Linda Reno, I'm open to thoughts anyone might have on this below. Or if you can add to this. Clemency JUPIN (daughter of John Jupin and Eleanor ?) married Elijah Wright she was a sister to Elizabeth JUPIN who married Charles MEDCALF. Sophia Jupin her sister married Charles Donahue, whose brother was Daniel Donahue who married Ann "Nancy" Cambron Daniel and Charles Donahue have a sister Martha "Patsy" Donahue who married Osborn BLAND who I believe was the son of Osborn Bland and Leatice ? Samuel McADAMS married Sarah HAGAN daughter of James HAGAN and Monica JOHNSON Samuel McADAMS and Sarah Hagan's son Alexander McADAMS married Catherine JUPIN sister of Elizabeth JUPIN (MEDCALF) Their daughter Mary McADAMS married Micheal SUMMERS. Their son David McADAMS married Rebecca HINTON Another sister Eleanor JUPIN married John RITCHIE whose daughter Jemima Ritchie married Lewis LEMASTER son of Hugh Lemaster and Mary JUPIN also a sister of Eleanor JUPIN(RITCHIE) Jacob KING married Ann ABELL daughter of Charles ABELL and Elizabeth CRAWFORD Ann Abell (KING) sister was Elizabeth ABELL who married Ignatuis BROWN son of Nicholas BROWN and Appolonia THOMPSON, she married 2nd to William NEWTON son of Thomas NEWTON and Susanna HOWARD What I'm noticing here is that it appears to me that John Kenelm Medcalf who married Winifred PAYNE could very well be the brother of Charles Medcalf who married Elizabeth Jupin Their ages are 10 years apart. I realize that is not how most people have it, but I think my placement might be closer to the truth. Open to discussion on this. Most People are trying to Claim Charles Medcalf was a son of William Medcalf and Susanna Smith, that's not possible, so others have placed him under William Medcalf Jr. and Susanna ? but once again I don't think that is correct either. The Association in Kentucky is mind boggling between John Kenelm Medcalf and Charles Medcalf. If I knew children of Elijah WRIGHT and Clemency JUPIN I could show more connections to the John Medcalf who married Treacy DICKSON who I still feel belongs under John Kenelm MEDCALF. John Jupin and Eleanor____ had 4 sons & 8 daughters. John died in 1816 and left a will in Nelson Co., naming all of his 12 children. Freeborn Jupin, Mary Jupin LeMaster, Sarah Jupin Dismore, Clementine Jupin Wright, Elizabeth Jupin Medcalf, John Jupin, James Jupin, Sophia Jupin Donahew, Catherine Jupin McAdams, Kesiah Jupin Ritchie, Lewis Jupin & Eleanor Jupin. John Kenelm Medcalf was alive in 1815 Nelson Co.

Knellem Medcalf on road from McAdams to Springfield. Papers from the Lawsuit Contesting John Jupin's Will Charles and Elizabeth Medcalf brought suit in the Chancery Division of Nelson Circuit Court contesting John Jupin's will. This we already knew; however, I don't think anyone has had access to the case papers before. Though partially damaged in a courthouse fire, the case papers filed with the bill are still preserved in Nelson County. These papers are stored in the metal drawers in which they appear to have been filed originally; and though their edges were severely burned during the fire, making complete quotations impossible, the greater portions survived fire. The files are evidently off-limits; but I found this out only after I had begun copying, so the attendant allowed me to finish what I could before she was scheduled to leave. There was a large number of filled out summonses on printed forms, which because time was limited and because they didn't appear to contain much meaningful information, I did not copy. I did attempt copy all of the primary documents containing facts of the case. Their content allows the following account, providing John Jupin's birth and death dates as accurately as was known at the time, giving proof that Sarah Jupin was the mother of Henry Dismore's children, and portraying the discord that arose among the heirs because of the terms of the will: The statement of Charles Medcalf and Elizabeth his wife, filed 10 February 1816, alleges that John Jupin was of unsound mind and memory at the time the will was written. An order dated 25 March (sic, February) was issued summoning the following persons to appear on the 18th day of the March Term to answer the Bill exhibited by Charles and Elizabeth Medcalf against them: Freeborn Jupin James Jupin Lewis Jupin Elijah Wright and Clemency his wife formerly Jupin Hugh Lamaster and Mary his wife formerly Jupin Alexander McAdams and Catharine his wife formerly Jupin Charles Dunnahugh and Sophia His wife formerly Jupin John Richey and Ellender his wife formerly Jupin Henry Dismore, John Dismore, Nathaniel Dismore, James Dismore, Ellender Dismore, Oily Dismore and Sarah Dismore, children of Sarah Dismore dec.d formerly Jupin and Nelly Richey, John Richey, William Richey, Lewis Richey, Cornelius Richey and Mary Richey children of Kizea Richey dec.d formerly Kizey Jupin and Elizabeth Jupin, Martha (sic, Mathew) Jupin, William Jupin, Rebecca Jupin, Elisha Jupin and John Jupin, infant children of John Jupin Sen, dec.d. I photocopied one copy of this order and what appears to be the top half of a duplicate. The first one was signed on the back by Elijah and Clemency Wright acknowledging service. The allegation of Charles and Elizabeth Medcalf was reaffirmed by the joint and separate answer filed 18 March 1816 in the name of the following children and grandchildren: James Jupin Catharine McAdams & Alexr McAdams her husband late Catharine Jupin Sophia and Charles Donohue her husband late Sophia Jupin Freeborn Jupin Eiiender & John Richey her husband late Ellender Jupin Elijah Wright and Clemency his wife late Jupin Charies Lemaster & Mary his wife late Jupin Their answer states in part: They have heard & believe that at the time of his decease John Jupin was wholly incapable of making a Last Will and Testament. They know that his mind had been in a state of disorder for some time before his decease His deranged state of mind increased with his increasing debility of body and the progress of the disease that terminated his life. They have been moreover informed and believe that at the time the alleged will should have been executed the said John Jupin was not only entirely deranged in mind and thereby entirely incapable to make his last will and testament, but on that account he was also so enfeebled by disease as to be unable to sign his name to the said alleged will or signify by utterance or intelligible sign his approbation thereof. They have reason to believe that Lewis Jupin caused the alleged will to be written as it is; and that thereby he is in fraud of his brothers and sisters. This answer was signed and sworn to on 18 March 1816 by Charles and Sophia Donohue, Alexander and Catharine McAdams, John and Eleanor Ritchie & John Ritchie. Freeborn Jupin swore to the answer on 20 March 1816, James Jupin on 25 March and Elijah Wright, Clemency Wright, Hugh Lemaster and Mary Lemaster on 1 April. On the 19th day of March 1817 James Jupin filed a release to Lewis Jupin of all claim to his father's estate. Lewis Jupin's answer, filed 17 June 1816, in addition to denying the foregoing allegations, further relates, in part: His father was born in the year 1740 and was about 75 years of age at his death. His brothers and sisters had left their father early in life. He continued to live with his father, whereas his brothers and sisters stood aloof acquiring wealth by their own labor. His father gave to each of his children as they left him or married considerable property or money by way of their portion of his estate, to what amount he could not say. His father departed this life about the 12th of January 1816 possessed of considerable estate both real and personal. He acknowledges that his father was deranged "reasonably," but it was but a temporary derangement produced by the use of spirits and wine. His father, in his last illness, anxious to display the feelings of a just father, after having previously given to the children who had left him a portion of his estate, by so disposing of his estate would in some design remunerate Lewis for the services from a boy to the age of 30 years. Upon the reverse of the affidavit of attorneys Wicliff & Hardin attesting that John Jupin was of sound mind and disposing memory at the time of the execution of his will appears the notation: "We the Jury find for the Defendant" Thus Lewis Jupin was exonerated of any fraud or wrongdoing, and John Jupin's estate was distributed according o the provisions of his will.
