Hi everyone, I have some information and am looking for more on the following of my Duplin Co ancestors; 1.Sarah Chestnut Alderman, b jan 19, 1792 d. Jun 23,1879, dau of David Chestnut, m. Samuel Alderman 1812 in Sampson Co, NC. from AIA, do not have more information on the Chestnut family. Sarah and Sam'l moved to Bullock Co, GA in 1813 as did some Chestnuts, do no know the connection. 2.Jemima Hall Alderman m David Alderman Sr RS b 1749 in New Jersey m. 1773 in Duplin Co, d183l in Bullock Co GA. Jemima said to be dau of Thomas Hall (will dated 7-5-1764,) and Rachel Goff said to be dau of John Goff. Any more information on earlier family of the Halls and Goffs? Loftin Quinn m. Mary Cannaday- 1.Have a copy of the will of Loftin and estate settlement date in Carteret Co, also settlement of Mary Cannaday Quinn's estate in Duplin Co in 1793. It contains names of all children living then. Is the father of Mary Cannaday the Richard. s/o of James, s/o of Cornelius and Susanna who divorced in Maryland in 1665? They immigrated with son James from England I think. In the divorce papers Mary is to keep all property brought from VA, if so is anything more known about the couple except that Cornelius had become indentured to a man named Garrett, ran away and remainder indentureship sold to a De LA Moyne? I have a partial copy of that event but no date. It is in the Maryland Archives I think. 2. The first immigrant by the name of Quinn I have found is a David Quinn who came over with Thomas Webb in 1685 who was given a grant of land in Maryland to establish a parish. I believe Webb was a Quaker.In his will Webb mentioned a grandson Enoch Quinn, the name of one of Lofttin's sons. Does anyone know of any descendant of that David Quinn or a connection to Loftin? 3.Also the son of Loftin and Mary Cannaday Quinn, James who was administrator of her estate, married first a daughter of Wm Rigby(e)y Sr but do not know her first name, They had 2 children ,Wm Graham and Nancy, who were mentioned in Wm Rigbey's estate settlement. 4. He then married second a Mary, called only the Widow Mary in his estate settlement in 1802. 5. His estate was reviewed regarding the widow dowry in 1808-10 where she was called Mary Bray. Had she remarried to a man named Bray or was her maiden name Bray? She had died because her children were put under guardianship first to a Dickson than to a Hooks. In the same court session there is mention of an orphan minor named Scott Bray, could he have been a son of a second marriage of Mary? 6. In 1795 John Phillips Sr died and named his son John Jr and an unmarried daughter Mary in his will, witnessed by Wm Rigby Sr and Jr and James Quinn. John Sr's widow was named Dorothy. 7. James Quinn and his widow Mary's first child was born in 1797. ( this was David, my progenitor). The following children were named Catherine, Mary, Dorothy, and Cassandra. 8. In 1805 Wm Graham Quinn was put under the guardianship of John Phillips, Jr. In 1810, after the death of Mary widow of James Quinn, there are 2 underage males and no female in his household--could be Wm Graham and David. Nancy Quinn has married and the younger daughters of James and Mary are put under the guardianship of David Hooks. I have found no relationship of the Hooks with Mary Quinn., although the wife of Hooks was sister to the Dickson, first guardian of the Quinn orphans. 8. Around 1818 Wm G, David, Elizabeth widow of Wm Rigby then married to John Phillips and her children all sold their Duplin Co property to a man named Best( a sister of John Phillips, Jr was married to a Best) and all moved to MS. excepting Wm Graham Quinn who went to GA. Elizabeth was the second or third wife of Wm Rigby Sr.I do not know her surname. 9. David Quinn married Rebecca Rigby, the daughter of Elizabeth Rigby Phillips sometime before 1830. They shared a plantation in MS until the death of John Phillips in 1850. Sisters of David married in NC and SC. I will share all other information I have. Anita Arean parean@tampabay.rr.com
