| 211 | "At the first light of false dawn, April 6th 1794, found Chief Bob Benge of the Chickamauga Cherokee and six warriors resting behind the brow of a little hill to the rear of the home of William Todd Livingston. Actually, William Todd had died in 1776, and the plantation was occupied by his widow, Sarah, and two of their sons, Peter and Henry, and their families. Peter and Henry (Harry) were lieutenants in the Holston [VA] Militia. "A little before ten in the morning Peter and Henry left their house to go to a barn that was at some distance away. Sarah was working in her garden. Henry's new wife of only three weeks, Susannah, who was called 'Sukey', was in an out building with some of Peter and Elizabeth's children. Also, within the farm yard were Elizabeth's sister Sukey, a 'wench' with her child, a Negro man belonging to Edward Callihan, and a Negro boy aged eight. Elizabeth, along with her children aged ten and two and a suckling infant were in the house. "Elizabeth was alarmed by a dog's barking and saw seven frightfully painted Indians come running through the farm yard, and she barred the door to the cabin shut. The Indians tried unsuccessfully to knock the door down, and failing that Benge demanded that she open it. When she did not do so, they fired twice at it, with one ball piercing the door, but doing no damage. Elizabeth then took her husband's double triggered rifle down, and for a time fumbled with the mechanism before she, too, fired blindly through the door. The Indians backed off a little, and then sat fire to an adjoining old house. After enduring the smoke as long as she and the children could, Elizabeth opened the door and came out. The Indians thought that a man had fired the shot from within the house and were afraid to enter it, and let it burn down instead. Elzabeth was glad to see her possessions go up in smoke rather than to see the Indians have them. "Benge and his war party tomahawked Sarah in her garden. She took four days to die. Also tomahawked were one white child and two colored; one of whom was killed but the other recovered. The Indians rounded up the remainder, which were Elizabeth, the three children who had been with her in the house, Susannah, two Negro men, and one colored woman. "Elizabeth handed her infant to her ten year old, and whispered for her to take it and her two year old to their nearest neighbors, John and Rachel Russell. Rachel was the sister of Vincent Hobbs, Jr. It seems that the Indians were content to allow the children to slip off. "When Henry and Peter Livingston saw the smoke from their burning home, they hurried back and discovered the disaster. The plan to mousetrap Benge that had been organized by Vincent Hoobs, Jr. after Benge's raid of the year before was set in motion. "Either late on the seventh or early on the eighth [of April 1794], Vincent Hobbs, Jr. and a party of militia consisting of men from both the Benham's Fort party and from the Lee County Militia left Yoakum's Station and started for the two passes in Cumberland Mountain that he had found the year before. The party consisted of Vincent Hobbs, Jr. and his brothers Job and Absolom, James Huff, John Benbever, Adam Ely, Samuel Livingston, George Yokum, _____ Dotson, and five others. [On the morning of 9 April, 1794.] "The militia party soon saw the Indian party struggling up the spur of Little Stone Mountain, climbing up out of Hoot Owl Hollow toward Little Stone Gap, burdened by their plunder. Sure enough Benge was in front, preceded only by Susannah Livingston. The two parties came exactly opposite each other, when John Benbever raised his head to see if it was time for him to shoot. Benge spotted him, not forty yards away, and threw off his pack and turned to run back down the trail. Benbever fired at him and missed. Hobbs leveled his twenty pound bear rifle at a break in the trees where Benge must pass, and swinging his flintlock with his quarry and allowing for the two second delay in firing between the time he squeezed the trigger and the time it fired, he shot at the cross in Benge's suspenders as he flashed past the opening. At the moment of the shot, Benge stepped into a hole created by the roots of a tree that had fallen down, and Hobbs' one ounce lead ball passed through his head." - Selections from BENGE!, Fleenor, Lawrence J. Jr., p 66-89. "An account of the captivity of Mrs. Elizabeth Levingstone, of Washington County, Virginia, put down in writing in her presence, and nearly in her own words: "We were all hurryed a short distance, where the Indians were very busy dividing & and putting up in packs for each to carry his part of the booty taken. I observed them careless about the children, & most of the Indians being some distance off in front, I called with a low voice to my eldest daughter, give her my youngest child, and told them all to run towards neighbor John Russell's. They with reluctance left me, sometimes halting, sometimes looking back. I beckoned them to go on, altho' I inwardly felt pangs not to be expressed on account of our doleful separation. They two Indians in the rear either did not notice this scene, or they were willing the children might run back. "Certified this 15th day of April, 1794. A.

Benge, who was part white and part Cherokee, frequently captured slaves and then resold them; he also seized white women and children who were then adopted by various Indian groups. On 6 Apr. 1794, Benge attacked the Henry and Peter Livingston farm on the Holston River, took several residents prisoner, and marched them northeast. Three days later, when they entered the Powell Mountain gap just south, Lt. Vincent Hobbs and eleven Lee County militiamen ambushed them, killed Benge with the first volley, and freed the captives." - Virginia Historical Highway Marker X-22, "Benge's Gap", location in current Wise County, 36°54'46" N, 082°42'07" W. | HOBBS, Capt.

He went to K.U. for two years, and then through no fault of his own he was taken. He was such a good kid. "Several boys gathered at a usual drug store in Olathe. One boy had a new motorcycle, and each boy was taking turns, and when it came time for Bobbie, he made it, but as he was coming back it started raining.

John Syme at the death of his mother, Mildred Meriwether, became possessed of her immense estate, but which by the cooperation of his father and Patrick Henry and his yielding and accommodating disposition, he was induced to sign away to his father, Col. John Syme, for a very inadequate consideration. It happened that his father, Col. John Syme, had sustained some heavy losses in aid of the Revolutionary War in an official capacity, and not having it in his power to meet the demands against him, he most unrighteously undertook to make sale of his son's, Capt. John Syme's, vast landed estate before his son, Capt. John Syme, became of mature age. Entering into covenant bonds to those to whom he had sold his son's property, with Patrick Henry and one John Hawkins as his securities, that his son, Capt. John Syme, on his arriving at mature age would ratify & make good all the sales he had made. The interposition of numerous friends was exercised to prevent Capt. John Syme from ratiffing or fulfilling his father's, Col. John Syme's, sales of his immense property during his minority, but the persuasive powers of Patrick Henry over him, and he was induced to yield up his vast claims & remained possessed of moderate fortune." - Dr. William COCHRAN, 17 November 1841 | SYME, Capt.

He was born in Goodland county, Virginia, in 1810, and consequently at his death was seventy-two years of age. He emigrated to this city in 1836 and was well known to the older citizens. He practiced law for a number of years at the Louisville bar and was the first Judge of the Jefferson County Court elected under the present constitution of the State. Twice he was re-elected to this office, which he filled with ability and credit. Owing to feeble health he had been confined to his home during recent years and took no part in active life. He was a man of great simplicity and purity of character, and in his death passes away another of that old school which is fast fading from our midst. Judge Garland was an Episcopalian, and was a member of the Masonic order, having been one of the charter members of Compass Lodge. He was married and leaves several children." | GARLAND, Judge Edward Jr. (I245)

Robert Overton] son, William Overton, came to Virginia in search of his father about 1669 and failing to locate him, remained in Hanover County [New Kent County], Virginia, where in 1670 he brought over his fiancee, Elizabeth Waters, daughter of Samuel and Ann Waters of St. Sepulcher, London, England, and they were married on board the ship November 24, 1670, it having cost him fifty pounds of tobacco for her passage from England to America.

| 258 | "The Russell family, in England, is of great antiquity. It was originally of Normandy, where the name was Du Raze'. Wiffin in his Memoir of the House of Russell, says: 'It derives its distinctive appellation from one of the fiefs which the first chieftain of that name possessed, anterior to the Conquest of England by William the Conqueror, in Lower Normandy, in the ancient Barony of Briquebec. In 1066, they occupied the castle and territory of Du Rozel, which a portion of their appendage, as a younger branch of the Bertrands, Barons of Briquebec; a house, the head of which took the title of Sire, being accounted second only in rank to the Barons of St. Sauveur, who were styled Vis-cout es of 1,a Manche.' "Hugh Du Rozel, who appears to have been the first of the name, was born about 1021. Soon after the Norman Conquest, the Du Rozels crossed the channel into England, where they had lands assigned them in Northumberland, and where the name became anglicized into Russell." - Early Settlers of Lee County, Virginia and Adjacent Counties, Volume II, p 690 | RUSSELL, Capt.

One summer I got burned on my stomach by a firecracker or Roman Candle due to their carelessness. Another fishing trip Virginia and I were in a boat with our Dad [Walter Scott RUSSELL] and two other uncles around midnight when one uncle flipped a fish right in my lap. I nearly fell out of the boat. Last time I went with them. "One time Uncle Charlie [Charles OTT] and Aunt Myrtle [Myrtle RUSSELL OTT] were visiting us on Cherry Street in Olathe and we were waiting on my Dad to come home from the store so we could go to eat. Uncle Charlie was tired of waiting and went outside and made a hog calling noise that would put your ears out of order. Here came Dad down the street. Said he heard someone calling pigs when he turned the corner on Cherry Street. "The Russells went on buying trips for their stores in the summer. They would order Christmas things on these trips.

| 260 | "There is a puzzling story in connection with the tombstone of Geddes Winston. Out in the church yard of old St. John's, the oldest burying ground in Richmond, there are only three stones that antedate the close of the Revolution (see note). The next oldest, after these three, according to the inscribed date, recites that Geddes Winston died in 1784. "In contrast with this, Mr. Rutherfoord's autobiography states that after he had met Sallie Winston in 1787 and married her in 1790 (Parson Blair tying the knot), Mr. and Mrs. Winston came to live with him at his house in Richmond, and that Mr. Winston died there in 1794 or 1795. "The discrepancy is probably explained by an entry in the St. John's Vestry Book, June 2, 1896. Three gentlemen re-quested permission "to replace the present tombstone erected to their ancestor, Geddes Winston, who died June 9, 1784, which is about to fall to pieces from age." The date on the stone seems to have become illegible, and the mistake made in re-placing it." - Partial quote (p 39) from the Virginia Historical Magazine, January 1934, p 34-40, "Laurel Grove - The Home of Geddes Winston" by Arthur Gray | WINSTON, Geddes (I299)

| 264 | "To prove the authenticity of the noble lineage of the Crawfords as presented in this book, as recognized in America, the compiler has qualified for the Magna Charta Barons, and Magna Charta Dames. He has entered the Crawfords, Bernards, Thorntons, Woods, and other families in The Sovereign Colonial Society of Americans of Royal Descent, so that members of the families in this book may qualify for such membership if they choose to do that. In the descent from the Sureties, John Crawford was descended from the Plantagenets. In his descent from William Marshall, Regent and Protector of England, Earl of Pembroke, born 1153, died May 14, 1219, married Isabel de Clare, daughter of Richard de Clare, Earl of Pembroke, known as "Strongbow"; he is also descended from French Royalty. His descent from these English Norman families comes through the sister of King Robert Bruce, the great granddaughter of Marshall, the "greatest Knight of the Age". Through her he was descended from King Malcolm III., of Scotland, the grandson of Crinan Erevine and his wife Beatrice MacAlpine, founders of the long ruling family of Scotland which ruled until the female blood took over in the rule of King John Baliol. Bruce represented another Female line of this ruling family. Through Saint Margaret Athling, daughter of Edward the Outlaw, the wife of King Malcolm III, it is interesting to note that he is descended not only from the heirs of the Saxon throne of England, but also from Jaroclaus, Prince of Russia, and Saint Olaf Thygvesson, King of Norway. More than that he was descended from the noble Scottish families of Abernethy, Bruce, Colquhoun (Calhoun), _____, Erskine, Keith, Lennox, Murray, Ross, Semphill and Stewart. All of the above is to be given in detail in the chapter of this book showing descent from Scottish Nobility. In addition to those the Crawford Family is descended from Sir Robert Crichton of Sanguhar, knight of Barony of Uchiltree, but the lineage of the family has not been found by this compiler and leaves something for you to find, if interested in doing some research. This is also true of this gr-gr-grandmother Eufame Wallace, but since Sir William Wallace's mother is a Crawford, it would be a safe wager that she was of the same family. He is descended from James I, King of Scotland, and Edward III, King of England." - Charles Barnett Lampkin Jr., Descendants of John Crawford, 1643, 1970, p 4-6. | CRAWFORD, John Sr. (I3940)

As soon as the situation was discovered the family was so alarmed that they soon gave the alarm to the neighborhood and in a very short time not less than fifteen men were out hunting for her and continued the search until midnight, when they were driven in by a heavy rain. Search was instituted early next morning and after a few hours search she was found in an old briar field about 1,000 yards from the house. When found she was barefooted, the only part of her foot gear remaining on her was a portion of one stocking leg, while her other clothing was torn almost to pieces by the briars and bushes, and she was nearly frozen, having remained out in the rain all night.

But some have Miss Garland being born in Boston, MA and marrying in VA, even though most sources have Thomas the son (I20614) born in England. I haven't found mention of 2 wives for the father. Issue 3: Siblings - Sources have varying combinations of the following: Robert, John and William. Some sources have William as a son of Thomas (I20616) as does our database, instead of a sibling. Issue 4: Wife - Sources are split between Mary Dabney (I20615), daughter of Cornelius Dabney and either Edith ____ or Susanne ____, or his wife being a Mary Garland. Issue 5: Children - Most sources list Thomas (1705-1738) (marriage?), Col. John (1706-1778) (see below), Agnes (1712-1777) (married John Waller III) and Sarah (1714-1772) (married John Minor Jr.). Our database lists John, William, Thomas and Sarah. John Carr (1706-1778), Meriwether Database ID: I12141 Col. John Carr's second wife was Barbara Overton (ID: I13606). They married in 1737. One of their sons, Dabney Carr (1743-1773) (ID: I13607), married Martha Jefferson, sister of Thomas Jefferson. Issue: First Wife - Sources are split between Mary Garland (ID: I20618), and a Mary Dabney. Most say there was one son, yet another Thomas, born in 1735 at the same time the wife died. | CARR, Thomas Sr. (I5828)
