Forward This document is the product of years of research into the story of the Glaves/Gleaves Family in America. It primarily deals with the story of ten generations of the families of three brothers. It is the product of my research, as well as many other dedicated genealogists. As you will see, there are many unanswered questions that still remain about the Family history. The first of these questions is the original spelling of the Family name. Today, GLEAVES is by far the most prevalent. Within this document, whenever the Family surname appears in ITALICIZED-SMALL CAPITAL LETTERS, it is as the spelling appears in the referenced document. Whether it is GLAVES or GLEAVES, it is apparent we are all one family. Much of the documentation in this history comes from extracts of the original documents without viewing the actual court record. Where I have copies of the actual documents, I have attempted to make this known, so that others may request copies. There are so many people to thank for helping to pull this project together. Bob Allen helped with the early leads and the Turk and Allen families as well as Turk vs. Raferty. Lois Gleaves, George Wilkerson, and Jean Gleaves added valuable information to the William Gleaves line. Bill Gleaves and Bob Carver contributed their years of research to the Michael Gleaves family. Finally, I need to offer a special thanks to Bonnie Snow, who not only contributed information on the Glaves and Payne Families, but also encouraged me to undertake this project. I'm sure I have missed others who have contributed information and I assure them that it is my oversight and I hope they will forgive me for my lapse of memory. It is my intent that this will become an evergreen document, not intended to be published in book form, (I have a healthy respect for the copyright laws) but rather to be corrected and added to, as the family history evolves. I intend to distribute it in CD-ROM form, so the various branches of the Family tree can update this document with their own records. There is much more to be added to this Family history. I'm sure there are a numerous mistakes in my research. I only ask, that as others expand upon this work, they pass on to me corrections/additions to this manuscript. Thank you, to all the friends I have made along the way in developing this project. Enjoy Dennis Glaves dennis@glaves.org Table of Contents 1. Matthew Glaves ................................ 4 2.

The lineage can be definitely traced back to 1760 in what was at that time, the American Frontier; Augusta County, Virginia. The patriarch, Matthew Glaves, is the earliest known direct ancestor of the family. Very little is known about Matthew's life, a single entry on the tax rolls is the lone record during his lifetime. Court records involving his wife and children do provide valuable insight and are covered in detail later in this chapter. Despite extensive research by several individuals, no authenticated documentation of Matthew's life has been found prior to 1760. Although we lack hard evidence, several versions of the family history, handed down over time, suggest that he was born in England and emigrated to America as a young man. Matthew's Roots: British Ancestry? A book by Mary B. Kegley, contains a biographical sketch of Matthew's oldest son, William. The sketch begins; "The Gleaves family of Cripple Creek were descended from the Gleaves of Cambridgeshire, England. William Gleaves, the first of the name to come to this part of Virginia, migrated to Pennsylvania and then down the valley of Virginia where he bought lands in 1770 as recorded in Augusta County records." The sketch, printed in its entirety in Chapter 3, makes no mention of William's father, Matthew. Glimpses of Wythe County Virginia Sometime prior to June 2, 1925, Dr. Edgar Lee Gleaves of Nashville, Tennessee took notes during an interview with J. Miller Turner as he recited in great detail, the family history of Michael Gleaves, Matthew's middle son. Mr. Turner was the great grandson of Michael Gleaves. Dr. Gleaves then compiled and subsequently updated a document titled The Gleaves Family. It begins: "The original family by the name of Gleaves came from Dillingham, England, to America, the exact date being unknown. Several years prior to the Colonial War they settled in Virginia near Roanoke where several descendants still live." If Mr. Turner was aware of the name of Michael's father, he did not mention it in the interview. Although it contains several inaccuracies, it provides fascinating detail and portions of the document are included in Chapters 4 & 9, which deal with Michael and his descendants. Coming to America Additional research into Matthew's early life in the New World has provided several possible connections, without the elusive, definite proof, researchers are seeking. Most reports list his older children being born in England, which would have him emigrating in the late 1740s or 1750s. Other than family oral history, there is no proof that any of Matthew's children were born before he came to America. It is quite possible that Matthew emigrated to America through the Port of Philadelphia. The Port was a very active during this period and processed more immigrants than the Port of New York. No record or ship's manifest has been found to document the exact date or location of Matthew's entry into the New World. It is even possible that Matthew's parents could have come to America before he was born. There are documented records of several individuals with the Family surnames coming to the colonies before 1700. It appears that they emigrated to Pennsylvania through the Port of Philadelphia (Chester County). * "George GLAVE (GLEAVE) of Knutsford" and his wife Ann Duncalfe of Hale Bowden Parish came to Bucks County, Pennsylvania in 1682 aboard the ship "The Friends Adventure". George and Ann had been married in 1679 and came to the New World with their son, John, born September 14, 1680. George appears in the Bucks County Court Records in 1686 where he was fined 10 shillings for assaulting Edmund Bennett. More than 60 years transpire before the next entry is found. In 1752, a report of a wedding at the Concord Meetinghouse in Chester County, Pennsylvania lists among the guests, "Elizabeth GLEAVES" and "John GLAVES". If this were George and Ann's son, he would have been 72 years old at the time. Most families on the guest list are grouped with husband, wife and children appearing together. John and Elizabeth appear separately so may not have been husband and wife. There is no record of any Matthew Gleaves found associated with this family. The Pennsylvania Colony * A second "George GLEAVE" settled in Chester County, Pennsylvania in 1683. He and his wife Isabella, along with their son George, arrived in Philadelphia in September of 1683 aboard the ship "Freindship". George and Isabella were indentured servants to John Hough for a period of four years and their son George until he turned 21. They eventually settled in Burlington County, Pennsylvania where he was a wheelwright by trade. George and Isabella both died prior to 1690 and their son George moved to Shrewsbury Parish, Kent County, Maryland. George married a woman named Sarah and the christening dates of their seven children are documented in local church records there. These seven named children were born between 1703 and 1725, although none were named Matthew. The Pennsylvania Colony * By 1700 the surname had spread to Lancaster County, Virginia. In 1699 the will of "Joseph GLAVE" was probated. It appears that he was a recent immigrant and unmarried as he lists his home as Cheshire, England and leaves all his possessions to his mother, Mary Hill. The Virginia State Library Website * Beginning in 1751, "Isaac GLAVES" (sometimes spelled GLEAVES) shows up in court documents in Lancaster and Bedford Counties, Pennsylvania. His is the only name uncovered at this time. Pennsylvania in 1780 None of these reports reference a Matthew in the family. The Most Likely Link The most promising clues to Matthew's origins begin in England, as family history suggests. Robert Allen, a very meticulous genealogist from California, has done the most detailed research of English court and church records pertaining to the family . He has uncovered the most promising link to Matthew's early years. His recently published paper, entitled, Ancestry and Descendants of Matthew Gleaves, Augusta County, VA and subsequent documents contain his findings. "Family tradition is that Michael Gleaves was born in Willingham, England (although the story says "Dillingham", England, but there is no such place). There are a lot of Gleaves from Williamham, England in the late 1600s and early 1700s. Research of Williamham, England records has discovered a Matthew Gleaves who married Amy __?__ and who was buried on 3/27/1709. He had the following children: Alice, baptized 1675, Ann, baptized 1688, Thomas, baptized 1/23/1680/81, and Elizabeth, baptized 1677." "Thomas, who was baptized 1/23/1680/81, married Anne Sneesby on 9/29/1718 and was buried on 6/22/1740. Thomas had the following children: Thomas, baptized 11/16/1720, Joseph, baptized 1/5/1724/25, Matthew (no information) and John, baptized 3/13/1734/35. Thomas wrote a will in 1740 in which he mentions his sons Thomas, John ('when age 21"), Mathew ("when age 21") and Joseph. This is the only Matthew Gleaves in Willingham in the right age bracket to have emigrated to America and died in Augusta Co., VA in 1760." Bill Gleaves has obtained a copy of the Thomas Gleaves' Will and reports that Matthew was to receive the sum of 150 pounds "at age 21 years". This would mean that the earliest he could have been born is 1720. The names "GLAVES" and "GLEAVES" appear in numerous records in several areas of England and to a lesser extent, in Ireland. At this point in time, there does not appear to be any hard evidence that would definitely link Matthew to a particular location, family or surname. As additional document sources come online through the Internet, this question may be answered. Today it remains an unsolved mystery. Several Pennsylvania court records appear more promising, although neither can be absolutely authenticated. In October of 1745, there are at least two documented records in Pennsylvania relating to an individual(s) named "Matthew GLEAVE". In a book about early Pennsylvania, there is a document entitled "Account of Servants Bound and Assigned Before James Hamilton, Mayor of Philadelphia". An entry dated October 12, 1745 states that "Matthew GLEAVE assigns John Marley (a servant from Ireland on the "Snow George) to serve four years, from September 22. Consideration 20 pounds, with customary dues." Emigrants to Pennsylvania A "Matthew GLEAVE" also appears in a book listing marriage records in Pennsylvania. While most entries have a complete date and list both spouses, Matthew's entry is dated "October __, 1745" and does not list a spouse. There is no explanation for the missing information. It is possible that a portion of the record was destroyed or the explanation may be that this Matthew took out a marriage license but never filed it after the ceremony. Either theory is plausible since they are consistent with the birth of his first child Mary, in 1746. There are reports that the license was actually taken out in Lancaster County, where Isaac GLAVES appears in 1751, although this author has not been able to document this fact. Pennsylvania Marriages Prior to 1790 If either of these two entries pertain to our Matthew, then all his children would have been born in America. Augusta County, Virginia The Shenandoah Valley of Virginia was considered to be the frontier of the American Colonies during this period and Indian raiding parties were still common occurrences. This part of the Valley was settled by the Scotch-Irish and Germans, most of whom came from Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware beginning in 1732. The colonial government encouraged them to settle in the Valley, partly to act as a buffer between the English settlements east of the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Indians to the west and north. A number of small farming communities sprang up throughout its 200-mile length. The Valley served as a natural migration route for settlers who could avoid crossing the Blue Ridge Mountains by entering the valley from the north in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Framed by the Blue Ridge on the east and the Appalachian Mountains on the west, it extends nearly the full length of the present day boundary between Virginia and West Virginia. At the southern end of the Valley, the Cumberland Gap would be used by Daniel Boone and others to spread the westward expansion of settlements into Tennessee beginning in the 1780s. Augusta County, Virginia was created in November of 1738, from Orange County. Until 1770, when Botetourt County was set off, Augusta was the largest county in the world, stretching to the Mississippi River on the west and north through Illinois and a corner of Wisconsin. The name Augusta was given to the county in honor of Princess Augusta, mother of George III of England. During the 1730-1750 timeframe, much of the land in the Valley was deeded by Lord Fairfax of Virginia to land speculators. In exchange for grants of hundreds of thousands of acres, these men agreed to attract settlers to the region. Much of the current County of Augusta embraces the boundaries of the Beverley Manor Grant obtained by William Beverley of Essex County, Virginia in 1736. This grant abuts portions of the Borden Grant to the south. The settlers, under the rule of the British Crown, were organized into the colonial militia. All male landowners were required to enlist in one of the companies of militia, which were formed in their local communities. The militia served two purposes; the first was for the protection of the settlers. A second important function was to provide the British government with a method of identifying taxable individuals within the colonies. The Glaves Family of Augusta County, Virginia The first known fact about Matthew Glaves Sr. is that he came to Augusta County, Virginia in the Shenandoah Valley prior to 1760. "Matthew GLAVES" is listed on the County tax rolls for that year as delinquent with the notation "too poor" next to his name. No location of the property is given. There are undocumented reports that Matthew Sr. settled on the banks of the South River, which runs through present day Rockingham and Augusta Counties. The South River is formed when the South Fork of the Shenandoah River divides in Rockingham County near the present day town of Waynesboro. The area is known as Crimora and is on the western side of the Blue Ridge Mountains. This description is consistent with the land dealings of Matthew Glaves Jr. in 1785. Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia It is not known if Matthew Sr. came to Augusta County with other family members, although this appears unlikely. No other occurrence of the names "GLAVES" or "GLEAVES" appears in court records other than those of his children. A single entry in May of 1770 names "David GLASE" on a land patent. This author is inclined to think this to be a misspelling of "Glass", of which there were several in the County during this period. As reported earlier in this chapter, there is no documented record of Matthew's marriage, although the Pennsylvania marriage license appears to be highly plausible. Indeed, no other records of the family appear until 1771, more than 10 years after the initial Augusta County tax entry. Up until this point we know nothing about his wife or children. In 1771, things begin to change. 1771 On March 22, 1771, Augusta County Court Order Book #14 contains an entry where a "William GLAVES is appointed guardian ad litem for Esther GLAVES, orphan of Matthew GLAVES, deceased." A guardian ad litem was a person of legal age appointed to litigate a cause of action for a minor child or incompetent person. At this point there is no information as to William's relationship to either Matthew or Esther. Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia Lyman Chalkley's three-volume Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia, extracted from the Original Court Records of Augusta County, 1745-1800 (Rosslyn, Va., 1912-1913) is the most often quoted reference work that contains abstracts taken from the Augusta County court records. This work is not without serious flaws. The document was reviewed before publication by the Daughters of the American Revolution, who found that the abstracts contained an abundance of transcription errors, erroneous dates, misspelled names, material omissions, and other serious mistakes. They concluded that the abstracts were "condensed to the point of mutilation" and that many entries misrepresented the contents of the original documents. It was also pointed out that Chalkley had abstracted only some of the records that pertained to persons and families in which he was interested. "Publication of the abstracts could easily lead to the erroneous conclusion that the absence in the abstracts of information about a person or a family meant that there was no information on the person or family in the county court's records". Despite this criticism, Chalkley published his Extract and it serves as principal resource for research in Augusta County, Virginia. For many years, researchers had no other clues to the Matthew Glaves family. These two small references were the only records of the origins in Augusta County. Only recently, has Bob Allen, a Turk family researcher, uncovered an error that sheds additional light on our ancestors. Turk vs. Raferty Chalkley reports a lawsuit titled Turk vs. Rafferty under "County Court Judgments, March 1772, Vol. I, p. 365". The case involved a dispute over the estate of "Matthew GROVE". Bob Allen obtained a copy of the original records in the Augusta County, Virginia Courthouse that Chalkley viewed in writing his abstract of this lawsuit. The actual record reveals that the family involved in the lawsuit is "GLAVE", not "GROVE". Although the document is quite lengthy and overly verbose, the key points are listed below. Most documents from this time period were drafted using little or no punctuation and sometimes-random capitalization. This document is no exception to that trend. This author has attempted to transcribe this text exactly as it appears in the original lawsuit. You will notice that the spelling of the name appears with and without the "S". Turk & wife v Raferty & wife "George the Third by the Grace of God of great Britain France & Ireland King Defender of the Faith To the Sherif of Augusta County Greeting we command you that you summon Thomas Raferty and Esther his wife To appear before the Justices of our said County Court at the Court House of the County on the third Tuesday in next month to Answer a Bill in Chancery (illegible) whereby Thomas TURK and Mary his wife, William GLAVE and Elizabeth GLAVE, and Michael GLAVE, Esther GLAVE and Matthew GLAVE. Infants by William GLAVE their guardian of this they shall in no wise omit under the penalty of 100 (pounds)" "To The Worshipful his Majesties. Justices of the County Court of Augusta (illegible) on Chancery Humbly Complaining their (illegible) of the Worships Your orator, Thomas TURK and Mary his wife, William GLAVES, Elizabeth GLAVE, Michael GLAVE, Easter GLAVE, and Matthew GLAVE, infants by William GLAVE their guardian -- That sometime on or about the year one thousand seven hundred and sixty your orators' father Matthew GLAVES departed this life intestate without making any disposition of his estate or effects and who at the time of his death was possessed of a very considerable personal estate. Orators having been informed consisting of Horses, Cattle, Hog's, Sheep, Household goods, and all kind of implements of Husbandry. That upon the Orator's father's death their mother Esther, since intermarried with Thomas Raferty the Defendants hereafter named possessed herself of the whole estate (your orators then being infants of very tender years) without ever taking out Letters of administration, soon after which before she disposed of the same intermarried with the other Defendant Thomas Raferty by virtue of which intermarriage he took the whole of your Orators estate into his custody and possession and used possessed and disposed of the same without ever rendering any account to either of your orators or to this worshipful Court. Your Orators Mary TURK and William GLAVES since having come of age have often and in a friendly manner requested him so to do as such on his own account as on behalf of his infant brothers and sisters...." Although there is no record of a judgement, this single document provides a wealth of information about the Matthew Glaves family. It establishes Matthew's approximate date of death and names his wife Esther and his children. It tells us that Matthew died intestate, having no will. The document mentions "horses, cattle, pigs and household items", but no land. The family had probably settled on unclaimed land but had not had the necessary survey done in order to patent it and gain title. The actual lawsuit was dated August 20, 1771, although the case was not heard until the following March. A copy of the actual complaint in Turk vs. Raferty reveals how Lyman Chalkley could have interpreted the surname as "GROVE". The actual document is 2 1/2 legal pages in length. During the Colonial period, the death of a husband required that a guardian be named for any minor children, even if the wife were still alive. The English Laws of Primogeniture were still in force in the Colony of Virginia at this time. Under this law, unless a will stipulated otherwise, the entire estate passed to the oldest son, in this case William. It was not until 1790 that a wife in Virginia was entitled to a third of her husband's estate, now known as her Dower Rights. The guardian (or guardians) was to ensure that the children's portion of the estate was managed properly until they reached majority. In many cases the guardian was a relative. The lawsuit claims that Esther never appeared before the court to have a guardian named for her children. Mary and William are listed as "having come of age" meaning they were no longer considered minors by the court. Male children reached the age of majority at 21 and females at 18. According to the bible of James Turk, his mother, Mary Gleaves, was born on June 12, 1746, meaning that she was 25 at the time of lawsuit. If William was named as Guardian for his sister, Esther in 1771 the latest he could have been born would be 1750. If third child Elizabeth, was still a minor when the lawsuit was filed in August of 1771, the earliest she could have been born would be 1753. Boys over the age of fourteen and girls over the age of twelve were allowed to choose their own guardians and many court records reflect this action. Younger children had guardians appointed by the Court. It appears from the 1771 entry that Esther had not yet turned twelve since William was appointed, not chosen by her. This would place her birth year as 1759 or after. The one question remaining is whether William's being named "Guardian ad litem" would have negated her ability to choose. The "ad litem' entry was not very common in court records. The Matthew Glaves Family If Matthew's children are listed in the lawsuit according to age, we can make a fairly accurate guess as to when they were born. Born Mary June 12, 1746 (Turk Family Bible) William 1747 - 1750 Elizabeth After 1753 Michael After 1753 Esther Late 1750s Matthew Late 1750s or early 1760s It is not known if there are any other errors or omissions in Chalkley's volumes that deal with the Matthew Glaves family. Until someone publishes a more complete extract, we may never know. Esther About 1728 - after 1808 The early life of Matthew's wife Esther has been a mystery and the subject of a good deal of research with very limited results. If Esther were born in 1730, she would have been just 16 when her oldest child, Mary, was born in 1746. It is likely that she was born sometime before that date, although no proof exists. The Mitchell Controversy Esther's maiden name is unknown, although a number of researchers list her as "Esther Mitchell". Thusfar, nothing can be found that would clearly identify her as a Mitchell. There was a Mitchell family in Augusta County in the mid-1700s and John Mitchell was a prominent citizen appearing in numerous court records. John appears on early maps of the Beverly Patent owning 609 acres in the southern end of the grant in an area known as Greenville. John Mitchell was in the Augusta County area as early as 1743 when he is listed in Orange County Court Records (Parent County of Augusta) as turning in a "wolf's head". There must have been some form of bounty paid for destroying predators. A second record that may pertain to another John Mitchell appears November 21, 1754 in a simple entry; "John Mitchell indented servant to John Hanna". There is no other evidence to suggest that our John Mitchell was an indentured servant. Orange County Court Records If Esther was the daughter of John Mitchell, the 1743 entry places them in the area early enough for her to marry Matthew Glaves prior to the birth of their oldest daughter Mary in 1746. Now comes a curious entry that has yet to be explained by those discounting the family connection. John Mitchell made his will September 23, 1780 and died in 1783. His will lists several individuals named Russell receiving inheritances as well as an "Esther Turk". Esther is positively identified when later in the will the following appears; "THOMAS Turk, father of Esther, is to control her legacy until she is of age". Thomas was the husband of Mary Glaves, oldest child of Matthew and Esther. There is no explanation included in the will documenting what, if any, relationship the younger Esther had to John Mitchell. Esther would have been about 13 years old at the time the will was written. There were three witnesses on John Mitchell's will, John Reaugh, Margaret Kirk and Mary Turk. It would appear that Mary is Mary Gleaves-Turk, wife of Thomas and daughter of Matthew and Esther Glaves. Turning to the other two witnesses, "John Reaugh" appears to be John Rhea who married Margaret Turk, daughter of Thomas and Mary around this same time. Rhea family records list the surname with both spellings. If this is in fact the case, could "Margaret Kirk" actually be Margaret Turk? The signature on the will is definitely "Kirk". If there is any connection between Esther and John Mitchell, he made no mention of it in his will. Esther had remarried and moved to Washington County, Virginia during the previous decade. John Mitchell's connection to the Thomas Turk family remains a mystery but provides researchers with countless interesting connections that only heighten the Mitchell controversy. Augusta County, Virginia Will Book #6 Life after Matthew As reported earlier, Esther remarried after the death of Matthew. Augusta County Court Records show that she and "Thomas Rafferty" were married on June 6, 1762. This marriage and the 1772 lawsuit are the only known references to Thomas Rafferty in Augusta County. Sometime in the late 1760s or early 1770s, Thomas and Esther moved further south to Washington County, Virginia on the North Carolina border. They were among the earliest settlers of the area and the "Thomas Raferty Family" is listed as being in the county previous to 1772. He is listed with other heads of families in Rev. Charles Cummings' Congregation at Sinking Spring, a Presbyterian Church. Historical Sketches of the Campbell, Pilcher and Kindred Families The first great migration to Washington County was from the Augusta County area, so it is presumed they traveled with others to this new region. If this report is true, then they had already left Augusta County when Turk vs. Raferty was filed. Thomas Rafferty died testate in Washington County, Virginia in 1780. His will, dated October 21, 1779, mentions "his wife", although Esther's name does not appear on the document. It also mentions "daughters, Elizabeth and Margaret" with no last names given. Esther made a motion to become the Administrator, with the will annexed on March 20, 1780. Esther's oldest son, William Gleaves, by now living in nearby Montgomery County, was one of the securities for the administrator's bond. Washington County Virginia Will Book 1 On January 9, 1786, Esther Rafferty received a Land Grant in Washington County from the Commonwealth of Virginia. "Know ye that by virtue of a certificate in Rights of Settlement given by the Commissioners for adjusting the titles of unpatented lands in the District of Washington and Montgomery and in consideration of the Ancient Compensation of two pounds sterling paid by Esther Rafferty into the Treasury of the Commonwealth, there is granted...a certain tract of land containing four hundred acres...on a branch of the Southfork of the Holstein River, called Mill Creek adjoining Francis Whitney and John Gross' land." The grant goes on to describe the boundries of the property measured in "poles". The Grant was signed Patrick Henry, who was the Governor of Virginia at the time. It's not clear if he actually signed the document or if some other official signed for him. It was somewhat unusual for a woman to receive a Land Grant although not unheard of. A scanned copy of this and many other documents pertaining to Virginia family land records may be found on the Virginia State Library Internet site at: http//image.vtls.com/. The Library of Virginia Land Records On March 14, 1786, in Washington County, Virginia, Esther married for the third time, to Elias Woolman. It is unclear how long they remained in Washington County since upon Elias Woolman's death in 1795, his widow, Esther, was granted her motion to be the Administrator of the estate in Augusta County, Virginia. The motion was granted on December 15, 1795. It is unclear if Elizabeth and Elias had returned to Augusta prior to his death or if she traveled there subsequently. Most of her children had moved away from the area more than ten years previously. The only known family members remaining in Augusta County at that time were her daughter and son-in-law, Thomas and Mary Turk. Augusta County Court Records, Order Book #23 By now, Esther had outlived three husbands. Researcher, Bob Allen reports the last direct link to Esther. It occurred when she executed a Power of Attorney in Buncombe County, North Carolina on April 19, 1797. The document was later recorded in Washington County, Virginia on February 19, 1799. Present day Buncombe County is in the Asheville, North Carolina area, some distance from Washington County, Virginia. No explanation for her being in this area has been offered by any Family Researcher. Esther appeared to be still living on August 3, 1808 when her son-in-law, Thomas Turk, Sr. wrote his Will in Augusta County, Virginia and provided therein for her support; "I desire that my wife's mother, Esther Woolman shall have a decent support out of my estate during her natural life or widowhood". Augusta County Court Records Records pertaining to Esther's death or final resting-place have yet to be found. It does not appear that she was estranged from her children, so she may have lived close to one of them in her last years. Esther would have been about 70 years old when Thomas Turk wrote his will. This author suspects, without any proof, that she likely lived her final days in Augusta County, Virginia, near her daughter. This detail; along with her maiden name remain mysteries. The Children Of Matthew and Esther The children and grandchildren of Matthew and Esther are documented in detail in Chapters 2-6. These three generations span the first one hundred years of the Family's presence in the New World. As you will see, many unanswered questions remain for others to discover. 2 The Family of Mary Gleaves Turk June 12, 1746 - March 2, 1835 Mary appears to be the oldest child of Matthew and Esther Glaves. She is the only one of the six children whose actual birthdate is known. Family history would have her born in England and emigrating to America with her parents at an early age. The James Turk Bible establishes her birthdate but does not provide a clue as to the location. As discussed in Chapter One, it is also possible that she, and her brothers and sisters were all born in the New World. No records have been found pertaining to Mary's life prior to her marriage. We know from Augusta County tax records that her family was in the Shenandoah Valley no later than 1760. The first time she appears in Augusta County, Virginia court records is 1771. Mary Turk and her husband, along with her brothers and sisters, are litigants in the Turk vs. Raferty lawsuit over her Father's estate. Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia Unlike her brothers, Mary appears to have lived most of her life in Augusta County. There are no known records of Mary Gleaves Turk or her husband Thomas occurring anywhere else. For a more complete description of early Augusta County refer to Chapter 1. Mary was the second wife of Thomas Turk Sr., a second-generation member of one of the earliest families to settle in the Shenandoah Valley. Thomas and Mary were married on April 1, 1766 in Augusta County, Virginia. There is no known official record of the marriage, although it is recorded in a family bible. Some family records give the location of the marriage as the town of Staunton, although there is no proof. At the time of their marriage, Mary was 19 years old and Thomas more than twice her age, at approximately 48. James Turk Bible Mary Turk was part of the controversy over her Mother's, possible connection to the John Mitchell family. When Mitchell made his will in 1780, Mary was one of the witnesses. The will, proved in the Augusta County Court in 1783, also lists an "Esther TURK" as one of the beneficiaries. Mary and Thomas had a daughter, born about 1767, named Esther, and the will identifies Thomas as her Father. Mary's mother was also named Esther, although in 1780 her married name was believed to be "Rafferty". For more detail of this issue, see the section on Esther Glaves in Chapter 1. Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia The Turk Family of Augusta County, Virginia Mary's husband, Thomas was the son of Robert and Margaret Turk. His mother's maiden name is unknown. Robert Turk was a Scotch-Irish Presbyterian from Ulster Province, Northern Ireland. He is believed to have emigrated to Boston with his family sometime around 1720. Turk family researchers claim that Robert paid the passage for his family to come from England and was not an indentured servant. Sometime before the late 1730s, Robert moved his family to Virginia and obtained land through the Orange County Court under a procedure known as "Headrights". Headrights were grants of 50 acres per "head" granted by the Colony of Virginia to males over 16 who were willing to clear land in undeveloped areas of the state. On February 28, 1739, Robert Turk entered an application in the Orange County Court of Common Pleas. This Headrights function served as the only real immigration record during this time period. The entry lists the following individuals: "Robert Turk, Margrot, Jane, John, Ann, Thomas, James & William Turk". Next to the entry is a notation "from Ireland". Orange County Court Records Turk Family records suggest that Robert patented land in Orange County even before that date. There are reports of records dated as early as September 6, 1736. We do know that Robert Turk had obtained a tract of land from William Beverley at least partially within the boundaries of the Beverley Manor Patent. The tract of land consisted of 1313 acres. It is reported that Robert paid the sum of 40 pounds for the property. Since Beverley did not get around to recording these grants until 1745, the actual date is unclear. Family records list the transaction as occurring in 1739 as does one of the maps of early settlers in the area. The map on the following page shows the location of the property within Beverley Manor. Beginnings Beyond the Mountains The Congregation of the Triple Forks of the Shenandoah Most of the settlers in this part of the Valley were Scotch Irish Presbyterians who wasted little time in setting up their churches. The Congregation of the Triple Forks of the Shenandoah, established two meeting houses in 1740; Tinkling Spring and the Augusta Stone, both served by Reverend John Craig. The Virginia Colony, although somewhat tolerant of other religions, was an English Colony. All dissenting churches were called "Meeting Houses" while the word "Church" applied only to the Church of England The first Tinkling Spring Meeting House, built in 1744, was a log cabin measuring twenty-four by fifty feet. The original members of the Congregation were assessed 12 shillings each to build it. Church records list "Turk" among those families. Several of Robert's children were baptized there including Thomas, although no date is given. The Tinkling Spring: Headwater of Freedom The map above is of the eastern portion of the Beverley Patent, about 1760. The 118,000 acres of the Patent ran generally from the northeast to the southwest. Robert Turk's name appears in the northeast corner with the number "1313" underneath. The number represents the acreage purchased from William Beverley in 1739. The area was known as Crimora. It appears that the South River ran through the property and a portion of the property may actually be located outside of the Beverley Patent. The map also shows "Turk's Gap" which was a passage over the nearby Blue Ridge Mountains that appears on USGS maps today. "Turk's Run" is a stream running from the mountains into the South River, it has been renamed. The Tinkling Spring Meeting House is located to the Southwest. This is the land inherited by Thomas Turk Sr from his Father. A November 1747 Augusta Court entry confirms that Robert settled the land prior to 1741. That year, Robert was brought to court by a group of church trustees from the Tinkling Spring Congregation for failure to pay his portion of the Pastor John Craig's salary for the years 1741-46. The amount due was one Pound per year. They attached a copy of the mutual obligations between the Congregation and their Commissioners. Robert eventually paid the debt. Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia By May 21, 1747 we know he had settled the family homestead. On that date the following Augusta County Court entry was recorded. "Road to be repaired from Alexr. Thomson's to top of Ridge leading to Louisa,..... with the tithables from the So. Mountain.....by Ro. Turk's" ...A map on the previous page shows that the location of the Turk homestead is consistent with roadwork described above. Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia The dirt road on the right side of this picture is Robert Turk Lane, located in the Crimora area of Augusta County. It runs a quarter mile eastward from Rockfish Pike and stops just short of the South River. In the background, Turk Mountain rises on the other side of the river. This is the land shown on the preceding map settled by Robert Turk. When Robert Turk died in 1772 he left his entire estate to his son, Thomas Sr. A second son, James received just one shilling. There is no mention of Robert's wife Margaret, sons John and William or daughters Jane and Ann. Signing the will as one of the witnesses is Thomas' daughter "Elizabeth GLEAVE" who had married William Gleaves two years earlier. Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia Thomas Turk Sr. March 1718 - 1809 Family records have the birth of Mary's husband Thomas occurring in 1718. There are conflicting reports concerning Thomas' date of birth with at least one record placing it as 1710. A declaration made by Thomas in a 1798 court case, Estill vs. Ramsey, in which he states his age as 88 has led to the confusion. Thomas could not write so whoever transcribed his statement may have made a mistake. In either instance it appears he was born in Ireland. In this case, family records appear to be more accurate than other reports. James Turk Bible During the 1740-50s, the sons of Robert Turk, James and his younger brother, Thomas, were beginning to make their own marks. Thomas is believed to have been a farmer and landowner, since no records have been uncovered listing any other occupation. The earliest report of Thomas acquiring land occurs in 1741 when his father deeded 437 acres to him. 437 acres is exactly one third of 1,313, the total acreage of the tract of land Robert had obtained from William Beverley in 1736. It is not known if Robert gave a similar share to his son James. Orange County Court Records There is a report that Thomas appeared in Augusta County Court acquiring land in March 1751. He supposedly received "400 acres on the South river adjoining Christian Clayman's line and Thomas Kenley". A man named "Christian Clemmons" appears on the map of the Beverley Patent with his lands located just north of the Patent boundary. This author does not doubt the authenticity of this claim, but has not yet located this entry. The earliest documented record of Thomas acquiring land on his own is a Patent dated September 10, 1755. On that date he filed Patent #31 for "226 acres on the south side of the South River of Shanando". On the same day his father filed for 100 acres "On both sides of the south river of Shanando". Copies of these and other Patents may be viewed online at the Library of Virginia website. Patents were issued by the Colony of Virginia to pass title to unclaimed lands. After the Revolution, Land Grants were issued in their place. Theoretically, the land was the property of the George the Second, King of England. Patents were issued by applying directly to the Colonial Capital in Williamsburg. This first Patent was most likely for unclaimed land north of the Beverley Manor Patent. Robert Dinwiddie, Colonial Governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia, granted the patent. Thomas paid "the Sum of Fifteen Shillings of Good and Lawful Money" for the Patent. This appears to be a much better deal than his father got in 1739 when he paid 40 pounds sterling for 1,313 acres, a portion of a Patent granted to William Beverley in 1736. Virginia Patent Book 31, pages 607-608 From 1755 through 1797, this author has found 12 patents and grants issued to Thomas Turk Sr. totaling over 3,300 acres. On a single day, August 31, 1789, he received four land grants totaling 1,210 acres. His brother James filed several patents as well. In each case, Thomas had to have a survey done and this description was included in the document transferring ownership. These surveys included direction (including degrees), distance (measured in poles), natural landmarks and the names of owners of adjoining property. Many of the parcels are described as lying on the banks of the South River between it and the South Mountain. The South Mountain appears to have been renamed, as the one that appears on maps today is 40 miles south of Crimora in Rockbridge County, Virginia. The grants continue to list Augusta County after Rockbridge was formed in 1778, so it appears the properties were in the Crimora area, adjacent to the Blue Ridge Mountains and near his father's original settlement. This author believes the South Mountain referred to in these land grants is in fact, present day Turk Mountain, renamed sometime after 1800. Thomas Turk's Marriage to Margaret In 1747, six years after acquiring land from his father, Thomas married for the first time. He would have been about 29 years old at the time. Although not recorded in court records, it is believed to have occurred in Augusta County, Virginia. His marriage was to a woman named Margaret, although her maiden name is unknown. Some researchers identify her as Margaret Kerr. This author knows of no documentation of this surname. Margaret died sometime around 1762. Thomas and Margaret appear in Augusta County Court in March of 1756. Turk vs. Walker involved a lawsuit against Moses Walker and Agnes his wife. No details on the case or its outcome have been uncovered. The couple returned in the same court on August 16, 1758 when Thomas and Margaret sell land to Thomas' brother, James Turk. The land is described as "320 acres on South river, Shando; corner to land formerly Bloodworth's crossing the cranberry swamps. Christian Clemance's land". This is most likely the land believed to have been acquired from "Christian Clayman" in 1751. James paid 50 pounds for the property. Augusta County Court Records In August of 1762, James Turk and his wife Mary returned the favor selling land to Thomas. "250 acres on South river of Shanandoe below Humble's land". The price paid was 40 pounds. Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia Thomas Turk's Militia Record Several sources detail Thomas' involvement in the Augusta County Militia during a period of almost 30 years. In August 1756 Thomas is listed as a private in Captain James Allen's Company. Captain Allen's son would later marry one of Thomas' daughters. He is also reported to have been a private in Captain William Louis' Company in 1757. Thomas was court-maritaled by Captain Louis for missing a general muster, date unknown. He is further documented as being a member of Captain Thomas Rankin's Company 1780-83. His youngest brother-in-law, Matthew Glaves Jr. was also a member of Rankin's Company during this same period. Daughters of the American Revolution Application #63861 Thomas probably was enrolled in other units during the missing years, as participation was mandatory. Very possibly, these records were lost over the years. There is no record of Thomas participating in the Revolutionary War (1775-1783). He would have been almost 60 years old at the time it began. No evidence has been uncovered to date that would document Captain Rankin's Company being involved in any military engagements during this period. There is a family report that Thomas served as a private in Captain Alexander's Company in 1778. This author has not found the record, as of yet. Augusta County Tax Records document Thomas' participation in the militia after 1783. He and Thomas Jr. are found throughout the 1780s in various companies. Augusta County Tax Records The Gleaves & Turk Connection Thomas and Margaret had at least three children during this first marriage. While they are not direct descendants of the Matthew Glaves line, each has connections to the family that needs to be explained to help the casual reader understand the intermarriages that occurred during this period. Jane Turk (1747/48-1845) The oldest child of Thomas and Margaret, Jane married Robert Allen on May 18, 1768. Robert Allen was a Revolutionary War soldier and was present at the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown in 1781. He died about 1789. After her husband's death, Jane emigrated to Kentucky in 1798 with 7 sons and 4 daughters and settled in Cumberland County, in the Marrowbone Valley, on Allen's Creek. Robert had explored this land previously and hoped to move his family there. He died before he could realize his dream, so Jane fulfilled his vision. Nathan Allen (1781-1871) was one of the sons of this marriage. In 1810 he married Sarah "Sallie" Gleaves in Wythe County, Virginia. Sarah was the daughter of William Gleaves and his mother's sister, Elizabeth Turk-Gleaves. Sarah was Nathan's cousin. Sarah and Nathan are profiled in the next chapter. It is through Nathan Allen's Bible that the birthdates of Sallie and her siblings have been documented. Wythe County, Virginia Marriage Records Elizabeth "Betty" Turk (1753-1840) Elizabeth was the middle child of Thomas and Margaret. It is through her marriage that the families of her brother and sister first connect with the Gleaves family. In 1770, Elizabeth married William Gleaves, the brother of her father's second wife, Mary. This made her stepmother her sister-in-law as well. Elizabeth's life is profiled in the next chapter. Thomas Turk Jr. (1755-1833) The youngest child of Thomas Sr. and Margaret, Thomas Jr. was also a Revolutionary War veteran. Thomas married Ann Rhea in 1777. Thomas and Ann lived most of their lives in Augusta County, although they later moved to Tennessee, where they both died. Thomas is listed on a 1792 Augusta County Land Grant with his sister, Jane Allen (widow of Robert Allen). The land, 400 acres, "Near the South Mountain on the waters of the South River" would be near the lands patented by his father and grandfather. Virginia Grants Book 26, page 407 Thomas and Ann Rhea-Turk had at least four children; the youngest was Thomas Turk III (1782-1826). On December 24, 1802, in Wythe County, Virginia, he married Margaret "Peggy" Gleaves, another daughter of William Gleaves and his father's sister, Elizabeth Turk-Gleaves. Again, Thomas III and Peggy were cousins. Thomas and Peggy are profiled in the next chapter under the section dealing with the children of William and Elizabeth Gleaves. Wythe County, Virginia Marriage Records Thomas Turk's Marriage to Mary Gleaves During the period of the late 1760s there were very few court entries regarding Thomas Turk. Margaret had died by 1762. As previously reported, Thomas married for a second time on April 1, 1766. His bride was Mary GLEAVES, a woman less than half his age. They soon began a second family, with Mary giving birth to their first child in 1767. This marriage was not recorded with the Augusta County Court although it is documented in family records. James Turk Bible A single court entry has been found during the latter part of the 1760s. A November 18, 1767 entry lists a number of men being issued "hemp certificates"; Thomas was among them. Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia 1772 1772 was a very busy year for the Turk family; they reappear in Augusta County Court with gusto. In March, Thomas and Mary were involved in the Turk vs. Raferty lawsuit detailed in the previous chapter. The next month, in April, James Turk sued his father Robert, to recover monies James had paid for his daughter Elizabeth's education in Carolina. In August, Thomas sued his brother James over a 1758 agreement where Thomas had apprenticed his daughter Elizabeth, to James. From the lawsuit we learn that Elizabeth was only five years and two months old at the time she was apprenticed. By November, Robert had died leaving his son Thomas the entire estate with his brother James receiving a single shilling. In many cases a single shilling was given to heirs who had been provided for, prior to the father's death. It was also used as a way to insure that those children out of favor did not contest the will by claiming that their father forgot them when he drafted the document. The exact reason in this case remains a mystery. It is not known if James was truly alienated from his father. Thomas had received property from his father previously, so it is quite possible that bad blood existed between James and his father because of the lawsuit. Augusta County Court Records Sometime that same year Thomas deeded land to his son Thomas Jr. "condition, Love and Affection". There may have been a problem with the deed since Thomas Jr. was only 17 years old at the time and still a minor. In May of 1792 a court proceeding was conducted to clear up the matter. Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia The Thomas Turk Family During this period, Thomas and Mary prospered on there own as he acquired more land and livestock. Between 1767 and 1780 family records indicate that they had at least five children. By the early 1780s, Virginia began collecting a tax on the personal property of its residents. The tax exists today on cars, boats, etc. The 1784 Augusta County Personal Property Tax roll lists Thomas Turk Sr. owning 13 slaves, 17 horses and 41 cattle. It appears that Thomas and Mary Turk are the first known slave owners in the family. Virginia State Library On May 26, 1789, Alexander Long entered a "Writ of Slander" against Thomas in the Augusta Court. While we do not know the details, we do know that Long was a physician and a lady named Mary Wallace was also involved. The verdict was for the plaintiff, although no details of any damages paid by Thomas exist In the 1790s Thomas was involved in a number of land disputes, not all as a litigant, but rather as a historical expert. It seems that as a younger man Thomas had done some work as a surveyor's assistant. Many of the early surveys done to support patents were inaccurate and disputes arose as land changed hands or was divided. In Kennerley vs. John Allison, April 7, 1795 "Thomas Turk Sr. deposes, about sixty years ago he, Thomas, carried the chain upon survey of a tract for William Russell". His testimony helped clear the title for the Russell family. Augusta County Court Records Thomas Turk's Will "Thomas Turk my Father was born In The Year of Our Lord in 1718 - Mary Gleaves, my Mother was born the 12th Day of June 1746-Thomas and Mary were married April first 1766 - And he Departed this life the 22nd Of June 1809." The James Turk Bible Thomas Turk's will was written on August 3, 1808 in Augusta County, Virginia. Some family records also list this date as his date of death, although the actual date was in 1809. He would have been at least 90 years old when he died. The exact date is listed in the James Turk Bible. The will was proven to be authentic in the Augusta Court on July 24, 1809. It mentions a number of individuals by name including, "wife Mary", and "wife's mother Esther Woolman". Among those receiving an inheritance are two namesake grandsons, "Thomas Turk McCullough" and "Thomas Turk Rhea". All of his living children from both of Thomas' marriages are mentioned in the will, with daughters listed by their married names. The estate was to be divided between Mary and her children, "daughters Esther Johnston, Betsey Coger, Rebecca Anderson," (two daughters, Mary McCollough and Margaret Rhea appear to have died previously) and "son James Turk". The children from Thomas' first marriage to Margaret; "Jane Allen, Betty GLAVE and Thomas Turk" (Jr.) each received the sum of one shilling. As previously discussed, this was usually done in cases where heirs had received their share of their father's estate before his death. We know that Thomas had already given land to Thomas Jr. in 1772, but there is no record of what, if anything, he gave to Jane or Betty. Thomas could not write and signed his will with his mark. Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia Mary's Life after Thomas Mary was provided for in her husband's Will. She was about 62 years old at the time of Thomas' death. There is very little information about her after his death. She probably lived with one of her children during this period. As previously discussed, her mother, now Esther Woolman, may have been with her during part of this period. Mary's death is recorded in her son's bible as March 2, 1835, living almost 30 years after Thomas died. There is no known record of her remarrying and given her age, it is unlikely that she did. "Mary Turk Departed this Life on Monday Morning the Second of March 1835 aged Eighty Nine Years Three Months and Twenty Days" The James Turk Bible The Turk Legacy The Turk family had a significant impact in the vicinity of the Northeast corner of the Beverley Manor Patent during the latter half of the 18th Century; Robert was one of its earliest settlers. Thomas and James, expanded the family lands and Thomas Jr. was a Revolutionary War hero. Although later generations moved away, the family legacy remains even today. The U.S. Geological Survey lists a number of geographical features bearing the Family Name. Because of their locations, there is little doubt that they are named for members of the Robert Turk family. Most are in present day Augusta County, east of Staunton and north of Waynesboro. All of the features described below are today, within the boundaries of Shenandoah National Park. They appear on two USGS maps titled Crimora and Waynesboro East. http://mapping.usgs.gov/www/gnis/MapServer * Turk Gap: This appears to be the same feature that appears on the 1750 map of the Beverley Manor Patent. It is a passage over the Blue Ridge Mountains. * Turk Mountain: Part of the Blue Ridge Chain and is just south of Turk Gap. This mountain appears to formerly named South Mountain * Turk Mountain Overlook: Appears to be a feature on Skyline Drive, a road that runs the crest of the Blue Ridge Mountains for over 70 miles. Another name for the road is the Blue Ridge Parkway. * Turk Branch: The "Turk's Branch" on the 1750 map was on the western slope of the Blue Ridge Mountains and has been renamed. This stream is on the eastern slope in Abermarle County. It appears that the stream begins very near Turk's Gap. * Turk Branch Trail: Runs along Turk Branch on the East Side of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The Children of Thomas and Mary Turk Mary and Thomas had at least five children that lived to adulthood. Their names are recorded in a bible belonging to their son, James Turk. The records in the bible are incomplete with regard to other vital statistics on most of the children. This bible and Thomas Turk's Will offer the most information on the family. All of the children appear to have been born in Augusta County, Virginia. Documentation of the children born into Thomas' first marriage appears to be much more extensive than the information located so far on Mary's children. 1) Mary "Polly" Turk About 1746 - Before 1809 Little is known about Mary's life. Her birth and death dates are not known. Researchers have her marrying Thomas McCollough on August 31, 1802. The marriage of Polly Turk to Thomas McCullough is recorded. Augusta County Marriages Mary appears to have died prior to 1808, when her Father had his will drafted. The married names of the other daughters appear in the will as well as the names of two grandsons; "Thomas Turk McCollough and Thomas Turk Rhea". Both grandsons appear to have lost their mothers before that date. 2) Rebecca Turk Before 1780 - After 1821 Rebecca is believed to have been married twice, first to James Anderson on January 14, 1803 and then to Hugh Glen on November 13, 1821. Both marriages are reported to have occurred in Augusta County, Virginia, although no court record has been found. Rebecca had five children with James Anderson and their names are known, but not the dates of birth. There are no children recorded from her second marriage and it is unlikely that any existed since she would have been over 40 at the time. This author does not have any information regarding Rebecca's date and location of death, nor similar information about either of her two husbands. 3) Margaret Turk About 1770 - Before 1809 Little is known about Margaret's life. Some researchers list her nickname as "Mary", although she had a sister by that name. There are also those who list her as marrying John S. Rhea although no date is recorded. Margaret appears to have died prior to 1808, when her Father had his will drafted. The married names of the other daughters appear in the will as well as the names of two grandsons; "Thomas Turk McCollough and Thomas Turk Rhea". Both grandsons appear to have lost their mothers before that date. Documents in the possession of the Rhea family list John Rhea as marrying a daughter of Thomas Turk without naming her. Thomas' son from his first marriage, Thomas Turk Jr. also married a Rhea; Ann in 1777. Bob Allen reports that John was found living in Bath County, Virginia in 1814. This author does not possess a copy of this record and cannot comment further. 4) Esther Turk About 1767 - About 1845 Esther adds further mystery to her grandmother's maiden name. Several researchers suggest that Esther; the wife of Matthew Glaves Sr. was a Mitchell. This author is not aware of these researchers offering any proof to substantiate this claim. While still a child, Esther is mentioned in the will of a man named John Mitchell. Mitchell wrote his will on September 23, 1780 and lists "Esther Turk" among his heirs. Esther is positively identified when later in the will the following appears; "Thomas Turk, father of Esther, is to control her legacy until she is of age". Esther's mother, Mary Gleaves Turk is also listed as one of the witnesses. The relationship of the Thomas Turk family to John Mitchell, if any, remains a mystery. Augusta County, Virginia Will Book #6 Esther married James Robertson Johnston (before 1766 - after 1806) on December 19, 1786 in Augusta County, Virginia. She would have been about 19 at the time. James was the son of Zachariah and Ann Robertson Johnston. Very little is known about James and Esther's lives after their marriage. Family records identify the names of 10 children born into this union. Augusta County Marriages There are a number of Virginia land grants issued in the name James Johnston beginning in 1789. Two of the patents are in Augusta County and given the location, very likely pertain to our James Johnston. On August 31, 1789 James patented "200 acres On both sides of Pine run and between Beverley's line and the South Mountain". This land would have been just outside the Beverley Manor Patent in the Crimora area near the Turk homestead. The second patent was dated July 28, 1797, was for "34 acres On the South side of the Middle River joining the lands of the said Johnston and the widow Henderson". The remaining six patents occur in other counties and may or may not pertain to our James Johnston. Virginia State Library This author has not found any data pertaining to James' Will or the resting-place of either James or Esther. . 5) Elizabeth "Betsy" Turk June 1778 - After 1808 There are conflicting reports as to Betsy's date of birth, with some listing it as June 1768. All agree that she married James Coger in July of 1797 in Augusta County, Virginia. This author believes the 1778 date of birth is more plausible since women tended to marry early. Court records indicate that Thomas Turk Sr. had to give his consent to the marriage, meaning Elizabeth was under 18 at the time. This would call into question the 1778 date of birth as well. The actual record lists her husband as "James Conger". James Johnston, husband of her sister Esther posted the marriage bond. Augusta County Marriages Little is known of James and Betsy's lives other than the names of four children. Betsy is reported to have died in Mercer County, Kentucky although no date is given. 6) James Turk May 13, 1780 - April 8, 1862 As is the case with most male children during this timeframe, there is more information about James, than about his sisters. James appears to have lived his whole life in the Augusta County area. His death is recorded as having occurred at Mossy Creek, Rockingham County, Virginia. Rockingham borders Augusta to the north and the county line is very close to the northern boundary of the Beverley Manor Grant. James married Elizabeth Armstrong on July 3, 1800 in Augusta County, Virginia. She was the daughter of William Armstrong. Augusta County Marriages "James Turk May 13 1780 - Elizabeth Armstrong August 5th 1782 .James and Elizabeth were Married July 3th 1800" The James Turk Bible Virginia land records include three land grants filed by James. All three are dated July 6, 1818 and totaled 70 acres. All parcels are described as "On the south side of the South River". These small parcels were most likely located between larger tracts claimed earlier by the family and others. Virginia State Library "Elizabeth J. Turk Wife of James Turk Departed this Life on Monday Morning of July 24th 1837 Aged 54 Years Eleven Months and Nineteen Days" The James Turk Bible More About Mary & Thomas' Family The story of the Mary Gleaves Turk Family continues later in this manuscript. Additional generations are chronicled in Chapter 7. Detailed maps of Kentucky and Missouri documenting areas settled by the descendants of Matthew Glaves Sr. appear in Chapter 12. 3 The Family of William Gleaves About 1748 - 1820 William was the second child and oldest son of Matthew and Esther Glaves. Records involving William list him at various times under four different spellings of his last name, although it is clear that the most predominant spelling was "GLEAVES". The extensive documentation makes it clear that these records all pertain to one person. William is thought to have been born in England, although there is no proof of this. In 1932, a Daughters of the American Revolution application by Estelle Howe Winkler (National # 262024) claimed William was born in Ireland. As proof, Ms. Winkler submitted a "Verbatim copy from a family bible now owned by Taylor Gleaves, Roanoke, VA". The application does not state the name of the original owner of the Bible. The copy lists William and Elizabeth and their children giving birthdates for all except William. This author does not know if this Bible exists today. Ms. Winkler's application contained a number of facts that we know today to be incorrect. There is also at least one researcher who lists William's middle name as "Benjamin". While this may be correct, this author knows of no historical document that confirms this assertion. No records pertaining to William's life have been uncovered prior to him becoming an adult. The earliest entry referencing William appears in the Augusta County, Virginia Court records. On August 20, 1770 "William GLAVES" purchased 164 acres on the South River of the Shenendoah from John Lewis of Albermarle, Virginia for the sum of 40 pounds. The document was filed with the court in March of 1771. Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia Augusta County Court Order Book #14 contains an entry dated March 22, 1771, where "William GLAVES, is appointed guardian ad litem for Esther GLAVES, orphan of Matthew GLAVES, deceased". While the subsequent 1772 lawsuit, Turk vs. Raferty establishes that William was also named guardian for all his younger siblings, no record has been found documenting the event. Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia The last documented record of William in Augusta County appears to be the first instance where the extra "E" appears in the family surname. On January 24, 1775, "William GLEAVE", apprenticed his youngest brother, "Matthew GLAVE", to a wheelwright named John Finley. Both William and Matthew's signatures appear on the document and are remarkably similar. William had already left Augusta County by 1775, so his signature may be a forgery. It is not clear if either brother could read or write at this time. While there is no record of the document being filed with the court on that date, it was entered into the record as part of the lawsuit GLAVES vs. Finley in March of 1794. This lawsuit is explained in detail in Chapter 6, which details the life of Matthew Glaves. Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia Elizabeth Turk 1753 - 1840 William married Elizabeth Turk in Augusta County, Virginia on May 3, 1770. He would have been approximately 22 years old and Elizabeth about 17. There does not appear to be any public record documenting this event, although it is recorded in the James Turk Bible. Elizabeth, born in 1753, was the daughter of Thomas Turk Sr. and his first wife, Margaret. In 1758, her father indentured her to his brother, James. Although the details of the agreement are not known, a subsequent lawsuit established Elizabeth's age at the time of the indenture as 5 years and 2 months. Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia Four years before William and Elizabeth's marriage, William's older sister Mary, became Thomas Turk Sr.'s second wife. This made Thomas Turk both William's brother-in-law and his father-in-law. Likewise, Elizabeth's stepmother became her sister-in-law as well. A more detailed account of the Turk family is contained in the previous chapter. Elizabeth appears in one additional Augusta County Court entry when her Father's will is probated in August of 1808. She is listed as "Betty GLAVE". Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia Southward to the Cripple Creek Valley Sometime in the early 1770s William and Elizabeth left Augusta County for the area 150 miles further down the Shenendoah Valley, known today as Wythe County, Virginia (pronounced With). There is no record of William selling the land he acquired previously in Augusta County. Wythe County was not created until 1790, so the earliest entries appear in a variety of counties as they were subdivided. The area settled by William was located in Botetourt County until 1773, Fincastle until 1780, and Montgomery until 1790. Settlers began arriving in the early 1770s and many of them were Scotch-Irish and German immigrants, who like William, were looking for free land. The first documented record of William in the Wythe area occurs in 1772 when "William GLEEVES" is listed in a member of Captain Herbert's company of the Botetourt County Militia. The list is not dated. Captain Herbert's list for the previous year does not include William. Early Adventurers on the Western Waters This would mean that William and Elizabeth moved south shortly after the Turk vs. Raferty lawsuit was heard in March of that year. If this date is correct, the only children of William and Elizabeth born in Augusta County, Virginia would be their oldest son, Thomas born March 18, 1771 and possibly Matthew, born November 9, 1772. It appears that William's middle brother, Michael came with him, or shortly thereafter, as he appears on militia rolls by 1774. The militia organization was very important to the community and William was heavily involved. "It was from this group that men were selected to serve as scouts, Indian spies, fort and frontier protectors and from this group that taxes were levied, road workers selected and overseers were appointed. Educated men of the community were officers and leaders." Early Adventurers on the Western Waters William settled on land adjoining a watercourse known as Cripple Creek. A Montgomery County land entry some years later reads; "William GLAVIS, assignee of Roger Oats, 200 acres on Mill Creek, branch of Cripple Creek, settled 1772". The entry is not clear as to who settled the land in 1772, but it would be consistent with William's arrival to the Cripple Creek Valley. This entry appears to legally transfer title to William for lands he had settled in 1772. Early Adventurers on the Western Waters The minutes of the April 4, 1776 meeting of the "Fincastle County Committee of Safety" appointed three men to make a list of the inhabitants for militia rolls. They were "to go as low on Cripple Creek as William GLEEVES'S and return the lists to the County Lieutenant Certify'd". Montgomery County, Virginia; The First 100 Years "William GLAVES" is listed as a member of the first Grand Jury ever empanelled in Montgomery County, during the Court's May term, in 1779. There is no record of who was the defendant or the charge they considered. Hardesty's Historical and Geographical Encyclopedia William & The War of Independence During the Revolutionary War each county was required to keep a list of those individuals who took the Oath of Allegiance to the Commonwealth of Virginia. Between September 30, and December 5, 1777, James McCorkle recorded names from several militia companies for this purpose. The Preamble reads as follows: "We whose names are hereunto subscribed do swear or affirm that we renounce and refuse all allegiance to George third King of Great Britain, his heirs successors and that, I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to the Commonwealth of Virginia as a free and independent State and that I will not at any time do or Cause to be done any matter or thing that will be make known to some one Justice of the Peace for the said State all treasons or traiterous Conspiracies which I now or hereafter shall known to be formed against this or any of the United States of America." Appearing on the list of nearly 90 names is; "William GLAVES" with the notation "of Thompson's Company". Militia of Montgomery County, Virginia; 1777-1790 As referenced above, the earliest report of William's militia service appears in 1772, in Captain Herbert's Company, in what was then Botetourt County. He showed up on lists of thithables throughout the 1770s. In 1779, he was recommended for the rank of second lieutenant in Captain Francis' Company and on November 7, 1781, an entry in the Montgomery County Court records reads: "Ordered that William GLAVES be recommended to his Excellency the Governor as a proper person to serve as first lieutenant...in Captain Newell's Company". Seventeen years later, on March 13, 1798, Wythe County Court records show "William GLEAVES qualified as Captain, 35th Regiment, 17th Brigade of the Militia of Virginia". Annals of Southwest Virginia While all three brothers served in county militia units during the Revolutionary War (1775-1783), William Gleaves is the only one of the three brothers who appears to have served in the regular army (Continental Line) during that period. The Daughters of the American Revolution recognize William for his service as a private in Captain Thomas Hamilton's Company, 1st Virginia Regulars. Payroll records show his service was from December 1, 1779 to July 31, 1780. It is not clear why an officer in the militia would choose to enlist as a private in the regular army, as the record suggests. Some have suggested that this could have been another William Gleaves, although no evidence found so far corroborates this theory. War Department Payroll #1996107 & #1856474 William may not have spent much time with his unit, if at all. In December 1779, General George Washington dispatched 1,400 Continentals including the 1st Virginia Regiment, to aide in the defense of Charleston, South Carolina, against the impending British siege. The city fell on May 12, 1780 and the continental troops, including the 1st Virginia Regiment, surrendered in what was the most significant victory in the British Southern Campaign. There is no evidence, yet uncovered, that would suggest that William ever went to Charleston. If William was present at Charleston, he somehow avoided capture and made his way back to Virginia. We know that by July, he was back in Montgomery County, Virginia. A letter from a Colonel Preston to Captain Isaac Taylor, dated July 13, 1780, directed Taylor to lead an expedition to disarm the Tories (British Loyalists) at several locations along the New River in Montgomery County. He was "to have the assistance of William GLAVES, Lieutenant, and John Ward, Coronet. They were to immediately engage 30 men each, to find a good horse fit for service and proceed up the New River and to disarm all the Tories that resided in the four companies of militia there". Early Adventurers on the Western Waters Some family genealogists place William and his brother Michael at the Battle of King's Mountain, October 7, 1780. This author is reasonably sure that Michael was not present since he participated in the Battle of Shallow Ford one-week later. This author has not found evidence to confirm William's participation in this battle either. The Battle of Guilford Courthouse William Gleaves is however documented in several sources, as participating at the Battle of Guilford Courthouse, North Carolina, on March 15, 1781. A number of Virginia militia units, including companies from Montgomery County participated in the battle. They were joined by units from North Carolina and some regular soldiers from the Continental Line. The force some 4,000 men strong, was under the Command of General Nathaniel Greene. The British Army, under the command of Lord Charles Cornwallis was inferior in number (about 2,000 men) but vastly superior in training and experience. The battle was a tactical victory for the British, but the losses were too heavy and proved to be a turning point in the Southern Campaign. The American Revolution was similar in many ways to the Viet Nam War. The British were superior in manpower in their regular army, better equipped and better trained. The Americans on the other hand, had the advantage of the home field and the resources of the civilian population. The British had some success in enlisting the support of Tory Loyalists, but the vast majority of the citizens backed the Continental Army and the Militia units that supported them. It became a war of attrition and despite their tactical victories, the British could not crush the resistance to the Crown or the resolve of the people. In the end the English forces were just worn down. A Militia roll of Captain James Newell's Company dated April 5, 1781 lists "William GLEAVES". This is probably his unit that participated in the battle. North Carolina Biographical Sketches of Soldiers and Patriots in the Battle of Guilford Courthouse On May 8, 1782 "William GLEAVES" was among a group of men who appeared in Montgomery County Court and "produced sufficient proof to this Court that they ought to be paid 10 pounds for provisions furnished themselves when on Duty in North Carolina to join General Green". Annals of Southwest Virginia 1769-1800 There is no record of William or his brother Michael ever applying for a pension based on their service in the Revolutionary War, although both brothers are mentioned in several applications by others. Ewing, John. S. 31015 "3 April 1833. Logan Co., Ky. John Ewing of said county, aged 72, declares he was born in Prince Edward Co., Va., in June 1761. The foregoing is extracted from his father's family record. When he was ten years of age his father re-moved to Montgomery Co., Va., to that part which is now Wythe County. Here he continued until he entered service in 1778. He volunteered in a company of militia under Capt. Henry Francis and Lt. William GLAVES. They rendezvoused at the lead mines in said county and marched to the head waters of Yadkin River on the northern boundary of North Carolina. Ccl. Crocket and Gen. William Campbell were in command. They dispersed the Tories who had collected in the neighborhood. A captain of the Tory party was taken and hanged under one Coxe's gate, for the Tories had assembled in Coxe's settlement, as it was called. After they did the work assigned them they returned home. He served thirty days In 1780 he entered service in a company of militia (volunteers) commanded by Capt. James Newel, Lt. William GLAVES and Ens. John Whitlock (who did not go with them). They rendezvoused at a place on the south' side of New River called Harberd's Ferry, at the mouth of Poplar Camp Creek. Here they were placed under Colonels Preston, Crockett and Cloyd. They marched across the mountains into Guilford Co., N.C., where they were joined by Gen. William Campbell who had about eighty men under his command. They marched to the Court House of Guilford County. They were ordered from Guilford Court House to the neighborhood of Gen. Greene's army but did not join his army, which was then on the waters of Haw River. They had previous to this dispersed a parcel of Tories not far from Guilford Court House. Gen. Pickens from Georgia joined them about this time. They contemplated capturing Ccl. Tarleton but a Tory deserted from our army and gave information of the contemplation and Tarleton left his camp in the night and crossed Haw River at the High Rock Ford. They pursued him until they met Col. Lee who informed them that they must retreat for they were in the immediate neighborhood of the main British army under Lord Cornwallis. They accordingly crossed Haw River and encamped in the vicinity of Gen. Greene's army. The morning after they reached the camp Gen. Greene sent his aide to them and advised them to send their horses home as it was probable they would soon come to a general engagement with the British. They complied with his directions and were ordered to Whitsell's Mills on the Reedy Fork of Haw River. Here they formed the line of battle and met the army of Lord Cornwallis. They formed near the old mills and fired two rounds and were then ordered to retreat as they were by this time almost surrounded by the overwhelming army of Cornwallis. On the retreat an old Irish man named Buckhannon took shelter in the old mill and fired upon and killed an Englishman as he came down the hill on the opposite side of the river. They were defeated and dispersed. They had orders from their officers in the event of a defeat to rendezvous at Guilford Court House. They there rallied and were ordered homeward. He was out thirty or forty days." Virginia Revolutionary Pension Applications, Vol. 35 Copenhaver, Thomas. R. 2311 "6 May 1834. Lincoln Co., Mo. Thomas (X) Copenhaver of said county, aged 71, declares he entered service in Aug. 1780 under Capt. William GLAVES for two months. He resided in Montgomery Co., Va., and was a volunteer. They rendezvoused at the Lead Mines in Montgomery County and marched into North Carolina to Hoozier Town where he was taken sick and left behind. They were to keep in subjugation the Tories who had nearly overrun North Carolina. The company was discharged in North Carolina and many of the men came back by way of Hoozier Town and he returned with them." Virginia Revolutionary Pension Applications, Vol. 23 The Family Grows and Prospers The 1780s were a busy time for William and Elizabeth. During this period many of their children were born and William acquired a number of tracts of land. His elevation to an officer's rank in the militia leads us to believe that he was becoming a respected leader in the community. Bob Carver's research finds that William became a Justice of the Peace in Wythe County sometime after 1790. This author does not have that documentation and cannot establish an exact date. In 1781, Montgomery County records show that "William GLEAVES" was appointed to be the Overseer for the road "from Lapsely's shop to Michael Lees'". Early Adventurers on the Western Waters On April 2, 1782 William filed three Public Service Claims in Montgomery County Court. "William GLEVES came into Court and made satisfactory proof that he furnished Captain Campbell's Company of light horse Militia of Montgomery County with sixteen diets, sixteen sheves of Oats, 200 pounds of Beef, and the Washington Militia sixteen Diets, corn and hay for Eight horses one night, also Twenty-four Diets for a Company of patrollers under Sergt. Brumit, the whole amount 5 pounds, 2 Shillings". Early Adventurers on the Western Waters, Commissioner's Book Captain Isaac Campbell's Company was sent to North Carolina and participated in the Battle of Shallow Ford, October 4, 1780. One, of two lieutenants listed as participating in that battle was William's brother, "Michael GLEAVES". The details of the battle appear in the chapter on Michael. www.cbiinternet.com/shallowford/soldiers On September 11, 1782, an entry in Montgomery County, Virginia Court Records grants "William GLAVES" a Commissioner's Certificate for an additional 300 acres of land on Mill Creek, branch of Cripple Creek. The entry just above it granted a certificate to "Michael GLAVES for 200 acres on branch of Cripple Creek, adjoining William GLAVES' line". Early Adventurers on the Western Waters The Montgomery County personal property tax records from 1782 list "William GLAVES" and his brother Michael. To this day, Virginia collects a personal property tax on cars, boats etc. In the 1700s the tax was on slaves, horses and cattle. The 1782 rolls show William owning 2 slaves, 20 horses and 33 head of cattle. Montgomery County, Virginia Tax Records Kentucky? One of the more interesting land acquisitions by William did not occur in Montgomery County, Virginia. On March 13, 1783, a deed was recorded in Fayette County, Virginia where William acquires 562 acres. Under the column where the watercourse the property is located, is entered the word "none". At that time, Fayette County was part of the Kentucky District of Virginia. The three counties in the District became the state of Kentucky in 1792. Virginia had opened the area to settlers in 1779 with the passage of "The Land Law" which allowed individuals to claim free land. Old Kentucky Entries and Deeds There is no record of William ever traveling to Fayette County, which was hundreds of miles from his home. Just over a month after the deed was filed, William is recorded in Montgomery County. On April 23rd and again on June 21st in 1783 "Lieutenant William GLAVES" is listed as one of the militia officers present at court martials conducted in the County. After the Revolutionary War, the Federal Government and several states, including Virginia, awarded bounty lands grants to citizens and soldiers for services rendered. Most bounty grants went to soldiers in the Continental Line. Virginia gave its grants for lands in Kentucky. The person holding the certificate located unclaimed land and redeemed his grant for the title to the property. Over 30,000 such grants were issued. While these grants are well documented, there is no record of William receiving one. Many who obtained these rights, sold them to others. This could possibly be the case, although not likely, since the name of the person redeeming the certificate for land was recorded. A more likely scenario is that someone redeemed their grant and returned to Virginia, selling the property to William as a normal land sale. During this time, Fayette County included most of Northern Kentucky, including lands that would become Pendleton County, where William's youngest brother, Matthew Jr. settled two years later. When Matthew died in 1800, his will stated that his 500 acres of land on the Licking River was to be divided between his three sons. Years later when the estate was settled, each son received 187 acres of land. This author believes it to be only coincidence that William owned a tract of 562 acres and his brother one of 561 acres. Matthew appears to have purchased his homestead from a man named Moody. If William sold or gave the land to his brother, no record of this transaction has yet been found. Pendleton County Order Book The Post War Years By the mid 1780s, William was continuing to acquire more land. Between 1785 and 1810, William obtained tracts through Commissioner's Certificates, Land Grants or Bounty Warrants associated with his service during the Revolutionary War. He acquired no less than ten additional tracts of land totaling 2,035 acres. All the tracts are listed as being "on the waters of Cripple Creek". All the deeds are in the name of "William GLEAVES". These deeds and those of some of his descendants may be viewed on the Virginia State Library Internet site: http://image.vtls.com/ The Library of Virginia Land Records William Gleaves Sr.'s signature as it appeared on a document giving his consent for his daughter Esther to marry Asa Finley, dated August 18, 1806, Wythe County, Virginia. It is very different than the one that appears on his brother Matthew's apprenticeship in 1775. William's son, William Jr. also signed the document as a witness. Gleaves Knob William and Elizabeth helped settle the Cripple Creek Valley. Several court entries refer to the "Gleaves Branch" of Cripple Creek. Although that name does not exist today, there is a geographic feature that still bears William's name. Just North of the original family homestead is a summit rising 2,827 feet above sea level that bears the name "Gleaves Knob". This hill appears on the USGS map titled "Cripple Creek". William's Will William and Elizabeth Gleaves had eleven children born between 1771 and 1792. Three of their older sons moved to Davidson County, Tennessee around 1800, near land settled by William's brother Michael. Some daughters married and moved westward as well. Those living at the time of William's death were all mentioned in his will. The details of his will are listed in the biography that follows. Sketches of the lives of the children are included later in this chapter. When he died in 1820, William was a very prosperous man. Family records place his age at the time of his death as 72. An inventory of his estate included notes held on the Bank of Washington in Lebanon Kentucky. Sons, Absalom and James T. Gleaves certified the Inventory. Elizabeth lived another 20 years, passing away in 1840. Her will was probated on August 14, 1840. William and Elizabeth are buried in the family cemetery at Cripple Creek on land still owned by their descendants. William's grave has been marked and recorded by the Daughters of the American Revolution. A marker initially presumed to be the tombstone of his brother Michael is also located there. This appears rather to be a memorial honoring Michael, since he died in Davidson County, Tennessee in 1811. Revolutionary War Soldiers Buried in Wythe County, Virginia Gleaves, Old Wythe County Family The following biography, by Mary Hegley, was printed in a local Wythe County, Virginia newspaper in 1985. This author's copy does not note the name of the paper. The article was included in her book entitled: "Glimpses of Wythe County". Although much of the information in repetitive to subjects already covered or profiles of William and Elizabeth's children that appear later in this chapter, it is included here to document as completely as possible the lives of William and Elizabeth (Turk) Gleaves. "The Gleaves family of Cripple Creek were descended from the Gleaves of Cambridgeshie, England. William Gleaves, the first of the name to come to this part of Virginia, migrated to Pennsylvania and then down the valley of Virginia where he bought lands in 1770 as recorded in Augusta County records. In 1771 he was appointed guardian ad litem for Ester Gleaves (spelled Glaves in the records), an orphan of Matthew Gleaves deceased. At this time he was probably still living on the South River of the Shenandoah. In 1772 he was listed as a tithable (taxable) in William Herbert's Company of militia and this date probably represents the approximate date of his arrival in what is now Wythe County. In 1779, he served on a jury of Montgomery County, and went on the bond of Samuel Doak, the tax collector. In the same year he was recommended to the Governor of Virginia as a second lieutenant in Captain Francis' Company of Militia. In 1781 he was recommended as a first lieutenant in Captain James Newell's Company with William Dean as second lieutenant and Robert Sayers as ensign (an officer rank in the militia). The following year he took the oath as lieutenant. In April of 1782 he reported to the court that he had furnished Captain Campbell's Company of light horse militia with 16 diets (meals), corn and hay for eight horses for one night, and 24 diets for a company of patrollers under Sergeant Brummit. For provisions for himself when he was on duty in North Carolina he was paid ten shillings in addition to five pounds for the diets, 200 pounds of beef, and 16 sheaves of oats. For several months in 1779 and 1780 he served in the First Virginia Regiment (the regular army) and is always recognized as a Revolutionary War soldier. Although there does not appear to be any documentation, he is said to have been at the Battle of Kings Mountain. In 1797 he was a captain in the Wythe County militia. William Gleaves was born about 1748 and married Elizabeth Turk. They raised their family on the homestead on Cripple Creek east of the present town on land located on the south side of the creek and the present Route 619. Gleaves owned several tracts of land and the knob in view of his home was named Gleaves Knob in his honor. He owned about 1900 acres of land in the same vicinity. On March 20, 1820 his will was signed and a few months later on June 13th, was probated by the court. He left the house and all the Negroes to his wife for her lifetime. His daughter Nancy was to have certain Negroes and stock. Son Thomas was to have a Negro boy, and his daughter Polly Porter was to have $100 and daughter -in-law Margaret, the wife of William Gleaves Jr. who was already deceased, was to $100 for the use of the children, Thomas H., Polly and Eliza Gleaves. The daughter Elizabeth Ramsey, was to have $33.33, and son Absolum and his daughters Margaret Turk, Ester Finley and Salley Allen were each to have a Negro girl. Following the death of his wife Elizabeth, the Negroes were to go to son James T. Gleaves, who was also to have all the lands where the elder Gleaves lived, with the land adjoining. In return for the land James T. was to pay his sisters each the sum of 25 pounds, the currency of the day. He was also to support his mother and sister Nancy during her single life. The daughter Nancy never married and left her will probated in 1855. She left Negroes to sons of her brother James T. (Samuel C., George Wythe, James T. Jr., and Robert). James T. Gleaves married Malvina Crockett in 1822. Margaret married Thomas Turk, probably some relative. Sally married Nathan Allen, and William Jr. Married Margaret or Peggy Finley. Absolum married Cathy Holsey and Polly was the wife of Andrew Porter, son of the pioneer Robert Porter, Sr. Elizabeth Gleaves, the widow of William Sr., left a will that was probated in 1840. She disposed of the Negroes to her daughters and left Nancy a bureau and her daughter-in-law Malvina a china press. Two pieces of gold were given to Polly Porter and Nancy Gleaves, and her wearing apparel (seldom mentioned in wills) was not to be sold. Samuel C. Gleaves, grandson of the first William was a physician and served as medical director for General Floyd during the war. His brothers George Wythe, Andrew Jackson and Robert were to divide the homeplace, but Andrew died young and his share passed to Robert. In 1874 there was an inclusive survey made for Robert and the homeplace included at that time 1,670 acres in fourteen separate tracts. Robert's descendants own a large portion of the original estate. The family cemetery is located on the premises." The story of William and Elizabeth is similar to many families during the Colonial Period. They endured hardships, opened a new frontier, and helped give birth to a Nation. We are fortunate that their lives were so well documented. The Children of William and Elizabeth Gleaves William and Elizabeth had 11 children over a 21-year period. Many continued in the frontier spirit of their parents joining the western movement. The map that follows chronicles the known migrations of the William Gleaves Sr. family. The bible belonging to their son-in-law, Nathan Allen, provides the most complete documentation of the dates of birth of their children. The children are listed below in chronological order. The map above shows the migration of the William Gleaves Family. Four sons and three daughters moved from Wythe County, Virginia beginning in 1797. 1) Thomas Gleaves March 18, 1771 - 1849 Thomas is the oldest child of William and Elizabeth and the only one definitely born in Augusta County, Virginia. His parents moved to the present day Wythe County area when he was less than two years old. Sometime prior to 1797, Thomas moved to Davidson County, Tennessee near present day Nashville, Tennessee. His uncle, Michael Glaves had settled there in the late 1780s and had acquired significant property in the region. Michael is detailed in the next chapter. Several Wythe County historical sources list a number of families that moved to Davidson County in this same timeframe. Two of Thomas' brothers also moved to the Nashville area, although it appears that Thomas moved to Tennessee before they did. The first record of "Thomas GLEAVES" in Tennessee is his marriage to "Sally Smith" in March of 1797, although researchers differ on the exact date. The Marriage Bond was issued 13 March 1797 in Davidson County, Tennessee. Early Middle Tennessee Marriages Some family researchers have identified Thomas as "Thomas Harvey Gleaves". Thomas' younger brother, William Jr. had a son named Thomas Harvey Gleaves, although his adult life was spent in Missouri. This author has not found any documents that confirm this middle name. "Thomas GLEAVES" first appears in court records in April 1805, when he is mentioned in his Brother Matthew's Will. Matthew's Will is included in its entirety later in this chapter. The court appointed Thomas as Administrator of the estate and on May 30th of that same year, he filed an inventory of Matthew's possessions, which included his bible. On January 9, 1813 he reported to the Court that Matthew's land in Kentucky had been sold for $690 of which $615.45 was due the estate. Davidson County Will Books From about 1810 until 1831 it becomes more difficult to positively document Thomas, since his Uncle Michael Glaves had a son by the same name, born in 1789. Although both were in the same area, the other Thomas appears to have lived in Wilson County adjacent to Davidson. In some instances, Thomas is listed as "Thomas Gleaves, Sr." and his cousin as "Thomas Jr.". During this period these designations for unrelated individuals with the same name were fairly common. In most instances it referred to their age, but in some cases, the "Sr." title was awarded based on an individuals status in the community. The other Thomas died in 1831 and is profiled in the next chapter. "Thomas and Absalom GLAVES" (his brother) are listed among the buyers at the estate sale of William Stuart recorded February 19, 1810. "Thomas GLAVES" appears again on November 8, 1813 at the sale of the estate of George W. Payne. This second entry may pertain to the other Thomas although not likely due to his young age. A third entry for "Thomas GLEAVES", January 23, 1816 regarding the estate of Benjamin Seabourne is also inconclusive. Davidson County Will Books On November 12, 1821 "Thomas GLEAVES" appeared in Court selling 48+ acres to Benjamin Castleman for the sum of $112.50. This author is quite confident that this is the subject of this sketch, since Thomas' son "William B. GLEAVES" sold Benjamin Castleman an additional 37+ acres ten years later on May 10, 1831. Davidson County Deed Book Q page 406 Several entries in 1827 list a "Thomas GLEAVES" although limited detail makes it impossible to identify the Thomas referred to. A court entry dated November 28, 1828 deals with what appears to the County's support for a widow and her family. "Absalom GLEAVES, Thomas GLEAVES and James R. GLEAVES, (Thomas' Son) Commissioners to set apart one years provisions for Drusilla Johnson and her family". Davidson County Will Book Thomas died sometime in 1848/1849 at approximately 88 years of age and his will was recorded on March 22, 1850. The will was dated December 5, 1846 and delivered to the Davidson County Court during its April Term in 1849. The will is quite lengthy and mentions all of his children. Wife Sally is not mentioned and had probably died before the will was written. Thomas appears to have been a fairly wealthy man since he bequeathed several large tracts of land to his sons. At least 15 slaves are mentioned by name in his will. While most of his property was given to specific children, one provision directed a sharing by his descendants. "Item #11: I give to all my children the use in common of my still and tubs and not to be sold" Some of his sons received more than a proportionate share of his holdings and Thomas appears to have felt compelled to explain this in his will. "Item 17: I have given to Felix R. and Benjamin F. Gleaves more than the rest of my children in consideration of their trouble and kindship in running and taking care of me in my old age." Davidson County, Tennessee Court Records Sarah "Sallie" Smith (About 1776 - Before 1846) Davidson County marriage records identify Sallie as marrying a "Thomas GLEAVES" in March of 1797. The Matthew Gleaves Will (included in the next section) positively identifies her as the wife of his brother Thomas, son of William Gleaves. There is no known documentation identifying Sallie Smith's family, although some family records give her birthdate as 1776, location unknown. Matthew's will also identifies two other individuals; his cousin, Matthew Gleaves Jr. (son of Michael Glaves) and a woman named Betsy Smith. If any relationship to Betsy exists, it is not documented in the will. This author believes there is a high probability that Betsy is a younger sister of Sallie's. Five years later Cousin Matthew and Betsy Smith married in Davidson County, August 19, 1809. Matthew's will does not identify any land he owned in Davidson County so it is possible that he was living with Thomas and Sallie at the time of his death. According to researcher Robert Milnor Gleaves, there is a letter from James Turk Gleaves, brother of Thomas Gleaves, which states that Sally "Smith" was the daughter of Felix Robertson. This either means that Thomas was married twice or that Sally Robertson was first married to a Mr. Smith before she married Thomas Gleaves. This author has not seen the letter and can offer no further information on this subject. Bob Gleaves tends to discount this information as being incorrect. The exact date of Sallie's death is not known. Sallie is not mentioned in Thomas Gleaves' will, so she is assumed to have died before it was written in 1846. The youngest child of Thomas and Sallie Gleaves was born in 1819. A will written on January 10, 1822 by a man named Ezekial Smith offers some interesting possibilities to consider. The will, contested by a son from the family of his second wife, is somewhat confusing, although several facts are clear. Eziekiel willed land to his "sons" with each being mentioned by name"...on White's Creek...within the boundary of Stull's run off". The Will goes on to mention several women by their married names but does not identify which, if any, are daughters. One mentioned is "Elizabeth GLEAVES". ` Davidson County Will Book This author believes that Elizabeth Gleaves mentioned here is Betsy Gleaves, the wife of "Cousin" Matthew. Cousin Matthew's Father, Michael Gleaves left land on White's Creek to a son in his will and had dealings with several members of the Stull family. If Sallie Smith Gleaves and Betsy were sisters, Sallie is not mentioned in the Ezekial Smith will and may have died between 1819 and 1822. No proof, just a theory. 2) Matthew Gleaves November 9, 1772 - October 8, 1804 Matthew is the second child born to William and Elizabeth. The location of his birth is uncertain, since his parents moved from Augusta County to what was then Botetourt County, sometime in 1772. His father appears on militia rolls there in 1772 although no date is given for this record. Matthew made the migration to Davidson County, Tennessee around 1800, as did his brother Absolam. We know he did not arrive at the same time as Thomas (before 1797) since documents place him in Wythe County after that date. On June 4, 1798, a man named James Bebber wrote his will in Wythe County, Virginia. Two of the men signing the will as witnesses are "Matthew GLEAVES and Absolum GLEAVES". Early Adventurers on the Western Waters III Matthew's life ended shortly after the move to Tennessee at the age of 31, the cause of his death being unknown. His date of death is listed in family records as October 8, 1804. His will, dated November 27, 1803, was entered in Davidson County on April 3, 1805. It provides valuable insight into the family. An exact copy is included here. The Will of Matthew Gleaves "I Matthew Gleaves of the County of Davidson and the State of Tennessee in a Good State of health and memory do make this my Last will and Testament. Viz I leave to my brother Thomas all my Horses and Cattle and all the little debts that is due me in this Neighborhood and that Sixty Dollars that is in my Fathers hands I Allow it to be Divided Equally Betwixt my Brothers and Sisters that lives in Virginia Also I leave to my Sister in-Law Sally Gleaves wife of Thomas Gleaves my Negro Boy Green If he is not Redeemed she may keep him During her life and then to remain to her Children Afterwards only I Allow Brother Absolom Eighty five Dollars out of the price in Good Property Also I allow that Land in Kentucky to be Sold and the Price to be Divided Equally Betwixt my Father and Mother Sisters and Brothers I Allow my Cousin Matthew Gleaves twenty Dollars out of the Price of it Also I allow Betsy Smith Ten Dollars out of the Price of my Big Steer paid by Thomas Gleaves I do Renounce and Disdain all Other wills by me made" November the 27th 1803 Witness Matthew Gleaves Junr Signed: Matthew Gleaves The following appears to have been added by the Davidson County Court when the will was proven to be authentic. "The Execution of which will as Above Recited was in Court held for the County of Davidson January Sessions 1805 Proven to be the Act and Deed of the said Matthew Gleaves Senr by the Oath of Matthew Gleaves Junr a Subscribing Witness thereto, the said Matthew Gleaves Junr being a Legatee in said Will having first came unto Court and Acknowledged a Release of any Legacy or Benefit in said Will" Davidson County Will Book 3, page 4 The will confirms that the three brothers all settled in Tennessee as well as linking the Smith women to specific family members. His brother Thomas entered an inventory of Matthew's estate into court records. Among the items listed is one that may give a clue to Matthew's occupation; "a set of hatters tools". Other items mentioned included; "fourteen head of cattle, two horses, one bed and furniture, A certificate for two months service at Natchez, (Mississippi) as a private in Captain F. Robertson's Company (no date given), a silver watch, Knife and Tomhock, one bible and one razor". Neither Matthew's will nor the inventory mentions any land owned in Tennessee. It is possible that had not acquired any yet and was living at the time with his brother Thomas. Davidson County Minute Book Several researchers believe Matthew married a woman named Elizabeth Pate, giving the date of the marriage as the same day he wrote his will. There is no mention of a wife or children in his will and this author tends to discount these reports. When Matthew's father, William wrote his will, he listed all living children and the widow of son William Jr. If Matthew had been married, his widow is not mentioned in William's will. 3) Mary "Polly" Gleaves December 13, 1774 - About 1832 The third child of William and Elizabeth, Polly, married Andrew Porter Sr. (1773-1853) in Wythe County sometime around 1790. No record of the marriage has been found. The names of the nine children from this marriage are known, although not all of their dates of birth. Andrew may have been the only child of Robert Porter (1740-1781) and his wife Margaret Ewing (about 1735-after 1803) since no other children have been identified. They settled in the Cripple Creek area about 1775. They had lived in the general vicinity even earlier, since Andrew is reported to have been born in Fincastle County, April 4, 1773. At that time, Cripple Creek was a part of Fincastle County. Robert Porter has been documented for his service to the new Country during the Revolutionary War and is recognized for his participation by the Daughters of the American Revolution. At the time of his Father's death, Andrew was less than 10 years old. Some of the family property passed to him shortly thereafter, but because of his age, it was controlled by a guardian, William Ewing, a relative of Margaret's. In 1782 Andrew, as heir to Robert Porter, entered several Commissioner's Certificates (through William Ewing) for land that his father had settled. He was eventually granted a certificate for 400 acres on both sides of Cripple Creek. Early Adventurers on the Western Waters III Sometime before 1803, Andrew's mother Margaret, moved to Blount County, Tennessee. It is not clear if she had remarried. In 1803 she is listed as living in Blount County when she deeded to Andrew an additional 50 acres on the Thorn Branch of Cripple Creek. In 1811, Andrew again appears in Wythe County Court records in conjunction with his father's will. He filed a lawsuit against the heirs of William Ewing over the handling of a Bounty Warrant granted to his father for his war service. According to Andrew, William Ewing used the Warrant to enter a tract of 100 acres in his own name. The land changed hands several times and Andrew's lawsuit eventually became Porter vs. Gannaway. In 1817, Andrew's father-in-law, William GLEAVES testified in his behalf. Andrew eventually won his case and recovered 86 of the 100 acres in question. Wythe County Court Records Over the years of their marriage, Andrew and Polly's holdings grew beyond the land reported in this sketch. Polly is mentioned in her father's will written in March 1820. William Gleaves' Will states "To my daughter Polly Porter I bequeath the sum of one hundred dollars for hir use arising from the proceeds of the sale". Polly's brothers and sisters each received a specific slave as well, but for some reason, she was left out. William may have already provided for Andrew and Polly. Polly died before her mother but since Elizabeth Turk Gleaves wrote her will in 1830, she is mentioned in it as well. Andrew outlived Polly Gleaves by more than 20 years. Family records report Polly's death as occurring on November 11, 1832. It does not give a location although it is assumed to be Wythe County. There are no details as to how she died, but we know she would have been 57 at the time. Andrew remarried a woman named Mary and outlived her as well. The year following Polly's death, Andrew conveyed nearly 1,000 acres of land to his son Stephen Porter. He retained use of his house and other buildings on the land. Andrew had previously given land to his son Andrew Jr. that included the land from the Porter vs. Gannaway court case. Early Adventurers on the Western Waters III Andrew wrote his will on June 22, 1850 and died March 9, 1853. Andrew was buried in the Porter Family Cemetery on his farm. Although there is no record, it is assumed that Polly was buried there as well. 4) William Gleaves Jr. September 27, 1777 - Before 1820 William's life is not well documented. We know he was born on Cripple Creek, when it was still part of Montgomery County, the fourth child of William and Elizabeth. There are no known records of his formative years. The first legal record pertaining to William Jr. is his marriage to Margaret "Peggy" Finley, September 16, 1802 in Wythe County. Wythe County Marriages 1790-1850 Margaret "Peggy" Finley Margaret was born about 1780, although the location is not known. She was the daughter of William Finley Sr. and Mary Pettus. The family had also come from Augusta County, Virginia where Margaret's uncle, John Finley, was a wheelwright. John Finley had a young apprentice in 1775 named Matthew Glaves, William Gleaves' uncle. This apprenticeship is covered in detail in Chapter 6. Both of Margaret's parents had died before she married William. Margaret's father died in December 1801 or January 1802 and her mother sometime prior to that. Margaret appears in her father's will and received "a sorrel mare". Her sisters each received a mare as well. About this same time, several of Margaret's brothers were venturing westward, into Kentucky and claimed land in the Christian County area. Likewise, three of William's brother's were migrating through the Cumberland Gap into the Davidson County, Tennessee region. William and Margaret chose Kentucky and sometime after their marriage, joined Margaret's brothers, Dabney and Asa Finley in Christian County. Christian County, Kentucky Asa Finley would return to Wythe County and in 1806, marry William's younger sister, Esther. Esther was underage and her father had to give his written consent to the marriage. William Jr. also signed the document as a witness. This single document bears the signatures of both William Sr. and Jr. as well as Asa Finley. Asa and Esther returned to Christian County after the marriage and before 1810. It is possible that this is when William and Margaret made the journey to their new home. Wythe County Marriages The signature of William Gleaves Jr. when he witnessed his father's consent for his sister Esther to marry Asa Finley, August 18, 1806 There is a good possibility that William and Margaret did not leave Wythe County until sometime after Asa and Esther. In 1808 William's father conveyed 430 acres to him in Wythe County. He in Peggy in turn conveyed the land to Joseph Bell and Andrew Kincannon that same year. William and Margaret did not have to reside in the County to complete these transactions, although if they had already left, his father could have sold the land and sent the money to them in Kentucky. Wythe County Court Records The 1810 census finds William and Margaret living in Christian County, Kentucky. All three of their children had been born and William is listed as owning three slaves. Margaret and the children are not named in the census, only counted in age groups. Only the head of household was listed by name until the 1850 Census. 1810 Kentucky Census Records William died sometime in 1811. This author has not found any record of his Will. His wife Peggy and her brother, Asa Finley were named Administrators of his estate. A sale of William's estate was conducted and a list of items sold was entered into the Christian County Court records: A typed copy of the items sold and the names of the buyers is almost four pages long. It begins "The following articles of the said Estate was this day exposed to publick sale". The document ends with a statement by the administrators. "We Asa Finley and Peggy GLEAVES, administrators of the estate of William GLEAVES, deceased, do hereby certify that this list contains a true account of the proceeds of the sale of the above estate this 11th day of October 1811". Under Dower Rights, Peggy was entitled to a third of the proceeds of the estate sale. She had to bid on any items she wanted to keep for herself. Many items were reclaimed this way. Among the items purchased by Peggy were: 1 looking glass (50 cents), 2 beds and furniture ($112), 1 bee hive ($1), 1 cow and calf and bell ($9.50), 33 hogs ($27), 1 pewter dish ($5) and 1 crop of corn in the field ($5). Peggy's brothers purchased a number of items as well. Some of the more valuable items were appraised prior to the sale and included three slaves, "Judith ($330), Spencer ($350) and Will ($450)". There was no mention of any land owned by William in either the appraisal or the sale. Christian County, Kentucky Estate Records 1797-1816 Peggy appears on the County Tax Rolls at least until 1817. In that year she is listed as owning three slaves and two horses but owning no land. It is likely that she and her children were living with the family of one of her brothers. Christian County Tax Lists 1814-1817 Peggy and the children are mentioned in her father-in-law's will made in March of 1820. "To my daughter-in-law Margaret Gleaves formerly wife to William Gleaves dead. I deviseth the sum of one hundred dollars for the use of hir children (to-wit) Thomas H. Gleaves, Polly Gleaves and Eliza Gleaves". The Will of William Gleaves Sr. William Jr. would have been no more than 34 years of age at his death. It is presumed that he died in Christian County, Kentucky. Details regarding Margaret after 1820 are at best, sketchy. About 1818, her brothers, Dabney and Asa, left Christian County with their families, headed for Missouri. Details of their lives in Saline County, Missouri are presented later in this chapter relating to Asa's wife, Esther Gleaves. Two of William and Margaret's children show up in Lafayette County, Missouri as early as 1825. It is possible that Margaret and her children made the trip with her brothers. There are reports that Margaret married for a second time to a man named Holman sometime before 1837. This author has no other details on this subject. We do know that she eventually made the trip to Missouri. Margaret is reported to have died on January 2, 1859 in Lafayette County, Missouri. She would have been more than 80 years old at the time. 5) Elizabeth Gleaves October 2, 1779 - After 1820 Elizabeth was born on Cripple Creek, in what was at the time, Montgomery County, Virginia, the fifth of eleven children. Wythe County was not formed until 1790. Her date of birth is documented in family records. Nathan Allen Bible There is a marriage record in Wythe County where a "Betsey GLAVES" married George Eller Jr. on May 16, 1799. Elizabeth would have been 20 years old at the time, so this could be her. The nickname and the misspelling of the last name have caused family researchers to question this entry. The only person known to use the spelling of the family name without the "E" in Wythe County was Michael Glaves, Elizabeth's uncle. Every other occurrence in Wythe County where the name is recorded as Glaves appears to be a spelling error. Michael Glaves had left Wythe County for Tennessee by 1783. Wythe County Marriages 1790-1850 Little is known about George Eller Jr. since this appears to be the only time he shows up in Wythe County. Adding to the confusion, is the will of Elizabeth's father, William Gleaves Sr. Written in March of 1820, it lists all his living children as beneficiaries. Elizabeth appears in the document as "Elizabeth Ramsey". No mention is made of her husband's first name. The Will provides: "To my daughter Elizabeth Ramsey I bequeath the sum of thirty three dollars and thirty three cents", the lowest amount received by any of the children. William's personal property was to be sold and the money divided among seven of his nine living children. The two oldest daughters: Polly Porter and Elizabeth Ramsey were left out of this division. The Ramsey Connection There is no proof that Elizabeth indeed is the woman marrying George Eller Jr. in 1799 although it appears likely. This would mean that Elizabeth was married at least twice. Additionally, there is no document that positively identifies the Christian name of Elizabeth Gleaves-Ramsey's husband. This Author believes the most likely candidate is a pioneer named Josiah Ramsey. Josiah Ramsey first appears in present day Wythe County in 1762 when he claimed land on Reed Creek. There are entries in Augusta County as early as 1748 pertaining to a Josiah Ramsey, although there is no proof that these are the same person. Ramsey Mountain, near the present day town of Max Meadows, is named for him. In 1773 he recorded his mark for cattle and hogs as "a crop in the left ear". Over the next 30 years, Josiah appears in numerous entries serving on juries, appraising estates and as a Road Viewer. In 1774, "Josiah Ramsey of Reed Creek" served 43 days with Captain Walter Crockett. This was one of the Militia Companies that fought at the Battle of Point Pleasant. See Chapter 4 for more details of this engagement and the involvement of Michael Glaves. There is no record of a marriage for Josiah during this period although it is clear that he had a wife and children. Her name is not known but children born of this marriage are documented in his Will. A Wythe County Court entry from 1802 is the first time a wife of Josiah is identified. "Josiah and Elizabeth Ramsey" sold 206 acres to John Bishop and 64 acres to James McGavock. Again, in 1810, "Josiah and Elizabeth Ramsey" sold 440 acres to his son Joseph Ramsey "on the north and south of the Reed Creek". Wythe County Deed Books 3 & 4 Josiah Ramsey wrote his will May 21, 1805 and it was probated August 13, 1811. He mentions several grown sons and daughters and his wife, "Elizabeth Ramsey". Wythe County Will Book 2 We know that the Ramseys and Gleaves must have had some dealings together since a relative of Josiah Ramsey conveyed a slave to her brother's family in 1839. Records reveal that the slave was "Calvin Gleaves, age about 2 years". Early Adventurers on the Western Waters III There is no documentation that clearly identifies this Elizabeth Ramsey with the Gleaves family. If this were the same person, then it would provide several additional facts. First, Elizabeth's marriage to George Eller Jr. in 1799 was a very short one. Elizabeth would have married a second time by 1802. Since there are no known records of George after the wedding, he could have died before 1802. If this is the Elizabeth Ramsey mentioned in William Gleaves Sr.'s will, her second marriage would have lasted only about 10 years. She would have remained the "Widow Ramsey" until at least 1820. There is no known record of Elizabeth's death or any children born into her marriage(s). Future researchers may solve this riddle, but it cannot be answered here. 6) Absalom Gleaves September 3, 1781 - September 18, 1834 Absalom was born in the Cripple Creek Valley during the American Revolution, the sixth child of William and Elizabeth Gleaves. Like his brothers and sisters, there is no documentation of his formative years. His birth is recorded in family records in the Nathan Allen Bible. The first reference to him in any material way occurs when he is 17 years old and witnesses the Will of James Bebber on June 6, 1798. Early Adventurers on the Western Waters III Catherine Halsey About 1784 - July 5, 1866 Just short of his 22nd birthday, Absalom married Catherine Halsey on August 18, 1803. The marriage occurred in Wythe County, Virginia. Catherine was the daughter of James and Sarah (Heldrith) Halsey. The family name appears in records under numerous different spellings, although this appears to be the correct one. James Halsey first appears in local records in 1782 but may have come to the area earlier. James died sometime around 1785 and Sarah remarried in 1789. There is no information on James' Will, if one existed. Tennessee Migration Absalom's older brother, Thomas had moved westward and married in Davidson County, Tennessee by 1797. The lure of free or cheap land may have enticed Absalom and Catherine to seek these greener pastures as well. A number of families from Wythe County migrated through the Cumberland Gap, to Davidson County during this period. Sometime shortly after their wedding in 1803, they joined this migration. They most likely traveled with others, although no records have been found. Absalom's older brother, Matthew also came to Davidson County about the same time and may have been a member of their party. Brother Matthew Gleaves made his Will on November 27, 1803 and it was entered into Davidson County court records April 3, 1805. Absalom is mentioned but Catherine is not. The will, that appears earlier in this chapter, appears to make it clear that Absalom was in Tennessee when it was written. The will reads: "I allow Brother Absolom Eighty five Dollars out of his Price in Good Property". Davidson County Will Book 3, page 4 "Thomas (his brother) and Absalom GLAVES" are listed among the buyers at the estate sale of William Stuart recorded February 19, 1810. "Absolom GLEAVES" is listed among the buyers at the estate of Jesse Thomas on November 27, 1816. Davidson County Will Book Absalom's Military Exploits "Absalom GLEAVES" is listed as a member of Captain Creel's Militia Company in 1812. Also listed on the rolls are his cousin, "Michael GLEAVES" and a "Thomas GLEAVES" (unclear if this is his brother or cousin). All three are privates. Of note, another private listed; Andrew Jackson, the future president. Pioneers of Davidson County During the War of 1812, Absalom is listed as being a private in "Rangers, United States Volunteers". No record has been found dealing with this unit or any military engagements they were involved in. War of 1812 Muster Rolls, Ancestry.Com Absalom is mentioned in his father's will in 1820, although his name appears to be recorded incorrectly. This author has only a typed copy of the document prepared by an unknown researcher and has not reviewed a true copy of the will, if one exists. The entry reads; "To my son Abraham GLEAVES I bequeath my negroe girl Sharlotte with hir increase". His brother James T. who still lived in Wythe County received the bulk of the estate including all land. The Will of William Gleaves Absalom appears to have lived his life in Davidson County, although several entries bearing his name appear in nearby Wilson County, home to other family members. The first entry, dated April 14, 1815 reads; "Absolum GLEAVES of Davidson County to Jacob Woodrum 128 acres on Stoner Creek". The book Wilson County History lists Jacob Woodrum as one of the earliest settlers on Stoner's Creek. Also on this list is a "Thomas GLEAVES". Since no date is given, it is difficult to know for sure which Thomas Gleaves this entry refers to, although it is most likely Absalom's older brother. Wilson County, Tennessee Deed Book E, page 521 The second entry is a more serious matter. Quarterly Court minutes from Wilson County contain an entry from the June Term, 1828 (p. 475) which reads; "Absolum Gleaves found guilty of assault and battery. He submitted himself to the mercy of the Court". No other reference to this event has been found, so the details remain a mystery. History of Wilson County Absalom was active in his community and appears in a number of sources in varying capacities. Several are listed here. Reverend Gleaves? There is at least one report that Absalom may have received a calling to the ministry. Catherine Halsey's sister, Sarah, married a man named Jacob Harkreader. An article entitled The Harkreader Family of Middle Tennessee contains the following: "Jacob and Sarah named two of their children for Sarah's sister and her husband, Catherine Halsey who married Absolum Gleaves (Methodist preacher in Wilson Co., Tennessee)". Middle Tennessee Journal of Genealogy and History Vol XII There is also a record of two weddings performed by Absolom in 1825 and 1826. The individuals that were married do not appear to be related to him. Both marriages are documented in the John Hays Bible. The Hays family also lived in Davidson County. No church records have been found by this author to document this information. Tennessee Bible Records and Marriage Bonds On March 15, 1827 four members of the family are among a group of men signing a document establishing the dower rights of a widow named Penelope Overton. The Gleaves men are "Thomas GLEAVES (his brother), Absalom GLEAVES, Matthew GLEAVES (his cousin, son of Michael) and Thomas GLEAVES Jr." (his nephew). Davidson County Will Book A court entry dated November 28, 1828 deals with what appears to the County's support for a widow and her family. "Absalom GLEAVES, Thomas GLEAVES and James R. GLEAVES, (Thomas' Son) Commissioners to set apart one years provisions for Drusilla Johnson and her family". Davidson County Will Book The following month an estate sale entered into this same Will Book lists one of the buyers as "Sheriff Gleaves". This author has not researched this entry and cannot tell which family member held this office. It is mentioned here to aid those doing further research. If this reference refers to Absalom, it most likely would be cleared up by reviewing his obituary. There are at least two Acts of the Tennessee Legislature that pertain to Absalom Gleaves. Both appear to be narrow in scope, but give additional insight into the man. In 1827 Absalom is named in a private act establishing "The Stones River Improvement Lottery" (Chapter 159.1 Serial, # 32 Private). This appears to be an authorization to conduct a lottery to raise funds for the construction of some public facility, most likely a bridge. The river may be Stoner Creek mentioned earlier. A second entry in 1833, shortly before his death simply reads; "Davidson County-precinct election held at his house" (Chapter 94.1, Serial # 38). http://www.state.tn.us/sos/statelib/pubsvs/g-2.htm Absalom and Catherine had at least five children whose names are known to us. Several of these children are documented in a later chapter. This researcher has not reviewed Davidson County land records, so little can be reported here as to the family's land holdings. It is assumed that they owned farmland in the area. When Absalom died in Davidson County in 1834, at the age of 53, his obituary was carried in two Nashville papers; The National Banner & The Nashville Whig on September 24, 1834. Next to his name was the title "Esq." a designation usually associated with attorneys. This author does not have a copy of either obituary and can shed little light on this curious question. His Will was filed in Davidson County that same year. Obituaries from Early Tennessee Newspapers 1794-1851 Catherine outlived Absalom by more than 30 years. Little is known about her in these later years. Catherine appears in the Davidson County, Tennessee Census from 1840-60. In both 1850 & 60 she is living with her son James T. Gleaves. She would have been about 84 years old when she passed away in 1866. There is no mention of her will, although one may exist. Family researcher, Bob Carver offers the following information regarding the final resting-place of Absalom and Catherine in his recently published paper. "They are buried in their own family cemetery in Davidson County, on Central Pike, 1/2 mile from the Wilson County line. This land was originally owned by the family. In addition to Absalom and Catherine, there are two other markers found there: Mary C. Woolford, born November 10, 1807 and died December 4, 1873, and "Aunt" Nancy McCauley, born March 10, 1830, died December 4, 1905. "Aunt Nancy" is said to have been a former Gleaves family black servant." There is no explanation of any connection Mary Woolford had to the family. Gleaves Family of Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee 7) Margaret "Peggy" Gleaves January 1, 1784 - September 14, 1855 Margaret was born on the family homestead on Cripple Creek. She was the seventh of eleven children born to William and Elizabeth. There is little or no information about her formative years. Her birth and death dates are listed in family records, although there are conflicting dates reported from other sources. Nathan Allen Bible Margaret married Thomas Turk III (1782-1826) in Wythe County, Virginia on December 24, 1802. The name should be familiar to readers, as Thomas' grandfather was Thomas Turk Sr. Margaret and Thomas were first cousins. Margaret's mother Elizabeth and Thomas' father Thomas Jr. were both children of Thomas Turk Sr. and his first wife, Margaret. Adair County, Kentucky Sometime after the marriage, Thomas and Margaret moved to Kentucky. The 1810 Adair County Census shows them living in that County with their first four children, all under the age of 10. Only the heads of households were listed by name until 1850. Two additional males, ages 16-26 are also listed as living with them, although we do not know if they were related. The census also shows that Thomas and Peggy owned two slaves at the time. 1810 Adair County, Kentucky Census Records Like his father before him, Thomas answered his country's call to arms. The Daughters of the American Revolution recognize Thomas' father, Thomas Turk Jr., for his service in the American Revolution. Thomas III served as a Lieutenant in the U.S. Army during the War of 1812. As early as April 4, 1808, he appears in County records involved with the militia. On that date, he is named an Assistant in Captain Charles Moore's Company of Patrollers. ` Adair County, Kentucky Court Records 1802-1813 In May of 1809, he is mentioned again, when Captain Moore's Company is "Ordered to Patrol Negro Quarters and Other Places of the Resort of Negros at least 12 hours in each month for 12 Months". In November of that same year, Thomas was paid $6 for serving as an Assistant for 144 hours. Adair County, Kentucky Court Records 1802-1813 A short sketch contained in a history book provides some confirmation of these facts in Thomas' life. "Thomas was a first lieutenant in the American Army in the War of 1812. A native of Virginia and one of the first to the counties of the bluegrass region and later to the County of Adair, Kentucky, where he spent the rest of his life". Kentucky, A History of the State By July 6, 1812, there are references in court records to "Captain Turk" in the militia although there is no documentation of his being promoted to this rank. Adair County, Kentucky Court Records 1802-1813 Margaret is mentioned in her father's 1820 will, "To my daughter Margaret Turk I bequeath my negroe Girl Kissey". She also received a share of the proceeds from the sale of William's personal property. The Will of William Gleaves Sr. Thomas Turk is believed to have died on February 18, 1826 in Adair County, Kentucky. Margaret is reported to have lived another 30 years passing away on September 14, 1855 at the same location. An abstract of a bible owned by one of their sons, Hiram, contains conflicting dates for both his parents' birth and death dates. The most significant difference has Margaret living until September 1, 1865. Hiram K. Turk Bible 8) Esther Gleaves January 14, 1786 - About March 1, 1839 Esther was born in the Cripple Creek Valley, of present day Wythe County. She was the 8th of 11 children of William and Elizabeth Gleaves. As with her brothers and sisters, there is no information about her early years. Asa Finley About 1788 - 1853 Esther became the wife of Asa Finley on August 8, 1806. Asa was born in Montgomery County. He was the youngest of seven children of William Finley Sr. and Mary Pettus. A number of early records list his given name as "Esau" although "Asa" appears to be more prevalent especially in the later part of his life. The family had also come from Augusta County, Virginia, where Asa's uncle, John Finley was a wheelwright. As reported earlier, John Finley had a young apprentice in 1775, named Matthew Glaves, Esther Gleaves' uncle. This apprenticeship is covered in detail in Chapter 6. Both of Asa's parents had died before he married Esther. Asa's father died in December 1801 or January 1802 and his mother sometime prior to that. "Esau Finley" appears in her father's will and received a parcel of land from the family farm in Wythe County as well as one of the three family slaves. Early Adventurers on the Western Waters III Kentucky Pioneer About the time of his father's death, or shortly thereafter, he and his brother Dabney, ventured westward into Kentucky and claimed land in the Christian County area. His earliest survey was recorded on August 30, 1803 for 400 acres in an area known as Buck Grove. A second survey for 100 acres on the West Fork of the Red River was recorded on January 16, 1805. Finley Family Records Sometime after this second survey was recorded, Asa Finley returned to Wythe County and on August 18, 1806, married Esther. Asa's sister Margaret had married Esther's brother, William Gleaves, four years earlier in Wythe County. Esther was underage and her father had to give his written consent to the marriage. This document makes her date of birth suspect since girls only needed consent until they we 18 years old. If the dates were correct she would have been 20 years old. Her brother William Jr. also signed the document as a witness. This single document bears the signatures of both William Sr. and Jr. as well as Asa Finley. Wythe County Court Records Asa Finley's signature on his application for a Marriage Bond to marry Esther Finley, August 18, 1806. Shortly thereafter, Asa and Esther returned to Christian County to make their home. Asa shows up claiming additional land "on the West fork of the Red River" on September 26, 1807. Asa also is listed as buying land from a man named John Roberts on February 1, 1808. He paid $100 for 100 acres "on the West Fork of Red River". At some point after Asa and Esther's marriage and before 1810, Esther's brother, William Gleaves and his wife also made the move to Christian County, Kentucky. It is quite possible they traveled together. Christian County Deed Extracts The 1810 census finds the family of "Acy Finley" along with the families of his brother and sister all living in Christian County. Esther was not named in the census, only counted in her age group. Only the head of household was listed by name until the 1850 Census. Their first of five children is also counted although family records show Eliza Finley was not born until 1811. Also listed in the census are four slaves, no names given. 1810 Kentucky Census Records Asa and Esther are listed in County Tax Rolls until at least 1817. In that year he is listed as owning five tracts of land totaling 875 acres. He also owned four slaves and six horses. Christian County Tax Lists 1814-1817 Esther is mentioned in her father's 1820 will, "To my daughter Esther Findley I bequeath my negroe Malinda". She also received a share of the proceeds from the sale of William's personal property. The Will of William Gleaves Sr. Westward to Missouri Sometime in 1818, Asa and his brother Dabney decided to push further westward and moved their families to Saline County, Missouri. Esther and their three oldest children made the trip with Asa. The reason for the move is not known, although we know they had arrived prior to September 18, 1818. On that date the sale of Asa's last parcel of land in Kentucky was completed and he is listed as living in Missouri at the time. Finley Family Records Saline County is in the central part of the state about 50 miles east of Kansas City. The Santa Fe Trail ran through the County. Asa and Esther were some of the earliest settlers in the Sappington Neighborhood near the town of Arrow Rock. Local Saline County historical records list them living there by 1819. Their three youngest children were born here in Missouri. There are very few records of the family during the first few years in Missouri, but by 1824 that would change. History of Saline County, Missouri The Cash Entry Act Asa and Esther began acquiring land after Congress passed the Cash Entry Act. Under this law, parcels of land, up to a Section in size (640 acres), were sold at auction to the early settlers of Missouri and several other states. The Act of April 24, 1820 set the minimum price for sale of public land at $1.25 an acre and the minimum unit of sale at 80 acres. Land was initially offered by district land offices at pre-announced, scheduled public auctions. Then, if unsold, lands became available for purchase at the $1.25 minimum price on a first-come-first-served basis. From 1824 through 1851, Asa aggressively bid and purchased at least 25 parcels in and around Saline County. It is reported that at the time of his death, his holdings were in excess of 3,000 acres. This deed for eighty acres of land was issued to Asa Finley on June 1, 1824. It was the first of 25 such deeds. The price paid for each acre does not appear on the document. Esther died sometime around March 1, 1839, although the exact date is not known. She would have been about 53 years old at the time. Asa lived another 14 years, passing away on April 08, 1853. During this period he married twice more and had additional children. There are a number of children listed as being born into this marriage, although some of the information may not be reliable. Some researchers credit Esther with giving birth to children after her date of death. These are most likely children from Asa's second marriage. At least five children can be identified with the marriage of Asa and Esther Finley. In his will, Asa was very generous with the all his children. He appears to have been a very prosperous man. His land speculation may have led to this fortune. After providing roughly $3,000 in property for each child, the estate was still reported to be in excess of $30,000. Finley Family Papers 9) James Turk Gleaves February 26, 1788 - March 11, 1862 James is the ninth of eleven children and youngest son of William and Elizabeth. Of the five sons, he is the only one to live his life in Wythe County, Virginia. James was involved in the Wythe County Militia. In 1813, "Ensign James T. GLEAVES" was a member of Captain Samuel Graham's Company, a unit of the 35th Regiment, 3rd Division of Virginia Militia. The Company served for a period in the defense of Norfolk, Virginia. Wythe County History James received land from his father as early as 1818. There are reports of a transaction that year although this author does not possess the details of the conveyance. Wythe Count Deed Book At the age of 30, James was elected to the Virginia House of Delegates. He served from 1818 until 1825 and again in 1838. Family history reports that he was repeatedly encouraged to run for Congress, but declined since it would take him away from his beloved Wythe County for extended periods of time. The General Assembly of Virginia On June 1, 1820, James was appointed a Magistrate on the Wythe County Court and qualified to hold this position on August 8th of the same year. It is not known how long he served in this capacity. Early Adventurers on the Western Waters III When his father died in 1820, James was the recipient of the bulk of his father's estate. Virtually all the land passed to him, although his mother had use of some of the property during her lifetime. Two of his older brothers had already died and the remaining two had established themselves in Tennessee. None of his sisters received any of the family land. In return, he was to pay his sisters $25.00 each and "support his mother and sister Nancy in her single life". The Will of William Gleaves Sr. Malvina Crockett 1800 - 1870 On November 14, 1822, James married Malvina Crockett in Wythe County. Malvina was the daughter of Samuel Crockett (1775-1808) and Elizabeth Campbell Taylor. Several researchers have made the claim that Malvina was the sister/cousin of Davy Crockett, noted for his role at the Alamo. This author has researched several sources dealing with Crockett genealogy and can not substantiate these claims. James continued in his father's tradition by acquiring and improving land. There are at least six Land Grants issued in the name of "James T. GLEAVES". The dates of the grants range from 1820 until 1851. The grants totaled 587 acres and were all described as being "On the Waters of Cripple Creek". State Library of Virginia In 1850, James was listed in an Agricultural Census with land holdings of 2,550 acres in Wythe County. The property was valued at $20,000. 1850 Wythe County Census of Agriculture When his mother died in 1840, James received additional slaves and clear title to all lands. Malvina also received a china press. James was named the executor of the will. All proceeds from the sale of the estate were to be divided equally among her remaining children. Early Adventurers on the Western Waters III "Major J. T. Cleaves, Sr., father of Dr. Samuel Cleaves, has now three of his four sons in the service of the Confederacy, viz: Jas. T. Cleaves, Jr. of the Wythe Grays now in Martinsburg, Capt. Robert H. Cleaves of the Wythe Minute Men, in camp at this place, and Dr. S. C. Cleaves, surgeon of the First Regiment. Mr. George Wythe Cleaves, his fourth son, though unavoidably detained at home for the present, is ready to pitch in whenever his service is required. When it is taken into consideration that the Major was himself a volunteer in the War of 1812, it must be conceded that few men can boast of having rendered better service to the Country. The Major's boys are all over 6 feet high and make no. 1 soldiers, and their father though well advanced in life is yet able to give the Yankees considerable trouble if it should become necessary for him to take a hand in the fight." Wytheville Telegraph July 3, 1861 James and Malvina raised five sons, all fought in the Civil War for the Confederacy. Two sons died as a result of that conflict. Malvina outlived James by eight years. They are believed to be buried in the Gleaves Family Cemetery in the Cripple Creek Valley. 10) Sarah "Sally" Gleaves February 20, 1790 - March 11, 1862 Sarah was the 10th of eleven children born on Cripple Creek. As with her brothers and sisters, there is no known record of her until her marriage to Nathan Allen. Nathan Allen 1781 - 1871 Nathan was born in Augusta County, Virginia, the son of Robert Allen. Robert Allen married Jane Turk on May 18, 1768 in Augusta County, Virginia. Robert Allen was a Revolutionary War soldier and was present at the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown in 1781. He died about 1789. After her husband's death, Jane emigrated to Kentucky in 1798 with 7 sons and 4 daughters and settled in Cumberland County, in the Marrowbone Valley, on Allen's Creek. Robert had explored this land previously and hoped to move his family there. He died before he could realize his dream, so Jane fulfilled his vision. Allen Family records state that Sarah married Nathan Allen in September 6, 1810, in Cumberland County, Kentucky in the Marrowbone Valley and settled on Allen's Creek in the same County. This author had previously documented the marriage occurring in Wythe County, Virginia. Sally and Nathan were first cousins. Their mothers were both daughters of Thomas Turk Sr. and his first wife, Margaret. The Geneaology of Robert Allen Sr Nathan is responsible for much of what we know of the family history. His bible is one of the most valuable tools researchers have for studying the William Gleaves family. The bible lists the names and information on Nathan and Sallie's ten children and Sallie's brothers and sisters. The family history also states that Nathan and Sarah moved to Warren County, Kentucky in 1835. This author has found no reason for this move. More research is needed. The Nathan Allen Bible Obituary of Sallie Gleaves Allen We do know that Sallie died in Warren County, Kentucky on March 11, 1862. Nathan would live another ten years. Pasted into her husband's Bible, is a copy of her printed obituary. The newspaper it appeared in is unknown to this author. "Died at her home in Warren County, Ky., on the 11th of March, 1862, Mrs. Sallie Allen, wife of Mr. Nathan Allen, and for many years a most exemplary member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. Sister A. was born in Wythe Co., Va., and lived to the ripe old age of 72 years and 19 days. Professing religion at Marrowbone, Cumberland Co., Ky., more than 30 years ago, under the ministry of A. Chapman, W. Harris and our now venerable Bro. C. Weeden, and trained under the ministry of these faithful brothers, her piety was that of the old Cumberland type; that is deep, earnest, and yet unostentatiously quiet. The writer, for years intimate with the family, and often visiting the departed in her long affliction, remembers, with melancholy pleasure, the many seasons of holy Christian communion enjoyed with the now broken household. Her house was the preacher's home." Nathan and Sallie lived their lives on Allen's Creek and eleven children were born to this marriage. This author is sure that more documentation exists on their lives in Kentucky, although he has not had an opportunity to research them further. 11) Nancy Gleaves April 7, 1792 - About 1855 Nancy was the youngest child of William and Elizabeth and never married. She remained with her parents until the death of her mother in 1840 and probably lived the remainder of her life with the family of her brother, James T. Gleaves. Nancy appears in the 1850 census by name at the age of 58. Nancy wrote her Will on March 27, 1843 and died May 16, 1855 at the age of 63. Her Will was probated the following month. She left $50 to each of her sisters, Margaret Turk and Sally Allen and her slaves went to her nephews, the five sons of James Turk Gleaves. Her nephews erected a tombstone in her honor in the Gleaves Family Cemetery in the Cripple Creek Valley. More About William & Elizabeth's Family The story of the William Gleaves Family continues later in this manuscript. Additional generations are chronicled in Chapter 8. Detailed maps of Kentucky and Missouri documenting areas settled by the descendants of Matthew Glaves Sr. appear in Chapter 12. 4 The Family of Michael Glaves About 1755 - 1811 Most families have a child who is the free spirit, blown by the wind, marching to a different beat. Michael appears to be our candidate for this award. His life is well documented. Michael was as a soldier, frontiersman, sportsman and entrepreneur. Michael was the middle son of Matthew and Esther Glaves. His birthdate is not known although in Chapter One we place it as the mid-1750s. The vast majority of entries found referring to Michael during his lifetime list him as "Michael GLAVES". Shortly after his death in 1811, entries concerning his estate and children begin appearing exclusively with the surname spelled "GLEAVES". Michael is first identified while still a minor in 1772, through the lawsuit Turk vs. Raferty, which is detailed in Chapter One. His brother William had been named his guardian, although there does not appear to be any court record of this event. "...Bill of Chancery ... whereby Thomas TURK and Mary his wife, William GLAVE and Elizabeth GLAVE, and Michael GLAVE, Esther GLAVE and Matthew GLAVE. Infants by William GLAVE their guardian." His father had died about 1760 when he was fairly young. Within a few years of his father's death, Michael's mother Esther had remarried to Thomas Rafferty. It is assumed that he at least initially lived with his mother and stepfather during his formative years. Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia Thomas and Esther Rafferty had moved to Washington County, Virginia before the children filed the court case against them. It is not known if Michael made the move with them or remained in Augusta County with the families of his older brother or sister. His brother William had married Elizabeth Turk in 1770 and his sister Mary married Thomas Turk four years earlier in 1766. Court documents contain no signatures of the children, which would clearly establish his being in Augusta County in 1772. Subsequent entries pertaining to Michael make it likely that he remained in Augusta County with relatives. Sometime in 1772, his brother William moved his family to the Cripple Creek Valley in present day Wythe (pronounced With) County, Virginia. It would appear that Michael made the trip with them. "William GLEAVES" shows up on the rolls of the Botetourt County Militia for that year. Michael would still have been a minor and is not listed. Early Adventurers on the Western Waters Confrontation with Native American Indians The early 1770s were a period of unrest in the settlements on the western frontier of Virginia, particularly west of the Cripple Creek Valley. Friction between the new inhabitants and several Native American Indian tribes escalated as settlement pushed further westward. Indian attacks to protect their hunting grounds and retaliation by the colonists had made the area unsafe for both groups. The following excerpts from a document titled Native American Clashes with European Settlers describes the situation at the time. "The Indians had no concept of "private property", as applied to the land. Only among the Delawares was it customary for families, during certain times of the year, to be assigned specific hunting territories. Apparently this was an unusual practice, not found among other Indians. Certainly, the idea of an individual having exclusive use of a particular piece of land was completely strange to Native Americans. "The Shawnee had never given up their claims to western Virginia and interpreted the rapid settlement as act of aggression. Hostilities reached a climax in 1773 when land speculator Michael Cresap led a group of volunteers from Fort Fincastle (later renamed Fort Henry) at present day Wheeling, West Virginia and raided Shawnee towns in what became known as Cresap's War. One of the worst atrocities was the murder of several family members Mingo chief, Tah-gah-jute, who had been baptized under the English name Logan. Logan, who had previously lived peacefully with the settlers, killed 13 western Virginians that summer in revenge. Virginia Governor, John Murray, Earl of Dunmore, plotted to crush the Shawnee and end hostilities. Dunmore drew up a plan to trap the Shawnee between two armies. The governor personally led the northern army while land speculator Andrew Lewis led a smaller force from the south." http://www.wvlc.wvnet.edu/history/indland.html Dunmore's War: The Battle of Point Pleasant The first entries documenting Michael's presence in the Wythe County area occur when it was still part of Fincastle County. On August 13, 1774 a list of the men in Captain Daniel Smith's Company of the Fincastle Militia includes "Michael GLAVES" as "AWOL" from a fort at "Upper Station". This author has not been able to locate the present day location of this fort. Two weeks later on August 29th, "Michael GLAVES" appears on the rolls of Captain Smith's Company stationed at the fort at Big Crab Orchard. This fort was located in what is now, Tazwell County, Virginia. Virginia's Colonial Soldiers Michael had probably not reached his 21st birthday yet when he left Big Crab Orchard with Captain Smith's Company to join the Southern Force under the command of General Andrew Lewis. About the first of September, the companies under the command of General Lewis rendezvoused at Camp Union, now Lewisburg, West Virginia. The force, made up of volunteers and militia units, numbered approximately 1,100 men divided into two regiments. The Army left Camp Union on September 11th and after a nineteen-day march through thick mountainous terrain, reached the Ohio River. They intended to link up here with Dunmore's Northern Force before pursuing the Indians, but events overtook this plan. On October 10th the army was camped near the present day town of Point Pleasant, West Virginia. At dawn, scouts for the Southern Force reported that a large body of Indians was camped two miles north on the Ohio River. General Lewis immediately dispatched two columns of men to confront the enemy. The following are excerpts from an account of the battle by Captain John Stuart of the Botetourt Regiment. "The detachments marched out in two lines and met the Indians in the same order of march, about four hundred yards from the camp and in sight of the guard. The Indians made the first fire and killed both the scouts in front of the two lines. Just as the sun was rising, a very heavy fire commenced ...our men had given way some distance before they were reinforced by the other companies issuing in succession from the camp. The Indians in turn had to retreat, until they formed a line behind logs and trees, and kept up their fire 'till sundown." History of the Battle of Point Pleasant Late in the day General Lewis turned the tide of the battle when he ordered three of his companies in a flanking movement of the Indian's defensive position. The Indians, under the command of their leader Cornstalk, believing these to be reinforcements from Dunmore's Northern Force, broke off the engagement. Elements of Dunmore's Force did arrive after the battle, about 11 o'clock that evening. Accounts of the battle place General Lewis' losses at 81 killed with another 141 men wounded. Estimates of Indian losses are just that, but are reported to be 233. The Shawnee retreated to their towns in the Ohio Territory and for all practical purposes, ended any threat to the Virginia settlements. Many point to this battle as the beginning of the American Revolution since it insured that the patriots could fight the British without fear of attacks from their Shawnee allies. The first shots of the American Revolution did not actually occur until the next year, 1775. Michael Glaves is not mentioned by name in accounts of the Battle of Point Pleasant, although several sources list him among the soldiers participating. We do know that the members of Captain Smith's Company appear in Fincastle Court records and were compensated for their service. "Michael GLAVES" is listed on these rolls and was paid two pounds and eight shillings for his tour of duty. Soldiers of Fincastle County 1774 Michael and the American Revolution There are at least two other documented records of Michael's participation in the American Revolution. The first is actually a continuation of his Indian exploits. "On July 22, 1776, the Virginia Council received a letter from President Rutledge of the South Carolina Council stating that hostilities had been started by the Cherokee Indians as allies of the British. He also said that Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina had agreed to put an expedition in the field and asked for the co-operation of southwest Virginia. The British Government incited and armed the Indians in the Spring of 1776. The Nations so armed included the Creeks, Cherokees, Choctaws and the Chickasaws. They were induced to take up arms in behalf of their British Allies". Genealogies of Virginia Families Virginia's response to the request was to muster two battalions of militia under the command of Colonel William Christian, a veteran of the Battle of Point Pleasant. The expedition would become known as The Rear Guard of the Revolution. Listed among the Captains whose militia companies made up this force are some familiar names. Family members served in several of their companies over the years. Among those listed was Captain Daniel Smith, in whose company Michael Glaves served two years earlier during the Battle of Point Pleasant. Colonel Christian's orders were quite clear. "When your battalion and the battalion under Colonel Charles Lewis are completed, you are to march with them and the forces under the command of Colonel Russell, and such others as may join you from Carolina, into the Cherokee country, if these forces shall be judged sufficient for the purpose of severely chastising that cruel and perfidious Nation, which you are to do in a manner most likely to put a stop to future insults and ravages and that may rebound most of the honor of American arms". A list of the privates from Southwest Virginia in this force includes "Michael GLEAVES". Those listed are not broken down by company, although it is likely that Michael still served with Captain Daniel Smith. Genealogies of Virginia Families Several of the Indian nations mentioned above claimed hunting grounds in the lands that eventually became the State of Tennessee. This expedition is documented as penetrating the interior of that region. It is entirely possible that this campaign provided Michael Glaves with his first glimpse of the frontier he would settle ten years later. "Among the men of Colonel Christian's army were many from the interior counties of Virginia, who saw now for the first time the limpid streams, the rich valleys, and luxuriant uplands of lower Tennessee, and experienced its genial climate, where the heats of August and September are tempered by a cool breeze which comes continually down from the mountain altitudes, "stealing and giving odors." They were enraptured with the country; and, even before peace was concluded, they chose out spots for the homes to which they soon afterward emigrated." The Rear Guard of the Revolution The campaign lasted for three months and was successful in ending, for a time, the threat of aggression from Indian Tribes aligned with the British. Among the various tribes, all sued for peace except the Chickamugas and their Chief, Dragging Canoe. He refused to "come in" and swore eternal vengeance against the white settlers. As a condition of the peace treaty, the other tribes gave up large portions of territory in the interior of Tennessee. After this foray into Indian lands, Michael returned to Montgomery County, Virginia. Oath of Allegiance During the Revolutionary War, each county was required to keep a list of those individuals who took the Oath of Allegiance to the Commonwealth of Virginia. During 1777 and 1778, John Montgomery compiled his list from among the men of several militia companies in Montgomery County. The Preamble reads as follows: "The names of those persons within the District to which I was appointed to administer the Oath of Allegiance and fidelity those who have taken said oath are as followeth, to wit." The name "Michael GLAVES" appears on the list under the date of September 23, 1777. Early Adventurers on the Western Waters Family history suggests that both Michael and his older brother William participated in the Battle of King's Mountain, South Carolina in 1780. Kings Mountain was a significant victory for the Americans at a time when they desperately needed good news to further the cause of American Independence. Troops from Montgomery County did participate in the battle, but nowhere can either brother be found. There is evidence to suggest that these reports are simply family folklore passed down over time. On April 2, 1782 William Gleaves, Michael's older brother, filed three Public Service Claims in Montgomery County Court. "William GLEVES came into Court and made satisfactory proof that he furnished Captain Campbell's Company of light horse Militia of Montgomery County with sixteen diets, sixteen sheves of Oats, 200 pounds of Beef, and the Washington Militia sixteen Diets, corn and hay for Eight horses one night, also Twenty-four Diets for a Company of patrollers under Sergt. Brumit, the whole amount 5 pounds, 2 Shillings". The dates on which William supplied these rations are not known although the supplies for Captain Campbell's Company probably occurred in late September 1780. Early Adventurers on the Western Waters, Commissioner's Book The first entry, involving Captain Isaac Campbell's Company, would have occurred just before the Battle of Kings Mountain, October 7, 1780. The following information documents the exploits of the company. The Battle of Shallow Ford "Four companies of Patriots, numbering about 160, from Montgomery County, Virginia, under Maj. Joseph Cloyd and Captains Henry Francis, Isaac Campbell, George Parris, and Abraham Trigg had followed earlier troops headed to meet Col. Ferguson. When they reached western North Carolina, they learned of Ferguson's defeat at Kings Mountain, and were redirected to Surry County. These four companies from Virginia (about 160 men) joined with the first three companies sent out from Charlotte and Salisbury (about 110 men) and with the local Surry county militiamen who had not pursued Ferguson (about 80 men). On Saturday morning, October 14th, about 9:30 a.m., this force of 350 men were on the west side of a small stream, now called the Battle Branch, near the Shallow Ford crossing of the Yadkin River. Suddenly they saw the head of the Tory force which had threatened the county for the past weeks. Numbering between 400 and 900, they had crossed the Yadkin and were moving westward on the Mulberry Fields Road. Both sides hastily formed and fired several rounds at each other. The Whigs, though outnumbered, quickly gained the advantage. Captain (James?) Bryan, of the notorious Tory Bryan clan, who led the Tory forces, was quickly killed, along with 13 others. The Tories retreated pell-mell back across the Yadkin, shouting "we are whipped, we are whipped." As they were well mounted, they made good their escape. Captain Henry Francis of the Whigs lost his life, and four others were wounded. The battle probably lasted about 45 minutes." The Battle of Shallow Ford has long been overlooked by historians. Recent research shows that, at the time, it was a significant victory for the Patriot forces. Occurring exactly a week after Kings Mountain, these two battles turned the tide of the War for Independence in North Carolina to the Patriots' advantage." http://www.cbiinternet.com/shallowford/battle.htm This map of a four-state area, shows the relative locations of a number of landmarks discussed in this chapter. Shallow Ford is in the center of the map; to the North are Montgomery County, Virginia and the Cripple Creek Settlement. Due East is Guilford Court House and Southwest is Kings Mountain, South Carolina. This same Internet site referenced above, contains a list of individuals titled Soldiers at the Battle of Shallow Ford. The rolls of the Montgomery County Militia list two other officers in Captain Isaac Campbell's Company; "Lieutenant William Dean, Lieutenant Michael GLEAVES". There is no record of William Gleaves being among the men of any of the four companies and most likely remained in Montgomery County during both of these engagements. William would participate in the Battle of Guilford Courthouse six months later. That engagement is detailed in Chapter 3. It does not appear that Michael or his brother William ever applied for a Revolutionary War Pension, although both brothers are mentioned in applications made by others. These applications confirm Michael's involvement at Shallow Ford. John Ewing S. 31015 "3 April 1833. Logan Co., Ky. John Ewing of said county, aged 72, declares he was born in Prince Edward Co., Va., in June 1761. By an order of the Governor of Virginia, Isaac Campbell and Robert Lawyers, both of Montgomery (County), were directed to raise two companies of light horse or rangers to serve for six months. He volunteered under Isaac Campbell. Michael GLAVES was lieutenant and John Rent ensign. They rendezvoused at the lead mines. Col. Abram Trigg took command and they marched up New River and crossed at Jones' Ford and proceeded across the mountains to the headwaters of the Yadkin River. Here they fell in with a party of Tories commanded by Capt. Kyle. They killed between twelve and twenty of the Tories and dispersed the balance. His former captain, Henry Francis, was killed in the fight and was the only Whig that was touched by the enemy. From there they went on to the Moravian towns. After being there a short time they returned to Virginia." Virginia Revolutionary Pension Applications, Vol. 35 Robert Black S.1167 "8 Nov. 1832. Woodford Co., Ky. Robert Black of said County, aged 82, declares he was born in Augusta Co., Va. He volunteered under Capt. Isaac Campbell and Lieut. Michael GLAVES and marched to Dunker's Bottom on New River in pursuit of Tories. They marched down New River to Draper's Meadows where they remained some time and caught a good many Tories. They then marched into Carolina on the Yadkin to the Moravian Town, took a number of Tories, and then marched to the heads of the New River and the Yadkin where they had a skirmish with the Tories. They had one man killed; several Tories were also killed. They returned home and were discharged, having served three months." Virginia Revolutionary Pension Applications, Vol. 7 Michael Buster S. 1178 "18 June 1833. Pulaski Co., Ky. Michael Buster of said county, aged 75, declares... In Montgomery County in April 1781 he volunteered in a company of light horse of Capt. Isaac Campbell, Lt. Michael GLAZE and Ens. John Rare and in May the company assembled and marched with another company of light horse to North Carolina and ranged on the Yadkin and Catawba rivers and on the borders of South Carolina. He was at the battle fought with the Tories at the Shallow ford of Yadkin River. The Tories were under Col. Wright. The two horse companies were under Captains Campbell and Man (Mars?) and the footmen were under Maj. Cloyd. The Tories were defeated and prevented from joining the British forces. The battle was fought the Saturday after the battle of King's Mountain and they would have been in that battle but a portion of their forces were dispatched to disperse the Tories that had embodied themselves under Capt. Martin. They dispersed Martin and his Tories although upwards of three to our one. He served to the latter part of Oct. 1781 when they were directed to return home. After their return he engaged with others in ranging against the Tories and in the winter received a discharge." Virginia Revolutionary Pension Applications, Vol. 13 James Hall (Margaret) R. 4478 "25 Sept. 1833. Blount Co., Tenn. James Hall declares he was born 29 June 1760 in Pennsylvania and moved at an early age to Guilford Co., N.C. Then he moved to Montgomery Co., Va., where he entered service at the age of 17 or 18 under Captain Preston as a volunteer. 4 Aug. 1845. Blount Co., Tenn. Robert Rhea of said county, aged 82, declares he served with James Hall in several detachments of Virginia militia in 1779 and 1780 for short terms under Captains Love, Preston and their subalterns, amounting to five or six months and in a company of cavalry under Capt. Isaac Campbell, Lt. Michael GLEAVIS, Ens. William Dean, Col. Walter Crockett, Maj. Floyd and Gen. William Campbell from early in May 1780 until June or July of 1782. The troops rendezvoused at New River at the lead mines and Fort Chisel (Chiswell) and were in service in Virginia and North Carolina and at the battle of Shallow ford of the Yadkin on Saturday after the battle of King's Mountain." Virginia Revolutionary Pension Applications, Vol. 49 After the War, several states, including Virginia and North Carolina, granted Bounty Warrants for unclaimed land to its veterans in appreciation of their service. Although there is no record of Michael ever serving in the North Carolina militia, that state issued Warrant #563 to him, dated August 3, 1784. North Carolina grants were for land in Tennessee, while Virginia granted lands in Kentucky. This author does not have a copy of this document so can't comment further. His claim to land is detailed later in this chapter. There appears to be a piece of the puzzle missing here in that most grants went to soldiers serving in the militia of the state granting the land rights. Did Michael live, even briefly, in North Carolina? Bob Carver reports that Michael attained the rank of Captain at some point. This author has not seen this documentation. Could this have occurred in North Carolina? Michael remained active in militia after the Revolutionary War. The Cripple Creek Valley Michael had moved to present-day Wythe County between 1772 and 1774. No land records pertaining to him appear at that time, since he was probably still a minor. It isn't until 1780 that any record (other than militia) pertaining to him is found in this region. On November 7, 1780, "Michael GLAVES" appears in Montgomery County Court as a member of a Grand Jury. No details of the case were recorded. This entry confirms that Michael had reached the age of 21 by this date, so the latest he could have been born would have been 1759. Annals of Southwest Virginia On April 5, 1781, "Michael GLEAVES" and his brother appear on the Montgomery County militia rolls in Captain James Newell's Company. This list was produced shortly after the Battle of Guilford Court House where members of the company, including Brother William, participated in the engagement. If Michael also participated, no documentation has been found. On September 11, 1782, an entry in Montgomery County, Virginia Court Records grants a Commissioner's Certificate to "Michael GLAVES for 200 acres on branch of Cripple Creek, adjoining William GLAVES' line". The entry just below it grants William GLAVES a certificate for an additional 300 acres of land on Mill Creek, branch of Cripple Creek. Early Adventurers on the Western Waters A later, undated entry does provide some insight as to when Michael first established his own homestead. "Michael GLAVIS, 100 acres on a branch of Cripple Creek, adjoining Wm. GLAVES line, settled 1777". Since this document wasn't recorded until 1782, it offers no new information to narrow his date of birth. Montgomery County Deed Book, page 215 That same year "Michael GLAVES" is listed on the Montgomery County tax rolls as a landowner with six horses and six head of cattle. Tax List of Montgomery County, Virginia 1782 Westward to Lincoln County, Kentucky Sometime after the tax rolls were completed in 1782, Michael left Montgomery County, Virginia. No records have been found showing that he sold the property he owned there, so the approximate date can't be narrowed down beyond a two-year window. Some researchers have claimed that Michael Gleaves came to Tennessee around 1780, although several Kentucky records would argue otherwise. Other family researchers place Michael at the Daniel Boone Settlement in Northern Kentucky about that same time, but nothing documenting this claim has been found either. There are only a few scant reports to document Michael's time in Kentucky and none refer to the Boone Settlement. It is possible that Michael first went to North Carolina. As previously mentioned, he received a North Carolina Bounty Warrant dated August 3, 1784. It is not clear if he traveled to North Carolina to apply for the grant or received it by some other method. We do know that two weeks after the date the warrant was granted he appeared in a Kentucky court. Some family historians suggest that he married his wife Rachel in North Carolina although no proof has been found. The Kentucky District of Virginia had existed for some time before it was subdivided into counties. On November 1, 1780, most of the present-day State was divided into three counties. The largest of these, covering most of the southern half, became Lincoln County. The county seat was at Harrodsburg, located in the middle of the state. "Michael GLAVES" first shows up in Lincoln County Court records on March 17, 1784 as a defendant in a lawsuit filed by John Hall. The suit was over a debt although no details are provided. The following day, "Michael GLAVES" served on a jury at the same location. The jury heard a case; John Warford vs. Benjamin Pelton. The case was decided in favor of the plaintiff, but there are no details explaining the circumstances. Five months later on August 17, 1784 he again is in court, this time entering himself as "special bail" for the defendant in a trespass case. Lincoln County, Kentucky Records Volume 2 Lincoln County Court records for 1785 also list "Michael GLAVES" on several occasions. February 18th, John Hall drops his lawsuit "on debt. Discontinued, being agreed". On June 21, 1785 a second lawsuit filed by John Francis against "Michael GLAVES" is ordered discontinued, no details are provided. The final entry occurs on August 17, 1785 when "Michael GLAVES" serves on another jury, this time in a case titled John Crow vs. Arthur Owens dealing with trespass. Lincoln County, Kentucky Records Volume 2 During this 18-month period, Michael appears in court records six times but none of the entries gives any clue as to where in the vast county he lived at the time. No land records have been uncovered to more accurately pinpoint his location. While some of these entries could have been made without him appearing personally before the court, his service on the two juries appears to indicate he was in the county the whole time. There is no record of when Michael left Lincoln County or where he went. It would be eighteen months before he resurfaces, this time in Davidson County, Tennessee. This researcher is puzzled by Michael's attraction with Kentucky. He had applied for a Bounty Grant from the State of North Carolina that was approved in 1784. Bounty grants for land in Kentucky came from the State of Virginia, while those approved by North Carolina were in it's Tennessee Territory. These lands were at the time the western part of that state, known only as "The Western Lands". It is possible that he may have moved to Kentucky with others. His brother Matthew settled in Kentucky also, but not until a year later and much further north in Bourbon County. If Michael had married by this time, he may have gone to Kentucky with members of his wife's family. Then again, this is our free spirit; maybe he just wanted to see Kentucky. This author looks forward to others answering this question. The Travels of Michael Glaves The adventures of Michael Glaves are fairly well documented. Between 1772 and 1787 he is recorded at least seven different locations in a five state area. The Turner Manuscript Sometime during the early part of the 20th Century, Dr. Edgar Lee Gleaves of Nashville, Tennessee took notes during an interview with J. Miller Turner as he recited in great detail, the family history of Michael Gleaves. Mr. Turner was the great grandson of Michael Gleaves. No date of the interview is given, although we know that Mr. Turner died on June 2, 1925. Dr. Gleaves then compiled a document titled The Gleaves Family which he updated several times into the 1940s. The first part of the six-page document is included here. The document is sometimes difficult to follow as it winds through five or six generations. It is a valuable tool for identifying additional members of the Michael Gleaves Family. Those individuals are recorded in Chapter 9. This oral history contains some errors but we owe much to both Mr. Turner and Dr. Gleaves. This chapter contains an excerpt of the manuscript dealing with Michael and his children. It begins: "The original family by the name of Gleaves came from Dillingham, England, to America, the exact date being unknown. Several years prior to the Colonial War they settled in Virginia near Roanoke where several descendants still live. The first one of the family to come to Tennessee was Mike Gleaves, who came to the Boone Settlement in Northern Kentucky, from there to Mansker's Fort situated about fourteen miles north of what is now Nashville. The fort was built in the form of a stockade on Mansker's Creek at a large spring on what is now the boundary line between Davidson and Sumner Counties, about one and one half miles northeast of the Cumberland River. This settlement was under the command of Captain Mansker. Mike Gleaves at that time entered the Colonial Army and fought at the Battle of King's Mountain in 1780, after which he returned to Fort Mansker with his two Negro servants and there married a lady named Rachel, last name unknown to the writer. This marriage was in 1788. Of this union there were born five children, four sons and a daughter: Thomas 1789; Michael 1791; Matthew 1793; William 1795; given name of the daughter not known, 1797. All were born at Fort Mansker. Mike Gleaves left Fort Mansker with his family and secured Land Grant No. ? (appears to be 26) to six hundred forty acres across the Cumberland river from Fort Mansker in what is known as the Jones-Hadley Bend, now occupied by the Powder Plant (during World War I 1917-19), after that known as Old Hickory and being the site of the Dupont Rayon and Cellophane plants. On this 640 acres is located the family burying ground, where he and his wife are buried. He also bought 640 acres adjoining him, and at a sheriffs sale purchased another 100 acres, giving him a total of 1300 acres. He was a wealthy man at that date. He was one of the first seven men to pay taxes in Davidson County in the year 1792. The date of his death is not known to this writer." The Gleaves Family This author has a great deal of respect for family histories handed down over generations. They are to genealogy, what the classics are to literature. To question a detail in such a document, borders on heresy. Discounting information provided by family elders must require documented proof. This author undertakes this challenge with the utmost respect for Mr. Turner and will attempt to confirm as many details as possible. Since the time of this interview, many new genealogical sources have been published and new information finds its way to the Internet daily. These tools are used in the analysis of this historical record. Several details in this document appear to be contradicted by other reference sources. As reported in the first chapter, Bob Allen tried to locate Dillingham, England but no such town existed. It appears that Mr. Turner was referring to the town of Willingham. Earlier in this chapter evidence was offered that suggests that Michael Gleaves' militia unit arrived too late to participate in the Battle of Kings Mountain and was redirected to the Shallow Ford engagement. This account mentions five children by name. We know from Michael's Will that he had at least seven children and possibly more. Finally, Mr. Turner places Michael at Mansker's Fort prior to the battle of Kings Mountain in 1780. Other sources provide a record that would indicate that the earliest he could have moved there would be 1785. Michael's Marriage to Rachel An exhaustive search of early marriage records before 1800 in Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee fails to turn up a groom named Michael Gleaves or any variation of the family surname. Later in this chapter the possibility that Michael was married more than once will also be discussed. We do know that Michael was married to a woman named Rachel at the time of his death in 1811. She is mentioned by name in his will, filed in the Davidson County, Tennessee Will Book. "Rachel GLEAVES" is also listed in a family bible and her date of death is recorded as September 7, 1835. This author is not aware of any other researcher that has even ventured a guess as to Rachel's maiden name. Nathaniel Cartmell Bible There is some confusion regarding the dates of birth of some of Michael & Rachel's children. Mr. Turner lists five children while other sources list at least seven. If the date of birth of the oldest son is correct (Thomas-1789), Rachel would have been born sometime before 1775. One daughter attributed to this marriage, Elizabeth, married in 1800, which would mean Rachel was born much earlier. There is a possibility that this daughter is from another marriage. There is no proof that Michael took a wife before he married Rachel but enough evidence exists for researchers to suspect that this may be the case. This issue is discussed at length later in this chapter. Mr. Turner suggests Michael married Rachel in 1788. As discussed in the preceding paragraph, this date may be in error. Other, undocumented sources report that Michael married Rachel in North Carolina prior to moving to Fort Mansker. There are records placing Michael in Tennessee in 1787, which would suggest one of three things: 1.) Michael married Rachel before this date, 2.) He returned to North Carolina and brought her back, or 3.) Her family also came to Tennessee prior to the marriage. No documents have been found to verify or discount Mr. Turner's recollection of these details. Kasper Mansker's Fort Kasper Mansker was a hunter and fur trader who began probing the Middle Tennessee area as early as 1769. He was one of the first white men to explore the area that would become Davidson County. He and others were called "Long Hunters"; not for their rifles, but for the duration of their hunts, which sometimes lasted two years. His home in the 1770s was Fincastle County, Virginia, home also to William and Michael Gleaves. It is not known if the brothers knew Kasper at that time. In 1779 Kasper Mansker left Fincastle County and established Mansker's Station, a Fort on Mansker's Creek about 15 miles from present day Nashville, Tennessee. This was one of string of outposts known as the Cumberland Settlements, named for the river upon which many were located. This first fort was abandoned in 1781 due to Indian attacks, but Mankser built a second one in the same area in 1783. Additional families from southwest Virginia moved to the area and depended on Mansker's Station for protection from the frequent Indian raids. The Daniel Smith Connection The document from which information on Kasper Mansker is gathered mentions a frequent visitor to the fort, General Daniel Smith. Between 1783-1793, Smith settled land and built a home called Rock Castle. He brought supplies and craftsmen from Lexington, Kentucky to aid in the construction. Daniel Smith is a name familiar to us as "Captain Daniel Smith" was the commander that Michael Gleaves served under at the Battle of Point Pleasant and was most likely his commander in 1776 in the expedition against the Cherokee Nation. If this is the same Daniel Smith, as appears quite likely, it is possible that Michael Gleaves came to Mansker's Station with him when he returned from one of his many trips to Kentucky. Again; no proof, just a theory. http://home.earthlink.net/~dmansker/Station.html Family oral history states that Michael and Rachel lived at Mansker's Station while Michael cleared and planted his land near there. It is reported that each morning he would travel by boat to the property and return to the safety of the fort before nightfall. It is not known how long the couple lived at the fort but the Indian threat from the Creek and Cherokee lasted until 1796. Davidson County, Tennessee Although we do not know exactly when Michael came to Davidson County, we know he was there by 1787. "Michael GLAVES" appears on the first tax list under the following heading. "Names of persons who were in Davidson County in 1787, being the first year in which the tax on land and polls was taken, being white males over twenty one years, three hundred and seventy two and blacks one hundred and five between twelve and sixty years old". This is but the first of more than 150 entries in Davidson County public records referring to Michael over the next 25 years. Virtually all of these records list the spelling of his surname as "GLAVES". Only those that are significant in detailing his life are included in this manuscript. Pioneers of Davidson County To this point, we know nothing about how Michael supported himself. He began to acquire land shortly after his arrival but a single entry on April 10, 1788 sheds some light on his skills as a craftsman. On that date, Michael must have been considered to be a reputable member of the community, since an apprenticeship was assigned to him. "Ordered that Thomas Dunbar an Orphan Boy aged fourteen years and seven months be bound out into Michael GLOVES to Learn the art of weaving if capable of learning the Same or if not To give the sd. Apprentice at the Expiration of his Term a horse and saddle Such as now Trade amongst us for five Second Rate cows and calves and to Read and write In some Tolerable Degree, Or Otherwise Six months Schooling With a Suit of Freedom Clothes". No information with regard to the length of the apprenticeship is included in this abstract. Davidson County Minute Book page 214 In November of 1788, "Michael GLAZE" was summoned for jury duty by the Davidson County's Superior Court of Law and Equity. That same month he is fined for failure to appear in this matter. The amount of the fine and if Michael paid it, are not recorded. Davidson County Minute Book The first record of Michael acquiring land in Tennessee is also recorded in November of 1788, when he is listed as purchasing the land of a "L. Steel", no details are given. On January 16, 1789, he again is recorded as purchasing land with much more detail recorded. "This indenture made January 9, 1789 between Zachariah Stull of one part and Michael GLAVES of the other part, both of Davidson County. Zachariah Stull conveyed unto Michael GLAVES a tract of land containing 100 acres in Davidson County and adjoining Stull's Old Field, McGavock's line and Joseph Hannah's corner. It being part of 640 acres granted to said Stull by patent dated April 16, 1786 in right of Preemption". Davidson County Deed Book A page 278 On July 6, 1789, "Michael GLAVES" joined several others in posting a "Sheriff's Bond" of 5,000 Pounds Sterling for Sampson Williams as Sheriff of Davidson County. It would appear that he already had become successful, since this would have been a significant amount of money at that time. Davidson County Will Book 1 Sometime in late 1789 or early 1790 there is an entry where Michael appears to register his method of identifying his livestock. "GLAVES Mark - Michael GLAVES Records his stock mark thus in the Right Ear an Underkiel and the Same in the Left". This author has looked in vain to find some description of an Underkeil. Davidson County Minute Book page 317 . Michael soon began to amass considerable land holdings. It is clear that he had access to money, since he was able to help post bond for the sheriff shortly after coming to the area. It is possible that Michael dabbled as a land speculator during this period. In December of 1789 "Michael GLAVES" purchased "a tract of land containing 640 acres on the south fork of White's Creek" at what appears to be a Sheriff's foreclosure sale. The transaction was recorded on May 15, 1790 and less than two months later; Michael sold half of this tract to a man named John Smith. Neither entry contains the price paid for the property. Davidson County Deed Book B Michael's Bounty Lands Michael appears to have used his North Carolina bounty grant to acquire the land at Jones Bend that would become the family homestead. The surrounding area would become known as the Hermitage. "Michael GLAVES - Territory of the United States - North Carolina No. 297. For 10 pounds per 100 acres paid by Michael GLAVES was granted a tract of land containing 640 acres in Davidson County on the south side of the Cumberland River about a mile and a half below Jones' improvement. Surveyed for said GLAVES September 10, 1789 by Henry Bradford, D.S., in consequence of a Warrant No. 563, August 3, 1784; November 16, 1789". This entry was filed on July 31, 1792. This appears to be the land that family legend reports as having been cleared and planted while Michael lived at Mansker's Station. Davidson County Deed Book C Sometime prior to July of 1790, Michael had been appointed by the County to be a Road Overseer. This was an important position on the early frontier and these men, with the help of the local militia units, kept the lanes passable for immigration and commerce. Overseers generally lived on or near the roads that they were charged with maintaining. On July 14th Michael was replaced: "Ordered that Daniel Williams Jnr. Oversee the keeping in Repair the Road Leading from Shaws ferry to Manskers Station instead of Michael GLAVES". No reason for the change is given. While we know the location of Mansker's, this author has not been able to pinpoint Shaw's Ferry. It is possible that this entry marked Michael and Rachel's departure from Mansker's Station and it simply wasn't convenient for him to continue in this role from his new homestead, which would be located on the other side of the Cumberland River. Davidson County Minute Book page 372 During this period Michael was also acquiring another form of property; slaves. There are at least three entries in the 1790s where he purchased young blacks and his 1811 Will names others. Davidson County Will Books Hermitage: Thoroughbreds and a Future President During the 1790s, Michael became a wealthy man. It is not definitely known how he made his fortune, but it appears to have been considerable for his time. When he died, Michael owned land in four separate counties and his estate reported that he held notes due him from 39 different individuals. This same period saw the birth of most of his children. We do not know how long Michael and Rachel remained at Mansker's Station, but sometime during this decade they moved to their homestead in an Hermitage area. There are reports that Michael named the home built on this plantation "Breezewood". A biographical sketch of one of Michael's great-grandsons, John Turner notes that the home was still standing in 1897. "...Junius Turner, brother of our subject, is residing in a part of the house, ten miles northeast of Nashville, that his great-grandfather, Michael Gleaves, built." Goodspeed's History of Crockett County, Tennessee "The Hermitage neighborhood was regarded as the best section of Davidson County, the soil being better adapted for cotton than any other part of the county, and was settled by wealthy men and cotton-planters."..... "In the same neighborhood lived a large family of Gleaves, early settlers and prominent men, some of whom are still living." History of Davidson County, Tennessee with Illustrations and Biographical Sketches of Its Prominent Men & Pioneers Around the same time that Michael and Rachel came to Mansker's Station, one of their future neighbors arrived in the area as well. Andrew Jackson came from North Carolina in the late 1780s and stayed at Mansker's Station in 1790-1791. We do not know if the two men lived at the Fort during the same period. We do know that they knew each other and lived very near. Michael and Andrew Jackson shared a passion for thoroughbred racehorses. They are reported to have raced on a course in the Hermitage area known as Clover Bottom. "Newspapers of the passing years reflect the ever increasing cost of bettering horsestock. March was usually marked with extra editions of the Gazette, and later the Clarion, given entirely to advertisements of the pedigrees and powers of fatherhood of the more important stallions. Front pages were illustrated with large woodcuts of Atlas, Wonder, Diomede, Collector, Truxton, (owned by Andrew Jackson), Young Diomede, Royalist and numerous others, their names printed in the boldest, blackest type the editor owned. Following the description of pedigree, size, appearance, age and price, there was always a long list of names of the most noted horseman of Middle Tennessee who attested that all the information, particularly the pedigree, was true, among those who both advertised and attested was often Andrew Jackson". Michael's will mentions horses from two of these bloodlines, "the gray Diomede filly" and "the Truxton colt". The Flowering of the Cumberland A Tiff with Andrew Jackson A biography of Andrew Jackson contains a document pertaining to Michael. According to several sources, in June of 1800, Michael Gleaves made a derogatory remark about the future President, who demanded an apology. Andrew Jackson was known for his temper and had already killed a man named Charles Dickinson in a duel over his honor. Jackson had recently been appointed as Judge in Davidson County and this may have tempered his demand for "satisfaction". Michael appeared to realize that discretion was the better part of valor and filed the following disclaimer with the court. Notes from Bob Carver Affidavit of Michael Gleave State of Tennessee Davidson County June 15, 1800 Whereas a report has been in circulation that I Michael GLIEVS (sic) of the County and State aforesaid Should have, on the sixth Day of June in the Year of our Lord Eighteen hundred and at the House of John Bosley utter and speak the following words of his honour Judge Jackson (to wit) As honest a man as Andrew Jackson was called he had stoalen his Bull and he could prove it.

Donelson Josiah Payne John Hays The Papers of Andrew Jackson No additional information has been found pertaining to this incident. It appears that the two men were able to patch things up and resume their involvement in horse racing. At the time of his death, Michael owned a colt sired by one of Jackson's stallions. According to family researcher Bob Carver, this public apology may have appeared in one of the local newspapers, although the publication of the Affidavit has not been documented yet. A Previous Marriage for Michael? Several researchers, including this author, believe that Michael was married more than once. There are several indications he took a wife prior to marrying Rachel. Birth dates for some of his older children appear to occur before his arrival in Tennessee and prior to the reported date of Michael and Rachel's marriage. Michael would have been in his mid-thirties when he married Rachel. If Michael was married only once, it is likely that his marriage to Rachel occurred much earlier than 1788, as reported. The first indication of an earlier marriage appears in Montgomery County, Virginia about 1780-82. During some of my earliest research, before understanding the Glaves/Gleaves connection, this author found a book of miscellaneous documents relating to that County. Included in this book, was a note listing inhabitants of the Cripple Creek area visited by a tax assessor on a single day. The name of the tax assessor and the date were included in this record. This list contained the names of about 15 heads of households, including Michael's brother "William GLEAVES". No other information about these individuals was listed. At the bottom of the document is a separate entry; the name "Michael GLEAVES", followed by a curious notation: "Mary Dorcas, Infant". The reason for the inclusion of this child is unclear and no indication of her relationship, if any, to Michael appears. Nowhere else in this document are any wives or children mentioned. It is with a great deal of embarrassment that this author reveals that he has misplaced his Xerox copy of this information and efforts to relocate this mystery book among the thousands researched have, thus far, been unsuccessful. Cite Unknown The information cited above would not be included, were it not for a 1798 marriage record appearing in Davidson County, Tennessee. On August 4th of that year a "Mary Dorcas GLEALVES" married a man named John Davis. Davis family records list Mary as the daughter of Michael Gleaves, although nothing to document this relationship has been found by this author. Davidson County Marriage Records John and Mary subsequently moved south to Maury County, Tennessee. One of Michael's sons, Matthew, inherited land from his father in Maury County and lived there from 1810 until at least 1816. While there are no other records relating to Mary that would positively link her to Michael, a man named "John Davis" served a one of the Executors of Michael Glaves' Will in 1811. Mary Dorcas Davis was the subject of a 1993 article in a publication titled Historic Maury Vol 29, Issue 1. The article reportedly deals with a series of letters she wrote to family members. To date this author has not been able to locate a copy of this publication. It may provide some valuable information in connecting Mary to Michael Gleaves. Neither Mary nor any of the other individuals listed below are mentioned in Michael's Will. A second Executor of Michael's Will was a man named Ezekiel B. McCoy. His first wife is reported to have been, "...a Miss Gleaves who died of tuberculosis". This marriage would have occurred about 1810. None of Michael's sons or nephews had a daughter old enough to have been this woman. Ezekiel and his wife were among the first settlers of Madison County, Tennessee. The couple had at least five children. Ezekiel's Will is reported to contain a note that the children from his first wife had property coming to them from the Gleaves family. West Tennessee Supreme Court Minute Book 1841-1850, page 28 Early Tennessee records list several other men with the family surname. The uniqueness of the surname makes this author suspect that some relationship to Michael exists. All the records uncovered occurred after Michael came to Tennessee. As reported in Chapter 1, unrelated families with the same name settled in Pennsylvania and Maryland, although there is no known record of any member of these families migrating to Tennessee. One of the earliest records identifies a "Perry GLEAVES". On July 21, 1788 a man named Jacob Messick was granted a North Carolina bounty grant (No. 515) for his service in the Revolutionary War. The tract contained 2,560 acres of land in Davidson County on the south side of the Cumberland River. A description of the boundaries of the property included the notation; "joining Perry GLEAVES' upper line". This is the only known reference to this individual. Michael settled on the south side of the Cumberland River as well, but the description contained in this entry does not provide enough information to establish if it refers to land in the same general vicinity. Davidson County Land Deeds, page 223 A very brief entry dated November 28, 1794, refers to a "Peter GLEAVES" who was reported to have been scalped by Creek Indians at Sharp's Station, another of the Cumberland Forts near Knoxville, Tennessee. Again this is the only reference to this individual. Southwest History of Tennessee A third individual, "Francis GLEAVES", appears around the turn of the century. Frances is listed as delinquent on the Smith County, Tennessee tax rolls on August 1, 1800. He is listed as owning 2,560 acres on Salt Lick Creek. The document says that the property was to be sold on October 22nd for back taxes. No record of the any further action is listed. Salt Lick Creek appears to be in present day, Trousdale County, near the town of Carthage. Several tracts owned by Michael were located in Wilson County, just to the west. A 1798 Sumner County, Tennessee court entry identifies Francis in the area even earlier. "2 March 1798, William Tyrell, Knox County, Tennessee to Thomas Draper, $320.00, 320 acres part of a tract originally granted to Francis GLEAVES, 2560 acres lying on Salt Lick Creek the waters of the Cumberland River." Sumner County, Tennessee Deeds page 343 Francis would have been too old to be one of Michael's children born at Fort Mansker. He may be a sibling of Mary Dorcas Gleaves, believed to be born in Virginia. Since the children of Michael's brothers have all been identified and none are named Francis, this is the most likely conclusion. If Francis was a female, she could have been a widow. The only known Gleaves death in Tennessee prior to 1800 is that of Peter Gleaves, scalped in 1794. It would have been highly unusual for a land grant to be made to a woman. The Will of Michael Glaves Michael Glaves made his last will on February 13, 1811, in Davidson County, Tennessee. We do not know the exact date of his death, although we do know the will was entered in the County Court on September 20, 1811. Michael would have been between 50-60 years old at the time. It is clear from the opening paragraph of the document that Michael had been in ill health at the time he wrote it. This author does not possess an exact copy of the document and what is reported here is taken from an extract. The opening paragraph appears to be an exact copy. In the name of God amen. I Michael GLAVES of Davidson County having arrived to an old age and being in-firm (in) health but in a perfect sound mind but knowing its appointed for all men to die. I recommend my soul to God and my body to the grave and after being decently buried I wish my estate divided in the following manner. Item 1st, I wish my dearly beloved wife, Rachel GLAVES, to have full and peaceable possession of the Tract of land on which I now live on during her natural life and after death, I give it to my son, Thomas GLAVES. Item 2nd, I give and bequeath to my son, John GLAVES, six hundred and forty acres of land lying in Wilson County on waters of Cedar Lick Creek. Item 3rd, I give and bequeath to my son, William GLAVES, six hundred and forty acres of land lying in Wilson County on Spencers Creek Item 4th, all the lands I have on the Duck River in the counties of Maury and Bedford I give and bequeath to my son Matthew GLAVES Item 5th, I give and bequeath three hundred and forty acres of land lying on the waters of White Creek in Davidson County and 100 acres adjoining Zack Stull in Davidson County to my son, Michael GLAVES, Item 6th, I allow each of my single sons, that is John, Michael and Thomas as long as they continue living with their mother, each of them to keep a horse of their own and no more Item 7th, I give and bequeath to my daughter, Isabella GLAVES, the gray Diomede Filly and a negro girl named Priscilla Item 8th, my sons, John, Michael, Thomas, and William, to pay my daughter, Isabella GLAVES, each $200 when her mother may think she should have it Item 9th, All stock, cattle to be collected next July and sold, except 10 cows and 2 or 3 horses Item 10th, I give a negro girl named Jenna to my son, Matthew GLAVES Item 11th, The balance of my negroes I wish to remain in possession of my wife during her life Executors: Ezekiel B. McCoy, John Davis, and William GLAVES Witnesses: William P. Robinson and Jenny Robinson A Codicil was added to the original document, although it is not clear if it was done at the same time as the will or if it was added later. The codicil deals with additional items that Michael wanted distributed from the estate. The document also references an additional daughter Elizabeth. She clearly is treated differently than the other children. Elizabeth married in 1800 and is clearly older than the others. She may be an additional daughter from a previous marriage. The Codicil reads: (1) I wish my negroes to be sold after the death of my wife, except negro boy, Jack, who will go to my son, Michael GLAVES (2) A negro boy named Jesse I intend for my son, Thomas GLAVES (3) A little yellow slave named Cynthia I give to my granddaughter, Rachel TURNER (4) Also a small girl 5 yrs old Celia, by name, after my wife's death to my son John GLAVES and Celia's increase (5) My daughter, Elizabeth TURNER, $200, in cash to be held in hands of my executors to be paid to her for her benefit and her children, and if she should die before she receives it, my executors are bound to let her children have $200 when they are in want (6) All money due me at this time is to be collected as well as the money from sale of my horses and cattle next fall and equally divided between all my children except Elizabeth TURNER (7) The Truxton colt now a year old I give to my son, Thomas GLAVES (8) My blacksmith tools to my son, John GLAVES The will was probated September 20, 1811. As previously reported, one of the executors was a man named John Davis. This author believes this person to be the husband of Mary Dorcas Gleaves, a possible daughter from a previous marriage. Again, no proof, just an interesting coincidence. Davidson County Will Book 4, page 155 On August 12, 1812 a "List of notes due unto Michael GLAVES, deceased, when he died in the year 1812" was entered by his son "William GLAVES". The list contained 33 names. William would submit a second, shorter list in 1815, with both he and his father's surname spelled with the extra "E". On May 16, 1816, the estate of Michael GLEAVES was settled. The executors, including "William GLEAVES", reported to the Court that there was "found in the hands of the executors" a total of $1863.60 and 1/2 cents. With his death, the family name began to be recorded as "GLEAVES" in most documents. Within ten years the change was complete. All documented family members in Tennessee, whether descended from Michael or his brother William, appear with the same surname. Rachel's life after Michael Rachel Gleaves outlived her husband by almost 25 years. There is very little information pertaining to her after his death. It is assumed that she lived on the family homestead at Jones Bend until her death on September 7, 1835. Rachel outlived three of her five sons. Her date of death is recorded in a family bible belonging to her son-in-law. Nathaniel Cartmell Bible Rachel's will was probated in 1836 and is recorded in county records. This author does not have a copy of the document and can provide no other details contained in it. Davidson County Will Book 10, page 607 Just as others in the family, Michael opened a new frontier. He helped to civilize an untamed area of this country. His roots go deep into Tennessee and his descendants can still be found in the area. Michael and Rachel are reported to be buried on the family plantation, Breezewood, although any markers have long since vanished. The Children of Michael and Rachael Gleaves The children of this marriage are documented through several sources that provide conflicting information. Dr. Edgar Lee Gleaves' documentation of Mr. Turner's recollections of the family include only five children born to Michael and Rachel, but Michael's will mentions at least seven. Also the birthdates are in question given the records of the marriages of some of the children. For purposes of this section, the birth order has been derived from the order the children appear in Michael Gleaves' will. 1) Thomas Gleaves 1789 - February 16, 1831 "Thomas GLAVES" is the first child listed in Michael Glaves' will. Thomas had an older cousin with the same name who also lived in the Davidson County area. The other Thomas (1771-1849) was the son of his uncle, William Gleaves. The identical names and overlapping lifespans make it difficult to positively identify specific records to this subject. In several cases, Thomas identifies himself as "Thomas Gleaves Jr." in what was a fairly common practice, in an effort to differentiate himself from his older cousin. A "Thomas Gleaves" is listed as a member of Captain Creel's Militia Company in 1812. It is unclear which Thomas this entry refers to. Also listed on the rolls are Michael Gleaves Jr., (this Thomas' brother), and Absalom Gleaves, his cousin. All three are privates. Of note, another private listed; Andrew Jackson, the future President. Pioneers of Davidson County Michael Gleaves willed the family homestead, known as "Breezewood", to Thomas, who was to get possession of the property after the death of his mother, Rachel. A codicil to the will also granted to him "A negro boy named Jesse" and "The Truxton colt now a year old". "Truxton" was the name of a stallion owned by Andrew Jackson that sired the colt. The will shows that Thomas was still living at home, unmarried, at the time of his father's death. Thomas died four years before his mother, so it is assumed that he never had title to the family plantation. One of the earliest references to Thomas appears in court records of an estate sale. "Thomas GLAVES" is listed as a purchaser at the estate sale of George W. Payne entered with the court on November 8, 1813. Davidson County, Tennessee Will Books Mary "Polly" Dean 1801 - After 1834 Thomas married Mary Dean in October, of 1817 in Davidson County, Tennessee. The license was issued on October 9th of that year. If the reported date of his birth were correct, he would have been 30 years old at the time. Born on October 11, 1801, Mary may have married Thomas on her 16th birthday. Mary was the daughter of James and Mary (Dickinson) Dean. She was raised on White's Creek in Davidson County and after her marriage, moved to Jones Bend. Mary was supposedly somehow related to Andrew Jackson. Her father James had died in 1813 and since his Will does not mention his wife, it is assumed that she had preceded him in death. Mary's older sister, Sally, married Thomas' brother Michael Jr. in 1812. Michael was given land on White's Creek in his father's Will. Michael Jr. served as guardian for Mary and her brother James until both came of age. Early Middle Tennessee Marriages There are a number of court entries dealing with James Dean's estate that mention Polly Dean. These are detailed in the section of this chapter dealing with Michael Gleaves Jr. The only significant entry to mention both Thomas and Polly occurred on February 18, 1818. This entry confirms Thomas' marriage to Polly. The entry appears to have referenced a lottery for the remaining assets of the estate that were due to Polly and her brother James. "Division of the personal estate of James Dean, deceased. Four small slaves valued at $2,400 and Lot No. 1 which includes two negroes valued at $120.00 was drawn by James Dean the minor son of the deceased. And Lot No. 2 which includes Alexander and Jim valued at $1,200.00 was drawn by Thomas GLEAVES and Polly his wife who is the daughter of the deceased. December 13, 1817". James still appears to be a minor at this time. One additional entry in June of 1819 transfers his portion of the estate to him. Davidson County, Tennessee Will Book Thomas and Mary had at least four children, although this author has only been able to identify two of them. Additional information on these children is found in Chapter 9. Thomas died intestate at his residence in Davidson County on February 16, 1831. It is reported that he died suddenly of "apolexy" (paralysis due to a stroke). Will Book 10, page 166 He appears to have been a fairly prominent man for his time since his obituary appeared in several area papers including the Nashville Banner & Nashville Daily Advertiser and Nashville Republican & State Gazette. Both papers identified him as "Captain Thomas GLEAVES". This author does not have a copy of this obituary so cannot give any other details. The papers disagreed on his age at the time of his death with one reporting 37 and the other 38. If either case were true, his date of birth would be later (early 1790s) than that reported in the Turner manuscript. Obituaries from Early Tennessee Newspapers 1794-1851 After the death of Thomas, Mary remarried. On March 28, 1834, in Rutherford County, Tennessee, she wed a man named John Fletcher. Little is known of her life after this event. She is reported to have died in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, although no date is given. Early Middle Tennessee Marriages 2) John Gleaves Before 1791 - 1822 "John GLAVES" was the second son mentioned in his father's will and was given "six hundred and forty acres of land lying in Wilson County on the waters of Cedar Lick Creek". The codicil directed that he was to receive "a small girl 5 yrs old Celia, by name after my wifes death". John was also to receive any children born to Celia. John died before his mother, so most likely did not ever take possession of Celia. Additionally, the codicil gave John his father's blacksmith tools. Mary Sarah "Polly" Robinson Shortly after the death of his father, John married Mary "Polly" Robinson. The marriage license was issued on June 25, 1812 in Davidson County, Tennessee. This author has found no information regarding Polly's date of birth or her family. Early Middle Tennessee Marriages That same year John is listed on the tax rolls of Captain Cloyd's Militia Company. John is the only family member in this company, although several others appear in a different company. Pioneers of Davidson County It is not known when John and Polly settled on the land given him by his father. At least one court entry relating to John exists during his lifetime where he appears to sell some of the land he inherited. "John GLEAVES to Samuel Davis 133 acres on Cedar Lick Creek. 22 July, 1820". Wilson County Deed Book H, page 253 The Gleaves Branch The following portion of a historical sketch of the Mt. Juliet area of Wilson County, Tennessee mentions John in connection with a tributary of Cedar Lick, known as Gleaves Branch. This sketch provides a wealth of information on John, Polly and their family. "However the Gleaves Branch was likely named much earlier. In 1822 John Gleaves who married Mary "Polly" Robinson June 28, 1812 in Davidson County, left a will in Wilson County, naming his wife and five minor children - sons William and John (subsequent documents say John T.) and daughters Sally, Caroline and Malvinia. He mentions land adjoining Samuel Davis (new Lowe's) and in a deed this is described as land "granted to Michael Gleaves on the Waters of Cedar Lick Creek." Michael Gleaves was John Gleaves' father. When early deeds say "on the waters of" a creek, this could be the remotest part of any small branch of said creek. As Gleaves Branch has its origin in the area mentioned in the deeds, it was probably named for these early Gleaves families." West Wilson Neighbors John and his wife had at least five children who have been documented. All five children are mentioned in John's will. Additional information on these children is found in Chapter 9. John died in 1822 and left a will that was filed with Wilson County on December 22, 1822. The abstract of the will provides few specifics as to how his possessions were to be distributed. It does mention that he expected to receive property from his mother's estate upon her death. The will names his wife, Mary as the executrix and if she remarried then his brother William was to assume that role. Wilson County Wills Polly & Mary S. One of the unanswered questions regarding the John Gleaves family is if he was married twice. His marriage to Mary "Polly" Robinson in 1812 is documented in Davidson County records. His will was filed in Wilson County on December 22, 1822. The will lists his heirs, which included "wife Mary S. GLEAVES". This document and subsequent entries dealing with the John's wife at the time of his death always list her as "Mary S." not Polly. All these entries appear to reference the same person but it is impossible to determine with certainty that John did not marry a second wife during the last years of his life. There are no known marriage records to indicate that John had more than one wife. Mary appears in Wilson County records on December 8, 1823 when she sold a portion of the land owned by her former husband. "Mary S. GLEAVES, executrix of John Gleaves deceased to Albert Perry 82 acres on Cedar Lick Creek". Wilson County Deed Book K page 1 Mary's Marriage to Cyrus Stewart Sometime in August of 1826, Mary remarried. The license was issued on August 8th and lists the groom as Cyrus "Stuart". Subsequent entries make it clear that his surname was "Stewart". Early Middle Tennessee Marriages By early 1828, Cyrus appears in court records as the "guardian of the minor heirs of John GLEEVES". Again in July of 1830, Cyrus is recorded serving in the same role. A portion of the estate is listed as passing to Mary. "One sixth part is retained as belonging to my wife, Sarah GLEEVES". In 1832, two additional entries pass a share of the estate to John's children, although in these last two abstracts, Cyrus Stewart is not mentioned by name. We do know that Cyrus was still alive in 1841 when the will of one of John Gleaves' sons, William, mentions him. There is no mention of Mary at this time and she may have already died. Wilson County Wills 3) William D. Gleaves 1795 -July 29, 1840 "William GLAVES" was the third child mentioned in Michael Glaves Sr's. will. He was also named the Executor of his father's estate. He received "six hundred and forty acres of land lying in Wilson County on Spencer's Creek". William is the only child not mentioned in the codicil to the original will. The J. Miller Turner manuscript states that his grandfather, William Gleaves, was born in 1795, in Tennessee. A short biographical sketch of J. Miller's brother, John Turner, provides conflicting information on both the date and location. "William Gleaves, Mr. Turner's maternal grandfather, was a Virginian, and settled in Davidson County when Tennessee was a part of North Carolina". This would mean William was born before 1787. Goodspeed's History of Crockett County, Tennessee The earliest records pertaining to William deal with his administration of his father's estate. On August 12, 1812 a "List of notes due unto Michael GLAVES, deceased, when he died in the year 1812" was entered by William. The list contained 33 names. William submitted a second, shorter list in 1815, with both he and his father's surname spelled with the extra "E". On May 16, 1816, the estate of "Michael GLEAVES" was settled. The executors, including William, reported to the Court that there was "found in the hands of the executors" a total of $1863.60 and 1/2 cents. Davidson County Will Books The Marriages of William Gleaves Records show that William was married at least twice in his lifetime. In September of 1808, he married Anne Nelson. Little is known about her early life or her family. Some researchers refer to a family bible that may contain additional information about her, although this author has no knowledge of its contents. William and Anne had at least three children born into the marriage that are detailed further in Chapter 9. Anne Nelson appears to have died between June 5, 1813, when her third child was born and August of 1814, when William married for a second time. A marriage license issued in Wilson County on August 22, 1814 bears the names "Polly Wilson and William GLEEVES". Early Middle Tennessee Marriages This author knows little about the life of Mary 'Polly" Wilson. In 1812 and 1813 "William GLAVES" appears as a buyer at the estate of a man named James Wilson, although no connection to Polly can be made. To date, no children of this marriage have been identified. A series of land entries in Wilson County, Tennessee further identify William with his inheritance on Spencer's Creek. On January 14, 1814 he sold some of the property, "William GLEAVES to William F. Harris 150 acres on Spencer's Creek". Three years later, a second transaction also reduced his holdings; "William GLEAVES to James Wright, 65 acres on Spencer's Creek, 28 July 1817". A third entry on October 10, 1819, shows him acquiring additional acreage, "Robert Neil to William GLEEVES, 248 acres on Spencer's Creek". Wilson County Deeds Books E, F & H There is some conflicting information about William's later years. Several family researchers report that his will was written April 8, 1840 in Davidson County and proved in court during May, of 1840. A conflicting date of death is July 29, 1840. This second date appears in an obituary printed in the Nashville Whig on September 30, 1840. A brief abstract of the obituary of "William D. GLEAVES" states that he died in Franklin, Robertson County, Texas. The report goes on to identify him as: "Youngest son of the late Michael Gleaves, Esq.". This author has not seen the term used in conjunction with Michael Sr. Obituaries from Early Tennessee Newspapers 1794-1851 A second publication lists three separate wills probated during this timeframe for individuals identified as "William Gleaves". An 1840 entry for "William GLEAVES" is listed as being filed in Davidson County (wb 12, page 15). Two others, "William D. GLEAVES", filed in Davidson County (wb 12, page 124) and "William P. GLEAVES", filed in Wilson County (wb 1, page 134) were both entered in 1841. This author is not clear as to which entry pertains to this William Gleaves. Index of Early Tennessee Wills and Administrations 4) Matthew Gleaves 1793 - About 1835 "Matthew GLAVES" was the fourth child mentioned in Michael Glaves' will. He was given "all the lands I have on the Duck River in the counties of Maury and Bedford." Michael also directed Matthew to receive one of his slaves, "I give a negro girl named Jenna to my son Matthew GLAVES". Matthew's brothers were all directed to give their sister, Isabella $200 each, presumably to compensate her for not receiving any of the family lands. For some reason, Matthew had no such requirement. Matthew is not mentioned in his father's codicil. "Matthew GLEAVES" first appears in Davidson County court records in 1805 in connection with the death of his cousin by the same name. The son of his Uncle William Gleaves of Wythe County Virginia, this Matthew came to the County about 1800. The will confirms the relationship when the deceased directs lands he owned in Kentucky to be sold and the proceeds divided among his parents and siblings. "I Allow my Cousin Matthew GLEAVES twenty Dollars out of the Price of it". If Mr. Turner were correct on the date of Matthew's birth he would have been about twelve years old when his cousin died. The will also mentions a woman named Betsy Smith although no relationship if any, is referenced, "I also allow Betsy Smith Ten Dollars out of the Price of my Big Steer paid by Thomas GLEAVES". It appears that this woman would become Matthew's wife four years later. The text of the will appears in Chapter 3 in the section dealing with "Cousin Matthew". Davidson County Will Book 3, page 4 Elizabeth "Betsy" Smith About 1790 - 1851 Davidson County marriage records show a "Matthew GLEAVES" and a "Betsy Smith" applied for a marriage license on August 19, 1809. Again, if Mr. Turner were correct about Matthew's date of birth, he would have been about 16 at the time. Little is known about Betsy or her family. There is evidence to suggest that she may have been in the area before 1800. Census records list her as being born about 1790. A Will written on January 10, 1822 by a man named Ezekiel Smith offers some interesting possibilities to consider. The Will was contested by a son from the family of his second wife and is somewhat confusing although several facts are clear. Ezekiel willed land to his "sons" with each being mentioned by name"...on White's Creek...within the boundary of Stull's run off". The will goes on to mention several women by their married names but does not identify which, if any, are daughters. One mentioned is "Elizabeth GLEAVES". Davidson County Will Book This author believes that Elizabeth Gleaves mentioned here is Betsy Smith Gleaves, the wife of Matthew. Matthew's father owned land on White's Creek that was left to his brother Michael Jr. Michael Sr. had dealings with several members of the Stull family and purchased land from Zachariah Stull. The connection is further strengthened by the name given to Matthew and Betsy's oldest son, Ezekiel Smith Gleaves. On March 13, 1797, Matthew's cousin Thomas GLEAVES, son of William, married a woman named Sally Smith, who is also mentioned in cousin Matthew's will. There is a good possibility that the two women were sisters. No proof, just a theory. It is unclear if Matthew moved to the land given to him by his father's estate. He is listed on the tax rolls of Maury County in 1811 and 1816. There is no definite information to confirm Matthew's whereabouts after these two tax entries until 1830. He is not listed in the 1820 Census of Tennessee. He may have moved away and returned to Davidson County, no proof of this has been found. Early Tennessee Tax Lists A "Matthew GLEAVES" appears in court records on January 24, 1827 when he, Matthew's cousins Thomas and Absalom, and nephew Thomas Jr. were all part of a jury that decided a case concerning dower rights for a widow named Penelope Overton. It is quite possible that the Matthew mentioned here is not the subject of this sketch since a yet unidentified "Matthew" appears in Davidson County and whose will was probated in 1842. This is most likely one of two unidentified sons of Matthew's oldest brother, Thomas. Davidson County Will Book Matthew and Betsy had at least five children that have been identified and very likely several more. These children are detailed in Chapter 9. Records indicate that Matthew and Betsy moved southwest and raised their family in Dickson County, Tennessee. Dickson County adjoins Maury County where Matthew inherited land on the Duck River. This same river flows through Dickson County. The 1830 Census of Tennessee lists a "Matthew GLEAVES" as living in Dickson County. Dickson County records also list a will for a "Matthew GLEAVES" probated in 1835. The 1840 Census for that county includes a "Elizabeth GLEAVES" as the head of a household living with two young boys, ages 5-10 and 16-20. The older boy appears to be her son Ezekiel Smith Gleaves, probably named for her father as discussed earlier. The 1850 census shows her living in the same county with Ezekiel. She is listed as being 60 years old at the time. Index of Early Tennessee Wills and Administrations The will of "Elizabeth GLEAVES" was signed on January 28, 1851 and probated in Dickson County in July of that same year. The will does not reference any land but does bequeath slaves to a son and daughter. Three other daughters are mentioned although all three appear to have preceded her in death. At least one grandson is mentioned by name. Elizabeth does not appear to have known how to write, since the will is reported to have been signed with her mark, an "X". Dickson County, Tennessee Will Book A, page 224 5) Michael Gleaves Jr. Before 1791 - January 24, 1834 "Michael GLAVES Jr." was the fifth child to be mentioned in Michael Glaves' will. He was given "340 acres of land in Davidson County on White's Creek and an additional 100 acres adjoining Zachiriah Stull's land also in Davidson County". The codicil also gave him a slave named Jack. "Michael GLEAVES" is listed as a member of Captain Creel's Militia Company in 1812. Also listed on the rolls are his cousin "Absalom GLEAVES", and a "Thomas GLEAVES" (unclear if this is his brother or cousin). All three are privates. Of note, another private listed; Andrew Jackson, the future president. Pioneers of Davidson County Sally Dean In 1812, shortly after his father's death, Michael married Sally Dean. The license was issued in Davidson County on November 2, 1812. Sally was the daughter of James and Mary (Dickinson) Dean. She was raised on White's Creek in Davidson County. No information regarding Sally's date of birth has been found to date. Given the marriage date, it is fairly certain that Sally was born before 1800. Guardianship entries listed later in this section place her birth between 1797-1799, which would have made her no more than 15 years old when she married Michael. Sally's younger sister, Mary Dean, born in 1801, married Michael's brother Thomas five years later in 1817. Early Middle Tennessee Marriages Michael and Sally appear in Davidson County records on several occasions primarily involved in the affairs of her late father's estate. James Dean died in 1813 and since his will does not mention his wife, it is assumed that she had preceded him in death. A somewhat confusing entry dated August 14, 1813 grants to Michael one third of the estate of his wife's father. "By order of the court...to lot and set of(f) Michael GLEAVES the one third by intermarriage to Sally Dean one of the heirs of James Dean, deceased of the personal part up to January 1813 which third part we find to be $1,780.71, three negroes, Hager, Charlotte and Alford, which includes the said GLAVES one third of the negroes and money in the hands of Francis McKay guardian to Sally Dean, James and Polly Dean. Negroes Peter, Mingo and Hager to Michael GLAVES also Alexander, James, Charlotte, alfred, all valued at $2,025.00 and cash on hand $3,317.13. Total $5,3423.13." This entry makes it clear that Sally was still less than 18 years of age at this time since Francis McKay is named as her guardian. A second entry on February 22, 1815 shows Francis McKay is still the guardian for all three children. "Sally Gleaves, James and Polly Dean orphans of James Dean, deceased, returned unto January term 1815 by Francis McKay, guardian. Merchandise furnished said orphans. Paid Alexander Reid for boarding and teaching James, also for boarding and teaching Polly for three months. Paid Mrs. Bradshaw for boarding and teaching Polly for three months. Paid John Criddle for a saddle and bridle for polly. Paid Michael GLEAVES for Sally his wife one third part of the money of said estate. Balance due James and Polly Dean $2,286.29." By February 19, 1817, Michael has been named guardian of James and Polly Dean. On that date, monies are paid to several individuals for boarding James during the year 1815 and others included "Thomas Dickinson (their mother's maiden name) for one bed for Polly" and "Thomas B. Craighead for teaching James". Several additional entries are listed on February 18, 1818. Both entries confirm Michael's brother Thomas' marriage to Polly Dean. The second entry appears to have referenced a lottery for the remaining assets of the estate that were due to James and Polly. "Division of the personal estate of James Dean, deceased. Four small slaves valued at $2,400 and Lot No. 1 which includes two negroes valued at $120.00 was drawn by James Dean the minor son of the deceased. And Lot No. 2 which includes Alexander and Jim valued at $1,200.00 was drawn by Thomas GLEAVES and Polly his wife who is the daughter of the deceased. December 13, 1817". James still appears to be a minor at this time. One additional entry in June of 1819 transfers his portion of the estate to him. All above referenced entries: Davidson County, Tennessee Will Books Michael is not listed in the 1820 Census of Tennessee, although ten years later he is listed as living in Davidson County. "Michael GLEAVES" appears in court records again on September 10, 1828 when he is named as one of several Commissioners in a matter of widow's support "to set apart and lay off to Judy Earthman, widow and relict of Lewis Earthman, deceased, several items". Davidson County, Tennessee Will Books Michael and Sally had at least three children born to this marriage. Little is known about Michael's occupation, although an obituary of Martha Caroline GLEAVES, published in the National Banner and Nashville Whig dated June 25, 1828, list her as "Infant daughter of Michael Gleaves, Esq." a title usually associated with lawyers. Michael died in Davidson County on January 24, 1834 leaving a will (Will Book 10, page 395). His obituary was published in the National Banner & Nashville Daily Advertiser. This author does not possess copies of any of these documents. Obituaries from Early Tennessee Newspapers 1794-1851 6) Isabella Gleaves About 1800 - June 24, 1857 "Isabella GLAVES" is the only daughter listed in Michael Glaves' Will. Her exact birthdate is not known but given that she married in 1817, it is assumed to be 1800 or earlier. Unlike her brothers, she did not inherit any land. Her inheritance was limited a horse and a slave, "Item 7th, I give and bequeath to my daughter, Isabella GLAVES, the gray Diomede Filly and a negro girl named Priscilla". She also was to receive money from four of her five brothers, "Item 8th, my sons, John, Michael, Thomas, and William, to pay my daughter, Isabella GLAVES, each $200 when her mother may think she should have it". For some unexplained reason her brother Matthew was not required to make a similar payment. Nathaniel Cartmell Before 1800 - November 11, 1863 Isabella GLEAVES married Nathaniel Cartmell on September 18, 1817 in Davidson County, Tennessee. Nathaniel was born in Fredrick County, Virginia sometime before 1800 to Solomon and Elizabeth (Reiff) Cartmell. One source contained in the International Genealogical Index (IGI). Places his date of birth as 1795. Nathaniel Cartmell Bible "Solomon Cartmell, son of Nathaniel, 2d, was one of the sons who remained in Virginia, and settled near his old Homespun home. As previously stated, he married Elizabeth Raife (Ralph) Jany. 26, I792. Solomon died, leaving widow- and five children, just prior to 1804. His widow married James Leach, March 5, 1805. The children of Solomon were: Nathan, Nathaniel, Martin, Henry R., and Mary-all being minors. Their Orphans Accounts were settled in the courts of Frederick County, 1816 and 1819. Their mother we will not undertake to follow further, except to state that the second marriage was not agreeable to the children. The sons at an early age forsook mother and home, and for something better, sought homes in Tennessee. We find Nathaniel and Nathan in Wilson County, Tenn., in 1816, and Martin in same State in 1819, when their guardian settled with the Court. Henry R. wandered off to the wilds of Texas before she ran up the Lone Star. Mary remained with her uncles in Frederick County. We will now endeavor to trace these five children through one generation. Nathaniel married Isabella Gleaves, and lived at Lebanon, Tenn., until his death about 1880, having acquired a fortune. A son, William M., became somewhat prominent, by a large bequest made by him to the Vanderbilt University. He has been dead many years. The other children were James, Thomas, Mary, Rachael, Sophia and Eliza." Shenandoah Valley Pioneers and Their Descendants Nathaniel and Isabella settled in Wilson County where they raised their family. His bible provides extensive documentation of their eight children who are profiled further in Chapter 9. Before her death on June 24, 1857, Isabella was preceded in death by six of her eight children: five daughters and one son. All the children died between the ages of 16-27. Nathaniel lived an additional six years passing away on November 11, 1863. Nathaniel Cartmell Bible This author believes that additional documentation on Nathaniel and Isabella exists, although I have no firsthand knowledge of any. 7) Elizabeth Gleaves Before 1786 - After 1826 Elizabeth is the only one of the children that is not mentioned in Michael Glaves' will. She is identified through the codicil attached to the original document. It is clear that she was treated less generously than the other children were. It is not known if Michael had a falling out with his daughter or possibly, he had provided for her and her family previously. She was to receive "$200, in cash to be held in hands of my executors to be paid to her for her benefit and her children, and if she should die before she receives it, my executors are bound to let her children have $200 when they are in want". This was the only portion of the estate in which she was to have an interest. All monies collected from debts and the sale of personal assets of the estate were to be divided among the children "except Elizabeth Turner". The earliest record of Elizabeth is her marriage to Arthur Turner, which occurred in late 1800 or early 1801. The marriage license was issued in Davidson County, Tennessee on December 29, 1800. Given the date of the marriage, it appears that Elizabeth was the oldest of the siblings. As discussed earlier, she may have been a child from a previous marriage. Early Middle Tennessee Marriages Little is known about Arthur other than some information contained in a biographical sketch done years later on his grandson. "Arthur Turner, father of M. G. Turner, came from Halifax, N. C.; married a Miss Gleaves near Nashville; volunteered and accompanied Gen. Jackson to New Orleans and was killed during the defense January, 1815." History of Cheatham County, Tennessee There is a report of five children being born to Arthur and Elizabeth. Only two children have been identified by name, "Rachel Turner" is mentioned in Michael Glaves' will. The will was written in 1811, which would establish her date of birth between 1801-11. The codicil establishes the relationship between Michael and Rachel, "A little yellow slave named Cynthia I give to my granddaughter, Rachel Turner". A second child, Michael Gleaves Turner is identified in the sketch referenced in the previous paragraph. Elizabeth Turner vs. Isaac Pierce The widow, Elizabeth Turner married for a second time on July 18, 1822. The groom was a widower named Isaac Pierce. The marriage would prove to be short lived. Early Middle Tennessee Marriages On November 2, 1826, in Sumner County, Isaac petitioned the Tennessee State Legislature to dissolve the marriage. An extract of that petition, complete with spelling errors, is contained here. "Isaac Peairs was married in 1822 to Elzabeth. Isaac was then about 54 years old, having 13 children. Elizabeth was the widow of Arthur Tinnon, with 5 children. Isaac and Elizabeth separated for nearly two years and then went back together and have been together 12 or 18 months. Isaac has made a provision for Elizabeth that she and her brother, Thomas Gleaves, Jr., have accepted. Isaac and Elizabeth cannot get along, and want a divorce." Tennessee Divorces 1797 - 1858 Divorce was a rarity during the first half of the 19th century with less than 750 granted in the state of Tennessee from 1797-1858. It appears that Isaac's petition was granted later that same year. A second, undated entry reads; "Isaac Pearce and his wife Elizabeth Pearce, have separated by mutual consent. They are to be divorced upon proof. Acts of Tennessee, 1826, p.134 Tennessee Divorces 1797 - 1858 We do not have any documented information regarding the date or location of Elizabeth's birth, although it is assumed to have occurred at Ft. Mansker. It is assumed that given the date of her marriage, she was born sometime before 1786. This author has not found records that would document Elizabeth's life after the divorce. This author does not know the date and location of her death. More About Michael & Rachel's Family The story of the Michael Gleaves Family continues later in this manuscript. Additional generations are chronicled in Chapter 9. Detailed maps of Kentucky, Tennessee and Missouri documenting areas settled by the descendants of Matthew Glaves Sr. appear in Chapter 12. 5 The Disappearing Daughters: Elizabeth and Esther Glaves The lives of two of Matthew and Esther's children have yet to be documented with any detail. This author has searched in vain for any additional information about these daughters. Elizabeth Glaves 1750s - After 1772 Elizabeth was the third child of Matthew and Esther Glaves. The only known record of Elizabeth GLAVE is the Turk vs. Raferty lawsuit, filed in 1771 which is described in detail in Chapter One. Elizabeth was still a minor at the time and her brother William served as her guardian. Some, including this author, are not totally convinced that Elizabeth ever existed. One theory is that the person mentioned in the court case was in fact, Elizabeth Turk Gleaves, wife of William. The only clue supporting this theory is the curious placement of the word "and" on either side of her name in the Bill of Chancery. "...Bill of Chancery ... whereby Thomas TURK and Mary his wife, William GLAVE and Elizabeth GLAVE, and Michael GLAVE, Esther GLAVE and Matthew GLAVE. Infants by William GLAVE their guardian." The second time the children are listed by name, the extra "and" does not appear. This theory is definitely a minority opinion. Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia There would have been little reason for Elizabeth to show up in any other court records at that time since her father did not appear to own any land which she could of inherited and marriage records in the 1770s were not normally recorded in Augusta County, Virginia. Various researchers have been unable to find any church records or family documents, such a bible, that provide any additional clues as to her life. Elizabeth could have married and be listed in numerous documents under her married name, but we have no way of knowing. A second possibility is that she died young. Death records were not common until about the middle of the 19th century There is a record of a "Betsy GLAVES", who married George Eller in Wythe County, Virginia in 1799. Elizabeth's brothers: William and Michael both moved to the Montgomery/Wythe County area in the 1770s and it conceivable that she moved there as well. It is possible that this is our elusive Elizabeth, although she would have been nearly 50 years old at the time of the marriage. Wythe County Marriages A much more plausible theory is that "Mrs. Eller" is in fact Elizabeth "Betsy" GLEAVES, the daughter of William, who would have been in her early twenties in 1799. If this is William's daughter, she married for a second time prior to her father's death in 1820. She is listed in his will as "Betsy Ramsey". Wythe County Marriages No additional evidence has been found to date. Esther Glaves Late 1750s - After 1772 Esther was probably the fifth of six children of Matthew and Esther Glaves. Esther appears in court documents only twice. The first time, in March of 1771 is when her brother, William is named her guardian. Esther is the only child listed in the record, although we know from Turk vs. Raferty that William served as Guardian to his four younger siblings. As described in Chapter One, she appears to be less than twelve years old at the time, which would mean she was born in 1759 or later. She appears for a second time with her siblings in the complaint filed in connection with the lawsuit, Turk vs. Raferty regarding disposition of her father's estate. Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia Esther's brother, William, names an "Esther Finley" who married Asa Finley in Wythe County, Virginia in 1809 in his will dated 1820. Some researchers, including this author, initially assumed incorrectly that this was Matthew and Esther Glaves' daughter raised by her brother. Esther's younger brother Matthew was apprenticed to John Finley, Asa's uncle. This coincidence led some to believe that both records pertained to the same person. Subsequent research into family records make it clear that this person was in fact, William's daughter, born in 1786. Nathan Allen Bible The same possibilities apply to Esther that apply to her sister Elizabeth: namely she married without record or died young. Both mysteries remain unsolved. 6 The Family of Matthew Glaves Jr. About 1758 - 1800 Mathew was the youngest son of Matthew and Esther Glaves. Like both his brothers, he too, blazed a trail to the new frontier. His life would be the shortest of the three brothers. The exact date and location of Matthew's birth are unknown, although in Chapter One we place it as the late-1750s. It is possible that Matthew was not born until 1760, although other records suggest a date of 1758 as most likely. We do know that the family was in the Crimora area of Augusta County, Virginia prior to 1760, so it is quite possible that he was born West of the Blue Ridge Mountains, in the Shenandoah Valley. Matthew is first identified while still a minor, in 1772 through the lawsuit Turk vs. Raferty, which is detailed in Chapter One. His brother William had previously been named his guardian although there does not appear to be any court record of this event. "...Bill of Chancery ... whereby Thomas TURK and Mary his wife, William GLAVE and Elizabeth GLAVE, and Michael GLAVE, Esther GLAVE and Matthew GLAVE. Infants by William GLAVE their guardian." His father had died about 1760 when he was very young. Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia Within a few years of his father's death, Matthew's mother Esther had remarried. This occurred on June 6, 1762 to a man named Thomas Rafferty. The marriage is recorded in Augusta County. It is assumed that Matthew lived, at least initially, with his mother and stepfather, although there is no documentation. Thomas and Esther Rafferty had moved further south to Washington County, Virginia by the early 1770s. They were among the earliest settlers of this area and the "Thomas Raferty family" is listed as being in the county previous to 1772. He is listed with other of heads of families in Rev. Charles Cummings' Congregation at Sinking Spring, a Presbyterian Church. Historical Sketches of the Campbell, Pilcher and Kindred Families It is not known if Matthew made the move with them or remained in Augusta County with the families of his older brother or sister. His brother William had married Elizabeth Turk in 1770 and his sister Mary married Thomas Turk four years earlier in 1766. Court documents contain no signatures of the children, which would clearly establish his being in Augusta County in 1772. Subsequent entries pertaining to Matthew make it likely that he remained in Augusta County with relatives. Apprenticeship to John Finley For the three years after the Turk vs. Raferty lawsuit, there is no record of Matthew. He is not mentioned in any document until 1775. In that year, a legal document identifying him was presented in the Augusta County Court. On January 24th, 1775, Matthew was apprenticed by his brother William to a man named John Finley. The apprenticeship was to learn the "Mystery of a wheel-Wright and Cooper". Wheelwrights made and repaired wagon wheels and a Cooper made barrels. The agreement was for a period of four years. Matthew would have been about 17 at the time and the apprenticeship may have been until he reached majority at 21. Although the document does not appear to have been recorded at the time it was signed, it was entered into the Augusta County Court records almost 20 years later, in connection with a lawsuit filed by Matthew detailed later in this chapter. Chronicles of Scotch-Irish Settlement of Virginia The following is a transcript of the Apprenticeship Agreement signed by Matthew and his brother on January 24, 1775. "This Indenture Wittnesseth that Matthew GLEAVES son to Matthew GLEAVES deceas'd of Augusta County and Colony of Virginia hath of his own Voluntary Consent and the Consent of his Guardian put and Bound himself apprentice unto John Finley wheelwright of the County and Colony afforesaid to learn his art trade or Mystery of a wheel-Wright and Cooper and after the Manner of an Apprentice to serve him from the Day and the Date hereof for and During ye full term of four years Next Ensuing During all which time he the said apprentice his said Master faithfully shall serve his secrets keep his lawfull commands every where Gladly obey he shall do no Damage to his said Master nor see it to be Done by others without giving notice thereof to his said Master he shall not waste his said Masters goods nor lend them unlawfully to others fornication he shall not committ Matrimony he shall not Contract at lands Dice or any other unlawfull game he shall not play whereby his said master may be damaged with his own goods or the goods of others he shall not buy nor sell without licence from his said master he shall not absent himself day nor night from his said Masters service without his leave nor haunt alehouses taverns or play houses but in all things behave himself as a faithfull apprentice ought to do During said term and the said master shall use the utmost of his Endeavours to teach or cause to be taught or instructed the said aprentice in the trade of Mystery he now professeth and procure or provide for him the said apprentice Sufficient meat Drink washing lodging and apparrel sufficient for an apprentice During said term and likewise at the Expiration of said term said Master is to provide for said aprentice a sett of tools fitt to carry on the business and for the true performance of every of the above articles we bind ourselves Each to the other by these presents in Wittness whereof we have interchangeably put our hands and seals this 24th Day of January 1775" Test John Davidson John Finley Robt Finley Matthew GLAVE Edward Hunter William GLEAVE This document has resided in the Augusta County Court House for more than 200 years and may be viewed by any researcher. The location of the document is drawer 449, where it is bundled with other loose papers filed with the court during the same time period. The text of this and other records may be found among Finley Family genealogical records on the Internet. http//libvax.sonoma.edu/fin/aaa-0215.html The 1775 Apprenticeship Agreement between Matthew Gleaves and John Finley. A transcript of the document appears on the previous page. We do know from this document that Matthew was still under the age of 21 in 1775, since his brother was still serving as his guardian. Boys reached majority at 21 and girls, three years earlier at 18 years of age. This would mean that the earliest Matthew could have been born would be 1754. Subsequent land records suggest that Matthew was probably about 17 years old at the time the document was signed. Papers associated with this apprenticeship appear to be one of the few references to Matthew where his surname is recorded as "GLEAVES", the same spelling as used by his brother William. Matthew appears to have signed the document as "GLAVE". Forgery or Just Good Penmanship? The document raises some interesting questions about who actually signed the apprenticeship. Both brothers' names appear in the lower right corner of the document. The spelling of the surnames is different, but both Matthew and William's signatures are similar and may have been signed by the same hand. William Gleaves was not living in Augusta County in 1775. Three years prior, he had moved, some 100 miles further south to the Cripple Creek Valley, in what would become Wythe County. We have established that at least one sister, Mary, was living in the area with her husband Thomas Turk Sr. In fact, it is conceivable that Matthew had been living with the Turk family prior to the apprenticeship. William may have been visiting his sister at the time the document was signed, although there are no other records to show that he ever returned to Augusta County. We do know that William Gleaves was aquatinted with the Finley family and probably knew John. Portions of the Finley clan also moved to the Wythe County area where William settled. Thirty years later, in 1806, William Gleaves' signature appears on a document giving his consent for his daughter Esther to marry Asa Finley, a nephew of John Finley. This signature appears in Chapter 3 of this manuscript. A comparison of the two signatures of William Gleaves shows that they bear little resemblance to each other. The question then arises: Is William's signature a forgery and if so, who signed for him? The likely culprit would appear to be Matthew himself. Boys have been known to forge parental signatures on report cards, why not guardian signatures on apprenticeships? Family researcher, Bonnie Snow has tried in vain to locate any other documents bearing the signature of Matthew Glaves. His Will was recorded in Pendleton County, Kentucky, but her search of court records there has failed to turn up the original document. If it was actually filed, it may have been lost over the last 200 years. Without a documented signature of Matthew Glaves to compare it to, we can't be certain that he actually signed the Apprenticeship either. Just one more case of needing more evidence to solve a family mystery. Augusta County Land Records Prior to 1810, the only form of census was the county tax rolls. By 1779, Matthew had completed his apprenticeship and acquired land in Augusta County. "Mathew GLAVES" appears in a court document titled; "Delinquents, Augusta County Levy for 1779". There is no record in this document of the extent of his land holdings. In many instances, citizens were listed as being delinquent, when in actuality they had just abandoned their land and moved westward. Next to Matthew's name is the notation "Rockingham". Rockingham County had been formed the previous year from the northern portion of Augusta County. The area settled by Matthew's father, Matthew Glaves Sr. would have been very near this county line. It appears that the tax assessor had assumed that Matthew's land was in the new county. Since we do not know the exact location of the property, we cannot be sure if this was a correct assumption. Chronicles of Scotch-Irish Settlement of Virginia This entry would mean that Matthew had arrived at the age of majority by 1779, which would make the year of his birth about 1758. To hold title to land a person had to be at least 21 years old. Prior to reaching this age, the land would have been listed as the property of the estate. During the period of the early 1780s, the details of Matthew Glaves' life are at best sketchy. If an individual was not listed as delinquent on the tax rolls or had a reason to appear in court, there was virtually no documentation of their existence. Other than those found in church records, very few marriages and births were recorded until the early 1800s. Matthew did appear several times in Augusta County court records between 1780 and 1785. The first two circumstantial entries appear on April 4th and 5th of 1780. In both instances, purchasers of land list the property as "adjoining GLAVES land between South Mountain and the South River". William and Michael Gleaves had already moved to Wythe County by this time, so the entries appear to pertain to Matthew. Abstract of Land Grant Surveys 1761-1791 This author believes that the South Mountain referred to in these reports has been renamed. The mountain by that name that appears on maps today, is located some fifty miles to the south. It appears that the mountain referenced in these entries is now known as "Turk Mountain", named after Robert Turk, the father of Matthew's brother in law, Thomas Turk. This would place Matthew Glaves' property near the Turk family lands across the South River, nearer the Blue Ridge Mountains. A number of deeds filed by Thomas Turk reference these same landmarks. Matthew and the American Revolution Most able-bodied men in Virginia were required to serve in the local militia units. Companies were built around areas of the county and served as the basis for the county tax rolls. "Mathew GLAVES" is listed as having served in the Revolutionary War (1775-1783) as a member of Captain Thomas Rankin's Company in the Virginia Militia (no dates are given for his service). The dates of service are most likely 1779-82 since we can document Matthew's participation in other militia units in subsequent years. The company was formed in Augusta County, Virginia. Matthew's brother in law, Thomas Turk Sr. was also a member of this company. There is no record of involvement of this unit in any military action during the war. Historical Register of Virginians in the Revolutionary War An Augusta County court entry in 1783 refers to our Matthew. On June 10th of that year, "Mat. GLAVES" is listed as one of the purchasers of items from the estate of John McDonough. No details of the purchase are listed. Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia Personal Property Tax Rolls By the early 1780s Virginia began collecting a tax on the personal property of its residents. The tax was levied on the personal holdings of individuals, namely horses, cattle and slaves. The tax still exists today on cars, boats, etc. and is one of the most contentious in the Commonwealth of Virginia. This author has not been able to locate any such records pertaining to Matthew for the period 1779-1782. "Matthew GLAVES" does appear in the Augusta County records for the years 1783-84 (In 1784 "Mathew" is spelled with one "T"). For both years, he is listed as a member of Captain Finley's Company. This is the same John Finley that he was indentured to during 1775-79. Both entries list him as owning 2 horses and 6 head of cattle. It does not appear that Matthew owned any slaves during this period. Neither entry provides a clue as to the location or extent of his land holdings. An exhaustive search has not turned up any Virginia tax records pertaining to Matthew for tax years 1785 or beyond. Virginia State Library Elizabeth "Betsy" Bell Before 1765 - About 1810 Although there is no definitive record, evidence suggests that during this period, Matthew married a woman named Elizabeth that appears to be Elizabeth Bell of Augusta County, Virginia. Without a marriage record, Elizabeth's maiden name cannot be proven beyond any doubt. A series of circumstantial details give this author a high degree of confidence that Elizabeth Bell is the mother of Matthew Glaves' children. Information pertaining to their children suggests that the marriage occurred between 1779 - 1783. Information obtained from Bell family genealogical records on the Internet list an Elizabeth Bell, born about the same time period as Matthew's wife. The records further document her married name as "GLAVES". No locations of her birth and death are given. She was one of 11 children born to Samuel Bell (About 1724-1800). Samuel was born in Ireland and was the son of William Bell. The "Stone Church" Bells William Bell (1685-1757) was one of the earliest settlers in the Beverly Manor Patent area. He and his wife Mary McGowin came to the New World with their children, settling in Augusta County, Virginia sometime before 1742. Most of the settlers in this part of the Valley were Scotch Irish Presbyterians who wasted little time in setting up their churches. In 1740, the Congregation of the Triple Forks of the Shenandoah, established two meetinghouses; Tinkling Spring and the Augusta Stone, both served by Reverend John Craig. The Virginia Colony, although somewhat tolerant of other religions, was an English Colony. All dissenting churches were called "meeting houses" while the word "church" applied only to the Church of England. There was at least one other Bell family living in the area so William's family identified themselves with the Presbyterian meetinghouse they attended. The "Stone Church Bells" attended the Augusta Stone Meeting House located just outside the Beverly Patent near the present day community of Ft. Defiance. The third of five children was a son, Samuel Bell. Samuel Bell was born in Ireland in 1724 and came to America with his parents. He married a woman named Jane Holmes about 1759 in Augusta County. Samuel and Jane had twelve children; the seventh was a daughter, Elizabeth. When Samuel Bell wrote his will in 1800, he mentioned his daughter, Elizabeth by her married name. "5TH Item... I give and bequeath unto my daughters Elizabeth GLAVES and Sarah Kerr sixty seven dollars each". The majority of the estate went to Elizabeth's mother and several of her brothers. There is no reference to the fact that Elizabeth would have been living in Pendleton County, Kentucky at the time. Samuel died in 1803 and his will was probated in May of that year. Augusta County, Virginia Will Book IX 1785 Land Deals During 1785 Matthew was involved in at least three transactions involving land. The first two appear in a Land Alienation Record Book on a page titled "A List of the alinations and Partitions that have taken Place in Augusta County for 1785". The 10th entry involves a tract of land that Matthew purchased from a man named William Foster. "Mathew GLEAVES" is listed as the person "To whom Alinated" (the buyer). The tract contained 250 acres and is reported to be the entire tract of land and not a subdivided portion of the property contained in the original tract. The total purchase price is not listed, rather the price is listed as "6 shillings and 6 pence per acre". A description of the tract was not included here so the exact location cannot be determined. There is no day or month recorded with this or any other of the transactions. The second entry, recorded some time later that year, lists "Matthew GLAVIS" as selling what appears to be the same 250 acres for exactly what he paid for it. The buyer was a man named Robert Porterfield. Again, no detail on the exact location, but the buyer's name does offer some antidotal evidence. Augusta County Land Records....pages 42 & 43 Robert Turk Lane is a short dirt road described in detail in Chapter 2. It runs through the family homestead given by Robert to his son, Thomas Turk Sr. Thomas' second wife was Matthew's older sister, Mary Gleaves. Located about one-quarter mile to the south is a second road, Porterfield Lane. It crosses a stream known as Porterfield Branch. This author suggests, without proof, that this is the property in question. It would appear that Matthew purchased land from William Foster, adjacent to his brother-in-law and for some reason sold it that same year. The third item dealing with property may provide a clue as to Matthew's motives here. Harrison County, Virginia The most curious land transaction occurred this same year. On July 20th, 1785, The Commonwealth of Virginia granted "Matthew GLAVE" 400 acres of land in Harrison County, Virginia. Harrison County is in present day West Virginia. It appears that Matthew had purchased or otherwise obtained a Revolutionary War Bounty Warrant (# 15,239) originally issued to a Michael Ryan and redeemed it for an Exchange Treasury Warrant (#188). The bounty warrant had changed hands several times and it appears he acquired it from a man named Samuel McCaw. He used Treasury Warrant to acquire land from the Commonwealth. Bounty Warrants were used to compensate individuals who provided service to the New Nation during the war. Many recipients simply sold them to others looking to acquire cheap land. The document was signed by then Governor Patrick Henry. The digital copy of the document may be viewed at the Virginia Library site, http//image.vtls.com/. The Library of Virginia Land Records This author cannot provide a definitive rationale for Matthew's land dealings during this period. It would appear that a decision made after he purchased land from William Foster necessitated the sale to Roger Porterfield. If Matthew decided to migrate further westward, the purchase of the bounty grant in Harrison County may have been his intended destination. There is no documentation to prove that he settled, even briefly, on this land. If he ever was physically present on the property, he may have decided it was not suitable for his needs and simply kept on moving to Kentucky. We do know that several individuals from Augusta County, Virginia moved to the Pendleton County, Kentucky area about the same time. Elizabeth's brother, George Bell was certainly there prior to 1800 and a man named Elijah McClanahan also made the move. McClanahan appears to have been a friend of Matthew's and the two are mentioned together in several entries in Pendleton County. Elijah McClanahan would be the man credited with saving the life of Matthew's son Michael during the War of 1812. As reported earlier, Matthew does not appear on the 1785 Personal Property Tax Rolls in Augusta County, Virginia and probably had left the area before 1786. There are no entries found thusfar pertaining to Matthew during the year 1786. His whereabouts during this period remain a mystery. It would be more than a year until Matthew again appears in any historical record. We do know that by 1787 he had left Virginia and settled lands in present day Kentucky. It appears that our Matthew had developed a yearning to become part of the westward migration to seek his fortune. The Kentucky Territories "The real history of Kentucky may be said to begin with the expedition of Dr. Thomas Walker in 1750. Commissioned by the Loyal Land Company, which had been given 800,000 acres to the west to settle by the Crown, he and five companions explored the area but found the land to be inhospitable. They returned disheartened having seen only the mountainous regions and not having penetrated to the Bluegrass Region. A second more successful expedition was undertaken by Christopher Gist at about the same time on behalf of the Ohio Company. He was able to penetrate the mountainous regions of eastern Kentucky and explore the wide rolling plains of the Bluegrass Region in the central part of state. His reports inflamed the desire for westward movement by his employers. However the French and Indian War put an end to any further activity by the Company. On November 5, 1768 the Shawnee Indians granted lands including Pendleton County, to King George III of England for the sum of 10,460 Pounds. By the acquisition of this territory, a large portion of Kentucky could now be opened up for settlement. Still by 1775, the total population of the Kentucky territory was less than 300 men. Kentucky County, Virginia was created in 1776, but the Revolutionary War once again delayed settlement of Kentucky. It was not until 1779, when the Virginia Legislature enacted the Land Law, authorizing individuals to appropriate land in Kentucky, that any meaningful settlement took place". Excerpts from: Pendleton County..The First 200 Years We do know that sometime between 1785 and1787 Matthew moved to the central region of the Kentucky territory in the vicinity of the present day city of Lexington. The reason for the move is unknown. The area, part of the Bluegrass Region, has rolling hills and valleys with rich bottomland for farming. The earliest pioneers settled there in 1776 and raised tobacco, corn and hay. Matthew first appears on a personal property tax roll for Fayette County, Virginia, in 1787 (the state of Kentucky was not created until 1792). That tax census shows Matthew GLAVE owning five horses and five cattle. The survey did not count dependents other than males over 21, so we cannot prove he had married Elizabeth before this date. This tax roll also lists another man as living with Matthew and his family. The entry for Samuel Givens lists "Matthew GLAVE" under the column titled "Head of Household". This author has not found any other references to this individual where he is directly associated to Matthew. The 1787 Census of Virginia Until 1785, Fayette County encompassed nearly a third of the state of Kentucky. That year, Bourbon County was formed including what is now Pendleton County (Pendleton County was not formed until 1798). There is no information to pinpoint where in the vast expanse of Fayette County, Matthew was living in 1787, although it was definitely not in what became Pendleton County. Several years earlier, on March 13, 1783, Matthew's oldest brother, William, recorded a deed for 562 acres in Fayette County, Virginia. Under the column naming the watercourse where the property was located, is entered the word "none". We do not know how William acquired the land but he may have patented unclaimed land. Virginia had opened the area to settlers in 1779 with the passage of "The Land Law", which allowed individuals to claim free land. This event is described in more detail in Chapter 3. It is possible that this was the land where Matthew originally settled prior to 1787. Old Kentucky Entries and Deeds By 1791, Matthew had moved. "Matthew GLAVES" appears on the tax rolls of Bourbon County, Virginia. At this time, Bourbon County still comprised an area that would later become Pendleton County. This entry does not provide enough information to positively connect Matthew with the Falmouth area of Pendleton County. This author has no other information from this source. Kentucky Census Data before 1810 Glaves Vs. Finley Sometime during the summer of 1793, Matthew filed a lawsuit to right a perceived wrong that had lingered for more than fourteen years. That year, a suit was filed in Augusta County, Virginia claiming that John Finley had not lived up to his part of the bargain during Matthew's apprenticeship to him (1775-1779). "the said plaintiff in fact saith that the Deft (Defendant) did not teach or cause him to be taught in the period afoesaid the arts of the Wheelright or Cooper nor did he at the expiration of the four years above mentioned furnish him with a set of tools suitable for each trade according to the form and effect of his agreement in his behalf made therefore the plaintiff says that the defendant altho often requested his agreement aforesaid in form afoesaid made to the Deft did not perform but broke & the same to him hitherto to perform the Deft hath refused & still doth refuse wherefore he saith he is prejudiced & hath damage to the value of two hundred pounds & therefore he brings suit". The text of this document also appears online at the Finley Family site referenced earlier in this chapter. August County Court Records Drawer 449 Although there are no reports of Matthew's whereabouts during 1793, it does not appear that Matthew actually returned to Virginia to file the suit. The documents were signed by his attorney, Archibald Steward. The case was heard during the March Court Session in 1794 and accounts appear in published abstracts. The package of materials in the Augusta Court house includes several summons and other assorted documents. There is no published record of when, or how the case was decided. A single, undated and unsigned slip of paper included in the package appears to reveal the details of the outcome. Matthew appears to have won his case but the judgement was not for the 200 pounds he was seeking. The scrap of paper detailing the outcome suggests that he was awarded the sum of five pounds. Additionally, court costs spanning a period of two years were also assessed against John Finley; these totaled 3 pounds and 6 pence. There is no record showing if John Finley ever made good on this debt, although no further actions by Matthew appear in Augusta Court records. August County Court Records Drawer 449 This single piece of paper shows the settlement of Glaves Vs. Finley. Expenses assessed against John Finley included attorney fees, serving of summons, and fees charged by the court clerk. Pendleton County Pioneer It is not until 1794 that we can positively place Matthew Glaves in Pendleton County. It is possible that he was in the area by 1791, although the following account leads this author to believe the 1794 date. A lawsuit over property boundaries, Jacob Robinson vs Hiram Critchfield provides additional information. A man named Daniel McClain gave a deposition in Lewis County, Missouri, on March 2, 1840. Excerpts from the deposition are included here. "I moved into Pendleton County, Kentucky in the year 1794 to where Joel Robinson Sr. and Matthew Glaves Sr. lived......I was acquainted with old Mr. Joel Robinson and Matthew Glaves (both now deceased) and with the boundaries of their respective tracts of land upon which they lived in Pendleton County. Matthew Glaves came into the county in 1794, the last of March or the first of April, and Mr. Robinson came I think in 1795......I was present in the Spring of 1836 when Reuben McCarty cut a block out of a beech tree standing at or near the corner, the tree was marked M.G......Matthew Glaves died in the year 1800. He settled on the Moody Survey." Captain James Moody had been an officer in the Virginia Continental Line during the Revolutionary War and had received land in Kentucky through a Bounty Warrant. This must have whet his appetite for land acquisition, since he filed two additional Land Grants, one in 1786 and the other in 1791, for unclaimed land totaling 45,000 acres. Both Grants are described as being "On the waters of the south fork of the Licking". He appears to have made a fortune in land speculation, as he is listed as the seller in numerous land transactions in the 1790s. The Library of Virginia Land Records On May 6, 1794 "Matthew GLAVES" purchased a tract of land from Mr. Moody consisting of 500 acres listed as being in "Scott County". The county cited is probably an error since the Licking River does not run through Scott County. This author assumes the correct county to be Campbell. Matthew paid the sum of 150 pounds for the property. This appears to be the family land mentioned in Matthew's will. A portion of the description of the boundaries of the property is listed here. "Beginning at two beech trees and a dogwood at the mouth of Fork Lick Creek on the lower side running from thence down the South Fork (of the Licking River) binding thereon 280 poles when reduced to a straight line to two beech trees on the bank....to two sugar trees on the bank of Fork Lick Creek at Ewing's Corner thence down Fork Lick with the meanders so as to leave the Channel of the Creek to Ewing, to a Beech on Fork Lick (at) another of Ewing's Corners." This description places the land in the Southwest quadrant of Pendleton County near the town of Morgan. Campbell County Deed Books Trustee for the Town of Falmouth Kentucky had become a State in 1792 and in June, the initial session of the State Legislature issued a charter for a town to be located at the "Forks of the Licking River". The site was laid out in 1794 and on July 22nd of that year, "Mathew GLAVES" was appointed one of the original Trustees for the proposed town of Falmouth, which was then part of Campbell County. The town was to be laid out where the Licking River splits into two branches. The River is a navigable stream that would serve as an avenue of commerce with other towns, including Cincinnati, some 50 miles to the north. The principal founder, John Waller, was from Stafford County, Virginia and named the town after his birthplace, Falmouth, Virginia. History of Kentucky On July 22, 1795, Matthew and the other Trustees set up the sale of lots at a public auction in the town. The tax rolls for the same year show Matthew owning two lots in town, one slave, three horses and eleven cattle. During this period, Matthew's name appears frequently in court records primarily due to his role as a Trustee. Campbell County, Kentucky Tax List 1795 In October of 1795, Matthew and several others were appointed to; "view and mark out the nearest and best way from the ford at Crooked Creek to where it will strik the first waters of Grassy Creek on a Direction to the ford on Raven Creek and Make report to Court of the Convenience & inconvenience of said road". Matthew and two others made their report the following month. "In submission to the Court of Campbell County according to the order we have reviewed the Road from Crooked Creek to Grassy Creek & we find that there can be a sufficient Wagon road without much difficulty". Campbell County, Kentucky Court Order Book A On September 5, 1796 a report was filed with the Court dealing with a mill proposed to be built by Matthew's neighbor, John Ewing. Since Waterways were an important avenue for commerce, individuals needed permission before they were allowed to do anything that would change or impede a watercourse. It appears that a dam associated with the proposed mill flooded some land owned by Matthew. "The Jurors find that the land that will be overflowed by the Mill are the property of Matthew GLAVES and that (they) are worth 20/ (shillings?) pr Acre & that the navigation or passage of fish will not be affected thereby". Campbell County Kentucky Court Order Book A page 59 By April 12, 1798, Matthew had resigned as a Trustee for the Town of Falmouth and had been replaced. No reason for the resignation is given; it may have been only a four-year appointment. Pendleton County was formed in this same year and it is possible that the Act of the State Legislature that created the County named new trustees. History of Kentucky Pendleton County Militia Matthew was probably involved in the local county militia during the time he lived in Pendleton County, although little documentation exists. The only record pertains to an event shortly after he resigned from the Falmouth Board of Trustees. On October 8, 1798, "MATTHEW GLAVE" was commissioned by the State as a Captain in the 21st Regiment of the Kentucky Militia. This was the Pendleton County Infantry Regiment. He most likely had held a lower officer's rank before that date, but no such record has been located. On that same date, his friend Elijah McClanahan was promoted to the rank of Ensign. Some ten years later, Matthew's son Michael would be promoted to the rank of Captain in this same regiment. This appears to be the final public record documenting Matthew Glaves during his lifetime. It is likely that Matthew was still active in the militia at the time of his death. The Cornstalk Militia of Kentucky 1792-1811 The Last Will and Testament of Matthew Glaves Matthew Glaves wrote his Will on November 11, 1799. We do not know the exact date of his death but we do know that the Will was probated in the Pendleton County Court during the April session in 1800. This author does not possess a Xerox copy of the actual document, only a hand written transcript, author unknown. What follows here is an account of that transcription. I Matthew Glaves of the County of Pendleton, State of Kentucky, do hereby make my last will and testament in manner and form following, that is to say, 1st I desire that all the perishable part of my estate be immediately sold after my decease and out of the moneys arising therefrom all my just debts and funeral expenses paid. 2ndly After the payment of my debts and funeral expenses, I give to my wife Betsy one third of my estate both real and personal for and during the term of her natural life and after her decease I give the same to my children herein after mentioned, equally to be divided among them and to be enjoyed by them forever. 3rdly I give to my three sons Michael, Thomas T. and William the Five hundred (acre) tract on Fork lick creek to be equally divided among the three. Likewise one sixth part each of my personal estate. 4thly I give to my three daughters Margaret, Esther and Polly an equal divide with the sons. 5thly All the rest of my estate both real and personal of what nature or kind soever - it may not herein before mentioned or disposed of I desire may be equally divided among the six children which I give to them, their heirs, Exors, Adminrs, & assigns forever. And Lastly I do hereby constitute and ask my friends Samuel Bryant and Wm Robertson, Executors of this my last will and testament hereby revoking all other and forever wills or testaments by me before made, In witness whereof I have set my hand and affixed my seal the 11th day of November 1799. Matthew Glaves (Seal) Signed, sealed, published & declared as and for the last will & testament of Matthew Glaves in presence of us. John Ewing Joseph Robertson Pendleton County Order Book A page 113 Matthew would have been barely forty years of age at the time of his death. The youngest of three sons of Matthew and Esther Glaves Sr., he was the first to pass away. There are no details dealing with Matthew's death and no reference in his Will about being in bad health. It is assumed that he was buried on the family property although any marker that may have existed has long since vanished. The Estate of Matthew Glaves Matthew's Will was filed in April of 1800 and Elizabeth, immediately contested it. "Elizabeth Glaves, widow of Matthew, said that she would not accept the legacy given to her in her husband's will". The Court appointed several individuals to appraise the estate and in the July term "Ordered that William Arnold, John Ewing, Edward King and Joel Robertson proceed to divide and set apart Elizabeth Glaves, Widow of Said decedent, her dower and make a report thereof". Pendleton County, Kentucky Order Book A It appears that Elizabeth was contesting the immediate disposition of the assets of the estate even though her children were all minors. The language and math in Matthew's Will was at least one source of the problem. It gave Elizabeth one third of his estate and at the same time gave each of his six children a one sixth share. During this same period the County Tax Rolls give some insight as to Elizabeth's plight. On May 2, 1800, a tax assessor recorded Elizabeth GLAVES' household as consisting of no white males over 21, nor any between the ages of 16-21, and a total of three slaves, only one over the age of 16. She is listed as owning 505 acres and the watercourse on which the land was located is listed as "South Licking". There is no specific identification of Elizabeth's children since all but the oldest son, Michael would have been less than 16 years old at the time. Michael is not listed so most likely he had moved away from home prior to 1800. Pendleton County, Kentucky Tax Lists 1800 On August 14, 1800, the four men who were appointed to set aside Elizabeth's share of the estate completed their appraisal of Matthew's holdings. The estate consisted of; "500 acres located on Fork Lick Creek, three Negroes; Hannah, Harry & Jack, some farm implements, sheep, cattle but no horses". The estate was appraised at 217 Pounds, 8 Shillings & 6 Pence. Pendleton County, Kentucky Order Book A The following day, the estate was liquidated. The land and slaves were held back. This author has a complete copy of the appraisal and list of purchasers at the estate sale. Matthew's widow, Elizabeth, is listed as one of the purchasers. Among the items she purchased: "2 pided cows, 1 white back cow and calf and 122 hogs". Elizabeth paid 7 pounds, 6 shillings and 10 pence for the hogs. Items listed in the sale included livestock and tools. It appears that Matthew did learn some of the wheelwright's trade from his apprenticeship to John Finley, since one of the items sold was "1 rim for turning wheels". Most of the household items appear to have been held back from the sale and appear to have been retained by Elizabeth. Pendleton County Court Records The men tasked with setting aside Elizabeth's dower filed their report on June 19, 1802. "We William Arnold, John Ewing, Edward King and Joel Robertson have proceeded to Divide and set apart the Estate of Matthew Glaves, decd. & have alloted to the widow her dower in manner & form as follows, to Witt It appears from the List of Sales after giving all due credits to Belong to sd. dower 30(pounds) - 0(shillings) - 13/4(pence). As for the land and Negroes we think ought to remain in the possession of sd. Widow for the Support and Maintenance of the Children until further Settlement". Pendleton County, Kentucky Order Book A Guardianship As was the custom of the day, a guardian was named for the children even though they continued to live with their mother. At least five of the children were still minors at the time of Matthew's death. This was usually a close friend or family member who was approved by the court. This person was responsible for administering the children's share of the estate. Girls over the age of twelve and boys over fourteen were allowed to choose their own guardians. The Guardian appointed was named "George Beal". This author believes this to be an incorrect spelling of the name of Elizabeth's brother, George Bell, who lived in the area. Elizabeth had remarried in 1801, and it appears that the minor children continued to live with her since her new husband, John Norton is named as one of the men serving as security in the guardianship. Court records contain the following entry. "November term 1804, Motion of Peggy GLAVES and Thomas GLAVES, infant orphans of Matthew GLAVES, deceased; they choose George Beal for their guardian, with John Norton, Elijah McClenahan, John Ewing as security. George Beal in also appointed guardian for Easton (Esther) GLAVES, Polly GLAVES and William GLAVES". There is no record of whom, if anyone had served as guardian for the children prior to 1804. Pendleton County, Kentucky Order Book A page 264 Settlement of the Estate That same day, George Bell moved to settle the Matthew's Estate. "On motion of George Beal Guardian to the heirs of Matthew GLAVES Decd. Ordered that John Ewing, William Arnold, James Theobalds and Robert Childres be appointed Commissioners to settle with the Executors of Matthew Glaves and report accordingly. Witness my hand this 13th of Novr. 1804. We have proceeded to divide between the heirs of Matthew GLAVES Decd. The Estate of Said GLAVES in manner following Viz - allotted Michael GLAVES legatee the one third of the land lying on the lower part of said land...with the use of the lower field two years and the use of one molatter boy until a further division takes place. We also allow John Norton the Interest on the whole of the moneys due said Estate from the time they became due so long as he may Seport and Maintain the orphans of said Descedent. Given under our hands the 26th day of Nov. 1804". Pendleton County, Kentucky Order Book A Even after 1804 there are continuing court entries dealing with settlement of the estate. The early entries reflect an on-going battle between Elizabeth and her oldest son, Michael. In 1808, Michael succeeded in being named Guardian for the children still underage. Years later, his brother, William would bring suit against him for mismanagement of his share of the estate. The final Pendleton County Court entry referencing the estate of Matthew Glaves occurred in 1824, when William dropped his suit after the death of his brother, Michael. Elizabeth's Second Marriage On September 23, 1801 Elizabeth married for a second time, to John Norton. His surname is listed in marriage records as "Mortin". John was a neighbor having lived in the area since about 1796, when he came to Kentucky with his father. John Norton was born in Loudoun County, Virginia about 1762. He served in the Revolutionary War and is listed as having been a Private in the County Militia. ` Pendleton County, Kentucky Marriages 1799-1843 Elizabeth was the second of John's three wives. John had five children from his first marriage and Elizabeth bore him an additional daughter, Sally. There is no definite date recorded for Elizabeth's death, although her son William would later state in court records that "Plaintiff's mother survived her husband by only a few years". The 1810 census notes a woman living in John Norton's home who is over 45. It is impossible to know for sure, but this appears to be Elizabeth. The census also lists five children of varying ages. John Norton married his third wife, a woman named Mary Hemingway, in October of 1813, so researchers believe that Elizabeth died prior to that date. A Pioneer Life Like his two older brothers, Matthew helped push the edge of the frontier westward. He and Elizabeth possessed the pioneer spirit that allowed them to endure hardships in search of a better life. They established a family presence in Northern Kentucky that would span the next 60 years. By the 1850s, their grandchildren had again moved westward, leaving only the court records to mark the family's name in Pendleton County. The location of their graves is unknown. We are grateful for the documentation that allows us to learn more about this couple and our heritage. The Children of Matthew and Elizabeth Glaves Matthew and Elizabeth had six children over a span of about 15 years. Michael, Peggy, Thomas T., Ester, Polly and William are all mentioned in their father's will. Most of the children appear to have been named for members of Matthew's family. All appear to have lived their entire lives in Kentucky. Virtually all of the following generation left Kentucky in the 1850s for some unknown reason. The family settled in northeast Missouri on the Mississippi River. Matthew and Elizabeth's children are listed below in chronological order. Pendleton County Court Records 1) Michael Glaves After 1780 - 1822 Michael was the oldest son of Matthew Jr. and Elizabeth (Bell) Glaves. It is reported that he was born while his parents still lived in Virginia and given the possible dates of his birth, this appears to be reliable information. Michael appears to have been named for his Uncle Michael, who helped pioneer the Davidson County, Tennessee area as described in detail in Chapter 4. There are conflicting reports about Michael Glaves and some of the dates do not match up. There possibly could have been more than one Michael in Pendleton County, Kentucky around 1800, although unlikely. There is a report by Michael's son David Newton Glaves, suggesting that his father was of Irish ancestry. Most other information has the family coming from Cambridgeshire, England. History of Lewis, Clark, Knox and Scotland Counties, Missouri Pendleton County court records lead us to believe that Michael was still a minor in 1800 when his father died. If this fact were true, the earliest he could have been born would be 1779. In 1804, when George Bell was named guardian for the minor children, Michael was not listed among them. This would narrow the window for Michael's birth to 1779-1783. Given that his father Matthew was apprenticed and could not marry until early 1779, a birthdate of 1780-81 appears to be the most likely. Pendleton County, Kentucky Order Book A page 264 The first time Michael is listed as an adult in Pendleton County appears to be on August 10, 1801 when he appears in an Appraisal Book used to record the value livestock. On that date the entry reads "Michael GLAVES, living on the mouth of Fork Lick Creek". Pendleton County, Kentucky Appraisal Book Michael next appears in an April 15, 1803 entry on the tax rolls. In that year he is listed as being over 21 and possessing "no acreage". The following year, the entry is a duplicate of the 1803 entry. On April 10, 1805 the entry shows him owning 173 acres on the South Licking River and owning one slave under the age of 16. The slave is not identified by name. The addition of the property in the 1805 entry would be consistent with the settlement of his father's estate in November of 1804. The entry for 1806 reports only 163 acres, again on the South Licking but no slaves are recorded. Pendleton County, Kentucky Tax Lists Michael's First Marriage Michael married for the first time on December 22, 1807 in Pendleton County. His bride was a woman named Betsy Criswell. Little is known of her life. A woman by that name is listed as being born in 1783 in Tazwell County, Virginia. Military records list several Revolutionary War veterans from Virginia with that surname settling in Kentucky. Betsy appears to have died prior to 1817 when Michael remarried. We do know the names of two children from this first marriage, as they are identified as minors in Pendleton County court records after his death in 1822. Pendleton County, Kentucky Marriages In September of 1808 "Michael GLAVES" was named to be the guardian of his brothers and sisters who were still minors at the time. His handling of the estate would lead to a series of court entries where his youngest brother William, would sue him over how the property was divided. Pendleton County, Kentucky Order Book B It is not clear if his mother, Elizabeth Norton, was still alive at this time. An 1822 deposition by her youngest son William states "Plaintiffs mother survived his father but a few years". Census records for John Norton's family suggests that she was still alive in 1810. Also in 1808, Michael received a commission with the rank of Captain, in the 21st Regiment of the Kentucky Militia. This is the same regiment that his father, Matthew, had served with and held a similar rank ten years earlier. No records indicating previous ranks held have been found. He most likely had been active in the militia prior to this date. It is assumed that he held this rank in the militia until the outbreak of the War of 1812. "Michael GLAVES" and his family appear in the 1810 Census for Pendleton County. Michael as the head of household, is the only family member listed by name and he gave his age as being 26-45. Included among the others is; a male under 10 years (most likely his son Harvey) and two males 10-16 (one may be his brother William, but the other is a mystery). Two females 16-26 are also recorded although it is impossible to positively identify them. One of these women is most likely his wife Betsy Criswell since we know she was still alive and had a daughter subsequent to this date. The other could be one of Michael's sisters, Peggy, Polly or Ester. Ester probably had already died prior to this date. The same page of the census lists John Norton's family with a number of children also. It is impossible to tell with any accuracy where Michael's siblings were counted. The final page of the Census gives us some insight into Pendleton County during this period. "I Jacob Pettit assistant to the marshal of the district of Kentucky in making the ---- census in Pendleton County, do hereby certify that that number of persons within my division, consisting of white males appears in the schedule hereto annexed to be 1399; Free white females 1275; other free person, except Indians, not taxed, 1; slaves 386; whole number of souls in Pendleton County 3061; Witness Jacob Pettit Assistant to the Marshal of the District of Kentucky, in Pendleton County, this 24th day of November A.D. 1810" Att Jacob Pettit 1810 Census, Pendleton County, Kentucky The War of 1812 "Relations between the United States and Great Britain had deteriorated over the previous year to the point that both sides were looking for a reason to instigate hostilities. Several naval incidents involving American sailors proved to be enough for Congress to declare that a state of war existed between the two countries. News of the declaration of war reached central Kentucky on June 26, 1812. The news was greeted with celebration with the firing of cannon and musketry. A regular Army force of some 2,000 men under the command of General Hull had been moving since early June to defend the Michigan territory and attack upper Canada from Detroit. The plan called for this force to be supplemented with Kentucky's quota of troops, 1,500 men, raised from volunteers." Remember the Raisin The Kentucky contingent consisted of three regiments under the command of General James Winchester. The First Regiment, commanded by Lt. Col. John Scott, included a company of soldiers formed in Pendleton County. "Captain Michael GLAVES' Company" consisted of 59 men, many with surnames reported earlier in this document. While the unit was supposed to be made up of volunteers, some men may have been conscripted into service. The company's roster includes three individuals who were being paid by others to take their place. Kentucky Soldiers of the War of 1812 On August 20th the Pendleton troops moved to rendezvous with the main force at Newport, Kentucky. The force became a part of the Northwestern Army under the command of General Benjamin Harrison. Early December found the force at Ft. Defiance, Ohio. "Though all the soldiers of the Northwestern Army suffered during the winter, none underwent greater privations than those under Winchester. Shivering in crudely made huts, the Kentuckians were on half rations except when they had no food at all. Nowhere within 100 miles was there a human habitation that offered a warm fire, a clean bed or a decent meal". The War of 1812 On December 22nd Winchester's force was ordered north to the Maumee River in Southern Michigan. "Though snow fell to a depth of two feet, Winchester's force of some 1200 men reached the rapids on January 10th and began to lay out a fortified camp on the north bank of the Maumee. About 35 miles northeast of the rapids and only eighteen miles southwest of Malden was the small settlement known as Frenchtown (later Monroe, Michigan) on the Raisin River. Soon messages began to be received from Frenchtown that the American settlers and a considerable quantity of food supplies were in need of rescue. The town was supposed to be garrisoned only by 50 Canadian militia and 100 Indians. After long months of waiting, the chance to strike the enemy was all the Kentuckians wanted". Remember the Raisin On January 18th, 1813 a force of approximately 750 men under Colonel William Lewis attacked Frenchtown. The British garrison fought long enough to kill 12 Americans and wound 55, but by nightfall Colonel Lewis was in possession of the town. With half his force at the rapids and half within 18 miles of a strong British force at Malden, Winchester suddenly realized how perilous his position was. He therefore decided to march to Lewis' help with 300 additional men. The Battle of Raisin River The major battle occurred four days later when the British commander, Colonel Henry Proctor, realized that the American force had over-extended itself. On January 22nd, with a force of 500 soldiers and 800 Indians under Chief Roundhead, the British attacked at dawn. When the right flank gave way to the British assault, the battle was lost. Sometime early in the battle, Captain Michael Glaves was wounded. The battle became a slaughter, with the Indians pursuing the retreating Kentucky companies, killing and scalping those caught in their advance. General Winchester was captured and surrendered the force to avoid any more bloodshed. Michael was one of a few to escape capture. Michael's escape is recounted in testimony given by Major Elijah McClanahan; the man credited with rescuing him. McClanahan was a friend of Michael's late father Matthew and his name appears in records involving the family as far back as Augusta County, Virginia. "Major McClanahan aided in the retreat of Captain Price and his men. "I assisted Captain Price, Captain (Michael) Glaves and others in the retreat, " he stated in May, 1813. "Captain Glaves was wounded, but I succeeded in getting him off, and should have saved Captain Price also, but for the weakness of my horse." The Major, Captain Glaves and Richard Matson and twenty five to thirty privates were the only ones to escape the battle of this day. Remember the Raisin The Raisin River Massacre When Colonel Proctor moved the able-bodied prisoners back to Malden, he left some 200 wounded Americans in the hands of his Indian allies at Frenchtown. The Indians, without the restraint of the British, looted the town and soon became drunk on the whiskey in the storehouses. In this state, they began to attack the doctors and wounded left behind. Over the next 24 hours most of the Americans were tortured, tomahawked and scalped. Some were made to stand without clothing in the deep snow until they were overcome by the elements. The brutality of this incident shocked citizens on both sides. Colonel Proctor was held personally responsible by the Americans. Fearing American reinforcements, he had to move quickly to the safety of Ft. Malden. The phrase "Remember the Raisin" became a rallying call for the remainder of the war. Michael's wounds proved to not be life threatening, having lost some teeth, probably was left with scars on his face. After the war, he was granted a 50% pension by the state. "A record of the discharge of Michael GLOVES, Captain in the First Regiment of the United States Militia Infantry. He was rendered incapable of performing the duties of a soldier because of wounds and other injuries inflicted in the line of duty. On January 22, 1813 while in battle for the United States at or near a place called River Raisin in Michigan he received 2 wounds from a gunshot in the upper jaw removing some of his teeth. His disability was rated one-half. In Pendleton County, Kentucky on May 13, 1820, Elijah McClannahan, late Major in the 1st Regiment of Kentucky Militia, Commanded by Colonel John C. Scott, made certification that on January 22, 1813, Michael GLAVES, who was a captain in his battalion, received two wounds. One was in his head and and one was in his jaw. The wounds disabled him. Michael GLAVES, Captain of the 1st Regiment of the Kentucky Militia, whose ratio of disability was rated one-half, was inscribed on the Pension Roll of the Kentucky Agency to commence on May 16, 1820. Certificate of the Pension was issued November 30, 1820." Abstract of Kentucky Pensions, Volume IV Michael's pension was set at $120.00 per year. Records indicate that he received a total of $267.67 before his death in 1822. There is no official record of Michael's military service after the Raisin River but at least one report lists him continuing his service even after being granted a pension in 1820. Several later documents refer to him with the titles "Major" and "Colonel". Pendleton County Court Records After the war, Michael resumed his life in Pendleton County and was mentioned frequently in Court proceedings. Many of the records had to do with his involvement with his father's estate. Entries pertaining to this estate continued even after Michael's death in 1822. Michael shows up frequently as purchaser at estate sales and in several instances, serves a Security in guardianships. A number of documents filed after Michael's death gives us some insight into his business dealings. Various accounts had to be settled by his executor, David Clarkson. Most entries dealt with money lent and borrowed. Martha "Patsy" Clarkson 1801 - 1872 Michael married for a second time on December 8, 1817 to Patsy Clarkson of Pendleton County, Kentucky. Little is known about her early life. She was the daughter of David Clarkson, a Revolutionary War veteran who served as the Administrator of Michael's estate. David C. Clarkson was the son of Anselm and Nancy Clarkson. Anselm died in 1816 in Pendleton County and his will mentions his son David. Pendleton County, Kentucky Wills 1799-1871 Michael and Patsy's marriage produced at least two children. Patsy appears to have also raised Michael's children from his previous marriage since all were minors at the time of his death. Years later, her son, David Newton Glaves, would identify Michael and Patsy as his parents in a biographical sketch, "....the latter (Patsy) a native of Bourbon County, Ky., born about 1801.....The mother came to this county (Lewis County, Missouri) in 1857, where she died in 1872. Our subject was reared by his mother, chiefly, and with few educational advantages". History of Lewis, Clark, Knox and Scotland Counties, Missouri Distiller of Spirituous Liquors It would appear that during the final decade of his life, Michael owned a still and produced a corn and rye based whisky, very possibly an early Kentucky bourbon. On February 9, 1822 Michael signed the following note. "On or before the 10th of May next, I promise to pay to James Miller two Hundred and thirty gallons of good whiskey to be delivered in barrels at or near My house for value received". On May 9th he delivered 130 gallons, the remainder was never delivered. His estate paid $50.00 on October 9, 1823 to settle the remainder of the note. Two lawsuits filed in 1824 provide some insight into this hobby. In the case United States of America vs. William Stowers, January 8, 1824, the following information appears in an abstract. "Suit on a bond of Michael Glaves on which Wm Stowers was surety; suit for $54.00 on bond of $27.00. Bond dated February 15, 1817, that Michael Glaves would pay U.S. Collector, $27.00, being the full amount of duties payable by him under Act of April 19, 1816 to impose a license to distillers of spiritous liquors on 1 still of capacity of 75 gallons in Pendleton county now belonging to Michael Glaves and under his management - for a term of two months." Michael signed the bond although this author does not have a true copy of the document. William Stowers made good on the bond and promptly filed suit against Michael's heirs to recover money and distilling supplies he was owed by the estate. Michael Glaves' Estate Michael appears to have died in October of 1822. A court entry dated October 1822 reads "the estate of Michael GLAVE deceast to Wm. W. Porter for making one raised lid walnut coffin $12". On November 18th of 1822 the Pendleton County Court decreed that "Letters of Administration are granted to David Clarkson (appears to be Patsy's father) on the estate of Michael GLAVE, dec'd". It appears that Michael died intestate (without a will). One of his grandsons, William Michael Glaves, reported years later that "Grandfather Michael Glaves was a major in the War of 1812, and afterwards, while major at a general muster in 1823, was accidentally killed through being thrown from his horse." No other details exist. At the same meeting, "Elijah McClanahan is appointed guardian to Harvey GLAVE and Betsey GLAVE, infant orphans of Michael GLAVE, dec'd". These were the children from Michael's first marriage to Betsy Criswell. Pendleton County, Kentucky Order Book D His estate was liquidated on November 29, 1822. Patsy, Peggy and Thomas GLAVES all are listed among the 50 buyers at the estate sale. An inventory of the sale included "1 rifle gun & powder horn, a clock (bought by brother-in-law Gauis Payne for $37.37 1/2), a 125 gallon still, a sword, pistols and books". Patsy bought a bed and furniture for $20. Patsy also had a survey of the property done: "Dower of Patsy Glaves laid off May 23, 1825, 55 1/2 acres". Pendleton County, Kentucky Court Records In August of 1824, David S. Clarkson was appointed guardian of "Phebe Ann and David N. Glaves", children of Patsy Clarkson-Glaves. David S. Clarkson was Patsy's brother. He used the "S" as a middle initial to distinguish him from his father by the same name. Since children over the age of 14 could chose their own guardians both must have been less than that age. We know David was only 4 at the time. Andrew Hughes was the lawyer who handled the court filings associated with the estate; his bill is included in the records. "Received from David Clarkson Ten dollars in Commonwealth paper being the amount of my fees in six or seven cases in which the Estate of Michael Glaves was concerned and in every case he has succeeded - and for which he is entitled to a credit on Settlement of the Estate Apl 22nd 1825. And. Hughes Atto. At Law Pendleton County, Kentucky Court Records Patsy's Life after Michael Martha "Patsy" Clarkson-Glaves did not remarry after the death of Michael. The 1850 census lists her as living in Pendleton County with her son David. Patsy made the move to Lewis County, Missouri and is believed to be buried there, although there is no record of the exact location. 2) Margaret "Peggy" Glaves Before 1790 - After 1823 Margaret was the second child of Matthew and Elizabeth. There is very little information on Margaret. The first time that Margaret is identified is when she is mentioned in her father's will in 1799. We do know that she was still a minor in November of 1804 when she and her brother chose their guardian. "November term 1804, Motion of Peggy GLAVES and Thomas GLAVES, infant orphans of Matthew GLAVES, deceased; they choose George Beal for their guardian, with John Norton, Elijah McClenahan, John Ewing as security". Peggy would have been at least twelve years old to make the selection for herself and Thomas fourteen. If the birth order listed here is correct, then she would have been born before 1790. Pendleton County, Kentucky Order Book A page 264 In September of 1808 Michael GLAVES was named to be the guardian of his brothers and sisters who were still minors at the time. In April of that year, Michael asked the court for $50.00 from his father's estate to pay for Peggy's medical expenses. "Traveling to Elizabethtown & returning with my two brothers Thomas & William & Margaret & she greatly affected with Fits". Pendleton County, Kentucky Order Book B After Michael's death, the estate of Peggy's father, Matthew Glaves was finally settled in 1824. Part of the settlement was to sell the family's two remaining slaves. On December 25, 1823, Hannah and Harry were sold at auction at the Courthouse in Falmouth. Harry was sold to a family friend, Graham Wallace and "Margaret GLAVES" purchased "the negro girl Hannah" for $175. Pendleton County, Kentucky Order Book D No record of any marriage involving Peggy has been found and this author believes that she probably died a spinster. Information regarding the date or location of Peggy's death has not been uncovered. Peggy's brother Thomas appears in the 1840 Pendleton County Census with his family. The names and relationships of the others in the family were not listed. A female born between 1780-1790 is listed as a part of the family unit. This appears to be Peggy, although there is no proof. 3) Thomas Turk Glaves About 1792 - 1843 Thomas was the third child of Matthew and Elizabeth Glaves. Thomas was named for his uncle, Thomas Turk Sr., who married Matthew's sister, Mary Glaves in 1766. The first time Thomas appears in court records is in connection with his father's will. Pendleton County Order Book A page 113 In September of 1804, Pendleton County, Kentucky Court records list "Peggy and Thomas GLAVES, infant orphans of Matthew GLAVES" as choosing George Beal (a later entry lists him as George Bell, Elizabeth's brother) to be their guardian. Children over the age of fourteen were allowed to select their own guardians. This would mean that both were born no later than 1790. A son, James Ren Glaves would later report his father's year of birth as 1792. Kentuckians in Missouri In September of 1808 an entry shows a change in guardians with their oldest brother, Michael Glaves, assuming this duty. On the same date, Thomas was apprenticed by Michael to a man named Discon H. Kennett. No mention is made of the length of the apprenticeship or Mr. Kennett's occupation. Thomas was probably about 18 at the time. Money was also paid from his father's estate to Michael "for his sister Peggy". Pendleton County, Kentucky Order Book B It appears that Thomas had at least some formal schooling. On March 5, 1810 his brother Michael asked the Pendleton County Court to be reimbursed from his father's estate for the sum of $50.00, "To schooling at Sundry times my two brothers Thomas & William". Pendleton County, Kentucky Order Book A page 264 Elizabeth Dance September 11, 1800 - November 26, 1881 Thomas married Elizabeth Dance on April 9, 1819 in Pendleton County, Kentucky. She was the daughter of Thomas and Nancy (Elders) Dance. Elizabeth was born in Kentucky. This author has found no records of her early life. Thomas Dance appears in Pendleton County tax lists as early as 1806 owning 100 acres on Crooked Creek. Her father is recorded as being granted a tavern license in Pendleton County in March of 1828. Early Bluegrass Marriages Thomas Glaves and his family appear in the Pendleton County, Kentucky census records for 1820 through 1840. Those records show that they had at least six children. The names of dependents were not listed until the 1850 census. All six of the children have been identified. All the children were born in Kentucky. The 1830 Census lists a young woman living with the family who was between 20-30 years of age. This unidentified person would have been too old to have been Thomas' child since he would have been married only 11 years at the time. It is possible that the woman may have been a relative, although there are no known unaccounted-for Glaves children during this timeframe. It is possible that this person may have been a relative of Elizabeth's. Thomas appears to have initially farmed the land given to him from his father's estate. Thomas eventually sold the land in several parcels and after his death, Elizabeth filed suit to reclaim a portion of the property, claiming she had never relinquished her dower rights. A deposition by Robert Makenson, taken on March 24, 1848 reveals the following. "I am well acquainted with the tract of land upon which it is said that Matthew Glaves lived and died and have been acquainted with it since 1812. When I first knew the land, Michael Glaves lived on it, and William Glaves lived with him; and afterwards Thos. T. Glaves lived on a part of the land. The tract of land was afterwards divided among the sons, Michael, Wm. and Thomas Glaves. Michael lived on his portion, Thomas T. Glaves lived on his part and William sold his. I bought a portion of the tract of Thomas T. Glaves laid down on the plat - 60 acres and a little upwards. Thomas T. Glaves lived on the tract laid off to him I would judge 16 years or upwards and he then moved on to the place I exchanged him for the 60+ tract, and I moved on the piece I got from him. Thomas T. Glaves' residence was on the part he sold to me near the river. He sold a part to Leonard Highfill and he lived upon it until he sold it to Joseph Brann. Since his death his widow Ann Brann has lived upon it, in the house built by Highfill. Elizabeth Glaves now lives on, and has lived ever since the death of her husband, upon the land I let him have in exchange for the 60+ acres". Elizabeth eventually won her suit. "Dower of Elizabeth C. Glaves laid off - 34 acres consisting of 11.50 acres improved; 3.71 partially cleared; 18.79 forest land". Elizabeth C. Glaves vs. Ann Brann In 1835, Thomas was involved in a lawsuit in which he charged a man named John Owens with trespass. "The deft with force of arms broke and entered the close of pltf. And felled, cut down, prostrated and destroyed the trees and timber Towit 20 oaks, ash trees and 20 poplar trees of sd pltf. of value of $60." Thomas lost his case. Pendleton County, Kentucky Court Records The Estate of Thomas Turk Glaves When Thomas died in 1843, Elizabeth was named to administer the estate. In December of that same year she relinquished that responsibility to her son William. "William M. GLAVE having produced in Court the written relinquishment of Elizabeth GLAVE of her right to administer upon the estate of her husband Thos. T. GLAVE decd. It is ordered that the said Willim M. GLAVE be appointed administrator of the personal estate of said Thomas T. GLAVE decd, Whereupon the said William M. GLAVE took the oath required by law and executed bond in the penalty of six hundred dollars with John Meyer's his security as the law directed and letters of administration is granted in due form of law". "Ordered John Childers, Robert Makemson and John Fugate being first duly sworn as the law directs do proceed to view and appraise the slaves, if any and personal estate of Thomas T. GLAVE deceased and that they return an inventory of this appraisment to this Court". This author does not possess a copy of the will, the results of this appraisal nor any further reference to Thomas' estate. Pendleton County, Kentucky Court Records In 1850 Elizabeth is listed living in Pendleton County with her three youngest children. The land she owned was valued at $800. Under the heading of occupation, she is listed as a "Farmer". Several of the children are listed as attending school. 1850 Census, Pendleton County, Kentucky When Thomas Dance Sr. died, his Will was probated in the County Court in January of 1862. Listed among his children mentioned in the will is "Betsy GLAVES". Pendleton County, Kentucky Will Abstracts, 1799-1871 Some time around 1855, Elizabeth's two oldest sons, William and James and at least two cousins moved to Lewis County, Missouri. The reason for the move remains a mystery although we do know that William's father-in-law, Graham Wallace had relocated to the area at least ten years prior. It does not appear that Elizabeth made the initial 1855 trip to Lewis County and must have moved there later. The 1860 census has Elizabeth and her children, Mary and Charles still in Pendleton County, Kentucky. A biographical sketch of her son, James Ren Glaves provides precious little detail of her life. "The mother lived in Kentucky from infancy and in 1864 came to this county, where she died November 6, 1884." Elizabeth is buried with more than 30 members of the family in the Lewiston Cemetery, Lewis County. The date of death on Elizabeth's tombstone is November 26, 1881. 4) Esther Glaves After 1793 - About 1810 Esther was the fourth of six children born to Matthew and Elizabeth. Her dates of birth and death have not been accurately established. It appears that she may have been named for Matthew's sister who is briefly profiled in Chapter 5. Esther was also her paternal grandmother's given name. Her life would be relatively short. In September of 1808 "Michael GLAVES" was named to be the guardian of his brothers and sisters who were still minors at the time. The children are not specifically named in this entry so we cannot be sure if Esther was still alive on this date. Pendleton County, Kentucky Order Book B Esther had definitely passed away before March of 1810. On March 5th of that year, her brother Michael asked the Pendleton County Court to be reimbursed from his father's estate for the sum of $40.00, "To medical aid & other necessary expenses for my sister Esther Glaves Decd". Pendleton County, Kentucky Order Book B An 1822 affidavit filed by William Glaves in conjunction with his lawsuit against his brother Michael confirms that Esther died early. "William Glaves says that his father died leaving six children: Michael, Margaret, Thomas T., Esther, Polly and the Plff., William Glaves, all infants under the age of 21 years. Esther afterwards died intestate and without issue". The term "without issue" meant that she had not given birth to any children. If Esther lived until 1810, she would have been no more than 16 years old when she died. No records of a marriage have been found. This author assumes that she died single. Pendleton County Court Records 5) Mary "Polly" Glaves After 1793 - after 1850 Polly was born about 1794, although no accurate date has been established. She was the fifth child of Matthew and Elizabeth Glaves. Given how her siblings were named for other relatives, it appears that she was named for Matthew's oldest sister, Mary Glaves-Turk. The first time Polly appears in court records is in connection with his father's will. Pendleton County Order Book A After the death of her father, the Pendleton County Court appointed George Beal as guardian of "Easter, Polly and William GLAVES" in 1804. Her brother Thomas and sister Peggy chose the same man as their guardian. Boys over the age of 14 and girls over 12 could choose their own guardians. This means Mary was less than 12 in 1804. Boys reached majority at age 21 and girls at 18. The children appear to still be living with their mother since one of three men named as security for the guardianship is John Norton, her new husband that she married in 1801. In September of 1808 an entry shows a change in guardians with their brother, Michael Glaves assuming this duty. Gaius Payne About 1792 - July 1846 Polly married Gaius Payne (listed in some records as "Gaines Paune") on February 27, 1812 in Pendleton County. The marriage record is listed in county records. Polly needed the consent of her brother Michael, which means she had not yet turned 18. If this is true the earliest she could have been born would be 1794. Early Bluegrass Marriages "Know all men by theses presents that We Gaius Payne & Michael Glaves_______ are held and firmly bound unto the Commonwealth of Kentucky in the final sum of Fifty pounds current money of the commonwealth aforesaid for the payment which well and souly to be made we and each of us bind ourselves & each of Heirs Exors and administrators jointly severally and firmly by these presents and sealed with our seal and dated this 24th day of February 1812. The condition of the above obligation is such that whereas the Clerk of Pendleton County hath this day issued a License of the Marriage of the above bound Gaius Payne and Polly Glaves_______Now if there shall hereafter appear no lawful cause to obstruct said marriage and no damage occurs by reason of said license being issued then the above obligation shall be void, otherwise the same shall be and remain in full force and virtue." Att Gaius Payne (Seal) ___ Kenneth Michael Glaves (Seal) Pendleton County Court Records There is no positive proof that Richard Payne was Gaius' father although several researchers suspect this to be true. Gaius and Zenus Payne (probably his brother) served as administrators of Richard Payne's estate after his death in 1821. Pendleton County, Kentucky Order Book D During the early 1820s, Polly's brother, William sued Michael over how his brother had managed their father's estate. On several instances, Polly was subpoenaed to testify about the matter. The Final Settlement of the estate of Michael Glaves on March 16, 1827 includes an entry, "balance due on note held by Gaius Payne on sd. Glaves (dated Nov. 24, 1819) $150 plus interest of $59.00". Pendleton County, Kentucky Court Records That same year, Gaius appears on a list of individuals who owed money to the estate of Walter Fryer. No other details are included here. Pendleton County, Kentucky Order Book D The Will of Gaius Payne "In the name of God Amen I Gaius Payne of the County of Pendleton and state of Kentucky being weak in body but of perfect mind and memory thanks be unto God calling into mind the mortality of my body and knowing it is appointed for all men once to die do make and ordain this my last will and testament (that is to say) principally and first of all I give and recommend my soul unto the hands of Almighty God who gave it and my body I recommend to the earth to be buried in a decent burial, at the discretion of my executor and as touching my worldly estate where with it has pleased God to bless me with in this life. I have devised and disposed of in the following manner and form, first I will that all my just debts be paid. Secondly, I will that Polly Payne my beloved wife is to live on said plantation where we now live and be supported from the same while she lives my widow ---- Thirdly, I will and bequeath the whole of the farm containing one hundred and seven acres unto my three sons, namely, Uriel S.

I do ordain and appoint Urial Payne my executor of this my last will and testament. I do confirm and ordain this my will and no other.

Egleston "Commonwealth of Kentucky Pendleton County Court July Term 1846 The foregoing instrument of writing purporting to be the last will and testament of Gaius Payne, decd was produced in the said Court at the term aforesaid, and proved by the oaths of J. S. Egleston and A. B. Egleston, two of the subscribing witnesses thereto, whereupon the said writing was established as the last will and testament of the said Gaius Payne decd, and ordered to be recorded which is hereby done." Att. Robert McCarty CLK By Wm. E. Records DC The Will of Gaius Payne is recorded in the Pendleton County Court, Commonwealth of Kentucky, July Term 1846. His son Uriah was named Executor of the estate. Pendleton County Will Book 1 Polly appears to have died sometime after 1850, although this author has no definite details regarding this event. A "Mary Payne" appears in the 1850 Pendleton County census living with her son James and his family. The age reported (50) appears to be inaccurate, although this author is reasonably sure that this is our "Polly". No further records pertaining to her have been found to date. 6) William Bell Glaves Before 1798 - After 1861 William was the youngest son of Matthew and Elizabeth Glaves, born just before the turn of the century. William appears to have been named for his father's oldest brother who is profiled in Chapter 3 of this document. His middle name, "Bell", was his mother's maiden name, adding more evidence to her true identity. During his adult life, many entries pertaining to him list the family surname as "Glave", dropping the "s". On March 5, 1810 his brother Michael asked the Pendleton County Court to be reimbursed from his father's estate for the sum of $50.00, "To schooling at Sundry times my two brothers Thomas & William". Other court documents report that William lived with his brother Michael on the family farm for some period of time while he was still a minor. Pendleton County, Kentucky Order Book A page 264 Glaves vs. Glaves The first records uncovered pertaining to William's adult life are a series of court filings in the early 1820s where he sued his brother, Michael over the handling of his father's estate. He eventually dropped the suit after Michael's death in 1822. He was successful in obtaining some land from his brothers, Thomas and Michael. A number of documents were filed in conjunction with this lawsuit. The most detail is provided in an abstract of a deposition taken from William. The document is undated, although appears to have been taken in 1821. "Matthew Glaves died in the year 1800, after making his will. Samuel Bryant and William Robinson were named executors. William Glaves says that his father died leaving six children, Michael, Margaret, Thomas T., Esther, Polly and the Plff., William Glaves, all infants under age of 21 years. Esther afterwards died intestate and without issue. Matthew devised one third of his estate during her life, to Betsy, his wife. Matthew died posessed of three negros: Hannah, Harry & Jack, and that since his death sd negro woman had issue a daughter called Cloe; that sd negro Jack died several years ago, and Cloe some time in the month of March last. Jack was 16 or 17 years old when he died, and Cloe betwixt 17 and 20 at her death; so that there are living only two of the slaves - Hannah and Harry. Plaintiff's mother survived his father but a few years. The executors proceeded with their duties until the death of Wm. Robinson, whereupon Martin Fugate became Admr. With the will annexed to sd Matthew. In the year 1808 Michael Glaves was appointed Guardian for the Plff and his brothers and sisters; prior to that time he had obtained possession of the negro Harry, and had settled upon the tract of 500 acres of land, and upon his appointment as guardian, he obtained possession of the remaining negros and took control of the plantation of which Matthew had died seized, and continued to receive the rent and issues of sd plantation until within a few years past, and the negros up to this date; and also he received from sd Fugate, Admr. And Wm. Robinson Decd., considerable sums of money, to which his wards were entitled. The Plaintiff, since he has arrived at full age, which has been betwixt 2 and 3 years ago, he has frequently called upon his said guardian for a settlement, and payment of the balance which would be found due Plff. But he has refused to come to a settlement or to make payment of the balance. Said negro Cloe has died since all of the wards have arrived at full age and since a demand made for the sale or division of the negros". Pendleton County, Kentucky Court Records Evidently, William had already moved south to Harrison County at the time of the lawsuit against his brother. A summons reads; "Harrison Co. Sct. Richard W. Porter made oath that he delivered a copy of within notice to Wm. GLAVES at his boarding house in Cynthiana on the 29th day of Aug. 1823". It appears he would spend the remainder of his life in this county. A deposition taken from Robert Makenson as part of the lawsuit, states that upon receiving his share of the family farm, William promptly sold it. Pendleton County, Kentucky Court Records On June 24th, 1824 William GLAVES married Rebbeca Woodmansee in Harrison County, Kentucky, most likely in the town of Cynthiana. The bride's name was recorded as "Rebeckah". Little is known about her other than several undocumented reports stating that she was the daughter of Frank Woodmansee. Harrison County, Kentucky Marriage Bonds and Marriages 1814+ After his brother Michael died, his older children, Harvey and Elizabeth appear to have been taken in by William at least for a period of time. A summons served on Harvey in conjunction with Michael's estate was delivered to Harrison County, Kentucky in late 1824. Sometime before August of 1827 William had apprenticed Harvey to a man named John White, no occupation given. That month, a court entry states; "Harvey GLAVES is released from his apprenticeship to John White, he having been bound by William H. GLAVES, his guardian, without the consent of this court". Harrison County, Kentucky Record Book D William appears in numerous records during the 1830-1850 period. In December of 1832, "William GLAVES is released from paying his county taxes, due to error". The following month "William GLAVES is appointed guardian to William Grubs, on a motion of Richard F. Grubs". Harrison County, Kentucky Minute Book G Sheriff William Bell Glave During this same period William became the Sheriff of Harrison County. He frequently brought claims against the county for payment of expenses that appear to be related to his duties as Sheriff. Few provided any detail, although a November 1844 entry states; "payment to William B. GLAVE for arresting Jno. Egnew and Jno. Asbury". Harrison County, Kentucky Minute Book J On May 10, 1847, William was again called upon to serve as a guardian; "Wm. H.T. Beckett and Selina Beckett, infant orphans of Joseph Beckett, being over the age of 14 years, chose Wm. B. GLAVE as their guardian". Another entry details yet another duty performed. "Payment is made to Wm. B. GLAVES for Sheely's burial". Harrison County, Kentucky Minute Book K William and Rebecca are listed in the 1850 Harrison County Census along with their two children. He lists his age as 48, which may be an error since his father appears to have died prior to 1800. A February 1857 reference in the Cynthiana News refers to the marriage of "Miss Sarah E. GLAVES, daughter of W.B. GLAVES, Sheriff of this County". Vital Statistics of Harrison County, Kentucky The final reference to William appears in a book about Harrison County during the Civil War. "On September 30, 1861, a group of influential pro-South sympathizers, and county officials became the first of many arrested for "affording aid and comfort to the enemies of the government." Major J.R. Curry, judge of the Harrison County court, Perry Wherritt, county court clerk, William B. GLAVE, sheriff, (other entries list him as the former sheriff) and A.J. Morey, editor of the Cynthiana News. After being processed at the U.S. Barracks at Newport, Kentucky, the prisoners were transported to Camp Chase, which was near Columbus, Ohio. They remained confined there from three to twenty-five days, except Wherritt, whose release was in late November 1862. The prison log does not record the charges against these men." Rattling Spurs and Broad-Brimmed Hats William Bell Glaves would have been more than 60 years old when he was arrested in 1861. No other information has been uncovered pertaining to the lives of William and Rebecca. The dates and locations of their deaths remain a mystery. During his later years William is listed with the spelling of his surname without the "S". His son Edwin appears almost exclusively with the spelling of the surname as "GLAVE". This change has made it difficult to document additional generations of this line. More About Matthew & Elizabeth's Family The story of the Matthew Glaves Jr. Family continues later in this manuscript. Additional generations are chronicled in Chapter 10. Detailed maps of Kentucky, Tennessee and Missouri documenting areas settled by the descendants of Matthew Glaves Sr. appear in Chapter 12. 7 The Descendants of Mary Glaves-Turk About 1758 - 1799 This Chapter provides additional detail into the descendants of Mary Glaves Turk. Much of the information contained in this chapter has been obtained from the valuable work of other researchers. The degree of documentation in this section is less than that contained in Chapters 1-6. This chapter attempts to establish family lineages to the present day. Many specific references need to be researched further to obtain the definitive proof needed by serious genealogists. References to the Mormon International Genealogical Index are especially prone to errors and should be viewed as a starting point and not necessarily documented facts. 1.

HOUSTON6 TURK. 8 The Descendants of William Gleaves About 1748 - 1820 This Chapter provides additional detail into the descendants of William Gleaves. Much of the information contained in this chapter has been obtained from the valuable work of other researchers. The degree of documentation in this section is less than that contained in Chapters 1-6. This chapter attempts to establish family lineages to the present day. Many specific references need to be researched further to obtain the definitive proof needed by serious genealogists. References to the Mormon International Genealogical Index are especially prone to errors and should be viewed as a starting point and not necessarily documented facts. 1. WILLIAM2 GLEAVES (MATTHEW1 GLAVES, SR.) is reported to have been born about 1748 in Cambridgeshire, England, and died May 1820 in Cripple Creek, Wythe County, Virginia. He married ELIZABETH TURK, "BETTY" May 03, 1770 in Staunton, Augusta County, Virginia, daughter of THOMAS TURK and MARGARET UNKNOWN. She was born June 1753 in Augusta County, Virginia, and died July 10, 1840 in Cripple Creek, Wythe County, Virginia. Children of WILLIAM GLEAVES and ELIZABETH TURK are: 2. i. THOMAS3 GLEAVES, b. March 18, 1771, Cripple Creek, Wythe County, Virginia; d. 1849, Davidson County, Tennessee. ii. MATTHEW GLEAVES, b. November 09, 1772, Probably Cripple Creek, Wythe County, Virginia; d. before April 05, 1805, Davidson County, Tennessee. 3. iii. MARY MARTHA GLEAVES, "POLLY", b. December 13, 1774, Cripple Creek, Wythe County, Virginia; d. November 18, 1832, Wythe County, Virginia. 4. iv. WILLIAM GLEAVES, JR., b. September 27, 1777, Cripple Creek, Wythe County, Virginia; d. about 1811, Christian County, Kentucky. v. ELIZABETH GLEAVES, "BETSY", b. October 02, 1779, Cripple Creek, Wythe County, Virginia; m. UNKNOWN RAMSEY, before 1820. 5. vi. ABSALOM GLEAVES, b. September 05, 1781, Cripple Creek, Wythe County, Virginia; d. November 18, 1834, Davidson County, Tennessee. 6. vii. MARGARET GLEAVES, "PEGGY", b. January 01, 1784, Cripple Creek, Wythe County, Virginia; d. September 14, 1855, Adair County, Kentucky. 7. viii. ESTHER GLEAVES, b. January 14, 1786, Augusta County, Virgina; d. about March 01, 1839, Saline County, Missouri. 8. ix. JAMES TURK GLEAVES, b. February 16, 1788, Cripple Creek, Wythe County, Virginia; d. 1862, Cripple Creek, Wythe County, Virginia. 9. x. SARAH GLEAVES, "SALLY", b. February 20, 1790, Cripple Creek, Wythe County, Virginia; d. March 11, 1862, Warren County, Kentucky. 10. xi. NANCY GLEAVES, b. April 07, 1792, Cripple Creek, Wythe County, Virginia; d. 1856, Wythe County, Virginia. Third Generation 2. THOMAS3 GLEAVES (WILLIAM2, MATTHEW1 GLAVES, SR.) was born March 18, 1771 in Cripple Creek, Wythe County, Virginia, and died 1849 in Davidson County, Tennessee. He married SARAH SMITH, "SALLY" March 13, 1797 in Davidson County, Tennessee. She was born 1776, and died before 1848 in Hermitage, Davidson County, Tennessee. Notes for THOMAS GLEAVES: Thomas and Sally are profiled in detail in Chapter 3 of this document. Children of THOMAS GLEAVES and SARAH SMITH are: 10. i. WILLIAM B.4 GLEAVES, b. 1798, Davidson County, Tennessee; d. 1857, Dyer County, Tennessee. 11. ii. JAMES ROBERTSON GLEAVES, b. March 13, 1799, Hermitage, Davidson County, Tennessee; d. December 09, 1865, Hermitage, Davidson County, Tennessee. 12. iii. JOHN G. GLEAVES, b. January 16, 1801, Davidson County, Tennessee; d. June 14, 1854, Davidson County, Tennessee. 13. iv. ELIZABETH GLEAVES, b. 1803, Davidson County, Tennessee; d. June 23, 1833, Davidson County, Tennessee. v. EMELINE GLEAVES, b. February 10, 1805, Davidson County, Tennessee; d. July 29, 1881, Hermitage, Davidson County, Tennessee; m. JAMES WRIGHT, January 22, 1839, Davidson County, Tennessee; d. 1874, Tennessee. Notes for EMELINE GLEAVES: Emeline is referenced in her father's will by name, although there is some mystery associated with the entry. Two of her brothers were given a female slave, Janie, to be held in trust "...for the support and benefit of my daughter Emeline Wright and her family during her natural life. And at her death conveyed to her children then living...". It does not appear that Emeline had any children at the time the will was drafted in 1846, since later in the paragraph, additional instructions are included. "But if said Emeline Wright should die without children or the issue of such children (grandchildren). Then Janie and all her future increase shall go to and belong to my children then living.... ". To date no children have been identified as belonging to the family of James and Emeline. Davidson County Court Records It appears that Thomas did not want Emeline's husband, James Wright to gain control of her inheritance. If there was a problem between them, no other reference to it has been found. The only other suggestion that something was amiss is the fact that Emeline is buried in the Gleaves Cemetery at Central Pike and Old Hickory Boulevard, in Davidson County. The other three graves at that location are those of her nephews. The burial location of James Wright is unknown, although definitely not with his wife. vi. AMERICUS D. GLEAVES, b. February 11, 1809, Davidson County, Tennessee; d. December 23, 1899, Wilson County, Tennessee; m. ELIZA T. EVERETT, March 23, 1859, Wilson County, Tennessee; b. before 1842; d. after 1900. Notes for AMERICUS D. GLEAVES: Americus and his brothers Benjamin and Felix all served in Hill's Company of the 1st Tennessee Infantry during the Cherokee War 1836-39. This was a unit of volunteers. On September 24, 1892, Americus filed a Survivor's Certificate (#1815) for a pension for his service. After he died in 1898, his widow, Eliza T. Everett, filed a Widow's Certificate (#5596) on March 21, 1900. Index to Indian Wars Pension Files 1892-1926 Americus is listed in the 1850 Davidson County, Tennessee Census living with the family of his younger brother, Benjamin. There is no record of him in 1860, but he is listed again in 1870, this time in Wilson County. Americus and Eliza's marriage is recorded in Early Middle Tennessee Marriages. He would have been almost 50 years old at time. It is possible that he had been married earlier, although no record of a prior marriage has been found. Americus is buried in the Cedar Grove Cemetery, in the town of Lebanon, Wilson County. It is not known if Eliza is buried there as well, as no grave has been found. She does appear in the records of the Cemetery so it is likely that the headstone has disappeared. vii. FELIX R. GLEAVES, b. 1816, Davidson County, Tennessee; d. after 1892; m. (1) NANCY MANEESE DAVIS, June 28, 1836, Wilson County, Tennessee; b. September 27, 1819, Wilson County, Tennessee; d. September 20, 1836, Wilson County, Tennessee; m. (2) NANCY F. HUGGINS, January 08, 1841, Davidson County, Tennessee; b. Before 1825, Tennessee; d. before 1863. Notes for FELIX R. GLEAVES: Both of Felix's marriages are recorded in Early Middle Tennessee Marriages. Felix and his brothers Benjamin and Americus all served in Hill's Company of the 1st Tennessee Infantry during the Cherokee War 1836-39. This was a unit of volunteers. On September 17, 1892, Felix filed a Survivor's Certificate (#986) for a pension for his service. Index to Indian Wars Pension Files 1892-1926 Felix and his second wife, Nancy are listed in the 1850 Census of Davidson County. No children are listed, although a 16 year old girl living with them, Rosanna Huggins, may be Nancy's younger sister. The couple does not appear in the 1860 or 1870 Tennessee Census and may have moved out of the state. Felix may be the "Captain F. R. Gleaves" listed in the records of the "Gleaves Company" 50th Arkansas Militia that participated in the Battle of Pea Ridge in March of 1862. It is unknown where within the state this unit was formed. Several researchers list Felix's middle name as "Robertson". This author does not doubt this fact, but has been unable to document it. 14. viii. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN GLEAVES, b. about 1818, Davidson County, Tennessee; d. before 1892, Williamson County, Tennessee. ix. NANCY ANN GLEAVES, b. 1819; d. after 1846; m. PIERCE CHERRY, January 17, 1846, Davidson County, Tennessee; b. about 1818; d. after 1846. Notes for NANCY ANN GLEAVES: Nancy Ann's marriage is listed in Early Middle Tennessee Marriages although she is listed as "Mary Ann Gleaves". Her husband's first name is listed there as "Piene" on the marriage license and appears to be a misspelling. Family researcher, Robert Gleaves, has her identified as "Nancy Ann" rather than Mary Ann and this appears to be correct. 3. MARY MARTHA3 GLEAVES, "POLLY" (WILLIAM2, MATTHEW1 GLAVES, SR.) was born December 13, 1774 in Cripple Creek, Wythe County, Virginia, and died November 18, 1832 in Wythe County, Virginia.

JAMES TURK3 GLEAVES (WILLIAM2, MATTHEW1 GLAVES, SR.) was born February 16, 1788 in Cripple Creek, Wythe County, Virginia, and died 1862 in Cripple Creek, Wythe County, Virginia. He married MALVINA CROCKETT 1822, daughter of SAMUEL CROCKETT and ELIZABETH TAYLOR. She was born 1800 in Virginia, and died 1870 in Cripple Creek, Wythe County, Virginia. Notes for JAMES TURK GLEAVES: James and Malvina are profiled in detail in Chapter 3 of this document. Children of JAMES GLEAVES and MALVINA CROCKETT are: 27. i. SAMUEL CROCKETT4 GLEAVES, b.

AND GEORGE WYTHE GLEAVES - are sons of James T. and Melvina (Crockett) Gleaves, who lived and died in Wythe County. Their mother was closely related to Davy Crockett, of border annals. On their father's side they are of a family represented on the battlefields of Virginia for three generations. Their grandfather, William Gleaves, was a lieutentant under General Greene in the Revolutionary War, their father was an ensign in the 1812 War and stationed at Norfolk, and five of his sons enrolled their names for the defense of Virginia in the late war. George Wythe was a Major in the Wythe Home Guards, and participated in the battles of Saltville, Wytheville, and Crockets Cave. George Wythe Gleaves was born in Wythe County, April 17, 1827, and married Isabella C. Sanders, December 5, 1855, in Wythe County, where she was born July 22, 1827, a daughter of Colonel I.A. and Elizabeth (Oury) Sanders. Since the war he has been four years magistrate of Wythe County. The brothers are engaged in pursuits of agriculture, with postoffice address at Speedwell, Wythe County, Virginia."

Notes for JAMES TURK GLEAVES, JR.: A series of books on individual Confederate regiments from Virginia provide some information regarding James. His occupation is listed as "Lawyer" when he first enlisted in the 4th Virginia Infantry Regiment. He enlisted on the day that Virginia voted to secede from the Union, April 17, 1861. The following month James T. was elected Sergeant in Company A, a unit known as the "Wythe Greys". In August of that same year he was appointed to the position of Regimental Recruiting Sergeant. On December 17, 1861, in Winchester, Virginia, James "died of fever" from exposure. No record has been found documenting a marriage for James: it is assumed that he died single. This author does not know the final resting- place of James T. Gleaves. 9. SARAH3 GLEAVES, "SALLY" (WILLIAM2, MATTHEW1 GLAVES, SR.) was born February 20, 1790 in Cripple Creek, Wythe County, Virginia, and died March 11, 1862 in Warren County, Kentucky. She married NATHAN ALLEN September 06, 1810 in Wythe County, VA, son of ROBERT ALLEN and JANE TURK. He was born October 16, 1781 in Virginia, and died 1871 in Kentucky.

WILLIAM B.4 GLEAVES (THOMAS3, WILLIAM2, MATTHEW1 GLAVES, SR.) was born 1798 in Davidson County, Tennessee, and died 1857 in Dyer County, Tennessee. He married (1) HARRIET SIMPKINS November 20, 1826 in Wilson County, Tennessee, daughter of JOHN SIMPKINS. She was born before 1810 in Tennessee, and died April 07, 1854 in Williamson County, Tennessee. He married (2) LOUSIA P. MORGAN 1846 in Williamson County, Tennessee. She was born 1802, and died after 1860. Notes for WILLIAM B. GLEAVES: William appears to be the oldest son of Thomas Gleaves. He is mentioned in his Father's will, dated 1846. He received the sum of twenty dollars, much less than the slaves and property given to his siblings. William appears to have already established himself by that time and may not have needed any help further from his father. It was the custom at the time for large landholders to bequeath property to their heirs before they died. The father and son appear to be on good terms since later in the will Thomas mentions that he is serving as Security for his son in an unnamed court case. In 1831 and 1835 William B. Gleaves had already received four Land Grants from the State of Tennessee. These grants, totaling more than 100 acres of unclaimed land, appear to be in Dyer County (grants #11081-2 and 13150-1). A fifth grant, (#23367) for nearly 140 acres in Williamson County occurred in 1854. A sixth grant, also in 1831, was for 37 acres in Sumner County. This grant (#11116) was recorded in the name William "F." Gleaves and probably was a transcription error. Tennessee Land Grants William was married twice and his second wife Louisa survived him. Both of his marriages are documented in Early Middle Tennessee Marriages. He wrote his will on September 25th of 1857 and appears to have died shortly thereafter since the will was entered into court during the October term that year. The will mentions Lousia by name as well as three daughters. The remainder of the children are referenced, although not by name. Dyer County, Tennessee Will Book A William is reported to have been a successful farmer and his will suggests that to be the case. After his death, an 1863 land deal references a parcel that was part of a 1,000 acre tract belonging to "Wm. B. Gleaves". Harriet's maiden name is sometimes listed as Lumpkin. Her first name is recorded on the marriage license as "Harriot". She is buried in a small graveyard in Davidson County. The birthdates of Louisa's children make her year of birth questionable since she would have been over 50 years old when the youngest was born. After William's death she appears in the 1860 Tennessee Census with a number of the children from William's two marriages. The surname is spelled incorrectly as "Gleares". The family is found living in Dyer County. Children of WILLIAM GLEAVES and HARRIET SIMPKINS are: 31. i. SARAH ANN5 GLEAVES, b. March 15, 1829, Williamson County, Tennessee; d. after 1857. ii. GEORGE W. GLEAVES, b. August 19, 1827, Davidson County, Tennessee; d. April 19, 1828, Davidson County, Tennessee. iii. FELIX R. GLEAVES, b. June 07, 1830, Davidson County, Tennessee; d.

CROW, January 17, 1872, Dyer County, Tennessee; b. before 1858. Notes for HARRIET GLEAVES: Harriet is listed as marrying twice. Her first husband is reported to be R.S. Sloan but no dates are given. The fact that both husbands share the same initials leads this author to suspect that they are one and the same person. Children of WILLIAM GLEAVES and LOUSIA MORGAN are: x. D.5 GLEAVES, b. about 1847, Williamson County, Tennessee. xi. WILLIAM DANIEL GLEAVES, b. about 1849, Williamson County, Tennessee; d. after 1882; m. (1) MARTHA BLAIR, December 16, 1874, Dyer County, Tennessee; m. (2) RODIE WIMBERLY, December 13, 1882, Dyer County, Tennessee; b. Henry County, Tennessee; d. after 1882. Notes for WILLIAM DANIEL GLEAVES: The marriage license for William and Rodie Wimberly states that his occupation was "Lumber Man". The date of the marriage appears to be an error since "Rhoda A. Gleaves" is found in the 1880 Dyer County Census living with her brother-in-law, Zachary Taylor Gleaves. 36. xii. ZACHARY TAYLOR GLEAVES, b. about 1849, Williamson County, Tennessee. 37. xiii. JAMES M. GLEAVES, b. June 1848, Wilson County, Tennessee. 11. JAMES ROBERTSON4 GLEAVES (THOMAS3, WILLIAM2, MATTHEW1 GLAVES, SR.) was born March 13, 1799 in Hermitage, Davidson County, Tennessee, and died December 09, 1865 in Hermitage, Davidson County, Tennessee. He married ELIZABETH WOOD, "ELIZA" January 12, 1823 in Davidson County, Tennessee. She was born October 16, 1806 in Virginia, and died October 25, 1872 in Hermitage, Davidson County, Tennessee. Notes for JAMES ROBERTSON GLEAVES: James appears in Davidson County, Tennessee Census records as early as 1830. Beginning in 1850 the names of all family members were listed in the census. That year James, Eliza and seven of their twelve children are recorded. The 1860 Census lists the couple with three of their younger daughters living at home. It appears that James and Eliza must have thought that given names were very important, especially for their six daughters. The girl's names literally flow off the tongue, with each incorporating a state as the first or middle name. James, Eliza and five of their sons were charter members of the New Hope Baptist Church in Hermitage, Tennessee. The church was founded in November of 1846 with 30 members. He and his family had been members of McCrory's Creek Church and it appears that New Hope was founded to serve the community living on the east side of Stone's River. During certain times of the year the river was impassable making it difficult for these families to attend church services. The Church records provide valuable insight to James, his family and subsequent generations. The minutes of the organizational meeting of New Hope are included here. "The Missionary Baptist Church of New Hope was constituted at Cedar Glade School on the East Side of Stones River in Eastern Davidson County and State of Tennessee. Agreeable to previous arrangements we who had been members of McCrory's Creek Church met at Glade School House on Saturday before the 4th Lord's Day in November 1846 then seated ourselves and chose a Moderator who presented and read the Articles of the Constitution which was adopted. We then received a lecture from Elder Peter and Thomas Fuqua which was opened and closed by prayer after which we was pronounced a distinct and Independent Church and while a hymm was sung the right hand of fellowship was given. The Church then elected Brother Hollis Hagar, Church Clerk. Done in regular conference on Saturday before the 4th lord's Day in November 1846. Signed: Hollis Hagar, Ch. Clk." History of New Hope Baptist Church James and Eliza's marriage is listed in Early Middle Tennessee Marriages. They are buried in the Clements Cemetery on Earhart Road in Hermitage, Tennessee.

Gleaves was added to the membership rolls of New Hope Baptist Church in 1858. History of New Hope Baptist Church It appears that D.R. Humble first married Missouri Jane's sister, Sarah Catherine Louisiana Gleaves in 1873. After her death in 1875, he married her older sister, Missouri. There are reports of two children being born into this marriage. Missouri and D.R. are reportedly buried in the Clements Cemetery. 45. ix. ELIZABETH ALABAMA GLEAVES, b.

History of New Hope Baptist Church After the death of Sarah Catherine, Mr. Humble appears to have married her older sister, Missouri Jane Gleaves. Both wives are buried with their husband in the Clements Cemetery. 12. JOHN G.4 GLEAVES (THOMAS3, WILLIAM2, MATTHEW1 GLAVES, SR.) was born January 16, 1801 in Davidson County, Tennessee, and died June 14, 1854 in Davidson County, Tennessee. He married ELIZABETH W. CURD December 16, 1828 in Wilson County, Tennessee, daughter of JOHN CURD and ELIZABETH LUMPKIN. She was born about 1811 in Virginia, and died after 1850 in Davidson County, Tennessee. Notes for JOHN G. GLEAVES: John and Elizabeth's marriage is listed in Early Middle Tennessee Marriages. John is buried in the Gleaves Family Cemetery, Jones Bend, Tennessee. Several of his children are also buried there but there is no sign of his wife, Elizabeth. Elizabeth's birth-date and location are from the 1850 Tennessee Census as are most of the birth-dates of their six surviving children. John's will is recorded in Davidson County. Children of JOHN GLEAVES and ELIZABETH CURD are: i. GEORGE W.5 GLEAVES, b. about 1830, Tennessee. Notes for GEORGE W. GLEAVES: A George W. Gleaves is listed in the International Genealogical Index as marrying a woman named Mary Ann Turner in Davidson County on February 4, 1857. More research is needed here. 48. ii. THOMAS H. GLEAVES, b.

July 23, 1867, Davidson County, Tennessee. Notes for RICHARD FRANKLIN GLEAVES: Richard first appears as a witness to a will drawn up by Fredrich Binkley in 1857. Fredrich was the father-in-law of Nancy Emiline Gleaves, a distant cousin. Richard's own will was written July 21, 1867, two days before he died. It is recorded in Davidson County. He is buried in the Gleaves Family Cemetery, Jones Bend, Tennessee. His headstone provides the dates spanning his life. iv. FELIX C. GLEAVES, b. December 26, 1834, Hermitage, Davidson County, Tennessee; d. May 29, 1836, Hermitage, Davidson County, Tennessee. Notes for FELIX C. GLEAVES: Felix is buried in the Gleaves Family Cemetery, Jones Bend, Tennessee. His headstone lists him as dying before his second birthday. v. CATHERINE E. GLEAVES, b. August 1837, Tennessee; m. W.H. THAXTON, November 13, 1856, Davidson County, Tennessee. vi. JONATHAN B. GLEAVES, b. about 1839, Tennessee. vii. MARTHA GLEAVES, b. about 1842, Tennessee. viii. FINIS C. GLEAVES, b. March 12, 1846, Hermitage, Davidson County, Tennessee; d. October 12, 1849, Hermitage, Davidson County, Tennessee. Notes for FINIS C. GLEAVES: Finis also died very young. He is buried in the Gleaves Family Cemetery, Jones Bend, Tennessee. His headstone is the only record of his life. 13. ELIZABETH4 GLEAVES (THOMAS3, WILLIAM2, MATTHEW1 GLAVES, SR.) was born 1803 in Davidson County, Tennessee, and died June 23, 1833 in Davidson County, Tennessee. She married ROBERT S. HILL December 15, 1825 in Davidson County, Tennessee. He was born May 06, 1801 in Virginia, and died about 1870 in Boone, Arkansas. Notes for ELIZABETH GLEAVES: Spouse and marriage data found in Lafayette County Marriages on Ancestry.com. The date of Elizabeth's death appears to be inaccurate. Glen Hitt reports that Robert and Elizabeth appear in the 1850 Davidson County Census. Children of ELIZABETH GLEAVES and ROBERT HILL are: i. PEYTON R.5 HILL, b. November 10, 1828; d. September 30, 1846, Tennessee. Notes for PEYTON R. HILL: The only record of Peyton is a marker in a cemetery in Davidson County located on the north side of Old Hickory Boulevard and Central Pike. The cemetery is located next to the Burning Tree Apartment Complex. The marker reads "Peyton R. s/o Robert s. & Elizabeth Hill". ii. THOMAS PHILLIP HILL, b. April 13, 1844, Davidson County, Tennessee; d. February 13, 1890, Fannin County, Texas; m. CATHERINE DUKE, September 26, 1867, Independence County, Arkansas; b. March 06, 1844, Tennessee; d. February 13, 1928, Houston, Texas. Notes for THOMAS PHILLIP HILL: This child may be in error since his birth-date is given as occurring after Elizabeth died. 14. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN4 GLEAVES (THOMAS3, WILLIAM2, MATTHEW1 GLAVES, SR.) was born About 1818 in Davidson County, Tennessee, and died before 1892 in Williamson County, Tennessee. He married (1) JANE S. CROCKETT January 20, 1848 in Williamson County, Tennessee, daughter of JOSEPH CROCKETT and MARY UNKNOWN. She was born about 1828 in Tennessee, and died June 1852 in Williamson County, Tennessee. He married (2) RUTH SELINA WILSON, "REBECCA" November 08, 1855 in Williamson County, Tennessee, daughter of SAMUEL WILSON and ELIZA HERBERT. She was born about 1831, and died after 1892. Notes for BENJAMIN FRANKLIN GLEAVES: Both of Benjamin's marriages are listed in Early Middle Tennessee Marriages. Benjamin and his brothers, Americus and Felix all served in Hill's Company of the 1st Tennessee Infantry during the Cherokee War 1836-39. This was a unit of volunteers. On September 17, 1892, his widow, Ruth S. Wilson filed for a pension (Widow's Certificate #859). Index to Indian Wars Pension Files 1892-1926 Benjamin is listed with wife Jane Crockett Gleaves in the 1850 Census for Davidson County. In 1860 he and his second wife, Ruth are listed along with four children from both marriages. Benjamin appears in Williamson County, Tennessee court records several times during 1856-57. In two instances, the litigation concerns the estates of his two deceased father-in-laws. He appears in the 1870 Census living in Dickson County. There is conflicting evidence that the name of Benjamin's second wife was Ruth Wilson Fortson. This could mean that she was previously married to a Mr. Fortson. Children of BENJAMIN GLEAVES and JANE CROCKETT are: i. SARAH JANE5 GLEAVES, b. April 1850. Notes for SARAH JANE GLEAVES: Sarah is listed in the 1850 and 1860 Davidson County Censuses with her parents and siblings. She is recorded in the 1900 Williamson County Census as "Jane Gleaves (Miss)" which suggests that she never married. ii. ANDREW C. GLEAVES, b. about 1852; m. MATTIE E. FRASH, August 14, 1879, Davidson County, Tennessee. Notes for ANDREW C. GLEAVES: The source of Andrew's marriage information is the Nashville Historical Index. The groom is identified as "A.C. Gleaves". Children of BENJAMIN GLEAVES and RUTH WILSON are: 49. iii. SAMUELLA H.5 GLEAVES, "SAMMIE", b. 1856, Tennessee; d. after 1900. iv. ELIZA MAY GLEAVES, b. 1859. Notes for ELIZA MAY GLEAVES: Information on Eliza is undocumented from Ancestry.com. 15. STEPHEN4 PORTER (MARY MARTHA3 GLEAVES, "POLLY", WILLIAM2, MATTHEW1 GLAVES, SR.) was born after 1790, and died 1883. He married MARGARET MCNUTT. Child of STEPHEN PORTER and MARGARET MCNUTT is: 50. i. MALVINA5 PORTER, b. 1842; d. 1883. 16. MARGARET4 PORTER, "PEGGY" (MARY MARTHA3 GLEAVES, "POLLY", WILLIAM2, MATTHEW1 GLAVES, SR.) was born August 02, 1795 in Wythe County, Virginia, and died 1870 in Sugar Grove, Smyth County, Virginia. She married JOHN SCOTT August 29, 1816 in Wythe County, Virginia, son of JAMES SCOTT and RACHEL UNKNOWN. He was born before 1800, and died after 1826 in Sugar Grove, Smyth County, Virginia. Notes for JOHN SCOTT: The 1815 Wythe County, Virginia Tax Assessment lists John as the co-owner of a 253 acre farm with his older brother William Scott. The farm was located "on the waters of Cripple Creek". William married Margaret's sister, Elizabeth. John eventually moved and became a farmer in the Rye Valley of Smyth County, Virginia. Child of MARGARET PORTER and JOHN SCOTT is: i. JAMES ANDREW5 SCOTT, b. September 22, 1826. 17. THOMAS H.4 GLEAVES (WILLIAM3, WILLIAM2, MATTHEW1 GLAVES, SR.) was born July 18, 1803 in Wythe County, Virginia, and died March 15, 1865 in Lafayette County, Missouri. He married ELENOR W. EWING December 22, 1825 in Lafayette County, Missouri, daughter of CHATHAM EWING. She was born April 27, 1806 in Kentucky, and died May 21, 1856 in Lafayette County, Missouri. Notes for THOMAS H. GLEAVES: Thomas' birth-date and location are from International Genealogical Index. Thomas appears to have moved to Lafayette County, Missouri with his mother and her relatives after the death of his father. The exact date of the move is unknown, although it appears to have been around 1820. His marriage to Elenor Ewing is listed in Missouri Marriages to 1850. A number of researchers list Thomas' middle name as Harvey. These two pictures are believed to be of Thomas and Elanor. They were the first photographs in their daughter's album. Louisa Gleave-Roberts Album Abstracts of the wills of both of Elenor's parents, Chatham (1839) and Elizabeth (1842) mention Elenor by name. Abstracts of Wills, Lafayette County, Missouri An abstract of Elenor's (Known as Ellen) obituary states the following: "Ellen W. Gleves, consort of T.H., one of the oldest residents of Lafayette Co.; daughter of the late Chatham Ewing, who emigrated 1821. Married 1825, had ten children, 8 living. Cumberland Presbyterian." Lexington Citizen June 4, 1856 No State or Country of origin is given. It appears she came to Missouri with her father, since she would have been 15 at the time. The date of her marriage would have made her about 19 years old when she became Thomas' wife. During the period of 1825-33, Thomas patented at least five tracts of land from the federal government under the Cash Entry Act of 1820. The five parcels totaled 480 acres and all were located in Lafayette County. The prices of the purchases are not listed, although the deeds still exist and may be found online in Bureau of Land Management records. Family researcher BJ Fischer, reports that both Thomas and Ellen are buried in a Gleaves Family Cemetery located northwest of Odessa, Missouri. "These tombstones were found with a bulldozer in 1981 and had apparently been underground many years. Thomas H. 18 Jul 1803 - 15 Mar 1865, Ellen W. wf. T.H. 27 Apr 1806 - 21 May 1856." Thomas is reported to have died intestate. Birth-dates for all their known children are found in the 1850 Missouri Census. Children of THOMAS GLEAVES and ELENOR EWING are: i.

Notes for ENDOTICA GLEAVES: Endotica is buried in the family cemetery in Lafayette County. Her birth and death information comes from her tombstone. It does not appear that she was ever married, since she was only 15 at the time of her death. v. MARGARET FINLEY GLEAVES, b. January 10, 1839, Lafayette County, Missouri; d.

Notes for MARGARET FINLEY GLEAVES: Margaret's birth-date is questionable since she would have been only 10 years old when she married. The 1850 census doesn't list Margaret Finley Gleaves, but she would have been married before it was conducted. Lafayette County Obituaries 1891-1920 list a Margaret Campbell, daughter of Thomas Gleaves b. 1-10-1839 d. 8-24-1905.

GUY TRIGG4 GLEAVES (ABSALOM3, WILLIAM2, MATTHEW1 GLAVES, SR.) was born 1814 in Tennessee, and died 1867 in Mt. Juliet, Wilson County, Tennessee. He married (1) HARRIET H. HARDY September 26, 1836 in Wilson County, Tennessee, daughter of WILLIAM HARDY and CATHERINE UKNOWN. She was born August 26, 1817, and died June 21, 1849 in Wilson County, Tennessee. He married (2) JULIA A. JENNINGS September 29, 1851 in Wilson County, Tennessee, daughter of CLEM JENNINGS and ELIZABETH BENNETT. She was born July 24, 1817 in Sumner County, Tennessee, and died September 13, 1885 in Mt. Juliet, Wilson County, Tennessee. Notes for GUY TRIGG GLEAVES: Biographical Sketch of Guy Trigg & Julia Jennings-Glaves "The legend persists that Mt. Juliet derived its name from Miss Julia Gleaves, and the "Mount" on which she lived in her latter days, one-half mile south of the present city of Mt. Juliet. Julia Jennings was born July 24, 1817 near Cedar Lick Creek and the Cumberland River, the daughter of Clem and Elizabeth (Bennett) Jennings. Clem and his brother Richard had come to Tennessee very early from Prince Edward County, Virginia. The Bennetts had settled across the river in Sumner County. Julia first married James H. Baird, a member of a wealthy family in District 24, Wilson County. His father was Andrew and his grandfather was Zebulon. Julia and James had one son, William, born in 1838. James died when the child was very young. The 1850 census shows Julia and her son living alone in District 24. It also shows Guy Trigg Gleaves living with four young children in District 25. His first wife, Harriet Hardy, died in 1847. Not long after 1850 Julia and Guy were married and they lived in the Gleaves home in Old Mt. Juliet on the south side of the Stagecoach Road (now known as the Old Lebanon Dirt Road). The house was still standing in 1985. Their first child, Jimmy, was born in 1852 and died in 1853. There were three other children - Micah Ann, Ben and Jesse. In 1859 Julia and Guy Trigg Gleaves deeded the land where she had formerly lived to her son William. In 1861 William, having joined the Confederate Army, made his will leaving his land to his half-sister and half-brothers and a young cousin. A year later, Dec. 13, 1862, he was killed at the battle of Fredericksburg, Virginia. His mother sent a wagon and brought his body home to be buried near his father, James Baird. His grandfather, Andrew Baird, was buried there the next year. Nearby was his half-brother, Jimmy. Only five years later his stepfather, Guy Trigg Gleaves, was also buried there. During the Civil war Miss Julia gained a reputation as a "guardian angel" in the little community, helping the sick and needy. She and her husband operated a store near their home and it is said that they never turned away anyone because they could not pay. Guy Trigg Gleaves' will was probated in 1868, and Julia was again a widow with young children to care for alone. Mr. Gleaves was a wealthy man for that time, owning some property in downtown Nashville as well as a sizeable estate in Mt. Juliet. When the railroad was built, about 1870, Julia's daughter Micah Ann married Jasper Tabler, the doctor for the railroad construction company. Almost twenty years after the death of her husband, Julia died at the age of 78. Both Micah Ann and her husband Jasper Tabler are buried there, as is Julia's son Ben and others of the family. The cemetery is on the "Mount" which overlooks Mt. Juliet and is itself a fitting monument to our "Miss Julie". West Wilson Neighbors Guy and his first wife, Harriet Hardy are documented through census records. Her father's will, dated May of 1850, mentions Guy and four of their children. Harriet is buried in the Hardy-Harkreader Family Cemetery in Mt. Juliet. Her headstone reads; "Harriett H. Gleaves Aug. 26, 1817 - June 21, 1849, Consort of G.T. Gleaves, A member of the Methodist Episcopal Church". Julia is buried in the Gleaves-Tabler Cemetery along with the families of one of her sons, Ben and daughter Micah Ann. Guy T. is buried in the Baird-Barton Cemetery on South Rutland Road in Wilson County. Children of GUY GLEAVES and HARRIET HARDY are: 54. i. JAMES W.5 GLEAVES, b. about 1838, Wilson County, Tennessee; d. ater 1883. ii. CATHERINE J. GLEAVES, b. About 1841, Wilson County, Tennessee; m. JARVIS M. COOK, February 15, 1860, Wilson County, Tennessee. Notes for CATHERINE J. GLEAVES: Catherine appears in the 1850 census with her father, but is not listed in 1860. She may have married and moved away by that time. The will of a Catherine Gleaves was probated in Davidson County on June 20, 1866, although without researching it, this author cannot be positive that it refers to this individual. A lawsuit filed by James P. Wright on March 1, 1869, regarding her father's estate, lists her married name as Cook. Catherine's marriage to Jarvis Cook appears on a Wilson County website. iii. MARGARET JARMAN GLEAVES, "MAGGIE", b. 1843, Wilson County, Tennessee; d. ater 1903; m. (1) ALFRED A. ADAMS, November 25, 1863, Davidson County, Tennessee; b. before 1848; d. before 1870; m. (2) WILLIAM HARRISON DOAK, 1870; b. 1828, Wilson County, Tennessee; d. 1903, Wilson County, Tennessee. Notes for MARGARET JARMAN GLEAVES, "MAGGIE": Margaret appears in the 1850 and 1860 Wilson County Census living with her family. Margaret was added to the Membership Rolls of New Hope Baptist Church in 1861. Many of the founding members of this church were from the James Robertson Gleaves family, cousins several times removed. History of New Hope Baptist Church Maggie's first marriage to Alfred Adams is listed in Early Middle Tennessee Marriages. Margaret Jarman Gleaves-Doak who filed a Confederate Widow's pension application #4765 shortly after 1900. The application states that she was born in Wilson County in 1843 and her husband William in the same county in 1828. They were married in Wilson County in 1870. This was Maggie's second marriage as she was the widow of Alfred Adams at the time. William died in 1903. The marriage is listed in the International Genealogical Index as well. A second application #07846 was filed some years later suggesting that the first application was not successful. More research is needed to confirm this connection. Tennessee Confederate Widows iv. JOHN W. GLEAVES, b. about 1845. v. E.J. GLEAVES, b. before 1850. Notes for E.J. GLEAVES: There is some doubt as to whether this is a child born to Guy and Harriet. This may be the Edward Gleaves who served as a private in Company D of the 30th Tennessee Infantry Regiment in 1862. He is listed as being in the hospital at Clarksville when Ft. Donelson was surrendered. He is listed as coming from Sumner County. www.tngenweb.usit.com/sumner An Ed Gleaves is listed in the International Genealogical Index as marrying Mary Robertson on 12/28/1876 in Dickson County, Tennessee, although this is the location settled by the Michael Gleaves line.

Notes for TAVEL GLEAVES: An entry under Wills & Inventories is recorded in Wilson County Court records on January 13, 1874. The entry is "Tavel Gleaves Inventory" which suggests that he died sometime about 1873. People of Wilson County 22.

Yet another account has the date of birth as 3/15/1803. A second report on Hiram's death has the location being Scott County, Illinois. Nancy's father was against her marriage to Hiram, so he cut her out of the will. Biographical Sketch of Hiram K. Turk "Hiram was a tanner by trade. He began his life with no inheritance and by his own industry and sacrifice had an estate worth $9,000 which he left to his children.

"James is first found in census records in Callaway County, Missouri in 1840, shortly after his marriage and again in 1850. In April of 1852, James and family joined three other families in a wagon train to San Jose, California, the total party numbering forty-four. A detailed account of their five-month trip was later written by their son, Newton Gleaves Finley. James' wife, Margaret Jane, became ill with mountain fever on the trip, left the party at Stockton and went by ambulance to Santa Clara where she died shortly before the arrival of the rest of the party. She is buried in one of the first graves in Santa Clara Cemetery. James, with seven children under the age of 13, lost little time in finding another wife, Rebecca McCoy. They are found in the 1860 census of Santa Clara with all the family still intact, (except Sarah who had probably married by then), plus three more children of their own. James died 2 May 1865 in San Jose, Santa Clara County." Children of JAMES FINLEY and MARGARET CAMPBELL are: 63. i. NEWTON GLEAVES5 FINLEY, b. March 05, 1841, Saline County, Missouri; d.

Portraits of Wythe County, Virginia Notes for SAMUEL CROCKETT GLEAVES: Biographical Sketch of Samuel Crockett Gleaves "SAMUEL CROCKETT GLEAVES - physician and surgeon, is the son of James Turk Gleaves, who was born in Wythe County, of a family early seated in the county and honorably identified with its history. James T. Gleaves was a soldier in the 1812 war, ranking as captain, until promoted major, commanding troops stationed at Norfolk. He served a number of terms in the Virginia legislature, and was often solicited to run for senate and congress, but declined, preferring the comforts and privacy of home life. He married Melvina Crockett, and both are now deceased, his death occurring in 1862 and hers in 1870. Their son, subject of this sketch, was born at Cripple Creek, Wythe County, October 12, 1823, and his first marriage was to Maria L. Crockett, who died March 23, 1878. They had three sons, now ably filling distinguished positions: James Lucian, A.M., M.D., born November 12, 1852; Charles Wythe, A.M., M.D., born August 13, 1855; Taylor, A.M., Civil Engineer, born May 27, 1860. In Mobile, Alabama, June 6, 1883, Dr. Gleaves wedded Fannie D., daughter of Edmund S. and Roxanna (Brock) Dragan. She was born in Mobile in 1845; her mother, born in Georgia, is now living in Mobile; her father, a native of North Carolina, is deceased. Samuel C. Gleaves was graduated from the Pennsylvania Medical University, April 17, 1848, and has ever since devoted himself to the duties of the profession he had chosen. In 1875, he was president of the State Medical Society, in 1880, he was appointed director of the Medical College, in 1883 of the Western Lunatic Asylum. During the years of the war he was surgeon of the 45th Infantry, and medical director of the Confederate States Army. He has his residence and post office address at Wytheville, Wythe County, Virginia." Biographical Sketches of Wythe County, Virginia In 1888, J.N. Cross, who served as a Captain in the Seventh Ohio Infantry read a paper before a veteran's organization in Minnesota. His text dealt with the battle of Kessler's Cross Lanes, a relatively minor encounter in August of 1861, near Charleston, West Virginia. Captain Cross was wounded in the shoulder and captured by Confederate troops under General Floyd. "At the cross-roads the rebel surgeon-general, Dr. Gleaves, of Wytheville, Virginia, of Floyd's army, took a silk hankerchief from his pocket, tied it to my silk hankerchief, and made a sling for my arm. The next day I offered him the hankerchief, but he said that I needed it, and told me to keep it till he called for it, which I have done, though I am taking steps to return it to his family. My mother kept it as long as she lived, as showing what a kind-hearted enemy might do on the battle-field." Glimpses of the Nation's Struggle After Samuel's death, his second wife, Fannie returned to Mobile, Alabama where she was listed in the City Directory in 1891 and 1892.

ROBERT HARVEY4 GLEAVES (JAMES TURK3, WILLIAM2, MATTHEW1 GLAVES, SR.) was born January 30, 1836 in Cripple Creek, Wythe County, Virginia, and died January 17, 1901 in Cripple Creek, Wythe County, Virginia. He married JULIA K. BENBOW January 27, 1876 in Guilford County, North Carolina, daughter of JESSIE BENBOW and ANNA CLARK. She was born July 30, 1852 in Guilford County, North Carolina, and died after 1931. Notes for ROBERT HARVEY GLEAVES: Biographical Sketch of Robert H. Gleaves "Robert H. and George Wythe Gleaves - are sons of James T. and Melvina (Crockett) Gleaves, who lived and died in Wythe County. Their mother was closely related to Davy Crockett, of border annals. On their father's side they are of a family represented on the battlefields of Virginia for three generations. Their grandfather, William Gleaves, was a lieutenant under General Greene in the Revolutionary War, their father was an ensign in the 1812 War and stationed at Norfolk, and five of his sons enrolled their names for the defense of Virginia in the late war. Robert H. enlisted at Wytheville, May 29, 1861 and served one year as Captain of Company D, 45 Virginia Infantry. At Saltville, in July, 1862, he re-enlisted, Captain of Company E, 21st Virginia Cavalry, and served until discharged for ill health at Greenville, in 1864. . Robert H. fought at Parisburg, Rogersville, Blue Springs, Greenville, Henderson Mill, Bluntville, Carter Station and Wytheville. Of the other brothers, Dr.S.C. was surgeon of the 45th Infantry, James T. was sergeant of the Wythe Greys 4th Infantry, and died at Winchester, december 17, 1861, from exposure, Andrew J. was in the Home guards, and died of disease contracted in the line of duty. In Guilford County, North Carolina, January 27, 1876 Robert H. Gleaves married Julia K. Benbow. He was born in Wythe County, January 30, 1836 and she was born in the county where her marriage occured. July 30, 1852 was the date of her birth and their children were born: James T. May 8, 1878; Anna M., March 30, 1880; Robert Lee, May 3, 1882; Jessie Lilian, March 12, 1884. Jessie and Anna Clark Benbow of Guilford County are the parents of Mrs. R. H. Gleaves. The father of Mr. Gleaves served in the Virginia legislature for several terms, and was for a number of years presiding justice of the Wythe County court. BiographicalSketches of Wythe County, Virginia A series of books on individual Confederate regiments from Virginia provide some additional information on Robert. His occupation is listed as "a farmer" when he first enlisted in the 4th Virginia Infantry Regiment. He enlisted on the day that Virginia voted to secede from the Union. He left that unit after only one month to form the "Wythe County Minute Men" which became Company D of the 45th Infantry. His service in the 21st Virginia Cavalry appears to have been with another company of men he recruited. The unit did not have a letter designation but rather is referred to in Unit's history as "Robert H. Gleaves Company". The company appears to have been disbanded with troopers transferring to other companies in the Regiment about the time he was discharged for ill health. An additional note on his service states that his death in 1901 was due to pneumonia. After his death, Julia filed for a Confederate Widow's Pension. It appears to have been granted in 1931. Robert is buried in the family cemetery on Cripple Creek and this author assumes that Julia is as well. Children of ROBERT GLEAVES and JULIA BENBOW are: i. JAMES T.5 GLEAVES, b.

Davis provided the information on Nathaniel and also reports that this couple had seven children. Child of SARAH GLEAVES and NATHANIEL DAVIS is: i. FIELDING GOOLSBY6 DAVIS, b. March 08, 1851. 32. THOMAS BENJAMIN5 GLEAVES, "BLUNT" (WILLIAM B.4, THOMAS3, WILLIAM2, MATTHEW1 GLAVES, SR.) was born October 09, 1836 in Williamson County, Tennessee, and died March 11, 1911 in Roger Mills County, Oklahoma. He married (1) LUCINDA WRIGHT about 1860 in Dyer County, Tennessee, daughter of JASON WRIGHT and MARY UNKNOWN. She was born about 1834 in Tennessee. He married (2) NANCY ANN BURNHAM September 19, 1866 in Dyer County, Tennessee. She was born 1844 in Tennessee, and died February 24, 1912 in Roger Mills County, Oklahoma. Notes for THOMAS BENJAMIN GLEAVES, "BLUNT": The following draws heavily on research provided by Jean Gleaves and Lois D. Gleaves. There are conflicting reports regarding Thomas' birthdate. The date of birth for his brother Felix brings the most frequently reported date of birth (1830) into question and most likely it is actually 1836. He is listed in the 1850 Census Record for Williamson County, Tennessee living with his parents as "T, 14 years old". Thomas married twice. The first marriage was to Lucinda Wright. No record of the marriage has been found and may have been destroyed when the county courthouse was burned down during the Civil War. They had at least three children. Lucinda appears to have been married to a man named Alfred Jones before she married Thomas. It appears that she was double counted in the 1860 Dyer County, Tennessee census. "Lucinda Jones" is listed as living with her parents and later that same year is recorded as "Lucinda Gleaves wife of T. B. Gleaves: married within the year". Family oral history states that Lucinda was killed on August 14, 1864. She is reported to have been shot by someone on horseback that was aiming at Thomas. An infant son she was holding was also killed. The location of this incident is unknown to this author. The report states that Thomas left his remaining sons with family and followed Lucinda's killer to the Oklahoma panhandle where he hung the man. This incident would have occurred during the Civil War but it is unclear if it was related to this conflict. We do know that Thomas was at odds with the Confederacy and shortly after his return from Oklahoma, was pursued by troops, escaping by hiding in a hollow log. He eventually moved north and on March 25, 1865 enlisted in the Union Army in Chicago, Illinois. He was medically discharged three months later due to an aneurysm of the aorta of the stomach. Thomas returned to Tennessee after the war and married Nancy Ann Burnham on September 19, 1866. Nancy is reported to have been of Choctaw decent and spoke little English. It is reported that hardly anyone could understand her. Thomas' marriage to Nancy Burnham is recorded in the International Genealogical Index. Thomas & Nancy Burnham-Gleaves (date of photograph, unknown) Shortly after the birth of their first child in 1867, Thomas and Nancy headed west. For the majority of the next 20 years, they lived at various times in Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas and Oklahoma. The growing family finally settled in the Grimes, Oklahoma area around 1890 and in 1908 Thomas won the right to homestead 160 acres in Roger Mills County (Application #18589 and Homestead Certificate #306). It is reported that they built a sod house on the farm and lived there until the bank foreclosed on the property. Thomas had mortgaged the property for $300.00 to finance his youngest son's move to California. The son never repaid the loan and Thomas and Nancy were forced to live their last years in the home of their daughter, Minnie. Thomas died on March 4, 1911 and Nancy the following February. Thomas and Nancy are both buried in the Brookside Cemetery near Grimes, Oklahoma. Children of THOMAS GLEAVES and LUCINDA WRIGHT are: 68. i. JOHN ELLY6 GLEAVES, b.

He married ANNA RIDLEY, "ANNIE" July 24, 1866 in Davidson County, Tennessee, daughter of MOSES RIDLEY and MARY BAKER. She was born December 10, 1843, and died July 07, 1876 in Davidson County, Tennessee. Notes for JOHN BELL GLEAVES: John's marriage is listed in the International Genealogical Index; no details are given. This is the source of Annie's maiden name. John appears to have been a Civil War veteran. There is a J.B. Gleaves listed as serving in the 20th Tennessee Infantry Regiment. The Regiment consisted of units raised in Wilson, Sumner and several other counties. A second J.B. Gleaves, from Dyer County, Tennessee, was in the 4th Infantry Regiment. This, as yet unconnected family member, died of wounds received in the Battle of Perryville. Roster of Confederate Soldiers 1861-1865 Some researchers list John as the son of John G. Gleaves and Elizabeth Curd. John G. is reported here as the uncle of our subject. John and his children appear in the 1880 Davidson County Census. John and Annie are buried in a family plot in Davidson County. The plot is located on Mill Road, near the intersection of I-40 and Old Hickory Boulevard, about a mile west of the Wilson County line. The birth and death dates of the couple are from the headstones in this cemetery. Children of JOHN GLEAVES and ANNA RIDLEY are: 74. i. BETTIE6 GLEAVES, b. about 1868. ii. MARY GLEAVES, b.

He died as a prisinor at Camp Butler, (Near Springfield, Illinois) on May 24, 1862." 30th Tennessee Regiment Records on the Internet Mary does not appear to have remarried after James was killed in the Civil War since her headstone lists her as "Mary Alice Gleaves". Her grave is located in the Clement-Gleaves Cemetery in the Hermitage area. The marker gives her date of death as September 1922 and states that she was 75 years old. This would mean she was born in 1847, making her only 10 years old when she married James. The 1860 census lists her as 18 at the time, with a young son. This would mean that she was born about 1842, unless she lied about her age. Mary's son Monroe is also buried at this site. Children of JAMES GLEAVES and MARY BAKER are: 92. i.

Notes for NEWTON GLEAVES FINLEY: The following information on this Family Group comes from notes by Carmen Finley. "Newton was but 11 years old when the family made the five month trek by wagon train from Missouri to California. An impressionable age, the memoirs of that trip he wrote seventy years later, were amazingly detailed and a testament to his alertness in his eighties. The eight-page account, written in 1922, was preserved by family members and submitted to the Family History Center in Salt Lake City in 1981 by Dr. Alton Lovell Alderman. Newton, a farm laborer, was first found in California records in the 1860 census living with the rest of the family in Santa Clara County. He attended Pacific University (now College of the Pacific) for two years, but left due to failing health. His first marriage to Mary Elizabeth Hicks ended with her death in 1872. He remarried Kate Rowena (Minnie) Dozier in 1874. During much of that time he worked as salesman, yard foreman and bookkeeper for the Pacific Manufacturing Company founded by his brother, John Pettis Finley. However, they soon moved north to the Santa Rosa area where his older brother, William Asa, had relocated a couple of years earlier. Described as a "pioneer prune grower," by family members, He had chosen the very location where Luther Burbank was conducting his plant breeding experiments. Newton appeared in the Great Register of Sonoma County from 1884 through 1896, which gives his physical description in 1892 as "5'11" tall, fair complexion, gray eyes, brown hair, scar on left cheek." After their children completed high school, the family moved to Berkeley about 1899 where the children both graduated from the University of California at Berkeley (1902 and 1903) About 1902, Newton moved back to Santa Clara County where he died in 1933. Rowena remained in Berkeley with her daughter, Edna. In November 1926, Rowena was hospitalized at Agnew State Hospital in Santa Clara, where she died 28 December."

He married LENA PARRISH November 18, 1880 in Davidson County, Tennessee. She was born June 1857. Notes for JAMES THOMAS GLEAVES: Biographical Sketch of James T. Gleaves "PROVIDENTIALLY, HIS FERVENT PRAYER-to live to see the end of World War II-was granted. The afternoon of the day before he died, word came to "Jim T." (as friends and neighbors knew him) that the Japanese were signing the Surrender. "I'm glad it's over," he exclaimed. the valediction surely among his closing utterances. Before the Revolution the Gleaves ancestry had been Virginians. William Gleaves' son, Thomas (1771-1849) of Cripple Creek, Wythe County, Virginia, had married on Mar. 13, 1797, Sarah "Sally" Smith (1776-1848)- Their second son, James Robertson Gleaves (Mar. 13, 1799-Dec. 9, 1865), of Davidson County, Tennessee, had married on Jan. 12,1823, Elizabeth "Liza" Wood (Oct. 16, 1806-Oct. 25, 1872). The second of their twelve children, Robert Hughes Gleaves (Feb. 12, 1825-Mar. 24, 1853) married Mary T. Baker in April 1844. James, the first of their three, grew up with a sister, Anna Retta Gleaves (1847-1864) and a brother, Robert Graves Gleaves (1852-1926). James was born ten miles east of Nashville near Donelson. Their father died while they were rather young. Within three months of being eighteen, James joined the C.S.A. by enlisting in the Ninth Kentucky Cavalry; with them he served as a scout under John Hunt Morgan. Pvt. Gleaves was in the Battle of Chattanooga, where he caught a bullet in his left arm. "It was about spent and didn't go in very far, so I just pulled it out with my fingers." He was also in an action at Murfreesboro-not the huge Stone River blood bath, but one of the contests there in December 1864. Pvt. Gleaves' tour included three months in a federal prison camp where he contracted typhoid fever and, fortunately was sent home. Doctors agreed that his death was certain if he remained in the camp. Sensibly, he took the oath of allegiance, thus greatly improving his time on earth. Ambitious for an education, having had but a token smattering of country schooling, James worked at day labor during 1865-67 to save money for tuition at the Lynnwood schools. Not content with this learning, he went on to graduate from Cumberland University at Lebanon, about 1872. For six years he taught in the schools of Mt. Juliet, Snow Creek and Hartsville. One of his personal treasures that he still had at age 100 was a medal awarded him for outstanding work in Latin and Greek. As a pastime, he often recited New Testament verses, first in English then in Greek. In the late 1870s Mr. Gleaves became a traveling salesman summers; handling groceries, baking powder and candy, he sold his line in some thirty states. Other longtime employers were Burns Brothers of Nashville, Stark Brothers Nursery and Morris and White. He retired in 1910. In 1927 he began drawing his Tennessee Confederate pension. By the early 1940s this monthly allowance was up to $100-a little more than average at that time. Much of his senior life "Jim T." lived near Mt. Juliet, east of Nashville, being somewhat of a loner. After 1937 he lived with the Emmett Castlemans of Stewart's Ferry Pike not far from The Hermitage, homestead of Andrew Jackson. During his last seven years "Jim T. lived in a special two-room cottage that Emmett built for him on their lawn, a kind of mini-Hermitage. But he took his meals and a measure of socializing with his benefactors as usual." The South's Last Boys in Gray Children of JAMES GLEAVES and LENA PARRISH are: i. LYDA W.7 GLEAVES, b. May 1882. ii. JESSIE FLORENCE GLEAVES, b. February 03, 1887, Tennessee; d. October 14, 1985, Nashville, Davidson County, Tennessee. Notes for JESSIE FLORENCE GLEAVES: Jessie is listed in the Social Security Death Index. She is listed under her maiden name, which may mean she never married. Her obituary appeared in the Nashville Tennessean on October 16, 1985. The entry confirms her marital status when it identifies her as "Miss". Tennessee State Library and Archives Jessie's father "Jim T." lived to be 100 years of age and she almost caught him, passing away at 98. 119. iii. JAMES BARTLETT GLEAVES, b. January 12, 1889; d. June 1971, Nashville, Davidson County, Tennessee. 81. ROBERT GROVE6 GLEAVES (ROBERT HUGHES5, JAMES ROBERTSON4, THOMAS3, WILLIAM2, MATTHEW1 GLAVES, SR.) was born January 11, 1852 in Wilson County, Tennessee, and died March 02, 1928 in Greenbrier, Tennessee.

He married (2) MILDRED HANNIE UNKNOWN after 1884. She was born about 1856 in Tennessee, and died after 1920. Notes for ROBERT GROVE GLEAVES: Robert G. Gleaves was added to the membership rolls of New Hope Baptist Church in 1868. A "Robert R. Gleaves" appears in the church minutes in 1852 and may be a reference to Robert's birth although the middle initial is different. History of New Hope Baptist Church "Robert was a farmer and later became an undertaker. His father died when he was about one year old." The Search for James T. Gleaves, Middle Tennessee Journal of Genealogy & History Robert and Alice are listed in the Davidson County marriage records. There are some reports listing his middle name as "Graves". It appears that Robert was married more than once. He is listed in the 1900 Census as living in Robertson County, Tennessee and his wife is recorded under the name "Hannie". The 1920 Robertson County Census lists Robert married to a women named "Mildred H." The "H" could be the name of the woman in the 1900 census. Living with them is a daughter named Florence. Davidson County marriage records list a Robert G. Gleaves marrying a woman named Amanda Evans on June 2, 1886. A third marriage in the same county has a "Robert G." marrying a woman named "Carrie Stem?" on January 20, 1891. Children of ROBERT GLEAVES and ALICE BROOKS are: i. MYRTLE7 GLEAVES, b. about 1878; m.

Notes for FLORENCE GLEAVES: There is Florence listed in the Social Security Death Index. If this is the same person, it would mean that she never married. 82. JACKSON MONROE6 GLEAVES (JOHN ROBERTSON5, JAMES ROBERTSON4, THOMAS3, WILLIAM2, MATTHEW1 GLAVES, SR.) was born May 28, 1846 in Davidson County, Tennessee, and died 1928 in Trousdale County, Tennessee. He married MOLLIE PAYNE 1887 in Trousdale County, Tennessee. She was born 1859 in Trousdale County, Tennessee, and died after 1928. Notes for JACKSON MONROE GLEAVES: Jackson is identified with his parents in the 1850 & 1860 Census for Wilson County. He served in Company H of the 38th Tennessee Infantry Regiment during the Civil War although he is listed as "James M.". His father served in the same company. He was wounded on August 30, 1862 at the battle of Perryville, Kentucky. He was discharged on January 28, 1863 because he was under age. He would have been 17 at the time. Sumner County, Tennessee in the Civil War Vol. II Trousdale County, Tennessee was created from portions of Wilson and Sumner, in 1870. Jackson was elected Sheriff of the new county, serving from 1876 until 1882. Trousdale County History Jackson and his family are listed in the 1900 Census living in Trousdale County. He is recorded as "James M. Gleaves". After his death, his widow Mollie applied for a Confederate Widow's pension #10010.

He married EVA NELSON August 20, 1918 in Madill, Marshall County, Oklahoma, daughter of WILLIAM NELSON and ELIZA SONS. She was born November 16, 1897 in Helen, Indian Territory, Oklahoma, and died December 22, 1999 in Madill, Marshall County, Oklahoma. Notes for LAWRENCE GLEAVES: Lawrence's family group comes from a file found on Kindred Konnections. He is also listed in the Social Security Death Index. Eva Gleaves 100th Birthday MADILL -- Eva Gleaves has many reasons to celebrate -- namely, 36,507 of them. The Madill resident celebrated her 100th birthday Nov. 16 with family and friends at the Creekmore Masonic Lodge in Madill. Reminiscing about her long life, Gleaves shared stories her mother told her of her grandmother spinning and weaving cloths to help keep the family warm, the time their horses were stolen by Yankee soldiers during the Civil War and of the time the family moved to Texas and her mother fell in love with a boy whose parents opposed the marriage. Gleaves was one of nine children. The family lived in Texas for a time before they moved to Oklahoma and lived in a log cabin. Later they moved to Helen, now known as Kingston, and farmed there, where her father often forded the Red River to Denison, Texas, to bring groceries to the Willis Store in Helen to make extra money. The family then moved to Shay, where Gleaves attended school until they moved to Rabon. Growing up on the farm, there were no close neighbors and she worked in the fields and helped her mother with cooking and washing. Married to Lawrence Gleaves, a man 12 years her senior, on April 20, 1918, their first daughter, Chloe, was born in 1919, their second daughter, Billye, arrived in 1921, and a son, Leamon, was born in 1924. All three children graduated from the eighth grade from Rockey Point. They attended school in Madill and both daughters went on to receive their master's degrees in education to teach history and mathematics. Both taught more than 30 years at Madill High School. Both eloped the same day, Dec. 14, 1941, not knowing the other was getting married at the same time. Leamon served in the Navy and worked for the Oklahoma Engineering Department until his retirement. Gleaves and her husband continued to farm and ranch, and during their "retirement" went to cattle sales, fished and visited friends and family. Mr. Gleaves died of a heart attack in 1972. After the death of her husband, her daughter, Billye, and husband, Rex, built Eva a home in their yard. She bought a new car and traveled until, at age 80, decided it was time to stop driving. She filled her hours doing needlework, making and giving away more than 300 angels. During her lifetime Eva has witnessed many changes and still thinks electricity is the finest thing discovered. Gleaves has been a member of the Church of Christ since she was 18.

Much of the information contained in this chapter has been obtained from the valuable work of other researchers. The degree of documentation in this section is less than that contained in Chapters 1-6. This chapter attempts to establish family lineage's to the present day. Many specific references need to be researched further to obtain the definitive proof needed by serious genealogists. References to the Mormon International Genealogical Index are especially prone to errors and should be viewed as a starting point and not necessarily documented facts. 1. MICHAEL2 GLAVES (MATTHEW1) was born Before 1758, and died 1811 in Jones Bend, Davidson County, Tennessee. He married (1) FIRST WIFE. She was born before 1765. He married (2) RACHEL UNKNOWN about 1788. She was born before 1770, and died September 07, 1835 in Jones Bend, Davidson County, Tennessee. Notes for MICHAEL GLAVES: Michael and his wives are profiled in detail in Chapter 4 of this document, as are the children born into the marriages. Child of MICHAEL GLAVES and FIRST WIFE is: 2. i. MARY DORCAS3 GLEAVES, b. before 1782, Virginia; d. after 1810, probably in Tennessee. Children of MICHAEL GLAVES and RACHEL UNKNOWN are: 3. ii. THOMAS3 GLEAVES, b. 1789, Fort Mansker, Davidson County, Tennessee; d. February 16, 1831, Davidson County, Tennessee. 4. iii. JOHN GLEAVES, b. before 1791, Fort Mansker, Davidson County, Tennessee; d. 1822, Wilson County, Tennessee. 5. iv. MICHAEL GLEAVES, JR., b. before 1791, Fort Mansker, Davidson County, Tennessee; d. 1834. 6. v.

MARY DORCAS3 GLEAVES (MICHAEL2 GLAVES, MATTHEW1) was born before 1782 in Virginia, and died after 1798 most likely in Tennessee. She married JOHN DAVIS August 04, 1798 in Davidson County, Tennessee, son of FREDRICK DAVIS and FANNY GRIEVES. He was born July 30, 1770 in Halifax County, North Carolina, and died July 07, 1853 in Davidson County, Tennessee. Notes for MARY DORCAS GLEAVES: There is no positive documentation that Mary is indeed the daughter of Michael and his first wife. The very strong circumstantial evidence is discussed in detail in Chapter 4 of this manuscript. Children of MARY GLEAVES and JOHN DAVIS are: i. SOPHIA WESTERN4 DAVIS, m. JOHN WHITE HORTON. Notes for SOPHIA WESTERN DAVIS: DAR Lineage #17847 10. ii. NANCY WATKINS DAVIS 3.

Notes for THOMAS GLEAVES: The oldest child of Michael and Rachel, Thomas and his wife Sally are profiled in detail in Chapter 4 of this manuscript. Children of THOMAS GLEAVES and MARY DEAN are: i. MALE CHILD4 GLEAVES, b. after 1819. ii. MALE CHILD GLEAVES, b. after 1819. 11. iii. WILLIAM A. GLEAVES, b. about 1818; d. after 1860. 12. iv. HENRY ALBERT GLEAVES, b. 1823, Davidson County, Tennessee; d. December 17, 1877, Nashville, Tennessee. 4. JOHN3 GLEAVES (MICHAEL2 GLAVES, MATTHEW1) was born before 1791 in Fort Mansker, Davidson County, Tennessee, and died 1822 in Wilson County, Tennessee. He married MARY SARAH ROBINSON, "POLLY" June 25, 1812 in Davidson County, Tennessee. She was born before 1797, and died after 1832. Notes for JOHN GLEAVES: The second child of Michael and Rachel, John and Mary are profiled in detail in Chapter 4 of this manuscript. Children of JOHN GLEAVES and MARY ROBINSON are: i.

Notes for CAROLINE GLEAVES: Caroline is not listed with her brother and sisters in her brother William's will in 1841. She may have died before this date. 13. iii. JOHN T. GLEAVES, DR., b. 1822, Tennessee; d. after 1889. iv. MALVINA GLEAVES, b. before 1822, Tennessee; d. after 1841; m. JOHN D.

GLEAVES: In his will, William names his brother John T. and sisters Sarah and Malvina No mention of a wife or children is listed. His sister Caroline is not listed either. It would appear that William died without marrying. 5. MICHAEL3 GLEAVES, JR. (MICHAEL2 GLAVES, MATTHEW1) was born before 1791 in Fort Mansker, Davidson County, Tennessee, and died 1834. He married SALLY DEAN November 1812 in Davidson County, Tennessee, daughter of JAMES DEAN and MARY DICKINSON. She was born before 1798, and died after 1828. Notes for MICHAEL GLEAVES, JR.: Michael was the third child of Michael and Rachel. Michael Jr. and Sally are profiled in detail in Chapter 4 of this manuscript.

June 29, 1841, Davidson County, Tennessee. Notes for JAMES M. GLEAVES: The only record pertaining to James is his obituary notice in the Nashville Whig. An extract states that he died at the residence of his brother-in-law, M.H. Gleaves June 29, 1841. M.H. Gleaves is Michael H. who married Mary Ann Dean Gleaves. Michael was also James first cousin. An entry on Ancestry.Com states that he is buried at the intersection of Love's Road and Brick Church Road, four miles north of Nashville. What appears to be a tombstone inscription is also provided. "Here lie the remains of James Gleaves, who fell a victim of congestive fever, June 29, 1841; age 23 years. Let tears of grief flow for virtue and hope of --- have fallen." Congestive fever was the term used for malaria. No other information regarding James M. Gleaves has been found. 6. MATTHEW3 GLEAVES (MICHAEL2 GLAVES, MATTHEW1) was born 1793 in Fort Mansker, Davidson County, Tennessee, and died about 1836 in Dickson County, Tennessee. He married ELIZABETH "BETSY" SMITH, August 19, 1809 in Davidson County, Tennessee, daughter of EZEKIEL SMITH. She was born before 1794 in Tennessee, and died 1851 in Dickson County, Tennessee. Notes for MATTHEW GLEAVES: The fourth child of Michael and Rachel, Matthew and his wife Elizabeth are profiled in detail in Chapter 4 of this manuscript. Children of MATTHEW GLEAVES and ELIZABETH SMITH are: 16. i. NANCY EMELINE4 GLEAVES, b. 1808, Davidson County, Tennessee; d. 1844, Tennessee. 17. ii. ISABELLA TENNESSEE GLEAVES, b. June 04, 1814, Dickson County, Tennessee; d. 1853, Dyer County, Tennessee. iii. PARALEE GLEAVES, b. before 1815; d. after 1831; m. THOMAS ELLIS, December 27, 1831, Dickson County, Tennessee; b. before 1815; d. after 1831. Notes for PARALEE GLEAVES: This marriage appears in Early Middle Tennessee Marriages. Thomas Ellis is named as one of the heirs in the will of Paralee's father. The daughters are not mentioned although their spouses are all listed as heirs. iv. ARAMINITY GLEAVES, b. before 1820; m. GILFORD MORRIS, December 08, 1836, Dickson County, Tennessee; b. before 1820; d. after 1835. Notes for ARAMINITY GLEAVES: Araminity and Guilford's marriage appears in Early Middle Tennessee Marriages. Guilford Morris is named as one of the heirs in the will of Araminity's father. The daughters are not mentioned although their spouses are all listed as heirs. 18. v. EZEKIAL SMITH GLEAVES, "SMITH", b. 1819, Tennessee; d. 1867, Dickson County, Tennessee. vi. WILLIAM D. GLEAVES, b. about 1833, Tennessee; m. E. LOUISA LOWE, January 04, 1860, Cheatham County, Tennessee. Notes for WILLIAM D. GLEAVES: William appears in the 1850 census living with his mother and older brother, Ezekiel. He is identified in his sister in law's diary in 1859 as living with Ezekiel and Betty for at least a period of that time. He is described in the diary as a school teacher and he and his wife lived with Ezekiel's family when he was not teaching school. His wife is listed in the diary as Sarah. Early Middle Tennessee Marriages list a marriage for a "W.D. Gleaves" to a "Louisa Lowe" as occurring on January 2, 1860. The bride has the same maiden name as his sister-in-law, Betty Gleaves and may be related. The marriage license was taken out in Cheatham County, Tennessee. This may not be accurate since Betty lists William and Sarah as already being married in 1859. The Will of William's mother, written in 1851, mentions "also my Grand Son William D. Gleave the sum of fifty dollars". Neither of her sons were married at this time so the entry most likely refers to her son, William. No children have been identified with this marriage, although two unidentified family members, Joe and Nicie Gleaves, married in Cheatham County in 1892 & 1897 respectively. More research is needed here. 7. ELIZABETH3 GLEAVES (MICHAEL2 GLAVES, MATTHEW1) was born before 1785 in Fort Mansker, Davidson County, Tennessee, and died after 1826.

Elizabeth and her husbands are profiled in detail in Chapter 4 of this manuscript. Children of ELIZABETH GLEAVES and AUTHUR TURNER are: i. RACHEL4 TURNER, b. before 1811. Notes for RACHEL TURNER: Rachel is mentioned in her grandfather's will in 1811. 19. ii. MICHAEL GLEAVES TURNER, b. before 1811; d. before 1865. 8.

He married (1) ANNE NELSON September 17, 1808 in Davidson County, Tennessee. She was born before 1793, and died before 1814 in Wilson County, Tennessee. He married (2) MARY "POLLY" WILSON, August 22, 1814 in Wilson County, Tennessee. She was born about 1793 in Virginia, and died after 1870. Notes for WILLIAM D. GLEAVES: William appears to be the sixth child of Michael and Rachel Glaves. William and his wives, Anne and Polly are profiled in detail in Chapter 4 of this manuscript. Children of WILLIAM GLEAVES and ANNE NELSON are: i. MISSOURI T.4 GLEAVES, b. November 12, 1809; d. July 14, 1835, Wilson County, Tennessee; m. HENRY F.

He married ADELAIDE FRANCIS CLARK August 14, 1851 in Davidson County, Tennessee. She was born about 1830 in Tennessee, and died February 1860 in Davidson County, Tennessee. Notes for WILLIAM A. GLEAVES: "William held some position with the North Carolina and St. Louis Railway for a number of years.

Living with the family is a "Sarah Gleaves", age 19, who has not yet been connected with a family. William's date of death is not known to this author. He does not appear in the 1870 Tennessee Census and may have died before that date. A list of the stockholders in the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad dated June 30, 1871 includes William owning 351 1/4 shares. Middle Tennessee Journal of Genealogy & History, Vol XI Children of WILLIAM GLEAVES and ADELAIDE CLARK are: i. SUSAN CLARK5 GLEAVES, b. about 1853, Tennessee; d. February 1860, Davidson County, Tennessee. Notes for SUSAN CLARK GLEAVES: "Susan C. Gleavis" died of scarlet fever at age seven. 1860 Tennessee Mortality Schedule ii. JAMES C. GLEAVES, b.

HENRY ALBERT4 GLEAVES (THOMAS3, MICHAEL2 GLAVES, MATTHEW1) was born 1823 in Davidson County, Tennessee, and died December 17, 1877 in Nashville, Tennessee. He married ELIZA TANNEHILL October 04, 1845 in Nashville, Tennessee, daughter of WILKINS TANNEHILL and ELIZA DEWEESE. She was born 1823 in Lexington, Kentucky, and died September 19, 1884 in Davidson County, Tennessee. Notes for HENRY ALBERT GLEAVES: A family history written by Evilina Porter Gleaves Cohen states that Henry ran a bookstore in Nashville with his two brothers in law, W.T. Berry and William B. Bayliss. The store was named W.T. Berry and Company. Eliza was the daughter of Wilkins and Eliza (Dewees) Tannehill. Wilkins was for many years the editor of the Nashville Herald, the first Clay-Whig published in Tennessee. Wilkins Tannehill was a Mason and served as Grand Master for Tennessee from 1817 to 1824, except for 1822-23 when Andrew Jackson held that post. Much of the information on the descendants of Henry Albert Gleaves is drawn from a book titled; The Bwoyer, Gleaves & Cohen Families by Evilina Porter Gleaves Cohen. A copy of this manuscript may be found in the Daughters of the American Revolution Library in Washington, DC. Albert is listed in the 1890 St. Louis, Missouri City Directory. His occupation is listed as a "bookkeeper" for the "David Bradley Mntg. Co." Henry Albert Gleaves Also listed as living in his home at 3009 Easton Avenue, is a woman named "Elizabeth Gleaves, Widow of William". This appears to be a second wife of William A. Gleaves, Albert's brother. "No cemetery location is given although his wife Eliza is buried at Mt. Olivet, Nashville, Tennessee." Turner Manuscript: 1925 Children of HENRY GLEAVES and ELIZA TANNEHILL are: i. MARY ELIZA5 GLEAVES, b. August 05, 1846, Nashville, Tennessee; d. December 26, 1862, Nashville, Tennessee. Notes for MARY ELIZA GLEAVES: A "M.E. Gleaves" appears on the membership rolls of the New Hope Baptist Church in Hermitage, Tennessee in 1877. Many of Mary's distant Gleaves relatives were members of this church. 24. ii. EMMA GLEAVES, b. July 31, 1848, Davidson County, Tennessee. iii. FANNIE HUNT GLEAVES, b. October 01, 1850, d. after 1900. Notes for FANNIE HUNT GLEAVES: Fannie never married but devoted her life to church work. A "Fannie Gleaves" appears in the minutes of the New Hope Baptist Church in November 1879, although no one by that name appears on the membership rolls. She also appears in the 1900 Census living with her sister Corrine in Davidson County. 25. iv. CORINNE GLEAVES, b. May 23, 1853, Nashville, Davidson County, Tennessee. v. ANNA GLEAVESb b. June 14, 1855; d. before 1875. Notes for ANNA GLEAVES: Davidson County Marriage Book #6 lists a marriage of an "Anna E. Gleaves" to "William H. Sanders" on December 11, 1871. She appears on the membership rolls of the New Hope Baptist Church in Hermatige, Tennessee in 1868 with a later notation of the name "Sanders". Many of her distant relatives were members of this church. More research is needed to definietly connect this person with William. 26. vi. ALBERT GLEAVES, b. January 01, 1858, Nashville, Tennessee; d. January 09, 1937, Haverford, Pennsylvania. 13. JOHN T.4 GLEAVES, DR. (JOHN3, MICHAEL2 GLAVES, MATTHEW1) was born 1822 in Tennessee, and died after 1889. He married TABITHA P. MOORE January 06, 1848 in Wilson County, Tennessee, daughter of ALFRED MOORE. She was born about 1827. Notes for JOHN T. GLEAVES, DR.: Biographical Sketch of Dr. John T. Gleaves "The question arises - for whom was the Gleaves Branch named? The most recent Gleaves living on the said branch was Dr. John T. Gleaves, who lived near where the old Mt. Juliet Road crossed the branch as early as 1844, when he bought the land from Edward Sweatt. The wills of W.J. Wood in 1889 and his wife, Mrs. Elizabeth S. Wood, in 1893, offer evidence of the location of the property of John T. Gleaves. "Mr. Wood leaves to his son a portion of land beginning at John T. Gleaves' northwest corner", Mrs. Wood's will: "The homestead being the W.J. Wood place, bound on the north by Goodall and Bridgewaters, east by the Cedar Lick Creek, South by S.H. Hatfield, Dabney Cawthon and Mrs. Dr. Stroud and on the west by John T. Gleaves' heirs." Dr. John Gleaves' biography is in the book of State Assembly members from Wilson County and shows that he was a member of the 31st Assembly, the House 1855-57 and also the Senate 1877-79. He practiced medicine at Green Hill. Davidson County marriage records show that John T. Gleaves married Tabitha P. Moore April 7, 1846 and the 1860 census shows in Wilson County: J.T. Gleaves, 37, T.P. 33, Mary E. 10, W.A. 8, Ada B. 4. In Wilson County marriage records we find: W.A. Gleaves married Ruth Wood (daughter of W.J. Wood above) December 5, 1892; Mary E. Gleaves married James A. Gleaves May 18, 1882 and Ada B. Gleaves married John M. Adams May 13, 1874. The date of Dr. Gleaves death is unknown but Mrs. Wood's will names his heirs in 1893. However the Gleaves Branch was likely named much earlier. In 1822 John Gleaves who married Mary "Polly" Robinson June 28, 1812 in Davidson County, left a will in Wilson County, naming his wife and five minor children - sons William and John (subsequent documents say John T.) and daughters Sally, Caroline and Malvinia. He mentions land adjoining Samuel Davis (new Lowe's) and in a deed this is described as land "granted to Michael Gleaves on the Waters of Cedar Lick Creek." Michael Gleaves was John Gleaves' father. When early deeds say "on the waters of" a creek, this could be the remotest part of any small branch of said creek. As Gleaves Branch has its origin in the area mentioned in the deeds, it was probably named for these early Gleaves families." West Wilson Neighbors John is listed as serving as a "General and Staff Surgeon" during the Civil War. No unit designation is given. Roster of Confederate Soldiers 1861-1865 Dr. John and Tabitha are listed in Early Middle Tennessee Marriages although he is recorded as John L. Gleaves. Their marriage was reported correctly in the Nashville Christian Advocate. Children of JOHN GLEAVES and TABITHA MOORE are: 27. i. MARY E.5 GLEAVES, b. May 1859, Tennessee; d. after 1900. ii. W. A. GLEAVES, b. about 1852, Tennessee; m. TINNEY RUTH WOOD, December 05, 1892, Wilson County, Tennessee; b. May 09, 1866. Notes for W. A. GLEAVES: Information on Ruth Wood's family comes from a query submitted by Judy Bean. iii. ADA B. GLEAVES, b. about 1856, Tennessee; m. JOHN M. ADAMS, May 13, 1874, Tennessee. 14. JOHN EWING4 GLEAVES (MICHAEL3, MICHAEL2 GLAVES, MATTHEW1) was born about 1823 in Tennessee, and died after 1860 in Davidson County, Tennessee. He married MANILLA LORINA MASSEY April 05, 1847 in Davidson County, Tennessee, daughter of WILLIAM G. MASSEY. She was born about 1828, and died after 1868 in Davidson County, Tennessee. Notes for JOHN EWING GLEAVES: "John was a lawyer and served as Clerk and Master of Davidson County for a long period of time. He died leaving a widow and three daughters. The widow later remarried a preacher by the name of Hoyt." Turner Manuscript: 1925 John and his family appear in both the 1850 and 1860 Tennessee census. The announcement of John and Manilla's marriage was published in The Christian Record. It appears that John died prior to 1868, since on July 14th of that year Manilla married for a second time to Rev. James Wood Hoyte. Children of JOHN GLEAVES and MANILLA MASSEY are: i. CARRIE5 GLEAVES, b. about 1852. ii. HARRIET GLEAVES, b. about 1856; , m. JAMES RICHARD MASON, January 13, 1874, Davidson County, Tennessee. Notes for HARRIET GLEAVES: "One daughter, Hattie, married Richard Mason. They still live in Nashville." Turner Manuscript: 1925 Hattie and Richard's marriage is recorded in Davidson County Marriage Book #6 iii. MANILLA GLEAVES, b. about 1850; m. JAMES WOOD HOYTE, July 14, 1868; b. June 19, 1823. Notes for MANILLA GLEAVES: There is some confusion here since Manilla is listed as marrying her Mother's second husband. It appears to this author that faulty information has been provided and most likely, this daughter did not exist. She is included here for others to research and correct this record. 15. MARY ANN DEAN4 GLEAVES (MICHAEL3, MICHAEL2 GLAVES, MATTHEW1) was born Before 1817, and died 1881 in Davidson County, Tennessee. She married MICHAEL H. GLEAVES June 18, 1832 in Davidson County, Tennessee, son of WILLIAM GLEAVES and ANNE NELSON. He was born July 28, 1811, and died about 1856 in Jones Bend, Davidson County, Tennessee. Notes for MARY ANN DEAN GLEAVES: Mary Ann married her cousin, Michael Gleaves, son of William D. Gleaves. There is some confusion over exactly when Mary was born. When she died in 1881 it was reported that she was 79, meaning she would have been born about 1802, some 10 years before her parent's marriage. A recent report from Bob Allen also lists a sister, Sophia T. that this author has as Mary's daughter. More research is needed here. Mary's will was written November 5, 1880 and the original is located in the Davidson County, Tennessee Archives. "Mike Gleaves died about 1856, aged 45 years of a congestive chill, being sick only one day. He, too, was buried in the family ground in Jones Bend. He left a widow and eight children out of sixteen born to him and his wife." Turner Manuscript: 1925 A total of only eight children have been identified as being born to this marriage. More research is needed here. Michael and Mary Ann are buried in the family cemetery at Jones. Bend. Children of MARY GLEAVES and MICHAEL GLEAVES are: 28. i. WILLIAM MICHAEL5 GLEAVES, b. November 04, 1834, Davidson County, Tennessee; d. 1911. 29. ii. GEORGE W. GLEAVES, b. December 16, 1837, Tennessee; d. June 19, 1922. iii. FELIX M. GLEAVES, b. March 25, 1841, Davidson County, Tennessee; d. October 09, 1928, Davidson County, Tennessee; m. JOSEPHINE TUCKER, March 28, 1882, Davidson County, Tennessee; b. 1857, Davidson County, Tennessee; d. after 1928. Notes for FELIX M. GLEAVES: "Felix D. Gleaves, still living, aged 84, is at the Old Soldiers Home near Nashville, Tenn. And has one son and two daughters living." Turner Manuscript: 1925 "Felix N. Gleaves" appears in the 1860 Davidson County Census living with his widowed Mother and siblings. Felix served in several units of the Confederate Army. As some units were weakened by battle losses, they were simply absorbed by other units. His service record includes the 15th Tennessee Infantry and the 9th Tennessee Cavalry. Felix appears to have been captured at some point since his Application to the Confederate Soldier's Home states he "was released from Rock Island Prison after the war". There is little information on Felix, post-civil war, other than his marriage to Josephine in 1882. He is not listed in either the 1870 or 1880 Census. In 1921, Felix applied for, and received admission to the Tennessee Confederate Soldier's Home in Hermitage. There is no mention of Josephine in the application so it is not clear as to her whereabouts at the time. We know that she was still living and most likely had him admitted due to his declining health. Felix died in 1928 and is buried on the grounds of the Soldier's Home. His file contained the following: "Notify in case of death (1) Mrs. R.S. Buford, (2) Felix Gleaves, (3) Mrs. D.L. Cantrell". The first two had local addresses and the last was St. Louis, Missouri. It is assumed that these are the three children mentioned in the Turner Manuscript, although no proof is contained in the abstract of this file. Marching out of the Mist into the Light Sometime after his death, Josephine filed for a Confederate Widow's Pension (#9294). It is assumed it was granted although it has not been confirmed. The date of Josephine's death has not been documented. Much of the information about Josephine comes from her Confederate Widow's Pension application. Tennessee Confederate Widows iv. MARY D. GLEAVES, b. about 1843; m. JAMES MORTON, May 02, 1865, Davidson County, Tennessee. Notes for MARY D. GLEAVES: "Mary D. Gleaves married a preacher James Morton and died leaving no children."

GLEAVES: "Clementine Gleaves married a Mr. McClung in Fort Worth, Texas and died in 1924 leaving no children." Turner Manuscript: 1925 Unless Mr. Turner got her husband's name wrong, Clementine appears to have married a second time to Ashbell Judge. She would have been about 47 at the time. It was his second marriage as well. 30. vii. FRANK D. GLEAVES, b. May 1850, Tennessee; d. after 1900. viii. MICHAEL HENRY GLEAVES, b. about 1855; d. 1886, Texas.

He died in 1886 leaving no descendants." Turner Manuscript: 1925 16.

ISABELLA TENNESSEE4 GLEAVES (MATTHEW3, MICHAEL2 GLAVES, MATTHEW1) was born June 04, 1814 in Dickson County, Tennessee, and died 1853 in Dyer County, Tennessee. She married DAVID CHAPPELL WEAKLEY December 19, 1833 in Dickson County, Tennessee. He was born about 1809 in Robertson County, Tennessee, and died 1873 in Dyer County, Tennessee. Notes for ISABELLA TENNESSEE GLEAVES: Most of the information on David and Isabella comes from a biographical sketch of their son, David R. The pertinent information is contained here and the full sketch appears later in this chapter. "He (David R.) was born in Dickson County, Tenn., on the 4th of March, 1847, and was the sixth of eight children, two now living, born to the marriage of David C. Weakley and Isabella Gleaves, who were born in Robertson and Dickson Counties, Tenn., respectively. After their marriage they moved to Dyer County, Tenn., in 1858, where the father became a successful agriculturist, and although a heavy loser by the war, he was a well-to-do man at the time of his death, which occurred in 1873, at the age of sixty four years. His wife's death occurred about 1853, when still a young woman, and he afterward wedded Miss Elizabeth Brigham, who is now residing in Dyer County, Tenn. He was a Mason and a Democrat, and he and both his wives were members of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church." Northeast Arkansas Biographies and Historical Memoirs David and Isabella's marriage is listed in Early Middle Tennessee Marriages. The remaining seven children have not been identified. Child of ISABELLA GLEAVES and DAVID WEAKLEY is: i. DAVID R.5 WEAKLEY, DR., b. March 04, 1847; m. DRUSILLA CURTIS, March 08, 1872. Notes for DAVID R. WEAKLEY: Biographical Sketch of Dr. David R. Weakley "David R. Weakley, M.D., of Kingsville, has for the past four years been prominently associated with the professional interests of Randolph County, and is deserving of more than a passing mention in any history of the same. He was born in Dickson County, Tenn., on the 4th of March, 1847, and was the sixth of eight children, two now living, born to the marriage of David C. Weakley and Isabella Gleaves, who were born in Robertson and Dickson Counties, Tenn., respectively. After their marriage they moved to Dyer County, Tenn., in 1858, where the father became a successful agriculturist, and although a heavy loser by the war, he was a well-to-do man at the time of his death, which occurred in 1873, at the age of sixty four years. His wife's death occurred about 1853, when still a young woman, and he afterward wedded Miss Elizabeth Brigham, who is now residing in Dyer County, Tenn. He was a Mason and a Democrat, and he and both his wives were members of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. David R. Weakley, after attending the common schools in youth, entered Newbern College, where he received an excellent education. but left his books in 1863 to enlist in the army, becoming a member of Company B, Tenth Tennessee Cavalry, in which he served until the Rebellion was quelled, participating in the battles at Guntown, Miss., and Coldwater. Desiring to enter professional life, he entered upon the study of medicine under Dr. R. N. Fryer, of Newbern, and applied himself with energy and perseverance to his books, and in 1871-72 attended lectures in the Nashville University, graduating in the latter year. He commenced active practice in Dyer County, Tenn., but a short time thereafter came to Arkansas, locating in Greene County, and still later in Clay County, on Blue Cane Island. His next move was to Oak Bluff, and after a residence of four years at this point he settled at Knobel Station, on the Iron Mountain Railroad, remaining until 1885, since which time he has been a resident of Kingsville, where he has established himself substantially as a prominent member of the medical profession, and it is conceded that [p.44 1] he has proven himself one of the skillful practitioners of the county. He is a Royal Arch Mason, and has served as Master of his lodge. Politically his views are in accord with the Democratic party, and in religion he is a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. On the 8th of March, 1872, the Doctor's union with Miss Drusilla Curtis was celebrated. She was a daughter of Clement and Sally Curtis, of Crockett County, Tenn., and is also a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church." Northeast Arkansas Biographies and Historical Memoirs 18. EZEKIEL SMITH4 GLEAVES, "SMITH" (MATTHEW3, MICHAEL2 GLAVES, MATTHEW1) was born 1819 in Tennessee, and died 1867 in Dickson County, Tennessee. He married ELIZABETH A. LOWE, "BETTY" March 15, 1856 in Davidson County, Tennessee, daughter of GIDEON LOWE and DELANA DOWLEN. She was born July 31, 1834 in Tennessee, and died February 20, 1907 in Dickson County, Tennessee. Notes for EZEKIAL SMITH GLEAVES, "SMITH": Biographical Sketch of Ezekiel S. Gleaves "EZEKIEL S. GLEAVES was born in Tennessee, in 1819, and is the son of Matthew Gleaves, who was one of the early settlers of this country. He was married to Elizabeth Smith, in this State. Ezekiel S. was united in marriage to Miss Elizabeth Lowe in 1856. She was born in 1832 and is a daughter of Gideon and Delana (Dowlen) Lowe, natives of Tennessee, born in 1801 and 1803, respectively, and died in 1859 and 1863. Mr. and Mrs. Gleaves became the parents of these five children: Lizzie M., Adalaska, Mary L., Gertrude S. and Petronia L. Our subjects early life was spent on a farm, and at the breaking out of the war he enlisted in the Confederate service in 1861 and remained one year, when he was compelled to return home, on account of sickness in the family. He, however, furnished a substitute before leaving, and then returned to the home farm, where he lived until his death in 1867. His widow then assumed entire control of the farm and managed it until 1873 when she leased it for a term of years and moved near the county seat, her residence being in the suburbs of Ashland City. She is a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, as was her husband." History of Middle Tennessee The birthdate given in the sketch may be an error. The 1840 and 1850 census list ages for Ezekiel that would place his birth around 1823-24. Civil War Muster Rolls list a "E.A. GLEAVES" who served as a Private in the 50th Tennessee Infantry. In the notes section it lists "G.W. Miles (Sub.)". This may be Ezekiel, since he is reported to have secured a replacement when he returned home. Civil War Muster Rolls, Ancestry.com Ezekiel was one of the founding elders of the Mount Liberty Cumberland Presbyterian Church, which was organized in January 1866. The church had been an arm of the New Sharon Congregation of Cheatham County. The first building was log and served both as a church and a school. It had split logs for seats. Elizabeth is buried in Church Cemetery. It is located in Dickson County in the town of Charlotte. No record of Ezekiel's grave has been found by this author. The Diary of Betty Lowe Gleaves Betty kept a diary for some period during her life. At least a portion of this work (1858-59) survives today in the Tennessee State Library and Archives. This document, (along with the diaries of two other women) was the subject of a 1991 article published in the Tennessee Historical Quarterly. The title is a mouthful; "Women's Sphere and the Creation of Female Community in the Antibellum South: Three Tennessee Slaveholding Women". The article focuses on the lives of the three women from different social settings and their interaction with their families and slaves. While this author has not reviewed the actual diary, this document offers a valuable glimpse into Betty's life and it is assumed into the lives of other Gleaves families in Tennessee just before the Civil War. Children of EZEKIEL GLEAVES and ELIZABETH LOWE are: i. LIZZIE M.5 GLEAVES, b. about 1856, Tennessee; d. after 1876; m. J. W. SIMPKINS, April 25, 1876, Tennessee; b. about 1856; d. after 1876.

GLEAVES: The marriage information for Petronia is not definite. The name appears as "P.L. Gleaves" so more research is needed to be sure. 19. MICHAEL GLEAVES4 TURNER (ELIZABETH3 GLEAVES, MICHAEL2 GLAVES, MATTHEW1) was born before 1811, and died before 1865. He married ELIZABETH P. WILLIAMS.

ALBERT5 GLEAVES (HENRY ALBERT4, THOMAS3, MICHAEL2 GLAVES, MATTHEW1) was born January 01, 1858 in Nashville, Tennessee, and died January 09, 1937 in Haverford, Pennsylvania. He married EVELINA MARY HEAP June 12, 1889 in St. John's Church, Washington, D.C. She was born 1863, and died 1946. Notes for ALBERT GLEAVES: The following information has been gathered and condensed from several sources. Biography of Admiral Albert Gleaves Admiral Albert Gleaves USN was born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee. His early childhood saw the outbreak of the Civil War. He was just five years old when the Battle of Nashville occurred. He entered the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis in 1873, at the age of 15, graduating in 1877. It would be nearly four years later, after serving a required two-year period of sea duty that he was commissioned as an Ensign. Albert's first command came during the Spanish American War aboard the Navy's first torpedo boat, the USS Cushing. Records indicate that the USS Cushing was moored alongside the USS Maine less than 24 hours before the Maine was destroyed by a mine in the harbor at Havana, Cuba. Had not the craft been ordered back to Key West early that morning, it would have sunk with the Maine and this biography may have ended here. In 1901 Albert was assigned as the Captain of the USS Dolphin, a yacht used by the Secretary of the Navy and the President. In 1903, he was given command of the newly commissioned presidential yacht, the "Mayflower". Albert's appointment was at the specific request of President Teddy Roosevelt. During the subsequent two years, Albert and Evelina developed a friendship with the President and First Lady that would last throughout their lives. By 1915, Albert had been promoted to Rear Admiral and placed in command of the nation's fleet of destroyers used to protect convoys of merchant ships as well as larger warships. Getting the Boys "Over There" With America's entry into World War I in 1917, Albert was designated as the Commander of U.S. Convoy Operations in the Atlantic. Albert became responsible for safely transporting an American Army of over two million soldiers to Europe. At the time, German submarines were roaming the Atlantic, sinking British cargo vessels at will. The unit was designated The Cruiser and Transport Force. Over time, the Unit grew to a fleet of over 600 vessels including 24 cruisers, more than a hundred destroyers, 42 troop transports and 453 cargo ships. His assignment to this command motivated former President Roosevelt to send the following letter to Evelina. Sagamore Hill September 9, 1917 Dear Mrs. Gleaves, I can not deny myself the pleasure of writing you just a line about the Admiral. I was so very glad that he has his chance; I knew how well he would take advantage of it. He has long been to me one of the men in our navy who most thoroughly represented the best type of American "officer and gentleman". He has that combination of trained efficiency, dauntless courage - not merely physical but from the standpoint of acceptance of wearing and dangerous responsibility - and high and fine sense of honor which taken together make what we hope can be called most characteristic of what is best in the American character. I am prouder of my country because he holds in it the position he does. Always yours Theodore Roosevelt This tremendous task was accomplished without the loss of a single soldier due to enemy action. An accomplishment which prompted the First Sea Lord of the British Admiralty, Admiral Lord Jellicoe, to say "From a seaman's point of view it is unparalleled in history". After the war, the residents of Nashville, Tennessee, his hometown, presented Albert with a sword in recognition of his service to the country. "On April 6, 1919, a sword was presented to Admiral Gleaves, to purchase which the funds were raised by the ladies of Nashville under the leadership of a commission of which Mrs. Edward Buford was chairman, the purpose being an acknowledgment of "his wonderful achievement in conveying with the ships of the American Navy, under his command, hundreds of transports bearing more than two million American soldiers to the shores of France, without the loss of a single soldier." The following lines, written at the time by John Trotwood Moore, well express the sentiments of all Tennesseans concerning Admiral Gleaves: Stonewall of the Sea Sampson, Schley and Phillips And blest the ties that be, Gleaves who blocked the hell-sharks' path- Our Stonewall of the sea! Tennessee, The Volunteer State The Bolshevik Revolution After the War, in September of 1919, Admiral Albert Gleaves was given command of the Asiatic Fleet. Promoted to the rank of Full Admiral, his four star flag was hoisted over his flagship, the Battleship South Dakota. Shortly after taking command he sailed for the Orient. His ships played a vital role in evacuating remnants of the White Russian Army at the Port of Vladivostock in Siberia. Admiral Albert Gleaves retired from active duty in 1921 and moved to Washington, DC the following year. He and Evelina later moved to Pennsylvania where he died in 1937. A bust of Albert Gleaves is on display in Memorial Hall at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. The USS Gleaves After his death, the Navy built a destroyer named in Albert's honor. The USS Gleaves, a Bensen Class destroyer, was commissioned on June 14, 1940. Built by the Bath Iron Works, in Bath Maine, she saw her first action while on convoy duty south of Iceland in 1941. A convoy of supply vessels was attacked by a German submarine wolf pack and the Gleaves helped drive them off. In 1942 she participated in Allied landings in North Africa and the following year served in the same capacity during the invasion of Sicily. In January 1944, the Gleaves bombarded the beaches at Anzio in support of the landing there and later helped repel enemy counter attacks on the beachhead. In May of 1944 the ship participated in a four-day hunt for a German submarine that culminated in the sinking of the craft. Many credit the Gleaves with the sinking of U-616. The Government of Malta issued a stamp honoring her contribution in this action. During the D-Day invasion in June 1944, the USS Gleaves escorted and provided fire support to Army Rangers who made the initial landing on the beaches at Normandy. She later provided artillery support to the main invasion force as well. DD 423 USS Albert Gleaves In early 1945, the Gleaves returned to the United States to be refitted for duty in the Pacific. The ship had arrived in Hawaiian waters when the Japanese surrendered. The USS Gleaves earned five Battle Stars for her World War II service in the Mediterranean and the North Atlantic. She was decommissioned in 1946 and scrapped in the late 1960s. Children of ALBERT GLEAVES and EVELINA HEAP are: 35. i. ANNE HEAP6 GLEAVES, b. July 15, 1890; d. 1940. 36. ii.

A Carolyn Gleaves appears in the Social Security Death Index with a birthdate of October 28, 1932. This person died January 14, 1994, no location given. The Social Security card was issued in Missouri. If this is the same person, it would mean that Carolyn never married. 45. ROY LEE7 GLEAVES (EDGAR LEE6, WILLIAM MICHAEL5, MICHAEL H.4, WILLIAM D.3, MICHAEL2 GLAVES, MATTHEW1) was born August 1897, and died 1945. He married RUBY ANDERSON after 1915.

Gleaves" appeared in the Nashville Tennessean on March 27, 1973. It is unclear if this is the same person. Tennessee State Library and Archives Tentative vital statistics for Ruby come from the Social Security Death Index. Child of ROY GLEAVES and RUBY ANDERSON is: i. ELEANOR RUBY8 GLEAVES, b. before 1925. Notes for ELEANOR RUBY GLEAVES: There is a report in the International Genealogical Index of an "Eleanora GLAVES" who was born in California on October 19, 1903. This may be a misspelling of the name although most of the California families were of the Glaves line. More research needed. 46.

The degree of documentation in this section is less than that contained in Chapters 1-6. This chapter attempts to establish family lineages to the present day. Many specific references need to be researched further to obtain the definitive proof needed by serious genealogists. References to the Mormon International Genealogical Index are especially prone to errors and should be viewed as a starting point and not necessarily documented facts. 1. MATTHEW2 GLAVES, JR. (MATTHEW1) was born before 1760 in Virginia, and died between 1799 - 1800 in Pendleton County, Kentucky. He married ELIZABETH BELL about 1780 in Augusta County, Virginia, daughter of SAMUEL BELL and JANE HOLMES. She was born before 1765 in Augusta County, Virginia, and died before 1813 in Pendleton County, Kentucky. Children of MATTHEW GLAVES and ELIZABETH BELL are: 2. i. MICHAEL3 GLAVES, b. about 1781, Virginia; d. before November 18, 1822, Pendleton County, Kentucky. ii. MARGARET GLAVES, "PEGGY", b. before 1790, Virginia, most likely present-day Kentucky; d. after 1823. 3. iii. THOMAS TURK GLAVES, b. 1792, Kentucky; d. 1843, Pendleton County, Kentucky. iv. ESTHER GLAVES, b. after 1793, Pendleton County, Kentucky; d. before March 05, 1810, Pendleton County, Kentucky. 4. v. MARY GLAVES, "POLLY", b. after 1793, Pendleton County, Kentucky; d. after 1850. 5. vi. WILLIAM BELL GLAVE, b. before 1798, Pendleton County, Kentucky; d. after 1861, most likely, Kentucky. Third Generation 2. MICHAEL3 GLAVES (MATTHEW2, MATTHEW1) was born about 1781 in Virginia, and died before November 18, 1822 in Pendleton County, Kentucky. He married (1) BETSY CRISWELL December 22, 1807 in Pendleton County, Kentucky. She was born about 1780, and died before 1817. He married (2) MARTHA CLARKSON, "PATSY" December 08, 1817 in Pendleton County, Kentucky, daughter of DAVID CLARKSON and PHOEBE SMITH. She was born 1797 in Bourbon County, Kentucky, and died 1872 in Lewis County, Missouri. Notes for MICHAEL GLAVES: Michael and his wives Betsy and Patsy, are profiled in detail in Chapter 6 of this document. Children of MICHAEL GLAVES and BETSY CRISWELL are: i. HARVEY4 GLAVES, b. after 1807, Pendleton County, Kentucky; d. Before 1828. Notes for HARVEY GLAVES: No record of Harvey's life exists other than several entries in court records while he was still a minor. On November 18, 1822, "Elijah McClanahan is appointed guardian to Harvey GLAVE and Betsey GLAVE, infant orphans of Michael GLAVE, dec'd". This is same man who was responsible for his father, Michael's escape at the Battle of Raisin River documented in Chapter 6. Pendleton County, Kentucky Order Book D Sometime after that date, William Bell Glaves is named Harvey's guardian. It appears that William apprenticed Harvey to a John White, although no occupation is mentioned. Harrison County Court records for June and August of 1827 reference this apprenticeship and voids it since William bound Harvey without the consent of the court. William was Harvey's uncle and the youngest brother of his father, Michael. Harvey appears to have never married and died young. No other record of Harvey's life has been found to date. 6. ii. ELIZABETH GLAVES, "BETSEY", b. April 16, 1813, Kentucky; d. September 27, 1865, Callaway County, Missouri. Children of MICHAEL GLAVES and MARTHA CLARKSON are: iii. PHOEBE4 GLAVES, b. 1820, Pendleton County, Kentucky; d. after 1855; m. JAMES TILLET, May 18, 1855, Pendleton County, Kentucky; b. about 1831, Kentucky. Notes for PHOEBE GLAVES: Phoebe is the sister of David N. Glaves and is listed in the 1850 census as living with his family. Also listed is a laborer living with the family, James Tillet, who Phoebe would marry in 1855. James had been apprenticed to David by his mother in 1846. Pendleton County, Kentucky Order Book I 7. iv. DAVID NEWTON GLAVES, b. February 17, 1821, Pendleton County, Kentucky; d. August 17, 1888, Lewis County, Missouri. 3. THOMAS TURK3 GLAVES (MATTHEW2, MATTHEW1) was born 1792 in Kentucky, and died 1843 in Pendleton County, Kentucky. He married ELIZABETH DANCE April 09, 1819 in Pendleton County, Kentucky, daughter of THOMAS DANCE and NANCY ELDERS. She was born September 11, 1800 in Kentucky, and died December 03, 1884 in Lewis County, Missouri. Notes for THOMAS TURK GLAVES: Thomas and Elizabeth are profiled in detail in Chapter 6 of this document. Children of THOMAS GLAVES and ELIZABETH DANCE are: 8. i. WILLIAM M.4 GLAVES, b. April 22, 1820, Pendleton County, Kentucky; d. May 18, 1881, Lewis County, Missouri. ii. MARGARET ANN GLAVES, b. between 1820 - 1825, Pendleton County, Kentucky; d. after 1842; m. JULES L. BENSON, October 08, 1842, Pendelton County, Kentucky; b. before 1825; d. After 1842. Notes for MARGARET ANN GLAVES: The only record of Margaret is her marriage to Jules. She appears to be the unnamed daughter of Thomas Glaves found in the 1840 census. This child had already left home when the 1850 Kentucky Census was conducted where Thomas' widow Elizabeth was recorded with several of her children. This would be consistent with the date of her marriage. More research is needed into the 1850 census to try and find Margaret and Jules. This author has not researched their children, if any. iii. MICHAEL T. GLAVES, b. September 04, 1825, Pendleton County, Kentucky; d. April 08, 1901, Pendleton County, Kentucky; m. AMERICA MCCANN, Before July 14, 1860; b. May 30, 1837; d. June 03, 1901, Pendleton County, Kentucky. Notes for MICHAEL T. GLAVES: Michael is first mentioned by name in the 1850 Census, where he is found living with his widowed Mother. Michael and America do not appear to have made the trip to Missouri with the rest of the family. They are both listed in the 1860 and 1900 Census of Pendleton County, Kentucky. Michael's will was written October 10, 1894 and he signed it with an "X", his mark. It was entered with the Pendleton County Court after his death, May 6, 1901. The only other reference to Michael and America is in a list of monument inscriptions to be found in Pendleton County, Kentucky. They are both buried at the Roanoke Church Cemetery, which is located in a very rural part of the county. They are the only Glaves family members whose graves are registered as being in Pendleton County. No record of children being born to this marriage has been uncovered to date. 9. iv. JAMES REN GLAVES, b. April 22, 1830, Pendleton County, Kentucky; d. September 04, 1900, Lewis County, Missouri. v. MARY GLAVES, b. 1835, Pendleton County, Kentucky. Notes for MARY GLAVES: The only time Mary is listed by name is in the 1850 census where she is recorded as living with her mother and some of her siblings. It is unclear if Mary made the trip to Missouri with the rest of the family in 1855. She may have married and further records of her life have yet to be uncovered. 10. vi. CHARLES W. GLAVES, b. November 1843, Kentucky; d. after 1900. 4. MARY3 GLAVES, "POLLY" (MATTHEW2, MATTHEW1) was born after 1793 in Pendleton County, Kentucky, and died After 1850. She married GAIUS PAYNE February 27, 1812 in Pendleton County, Kentucky, son of RICHARD PAYNE and ALICE UNKNOWN. He was born about 1792 in Virginia, and died July 1846 in Pendleton County, Kentucky. Notes for MARY GLAVES, "POLLY": Polly and Gaius are profiled in detail in Chapter 6 of this document. Children of MARY GLAVES and GAIUS PAYNE are: 11. i. AGNES4 PAYNE, b. after 1812. ii. ELIZABETH PAYNE, b. after 1812; m. UNKNOWN PORTER, after 1830. iii. LOUISA PAYNE, b. after 1812; m. THOMAS BARTON, after 1830. iv. LUCY ANN PAYNE, b. after 1812; m. UNKNOWN JAMES. 12. v. WILLIAM THOMAS PAYNE, b. after 1812. 13. vi. JAMES HARVEY PAYNE, b. September 22, 1825, Pendleton County, Kentucky; d. after 1869. 14. vii. URIAH PAYNE, b. about 1817; d. after 1860. 15. viii. MARY ELVIRA PAYNE, b. about 1828, Pendleton County, Kentucky; d. 1899, Pendleton County, Kentucky. 5. WILLIAM BELL3 GLAVE (MATTHEW2 GLAVES, JR., MATTHEW1) was born before 1798 in Pendleton County, Kentucky, and died after 1861, most likely in Kentucky. He married REBECCA WOODMANSEE June 24, 1824 in Harrison County, Kentucky. She was born about 1803 most likely, in Kentucky, and died after 1850. Notes for WILLIAM BELL GLAVE: William and Rebecca are profiled in detail in Chapter 6 of this document. Children of WILLIAM GLAVE and REBECCA WOODMANSEE are: i. EDWIN MANLOVE4 GLAVE, b. September 20, 1826, Cynthania, Kentucky; d. after 1888; m. ELIZABETH UNKNOWN. Notes for EDWIN MANLOVE GLAVE: Edwin Manlove Glave appears to have adopted his father's spelling of the family name by dropping the "s". What little documentation of Edwin that exists today, uses this spelling almost exclusively. The War with Mexico According to published reports, "Edwin M. Glave of Harrison County" served as a soldier in the Mexican War during the late 1840s. Harrodsburg Historical Society Edwin was in fact, a private in Company D of the 1st Kentucky Mounted Volunteers. His enlistment began in Louisville, Kentucky on June 9, 1846. He and the rest of the Company enlisted for a period of one year. Under the command of Captain John Shawhan, the unit was ordered to Southwest Texas where it became part of a force led by General Zachary Taylor. Taylor's army launched an offensive into the interior of Mexico. Three years later, Taylor would become the twelfth president of the United States. We do know that Edwin and the other men of Company D participated in at least one engagement during this campaign. On February 23, 1847 the unit fought in the Battle of Buena Vista. In this engagement, an American force of 4,900 men under Taylor's command, held off an attack by General Santa Anna's army of over 20,000. Unable to gain a decisive victory over the Americans, Santa Anna retreated further south towards Mexico City. Less than a year later, the war ended with Mexico relinquishing all claims to Texas and reluctantly accepting $15 million for vast areas in the Southwest and California. Of the 48 men in Company D, four were killed and nine wounded at Buena Vista. Four others died of disease during the march to Texas. Edwin appears to be one of the lucky ones to have survived without injury. On June 7, 1847, two days short of a year, Company D of the 1st Kentucky Mounted Volunteers was mustered out in New Orleans, Louisiana. Mexican War Veterans, Report of the Adjutant General of the State of Kentucky Little else is known about Edwin's life. "Edwin GLAVE" appears in court records in 1847 on a list entitled "Claims against the county court for services rendered". It is not clear if this claim had to do with his recent military service. His father, William Glave, appeared in these annual records quite frequently. In William's case it is assumed that he sought reimbursement for costs associated with his position as Sheriff. Harrison County, Kentucky Minute Book K Edwin also appears in the 1850 and 1860 Harrison County Census. To date, no record has been found detailing any involvement by Edwin in the Civil War. On September 21, 1888, "Edwin M. GLAVE" filed for a Survivor's Pension for his service to his Country (#-20365). Without a notation to the contrary, this author assumes his application was granted. It appears that Edwin died sometime prior to May 25, 1903 when his widow, Elizabeth filed a Widow's Pension (#17131). This widow's pension is the only known document detailing Edwin's marriage. Mexican War Index of Pension Files 1886-1926 This author assumes that Edwin and Elizabeth were the parents of at least some children since the "Glave" name appears in Kentucky records after 1860. To date, no connection has been made. 16. ii. SARAH ELIZABETH GLAVE, b. January 24, 1832, Cynthania, Kentucky; d. after 1857. Fourth Generation 6. ELIZABETH4 GLAVES, "BETSEY" (MICHAEL3, MATTHEW2, MATTHEW1) was born April 16, 1813 in Kentucky, and died September 27, 1865 in Callaway County, Missouri. She married JOHN DUVAL WEST February 13, 1834 in Callaway County, Missouri, son of THOMAS WEST and MARGAREY BAKER?. He was born May 18, 1796 in Bourbon County, Kentucky, and died June 19, 1881 in Callaway County, Missouri. Notes for ELIZABETH GLAVES, "BETSEY": Elizabeth was the daughter of Michael Glaves and his first wife, Betsy Criswell. The 1820 Pendleton County Census lists Michael Glaves and his family. A female child less than ten years of age is recorded, although only the names of the head of household is listed. The first time Betsey is mentioned by name are court records appointing her guardian on November 18, 1822. "Elijah McClanahan is appointed guardian to Harvey GLAVE and Betsey GLAVE, infant orphans of Michael GLAVE, dec'd". Pendleton County, Kentucky Order Book D John West married his first wife, Christine Summitt in 1819. The only known child of the first marriage, John Jr. was born in September of 1827. John emigrated from Bourbon County, Kentucky to Callaway County, Missouri in 1827. Sometime after Christine's death, in 1830, he returned to Kentucky and married for a second time in 1831. This was followed by a third marriage, also in Kentucky sometime before 1834. At some point after the third marriage he appears to have returned to Missouri. On February 13, 1834, Elizabeth Glaves became his fourth wife in Callaway County, Missouri. It is unclear if John returned to Kentucky for Elizabeth or she joined him in Missouri. The Kentucky Glaves line did not come to Missouri until 1855 and did not settle anywhere near Callaway County. Early Missouri Marriages John West listed his occupation as "farmer" in the 1850 Callaway County, Missouri Census. John had at least seven children by three different wives. John, Elizabeth, and a number of the children who died young, are buried in the White Cloud Presbyterian Church Cemetery. Children of ELIZABETH GLAVES and JOHN WEST are: i. MARGARET ANN5 WEST, b. February 05, 1835, Missouri; d. March 04, 1923; m. SAMUEL TRIMBLE. ii. LOUISA FRANCIS WEST, b. September 25, 1837, Missouri; d. June 02, 1894; m. GEORGE DUNCAN. 7. DAVID NEWTON4 GLAVES (MICHAEL3, MATTHEW2, MATTHEW1) was born February 17, 1821 in Pendleton County, Kentucky, and died August 17, 1888 in Lewis County, Missouri. He married NANCY ANN WALLACE December 1847 in Pendleton County, Kentucky, daughter of GRAHAM WALLACE and ELIZABETH MAKEMSON. She was born September 16, 1819 in Harrison County, Kentucky, and died April 29, 1902 in Lewis County, Missouri. Notes for DAVID NEWTON GLAVES: Biographical Sketch of David Newton Glaves "DAVID NEWTON GLAVES, farmer, was born in Pendleton County, Kentucky in 1821, the son of Michael and Patsy (Clarkson) Glaves, the former of Irish ancestry, and born in Virginia and the latter a native of Bourbon county, Kentucky, born about 1801. The grandfather, Michael sr., was a native of Ireland (This is actually Matthew Glaves Jr.). The father came to Pendleton county, Kentucky as a young man and was married in 1819 and died only four years later. He was in the War of 1812. The mother came to this county in 1857, where she died in 1872. Our subject was reared by his mother, chiefly, and with few educational advantages. When nineteen, he began farming independently and caring for his mother. He was married in 1847 to Nancy, a daughter of Graham and Elizabeth Wallace, and a native of Harrison County, Kentucky. Their children are James H., Elizabeth, John N., Martha, William M., Robert G., and David J. (a lawyer and present clerk of the State Senate). Our subject came to this county in 1857, and four years later bought 120 acres of his present farm which now embraces 360 acres of finely improved land. He also owns forty acres elsewhere. He is a Democrat, and first voted for Polk, and is a prominent member of the Masonic order. He and his family are Baptists." The History of Lewis, Clark and Scotland Counties In the June 1840 term of the Pendleton County Court, David and three other men were appointed as "patrollers for this county". Pendleton County, Kentucky Order Book I In September of 1846, D.N. Glaves presented in court a certificate from Matilda Tillett, giving her consent for her son James Tillett "to be bound as an apprentice to said D.N. Glave, farmer, until Tillett is 21 years of age. Said James was aged 15 years on the 2nd day of the present month". In 1855, his sister Phoebe would marry James. Pendleton County, Kentucky Order Book I Nancy's sister, Mary married William Glaves, who is a cousin of her husband. Both families moved to Lewis County in the 1850s. Children of DAVID GLAVES and NANCY WALLACE are: 17. i. JAMES HARVEY5 GLAVES, b. December 12, 1848, Pendleton County, Kentucky; d. March 17, 1917, Labelle Township, Lewis County, Missouri. 18. ii. ELIZABETH J. GLAVES, "JENNIE", b. between 1851 - 1861, Pendleton County, Kentucky; d. 1936, Lewis County, Missouri. 19. iii. JOHN NEWTON GLAVES, b. September 28, 1853, Pendleton County, Kentucky; d. February 11, 1933, Lewis County, Missouri. iv. MARTHA A. GLAVES, "MATTIE", b. November 08, 1854, Pendleton County, Kentucky; d. 1945, Lewis County, Missouri; m. JOSEPH JOSIAH CARMAN, September 18, 1887; b. 1858; d. 1925, Lewis County, Missouri. 20. v. WILLIAM MICHAEL GLAVES, b. July 03, 1857, La Grange Township, Lewis County, Missouri; d. after 1920, Most likely California. 21. vi. ROBERT GRAHAM GLAVES, b. April 06, 1859, Lewis County, Missouri; d. October 04, 1940, Lewis County, Missouri. vii. DAVID J. GLAVES, b. December 1861, Lewis County, Missouri; d. after 1919, Lewis County, Missouri; m. MYRTLE C. UNKNOWN; b. June 1872, Missouri; d. 1920, Lewis County, Missouri. Notes for DAVID J. GLAVES: The biographical sketch of his father states that David was a lawyer and served for a time as the Clerk of the Missouri State Senate. The 1900 Lewis County, Missouri Census finds his sister "Lizzie J." and his Mother Nancy M. Wallace living with him. David and his wife Myrtle are buried in the Lewistown Cemetery sharing the same marker. No children of this marriage have yet to be identified. 8. WILLIAM M.4 GLAVES (THOMAS TURK3, MATTHEW2, MATTHEW1) was born April 22, 1820 in Pendleton County, Kentucky, and died May 18, 1881 in Lewis County, Missouri. He married MARY ANN WALLACE September 23, 1846 in Pendleton County, Kentucky, daughter of GRAHAM WALLACE and ELIZABETH MAKEMSON. She was born March 1827 in Kentucky, and died after 1900. Notes for WILLIAM M. GLAVES: There are few identifiable records of William living in Kentucky although he appears in the 1820 and 1840 census as an unnamed child in Thomas' family. "William Glave" was appointed as a Deputy Sheriff for Pendleton County in August of 1839. On July 18, 1843, William sued a man named James Blasingame for trespass, "...for Maliciously cutting the tail and disfiguring a grey mar(e), the property of said GLAVES whereof he claimes to the amount of $16 as damages." William won the lawsuit and was awarded $12 in September of that same year. Pendleton County Court Records William married Mary A. Wallace in 1846. Mary was the daughter of Graham and Elizabeth (Makemson) Wallace. Mary's sister Nancy married David Newton Glaves, William's cousin. William appears in the 1850 Pendleton County, Kentucky Census with Mary and their two oldest children; John and Graham. The Migration Mystery About 1855, virtually the entire Glaves family left the Pendleton County, Kentucky area and moved to northeastern Missouri. Lewis County, Missouri is on the Mississippi River across from Quincy, Illinois. No reason for the move has been found. Today, there are no Glaves living in Pendleton County and only a single grave, that of Michael T. Glaves (1825 - 1901) and his wife America, is recorded in the county. William, his brother James R. Glaves and cousins, David N. Glaves and Uriah Payne made the move to Missouri with their families. James was not married at the time so the exact time of his move can't be documented by the birth of children. The latest that James could have arrived would be 1858 since he was married that year. The reasons for the move remain a mystery. The 1860 census finds him living in Lewis County, Missouri with his wife Mary and the first five of their children. He lists his birthplace as well as Mary's and his two oldest sons as being Kentucky. He also lists his occupation as "Farmer". Lewis County, Missouri Organized on January 2, 1833, Lewis County was named in honor of Missouri's first Governor, Meriwether Lewis, the famed explorer of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. The County is located just north of Hannibal, Missouri, along the Mississippi River. The land is low-lying farmland. The largest town in the County is Canton. Most of the Glaves family located in LaBelle Township, on farms in the area. William appears in the 1870 Census at the age of 50, still living in Lewis County. Also living with the family is an "Elizabeth Glaves", born in 1800 who most likely is William's mother and the widow of his father Thomas T. Glaves. Although William was alive in 1880, he does not appear in the census of that year. William is buried in the Piner Cemetery, Dickerson Township, in Lewis County, Missouri. William's grave may have been mis-marked or mis-recorded since it lists his death as occurring in 1861. The 1900 Census lists Mary Glaves (73) living in Lewis County with her son Elmore Glaves. Children of WILLIAM GLAVES and MARY WALLACE are: i. JOHN G.5 GLAVES, b. 1847, Pendleton County, Kentucky. ii. GRAHAM GLAVES, b. March 03, 1849, Pendleton County, Kentucky; d. August 08, 1952, Lewis County, Missouri. Notes for GRAHAM GLAVES: If the dates on his headstone are correct, Graham appears to have been the longest living Glaves/Gleaves family member reaching the age of 103 years, 5 months and 23 days. Graham is buried in the Piner Cemetery, Dickerson Township, in Lewis County, Missouri. 22. iii. JAMES GLAVES, b. January 01, 1851, Pendleton County, Kentucky; d. January 14, 1922, Douglass, Kansas. iv. HENRY G. GLAVES, b. September 10, 1854, Lewis County, Missouri; d. January 28, 1888; m. EMMA MOORE, October 05, 1879, Butler County, Kansas. Notes for HENRY G. GLAVES: The International Genealogical Index lists him as "Henry C." and says his marriage occurred in Butler, Kansas. v. CATHERINE D. GLAVES, "KATIE", b. 1856, Lewis County, Missouri; m. JOHN E. BURCH; b. before 1850. 23. vi. WILLIAM MICHAEL GLAVES, JR., b. September 09, 1857, Lewis County, Missouri; d. after 1920, most likely in California. vii. EDWARD E. GLAVES, b. August 09, 1860, Lewis County, Missouri; d. October 16, 1860, Lewis County, Missouri. Notes for EDWARD E.

November 1952, Lewis County, Missouri. 9. JAMES REN4 GLAVES (THOMAS TURK3, MATTHEW2, MATTHEW1) was born April 22, 1830 in Pendleton County, Kentucky, and died September 04, 1900 in Lewis County, Missouri. He married OLIVIA NELSON WALTERS September 24, 1858 in Lewis County, Missouri, daughter of NIMROD WALTERS and ANGELINE WILSON. She was born August 11, 1842 in Lewis County, Missouri, and died June 10, 1918 in Lewis County, Missouri. Notes for JAMES REN GLAVES: Biographical Sketch of James Ren Glaves "JAMES R. GLAVES, farmer and stock raiser, was born in Pendleton County, Kentucky, in 1830, the son of Thomas T. and Elizabeth (Dance) Glaves, the former of English descent, born in Virginia in 1792, and the latter of the same state, born in 1800. The father came to Pendleton county, KY in his youth and died in 1843. The Mother lived in Kentucky from infancy and in 1864 came to this county where she died November 6, 1884. Our subject, the fourth of seven children, educated himself and lived with his Mother from his twelfth year to his majority. At the age of eighteen he began learning the blacksmith's trade, and three years later began independently excelling especially at horseshoeing. In 1855 he came to this county and farmed with his brother. Olvia N., the daughter of Nimrod Walters, became his wife October 24th, 1858. She was born in this county in 1842. Their children are John T., Mary A. (the wife of P.M. Day), William E., Sarah E., Emmet, Robert C., Charles N., Nimrod, Alma and Albert (twins), Archie, Daisy M. and Franklin P. He came - after six years in Highland Township - in 1863 to his estate of 160 acres and in 1879 traded it for his present home. He has made four farms in this county and erected many buildings; he owns at present 400 acres and is an influential citizen."

HARVARD November 27, 1864 in Pike, Illinois. She was born November 1845 in Illinois, and died after 1900. Notes for CHARLES W. GLAVES: Charles appears in both the 1850 and 1860 Pendleton County Census, living with his mother. Charles and his family appear in the 1880 census living in Marion County, Missouri, possibly in the town of Hannibal. This is very near Lewis County where our branch of the family settled. He was married in Pike County, Illinois, which is just across the Mississippi from Hannibal. He lists himself as being born in Kentucky although we know he was not part of the migration in 1855, and must have moved westward sometime after 1860. Charles served in the Union Army during the Civil War. He is listed as a Private in Company K of the 148th Illinois Infantry Regiment. He filed for a pension in connection with this service in 1891. Charles and his family appear in the Brookfield Township, Linn County, Missouri Census in 1900. This is the same time and location that Richard Glaves and his family appear. At least one daughter is listed as being born in Illinois. The RootsWeb's WorldConnect Project lists a Mary Harvard as the daughter of Thomas Jefferson and Clarissa (Tillman) Harvard. The birth date given is 1852 and the date of death is listed as May 13, 1917. More research is needed here. Children of CHARLES GLAVES and MARY HARVARD are: i. JOHN G.5 GLAVES, b.

Notes for URIAH PAYNE: Uriah is listed in several early entries under the name "Uriel". He was one of the cousins who moved to Missouri in the mid-1850s. The Lewis County, Missouri Census in 1860 lists Uriah's wife as named Olivia. She is listed as being 29 years old.

GLAVES, "JENNIE": Jennie is listed as living with her brother David J. in 1900 in Lewis County. It is not known where her husband, Elmer Burk was, since his gravestone says he didn't die until 1935. Elizabeth is also listed in both the 1910 & 1920 Lewis County, Missouri Census as living with her brother Robert Graham Glaves. Elizabeth and Elmer are buried in the Lewistown Cemetery and share the same headstone. A daughter, Naomi is also buried there and appears to have died young in 1890. No birth date is given.

Notes for JOHN NEWTON GLAVES: John is listed in the International Genealogical Index.as marrying "Lizzie Copple", the same spouse as another Glaves. The 1900 Lewis County, Missouri Census clears this up. The 1910 Census shows John as a widower with Edith still at home. Child of JOHN GLAVES and MARY COOPER is: i. EDITH VIRGINIA6 GLAVES, b. June 1889, Lewis County, Missouri. Notes for EDITH VIRGINIA GLAVES: Edith V. Glaves may be "Virgie Glaves" listed in the Social Security Death Index. Virgie was born in 1899, same year as Edith and died in California in 1980. If this is the same person, her Social Security account was still listed in her maiden name at the time of her death. 20. WILLIAM MICHAEL5 GLAVES (DAVID NEWTON4, MICHAEL3, MATTHEW2, MATTHEW1) was born July 03, 1857 in La Grange Township, Lewis County, Missouri, and died after 1920 most likely in California. He married ANNIE ROSALIE JOHNSTON before 1897, daughter of ELISHA JOHNSTON. She was born about 1870 in Carroll County, Missouri, and died after 1920 in Missouri. Notes for WILLIAM MICHAEL GLAVES: It appears that William adopted Leona Gladys Glaves, daughter of Michael W. and Posie ? - Glaves sometime after 1900 and before 1910. He is also listed in the 1910 Lewis County Census and the 1920 Fresno California Census. Biographical Sketch of William Michael Glaves "WILLIAM MICHAEL GLAVES -- A successful and prominent farmer of Fresno County who enjoyed an equally enviable reputation as an agriculturist in Missouri, is William Michael Glaves, who has one of the finest farm residences in Fresno County outside of Fresno City. He was born near La Grange, Lewis County, MO, on July 3, 1857, the son of David N. Glaves, who was born near Falmouth, KY, in 1819. Grandfather Michael Glaves was a major in the War of 1812, and afterwards, while major at a general muster in 1823, was accidentally killed through being thrown from his horse. The Glaves family came from Virginia to Kentucky as pioneers of Scotch-Irish descent; the father was a farmer in Kentucky and married Nancy A. Wallace, also a native of Kentucky. Grandfather Graham Wallace was of Scotch de-scent and moved from Kentucky to Missouri; the mother was a cousin of General Lew Wallace. The father moved to Lewis County, MO, in the spring of 1857, and bought a farm there; and he died on August 16, 1888. The mother died at the old home in 1901. She had seven children, and William Michael was the fifth in the order of birth. James H. died at La Belle, Mo., on March 18.1917; Elizabeth J. resides at La Belle; John N. is in Lewiston. Lewis County, MO, Martha, now Mrs. Joseph Carman, is at the same place; as is also Robert G. and D. G. Glaves is at the old home at Ewing. Reared on a farm William attended the public schools and the Christian University of Canton. MO, and then remained home to engage in farming. He rented land and went in for grain and stock; and he got such a successful start that he was able to buy a farm seven miles south of Lewiston. Later he bought another farm and had cattle and hogs, and he leased still other farmlands. He became a large feeder of cattle and hogs, and shipped to St. Louis and Chicago; he also went in for raising horses and mules. When he started, he and his brother rented sixty acres of land and began to feed hogs. He bought hogs at four cents a pound and made the weight 270; and he sold at six and a half and seven cents a pound, and was successful. The following year they rented seventy acres, and at the end of two years bought 160 acres. They fed two loads of cattle and 130 hogs the first season and after nine years of partnership, they dissolved. In 1914, Mr. Glaves traded his home place for forty acres at Tranquillity and property in Fresno. CA, and came to Kerman; and later he traded 160 acres for eighty acres in Empire devoted to alfalfa. He engaged in stock raising and set out forty-two and a half acres in Thompson seedless, for which he paid $14,600. He improved it, and in 1918 sold it at good profit. Mr. Glaves still owns property in Fresno. In 1918 he bought for a home his present place, twenty acres at the corner of Shields and Thompson avenues, and set out much of it to Thompson seedless grapes and he built his handsome residence in Mission style, and made it one of the finest residences in this section. At La Belle, MO, Mr. Glaves was married to Miss Annie Rosalie Johnston, a native of Carroll County, MO, and the daughter of Elisha Johnston, who was born in Ohio. When thirteen he came to Missouri and served in the Union Army during the Civil War; then he came to California, where he was a grain farmer near Monmouth. After fifteen years he returned to Missouri, and lived there about twelve years; then he came to California and to Phoenix. AZ, and on July 22,1918, he died at Oakland. He married Mary J. Walker, a native of Ohio, who now resides in Stockton. In all these years he made four different trips to California and spent the winters here. Mrs. Glaves was educated in the Monmouth public schools and attended an academy at Eldon. Seven children were born to this favored couple, and of these six are living, Viola Mary having died when she was four months old. The others are; Leona Gladys, who married Wilhelm Hansen on June 1,1919, and resides in Kerman; Doris Elizabeth, who attends the Kerman high school; Robert Wallace; Vera Irene: William Michael, Jr.; and Mildred Lucile. The family attends the Baptist Church; and in matters of national politics, Mr. Glaves is a Socialist. He is a member of the California Associated Raisin Company and is a supporter of all public enterprises that help build up the county. He was a member of the Grange in Missouri, also of the Farmers' Alliance there." The History of Fresno County, California Children of WILLIAM GLAVES and ANNIE JOHNSTON are: i. VIOLA MARY6 GLAVES, b. May 07, 1897, Lewis County, Missouri; d. September 09, 1897, Lewis County, Missouri. Notes for VIOLA MARY GLAVES: Viola is buried in the Mt. Olivet Cemetery, Salem Township, Lewis County Missouri. The marker states she is the daughter of "WM & AR". ii. LEONA GLADYS GLAVES, b. January 1899, Lewis County, Missouri; d. after 1920; m. WILHELM HANSON, June 01, 1919; b. about 1895. Notes for LEONA GLADYS GLAVES: Leona was the daughter of Michael W. and Posie Unknown. She is listed as living with them in 1900. In the 1910 Lewis County Census and the 1920 Fresno, California Census she is listed as the daughter of William Michael Glaves and probably was adopted. iii. DORIS ELIZABETH GLAVES, b. May 13, 1903; d. October 09, 1993, Modesto, California. Notes for DORIS ELIZABETH GLAVES: Doris is listed in the Social Security Death Index as dying in Modesto, California in 1993. Her card was issued in California. The account listed her at the time of her death under her maiden name so she may have never married. iv. MILDRED LUCILLE GLAVES, b. about 1905. v. ROBERT WALLACE GLAVES, b. 1905. vi. VERA IRENE GLAVES, b. 1908. vii. WILLIAM MICHAEL GLAVES, JR., b. about 1910, Missouri or California. Notes for WILLIAM MICHAEL GLAVES, JR.: This may be the William Glaves (1904-1970) who died in El Dorado, Kansas, of unknown heritage. If this were the same person, it would be an odd coincidence that William Michael came to Butler County, Kansas. William Michael's father, William Sr. (1857-after 1918) moved his family from Missouri to Fresno, California in 1914. William Sr's. 2nd cousin, James (1851-1922), came to Butler County, Kansas in 1878 and raised his family there. To date, no connection has been made between this individual and James' family. The only record of the other William is in the Social Security Death Index. He is listed as receiving his card in Kansas. It is also listed as his residence at the time of his death in 1970. This is a fairly common first name in the family and may not be the same person. 21. ROBERT GRAHAM5 GLAVES (DAVID NEWTON4, MICHAEL3, MATTHEW2, MATTHEW1) was born April 06, 1859 in Lewis County, Missouri, and died October 04, 1940 in Lewis County, Missouri. He married SALLIE P. TURNER December 24, 1884, daughter of JOHN TURNER and MARTHA SMITH. She was born March 1862 in Lewis County, Missouri, and died 1904 in Lewis County, Missouri. Notes for ROBERT GRAHAM GLAVES: Biographical Sketch of Robert Graham Glaves "ROBERT G. GLAVES is a farmer and stock raiser. He was born April 6, 1859, in this county, the sixth of seven children of D.N. and Nancy (Wallace) Glaves, the former of Scotch-Irish ancestry, born in Pendleton County, in 1821. The grandfather, Michael, was a Virginian, the son of Michael Sr., a native of Ireland. The younger Michael went to Kentucky, where he married and had two children. He was accidentally killed by a horse, when D.N. the father, was about eighteen months old. The father was meagerly educated, and was married in December of 1847. In 1857, he came to this county, and since 1861 has lived on his present farm, which embraces 360 acres. Both parents are Baptists. Our subject attended La Grange College for one term, and was married December 24, 1884. His wife Sallie T., is the daughter of John and Martha Turner, and a native of this county. He has since lived on his present farm which includes 160 acres on Oyster Prairie. He is a thorough businessman and has engaged largely in stock raising. He voted for Gen. Hancock, the candidate of his party. He and his wife are Baptists. The grandfather was a lieutenant in the war of 1812, and his sword and watch are in the possession of the family of the father D.N. The watch served as a time piece for two generations." The History of Lewis, Clark and Scotland Counties Sallie appears to be related to Lizzie Turner (but not listed as a sister) who married James Glaves, Robert's brother. There is a second Robert G. Glaves born about the same time that is the son of David N. Glaves. The second cousins both lived in Lewis County Missouri. There is no definite information to identify which Robert really married Sallie. Robert and Sallie are buried in the Lewistown Cemetery sharing the same marker. Child of ROBERT GLAVES and SALLIE TURNER is: 44. i. LLOYD N.6 GLAVES, b. July 22, 1890, Lewis County, Missouri; d. February 1981, Missouri. 22. JAMES5 GLAVES (WILLIAM M.4, THOMAS TURK3, MATTHEW2, MATTHEW1) was born January 01, 1851 in Pendleton County, Kentucky, and died January 14, 1922 in Douglass, Kansas. He married ELIZABETH JANE TURNER, "LIZZIE" November 21, 1875 in Lewis County, Missouri, daughter of JOHN TURNER and MARTHA SMITH. She was born July 30, 1857 in Lewis County, Missouri, and died January 03, 1925 in Canton, Missouri. Notes for JAMES GLAVES: James is the son of William M. Glaves. He was born in Kentucky and made the trek with the family to Lewis County, Missouri when he was about four years old. There is little documentation of James early life. He and Lizzie (Turner) Glaves appear in the 1880 Kansas Census listing the couple as well as their two oldest sons, John William and Frank. Also listed, as a border living with them is a J.M. Turner (24), most likely Lizzie's brother. The 1900 Census finds them still living in Butler County. Their third son, Everett, is also listed but John William and Frank have married and moved out by then. Their granddaughter, Alma Warren remembered that Lizzie had a mean streak and smoked a pipe. James and Elizabeth Turner-Glaves (date of photograph is unknown) Kansas Migration James and "Lizzie" Glaves moved to Butler County, Kansas from Lewis County, Missouri between 1878 and '80. James claimed to be tired of being flooded out by the Mississippi River. They originally settled in the Latham area before moving to the Douglass area. "Douglass townsite was laid out in an area which has four steams within two miles of town. Pioneers took claims in the rich valley lands of these waterways. An early day writer stated the abundance of trees along the four streams was not equaled when journeying west until the traveler reached the Rocky Mountains. Pecan, walnut, hickory, oak, ash, elm sycamore and hackberry were some of the kinds of trees which were great in size, when settlers first came. Then it was said, "in all of Kansas no healthier or more beautiful place could be found for a townsite." Douglass was first called the Gem City of the Walnut Valley". The area upon which Douglass was laid out had been looked over prior to the beginning of settlement in 1868. The acres Joseph Douglass chose for his claim are the ones upon which he had the city platted by S.L. Shotwell, December 17, 1869. Joseph Douglass was a distinguished soldier of the Union Army. He was a member of the Eighth New York Cavalry. At Fort Zarah, Kansas, he met Sam Shaff, a distant relative, hunter and scout. In April 1868, Douglass and Shaff pitched a tent on the bank of the Walnut west of town. Increasing migration made them realize a town should be started. The townsite was: a gently sloping piece of ground in the big bend of the beautiful Walnut," an early writer states. For a number of years before Joseph Douglass laid out his townsite a Texas cattle trail crossed the Walnut River about a mile north of the present day town. Great herds of cattle were driven from Texas ranges to Kansas railheads. Many men who drove the cattle were too dishonest and reckless to live in a settled society. The Civil War and border warfare had trained some men to violence. Rustlers, thieves, and wild characters came and went in the Douglass area. Those who were suspect were in danger of being shot down. The situation gave rise to the formation of the Vigilance Committee to protect Douglass citizens. Vigilantes prepared the "Vigilante Manifesto". They hung four horse thieves the evening of December 2, 1870. The names of the vigilantes who did the hanging constitute a well guarded secret for over 100 years." The Douglass Story Obituary of James Glaves "James Glaves was born in Bourbon County, Kentucky, January 1, 1851. When still a baby, he moved with his parents to Lewis County, Missouri where on November 21, 1875 he was united in marriage to Miss Lizzie Turner. In 1878 they moved to Kansas settling near Latham, later coming to the Waverly neighborhood residing there and in Douglass until his death on January 14th. Three sons were born to them J.W., J.F. and E.N. who with their mother, 11 grandchildren and 1 great grandson survive. He united with the Baptist Church when a young man. All who knew him knew his worth - honest, sober, industrious man. Funeral services were held at the home, Sunday afternoon, January 15th at 2 o'clock. After that he was laid to rest in the Douglass Cemetery." Obituary of Elizabeth J. Turner-Glaves "Mrs. Elizabeth J. Glaves died suddenly at the home of her sister, at Canton, Missouri, last Saturday noon. She had been enjoying fair health and some weeks ago left her home in Douglass to spend the winter among relatives and former friends in Northeast Missouri. Upon receiving the sad message of her death, her son, J.W. Glaves, left that same evening for Canton, Missouri and last Tuesday morning arrived here with the body. A brother of the deceased also came. The funeral was held at her late home Wednesday afternoon, the services being conducted by Reverend Watts. Very many friends and aquanitenances from the town and the country gathered to pay a tribute of respect to a most worthy mother. Elizabeth J. Turner was born in Lewis County, Missouri July 30, 1857, and died in Canton, Missouri January 3, 1925 being at the time of her death 67 years, 5 months, and 3 days old. She was united in marriage to James Glaves of Lewis County, Missouri in November 1875. To them were born 3 sons, William, Frank and Everett. Mr. & Mrs. Glaves moved from Missouri to Kansas, 2 years after their marriage and lived in the country east of Douglass until buying property in town and moving here. Her husband died January 14, 1922. While still in her girlhood she professed faith in Jesus and united with the Baptist Church. She leaves to mourn her departure two brothers, two sisters, three sons, eleven grandchildren, four great-grandchildren and a large circle of friends and acquaintances."

WILLIAM MICHAEL5 GLAVES, JR. (WILLIAM M.4, THOMAS TURK3, MATTHEW2, MATTHEW1) was born September 09, 1857 in Lewis County, Missouri, and died after 1920 in Most likely California. He married MARY EMMA TRUE January 31, 1884, daughter of SIMON TRUE and KATIE MUIR. She was born May 16, 1864 in Knox County, Missouri, and died October 02, 1931 in Fresno, California. Notes for WILLIAM MICHAEL GLAVES, JR.: Biographical Sketch of William M. Glaves "WILLIAM M. GLAVES, merchant, was born in Lewis County, September 9, 1858, the son of William M. and Mary A. (Wallace) Glaves, the former born in 1820, in Pendleton County, Ky., where he married in 1846. In 1851 he came to this county, and finally became owner of 560 acres of land, and died in August 1881, as a prominent citizen. The mother, born in the above county in Kentucky, in 1827, has had eleven children. Our subject, the seventh, was educated at La Grange College, and lived at home until twenty-three years of age. January 31, 1884, be married Emma, a daughter of Walton True, and born in Knox County, Mo., in May 1865. Their only child, Elbert V., was born February 14, 1885.

He has been a steward and superintendent of Sunday schools in the Methodist Episcopal Church, serving four years in the latter position. His wife is a member of the same church." The History of Lewis, Clark and Scotland Counties In 1910 William and his family had moved to Lasalle County, Texas where he had a farm. He appears in 1910 Census there with his wife and four children. His biography lists only one child and more research is needed here, as there were several individuals in Lewis County by the same name. Sometime before 1920 he moved his family to Fresno, California. His two granddaughters (daughters of Meeka and Nancy) living with him in 1920, were born in Texas. William's vital statistics come from California Death Records. Emma is listed as being buried at Belmont Memorial Park, no location given. Children of WILLIAM GLAVES and MARY TRUE are: i.

ROBERT WALLACE5 GLAVES (WILLIAM M.4, THOMAS TURK3, MATTHEW2, MATTHEW1) was born January 27, 1865 in Lewis County, Missouri, and died June 26, 1910 in Tolona, Missouri. He married MARY RACHEL RICHARDSON, "MOLLIE" January 15, 1891. She was born January 06, 1872 in Lewis County, Missouri, and died December 24, 1953 in Lewis County, Missouri. Notes for ROBERT WALLACE GLAVES: Robert was a merchant, running a store in the village of Tolona, Missouri until his death at the age of 45. Shortly after his death an obituary appeared in the Canton newspaper authored by someone named C.I. Hoyt. He may have been the minister that officiated at Robert's funeral service. It is included here in its entirety. Obituary of Robert W. Glaves "In Lewis Co.; about three miles east of Lewistown, on Jan, 27, 1865 Robert W. Glaves was born. He lived on the farm of his father until he was a young man. During these years the great principles of life were instilled in him and they never left him. He learned lessons when a boy that became his success, the rude side of life never became prominent in his living. It was during these tender years of his youth he found the secret of success, a Christian life , and at 12 years of age he gave himself to Christ and never seen the day he could turn Him down for "Wild Oats." Bro. Glaves lived his life louder than he talked it, and other people talked for him. He loved men and their souls; he loved the children and gave years of his life as a Sunday school Superintendent and teacher leading the in God's Word. He is loyal to his church, not being able to attend very often, yet he never forgot. He was married on January 15, 1891 twenty six years of age to Miss Mollie Richardson. They moved to Tolona and run a store until his death at the village. There were born four children to them, of which three are living. Bro. Glaves health failed him, and his physician advised him to take a trip, an in May he started for Texas. To impress what I have written, just before leaving he wanted his brothers to come in and they would invoke God's blessings on his family before he left, and they could not go so he called in an old friend of his and they had family prayers. He went to Texas but his condition was such a change of climate could not reach or check, hence he got worse and on June 26, 1910 he passed away being 45, years 4 months and 29 days. After the physician told him he could not live any longer, he said, "I hate to leave my family but Thy will be done" and then he said, "There is not a cloud in my way" and died as triumphantly as Paul, from the prison, or Moses from Mount Pesgar Heights. There ends the life of this godly man and if I was to write a biography, I would say, he was a Christian man, a good husband, a good father and a good citizen, and since he is gone from us not to return I would exhort his family, brothers and friends to go to him. The funeral services were conducted at the M.E. church South, Lewistown, Mo. There was a large congregation assembled and it was one of the most heart rendering services your servant ever held or attended. May you find comfort in his great life and triumphant death, and remember your friends in deep sympathy with you. He was buried in the Lewistown cemetery. Oh where will such a man appear? In a mansion bright and fair? Yes, where there is neither pain nor tear. And free from all worry and care. Gone to God's house to dwell. Gone to join the angel chorus so Farewell. C.I. Hoyt" Robert and Mollie are buried in the Lewistown Cemetery sharing the same marker. Children of ROBERT GLAVES and MARY RICHARDSON are: i. ELSIE MAY6 GLAVES, b.

When picked up from the floor it was thought that he was dead. Aid was quickly summoned and on making an examination it was found that both legs and one arm was broken, his skull fractured and internal injuries sustained which could not but end fatally. Mr. Glaves was 42 years of age, was born and raised in this county, being the oldest son of Jas. Glaves of near Lewistown. He leaves a wife and seven children besides a large circle of relatives and friends to mourn his unfortunate death. He was highly respected by all who knew him."

Ella's Letter to Her Children This Author received from Roxy (Frans) Olmstead, a copy of a letter believe to be written by Ella on July 29th, 1953. The letter was written two years before her death and was intended to be read after she passed away. I do not know the circumstances of the discovery of the letter, but enter it here as further insight into Elmira Adeline Miller. "Dear Loved Ones, Have loved everyone, in-laws and blood, even if I did have a poor way of showing it, even to the third and fourth generations and my prayer for you is John 17-9. Don't think I'm mournful over death, glad did I live and gladly die, "for at 76 you realize there's a time to be born and a time to die". Haven't been the best wife and mother in the world but I wanted to be, am hoping my memory will draw you each one closer together, and all closer to God. Have been a good family to me and I thank you! Be good children of the good God for the (illegible) and this home-coming there where we'll meet so many who've gone on, as my grandmother Miller would say I'm answering for them and to read the mystery aright. But I know whatever is, we'll find it is alright. When Dad is thru with what we have, if it is alright with him, let each take what they gave us and divide the rest equally among the six without any trouble. Loving each and hoping we're together after this. Sorry I was no better mother, but thanks once more for your kindness and good nite till we meet. Mother" Included with Ella's letter was the following handwritten poem. I do not know if she is the author or if she copied from another source. My struggling soul may never win the prize it covets so, I may never reach the gates paradise at sunset glow, But I have faith that in the ages blue at set of sun, I shall be judged by what I tried to do, not what I've done.

Some are almost definitely not of our line and are presented here to help researchers avoid spending time on lines that cannot be connected. Colonial Pennsylvania and Maryland We do know that Matthew was not the first with the Family surname to come to the New World. That distinction appears to belong to "George GLAVE (GLEAVE) of Knutsford". He and his wife Ann Duncalfe of Hale Bowden Parish came to Bucks County, Pennsylvania in 1682 aboard the ship "The Friends Adventure". George and Ann had been married in 1679 and came to the New World with their son, John, born September 14, 1680. As reported in Chapter One, a second "George GLEAVE" settled in Chester County, Pennsylvania in 1683. He and his wife Isabella, along with their son George, arrived in Philadelphia in September of 1683 aboard the ship "Freindship". George and Isabella were indentured servants to John Hough for a period of four years and their son George until he turned 21. They eventually settled in Burlington County, Pennsylvania where he was a wheelwright by trade. George and Isabella both died prior to 1690 and their son George Jr. moved to Shrewsbury Parish, Kent County, Maryland. George married a woman named Sarah and the christening dates of their seven children are documented in local church records there. These seven named children were born between 1703 and 1725, although none were named Matthew. The Pennsylvania Colony George's Will, filed in 1733, lists him as "GLEAVES". The Will divides his property between his three sons on a roughly equal basis. Members of this family can be found in Kent County records at least up to the Civil War. If there were a connection between these individuals and our Matthew, it would go back to his grandparents in England. Southeast Ohio? Not Likely Beginning with the 1820 Census, a number of individuals named GLEAVES appear in Southeast Ohio in the counties of Jefferson, Belmont and Guernsey. These counties are clustered on the border near Wheeling, West Virginia. Future generations of this line would settle in Nodaway County, Missouri. The sons of William, Michael and Matthew have been accounted for and it is unlikely that the "Ohio GLEAVES" connect directly to Matthew's line. It is possible that these individuals descend from the Gleaves who settled in Kent County, Maryland. There is a curious coincidence that seems to keep the debate alive. Isaac L. Gleaves 1834 - 1908 Isaac is somewhat of a mystery. He was born in Ohio and served in the Union Army during the Civil War with Company D of the 86th Illinois Infantry. On February 17, 1864, he was in Davidson County, Tennessee where he married a woman named Margaret A. Myers, "Maggie". The marriage appears in Marriage Book #5 with the notation after his name "USA", meaning he was still in the Army. The couple settled in Davidson County where they raised their family. Isaac, Maggie and four of their children are listed in the 1880 Census, living in Davidson County. Was it just coincidence that had him marry and settle in Davidson County, home to so many other Gleaves? Just one more unanswered question. The Gleaves of Greenville, Pennsylvania Another possible Family connection can be found in Western Pennsylvania near the Ohio border. In this particular case the evidence is not court records, but rather a piece of glass. The bottle appears to be from before 1900. It is clear, with a blue/green tint. It is about the size of an old time Coca-Cola bottle. Imprinted into the glass is the following: SEELINGER & GLEAVES CELEBRATED MINERAL WATER GREENVILLE PA On the backside at the base are these initials "A. D. H. C." which may the company that made the bottle. Greenville, Pennsylvania is located about 50 miles South of Erie. While there are a number of Seelinger families found in the area, a search for any record of a Gleaves family in Western Pennsylvania has not turned up any promising leads. Harold Bird Gleaves 1883-1963 Harold first appears in Galveston, Texas in 1893 through a report card signed by his father, Joseph Gleaves. In 1938, he appears in the Monett, Missouri City Directory as the manager of the Martin Hotel. Monett is near Springfield. He has been the subject of a significant amount of research but with limited results. Only recently has Lois Gleaves rediscovered a letter written in 1979 by Harold's daughter Helen, in which she states: "He(Harold) was born in Ely, England in 1883- His parents came to America (to Galveston, Texas) in 1887-- My father's name was Harold Bird Gleaves- His father was Joseph Gleaves born in Cambridge, England in 1856-- His father was William Gleaves." It would appear that the Cambridge, England connection could possibly make this line distant cousins, but definitely not a part of Matthew's Family traced in this document. The information contained in the letter is insufficient to trace this line back to a connecting point, but does provide enough clues to warrant further research. Strong Candidates For Family Ties It would appear that the individuals that are most likely related to the Matthew Gleaves line share a common geographical heritage; that being some connection to the State of Tennessee. Listed below a number of individuals with a strong likelihood of someday being grafted into our Family Tree. William Fredrick Glaves 1788-1843 This individual appears in a number of documents at various times under the names William Fredrick, Luther, Peter and John. These all appear to be the same individual, although this can not be proven with the information this author possesses. William married Elizabeth Goodner about 1826, presumably in Smith County, Tennessee. Elizabeth Goodner, was born January 6, 1810 in Carthage, Smith County, Tennessee. Smith County adjoins Wilson County where so many Family members have been documented. The principal source of information on William is various Goodner family records, some of which are in this author's possession. These records state that he was born in Germany in 1788, which is questionable, since the only place where the family name is found is in England. Elizabeth's parents moved to Bradley County, Tennessee in 1836. If William's date of birth were correct, he would have been 48 years old when he married a 16-year-old girl. William reportedly died on November 23, 1843. He is reported to have worked as a steamboat pilot who died in an accident on the Mississippi River, near New Madrid County, Missouri. Madison County, Missouri Bible Records A "John GLAVES " is listed in the 1830 Census in Smith County, Tennessee. He age is listed as being 30-40 and his wife 20-30. A son and a daughter, both under five years old, are also listed. The 1840 Census for the same county lists a "William F. GLAISE" that appears to be the same person. He is now 50-60 and his wife is 30-40. The Census also enumerates 9 children. Goodner records only list the names of 3 of the children. The Most Likely Family Connection: Michael Michael GLAVES (1758-1811) came to the Davidson County, Tennessee area sometime between 1785-1787. His travels are well documented in Chapter 4 of this document. He married a woman named Rachel and the seven children of this marriage have all been accounted for. During his lifetime, the family surname is listed as GLAVES, but shortly after his death, his children begin appearing in court documents with the name spelled "GLEAVES". Several researchers, including this author, believe that Michael was married more than once. There are several indications he took a wife prior to marrying Rachel. Birth dates for some of his older children appear to occur before his arrival in Tennessee and prior to the reported date of Michael and Rachel's marriage Early Tennessee records list several other men with the family surname. The uniqueness of the surname makes this author suspect that some relationship to Michael exists. All the records uncovered occurred after Michael came to Tennessee. As reported earlier, unrelated Gleaves families settled in Pennsylvania and Maryland, although there is no known record of any member of these families migrating to Tennessee. Sophia P. Gleaves Tennessee and Texas Sophia was born before 1820 in Tennessee, and died in 1849 in Red River County, Texas. She married William Cocke Young on September 25,1833 in Davidson County, Tennessee. Their marriage appears in Davidson County Marriage Book #1. He was born May 12, 1812 in Davidson County, Tennessee, and died October 16, 1862 in Cooke County, Texas. The couple moved to Red River County, Texas in 1837. "Young's first wife was Sophia Gleaves, with whom he had six children. After her death in 1849 he married Ann Hutchinson, and they had two children." http://www.tsha.utexas.edu/handbook/online/articles/print/YY/fyo14.html Francis Gleaves Smith County, Tennessee Francis appears around the turn of the 18th century. He is listed as delinquent on the Smith County, Tennessee tax rolls on August 1, 1800. He is listed as owning 2,560 acres on Salt Lick Creek on the waters of the Cumberland River. Francis would have been too old to be one of Michael's children born at Fort Mansker and could possibly be a child from a previous marriage. A Sumner County, Tennessee court entry identifies Francis in the area even earlier. "2 March 1798, William Tyrell, Knox County, Tennessee to Thomas Draper, $320.00, 320 acres part of a tract originally granted to Francis Gleaves, 2560 acres lying on Salt Lick Creek the waters of the Cumberland River." Sumner County, Tennessee Deeds, page 320 As reported earlier, a man named William Fredrick Glaves would appear in Smith County Census records in 1830 and 1840. Edward M. Gleaves World War I Veteran Edward was born on August 29, 1895 in Mt. Juliet, Wilson County, Tennessee, and died September 1969 in Davidson County, Tennessee. Edward appears on the rolls of World War I veterans from Wilson County. Edward is also listed in the Social Security Death Index and that is where his vital information is derived. His obituary appeared in the Nashville Tenneesean on October 2, 1969, it stated that he was a minister. It also listed him as "Senior" suggesting that he married and had a son by the same name. Osage County, Kansas This one may be a stretch, but worth listing here. Guy Gleaves was born about 1857 and died December 06, 1926 in Osage County, Kansas. He is buried in the South 9th Street Cemetery in Osage City, Kansas. No other information has been found. Three women named Gleaves are also buried there, although their relationship to Guy has not been established. Fannie, age 68, died June 7, 1937 Goldie A., age 31, died July 14, 1916 Lizzie, age 36, died March 26, 1918 Reverend Eugene Gleaves Nashville, Tennessee Eugene was born April 26, 1884 in Nashville, Davidson County, Tennessee, and died October 1974 in Nashville, Davidson County, Tennessee. Eugene appears on the rolls of World War I veterans from Davidson County. His obituary appeared in the Nashville Tennessean on November 1, 1974. The obituary also lists the title of "Reverend". Vital statistics for Eugene are also derived from the Social Security Death Index. Cedar Grove Cemetery Wilson County, Tennessee As with many Family riddles, this one provides some interesting connections to the Gleaves line in Tennessee. Buried in this cemetery are Americus D. Gleaves (1809-1899) and his wife, Eliza T. Everett. Also buried there is a grandson of his brother Thomas, Jesse Harrison Gleaves (1859-1915) and his wife Annie Hawks. A yet to be identified woman named Atlanta Gleaves Williamson (1863-1936) is also interred there. Americus and Eliza were married in 1859 and so far, no children have been identified with this marriage. No proof, just another coincidence that needs to be researched. Even more curious is a male also interred at this site, John Absolom Gleaves (about 1846-1929). Information on John states that he was a Confederate Soldier, but offers no other information that would connect him to the Family. A search of this database does not produce anyone by this name in any records uncovered to date. Joe Gleaves Joe was born sometime before 1878, and died in 1909 in Cheatham County, Tennessee. He married a woman named Blanche Shivers on December 22, 1892 in Cheatham County. She would have been born before 1880. The only record of this individual is the marriage entry. The most likely parents of Joe are William D. Gleaves and Louisa Lowe who were married in Cheatham County in 1860. This author has yet to definitely identify any children with William and Louisa. More research is needed here. Joe's date of death comes from the Tennessee Death Index and has not been positively confirmed as being this individual. ********** Many more unanswered questions remain. Over time, some mysteries will be solved and others will surface. The fascinating challenge to researchers is that the work on our Family will never be completed, just pushed to new frontiers. 12 Fun Family Facts Many of you have stories involving members of the Family.
