“But avoid stupid controversies, genealogies, dissensions, and quarrels over the law,
for they are unprofitable and futile.” Titus 3:9
This book, incomplete as it cannot avoid being, is dedicated to the
strong
colonial and pioneer mountain women
who overcame hardship, poverty, illness and the loss of many infants
to bear us and rear us,
and whose own family identities have largely been lost
in the mists of male-dominated time.

Acknowledgements and Gratitude
To the late Robert A. Pendergrast of Atlanta, Georgia, a true Southern gentleman whose meticulous research set the standard high, whose own book helped to clear away some of the mysteries while still creating others, and whose wonderful Bible verse I shamelessly copied. His wise counsel is sorely missed.
To my beloved late father, James Paul Pendergrass, whose genealogical enthusiasm was unparalleled, whose investigation of the Cordy descendants was painstakingly accurate, but whose conclusion- jumping about the very early generations in tandem with that of his friend Allen Pendergraft has created some of the misinformation this book seeks to rectify.
To my half first cousin, Daniel Boone Pendergrass the Third, (who believes he is only a Junior) for recording and preserving data, legends, and photographs, for pointing out inconsistencies in logic, for finding the lost child Cordy, and for his patient expertise and aid with photos and computer glitches.
To my half first cousin, Linda Hagood Giess, the burr under my saddle, whose doubts fueled much of the extra research and validation of the connections in this book, and whose many hours reading miles of microfilm turned up or inspired several valuable discoveries. Her disagreement with some of my conclusions often forced me to dig much deeper for solid evidentiary proof than I otherwise might have done.
To my dear paternal uncles, the late Daniel Boone Pendergrass II, the late Ernest Eugene “Kentucky” Pendergrass and the late Dr. George Washington Pendergrass, Junior, to my first cousins, half and whole, and their spouses for their sharp recollections and honesty about many of the humorous and tragic episodes of our family’s more recent history.
To my paternal first cousin, James Paul Murray, namesake of my father, and his sweet and patient wife, Robin Cinnamon Murray, for their generosity, hospitality, and dialectical assistance.
To my amazing friend Mary Fern Souder of the Orange County “Job” group for creating and coordinating the Pendergraft/Pendergrass YDNA project, sharing her extensive knowledge and tirelessly helping to sort fact from fiction through these many years, and to all those who contributed DNA samples.
To my many Sandy Creek fifth cousins for so generously sharing information and photographs- Charles Pendergrass, Peggy Rose Lassiter, Betty Pendergrass Velazquez, Gary Dean Allen, and Bennet George, among many others.
To my good young friends Adrian José Orozco Moisa and especially Mark Lee Russell for his patient expertise in formatting and adding exhibits to this book and helping to publish it in print and online,
To my dear friend and talented musician Randal Branham for his energizing support and sanctuary during these decades of research and writing, and for always believing in me.
To the unsung and patient archivists, librarians, court clerks, authors, editors, and patriotic organization members who dedicate their time to the preservation and transcription of documents, and to all those who have contributed memories, facts, records, photographs and encouragement, both online and in person.
May those who come after us continue the ongoing effort to sort out, record, and keep safe our family’s history.

Cautions and Caveats
Not every descendant of every individual will appear in this book. So many early records are missing that it is often impossible to identify all the children of any family. Prior to 1850, only males appeared routinely in public court, land, census and tax records, with only the occasional mention of a widow, newborn, or bride.
Mortality was high, especially among children, and those who died, particularly those who died between census years before death records were mandatory, will usually not be found without an independent will, Bible, church, or cemetery record. Many of their graves are marked only with two simple fieldstones, sadly, too close together.
Daughters who married out before 1850 may never appear in any record under their maiden names unless a marriage record is found, and because of the twenty year census gap, a child born in the early 1880s, male or female, could easily marry, go off to the military, move to another household, die, or find outside employment before the next complete census in 1900.
At the time of the researching for this book, the most recent census records open to the public were for the year 1940 (now 1950.) Most children born thereafter, unless known from some personal family source, will likely not have been found through other records and included here. It is hoped that readers will take time to bring these lines forward, in their own copies of this book, for future generations.
Some descendants who ought to be easily located might not be found due to inconsistent spelling and indexing in public records, or because they were ducking the tax man, overlooked, hospitalized, relocating or incarcerated during the census, or because they disappeared deliberately.
Individual records prior to 1870 for those who were enslaved are scarce and hardly ever contain a surname, although there were far more early free black and mulatto families who left good records than one might imagine. The abhorrent institution of slavery, the barbarism toward and by Native Americans, the withholding of basic rights from other minorities, non-freeholders, and women, and the all-too-frequent inhumanity of war cannot be ignored in genealogical research. We sanitize history at our peril. Terms formerly used that we find offensive now may give important evidence of a person’s genetic heritage or geographic or employment history. Not only is there valuable family information in such documents, but reading the originals gives a much more flavorful and realistic view of events than does a history book written long after the fact. Reading the contemporaneous document in the original handwriting is always preferable to anyone’s transcription or second-hand account.
It is of extreme importance, therefore, that each reader verify information about his or her family before accepting it as true, in this book as well as all other sources, and preferably by reading the original paper document or a direct image of it, and applying logic and math. If an error is discovered in this book, and there are bound to be many, it is hoped that the reader will make it known to the author, so that it can be corrected in later editions and online. Unfortunately, perfection is unattainable.

Key to the Begats and Other Technical Matters
Individuals are generally indexed by surname as the surname appears in the record where it was found. However, if there are multiple spellings in the same document or multiple spellings for the same individual, and it is clear what was intended, a standard name may have been fixed for indexing. Mistakes of indexing by others’ misreading of records have been corrected. For example, Pendergrap or Bendergross typed into a database by an indexer has been corrected to the spelling in the original document. When a first name appears in census records with a phonetic or bizarre spelling and is later corrected by a census taker or tax list maker, the corrected spelling is used to make searching easier; that is, Ardelana in 1850 who is Angelina in 1860 and 1870 will be usually found under Angelina. If a person has two first names and was known by the second one, the second name may appear in quotes, as in James “Paul” Pendergrass. Also in quotes are known nicknames used by or about an individual, such as Frances “Fanny”, or .Nicholas “Danger Nick” Combs. Women’s married names are in parentheses, maiden names in brackets.
Additionally, in the next section is an overview of the assigned nicknames used by cooperating Pendergrass/ft/st genealogists to distinguish the various early John Pendergrasses, so far as possible, from one another. These nicknames were often assigned by the county in which that John had a significant event of record. [tax list, deed, census, will, church or court record]
The reader is cautioned to check every possible spelling of the indexed surnames, including those which might arise by elision, such as Spendergrass in the S section, and to read through the whole section of the alphabet, disregarding current conventional spellings of any name.
The reader is also cautioned that the use of Junior and Senior did not always indicate a father/son relationship, nor should such terms as brother-in-law and cousin be assumed to have meant precisely what they mean today. Also, in early law, an “orphan” was anyone whose father had died, regardless of his mother’s condition, and the term “infant” was used as the term “minor” is today, meaning that an “infant” might be 17 (females) or even 20 (males) years of age.
In the long “begats” sections of this book which seek to organize and number individuals and generations, this book employs the D’Aboville method, one of four employed by Family Tree Maker and to the author’s mind the easiest - none is easy - to understand and search. The earliest and first individual (and spouse) in a family line is therefore indicated by the number 1, children are numbered 1.1; 1.2; 1.3, eldest to youngest, and so on. Children of 1.1 and spouse are numbered 1.1.1; 1.1.2; 1.1.3, children of 1.2 are numbered 1.2.1; 1.2.2, and so on. If looking for the original progenitors of a particular line, then, the reader who locates, for example, an individual with the number 1.5.2.1. would know to look backward through the pertinent sections for the second child of the fifth child of the first generation, removing the last number to find each prior generation. As an additional aid, the first child of each family has his or her primary ancestors listed and numbered; for example, John Henderson4Pendergrass (Raleigh3, Benjamin2, “Wake” John1) indicating that John Henderson is son of Raleigh, son of Benjamin, son of “Wake” John.
To avoid the repetition generated by automatic computer programs, information and discussion about an individual or couple, such as known history, anecdotes, and record mentions, are usually given only the first time that individual or couple is mentioned, so it is important to search backward to the beginning when looking for detailed information about a given individual or family. A brief history of the origin of each major family branch is given at the beginning of its section.
Individuals who descend from George Washington Pendergrass, Sr’s “second litter” with his wife Alma Tempest MacDonald will find themselves listed in three overlapping sections: “Wake” John Pendergrass, Donald MacDonald, and Philippe de la Renaudière, (the latter two almost famous.)
Endnotes are at the end of each section, as are pertinent photographs, documents, and maps, as. many as it was possible to fit into the book. Sadly, allowed space did not permit inclusion of many wondnerful photographs and maps it would have been so nice to include.
vi
The Johns
Because there were so many Pendergrass men with the first name John in so many early generations, researchers have been forced to identify them by nicknames as follows, with each man representing a specific group (or lack) of known descendants:
1. “New Kent” John, son of Michael Pendergrass and Rebecca Unknown
[Married Jane Pleasants, Quaker, d/o John and Dorothy, Henrico Co. Va. 9 February 1709.]
[no known issue] [marriage date transposed from Quaker to Julian Calendar]
2. “Northumberland” John, died there in 1715, Northumberland Co, Va, [issue undetermined]
[Married Elizabeth Unknown, left a widow]
3.. “Richmond” John,[I] Spendergrass born April 1697 Richmond Co., Va, died there in 1733.
[Married Elizabeth Cribin, left a widow]
4 “Richmond” John [II] born December 1734 to Robert and Elizabeth Spendergrass.
5. “Soldier” John, planter, b. 1734/5, enlisted Virginia militia in Northumberland Co. at age 21
[Possibly but not provably the same person as “Richmond” John [II]
6. “Middlesex” John died there 1718 (and another John born there in 1718)
7. “Carpenter” John of Orange County, Virginia, born somewhere by 1707, left there 1755/6.
8. “Wake” John born by 1730 or earlier, arrived in Old Granville Co. North Carolina in 1755,
died in Wake Co. in 1794. [Married Hannah Unknown, left a widow]
9. “Bob’s” John, lived among the “Wake” John group in Bute Co. N.C. then removed to
Lancaster County, South Carolina, whose descendants are the subject of the excellent book by the late Robert A. Pendergrast of Atlanta, Georgia.
[Married Margaret Pownall,(d/o John Pownall and Margaret Nelson), left a widow]
10 “Chatham” John, revolutionary veteran, born about 1749 into the Orange Co., N. Carolina “Job” group, so called because he appeared there on later census and pension records.
[married Mary Rigsbee, left a widow]
11. “Buncombe” John, born about 1768, probably in North Carolina, first appeared of record
in Buncombe Co. NC in 1800, later in Marshall County, Ala.
[married Betsy Oliver, d/o Benjamin, left a widow]
These early Johns, as expected, produced many more Johns of their own who will be discussed individually throughout this book as the necessity arises. Adding to the confusion is that middle names for British Isles men were very rare until at least 1800, so for the early years they each had only the first name “John” with few indications of age. One often wishes there had been a legal requirement that each John Pendergrass be assigned a consistent lifelong number at birth.
vii
The Overview and Migration of the Main Carolina Groups
Although detailed discussion of the early Virginia Pendergrass family groups follows, there is, as of this writing, no solid and provable evidence of the origins of either of the two main North Carolina Pendergrass groups prior to 1755, no matter what may be stated elsewhere. Except for Luke and Richard and their families, provable relationships and records began in North Carolina in the mid-1700s.
1. The “RICHARD GROUP”: He was first mentioned in Virginia, as an indentured servant, “free person of color, mulatto”, fought in the Revolution, purchased land in North Carolina, married a free black or mulatto woman, had children and left a nuncupative will. After leaving Virginia, he lived in Caswell and Person counties, North Carolina. Some of his descendants, including Richard Junior, moved into Clinton County, Illinois in the 1820s and became prominent citizens. A rare, possibly the last, direct male descendant of Richard’s was located after many years of searching, and YDNA testing indicated that Richard’s father’s haplogroup best matched men from Sub-Saharan Africa.
2. The “JOB/ORANGE COUNTY GROUP” The first Pendergrass/graft into the Chapel Hill, Orange County, North Carolina area was Robert, between 1752/5, whose apparent son or brother William, Sr, fathered several revolutionary veterans. William Jr and “Chatham” John remained in the general area, while David left for Chester County, South Carolina and Job took his family west to Burke County. Descendants of William Sr who have been tested as of this writing are not genetically related to other North Carolina Pendergrass groups, except Luke’s and Phillip’s, but do match male Prendergasts in County Mayo, Ireland.
3. The “LUKE PRENDERGAST GROUP” originated with the marriage of Luke to Rachel Simmons in Baltimore, Maryland in 1768. By 1777, the family had relocated to Orange County, North Carolina and lived there and in adjacent Caswell County as the boundaries changed. In 1819 he executed a detailed will in which he named all five of his children: Thomas A., George, John B(aker), Rachel (Harrison) and Elizabeth (Adams). Thomas A., George and Rachel remained in Caswell County for life , but John Baker Prendergast had left for Tennessee before his father’s will was written and after living some decades there, he moved west into Limestone County, Texas. Elizabeth’s identity was lost upon marriage to an unknown Adams. Luke’s family seems to have been somewhat more prosperous and more formally educated than the other North Carolina groups. He consistently signed his name in full as Luke Prendergast and many of his descendants have continued this spelling. His descendant’s YDNA matches the Orange County group and men in County Mayo, Ireland, but does not carry a specific mutation found in the “Job” subgroup.
4. The “SPENCER GROUP”. The first Pendergrass of record in the Sandy Creek area of Old Granville/Bute/Warren Counties in December 1755 was Spenser Spendergrass, accompanied or shortly joined by males, William and at least one John who became “Wake” John. Spencer and his family lived near Kittrell, North Carolina from 1763 to about 1782, and his children, James, Thornton, Joel, Spencer Jr, and Sarah then moved westward into Wilkes and Iredell counties before spreading into northern Alabama and points west. Spencer and William have close genetic and geographical ties to “Wake” John and are a solid genetic match to “Buncombe” John in the next generation.
5. The “WAKE JOHN GROUP”. In 1757, a John Pendergrass first appeared on tax lists as a head of household in the Sandy Creek area of Old Granville County in close proximity to William and Spencer, Sr. By 1771, three adult John Pendergrasses appeared on Bute county tax lists, and are discussed in detail herein. Wake John and wife Hannah Unknown remained in place as county lines changed around them (Granville/Bute/Warren) until 1786, then moved physically to Wake in 1789. John died there in 1794. Sons Solomon and
Jesse (who married Rachel Vigors) brought up families in Wake and Warren. Benjamin and family left for Wilkes County by 1816, then to Indiana. Moses with his wife Nancy Wheeler and their family left for Wythe County, Virginia in 1825, then moved to Lee County, Virginia in 1839. Moses’ older son Aaron eventually took his family to Brown County, Ohio where he died between the 1840 and 1850 censuses and his children’s identities were lost. Vincent with wife Patsy Ann Perkins remained in Lee County and brought up a large family there. Ransom abruptly left Wythe County, in 1833, leaving behind his child(ren) with Milly Perry and starting a large second family in Greene County, Alabama with the much younger Elizabeth Ridgeway. Moses’ and Nancy’s youngest son Cordy, a Methodist minister, married Manerva Thompson in Virginia and led his
viii
family into Owsley County, Kentucky. “Wake” John’s descendants have close genetic and geographical
ties to Spencer’s descendants and solid genetic matches to “Buncombe” John in the next generation.
6. The “BOB’S JOHN GROUP”. “Bob’s” John married Margaret, the daughter of “Wake” John’s neighbor John Pownall, and relocated with her between 1772 and 1779 to Lancaster County, South Carolina with known sons Nathaniel, John Jr, and Nimrod. Descendants settled later in Jackson County, Georgia and in the town of Pendergrass. “Bob”, the late Robert Allison Pendergrast Sr of Atlanta, was tested and genetically grouped with the Sandy Creek “Wake” John, Spencer, and “Buncombe” John descendants. Bob’s John’s descendants are meticulously outlined in Bob’s Book, discussed and cited herein.
7. The “BUNCOMBE JOHN GROUP”. “Buncombe” John first appeared of record as a young householder with two small sons in Buncombe County, North Carolina, in 1800, married to Elizabeth “Betsy” Oliver, daughter of Benjamin Oliver, a revolutionary pensioner. They and most of their family moved through what is now eastern Tennessee and then into Marshall County, Alabama, by about 1830 and spread west from there. His location prior to 1800 is not presently known, but his descendants are a solid genetic match to both the “Wake” John and Spencer groups, and Benjamin Oliver, his father-in-law, grew up and inherited land on Eaves Mill Creek in Franklin County, North Carolina that he personally travelled back there to sell in 1786 while residing in Lauren’s County, South Carolina. The Oliver land was located about four miles from the Sandy Creek Pendergrass group.
8. The “DARBY/SOUTH CAROLINA GROUP”. Darby was a well documented inhabitant of Charles Town, South Carolina, a prosperous tailor, merchant, and citizen whose descendants with wife Sarah Warburton[?] (Moore) were owners of large quantities of land and holders of large numbers of slaves in Sumter, Williamsburg and Clarendon Counties, South Carolina. They moved inland from the coast and were not associated with the descendants of Orange County David Pendergrass in Chester County, South Carolina, who came south from North Carolina. Darby’s descendants in Clarendon County were the slaveholders of the ancestors of singer Teddy Pendergrass. Genetic testing of a direct male descendant of Darby Pendergrass revealed no close connection to any other tested colonial Pendergrass group.
9. The “TEDDY GROUP”. This family originally lived enslaved in Clarendon County, South Carolina and evidently took the Pendergrass name from its slaveholders at the time of its emancipation, since there were no free black Pendergrasses there in census records before 1870. No genetic testing has as yet been done, though efforts continue to find a suitable descendant. Any possible biological connection to their Pendergrass slaveholders or other families has not been determined. Some recent descendants of Smart Pendergrass, the first known patriarch of this family, moved to New York and Philadelphia, including Teddy Pendergrass, the well known singer, but many of Smart’s descendants still remain in Clarendon.
10. The “GARRETT SR GROUP” was based in Bedford County, Pennsylvania where old Garrett was an Indian trader and had a tavern, inn, and general store known as Pendergass’s. He was the subject of a history-based but fictional novel “Bedford Village”, based on the memories and research of its author Hervey Allen. The real Garrett Sr and his wife Ann appear to have had numerous children but few have been identified with certainty: Garrett Jr, killed and scalped at Ford Harrod in 1777, Jesse who inherited Garrett Jr’s land, and a young daughter Gertrude, also killed and scalped within sight of a Pennsylvania Fort. Garrett was in Orange County, Virginia in the 1740s, removed to Frederick County, sold land in Stafford County in 1752 to George Washington’s half brother Lawrence, and was back in Bedford, Pennsylvania by the early 1760s. Based on solid traditional record evidence, the YDNA of an apparent direct male descendant of Garrett Jr was tested and did not match anyone else in the entire Pendergraft DNA project. [see Chapter 17 for discussion] This author suspects a possible non-paternity in this genetic line.
11. The “PHILLIP GROUP “ originated in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, in such close proximity to the Garrett Sr group that it has generally been assumed that he was one of Garrett Sr’s several sons. However, YDNA testing has put this theory in doubt unless there was a non-paternity in the Garrett group above [See Chapter 17 for discussion] Descendants of Phillip, especially through his son Edward, migrated to Ripley County, Indiana. A direct male descendant of Phillip closely matched the Job/Orange County Group, as well as a direct male descendant of Luke Prendergast, and men in County Mayo, Ireland.

Arms of Lord Maurice de Prendergast

Chapter 1, The Name and All Its Spellings
It is customary to begin genealogies with a history of the name, description of the arms granted to the alleged related peer, and an outline of the great deeds done by people who bear the name. In this work, that custom will only be followed in abbreviated form because, first, the information is readily available from many other sources, and second, those of us mentioned in this genealogy have no way of knowing, absent a future DNA match, whether we descend from the Lord of the Manor or from his stableboy, or from someone who married in and took the title, or just assumed the name of the estate or town.
Although after centuries of residence there, the Prendergast name is closely associated with Ireland, the earliest Prendergast of record into the British Isles was not Irish at all and did not begin his journey in that direction, but from the North of France toward the Battle of Hastings in the South of England in 1066.
Even today, the fact that all true Gaelic names, without exception, begin with Ó (grandson of) or Mac (son of) [indicating paternal lineage through the first name] is undeniable and continuing proof of the significance of family and kin for the Irish1, and even now hawkers of Irish wares bearing our name say, sometimes with a tinge of resentment, “Prendergast is not an Irish name at all. It’s a Norman name”, and they are at least partly correct.
It all began with Viking marauders, as so many things have done.
A. Phillippe de Prenhirlegast/Priondegras, Maurice and Historical Context
For centuries, plunderers from Scandinavia travelled the seas in lightweight dragon ships, at first as raiders and pillagers, then as traders and settlers. Early in the 10th century, one of these bands of raiders captured the town of Rouen on the River Seine and in a hundred years their descendants ruled a large tract of Northern France which had come to be called terra Normannorum,or land of men from the North, now known as Normandie2. The Normans were proud of their distinctive origins, reflected in the name of the province, but were assimilated into the French culture in terms of its manners, language, customs and Christian religion.3 When Robert, then the unmarried Duke of Normandie, died during a pilgrimage to Jerusalem early in 1035, his designated heir was his illegitimate son William, born at Falaise in 1027/8 to Herleva, daughter of a local tradesman.4 Because of his father’s death, William had a perilous childhood in the midst of chaos and civil war and became friends with Prince Edward of England, later known as Edward the Confessor, who had fled to Normandie when Viking invaders had taken over and ruled England from 1016 to 1042.5 While in exile in Normandie, the childless Edward promised William that if he, Edward, were restored to his kingship, William would succeed to the throne at his death. However, on his deathbed and under pressure from a powerful political family in England, Edward instead bestowed the throne on Harold Godwineson.6 Harold, who had been captured earlier by William while travelling in France, had also sworn loyalty and the throne to William as condition of his release, but on his return to England repudiated his oath as given under duress, and ascended to the throne himself.7.
Thus was the stage set for one of the most pivotal battles in history, and here enters the subject of our narrative, Philippe de Prenhirlegast or Priondegras, as the name is sometimes spelled, a knight who joined with William in his conquest of King Harold at the Battle of Hastings in 1066.8 [1-A, 1-B]
Those who are interested in the logistics and extreme bloodiness of the battle may read about it in great detail otherwhere, including the body count of volunteer men and unfortunate, conscripted, horses (brought along by boat), but on the list of those who boarded dragon ships to accompany William from Normandie to England to fight was one named, as best the ancient writing can be read, Preenhirlegast.9 Some sources spell it Prenliregast and state that the name was taken from a lost place called Brontegeest
in Flanders near Ghent10. Others say it traces back to the village of Prendergast, located near Havorford
West in Pembrokeshire, Wales.11 Logically, both are likely true, but it is documented that the name in its Flemish form was first introduced into England by the Knight who came to fight with William the Conquerer, and long tradition together with written records have him as the original progenitor of the Prendergasts of England, Wales, and Ireland.12 [1-C]
Archaeologia Cambrensis, Vol XLL, 3rd series, pp 67-68 has this to say: “The name Prendergast appears amongst the officers of William the Conquerer’s army, on the Roll of Battle Abbey, but the family was not Norman. The family of Prendergasts were Flemings. The suffix of “gast” means “host” and “Prendergast” would mean “Inhabitant or owner of the district of Pender” 13 The name on the Battle Abbey Roll was not precisely “Prendergast”, however, and the spelling confusion continues to this day.
John Bernard Burke, Esq., editor of Burke’s Peerage and Burke’s Landed Gentry, also compiled a book about those who came to England with William the Conqueror, called The Roll Of Battle Abbey, for the fortress where the names of King William’s men were inscribed. On page 89 of this 1848 work14, is written:
“PREENHIRLEGAST: This name is supposed to be synonymous with Prendergast, which family, soon after the Conquest, held possessions in the County of Pembroke, and at Akeld in Northumberland, which last estate its owners forfeited in 1327 by their adherence to the Scottish party. Maurice, Lord of Prendergast, near Pembroke, was one of the most eminent of Strongbow’s companions in the conquest of Ireland in 1170, [about one hundred years after his forebear Phillippe assisted in conquering England]
Although, by Henry the Second’s orders he returned to England in 1175, and carried thence the rebellious Robert, Earl of Essex, captive into Normandy, yet in 1177, he again landed in Ireland, and in that country his descendants have ever after remained. One branch held Ferns and Enniscorthy, with the Garteens and other large estates in Wexford, forfeited in 1641. The elder line held Newcastle Prendergast, in Tipperary, from the conquest of Ireland until the death of Thomas Prendergast at the beginning of the 17th century. He had married Eleanor, sister to Walter, eleventh Earl of Ormonde, and aunt of the celebrated Duke of Ormonde. His children were deprived of their vast possessions by Cromwell, which were restored to them by a Decree of Innocency in 1660, to be again lost in 1689. [1-D, 1-E]
The present Viscount Gort, who uses the additional surname of Prendergast, is the heir general of this ancient family, whilst the male still flourishes in the persons of the gallant Major General Sir Jeffrey Prendergast, and Thomas G. Prendergast, of Jamestown Park, in Tipperary, Esq.”
Of course the “flourishing” was back in 1848.
Thus, the Prendergast name was also a title and was not necessarily passed from father to son in an unbroken line. Men, such as Viscount Gort, who married into the family might assume the title or add the name, and in very early times, those who served or were subject to the family or lived in the town of Prendergast might have adopted it as well. Also, there were Prendergast families in several scattered locations in Wales, England and Ireland.
As can be seen from this, not every male with the surname Prendergast or its many spelling variants is necessarily a direct descendant of the original Preenhirlegast who accompanied William into England or even of the Maurice who accompanied Strongbow into Ireland, one of many reasons why DNA testing is increasingly important. Very few of us with forebears in America since the 1600s or 1700s can even be certain who our original Pendergrass immigrant ancestors actually were.
All the same, it would be remiss to mention Strongbow and Maurice without also mentioning (just in case) “The Song of Dermot and the Earl” (Chanson de Dermot et du comte), an anonymous Anglo-Norman verse chronicle in heroic couplets of iambic tetrameter written in the early 13th century.15 It tells of the arrival of Strongbow in Ireland in 1170 (the "earl" in the title), and of the subsequent arrival of Henry II of England. It survives only in a single manuscript which was re-discovered in the 17th century, [London, Lambeth Palace, MS Carew 596.] Translated into modern English at line 431, it introduces the Baron Maurice de Prendergast:

Cum nus recunte le chansun As the song tells us.
Those who wish to read the entire poem, including the rousing call to arms made by Maurice himself about a battle plan and the rewards later given to the invaders, can easily find it online. It is too lengthy to reproduce here, but the translated speech itself, recollected in verse though not likely spoken that way, at line 665, is well worth reading:
“Then spake a baron:—Maurice de Prendergast was his name—‘Lords Barons all, Let us pass through this valley promptly, So that we may be on the mountain, On the hard field, and on the open ground. For most of us are well armed, Bold vassals and combatants, While the traitors are quite naked, They wear neither hauberks nor breast-plates; Wherefore if we turn to hard ground They shall have no protection from death. We shall strike manfully, And each together And all united shall strike, Footmen and horse, Against the men of Ossory Who will be opposed to us. Because if they are overthrown We shall be for ever dreaded, And because there is no escaping Either life or death here.’ This was the first pitched battle That was fought, without doubt, Between the English barons And the Irish of Ossory. And the Irish with great impetuosity Followed the Englishmen.” 16
B. Spellings: Some 500 years after the baron Maurice helped invade Ireland, spelling confusion still reigned in the new world colonies, where so few people were literate and spelling was phonetic at best and fanciful at worst. The tax list makers and census takers, court clerks and clergymen wrote what they thought they heard, as best they could. Copyists made mistakes, as well. As a result, it is not uncommon to find the same person’s name spelled several ways on the same page, and in the various records at least dozens of different spellings have been found, including but certainly not limited to, Prenderghast, Pendergast, Spendergrass, Spenderdas, Pendergrays, Bendergross, Pindygrass, Pendegast, Lindergrass, Pendergraft, Pendergraph, Pendergrast, Prendegast, and the author’s personal favorite found in a Virginia court record - Powderass. In short, spellings of the name alone cannot be used to distinguish one group or person from another, and woe betide the researcher who tries to draw such inferences.
C. Current Variations: One often hears it said that “our family changed the spelling to....”, while the explanation of the change probably didn’t lie with the family itself at all but rather with a clerk or census taker who wrote it as he heard it and thought it should be written. Then, when literacy increased, and people began consulting old documents about their families for themselves, some who were not familiar with the old style looped double Ss misinterpreted it as “ft” or “st”. and other, more deliberate, spelling variations occurred as well. Many Orange County Job descendants adopted “Pendergraft” and the Georgia branch preferred “Pendergrast”. “Spendergrass”,apparently originally the result of elision, appears to have died out altogether. Prendergast has remained the preferred spelling in the British Isles, while in the United States today, the “Pendergrass” spelling is the most widely used. In this book, surnames will generally be presented as they are spelled in the original document, so that the same person may appear in the index under several variations of the name. [When looking for Pendergrass or its variants, don’t forget to look under “S”.]

The Blessing and Scourge of the Internet
A. The Advent of the Internet Created Unimagined Records Access, but with a Price - Once It’s on the Internet, Right or Wrong, It Is There to Stay.
As convenient as it is to be able to view clear and searchable images of census, military, and other records in one’s nightie in the wee hours without travelling to libraries or archives, easy internet access has also created pitfalls. Once a bit of information is placed online, it never goes away and it can be viewed, copied and repeated thousands of times almost overnight. Such repetition of information on multiple sites and online trees lends a sense of authority to information that may not deserve it.
While the websites themselves may be quite reputable, many make it far too easy to copy another person’s family information with a simple mouse click or two, without the necessity of any real research. Some send subscribing members “hints” about target individuals, which can be helpful but which can also easily be confused with other individuals of the same name. Other sites compile information in a “voting” format, so that the information which is posted most frequently is assumed to be true, regardless of its origin or accuracy, and there is no way to correct it. Thus, the thousands of trees copied from one another online re-post the same errors repeatedly and cause them to be taken as “fact”. Such errors are extremely difficult to eliminate, and proposed corrections are frequently ignored or resented. Other sites encourage users to discuss and form opinions as to the accuracy of the posted information as a committee, but without any means of posting document images or conflicting record evidence. The lone voice with real paper research and sources is drowned out by the overwhelming volume of internet postings. (This author was once taken to task most vigorously for “disrespecting” someone’s 8great-grandmother by daring to suggest that she never existed, which in fact she did not. Appeals to history, math, and reason were useless.)
Almost every genealogical website or publication cautions the researcher to verify its information independently from real sources, but in these times of instant gratification, many researchers unquestioningly, and often illogically, simply copy what is presented without verifying it. Thus, there are often people listed in online genealogies as dying before they were born, living for 140 years, residing in places that didn’t exist for another two hundred years, or marrying at age 8 and having children with someone who was all the way across the Atlantic ocean. Great care must be taken to apply logic and math to every fact that is added to any family tree, including those from this book, with the knowledge that others will view it and likely accept it without question solely because it is in print.
B. Six Thousand Wrong Trees and Counting.
As of the writing of this book, there are over 3,000 trees on Ancestry.com alone about the origins and descendants of “Wake” John Pendergrass and his apparent brother Spencer that are just plain wrong in their early generations, and at least that many about the origins and descendants of Robert Pendergrass of the Orange County, North Carolina group, because they are all largely based on Allen Pendergraft’s writings as relayed to the Latter Day Saints Library. Since they were previously thought to be the same genetic family, the same errors are repeated for both major North Carolina groups. Almost all these trees have begun with real research on a branch of the researcher’s own more recent relatives and then tied into an existing online tree based on that book, with no real research having been done by the poster of the tree about the early generations. Since this causes the same mistakes to be repeated in all of the thousands of trees about the two main North Carolina Pendergrass groups, as well as their subgroups, the inaccurate trees are easy to recognize, and this book strives to make them easy to correct.
Many of the errors have come from early attempts to wedge all people with the Pendergrass surname who came to any of the colonies into one large family, which DNA has now proven was not the case. Other mistakes have been based on the assumption that all people with the same name were the same person, that any unusual first name of a male child must have been his mother’s maiden name, or that acting as bondman for a wedding meant that one was necessarily related to the bride or groom. In some cases, fictional daughters have been created from the assumption that everyone mentioned in a court record with a Pendergrass must have been an in-law. These errors have been compounded by those who have embellished them by adding fictional first or middle names or dates or by confusing two or more individuals into one, in thousands of online trees.
C. Common Errors in Online Trees Based in Part on the Allen Pendergraft Book
Here is a list of errors found in nearly every “bad” Pendergrass/Pendergraft/Pendergrast Ancestry, My Heritage, FamilySearch, or other online tree:
1. Reference to “ancestors” of any North Carolina Pendergrass group at any time before 1752.
2. Pendergrass descent from Pocahontas or her father Powhatan, or Jane Poythress, or Jane Rolfe.
3. Michael Pendergrass, father of New Kent John, as father of anyone else or son of anyone else.
4. Michael Pendergrass’ wife Rebecca with any maiden name at all, but particularly Bolling.
5. Ransom Pendergrass anywhere near Wilkes County, North Carolina.
6. The fictional Miss (Mary) Ransom as wife of “Wake” John Pendergrass, with or without fictional
dates, or as daughter of John Ransome, or born in Kent, England, Wilkes County, or anywhere else.
7. Mary, widow of William Pendergrass of Bute/Franklin counties with maiden name “Raleigh” or dying in 1786.
8. Hannah “Grady “ as wife of “Wake” John, or any marriage for him in 1788 Philadelphia.
9. Bride of John Pendergrass of New Kent County as Anne rather than Jane Pleasants
10. Henrico County, Virginia, Jane Pleasants’ parents as Joseph and Jane instead of John and Dorothy.
11. Phillip Pendergrass, immigrant servant in Jamestown by 1643, as the ancestor of anybody.
12. Raleigh Pendergrass, possible son of “Wake” John, born 1760(?) and died 1761 rather than 1781.
13. Thomas Pendergrass as son of “Wake John.
14.. Vincent Pendergrass as son of “Wake” John.
15. Edy Pendergrass as daughter of “Wake” John.
14. Orange County William Pendergrass Jr, listed as son of Bute/Franklin County William.
15. James Pendergrass/Spendergrass born 1640 who died [again] in 1718.
16. “Henri” as maiden name of Mary, wife of any James Spendergrass, or of anyone.
17. Mary Pendergrass, Middlesex County, as same person as Mary (Spendergrass) of Richmond County
18. Titus or Atwater or Jobe as the maiden name of any Pendergrass wife, especially William Sr’s.
19. Any Pendergrass other than Robert, b. 1711, and William b. 1714, born, married or deceased in
St Stephen’s Parish register, Northumberland County, Virginia.
20. John Pendergrass who died in Northumberland County, Virginia in 1715 as definite father of anyone.
21. John Pendergrass who died in Northumberland County, Virginia in 1715 listed as born there.
22 John Pendergrass who died in Northumberland County, Virginia in 1715 as “New Kent County”
John or married to Anne/Jane Pleasants or to anyone other than widow Elizabeth Unknown.
23. Anyone named Robert “Raleigh” Pendergrass or “Robert” Raleigh Pendergrass.
24. Anyone named “James” Spencer Pendergrass
25. Anyone named “Joseph” Job Pendergrass
26. Anyone named Solomon “Salisbury” Pendergrass
27. Any male Pendergrass with two given names prior to the Revolution - regard with great suspicion.
28. Benjamin Pendergrass married to anyone besides Amy Massey.
29. Benjamin Pendergrass as father of Ransom Pendergrass
30. Job born in County Mayo, Ireland or “at sea” or anywhere else specific.
31. “Wake” John as revolutionary veteran instead of “Chatham” John.
32. Mention of the (fictional) “line back to Phillip”, or Phillip as father of or married to anyone.
33. Any British Isles person born in Laurel County, (or anywhere in) Kentucky in the 1600s.
34. The first name “Pleasant” as an indicator that someone was descended from the Pleasants family.
35 Elizabeth Manley as wife of Orange County, North Carolina, Robert Pendergrass.
36. Hannah “Ransome” born in Wilkes Co, North Carolina and married to “Wake” John Pendergrass
37. John “J” Pendergrass born 1735 Northumberland County and becoming “Wake” John.
38 “Buncombe” John Pendergrass born in Buncombe County
39 Darby Pendergrass of Charleston, South Carolina related to anyone in Richmond County, Virginia.
40. An unbroken line of three men named John Eli Pendergrass as grandfather, father and son.
41. A barely older Matthew Pendergrass as father of the Matthew who married Naomi Bradford.
42. “Chatham” John Pendergrass with any wife other than Mary/Molly Rigsbee
If a book or family tree contains any one of these errors, it will very likely contain most of the others and the reader can be certain it is not to be trusted.
Chapter 3
Allenisms and other Myths
A. Allen Pendergraft’s Book and the Damage It has Done
It seems arrogant and ungrateful to criticize another researcher’s well meant best effort, knowing with certainty that one’s own best effort is bound to be flawed as well. Nonetheless, there is a work extant which has done such damage to real family history research on the early (S)pendergrass families of Virginia and North and South Carolina that it must be addressed individually, especially since the present author bears some small secondhand responsibility for it.
My late father, James Paul Pendergrass, a direct male descendant of “Wake” John, was as honorable and straightforward as any man could be, and possessed a keen sense of curiosity, which he passed on to me. When I began doing research on the Pendergrass family in the 1960s, he immediately caught the fever and began researching as best he could from his Gruesome Gulch desert home outside Tucson, Arizona. From microfilm and through interviews with older family members, he concentrated his efforts mainly on documenting all the Cordy descendants through 1975, which he did with amazing accuracy. Since I lived in the East, it was easier for me to get to libraries and archives to work on the earlier Pendergrass generations, and of course there was as yet no internet. My research was from original records or images of original records, only, and in the early days before his death in 1980, I shared my research liberally with my father and vice versa. We also collaborated with the remarkable Robert Allison Pendergrast Sr of Atlanta, who in 1980 published an excellent book1 about his proven ancestors.
Meanwhile, not too far from Tucson in Sedona, Allen Pendergraft, a descendant of the Orange County “Job” group, was working on a book called Pendergrass of Virginia and the Carolinas, 1669-19192 and the two Arizona men met and became friends, sharing notes and ideas about their two different North Carolina family groups with the similar last name. My father and Allen, in their enthusiasm for the chase, were both Olympic caliber conclusion jumpers, and Allen in particular was given to some peculiarities of thought which will be discussed in detail later and will be mentioned time and again in other sections of this book. My father shared my notes and his own with Allen, who, intending only to be generous and thorough, included a section about our branch of the Pendergrass family in his own book, self-published in 1977 and reissued in 19823. Among other things now disproven by YDNA testing, the two men believed and published that their two separate Pendergrass families were one. This single, thin volume, having swiftly gone viral online when personal computers came into use, has caused more damage to real research about the early generations of thes two families than all American wars combined.
Unfortunately, Allen’s well-intentioned book is filled with speculation, assumption and hearsay about both family groups, and Allen himself had some unhelpful quirks, as well. For him and sometimes even my father, all people with the same name were the same people, no matter how far apart they lived in space or time, and for Allen, those whose written records survived must have been the only people who lived and must all have been related to one another lineally. Also, he had the problem of thinking that every relative’s unusual, (sometimes not even unusual), first name must have been the maiden name of some “maternal line”, even if the unusual first name occurred several generations later, and he often became obsessed with spelling variations and drew unwarranted conclusions from them in records written long before spelling had begun to be standardized. Many times, he included clerical errors and spelling variations as middle names of individuals who had no middle names, and he completely ignored the fact that among British Isles men prior to about 1800, middle names were extremely rare. In fact, Allen stated on page 54 of his 1977 book that “surnames from maternal lines were used as middle names throughout the South soon after 1700"4, which was simply not true for another hundred years. Aided and abetted by my father, this well-meaning gentleman published his book, which I did not see until it was already in print and distributed to libraries. It was then abstracted over my vigorous objection by distant family members (who shall remain nameless) and the “information” deposited with the LDS library. When the internet phenomenon occurred, the same “information”, by then totally muddled and augmented with further assumption, speculation, and error added by others who had done no research of their own, was posted on various online public trees. The fictional “line back to Phillip” has been copied without verification so many times that, sadly, it now appears to the beginning researcher to be true. Efforts to correct it are overwhelmed by the vast number of trees to which it has been copied without any research and by the fact that many people seem to prefer to have an online family tree which reaches unrealistically far back in time and contains as many (preferably famous) people as possible, even if those people are not real or not related.
In this work, the “lines” do not go back so far, there are not as many people, and only a handful were almost famous, but each person and relationship in these pages can be verified from a real piece of paper that can be reviewed by anyone willing to take the trouble. It may seem that this author, not having as many individuals included and not being able to prove ancestors as far back in time, may not have done as extensive or detailed research as previous researchers, but the reverse is actually true. Years of extra time and energy have been devoted to checking all published and online assumptions and speculations for credibility and much extra effort has been expended in explaining from real documents what the verifiable facts actually were.
For example, Allen Pendergraft’s book5 says:
“The first Prendergast of record in what is now the United States was Philip, mentioned in the Virginia Land Grants of October 16, 1643, July 8, 1647, and March 9, 1655 (Nugent, CAVALIERS AND PIONEERS6). He may be the same as Philip Prendergast, Gentleman, of the 1659 Irish census whose home was Killogenedy Parish, County Clare. Neighbors of Philip in 1659 are Edmond, Garrett and Geoffrey de Prendergast.” 7
First, Phillip was not given a land grant at all. It was a Captain John Bishopp who was given a land grant for importing him and several other servants under the headrights system, and Phillip did not have any family with him. Mere recopying or reassignment of ownership of the headsright in later years did not indicate that the rights were granted more than once and in any event they didn’t go to Phillip. Second, since Phillip could not afford to pay his own passage to Virginia and was there by 1643, he could not also have been Phillip Prendergast, Gentleman, of the 1659 Irish census or the father of anyone born in England after 1642, as has been postulated elsewhere8. The headright for Capt Bishopp’s transportation of Phillip was sold on to James Warradine in 16479 and again to Richard Hamlet in 165510. In each case, other names from Capt Bishopp’s original list were also included with Phillip’s, showing that there was only one Phillip, transported only one time.
Here is what that land grant actually says: [3-A]
1643 James City. Mr. John Bishopp receives 89 acres in James City County Oct 16, upon the head of David Jones Cr. ENE from Mr. Hoes uppermost plantation for the transportation of 18 persons: Phillip Pendergast, Robert Andrew, Tho. Hanscome, Eliza Sidney, Symon Haselton, Joyce Browne, Wm. Andrews, Ralph Lester, Jeffrey Denchfield, Richard Smith, Tho. Warner, Adrian Foord, Robert Taylor, Symon Symonds, John Bishopp his wife. [Note: Renewed in the name of Capt. Thos. Swann 8 Apr 1650.]11
Allen goes on:
“According to [a] descendant of Job Pendergrass, our people lost an inheritance in the old country because the spelling of their name was changed after they came to America.”12
That something so patently absurd as losing land over spelling, which had yet to be standardized, would even be printed, and lapses in logic like the attempt to have a poor servant Phillip in two places an ocean apart and a “gentleman” at the same time, are only a few of the many such mistakes in prior works which dictated that this book must be written.
It is indeed painful to read a passage such as this one found on Page 54 of Allen’s 1977 book:
“Darby , (unplaced, b 1727-37) was a tailor when he arrived in Charleston [South Carolina] , suggesting
he may have been a son of James 3 Pendergrass, tailor. b. Feb 15, 1692 Northfarnham Parish, Richmond
County Va d after August 4, 1751, Richmond Co deed. See page 1. James had son James 4 who was a ward of John Brown in Richmond Co Va in 1731....John 3 of Richmond Co, Va., son of James 2 probably also had a son James and a daughter Mary, wards of Robert Tomlin in 1733. An apparent brother of James 3 and John 3 was Edward 3 of Westmoreland Co, Va, ....”13
In truth, Darby, a prosperous tailor, born sometime around 1720, first appeared in Charles Town on the eastern coast of South Carolina and was never mentioned anywhere near the Northern Neck of Virginia. Continuous records place him firmly in Charlestown, South Carolina until his death and probate. James [the Tailor], of Richmond Co. Virginia, verified son of John Spendergrass and Elizabeth Cribin, was not born until 1729 and therefore could not have been Darby’s father. [see Chapter 14, infra]
Allen’s first two Jameses, 1 and 2, were actually the same person - the James Spendergrass [herein called Sr] who actually died (just the once) in Richmond County in late 1704 and was married to Mary Unknown (not Henri). Allen’s James 3 was actually James [Jr], orphaned minor son of the James [Sr] who died in 1704, and John 3 was actually just plain John, the other orphaned son of James [Sr] and Mary Unknown. James [Jr] was in fact born in 169214 but he was not the tailor. He was apprenticed briefly to his brother-in-law Anthony Gilbert as a cordwayner (shoemaker), married Rebecca Unknown no later than 1720 but probably earlier, had two daughters of record, Winnefred born 172115 and Eleanor born 172916, and likely other children, but no extant birth record of one named James. John, orphan son of James [Sr] is the Spendergrass male who bought the land on Totuskey Creek in 172717 and married Elizabeth Cribin in 172818. It was their son James [the Tailor], born 1729, grandson of James [Sr] and nephew to James [Jr] who inherited the Totuskey Creek land as a toddler when his father John died in 173319, [4-G] and who sold it when he came of age in 1751, reserving a life estate in her dower third to his mother Elizabeth Cribin (Spendergrass) (Medford), who was still living at the time of the sale.20
There is no doubt that John, the son of James [Sr] had a son James and a daughter Mary, for he named them in his 1733 will, leaving to his four year old son James (who was later bound out to Colo. Landon Carter to become a tailor) [4-I] the very land that James [the Tailor] sold in 1751. Robert Tomlin was never a “guardian” of John’s children, but was designated as a “friend”, asked only to step in on the children’s behalf in the event of abuse by a stepfather21. It is unclear when Elizabeth remarried, since she was listed on a tax list in 1744 as Eliz Spendergrass22 but that may have been a carryover of her name from a previous list. It is certain from later records23 that Elizabeth did marry a Medford neighbor at some point before 1741 and that Robert Tomlin did honor John’s wish that he step in to protect the children’s interests24 [c.f.Chapter 4F]
In 1745, John Brown was appointed guardian25, (in the attorney ad litem sense, not in the physical sense), of the minor James who was still apprenticed to Landon Carter to learn to be a tailor. James was later represented again in court by John Brown, his next friend, in an unspecified civil matter involving the estate of Henry Medford, dec’d, who shared a property line with the land about which James [the Tailor] was still too young to litigate in his own right.26 Elizabeth was still alive and living on or near the Totuskey Creek land when her son James [the Tailor ] sold it in 1751,27 and it is not known when she died.
Edward Pendegras [sic] “of Westmoreland” was an immigrant servant in Middlesex County who was adjudged by the court there to have been born somewhere in about 1688 and was said to have been an orphan, so not a son or brother of anyone in Richmond County. He was indentured to John Lohie in Middlesex in 1701.28 [4-A] Whether he was the same person whose widow fled with his estate and her new husband to Westmoreland County is discussed in detail in Chapter 4G, Middlesex County, herein.
To sum up, then, contrary to what is published elsewhere and/or posted online, the actual paper records show that James Spendergrass [Sr], the first James into Richmond County who arrived there by 169729, and his wife Mary Unknown had three, and only three, provable children of record at his death in 1704: a real married daughter Elinor born no later than about 1688, who with her husband Anthony Gilbert was the original administratrix of James [Sr]’s estate before Anthony absconded with it30, and two minor sons, James [Jr] born 1692 and John born 1697. James [Jr] married Rebecca Unknown no later than (likely earlier than) 1720, and had daughters of record Winnefred born 1721 and Eleanor born 1729 and other possible children to be discussed below. John, son of James [Sr], married Elizabeth Cribin in 1728 and had only two children before he died in 1733: James born about 1729, who was apprenticed to Colonel Landon Carter as a tailor, inherited his father John’s land and sold it in 1751, and Mary born about 1731, who was later found by the court to be a poor girl who needed to be bound out31, though no record of the binding out has been found. It is not known for certain when or where James [Jr] died, though detailed discussion of him follows in Chapter 4, Section F, infra.
Other (fictional) daughters of any Richmond County Spendergrass and the (fictional) maiden name “Henri”, created from nothing at all in other works, can safely be ignored.
To date, despite tantalizing hints and circumstantial evidence, there is no positive proof of any link between the Richmond County (S)pendergrass family and any North Carolina Pendergrass family. A detailed history of the Richmond County Spendergrass family is given in Chapter 4 and further discussion of possible connections in Chapter 6.
Although there were Pendergrasses in Virginia even earlier, another clear example of Allen’s tendency to speculate and even to publish a “variance from the facts”, is the February, 1709 Henrico County, Virginia Curles Meeting House marriage record of some John Pendergras and a Jane Pleasants. Transcribed, the entire actual record, original spelling intact, reads:
“John Pendergras the sone of Michale Pendergras and Rebecca : he being of New Kent County and Christian; the daughter of John Pleasants and Dorothy, Jane of the Henrico county did publish their marriage at a meeting of men and women friends at the hose [sic] of her father in the county aforesd on the twelfth day of the Eleventh month last past. And coming before the meeting the second time in her father’s howse they did publish their marriage againe on the Ninth day of this instant month and were married in the howse of her father on the Ninth day of the Twelft month in the yeare 1709.” 32
Allen began by getting the names of the bride and both her parents wrong, calling the bride Anne instead of Jane and her parents Joseph Pleasants and Jane Larcome, instead of John and Dorothy [Cary?] Pleasants33, This newlywed couple is not found in any of the very few remaining New Kent County or Henrico County records, and it is not known whether they survived to have children.
“New Kent County” John, son of Michael, groom of Jane Pleasants in 1709, cannot have been the same person as “Northumberland County”John, as Allen assumed, since he could not have been living in two distant counties at once, and Northumberland County John was litigating continuously there from 1699 to his death in 1715. Also, Northumberland John’s widow was named Elizabeth34.[3-C]
In their defense, Allen and my father were handicapped by lack of in-depth information, so readily accessible today in so many forms, and, more importantly, there are many instances in which even Allen said “perhaps” and others have posted the information online as fact with their own embellishments, which is hardly Allen’s fault. Even so, and with all the respect due to his many years of dedication and research, the bountiful errors in that book must be addressed and that thankless task has fallen to this author by default.
B. Alas, Pocahontas Isn’t Ours, and Other Troubles
Allen then went on to say:
“If the family tradition is true that we descend from Pocahontas, then Michael may have married into the Bolling family which claims descent from Thomas Rolfe.” 35 This comment is followed by several paragraphs about the Bollings and Thomas Rolfe as though Michael actually had married a Bolling.
From this single fanciful comment there have sprung several online family trees which list poor Rebecca, whose maiden name was never given and is still unknown, as definitely having been a Bolling and tracing her back as a descendant of Jane Poythress and Thomas Rolfe. There is even an entire web site devoted to the Pendergrass family’s descent from Matoaka’s father Powhatan, although there is not a glimmer of truth in the idea that any Pendergrass line descends from Pocahontas through the “red” Bollings. Matoaka, best known by her nickname Pocahontas, died nearly a century earlier than this Henrico Quaker marriage. Real Pocahontas descendants are relatively few and very well documented. No Pendergrass has married one from 1607 through at least the 1990s36
Even if Rebecca Unknown's maiden name had been given, which it wasn't, and even if it had been Bolling, which there is no indication it was, let us apply some math and logic to the historic facts. Pocahontas had one son, Thomas Rolfe, born January 1615, who had one child, Jane Rolfe, born 1650 who married Col. Robert Bolling (who also later married Anne Stith creating the "white" Bollings.) The only child of Jane Rolfe and Robert Bolling was Col John Fairfax Bolling born 1676 who married Mary Kennon on December 29th,1697. Their descendants are the only “red” Bollings - blood descendants of Pocahontas - and their first child, Robert Jr, was not born until 1700.37 There was no Rebecca and no one named Pendergrass.38 No child born in 1700 or later could possibly have had a child old enough to marry in 1709 Henrico County, so there cannot have been a Rebecca "Bolling", Pocahontas descendant, who was born in time to be the mother of the New Kent John Pendergrass who married in 1709.
Alas, this lovely “family tradition” is only that - a wishful legend, heroic and romantic, but untrue.
Allen then made the mental leap that the John Pendergrass who died in 1715 in Northumberland County, up on the Northern Neck of Virginia, was the same John Pendergrass, son of Michael and Rebecca, who married Jane (not Anne) Pleasants in 1709 Henrico County39, despite the fact that John Pendergrass, late of Northumberland County, deceased, left a widow named Elizabeth, not Jane.3B More importantly, Northumberland John was litigating regularly in Northumberland County Court from at least 1699 to his death in 1715 and cannot have been the same person as the John Pendergrass “of New Kent County” who wed Jane Pleasants down in Henrico in 1709.
He went on to make further unwarranted assumptions that the Robert (born 1711) and William (born 1714) Pendergrass registered in St. Stephens’ Parish register40 [3-B] must have been the children of John Pendergrass of New Kent/Henrico who must have moved to Northumberland and had those two sons, because he was the “only adult male Pendergrass in the area”.41 This type of assumption - that only those people who appeared in public records and for whom those records have survived - is at the core of many of Allen’s mistakes, because most people were never in the records, and most records did not survive. Not only was there an adult Peter Pendergrass involved in litigation in Northumberland County at the time,42 but there may well have been other adult Pendergrass men who did not appear in public records, or for whom the records, such as church, court, tax or titheables lists, did not survive.
In his book, Allen didn’t seem to know that Northumberland John’s widow was named Elizabeth instead of the Jane he called Anne, and he created a family relationship and an impossible daughter (if married in 1709, there was no time for John Pendergrass of New Kent to have had a married child by 1715) through one of his other worst assumptions - that all people mentioned in a record together must in some way be related, “probably through a maternal line” or marriage. Thus, he told us that Henry Hutson was appointed John’s administrator because he must have married one of John’s (fictional) daughters,43 when, had he read the actual court record, he’d have seen that in keeping with common custom, Henry Hutson was appointed John’s administrator because he was John’s greatest creditor.44, [3-C]
These two baby Pendergrass boys were clearly brothers since their births were recorded some time after the fact in reverse order on the same day by the same hand in the Northumberland County Saint Stephen’s Parish Register [3-B] but neither parent is listed for either of them (the only births in the register not listing at least one parent or slaveholder.) Allen went on to assume that they were the same William and Robert who came into two different counties of North Carolina some forty years later with no documentation of any kind during those intervening decades. He may have been correct, or not, but if he was, then their families have some explaining to do, because their descendants’ YDNA does not match at all. [see Chapter 17, infra]
Also, contrary to online postings based loosely on Allen’s assumptions about these baby boys, they are the only two Pendergrasses listed in the entire, lengthy, St. Stephen’s Parish register as born, married or deceased. Even the demise of the John who was most sincerely dead in Northumberland County probate court records in 1715 is not mentioned in the register, so all online references to other Pendergrasses born, married, or deceased in Northumberland County are entirely unsubstantiated.
Allen’s book had other early (S)pendergrass men zipping back and forth across the ocean when most had to work as servants for four to six years to pay their passage the first time, and bringing back fictional Irish wives while also marrying Native American women. He continually made up maiden names for wives, wrote that certain minors must have already lost their mothers because they were referred to as orphans at their father’s death, had one of the Jameses dying twice and another selling land he didn’t own.45 In short, and with all respect due his dedication to the cause, he had the Richmond County Spendergrass family so completely mangled that the reader will have to turn to those sections of this book or go to the archives in person to see what really happened.
Some other “Allenisms”, as I call them, can be found not only in Allen’s book itself but throughout thousands of online trees taken from it, and one of the most personally irritating is an entirely fictional “first” wife created by Allen and my overly-enthusiastic late father through their assumption that all those of the same name were the same person. “Wake” John Pendergrass, who came into North Carolina in about 1755 and died in Wake County in 1794, was married to a Hannah Unknown at the time of his death, according to his will.46 There is no indication that she was not his only wife and the mother of all his five known or apparent children, as their last child was born about 1785. Regrettably, I shared with my father, who shared it with Allen, that I had stumbled upon a coincidental marriage record for some John Pendergrass and a Hannah Grady [Gradon?] who had tied the knot in April 1788 at Gloria Dei (Old Swede’s) Church several states away in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.47 With no explanation as to why or how the aging John Pendergrass of Wake County, North Carolina, already married and with children born as early as 1760, had managed to travel there, these good gentlemen assumed and published on no authority whatsoever that the Pennsylvania marriage to Hannah Grady, coming as late as it did, must therefore have been a second marriage for the same John who died in Wake. This nonsense created an opening for the rôle of “first” wife, so it was supposed that since John (long after his death) had a grandson named Ransom (as well as grandsons named Raleigh, Bailey, Wright, Moses, Vincent, Aaron and others) that “perhaps John’s first wife was a Ransom ”. 48
From this one completely unsupported comment have come myriad online trees containing a newly imagined first name, (Mary) and birth and death dates for the entirely fictional Miss Ransom in counties that didn’t yet exist at the time of her fictional birth, and giving this non-existent woman credit for all of poor Hannah’s children (and some extras, as well !). First, with such common first names, it is illogical to assume that there was not more than one John/Hannah Pendergrass association in the colonies in the 1700s - at least three are documented. Second, there was a John Pendergrass, laborer, listed as living some 20 blocks from the Old Swede’s Church in the Pennsylvania Septennial census7M in late 179349 while “Wake” John was busy in North Carolina getting ready to die in the Spring of 179450. While there is no proof that 1793 Philadelphia John Pendergrass was the same John who married Hannah Grady[Gradon] in 1788 Philadelphia, surely he is a likelier candidate to be that groom than a relatively poor, elderly, already married man several states away in North Carolina. Moreover, Pennsylvania Hannah has now been identified as a Hannah Gradon and has been claimed by a documented John Pendergrass family there. Thus, it seems only logical to assassinate the fictional Miss Ransom for now and forever, so if the reader has her in an online or other tree, please take a moment right now to delete her from it.
As to why one of “Wake” John’s grandsons was named Ransom, there were in fact so many sons in so many families in the Sandy Creek area of North Carolina apparently first-named after the prominent Ransom family around 1800 that it leads one to wonder why this was so. In any case, the Ransoms were wealthy politicians, judges, and sheriffs [in Franklin Co. court minutes:”Wm Ransom, [sheriff], unfortunately had his right ear bit off on the night of December 21st,1790.”]51 and not likely to have intermarried with the relatively poor and uniformly illiterate Pendergrasses of the day.
Other Allenisms, apparently not opposed by my late father, were identifying Orange County William Pendergrass Jr for no known reason as son of the William over in Bute, and Thomas Pendergrass who married Nancy Copes in 1786 as son of Bute/Franklin County William or Wake County John Pendergrass instead of Orange County William or someone else in that county52. William Sr of Orange County deeded land to William Jr of Orange County, on January 25, 1809, which deed made it abundantly clear that William Jr was William Sr’s son, and both are plainly listed as “of Orange County”53. Thomas was assumed to be an extra son of Wake John or William only because he was married in Wake County and had a few acres of land there. However, by law, one married in the county of the bride’s residence, and Wake County shared its western border with Orange. Wake John’s family, after it moved from Warren to Wake in 1789, three years after Thomas’ marriage, resided in the extreme northeastern corner of the county across Moccasin Creek from Dunn District of Franklin County, and there was no contemporaneous Thomas near Wake John on any of the tax lists or other records there or in the counties where he previously lived. A study of the references to Thomas shows that after his marriage to Nancy Copes, he briefly resided just inside the western border of Wake County, only a stone’s throw from his Orange County relatives, and was listed on other records in Orange, (including reference to his second “marriage” to Miley Coulter) which place him firmly in the Orange County group.54
There is no indication at all in Old Granville/Bute/Warren or Franklin County records of more than the one William Pendergrass, husband of Mary Unknown (not Raleigh) who came into the Sandy Creek area of Old Granville with Spencer and some John in about 1755 and died there no later than 1786, although his estate was not administered until September 178955. The deed from Orange County William Sr to Orange County William Jr verifies their father/son relationship, so why an extra William Jr was created in another county when the Orange County land and pension records are so clear remains a mystery, especially since in Allen’s 1977 book, it is stated on page 49 that Thomas of Mercer County, Kentucky was the only heir of a “third” William56, whose land grant he endorsed, and there are even Orange County records cited for Thomas in court minutes and his second father-in-law’s will.57
Another major flight of fancy in which “Wake” John acquired an online fictional child was the assumption, again based only on a similarity of first names in later generations, that a Vincent Pendergrass of Frederick County, Virginia, who was never in any record anywhere in North Carolina must have been a son of Wake John because Wake John had a grandson with the first name Vincent born some twenty years after his death. There is no evidence at all that these two Vincents were in any way related, and the elder Vincent, whose records58 began after all the main Pendergrass groups had been in North Carolina for decades, remained on the far northern tip of Virginia, while Vincent the grandson of Wake John was born in Wake County, North Carolina, and moved to the extreme southwestern counties of Virginia with his parents, Moses and Nancy [Wheeler] Pendergrass in 1825.[see Chapter 7]
Many online trees also list revolutionary Raleigh Pendergrass as Wake John’s son, but have him fighting in the revolution at one year of age; born 1760, died 1761. There really was a Raleigh [Rawleigh, Rainleigh] Pendergrass who was mentioned five times in revolutionary records - twice on muster rolls, twice as having received posthumous pay vouchers cashed by someone else (not uncommon), and once as having had a land grant issued to his unnamed heirs, who later sold it off in small pieces, still unnamed. Raleigh himself enlisted from Duplin County in 1781 and died of the flux a few months later during the War.59 Revolutionary Raleigh was listed in the general, statewide muster roll of the continental line60, with no mention of his origin, and not listed with any other Pendergrasses or familiar neighbors. He died apparently unmarried and intestate. A Rawley Pendergrass was mentioned in 1780 carrying a survey chain61 very near the “Wake” John group on Sandy Creek but never appeared on a tax list or other record found there. “Wake” John later had many male descendants with the first name “Raleigh” [see Chapter 7 for a discussion of Raleigh’s possible paternity]
Athough “Wake” John’s proven older sons were of an age to have waged war in the Revolution, the muster rolls indicate that they did not, and neither did “Wake” John himself. In fact, “Wake” John’s listing in the DAR patriot’s index is an error caused by his having been confused with “Chatham” John, using Chatham John’s birth year and service record but Wake John’s widow Hannah and 1794 death year.62
At this time, other than the first name Raleigh, there is no definite connection between Duplin County Revolutionary Raleigh and any of the North Carolina Pendergrass groups, and the same is true of Frederick County, Virginia, Vincent, who according to the Virginia records never put a toe over the North Carolina state line.
Somehow, also, Allen and my father confused Wake John’s grandson Raleigh (son of Benjamin) with Wake John’s grandson Ransom, (son of Moses) and published that Ransom was in 1820 and 1830
census records in Wilkes County63 with Benjamin after Benjamin moved there from Wake in about 1815. A thorough search of Wilkes County tax lists, court records, deeds, and state censuses from the formation of the County in 1777 to after 1850 shows no trace of Ransom there, because he wasn’t. His first cousin Raleigh was there with Raleigh’s father Benjamin before 1820, and it was he who was in those census and other records. Ransom was in Wake County from birth until 1825/6 when he went with his new Perry bride [Milly] and his parents, Moses and Nancy [Wheeler] to Wythe County, Virginia. A second grandson of “Wake” John also named Raleigh (son of Jesse) stayed in the Sandy Creek area. From John’s two (probably three) grandsons named Raleigh arose the assumptions that William’s widow Mary must have had the maiden name Raleigh and that revolutionary Raleigh must have been Wake John’s son, a triply dangerous assumption since William and Mary’s precise relationship to “Wake” John is still unclear.
Another tempting but still unsafe assumption made in other writings and online about the Sandy Creek group which has at least some faint evidence in its favor is that William Pendergrass and Mary Unknown were the parents of “Wake” John and “Old” Spencer. Their close but undefined relationship is discussed in depth in Chapter 6, The Unsolved Mysteries.
One major error in Allen’s book confuses Moses and Jesse, sons of “Wake” John, with Moses and Jesse, sons of Orange County Job.64 Their ages, wives and children were all different, but Allen’s book nonetheless has Moses and Jesse hopping back and forth from Wake County all the way west to Burke County and then back again, which of course did not occur. The reason for the error is that Allen and my father Paul were working only from census lists and had little access to other records. While Job’s sons Moses and Jesse were in Burke County census records in 1820, John’s son Moses did not appear in the Wake county 1820 census only because the Wake and some surrounding county census records for 1810 and 1820 are missing. John’s son Jesse was in Franklin in 1790 and the part of Warren which was briefly Granville in 1810. Both Moses and Jesse, sons of “Wake” John, however, continuously appeared on Sandy Creek area tax lists and other records during those years, while Job’s sons Moses and Jesse were in records of Burke County far to the West.
At the time of their research in the 1970s, Allen and my father were convinced that the two family groups, Orange County “Job group” and Granville/Bute/Warren/Franklin”Wake John” or “Sandy Creek” group, sprang from the loins of the two baby brothers in Northumberland County and they entangled the two families in Allen’s book without explaining the forty year gap in the records between their births and their appearances in different counties of North Carolina. Why Northumberland Robert was chosen instead of one of several other Roberts in Virginia at the same time and about the same age, or why the two alleged brothers would settle in different areas of the same state, never to interact again, they did not explain. Why William Jr was not placed in Orange County with his father William Sr when the records are so clear, is also unexplained.
Now that YDNA testing is available, results of samples from men in the former group who descend through Robert’s apparent son or brother William, Sr absolutely do not match descendants of the “Wake” John group. Whether the two genetic groups might have diverged through a “non-paternity” event between 1711 and the present is unknown, but if so, it occurred before 1730. A further discussion of YDNA testing and results will follow in Chapter 17, The YDNA Project.
Between them, Allen and my father haphazardly killed off and created or confused numerous wives based on wrong assumptions about dates and first names as maiden names, creating for example a “first” wife for “Chatham” John he probably never had time to have65, and replacing Amy Massey, only wife of Benjamin Pendergrass, with a “second” Bailey wife solely because Benjamin had a son with the first name Bailey66. A close look at the various records shows that since Bailey was born years before his sister Massey Pendergrass, granddaughter of Amy’s father, Hezekiah Massey, the extermination of poor Amy solely because of her son’s first name was unwarranted. Many instances of this type of literary injustice will be examined in these pages and some of the verbally slain women resurrected to their proper places.
Since it was thought at the time of the publication of Allen’s book that both major Caucasian North Carolina family groups were descended from the two Northumberland County, Virginia, baby brothers, the many glaring errors about the early origins of those brothers have been repeated countless times in writings and online sites about both separate North Carolina groups and several subgroups, making those errors doubly difficult to eradicate. In that eradication effort, the aid of all serious researchers is requested.
C. Edith Bolling (Galt) (Wilson)
Also only because of the Bolling name, my father and his family were often heard to say that we were related in some close way to the widow Edith Bolling (Galt), who married President Woodrow Wilson in 1915. Although Obediah C. Bolling’s daughter Mattie did elope with our Daniel Boone Carter Pendergrass in 1879, if there is any relationship at all to Edith Bolling, it is buried deep in time and is certainly not a close one. A review of any biography of Edith Bolling reveals no Pendergrass connections. She did claim to be descended from Pocahontas, as do many people of the Bolling name, true or not.
D. John Hunt Morgan and Cherokee Princesses.
In oral interviews, one or two older Pendergrass ladies have maintained that Manerva Thompson, who married the Methodist minister Cordy Pendergrass in Virginia and went with him into Kentucky with their many children to forge a new life and found a new church, was a cousin of some sort to John Hunt Morgan of Civil War Raiders fame (or infamy), but no one seemed to know the exact relationship. Years of research have so far failed to turn up any connection or even any geographical proximity, but as the exact nature of the relationship was never given, it also cannot be disproven.
No family seems to be immune to these sorts of legends, which take us from the mundane and connect us to those more famous. In my mother’s family, there was firm insistence that, because someone with the maiden name of Poe married into the family, we are “direct descendants of Edgar Allen Poe”, who had no descendants at all. There is a genuine descendant of Daniel and Rebecca Boone in my mother’s family, but only by marriage, and, in the Pendergrass family, only the Daniel Boone name.
Among the most often repeated legends in many colonial families is that of “two brothers” or “three brothers” who came to this country early and married Indian women, or that someone’s great-grandmother was a “full-blooded Cherokee”. These legends are rarely true and are usually easy to disprove, especially in these days of genetic testing. In this book, there are so far only two verified Native Americans, 1) a Micajah Scott whose son William Thomas Scott, half Cherokee and born in White County, Tennessee, married Ida May Florence Pendergrass, daughter of Benjamin Franklin Pendergrass and Harriet Sutherland, in 1893 Crawford County, Arkansas, and 2)Angelique Jérôme dit St Mathe, Chippewah/Ojibwe who married “Jolly Joe” Rolette in Dakota Territory in 1846. Additionally, there is some persuasive evidence of Cherokee and mixed ancestry in some distant descendants of David Pendergrass, revolutionary veteran, who went from Orange County, North Carolina to Chester County, South Carolina. [see Chapter 12, infra]
DNA testing of the current author and several close relatives in hope of finding Native American ancestry has as yet turned up no trace of it.
E Maximilian, Emperor of México.
Sometimes family legends are hard to stamp out even when they completely defy logic.
Descendants of George Washington Pendergrass Sr and his second wife Alma Tempest McDonald (the second litter) have long been told that their ancestor Juan Maximiliano D’Arze, a Spanish soldier in Louisiana, or, alternatively, his son Juan Ignacio Maximiliano, was an illegitimate son of Maximillian of Austria, Emperor of México. Among other problems with this scenario is the fact that Juan Maximiliano D’Arze was born in Spain sometime around 1750 and his son, Juan Ignacio Maximiliano was born in 1782 in Louisiana67, making the original Juan Maximiliano D’Arze born some eighty years before his alleged royal father, and his documented son, Juan Ignacio Maximiliano, born at least fifty years before him.
The Emperor Ferdinand Maximillian Joseph was the only monarch of the Second Mexican Empire (whose reign there lasted only three years).68 Maximillian was his Christian name, not a family name that would have been passed down, even if European royals had had family names. He was of the House of Agustín de Iturbide, and was born July 6, 1832, at Schönbrunn Palace, Vienna, and married Charlotte of Belgium in 1857.69 They had no natural children, though they adopted two children of relatives.70 After a distinguished career in the Austrian Navy, he accepted an ill-fated offer by Napoleon III of France to rule México, which he did until he was captured by Mexican Republican forces, spurned the opportunity to escape disguised as a woman because he refused the indignity of shaving his beard, and died bravely when executed by firing squad on June 19, 1867, in Santiago de Querétaro, México.71 His wife Charlotte/Carlota had returned to Europe begging desperately for military assistance and went mad after his execution.72 He was not quite 35 at the time of his death and so far as is known was never in his life near Fort Natchitoches, Louisiana, where Juan Maximiliano D’Arze had been born fifty years before him.
All the same, the following outrageously fanciful narrative, taking a bizarre angle on the royal connection, was written by Mrs Paul Strickland for a local compendium of such narratives,73 later published in all seriousness by the Daughters of the Republic of Texas and even reprinted in a local Texas newspaper.
Daughters of the Republic of Texas ,Volume 1, p 185:
“JOHN MAXIMILLIAN (1756-1840) came to America in 1795 and made his home with Juan Ignacio Pifermo at Lobanillo Hacienda in Sabine County [Texas] . He was a native of Austria but had been
visiting his sister Marie Antoinette, at Versailles, so came from France. He married Pifermo’s daughter,
Marie Louisa Pifermo. Their son John Maximillian, (1782) married Anastacia Simms and had a son John Jr (1812) born at Lobanillo Hacienda, which John had inherited from Pifermo. John Maximillian Jr was a member of the Army that engaged in the battle of Nacogdoches (August 1932) against the Mexican army that occupied the Old Stone Fort. Before the order to charge, James Bullock promised his men that in the event they won the battle, he would reward the first man who entered the fort with a deed to the Old Stone Fort and the land on which it stood. John Maximillian was that man, but his home was Lobanillo Hacienda in Sabine County, so he traded the fort for a spotted pony and rode away. John Jr Married Polly Christy in 1835 and in 1836 had a son John J Maximillian ....”74
Let us begin with the fact that Marie Antoinette had no brother named John Maximillian, though she did have a brother Maximillian Franz Joseph [Hapsburg] who never left Europe.75 Juan Maximiliano D’Arze was native, not of Austria, but of Aljeciras, España, a military sergeant at Fort Natchitoches, Lousiana, who first impregnated and later married not Maria Luisa Piefermo but Marie Françoise de la Renaudière in 1784,76 having produced Juan Ignacio Maximiliano [Jr] in 1782 in Fort Natchitoches.77 Marie Françoise’s childless sister, Marie Clémence de la Renaudière, married Jean le Baptiste Ignace Leger dit Piedferme (a Leger by birth but later called Juan Piefermo and John Pifermo in Texas) and it is they who brought up her beloved nephew, Juan Ignacio Maximiliano as their son and left their entire estate to him, including Lobanillo, because of his good character and devotion to them.78 Juan Ignacio Maximiliano did fight at the Battle of Nacogdoches and did marry Anastacia Simms but it is their daughter who was named Maria Luisa Maximiliano and who married Donald MacDonald in Louisiana or deep East Texas in the early 1830s. Thus, the John Maximillian who was brought up by Jean Leger dit Piedferme a.k.a. Juan Piefermo, did not come to America in 1795 but was born in Louisiana in 1782, (fifty years before the Emperor Maximillian was born in Austria) of a Spanish father and a French mother - births, marriages and inheritance all firmly established by Catholic Church and French Post records. [c.f. Donald MacDonald and Maria Luisa Maximiliano, Chapter 9, infra.]
F. Revolutionary Pendergrasses (and not so Revolutionary Pendergrasses)
Another family legend for which this author bears some personal responsibility is that “Wake” John Pendergrass who came into Old Granville County, North Carolina, from parts as yet unknown in about 1755 and died in Wake County North Carolina in 1794 was the revolutionary veteran John Pendergrass who was “sick at Valley Forge”.79 This is not so.
When I was a rookie researcher and many of the aunties and cousins were longing for entry into the prestigious Daughters of the American Revolution, there was great pressure on me to locate a qualifying ancestor. By then we had proven a solid paper trail back to “Wake” John and I shared with my father the revolutionary index card I found at the National Archives which did list some John Pendergrass as a revolutionary veteran without listing any county or identity for him, but I shared it with the strong caution that there were several John Pendergrasses in North Carolina at the time and only one was listed on the muster rolls (as it later turned out, near one of his Orange County brothers).80 Several of the aunties and cousins threw my caution to the winds and used the record of this John Pendergrass to be admitted to the DAR, whose standards of proof were far less strict at that time than now. Our “Wake” John Pendergrass is currently listed in the DAR Patriots’ Index 81 along with his wife Hannah, but he should not be there. Later online imaging of revolutionary pension records with previously unavailable record-wide indexing shows clearly that it was “Chatham” John Pendergrass of the Orange County family group who was actually sick at Valley Forge. A supplementary affidavit from one of “Chatham” John’s brothers mentions that a brother of his had returned sick from service. [see Chapter 12, infra]
In his masterful compilation of North Carolina Revolutionary Patriots, J. D. Lewis concurs and
makes plain that the John who was in the Revolution was from the Orange County Pendergrass group of
brothers.82 For another thing, Wake John died in 1794, too early to have applied for a pension in the 1800s as “Chatham” John did.
Attempts, including a personal visit to Washington D.C. headquarters, to convince the Daughters of the American Revolution that “Chatham” John and not “Wake” John was in fact the revolutionary veteran have so far been frustratingly unsuccessful.
Although many descendants of “Wake” John served on both sides of the Civil War in the following century, there is no surviving record indicating directly that he or any of his family was in the Revolution, with two possible circumstantial exceptions:
“Bob’s” John. If evidence emerges in the future that “Bob’s” John (who married Margaret Pownall) was in fact a “Wake” John descendant (and he is in that genetic grouping), there is evidence that he served in the Revolution, apparently on both sides. He previously resided in the Sandy Creek area of North Carolina with the “Wake” John group. In 1771, there were three John Pendergrasses in Bute County, two of them living near John Pownall.83 One of these Johns married Pownall’s daughter Margaret before 1770 and left with her family for South Carolina between 1772 and 1779. Since tax records for Bute are missing for most years of the Revolution, it is not possible to say exactly when he disappeared from them, but he bought 75 acres in Lancaster County on 24 February 1779, St. Mark’s Parish.84 In the South Carolina archives is an undated list entitled “Return of Persons Who Have Gone over to the British in Capt Tillman’s Co., Col. Marshall’s Regt.” and there is presumptive evidence that John’s land was confiscated.85 Unverified tradition in that branch of the family states that he was murdered toward the end of the Revolution by a band of marauding Tories.86 [see Chapters 6 and 11, infra] In any event, “Bob’s” John was definitely part of the Sandy Creek group and definitely in the Revolution.
Raleigh Pendergrass Some researchers have assumed, that because “Wake” John Pendergrass had two (probably three) known grandsons and many later descendants with the first name Raleigh, that the Raleigh Pendergrass who served in the Revolution must have been “Wake” John’s son, but this is as yet speculative. There was a real Raleigh [Rawleigh, Rainleigh] who was mentioned five times in revolutionary records - twice on the general, statewide muster roll of the continental line,87 with no mention of his origin, and not listed with any other Pendergrasses or familiar neighbors, twice as having received posthumous pay vouchers cashed by someone else (not uncommon)88, and once as having had a land grant issued to his unnamed heirs89 who later sold it off in small pieces, still unnamed90 Revolutionary Raleigh enlisted from Duplin County, North Carolina, not near any of the other early North Carolina Pendergrass families, and was a private in 1781 under Captain William Allcock and Colonel James Kenan91. He died of the flux that same year, apparently intestate and unmarried, while in service in South Carolina.92
. Considerably later, there were numerous surveys of small parcels of land issued to assignees of his heirs, indicating that he did have family members who sold off the warrant for his bounty land93, but a study of those surveys reveals no hint of their identity. [Note: an online indexing entry under Raleigh “L” Pendergrass is a clerical error and not in the original]
In 1780, some Rawley Pendergrass carried a survey chain for land on Sandy Creek very near the area where “Wake” John and his family were living at that time.94 [see Chapter 7, infra]
The Orange County Patriots: Between 1752 and 1755 in the newly formed Orange County, North Carolina, some Robert Pendergrass was first listed on an undated tax list in the Chapel Hill area.95 Although his age and birthplace are unknown, and he likely was born earlier, to have been taxed at all in 1752 he had to have been born no later than 1736. Records indicate that he obtained land there and was later joined on the land tax rolls96 by a William Pendergrass [Sr] assumed by many to have been Robert’s son, though there is no record saying so. William [Sr] himself produced apparent children John [Sr], David [Sr], William [Jr], Job, Jemimah, and possibly Luke, several of whom served (or paid someone to serve) in the Revolution. [See also discussion of Luke, infra] More detailed records, histories and descendants of these Patriots can be found in Chapter 12, infra.
1. “Chatham” John Pendergrass, so nicknamed by researchers to distinguish him from other John Pendergrasses, first enlisted from Orange County on 20 May 1776 through 8 September 1778 under Colonel Thomas Clark, and it is he who was sick at Valley Forge. His widow Mary [Rigsbee] stated that he was three years a private and then on a new enlistment of two three month tours became a lieutenant. Final payment vouchers record his date of death as 3 June 1830 and Mary’s as 20 August 1850. Mary’s age in the 1850 census was listed as 100 but her age and marriage dates were quite unreliable.97
2. David Pendergrass enlisted from Orange County on 20 April 1776 and served two and a half years under Captain Griffith, John McRee’s Company of the First North Carolina Battalion commanded by Colonel Thomas Clark. He left service in September 1778 and his widow Susannah Unknown aged 93 in 1846, stated that they were married November 1777, that he left her alone with children while he served, and that he died in November 1800 and she had not remarried. Their son David, Jr. made supplementary applications.98
3. William Pendergrass [Jr] served personally in the Revolution during a tour or two with the local militia.99 Also, the pension affidavit of Thomas Prichard says Prichard enlisted from Orange County first as a “substitute in the place of William Pendergrass “for a three month tour against the Torys” under Captain Abraham Alen [sic] and others.100 In his affidavit supporting revolutionary benefits for his brother “Chatham” John, William [Jr] mentions another brother who was brought home for a furlough due to illness, as well as having received letters from his brothers from Pennsylvania and New Jersey.101 Taken together with his absence from the muster rolls on which his known brothers were listed, it appears that William [Jr] was at home during most of the revolution. This William did receive a land grant of fifty acres but not for service - much less acreage than his brothers Job, David and “Chatham” John received for military service. [Note: a different Will/William Pendergrass served the entire length of the war.]
4. Job Pendergrass enlisted from Orange County about 6 May 1776 for a full three year tour under Captain Roger Moore of the 10th North Carolina regiment. His pension application, filed from Burke County, stated that he was at the Battle of Stono and he believed also Beaufort. Unverified family legend
states that he lost an earlobe to a musket ball at the Battle of King’s Mountain, but he is not listed on the roster of soldiers who were there. At the time of his application, Job stated that he was “a common farm laborer but physically incapable of work due to age and infirmity”, that he possessed nothing but 15 chickens, big and little, that his wife Mary was nearly 57 years of age, that his son Henry was 20 and healthy but his daughter Mary, 15, was subject to “fitts”.102 He made no mention of any war wound or of the battle of King’s Mountain, but such a close call as losing an earlobe to a musket ball in some battle is the sort of story that is likely to be handed down the generations and might have had some basis in fact.
5. Will Pendergast [unplaced]. This Will has been misplaced in previous works as the son of a fictional William [Jr] of Bute County, himself misplaced as son of a different (real) William and Mary who lived some 60 miles away from Chapel Hill. The error occurred because an Orange County Thomas Pendergrass married Nancy Cope in 1786 in Wake County103, which at that time still shared a northwestern border with Orange, and it was wrongly believed that Thomas was therefore a brother or son of “Wake” John. The genetically unrelated “Wake” John and his family, including the different William and Mary, were at that time still in Warren County. “Wake” John did not relocate to Wake until April 1789104, and “Bute County” William never did. One married by law in the county of the bride, so normally it would have been Nancy Cope whose family lived in Wake and not necessarily Thomas, at least until his marriage. He was on road duty in Wake once105 and was taxed there briefly, but his apparent second wife Milah Coulter was a sister to Fanny, the wife of Peter Pleasant Pendergrass in Orange, and Thomas’ family ties were clearly in Orange County. The connection between the two men (Will(iam) the revolutionary veteran and Thomas, who migrated to Kentucky later), is that Thomas endorsed the back of Will(iam)’s bounty land warrant as his only listed heir.106 Tradition in this family, as cited elsewhere107 is that this Thomas was Will(iam)’s son and this seems to be borne out by the endorsement of the grant as William’s sole heir but this Will’s parentage is unknown, and Thomas could as easily have been his brother or even father.
Will Pendergast appeared on a roster of soldiers108 who received remuneration in North Carolina Army Accounts near a William Marshburn [Mashburn] and his account was listed as being payable on 17 December 1785 to [his lieutenant] James Scurlock or Will Pendergast, “Dept Com of Purchases Certficate”. Also, the heir of a William Pendergrass of North Carolina received land grant #3180 (later reassigned #2336) for 640 acres on the Harpeth River in Davidson County, Tennessee.The grant was for his service on the Continental Line during the entire 84 months (seven years) of the war and Thomas endorsed and assigned the grant to Stockley Donelson and William Terrell to be surveyed, and ultimately the grant was conveyed to a Thomas Molloy, who was buying them up, in 1797.109
To have enlisted in 1776 when the first North Carolina battle of the war occurred - the battle of Moore’s Creek Bridge - this Will could have been born no later than about 1760. Having died after the war but before December 1785, he cannot have been Orange County William Sr, who was alive to deed land to son William Jr in 1809, and he cannot have been Orange County William Jr, who was alive in 1818 to sign affidavits for the revolutionary service of his brothers, none of whom was old enough to have had a son Will by 1760 or earlier.
In fact, pickings are slim for anyone who should get the cigar for Will’s paternity. William Sr of Orange already had a son William Jr, none of the revolutionary brothers was old enough, and Luke Prendergast, whose sons were all named in his probate and who was too young anyway, had no son named Will. Richard Pendergrass was still serving out his indenture in Virginia and probably not yet married. There was a Robert Pendergrass in the area at the right time and still fit enough to carry survey chains and help build roads in 1761, who may or may not have already been the father of a William [Sr] or of this revolutionary Will, but surviving records are scarce for the period when this Will was born with no way to know what other adult males might have qualified. It is even possible that his mother was a Pendergrass and his father was not.
Yet, the land grant to this man who dedicated seven years of his life to the cause of American independence and didn’t live long to enjoy it, was in Davidson County where some of the land grants of William Sr’s sons were also located, and his name, though not on the same roster as theirs, contained familiar names of their neighbors, including James Scurlock of the prominent Chatham County family, and Orange County Mashburns, making it likely that he was related to the Orange/Chatham County Pendergraft group in some way, especially as his only heir lived and remarried there.
Richard Pendergrass, specified in that record as (free) “Negro”, of General Butler’s company was on a list of several dozen prisoners taken by the British, the list made 17 March 1781, at headquarters at Guildford [sic] two days after General Butler’s militia company saw action at the Battle of Guilford Courthouse.110 It is not known for certain where Richard was captured - only that it was “at arms”. He began his young adult life as an indentured “mulatto man servant” to Samuel Jones in Virginia11 but enlisted locally from North Carolina. He survived his imprisonment and the war, but unfortunately died in 1817,112 too early to have filed a pension application further outlining his service and personal history.[see Chapter 13]
Garrett Pendergrass Jr, son of Garrett Pendergass Sr and Ann Unknown, of Bedford County, Pennsylvania, was killed and scalped by hostile Indians while running toward Ft Harrod, Kentucky in March 1777 and is correctly listed as a DAR Patriot for his service in the revolution.113
Phillip Pendergrass, a hatter by trade and previously assumed to have been a son of Garrett Sr, [see Chapter 17] was captured by Indians at the raid of Kittaning on 8 September 1756 during the leadup to the French and Indian War114and, according to his descendant Michael Boyce, enlisted in the Revolution from Carlisle, Pennsylvania and married Margaret Hastings.115 He was taxed for himself and three cows in 1782.116

Earliest Glimpses in the Southern Colonies
(1607 - 1757)
It should be remembered that most records for most people who came into the New World, voluntarily or not, did not survive, and that people were pouring into the colonies constantly. For a good overview of conditions and considerations for emigration, there is no better source than the Peter Wilson Coldham series of books,1 and no reason to repeat that information less ably here.
Some of the men whose records did survive are discussed below, but clearly they are not all related to one another. Unlike later European immigrants who travelled in family groups, early British Isles men usually arrived as young single men or boys, and married, if at all, in the colonies. To date, no surviving early transportation record has been discovered for any Pendergrass who travelled with any other family member of the name.
In other works, there have been extreme efforts to shoehorn every colonial Pendergrass whose record survived into one big interrelated family, but a closer examination of the existing evidence, together with YDNA testing, has plainly shown that not everyone with some variation of the Pendergrass name was related to everyone else of that name in the colonies. Below are a few of the early Pendergrass immigrant men whose records have survived. No record of a female colonial Pendergrass immigrant has been found.
A. Thomas Spendergrass, 1635
“April 3, Passengers with certificate of conformity from St. Katherine's, London, and having taken the oaths, to be transported from Gravesend to St. Christopher's and Barbadoes by the Paul of London. Thomas Spendergrass, 24 yoa.” 2 This is the earliest provable record found of a (S)pendergrass bound for the New World, to the Barbadoes, after having sworn an obligatory oath of loyalty to the King and the Church of England. Nothing further is known about him. [Note the elision between first and last names]
B. Phillip, Imported Servant, 1643
In his 1977 book, Allen Pendergraft writes on page 1:
“James1 Pendergrass (Prendergast) the Immigrant, 1640?-1718
Tradition from the family of Dr. Charles Augustus Pendergrass, Jr., of Richmond is that the first immigrant was from Ireland originally but sailed to Virginia from England, that he brought two sons with him, and that a son or brother of the Immigrant remained behind. James was probably born by 1640 if the father of at least two sons in 1669, as professional genealogists use 26 as average age of a father at birth of first child when the father's age is unknown. James arrived 1668/69, meaning 1668 Old Style calendar, 1669 New Style used today. James might be the son of Philip Prendergast of the 1643, 1647, and 1655 Charles City County, Va., Land Grants, as Philip is the only Prendergast of record in Virginia before James, but Philip apparently did not remain in Virginia. That the wife of James1 may have been Mary is suggested by this entry in the Parish register of Christ Church, Middlesex County, Virginia: "Sep. 15, 1715: Mary Pendergrass died." The wife of James2 was also named Mary but she died before1705 when James2 died, Dec. 5, 1705, Richmond Co. Inventory, as their children were then treated as orphans: James3 was bound out to Bartholomew Dorsey and John3 to William Phillips. “ 3
This passage from Allen’s book is a total misstatement of nearly every “fact” he mentions as well as a baffling misinterpretation of them. Never mind that everyone from Ireland sailed from England in the 1600s because there were no direct voyages from Ireland at that time, never mind that children were treated as orphans when their fathers died regardless of their mothers’ state of health, and never mind that four hundred year old family “traditions” are rarely supported by facts; there is no evidence of any such immigrant with two sons along for the trip. All the surviving early Pendergrass family transport records are of apparently young single males who signed on as servants to pay for the trip, or were orphans, or were convicted felons who avoided hanging by “volunteering” to be transported. [See John Pownall, infra.]
Here, again[3A], is the one and only surviving record regarding the early Phillip Pendergrass:
“On October 16th, 1643 Mr. John Bishopp received 89 acres in James City County [Virginia] upon the head of David Jones Cr. ENE from Mr. Hoes uppermost plantation for the transportation of 18 persons: Phillip Pendergast, Robert Andrew, Tho. Hanscome, Eliza Sidney, Symon Haselton, Joyce Browne, Wm. Andrews, Ralph Lester, Jeffrey Denchfield, Richard Smith, Tho. Warner, Adrian Foord, Robert Taylor, Symon Symonds, John Bishopp his wife. [Note: Renewed in the name of Capt. Thos. Swann 8 Apr 1650.]11
Please note that there were no other persons listed as family members of Phillip, that Phillip was someone who could not pay his own passage and therefore was not simultaneously a landed gentleman of the same name back in Ireland a decade later, as has been hypothesized elsewhere, and that a renewal or sale of the headrights of the same eighteen people for whom Mr John Bishopp originally got land does not mean that he or any of the other servants made additional trips back and forth across the Atlantic. Phillip himself did not get any land for being transported at Mr Bishopp’s expense, and the later reassignment of the same grant did not mean that Mr Bishopp got land for his headrights more than once. If Phillip survived long enough, he would have served out an average term of indenture of four to six years, with little control over his own destiny during that time. He would not have been able to marry without permission of his master, he would have received no pay other than room and board, and if he had to work for several years as a servant to pay for his passage to America, he certainly could not have paid his own passage back to England and Ireland. It is not known whether Phillip Pendergast survived to procreate in Virginia, but he was with no one else of his name when he arrived around 1640/3, and he was never again mentioned in any surviving record. He certainly did not travel back to England or Ireland to engender children there, and there is no indication of any relationship to a Michael, John or James Pendergrass or to anyone else.
C. James Pendergras, imported servant, 1671. He was transported that year from Bristol to Virginia on the Trial, servant to Robert Pennington for four years.5 No age or origin information was given. [See further Paragraph F, below].
D. Jorden Pendergrasse, before 1678. He was an orphan transported and indentured prior to 1678, to the Carribean island of Monserrat in the Lesser Antilles.6 .No other age or origin information was given.
E. Robert Pendergrass, imported servant , 1678. Robert was born about 1661 and indentured by 1678 to Colonel Quigley in Westmoreland County, Virginia. 1678/80.7 [image]****
F. James Spendergrass Group, Richmond by 1697 Contrary to other writings and thousands of online family trees based on them, there is no evidence whatsoever of any James Pendergrass born in 1640 and transported in 1688 who died in 1718. The birth date is an approximation based on erroneous assumptions, themselves based only on someone’s recollection hundreds of years later of a family “tradition”, and the 1718 death date is a factual mistake based on a court record showing that the estate of the real James Spendergrass, [Sr, wife, Mary Unknown] who died in 1704, was still in litigation in 1718 as his sons of record came of age and fought in court to regain recompense for their father’s stolen estate.
Whether the same person as Richmond County James or not, the first documented James Pendergras [see paragraph C, supra] into the colonies was transported from Bristol to Virginia as an indentured servant to Robert Pennington in 1671. According to the transport record, there was no one else of the Pendergrass name with him on the voyage, nor is it known whether Robert Pennington was physically there.
Also, contrary to speculation elsewhere, if a James were transported from England in 1671 (or even 1668) as a servant to Robert Pennington, a Phillip already in the New World by 1643, transported as a servant, could not have been his father. The “line back to Phillip” is only a well-intentioned fabrication.
James would not, by law, have been allowed to marry before his indenture was up, so he married, if he did, in the colonies and did not bring any sons with him. Unless extended or terminated, his indenture was up in about 1675, when he would have been free to marry, free to own land if he could afford it, and would have been given such assets as the law then required, sometimes a suit of clothes, sometimes a bit of land, sometimes a bit of money. It is not known whether this James survived the voyage, where he went if he did, or whether he was the same James as Richmond County James, or Calvert County, Maryland James, or both, or neither.
The first real, documented James (S)pendergrass who can be proven to have lived and died in Virginia is the one who appeared in Richmond County records, on the Northern Neck in the area which later became North Farnham Parish, near Totuskey Creek [local pronunciation: TO’tuskey] and whose family appeared frequently under “Spendergrass”or sometimes “Pendergrass” in early court and church records.
It is important to note that Richmond County is on the Northern Neck of Virginia across from Maryland and is not the same place as the Capitol City of Richmond, which is far to the South in Henrico County.

Whether the same person as Richmond County James or not, the first documented James Pendergras [see paragraph C, supra] into the colonies was transported from Bristol to Virginia as an indentured servant to Robert Pennington in 1671.8 According to the transport record, there was no one else of the Pendergrass name on the voyage, and it is not known whether Robert Pennington was physically there.

The first real, documented James (S)pendergrass who can be proven to have lived and died in Virginia is the one who appeared in Richmond County records,[4-B] on the Northern Neck in the area which later became North Farnham Parish, near Totuskey Creek [pronunced TO’tuskey] and whose family appeared frequently as “Spendergrass” and sometimes “Pendergrass” in early court and church records.
It is important to note that Richmond County is on the Northern Neck of Virginia across from Maryland and is not the same place as the City of Richmond, far to the South in Henrico County.
Richmond County James [Sr] was deceased by December 17049, leaving a widow named Mary, maiden name unknown (not Henri), and for clarity of generations and to untangle some of the twisted information found elsewhere about him, he will be called James [Sr] in this book, although he was never so called in the records. For reference, the real James [Sr] who died (just the once) in late 1704 was just one person, erroneously identified elsewhere as two different generations called James I and James II. James [Sr]’s son, James [Jr], born 1692, was the shoemaker apprentice.10 James, the shoemaker’s nephew, born 1729,11 son of John, and grandson of James [Sr], was the tailor who sold his late father John’s land in 1751.12 Neither James [Sr] nor James [Jr] ever owned John’s land on Totuskey Creek and could not have sold it. The muddling of the several Richmond County James generations is just one example of why this book had to be written. For clarity, then, the documented descendants of James Spendergrass [Sr] are:
__________GENERATION 1__________
1. JAMES SPENDERGRASS [SR]’s birth date and place are unknown, but he was in North Farnham Parish, Richmond County, Virginia married to Mary Unknown no later than 1697, litigated briefly during 1704, and died there in late 1704/5.
James Spendergrass [Sr] and Mary Unknown had the following provable children:
1.1. ELINOR SPENDERGRASS2 was born in an unknown location by about 1687 (Approximate birth year based on being married to Anthony Gilbert before 1705) in an unknown location. Neither her birth nor marriage was listed in the North Farnham register but she and Anthony were administrators of James [Sr]’s estate. No issue has yet been located, as Anthony absconded with James [Sr]’s estate in 1706 and no further record of him has been found. Anthony had been sued successfully for debts several times before he disappeared.
1.2. JAMES ("P") SPENDERGRASS [JR] [shoemaker apprentice] was born in an unknown location on 15 February 1692 (Birth date given in court record of James' voluntary apprenticeship to brother-in-law Anthony Gilbert). He married Rebecca Unknown no later than 1720, but probably much earlier, and his mark on documents was a “P”.
1.3. JOHN ("R") SPENDERGRASS [Planter] was born in April 1697 in North Farnham Parish, Richmond County, with parents James and Mary Spendergrass named in the Parish Register. He bought two parcels of land on Totuskey Creek in March 1727 and married in December 1728. His will was written in contemplation of death on January 19th and proved 2 April 1733 in Lunenburg Parish (formerly North Farnham), Richmond County, Virginia, by Robert Tomlin and John Dozier, witnesses; His wife Elizabeth [Cribin] was named executrix. She was born about 1710, based on her marriage to John on 2 December 1728, and she died after 1751, but it is not known when. By 1741,she had married a Medford neighbor.
__________GENERATION 2__________
1.1. ELINOR2SPENDERGRASS, born in an unknown location by about 1687, married Anthony Gilbert before 1705.
1.2. JAMES ("P" his mark) SPENDERGRASS JR [shoemaker apprentice] and Rebecca Unknown had at least the following children, two proven and two tentatively placed for later discussion:
1.2.1. ROBERT3 SPENDERGRASS [TENTATIVE], born by 1713 in Richmond County, Virginia, (Robert and wife Elizabeth Unknown had a child John born December 1734, so Robert’s birth year is estimated from 21 years after putative father James's birth in 1792 and another 21 years to 1734. If each man fathered a child at about age 21, the dates fit. Robert’s birth year estimate is also calculated from litigation dates.
1.2.2. DANIEL SPENDERGRASS [TENTATIVE], born before 1715 (Daniel had to have been 21 to be sued in his own right in 1736, so latest birth date is 1715.)
1.2.3. WINNIFRED SPENDERGRASS, born 25 August 1721 in North Farnham Parish, Richmond County, Virginia, birth listed in register as daughter of James and Rebeccah.
1.2.4. ELINOR SPENDERGRASS was born on 13 May 1729 in North Farnham Parish, Richmond County, Virginia, birth listed in register as daughter of James and Rebeccah.
1.3. JOHN ("R" his mark) SPENDERGRASS [Planter] and Elizabeth Cribin had only the two following children (unless he fathered an illegitimate child with Sarah Lewis in his very early teens):
1.3.1. JAMES ("J")3SPENDERGRASS/PENDERGRASS [Tailor], born 23 November 1729 in North Farnham Parish Register, Richmond County, died after 1751 when he sold the Totuskey Creek land. His mark was a “J”.
1.3.2. MARY SPENDERGRASS,was born about 1731 in Richmond County, Virginia. (Age estimated from parents' marriage date and age of brother James, born 1729, death of father in 1733 and mention of her name in his will.)
The assertion by other authors that the widow Mary (maiden name unknown) Spendergrass in Richmond County died before 1705 because her children with late husband James were treated as “orphans” at that time is of course a plain factual mistake. Women had little or no legal standing in 1705 Virginia and children were treated as “orphans” when their fathers died, whether their mothers were alive or not. The death date of Mary Spendergrass of Richmond County, Virginia, is not known and was not listed in the North Farnham Parish Register, so among the possibilities are that she died unrecorded, moved away, or remarried quickly, as widows were often forced to do because they were unlikely to inherit more than a small temporary portion of their late husbands’ estates. The two minor boys were not “bound out” to the Dorsey or Phillips families, as has been written elsewhere,13 but were only placed in their temporary care and tuition. [See further, below] That Mary Unknown (not Henri) was the wife of the James [Sr] who died in 1704 is not in doubt because she was listed as his wife in the North Farnham Parish Register (of births) in April 1697 when their younger son John was born.
The other real Mary Pendergrass who died down in Christ Church Parish in 1715 was in Middlesex County, not Richmond County, was a member of a totally different church parish across a wide river and was part of the Edward Pendergrass group which arose there and is discussed elsewhere in this book.14 This is a fine example of Allen Pendergraft’s assumption that any two people with the same name were the same person and his insistence on blending the various unrelated Pendergrass groups into one big family. No age or relationship was given for Middlesex Mary’s death, and although it was customary to list parents when an infant’s death was recorded, it was not an ironclad rule, so it is not known whether this Mary died young or was aged, was married, unmarried, or widowed, or even whether Pendergrass was her married or maiden name.
The idea that the maiden name of either of these women would be “Henri” because there were boys in the family with the common first name Henry would not be credible even if there were boys in the family with the first name Henry, but the names of males in the Richmond County Spendergrass group were James, John, Robert and Daniel and, later, an Edward who seems to have passed through from Middlesex, but no Henry at all.
Moreover, James [Jr] the shoemaker apprentice was not married to a Mary anyone but to Rebecca Unknown, with whom he had daughters Winnefred and Elinor, whose births were duly listed in the North Farnham Parish register.15 Although there was no record of the wedding itself, the church birth records indicate that the children were born into a recognized marriage. There were no other children for this couple listed in the parish register, but this is not necessarily an indication that they had none. Court records indicate the existence of at least two possible sons, listed above, discussed below.
Also, for discussion purposes only, there is some scant evidence to be examined about possible origins of Richmond County James Spendergrass [Sr]: The (North) Farnham Parish Register commences in 1663 but no Spendergrass or Pendergrass appears in it until the birth of James [Sr] and Mary’s son John in April, 1697.16 From court records, it is known that this couple had an older son James born somewhere on 15 February 1692/3 and an even older daughter Eleanor born early enough to have been married in 1704 when James died, so no later than about 1687, but these births and Eleanor’s marriage are not listed in the parish register. This is a faint indication, only, that James and Mary may not have been in North Farnham Parish before about 1697. However, it should be noted that James Spendergrass’s death is not recorded in the register and it is certain that he died within the County by late 1704.17 Also, the marriage of James Spendergrass [Jr] to Rebecca Unknown was not listed there, but the births of two of their children were, so the family was not punctilious about recording its life events with the church.
The transport record for the James Pendergras [sic] who departed England on the Tryall in 1671 indentured to Robert Pennington for four years stated that he was bound for Virginia,18 but this does not rule out (or in) the possibility that he began his new life in Maryland, directly across the water from the Northern Neck of Virginia. The age of the James who was indentured to Robert Pennington is unknown, but in any event he would have been unable to marry without the consent of his master before 1675, and if still underage, even later.
In his unpublished research notes, the author of the excellent book, Family History: John Pendergrass,19 Robert A. Pendergrast of Atlanta, mentioned this verified 1683 reference to an early James Pendergrass in Calvert Co, Maryland, just to the north of Virginia’s Northern Neck Counties and with easy access to them by water. “ Petition Concerning Towne. The humble petition of the Inhabitants of Calvert Co. in the ffreshes of Pottuxen, &c. May it please your honors ...." There follows a lengthy petition requesting that a town be laid out on the lands of John Boling, signed by 58 people, including James Spendergrass.20 [Note the elision between the two names, and that this unusual spelling is continued in Richmond County, Virginia records later, even without elision.] The council met at St. Mary’s, near the Potomac, between Calvert County, Maryland, and northern Virginia, and granted the request October 7, 1685.21
James Spendergrass signed this document with this spelling, and there is no indication of a mark
for him in the clerk’s copy, though the clerk diligently reproduced marks of other signatories.22
Then, on 7 May 1688 also in Calvert County, Maryland, a James Spendergrass was security with Joseph Fry for Margarett Golaish, administratrix of the estate of John Golaish(e). According to the record, Richard Marsham exhibited the will of the late John Golaish(e), proved by Robert Dove, witness, the other witnesses being dead or having run away. Also exhibited was the bond of Margarett Glolaish [sic] administratrix, and her securities, Joseph Fry and James Spendergrass. 23
Whether this James Spendergrass was the same man transported by Robert Pennington, and whether he wandered down from Calvert County, Maryland, to Richmond County, Virginia, both tempting and time-compatible theories, are not as yet proven and should not be accepted or published as fact until further evidence is collected. As yet, no signature or mark of Richmond County James Spendergrass has been located for comparison with that of the Calvert County, Maryland, James Spendergrass, who signed the petition in full. In any event, the only extant copy of the Maryland petition seems to be that made by the clerk in the court records, so the “signatures” were all in the clerk’s handwriting anyway.
As mentioned above, then, what is known and provable from real paper records is that there was in fact a James Spendergrass [Sr] married to Mary Unknown residing in Richmond County, Virginia by 1697 and that the first entry for this couple in the (North) Farnham Parish Register, which commenced in 1663, was for the birth of their son John in April, 1697, day not given.24 From later court records it is established that they also had a son James, born February 15, 169225 and a daughter Eleanor who, by James’s death in December 1704, was married to Anthony Gilbert, shoemaker.26 The court order books for the county are extant from 1692 but do not mention any (S)pendergrass until 1704, when James Spendergrass [Sr], whose occupation and social standing were not given (he was never styled “Gentleman” or by any occupation in court records), sued William Smith, shoemaker, who defaulted.27 James in turn failed to perfect the order and on June 7th, a nonsuite was granted to William Smith, shoemaker, for the non-appearance of James, and Smith it was ordered that he recover his costs of the lawsuit from James. 28
It is possible that James failed to appear because he was dead or dying, since his next mention in the court records on 5 December 1704 was due to his death and the issues regarding his estate and minor sons, James [Jr] and John.29 An order was entered that the elder son, “James Spendergrass, son of James Spendergrass, dec’d do continue with Bartholomew Dorsey till it shall be otherwise ordered by this court.” On the same page, it was similarly ordered that “John Spendergrass, son of James Spendergrass, dec’d do continue with Wm. Phillips and that the said Phillips do take him into his care and tuition till it shall be otherwise ordered by the court.” 30 Neither of these orders was for the “binding out” of the boys as apprentices or servants, as has been stated elsewhere, but only for their temporary care. Neither is there any reason to believe that either the Dorsey or Phillips family was related to the minor James and John by blood or marriage - in fact quite the contrary. The Phillips family tried to have John bound as their servant.
On 7 February, 1705, when the court sent [Gentlemen] Henry Bruce and James Ingo “to assess the house where James Spendergrass late deceased did live and to inventory and appraise all and singular his estate”, the only two heirs mentioned were the minor James [Jr] and John.31 The appraisers were sworn and were instructed to bring in a true “appraisement” to the next court, which they did on March 6th, 1704/5.The inventory was ordered to be recorded but no record of it made at that time has been found.
On the following day, “upon the petition of Anthony Gilbert and Eleanor [Spendergrass] his wife, an order for administration was “granted unto them on all and singular the estate of James Spendergrass’ dec’d, they giving security according to law”.32 Their unfortunate securities, William Jenkins and Robert Port, acknowledged themselves indebted to the “majesties justices” if Anthony and Eleanor did not administer and render a true account of James [Sr]’s estate. It is very important to note the names of these two securities in order to understand later events in the litigation of this estate and exactly whose estate was inventoried in the same court in 1718.
There were no living children younger than John, about age 7 at James’ death, and had there been older sons of majority age in the area, the eldest would normally have had preference as administrator. The fact that daughter Eleanor and her husband were appointed instead makes it appear that either there were no such older surviving sons or that they were not residing in or near Richmond County. If James [Sr] owned land, and there is no indication whether he did other than the order to assess his personal property at a house which could have been rented, it could have passed automatically to his eldest son, if there had been one, by operation of law without ever having been mentioned in any record. No record of a later tax, sale or transfer of any such land has been found, however.
Shortly thereafter, James [Jr] Spendergrass, who had not been living with the Dorsey family after all, came into court and volunteered to be bound out to Anthony Gilbert, cordwayner, who “set forth his petition to this court that his brother in law, James Spendergrass, was desirous to be bound to him to learn the trade aforesaid, and that he kept him and found him dyett and clothes for the 12 months past, said James Spendrgrass coming into court and signifying that he was willing to live with Anthony Gilbert upon the consideration aforesaid, ordered that James Spendergrass do serve Anthony Gilbert till he shall arrive at the age of 21 years as an apprentice to the trade of a cordwayner and that Anthony do keep said James to no other employment than the trade aforesaid and that he also keep him to his learning, said James being att the age of 14 years the 15th day of February last past.”33 [4-C]
In the next months, Anthony Gilbert appeared often in court orders, confessing a debt of 200 pounds tobacco to Henry Parker in July 1706,34 and settling a suit by Edward Jeffreys the following day.35 On 7 November, he dismissed his own suit against James Story, William Deecas dismissed a suit against Anthony, a special imparlance was granted for Emanuel Cleve and Anthony to discuss settlement before the next court36 and that suit was dismissed on December 5th, 1706.37 On the same day, judgment was issued to the Sheriff for 1230 pounds of tobacco to Griffin Fauntleroy for the non-appearance of Anthony Gilbert.38 An attachment against Anthony Gilbert’s “estate” for that amount was issued, but in such proceedings at that time the term “estate” did not mean that the debtor was deceased unless the record said so.
On 15 February, 1707, an inventory of the estate of James Spendergrass [Sr], deceased, was taken at the house of Eleanor and Anthony Gilbert’s security Robert Port,39 and by 3 November of that same year, securities William Jenkins and Robert Port were called into court, Anthony Gilbert having “absconded and run away.” 40 This event set the stage for more than a decade of litigation by the unfortunate heirs, James [Jr] and John, as they came of age. Nothing further is found of Eleanor Spendergrass and Anthony Gilbert in Richmond or surrounding counties and it is not known whether she was a knowing party to the theft or whether she left with her husband. Her brother, James Spendergrass [Jr] did not leave the county, but it is not known exactly where or with whom he was living after Anthony Gilbert left with most of the boys’ inheritance. There is no evidence whether the boys’ mother, Mary Unknown, was still living, and if so, where, or whether she remarried.
It should go without saying that the other hypothetical “children” listed elsewhere as offspring of James [Sr] and Mary Unknown did not exist as their children. Eleanor who married Anthony Gilbert was real enough, as were minor sons James [Jr] born 1692 and John born 1697, but Edward down in Middlesex (not in Richmond or Westmoreland until shortly before he died) was an orphaned immigrant and apparently not the son of anyone in Virginia.41 James [the Tailor] was James [Sr] and Mary Unknown’s grandson through their son John who married Elizabeth Cribin and he was born in 172942 not 1692, (which is when his uncle James[Jr] was born). The fact that William Smith, shoemaker, sued James [Sr] for a debt, and John Smith was later asked by the court to value his estate, does not mean that either man was married to a (fictional) daughter of James [Sr] and Mary, as other authors have assumed.
Also sometimes misplaced as children of James [Sr] and Mary (or of the erroneously amalgamated Richmond County Jameses) are Darby, James, Mary, Elizabeth, Honor and Ann Pendergrass of Charleston, South Carolina, many miles to the south and born after James [Sr] was dead. This mistake was based on another author’s having confused the three generations of Richmond County, Virginia, Jameses and not realizing that James [the Tailor] was not born until 1729 and therefore could not have been the father of Darby, born some years before then. Additionally, the only link referenced was the fact that James Spendergrass born 1729 was apprenticed to Colo. Landon Carter to train as a tailor43, and Charleston, South Carolina, Darby was a tailor, among other enterprises.[see Chapter 14] Neither “tailor” appeared in records anywhere near the other.
That the orphaned James [Jr] was briefly placed in the care of the Bartholomew Dorsey family does not mean that he was related to them by blood or marriage or even that he lived in their home. James [Jr] was not bound out to this family or a ward of this family and in fact had been living with his sister Elinor and her husband Anthony Gilbert for a year or more before being apprenticed legally to Anthony.
It is sheer folly to assume that every person who merely had legal dealings with a Pendergrass family was married to someone in it, but, again, a fictional daughter was created by Allen Pendergraft44 merely because the Phillips family took in the orphaned John and brought him up for some years, not as an apprentice or ward or as his guardians, but because they expected to be paid for doing so. In fact, Susannah Phillips came into court and tried to have John declared a servant to the family until his 21st birthday, which his brother James prevented by objecting in court, repaying the Phillips family for John’s upbringing and taking on his upbringing himself.45 Given such behavior, there is certainly no reason to assume that Susannah Phillips was John’s sister. In fact, Susannah, wife of William Phillips, was the daughter of Joan Lloyd, per Mrs. Lloyd’s 1703 Richmond County will.46
Since James Spendergrass [Sr] and Mary Unknown already had a son John born 1697, it is difficult to understand why anyone would create a second son named John for them down in Middlesex County, yet there it sits in print in Allen’s book right on page one47, an apparent creation of his confusion about the James generations. There was a real John Pendergrass who died in 1718 in Middlesex County (also one who was born there that year)48, a different Parish and County from that of James [Sr] and Mary, and there is no record or logic connecting him to the Richmond County Spendergrass family.
So, again, what is provable about the children of James [Sr] and Mary Unknown is that they had a daughter Elinor born no later than about 1688 who married Anthony Gilbert before 1705, and two sons, James [Jr] born 1692 and John born 1697, who were still minors in 1704/5. No other children were mentioned in any record and none besides James [Jr] and John came forward during the many years of litigation over James [Sr]’s missing estate. Had there been an older son available, he’d have received preference over Eleanor and her husband as administrator of James [Sr]’s estate. Had there been other married daughters, one of their husbands would have had preference to replace Anthony Gilbert after he absconded, but no one else appeared.
Likewise, there was no daughter of James [Sr] and Mary (or of any Spendergrass) who married Robert Tomlin. Robert’s wife was Elizabeth [widow of John Suggitt] and Robert was a friend of James [Sr]’s son John, so identified in John’s 1733 Richmond County will,49 and was not formally appointed a guardian of John’s children in it but only asked to step in to protect the children from abuse by a stepfather if one should marry their mother. The widowed Elizabeth did later marry a Medford, first name not known, and the Medford plantation was adjacent to the land inherited by her young son James [the Tailor] and sold by him in 1751, reserving her third for life.50 When an unspecified legal dispute arose regarding the deceased Henry Medford’s estate and the Spendergrasses, Robert Tomlin did not fail of his duties but stepped in to represent John’s children’s interests (outcome unknown).51
Michael Pendergras and his son John of New Kent County are discussed fully in a later section of this book. There is no known connection between them and any other (S)pendergrass group and certainly no reason to think Michael was the son of James [Sr] up on the Northern Neck. Some simple math shows that Michael had to have been born by the 1660s to have had a son marrying in 1709,52 and was therefore too old to have been a son of James [Sr] and Mary Unknown, (who were still having children in 1697), even if a Michael had lived anywhere near them or ever been mentioned with them in any record.
One cannot (or at least should not) simply make up people or relationships in a genealogy. The fact that someone sued someone or administered his estate or lived next door or had the same last name while living in a distant county, does not mean that there was a relationship through blood or marriage. Not every first name of a child was his mother’s maiden name. These fictional sons and daughters of James [Sr], created from absolutely no documentary evidence, are part of a pattern that recurs throughout Mr. Pendergraft’s book - that anyone who came near the family must have married a daughter of it, and any child’s first name, sometimes even common ones, must have been someone’s maiden.
Thus, fictional wives and daughters were created at whim and dispatched at will, sometimes solely on the basis of a child’s first name, which could have come from anywhere. (One unusual given name for a child which appeared nowhere else in the family was that of the doctor who successfully attended a particularly difficult birth.) One hopes that the intelligent reader will rely on the real documentary evidence presented in this book and available at the archives instead.
A few years after James [Sr]’s death, and while his son John was still under the care and tuition of the Phillips’ family, on March 5, 1711/12, one Sarah Lewis, a servant to a prominent Mrs. [Anthony?]Strother, was brought before the Richmond County Court on charges of having borne an [unnamed] illegitimate child and the court made inquiry as to its paternity.53 [4-D] Sarah Lewis initially refused to name the father and was ordered to jail for the night and then to receive 21 lashes on her bare back at the public whipping post the following morning, and (if she lived) to remain in jail until she named the father.54 Reflecting for a while upon this terrifying sentence, Sarah reconsidered, was brought back into court, and swore that John Pendergrass was the true father of her child.55 Another year and a half was added to her servitude for her mistress’s “inconvenience”. John Spendergrass, orphaned son of James [Sr] in North Farnham Parish would barely have been fourteen at the conception of this child, and Sarah Lewis was listed as “of Saint Mary’s Parish”, so it is unknown whether Sarah’s child was his or that of some other John Pendergrass. The court order and probate books reflect no further mention of this child (of unknown gender), or of Sarah Lewis, and no attempt at all to punish the putative father. (No lashes for him.)
Between the time of his father James [Sr]’s death in 1704 and September 1, 1714, the minor John Spendergrass had been in the care of the William Phillips family, but his brother James [Jr] was by then an adult, and on that date, “ John Pendergrass, an Orphan Son of James Pendergrass, late of this County, was brought before Court by Susanna Phillips who prayed that the said John Pendergrass should be bound to her husband William Phillips. James Pendergrass, brother of the said John, objected against it and prayed that he might have the charge and tuition, which was granted, he paying William Phillips for the maintaining and bringing up of the said John.”56 On the same court day, “James Pendergrass [Jr] in open court confessed judgment to William Phillips for 2400 pounds of tobacco, the same being the consideration allowed him for the maintaining and bringing up a brother of the said James named John Pendergrass which is ordered to be paid with costs alias execution”.57 James [Jr] paid on the spot. [4-E]
On 30 January, 1715 in Richmond County, a John (“R”his mark) Spenderdas witnessed lease and release deeds from William Dunn of North Farnham Parish, Richmond County to Jno. Canterbury, same, for 100 acres at the head of a small branch between William Dunn & William Clark lying on branches of Totuskey Creek.58 (Later, at about age 30, John Spendergrass, son of James [Sr], purchased two small parcels of land near this location.)59 It should be noted that although John, son of James [Sr] would have been only 17 in January1715, a free male could witness deeds, devise personal property, and perform certain other legal tasks at age fourteen.
A question arises, however, about the identity of the John who witnessed Dunn’s lease and release by using the mark “R”, because the John Spendergrass who witnessed the will of Joshua Singleton on 28 December, 1732 and signed his own will on 19 January, 1733 and who was provably John, son of James [Sr], signed in full both times, according to the clerk’s copies.60 Whether John had learned to sign his name in the preceding fifteen years, or a clerk’s oversight omitted the mark, or whether this is a different John altogether is an open issue, particularly in view of the action of paternity by Sarah Lewis when the John born April 1697 would have been only 14 at the time of conception. The litigation involving John’s father’s estate clearly identifies him as James [Sr]’s son, and it is he who married Elizabeth Cribin and bought the land on Totuskey Creek, but there are additional lawsuits by and against a John Spendergrass who may or may not have been the same person. However, except for an inventory of the estate of the John who died in 1733, there were no further mentions in the public or church records of Richmond County of any John (S)pendergrass other than the estate proceedings of John, son of James [Sr], who died in 1733.
While the John who died in 1733 was only 18 and still a minor, his older brother, James Spendergrass [Jr], by then an adult, had brought a lawsuit on 9 March 1715 against William Jenkins under the 1705 security agreement that Jenkins had entered to insure that Anthony Gilbert and wife Eleanor properly administered James [Sr]’s estate, which they did not do,61 and by May 2nd 1715 to which date the case was continued, James [Jr] had at last obtained a judgment against Jenkins for 978 pounds of tobacco, and costs of recovering it.62
The court order books then remained quiet as to the Spendergrass family until 1718, when John Spendergrass, born 1797 and brother of James [Jr], approached the age of majority, and then the legal battles recommenced. The estate of James [Sr] who died in 1704 had never been fully administered, and the whole matter was reopened by the heirs.63 It was fourteen years after James [Sr]’s death, the younger son John at last an adult and legally able to sue the securities on his own behalf.
“On 2 July,1718 , John Smith came into court and made oath that James Spendergrass departed this life without making any will soe far as he knows or believes and on his petition giveing security for his just and faithfull administration of the said decedent’s estate, Certificate is granted him for obtaining letters of administration In Pax Forme.” 64
It is easy to see why a new administration of James [Sr]’s estate so many years later would be confusing, and might give rise to the assumption that this was a different James, but the key to identifying the estate as James [Sr]’s is that his sons, as soon as they reached majority, each sued the original securities, Jenkins and Port, who had naively and to their own misfortune guaranteed the good conduct of Anthony Gilbert and the heirs’ sister Elinor.
On 6 August 1718, John Smith (not the long since dead Jamestown John Smith, of course) was court ordered to do the administration of James Spendergrass [Sr] dec’d’s goods, chattles, and credits, and on 3 September he brought in the first “appraisement” of the estate and it was duly recorded.65 The debt account owed by James Spendergrass, dec’d’s estate amounted to 640 pounds of tobacco as submitted by John Smith, and included items “paid to Henry Harford (60 lbs tobacco) 3 months accommodations, 1 gallon and 1 pint rum, 2 bushels corn paid Doyle, paid Henry Harford, funeral charges, Clerk’s and Securities’s fees for the Total: 640 lbs tobacco, errors excepted, per John Smith.”66
On the same day, John Smith, Samuel Bayley, John Yeatman, and David Jackson “ met at the house of John Smith and then and there did appraise the estate of James Spendergrass as was brought to our view as follows: a small parcel of new goods, an old chest lock and key, a parcel of old wearing clothes. Total: 2 pounds 14 shillings, no pence.”67 This was all that was left of James [Sr]’s estate.
On the following day, the court ordered that the Sheriff summon to next court William Jenkins, security for the proper administration of the estate of James Pendergrass [Sr] dec’d to answer to the petition of John Pendergrass.68 As his brother James had done before him, John (S)pendergrass, when he became an adult and able to come into court in his own right, sued the same security, William Jenkins, for his bonding the person who mishandled their father’s estate. However, on November 5th, John’s petition against William Jenkins was “dismist, the plaintiff not prosecuting”.69 No further reason was given, but the case was far from over.
In May of 1719, the court “Ordered that the Sheriff summons to next court William Jenkins to answer the petition of James Spendergrass” 70 and on June 4th, “The petition of John Pendergrass agn’t Wm Jenkins is continued to next court and ordered that the Sheriff summons to the said next court, Hannah Port, ,administrator of the estate of Robert Port dec’d, to answer the same.” 71
It was by then fifteen years after the death of James Spendergrass [Sr] and the court apparently was wearying of the litigation, for on 1 July, 1719 it decreed: “The difference between John Spendergrass, Petitioner and Wm Jenkins and Hannah Port Defendants, for his part of his father’s estate in their hands is referred to James Ingo, Gent. to settle accounts between them and that he report the same to the next court”72 The language of this order is significant, because it clearly identifies the deceased James [Sr] as the father of John Spendergrass and the persons being sued as the original securities who were appointed for James [Sr]’s estate in 1704/5.
Thus, the mysterious and fictional James Spendergrass born 1640 who “died” a second time in 1718 in other works about this family is finally laid to rest. He never existed.
James Ingo did settle the accounts in what amounted to an early eighteenth century court ordered arbitration, and on 5 August 1719, judgment was finally granted to James [Sr]’s son and heir John Spendergrass against William Jenkins and Hannah Port (because she was administratrix of Robert Port’s probate estate) for 3,987 pounds of tobacco which was ordered to be paid with costs alias execution73
Not long afterward, James [Jr] and his wife Rebeccah Unknown recorded the births of two daughters in the North Farnham parish register, Winnefred, born 25 August 1721 in Richmond County and Elinor born there 13 May 1729.74 If there were other children, their births were not recorded there. [Note: Pendergrass and (more often) Spendergrass were used interchangeably in the register for the same individuals.]
On 25 February 1722, James Spendergrass [Jr] of North Farnham Parish was summoned to court on a presentment by the grand jury, but failed to appear to defend himself and was fined five shillings or fifty pounds of tobacco for failing to frequent his parish church for one month.75 [4-F]
Although he was the younger of the two minor sons of James [Sr], John Spendergrass’ short, sad life will be set forth first because it is clear, well documented and over quickly, leaving the more complicated and murkier relationships in Richmond County for later, more detailed discussion.
John was never long out of litigation. While his older brother James [Jr] who had rescued him from years of servitude in the Phillips household, had gone on to marry and begin a family, John, or someone of the same name, continued appearing in court.
In March of 1723, William Rust obtained an attachment against John Pendergrass’ estate for a sum of tobacco due by account served in the hands of Jane Carther, but no further explanation was given and Jane Carther was unidentified in the record.76 Then, John himself dismissed a civil case against Thomas Mules, of which no details were given.77 There is no indication of where John was living within North Farnham Parish, or what he was doing to earn a living. However, he was not without funds, because on March 1st, 1727, John Spendergrass purchased two contiguous pieces of land on the branches of Totuskey Creek78 under the customary legal fiction of lease and release, which was the usual way around the requirement that in order to avoid fraud, land could not be bought without physically grasping a handful of dirt. from its premises.
On 1 March 1727. John Spendergrass for 5 shillings leased land from Lewis Pugh [both of Farnham Parish, Richmond County, as was the land] 50 acres beginning at a small red Oak at the head of a branch, running down the said branch So 5 deg East 80 pe to a stake in the angle of one white oak, one black gum and one spanish oak thence S 85 deg, W 80 pe to a stake in the angle of one white oak, one scrubbed oak and one chestnut, thence N 63 deg: west 65 pe to a spanish oak in the said Branham’s line thence along his line north [etc] on the branches of the Totuskey, together with houses, outhouses, orchards.79 The next entry in the deed book is the actual release deed in to John on March 3rd in return for 1,450 lbs of tobacco. The reference to houses, outhouses and orchards and so on appears to have been standard language and not an indication whether they existed on the land.
Two weeks later, on 16 March “ in the first year of the reign of our sovereign Lord George by the Grace of God King of Brittain, France and Ireland, Defender of the Faith”, John Spendergrass from Richd Branham Sr (both of parish of North Farnham, Richmond Co) for 600 lbs good sound merchantable tobacco, 25 acres, Pt of the tract whereon the sd Rich Branham now lives being granted to Leonard Jones by patent entered in the year 1662 and from him conveyed to the abovesaid Richard Branham [Bramham], South with the line of Bryant Sisson, Southerly with the land of John Spendergrass to his corner in the head of a branch on the sd Rich’d Branham’s land, thence northwest from the corner through Richard Bramham’s old feild [sic] to Sisson’s line together with houses, outhouses, orchards, etc . The deed was witnessed by Wm Walker and Eliz (X) Gill.80
The names of the adjacent neighbors, Bryant Sisson and Richard Branham, should be noted as possible evidence of migration by this group in later years.
Shortly afterward, on 3 April, John Spendergrass’ deed from Richard Branham Sr was recorded via a power of attorney to Benjamin Rust from Richard Branham Sr. acknowledging it because of Branham’s "being very sick and uncapable of appearing in person at Richmond court".81
Having acquired land, John had put himself in position to take a wife and make a home. On 2 December, 1728, John Spendergrass married Elizabeth Cribin and the marriage was duly recorded in the North Farnham Parish Register.82 Two children followed quickly, with the birth of James, son of John and Elizabeth Spendergrass (grandson of the James [Sr], who died in 1704), nephew of James [Jr], shoemaker apprentice) on 28 November 1729 recorded in the same register,83 and a daughter Mary, whose birth was not recorded there but who appeared twice in court records.84
Of importance to researchers is the formation of Lunenburg Parish from North Farnham and Sittingbourne in 1732, described as "…divided into two distinct parishes; by Totaskey, and the Cross Creek thereof, to Colonel John Tayloe’s mill, and up that mill branch, to the Forest-Quarter road, and by that road till it intersects with Westmoreland County, and that all that part of the said county of Richmond, which lies below the said bounds, shall…be… North Farnham; and all that other part of the said county which lies above those bounds, shall thereafter be called and known by the name of Lunenburg……"85 The Spendergrass land was located in the area which became Lunenburg Parish, and by good fortune, the Lunenburg Parish register has survived, though there are no further mentions of any(S)pendergrasses in it. The North Farnham and Lunenburg registers are most often published together and transcriptions can be found online as well as in libraries.
Prophetically, on 28 December, 1732, John Spendergrass witnessed the will of his friend Joshua Singleton.86 Other witnesses were Thos Dickenson and Mary (“M”) Thornton. Joshua Singleton of Richmond County, Parish of Lunenburg “being weak and sick, but of sound mind,” left to sons Robert and Stanley all his land in Prince William County, to son Joshua the plantation where he then lived in Richmond County. and made other devises. He directed that his children be kept in school, appointed his wife as executrix, which did not always happen, and directed that Benjamin Rust was to handle the children’s estate. There was no indication in the clerk’s copy of the will that John Spendergrass used a mark to sign as witness to his friend’s will. (Lest there be any temptation to create yet another fictional Spendergrass daughter, Joshua Singleton’s wife was born Anne Gower, daughter of Stanley Gower, Sr.)87
Whether they suffered from the same fatal ailment, or whether the death of his friend inspired him to do so is not known, but on January 19th, 1733, John Spendergrass, knowing he was soon to die, either dictated or wrote and executed the following most unusual and revealing last will and testament:
” I, John Spendergrass, County of Richmond, Lunenburg parish, being very sick and weak but of sound sence and memory, remembering the uncertainty of this frail life on earth and desirous to settle things in order, do make this my Last Will and Testament, in manner and form following, that is to say first I recommend my soul to almighty God through the mercy of Jesus Christ Amen and my body to be decently buried by my executrix hereafter named.
( Item) First, I give to my son James Spendergrass all my lands
( Item) Likewise I give to my son James Spendergrass my gun and [chest?]
(Item) I give to my daughter Mary my gold ring and trunk.
(Item) My will is that the rest of my estate be equally divided amongst my loving Wife and two children.
(Item) My will is if my wife do marry and by that marriage my children should be abused that then my will and desire is that my friend Robert Tomlin, if he pleases, do alter the same by making use of such means as he shall think proper to prevent such usage.
(Item) It is my will and desire that my loving Wife Elizabeth Spendergrass be my executrix to perform this my Last Will and Testament.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand, fixed my seal the day and year above written.
John Spendergrass [no indication of a mark in the clerk’s copy; the loose original will is missing]
Testes: Robert Tomlin, John Dozier88
The sensitive, touching provision concerning the possible abuse of his children by a prospective stepfather is, to say the least, quite rare, and what Robert Tomlin was supposed to do to prevent it is unknown and probably illegal. It raises the question of what sort of treatment John received at the hands of the Phillips family or what he may have seen in other local families. Clearly he had great affection for his two little children.
By 2 April of 1733, the brief life of John Spendergrass had ended and his will was admitted to probate, and an inventory submitted, but evidently not extant.89 On June 4th 1741, according to the court minutes, a second inventory was submitted90 but has not been located. [4-G]
After his death, the little family struggled on. Elizabeth stayed on or near the two parcels of land left to her toddler son, James [later, the Tailor], and paid a small debt in 1733 to the estate of Leonard Dozier, dec’d.91 She appeared on a rent roll of Lunenburg Parish (part of North Farnham until 1732) in 1744, as Elizabeth Spendergrass, taxed for one hundred acres worth of rent which was paid on her behalf by William Garland, a well-to-do neighbor.92 She was listed on the rent roll still as Spendergrass, though she had remarried a Medford by 1741.93 It is not known when the rent roll was taken or why someone else paid the rent for her. It does not appear to have been her minor son’s land, since her son James had inherited only 75 acres and had owned it outright. [Note: however, in 1751, James sold off first 10 and then 100 acres, more or less]. Both parcels of this inherited land were sold in 1751, by her son James [the Tailor], not his uncle, James [Jr, the shoemaker], reserving a life estate to her in her third of the property..94
It appears that the widowed Elizabeth Cribin (Spendergrass) married a Medford neighbor, with whom she shared a property line, by 1741, as she was called Elizabeth Medford when she was summoned to court as administratrix of her late husband John’s estate in 1741 and on 4 August returned to court with Thomas Thornton as her surety for her “just and faithfull administration of the estate of John Spendergrass, dec’d”.95 Henry Medford shared a property line with John’s land that his son James inherited, but Henry was deceased by 1741, his servants having previously complained so bitterly of ill treatment twice, that the court had ordered their indentures to be sold to someone else.96 Henry had minor children, but since no second marriage record for Elizabeth has been located, it is not known for certain which Medford she married. Also in 1741, Robert and Rachell, orphans of Henry Medford, dec’d, were ordered to be bound out by the church wardens, as they were deemed poor and likely to become an expense to the parish.97 Henry’s death appears to have caused a flurry of litigation among his adjacent neighbors, including one with Elizabeth’s still minor son, James [the Tailor].
In 1734, Colonel Landon Carter, Esquire, a wealthy and prominent gentleman, had begun to build a stately home and grounds called Sabine Hall in the Warsaw area of Richmond County. In 1743, at the age of 14, James Spendergrass, son of the late John and his widow Elizabeth Cribin, and grandson of James [Sr], was bound out to Colonel Carter to learn the trade of a tailor.98 [4-I] In the same year, the court had appointed John Brown as guardian [ad litem] of the minor James (son of John) and of the minor Elizabeth Wyatt, for legal purposes, with no particular reason stated in the record.99
On 8 March 1742, the Richmond County court recorded that Mary Pendergrass, a poor girl, was referred to the church wardens to be bound out according to law.100 [4-H] Her mother Elizabeth would have had no power to stop it had she wanted to do so. No further record has been found about John’s daughter Mary (S)pendergrass, grandaughter of the James [Sr, who died in 1704] indicating whether she was in fact bound out, and if so to whom, nor has any record been found of her marriage or death.
Meanwhile, in the early 1730s, as James [Jr] the orphaned son of James [Sr] was an adult raising a family with his wife Rebecca Unknown, and the widowed Elizabeth Cribin (Spendergrass) was left at least for a time to rear her two toddlers alone, new characters began entering the stage in the records of Richmond County.
The first mention of a Robert Spendergrass in Richmond County was in the North Farnham parish register when Robert Spendergrass and Elizabeth Unknown, his wife, listed the birth of their son John, born 10 December 1734.101 Robert’s parentage is unproven and he may or may not have been the same Robert born in Northumberland County in 1711 [23 in1734], the Robert born in Middlesex in1717 [17 in 1734], or the (much older and less likely) imported servant Robert who was born in 1661 [73 in 1734] and indentured in Westmoreland County in about 1678, but it is mathematically, geographically, and logically most likely that this Robert was the son of the James [Jr] who was born in 1692. There is no record indicating Robert’s birth, but in August 1737, James [Jr?] and Robert Spendergrass were joint defendants in a lawsuit.102 That the two of them shared a surname, lived in the same parish, and were sued together indicates some close familial relationship. Also, John Spendergrass, son of James [Sr] and beloved brother to James [Jr] had just died in the same parish the previous year, and Robert named his first son John.103
Robert and Elizabeth’s son John, born in December 1734, was just the right age to have been the “soldier” John who enlisted in the militia in adjacent Northumberland County at age 21, but there is no evidence whether he was or was not. [see further, infra]
Another newcomer to the Richmond County court records was Daniel Spendergrass, who first appeared as a defendant in a May 1736 lawsuit against him by a certain Watts, who obtained a judgment against Daniel on June 7th for 547 pounds of tobacco as recompense for some unspecified debt.104 Having been sued in his own right in 1736 indicates that Daniel was born no later than 1715, so it is also mathematically, geographically, and logically possible for him to have been the son of James [Jr], though again there is no record of his birth in the church register or other proof of his parentage. However, there was some close relationship between Daniel Spendergrass and Elizabeth Cribin (Spendergrass), widow of John, because Daniel’s answer to his debt problem was to go into court as a free adult that year and indenture himself voluntarily to Elizabeth’s next door neighbor, Tobias Purcell, for 6 years and 7 months in return for Purcell’s paying his debts.105 (When Elizabeth’s son James [the Tailor], grandson of James [Sr, who died 1704] later sold the land he inherited from his father John, deeds showed Tobias Purcell in the legal descriptions both as a buyer and an adjacent landowner.106)
On 28 January 1737 Robert Pendergrass executed a promissory “noate” to Joseph McGee for 294 pounds of tobacco, for which he was later sued,107 and August 1st, “ William Heartly his petition against James Pendergrass [Jr] and Robert Pendergrass for 628 pounds and 3/4 of tobacco upon balance of a bill dismist, the Plaintiff not prosecuting.”108 This James cannot have been James [Sr] who was long since dead, nor James his grandson, who was still a minor not yet bound out to Landon Carter, so possibilities are that this and other records in the next few years were of James [Jr] himself, then about 45 years old, or that he had a [purely hypothetical] son James [III?] whose birth was not registered with the church, or that yet another adult James Pendergrass had arrived from parts unknown, the latter less likely.
On February 28th of 1738 , James (“P”, his mark) Penderass [sic] and Jos Russell Jr witnessed a deed from Jeremiah Nash of Copely Parish in Westmoreland County, planter, to John McKenny of Lunenburg parish,109 fifty acres on one of the branches of Totuskey Creek, formerly known as Cross Creek. This James’ mark was a crude “P” and the name of his fellow witness Joseph Russell should be noted as someone this James knew in Richmond County for comparison to later possible associates elsewhere.
In the next few years, James [Jr?] and Robert were each in court several times as defendants sued by creditors. In 1739, Robert was sued by Joseph McGee through William McCall for the note he executed in 1737 and Robert not having appeared in court to defend, a judgment was entered for 236 pounds of tobacco.110 The next year he was sued again by Teleif Alverson, and again failed to appear, resulting in another judgment for 294 pounds of tobacco, for the balance of a 1739 note.111 In 1741, Robert was sued yet again by Teleif Alverson and lost for a judgment of 317 pounds of tobacco, costs, and one attorney’s fee, Teleif Alverson apparently having extended Robert more credit even after the first lawsuit.112
Daniel Hornby, Gent, wasted no time in suing James Spendergrass [Jr?] in October 1740 for a note “sealed with his seal” in August of that same year for 4 pounds 8 shillings 4 pence by his Writing Obligatory. James confessed the debt and was ordered to pay it with interest.113. [Note: The reference to a seal is not an indication one way or the other whether James possessed a physical seal and the reader should not form any grandiose assumptions about James’ social station. The “seal” was usually nothing more than a scribbled circle on the paper with the word “seal” written inside.]
In deference to our ancestors in general, though, it should be noted that such lawsuits were quite common and not an indication of any particular dishonor on the part of the debtor. It was customary to purchase supplies on account to be paid when the year’s crop came in, and it was understood to be something of a gamble for both parties. Most such debts were paid amicably at some point unless personal rancor became involved.
In 1748, during the time that James Spendergrass, grandson of James [Sr] was still a minor tailor’s apprentice and still bound out to Colo. Landon Carter, Edward Spencer, Gentleman, of Orange County, Virginia, deeded a hundred acres of land in Lunenburg Parish to Landon Carter of Richmond County, the land bounded by Benjamin Rust114, and others, and the following year, John Brown, acting as next friend of James Spendergrass, (grandson of James [Sr]) still a minor, sued Benjamin Rust as executor of an unnamed estate, with no further details given.115 From other court records [infra] it is likely that the estate was that of deceased neighbor, Henry Medford who shared a property line with the Spendergrass family’s land on or near where Elizabeth Cribin (Spendergrass) (Medford) was still living at least until after 1744, when William Garland paid rent on one hundred acres on her behalf.116 Evidently, either William Garland, a prominent neighbor, still thought of her as Spendergrass or the rent roll had not been updated since her remarriage to a Medford neighbor.
Also in 1748, on March 4th, William Northen of Richmond County and Parish of Lunenburg, Planter, deeded to Tobias Purcell the same County and Parish, Planter, and his heirs forever all that piece or parcel of land situate, lying and being in the aforesaid County and Parish containing by estimation fifteen acres be the same more or less: Beginning at a corner hickory to Purcell and Thrifts, from thence along a line of marked trees to a corner red oak standing near the head of a branch, from thence along a line of marked trees that divides the said land of Medford and Spendergrass to a black oak standing in the edge of an old fieald formally known by the name of Linches Old Field, and from thence to Purcell's line Signed, sealed and delivered by William Northen in presence of William Garland,,Jeremiah Brown, Andrew Anderson, John Purcell, Junior.117 This entry makes plain that while James was in servitude to Colonel Carter, whether he was living on the land he inherited or not, this adjacent parcel was still owned by him and was still known as Spendergrass land. Elizabeth Cribin (Spendergrass), James the tailor’s mother, was taxed for rent in 1744118and was still living there or nearby in 1751 when the land was sold.119
It is not known whether James [Jr] and his family were living on the land with Elizabeth while her son James was becoming trained as a tailor. There is no record indicating that they were, but likewise no surviving record indicating a land purchase or rent payment by James [Jr] and Rebecca in Richmond County. Daniel Spendergrass indentured himself voluntarily to Tobias Purcell, next door.120
The stately Sabine Hall is currently in private hands and the published diaries of Colonel Landon Carter121 shed no light on anything concerning James’ training or servitude or whether it took place there. All that is known is that he did become a tailor by 1751, at a time when all cutting and sewing had to be done manually. Colonel Carter himself seems to have had a taste for fussy clothing with lacy frills at neck and wrist, but there is no way of knowing whether James had a hand in their making or whether he was relegated to more mundane tasks.
1750/1 would normally have been the end of James Spendergrass’ servitude to Landon Carter, and in 1751 James, by then 21 and acting for himself, sold the two pieces of land he had inherited as a toddler from his father John in 1733, reserving a life estate in her widow’s third for his mother, who by then was at least in her forties.122 Both deeds out specified that the seller was James Spendergrass, “Taylor”, and it was he who inherited this land from his father John, and only he who had the right to sell it, not his uncle James [Jr] who had apprenticed as a shoemaker. A reading of John’s 1733 will makes quite plain the identity of this James, regardless of what may have been published elsewhere.
In 1751, 6th of May, James Spendergrass, of Lunenburg Parish, Taylor, (24th year of Lord King George II) sold 10 acres of land to Tobias Purcell, Planter, same parish, for 3lbs 15 shillings current Va money, From a red oak by the side of a road that leads to Capt Thomas Barber’s on the west side thence running along a line of Benjamen Bramham’s to a corner red oak thence along a line that divides this land and some other land of Purcell’s to a corner black oak thence along another line of the sd Purcell’s to a corner white oak in a bottom near the head of a branch thence along a line of Henry Medford, dec’d to a corner oak by the aforesaid road thence along the sd road to the beginning. Witnesses: Robt. Smith, John Purssell, Wm. Garland.123
Also in 1751, 4 August, James Spendergrass, Taylor, sold land to George Ball, Gent. both of Lunenburgh parish, for the sum of 13 pistoles, 100 acres of land more or less, on the branch of Totuskey Creek “except my mother’s third of the land during her life” Beg at a corner in the line of Benjamin Branham on the east side of a main road that leads to Capt Thomas Barber’s and running along the line of the said Branham’s to the land of John Norton[Northen],to the land of Daniel Lawson [Sisson?] thence along the line of the said Lawson to the land of Henry Medford, dec’d, to the afors’d road thence along the sd road its several courses to the Beg. Witnesses:Wm.Garland,Wm.Thrift,Wm.Jacobs124
Both deeds out were witnessed by neighbor William Garland, who had paid the taxes for Elizabeth Spendergrass’ land in 1744.
James signed both these deeds with the mark “J”, and no record of him or of any other (S)pendergrass in Richmond County thereafter has been found. A diligent search for a direct male Spendergrass descendant in or from Richmond County, or the Northern Neck of Virginia, has turned up no one appropriate for YDNA testing, or in fact anyone at all. It appears from later records, that the remnants of this family, at least James [Jr] and (briefly) Daniel, may have moved west into Stafford and Spotsylvania counties. [see Chapter 6 ]. It is not known where James Spendergrass [the Tailor] went, if anywhere, after selling the land in 1751, or what happened to Robert Spendergrass and Elizabeth Unknown, or their son John who may or may not have become the “Soldier” John who enlisted in the Northumberland County militia at age 21. Likewise, there is no record of marriage or death for James [Jr]’s daughters Eleanor and Winnfred, or for his brother John’s daughter Mary, born about 1731.
G. The Northumberland County Group
The first Pendergrass of record in Northumberland County, Virginia, was named John and was born sometime before 1676, because he was litigating as an adult by 1699, but it is not known where or when he was born. He executed a promissory note to Sam’ll Churchill for 800 pounds of tobacco in 1699125 and was sued in his own right and filed suits against others as reported in the Northumberland County court order books many times before his death in 1715.[see below] His constant litigation in Northumberland County far up on the Northern Neck of Virginia makes it plain that he cannot also have been the John of New Kent County who married a different woman, Jane Pleasants, in Henrico County in 1709126. The Northumberland court records reflect:
1699, 23 Nov John Gethlin dismissed a suit against John Pendergrass

1713, 15 July. John Pendergrass confessed judgment unto John Cralle, Gent. for payment of 500 lbs tobacco due by bill dated 17 Apr 1710 .John Pendergrass ordered to pay same.
1714 Return of execution 24 May issued against the body of John Pendergrass [note: from contemporaneous records, it was apparently customary to put debtors in jail nights until their debts were paid. At the very least, John was brought into court physically]
1715, 20 July, John Pendergrass had died intestate and his estate was being administered. His widow was named Elizabeth, and his greatest creditor, Henry Hutson, was appointed administrator by the court. There was no mention of children in the several court records about the estate.
During this time, another adult Pendergrass male, Peter, born no later than 1687, was briefly litigating in the Northumberland County court, as well:
1708, 21 May Peter Pendergrass suit against Jos Heath dismissed
1709 21 Sep Thos Brome suit against Peter Pendergrass brought into court [copied twice by clerk]
1709 21 Sep Peter Pendergrass dismisses his suit against Rochard Dinsley
No other surviving record about Peter Pendergrass has been found, and like John Pendergrass, there is no evidence of his parentage, origins, connections, or subsequent location.
In the Saint Stephen’s parish church register, there were two, and only two, Pendergrass births recorded, with no mention of either parent or any explanation of the omission.127The births were recorded in reverse order by the same hand, indicating that they were both recorded at once but some time after the actual births. Robert Pendergrass was listed as born December 8th, 1711 and William was born May 14th, 1714.3D This is all the information ever given about these two brothers in Northumberland County and they were not mentioned in the numerous court records concerning the death of John Pendergrass the following year. It has been assumed by other authors that John Pendergrass must have been the father of these two boys “since he was the only adult male in the area”,128 but of course this assumption cannot be made. First, there was Peter Pendergrass, another adult male, roaming about the courthouse in 1708/9,129 and second, there could also have been any number of adult Pendergrass men who never appeared in public records or whose records did not survive. Lastly, there is the possibility that the boys were born elsewhere and their births recorded when someone who lived remotely was able to travel to a church. The fact that John Pendergrass died in 1715 and no further births of Pendergrass children were recorded is suggestive, but not conclusive, particularly since the births were not recorded as they occurred.
It should also be noted that the Saint Stephen’s parish register commences in 1661 and ends in 1810 and that the births of these two brothers in 1711 and 1714 are the only mentions of anyone named Pendergrass in the entire register. Any postings elsewhere of any other people assumed to have been born, married, or deceased in Northumberland County besides these two births and John’s 1715 death (which definitely occurred there but was not listed in the register) are completely unsubstantiated.
Whether these two baby boys are the very same Robert and/or William who were found in Orange and Old Granville Counties, North Carolina, respectively, after a forty year time gap is an open question. There is no documentary evidence proving that they were, and later YDNA testing has shown that the descendants of men associated with William and Mary in Old Granville and the descendants of Robert’s apparent son or brother William Sr in Orange are not at all a match. Therefore, either one of these families had a “non-paternity” before 1730 or at least one of the two baby brothers was not the same man of the same name who came into North Carolina counties (Robert to Orange and William to Granville) to settle. More detailed discussion of this very important issue follows in Chapter 6.
What is known from solid evidence, though, is that some John Pendergrass, birth place and date unknown, had died in Northumberland County by 1715, leaving widow Elizabeth130, and since the bevy of lawsuits stopped in its tracks thereafter, it seems safe to conclude that the John who died was the one who was constantly sued as a debtor. Misinterpretation and misapplication of these records abound online and in other publications, however, so the court orders are presented in detail here:
On the 20th of July 1715, the estate of John Pendergrass was ordered to be administered by Henry Hutson, not because he was related to John by blood or marriage, but because he was John’s greatest creditor, laying to rest any idea that Henry Hutson must have married a fictional daughter of John and Elizabeth’s. This record appeared in Order Book A 1713-1749, but the will book itself is missing. The court order reads as follows:
“Northumberland County the 20th day of July Anno Domini 1715. Henry Hutson,greatest creditor of Jno Pendergrass deced came into court and made oath that the sd Jno Pendergrass departed this life without making any will so far as he knows or believes and on his motion and giving security, for his full and faithfull admon of the sd deced’s estate, Certificate is granted him for obtaining letters of admon pro forma.131 [3-C]
In the same Order Book and year on page 128, several more orders were recorded132 [3-C], some of them very dark or faded and quite difficult to read but transcribed as best they can be, as follows:
Judgment is granted Elizabeth the relict of John Pendergrass, dec’d against his estate for funeral charges for the sum of one hundred and sixty pounds tob, and ordered that Henry Hutson administrator of the said deceased pay the same out of the said deceased’s estate, with costs als execution
Henry Hutson, administrator of Jno. Pendergrass dec’d having exhibited an inventory and appraisement, of the sd dec’d’s estate, upon his oath into this court on the motion of the sd administrator the same is admitted to record .
Henry Hutson having made oath in Court that the estate of Jno Pendergrass dec’d is indebted to him for the ballance of three years rent, Clk’s fees and 160 pounds tobacco [Agnst?] judgment this day obtained against him by the relict [Elizabeth] of the sd Jno a sheet to bury him and the ballance of all other accounts the sums of 1662 pounds of tobacco. It is ordered that he be allowed the same out of the sd decd’s estate in [mony and/or shillings and certified?] according to the appraisement with costs alias execution.
Jno Cralle, gent. having obtained a judgment against Jno Pendergrass dated the 15th of July 1713 and taken execution thereon amounting with costs 605 pounds tobacco and having brought scire facias to this court agt Henry Hutson to show reason (if any such) why the sd judgment may not be renewed and noe cause appearing to the contrary, the sd judgment is renewed hereby and ordered that Henry Hutson administrator of the sd Jno Pendergrass pay the sd sum of 605 pounds of tobacco unto the sd Jno Cralle out of the sd decd’s estate with costs als execution.133
It should be noted here once again that the widow of this John Pendergrass is named Elizabeth, not Jane, and that British Isles people of the time hardly ever had middle names before 1800. Further, this cannot be the same John of New Kent County who was married to Jane (not Anne)Pleasants in Henrico in 1709, as this John was litigating continuously in Northumberland in the far Northern Neck from 1699 to his death in 1715 with no time out to be John “of New Kent County” in 1709.134 Another fault in logic printed elsewhere and on many websites is that Northumberland John not only was the same person as New Kent County John who married in 1709 but also had (fictional) married daughters in Northumberland by 1715 (who if they had existed at all would have been at most six years old).
A search of available records from 1735 to 1856 turned up no marriage bonds in Northumberland County for Pendergrass or Spendergrass, and after John Pendergrass’ estate was settled in 1715, the court order books and other public records were silent as to any Pendergrass until the 1750s.
Then, on 8 April 1754, Hannah Deputy Pendergrass with all three names written out clearly and in full, was ordered to be paid a witness fee by Turner of 103 lbs of tobacco for 1 day’s attendance 26 miles each way at court in the assault and battery case of William Turner vs. Bennit. (This unusual entry for a woman was plainly written and verified in detail from a clear, microfilmed image.)135
On March 14th,1757, some John Pendergrass appeared in court and agreed “to serve John Wilkins the space of 4 yrs in consideration of which the sd Wilkins is to learn him the trade of a carpenter and to find him sufficient clothing.” 136 To have done so on his own as an adult, John would have had to have been born by 1736 or earlier. However, a boy could consent to an apprenticeship at about age 14, and if this were the case, he could have been born as late as1743.
Whether these two people were related, and their origins, ages, and parentage are all unknown. It was very unusual for any non-European at the time to have had a middle name of any kind, not to mention one that was likely a surname from a birth family or a prior marriage. In general, a servant could not marry without consent from the master, and to go into servitude by choice normally required the prospective servant or apprentice to be at least 14 years of age. It is dangerous, therefore, to make assumptions about these two people and their relationship to one another, if any, no matter how tempting it is to make them.
Also, it was not unheard of for a master to rent out a servant for military service, even contrary to a legal agreement to teach him a particular trade.
Next of record in Northumberland, though he wasn’t later stationed there, was the John Pendergrass who has been nicknamed “Soldier” John by genealogists to distinguish him from the many other men of that name. A reliable published secondary source, Colonial Soldiers of the South 1732-1774,137 outlines the activities of this John, who called himself a Planter by trade, and showed that he enlisted in Northumberland County, at age 21, but the location of his birth was not given and was not necessarily Northumberland County.
It has been assumed at times that this John is the same person as “Wake” John of old Granville, Warren and Wake counties, and this assumption accounts for “Wake” John’s birth year so often having been given as 1634 or 5, like “Soldier” John’s. As enticing as this assumption is, especially with such personal detail given about “Soldier” John, it is unlikely that these two Johns were the same person. Later research has shown that “Wake” John was probably born before 1635, but more importantly, a John appeared consistently on old Granville North Carolina tax lists commencing no later than 1757138, while “Soldier” John was still in military service in Fort Hopewell, Virginia through 1758.139
Although there is no proof that “Soldier” John was the same person as the John Pendergrass born to Robert Pendergrass and Elizabeth Unknown in Richmond County on 10 December 1734.140 their ages were very close. Richmond County John, born 10 December 1734, would have turned 21 at the end of 1755 and have been 21 for nearly all of 1756. His exact enlistment date and location were not given.
This is what was preserved of his military record:141
1757 August. Jno. Pendergrass on size roll of Capt. Thomas Waggener’s company, age 21, height 5’3”, Country: Virginia, Planter, enlisted Northumberland County, Ft Holland on the south branch [p 463]
1757 Sept 14, John Pendergrass #21 Virginia militia, Capt Thos Waggener’s Co [p 467]
1757 John Pendergrass issued military items - uniform, weapons, etc. [p 473]
1757 Dec 4 , Jo.n [sic] Pendergrass. on necessary roll of Thos Waggener’s Co.[p 482]
1757 Sept. John Pendergrass “ret.” [p 488]
1757 John Pendergrass, private, Thos Waggener’s Co [p490]
1758 Mar.1st John Pendergrass, at Fort Hopewell on the S branch [p 493]
1758 Apr. 1st, John Pendergrass on necessary roll, Fort Hopewell [p 494]
Fort Holland was on the south branch of the Potomac River near Cumberland, Maryland. Fort Hopewell was near Petersburg, Virginia and the conflict involved was known in the colonies as the French and Indian War.142 General George Washington ordered a series of forts to be built to a specific set of plans to help protect the settlers, Fort Holland and Fort Hopewell among them.143
Contrary to popular belief, The French and Indian War (1754–1763),[La Guerre de la Conquête], was not fought by the French against the Indians (or even vice versa !). It was the North American theater of the worldwide Seven Years’ War and was fought a few years before the American Revolution between the still British colonists and those of New France, with the help of Great Britain for its colonies and with New France having support from both its mother country and from alliances with Native Americans.144 Without their Indian allies, the French colonists were outnumbered more than two to one.145 After numerous smaller conflicts, the French and American colonists declared war on each other in 1756, with much of the same area along the frontiers in dispute then as later in the War of 1812.146 Although the war ranged from Virginia to Nova Scotia, the first real violence, over control of certain river rights, occurred in May 1754 when a young George Washington and his Virginia militiamen ambushed a French patrol at the battle of Jumonville Glen, Pennsylvania,147 in May, 1754.
As Captain Thomas Waggener was in command of various troops at various locations during the War, it is not known whether this John Pendergrass saw battle, and it is not currently known what happened to “Soldier” John after April 1st 1758. There is further discussion of him in Chapter 6, Unsolved Mysteries.
H. Edward Pendergrass, the Middlesex County Group
The first mention of a Pendergrass in Middlesex county was in 1701 when Edward Pendergras was indentured to John Lohie.14 Adjudged by the Middlesex County Court to have been 13 years of age, he was born about 1688, and nothing more is known of his parentage or origins. In fact, he appears to have been listed as an orphan, meaning that he was fatherless, yet another reason that he could not have been the son of James [Sr] of Richmond County who was still living through most of 1704. Edward would still have been a minor about 16 years of age when James[Sr] died, but there is no mention of him in those copious court records.
Edward is listed and the order is quoted in the Immigrant Servants database149, indicating that it was thought he was an immigrant, but no record of his actual transportation has been found, only his indenture to Lohie, which normally would have occurred shortly after his arrival.
In 1711, on February 26th, when this Edward would have been about 23, an Edmund Prendergast married Elizabeth Hickey, apparent daughter of John Hickey,150 and when Elizabeth’s father died in March of 1713, Edw [sic] Pendergrass and Elizabeth were court ordered to give new security for administering John Hickey’s estate 151 and a lawsuit against them by Kidd et al was continued for that purpose. In the church and court records, “Edmund” and “Edward” and abbreviations for them were used interchangeably.
On 15 September 1715, some Mary Pendergrass died and was buried on the 17th, according to the Christ Church Parish register.152 There is no information as to her age, marital status, or whether Pendergrass was her maiden or married name. There is nothing to connect her to a different church parish attended by the Richmond County Spendergrass family up on the Northern Neck, or to any of the other known Virginia groups. Among the many possibilities are that she was an infant daughter of Edward Pendergrass and some earlier wife, or that she was an earlier wife of Edward or some other Pendergrass, or that she was recently imported into the colonies, or that she came in from somewhere else in Virginia, or that some other entirely different explanation exists. There is no way to know, and no assumptions should be made about her from this scant final record, which places her in Middlesex County and nowhere else.
There follow a very few Middlesex County court records and a somewhat confusing array of church parish records. On March 6th, 1716, an action of debt was filed by some John Pendergrass in the Middlesex County Court against Robert Dudley, Defendant.153 The case was dismissed when neither party appeared. To have litigated in court in 1716, this John would have had to have been born at least by 1695, too early to have been Richmond County John Spendergrass. Moreover, two months later on May 2nd, 1716, this John married Mary Alford,154 distinguishing him further from the Richmond County John Spendergrass who married Elizabeth Cribin there in 1728.
On 29 July 1717, an Elizabeth Pendergrass died and was buried two days later, again with no way of knowing her age or marital status.155 However, Edmund Pendergrass had married Elizabeth Hickey, and by December 10th of that very same year, a Robert Pendergrass was born to Edmund/Edward and Mary Pendergrass and baptized on January 4th.156 It is unknown whether this is the same Edmund/Edward or whether there were in fact two. The Edmund who married in 1711 would not have had time to have an adult son by 1717, so the situation is puzzling indeed.
Even if he had lived there, this Robert, born to Edmund and Mary in 1717 would have been very young to be the Robert of Richmond County who had a child with wife Elizabeth in 1734, unless he was married and fathered a child at age 16, and of course he cannot be the same Robert born to unknown parents in Northumberland County, Virginia in 1711.
More events open to several interpretations were recorded in Middlesex County Christ Church parish register in 1718.157 On 29 January, a John Pendergrass died and was buried January 31st.158 In April, on the 25th, John Pendergrass, son of John and Mary [Alford?] Pendergrass was born, but not baptized until June 1st.159 Since neither John was mentioned again in the Christ Church register, it is reasonable to conclude that the John who died in January was the father of the child Mary [Alford?] delivered three months after his death, but this is not the only possible explanation. By 1720, a Mary Pendergrass who may or may not have been John’s apparent widow Mary Alford, had married Patrick Knight in Christ Church Parish on January 12th.160 It is not known what happened to the John Pendergrass born 25 April, 1718, who could have been any or none of the John Pendergrasses who appeared in Virginia and North Carolina later.
Meanwhile, Mr. James Walker was repaid by the Parish Vestry for collecting an overdue levy from Edward (or one of the Edward/Edmunds) in 1719,161 but sometime between then and 28 March 1729, Edward had died with his death unrecorded in the Christ Church (or any other extant) parish register and Mary Pendergrass, widow of Edward, had remarried Edward Bussey and was residing in Westmoreland county.162 Another question arises as to whether Edward and his wife (or his widow) passed through Richmond County on the way to Westmoreland or whether these are two different Edward/Edmunds altogether.
It is also barely possible that the Edward/Edmund Pendergrass in Richmond County was part of the Richmond County Spendergrass family all along and not connected with the Middlesex group, but if so there is no mention of him in any record until 1723 or in any record about James [Sr]’s estate. Richmond County, across the Rappahannock River from Middlesex County, is on the way to Westmoreland.
It is important to remember that a claim against someone’s “estate” in the 1700s did not mean that the person was dead, and the wording of some of the lawsuits can be tricky to interpret for that reason. Normally, if a person had died, the court record clearly indicated that the person was “dec’d” and that was not done here, but there was something subtly odd about the wording of the creditor’s having been “paid from the estate” and the claim having been filed and served “against the estate of Edw.” instead of just filed and served “against Edw.”.163 This, together with his widow’s remarriage and having the same name as Edward’s wife in Christ Church parish suggests that he was deceased sometime after 1723 and that he was living in Westmoreland County when he died. There is no notation that he was deceased in the Richmond County orders, nor is the name of his wife or widow given. Either way, if he was Edward of Middlesex and was not already dead by the end of 1723, his days were surely numbered.
On 26 March 1723, Edw Pendergrass’s estate was attached by Newman Brockenbrough and the claim continued to next court.164 On the next page on the same date, there is the following entry:
Obtained by Thomas Samford from Charles Colston, Gent., one of his Majesty’s Justices of the Peace for this County against the estate of Edw Pendergrass for 300 lbs of __? tobacco and rent; being ret’d served on the sd Pendergrass’ estate by Wm Hill Sf and the said Pendergrass being now called and not appearing, on the motion of the plaintiff, judgment is granted him Against the Estate of the sd Pendergrass for 790 pounds tobacco., makeing oath in Court it is justly due and costs alias execution. The said return is admitted to record and is as followeth: “Richmond Js, In obedience to the written [precept?] I went to the estate of Edward Pendergrass which is within mentioned and did attach the articles below mentioned and had the same valued and delivered the same into the custody of Samuell Samford for which things I have his receipt which things in his hands doe lye Secured for appraisment after further proceedings Viz; To One Cow with Calfe, to one yearling, to 7 barrells, of Indian Corne atteached by Wm Hill Sf the 26th March 1723. Which particulars it is ordered that the Sheriff of this county cause to be appraised by three men they being first sworn before a magistrate of this county and that he deliver the same, or soe much thereof to the said Thomas Samford as will satisfye the said judgment and costs “.165
Newman Brockenbrough’s claim against the estate of Edw Pendergrass was then continued166 and on December 5th, 1723 his claim against the estate of Edw Pendergrass was granted and it was ordered that he be paid from the estate (the previously seized cow, calf, and corn.)167
By 28 March, 1729, Edward was decidedly dead and his widow Mary had remarried and relocated with her new husband to nearby Westmoreland County. Edward Bulger had agreed to act as security for the administration of Edward’s estate, but in October of 1728 had expressed concern to the Westmoreland County Court that he would be held liable for the new couple’s embezzlement of Edw.’s estate, as follows:
Edward Bulger by his pet. to October Court Last therein Sett forth that he being security for Mary Pendergrass due admn. of the Est. of her dec. husband Edward Pendergrass and the sd Mary being Marryed again to one Edward Bussey who together with the said Mary had Imbezld a Great part of the sd Decd. Est. for which the plt. was Security so that he was likely to be assest Sufferrer whereupon a summons Issued which being by the Sheriff returned served and now at this Court the said Bussey and Mary his wife not appearing or anyone for them It is ordered that Edmund Bulger Take possession and have in his Custody what of the Est of the sd Edward Pendergrass is now left or can be found for and towards Indemnifing the sd petitionr. from his Securitiship as aforesaid.168
The Order Book for cases between1740 to 1745 in Middlesex Co is negative for any mention of Pendergrasses, and no further mention has been found of Edward or his livestock and Indian Corn, or his embezzled estate in Richmond or Westmoreland County records.
I. Michael, Rebecca and John Pendergras of New Kent and Henrico Counties 1709
[Note: Until 1752, the Quakers used a calendar year of their own which commenced with March as month one, so this marriage actually occurred on February 9th rather than December 9th 1709 O.S/Julian. or 22 February 1709 N.S./Gregorian.]
Herewith, the entire record concerning this six person family unit:
“John Pendergras the sone of Michale Pendergras and Rebecca : he being of New Kent County and Christian; the daughter of John Pleasants and Dorothy, Jane of the Henrico county did publish their marriage at a meeting of men and women friends at the hose [sic] of her father in the county aforesd on the twelfth day of the Eleventh month last past. And coming before the meeting the second time in her father’s howse they did publish their marriage againe on the Ninth day of this instant month and were married in the howse of her father on the Ninth day of the Twelft month in the yeare 1709.169
Please note carefully: There is no maiden name given for Rebecca and no reason to believe it was Bolling or any other particular name. There is no tie to Pocahontas [See Ch 3,B, supra]. The bride’s name was Jane, not Anne, and her parents were John and Dorothy Pleasants, not Joseph and Jane [Larcome] as has been written elsewhere and posted repeatedly online. There is nothing to indicate the parentage of Michael or Rebecca or their origins, birth years, or other children or kin. The surname Pleasants has nothing to do with the many babies in the many families across the nation who were first-named Pleasant in the hope that the child would in fact have a pleasant disposition, just as female babies were often named Piety, Patience, Prudence, Charity or Temperance in hope that they would possess those traits.
There is no indication of what happened to these young people after their marriage, whether they stayed in Henrico County where the bride’s Quaker family lived, or she went with the groom to New Kent County where his family lived. New Kent County is a “burned” county with very few records extant, so chances of ever finding out what happened to this couple are slim. There is no further trace of them in Henrico records, nor, despite the specific cite to a book and page of The Curles Quaker Meeting House Records, can the original marriage document be located. It is clear that the transcriber of the record was physically viewing it, though, as that person mis-transcribed the thorn symbol “ ye ” (pronounced “the”) as “ye”, so the original document contained that symbol and the transcriber was looking at it while faithfully making the transcription.
There is also no evidence whatsoever that this couple migrated up to Northumberland County or that the groom became the John Pendergrass who was already litigating there by 1699 and who died there in 1715 leaving a widow named Elizabeth, not Jane. Middle names were exceedingly rare in the British Isles population until well after the Revolution, so she was not “Elizabeth” Jane Pleasants and efforts to implant this couple into Northumberland County with a (fictional) married daughter only 7 years after their wedding are not remotely credible. There is no reason to think that this couple did not live out a long quiet life in New Kent or Henrico County, and equally no reason to think they didn’t die in the next cold winter. If they left descendants, there is no trace of them in the records and no known connection to other Pendergrass groups, though it is certainly possible they had children who survived.
This tiny family unit simply existed in one place for one day on one record and then was lost.
J. The Stafford/Spotsylvania/Orange County Group
A few words about Stafford County Pendergrasses are in order here, although they have only an apparent and not yet proven connection backward to Richmond County and forward to Spotsylvania, and Orange Counties, Virginia.
In Richmond County, the tradesman or servant class James Spendergrass family lived and attended church in close proximity to Thorntons, Russells, Grimes, Sissons, Branhams, and certain other prominent families, and in later years wherever Pendergrasses were found in these three Virginia Counties, there were Thorntons nearby. A deeper and more detailed exploration of this migration is given in a later chapter, but here only the bare, documented facts are outlined.
In 1724, a James Pendergrass was listed in Overwharton Parish of Stafford County as a planter who tended 5,210 tobacco plants for that growing season.170 Although some lists for that year do indicate the ages of minors as well as the number of titheable males in the household, there was only one adult titheable, himself, listed for James. The land was located between Aquia and Quantico, Virginia, and there was no indication whether James owned or leased it other than the fact that no deed in to him for that land has been located. The following year, some John and James Pendergrass, both listed as “of Stafford County” were jointly granted 140 acres of land on Town Run (a watercourse) in an exquisitely penned formal document,171 but for reasons unspecified, this grant was never perfected and the land was re-granted almost immediately to someone else.
All that can be stated with certainty about this John and James is that each was supposed by law to have been 21 years of age or older to obtain the land, and therefore each should have been born no later than 1703/4. No further record of them in Stafford County has been found, and although the Overwharton parish register is extant, with a few scant entries from those very early years, they were not in it. Not far away, though, were John Grimes, Bryant Sisson, familiar Thorntons, and Captain William Russell, whose names should be noted for later discussion, particularly that of the rascally William Russell.
John and James [Jr], the orphans of the James [Sr] who died in 1704 Richmond County, were both born prior to 1704 and would have been old enough to have bought the land, but other factors must be considered before assuming that they were the ones who did.
Here we shall leave John and James suspended for the moment and leap forward in time some 25 years to a singular, colorful entry in Stafford in 1752, about the scalawag, Garrett Pendergrass, whose connections are unknown except that the entry states he had a wife and children at the time of his alleged outrageous conduct. (This is the same Garrett Pendergass [sic] of Bedford County, Pennsylvania fame.)
Ten years earlier, in nearby Orange County, on 16 February 1742, a Garrett Pendergrass had been sued by Abraham Stricklin/Strickler for Trespass172 and the case came to court again on June 25th.173 Finally, the suit in assumpsit (breach of contract) was dismissed. Service of process could not be executed because by then Garrott/Gerrard was living in Frederick County.174
Then, in 1752 in Stafford County, the following appeared on the back of a survey sheet:
Major Lawrence Washington of Fairfax Co, assignee (in 1752) of Garriot Pendergrass and Colo. Michael Cresup; no war't, surved N d.; Two surveys, one for Cresup & one for Pendergrass, are on one page. Each contained 371 acres and were platted together. Land on N Branch of Potomack. CC-John Miller and Wm Smith. Survey Guy Broadwater. [Major Lawrence Washington was the younger half brother of the George Washington who later became President]
In Guy Broadwater's handwriting on verso of survey, undated: "The complaint of Abner Anderson against Garriot Pendergrass that he built a hous & Cleared a plantation Garriot Pendergrass Sold his place for fivety pounds and he & his Wife & Children Came to My hous for then they had now place to put there heads In & Itt Rained then I told him that he was Welcome to Such ass I had [until] he Could provide a place for him Selph two or three days after that I goes Out About my Business & my Wife had Som Ocation to Go out of ye [pronounced “the”] dore then this Pendergrass Shut ye dore & Swore She Nor hur husband Should never Come into ye hous again then I Came home to ye hous & Abraham Richardson. He stands in ye dore Whith an axx in his hand & Swore a bitter Oath that If I Offered to Step One foot farther he would Splitt my Branes Open I steped Up to ye dore he up Whith ye axx and If itt had not abin for Abraham Richardson Cetched hold of ye axx he would have bin ass good ass his Word to Splitt my Brains Open & I never Could gitt Into my hows again In a Short time he Sells that plantation for Sixty pound then he watched Coll. Cresup Son after he had built a hous & Swore he would Splitt Any Body Brains Out that Offered to Com there Any More I doe be Leave there could nott be Less than fourty people & all whith One accord said they Believed that there was Nott Such an Roge to be found in ye Countery."175
This is the last mention of a Garrett Pendergrass found in the area, and by the early 1760s he had returned to and rebuilt his trading outpost, inn and tavern known simply as “Pendergass’s” in the former Raystown, in Bedford County, Pennsylvania.176 For more about the roguish Garrett, see Chapter 6G.
We turn now to Spotsylvania County, formed in 1721 from Essex, King and Queen, and King William Counties, and named for Colo Alexander Spotswood, who owned vast tracts of land, plantations, and settlements in the area and who in 1710 was lieutenant governor of Virginia.177 Spotswood, among his many other explorations and exploits, caused the Pirate Blackbeard to be killed in a clandestine raid in November 1718.178
In 1725, July 25th, an indenture was made between William Russell late of the Co of King and Queen, Par of Drysdales, now of Co of Spotsylvania, Parish of St George, deeding to Thos Chew 614 acres on the branches of the Mallapony River at Warner’s River adj land of Augustus Smith of Glouster Co,; the original grant was to Augustus Warner, Esq. Dec’d and land of Alexr Spotswood, Esq., Nicolas Hawkins, Robert Huckson, then occupied by Thos Chew.179 William Russell, Gentleman (by title if not conduct), who came into Spotsylvania from King and Queen County, and Alexander Spotswood, the former governor with his vast holdings, and Francis Thornton, Gentleman, were important individuals in the lives of the (S)pendergrasses in Spotsylvania and Orange Counties, Virginia.
According to Spotsylvania court records, on June 4th, 1728, James Pendergrass, shoemaker, servant to Alexander Spotswood, was brought into court as a witness in a criminal theft case against Joseph Marsh, who had stolen from fellow servants, including breaking into James’ own shop. Among items taken in the theft from James were two pairs of shoes and a jacket. James was required to post a witness appearance bond, with John Grime/Grame/Graham, Gentleman, as his bondsman, because “ the next ct of Oyer and Terminer being so nigh at hand and this court so farr distance being impossible to have tryed there and at that time.” 180
In November of that same year, 1728, a John Pendergrass, whose exact relationship to James, although circumstantially close, is not known, was indicted by the grand jury for “not attending his parish church or chapell two months last past”181 On December 5th, he came again to the attention of the court for not having attended church in September and October, and a court date was set for his trial in February of the following year. Although he had appeared personally in court on 7 November to confess a 500 pound debt to John Hopper, due per obligation, which he was court-ordered to pay together with an attorney’s fee,182 John failed to appear in February 1728/9 to defend himself regarding his failed church attendance for two months. However, thanks to the testimony of Samuel Wright, he was fined for only one month’s failure to attend.183 Who Samuel Wright was or what excuse he made for John was not made part of the record, and freedom of (or from) religion was still many years away.
John [the Carpenter] continued to be found often in Spotsylvania and Orange public records, usually near or within the same small pool of familiar names:
1729, 4 Feb, An action brought by Wm Russell, executor for estate of Wm Thompson dec’d, to collect a debt owed to the estate by John Pendergrass, but on the motion of the plaintiff [Wm Russell] John Pendegrass was “granted special bail and James Mack Cullow [McCullough/Micall] came into court and assumed to be the defendant’s special bail. Afterwards, the Deft pleaded payment which issue the Plaintiff joyned & the same is referred to the next court for tryall”184
1729, 4 March John Pendegrass failed to appear in the suit by the estate of Wm Thompson, dec’d.; Judgment for 660 pounds tobo. William Russell was still executor of Thompson’s estate.185
1729, 6 May, John Pendergrass was mentioned in a court record regarding the attachment of the estate of John Blackey, also represented by William Russell, as John allegedly had some of Blackey’s personal estate in his hands.186
1729, 3 June, John (x) Pendergrass witnessed a deed out from John (x) Hadocks of St. Geo. Par., Spts. Co., planter, to Francis Thornton of St. Mary's Par., Caroline Coumty .for 5000 lbs. tob., for 200 a. in St. Geo.Par., Spts. Co., in fork of Rappa. River. Dorothea, wife of John Hadocks, acknowledged her dower in the sd. land, etc. The other witnesses were Robert Green and John (x) MiCall.187 Another deed the same day transferred 800 acres of land in Spotsylvania from John Kilgore of St George parish, Spotsylvania, to John Hadocks, same parish and county, this deed witnessed by Francis Thornton, Robert Green, and Francis MiCall.[Note the significant name, Francis Thornton]
1729, 3 Dec, William Russell having sued John Pendergrass on behalf of the estate of Wm Thompson dec’d , John failed to appear and judgment was entered against him and his security [James McCullough/Micall]188
1730, 17 April Mr. Robert Turner, deputy sheriff, made executions against several people, including John Pendergrass for 660 pounds tobo, atty’s fees, etc.189
1732,3 Aug John Pendergrass sued [his former security] James McCullaugh (special imparlance.)190
1732,7 Sept John Pendergrass’ suit vs James McCullaugh, Plaintiff having joined Defendant’s plea, [for more time] was continued for trial next court.191
1732, 4 Oct. John Pendergrass was given a jury award of 256 lbs tobacco due by note from James McCullaugh/MiCall.192
1733 5 Sept John Pendergrass’ award against James McCullaugh was executed for 256 lbs tobacco plus 424 1/4 lbs tobacco in costs and attorney’s fees [for unnamed attorney]193
In 1734, Spotsylvania County was divided and the western portion became Orange County, Virginia. Most of the Pendergrass legal action afterward was then in Orange County, but the church records for their parish were still in Spotsylvania, so in this section, events will be reported for both counties in date order rather than by individual county.
A mention found on page 47 of a print volume called Annals of Augusta County, Virginia 1726-1871, of John Pendergrass on 26 February 1743 having been fined ten shillings or one hundred pounds of tobacco payable to the church wardens for (once again) not attending his parish church has long troubled researchers because there was no reason to think John was there, and because Augusta County did not exist until 1738.194 The late and wonderful Robert A Pendergrast searched long, hard, and in vain for this record at the Augusta County courthouse, but as it turns out, the original court record was actually an Orange County order, a mention of which was included in Annals of Augusta County, but in an Orange County reference.
In 1734 Orange County, also, William Russell sued Joseph Keaton for a note signed April 11th of that year, both parties of Saint Mark's Parish, Spotsylvania County at the time of signing. This note was witnessed by Edward Herndon, Jr and Daniel (x) Pendergrass.195 Males could witness notes at age 14, so this Daniel was born no later than 1720, and is not disqualified from being the same Daniel of Richmond County, born no later than 1715, who later indentured himself to Tobias Purcell (next door neighbor to Elizabeth Cribin (Spendergrass) until about1743. Daniel is discussed in Chapter 6, but no further mention of him was found in either county.
In Isaac Hadock’s precinct, on the same list as one of the several Francis Thorntons and the tithes of Colo. Spotswood, Jno Pendergrass listed two titheables in 1737 - himself and one other unnamed male over the age of 16.196 The list next to it had Henry Thornton, overseer. To be titheable in 1737, this John would have to have been born no later than 1721, but to be head of household, likelier before 1716. If the other taxable male in his household was a son over the age of 16, (and there is no evidence of that male’s identity) this John had to have been born no later than about 1696. [Richmond County John Spendergrass having been born in 1697 but having died in 1733 cannot have been this John, of course.]
In November of the same year, William Russell, Gentleman, of Saint Mark’s Parish, who before and afterward so often sued and was sued by John Pendergrass, was chided by his fellow peers on the Orange County Court as follows: “We find that William Russell, Gent., of Parish of St Marks doth live in adultery with the wife of one William Gradon living in London, as it appears to us. Richard Winslow, forman.”197 No punishment at all was specified, much less 21 lashes, which was the 1711 sentence for unwed mothers (at least for those not of the gentry) who refused to name the father.198
On Thursday, 24 November 1737, the suit on a Petition brought by William Kelly against John Pendergrass in Orange over an unspecified issue was dismissed.199 and in 1738 Orange County, John Pendergrass incurred a debt to Bellsfield Thomas Wright but didn’t pay it. [Note the very rare use at that time of three names for one man, who at first appeared to be a company or law firm]
In 1738, Augusta County was formed from Orange but public records concerning (S)pendergrasses continued in Orange County.
The terms of servitude of James Pendergrass, shoemaker, under Colo Alexander Spotswood have not been found and no Pendergrass or shoemaker was mentioned in the published writings of Colo Spotswood, but whatever the effect on James may have been, Colo Spotswood died in 1740.200
More litigation ensued, first on July 23rd of 1742 over a debt owed by John Pendergrass of Orange county, “otherwise called John Pendergrass of Orange County, Carpenter”, (the first time his occupation was specified) to Alexander Cummins, ordinary keeper. The nature of the debt was not given. At first, the court clerk reflected that John, “the Def not appearing & the Sheriff having ret’d a copy left at the Plaintiff’s Motion it is ordered that an alias capias (pickup order) issue against the Def returnable to next court.” However, on that same day John or an attorney for him evidently hurried in and the court then said: In the action of covenant broken bet Alexr Cummins, Pl, and John Pendergrass,Def, at the Def’s motion Oyer of the covenant in ------- declaration , motion is granted him & the suit is continued to next court.201
By the end of September, the parties had settled.202 but in the interim, John was sued on September 5th by Bellfield Thomas Wright, on the note he had signed in 1738, and when John failed to appear to defend, a judgment against him with interest since 1738 was entered, so he was in debt again.203
Court records concerning women are relatively few, so an important find was an Orange County order dated Friday March 1st, 1744 that a Rebecca Pendergrass was paid a witness fee of 75 lbs of tobacco for three days’ attendance at court as a witness in the case of Wm Johnson/Johnston vs Wm McRory/Mackelroy.204 Other witnesses received similar payments from the court for the same lengthy trial. It is not known on whose behalf Rebecca testified and no hint of her age, residence, or marital status was given.
By 24 November 1744, John Pendergrass was in trouble again for skipping church: the Sheriff having returned the summons for the Defendant to appear to answer the presentment aforesd for not frequenting his parish Church executed and the Defendant being called and failing to appear it is ordered that he pay a fine of five shillings current money to the church wardens of St Mark’s Parish as also the costs of this sd presentment.205
On 22 August 1745, John Pendergrass presented (along with many others making claims on the estate) a receipt for unspecified work done by him to be paid from a guardian account by Henry Field, guardian of the four children of the dec'd Wm Stanton, which was eventually paid,206 and in March of 1747, he settled out of court a suit, then dismissed, by Robert Jackson, this debt for several barrels of Indian Corn obtained from Jackson in 1743/4.207 On 29 May, 1747 John filed an ill-fated suit208 against William Russell, Gent. in “case” [a catchall form of civil legal action] and much hotly contested litigation ensued which the court eventually had to have arbitrated. The dispute was over carpentry work that John had done for William Russell, and for which Russell refused to pay on grounds that it was not done to his satisfaction. John appeared with George Wythe, Gent., his atty, and Wm Russell, Gent., by Zachary Sisson. The case was continued for the Defendant to plead at the next court. The exact sequence of events is somewhat unclear, and it is difficult to imagine what outcome John Pendergrass expected from suing William Russell when the Judges sitting that day were Robt Green, Sam’l Ball, Francis Slaughter, William Russell, Henry Field, Phillip Clayton, and James Pendleton. One hopes that William Russell at least stepped down from the bench while John’s case against him was being heard, but at that time and place, recusals seem to have been rare.
The next case is captioned William Russell, Gent. vs John Pendergrass, as William Russell retaliated by suing John. The court then ordered that “John Finleson, Gent., Benj. Richards, Capt Wm Peyton, Christopher Zimmerman, or any two or more of them do go to and value the work done for the Plaintiff by the Defendant and make report thereof to the next court..”209
Not surprisingly when the Defendant was a sitting judge in the court where the lawsuit was brought, John Pendergrass, Plaintiff’s, case was dismissed and he was ordered to pay back William Russell his court costs. The clerk’s margin note: Costs: 29 pounds/15 Lbs tobo pd 28_ 1747 210 A few pages later, it was noted that “upon the Petition of William Russell, Gent. vs John Pendergrass this day came as well the Plaintiff by Zachary Lewis, Gent, his attorney, as the Defendant by George Wythe, Gent his attorney,who being fully heard it is considered by the court that the Plaintiff recover against the sd defendant ,1 lb, 7 shillings11 pence half penny and his costs by him about his suit in his behalf expended.” Clerk’s margin note; Costs: 108 lbs tobo.211 There is no indication of payment in the bundle of papers regarding this suit, as there was in some of the other cases.
Although he normally paid his just debts promptly, John Pendergrass of Orange County, Carpenter, made William Russell, Gentleman, work for his money. In 1748 the sheriff returned the execution order with the note, “I have satysfied the Pltf of his debt and damages as within I am commanded” without saying how. (In some cases he listed the items or livestock collected). The clerk’s fee book recorded the sums paid by John Pendergrass for his judgments, but also the costs William Russell paid to collect them.212
John’s court troubles were not over even then, because in November 1749, judgments were entered against him by the court for unpaid parish levies213 [all families were required to support the parish church annually] for 14.3 in 1747 and 22.5 in 1748. These two levy lists can be found in Orange County judgments, “levies”, box 21. Only a few years’ lists are extant, and after 1749 no (S)pendergrass appears on any that have survived. Notes were made on the lists by each name indicating the collection status, similar to a delinquency list of insolvents, with some of the householders “not found”, some “runaway”, some “removed” and some with “no efects”. John was in the latter category, owning nothing which could be seized to satisfy the judgments. [4-J] [4-K]
In 1737 and again in 1747, John Spendergrass listed two titheable males in his household, but in 1748, a total of 3, all except himself unnamed. No other (S)pendergrasses appeared under any spelling variation in any of the lists.214 This record suggests, among other things, that between 1747 and 1748 a male in John’s household turned 16, and so was born in 1732, but his relationship to John is not indicated.
Despite John’s apparent resistance to attending his parish church, he continued to be involved in its business dealings. Had the church register of births, deaths, and marriages for Saint Mark’s survived to the present, it seems certain that many of the mysteries of this family would have been solved, but, sadly, and tantalizingly, its whereabouts are not known. What remains is the parish vestry book,215 which includes the parish’s income and outgo for the years 1730 through 1785 and gives a few precious, fleeting glances into the circumstances of the Spotsylvania/Orange County (S)pendergrass family. 216
1749 October 14, James Pendergrass was ordered discharged from the vestry levy “for the futur”.[usually because of age or infirmity. Richmond Co. James [Jr] would have been about 57] [p 43]
1752 John Pendergrass was paid by the St Mark’s vestry 150 pounds tobacco for “workman ship” on a horse [mounting] block [p 65]
1755 John Pendergrass was paid by St Mark’s vestry 700 pounds for keeping James Pendergrass for the past year . (Richmond County James [Jr] would have been about 63.)[p 66]
1756 John Pendergrass’ accounts (personal - 204 pounds of tobacco, and cask, paid by vestry to his assignee Colo Wm Russell.[p 67]
There are no further mentions of any (S)pendergrass by any spelling in Saint Mark’s vestry book through its end in 1785. No record of James’ death has been found, though the parish register is missing.That John was paid for James’ upkeep for one year but not for the next is suggestive but by no means conclusive evidence of James’ death.
Orange County, Virginia, marriage records didn’t begin until 1757 and were searched through the end and no (S)pendergrass was found. From the formation of each county, Spotsylvania and Orange, until well into the 1800s, no (S)pendergrass obtained land by any surviving grant or deed, and no (S)pendergrass left a last will or estate administration. There are a few scattered poll and titheables lists surviving afterward, with no (S)pendergrass listed. The 1755/6 vestry book entry is the last mention of a (S)pendergrass found in Spotsylvania or Orange County.
A tedious search of un-indexed Orange County judgment packets from their beginning until after the Revolution revealed executions of judgments for debt against John Pendergrass from time to time, but none after 1755/6, and no sheriff’s return indicating John’s location or departure from the bailiwick. He was not mentioned again in court records there, including that there was no mention of his death in probate records.
Meanwhile,in Saint George’s Parish of Spotsylvania County, John, Francis, and Francis, Jr , Thornton were vestrymen where a William Oliver was living in 1757 and 1758. As in Saint Mark’s Parish, the register for Saint George’s Parish has not survived, but the (unpaged) vestry book217 is extant, and is noted here (of interest to “Buncombe” John descendants, if not to others as well) :
1756, 17 Dec William Oliver was paid 1000 pounds by St George parish for keeping Thomas Moore a poor man, for one year
1757, 23 Sept William Oliver received a refund for overpaying St George parish levy
1758 11 Dec William Oliver was again paid 1000 pounds by St Geo parish for keeping Thomas Moore for one year
1758 Oct William Oliver was paid 500 pounds by St George parish for keeping Thos Moore for six months and was not mentioned again in the vestry book, which runs through 1817.
The next mention of William Oliver was on the 1757/8 tax list of old Granville County, North Carolina where he was added as an afterthought at the bottom of the list after it had already been totalled, just under the last listed names of some John Pendergrass (appearing for the first time in North Carolina)and John Serug Askew/Ayscue.218
It is also noteworthy that some John Askew/Haskew was on a grand jury convened for the purpose of indicting those in trouble for skipping church, swearing oaths, or in the case of the Reverend Richard Heartswell, being drunk, in Orange County in 1741219, was on Phillip Burke’s tax list with five tithes in September1749220, was subpoenaed as a court witness in Orange County about 1755221, and was on John Bryant’s tax list there in July 1756.222
Pendergrasses, Olivers and Askew/Ayscues intermarried in and near Sandy Creek, North Carolina.

The Earliest Glimpses in North Carolina
A. Spencer, William, John (Sr), Other Johns. and Orange County Robert
Just below the Virginia border in what was then the fairly new Granville County, North Carolina, formed in 1746 and constantly being broken up into smaller counties,[5-B] militia captains were on high alert, mustering their neighbors (to be joined by several Pendergrass families before 1755) and preparing to defend themselves and their property during the French and Indian War.
Militia duty for all males capable of bearing arms was mandatory in North Carolina, except for a very select few.1 Even those who were otherwise exempt due to disability were required to turn out in the event of an actual attack. Meetings to drill were held at least annually and were not known for their orderliness or sobriety.2 Heavy absences were not uncommon. All the same, each unit Captain was required to submit a detailed muster roll of all males who were subject to service, voluntary or otherwise, and these lists became of critical importance at the start of the conflict.
Although most of the few surviving lists contain only names of officers or have missing pages, for the year 1754 there is a surprisingly complete list which includes all eight militia units in old Granville County and a synopsis of the number of men in each, along with a complete list of all names, not only of the officers but of all enlisted men. [5-C] (Such a list for the then recently formed and adjacent Orange County, if it ever existed, has not survived.)
Since the militia units were geographical, and were also used as one basis for listing heads of household and collecting taxes, these lists are of great importance in locating ancestors and their neighbors and close acquaintances who might also be mentioned in other records. For many early years, the names of the militia Captains and Constables were used to identify tax districts and therefore changed with each successive officer. Later, these same districts came to be designated by geographical features or local heroes, and it can be difficult to determine their boundaries now without reference to the men who lived within them then.
To the history of the Sandy Creek, North Carolina “Wake” John, Spencer , Bob’s John and “Buncombe” John Pendergrass group, however, the most important thing about the 1754 Old Granville militia list is that they were not on it. No Pendergrass by any spelling was listed in any of the eight districts. Since the lists are complete and the men who shortly thereafter became their close friends, neighbors, and in-laws were in their respective places in Captain Sugan “Sugar” Jones’ district, including Roger and Henry Thornton, Hezekiah Massey, Robert Day, and even John Pownall, it is apparent that Spencer, William and John Pendergrass of the “Wake” John/Sandy Creek Pendergrass family had not yet arrived in old Granville County by the end of 1754.
Quakers were excused from militia duty, but “Wake” John’s 1794 will3 shows that he was not likely a Quaker, since it began, “In the name of God, Amen”, a phrase which no Quaker will would normally have contained. [At least one grandchild of “Wake” John’s, though, was, or later became, a Quaker.]
A thorough search of tax lists, jury tickets, deeds, court records, bastardy and apprentice bonds and all other available records shows no other reference to any Pendergrass from the beginning of Old Granville and Orange counties and their predecessor counties through the end of 1754. In an adjacent predecessor county (Edgecombe), there was an early family of Penders, and even the first name Solomon, but that family was still intact on tax lists in that county well after the Pendergrasses’ arrival in Old Granville, and Orange, so can be ruled out as the same group.4
The oldest known document (at the publication of this book) mentioning a Sandy Creek Pendergrass in Old Granville County is a plat map and survey of 477 acres on both sides of Sandy Creek somewhere just south of present day Vicksboro, granted to Henry and Roger Thornton in December, 1755[5-D]. Spenser Spendergrass was listed, along with a Richard Persons, as a sworn chain carrier. Chain carriers were normally, but not always, younger men able to endure the hard work of clearing brush and assisting physically in the survey. This document firmly places Spencer Pendergrass in the area, (which later became part of extinct Bute County, and then Warren County) by the end of 1755, while he was not there on the militia list in 1754. It also shows that he was acquainted with Roger and Henry Thornton by at least 1755. Spencer married Sarah Thornton, apparent daughter of Roger and Catherine before 1760.5
A history of North Carolina states that in the year 1755, some 5,000 new settlers came to old Granville County, almost all of them overland from various parts of Virginia.6 [5-A] However and from wherever they arrived, at least three new Pendergrass heads of household were among them and settled in Sandy Creek district not far southeast of tiny Coley’s Crossroads, now called Vicksboro.[5-B, 5-E]
The next mention of a Pendergrass in the Sandy Creek area was a 1757 old Granville County tax list which added John Pendergrass, and John Serug/Searidge Askew (a rare exception to the no-Brits-with-middle-names-before-the-Revolution rule) at the very end of the list, and William Oliver as an afterthought under the original totalled list of heads of households.7 It isn’t known exactly when the last three names were added and Spencer and William weren’t listed on that list. John had only one taxable male over the age of 16 in his household (himself) and no other taxable property. The Sandy Creek district was located in the area around the present day junction of Franklin, Warren and Vance Counties including Kittrell, Bobbitt, and Vicksboro, and its borders changed several times, with Vance County not having been created and plopped atop Franklin and Warren counties until 1881 and so of little note in these early pages.8
Each district captain or undersheriff was charged with making a complete list of all householders who were to be taxed in his district, and there were at times in North Carolina both poll and property tax lists. Each householder was responsible for turning in his list of taxables and paying his tax, and the tax collector did not go from door to door as census takers later did, so proximity of householders’ names on a tax list did not necessarily indicate physical proximity of their houses. The penalty for failing to turn in a list and pay taxes or for falsifying an age or otherwise hiding a taxable person, if caught, was double the tax.9 The individual district lists were then given to the sheriff, and in most cases a county-wide listing of all householders in all districts was made, usually grouped by first letter of the last name, but sometimes alphabetized and sometimes in random order. Since North Carolina was concerned about collecting taxes, tax lists were more likely to be preserved than most other records, but over the years even those have sometimes been lost. Thus, in the same year, a householder might appear on a small list with his close neighbors and then on a much larger county-wide list near others with the first letter of his last name, and perhaps even on a delinquents’ list if he hadn’t paid, or an insolvency list if he couldn’t. In another year, any or all of these lists might be missing. There were often property tax lists in addition to poll tax lists.
Before the Revolution, all white males over the age of 16 were taxed unless exempted. Free white women who were heads of households, usually widows, were not taxed for themselves but were otherwise taxed like men for males over 16 in their households, slaves, livestock, and, occasionally, for land or other property such as clocks or carriage wheels.10 After the revolution, North Carolina experimented with different tax rules and age limits, but by about 1800 had settled down to taxing free males over the age of 21 and under the age of fifty.11 Additionally, throughout all the rule changes, a householder could be exempted from paying taxes or parish levies due to age, infirmity, poverty, or service to the community, such as being a constable or captain. [Note: free blacks were taxed under a different, unfair system]
By 1758, there were three Pendergrass heads of household on a tax list in Sheriff William Johnson’s district which is titled “a list of those omitted from the 1757 list and known to be living in the county for the past year”: John, Spencer, and William were each listed as heads of household, each with only one taxable male and no other property. Each appeared on tax lists consistently for the next several years, but in 1761 there occurred the first hint of the mystery surrounding the various Johns. On a short list of “Haus Capers warn’d to turn in their lists” [5-F] in the Sandy Creek area appeared a John Pendergrays Senior, a John Pendergrays and Spencer Pendergrays, each as an independent head of household and only one name apart from each other. (William was in a different tax district and/or had already turned in his list and paid his tax for that year.)
“Bob’s” John lived near or with the somewhat older original Sandy Creek group, was closely related to them genetically, and before 1770 had married Margaret, the daughter of close neighbor John Pownall. By about 1772, Bob’s John, Margaret and their young children had gone with John Pownall from Sandy Creek to Lancaster County, South Carolina. It is therefore unlikely that he was the original immigrant of his line as was previously thought.
B, “Buncombe” John Pendergrass is so nicknamed because he first appeared on the 1800 census in Buncombe County as a young man born 1775-1784 with a wife in the same age range and two small apparent sons born between 1790 and 1800.12 From this census and from documents related to the revolutionary pension application of his father-in-law Benjamin Oliver, it is learned that he was born somewhere unspecified in about 1768 and that he married Elizabeth “Betsy” Oliver, daughter of Benjamin, around 1795. From YDNA testing of his descendant(s), it is established that he was a very close genetic match to the Sandy Creek Pendergrass men - “Wake” John, Spencer and William - but the exact relationship is not known. Spencer’s descendants born prior to 1850 were identified in his daughter Sarah’s probate administration, and “Buncombe” John was not among them.[see further, infra]
However, sometime prior to June 1796 a Spencer Pendergrass [Jr] obtained 100 acres on the northeast side of the French Broad River in the Burke County line on top of the blue ridge.13 in what was to become Buncombe county. Almost simultaneously, in 1800 and again in 1810, “Buncombe” John and his growing family were also somewhere in Buncombe County and by 1813, and again in 1816, he had obtained land, also on the French Broad River.14 Whether the two lived near one another on that river is not known because the river bisects the entire county.
In 1817 and 1821, “Buncombe” John divested himself of the land, which he sold to a William Galloway and William Gillespie, (who may have been the same person under different spellings)15, and began making his way to Jackson and Marshall counties, Alabama, where some of the Spencer descendants were living. (Spencer, Junior, was in Iredell County, North Carolina by 1800 and Talladega County, Alabama by 1820) “Buncombe” John’s older children later stated that they were born in North Carolina, but the family is not found in the 1820 census under John’s name and son Moses stated that he was born in South Carolina, a corner of which would have been on route to northern Alabama, where the younger children were born. [see further, infra]
C. Robert of Orange County and the Revolutionary Pendergrasses lived around Chapel Hill, North Carolina [5-B]and spread from there. Robert first appeared on an Orange County, North Carolina tax list taken between the county’s formation in 1752 and the completion of the list about 1755.[5-G] Interestingly, the tax list maker remarked on the cover of the list that “I am of the opinion that there may be to the number of thirty who have concealed themselves, and about twenty who have inlisted themselves twice”. Whether this Robert was or was not the same Robert whose birth was listed in the St. Stephen’s parish register in Northumberland County, Virginia in 1711, forty years earlier, is unknown, as there were several eligible Roberts in Virginia and more people coming into the country all the time. Robert was listed as a head of household with no other males over the age of 16 and there were no other Pendergrasses in surviving county records until considerably later. In 1761 he was mentioned in an Edwards deed as an adjacent land owner,16 and some Robert Pendergrass was a sworn chain carrier for Joshua Easton’s survey in March 1762.17 If he were the Robert born in 1711, he’d have been 51 at the time - an unusually advanced age for that job. He appeared again on tax lists in 1779 and 1780, still with no males over the age of 16 except himself in his household. In September 1778, though, a William Pendergrass obtained land on Obed’s Creek in the same area where Robert was living18. and appeared on the same tax lists as he did in 1779 and 1780.19 It has been assumed that this William was Robert’s son, and the father of the Revolutionary brothers. William Jr, John, Job, and David, but if so, he would have had to have been born by about 1730. This raises the question of why he was never mentioned in any Orange County record prior to 1778, either as a male over 16 in Robert’s household or as a head of his own household. For that matter, he does not seem to have appeared in any surviving Virginia records, as there is no known mention of a William Pendergrass after the birth in 1714 Northumberland. It is not impossible for William, Sr, father of the Revolutionary brothers, to have been the William born in 1714 as brother to Robert, since the Revolutionary brothers were being born to William, Sr while the William born in 1714 would have been in his 30s and 40s. The relationship is discussed further in Chapter 6-A., and descendants are outlined in Chapter 12.
The Orange County, North Carolina, Pendergrass family is not a genetic match to any other North Carolina Pendergrass/Pendergraft family except Luke’s (and Phillip’s in Pennsylvania), but is a solid match within itself and a solid match to Prendergast men in County Mayo, Ireland. [see Chapter 17]
D. Luke Prendergast of Baltimore, Maryland is one of only two Pendergrass men whose location immediately before coming into North Carolina is definitely known. On 26 January, 1768, he married Rachel Simmons, born 1751, apparent daughter of George and Elizabeth [Fuller] Simmons, in Saint John’s Parish, Baltimore County, Maryland.20 By 1778, the couple had relocated and owned land in Orange and Caswell Counties, North Carolina, where the family lived among the Robert and William Sr Pendergrass group, but did not appear to belong with them. Luke was considerably better educated and well-off than they, always signed in full as Luke Prendergast, and his will naming his five children was professionally prepared well in advance of his death.21 Identity is proven by the 1850 census for their known son George, who stated that he had been born in Maryland. Luke’s parentage has not been determined, but a YDNA test of one of his descendants shows a match to the Orange County, North Carolina group. It is not known whether he was born in North Carolina and sent to Maryland to be educated or if the match occurred further back in time, or if there is some other explanation altogether.[see Chapters 6-F and 12]
Some of Luke’s children remained in North Carolina but son John Baker Prendergast moved first to Tennessee and then established an extensive family line in Limestone County, Texas.
E. Richard, Free “Mulatto” Manservant, was first mentioned in North Carolina records when he obtained land in Caswell County in 177722, and of all the North Carolina Pendergrass men, he is one of only two whose location prior to arriving in North Carolina is known. An advertisement in the Richmond Gazette in 1767 placed by Gideon Patteson stated that in Halifax County, Virginia, Samuel Jones had died owing Patteson money and that Patteson therefore had a claim on all of Samuel Jones’ “property”, including the remainder of the servitude of “one mulatto manservant, Richard Pendergrass.”23 Once free of his indenture, Richard was quite visible in North Carolina records, owned land, fought in the Revolution, was captured by the British, married and had at least four known children, and left a nuncupative will. Some of his descendants later prospered in Clinton, County Illinois. [see Chapter 13]
Recent YDNA testing of a direct male descendant of Richard indicates that his father’s profile best matches men in Sub-Saharan Africa. Richard’s known descendants are outlined in Chapter 13.

The Unsolved Mysteries (1750 - 1794)
Note: The late, great Robert A Pendergrast, whose excellent genealogy was published in 1980, chose not to include any of his meticulous research about the very early Pendergrass groups for fear that it would be published or posted as fact in the way that occurred with so much inaccurate speculation from Allen Pendergraft’s book, and as Bob was absolutely correct in this judgment, the present author is very reluctant to publish anything theoretical, even when clearly labelled as such. However, since over fifty years of intensive research have gone into these finds, some of them Bob’s, some of them others’, many of them this author’s, and since the theories laid forth here can hardly be worse than those circulating currently, this author has with great trepidation chosen to include discussions of some of the early facts and the possibilities based on them in order that the many decades of hard-earned gleanings not be lost. Until further facts come to light, if they ever do, the reader is implored not to draw, post, or publish any conclusion based on these discussions and speculations and warned of retribution by public chiding (or private haunting) by this author if such occurs. It is already confusing enough that the currently circulating origin theories - any before 1750, at least - are at best unsupported and in almost all cases provably wrong.
A. Origins of Robert of Orange County, North Carolina:
The prevalent but incorrect origin theory for the Orange County, North Carolina Pendergrass group (actually for both major Caucasian North Carolina groups) as set forth by Allen Pendergraft in his books1 and the online trees copied from them is this: Phillip Pendergrass who arrived in Virginia by 1643 and had a completely fictional wife (Mary James) engendered a (partly fictional) James Pendergrass who was married to Mary (Henri), and they had a son Michael who had a son John who married Anne Pleasants in 1709 Henrico and then died in Northumberland County in 1715 leaving two sons born there: Robert in 1711 and William in 1714, as well as some fictional married daughters. The old theory continued that Robert went to Orange County, North Carolina in 1752/5 and had a son William born 1730ish who had the revolutionary brothers, and that Robert’s baby brother William went to Old Granville/Bute County, North Carolina in 1755 and had Spencer and “Wake” John there.2
There is deeper discussion of the many problems with this theory in other chapters of this book, but in short, Phillip came to Virginia alone, apparently as a servant for whom the boat captain got headrights to acreage in 16433, and Phillip was never mentioned again in any extant record except when those same headrights were re-sold. Obviously, he was only transported once. There is no record of his place or year of birth or death, no marriage record to anyone, no Mary James, and no known connection between Phillip and any other person named Pendergrass.[3-A]
Not the fault of that author is that several online trees illogically show this 17th century Phillip as a son of Baron/Lord Maurice de Prendergast, who lived and died in the 12th and 13th, not 17th, century.4
Mixed into this origin theory was the idea that because Darby Pendergrass of South Carolina at times was a tailor, and one of the real Richmond County Jameses was a tailor, that James [the Tailor] fathered Darby, but this, too, is impossible, because Darby was born at least ten years before the James Spendergrass who later became a tailor. This error was due to confusion of the three Richmond County James Spendergrass generations by the 1977 author, who invented a James who lived from 1640 to 1718 as well as his fictional wife (Mary) with a fictional maiden name (Henri).5 This invention of an extra James was based on that author’s misinterpretation of the ongoing probate proceedings of the James[Sr] who died in 1704/5, not again in 1718, and his confusion about which James sold land in 1751.[see Chapter 4F for the untangling of the Jameses]
There was, however, a real James Spendergrass [Sr], birth year and place not known, who began appearing in church and court records in Richmond County, Virginia, up on the northern neck of the state, by 16976, and he was in fact married to a Mary Unknown, but he had no son Michael or Darby and he died in late 17047 and not a second time in 1718. He left a married daughter Elinor and two minor sons, James [Jr] born 1692 somewhere and John born 1697 [4-B]in Richmond County.8 That John is well documented and married Elizabeth Cribin in Richmond County,9 not anyone in Henrico or Northumberland County. He died in 1733 in Richmond County10and is therefore also not “Northumberland’ John who died in 1715.11
“Richmond County” John’s older brother, James [Jr] married a Rebecca Unknown (not Bolling),12
and, unconnected to Richmond or Northumberland County, were Michael Pendergrass and his wife, another Rebecca Unknown (not Bolling) whose son John, “a Christian of New Kent County” married Jane (not Anne) Pleasants at a Quaker meeting in 1709 Henrico County.13 The old theory was that “New Kent” John became the John who died in Northumberland County, Virginia in 1715, leaving the two baby boys and some mathematically impossible married daughters.14 This cannot be true for two reasons: first, “Northumberland” John was transacting business and litigating continuously in that county from at least 1699 to his 1715 death15 and therefore could not also have been John “of New Kent County” who married down in Henrico in 1709.16 Second, Northumberland John’s widow was named Elizabeth, not Jane.17
The Pocahontas myth as it pertains to the Pendergrass origin theory is based on one silly remark in the 1977 book that “if the tradition is true that the Pendergrasses descend from Pocahontas, then perhaps Rebecca was a Bolling”18 It isn’t. She wasn’t. Any quick read of Pocahontas’ verified descendants shows that she did not and could not have had a descendant named Rebecca Bolling who was old enough to have had a son marry in 1709.19 That author then went on to get the names of the Quaker bride and both her parents wrong and to write several paragraphs about the early Bollings as though Rebecca really had been one, thus creating hundreds of rather odd online trees that mistakenly track back to Powhatan.20
The births of the two Northumberland baby boys were registered after the fact and in reverse order by the same hand at the same time in the Saint Stephen’s Church of England parish register of Northumberland County. [3-B] Clearly brothers, Robert was born December 8th, 1711 and William was born May 14, 1714.21 Frustratingly, neither parent was listed for either child, the only time this occurred in the register. It is not known if the children were actually born in St Stephen’s Parish or even in Northumberland County, but as people were strictly required to attend their parish churches, were fined if they didn’t, and paid an involuntary annual levy for the court-enforced privilege, it is a good working hypothesis that the boys were born in Northumberland County to members of the parish. John Pendergrass died in the county in late 1715, leaving widow Elizabeth to buy his winding sheet22 with his estate probated in court records but with no mention of his death in the parish register. [3-C] As there were no further Pendergrass births (or deaths or marriages) registered after 1714, John and Elizabeth were feasible, but not proven, candidates for Robert and William’s parents. There was another adult Pendergrass male, Peter, who appeared in court records at the time,23 as well as those in neighboring counties and those who might never have appeared in surviving public records at all.
Another part of the former theory confused the Robert born in Richmond County (probably to James [Jr] and Rebecca) with the Robert born in Northumberland County in 1711 (probably to John and Elizabeth), giving the Robert who came to Orange County, North Carolina, a wife with the first name of Richmond County Robert’s real wife and making up a maiden name of “Manley” for her only because there was a child with the first name “Manley” several generations after Robert died.24 While it is theoretically possible that James Spendergrass [Jr] and his wife Rebecca Unknown were the parents of the baby boys Robert and William, they were members of North Farnham Parish in Richmond County and registered the births of their daughters there in 1721 and 172925 so it seems unlikely that they would have travelled to Northumberland County to register their earlier children’s births, and while there is circumstantial evidence of a possible son Robert, born to them by about 1713,26 in Richmond County, there is no known evidence that they ever had a son named William and no record of one in Richmond county.
Once the fictional or confused early generations are out of the way, what is known and provable is that “Northumberland” John was a real adult male of child engendering age, he was known to have been married (to an Elizabeth), and whether his or not, baby boys Robert and William, were real people, as well.
However, weighing heavily against the theory that Robert went to Orange County, North Carolina, and his brother William went to a different part of that state are three major factors: first, there is a forty year gap in the records between the Northumberland births and the first appearances in North Carolina, second, it would be strange for brothers to locate so far apart in the same state about the same time and never interact again, but third and most important is that the YDNA of descendants of Robert of Orange County and that of the descendants of William of the old Granville/Bute/Warren Sandy Creek group absolutely do not match, at least as far back as about 1700. Each group strongly matches its own members, but the two groups are completely unrelated genetically, putting to final rest the idea that the two Northumberland baby brothers settled in two separate North Carolina counties.[c.f. infra and Chapter 17]
Discussion and Theory: The “line back to Phillip” and in fact any ancestry of the Orange County group before 1752, when Robert first appeared of record in Orange County, North Carolina,[5-G] is totally unproven, and there was no known connection with the well documented Richmond County Spendergrasses, who attended a different church in a different parish in a different county. None of the three Jameses there could have fathered “Northumberland” John in any manner that would have given him the Pendergrass surname. Only James [Sr] was old enough, and he had a legitimate son John born in 1697. “Northumberland” John was old enough to sign a promissory note there in 1697,26 so born no later than 1676. Likewise, there is no known connection to any Pendergrass in Middlesex County, the patriarch of that group having been Edward, an orphan born in an unknown location about 1688 and bound out to John Lohie at adjudged age 13.27 There is nothing to suggest that the Mary Pendergrass who died there in 1715 in Christ Church Parish was the same Mary who was married to Richmond County James Spendergrass [Sr]. Middlesex Mary’s age and marital status at death were not given.28
Between “Northumberland” John’s demise in 1715 and the first appearance of Robert in North Carolina in 1752/5, and his relative William in 1778, there is nothing evidential except the two first names Robert and William, two common enough first names, appearing together in the two locations.
One intriguing fact is that Garrett Pendergrass of Bedford, Pennsylvnia, was roughly a contemporary of the Northumberland baby boys, and that he was briefly in Orange, Frederick, and Stafford Counties, Virginia, [6-D] married with several children, no later than 1752.29 Although a descendant of Garrett traced by traditiional means did not match anyone in the Pendergraft YDNA database[c.f. Chapter 17], two men who lived near him in Pennsylvania (Philliip Pendergrass of Carlisle, long assumed, but not proven, to have been one of his sons, and Luke who married in Baltimore in 1768 and moved to North Carolina) both have YDNA profiles similar to the Orange County North Carolina group. [c.f.Chapter 17]
This author, then, can offer no solid theory as to the true origins of the Orange County group prior to 1750 except that YDNA testing has shown matches to men in Pennsylvania and County Mayo, Ireland. They are not genetic matches to the South Carolina “Darby” group or the Sandy Creek, North Carolina group, and “Northumberland” John was not the “New Kent” John who married Jane Pleasants in Henrico and therefore “Northumberland” John was not the son of Michael Pendergrass and Rebecca Unknown. Before 1752, there is really no path backward from Orange County, North Carolina, at this time which neatly fits the established facts.
However, going forward, this author accepts the likelihood that “Northumberland” John and his wife/widow Elizabeth were the parents of the two baby boys, Robert and William, based on the fact that John was frequently in court records there for over fifteen years, and apparently was mentioned in a 1708 will as just “Pendergrass”, from whom the testator had bought a horse.30 With only one brief mention of one other Pendergrass adult male in extant church and court records (Peter), the church registrar may have felt it was unnecessary to specify John as their father because it would be assumed. Additionally, William’s birth was in 1714 and no more Pendergrass children were registered after John’s death in 1715. (There is no extant marriage record - only the mention of his widow Elizabeth in the probate records, and no mention there of any orphaned children)[3-C]
Although a forty year gap in records is a lot to swallow when assuming that two individuals of the same name were the same person, the association of the given names Robert and William in both Northumberland and Orange Counties, the lack of the name Robert in the Sandy Creek group at that time, and the relative rarity of the Pendergrass surname in the colonies (only 26 households in the whole 1790 federal census) at least raises the possibility that the two Northumberland baby boys were the same Robert and William who settled by about 1752/5 in what soon became Orange County, North Carolina.
Since it is now known for certain that brothers Robert and William did not become the progenitors of the two separate, genetically unrelated, North Carolina Pendergrass families, whose paper trail never intersected, a reexamination of the provable facts is in order.
Robert first appeared of record in North Carolina on the first Orange County tax list, which began in 1752 but was not completed until 1755.31 He was listed as head of household with no other males over the age of 16, (brother William would have been 38, a son William born about 1730 would have been 22) and there was no William as a head of household in the county. The old assumption has been that Robert had a son named William born about 1730 because a William was granted nearby land in 1778 and not before..32 Also, it is known from his sons’ revolutionary pension applications that by 1749 William Sr was fathering children somewhere, though the applications do not state their birth locations. If William’s first known child (“Chatham” John) was born in 1749, and the average marriage age for males was 26, this puts William’s birth year at about 1723, or later if he married younger. If born by 1723, he could have owned land as early as 1741, and certainly by 1751, but if he did, there is no record of it in Orange or its predecessor counties. It should be noted that tax lists for early Orange County are quite spotty, and that early militia lists named only officers. However, the 1752/5 tax list is complete and no William was on it.
William was neither in Robert’s household nor his own head of household on the same lists, and was not mentioned in any surviving record until 1778.33 Among several possibilities are that he had not yet arrived in North Carolina (though he hasn’t been found elsewhere), was living with in-laws or other relatives, or was listed as part of a partnership, company, or farm where he worked or sharecropped.
Also. it is not known whether the child born to William Sr and Martha “Patti” Unknown in 1749 was actually their firstborn. Of their sons in the revolution, “Chatham” John was apparently the eldest, but there were other children whose birth years are unknown, as well as the possibility of unidentified children born earlier, especially daughters who married out.
If Robert and William were not father and son, as has been assumed previously, but were in fact the two Northumberland baby brothers, then Robert would have been about 40 years old and William about 37 when Robert settled in Orange County. Other than Luke Prendergast, all of whose children were named in his will [discussed below], there were only two identified Pendergrass men in Orange County of an age to have had sons in the Revolution. William’s known son William Jr was in the militia, but there was also another William”Will” Pendergrass from Orange or Chatham County who was in the war for its entire duration, died before 1785, and received 640 acres of bounty land, the warrant for which was endorsed by his apparent sole heir, Thomas.34 If Robert were William Sr’s brother rather than father, then he could have fathered “Third” Will.
There is also the matter of the Robert who carried a survey chain in 1761 and 1762, usually the job of younger men, though a man in his fifties was not out of the question.35 A Robert was also tasked in 1761 with helping to build a road from the Hillsborough courthouse to Pendergrass Ford of Morgan’s Creek and in 1765 was court ordered to plan a road from Little River to Johnson’s plantation.36 In July 1784 when “Northumberland” Robert would have been 73, some Robert bonded to marry Nancy McDonnell.37 So far as is known, William Sr did not have a son named Robert, leaving Robert [Sr] as possible father of the younger Robert[Jr] and of revolutionary “Third” Will.
In 1809, when some Orange County William Sr gifted land to William Jr, the William born 1714 in Northumberland would have been 95 years old. Did he live this long, or did
“Militia” William, Jr, apparent brother of Job, David, and “Chatham” John, assume the title of “senior” upon his father’s death as was the custom, or is there some other explanation entirely?
Clearly, without the discovery of further evidence, it is impossible to know whether Orange County Robert and William were in fact the Northumberland County baby boys. New people were pouring into the country every day. It is equally impossible to know whether William was Robert’s son or brother or some other relative, and in many cases to know exactly which of the younger Pendergrass children belonged to whom. Pension applications and affidavits are a valuable source but don’t tell the complete story.
Weighing what scant evidence there is, though. and taking into account the younger Robert and the “Third” William who served the entire war, this author leans toward the theory that the Northumberland baby brothers were sons of “Northumberland” John and Elizabeth, and were the same Robert and William who settled in Orange County, North Carolina by about 1752/5, but it must be remembered that there is nothing verifiable about the origin of this group before their arrival in North Carolina.
B. Origins of William, Mary, Rebeckah, Spencer and the Johns: Because the previous origin theory was that the “Wake” John/Sandy Creek group and the Orange County group were descendants of the two Northumberland baby brothers, which has now been proven incorrect by YDNA and other evidence, all the same errors from the early generations of the Orange County group pertain to the Sandy Creek group as well, so Section A, above, explaining those mistakes, should be read before delving further into the Sandy Creek group’s origins. As in the Orange County group, nothing provable is known about the ancestry of the Sandy Creek group before 1755 and any theory presented here, while based on verified facts, is still speculative as to what those known facts might mean and what unknown facts might be missing that would change the entire picture.
In short, this author believes, but cannot prove, that the Sandy Creek Pendergrass family originated in Richmond County, Virginia, and (as their servants and tradesmen) followed the prominent Thornton, Strother, Branham, and Spotswood families through Stafford, Spotsylvania, and Orange Counties, Virginia, before arriving in the Sandy Creek area near present day Vicksboro, North Carolina in 1755.
It is important to note that Orange County, North Carolina, where the “Robert” group first settled, and Orange County, Virginia, which will be mentioned often in this section, are two different counties in two different states about two hundred miles apart from county seat to county seat.
The detailed, completely conjectural, and complicated origin theory of the “Wake” John/Sandy Creek Pendergrass family is presented here in three phases, any one of which could be partly or entirely wrong in its construction and interpretation of the known facts, or could be completely unconnected to the other two.
Phase One: 1671-1697 In 1671, a James Pendergrass was transported from Bristol, England to Virginia on the Tryall/Trial as a servant to Robert Pennington for a four year term.38 There is no clue as to his birthplace or age, though indentured servants tended to be young in order for their masters to get the most use from them. Whether he survived the voyage and where he actually went are unknown. No Robert Pennington of that time period has been located in records of Richmond County, Virginia, or the Northern Neck, (surviving records that early are sparse) though there was an enclave of Penningtons in nearby Maryland. Even if of age, James would not have been free to marry without his master’s consent until 1675, when he normally would have received his freedom and a small amount of money, clothing, or land, depending on his contract with his master. If old enough to marry by 1675, he could easily have had a daughter old enough to be married by 1704, but not have been too old to have fathered a child in 1697.39
There is nothing to rule out (or confirm) that the James transported in 1671 was the same James Spendergrass Sr who litigated, procreated, and died in Richmond County, Virginia.
Another question concerns the identity of the James Spendergrass who signed a petition in full that way in 1683 Calvert County, Maryland with 57 other inhabitants.40
Robert A. “Bob” Pendergrast of Atlanta found this 1683 reference to James Spendergrass in Calvert County, Maryland, on Chesapeake Bay some 30 miles north (by water) of Northumberland County, Virginia: “Calvert Co., petition concerning Towne. The humble petition of the Inhabitants of Calvert Co. in the ffreshes of Pottuxen, &c. May it please your honors ....” There was a lengthy petition requesting that a town be laid out on the lands of John Boling, signed by 58 people including James Spendergrass. Bob added, “Note: the unusual phonetic spelling due to transference of the ‘s’ at the end of James. The council met at St. Mary’s, near the Potomac between Calvert Co., and Northumberland Co., Virginia, and granted the request October 7, 1685.”41
Also, in 1688 Calvert County, on 7 May, some James Spendergrass was security with Joseph Fry for Margaret Golaish, the administratrix of the estate of John Golaish(e). Richard Marsham exhibited the will of John Goliash(e), proved by Robert Dove, witness. Other witnesses were dead or runaway.42 This author travelled to the Maryland archives to obtain an image of this petition and the probate proceedings, but the originals are gone and all that remains are the clerk’s copies, in which he dutifully recorded the marks of those who were unable to write. James Spendergrass signed the petition in full, but his signature on the copy was in the clerk’s handwriting, not his own. He either did not sign the bond for the probate, proceeding or the court did not preserve it. At any rate, even if there had been an original signature of “Maryland” James Spendergrass, no signature of “Richmond” James Spendergrass[Sr], has been located for comparison - not even an indication of whether he could sign his own name. (His sons could not.?)
James Spendergrass[Sr] first appeared of record in Richmond County, Virginia, with his wife Mary Unknown, in the North Farnham Parish register with the birth of their last child, John, in April of 1697. 43 Although the county records go back to 1692, when his son James [Jr] was born, no (S)pendergrass was mentioned in them until 1697 and no mention was found in predecessor counties on the Northern Neck.
The best that can be distilled from these few facts is that Calvert County, Maryland, James Spendergrass was able to write his own signature, though we don’t know how well, and that there is nothing to rule him out or in as being James Spendergrass[Sr] of Richmond County.
Therefore, it is possible that the James Pendergrass who was transported in 1671 by Robert Pennington for a four year indenture could have served out his term in Virginia or nearby Maryland, married after 1675, lived in Maryland through the 1780s and relocated with his family to Richmond County on the Northern Neck between 1692 and 1697, explaining why he did not appear in records there before then.
He could have been the same person transported to Virginia in 1671, or the literate James Spendergrass of Calvert County, Maryland, or both...or neither.
Phase Two: 1697- 1755 Whether he was or was not either or both of the earlier identified James (S)pendergrasses, and wherever he was in the years before then, there was a real James Spendergrass[Sr] with a real wife Mary Unknown who registered the birth of their son John in April 1697 in the records of North Farnham Parish, Richmond County, Virginia.44 [4-B]Though there is no known record of their marriage, the child was born into a recognized religious union. This was their first known appearance of record in Richmond County or anywhere on the Northern Neck. [Note: Richmond County is in the northern part of Virginia near Maryland, and is not near the capital city of Richmond in the southern part of the state.]
Contrary to the former theory, there was no hint of this James[Sr]’s birth place or year other than his having had a (real) daughter married by 170445 and still having been able to father children with a wife of childbearing age in 1797 (their last child). It is not known whether she was his first and only wife, so age calculations based on her last child having been born in 1697 are futile, except that James [Sr] had a daughter married to a scoundrel by late 1704. Assuming his daughter Elinor’s age as at least 18, because she went into court as a married woman at the time of his death, James[Sr] had to have been born no later than about 1665, and perhaps earlier. There may have been other children born before or between Elinor and James[Jr] who stayed behind when James came to Richmond County, or who did not survive childhood, but only three children have been identified with certainty: Elinor, who had married Anthony Gilbert, cordwayner, by 1704 (so born no later than about 1686)46, James[Jr] born 15 February 169247 and John, born April 1697.48
There was no James born in Ireland in 1640 who married a Mary (Henri- a completely fabricated maiden name) and died in 1718, certainly no Pendergrass brothers who imported brides across the Atlantic while also marrying native American women, or who hopped back and forth to Ireland - there was only the one real James[Sr], his wife Mary Unknown, and their three verified children. There was no Michael or Darby or Edward associated with them at any time.
Between the birth of his last child in 1697 and his death, James[Sr] filed one lawsuit in 1704 against a John Smith, shoemaker, but did not follow it up, perhaps because he was dead or dying, and in June of that year William Smith, shoemaker, obtained a dismissal of the case due to James’ non-appearance. [Note: shoemaking is a recurrent theme in this family.]
By December 1704, James[Sr] was deceased and his minor sons were placed (not bound out or apprenticed) with other families and this sequence of events is laid out in detail in Chapter 4, above.49 James [Jr] was temporarily placed with Bartholomew Dorsey, though before long he was actually living with his sister and her husband, and John was placed in the home of William Phillips for his “care and tuition until further order of the court”, where John did live for several years.50 In February 1704/5, an inventory and appraisal of James[Sr]’s estate was ordered,51 and in March, when it was delivered, Elinor’s husband Anthony Gilbert and she applied for and were granted the administration of the estate, with securities William Jenkins and Robert Port, who “acknowledged indebtedness to their majesties justices” if Anthony and Elinor did not “administer and render a true account”.52 [Note: even if she survived him, it would have been rare for James’ widow Mary to have been appointed his administrator unless so named in a will.]
On 6 March 1706/7 , Anthony Gilbert petitioned the court for his brother-in-law James Spendergrass[Jr] to be apprenticed to him to age 21 to learn the trade of a cordwayner (fancy shoemaker), and stated that James[Jr] had been living with and supported by him for the past year. James[Jr] signified to the court that he agreed to the apprenticeship and Anthony promised to teach him the trade, keep him to no other, and to keep him to his learning, “the sd James being att the age of 14 on the 15th day of Feby last past “ (so born February 15th, 1692/3)53
Anthony, however, was racking up some debts he could not pay and had several judgments entered against him in the next year. On 15 February 1707/8, another inventory was done of James[Sr]’s, estate at the house of security Robert Port and on 3 November of that year, Jenkins and Port were called into court because Anthony Gilbert had “absconded and run away” with most of James’ estate, leaving the hapless securities hanging out to dry.54
In 1714, when he was barely over 21, James[Jr] rescued his brother John from involuntary servitude to the Phillips family by objecting to their claim in court and paying a substantial sum for his upkeep since 1705 and taking over his “tuition” himself.55 Then, in 1715, he sued the securities, Jenkins and Port for their failed guarantee that his father’s estate would be administered properly, and when he was old enough, John sued them, too.56 A new inventory was done by John Smith (shoemaker?) and the litigation dragged on into 1718/19. The whole saga can be read in Chapter 4, above, but this is the sole source of the invention elsewhere of a James Spendergrass who died (again) in 1718. The key to his real identity as the same James[Sr] who died in 1704/5 is that the original securities, Jenkins and Port, were sued and the language in the court documents made it plain that the money sought by James[Jr] and John was for the loss of the bulk of their father James’ estate.57
Anthony Gilbert, cordwayner, was never mentioned again in any record yet found on the Northern Neck and it is not known whether Elinor stayed behind or left with her husband. Likewise, it is not known where James[Jr] was living after they left, or whether their mother Mary was still alive, but for at least two years, James[Jr] born 1692, was training to be a shoemaker.
In 1723 John sued and was sued civilly, but from 1724 to 1727 both young men were absent from surviving Richmond County records completely.
Interestingly, in 1724 in nearby Stafford County, where the Thorntons, Branhams, Spencers and Strothers had migrated from Richmond county before spreading into Spotsylvania and Orange, and where Capt. William Russell had relocated from King and Queen county, some James Pendergrass was listed as tending 5,210 tobacco plants for the 1724 growing season in Overwharton Parish, and nearby him on the list was John Grimes, a neighbor of the Spendergrasses from Richmond County.58 In 1725, a John and James Pendergrass, both “of Stafford County” took up 140 acres on Town Run (watercourse) but lost it almost immediately and it was re-granted to someone else.59 All that is known about the James and John who did not complete the acquisition of land in Stafford County is that legally they each had to have been born before 1704 to be eligible to buy or rent land in 1725, which the Richmond County James [Jr] and John both were. It seems odd that James[Jr] would have given up making shoes to tend tobacco, but only two years later, in 1727, his younger brother John did buy two pieces of farm land adjoining tobacco planters on Totuskey Creek in North Farnham Parish where he was born.60 In February 1728, some James Pendergrass, shoemaker, a servant to Colo Spotswood in Spotsylvania County, was placed under a witness bond to testify about a theft from his shop.61 Back in Richmond County, John Spendergrass got married on 2 December that same year.62
There is no way to know whether the two sons of James[Sr], (James [Jr] and John) took a break from Richmond County to try their luck in nearby Stafford and then decided to return, or whether there were two different sets of John and James, but James[Jr] was not mentioned again in Richmond County records until, the birth of his second known daughter in 1729.
In 1727, John, the son of James[Sr] bought a parcel of acreage on the drains of Totuskey Creek from Lewis Pugh and another from Richard Branham, all “of North Farnham Parish, Richmond County”.63 One of the pieces of land adjoined Branham’s own land, and one adjoined Bryant Sisson[Sr]. In December 1728, John married Elizabeth Cribin64 and the two quickly had a son James born in 172965 and a daughter Mary by about 1731.66 In December 1732, he witnessed the will of neighbor Joshua Singleton along with Mary (M) Thornton and Thomas Dickenson67 and a month later, being very sick, he signed his own will in contemplation of imminent death,68 leaving the two parcels of land to his toddler son James, who was later bound out to Colo. Landon Carter to become a tailor.69 At age 21, James [the Tailor]’s servitude was up and he sold the two parcels of land to adjoining neighbor, Tobias Purcell, (Planter)70 reserving a life estate in her third to his mother, Elizabeth Cribin (Spendergrass) who by then had remarried an adjoining Medford neighbor.71 After the sale of the land in 1751, James [the Tailor] has not been found in any Richmond County, Northern Neck, or other Virginia record, and it is not known where he went, whether he married, or when he died. Born in 1729, he could not have been the James put under witness bond in 1728 or very likely the one discharged from the St Mark’s parish levy and “kept” in his apparent last months by John (the Carpenter).
Although there are definitely difficulties with math when calculating relationships, especially with James born February 1692 as the father of Carpenter John of Orange County, who had to have been born by about 1707 (or emancipated by marriage) to have gotten in court trouble for skipping church in 1728, there are still circumstances connecting the Richmond County Spendergrass family with the Stafford/Spotsylvania/Orange County(Virginia) Pendergrasses, to James (shoemaker to Colo Spotswood) and to “Carpenter” John, in ways that seem more than coincidental.
Among those circumstances are that the (S)pendergrasses, Thorntons, Strothers, Sissons, and others all attended North Farnham Parish church and were listed in the register there. Later, all were also found attending the same church of Saint Mark’s Parish, in Spotsylvania/Orange counties, including some James and John (S)pendergrass.
Lewis Pugh, born sometime in the late 1600s, and who died in the 1730s, listed the birth of his son Lewis Pugh in 1717 in the North Farnham Parish register where the Spendergrasses attended church.72 The elder Lewis Pugh sold land on Totuskey Creek in that Parish to John Spendergrass in 1727.73 In 1758, a Lewis Pugh appeared on the same Granville County, North Carolina delinquents list as William Pendergrass of the Sandy Creek group.74 In the same North Farnham register, Roger Thornton[Sr] and his wife Isabell Guy listed the births of sons Henry Thornton, born 12 November 1709 and Roger[Jr] born 14 June 1725,75 whose land on Sandy Creek in North Carolina Spenser Spendergrass helped survey in December 1755.76 Roger Thornton[Jr] and his wife Catherine Lindsay became Spenser’s in-laws when he married their daughter Sarah some time before 1760.77
Francis Strother was born in 1698 in adjacent St Mary’s Parish of Richmond County,78 and moved westward into St Mark’s Parish of Spotsylvania, Orange and Culpeper counties, where he was prominent and where John and James Spendergrass attended church. The elder Francis Strother died in Saint Mark’s parish in 1752,79 and in 1761 his son Francis Strother appeared on the 40-name Sandy Creek “haus capers warn’d to turn in their lists” [5-F]document with John Sr, another John, and Spencer Pendergrays.80
Bryant Sisson, who was born 20 February 1694/5 in Sittenburn Parish (predecessor to North Farnham)81owned land adjacent to the parcel that John Spendergrass, son of James[Sr] purchased in 172782 and his son James (the Tailor) sold in 1751.83 Bryant Sisson later died in 1771 in St. Mark’s Parish, Orange County, Virginia,84 where John the Carpenter and his close relative James Spendergrass attended church. Also at St Mark’s were younger members of the same family of Branhams from whom John Spendergrass, son of James[Sr] had bought land on Totuskey Creek in North Farnham Parish in 1727.
As the more prominent and wealthier Thornton, Strother, Branham, Spencer, and Sisson families were joined by Colonel Spotswood and moved further west and south, the Spendergrasses appear to have moved with them.. County lines were often blurred by geography so that sometimes the Parish Church one attended was in a county adjacent to the courts where one litigated, and there were also situations in which one or more of the Richmond County Spendergrasses seem to have left for a while and then returned.
One clear example of this is Daniel (S)pendergrass, apparent son of James [Jr] born no later than 1715, probably in Richmond County, who witnessed a promissory note from Joseph Keaton to Captain William Russell (Carpenter John’s nemesis).85 Both parties were “of St Mark’s Parish, Spotsylvania County”, where the signing evidently took place on April 11th, 1734.86 However, two years later, Daniel (as far as is known there was only one) was sued in Richmond County Court and a judgment was entered against him.87 As an adult who chose to do so voluntarily, Daniel then went into servitude for 6 years and 7 months, in return for his new master’s paying off all of Daniel’s debts.88 The new master was none other than Tobias Purcell, next door neighbor to the recently widowed Elizabeth Cribin (Spendergrass), wife of the John born 1797 who died in 1733, and mother of James Spendergrass (the Tailor) and his sister Mary.
Thus, it can be theorized that Daniel followed his father James[Jr](shoemaker) into St Mark’s parish for a while but returned to North Farnham/Lunenburg to live with or near his widowed aunt, Elizabeth Cribin (Spendergrass) and become indentured to her next door neighbor, Tobias Purcell. Daniel’s apparent brother Robert and wife Elizabeth were still living in the parish in 1734 when their son John was born.89
It is clear that the Richmond County Spendergrass family remained closely associated with the more prominent families of that county as they moved southwest and were soon joined by Colo Spotswood, with whom the Thorntons, Strothers, Branhams, and Sissons also had major business dealings.
After 1733, when the John born 1697 died, the only known surviving male remnants of the James [Sr] and Mary Spendergrass family were James [Jr,] who had trained as a shoemaker, born 1692, his nephew James (the Tailor) born 1729, James [Jr]’s apparent sons Daniel and Robert, born before 1715, and Robert and Elizabeth’s son John, born in North Farnham Parish in 1734.
Since it is known that James [the Tailor] was bound out to Colonel Landon Carter to learn the trade,90 and that Daniel indentured himself, it is not unthinkable that James Spendergrass[Jr], who had trained as a shoemaker for a least two or three years under the tutelage of Anthony Gilbert, had gone into servitude with Carter’s peer, Alexander Spotswood, and was the same James Pendergrass, shoemaker, whose shop on Spotswood’s Spotsylvania County estate was burglarized in 1728 by a fellow servant.91 There are no known records placing him in both counties at the same time. James[Jr] was missing from Richmond county records between the births of his two daughters in 1721 and 1729, then litigated there (once as a joint defendant with Robert) until 1740, after which he was not mentioned there again. [Note: the James sued jointly with Robert in 1737 could not have been James [the Tailor] who was still a child. James [Jr] would have been 45 and of the right age to have had an adult son.]
In 1722, James [Jr] of Richmond County was fined by the Court for not attending his parish Church, a fairly unusual event at the time.92 [4-F]
From 1728, with his first indictment for not attending church,93 [6-E] some John (S)pendergrass, a carpenter, [6-A] appeared continuously in court and church records of Spotsylvania and Orange counties and St Mark’s parish.94 He engaged in an ongoing legal skirmish with the rascally and very prominent William Russell95(the same William Russell for whom Daniel Spendergrass had witnessed a promissory note). In 1729, he witnessed a deed of land from John Hadocks of St George’s parish, Spotsylvania to Francis Thornton of St Mary’s parish in Caroline County,96 signaling Francis Thornton’s move to Spotsylvania/Orange. Francis Thornton previously dwelt and attended church in North Farnham Parish with the Spendergrasses there.
In 1737, John appeared in John Hadock’s precinct of Orange County, and was taxed for two tithes, so his household contained himself and another white male, both born before 1721.97 On this same list were Colonel Spotswood’s tithes, for whom James the shoemaker had been working in 1728.98 The adjacent precinct was headed by overseer Henry Thornton, who in 1755 with his brother Roger Jr bought land on Sandy Creek with survey assistance by Spenser Spendergrass.99 [Of note is that Edward Spencer was a prominent citizen in Orange County, Virginia, but had peviously married into a tangle of Richmond County families who were neighbors and associates of the Spendergrasses there.]
In March,1744, a Rebecca Pendergrass was paid a witness fee by the Orange County (Va) court.100 John continued to ply his carpenter trade, sued and was sued, and continued getting indicted and fined for skipping church. In 1747 he and William Russell sued each other over unspecified carpentry work John did for him that William Russell found unsatisfactory.101 Each party armed himself with an attorney and litigated fiercely until the court finally appointed a neutral committee to go out and value the work.102 William Russell was one of the judges on the court where the lawsuits took place, so it is not surprising that a judgment was entered against John for some portion of the total, which he made William Russell work to collect but did eventually pay.103
Also in 1749, judgment was entered against John by the parish for being delinquent on his levies in 1747 and 1748.104 In both years he was said to have had “no efects”, and for the year 1747 was taxed for two tithes, himself and another white male born before 1728. In 1748, John still had “no efects” but was taxed for three tithes, indicating, among other possibilities, that some white male in his household had attained the age of 16 in the past year (so born 1732). John the Carpenter, having been at least 21 in 1728 (unless emancipated) was old enough to have had sons over age 16 in 1737, 1747 and 1748.[4-J, 4-K]
In 1751, back in Richmond County, James(the Tailor) sold his two parcels of land and disappeared105. No trace of him has been found in Richmond County after the sale or anywhere in Virginia. (In 1798 Louden County, a Thomas Scolfield was taxed for himself, Thomas Scolfield Jr and some James Pendergras,106 but James [the Tailor] would have been 69 years old by then, and the Sandy Creek Pendergrasses had been in place in North Carolina for over forty years, so there seems to have been no connection. In the years below, the St Mark’s parish vestry book recorded the following annual expenses:
In 1749, James Pendergrass was ordered discharged from the parish levy “for the futur”.(James[Jr] would have been 57 in that year)107
In 1752, John Pendergrass was paid for constructing a horse (mounting) block.108
In 1755, John Pendergrass was paid for “keeping James Pendergrass for the past year”109
In 1756, John Pendergrass’ personal accounts due to him from the parish were paid to his assignee, Colonel William Russell,110 indicating that John was no longer there to collect the money owed him. Thereafter, despite a diligent search, no mention of any (S)pendergrass has been found in Orange or Spotsylvania counties. By the end of 1755, Spencer was with Henry and Roger Thornton surveying land on Sandy Creek, North Carolina,110 and by 1757, some John was noticed by the tax collector, and added to the list as his first mention in North Carolina,111 the same year Spencer and William were also added. The temptation is strong to string these facts together as proof that James[Jr] named a son John after his beloved brother John (who died in 1733) and that this son John became Carpenter John of Orange County, Virginia, who cared for his father James[Jr, the Shoemaker] until his death in 1755. Many of the facts do fit this theory - both Richmond County James[Jr] and James, servant in Spotsylvania County, were shoemakers. James [Jr] in Richmond county shared close neighbors and associates with the same families he lived near in Spotsylvania and Orange. James [Jr] was married to a Rebecca and a Rebecca appeared in court in Orange County. Daniel, apparent son of James[Jr] witnessed a promissory note in Spotsylvania/Orange County and then (assuming there was only one Daniel) returned to Richmond county to indenture himself to the next door neighbor of James[Jr]’s brother John. It all fits together quite neatly, except for the one giant fly which stubbornly keeps flopping into the ointment:
Born February 1692/3 James [Jr] would have been very young indeed to have fathered a son who was in trouble for skipping church in November 1728 and was also sued at that time as an adult. At the latest, Carpenter John of Spotsylvania/Orange must have been born by 1707, when James [Jr] would have been only about 15. [Some John Pendergrass was accused of paternity when John, son of James[Sr] would have been 14 or 15,112 and at least one modern Pendergrass man fathered a child at age 15113 so not impossible, just unlikely]
Among the possibilities are that James[Jr]’s age was misjudged when he was apprenticed to his brother-in-law, but the wording of the court that he was 14 on February 15 last past seems very specific.
If James[Jr] married early - by 17 or 18 - and John the Carpenter did also, both would have been emancipated by marriage, and it is barely possible that John the Carpenter could have been sued before reaching age 21. If James[Jr] married by 1710, and John was born immediately, he could have been married by 1728, but this seems to stretch the facts very thin to fit the desired result.
Another possibility is that Spotsylvania/Orange John and James had no connection to Richmond County at all and were in fact the John and James who were tending tobacco plants and failing to acquire land in 1725 Stafford County. (The appearance of Daniel in both Richmond County and near John the Carpenter in Orange having been either a pure coincidence, two different Daniels, or because the Stafford County John and James were related to the Richmond John and James in some way as yet undiscovered.)
Another question is whether Stafford County John and James could have been connected in some way to Garrett Pendergrass, who bought and sold land there for a short while, They were born before he was, so they were not his sons, but was there some other kinship? Since Garrett seems to have originated in Pennsylvania and returned there as soon as he could, it seems unlikely, but it is possible. Another issue with this theory is YDNA testing, discussed herein. [c.f. Chapter 17]
The difference of a word or two - or the difference of a year or two - could completely change the picture of these relationships, but for now what is known for certain is that John the Carpenter of Orange County, Virginia, was litigating there from 1728 to 1755, that he had taxable white males in his household other than himself, one of whom may have been born in 1732, that he cared for some James in that James’ apparent last year of life, and that he disappeared from Orange County, Virginia records after 1755, leaving money owed to him by the St Mark’s parish church to be paid to William Russell in 1756.
Phase Three: 1755-1794 The circumstantial case for the transition of John Pendergrass of Orange County, Virginia, Carpenter, into John Senior of the Vicksboro, Sandy Creek area of North Carolina is a more compelling one. A single significant word in one adjacent state or the other could be sufficient to tip the scales from
“unproven” to “reasonable certainty”, but so far, despite years of diligent research, that one word has been elusive. A four day search of the unindexed, only roughly sequential judgments of Orange County, Virginia, turned up many instances in which the defendant to be served could not be found in the county because he had “run off” or was living in another county - even another state - and even “gone to North Carolina”. Sadly, no such Sheriff’s notation was found for “John (S)pendergrass, Carpenter, nor has there been any record found mentioning Spencer (S)pendergrass by name in that Virginia county (though because of the popularity and influence of Edward Spencer and his wife Winnefred Greene, the first name Spencer was found more often there than in most other counties.(In fact, the birth of Edward Spencer born 1710, son of Edward and Winnifred, was registered in the same North Farnham Parish as the Spendergrasses and Thorntons.114) The James[Jr] born 1692 and his wife Rebecca had a daughter named Winnefred, as well.115
Likewise, a single word or two in early North Carolina records about John,or anyone in the group, such as “late of Virginia” or “carpenter”, or even a listing of carpenter’s tools in an inventory or lawsuit, might tighten the identity link, but no such entry can be found.
Also frustrating is that while the vestry book for St. Mark’s parish survived, with intriguing entries about John the Carpenter and the James Pendergrass for whom he cared in James’ apparent last months, the parish register for those years has been lost. Those birth, death, and marriage records might quickly have solved many of the mysteries surrounding this family.
Nonetheless, there is evidence enough to make a tentative connection.
However they were related and whether they were connected to the Richmond County Spendergrass family, or the John and James who lost land in 1725 Stafford County, there were in fact a James and a John (S)pendergrass who appeared in St Mark’s parish116 of both Spotsylvnia and Orange County (which split off from Spotsylvania in 1734). In June 1728, James, a shoemaker servant to Colo Spotswood, was bonded to appear as a trial witness,117 and in November John was brought to the attention of the court for skipping church.118 (like a James in 1722.) There followed a long series of litigation events in which John sued and was sued for debts, and was in trouble more than once for not attending his parish church or chapel at least monthly. John, who appeared in both counties often, was designated in Orange County records as “John Pendergrass of Orange County, Carpenter”. The most significant of these lawsuits was a series by or against the prominent but not always very nice William Russell [see Chapter 4]
It is of note that after his mention in 1728 as a witness and victim in a theft case, James did not appear by name again in either Spotsylvania or Orange until October 1749 when he was excused from paying the parish levy. No reason was given, but levies were normally forgiven only for age, infirmity, or poverty. James [Jr] of Richmond County would have been 57. It is of note that some James (S)pendergrass, after no mention of any James in Richmond County records between 1721 and 1729, was again named in records there from 1729 to 1740 and not thereafter.
It is also interesting that Daniel, apparent son of Richmond County James [Jr] and Rebecca, witnessed a promissory note from Joseph Keaton to William Russell, both parties of St. Mark’s parish, in Orange County in 1734, for which note Joseph Keaton was promptly sued.119 Then, in 1736 Daniel himself was successfully sued back in Richmond County for 547 pounds of tobacco,120 which with his other debts, must have been a sizable sum, because in order to have his debts paid, Daniel voluntarily indentured himself as an adult to Tobias Purcell, the next door neighbor to widow Elizabeth Cribin (Spendergrass)(Medford) for 6 years and 7 months.121
During this time, from 1729 to at least 1740, some James (S)pendergrass was back in Richmond court records again. The 1729 parish record was for the birth of a daughter to James[Jr] and Rebecca, and James was sued jointly in 1737 with a Robert Pendergrass, his apparent son.122 By 1743, the term of Daniel’s indenture to Tobias Purcell in Richmond County should have expired, and it is intriguing that in 1744, in Orange County, a Rebecca Pendergrass was paid a witness fee for three days’ attendance in court,123 and that in 1749 there, James was excused from the St Mark’s parish levy124 and that in 1755 John the Carpenter was paid by that parish for having “kept” James for the past year, evidently due to his failing health.125 Richmond County James[Jr] with known wife Rebecca would have been 63 in that year.
Carpenter John was taxed for two white male tithes in 1737, two in 1747 but three in 1748, indicating a likelihood that a white male in his household turned 16 in that year and was therefore born in 1732. (Other explanations exist, of course, but this event is noteworthy.)
The St Mark’s vestry book for 1749 discharged James Pendergrass (evidently for age or disability) from future levies, in 1752 listed a payment to John Pendergrass for building a horse block for the church (so this was Carpenter John), in 1755 for “keeping” James Pendergrass for the previous year” (evidently his last) and in 1756 paid John’s account to his assignee (and nemesis), Colonel William Russell, after which there is no further mention of any (S)pendergrass in Spotsylvania/Orange County, Virginia.
A complete list of all the men in all the militia districts in old Granville County, North Carolina, is extant for December 1754126 and contained no one named Pendergrass by any spelling. In Capt Sugar [Sugan] Jones’ company appeared many of the Pendergrass’ soon-to-be close neighbors and in-laws, but no Pendergrass was there. Since militia duty was mandatory, this is solid proof that they arrived in North Carolina in 1755, because the first mention of any (S)pendergrass in the Sandy Creek area of North Carolina occurred in December 1755, when Spenser Spendergrass carried a survey chain for Roger and Henry Thornton.127 Both Thorntons had been born in North Farnham parish where the Richmond County Spendergrass family also lived and worshipped. No later than 1760, Spencer had married Roger’s daughter Sarah Thornton, and in fact was listed as his own taxable head of household by1757.128
Next to appear in old Granville County records was some John Pendergrass who was listed at the end of the 1757 tax list along with John Serug Askew, whose descendants married Jesse Pendergrass descendants, and William Oliver, fresh from St George’s parish in Spotsylvania County, whose granddaughter Betsy later married “Buncombe” John Pendergrass. William Oliver was added as an afterthought under the totalled list.129 On this same list appeared Francis Strothers, son of the Francis Sr who had been prominent in St Mark’s parish church and Orange County, Virginia court matters.130
The first three Pendergrass men into old Granville/Bute/Warren counties North Carolina, were Spencer, William, and some (at least one) John. In 1757/8, all three were taxed as “those known to have been living in the county for the past year”131 and on that same list appeared, Lewis Pugh, whose father Lewis Pugh Sr had sold a parcel of land to John, son of James[Sr] in 1727 Richmond County, Virginia.132
The old theory, taken from the 1977 book and outlined in Section A, above, hypothesized that the two baby boys born in Northumberland County, Virginia (Robert in 1711 and William in 1714) forty years later came to settle in two different North Carolina counties (Robert in Orange and William in old Granville/Bute). This theory has now been disproven because YDNA of the two groups does not match, at least as far back as the 1730s. For certain, the Robert who settled in Orange and the William who came into old Granville with a Spencer and at least one John cannot have been brothers.
The previous theory, that William and his wife/widow Mary were John and Spencer’s parents,was based on the supposition that William was the baby boy born 1714 in Northumberland and therefore was a generation older than they. Since YDNA testing has now shown that this is very unlikely, leaving William’s age unspecified, this author proposes an alternate and more fact-compatible theory - that Carpenter John of Orange County, Virgina, was the father of William, Spencer, and the John who became “Wake” John, and as grounds therefore would state:
The link between Carpenter John of Orange County, Virginia, is strengthened by the timing of his
disappearance from all records there in 1755/6 and the immediate arrival of someone of the same name into the Sandy Creek area of North Carolina, first in old Granville, then Bute, then Warren/Franklin counties as the boundaries changed around them.
An influx of some 5,000 new settlers travelled overland into old Granville county from Virginia in 1755, following an established trading route,133
In Orange County, Virginia, John (S)pendergrass the Carpenter had other white males over 16 in his household besides himself in 1737 (one) 1747 (one) and 1748 (two). One of the 1748 males, it can be argued, had just turned 16 and was therefore born in 1732. An older male, over 16 in 1737 would account for the seemingly somewhat older William, and the two males in 1748 for John and Spencer, whose ages, from the births of their children, seem to be closer together. There are, of course, other interpretations of this data, which does not identify the white males by name or explain 1737 William’s whereabouts if “Wake” John and Spencer are the two 1747 and 1748 males. Another possibility is that William and one of the other two were the two taxables and a third was still under 16. (If “Carpenter” John had a son John who was not of age 16 in 1748 this could explain why only one John was taxed in old Granville between 1757 and 1761, when two Johns were first listed)
Also, of course, the “extra” males could have been hired hands, sons-in-law or even James the Shoemaker, but for this origin theory discussion, the likeliest cause of paying (or in this case, not paying) a parish levy for free white males in one’s household is that they were one’s sons. [Note: The fact that John was paid by the church for “keeping” James in 1755 is at least some faint indication that he was not normally in that household until he became older or infirm and unable to care for himself]
Titheables lists between 1737 and 1747 for Orange and Spotsylvania are missing, which deprives researchers of valuable information about this family during those important years, and, lamentably, the St Mark’s parish register which should have contained birth, death, and marriage records is also missing for those years. However, from those records which remain, it is clear that John the Carpenter had other, younger, white males in his household before leaving the area in 1755.
In 1761 Sandy Creek district, on a delinquents list of “haus capers warn’d to turn in their lists” comprised of 38 men and two widows, there were listed a John SENIOR, a John and a Spencer Pendergrays [sic.]134 William was in a nearby tax district slightly further to the south. On this same short list was Francis Strother [Jr], whose father Francis Strother[Sr] was prominent in Spotsylvania/Orange society and in the same church that John the Carpenter and James attended. The elder Francis Strother died in St Mark’s parish in 1752, and his son settled in the same small area of the county as the Pendergrasses, Thorntons, and Olivers. Roger and Henry Thornton had likewise been in St Mark’s parish and on tax lists with Carpenter John there before buying the land on both sides of Sandy Creek that Spencer Spendergrass helped survey in December 1755.135There are other families in records of Orange County, Virginia, who later appeared in old Granville records, [6-C,7-B] and there even appears to have been some William Russell who settled in old Granville County.
Another link between John the Carpenter of Orange County, Virginia and the Pendergrasses of Sandy Creek, is that Thomas and Mary Garrett were also living in Orange County, Virginia,[6-B] in the 1740s and then came to the Sandy Creek area. By 1778 when Thomas Sr had died and his son Thomas laid claim to some disputed land, Thomas’ mother, the widowed Mary Garrett, the widow Weaver, and some widow Pendergrass were all living on the same piece of land.136 Since Spencer, “Wake”John, and “Bob’s” John, and possibly William, were all still living, the question arises as to just whose widow the Widow Pendergrass actually was.
One of several answers is that she might have been the widow [Rebecca?] of Carpenter John, who had (theoretically) died between his appearance as John SENIOR on the 1761 Haus Capers’ list and 1778 when she was mentioned as a widow and living on Garrett land. There is no record of any land purchased by any Pendergrass in the Sandy Creek area until Spencer bought land on Linches Creek in 1763.137 There is no indication of what, if any, family relationship existed between the three widows.
Since Richmond County James[Jr] was married to a Rebecca Unknown, and a Rebecca Pendergrass testified in an Orange County, Virginia, court, it is even possible that the Widow Pendergrass was Rebecca, widow of James[Jr], who had come to North Carolina with the family after James’ death. (Assuming that James [Jr] of Richmond was in fact the same person as James the shoemaker in Orange,)
Because the Allen Pendergraft book misplaced “Third” Will Pendergrass, revolutionary soldier of the Orange County, North Carolina, group (the William who served the entire war and died by 1785) with the unrelated Sandy Creek/“Wake” John group, Will’s verified 1785 death date has been attributed to William of the Sandy Creek group, and since William’s widow Mary was head of hosuehold in July 1786,138 this attribution has not been questioned. However, a diligent search of the Sandy Creek area records does not reveal any mention of William after his appearance on Hawkins’ Granville/Bute insolvents list in 1771. Bute County tax lists are missing for the intervening years, so it is not possible to say exactly when William died.
By 1786, though, Mary was listed as head of household in the Fishing Creek district, with only one other household member - a free white female with no name or age given.[Rebecca?]
There is no explanation (or penalty) given for Mary’s not having had William’s estate administered within the required 90 days, but the triggering event seems to have been the death of a Rebecca Pendergrass in 1789.139 John Pendergrass (the only known John left in the area by then was “Wake” John) posted bond to administer her modest estate and on the same day in September, Mary posted bond to administer William’s also modest holdings.140 In neither estate was there any mention of land. Two items among Rebecca’s belongings were “a bed and chest left in the hands of William Pendergrass [for] his life and [then to his] heirs” 141 Unfortunately, there is no mention of who those heirs might have been, and even more frustratingly, if any record of an estate sale for either ever existed, this author has not been able to find it after exhaustive searches of the archives and the Franklin courthouse (where the original inventories are stored), even with professional assistance of those very familiar with such records..
One might readily interpret the “bed and chest left in the hands of William” for his life and then to his heirs as Rebecca’s way of keeping those items in her (eldest?) son’s (or grandson’s) possession to be passed down through the family. That John was granted the administration of her estate is another indication that he was her son or grandson. With Spencer having been absent from area records since about 1782, presumed deceased, and William definitely dead by 1786, “Wake” John would have been the natural choice. Also, some Rebecca Pendergrass testified as a witness in Orange County, Virginia court in 1744 at the very same time Carpenter John was in the same courthouse busily suing and being sued.142
An excellent observation made by Bennet George, a “Wake” John descendant, in discussions about these matters is that the best estimates put Spencer’s death at about 1782, William’s by 1786, and “Wake’ John’s in 1794, giving at least some indication that they were of the same generation and that William was an older brother to Spencer and “Wake” John rather than father. Also, William was still paying poll tax in Bute County in 1771, and possibly later (lists are missing), so was not likely to have been born much earlier than about 1721. Spencer Sr. and “Wake” John were heads of household by 1757, and having families no later than 1760, so born in the 1730s, too early to have been sons of someone still paying poll tax in 1771. This would explain more handily why Rebecca would leave a bed and chest in William’s hands to be passed down to his heirs, and it would also assist in untangling the several Bute County Johns, “Buncombe” John, and Nimrod of North Carolina.[See section 6C] Additionally, it would help explain whose widow the “Widow Pendergrass” on Garrett land was in 1778, and who the other white female living with Mary was in July 1786, - her mother-in-law or grandmother-in-law - and why Mary waited until after Rebecca’s death to administer William’s estate.
It is clear that Rebecca Unknown (Pendergrass) was a widow who had not remarried, because husbands owned their wives’ property at that time and her estate would have gone to her husband without court proceedings if he had survived her. For the same reason, it is clear that although “Wake” John was appointed her administrator, he was not her husband.
“Wake” John and later his son Jesse were continuously on tax lists in the same Sandy Creek neighborhood from 1757 until 1785 when they both disappeared from records for about three years. From tax and census lists, it appears that first Spencer and later Jesse (son of “Wake” John) went to live with or near Mary for a while after William’s death. Then, in April 1789, “Wake” John bought and physically moved to land in the extreme northeastern corner of Wake County,143 dying there in 1794144 and leaving as his widow his only known wife, Hannah Unknown.
Last and most definitely least, because it is perilous to place reliance on anything even remotely connected to the spelling of surnames, is the use of the unusual surname spelling “Spendergrass”. The earliest known instance of it, in this family history, and the probable origin of it as elision, was the Maryland James Spendergrass who signed in full the petition for laying out a town in 1683 Calvert County.145 It was next seen in the Richmond County, Virginia records, where Spendergrass, commencing with James[Sr], was normally used in court and parish records, even without elision, more often than Pendergrass and other variants. Then, living alongside the Thorntons, Sissons, Spencers, Branhams, and other associated Richmond county families who had moved southwest, Carpenter John was listed in several Spotsylvania/Orange records, particularly titheables lists, as John Spendergrass, though less often than as Pendergrass in his many court battles. In the case of “Carpenter” John there was no elision. Finally, in his 1755 first mention in North Carolina and again without elision, Spenser Spendergrass was a sworn chain carrier for the Thorntons,146 and was called Spendergrass again when mentioned in a deed not long afterward.147 Thereafter, no instance of the “Spendergrass” variant has been found in any record (though other variants of Pendergrass certainly abound)
C. The Tangled Johns of Orange, Old Granville and Bute Counties Before YDNA testing, it was thought by some researchers that “Wake” John and Spencer were William and Mary’s sons, and by at least one author (widely copied) that “Sandy Creek/Bute” William was the brother of Orange County,North Carolina, Robert and that both were the baby boys born in Northumberland County, Virginia. It was also thought that “Bob’s” John, who married Margaret Pownall before 1770, appeared independently directly from England and was only coincidentally associated with the Sandy Creek Pendergrasses. Later, when YDNA showed that “Wake” John, Spencer, “Bob’s” John and “Buncombe” John were all closely related genetically, (not at all related to the Orange County NC group) researchers began to consider that “Bob’s” John might have been “Wake” John’s son, but the timeline was very tight when all facts were considered.
In previous works,148 the Orange County [North Carolina] Pendergrass group and the Sandy Creek Pendergrass group, were thought to have been one big family,by that author, and as a result there has been considerable confusion of the North Carolina Johns and Williams.
To dispense with him quickly, there was “Chatham” John, so called because he was living there when he applied for a revolutionary pension, after Chatham split from Orange County. He was born in 1749. This John (apparent son of William Sr and Martha “Patti” Unknown) and his wife/widow Mary Rigsbee had a son John [Jr]. and “Chatham” John[Sr]’s military service has sometimes mistakenly been attributed to “Wake” John, who did not serve. Efforts to correct this error, published by the DAR in its Patriot Index, have not been successful. These two Orange/Chatham Johns are not connected to the Sandy Creek Pendergrass group genetically or by any known documentary evidence.
It was also a series of mistakes by that 1977 author which confused the four early Williams and wrongly placed William Jr (and a Thomas) with the Sandy Creek group.149 William Jr is now firmly placed in Orange County by a deed of gift from his father, William Sr.150 and with “third” Will Pendergrass, none of whom were connected with Granville/Bute/Franklin County William.
As stated above, the previous theory, that Sandy Creek William and his wife Mary were John and Spencer’s parents, was based on the supposition that William was the baby boy born 1714 in Northumberland and therefore was a generation older than they. YDNA testing has now shown that Sandy Creek William was not the brother of Robert of Orange County, and not likely the William born in 1714, so his age and generation are unspecified, as well as his relationship to Spencer and the Bute County Johns.
Aside from the numerous Orange/Chatham Johns, there were at least seven John Pendergrasses in old Granville/Bute counties, or having possible connections there.
John Senior from the “1761 “Haus Capers” list (Carpenter John of Orange Co, Va?)
John [Jr] from the 1761 “Haus Capers” list
“Wake” John of Sandy Creek who died 1794 (same person as John Jr?)
“Bob’s” John who married Margaret Pownall ( Margaret was born in 1748.)
“Countryline” John of that tax district in Granville County in the 1760s
“Soldier” John born Virginia 1734/5, in militia in Virginia 1757/8.
“Buncombe” John born somewhere in about 1768, who married Betsy Oliver.
In old Granville/Bute, each of these first five Johns always appeared as only one white poll on tax lists, commencing with one John in 1757 without any indication of age, so that the best that can be done is to extrapolate their ages from the births of their children and the dates of their deaths.
From 1757 through 1760, only one John was listed on old Granville tax rolls, near Aaron Fussell and John Pownall. In 1760, some John Pendergrass carried a survey chain for close neighbor Thomas Crabb, a physically demanding job usually done by younger men.151 In 1761, John Pownall, father of “Bob’s” John’s bride, purchased new land on Flat Rock Creek, south of Sandy Creek.152 On the 1761 countywide tax roll, which did list the names of those for whom the head of household was taxed, only one John Pendergrass was listed and with no taxable sons. “Carpenter” John of Orange County Virginia would have been at least 54 years old.
In the same year, though, on the “Haus Capers” roster of 40 delinquent Sandy Creek householders, there appeared close together a John Senior, a John and a Spencer, all independent heads of household.153 There was no indication of how many taxables were in their households because their numbers had not yet been submitted when the list was made. This is the only known instance of any of these Johns having been designated as senior or junior, and the fact that a John was carrying a survey chain in 1760 and was added to a delinquents list with a Sr in 1761 is a strong indication that John, son of John Sr, was just coming of age and perhaps setting up his own household. This argument is bolstered by the fact that “Wake” John and Hannah’s first known child was born about 1760, and that in 1766 close neighbor Robert Day was taxed for a John Pendergrass in his household.154 Meanwhile, at least one John, William and Spencer continued to appear on various Sandy Creek tax lists.
Around this time, there appeared an unidentified John Pendergrass who in 1763 carried a survey chain for land on Jonathan’s Creek, a good ways to the northwest of Sandy Creek but still in old Granville County.155 When Bute was created from the eastern half of old Granville, this John remained in Granville, listed as one white poll in Countryline district (which adjoined the Virginia state line). He was always near a Seth Pettipool (even when lists were not alphabetized) in each year from 1764 to 1771, in which year he also signed a petition about a church building.156 Thereafter, he was not found in Granville or Bute County records (at least in that location). “Countryline” John had to have been born no later than 1748.
“Chatham” John, born 1749, was slightly too young to have been “Countryline” John, as was “Buncombe” John, not yet born, and “Bob’s” John, with estimated birth year of about 1745 (based on his wife’s documented birth year of 1748)157, who could have been born earlier but is still a somewhat tight fit for married head of household by 1764.
However, just to cover all bases, since “Countryline” John disappeared from there after 1771 and John Pownall disappeared from North Carolina after 1772 (buying land in South Carolina in 1775)158 it is at least conceivable that “Countryline” John was the same person as “Bob’s” John, born sometime around 1745, which would leave the other two Johns living in 1771 Sandy Creek district as “Carpenter” John and “Wake” John. “Bob’s” John was married to John Pownall’s daughter Margaret no later than1770, but could have married sooner or have gone away to work and then returned. “Countryline” John first appeared as an independent householder in 1764, Bob’s John’s first identified child was born in 1771. (Almost anything is possible.)
“Bob’s” John had his own well-documented son John, Jr, born in 1777 in South Carolina, who married Jane “Jincy” Howse.159
Another John was born in some unknown location around 1768 (from his stated age on his father in law’s pension application)160 that researchers have nicknamed “Buncombe” John because that is where he first appeared of record.161 From a very strong YDNA match to “Wake” John and Spencer, along with the names of his children, and the fact that his wife’s father grew up near the Sandy Creek group, it is certain that “Buncombe” John was somehow part of the Sandy Creek family. [See section 6D, below] A year or two later, Nimrod of North Carolina was born somewhere in the state. [See section 6E, below].
In 1771, “Countryline” John Pendergrass was taxed for one white poll in that district, a John head of household with no other taxable white males was on a list taken by Thomas Bell, and another John was on Henderson’s list near Arron Fussell and John Pownall.162 [Note: Unlike census lists, tax lists were turned in by householders, not taken door to door.]
Postulated in the past but now generally rejected by researchers is the idea that “Wake” John was “Bob’s” John’s father, with “Wake” John as the John Senior from the “Haus Capers” list and ‘Bob’s John as the John listed below him who married Margaret Pownall by 1770. The reasoning is this: Margaret Pownall’s birth was recorded along with her parents’ marriage in Overwharton Parish, Stafford County, Virginia, in 1748.163 Statistically, her husband would most likely have been born by then or a few years earlier, putting his birth year somewhere around 1745. Their first known child, Nathaniel, was born in September 1771, so they were married no later than 1770, when “Bob’s” John would have been about 25.
“Wake” John and Hannah Unknown’s first known child, Solomon, was born about 1760, with siblings born every two or three years until about 1785. A gap between 1745 (or even 1748) to 1760 is a very long gap between births for a known childbearing couple, and to have been the parents of “Bob’s” John, they would have had to have been born by 1725, married young by 1745 and continued having children, for the next forty years, with a fifteen year gap between the first two. Moreover, “Wake” John was still paying poll taxes in 1785 but excused by 1792.164 Although 50 was not yet the firm tax exemption age, it was generally observed, so he likely turned 50 sometime between those years, putting his birth somewhere around 1735, too young to have fathered “Bob’s” John in 1745, but just right to have started a family in 1760. As far as is known, Hannah was “Wake” John’s only wife, so to have had her last child in about 1785 (Anney, who married in 1805) Hannah could not have been born much earlier than 1735 and was therefore too young to have been “Bob’s” John’s mother.
It has also been postulated that “Wake” John was the same person as “Soldier” John, Planter, who enlisted in the Northumberland County militia at age 21,165 and that “Soldier” John was the same John who was born to Robert and Elizabeth Spendergrass in North Farnham Parish, Richmond County, Virginia in 1734.166 The math fits for “Soldier” John to have been Robert’s son, and Northumberland was very near Richmond County, but there is nothing proving the connection and no mention of what happened to “Soldier” John after his service. Whether “Soldier” John could have been “Wake” John is somewhat trickier, since the Sandy Creek Pendergrass group arrived there no later than December 1755 while “Soldier” John was still on active military duty at Ft Hopewell Virginia into April of 1758.167 It is conceivable that after he was discharged.(it is not known when), “Soldier” John came to North Carolina to rejoin the Sandy Creek group, but there is nothing to support this hypothesis. Some John was on tax lists in Sandy Creek in 1757.
Then, by 1778, some widow Pendergrass was living on Garrett land very near the Sandy Creek group in adjacent Franklin County while “Wake” John, “Bob’s” John, Spencer, possibly William, and “Buncombe” John were all still living. Which Pendergrass man, then, had died to create a widow?
By 1786, Mary, wife of William, was taxed as a widow, and in July had in her household one unnamed female of unspecified age.168 In 1789, Rebeckah Unknown (Pendergrass) possibly an unmarried sister, but likelier a widow, died and her estate was administered by some John Pendergrass,169 assumed to have been “Wake’ John, who was the only John left in the area after “Bob’s” John went to South Carolina.
Spencer[Sr] was not mentioned in North Carolina after 1782, when he was taxed in Epping Forest district near Mary’s neighborhood, nor was he mentioned in court proceedings about William or Rebeckah’s estates in September 1789. There is no record of his death, but his wife and children all moved out of the area, his wife was head of household in 1820 Overton County, Tennessee. and it is assumed that he was deceased much earlier. His unmarried daughter Sarah died in Marshall County, Alabama, in 1850, leaving a detailed list of all Spencer[Sr]’s children and grandchildren,170 and he did not have a son named John, thus eliminating him as a contender for the paternity of either Bob’s John or “Buncombe” John.
Once the old theory that William and Mary were the parents of “Wake” John and Spencer is discarded, at least for purposes of discussion, the pieces begin to fit into the puzzle more smoothly.
Suppose, that instead of John Senior of the 1761 “Haus Capers” and early tax lists having been “Wake” John and his mathematically unlikely son “Bob’s” John, we assume, arguendo, that John Senior was actually “Carpenter” John of Orange County, Virginia, and that when he disappeared from St Mark’s parish in Virginia, he and his sons, William, Spencer and “Wake” John followed Roger and Henry Thornton into Sandy Creek, North Carolina, in 1755. Spencer married Roger Thornton’s daughter Sarah by 1760.(Spencer was a head of household by1757). Assume that “Carpenter” John left St Mark’s parish because his father (or other close relative) James Pendergrass, for whom he had been caring in his home during James’ last months, had passed away, and that he brought along the Rebecca who testified in court in 1744 (either Rebecca who married James[Jr] of Richmond County, or the wife of “Carpenter” John).
Between 1737 and 1748, there were three titheables lists showing that “Carpenter”John of Orange County, Virginia, had at least two and likelier three white males in his home besides himself,171 accounting for William, listed first in 1737 and who as the eldest, had lifetime use of Rebecca’s bed and chest, then in 1747 and 1748, Spencer and “Wake” John. In 1748, one of those males appears to have been born in 1732, the right age to have been either Spencer or “Wake’ John, both of whom started families about 1760. Alternatively, the two 1748 extra taxable males could have been William and Spencer, with “Wake” John still under 16, explaining why John the Carpenter was the only head of household named on the three surviving Orange County,Virginia, titheables lists.
On the 1761 Sandy Creek “Haus Capers” list, then, assume John Senior was “Carpenter” John and the other John, listed with Spencer, was the John who later became”Wake” John. He had just become a head of household with Hannah and his first known child, Solomon, was born around that time. This would explain why until 1761, only one John had appeared on tax lists in old Granville.
“Carpenter” John would not have had two sons named John, and since “Buncombe” John descendants are a closer YDNA match to “Wake” John than descendants of “Bob’s” John (whose age doesn’t fit), and since he had children named for the “Wake” John family, and was born during the time when “Wake” John and Hannah were having their children (slotting in neatly between Jesse and Benjamin), the likeliest placement for “Buncombe” John is as son of “Wake” John and grandson of “Carpenter” John.
Spencer did not have a son named John, so this configuration frees up the eldest, and apparently older brother, William and his wife Mary Unknown to have been the parents of “Bob’s John, born sometime around 1745. If William were the first white male besides “Carpenter” John listed as over 16 in 1737, then he was born no later than 1621, could easily have married Mary and had “Bob’s” John by 1745, explaining why “Bob’s” John is a solid match to the Sandy Creek group genetically, but not quite as close a match to “Wake” John and Spencer descendants as “Buncombe” John. William’s widow Mary was still alive in 1799 to witness a Dickerson will,172 though it is not known with whom she was then living.
“Carpenter” John, born by 1707 to have litigated in 1728, would have been at least 54 years old when named on the “Haus Capers list” in 1761. Only he and one other man were designated as “senior” and neither had a check by his name as having turned in his list, though nearly everyone else, including John and Spencer, had done so. It is at least possible that he had been exempted from taxes for age.
By 1778, when the widow Pendergrass was living with two other widows on Garrett land (the Garretts having come in from Orange County, Virginia, with several sons of their own), “Carpenter” John would have been at least 71, and if he had died between 1761 and 1778, that would explain whose widow she was, though she could also have been “Carpenter” John’s widowed mother (Rebecca, wife of James[Jr]?).If the latter, there might never have been an occasion for “Carpenter” John’s wife to have been mentioned in any record, especially if she predeceased him..
In July 1786, William’s widow Mary Unknown was living with another white female whose name and age were not given, who may or may not have been the same Rebecca who died in 1789 leaving the bed and chest to William’s heirs. On the same day that (“Wake”?) John posted bond to administer Rebecca’s estate. Mary bonded to administer William’s. Mary, as William’s widow, would have had preference as his administrator, but not necessarily as Rebecca’s. John, as her son or grandson, would have had preference to administer Rebecca’s estate, all of them tied together as a family by Rebecca’s having left the bed and chest in William’s hands for life and then to his unnamed heirs.
So, it is this author’s contention, based on the best and most current research available, that “Carpenter” John of Orange County, Virginia, and his wife (or mother?) Rebecca, with his three sons, William, Spencer, and (“Wake”) John, left St Mark’s Parish when John’s father (or other close relative) James died there in 1755, and followed the Thorntons into the Sandy Creek area of North Carolina, near present day Vicksboro. Further,it is posited that the John Senior on the 1761 “Haus Capers’” list was “Carpenter” John and that the other John was “Wake” John, that “Buncombe” John was the son of “Wake” John and Hannah, and that “Bob’s” John was therefore the son of elder brother William and his wife Mary.
Once again, the reader is reminded that this author is reasoning hypothetically in this Chapter, and that although the facts are verified, the theories based on them are not.
D. The Paternity of Buncombe John: While there is no documentary evidence of “Buncombe” John’s paternity, a sturdy circumstantial case can be made for his having been the son of “Wake’ John.
The two strongest pieces of evidence are that his direct male descendant was a perfect YDNA genetic match to several “Wake” John and Spencer descendants, and that the first names of his children were eerily similar to those of “Wake” John, Hannah, and their close family. Recently, autosomal DNA testing has further cemented the bonds between “Buncombe” John descendants and their “Wake” John cousins.
“Buncombe” John first appeared of record, not in Warren or Wake, North Carolina, but in the Buncombe County, North Carolina, 1800 census as a married head of household with two toddler sons, so the strong genetic match to the Sandy Creek group came as something of a surprise.
However, his father-in-law, Benjamin Oliver, born in Fairfax County, Virginia,173 was brought to old Granville County (later Bute, then Warren/Franklin) as a child, and grew up on Eaves Mill Creek about four miles from “Wake” John’s Sandy Creek family. Benjamin’s father, William Oliver, first appeared as an afterthought with John Pendergrass and John Serug Askew on the 1757/8 county-wide tax list, his name having been added after the original totals had been made, indicating that he had only recently been discovered in the county. William Oliver had abruptly disappeared from the St. George’s Parish (Spotsylvania County, Virginia) vestry book after 1757/8,174 and his estate was probated in 1762, leaving his land to Benjamin, then about age 10, and to Benjamin’s sisters.175
As a young man, Benjamin Oliver left the area and at about age 25, joined the revolution from Washington County, North Carolina,176 then in the western frontier and not where a county by the same name is located today. After the revolution, in 1786, when “Buncombe” John would have been about 18, Benjamin personally travelled back to Franklin County to sell his half of the property on Eaves Mill Creek that he had inherited from his father.177 In that deed, his residence was given as Laurens County, South Carolina. In 1786, his daughter Betsy, who married “Buncombe” John at some later time and place, would have been no more than about ten years of age, at least based on later census records. (A male born in 1768 would not yet have appeared on a tax list by 1786, the age having been raised to 21 by then.)
It is not known whether “Buncombe” John left with Benjamin Oliver for some reason, or connected with him from somewhere else later, but the fact is that there was opportunity for them to have known one another in Franklin or Warren County, and Benjamin Oliver’s pension records confirm that “Buncombe” John did marry Benjamin’s daughter Betsy.
Those same pension records gave “Buncombe” John’s birth year as around 1768,without specifying a location. Spencer Sr’s children were set forth by name in his daughter Sarah’s 1850 Alabama estate administration, and he did not have a son named John, leaving only two identified adult males of the genetic Sandy Creek family likely to have fathered him. “Wake” John, who was having known children from at least 1760 through about 1785, and William,who had no documented children but seems the best candidate to have fathered “Bob’s” John.
Neither of these men would have been likely to have had two sons named John, but there were in fact two identified Johns of that genetic group - “Bob’s” John, born about 1745/51,178 who is known to have lived near the group and to have married Margaret Pownall there, and the younger “Buncombe” John, born about 1768. William appears to have been the older of the two possible fathers, though there is nothing solid that says so other than his death a few years before “Wake” John’s.
Two factors seem to break the tie: a direct male Buncombe John descendant was a solid YDNA match to both “Wake” John and Spencer descendants, and he was a slightly closer match to them than “Bob’s” John’s descendants . While it is never safe to make assumptions based solely on names,and while there was a fairly small pool of British Isles first names, there is still the fact of “Buncombe” John’s children’s names, so similar to “Wake” John, his wife Hannah, their sons Benjamin and Moses (and perhaps Raleigh), daughter Anna, two grandsons named Raleigh, and William’s wife/widow Mary, Among “ Buncombe” John’s eldest children were Benjamin, Raleigh, Hannah, Mary, Moses, and a bit further down the line, a John. “Benjamin” could certainly have been for his father-in-law, but the first name “Raleigh” was rarely seen in Pendergrass families other than “Wake” John descendants, where it was used with unusual frequency.
Recently, as previously mentioned, there have also been autosomal DNA matches between “Wake” John descendants and “Buncombe” John descendants, though in fairness, there are no known William descendants to test if “Bob’s” John was not his son.
Given all the circumstances and the strong YDNA and autosomal matches, this author concludes that “Buncombe” John was almost certainly “Wake” John’s son, but cautions that as of this writing there is no documentary proof of that paternity.
Because paternity is not proven conclusively, “Buncombe” John’s history and descendants are outlined separately from “Wake” John’s in Chapter 8, below.
E. The Paternity of Nimrod of North Carolina: One of the most puzzling individuals in this book, Nimrod Pendergrass of North Carolina, (not to be confused with Nimrod of Tennessee, son of “Bob’s John)according to later census records was born about 1769 somewhere in North Carolina and first appeared of record in Capt. Lewis’ tax district 11 in 1795 and 1797, intriguingly near sons of Spencer Pendergrass Sr, In the 1800 Morgan, Wilkes County, census, he was 26-45 with a white female of the same age, two white males and a female under ten. By the 1810 census, Nimrod and family had relocated, apparently physically and not due to a boundary change, to adjacent Iredell County. where they remained until his death after the 1850 census, when he was living with his son (yet another) John Pendergrass and family.
Although Nimrod himself lived past 81, as did his son John, his other descendants seem to have had extraordinarily bad luck. His older son Warren died in 1843,179 and Warren’s children almost all died young. Amanda, born 1818 died soon after her marriage in 1844, apparent daughter Mary Ann in 1853,180 son Franklin M died at age 19 without marrying,181 son Julius Rufus, a physician, died at age 26 leaving everything to his mother,182 Harvey A, born about 1834 died at age 19,183 and Junius Filow, a bank clerk, died of diphtheria at age 17.184 Near Warren’s headstone in the Old Union Burying Ground in Stony Point, Alexander County, besides those of Franklin, Harvey and Junius, there are other Pendergrass burials of probable children who died early - A Gareith at age 16/17 and a Mary Ann, probable daughter or daughter -in-law who died at about age 27.
Nimrod’s son John Pendergrass married Delilah Jane Patterson by about 1836185 and in the 1850 Iredell County census they listed only one child: S or L Houston Pendergrass, shown as a female. [Note: about this time the custom of naming children for military and political “heroes” was coming into vogue, and Sam Houston was prominent in Texas in the 1830s, so it is tempting to believe that the name was S. Houston and that the female designation was a clerical error, but in all census records she was female.
Nmrod and family have not been located in the 1860 census but in 1870 census they were in Alexander County living with a Medora Lyons, who was listed as a domestic servant but who was related in some way, because Delilah died between 1870 and the 1880 census, in which John was listed as widowed and living with his nephew, Bedford B Lyons. In no record yet located is there any indication of any other child for John or any further mention of S or L Houston Pendergrass.
Thus, this Nimrod’s family daughtered out completely and if there are any surviving descendants, they have not yet been located, leaving no one for YDNA comparison or even autosomal testing.
Despite the lack of genetic proof of a relationship, there are two things which connect Nimrod to the Sandy Creek “Wake” John Pendergrass group.
“Nimrod” even at that time was a rather unusual Biblical first name, but it was also found in one other Sandy Creek Pendergrass family. “Bob’s” John who married Margaret, daughter of “Wake” John’s neighbors John Pownall and Margaret Nelson, had a son also named Nimrod, born in Lancaster County, South Carolina in 1781, 12 years later than North Carolina Nimrod.186 There is no question that this younger Nimrod was closely related to the Sandy Creek group, both through traditional documentation and genetic matches and two such identical first names in a small associated group of men with the same unusual surname cannot be coincidence.
Though they are often confused with one another, “Bob’s” John’s Nimrod married Martha “Patsy” Reynolds in 1804 Lancaster County and lived most of his later life in Tennessee.187 “North Carolina” Nimrod was married sometime around 1790 in North Carolina, though his wife remains unidentified, and he stayed in North Carolina for life.
The Nimrod born in North Carolina about 1769 was not a descendant of Spencer Pendergrass Sr, according to Spencer Sr’s daughter Sarah’s estate administration in 1850 Marshall County, Alabama, which named her siblings, dead and alive, and their descendants in great detail.188 It is therefore very interesting that Spencer Sr’s eldest son James was taxed for land in Wilkes County in 1782 and that James and his brothers Thornton and Joel were there in the same small tax district with Nimrod in 1795 and 1797, the only Pendergrass men listed on Capt Lewis’s tax rolls, and in the entire county.189
Nimrod was the only Pendergrass in the 1800 Wilkes County census,while Spencer Jr was in adjacent Iredell County in that year. By 1815, Nimrod had also moved to Iredell County where he was listed in Capt Alexander’s district and where he reared his ill-fated family.190 Not long after Nimrod left Wilkes County, “Wake” John’s son Benjamin, with his large family, relocated there.
There are many other possible explanations for Nimrod’s presence near Spencer’s sons, including that he was an out of wedlock son of someone’s Pendergrass daughter, but given his age and unusual first name, the likeliest is that they were his first cousins and that “Bob’s” John’s Nimrod was his nephew and namesake. This leaves open the question of Nimrod’s paternity, with only rank speculation for an answer.
Since, like “Buncombe” John, there were only two identified Pendergrass males of the right age in the Sandy Creek group who were likely to have fathered him, the only viable candidates were William or “Wake” John, each about as likely as the other. There is no documentary evidence of a Nimrod Pendergrass in the Sandy Creek or Wake County areas at any time. However, the tax laws changed in 1784 to raise the tax age from 16 to 21, so his birth about 1769 would not have placed him on a tax list before 1790, by which time he (as well as “Buncombe” John) could have struck out on his own.
Since this author tentatively attributes Bob’s John’s paternity to William [see section C, supra], and “Bob’s” John was born by about 1748 or earlier, the likelier scenario, based on very little solid fact at all, would place Nimrod as a likelier son of “Wake” John..
Again, the reader is strongly cautioned that there is no proof at all of this Nimrod’s paternity, only some close familial relationship to the Sandy Creek Pendergrass group, which is why he is in the Unsolved Mysteries Chapter.
F. Luke Pendergrast of Maryland, and Orange and Caswell Counties, North Carolina
Luke Prendergast was born around 1747-1750 without stating his birth location in any known record.191 On 26 January, 1768, he married Rachel Simmons in Baltimore County, Maryland,192 and later relocated with his young family to Orange and Caswell Counties, North Carolina, owning land in both. Unlike most sons of William Sr, he was literate, always signing his name in full as “Luke Prendergast” and somewhat wealthier than other North Carolina Pendergrasses. He considerately executed a professionally prepared written will naming all his children on 11 November, 1819 in Orange County, North Carolina, and died prior to its probate there in April 1831.193 He left a life estate in everything he owned to his “well beloved wife, Rachel”, made specific bequests to two grandchildren, Abi Harrison, daughter of James Harrison and grandson Luke B Prendergast. The remainder was left to be divided among “my five children, Thomas, George, John B(aker) of Tennessee, Elizabeth (Adams) and Rachel (Harrison)”.194
A brief discussion of Luke is placed here because there are unanswered questions surrounding his origins and because his parentage is in question. It is tempting to assume that he was a son of William Sr of Orange County, North Carolina, who had Biblically named sons in the same time frame and because Luke had property in the same counties as William Sr and some of his sons, but because of his marriage and the birth of at least one of his children listed in Maryland, researchers had previously concluded that Luke had an origin story different from the Orange County group. Many have postulated that he was a son of Garrett Sr, a trader, scout and tavern owner in Bedford, Pennsylvania. A historical novel [see section G, below] based loosely around Garrett’s real trading post, listed some of his sons as Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, and although these were pseudonyms, the fact that Luke was one of the fictional names has added to the assumption. For this reason, many online trees erroneously list Luke as a definite son of Garrett Pendergrass, Sr and his wife Ann, whom they call “Rose”, her fictional name in the novel.
However, a 2018 YDNA test of a gentleman descended from Garrett Jr (according to documentary evidence) was not a match to a descendant of Luke who tested at the same time, and the Luke descendant in fact was a match to descendants of William Sr of Orange County, North Carolina, to a Phillip descendant and to men in County Mayo, Ireland.. There was one distinctive marker he did not share with the known descendants of Job Pendergrass/Pendergraft of the Orange County group, indicating that his relationship to them may have been further back in time. For this reason, his precise relationship to the Orange County group remains a mystery, Further information about Luke and his descendants has been placed in Chapters 12 and 17.
G. Garrett Pendergass “The Rogue” of Virginia and Bedford, Pennsylvania.
There was a real Garrrett Pendergrass Sr and his wife Ann in what later became Bedford, Pennsylvania, owners of an early trading post and tavern who had proven sons Garrett Jr and Jesse and a daughter Gertrude who was killed and scalped by hostile Indians.195 However, Garrett, Sr. was on generally friendly terms with the local tribes and there is a historically interesting deed to him from Native Americans replacing a tract of land he had lost because of the French and Indian War.196 The younger Garrett’s death is officially documented as having occurred just outside Fort Harrod, the oldest permanent settlement in Kentucky, as part of his revolutionary service, recorded in real records found at the D.A R. library in Washington, D.C.197 In the legend, Garrett Jr and another man were said to have been running toward the safety of the Fort when overtaken by Indians, the other man survived, but Garrett Jr was killed and scalped in full view of the people inside the Fort, including, presumably, his family. A play recreating events about the founding of Harrodsburg, staged from time to time at the reconstructed Fort, features his death as part of the action, but without giving his name.198 Some accounts indicate a less dramatic death scene not in view of the fort, but others confirm the legend.[Note: the term “Indian” is used in the original documents]
Because of a rather depressing historical novel called “Bedford Village”199, there is a great deal of confusion between fiction and reality with this family. Although the novel was loosely based on events remembered by locals, the author admitted that much of what he wrote was not supported by documents. It does seem to be undisputed that Garrett had a large family and did have several sons, who were given Biblical names Matthew, Mark, Luke, John and others in the novel, but only three of his real children have been identified - Jesse, Garrett Jr, and Gertrude. In the novel, Garrett’s wife is called Rose and said to have been an immigrant from Ireland or England, but her name was actually Anne.200 Garrett is portrayed as a garrulous, hard-drinking man, probably Irish - at least some of this characterization supported by fact. [Note: In some places, Anne has been assigned the maiden name Baker or Barker based on the assumption that Luke was a son of Garrett and the name of Luke’s real son, John Baker Prendergast]
The best estimate of Garrett’s birth is somewhere around 1712, and some online trees say it was in Blair, Pennsylvania, but this is unverified and no sources have been located. Garrett seems to have been very independent and given his isolation, it seems likely that he was the original immigrant of his line.
If Phillip, born 1734 was one of his sons, then Garrett had married Anne by about 1733, if not, perhaps a few years later. No marriage record has been found. He was mentioned as “of Allegheny County” on 4 August 1738, but was in Westmoreland County as part of a deputation to capture Thomas Cressup in 1733201 and was building his remote trading post, tavern and inn in the location which later became Raystown and then Bedford, Pennsylvania, but was forced to abandon the business furing the French and Inidan War. He was sued in assumpsit [breach of contract or for debt] by Abraham Strickland in Orange County, Virginia (where James and “Carpenter” John were also mentioned) but failed to appear on 25 June, 1742 and again on 16 February 1742/3.202 In 1743, the suit was dropped because the sheriff could not serve Garrett, “removed to Frederick County,”203 and in 1744, he appeared on a tax list there.
It should be remembered that although they are in different states, Bedford and its successor counties were not actually far distant from Stafford and Frederick counties,Virginia, the latter being near the Pennsylvania border.
In 1750, Garrett obtained more land from the Indians in Pennsylvania and at about the same time sold “Pendergrass’ Bottom” in Stafford County, Virginia to Lawrence Washington, half-brother to George.204 This land was also mentioned in Lawrence’s 1752 will205 at about the same time that Garrett, as stated in his 1766 petition to the Governor of Pennsylvania, settled in 1752 on what became Bedford but “had to leave due to Indian incursions which laid waste to his round log house and cleared land.”206Also around 1752 in Stafford County, Abner Anderson bitterly complained that Garrett had been offered Anderson’s hospitality because after the sale of his land, Garrett and his wife and children had no roof over their heads, whereupon Garrett took forcible possession of Anderson’s house, threatened to split his brains open with an ax and nearly did so had not someone caught the ax in mid-swing. Anderson went on to say that Garrett had done something similar to another neighbor and that “I doe be Leave there could nott be less than fourty people & all whith one accord said they Believed that there was nott such an Roge to be found in ye Countery” [for full text of this colorful complaint, see 4J]
From this account, it seems that Garrett still had children at home in 1752.
On 17 January 1754, Garrett paid taxes in Frederick County Virginia,207 but he was under consideration as possibly being of use in the French and Indian War in Pennsylvania. In December, Governor Sharp of Maryland wrote to Governor Morris of Pennsylvania to inquire about Garrett, Indian Trader, on the Juniata, as a person well acquainted with the back country. Governor Morris replied that Garrett “is known to Mr Peters, who says he kept a Publick house at Raystown, is a little addicted to drink, but knows the woods extremely well and might Serve, for want of a better. in the capacity of a guide”.208 In 1757, Garrett and Ann’s daughter Gertrude was killed and scalped by rogue Indians within sight of Ft Lyttleton,209the same way their son Garrett, Jr was to die at Fort Harrod, Kentucky twenty years later.
On 10 October 1766, Garrett’s wife Ann Unknown (Pendergrass) signed a petition to the governor of Pennsylvania asking recompense for Indians having burned their improvements and for the King’s generals having built a fort on their land,210 and in the following year, Garrett was involved in a land transaction by which he evidently sold land at Friends’ Cove in Frederick County to John Cunningham and Cunningham sold Garrett a tract near Winchester, Virginia, while Garrett was listed as “of Cumberland County”.[Pennsylvania].211 Then, in February, 1770, because Garret was not able to occupy the land they had given him before, friendly Indians deeded to him a third piece of land, on which he rebuilt.212 In 1770, he was living near Bedford Village, Pennsylvania, and in 1772, he and Ann deeded 300 acres to Garrett Jr. where Bedford Village stood.213 In 1773, Garrett was taxed in Hempfield, Bedford County, in Fairfield District, and ten years later in North Huntington,Westmoreland County, (Pennsylvania). In 1784, Garrett sold land in Westmoreland County to Andrew Steele,214 but appeared on tax lists there in 1786, 1787 and 1800, after which it is assumed that he died.
Some Garret Pendergast and an Alexander Pendergrass were on the roster of the revolutionary battle of King’s Mountain, 7 October 1780 in Cherokee County, South Carolina. Garrett Sr would have been quite elderly and Garrett, Jr had been killed in 1777, so this Garret remains unidentified by this authot.
So, since Garrett Sr was such a visible figure with so much known about him, even about his character and personal habits, why does he have a section in the Unsolved Mysteries Chapter of this book?
Among the unanswered questions are these:
Was Garrett the original immigrant in his line? If not, who were his parents?
Was Phillip Pendergrass, long believed to have been a son of Garrett and Ann, really their son? From his proximity to their location and the date of his birth, it would seem likely that he was - to the point that it has often been assumed. However, a direct male descendant of Phillip, identified through a solid documentary trail, did not match a descendant of Garrett, identified by a solid documentary trail. Was Phillip a son, but there was a non-paternity somewhere in his downline or in the Garrett decendant’s? Did one of Phillip’s female descendants have a child out of wedlock born with the Pendergrass name? Was there some other explanation altogether?
Although it seems from the few court records there that Garrett only hit a glancing blow to Orange County, Virginia, and was there barely long enough to be sued in 1642, taking off for Frederick County before he could be served, it must be asked if there might have been any connection to “Carpenter” John, who was litigating there constantly before and after Garrett’s brief appearance. John, having been sued in 1728 and James the shoemaker, having been put under witness bond in the same year, both had to have been born before 1707 and so could not have been Garrett’s sons, but could there have been some other relationship? Could Garrett have been a brother or cousin to them or to the John and James who got land in Stafford county in 1725 but didn’t perfect the claim?
Or, was Garrett perhaps related in some way to the Orange County, North Carolina, Pendergrass group, since the Phillip assumed to have been Garrett’s son and the Maryland Luke who lived in Orange County were genetic matches to that group ? Or. was the match further back in [County Mayo?] Ireland?
Finally, Garret and Ann were reputed to have had quite a large family with several sons, and Abner Anderson specifically mentioned Garrett’s wife and children in 1754. Only Garrett Jr, Jesse (from dealing with Garrett Jr’s estate) and Gertrude are verified in records as offspring of Garrett Sr and Ann, so who were the rest of their children and what happened to them?
H. The Origins and Ancestors of Teddy Pendergrass
A question often asked of Pendergrass researchers is if and how the famous singer and musician Teddy Pendergrass [6-H] fits into one of the Pendergrass family groups, and how he and his African-American ancestors acquired such a Noman/Irish surname. Because it is almost impossible for many African-Americans to discover their true, original African names after having had foreign names imposed upon them for hundreds of years, or to find much specific information prior to the Civil War about their ancestors who were enslaved, research on this family has been placed in the Unsolved Mysteries section. Teddy’s true family identity will probably never be known, and the closest many such families can come to finding their real origins is through DNA testing in the hope that it will lead back to cousins in the area or village from which their ancestors were forcibly taken.
What it has been possible to establish through paper research is that there was a family of Pendergrass slaveholders in the 1830, 1840, 1850 and 1860 Williamsburg/Sumter/Clarendon County census records in the precise area of South Carolina where Teddy’s people later worked as sharecroppers growing tobacco and cotton, that there were no free black Pendergrass families on census records in the area prior to 1870, and that among the slaves held captive were several young males of the right age to have been the patriarch of the family, Alex Pendergrass, born about 1854, and others the right age to have been his parents, Smart Pendergrass and Rosa Unknown. Many descendants of this family remain in Clarendon County, South Carolina to this day. [6-G]
In the 1823 estate administration of Samuel Pendergrass, Jr, an appraisal filed 5 March if that year included and valued the fifteen slaves he was holding in bondage,215 among them Jack valued at $250.00, Smart, valued at $500.00 and Straphon, valued at $450.00. No Rosa was listed. In the next generation, Smart had a son Smart, Jr and a son Straphon Jack, indicating close ties with his fellow captives. Old Lydia was first valued at $5.00 and then reduced to $1.00, twenty five cents more than a bushel of corn.216 While it is repugnant to think of people having been priced like livestock and grain, it is still worth noting that of all the estate’s slaves, Smart was considered the most highly valued.217 In the division of the estate, Smart, Jack, and Straffon/Straphon, among others, were transferred as part of her two thirds share of the slaves, to Samuel Pendergrass’ only daughter Mary Eliza Pendergrass, daughter of Ann Eliza Conyers (Pendergrass) (Bagnal), who received the other third as Samuel Jr’s widow.218 [6-F]
It was not uncommon for newly freed slaves to take the name of their former slaveholders, who also were likely to be their new employers, and it is assumed absent evidence to the contrary that this is what happened with Smart Pendergrass born about 1805, Rosa [Pendergrass?] born about 1810, and their known sons Straffon Jack, Hackey, Smart, Jr, and Alex and daughter Sarah Pendergrass. It should be remembered that in these cases, people who adopted the slaveholder’s surname when liberated may not have been genetically related and may have married one another, which can make it doubly difficult to establish individual families in the early years after emancipation.
Such is the case with Sharper Pendergrass, born nearby in 1795. He could easily have been a biological brother to Smart, but he could also have been someone with whom Smart grew up and who also adopted the Pendergrass name. Some of his descendants followed the same pattern as Teddy’s descendants in intermarrying with the same neighboring families in South Carolina and later moving to Philadelphia. The search for Sharper’s descendants was especially interesting, so his family line is included below Smart’s line with the caution that they may or may not have been biologically related.
Apologies to my young friend Bryce Williams, who asked for assistance in determining his relationship to Teddy, as his family tradition is that Teddy was a cousin to his grandmother, Louise Fulton. Bryce’s family intermarried with families who intermarried with Teddy’s, and Teddy’s family intermarried with Fultons, so although the exact biological relationship has not yet been determined, this author is convinced that there was one. [Note: Bryce’s family has its own quite fascinating history which perhaps he will one day write]
Before his death from complications of cancer in 2010, Smart’s famous descendant Teddy (through Smart’s son Alex) co-authored an autobiography titled “Truly Blessed”, first published in 1998 by Penguin Publishing,219 and the reader is referred there as the best source for details about his personal life, music career, and the automobile accident which left him paralyzed in 1982.
Ancestors of Teddy Pendergrass of Clarendon County, South Carolina
The earliest known male Pendergrass ancestor of this line, Smart Pendergrass,was born in South Carolina, apparently into slavery, and there met Rose [Pendergrass?] the mother of his children. She was also born in South Carolina, but this information, taken from Alex’s testimony in the 1900 Clarendon County census, and his death certificate, is the only documentary evidence of their origins. Since there are significant gaps between the births of their five known or probable children, it is likely there were more who still remain unidentified.
__________Generation 1__________
1. SMART PENDERGRASS was born about 1805 in South Carolina and married Rosa [Pendergrass?], who was born about 1810 in South Carolina.
Smart Pendergrass and Rosa had at least the following children:
1.1. STRAFFON JACK2 PENDERGRAS(Smart1)was born in March 1836 in South Carolina and about 1850, he married (1) Flora Unknown and in 1864 he married (2) Elsie Bennett, who was born in April 1873.
1.2. HACKEY2PENDERGRASS was born in May 1842 in South Carolina and died in August 1918 in Clarendon County. (parents listed on death certificate as Smart and Rosa Pendergrass, Alex Pendergrass, Hackey’s brother, informant.) Hackey married Hester Unknown about 1878. She was born in April 1850 in South Carolina. In the 1900 Mount Zion, South Carolina census, Hackey and Hester were listed as having been married 22 years and having two children still living but no longer at home.
1.3. SMART PENDERGRASS JR was born in 1843 in South Carolina and married Salina Unknown, who was born there about 1845 .
1.4. ALEX2 PENDERGRASS was born about 1852/4 in South Carolina, and in 1878 he married (1) Julia Unknown in Clarendon County. She was born in South Carolina about 1853. In 1898, he married (2) Missouri “Zora” Reid[?] who was born in February 1875 in South Carolina. Although Missouri should have appeared with her parents in the 1880 census, as she stated that she and her parents were all born in South Carolina, she has not been located. Missouri as a first name was very popular at that time and place so there were several girls with that first name in the census but not with the surname Reid and none in Clarendon County, In fact, it is only family tradition and not a certainty that her maiden name was actually Reid.

[Note: The slaveholding Pendergrass family of Clarendon County, South Carolina descended from Darby Pendergrass, a prosperous tailor and merchant of Charles Town, South Carolina whose descendants moved inland to Williamsburg and Clarendon Counties and acquired large plantations and large numbers of slaves. For a history of Darby Pendergrass and his descendants, see Chapter 14.]
I. The Origins and Descendants of Vincent Pendergrass and Mary Scarff
Vincent is placed here in the Unsolved Mysteries chapter.because no information has been found about his birth date or place and no direct male descendant has been located for YDNA testing that might help place this family with any other group. Only one son has been located, that son had two known sons, one of whom appears to have had no children and the other of whom had two sons who apparently had no children. The first mention found of him is his marriage to Mary Scarff in 1803 Frederick County, Virginia and in the 1810 Norfolk Borough census, they were the only two household members listed.
Although Garrett (the Rogue) passed through Frederick County in the 1750s and lived in nearby Pennsylvania, 1788 seems too late for Vincent to have been his son, but perhaps some other relative. There is no known connection at all to the Sandy Creek Pendergrass group or the Vincent born to Moses and Nancy Pendergrass in Wake County, North Carolina about 1806.

Chapter 7
Descendants of
“Wake” John Pendergrass and Hannah Unknown
It is worth taking a moment to lay the scene for the entrance of the “Wake” John family’s first provable ancestors, even though some early relationships may still be muddled.
The country was on the brink of the French and Indian War, and conditions in North Carolina were not as civilized and settled as in Virginia. It was still more than twenty years before the Revolution against King George of England, government taxation was often unfair and those in power were frequently accused of corruption. The class system still flourished and most ordinary citizens were illiterate. It was still a primarily agricultural society, with tobacco as the main cash crop.
There were fewer than 400 Native Americans remaining in the State, and newly freed slaves, by law, had six months (later 90 days) to leave the state or be re-enslaved1. Free blacks and mulattos, who mostly gathered in the western counties, constituted some 3 or 4% of the population2, had to pay taxes, serve in the military and work on roads the same as other citizens, and could own land and marry other free blacks (only), but were not accorded the right to vote, or serve on court or road juries.3 Married women also were not accorded these privileges and absent special legal arrangements, could not own land in their own names4, and spent most of their lives being pregnant.
Men, even those who were not wealthy, wore knee breeches and hose, tri-corner or other hats[7-E], and jackets, or greatcoats [7-R] in the winter. All shoes and clothing were hand made, women wore bonnets and long wide skirts. and were in charge of keeping the primitive households running, cooking in the fireplace or a detached chimney and carrying water from a spring, creek or well.
Virginian William Byrd, who helped survey the state line in 1728/9 described Carolinians in his diary:”The Men, for their Part, just like the Indians, impose all the Work upon the poor women. They make their Wives rise out of their Beds early in the Morning, at the same time they lye and Snore, till the Sun has run one third of his course, and disperst all the unwholesome Damps. Then, after Stretching and Yawning for half an Hour, they light their Pipes, and under the Protection of a cloud of Smoak, venture out into the open Air; tho’, if it happens to be never so little cold, they quickly return Shivering into the Chimney corner. When the weather is mild they stand leaning with both their arms on the cornfield fence, and gravely consider whether they had best go and take a Small Heat at the Hough; but generally find reasons to put it off till another time.”5
Byrd concluded, in his exaggerated fashion, that it was “an Aversion to Labor that makes People file off to N Carolina, where Plenty and a Warm Sun confirm them in their Disposition to Laziness for their whole Lives”6
North Carolinians in the western areas had a better reputation as”good farmers, worthy people and hardy and laborious Races of Men” but in almost every instance the women were deemed the more industrious of the sexes.7 (Ever is it thus.)
In the beginning, with ample wood from untimbered forests available and the need to clear land for planting, many less wealthy settlers built simple, one room log cabins, with lofts, lean-tos or sheds for additional space. Nails and hardware were expensive, and window glass often unavailable, so doors swung on leather hinges and were secured by wooden locks.8 There was, of course, no indoor plumbing.
Such necessities were handled by the construction of a privy and, when available, a chamber pot for avoiding trips in the cold or dark. Wild and domestic animals were a source of food, and often were left to forage in the woods until needed. Most families had barnyard poultry, and grew corn and other vegetables, and many who were settled had orchards for fruit and to make liquor in home stills. Fish were plentiful enough that they could often be speared with sticks.9
There was as yet no freedom of (or from) religion and the Church of England was still all powerful, though other religions were creeping in, and attendance and other rules were more relaxed than they had been in Virginia. Liquor flowed freely at the local ordinaries, but a 1745 law decreed that an innkeeper could be fined for “allowing any person to become drunk in his home on the Sabbath”10 The law also stated that vagrants must find work, go into servitude or receive 39 lashes at the public whipping post.11
Women were, then as now, more severely punished for romantic indiscretions than men, but no longer likely to be sentenced to the whipping post. In more humane North Carolina, a woman who bore an illegitimate child would be brought into court and ordered to name the father, and if she did so, the father would be ordered to post a bastardy bond that the child would never become a ward of the county. If she refused to name the father, the woman herself would be required to post the bond. In those days before paternity testing, no record has come to light in which a putative father came into court and denied responsibility. Customarily, the “baseborn” child would then be bound out to another family at an early age as a servant or apprentice to learn a trade.
In 1755, the Granville court, located near Bolling Springs at the time, in a highly unusual action, ordered a jury of matrons, Mary Day, [torn], Eliz, Johnson, Ann Parker, Judith Howlett, Constant King, Martha Williams, Rebecca Laurence, Massey Christian, Christian Cragg, Rachel Renfro, Mary Moore and Sarah Moore, “strictly requiring them to search the body of Jane Roberts to determine whether to the best of their judgment she had borne a child or not.” The women reported back to the court that Jane had indeed borne a child but that it had died of natural causes.12
Before Granville County, formed from its predecessor Edgecombe County, was broken up into smaller counties, it covered the area that is now Person, Caswell,and several other counties before itself having been split vertically into Granville (west) and Bute (east) in 1764. Each time the county was split, this Spencer/William/John Pendergrass family was living right on the county line, first on land that was in old Granville, and then became Bute, and then when Bute was split into Warren and Franklin, some were living on each side of that county line, which was just below Sandy Creek.7B
A century and some years later, when Vance County was formed in 1881 and plopped on top of Franklin and Warren, it split the little Pendergrass settlement of Coley’s Corners, (now Vicksboro), vertically, right up the middle through its only caution light. The area to the Southeast of Vicksboro, along the northwest side of Sandy Creek, is where these Pendergrasses first settled in 1755, and their descendants, especially those through Jesse, still populate the tiny crossroads of Vicksboro and the area around it.7C
On the main wagon road [7-A] over which most of these families travelled by land from Virginia to old Granville and Orange counties North Carolina, still stands historic Person’s Ordinary, an inn, tavern, and later a stagecoach stop in what is now Halifax County. [5-A] Built in 1739, it was named for prominent citizen John Person for “ordinary” people who did not have letters of introduction entitling them to stay with the local gentry. Laws were in place early to regulate the maximum charges for lodging, various liquors, foodstuffs, as well as fodder and shelter for horses. The building has been restored and made into a museum, most always locked and guarded by a security system. Nonetheless, faces have been seen in the windows and lights have flickered from inside at night, causing the locals to insist that it is haunted.13
It was into these unsettled but less constricted circumstances in old Granville County that at least three adult Pendergrass men and their families arrived sometime in 1755; some John (or perhaps two), a Spencer, and a William. Spencer [Sr] and at least one John settled in the Sandy Creek district and William in an adjacent district on Fishing Creek. John Pownall, whose daughter Margaret later married into the family, was in the county by 1752 and was settled on Flat Rock Creek a little South of Sandy Creek by 1761. Prosperous Roger Thornton, whose apparent daughter Sarah married less prosperous Spencer [Sr], was settled in the area early and got even more land on both sides of Sandy Creek in 1755, with Spencer assisting in the survey as a sworn chain carrier.[5-D] The Garrett family settled nearby early and its records provide helpful evidence in locating the Pendergrasses, as did the prominent Aaron and Thomas Fussell, who serve as geographical markers by nearly always appearing on the same short tax lists as “Wake” John.
The family was in the area of the North Carolina 1759 land riots, which were set off by a dispute over corruption by agents of the Crown, particularly Robert, Earl Granville, who controlled land grants and titles and collected quit rents, sometimes to his personal advantage.14 A group of Colonists from Halifax, Edgecombe and Granville Counties kidnapped two agents, jailed them for several days, and forced them to allow the land records to be inspected by the public.15 The Colonial Assembly jailed some of the men who had kidnapped the agents, and a group of outraged citizens broke into the jail and freed them. These riots were one of the incidents thought to have inspired the revolt against the English government in 1776.16 No mention of their participation has been found, but wherever their sympathies lay, the Pendergrass family could not have been unaware of this important local event.
“Wake” John was assigned this nickname by researchers to distinguish him from the other Johns of the day because most of his nuclear family moved with him into Wake County from Warren in 1789 and because he died there in the Spring or Summer of 1794, but in reality he was only there for the last five years of his life, having originally settled in old Granville in the Sandy Creek area which first became Bute, then Warren.
Despite what may appear elsewhere in print and online, no one knows for certain where or when “Wake” John and Spencer [Sr] were born or who their parents were or the maiden name of John’s wife, Hannah, or even exactly how he was related to Spencer and William. Speculation (only) about his and this family’s possible origins can be found in Chapter 6 (A) and (B).
What is known for certain from his absence and the absence of anyone with any variant of the Pendergrass surname on the surprisingly complete militia muster roll of old Granville County in December 1754 [5-C] is that this family unit was not present anywhere in North Carolina by then. From the beginning of old Granville county in 1746 and its predecessor counties and districts, no Pendergrass surname appears in any extant record. An early family of Penders on tax lists in Edgecombe County, one member of which even had the first name Solomon, was in place and intact both before and after the arrival of the Pendergrass group into old Granville, and was therefore not the same family.
By December of 1755, though, John’s apparent brother Spencer was carrying a survey chain17 for Roger and Henry Thornton[5-D] in the Sandy Creek area where this Pendergrass family lived for several decades afterward, as the county names changed around it.[7-D] In 1757, some John Pendergrass appeared as a free white head of household on the old Granville September poll tax list of John Martin’s district18 taxed for himself only, as one of the last three names at the bottom of the list.[7-C] The exact date the names were added was not given. Also with John’s name were the names of William Oliver, father of the Benjamin whose daughter Betsy later married “Buncombe” John Pendergrass, and John Serug/Searidge Askew, one of the very few British Isles men ever listed with a middle name in that era, and whose descendants frequently intermarried with the [Jesse] Pendergrass descendants. In the following year, John was joined on the countywide 1758 tax list by a William and a Spencer, listed as among “114 names omitted from the list and known to have been living in the county for the previous year” 7E and each of the three had no taxable male over the age of 16 in his household other than himself.19 All three men appeared in other old Granville County tax lists for the year 1757.
The tax lists are the best source of information in North Carolina because they are more likely to have been preserved than other records, but they can also be confusing. Originally, the districts were named for the constable or undersheriff who was responsible for collecting the tax, sometimes more than once each year, and then those smaller lists were consolidated into a county-wide list by the Sheriff. Additionally, there were lists of delinquents who hadn’t paid and lists of insolvents and removals which named
those who had been adjudged unable to pay and those who had moved to another district. Since the names of the districts changed with the constable or captain, since lists might be missing for some districts and available for others, and since for some years they are missing altogether, it can sometimes be very hard to distinguish and locate particular individuals, especially those with identical names.
The British Isles custom of naming children after living close relatives added greatly to the confusion, and even tax collectors who knew them sometimes identified individuals with the same name by listing the watercourse on which they lived, as in “Hezekiah Massey, River”, and “Hezekiah Massey, Sycamore”. The notations “Senior” and “Junior” literally meant older and younger and did not necessarily mean father and son. Context is important in such cases.
It should be noted that unlike census records, for which clerks went door to door roughly in order while asking questions and recording answers, taxables lists were required to be turned in by the householders themselves to the sheriff or undersheriff, and so cannot be used reliably to show which neighbors lived adjacent, but only to show which neighbors lived in the same county or smaller tax district.
Even though there was only one extended Pendergrass family in old Granville/Bute/Warren/Franklin County, the various John Pendergrasses are remarkably hard to identify [see Chapter 6-C]
In 1758, William and a John were on Philamon Hawkins’ list of taxables but William was also on Hawkins’ delinquents list. In 1759, it was Spencer who was delinquent on Charles Johnson’s list.
In 1760, Spencer and some John were listed together on an un-alphabetized county-wide list along with John Pownall and neighbors Thomas Crabb and Robert Day,20 and on February 9th of that year, one of the Johns and Daniel Ball were chain carriers for a survey of land on Lick Branch of Sandy Creek for close neighbor, Thomas Crabb.21 In the next year, John Pownall, whose daughter Margaret married “Bob’s” John, obtained a new tract of land on Flat Rock Creek just to the Southwest of Sandy Creek.22
On the 1761 Sandy Creek district tax list (the area for the first time named for the creek rather than the constable or captain), in Thomas Fussell’s district, among many others appeared John Pendergrass, 1 white poll, Thomas Crabb and son Daniel, 2 white polls, Spencer Pendergrass, 1 white poll, Robert Day and William Bell[Ball?], 2 white polls, John Parnell [Pownall],1 white poll, his name crossed out.23
Then, in the same year, a delinquents list was prepared for the sheriff of “haus Capers warn’d to turn in their lists” for the small Sandy Creek district.24 The list contained the names of about forty men and two widows who had not yet submitted lists of the taxables in their households and duly paid their taxes, and among them were three Pendergrass [Pendergrays] heads of household and their closest geographical neighbors. For the first time, there was reference to two John Pendergrasses on the same short list, with one of them designated by a tiny, nearly indecipherable squiggle of ink as “Sr” [5-F]

It is of note that William Pendergrass is absent from this list and from the overall taxables list for Sandy Creek District in 1761. Later records show his household on Fishing Creek and in Franklin County. Spencer and one John Pendergrays were crossed off as paid, but also of note is that of the only two men designated as “Sr” on the list, one of them John Pendergrays,Sr, neither had paid taxes and been crossed off, raising the question of whether they had aged out of having to pay or just hadn’t done so yet. Another aspect of interest is the phonetic spelling of the name, a clue as to how it was probably pronounced at that time and place.
The 1761 “Haus Capers” list is of extreme importance in sorting out the origins and relationships of the Sandy Creek Pendergrass men and was a breathtaking find, introducing, as it does, a John Senior listed one or two names apart from a plain John and Spencer. The other list entries are important, together with deeds and other records, in locating the families geographically [Weaver, Dickson/Dickerson, Aaron Fussell, Crabb, Day, Strother] and in identifying those whose descendants later intermarried [John Serug Aysque/Askew, Henry Nickels/Nuckles, Roger Thornton]. In every year in which the John Pendergrass who became “Wake” John was on a Bute or Warren tax list, an Aaron Fussell, Sr (and later Aaron Jr,) was on it with him, to the point that Aaron Sr’s will was closely examined to see if “Wake” John’s wife Hannah might have been his daughter, but Aaron Sr’s will listed all his daughters and their married names, with no Hannah or Pendergrass wife among them.25
Many of these same “Haus Capers” had been on the 1754 Granville militia list, in Sugan “Sugar” Jones’ unit5B, but without any Pendergrasses in their number. It has been suggested that the Pendergrass men were Quakers excused from militia duty, but “Wake” John began his 1794 Wake County will26 with “In the Name of God, Amen”, which a Quaker would not likely have done, and in any event there were no tax listings or other mentions of them before 1755.
Commencing in 1762, another John Pendergrass began appearing on tax lists for a few years in the “Nutbush/Country Line” district of Granville/Bute on the same lists as John Powell (not Pownall),Seth Pettipool and other Pettipools, and William Goins, used as geographical markers. James Yancey was the constable27 and part of the prominent Yancey family after which Yanceyville in that district was named. ”Country Line” district was so called because its northern edge touched the Virginia state line and was some fifty miles northwest of the Sandy Creek area where Spencer and John Sr and plain John were living in 1761, too far east to be in Orange, Person, or Caswell County, but too far west to be in the same tax district as Sandy Creek. There were no Pendergrasses in Country Line district in 1761.
In 1762, on a county-wide Granville insolvents list27arranged by first letter of last name, John Serug Asque was listed as “has nothing”, Thomas Crabb had one poll, and there was a John Pendergrass with one poll and no way to know which John was insolvent. In fact, it is surprising that there was only one.
Also in 1762 on Philamon Hawkins’ smaller Sandy Creek list28 were Spencer and John Pendergrass, Jno DeBord, and Thomas Crabb, a good distance to the southeast of the John listed near the Pettipools in Countryline/Nutbush District, and on April 13th, in Sandy Creek, John Pendergrass, Roger Thornton & Aaron Fussell witnessed a deed from Dennis Linsey to Robt. Phillips on Buffalo Creek.29
In 1763, some John Pendergrass and John James were chain carriers for Thomas Person’s survey of 700 acres for a Robert Harrison.30 The legal description mentions Jonathan’s Creek, and lines of Charles Harris, William Goin, and William Royster so this was the John who lived near the Pettipools in Countryline District at the time and not one of the Johns being taxed in Sandy Creek.
Also in 1763, Jeremiah Goins, a base born child of Judith Goins, was bound out to William Bowden somewhere in Granville County.31The Goins family is also noted here because in 1754 Granville, John Parnell [Pownall], whose daughter later married one of the Sandy Creek John Pendergrasses, had been taxed for “the mulatto of Nan Goin” who was in his household as a young free person of color, a servant or apprentice who most likely was bound to John Pownall until reaching majority.32
For 1764 Granville County, there are two surviving lists for Yancey’s Country Line district, one a random list of all taxables and one arranged by first letter of last name.33 Both included Pettipools and one John Pendergrass, and the latter indicated that he was a married man with only one white poll: himself. The 1765 list was the same, with the addition of William Goins. An additional William Goins, specified as mulatto, was in Burford’s district in the same year with two polls.34 In 1765, the John Pendergrass with one white poll was adjacent on the list to a William Goins who was not specified as other than one white poll, so evidently there were two William Goins in the area, each of different, or at least partially different, genetic backgrounds.35 [Note: “Chatham” John of the Orange County group would have been 15 in 1764, “Buncombe” John not yet born, “Bob’s” John perhaps 18 or a bit older or younger,]
Also in 1764, old Granville County was divided vertically into Granville (West) and the short lived Bute (East), with Countryline district remaining in Granville and the Sandy Creek district in Bute.
On Yancey’s Countryline District lists for 1766, of which two survive, John Pendergrass and several Pettipools were listed as taxables and again in August on Constable Thomas Brooks’ list of “masters of families listed with James Yancey and summoned by Brooks to the “Onnorabel Court”. William Goins was not summoned, but “Countryline” John Pendergrass was.
1767 saw a change of list takers to Phillip Prior, but the list was still of the same area and still included Pettipools and a John Pendergrass with one white poll. No Goins were listed that year.
In 1769 Granville, there were still two lists with several Pettipools and a John Pendergrass with one white poll in his household. The 1770 lists are missing, and in 1771 the list was the same as 1769 except that it was specified that John Pendergrass had no slaves or carriage wheels for which to be taxed.
In 1771, this John, living in an area that was still Granville County, signed or marked a petition to the Governor from the inhabitants of Granville county protesting the cost of two church buildings36 but no familiar names petitioned with him except William Goins. He was not mentioned in Granville records thereafter, at least not in Countryline. This John of Yancey’s Countryline district lived a significant distance from the Sandy Creek group, and it is not known if or how he was connected to them or to the Orange County group . [see Chapter 6-C]
In the meantime, too, when Bute County was formed from the eastern half of Granville in 1764, the Sandy Creek Pendergrasses’ location fell just inside the Bute County line, and when Bute split and became extinct in 1779, records from Bute were stored with the records of the new Warren County. Thus, the same tract of land, like Spencer’s on Linch’s Creek, might have been bought in old Granville, taxed in Bute, sold in Warren or Franklin, with records in three counties, and might now even be located in Vance.
From about 1760 in Granville/Bute/Warren, Wake John and Hannah’s known children were being born: Solomon about 1760, Benjamin about 1762, Jesse about 1764, Moses about 1778 and Anney who was still at home unmarried in 1794, leaving room for possible unidentified children older than Solomon or born in the gap between Jesse and Moses. Spencer was having solidly identified children at about the same time and in 1763 bought a hundred acres on Linches Creek at Mill Creek, called variously Thornton’s Mill Creek and Gill’s Mill Creek, a little southwest of Sandy Creek.7B
In the first extant Bute County Sandy Creek district tax list37taken by Nathaniel Henderson in 1766, William and Spencer were each listed as heads of household, one poll each, but neighbor Robert Day was taxed for two polls - himself and a John Pendergrass, the only John Pendergrass appearing in Sandy Creek that year. Possible explanations for this were that John was related by blood or marriage to Robert Day, that the two were in a partnership, or more likely, that John was a sharecropper, renter, or hired hand.
In 1769, William Pendergrass was on the Bute County insolvents’ list, taken by Osborne Jeffries but not gotten to the court until 1771,38 which contained familiar names of men deemed too poor to be taxed or those who had left the district, with curious notations about some, for example: W J Serug Asque, Thos Crabb, Shurley Whatly Jr (run), Benj Nicols, John Powell (run), Gilbert Prince (dead?) William Pendergrass, Wm Riggin (dead?), Josh Perry (run)...
In 1770, a John Pendergrass (1 poll) was on the delinquents’ (not insolvents’) list39for Bute along with many familiar neighbors and future relatives by marriage: Thos Crabb, Martin Dickerson, Royal Meddlin, John Nichols, Simon Perry, Joshua Perry, Isham Perry, Gilbert Prince (by then officially deceased), John Serug Askew (2 polls), Jesse Stallings, Robert Cheek, and others.
By 1771, in addition to the John near the Pettipools in Countryline district, there were again four Pendergrass heads of household listed in Sandy Creek district of Bute County: William and Spencer, 1 poll each, on Hawkins’ list, one John with one poll on Thomas Bell’s list. Another John was on Nathaniel Henderson’s list near John Pownall and his son Henry Pownall, and near Aaron Fussell with sons Moses and Aaron Fussell, Jr., Daniel Ball and his son Daniel, as well as Martin Dickerson and other close neighbors of the John who stayed put and later became “Wake” John.40 No ages were reflected for anyone except that white males were taxable at age 16 at that time.
Also in September of 1771, Nathaniel, the eldest known son of “Bob’s” John and Margaret Pownall was born somewhere in the area. It may seem obvious that the John living near John Pownall was the one who married his daughter, and was a son of “Wake” John, and that may possibly have been the case, but see Chapter 6-C for further discussion of this perplexing issue.
Between 1771 and 1779, when Bute was split horizontally into Warren (north) and Franklin (south), tax lists are missing, which isn’t surprising with the Revolution going on, but a few other records still exist which help locate the Pendergrass households. In February 1772, Robert Cheek and his wife Ann deeded 142 acres in Bute to Nathaniel Peebles on the south side of Sandy Creek41 from the “Grate branch” of Robert Day, who had earlier paid taxes for one of the John Pendergrasses as part of his household. Witnesses were John Pownall, who had not yet left for South Carolina, and Esrom Cogwell, whose downline relatives married Jesse Pendergrass descendants and who in 1780 had carried a survey chain with Rawley Pendergrass (possible son of “Wake” John) on Sandy Creek. [7-S]
Also in 1772, Spencer was forced by Bute County court order to sell an acre of his land on Linch’s Creek to Harbert [Herbert] Hight for a mill,42 and in 1774, Aaron Fussell Sr and his wife Elizabeth, deeded land to their son Aaron, Jr on the north side of Sandy Creek including the family’s spring.43In 1776, Aaron Fussell Sr also made a will, not probated until 1783,44 naming wife Elizabeth, sons Aaron, Jr, Thomas, Moses, William, and daughters Lucy Floyd, Elizabeth Cate, Ann Wooten, and Jean Strother. The will left land on the north side of Sandy Creek adjoining Benjamin Ward, James Arnold, John Estes [Eastridge], and Aaron Fussell [Jr]’s spring.
There is then in 1778 a fascinating series of contentious land entries which assist in geographical location but raise another major question. First, in March, Esrom Cogwell entered a claim to 640 acres beginning at Beckham’s branch to the fork near Pendergrass’s field, to Bagley’s line, to Peebles line 45. On 28 September of 1779, the court ordered Peebles not to interfere with Fussell’s land.46
Then, on 7 May, Thos Garriott [Garrett] entered a disputed land claim for 500 acres “on the east side of Roger Thornton’s Mill Creek, beginning on Brittain Duke’s line, including two improvements...the above land is where Mrs. Garriott and Mrs Pendergrass now live.” 47 On the same day, Thomas Garriott filed a legal caveat against John Hawkins, Jr as the latter tried to enter a claim for “640 acres on Sandy Creek known by the name of Buckom’s Branch and Thornton’s Mill Creek adjoining the lines of Edward Jones (formerly Lindsay’s and Duke’s and Robuck’s) to include improvements of Mary Weaver, widow Garrott, and widow Pendergrass where they now live” Thomas Garriott [son of Matthew, dec’d, as reported in other records] prevailed and his warrant was issued 3 April 1780, agreeable to Order of the Court.48].
The intriguing question raised by these land entires is this: “Wake” John, “Bob’s” John, and Spencer, and possibly William, were all still living in 1778, so just whose widow was the Widow Pendergrass? [See discussion in Chapter 6B]
In 1779, just as Bute was divided, surviving tax lists resumed, and as “Bob’s” John had gone to South Carolina with his young family and his father-in-law John Pownall, the only remaining John was “Wake” John, who stayed at the same location in the same Sandy Creek neighborhood until 1786. John was on a taxable property list in 1779 which was in Capt. Thomas Fussell’s district, list taken by Benjamin Ward, and John was taxed 84 pounds, 8 shillings for whatever unspecified property he owned.49 In this year, men were taxed according to marital status, and those not married were specified as single. Some familiar names of married persons on this list were Aaron Fussell, Sr and Jr, James Bagley, Isram Cogwell, John Pendergrass, Britain Duke, Leonard Jones, “Milly” Peebles [widow Amelia], Wm Bagley, Jesse Jenkins, Burrell Duke, Samuel Duke, James and Joseph Merrit, Wm Sauls, Thomas Garrett, Wm Faulkner, Daniel Ball, James Ball, Thomas Thorn[ton], Wm Garrott, Matthew Garrott [Jr?], Wm Duty, and several Dickersons.
In 1781 and the next few years, the remaining John Pendergrass, by then firmly identifiable as he who would become “Wake” John, was taxed for widely different amounts, but always as one free white poll, always on Capt Thomas Fussell’s list, and always in the same area as Aaron Fussell, a stable geographical marker. In 1781, John was taxed 150 pounds, in 1782 for 25 pounds, 10 shillings, in 1783 for 13 pounds, and in 1784 was again listed near widow Amelia Peebles and Esrom Cogwell.
As the court got around to reassigning land and poll taxes into the new county borders, Israim Cogwell was taxed for land in both Granville and Warren counties, again showing how close the Pendergrasses lived to the county lines, Moses Faulkner’s land was in Granville. John Pendergrass, with no land, Aaron Fussell [Jr, since Sr had died the year before], William, Thomas and Matthew Garrett, Britain Duke and Daniel Ball were all in Warren County.
In 1784, John and Hannah’s son Jesse married Rachel Vigors50 in Warren County [7-F], and in 1785 John and Jesse were each taxed as one white poll in their usual Warren County Sandy Creek district, but in 1786 they were suddenly gone from Sandy Creek, though their regular neighbors remained in place. Until 1789, they were not found in any public record. It is of note that Mary Pendergrass was listed as head of household in July 1786, living in Fishing Creek District with one other unidentified white female, ages not given. [Note: The report by another author that Mary held two slaves is incorrect and is based on a misreading of the total household number, 2, listed in the column next to the column for listing slaves.]
The next record of “Wake” John Pendergrass is a court acknowledgment51 of a deed in from John Ledbetter for one hundred acres of land bought adjacent to and on the same day that John’s good friend Hezekiah Massey also bought land from John Ledbetter, in the extreme northeastern corner of Wake County just across Moccasin Creek from Franklin County, within sight of present day Bunn Lake and on the drains of Beaverdam Creek.7H
For the first time, this was a physical move to a new location, not merely a change in the county lines and “Wake” John remained on this land until his death in 1794.[7-N]
On the first day of the September court of Franklin County in 1789, Mary, specified as widow of William, and John, as representative of Rebeckah Pendergrass, dec’d, attended court and qualified as administrators of the two respective estates.52 Because of his absence from the records and Mary’s listing as head of household on a July 1786 tax list, it appears that William had been deceased since long before then but there was no explanation given as to why the estate was not administered within the required 90 days. Since the events and two estates were intertwined, one reasonable explanation is that Rebeckah’s death was the catalyst for both estates having been brought into court at the same time.
First on the page was the court order that John Pendergrass was to administer the estate of Rebeckah Pendergrass, dec’d, and the note that he and his security, constable George Wooten had agreed to pay a 100 pound bond if John did not do a proper administration. It was noted that he had filed an inventory on that date under oath and that it was to be recorded. A nearly identical entry was written on the same page for Mary, widow of William Pendergrass, dec’d, for her proper administration of the estate of her late husband, likewise having agreed to a 100 pound bond with her security, William Dickerson.
The Franklin County probate clerk who recorded the inventories in the Franklin County Courthouse in Louisburg53 (not held at the state archives with the court minutes) does not seem to have been on top of his job on September 22nd, 1789, as there are several errors in them.7J He headed one entry as “Articles of Mary Pendergrass” instead of those of “William Pendergrass, deceased”, and listed “Two mares, one sorrel and one Tone [roan? tan?] one bridle and saddle, & one cow and calf, seven Barrells of corn, one feather bed and furniture, and one pot and some pewtery and one ax and one Great Coat”. He did take time to copy Mary’s mark, a shaky, scraggly “M”. [7-M]
At the time, a feather bed was a step up from the mattresses of poorer folk, who stuffed their mattresses with straw or cornshucks, and “furniture” meant pillows, sheets, bed rugs and linens, not a frame or headboard. Also, pewter tableware was a step up from the wooden trenchers often used to serve food communally, but the colonials were not yet fully aware that some pewter contained dangerous alloys of lead. William and Mary’s inventory, then, with livestock and household goods, paints the picture of a family which was not wealthy by any means, but was also not as desperately poor as some. [7-M]
On the same page, the clerk left doubt as to how many of which items were in Rebeckah’s estate but did at least get the heading correct as “Articles of Rebeckah Pendergrass, dec’d”: One cow, one bed one bed one pot and pan one ax one bayson and forty shillings, one bed and chest that was left in the hands of William Pendergrass his lifetime and heirs, dec’d.” He then reproduced a signature in full for John Pendergrass with no mention of a mark, though unless someone signed his name for him, there must have been one on the original, because all known Sandy Creek Pendergrasses at that time were illiterate. (except “Buncombe John”, which raises the question whether it might possibly have been he.)
Sadly, there was no further clue as to how these people were related or who William’s heirs might have been. There was no mention of Spencer, and despite diligent searches there has come to light no record of an estate sale or other accounting of either inventory. Rebeckah was not married at the time of her death, evidently widowed, or her estate would have been held in her husband’s name and gone directly to him with no need for an administration. Further discussion of these matters can be found in Chapter 6-B.
The 1790 census listed John Pendergrass in Wake County with three white males over the age of 16, [John, Solomon, Benjamin], 1 white male under 16 [Moses] and 2 white females of unspecified age [Hannah, Anney] Oddly, the census taker arranged the list by first letter of first name, and not by order of visiting the houses, but nonetheless, John’s name appeared next below Heze. Massey and among Stricklands, Boltons, Privetts, Bunns, Medlins, and other close neighbors in Wake. Jesse, Rachel [7-F]and their children were in Franklin County in the 1790 census, and Solomon and Benjamin each married soon after the 1790 census because each was taxed in Wake as a head of household by 1792 and each was married with children in the 1800 census; Benjamin to Amy Massey, daughter of John’s close friend Hezekiah, and Solomon to an unidentified wife. Youngest son Moses married Nancy Wheeler in January 1800 in Wake.7K
On the first Tuesday of September, 1790, “Wake” John, by virtue of owning land, had become a freeholder entitled to privileges and duties and was appointed to serve on a road jury:
“Sundry inhabitants of Wake having petitioned for a road leading from Franklin County line, ordered that said road be altered and that the following jury alter the same to wit: James Butler, Benja Bunn, James Bunn, Josiah Strickland, Frederick Massey, Nathan Strickland, Burwell Carpenter, Hezekiah Massey, Daniel Bagwell, Nathan Upchurch, Elisha Strickland, William Massey, Israel Previtt, Sampson Strickland, John Pendergrass and Bennit Biddie [?] or any of them.” 54
John, Solomon and Benjamin were each taxed for 100 acres of Wake County land in Capt, Horton’s district in 1792 and 1793. Jesse was taxed in Granville and Franklin County, but never for land..
On April 17th, 1794, Benjamin Wheeler, clearly not a great fan of punctuation or capitalization, drew up, and “Wake” John marked with an X, his deathbed last will and testament7L, as follows: [7-O]
“In the name of God Amen I John Pendergrass of the county of Wake and State of North Carolina being very sick but of perfect mind and memory thanks be given unto God calling unto mind the mortallaty of my body and knowing that it is appointed for all men once to dye do make and ordain this my last will and testament which is to say princeablely and first of all I give and recommend my Soul in to the hand of almighty god that give it and my body I recommend to the Earth to be buryed in a discent Christain buryial at the discretion of my extr and nothing douting but at the general resurrection I shall receive the same again, by by [sic] the mighty power of god as tuching such worley Estate where with it has pleased god to bless me in this life I give and Demise and dispose of the same in the following manner and form first I give and bequeath to my well beloved wife Hanner Pendergrass the manner plantation during her life and all of my stock of horses hogs and cattle excluding the bay hors for my son Jesse Pendergrass after this crop is done I give like Wise to my Wife all my house hold goods and chattels her life and then to be Equally divided between Moses and Anney I give to my son Moses Pendergrass one hundred acres of Land where on I now live and like wise constitute my friend Hezekiah Massey to be my Executor in witness Where of the sd John Pendergrass hath set his hand and assigned his Seal this seventeenth day of april in the year of our lord one thousand seven hundred and ninety four singed [sic] sealed and acknowledged by the [sd] John Pendergrass to be his last will and testament singd [sic] sealed and delivered in presents of Us.

Wake County Sept Term 1794
The within Will was duly proved in Open Court by the oaths of Benjamin Wheeler and Solomon Pendergrass witnesses thereto and ordered to be recorded.
H Lane C C Recorded in the Clarks [sic] Office in the County of Wake in Book D and page 32 this 21st day of May1797. H Lane C C 55
It is not known exactly where in Wake County the will was signed. or whether Benjamin Wheeler was a practicing attorney (he did not style himself “Esq”), but by law everyone who signed was in the same room at the same time. The wording of the will itself is ambiguous in places. First, the term “manner” [manor] didn’t have the connotation of “mansion” that it has today and may have been quite humble, and it is hard to say whether the “manner plantation” and the hundred acres were the same property or not. Given all the circumstances - that John was not taxed for more than the one tract of a hundred acres, that Moses was still a minor at the writing of the will and could not have owned property in his own right but could have had an unperfected remainder interest in it after Hannah’s life estate, the fact that both he and Hannah later signed to sell part of it, and the custom of leaving the farm to the youngest minor son so that he could provide a home for his mother until his majority - the best interpretation of the language is that John intended to leave a life estate in the house and farm to Hannah and the remainder to Moses, or at least that she would caretake the property until Moses came of legal age at 21. In 1794, in the first months after John’s death, Hannah was taxed for and paid the property taxes on the hundred acres herself.56
The language “well beloved” was interlineated before “wife Hanner”. It is not known why it was originally omitted, but its insertion was definitely deliberate.
John’s wife at the time of writing his will was Hannah Unknown and there is nothing to suggest that she was not his only wife. In other works and thousands of online family trees, John has been given a fictional “first wife” based only on the fact that in 1788 some other John Pendergrass all the way up in Philadelphia married a Hannah Grady[Gradon?] in April of that year.57 Since this marriage was too late for Philadelphia Hannah to have been the mother of Wake John’s children, instead of realizing that not all people of the same name were the same person, Allen Pendergraft (and apparently my father) concocted a far-fetched theory that Hannah was John’s second wife, thus leaving an opening for the rôle of “first” wife. Building on this first mistake, Allen commented, based solely on the fact that Wake John long after his death had a grandson named Ransom, that “perhaps John’s first wife was a Ransom.”58 Now, in thousands of online trees, the thoroughly nonexistent Miss Ransom has acquired a first name, birth and death dates for locations that didn’t exist at the time of those fictional dates, and has been credited with all of poor Hannah’s children, plus a few extra !
Laying to final rest the nonsense that an elderly, poor farmer somehow made his way for no known reason to Pennsylvania to go wife shopping, is the documentation of a John Pendergrass in the 1793 Septennial census of Pennsylvania[7-P] living about 20 blocks from the church where the marriage to Hannah Grady took place in 1788.59 Philadelphia John Pendergrass was living there in the Fall of 1793 while Wake John was preparing to die in North Carolina in the Spring of 1794, making it plain that the “first wife” theory is, to put it politely, pure hogwash. Moreover, Hannah Grady has now been claimed by another family as Hannah Gradon, wife of their own well-known John Pendergrass in Pennsylvania.60
Several extra children have also been attributed to John and Hannah (or John and the fictional Miss Ransom) in other works and trees. Thomas was erroneously placed there only because he married Nancy Copes in Wake County, but it was on the western side of the county and he was part of the Orange County group. Raleigh was placed there because there was a Raleigh in the revolution and “Wake” John had at least two grandsons named Raleigh, but this is tentatiave [see discussion below.] Vincent was erroneously placed as a son of John and Hannah, again only because “Wake” John had a grandson through Moses named Vincent decades later. Page County, Virginia, Vincent was actually part of a different family up in the very northernmost tip of Virginia with no known North Carolina connections. His family was still in Page County after the Sandy Creek Pendergrasses arrived in North Carolina, and for a long time thereafter, so any possible connection would have had to have been in Virginia before the 1750s, and none has yet been discovered.

Additionally, there have been daughters added as children of John and Hannah, which certainly could have happened, but there is no extant record of any besides Anney. Several online trees have an Edy Pendergrass as a daughter of John and Hannah, born about 20 years after his death[!].
Many researchers have placed “Buncombe” John as a child of “Wake” John and Hannah, based solely on the names of his children, which is never sound practice, but now, though there is no written record proving it, there is circumstantial and YDNA evidence which at least raises the strong possibility that he was. It is known from an 1850 Alabama court administration of Spencer’s daughter Sarah that Spencer [Sr] had no son named John, nor was Buncombe John a son of “Bob’s” John, who already had his own son named John. The remaining adult Pendergrass men in the Sandy Creek area in the late 1760s were only “Wake” John and William or someone who somehow managed to evade the tax man and never appear in any public record. The same is true of the unplaced Nimrod who was living near Spencer’s sons in Iredell County - “Bob’s” John had a Nimrod of his own, and Spencer had no son named Nimrod. Further discussion of the paternity of “Buncombe “ John can be found in Chapters 6D and 8, and for Nimrod of Iredell, in Chapter 6-E.
Mary Unknown (not Raleigh)’s death has been reported various places as having been in 1785, the same year assumed to have been the death year of her husband William because previous authors confused him with “third” William over in Orange County who was deceased by 1785.61 Because Mary first appeared as head of a two woman household in Fishing Creek district in July 1786,62 the 1785 death date for her husband was not questioned, but in fact, the last known mention of Bute/Franklin County William before his 1789 estate administration was a tax list in 1771. Mary was alive to administer William’s estate in 178963 and to act as witness for William Dickerson’s will in 1799.64 When that will went into probate in 1819, Mary was said to have been deceased, so she died sometime between 1800 and 1819. William Dickerson, whose will she signed as a witness in 1799, was also the name of the person who had acted as Mary’s security for the proper administration of her late husband’s estate in 178965. It is not known where Mary lived after William’s death [no later than July 1786] as she does not again appear on records as head of household, but from tax lists, Jesse Pendergrass (son of “Wake” John) and his family were living in her neighborhood for a while after William’s death. It is also unknown whether John and Spencer were sons of William and Mary or whether the three men were brothers or related in some other way, but there was definitely some family relationship between William, “Wake” John, Spencer, Bob’s John, and (at least genetically) Buncombe John. It is not known whether or where Mary and William attended church, if they had children, or where they were buried. [See Chapter 6-B]
In the 1800 Wake County census, Solomon, Benjamin and Moses were listed together in a group, although the census was arranged by first letter of last name. Solomon and Benjamin each had a white female and young children in their households. Moses, recently married in January 1800, listed one white female and no children. In none of these households were there women of the right age to be Hannah or Anney, and there is no evidence of their whereabouts, but both were still living in the area, and Hannah was not a head of household. There is no known record of a second marriage for her.
In 1802, Hannah, Solomon and Moses sold 50 acres of land to Martha Burns [Bunn?], with a legal description similar to that of John’s original hundred acres from 1789.66 Hannah would have had to sign away her life estate, Moses would have had to sign away his remainder ownership or whatever interest he then had, but there is no record explaining where the other 50 acres went or why Solomon would have signed as one of the sellers unless some of the land was his. The deed to Martha Burns reads as follows:
This indenture made this 11th day of Dec in the year of our Lord 1802 between Martha Burns of Wake County, state of North Carolina on the one part, Moses Pendergrass and Solomon Pendergrass and Hanner Pendergrass of Wake County in the state aforesaid of the other part, witnesseth: That the said Moses, Solomon and Hanner Pendergrass for and in consideration of the sum of 25 pounds to them in hand paid the resept whereof we acknowledge, have bargain, sell and delineate the said Martha Burns, her heirs and assigns forever, a certain tract or parcel of land lying and being in Wake County lying on the drains of the Beaverdam Branch and Stake aforesaid on waters of Mockerson Creek and bounded as Followeth: Beginning at a corner Poplar in Benjamin Pendergrass’ line then south to Hezekiah Massey’s line to a corner Black Gum, then north by a line of marked trees to a corner Red Oak, then west to a corner Post Oak, then south by a line of marked trees to a corner Pine, then east to the first station, containing 50 acres more or less...to have and to hold [etc]
Moses, Solomon and Hannah all signed with the mark of (X), David Burns, Benjamin (his mark an “R”) Pendergrass, and Stephen Tomlinson, who signed his full name in cramped script, witnessed, and the deed was recorded at the November term of Court 1807.67
No further mention of Hannah in any surviving record has been found.
In 1805, Anney married James Goodson68[7-U] who was apprenticed to close Wake Counry neighbor Robert Chamblee when he was orphaned at age 15.69 No parental consent was attached for either party.
Stephen Thomlinson, who witnessed both John’s will in 1794 and the deed to Martha Burns in 1802, signed in full in a small crabbed hand on both documents but remains unidentified in terms of his relationship, if any, to the family (or law firm or clerk?). Dickersons were neighbors who intermarried with Pendergrass descendants in later generations, but the relationship of the William Dickerson who acted as security for Mary’s administration of William’s estate in 1789 and whose will Mary witnessed in 1799 is not known. Either man could have been connected in some familial way or merely as friendly neighbors.
A. Solomon Pendergrass, according to the 1850 census of Dunn District of Franklin County just north and across Moccasin Creek from his father “Wake” John’s former farm, was born in Sandy Creek district of North Carolina about 1760/1, as his age was listed as 90 in that year. Since there is no birth record extant for Solomon, and it is not known who answered the census taker’s questions or how accurate those answers were, his exact birth year is unknown, but the 1790 census shows him as under 45, the 1800 as born between 1756 -1774, the 1810 and 1820 Wake censuses are missing altogether for Wake, and in 1830 he said he was born 1761-1770, and in 1850 born about 1760, so 1761 seems a reasonable working estimate. In 1761, his father was being taxed consistently in the area of old Granville County which was (barely) inside the Bute County line when Granville was divided vertically into Granville and Bute in 1764, so if born in 1761 his actual birthplace was old Granville County, later Bute. Bute County itself became extinct when it was divided into Warren (north half) and Franklin (south half) in 1779, so Solomon was born in what is now Warren County in the Sandy Creek tax district. He did not appear on any tax list or other public record as a male tithe over the age of 16 in his parents’ household, since by the time he reached age 16 in about 1777, tax laws were changing chaotically, tax lists went missing because of the war, and the taxable age was raised to 21 in 1784. He first appeared of record in nearby Wake County where the family had relocated in 1789, and is assumed to have been one of the white males listed as over 16 in “Wake” John’s household in the 1790 census. On three consecutive tax lists for 1792, 1793 and 1794, he was taxed for 100 acres in his own name, incorrectly listed by the tax taker as Saulsbury (for Sol or Saul, as he was sometimes called.) The county list was corrected shortly thereafter, and in all other records he was listed simply as Solomon or Sol/Saul under some spelling variation, and it is clear that despite what may have been published elsewhere, Saulsbury was not his middle name but merely a clerical error copied from one tax list to the next until it was corrected. Being unable to read or write, Solomon would not have known of the mistake.
Though no record of a land purchase has been located, in each of those years he was taxed in Wake for one hundred acres of land held in his own name, but in 1799 for only 50 acres and by 1802 and thereafter for no land at all.
Solomon witnessed (by marking +) his father’s will on 17 April, 1794. He was not a beneficiary, but he was in the room when his father, “Wake” John, aware of imminent death, signed his will, and it was Solomon who went into court that September with John’s executor, Hezekiah Massey, to prove the will70 and have it admitted to probate.7N
Sometime around July 1797, Solomon purchased a jug and funnel and a bridle from the estate of his late neighbor Mary Privett,71 and among the many buyers with familiar names from the area were John and Benjamin Wheeler, Benjamin having drawn and witnessed “Wake” John’s deathbed will.
In 1798, Solomon was appointed to serve on a committee “to act upon dividing the land” of another Privett neighbor, Israel, deceased, (widow Olive) with David Horton, Esq., George Bell, and Hardiman Dunn, as the land adjoined that of George Bell, Henry Bell, John Pendergrass and Peter Hopkins. Although he had been dead for four years, and had only lived there for five before his death, the land was still referenced as that of John Pendergrass, while in that year John’s widow Hannah still had a life estate and Moses the remainder. [The record of Solomon’s appointment to this committee was found by happenstance in the Privett loose will file on a small scrap of paper and is not indexed or noted elsewhere.]72
Solomon signed the deed with Hannah and Moses to convey fifty acres of his brother Moses’ inherited land to Martha Burns in 1802,73 and thereafter he was taxed for no land in his own name. Since they were adjacent, perhaps parts of each parcel were conveyed.
In the 1800 Wake census, Solomon and his apparent brothers Benjamin and Moses were each married and their surnames were grouped together in the by-letter county-wide list. In 1800, Solomon had in his household a white female in his own age bracket, a boy and three girls, each under the age of ten. There has been a great deal of speculation about the identity of Solomon’s wife and an assumption that she might have been a Wright since Solomon had an apparent son with that first name. There is some indication that his son Wright/Wrightman had a later connection to others of that name, but Solomon also had a son named Bennett and perhaps others who remain unidentified, so the identity of Solomon’s wife remains unknown. There is no surviving marriage or other record mentioning her, even by first name.
Solomon remained as one white male on poll and land tax lists in Wake County until 1822 when he was in his sixties, though by then the law exempted white males over 45 years of age from poll tax. There were no mentions of him in court records except in September 1794 when he appeared to prove his father’s will. Solomon appears not to have been litigious and never to have been on a delinquents’ list, but to have been a generally responsible citizen.
Solomon has not been found in any 1840 census of the area, [1810 and 1820 are missing] but in 1850, he was living with his daughter Penelope “Penny” and her husband, Henry Bunn, in Dunn district of Franklin county just across Moccasin Creek from the corner of Wake County where his father John had bought land, and there was no wife listed with him. He was said to have been 90 in 1850 and did not appear in the 1860 census.
B. Jesse Pendergrass was born around 1764 in Bute, later Warren County, based on his marriage year and his first appearance as a taxable male in 1784. Although his father was listed in Capt. Fussell’s extant 1783 tax list, Jesse did not appear until the following year, in which he also bonded on 8 August to marry Rachel Vigors in Warren County74 and did so. Jonathan Norman was his bondsman and Duke Johnson the witness. Jesse signed, accidentally or not, with an unusual mark like a circle with horns.[7-F]
In 1785 both Jesse and his father “Wake” John were taxed in John’s usual Sandy Creek, Warren County, neighborhood near Aaron Fussell and other familiar neighbors, but after that year, both disappeared from records there - Jesse temporarily - and no Pendergrasses were found in the county.
In the following year, an eastern slice of Granville County was annexed into Warren and not long afterward put back, so the county boundaries changed twice and caused considerable confusion.
Mary [Unknown] (Pendergrass), widow of William, was taxed in Granville County as head of household in July 1786 in Fishing Creek district on Zachariah Higg’s list that was used as a census substitute later. Living with her was another white female, the age of neither woman given. The household was near neighbors named Harp/Earp, Kittrell, and William Dickerson, who was bondsman for Mary’s administration of her late husband’s estate in 1789 Franklin Connty. In 1799, in Granville County, she witnessed his will (or that of someone with the same name.)75
In the 1790 census, Jesse and his family were listed in Franklin County (where Mary administered William’s estate in September 1789, so Franklin was William and Mary’s normal county of residence at the time of WiIlliam’s death.) and the household was composed of Jesse himself, over 16, 2 white males under the age of 16, and two white females with no ages specified, one of whom was his wife Rachel, since later records show that she survived him.
By 1793, in the March court session of Franklin County, Jesse was in James Sherrod’s district and excused from paying poll tax because he was adjudged to be insolvent, along with many of his neighbors, one or two the same as Mary’s 1786 neighbors. In 1797, he was taxed in Epping Forest district of Granville County among many of Mary’s same neighbors (Pierce, Kittrell, Hayes, Harp) and in a location where his apparent uncle Spencer [Sr] had recently lived before him. It is plausible that when they disappeared from their Sandy Creek neighborhood, Jesse and John went to be with or near Mary when William died, at least until John bought the Wake county land in 1789, since they were both missing from public records from 1786 until then.
In 1800, Jesse was taxed in Fishing Creek district in Mary’s neighborhood, and he and Rachel were on the Granville county census that year, as well. Both stated they were between 26-44 when Jesse should have been about 36 years old. Living with them were two white males 10-15, 1 white male and two white females each under the age of ten, the appropriate ages for sons Isaac, Daniel and Jesse [Jr], In the 1810 census, the family was listed in Warren County near Coghills/Cogwells, and with Isaac,by then his own head of household, nearby. Jesse and Rachel were still 26-44, with a white male 16-25, a white male 10-15, a white male under ten, a white female 16-25 and two white females under ten.
If all the younger people in the household in 1790, 1800 and 1810 were biological children of Jesse and Rachel, then at least one daughter remains unidentified.
The 1820 census records are missing for the Sandy Creek area, and by 1830, Rachel was widowed and listed as a Warren county head of household, 60-69, together with a female 40-49, a female 5-9, and a male under 5. In 1840, she was still there with a stated age of 80-89 and living with an unnamed white female under five years old. She did not appear in the 1850 census.
From cemetery headstones and other records, it is clear that Jesse and Rachel were for some years living somewhere on the north side of Sandy Creek just above the southern Warren/Franklin County line. Until recently on topographic maps, there was a road called Pendergrass Road, now called Summit Road, which is a gravel road running along the north side of Sandy Creek.7C Jesse descendants who intermarried with Askews/Ayscues, Coghills, Coleys and Nuckles, among others, are buried on the four corners of tiny nearby Vicksboro, previously called Coley’s Corners or Coley’s Crossroads, and just east of the northeast corner there still stood until recently an elderly cabin in bad repair said by locals to have been rented and occupied by unidentified Pendergrasses of the past,7O In addition to the four cemeteries in Vicksboro, there is an older, overgrown cemetery down Pendergrass Road by Sandy Creek which contains headstones for Jessie G Pendergrass, born 1821, [grandson of Jesse and Rachel] and his wife Frances “Fanny” Nuckles, as well as other graves marked only by plain stones, adding to the evidence that the original Sandy Creek Pendergrasses lived in that same area. [Note: Jessie G was sometimes listed as Jesse C.]
In 1881, when Vance County was created, the county line between Vance and Warren split the little settlement of Vicksboro vertically, right up the middle of the road with its one traffic signal, one half in each county. In the northwest corner of the crossroads is the Richard Jordan Pendergrass cemetery, another nearby it, one across the road to the southwest, and one on the southeast corner. There are four corners, four main houses, four cemeteries. Vicksboro, populated almost exclusively by Jesse descendants and in-laws, is not far north of the former Pendergrass Road and the older, overgrown cemetery.
Local tradition insists that there is a haunted area called Weaver’s Creek Hill where a predominantly African-American church used to be. It lies on the road between Vicksboro and Henderson and it is said that moans and the sounds of chains rattling could be heard there at night, presumed to be made by the souls of former slaves. Joyce Pendergrass (Atchison) recalls that when her father, Early Jones “Doc” Pendergrass, was young in the 1900s, he would be dispatched with a wagon once a week to the town of Henderson to bring back supplies for the small grocery store his family had in what is now Vicksboro. His payment for the trip was a bottle of Coca-Cola which he would set to cool on the block of ice he always brought back for the store. It was an all day trip and after once hearing the moans and chains rattling on Weaver’s Creek Hill one night as he returned, he thereafter made certain to be home before dark.
One of the saddest stories about this family was told by the late Floyd Pendergrass, who lived on the southeast corner of tiny Vicksboro. Except for the gentleman who runs the small store on the northeast corner, everyone in Vicksboro, dead or alive, seems to be a Pendergrass descendant of Jesse and Rachel, or married to one. If Floyd had not been kind enough to relate it, this story would have been difficult to reconstruct from the existing records, though once it is known, the records support it. It concerns two brothers, grandsons of Jesse and Rachel. The elder, Thomas, married Sarah Nuckles[7-Y] on April 1st, 18597P, and they are shown in the 1860 census living together in Sandy Creek, Warren County, without children. In the 1870 census, Sarah is found in the same location living with husband William Pendergrass, a son Thomas [James Thomas born 1861] and two little girls. Anyone casually looking at these census records would assume that her husband’s name was William Thomas Pendergrass, but the real story is a stark reminder of the terrible conflicts and losses caused by the War between the States (which many residents of the area are still verbally fighting, and which some there jokingly call The War of Northern Aggression.)
Thomas and Sally had been married only a little over two years when war broke out and he enlisted for the cause of the Confederacy on August 1st, 1861, in Company F, 8th North Carolina Regiment, Infantry. His brother William enlisted at the same place a few days later and was assigned to Company D. Thomas was on sick furlough when his regiment was captured in 1862, and although one of his military records stated that he deserted from July 31st to August 16, 1863, and then returned, a later record hints that he may instead have been on secret “extra duty”, a special assignment entrusted to him by the major.
On September 1st, 1864, Thomas wrote this heartbreaking letter to his young wife and son, which, tattered and worn away in the folds, had remained in the hands of his great grandson Floyd Pendergrass until recently, when Floyd said he had entrusted it to Kurt Southerland, a Pendergrass descendant. As best the copy can be transcribed in its current condition, it said: [7-Z, 7-AA]
“September the 1 day, 1864 [Viz?] Va
Dear Companion, I once ... ... with the opportunity of ... droping you a few lines to ancer your kind letter which come to hand the other day it was gladly received and read with pleasure and I was glad to hear at you was well.

So fare you well for this time maybe forever in this wourld but I hope to meet you in a better wourld than this. This from Thomas Pendergrass to Sarah Pendergrass.”
Nineteen days later, Thomas was dead.
Military records show that William was sick in the Division Hospital at Richmond from February through October of 1864, at the same time that his brother Thomas was brought there suffering from the dysentery that killed him on September 20th, 1864, lending further credence to the family legend that on his deathbed, Thomas made William promise him that if Thomas did not survive the war, William would marry Sarah, and care for her and his son.
On December 8th, 1865, William Pendergrass married his brother’s widow.[7-BB]
Thomas’ remains lie in a mass military grave in Virginia, but his father insisted that a memorial Confederate headstone be placed for him in the small cemetery, one of four at the crossroads, on the southeast corner of Vicksboro behind the house of his great-granddaughter Tempie Pendergrass (Allen.)[7-CC]
C. “Buncombe” John [tentative] John Pendergrass, according to census and pension records of his father-in-law, Benjamin Oliver, was born around 1768 but it is not known where. He first appeared in the 1800 Buncombe County census married to Elizabeth “Betsy” Oliver with two white males under the age of 10. His parentage is unproven but a good circumstantial case for his placement here can be made from land and other records, a solid YDNA match and the names of his children. A detailed discussion of his possible parentage is found in Chapter 6D, and his history and descendants in Chapter 8.
D. Nimrod of North Carolina [tentative] Nimrod Pendergrass has only a very tenuous connection to the “Wake” John group. Born about 1769 in an unknown location, he was first found in records in old Wilkes County, but he was born too early to be a son of Benjamin’s, nor, as is known from probate records, was he a son of Spencer Sr. He did not appear in the 1790 census, but first appeared on tax lists in Wilkes County in 1795 and 1797 as one white poll, and in the 1800 census in Morgan district of Wilkes, aged 26-44 with a white female in the same age bracket, two boys and a girl under 10. By 1810, he was in the Iredell County census still 26-44, with two boys 10-15 and a girl under 10. The family continued to appear on Iredell County lists, in 1815 with two white polls, joined in tax and census records by his two sons Warren born 1797 and John born 1799, as they became heads of household. In 1850, Nimrod, at 81, was living in the home of his son John. This line has essentially daughtered out, and YDNA testing has not been possible. Nimrod has been placed here for three reasons: he was listed near Spencer’s sons, James, Thornton and Joel in Capt. Lewis’ district, which cannot be a coincidence. Second, Nimrod was a relatively rare first name, and Bob’s John, who lived amidst the Sandy Creek Pendergrass men, had a son with that name, which cannot be a coincidence, and, third, there seems to be no other reasonable explanation for him, except possibly as a son of William and Mary. [See further Chapter 6E]
E. Benjamin Pendergrass was born about 1770, based on later census records, in the Sandy Creek area of what was then Bute but became Warren County in 1779. He moved with his parents to the northeastern corner of Wake County when John and Hannah bought the land in April, 1789, and a white male of the right age to be he was in the household in the 1790 census. Not long afterward, by about 1791, he married Amy Massey, daughter of his father’s good friend, Hezekiah Massey, and was an independent head of household in Capt. Horton’s district, taxed for 100 acres of land and one white poll in 1792, 1793 and 1794, the year his father died. There is a gap in the tax lists until 1799, when he was still listed as head of household with 100 acres of land, and in the 1800 census, where his name is grouped with that of apparent brothers Solomon and Moses, he and Amy reported themselves each to be between 26-44 years of age, with a boy and two girls under ten years old in the home. From later records, the boy has been identified as eldest son Raleigh, who later married Sally Horton in Wake.76
Unfortunately, the Wake County 1810 and 1820 census records, which would have shed so much light on the composition of the families there, are missing. Benjamin appeared regularly on other records, though, in the same district with the same land as one free poll in 1802 and in the same year witnessing the deed out to Martha Burns from his mother Hannah and brothers Moses and Solomon for some of the land Moses inherited in 1794. Benjamin’s mark was somewhere between an “R” and a “B”.
In 1805 he was listed as one white poll in Little River District ( previously called Horton’s), still with the 100 acres, and in 1809 was taxed for it at the rate of seven shillings, six pence. In 1807 he was bondsman for the marriage of James Massey to Sarah Bolton77, and in 1809 for the marriage of Clary Pendergrass to James Bolton78 and again in 1815 when widowed Clary married Richard Chamblee.79
Benjamin was not listed in Little River district in 1810 but instead had 113 acres in Crossroads district, closer to the town of Raleigh. He continued to act as bondman for Wake County marriages frequently, for William Jones and Laney Bolton80 in March 1814 and for his son Raleigh to marry Sally Horton81in June of that year, and again for the marriage of James Bell and Jincy Horton82 in November.
Thereafter, he and his family disappeared from Wake County records altogether and moved physically to take up land in Wilkes County, North Carolina in the Lovelace, Windy Gap area. By 1820, Benjamin and his son Raleigh were listed as heads of household there in census records. Benjamin and Amy’s household consisted of the two of them over 45 years of age, one female 16-25, one female 10-15, three boys and a girl under 10 [Massey was born in May 1815 according to later records].
In other works and online trees, Amy has erroneously been called Elizabeth, and has even been killed off in favor of a “second” wife with the maiden name “Bailey” only because Benjamin and Amy had a son named Bailey. However, Massey was born after Bailey, and listed her parents as Benjamin and Amy in a Quaker meeting record.83[7-Q] Not only was she named for her grandfather Hezekiah’s family surname, but she was mentioned in his 1826 Wake County will as being his grandchild through Benjamin Pendergrass84. Since Benjamin lived on adjacent property to the Hezekiah Massey family and married in Wake County by 1792, since Hezekiah was Benjamin’s father’s best friend, and since Massey was the next to last known child of this couple, it is clear that Amy Massey was the mother of all Benjamin’s children.
Benjamin and Amy’s eldest son Raleigh and his wife Sally Horton, living nearby, listed their ages as 16-26 and had two boys under 10 in their household in 1820. Both Benjamin and Raleigh gave their occupations as “agriculture”.
It should be noted here that in other works and online trees, Ransom’s name has unaccountably been substituted for Raleigh’s, apparently because both names start with “R”. Ransom was Benjamin’s nephew, son of his younger brother Moses, and was listed in no records at all in Wilkes County, having instead been in Wake County until about 1825, then in Wythe County, Virginia, and later in Alabama. Also, it should be noted that Benjamin’s brother Jesse had a son named Raleigh in the same generation, but Jesse’s Raleigh remained for life in the Sandy Creek area that researchers call “FWV” for Franklin/Warren/Vance, where those current county lines overlapped in time. “Buncombe” John, tentative brother
to Benjamin and Jesse, also had a son Raleigh who later moved to Alabama.
In 1824, on 24 January, William Horton promised the court to marry Patsy Pendergrass with Samuel Nicholson as his bondsman.85 As there were only the two Pendergrass households in Wilkes and as Raleigh had no daughter of marriageable age in 1824, Patsy is assumed to have been, and is placed herein, as a daughter of Benjamin.
In 1829, and again in 1831,Benjamin and Raleigh were listed as heads of household on unalphabetized tax lists, Benjamin (by then over 60) with no poll tax and 250 acres of land worth $250.00, and Raleigh with no land but taxed for one adult male. In 1831 they were listed in Capt Hayes’ district.
In the 1830 Wilkes County census, Benjamin reported his age as 60-69 and Amy 50-59, with three males, 20-29, 15-19 and 10-14 respectively and one female 15-19. Bailey would have been 20 years of age in 1830 and still at home before his marriage in 1833 to Ruth Rash,86 for which Raleigh was his bondsman.
In 1834 there were no Pendergrasses on surviving tax lists, but Capt Hayes’ list is missing. By 1837, Benjamin no longer appeared in records of Wilkes County, but his eldest son Raleigh was taxed on Capt Bricknel’s list for 50 acres on the waters of Hunter creek with “small improvements” and for himself as the only poll. Nearby and on the same list was [John] Henderson Pendergrass, with no land. In 1842 the will of John Brooks87 written on 7 September mentions his daughter Mary Pendergrass (the Mary “Polly” Brooks who married John “Henderson” Pendergrass). In May 1846 Raleigh was bondsman for Drury Pendergrass to marry Jane Mise,88 and in the 1850 Wilkes County census, he and Sally both reported that each had been born in Wake County, that each was then 60 years of age, and that living in their household were Benjamin 15, Amy 14, Sally 12, and William 5, the younger three having been in school in the past year. Raleigh’s son Benjamin was reported to have been a “deaf/dumb” farmer. At least one other grandchild of old Benjamin was also reported to have been deaf, with no reason given for the disability. (1850 was the first year in which the question was asked on the census form.)
In the 1850s and 60s in Wilkes County, numerous descendants of Benjamin married and brought up families, but Benjamin himself had relocated to Rush County, Indiana, and appeared in the 1840 census there as head of household 70-79 with a female in the same age bracket and one white male 20-29, (so born between 1811 and 1820.)
Benjamin does not appear on the 1850 Rush County census, nor does Amy, but in that year as well as in 1860 their grandson Bailey and his wife Ruth were living there with their only known children, Raleigh, Riley, and Martha. Interestingly, in 1870 Bailey and Ruth were living alone together, in 1880, Bailey was widowed and living with his son Riley and family, but in 1896, Bailey and his apparent second wife Belle Unknown were investigated by and then accepted into the Kokomo Quaker meeting.89
The federal mortality schedule index contains the information that some Benjamin Pendergrass died in December 1850 in Randolph County, Indiana as the result of a “horse injury” but as the reported age of this deceased Benjamin was only 44, either the age was listed incorrectly or it was a different Benjamin than the one born in Wake county who married Amy Massey, because that Benjamin would have been in his eighties in 1850 and unmistakably not in his forties. [7-V]
Wilkes County continues to be populated by many descendants of Benjamin and Amy [Massey] Pendergrass, but no direct male descendant has as yet been located for YDNA testing. The paper trail is so strong and continuous that YDNA testing seems unnecessary for placing Benjamin as son of “Wake”John.
F. Moses Pendergrass was born around 1778 in what was Bute County until 1779 and then became Warren. Although he was listed in the 1850 Lee County, Virgina census as born in 1780, he was first taxed in Wake in 1799 and would not voluntarily have paid taxes before he was actually 21. A two year margin in birth years is very common in census records due to the time they were taken and the way the questions about age were phrased retrospectively. In the 1790 Wake census in “Wake” John’s household there were three white males over 16 (John, Solomon, Benjamin) and one under 16 (Moses, who was therefore born no earlier than 1774 and no later than 1778). The exact year Moses turned 21 cannot be determined because Wake County tax lists are missing after 1794 (when Hannah paid the tax on the land) until 1799, when Moses paid for himself.
When his father John wrote his will in April 1794, Moses was no older than 20 and since his mother paid the taxes as head of household in 1794 after John’s death, Moses was not 21 until at least 1796, which puts his birth year between 1775 and 1778, just at the time of the American Revolution.
When “Wake” John died, the less than artful drafting of his will90 created ambiguity about his real estate. The will [7-O] gave John’s “manner plantation” to well beloved wife Hanner [Hannah] for her life and the “hundred acres whereon I now live” to son Moses without specifying when. First, a manor house in 1790s North Carolina was not necessarily anything approaching a mansion, which John could not have afforded, and a hundred acres was a minimal farm to support a family. John’s will also left Moses and his sister Anney one half each of his personal property at Hannah’s death. Based on the lack of any taxes paid on any other parcels of real estate, it seems clear that John’s testamentary intent was to create a life estate for Hannah in the hundred acres (and house) with the remainder to revert to Moses at Hannah’s death. This is confirmed by the fact that when fifty acres of the land was sold in 1802, Moses and Hannah both signed, along with Solomon. It would have required signatures from both Hannah, to convey her life estate, and Moses, to convey his remainder interest, in order to complete the fee simple sale to Martha Burns.
Newly widowed Hannah paid the tax for 100 acres of land in 1794, with no poll, but by the first time Moses was on a surviving tax list in 1799, only 50 acres was left, and in 1802 that was sold, too.
On November 5th 1795, a court record of an estate sale91 recorded that on July 2nd, Moses had bought “an axe and a hand mill” from the estate of close Wake neighbor Elisha Strickland for 12.6. In Wake County on January 11th, 1800, Moses bonded to marry Nancy Wheeler92 with Thomas Wheeler bondsman and Lewis Green, witness,[7-T]and in that year’s federal census, Moses was listed as a head of household with himself and a white female both between 16 and 26 years of age and no other family. However, Solomon and Benjamin were listed with their young families in the same district and although the list was arranged by first letter of last name (not strictly alphabetized), all three names were together, indicating that the census taker likely visited them one right after the other (or all together.)
In 1802, Moses was taxed for fifty acres of land, and for himself, one white male poll, but by the end of that year, he and Hannah sold the fifty acres, and to fulfill some unexplained legal requirement,as co-owner,[or guardian?] Moses’ brother Solomon signed as a seller as well, and Benjamin, whose land adjoined the fifty acres, signed as a witness.[see above]. Moses, Solomon and Hanner all signed with a mark of “X” as sellers, and Benjamin signed as a witness with the mark “R”. David Burns and Stephen Tomlinson signed as additional witnesses, all of these people having been in the same room at the same time, and the land was adjacent not only to Hezekiah Massey’s [Benjamin’s father-in-law] but to Benjamin’s own as well, thus removing any doubt that these four people were of the same family. This deed was recorded in the November court term of 1807.
Interestingly, Moses was taxed for 320 acres of land in Wake in 1805, Little River District, and there is no record of how he obtained it, but it was gone by 1809, and in that year, as well as in 1810, 1811, 1812, and 1813, Moses was taxed as one free white head of household, with no land or other taxables, missing in 1814 though the list is extant, and on the tax list for 1815 as one poll. However, in that same year he was also on the insolvents and removals list, meaning that he had been excused by the court from taxes on the grounds of poverty, infirmity or old age, or had moved out of the tax district. If he had moved, he had not gone far, because he was still in the area in other records, and did not appear in other districts on tax lists. He was not excused for age because he would only have been in his late thirties. There is no record of what he had been doing for a living or where he had been living after all the land was gone, but it should be noted that Pendergrass men in the Sandy Creek area who were also on insolvents’ lists, managed to rear large, successful families by renting or sharecropping.
It should also be noted that Moses, son of “Wake” John, was continuously in Wake County records until 1824 and therefore cannot have been the same Moses, son of Orange County Job, who was in Burke County on the other side of the state during that time.
After 1815 when he was excused from paying taxes, Moses was not taxed as a head of household, and the census records are missing for 1810 and 1820 Wake County, but he had not left the area because two of his sons were courting Perry brides there. On March 15th, 1823, Moses signed as bondsman for his son Aaron to marry Willey Perry,93 with B.S. King, the court clerk, as witness, and also in 1824, he paid 12 cents taxes for fifty acres of land owned by an L Perry though he himself was still not taxed. Then, on 1 December 1824, Moses and Nancy’s son Ransom pledged, with James Chamblee as bondsman, to marry Milly Perry.94 [7-W] Ransom, only, was on the 1826 Wake tax list, with no indication that he had paid.
Moses, Aaron and Ransom Pendergrass were not mentioned in any record in Wake or adjacent counties thereafter.
Moses, Aaron and Ransom Pendergrass all appeared shortly thereafter, by 1826, in Wythe County, Virginia and in the case of Aaron, in then adjacent Washington County and later in Wythe as well. Moses and his extended family remained there (except for Ransom who left abruptly for Alabama in 1833) until 1839, when Moses moved to Lee County, Virginia in time for the 1840 census.
In 1826, Moses was taxed on J Sanders’ list for one white poll over the age of 16 and one horse, cow or ass. In following years, he, Ransom and “Winston” [Vincent] were each taxed on T Sander’s list for one white male over 16 in 1827, 1828 and 1829 and sometimes for a cow or horse. In 1830, Vincent’s first name was corrected on the county tax list.
The 1830 census showed Moses as head of household born 1770-80 [Moses born about 1778], a white female born 1780-90 [Nancy Wheeler] and an unidentified older white male born 1760-1770. Also living in were a white male born 1800-1810, a white male born 1815-1820 [Cordy, born 1819], a white female born 1810-1815, and a white female born 1815-1820.
In that year, Moses and a Joel Medley [Medlin, close Wake neighbors and in-laws] were exempted by court order from paying taxes for no stated reason,95 but Moses was over 50 by then. In 1831, and 1832, his name was on T Sanders’ property list as one white male but he was charged no tax. Vincent and Ransom were on the same list, and in 1832, Aaron was listed there as well.
In April 1834, Moses had somehow purchased land office treasury warrant number 2652, supposed to have been 150 acres on the headwaters of Miller’s Creek and Peck’s Creek, and in 1836 it was surveyed at 226 acres. There were others on the warrant, but the survey stated it was done for Moses Pendergrass alone.7S[7-DD]
On August 11,1835, Moses was sued civilly by Benjamin Hart on behalf of Robert Miller96 for a debt Moses had owed since October of 1834, of $27.00 plus $6.48 interest.
In 1836, Moses and son Vincent were on Adams Sanders’ list, each as one white male over 16 with a horse or cow but charged no tax, and in 1837 the same but without horses or cows and in 1838 each with a horse or cow again, and each charged 18 cents for it.
Parentage of Cordy Pendergrass, known from his headstone to have been born 9 December, 1819, in North Carolina, is proven by his family Bible, where he listed his parents as Moses and Nancy Pendergrass. YDNA testing confirms without doubt that this Moses was the same Moses, son of “Wake” John mentioned in John’s will, since descendants of this Moses match descendants of his older brother Jesse.97
Since Ransom had left shortly after having been sworn in as constable in 1833, leaving behind at least one child, the composition of Moses’ household in 1840 is difficult to sort out, and here a moment must be taken to examine the records of the poor school children of Wythe County who were provided a sponsored education by the state’s literacy program.98 In 1832, Pendergrass children appeared in these records for the first time, Cordy was listed as a child of Moses at age 12 in October, so born about 1819 or 1820 (known to have been born 9 December 1819), and in that same year, (Sylvester) Green, was listed as a child of Ransom, age 7 in October, so born about 1825, a year after Ransom and Milly were married. In 1838, Francis [Frances] Pendergrass was sponsored by guardian Elville Beville at age 11 in October of that year, so born about 1827. Then, in July of 1839 Cordy was listed as taxable, and Green, 12 (1825/6) Frances, 11 (1827), and Julia, 9 (1829), were all listed as children of Moses Pendergrass in the records of poor school children. [Credit to Daniel Boone Pendergrass III for this enlightening find].
The question then arises as to the parentage of the girls, Frances and Julia, and of the Louisa Jane who according to the 1850 Lee County census was living with Moses and an infant named for him. Louisa Jane was said to have been born about 1825. This author makes no claim to any certainty on this issue, especially as to Louisa Jane, but reasons as follows based on the known facts:
Nancy Wheeler (Pendergrass) in the 1830 Wythe census was listed one age bracket younger than Moses, but in 1840 they were both listed as born between 1770 and 1780. If only slightly younger than Moses, (who could not have been born later than 1778 to pay taxes in 1799), and born between 1770 and 1780, her birth year was close to 1780, so her childbearing years were likely over by 1820, the last year in which the last child listed in the 1830 census could have been born. In 1830, it had been at least 10 and maybe even 14 years since she had borne a child who had survived to be listed in the census. In 1830 there were people of the right age in the household to have been Moses and Nancy, Vincent and Cordy, plus a female born 1810-1815 and one born 1815-1820, assumed to have been their daughters. Also, there was an unidentified older man in the household born 1760-1770 who could have been anyone.
In the Lee County, Virginia, 1840 census, then, there were Moses, born 1770-1780, a white female assumed to be Nancy in the same age bracket, a white male born 1810-1820 (Cordy, born 1819), a white male born 1825-1830 (Sylvester Green, son of Ransom, born c. 1825), an unidentified male under the age of 5, an unidentified white female born 1810-1820, a white female born 1825-30 (Frances, born 1827) a white female born 1830-1835 (Julia Ann, born 1829/30), and an unidentified white female under the age of 5. Again, other than Moses himself, there is no way to be certain who was living in the household. On the surface, since the female born 1810-20 was likely the same person as the female listed as born 1810-1915 in the 1830 census, the household composition seems to have been Moses and Nancy, Cordy, still at home and unmarried, a daughter born 1811-1815 and her two toddlers, then Frances A and Julia Ann, daughters of Ransom and Milly. If the remaining unidentifed female in the 1830 census was Louisa Jane, which seems to be the only explanation for her, then her age is incorrect in the 1850 census.
Unless Louisa Jane was the 68 year old Moses’ extremely young second wife, and there is no record of such a marriage, then she was living with the widowed Moses in 1850 with an illegitimate infant named for him. This author postulates, only, that Louisa Jane was the last child born to Nancy and Moses by 1820 and that her reported age of 25 in the 1850 census, was either an error by whoever answered the census questions. or that she followed the tradition of Pendergrass women in Lee County, Virginia, by fibbing about her real age. However, this reasoning is completely speculative and as easily wrong as right. [Note: Louisa Jane was probably born too soon to have been Ransom’s child.]
Only slightly less troubling is the parentage of Frances and Julia, but this author tentatively places them with Sylvester Green as children of Ransom and Milly, on the following grounds: Sylvester Green is listed at least once as a child of Ransom and the two girls were born at roughly two-year intervals after him, as would be normal for a younger woman rather than an older one. It is of course possible that all the children were Moses and Nancy’s except Sylvester Green, but as Green was first listed as a child of Ransom and then of Moses, it is logical that the girls, born at the very end of Nancy’s probable child bearing years, were enrolled in school as children of Moses only because Ransom had departed abruptly and left them in his parents’ care, along with Sylvester Green. Frances A, born in 1727, was not listed in the household of Moses and Nancy in 1830.
In August 1839, just before most of the family left Wythe for Lee, Moses sued John and Richard Privett on behalf of Hiram Kinser regarding a bond with interest due since August 23rd, 1837, which suit was granted.99[Note: Privetts and Medlins were close neighbors of the Pendergrasses in Wake and Lucinda Criger, Sylvester Green’s widow, married a Kinser after Sylvester Green’s death].
Lee County, Virginia, was the last stop for those going over Cumberland Gap and along the Wilderness Trail into Kentucky, and was named, not for Robert E Lee, but for his father Light Horse Harry.100 The region is so ruggedly mountainous that until the Gap was discovered even Daniel Boone had a hard time getting to Kentucky. Some settlers in Lee stayed there for life, but for many. it was a stop on the way west and a place to buy a wagon and provisions for the journey. Blacksmithing and wagon building were flourishing businesses, especially at the time of the Civil War. The steep terrain and tree-covered mountains are among the most beautiful in the world, but not known for easy farming.
The first appearance of any Pendergrass in Lee County, the westernmost county of Virginia,was when Moses, Cordy, and Vincent appeared all at once on the tax list of Alex Irving’s district in 1840. Moses was the only taxable male in his household but he was charged no tax as by then he was at least 62. Cordy and Vincent were each taxed as one white poll, and each had one cow or horse. In the census that year, Vincent was living nearby, age 20-30 in a separate household with a female of the same age (wife Patsy Ann Perkins) and three children under the age of five. Next door to Vincent lived Henry Thompson, apparent brother of Cordy’s bride Manerva Thompson, but Cordy was still unmarried in 1840 and living with his parents.
Lee County, Virginia, was divided into Part A and Part B for tax collection purposes by 1841, where Cordy and Vincent were listed but not taxed in Part A, but Moses’ name was not found in either part until 1842 when Cordy was taxed for himself and a horse or cow and Moses was in Part B, Irving’s district, as one white male but charged no tax. He appears, sometimes with and sometimes without the cow or horse until 1849, In that year, Moses was listed twice in District A, once as a white male over 16 taxed ten cents for one horse or cow, and an identical entry except no white male over 16 who was taxable, the latter probably an insolvents’ list. Even when they were charged no property tax, the boys [Vincent, Cordy, and grandson Sylvester Green]were listed as taxable white males over 16 liable for poll tax, but Moses was listed with no white males over 16, meaning none who were actually taxable and no tax for himself..
[Note: a man could be excused from poll tax while still having to pay property tax.]
In 1850, Moses was not found on any tax list, but was present in the federal census, living in the White Shoals township next door to Sylvester Green and Cordy’s families, with no land and a stated age of 70. Living in the household with Moses were Louisa J Pendergrass and a ten month old Moses Pendergrass. It is sincerely hoped, but not provable, that Louisa J Pendergrass was his daughter or granddaughter and not a second wife.
In 1852, the Lee County Overseers of the Poor met at the courthouse on the 14th of May and authorized a payment of ten dollars for medical services provided to Moses Pendergrass by Dr. Boyd Dickinson.101 Moses was not listed on any census record in 1860, but at some point before 1858 he had returned to Wythe County and was living at the poor farm there, The Wythe County poor farm, now in private hands, was comprised of several rows of concrete block duplexes with porches, each with a fireplace, and probably a more solid shelter than many of its residents had previously had. In front of the duplexes was a large house inhabited by the care-taking family with common areas for the residents to meet, and behind the duplexes were large fields where crops were grown by the residents as they were able, for their own consumption and for sale to support the farm.7T
Conditions at the Lee County Poorhouse at the time are unknown, but it is evident from the following 1861 entry,102 found along with the previous one by cousin Linda Gaylene Hagood (Giess), that Moses was there for a time:
To Isom W, Collyer as Treshure of the Board for the Benefit of the Overseers of the Poor of Wyth County for removing Moses Pendergrass from With County to the Poor house of this county........$24.00
Thomas L. Faning for 9 days sirvises.......................................................................................9.00
Same for holling Moses Pendergrass to Poor Hous.................................................................5.75
This entry is the last mention of Moses Pendergrass as yet located, and it is assumed that he died at the Lee County Poor Farm some time after 1861, though there is no entry in their records to pay for his coffin and no record of his death in the statewide index, which began in 1853.
G. Anney Pendergrass was born in Warren County, sometime roughly around 1782 and was left half her father’s goods and chattels in his 1794 will, but only after the death of her mother. It is not known where she and her mother Hannah were living after her mother was widowed, and there were no females of the right age to be either of them in the households of Anney’s brothers in the 1800 census. They remained in the area, though, as Anney was married on January 15th, 1805 to James Goodson in Wake County103 with Thomas Massey as bondsman. [7-U] James was born in January 1782 and was orphaned and apprenticed at age 15 to Robert Chamblee,104 a close neighbor of the Pendergrass family in Wake. The 1810 and 1820 Wake census records, which could have revealed so much about the couple, are missing, but James appears on a tax list near Anney’s brothers in 1810. In 1830 he was head of household in Little River District aged 40-49 with a white female in the same age bracket and a male and two females in the household, all aged 10-14. Whether the female was Anney cannot be determined since only the name of the head of household was given in 1830 and that was always the male of a married couple. Searches in public records have turned up no trace of this couple after 1830, and it is not known what happened to them. [It should be noted that the Anna Goodson on Mark’s Creek district in Wake, listed as head of household in 1850 and apparently with some unsavory professional activities later on, was far too old to have been Anney, daughter of “Wake” John.]
Tentatively placed as a possible child of James and Anney is a Cordy Goodson born about 1805 in the area where they were married. Cordy is an unusual first name for that time and place, and Anney had a nephew Cordy born to her brother Moses in 1819. Cordy Goodson married Priscilla Coley in June 1828 in Franklin County.105 In the 1830 census he was listed as 20-29 with two females of that age and two males under the age of five. Shortly thereafter, Cordy and Priscilla moved to Georgia and raised a family there.
Undetermined also is the identity of the James Goodson who died testate106 in 1869 Franklin County leaving his estate to his widow Martha, son William, and daughter Martha Goodson (Ayscue/Askew).
H. Raleigh Pendergrass [tentative] If “Wake” John and Hannah had a son Raleigh at all, he would most likely have been among their first children to be born. He has been been placed as their son in other works and hundreds of online trees solely because “Wake” John had at least two and probably three grandsons with that first name, and many of those trees not only have him born in 1760 but fighting in the Revolution and dying in 1761 - at one year old. Until recently, there was found no trace of a Raleigh of the right age to have been their son in the Sandy Creek area - no listing on tax lists before or after the Revolution, and no marriage or court record of any kind. However, it was lately discovered that for a survey done by Julius Nuckles, Junior, on 26 April 1780 for John Hawkins, Junior, on Sandy Creek at Thornton’s Mill Creek, a Rawley Pendergrass and Esraim Cogwell were the sworn chain carriers.107 [7-S]This puts some Raleigh Pendergrass squarely into the lap of the Sandy Creek group near Vicksboro, and even with close neighbor Esraim Cogwell whose relatives married Jesse Pendergrass descendants. Two questions then arise: what was his parentage and was he the same Raleigh who died in the Revolutionin 1781?
Only three Sandy Creek area Pendergrass men appear to have been of the right age to have had a son in the Revolution and, from his daughter’s Alabama probate records, Spencer did not have a son Raleigh. though a son who died unmarried and without issue might not have been mentioned.. Little is known about William and Mary’s family - whether William was John and Spencer’s father or older brother - but it is “Wake” John who provably had at least two and probably three grandsons named Raleigh.
There was a real Raleigh [Rawleigh, Rainleigh, Rolly] Pendergrass who was mentioned five times in revolutionary records - twice on muster rolls, twice as having received posthumous pay vouchers cashed by someone else (not uncommon), and once as having had a land grant issued to his unnamed heirs,108 who later sold it off in small pieces, still unnamed.109 Raleigh himself enlisted from Duplin County in 1781 and died of the flux a few months later in South Carolina during the War. Revolutionary Raleigh was listed in the general, statewide muster roll of the continental line,110, with no mention of his origin, and not listed with any other Pendergrasses or familiar neighbors. His death is described in the revolutionary pension application (W6364) of his comrade at arms, Joseph Vick:
“I was marched to the headquarters of General Greene’s Army on the South bank of the Congreve River. Within a week afterwards myself and two other soldiers, Rolly Pendergrass and Richd Tillery were attacked with the flux - we were moved to an offr [officer?] house - the other two died. I was confined first with the flux, and the fever and the ague, for six weeks. During the time of our indisposition and confinement, Genrl Greene fought the battle of the Eutaw Springs, This took place in August or September to the best of my recollection”
Raleigh died in 1781, apparently unmarried and intestate. Other than his revolutionary records, he appeared on no tax records, census records, court records, or other records that have yet come to light, and a cursory search of Duplin county records showed no Pendergrass family there at the right time.
Efforts to indentify the unnamed “heirs” (not “widow”) have so far yielded no results.
Normally, a young man living in Sandy Creek, Bute County, would have enlisted either in Halifax or possibly Hillsborough, not in Duplin County in Wilmington District several counties to the South. This is the primary argument against Revolutionary Raleigh’s having been “Wake” John and Hannah’s son. Although one could speculate that perhaps he headed (or was sent) south toward the area of greatest conflict or need, there is currently no real explanation as to why a Sandy Creek lad would have enlisted in Duplin County instead of nearby Halifax.
On the other hand, the average age of a revolutionary soldier was 17 or 18 years, and if the two Raleighs were the same person, his death in the revolution in 1781 would explain why he was never on Bute or Warren County tax rolls before enlisting in 1781 (not yet 21) or thereafter (deceased) or on any other non-military record except for carrying the 1780 survey chain (usually the work of a young man or teenager.) There is no marriage record for a Sandy Creek Raleigh, and Revolutionary Raleigh died unmarried, according to his posthumous land grant. One must question the probability of there having been two young men in central North Carolina of about the same age with the then unusual name of Raleigh Pendergrass, and factor in the provable fact that “Wake” John and Hannah had at least two and probably three grandsons with that name, through sons born at the rght time to have been revolutionary Raleigh’s brothers, and must ask oneself why that particular first name was passed down through so many generations of “Wake” John’s descendants with such unusual frequency.
In short, other than the first name Raleigh, there is currently no provable connection between Duplin County Revolutionary Raleigh and any of the North Carolina Pendergrass groups, but based on the circumstantial evidence, he is tentatively placed here as a probable son of “Wake” John and Hannah.
I. Descendants Report:
[A note about births, deaths, jobs, and county lines: As mentioned before, the Pendergrasses were inclined to settle on county lines, so that the Sandy Creek group in Warren County, for example, might have lived in Warren or Franklin but have sought the nearest medical help in Henderson, Vance County, or Raleigh in Wake. Similarly, the later Owsley/Lee County group in eastern Kentucky lists deaths in Fayette County, where Lexington hospitals and nursing homes were located. Additionally, many people in eastern Kentucky, who no longer wanted to farm for subsistence, headed to Dayton, Hamilton and Cincinnati, Ohio to work in the paper mills and other industries there because there was no employment to be had in Owsley, the poorest county in the continental United States. Some of these families relocated permanently to Ohio, but many came home to retire or to be buried in their family cemeteries.
It should also be noted that birth years are approximate in many cases because of discrepancies between different years’ census records, inaccurate estimation by other family members, and even prevarication by those who wanted to appear older or younger than they actually were. Because of the way census questions were worded and the length of time it took to canvass door to door, a two year difference in age was almost routine. Occasionally, the birth year engraved on a headstone is belied by that person’s having been listed in a census record before that date. Also, it was very common in the days before more official records for a child who was given a first and middle name at birth later to reverse the order of given names or change them altogether, or to use a nickname completely unrelated to his or her official name. Therefore, the reader is cautioned that information presented here is based as accurately as possible on real documents, with preference given to those prepared closest in time to the event itself. However, perfection is unattainable.
Several cousins have requested that unfortunate former marriages be deleted (would that we could) or, purely from motives of affection, that adopted or stepchildren be listed as biological children. This is, however, the genealogy of a real family, which, like all families has its secrets and intricacies. Future generations will be utilizing ever more accurate genetic analysis, and will be seeking a truthful family history, so with as much tact as possible, the facts must be presented here just as they are found in the historical documents.
Much credit and gratitude is due to the many living Sandy Creek descendants of “Wake” John and Hannah Pendergrass, in particular Charles Pendergrass, Gary Dean Allen, Betty Pendergrass (Velazquez), Nancy Thompson (Woody), Joyce Pendergrass (Atchison), Sandra “Faye” Ball (Orr), Cyrstal Reavis (Matthews), and most especially Peggy Rose Lassiter (Jones) for sharing photographs and information to aid in sorting out the modern Jesse descendants born too late to be in open public records. Great reliance has been placed on the information they have generously provided about their inter-tangled Vicksboro area North Carolina families.
Much credit is also due to Bennet George, Solomon descendant, for his contributions and sharp analysis, to my father, James Paul Pendergrass for accurately documenting the Cordy descendants to 1975, and to Jennifer Willhite (Keel) for solving the intriguing eighty year old mystery of the biological parentage of Blanche Pendergrass (Evans), first known as Alberta Marshall Scott. Most recently, credit is due to first cousin Alan Cordy Pendergrass for DNA information leading to the startling discovery that our great-grandfather Daniel Boone Carter Pendergrass fathered a child with a young neighbor, Melvina Burns, on a train to Virginia when he was only 15 [see addendum to descendants 1, below] and, less startling, that our grandfather George Sr apparently engendered an out of wedlock child during his first marriage. [see addendum to descendants II, below]
Sadly, space did not permit listing the biographies, military histories, or photographs of very many individuals. Every effort has been made to include the oldest photographs of those from whom the most descendants have sprung or group family photographs that include the most people in one place at one time. Likewise, there was no space to include all the fascinating historical documents that still exist about our family, so only the most pivotal have been included.
Descendants of “Wake” JOHN PENDERGRASS and HANNAH UNKNOWN
__________Generation 1__________
1. JOHN1 PENDERGRASS was born about 1730-1735 and it isn’t known where. (Birth year is estimated from tax records, birth year of son Solomon given as 1760, and the marriage of son, Jesse, in 1784). John was last taxed of record in Warren County in 1785 as one poll, and when next found on tax lists in Wake in 1792 and 1793 he was listed as no poll, so he was exempted. There was no set age for exemption in 1794 but it became age fifty by law in 1801. He died in Wake County, North Carolina between signing his deathbed will with his mark on April 17th, 1794 and fall term of court in September of that year. He married HANNAH “HANNER” UNKNOWN (not Grady) who was born sometime around 1732-35 (based on last child born about 1782, and average menopause at about age 50). She died sometime after 1802 when she signed a deed out for fifty acres of land to Martha Burns with sons Moses and Solomon.
JOHN PENDERGRASS and HANNAH “Hanner” UNKNOWN had the following children:
1.1. SOLOMON2 PENDERGRASS was born about 1760 in Granville/Bute/Warren County, North Carolina and died after 1850 in Franklin County, North Carolina. Although some have assumed the maiden name of “Wright” for his wife from the first name of one of his sons, the identity of his wife or wives is unknown.
1.2. JESSE PENDERGRASS was born about 1763/4 in Granville/Bute/Warren Co, North Carolina, and died before 1830 in Warren County, as his widow was head of household in the 1830 census. He was married on 8 August 1784 in Warren County to Rachel Vigors who was born about 1765, her estimated birth year based on census records and date of marriage and births of her children. She died after 1840 when she was last listed on the census as head of household.
1.3. “BUNCOMBE” JOHN PENDERGRASS [Tentative] was born about 1768 in North Carolina. [placed here solely for further discussion in section 6E. Hss numerous descendants are outlined in Chapter 11]
1.4. NIMROD PENDERGRASS [Speculative] was born about 1769 in North Carolina and died after 1850, [tentatively placed here solely subject to further discussion in Chapter 6E. He is not the same Nimrod who was born to “Bob’s John” Pendergrass and Margaret Pownall. His few known descendants are listed below since he was living near Spencer’s sons in Iredell County, but is known not to have been one.]
1.5. BENJAMIN PENDERGRASS was born about 1770 in Bute/Warren County, North Carolina, He died after 1840 in Rush County, Indiana. (If this is the correct Benjamin, who died from a horse injury, then someone made a great error in his age, as he was born by 1770 and could not have been only 44 in 1850 in the mortality list.) He married Amy Massey, daughter of Hezekiah Massey and Nancy Unknown, about 1792/5 in Wake County.. (1826 will of Hezekiah Massey left a slave to granddaughter Massey Pendergrass, daughter of Benjamin Pendergrass.). Amy was born about 1770 in the Warren/Wake County area of North Carolina and contrary to online trees, was Benjamin’s only known wife.
1.6. MOSES PENDERGRASS was born before 1778 in Warren County, North Carolina. (Birth year 1775-1778 extrapolated from first known appearance on tax list as land owner of 50 acres in 1799, and under 25 in 1800 census.). He married Nancy Wheeler (not daughter of Benjamin as has been written elsewhere) 11 January 1800 in Wake (Thomas Wheeler, bondsman, Lewis Greene, witness.). She was born about 1780,. and died between 1840-1850 in Lee County, Virginia. Moses died after 1861 in or near the Lee County, Virginia poorhouse. John Wheeler was the likeliest candidate for Nancy’s unproven father.
1.7. ANNEY PENDERGRASS was born about 1782/5 in Warren County, North Carolina and married James Goodson, son of [William?] Goodson, on 15 January 1805 in Wake, North Carolina. He was born about January 1782 in or near Wake County, North Carolina. (James’ birth calculated from the apprentice bond in which he was bound out to a Chamblee neighbor).
1.8.` RALEIGH PENDERGRASS [Speculative] born around.1762, who may or may not have been the Raleigh who carried the survey chain in 1780 and/or died unmarried in the Revolution in 1781. [see above for discussion]
__________Generation 2__________
1.1. SOLOMON2 PENDERGRASS (JOHN1),born about 1760 in Warren, (Granville/Bute/Franklin) died after 1850.
Solomon Pendergrass and his Unknown Wife had the following children:
1.1.1. BENNETT3 PENDERGRASS was born about 1791 in Wake County, North Carolina and died there after 1867. He married Aquilla “Quilly” Medlin (born about 1800 in Wake) on 5 December 1817 in Wake County,.
1.1.2. MILLY PENDERERGRASS [tentative] was born about 1796 in Wake County, and married Jacob Bunn there 27 March 1827. She is placed as a daughter of Solomon because he was the only one of the brothers still living there in 1827.
1.1.3. EDY PENDERGRASS [tentative] was born about 1798 in Wake County, and married Edward Harris there on 17 January 1822. She is placed here as a daughter of Solomon but could as easily have been a daughter of Moses, who was still in Wake until 1825.
1.1.4. BARSHEBA PENDERGRASS [tentative] born 18 September 1798 in North Carolina, died after 1860 in Wake County. She married Reuben Sanders Amos there on 29 November 1816. He was born 22 March 1782 in North Carolina and died after 1860 in Wake. Barsheba could have been a daughter of Benjamin’s who had married just before Benjamin left for Wilkes County with his family, or a daughter of Jesse, but is placed here as a daughter of Solomon because he was the only son of “Wake” John still there at the right time, and because in the 1840 Little River district, Sanders Amos, Barsheba and their children were living next door to Solomon’s son Bennett Pendergrass, after whom Barsheba apparently named a child.
1.1.5. WRIGHT PENDERGRASS was born about 1802 in Wake County, (based on later census record and paying tax in 1823). He married Lowery/Lorinda Alford there on 17 July 1830. (B S King, Clerk, witness, Acril (X) Griffin, bondsman). Lowery [Lori] was born there about 1810. .[Note: Lodowick/Ludwig Alford was the first Alford into old Granville County]
1.1.6. PENELOPE “PENNY” PENDERGRASS was born in 1805 in Wake County and married Henry Bunn there on 15 August 1815. He was born about 1792 in North Carolina, where a large family of Bunns populated the northeast corner of Wake County.. Her father Solomon was living with her at stated age 90 in the 1850 census of Dunn District, Franklin County.
1.1.7. MARY “POLLY” PENDERGRASS [tentative] was born about 1805 in Wake County, and married Richard Medlin, born about 1795 in Franklin County and died in Wake in 1838. She could have been daughter of a different brother.
1.2. JESSE2 PENDERGRASS (JOHN1) was born about 1763/4 in Granville/Bute/Warren County, North Carolina. and died before 1830 in Warren County, North Carolina, leaving widow Rachel Virgors, who died after the 1840 census.
Jesse Pendergrass and Rachel Vigors had the following children:
1.2.1. ISAAC (JOHN?)3 PENDERGRASS was born about 1787 in Warren County, North Carolina and died there after 1870. (did not appear in 1880 census). He married Elizabeth Cogwell, daughter of Esrom Cogwell, on 29 October 1806 in Franklin County. She was born about 1788 in North Carolina. In one census, only,, he was listed as John.
1.2.2. DANIEL PENDERGRASS was born in 1788 and died by 1837. He married (1) Nancy Weldon on 8 Jan 1821 in Wake, with his brother Isaac as his bondman, and (2)Polly Dickerson there on 20 May 1822, with John Askew as bondsman. It is not known why he married twice in under 18 months, but he is the only Daniel on tax or other records in the area at the time. Only one of his apparent four sons, Jesse G/C, has been identified as yet, and Jesse G/C seems to be the issue of the first brief marriage, but this is not certain.
1.2.3. JESSE PENDERGRASS [Jr] was born about 1800 according to unverified tradition, but no records about him have been located.
1.2.4. NANCY PENDERGRASS, born about 1802, married Thomas Cogwell on 5 March 1817 in Franklin County.,
1.2.5. RALEIGH PENDERGRASS [7-G]was born about 1803 in North Carolina, and died after 1870. He married Susan Nuckles who was born in 1804.[7-J]
1.2.6. RICHARD PENDERGRASS was born in 1806 in Warren County, and married Nancy Morgan on 26 December 1827 in Franklin County,. .
1.2.7. AUDREY/ALICE “ALSEY” PENDERGRASS was born about 1806 in North Carolina and married Isham E Dickerson on 23 December 1821 in Franklin County,.(Bondsman: Daniel Pendergrass). Isham was born about 1798 in Warren/Franklin, North Carolina. It has been assumed elsewhere that Audrey was Daniel’s daughter because he stood as bondsman for the marriage, but Daniel, born in 1788, would have been too young to have had a daughter of marriageable age by 1821 and in fact did not himself marry until January of that year.
1.3 “BUNCOMBE” JOHN PENDERGRASS, (JOHN1??) born 1768 married Elizabeth “Betsy” Oliver, daughter of Benjamin and Elizabeth.[see further discussion in Chapter 6-D as to why he is tentatively placed here and Chapter 8 for his numerous descendants]
1.4. NIMROD2 PENDERGRASS (John1??) was born about 1769 in North Carolina, . He died after the 1850 Iredell County, North Carolina census, where he was listed as living with his son John and family. [see further discussion in Chapter 6-E as to why he is tentatively placed here with his few descendants].
Nimrod Pendergrass and Unknown Wife had the following children:
1.4.1. WARREN3 PENDERGRASS was born in 1797 in Rowan County, North Carolina and died on 4 March1843 in Iredell County, North Carolina. He married Nancy MacClean, who was born about 1799 in North Carolina.
1.4.2. JOHN PENDERGRASS was born about 1799 in North Carolina and married Jane Unknown, who was born about 1803 in North Carolina.
1.4.3. S HOUSTON PENDERGRASS [female[ was born about 1800 in Iredell County, North Carolina.
1.5. BENJAMIN2 PENDERGRASS (JOHN1) was born about 1770 in Bute/Warren County, and died after 1840 in Rush County, Indiana. He married Amy Massey, daughter of Hezekiah Massey and Nancy Unknown, about 1790 in Wake County. Amy was born about 1770 and died after 1815.[7-Q] Her father Hezekiah devised a slave to granddaughter Massey Pendergrass, daughter of Benjamin, in his 1826 will. The 1850 Randolph County, Indiana mortality schedule lists the death that year of a Benjamin Pendergrass from an injury by a horse, but this deceased Benjamin’ age was given as 44 and in that year Wake County Benjamin would have been closer to 84 than 44, an unmistakable difference. Therefore, it is unknown whether the listed age was a clerical error or if it was a different Benjamin Pendergrass who died. [7-V]
Benjamin Pendergrass and Amy Massey had at least the following children:
1.5.1. CLARISSA “CLARY”3 PENDERGRASS was born about 1791 in Wake County, and married (1) James Bolton there on 11 February 1809. (Benjamin Pendergrass, Bondsman). She married (2) Richard Chamblee on 19 July 1815 in Wake, (Benjamin Pendergrass, Bondsman). Richard was born about 1787 in North Carolina and the Chamblees were very close neighbors of the Pendergrass family in Wake.
1.5.2. RALEIGH PENDERGRASS was born about 1792 in Wake County, North Carolina,and died after 1880 in Lovelace, Wilkes, North Carolina, . He married Sarah “Sally” Horton on 18 June 1814 in Wake County,.(Benjamin Pendergrass, bondsman). She was born about 1792 in Wake County, and both their birth counties were listed as Wake in the 1850 Wilkes County census.
1.5.3. MARTHA “PATSY” PENDERGRASS [?] was born about 1808 in North Carolina and married William Horton on 24 January 1824 in Wilkes County,,North Carolina. He was born in North Carolina about 1784. Martha is placed here because there was no other Pendergrass couple in Wilkes County old enough to have had a daughter marry by 1824. Additionally, Raleigh, son of Benjamin, had married Sally Horton in Wake County before the move to Wilkes.
1.5.4. BAILEY PENDERGRASS was born about 1810 in Wake County, North Carolina and married on 22 April 1836 in Wilkes County, North Carolina, Ruth Rash, who was born about 1811 in North Carolina.
1.5.5. MASSEY PENDERGRASS was born on 30 May 1815 in Wake or Wilkes County, North Carolina and died on 3 November 1900 in Indiana. She married (1) William Sitton and later (2) John H Apple on 25 September 1850 in Hancock County, Indiana. He was born about 1808 in Ohio and died on 2 May 1876. Massey was willed a slave in her grandfather Hezekiah Massey’s 1826 Wake County, will, which identified her as the daughter of Benjamin Pendergrass, and she listed her parents as Benjamin and Amy in a Quaker record in Indiana. [7-Q] Benjamin was never taxed for any slaves, the Pendergrasses in the “Wake” John branch did not hold slaves, and Quakers certainly did not by that time, so it is unknown what happened to the slave who was devised to Massey, but in any event, Massey was no longer in Wake County. Attempts elsewhere to replace her mother Amy Massey with a Bailey-surnamed “second” wife are laid to rest by the fact that Massey was Benjamin’s youngest known child and was born several years after Bailey.
1.6. MOSES2 PENDERGRASS (JOHN1) [7-DD], born before 1778 in Bute/Warren County, died after 1861 in Lee County, Virginia. He married Nancy Wheeler, who was born about 1780 in or near Wake County(?) North Carolina and died between 1840-1850 in Lee County, Virginia, The most likely candidate for Nancy’s father was John Wheeler, not Benjamin Wheeler.
Moses Pendergrass and Nancy Wheeler had the following children:
1.6.1. AARON3 PENDERGRASS was born about 1801 in Wake County, North Carolina and died some time after the 1840 Pleasant Township, Brown County, Ohio, census. He married Willey (not Milly) Perry. on 15 March 1823 in Wake County, North Carolina with his father Moses as bondsman. Willey Perry was born about 1801 in the Wake County area of North Carolina, When Moses, Nancy and the rest of the family relocated to Wythe County, Virginia in 1825, Aaron first appeared in the 1830 census in Washington County, which at that time was adjacent to Wythe, as a white male 20-29 years of age, with a white female in the same age bracket, a white female 5-9, a white female under 5 and a white male under 5. In the 1830 property tax list for Washington County, he was listed as one white male, head of household, over the age of 16 and taxed 8 cents for one horse or cow, and in 1831 he was on the same list in the same county but had no horse or cow and was assessed no tax. There were no other Pendergrass heads of household in Washington County in those years. In 1832 and 1833, Aaron was listed on the same tax list (T. Sanders’) in Wythe County as Moses, Ransom and Vincent, with only himself, one white male over 16. By 1840, Aaron and family were found on the Pleasant Township, Brown County, Ohio, census with Aaron as one white male head of Household, 40-49 and a white female 30-39, and seven white persons aged 19 or under.
A diligent search of Brown County, Ohio census records in 1850 found no Pendergrass by any spelling, though other Ohio records such as tax lists and court minutes were impractical to search due to distance. In 1850 and 1860, no Pendergrass by any spelling appeared on a census list in Brown County, Ohio, or, for that matter, the entire state of Ohio. The lack of any first names for their presumed children prohibits a search for their marriage or death records, but the complete lack of mentions for any Pendergrass (or qualifying Aaron) in Ohio or anywhere in the United States for any Aaron or Willey Pendergrass in 1850 might mean any number of things - that the whole family moved somewhere the census hadn’t reached, that Aaron changed his name or died and Willey remarried and/or took the remaining children into another state or marriage, or, for all that is provable, the entire family simply evaporated without a trace. It is hoped that an Aaron descendant will one day locate this family.
1.6.2. RANSOM PENDERGRASS was born about 1801 in Wake County, North Carolina and died after 1880 in Greene County, Alabama. On December 1, 1824 in Wake County, North Carolina, he married (1) Milly Perry [7-W](born about 1801 in the Wake County area and died before 1836) and on 16 January 1837 in Greene County, Alabama, he married (2) Elizabeth Ann Ridgeway, who was born about 1820 in Georgia, daughter of Burrell, [7-X] Other researchers have mistaken Ransom for his first cousin Raleigh (son of Benjamin) and have sent him off to Wilkes County, sometimes even having him born there, but a thorough search of Wilkes County records from its inception to the 1850s turns up no trace of Ransom there. Apparently the original mistake was a simple confusion in the Allen Pendergraft book of two names starting with the same letter and that mistake was then given a life of its own on the internet. Ransom was still firmly in place with his parents in Wake until his marriage there in 1825 and if he did not travel to Wythe County, Virginia together with his parents and siblings, he joined them there shortly afterward, appearing on tax lists consistently. He was listed on a Wake County tax list in 1826 but with no indication that he was still there to pay the assessment.
Although he was not found as a head of household on the 1830 census list in any county, Ransom was on the Wythe County tax lists of T Sanders, as head of household and taxed for one white male over the age of 16 with one cow or horse, in each year from 1827 to 1833.
In October, 1832, Ransom’s youngest brother Cordy, age 12, and Ransom’s son (Sylvester) Green, age 7, were in a published list of “The Lost Children of Wythe County, Virginia, 1790 to 1878”, as poor school children receiving state sponsored education. Cordy was listed as a child of Moses, and Green as a child of Ransom, but in the next mention in 1839, Green, 12, Frances, 11, and Julia, 9, were all listed as children of Moses. [Cousin Daniel Boone Pendergrass III made this informative find]
On 12 August of 1833, “ Stephen S Crockett, a constable in the first district in this county, came into court and resigning his said office, and therefore the Court proceeded to an election to fill the said vacancy, when Ransom Pendergrass having received the votes of all the justices present given viva voce in open court was declared duly elected, the Court being of opinion that he is a man of honesty, probity and good demeanor, and the said Ransom Pendergrass took the several oaths declared by law and with Leonard Straw and Stephen S Crockett his securities entered into and acknowledged a bond in the penalty of $2,000 conditioned as the law directs. The votes given in the above election were polled as follows: For Ransom Pendergrass: John Stanger, Randolph Fugate, Casper Yost, Robert Crockett, Robert Sayers.”
In that same year, Ransom abruptly and completely disappeared from Wythe County with no explanation for his absence found, and no record of the Court’s filling the constable vacancy that he left behind. Also left behind with his parents were at least one child, Sylvester “Green”, and likely two daughters.
Divorce not having been an option in 1833, Ransom’s wife Milly Perry had likely died by the time of his departure from Wythe County, at least by 1836, though no record of her death or the cause of it is extant, because the next mention of Ransom is the record of his second marriage in Alabama.
On 16 January, 1837, Ransom was married to Elizabeth Ann Ridgeway,7U twenty years younger, daughter of Burrell/Burwell, in Greene County, Alabama, and in some way acquired a large tract of land there.7V
On 26 May 1842, in the Middle District Court of Alabama, Ransom declared himself bankrupt and the clerk of court published a notice to creditors to file by November in Tuskaloosa any claims they had.
As a constable, Ransom was required to be able to read and write, and the Ransom who appeared in the 1850 census of Greene County was 50 years old, exactly Wake and Wythe County Ransom’s age, and was literate. His second wife was 30 years old in 1850, so only 17 at the time of their marriage, while Ransom at 37 was 20 years her senior.
The 1850 Alabama state census is in accordance with the household’s makeup in the 1850 federal census, and the family members were clearly listed in the 1850 census: Ransom, born in North Carolina, Elizabeth in Georgia, and all the children in Alabama; Martha J, born 1838, Julia A, born 1840, Dicia/Daisy A, born 1842, Mary J, born 1844, Theodore F, born 1845, and Josephine born 1847, but in 1860 the census taker made such a hash of the family that one would like to reach back in time and shake him until his teeth rattled. A painstaking and tedious reconstruction from prior and later records was necessary to untangle the incorrect initials and garbled ages to determine who the parties in the household actually were, as Ransom was listed only as the initial “B” with an inaccurate age of 45, and Elizabeth as only “C”, age 43. It is only the initials and approximate ages of the children which make it possible to identify this family at all in 1860.
In 1853, when Ransom and Elizabeth had been married about sixteen years and her father Burrell Ridgeway had died, Ransom and Elizabeth executed this highly unusual and rather humiliating document:
R. Pendergrass to deed in trust B. T. Higginbotham
This Indenture made and entered into this 24th day of March A.D. 1853 by and between Ransom Pendergrass party of the first part Elizabeth Ann Pendergrass his wife party of the second part and Benjamin T Higginbotham party of the third part, All of the County of Green and State of Alabama witnesseth that whereas the said Elizabeth Ann as one of thee heirs at Law & distribution of the Estate of her father the late Burrell Ridgeway dec’d has received from the said Benjamin administrator of the [late?] Said Burrell Ridgeway the sum of two hundred and fifteen 28/100 Dollars as will fully reference to the record of the final settlement of said Estate and whereas the said Ransom Pendergrass who is by law authorized to receive And use the said monies as the trustee of his said wife is a man of improvident and intemperate habits and is also in embarrassed circumstances and unable to secure the said monies to his said wife except in the manner herein after provided and the said Elizabeth Ann being unwilling to allow him to use the said monies unless he shall satisfactorily secure and indemnify her in the premises and the said Ransom having also agreed to secure and protect the interest of his said wife as a conveyance of land as hereinafter described which land is now subject to certain levies and trust but which the said Pendergrass agrees to pay and discharge in full now therefore this indenture by and between the said parties witnesseth that for and in consideration of the promises and the sum of two hundred and fifteen 35/100 dollars to him in hand paid by the said Benjamin Higginbotham the receipt whereof is hereby acknowledged he the said Ransom Pendergrass has given granted bargained sold and conveyed and by these presents doth give grant bargain sell and convey unto the said Benjamin Higginbotham his heirs and assigns the following tract or parcel of land to wit: 27 acres of the South East corner of Section 19 18 1/2 1/2 acres in the South west corner of section twenty the northeast quarter of the North west quarter of section 29 and the East half of the North East quarter of section 30 all in township 23 of Range 2 East situate and lying in the county of Green and state of Alabama to have and to hold the said tracts and parcels of land unto him and his heirs and assigns and unto his and their own ___?

Signed sealed and delivered in the presence of William P Webb
R Pendergrass (seal)
Benjamin T. Higginbotham (seal)
Elizabeth Ann Pendergrass (seal)
Note that this indenture specifies “her” children, at least hinting that Ransom had others. [Cousin Linda Galene Hagood (Giess) discovered this fascinating document]
By the 1870 census, Ransom had no listed wife, and his last child with Elizabeth was born in August 1861 when she was about 41. Daughter Julia A was keeping house for the family, with Ida E at home, the younger children in school, and as a separate household within his, their widowed daughter, listed variously as Dicia, Dicey, and Daisy, was listed as Dilly Kelly in 1870 with her son Leonard or Lemuel Kelly [Jr]. On 17 September 1860 there was a marriage recorded in Greene County for a Daisay Pendergrass and a Lemuel H Kelly and there is a Confederate service record for a Lemuel H Kelly, Pvt. Co C, 11th Alabama Infantry, who was wounded in the head at the battle of Salem Church, Virginia on May 3rd, 1863, and died shortly afterward.
Ransom did not hold slaves himself, and when he entered into a contract to rent one, Benjamin T Higginbotham had to act as security for the payment, guaranteeing his own repayment by a lien on Ransom and Elizabeth’s crops:
19 September 1854, Ransom and Elizabeth “hired a negro boy from Bynum Colvin for $95.00” and
“Benjamin T Higginbotham having signed as a note security for the said Pendergrass’ for the hire of said slave to work on their land” Benjamin T Higginbotham secured a lien on “all the Pendergrass’ crop of cotton, corn and other things planted, grown, raised and gathered on the tract of land on which they now reside”.
The following year in August, Ransom again mortgaged his crop of cotton and corn for debts he had incurred, primarily for food and supplies, and had only partly repaid.
The 1870 Greene County federal census logically shows a large number of closely neighboring free black families who were not individually named in 1860. There is extant a local census of black and white residents of the area which is too fragile to be copied and which, due to a great deal of overwriting and scratching out of headings, appeared inaccurately to list Ransom and family as black, causing them to be categorized as such on websites devoted to newly freed black families. Comparison of numerous census and other records reveals that although there were black and mixed-race individuals in other branches of “Wake” John’s descendants, Ransom and his family were listed as white in all other records.
Ransom was still living in 1880 and listed in the census of Greene County as a widowed, literate farmer born about 1802 in North Carolina and the household consisted of son Stephen and daughter Isabelle, both single, and as close neighbors William Pendergrass, a farmer with a check in the “married” column but no family with him, and Ransom’s widowed daughter Dicia/Daisey Kelly, her son Lemuel and her young niece and nephew with the surname Qualls.
It is clear from the records that despite his bad habits and debts, all Ransom’s Alabama children received enough education to be able to read and write.
The date and circumstances of Ransom’s death are not known, and although he owned land and other property, no will or probate administration, has been found, and his grave has not been located.
1.6.3. VINCENT PENDERGRASS was born about 1806 in Wake Co, North Carolina,and died after 1870 in Lee County, Virginia, . He married Patsey Ann “Anna” Perkins about 1834 in Wythe County, Virginia, (date extrapolated from ages of children in the 1840 census and marriage itself confirmed by marriage and death records of their children). She was born about 1803 in Wythe County, Virginia. Vincent was about 19 years old when the family moved from Wake to Wythe in 1825 and first appeared of record on a Wythe County tax list with Moses and Ransom in 1827, as one white male over 16 on TSanders tax list. In 1827, 1828 and 1829, his first name was mistakenly written and recopied as “Winston” by one tax list maker, but this was corrected to Vincent in 1830. In 1827, Vincent had no taxable property, but by 1829 had acquired and was taxed for one horse, cow, or ass. He appeared consistently on tax lists in Wythe County each year through 1839, sometimes adding or losing a horse or cow. and always on the same list as his father. The tax for one horse, cow,or ass was 8 cents in 1839. He was not listed as an independent head of household in the 1830 census but a white male of his age was in the household of Moses.
In 1840, Vincent’s parents, his younger brother Cordy and his nephew Sylvester “Green” Pendergrass and their families had all moved to Lee County, Virginia, the furthest county to the southwest of the state, near Cumberland Gap. From later events, it seems likely that at least one unnamed sister had married and stayed behind in Wythe County. Vincent, his father Moses, and brother Cordy were named as taxables on Alex Irving’s Lee County list in 1840 and in the census of that year, Vincent was head of household, born 1810-1820, with a white female in the same age bracket, and a boy and two girls under the age of 5. He appeared on tax lists and census records in the same district as the others from 1840 forward except his name was omitted in 1843 and 1844 without explanation. In 1840, Vincent was living next door to James Thompson, who had a daughter of the right age to have been the Manerva Thompson who married Vincent’s brother Cordy and whose father’s name is known to have been James..
In the 1850 Lee County census, Vincent reported that he was an illiterate 35 year old farmer born in North Carolina, with wife [Patsy] Ann the same age and also illiterate, born in Virginia, and their children Catherine, Julianne, Alexander, Louisa, Martha, and twins Ira [Bradley] and Sarah. In 1851, he bought 50 acres of land near Wallen’s Ridge from Jacob M Poteete, near and from the same seller as the land his brother Cordy bought, and in November 1859 this land was sold to James Worley with a waiver of dower by Vincent’s wife Ann..
Neither Vincent nor Moses can be found in the 1860 census anywhere in Virginia, though both were still in the state. Since Vincent was in court records in Lee County that year, it is evidently the census record that is missing rather than himself. In March of that year, Vincent was sued by Levan Quillen for debt and a judgment was entered against him for $5.675 with interest and costs, and he was sued again in August by James Cheek for $10.62 with interest since 12 October 1859. Years later, the clerk noted, “James Cheek has delivered to Alexd. Pendergrass , George Hackman’s receipt for the collection of same, which I hold in my hand while writing this statement, Jan 4th 1870, H. J. Morgan” [Note: A Cheek family had lived near the Sandy Creek Pendergrasses in Warren County, North Carolina] Also in 1860, Vincent (X) Pendergrass entered a deed of trust to HCT Richmond on 30 June for 1 white cow with blue head and spots on body and calf, one white yearlin w/red head and neck, three beds, bedding, farming tools, 2 ploughs, 1 set geers, all household and kitchen furniture, 1/3 of his interest in 24 acres of corn growing in Mr. Sharp’s fields, for two judgments for $37.54.
In the ensuing years, Vincent and Patsy Ann’s daughters grew up and married: J. A. and Francis A in 1861, Martha J in 1866, and S. E. P, in 1873. In 1869, Vincent was sued by Lane, Conk and Co. for $15.95 from August 1st, 1854 with credit for $13.00 paid Dec 1, 1854 and on Dec 4th 1869 satisfied.
In the 1870 White Shoals township Lee County census, Vincent and wife [Patsy]Anne each were listed as 67 years of age, and Vincent’s place of birth has been indexed online as Markasian, Virginia, but the document actually says “Unknown”, indicating that someone other than Vincent or Anna answered the census taker’s questions. Living in the household with them was daughter Sarah, who did not marry until 1873 and son John, 17 in 1870, and a six year old boy named William Duff whose relationship was not stated.
Vincent has not been located in records after 1873 and although official recording of deaths was required by 1853 in Virginia, no record of his death or estate disposition has been located.
1.6.4. DAUGHTER PENDERGRASS ??? was born between 1810-1815 in North Carolina, .
1.6.5. DAUGHTER PENDERGRASS ??? was born between 1815-1820 in North Carolina, .
1.6.6. REV. CORDY PENDERGRASS [7-JJ] was born 29 December 1819 in Wake County, North Carolina, and died on 19 April 1898 in Levi, Owsley County, Kentucky at age 78. He married Manerva Thompson, daughter of James Thompson and Agnes Merritt/Steel[?], who was born on 25 November 1825 in Lee County, Virginia, and died on 8 August 1907 in Levi, Owsley County, Kentucky, Both are buried in the Pendergrass Cemetery Cordy created near the Levi curve at the Lee and Owsley County line. [7-HH] [7-EE]
In 1825, at about age 6, Cordy relocated with his parents from Wake County, North Carolina to Wythe County, Virginia and was fortunate to have benefitted from a Virginia state literacy program which sponsored the education of poor children. On October 12, 1832, he was listed on the Wythe County roll of poor school children as a child of Moses Pendergrass, his age given as 12, consistent with his known birth at the end of 1819. It is not known how many years of schooling he received but in July 1839, his nephew Green and his nieces [or sisters] Frances and Julia Ann, all listed as children of Moses, were still enrolled but Cordy was not. In fact, 1839 was the first year in which Cordy was listed as an adult taxable male in Jos. J. Graham’s district, but with no property and therefore no tax. By 1840, he had moved with the others of his family to Lee County, Virginia and had acquired a horse or cow, From 1840 to 1850, Cordy was listed consistently on the tax rolls each year as one free white poll, and usually with a horse or cow.
On 20 December 1847, Cordy bought 65 acres of land from Jacob M and Cynthia Poteet for $300.00 “on the S bank of Powell’s River, N30W18 up sd river to a sycamore stump, a little below the horse ford, thence south to trees and along a hollow to two buckeyes, adj. land on which Poteet now lives, dividing the spring equally between them, on top of Wallen’s Ridge”
In the 1850 census, Cordy was listed as a literate white male farmer born in North Carolina in about 1820 [December 1819] with wife Manerva [Thompson] born about 1824 [November 1825] in Virginia and unable to read or write, with children Elizabeth, Moses, Mary A, Martha J, and Benjamin H [later F], Though no record of their marriage has been found, since their first child was born about 1841, their extrapolated marriage date was about 1839/40. In 1851, Cordy and Manerva bought more land from the Poteets adjacent to the land they already had and in 1853 Cordy executed a mortgage for 114 acres to John J Carroll for a token one dollar.
In 1852, the Moses Pendergrass who was listed as 7 years old in the household in the 1850 Lee County, Virginia census was noted as deceased in the family Bible,[7-FF] and did not appear with the family in the 1860 census, enforcing his identity as Cordy and Manerva’s child rather than of Cordy’s father Moses, who was still living in the Lee County, Virginia poorhouse as late as 1861. It is not known what caused the untimely death of the child Moses at the age of nine.
In 1853, it became mandatory to record births, deaths, and marriages in Virginia and Cordy recorded the births of their son Washington R Pendergrass [later Washington or William Boren] on 9 June 1853 and Daniel B, born May 12 1857. Cordy’s family Bible also recorded his parents as Moses and Nancy Pendergrass, and the births of all his known children, along with some of their deaths and marriages.[7-FF]
On July 19th 1858, Cordy for $1200.00 sold to Robert Travis, and Manerva [as Minerva] waived her dower in land described as “south of Powell’s River, beg. at a beech tree on the bank of Powell’s River thence easterly with meanderings [trees] to Top of Wallen’s Ridge to a stake with Miller’s line. Cordy stated, “I, Cordy Pendergrass, am seized of good and indefeasible estate of inheritance therein”.[7-EE] He signed his name in full.
It is not known what Cordy was doing for a living during this time, or how the acreage he owned was used. Family tradition states that he was a Methodist Circuit Rider, but in general such circuit riders were single men. What is certain is that he was a documented Methodist minister and that he had taken his family into Owsley County, Kentucky in time for the 1860 census. Cordy and Manerva set up housekeeping there near the Levi curve on what is now highway 11 near the Owsley County/ Lee County Kentucky line. At one point they had a small frame house or cabin just off highway 11 which runs between Booneville and Beattyville, and a one acre family cemetery was established at the top of the hill for Cordy and Manerva, their descendants and their descendants’ spouses. The house is gone, but a photo of it is extant [7-GG] and the original well remains.
On 1 July 1863 Cordy registered for the civil war draft as required, giving his age as 44 and his birth year and place as 1819 in North Carolina. Almost all of Owsley County was on the side of the Union. The story told in more than one branch of Cordy descendants is that raiders came by and stole Manerva’s favorite horse, which she greatly lamented, and that she had a little money which she hid under a cabbage in the garden so that the soldiers would not find it.
On 5 August 1870 Cordy obtained five acres of land on a branch of Buck Creek in Owsley County.
In all census records which asked for an occupation, Cordy reported himself as a farmer, including the 1870 census and 1880 census records for Owsley. In 1870, living in Traveller’s Rest, he reported himself as born in North Carolina with real estate valued at $1,000.00 and personal property worth $465.00. and able to read and write, though Manerva was not literate. Some of the children were still at home in 1880, when Cordy again reported his birthplace and that of both of his parents as North Carolina. Again, he was listed as literate while Manerva was not, and their general residence was listed as having been in Booneville.
In June 1883, an article in the Beattyville Enterprise stated that, “Rev. C. Pendergrass, one of Owsley County’s most substantial farmers, visited our office Saturday. Bro. Pendergrass is perhaps one of the best and most devoted Christians of the nineteenth century.”
In 1884, just before Christmas on December 16th, Cordy and his wife Manerva [Thompson], together with Washington Garrett and his wife Sarah [Thompson], all of Owsley County, Kentucky, sold via a deed all their interest in the Lee County [Virginia] estate of Henry Thompson, deceased, to A L Pridemore of Lee County for $150.00. Both wives waived dower. Henry Thompson, brother of Manerva and Sarah, had no marriage of record and appeared as single in all census records, living with his parents into their old age and then at age 80 with a young niece who was keeping house for him.
In 1891, Cordy founded and, with other men of Owsley county, constructed the old Clifty Methodist Church, of white-painted clapboard on a beautiful parcel of land overlooking Buck Creek.[7-I I] As of this writing, the church is still standing but in bad repair and has been condemned. [7-KK]The few services which are held for the tiny remaining congregation (at last count four members) are conducted in the more recently built hall next door. Restoration, if possible at all, would be very expensive and there is no apparent interest by anyone who can afford to save it. The original lectern and pews are still visible inside it.
On 19 April 1898, Cordy died and was buried two days later in the Pendergrass family cemetery he founded. Manerva died on 8 August 1907 and was buried beside him.
1.6.7. LOUISA JANE PENDERGRASS[tentative?] born about 1825 in Virginia, met an unknown partner.
1.7. ANNEY2 PENDERGRASS (JOHN1) was born sometime around 1782 in Warren County, North Carolina and was left in her father’s will one half of his household goods after her mother Hannah’s death. On January 15th, 1805, James Goodson bonded to marry her in Wake with Thomas Massey as bondsman. James was born about January 1782 according to his apprentice bond at the time he was orphaned and apprenticed to Robert Chamblee. After their marriage, James appeared as head of household on an 1810 tax list in Little River District of Wake County near Anney’s brothers. A James Goodson died about January 1869 in the area, who may or may not have been the same James who married Anney, as the wife named in his will was called Martha.[Ann?] With one very tentative exception, none of the children of James and Anney have been identified. The 1810 and 1820 censuses for Wake are missing and the couple did not appear in further records. However, because his first name at that time and place was quite unusual and because Anney did have a nephew of the same name born in 1819 Wake to her brother Moses, because his birth year fits, and because there is hardly any other way to explain him, it is postulated, only that
James Goodson and Anney Pendergrass MAY have had the following child:
1.7.1 CORDY3 GOODSON [speculative] (Anney2, JOHN1?) was born about 1805 in North Carolina and married Priscilla “Sillia” Coley on 14 January,1828. She was born there about 1809. This couple appeared in the 1830 Buffalo Creek district of Wake County and thereafter in Jasper, Georgia, one of the very few members of this family (if he was one) to have held slaves.
__________GENERATION 3__________
1.1.1. BENNETT3 PENDERGRASS (Solomon2, JOHN1) was born about 1794 in Wake Co.,North Carolina and married Aquilla “Quilly”Medlin on 5 December 1817 in Wake. She was born there about 1800. Bennett died after 1867 in Wake County.,based on a conveyance of land to his son John R in that year..
Bennett Pendergrass and Aquilla “Quilly” Medlin had the following children:
1.1.1.1. ELLEN4 PENDERGRASS was born about 1820 in North Carolina and married Ridley/Riley/Royal “Rial” Medlin on 19 March 1840 in Wake, North Carolina. He was born about 1818 in North Carolina. From unusually consistent ages given in all census records, her stated birth year was 1822, but a female living in the household with Bennett and Quilly in the 1830 census was born between 1815 and 1820 and there were no other female children, so 1820 is assigned her. There are other explanations, but the most likely is the frequent two year disparity in census ages because of the time of year censuses were taken and the way the question of age was phrased.
1.1.1.2. JOHN R PENDERGRASS was born about 1821 in North Carolina and married Sarah “Sally” Medlin, daughter of Cader “Cade” Medlin and Anne Preston, on 26 October 1841 in Franklin County. She was born about 1818 in North Carolina. John R’s birth year is variously given in census records as 1822, 1823, 1817 and 1816. Giving his parents the benefit of the moral doubt, and noting that his parents did not marry until December of 1817, he should not have been born before the Fall of 1818 and he should still have been in his parents’ household in the 1830 census between the ages of 7 and 12. In his parents’ household in 1830, there were two males listed as born 1820-1825 and in 1840, 2 males born 1821-1825. It is known from later records that John R survived to adulthood and remained near Bennett during Bennett’s lifetime and received property from him in 1867, so absent extraordinary circumstances, of which there is no indication, John R was one of the two males in the household in 1830 and 1840 census and born about 1820/21, depending on the enumeration date of the census records.
1.1.1.3. NATHANIEL D PENDERGRASS was born about 1824 in Wake County, North Carolina. He married Frances Young on 26 January 1841 in Wake; bondsman Solomon Rogers and witness A Williams. Opinion and facts are divided as to whether he is the same person as Dorsey, and this issue could probably have been resolved if the 1810 and 1820 censuses for Wake were not missing. There is no extant record of him under this name except for the one marriage record, even after a thorough search of tax lists and census, court and other public records for Wake, Nash, and surrounding counties. There is a Nathaniel D Pendergrass who died in the Texas military at stated age 18 in 1848 , so born in 1830 if that age was correct, and therefore too young to have been Wake County Nathaniel D. Most importantly, there does not seem to have been a slot for an extra male in Bennett’s household, so after much consideration and with some reservation, this author concurs with the majority opinion that Nathaniel D and Dorsey are the same person, though they are listed separately here for purposes of discussion and in case of future revelations.
1.1.1.4. [NATHANIEL?] DORSEY “DAWSEY” PENDERGRASS was born in Wake County, North Carolina and his birth year is in doubt. If he was one of the two boys in Bennett’s household in the 1830 and 1840 census years, he was born between 1821 and 1825. However, his birth year in the 1850 census was given as 1815 and in 1860, as 1823. To add to the confusion, there is no doubt of his military identity because he volunteered for the Confederacy from Wake County, but the military records listed his birth year once as 1828 and again a month later as 1833, and he wasn’t alive by then to tell anyone. All things considered, 1823 is a good approximate birth year. If he was the same person as Nathaniel D, then he married (1) Frances Young on 26 Jan 1841 in Wake, bondman Solomon Rogers and witness A Williams and (2) although there is no formal marriage record, Didamah Lee. Of the two female children in Dorsey and Didamah’s household in 1850 and 1860 census records, only the death certificate of the younger daughter, Priscilla, is extant, and it lists her father as Dorsey and her mother as Didamah Lee, leaving in doubt whether Mary, born 1845, is also Didamah’s or is from Dorsey’s prior marriage (if there was one) to Frances Young.
Whatever his marital situation, Dorsey, a 5’ 8 “ farmer, enlisted for the duration of the Civil War on June 19th, 1861 at Camp Advance, North Carolina and was assigned to Company E, 7th Infantry, but within a year was sick in various military hospitals and died 7 November 1862 in Mount Jackson, Virginia, of the chronic diarrhea which killed so many Confederate soldiers, including his second cousin Thomas Pendergrass, His personal effects were listed as “clothing, etc.” and were received by November 11th, 1862. On February 9th, 1864, attorney Alvin Peacock filed a claim on behalf of his estate.
1.1.4. BARSHEBA3PENDERGRASS(Solomon2,John1) [tentative] born 18 September 1798 in North Carolina, died after 1860 in Wake County. She married Reuben Sanders Amos on 29 November 1816 in Wake. He was born 22 March 1782 in North Carolina and died after 1860 in Wake County. Barsheba could have been a daughter of Benjamins who had married just before Benjamin left for Wilkes County with the family, or a daughter of Jesse, but is placed here as a daughter of Solomon because he was the only son of Wake John still in Wake at the right time, and because in the 1840 Little River district of Wake County, Sanders Amos, Barsheba and their children were living next door to Solomon’s son Bennett Pendergrass, after whom Barsheba apparently named a child.
Reuben Sanders Amos and Barsheba Pendergrass had the following children:
1.1.4.1 NANCY4 AMOS, born about 1823 in North Carolina, died after 1880, apparently without marrying. She was single and living with her parents in 1860, with her brother Richard in 1880.
1.1.4.2. CHAPPELE AMOS was born about 1825 in North Carolina.
1.1.4.3. RICHARD BENNETT AMOS, born 12 September 1829 North Carolina, died 4 August 1890 in Mark’s Creek, Wake County, married his second cousin once removed, Agnes Ann Medlin 20 August 1866 in Wake. She was born 13 January 1842, and died 7 October 1906 in Harris Township, Franklin County. Both descended from Solomon Pendergrass/
1.1.4.4. ELIJAH E AMOS, born about 1836 in Little River, Wake County, North Carolina, died for the Confederacy on 27 June 1862 at the Battle of Gains Mill, Hanover County, Virginia.
1.1.4.5. SARAH “SALLY” AMOS, born 16 July 1836 in North Carolina, died after 1913. She married Samuel Wesley Pearce on 27 September 1855 in Wake County. He was born there about 1822.
1.1.5. WRIGHT3 PENDERGRASS (Solomon2, JOHN1) was born about 1802 in Wake County, North Carolina and married Lowery/Lorinda Alford on 17 July 1830 in Wake County.
Wright Pendergrass and Lowery/Lorinda Alford had the following children:
1.1.5.1. NANCY4 PENDERGRASS was born about 1830 in North Carolina and married James Moye, son of Thomas Moye and Alpha Medlin, on 27 March 1853 in Franklin, North Carolina, . He was born about 1831 in North Carolina.
1.1.5.2. MILLY/MIDDY ANN PENDERGRASS. born about 1835 in North Carolina, apparently never married.
1.1.5.3. MARTHA ANN PENDERGRASS, born August 1840 in North Carolina. married Samuel D Edwards, son of Benjamin Edwards and Sallie, on 29 June, 1868 in Nash, North Carolina, He was born about 1840 in North Carolina.
1.1.5.4. MARY SALLY PENDERGRASS was born about 1843 in North Carolina.
1.1.5.5. JOSEPH ANN PENDERGRASS [Josephine?] was born about 1849 in North Carolina and married Asa Rodgers in 1867. He was born in March 1846 in North Carolina.
1.1.5.6 JOHN PENDERGRASS [twin] was born about 1851 in North Carolina.
1.1.5.7. THOMAS W PENDERGRASS[twin] was born about 1851 in North Carolina and married Easter A D Unknown, who was born about 1855 in North Carolina.
1.1.6. PENELOPE “PENNY”3 PENDERGRASS (Solomon2, JOHN1) was born in 1800 in Wake County. North Carolina, though according to the 1850 and 1860 census records she was born in 1805. She married Henry Bunn on 15 August 1815 in Wake, North Carolina. He was born about 1792 in North Carolina. Even at a time when girls married young, ten years old at marriage seems impossible, so despite the listing twice of her birth year as 1805, it has been adjusted here to 1800. Many trees online list their first child as Malachi Bunn born about 1815, who married Margaret Robertson and in 1840, had several children, died for the Confederacy in 1864, as well as a daughter Charlotte born 1822, but no record has been found to verfy this.
Henry Bunn and Penelope “Penny” Pendergrass had the following known children:
1.1.6.1. CALVIN4 BUNN was born about 1827 in North Carolina. He married Sarah “Sally” Loyd on 23 December 1850 in Franklin County. She was born about 1822 in North Carolina.
1.1.6.2. WILLIAM “RUFFIN” BUNN was born about 1830 in North Carolina and married Jane Layton on 24 January, 1856 in Franklin County. Jane was born about 1829 in North Carolina and was listed as widowed in the 1880 census.
1.1.6.3. MARTHA BUNN was born about 1833 in North Carolina and on 25 August 1859 in Franklin County she married her second cousin once removed (1) Benjamin Medlin, son of Ridley/Riley/Royal “Rial” Medlin and Ellen Pendergrass (Bondsman, Calvin Pearce).He was born about 1838 in North Carolina and had died by 1870 as Martha appeared as widowed in that census. In 1877, on or after 17 May, she married (2) Curtis H Hodge, son of Allen Hodge and Nancy, in Wake County. Curtis was born about 1821 in North Carolina.
1.1.6.4. JUDGETON BUNN was born about 1836 in North Carolina.
1.1.6.5. ARCHIBALD BUNN was born about 1837 in North Carolina.
1.1.6.6. PENELOPE “PENNY” BUNN was born about 1840 in North Carolina.
1.1.6.7. LOUISA BUNN was born about 1843 in North Carolina. She either married a Williams at age 15 or, more likely the census taker made an error because her name was still Bunn in later records. The census taker wrote her name as Louisa and age 15, added “William” on the same line, and left the next line blank as to names, listing only an 11 year old white male, who does not seem to be mentioned again.
1.1.6.8. A male BUNN [William?] was born about 1849 if the above entry was correct.
1.1.7. MARY “POLLY”3PENDERGRASS [Tentative] (Solomon2, JOHN1) was born about 1805 in Wake County, North Carolina, and died after 1866?. She married Richard Medlin, who was born about 1795 in Franklin County, North Carolina and died about 1838 in Wake County. She is placed here on the testimony of one of her descendants, and the Medlin family were close neighbors of the Pendergrasses, but no marriage or other record confirming the information.has been found
Richard Medlin ? and Mary “Polly” Pendergrass ? had the following children:
1.1.7.1. JOHN RICHARD4 MEDLIN was born on 4 June 1828 in Wake County, North Carolina, and died on 21 August 1864 in Petersburg, Virginia (Blandford Cemetery, Battle Globe Tavern). He married Catherine “Kittie” P Drake(?) in 1862. She was born in 1826 in Franklin County, North Carolina and died there on 12 May 1885 in Harris District.
1.1.7.2. HAWKINS MEDLIN was born about 1833 in Wake County, North Carolina and died in April 1864 in North Carolina. He married Mary Unknown.
1.1.7.3. ADDISON MEDLIN was born about 1839 in North Carolina.
.
1.2.1. ISAAC3 PENDERGRASS (Jesse2, JOHN1) was born about 1787 in Warren County, North Carolina and died there after 1870, not appearing in the 1880 census.. He married Elizabeth Cogwell, daughter of Esrom Cogwell, on 29 October 1806 in Franklin County,. She was born about 1788 in North Carolina. In the 1870 census, he was unaccountably listed as John, but the identity is unmistakable, and this was the only known instance of that name in all the numerous records about him throughout his life, so likely a simple clerical error rather than a double name.
Isaac Pendergrass and Elizabeth Cogwell had the following child:
1.2.1.1. SARAH WILLIS4 PENDERGRASS, born 1816 in North Carolina, married George Washington Stainback, son of William G/H Stainback and Sarah Cogwell/Coghill,12April 1836 in Warren, North Carolina, born about 1813..
1.2.2. DANIEL3 PENDERGRASS (Jesse2, JOHN1) was born in 1788 and died before 1837 (Son Jesse C/G was apprenticed to his uncle Isaac as a 15 year old orphan in 1837).He married (1) Nancy Weldon on 8 January 1821 in Warren County, North Carolina. He married (2) Polly Dickerson on 20 May 1822 with John Askew, bondsman. .
Daniel Pendergrass and Nancy Weldon had the following child:
1.2.2.1. JESSE G4 PENDERGRASS was born in 1821 in North Carolina and died May 1895 in Brodie, North Carolina, according to a newspaper article reporting his death. He married (1) Matilda Cogwell on August 7, 1844 in Warren County and before the 1860 census (2)Frances “Fanny” Nuckles, who was born about 1835 in North Carolina. and died 9 May 1912. He and Frances were buried in the old overgrown cemetery on Sandy Creek along the east side of what was formerly called Pendergrass Road (now Summit) and their graves are marked with nicely engraved headstones, among several graves marked only with plain stones. He was alsos listed as Jessie C in records, but Jessie G on his headstone.
Daniel Pendergrass and Polly Dickerson had three additional unidentified male children in their household in census records, but their relationship, if any, is unproven and their names unknown..They are listed here in case of later identification.

In other works and online, he has been confused with his first cousin Raleigh, son of Benjamin, who moved to Wilkes County, North Carolina, in about 1816, but this Raleigh, son of Jesse, appeared consistently on the Sheriff’s list of insolvents each year they are extant from 1828 through 1845, though he and Susan brought up a large family. He was never listed as having been taxed for any land or any personal property. It was not unusual to rent or sharecrop farms at the time.

He was born 1832 in North Carolina and died there in 1879. Lucy was not living with Hardy in the 1880 census, and Hardy was listed as a servant in the household of the younger Willis T Duke, the two men, only, living next door to Mary, Melissa and Raleigh [B] Pendergrass.

1.5.4. BAILEY3 PENDERGRASS [SR] (Benjamin2, JOHN1) was born about 1810 in North Carolina. He married Ruth Rash on 22 April 1833 in Wilkes County. She was born about 1811 in North Carolina.
Bailey Pendergrass and Ruth Rash had the following children:
1.5.4.1. BAILEY4 PENDERGRASS [JR] was born 19 March 1836 (headstone year) in Howard County, Indiana and apparently died at well over 100 years of age on 6 April 1944 in Kokomo. He married (1) Mahala Isabelle “Belle” Johnson, who was born about 1858 in Indiana, and died in 1900. He married (2) Viretta “Retta” Garner, daughter of Craven Garner and Sarah “Sally” Stevens, on 22 September 1901 in Howard County. Viretta was born 2 April 1858 in Missouri and died 16 August 1938 in Kokomo. Retta had been previously married to Elisha Weaver and brought several Weaver children into Bailey Jr’s second marriage. Many anomalies in the public records about Bailey Jr at first called his parentage into question. Hannah Abney, who gave information for his death certificate, thought his father’s name was James but knew nothing at all about his parents’ origins, not even his mother’s name, understandable since he had been born over a century earlier. . In the 1850 census, when he would have been about 14, though his actual birth year is in question, no Bailey Jr was listed in Bailey and Ruth’s household, and all the children who were listed there have been identified. Two census records in 1880 and 1900 listed both his parents as born in North Carolina, but in 1910 someone listed his father as born in Ireland and in 1930 as born in Scotland. Further research, however, showed that Bailey [Jr] and his wife Belle on 9 April 1896 (as indexed by Ancestry) were approved after a home visit by a committee and permitted to join the Kokomo monthly Quaker meeting. Bailey [Sr]’s sister Massey Pendergrass (Sitton) (Apple) and her children were also Quakers, admitted to the Westland meeting in 1888. Additionally, Bailey [Jr] and both his wives were buried in the Albright Cemetery in Kokomo, Indiana, amongst other Bailey [Sr] descendants. This evidence plus the gap in time between Bailey [Sr]’s marriage to Ruth Rash on 22 April 1833 and the birth of their next known child in 1837, leaves room for the birth of Bailey [Jr] as their first son. born in 1836 or just earlier. For these reasons, Bailey Pendergrass [Jr] has been placed here as a child of Bailey [Sr] and Ruth Rash despite his absence from the 1850 census.In other works, a “Bailey” wife for Benjamin was created solely from Bailey’s name, disproven by his sister Massey’s death record.
1.5.4.2. RALEIGH4 PENDERGRASS was born on 7 March 1837 in Indiana, and died on 17 March 1885 in Howard County. He married Mary Ann Henry, born in February 1842 in Indiana, in 1862 in Rush County, Indiana.
1.5.4.3. RILEY PENDERGRASS was born on 13 February 1838 in Rush County, Indiana, and died on 18 March 1911 in Lapel, Madison County, Indiana.. He married Nancy Jane Lawson in 1862 in Rush County, Indiana (1900 census says married 36 years, but license indicates April 1862.). She was born in May 1842 in Indiana and died on 16 May 1911 in Lapel, Madison County, Indiana.
1.5.4.4. MARTHA E PENDERGRASS was born about 1844 in Rush County, Indiana and died on 25 January 1900 in Knightstown, Henry County, Indiana (Age: 56). She married John Peter Rhodes on 22 November 1866 in Rush County. He was born on 13 April 1842 in Montgomery County, Ohio and died on 12 September 1931 in Knightstown, Henry County, Indiana.
1.5.5. MASSEY3 PENDERGRASS (Benjamin 2, JOHN1) was born on 30 May 1815 in Wilkes [Wake?] County, North Carolina, and died on 3 November 1900 in Indiana. She married (1) William Sitton, who was born between 1800-1810 in North Carolina. She married (2) John H Apple on 25 September 1850 in Hancock County. He was born about 1808 in Ohio and died on 2 May 1876. Massey was willed a slave in 1826 in her grandfather Hezekiah Massey’s Wake County will, and the fate of this slave is unknown. However, at the time of her death, Massey and her family were Quakers and by then Quakers did not hold slaves. Neither Massey nor her father appears ever to have been taxed for the slave and there is no record of any Sandy Creek or Wake County Pendergrass ever having been a slaveholder.
William Sitton and Massey Pendergrass had the following children:
1.5.5.1. WILLIAM4 SITTON JR was born about 1836 in Indiana and married Susan Bever [Sackman?] on 7 October 1856 in Hancock County, Indiana. She was born in 1833 in Indiana and died there on 29 August 1905.

1.5.5.7. DANIEL H APPLE was born on 20 September 1858 in Hancock, Indiana and died on 27 December 1946 in Hancock County.

She was born on 25 November 1860 in Ingalls, Madison County, Indiana. He married (2) Lillian Clark, daughter of William L Clark and Mary A Smith, on 16 November 1904 in Maxwell, Hancock County, Indiana. She was born in 1876 in Indiana.

He married Willey (not Milly) Perry on 15 March 1823 in Wake County, North Carolina She was born about 1800 in the Wake County area of North Carolina. Aaron’s father, Moses Pendergrass, was bondsman. [see above] Since the 1840 census did not give names, the children have not been identified., and Willey has not been found. Before 1880, it is never safe to assume that all household members listed in a census record are family members by birth or marriage, but a reconstruction of the two available census records for Aaron shows the following household inhabitants, who are listed here in case of future identification:
Aaron Pendergrass and Willey Perry had the following household members:

After Green’s death, she married William Kinser by 1865 and had six more children, half siblings to her children with Sylvester Green. Some researchers have questioned his parentage, but the tming and names of his children indicate that he was son of Ransom and Milly, not Moses.

1.6.2.14. LUCY B or J PENDERGRASS was born about 1854 or 1856 and from the birth order appears to have been J in 1860 and Lucy B in 1870. She married David W Quarles in Yalobusha County, Mississippi in 1888 and that record reflects that she was Lucy Belle Pendergrass, born in Alabama. Her sister Isabelle was also “Belle”.
1.6.2.15. H C OR K C PENDERGRASS [male] was born about 1859 in Alabama and cannot be identified because of the ineptitude of the 1860 census taker, whom many researchers would like to throttle because he wrote down only initials and got those and most of the family members’ ages completely wrong. From birth order in the 1870 census, H C or C K either died before it or is the same person as Stephen Sanders Pendergrass, below.
1.6.2.16. STEPHEN SANDERS PENDERGRASS was born on 17 August 1861 (or 1859/60 if he is the same person as H C) in Alabama, . He died on 29 January 1889 (Age: 27).after having married Martha “Mattie” Angeline Henderson on 9 December 1884 in Yalobusha, Mississippi. She was born on 19 November 1867 in Mississippi and died on 16 August 1956.
1.6.3. VINCENT3 PENDERGRASS (MOSES2, JOHN1) was born about 1806 in Wake County, North Carolina and died after 1873 in Lee County, Virginia, . He married Patsey Ann “Anna” Perkins about 1834 in Wythe County, Virginia, (date extrapolated from ages of children in 1840 census and her maiden name from children’s death certificates). Patsy Anne was born about 1803 in Wythe County, Virginia. Vincent’s household, along with other Pendergrasses who were known to have been there, has not been located in any 1860 census, but he was mentioned there in Lee County in other records during the 1860s, so it would appear that the 1860 census was missing rather than Vincent himself. In 1870 indexing online, his birthplace was mis-transcribed as Markasian, Virginia, but the record actually says “Unknown”, obviously.that question was answered by someone other than he. In all other records, Vincent’s birthplace was given as North Carolina.
Vincent Pendergrass and Patsey Ann Perkins had the following children:
1.6.3.1. CATHERINE4 PENDERGRASS was born about 1833 in Virginia, .
1.6.3.2. JAMES ALEXANDER PENDERGRASS was born on 1 March 1840 in Virginia, and died on 29 December 1924 in Bristol, Washington County, Virginia, . He married Anas/Annis R Rutherford in 1864. She was born on 4 August 1847 in Tennessee and died on 10 September 1925. He enlisted to fight for the Confederacy at Abingdon in May 1861, fell ill and was hospitalized in Wytheville in July and was mustered out in September.
1.6.3.3. LOUISA PENDERGRASS was born about 1842 in Lee County,Virginia, .
1.6.3.4. MARTHA J PENDERGRASS was born about 1844 in Lee County, Virginia, and died there on 6 May 1870. (Of note: her death record indicates she died before she was listed apparently alive in the 1870 census.). She married John Rutherford, son of James Rutherford and Elizabeth, on 8 March 1866 in Lee County, Virginia. He was born in 1844 in Lee County.
1.6.3.5. SARAH E OR A PENDERGRASS [twin],born 16 April 1847 in Lee County, Virginia, twin of Ira Bradley, married David L Lane 20 September 1873 in Lee County, Virginia. He was born in April 1853 in Claiborne County, Tennessee.
1.6.3.6. IRA BRADLEY PENDERGRASS [twin] born 16 April 1847 in Lee County, died 26 November 1936 in Virginia, married Sarah Matilda Rutherford 6 February 1867 in Madison, Kentucky.,born about 1851 Virginia, died 22 December 1928. [George W Pendergrass Sr recalled this name as being a relative’s before any research identifyng Ira was done.]
1.6.3.7. JULIANNE PENDERGRASS was born on 14 February 1849 in Wythe County, Virginia and died on 7 August 1906. She met (1) an unknown partner with whom she had a child, and later married (2) Andrew J Poff, son of George Poff and Martha, on 6 January 1861 in Lee County, Virginia. He was born about 1844 in Tazewell County, Virginia.
1.6.3.8. JOHN PENDERGRASS was born about 1854 in Lee County, Virginia, with no other infomation found..
1.6.6. REV. CORDY3 PENDERGRASS (MOSES2,JOHN1) was born on 29 December 1819 in Wake County, North Carolina, grew up in Wythe and Lee Counties, Virginia, and died on 19 April 1898 in Levi, Owsley County, Kentucky (Age: 78). He married Manerva Thompson, who was born on 25 November 1825 in (Lee County?) Virginia, and died on 8 August 1907 in Levi, Owsley County, Kentucky, .They are buried in the Pendergrass Cemetery founded by Cordy near the Levi curve on Highway 11 just outside Booneville, Kentucky, not far from the old Clifty United Methodist Church on Buck Creek that Cordy founded in 1891. Between the 1850 and 1860 census, the family (except for the child Moses who died) moved from Lee County, Virginia to Owsley County, Kentucky at the Lee County, Kentucky. line: Cordy Pendergrass. and Minerva, his wife of Lee Co, for $1200 sell to Robt. Travis land south of Powell’s River, beg. beech tree on bank of Powell’s River, thence easterly with meanderings,[and trees] to Top of Wallen’s Ridge to stake with Miller’s line.“I, Cordy Pendergrass. am seized of good and indefeasible estate of inheritance therein” and Minerva waives dower, July 19 1858.[7-EE] Cordy signed this deed in full.
In their family Bible, Cordy listed his parents as Moses and Nancy Pendergrass without giving his mother’s or his wife’s parents, and listed births, deaths and marriages, but the pages were missing for decades. This author’s father had always been told that when Cordy laid the corner stone for the old Clifty Church, he had placed inside it the family Bible and a ten dollar gold piece. Before YDNA testing became available, when we were puzzling over how to prove Cordy’s parentage and had hit a roadblock, my father, normally the most law abiding of men, made a trip to Kentucky with the avowed intention of finding the Bible even if he had to take an ax to the cornerstone. On a visit to some of the older aunties on the way to the church, he explained his drastic plot to get at the Bible no matter what it took (such was his burning curiosity and fervent dedication to The Quest!). One of the aunties went into her cedar chest, came back out clutching some fragile papers, and said, “I hope you aren’t going to be mad at me, Paul, but when daddy was going to put that Bible in the cornerstone, I wanted to get into the DAR someday, so I cut the family pages out and hid them.” Whether there ever was an actual cornerstone which contained anything is a matter of conjecture because none of the stones seems thick enough to be hollow, but in any event, that auntie saved not only our family history for posterity but my father from possible criminal mischief charges!
From Cordy’s naming of his parents in the Bible, and his statements in all census records that he was born in North Carolina, it was possible to locate a corresponding Moses Pendergrass and Nancy Wheeler couple married in January 1800 in Wake County and to confirm their identity with YDNA testing of Cordy descendants who were solid matches to descendants of Moses’ older brother, Jesse, and others (Spencer, “Buncombe” John, “Bob’s John) from the Sandy Creek group.
Rev. CORDY PENDERGRASS and MANERVA THOMPSON had the following children:
1.6.6.1. ELIZABETH JANE4 PENDERGRASS[7-RR], born on 7 November 1841 in Lee County, Virginia, died on 14 February 1915 in Owsley County, Kentucky (Age: 73). She married Lafayette M Burk in 1858 in Owsley. He was born
1 March 1838 in Virginia and died on 30 April 1924 in Buck Creek, Owsley County, Kentucky,(Age: 86). Uncle George (Dr. George Washington Pendergrass, Jr) [7-I I I] said that when he wasn’t getting along with someone at home, he would go to their house and they would “raise him for a while.” In return, he cared for the widower Lafayette Burk [7-RR] until he died.
1.6.6.2. MOSES PENDERGRASS was born on 19 May 1843 in Lee County, Virginia and died there on 22 November 1852. His death was listed in his parents’ family Bible, but no indication of the cause of his death has been found. Mandatory death records in Virginia began in 1853. [Note: His grandfather Moses Pendergrass died after 1861.]
1.6.6.3. MARY/MARIA ANN PENDERGRASS was born on 21 April 1845 in Lee County, Virginia and died on 24 February 1930 in Lee County, Kentucky (Age: 84). She married (1) Elkanah “Cainer” Smith, who was born about 1834 in Lee County,Virginia and died 1 April 1877 in Owsley County, Kentucky. She met (2) [Elijah ?] [Ross?] after 1878 in Owsley County, Kentucky. Unverified family tradition is very vague as to who fathered the children born after Caner’s death.
1.6.6.4. MARTHA “PATSEY” JANE PENDERGRASS[7-NN] was born on 29 June 1847 in Lee County, Virginia, and died on 27 June 1937 in Lee County, Kentucky, (Age: 89). She met (1) John Malaer,wiih whom she had a son in 1863, She married (2) John Newman about 1874. He was born in May 1854 in Virginia and died 4 November 1878 in Owsley. She married (3) Sheridan Farley, son of Andrew Farley and Mary M, in 1881. He was born 12 May 1849 in Virginia and died on 25 June 1944 in Lee County, Kentucky. In the 1900 census she stated that she had borne10 chldren of whom only six were still living. According to Dr George Washington Pendergrass, Jr, she didn’t come into town very often and he didn’t know her very well, except that he remembers geese or ducks at her home when he visited.
1.6.6.5. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN/HARRISON PENDERGRASS [7-QQ],born on 16 May 1849 in Lee County, Virginia, died on 16 May 1894 in Kentucky, He married Nancy C Bell, who was born about 1854 in Lee County, Virginia, .
1.6.6.6. LETITIA PENDERGRASS[7-NN], born 17 May 1851 in Virginia, married George W Burk in 1879. He was born in May 1855 or 1867 (conflicting records) in Virginia and died on 31 March 1922 in Fayette County, Kentucky, (Age: 65).
1.6.6.7. WILLIAM/WASHINGTON “BOREN” PENDERGRASS [7-NN] was born on 9 April 1853 in Lee County, Virginia and died on 11 June 1932 in Kentucky. (Age: 79). He married (1) Phoebe Flannery on 5 April 1877 in Kentucky She was born on 5 May 1860 in Kentucky and died in 1899 (Age: 39). He married (2) Nancy “Nannie” Metcalf, who was born in 1880 in Kentucky and died there in 1960 (Age: 80).
1.6.6.8. JOHN WESLEY PENDERGRASS[7-00] was born on 21 February 1855 in Lee County, Virginia, and died on 20 September 1926 in Lee County, Kentucky from Bright’s Disease. He married Mary J Cornett, daughter of Ellroy Cornett and Hannah A, in 1887. She was born in March 1861 in Kentucky. Daniel Boone Pendergrass, II, John Wesley’s grandnephew, told the story that when John Wesley, a preacher’s son, was a boy, he and a young cohort decided to make themselves some money by staging a revival over in Breathitt County. John Wesley preached and the other boy sang and apparently they were a modest success until his father Rev. Cordy found out and came storming into the building, at which point John Wesley dove out the window with the collection plate. Uncle George Washington Pendergrass, Jr, said John Wesley was quite a character, or as Uncle George put it, “a mess”. He said that on Saturday nights, John Wesley, a blacksmith by trade, would take his horse and a sledge to a well known spot where he and his friends could get together to drink illegal liquor. At the end of the evening when he was thoroughly inebriated, his friends would load him onto the sledge and slap the horse on the rump, and the horse would take John Wesley home. Additionally, according to family tradition, there have been persistent rumors of skillful moonshiners and bootleggers in this branch of the family..
1.6.6.9. DANIEL BOONE CARTER PENDERGRASS [7-NN][7-UU][7-AAA], born 12 June 1857 in Lee County, Virginia, died 1 April 1947 in Winchester, Clark County, Kentucky, (Buried Pendergrass Cemetery, Levi, Kentucky). He married (1) Martha Elizabeth “Mattie” Bolling, [7-VV]daughter of Obediah C Bolling and Ann R Wells[7-WW], on 9 September 1879 in Tazewell, Claiborne County, Tennessee. They eloped from Lee County, Virginia to the initial horror of her family, who later grudgingly came to accept her husband. She was born on 3 November 1859 in Lee County, Virginia,and died on 28 July 1892 in Levi, Owsley County, Kentucky, .[7-LL, 7-MM] He married (2) Calysta Belle Marcum,[7-XX,CCC] daughter of James Moses Marcum and Cynthia/Sinthia Ann Combs, about 1894. She was born in 1873 in Kentucky, and said to have been the prettiest woman in Owsley County.. She and their only child died in 1895 in Owsley County, and they were buried in the Combs Cemetery in Milltown, Kentucky outside Booneville with her Marcum family. He then married (3) Sarah “Mintie” Johnson [7-YY] about 1897, born 15 January 1874 in Miller’s Creek, Kentucky and died 20 August 1969 in Winchester
There is a very strong circumstantial case that at about age 15, Daniel Boone Carter Pendergrass fathered a child with his close neighbor Malvina “Malvery” Burns (daughter of William B Burns and Sarah Barrett) who at the time was about 17. Her descendants report that she was seduced by a Pendergrass man on a train while travelling to Virginia to visit relatives. Dan also had relatives in Lee County, Virginia, and in fact his first wife lived there until their elopement and marriage. In the 1870 Owsley County, Kentucky census, Dan was listed at home with his parents in the Traveller’s Rest district about two households away from Malvina’s family, so they certainly knew one another as teenagers. By the 1880 census, Malvina had departed the neighborhood (married a Ward about 1889, had five more children, and was widowed by 1900) and the child, called Malissa Jane Burns, was being brought up by her maternal grandparents. On 18 September 1890, about the same time as her mother’s marriage, Malissa at age 17 married Sidney Morton Johnson, Sr, with whom she brought up a family on Miller’s Creek, Estill County. Her death certificate listed her as Malissa Ward Johnson, and gave her parents as Malvie Burns and Charles Pendergrass, but there was no Charles Pendergrass in the area at that time, though Dan had a son Charles who was born after Malissa.
Malissa first came to the attention of this author in March 2019 through cousin Alan Pendergrass, whose autosomal DNA test turned up a strong match to Malissa’s descendants and which also by process of comparison indicated that Dan was likely to have been her father. - more likely than any of his brothers. Having already formed a solid case from DNA and record evidence without it, Dan’s descendants are grateful to Doug Rogers for a reference to his great Aunt Ellen Rogers’ book [The Rogers Family, self published in 1994] about their family and allied families, which stated without equivocation on page 160 that Malissa’s father was Daniel Pendergrass.
Malissa by rights should be numbered 1.6.6.9.1. as the first child of Daniel, but as there is no primary evidence of the relationship, (and to avoid having to renumber thousands of descendants of “Wake” John), she and her descendants will instead be placed at the end of this chapter with their own numbering system. To follow Malissa’s paternal line backwards in time, see 1.6.6.9.(Dan), then 1.6.6,(Cordy) then 1.6. (Moses) and then 1.(“Wake” John and Hannah Pendergrass of Wake County. At first, Dan reported himself to have been a farmer, but in the 1900 and 1910 censuses he listed himself as a jeweler with his own shop in Beattyville. Newspaper articles called him a silversmith when in 1919, by very good fortune, oil was discovered on his land, which made him an overnight millionaire. Shortly afterward, Dan purchased the estate, called Traveller’s Rest, in Danville, Kentucky, [7-TT]which had once belonged to the first Governor of Kentucky, Isaac Shelby. According to newspaper reports too numerous to cite, the finest tobacco ever seen in Kentucky was grown there (though not by Dan personally) and Dan sent to Governor Edwin P Morrow a box of apples from an ancient tree on the property, said to have been planted by Governor Shelby himself. Dan later sold this property and moved to Winchester to be near family and died there on April 1st, 1947.
Dan’s oil-producing acreage (and royalties from it) in the Red River Gorge near Natural Bridge State Park,,was passed down through several generations and his great grandson James Paul Murray recently sold the surface rights at a charitable price to a rock climbing coalition, now known as the Pendergrass-Murrary Recreational Preserve. In addition to rock-climbing, there is hiking and cave exploration through some of the most beautiful wilderness in the world.[c.f. 7-ZZ, 7-BBB, 7-CCC]
1.6.6.10. JULIA ANN PENDERGRASS [7-NN], born on 21 October 1859 in Owsley County, Kentucky,.died on 24 December 1947 in Owsley County, Kentucky (Age: 88). She eventually married Green Evans, who was born on 18 March 1857 in Kentucky and died on 6 May 1944 in Owsley County.(Age: 87). Although the records are somewhat cloudy about his legal status, various family members tell the same tale about their unusual romance. It is said that Green Evans, as a young man, did the honorable thing and married a woman he had gotten pregnant, but never lived with her. When he and Julia Ann fell in love, he built her a cabin across the creek from his near her preacher father Cordy and they had three children together while his official residence remained with his mother. In their 70s in census records, they were still nominally living apart and single, but the family says that the very day his first wife died, sometime after 1930, Green made an “honest woman” of Julia Ann, (and an “honest man” of himself, of course),[7-PP] which is duly reflected in the 1940 census. Green was 83 and Julia Ann was 80 but they were married and living together.. He died in 1944, she in 1947, and they are buried together with a double headstone in the Pendergrass cemetery at Levi, Kentucky.
1.6.6.11. LOUISA A PENDERGRASS [7-NN] [pronounced Lou-eye-za, or just Liza] was born on 12 December 1861 in Lee County, Kentucky and died on 13 April 1951 in Pebworth, Owsley County, Kentucky, (Age: 89). George Pendergrass, Jr. remembered her well and fondly and said she was the favorite of all his great-aunts. She would walk or ride a horse into town (Beattyville) from where she was living in Ida May, bringing a woven basket of eggs to swap for coffee, tea, or sugar, and would have supper and spend the night with their family often after George, Sr. abandoned it. He remembers that she was a very slight, small woman who was a “character” and that when he was small she shared his room with him and “she took off seven petticoats and still had one left on.”
Uncle George remembered that once when he was visiting at her home, she began milking the cow into an enameled chamber pot or slop jar of the kind commonly used for sanitary purposes to avoid trips to the privy. Although he was sure it was clean, he could not bring himself to drink any of the milk from it.
One of the stories she told was about the civil war, that while she was very young and her mother,Manerva Thompson (Pendergrass) and the other children were out in the cornfield hoeing, some soldiers (likely Rebels, since Owsley was almost all Union) came through their farm on the run and took her favorite horse, for which she never forgave them. Her mother had a little money and stuck it under a cabbage in the garden so that the soldiers wouldn’t find it.
When she was older, Aunt Louisa wore long skirts and generally showed her age, but as a young woman she was evidently quite attractive.
Louisa married (1) Larkin W Mays in 1881. He was born on 21 July 1861 in Kentucky and died on 8 June 1895 at age 33, of a homicidal gunshot wound. According to Daniel Boone Pendergrass, II and Dr. George Washington Pendergrass, Jr, (her grandnephews) the conflict arose when Rev. Ewing Dunnigan, a married Baptist minister, became smitten with Louisa and left a love note for her in the mailbox (from the Pendergrass point of view, with no encouragement from her). One of the children found it and gave it to Larkin, who became so angry that he confronted Rev Dunnigan and beat him with a shovel until his back was broken. Dunnigan’s son Robert lay in wait for Larkin and shot him dead from ambush. According to a newspaper article in the Winchester Democrat April 26, 1898, Rev. Dunnigan and two of his sons, Robert and Charles, were indicted for the murder, but only Robert was convicted and sentenced in Lee County Circuit Court to ten years in prison. Louisa was listed as a 38 year old widow in the 1900 census, but a younger man 18 years old was living in the household as a hired hand. Shortly afterward, the widow married (2) the hired hand, John/Jackson Brandenburg in about 1902, married 8 years, according to the.1910 census. In 1920, living in the Bowman household but with the surname Brandenburg, she was listed as widowed but in the 1930 census she was listed as divorced.
1.6.6.12. SARAH PENDERGRASS [7-NN],born on 7 March 1864 in Kentucky, died 29 March 1938, married John C Bowman, son of Henry Bowman and Elizabeth Roberts, in 1887, born July 1860 in Kentucky, died 1903 in Owsley. Remarkably, since she was barely born by the end of the civil war (though it didn’t end immediately in eastern Kentucky) the Bowman family heard from Sarah her sister Louisa’s story of the civil war raiders, the horse, and the money under the cabbage, almost word for word. 1910 census records indicate that Sarah had given birth to 7 children, only 4 of whom were living, and that she had taken in several boarders for a few years. She does not appear to have remarried. Uncle George Jr remembers little about her except his mother Alma complaining (rightly or wrongly) that when Aunt Sarah visited, she was nosy and would search through all the drawers, Either way, he liked her. She is buried in the Pendergrass family cemetery at Levi. [see also 7-SS]
1.6.7. LOUISA JANE3 PENDERGRASS (Moses2, JOHN1) OR (Ransom3, Moses2, JOHN1) may have been the last child of Moses and Nancy or the first child of Ransom and Milly. She was born in 1825(?) in Virginia and had a child with an unknown partner about 1849 and was living with Wake County Moses and a child named for him in the 1850 Lee County, Virginia census. It is hoped that she was his daughter or granddaughter and not a much younger second wife. In Octobr 1858, Dr Boyd Dicknson, who fathered a child of Julia Ann Pendergrass, billed for medical services and attention to Jane while she was in jail.
Louisa Jane Pendergrass and an unknown father had the following child:
1.6.7.1 MOSES PENDERGRASS was born in 1849 in Lee County, Virginia, and has not been found in any record other than as a 10 month old infant in the 1850 Lee County census, living with his apparent mother Louisa Jane. in the household of widowed Moses Pendergrass. His paternity and life story are unknown. (not Moses, son of Cordy who died in 1852)
1.7.1 CORDY3 GOODSON ??? (Anney2 Pendergrass, JOHN1PENDERGRASS) was born about 1805 in the Sandy Creek area of North Carolina. He married Priscilla “Sillia” Coley on 14 June 1828 in Franklin County, North Carolina. She was born about 1809 in North Carolina. [Note: This connection is entirely speculative and should not be repeated unless verified.]
Cordy Goodson [???] and Priscilla Coley had the following children:
1.7.1.1. JOSEPH GOODSON was born about 1832 in Georgia.

__________Generation 4__________
1.1.1.1. ELLEN4 PENDERGRASS (Bennett3, Solomon2, JOHN1) was born about 1820 in Wake County, North Carolina (From unusually consistent ages given in all census records, her stated birth year was 1822 However a female living in the household with Bennett’s family in the 1830 census was born between 1815 and 1820 and there were no other female children, so one date or the other is wrong.).

Some of Henley’s older children were living nearby. In the 1920 census, no further children were listed. In 1930, although they were both listed as “daughters” of Henley and Anna (even Ernest M born 1932), it is unlikely that they were her children, as she was in her late fifties by the time they were born and unlikely that the couple would have named a second son Ernest. There were so many Ernest Dickersons born about the same time that it is very difficult to sort them.
James Henley Dickerson and Margaret “Peggie” Moseley had the following children:
1.2.7.9.1. MARY RENA5DICKERSON was born 14 December 1876 in North Carolina and died there 18 February 1945. Over the years, she lived with siblings and there is no record of a marriage for her.

1.2.7.9.3. IDA LONEY DICKERSON, born 4 September 1882 in Warren County, had married out by the 1900 census, so was easily overlooked by researchers. She died 30 June 1959 and is buried at Coley’s Crossroads in Vicksboro. She married her second cousin, William Green Pendergrass, on 7 April 1900. He was born 20 May 1879 and died 20 June 1947.

Some Ernest Dickerson married Elizabeth “Lille Belle” Dickerson, daughter of Lewis Green Dickerson and Mary Elizabeth Abbot on 7 January 1924 in adjacent Wake County, North Carolina and had a daughter Annie Mae who married and divorced Cecil Cheatham Pendergrass. It is possible, but not settled, that the Ernest M and Lillie B living with his parents in the 1930 census were James’ children.
1.2.7.9.7. HENRY DICKERSON was born about 1904 in North Carolina.
1.2.7.9.8. GEORGE DANIEL DICKERSON, born 25 December 1907 about 1905 in Warren County, North Carolina, died there 17 February 1960. He married his second cousin once removed, Maude Pendergrass, daughter of George Daniel Pendergrass and Maggie J Collier, in 1928. In the 1930 census they were living with her father, listed as his married daughter and son-in-law, with a one year old child, but the 1940 census says they were married 6 years and that she was first married at age 15 (to a Duke?) Maude was born 11 October 1910 and died 25 January 1997 in Henderson..
1.2.7.9.9. LAURA DICKERSON was born on 22 July 1909 in North Carolina and died in September 1995 in Vance County. She married her second cousin once removed John Edgar Pendergrass, son of James “Jimmy” P Pendergrass and Rhoda “Rodie” Lloyd, on 25 November 1932 in Vance County. He was born on 21 February 1913 in North Carolina and died on 17 April 1982 in Louisburg, Franklin County. In 1940, they listed three sons, no daughters, when Lellie B would have been 13, so if Lellie B was her daughter, she was living elsewhere.
1.2.7.9.10. ERNEST M DICKERSON [tentative] was born about 1924 in North Carolina and is listed here because in the 1930 census record he was named in the household as a “daughter” of James Henley Dickerson and Anna Short, though Anna was about 50 when he was born. Much information is available about the many Ernest Dickersons born about the same time in the area, but none proven to be Ernest M. This couple already had a son Ernest born about 1903 (?)
1.2.7.9.11. LELLIE/LILLIE B DICKERSON [tentative] was born about 1927 in North Carolina and is listed here because in the 1930 census record she is listed as a daughter of James Henley Dickerson and Anna Short, though this is unlikely due to Anna’s age and the gap in births after Laura. Nothing further has been found about Lellie/Lillie B.
1.4.1.5. SENETH4 PENDERGRASS (Warren3, Nimrod2, JOHN1???) was born about 1836 in North Carolina. She married George P or W Rowe, who was born about 1836 in North Carolina.

This Raleigh died for the Confederacy as a prisoner of war on 29 August 1864 in Point Lookout Maryland. “Polly” remarried Jacob Shew and in the 1880 census, her two daughters with Raleigh were listed with the surname “Shew.”. Since this Raleigh Jr was a grandson of the Raleigh who married Sally Horton in Wake and was born close in time to his cousin Raleigh, son of Bailey Pendergrass, and since both young Raleighs married women who were named Mary, and Raleigh Jr’s own mother was also named Mary “Polly” Brooks, the same name as his wife, it is very easy to confuse them.

Thirty years married would mean 1870, but Sally was still at home and apparently single in the 1880 census. Also in the household were three granddaughters and a grandson of John Henderson Pendergrass and Polly: Nancy E Pendergrass, born about 1865, Mary, born about 1867, “Gincy” born about 1874 and John born about 1877. At only 20 years of age, Elijah was too young to have fathered all but John, and while there are certainly other explanations, these four children could well have been the four children Sally said she had borne by 1900.[see below]

[See descendants of Donald MacDonald] He married (3) Dorothy Della Jewell, daughter of John Jewell and Florence Curtis, about 1930 in Kentucky[?] (date approximate, based on birth of last child with second wife and George Junior’s memory of his father taking off with Della). She was born on 15 April 1912 in Primrose, Lee County, Kentucky, and died on 29 May 1967 in Houston, Harris County, Texas,
At most reunions of his descendants, the attendees tell endless stories about him and wonder aloud how such lovely people as ourselves could possibly have sprung from the loins of such a selfish, heartless old rogue as George Washington Pendergrass, Senior.
At age 5, George somehow managed to burn down the family’s store, and as a young man, he sorely tried his father’s patience as he repeatedly got into various kinds of trouble and Daniel had to bail him out financially. and otherwise..
After the last child of his family with Marguerite Bartlett, [the first litter] was born, he took them to Fulton, Missouri to visit her parents, and once there he told the family he was going into town to buy the children new shoes. He never came back. According to auDNA results, he also fathered a daughter in Missourii during he first marriage.[see Appendix II],
Following his father’s oil money out to deep East Texas, he headed to San Augustine County where he somehow used the lure of his father’s wealth to convince Alma Tempest McDonald’s mother to give consent for her to marry him on October 31st, 1917 in Jasper, Missouri, when she was only twelve or barely thirteen years old. He was nearly 30 and was already married with four living children. Her father, James McDonald, was a bricklayer who was out of town working and was outraged when he returned home and found out what his wife had done. He took out after the couple to bring his daughter home by whatever means necessary, but by the time he found them, Alma was already pregnant with their first child, and the marriage could not be annulled. It must be reported that George, Sr, was physically and emotionally abusive to Alma.
George was very bright and read law, though he never went to law school, and he eventually became a judge in Lee County Kentucky. He was a dandy and a rounder who enjoyed wearing expensive clothing and he thought himself quite the ladies’ man. Once when Alma, very young but no one’s shrinking violet, was infuriated with him for a perceived affair, she took some scissors and cut one leg off each of his fancy silk suits.
After he had four surviving children with Alma [the second litter] and the couple was living in Beattyville, Kentucky, George decided that he was in love with the couple’s housemaid, Della Jewell, and he abandoned Alma and moved in with Della. One day when George took the older children to Della’s and declared that he was coming back for the baby and would go to court to get custody of all the children, George, Junior (the baby) remembered his mother pinning laundry on the clothesline while crying and seething with anger. She borrowed some weaponry from somewhere and went to Della’s house determined to retrieve her children. She was not a small woman and in the process of recovering them, she inflicted some serious physical damage on her husband, or as the tale was told, “she beat the livin’ tar out of ‘im.” George took himself down to the Sheriff’s office and tried to swear out an arrest warrant against her for battery, but, as the story goes, the Sheriff said, “George, if anyone in the world, ever had this coming to him, it was you” and the Sheriff refused to file charges.
At some point, though the exact details have been shrouded in secrecy, George absconded with Della and his judicial campaign fund and went to live in Houston, Texas. Fortunately, George and Della avoided becoming parents, though they did raise a number of chihuahuas. In Texas, George was cantakerous and got into several more serious scrapes.
At one point when he was very angry with Alma, George, Senior told George, Junior that he was not his father because his mother was unfaithful. This cruel remark weighed on George, Junior most of his life, though there was really no question of the relationship. No one wanted to tell George Junior that, as he got older, he was the spitting image of George, Senior. All the same, there was relief all around when YDNA testing proved beyond all doubt that George Junior was George Senior’s biological son. [Note: a sharp distinction must be made between George, Senior and George, Junior, the latter, perhaps having learned from his father’s horrible example, was himself an ethical family man and a faithful, respectful, and loving husband to his cherished wife, Caroline Joyce Brenneman, for 60 years]
Granddaughters in the family were cautioned never to be alone with George, Senior, and eventually he did bring some trouble on himself by making improper advances to a very young girl about 8 years old in his Houston neighborhood, though the trouble was headed off by family before it reached the level of criminality. He wrote inflammatory letters to editors, made himself generally unpopular, and insisted upon driving after he was far too old and should not have, blacking out at the wheel and causing an accident which is said to have killed innocent people.
When he was no longer able to care for himself, George’s second wife, Alma, who hated him and had refused to accept anything he had sent for the children because she was too proud to take anything from someone who had treated her so badly, arranged an apartment for him in her building in Beattyville and cared for him until his final illness, because, she said, it was “the Christian thing to do”.
His son, James Paul Pendergrass, wrote of him, “[He] was a smart self-educated Lawyer and County Judge of Lee County, Ky who had a deep and profound weakness for fast cars and pretty women. He never drank or smoked and had a good many fine qualities. He was a great sportsman and fisherman and had a lot of ability and it is my sincere belief that he could have been a great statesman had he chosen to serve his state rather than his selfish interests. When I was a young child it was not unusual for Governor Edward P. Morrow to walk into our home in Beattyville and say, ‘George, let’s go fishing’. Also there were many others of political importance who visited us at Beattyville. He abandoned both his first wife and his second wife and shirked his responsibility of rearing both his families. He left Beattyville with his third woman (later his wife) in the early part of 1932, while he was still the county Judge and went to Texas where he lived for over 45 years before he came back to Kentucky where he died, and is buried alongside his father and grandfather in the Pleasant Grove (Pendergrass) Cemetery in Owsley County, Ky.” My father carefully did not mention that when he left, he apparently took his campaiign fund with him.
On 30 March, 1976, in the hospital at Lexington, George Pendergrass, Senior, died reaching for a nurse’s breast.
George’s one saving grace was that he was extremely intelligent and had a fine memory, and as a young man he must have been charming to have gotten away with as much as he did. In his later years, my father took him in for a year or two and it cannot have been easy for his wife, Alice. When my father was buried in the Pendergrass family cemetery at Levi in 1980, there was one last plot available between my father and grandfather. I offered it to Alice, and she replied, “Karen, I would love to be buried with your father, but I’m damned if I will spend eternity lying next to George Pendergrass !”

1.2.5.5.1. RALEIGH BENJAMIN5 PENDERGRASS (Mary4Pendergrass, Raleigh3, Jesse2, JOHN1), born 10 December 1872 in Henderson, North Carolina, died 7 January 1940 in Warren County of cerebral apoplexy which endured for several days. He was buried in the New Bethel Cemetery in Vance County. He married Catharine “Cassie” Dickerson, daughter of Lewis Dickerson and Lethia C Perdue, on 18 October 1900 in Warren County. She was born in October 1877 in North Carolina.
Raleigh Benjamin is placed tentatively and numbered herein for convenience as a son of Mary Pendergrass, daughter of Raleigh Pendergrass and Susan Nuckles since it is certain that in one way or another he was their descendant and because the weight of the evidence seems to favor this conclusion. However, there are internal conflicts in the written records and some of those are at odds with the memories of some of his currently living descendants. Since he and Cassie had eight known children who themselves had many children, a discussion of Raleigh Benjamin’s parentage is merited.
First, his name is not given in full on any known document as Raleigh Benjamin, but this is the recollection of his descendants, borne out by his death certificate’s having listed him as R B Pendergrass and his widow as Mrs. R. B. Pendergrass. The death index listed him as R. P. Pendergrass and mentioned no family. In all other available records, he was listed as “Raleigh” spelled in various ways.
Raleigh first appeared as an eight year old child in the 1880 census, living in Haysville, Franklin County with his stated mother Mary Pendergrass, who declared him as her son and herself as a single woman, not widowed, divorced or married but living apart. Melissa Pendergrass, Mary’s single niece who was born about 1861, was living with the family and the family lived next door to the Lewis Dickerson household, which contained Raleigh’s future bride Cassie, born 1877 and 3 years old in 1880. It is of note that it was customary to name the first born son after his paternal grandfather and that Raleigh’s mother Mary Pendergrass was listed in the 1880 census as exactly the same age as the Mary Pendergrass who was living with Raleigh Pendergrass and his wife Susan Nuckles in the 1870 census as their apparent daughter.
In the 1880 federal census for Haysville, Franklin County, Mary Pendergrass, a single woman, her 8 year old son Raleigh and her niece Melissa Pendergrass were listed as family number 119, sharing dwelling number 115 with family 118, which consisted of Lewis Dickerson, his wife Lethia [Perdue], Lewis G Dickerson, 5, and Cassie Dickerson, 3, who later became Raleigh Benjamin’s wife. Living next door as a servant to a young Willis T Duke was Hardy (Hodge) Hayes, 48, who had married Lucy Pendergrass, child of Raleigh and Susan, in 1866. Lucy and the two of those children already born, Walter and Lula, were living nearby with her unmarried sister Harriett, at family number 114. Despite the legal record of the marriage, Lucy listed herself as single in the census. ( Various birth dates were given in documents for their third child, Fanny, but she was not listed as born by the 1880 census.)
If Mary Pendergrass, single mother, was in fact the daughter of Raleigh and Susan, then in 1880 she was living next door to her brother-in-law and four doors away from two of her sisters, Harriett and Lucy, who also listed themselves as single, although legally, Lucy was married.
In the 1900 census of Sandy Creek, Warren County, taken in June, Raleigh was living alone as head of household next door to a family of Dickersons and on the other side were the families of Henry [Clay] and Anna [Langston or Lancaster] Pendergrass and Ellis [Malone] and Abbie [Ayscue] Pendergrass. Henry Clay and Ellis Malone Pendergrass were the sons of Richard Jordan Pendergrass who was brother of the Mary Pendergrass who was the daughter of Raleigh and Susan. If Mary, the single mother of Raleigh Benjamin Pendergrass in the 1880 census was the same person as the Mary of the same age who was daughter of Raleigh and Susan in the 1870 census, then Raleigh Benjamin was living two houses from his first cousins, (Mary’s nephews). Otherwise, it is difficult to explain the proximity.
However, in October of that same year, Raleigh and Cassie’s marriage record gave her parents as Louis and Lethia Dickerson with no maiden name and Raleigh’s as James and Mary Pendergrass with no maiden name.The marriage index gave only the information of age, residence, race, and that they were married by a minister named Blackwell, which was also the surname of both witnesses to the ceremony. A thorough search of census and other records in the area, including marriage records, reveals no one with the name James Pendergrass who was born between 1825 and 1845 - in fact no James, Jim or J Pendergrass at all who was mentioned in 1870 just before Raleigh was conceived and none nearby when Raleigh was living with his single mother Mary in 1880, with one exception. James Luther, Pendergrass, son of Raleigh and Susan, was born in 1828 and had a wife who was also named Mary, maiden name unknown. Their only identified child, James “Jimmie” P Pendergrass, born in 1880, was living with his aunt Harriet, who in 1880 had been living two doors from Mary in the 1900 census.
Raleigh Benjamin Pendergrass’s death certificate quite plainly lists his parents as Ben (not James) Pendergrass and Mary Garrett. Later, his children’s death certificates uniformly and correctly listed their parents as Raleigh Pendergrass and Cassie Ann Dickerson, except for one. When Cassie Ann [Dickerson](Pendergrass) died widowed in 1970, someone had typed in her mother’s name as “Cassie ___? “. Later, a Ben Dickerson, who signed as informant, wrote (or someone wrote for him) the name “Garrett” in the blank as Cassie’s maiden name. Although Ben Dickerson was mistaken and Cassie Dickerson’s identity is well established, the question remains as to why Ben Dickerson chose that particular name and no other. Cindy Perry of the tightly intertwined Sandy Creek families, who kindly provided the image of Raleigh’s death certificate, states that the family has “always known” that Raleigh Benjamin’s mother was Mary Garrett, but is not certain of the basis for the belief other than the death certificate itself.
This conflict can be resolved in at least two different ways, each of which accounts for only some of the known conflicting records. First, a Mary Garrett not listed in any other records could have married and had a child with James Luther Pendergrass, or an unidentified James or Ben Pendergrass, though there is no record of such a marriage. This would account for the name change from Garrett to Pendergrass and a separation from that husband would account for her listing herself as a single mother. The two documents mentioning the Garrett name, together with the family tradition, cannot be discarded lightly.
The parentage of the teenage niece Melissa Pendergrass who was living with Mary and Raleigh Benjamin in 1880 would be significant in settling the issue but is so far undiscovered.
On balance, the argument for Raleigh Benjamin’s mother Mary Pendergrass as the unwed daughter of Raleigh and Susan seems stronger. In 1880, she was exactly the same age as Raleigh and Susan’s daughter Mary who was living with them in 1870 at age 34 and still unmarried. At least two of that Mary’s sisters had children out of wedlock or while separated. Mary Pendergrass listed herself as single in the 1880 census while declaring that she had an 8 year old son named Raleigh (her father’s name) and a niece with the Pendergrass surname. She and her son Raleigh Benjamin were surrounded by Raleigh and Susan’s children and grandchildren and their spouses and in 1880 lived only four households from sisters Lucie and Harriet. In 1900 Raleigh Benjamin Pendergrass was living next door to cousins who were adult married children of Mary’s brother Richard Jordan Pendergrass.
Inventing a father’s name for a marriage or death certificate to save face was a common occurrence for children of unwed mothers, and the conflict between the “James” of the marriage certificate and the “Ben” of the death certificate raises suspicion, especially since no one of either name can be located and no marriage record survives for a Mary Garrett.
Based on the best evidence available, the most likely explanation is the simpler one- that Mary Pendergrass, the daughter of Raleigh Pendergrass and Susan Nuckles, 36 years old and still unmarried, chose to have a child of her own out of wedlock and named him for her father, and that the Mary “Garrett” created for the death certificate was perpetuated within the family.
On the documents currently available, though, no solid conclusion can be reached, and it is hoped that some of Raleigh Benjamin Pendergrass’s living descendants will volunteer for DNA testing to assist in settling the question. Meanwhile, with that caveat, Raleigh Benjamin is treated and numbered herein as a grandson of Raleigh and Susan through their daughter Mary.

Paul always joked that he would be late for his own funeral, and that turned out to be true. After his first funeral in Tucson, his coffin was shipped to Beattyville for funeral and burial, but was misplaced at an airport somewhere along the way, causing the funeral to be delayed by several hours. Paul, this author’s father, was an enthusiastic genealogy researcher for the last decades of his life, contributing greatly to finding the descendants of Cordy Pendergrass and Manerva Thompson, as well as the McDonalds and allied families of East Texas, particularly the de la Renaudiières and Maxinilianos. Sadly, he did.not live long enough for YDNA testing, which he would so eagerly have done.
1.6.6.9.4.9. ERNEST EUGENE “KENTUCKY” PENDERGRASS, born 16 March 1923 in Beattyville, Kentucky, died 13 August 2013 in Santa Rosa, Sonoma County, California. He married (1) Jettie Alice Peugh, who was born on 3 March 1926 in Knox, Texas, and (2) Jeannie (Neerson.) Ernest was a larger-than-life, charismatic and essentially selfish man, who could be very generous and charming but could also be irascible to those who cared about him. He was successful in business and well known in social circles in Sonoma County, and when he was tried for murder and felony murder there in 1982, the trial had to be moved to another venue because he was friends with all the judges. In an interview at the prison in Vacaville where he was incarcerated for thirty years, Ernest said he was lured to the home of his girlfriend and her husband, to whom she had just returned, with the promise of a sit-down to discuss the situation, but that he went armed because he suspected a trap and returned fire through the front window when someone fired upon him. He was shot in the thigh as he sat in his truck before he returned fire, according to reports. In the mélée, the girlfriend was ostensibly killed by Ernest’s gun, though he swore he never would have shot her, and one of the men shot the other one by mistake, resulting in the conviction of Ernest for two homicides. It should be noted that newspaper articles differed somewhat from Ernest’s account, that the girlfriend had a restraining order against him, and that he admitted there was alcohol involved. During his years in prison, Ernest was well behaved and well respected, and a guard who was interviewed by this author said she owed him her life because he had risked his to rescue her when two prisoners held her hostage and were on the point of killing her. After years of devoted effort, his daughter Donna was able to secure his release on compassionate medical grounds after he survived several bouts of cancer. He was released in June, 2013, and was able to enjoy a few months of freedom and good food at her home before he died in August of that year. Whatever his faults and swashbuckling ways, to this author, Uncle Ernest was unfailingly loving and kind.)

George was in the Navy during WWII and later obtained a doctoral degree from Texas A&M. He was the source of much of the personal information about the family and enjoyed sharing his memories. During his last illness and many times before, Uncle George told this author, “I’ll outlive all them sumbitches”.He was greatly beloved and they are both greatly missed.
1.6.6.10.1. GROVER CLEVELAND5 PENDERGRASS SENIOR (Julia Ann4, Rev.

She was adopted into the family as an infant after having been abandoned on the porch of the Marshall family, a widow and two spinster daughters, in Georgetown, Kentucky. She was assigned the name Alberta for a judge and policeman, Marshall for the ladies who found her, and Scott for the county in which she was found, and was later legally adopted in Perry County while her adoptive parents were living there. Her biological parents were eventually proven to be William Robert Ferguson, born 14 October 1910 in Rockcastle County (son of George and Anna), who died 21 May 1986 and mother Elizabeth Wilson, daughter of J Hill Wilson and Mary Woford of Junction City, Boyle County, Kentucky. Jenniifer Willhite Keel, whose mother was a biological match to Blanche, worked tirelessly to make this connection. Blanche was troubled all her life about her biological family because loving her own children so much, she was unable to imagine how she could have been abandoned by her mother, but through DNA testing and research by Jennifer and others, she was able to know who her biological parents were and meet some of her half siblings before she passed away. Blanche married Clyde Evans in Owsley County and lived near the Pendergrass Cemetery at Levi, Kentucky and was for many years in charge of its care. She has been a great and beloved asset to the Pendergrass family, which did not know she was not our biological relative until she was in her eighties.

ADDENDUM I:
By right, Malissa Jane Burns/Pendergrass, fathered by Daniel Boone Carter Pendergrass with Malvina Burns, according to DNA, census, and secondary sources, should be numbered 1.6.6.9.1. as the first child of Daniel (when he was 15 years of age), but as there is no primary evidence of the relationship, and because her putative paternity was not discovered in time to renumber this entire chapter, she and her descendants are instead placed here at the end of the Wake John descendants, with their own numbering system. However, to follow Malissa’s paternal line backwards in time, see above 1.6.6.9.(Dan), then 1.6.6,(Cordy and Manerva) then 1.6. (Moses and Nancy) and then 1.(Wake” John and Hannah Pendergrass of Wake County, North Carolina.) Until March, 2019, Malissa was unknown to the other descendants of Daniel Boone Carter Pendergrass, and the fascinating story of her recent discovery can be found above at 1.6.6.9.

ADDENDUM II
There is a strong circumstantial case indicating that George Washington Pendergrass, Senior, had an out-of-wedlock child with Hilda Scholle in Missouri during his first marriage to Margaret Bartlett. This came to light in late 2019 as a result of recent autosomal DNA testing which showed matches of descendants of George, Senior, to descendants of Carl Scholl, Hilda’s brother, but no matches to anyone related to Carl’s wife, Amanda Maria Meyer, who acted as the child’s mother. Hilda and her brother Carl were among the nine children born to Friederich William Scholle, born 21 April 1849 in Hanover, Lower Saxony, Germany (son of Jobst Henry Scholle and Margaret Hensiek) and Florentine Maria Louise Weber born there 19 June 1858. Hilda, the youngest known child, was living with her parents in St Charles, Missouri, at age 18 in the 1910 census, but in the 1920 census she was working for the Swing family in St Louis as a servant. Although Hilda’s Ohio death certificate listed her as a widow, there is no record of a marriage for her, and she was still listed under her maiden name at her death in 1963.
George Washington Pendergrass, Senior, [see 1.6.6.9.4., supra for biography] was born 20 August 1888 in Levi, Owsley County, Kentucky, and died on 30 March 1976 in Lexington, Fayette County. He married (1) Marguerite Eldon Bartlett, daughter of Eldon Ball/Baugh Bartlett and Rhoda Christa Newland, on 20 Aug 1907 in Beattyville, Kentucky. Between the 1910 Clark County, Kentucky census, and the 1920 Prairie, Montgomery County, Missouri census, Marguerite’s parents and her younger siblings had relocated. It is not known how or when their son-in-law George Pendergrass met Hilda Scholl, then living in Saint Charles, Missouri when their apparent daughter was conceived, but he was the only male of his generation who was known to have had a connection to that area of Missouri. His only full brother Charles was away in the military and then lived in Virginia, and his half brother Sam Earlington died in infancy, leaving George, Sr as the only male Pendergrass candidate to have fathered Hilda’s child, who evidently was taken in by her mother’s brother and his wife as their own. This circumstance was unknown to Wilhelmina’s family until DNA testing showed she could not have been Amanda Meyer’s daughter.
Given George Pendergrass Senior’s lack of character and history of promiscuity, it comes as no surprise that he fathered an out-of-wedlock child with a young woman while married, nor will it be surprising if other such children are discovered in the future. It is not known whether the child, Wilhelmina, knew or suspected that she was not Amanda’s biological child.
1.6.6.9.4. GEORGE WASHINGTON5 PENDERGRASS Senior (Daniel Boone4, Cordy3, Moses2, John1) and HILDA SCHOLLE probably, but not provably, had the following child: [born just three months after Eldon, this child should have been 1.6.6.9.4.6. but was discovered too late to be included there, so is listed here with her own numbering system]
1.1. WILHELMINA M “DD”6 SCHOLLE, born 24 June 1913 in Orchard Farm, Missouri, died 10 September 2015 in St Charles County, Missouri. She married George J William Denningmann, born there 8 June 1904,died there 15 January 1974.
“Denningmann,Wilhelmina “DD” (nee Scholle) of Saint Charles, MO, died on Thursday, September 10th, 2015 at the age of 102. Loving wife of the late George Dennigmann[sic]; beloved daughter of the late Carl and Amanda Scholle; devoted mother of Elroy (Shirley Ann) Denningmann, cherished grandmother of Kurt (Suzanne) Denningmann and Carrie (Phil) Keipp, treasured great-grandmother of Chad, Adam, and Anna (Mitch Schneider) Denningmann, Philip (Katlin Stroer), Megan, and Mallory Keipp; beloved great-great-grandmother of Audimae Keipp, dear sister of Wilfred Scholle and the late Carl and Albert Scholle, and loving aunt and friend to many”.

Chapter 8, Decendants of “Buncombe”
John Pendergrass and Betsy Oliver
Although the provable facts about “Buncombe” John Pendergrass himself began with his birth in about 1768 and his first mention in an official public document in 1800, and although his parentage is unsettled [see Chapter 6D], the full telling of his and Betsy’s story should begin with her father, Benjamin Oliver and his father William Oliver.
In his revolutionary pension application,[8-A] filed 1831, Benjamin Oliver stated that he was born in May 1752 in Fairfax County, Virginia, an area now just to the southwest of Washington, D.C., and then moved to old Granville County, North Carolina as a child.1 Directly en route between those two points was Spotsylvania County and Saint George’s Parish, Church of England. From Granville County, North Carolina probate records and deeds, it is established that Benjamin was son of William and Elizabeth Oliver.2
Vestry books of colonial churches, since they contained financial records of the parish, have had a better survival rate than the church registers, which listed baptisms, marriages and deaths. Such is the case of Saint George’s Parish, in which some William Oliver is mentioned in three consecutive years in vestry records.3 The parish paid William 1000 pounds on 17 December 1756 for “keeping Thomas Moore, a poor man, for one year.”4 On 23 September 1757, he was issued a refund for having overpaid the annual parish levy.5 Twice more he was paid for keeping Thomas Moore for a year and again for six months, and, although the book contains records until 1817, the last mention of him there was 11 December 1758, probably referring to outlays for the previous year.6
Meanwhile, a tax list was taken in old Granville County, North Carolina, by John Martin, begun in September 1757 and listing those householders required to pay tax in his district.7 Some time after the list was completed and totalled, William Oliver’s name was added as an afterthought. Just above hm on the list, all of them free white males whose descendants later intermarried, were John Serug Askew and John Pendergrass. The exact date on which these names were added is unknown.
At the time William Oliver and John Pendergrass came into North Carolina, (John Serug Askew had been there for some years but evidently had changed districts) the process of obtaining a land grant was complicated and lengthy. After selecting a piece of vacant property and paying a fee, the would-be settler would enter a claim or apply for it by submitting a rough metes and bounds description to a government official who recorded it. If no opposition or legal caveat was filed within three months, a warrant was conveyed to a surveyor for completing a plat map. There was often a delay of several years between the entry and the warrant. When all was done, the plat map was recorded and the settler would receive the patent document, after which he was free to occupy, rent, or sell the land.
William Oliver obtained a land grant of 600 acres lying on both sides of the [Eaves] Mill Creek in old Granville County 8 with a metes and bounds description mentioning adjacent “Matthis’s line” and officially issued on 2 December 1760, recorded as Grant 157, Book 14, page 11.
About 18 months after his land grant was finally official, William Oliver was dead, leaving the following will:9
“In the name of God and in God’s name, amen, I being in perfet mind, sense and membrye thanks be to God for it I give my soul to God and my carkes to Earth coling to mind the mortalitey of this lief- knowing that I and all men must dy I think proper to dispose of my worley estate. Item: I give and bequeve to my beloved sun Benjamin Olliver the plantation whareon I live and all the land below the Mill Creek to Matthis’is line to him and eares of his body lawfully begotten and born and for want of such eares to my beloved dafters Mary Olliver and Lathee Olliver to them and thare eares forever. Item: I give and bequeave to my beloved dafters Sarah Olliver, Polley Olliver, and Milley Olliver all the rest of my land above the Meel Creek also be eakuelly divided betwext the three of them and thare eares foreaver. Item: I give and bequeave to my beloved wife Elizebith Olliver all my house hold goods and chattels, all my horses, cattel and hoggs in during her lief and at her desese to be divided among all my children and I leve my beloved wife Elizebith Olliver and Simon Beckham my hole executters as witness my hand and seals this twenty seaven day of May 1762.
William(X) Olliver, Witness: Wm Eaves, Henry Nixson”
Shortly after, in Granville County August Court 1762, the Clerk wrote: ”this will was proved by the oath of both subscribing witnesses thereto and on motion it was ordered to be recorded, then Elizabeth Oliver and Simon Bekhom the executors therein named qualified as such which was ordered to be certified. Teste: Dan’l Weldon CC”.
Benjamin Oliver’s inheriting his father’s plantation at such a young age was not unusual for the time, as a father often left the main house and land to the youngest son, who was most likely to provide a home for the mother and other children for the longest period of time. Ordinarily, the land could not be sold until the son reached the age of majority, and in this case, Benjamin did not sell his part of the plantation until he was about 34 years old. His mother Elizabeth was not again mentioned. There were other adult male Olivers nearby in various records but their relationship to William, if any, is unknown.
It is also unknown at what point Benjamin Oliver left the Eaves Creek area of North Carolina, but when he joined the Revolution at about age 25, he joined from Washington County, North Carolina,10 which at that time was territory on the western frontier of the state and not the present-day Washington County on the east coast.
When Benjamin Oliver was about 34 years old and residing in Laurens County, South Carolina, he sold the 175 acres of land he had inherited from his father William to James DeBord of Franklin County on 18 October 1786 for 133 pounds, 6 shillings, 8 pence in specie money and although it was in old Granville County when the original patent was issued, it was in the area that had become Franklin County by the time it was sold.11 The land was located on Eaves Mill Creek adjoining Persons’ land and was also described as being part of a tract of land originally patented by William Oliver. Witnesses were John Hogg and Roger Jones, and the deed recited that Benjamin Oliver was residing in Laurens County, South Carolina, at the time of the sale. Since there was no power of attorney mentioned and since Roger Jones also witnessed the next deed concerning this land several months later, it is evident that Benjamin personally travelled back to Franklin County to execute the deed of sale. It should be remembered that under his father’s will, Benjamin inherited only the portion of his father’s land which was located above Eaves Mill Creek in Franklin County and three of his sisters inherited the rest. Also, it should be noted that Eaves Mill Creek runs roughly northwest-southeast and is the next creek west of Linches Creek, which it joins at its southeast end. Linches Creek at Thornton’s (now Gill’s) Little Mill Creek was the location where Spencer (S)pendergrass, one of the three [or four?] adult Pendergrass householders who had arrived in old Granville County in 1755, had bought 100 acres of land from Jonathan DeBord in 1763 and sold one acre for a mill to Herbert Hight in 1772 and the rest, on the south side of the creek, in 1778.12
“Buncombe” John Pendergrass, wherever he was at the time, would have been about 18 years old when Benjamin came back to Franklin County to sell the land, but Benjamin’s daughter Betsy would only have been seven or eight and it is not known whether she was along for the trip.
Then, on 3 January 1787, James DeBord sold off part of the Oliver land to John Hight13 and the legal description was expanded to say, “100 acres on Eaves Mill Creek and the Great Branch adjoining Person, it being part of a tract of land bought of Benjamin Oliver.” Witnesses were Roger Jones, who had witnessed the deed in to DeBord, and John Hight, Jr.
Benjamin Oliver, then, spent most of his early life on land that was located within about four miles of the Sandy Creek Pendergrass men and Spencer’s land on Linches Creek. After he sold it in 1786 as a resident of Laurens County, South Carolina, he next appeared of record in the 1790 Pendleton County, South Carolina, census as one white male over the age of 16 (he would have been 38) with three white females, no ages given, and 2 white males under 16. As Pendleton County was formed in an unusual way in 1789 and included the area which had been Laurens County, it is likely that the boundaries changed rather than Benjamin’s own location, but by the 1800 census, he had made a physical move to Buncombe County, North Carolina, about 100 miles from county seat to county seat.
Since the 1800 Morgan, Buncombe County, census grouped householders by the first letter of their last names, it can only be said that Benjamin Oliver and family appeared on the same list as the John Pendergrass who by then was married to Benjamin’s daughter Elizabeth (“Betsy”) and no conclusion can be drawn about proximity of the two households. Benjamin Oliver listed himself as a white male 26-44 [actually 48?], a white female in the same age bracket, 2 white males and a white female 10-15, a white female under 10, and one slave unidentified by name, age, or gender. John Pendergrass and Betsy Oliver were each listed as 16-25 and with them were two white males under the age of 10, consistent with birth years of their known sons Benjamin and Raleigh (or Raleigh and Benjamin).
In 1803, Benjamin Oliver appeared on a Walton County, Georgia, census near his friend Ebeneezer Fain and John Pendergrass, all living on an “orphaned” strip of land disputed by the Cherokee Nation, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia.14 [Credit to S P Smith for this enlightening find]
The 1810 census placed these families back in Buncombe County, North Carolina. Benjamin Oliver and wife were both listed as over 45, with one white female 10-15 and one under 10, and five unidentified slaves. Near his father-in-law was “Buncombe” John Pendergrass, over 45, Betsy 26-44, 2 white males 10-15 [of the right age to have been Benjamin and Raleigh], 2 white males under 10 [Moses,Joseph] and two white females under 10 [Hannah, Mary]. “Buncombe” John held no slaves at that time, but did in later records.
On 5 October 1813, “Buncombe” John applied for 50 acres of land located on the east side of the middle fork of the French Broad River, which bisected (and still bisects) Buncombe County roughly from North to South. The warrant was issued 29 November 1814.15
On 12 February 1816 John purchased 200 acres,16 again on the French Broad River, from John Atkins, selling 40 acres of land to William Galloway on 29 March 1821 and another 300 acres to William Gillespie [Galloway?] recorded 1 July 1823.17
In the 1820 Buncombe County census, Benjamin Oliver, by then about 68 years old, appeared as a householder over 45 years of age, with a white female also over 45, wife Elizabeth A [Beckman?] , a white male and white female each 26-44. “Buncombe” John has not been located in any 1820 census, although he sold land in Buncombe County in 1821.
By 1830, the two households were in separate locations. Benjamin Oliver had either moved further west into Macon County, or was living in the small area where the two counties overlapped when Macon was formed, while John and Betsy were living in Jackson County, Alabama, with their growing family. In the North Carolina Oliver household were Benjamin and wife, both 70-80 years old, one white male 40-50 and three slaves- one male and one female each 10-24 and one male under the age of 10, who appear to have been a young couple with a small male child, but this is only one possibility.
Meanwhile, in 1830 Jackson County, Alabama, John Pendergrass reported himself as a head of household 60-69 years old, Betsy 50-59, and children of the right ages to have been Hannah (20-29),Phillip (15-19), a female 15-19 (Anna M or Kesiah?), two females 10-14 (Elizabeth, Margaret), and one male 5-9 (John M). In June 1831, John obtained a land grant in adjacent Marshall County (where several Spencer Pendergrass descendants also settled) of about 24 acres.18
Still in Buncombe County, Benjamin Oliver, about 82 years old, executed an affidavit in support of his friend Ebeneezer Fain’s revolutionary pension application19and began an application for himself without filing it. In about 1835, he joined his daughter Betsy and her husband John Pendergrass in Marshall County, Alabama. Appearing in the 1840 census there, John and Betsy reported that they were each 60-69 years old with a white female in the household 20-29, and one white male and one white female, 15-19.
Benjamin’s sworn application for a revolutionary pension, shifting from first to third person randomly, and signed in Jackson County, Alabama, outlined his service as follows:20
“ On this 23rd of October, 1839 personally appeared in open Court, before the Judge of Orphans Court for said County now in session. Benjamine Oliver a citizen of Marshall County in said State who being first sworn according to law, doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress passed the 7th day of June 1832 & saith that he was eighty seven years old on the ___ day of May & that he was born in the County of Fairfax, Virginia & was in his infancy removed and raised in the County of Granville North Carolina; that in March 1778, he volunteered from the County of Washington North Carolina, in the company of Capt Valentine Sevier & attached to the Regt of Col Charles Robinson & served a three months tour against the Cherokee Indians & marched as far as the Chickamauga Towns on the Tennessee River; this tour was performed by water from the Long Island; & when we reached the Indian Towns they had abandoned them there we stayed some time after burning the Town & what grain was on hand, we scoured the Country in search of the Indians found some few dispersed, of which several were killed - from the Chickamauga Towns we returned home on foot & were
disbanded during which period of service he was engaged in no civil employment whatever. Again in June 1779 - he was drafted & went into the service of the United States for three months in the company of Capt Valentine Sevier & attached to the Regiment commanded by Colonel Chas Robinson & marched across the Yellow Mountain, where we met an express from Colo McDowell to reinforce him on Broad River where he lay but shortly before been attacked by the British & Tories; we then marched hastily to his relief & remained for the term of our engagement; during which time we had a skirmish with a flying part of Ferguson’s Army in which some four or five [of] his men were killed and two taken prisoners. We returned when our tour of service had expired & during which term of service he was engaged in no civil employment whatever. While he was in the service he knew Colo Charles McDowell and Col Clark of Georgia a refugee who joined McDowell after we had been some days with him. He further saith that he obtained a discharge for his first tour here mentioned; but which has long since been lost or destroyed, for the second he obtained none & that he does not now know of any person living by whom he can prove the services rendered -
And he further saith that [he] would have made this application in the County of residence, but could not obtain there the necessary aid in forming his application.
He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present & declares that his name is not on the pension Roll of the Agency of any State in the united States.
Sworn to and subscribed to the day & year aforesaid in open Court.
Benjamin Oliver [signed shakily but in full.]
Test: Moses James, Clerk CC”
Daniel Bohannon, Benjamin Pendergrass (Benjamin Oliver’s grandson), and Thomas Pate attached affidavits in support of the application. Daniel and Benjamin signed, Thomas Pate marked.
A few months later, Benjamin Oliver filed a supplement to his original application:
“State of Alabama, Jackson County: Personally appeared in open Court before me Thompson M. Rector Judge of the County Court in and for said County & State, Benjamin Oliver who after being first duly sworn makes the following deposition amendatory to his application now on file in the Pension Office of the United States & saith as the reason why he did not apply earlier for a Pension, that in 1833 he had his application made out in Buncombe County North Carolina, was at the time in easy circumstances & could live well without such aid & neglected to forward that application: this was at the time that Ebenezer Fain made his application & to which this deponent was a witness. Shortly after 1833 he removed from North Carolina & became unsettled in his habitation & views; until about 1837 when he removed to & settled in Marshall County, Alabama, where he had not been long settled before he was cruelly imposed upon & stripped of the larger & best portion of his estate – that he is now too old to support himself by manual labor & asks of the Government that boon, which would under other circumstances been rejected by him.
Thompson M Rector, Judge
Benjamin Oliver
Sworn & subscribed to in open Court this [third?] day of April 1840”
On 1 January 1837 in Marshall County, Alabama, Benjamn executed a deed of gift to grandaughter Hannah Pendergrass, conveyng to her a Negro man named Enoch, 22 years of age. Witnesses were Hannah’s brother Raleigh Pendergrass and John T Oliver [recorded 21 December 1837]21
By a document dated August 23, 1840, Benjamin Oliver appointed John B Norris of the city of
Mobile as his agent to receive his pension payments, but he died before any pension was paid to him. On May 4th, 1842, the Treasury Department issued a certificate authorizing the (adult) children of Benjamin Oliver to receive the pension due him at the rate of $20 per annum from March 4th, 1831 to September 7th, 1840, the date of his death. There was a finding dated November 27, 1840, by a justice of the peace that “Joseph Oliver, 53 and Betsy Oliver, wife of John Pendergrass,62, William Oliver, Sarah Aikins & Rachael Oliver are the children of Benjamin Oliver.” 22
Another document dated July 30, 1842 under signature of Moses Jones, Clerk of the Court of Jackson County, Alabama, recites that “Nelson Robinson, who after being first duly sworn, saith that he is informed & believes that William Oliver & Sarah Pendergrass two of the children of Benjamin Oliver deceased have departed this life cents the 27th of November 1840 – that Sarah Aiken & Nancy Lewis did about the latter date mentioned reside in Buncombe County North Carolina & that for the last 12 months he has sought information of & from them but without success, he has not been able to hear from them – Rachael Morton he is informed & believes removed in the fall or winter of 1842 [to] Missouri or Arkansas, he has endeavored cents to obtain information from her but has not been able to do so – That Raleigh Pendergrass of Marshall County Alabama is the Administrator of the said Benjamin Oliver deceased duly commissioned & qualified.”23
On October 24, 1840 in Jackson County Alabama, Raleigh Pendergrass & Joseph Pendergrass, both of lawful age, gave testimony that Benjamin Oliver of Marshall County Alabama died on September 7, 1840 leaving the following children as his heirs at law: Elizabeth Pendergrass, formerly Elizabeth Oliver, William Oliver, Sarah Aikins formerly Sarah Oliver, Joseph Oliver, Rachael Morton formerly Rachael Oliver, Nancy Lewis formally Nancy Oliver, all of whom were of legal age. Benjamin’s children eventually received Benjamin’s veteran’s pension at the rate of $20 per annum commencing March 4th, 1831, for his six months service as a private in the North Carolina militia.24
Originally, “Buncombe” John was in charge of collecting and distributing the Oliver benefits, but at some point before his death in about 1844, his sons took over that task.
It should be noted that many researchers have placed “Buncombe” John as a son of “Wake” John and Hannah Unknown purely on the basis of his children’s names, which are eerily similar to “Wake” John and his family - John, Hannah, Benjamin, Raleigh, Mary, Moses - but there is no known document linking the two. Recent YDNA testing adds weight to this theory, as a “Buncombe” John descendant was an exact match to descendants of both “Wake” John and Spencer. [See Chapter 6D]. Several AuDNA matches bolster this placement as well. Buncombe John was born somewhere during the years when “Wake” John and Hannah’s children were being born in old Granville, Bute, and Warren Counties, North Carolina, on Sandy Creek as the county names changed around them.
__________Generation 1__________
1. “BUNCOMBE” JOHN1PENDERGRASS was born about 1768 in North Carolina, from his stated age of 72 when applying for pension benefits on behalf of Benjamin Oliver’s heirs in 1840, but earlier census records average his birth year as about 1771, not an uncommon interval of error. A verified direct male descendant of Buncombe John was an exact YDNA match to verified Wake John and Spencer descendants, but John’s parentage is as yet undocumented. Although no marriage bond or record has been located, he married Elizabeth “Betsy” Oliver, daughter of Benjamin Oliver, about 1795, probably in either Pendleton County, South Carolina, where Benjamin Oliver was living, or Buncombe County, North Carolina where he had located by the 1800 census. The marriage date is approximate and extrapolated from the ages of their two older sons Benjamin and Raleigh, but the marriage was confirmed in revolutionary pension records of her father, Benjamin Oliver. She was born about 1778, probably in South Carolina, her age extrapolated from census records, and her stated age of 62 in her father’s pension application. Her death date is stated by various researchers as 28 May 1849 or 24 Jan 1842 in Marshall County, Alabama and that she was interred in Kirbytown, but this is unverified. John left 1844 estate records. [8-B][8-C]
It should be noted that “Southerland” (below, as an allied family) is not a particularly common surname and there was a Southerland family which lived near and intermarried with “Wake” John Pendergrass descendants in North Carolina.
“Buncombe” John Pendergrass and Elizabeth “Betsy” Oliver had the following children:
1.1. BENJAMIN2PENDERGRASS,born about 1797 in Buncombe County, North Carolina, (extrapolated from 1800 census record),died 28 October1847 in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, Mexico, killed in the War and leaving several minor children who received his military benefits.24 He married Martha Elizabeth [Clampet?], who died in 1842 in Marshall County. .
1.2. RALEIGH2PENDERGRASS was born about 1799 in Buncombe County, North Carolina, and died in 1880 in Randolph County, Arkansas. He married Mary Unknown who was born about 1799 in Alabama..
1.3. HANNAH PENDERGRASS,born about 1801 in Buncombe County, North Carolina, died after 1850. She appeared in the 1850 Marshall County, Alabama census still unmarried at age 49 and living with her sister Mary’s family.
1.4. MARY ANN PENDERGRASS was born about 1803 in Buncombe County, North Carolina, and died on 3 March 1869 in Marshall County, Alabama. She married Irvin Bohannon, who was born about 1799 in Georgia.
1.5. MOSES PENDERGRASS was born about 1806 in South Carolina, as reported in two separate census records. Since his parents were living in Buncombe County in 1800 and 1810, it is not known how he came to be born in South Carolina, though the area was frequently in dispute. In the 1880 census, his children who survived until then did not seem to agree on where he was born, some listing North Carolina and at least one Tennessee. In any event, his parents’ residence during his childhood was Buncombe County, North Carolina. He married Judith “Judy” A Carter about 1825 in Tennessee. She was born there about 1806. Both removed to and died in Smith County, Texas, he in 1868.
1.6. JOSEPH F PENDERGRASS,born about 1809 in Buncombe County, North Carolina, died on 10 September 1876 in Marshall County, Alabama. He married Sintha/Cynthia Unknown before 1826 in Tennessee. She was born about 1810 in Georgia and died about 1880. .Joseph stated in his application for reimbursement for 250 bushels of corn, 700 bundles of fodder, 650 pounds and then another 275 pounds of beef that was taken from him during the War, that he had four sons in the Rebel Army but he gave them nothing when they went in because “I was opposed to them going and done all I could to prevent it”25 However, he stated that he later sent two of them boots and socks because he had learned that they were going barefoot. He travelled for days to bring home one of his sons who was wounded and he lost two of his sons, Phillip “Henderson” who died in 1862 and Nathan Finley Pendergrass, who was killed in 1864, while serving in the war that Joseph had opposed their joining. Additionally, his son Moses Wiley lost his lower left leg in the war.
Despite his loyalty oaths, protests that he tried to stop his sons from joining the Confederacy, receipts for the goods and witnesses who verified his losses, his claim for repayment was denied.
1.7. KESIAH PENDERGRASS, born 30 January 1811 in Buncombe County, died 13 March 1884 in Freestone County, Texas, married Daniel Bohannon, born 1805 in Georgia. He signed an affidavit supporting Benjamin Oliver’s pension.
1.8. ANNA M. PENDERGRASS, born 1813 in Buncombe County, died in Quitman, Texas. She married Henry Southerland, who was born 1816 in North Carolina and died in Quitman, Wood County.
1.9. PHILLIP PENDERGRASS was born on 9 February 1815 in Buncombe County, North Carolina (Birth year based on 1840 census and verified birth years of the other children).In 1840 he was listed as born between 1811 and 1820, his wife the same and three little girls under 5 in the dwelling. He died on 10 November 1855 in Smith County, Texas. He married Minerva Caroline Southerland in 1836, born about 1820 in Jackson County, Alabama, and died in Smith County, Texas.
1.10. ELIZABETH PENDERGRASS was born about 1818 in Alabama and married Joseph Southerland, who was born about 1819 in Alabama, on 29 February 1844 in Marshall County.
1.11. MARGARET PENDERGRASS, born 18 May 1820 in Alabama, died 1 March 1885 in Edom, Van Zandt County, Texas. On 3 April 1836 in Marshall County, Alabama,she married William H Rains, who was born about 1812 in Kentucky.
1.12. JOHN MARSHALL PENDERGRASS, born about 1819/20 Alabama, married (1) Letty Rains in Marshall County 12 December 1836, and (2) Margaret Langhorn 15 January 1849, born about 1819 in Tennessee. There is considerable confusion, as census records show him to have been quite young to have married in 1836, but his brother Phillip was his bondsman and other members of his family married Rains family members, so the identity seems solid. Also, older brother Benjamin signed a marriage consent for him 12 December 1836. His marriage bond itself was signed (marked) John Marshall Pendergrass. Accordingly, his birth year has been adjusted here to 1819/20. Also, John Marshall’s brother Joseph F had a son John Mitchell Pendergrass, usually called Mitchell, but who added to the confusion by signing as John M Pendergrass.
__________Generation 2__________
1.1. BENJAMIN2PENDERGRASS (“Buncombe” John1) was born about 1797 in or near Buncombe County, North Carolina, (extrapolated from 1800 census record) and died on 28 October 1847 in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, Mexico, killed in the War. He married Martha Elizabeth [Clampet?], who died in 1842 in Marshall County, Alabama. Their children’s birth dates are approximate due to conflicting records.
Benjamin Pendergrass and Martha Elizabeth Clampet ? had the following children:
1.1.1. MARTHA JANE OR C3PENDERGRASS was born about 1823 and died in April 1923 in Marshall County, Alabama, without living to marry.
1.1.2. TELITHA PENDERGRASS was born about 1825 in Alabama.
1.1.3. PATIENCE C or J PENDERGRASS, born about January 1826 in Alabama, died on 2 January 1916 in Calhoun, Arkansas. She married Nathaniel Lee, born about 1826 in South Carolina, on 2 April 1848 in Marshall County, Alabama. .
1.1.4. JASON CALVIN PENDERGRASS was born about 1827 in Alabama, and married Jane Unknown [Benton?], who was born about 1824 in Tennessee.
1.1.5. SARAH MARIAH PENDERGRASS was listed in two census records as born about 1828 in Kentucky, though siblings just before and after her were born in Alabama. She married John Mincher in 1850 in Georgia, though he was born about 1824 in Tennessee. He fought for the Confederacy from Georgia and was killed with many others in Yorktown, Virginia, when Union soldiers made a raid on their camp. Sarah Mariah, despite her various locations, is placed here because after the death of her husband on 11 December 1861, she was listed under her married name with all but one of her children, “Alex”, in the 1870 Jackson County, Alabama census living next to apparent sister Hannah Caroline Pendergrass (Willmon) and Sarah Mariah’s son, William Alexander “Alex” Mincher, was living next door with the Willmon family as a hired hand.
1.1.6. MATTHEW WILLIAMSON PENDERGRASS I, born 1829 in Alabama, died about 1869. He married Catherine Phillips on 3 January 1849 in Marshall County, born 1831 in Georgia and died about 1880 in White Oak, Arkansas, .

1.1.10. MARGARET ANN PENDERGRASS was born about 1835.
1.1.11. GILBERT BENJAMIN PENDERGRASS was born about 1840. In his father’s military death voucher (only), he was listed as Albert B due to an apparent clerical error, but he did reverse his two real first names in various later records.
1.1.12. DANIEL P PENDERGRASS was born about 1842 in Alabama and died in March 1850 at age 8 in Marshall County, Alabama of pneumonia, not having lived to marry.

Raleigh Pendergrass and Mary Unknown had the following children:
1.2.1. WILLIAM R[ALEIGH?]3 PENDERGRASS was born about 1820 in St Clair County, Alabama, and married Celia Jane Ramsey on 13 November 1855 in Hempstead County, Arkansas. She was born about 1837 in Kentucky.
1.2.2. SARAH A PENDERGRASS was born in May 1823 in Alabama and in 1861 married Andrew Jackson Burns, who was born on 29 November 1834 in Bibb County, Alabama, and died on 14 November 1888 in Alabama.

In the 1880 census, the children listed were John born 1874, William born 1877, and Edward born 1879. In the 1900 census, the children still at home were William, born September 1878, Margaret in December 1882, Wiley in August 1980, Evergreen in January 1893, Oliver in August 1894, and Nancy, the last child born to her, in June 1897. All her children were born before 1900 and all but John and Edward were with her in the 1900 census. Edward Columbus “Lum” had just married on 1 February 1899, and had his own household. and John and Jane were the parents on his death certificate. John S married out in 1894, and did not die until 1931. His death record also lists John and Jane as his parents, as did William’s. The other six children were alive in 1900 for a total of 8 living, and Sarah Jane died before the 1910 census..Records conflict wildly as to the names and birth years of these children, so the reader is cautioned to research them independently. This author is frankly baffled as to which child had died before 1900 when all eight seem still to have been alive. Although it is certainly possble that the census taker simply made a clerical error, or a child had recently died, it would be an odd mistake to make.

Descendants of Donald McDonald and Maria Luisa Maximiliano, Exotic
Forebears of Alma Tempest McDonald (Pendergrass) and the Second Litter
A: Descendants of Donald McDonald, Scotsman of Ontario, Canada
Although it is not possible to trace back the ancestors of each person who married into the Pendergrass family through the centuries, Donald “Uncle Mac” McDonald and those related to him by birth or marriage have such interesting and culturally varied histories that omitting them would be to cheat their descendants of an unusual and delightful portion of their heritage. While nearly all those mentioned in this book sprang from Western European and British Isles immigrants into Virginia who travelled westward in the normal migratory patterns, many over the Cumberland Gap into Kentucky and west from there, this old “Texian” did not follow the normal Appalachian pattern, nor did the ancestors of his first bride.
Donald MacDonald/MacDonell and his first wife’s de la Renaudière forebears are the only known individuals in this line who were almost famous, and the de la Renaudières the only provable ones who were even close to having been “peers of the realm”.
Although listing Donald’s downline will cause duplication of many descendants of George Washington Pendergrass Senior and his second wife Alma Tempest McDonald (the “second litter”) in the “Wake John” section, and will not apply at all to others who descend from George Sr through his first wife Margaret Bartlett (mother of the “first litter”), Donald MacDonald is one of our very few predecessors to have made it into the history books. In fact, so much is known about him once he reached Texas, and he was so well documented there, that it is difficult to believe that his exact birthplace and parentage, as of this publication, still have not been located, despite trips to Canada to assail tartan- kilted men with swabs.
Donald McDonald/McDonnell was born somewhere in Upper or Western Canada [now Ontario], as he stated in each Texas census record which asked the question, and on December 23rd, 1788, according to his 1884 obituary in the Houston Daily Post. Other sources list his birth date as January 23rd, 1789. Since he was a lifelong Catholic, his birth should have been recorded in early church records of the time, but such published records began some twenty years after his birth, and the few unpublished records are so disorganized that the churches in Ontario are not inclined to grant access.
In an effort to identify Donald’s parents, several MacDonald/MacDonell men of Glengarry County, Ontario, where many of the Catholic Scots first settled, consented to submit YDNA samples for comparison to Donald’s known descendant, James Marshall McDonald, whose results show clearly that he was indeed a MacDonald but a few markers off from each tested group. Other than his descendants and known relatives, the closest match to date has been to a Jim McDonald in London, whose forebear was born in Charlottenburg, Glengarry County, Ontario, and who shares a common ancestor with men who descend from Donald “Bhoir” MacDonell, born about 1736 in Camuscross, Sleat, Isle of Skye (but well documented and with no known son named Donald). Another match is to a gentleman whose Scottish-born McDonald ancestor first resided in Nova Scotia and then in Massachusetts. However, all that is actually known of “Uncle Mac”s parents besides his birth date is that in the 1880 San Augustine census someone listed their birthplaces as “Scotland”. Whoever answered the census taker’s question, however, also said that Donald himself was born in Scotland, which was untrue. He did, however, throughout his life consider himself a Scot, and it is assumed from his birthplace and religion that he spoke Gaelic as well as English.
All that is known of his early background is that almost all Catholic Scots in Ontario were clustered in Glengarry County, and almost all were either immigrants from Western Inverness in Scotland or had crossed into Canada from the Mohawk Valley of New York when the American Revolution made their situation there unbearable.1 Those latter men, many of them prominent MacDonalds, who abandoned their settlements in the colonies rather than rebel against England, are today revered in Canada as “United Empire Loyalists”.2
A second wave of Scots into Glengarry County, Ontario came as a result of cruel highland clearances and other political and religious pressures in Scotland. A group of well-placed MacDonald “factors” - ranking just below the Chief - chartered a ship in 1786 and filled it with their kinsmen by blood and clan allegiances, and made the voyage to Canada. After considerable hardship, these passengers eventually settled in the Charlottenburg area and were given land grants there which are well documented.3 The problem for those researching MacDonalds/MacDonells there is not the inability to find them, but rather in finding so many with the same small pool of first names that it is incredibly difficult to tell them apart. In fact, the researcher who arrives in Glengarry County with the announced intention of searching for an ancestor named Donald Macdonald is greeted with peals of friendly laughter at the absurdity of trying to find just one particular Donald among the many.
It should be noted that although a fuss is sometimes made over whether each Glengarry, Ontario family now spells and pronounces its name, MacDONald or MacDoNELL, both are from the same genetic stock and the spelling difference is as much a matter of geography as lineage. Our Donald’s name was spelled a variety of ways in various documents over the years, including both of these, as well as McDaniel. His Texas descendants tend to spell it McDonald. All spelling variations may be presumed to be included under the traditional “MacDonald” or “McDonald” spelling in this chapter, to save space.
From his birth in 1788/9 to the Battle of Lundy’s Lane on July 24th, 1814, [9-A][9-B] Donald’s slate is nearly blank to us. At about the age of twenty-six, according to at least one of his Texas biographers4, he was a Captain [Sergeant?], and went into combat with a company of some 80-odd men in that battle fought near Niagara Falls – the bloodiest ever fought on Canadian soil – and came out of it with only fifteen remaining, and those taken as prisoners of war.5 Identifying him as an individual combatant on the muster rolls of that battle is difficult, not because he wasn’t on them, but because there were so many Donald MacDonald/McDonnells listed that it is impossible to say for certain which one he was. In fact, three Donald MacDonalds enlisted for the War of 1812 at the town of Cornwall in Glengarry County, in less than a month..6
After painstaking research and the elimination of as many other Donalds as possible, the closest candidate to being the Donald MacDonald who went to Texas some years later was a Sergeant in the Glengarry Fencibles who was taken prisoner at the Battle of Lundy’s Lane and was kept by the American forces until he was exchanged in Halifax, Nova Scotia, the following March, 1815.7 There is no record of a Donald MacDonald taken prisoner during that battle who held the rank of Captain, so among the possibilities are a later promotion or even an exaggeration on his part or, more likely, by his Texas biographers8.
Several Donald Macdonalds received grants of land in exchange for their military service in the War of 1812, but it is not known whether the Donald who later came to Texas was one of them.
At some point between his release in 1815 and the year 1824, he made his way by some unknown means to the Louisiana/Texas border on the Sabine River,9where he met and married the first of his three wives, Maria Luisa Maximiliano D’Arze y Simms. It has been stated elsewhere that he travelled overland through Georgia, obtaining a passport from the Governor, but the Georgia passports are extant and complete, and there has been no evidence found of any passport issued by Georgia to any Donald MacDonald by any spelling. The only possible MacDonald found in Georgia census records was still there thirty years later. (Other branches of his descendants were told that he had travelled through Tennessee.)
It is not known where the idea of an overland trek through Georgia arose, though my own father was among those who voiced it. It would have been much more practical for Donald to have travelled by water from Canada down the Mississippi River to the area where he settled, but there is no record of it.
In any event, he had made his way to the no man’s land between Louisiana and Texas by 1824 and was married (1) to María Luisa Maximiliano, daughter of Juan Ignacio Maximiliano D’Arze, (himself son of a Spanish military sergeant who died young) and [Marie] Françoise de la Renaudière, a descendant of Philippe de la Renaudière, a French mining engineer whose life and descendants are outlined in the next section. [Chapter 9-B] ). María Luisa was also daughter of Anastacia Simms, herself daughter of Richard Simms of Bristol, England and María de la Concepción Pérez of Béxar County, Texas.[Chapter 9-B]
On September 24th, 1834, in his “character certificate” (application for permission to settle in the Mexican territory of Téxas), Donald stated that he had been born in Upper Canada, that he was head of a family of five.10 The exact composition of the family and whether he included himself as one of the five is ambiguous, but indicated that he had at least three children by 1834 and therefore had been married sometime no later than about 1826, his bride a native of Sabine County, Texas, where the marriage most likely occurred. Her parents were of prominent families residing at or near Fort Natchitoches, Louisiana.
At the time, Catholicism was also a strict requirement for residence.11
A quick and nearly accurate overview of Donald McDonald’s life can be found in his obituary written by a newspaper man who knew and liked him: The Houston Daily Post printed his obituary on May 8, 1884, [p3 column 5] stating
“The old veteran Donald McDonald, whose severe illness was mentioned in my last to the Post, died on the evening of the 2nd instant and will be buried today at the family burying ground south of town, about five miles. Uncle Mac, as he was familiarly called, was a good man, and after a life spent in the service of Texas and her interests he has gone to his rest, having lived 95 years, 4 mos, and 10 days. He was a Canadian by birth, and a Scotsman by descent, and baptized a Roman Catholic and died in that faith. He was a British Soldier at the battle of Lundy’s lane, and after peace he became a citizen of this government, Coahuila and Texas first, then the Republic of Texas and afterward the State of Texas. To the flags of all he was true and faithful. He was fifty years a member of the Order of A. F. &A. Masons, being a member of Red Land Lodge #3, at this place, after his death a member of Rising Star Chapter of Rising Arch Masons hero at his demise. While he never renounced the faith of his church, he adhered with an extreme devotion to the principle of Free Masonry. He was honest, brave and generous, and was always in line when necessary to uphold and vindicate the right and the law. After nearly a century’s devotion he has been gathered to his fathers.”12
A brief biography of him in the Handbook of Texas gives more details and a conflicting birth date:
. MCDONALD, DONALD (1789–1884). Donald McDonald, commissioner, political representative, soldier, and sheriff of San Augustine County, was born on January 23, 1789, in West Canada. He served as captain in the British army during the War of 1812 and participated in the battle of Lundy’s Lane on July 25, 1814. He immigrated to Texas about 1826 and, in partnership with Wyatt Hanks, built a sawmill and gin near the site of present San Augustine that provided Ayish Bayou with lumber. For a year or two afterwards he operated a ferry for James Gaines on the Sabine River. McDonald was a representative of the Ayish Bayou District at the Convention of 1832 and the Consultation of 1835. He was appointed with Samuel S. Davis and William Nash as a commissioner to enlist volunteers for the Texas army under John G. Love, primary judge, and was a volunteer in Capt. William Scurlock’s company. McDonald was a master Mason, a charter member of McFarland’s Lodge, and Worshipful Master in 1847. He was sheriff of San Augustine County for two terms, 1856–60. About 1830 he married Maria Louisa Maxmillion, with whom he had five children. He married Martha Lomax on February 22, 1843, and they had one child. On January 30, 1854, he married Elizabeth Hightower; they had no children. McDonald died on May 2, 1884, and was buried in the Farrar [now Parker] Cemetery, six miles south of San Augustine.13
The Biographies of the Texan Conventions and Congresses, 1832-1845 published the following:
: “ McDonald, Donald, member of the 1832 Convention from the Ayish Bayou District, was born in Canada, January 23, 1789. Fighting on the side of the British in the War of 1812, McDonald was a hero of the Battle of Lundy’s Lane. He settled in the southwest part of San Augustine County, on his arrival in Texas; became a partner of Wyatt Hanks in a sawmill that furnished Ayish Bayou with lumber; and for a year or two kept a ferry on the Sabine River for James Gaines. During the Revolution in 1836, McDonald served in Captain William Scurlock’s Company, for which service he received a bounty land grant. Elected sheriff of San Augustine County in 1856, he served two terms, this being his last public service before his death, May 2 1884. Ninety-five years old at this time, McDonald had been a Mason for fifty years, a Catholic, and a citizen of Canada, the United States, Coahuila and Texas, the Republic of Texas, and finally of the State of Texas. He was buried five miles south of San Augustine”14.
In his flavorful, politically incorrect, often violent, often funny, and rather bloodthirsty “Personal Narratives of the West”, John Salmon “Rip” Ford described the Old Texians, who had gathered to honor General Sam Houston on the 4th of July, 1836 in San Augustine:
“In the assembly which greeted General Houston were men of note. Colonel James Bullock, who commanded the Texians in 1832 when they expelled the Mexican troops under Colonel [José de las] Piedras from Nacogdoches, and Colonel Alexander Horton, one of General Houston’s aides at San Jacinto, were there. One splendid old soldier must not be omitted: Donald McDonald was captain of a company, on the British side, at the battle of Lundy’s Lane [during the War of 1812]. He went into the fight with eighty odd men and came out with fifteen. Colonel S. W. Blount, a signer of the Texas Declaration of Independence, was also present, if memory is not at fault.
These gentleman of eastern Texas are mentioned to show the kind of men constituting the class since called “Old Texians”. A more candid, friendly, and hospitable population never occupied any country. A stranger was not allowed to pass a house without being invited to stop. No difference how long a guest remained, provided he minded his own business, he was entertained free of cost. If he asked for his bill, he was told a repetition of the inquiry would be taken as an insult. The coffee pot was on the fire at nearly every house in the country from daylight to bedtime. A visitor was invited to take a cup - a refusal was not taken in good part
Energy, bravery, a practical view of all matters, self-reliance, moderation,and a disposition to act in concert with their fellow citizens were the characteristics of the early settlers. Danger menaced them unceasingly, rendered them cautious, and moulded them into soldiers. Having to take care of themselves gave them an idea of what their far-off neighbors needed to make them comfortable and to protect them. Thus they acquired correct ideas of what was necessary to preserve order and give adequate protection to person and property. Many of those common-sense men rose to the full height of soldiers, legislators and statesmen” 15
In 1824, Donald was operating Crow’s Ferry on the Sabine River between Texas and Louisiana. Much earlier, in 1794, the ferry had been built by Louis Chabinan/Sharben and his wife Marguerite La-Fleur. In 1796, Louis was drowned after being kicked into the Sabine by a horse, and Michael Crow married his widow.16 The death was found to be suspicious and Donald’s future father-in-law Juan Ignacio Maximiliano and his uncle Juan Pifermo were summoned to testify at the murder trial.17 Crow continued to operate two ferries on the Sabine until he sold the southern one to James Gaines about 1819.18
Donald was a recruiter, but also personally fought with the local militia on 2 August 1832 at the Battle of Nacogdoches,[9-F, G] first battle of the Texas Revolution, alongside his wife’s brother John/Juan Maximiliano III, in which the citizenry resisted a July order by the commander of the Mexican Army at Nacogdoches to surrender their arms.19 The conflict was part of a greater revolt by the Mexican Federalists against the central government, which many Texans initially supported. As fighting progressed, the Texans took possession of several of the town buildings, including the Old Stone Fort, and the Mexican Army evacuated during the night.20 For his valiant service, Donald in 1835 received a bounty land grant of 4,428 acres in Jasper County adjoining Sabine.21 He appeared on the census in that year as head of household.22
His second marriage to Martha Lomax occurred in San Augustine on 22 February 1843,23 and one son was born of it. He appeared in the 1846 residence schedule24 and the U S census of 1850, in which his birthplace was listed as western Canada, and living with him were no wife, but all his children, including his married daughter Mary, her husband Joseph Miller and their first two children. Also living there was Thomas Lomax, born 1836. Donald held one unnamed black male slave, 13 years of age in that year. He was also on an agricultural schedule in San Augustine County, and on 30 January1854 in San Augustine County, he married his third wife, Elizabeth Hunter (Hightower), who brought in her own children.25
In the 1860 San Augustine census, his occupation was Sheriff (1856-60) and his birthplace was listed as Canada West. Apparently widowed a third time, he had sons John and David living with him. In the 1870 San Augustine County, census his birthplace was again listed as Canada West and living with him were his son John and daughter Nancy McDonald (Hightower) and her three sons Alexander, William and James. In 1880, someone else answered the census taker for Donald “McDaniel”, who was listed as blind by that year, and both he and his parents were said to have been foreign born in Scotland, which in Donald’s case was not true, though he was ever proud of his Scots heritage.
He stubbornly maintained until his dying day that the British prevailed over the Americans at the Battle of Lundy’s Lane, though in reality both sides had grievous losses and no one was victorious.26
His death occurred after a brief but severe illness on 2 May 1884 and he was buried in the Farrar or Parker Cemetery, six miles north of San Augustine. A modern marker has been placed on his grave by his descendants, and although he was said to be buried beside María Luisa,27, no marker for her exists there.
The bare statistics of his life are inadequate to describe Donald’s extraordinary life, however. His survival to the age of 95, given his warrior history, is in itself something of a miracle.
Note: As the spelling of names evolved in later generations from de la Renaudière to Lonadier and everything in between, it became very difficult to search databases for information about this family. Researchers should check indices for all possible spellings, in M, Mc, D, L, and R sections of documents being searched and in the index of this book. As settlers moved from Louisiana into East Texas, their names were frequently translated into Spanish for a time and then later Anglicized. For example, Jean le Baptiste Ignace de Léger dit Piedferme in Louisiana became, first, Juan Ignacio Piefermo in Texas and later just John Pifermo. It should also be noted that it was the custom in French, Spanish and other Catholic families to begin official religious names with a Saint’s name, so that one family might contain, for example, half a dozen girls with the first name Mary - Marie Louise, Marie Agnès, Marie Françoise, Marie Claire, and so on, with the “Marie” dropped for most of them in everyday use. For boys, a similar custom was followed in French with Jean (frequently Jean le Baptiste) and in Spanish with José - Jean Paul, Jean Pierre, José Luis, José Antonio and so forth. Surnames were frequently misspelled and eventually shortened by this process, as well, with de la Renaudière from France becoming Lonadier in Cajun country of Louisiana and Maximiliano shortened, sadly, to Maxey in East Texas]
It should also be mentioned that, while married French women generally kept their maiden names for life, in Spanish speaking countries the naming custom was somewhat more complicated. A child would be given a “first name” perhaps consisting of a Saint’s name and another name, but considered all one first name, e.g. José Luis, or Juan Pedro or María Luisa, and then given his or her father’s first surname (apellido paterno) followed by his mother’s first surname, (apellido materno), though in rough and tumble East Texas, with its rich mix of languages and cultures, such miceties were often disregarded.
Donald MacDonald and Maria Luisa Maximiliano D’Arze had the following children:

Descendants of Sieur Philippe de la Renaudière and Demoiselle Perrine Pivert
From the later marriage record of their daughter Agnès, it is known that Philippe de la Renaudière was a native of the Périgord in the Aquitaine region and current Dordogne province of France in the mid-Southwest, and that Perrine Pivert was a native of Vitré, Bretagne, in the North.1 [9-K] How they met remains a mystery, but they were married no later than 15 November 1718, when they appeared on the ship’s log of the Compte de Toulouse,”being a list of the employees of the Company of the West, miners, soldiers, tobacco workers, concessionaires, and their people and others”.2 Fifth on the list of those set apart at the top were Sieur Renaudière, Clerk of the Company and Conductor of Mines and his wife, [demoiselle Perrine Pivert.] Not listed were any children of the couple or their port of embarkation.
By 1719, Philippe and Perrine were in place at Fort Kaskaskias,[9-M] in what is now Illinois abutting Missouri, where Philippe was in charge of lead mining operations. As observant Catholics, they were godparents for several baptisms there. On 10 February 1721, Perrine was godmother at the baptism of the infant Pierre Chabot, on 22 June 1721, Philippe was godfather to Philippe, a Pawnee child and to Fauchon, a Pawnee slave, and on 1 July 1721, Philippe, styled “director of mines” was also godfather to a small slave five or six years old and named for him.3
On 7 July 1721, their own son Charles, born on July 3rd, was baptised with Charles le Gardeur de l’Lile and Agnès Phillippe as godparents. At the time, the couple was socially prominent and mentioned often in parish and civil records.4 [9-R]
Philippe was listed as having been owed a debt of sixty livres from M, LaFrance in succession records of Fort Chartres [9-L] on 1 April 1723 and on 3 September the birth of their daughter Marie Françoise and her baptism a few days later were noted in the parish register; godparents were Giradot, officer, and Françoise LaVigne Rivert.5 On 23 August 1723, not long before his expedition with de Bourgmont, Philiippe penned a “memoire relating to the discoveries of mines”, still extant but unavailable to this author in original form, Excerpts from this writing were translated and printed in Our Lead Belt Heritage by Henry C Thompson.6
“Renaudière later on opened or operated a lead mine near the Negro Fork of the Meramec (Big River) in Washington county, which was granted with Mine LaMothe to Renault later. This place is described as ‘Cabanage de Renaudière’. Condensing his document and using only such statements as prove that he actually mined at Mine La Motte and on the Meramec before Renaud was there, we find ‘it is about fourteen leagues from Kaskaskia to the mines of M. de la Motte’...’in some places the mineral is only one foot below the surface, as one begins to dig, going down to the rock, where pieces of lead weighing from 20 to 30 ounces may be found’ ....’We have penetrated this rock about seven feet: the lead is disseminated in it. I worked it and found a little silver.’ He continues a mineralogical description of the ore and gives his estimate of the quantity that could be mined. He then goes on to say, ‘The distance between the mines of M. de la Motte and those of the Maramet is about fourteen leagues...these last mines are very rich in lead. They produce as much as 80 per cent; the mines have the same exposure to the wind as those owned by M. de la Motte, which are from east to west. I can not tell the exact size of the veins; there are some small ones which are in sort of grooves, from which you would in one day, procure two thousand of mineral from a hole from four to five feet deep by fifteen in length’. This last is probably the first disclosure of the vast mining field of the Potosi district and the one that Renault later was to make productive, along with his mining at Mine la Motte.5 [9-N]
Philippe was listed as an employee “under order from the council” with a salary of 600 livres per annum on a payroll list dated 8 March 1724. This shift in his employment status may have been the beginning of his loss of favor because he was not enormously sucessful in his lead mining endeavors and was eventually replaced by the similarly named Philippe Renaud/Renault (who got better press)7
Lead mining was an arduous undertaking in which the galena was dug out of the earth by strip mining, often done by African or Carribbean slaves the French thought were better suited to endure it. Once removed, the lead was smelted into bars and taken to St Geneviève to be shipped downriver.8 [9-O,P]
On 9 May 1724, Philippe was one of the witnesses at the wedding of Pierre Derene and Françoise Robert, widow of the deceased Pierre Donelier.9
Then, in July 1724, he joined the expedition of Etienne de Véniard, Sieur de Bourgmont, as a scribe on the journey to make peace and trade agreements with the plains Indians. Bourgmont had a colorful history as a juvenile deliquent who was ejected from France and was sent to Canada, where he joined the miilitary, but was blamed for an Indian attack on Fort Ponchartrain (now near Detroit) and with his damaged reputation escaped to the wlderness where he became a notorious and powerful figure among the Indians. He becamse the King’s personal envoy to negotiate peace between the French, Pawnee, Oto, Kansa and Padouca (plains Apache) Native American tribes.10
French historians believe the journal of the expedition was written by mining engineer Philippe de la Renaudière. The handwriting of his signature at the bottom of the document seems to match the writing of the journal entries. The story also seems to be written by a well-educated person and someone who was present daily. Besides Bourgmont himself, La Renaudière is the only member who fits that description.11
The expedition was divided into two parts, the detachment commanded by ensign of the garrison
Monsieur de Saint-Ange, with two of Philippe’s employees, departed by boat (pirogue) on 25 June 1724 with the intention of meeting up with the second contingent, which left by land on July 3rd, headed by Bourgmont himself, accompanied by Philippe, soldiers, Canadians, Bourgmont’s servant, 100 Missouri Indians and 64 Osage Indians and their various war chiefs.12 The journal, which recounts the daily activities of the expedition - its entertainments, feasts, and speeches by the Indians, the trading of goods, horses and slaves, the illnesses and deaths from fever and those who were bled by Bourgmont in an attempt to cure them, the hunts for deer and buffalo, the drying of meats, the rôle of the Indian women, and the treaties reached - is far too voluminous to be reproduced here, but a translation to English can be found online.13 On 5 November 1724, the remains of the successful expedition returned to Fort d’Orleans and was greeted with rejoicing that peace had been made with the Padouca. The certificate of the expedition was signed there by Philippe and other dignitaries “in the Missouri country” on November 15th.14
Bourgmont proceeded to New Orleans, and the fact that Perrine had no birth registered and that Philippe did not appear in records during that time suggest that perhaps he went along. However, he did not accompany Bourgmont to France, as on 1 June 1725 at Fort d’Orleans he witnessed a notorial record of an agreement between Nicolas Michel Chassin, councilor and storekeeper, and Sieur LaPlume.15 Bourgmont did not return from France until 1726.
In a census ordered to be taken on 1 January 1726 but not concluded until some time later, de la Renaudière was listed as a head of household with unnamed wife and two children (matching the parish register) with no domestics, no slaves and no designation of cleared land. On the same list was Renaud/Renault, who was unmarried with 1 domestic, 20 Negroes, and 100 arpents of cleared land, laying to rest any argument that the two successive mining engineers were the same person.16
At about the same time, the Provincial Council, by which Philippe had been employed, was disbanded, and there is only one further mention of Philippe in surviving Kaskaskia records. On 17 October 1727 a Fort Chartres succession record stated that an inventory was taken of the estate of the late Sieur Pierre Girard, who had died at the home of Sieur La Renaudière and whose goods were in La Renaudière’s possession.17
By 1 May 1728, Philippe and Perrine had relocated south where Philippe was again summoned as a witness about a New Orleans estate. “At the instance of Mr. Claude Herpin, attorney for Mr. Perraut, Sheriff Dargaray notifies Messrs Perillaux, de la Renaudiere, Joseph Milon, and Christophe Rozimonde to appear tomorrow morning at 9 a.m. before Mr. Brusle to testify concerning some concealed...stolen goods of the Rottot estate”18 The last known mention of Philippe was in another New Orleans court record dated 9 November 1728, in which the recorder, Mr Roussard, served notice on Sieur de la Renaudière to pay the sum of 99 francs, outstanding on a bill of sale.19
The family then disappeared from records until 1734 when Perrine, widowed, appeared with the children in Fort St. Jean Baptiste des Natchitoches, Lousiana, a French military outpost on the Red River founded in 1714 for trade with Spanish colonial México, to prevent Spanish forces from crossing from Texas, and named for a nearby village of indigenous people.20 The earliest settlers there were French Catholics and those of French and Spanish families born there, at that time called “Créoles”(not the current usage of that term.) The original fort was destroyed but a replica has now been constructed at Fort St. Jean Baptiste historic site on Cane River Lake a few hundred yards from the original site.21 [9-Q]
Natchitoches became an important trade center and established dealings with Native American tribes of the three Caddo Confederacies, which aided in linking commerce between the French, Spanish and Native Americans of the region.22 St. Denis, who was appointed commandant in 1722 until his death in 1744, sometimes appeared in records with Perrine and her children.
Perrine’s social status and financial abilities apparently diminished after her husband’s death, as so often happened to widows who did not immediately remarry. Despite her late husband’s advanced education, she herself and all their children were illiterate, shown by the fact that they marked rather than signed documents. After Philippe’s death, Perrine still held a few slaves and had them baptized Catholic.23

Witnesses were de Corbie, René du Bos and Alorge.”25”
Marie Françoise, who was already widowed at age 16 when she remarried, quickly had two children with George Avenal baptized before disappearing from records completely. Since her husband was a soldier, they may have been deployed to another area or country, or even back to France.

“26 June 1744, Jean Baptiste Charles [Avenel] born 24 June, legitimate son of George Avenel and Marie Françoise Larnoidier, habitants [residents of the parish]. Godparents: Charles(X) Larnodier and Elizabeth Rachal”26
On May 5th[?] 1740 the Natchitoches marriage record of Perrine and Philippe’s daughter Agnès gave the only known evidence of their origins in France. The parties first entered into a formal marriage contract on May 3, 1740: Guillaume Bergeau — soldier of the garrison at Natchitoches; son of deceased Nicolas Bergeau and Jeanne Viger; native of the parish of St. Sulpice, diocese of Xaintes. Agnès Renaudière — daughter of deceased Philippe Renaudière and Perrinne Pivers. Witnesses for groom: Remi Poisot; Pierre Bernardin, soldier of the garrison at Natchitoches. Witnesses for bride: Perrinne Piperst[Pivert] her mother; Charles Renaudière, her brother; Marie Françoise Renaudière, her sister; Jean Lagée; Etienne Chagneau. Signed: X Groom; X Bride; X Mother of the bride; Jean Lage; X Pierre Bernardin; Poisot; X Etien Chagneau; Duplessis, notary. Then; two banns had been published and the couple was granted a dispensation from the third. “Marriage of Guillaume Bergereau dit St Onge, native of Jeannai in St Onge, Parish of Suplice, son of Nicolas Bergereau, native of Jeannai and Jeanne Vigere, of Saintaur, parish of St Brie of the same province...and Agnes Regnaudiere, native of Illinois, post of Kascatia [Kaskaskia], daughter of Philippe Regnaudiere, native of Perigord and Perine Pivert, native of Vitré in Bretagne. Witnesses: Etienne Chariot, Jean(X)Lage,Remi Poisot, Pierre Bernardin” and others.27
Agnès and her husband soon moved downriver to Post Pointe Coupée by 1744, where they lived in the False River district until she was widowed in 1762 and married Hiacinte Ferret.28 None of her Natchitoches family sponsored or acted as witness at the second wedding, but her presumed brother Philippe Renadier, had been godfather to her daughter Marie Elisabeth Berjeron on 4 November 1744 in Pointe Coupé.29 Her father Philippe was deceased, and the timing of the children’s births would account for a son with Philippe’s name as the last child born to Perrine and Philippe [Sr]. Nothing more has been discovered about Philippe [Jr.]
During these years, Perrine made legal transactions which were recorded in notarial records but for which the original documents are missing. In 1740, she and Robert Avarre formally exchanged unnamed slaves at Fort Natchitoches, in 1741, she sold slaves to Gabriel Buard, and in 1745 she purchased undescribed land as Perrine Piver, widow Renediere, from Pierre Rachal.30 This was her last known mention.
In November 1747 Perrine and Pierre’s eldest child, Charles, had a child of his own, Marie Clémence, baptized at the church in Natchitoches.31
On 1 February 1751, Charles was discharged from regular military service in Louisiana and in the 1766 census, he was listed still at the fort of Natchitoches, as head of household with a wife, [later identified as María del Río or Marie de la Rivière, from Los Adaes], 2 boys and 3 girls still at home, no slaves, 3 firearms, 6 horned cattle, 3 horses, 10 hogs, no sheep, 600 twists of tobacco, 25 measures of unshelled corn, and 2 measures of beans32 Between 1773 and 1774, Charles died, leaving the widow Marie/María, who promptly remarried Jacques Hubert on 19 March 1774. Charles left a small estate and a large family, the children of which were placed in the guardianship of their mother and her son-in-law:9B?

Marie Jeanne la Rivière/María Juana del Río was widowed a second time and removed to Nacogdoches district, in deep east Texas where she was listed on the 1795 census of Sabine County, at stated age 80, living with her daughter [Marie] Clémence and son-in-law Jean Baptiste Piedferme/Juan Pifermo, who had obtained a large land grant there. She was not found in the 1803 census.34
Descendants of Charles de la Renaudière remained in the area of Lower Louisiana settled by French colonists in the late 1600s, and intermarried with Louisiana French “Cajuns” (les Cadiens or les Acadiens), an ethnic group tracing its roots largely to the influx of Acadians from French speaking Canada and northern Maine who were expelled by the British in the 1750s just prior to the Seven Years’ War.35
Although the dialect actually predates their arrival, Louisiana “Cajuns” have become famous for their unique French dialect, called Louisiana or Cajun French, and their colorful culture and folkways, music and cuisine. As time passed, the lovely de la Renaudière name gradually shortened and evolved to become “Lonadier” and there are still those of that name in Cajun Country today.
After Charles’ death by 1774, his widow, with their daughter Marie Clémence de la Renaudière, her husband Jean Baptiste Ignace Leger dit Piedferme (who were childless) had relocated to deep east Texas, where Piedferme became known as Juan Pifermo and was granted four leagues of land which had formerly been owned by Gil Y-Barvo/Barbo and which contained his rancho, called El Lobanillo.36 Taken along to Texas with the family was the apparent only son of Charles and Jeanne la Rivière’s daughter Marie Françoise and her husband Juan Maximiliano D’Arze, both apparently deceased by then. Juan Ignacio Maximiliano D’Arze was informally adopted by Clemence and Juan Pifermo, who inherited Lobanillo from them at their death.37 [9-E]
Since it is of historic importance, and since the two families were intertwined later, a word about Lobanillo’s original owner is warranted. Antonio Gil Y’Barbo, was son of Mathieu Antonio Y’Barbo [now more commonly Ybarbo] and Juana Hernández, colonists sent by the Spanish government from the Province of Andalucía to the Province of Texas in 1725.38 He was born about 1729 in Los Adaes, Louisiana, as was Juana del Río/Jeanne de la Rivière who married Charles de la Renaudière, said to have been born in 1715 but likelier a bit later. Gil Y’Barbo married María Padilla and the couple settled Rancho Lobanillo on Lobanillo Creek in an area that is now Sabine County.39 [9-E]
Later, when the presidios and missions of East Texas were abandoned and Spain evacuated colonists (willing or not) from western Louisiana and East Texas, Y’Barbo used Lobanillo as a refuge for his ailing mother and other refugees in 1773.40 Y’Barbo became the leader of the displaced persons and the Spanish government bestowed the titles of lieutenant governor and civil and military captain of militia upon Y’Barbo and appointed him judge of contraband, but there were complaints of corruption against him such that he resigned in 1790. In 1791 he was accused of smuggling contraband goods into Nacogdoches and of trading with the Indians for horses stolen from the Spanish.41 He was cleared of the charges but forbidden to return to Nacogdoches - a town he had rebuilt - and eventually returned to Louisiana. After the death of his first wife on September 24, 1794, Y’Barbo married Maria Guadalupe de Herrera on January 25, 1796 in San Antonio de Béxar. 42 After living in Louisiana a few years, and having lost most of his property through lawsuits by his children and others, he returned to Nacogdoches where he died at his home, Rancho La Lucana, on the west bank of the Attoyac River, in 1809.43 Some of his descendants still live in the area.
Lobanillo was an important stop on the Old San Antonio Road west from Louisiana and it was formally granted (four leagues of land) to Juan Ignacio Pifermo/ Piedferme in 179444 and inherited by his nephew John Maximillian (Juan Ignacio Maximiliano D’Arze) about 1778 at the death of Pifermo and his wife Clémence.45 They had married in Natchitoches on 4 January 1770 and were listed on the 1790 census of Nacogdoches district (later Sabine County), he at age 51, “Clemencia” Larnodier, 47. nephew Maximillian, 14, and one unmarried Negro slave.46 After the 1794 land grant including Lobanillo, the earliest known grant in Sabine County, the household appeared in several later Nacogdoches district census records. In 1795 Pifermo’s age was given as 56, his wife María Clemencia, 49, Maximillian 16 and José 24 (called servants) Juana del Río (Jeanne la Rivière) 80, and one unmarried Negro slave, 56.
In 1803, Pifermo (who by then had acquired the nickname “Chichi”) was described as a Frenchman 64 years of age, his wife Marie Larnodie,“Spanish Indian”, 49 and “son” [Maximiliano] 22 and four unnamed slaves aged 62, 5, 25 and 24. The following year, Pifermo and wife both stated that they were from Natchitoches and had been farmers in residence for 13 years. On 31 May 1809, Pifermo’s age was given as 70 years old, with wife 55, living on Rancho Chichi, named for the Arroyo de la Aqua [del Agua?]. They claimed a residence, grist mill, a granary, two houses for the Negroes, fields of wheat and corn, and another ranch called Lobanillo. Also in the household were nephew Maximillian Arze, 28, his wife Anastacia Sims, 21, servant Antonio, born in Natchitoches, slaves Louis, 21, born in Guinea, Pompay 16, Citen and Marcelino born in Nacogdoches, two female slaves from Guinea named Francisca, 31,and 40, and a servant, Acosta, 73.
Marie Clémence executed a touching will written in French 28 July 1817 in contemplation of imminent death, and said that Pifermo made a cross for her as she could not write. All property [of both ?] was left to nephew John Maximillian in recognition of his devotion to them.
“I, Marie Clementine L’Arnaudiere, a native of the Post of Nachitoches, Province of Louisiana, do certify and declare by this document that, being confined to my bed as a result of an accidental [random?] illness, through the infinite grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, am of sound judgment, full knowledge, and memory and will, that I was married by the rites of the Holy Church to my husband, Jean Ignace Piedferme; that I affirm by this document that, there having been no children born of this marriage, for that reason I have reared one of my legitimate nephews, named Maximilian D’Arce from infancy, that he has served during the space of twenty years he has looked after my interest with the greatest fidelity and exactitude, without benefit of the salary justly due him, that finding myself today on the eve of appearing before the Tribunal of God to render account of my actions, that I name him, in recompense for the work that he has performed, as my sole and absolute heir to all the goods and assets acquired by my husband and myself; that I am confident that said nephew will execute these duties with the same fidelity that he has shown up to the present, and I declare null and void any other will. [Here the words and meaning are not clear due to the age of the document] 28 July 1817. Because of my not knowing how to write my husband has made a cross for me; the witnesses being Pedro Esparza and Jose Antonio Rodriguez.”47
Juan Ignacio Maximiliano (D’arze), who inherited Lobanillo, was born 1 July 1782 in Natchitoches Parish, Louisiana was baptized on 4 July as the “natural son of Francisca Larenaudiere and a father who has not declared himself.”48 Godparents were (childless) Juan Ignacio Piferme (Jean Ignace Piedferme/John Pifermo) and Magdalene Larenaudiere, sister of Françoise. His father, Juan Maximiliano D’Arze was Sergeant of the Spanish first batallion, stationed at Natchitoches in 1783, and the couple married and legitimized their child on 13 January 1784.49 They evidently did not live to rear their son, as from a young age he was informally adopted by his aunt Clémence and her husband. He relocated to Texas in about 1789 per his Nacogdoches district census record of 1809, though his aunt and uncle reported having moved there in 1791. In the 1809 census, he reported himself as 28, a married farmer born in Natchitoches, and wife Anastacia Sims, 21, (1793-1825) also born in Natchitoches. They had a log house on Lobanillo, horses, mules, and 36 hogs, but no children were yet listed, though they shortly after had at least four. About 1834 in San Augustine County, according to the 1835 census, Juan Ignacio Maximiliano d’Arze was married for the second time to much younger Clare Unknown, born about 1802. Although Juan/John Maximillian obtained land in Harrison County, Texas on 5 January 1854, he and Clair/Clary were living across the water in Sabine County, Louisiana in the 1850 (John age 72) and 1860 (John age 78) censuses. In 1860, Juan/John held 5 slaves and his son Joseph/José held three. Juan Ignacio Maximiliano D’Arze/de la Renaudière died about 1866 in Bayou See.50
Note: As the spelling of the name evolved in later generations from de la Renaudière to Lonadier and everything in between, it became very difficult to search databases for information about this family. Researchers should check indices for all possible spellings, in D, L, and R sections of documents being searched and in the index of this book. As settlers moved from Louisiana into East Texas, their names were frequently translated into Spanish for a time and then later Anglicized. For example, Jean le Baptiste Ignace de Léger dit Piedferme in Louisiana became, first, Juan Ignacio Piefermo in Texas and later just John Pifermo. It should also be noted that it was the custom in French and Spanish Catholic families to begin official religious names with a Saint’s name, so that one family might contain, for example, half a dozen girls with the first name Mary - Marie Louise, Marie Agnès, Marie Françoise, Marie Claire, María Luisa, and so on, with the “Marie” dropped for most of them in everyday use. For boys, a similar custom was followed in French with Jean (frequently Jean le Baptiste) and in Spanish with José - Jean Paul, Jean Pierre, José Luis, José Antonio and so forth. Surnames were frequently misspelled and eventually shortened by this process, as well, with de la Renaudière from France becoming Lonadier in Cajun country of Louisiana and Maximiliano shortened to Maxey in East Texas]
It should also be mentioned that, while married French women generally kept their maiden names for life, in Spanish speaking countries the naming custom was considerably more complicated. A child would be given a “first name” perhaps consisting of a Saint’s name and another name, but considered all one first name, e.g. José Luis, or Juan Pedro or María Luisa, and then given his or her father’s first surname (apellido paterno) followed by his mother’s first surname, (apellido materno), though in rough and tumble East Texas, with its rich mix of languages and cultures, such rules were often disregarded.
Also, at the time of their migration into East Texas, the early settlers were required to be or become Catholic and to sign oaths of allegiance to México, also later disregarded.
[Note: This author is greatly indebted to the works of Elizabeth Shown Mills, whose excellent research on this family sadly was not discovered until after her own was completed, but whose corroboration of the accuracy of this author’s own research was reassuring. Also, Ms Mills’ meticulous citations were greatly appreciated.]
Descendants of Sieur Philippe de La Renaudière and Perrine Pivert
__________Generation 1__________
1. Sieur/Sir PHILIPPE1DE LA RENAUDIÈRE was born about 1690 in Perguaux[?], Le Périgord, France. Since his wife Perrine Pivert was called his widow in the summer of 1734 at Nachitoches Post, Louisiana, he died between November 1728 and 1734 in Louisiana Territory, now the state of Louisiana. He had married demoiselle Perrine Pivert [possible daughter of Pierre ? Pivert and Michelle ? Brault ?], before 15 November 1718 in France, as they were married prior to embarking for Louisiana on that date. She may or may not have been the same Perrine Pivert born 24 February 1695 in Vitré, Bretagne, as a birth record does exist in Notre Dame de Vitré, Bretagne, France, where it is known that the Perrine Pivert who married Phillippe de la Renaudière originated, but not for certain whether this is she. She died before 1763 in what is now the state of Louisiana. At the time their children were being born, this couple was living at Kaskaskias Post, which was located in the Louisiana territory but is now in Illinois just east of the Missouri line. Later, they lived at Natchitoches Post , which was located on the Red River before the river shifted its course, and is now located on Cane River Lake in Natchitoches Parish, Louisiana.
Sieur Philippe de La Renaudière and (demoiselle) Perrine Pivert had the following children:
1.1. CHARLES2 DE LA RENAUDIÈRE was born on 13 July 1721 in Kaskaskias Post, Louisiana Territory and died between 26 September 1773 and 19 March 1774 in Natchitoches Parish, Louisiana, He married Marie Jeanne de la Rivière, daughter of Sgt. Jean B[aptiste] de la Rivière[?] and Marie Riche[?], about 1742. She was born about 1715 in Los Adayes Post (Spanish) in Louisiana, according to the 1795 census listing her age as 80. Charles’ widow, Marie Jeanne de la Rivière/María Juana del Río remarried on 19 March 1774 and died about 1800 in Nacogdoches District, Sabine County, Texas, between the 1795 and 1803 censuses. One census listed her as “Indian” but there is no explanation for this unless it was through her mother..
1.2. MARIE FRANÇOISE DE LA RENAUDIÈRE was born on 3 September 1723 in Kaskaskias Post, Louisiana Territory, and married (1) Pierre Benoist about 1738 in Natchitoches Parish, Louisiana. No record of the first marriage has been found, but she was called his widow at her second wedding in 1739. Pierre died, therefore, before 19 March 1739 in Natchitoches Parish, Louisiana. She then married (2) George Avenal Jr, son of George Avenal Sr and Catherine Fasecoche, on 19 March 1739 in Natchitoches Parish, Louisiana, “ After three bans, marriage of George Avenal (X), soldier in the company of Mr. Macarty who gives his permission, son of George Avenal and Catherine Fasecoche of the kingdom of ‘Hongrie’ ... and Marie Francoise la Renaudiere (X), widow of deceased Pierre Benoist, soldier, legitimate daughter...”. George was born in the Kingdom of Hungary. In 1737,Marie Françoise was godmother for the baptism of François, a “small Negro boy “ she apparently held as a slave, as “Mdm La Renaudière”[French women often kept their maiden names]
1.3. AGNÈS GENEVIÈVE DE LA RENAUDIÈRE, born about 1726 in Kaskaskias, Illinois Parish, Louisiana Territory. married (1) Guillaume Bergereau/Bergeron dit St Onge on 15 May 1740 in Natchitoches Parish. The groom was “native of Jeanni, St Onge, St Sulpice Parish, son of Nicolas Bergereau, native of Jeannai and Jeanne Vigère, Saintaur, St Brie Parish, same province and [bride] Agnès Regnaudier, native of Post Kaskaskia, Illinois, daughter of Philippe Regnaudiere, native of Perigord and Perine Pivert, native of Vitrei, Bretagne”. He was born in Jennai in St Onge, Sulpice Parish and died about 4 September 1762 in Pointe Coupée Parish, buried 6 September. She married (2) Hiacinte Ferret about 1763 in Pointe Coupée. That record states that the bride’s parents were deceased, so she was represented by their friends Sieur Ducret and M. Carmouche.
1.4. PHILIPPE DE LA RENAUDIÈRE [JR] was born about 1727 in Kaskaskias, Illinois Parish, Louisiana, and was godfather in 1744 to a child of Agnès and Guillaume Bergereau in Natchitoches. It has been stated without source by some de la Renaudière descendants that he died 26 September 1773. No marriage or other information has been located about him, but there was only one known de la Renaudière family in the area at the time, and the approximate year of Philippe’s birth, together with his atendance at the baptism of Agnès’ child in the rôle of godfather are strong indicators that he was her brother:

1.1.3.1. JUAN IGNACIO4MAXIMILIANO D’ARZE (Marie Françoise3de la Renaudière, Charles2de la Renaudière, Philippe1de la Renaudière) was born on 1 July 1782 in Natchitoches, Louisiana, and died about 1866 in Bayou See, Louisiana, . He married (1) Anastacia Simms, daughter of Richard Simms Symes and María de la Concepción Pérez, about 1809 (extrapolated from age of first known child). She was born about 1793 and died about 1825 in San Augustine County, Texas..[see above], Richard Syms/Simms, father of Anastacia,. gave the following affidavit and account of his life on June 18, 1809:
“Sworn statement which I, Richard Symes, make of my nativity and the rest that I shall state, in the following manner: Richard Symes, a native of the City of Bristol, in Great Britain, which he left at the age of 16 years, after his father having died, from which city he went to Jamaica, embarked in a frigate of the King of said Great Britain,on which he was occupied in the task of sailor, working on it and crossing the sea, where he was imprisoned in Santiago de Cuba by the Spanish government or army, and in which place the declarant continued residing for the space of a year and three days as a prisoner of war, and having lacked people for a crew in a French boat, that was going toward New Orleans, province of Louisiana, by decision of the government of Cuba, they removed him to add him to the French boat, as remains said, to travel to the town of New Orleans, which was in the year 1781. He was in said city for the time of two years, making trips to Havana in his own occupation as sailor; and afterwards, in the year 1784; it not suiting him to continue on such boats, he went to the Post of Rapides, of the said Province of Louisiana, in which post he spent the time of three years, being occupied in the occupation of farmer, from which post he had to transport himself, and he went to the Post of Natchitoches, of the same dependency, where he married Maria Concecion[sic] Perez, a native of the Royal Presidio of San Antonio de Bexar, with which wife he had a family of eight children, there remaining five females and two males; because one of the eight died; and after living in said Post of Natchitoches for four years, he finally went with his wife and family to this village of Nacogdoches, where he has been living for the time of sixteen years, continuing in the occupation of farmer and is with which he supports his family until today; the declarant as well as his wife and family, are all of the religion of Apostolic Roman Catholic. He declares that he has no documents. He says that as much as remains related is the truth, on which it is affirmed and ratified.
And in order that it be certain, extending these presents, which he signed, Manuel Bustamante and Don Jose de la Bega [sic], citizens of this place, being witnesses of all this. Village of Nacogdoches, June 18, 1809. Richard Symes and the witnesses signed with what are designated as “rubrics”.[probably “marks”]
The parish marriage record, in French, was dated 22 September 1789 and after three banns, united in official Apostolic Catholic marriage Richard Symis, son of Jean [John] Symis and Margueritte Chisley, native of the town of Bristol in Great Britain, and Marie la Concession, daughter of Josephe Christophe Perez and of Marie Josephe DeLune, native of the province of Texas. [9-S]
María de la Concepción Pérez, daughter of José Cristóbal Pérez and María Josefa de Luna, was born 14 December 1770 in San Fernando, Béxar County, Texas (formerly México) and died in 1853. She and Richard Symes/Simms married 22 September 1789, according to Catholic Church records of the Fort of Natchitoches. She was listed as “Spaniard”.
In 1790, Richard appeared on the church tax roll of Natchitoches assessed as a community resident to pay to Sieur Jean Baptiste Maurin a sum for lengthening the storehouse of the parish presbytery, appearing among other residents as Richard Chime[Sims] of Rivière aux Cannes. He was listed as an Irishman in the 1793 local census of Souls that were in the Village of Nuestra Señora del Filar de Nacogdoches, though his affidavit said he was a native of Bristol, Gloucestershire, England. In that census, as Rafael Simes, farmer, his age was given as 28, his wife’s as 25, with two daughters, 6 and 2. He was consistently on local census records until at least 1809. In the same year, he was on the Natchitoches Post militia roll as one of 65 riflemen. The family had a town lot with a log house purchased from Pierre Engle, and a league of land, with three log houses and two fields enclosed by a rail fence, 50 head of cattle, 6 horses and 4 oxen. He died before 1830 in Texas, and his wife obtained a contract for the land on 11 September, 1833..
As yet, nothing further has been found about Richard’s ancestors in England, but María Concepción Pérez had deep roots in the New World, well worth reproducing here in rough Ahnentafel form, from most recent child backwards in time.

Chapter 10
Descendants of Spencer Pendergrass Sr and Sarah Thornton
Spencer (S)pendergrass was the first of the Sandy Creek area Pendergrasses to appear of record in Old Granville County, North Carolina. Neither he nor any of his Pendergrass kin were there when the mandatory militia list was taken in 17541, or in records of predecessor counties,and he first appeared as Spenser Spendergrass carrying a survey chain for a survey made for Roger and Henry Thornton2on both sides of Sandy Creek in December 1755.[5-D] Beginning in 1757, he and his close relatives John(s?) and William Pendergrass appeared consistently on tax lists as heads of household in the Sandy Creek area until well after the Revolution.
Spencer was Spenser Spendergrass on the survey plat in 1755,2 he was on tax and delinquents lists nearly every year from 1755 to 1782, usually as Spencer and some variation of Pendergrass, he bought and sold land as Spencer (S)pendergrass, but in all the dozens of public record mentions about him, he is never once called “James” Spencer. A thorough examination of the Allen Pendergraft book reveals not the slightest explanation for calling him [James?] Spencer Pendergrass3, and equally absent is any explanation for Spencer’s son [Thomas?] Thornton Pendergrass having had an additional first name bestowed upon him.4 They were just plain Spencer and just plain Thornton in the records.
Likewise, Allen’s book quotes someone as saying that “perhaps Sarah Thornton was sister to a Thornton who lived in Caswell County, near a James Pendergrass”5, but it is hard to imagine that Spencer would have gone looking for a Thornton to marry over in Caswell County when he lived near and worked closely with Thorntons right in his own Sandy Creek district, including the Roger Thornton who has been assumed to have been Sarah’s father. In fact, the referenced James Pendergrass of Caswell County was son of Richard Pendergrass of a different family altogether, usually listed as free blacks or mulattos, and that James married Nancy Jones.6 [see infra Richard Pendergrass, Indentured Manservant]
It has been stated frequently online that Spencer married Sarah Thornton in 1763 and that the witnesses and bondsman were Roger Thornton and William and Mary Pendergrass. While this author accepts that the marriage to Sarah Thornton did occur sometime before 1760, and even that she was Roger and Catherine’s daughter, there is good cause to suspect that some of this information is incorrect and even fabricated, because no such marriage record exists.
It is true that Spencer lived near and worked for or with Roger Thornton at times. (S)pendergrasses and this same family of Thorntons had lived near one another in Richmond County, Virginia, for decades. He had children named Thornton and Sarah, tax records indicate he was head of household by 1757 when living in the Sandy and Lynch’s Creek area, and one of his children was born by 1761. The names of all his descendants through 1850 and some of their approximate ages and death dates are known from a probate action of his unmarried daughter Sarah in Marshall County, Alabama. [see further, infra]
Spencer bought his 100 acres on Linches Creek in 1763 [10-A] which is probably why it has been asserted that he married in that year, but there are at least two problems with the 1763 marriage “record”. First, although it has been “quoted” widely online, a diligent and intense search at the North Carolina archives, including the statewide marriage index, loose marriage bonds, published materials and original documents for predecessor and surrounding counties, and an archivist-assisted search of the Granville County Thornton Library at Oxford, have turned up no such marriage record. A mention of the marriage in the unreliable Ancestry.com “family data collection” was painstakingly traced to its root source in Utah and the compiler of that database pinned to the wall by direct questioning until he finally admitted that his only source for the “record” in his hearsay database was someone else’s hearsay database.
Eventually, after many phone calls and the application of much pressure, the online “source” was traced back to a particular microfilm number at the Latter Day Saints’ library in Utah, which in turn was traced back to images of old Granville County Minutes of the Court of Pleas and Quarter sessions, for 1763 and surrounding dates. This author then personally travelled to the state archives in Raleigh, and the original book of court minutes was diligently searched from front to back and the entry for each debt, attachment, and trespass-on-the-case was reviewed. There is no marriage record for anyone tucked cozily into the pages of these court minutes. It is likely that someone at some time caused all this extra trouble by simply entering speculative information into an online database, because that is the only place it is found. Again, no written record of this marriage exists.
However, the problem is more with the date than with the marriage itself, which does seem to have occurred between Spencer and some Thornton daughter named Sarah, and would have been conveniently local and between two people of marriageable age whose families lived on the same creek and certainly knew each other. While being head of household is not absolute proof that he was married by 1757, it is a good indicator. He is listed as one of the “Haus capers warn’d to turn in their Lists” in 1761 with John and John Senior Pendergrays (which gives evidence as to how this name was pronounced in North Carolina at the time)8 More importantly, Spencer’s documented son James was listed as married and a landowner in old Wilkes County by 1782,9 meaning he should not have been born later than 1761. Spencer himself could have been born no later than 1742 to have been buying land in 1763, but to have been a married head of household by 1757, a better estimated birth year for him is 1735 or earlier.
Among other problems with the fictional online marriage bond is its listing of Mary and William as presumed parents of Spencer, and Roger as presumed father of Sarah, not to mention the basic assumption of the bride’s name and identity. There was some close familial relationship between Spencer and William but there is nothing to say they were father and son rather than brothers or cousins.
However, Spencer did have children named Sarah and Thornton, and did know and live near Roger Thornton, and there was a widowed Sarah Pendergrass of the right age living near and with their children in Tennessee later. Marriages have been hypothesized from far less convincing circumstantial evidence..
It is not known what Spencer did for a living between 1755 and 1763, but once he obtained his 100 acres in 1763, he’d have had to maintain and farm it. The land was located on Linches/Lynch’s Creek at the [Thornton’s, now Gill’s] Mill Creek just to the east of the present day towns of Kittrell and Bobbitt. Locals say that the creek is so called because a colonial revenue collector was hanged there during the Regulator Movement in the early 1770s, and this is even repeated in Powell’s Gazetteer,10 but the local legend would be more credible had there not been a Thomas Linch living there by 1749 and a James Linch before him who got a land grant from the Earl of Granville in 1722.
Although it is never wise to rely on the spelling of names as evidence of anything, it is still of note for discussion purposes that in two of his early mentions, on the survey plat map in 1755 and a Bute County deed out to Herbert Hight in 1774,11 Spencer’s surname was written as Spendergrass even though there was no elision. The only other places that this spelling of the name appeared regularly were in early Richmond County, Virginia from 1697 to about 1751 and in Spotsylvania/Orange counties Virginia in the late 1730s and 1740s. Also of note: the Richmond County Spendergrass family attended church in North Farnham Parish, where the births of Roger and Henry Thornton were listed.12[see Chapter 6]
From 1757 to 1782, Spencer appeared as head of household on North Carolina tax lists as the county lines changed around him from Granville to Bute to Warren, nearly always near John Pendergrass, and sometimes also William. The exact relationship between the three men is not known, but John and Spencer are treated in this book as “apparent” brothers because in the early years in Granville, they each acted as sworn chain carriers for surveys, generally considered to be a young man’s job, they both had their children during the same time span, and their descendants’ YDNA is a solid match. William and his wife Mary Unknown lived in a slightly removed neighborhood on Buffalo and Fishing Creeks and Spencer was there for a time, but more often was on the same list as John. William may have been their father, brother, or any other relative, but he was definitely close family. No known direct descendant of William’s has been located for testing, but his and Rebeckah Pendergrass’ estate administrations in 1789 Franklin County, make plain without defining it that there was some close familial relationship.13
The patent plat map of 477 acres surveyed for Roger and Henry Thornton in December 1755 on both sides of Sandy Creek (which is now just above the county line between Franklin and Warren counties but in 1755 was still in old Granville County) joined the lines of Martin, Thornton and Fussell, Richard Person and Spenser Spendergrass were the sworn chain carriers who assisted Deputy Surveyor Sher’d [Sherrod] Haywood in measuring the parcel’s boundaries.14 At the time, the land was in St. John’s Parish of Old Granville, the area which became Bute County from 1764 to 1779, but since the county was splitting in the same year Spencer bought his land, records of the transaction appear in both counties. [Bute records are now stored with Warren county records.]
In 1757, at the end of a tax list, the name of some John Pendergrass’ was inscribed, and shortly afterward, William Johnson, Sheriff, added several familiar names among “114 omitted names of those on the 1758 list and known to be living in the county” (in 1757).15 The by-letter list included Jno Pendergrass, Spencer Pendergrass, and William Pendergrass, each as head of household with only himself as one taxable male. Another list in 1757, made of Macon’s district and not arranged by letter, included Roger Thornton, Spencer Pendergrass and William Pendergrass.
In the same year, taxation went on, and a small anomaly occurred on a document prepared by Charles Johnson of “alls the delinquents for the year 1759”.16 Spencer was listed, along with many of his neighbors but none of his kin, as not having yet paid, and there is a notation saying “two listed”, but only one poll was taxed. Normally this notation would mean that there were two individual Spencers on the same list, but Spencer Junior hadn’t yet been born and at no other time was there a second Spencer mentioned. The fact that tax was assessed for only one poll calls the notation into question as a possible clerical error or a misplaced line, though there are other possibilities, such as an older, tax exempt man living in the household.
Spencer appeared as only one taxable head of household on William Johnson’s tax list the following year along with John, but William Pendergrass was not listed in that district. A smaller unalphabetized section of the list that year, shows Spencer and John’s names together, with close neighbors John Pownall, Hezekiah Massey with his son, then John DeBord, and Aaron Fussell and his son Aaron [Jr].17
In 1761, a previously unrecognized Pendergrass man appeared with the Sandy Creek group in a rather odd way. The taxables list for Sandy Creek district, returned by Thomas Fussell, lists among many other familiar neighbors, taxables Aaron Fussell and son Aaron, Roger Thornton, Christopher and Francis Strother and son William, John Pendergrass (1 poll), Thomas Crab and son Daniel, Henry Weaver, Spencer Pendergrass (1 poll) and John Parnell [Pownall] (1 poll).18 Only one John Pendergrass is listed and only one poll tax assessed. However, on a document later that same year, headed “List of Haus Capers Warn’d to Turn in Their lists” grouped closely together on a list of about 40 men and two women, appeared Spencer, John, and John Senior Pendergrays.19 William, again, did not appear on this list but was still in a nearby area. [see “The Tangled Johns” in Chapter 6C],
Also, at some time before 1761 at least one child, James, had been born to Spencer and his apparent wife Sarah Thornton, unless that child stretched the truth about his age when buying land by 1782.
On May 10th, 1763, Spencer paid five pounds to his neighbor Jno DeBord for one hundred acres of land that was originally part of a grant to DeBord from the Earl of Granville. Witnesses were Thomas Fussell and John Person.20 The parcel was located on Linches/Lynch’s Creek at [Thornton’s] Mill Creek. Bute county was just being formed from Granville, so when the last of the land was sold in 1778, it was in Bute County just before Bute was divided into Franklin and Warren. It is now in present day Franklin county not far east of the Vance County line and not far south of the Warren County line.
On a 1763 Granville countywide insolvents’ list of those too poor to pay taxes, appeared Spencer, taxed for himself only, and one John Pendergrass. Also on the list were familiar neighbors like John Serug Asque, Hezekiah Massey, Jr, and others, but no Thorntons. From the length of the list, it appears that half the county was deemed too poor to pay.
In 1766, the list taken by Nathaniel Henderson of about 75 taxable heads of household in Sandy Creek District, by then in Bute County, included familiar neighbors like Aaron Fussell and his sons Aaron and Moses, and those with whose descendants Pendergrass descendants intermarried, like Isrom Cogwell, Roger Thornton, John Serug/Searidge Askew/Asque/Ayscue, as well as Spencer and William Pendergrass, each taxable only for himself, and one John Pendergrass, taxable to Robert Day in only that one year, for no specified reason (most likely a hired hand?).
In March of 1769, Spencer was still living on Linches Creek when John DeBord, then “of Orange County”, sold a hundred acres of land to John Crabb for Virginia money, which land adjoined Spencer’s.21 Witnesses were William Ball and John Person. On 13 March,1771, another hundred forty acres adjoining Spencer changed hands from David Williams to Harbird [Herbert] Hight, all of Bute County, for forty pounds. Spencer’s land was on the North side of Linches Creek, according to this deed, recorded in 177522
About this time, 1769, young Spencer [Jr] was born, according to later Alabama census records.23
The Bute County 1771 individual tax district lists deepen the mystery of identifying the Johns, each with one poll only: one on the list taken by Thomas Bell, and the other on Henderson’s list with John Pownall and his son Henry, and the Fussells; Aaron, Moses and Aaron, Jr. William and Spencer both were listed, one poll each, on Philamon Hawkins’ list.
Philamon Hawkins’ in fact, had petitioned the Court in 1770 to be allowed to build a mill on Linches’ Creek, which petition was granted through a process something akin to eminent domain, and on August 14,.1772, Spencer involuntarily sold to Harbert Hight, both of Bute, one acre on Linches Creek for ten shillings of proclamation money.24 Witnesses were: Robert Wynne, and David Williams, proved August Court 1774. No dower was waived by a wife but that was not at all times a legal requirement.
The rest of the Linches Creek land was sold25 on “10 February 1778 to Harbert Hight for forty pounds ‘procklamation’ money, 100 acres on the South [sic] Side of Linches Crk, from a white oak on the creek, west to a black jack oak thence to a pine thence east to the creek at a spanish oak and thence down the creek to the first station. Witnesses were John Hight and Wm. Huckaby. Spencer marked “X”. No dower was waived by a wife, although it is known that he was married.
No other land transaction for Spencer has been located, but in 1780 he was taxed in the Epping Forrest District of Granville County, as the county line had once again shifted. He was taxed 124 pounds 8 shillings on Samuel Fuller’s list and was living among Lloyds, Huckabys, Mayfields, Kittrells, Bobbetts, John Finch, Sr, and Zorababel Williamson. (In terms of location markers, a name like Zorababel Williamson is hard to beat.) The names of some of these neighbors suggest that Spencer and his family were living near or with William and Mary. [Note: Mary may have been widowed by then]
In 1782, Spencer was still there in the Epping Forrest district and was taxed 16 pounds 10 shillings for 50 acres of land, no slaves, one horse or mule, and five cows. On the same list, which included most of the names from 1780, there also appeared Sampson and John Harp. It is not known where the 50 acres was located or what became of it.
After 1782, there is no further record found mentioning Spencer Pendergrass [Sr] in the Sandy Creek area or surrounding counties. 1782 is also the year in which Spencer’s eldest son first appeared in old Wilkes County, to the West in North Carolina in an area which would later become Buncombe.
In July, 1786, Mary Pendergrass was first listed as a head of household26 in the same narrow strip of Granville County which had been carved mostly from Warren and which stayed Granville for a few years before becoming part of Warren again. In Zachariah Higgs’ district, she listed in her household herself and one other white female, no name or age given. In her Fishing Creek neighborhood on the list with her were Kitrells, Harps and Fullers, and William Dickerson, similar names to those where Spencer had been living after selling the Linches Creek land.
Although she was evidently widowed before July 1786, perhaps long before, Mary did not go into court to administer William’s estate until September of 1789, when she went into Franklin County fall term with a John Pendergrass, who was administering the estate of a Rebecca Pendergrass. Rebecca’s close relationship to the family is not precisely defined, but her estate contained, among other things, a bed and chest which she had left in the hands of William for his life and then to his heirs. Frustratingly, there is no identification of William’s heirs in the record, and no mention of Spencer at all. There are inventories of both estates extant, but no record of any estate sale has been found, though records were thoroughly searched by this author personally and by a local professional genealogist for several years afterward.
There is no record of Spencer [Sr]’s death, but he was not mentioned in Sandy Creek area records after 1782 nor in the 1789 Franklin County estate administrations.27 In the 1820 Overton County, Tennessee, census, a Sarah Pendergrass appeared as head of household over 45 years of age with an unnamed white female 26-44 who may or may not have been unmarried daughter Sarah, who died still unmarried in 1850 Marshall County, Alabama. Next door was Fanny Pendergrass [widow of son Joel] with extended family, and nearby was son Thornton Pendergrass, with inferred wife and family, lending credence to the identity of Spencer [Sr]’s wife as Sarah Thornton, even without a written record. [see 10-B]
The next appearance of a Spencer Pendergrass anywhere after 1782 was for either Spencer, Senior or Spencer, Junior, and the record doesn’t say. In fact, the original record is missing altogether, but what remains is a transcription of it,28 showing that sometime between 1794 and 20 June 1796, 100 acres granted to some Spencer Pendergrass was an exception to a grant of 320,000 acres made by the Secretary of State to John Gray Blount on the northeast side of the French Broad River, beginning at a hickory in the Burke County line on top of the blue ridge, and so on. A similar exception was made for a James Bobbitt, a familiar name from the Lynch’s Creek area where Spencer and family had been living, near the present day town of Bobbitt. There is no exact legal description, and the most that can be said is that the general area became Buncombe County at a later date and then a portion split into Iredell. Spencer [Sr] would have been at least 60, and Spencer [Jr] about 25 when this land was acquired, and records show that Spencer [Jr] migrated first into Iredell County, North Carolina, by 1800 and then into Alabama before 1820.29 From his migration pattern, it would appear that it was Spencer Jr who acquired this land and that Spencer Sr was probably deceased.(though there is no record of a probate proceeding for him)
There has been considerable online confusion about Spencer Sr and Spencer Jr. Many online trees have Spencer Sr born in Alabama which he was not, and Spencer Junior (or Senior) fighting in the revolution, which he did not. It is not known for certain where Spencer Sr was born or when he died, but he was not a revolutionary veteran and he was never in Alabama. Spencer Jr was born in Bute (later Warren) County about 1769 and worked his way west in North Carolina, in Salisbury, Iredell County, by 1800, Jackson, Tennessee in 1802, then in Shelby County, Alabama in the 1820 census, Bibb County in 1830, and Talladega County in 1840. By1850, he had died. While it is true that he was listed as a military veteran on a pensioner’s list, he was far too young to have been in the revolution, was mentioned in no revolutionary record, and was originally listed as a veteran in a publication which included other military service as well as the revolution.30 His contemporary cousins fought in the Mexican War.
In Marshall County, Alabama in 1850, a genealogical miracle occurred when Sarah Pendergrass, only daughter of old Spencer and Sarah Thornton, most considerately died unmarried, intestate and with property.31An exhaustive list of her brothers, dead and alive, and their children and grandchildren was made for the probate court. [10-C] Of note is that one later transcription of this list contains a Stephen, who was credited with three of Spencer’s children. No records can be found about Stephen because he did not exist. As the original documents attest, “Stephen” was a simple clerical error who somehow made it onto the internet instead of Spencer[Jr].
The list of old Spencer and Sarah Thornton’s heirs is presented here, annotated and out of date order in this narrative to make them more recognizable and easily tracked as they spread from North Carolina into other states. [Note: Jincy/Gincy was a popular nickname for Jane at the time, and Asa was not an uncommon first name for men, sometimes spelled Atha, and not to be confused with Arthur or Othor.]

It is apparently this single reference to a Pleasant Pendergrass, grandson of old Spencer, born at least a hundred years after the 1709 Henrico Quaker marriage of “New Kent County”John Pendergrass to Jane Pleasants, which Allen Pendergraft’s book calls the “continuity of the name Pleasants” that he uses to “prove” that old Spencer was a descendant of that marriage.32 However, virtuous first names like Pleasant, Piety, Prudence, Hope, Faith, Temperance, and so on were often bestowed on children in the hope that those qualities might be nurtured in them and they are not an indication of anyone’s maiden name.
While continuing to track Spencer and Sarah’s children, it should be borne in mind that there was an unplaced Nimrod Pendergrass who cannot be ignored. He was born about 1769 somewhere in North Carolina,33 but he is not the Nimrod born to the John Pendergrass and wife Margaret Pownall who left the Sandy Creek area between 1772 and 1779 for South Carolina. His exact relationship to the family is unknown and no descendant of his has yet been located for YDNA testing - in fact his line seems to have daughtered out completely. He was not listed as a son of old Spencer in Sarah’s estate, he did not appear in any surviving record in the counties where the Sandy Creek group lived, yet when Pendergrass sons of Spencer began appearing in old Wilkes County, long before descendants of “Wake” John did, Nimrod was living near them.34 Meaning no disrespect to anyone’s memory, the name Nimrod, Biblical or not, was not one to be bestowed lightly, and the fact that there were two Nimrod Pendergrasses born in North Carolina at about the same time and in some way associated with the Sandy Creek group must reflect some cause and effect, but no conjecture will be given here. To distinguish this Nimrod from the other one, he will be designated as “Wilkes” Nimrod for the county where his name first appeared. He is a mystery, but he did exist and lived to have a very few children and grandchildren. Discussion of him occurs in Chapter 6.
The first of Spencer’s family into old Wilkes County was his son James, born no later than 1761, since he was on Captain Kee’s 1782 tax list as married and owning 540 acres of land (and no other property.)35 In the few surviving tax lists for 1784, 1785, and 1786, no Pendergrass was listed, nor was any on the 1787 state census, though James was still living there. Likewise, no Pendergrass was mentioned in county court minutes from 2 March 1788 through 28 October 1794. (Time at the archives did not permit extensive study of Wilkes County court records for later years, though Spencer Jr and his brothers had already moved on by about 1800)
“Wilkes” Nimrod, not a descendant of Spencer [Sr], first appeared on Captain Lewis’s #11 tax list in 1788, with one white poll, and no land.36 In this year, Iredell County was created adjacent to old Wilkes on the southeast border, causing some question as to whether these Pendergrasses physically moved later or the county line was blurred around them.
In 1795, Thornton Pendergrass [son of Spencer Sr], was listed in Capt Lewis’s District, Wilkes County, with a hundred acres of land but no poll, with no explanation given as to why he was not taxed for himself. James Pendergrass,[son of Spencer Sr] was listed in the same Capt Lewis’s District, 1 white poll, 287 acres, with the soon to be allied Rash family on the same list.37
In 1797, Joel Pendergrass [son of Spencer Sr] was in Capt Lewis’ District, 1 white poll, 132 acres, Nimrod Pendergrass, [not son of Spencer Sr] in Capt Lewis’s District # 11, 1 white poll, 100 acres; Thornton Pendergrass [son of Spencer Sr], Capt Lewis’s District, 1 white poll,100 acres and James Pendergrass [son of Spencer Sr], Capt Lewis’s District, 1 white poll, 150 acres, with the Rash family nearby on the list38
In the 1800 federal census, “Wilkes” Nimrod was still in Wilkes County, 1 white male 26-45, one white female the same age, and 2 white males and a white female all under age 10. Born about 1769 as he stated in a later census, “Wilkes” Nimrod would have been about 31 years old in 1800, a contemporary of Spencer Sr’s children. In nearby Iredell County, Spencer Pendergrass [Jr, also born about 1769] listed himself in the 1800 census as a white male 26-45 and in his household were a white female in the same age group, a boy and a girl both under ten. Also in 1800 Iredell, Spencer [Jr] was on a tax list with 100 acres of land valued at $50.00 and one “stable” [horse or mule]39.
Wilkes County tax lists are few and fragmentary from 1800 to 1814, but no Pendergrasses are to be found on those which still exist. There were in fact no further mentions of any Pendergrass in any extant Wilkes County record from 1800 to about 1816, when Benjamin [son of “Wake” John] and his large family arrived there and settled near Windy Gap.40
Unplaced “Wilkes” Nimrod in 1815 was taxed in Iredell County, not Wilkes, but it is not known whether the move was physical. He was taxed for 2 white polls and 134 acres of land valued at $124, in Captain Alexander’s Company.41 By the 1820 census,, Spencer [Jr] had gone on to Shelby County, Alabama and the only Pendergrass men appearing in Iredell census and tax records from then until after 1850 were “Wilkes” Nimrod and his sons: John born about 1799 and Warren, estimated birth about 1801. In 1850, “Wilkes” Nimrod was living with his son John, John’s wife Jane Unknown, and according to the census taker, their daughter S Houston Pendergrass, but all old Spencer’s children were gone elsewhere. Almost all of “Wilkes’ Nimrod’s grandchildren died tragic early deaths without living to marry. “Wilkes” Nimrod’s exact relationship to Spencer has not been determined, but some relationship to the Sandy Creek group there definitely was
“Wilkes” Nimrod’s descendants are listed, tentatively, as descendants of “Wake” John in Chapter 7, while descendants of “Bob’s” John’s Nimrod are listed as his proven descendants in Chapter11, below. However, it is equally likely that “Wilkes” Nimrod was the son of William Pendergrass and Mary Unknown or even that he was a more distant relative altogether.
Spencer [Sr]and Sarah [Thornton] Pendergrass’s documented children therefore were:
1.1. James born by 1761 in North Carolina, married Nancy Unknown.
1.2 Thornton born about 1767 in North Carolina married Anna Unknown.
1.3 Spencer [Jr] born about 1771 in North Carolina, wife as yet unidentified
1.4 Joel, deceased before 1850, married Frances “Fanny” Wilbourne.
1.5 Sarah, who never married
[and Stephen, who never existed except as a transcription error]
DESCENDANTS OF SPENCER PENDERGRASS [SR] AND SARAH THORNTON
________Generation 1__________
1. SPENCER1(S)PENDERGRASS was born about 1735 or earlier and somewhere other than North Carolina. His birth date is roughly estimated from his appearance on a Granville, North Carolina, tax list as head of household over 16 in 1758 and on buying land in 1763, for which by law he should have been 21 or older. It is not known for certain when he died but he disappeared from Sandy Creek area records after 1782 and was not mentioned in the estates of William or Rebecca in 1789. Although there is no marriage bond or return, from other records it is apparent that he married Sarah Thornton, probable daughter of Roger and Catherine, born around 1735, also somewhere other than North Carolina, most likely Orange County,Virginia.
Spencer Pendergrass and Sarah Thornton had the following children:
1.1. JAMES2PENDERGRASS was born by 1761 in old Granville County, North Carolina, not long before it became Bute County in 1764. According to the 1840 census, he was born between 1761-1770 and was a married head of household taxed for land on the 1782 Wilkes County list, so at least 21. He died before 1850 (Mentioned as deceased in the 1850 Marshall County, Alabama administration of the estate of his unmarried sister Sarah Pendergrass) He married Nancy [Vaden?], who was born about 1783 in North Carolina, and died after 1850 in Marshall County, Alabama [?]. She was not the Nancy Jones who later married a different James Pendergrass, son of Richard Sr in Caswell County on April 30, 1803.
1.2. THORNTON PENDERGRASS, was born about 1767 in Bute County, in the area which became Warren and later abutted Vance, around Lynch’s Creek just east of the Franklin line. He married Anna Unknown [Clampitt?]who was born about 1769 in Virginia and he was still living in 1850 when his sister Sarah’s estate was administered. In 1800, he and Anna had in their household one white male under 10 years of age, and could not be located in 1810. By 1820 there were three young males and three young females in their household, down to three young people in 1830, when they were living near his brother James. Not all of their children have been identified. In 1795 and 1797, Thornton was on tax lists in Wilkes County near his brothers, in Burke County in the 1800 census and by 1820 was in Overton County, Tennessee. In 1828 he possessed fifty acres of land in Cumberland County, Kentucky, to the North of Overton County, Tennessee, but by 1830 he was living next door to his brother James in Lincoln County, Tennessee. In 1840, he and his family were located in Smith County, Tennessee, as “Thomas” Pendergrass. It has been assumed elsewhere that his full name was Thomas Thornton Pendergrass, but as he is never called Thomas in any other record, it was more likely a simple clerical error. In the 1850 census, he was listed as Thornton at stated age 83, living with Wife Anna 81 and a five year old boy named James Roberts, relationship unknown. Their residence was located North of Cumberland and East of Caney Fork Rivers in Smith County He was listed as still living in 1850.
1.3. SPENCER PENDERGRASS, JR was born about 1771 near Lynch’s Creek, at the time in Bute, later Warren/Franklin County. He died before 1850 in Alabama, mentioned as deceased in the administration of the estate of his sister Sarah Pendergrass in Marshall County. His wife’s identity is unknown but he did marry because his children are listed as heirs of Sarah’s estate. In about 1796 he obtained land in what became by 1800 Iredell County, North Carolina, in 1802 was living in Jackson County, Tennessee, near his brother Joel, and by 1820 was in Shelby County, Alabama, at a time when it was not yet fully settled. The 1820 census reflected household members of the right genders and ages to have been Spencer, a wife and all the five children named in his sister Sarah’s administration. The family was in Bibb County in 1830 and Talladega County in 1840, with son Silas and his wife Catherine Garner or Gannon living nearby. He was about 71 in the 1840 census and deceased before 1850. In a mistranscription of his sister’s estate records, he was once mistakenly called “Stephen”.
Other researchers online and in print have assumed he was a drummer boy in the revolution because he was listed as a veteran and was so young at the time, but even drummer boys had to have been older than five, which would have been young Spencer’s age in 1776. Although no record of it can be located, Spencer Jr stated in the 1840 census schedule that he was a military veteran receiving a pension and his name was given under the category of “ Pensioners for Revolutionary or Military Services Listed in the Foregoing” His age was given as 69 in 1840. A diligent search of all revolutionary records finds no listing of him on any muster roll, payroll or final payment voucher, or in any pension application, or in any publication about revolutionary veterans, nor in any application for membership in the DAR. His age places him as eligible for actions after the revolution, such as the War of 1812, the Mexican War, and in particular the Creek Indian Wars which took place in the area of Alabama where he was listed in other records and where several of his apparent cousins served.
1.4. JOEL PENDERGRASS was born in Bute County, North Carolina before 1776, had land in old Wilkes County by 1797, passed through Tennessee and according to the 1802 and 1803 Jackson County tax list was living near his brother Spencer[Jr] and he assigned a hundred acres of land in Overton County, Tennessee to Simon [Huddleston?] in 1807. In the 1820 census, his wife Frances “Fanny” [Wilbourne?] (Pendergrass) was listed as head of household with several small children and living next door to Sarah [Thornton] (Pendergrass), Spencer [Sr]’s widow. Unverified family tradition holds that in about 1820, Joel drowned on a raft trip coveying produce and logs downriver to Nashville (or New Orleans) when a flashflood tore apart the raft. Joel was able to secure the safety of Frederick Amonette, an orphan bound to Joel after his father’s death in the War of 1812, by getting him to a tree where he stayed for three days before help arrived. Joel is said to have drowned attempting to swim to shore. In 1825, Frederick is said to have married Divin Sullivan, slightly older than he and also bound to Joel. In any event, Joel had died before the 1820 census, leaving adult children named in his sister Sarah’s 1850 estate proceedings.
1.5. SARAH PENDERGRASS was born in Bute County, North Carolina, and died about 1850 in Marshall County, Alabama. It is her death as an unmarried, intestate woman with assets worth distributing and the administration of her estate that has given us with certainty the identity of all her siblings, some of their spouses, their locations,and in the case of those who were deceased by 1850, their children. Very little is known about Sarah herself, except that an unknown woman of the right age to be she was living with Sarah’s mother Sarah Thornton (Pendergrass) in 1820 Overton County, and that she died about 1850.
__________Generation 2__________
1.1 JAMES2 PENDERGRASS (Spencer1) was born before 1761 in North Carolina, and married Nancy Unknown [Vaden?] who was born about 1783 in North Carolina and died after 1850 [in Marshall County, Alabama ?][see above for history]
James Pendergrass and Nancy Unknown had the following children:
1.1.1. JASON C3 PENDERGRASS, born about 1800, died before 1842 in Marshall County, Alabama, mentioned as deceased in the administration of the estate of Sarah Pendergrass as heir of her brother James and as leaving many children, some minors. He married Susannah Carter, born about 1805 in Tennessee and died in 1863 in Franklin County, Arkansas, .
1.1.2. ATHA/ASA PENDERGRASS, born about 1801 in Tennessee, died about 1875 in Marshall County, Alabama. He married Elizabeth “Betsy” Unknown, who was born about 1807 in Tennessee.
1.1.3. GINCY [JANE] PENDERGRASS, born about 1804 Tennessee, died after 1880. She married Jacob Gross, who was born 1799 in Tennessee. He died after 1850 and he was the administrator of Sarah Pendergrass’ estate.
1.2. THORNTON2 PENDERGRASS (Spencer1) was born about 1767 in Bute County, in the area which became Warren and later abutted Vance, around Sandy Creek on the Franklin line. He married Anna Unknown [Clampitt?],born about 1769 in Virginia, died after 1850. Only one child, James Alexander, has been identified with certainty, as a white male under 10 years of age who appeared with the newly married couple in the 1800 census. Since the family has not been located in 1810, valuable information about the household has been lost, but in the 1820 census there was another white male born between 1815 and 1820 and several young females. In 1830, James Alexander was an adult living near the family. Another white male born 1815-20, not previously mentioned, was in the household with Thornton and Anna. In 1840, there were several children in the household too young to be theirs, and with no one in the household old enough to be those children’s parent. By the 1850 census, when household members were first named individually, there were only Thornton, Anna and a five year old child named James Roberts, born in Alabama. Other (online) researchers have tentatively named three of the other children, listed here in the event of later identification. Henry Bernard’s descendants identify his father as Thornton.
Thornton Pendergrass and Anna had the following child(ren):
1.2.1. JAMES ALEXANDER3 PENDERGRASS, born about 1796 in Burke County North Carolina, [as Thornton was passing through and before the genetcally unrelated Orange County Job Pendergrass family arrived], died in 1841 in Lincoln County, Tennessee. He married Idalee Smith.
1.2.2. JESSE PENDERGRASS [speculative] born about 1797[?] married Mary “Polly” Garrett 28 August 1818 in Wilson, Tennessee, died before the 1850 census of Madison County. [see addendum for discussion and descendants]
1.2.3. LYDIA PENDERGRASS [unconfirmed]
1.2.4. HENRY BERNARD PENDERGRASS[10-E]born 1809 Allen, Kentucky, died 1899 married Louisa Watkins.
1.3. SPENCER2 PENDERGRASS [JR] (Spencer1) was born about 1771 in North Carolina, and died before 1850 in Alabama, and although his wife has not been identified, he did marry. [see above]
Spencer Pendergrass [Jr] and Unknown had the following children:
1.3.1. EDY3 PENDERGRASS was born about 1805 in Tennessee and died after 1850. She married William Sparkman on 24 September 1831 in Bibb County, Alabama.
1.3.2 JOEL T PENDERGRASS, born about 1810 in Tennessee (Birth year extrapolated from 1800 census and other records), died after 1860 and married Martha Unknown who was born about 1808 in South Carolina and died after 1860.A Joel Pendergrass served in Shelley’s Company of Talladega Rangers, Alabama Militia, in the Florida War, which took place from about 1835 to about 1842.
1.3.3. SILAS PENDERGRASS was born before 1815 and died after 1850. He married Catherine Gannon (or Garner) on 3 April 1831 in Bibb County, Alabama. She was born before 1815.
1.3.4. MALINDA PENDERGRASS, born 1826 in Alabama, married Hiram Wynn, born 1818 in Kentucky.
1.3.5. MATILDA PENDERGRASS was born before 1832 and married a Henderson.
1.4. JOEL2 PENDERGRASS (Spencer1).married Frances “Fanny” [Wilbourne?],died before 1850,[in a rafting accident?].
Joel Pendergrass and Fanny had at least the following children:
1.4.1. POLLY [Mary?] PENDERGRASS was born about 1812 in Tennessee, died 21 January 1896 in Knox County, and married a Brown who died before 1850.
1.4.2. JAMES “WILBOURNE” PENDERGRASS,[10-G] born about 1815 in Overton County, Tennessee, died after 1850 in Jackson County, Alabama, married Ann Eliza Cope, born March 1818 Tennessee, died 16 August 1889 Jackson County.
1.4.3. PLEASANT3 PENDERGRASS, born about 1817 in Tennessee, died 25 January 1894, married Myra Harris, born there about 1821 and died 22 May 1893 in Pickett County. The family was listed consistently in Overton County, Tennessee census records from 1840 through 1880, but records indicate that Pleasant died in Pickett County. In 1880, someone told the census taker that Pleasant’s parents were both born in Virginia [see below]. This family is a good example of children who were called one thing as toddlers and something completely different ten years later, as by then middle and multiple first names were common and individuals made their own decisions.
1.4.4. WILLIAM PENDERGRASS, born 22 May 1818 in Tennessee, died 5 January 1898 in Comanche County, Texas. On 12 December 1841 in Celina, Overton County, Tennessee, he married Emeline Fair Harris, daughter of Joseph Harris and Mary “Polly” Brock, born 26 May 1819 in Celina, died 22 October 1907 in Sidney, Texas. By 1850, the couple had relocated to Smith County, Texas, appearing in census records there. William served in the Civil War from Commanche County, and then back and forth to Smith County, where he died. He reported in 1880 that his father was born in North Carolina and his mother in Tennessee, which is more in line with the known facts than his brother Pleasant’s 1880 census..
__________Generation 3__________
1.1.1. JASON C3PENDERGRASS (James2,Spencer1), born about 1800, died before 1842 in Marshall County, Alabama, (Administration in Marshall County, Alabama 1850. Also, History of Benton/Franklin County, Arkansas). He married Susannah Carter, who was born about 1805 in Tennessee and died in 1863 in Franklin County, Arkansas, .
Jason C Pendergrass and Susannah Carter had the following children: [10-D]
1.1.1.1. JOHN JASON4 PENDERGRASS, [10-D] born 23 September 1823 in Alabama, died about 1909 In Arkansas.

Mary Elizabeth Shipley was born 15 May 1834 and died on 22 Mar 1899 in Franklin County. As John Jason married two women named Mary who were born at about the same time, there has been a great deal of confusion and many researchers have written that they were the same person. However, Mary E Shipley was still living with her first husband and their children while John Jason was having children with his first wife.
1.1.1.2. JANE “JINCY” PENDERGRASS [10-D], born 18 June 1827 in Alabama, died 4 June 1905 in Franklin County, Arkansas at age 77.

ADDENDUM: DESCENDANTS OF JESSE PENDERGRASS OF TENNESSEE
1. JESSE1 PENDERGRASS was born about 1797-1801 in North Carolina, though his birthplace is conjectural. He died between 1840 and 1850 in or near Madison County, Tennessee, and in Wilson County on 28 August, he had marriied Mary “Polly” Garrett. There is only a very weak speculative case for his parentage: a bit of geographical proximity and the fact that a Texas descendant is said to have been an identical YDNA match to Spencer and “Wake” John descendants. A search of the 1810 census for Tennessee reveals that no Pendergrasses were listed there, and the first mention of one was Jesse’s 1818 marriage, apparently as a very young man, but with no extant parental consent. In the 1820 Tennessee census records, Jesse and Thornton were the only two Pendergrass householders in the state, with Jesse still in Wilson and Thornton (son of Spencer Sr) in Overton County, three counties away. In 1836, Thornton was in Cannon County, adjacent to Wilson County, but by 1840, both had moved again - Thornton to Smith County which abutted Wilson, and Jesse to Obion County in the far northwest corner of the state, then movng down into Madison County between 1840 and the 1850 census, in which Mary was listed as widowed.
A problem with this paternity theory is that in the 1800 Burke County, North Carolina, census, Thornton and Anna had only one male child under 10 in their household, and that person is assumed to have been James Alexander, born between 1791 and 1800. Most researchers have 1800 as Jesse’s birth year, which would only fit if he were born after the census was taken.Thornton has not been located in the 1810 census, which might have shown how many boys were in the household.
Some other (online) researchers have this Jesse as a son of Vincent Pendergrass and Eliza Unknown, with Vincent born 1766 in North Carolina, died 1850 in Savannah, and son of either “Wake” John or “Buncombe” John, neither of whom had a son named Vincent. Apparently, this mistake is based on the 1977 book, which erroneously placed a real Page County, Virginia, Vincent as son of “Wake” John because “Wake” John had a grandson with that first name. This fictional Vincent was evidently chosen to receve the cigar because Jesse had a verified son called Vincent Louis. In any event, there was no Vincent, son of anyone, who was anywhere near where Jesse was born.

Chapter 11, Descendants of “Bob’s”
John Pendergrass and Margaret Pownall
Robert Allison Pendergrast of Atlanta, Georgia, born in 1923, was a sharp, meticulous and logical researcher who traced his family from its earliest provable ancestor, called “Bob’s John” in his honor by researchers to distinguish him from the other Johns in North Carolina. His book, titled Family History: John Pendergrass of Bute County, North Carolina and Lancaster County, South Carolina1 was published in 1980, and afterward, Bob chose to retire from active research to cherish his retirement years with his beloved family. His death in 2012 was a great loss. The author of the present work is honored to have been his friend, distant cousin, and colleague for many years, to have exchanged research notes with him and to have received one of the first signed copies of his nicely bound book. (In 1980, we were stuck in 1771.)
For the sake of brevity, this wonderful volume will be referenced as “Bob’s Book”, and much of the information he spent years gleaning and organizing has now been posted online, with the best version giving him well-deserved credit for the work without actually having sought his permission to reproduce it. Because the information is available both in hard copies of his book and online in other forms, there is no need to reproduce much of his John’s downline here. Only the first few early generations and a few of the most recent generations will be discussed, especially as they relate to solving the “ Mystery of the Johns” and helping newer researchers connect to a properly established line.
Although Bob did detailed research on the early years of the Pendergrasses in Virginia and elsewhere, he chose not to publish it because there was no provable connection to any of the main North Carolina Pendergrass families. He abhorred speculation and did not want to contribute to it, saying others would post his slightest musings as twisted fact the way they had done for Allen Pendergraft’s book, and that he refused to “publish a lie”. Fortunately, during his years of active research, we exchanged and discussed information and he shared his early Virginia research notes with me for further investigation and analysis, in the form of his remarkable and humorous letters.
Great care should be exercised not to confuse the present author’s critical comments about other published works, particularly Allen Pendergraft’s book, with comments about Bob’s Book. The methodology of the two authors cannot begin to be compared. Cautious as he was, though, Bob’s book was published before the advent of personal computers, digitized record images with better indices, DNA testing, and this author’s later in depth research, which uncovered a few (very few) errors, not so much mistakes as misconceptions of the early data as it came to be augmented by later discoveries, before 1771.
Bob stated in his opening chapter that there were family legends about his John which were unproven: that his John was the original immigrant into Virginia, coming from “North of London”, and that he was murdered by a band of marauding Tories during the last years of the Revolution.2 Although he warned readers that no evidence had been found to support those traditions, he did from time to time refer to them as though they were fact. Some may well have been. (Most of England is north of London, for example, and Bob’s John really did die in South Carolina after records indicate he supported both sides of the war at one time or another).3
However, more recent discoveries have cast significant doubt on Bob’s John as his line’s original immigrant into the colonies. His John’s father-in-law, John Pownall, provably followed a familiar pattern of having been convicted of some overcharged felony in England (a common plea bargain was to the lesser included charge of “theft of a handkerchief”) and, having been offered the choice of being hanged by the neck until dead or being transported to Virginia for his sins against the government, wisely chose the latter. John Pownall was taken from gaol in Essex, England and transported to Virginia on the frigate “Smith” from Gravesend with 76 other convicts on 13 September 1730.4 He first married Elizabeth, widow of John Butler, in Westmoreand County, Virginia5, and second, Margaret Nelson, as recorded in the Overwharton Parish register, Stafford County, 4 September, 1748.6 Their daughter Margaret Pownall was born shortly afterward7, and the Pownall family moved a few years later to old Granville County, North Carolina, appearing there as early as 1752.8
John Pownall appeared in various public records (he sued and was sued often) and on tax lists there, and in 1761 was listed as a resident of Granville County when he obtained from Alexander Donald of Brunswick County, Virginia, 150 acres of land on the head of Flat [Rock] Branch on the lines of Ward and Wells, a bit to the South of Sandy Creek.9 There were various other land transactions, and in June 1766, land was sold to Thomas Cook in what was by then Bute County in the area that later became Warren.10 John Pownall consistently appeared on tax lists as the county lines changed from old Granville to Bute to Warren, near and with the Sandy Creek Pendergrass men, until his departure for South Carolina just before or during the revolution. In at least one year, John Pownall was taxed for “the mulatto of Nan Goin” [the Goins were a free black/mulatto family living nearby and the child was an apprentice, not a slave] and for a son, Henry.11 In 1771, he and Henry were on Henderson’s tax list with one of the three John Pendergrasses in Bute County and then not again, except for John Pownall’s and Esraim Cogwell’s witnessing a deed in 1772 from Robert Cheek and wife to Nathanial Peeples on the south side of Sandy Creek, at Robert Day’s line12. (in 1766, Robert Day had been taxed for himself and one John Pendergrass). Tax lists are mostly missing from 1772 until 1779 for Bute County and by the time they resumed in 1779, John Pownall and all the John Pendergrasses of record except “Wake” John were gone from Sandy Creek.
Bob felt that, given the family traditions, his John Pendergrass might have been offered the same choice as John Pownall, between hanging in England and permanent transportation to the new world, but more recently discovered documents and YDNA testing make this scenario unlikely.
At the time his book was written, the earliest discovered document about the Granville/Bute/Warren County “Sandy Creek” Pendergrass group was the 1771 Bute County tax list on which appeared a total of three John Pendergrasses, no ages or other information given except that each had only one white male poll in his household.13 Two appeared in the general neighborhood of John Pownall, and one in a somewhat removed part of Bute county. On Henderson’s un-alphabetized list, the name of one of these John Pendergrasses appears next to that of John Pownall, documented father of Bob’s John’s bride Margaret. From this, Bob concluded that the two men were next door neighbors, but, unlike census takers, tax collectors did not travel to the homes of the taxpayers. Each head of household was required to prepare a list of his taxable people and/or property and to turn the list in physically to the local constable or sheriff. No doubt some were handed over in batches by neighbors or family members who were heading into town, but from the list itself it cannot be assumed that any of the three John Pendergrasses literally resided next door to John Pownall, and it certainly isn’t known which of the two in his district lived nearer. Nonetheless, at least two of the John Pendergrasses lived in the same geographically tiny tax district as John Pownall and by 1761 two were listed as independent heads of household.14 By 1771, or earlier, one of them was married to John Pownall’s daughter, Margaret, and had produced at least one child with her.15
Later discoveries of documents prior to 1771 and YDNA results have all shown that the genetically related Sandy Creek /Bute/Warren/Franklin County Pendergrass men were not anywhere in North Carolina in 175416 but had arrived by December of 1755, when Spenser Spendergrass was a sworn chain carrier for his apparent [future?] father-in-law Roger Thornton’s survey of land on both sides of Sandy Creek17. In the year 1755, about 5,000 new settlers followed the old trading route from Virginia into what was then Old Granville County18, from which Bute County was later created and in existence for a few short years. Very few inland settlers arrived from the coast, as the rivers and creeks were mostly unnavigable.19
From 1755 until 1761, only three Pendergrass men appeared on old Granville tax lists, and they did so consistently: John, Spencer, and William, with John and Spencer heads of household by 1757 in one small district and William in an adjacent one. Had any of these men been over sixteen but still at home, he would have been taxed in the household of that family, but this did not occur. Each of the three was listed as a separate head of household, and although marriage was not required in order to be a taxable head of household, the vast majority of men listed as head of a household were exactly that. In 1755, Bob’s John was a very young man among older Pendergrass men - very unlikely to have been the original immigrant.
In 1761, new and surprising information appeared. In Sandy Creek district where Spencer and John lived, a brief list of “Haus capers warn’d to turn in their Lists”20 for that year contained three Pendergrays [sic] heads of household: Spencer, John Senior, and John5E. Since they were only one name apart on a short list with about 40 of their closest neighbors, these three men were definitely related in some familial way. Although the “senior” as used at the time did not necessarily mean one John was the other’s father, Spencer’s children are all documented in probate court and he did not have a son named John.
A fuller discussion of The Tangled Johns is undertaken in Chapter 6, but it is important to note that from 1761, it becomes difficult to differentiate the John Pendergrasses from one another until after 1772, when one moved away to South Carolina with the Pownalls, and the other stayed in the same neighborhood while the county names and boundaries changed around him. One John who left was Bob’s John. One John who stayed was on tax lists in the same neighborhood until 1786, then bought land in April 1789 in the extreme northeastern corner of Wake County on the border with Franklin County21 and physically moved there to become the man researchers call “Wake John”, because he died there in 1794.22
It may seem obvious that John Senior was the father of Bob’s John, but things are rarely that simple. If the John Senior on the 1761 delinquents’ list is the father of Bob’s John, then math problems occur, and both must have been born considerably earlier than previously thought. Since we have no specific ages or birth years for any of them, this is certainly possible, but it does present other problems. If the “plain” John appearing on the 1761 tax list was Bob’s John, and he was a head of household by 1761, he had to have been born by 1743 at the latest unless he was married as a mere child. Margaret was born in 1748 or 1749 depending on whether one accepts that she was born two months after her parents’ Overwharton Parish marriage or accepts that the minister made a copying error when recording her birth. In Bob’s book, he charitably extends the benefit of the doubt and lists Margaret Pownall’s birth in 1749.23 The present author is more cynical and places Margaret’s birth in 1748 since it is listed in the register with all the other 1748 births,24 and therefore estimates her husband Bob’s John’s birth year as about the same time or a few years earlier, at about 1745.
Then, the problem arises of the 1761 list, which indicates that “plain” John was a head of household by then. It is not known whether Bob’s John had a wife prior to Margaret Pownall. If so, the wife and children of that marriage have not been identified and no records about them are extant. If not, any children born to Bob’s John and Margaret between 1761 and 1771, when their son Nathaniel was born, have not been identified. Only wife/widow Margaret and three male children, Nathaniel, John, and Nimrod, were mentioned in later records in South Carolina and, sadly, Bob’s John left no family information in the form of a will or estate administration.
If, and it is an enormous “if”, John “Senior” is the same person as “Wake” John as well as the father of Bob’s John, logic and math put “Wake” John’s estimated birth year before 1720, and that is assuming Bob’s John was his first child and that each John reproduced by the age of twenty. Wake John’s wife Hannah ceased producing children in about 1780. Assuming menopause at age fifty-five puts her birth year about 1725, again not an unusual difference in age. However, this is strictly speculative.
An additional issue in identifying Bob’s John as a son of “Wake” John is that of “Buncombe” John, born about 1768 while “Wake” John’s children were being born, whose descendants are a closer DNA match to “Wake” John’s known descendants, and whose children bore eerily similar first names to those of “Wake” John’s close family. There is a case to be made that Bob’s John’s parents were William and Mary..
Therefore, what is known for certain is that Bob’s John was closely associated geographically and genetically with the Sandy Creek group, that he was not in North Carolina before 1755, and that he married Margaret Pownall, daughter of John and Margaret, lived in North Carolina and departed for South Carolina after 1772 and before 1779, with tax lists for the years between having gone missing. Also, it is known from the 1850 Alabama probate administration25 that he was not listed as a son of old Spencer, leaving his exact parentage as yet another mystery. [see Chapter 6C]
In what is now Lancaster County, South Carolina, Bob’s John obtained a parcel of 75 acres at the mouth of Cedar Creeek in Craven County, bounded on one side by the Wateree River, via lease and release deeds on 24 February, 1779.26 John and the seller, Robert Lee, were both “of Saint Mark’s Parish, Province of South Carolina.” Of note: the deeds were witnessed by two William Tilmans, Senior and Junior.
However, the deeds were not recorded until 14 January 1792, long after the war. In the South Carolina archives, Bob found an undated list titled “Return of Persons Who Have Gone Over to the British in Captain Jesse Tillman’s Co., Col. Marshall’s Regiment”27 on which appeared the name of John Pendergrass, lending credence to his having fought on both sides and the legend in that family that John was killed by marauding Tories, though there is no surviving record of his death. Bob also found presumptive evidence that John’s land was confiscated, at least for a time.28
A Lancaster County deed29 recorded 6 April, 1807 establishes a relationship of three of John’s sons by showing that in January of that year Nimrod Pendergrass, with his wife Martha waiving dower, conveyed to John Pendergrass [Jr] his half of a tract of land willed to the two of them by their grandfather John Powell/Pownall and witnessed by their apparent brother Nathaniel, and a man named Phillip Shewhart. The land was described as having been conveyed to their grandfather by Thomas Charlton in 1785, but that original conveyance of 150 acres on Rocky Creek30 was to John Pownall, not Powell, and so spelled throughout the documents. The witnesses were William Mays and George Pownall. These instruments proved the relationship between the three known sons of Bob’s John and Margaret Pownall to her father John. George Pownall’s identity has not been established.
If Bob’s John was one of the two Johns who appeared on the 1761 “Haus Capers” list of delinquent tax payers, he was head of household by 1761 and likely to have been married by then, leaving a gap of some years before the birth of their first known child in 1771, as well as later gaps between births. No records have been found for daughters who married out or children who died before marrying, and it is not known whether any existed, adding to the evidence that “Wake” John was not “Bob’s” John’s father.
A brief outline of some known descendants is presented below, but for an in-depth exploration of the descendants of Bob’s John Pendergrass, the reader is referred to Bob’s excellent book. As noted above, recent discoveries have overtaken some of the information given in his book about events prior to John and Margaret’s marriage, but if a conflict is found in their downline, the reader should assume Bob’s book is correct, while, as always, carefully checking the original records to resolve any doubts.
__________Generation 1__________
1. “BOB’S” JOHN1 PENDERGRASS was born about 1745 and it is not known where, but at some place and time prior to the arrival of Spencer, John, and William in 1755 Old Granville, North Carolina. His birth year is very roughly estimated from his wife’s known birth year of 1748, but could have been earlier. He married Margaret Pownall, daughter of John Pownall and Margaret Nelson, before 1770 in Bute County, North Carolina, implied from birth of first known child in 1771 and possible first appearance on a tax list (unless he was 1761 John [Jr] ) in Robert Day’s household in 1766.Margaret’s birth was on 10 November 1748 in the Overwharton Parish register, Stafford Co, Virginia. It is likely that there were other children as yet unidentified.

This is the loving tribute Robert “Bob’s” family wrote as his obituary in 2012:
“Robert Allison Pendergrast, retired chemical engineer, died on July 26, 2012 at age 89 in Atlanta. The youngest of four brothers born to John Brittain and Ruth Hodnett Pendergrast, Bob was a lifelong resident of Atlanta. He attended Druid Hills High School where he learned to play the upright bass, and graduated from Georgia tech in 1943 at the age of 20, at a time when the push for more engineers for the war meant year round classes for three years. After a semester of graduate school, he answered the call to duty during World War 2, when he was recruited to work on the Manhattan Project in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. There he worked as a scientist contributing to the development of the atom bomb. After the war, he and his brother Ambrose founded the Pendergrast Chemical Company in Atlanta, manufacturing agricultural chemicals until 1965. He completed his professional engineering career with USS Agrichemicals in Decatur. A man of many talents, he was a jazz musician with the Emory Aces in his college years, and later played bass and piano with “The Seventeen”, a jazz band made up of Atlanta business men and professionals. He met his wife, Elizabeth Irwin Lapsley, in the choir at Druid Hills Presbyterian Church. They were married in 1954 and remained active in church music all of their lives, and could often be found singing hymns around the piano with their children, or folk songs with his guitar around a campfire. He became choir director at Clairmont Presbyterian Church where his wife Libba was organist and he served as an elder. They were instrumental in acquiring a new organ for the church, which he was also able to repair and maintain. He was an excellent sailor and had one of the first sailboats on Lake Allatoona after its opening. After retirement, he returned to school and studied musical composition at Georgia State University and then published several church anthems which are widely used and loved. His love of horticulture can still be seen in the many flowering camellias and azaleas around his home, knowing the botanical names and history of them all. Devoted to his family, he spent his later years researching family genealogy, published a book of Pendergrast family history, and loved to recount detailed stories of the lives of his ancestors. Exceptionally well read, he complained recently to his son that it was increasingly difficult to find a book in the library that he had not read. Preceded in death by his parents and his oldest brother Ambrose Hodnett Pendergrast, he is survived by two brothers, John Brittain Pendergrast, Jr. and William Jefferson Pendergrast, his wife, Elizabeth Lapsley Pendergrast, three children, Samuel Lapsley Pendergrast, Robert A. Pendergrast, Jr., and Ruth Elizabeth Pendergrast, and eight grandchildren. A memorial service will be held at 3:30 PM on Sunday, July 29th at Emory Presbyterian Church, with a reception to follow. The family will also receive friends from 6-8 PM on Saturday, July 28th at A. S. Turner and Sons Funeral Home and Crematory.”

Chapter 12, The “Job” and Luke Groups of Orange County
A. Descendants of Robert and/or William Pendergrass, Sr
First and foremost, it should be stated that notwithstanding speculation elsewhere (and all over the internet), as of the publication of this book in 2023, there is nothing whatsoever known for certain about the origins of this North Carolina Pendergrass family before 1752/5. Any connection to other Pendergrasses anywhere postulated before that date is unproven at best and wildly misleading at worst. [PLEASE see Chapters 3 and 6A for an outline of the many errors previously published and posted about this family]
Orange County, North Carolina, was formed in 1752 from parts of Bladen, old Granville and Johnston counties. Tax lists were begun at the beginning of the county, but the first one was not finalized until 1755, so it is not possible to know in exactly which year Robert Pendergrass first arrived there or from whence he came. Luckily for researchers of this group, the Chapel Hill area where it settled was not often affected by county line changes, which makes members of this family more stable and easier to identify than some other branches. Also, there were several revolutionary veterans who lived to apply for pension benefits and those applications, along with their neighbors’, contain a wealth of personal information.
Records of predecessor and adjacent counties in North Carolina have been searched thoroughly, but there are no traces of any Pendergrass groups in surviving records before 1752/5. In 1755, some 5,000 new settlers came into inland North Carolina from Virginia1, but whether Robert arrived with them or was already there a few years earlier is not known. It is very unlikely that he came by boat as has been stated elsewhere, because virtually all the settlers who arrived in the area in the 1750s came overland down the old trading route from or through Petersburg, Virginia.2 In general, North Carolina rivers were not sufficiently navigable to allow arrival in Orange County by boat from the coast.3
The traditional and generally unquestioned theory in older works4 and thousands of online trees copied from them, has been that Orange County Robert was the same baby boy born in 1711 St Stephen’s Parish, Northumberland County, Virginia12A, and that his brother William, listed there as born 1714, split off to the Sandy Creek area of what was first Old Granville, then Bute, then Franklin County. The births of these real children were recorded in reverse order by the same hand on the same day, but with neither parent listed for either.5 [Note: despite hundreds of other online entries showing fictional births and marriages in Northumberland County, only the births of these two boys and the death of some John Pendergrass who left widow Elizabeth Unknown are recorded in extant records there.] It has been assumed elsewhere that baby Robert named a son William for his baby brother who settled some 60 miles away in another North Carolina county.6 However, YDNA testing of descendants of Orange County Robert’s group and Bute County William’s group has shown conclusively that this theory is incorrect, because these two groups are genetically unrelated at least as far back as about1700.7 One or the other of them could have been one of the baby brothers, but not both.
It has also been published in other works that the two groups witnessed deeds and other documents for each other8, but now that these two groups have been separated into distinct families, no such record has been located. This assertion stemmed from the same erroneous blending of the two unrelated groups, as did the statement that both families bestowed the first name Pleasant.9 The Sandy Creek group did not have a child named Pleasant for at least another hundred years. [Note: Having the fairly common given name “Pleasant” was not an indication of a relationship to the Pleasants family, but was similar to naming a child Prudence or Piety or Temperance.]
In view of this new information, the traditional theory must be reconstructed entirely and the two groups must be considered separately. [see Chapters 7 through 11 for the Sandy Creek group]
The first mention of some Robert or any Pendergrass in Orange County, is on the undated tax list10 which was compiled between 1752 and 175512B, and it should be noted that by then some of those who have usually been placed as sons of William Sr (Robert’s son, brother, or other relative) and William Sr himself, had already been born somewhere. According to their respective pension applications as old men, William Sr’s son, nicknamed by researchers “Chatham” John [Sr] was born in 1749, William Jr about 1750, David [Sr] about 1751 and Job about 1753 - not at sea or in Ireland unless this family was fresh off the boat in that year. In fact, although it is not supported by any record found by this author and is probably based only on their having enlisted as young men from Orange County, researchers have long believed that at least one of Job’s older brothers reported in a pension application or related document that he was born in landlocked North Carolina (despite having been born a year or two before the Orange County was officially formed), so Job was not likely born at sea and certainly not in Ireland.
There is an internal conlict in logic in the theory that landlocked Orange County Robert and William were born in Northumberland County, Virginia, and migrated to North Carolina to settle, but that their children or grandchildren were born back in Ireland or “at sea”.
In 1755, Robert Pindergrass was head of household and listed only one white poll, himself, on this tax list, meaning that in that year there were no other males over the age of 16 in his household. This leads one to wonder if the William Sr who appeared near him much later was actually his son or brother or cousin, and if so, where he was living in the 1750s while his own children were being born. On the same district tax list in 1752/5, were a John Hogwood and son James, Thomas Loyd, John Stroud and his son, Joshua, Gideon Bunch (a free “molata”), and many other neighbors,12A but there were no other Pendergrasses mentioned on a surviving record until 1778.11 That isn’t to say they could not have been there.
On 5 April, 1761, John Edwards surveyed some land on Mark’s Creek adjoining Thomas Durham and John Price.12 Witnesses were James Watson and Jonathon Lea, and sworn chain carriers were James Hogwood, and Robert Pendergrass, W. Churton, surveyor.12 Again on 8 March 1762 Robert Pendergrass was a sworn chain carrier for W. Churton’s survey of land for Joshua Easton on both sides of Bollins Creek of New Hope, joining land of Jonathon King. Witnesses were James Watson again, and John Morgan, and the other sworn chain carrier was Thomas Odien.13 Carrying a survey chain sounds simple enough, but in fact was heavy physical work involving clearing away of brush and trees, and it was most often done by younger men or teenagers. If Orange County Robert were in fact the Robert born in 1711 Northumberland, he’d have been fifty-one years old while carrying the survey chain, so it is possible there was another, younger Robert, and/or that Orange County Robert was not the same Robert born in Northumberland County, Virginia in 1711. (If the same person born in 1711 Northumberland, Robert would have been in his early 40s when first appearing in Orange County records.)
One month later, in May 1761, Robert was assigned road duty for a road from the courthouse at Hillsborough to Pendergrass Ford on Morgan’s Creek,14 and was on a road jury for laying out a road from Little River to Johnston’s Plantation.15 Being assigned road duty, which many landowners were, is not necessarily an indication that he was expected to do the manual labor personally, but only that he was required to provide hands to do it.
In 1777, Luke Prendergast first appeared on a tax list in Caswell County16, and was mentioned on tax lists, deeds and grants in both Caswell and Orange counties until his testate death in 1831 [see below].
By 1778, in September, another Pendergrass man, William [Sr], had obtained 260 acres of land on Obed’s Creek17, the grant not issued officially until 9 November 1784.
On 7 July 1784 some Robert bonded to marry Nancy McDonnel in Orange County, bondsmen: Alexander Anderson and John Thompson; Jesse Benton, Clerk.18 The Robert whose 1711 birth was listed in the Northumberland County church register would have been 73 years old by then.
It is important to set aside long-ingrained notions and remember that despite previous theories now proven to be wrong, there is no actual evidence of any exact family relationship between Robert and William Sr except similar surnames and locations, and nothing except the facts outlined above to indicate their probable ages. Researchers have been told for so long in other works that William Sr was the son of Robert and that Orange County, Robert was the same Robert born in Northumberland County, Virginia in 1711, that it is difficult to set aside those old ideas and look from a fresh viewpoint at the more numerous and complete facts now known and provable.
Since early records are scarce for Orange County in those years, it is not known whether or when William arrived or whether he was listed on other records now missing, or was in someone else’s household, or exactly what his relationship to Robert was. The assumption has been that he was Robert’s son only because he obtained land in 1778, about 23 years later than Robert’s first listing and because some of his children were born in the 1750s. While this may be a logical and even correct interpretation of the known facts, there are too many records missing to be able to state anything with certainty. Also, if Orange County Robert and William were the same Robert and William as the baby boys listed in the Northumberland parish register, or if William was really Robert’s son and born by 1730 to have a son of his own born in 1749, why did he not appear in Robert’s household or one of his own on the 1752/5 or any other list? The pension applications of William Sr’s apparent sons indicate that they enlisted from Orange County in their mid-twenties, putting William in the area with young adult sons by the 1770s. Why, then, were he and they listed in no extant public record there until the land grant in 1778?
The exact relationships between 1752 tax list Robert, 1761/2 chain carrying Robert, the Robert who married in 1784, and William Sr with the revolutionary sons born in the 1750s, and the Will Pendergrass (not William Jr) who served for the entire length of the revolutionary war, may never be known, though they all sprang from the same genetic family.
What is clear from a later land deed to him is that William Sr and his wife Martha “Patti” Unknown had a son, William Jr, of age to enlist in the militia as well as pay someone to fight in his place in the Revolution by 1776,19 and so probably born in the 1750s, as were his apparent brothers “Chatham” John Sr, David Sr, and Job, also revolutionary veterans and also placed by other authors as William Sr’s sons. There was also at least one daughter, Jemima who married Abijah Massey20, and a possible son Luke.
Applying math and logic, then, if William Sr were old enough to have been married with his first known child born by 1749, he was born no later than about 1729, and probably earlier, meaning his father must have been born by about 1709 and probably earlier, thus making the Robert born in Northumberland in 1711 a very tight fit indeed, and eliminating Middlesex County Robert, born 1717, altogether. Another possibility is that William was Robert’s younger brother, born 1714 and that the two were in fact the two baby boys born in Northumberland County in 1711 and 1714. If born in 1714, William Sr would have been 35 when his first known son was born. Either man could have had daughters first who did not show up in the records, or either man might have married late, or they might not have been the Northumberland baby boys at all - there is simply no way of knowing.
If, and it is an “if” with a forty year gap in time, they were in fact the two Northumberland County brothers, Robert, born 1711 would have been in his early forties when he came to North Carolina, and if there was a William in Orange County before 1778, he was not listed as a head of household on any surviving list, nor was he taxed in Robert’s household or mentioned in any other surviving record.
Richmond County, Virginia, Robert Spendergrass, who had to have been born no later than 1716 to have been sued in his own right and jointly with his probable father James Spendergrass[Jr]21 could also have been born by 1711 and if so qualifies just as well as Northumberland Robert to have been the Robert who came into Orange County by 1755. He is no tighter a time fit to be William’s father or brother than Northumberland Robert, and he is not mentioned in Richmond County records after 1740. There is nothing ruling him in or out as the Robert who came to Orange County. However, there is no William Spendergrass mentioned in Richmond County colonial records and that family is firmly documented..
Another possibility, though less likely, to be Orange County Robert is the Robert Pendergrass born about 1661 and indentured in Westmoreland County in 167822, listed as an immigrant servant. Adjudged by the court to have been an orphan born 1661, he’d have been 69 years old and probably out of the running for the rôle of William Sr’s father, or even brother, but is included here in the interest of thoroughness and because one just never knows about a Pendergrass man.
And, of course, the Robert who came into Orange County, for all that is provable, could have come overland straight from a Virginia harbor, and be none of the above. There is as yet no provable connection other than the name, between 1752/5 Orange County Robert and any other Robert.
A forty year gap in the records is a lot to overcome when proving identity.
There are a few hints and whiffs of the very barest of connections between the two genetically unrelated families, Orange and Sandy Creek, which in fairness should not be omitted without discussion. One is that both families married into the Massey family, but this is easily explained by the fact that the prominent and widespread Massey family had been in North Carolina for decades, beginning in old Bertie Precinct even before counties were formed. Slightly harder to explain is that the closest friend and in-law of the John Pendergrass in Sandy Creek (Granville/Bute/Warren) was one of the Hezekiah Masseys in that area and that Robert of Orange had an apparent descendant named Hezekiah Pendergrass23. Hezekiah wasn’t as unusual a name in those days as it is now, and there were several generations of Hezekiah Masseys in North Carolina, but its use by anyone in the Orange County group is all the same suggestive.
Two of Robert’s earliest mentions in Orange County were as a sworn survey chain carrier. In Granville, County, Spencer (S)pendergrass’ first mention in 1755 was as a chain carrier,24 in 1760, some John Pendergrass was a chain carrier on Sandy Creek in old Granville County,25 and some Bute County John Pendergrass was a chain carrier once or twice in the Countryline District,26 though they were all for different surveyors and being a sworn chain carrier was not a rare thing. There are also faint references to Pettipool neighbors on various tax lists in both counties.
Of more interest and weight is that over in Granville, Bute, and Warren Counties, the Sandy Creek
group (William, two or more Johns and Spencer Sr), lived near and associated with Aaron Fussell, Sr and Jr, continuously from 1755 until 1786. Aaron Fussell, Sr’s will27 lists a son Moses Fussell, and in 1779 there is a man of that name on the tax list with Robert, William, and Luke Pendergrass in Orange County.28
Whether any of this has any meaning in terms of a family relationship is called into question by recent YDNA testing, which clearly shows that if Robert of Orange and William of Granville/Bute were ever related genetically, their descendants no longer are, at least through the male line.29 Descendants of three (perhaps four) of Orange County William Sr’s apparent sons have been tested. Those who descend from Job and “Chatham” John were a solid match to each other, to Luke, to a Phillip in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. and to Pendergrass men in County Mayo, Ireland, but not to the Sandy Creek “Wake John” Pendergrass group.30 A gentleman who descended on paper from Thomas, heir [son?] of the unplaced William who served during the entire revolution and died shortly afterward, had roots through a Kentucky Shaker community, and did not match any known Pendergrass from North Carolina or Ireland, and had matches which were predominately German and Scandinavian.31 Since Shakers did not allow biological reproduction by members of their religion, this gentleman’s ancestor could have been adopted into the community by someone with the Pendergrass name, but there are certainly many other possible explanations.
Of keen interest in piecing together the real history of North Carolina Pendergrasses is that descendants of the Sandy Creek group in Granville/Bute/Warren/Wake counties match each other closely, but do not whatsoever match the descendants of Job and “Chatham” John, apparent sons of Orange County William Sr., who also match each other solidly, thus virtually extinguishing the entire thesis that the two separate North Carolina groups were founded by the two Northumberland baby brothers.31 A descendant of Luke Prendergast, who married in Baltimore in 1768 and came (back?) to Orange and Caswell counties by 1777 and was on tax lists near known sons of William Sr is also a match to the Orange County group, to Phillip of Carlisle, Pennsylvania, and men in County Mayo.32
Further discussion of YDNA results can be found in Chapter 17, herein.
Whether they were ever genetically related or not, each group carried on with life in its respective county without leaving any record evidence of a connection to the other.
Elsewhere, also, it has been published, and copied many times, that Robert’s wife was Elizabeth Manley.33 This fictional name was based on two unwarranted assumptions. First, it was assumed that the Robert born in 1711 Northumberland County, (who was assumed to have been a son of the John who died there in 1715), was the same person as the Robert of Richmond County who was sued with his apparent father James Spendergrass[Jr] and who did have a wife named Elizabeth Unknown.34 Whether the two Roberts were the same person (unlikely) and whether either or both of them were also the same person as the Robert who came into Orange County is completely unproven. Then, consistent with his habit of inventing maiden names from nothing, that author hypothesized the far-fetched maiden name Manley for “Elizabeth” because somewhere several generations downline, Orange County Robert may have had two great grandsons with the first name Manley. (Sons of Chatham John, Jr ? and of William Jr’s son John) As of now, there is not even a hint of the real name of Robert of Orange County’s wife, if any, first or maiden.
Similarly, the maiden name of William Sr’s wife Martha/”Patti” is undocumented. In a 1796 Orange County deed to William Pickett35, her name as wife of William was given as Patti, a nickname for Martha, and she signed (marked) Martha, but her maiden name was not given and marriage records prior to July 1784 in Orange County were destroyed in the revolutionary war. The hypothesis that she was an Atwater (or Piper or Covey) because her son Job was bondsman for an Atwater (or Piper or Covey) marriage or that her maiden name was Titus because someone in her downline had that as a first name, are just more unwarranted assumptions. The idea that her maiden name was “ Jobe” because someone once spelled her son’s first name as “Jobe” instead of “Job” to lengthen the vowel36 does not merit discussion. A deed from an Atwater in South Carolina fifty years after the marriage would likewise have no bearing on Martha’s maiden name, as has been assumed elsewhere.37 [Note: Some William Sr was still alive in 1809 to execute a deed of gift to William Jr, but Patti was head of household in the 1820 Orange County census, near an apparently widowed Rebecca Pendergrass, also head of her own household]
In 1779 Orange County, some Robert, some William, and Luke Pendergrass were on a by-letter tax list together, with William Duke, Abijah Massey who married into the family, and Moses Fussell.38 Robert was taxed for 400 pounds and listed only one name from William, who was taxed for 590 pounds, each having listed only himself as taxable. Luke Pendergrass listed 2 taxables and was charged 570 pounds. His name was a bit further away from William and Robert on the same list, which is not probative of anything in particular, since tax lists, in alpha order or not, were not taken door to door like the census. but were turned in to the sheriff by the householders themselves.
Most researchers, including this one, until recently have not included Luke as a son of William, Sr, of Orange, despite his proximity and Biblical name, and some have thought that since he was married in Maryland and lived there for a time before coming to North Carolina, that he was a likely son of Garrett Sr of Bedford, Pennsylvania. It is now known, however, that a traditionally documented descendant of Luke was a genetic match to the Orange County group and did not at all match a traditionally documented descendant of Garrett Sr.39 Since he was not mentioned by name in revolutionary documents and his will gave no indication of a relationship to anyone other than his wife and descendants, his exact connection to the Orange County group remains undetermined. Although he lived among them and was of the same approximate age as the revolutionary brothers, Luke was literate and well educated when they were not, was perhaps a bit wealthier than they, and had lived out of state. Whether he was born in North Carolina, was sent away to school and then returned some years later or whether the genetic match occurred earlier in time is not known. Descendants of Luke and the Orange County group also match a descendant of Phillip Pendergrass of Carlisle, Pennsylvania, and men in County Mayo, Ireland.40 (There is always the possibility that the Garrett “descendant” did not come from an unbroken biological downline from him.)
Luke’s parentage, birth place and date are unknown, but on 26 January 1768 in Baltimore, Maryland, he married (as Luke Pindergist) one Rachel Simmons, born 6 April 1751, apparent daughter of George Simmons and Elizabeth Fuller.41 The couple then resided in Maryland for a few years, where their first children were born. In the 1850 North Carolina census, their son George stated that he had been born in Maryland, confirming that the Luke and Rachel couple married in Baltimore was in fact the same Luke and Rachel couple who relocated to North Carolina.42
Luke was head of household on a Caswell county tax list in 1777, and in 1779 he listed himself as head of household with one other unidentified male over the age of 16 in his household, too old to have been a son of his marriage to Rachel.43 Also in 1779, he obtained a grant of 300 acres on the waters of Jordan Creek44 and in 1794 he obtained a grant of 100 acres on the waters of North Hico adjoining the Caswell County Line.45 Thereafter, Luke Pendergast bought, sold and was taxed for several more large parcels of land in Orange, Caswell and Person Counties.46 He appeared in various land and other records, and signed in full as Luke Prendergast his professionally prepared last will and testament on 11 November 1819, not in contemplation of death.47 The will was not probated until the Caswell County court term of April 1831 and left a life estate in everything he owned to “well beloved wife Rachel”, specific bequests to two grandchildren, and the balance to be divided equally between his five named children, Thomas, George, John B[aker] of Tennessee, Elizabeth (Adams) and Rachel (Harrison)
Since his parentage is unverified but he was a genetic match to the Orange County group, Luke’s descendants are listed in this Chapter beneath those of William Sr and his revolutionary offspring.
Most of the rich personal information about the Orange County revolutionaries comes from pension applications submitted decades later by themselves, their widows or their children and neighbors, so some of it was muddled by time and much of it was hearsay. It should also be noted that in early years, obtaining a pension necessitated being at least to some extent an invalid, as well as being poor. It follows that while the applications and affidavits were sworn to be true, they were also presented in the light most favorable to obtaining benefits.
B. “Chatham “ John, [12-A] According to pension applications,48 John was born on 2 August 1749 and died 4 June 1830 at the age of 81, so his probable parents, William, Sr. and Martha “Patti” Unknown, were married or together by about 1748 at the latest. He enlisted at age 26 [the average age for a male’s first marriage] on 20 May1776 for a term of three years under Thomas Clark in the North Carolina Line, and he was the John who was “sick at Valley Forge” before his enlistment was over on May 20th 1779.49 He saw no battle. Afterward, he served two three-month tours with the local light horse dragoons “to keep the Tories in check”. At some point early in his service, he married and had a jump start on a family, as Mary Rigsbee stated she was five months pregnant with their first child, James, when they married, around 1777.[c.f.infra]
In the 1790 Chatham County census, John was head of household, over age 16, with one male under 16 and two females of unspecified age.
In the 1800 Chatham County census, John and Mary each were listed as 26-44 with 1 female 10-15, and three boys and a girl under age ten, with no way of knowing who they were.
The 1810 census is missing for several North Carolina counties, and John cannot be found in that year on any record, although he was still in the County in 1818 to apply for his pension.
In the 1820 Chatham county census, John was over 45 with 1 female of the same age, a female 20-44, a female 10-15 and a boy under 10. in the household.
On 8 June 1818, John Pendergrass “the elder” had begun the arduous process of obtaining a government pension for his revolutionary service, beginning with an application made on that date and signed with a crude slanted mark “M”.50 He stated that his age was 68, outlined his military service and poverty, and requested aid from his country. An affidavit of a neighbor, John Sparrow, who marked with “+”, stated that he was well acquainted with John from living near him and that John had no land or stock other than a little furniture.51 In 1820, John submitted a more detailed statement saying he was aged 71, that he had been a lieutenant at the end of his service, and that his family consisted of his wife, Molly (nickname for Mary), about 60 years old, his daughters Bathsheba, 39, [Je]Mima, 23, a deafmute, and Candis aged 14, as well as grandson Westley, 8 and granddaughter Tilda, 2. He listed his property as one mare about 5 years old worth less than $25, 1 hogg, 1 iron pot, 1 loom and one cotton wheel. He said that he was a farmer by occupation but could work very little because he was “worn down by age and infirmity”.52 He died in June 183053 and no census record for him was found for that year.
There has been a great deal of confusion about John’s marriage dates and children’s birth years, still mostly unresolved, and leading to other problems such as the creation of a very unlikely“first wife”, not named by any published author but given the name Bathsheba Massey by some online quirk. There is no known record of such a person. Likewise, the confusion about their children’s birth dates has given rise to other false assumptions and, in other works, the creation of additional persons who likely never existed.
John’s birth date was stated specifically, but Mary’s birth year fluctuated wildly from record to record, and she herself did not know her own age.54 In 1818, John said she was about 60, so born about 1748. In her application in 1836,55 she believed she was 80, and in 1838 still 80, so born 1756/8. In the 1800 census, she was said to have been born between 1756 and 1774, and in the 1850 census she was listed as one hundred years old exactly, so born in 1750 and giving her an average birth year of about 1753.
John made no statement as to the number or year of his marriage but in her attempts to obtain her widow’s pension, Mary made several conflicting statements. In her November 1837 affidavit she said she didn’t know the date or year of her marriage but thought it might have been a couple of months before the battle of Guilford Courthouse [March 15 1781].56 In her 15 May 1838 affidavit, Mary tried again, this time saying they were married in the fall of 1777, but two months later thought it was in October 1780.
She twice thought she was married in 1777, during John’s first tour of duty, then 1779, then the Spring of 1781 with two children born within a few months during that same year, then finally settling, after talking to neighbors, on the last Thursday in October 1780 as the marriage date, with her first child, James, born at the end of February 1781, and moving Barsheba’s birth date back to 18 September 1783, based on a friend’s recollection of when her own son was born.57 One helpful witness stated a clear recollection that the marriage took place about two months after Gate’s Defeat (Battle of Camden, 16 August 1780) because it was still the topic of conversation at the wedding, which would put the wedding in October 1780.58 Another witness, John Dolly [Dollar], stated that he spent the night at John’s home, not too long after the Battle of Lindley’s Mill (September 13th, 1781) and that John was a married man at that time.59 Unfortunately, he didn’t say how many children there were at the time of his visit. In his supporting affdavit, Luke Rigsby stated that he knew they were married at the time of the Revolution in which John served. Then, on 24 February 1848, in an affidavit in support of the marriage of neighbor Charles King,60 Mary/Molly Pendergrass, then residing in Chatham County but previously in Orange, remembered attending their wedding two or three years after her own, which she stated was in the fall of 1776.[!]
In her original petition, Mary also stated that she remembered her husband enlisting in 1776, which he in fact did.
Yet another friendly witness stated that Mary was “entirely illiterate” and though a woman of truth and veracity, she had no idea whatsoever of the month, day or year of her birth or marriage,61 which certainly seems to have been an accurate assessment.
In fact, one of the government bureaucrats left personal notes that have survived and are included in “Chatham” John’s pension file.62 They are a bit difficult to decode, but they indicate that he, too, was bewildered about this couple’s actual marriage date. [12-D]
“wid in decl made in 1837 by McCraig states that she was married 2 mos before the battle of Guilford’s says abt Jany 1780. In her decl made April? 1838 she states that it was in 1777, In her decl of July 1838 she states that it was in Oct 1780 Had a child 39 years old in 1820 was born 1781 See decl under act 1818” [Note: Basha was at least their second child] And this confused gentleman didn’t even know about the 1848 affidavit in which she gave the marriage year as 1776 !
Further, in his application for additional benefits,63 Edward’s stated age showed he was born before 1780, and he was at least John and Mary’s third child, born after James and Bathsheba.
In his 1977 book, Allen Pendergraft argues that John “must have had” a first wife based on the birth years of his alleged (fictional) son Matthew “Sr” and his known son John Jr because they were born before the war, with Matthew in brackets born in 1770-1780 with a question mark64 and John, Jr born 1772.65
To deal with Matthew [“Sr”] first: there is nothing at all to indicate that John Sr had a son named Matthew and certainly not one born between 1771 and 1780. No Matthew is mentioned in any record in conjunction with John, and in later records Matthew [“Jr”] gave his birthplace only as North Carolina. The John E[li] Pendergrass born 1803 and assumed by Allen to have been Matthew[“Sr”]’s son, was said by him to have been on a Chatham County census,66 but if true, that is the only known connection. This extended Pendergrass family lived on both sides of the county line. When John and Mary’s son Edward applied twice for extra pension benefits in 1853 and 1854, he applied on behalf of himself and his siblings, Thomas, Candace and Barsheby - no mention of any Matthew (nor of Jemimah or Augustine or James.)67 JPendergrass[Jr] signed in the corner of this document, apparently as a witness.
Assuming, arguendo, that Matthew was a son of “Chatham” John, Sr. rather than William Jr, Allen Pendergraft made a basic mistake in calculating his age. He based the 1770 birth year on the assumption that the older man in the household in the 1840 Bledsoe County, Tennessee census “must have been” the head of household, a hypothetical Matthew [“Sr”] born between 1771 and 1780.68 However, the head of household was not always the oldest man or woman in the home, and in this case Allen simply assumed a Matthew Sr as head of household living with Matthew [Jr] and wife, which, based on other census records,was probably not the situation at all. The unnamed older man in the household could have been anyone, and, moreover, could have been born as late as 1780, definitely disqualifying him as father of the Matthew born 1789 to 1793.
Instead, the real Matthew Pendergrass, born about 1793, married Naomi Bradford in Randolph County, adjacent to Orange, on 9 February, 1817,69 and their ages were consistent from that day forward. In the 1840 Bledsoe County Tennessee census, in addition to the unidentified male 60-69, there were a male and female both 40-49 years of age, consistent with Matthew and Naomi’s ages, as well as some younger people, one a white male in the right age bracket to have been their son John Eli.[II].
In 1850 Bledsoe, Matthew and Naomi were 61 and 60, in 1860, both 65 and in 1870, both were 77, putting their birth years at about 1789 to 1793. Even if there were anything to suggest “Chatham” John had a son Matthew, it would have been the Matthew who married Naomi Bradford, and that son was born about 1793, long after John’s marriage to Mary Rigsbee and with no reason to believe his mother was anyone else. However, although he was plainly part of the Orange County Pendergrass family, there is nothing to establish Matthew as a son of “Chatham” John and Mary Rigsby, and at least as good an argument for his having been a son of “Chatham” John’s brother William Jr, whose father-in-law was Matthew Sparrow. There is no evidence in North Carolina or Tennessee of any Matthew born 1771-1780, only the one born 1789/93.
The second part of Allen’s argument for a “first” wife for “Chatham” John is even simpler to refute: he estimated John Jr’s birth as 1772 for no particular reason, but in the 1850 Chatham census, when he was living next door to Rigsbees and Dollars with his mother Mary, 100 years of age, and sister Candis, 40, and a laborer named Coley Dollar, 21, literate John Jr stated that he was 66 and therefore born in 1784, well after any of the marriage dates mentioned by Mary. On 1 March 1845, and again in 1852, he made affidavits in support of revolutionary benefits for adult children of Jesse Rigsby and Elizabeth Pickett,70 stating that he had known them since childhood, attended their wedding, and knew that Jesse Rigsby had been wounded in the war by the Tories. He signed for himself as JPendergrass and in 1849 stated that he was 70 years old, making him born in 177971 (if not 1784.) Since it is known for certain that he was the son of “Chatham” John, Sr, and younger than elder siblings James, Bathsheba and Edward, proven children of Mary Rigsby, and since his mother Mary was living with him in 1850, it is clear that his parents’ marriage took place long before the 1780/81 date on which Mary finally settled after her several attempts.
Thus, the thesis of a fictional, assumed Matthew “Sr” and an inaccurate birth year for John Jr. as reasons to create a “first” wife for “Chatham” John is unconvincing at best, and no one in print or online has given any authority or reason for the name Bathsheba Massey. That name seems to have been created from John and Mary’s real daughter Bathsheba and John’s real sister Jemimah’s marriage to Abijah Massey. There were Pendergrass - Massey unions, but no record of any Bathsheba Massey has been found.
Revisiting the real records, then, makes it plain that “Chatham” John did not have time for more than one wife: Mary Rigsbee, and that their marriage took place several years before 1781, possibly even as early as 1776 or 1777, when Mary remembered that her husband first enlisted.
Also not very troublesome is the issue of whether “Chatham” John and Mary’s first born provable child, James, with whom she was five months pregnant at her marriage, was or was not the same person as the provable adult son Edward who tried to obtain extra pension funds after the deaths of his parents. In her widow’s application,72 Mary plainly called her first born “James” and put his birth in various years, possibly as early as 1777, but finally settling on February 1781. She did not state whether he was still alive at the time of her application in 1837, and James, if living, would have been well into middle age at 56, but his mother did not call him Edward or even the unlikely double “James Edward”, but simply “James”.
Edward (at least their third child) states in the 1850 census that he was born by 1780 and in pension records firmly identifies himself as Mary’s son.73 Nowhere in his petition to the government in 1854 is there any mention of himself as anything other than just Edward. Middle names for British Isles folk were still a rare exception in 1780. There was also no mention of James (deceased?) or Jemima (married), Matthew or Augustine, the latter two having already left for Tennessee whether sons of John and Mary or not. He petitioned only on behalf of himself, and siblings Barsheba, Candis, and Thomas. In the lower left corner of the document there is a signature of JPendergrass which appears to match the JPendergrass who signed for Jesse Rigsby - John, Jr, was still living and in the area in 1855.
In his 1977 book,74 Allen Pendergraft lists the composite “ James Edward” and says only: “Pen. App. as ‘James’ but in 1854 deposition as ‘Edward’ - must be same person” as his sole evidence. With the birth and marriage dates for this family so muddled and conflicting that an error of even one year could affect the entire family composition, and with no firmer evidence than the mere possibility of a son Matthew with an arbitrary birth date of 1770, the creation of a “first” wife seems completely unjustified. Moreover, there is no appearance in records near “Chatham“ John of any sons who were not accounted for by his marriage to Mary, and no mention at all of a Matthew. So as best they can be cobbled together amid the internal conflicts, it appears clear to this author that the identified children of Chatham John with his only known wife, Mary Rigsbee, were :
1. James, born about 1777/8
2. Bathsheba/Barsheba born about 1779/80
2. Edward, born about 1781/1782
4. John, Junior, born about 1784
5. Matthew born about 1793 [likelier a son of William Jr?]
6. Jemima born 1797
7. Augustine “Gus” Ben born about 1799 [tentative at best ]
8. Thomas born about 1802*
9. Candis born 1804
C. William Pendergrass, Jr, was born to William Sr and Martha “Patti” Unknown some time around 1750 and possibly in the area which became Orange County, North Carolina, though he could as easily have been born elsewhere and been brought there as a child. Little is known of his early life except what is found in pension applications of his relatives and neighbors. He himself did not apply, and though he did serve in the militia for a tour or two, he purchased or otherwise obtained his 260 acre grant in 1788.75 The confusion about a non-existent second William Jr over in Bute/Franklin Counties in other works arose from an assumption that because Thomas, apparent sole heir of an unplaced Orange County “3rd” William, married in Wake County (to Nancy Copes) that Thomas “must have been” the son of “Wake” John76. The theory was that since Thomas endorsed the revolutionary land grant as heir of a William, then there must have been another revolutionary William over in Bute/Wake who had a son Thomas who went to Kentucky. Such is not the case.
In colonial Orange County, there were three distinct Williams: father William Sr (born no later than 1730) and son William Jr, (married with children by 1776), so identified in the 1809 deed of gift,77 and a William “Will” Pendergrass who served during the entire war, died before 1785 and whose bounty land grant was endorsed by his only named heir, Thomas78 ,who later married Miley Coulter of Orange County.
There was an entirely different, unrelated, William Pendergrass who was not one of these three, and who arrived in old Granville County with Spencer and at least one John in 1755, but they settled in the Fishing and Sandy Creek areas of what became Bute and later Franklin and Warren Counties some 60 miles from Chapel Hill. It was only in 1789 that “Wake” John from that group moved to Wake County79 and there was no early Thomas in records near him in either location. “Wake” John’s land was in the very northeastern corner of Wake County adjoining the Franklin County line - as far from Orange County as it was possible to be within Wake County. At no time was there more than one William mentioned in old Granville/Bute records in those years, nor did that William appear in any Wake County record, take part in the revolution, obtain a land grant or survive to make a pension application. (This is a good example of how not following county formations and not being familiar with the local geography can lead to far reaching mistakes.) Granville/Bute/Franklin County William was in no way related to Williams in Orange.
Much of what is known about Orange County William Jr’s earlier life is from much later affidavits about revolutionary service given by his daughter Sarah “Sally” who married William Oldham and those of her siblings John and Nancy. In an 1853 affidavit80 for her neighbors, Jesse Rigsby and wife Elizabeth Pickett, Sarah gave her age as 80, so born in 1773, but in a similar affidavit given in 1755 for Charles and Elizabeth King,81 she gave her age as 90, born in 1765, which seems unlikely since census records give her birth year as about 1772. At any rate, William Jr was married by about 1770 and Sarah stated that her grandfather was Matthew Sparrow, making her mother a Sparrow whose first name remains undiscovered. She went on to say in her 1853 affidavit that she had not personally attended the wedding of Jesse Rigsby but that her brother John and sister Nancy had been “waiters upon the bride and groom.” In her 1755 affidavit, she recalled her father William Pendergrass [Jr], “also a soldier in said war, talking with Charles King about the hardships and sufferings they endured when in the camps together. They served as much as two or three [militia] tours together.”
There is also an 1846 pension application and affidavit of a Thomas Pritchard, filed from Sullivan County, Tennessee, which stated: “I first served a three months tour as a substitute in the place of William Pendergrass a private for a three months tour against the Tories [in Orange County]. I then volunteered for a three months tour and lastly I was drafted in Chatham County and served a three months tour.”82
In the 1810 Orange County census, William Jr’s household contained himself, aged over 45, a white female over 45, a white male 16-26, a white female 10-16 and 2 slaves of unspecified age or gender.
On 22 August 1818, Orange County William signed, with the mark of a light, crude “W” an affidavit83 saying that he was living six miles from his brother John (who was by then in Chatham County, which had split from Orange) and that they both were living in Orange County when John signed up as a revolutionary soldier in 1776. He went on to say that his brother John had returned home from Halifax on furlough with a sick brother, but returned to duty shortly thereafter, and that he had received letters from him written from Pennsylvania and New Jersey. His having been home to receive the letters further establishes that this William was not the Will Pendergrass who served the entire 84 months of the war in the continental line, but rather, as his daughter Sarah said, served a tour or two in the local militia.
Contrary to assertions elsewhere that they were both dead by then, William Sr conveyed land to William Jr, both of Orange County, via a deed written: January 25, 1809 and recorded in February 1812.84 [Orange County, Deeds, Book 14, Page 56] William Pendergrass Sr to William Pendergrass Jr :This Indenture made this twenty fifth day of January in the year of our Lord One thousand Eight hundred & Nine between William Pendergrass Senr of the County of Orange & State of North Carolina of the one part & William Pendergrass Junr of the same County & State of the other part Witnesseth that the said William Pendergrass Sr hath given and granted & released a certain tract or parcel of Land lying and being in the County aforesaid on the waters of Obed’s Creek Begining at a White Oak [?] & Masseys corner thence runing East to a stake in Merretts line thence along the said line North to a rock Masseys corner Thence runing west with the said line to a Post Oak corner thence South to the first Station Containing Eighty acres be the same more or less to have and to hold the above mentioned Land to the said William Pendergrass Junr & the said William Pendergrass Senr doth for myself my heirs Executors or assigns warrant & defend the above mentioned Land & premises to the said William Pendergrass Junr his heirs & assigns forever clear of all claims or incumbrances whatsoever [etc] as Witness whereof I the said William Pendergrass Senr hath set my hand and affixed my Seal the day & date above written William Pendergrass (SL) Signed Sealed & delivered ) Orange County February Term 1812 Witness ) The Execution of the foregoing Deed was duly proved in open Court by the Oath of John Pendergrass Junr and Isham Vincent ) Ordered to be registered Test J. Taylor CC Delivd to Wm Pendergrass [Jr]
As there was no mention of consideration for the transfer, this appears to have been a deed of gift from father to son, William Jr having been approaching 60 years of age at the time of its execution, making William Sr born by at least 1730. (If he were the baby boy born in Northumberland in 1714, William Sr would have been 95 at the execution of this deed.)
D. David Pendergrass Sr [12-B]was born about 1751 according to his pension application85 (Orange County was just being formed at the time) and died intestate in Chester District of South Carolina by November 1804, when his estate was administered.86 He enlisted in the revolt against English rule from Orange County 20 April 1776 and served two and a half years under Captain Griffith, John McRee’s Company of the First North Carolina Battalion commanded by Colonel Thomas Clark. He left service in September 1778 and his widow Susannah “Susie” Unknown, aged 93 in 1846, stated that they were married November 1777, that he left her alone with children while he served, and that he died in November 1800 and she had not remarried.87 Their son David, Jr. made supplementary applications.88
Their 1777 marriage took place at “Hillsborough”, which is the district of Caswell and adjacent counties in which Susannah stated she was married, not her maiden name. In her 1830 widow’s application, Susannah swore they were married in Granville County, but the clerk there could not find any record of their bond. This wasn’t surprising considering that most marriage records from the area prior to about 1784 were destroyed in the War.89 David Sr was certified to have received payment as a soldier of the revolution and did appear on muster rolls, and the application mentioned that he was at the Battle of Guilford Courthouse in North Carolina 15 March 1781 so there is no doubt of his service. However, Susannah’s application was rejected,90 despite their numerous children and statements of witnesses, and despite her having been “an old lady of good repute whose veracity and character cannot be disputed”, due to lack of “formal” proof of the marriage. Governmental bureaucracy‘s leading to unjust results is nothing new.
The couple appeared in the 1790 Caswell County, North Carolina census, but no household information has survived for that year [possible reconstruction of heads of household from other records] By 1800, the couple had relocated from the Orange/Caswell area to Chester District, South Carolina, and the census taken there showed David born before 1755, Susannah born 1756-1774, a white female born 1774-84, a white male born 1785-90, one white female and three white males born 1790 to 1800.
David died intestate in Chester before 21 December 1804, when his estate was administered.91 Susannah carried on for several decades, appearing in censuses as a head of household over 45 in 1810 and 1820 with apparent children and grandchildren living in but not named or identified, and in 1820 was living next door to apparent son Hezekiah Pendergrass and his young family. She was not located as a head of household in 1830, but,along with nearby heads of household H Pendergrass and P Pendergrass, appeared David [Jr] who had in his household a white female aged 70-79. In Chester and Union Counties in 1840 census records, Hezekiah Pendergrass, Pleasant Pendergrass and David Pendergrass [Jr] appeared with their households, the latter containing a white female aged 80-89.
Susannah Unknown (Pendergrass) died a very old woman by 22 November 1847, as evidenced by an inventory submitted by her son David [Jr] in December as administrator.92 Her estate consisted of about sixteen dollars worth of goods and chattels - a bed and furniture [the soft mattress and bedclothes], 2 old trunks, 1 old chest, 10 bunches of cotton yarn, 1 old loom, 1 old table and pot, 1 old spinning wheel, 1 cow and yearling, plus one Negro man, Harry, appraised at $350 and by far the most valuable “asset” of the estate. The court ordered everything, such as it was, to be sold from David Jr’s home, with payment in cash for anything valued at less than two dollars and twelve months credit for anything selling for more. The fate of the unfortunate Harry was not recorded.
Since David and Susannah removed to Chester District, later Chester County, South Carolina, while the children were small, and since it is known from the pension application that they had at least ten children who grew up in that area, their offspring are less jumbled and a bit easier to identify than those of some of David’s brothers, but a few of their children still remain unproven.[see below]
E. Job Pendergrass [12-C]was born about 1753 and it is not known where, though three different locations were listed in one paragraph in another work about him.93 He and his older brothers enlisted in the Revolution from Orange County, and although there was no record evidence of their apparent father William Sr there until 1778, their close relative Robert was there by 1755. Job certainly could not have been born in Ireland if his older brothers and other relatives weren’t, and the likelihood of having been born at sea in landlocked North Carolina was not great. Virtually all early settlers into old Granville and Orange counties came overland down the trade route from Virginia via Petersburg and not inland from the coast.94
Although Robert Pendergrass, the first known Pendergrass into the area, arrived (or was first noticed by the tax collector) between 1752 and 175595 and no other was mentioned until 1777/8,96 the revolutionary brothers stated in their pension applications that they were living in Orange County when they and apparent brother “Chatham” John enlisted in 1776.97
The prevailing view, based on census records and ages, as well as a family Bible of Dr. William Allen Pendergraft, mentioned but not transcribed in the Allen Pendergraft book,98 is that Job was married twice. The first marriage is said to have been to a Nancy Edwards, and if the ages of his first two children are correct, must have taken place by about 1776. There is no known record of it, but, again, most marriage records of the area were destroyed in the revolution. In his pension application,99 Job states that his [second?] wife Mary was born in 1763, slightly too young to have been the mother of Job’s son Charnal/Cornell who was born about 1778.100 A year or two off on the birth date of either could change the picture completely, but this author concedes the possibility that Job did have a first wife, and even that, at a stretch, “Nancy” could have been a nickname for the “Anna” part of Susannah. However, there is nothing to indicate that her name was Susannah except the attempt by another author101 to make her the daughter of a particularly prominent local Edwards family, which she was not. That author quotes a genealogy of that Edwards family which shows the only two daughters named Susannah married to other people, and which does not mention a single Pendergrass in the entire volume.102
In any event, if there was in fact a first wife, she was deceased by the time Job married Mary, divorce not having been an easy option in the 1770s.
The idea put forward elsewhere103 that for political reasons Nancy Edwards took their children and left Job during the war for parts up north and that he obtained a divorce from her under “Enoch Arden” laws is entirely unsubstantiated. Although there were laws in some states permitting remarriage if a spouse were missing for five or seven years and declared legally dead by a court, such legal actions to avoid bigamy were extremely rare and there is no record of any such court declaration in Job’s case. The poem on which the name of such laws is based was not written until more than a hundred years later,104 and it should be noted that both sons from Job’s “first” marriage, if any, remained with him in North Carolina.
Job enlisted in the revolt against England from Orange County about 6 May 1776 for a full three year tour under Captain Roger Moore of the 10th North Carolina regiment.105 His pension application, filed from Burke County in 1821, stated that he was at the Battle of Stono and he believed also Beaufort. Unverified family legend106 states that he lost an earlobe to a musket ball at the Battle of King’s Mountain, but there is no record of his service there, nor any mention of it by him. Likewise, it has been written that he was nearly killed and was crippled for life,107 but Job didn’t mention that in his pension application.
Having survived the war, Job returned to Orange County, where in 1779 he petitioned for the formation of Montgomery County.108 He appeared as a head of household in the 1790 Orange County census, though no family information is available from that census. In 1797 he was bondsman for two marriages, one for Moses Atwater to marry Amy Wilson,109 and another for Abraham Piper to marry Rebecca Covey.110 [Note: contrary to popular belief, the bondsman was not required to post actual cash until and unless the wedding failed to take place due to some legal impediment, so standing as bondsman was more a matter of faith in the parties than of financial ability.]
On 20 August 1798, Job and his apparent brother [“Chatham”] John witnessed the will of Abijah Massey, the first husband of their sister Jemimah Pendergrass.111 The will mentioned Abijah’s “beloved wife Jemimah” and“honored father-in-law William Pendergrass”, thus establishing paternity of three of the siblings with reasonable certainty. John signed in full and Job made his mark. [see below]
In the 1800 Orange County census, Job was listed as a white male head of household over 45 with a white female 26-44 (Mary). a white male 16-25, two white males 10-15, and two boys and a girl under 10. In February 1802, Job stood as bondsman once again, this time for the marriage of Goodwin Watson to Holly Rigsby.112 In 1803, Job received a land grant of 150 acres in Montgomery County, North Carolina.113
In the 1810 Orange County census, Job and Mary were both listed as over 45, and in their household were 2 white males aged 16-25, two males and two females under the age of 10. In this census and on no other surviving record, the census taker evidently heard “Joe” instead of “Job” and wrote Joseph. Since there are numerous public records extant for Job/Jobe/Joab and in none of them was there any other first name, and since middle names for British Isles men were extremely rare until about 1800, this was plainly a one-time clerical error and not Job’s first or middle name. He was never “Joseph” Job.
On the subject of names, the fact that Job stood as bondsman for marriages of people surnamed Atwater, Wilson, Piper, Covey, Watson, and Rigsby does not mean that any of those surnames was his mother’s maiden name. “Job”, however it was spelled by clerks and census takers before spelling was standardized, was a Biblical first name and likewise was not his mother’s maiden name, even if someone added an “e” to make the “o” a long vowel instead of a short one, which made perfect sense phonetically. Job himself was illiterate, as were many people in North Carolina at the time, and did not know how his name, first or last, was spelled. It was only in the later generations that some of his literate descendants, apparently mistaking the old double looped “Ss” for “ft” in old documents, began standardizing the spelling of the name in this branch of the family as “Pendergraft”, as good a variation of “Prenhirlegast” as any.
In 1820, Job’s identity was clear, as he and sons Jesse and Moses were all listed in the census in Burke County, with Jesse and Moses next door to each other with their young families. Job’s household consisted of himself and wife (Mary), both over 45, two white males 16-25, (one of them 16-18) and a white female aged 10-15 - a total of five persons.
Other researchers have confused Job’s sons Jesse and Moses with “Wake” John’s sons Jesse and Moses, although they were of different ages and married different wives.114 The basis of this error was that while Job’s sons appeared in the Burke County census in 1820, the Wake County census, which would have listed “Wake” John’s sons with the similar common first names, is missing for that year. However, “Wake” John’s sons were on tax lists and other records in Wake and contiguous counties continuously through those years. Neither Jesse/Moses duo hopped back and forth between Wake and Burke Counties, but were in fact different men born of different parents in different places with different YDNA profiles.
At the time of his pension application115 in 1821, filed from Burke County where he then resided, Job stated that he was “a common farm laborer but physically incapable of work due to age and infirmity”, that he possessed nothing but 15 chickens, big and little, that his wife Mary was nearly 57 years of age, that his son Henry was 20 and healthy but his daughter Mary, 15, was subject to “fitts”. He made no mention of any war wound or of the battle of King’s Mountain. (He does not appear on that roster.)
Job has not been located in the 1830 census and his pension record reflects his date of death as 15 April 1831. No one applied for a widow’s pension.
Job’s place of burial is frequently posted as having been in various cemeteries in Orange County, North Carolina, where it is very unlikely his remains would have been returned, and most recently said to be in the Ebenezer Cemetery in Old Fort, McDowell County,116 This is at least more logical, as McDowell County was split off from Burke County where Job was residing at the time of his death. Although the cemetery is not well kept up, there are reportedly four real Pendergrass headstones there from the 1850s and later; but no Pendergrafts.117 No headstone or other record of Job’s burial there has been located, and many people, including Job’s parents and putative grandparents, listed online as buried there, were not.
Numerous women have joined the Daughters of the American Revolution by submitting applications showing lineage back to Job, who is deservedly registered as a Patriot by that organization.118 His service was real, but the early applications of women desperately seeking the status of being a DAR member should be viewed with some suspicion, since the standards of proof for admission were much less strict in the past than they are today. Further, although family Bibles of Job descendants are mentioned in other works,119 there are no Pendergraft family Bible pages under any spelling variation in the DAR supporting document files, which have been carefully preserved, (Unfortunately, while applications for membership in the Sons of the American Revolution still exist and have been digitized, all supporting documents were somehow, inexcusably, lost in the move of its headquarters to Louisville, Kentucky in 2014.)
On the introductory page [i]of his 1977 book, Allen Pendergraft thanks “Our cousin Ileene Pendergraft Burke of Oklahoma City for the Bible record of her grandfather Dr. William Allen Pendergraft which lists the children of Jobe Pendergrass as Charnal, Jesse, John, Titus, Moses, Henry, Christian and Mary”110 Neither this Bible record nor any transcription of it has ever been located by researchers despite diligent searches and it is unknown when or from what source this Bible record was created. However, because Charnal, Moses and Jesse relocated to Burke County with Job, and because Henry, Christian and Mary were mentioned by him in his pension application as his children, this author accepts this Bible record as basically accurate, including sons Titus and John.
Further, since the elusive Bible listed some John as son of Job and Mary,and since it is known that there was a John Eli Pendergrass[I] born in the area about 1800/03, who would slot neatly between Job’s other children, Thomas and Christiann, and since the other known contemporary Orange County Johns have provable paternity to other men in the family, (John Jr, son of “Chatham” John; John son of Wm Jr who married Rebecca Fann; and John, apparent son of David Sr) this author tentatively and speculatively places John Eli [I] as Job’s missing son John. There are, of course, many other possibilities.
F. Jemimah Pendergrass, birth estimated as about 1760 in Orange County, based on the births of her brothers, first bonded to marry Abijah Massey there on 13 October 1787.111 David Ray was bondsman and S. Benton, witness. As this is somewhat late for a first marriage, and there is no record of it, her birth date could have been at any time from her parents’ marriage through about 1770. After the death of her first husband in 1798, she married Tillmon Perry in 1800.112 Her first marriage and parentage is borne out in the following will of her first husband,113 faithfully transcribed in January 2015, by Mary Fern Souder, a “Job” descendant and veteran genealogical researcher.
Will of Abijah Massey, 20 August 1798, Orange County, NC
In the Name of God Amen. I Abijah Macey of Orange County in the State of North Carolina being sickly and weak in Body but of perfect mind and memory, for which God be thanked, and knowing that it is appointed unto all men once to die Do make publish and declare this to be my last will and Testament in manner as follows/ Vis./

In Witness whereof I do hereunto Set my hand and Seal.
Signed sealed Published Abijah (his + mark) Macey
And declared in presence Of Mathew McCauley jurat
Jobe (his + mark) Pendergrass
John Pendergrass, jurat
Exrs qualified
[Note: On page 4 of his 1977 book,114 Allen Pendergraft identifies Abner as Abjiah’s son by a (fictional) former marriage, when the will clearly states that Abner is Abijah’s brother, not son.]
G. William Pendergrass [unplaced] Definitely part of the Orange County Pendergrass family but with his paternity as yet unknown, is an unplaced “third” Will(iam) Pendergrass about whom very little else is known but who must have been born no later than about 1740/45 to have had a son born 1760/65 (if he did.) He served as a private in the Continental Line from North Carolina for the entire 84 months of the American revolution and died unmarried before 17 December 1785.115 He was neither William Sr nor William Jr and was not on muster rolls with Job, David, or “Chatham” John, but was associated with a Capt Scurlock of the Orange County Scurlocks. William’s sole heir received his land grant #3180 for 640 acres on 17 December 1785, and sold it in 1797, the grant endorsed on the back by William’s apparent only surviving adult child, Thomas Pendergrass. It is also possible, of course, that Thomas was William’s only brother or other relative, in which case William could have been born as late as about 1750. This William did not live long enough to apply for a pension, so that source of information was lost.
It is possible but by no means proven, that if Orange County Robert and William Sr were brothers rather than father and son, this William and the younger unplaced Robert could have been Robert’s sons.
In other works,116 this William was called William “Jr” and was misplaced as a son of the unrelated Sandy Creek William who was a close relative of “Wake” John, (only because his heir Thomas married in Wake County.) However, Thomas lived near the Orange County line and his second marriage (or common law marriage) was there. His second wife’s brother-in-law was Peter Pleasant Pendergrass, grandson of “Chatham” John.117 “Third” William’s apparent son Thomas was significantly older than Thomas, verified son of “Chatham’ John, and Luke’s verified son Thomas married someone else, but this Thomas was definitely part of the Orange County group. “Third” William’s descendants are listed at the end of Chapter 12.
H. Luke Prendergast [speculative] is discussed above and his descendants are listed below after those of Robert and William and unplaced “third” William. A Luke descendant’s YDNA was a general match to the Orange County group, but differed just enough to be kept separate pending further investigation.
Note: Because they were tightly packed into a small geographical area and determined to confound researchers by naming their large families after nearby living relatives, with a few exceptions for those mentioned in pension affidavits, marriage records or deeds, it is nearly impossible to verify precise parentage of Robert or William’s grandchildren even though proximity and DNA testing place them firmly within the same family. Those whose parentage cannot be determined with certainty have been placed tentatively, based on the best information currently available, on discussions with other experienced researchers, and on this author’s own quite fallible intuition. For these discussions, the author is deeply indebted to Mary Fern Souder, whose insights have been invaluable, and to letters exchanged between several other researchers over several decades.
The sincere attempts of author Allen Pendergraft to sort this complicated family must also be recognized, even though this author has sharp disagreements with many of the conclusions formed by him and later embellished by others and posted in online family trees. In particular, nothing is documented about this family or its origins prior to 1752. Although there are bits and pieces of random facts in it, the unbroken “line back to Phillip” is entirely fictional and no matter how much we might wish there were, there is no relationship to Pocahontas. [see Chapter 3] Not everyone said elsewhere to be related to this family can be confirmed, and the reader is cautioned to do independent research to verify relationships without relying solely on published sources (even this one).
I. Descendants of Robert and/or William Pendergrass
1. ROBERT1 PENDERGRASS , birth date and place unknown, arrived or was first mentioned in Orange County, North Carolina between 1752 and 1755. It is assumed but not proven that he was married to an unidentified woman. [Note: In these pages of “begats”, Robert will be listed as Robert1, the progenitor of this family, but the reader is cautioned that he may or may not have been William’s father] [See discussion of their relationship, supra] Also, there is some indication of a possible son, Robert [Jr] born about 1736 and a possible son “third” William. born around 1740 (if the father of Thomas born 1760-65)
Robert Pendergrass and Unknown Wife had the following child, brother or other relative
__________Generation 2__________
1.1. WILLIAM2 PENDERGRASS, SR (Robert1?) was born before 1730, perhaps much before, and died after 1809. He married Martha “Patti” Unknown before 1750 and they had moved with their children to Orange County, North Carolina before 1778 when William obtained land, or earlier. Patti was listed as head of household in the 1820 Orange County census. Many records which might have given more information about his arrival and family were destroyed in the revolution. Known sons were in the area in time to enroll in the revolution by 1776 and later were assumed to have been born in Orange County at a time before it was actually formed because they enlisted in the revolution from there. However, although birth years were indicated in pension records, birth locations were not, and there were no Pendergrasses in predecesor counties.
William Pendergrass Sr and Martha “Patti” Unknown had the following probable children:
1.1.1. JOHN “CHATHAM JOHN”3 PENDERGRASS SR was born somewhere on 2 August 1749 (from his revolutionary pension application), and died on 4 June 1830 (per his widow’s pension application). He married Mary “Molly” Rigsbee about 1776/7 in Orange County, North Carolina, (From revolutionary pension application, Mary was five months pregnant with first child James at their marriage in 1780, but this date is very unreliable.) It is impossible to say when she was born or married because of her own wildly conflicting testimony, but roughly between 1750 and 1760, in North Carolina.From a pension affidavit made for Susannah Bush, widow of Capt William Jones in 1847, Mary’s stated age in that year was 86, but it was different in every record. In the 1850 census she was listed as 100 years old, and died 20 August 1850 in Chatham County, North Carolina,(from final widow’s pension payout voucher)[see discussion, of marriage date, supra]
1.1.2. WILLIAM PENDERGRASS, JR, born about 1750, possibly in the area which later became Orange County, though he could as easily have been born elsewhere and come into the County as a child. At some point about 1770, he married a daughter of Matthew Sparrow whose first name [possibly the Rebecca who was head of household in 1810 Orange County?] is not known. Although no marriage record is extant, her identity is confirmed in an affidavit by their daughter Sarah, who swore that her father was the William Pendergrass [Jr] who had done a tour or two against the Tories and that her grandfather was Matthew Sparrow. Sarah also named her brother John and sister Nancy in her affidavits supporting neighbor’s pension applications. William [Jr].paid Thomas Pritchard to serve in the war for him for a three month tour, but was also in the militia himself. He resided in Orange County, appearing on tax lists and receiving a deed of land from William Sr in 1809, until his death after 1818 when he signed a pension affidavit for his brother “Chatham” John. He’d have been about 68 in that year.
1.1.3. DAVID PENDERGRASS, SR was born in 1751, possibly in Orange County, North Carolina and died about 1804 in Chester County, South Carolina. He married Susan/Susannah Unknown (not Hillsborough) in November 1777 in Hillsborough District, old Granville County, and they first lived in Orange, then Caswell, County, North Carolina. She was born about 1753 in Caswell or Orange County. Susan, widow of David Sr, stated in her pension application that she was 93 years old in 1846, the date of her application, and died 22 November 1847 in Chester County. David’s 1777 marriage in North Carolina is a good indication that he and his parents were in Orange County before that date, at least in time for him to court a bride.
1.1.4. JOB PENDERGRASS, born about 1753 (from his revolutionary pension application), died 15 April 1831 in North Carolina (from last pension payment.) He married (1) Nancy Edwards [from unverified Bible record] and (2) Mary Unknown. Mary [Reel/Riehl?] was born about 1763 in North Carolina (Birth year from pension application of Job stating that she was not quite 57 in 1820.) It is not known where Job was born, but not at sea or in Ireland, unless the family was fresh off a boat to Virginia and came down overland. His older brothers have been assumed to have been born in Orange County, North Carolina because all the brothers enlisted from there, which makes his birth anywhere else unlikely.
1.1.5. JEMIMAH PENDERGRASS, born about 1760 or later, possibly in Orange County, (based on birth years of siblings. If correct, she married late). She married (1) Abijah Massey, son of Abraham Massey, on 13 October 1787 in Orange County, (David Ray, bondsman, S Benton, witness.) Abijah died in August 1798 in Orange County, between writing his will on 20 August 1798 and court term in August that year. Jemima married (2) Tilmon Perry on 21 November 1800 in Orange County.It has been published elsewhere on no authority that her second husband was John Sparrow, but this is incorrect.
1.1.6. THOMAS PENDERGRASS [highly speculatiive] ( see discussion below at Addendum I (“Third” William,)
__________Generation 3__________
1.1.1. JOHN “CHATHAM JOHN”3 PENDERGRASS SR (William2Sr, Robert1) was born on 2 August 1749 (from his revolutionary pension application), and died on 4 June 1830 (per widow’s pension application). He married Mary “Molly” Rigsbee about 1777 in Orange County, North Carolina. [see above]
“Chatham John” Pendergrass Sr and Mary”Molly” Rigsbee had the following children:
1.1.1.1. JAMES4PENDERGRASS, was born about 1778 in Orange County, date approximate and not possible to verify. The last recollection of his mother in her widow’s application was 1781 but she didn’t know and this date doesn’t fit other facts. She stated that she was five months pregnant with James, her firstborn, at the time of her marriage.) No marriage or family has been located for James, (possibly deceased by the time of Mary’s and Edward’s affidavits ?)
1.1.1.2. BARSHEBA PENDERGRASS was born about 1779/80 (in 1781 according to her father’s revolutionary pension application and September 1783 in Orange County, according to the revolutionary pension application of her mother, but listed as their second child. In 1850 she was still single, living with her apparent son Wesley Pendergrass and his family and gave her own birth year as 1780. Her parents’ marriage had to have occurred significantly before 1781 to allow for the birth of her older brother James. In the 1880 census, Barsheba’s known sister Candis was living in Wesley’s household and was designated as his aunt.
1.1.1.3. EDWARD PENDERGRASS [12-F]was born about 1780 in Orange or Chatham County, North Carolina (In his affidavit for Capt Francis Jones, Edward states he was 72 years of age in August 1851, so born about 1780. Mary stated that her firstborn was named James, not Edward and that Barsheba was born next after James.). He died in 1860 in Orange County, and married Mary “Polly” White there on 29 August 1806. (William Pendergrass, bondsman). According to three different census records Polly was born about 1795 in North Carolina, only 10 or 11 at her marriage, but in the 1870 census, living with daughter Jane and sister-in-law Candis, her birth year was given as 1776.
1.1.1.4. JOHN PENDERGRASS JR [12-E] born about 1783 in North Carolina, may or may not have married. On 1 March 1845, and again in 1852, he made affidavits in support of revolutionary benefits for adult children of Jesse Rigsby and Elizabeth Pickett, stating that he had known them since childhood, attended their wedding, and knew that Jesse Rigsby had been wounded in the war by the Tories. He signed for himself as JPendergrass and in 1849 stated that he was 70 years old, making him born in 1779. Since it is known for certain that he was the son of “Chatham” John, Sr, and younger than elder siblings James, Barsheba, and Edward, all proven children of Mary Rigsby, and since his mother Mary was living with him in 1850 (Chatham County census) it is clear that his parents’ marriage took place well before the 1781 date on which Mary finally settled after several attempts. In 1855, he appeared in court in Chatham County to sign an affidavit supporting the application for revolutionary benefits for adult children of Bias Rogers and often witnessed deeds and wills for the family. No marriage bond, census or other record indicating a wife for him has been located, and although he has been credited with children in other works, they cannot be verified, and some are easily placed as children of other parents. He has been said in other works to have had children, (A)Robert of Feliciana Parish, Louisiana b 1791 when John Jr would have been 8 years old, (B) a John born 1784 when John Jr was 1 year old, (C) an unnamed daughter born 1797 who “married” Coley Dollar, (D) son Manley P Pendergrass born about 1800, (E) Anthony born 1807[?] and (F)William Pleasant born 1811.
A. No such Robert born 1791 has been located in any North Carolina record, nor could he have been the son of John Jr born 1779-83.
B. Although there were several John Pendergrasses born sometime around 1784, John Jr, born 1779-83 could not have fathered one.
C. This unnamed daughter is a fictional person created only because in 1850, John Jr’s household contained his sister Candis Pendergrass, mother Mary/Molly [Rigsby], and a hired hand named Coley Dollar, aged 21. There was no female in the household married to Coley Dollar, nor any record of such a marriage. This error is based solely on an unfortunate tendency in other works to create a hypothetical marriage for anyone who had even the slightest interaction with any Pendergrass family.
D. Manley P Pendergrass has been placed as a son of “Chatham” John Jr in other works, based exclusively on proximity. Of all the children assigned to him elsewhere, this Manley P seems the likeliest to have been his actual son, though there is nothing in records to link them. This Manley P married Martha W Pearsey and died in 1846. Another Manley P, also born about 1801 in the same area, was the apparent son of John Jr’s first cousin John who married Rebecca Fann and the two are easily confused, but they were not the same person. The other Manley P married Mary Tidwell in Tennessee in 1847 and had two sons with her before dying in 1849. [see below]
E. No trace of anyone named Anthony Pendergrass has been found in North Carolina in that time frame and of the children elsewhere attributed to him, Levi was the apparent youngest son of Edward and Polly[Sr], and Cornelia, Mary, William and Charles Haywood were actually all children of John Jr’s nieces, Polly C, and Jane, living with Edward Pendergrass and his wife Mary “Polly” White in the 1850 census and some of them with their eldest sister, aunt, or mother Polly C Pendergrass in 1860.The author who created him gave no source for Anthony’s existence. However, the marriage record of Jane’s apparent son Charles Haywood Pendergrass lists his still living parents as Jane Pendergrass and Anthony Pelletier) [Credit to Mary Fern Souder for this enlightening find] In 1880, a Tony Pendergrass born 1876 was living in the home of Jane and her nieces, listed as her nephew, which may have contributed to the error. It is not known how many other Pendergrass children in that family, if any, were fathered by Anthony Pelletier (who legally married a Lucinda King on 2 December 1845.)
F. No trace in any North Carolina record has been found of a William Pleasant Pendergrass born 1811 and a son of John Jr, though there were other William Pendergrasses born in the area. There was a William Pleasant Pendergrass, son of Joel W Pendergrass of the completely unrelated Spencer Pendergrass line who later lived in Tennessee and may have been the cause of the confusion, since Manley P, son of John Jr’s cousin John (apparent son of William Jr) also moved to Tennessee.
1.1.1.5. THOMAS PENDERGRASS was born about 1785 (possibly as late as 1800) in North Carolina. He married Nancy [Pickett?], who was born about 1804 in North Carolina and they appeared in the 1840, 1850 and 1860 census records with their family in the Chapel Hill area.
1.1.1.6. JEMIMA PENDERGRASS was born 1797 in Chatham County, mentioned in her father’s pension application as deafmute, little else of record has been found about her. Either she or her sister Bathsheba gave birth out of wedlock to “Tilda”, born 1818 and mentioned as a granddaughter of “Chatham” John, living with his family when he applied for his pension. [Ma]tilda has not been located in other records.
1.1.1.7. AUGUSTINE BEN “GUS” PENDERGRASS [tentative] was born about 1798 somewhere in North Carolina and married Isabella “Polly” Clementine Smith on 4 November 1855 in Coffee County, Much younger than he by 24 years, Polly was born about 1822 in Tennessee. Since age 57 is unusually late for Gus’s first marriage, it is possible that he was married previously - unverified stories say to a Native American - but if so, his children were not with him when he married Polly. Also, in the 1850 Cannon County, Tennessee, census, unmarried Polly and her first five children were all listed as Smiths, living next door to an Elizabeth Smith who had other children about Polly’s age. Gus was not listed nearby, but in the 1860 census, all the children were listed as Pendergrasses and the death certificate of at least one of the children born to Polly before the marriage listed Gus as her father. Whatever the explanation, the family was together and all listed as Pendergrass in the 1860 and 1870 censuses but Gus was missing in 1880. It is apparently the difference in age between Gus and Polly which caused the creation of an extra, older, Gus in other works, but according to census records, they really were born decades apart. Gus is mentioned here because other researchers have so placed him and because in 1830 he was listed in the census near Thomas and “Polly” in Pittsboro, Chatham County. It has also been suggested that he was the son of Thomas rather than of his brother, but depending on which of Thomas’ birth years is accepted, Thomas might not have been quite old enough to have fathered him.
1.1.1.8. CANDIS PENDERGRASS, born about 1800 in Orange or Chatham County, appears never to have married. In 1850 she was living with her brother John Jr and her mother Mary, and in 1870 among Pendergrasses and Rigsbys in the household of two older Pendergrass women, her sister-in-law Polly widow of her brother Edward, and their daughter Jane. In 1880 she was living with her nephew Wesley and his wife.
1.1.2. WILLIAM3PENDERGRASS JR (William Sr2,Robert1?) was born about 1750 and married an Unknown Sparrow, daughter of Matthew, sometime in the early 1770s in Orange County, North Carolina.
William Pendergrass and Unknown Sparrow had at least the following children:
1.1.2.1. .SARAH “SALLY”4 PENDERGRASS, born about 1773, according to the 1850 census, on 4 March 1797 in Orange County with Abijah Massey as bondsman, married William Oldham, son of Anne Rice. William was born about 1770 in Chatham County and died about 1844. On 2 February 1853 Sarah made an affidavit in support of revolutionary benefits for the adult children of Jesse Rigsby and Elizabeth Pickett and her age was first given as 70, then overwritten as eighty. She stated that she did not attend the wedding of Jesse and Elizabeth but heard her brother John Pendergrass and sister Nancy Pendergrass (Rigsby) discuss attending it and “waiting upon” the couple. She recalled her father William sharing his memories of Jesse having been wounded in the Revolution..
On 15 August, Sarah gave another affidavit in support of the revolutionary claims of neighbors Charles and Elizabeth King, in which she stated that she was 90 years old (very unlikely in view of other records and her testimony two years earlier) and that as a girl she was at the house of her grandfather Matthew Sparrow near the Chatham County line in Orange County on the main road from Hillsboro to Fayetteville, then called Cross Creek, when she saw Charles King march south with Allen’s company. She said that she often heard her father, William Pendergrass, also a soldier in the said war, talking with Charles King about the hardships and sufferings they endured together in the camps, and that they served as much as two or three [militia] tours together. Sarah died about 1858 in North Carolina.
1.1.2.2. JOHN PENDERGRASS, born about 1780 in North Carolina, on 3 January 1800 in Orange County, married Rebecca Fann, daughter of John Fann and Elizabeth “Betty” Dickerson. Rebecca was born about 1784, died about 1855 after they moved to Dickson County,Tennessee, where they lived near John’s brother William E and his wife Tabitha Fann.
1.1.2.3. ELIZABETH PENDERGRASS [fictional] was said in other works and online trees to have been born about 1781 and to have married, first, William Pickett, and then Jesse Rigsby. The first “marriage” was evidently created by another author only because William Pendergrass Sr and wife Martha “Patti” Unknown sold land to William Pickett in 1796, but there was no Pickett wife named in that deed. In 1845 and 1849 John Pendergrass Jr, son of “Chatham” John made affidavits for the revolutionary service of Jesse Risgby [shot through the torso by the Tories in 1781] and Nancy Pickett his wife/widow in which he stated that he had grown up near and knew well both families and had attended their wedding in 1799. It is clear from the wording that Nancy was a Pickett from birth and was not a widow of William Pickett. In fact, some Mrs William Pickett, per the Raleigh Register, died 11 May 1811 in Orange County, but Elizabeth Pickett (Rigsby) didn’t die until 19 April 1850.
1.1.2.4. NANCY PENDERGRASS, born about 1782 in Orange or Chatham County, died in 1860, per that year’s mortality schedule. On 4 March 1800, she married Isaiah Rigsby with her brother John as bondsman. In 1850 she was living in the lower regiment of Chatham County with her husband Isaiah, born about 1778 (son of Elizabeth), and their adult daughter Sarah and her son Lucian. In 1852, Nancy executed an affidavit for the revolutionary benefits of the surviving adult children of Jesse Rigsby and his widow Elizabeth Pickett, stating that she and her brother John had been in attendance at their wedding in 1799 and that her father shared his memories of Jesse having been wounded in the war. She stated that her eldest son was born in 1800 and that therefore the wedding of Jesse and Elizabeth had been a few years before. Isaiah died about 1860.
1.1.2.5. WILLIAM ENSLEY PENDERGRASS SR, born in North Carolina about 1785, died 28 April 1845 in Dickson County, Tennessee.. On 28 September 1805, he married Tabitha Fann, born about 1788, daughter of John Fann and Elizabeth “Betty” Dickerson in Orange County. Tabitha died about 1860 in Dickson County. In 1834, Tabitha sold her portion of her father’s estate in Grainger County, North Carolina for $800 and in 1837 William and she (in his name) obtained land on Turnbull Creek adjacent to John Pendergrass (apparent brother of William who married apparent sister of Tabitha).
1.1.2.6. MARTHA “PATSY” PENDERGRASS, born about 1787 in North Carolina, on 24 February 1807 in Orange County, married Jesse Crows/Crouse/Cross, born about 1877.
1.1.2.7. MATTHEW PENDERGRASS [real, but placement speculative] was born about 1793 in North Carolina. He married Naomi Bradford on 9 February 1817 in Randolph County, North Carolina and this was the first known mention of him, with no evident connection to anyone in Orange County other than his last name and the proximity of the two counties. Naomi was also born about 1793 in North Carolina and was listed as the same age as her husband in all census records Only in the 1840 Bledsoe County, Tennessee census was there an unidentified, apparently single or widowed older male born 1771-1780 in the household, not really old enough to have been a hypothetical Matthew “Sr”. who fathered the real Matthew born 1793. The head of household was not necessarily the oldest person in the home and this man could have been an older brother, hired hand, in-law, or anyone else. Matthew has elsewhere been placed as a son of “Chatham” John (William Jr’s brother), along with an incorrect birth year of 1770, thus creating the extra Matthew “Sr” [see discussion, supra] but in reality there is nothing except the name and proximity to connect Matthew with any of the known Orange/Chatham County men who might have fathered him and whose YDNA his descendants share. Matthew is tentatively placed here for three reasons, none of them very compelling: he was not mentioned in Edward’s petition as one of Edward’s younger siblings, he didn’t go to South Carolina with David, and because William Jr’s father-in-law was named Matthew Sparrow. YDNA testing of a Matthew descendant through Matthew’s son John Eli [II] does show that he was part of the close-knit Orange County family, but born about 1793, he really could as easily have been a son of “Chatham” John or any of the other Pendergrass men there at the right time and age.
Matthew and Naomi and their children arrived in Tennessee between 1821 and 1828 but did not appear in the 1830 census there. In 1840 Bledsoe County, their household consisted of themselves with their consistent ages, a white male of the right age to have been the John Eli [II] born there in 1729, seven young white females and one older white male, born, not in 1770, but between 1771-1780, barely old enough to have been Matthew’s father if born in 1771 and definitely not old enough if born in 1780. It is clear that the 1771 date was chosen by another author in order to make this random older man, who could have been anyone - not only the head of Matthew’s household, but also to create a fictional “Matthew Sr” of whom there is no record anywhere. Online trees have recently assigned him a fictional wife, Milly Green, apparently created as the result of a misapplied Ancestry hint from a marriage record for someone else in a different state. The only provable Matthew is the one born about 1793 who married Naomi Bradford, also born about 1793.
As additional proof that there was only one Matthew, born about 1793, the Matthew listed as head of household in the 1840. 1850, 1860, and 1870 Bledsoe County census records and the 1861 Bledsoe County tax list, lived near and among Swaffords and Hales. Only in the 1840 census record is there an extra white male between 9 and 20 years older than he, and that person is gone by 1850, leaving head of household Matthew still in place among the same neighbors.
Some time between 1838 and1850, this family was joined in Bledsoe County by John Eli Pendergrass [I] born 1800/03 (and his wife Elizabeth Unknown and their children), after whom Matthew and Naomi evidently named the John Eli Pendergrass [II] born 1829 who was killed in the civil war and named his first two children Naomi and Matthew. The family relationship between Matthew and the John Eli born 1803 is not established, but an Abijah Pendergrass, born 1793 in North Carolina, living with John Eli‘s family in 1860 hints at a connection to the Abijah Massey who married Jemimah, daughter of William Sr.
1.1.3. DAVID3 PENDERGRASS SR (William2Sr, Robert1),born in 1751 in Orange County, died about 1804 in Chester County, South Carolina. He married Susan/Susannah Unknown (not Hillsborough) in November 1777 in Hillsborough District, North Carolina. She was born about 1753 in Orange/Caswell County. (Susan, widow of David Sr, states in her pension application that she was 93 years old in 1846.). She died on or before 22 November 1847 in Chester County, South Carolina.
David Pendergrass Sr and Susan/Susannah had the following children:
1.1.3.1. WILLIAM4 PENDERGRASS, born about 1772 in North Carolina, died about 1811 in Chester County, South Carolina, married Dorothea “Dolley” Unknown, born about 1774 in South Carolina (1850 census says 1780, 1840 says 1771-1780, 1830 says 1771-1780, 1820 says 1776-1794, 1800 says 1756-1774, but to have four children under 10 in 1800 one hopes she was a little older than 20, so age 26 in 1800 makes her born no later than about 1774.)
1.1.3.2. ELIZABETH PENDERGRASS [tentative] was born 1776-1786 in Caswell County, North Carolina, died 1838 in Chester County, South Carolina.
1.1.3.3. MARY PENDERGRASS [tentative], born between 1776-1786 in Caswell County, died 1839 in Chester.
1.1.3.4. HEZEKIAH PENDERGRASS, born between 1780-1790 in Caswell County, or Chester County, died in 1840 in Union County, South Carolina, married Margaret Miles, born 1790 in Macon County, in North Carolina.
1.1.3.5. MARTHA “JANE” PENDERGRASS, born about 1781 in Caswell, died 23 December 1857 in Union County, South Carolina, married John Mitchell, born 6 February 1781 in North Carolina and died 16 June 1838 in Union County.
1.1.3.6. SUSANNAH PENDERGRASS [tentative] , born 1785 in Orange County, died in childhood in 1795 [?]
1.1.3.7. JOHN PENDERGRASS [tentative] was born about 1790 in North Carolina and died in 1860 in Randolph County, Alabama, He married Margaret “Peggy” Coleman [?], who was born about 1796 in South Carolina.
1.1.3.8. JOSEPH PENDERGRASS, born 1794 in Chester County, South Carolina, died there about 1835.
1.1.3.9. CELIA PENDERGRASS [tentative], born about 1798 in Caswell County, or Chester County, (From 1786 list with one male over 45 and 5 females, no ages given). She died in 1850 in Sevier, Tennessee after having married William Frances Naugher, who was born about 1780 in Ireland.
1.1.3.10. PLEASANT [WILLIAM?] PENDERGRASS, born about 1801 in North Carolina, died in 1841 in Chester County, South Carolina, married Margaret “Peggy” King, born 1802, died 1841. [Note: “Pleasant” was a common first name like “Charity” or “Temperance” and should not be taken as an indication of anyone’s surname]
1.1.3.11. DAVID PENDERGRASS JR, born 20 December 1802 in South Carolina, died 2 July 1880 in Broad River, Chester County, married (1) Mary[?]Ingram by 1835 in Chester County,born 18 February 1812 in Chester, died there 12 August 1847. He married (2) Salena Unknown in 1849 in Chester,County, born there 16 July 1826 and died there on 24 September 1857. He then married (3) Rebecca Kitchens there 19 June 1858, born there 22 August 1819, died there 5 May 1898. Due to conflicting records and overlap, it is almost impossible to determine exactly which children were born to which wife. Rebecca Kitchens was the widow of Preston Worthy, and she brought with her into the household a young free black woman named Mary Ann Worthy [“Pres’s Mae Ann”] as a servant and midwife. Mary Ann had a daughter with David’s son James H Pendergrass before James H was killed in the civil war fighting for the Confederacy.[the latter information courtesy of researcher Randy Thomason, their descendant, and then vreified from public records. c.f. infra]
1.1.4. JOB3 PENDERGRASS (William2Sr, Robert1), born about 1753 (from his revolutionary pension application).in an unspecified location, died 15 April 1831 in North Carolina (from last pension payment). He married (1) Nancy Edwards, [unverified] and (2) Mary Unknown [Reel/Riehl?], born about 1763 in North Carolina (Birth year from pension application of Job.)
Job Pendergrass and Nancy Edwards had the following children:
1.1.4.1. CHARNAL/CORNELL4 PENDERGRASS, born about 1778 in Orange County, North Carolina, lived in Burke County, for a while, and died 8 May 1868 in Des Moines, Boone County, Iowa. He married Rebecca Unknown in North Carolina, born there about 1788 and died in 1860 in Iowa City, Wright County, Iowa.
1.1.4.2. TITUS PENDERGRASS SR was born about 1777-1785 in North Carolina and married Sarah Stephens..
Job Pendergrass and Mary Unknown had the following children:
1.1.4.3. JESSE4 PENDERGRASS/GRAFT, born 22 July 1790 in Orange County, (Specific date of birth is strictly hearsay from an SAR application but census does indicate about 1790), died 16 April 1863 in Dardanelle, Arkansas, married Julia Ann “Eulie” Finger, daughter of John Finger Sr, in 1815 in Burke County, North Carolina. She was born on 9 February 1795 in Fairview, North Carolina (Father’s identity established in guardian bond appointed for her as a minor orphan, father deceased, but not necessarily mother, at the time). She died on 17 February 1885 in Dardanelle, Yell County, Arkansas at age 90. Her first name has been given elsewhere as Eulalia, based on the assumption that Euly was short for that name, but her parents were German, and would have pronounced Julia as “Yuley”. There is no known record giving her name as Eulalia.
1.1.4.4. MOSES PENDERGRAFT, born about 1793 in North Carolina, died 9 November 1860 in McDonald County, Missouri. In the 1860 mortality index, this Moses had died of palsy. He married Margaret Mashburn about 1813 in Orange County, (date extrapolated from birth years of children), born 27 December 1793 in North Carolina, died 16 November 1870.
1.1.4.5. THOMAS PENDERGRAFT [tentative], born 20 May 1798, was not listed as a child of Job in the elusive family Bible of Dr. William Allen Pendergraft, and his proximity in Burke County may mean something else. He died on 15 June 1865 in Barry County, Missouri, married (1) Margaret Ellis about 1825, born 1802 in Orange County, died 1833 in Coffee County, Tennessee, (2) Mary Ann Mashburn in 1836 in Coffee, born in 1812 North Carolina, died 17 June 1880 Missouri. 1.1.4.6. JOHN ELI PENDERGRASS [I] [real but speculatively placed], born about 1800/03, married Elizabeth Unknown, is placed here very speculatively because he was a real Pendergrass man from the Orange County, North Carolina area whose true parentage is unknown. In the often quoted but never seen family Bible of Dr William Allen Pendergraft, the children of Job were listed as Charnal, Titus, Jesse, Moses, John, Christian, Henry and Mary. Since Charnal/Cornell, Titus, Jesse and Moses have been verified by living near Job and since Christian, Henry and Mary were mentioned as his children in his pension application, this author gives credence to the existence of a son John. In other works, he has been said to have died by 1820 because he was not found in census records near Job that year, but if born around 1800 he was a grown man who could have been living anywhere.(there is no record of his death.) Of the presumed sons of William Sr, “Chatham” John had John Jr who stayed very visible in North Carolina records past 1855, William Jr had a son John who married Rebecca Fann and moved to Dickson County,Tennessee, David’s son John went with him to South Carolina and married Margaret Unknown. Thomas, if a son of William Sr at all, had no known son John and was gone to Kentucky before 1830, leaving the only unexplained John who disappeared as the possible son of Job. The reader is cautioned that there is nothing to prove this relationship except the process of elimination and that there may well have been other Pendergrass men in the area equally qualified for his paternity.
John Eli has long been assumed to have been the father of the John Eli Pendergrass born in 1827/9, but in the 1850 census that John Eli [II] stated that he was born in Tennessee and in his sworn civil war enlistment papers, that John Eli [II]stated specifically that he was born in Bledsoe County, Tennessee in 1829. The only Pendergrass family in Bledsoe County in 1729 was that of Matthew Pendergrass and his wife Naomi Bradford, who had settled there between 1821 and 1828. The John Eli born 1800/3 did not arrive there with his family until after 1838. Additionally, there was a white male in Matthew’s home in 1840 of the right age to have been the younger John Eli[II], who named his first two children Naomi and Matthew. Since the older John Eli did become the second Pendergrass man to settle his family in Bledsoe County, Tennesse, it is clear that there was some family relationship between him and Matthew and that Matthew and wife Naomi Bradford named a son for him.
John Eli Pendergrass[I] born about 1800/3 was still in North Caroina as late as 1838 according to the listed birthplaces of his children, and has not been located in 1840, but was in Bledsoe County, Tennessee with his family by 1850. In his household in the 1860 census was Abijah Pendergrass, single or widowed, born in North Carolina in 1793, whose exact relationship to the family is unknown, as well as one year old John W, apparently the son of either daughter Milly or of Caroline, both single.
Published elsewhere and online is a family legend that the father of the John Eli who was killed in the civil war (assumed erroneously to have been the John Eli b 1800/3) was beheaded (or hanged) for his sympathies although he himself was not a soldier. Happily, though, John Eli and Elizabeth, both born in North Carolina in 1800, were alive and well in the White County, Illinois census in 1870. (As were the real parents of the John Eli born 1829, Matthew and Naomi, listed in the 1870 Bledsoe County,Tennessee census) A compendium of narratives published elsewhere told the tale that the wife of John [Eli I?] became worried when he did not return home from work at the mill, went to check on him and found him hanging from a tree. Another version says, “John Eli Pendergrass Sr was murdered during the time of the Civil War. His death occurred circa 1863 in TN, possibly White County or Bledsoe County. He was not a soldier. He was killed by someone who opposed his son joining the Union Army” Some online versions give John Eli [I]’s death as that of John Eli [II]’s verified date of 9 January 1863, obviously confusing the older man with his namesake (not son.) John Eli [I] consistently listed his occupation a “farmer”, but interestingly, Matthew, real father of John Eli [II] who died as a Union soldier, was in fact a miller, If it was he who was hanged or beheaded, his name was given wrong in the narratives, and he was murdered after 1870, long after the war was over.
1.1.4.7. CHRISTIAN PENDERGRASS, born 14 February 1801 in Orange County, North Carolina (from location of parents at the time), died 17 January 1868 in Beaver, Carroll County, Arkansas, married Martin Van Buren Bever/Beaver Sr, who was born 4 May 1800 in Rutherford County, North Carolina and died 7 October 1839 in Beaver, Arkansas.
1.1.4.8. HENRY JAMES PENDERGRASS, born 23 August 1802 in Orange County, North Carolina, died 23 June 1874 in Barry County, Missouri. He married Mary O Bever/Beaver.
1.1.4.9. MARY PENDERGRASS was born about 1806 in North Carolina. According to her father’s pension application, she was subject to “Fitts”.There is no record of her marriage, if any.
__________Generation 4__________
1.1.1.2. BARSHEBA4PENDERGRASS(“Chatham John”3Sr, William2Sr, Robert1) born about 1781, in Orange County, North Carolina and was the probable mother of Wesley Pendergrass and possibly Tilda.
Bathsheba/Barsheba Pendergrass and an unknown partner had the following child:
1.1.1.2.1. WESLEY5 PENDERGRASS, born in 1812 in North Carolina, died there about 1887. He married Mary Marks, who was born about 1813 in Chatham County. Wesley was mentioned as a grandchild of “Chatham” John in his pension application, along with a granddaughter, Tilda. Besides John and his wife Mary [Rigsby], the household members mentioned were daughter Bathsheba 39 [b 1781], daughter Mima 23, [b 1797, deafmute], daughter Candice, 14,[b 1806], grandson Wesley, 8 [b 1812], and granddaughter Tilda age 2.[b 1818]. Wesley could have been the son of either of the older two daughters, but Bathsheba at 31 seems likelier than Jemimah at 15. Additionally, Barsheba was listed as living with Wesley and his family in the 1850 census, 70 years old and still with her maiden name, and in the 1880 census, Candice was listed as Wesley’s aunt. There is no record of Wesley’s paternity. In other works, he has been listed as son of James or Edward Pendergrass, both themselves sons of “Chatham” John and Mary [Rigsby], but James and Edward were not living with or near their sisters when “Chatham” John applied for his pension, so Wesley is placed here as a child of Bathsheba and an unknown father.
1.1.1.3. EDWARD4PENDERGRASS (“Chatham John”3Sr, William2Sr, Robert1) was born about 1778/80 in Orange or Chatham County, North Carolina (In his affidavit for Capt Francis Jones, as the son of John and Mary, Edward stated he was 72 years of age in August 1851, making him born in 1779/80, and Mary stated that her firstborn was named James, not Edward - more reason to believe that his parents’ marriage took place earlier than the date on which Mary eventually settled. [Note: In no known record was Edward ever called “James” Edward.]
Edward married Mary “Polly” White in Orange County on 29 August 1806 (William Pendergrass, bondsman). Online, her birthdate has been given without source as 27 November 1795, which would have made her ten years old at the time of her marriage, and in both the 1850 and 1860 censuses, someone gave her birth year as 1795, but in the 1870 Chapel Hill census, Polly was living with their daughter Jane and her husband’s sister Candice at stated age 94 [if born 1776, married at age 30, so likelier born about 1791?] and her occupation was listed as “helpless”. These age discrepancies are yet another example of how unclear the older generation of this family was about birth and marriage dates.
In 1860 Edward gave his age as 82 [born 1778] and said that he was blind. He died in 1860 in Orange County, North Carolina after having executed a written will in 1857 which read as follows:
“In the Name of God, Amen, I, Edward Pendergrass, of the County of Orange and state of North Carolina, having in view the great uncertainty of life do make this to be the last will and testament with regard to the Small worldly possessions I shall leave behind me. To my grandson George, son of my daughter Polly, in consideration of his kindness in attending upon me in my walks, I leave two acres of land to be laid off in a square form around the home which his mother has had built upon my land the house to be in the center of the square. All the rest of my property I leave to my daughter Jane. I do this because Jane has lived with me and labored hard to support me for many years. My other children will bear witness to this and will no doubt approve of this disposition of what I shall leave. There would be very little indeed to divide out among them all and I do not doubt but that as I am in a manner obliged to make a choice among them they will all justify me in making this small provision for their sister who has given so many of the best years of her life to the support of her aged and infirm parents. In testimony whereof, I have set my hand and seal this 10th day of September 1857.” 128
Edward marked with an X and witnesses J Pendergrass (by Brewer) and John Brewer signed two days before, on September 8th, 1857. No provision was made for Polly, Edward’s wife, who was still living as late as 1870, Edward apparently having trusted his children to care for her, and she could legally have had a widow’s share.[?]
Edward Pendergrass and Mary “Polly” White had the following children:
1.1.1.3.1. PETER “PLEASANT”5PENDERGRASS SR, born 1811 in Orange County, North Carolina (from headstone, verified by census records, some of which more or less agree.), died 19 July 1892 (from headstone), married (1) Frances “Fanny” Coulter, daughter of Henson Coulter and Tabitha Partin, born 1810-12 in North Carolina and was mentioned in her father’s 7 June 1831 will as Fanny Pendergrass. He married (2) Dicy Maynard (Upchurch) on 1 Nov 1871 in Wake County, North Carolina. She was born on 1 July 1827 in North Carolina and died on 24 November 1907 in Morrisville, Wake County. 1.1.1.3.2. POLLY C PENDERGRASS was born about 1814 in North Carolina. She appears not to have married but to have had several children who were too young to have been her siblings living with her in later census records, one of whom, George Pendergrass, was mentioned as her son in her father’s will..[see discussion below]
1.1.1.3.3. JAMES PENDERGRASS was born in 1818 in Orange County, North Carolina, and died there about 1877.(Probate administration date). He married Catherine “Kitty”/”Candie” Unknown, who was born in 1820.
1.1.1.3.4. FRANCES[?] JANE PENDERGRASS, born about 1825 in North Carolina, so far as is known did not marry. The marriage record of Charles Haywood Pendergrass indicates his parents were Jane Pendergrass and Anthony Pelletier. His death certificate said father unknown and mother Francis. [see discussion below]
1.1.1.3.5. LEVI PENDERGRASS, born about 1830 in North Carolina, married Nancy E Brockwell 9 December 1852 in Orange County. (Bondsman: John Creel, witness: J B McDade). She was born about 1835 in North Carolina. Levi is placed here as the last child of Edward and Polly, though it is equally possible that he was the first child of their daughter Polly C.
1.1.1.4. JOHN4PENDERGRASS JR (“Chatham John”3Sr, William2Sr, Robert1) was born about 1783 in Chatham County, North Carolina and it is not verified whether he married or had children [see above].

1,1,1,4,1, MANLEY P5PENDERGRASS, born 11 December 1800 in Chatham County, died there 16 October 1846. He married Martha W Pearsey in 1826, born about 1803 in North Carolina, died about 1880 in Henderson County, Tennessee. [Note: A portion of this Manley’s estate was administered in North Carolina. He was not the same Manley who was son of John Pendergrass and Rebecca Fann and who died in 1849 in Tennessee.)
1.1.1.5. THOMAS4PENDERGRASS (“Chatham John”3Sr, William2Sr, Robert1) was born about 1802 in North Carolina, and married Nancy [Pickett?], who was born about 1804 in North Carolina.

1.1.1.5.4. BETHIA PENDERGRASS was born about 1828 in North Carolina and married Jason Durham 7 October 1869 in Alamance. He was born 1811 in North Carolina and died before 1880.

1.1.1.5.6. JANE PENDERGRASS was born about 1832 in North Carolina.

1.1.1.6. JEMIMA4PENDERGRASS (“Chatham”John3Sr,William2Sr,Robert?1), born about 1797 in Chatham County, in her father’s pension record was listed as deafmute. The application also mentioned grandchildren Wesley (apparent son of Jemimah’s sister Barsheba) and Tilda, placed here as Jemimah’s daughter solely due to their respective ages.[see discussion below]
Jemima Pendergrass or her sister Barsheba apparently had the following daughter:
1.1.1.6.1. MATILDA5PENDERGRASS was born about 1818 in Chatham County, North Carolina and nothing else has been found about her.
1.1.1.7. AUGUSTINE “GUS”4BEN PENDERGRASS [tentative](“Chatham”John3,William2Sr,Robert1?), born about 1798 in North Carolina,, married Isabella “Polly” Clementine Smith 4 November 1855 in Coffee County, Tennessee, born about 1822 in Tennessee. The first six children appear to have been born before their marriage but they later used his name, lived in his household and at least one death certificate of a child born before the marriage [Martha] listed mother’s maiden name as Smith and father as Gus Pendergrass. Gus is placed here because he is too old to have been the son of the Matthew born 1793 but was associated with this family and his birth year fits neatly between those of “Chatham” John’s known children. Also, he was listed near Polly and Thomas in the 1830 Pittsboro, Chatham County, census, but his parentage is unverified.
Augustine Ben Pendergrass and Polly Clementine Smith had the following children:.
1.1.1.7.1 POLLY C5PENDERGRASS/SMITH, born 14 February in Tennessee, died in 14 September 1893 in Coffee.

1.1.1.7.5. MARTHA EVALINE PENDERGRASS, born March 1850 in Tennessee, died 27 February 1929 in Coffee County.

Martha married Steven R Tucker 15 January 1873 in Grundy, born in Tennessee 1853, died in Coffee County 6 November 1936.
1.1.1.7.6. SALLY PENDERGRASS, born about 1852 in Tennessee, married George Washington Hethcoatt, who was born 5 February 1852 in Tennessee and died 6 July 1920..

1.1.2.1. SARAH “SALLY”4PENDERGRASS, born about 1773 in North Carolina, though she also stated in 1855 in an affidavit that she was 90, so born about 1765. She died about 1858 after marrying William Oldham, son of Anne Rice, on 4 March 1797 in Orange County (bondsman Abijah Massey, Witness M Hart). William was born about 1770 in Chatham County and died there about 1844. Although they likely had more children, only one has been confirmed;

This Manley P is easily confused with the Manley P Pendergrass, born about 1801 who married Martha W Pearsey and whose estate was administered in 1846 in Chatham County. but this Tennessee Manley P’s estate was administered in 1849 after he married in 1847 and had two sons before his death.

[see above] Using the consistent birth year for Matthew of about 1793 he slots nicely into the children of William Junior, whose father-in-law was named Matthew, and almost equally well as “Chatham” John’s son, but other than proximity to the Orange/Chatham group, there is no evidence of his parentage. In the 1850 census Matthew’s occupation was listed as “miller”.

According to a family legend [only] his father was killed by someone who objected to his son’s having joined the Union Army, but both his real father Matthew, and the John Eli born 1803 previously assumed to have been his father, were alive in 1870. 1.1.2.7.4.

He married Dorothea “Dolley” Unknown, who was born about 1776 in South Carolina. Census records give her birth as 1780, and earlier, but to have had four children by 1800, one hopes she was born sooner. After William’s death, Dolly and some of the children relocated to Georgia, where she died in August 1850..
William Pendergrass and Dorothea “Dolley” had the following children:
1.1.3.1.1. ROBERT5PENDERGRASS SR [tentative], born 1791 in South Carolina, married Susannah [Anderson?] There is no verification of this Robert’s paternity, but he was born in South Carolina in the Chester County area, so he was part of this family, either as one of William’s elder children, or one of David’s younger ones.

1.1.1.3.2. POLLY C5PENDERGRASS (Edward4,“Chatham John”3Sr, William2Sr, Robert1?) was born about 1814/16 in Chapel Hill, Orange County. In her father Edward’s will, her son George was given two acres of land to be laid out in a square around the house she had built on Edward’s’ land. A great deal of mystery surrounds the parentage of the children living with her and her sisters, all of whom remained single and at one time or another lived together with several children, either in Edward’s home or Polly C’s house on his land. George was the only one specifically named as her son in her father’s will, because he had taken special care to accompany Edward on his walks.
In Edward’s home in 1850 were listed himself and younger wife Polly[Sr], Polly C born 1795, Jane born 1825, Levi born 1830, Cornelia born 1837, John Sims born 1840, Charles [Haywood] born 1843, Ann born 1845 and George W born 1849. Given their respective ages, it appears that Levi was the last child of Edward, and that all the younger children except Charles belonged to Polly C and an unknown partner. Charles’ marriage certificate gave his parents as Jane Pendergrass and Anthony Pellen [Pelletier].but he was living with Polly C in 1860 while Jane was living with and caring for her elderly parents. In 1860, Polly C’s household had Cornelia born1838, [John] Sims born 1841, Charles [Haywood] born 1845, Ann born 1847, George born 1850, Caroline born 1851 and Mary Jane born 1857. Living next door with Nancy Smith was four month old Della Pendergrass. In 1870, Polly C’s household consisted of herself, Cornelia born 1836, Ann born 1847, Caroline born 1850, Mary [Jane] born 1856, and three new children, Edward born 1863, Ariana born 1865 and Willie born 1869. Living with the neighboring free black family of Wesley Horton were Polly C’s son George and four year old Charles Pendergrass [not Charles Haywood Pendergrass].
By 1880, Polly C was missing and Jane had inherited her parents’ property. Living with her were Cornelia born 1840, Ann born 1845, Mary born 1850, Arene[Ariana] born 1862, Bill[Willie] born 1869, Add born 1875, Tony born 1876 and the younger Charles born 1867 living with the family again. All household members had the surname Pendergrass, all were single, and all were listed as nieces and nephews of Jane’s. It is impossible to determine which children belonged to which of the other two women except by age and probability, so they are arbitrarily placed here as Edward, Ariana, the Charles born 1866 [who was not Charles Haywood, Jane’s son with Anthony Pelletier] and Willie/Bill as children of Cornelia, and Add[ington], and Tony as children of Ann. There are, however, other possibilities(even that Cornelia and Ann were actually Jane’s younger sisters if Polly Sr was really as young as three census records indicated). There is a surprising lack of marriage or death records to assist identification. Therefore, the grandchildren (and great grandchildren?) of Edward are placed below as best they can be.
Polly C Pendergrass [Jr] and Unknown Partner had/may have had the following children:
1.1.1.3.2.1. CORNELIA6PENDERGRASS[probable] was born about 1838.

1.1.1.3.4.1. CHARLES HAYWOOD6PENDERGRASS, born April 1841 (headstone date, but census ranges from 1841-1846 and another record says May 1844) in Orange County, died in Chapel Hill 29 April 1932. He married Jemimah Amelia Brewer/Brown there on 23 April 1874. On the marriage certificate, Charles’ age was 26, son of Jane Pendergrass and Anthony Pellen[Pelletier], bondsman Nathaniel Pendergrass. The bride, Amelia Brewer, was daughter of John Brown and Patsy Brewer, born 30 June 1853, died July 1930 in Chapel Hill. On Charles’ death certificate, his mother’s name was given as Frances and father unknown. With bondsman Nathaniel, son of Frances Coulter, wife of Peter Pleasant Pendergrass, it seemed possible that he and Charles were brothers, but Peter Pleasant did not have a son Charles and the marriage record is more credible than the death certificate, leading to the conclusion that they were instead first cousins.
1.1.1.3.5. LEVI5PENDERGRASS (Edward4,“Chatham John”3Sr, William2Sr, Robert1?), born about 1830 in North Carolina, married Nancy E Brockwell, born 1835, on 9 December 1852 in Orange County.(bond date) (Bondsman: John Creel, witness: J B McDade).

J. POSSIBLE DESCENDANTS OF UNPLACED “3rd”WILLIAM PENDERGRASS
1. WILLIAM “WILL” PENDERGRASS [unplaced] Definitely part of the Orange County Pendergrass family but with his paternity as yet unknown, is an unplaced “third” William Pendergrass about whom very little else is known but who must have been born no later than about 1740/45 to have had a son born 1760/65 (if he did). He served as a private in the Continental Line from North Carolina for the entire 84 months of the American revolution and died before 17 December 1785. He was neither William Sr nor William Jr and was not on muster rolls with Job, David, or “Chatham” John, but was associated with a Capt Scurlock of the Orange County Scurlocks. William’s sole heir received his land grant #3180 for 640 acres on 17 December 1785, and sold it in 1797, the grant endorsed on the back by William’s apparent only surviving adult child, Thomas Pendergrass. It is also possible, of course, that Thomas was William’s only brother or other relative, in which case he could have been born as late as about 1750. This William did not live long enough to apply for a pension, so that source of information was lost.
If, and it is a very large “if” , Robert and William Sr were brothers rather than father and son. “Third” William might have been a son of the Robert who first appeared in 1752/55 [see above]
In other works, this William was called William “Jr” and was misplaced as a son of the unrelated Sandy Creek William who was a close relative of “Wake” John, (only because his heir Thomas married in Wake County.) However, Thomas lived near the Orange County line and his second marriage (or common law marriage) was there. “Third” William’s apparent son Thomas was significantly older than Thomas, verified son of “Chatham’ John, and Luke’s verified son Thomas married someone else. He has sometimes been place tentatively as a son of Wllam Sr, but whatever his parentage, the Thomas who endorsed “third” William’s lanf grant as his heir was definitely part of the Orange County group.
Thomas Pendergrass[unplaced] apparent son and sole heir of the unplaced/previously misplaced “Third” William Pendergrass was born about 1760-5 in North Carolina, birth extrapolated from later census records and first marriage in 1786 at about age 21/26, at a guess, to distinguish this Thomas from the others for research purposes. According to his descendants and an extant marriage bond, he married Nancy Cope on or shortly after 20 August 1786 in Wake County and lived near the Orange County line. [Thomas (X) Pendegrass bonded to marry Nancy Cope, Thomas (X) Humphries, bondsman, H. Lane, witness.] The eastern line of Orange County, where the Orange County family lived near Chapel Hill, was not far from the western line of Wake County, and one married by law in the county of the bride’s residence. This Thomas has been misplaced in other works as a son of “Wake” John because he married in Wake, even though “Wake” John didn’t move from Warren to Wake until 1789 and there were no Thomases in any records near him in either county. This Thomas was assigned road duty in Wake County in 1787, and was mentioned in the will of Henson Coulter as “husband” of his daughter Miley Coulter, Thomas’ [second or common law] wife. Fanny Coulter, another daughter of Henson, married Peter Pleasant Pendergrass, grandson of “Chatham” John, placing Thomas firmly in the Orange County group. This Thomas moved to Mercer County, Kentucky. and brought up a large family there near or in the Shaker Community.
Family tradition, according to a descendant’s letter, states that when Thomas fell in love with Milah Coulter, he abandoned Nancy Cope and his two children with her and that this was one of the reasons he moved to Kentucky with the Coulter family. In addition to children with these two women, Thomas had a verified out-of-wedlock son James, born 1796, with a woman whose surname was Albert/Abbott. James died unmarried in 1814 during his service in the War of 1812, leaving everything he had, including a military land grant, to his natural father Thomas Pendergrass, his mother having long since died.
A Pendergrass man who, according to traditional research, was a descendant of this Thomas was tested and did not match anyone else in the YDNA project database. His family tradition was that his ancestors had left the Shaker Community in order to marry and have a family, something which was forbidden by the Shaker religion, However, his YDNA matches and his haplogroup I-M253 are of Scandinavian origin, suggesting as one possibility that someone in his earlier family was adopted into the Shaker community and took the Pendergrass name, though there are certainly other explanations, including that the couple who left the Shaker community adopted a child of its own.

It has been stated that Abijah died after 1840, often interpreted as having been in 1840, but no death has been found. Coincidentally, or not, in the 1860 Bledsoe County, Tennessee, census, a single male of the same name and approximate age - born about 1793 in North Carolina - was living with John Eli Pendergrass[I], both of them in some way descendants of William Pendergrass Sr.]

1.1.5.4. NELSON PENDERGRAFT, born 15 February 1834 in Boyle County died 1905 in Marion County. His marriage and census records are conflicting and confusing but his first marriage was to Rebecca E Overstreet on 24 March 1860 in Boyle County with whom he had five children before becoming a widower about 1874. In the 1880 census, the five children were living in, along with sister-in-law Mary C[atherine] “Kate” Overstreet, who was keeping house. In the 1900 census, the two had been married (on 16 October 1881 in Marion County) but each was reported as having been married for 40 years, which is correct for him but an obvious error for her as she was not born until 1856 and would only have been 4 years old in 1860 when her older sister married Nelson. Although there were only two children living in the household, both born during Nelson’s second marriage, “Kate” reported that she had given birth to five children, all of whom were living, so her three older children remain unidentified. To add to the confusion, “Kate” was called Sarah Catherine in some records, but her identity is clear, and there was only time for the two marriages and ten children. [see below]

K. Descendants of Luke Prendergast and Rachel Simmons
Some online trees which postulate that Luke was a son of old Garrett have taken information from a historical novel about these Pennsylvania Pendergrasses called Bedford Village, written by Hervey Allen and published in 1944 by J.J. Little and Ives Company, New York, which the author states he reconstructed as best he could from his memories and public records. It is an interesting (if somewhat depressing) read, and some of the names and events line up with surviving records of the area, but it cannot be taken as proof of Luke’s, or anyone’s, paternity. The novel lists several Biblically named sons of old Garrett and his wife Ann Unknown (called Rose in the novel) - Matthew, Mark, Luke, John - but those names are completely fictional.
We begin, instead, with the earliest provable facts about Luke and Rachel (Simmons) Prendergast.
Luke was born around 1748, but it is not known where or to whom. Due to distance, Maryland and Pennsylvania records have not been searched thoroughly by this author to find him. He married Rachel Simmons in Saint John’s Parish Episcopal Church on 26 January, 1768. As one married by law in the county of the bride’s residence, it is assumed that she was living with her parents, George Simmons and Elizabeth Fuller [unconfirmed] in Baltimore County, Maryland when the marriage took place.
Luke and Rachel started a family in Maryland, but by 1777 Luke was on a tax list in Orange County, North Carolina, and in 1779 was taxed 570 pounds there. By December 21st of that year, he obtained a grant of 300 acres of land on the Waters of Jordan Creek in that County [grant issued 9 November 1784, Bk 57 p 108]. On 17 August 1794, 100 acres on the waters of the North Hico adjoining the Caswell County line [grant issued 14 December 1798, Bk97p318], and again in 1803, he obtained 200 mores acres.
In the ensuing years, Luke obtained land grants in Caswell County in 1799 for 50 acres, and two tracts totalling 238.5 acres in 1800. A tax list taken in 1786 showed the family living in the Gloucester district of Caswell County and comprised of one white male aged 21-60, four white males under 21 or over 60, and 4 white females of any age.
On 13 November 1819, Luke prudently executed an informative professionally written will in which he named his wife, stated that he had five children, giving their names and those of two of his grandchildren, even giving the married names of his two daughters. Though written in Orange County in 1819, it was not probated until the April term of Caswell County Court in 1831, and was not written in contemplation of imminent death:
In the name of God, Amen, I, Luke Prendergast of the State of North Carolina, County of Orange,being of sound and perfect mind and memory (blessed be God) do, this thirteenth day of November in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred nineteen, make and publish this, my Last Will and Testament, in manner following, that is to say:
First, I give and bequeath unto my well beloved wife, Rachel Prendergast, all my property at her disposal for her support during her natural life, after my Executors paying all just demands against my estate.
Item: I give and bequeath unto my granddaughter Abi Harrison, daughter of James Harrison, fifty dollars to be raised out of my estate after decease of myself and wife to be put out at interest until she comes of age or Marries.
Item: I give and bequeath unto my Grand Son Luke B Prendergast, son of John B Prendergast of Tennessee State, fifty dollars to be raised out of my estate after decease of myself and wife to be put out at interest until he comes of age or Marries.
Item: the ballance of my estate I wish to be divided among my five children (to wit:) Thomas Prendergast, George Prendergast, John B Prendergast, Elizabeth Addams and Rachel Harrison.
Item: I do now by these presents appoint, ordain and constitute my son Thomas Prendergast and My son in law James Harrison to be my lawful executors of this my Last Will and Testament, in witness whereof I, the said Luke Prendergast, have to this, my last Will and Testament, set my hand and seal the day and year above written.
Signed, sealed, published and declared by the said Luke Prendergast the Testator as his last will and testament, in the presents of us who were present at the time of signing and sealing thereof.
Witnesses: Andrew McCauley, John McCawley, Thomas Byrd, jurat
Luke Prendergast signed in full and a scrawled seal was added.
The Will was admitted to probate on the oath of Thomas Byrd, who witnessed it and a deposition of Andrew McCauley authenticating it was attached. Since Rachel outlived Luke and he left everything to her for her life, there was no estate sale giving an inventory of his goods and chattels.
Rachel’s date of death, said by her descendants to have been around 1835, is unverified.
The identity of the Rachel and Luke who were married in Maryland and the Rachel and Luke who came to North Carolina is proven with reasonable certainty by their son George’s statement in the 1850 census that he was born in Maryland.
Although it is unwise to draw conclusions based on spellings, it is noteworthy that this family, consistently, from Luke himself in his own hand and down through the generations to the present day, consistently spelled (and knew how to spell) its surname “Prendergast” when none of the other North Carolina families did.
Descendants of Luke and Rachel spread into Tennessee and from there into the Mexia, Texas, area and points west.
YDNA testing of a Luke descendant showed that he was a close match to the Orange County Pendergrass group of revolutionary brothers, to a descendant of Phillip of Carlisle Pennsylvania and to men in County Mayo, Ireland, but was lacking a distinctive marker that the nuclear “Job” family descendants have. This may indicate that Luke’s ancestor in common with them occurred further back in time and adds weight to most researchers’ cautious opinion that Luke was not directly a part of the “Job” group..
Descendants of Luke Prendergast and Rachel Simmons
__________Generation 1__________
1. LUKE1PRENDERGAST was born about 1748, an estimated birth year, and died about March 1831 in Caswell County, North Carolina.

1) My Dearest Mr. Neece -
I have made a decision which I can’t explain to you at the store, so please come to Mrs. Baldwin’s for a little while. Come in at the back gate for Minnie Henderson is here. Come right away.
Lovingly, Annie

Oct 7th, 1885
My dearest parents:
When you read this, I will no longer be Annie Prendergast but Mrs Neece. Tonight while writing this my heart almost fails me, for I know the step I am about to take will give you much pain and to know that I, your daughter, must give you pain almost breaks my heart. But this step I would take sooner or later and after much consideration I concluded it would be best for you that I take it now. You asked me to give up Mr. Neece, but I know that it would ruin my life and his, and we have many years to live, God being willing. I think it best that we should marry now because we cause so much talk whenever we are seen together and because you dislike so much for me to see him. He has tried to gain favor but thinks now that it is impossible so he too thinks it best that we be married now. I feel that I am doing right in taking this step but I know you think I am doing wrong so I beg of you, forgive me.
I don’t think I will ever regret it, but if I do I can only pray for strength to bear it and trust in God to answer.
I pray that God will help you to bear this and remember that I am not unhappy except in the knowledge that you do not approve my actions.
With much love for you all I am, Your unworthy daughter, Annie

Mr and Mrs D. M. Prendergast
You have noticed my attention to your daughter for some time past and you could but form the conclusion in your minds than that an engagement existed between us. Such conclusion was correct as we have been upon those terms for a long period and rest assured same was not formed from fancy but quite the contrary - some claim it fate, others predestination. We claim that it was fostered first through friendship which in course of time ripened into mutual love.
Having acknowledged to you that I love your daughter and also that my intentions are of the purest motives- you still denied me the priviledge to make her my wife. The reasons for same should you be in possession of any have never been made known to the writer. I have never been allowed to become possessed of your confidence, I suppose from the mere fact that you considered me unworthy from the start. Had you exerted yourself and endeavored to show me any plausible reason why I should not have taken this step, I would have listened to your proffered advice and should it have proven satisfactory it would certainly have attained your object - that of parting myself and your daughter. It is the earnest wish of my heart to cause you or your estimable lady as little pain as possible, but I fear there is no alternative.
I consider it folly to set forth excuses for steps that I may have taken as love knows no bounds and cares but little for “bolts & bans”.
The news which I am about to break to you I sincerely hope will be taken in good part and instead of angry feelings springing up I hope it may be the means of restoring harmony.
I was legally married to your daughter one hour ago.
I would like to be considered your son instead of an interloper and rest assured I will always endeavor to do my utmost to please you both and merit your love should you have [any] to extend me. Have no fears for the future happiness or welfare of your daughter as it will be life’s greatest pleasure for me to provide both. I ask of you pleadingly not to censure our marriage but on the contrary say “God’s greatest blessings attend your union”. I assure you this mode of marrying was not as we wished but we saw no alternative and rest assured it was not accomplished with the idea of causing you grief -
Yours truly,
J. R. Neece

L. Descendants of Phillip Pendergast/Pendergrass and Margaret Hastings
It has long been supposed that Phillip was one of the several sons of Garrett Pendergrass, scout and trader of Bedford, Pennsylvania, because, according to his descendants he was born nearby. Documents prove that he lived and ran a business in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, not far outside Harrisburg on the main road to Bedford. If born in that area of Pennsylvania in 1734, Garrett would have been present and married to his wife Ann. However, there is nothing linking the two other than proximity and timing. YDNA testing of a traditionally researched descendant of Phillip did not match a traditionally researched descendant of Garrett, Jr. In fact, the Phillip descendant matched the Orange County Pendergrass group, a Luke Prendergast descendant and men in County Mayo, Ireland, raising interesting issues discussed further herein.
Whatever his paternity, Phillip was a veteran of the Provincial Service in Captain Mercer’s Company, who went missing with several other soldiers of that company at the Battle of Kittanning on 8 September 1756, an attack during the French and Indian war on a Delaware Indian village which had been used as a base for raids against western Pennsylvania settlements.
In 1777 and 1782, Phillip, a hatter by trade, was taxed in Carlisle for what appears to be a town lot, one door, and for two, then later three, cows. Also on one of these lists was Lawrence Pendergrass, no occupation given.

Descendants of Richard Pendergrass
“Indentured Mulatto Manservant”
A. Advertisement and Caveat
The first surviving mention of Richard Pendergrass Sr is a notice on 7 May 1767 in a Virginia Gazette newspaper advertisement, a caveat advising all readers not to purchase anything from the estate of a certain Samuel Jones, deceased, because the advertiser, Gideon Patteson, was his creditor and had placed a lien on his available goods.1 The “goods” are listed in the advertisement as follows:
“Samuel Jones, late of the county of Halifax, deceased, in his lifetime, for securing the payment of a sum of money due to me from him, did convey to me one Mulatto man servant, named Richard Pendergast, to serve according to indenture, one gray horse branded W on the near shoulder and B on the near buttock, one fleabitten horse branded S on the near buttock, all his stock of cattle and hogs, three feather beds and furniture, one desk, a table and all his household furniture, also the profits of the several slaves under bill of sale or mortgage, viz. Michael, a boy in the hand of Joseph Carrington, five Negroes, viz. Gambo, Bridget, Sall, Ned, and Eddy, by bill of sale to Thomas Robinson, Cupid, a Negro man, to Thomas Dobbins, and Cojar, a Negro man to Charles McKinny. I hereby forewarn all persons from buying any of the said estate, as a sale thereof will not be good unless I am paid the money the said Jones owes me. Gideon Patteson” [13-A]
From this Caveat, it is plain that Richard was not a slave brought involuntarily into the colonies by force but a free person who had either agreed to the indenture as payment for his passage to Virginia, as did the vast majority of indentured servants into Virginia, or had, as an adult or teenager, agreed to the indenture for reasons of his own, or, had been apprenticed or bound out as a youth, or, less likely, was an emancipated slave who had gone into service. After years of searching, one (and probably the last remaining) direct male descendant of Richard [Sr] was finally located for genetic YDNA testing, and Richard’s father’s haplogroup was determined to be E-M2, which is predominately found in Sub-Saharan Africa. This raises the possibility, among many other explanations, that he was the child of an African slave or freedman and a free or indentured white woman, and though bound out because there was not a legal marriage, took the free status of his mother. Since it is his paternal upline which is of African origin, this lays to rest any speculation that Richard himself, at least in his own generation, was the product of a forced or consensual union by a slaveholder and a female slave of African origin.
His exact ethnicity and cultural background are as yet unknown. To date, there is no known record of apprenticeship or binding out of Richard as a child, and no known record of his birth or parentage.
Unverified online reports say that Gideon Patteson appeared on tax lists in North Carolina, and some researchers have assumed that as the explanation for Richard’s relocation there.
He was variously described in records as “Mulatto”, which did not necessarily indicate African origins and “Negro”, which usually did. There was a limited pool of “free black” families (Curtises, Goins, Parnells and a few others), in old Granville, Caswell and Person counties who intermarried with the “free black” Pendergrasses, resulting in some first cousin marriages. In only two or three generations, though, some of Richard’s Illinois descendants through his daughter Nancy married into white families and were listed as “white”, and some of his descendants through Richard, Junior, married into black families and were listed as “black”, making Richard’s downline even more diverse and interesting.
B. Revolutionary Service, Land Records, Marriage, Children. By 1777, his indenture over, Richard had relocated to the Saint Lawrence District of Caswell County, North Carolina, where he appeared on a tax list as a non-white head of household,2 and at some earlier time he had married a free black or mulatto woman whose name has not been discovered. They had at least four children, the eldest (so far identified) born about 1775.
On a document [folio #115] - written at Head Quarters in Guildford[sic] dated 17 March 1781, Richard was listed with many other patriots as a prisoner of war of the British.3
“Received from Henry Whittles Provost Marshall to His Majesty’s Army commanded by Lieut. General Earl Cornwallis.. the undermentioned Prisoners, to be hereafter accounted for by the Commissary of Prisoners to the Army commanded by Major General Greene:... Negro Richd Pendegrass - Genl Butler’s....” [13-B]
General John Butler commanded a brigade of approximately 500 men at the Battle of Guilford Courthouse, which took place 15 March, 1781. After meeting up with Greene’s main army, Butlers’ militiamen were stationed on the front line along with General Thomas Eaton’s militiamen,4 along a split rail fence facing the road where the British were expected to advance, but former militia commander Davie noted that the fence provided no real cover and his home state’s militia was left “perilously exposed”.5 Greene reportedly rode along the split rail fence and asked the militiamen to fire two volleys at the British, after which they could withdraw from action.6 The North Carolina militia retreated early in the battle, although Butler attempted to prevent their withdrawal, and Greene complained after the engagement that many North Carolina militiamen (though not specifically identified as members of Butler’s brigade) fled without firing a shot at the British.7 Still, this battle was pivotal in the eventual success of the revolution.
It is not known for certain whether Richard fought at the Battle of Guilford Courthouse but it had taken place there only two days before the list of prisoners was made and it was stated that he had been “taken at arms”, so it seems he was present at the battle and not among those who fled. He does not appear to have been mentioned in any other military record, and he did not live quite long enough to apply for a revolutionary pension, which application might have supplied important information about his birth, family, and military experience.
After the War and his release, Richard obtained 217 acres of land on the waters of Hyco in Caswell County8. He applied for the land 10 December 1778 and it was granted 13 October 1783. He obtained more land over the years.
He appeared as a non-white free head of household in the 1790 Caswell County census and again on a tax list in 1793, this time in Person County., which had split from Caswell.9
Richard’s eldest known child, Richard Jr, was born about 1775, followed by at least two daughters, Sally and Nancy, and a son James. Among other injustices toward free persons of color too well known to be recounted here, such as not being allowed to vote or serve on a jury, Richard was taxed for himself and his non-white wife, while heads of white households were not taxed for their wives, nor were white widows taxed for themselves.10 Also, free blacks were taxed for persons in their households from age 12 rather than age 16, which increased their tax burden disproportionately, and eventually led to litigation.11 Richard Sr stood as bondsman for his son Richard Jr’s marriage to Elizabeth Curtis on or about 6 December 1798 [bond date] in Person County,12 he signing with a mark of “B” and Richard Jr with an “X”. It is not known what happened to Elizabeth, but on 26 November 1800, Richard Jr was married to Mary Roberts. also in Person County.13 His sister Nancy married James Curtis14 (sometimes Curry), Sally married John Roe,15 and James married Nancy Jones.16
According to History of Marion and Clinton Counties, Illinois,17
“He [Harrison Thompson] had two sons, Harrison and John W. The former, in company with a man by the name of Fulton, built a toll bridge over Shoal Creek at the State road crossing about 1820. They owned the bridge about two years, then sold out to Henry Curtis, a negro.” “As early as 1820 several families of free negroes came in and settled in the north-east part of the township. The most prominent among them were Henry CURTIS and Richard PENDERGRASS, who had means, and figured quite conspicuously in the neighborhood. CURTIS bought the toll-bridge about 1822, and continued to collect tolls for a number of years. He had many difficulties, while acting in this capacity. With the movers from Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennessee, who objected bitterly to pay tolls to a negro. Several times he came near losing his life, but he was a resolute man, and when the occasion required it he would get down his “old gun,” and in two or three instances used it. He became dissatisfied with the business and sold out and purchased the Swearingen water mill in 1828, and continued to operate it until his death. J. Cooper PENDERGRASS, a son of Robert, accumulated considerable property here, and at one time was one of the moneyed men in the county, well known and much respected by all who knew him. He owned part of the Blackman mound, where he resided many years.” [Note: this article may have contained an error, as J. Cooper Pendergrass has generally been placed as a son of Richard Pendergrass Jr and Mary Roberts]
C. Nuncupative Will. Richard Sr left an 1817 nuncupative will18 [13-F]which was admitted to probate in 1818: “Whereas on the 17th day of December in the year of our Lord eight hundred and seventeen, d’d Richard Pendergrass of the County of Caswell and State of N’h Carolina, at his usual habitation, the said Pendergrass not having previously disposed of his estate by any written instrument, as it is believed, did, in his last sickness, and while of sound understanding, deliberated will, that his estate should be disposed of in the following manner - - to Wit: that his daughter Sally Roe of Person County N.C. should have some trifle out of his property as a token of his affection, and that his daughter Nancy Curtis of the County of Caswell should have the whole of his estate with the above exception: observing at the same time that the rest of his children had been provided for and that he intended nothing else for them.
January 2nd, 1818.
The above is Attested by

Descendants of Darby Pendergrass of Charles Town, South Carolina
Perhaps the best way to begin a discussion of Darby Pendergrass of Charleston is to explain who he was not.
Only because he was, among other things, a tailor, another author has written that he was a son of James Spendergrass, also a tailor, up in Richmond County, Virginia.1 That author, however, confused (“mangled” might be more accurate) the three generations of James Spendergrasses in North Farnham Parish. They were, in fact, James [Sr] who died in 1704/5, his son James[Jr], shoemaker, born 1692, and James Sr’s grandson through his son John, born 1729. It was the latter who was apprenticed to Colonel Landon Carter to be trained as a tailor and whose occupation was so mentioned when he sold his inherited land upon reaching age 21 in 1751. Not only was no Darby Pendergrass ever mentioned in early Richmond County, Virginia records, which are comparatively complete, but the best estimate of his birth year puts it well before James Spendergrass, the tailor, was born.2
This error, including Darby’s known South Carolina siblings as children of the James Spendergrass group of Richmond County, based solely upon that author’s confusion and tenuous assumptions, has unfortunately been copied into dozens of online family trees (along with many other such errors about the early Virginia generations.)
Other errors from the same source concerning Darby are that “Darby was a surname”,3 that surnames were commonly used as middle names among Brits by 1700 in the Southern colonies,4 and that “William, grandson of Garrett Pendergast, named a son Samuel Darby Pendergrass.”5 The first two statements are just flat wrong, and the third can only have arisen from that author’s complete and haphazard intertangling of several totally unrelated Pendergrass families into one. Garrett Pendergast of Pennsylvania (who so far as is known had no grandson named William), the Richmond County James Spendergrasses, and the Darby group had nothng to do with one another, and there is in fact a long line of Samuel Darby Pendergrasses, but they all descend from Darby !
According to his will,6 and the estate records of his son Samuel Sr,7 Darby and his kin were much wealthier than any of the other Pendergrass groups and once having moved inland from Charleston, they held massive quantities of slaves on large plantations in Clarendon, Williamsburg and Sumter Counties.8 From Darby’s will,[14B] it is known that he had less visible siblings who were living in South Carolina - a brother James, sisters Mary, Elizabeth, and Honor, and a sister Ann who was deceased by 1780. One of the sisters had produced a nephew of Darby’s named Daniel Boyne, appointed one of his executors and so over 21 in 1780. Because Darby’s will mentioned a friend who was in London but was silent as to the location of his siblings, the working hypothesis is that they were also living in South Carolina, and since it was rare for early British Isles families to come to the colonies as a group, the hypothesis is stretched further to include that they were all born in South Carolina. However, there is no proof of this and no known connection to any Pendergrass family living in the colonies earlier, nor to the Chester County, South Carolina Pendergrasses who had migrated down from Orange County, North Carolina
Other researchers have put Darby’s birth at around 1720, but no record of his birth has been found and it could easily have been as late as 1730, even 1735. The first real record concerning him, mentioning no parents, was his marriage: “ Pendergrass, Darby, of Charles Town, Taylor, and Sarah Moore, widow of John Moore, 7 June 1758; John Thomas of same, Schoolmaster, trustee, Isabella Chamber, Jane Massey, wit.” 9 Another entry reads “Pendergrass, Darvey, & Sarah More, Widow, 2 June 1758.” 10 Other researchers have assumed that Sarah’s maiden name was Warburton because two of her grandchildren may have had that middle name, but no record of her by that name has been found, nor any record of her first marriage to John Moore. Sarah’s death has been reported in several secondary sources as 3 April 1777, but again with no source listed.
When he died in 1780, Darby’s will mentioned no wife and only two sons, both of whom were under the age of 21 in 1780, so born no earlier than 1759, According to one secondary source11 citing the St Phillip’s Parish Register, Darby and Sarah had four unnamed children who died in infancy, and a son Darby, born about 1772, who was buried 1 September 1780. Their first surviing son, Samuel [Sr] is said to have been born 9 March 1768, and their only other surviving child, Benjamin, born about 1770. These are the only two mentioned in his will.
Likewise, Samuel’s marriage date is given as 24 February 1791 and that of his first child as 27 October 1791, making either her birth or her conception premature. [Note: This author has not personally searched the South Carolina archives.]
In 1766, Darby was among a large number of citizens who petitioned for relief from the Stamp Act, which taxed everything made of paper, from ship’s logs and court records to playing cards, and was a great burden to merchants.12 The British government repealed the Act on 18 March 1766.13 in response to violent protests, but reaffirmed its right to impose whatever legislation and taxes it pleased upon the colonists, an attitude which ten years later led to armed rebellion against Britain.
In 1770, 1778, and again in 1780, Darby was listed in jury pools of both grand and petit jurors,14 and was firmly established as a well-to-do merchant and tailor with major holdings of land, buildings, livestock and slaves. According to a secondary source,15 Darby fought against the British during the Siege of Charleston, 29 March to 12 May, 1780, when the town surrendered, but no service record has yet been located for him. (Many local records were burned in that and subsequent wars.)
Despite the raging revolution, on 5 August 1780, Darby had a will professionally prepared and it went into probate that same year.16 To have been valid, (unless it was holographic) the original will must have had witnesses, but the clerk did not copy their names into the will book, also making no mention of a mark, indicating that Darby had probably signed in full.17
Darby’s will ordered the immediate sale of a thousand acre tract of land at Bear’s Bluff (Macoama), two Negroes named Pool and Ned, household and kitchen furniture, horses, cows, riding chair and cart.[14A] It further directed that the remaining Negroes be hired out at their respective employments, and that his two houses in Charles Town, his pew in St Michael’s church, his house and stores in Bacons-bridge be rented out to educate, clothe, and maintain his two minor sons, Samuel and Benjamin, until Benjamin obtained the age of 21. Debts due and rents were to be collected and all funds to be invested until Benjamin (the younger of the two boys) reached 21, then everything to be divided equally between him and Samuel.
If either of the boys died without legal children before the younger reached age 21, the other son was to inherit everything, but if both sons died before age 21 without leaving legal children, then devises were made to Darby’s brother James, sisters Mary, Elizabeth, and Honor, to the unnamed children of deceased sister Ann, and to Darby’s adult nephew, Daniel Boyne. Executors appointed were “John Simpson, now of London but late of Charles Town, Merchant”, Charles Johnston, Philotheos Chiffle, Christopher Fitzsimmons and nephew Daniel Boyne.[This James is none of the Richmond County Spendergrass Jamses]
Benjamin, younger son of Darby and Sarah, seems to have evaporated from records after his father’s death, with not even on-line speculation about him after that date. However, his brother Samuel [Sr] married Sarah Riley, had several children, and flourished until 1827, outliving his son Samuel Jr by five years.18 The estates of the two Samuels were both administered by Benjamin R Pendergrass, son of Samuel Sr, who also was executor of his sister Sarah’s will in 1746.19 Benjamin R himself passed away in 1866 and left a will mentioning no wife or children, leaving everything to his beloved brother John M.20 Sarah, likewise, died unmarried and left her estate to her siblings and their offspring.
The estate administrations of the two Samuels both reflect considerable wealth.21 When Samuel Jr died in 1722, his estate, consisting of a parcel of one hundred acres on the south side of Black River in Sumter district, not divisible, and a tract of 1,386 acres also on the south side of Black River but in Williamsburg district on the west prong of Megirt’s Swamp and appraised at very little value. Also listed was personal property consisting of household and kitchen furniture, plantation tools, double barreled gun, a riding chair, saddle and bridle, double barrel gun, a silver watch, shaving apparatus, 200 bushels of corn and a “lott” of pease, 3800 weight of fodder, 3 horses, two spinning wheels and cards, poultry, 400 weight of bacon, a silver watch, 17 head of sheep, 20 head of stock cattle, 81 head of hogs, and a hand mill. Additional personal “property” included slaves named Jack, Leonard, Strafford, Smart, Jinny, Jasper, Tenah, Chrissy, Sary, Liza, Harriet, January and Old Lydia, with their initial “values”. Later, Lewis’s name was added. The estate apparently dealt a great deal in cotton. Debts to the estate were collected and debts were paid out of the estate in an interesting mix of close family, in-laws, and neighbors, including many dealings with Samuel Sr, who bought his son’s double barrel gun, a bag of “shott”, a silver watch, the shaving instruments, and most of the livestock.22
At the close of the estate, Samuel Jr’s widow, by then remarried to Isaac Bagnal, received one third of the estate and their only child, Mary Eliza, received two thirds, including 12 of the 15 named slaves, the most highly valued of whom was called Smart and who adopted the Pendergrass surname when freed.[See Chapter 6H, supra]
In 1827, Benjamin R, Darby, John M, Sarah A, Elizabeth S and Mary E were all still living.
When Samuel Sr also died intestate in 1827, some of his son’s personal items including the silver watch and shaving equipment, were still in his estate, along with carriages and a saddle, household and plantation tools, and 34 named slaves. When the estate was settled, there was a set-off in Samuel Jr’s share for items which had been given to him before his death by Samuel Sr, including livestock, furniture, and named slaves Leonard, Smart, Jinny and Rachel (the latter dec’d by 1827). Thus, it is evident that at least Leonard, Smart, and Jinny had changed hands three times by 1827 and still had nearly four decades of forced servitude before emancipation. [See Chapter 6H, supra ]
Although Mary E was listed on one early page of Samuel Sr’s estate papers as his child, there is evidence that she was actually his grandchild, only daughter of the late Samuel, Jr. Adding strength to this interpretation are two facts: first, in the division of Samuel Sr’s property, there was a section outlining property already transferred to the late Samuel Jr, including four of the same named slaves who had been allotted to Mary E in Samuel Jr’s estate, but no section under Mary E’s own name. Second, in the 1842 will of Sarah Ann Pendergrass,23 verified daughter of Samuel, Sr, she made devises to her seven siblings but there was no mention of Mary E Pendergrass. This author, therefore, confidently and firmly places Mary Eliza as Samuel Sr’s grandchild.
YDNA testing of a direct male Darby descendant reveals no close match to any of the other colonial Pendergrass groups yet tested, though it revealed one not too distant match to a Prendergast man born somewhere in Ireland in 1813. All evidence suggests that Darby and his siblings were the first generation.
1. DARBY1PENDERGRASS and SARAH [WARBURTON?]MOORE had the following children:
1.1. SAMUEL2 PENDERGRASS SR, born 9 March 1768 in South Carolina, died by 12 March 1827 in Sumter District, South Carolina, where his substantial estate was administered by his son Benjamin R Pendergrass. In February 1791, he married Sarah Riley, who was born 1 July 1772 in South Carolina and died before 1827 in Kingstree, Williamsburg County. Samuel Sr outlived his son Samuel, Jr by a few years and did business with his estate after Samuel Jr’s death in 1822. Documents from both estates of the two Samuel’s, Sr and Jr, are mixed together in one folder and require significant effort to untangle, especially since Benjamin Robert Pendergrass was the administrator of both.
1.2. BENJAMIN PENDERGRASS was born about 1770 in South Carolina (Still listed as a minor at his father’s death in 1780.) His birth year is approximated from this and his brother’s assumed birth in 1768 but could have been any time between 1760 and 1780. No other information has been found.
__________Generation 2__________
Samuel Pendergrass Sr and Sarah Riley had the following children:
1.1.1. SARAH ANN3 PENDERGRASS, born 27 October 1791 in South Carolina, died there in 1846. Her will, written in 1842 under her maiden name and probated in 1846 with her brother Benjamin Robert Pendergrass as executor, mentioned her siblings but no husband. She left a specific bequest of personal property (bureau, bed, and room furniture) to her niece Mary Elizabeth Sabb Oliver, daughter of her sister W Amelia A Pendergrass (Oliver). The remainder of her estate was divided into 7 shares, to three sisters, W Amelia Oliver, Virtue Tyson Fulton, Elizabeth Sabb Ganble, brothers Benjamin R and James M, and the children of deceased siblings Cecilia Bradley and Darby Pendergrass. There was no devise to a child of her late brother Samuel Jr, raising the question of whether Mary Eliza was deceased or estranged by 1842.
1.1.2. BENJAMIN R PENDERGRASS, born 18 October 1793 in Williamsburg County, South Carolina, died there 30 January 1866. Although he has been credited by a few other researchers with children and a marriage, a study of his census and probate records makes this unlikely. In the 1830 census, he was head of household, born between 1790-1800 [born c.1794] with another white male born 1800-1810 and a white female born 1811-1815, and 47 slaves. In 1840, there were three white males, born 1781-1790, 1791-1800 and 1801-1810, no white females, and 53 slaves, so if Benjamin had been married, his wife was deceased with no issue by 1840. In 1850, Benjamin R was listed as born 1794 and his brother John Moore, born 1807, was living in the household and there were no white females, but multiple slaves on the slave census. In 1860 Benjamin’s apparent nephew Samuel Fulton Pendergrass, a physician born about 1832, was living in, along with a family of related Fultons. When he died in 1866, his will, witnessed by A F, J M and S F Pendergrass, left everything he owned to his beloved brother, John Moore Pendergrass with no mention of a wife or children.
1.1.3. SAMUEL PENDERGRASS JR, born 9 October 1795 in South Carolina, died there young of unknown causes in 1822. He married Ann Eliza Conyers, who was born in 1799 and left a complicated estate record which included real estate, personal property and 15 slaves, who were divided one third to his widow and two thirds to their only daughter Mary Eliza. In Mary Eliza’s portion of the slaves were Jack, Straphon, Lydia, Sarah, Jinney, Jasper, Lewis, Lizzy, Harriet, Amey, and Smart, who adopted the surname Pendergrass when freed, and was the great-great-grandfather of famous singer, Teddy Pendergrass.
1.1.4. MARGARET R PENDERGRASS, said to have been born 8 September 1797 in South Carolina was not listed as a sibling of Sarah A Pendergrass in her 1842 will, so either did not live to marry and have children or was listed in error as a child of Samuel Sr. [or was estranged ?]
1.1.5. AMELIA /ALMIRA PENDERGRASS, born 21 September 1799 in South Carolina, died 27 June 1844 in South Carolina, married Peter Morgan Oliver there on 12 December 1817. He was born 13 June 1798, and died 13 December 1844 in St Marks Parish, Clarendon, South Carolina.
1.1.6. CECILIA WARBURTON PENDERGRASS, born 9 February 1802 in Broadswamp, South Carolina, died 14 November 1839 in South Carolina. She married Dr. James Bradley, fourth child of James Bradley Jr and Mary Wilson on 3 November 1820. He was born 11 May 1790 and died 21 August 1867 in Kingstree, South Carolina.
1.1.7. DARBY PENDERGRASS, born 24 February 1804 in South Carolina, died before 1842 in South Carolina. About 1829, he married Mary Elizabeth “Betsy” Moore, born in 1801 in South Carolina and died there 28 December 1884.

Her zeal, piety, and amiableness of manner won the esteem of all who knew her.

Samuel Pendergrass Jr.and Ann Eliza Conyers had the following child:
1.1.3.1. MARY ELIZA PENDERGRASS, born about 1820, was an orphaned minor in 1822. She inherited one third of her father’s estate, including a dozen named slaves, at her father’s death in 1822, through an action of partition a few years later. She was definitely mentioned by name as an unmarried minor daughter in Samuel Sr’s estate administration, but her share of the estate was listed under the estate of her father - nothing under her own name. She was not mentioned as a sibling in Sarah’s 1842 will. Since Samuel Jr’s only child was Mary E[liza] the question is raised whether she was Samuel Sr’s granddaughter, listed as his child by mistake because her father Samuel Jr was deceased. Based on all the evidence, she is placed here and not as a child of Samuel Sr. One of the male slaves transferred to her was Smart, who adopted the Pendergrass name when freed (as did many of the slaves held by Pendergrasses) and was the great-great-grandfather of famous singer Teddy Pendergrass.

Most Common Mistakes of Genealogical Research - Pitfalls for the Unwary
Of course, the most modern and widespread mistake in genealogical research at the time of the writing of this book is to lift (or graft onto) an online tree of someone else who may have done no real research at all and assume that it is correct, or even to do the same from a published print genealogy or DAR application. Assuming that the reader of this book is more serious and experienced than to commit such amateurish folly, here are some common mistakes that even seasoned researchers of real records in real libraries sometimes make:
A. The Spelling Hangup: The most common mistake of all among beginning family researchers is to become fixated on the current or family branch spelling of names to the exclusion of real and valuable evidence. Countless times someone has said while looking at a perfectly clear document, “Well, that one can’t be ours because our family always spelled it _____! ” Spelling was not standardized until quite recently, and even then (and even now) clerks and list-makers spelled the names as they heard them, sometimes with comical results and sometimes several different ways on the very same page. There are at least thirty spelling variations of Prendergast, including the more common and phonetic Pendergrass, and (for those who misinterpreted the old Ss), Pendergrast and Pendergraft, plus Bendergross, Pendergrays, Penderdas, Spendergrass, Spenderdas, and my personal court record favorite, “Powderass”. Those who don’t explore all possible spellings (and misspellings) of the researched name are bound to miss important references. Don’t forget to check for possible elision, such as James Pendergrass becoming James Spendergrass (who would think to look for Pendergrass in the “S” section?) Be sure to read every entry for every letter in every index which could possibly contain a name that some semi-literate but creative bad speller might have interpreted as the one you are seeking, and learn the Soundex system, too.
Don’t fail to become familiar with nicknames of the former day, such as Sally for Sarah, Molly/ Polly for Mary, Jenny or Jincy for Jane, Mattie, Patsy and Patti for Martha, Bill for William, and Hank for Henry, among many others. Become familiar with abbreviations for common first names (Jno, Jas, Wm, Thos, Saml and so on) and look for raised letters in those abbreviations which might change the meaning (Jno, Solo, Jas). In the old writing, for example, the abbreviation for “Solo” can look very much like “Job”.
In cases of doubt, look for similar words and letters written in the same hand, and this is only one good reason always to work with at least an image of the original document whenever possible. A tiny check mark or margin note can make all the difference in meaning. Transcribers may have omitted information to save space, or may simply have made errors from not being as familiar with the surrounding facts and people as you are.
Remember that in early records, the spellings often reflected the real pronunciation as it came to the ear of the writer, as in “Pendergrays”, “Mockerson Creek”, “Malacrier Dickerson” or “Luwas Bobo” (Louis Barbeau). While it is generally a myth that “the name was changed at Ellis Island”, don’t ignore the tendency in America to shorten or Anglicize or translate names for convenience. The lovely old French name “de la Renaudière’ is now “Lonadier” in Louisiana, and in Deep East Texas, Maximiliano sadly became “Maxey” and Jean Baptiste de Piedferme dit Leger became just John Pifermo. In eastern Kentucky, Gephardt became Gabbard and in Pennsylvania and elsewhere some German names were translated into their English equivalents. Some such names are easily recognizable from one language to another (“Goldstein”) but never forget that “Zimmerman” might have become “Carpenter”, as well.
Get familiar with the old handwriting, with its looped double Ss, the similarities of S’s, T’s and L’s, and the abbreviations for common words, which may differ vastly from one writer to another. (e.g. “M.O.R” meant to at least one court clerk “Upon Motion, Ordered to be Recorded”, “tobo” stood for “tobacco”. “als” for “alias” and so on). I’s and J’s were written identically and were frequently treated as the same letter and indexed together in the same place (to such an extent that it was considered too confusing to have both “I” and “J” streets in Washington, D.C.)
Explore the old names for diseases that may turn up in death certificates and letters, as well. Many of our ancestors suffered from such mysteries as ague, dropsy, consumption, and flux, to name only a few.
Though it usually makes little difference to the outcome, one sure sign of an inexperienced researcher is the misinterpretation of the “thorn” symbol [ye] for “ye”, as in “Ye Olde Inn”. The thorn comes from an ancient Celtic rune and is and always has been pronounced “the”, not “ye”. A related rune [yt] stands for “that”. Although years of searching have failed to turn up an original or image of the 1709 Quaker marriage record for John Pendergras and Jane Pleasants, clearly whoever did transcribe it was looking at the original document because he or she mistook the thorn for “ye” and transcribed it that way.
In cases of doubt, a sharp, clear image of the document should always be secured for a second look later when more surrounding facts are known. That tiny margin squiggle the ancient writer meant to stand for “Sr” that no one else saw, could get you back another generation.
B. Not All Household Members Are Related: If the advent of the 1850 census, the first to enumerate all [free] members of individual households by name, taught us anything at all, it was the surprising revelation that not everyone listed as living in the same house was a spouse, descendant or even relative of the householder. Suddenly there were hired hands living in, and housekeepers, cousins, elderly parents, grandchildren, even boarders and servants. Of course, unrelated individuals had been in households in prior records all along, but were only nameless marks or numbers too often assumed to be members of the immediate family. The temptation is strong to assume that every child in the household is the biological child of the householder, but until there is corroborating evidence of each individual’s identity, that assumption is unsafe. If there is only one recently married young couple in the household with two or three young children, the working hypothesis that they are husband and wife with their own children is reasonable, but shouldn’t be taken for granted. The adult female may have been a spinster or widowed sister or mother keeping house for a widowed brother or son, and one or more of the children may have been an orphaned relative, an apprentice, or servant, or grandchild. In more complex households, until the census began demanding in 1880 that the relationship of all household members to the head of the household be listed, it is simply unwise to make any such assumptions.
In the 1850 and subsequent census records, members of the household were nearly always listed in a particular order: The (usually male) head of household, his wife, their children in birth order, then other relatives such as married children and their own children, servants, hired hands, and lodgers. In 1870 after the Civil War, there were many families in which an apparently widowed daughter or daughter-in-law and her children were living with her (or his) parents. Care must be exercised to distinguish such daughters from servant women who also may have been living in with their children, and those who may even have been more distant relatives who bore the same surname.
C. Other Unwarranted Assumptions:
Similarly, it should not be assumed that particular persons who don’t share a surname are blood relations just because they post peace bonds for one another, appear in court records together, stand as one another’s marriage bondsmen, or administer one another’s estates. Often, bonds were posted by friends or constables, and creditors were commonly appointed as administrators of their debtors’ estates.
It should also not be assumed that a person who stood as bondsman actually paid money into the court registry or could afford to do so. Ordinarily, the bond was only a pledge to pay if the marriage did not occur, or if the bonded person failed to appear for court, or an administrator absconded with an estate. Only more recently did an actual bond, insurance policy or deposit into the registry of the court become a requirement for bondsmen, and then only in certain cases.
It should not be assumed that the term “orphan” meant that a child’s mother as well as his father was deceased, since this was not the case in early law, and the term “infant” meant anyone under the legal age of majority, in the way we use the term “minor” now.
It should go without saying that it is never safe to assume that two people of the same name are necessarily the same person without corroborating evidence, but this is a prevalent error in many works.
D. Not All Those of the Same Name Are the Same Person:. Be cautious in identifying even those people whose names seem unique as one, and only one, person. Since it was the Christian custom to name children after close relatives, living or not, there might be, for example, five Hezekiah Masseys of various unstated ages in a single tax district (in fact, there were - to the point that they had to be identified by the watercourses on which each lived). Even more problematic are those with common first names such as John and James, even in families with less common surnames. In online trees, one frequently sees individuals who appear to have lived a hundred and forty years when a quick check of the records shows they were relatives, perhaps even a father and son, with the son inheriting the family farm and staying in the same location. In very early years, land may even have passed automatically to the eldest son or next closest heir with no written record required due to primogeniture. Although it is not always possible to be certain of identity, paying close attention to such things as deed descriptions, taxation amounts, (i.e. one John Johnson might annually pay twenty pounds in taxes and another only two), close neighbors, changes in county boundaries and other identifiers is important. In some cases, names of those for whom the head of household was taxed, such as sons or slaves, or even the number of livestock taxed, may offer a clue to identity. When noting the appearance of a name on a tax list, census or jury record, one should always jot down a dozen or more names on either side of the target name, even if the list is alphabetized or by letter. The appearance on a series of tax lists of a (hypothetical) John Johnson with one cow who lives near an Applewhite Ogelthorpe should readily distinguish him from the John Johnson with a carriage and six horses who lives near Moses Christmass year after year.
Although it wasn’t unusual for a person to hold land in two different counties, especially as the original counties split into smaller ones, or to sue in more than one county courthouse, this does not mean that every person of the same surname is related to every other person with that surname. Most of the early records were lost, many people lived and died without leaving any written record at all, and it is certainly not good logic to link together everyone of the same name who created an extant record. People were pouring into the colonies at a staggering rate from all over the world while those already here often had large families, as well as a very high mortality rate.
Most people could not afford extensive travel and for those persons who were transported for crimes, the penalty for returning to England was death. Indentured servants who worked four to six years to earn passage to the colonies did not capriciously hop back and forth across the Atlantic to seek a bride or settle an estate, and since even in 1860 it took several days to travel from Wythe to Lee County, Virginia, the chances are that without some other solid evidence, the person in Connecticut named John Jones is not the same person as the John Jones in South Carolina.
Beware of any record or tree which attributes a middle name to a person of British Isles ancestry before the American Revolution. More than one given name was quite rare in that culture until about 1800, although it was common in continental European immigrants. Some writers have attempted to pound a square peg into a round hole by asserting that someone was “going by” a middle name with no evidence whatsoever that such a middle name ever existed. One way this has happened in recent print sources is from spelling errors about the same person on different lists by different tax or census takers or clerks. For example, one census taker heard “Joe” instead of “Job” and wrote down Joseph on one single census list in one single year. In the multitude of other written records throughout his life, Job was simply Job or Jobe or Joab, but now he is “Joseph” Job on many online trees which took their information directly or indirectly from the Allen Pendergraft book. Similarly, one tax taker in North Carolina assumed that “Sol” was short for Solsbury when it was actually short for Solomon and wrote it that way for two or three years, so now one often sees good plain Solomon erroneously called Solomon Saulsbury Pendergrass. A Virginia tax taker listed Vincent Pendergrass, clearly so identified in dozens of other documents, as “Winston” during that writer’s brief tenure as a constable.
Before endowing someone with a second first name, great caution should be exercised to rule out both spelling variations and wishful thinking. (Calling plain Spencer Pendergrass “James” Spencer Pendergrass without ever seeing it on any document does not make him the James of the John and James duo in Stafford County,Virginia, no matter how much one might wish it were so.)
E. Not All Those Whose Records Survived Are the Same Family: In the past, there has been a tendency on the part of some authors to lump all those of the same surname into one big family, no matter how far apart they may have lived in space and time. People about whom only one brief moment has been recorded and who may not have lived out the week have been presumed, no matter how illogically, to have been parents or descendants of people in other states and counties years before and after, solely because they shared the same last name.
New colonists were arriving from all over the world from 1607 forward, and might well have brought the same family name from a different country altogether (such as the Scottish Weddles and the German Weddles) or from different parts of the British Isles, such as various parts of England and Ireland, because of previous immigrations centuries earlier. Not all Pendergrasses were born in County Mayo, Ireland, just because that county is shown on pub maps as a primary seat of the family in the 1100s.
Many early colonists led quiet lives and were never in a written record, and only a tiny fragment of the records that once existed still exist today. One cannot, then, conclude from a few surviving scattered records that all people of the same name in all the colonies in all the decades were genetically related to one another. In fact, DNA testing has shown quite clearly that not all of them were.
Beware, then, of any publication which links or attempts to link all those of one surname who lived in different places at different times into one big inter-related family without solid evidence that they were in fact related. One cannot simply take all those with the same last name who happened to have left a surviving record during two hundred and fifty years, put them all into a blender and hit “purée”.
Extreme caution must be exercised and solid evidence produced beyond a simple name, first or last, when attempting to show that an individual is the same as or related to any other individual.
F. Not Reading the Entire Document, Page, or Index: It is always wise to read (and copy) any found document throughly and to be sure there are no later notations on following or reverse pages. Deeds for lease and release are found in two parts, for example, and wills may by followed by codicils or inventories and estate sale lists. Also, there is often more than one mention of a person or case on a single page, especially in court records when sessions occurred only quarterly so lawsuits couldn’t be heard until then.
Paper was scarce and clerks often ran out of room on the designated index page and were forced to become creative. An excess of letter M or S entries, for example, might be found at the end of the Qs, and there may be several blocks of entries arranged by letter in various places at various times in the same index. “I”s and “J”s were as often considered one letter as not. Clerks usually entered the items in each lettered section as they occurred, so they are very seldom strictly alphabetized in bound volumes of court records, wills and estates, deed books and the like. It pays to be systematic in reading entire indices thoroughly from start to finish, so no important entry is missed, especially in view of early creative spellings and possible elision.
Sometimes a bound index was taken apart to be microfilmed, so the letter entries may be wildly out of order. Also, sometimes, reading the entire index will cause the researcher to stumble onto a random, unexpected note about a different ancestor or someone under a different name, or cause a neighbor or event to be seen in a different light.
One day the whole world will be digitized, but while there are still microfilm rolls, some caution should be exercised in using them. It is easy to scroll too quickly through a particular reel and miss the section breaks, leading the reader to be researching in the wrong volume, or even county, without realizing it, or at least to be puzzled for a while as to why a particular page number doesn’t contain the indexed reference. Novice researchers should be aware that section breaks are most often indicated by a few blank (dark) pages, and then a white square or two giving the title and information about the upcoming section. Also, microfilm box labels do not always list contents in the same order in which they appear on film.
If an index lists an entry on a particular page, most do not indicate how many times that item or person appears on that page, so it is important to read the entire page for additional references. Also, libraries often bind more than one soft covered pamphlet or booklet into the same hard cover to cut down on binding costs, so attention must be paid to consulting the individual index within each pamphlet or booklet, and at the opposite end of the scale, some large sets of volumes have only one index to all the books, contained at the end of the final volume.
And, of course, many original records have never been indexed at all and the researcher can only settle in to read them front to back in hope of an inspiring tidbit now and again to keep attention focussed.
Different state archives and courthouses have different rules about using and copying documents and films, the best allowing use of the researcher’s own flash drive to make unlimited free copies from computerized film readers, and the friendliest allowing the researcher to view and request copies of original paper documents. All state archives have security requirements such as the presentation of identification when entering the search room, so it is wise to find out ahead of time what will be needed and what items will or won’t be allowed (as well as to investigate parking and lodging). When working with original documents, it is forbidden to use an ink pen or take flash photographs, and the documents must be kept flat on the table to avoid tears or crumbling. Most archives have security cameras to avoid theft. Whatever the rules may be, though, they are a small price to pay for the preservation and privilege of working with centuries-old documents.
G. Not Noticing the Neighbors : Many researchers learn too late the importance of noting and analyzing the names of the neighbors and associates of the target family. The identity of those who appeared on tax lists with them, attended church with them, employed them or litigated against them or left deeds or probate records mentioning them, can narrow down the area where they lived and even the pool of those from whom they were able to choose, or be chosen by, for marriage. Noting the names of near neighbors can help distinguish one person of the same name from another of that name in the same area, and can assist in determining migration patterns. Sometimes the will or deed or processioners’ record of a neighbor may turn up information that wouldn’t ordinarily be found, or can help to clarify events that were happening at the time for everyone in the same vicinity.
Sometimes, when records about our own ancestors are scarce, or suddenly disappear from a specific area, knowing what their neighbors and associates were doing and where they went can be helpful.
H. Tax Lists Versus Census Lists: Although the census taker went door to door and enumerated the households in order, more or less, so that the next family listed is generally the next nearest neighbor, this is not true of property, poll tax and titheables lists. Even sophisticated researchers have made the unwarranted assumption that two heads of household listed adjacent to one another on a tax list also lived adjacent to one another geographically. In practice, taxpayers turned in individual lists of their taxable people or property to the sheriff, undersheriff, or constable in no particular order, although related heads of families or close neighbors might turn them in together. There were several types of lists: the parish levy, the poll tax or per capita list for all taxable persons in a particular household of a certain (variable) age, delinquents lists for those who had not paid tax, insolvents lists for those who couldn’t, removals lists for those who had left the area, and property tax lists, which taxed various things in various years, sometimes land, sometimes businesses, carriages or clocks or livestock, but always, always slaves.
There were complicated and constantly changing rules about who was taxed at what age, and the reader can find those elsewhere for each individual year and state, but a reasonable rule of thumb for Virginia and North Carolina is that all (well, almost all) white males were taxable at age 16 before the Revolution and at 21 thereafter, including heads of household. White women were never taxed for themselves, but if they were heads of household (likely widowed), their sons, slaves, land and property were. In North Carolina, free black men were unfairly taxed for both themselves and their free black wives, which injustice eventually resulted in a lawsuit against the state. Laws changed often as to which slaves were taxed at what ages, and for a year or two, all heads of household were taxed or not taxed based on their marital status, an important find if one’s ancestor is listed there. An excellent discussion of tax laws in North Carolina can be found in Helen Leary’s wonderful volume called “North Carolina Research”, and individual sources should be consulted for each colony or state being researched, because the sudden appearance of s new name on a tax list near an established one can be a good indicator of age.
A person could be exempted from church levies or taxes by consent of the church wardens or courts due to extreme poverty, disability, old age, or public service. (Captains and constables, for example, were usually not taxed.) It was not uncommon for householders to understate the ages of their sons or omit their names to lessen the tax burden, but the penalties for doing so, or for failing to turn in a list, were harsh - double the tax. Neighbors were encouraged to inform on neighbors who tried to dodge taxes and levies, and lists were often posted publicly to facilitate this process.
Once the lists of persons taxable to each householder were obtained, a list of each district was compiled from them, often found on small scraps of crumbling paper. These are the most valuable lists because they are usually not arranged by letter and usually indicate a single neighborhood, sometimes designated by the name of the Captain or Constable and sometimes by a geographical feature. There might be a dozen or more such small lists in one county in a particular year, meant to be turned in to the Sheriff in order to make a countywide list. In any given year, all or any part of these lists or even the larger countywide lists might have been lost or destroyed. It should not be assumed that a person has gone from an area unless it is first determined that the appropriate tax lists have survived for each year and there is a steady pattern of neighbors in that same tax district (the name of which might change often) while the target person is missing. Especially during the revolutionary years, tax lists became quite spotty, but they are still the best governmental resource and the likeliest to have been carefully maintained.
Frequently, tax district boundary lines changed just as county lines did, so if all the neighbors and the target person are still together, it is likelier that the boundary or county line changed than that the people physically moved. It is essential to become familiar with county formation maps for the area being researched, in order to know what the target location was called at which time, so that the proper county records can be searched. Likewise, a knowledge of the various early church parish boundaries is important, as they did not always follow the county lines.
Once the neighborhood tax lists were turned in, a county-wide list was prepared from them, usually arranged by first letter of last name only, but now and then strictly alphabetized. There was also a “delinquents or removals” list made of those who had failed or refused to turn in their tax lists or pay their taxes, and those who had “run off” or moved away. Occasionally, there were “insolvency” lists of those who were deemed by the court as too poor to tax. Now and then, there was a list which noted that someone “has no effects” or “has nothing”, a good indication that the target individual won’t be found among the landed gentry.
I. Ignoring County Formation: Of key importance to any family history research is a thorough understanding of the ways and times county and parish borders changed. Not knowing that the parcel of real estate where one’s target ancestors lived in 1763 was in a different county with a different courthouse by 1764 can lead to the conclusion that those ancestors had left the area altogether and evidence about them could be missed that with a little research could have been found. As just one example from the pages of this book, the early Sandy Creek Pendergrasses lived within a five mile radius of one another near present day Kitrell, Bobbitt, and Vicksboro. When they arrived in 1755, the area was firmly in (old) Granville County, but when Granville was split vertically into Granville and Bute in 1764 the family was right on the border, just inside Bute. In 1779, Bute was divided horizontally into Warren (north) and Franklin (south) and again the Pendergrasses were right on the border, so that some of them were in one county and some in the other, though they lived on or near the same creek. To add to the confusion, for a time in the early 1800s, the western Warren County border shifted back into old Granville and then back out again, making it appear that at least one individual had relocated twice when in fact he was living in the same neighborhood with the same people all along. Much later, when the county of Vance was superimposed onto the existing counties in 1881, the county line literally split the tiny town of Vicksboro right up the middle, with four Pendergrass cemeteries of close relatives on its corners, three in one county and one in the other.
Thus, it is very important to learn where the records went when new, smaller counties were formed from larger, older counties or renamed, recombined or rebordered. In fact, there have been times when border shifts were as true of colonies and states as of counties and parishes, so one of the quickest ways to run into trouble, lose important evidence and become discouraged is to lose sight of boundary changes.
Fortunately, there are now wonderful online programs which show county formation maps of various states by year, as well as published and online area map images; old ones and topographic ones are especially helpful. Highways are constantly renumbered and renamed but many of the creeks still bear the names of the settlers who first lived there. An old topographic map of the Sandy Creek area still shows an old gravel road at the southwest end of Warren County labelled “Pendergrass Road”, now displayed on current road maps as “Summit Road” despite the fact that the terrain there could not be much flatter.
In short, there is no substitute for knowing in which tax or militia district, county, parish and state your research target lived in each year of life.
J. Not Having a Consistent System for Noting Locations of Records: It is important to be able to find records again once they are located the first time and exceedingly frustrating not to be able to do so. Avoiding the problem is simple enough when working with print sources: before examining a volume or reading its index, note down the name of the book, its author and call number, and if a record is located, the page number. If no record of interest is located in that volume, write down that information to avoid going through the same volume twice. It is important to keep a log of sources searched in order to avoid wasting time, but it is also important to review sources from time to time in light of later knowledge.
When working with bound volumes or microfilm reels, it is important to make a copy of any index in which an interesting reference is found, so that page numbers can be verified if there is doubt later. The natural instinct when finding a tantalizing entry in the index is to scan forward to that page to see what is on it, but better practice is to note down all references in that volume’s index that need to be checked and scroll forward to them in page order. When reading court records, best practice is to make a copy of the court opening for the day in which the entry is found, which will have the date, the type of court and the county, and a list of the judges who were sitting on that day, before recording the entry itself. Impatient types such as myself who cannot wait to read the entry would be well advised to form an unalterable pattern of making a copy of the target entry and then immediately scrolling or turning back to the court opening page and making a copy of it as the very next image. Inconsistency in a pattern of recording the court opening information can lead to confusion about what happened when. An independent set of written backup notes taken while viewing each film or volume or box of records is also helpful.
Today’s technology has made organization and storage of documents and data a different world from the old school system of notebooks, and dusty bins and boxes of paper notes. Document images and photographs can now be organized and attached electronically to the appropriate individual in a variety of ways using online programs like Ancestry, Family Treemaker or a host of others, with the added capability of printed reports and charts created straight from the stored information. Each serious researcher must choose a consistent method and personal comfort level for organizing and retrieving data efficiently or live to regret not doing so.
Backups in various forms are essential in case of all sorts of disasters, natural or computer-based.
Ancestry.com is good for organizing and saving electronic info and images about individuals, with the advantage that images of precious documents and photos can always be retrieved if the originals are lost, but such services carry a subscription cost. Documents and photograph images can now be stored in “The Cloud” for safety, as well.
For this book, the author’s personal, quite primitive method, begun on graph paper and shifted to a database when personal computers became available, was to list each event by year under a general county heading, then to add the dates, persons and details to each such entry from notes and other findings to form roughly organized “factoids” from early to late in each county, while boxes and bins of notes multiplied like bunnies. Then, sections of this raw data were moved into the early electronic drafts of this book to be formed into what were hoped to be sensible paragraphs, but in truth, the proper organization and storage of research data and the boxes of notes and images that accumulate is something about which this author is woefully unqualified to speak.
One good source of organization of the paper materials which seem to pile up in drifts around genealogical researchers is the four part color-coded system of Mary Hill that Ancestry and Family Tree Maker are also currently including in their new programming, but there are many others available.
Whatever system of notation is chosen or created to organize and store information and sources, using it consistently will make it easier to find your data when it is needed..
K. Accepting as True That which is Only Printed. Many people seem to believe that anything set in type must be true, and it is certainly tempting to take the easy way out and simply copy what someone else has already done. There have always been wide variations in the quality of the individual research that has been printed over the years, from excellent to well meaning but bad, to downright fraudulent. There was a fashion for a while to “adopt” royal or famous ancestors from whom to descend, and not all family historians were above bending the facts to make this happen for a well-to-do patron, who probably displayed portraits of other people’s ancestors, too. Other authors simply made bad assumptions based on similar names, family legends, personal quirks, or pure wishful thinking, and some authors who sound quite authoritative have had no concept of proper research methods.
For a time, there were frenzied efforts on the part of ladies who wanted to join the Daughters of the American Revolution to submit applications which until recently were not subjected to the level of strict scrutiny that they are today. Such applications more frequently than not (and intentionally or not), contain many of these errors and should always be viewed with caution until verified independently.
It is essential for the researcher to verify independently any information found in any published source (even this one) before accepting it as valid. The most meticulous and well-intentioned researcher may misread a document, accidentally omit an important fact, type 1752 instead of 1652, or unwittingly fall prey to an unconscious or preconceived notion that casts a shadow on impartiality.
New discoveries of old documents may have been made which alter the interpretation of what came before, and of course DNA testing can now perform wonders that were completely unknown when most print books were published.
Most importantly, no researcher should rely on simply sawing a branch off someone else’s online family tree and grafting it onto one’s own, an electronic process so easy and fraught with peril that it probably ought to be illegal. Once a mistake or misconception is posted on one such online tree, it will be copied and repeated and embellished and twisted into unrecognizable shapes thousands of times until it is impossible to eradicate.
Do your own research and check each and every fact or theory against a real document before accepting it as true, and you will have the intense satisfaction of knowing who your ancestors really were and what their place in history really was.
Chapter 16
Language, Superstitions, and Ballads of Eastern Kentucky
A. Hit’s Mundy in BOONEvul
When the hill people of Eastern Kentucky are depicted in movies and on television, there seem to be several consistent misconceptions about us: that we are all inbred, that we are all ignorant rednecks, and that we are all “Southern”. Even films theoretically set in eastern Kentucky usually feature speakers with drawling Texas or Alabama accents and dialogs calling a single person “y’all”. ( Coal Miner’s Daughter is the rare authentic exception).
The first charge has at least an element of former truth. The isolation of the mountains and the number of offspring in a typical Appalachian family did result in an incidence of tangled family lines that is perhaps somewhat greater than in less isolated and more mobile areas of the country. There were in fact many marriages between several members of the same two families, especially if they lived on adjacent farms, and first cousin marriages in the highland country were not uncommon. Whether this tendency was for good or for ill is still an open question.
There were the Blue Combses of Troublesome Creek in Perry County whose close intermarriages with the Fugate family and their own Combs cousins resulted in the passing down of a recessive gene which literally caused their skin to be various shades of blue, and there no doubt were other less desirable genetic traits in other mountain families. It is true that at least in earlier days, the descendants of the early mountain pioneers, almost exclusively of British Isles and German stock, tended to resemble one another physically more closely than in geographical areas with more racial and cultural diversity. However, we are not quite as inbred as European royalty, and through the centuries in Eastern Kentucky we have managed to rear large families of sturdy, hardworking, and mostly honest, hospitable folk who have passed down, along with their genes, a fierce sense of pride, honor, and family closeness.
A Kentuckian’s word of honor is second to none, and people have been shot for questioning it. There is as much sin in us as in anyone else, but we don’t lie about it.
Eastern Kentuckians are not “rednecks” - a purely Southern term for those who toil under the red sun in the red soil of the states to our South. We are instead “hillbillies” and most of us are very proud of it. The term is derived from the billy goat’s ability to clamber about on and eke out a meager living from bare mountain rock. Some say billy goats and hillbillies have one side’s legs shorter than the other to compensate for the difference in terrain, but this has never been verified because neither can be caught to be measured. Since hillbillies have been depicted as no-count objects of derision in cartoons like “Li’l Abner” and “Snuffy Smith”, it is a term of pride that should be used only by those who can claim it. The wise stranger does not address a mountain man by that term until he says it of himself.
Owsley County, where the Pendergrass clan first settled in Kentucky, has traditionally been the poorest single county in the continental United States and still is so at the writing of this book. Although there were deep coal mining operations in neighboring counties, Owsley was not an underground mining area and its citizens survived mostly on subsistence farming and small tobacco bases. Recently, its beautiful rugged hills, wildlife, and creeks have been destroyed by timbering and mountaintop removal coal mining, in which the tops of ancient wooded mountains and wildlife habitat are blasted into rock fragments the size of a human hand in order to bulldoze and truck out a thin seam of coal. The coal company then uses heavy machinery to pile the rock fragments up into ugly low mounds where the ancient hills used to be, covers the mounds with a few strips of dry sod, and announces that the area has been “reclaimed”. This shameful practice has been allowed to go forth because most of the area’s early residents have died off and their descendants have gone to live where work is available and no longer stay in touch with the land where they were born. Trees will take hundreds of years to regrow, wildlife is gone forever and the streams and lovely rocky creeks are clogged and polluted into non-existence. The absentee owner is paid a pittance for his mineral rights and accepts the money gratefully, the coal company owner makes enormous profits, and the absentee landowner never sees the incredible destruction of beauty and habitat that is occurring in his homeland.
Eastern Kentuckians are not “ignorant”. While it is true that our traditionally isolated and impoverished way of life did not in the past afford the best in strictly academic education, this was also true in most other rural areas, and these settlers in many ways enjoyed fully knowledgeable lives that, despite their hardships, were far healthier and more fulfilling than the present-day stressful, technological, gadget-filled “lifestyle” which younger people now seek. Before television and electronic gizmos and the desire for those consumed their lives, people sat around the fireplace at the end of a physically strenuous day (no gym membership required) relaxed and were entertained by skillful storytellers and inventive family pastimes, traditional music, and poetry. Women did needlework and men whittled or tended the fire. Children played with toys that were powered by imagination only, and people wrote real paper letters that are treasured to this day. A mountain man knew the right ways and seasons for planting, hunting, hog killing, harvesting fruits and vegetables, drying tobacco, and caring for the livestock, and, yes, perhaps running a still. A mountain woman knew how to deliver and bring up babies, preserve the fruits and vegetables, spin, quilt, and make clothing, cook and clean, handily dispatch serpents into the next world with a hoe, and all other things necessary to make a good life under tough conditions. Family members helped one another, and neighbors helped neighbors. Sunday afternoons after church were reserved for visiting or being visited, to “set a spell” on the porch, and everyone who came brought a “mess” of whatever was in season for the table and left with a “mess” of something else. 1
Although no one wants to return to the primitive medicinal practices, high mortality rate, and subjugation of women and minorities, there is still much to be said for the slower, nature-based pace and enjoyment of traditional family life in those early mountain days
One of the major reasons that outsiders mistakenly believe hill people to be “ignorant” is that we speak a dialect of our own, called a “Briar” (pronounced “Br’ar”) that is difficult for those not brought up in it to understand. Although the Briar, like so many other non-standard dialects, may be judged by those who don’t speak it to be substandard, it is in fact as good and as effective as any other language system and contains remnants of early, middle and Shakespearean English, Scots dialect, Irish, American colonial and other influences, all thrown together in a linguistic stew in the 1700s and left alone in the valleys and hollers to form its own tangy vocabulary and structural patterns, no better or worse than speech patterns in other parts of the country, but its own lively, colorful and often humorously accurate entity.
Eastern Kentucky, no matter how it is shown in or affected by the media, is not “Southern”. Kentucky was a border state which did not secede from the United States at the time of the Civil War, and although loyalties were sometimes sharply divided, and there were some instances of slavery in Eastern Kentucky before the war, most Kentuckians fought on the side of the Union. We don’t eat grits and we don’t say “y’all” (at least until lately) and we don’t wave rebel flags or frequent honky-tonks. There were no honky-tonks, as most of the poorer counties were traditionally, at least legally, dry. Some of the features and grammar of our dialect are similar to those in the true “Southern” states, the rest of Appalachia and areas later settled by Appalachians such as Arkansas, but even so, the pronunciation is quite different from a Southern drawl, and some expressions are exclusive to Eastern Kentucky and a few adjacent counties of West Virginia.
Among the most widely known terms to outsiders is the word “holler”, which is a completely different thing from something “hollow”. Although “holler” began as a regional pronunciation of the word “hollow”, it has come to have a distinctive meaning that is unrelated to the usual meaning of the word. A holler is a remote, tightly winding space between mountains, and there is usually only one path in and out, making the holler an ideal location for clan privacy, family safety, moonshine stills and the marijuana farms that have replaced tobacco bases as the area’s primary cash crop. A holler usually contains a spring or creek, allowing families easy access to fresh water and transportation in and out. The sandstone and shale of many such creeks still bear the marks of the wagon wheels which travelled up and down them. Although the new Sag Hollow Golf Club outside Booneville has a sign spelling it that way, anyone who pronounces it “Hollow” is immediately identifying himself as a stranger and tourist, in the same way as one who pronounces New Orleans’ street names in proper French.
Some of my mother’s people are buried far back up into Sag Holler, and once during a visit, I drove in and then hiked up to their graves, seeing and hearing not a soul in any direction. By the time I returned home a mile or less away, word had already reached there that I had been seen among the headstones with a camera. Hollers to this day have vigilant unseen eyes and ears attuned to the arrival of any trespasser, and it isn’t too unlikely that those eyes and ears are still armed with squirrel rifles. Once adjudged by the holler dwellers to have good intentions, though, the same trespasser receives unsurpassed hospitality.
When an Eastern Kentuckian says, “in this country”, he isn’t speaking of the United States but rather of Eastern Kentucky, as in, “this is the driest summer we’ve had in this country for quite a spell”. If fact, this usage was so prevalent in Virginia and Kentucky, that in the 1850 U.S. census, many of the census takers filled genealogists with joy by writing the name of the county of birth under the heading of “Country”.
We say not “hey”, but “howdy” and instead of “y’all” we say “you fellers” or “you all”. (Contrary to films and television, in the South, the word “y’all” is never used to address only one person.)
A person’s occupation or profession is often expressed simply as, “Johnny made a lawyer”, meaning he grew up to become one.
If my grandmother Marcum lost or misplaced something, she would say, “Now, what went with my ______?”. If the lost item was never located, she would say, “Oh,well. It’s nobody’s life”.
We have historically called those who don’t live in the mountains “flatlanders”, and due to our predominantly Scots heritage we say “Daddy” rather than “Father” or “Papa.”, although “Pappy” sometimes occurs. The word “son” is often used by males to address other males who are no relation at all to the speaker and who may be of the same age. In much the same way an outsider might say, “man, it is hot outside” , one mountain man might say to another, “Son, let’s us go a’huntin’” or “Son, thur’s some mighty crazy folks a-runnin’ Warshinton, D.C.”.
Also due to the Scots, we still say “might could” (from “micht could”) and “kith and kin” and use the expression “he’s kin to them McIntoshes over thar in Sugar Camp”, or just as likely, “he’s a’kin to ‘em”. We still say “people of that ilk”, with “ilk” used in its old Anglo-Saxon meaning of “from a particular estate or family”, sometimes broadened to mean “type”. Many hill people still use an Old English form of the neuter third person pronoun, “hit” instead of “it” which at one time in English linguistic history was not only acceptable but correct. Many hill folk also aspirate an “h” sound in front of the word “ain’t” to form “hain’t ”, though the two aspirated words are not used adjacent to one another. “Hit ain’t” is used but not “hit hain’t”. “Hain’t” is normally used in the “hasn’t it” sense, as in “hit’s been rainen right smart lately, hain’t it?” (or “hadnit?”)
In Eastern Kentucky, the question “whose girl are you?” is not an inquiry into a possible romantic liaison, but a straightforward question about one’s genealogy. The correct response is along the lines of “I’m Junior and Chris Tye Marcum’s girl. His daddy was old Robert Harrison Marcum, married Ida Wadle from up on the Betty Bowman” (the Betty Bowman being the name of the creek on which her family resided). If there is sufficient time and interest, complete family connections of both speakers are revealed, along with whose relatives went to school with whose and which family members have recently died of what.
Sometimes there is an eerie quality to these inquiries. Once while I was buying gasoline at the Booneville filling station on a visit home, the attendant noticed my out of state license tag and asked in a friendly way what I was doing in town. Upon my reply that I was visiting my aunt, whom I did not name, he peered closely into my face and declared, “Why, yore Dorthy Helen’s girl !” He was correct, though he had never before seen me, and the subsequent discussion revealed our forebears’ relationships to one another and that he and my mother had graduated high school together.
As to romantic liaisons, the question of whether someone is dating a lot or dating seriously was put: “aire ye a’courtin’ heavy?” If a romantic relationship is broken off, it is said that “she quit him” or “he quit her”. (from Old French quiter - to release or abandon). A person with a crush is said to be “stuck on” someone. An illegitimate child is “born on the wrong side of the blanket”. A “shivaree or chivaree” is a quaint and no doubt under-appreciated custom in which friends of the bride and groom seek out the location of the couple’s wedding night and bang on pots and pans, sing bawdy songs, and otherwise make a ruckus in order to disrupt the newlyweds’ marital bliss. Now and then, a newly married groom was kidnapped for a while, so they say.
The vowels in standard English words “are”, “our”, “air”, “flour/flower” and “hour” are all pronounced the same way, midway between “air” and “er”. The final vowel sounds “a”, “ia”, and “day” are all pronounced as a short, unaccented “i”. Thus, the days of the week are pronounced Mundy, Toosdy, and so on. The names Linda, Cordia, Cora, Sarah and Cynthia are pronounced, Lindy, Cordy, Cory, Sary and Cinthy. The County seat of Owsley County is pronounced BOONEvul, and of Lee County, BATEivul. The county and town of Harlan, Kentucky is pronounced more like “Hoarlun” and “Hazard” is pronounced closer to “Haazzurd”. The words “tire”, “fire” and “wire” and all such rhyming words are pronounced identically to standard English “tar”, “far” and “war”, sometimes with confusing results. (A visitor to Booneville from Colorado overheard a local man tell a funny story about his wife having worked with him in the family business until things eventually got so bad that he fired her. The uncomprehending visitor was shocked to hear someone use what he thought was such “vulgar language” in a public place.)
As to bad language, we do have our share of the standard vulgar and blasphemous words, though traditionally, strong language was not used by ladies nor in their presence by any gentleman who was sober. The ordinary four letter words exist, of course, as well as their milder substitutes, but my gentle maternal grandmother’s strongest expression was “Lawsey Mercy” to avoid taking God’s name in vain by saying outright, “Lord have mercy”, and her word for feces was “shoo”, used as verb and noun alike. A strictly male expression rarely heard elsewhere is, “Hell Far !”, my Uncle Fred’s personal favorite.
“Bottom” certainly refers to a person’s posterior, but also to coveted river bottom land, formed when a river changes course and leaves rich flat farm land behind. Caution must be exercised , then, in the use of this word. “Old Campbell’s Bottom” is probably a cornfield.
(And “Campbell” is pronounced “Camel”)
On that note, the backside of an animal or person is called the “hind end”.
A nighttime trip to the outhouse, still called a privy by oldtimers, could be avoided by the use of a slop jar or “pot” kept under the bed for such occasions. Although fancy porcelain ones did exist, the more typical chamber pot was enameled metal, lidded, and had a wire handle with a wooden grip (which soon split and fell off).[15-A]
Kerosene, usually just called coal oil (pronounced cole ol) is pronounced “kurrosene”. It was sometimes used as a folk remedy for soaking a badly bruised or broken finger. and other injuries.
People still “reckon” in the Shakespearean sense of figuring something out, as in “I reckon hit might just rain tamorra” or, “I reckon the total is twenty pounds”..
The familiar second person subject pronoun “thou” and its object and possessive pronouns “thee and thy/thine” are used these days only in church, but in truly remote areas a modified form of “thou, thee and thy” might still sometimes be heard, pronounced “tha” and used in the place of all three singular familiar pronouns but without the corresponding verb form. “Tha better get thaself out of the woods before a copperhead bites tha”. However, the plural familiar “ye” form is more frequently heard in both singular and plural use, as in “all ye fellers” or “aire ye a’comin” to the sorghum boilin’?”
Another local peculiarity of Eastern Kentucky language is its strong tendency to contract compound verbs differently than in other dialects. Instead of, “he doesn’t have”, or even “he don’t have”, an Eastern Kentuckian is likely to say, “He’s not got”. Instead of “she’s already left”, we might say, “she’s done gone”. Also, instead of “I didn’t do it” we are likely to say , “I never done it” with the “never” used in the sense of a negative rather than a time frame.
Other contractions of British Isles origin are “young’un”, “big’un”, and “other’n”. “Ary” and “nary” are still used, particularly the latter, as in “nary a one” or “nary’un”. “Gooder’n ary angel” was used in my family but somewhat tongue in cheek, as “gooder” was not a word that we normally used.
An embittered woman with a bad attitude is said to have “a sour turn to’er”, perhaps as in spoiled milk or perhaps the expression comes from the face one makes when eating a lemon. Either way, it is descriptive. A man is said to have a “mean streak”, not a sour turn, and the outcome may be violent. A peculiar person of any kind was referred to in the hills as “quare”, having nothing to do with sexual orientation.
Milk that is just going bad is getting “blinky”. A person in a position of power is said to be “a’settin’ in the catbird seat”. A “fur piece” is not something that is worn, but a distance to be travelled, and the destination may be “yonder” (usually within sight) or “over yonder” (usually not). “Fanning around” is the act of wearing less clothing than the weather requires, and is presumed by mothers to cause pneumonia. (An old joke: “stop fanning around, Julia Ann, and get back in this house. You’re gonna catch your death of cold with nothin’ on you but that thin musician.”) And on that note, a person who is ill is “puny” or “doin’ porely”, which might cause him to “lay out of work”.
If someone is in a hurry or just lazy and does a task hastily or incompletely, he is said to have “hit it a lick and a promise”. The same person will probably say, “I’ll get ‘roun’ to it direckly”, which is hardly ever the case. Misbehaving children are warned that a parent is “getten ready to tan thur hides”, and misbehaving adults are warned that someone is “fixin’ to beat the tar out of ‘em”. If it takes a very long time to complete something, it might be remarked that “he like to never got hit done”, and on that subject, “like” is used for “lack”, as in, “he likes ten days of gettin’ hit done”.
It is not uncommon to hear a disheveled adult female described as “looking like a wild woman”, referring not to a busy nightlife but to someone who was raised in the woods by wolves, more or less..
A group of “no count” people is also called a “sorry bunch”, and someone or something that is messed up in some way is a “sorry sight to behold”. If the “sorry bunch” were discovered in the midst of mischief, it might be said that they “lit out a’runnin”, and if they were caught, someone might remark “they taken them to jail” instead of “took”. The past tense of “to hear” is often “heered”, as in “I heered he got hisself shot”. In some quarters, and in many traditional ballads, the past tense of “fight” is “fit” and ‘afraid” is “afeered”.
“Do you care for me setten here?” counter-intuitively means “Do you mind if I do sit here ?”
Music might be said to be “right loud”, someone’s “noggin” might be “knocked clean off”, and what others might call “pickets” on a fence would usually be called “palings”. The word “greasy” is pronounced as though it contained a “z”. Rather than “is they any ovah theyah?” as in some Southern dialects, an Eastern Kentuckian would ask “is thur any over thar”? It is common to hear double nouns as in “widder woman”, “hound dog”, and “pick-up truck”. Buying something without examining it first is called, “buyin’ a pig in a poke” (sack) and one could pay a “right smart price” for learning not to do it again. Of something or someone that isn’t found, it might be said that no one has seen “hide nor hair” of it or him.
Because it was the first soft drink to be introduced into the hills, “Co-cola” at least for a while became the generic term for all soft drinks in the same way “Xerox” became generic for all copiers. The question, “do you want a coke?” might be answered, “yes, I’ll take a Nehi or an Orange Crush”. Mountain Dew, of course, was one of many nicknames for moonshine or corn liquor or white lightning, but has now also come to indicate the brand of soft drink that is currently the preferred beverage in Appalachia. As to the traditional fiery “shine”, “well, take ye a swig from the jug and set ye a spell”.
Much as social “calling” was practiced in England, Sunday afternoons in Eastern Kentucky were reserved for visiting friends and family or being visited. Some families would stay home on the porch to receive friends one week and other families would stay home the next, catching up on gossip and news. Each visitor usually brought a “mess” of something from the garden and left with a “mess” of something else. (A mess is more or less the quantity a family would consume in one meal - beans or corn or June apples, or whatever there was to share).
Although large church or family gatherings for holidays, reunions and revivals (or funerals) were common, ordinarily, each family ate at home (there were no restaurants as such) and visited or was visited after Sunday “dinner”, which was often fried chicken served once a week after church. However, anyone who did show up during a meal would be pressed - practically forced - to join in eating it.
Of a person who was overweight or really enjoyed a good meal, it was said without the judgmental disapproval of today that he or she “shore did love to eat”. Sorghum molasses was just called “sorghum” and was the usual sweetener, both for cooking and most often mixed with butter before being put on a biscuit. Overuse of sorghum might lead to “sugar diebeetis”.
Of children playing on a hillside, someone might ask someone else, “‘em young’uns up’aire yourn?” a phrase that could be heard nowhere else in the world.
This author’s first name (Karen) was pronounced “Kyairn ” in the mountains of Kentucky, and that pronunciation still brings back sweet memories of home and happier, simpler times.
B. Superstitions. As in most cultures, superstitions passed down from generation to generation often survived logic and scientific progress.
In the mountains, midwives and healers may well have been the only help available, with survival having been credited to the healer and long remembered, and with death having been attributed to the will of God. In some cases, superstition and religion are intertwined and in others superstition is viewed as contrary to religion, even though it may be widely believed and practiced.
There are yet religious services, usually held in private homes to avoid governmental interference, in which speaking in tongues and the handling of venomous serpents is a small part. Historically, these services have been connected to rural charismatic churches such as the Holiness Movement Church of God with Signs Following. The belief that a person of faith can handle snakes with impunity is based on scriptures from the New Testament, such as this passage from Mark 16:17-18:
“And these signs shall follow them that believe: In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues. They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. “
Laws vary from state to state, but Kentucky law specifically mentions religious services and makes snake handling a misdemeanor punishable by a small fine. Deaths from snakebite are not frequent and are attributed to the will of God rather than the decedent’s lack of faith. In general, police do not interfere in the practice unless someone dies. and share the mainstream opinion that people who handle snakes, for religious purposes or not, should not be surprised to be bitten.
The line between superstition and religion can be a fine one, as in the case of our across-the-roadneighbor, Nell Turner of Milltown. Nell was a good woman and a staunch Baptist who brooked no compromise when it came to drinking, smoking, dancing and other forbidden sins. She also did not attend the motion pictures, but when the Charlton Heston movie The Ten Commandments came to town and was going to be shown at Seale’s theatre in Booneville, the Baptist preacher got up a group to attend the movie after church one Sunday. Nell was hesitant, but the preacher convinced her that since it was a religious movie, there could be no harm in it. When the church group exited the theatre after the matinée, coming from the dark theatre out into the bright sunlight, it took a few moments for vision to adjust, and Nell was heard to exclaim, “Oh Lawsey Mercy, I knew I shouldn’t go to the pictures! The Lord’s done struck me blind!”.
Once when there was a full moon, our family was called urgently to the screen door by an aunt to see something we would “probably never see again” - a cross over the moon. Of course this was due to light refracted by the screen, but even my relatively enlightened family took it as a sign of particular blessing.
Cousin James Paul Murray vividly recalls the time when he was a child and visited a local healer in hope of having a wart removed from the palm of his hand. (Traditional wisdom would say that the wart appeared because a frog had relieved itself there). The healer’s name was Lena Lightfoot, an old black woman who lived in Lower Creek in Lee County who was reputed to have “powers”. Lena gave James Paul a Zero candy bar to eat (which he has never been able to stomach since) while she rubbed a dishrag over the wart on the palm of his hand for a while and then buried the dishrag outside. Widespread superstition decrees that the dishrag must be stolen for this charm to work, and while no one would dare to make such an accusation against Lena, wherever her spirit may roam, the wart did in fact disappear.
It was common to require a penny to be paid to the giver when ownership of a knife was exchanged, because the outright gift of a knife would cause the friendship to be severed. Also, a knife placed under the bed during childbirth was thought to cut the pain.
It was commonly believed at least jokingly that sweeping under a young woman’s feet meant that she would never marry. A horseshoe over the door meant good luck, but had to be placed with the open section up so that the luck could not run out of it. Breaking a mirror meant seven years of bad luck, as it does in most places (I can still hear my mother only half joking, “Oh, no, another seven years!”) and a pinch of spilled salt had to be thrown over one’s left shoulder into the Devil’s eyes to avoid bad luck. Telling a dream before breakfast meant that it would not come true, and a sudden shiver meant that someone (or sometimes a rabbit) was walking over your future grave.
Finding a four-leafed clover was, of course, good luck, and so was a cricket in the house, but a bird, or worse, a bat, flying into the house, or an old stopped clock suddenly ticking, a dog howling at midnight, or an empty rocking chair rocking were all portents of imminent death for someone in the household. Killing a ladybug or cricket was believed to bring about disaster, too.
The legend of the banshee, based on Irish folklore, of a ghostly woman wailing or keening in the night as a harbinger of imminent death was mentioned in stories, if not given full credence, and it was sometimes said that the wind was “howling like a banshee”.
It is still believed by many that a house cat will suck the breath out of a baby if allowed in the room with it. Also, it is said that woodland creatures have no fear of a woman who is a witch.
An itching nose meant company was coming, an itchy palm meant money was coming, and carrying a buckeye in the pocket was considered to bring luck, especially in money matters, with a new one obtained each Fall.
It was seriously believed that a permanent wave would not “take” and curl hair if administered during a woman’s monthly period and that washing one’s hair during that time would cause a cold..
There were and still are many superstitions concerning the weather, with a particular emphasis on the thickness of a wooly-worm’s coat as a predictor of winter severity. (Beattyville, Kentucky celebrates the woolyworm with a festival every October.) It was believed that a sun shower meant that it would rain again the next day, and that the number of fogs in August (or October) would be the number of snows that winter.
Courting couples tied limber tree branches together in a lovers’ knot, which with time either grew together and bonded as one or fell apart, predicting the fate of the couple.
Somewhere between superstition and practical advice lies the legend of the panther, which before they were all driven out or killed, was the subject of many a frightening true or tall tale. There was a sighting of one in 2016 after they were thought to have been gone for many years from Kentucky mountains, and, tragically, the only thing the ranger could think of to do was to shoot it.
When plentiful in the Appalachians, panthers (the same species as pumas and mountain lions) were said to have come into cabins at night through the windows to steal infants from their cribs or to attack hunters who were bringing home their kills. Panther cries were said to have sounded exactly like a woman’s screams and a person who heard them in the woods at night was advised to remove and discard pieces of clothing at intervals while running to safety so that the big cat would stop to investigate the clothing instead of following its intended victim. This scenario was played out in the movie “Songcatcher”, and my much-loved aunt, Lena Marcum Long, said it was exactly the way she had heard it all her life.
Ghost stories abounded, of course, and one with at least some small basis in fact concerned the real French-Eversole War, a bloody clan feud which took place in Perry County in the 1880s and involved the Eversoles, who were allied with the plentiful Combses by marriage, against the French faction. Many real deaths by ambush occurred, including that of Nicholas Combs, the author’s third cousin twice removed, under circumstances similar to this tale: In his compilation of Kentucky ghost stories, Michael Paul Henson, though he either mistook or deliberately changed some of the dates and names, tells the following story: that when he and several companions were shot out of their saddles from the bushes, Josh Eversole played dead until his attackers had left, then tried to crawl to a creek for water. In his delirium late that night, his eldest sister, Marie,who lived hundreds of miles away, came to him and gave him water to drink, then told him she must leave him to go for help. Another sister, credited with second sight, awoke in the night and told her husband he must go to the gap and find Josh, as he and four other men had been shot and Josh would die if not found. She insisted that their sister Marie had just told her what had happened. The husband found Josh and brought him home for medical care, where Josh continued to insist that Marie had given him water as he lay by the creek. The following morning a telegram arrived from Marie’s husband, saying that at the exact moment she had appeared to comfort Josh, give him water, and notify their sister of his plight, Marie had been killed in a railway accident on her way to Perry County.
C. Ballads of Appalachia
Many books could be written (and many have been) about the preservation of songs and ballads
brought from “the old country” and preserved mostly intact in the isolated mountains. Before radio,there were hymns in church, but at home, folk ballads were passed down through generations,traditionally taught by mother to daughter in facing chairs, knee to knee. One shining example of ths was Jean Ruth Ritchie of Viper, Kentucky, born 1922, died 2015, who collected, preserved, and recorded hundreds of Irish, Scottish, and British folk song variants from her family and community,, some datng back before Shakespeare, often with a “moral to the story” added by the mountaineers. She sometimes accompanied herself on the traditional dulcimer, and her unique recordng - dozens of albums - are widely available and priceless in preserving our musical heritage.
Some of the better known ballads she has recorded for posterity are “False Sir John”, “Black is the Color of my True Love’s Hair”, “Cuckoo”, “Barbary Allen” , “Come All Ye Fair and Tender Ladies” “Shady Grove”, “Single Girl”, “Froggy Went a’Courtn’, “Peggy-O”, and too many others to name. Other better known popular artists went on to re-record their own versions of some of the ballads she preserved.
In our family, my grandmother Marcun mostly sang hymns around the house, but from time to time would sing “Single Girl” or other old songs, and at family gatherings we would sit on the front porch
and sing ballads - “Barbary Allen”, “Peggy-O”, Froggy Went a Courtin’” and a few others. Children would skip and play a game while singing “Way Down Yonder in the Paw Paw Patch” and of course “London Bridge is Falling Down”,. Sometimes we sang more recent songs like “ She’ll be Comiin’ Round the Mountain”.and the grammatically incorrect “If I Knew You Were”Coming, I’d Have Baked a Cake”
A neighbor woman, Lola Turner, often entertained us children in the 1950s with her renditions of “Knnckety-Knackety Now Now Now” and “There Was an Old Woman Who Swallowed a Fly”, so much a part of our happy childhood memories.
The old Appalchian ballads and songs preserve so much of our history and heritage that their loss would be the mountain people’s personal tragedy..
Chapter 17
The YDNA Project
A. What is Y DNA? There is an ever-increasing interest in the use of various types of DNA testing to affirm or rule out genetic relationships, and a proliferation of books and articles explaining them in great scientific depth, easily found online and in libraries. This is by no means one of those in-depth articles and this author would be abysmally unqualified to write one.
In simple terms, though, there are three main types of DNA testing in use at the writing of this book. Autosomal DNA testing can be done for either gender and is useful for determining ethnicity and close family relationships, but because it is reshuffled in each generation, the DNA mixture can quickly become diluted so that two individuals who are known to be related to each other may not have received the same combination of DNA and may not show up as a match. This is not to say that such tests cannot be very useful in locating previously unknown cousins, in confirming suspected relationships, or in finding birth parents of adopted children, but it is not always useful for finding relatives who were remote in time.
There are, however, two types of DNA which do not change with each generation, and which can even remain unchanged for hundreds of years. There is a tiny “SNP” of DNA carried only on the Y chromosome which is passed from biological father to son to son to son through many generations with only the occasional random mutation on its “alleles” or “markers”. A similar “SNP” of DNA is carried by women on the mitochondrial chromosome and this trait is passed unchanged from biological mother to daughter through the generations. Although both types of testing can be valuable, YDNA is more often used by genealogists in the United States because it follows down the direct male line in the same way that a family name usually does. Therefore, finding qualified males for YDNA testing is somewhat easier than finding females for MtDNA testing, especially as maiden names were so often lost to history when British Isles women married.
Nearly all of the testing done for this book and all of the testing done for the Pendergraft DNA Project discussed below has been YDNA testing, in which a tiny segment of DNA from the Y chromosome is examined and values assigned to the markers at that location on the segment. When such testing first became available in the 1990s, only 12 locations could be analyzed, then 25, then 37, then 67, now 111 markers for advanced testing, with more markers being added all the time. Each marker location is assigned an alpha-numerical title and then the number of alleles at that location is analyzed.
This author, in her simple-minded way, envisions the tiny SNP, or strand of DNA uncoiled and straightened out like a clothesline, with strings of ping-pong balls spaced along and hanging down from the line. Working from left to right, one string hanging down might contain 11 ping-pong balls, the next might contain 23, the following one 19, the next 10, and so on, for as many markers as are tested. If another man’s test shows exactly the same number of ping-pong balls on strings at exactly the same locations along the line as the first man’s, then that individual is a perfect match. Now and then, a ping-pong ball or two might fall off a string or two, or a ping-pong ball might get added to a string, and these occasional occurrences are called “mutations”. They happen randomly throughout time, and some marker locations (as well as some families) are more prone to mutation than others.
In general, a 37 marker test is a good beginning, and can usually rule a man in or out as a member of a particular family group, though the more markers there are to compare, the easier it is to pinpoint relationships, and certain unusual values at particular locations can pinpoint close relationships.
There was talk of exhuming at least one man (Thomas Jefferson) to obtain a YDNA sample for determining whether certain individuals were descended from him, but a much less cumbersome way of doing things, which was eventually done in that case, is to locate two living men who are believed to have descended from a common direct male ancestor and compare their results. For example, two brothers who descended on paper several generations downline from “Wake” John Pendergrass through his son Jesse, were tested on 25 markers (all that were available at the time) against men who according to paper documents descended several generations downline from “Wake” John Pendergrass through his youngest son, Moses. A solid YDNA match confirmed that the paper research was valid and the men were in fact related as far back as their common ancestor, “Wake” John. YDNA can also be helpful in placing a man whose ancestry is unknown into, or at least as related to, a particular group or family
Similarly, some researchers were convinced that the Orange County, North Carolina, Pendergrass men and the Sandy Creek men all sprang from the loins of a pair of Northumberland County, Virginia baby brothers, but YDNA testing shows that the two groups are genetically unrelated through the male line.
Autosomal DNA is different from YDNA and MtDNA in that it is inherited, at least in part, from both parents, from their autosomal chromosomes, which can be any of the numbered chromosomes. The DNA in autosomes is collectively known as atDNA, or more commonly, auDNA. There are two copies of each autosome (chromosomes numbered 1-22) in both females and males (plus one gender-determining pair.) Each person inherits one half of his or her parents’ autosomal DNA, and each of those parents has inherited one half of his or her parents’ DNA, so each person inherits roughly 25% of his or her DNA from grandparents. Since the inheritance is random, even siblings will not inherit precisely the same combination of DNA as each other, and since the inheritance from each ancestor is halved with each generation, genetic relationships, unlike YDNA and mtDNA, become more and more diffused over time. Two individuals who are certain they descend from the same ancestor may have little or no auDNA in common.
However, auDNA, currently the most commonly used test by genetic testing companies, can be very useful in determining more recent relationships, and is frequently used in tracing biological parents of adopted children and for locating previously unknown relatives, who can sometimes be the key to determining common ancestors, especially when combined with traditional documentary research.
Two examples of genetic surprises in this book were out-of-wedlock children of both Daniel Boone Carter Pendergrass and of his son George Washington Pendergrass, Senior. Since both these children were female, they would not have appeared through other types of testing.
In the first case, new cousins began appearing on a commercial DNA website who were such close matches to this author and her first cousins that they should have been known to the family, especially as such extensive research had been done to locate all descendants of great-great grandfather Cordy Pendergrass. The new cousins matched only on the paternal side, and the strength of the matches indicated that
their female ancestor must have had a child with a Pendergrass man of Cordy’s sons’ generation. The female ancestor’s death certificate listed her father as Charles Pendergrass but the only Charles in the area was born after she was. Still, this confirmed the auDNA match showing that her father had been some Pendergrass male. Daniel Boone Carter Pendergrass was the youngest male in his generation and his brothers had married and moved away, so he was the prime suspect. Traditional research showed that he and the very young woman, Malvina/Malvery Burns, lived only two doors from each other and that she left the county after the child was born, leaving their daughter for her parents to rear. Correspondence with her descendants led to a book written about her family which firmly identified the father as Dan Pendergrass. Although never mentioned in the Pendergrass family, the Burns family had known the story all along, and that the conception had taken place on a moving train to Virginia while Malvina was 16 and Dan B was 15 years of age.
The case of a child born out of wedlock to Dan B’s roguish son George, Sr, during the first of his three marriages, came as no real surprise to those who knew him, but was quite a shock to our new half first cousin, who suddenly found out that the grandparents he had known all his life were not his biological grandparents. Autosomal DNA testing showed without a doubt that his biological grandfather was a Pendergrass male of George Sr’s generation and George Sr was the only one who had travelled to the area where the conception occurred. Matches showed that the new half cousin was related to his “grandfather”, but only through his maternal side. Traditional research strongly indicates that when the child of George Sr was born, she was placed with her mother’s brother and his (unrelated) wife to be brought up as their own child - a secret never revealed to anyone until DNA testing uncovered it over one hundred years later.
Autosomal DNA testing was also used successfully, when combined with traditional research, to identify the biological parents of a baby who was left anonymously on a porch in the summer of 1930 and adopted into the Pendergrass family a few months later. A few close genetic matches were found online and their pedigrees compared until a distant pair of ancestors was located who was common to them all. A tedious tracking of all their descendants, combined with further testing and great dedication to skillful detective work by close genetic match, Jennifer Willhite Keel, eventually revealed the whole story of two Kentucky high school students who had a baby they could not keep.
Thus, especially when combined with documentary evidence, DNA testing can be a valuable tool in genealogical research. DNA does not cover up the truth, as families so often do.
B. How DNA Has Changed Genealogical Research
As soon as YDNA testing was commercially available to the public, the Pendergraft project was created by Mary Fern Vanpool (Souder) as “an attempt to link families who share a common ancestry and to test the hypothesis that the ancestral home of some of these branches was Ireland”. The study was originally limited to males of the Prendergast surname and its many variations and derivatives and at the writing of this book has tested about 200 men and classified many of them into genetically related groups.,
and some who match no one else who has tested. Over time, men with other surnames have been added.
It is impossible to reproduce in these pages the massive effort and ever-expanding results of Mary Fern Souder’s brave undertaking, which both opened new worlds to researchers and participants, and shattered long-held origin theories with a single swab.
Mary Fern, on her mother’s side of the family tree, is a direct descendant of revolutionary war veteran, Job Pendergrass/graft through his son Moses, and on a trip to Ireland in the fall of 2003 with her supportive husband, Wallace, she set out to locate and test Prendergast men from the southeastern part of County Mayo and the southern part of County Tipperary, where the largest numbers of that surname were clustered in lands known once to have belonged to Lord Maurice de Prendergast [see Chapter 1] and his descendants. With no other guidance than a family surname map, and completely at their own expense, Mary Fern and Wallace simply drove into villages in those areas and asked to be directed to any older Prendergasts in the area who might be interested in history. In each case, the families were welcoming and cooperative and the men willingly provided saliva samples for analysis.
One of the men in the YDNA study at least believed that he was able to trace his pedigree to one of the lineages presented in “The Prendergasts” and his results gave credence to the hypothesis that all of the men in Group 1 of the study are descendants of Lord Maurice or his close male relatives. Maurice himself is presumed to have been a direct descendant of the original Phillippe de Prenhirlegast, a Flemish mercenary who assisted William the Conqueror in the Norman invasion of 1066 and settled in Wales, from whence Maurice assisted Strongbow in his invasion of Ireland in 1169.
For a detailed discussion of the constantly changing testing results, the reader is directed to Mary Fern’s own wonderful websites and to the familytreedna.com Pendergraft YDNA project she founded, the latter of which displays the most recent testing results of the most recent participants but which for privacy reasons is password protected. Due to space limitatons, only a small sample chart is shown below.
Though she meticulously states that she does not vouch for anything that came before her own research on her ancestor Job, for the beginning colonial generations on her websites, Mary Fern relied somewhat on the flawed research of her fifth cousin Allen Pendergraft, who published a book in 1977 about the various Virginia and North Carolina Pendergrass groups, which he thought were all genetically related. While Mary Fern’s own genetic research and this author’s traditional research have discredited almost all of Mr. Pendergraft’s speculations about the generations prior to 1755, many websites have not yet been updated to reflect those early errors, so the reader is cautioned first to review those sections of this book which explain and correct Mr. Pendergraft’s conclusions. That being said, the breakdown of results and the pedigrees on Mary Fern’s webpages and the DNA project are priceless.
The three largest identified groups are men from County Mayo, Ireland, men from the Orange County, North Carolina (or “Job”) group, and men from the Sandy Creek, North Carolina (or “Wake” John) group). The first two groups are related to one another, but the third is not related to either of them.
Mary Fern tested known descendants of her own ancestor, Job, and his apparent brothers, which validated her premise that her Orange County “Job” group was closely related to the County Mayo Prendergast men, and that descendants of Job and “Chatham” John were closely related to one another. As discussed above, other men who matched the Orange County group were a descendant of Luke Prendergast who married in Baltimore, and a descendant of Phillip Pendergrass of Carlisle Pennsylvania.
This author never accepted the 1977 theory that the two Northumberland County, Virginia, baby brothers migrated to different counties of North Carolina forty years after their births. It made no sense for two brothers who had remained close for that long to have settled so far apart. Traditional research showed that once they were correctly sorted into two separate families, there were after all no documented transactions between the two groups, and that the 1977 book had illogically misplaced a “third” Orange County William as part of the Sandy Creek group, son of William and Mary, when his servuce record and land grant, as well as is sole heir’s marrage, clearly placed him as part of the Orange County group.
Local records in Granville/Bute showed no indication of anyone qualified to be a William, son of Bute County William and Mary, and the Thomas who married in Wake County turned out to have married into the Orange County group. Meanwhile, this author was forcefully challenged by a cousin to prove that she did not “have the wrong Moses”. The Pendergraft YDNA project offered the ideal solution.
First, since this author’s father passed away before YDNA testing was available, she recruited his brother (George Jr) and nephew (Dan), descendants of Dan B, to test in her place, as she has no YDNA of her own. Another paternal third cousin (Gene) who descends from this author’s great-great-grandfather, Cordy, through a different brother (Boren) also agreed to test. Those results showed that these three Pendergrass men had nearly identical YDNA profiles on 25 markers - all that could be tested at that time.
Traditional research showed that Cordy was the grandson of “Wake” John Pendergrass through his youngest son Moses, and that Moses’ older brother Jesse had lived out his life in the Sandy Creek, North Carolina, area, leaving numerous descendants there. This author emulated Mary Fern’s boldness by simply driving 13 hours to that crossroads (now called Vicksboro) and inquiring for adult male Pendergrasses, luckily encountering Floyd Pendergrass and his brother Joseph “Tom”. Floyd was generous, interested and informed about his family history and had a clear pedigree back to Jesse. His brother was tested as a safeguard in case of any discrepancy, but the two brothers were identical on all markers. Of 25 markers, Floyd and Tom were off only two from George and Dan, and only one from this author’s third cousin in Kentucky (Gene), showing without doubt that they all shared the common male ancestor, “Wake” John, and validating this author’s traditional research back to that point. [not the wrong Moses]
Although the Sandy Creek Pendergrass men have not yet found their British Isles match, within their own group they very strongly match one another. Fourteen men, as of this writing, have tested and been placed within Group 3 (North Carolina) of the Pendergraft YDNA Project.
In addition to descendants of “Wake” John through one brother or another who tested, “Wake” John himself had an apparent brother Spencer who had verified children born about the same time as “Wake” John’s children. Testing of two Spencer descendants, one through the project and one independent of it, showed that Spencer’s present day descendants had YDNA profiles virtually identical to those of “Wake” John present day descendants. as well as to “Buncombe” John descendants..
Robert A Pendergrast of Atlanta, who wrote the excellent book about his direct ancestor John Pendergrass who married Margaret Pownall, had long believed the family tradition that his John (called “Bob’s” John) was the original immigrant of his line, from “North of London”. However, after his book was published in 1980, Bob submitted a test kit to the Project at this author’s request and found that he was a close match to descendants of the older Pendergrass men in the Sandy Creek group within which his John had been living in the 1770s. Therefore, it is much likelier that Bob’s John was the son of one of those older men (William or “Wake” John?) than that he himself was the original immigrant of the line. The family had been in Sandy Creek since 1755, a which time “Bob’s’ John would have been only a child.
Much effort went into locating a descendant of the elusive “Buncombe” John, whose abrupt first appearance in an 1800 Buncombe, North Carolina census record, already married to a (probable) South Carolina-born girl, left totally open the question of his origins. Although his children bore eerily familiar names from the “Wake’ John family, and some researchers had placed him as a son of “Wake” John for that reason alone, there is no record evidence placing him near the Sandy Creek group at any time, but YDNA testing certainly did. A breathtaking test outcome showed that a “Buncombe” John descendant (Roy) was only one allele off out of 37 markers from “Wake” John and Spencer descendants.
This family’s haplogroup is R-M269. Few of the 14 tests in Group 3 (Sandy Creek) have been upgraded beyond 37 markers, but on 67 markers, a Wake John descendant (Dan) was only two markers off from a Bob’s John descendant (Russell), two off from a “Buncombe” John descendant (Roy), and three off from a Spencer descendant (S.L.) These close relationships validate the documentary research.
Despite small mutations, the Sandy Creek “Wake” John group now provably includes not only his own descendants through Jesse and Moses (and no doubt through Benjamin and Solomon if any had tested), but those of Spencer, “Bob’s” John and “Buncombe” John. as well. AuDNA results have further fortified these relationships, particularly “Buncombe” John descendants to “Wake” John descendants. As discussed in prior Chapters, the “Buncombe” John decendant’s YDNA was a closer match to “Wake” John descendants than was Bob Pendergrast, who descended from “Bob’s”John and Margaret Pownall. This, with the other circumstantial evidence strengthens the case that “Buncombe” John was son of “Wake” John and that “Bob’s” John was son of William of Bute or some unknown man in that family.
Apparently a surprise to everyone but this author was that the YDNA results of the Sandy Creek, “Wake” John group, when compared to those of the Orange County/”Job” group, unequivocally did not match. With 17 markers different out of 25, the two groups were not genetically related at least as far back as the early 1700s, and likely not then. There was no close relationship shown between the Sandy Creek group and any of the Irish Prendergast men who had tested for the project, and definitely none to the gentleman who believes himself to be a descendant of Lord Maurice. Among the many possible explanations for this are that men from the right area of Ireland, Scotland, England, or Wales have not yet been tested, that a male married into the family long ago and took the Pendergrass name or title from his wife’s family, that a servant or local man took the name of the family, castle or town, or that an ancient (1100s) or recent (1700s) non-paternity occurred in the form of an unfaithful wife, a Pendergrass woman who kept an illegitimate child and gave him the Pendergrass name, an adoption, or some other non-paternity event.
YDNA testing has of course not answered all researchers’ questions about Pendergrass paternity. Apparent brothers Job and John, sons of Orange County William Sr, closely match one another in tests of several descendants, validating traditional research about that relationship several times over, but Luke Prendergast, who married in Baltimore and did not arrive as an adult in Orange County until the 1770s, also was a close match to this family. According to Mary Fern’s research, he did, however, lack one distinctive marker found in Job descendants, indicating (especially given other circumstances),that they may have had a common ancestor more remote in tiime.
Because the historical fiction book based loosely on the real Garrett Pendergrass Sr’s trading post in Pennsylvania randomly assigned the pseudonyms Matthew, Mark, Luke and John to his sons, it has long been assumed that the real Luke who married in Baltimore and died in Orange County, North Carolina was iin fact his son. Additionally, because of his proximity to Garrett Sr in time and place, Phillip of Carlisle, Pennsylvania has also often been placed as Garrett Sr’s son.
In an effort to determine the validity of these assumptions, three men were tested who through traditional research appeared to descend directly from (1) Garrett Sr, from (2) Phillip of Carlsle, and from (3) Luke. The Phillip and Luke descendants essentially matched each other, matched the Orange County North Carolina, group, and matched men in County Mayo, Ireland. The Garrett descendant, although he had a solid paper trail, did not appear to match anyone in the Project, so either Phillip and Luke were not related to him and Garrett Sr, or there was a non-paternty event somewhere in Garrett Sr’s downline. Given that Garrett and some of his children were in northern Virginia, in the 1750s, it is always possible
that he intersected in some way with the Orange County Pendergrasses before their arrival in North Carolina. However, since Luke and Phillip were in the vicinity of Garrett Sr, and matched the Orange County Group and men in County Mayo, Ireland, but the Garrett descendant did not match any Pendergrass men at all, the likeliest explanation seems to be a non-paternity in Garrett’s downline. It is hoped that other Garrett Sr descendants will come forward to be tested in order to clarify the situation.
Other somewhat unexpected results were that a Pendergrass man (William) who based on traditional research believed himself to be a direct descendant of the Orange County Thomas who has varously been placed as a son of William Sr of Orange County, or of the “third” William whose sole heir Thomas married Milah Coulter and moved to Kentucky, did not match anyone else in the YDNA project database.His family tradition was that his ancestors had left the Mercer County Shaker Community in order to marry and have a family, something which was forbidden by the Shaker religion. However, his YDNA matches and his haplogroup I-M253 are of Scandinavian origin, suggestiing as one possibilty that someone in his earlier family was adopted into the Shakers and took the Pendergrass name, though there are certainly other explanations, including that the couple who left the Shaker community adopted a child.
A less surprising test result was that of a direct descendant (Darby) of Darby Pendergrass of Charlestown, South Caroliina, still living in the area, who did not match the Orange County, Sandy Creek, or County Mayo groups, but did have something of a match to other men in Ireland. Since Darby appears to have come directly to the South Caroliina coast straight from the old country without interacting with other Pendergrass families (except the slaves his family held who took the name when freed) this result validated the hypothesis that any match Darby might have had to them was remote in time.
A descendant of the John Pendergrass who married Hannah Grady/Gradon in Philadephhia in April 1788 did not match anyone else yet tested in the Project.
A direct male descendant of Richard Pendergrass (Jimmy) has not submitted his test markers but his ancestor Richard’s paternal haplotype was determined to be E-M2, which is predominently found in Sub-Saharan Africa. Since Richard was a free”mulatto” this raises the possibility, among many others, that he was the child of an African slave or free male and a free or indentured white/non-African woman, and though bound out because there was not a legal marriage, took the free status of his mother. Since it is his paternal upline whch is of African origin, this allays speculation that Richard himself, at least in his own generation, was the product of a forced union by a male slaveholder and a female slave of African origin.
No direct male descendant of famed singer Teddy Pendergrass has yet tested, and the downline of Nimrod Pendergrass of Iredell County appears to have daughtered out completely.
With many years and dollars expended in searching out and testing Pendergrass men of various family lines, thus is laid to rest forever the theory that the Orange County and Sandy Creek Pendergrasses sprang from the loins of the two Northumberland County, Virginia, baby brothers Robert and William.Evidence clearly shows that the two groups are genetically unrelated at least as far back as the early 1700s.
C. The Ongoing Quest
As time marches forward, more and better DNA testing (perhaps with more and better access to documentary evidence) will be available and more participants will test. It is hoped that future testing will solve some of the mysteries surrounding the Pendergrass families and that future generations will continue to explore their genetic relationships.
Of key importance is finding a traditionally documented direct male Garrett Sr descendant other than the one who recently tested (Robert) but who did not match anyone in the current database. Finding a male cousin or uncle through a different male downline could shed light on whether Garrett descendants truly do not match Phillip, Luke, and Orange County descendants or whether there was a non-paternity event somehere in this donor’s particular family upline.
If a different Garrett Sr descendant closely matches Phillip, Luke, and Orange County descendants, the idea that Garrett Sr interacted in some way with those familiies, perhaps in the 1750s when he was in Virginia, or even earlier, would be strengthened and should be closely investigated.
The same holds true for the descendant (William) of Thomas of Mercer County, Kentucky, who “should have” matched the Orange County group but did not.
Additionally, testing of descendants of David Sr of the Orange County group could confirm as his sons those who lived in Chester County, South Carolina, near his widow Susannah and as his grandchildren those who went with William L’s widow Dorothea/Dolly into Georgia.
Testing of a descendant of the Page County, Virginia, Vincent who married Mary Scarff could determine whether his geographic proximty ro Garrett Sr was coincidence or genetics, as well as contribute
knowledge about the status of the Garrett descendant (Robert) who tested.
If a proven descendant of “New Kent” County John and his Quaker brde Jane Pleasants could be located for testing,(or in any extant record, for that matter) it could lead to tying in some of the Virginia Pendergrass groups or ruling them out altogether.
Testing of a male descendant of the Spendergrasses of Richmond County, or Orange County, Virginia, could prove or disprove ths author’s origin theory that the “Wake” John Sandy Creek family descends from “Carpenter” John of Orange County, Virginia, and before that from James [Jr] and James [Sr] of Richmond County, North Farnham Parish, on the Northern Neck.,
YDNA testing could lead to the discovery of original immigrants into the colonies for these families, or at least confirm the relationship of the Sandy Creek group to some location in the British Isles, just as it has connected the Orange County, North Carolina group to men in County Mayo, Ireland.
In all these latter cases, diligent searches have been made to find appropriate test subjects by tradtional research, telephone calls, social media, tracing websites and journeys to the localities where they might have been found, but all such efforts have been futile. In fact, there seems to be no (S)pendergrass male remaining on the Northern Neck at all.
The tightknit genetic matches of the “Wake” John, Spencer, “Buncombe” John, and “Bob’s” John
families, (Spencer’s children having been documented in probate proceedings) may be expanded as more markers become available to researchers, allowing them to ascertain whether “Buncombe” John was in fact a son of “Wake” John and “Bob’s” John a son of William and Mary, or that there is some other explanation for the “Johns”. Suxh efforts are being made currently by Solomon descendan Bennet George.
Currently, since descendants of “Wake’ John, Spencer, “Buncombe” John, and “Bob’s” John (and William’s theoretical sons) are almost indistiguishable genetically, it is hoped that in the future documentary evidence will be unearthed that this author has, in over fifty years of research, been unable to find.(The Saint Mark’s Parish Register tragically having gone missing). The case for “Carpenter” John of Orange County, Virginia,as father of William, “Wake” John and Spencer is so circumstantially strong that only a word or two in Virginia or North Carolina could make the connection - any mention of Spencer in Orange County, Virginia, a note that “Carpenter” John could not be found there by the Sheriff for service, or that he had tools of the carpenter trade in his North Carolina possession - could tip the scale.Likewise, just a word or two could connect “Carpenter” John back to the Richmond County Spendergrasses.
Another mystery that might one day be solved with auDNA is the parentage of Hannah Unknown, wife/widow of “Wake” John. Was she the Hannah Deputy Pendergrass who testified in Northumberland Court? (There was a Deuty/Doughty family nearby in old Granville and in records on the Northern Neck.)
AuDNA might also one day lead to the discovery of the true family identities of many other women who lost their maiden names upon marrying.
It is fervently hoped that research on the Pendergrass/grast/graft families will continue to build.
Many thanks are due to Mary Fern VanPool Souder and to the many participants who were kind and generous enough to submit samples for testing.
Sadly, space permits the inclusion of only very small sections of the results chart . Please vsit the Pendergraft DNA Project online at FamilyTreeDNA.com.
