Rice, Elizabeth M., NC, must have filed a Rev. War pension application (approved) and there apparently was a bounty land warrant. The following is an abstract of the pension: WILLIAM H. RICE, Elizabeth M., NC, W2437, BLWt. 12832-160-55. Rockingham Co., NC, 30 Oct 1832. William H. Rice, aged 71 years on the 12th of March last. In Oct 1778 he was drafted in Caswell Co., NC, for a term of 5 months in a militia company commanded by Capt. George Moore, with John Lawson acting as Lieutenant. On the following Nov 3rd marched to Hillsborough, NC, and joined a regiment of militia commanded by Col. James Saunders, and from there marched to Salisbury and joined a brigade of militia commanded by Genl. Rutherford, and then marched on to Ten Mile House in South Carolina. Then to Purysburg where they joined Genl. Lincoln's army, a number of British troops having been stationed at that time on the opposite bank of the Savannah River. A part of the troops were ordered to cross the river and attack them, which they did, and had an engagement with them at Briar Creek, though applicant did not participate, having continued with the main body of the army. From Purysburg, Genl. Rutherford's troops (the applicant's company being a part of them) marched to Two Sisters, and from there to Turkey Hill in SC, where the applicant was discharged 10 April 1779, and reaced home the 23rd of same month having served on this tour five months and upwards, and performed the duties of a sergeant. Does not recall having received a written discharge, if so, it has been lost or mislaid. "About the last of Sept, 1780, applicant was drafted in Caswell Co., NC, for a term of 3 months in a militia company commanded by Capt. Wilson, in which company he served as Sergeant. Ordered to Hillsborough, NC, and was placed under command of Col. William Moore who commanded a regiment of militia, and from thence to Salisbury and joined several regiments of militia commanded by Genl. Rutherford. From there to New Providence, NC, where they joined Genl. Morgan and his Riflemen, Col. Washington and his Troop of Horse, and Genl. Davidson, who had a number of militia under his command. A part of the troops were ordered in pursuit of a number of Tories in that part of the state, and having attacked them, took a large number of prisoners at a place called Rudgely's Mills. Applicant was not in this engagement, but continued with the troops who remained at New Providence. He was afterwards discharged at Salisbury, in the latter part of December, having served a period of 3 months. Does not recall having received a discharge; if so, it has been lost or mislaid. "On 12 March 1781 applicant joined Genl. Greene's army as a volunteer at the High Rock Ford, on Haw River, and was in the Battle of Guilford on the 15th of the same month, having served a total of five days in a militia company commanded by Capt. Oldham. In Aug or Sept applicant entered a militia company in Caswell Co., NC, for a tour of 3 months as a substitute for John Harvin, commanded by Capt. Oldham, where he acted as Lieutenant for three months, having been commissioned by Col. William Moore, commander of the regiment to which his company was attached. Marched to Hillsborough and joined the militia commanded by Genl. Butler, and were ordered in pursuit of a number of Tories. Having pursued them until we arrived near Wilmington, we were attacked by a body of British troops and Tories, and after a short engagement our troops were ordered to retreat. About two weeks later our army was attacked by the enemy about midnight at a place called the Brown Marsh. In this attack some of our men were killed and taken prisoners. In this expedition a militia regiment commanded by Col. Taylor from Granville Co., NC, was likewise with us. Was discharged in Nov. 1781, at Clayton's on the north fork of Cape Fear River, having served as Lieutenant for three months. "Applicant was born 12 March 1761, Hanover Co., VA, as given in his father's Bible at home. In 1775 he removed with his father to Caswell Co., NC, and at age of 14 or 15 applicant removed to Rockingham Co., NC, where he has since resided."

(Raleigh: Mar 1956), LAFHC 975.6, b2J, V 2) The application continues with the deposition of Jonathan Brooks of Guilford Co., NC. As noted, one of the daughters of Henry Williams married Christopher Brooks, who died soon after the marriage. In that deposition, Brooks states the Captain Oldham was John Oldham. (Note the name Brooks in connection with this application.) The widow's statements include date of marriage and death date of pensioner--30 Aug 1847, and her maiden name is given--Elizabeth Boman. Appended is the death date of the widow--6 Dec 1857. | Rice, William H. (I3055)

| 905 | William is tentatively identifed as the father of Hugh Reynolds. There is some evidence suggesting that William Reynolds and his son Hugh Reynolds were living in Martic Township along with William Neely and William Devin. See, 1757 Tax List, Martic Township, Lancaster PA. A William Reynolds left a will in Cecil Co., MD, which is a few miles from Lancaser. The will of William Reynolds (abstracted below) names a son Hugh Reynolds. William Neale, the father-in-law of Hugh Reynolds, is from the same general area. Maryland Probate Records, 1674-1774 Calendar of Wills, Vol 16, 1774-1777, Calendar of Wills 1774-1777, Page 74 William Reynolds, Cecil Co., Planter; Aug 26, 1775 - September 11, 1775 To trusty friends: Fanny Reynolds and Patrick Fitzsimons, executors, to sell my whole estate both real and personal and after debts are paid money to be used as follows: To daughter Pheaby Celly, 5 shillings. To daughter Martha, 5 shillings. To daughter Agness Fitzsimon, 5 shillings. To son Hugh Reynolds, 10 pounds. To daughter Saray, 5 pounds. Remaining part of my estate to be divided in 6 equal parts and given as follows: To wife Fanny Reynolds, son James Reynolds, daughter Jean Reynolds, daughter Mary Reynolds, son John Reynolds, daughter Ellinor Reynolds, each one sixth part. To Martha McLean, 5 shillings. A William Reynolds died in Randoplh Co., but is probably not in our direct line. Source: http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=laaubry&id=I1180 William inherited lot #19, the south lot, from his father. This land consisted of 490 acres and was located immediately west of the West Nottingham Friends MH. William Reynolds, wife and children produced a certificate of transfer from E. Nottingham Mtg, PA, dated 1751-2mo-20, at the opening session of the Cane Creek MM, NC, 1751-10mo-7. William Reynolds of Orange Co. NC was granted land on 24 Jun 1751, according to a Randolph Co. NC deed. William Reynolds was listed as a taxpayer in Rowan Co. NC in 1758, 1759, 1761 and with son Henry, in 1770. William and Rachel Reynolds sold property in Guilford Co. NC 17 May 1771, located on the North Fork Polecat Creek (now located in Randolph Co. Guilford Co. was created from Orange and Rowan Cos. in 1770 Randolph Co. was created from Guilford Co. in 1779.) William was a member of the following Friends congregations: E. and W. Nottingham Mtg, PA; Cane Creek MM, NC; New Garden MM, NC and in NE Randolph Co. NC, 1.5 miles north of Providence Meetinghouse. A trailer park is presently located there. According to his NC descendants, the Providence MH was originally to be built in that location, but after William's burial, a site was chosen 1.5 miles away. These descendants have been collecting money to place a plaque on the large rock remaining on the property as a memorial to William. William was one of two progenitors for northern central NC Quaker Reynolds. Some of his descendants remained in NC, others moved to Indiana in the 1830s and 1840s | Reynolds, William (I3867)

| 906 | William Kennon (9 Feb. 1713/4 ) received 230 acres on the Appomattox River, called “Fleets,” as a gift from his father in 1735. William paid taxes on four levies in 1736, and took the oath of militia lieutenant 7 July 1758. William married Elizabeth Lewis, a daughter of Charles Lewis, in Goochland County 3 April (bond) 1744. He was sheriff of Henrico County, 1747, and sheriff of Chesterfield County, 1755. Chesterfield County appointed William a vestryman of Dale Parish November 1751, and charged him with ten tithes in 1756. William made his will in Chesterfield County remembering his wife, two daughters, and four sons (will dated 31 Oct. 1759, recorded 5 June 1761 ). On July 20, 1746, James Akins deeded to Joseph Akins of Goochland Co. Va., 145 acres bounded by John Town, Wm. Kennon., and Stephen Wathens. Amelia Co. Deed Book 2, pg. 380.

| 907 | William Kennon first appears in Caswell Co. in 1783 when he purchased 334 acres of land on Lick’s Fork of Moon’s Creek from Asail Roberts on 17 June 1783 adjacent James Richardson. A John Kennon appears at the same time and also purchased land from Asail Roberts on Lick’s Fork Creek. William married Ursley Perkins (formerly Richarson) four months later. It seems a safe bet that Ursley is related to James Richardson. He could possibly be a brother or uncle. It is known that William had two sons, Richard and John, by his wife Ursley Richardson. On 22 July 1811, Joel Canon deeded property to both William Cannon and Reuben Cannon. William Cannon received 100 acres at Hogan’s Creek. (Caswell Co. Deed Book Q, pg. 276-77). Reuben received 86 acres at Hogan’s Creek adjacent William Cannon (Caswell Co. Deed Book Q, pg. 277). Joel Cannon’s relationship to William Kennon is presently unknown. It is possible that he is a brother. Joel Cannon died in Caswell Co., NC. He left a will date 21 Dec. 1829, which was probated in 1832. The will names daughters Dorcas Scott, Sallly Murphy, Anne Powell, and sons Elijah Canon and James Cannon. William Cannon died in Caswell Co. before 17 Nov. 1852. On that date There is a estate record in the NC Division of Archives for William Kennon. The estate records included an administrator’s bond for Richard R. Kennon to serve as administrator for William Kennon’s estate. Richard R. Kennon presented an accounting for the estate to the court on 26 Dec. 1854 showing $2127.50 from the sale of land, $398.77 from the sale of personal property, and $646.57 in payments for debts and expenses. Estate Records of William Kennon, NC Division of Archives and History, C.R. 020.508.7 (Jordan - Kerr, James). Tax Records William Cannon fist appears on the Caswell Co. tax lists in 1784 with 524 acres near Moon’s Creek. He is in the Caswell District. He paid 1 white poll and 3 black polls. The land listed likely included the 334 acres he purchasd from Asail Roberts and 196 acres that he acquired by his marriage to Ursley Perkins. He is on the tax list each year through 1795; always in the Caswell District. In 1795 there is also listed a William Cannon Jr. I have not seen the tax lists for 1796 - 1804. William Cannon is also on the tax lists in 1805 and 1806. Caswell Co. Tax Lists, North Carolna State Archives, C.R. 020.701.1-701.3 Census A William Kennon is in Rockingham Co. for the 1800 census. He is listed as being 45+. He lists two males and 3 females under 10, 1 male and 1 female 10-15, 1 female 16-25, and 1 male and 1 female 45+. This does not appear to be the same person, however, I was unable to find another listing for William Cannon in the area. I know, however, from Caswell Co. tax records that William Cannon was still living in Caswell Co. 1800 Rockingham Co. NC Census, Roll M32, Page: 490. William Cannon appears in the 1810 census in Caswell Co. as William Kinnon. He lists three males 16 - 26, 1 male 45+, 1 female 16-26, 1 female 26-45, and one female 45+.

Two persons are engaged in agriculture and two are engaged in manufacturing. He has 12 slaves. His son Richard R. Cannon is listed separately without any children. Therefore, the young children in the household of William Sen. must be his grandchildrin. 1820 Caswell Co. NC Census, Roll M33_81, Page: 52 A younger William Cannon also appears in the 1820 census in Caswell Co. He lists 1 male under 10, 1 male 26-45, 2 females under 10, 1 female 16-45.

The death certificate of Elivira Jane Montgomery indicates that her father was George Montgomery and gives Guilford County as his birthplace. So far, I have not seen any evidence of another George Montgomery in Guilford County, so the George Montgomery named in the will of William Montgomery (1811) is tentatively identifed as the father of Elvira Jane Montgomery.

| 928 | William was born ca 1698, probably in Sweden. He was brought to America by his parents at about the age of seven and was raised in New Castle County, Delaware. He married Magdalena Petersson, daughter of Peter and Karin Petersson, at Holy Trinity Church in New Castle County, Delaware on April 21, 1720. The Peterssons were a Swedish family. The last record of the William Vardaman family in Delaware is the baptism of a daughter in 1724. William next appears in the Rockfish Gap area on the eastern slopes of the Blue Ridge Mountains in what is now Albemarle County, VA, but was then in Goochland County in 1734. By 1744 he has moved a little further south to the Peaks of Otter area of the Blue Ridge Mountains in what is now Bedford County, VA. In 1744 this area was in Brunswick County and later, in 1746, in Lunenburg County. Bedford County was created out of Lunenburg in 1754. In 1766 William with his second (or possibly third) wife and youngest son, James, relocated to the Dutch Fork area of what is now Newberry County, South Carolina, but was then in Craven County and later included in the judicial division known as Ninety Six District. William purchased 150 acres on the south side of the Enoree River on Indian Creek on 13 Dec 1766. The deed refers to William as a merchant. William died ca 1789 in Newberry County naming his wife Bridgit and four sons John, William, Jr., Peter and James, in order in his will. The first three were probably from his first wife, Magdalena Petersson, while the last son, James, was probably with his last wife, Bridgit Tinkler. Based on details included in the various biographies of his grandson, Rev. Jeremiah Vardeman of Kentucky and Missouri, William raised a very large family. Since there were only 4 sons, there are likely several daughters. Unfortunately, we know the names of only two: Maria and Jemima. While it can't be proven, there is likely another daughter named Frances who married Peter Bennett. Beyond this we are unable to conjecture with any degree of confidence on the names of any additional daughters.

| 950 | "COVINGTON, Melchizedec Covington was born in N.C., and lost both of his parents when he was quite young, consequently he received but little attention from anyone, and grew up without an education. When he was grown, he went to Christian Co., KY., where, in 1799, he married CATHARINE SUDDITH, who was born in Fairfax Co., VA. In 1827 they loaded their effects into a little one-horse wagon, and with their 7 children, came to Callaway Co., Mo. They had $13 in money when they started, and when they arrived at the end of their journey had but 50 cents left. Mr. Covington rented some land and went to work, and then as he became able, he entered land and obtained a home of his own. He raised 13 children, 6 sons and 7 daughters, and died at the age of 86 years". William Smith Bryan and Robert Rose, A History of the Pioneer Families of Missouri: With Numerous Sketches, Anecdotes, Adventures, Etc. Relating To Early Days in Missouri (St. Louis, Missouri: Bryan, Brand & Co., 1876), p. 315. _______________________________________________________________________________ From the History of Callaway County Missouri (1884) Page 907-908 "James R. Covington farmer. Among the early families of Callaway county was that of Mr. Covington's father, Melchisedeck Covington, who came to this county in 1829. He was from North Carolina, but his wife, Minerva C., nee Suddeth, was born in Virginia. They were married in the old North State, and soon afterwards removed to Christian county, Kentucky, where they lived for a period of sixteen years. Dissatisfied with the sterility of the lands in Kentucky, and the paucity of nomisma, they came to Callaway county, as stated above. The father was a man of great industry and energy, and a good manager, and in this new fertile county he prospered abundantly. He came here poor and became a well-to-do farmer and substantial citizen of the county. His son relates how that when he arrived in these parts he had nothing in the world to go on with but two old mares, an old wagon and his wife and seven children, with only $14 into the bargain. Many years before he died he paid taxes on over $10,000 worth of property. He died here September 15, 1867, aged eighty years. His wife died many years before. Both died of cancer. They were thought a great deal of by the early settlers of the county, and, in fact, by all who knew them. They had a family of fourteen children: Cynthia A., died in maidenhood, in about 1844; Henry W., now in Montgomery county; Noah, a resident of Montgomery City; Nancy (Mrs. Thomas G. Payton), died in 1879; Mary E., with her brother, Jno. G., at Middleton; Virginia F., widow of Dan White, of Montgomery county; Berry F., of Monroe county; James R., the subject of the sketch; Minerva C. now Mrs. W. H. White of Montgomery county; Sarah F., now mr. Dr. M. S. Warren, of Montgomery City. Three, besides these, died in tender years. James R Covington, after he grew up, engaged in farming for himself, which he followed at different places until 1867, when on then 6th of June 1867, he was married to Mrs. Mary Johnson, the widow of Jas. O. Johnson (deceased), and a daughter of Robert Arnold, and thereupon he settled upon his present farm, having to commence with only eighty acres of land. He now has a good place of a quarter of a section of land. He has one of the best orchards in the vicinity. Mr. and Mrs. C. have two children -- Nannie B. and William H. By her former marriage, Mrs. Covington had two children, Alice A., wife of E. A. Robinson, and John, a young man of exceptional promise. Though only twenty-two years of age, he has bought and paid for, by his own industry, a neat place of eighty acres of land in Audrain county. Mr. and Mrs. C. are both members of the Christian church."
