17152 NOTE 1./ 1864 CENSUS FOR RE-ORGANIZING THE GEORGIA MILITIA

SCHLEY COUNTY
13th Senatorial District-785th Militia District (later known as Lickskillett)

The re-organization of the militia for the state of Georgia, was by most at the time, felt to be vital for
the protection of the citizens of Georgia, during the later days of the war. All efforts to raise a militia
during these times met with failure as each time a unit was raised, it was taken into the Confederate Army. What was left at home, for the most part, were women, children, sole surviving sons, aged, invalids, recovering wounded, and those previously found unfit for service, for one reason or another. There was no homefront protection. There was no army of last resort.

This statewide census was ordered by Gov. Joe Brown in an attempt to find the necessary human and physical resources to provide a home guard.

Nearly opposite this old hostelry stands the Deaf and Dumb Asylum. This admirable institution, the foundation-stone of which was laid by the Duke of Gloucester in 1807, is a large but plain and unpretending edifice, separated from the roadway by a grove of trees. Miss Priscilla Wakefield, in her "Perambulations," published in 1809, commences one of her "letters" as follows:—"We continued our excursions into the county of Kent, stopping on the Kent Road to view a handsome building now erecting for the Asylum for poor Deaf and Dumb Children, an unfortunate class of persons, too long overlooked, or ineffectually commiserated among us. The applicants becoming so numerous that not onehalf of them could be admitted, it was resolved to extend the plan. A new subscription was set on foot for the purpose, and the present building was raised, without encroaching on the former funds of the institution." This asylum or school was the first established in England for the Deaf and Dumb, and was originally opened in 1792, in Fort Place, Bermondsey, under the auspices of the Rev. John Townsend, of Jamaica Road Chapel, and of the Rev. H. C. Mason, then curate of Bermondsey, both of whose names are perpetuated by Townsend Street and Mason Street, on either side of the Asylum. "The teacher," as Timbs tells us in his "Curiosities of London," "was Joseph Watson, LL.D., who held the situation upwards of thirty-seven years, and counted upwards of 1,000 pupils, though he commenced with six pupils only. In 1807 the first stone of a new building was laid in the Old Kent Road, whither the establishment was removed in the year 1809; and the Society celebrated the event by a public thanksgiving at the church of St. Mary Magdalen, Bermondsey, the Rev. C. Crowther preaching the sermon. A memorial bust of the Rev. Mr. Townsend has been placed in the committee-room. The pupils, male and female, are such children only as are deaf and dumb, not being deficient in intellect. Other children are admitted on payment of £20 annually for board; and private pupils are also received. The term of each pupil's stay is five years; they are taught to read, write, draw, and cipher, to speak by signs, and in many instances to articulate so as to be clearly understood. They are wholly clothed and maintained by the charity, are instructed in working trades, and in some cases apprentice-fees are given. The Asylum is amply supported by the wealthy; and besides its annual receipts from subscriptions, donations, and legacies, &c., it has some funded stock. The pupils are elected half-yearly, without reference to locality, sect, or persuasion. The importance of this Asylum is attested by the fact that in 1833, in twenty families of 159 children, ninety were deaf and dumb."

17159 NOTE 1./ <>
The senior James Matthews, a Virginian by birth, was a prominent Baptist minister of Wilkes
County, Georgia, where he resided when his son James was born. The father brought up his children
in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, and manifested a peculiar anxiety for their salvation.
His hope in this regard, however, was delayed until they were all grown and chiefly settled in families.
James, the son, was the first of the household in whose conversion these parental solicitudes found
their fruition. He united with the Clerk's Station church, in that county, in 1825. His mind was
drawn to the ministry from the earliest stages of his Christian experience, and his ordination occurred
four years later in 1829. For ten years he prosecuted his pulpit labors with faithfulness and success,
in the bounds of the Georgia Association. He moved in 1839 to Stewart County, and resided there until
his death in March, 1848, being one of the most prominent and influential ministers in the Bethel
Association, and for three sessions proceding his demise, its Moderator, namely in 1844, 1845 and 1847.
He was pastor of the Lumpkin Church for several years, of the Eufaula Church for two or three, and of
Benevolence Church, Randolph County, from its constitution until his death. His removal to Stewart
County led to a great increase of his zeal in the ministry. There were then but few churches in that
part of the State, and the vast amount of destitution impressed him with the importance of engaging at
once more fully in the work of preaching and organizing new churches. He delighted in holding protracted meetings, was always ready for whatever evangelistic service he could render for the diffusion of saving truth, and saw the crown of a marked blessing from the Lord placed on his humble but earnest life.

NOTE 2./ JamesJr Newton Mathews, Rev

Rev. James Mathews entered the ministry when a young man, and for a time preached in "Wilkes county. Moving from there to Stewart county, he bought a plantation in the vicinity of Lumpkin, and for many years carried on farming with the help of slaves. He held pastorates in Lumpkin and Benevolence, and served as one of the first moderators of the Bethel Association. He died whenbut fifty years old, on his home plantation. He married Kiturah Pope, a descendant in the sixth generation from Lieutenant Colonel Nathaniel Pope, who was styled "A Gentleman of England," the line of descent being as follows:
Lieutenant Colonel Nathaniel [2] Pope, Nathaniel [2] Pope, Nathaniel [3] Pope, John [4] Pope, John Henry [5] Pope, Capt. John [6] Pope, and Kiturah [7] Pope.

Family of David Lewis and Mary Crawford

John Lewis, the son of David and Mary, originally settled in Rowan County, North Carolina on Pole Cat Creek. He lived there with his family his whole life. David Lewis, another son of David and Mary, settled in Marinsburg, West Virginia. It is recorded that Crawford Lewis, son of David and Mary, was deeded 200 acres of land in South Carolina from his father.

Frederick County, Virginia deed Book #4, page 167 - David Lewis and wife, Mary, late of Frederick County and now of South Carolina - to Simeon Haitt of Frederick County, 150 acres being part of 184 acre tract granted to Wm. Haitt, June 20, 1751 and conveyed Wm. Haitt to David Lewis October 25, 1751, lying on the east side of Opequon Creek. Witnessed by Edward Thomas and Richard Fowler. Signed by David Lewis, September 1, 1756.

David Lewis and Mary Crawford were first found in Orange County, Virginia. In 1738 Frederick County was formed out of part of Orange County. The Lewis family lived in the section that became Frederick County. David Lewis and Mary Crawford secured two Fairfax grants. This land was on Opequon Creek in Frederick County, Virginia. It is interesting to note that David Lewis' land adjoined that of Jacob Brooks, father of Priscilla Brooks, who married David's son, John Lewis. About 1756, David Lewis and Mary Crawford sold out in Frederick County, Virginia and moved to South Carolina. David and Mary probably had a large family - but only 3 of their children have been found: David Lewis Jr., Crawford Lewis, and John Lewis.

David Lewis Jr., son of David and Mary, married Tabitha. Descendants of this family settled in Berkeley County, West Virginia.

Crawford Lewis, son of David and Mary, according to South Carolina land grants was deeded 200 acres to him by his father, David Lewis.

John Lewis, son of David and Mary, settled in Rowan County, North Carolina. This is the John Lewis who married Priscilla Brooks.

Birth certificate on file. Certificate does not name this child, neither does it name the place of birth. However, this child was born to father George Melmer, Pastry Cook, and Matilda, formerly Cooley in 1837. The informant was George Melmer, father, Railway Offices, Cheltenham on the same day as the birth.

Young Henry was present in the family household at Fairview St., St Mary`s Cheltenham, in 1841 along with his parents and siblings. He was 4 years old.

In 1851 Henry Melmer was described as a Hatter, aged 13, living with his parents and siblings at 33 St Pauls Street North, Cheltenham.

I cannot acount for Henry Melmer after the 1851 census therefore believe he went to the States. I have been informed that he did. However, he may well have been one and the same person enumerated as E F Melmer in Nebraska in 1880 - see notes for E F Melmer 1837.

POPULATION.
In 1755, the population was 2540
1793 2320

1821 2840
1831 2762
Number of families in the parish, 606
chiefly employed in agriculture 183
trade, manufactures, or handicraft 281

Since 1831, there has been a great increase in the number of the people ; and, from the accounts of their establishments, which were lately given in by the several manufacturers in the parish, we are authorized to say, that the population must now be about 3000 at least. In 1793, 138 looms are said to have been employed in the parish. From 700 to 900 of the inhabitants are now employed in weaving and winding. From 170 to 200 are employed regularly in the mills; and, with the exception of about 30, who are employed in the lime-works, the greater part which remains of the working population is agricultural. The town of Cupar is so near to Ceres, that there are few shopkeepers or venders of any commodities in the latter place.

Your orator and oratrix further beg leave to show unto your Honors that it was the express, distinct and well understood dying wish and desire of him the said Isaac Matthews that his half or undivided moiety of the said land should on his death vest in and become the absolute and unqualified right and property of him the said Daniel Matthews, your orator, and that after the death of the said Isaac, the brothers of your orator, to wit: Moses Matthews, Lewis Matthews, Hardy Matthews and Micajah Matthews, being anxious to show that the estate of their father had been settled up and divided in the spirit of peace and brotherhood, and being under the solemn impression, knowledge and understanding that their father's half of the land should be the clear and undisputed right and property of your orator, did enter into, execute and deliver to your orator the following agreement in writing under their hands and seals the original of which is now ready to be produced, that is to say "South Carolina, Edgefield County..... This is to certify that we five brothers, Moses Matthews, Lewis Matthews, Hardy Matthews, Micajah Matthews and Daniel Matthews do hereby bind ourselves in this bond of five hundred pounds sterling to stand to this sale that we are consenting to this 31st day of December, 1798. The property that was sold was part of the estate of our father, Isaac Matthews, deceased. The property is thus? one negro man, named Anthony, and another negro named Peter, a set of blacksmith's tools, and one wagon set up, and we five legatees have had a young negro a piece as we come of age and agreed before witnesses that we were satisfied to take them at one price and be even and satisfied; again we four brothers, Moses Matthews, Lewis Matthews, Hardy Matthews and Micajah Matthews, do hereby agree and bind ourselves in the above bond to give and make rights and titles to our parts of the land to our brother, Daniel Matthews, and hereto set our hands and seals," and subscribed by two witnesses, and signed and sealed by the parties, etc. That according to the above agreement and the understanding of all parties, your orator did take possession and has hitherto together with your oratrix (before and since the death of her husband Moses Matthews) kept the clear and undisputed possession of the tract of land above described although the said tract of land has never been partitioned or divided; that the said Thomas Pace who intermarried with Cabell Matthews, daughter of the said Isaac, deceased and George Fluker, who intermarried with the said Elizabeth Matthews, the other daughter of the said deceased, are perfectly satisfied with such parts of the estate of the deceased as they have received, appears by receipts and acquittances given by them, copies of which are herewith filed, marked A and B, which your orator and oratrix prays may be received as parts of their bill and referred to when necessary. That since the death of the said Isaac Matthews and also since the execution and delivery of the aforesaid agreement or instrument of writing and before any titles to the said lands have been made either to your orator or to the said Moses in his life time or to his heirs and legal representatives since his death. He, the said Moses, has deceased, leaving your oratrix, his widow, with the children aforesaid, three of whom have intermarried with William Hardy, Jacob Pope and Daniel Cureinton as aforesaid and the said Lewis Matthews has also deceased, leaving a widow, Nancy Matthews, since intermarried with a certain Bailey Crouch, but having by him the said Lewis Matthews the following named children, to?wit: Elizabeth who intermarried with Thomas Waites, by whom she had one child, Nancy, and died leaving the child now living a minor under the protection of its father the said Thomas Waites; also Sugar Jones Matthews, Cabell Matthews, Mary Quarles Matthews, Moses Matthews, Josiah Allen Matthews, Drury Matthews, Milbury Matthews, all of which said children are now under age except the first which renders it indispensible to the perfecting a good title to said land in your orator and your oratrix and her children whom she represents, to seek the aid and interference of this honorable Court to partition and divide the said land and to compel the parties interested to make good titles to said land as in equity they are bound to do. BUT NOW SO IT IS may please your honors that the said Hardy Matthews, Micajah Matthews, Nancy Matthews in behalf of herself and her said children, George Fluker, and Elizabeth, his wife, and Benjamin Carr and Cabell, his wife, combining and confederating with divers other persons at present unknown to your orator and oratrix, whose names when discovered they pray may be made parties hereto with apt words to charge them endeavoring to wrong and injure orator and oratrix in the premises that refused to make to your orator and oratrix a good title to the said tract of land in conformity with their agreement aforesaid, although they, (your orator and oratrix) have been in the peaceable and undisturbed possession of said land ever since said agreement. IN TENDER CONSIDERATION WHEREOF and for as much as your orator and oratrix are remediless in the premises by the strict rules of the common law and cannot compel a partition and specific performance of said agreement but by the aid and assistance of this honorable court where matters of this nature are properly cognizable and relievable. TO THE END THEREFORE, that the said Hardy Matthews, Micajah Matthews, Nancy Matthews, the widow of Lewis, in behalf of herself and her said children, George Fluker and Elizabeth, his wife, and Benjamin Carr and Cabell, his wife.

"And their confederates when discovered may upon their corporal oaths true direct and perfect answers make to all and singular the matters aforesaid, and that as fully and particularly as if the same were herein again repeated and interrogated, and more particularly that they may set forth and discover whether the said Isaac Matthews did not die intestate leaving the children aforesaid and possessed of the tract of land before particularly described; whether it was not conveyed from the grantee to John Chestnut and whether the said Isaac and his eldest son, Moses, did not before either of their deaths jointly purchase said tract of land; whether they did not pay for it; each of them in equal proportions, and whether it was not the express and distinct understanding and agreement of the said Isaac and Moses that he, the said Moses, should actually own, possess and enjoy one?half of said land in his own right and whether he, the said Moses, did not thereupon take possession of a part of the said land and whether himself in his life time and his widow since his death have not constantly been in possession of the same although the titles and deeds were executed and delivered to the said Isaac Matthews alone, and whether it was not the express agreement and understanding that titles should be made to the said Moses by the said Isaac of one?half of the land at some convenient time thereafter upon a division or partition of this land. That the said defendants may further particularly disclose and set forth whether it was not the distinct, frequently expressed and well known dying wish and desire of him, the said Isaac Matthews, that your orator, Daniel Matthews, should not, after the death of the Isaac, own, possess and enjoy his half of the said land, and whether the said Moses, Lewis, Hardy and Micajah did not make and execute the deed before set forth binding themselves to make good titles of their parts of the said land to your orator, Daniel Matthews, under a solemn understanding of their said father's will and desire; whether your orator, Daniel Matthews, did not in conformity thereto take possession of said land and whether he has not ever since said agreement kept the constant and uninterrupted possession of the said land. That they or either of them may further declare whether the said Moses and Lewis Matthews have not both died leaving the children and heirs before set forth without ever having made titles to your orator of the said land in pursuance of their agreement, and whether said land has ever been partitioned or divided. That they or either of them may declare further whether Thomas Pace who intermarried with Cabell Matthews, did not give the receipt and acquittance, a copy of which is herewith filed, marked A, and whether this was not done with the knowledge and by the consent of the said Cabell Pace, his wife, and whether she was not then and is not now fully satisfied with such part of the estate of her deceased father as has come into the hands of herself and her former husband. That the said George Fluker, and Elizabeth his wife, may declare whether the said George did not give the receipt and acquittance, a copy of which is herewith filed, marked B, and whether himself and his wife are not fully satisfied and content; that good and sufficient titles should be made to the land as is hereinbefore claimed after partition of the same, and that every and all parties aforesaid may declare whether they are not satisfied and willing that titles should be ordered and decreed by this honorable Court in the manner claimed and set forth by your orator and oratrix. May it therefore please your honor to grant to your orator and oratrix writ of subpoena to be directed to the said Hardy Matthews, Micajah Matthews, Nancy Matthews, in behalf of self and her children aforesaid, and the said Thomas Waites in behalf of himself and his child, Nancy, George Fluker and Elizabeth, his wife, Benjamin Carr, and Cabell, his wife, commanding and inquiring them under a certain penalty to be therein named personally to be and appear before your honors in this honorable Court on the 3rd day of October next ensuing and then and there particular answers make to all singular the matters and things herein contained; and that the said lands hereinbefore particularly mentioned and described may be ordered to be partitioned and divided by writ or partition to be issued from this honorable Court and that all and every the parties interested aforesaid including your oratrix, Martha Matthews, in behalf of her minor children, Enoch, Mary, Budcade, William, and Eleanor whom she represents by the order of this Court, and the said William Hardy and Anna, his wife, Jacob Pope, and Elizabeth, his wife, and Daniel Cureinton and Cabell, his wife, whom she represents by special power of attorney may be ordered and directed to make to your orator, Daniel Matthews, good and sufficient titles to one?half of said tract of land in such way and under such circumstances as this honorable Court may deem equitable and expedient in pursuance of the agreement before set forth.

Grampa Erskine was a plumber by trade but a very talented carpenter and builder. Built the house, barn, boat greenhouse and farmed his land. He was very intelligent. He was with the First Hussars and participated in the invasion of Normandy on D-Day, landing on Juno Beach. He never talked about the war so other than that I don't know much.

About the 1841 Census

The colony of Prince Edward Island grew swiftly through the first half of the nineteenth century. It was a time when emigrants poured out of the British Isles. Many Scots came because of the foreclosure of their ancient rights on the land. Irish made the perilous crossing of the North Atlantic owing to worsening economic conditions and in the late 1840s because of famine. The English and Welsh emigration, though not as dramatic, was steady and brought many new farmers, shipbuilders and merchants.

The increase was so rapid that the government had lost track of just how many people there were in the province. Earlier census were of little assistance. The last had been held in 1833 but even as little as eight years later the Island population had boomed.

As important as the people were the other things that were included in the "statistical survey". The degree to which the Island was producing crops and livestock, the number of schoolhouses and grist mills and distilleries, the number of deaf, blind and insane. All of these were seen as important for planning for the community.

There was not universal agreement about the census. Prince Edward Island was in the middle of periodic concern about the land tenure system which saw almost all of the land owned by large landlords and leased rather than sold to the tenants. This made the colony different from others in North America where the usual pattern was freehold tenure with farmers owning rather then renting their land. The legislation was held up while the House of Assembly and the Legislative Council debated what should be asked. The upper house wanted more questions which would show how landowners were receiving little return on their investment. The result was a compromise. The resulting census included questions about the repayment of passage money advanced to tenants and not repaid.

In the early summer of 1841 the census takers traveled the Island counting people, sheep and potatoes among other things. They were paid 10 shillings per hundred persons and 20 shillings per township for traveling expenses. Most earned less than 20 pounds for their efforts. The statistical results were published as an appendix to the Journals of the House of Assembly in 1842 and the original books were relegated to attic storage. Over the years, because of moves and carelessness many volumes were lost.

17182 NOTE 1./ Kemp of Williamsburgh, Craven Co., SC, Bladen and Anson Cos., NC and Wayne Co., GA compiled by Worth Shipley Anderson July 19, 1997:
William Kemp's origins are unknown. He appears to have been a small yeoman farmer, albeit a slaveholder. He signed all of his deeds with a mark, indicating he was illiterate, as was his wife.

William Kemp's first known appearance is at the 1736 christening of his daughter Sarah in Prince Frederick Parish, Winyaw, Craven Co. (modern Williamsburg Co.), SC.(1) He served as a petit juror in Prince Frederick Parish in 1737.(2)

On 25 Sept. 1738 William Kemp, planter, of Williamsburgh Twp., Craven Co., promised to deliver to Francis Goddard two tracts of land in Williamsburgh Twp.: one of 300 acres "lately surveyed" and in the possession of William Kemp and one of 150 acres "lately surveyed" and granted to Francis Turbeville. In return Goddard was to give Kemp three slaves. The agreement was witnessed by William Trewin and Samuel Fley

By early 1746 William1 Kemp had moved to what was then Bladen Co., NC, near Cape Fear. On 13 March 1745/6 William Kemp of Bladen Co. was "admitted to prove his rights", presumably headrights to a land grant for bringing 8 whites into the colony. Also proving their rights from Bladen Co. were John McCoy, with 5 whites and 3 blacks, "Jno. McCoy for Wm McCoy", with 3 whites, and John Hornbeck, with 4 whites.(6) The previous day, on 12 March 1745/6 William Kemp had petitioned for a 640-acre warrant in Bladen County.(7) On 21 June 1746 he received a patent for 640 acres on the south side of the Great Pee Dee River, "joining the River and a point below Canew [?] Landing."(8) As discussed below, this entire tract, which lay near an Indian grave, was sold in pieces by William Kemp's heirs to Benjamin Clark of Louisa Co., VA.

William Kemp witnessed a deed of land on the south side of the Great Pee Dee from John Giles of Johnston Co., NC, to Henry Walker of Bladen Co. on 24 Oct. 1748.(9)

On 5 April 1749 he petitioned for a warrant of 400 acres in Anson Co., NC,(10) which was cut off from Bladen Co. in 1750. The patent was granted on 14 April 1749 for 400 acres in Anson Co., on the S side of the Great Pee Dee River and on both sides of Mill Creek.(11) He evidently leased part of this tract to Andrew Cox, as on 26 Sept. 1749 William Kemp sold 150 acres of the 400-acre grant, "including the plantation Andrew Cox now lives on", to Cox for 8 pounds. The deed was witnessed by William's son, John2 Kemp, and John Conaway.(12

On 6 April 1750 William Kemp was granted 300 acres in Bladen Co., on the S side of the Great Pee Dee River and joining his other lands and the River.(14)

A few days after receiving this grant, on 20 April 1750, he made his will. In it he left his wife Elizabeth one gray horse and one strawberry roan horse, and named her executrix. William1 Kemp's will names his five sons, John, William, Thomas, Joseph and Stephen, his daughter Sarah, and an orphan committed to his care, Sarah Walbrook. The will disposes of two tracts of land in Craven Co., SC, on Black Mingo Creek, and land over the River bought of John Stafford. It also bequeaths the 213 acres on the Pee Dee bought from Solomon Hughes and adjoining Andrew Moreman to William2 Kemp, Jr. The will was witnessed by Andrew Moreman, Jno. Stafford and Anthony Hutchins, and proved 3 Oct. 1750.(15)

The two tracts of land on Black Mingo Creek in SC comprised 300 acres.(16) Their eventual dispositions, and the disposition of the 300 acres in Bladen Co. received in the 1750 land grant are not known.

Elizabeth (--?--) Kemp survived her husband by a few years. John2 Kemp sold his mother 200 acres adjoining where she lived, one gray mare with young colt and two cows and calves, in order to clear a debt of 30 pounds, on 22 June 1751. The deed was witnessed by George King and Joseph2 Kemp, who made his mark.(17)

Elizabeth Kemp, widow of William Kemp, sold Thomas Tomkins 100 acres on the south side of the Great Pee Dee River on 20 Dec. 1752, signing with her mark. Witnesses were Ambrose Steele and Andrew Cox.(18)

On 2 June 1754 Elizabeth Kemp joined John2 Kemp in giving Thomas2 Kemp a power-of-attorney to dispose of land. However, the Elizabeth referred to may have been John2 Kemp's wife, rather than his mother.

The children of William and Elizabeth (--?--) Kemp were (birth order largely uncertain; "born before" dates based on the assumption the individual was of legal age (at least 21 years old) at the time of his earliest known land transaction):

i. John Kemp, born before 1729; died after 1805. He may have married Elizabeth --?--. On 23 Oct. 1750 John2 Kemp witnessed a deed from John Williams of Craven Co., SC, to William Rodes, a minor of same, of 300 acres. The deed also mentions Rodes' sisters, Martha, Anne, Hannah and Elizabeth. Anthony Hutchins was the other witness.(19) On 30 Nov. 1751 240 acres of William1 Kemp's 640-acre land grant was sold by John2 Kemp, who had inherited it, to Christopher and Benjamin Clark of Louisa Co., VA, for 60 pounds. The deed from John2 Kemp was witnessed by Andrew Moorman, and Andrew Moorman, Jr.(20) On 2 June 1754 John and Elizabeth Kemp granted a power-of-attorney to Thomas2 Kemp.(21) This may indicate that John2 Kemp was moving away from Bladen Co. but, prior to moving, had been unable to find a buyer for his property in Bladen Co. Because John2 would not be physically available to sign a deed in Bladen Co. when a buyer was found, a power-of-attorney allowing somebody else to sign the deed would have been necessary to dispose of the land.(22) John2 Kemp may have settled on his father's land in Craven Co., SC. John Kemp, son of John and Elizabeth Kemp, was born or christened 24 June 1756 in Prince Frederick Parish, Winyaw, Craven Co.(23) Presumably John2 Kemp was still alive in 1805, when he is mentioned in the will of his brother Joseph2 Kemp.(24)

ii. William Kemp, born before 1731; died after 1752. On 21 April 1752 William Kemp, planter, sold to Francis Clark of VA, for 46 pounds 6 shillings, the 213 acres on the south side of the Great Pee Dee he had inherited from his father. Witnesses were Henry Downs and M. Brown.(25) A 1 Nov. 1754 deed from Jas. MacManus to John Campbell of land on the south side of the Pee Dee mentions "William Kemps corner."(26)

iii. Thomas Kemp, born before 1731; died after 1761. On 20 Sept. 1752 Thomas2 Kempt, planter, sold to Benjamin Clark for 30 pounds 200 acres on the south side of the Great Pee Dee River, adjoining the widow Kemp's corn field and Benjamin & Christopher Clark's corner, which they had bought from John2 Kemp. Thomas2 Kemp signed his mark. Witnesses were William2 Kemp, Arthor Skipper and Benjamin Menrs.(27) On 2 June 1754 Elizabeth & John2 Kemp granted a power-of-attorney to Thomas2 Kemp regarding 150 acres on the west side of the Great Pee Dee River, on both sides of Mill Creek, adjoining Thomas Tompkins and Thomas Coil.(28) On 5 Jan. 1756 Thomas2 Kemp "now or lately of Anson Co." sold this land to John Persons for 15 pounds, signing the deed with his mark. Witnesses were Hez. Russ and John Acfie.(29) Thomas2 Kemp witnessed a deed from Edmund Cartledge of Anson Co. to Tillotson Keble on 23 Jan. 1758. The other witness was Laurence O'Bryan.(30) On 18 Oct. 1758 Thomas Kemp witnessed a deed from Edmund Cartledge to Tillotson Keble. The other witnesses were Samuel O'Bryan and Sarah Walker.(31) Thomas2 Kemp witnessed a deed from Joseph Nobbs "late of Anson" to William Cox, of Anson Co., on 24 Nov. 1761. The other witness was Isaac Brunson.(32)

+2. iv. Joseph2 Kemp, born, say, 1730/3.

v. Sarah Kemp, born or christened. 22 Sept. 1736 in Prince Frederick Parish, Winyaw, Craven Co., SC.(33)

v. Stephen Kemp, born or christened 26 July 1741 in Prince Frederick Parish, Winyaw, Craven Co., SC.(34) He moved to Augusta, GA, where he was a "Pack horse man". On 10 Dec. 1763 he sold to Joseph Kemp "of Augusta, his brother" land on the south side of the Pee Dee River adjoining Benjamin Clark. He signed the deed with his mark. Witnesses were Thos. Waters, Thomas2 Kemp and Zac. Moorman.(35) The following year, on 17 Sept. 1764, Joseph2 & Stephen2 Kemp "of Craven Co., SC, planter" sold to Benjamin Clark land inherited from their father.(36) Witnesses were Henry Snead, Zachariah Moorman and Archelous Moorman.

FLEMING, Jonet (I13043)
 
17187 NOTE 1./ Occurrences according to Donna Fratesi regarding the Lord Lismore and Lismore Castle connection:

(begin paraphrased Fratesi) A Toronto Lawyer by the name of Proudlove posted Ads in the Toronto newspapers between 1906 and 1911, looking for "a son of Charles Richard Lizmore" who had died by this time. James Lizmore responded, and literally with passport in hand, was ready to go to England or Ireland to take over the inheritance or whatever he found there, since apparently he wasn't quite sure of what, when he died. Thus the responsibility fell to Charles Richard's other son, Charles David, to take up the quest. Charles David was extremely laid back and decided that the Canadian Lizmores were being sought out, only to pay back taxes and so refused to follow up.

Donna feels that the Toronto area papers would still have a record of the Ad, looking for a son of Charles Richard Lizmore. This would still not tell you who was looking for them, however Countess Lismore, (surname O'Callahan) did die around 1900, and perhaps it took that long to probate the will and find someone to leave it to.

Fratesi knows only of these revelations 2nd hand because it was the son of James, Wilfred Lizmore who died in 1982, that had some proof. By the time Donna got any of Wilfreds papers, a lot of the stuff had disappeared including all the certificates. Wilfreds daughter claims to have nothing else, and his widow ( 2nd wife for 2 years before he died ) took everything he had, but told Fratesi that she didn't have any certificates or anything else. (end of paraphrased Fratesi)

NOTE 2./ The following is the 1881 UK census showing the turn of the century terminal line of the Viscount of Lismore, and the lands and holdings pursuant to Lizmore Castle. The following George (O'Callahan) Lismore had two sons that died in 1877 and 1898 without issue. This has no association at this point in time, but listed here only for possible future reference. The Seat of this family was at Shanbally Castle, Clogheen Co., Tipperary, with a London residence at 31 Old Burlington Street West.

NOTE 3./ From: Coats of Arms from Ireland (O) Callaghan <<>>
Cornelius O Callaghan (1742 - 97) of Shanbally Castle, Clogheen, County Tipperary, was created Baron Lismore in 1785. His son was known as the 1st Viscount Lismore and his daughter was the mother of one of the Dukes of Devonshire, whose family owns Lismore Castle.

NOTE 4./ From: Lismore Castle <<>>
Lismore Castle, the birthplace of Robert Boyle, the celebrated scientist whose name lives in "Boyle's Law"was also once the home of Sir Walter Raliegh. It is now the Irish residence of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire. You can walk through the magical and very beautiful gardens, which are extensive. The gardens are set in seven acres within the 17th century outer defensive walls. Recently several pieces of contemporary sculpture have been installed in the gardens. It is a place where you can relax and stroll. Prince John built the original castle in 1185. The Estate was granted for a time to Sir Walter Raliegh. He sold the property to Richard Boyle, later the 1st Earl of Cork, who rebuilt the castle. The present owner of the castle is Lord Harrington, the son and heir of the 11th Duke of Devonshire. Lord Harrington's great uncle Lord Charles Cavendish was married to Adele Astaire. Fred Astaire, her brother, was a frequent visitor to the castle.

My thanks to Jo-Anne who just gave us news of family that is very important to me. Cecil's brother, Russell, was my mother's first cousin and they were very close. John Melmer, (father of Cecil, Russell, Ida and Dora) was my grandmother Grace Melmer's brother and as brother and sister they were very close. John Melmer and wife Mary invited his sister Grace and her daughter (my mother, Ruth) to spend a winter with them in Florida. When Grace Melmer came to Michigan to live, whenever she went back to Canada to visit which was quite often, she most always stayed with her brother Jack and his wife Mary. Russell said when he would come home at night, he always knew when Aunt Grace was visiting as he could hear her snoring.

17191 NOTE 1./ RAIFORD ROYAL:

From T.C. Sutton, as provided by Charles C. Royal, Augusta, Georgia:
"Raiford Royal, son of Young and Edith Royal of Sampson County, N.C., was born ca 1799 NC and died 1865 in Dooly County, Ga. According to a family legend (R.A. Hendricks family record):
'Raiford Royal came to Dooly County, Georgia, in 1815 or 1820. He asked his father in Tarboro, North Carolina, to have a pair of shoes made for him. Size 14. His father told him to roll up his pants and go barefoot and get his feet tough. This made Raiford angry and he did roll up his pants and rode his mule away and came to Georgia, Dooly County. He never wore shoes again.'
My research shows that Raiford's father lived in Sampson County, N.C., and died there before 1820. Raiford was not enumerated in Dooly County census until 1830.
He married first, Nancy Odom, and by 1840 census shows 1 male age 40/0, 1 female age 40/50, 2 mages age 10/15 (unidentified), 1 female age 10/15, 1 male age 5/10 and 1 female age under 5. "
"The old home place of Raiford Royal was occupied after his death by Reason Royal and his family, then by Osborne Royal family. The old log house still remains near Lilly in Dooly County, Georgia."

1830 Census Dooly Co. GA was 21021--- 10001 (1800-1864)

NOTE 3./
Raiford and then Sabra and Robert Brown also moved to Dooly Co. GA. William had settled there and many Royal descendants in GA descend from this family. Robert Brown was a county official in Sampson but died in 1832, soon after moving to Dooly.

Raiford is said to have left home young and upset at his father over a pair of shoes. If so, This is not indicated in the Will of his father Young Royal. It is clear from the Will, that William 1785 and Wilson 1788 had moved from NC (to GA and FL).

Young Royal Will.

"Tenthly: I give and bequeath unto my beloved son Raiford Royal (1800), all the lands that I now process, except the lands that I bequeathed to my son Rezon Royal, to belong to said Raiford Royal after his mother's death. Also I give and bequeath unto my beloved son Raiford Royal, two Negro boys by the names of Simon and Jonas. Also one bed and furniture and all the plantation tools of
every description, except the blacksmith tools." (1818)
http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/nc/sampson/wills/royal07.txt

In 1845 and near the death of his mother, Raiford returned to Sampson and was upset with Travis Butler that the Will of Young Royal had not been probated. It was 50 years later before the will was probated in 1894 and everyone in the Will was then dead. Travis had married a sister of Raiford and was getting full use of the land of Young Royal that was willed to Raiford Royal. Likely, Raiford never got anything from the estate of Young Royal.

17197 NOTE 1./ THE NAME AND FAMILY OF MAT(T)HEWS "Y fynn duv a fydd."

Compiled by "The Medra Research Bureau", Washington D.C.

The name of Matthews, or Mathews is of Anglo-Saxon derivation and was originally taken from the name Mathes, in which form it is still occasionally found. The name is also found in the forms of Mathis and Mathes on the ancient records of England, Scotland, and Wales, but the first two forms mentioned above are the most generally accepted today.

Families of this name were early settled in Wales and Scotland and about the end of the sixteenth century branches of the family made their way into Ireland and England. It is said that the family is descended from Gwaethfoed, Lord of Cardigan, Wales, in the early eleventh century, who married Morfydd, daughter of the King or Lord of Gevant, and had Aydan, who had Gwilim who had Sitsylt, who had Jevan, who had Garadoc, who had Meyriao, who had Madoc, who had Griffith, who had Sir Evan, who was the father of Sir Mathew, from whom the Matthews family took its name.

Sir Mathew ap (son of) Evan was knighted in the year 1386 by King Richard the Second of England and married Janet Fleming, by whom he had David, Robert, and Lewis, of whom the first was the progenitor of the families of Mathew of Landaff Court (Earle of Landaff), Mathew of Radyr, and Mathew of the Countie of Devon and Cornwall.

Robert Mathews, second son of Sir Mathew ap Evan, resided at the Castle-Mynech, in Wales, and was the progenitor through his great-great-grandson Tobias, Archbishop of York in the early sixteenth century, of the Virginia line of the family in America. Tobias married Frances Barlow and was the father by her of Samuel Mathews, who came to Virginia at an early date and became Governor of that colony in 1657, Samuel had issue by his wife, who was the daughter of Sir Thomas Hinton, of at least two children, Samuel and Francis, and probably of others.

NOTE 2./ Cydifor -- Caradoc : <>

Cydifor, Lord of Caerphilly.
Einudd, m. Morfudd ferch Odwyn abt. 950 from the line of Ceredig ap Cunedda (see Usai ap Ceredig ap Cunedda). Morfudd, mother of Gwaithfoed of Ceredigion, but given as wife of Cloddien ap Gwrydr Hir.
Gwaithfoed Vawr, of Gwent; Prince of Cardiganshire, Lord of Cibwyr & Caredigion, married Lady Morfudd ferch Ynyr ap Meurig ap Ynyr Gwent.

NOTE3./ Gwaethvded Vawr
Was summoned to Chester by King Edgar. Lived in the 11th century. The great Prince of Cardigan, who married the Lady Morvydd, daughter and heir of Ynyr, King of Gwent. He died in the reign of St. Edward the Confessor, circ. 1057. Arms of Gwaethvoed - Or, a lion rampant regardant, sable, crowned, armed and langued gules. Crest - a blackcock proper.

Children of Gwaithfoed Vawr:
* Aeddan (Aydan) of Grosmont, m. Nun ferch Sir John Russel of Kent Church
* Y Bach, of Ynysgynwraidd (Skenfrith)
* Gwyn Anwy of Castell Gwyn & Trewyn (Whitecalste & Wynston)
* Cedryck Gwilyn.
* Cydifor, (per Welsh Genealogies)
* Ednywain, (lay Abbot of Llanbadarn Fawr, living in 1188) (per Welsh Genealogies)

"Welsh genealogies has the Mathew direct line from Aeddan ap Gwaithfoed Vawr, but other sources places the direct line from Cedryck ap Gwaithfoed Vawr, then Aeddan ap Cedryck.
"The Genealogies of Glamorgan" by George T. Clark dated 1886 states Gwaethfoed Fawr line as; Aydan ap Gwaethfoed, Gwilim ap Aydan, Sitsylt ap Gwilim, Jevan ap Sitsylt.

The Mathew line continues from:
Cedryck (Lord of Gwynfai and of Cardigan), who received as a gift from Fitz Hamon the Castle and Lordship of Ruthyn.

However, this DOES NOT MATCH the 1851 Hanworth, Middlesex, information that has been applied to family tree.
