Can Van Meter be the same as Van Matre or similar spelling? All the messages on the Mercer Co. KY list seem to revolve around arguments about such a family--as if this were the only family in Mercer Co.!!!! Those who are looking for Pennsylvania roots--Scotch Irish [not my term--that of authors] or otherwise--might do well to review the three volumes of Lyman Chalkley's volumes on some of the early records [not all of them, I am told] of old Augusta Co., Virginia--which encompassed all of what is now West Virginia and a good many other counties in and around the Shenandoah Valley. There is a Jacob Van Matre listed in Vol. 1. I did not look beyond that. There are three volumes of Chalkley's works called The Scotch-Irish Settlements in Virginia [or similar title] online at this URL _www.rootsweb.com/~chalkley/_ (http://www.rootsweb.com/~chalkley/) There are three volumes, so search the indexes of ALL three volumes. Each volume on rootsweb is indexed. The link to the index found at the bottom of the screen for each volume. You will note, of course, many Scotch-Irish names but there are a few Germanic names also--and perhaps some plain Englishmen!! These are taken from some early Augusta Co., VA court records. One of the ladies listed in Chalkely is my ancestress, Agnes McCord, the second wife of a migrant to Madison Co., KY--Christopher Harris, formerly of Albemarle Co., VA, and perhaps before that, of Louisa Co., VA. (Scottish ladies tend to keep their maiden names, even after marriage, as reading some tombstones in Scotland educated me.) A good many of these Pennsylvania folks ended up in western North Carolina, particularly early Rowan Co., where the land was relatively cheap, and the religion was whatever persons wanted to practice. The early records of Rowan Co., NC, for example, will reflect some of these same surnames found in Augusta Co. Our people were on the move, but even more so after the American Revolution--in spite of our Native American brothers. Some of the travails of these pioneers make your hair curl!! Is there interest in other surnames in Mercer Co., KY? E.W.Wallace **************Start the year off right.

Espirity76; in my opinion you got a BS answer. Our library computers cut off because of line overload.

Thank you E.W. for the information on the Dorris book on HeritageQuest. (Thank goodness for HeritageQuest!) For those who might be interested, Jonathan Dorris published another, much more extensive book, in 1955 with a similar title, "Glimpses of Historic Madison County, Kentucky". This 1955 book has well over 300 pages. Though this later book is not available on HeritageQuest, it is available through Interlibrary Loan and at the Family History Library (976.953 H2d). Lesa!

Just a note on Heritage Quest... I was able to use it for a while, but then I began having difficulty accessing the program.. and eventually not at all. I called my library and was told that sometimes a home computer will not recognize the program and consider it to be spam.. that I'd have to "turn off" my spam filter when using it... ??? So can anyone answer to that.. I finally gave up and subscribed to another program. Thanks, Ellie S.

Looking for help in the following connection of Berry, Owens, Crews. Thomas J. Berry married Malone Owens on 24 Feb 1835 in Madison Co., KY. Mother of the bride is listed as Bartha Crews. In a land deed her name is spelled Barthena Crews. Thomas J. Berry and Malone had one known child Thomas J. Berry born 26 June 1836 in Madison Co., KY. Their son married Mary Adaline Simmons 11 August 1857. Can anyone help with whether Malone Ownes was married before therefore the last name Owens or was her mother Barthena Crews married before to an Owens? A John Owens is listed in later deeds of Thomas J. Berry Jr. and Mary A. as heirs of John Owens. Also one of Thomas J. Berry Jr. and Mary A. land deeds lists Thomas J. Berry Jr. as the grandson of Barthena Crews. He is living with his grandmother in the 1850 Federal Census in Madison Co., KY. Thanks for any help that you can provide in unscrambling the Berry, Owens and Crews connections. Laura

Here are some notes I have gathered over the years from various sources. Most of the emphasis in the research has been on men named George Oldham who may have been active as adults about the time of the American Revolution [April 1775-Nov 1873]. There were other George Oldhams probably of Northern Neck Virginia in earlier times, but these notes do not pertain to those of that era. Note: I think I will have to divide this into several e-mails, as rootsweb does not permit longish e-mails. I invite corrections and additions concerning these particular George Oldhams, especially the one in colonial and Revolutionary North Carolina and perhaps later in Kentucky, where many Oldhams of Caswell Co. migrated to Madison Co., KY and perhaps to Clark Co., KY. These are not in chronological order. Submitted by E.W.Wallace Preparer: E. W. Wallace Rev Jan 1998 Rev Aug 2002 Added to Dec 2005 GEORGE OLDHAM. WIR00807. George Oldham, the probable namesake of an earlier George Oldham of Northumberland Co., VA, is said to be a son of Richard Oldham, Sr. of Caswell Co., NC and thus a brother of Jesse Oldham [Sr.], later of Madison Co., KY. This is according to a correspondent. John Oldham of Caswell Co. NC was another brother >From a compilation of Revolutionary Accounts of North Carolina: "The United States of America to the State of North Carolina Dr: For Sundries furnished and Cash paid the Militia of North Carolina Virginia and South Carolina as allowed by the Auditors of Hillsborough District in June 1782 as p:Report No. 82" 2022x To Capt: George Oldham for Militia Services of himself and Compy. as :Pay Roll No. 322 @ +400 - Specie 795.16 [pds] (Weynette Parks Haun., North Carolina Revolutionary Army Accounts, Accounts of the United States with North Carolina [Treasurer, State], Book C [Part XIV], p. 1905) George may be the same person who resided in Caswell Co. for many years. As late as 29 Jan 1816, he was a purchaser at the estate sale of Elizabeth Williams, deceased. (WB G-180). Elizabeth (--) Williams was the widow of Henry Williams, long a resident of Caswell Co., NC, formed 1777.. One of their several daughters Ursley Duke Williams (widow of Reuben Peoples) married George's nephew Richard "Ready Money" Oldham of Caswell Co., later of Madison Co., KY. George Oldham of NC line received a pension No. S21906. According to abstract, he enlisted in Caswell Co., NC. He applied 4 Mar 1833, Anderson District SC. He was aged about 83 and soldier died there (date not given). In 1852 surviving children were Thomas & William Oldham and Mary wife of Nelson Guttry, all of Anderson Dist SC. The son Thos. Oldham made affidavit in Feb 1857. (Adapted from Virgil S. White, GENEALOGICAL ABSTRACTS OF REVOLUTIONARY WAR PENSION FILES, VOL. III: N-Z [Waynesboro, TN: The National Historical Publishing Co., 1992], p. 2534) He, George Oldham "(Major)" appears on the 1784 tax list of Caswell Co. as owning land on Stoney Creek where several other Oldhams also owned land. This would tend to confirm a strong relationship to the other Oldhams on Stoney Creek. Because he was on the 1777 tax list of Caswell Co., with no land declared, it is inferred he was at least 16 years of age--i.e., militia age. However, another record shows that in 1777 he was appointed lieutenant, At the Caswell Co. court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions, June 1777, George Oldham was appointed lieutenant. This event signifies he was a man of some maturity, enough to lead men in military pursuits. Perhaps he was exempt from paying taxes because of this leadership role. In 1779 he received a land grant from the State of North Carolina. Caswell DB A-247 - State of North Carolina - No. 73 - to George Oldham 639 A on Stoney Cr and Turkey Pen Br of Country Line Cr adj Roger Atkinson's old line, claims of George Sims & David Hart. 3 Mar 1779. [Chain Carriers] George Sims, Richd Oldham. (Katherine Kerr Kendall, CASWELL COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA DEED BOOKS 1777-1817 [Easley, SC: Southern Historical Press, 1989], p. 15) Several Oldham males who migrated to the vicinity of Caswell Co., formed 1777 from Orange Co. NC, made land entries on or after 25 May 1778, after the colonies had declared their independence. A grant of State of NC - No. 73 was to George Oldham for 639 A on Stoney Cr. Richard Oldham was a chain carrier. A deed No. 81 (grant by State of NC) to Maxfield Hensley acreage on Stoney Creek adj Henry Williams, Thomas Hart's old line, an agreement line between Hensley & Moses Oldham. It is dated March 1779. (Margaret M. Hofmann, ....) In order to be granted land by the State of North Carolina, the claimants had to take an oath of allegiance to the newly formed nation or State. These Oldhams and their grant numbers were: George (No. 201); Richard, Jr. (No. 217); Jesse Oldham (No. 228 and No. 229); Moses Oldham (No. 231). Allied families who recorded land grants on the same date were Henry Williams (No. 39, No. 317); Nathan Williamson (No 100); Tyree Harris (No. 108); Matthew Jouett (No. 208); several Rice families; Charles and Robert Burton; John Williams. (Note: 12/96 The identity of John Williams is confusing. Other students of Caswell Co. state that this John Williams is "Col." John Williams, son of Nathaniel Williams I, formerly of Hanover Co. The brother of Henry Williams, who called himself John S.D. [son of Daniel] seemed to have remained some time in Granville Co., NC from which he later migrated to District 96, SC.) (Comments: These two events, George's being appointed lieutenant and receiving a land grant during the Revolution, qualifies his direct descendants for Revolutionary War lineage societies. He took an oath of allegiance in order to be granted land.) The name of George Oldham appears in Caswell Co. in a list of buyers at an estate sale of Lewis Foster decd taken 8 Feb 1816. (Will Bk G-240). However, whether George Oldham (Major) remained in Caswell Co. is unknown. There are no direct land conveyances to or from George Oldham after this abstracted deed entry: Caswell Co.

Wit: Geo Sims, Abner Powell, Cudboth King, Dudley Ballard. (Kendall, p. 105) Question: Did George Oldham remain in Caswell Co.?

He wrote: Peter O'Neal referenced in the deed that George Oldham witnessed in 1799 in Montgomery Co, TN was a Peter C O'Neal from Orange Co, NC. A sutdent of the Oldham family of Caswell Co., NC reports that his wife is Susannah Hensley, daughter of Maxfield Hensley of Caswell Co., NC. Note that Hensley is a neighbor in one of the deeds. (Refer to the 1759 will of Daniel Williams of Granville Co. in which he mentions land which he bought from Henslee. Is there any linkage?) [To be continued] **************Start the year off right.

This is continued from a previous e-mail, which would have been too long to have been accommodated by rootsweb. If you have additions or corrections, please send them to me. It appears we have several George Oldhams who were active in the American Revolution. The one I am interested in seems to have died in South Carolina. This man is not my ancestor, but all indications he is a brother, albeit seemingly younger, than my ancestor Jesse or Jessie Oldham of Caswell Co. NC and later of Madison Co., KY. In most cases, I have tried to cite the sources of my information. If you use this material in your own genealogical collections, please add the source of the information. Those who come after you will ask, Where did he/she get this information? If you have the citation for the work by Margaret M. Hofmann, who has abstracted MANY early North Carolina land grant records, please e-mail me. Submitted by E.W.Wallace Continuation of a Previous E-mail concerning a George Oldham or several George Oldhams of Revolutionary US A George Oldham of Early Kentucky A George Oldham received a land grant from Kentucky (then Virginia) 8 July 1780, 500 acres on Licking Creek in Fincastle & Kentucky Co. (DB A-161) (Michael L. Cook and Bettie A. Cummings Cook, Fincastle & Kentucky County VA-KY Records & History, Vol 1 (Evansville, IN: Cook Publications, n.d.)). A George Oldham was probably in Kentucky, 1794. He and Jesse Oldham are both listed as privates in Ford's Co, John'son Detch Mtd Mil, Terr south of the Ohio, 1794. Of course, Kentucky is south of the Ohio. (Source: Virgil D. White, trans., INDEX TO VOLUNTEER SOLDIERS 1784-1811, [Waynesboro, TN: National Hist Publ Co, 1987, 973 M22 WO2]) A George Oldham who was married in Madison Co., KY to Sarah Todd 20 Sep 1797; Caleb Todd, bm., Margaret Todd, mother of bride. However, this George probably is of a different generation and of a different Oldham family than that of Jesse Oldham. A Different George Oldham--Jefferson Co., KY A George Oldham had a land entry in Jefferson Co., KY (then Virginia). He is associated, most probably, with the Oldhams of that county: Samuel, Conway, William (qv). + Jefferson Land Entry: Licking Cr. - Oldham, George - 7/8/1780 500 A. page A-161 (Michael and Betty Cook, JEFFERSON LAND ENTRIES, FINCASTLE COUNTY [KY]) Oldham KY entries - first names only given below p. 97 Location Name Date AC pg Licking Cr George 7/08/1780 500 A-161 It is more likely that Captain George Oldham remained in Caswell Co., NC as indicated from Will Book cited previously. But his pension record indicates he died in South Carolina. George Oldham of Caswell Co. should not be confused with a male by the same name who probably was a son of Moses Oldham of Montgomery Co., TN. Refer to Caswell DB Q-95-96, power of attorney of Moses Oldham to "trusty friend" Solomon Debow of Caswell Co., which P/A is cited in biography of Moses Oldham of TN. ............ Orange Co. NC? Two Oldhams, George and John, were witnesses to the 1818 will of John (x) Walker, Orange Co., NC, and one was an executor: [Will Bk] D-523 Will dated 17 Feb 1818, proved May Court 1818 JOHN (X) WALKER WIFE: JUDY daus: Nelly Walker, Polly Ryals, Rebeckah Walker, Betsy Walker, Letty Walker son: Benjamin Walker (under age) daus: Emily Walker, Lucy Walker (both under age) Executors: "Friends Herbert Collier & William Oldham & Judy Walker" Witnesses: George Oldham, John (x) Oldham (Ruth Herndon Shields, ABSTRACTS OF WILL RECORDS IN ORANGE COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA 1800-1850) George Oldham of Montgomery Co. and of Williamson Cos, Tennessee Montgomery Co., TN DB B-382 Deed from George Oldham to Samuel Allen Indenture made this 24th day of January 1801, between George Oldham of Montgomery county and Samuel Allen of the same county, for and in consideration of the sum of six hundred dollars to him in hand paid, for a tract of land lying on the north side of the Red River, beginning on the bank of the River near the old ferry, and containing one hundred acres. Attest: M. Phillips George Oldham James Paton (Laura Willis, MONTGOMERY COUNTY, TENN. DEEDS VOL. TWO, 1797-1804 [Melber, KY: Simmons Historical Publications, 1996], p. 20) A subsequent Montgomery Co. deed of other parties but witnessed by George Oldham indicates a linkage of the other parties to Caswell Co. and perhaps this linkage pertains to George Oldham also, but this is not stated. DB B-388 Deed from William Holderness to Peter ONeal Indenture made this 20th day of November 1799, between William Holderness of Caswell county, North Carolina, and Peter Oneal of Montgomery county, for and in consideration of the sum of one hundred pounds, for a tract of land beginning at Patterson's corner, and containing three hundred and seventy-six acres. Attest: George Oldham William Holderness (Ibid, p. 22) A later deed of George Oldham states he is of Williamson Co. DB B-608 Deed from George Oldham to Richrd Powel Indenture made this 7th day of February 1804, between George Oldham of Williamson county, and Richard Powel of Montgomery county, for and in consideration of the sum of two hundred dollars to him in hand paid, for a tract of land lying on the Red River, and containing forty-nine acres, being part of a tract granted to William Holderness. Attest: Robert Nelson George Oldham Joel Oldham (Ibid, p. 96) Question: Who is Joel Oldham? ........ + Another George Oldham also applied for a Rev War pension, but he filed in Henrico Co., VA court 29 Jul 1840, and apparently his widow filed for a pension in Hancock Co., TN 21 Apr 1857. This George Oldham's application number is No. 1249 [source of number is unknown; it may not be the pension no.] He died 1789/90, and his widow Jane was living in Hancock Co., TN in 1857. (Margie G.
