They concluded that, "the waether being cold and snowy, he came out on that side of Joanes River which is on the Duxburrow side, upon his return from Plymouth, endeavoring to come home, and came near home; and by his track in the snow we find that he had wandered to and fro and lost himself, and did so wilder that he came upon a flat nigh the place called Longe Point upon the said flat, which is now in the possession of Joseph Andrews, and that he was found.... [H]e was lost, as we conceive, in the evening, and so he did bewilder himself, the sixth of this instant December, 1661."

On Aug 21 1843, a $150 bond was posted by Ephraim Bee as surety for the intended marriage between Henry T. Hallam and Elizabeth Burnside. But subsequent court documents show that Hallam reneged, that the marriage never occurred, and that Elizabeth Burnside sued Ephraim Bee for slanderous statements that led to Hallam's change of heart. Relationship, if any, between Henry T. Hallam and the Isaac Hallam who officiated the marriage between Elizabeth Burnside and Eugenius Henry is not known. | Family: Henry T. HALLAM / Elizabeth BURNSIDE (F57161)

Thomas Clayton and his family, including the married children, had migrated to Warren County, Ohio, in 1805. Previously, they had joined the settlement at Salem (W)VA in about 1793. Though the spelling "Clayton" is sometimes found, "Claton" is the more common, both for Thomas and his children. | Family: Thomas D. CLATON / Elizabeth "Rosa" BRAND (F3296)
|
| 21540 | On January 27, 1869, Hiram Rollins entered into a contract with the trustees of Cabin Run Church to construct a new church building to exact specifications. The work was to be completed by April 1, 1869. | ROLLINS, Hiram (I23614)
|
| 21541 | On July 3, 1769 Andrew claimed a 342 acre tract of land called "Plot # 35, Elk Hills" on the Monongahela River in Nicholson Township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania. The tract was located where New Geneva stands today. The land was surveyed June 26, 1770 and was conveyed to John Wilson September 17. 1785. In 1771, Andrew and his brother Samuel apparently moved from Pennsylvania and settled on Elk Creek in the part of Monongalia County VA that became Harrison County VA (WV) in 1774. Andrew was allegedly shot by John Simpson in an altercation over either a pint or a peck of salt, depending on the source material. Glen Lough commented on the incident in his book "Now and Long Ago": "William Childers wrote that 'Mr. John Simpson traded down where Morgantown is for a long time and would come here where Clarksburg is when the Indians came in to hunt, and trade with them like all the others. He built a trading cabin on Elk creek in later years and that's where he shot Mr. Andrew Cottral after he stole some salt from Mr. Cottral and his friends. and Mr. Cotral came to his cabin with his gun to get it back. They took Mr. Cotral's body down the river in a canoe to his home in Pennsylvania and buried it. and he said that Mr. Simpson did not tell the truth when he said he shot Mr. Cotral because he saw that Mr. Cotral was about to shoot him.'" Andrew died before 1781, since two Monongalia County land certificates issued in 1781 assigned property to his heirs. These two tracts were near Nutters fort. "Heirs of Andrew Cottrill, deceased, 400 acres on Ann Moore's Run, adjoining lands of Amaziah Davisson, to include his settlement made in 1772." "Heirs of Andrew Cottrill, deceased, 400 acres of the water of Elk Creek, adjoining lands of Joseph Hastings, to include his settlement made in 1773." Although the records are silent on Andrew's widow, Harrison County VA minute books record the "binding out" of children of Andrew Cottrell years after his death. William was bound to Alexander West September 22, 1784, Thomas to Ann Burrows September 17, 1787 and Andrew to James Davidson October 15, 1787. Orphan children were usually "bound out" to families in the community, however, apprentices for various trades were also bound out. Andrew was released August 18, 1790 as being of full age and having received his estate in full. This release suggests that Andrew's children were apprentices rather than "bound out orphans." The History of Harrison County, contained in the WV Heritage Encyclopedia, comments on the Cottrells as follows: "Both Andrew and Samuel left descendants who are still with us. The Cottrells have for generations been distinguished for their personal courage; they were quick to take offense and were always ready to avenge an insult either to themselves or to a friend. They were tough customers to tackle in a rough and tumble fist fight. It is said that they never used weapons, always fought fair and quit when the other fellow called "enough", which was most generally the case."

| 21542 | On Jun 6 1852, William Fitz Randolph, in a letter to Western Lunatic Asylum director Dr. Francis J. Stribling regarding his son Waldo F. Randolph, wrote: "I suppose Reuben Strother is with you. His friends desire me to ask you to write to them. They are very anxious to hear from Ruben." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_State_Hospital_(Virginia) https://opacity.us/site162_western_state_hospital_virginia.htm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MI1OE56xHAA https://youtu.be/HWNFDf8urHw https://youtu.be/dUGhBYz2RKo https://youtu.be/gNsRWNB62jc | STROTHER, Reuben (I37801)

| 21543 | On June 1, 1880, Henry Lee Gaston purchased at public auction, for the sum of 94 cents in delinquent taxes, the 21 acre farm of Andrew J.

| 21544 | On June 30, 1839, "A group of about 30 men headed by John Webster along with his wife Dolly and their two children, Booker, 10, and Virginia, 3, traveled from Hornsbys Bend on their way to land they had purchased in Burnet County. "They had reached what is known as the dividing ridge between south and north San Gabriel when they came upon a band of Comanche Indians making their way in the direction of the settlements. The Webster party altered its course hoping to be undiscovered. They traveled late into the night, until one of the wagons broke an axle while crossing the San Gabriel River. After working for hours repairing the wagon, the party continued its retreat and reached Brushy Creek at sunrise. "The Comanches, with about 300 warriors, attacked the Webster party during the early morning hours of Aug. 27, 1839 at a spot two miles east of Leander. The party circled their wagons and fought valiantly until about 10 a.m. when the last man fell. The Indians broke up the wagons and provisions that were being carried, including Mrs. Websters fine china. They scalped all the men except John Webster, possibly excluding him because he was older and had white hair. "Soon after the massacre some of the Websters stock found its way back to the Hornsbys Bend settlement with Indian arrows stuck in their sides. The group that had remained at the settlement were worried and immediately sent out a search party. They found the bodies at the site of the massacre and buried them in a common grave, using the bed of one of the wagons as a coffin. "The Comanches took Dolly Webster and her two children into captivity. The three were separated at times, but after several months of imprisonment, Dolly and Virginia were able to escape. Eluding their captors for 12 days, the Websters eventually found their way to San Antonio in late March 1840. In a treaty agreement the Indians voluntarily returned Booker Webster six days after his mother and sister arrived. "Booker Webster later served in the Mexican War with the Texas Mounted volunteers. He was wounded in service and died in Mexico City Jan. 16, 1848 at age 18. Virginia Webster had a full life after eventually settling in California."

| 21546 | On March 5 1896, J. N. Dotson, Andrew Hart and J. E. Waldo posted $500 Administrator's Bond, with J. N. Dotson being appointed Administrator of the estate of "Rosetta Leeson, deceased." J. N. Dotson is probably one of the many name variations of Rosetta's son-in-law William Judson Dotson. It appears that the estate of Rosetta's husband, Thomas D. Leeson, who died in 1882, had not been settled, as J. N. Dotson was also appointed Administrator of the estate of "T. D. Leeson, deceased" on Apr 11 1896. | DAVIS, Rosetta (I57593)
