I have (admittedly from internet sources so would like your input) Col. James Patton as son of Henry & Sarah Lynn Patton. Sarah was the sister of Wm Lynn (married Margaret Patton either 1st or 2cd cousin to Henry Patton) whose daughter Margaret m John Lewis. Other children of Henry & Sarah Patton: Robert b 1685 Donegal, Ireland d 1755 Sudsbury, Chester Co. PA wife: Margaret Woods b. 1710 daughter of Adam & Sarah Woods. Adam was the brother of Michael Woods. Thomas b 1686 d 1774 Montgomery Co, VA, John b 1689 d 1757 Pendleton Co. m 1.Sarah Rogers 2.Agness Snodgrass and Elizabeth b 1700 m John Preston 1724. I'm interested in the Osborne connection. There are Osbornes in Greenbrier Co. who intermarry with Kincaids around 1800. Do you know if they are related?

I'm hoping to exchange information with anyone researching the Markley's of Staunton. We connect through Joseph and Annie (Oliver) MARKLEY. Looking for additional information on Joseph's parents, J. F. and Sidney (unk) MARKLEY. What do the initials J. F. stand for and what was Sidney's maiden name? Nancy Pascal [email protected]

Thanks. I will do a bit opf searching and get back to you about them. Have ten days ahead of me totally committed so cannot indulge myuself with genealogy until after that. Was at Tinkling Springs yesterday. Missed the preacher, Mr. Whitener, but he called last night and is intersting. Loves history, so we set a tentative time to meet and pursue joint interests. I woulde like to provide him your information also. My immigrant ancestor bought his first land from William thompson. I believe there are additional sourceds aobut feudign between Patton and Criag, and will tgry to find them. Your explanation certianly makes sense. Daley

Daley, I enjoyed the information about the conflict between Col. James Patton and the Rev. Craig. I had not found that information or heard that before. I am always eager to learn more about my ancestor James Patton. I have my opinion also as to what could have happened if there was a conflict you may find interesting. As you know and mentioned the Lewis family was kin to Patton. Pattons wife Mary was a Osborne and she had sister Margaret who married the Rev. John Thompson who wanted to pastor the Tinkling Springs Meeting House. Rev. John Thompson was turned down from Donegal, Ireland and had to go elsewhere. William Thompson Sr, who I believe is brother to Rev. John Thompson gave the land for the Tinkling Springs Church to be built. This William Thompson had a son William Thompson Jr, who married Mary Patton the daughter of Col. James Patton and Mary Osborne. Wm and Mary Thompson is my line. So you can see there was kinship and pull as to who they wanted for their pastor. So we have the Pattons, Prestons, Buchanans, Lewises and Breckenridges attending and worshiping there at Tinkling Springs Presbyterian Church. William Preston was Patton's nephew. On page 31 and page 11 of Lillian Kennerly Craigs book what source did she give on the conflict? Also I have not found any documentation that Benjamin Borden or Michael Woods were related to Patton, do you know where that information came from. I know there were some researchers who had thought that Mary Osborne was Mary Borden, but more evidence and good sources suggest otherwise. I will be looking forward to your reply and giving me the direction where to go for the Borden and Woods data. My James Kelly could be connected to the Woods you speak of. James was from Greenbrier Co, Va. He married Nancy Caperton. I have two Thompson lines, one Polly Thompson married John Caperton and also lived in the Augusta County area. She could have been kin to Alexander Thompson, this Thompson family is not as well documented as the other I spoke about. Thank you again for the interesting data about Patton and Rev John Craig.

Due to a problem that I seem to be having with my mailing lists, I have been asked by rootsweb to check the email address that I receive when a copy is sent to my box. This is only a test. Thanks, Anita

Do the Mullins family of KY and TN tie into the early McMullen VA families? I am curious because I know that some of the names have many variations over the years. Thank you, Jeri KY

Thanks for the info. I was beginning to think that I had slipped a generation. Do you know who the Ann Kincaid will Sept. 1, 1831 Franklin Co. MO might fit in? Could she be the sister to James whose dau. Ann m Robert Kincaid. We believe she was an Elliott as she had a granddaughter Ann Eliot Armstrong. She was born 1750-60. Married Wm Kincaid who died in 1794. They lived on the Jackson River where she remained until about 1815 when she moved to MO. Their children were: Archibald Kincaid in MO 1730 James Kincaid, lived in MO deceased by 1833 Andrew Kincaid m Ann Kincaid (dau. of Samuel & Margaret Clark Kincaid) lived and died on the Jackson River William Kincaid Jane m James Armstrong 1797 on the Jackson River subsequently moved to MO Mary m John McCallister 1800 on the Jackson River. In 1833 part of her children were in Allegany Sue in Newport > Well, let me see now.

Larry, I have Jane Campbell as the daughter of John Campbell and Elizabeth Walker Campbell. She married Alexander McPheeters. I have their children but no dates. Peggy

This is the info I have in my data base: Alexander McPheeters, born in Ireland, died 1761 in Augusta County, VA. His wife may have been Martha. His son was Alexander McPheeters, Jr. birth unknown, but died 10/1/1798 in Augusta County. Alex was married to Jane Campbell. Two of their children were Robert and Rebecca McPheeters. Rebecca married Robert Culton, son of Robert Culton, March 31, 1796, in Augusta County. She died 1/16/1825 in Rockbridge County. I have names of four of their children and some additional information on them. Larry

The book does mention an Elizabeth Walker, but I don't think it is the same one. It says, Mary Weir married William Walker. They lived in Rockbridge County and had eight children, including Elizabeth, who in February 1788 married a Thomas Berry. Another Elizabeth Walker was mentioned as the wife of John Wallace and mother of Erasmus Darwin Wallace. Larry

Sorry, I meant to say James PATTON. Velma

Daley, Thanks very much for your answer and for the website. I had read a little about James BUCHANAN, but not that much. Thanks again. Velma

Joyce, Your husband wouldn't also be related to the FINLEYS, would he? Velma

Thank you for all your help. My husband was a descendant of the Colwells and the Robertson/Roberson/Robeson/Robinsons. I am looking forward to your guide as it's a long way from California and I wouldn't want to miss anything! Joyce Roberson

I suspect my BRYANT-BRYANS-BRIAN ancestors were in Augusta Co early, because they were in Botetourt Co in 1790. But I can't prove it! James T. BRYANS was b. 1790 VA, m.

You asked for more information about the conflict between James Patton and Rev. John Craig that soured Craig's affiliation with the Tinkling Springs Church. All hearsay, of course, but here is some of it. First, refer to http://lady3248.tripod.com/jamespatton1692.htm for more information about James Patton. Lillian Kennerly Craig, descendent of Rev. John Craig, in her book REVEREND JOHN CRAIG 1709-1774 His Descendants and Allied Families gives several references to the conflicts. Page 31 "The direct cause for the trouble appears to have been the enmity between John Lewis and James Patton who were business partners (my ancestral farm "on the Calf Pasture" was first sold them jointly on July 16, 1745. See Orange County records) as well as church brothers. Each was determined to control the preacher and use him for his own ends. But John Craig was not a man to be controlled by anyone. So these men seem to have taken turns trying to get rid of John Craig with the idea of getting a pastor who would be easier to manage." Page 11 refers to John Craig's arrival in the Valley. "This john Lewis was the most important man around, but the men who had come to beg him to accept the call had told of a new man who had moved in -- a Colonel James Patton, who felt his importance and was trying to boss Lewis. But Lewis refused to be pushed around and the two men didn't like each other. That was bad. It could mean trouble for the minister" Page 12 "The other important event in his work that year was that his congregation divided into two church bodies, as they had planned, even before he was called, to do so as soon as possible. And now his troubles with "the South Side of Beverly Manor" began -- and what trouble he was to always have with them! These were the richer of the two groups. These were the men whose sons and daughters his children would marry" You should know that Patton and Lewis were kin, through the Lynns of Scotland. Kin folks soften behave differently, so hard to predict unless the relationship is understood. Benjamin Burden (Borden) was also a relative, as was Michael Woods. Also William Thompson, from whom they acquired land. John Craig was apparently a very resolute man, but also very kind. Unusually kind for the time. He opposed severe punishment for the crimes against the church, such as working or not attending. And a word about Lillian Kennerly Craig. She was like her ancestor. I enjoyed meeting her. She pulled no punches, was very objective and had and enjoyable sense of humor. I value her correspondence with my father.
