Looking to secure the death dates of Matthias Rizer b. 1814 and died between 1851-1860 and his wife Nancy W. Earson Rizer who was born 1814 and died after 1883 (the year she sold lots in Piedmont.) This couple married 21 Nov 1839 in Hampshire Co, W.Vir, but lived in Mineral Co. Seeking data for the Rizer Family book. Thank you, Kathleen Rizer

Sara, I received your copy of the article, and read it with interest. My George Core settled on Lot 12, but was left off of the list for some reason. I have a copy of his lease, which mentions adjoiners Christopher Cocke and Adam Hider. He sold his lease to Andrew Pancake in 1775, and the sale was recorded in 1777 (Hampshire County, WV Deed Book 3, pp. 154-155). I had decided that the property was located near Petersburg, since I recalled that a nearby leaseholder had property on Lunice Creek. I'll use your article to rethink my conclusion, since I've found out that there is a Core's Run near Romney, just north of the village of Pancake. It would somehow make sense if my ancestor's property was there! Thanks for your help. I'm glad to have found a legitimate researcher among the "easy-chair" genealogists. Brian Brian D. Core P.O.

It should be noted that the South Branch Manor was one of several tracts of land in the greater South Branch Valley of the Potomac belonging to Lord Fairfax as part of his Northern Neck proprietary. It was located along the South Branch between the southern tip of the Trough (just north of Moorefield) to the Petersburg area. No one, to my knowledge, has ever found or reconstructed a map of the lots within the South Branch Manor. The earliest list of names associated with the South Branch Manor (ca late 1740s-1750s) appears in an excellent article by Charles Morrison entitled "Early Fairfax Land Grants and Leases Along the South Branch of the Potomac," in WV History, V37 (Oct 1976), pp. 1-22 . Morrison indicates that he found some of these early rental roles in the Library of the WVA Dept of Archives and History WV in Charleston. "Lots along the South Fork were numbered sequentially from (1) at the Fairfax line to (20) at the South Branch Manor Line....Lots along the Wappacomo [portion of the South Branch of the Potomac from Moorefield to its mouth at the Potomac] were numbered sequentially from (1) at The Trough to (64) at the mouth of the South Branch. (6) at the mouth of Buffalo Run, (18) at Romney, (28) at Hanging Rock (Wappacomo)." There are other names in the article for land owners on other tracts on the South Fork and on the Wappacomo north of the Trough but I have only included those on the South Branch Manor tract. Morrison states that the rental lists for the South Branch Manor are not complete and are undated (though internal evidence shows at least some to be prior to 1763.) Some of the names are of those associated with the lessee, perhaps as witness or bondsman. SOUTH BRANCH MANOR LANDS Arranged Numerically and Alphabetically by Sara Stevens Patton The following data was taken from "Early Fairfax Land Grants and Leases Along the South Branch of the Potomac" by Charles Morrison published in West Virginia History Vol. 37: 1-22 (Oct 1976) which is listed alphabetically. By rearranging this data by numerical lot numbers or grouped by creek, it is possible to discern geographical proximity and sometimes the actual location of a given farmstead or "plantation." Often times, it is the names of such neighbors that appear as witnesses on wills, estate appraisers, neighbors on land deeds, or bondsmen on other documents. Family researchers may also notice how often the maiden name of a wife appears as a neighboring name to the husband's family. It appears that the South Branch Manor lot numbers began at the south end of the Trough going south to Moorefield (#20) and SW to Petersburg (#60s) and west to the Manor Line.

Dear List Members, Some of you may have seen our queries before but we have just obtained new information that may or may not have any bearing on our search. We are the CROCKETTs that are researching 'James ASHER CROCKETT'. Asher served in the Revolution for two terms. He states in his pension application that he was born in Hampshire County VA in 1760. When he was about 16 years old he ran away from his cruel master and enlisted in the army. Instead of writing all of this again will quote from various sources: To: va-roots@leo.vsla.edu Subject: RE: CROCKETT ties in Hampshire Co, VA From: MegaGrafx@aol.com *new address at this time* Date: Mon, 7 Oct 1996 00:47:59 -0400 "Does Asher CROCKETT have connections in Hampshire Co, VA where he was born? Who were his parents ANDERSON or CROCKETT? He had an alias name, why did he use the name Asher CROCKETT or James ANDERSON? His parents were possibly dead at that time before the revolution, said he was bound by his master in his declaration for rev. pension when he left western VA to join the army. Some of this info was obtain from a bible record. Jas. Anderson alias Asher CROCKETT, file #2533 VA (12-762), Pvt.. army, VA Troop Regiment under Capt. Fitzpatrick, VA Line under Colonel Hite command. Pension granted to Sarah BLANKENSHIP CROCKETT wife married Sept 8, 1800 VA. Served 3 years. Discharged 1781 rank Pvt.. dated Jan. 1, 1836 pension, born Sept 1760 left Hampshire Co, VA in 1784. In 1776 left western VA went to Penn. and NJ joined Washington's army served 1st term as camp boy. Ca. 1778 returned to Hampshire Co, VA learns of former master getting him back he returned to the army again until he was discharged in 1781. Some children were mentioned on pension application Andrew Jackson (should be JOHNSON) CROCKETT, Sylvester (actually son of Andrew J.) CROCKETT, Nancy, others. (Note: Asher and Sarah had five children: Peter m. Nancy Garrett - they moved west to Shawnee Territory in Kansas; Mary possibly m. a MILLER in KY; Charlotte m. Edward MILLER; Elizabeth m. Joseph KELLEY; and Andrew Johnson m. Eliza Blankenship.) John Henry (I think this was WESLEY) CROCKETT s/o Andrew Jackson CROCKETT, b. ca 1830 m. Polly STAFFORD. John served in the Union army during the Civil War from Wayne Co. VA(WV). He had a brother I think James in the Confederate army. Children of John H.

A diverse group of individuals met on the field of battle on a bitterly cold Wednesday morning, January 17, 1781. Of the more than two thousand men who fought this battle, the National Park Service can document fifteen black males who fought with the Americans. In addition, there is one famous black male who the NPS cannot document. Who were the known minorities in the Battle of Cowpens? The names of minorities that the National Park Service can document at the Battle of Cowpens are as follows: James Anderson (or Asher Crockett), Julius Cesar, Lemerick Farr, Andrew Ferguson, Fortune Freeman, Gideon Griffen, Morgan Griffen, Drury Harris, Edward Harris, Allen Jeffers, Berry Jeffers, Osborne Jeffers, Andrew Peeleg, Dick Pickens, and Record Primes (or Primus Record.) Is any additional information available on these people? There is not a lot of additional information available on most of the minorities. However, the information available is interesting. James Anderson or Asher Crockett ran away from his master in 1776 and joined General Washington's army, remaining with it for two years as a camp boy and waiter. He then returned to Hampshire County, Virginia, where his old master attempted to reclaim him. In order to avoid that fate, he rejoined the army as a substitute for someone who had been drafted. At Hillsborough, North Carolina, he came down with smallpox. His unit left him behind when the departed. After his recovery, he returned to fight at Hanging Rock, South Carolina. In his pension record, he stated that he was on the field at Camden and was a witness to the mortal wounding of Baron de Kalb. He was in the battles of both Cowpens and Guilford Courthouse. He stayed behind at Guilford with the sick and then joined General Lafayette and was present at Cornwallis' surrender at Yorktown, Virginia. After Yorktown, he marched with the baggage to Winchester, Virginia. Under Captain Fitzpatrick, he guarded the magazine and public stores at Powhatan Courthouse. After the war ended, he was under the command of General Clark in Kentucky. Anderson (or Crockett) married Sarah Blankenship from Giles County, Virginia in September 1800. He filed for a pension on November 26, 1832. http://www.nps.gov/cowp/minority.htm; Last Updated: 7/24/99 12:09PM; HTML donated by volunteer: John Robertson" SO-O-o-o: My question now is: does anyone on this list have any information on a CROCKETT family that would have been living in Hampshire County in 1760 through 1776 that might have had slaves?? Was ASHER a slave?? We have always just assumed (for the last 25 yrs.) that he was bound out to learn a trade or that he was an orphan. Since finding this latest information about the 'Battle of Cowpens' I'm beginning to wonder if this is why he has been such a 'BRICKWALL'. Was he a slave?? a free person of color?? mulatto?? Melungeon?? If anyone out there has any information that could be of help to us or any ideas of where to search next OR if this is your family - would love to hear from you.
