| 601 | The following was posted at the Find A Grave web site: Stephen Hiram Hogg, known as Hiram was the son of Stephen Hogg and Sarah "Sallie" Williams. The Hoggs were descendants of a Scottish immigrant from Edinburgh who arrived in Virginia about 1745. Hiram grew up on the farm in Perry (now Letcher) County, Kentucky. As an adult he was a farmer and a tanner. In his early years he was the Justice of the Peace of Perry County. Hiram owned one of the first houses built in Summit City. In 1842, Letcher County was created and Hiram was one of the 3 men appointed by the Governor to define the boundaries of the new county. There was considerable debate over where the county seat should be located. Hiram owned most of the buildings in Summit City and offered to give 10 acres of his farm land to the new county for a county seat if it would be located in his hometown of Summit City. The county officials readily accepted this offer. The new name of the county seat became Whitesburg. The present courthouse of Letcher County is occupying Hiram's old bean patch. Hiram became one of the county's first sheriffs. Later he became a judge. The first Circuit Court in Letcher County was held in Hiram's home. He was one of the first jailers and the first sheriffs. These circumstances earned Judge Hiram Hogg the name "Courthouse Hiram." In 1847 he served in the State Legislature as a Representative for Letcher, Perry and Clay Counties in the Legislature for one term. About 1820, he married Viney Williams and they had 14 children. Viney died in April of 1846. Seven months later Hiram married Mary Polly Roark on 11-22-1846 in Letcher County. His children with Mary Polly Roark were Maletha "Letha," Solomon, Paulina, Mary, and Greenville. Rosa and William Wesley were also likely Hiram's children by Mary Polly. They were born before her marriage to Hiram. Their last name was changed from Roark to Hogg by an act of the legislature in 1848 so "that they be capable to inherit the estate of Hiram Hogg, as if they were his own children born in lawful wedlock." In the fall of 1862 Hiram and his son Stephen, an attorney and businessman, moved their families from Whitesburg to Booneville about 75 miles to the northwest. In fact the entire town of Whiteburg was practically depopulated for some time in the 1860s. That summer (1862), a neighbor, Col. Ben Caudill, and his gang of guerrilla rebels were terrorizing the Whitesburg and Letcher County residents who were neutral in the Civil War or were Union sympathizers. People were being killed, crops burned, and property confiscated. Hiram move to Booneville Kentucky in hopes of escaping the violence. Four of Hiram's sons, Stephen, Henry, Edward and Tennessee Rhea volunteered in the Union Army. Two of them, Edward and Tennessee Rhea died in the war. One son, Hiram, Jr., enlisted in the Confederate Army in October 1862. He survived and was discharged at the end of the war (1865).

| 602 | The Fry-Jefferson Map of 1751 includes the location along the Rappahannock River of a Robinson Estate, a little below the town of Fredericksburg, Va. The map includes the locations of many estates, generally marked on the map with the family name. Across the river from Fredericksburg was the Ferry Farm, boyhood home to George Washington. The Washington family were members of St. George's Parish and attended church in Fredericksburg where William Robinson was a vestryman. The actual owner of the Robinson estate shown below Fredericksburg is currently unknown to me. It appears that William's brother, John Robinson, Speaker of the House of Burgesses was a onetime resident or landholder in the area as was their father, John Robinson, President of the Governor's Council of Virginia. The Robinson estate shown on the map was probably that of one of William's close relatives but could have been an additional home of his own. William's estate was purchased out of a 2200 acre land patent belonging to his father which was located between two of the four branches that rise in Spotsylvania County, Virginia which ultimately become the Mattaponi River. The four streams are named the Ma, the Ta, the Po and the Ni. The Ma and the Ta come together and form the Matta River while the Po and the Ni rivers form the Poni river. Finally, the Matta and the Poni Rivers merge to become the Mattaponi. If William lived on the acreage that he purchased from his father's Cleasby Patent then his home would be about southeast of Fredericksburg. | Robinson, Major William (I2790)
|
| 603 | The German name for this place was Nurschau. | Pytlik, Franz Jr. (I2152)
|
| 604 | The information concerning the death of Keturah and the birth of a child on the same date is collected from unsourced Internet posts. If true, it indicates that Keturah's husband may have traveled with his father-in-law to Kentucky in 1817 when the extended family migrated there. | Robinson, Keturah Ann (I2777)
|
| 605 | The land described as being in Estill County on Miller's Creek and adjoining the land of John Horn appears to be near the land that was owned by Aaron Horn's widow, Elizabeth which was settled between 1778 and 1803 amid a lawsuit between mother and son. See Elizabeth, Person ID I153 in this database; includes some of the images of the actual land transaction and survey. I suspect that the John Horn listed in Israels Will was a descendant of Aaron Horn and Elizabeth but if correct, I do not know the relationship (DJS - 20 Feb 2013). | Meadows, Israel (I1102)
|
| 606 | The land records refer often to Nimcock Creek in various spellings. Nimcock would later be known as Wormeley's Creek and today it is known as Urbanna Creek. A Virginia Historical Marker exists in Urbanna, VA which explains the name changes over time. | Obert, Bertram Sr. (I2866)
|
| 607 | The marriage of George and Louisa took place at the home of Nancy Downing. | Family F1219
|
| 608 | The marriage of John Barnes and Milly was presided over by the Reverend George Thompson in Culpeper County, Virginia. Milly stated this in her Widow's pension as well as the year of marriage being 1782 or 1783. | Family F71
|
| 609 | The marriage place and date is confirmed. A copy of the an existing record of this marriage was obtained from the Harlan County Clerk of Court. The surviving documentation consists of a marriage register entry showing the full name of the Groom followed by the full name of the bride, the full name of the person who performed the marriage (John Dixon), and the date when the marriage took place. | Family F652
|
| 610 | The name "Clesby," or correctly spelled, Cleasby, is an obvious reference to the ancestral home in England. Cleasby was the name given to describe the 2200 acre land patent of 1718 belonging to his father and from which William purchased 500 acres. | Robinson, Major William (I2790)
|
| 611 | The name Anthony appears on the Social Security application that was first person information while the name Phillip is given on Joseph Nitti's (Anthony's son) death certificate where the informant was Joseph Nitti's daughter, Rose Nitti-McGarry. | Nitti, Antonio (I1160)
|
| 612 | The name Neudorf appears in records and is the name applied by the Germans to this place. Accent marks have been removed from the place record because they do not always appear correctly online. | Frana, Johann (I161)
|
| 613 | The name William Brown comes from a letter by Stephen Sewell Combs, would would be the great Grandson of William Brown. In the letter he states that William Brown came over from England before the Revolutionary War. | Brown, William (Tentative) (I1057)
|
| 614 | The name, "Nancy" comes from the Last Will and Testament of William Terrill in reference to his wife. The name, "Anne", comes from the marriage record of William Terrill and Anne Daniel (Spinster). I have seen reference to another, purported, marriage of Nancy Daniel to Elijah Curtis in 1801. There is an image available of the marriage record (Both William Terrill and Ann Daniel as well as Elijah Curtis to Nancy Daniel) online at familysearch.org in the Orange County, Virginia marriage collection. The index at ancestry erroneously provides the name Reubin Pain as the father of the Nancy Daniel shown in the register book. Reubin was not listed in that record as Nancy's father but was listed as a different bride's father several lines down the page. For the Nancy Daniel who appears in the 1801 marriage record to be correct, there must have been a divorce since William Terrill lived until 1830 as evidenced by his Will. Furthermore, William named his wife, Nancy, in that Will which would indicate they were still married up until the Will was written in 1829. I suspect that these Nancy Daniels are two distinct individuals. | Family F1063
|
| 615 | The nickname of Maggie, a diminutive of the name Margaret, comes from National Soldiers' Home records for John Francis Boyle who listed his "cousin, Maggie Acheson" as his nearest relative. John also stated that "Maggie" lived in Marshall, MN which is 8.5 miles from Lynd, MN where the family was living at the time that John gave this information (DJS). | Acheson, Margaret E. (I4018)
|
| 616 | The NSSAR, which appears to have obtained this information from the NSDAR, provide a burial location for Francis Robinson as being in the Raven Creek Cemetery. While Raven Creek Cemetery is absolutely in close proximity to where Francis Robinson lived, I believe that the burial location is actually in one of the several family plots of the Robinson/Thompson and associated families. I have provided a book source that does suggest a family plot and gives directions to it. NSSAR Patriot Grave Search: https://memberinfo.sar.org/patriotsearch/search.aspx Which is in disagreement with the book reference S954 in this tree database, "Abstract of Graves of Revolutionary Patriots", Vol 1-4. http://tree.schimka.com/showsource.php?sourceID=S954&tree=schimka Further evidence of Francis Robinson's burial NOT being in the Raven Creek Cemetery is the application that Milford Readnower made to the U.S. Government for a burial marker in which Milford states that the grave was in the front yard of an old home. Whether that was in the front yard of Francis' old home or an old home that existed at that time, is unclear. The marker was ordered and shipped to Milford but I do not know if it was ever placed. | Robinson, Francis (I2058)
|
| 617 | The obituary falls under the heading of "Hinton" which could be an indicator that Hezekiah Skinner died in Harrison County, Kentucky which is where the community of Hinton is located. Image copy from the May 21st, 1902 issue of "The Georgetown News," was graciously shared by Donna Skinner Shuey. | Skinner, Hezekiah S. (I103)
|
| 618 | The pension is difficult to read but, Archelaus may have said that the division massed to return home at the head of the Catawba River in North Carolina. The place is clear, it is the part that may say, "div massed" that is difficult to transcribe. Nevertheless, Archelaus was only serving a three month term on this tour of duty. During this tour they were marched against the Cherokee Indians on the French Broad River. The actual statement is, ". . . He was marched against the Indians on French Broad at the Cherokee Indians . . . ". "At the Cherokee Indians" probably means that there was a large, well known Cherokee town some place along the French Broad River and researching that would probably reveal more historical detail, specifically, dates. | Craft, Archelaus Sr (I706)
|
| 619 | The person who presided over the marriage of Robert Ashcraft and Minnie Winkle was Judge Phillips. It is uncertain as yet, whether or not this is Judge Benjamin Franklin Phillips. Witnesses at this wedding were Linnie Winkle and Major Pitcher (This information came from Gertrude Ashcraft). | Family F201
|
| 620 | The person with the name Bullock is mentioned in Israel's pension file as having been a justice of the peace. | Meadows, Israel (I1102)
|
| 621 | The Phantom Governorship of John Robinson, Sr., 1749 David Alan Williams, The Virginia Magazine of History and Biography, Vol. 68, No. 1, Part One (Jan., 1960), pp. 104-106. | Robinson, John (I2798)
|
| 622 | The place of birth being Ford, Kentucky is found on the burial card from Spring Grove Cemetery in Hamilton County, Ohio. | Pitcher, Minnie Frances (I1447)
|
| 623 | The place of John's birth varies by record during his lifetime. 1850: On this census enumeration John's place of birth is given as New Jersey. 1860: U.S. Census, birth place, New Jersey. 1861: Marriage Certificate, birth place, Pennsylvania. 1863: Civil War Draft Registration his place of birth is Pennsylvania. 1870: U.S. Census, birth place, Rhode Island. 1875: Rhode Island State Census, birth place, Pennsylvania. 1880: U.S. Census, birth place, Pennsylvania. 1885: Rhode Island State Census, birth place, Pennsylvania. 1891: Death Certificate, birth place, Whitehall, Pennsylvania. | Boyle, John (I1935)
|
| 624 | The placement of Isaac Back was made with some speculative deduction. I have found a marriage record for Isaac Back and Elizabeth Back (same surname) and the Elizabeth Back matched the birth date for Elizabeth, daughter of Alfred Back and Nancy Caudill. I have found a death certificate for Isaac Back that lists his father as Lewis Back and his mother's maiden name as "Roberts" which matched those two individuals already in my database. | Back, Isaac (I2180)
|
| 625 | The regiment marched to Williamsburg and from there to Pamunkey River, Deep Spring and Little York on scouting trips. | Robinson, Francis (I2058)
|
| 626 | The undertaker on the death certificate is named as Jim Smith. | Smith, No Name (I1582)
|
| 627 | The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services has a fee-based service to obtain copies of the Certificate of Naturalization of deceased individuals. Some of the documents related to naturalization were obtained from this service while others were obtained from the Cook County Clerks office.

|
| 628 | The Virginia Gazette article erroneously printed the 8th instead of the 18th. By the calendar, the 18th would have fallen upon a Monday whereas the 8th would not. | Robinson, Christopher (I2871)
|
| 629 | The wedding took place at the home of Mary's father, Napoleon Thompson. | Family F558
|
| 630 | The widely quoted death date of 25 June 1850 is clearly incorrect. Joseph was alive on the 3rd of August, 1850 and was enumerated that date on the 1850 Census living in Breathitt County, Kentucky along with his wife, father-in-law, Stephen Hogg Sr, and many other close family members in other homes enumerated on the same census page. | Back, Joseph (I975)
|
| 631 | The Will of Israel Meadows should be found in the Estill County, Kentucky, Probate Records on FHL microfilm. Vols. A-C 1808-1857 Family History Library US/CAN Film 254623 | Meadows, Israel (I1102)
|
| 632 | At least one living or private individual is linked to this note - Details withheld. | Private (I4270)
|
| 633 | The year 1883 is from the shared headstone for Luigi Ricci, Maria Manalia-Ricci, and other members of the family. | Manalia, Maria (I3312)
|
| 634 | There are a couple of other individuals living in the home of Robert Wilson in 1850, as recorded on the 1850 U.S. Census, in Madison County, Kentucky. These may be additional children and/or grandchildren. | Wilson, Robert (I2009)
|
| 635 | There are five slaves listed on this census record. | Horn, William (I150)
|
| 636 | There are many variations found for this name. | Maggard, Rebecca (I3843)
|
| 637 | There are several other Meadows in this list; probably brothers, uncles, etc of Israel. | Meadows, Israel (I1102)
|
| 638 | There are two death certificates for Benjamin and both have different birth dates as well as slightly differing dates of death. One certificate was not a signed return while the other was. Neighter birth date of the two certificates agrees with the date of birth from the 1850 Census Enumeration. | Wells, Benjamin (I2750)
|
| 639 | There is a related document which indicates acreage from the same tract of land that was originally granted to Harry Beverley and passed to his daughter Agatha upon his decease. That property was then being occupied by John Robinson, brother of William Robinson (as indicated by the name of John's wife in the record, Lucy). | Robinson, Major William (I2790)
|
| 640 | There is a marriage between one William Hatton and Elizabeth Dixon on 24 September 1818 in Estill County, Kentucky. I suspect that marriage to William Hatton could have been a second marriage for Elizabeth or the William Hatton referenced in the Hatton/Dixon marriage record could be a nephew of William John Hatton. | Family F1510
|
| 641 | There is a potential reference to this death record at FamilySearch.org | Whitson, Rueben (I2246)
|
| 642 | There is a William Meadows on the same tax list page who was probably the brother of Israel. | Meadows, Israel (I1102)
|
| 643 | There is an 1853 death record for Stephen Hogg in Breathitt County, Kentucky. Following the lines to the right is a column with parents' names. In this instance, it appears that a "copyist" transferred the names of the parents on the right page of the register in a different order than the corresponding children's names on the left. For example: Thomas M Daniel Polly Hogg Stephen Hogg G.W. & Gemma Fayette Chapman Nighly | McCullough, Mary (Tentative - Surname is speculative) (I4103)
|
| 644 | There is an Ann Parsons on the Greenbrier County, Virginia Personal Property Tax List of 1782. I did not see any other Parsons in this county in 1782. If this is the same Ann as included on this profile page then it indicates the probably death of a spouse in or shortly before this tax year. Note to self: Garrett Green and Israel Meadows are on the same image which includes two register book pages. Garrett and Israel are on the second register book page in this image. (DJS). | Ann (I4030)
|
| 645 | There is at least one article about Abraham Fields that apparently contains information about Abraham becoming a guardian to the children of a brother, named Joseph, in Maryland and then bringing those children with when he relocated to Scott County, Kentucky. This article appears to be in one of the volumes of "Kentucky Ancestors" between 7-8 around 1971. This information was gleaned from a Google book search but the resulting "snip" was very limited. The search included two exact phrases - "maryland historical magazine" "abraham fields" which returned a hit in the Kentucky Historical Society's publication, "Kentucky Ancestors." | Fields, Abraham (I122)
|
| 646 | There may be additional related probate records also available in this collection at FamilySearch.org or in county records; a search has not yet been conducted. | Wray, Benjamin (I4437)
|
| 647 | There may be another identifiable child of this family, Nancy Pitcher, who married William Vaughn in August of 1838 in Madison County, Kentucky. The marriage bond was dated 8 August 1838 and the father of Nancy Pitcher was specifically named as Joshua Pitcher. This Joshua Pitcher also served as the bondsman along with William Vaughn. This is still speculation; I have found no other corroborating evidence. (DJS). | Family F108
|
| 648 | There seems to be a discrepency with this marriage record as indexed at FamilySearch.org. In 1870 and 1880, Hugh and Anne appeared to be already married as recorded on the Federal Census Enumerations of those years. | Family F712
|
| 649 | This area became a part of Tennessee when it gained statehood in 1796. | Robertson, Catherine (I1748)
|
| 650 | This family was the nucleus of most Horn families in Estill and Lee Counties. | Family F104
|
