" At the risk of stating facts many may already know, the exodus from Rowan County was widespread and more families went than stayed. It seems to have happened from about 1790 through 1810 when many folks followed Daniel Boone's trail into Tennessee and Kentucky. After 20 years there, more or less, they then moved northward into Indiana, Illinois and Missouri if they hadn't gone west through Oklahoma Territory and Texas. It helps to know and remember that Indiana opened up, about 1798, after the Greenville Treaty was signed. Illinois became a state in 1818 and Missouri followed in 1821. All instances meant cheap public land became readily available and Illinois land could also be had with War of 1812 bounty warrants. My Rowan County families that followed the northward path were in Davidson and Williamson Counties in Tennessee from about 1810 until the last left in the mid-1830s. Their next move was to Clinton and Washington Counties in Illinois beginning 1818. Their trip took them down the Cumberland to the Ohio, west to the Mississippi and up that river to Alton, Illinois. They then followed the Illinois River, to what became Greene County, where they settled on Apple Creek, in the north central part of Greene, in the area of the towns of White Hall, Belltown, Berdan. County formations moved fast. So a family may have lived in three or four counties and never moved from their first home. My folks were in Washington County for the first federal census of Illinois in 1818. Greene County was formed in 1821. Jersey County was not formed until 1839. My first family to leave Greene County was that of Michael Waltrip who was born in 1788 in Halifax Co VA, married Mary Glasscock in Breckinridge Co KY in 1813, followed his father and brothers to Greene Co IL in 1818 and died in 1843 in Hutton Twp., Coles Co IL. The boy covered a lot of ground in his 55 years! One of his brothers stayed in Greene County and another went to Missouri. So, three brothers went in three different directions in two different states. I'm not aware if this Waltrip family was related to any of my Rowan families but a few vague facts seem to indicate it may be so. Other of my NC/TN families that came to Greene County, Illinois, from 1818 through the 1830s, and purchased state land were: [Listing earliest to latest land purchase dates; first year public land became available was 1821.] 1821 -- Thomas Allen, John Allen, Zachariah Allen, William Allen, John Andrews, Francis Bell, 1822 -- James Pinkerton, Andrew Pinkerton, 1823 -- Amos Andrews, Samuel Morrow, 1824 -- William Speaks, 1825 -- Jesse Stark, Samuel Allen, 1826 -- William Morrow, James Davis, William Waltrip, 1827 -- Thomas Allen, 1828 -- William Waltrip, 1829 -- David Pinkerton, 1830 -- Robert W. Bell, Josiah Allen, John M. Lakin, John Pinkerton Jr., William Pinkerton, Luke Waltrip, 1831 -- Luke Waltrip, 1832 -- Jordan Lakin, 1833 -- Thomas Allen Bell, John Stark, 1834 -- John J. Lakin, Cager Stark, 1835 -- James Davis, Allen Morrow Davis, Alexander Lakin, Thomas Lakin, John Brannan, Zachariah Allen Morrow 1836 -- Joseph Orton, James Davis Jr., William Harbour, Bird Waltrip, Lastly, in 1837, Erasmus Wethers Allen purchased 120 acres of state land in Greene County in February. His grandfather, also Erasmus Wethers Allen, had held North Carolina State Grant #1242 in the 1780s. So goes part of my part of the first fifteen years in Greene County. All of these families were related and I've not listed but a fraction of the total. The mortar that held all together was that each and every man had a wife, mother or grandmother who was a BRYAN. While I've found no Bryan family per se that came to Illinois, many of their descendants did. A good example is Joseph Orton, 1836, whose mother was a Bryan and he also married a Bryan girl who was his first cousin. When his wife died in 1835, he sold out in Tennessee and moved with all ten of his adult children to Illinois, probably because his relatives who had gone before encouraged him to do so. He purchased land near Berdan and then claimed an additional 80 acres with a land warrant for his service in the War of 1812 when he fought in the Battle of New Orleans. He is buried at Belltown. These Illinois people returned to Tennessee and Kentucky a time or two and they were back and forth across the Mississippi River as if it were the road in front of their house. While the Boones were in St. Charles County, Missouri, others from Rowan County were in St. Genevieve, St. Francois, Perry and Cape Girardeau, all of the old French counties below and including St. Louis County. Those are other places to look. After one generation in Southern Illinois, many families began to migrate north. Mine went from Washington/Clinton/Greene to Macoupin, Christian, Macon and Sangamon, always creeping northward. From there they migrated to the far northwest corner of Missouri by 1875. All this after a side trip to Texas, 1849-1851 where they lived for a couple of years in Collin County. Check out the "Peters Colony" on the Collin Co TX, US GenWeb website. [I used to just love to tell my kids to "go look it up!"] Many, many folks from Greene County IL were there beginning 1841. There is even a Carrollton, Texas, named after the town in Illinois. I've rambled more than I intended but my message is to look northward in Illinois, in Texas and in the old French counties of Missouri if you're looking for folks who may have moved from Greene County in Illinois in the mid 1800s. They generally did not move singly, they went in bunches wherever they went. If you can find one, you can usually find more. It ain't easy..... Good luck!

I agree with this reply completely. I'm descended from 2 witches that died in Salem, MA, and when in college I did a study about those who were called witches in colonial times. Turns out they were often women who talked back, who didn't conform, or had a fued with a neighbor. It was easy to accuse someone you didn't like, but hard to prove oneself innocent. Even men were dragged into the melee because a neighbor didn't like them or wanted their farm land. So being descended from "witches" might just mean you inherited their stubborn streak. One of my supposed witch ancestors was Giles Corey, who died after having a pile of rocks put on top of him one by one. With each rock they asked if he confessed, and he'd say "more rocks". And quite honestly, none of them actually practiced witchcraft at all. Another theory is that the wheat crops had a type of mold on them due to excess rains and the mold caused hallucinations, much like the "magic mushrooms" of the 1960's drug culture. Fortunately, North Carolina never had much of that nonsense happen, maybe we were more practical minded and more spread out with our larger farms and such, we were too busy.

I'm thinking about setting up a website that would provide links from all of the known individuals of Central and Western NC who were involved with the regulator movement to genealogy research. This is a pretty big project and I have to think about how to organize it though. In the meantime, you may want to get your hands on a book written in the 1800's entitled Pictorial Field Book of the Revolution Benson J Lossing Published by Harper & Brothers, New York, 1850-52 Library of Congress Catalog No. 76-182984 Since it is no longer under copyright, there is a version of this book that can be read online at Google Books.

Twelve regulators had been captured in May of 1771 at Almanace, and all were given an opportuntiy to be set free by signing an oath of allegience to the King of England and renouncing their actions associated with the Regulator movement. Six of these men signed and were set free. The men in the #88 thru #93 spot on this list refused, and were hanged for treason without benefit of trial. #88 - Benjamin Merrill (Merrell), of the Jersey Settlement near Salisbury, Rowan County #89 - James Pugh, lived in Orange or Guilford County Much has been written on these two men. #90 - Messer This is Captain Robert Messer. Messer was scheduled to be hanged a few days prior to the June 19th date, but his hanging was delayed a few days after the intercession of his son Christian Messer. Messer has descendants living in North Carolina today, some near Haywood, NC. #91 - Matter This is Robert Matear. Reportedly, this Robert Matear (Mateer, Mater) had not participated with the North Carolina Regulators in any of the acts for which they were being punished. Supposedly, he hadn't even joined the Regulator movement at all, but rather, was caught up in the whole affair in 1771, as he had been asked to carry a letter from Governor Tryon back to Alexander Martin in Salisbury from New Bern. Matear had been in New Bern because he had transported a load of fruit to market there and since he was returning to Rowan County, he was asked to carry a letter regarding the Regulator "troubles" to Martin. Matear opened the letter and instead of delivering it to Martin, delivered it to a friend in Rowan County who was sympathetic to the Regulators. Word of this action got it, sealing Matear's fate when . . . On May 16, 1791, while Tryon and a militia force that had been mustered upon Tryon's command to go after the Regulators were in Orange County, Matear was detained there along with Robert Thompson. Matear was hanged with the rest, as no trial was ever held for him to plead his case that wasn't even an active member of the Regulators. #92 - Unknown Regulator #93 - Unknown Regulator Does anyone know of any solid work that has been done to attempt to determine the identity of the Six Regulators who signed the oath and were set free or who the identity of the other two who were hanged are?

Hi I don't beleive the art of witch craft is inherited I wonder how much of the aditudes and ways are passed on through generations . Yes indeed my mother and her ancestors on fathers side were and are very different than other relatives My mom is extremely different. Much of it could probably be emiontal illness. But in the family treatment for illness is and has been shuned. My grandfathers parents did not have any thing to do with their family. Reclusive people as was my grandfather in latter years he did not get along with people very well My mom lives a reclusive life in a scarey old home with 12 rooms, several bath rooms two attics and two cellars a half dozen cats No one likes to visit her My grandfather and his parents drank a good deal to much. My mom does not drink My mom only remembers once seeing her grandparents standing on a porch looking down to her. She is not a warm cozy grandma and my grand father was not a warm cozy man My mom lived in same town walking distance from grand parents was not invited in to visit so I don't have any family lore of them My grandfather would not answer my questions about his family. My grandfather owned old Witch Craft books and would cast spells i seen a spell my grandmother find in a jar in the cellar with a peice of her hair and a paper with words on it When he was young he thought he had a healing power he used on his children called it pow wow my mom still beleives he had. She tells a story of him healing her The family often says they are Amercan Indian and that is why they are the way they are but in my research i have not found the Indian lines. I had a second cousin so sure of it he was buried in Indian looking clothes His mom my grandfathers sister My grandmother was sick of the witch craft and took his books and burned them in the 1960's This story I heard several times because the books would not burn They were old books As a child I remember my mom helping a neighbor cast a spell with a rose and a needle As a thing to do my mother and her siblings would sit around the table when I was a kid and play with the concepts of witch craft As kids my siblings and I would play the same games in closed rooms and my mom found us with a candle that catch some thing on fire in bed room We were scared I grew up scared of these things and avoid these things and often won't even talk of it or listen to stories But now my interest is peaked wondering how many generations before my grandfather may of had same ideas and ways My mothers oldest sister is in deep She told me storys of my grandmothers sister. I have tried to find source through genealogy of my mothers familys differences Thinking most of it is emiontal illness. My mom even wrote a few months ago and I never responded that maybe we have Witches in our ancestry. Then when I seen the name Bassett not once but twice of women executions it made me wonder? How much has been passed through family These people live in PA early roots New England Bassetts I only touched the iceburg with my telling of this.

Hello Karon, I have a Henderson Benson married to Betty Wilson in Rowan Co sold their land abt 1827 and Henderson is listed in the 1830 Census in Jersey County, IL. I lost him after that but found a non genealogy descendant who could tell me very little about who travelled with whom or why or where they were for several censuses. He lived in Jerseyville Ill before his death. Did they all leave for new farm land, a religious colony, better weather? Any clues to search him in the Jersey Co area?

Many of us have missing people in our history. Just maybe we will find them on one of these horrible sites of executions. I have ancestors that were and are into spirit medium stuff and witch craft. All on my mothers side of family through her fathers side. I don't pratice it I avoid it My mother and her sisters have always play around with it. Her father and some of his siblings were into it. I have often wondered about the source One of my grandfathers family names is an old New England name. I found a women burned for Witch Craft with the same last name.
