Notes for NICHOLAS CARPER: >From GOODE2SHUS@aol.com: >From "Early Marriages, Wills and Some Revolutionary War Records of Botetourt County, Virginia" by Anne Worrell: Nicholas Carper, will probate May 1813. Names wife, Elizabeth, and children Jacob, Benjamin, Elizabeth Harvey, Mary McFarran, Joseph, Sally, Holstine, and Isaac. Note: The names Harvey and McFarran are married names. - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >From Peggy A. Grubbs book on the Carpers: Revolutionary War, buried at Presbyterian Church, Fincastle. ---------- I ascribe this information to this Nicholas Carper, since his father, Nicholas, was not in Virginia, and this Nicholas had many children, but quite possibly none were 16 in 1787. Also, he died in Botetourt. So... In the 1787 Census of Virginia for Botetourt County, p. 223 - Carper, Nicholas (paid his own tax). He had horses and cows, but no males between 16 & 21. ---------- Moved about 1778 to Fincastle, Virginia, where he died in 1813, survived by his wife Elizabeth and 8 children. He was an elder of the Fincastle Presbyterian church, and represented Botetourt County in the Virginia House of Delegates in 1802 and 1803; was a large landholder, and a slaveholder. Buried at Fincastle Church. AFN:H9GO-QC ----------- Vince, My source of will info of Nicholas Carper was contained in OVER THE MOUNTAIN MEN, by Anne Lowry Worrell in 1934 which gives a probate date of May 1813 in Botetourt Co. Names wife, Elizabeth; and ch Jacob; Benjamin; Elizabeth Harvey; Mary M'ferran; Joseph; Sally Holestine; and Isaac. >From this info, I would conclude that Elizabeth Harvey was the married child of Nicholas and Elizabeth Carper so your info that his wife was a Shrider could well be correct. Someone may have misread the will thus creating Elizabeth Harvey as Nicholas' wife. His dau, Elizabeth, married James Harvey 21 Jul 1790 in Botetourt Co.
