|
| 1855 | The identity of Henry's first wife is not proven, but is tentatively identified as Rebecca Hawkins, daughter of Matthew Hawkins and Sarah Pinkethman. The evidence supporting this relationship is highly circumstantial and additional research is warranted. Henry Howard lived in the same area as Pinkethman Hawkins and Thomas Hawkins, the brothers of his presumed wife Rebecca Hawkins. Henry Howard also engaged in business transactions with Pinkethman Hawkins, in Lunenburg Co., Virginia, which often indicates a familial relationship. Pinkethman Hawkins married Henry' sister, Mary Howard. It would not be unusual for Henry to also marry a sister of Pinkethman. Finally, Henry's daughter Sarah named a daughter Rebecca, perhaps after her mother. Henry Howard purchased land in Lunenburg Co., VA from Pinkethman Hawkins on 2 June 1760. Book 7, p. 128 On 15 Dec. 1755, Henry Howard was granted patent for 2800 acres of land in Lunenburg Co., Va. on north side of Roanoke River beginning at the mouth of Allen’s Creek. Land Office Patents No. 32, 1752-1756 (v.1 & 2 p.1-715), p. 659 Henry Howard Sen’r is living in the St. Lawrence District of Caswell Co. in 1794.

| 1856 | The Judith Hill in the 1820 census in Pittsylvania County and the Judith Hill in the 1810 census in Amherst County appear to be the same person. All the males and females, with the exception of one male between 16 and 25, in the 1810 census can be mapped to a person in the household of Judith Hill in the 1820 census. The missing male is likely William Lyon who appears in the same census, the third entry following Judith Lyon. The Judith Hill in the 1810 census in Amherst County had 4 slaves. Judith Lyon was not listed in the 1810 census in Pittsylvania County. The Judith in Lyon the 1820 census in Pittsylvania County had 7 slaves. Judith Lyon was not listed in the 1820 census in Amherst County. Judith Lyon appears on the property tax list in Pittsylvania County in 1820 with two slaves. She is missing from the property tax list in 1821. William Lyon appears on the 1822 tax list with 2 slaves. | Hill, Judith (I3582)

|
| 1876 | The Methodist Church at Elizabethton, was undoubtedly formed prior to the Presbyterian, and like the latter, they at first held services in the courthouse and in the academy. About 1836 a small frame building was erected at the lower end of Main Street, opposite where Mr. Wilcox now lives. It was occupied until about 1859, when the present house was begun and completed a year or two later. Among the first members ofthe church were John Singletary, Mrs. John Wilcox and family, Joseph Taylor, John Stephens and David Adams, a local preacher. (Goodspeed History of Carter County) In the 1850 census Letitia Wilcox is listed as blind. | Tilson, Leticia (I6931)
|
| 1877 | The minister's return identifies William Millner as the husband of Sally Noell rather than Williamson. However, the historical records are confusing because Williamson is sometimes referred to as William and he also had a brother named William. There is a chancery court case where Cornelius Noell, Jr. sued the administrator of Cornelius Noell, Sr. as well as the rest of his family. Bedford County, 019-1841-029. The case file includes a copy of a public notice printed in a newspaper in Lynchburg called the Virginian 19 Nov 1835, which states that Sally Noell is the widow of Williamson Millner. The case file also includes a bond entered into by Thomas Millner and Williamson Milner suggesting that they are family members. Thomas married Polly Noell so this bond makes sense assuming that Williamson married Sally Noell. Finally, court records show that William Millner was still alive after Sally Noell became widowed, so he cannot be her husband. | Family F533
|
| 1878 | The minutes of the Coneross Baptist Church for the 18 May 1861 reads, "Took Brother Herrens gift under consideration and liberate him to exercise his gifts in the bounds of this church and anywhere called on." The nature of this gift is not stated, however, B. Herron is frequently noted in the minutes as giving an exhortation when the regular preacher was not present. | Herron, Alfred Burton (I6203)

| 1881 | The muster roll for February 1863 states that he died of disease on 1st day of January 1863 at hospital. | Dill, George Washington (I5656)
|
| 1882 | The name J. Lindsey Bennett is given in the obituary of his daughter, Annie Morrow. | Bennett, L. Lindsey (I4815)
|
| 1883 | The news article simply says Pinehurst, but does not give the state. Pinehurst, NC is likely to be the only place known well enough to be reported in this manner without identification of the state. | Bennett, William S. (I4849)
|
| 1884 | The next household in the census is Thomas Crow, age 66, who is likely his father. | Crow, Robert G. C. (I7249)
|

|
| 1887 | The parents of Betsy Thomas are currently unknown. A Michael Thomas died in 1817 in Rockingham Co. naming a daughter Betsy in his will. However, an agreement recorded in Deed Book R, p. 293 identifies Michael's daughter Betsy as the widow and relic of Nathaniel Barnes. A Lewis Thomas died in 1817 and his daughter Betsy Thomas is mentioned in estate records as a legatee. A John Thomas died in 1828, but his estate records mention a single daughter named Francis. In 1810, Betsy Thomas would have been 17 years old. Elijah Thomas and Jesse Thomas are listed in the 1810 census with daughters 16-25 years old. Elijah Thomas owned land on Big Troublesome Creek. Rockingham Co. Deed Book M, p. 183. Henry Co. Deed Books 5/6, Pg. 123. (490-491) Feb 1804 Goodwin Mayse of Henry Co to Michael Thomas of Rockingham Co, NC for sum of $100.

| 1889 | The pension application of John Dill states that he was born in Kent Co DE on 25 Nov 1759 and moved to Caswell Co NC as a small boy. He entered the revolutionary army from Caswell Co, then called Orange Co, in 1779. He served under Lt. Oldham, Capt. Davet, the regiment of Col. Martin in the NC militia, for 9 months. The application was made in Oct 1832 at the age of 73. John Dill died intestate owning 200 acres of land adjoining Lancelot Johnson and Ezekial Paschall. John's heirs filed a petition to divide this land which names John's surviving children and grandchildren. This petition names only two children, Archy and Jane, as heirs at law. John H. Dill, who is believed by many to be a son of John, is not named as an heir. Records also show that John H. Dill was born in 1809. The 1810 census of Caswell Co. shows the household of John Dill with 1 male 45 and up, 2 females under 10 and 1 female 45 and up. John Dill had no young male children in his household in 1810. John H. Dill is likely a relative, but not a child of John Dill. Sources: National Archives Rev. War Pension and Bounty-land Appl.

| 1890 | The person identified Presley Rollin in the 1870 census in Caswell County and the persons identified as Presley Saunders in the 1880 census in Rockingham County are the same person. His mother, Elizabeth Rollin, gave birth to her son Presley out of wedlock and later married William Sanders. | Saunders, William Presley (I61)
|
| 1891 | The Pittsylvania County Register of Deaths gives the date of death as 7 June 1859. The Register of Deaths is an alphabetized listing of the deaths so was created at a later date. It is possible that the date given in the Register of Deaths is a transcription error. | Lewis, John Fleming (I4743)
|
| 1892 | The prevalent view of Tilson researchers is that William Tilson of Washington County, Virginia is the son of Stephen Tilson and Janet Murdock of Massachusetts. This view seems to have it's origins in a book published by Mercer Tilson. While Mercer Tilson has shown that Stephen Tilson and Janet Murdock had a son named William, he has not provided a single piece of evidence that William Tilson of Washington Co., VA is him. There is some evidence that William Tilson of VA was originally known as William Tillotson, and his name was later shortened to Tilson. First is from Goodspeed’s History of Tennessee, Unicoi County. (http://www.ls.net/~newriver/tn/good-uct.htm) The web site gives the date of publication as 1897. However, Goodspeed obviously wrote the following paragraph before 1888. The text refers to a child in college (presently) who graduates in 1888 (future). I have added the bold numbers in brackets to reference these people back to the Mercer Tilson book. This paragraph matches the Mercer Tilson book exactly until you get to William, Sr. [1044]. Mercer Tilson claims William is the son of Stephen Tilson and Janet Murdock of Massachusetts, while Goodspeed says he immigrated from Ireland. W. E. Tilson [1227], farmer, was born in Washington (now Unicoi) County, April 29, 1827, the son of Peleg [1060] and Nancy (Allen) Tilson (once spelled Tillotson), the former born in 1795 in Virginia. the son of William [1049]. who became a pioneer of East Tennessee, and a farmer, and was the son of William, Sr. [1044], who came from Ireland, and was one of Gen. Washington's aides in the Revolution, The father was a farmer, and died in 1841, In Carter County, having become insolvent through intemperate habits and surety debts. The mother, born in Virginia, in 1800, of German lineage, was the daughter of George Allen, and a devoted Baptist. Her death occurred in 1859, leaving the following children: George, Ruth, John A., William E. and James W. Our subject is largely self- educated, and for several years before the war was a teacher, and now is a surveyor and successful farmer, He owns over 4,000 acres, largely timbered and mineral land. March 14, 1852 he married Minerva K.,. a daughter of James Sams. of Irish-German Origin. She was born September 5, 1831. Their children are Eliza E., born March 4, 1853; Leroy S., born August 13, 1854; James F., born December 21, 1856; Jacob C., born March 14, 1860; Mary J., born October 18, 1862; John Q., born April 5, 1866; Lula, born August 20, 1868; and William J. Born August 13, 1871. Our subject is the present clerk and master in chancery, and has two sons who are practicing physicians, on a prominent educator in North Carolina, and the other two now in school, the eldest of whom graduates in the class of 1888. (Goodspeed's History of Unicoi County - Biographical Sketches) Some validity must be given to this narrative by Goodspeed. The subject above, William E. Tilson, was serving as clerk and master in chancery in Unicoi County at the time Goodspeed wrote this history. This paragraph contains a good deal of personal information which would not be found in official records such as Tilson’s self-education, his grandfather Allen being a devoted Baptist, the intemperance of his father, etc. Based on this, it is likely that Goodspeed interviewed William E. Tilson and obtained this information. Another thing to notice is that Goodspeed says that Tilson was once spelled Tillotson. This is supported by records found in Washington Co., VA, where William Tilson, Sr. [1044] lived. A surveyor’s record shows that Justice Hubble assigned his survey of 282 acres to William Tilson. In this record William is referred to both as William Tilson and William Tillotson.

Signed: Justus Hubbell (Source: The Washington County Surveyors Record 1781-1797 by Rhonda Robertson, 1998) (http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/va/washington/deeds/surv1003.txt) William was granted a patent on this land in 1786. The grant was in the name of William Tillotson. Source: Land Office Grants No. 3, 1786, p. 346 (Reel 69) The neighbors of William Tillotson are Sampson Cole, Jonathan Bishop and Joseph Bishop. A quick look through the Mercer Tilson Genealogy Book will reveal numerous marriages between the Tilsons of Washington Co., VA and the Coles and Bishops. Lastly, the 1787 tax list of Virginia (known as the 1787 Census of Virginia) shows that there are no Tilsons living in Washington Co., VA at that time. There is however, a William Tillotson. The genealogy provide by Mercer Tilson from William Tilson down does seem to be correct. However, he did not provide any documentation supporting the claim that this William Tilson was the son of Stephen Tilson of MA. To the contrary, these records indicate that William Tilson was originally known as William Tillotson. It is quite possible that he is as Goodspeed claimed, an Irish immigrant. I have found one other undocumented reference which requires some research. "William Tilson was a descendant of the Tillotsons who emigrated to Virginia from Ireland. Joining the Virginia Militia at the outbreak of hostilies, he served as one of General Washington’s aides-de-camp for the duration of conflict. (Source: http://home.att.net/~Hillgartner/Pages/TillHist.htm) Although the source of this information is not documented, it matches one important detail of the Goodspeed narrative; that there was an aid to General George Washington named William Tilson and he is descended from the Tillotsons. | Tilson, William (I6938)
|
| 1893 | The records regarding the birth date of Laura Jones appear to be mixed. Her death certificate states that she was born 17 September 1913. The Social Security Death Index states that she was born 17 September 1890. Neither appear correct. The 1930 census indicates that she is 30 years old and married at the age of 17. Her first son, Lloyd E. Slayton, was born 25 May 1917. Based on the records, I conclude that the birth date is most likely 17 September 1900. | Jones, Laura E. (I4666)
|
| 1894 | The Revolutionary War pension of Samuel Caruthers states that he served with Aaron Allen and Job Baker in his first term, which was from Oct 1778 to April 1779. | Allen, Aaron (I8488)
|
| 1895 | The Social Security Death Index states that William H. Bennett was born June 11, 1871. However, William H. Bennett is listed as one month old in the 1870 census in Pittsylvania Co. The census was taken 21 July 1870. It seems likely that the date of birth is actually June 11, 1870. | Bennett, William Hartwell (I76)
|
| 1896 | The surname of Anne is tentatively identified as Fullilove. The Fullilove family was present in Granville County when the Bennett family migrated there. There are many documented connections between the Bennett, Fulliove, Crafton and Tatum families in both Granville and King William County. Peter Bennett and his wife Ann had a son named Thomas Fullilove Bennett. It is speculated that the middle name "Fullilove" is derived from his mother's surname. | Fullilove, Anne (I703)
|
| 1897 | The surname of the bride given in the marriage license appears to be a clerical error. The surname Bouland appears to be a corruption of Rowland. The clerk may have transcribed the record incorrectly from the original documents. | Family F62
|
| 1898 | The two households preceding Ira Dodd in the 1850 census are headed by James Dodd, age 65, and Shadrack Dodd, age 35. It is possible that these are the father and brother of Ira. Also in James Dodd's household is Frances Dodd, age 85, who was born in Virginia. | Dodd, Ira E. (I5744)
|
| 1899 | The two known children of William Bennett and Hannah Goad are Benjamin Bennett and James Bennett. James Bennett, who remained in Pittsylvania Co., is identified in Winston Dalton's journal as the son of William and Hannah. Benjamin and James Bennett first appear in the Pittsylvania County tax list in 1773 with their tithes charged to William Bennett. Benjamin and James are first listed on their own in 1776. Assuming that they had reached the age of majority in 1776, then we can estimate their birth year as 1755. Hannah probably married William Bennett before 1755. | Family F238
|
| 1900 | The two sources provide different dates for the marriage. It is assumed that the earlier date is the date of the marriage bond or license and that the later date is the date of the marriage ceremony | Family F2791
