Author: jhorsley46 Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.horsley/458.2.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: There is a Maryland Chancery Court case that proves Joseph Horsley, whose widow Rosamond married Richard Ladd, died with no heirs. By the laws of primogeniture, that would mean not only did he have no children, but also no brothers "of same blood"--that is, no brothers who had both the same parents as Joseph. The inclusion of females is more complicated, and I can't recall where/if any females would fit in this adjudication, but that's irrelevant in the search for male Horsley descendants.) The Chancery Court record reads in part: "The Sd Jurors further Say that the Sd Joseph Horsley dyed the five and Twentieth day of ffebruary in the year of our Lord God 1670 And one Richard Ladd & Rosamond his now wife the Relict of the Said Joseph Horsley... And the Said Jurors further Say that they Cannot find any heir of the Said Joseph Horshey within the Sd province of maryland nor elsewhere.." From: Proceedings of the Court of Chancery, 1669-1679 Vol 51, Chancery Court Proceedings, 1676. (p 188-191), The case can be found in the Maryland Archives Online and begins on the bottom of page 188 found here: http://aomol.net/megafile/msa/speccol/sc2900/sc2908/000001/000051/html/am51--188.html Personally, I believe there is some connection between Joseph Horsley and a younger James Horsley Sr. of Queen Annes County, MD, but haven't yet been able to make the connection. I think there are clues still to be traced in earlier VA records of Joseph Horsley's probable father Ralph Horsley who died in Northumberland County, VA. (Just before posting this I saw the previous post from Mildred, and yes, Mildred, I do think it's the same family. Ralph almost certainly came to VA from Maryland.)

There had been a question as to whether she was the daughter of someone else as she was not with Erasmus and Elizabeth in 1881. I have also found her in 1911 with Erasmus and Elizabeth aged 46 years old, so I think we can safely assume she is Elizabeth's daughter from her marriage to George. We have also decided that Charles C. and Joseph C.C. Marriott with the family in the Censuses. I will see if I can find Charles/Joseph in 1911 and get back to you.

RICHARD HORSLEY, born Queen Anne's County, MD, served in the Revolution from Halifax County, VA. At the end of 1789, Richard sold his Halifax land, in preparation to move to York County, SC, along with his parents, James & Patience Horsley, and other family and friends. This deed below that I found at the Halifax County Courthouse proves that Richard Horsley's wife's name was MARGARET (phonetically spelled here "Marget" but indexed as "Margaret"). - - - - - - - - - Deed from RICHARD HORSLEY and wife MARGARET to WILLIAM WESLEY Halifax County VA - 200 acres - Dated 20 November 1789 - Recorded 23 August 1790 [Halifax Deed Book 16, p. 396, Halifax County Courthouse, Halifax, VA]   This indenture made this twentieth day of November in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred eighty nine [20 Nov 1789] between RICHARD HORSLY [sic], MARGET HORSLEY his wife of Halifax County of the one part and William WESLEY of said county of the other part witnesseth that the said Richard Horsley and his wife Marget Horsley for & in consideration of the sum of fifty [50] pounds current money of Virginia to them in hand paid by the said William Wesley at and before the ensealing and delivery of these presents the recipt whereof we do hereby acknowledge we the said Richard Horsley and Marget Horsley his wife hath given granted bargained sold aliened released and confirmed and by these presents doth give grant bargain sell alien release and confirm unto the said William Wesley his heirs & assigns one certain tract or parcel of land containing by estimation two hundred [200] acres more or less situated lying being in the county of Halifax on the upper side of WINS CREEK and bounded as followeth to wit, beginning at a corner white oake in FOSTERs line thence ["oft" or "ofl" follows each "thence"] south 72 east 61 chani [with interlined e above the a; actually should be chain] in to a red oak thence south 16 west 11 chain to a white oak saplin thence south 72-1/2 west 95 chain to pointers in McKNIGHTs line thence north 50 west 48 chain to a pine thence 38 east 81-1/2 chain to a large pine thence along a deviding line to the beginning, with all wood under woods swamps marshes low ground houses out houses water & water courses profits advantages appertenance & appurtinances whatsoever [etc]   In witness whereof we the sd Richard Horsley & Marget Horsley his wife hath hereunto Interchangably set [interlined: each of] our hand [unto?] the day and year first above written.   Signed: RICHARD (x) HORSLEY, MARGET (x) HORSLEY [Richard & Margaret sign by mark]   Signed sealed and delivered in presents of us:   Wit: Joseph PULLIAM, John BRANDON, John JONES,  James BRANDON   At a Court held for Halifax County the  23 August 1790 the within written indenture was prove by the oath of two of the witnesses thereunto subscribed to be the act of deed of the within named Richard Horsley party thereto & was ordered certifyed and at another court held for said County the 27th day of July 1795 the said indenture was further proved by one other of the witnesses thereunto subscribed to be the act and deed of the said Horsley party thereto and was ordered to be recorded.  Test: G. Carrington CHC   [Source: Halifax Deed Book 16, p. 396, Halifax County Courthouse, Halifax, VA. Transcribed by Joan Horsley, original spelling retained, caps added,  comments in brackets.] - - - - - - - - - - - -   MARGARET HORSLEY may be the daughter of JOHN N. BRANDON, deceased before 26 Jan 1795, when the Inventory and Appraisal of his estate was recorded. [Halifax Will Book  3, p. 158] A Halifax County deed dated 4 Jan 1799 and proved 28 Jan 1799 [Halifax Deed Book 18, p. 53] says RICHARD HORSLEY and Abner Rodden were legatees of "JOHN N. BRANDON" indicating Richard's wife was John N. Brandon's daughter, as would be Rodden's. Whether this wife was Margaret or someone else is not clear, since "Horsley Families of America" by Scott and Horsley says Richard's wife was named Susan. However, the authors give no source or explanation for her name. Perhaps there is a York County, SC record that would give Richard's wife's name at a later date. Also, a distribution of John N. Brandon's estate (if one exists) should give his children's name.   I have made a transcription of the 1799 Horsley/Rodden deed that I would be glad to share, along with notes I have made about it. The deed has a number of irregularities, so think it best not to post it here "as is," without more detailed explanation about its problems. You can contact me at [email protected]   Joan Horsley      

Just as I got into the New Year, I realized I never posted this information about James Horsley Jr.'s wife that I discovered about this time last year. Her name was not Margaret Valentine, but Patience (last name still unknown).  I know some of you have heard about this through the grapevine, and my sincere apologies for taking so long to get the details out to you.   The commonly held information is that James Horsley Jr. (b. 1731, MD) was married to a Margaret Valentine. Her name came from "Horsley Families of America 1650 to 1986" Vol 1  by Brenda Horsley Scott and Roy Deris Horsley Jr., (1986, Gregath Co, Cullman, AL). That book says, "It is believed that [James Jr.] married Margaret Valentine." (p. 5) However, no source or explanation is given. For the last five or six years I have been researching to find evidence to support the name of James' wife as a "Margaret Valentine," but I could find no evidence for, and much against.   Finally at the Halifax County Court House I found a deed that tells us JAMES HORSLEY's wife was named PATIENCE. In the deed it's spelled phonetically "Peashents," just as their surnames were spelled phonetically "Hosley." (Neither James nor Patience could write.) The Halifax County Grantor Index lists her as Patience. This deed is the only extant primary record I have found in Maryland, Virginia or South Carolina which gives a wife's name for James Horsley Jr. (My transcription of the deed is below.)   In the process of searching, I've also gotten some ideas about how the name "Margaret Valentine" may have come about. First of all, it was James Jr.'s son RICHARD HORSLEY whose wife was named MARGARET. I discovered this, too, in a Halifax County, VA deed of sale, dated 20 Nov 1789. [Halifax Deed Book 16, p. 396] (Again there is a phonetic spelling, "Marget.") If the name came down through oral family history, it is common, through the generations of telling, for names to be attached to the wrong people or wrong family.   The "Valentine" surname may have been presumed from the fact that James Jr. and wife had a son named Valentine. And oddly, there is a Valentine family connected with another James Horsley family in Virginia. This other James Horsley lived in Culpeper County, VA, and served in the Revolution from there. For this service he received Revolutionary War Bounty Land in the part of Virginia that is now Kentucky or Ohio.  He assigned the land to one Edward Valentine, a Captain in the Revolution who lost the use of a hand and suffered other injuries in the war. This James Horsley of Culpeper later moved to Greenup County, KY. [Pension File S30490, Series M805, NARA; Revolutionary War Bounty Warrants Records Images, Library of Virginia]   I think there's a good chance James and Patience Horsley's son Valentine Horsley may have been named for Valentine Carter, a friend of James Horsley Sr., whose families might have been related, but at the least they were associated, perhaps even for one or two prior generations in Maryland. On the other hand, researcher Bill Horsley tells me that the name Valentine was popular around the time Valentine Horsley was born, so it may be only a case of "a cigar is just a cigar," and James and Patience just liked the name.   I always find it especially exciting to discover proof of a female ancestor not previously known, since so many of our foremothers are "missing." So far I have not been able to learn any more about Patience, but hope in time we might. Patience was a good Quaker name, and both James Horsley Sr. and Jr. had connections with a number of Quakers (although at this point it does not seem they were Quakers themselves).  Since Quakers kept good birth records, perhaps we might yet find among Maryland Quakers a daughter Patience born about 1730 who could be the right one for James Horsley Jr's wife.   Best to all, Joan Horsley ([email protected]) - - - - - - - - - - - - - -   JAMES HORSLEY and wife PATIENCE HORSLEY to ELIZHA DODSON Halifax County VA - Dated 26 November 1789 - 138 acres   This indenture made and ended this twenty sixth day of November in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred eighty nine [26 November 1789] between JAMES HORSLEY of Halifax County and state of Virginia of the one part and ELIZHA DODSON [Elisha Dodson] of the aforesaid county and state of other part.
