death. He is not to be confused, however, with his cousin, James Patillo, who served three years as a sergeant and then as a commissary officer.
The first list of Justices of the Peace for Charlotte Co., VA, was submitted to the governor 25 Oct. 1784. In the first additional list of J. P.s returned 1 Apr. 1790, James Pattillo was included among the group. However, when the third additional List of Justices was returned 13 July 1796, it was recorded that "James Pattillo moved out of County". (Wm. & M., Vol. 21, p. 179).
William Caldwell, before moving to Kentucky in 1793, granted Power of Attorney to James in order that he could handle his business affairs for him in VA.
On the motion of James Pattillo, the Court of Charlotte Co., appointed him guardian of ~George Hays and Mary Ann Hays, orphans of Richard Hays, dec'd, "in the place of James Hayse the former guardian who appeared in open court and resigned his guardianship of the said orphans, the said Pattillo giving security, whereupon he together with Russell Brown and William Paulett Harvey his securities entered into and acknowledged their hand according to the law for that purpose." (CO Recs., Bk. 9, p. 154).
James was the attorney for the legatees of David Caldwell in Charlotte Co., VA, in 1796.
The Governor of VA commissioned James Pattillo as captain of the Militia in the 2nd Battalion of the Twenty Sixth Regiment in Charlotte Co.

Notes for Johan Jacob Sëyler:
[Syler.FTW]
It has been assumed that Plikard Dedric, Philip and Jacob Siler were Rhenish Palatinatte brothers who came to America in the 1740's. (Another brother, Johann Peter is listed with Plikard's when he arrived from Germany). Jacob married Mary Dorothy in Germany. They settled on a 308 acre plantation at Beverly Manor, Augusta County, VA where they lived out the rest of their lives. Their estate was left in the hands of two sons-in-law, Anthony Mustoe, and George Wiford and reached a final settlement March 5, 1805. In Jacob's will and accompanying documents, his name was mentioned seven times, and spelled five different ways, but he signed as "Jacob Seiler" in German Script, proof of his German ancestry. Alsatian German Johann Jacob Sëyler and family arrived in America sometime after 1752, probably 1755, as described in a letter written by grandaughter Feliskey Greiner (daughter of John David and Catherine Sëyler Greiner) of 13 Oct 1844 to nephew George Washington Points:
My Grandfather's name was Jacob Siler---They were raised in Elsas---he was independent---the reason he left---his family enjoyed no health there. On their voyage to America your grandmother [Anna Catherine Sëyler] was born three weeks before they landed in Baltimore. He left the family with relatives living there till he could suit himself, twelve miles from Fredericktown, Maryland. He bought a first rate farm. he had eight daughters and two sons. he lived on the farm till your grandmother was eighteen years old, when he sold that farm and came here [Staunton, Va.]---he bought the farm two miles from town, where Jacob Kinney lived, and laid down cash for it.
My father came from Frankfort in Germany. [blank space] he came to this place [Staunton] at the same time the corner lot up to the market house and across all that square was to be sold. My father bought it and put down cash for it. He commenced building----he boarded at the tavern. In course of time he saw my mother----fell in love with her----got her consent and her parents----and so they were married----they moved into town to their town house and opened a tavern. My father's name was John David Greiner----my mother's name was Catherine Siler [Anna Catherine Sëyler]. They lived together in harmony and love. [blank space] He died when he was quite young. I have no ecollection of him. He left a widow and seven children---two dead. My mother remained a widow two or there years---when she married the second time a man, the name of John Tennant. [blank space] They lived little more than a year together, when he was drafted to go to the army to fight the British.---but. alas! He died before they got to headquarters. My mother, [blank space] married the third time and you know all about it [married Michael Seyford]. I remain your Aunt. Faliskey Greiner.
The above 1977 letter is an edited excerpt from a letter of descendant Roy Sylar to the Harless Family Association, 545 Camellia Way, Los Altos, CA 94022 in which he said:
Dear Carol After all the trouble you have gone to in writing up my family line, it now appears that the Dorothy who was wife of Jacob Seyler is not a Harless descendant. Please let me explain. After seven years of search and with some help from professional genealogists of the Genealogical Society of LDS (Mormons), I became convinced my ancestor Jacob was brother to Plikard and Philip Siler and had married Mary "Dorothy" Harless, daughter of Johanes Philip & Anna Margaretha (Preiss) Harless. Everything seemed to fit in, although there were a few unanswered questions. Then, just two days ago (23 May 1977), I received a letter from a James H.B. Points of Pensacola, Florida, that dropped a bombshell in my lap. This letter contained copy of a letter written 13 October 1844 by Faliskey Greiner, a granddaughter of Jacob & Dorothy, and cited much needed information as to where they came from, when and where They landed in America, and their moves between 1755 and 1773. Feliskey's letter was written to her nephew, George Washington Points, a part of which follows [excerpt above].
Now Carol, there can be no denying Feliskey was writing of my great--great grandparents, Jacob & Dorothy Seyler, and at long last a number of questions have been cleared up for me. I now know when and where they came from (Ann Catherine was born 5/3/1755), that they landed at Baltimore, and first settled in Frederick Co., MD., where they remained until about 1773 before going to Augusta Co., VA. (Anna Catherine was eighteen years of age when the move was made). This also explains how Emanuel Harless married Elizabeth Seylor (Seyler) of Maryland. If not mistaken, Edmund Emanuel, son of Philip & Anna Margaretha did marry Elizabeth, daughter of Jacob & Dorothy. I do truely believe this clears up that mystery. It does give me a tie to the Harless family,
but not nearly as close as previously thought. On the strength of this new information it will be necessary to print a retraction of what was said about the origin of Jacob & Dorothy in your last Bulletin. It is apparent they had been married and started a family while still in Germany. Nor was Jacob a bonded servant when he arrived in America, but a man of some means to purchase a farm. As for the rest of the article on my family tree, I consider myself on solid ground, except for the bit about Emanuel & Elizabeth Harless. They were not cousins, or whatever, but of two entirely separated families, and it was Edmund Emanuel who married Elizabeth, daughter of Jacob & Dorothy Seyler. I am sorry to have cause you so much trouble, but after seven years of search I thought it all pinned down, or most of it. At least, I am now quite sure where my great--great grandparents came from. My sincere apologies. Roy
P.S. I can see no way to refute what Faliskey Greiner had to say, even though her letter (1844) was written nearly ninety years after the arrival of her grandparents (1755). There can be no doubt but what her mother repeated the story of her (mother's) birth on the high seas, many, many times. Sëyler family members in this line and others in which the given name Jacob is common are often confused because of similar migration patterns into Virginia. Three Sëyler brothers, Plikard, Philip and Jacob, emigrated from the Weimar region of Germany to Pennsylvania in the 1740's. Plikard married Elizabeth Hartzog, settled in Pennsylvania and had children before moving to Augusta Co,VA in 1755. He joined his two brothers who moved there with John Baumgartner to whom they were indentured for the trip to America. After working out the indenture, all became landowners in Augusta, Botetourt and Rockbridge counties of Virginia. Plikard and family moved to and remained in ChathamCo, NC in 1765 and founded Siler City, NC retaining the Siler spelling of the surname. Philip and wife Christian settled and remained in RockbridgeCo,VA (son Phillip Jr. had a blacksmith shop in New Lexington in 1812). Jacob Sëyler Sr. (1725-1789) of the three brothers appears to have used the spelling Seiler and is thought to have married a Mary Dorothy Harless (b. VA), daughter of Johan Philip and Anna Margaretha (Preiss/Price) Harless who emigrated from the German Palatinate in 1738. Oldest son Phillip resided in Rockbridge Co, VA and appears in records up to 1789. On 26 Dec 1789, Phillip Seylor deeded "that part of my father Jacob's estate, he now deceased" to brother-in-law Anthony Mustoe of Staunton, AugustaCo, VA. Phillip is thought to be the father of John Siler, born in RockbridgeCo, VA 1780 and moved to FranklinCo, TN where he settled on Bean Creek in 1815-1820 (died 4 Aug 1851). A number of the living husbands of Johann Jacob Sëyler's daughters were named executors in settlement of the estate, but little is known of fate of the individual families.
Youngest daughter Anna Margaret Siler mentioned in the will in 1785 was the only unmarried child at the time and received a part of the estate equal to her mother, Dorothy. She later married William Carroll who represented her at the final settlement.
1755: The Johann Jacob Sëyler family arrived in America at the port of Baltimore and soon after moved to a farm 12 miles outside Frederickstown, FrederickCo, Maryland where they lived for 18 years.
1773: The family moved to Staunton, AugustaCo, VA and bought a farm from Jacob Kinney two miles from town .
1777: Augusta Co, VA Deedbook 27, pg. 537, 540. Jacob Scilers purchased 245 acres of land in Beverly Manor from William Boyer on 22 May 1777 for 300 pounds. On the same day, Jacob and Dorothy Sciler sold 271 acres to William Burch. This latter tract consisted of two parts, one purchased from Stephen Loy and another from Robert Beverly of Beverly Manor. Beverly Manor was a 118,500 acre land grant to William Beverly issue in Orange Co, VA in 1736.
1785: (Will Book 7, pg. 181, Augusta Co, VA) Johann Jacob Sëyler's will was written 20 Apr., probated in 1789 after his death, but final settlement was not made until 1804 after death of wife Dorothy. His name was signed "Jacob Sëyler" indicating he could write, but probably only in German. His name in the text was written Silar. Two sons, Phillip and Jacob, and eight daughters are named in the will. Magdalene Siler is mentioned in the will with reference to unnamed husband and children with specific instructions that she is to receive her share of the estate only after death of her husband or if her husband were to survive her, then equal division of her share among the children
1789: Above will presented for probate after the death of Johann Jacob Sëyler. Sëyler's name is spelled variously Seilor, Seylor and Syler in documents related to settlement.
1804: Upon the death of Dorothy Sëyler, the Sëyler estate was settled in Augusta Co Probate court. The name is spelled Scilor, Saylor and Sciler in various records related to the settlement.

Notes for JR Jacob Sëyler:
[Syler.FTW]
Although there are uncertainties, it is unlikely that the Jacob Sylar above was the 4th child of Johann Jacob Sëyler Sr., Johann Jacob Sëyler Jr. b. 1749 in Alsace-Lorraine, who came with the family to America in 1755. It is more likely that Jacob Sëyler who married Jane Hartley was the namesake of his older Alsace-born brother who probably had died earlier. Since Feliskey Greiner refers to 8 daughters and 2 sons in the family, it is also likely that Johann Georg may have died young or on the high seas. Jacob Sëyler Jr. is referred to as the youngest son of Jacob Sëyler Sr. by descendants including researcher Roy Sylar.
1805: Jacob was named in his father's will settled in 1805. 1806: Jacob bought 83 acres on Buchanan's Mill Creek from John Brown on 5

James TURNER-7820 was b. 1710 in Caroline County, VA, Royal Colony. He d. 1793 in Bedford County, VA According to a published genealogy circa 1940 by Walter Hopkins of Richmond, VA and others at about the same time, Jame's line came from England and apparently was not related to the John/Shadrack line of Patrick and Henry Counties, VA which were believed from Scotland. However, more recent research in the Caroline County Order Books leads several researchers to connect the families. James married (1) Mary ADMIRE (?)-7821 about 1730.

Notes for James Turner:
[jmljr.ftw]
James TURNER was b. about 1670. James moved to the Bedford County, VA area. The connection of James of Bedford County, VA to Richard Turner of Caroline County, VA is based on review of the Caroline County Order Books by several researchers. This research has led some to connect James and John as sons of the same Richard. This is the family link shown herein. Other researchers claim these as two distinct lines, one from England the other Scotland. I have included the connected family here as the families seem to remain together through their movements. All of these Turners moved west. This moved located James' and John's families in the adjacent counties of Bedford and Henry.

Notes for Richard Turner:
[jmljr.ftw]
(from M. Jeanette O'Boyle, 449 Pump House Road, Murphysboro , IL 62966- 9246) "The earliest that I have record of our Turner family is in the Caroline County, VA, order book which lists the Turners from the beginning of the county being cut out of King and Queen County, VA. In the late 1730's Richard Turner gives land to his four sons, Richard, James, John, and Lewis. Later in the early 1740's Richard dies and lists Richard as the heir and James as the executor.
At this time Virginia was under the English rule in which only the eldest son inherited and the next oldest was the executor. Before the will could be executed apparently the son Richard had died with no heirs and as the next oldest James inherited with Lewis becoming the executor with mother Elizabeth and sister Margaret assisting. This means the John was not living at this time since he was the next oldest and would have been the next executor. There is no way that the sister Margaret would have been made an executor if another son was living. My files are packed away in a box but I think the date of old Richard Turner's will was 1744.
There is a Richard Turner listed on the tax lists in King & Queen in 1704. This may be our Richard Turner; however there is another Turner family in the same region, probably relatives, and this Richard may be from it. Most of these records were burned in the Civil War. In Caroline County only the order book remains with the details of the order book having been burned.
The orphan hearing of Meshack, Abednego, Elizabeth, and Sarah is in 1746, I believe. At this time Shadrack must have been sixteen so he would not have needed a guardian. Members of the Turner family and Meadows family were appointed as guardians. I have never found mention of a son named John as a brother of these children and do not think there was one. According to the English naming scheme the names Richard, James and Lewis would have been used before the name John. Both James and Lewis named their sons John. The scheme goes first son after father of father, second after father of mother, third after father's oldest brother, and so on; the girls were named the same only after mothers. If the Richard Turner was our Richard Turner then there is no way that Shadrack could have been born in England. I think he was born in Caroline County, VA Henry County was cut from Bedford and Franklin Counties. James Turner had moved to Bedford County from Caroline County in the late 1750's or early 1760's. I do not know who Shadrack's wife was but the popular tradition is that she was Ann Hill, especially since lots of the time brothers married sisters and I believe Meshack married a Hill, also.
1744, will lists son Richard as the heir and James as executor

Notes for George Pattillo I:
[Pattillo.FTW]
"M.A. was ordained in 1610 with honors from St. Andrews University. He became Minister of New Tyle and was succeded by his son George in 1663." (From Fasts' "Eccleastical Scotland", Vol. III, Page 756.)
George is probably descended from William Pittillo - twice Land Provost of Perth, a Burgess who had property in 1656 and George Petullo - Majister (witness to a charter in Perth, Scotland in 1525). He was later chaplain at Dundee.
His family ancestry probably also included William Pittulloch, a monk, appointed Minister to Puthven in 1521; John Pattulloch - Last Roman Catholic Priest of Abbey of Sebroath; Robert Pettilloch - commissary to Pope Pius II; Robert Pettilloch of Clermont who was ambassador from Scotland to France in 1458; Robert Pattuloch who was granted land in Sabture, France, in 1424; William Petilloch who early in the 14th century was a Scotch Herald. He was made a grant of land from David II, of Scotland, of three husbandlands in Bonjedward. Found in Exchequer Rolls of Scotland for heralds for services at tournaments, dated 1364. (Reference Fox and Davies "Guide to Heraldry").
The Pattillo name probably originated from a village, ten miles South-West of Cupar, which was formerly part of property from which territorial name was given, "De Pittilloch".

Notes for Samuel Comstock:
[Comstock.FTW]
History of Woonsocket
p.17 "Richard Arnold and Samuel Comstock were the first settlers of Woonsocket (R.I.)."
p.32 "But, April 14, 1707, the town granted to Capt. Richard Arnold and Ensign Samuel Comstock the lands which they had already occupied for so long a time."
p.32,33 "In 1731, the town of Smithfield was set off from Providence...Citizens of Western Woonsocket participated in the annual elections of Smithfield...March 8, 1871, a portion of its territory was annexed to the new town of Woonsocket."
p.39 "...a saw-mill...existed in these parts in 1666. As its builder, Richard Arnold, was at that time but 24 years of age, it is fair to infer that it was erected about that time, and that then was 'the beginning.' The first settlers, as I have said before, were Richard Arnold and Samuel Comstock -- the latter 'pitching his tent' a little west of the Union Village, and the former locating himself at the river. During their lives they held the lands in common, and no lines were drawn between their estates until many years after their death. this was done by the heirs, March 26, 1731."
p.52 Tax Payers, June 16, 1713, include: Daniel Comstock, Hazadiah Comstock, Sam. Comstock, Capt., Samuel Comstock, Jr., Thomas Comstock (Samuel and his 4 oldest sons)
p.100 Footnote: "Aug 9, 1710, Capt Samuel Comstock ordered Henry Mowry of the 2nd Company, to impress men to go with him to Port Royal." (King Philip's War?)

Vol. VIII, p.37-38. Town met again on Feb 24, 1679. The best of my understanding is that Samuel Comstock believed John Smith (mason)'s Right was purchased by his deceased father Samuel but no one appeared for the drawing of the papers so Smith has continued to pay all dues and take possession of the Right. I'm not sure what the Town decided but it seems John Smith retained his Right!
Vol XV, p.185-191 Tax Levy 1 Jul 1679. Samawell Comstocke was one of the collectors. He was listed as paying 8p.
Vol XV, p.196 15 Aug 1679.

Vol XV, p.200 27 Jan 1680. John Dexter petitions for a smal pecce of land betwen Samuel Comstocks and our hous and would have it as low as Samuel Comstockes Corner. Bill was granted at the same rate as Sam. Comstock paid. [Also noted in Vol.VIII, p.90.]

Notes for Samuel Comstock:
[Comstock.FTW]
The proof that Samuel is a son of William is circumstantial rather than direct. John and Daniel are proved by a Deed of 4 Dec 1694 when two grandsons convey land of their grandfather William Comstock. Daniel and Samuel had adjoining lots in Providence - Daniel named a son Samuel and Samuel named a son Daniel. There are a few other records that indicate a connection and no other Comstocks in the area to be considered.
In 1653 went in the "Swallow", a frigate, to Block Island and took the goods and people belonging to a Dutch captain to New London CT
Mar 11, 1655, bought a home lot of 4 acres in the northerly part of Providence from John Smith the mason, who later married his widow. [My research of the Early Town Records of Providence has shown that the widow married the SON of John Smith, the mason, also named John Smith.]

Notes for Daniel Comstock:
[Comstock.FTW]
Early Town Records show a correction of his age. 10 Feb 1667 he is accounted one year older than previously recorded - will be twelve years old the next May. So he may have been born in 1655 rather than 1656.
This is apparently the Daniel Comstock who is apprenticed out to William Carpenter until age 21 by the Town of Providence 26 Nov 1662, as recorded in "The Early Records of the Town of Providence" Vol 3. Referred to as "Daniell Comstocks, Ann Comstocks son".

Notes for Thomas Arnold:
[Comstock.FTW]
This story from Comstock book, etc:
This Thomas Arnold along with his half-brother William is the first of the Arnold ancestors to come to America. The Arnold Home Page says he arrived on the ship "Plain Joan" in 1635. According to "Genealogies of Rhode Island Families, Vol A-M, by Gary Boyd Roberts, if he sailed on the Plain Joan which sailed for Virginia on 15 May 1635, they had his age wrong.
From The Arnold Memorial:
"The Thomas Arnold who was in Watertown MA before July 1636 and who removed about 1656 to Rhode Island, is not that half brother, but is probably the son of Richard and the grandson of William and Katherine Arnold of Kelsale County, Suffolk....where his wife Phebe Parkhurst, daughter of George Parkhurst, was baptised....and where they were probably married." [This book written 1935, some time after the above theory. The author found evidence that the half-brother of William Arnold named Thomas never left England. Based on evidence given in the book, I'll go with this line.]
Thomas first settled at Watertown MA on property purchased from his father-in-law George Parkhurst. 13 May 1640 - admitted as freeman in Watertown 18 May 1658 - Date of Admission to Rhode Island Colony.

Notes for Chad Browne:
[CHAD BROWNE OF PROVIDENCE, R. I., AND FOUR GENERATIONS OF HIS DESCENDANTS]
CHAD BROWNE, the immigrant ancestor of the well-known Rhode Island family that forms the subject of this article, arrived in Boston in the early part of July 1638, in the ship Martin, accompanied by his wife Elizabeth and his son John, aged 8 years. His parentage and the date and place of his birth have not been discovered, but he married at High Wycombe, co. Bucks, England, 11 Sept. 1626, ELIZABETH SHARPAROWE, who survived him and died probably about 1672. He died in or before 1663, being mentioned as 'deceased' in a deed from William Field of that year. "On the voyage of the Martin to New England one of the passengers, Sylvester Baldwin of Aston Clinton, co. Bucks, died, having declared on 21 June his nuncupative will, which was proved on 13 July 1638 before Deputy Governor Dudley by the oaths of Chad Browne and three other men. This fixes the arrival of Chad Browne in New England as not later than 13 July 1638. In the same year he proceeded to Providence, where he was associated with Roger Williams and was a signer of the famous Compact which denied religious interference in civil affairs.
His name also appears in other agreements and compacts. In 1640 he was a member of a committee to consider the Colony bounds. He is at times called a surveyor. "In 1642 he was ordained as pastor of the First Baptist Church of Providence, the mother church of that faith in America. Whether he was first or second pastor rests entirely on one's premises. He was certainly the first ordained pastor to continue in the office for a long period. Roger Williams's connection, as preacher, in this church was certainly brief, and is not clearly understood, owing to the loss of the early records.
The oldest authority available is the 'History of the Baptists in America,' by Morgan Edwards, compiled about 1772. The author says: 'Williams was pastor from the establishment of the church until he left the Colony for England in 1643, and he then resigned it to Messrs. Brown and Wickenden. Mr. Chad Brown died between 1660 and 1665, leaving the church in charge of his colleague.' "For a brief summary of Chad Browne's character one can do no better than to quote the remarks of Hague in his 'Historical Discourse' delivered at this church: 'Contemporary with Roger Williams, he possessed a cooler temperament, and was happily adapted to sustain the interests of religion just where that great man failed. . . We know only enough of his character to excite the wish to know more; but from that little it is clear that he was highly esteemed as a man of sound judgment and of a Christian spirit.
Often referred to as the arbitrator of existing differences, in a state of society where individual influence was needed as a substitute for well digested laws, he won that commendation which the Savior pronounced when he said, "blessed are the peace-makers, for they shall be called the children of God."' "The home lot of Chad Browne was at the corner of the present Market Square and College Street in Providence, and Brown University now occupies part of that lot. He was buried on his own ground (a spot now occupied by the Court House), whence his remains were removed in 1792 to the North Burial Ground, where the gravestone then erected may still be seen, with the following inscription: 'In memory of Chad Brown Elder of the Baptist Church in this town. He was one of the original Proprietors of the Providence Purchase Having been exiled from Massachusetts for Conscience Sake He had five sons John, James, Jeremiah, Chad and Daniel Who have left a numerous Posterity. He died about A.D. 1665. This Monument was erected by the Town of Providence.'
"Chad Browne left a will, as is shown by references in deeds, but its contents are unknown to us. The year 1672 witnessed a general adjustment of his estate, caused most probably by the death of his widow near that time, lands being thus released which the conveyances state had been left to her by her husband and were to revert to his sons after her death.
The records of the Town of Providence mention a Chad Brown as present at the drawing of various land allotments at intervals from 1675 to 1683, but whether they refer to the first Chad Browne's son of the same name or were drawn by proxy in his own right of ancient holdings is not clear. Chad Browne, Sr., owned large parcels of land in the present Glocester, Scituate, and Johnston. There appears no record otherwise of this son Chad, except the reference on his father's gravestone. "Abundant proof is on record of the paternity of the three sons John, Jeremiah, and James.
There appears no definite statement relating to the son Daniel, but he has always been considered by all authorities a son of Chad Browne, and the use of the name Chad among his descendants seems to substantiate the fact. No mention appears of daughters in the family, although the presumption is that there were daughters. Two peculiarities are noted in the study of this family, the infrequent use of the name of its founder among his descendants and the very prompt abandonment of their father's faith by the majority of his near kindred. Two of his sons became devoted adherents of the Church of England and many of his descendants at a later interval were Quakers."

He was elected to the general assembly in 1679, was clerk and speaker of the assembly until 1693, was commissioned to reply to a letter of the King as to the condition of affairs in Rhode Island, and to answer the questions of the lands of the Priory council. He was councillor, 1680-1712; state auditor in 1697 and 1704; chairman of a commission which compiled and published the laws of the colony in 1717; was again assemblyman, 1700-08, and deputy governor, 1715-21 during which time he was sent to England to bring before the king the boundary disputes between Rhode Island, on one hand, and Connecticut and Massachusetts on the other.

(from http://www.wizard.net/~aldonna/galdrich.htm)
George Aldrich was born at Derbyshire, England, in about 1605. He is said to be the son of George Aldrich and Joan Thurgood. He married Katherine Seald September 3, 1629, in Derbyshire, England. She was born in about 1610. They came to America in November 1631 probably on the ship Lyon, first settling in Dorchester, Mass. On February 24, 1640, he was granted a 20-acre parcel of land in Mt. Wollaston, which became Braintree that same year. In 1663 they came to the region which was incorporated four years later as Mendon. George and his family were among the seven proprietor families of Mendon. The family may have moved to Swansea for a few years, returning to Mendon by 1680.
George Aldrich was a tailor. He died March 1, 1683 and his wife Katherine died January 11, 1691, both in Mendon.
A tablet in Founders' Park in Mendon lists George Aldrich among the proprietors. [1]

Notes for William Comstock:
[Comstock.FTW]
By 1635 he lived in Dorchester, MA Bay Colony; in 1636 he moved to Connecticut; in 1641 he held land on Connecticut River near Wethersfield, CT.
Likely one of 26 men from Wethersfield, CT in expedition commanded by Capt. John Mason that captured the Pequot Fort killing about 500 Indians.
Moved to New London about 1649 along with sons William and Daniel. [This statement is very confusing and may be the source of the possibility about a "son William". Also Daniel went to Rhode Island near this time. In fact William appears in Court records at Hartfort in 1644 and 1649, after which he no longer is found at that location - "Connecticut Puritan Settlers" by Royal R. Hinman]
On 10 Nov 1650 at a town meeting in New London, he voted to cooperate with John Winthrop in erecting a corn mill. He also applied for a house lot 1650/51 and is a settler there by 1651. His location was on Post Hill near the corner of Vauxhall & Williams Streets [1895]. John Elderkin whose daughter married Daniel Comstock adjoined on the south. This was an elevated neighborhood called Waller's Hill. [From "History of New London CT" by Caulkins.]
From History of New London, pp.305-306:
"William Comstock, father of Daniel, came from Hartford in 1649 and lived to old age in his house upon Post Hill; (near north corner of Williams and Vauxhall Streets.) His wife Elizabeth was aged fifty-five in 1663. No record has been found of the death of either. His land was inherited by his son Daniel, of New London, and grandson William, of Lyme. The latter was a son of John Comstock deceased -- and his mother Abigail, in 1680, was the wife of Moses Huntley, of Lyme. It is probably that Daniel and John were the only children of William Comstock, sen., and his wife Elizabeth. John is the ancestor of the Lyme family of Comstocks, and Daniel of those of the North Parish or Montville. The latter, as appears from statements of his age, was born about 1630. His wife, whose name was Paltiah, was a daughter or step-daughter of John Elderkin. They had a son Daniel and eight daughters, who births are not recorded; but they were all baptized by Mr. Bradstreet in April and November, 1671. After this two others sons were baptized; Kingland in 1673, and Samuel in 1677."
[Have seen a possible Batism record from England - baby William, father William. Don't think this has ever been proved to be THIS William. There is also possibly another son named William that came to America, but I have not seen enough evidence nor descendants to support this theory.]
Although there is often seen the date of birth as given in this file, I doubt that it is correct. This is actually a Baptism at St. Martin in the Fields, London, for a William Comstock on this date. There is no proof this is the same man. In fact, at St. Martin in the Fields there is also a William Comstock buried there, 20 May 1598, which is much more likely this child. From "Ancestry of Colonel John Harrington Stevens & Frances Helen Miller" by Mary Lovering Holman, 1948.
Came to America with 4 or 5 of his children

Notes for George Parkhurst:
[Comstock.FTW]
Said to have resided in Ipswich, County Suffolk, England, and came to New England about 1635. Likely his wife died in England. He was in Watertown, MA in 1642 but by Oct of 1645 had moved to Boston. He sold his Watertown property between 1645 and 1655 and one grantee was in son-in-law Thomas Arnold. Other children were George, Benjamin, Joseph, Deborah, Elizabeth, Mary.
"Beekman Patent" book lists his spouse as Susanna with no other information. Ancestral file gives Phebe with date of marriage, etc.
[The Family Face, by Michael Leete, http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/l/e/e/Michael-Leete/index.html? Welcome=991659983 ]
George Parkhurst first appeared in New England at Watertown in 1642. There is no mention of Phoebe, his wife, and she may have died before he left England. John Simson of Watertown, MA was buried on 10 June 1643 and George Parkhurst married his widow Susanna some time between November 1643 and November 1644. She left him about ten years later and returned to her family in London. He sold the remains of her former husband's property and seems to have returned to England shortly after 13 June 1655 and probably died in 1675 in Ipswich.

The name Pray is derived from the French Pre, which means "meadow", and was first taken as a surname by those who were early residents at a place so-called in France. Since the Pray family came to America from England, the inference is that the name was taken into England by the French Prostestants or Hugenots in the 16th century.
Quentin came to Lynn with Richard in 1645. He was still a resident of that place in 1655 and was one of the earliest settlers at Braintree, ME, where he is believed to have left at least one child, a daughter named Hannah. REF: Genealogy of Pray Family of Rhode Island, RI Historical Library.

Notes for Rev. Obadiah Holmes:
Obadiah Holmes is the ggggg-grandfather of Abraham Lincoln (through daughter Martha].
["The Lincoln Kinsman", Nbr 23 published by Lincolniana Publishers, F.t Wayne, IN]
Reverend Obadiah Holmes, the pioneer, landed at Salem Massachusetts, about four years after Captian Bowne, so...can be traced back to Salem, where Samuel Lincoln landed in 1637.
Obadiah was born at Preston, Lancaster, England in 1606, the son of Robert Holmes (spelled Hulme). Upon arriving in America in 1639 he worked at glass making in Salem for seven years....
Obadiah Holmes united with the baptists shortly after 1646 and, because of the persecutions he was obliged to undergo, moved to Newport in 1650. The following summer he was arrested for preaching doctrines contrary to the belief of the established church. He was taken to Boston and imprisoned for several weeks. Finally he was taken to the whipping-post on Boston Common and given thirty strokes with a three-corded whip which left him for weeks in a frightful physical condition. As soon as he was able he returned to the pastorate at the First Baptist Church at Newport. He preached here about thirty years, serving until the time of his death of October 15, 1682. He was buried at Middletown, five miles from Newport.
Several of the eight children migrated to New Jersey, among them his son Obadiah and his youngest daughter, Lydia Holmes Bowne, the wife of Captain John Bowne....
The Holmes were among the first land purchasers in New Jersey, Obadiah and Jonathon Holmes acquiring land as early as 1668. In 1675 a list, containing the names of those with Rights of Land due according to the concessions, contained the name of "Obadiah Holmes for self and wife 240 acres."
The Holmes family took a vital interst in political activities of New Jersey, and when a provincial Congress was called to take action on "tyrannical acts" of Great Britain in 1774, two of the delegates from Monmouth County were members of the Holmes family."

Notes for Robert Leete:
[The Family Face, by Michael Leete, http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/l/e/e/Michael-Leete/index.html? Welcome=991659983 ]
Robert Leete was the fourth son of John Leete of Eversden. He became a Fellow of St John's College, Cambridge, from about October 1545, having achieved a first class BA in 1544 and subsequently his MA in 1548. He was described as a Fellow of St John's in a Queen's College Deed of 1551[13]. As a Fellow, he was not permitted to marry and he certainly resisted the temptation until eleven weeks before the baptism of his eldest son, when he married Alice Grundy, of a Lancashire family, on 6 April 1573. He was then about 48 years old and he died sometime before 17 February 1597/8 when Administration of his estate was granted to his relict. From him are descended the whole of the Eversden Branch as we now know it.

Notes for Ruth Leete:

Ruth Leete Dalton survived her husband by more than three years, writing her will 8 December 1665. Most of her estate went to her four nieces, one of whom was Phebe (Parkhurst) Arnold.
[The Family Face, by Michael Leete, http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/l/e/e/Michael-Leete/index.html? Welcome=991659983 ]
Ruth Leete, granddaughter of John of Eversden, married Reverend Timothy Dalton, Rector of Woolverstone, on 13th June 1615 at Gislingham, Suffolk, when she was 36 or 37 years of age. Timothy Dalton was suspended by Bishop Laud in April 1636 and fled to Hampton, New Hampshire, where he founded The Church of Jesus Christ[21]. It seems that Ruth did not travel with him. His departure as a refugee will have been secret and dangerous. It is tempting to think that she might have sailed on the ship St John with the young William Leete (1612-1683) as companion and escort. The balance of probability, however, is that their points of departure and arrival remained separate and that she made the voyage in 1637. She died, without surviving issue, at Hampton on 12th May 1666 at the age of eighty-eight, leaving legacies to six of the children of her youngest sister.

Notes for Edward Wightman:
[Robert and Catherine Barnes, Genealogies of Rhode Island Families: From Rhode Island Periodicals, Volume II, published in Baltimore by the Genealogical Publishing Company in 1983]
...according to information provided by James Pierce Root of Providence, RI...Edward Wightman of Burton-upon-Trent, Stafford, England...is supposedly the son of John Wightman of Leicestershire, Burbage, England born sometime in the mid-sixteenth century. Edward Wightman has the unique distinction of being the last martyr to be burned at the stake on English soil. He was convicted on December 14, 1611 before the Bishop of Litchfield for espousing no less than some sixteen different heretical opinions, such as those of the Ebionites, the Corinthians, the Anabaptists, and the Arians (Brook, "Lives of the Puritans" vol I, p,. 66). In March of 1612, the secular power of Litchfield attempted to execute Edward Wightman by burning him at the stake. The spectacle which unfolded before the populace of Litchfield was so painful that Edward Wightman was rescued from the flames before it could burn him too badly. Finally, on April 11, 1612, Edward Wightman was put to death for his heretical opinions by burning him to ashes at the stake. He was the last in England to suffer such a fate.
[http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~legends/wightman.html]
Edward was a minister of the Six-Principle Baptist Church, which later became the faith of the first church founded in Rhode Island and the first Baptist church organized in America, the old First Baptist Church of Providence, founded 1638, of which Roger Williams was founder.
Being a non-conformist of the radical wing, the Separatists, he was destined to be persecuted. In the Spring of 1611 he was condemned to burn at the stake in the following Spring on the 9th March 1612, this through a warrant issued by King James.
Edward was reportedly the last person punished in such a manner in England.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------
Doctrines & Beliefs of Edward Wightman, as drawn from the Commission & Warrant for his execution
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------
- That there is not the trinity of persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, in the unity of the Deity.
- That Jesus Christ is not the true natural Son of God, perfect God, and of the same substance, eternity and majesty with the Father in respect of his Godhead.
- That Jesus Christ is only man and a mere creature, and not both God and man in one person.
- That Christ, our Savior, took not human flesh of the substance of the Virgin Mary his Mother; and that, that Promise, 'The Seed of the Woman shall break the serpent's head,' was not fulfilled in Christ.
- That the person of the Holy Ghost is not God coequal, coeternal, and coessential with the Father and the Son.
- That the three creeds, The Apostles Creed, The Nicene Creed, and Athanasius's Creed, are the heresies of the Nicolaitanes.
- That he the said Edward Wightman is that prophet spoken of in the eighteenth of Deuteronomy in these words, 'I will raise them up a prophet,' &c. And that, that place of Isaiah, 'I alone, have trodden the winepress;' and that place, 'Whose fan is in his hand,' are proper and personal to him, the said Edward Wightman.
- And that he the said Wightman is that person of the Holy Ghost spoken of in the Scriptures; and the Comforter spoken of in the 16th of St. John's Gospel.
- And that those words of our Savior Christ of the Sin of Blasphemy against the Holy Ghost, are meant of his person.
- And that, that place, the fourth of Malachi, of Elias to come, is likewise meant of his person.
- That the soul doth sleep in the sleep of the first death, as well as the body, and is mortal as touching the sleep of the first death, as the body is; and that the soul of our Savior Jesus Christ did sleep in that sleep of death as well as his body.
- That the souls of the elect saints departed, are not members possessed of the triumphant Church in Heaven.
- That the baptizing of infants is an abominable custom.
- That there ought not to be in the church the use of the Lord's Supper to be celebrated in the Elements of breath and Wine; and the use of Baptism to be celebrated in the Element of Water; as they are now practiced in the Church of England; but that the use of Baptism is to be administered in water, only to converts of sufficient age of understanding, converted from infidelity to the faith.
- That God hath ordained and sent him, the said Edward Wightman, to perform his part in the work of the Salvation of the world, to deliver it by his teaching, or admonition, from the heresy of the Nicolaitanes; as Christ was ordained and sent to save the world, and by his death to deliver it from sin, and to reconcile it to God.
- And that Christianity is not wholly professed and preached in the Church of England, but only in part.

Notes for John Leete:
[The Family Face, by Michael Leete, http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/l/e/e/Michael-Leete/index.html? Welcome=991659983 ]
In the words of Joseph Leete, in the first edition, 'The John Leete whose name stands at the head of the Eversden pedigree was born anterior to the origin of parish registers, or the Visitations of Heralds' and 'we think it reasonable to conclude that John Leete, whose name stands at the head of the pedigree, was recognised during his lifetime as the head of the family.' He will have been born about the year 1500. His name is mentioned in the records of the Monastery of St Albans in 1544; he had a registered Swan Mark[1]; he was named in the Will of his son Edmond in August 1551 and a fragment of his own Will, proved in 1553, has been found in Cambridge. He was buried at Little Eversden on Christmas Day, 1551. Above all, he is named in two Visitations dated 1612 and 1619 and, by extension, heads the record of 1684. His wife was Ellen (or Helen) Burgoyne whose estate, surprisingly, was Administered by her youngest son Thomas in 1564 rather than the older Robert, then living in Cambridge. Put at its lowest, this may suggest that Thomas was more conveniently placed than at Bury St Edmunds. Searches for clues among the antecedents of the Burgoyne family to connect the Eversden and Oakington Branches produced a rare example of dating a baptism before the Parish Registers were ordered to be kept. It relates to a writ to prove the age of Richard Burgoyne, son and heir of John Burgoyne: 'He was born at Cambridge 20 Dec, 20 Edw IV and baptized in the church of St Botolph in that town the same day, as John Rumbold, aged 45 and more remembers ... Joan, daughter of Henry Lete (aged 59 and more) who is 21 and more, was born the same year.[2]' In other words, Joan Lete was born in 1480 and Henry Lete, her father, was born in 1443. It also seems probable that the witnesses will have had a good reason to recollect the event if they were to be believed. For instance, that a blood relationship existed between them.
Visitations began in 1529-30 during the reign of Henry VIII. The earliest official Visitation that we have for the family is that of Suffolk in 1612. This Visitation named the three generations to 'John Lete of Berry St Edmond', the son of Thomas Leete and grandson of John Leete of Eversden. The 1619 Visitation of Cambridgeshire was entered on the claim of Giles Leete of Kingston, another grandson, and this Visitation is extended by the version in the Harleian Manuscripts to a Visitation of 1575. The Visitation that falls between 1612 and 1619, that of Huntingdonshire in 1613, is headed by Thomas Leete of Oakington and the claimant was his son, John Leete 'de Dodington, in com. Hunt.'
John Leete of Eversden had five sons. Very little is know about the second and third except that the 1551 Will of Edmond mentioned his brother Henry who was, presumably, living at that time. Thomas Leete, the youngest, is discussed in the Chapter on the Oakington Branch and the remaining two, William and Robert, had families that merit separate descriptions.
