Captain William Rascoe (Rasco) was born sometimes between 1735 and 1755 most likely in Hertford County North Carolina. His marriage bond to Rachel Harrell was dated December 10, 1777 in Bertie County. Rachel was a daughter of Jesse and Fereby Harrell. William was a Captain in a North Carolina Militia from Bertie County during the Revoluntionary War. He and Rachel owned land on Flagg Run Branch in the western part of Bertie County. This land was sold in the fall of 1794 and the Rascoe family migrated to Sumner County Tennessee. During the next five years they were buying and selling property in what is now Sumner, Robertson, Montgomery, Counties in Tennessee. By 1799 they had moved into that part of Christian County that later became Trigg County Kentucky. William Rascoe owned property on both sides of the Kentucky/Tennesse line in what is now Stewart County Tennessee where he died in the Spring of 1806. The children of William and Rachel Rascoe were Fereby Rascoe who apparently died prior to her father. Jesse Rascoe born about 1780 in Bertie County N.C., married Elizabeth (possible Harrison) about 1800 in Tennessee. Freline Rascoe born about 1783, married Jesse Fort in Tennessee. Laban Taylor Rascoe born March 30, 1784 in Bertie County N.C., married Sarah Reese January 17, 1804 in Christian County Ky. Margeret Elizabeth Rascoe born about 1786 in Bertie County N.C., married Rev. Dudley Williams November 14, 1805 in Christian County Ky. John Rascoe born about 1788 in Bertie County N.C., married Lucy Taylor July 20, 1820 in Christian County Ky. William Rascoe born about 1790 in Bertie County N.C., married Delilah Lindsay December 15, 1808 in Christian County Ky. and Mary "Polly" Rascoe born about 1797 in Robertson County Tennessee, married Ascher Davis December 31, 1811 in Christian County Ky. Most of the children resided in that part of Christian County that became Trigg County. Rachel was still listed in the 1820 census of Christian County and was on the tax rolls of 1826-27. It is assumed she died before 1830. Between 1813 and 1820 many of the children moved to such places as Ballard County Ky., Jackson County Illnoise, Limestone County Texas, and Dallas County Alabama. Some descendants of the Rascoe family still remain in the Christian/Trigg area to this day. I will be happy to exchange information with anyone interested in this family or those related my marriage to this family. Would appreciate any additional data anyone may have on these lines.
