Teresa, I looked for your Brewer family in several 1850 census.The only families I found matching them(kind of) were in Franklin County Kentucky,however the names were not all in one family,the names were spread out in several differnt families.I thought maybe the family may have split up during this time,but I didn't know any of the ages so I couldn't check on that.I did find an Alfred Brewer on the 1840,1860 Bracken County census,but there was no Alfred Brewer list on any 1850 census as HH in Kentucky. Sorry , I know this isn't much help, Joy ----- Original Message ----- From: Teresa Carter <tacarter@surfsouth.com> To: <KYGRANT-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, July 26, 1999 4:48 PM Subject: Re: [KYGRANT-L] look-ups > Joy, > Thank you much mam' am most grateful!!!!

Sandra - I see your post to Teresa just putting down all the Ashcrafts you can find. If you ever have time and are willing, could you do the same for Clark? Teresa and I are both starting that line and any clues will be helpful. I hope you phone call comes and that it is a fun thing. Judie in Oregon

Hi Teresa and all, I was having that same problem with being kicked off every time the phone rang. My solution was to get voice mail from my local telephone service. It works just like an answering machine. Now when a call comes in while I am on line, the answering machine at their location picks up! I really like it, no more missed phone calls, no more being bothered by people asking for money or selling me stuff! The cost is under $5.00 a month. Take care, Bonnie

Hi Joy, When you get a chance, would you see if you can find a Newton P. Thompson? He would have been between 7-16; hopefully he will be living with his parents. He was in Harrison in 1860 and Pendleton in 1870. He wasn't in Pendleton in 1850. Thanks a lot! Bonnie

Greetings to all, I thought I would post the court appearances of Garret Sipple since everyone seems to have interesting ancestors. I have cited a recent series of books which is available for interlibrary loan from the Library of Virginia in Richmond. I am waiting for volume 7 to be returned so I can see if Garrett's escapades continue. Enjoy... Warren 27 May 1667: Because they came without indentures, four servants to Mrs. Anne Toft had their ages judged by the court: Patrick Easton, 13 years; Owin Murphy, 15 years; Garret Supple, 17 years; and John Murfee, 15 years. The servants themselves acknowledged their ages. They were to serve till attaining the age of 24 years. <1> 16 MAR 1668/9: Certificate granted to Mrs. Ann Toft for 2000 acres for transporting: Robert Katcher, Andrew Stopp, Abraham, Garret Supple, William Davis, Mary Hues, Sisly Birke, Thomas, Isaac Culler, Andrew Hutton, Jno Groves, Edw: Robinson, John Tizard, Hugh Bowin", Tho: Edrington, William Wait, John Wells, Jno Hepworth, Butcher, John Salter, Tho: Williams, Eliza. Cutler, Hanah Leech, Robt Loe, Rich Elks, Alice Roberts, Roger Macan, Jno Fletcher, Edw: Banbury, Humphry Davis, John, Jno Murphey, John Bull, Susan Fletcher, James Price, Joseph Thorne, William Tate, Samuell Ellis, Edw: Boller, Isaac Braily. <2> The voyage from England to Virginia was not taken lightly, but some colonists made the trip repeatedly. Robt. Watson received the rights to 400 acres for transporting himself eight times. He and others like him followed the letter of the law rather than the spirit of the law that granted 50 acres for each person transported in the labor-hungry colony. Curiously, John Custis received land for transporting Indians into the county; no mention was made of their homeland. The frequent voyages may have been unpleasant for the wealthy class but they must have been almost unbearable for incoming servants. The case of Garrot Suple gives a glimpse of conditions on the ship Dove as it sailed toward Virginia; while aboard ship Suple often showed his indenture and offered to sell it for water. <3> 18 Nov 1671: Ambrose White swore that Garret Seple's indenture was only for four years; ordered that the administrators of Col. Scarburgh pay Seple 200 lbs tobacco, this year's taxes, corn, clothes, and court costs. <4> 18 Nov 1671: Deposition of Ambrose White aged 36 years, 18 November 1671: White was certain that when Garrot Suple arrived aboard the ship Dove, he had an indenture for four years signed by John Boyse. "Garrett Suple did often show it and proffer it to sell on board ship for water, by which means [I] came to take notice of it." Signed Ambrose White. <5> On 19 December 1671, judgment was considered before Mr. John Michaell and Mr. John Wise for payment of 4000 lbs tobacco by Andrew Price and Garret Seple to Mr. Ambrose White, due by a bill dated 11 December 1671. <6> 19 Jan 1672: The administrators of Col. Scarburgh sued Garret Seple (whose attorney was Mr. Tankard). Since Scarburgh's administrators failed to file their petition, the suit was dismissed, with them paying court cost. <7> 6 Mar 1672: Deposition of Ambrose White aged about 37 years: To his "certain knowledge" Garret Seple had been given in Dublin, Ireland, an indenture to serve Capt. Pitts for four years after his arrival in Virginia, which was on 23 April 1667. Signed 6 March 1671/72, Ambrose White. Deposition of Vincent Oliver aged about 30 years: Vincent swore that Garret Seple had a 4-year indenture to serve Capt. Pitts; Seple arrived 23 April 1667. Signed 6 March 1671/72, Vincent Oliver. <8> The Tavern The court sessions brought a good deal of business to John Coale's tavern, and his customers, in turn, supplied the court with cases involving disorderly conduct and insolence. Garrett Supple was fined 100 lbs tobacco for rioting, drinking, and behaving insolently in the presence of the court;... <9> Marriage For seventeenth century Virginians, some marriages were a little too late; from a modern perspective, others seemed a little too soon. Bridgett Clare and Henry Belcher got married, but the nuptials occurred too late for them to avoid a charge of fornication. The widow of Thomas Booth married William Walton so soon after Booth's death that the second husband became the administrator of the first husband's estate. Miles Gray, who six years before had disowned his wife Ann for adultery,[4] posted a notice in 1674, stating that he would not pay his wife's debts. When he sold land, he had to oblige himself for 10,000 lbs tobacco to guarantee that the new owner would not be troubled by any claims made by Ann. After previous marital troubles,[5] Mary, the wife of Roger Mikeel, left home, taking several articles with her. Roger warned that anyone bargaining with her would do so at peril of the law. Ignoring this warning, Phil Quinton had just brought his business with Mary "to a head" when she abruptly returned to her husband. Perhaps the "business" was an indenture for a term of service; at any rate, Quinton was angry enough to threaten putting Mikeel in prison as revenge. Thomas Taylor, Quinton's more philosophical companion, had a comment: "That should be a warning for him for meddling betwixt a man and his wife." Certain individuals surfaced and resurfaced as they wove their way through these court records, and the fabric of their personalities took shape. With his transportation to Accomack County paid by Mrs. Ann Toft, Garret Supple was taken by her to the court session that met on 27 May 1667; then he claimed to be 17 years old. The court concurred, stated that he had no indenture, and ordered him to serve his mistress until he reached the age of 24 years [6]. Unable to read or write, Garret may not have understood the proceedings; probably happy just to be alive, he failed to show the court the four-year indenture he carried with him when he arrived in Virginia. The next four years of service gave Garret time enough to realize the value of that document, which by then he had unfortunately lost. In November of 1671, Ambrose White rescued Garret from three more years of service by swearing that "Garrot Suple" had come to Virginia with a four year indenture. White remembered it quite well, he said, for he had traveled on the ship Dove with Supple, who had often shown the indenture and offered "it to sell on board ship for water."[7] Now, with his torturous passage and four years of servitude behind him, Garret was on his own at the age of 21. Two years later he was in trouble for rioting, drinking and insolent behavior; he was also in love with Mary Calvert. Although she had been given land by her father, Mary was now Florence Parker's servant, and as such was not allowed to marry. Unwilling to let this obstacle stand in the way, Garret and Mary managed a clandestine wedding; whoever performed the ceremony must have been unaware of Mary's servant status. Given what we know, it is doubtful that the newlyweds guarded their secret very carefully. At any rate, the news got out, and at the court held in January 1674/75, Garret was ordered to pay Florence Parker 1500 lbs tobacco or become her servant for a year. Mary, too, was ordered to return to the service of her mistress. The next month, when Garret's appeal was rejected by the court, he lost his temper, refused to obey the high sheriff and committed an unspecified "misdemeanor" in open court. He immediately received 39 lashes and was ordered to post a bond for his good behavior. The stripes may have marked his back, but his determination was unscathed. It seems that Garret and his bride found another way. One month later; in March, they sold 200 acres of Mary's land, making their marks on the deed as husband and wife. While the records do not say so, the proceeds must have ensured a future of freedom and love.

Then we caused Sarah the wife of Paul Carter and mother of the said Mary to touch, handle and stroke the child in which time we saw no alteration in the body of the child. Afterwards we called for Paul Carter to touch the child and immediately [while] he was stroking the child the black and settled places about the body of the child grew fresh and red. so that the blood was ready to come through the skin of the child. We also observed the countenance of the said Paul Carter to alter into very much paleness. The child also appearing to us to be very much neglected in several respects as to the preservation of such an infant, and we do conclude if the child had any violence, it was by the throat which was very black and continued so, though other places which were black altered to red and fresh colered."

Browne promised to pay Supple 200 lbs tobacco; it appeared to the court by the depositions of Jno. Bagwell and Xopher. Colvert that Marriner accepted the conditions, so it was ordered that Marriner pay the 200 lbs tobacco and court costs. Deposition of John Bagwell aged about 42 years: At the last February court, Garret Supple and Joseph Browne came and asked if Bagwell would pay Supple in corn, which he would not. Bagwell, however, would pay 200 lbs tobacco. Richard Marriner later came to Bagwell's house and said he recommended that Browne's arrest for the 800 lb debt be delayed. Signed and sworn in open court 16 May 1681, by John Bagwell. Deposition of Christopher Calverd, Sr., aged about 81 years; Garrat Sipel admitted owing Richard Marriner 600 lbs tobacco and asked him if he would accept the 800 lbs that Joseph Browne owed Garrat, saying "If you will not, I will arrest him." Marriner said not to-he would accept it. When Garrat said he thought he would lose 200 lbs, Marriner said not to worry, "I will stop it in my hands." Signed and sworn in open court 18 May 1681, by Chris. (X) Colverd. <29> 18 Aug 1681: Deposition of Mary Seple aged about 25 years: When Mary was in labor about last 7 September, "Margaret Pickering was at [my] labor very well in health to [my] thinking."

Bonnie - I think one of the Sipples in 1840 - 1860 was hanged for murder. At least my Grandmother believed so. We've been talking about it on line...you just missed a message. Nobody on this list gets left out! Thanks for the info on the Grants Pass Paper but I'm gonna try Harrison Co. first. I think it was there or one of you would have heard about it. Night, night. Cousin Judie in Oregon

It came up thank you I don't know what happen.

Oh, brother. I wonder if he is ready for this onslaught! Just ask Bonnie and Sandra what this group can do to a person.

Teresa and all, Too bad the Grant Co. News isn't online. Perhaps this person would like to work after hours on lookups! Cathy Teresa Carter wrote: > Judie, > So you have mayhem in your tree too?

Judie, How fascinating! It just kills me that these ancestors - all on my husband's side and a few on mine - are so tight lipped. I just wanna know the facts. You are so lucky to have the Bible and the stories. I did almost have a heart attack when I read you had a family bible! I will definitely keep an eye open, if I ever get back to a court house around here, for a Sipple murder.

Sara Frances kept a bible of her generation of Clarks. It lists her siblings (including two who died in infancy), the death dates of her parents, their marriage date. All stuff I have already posted to the list. She also had a wonderful tin type picture of Ely with his beard and his long rifle. Lots of pictures of women but I can't identify them - she, of course, didn't mark them. Just like she wrote her mother's name as "Mary E." She didn't have to fill in the rest because she knew. > > My grandmother, Susie Mae Sipple Elder, was their daughter and she had the Bible until I absconded with it. It fascinated me and I repeatedly ask her about her family and the trip to California (she was 8) and what she remembered about Grant County. She would not answer. Tight lipped. Closed mouth. Huffy expression: "You better not. You just don't know what you might find back there." > > Later, one of my Aunts tells me that Grandma told her that there was a murdered in the family back in KY on the Sipple side. Now Mack was born in Harrison Co. His dad, James, was the only one of the crew who settled there. But Mack removed to Grant County and stayed there until he removed again to Tulare Co., CA. So I think the infamous ancestor may have been one of his siblings. If it had happened in Grant Co. one of you cousins would have heard about it. > > I sure wish I had access to the Harrison and Grant County criminal court records. It would be so much fun to know. I just love being descended from Garrett Sipple who committed an unspecified misdemeanor in court and repeated busted for drunk and riotous behavior.

Judie, So you have mayhem in your tree too? I was going to send this privately but thought someone else may be able to use it. We have a couple of "skeletons" banging around in our Turner/Brewer closet, one in particular happened in Grant Co, so I asked for a lookup from the county site and was passed along to a really nice fellow at The Grant County News who looked it up and sent me the clipping. Teresa
