Thomas K. Marquis "THE FOLLOWING IS A POEM I DISCOVER WHILE GOING THROUGH MY LATE AUNT MARY LOUISE MARQUIS PERSONNAL EFFECTS FOLLOWING HER DEATH IN MARCH OF 1993. THE MARQUIS CLAN Down in old Virginia, that's where I'd like to be roaming thru the hills and valleys to see what I could see, histories have been written of Virginia, you can read them in the books; That's why I'd like to tramp around and see how the country looks. To the wilds of old Virginia came the settlers long ago; stout-hearted men and women as all the records show. Came Major Marquis Calmers, the sturdy Hugenot, the Marquises, Colvilles, Vances, with others cast their lot; came the Smiths, the Whites, the Jones', plain homely names 'tis true, Logens, Hoges, Hites and Griffiths-there was a Morgan too. These hardy pioneers who feared not toil and labor, they built their houses, tilled the soil and welcomed each new neighbor. They built their church, worshiped God and kept their powder dry; For oft was heard the Indian whoop, the stealthy panther's cry. They had not the dainty food the common people now afford, but game corn bread, and hominy was smoking on the board. Thes Virginia pioneers, the best in them they gave; some have head-stones with their names, some rest in unmarked graves. We honor the memory of these fearless pioneers they left a priceless heritage to gladden coming years. On the banks of the Opequean, more than two hundred years ago, was the firs Marquis location; there the clan began to grow. There was a "Marquis Road" and it was soon well worn; there was also a "Marquis Mill" where the families ground their corn. William and his good wife Margaret, came from far across the sea to find a new home in this land of liberty. We have scant record of their lives, their joys, their hopes, their fears; we know not when they passed away; all is lost in the mist of years. But this we do know, they had at least two children; Thomas was the son; daughter Mary wed "Master" Wilson ere she was twenty-one. Her span of life was all too short and there is no review; A rough-hewn stone marks her grave, she died with babe at twenty-two. Thomas married Mary Colville; no doubt a busy wife was she, to them was born four sons and of daughters there were three. thomas in his field one day was busy husking corn; it might have been the afternoon, perhaps the early morn; he may have paused to rest himself beneath the fateful tree, when suddenly there came an awful tragedy. Grim death unseen above his head, lurked in a weakened limb; as if at a signal by the hand of fate, the branch crashed down on him. The widow and the children in this their time of need "ere helped by "Master" Wilson, who was a friend indeed. In the short space of three years, came another hour of gloom; the seven children sore bereft, saw their mother to the tomb. Again came "Master" Wilson with comfort and with cheer; he took the orphan children, kept them together for a year. Wilson was man of substance, so all the records state; a school teacher and a Christain too, he helped also to educate. I wish we knew more about his life, this pious faithful man. An orphan's son was named for him; he stood high among the clan. Of the lives of the seven orphans, few records now remain; they thrived, they grew, each found a mate, each left an honored name. William was the oldest on and soon he caught a maiden's glance; and soon the parson tied the knot, bound to Elizabeth Vance. Nature must have smiled on them, for of children ther were ten. When William's first wife died he sought another mate, and found a widow, Mrs. Edward Hoge, so family records state two children came to them but only on survived. James was the second one in wedded life to take a chance; it seems he sought the same family, for he married Mary Vance. They must have led a frugal life, but certainly did thrive; they had six girls to feed and clothe, besides their brothers five. A Revolutionary soldier, John, he was the next in line, he married Sarah Griffith, and their offspring numbered nine. This John was a very fleet of foot, as swift as any deer; his strong limbs saved his scalp-lock more than once when Indians were near. Thomas was the fourth son, a soldier to was he; he married Miss Jean Park when he was twenty- three. They were blessed with eight children, five daughters and three sons; naught thought they of parents' cares, they welcomed little ones. Thomas became a famous preacher; his praise was often sung, his voice as clear as any bell, they called him "silver-tongue." In the Bellefontaine cemetery a plain broad slab we find. A fitting epitaph would be "He lived to bles mankind." Now just couont up the cousins, they number thirty-nine; three times a "baker's" dozen, some record: I opine. The sisters of these orphan boys in due time changed their names; Each got a mate, had children too, became respected Dames. Sarah chose John Vance for her consort, and my records of close; 'tis written they had a family, how no who knows. Anne married William Park; their years together were but few; she was left a widow with two children, Indians killed Park in 1782. Anne was married later to a man whose name was Isaac Cowen; to them were born five children and nothing more is known. Elizabeth became the wife of Daniel McCauley, if my records are correct, and yea they had nine children, what ese could one expect. Now add sixteen more cousins and we have just forty-five; small wonder there were inter-marriages in this great cousin hive. >From Virginia northward soon the clan began to stray; many went to Pennsylvania, some Ohio way. Cross Creek, Pensylvania, a station on the road, became in time a village and many there abode. Joseph Vance there built a fort, about 1772. Another Vance, some years before, built one in Virginia too. In Cross Creek village graveyard rest many of the clan today; I pray all may know each other when life's mists have cleared away. The descendants of the seven orphans have spread from sea to sea; they are indeed the branches of a nost prolific tree. The Marquis Clan is scatter wide, they're found in every state; and one, the author of these lines will now affix his name and date.

The time is right, the surname is right but I have no connection. Solomon married Fanny Marquis daughter of William Marquis/Marquess or Marquiss in Winchester on May 09, 1798.

Coral, "The first cemetery, located at the northwest corner of Sugar and Moreland streets, can be detected by the sunken sections of sidewalk there. The principal cemetery of the community is the Evans Cemetery located about one mile southeast of the village on County Road 203 on land originally owned by John Evans. The graves of many of the pioneers of southern Washington Township and northern Newton Township, including St. Louisville village, and dating from the 1820's, are in this cemetery" I am sorry but I do not have a list of the graves in the Evans Cemetery.

JDG Checking an old database file I found the following GROVE connection to the GOCHENOUR family. The GOCHENOUR family married into the Stephen RITTER family twice. This GOCHENOUR family was from Hardy County, West Virginia (then VA). They moved to Licking County, Ohio and then later to LaSalle County, Illinois (across the McLean County, Illinois county line).

In the "Frederick County Land Book 1782", I have a photocopy of a page that reads: "John Glover; 100; 4/;20." (The columns are as follows: Proprietors of the Land; Quantity; Taxes; Total Value.). I just happened to have this page copied because it had another entry that was of interest to me. I also have a photocopy of a page from "Winchester Land Book, 1788" listing John Grove, as well as Joseph Holmes. The entries state that John Grove owns one Lot and Joseph Holmes owns two Lots. The yearly rent on John Grove's lot is quite a bit lower in comparison to the Lot rent paid by Joseph Holmes. Perhaps there were more improvements on the Holmes Lots?? I have the entire 1815 tax list for both Frederick and Shenandoah County and I see no entries for any Glovers. I, too, have Grandparents that lived in Hardy County, West Virginia that had married into the Stephen Ritter family. I do know that Stephen, besides being a farmer, property owner, tavern inn owner, owned a stageline. I have found evidence that they returned to Frederick County, VA for at least a visit. While keeping their holdings in Licking County, Ohio, they moved to McLean County, Illinois returning to St. Lousiville, Licking County, Ohio where they are buried in the Evans Cemetery. I do not know how or why they moved West with their whole family; but I suspect they took family and friends that we do not know have a connection with them. I hope this helps----------it seems our early ancestors really got around!

In case this is of interest, here is some more Holmes trivia: A few of my Baker family bought land that was originally part of a very large tract of land in Hampshire Co. called the Holmes survey. The deeds are from the devisees of Mrs. Elizabeth Holmes of Winchester, who in turn inherited the land from her husband, Hugh Holmes, also of Winchester. Both their wills were recorded in Frederick Co., VA. These are Elizabeth's heirs as named as grantors on the deeds (1843 and 1845): 26 Dec. 1843, to John Y. Baker, from: David Holmes Conrad and his wife, Nancy Addison of Berkeley Co., VA; Robert Young Conrad and wife Elizabeth Whiting, of Frederick Co., VA; David Holmes McGuire and wife Eliza Gwynn Page, of Clarke Co., VA 24 July 1845, to Jesse Baker, from: David H. Conrad and wife Nancy (acknowledged in Berkeley Co.); David H. McGuire and wife Eliza G. (acknowledged in Clarke Co.) Robert Y. Conrad and wife Elizabeth (acknowledged in Frederick Co.) We see that not all deeds are created equal! Only the first one gave the wives' full names....

Coral, Frederick County Land Book of 1782 lists a Joseph Holmes The Independent City of Winchester 1815 lists a Hugh Holmes; as well as owning property within the County of Frederick 17 miles southwest of Winchester and 3 miles southwest, 24 miles west, 4 miles west, and also listed just southwest. It states Hugh Holmes was of Winchester. There is also a William Holmes listed owning property 12 East of Winchester. This William Holmes was living in Baltimore at the time of this 1815 tax report. (This could be your address around Nain.) "Frederick Co., VA Wills & Administrations 1795-1816" lists the following Holmes: Andrew Hunter, David Eliza, Elizabeth, Erlinda, Gertrude, Hugh, Joseph, Joseph Jr., Judge, Nancy, Rebecca.

I am hoping to find someone who will look up a will or appraisal of an estate for me in Frederick Co.
