| 108 | Ann Bland is likely the sister of Theodrick Bland. It appears that Robert II and Ann named one of their sons Theodrick in honor of Ann’s brother. Sons Robert III and Theodrick and daughter Elizabeth are mentioned in Robert Mumford II’s will. Robert II’s will dated 8 September 1743 is restated in part in the case Kennon v. McRobert (1 Va. 96, 1792 WL 335 Va. 1792). At the time of his death in 1745, Robert II owned lands called Ocheneacy Island, Finney Woods, and Cargills. He also possessed an equity of redemption in a tract of land called Whitehall containing 711 acres, which had greater value at the time of his death than the Ocheneachy Island and Finney Woods land. The Whitehall land was mortgaged to Theophilus Field, one of the named executors of his will. The other executor was his son-in-law Theodrick Bland. The will names sons Robert II, to whom be gave the lands at Ocheneachy Island and Finney Woods, and Theodrick Mumford, to whom he gave the lands at Cargill on the Roanoke River conatining 690 acres. He bequeathed his wife Ann and only daughter Elizabeth the rest of his estate real and personal. Elizabeth is identifed as the wife of the lessor of the plaintiff. Theodrick died in 1772 and Robert died in 1783. Robert III was 8 years old when his father died, placing his birth in 1737. The widow Ann remarried Currie and died in 1770. Ann and her daughter Elizabeth brought suit in Chancery to redeem the Whitehall estate and received also 830l. 16s. 4d. on that account. Tthe widow Ann and her daughter Elizabeth, along with their husbands conveyed the Whitehall etate to Theodrick Mumford for 1000 pounds, reserving the use of the moeity of the land with the houses to Mr. Currie and his wife, and to the survivor for life, and afterwards half the moeity to Mrs. M’Roberts during widowhood upon the contingency of her being widowed. No petition or severance as made between Ann and her daughter. The suit was an action for ejectment brought by M’Roberts and his wife (appellee) against Kennon (appellant), who apparently leased property from Elizabeth’s husband. The plaintiff M’Roberts and wife claimed title to the lands of Robert Mumford II through his wife Ann, who was granted the remainder of the esate of Robert Mumford II. M’Roberts and wife claimed that the land reverted to the heirs of Ann Mumford upon the deaths of Robert II and Theodrick Mumford. The issue was whether the devise of land to Robert and Theodrick in the will without words of inheritance to describe the estate being granted (e.g., in fee simple) conveys a life estate or an estate in fee simple. The district court ruled that the grant of lands in the will without words of inheritance to describe the estate being granted conveyed only a life estate to the sons of Robert Mumford II and ruled in favor of M’Roberts and wife. Kennon appealed. The Suppreme Court ruled that the grant of land to an heir without words of limitaitons conveys the land in fee simple and reversed the ruling of the district court. | Bland, Ann (I1727)

| 131 | Elias Allred Sr. and several members of his family were among the early pioneers of Hall County, Georgia. He was born on May 6, 1758 the son of Thomas and Elizabeth Allred of Orange (now Randolph) County, North Carolina. Elias died in Hall County circa 1844. He probably grew to manhood on his father's farm and in 1778 married Mary (Polly) Rigby, the daughter of John Rigby, an English emigrant. She was born circa 1757 in Virginia and died circa 1835 in Hall County. They are both buried in Bethany Baptist Cemetery. According to professional genealogist Archibald Bennett, who did extensive research in the 1940's, the Allreds were of English descent. There is a tradition among some of the Georgia Allreds that they were Huguenots and the name was originally de Alred. It is very possible that they were originally of French or Norman descent and may have landed in England as part of William the Conqueror's military force in 1066. William's wife Matilda was crowned by Alldred, who was head of the English Church during William's reign. A Huguenot connection has never been proven, although it is mentioned in Luke Tate's History of Pickens County Georgia published in 1935. During the Revolution, Elias served two terms in the Continental Army in Capt. John Hind's Cavalry Company and Col. Littrell's Regiment. He was first drafted on December 1, 1780 and discharged in March 1781. He served his second term (April 1, 1781-July 1, 1781) in place of John Sitton who was married to Sarah (Sally) Rigby, Polly's sister. According to his application for a federal pension in 1833 Elias' unit was marched to the Cheraw Hills in South Carolina where they joined Gen. Nathaniel Greene's army. His unit was then ordered to march along the Peedee River to Salisbury, North Carolina to meet and assist Col. Daniel Morgan who had just defeated Col. Bonastre Tarleton at the Battle of Cowpens and was being pursued by Lord Cornwallis. Elias' unit slowed Cornwallis' approach firing several rounds while Col. Morgan's men escaped across the river. The rest of Elias' service was spent marching back and forth across North Carolina "keeping down Tories" and being on call as a "minute man." After the war he returned home and continued to farm his land and was involved in several legal actions in which he lost part of his real and personal property in order to pay judgements assessed against him for trespassing. On several occasions the court in Randolph County ordered the sheriff to seize and sell property belonging to Elias. In 1782 along with John Aldridge and George Julian, Elias was charged with "having joined the British and was bound to the court." Upon appearance in court they were all discharged by proclamation. Since things were not going so well for Elias, apparently he thought it was time to leave Randolph County and in 1815, he and Mary and the children who remained at home, along with son William, moved to Pendleton District, South Carolina where sons Elias, Jr. and Levi had migrated to as early as 1807. On January 10, 1815 Elias witnessed William's purchase of a farm from John Turner. The property was located on Busby's Mill Creek, a branch of the Saluda River and is near the present site of Easley, South Carolina in Southern Pickens County. The Indians in Georgia ceded some of their lands to the United States in 1818 opening up new opportunities to the west. Elias, Jr. and William set out as early as 1819 for Hall County. Elias, Sr. and Mary followed in 1827. In the early 1830's the Cherokees were forced to sell their remaining tribal lands in Northwest Georgia. The land was surveyed and distributed to Georgia residents in 1832 in the Cherokee Gold and Land Lottery. Elias, Sr., as a Revolutionary War veteran was allowed 2 draws in the Lottery and was fortunate in drawing both gold and land lots as a resident in Griffin's District. He was awarded land lot 298, 4th District, 2nd Section located in present Cherokee County and gold lot 1151, 21st District, 2nd Section located in present Bartow County. He apparently claimed both lots, but never moved from Hall County. Elias, Jr. and his family claimed the land lot and moved to Cherokee County circa 1838 about the time the Cherokees were removed to Oklahoma. Elias, Sr. applied for a federal pension on July 10, 1833 and was awarded $22.50 per annum to be paid semi-annually during his natural life. The same year on December 28 he bought 200 acres (lot 50, land district 9) in Hall (now Banks) County from David Hyde. He added 196 acres to his farm on October 22 1838 when he bought lot 66 in land district 9 from William Saye. This property which is in present Hall County near the town of Lula was sold to William Sitton on February 24, 1841. Elias and Mary lived in Hall County until their deaths. Elias' attorney J.K. Tefft picked up his final pension payment in Savannah in September 1844. As part of his estate, the gold lot in Bartow County was sold on May 30, 1849. In recent years the DAR placed a stone at Elias' gravesite to honor his service in the Revolution. Elias and Mary had the following children all born in Randolph Co., NC: (1) Thomas b. 1779; d. 11 Jan 1861 Chatham Co., NC; m. 9 Sep 1803 Randolph Co. Sarah York daughter of Jeremiah and Sarah Allred York. (2) Son, b. abt. 1781. (3) Levi b. abt. 1784; d. after 1860. (4) William b. abt. 1787; d. aft. 1840; m. Mary Nicholson, daughter of John Nicholson. (5) Elias, Jr. b. 9 Jun 1789; d. 12 Jun 1870 Pickens Co., GA; m. 15 Feb 1807 Pendleton Dist., SC Mary A. Harrison. (6) Son, b. abt. 1791. (7) Daughter, b. abt. 1793. (8) Margaret b. abt. 1794; d. aft. 2 Jun 1880. (9) Mary b. abt. 1796; d. aft. 1880. (10) Son, b. abt. 1798. Very little is known about Polly Rigby. According to daughter Margaret in a deposition in Pickens County in 1875, she was one of two children born to John Rigby, whose father was William Rigby. There are rumors that John never received his share of his father's English estate and Margaret was deposed hoping to claim a part of it in her latter years.

| 142 | Benjamin Cannon was likely the son of Jeremiah Cannon. He was born prior to 1746 since he was named as an executor in his father's 1767 will. He married first to Mary East, daughter of Joseph East of Louis Co., Va. His second wife, named in his estate records, was Henningham. Her surname is not know, but she may be a relation of George Carrington, whose mother and daughter were both named Henningham. Benjamin Cannon died in Stokes Co. North Carolina in 1800. The guardianship records in Stokes Co. North Carolina refer to the orphans of Benjamin Cannon, but do not name the orphans. Nevertheless, the identity of some children can be inferred from existing records. Benjamin Cannon lived for a while in Henry Co., Virgnia and was involved in several land transactions in Henry Co. He is referred to in the Henry Co. records as Benjamin Kennon. However, it will be shown that Benjamin Kennon of Henry Co. and Benjamin Cannon of Stokes Co. NC are the same person. On 8 March 1783, James East, Senr. and his wife Ellphan of Henry Co., Virginia sold to Benjamin Kennon (Cannon) for the sum of five pounds, 106 acres on Horsepasture Creek. Witnesses to the deed include John Watson, John, Salmon, and Bowles Abbington. On 24 March 1786, James East, Sr. of Henry Co. sold to Benjamin Kennon (Cannon) several tracts of land. The first was a tract containing 117 acres on the south side of Horsepasture Creek. The second part included 320 acres of land on Camp Branch including the land patented by James East on 10 April 1781 and a part of the land patented by him on 1 June 1782. The April 10 patent contained 286 acres.47 The June 1 patent contained 287 acres. FN 1 Benjamin Kennon subsequently sold this land acquired from James East on 25 March 1791 to James Cook for 100 pounds. FN 2 On 25 April 1791, Benjamin Kennon (Cannon) sold to William Woolard for 50 pounds, 200 acres of land on the head branch of Bull Run, which was part of 287 acres patented by James East. FN 3 This appears to be part of the June 1 patent to James East. I have not found a matching record conveying this land to Benjamin Cannon. It seems likely that Benjamin Cannon moved to Stokes Co., North Carolina in 1791 or after. The 25 April 1791 deed to William Wollard may have been made in preparation of his move. Records in Henry Co, Virginia and Stokes Co., NC after 1791 need to be studied to determine the date of his move more precisely. However, Benjamin Cannon's presence in Stokes Co. NC is proved by the records of his estate. Benjamin apparently died intestate in Stokes Co., North Carolina in 1800. FN 4 There is a record for his estate in the records of the North Carolina State Archives. A bond for the administration of his estate was granted to his wife Henningham, Joseph Cloud and John Salmon Sr. on 2 September 1800. Henningham Cannon filed a petition with the court to appoint Joseph Cloud, James Davis, Alexander Burge, and Thomas Cardwell, or any three of them, commissioners to settle the estate of Benjamin Cannon and to set of a portion of the estate both real and personal for Henningham Cannon. The petition was granted by the court The given name of Benjamin Cannon's wife suggests that she is related to George Carrington, who was involved in several transactions with the elder Benjamin Cannon. George Carrington was a prominent citizen of Cumberland and Goochland Counties. He was the son of Paul Carrington Sr. of Barbados and Henningham Codrington. He migrated to Virginia in 1721 at the age of 10 with his sister Anne and brother-in-law Joseph Mayo. George Carrington had many children, including a daughter named Henningham, who married John Bernard. The name Henningham is common in many generations of George Carrington's descendants. Because of the relationship between the elder Benjamin Cannon and George Carrington, and the relative rareness of the name Henningham outside of the Carrington family, it seems probable that Benjamin's wife is related to George Carrington; she is perhaps a grandchild of George Carrington. Research is continuing to identify the parents of Henningham. An undated inventory in the Benjamin Cannon estate records lists the personal property and concludes with the following statement: This statement as brought forward is what of the dec'd estate the Administratrix finds in her hands, except four negros to wit Nan, Charles (infirm) a negro Girl Called Euz a boy named Frank which the Administratrix discovers in an Item of one called Joseph East in his last will and testament bequeathed to Mary Cannon and her heirs when the youngest Child comes of age, if Mary Cannon was Wife of the dec'd Benjamin Cannon is [he?] one of the heirs." FN 5 The statement in the inventory, while a little confusing, suggests that Benjamin Cannon was previously married to Mary East, daughter of Joseph East, who died in Louisa Co. in 1768. The will of Joseph East names a daughter Mary Cannon to whom he bequeathed a slave named Nan and her increase for her life and after her decease to the children lawfully begotten by Mary Cannon when the youngest child comes of age. FN 6 The slave Nan is identified as part of the estate of Benjamin Cannon. One other document of interest is contained in the estate records of Benjamin Cannon. A summons issued by the Stokes County court orders Bartlett Cannon to appear and provide an accounting for the estate of the orphans of Benjamin Cannon. FN 7 The summons indicates that Bartlett Cannon had been appointed guardian of Benjamin Cannon's orphans and had not previously presented an account of the estate of the orphans. Apparently, the summons was never served. An annotation on the summons signed by the sheriff states that Bartlett Cannon "is not to be found in Stokes." 1 Henry Co., Virginia Deed Book 4, p. 195-96 (Adams, p. 122) 2 Henry Co., Virginia Deed Book 4, p. 269-70 (Adams, p. 132) 3 Administration Bond from Estate Papers of Benjamin Cannon, Stokes Co.

| 149 | Benjamin is named in the will of his father Samuel Rust. A Defendant named Rust is named in the case Spicer v. Pope, which involved a dispute over the will of John Stone, Sarah’s grandfather. I believe this defendant is Benjamin Rust, Sarah Husband. The case states that the Defendant Rust was in possession of plates and other articles from the estate of John Stone. It is known that Ann Metcalf (the mother of Sarah Metcalf) and daughter of John Stone) and her husband Richard Metcalf took possession of the estate of John Stone after his death and did not make any attempt to probate the will. It seems likely that the personal articles of John Stone passed to Sarah and her husband Benjamin through Sarah’s mother, Ann Stone. | Rust, Benjamin (I1027)
