| 1404 | In 1752, Simon Rudelhober, his wife and children: Elizabeth (age 15),George (age 10), Simon (age 8), Gasper (age 4), and Mary Sibella (agenot given) arrived in Philadelphia (Lexington Genealogical Exchange, Vol. 4 (1): 13-15, 1985). It is believed they departed from Rotterdamwith Captain Mason on the ship Neptune. They arrived in SC August of 1752 on Captain Russell's ship, the Edenborough, from Philadelphia to Charles Town, SC (S.C. Gazette, issue 967, December 25, 1752 and the SC Provincial Council Journals, Vol. 21, part 2). In his petition for bounty land in S.C., Simon Reitlehover claimed a wife and 5 children: Elizabeth 15, Mary Sibella 13, George 10, Simon 8, and Gaspar 4 years old. Simon Reitlehover, as Simon Riberhover, was granted 350 acres of land on Cannons Creek. Newberry deeds reveal that the land grant was partitioned into several parts (Wicker to Youn, Newberry Deeds E-24). 88 acre part of the survey was conveyed to Mathias Wicker (Newberry DeedsE-454). Another 88 acre part of the survey was transferred in 1778 toJacob Frey (Newberry Deeds E-455). In 1801, George Reitlehober sold 37 acre part of the survey to John Adam Wicker (Newberry Deeds E-457).

|
| 1407 | In 1809, a guardian was appointed for Reuben. Since he was not allowed to choose his own guardian, this indicates that he was not yet 14 years old. The 1820 census shows his age as being between 16 and 26. Early Records of Georgia, Vol. One, Wilkes County, Davidson, Grace Gillam, (Southern Historical Press, Inc., Greenville, SC, 1992, Original Date, 1932), p. 152, Elizabeth Bennett appointed as guardian of Reuben and Polly Bennett.. | Bennett, Reubin (I787)

|
| 1419 | In January, 1774, surveys were recorded for Robert Crow (241 acres), Thomas Crow (226 acres), and Edward Crow (299 acres) on the middle fork of Holston River in Fincastle County, Virginia. (Fincastle & Kentucky County Va. – Ky. Records & History Volume 1, Michael L. Cook, C.G. and Bettie A. Cummings Cook, C. G. Cook Publications, Evansville, Indiana, 1987) This area is in present day Wythe County. In a will written 1 Jan 1800 and proved 14 May 1811 in Wythe County, Thomas Crow names his brother, Edward Crow. The property of Edward Crow was adjacent to that of Robert Crow. The 1793 land tax list of Wythe County shows Robert Crow with 250 acres, Thomas Crow with 226 acres, and Edward Crow with 299 acres. These are apparently the same individuals as recorded in the 1774 surveys of Fincastle County, Virginia. Note that Joseph Crockett appears on this same tax list. All three are also included in the personal property tax list along with a James Crow. (Source: New River Note Website) | Crow, Robert (I5596)

| 1432 | Information about John Bennett is at best sketchy. Neither the identity of his parents, nor the place of his birth is known. No siblings have been identified and no record has been found of his marriage. Existing records enable us to identify his wife Elizabeth Dodson, daughter of Thomas Dodson and Elizabeth Rose. The first record of John Bennett is in the minutes of the Broad Run Baptist Church in Fauquier Co., Va. John's father-in-law, Thomas Dodson, was minister for the Broad Run Baptist Church. John Bennett made a will in Pittsylvania County, Virginia on 11 November 1782, which was probated on 18 July 1791. This time difference has led some to speculate that John Bennett died in about 1791. However, examination of property tax records in Pittslvania County show that John Bennett died about 1786. John appears on the tax lists for Pittsylvania County through 1785. He is absent in 1786 and every year thereafter. Additionally, in 1787 Virginia required each county to compile a tax list which is today known as the 1787 Census of Virginia. This tax list names every male 21 and over and enumerates every male 16-21. The tax list contains a lot on information, but the first three columns name the person charged with the tax, the males 21 and over, and the number of males 16-21. There were two lists for Pittsylvania County, an A list covering the southern half of the county and a B list covering the northern half. On the A list, there are three entries for the surname Bennett: Elizabeth Bennett, Thomas Bennett and William Bennett. Elizabeth Bennett is charged with the tax of John Bennett and has 1 male 16-21 (son John for whom she paid tax) in her household. Thomas Bennett and William Bennett are both charged with the tax for themselves. Women were not included on the list unless they were the head of household suggesting that John Bennett was deceased. Both Thomas and William, sons of John Bennett and Elizabeth Dodson, have established their own households by 1787. John Bennett named 9 children in his will: William, Thomas, Jesse, John, Elizabeth Bennett, Ruth Bennett, Sarah Lee, Winifred McDaniel, and Milly Watson. William and Thomas, as the oldest sons, were named executors of his will. William Bennett performed an inventory of the estate of John Bennett which was recorded 19 Mar 1792. The sons named in the will of John Bennett match the males listed in the 1787 census of Virginia. There were no other Bennetts living in the southern portion of Pittsylvania County. Deed records provide further information linking the children of John Bennett and Elizabeth Dodson. | Bennett, John (I675)

|
| 1437 | Isaac Barber, for himself and as guardian of his children, granted a power of attorney to George D. Boyd on 21 September 1852 to receive distributions from the estate of his father-in-law Levin McCollister. It is presumed that his wife Elizabeth is deceased by this date.

|
| 1438 | Isaac Young is listed as over 45 in the 1820 census and 50-60 in the 1830 census. From these sources, his birthdate is calculated to be between 1770 and 1775. | Young, Isaac (I3943)
|
| 1439 | Isaac Young is listed in the 1830 census in Rockingham Co., NC with 1 male 10-15, 2 males 20-30, 1 male 50-60, 1 female 15-20, 1 female 20-30, and 1 female 50-60. | Young, Isaac (I3943)
|
| 1440 | Isaac's wife was named Elizabeth. Her maiden name is not known. Some researchers claim that she is Elizabeth Edwards, daughter of Isaac Edwards of Northamption County, North Carolina. Support for this theory rests on two main facts: 1) that she died in Northamption County, North Carolina , and 2) that an Isaac Edwards of Northamption County named a daughter Elizabeth Ferguson in his will. Isaac Ferguson and his wife Elizabeth were in Virginia as early as 1733 when they sold 195 acres of land in Prince William County on the south side of Bull Run in Hamilton Parish to Joseph Bohannan. Prince William County, Virginia Deeds, Liber B; 132-1735, pp. 161-164. See, notes for Isaac Ferguson. Isaac Ferguson died in Edgecombe County, North Carolina in 1764. His will, proved in Edgecombe County Court on July 1764, names his wife Elizabeth, and minor son, John. Elizabeth apparently moved to Northampton County, North Carolina where Elizabeth's estate was settled in 1789. The estate records state that Isaac and Elizabeth had five children. On January 1, 1765 Elizabeth Ferguson gives to son Nimrod property left her by deceased husband, Isaac Ferguson. Edgecombe County, Deed Book C, p. 347. Another son, William, left a will dated Feb 24, 1964 and also proved in July court. It names his wife Jane and his brother Nimrod as executors. Elizabeth remarried to Robert Malone as evidenced by estate records in Northampton County, North Carolina. __________________________________________________ Edgecombe County Deed Book C, pp. 347-348 01 January 1765 "To all Christian people to whom these presents shall come greeting.

| 1441 | It appears that Andrew Wray may have moved from what is now Stokes County to Rockingham County. Andrew Wray appears in the 1790 and 1800 censuses in Stokes County , but is not listed in the 1810 census or later censuses. He also appears in the records of Stokes Co. in the early 1790s. As noted below, he purchased land in Stokes Co. in 1790 and 1792 from Ursley Ray. In 1795, he purchased land in Rockingham Co.

Based on the 1810 and 1820 census records, Andrew was between 35 and 45 years old in 1810, so his birth date is between 1765 and 1775. His wife is less than 45 in 1820, so her birth date is after 1775. Andrew Wray is missing from the 1830 census. A Mary Ray between 50 and 60 years old appears in the census.

| 1442 | It is known that William Bennett and Mary Humphries had at least five children together - Peter (bap. 21 June 1724), Elizabeth (bap. 1 Dec. 1726), William (bap. 5 Jan. 1728), Joseph (bap. 6 June 1731), and Richard (b. 6 Feb. 1733 and bap. 10 March 1733). William Bennett had sons Thomas (b. abt 1742) and Stephen (b. abt. 1744) whose mothers are not currently identified. They are too old to be be children of Hannah Goad who was born in 1732. They could be the children of Mary Humphries or another unknown wife of William Bennett. | Humphreys, Mary (I106)

|
| 1446 | James Bennett is the son of William Bennett and Hannah Goad, which is confirmed by an entry in the journal of Winston Dalton. The entry states that "James Bennett son of William Bennett & Hanner his Wife deceas'd a Sunday evening May 21st 1826." Benjamin and James Bennett first appear in the Pittsylvania County tax list in 1773 with their tithes charged to William Bennett. This indicates that James and Benjamin were still minors at this time. James and Benjamin are first listed on their own in 1776. If this indicates that they had reached the age of majority, then we can estimate their birth year as 1755. Since James & Benjamin first appear as minors the same year, and both are first listed individually on the same year, it is possible that James and Benjamin were twins. In the late 1770s and early 1780s, there was a large migration of families from Pittsylvania County to Montgomery County, Virginia. Among those moving were William Bennett, his sons Thomas, James and Benjamin, and Elijah Bennett, son of Thomas. William Bennett, Thomas Bennett, James Bennett, and Benjamin Bennett all appear on the 1782 personal property tax list of Montgomery County. Each one of these men is absent from the 1782 tax list of Pittsylvania County. Benjamin Bennett is listed adjacent to Meredith Smith on this tax list. In a 1780 Pittsylvania County deed, Thomas Bennett of Montgomery County, Virginia sold his interest in 100 acres of land to William Mitchell. (DB 6:70-71) This deed links the Montgomery County Bennetts to Pittsylvania County. Pittsylvania County researchers will recognize many other names on the Montgomery County tax list. Thomas Bennett, James Bennett, and Elijah Bennett were in the Montgomery County Militia from 1782-1784 in the company of Captain William Bobbett. The majority of persons in this company were from Pittsylvania County. Benjamin Bennett also appears in the militia list in the company of Captain Samders between 1782 & 1784. Thomas, Elijah, and James Bennett all return to Pittsylvania County by 1785. William and Benjamin did not. It is likely that William died in Montgomery County. A person by the name of Benjamin Bennett appears around this time in the records of Surry County, North Carolina. Stokes County was formed from Surry County in 1789. | Bennett, James (I311)
