We've known for some time that this person had to exist.
Tonight, 23 March 2004, we feel we have enough evidence to start his page.

And on May Day 2007, Jan Thomas found another piece of the puzzle--item 13 below!

Here's what we think we know
--and we're growing more confident with each new discovery!--about
William Gwin, son of Isham, brother of John:
23.03--William Gwin; b. ca. 1790 in VA or TN; d. 1833 in AL; m. bef. 26 Jun 1813 (probably in Blount Co. or Sevier Co., TN), to Susanah Beard (b. ca. 1790; d. 1837 in AL); at least 11 children (list of 11 taken from 1830 census of Dallas Co., AL, below with either #11discovered (listed here as 4.08, because the birth order is uncertain within age groups in this census) or #12 discovered and added in May 2007--see Item 13 below);
24.01--(son) Gwin, b. betw. 1810 and 1815--age 15-20 [John Gwin Note: We know this is the oldest surviving child because he is the only one in his age group. ]

24.02--(daughter) Gwin, b. betw. 1815 and 1820--age 10-15  [John Gwin Note: We don't know the birth order of either of these girls, only that one is second and the other third.]  [Jan Thomas Note: Either could be Happuch Gwin Noblitt Prigmore, b. 1812 in AL.]
24.03--(daughter) Gwin, b. betw. 1815 and 1820--age 10-15  [John Gwin Note: We don't know the birth order of either of these girls, only that one is second and the other third.]  [Jan Thomas Note: Either could be Happuch Gwin Noblitt Prigmore, b. 1812 in AL.]

24.04--(son) Gwin, b. betw. 1820 and 1825--age 5-10  [John Gwin Note: We don't know the birth order of any of the four children listed as 4-7, only that each of them falls into this age group.]  [Jan Thomas Note: Any of the three girls could be Henrietta Gwin Aaikin, b. 1824 in AL.]
24.05--(daughter) Gwin, b. betw. 1820 and 1825--age 5-10  [John Gwin Note: We don't know the birth order of any of the four children listed as 4-7, only that each of them falls into this age group.]  [Jan Thomas Note: Any of the three girls could be Henrietta Gwin Aaikin, b. 1824 in AL.]
24.06--(daughter) Gwin, b. betw. 1820 and 1825--age 5-10  [John Gwin Note: We don't know the birth order of any of the four hhildren listed as 4-7, only that each of them falls into this age group.]  [Jan Thomas Note: Any of the three girls could be Henrietta Gwin Aaikin, b. 1824 in AL.]
24.07--(daughter) Gwin, b. betw. 1820 and 1825--age 5-10  [John Gwin Note: We don't know the birth order of any of the four children listed as 4-7, only that each of them falls into this age group.]  [Jan Thomas Note: Any of the three girls could be Henrietta Gwin Aaikin, b. 1824 in AL.]
24.08--(son) b. betw. 1825 and 1830--age 0-5 
[John Gwin Note: We don't know the birth order of any of the four children listed as 8-11, only that each of them falls into this age group--but see note for #12 below.] 

24.09--(daughter) Gwin, b. betw. 1825 and 1830--age 0-5 [John Gwin Note: We don't know the birth order of any of the four children listed as 8-11, only that each of them falls into this age group.] 

24.10--(daughter) Gwin, b. betw. 1825 and 1830--age 0-5 [John Gwin Note: We don't know the birth order of any of the four children listed as 8-11, only that each of them falls into this age group.] 

24.11--(daughter) Gwin, b. betw. 1825 and 1830--age 0-5 [John Gwin Note: We don't know the birth order of any of the four children listed as 8-11, only that each of them falls into this age group.] 

[24.12]--Thomas F. Gwin?, b. 1831 in Dallas County, AL  [John Gwin Note: We know that either the son listed as 4.08 above or this 12th child is Thomas F. Gwin, b. 1831 in Dallas Co., AL, a colonel in the CSA who married Mrs. Nancy (nee Holman) Reeves, a widow, and lived in Arkansas.  We're just not sure in which place he goes in the birth order. If he were born before the 1830 census, he is #4.08 above and the youngest of 11 children; if he were born after the 1830 census, he goes here, the youngest of twelve. Since he and his siblings were orphaned (and likely split up) before 1840, he probably had no memories at all of his father and probably very few of his mother, learning what he did from older siblings or from whomever it was who adopted him. Therefore, it could be that he did not know about ALL his siblings and only THOUGHT there were 11 children instead of 12 (in which case he is this 12th child); on the other hand, perhaps he DID know of all 11 and that there were only 11 (in which case he is the third son listed above as #4.08).]


Thirteen Pieces of Information We Have
on William Arranged Chronologically:
01. 1805--William Gwin is first mentioned in an 1805 Wears Cove Baptist Church record in Sevier County, TN, where he and his parents are granted a letter of dismissal (possibly to start as pastor at Tuckaleechee Cove in nearby Blount Co.). [If my theory regarding his date of birth is right, William is about 15 years old at this time and not yet married.]

[I have this data on another page and will transfer it here when I come across it again...]
02. 1808--Three years later he is named as a witness in his sister's and brother's-in-law land grant assignment. [If my theory is right, William is about 18 years old at this time.]

GWIN [JMGwin Note: We now believe this David Denton to be the husband of Elizabeth Gwin, one of the oldest daughters of Isham Gwin and older sister to John Gwin (the John who married Jane Walker). David and Elizabeth moved to Indiana with Isham; John and Jane moved to Dallas Co., Alabama, with his brother William (above-named witness to the property sale and brother-in-law to David Denton).]

03. June 1813--Jan B. Thomas' transcription shows him in the minutes of the Millers Cove Baptist Church, Blount County, Tennessee, as joining the church with his wife, Susanah. [If my theory is right, William is about 23 years old at this time.]

We know that John and Jane Walker Gwin, who (I'm all but certain) is the brother of this William, will move there very soon, as their son Isom will be born there 17 Mar 1817. So do they travel there together, leaving Blount Co. on or after 7 Oct 1815? I'm betting that's what we'll find out soon...]

Dallas Co., AL, in which this same 
William Gwin purchases some of 
her possessions (see number 6 below).

05. 12 Jan 1819--Marilyn Davis Hahn's 1981 book, Old Cahaba Land Office Records and Military Warrants, 1817-1853, reports that a William Given (whom we believe to be this William Gwin) purchases land in Dallas Co., AL, Township 15, Range 7, eight days before a Person Davis (whom we believe to be the Gwins' scribe in Item 4 above) purchases land there in T16, R8. By comparing the date above and the date in Item 4 above (col. 2), one might say that the two Person Davises could not be the same; however, we know that some people made land purchases from afar (by mail? by proxy?), and this could certainly have been the case with Person Davis. [If my theory is right, William is about 29 years old at this time.]

06. 10 Apr 1819--Hahn again reports that a William Gwin (whom we believe to be this William Gwin) purchases land in Dallas Co., AL, Township 14, Range 9. [If my theory is right, William is about 29 years old at this time.]


07. 1820--Next he appears in the 1820 census of Dallas Co., Alabama with a wife and seven children--two sons and five daughters. [For reference purposes, I've listed John Gwin's data as well.] [If my theory is right, William is about 30 years old at this time.]

[If my theory is right, William is about 32 years old at this time.]

William Gwin/Guin 1820 Dallas AL
Posted by: Jan Thomas

Date: February 12, 2001...179 of 432

Interested in anybody who has information on William Guin who was on the 1820 Dallas Co. AL census. I think he married one of my Beard/Baird/Biard girls probably in Blount Co. TN around 1800+/-. He is listed as receiving an equal portion of my ggggg-grandmother's estate in Dallas Co. AL in 1822 and appears to be present at the sale of her belongings. Two Gwin girls were said to be cousins to our Biards, one being Henrietta Gwin who married John B. (Jack) Aiken, and the other was Kerrenhappuch Gwin who may have first married a Noblett and then married Robert Prigmore (Pridmore). These two girls married in Limestone Co. AL where some of my Biards lived. I have been wondering if William Gwin might be related to Isham (Isom) Gwin and/or John Gwin who may have also passed thru Blount Co. TN and Dallas Co. AL around the same time period. Any help with this William Gwin would be appreciated. Where did he go after the 1820 census. I notice a younger William Gwin there by the 1850 census.
http://www.zianet.com/jmcdgwin/gwinEliasRBckmTWthrfrd.htm1822 Probate, Kerranhappuch Beard/Baird
Posted by: Jan Thomas Date: June 28, 2000 at 21:00:09
   of 574 Go

Below is my transcription of the probate records of Kerranhappuch Beard, wife of Henry Beard/Baird/Biard who seems to have traveled from Buckingham Co. VA to Halifax Co. VA to Blount Co. TN and finally passing away in the Dallas Co. AL area. Some of the heirs listed confirm much of Maud Baird Smith's guesses in The Baird Family book printed in 1928 and again in 1954.

I believe "Happy" Beard was probably born around 1750 and is actually married to Henry Beard/Baird/Biard the 2nd. The first Henry Beard/Baird signed a deed in Goochland Co. VA in 1738. "Happy Beard is thought to be my ggggg-grandmother.

John Beard b.1780 d.1839, George Beard b.1777 d.1825, and Archibald Beard d.1833 below lived in Limestone Co. AL in the 1820's and 1830's; prior to that John lived in Bledsoe Co. TN and Blount Co. TN. Welcome Beard b.1788 below lived in Blount Co. TN and then Monroe & Bradley Co. TN.

Thomas Morrison was married to Francis Beard b.1796? and lived in Blount & Monroe Co. TN; Aaron Waller (a Baptist preacher) seems to have married a Beard girl, and they lived in Blount and Monroe Co. TN.

William Gwin was probably the father of Henrietta Gwin who married John B. (Jack) Akin; Henrietta came to TX with her Biard cousins in 1846.

Person Davis has a wife named Mary on census records in AL; I would assume he is married to a Beard girl as he has a daughter named Kerenhappuch Davis, but his relationship is unidentified at this time.

Maud thought one of the Beard girls married a John Blair, but here on the probate records we see William Blair.

Welcome Beard seems to have some relation with the surname Humphreys in Monroe Co. TN, but otherwise the surname is unknown as are the rest of the surnames.

Maud believed there were three unknown daughters. There was also some question in her book regarding the Henry Beards. I assume this is Henry Beard her son on the probate record. I think most of her children would probably have been born between 1770 and 1800 in Buckingham Co. VA or Halifax Co. VA or Blount Co. TN.

So, it is with great pleasure that I share this with everyone, and hope that it leads to many new discoveries. A special thanks to Bruce Baird Sr. for discovering and passing on the tip which led to this discovery, and to Jim Everett for sharing his Beard/Waller notes with me from Blount Co. TN.

[My transcription of some of the words & the amounts are undoubtably wrong, but they are close. Person Davis above may be Parson Davis, but it is definitely an "e" in these records. Apparently my tabulation gets lost as this posts, so I hope it is understandable. --Jan Thomas]

[John M. Gwin Note: Bill Webb of Pensacola FL noted in my guest book that "Kerranpauch Nelson Beard is my 5th great-grandmother." We welcome you, Bill, and hope you'll send in anything on K.N. Beard that might throw more light on William. And I'll bet Jan Thomas would like to hear from you, too!]

[John M. Gwin Note: Today, 1 Aug 2006, Lisa Bartlett noted in my guest book that she was "doing research on Kerranpauch Nelson Beard and found this website. She was my gggggg-grandmother (6 greats). The info you had was really cool." We welcome you, too, Lisa! Let us hear from you from time to time, especially if you have more to add to the puzzle's solution.]

10. 1830--Eight years later he appears in the 1830 census of Dallas Co., Alabama with a wife and eleven children--three sons and eight daughters. [For reference purposes, I've again listed John's data as well.] [If my theory is right, William is about 40 years old at this time.]

*This William Gwinn, b. betw. 1790 and 1800, is very likely the older brother of my ggg-grandpa John Gwin.  The evidence (if not proof) of this is listed in the items of this chronology. Please see the table at the top of this page for a more detailed accounting of William's andSusannah's children.
11. 12 May 1831--Hahn again reports that a William Gwin purchases 80 acres of land in Dallas Co., AL, known as the west half of the southwest quarter of section 8, Township 15, Range 10. [If my theory is right, William is about 41 years old at this time.] According to my map of Dallas County, his land is located on the west side of the Alabama River about a mile south of Cahawba. To get there from Cahawba, leave the park by the main gate on County Rt. 2. Take the first dirt road to the left due south. Follow this road about 1.5 miles to the Matthews Cemetery which you should see on the left side of the road. Walk across the road from the cemetery, then due south for about 200 yards.  You should be standing approximately in the center of the northern boundary of his land. Those 80 acres were in a rectangle a quarter mile wide east to west and a half mile long north to south.
12. 16 Oct 1850--Cousin Mike Walker found a William Gwin (whom we believe POSSIBLY, MAYBE, SPECULATIVELY, IN THEORY, COULD be the son of our William and Susanna) in the 1850 census of Macoupin Co., Illinois.  [John M. Gwin Note: A photo of the 1850 census page where Cousin Mike Walker found this William is located several clicks below. Mike suggests (and I concur) that the William on line 37 could be the firstborn son of William and Susanna for at least the following six reasons:

(1) his age, 38, is right, according to the above-referenced 1830 census;
(2) his name is right (e.g., to be a "William, Jr.");
(3) his state of birth, Tennessee, is right;
(4) his current place of residence would make sense if, for example, he had decided to "agree with Grandpa Isham and move north to avoid his dad's (and uncle John's) attraction to slavery;
(5) his children's places of birth all fit; and
(6) we still don't yet know if Darlene Almer's information is correct (i.e., that this William came from North Carolina and is the son of Elias Gwin, which data, she told me on 20 Jan 2007, was given to her by the Weatherford family).  Of course, if the Weatherfords are right, then Mike's theory is moot, and we're back to square one in the search for this son of of William and Susanna Gwin. But Darlene wasn't sure there was any hard documentation for this William being Elias' son, so the theory still stands while she investigates her material further.

There are indeed, however, at least three items that seem to support Darlene's information:

(1) the Weatherford family must have some good reasons for their claims and should get the benefit of the doubt;
(2) the name of William's and Jane's son is Elias, making him named for his grandfather; and
(3) the presence of the George Gwin family two doors away from this William; that close proximity suggests that George and William are related, yet we have no idea who these people are; their places of birth don't fit our theory; they fit nowhere in our William's family but clearly could fit Darlene's.

Nevertheless, Mike's theory seems plausible to me, and I think we should continue to pursue it.  Meanwhile, I have transcribed the GWIN entries on the following page from that
16 Oct 1850 U.S. Census of Macoupin Co., IL,
to allow web searchers to find these names.  Please forgive the following strikethrough lines and underlines; I put them there in error and am still trying to figure out how to delete them.]

George L. Gwin 8 1842 m . . Ind . .
7/7 William Gwin 38 1812 m farmer 620 Ten CNROW This is the William Gwin (Jr.--if Mike's right) whom Mike Walker has theorized could be the son of William and Susanna Gwin (and grandson of Isham and Mary C. Gwin) as explained above. His estimated year of birth, 1812, is the same year John Gwin and Jane Walker married and the year before our William and Susanna (theoretical parents to this William) joined the Miller's Cove Baptist Church (see item #3 above).

Jane M. Gwin 37 1813 f . . NC CNROW Jane evidently married William in the early 1830's, no doubt in Alabama (as per her children's POB). If Rebecca is their firstborn, Jane would've been about 20 when Rebecca was born and therefore about 19 when she and William married (ca. 1832).

Rebecca L. Gwin 17 1833 f . . Ala ASWTY That this daughter is born in Alabama lends further credence to Mike's theory, since William and Susanna are in Alabama for the 1820 and 1820 censuses.
The "Other" data is "Attended School Within The Year."

James H. Gwin 13 1837 m . . Ill ASWTY That he is born in Illinois means--if Mike's theory is correct--that William and Jane moved their family north to Illinois between 1833 and 1837. The following is no doubt he in the 1880 census, the only questionable item being his mother's POB:

Redfield Herald -- November 1906 - February 1907

The Redfield Herald of Bourbon County, KS, was a weekly newspaper. The first issue, dated April 8, 1905, was published on Saturdays, with W. E. Stockmyer [referred to as Edd], as Editor. In October 1905, when Mr. and Mrs. Stockmyer left Kansas for New Mexico, publication changed from Saturdays to Fridays and J. Frank Pool replaced Mr. Stockmyer as Editor. At that point, the paper was considerably expanded; in addition to community news, coverage also included courthouse news and property transfers/deeds. Another editorial change occurred in October 1906 when Mr. Pool retired and Harry E. Luman became Editor. These extracts have been copied as accurately as possible, but errors may still occur. Minor printing errors have been corrected, but otherwise the information is presented as it originally appeared. Please consult the individual reel to verify an item. I do not have any further information about these individuals or families. Contributed by Ellen Knowles Bisson (thebissons@worldnet.att.net)

Dec 28, 1906 -- pg. 2, col. 1
Died: Mrs. James Gwinn died at her home west of town and was buried Tuesday at the Large cemetery. She had a very severe attack of pneumonia fever. She leaves an aged husband, three boys and two girls - all married.


13. 1890--In his book, Southern Arkansas Biographical and Historical Memoirs, the unknown author thereof lists Col. Thomas F. Gwinn, b. 1831 in Dallas Co., AL, as the son of William and Susan Beard Gwinn, with his paternal grandfather being Isham Gwin. [John M. Gwin Note: Jan Thomas found this on Ancestry.com in May 2007. We're convinced this is our William's and Susana's (note her maiden name!) son. There are, however, four discrepancies of note: William and Susan are listed as natives of Alabama (not Tennessee); Isham's place of birth is listed as Ohio (not Virginia), with his place of death being Alabama (not Indiana); and William and Susan are said to have had only 11 children--3 sons and 8 daughters (not 12--4 sons and 8 daughters). Nevertheless, because Thomas was only two and six years of age, respectively, when his dad and mom died, there is a lot of room for error on Thomas' part, who almost certainly had to rely on at least second-hand and at best somewhat old (and evidently sometimes incorrect) information. My transcription of the text of this article follows.]

From "History of Arkansas" in Southern Arkansas Biographical and Historical Memoirs, 1890, p. 224
discovered (on Ancestry.com) and sent in by Jan Thomas in May 2007
(color and other emphasis by John Gwin--RED = confirming data; GREEN = disputed data--see above):

Col. Thomas F. Gwinn, farmer and notary public, Ben Lomond, Ark.  Of the many thoroughgoing and enterprising sons of toil now residing in Sevier County [AR], none are more deserving of mention than Col. Thomas F. Gwinn, who was born in Dallas County,  Ala., in 1831. His parents, William and Susan (Beard) Gwinn, were natives of Alabama, where they were married and spent their entire lives, the father dying in 1833 and mother in 1837. The father was a farmer, and also followed merchandising for many years. The paternal grandfather, Isham Gwinn, was born in the Buckeye State, and was of Irish descent.  He died in Alabama. The maternal grandfather, John Beard, a native of Tennessee and of English descent, also died in Alabama.

Col. Thomas F. Gwinn, the youngest of eleven children--three sons and eight daughters--, divided his time in early life between assisting on the farm and in attending the common schools, where he received a good practical education. He then attended college at Elton and Tuscaloosa, and afterward taught school for twenty years. He was also a merchant, and sold books, etc. In 1856 he went to Bossier Parish, La.,  spent two years there, and then went to Southwestern Arkansas, where he has lived in Lafayette, Hempstead, Little River, and Sevier Counties. 

In 1861 he joined Company E, Eleventh Arkansas Infantry, and spent the first year in Missouri and Kentucky. He was captured at Island No. 10, and spent about seven months in prison at Camp Douglas, Chicago, Ill.  After being released he served in the mounted infantry, and was judge advocate and postmaster of the regiment, operating in Louisiana and Mississippi.  He surrendered at Lewisville, Ark. 

In 1866 he was married in Little River County, to Mrs. Nancy Reeves, a native of Missouri, born in 1822, and the daughter of James and Rebecca Hohman [Holman], who were born respectively in Kentucky and Maryland.  In 1828 her parents came to Hempstead County, Ark, and from there moved to Sevier County, where they remained until 1843, and then moved to Paris, Tex.  There Mrs. Hohman [Holman] died in 1857, and Mr. Hohman [Holman] in 1876, at the age of ninety-six years.  He once represented Hempstead County in the Legislature.  By her first husband, R. V. R. Green, Mrs. Gwinn had one daughter, Catherine, who is the wife of B. F. Forney, an attorney at Hope. 

Since 1872, Col. Gwinn has lived in Sevier County, where he has a good farm of 160 acres near Ben Lomond.  In 1874 and 1875 he was superintendent of public instruction of Sevier County, and afterward held the position of justice of the peace for four years.  He was once special deputy of the Grange, and since 1887 he has been notary public.  In politics he is strictly Democratic, and his first presidential vote was cast for Franklin Pierce in 1852.  He has been a member of the A. G. & A. M. since 1861, but is now non-affiliating.  He has been a Royal Arch Mason since 1863, the Chapter being in Colunbia County.  Mrs. Gwinn is a member of the Presbyterian Church.




Jan also sent me this article she found in a Rootsweb search:

William T. Holman -- http://www.rootsweb.com/~arlittle/bios.html

The occupation which this gentleman now follows has received his attention the greater part of his life, and it is but truth to say that in it he is thoroughly posted and well informed, and his labors in that direction have contributed very materially to the reputation Little River County enjoys as a rich farming region. He was born in Madison Co., Mo., August 9, 1815, the second of ten children reared to maturity by James and Rebecca Tong Holman. The former was born in Kentucky in 1781 and departed this life in Texas in his ninety-eighth year. In early life he emigrated to Madison County, Mo., where he resided until 1821, when he moved to Hempstead County, Ark., and there made his home for two years, subsequently coming to Sevier County. He was among the earliest settlers of this county and took a prominent part in its affairs, representing it one term in the State Legislature. His first marriage was consummated in Kentucky, Miss Elizabeth McNeil becoming his wife, and they became the parents of two children. After her death he married Miss Rebecca Tong, a native of Maryland, who passed to her final home in Paris, Tex., about 1858. Of the ten children born to this last marriage, six are still living: Emily (widow of Henry K. Brown), William T., Nancy (wife of Thomas Guinn, a resident of Sevier County), Ira N. ( a resident of California), Daniel ( a resident of Sevier County, Ark.) and Susan (now the widow of Lewis M. Schrack, who makes her home in California). William T. Holman was nine years of age when his parents immigrated from Missouri, and he grew to manhood in what is now Sevier County, Ark., obtaining his education in the common schools. His marriage to Miss Mary Stewart of Hempstead County was consummated in 1841, and in 1848 she passed to her final home, and Henry B. Holman, now the Sheriff of Hempstead County, is the only survivor of two children born to this marriage. In 1849 Mr. Holman crossed the plains to California and was there engaged in mining and farming until 1856 when he came to this county, and here he has resided ever since. The same year as his arrival in this county, Miss Eliza Fuquay, a native of Hempstead County, Ark., and the daughter of Thomas W. and Delia (Brown) Fuquay, became his wife. Her father, a minister of the Presbyterian persuasion was of French extraction and claimed Kentucky as his birthplace. Early in life he moved to the Indian Territory, coming thence, in 1828, to Hempstead County, Ark., and later settling in Sevier County, same State, where he passed from life in 1859. His wife was Virginian by birth and died in September 1886 at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Holman, with whom she had spent her last days. To the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Holman have been born nine children--four sons and five daughters: Adelaide (wife of N. T. Richmond), James T., Mary J. (deceased), Edgar W., William L., Lucy, Frances, Lloyd C., and Elise. Mr. Holman has not spent his life in idleness as his fine farms lying three miles northwest of Rocky Comfort and about one and one-half miles from Indian Territory will show, and he devotes his attention to cultivating 250 acres of the 720 acres which this tract contains. During the late war he raised a company (in 1863) of which he was captain and served as such until the surrender. In 1868 he was chosen Representative of Sevier County and served as such very creditably for two years during which time Little River County was formed from a portion of Sevier and Hempstead Counties. His first presidential vote was cast for Grover Cleveland. Mrs. Holman is a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church.

 First of all, if you're using Ancestry.com to find these folks, be aware that they mistranscribe the last name as "Beamore", for Pete's sake. 

Jan Thomas sent me all the following information:
Robert Kyle Prigmore, b. 1808 in Limestone Co., AL, was the first white child born in [what would become] that state; he died in 1864 in either TN or Bossier Parish, LA; m1. on 7 Jul 1836 to Alice Jane Maples (b. 6 Feb 1814 in McMinn Co., TN; d. 15 Dec 1839 in TN); two ch.: Wm. Maples Prigmore (b. 1837 in Limestone Co., AL) and Alice Elizabeth Prigmore (b. 1839 in Limestone Co., AL; d. 1933; m. Mr. Sugg);
RKP m2. 29 Oct 1842 to Karenhappuch (nee Gwin) Noblett (b. 1802 in TN; d. 1866 in Limestone Co. AL)

Kesinhapeuch Predmore 38

TN
 This is said to be Karenhappuch Gwin [the widow Noblett] (b. 1802--sic--in TN; d. 1866 in Limestone Co. AL); she is no doubt named for her maternal grandmother, Karenhappuch Beard (see item 9 in the chronology above).
If this is indeed the oldest daughter of William and Susanna Beard Gwin--and I believe that she is--I have to agree with her age in this 1850 census which places her DOB at ca. 1812, not 1802, because we know that Wm. was still single in 1805 and (probably also in) 1808; the first we see of Susannah is in 1813 (see items 1-3 in the chronology above). Again, I have no reason to doubt any of this (except the 1802 DOB) and believe, with Jan, that this is one of William's and Susannah's kids.

 I have a strong feeling that this census taker erred, at least in the last two columns--perhaps he mistranscribed his own notes--we don't know. Nevertheless, we do know that Thomas F. Gwin was born in Alabama and that his wife Nancy, the widow Green (nee Hohman), was born in Missouri. It is also unimaginable that a school teacher's wife, much less the school teacher himself, would not be able to read or write! The listed occupation of school teacher, however, does concur with the above book article's information.

 Ancestry.com mistranscribed the surname as GUIRM, which is the reason why it was almost impossible to find the family using that program. (I did an Ancestry search of the entire county and found him that way.) Looking at the original document verifies that the last name was indeed recorded as GUINN.

The baby of the family, Thomas F.  Gwin was orphaned by the age of six (his dad, William, died when he was only 2). So it is very understandable that he had no first-hand knowledge of where his parents--much less his grandparents--were born. The facts are that his father, William Gwin, was born, raised, and married in Tennessee (possibly he was born in VA just prior to the move to TN), and his mother, Susan Beard, was at least married there and probably born and raised there as well. His paternal grandparents, Isham Gwin and Mary Canterbury, were both born, raised, and married in VA, moved to TN just before or just after William was born, and moved to IN where they finished their lives and are buried. The book article above states that Thomas believed his grandpa Isham was from OH, and that is likely what Thomas told this census taker as well, who may have mistaken his statement for his father's birthplace instead.

 The only new info about Thomas F. that we learn here is when he died--between 1900 and 1910. This agrees with the abovementioned tombstone (1902).

 I'm guessing that her first husband's name was Shaw and her second Porter, Augustus being her son by the former.

 I guess I still can't get used to a 26-year-old black man being called "boy". Sorry, Augustus. Hopefully, most of your descendants are faring somewhat better today.

John,
Lookin good! I haven't had the chance to do much geneology lately, but when I do one of my bizarre searches through google, I always wind up on one of your web pages. You are doing an excellent job. Did I send you the Millers Cove Baptist Church information on William Gwin? I'll attach it to the e-mail, and if I hadn't already sent it to you, I apologize. I published a book when I transcribed the church records. It seems that William Guinn and his wife Susanna joined church in Blount Co. in June 1813 and left Blount Co. (Sevier Co.?) Oct. 1815. Mary and Person Davis have no dates shown for being received or dismissed, although Person Davis was ordered to write some of the dismission letters. See the Index for the dates, and see the MILLERS COVE BAPTIST CHURCH.doc to see the actual reference. Thought you might want to add some of the Millers Cove info about William's whereabouts to your web site.

I noticed on one of your web pages that Archibald Beard joined the church in Sevier Co. Did you record anything further on him at that church? Or do you have access to those records? I would be interested in any Beard/Baird names that might also be in those records. If you don't have access to them, can you give me the location to see about an interlibrary loan?

MILLERS COVE BAPTIST CHURCH MINUTES,
WALLAND, BLOUNT CO., TN

Transcriber's notes:

 Although these church minutes reveal some personal detail about our ancestors' lives, they also provide a valuable tool in tracing our genealogical history. The dates for joining the Church, and the dates for letters of dismission are very useful in pinpointing our ancestors' migration, and in a few instances unknown spouses' first names may be revealed. This may be very useful to some families from the Blount Co., Tennessee, area since there are no census records for the time period 1812 to 1824.  There are more minutes books included on the Millers Cove Baptist Church of Christ microfilm, which cover the years 1824 well into the 1880's. I have included a second membership list from the second minutes book; however, I did not include the names in the index for this book. Please consult the original microfilm to resolve discrepancies.

My particular interest in these church records revolves around the Biard family, specifically Kerranhappuch Biard and her husband Henry Biard, and the related families of Waller, Davis, Morrison, Guin, and Blair.  Henry Beard, Baird, Biard, etc. . . . can be found in records as early as 1738 in the counties of Goochland, Albemarle, and Buckingham, Virginia. Henry Beard's first known children are Hardiman b.1734, Edmund b.1736, John b.1739, Judith b.1742, and Ann b.1747. In 1773 there are two Henry Bairds on the Buckingham County tithe lists, one being tithed as a dependant of the other along with dependants Archibald Baird and John Taylor. In 1774 there is only one Henry Baird on Buckingham county tithe lists, and the dependants are tithed separately. It is not known if the second Henry Baird mentioned is son to the first or grandson to the first. Henry #2 and Archibald were probably born between 1748 and 1752, and grandsons named Henrys could have been born around 1752 and later. The Hardimans are adjacent landowners to Henry Baird, and some of the Hardiman men married Taylor girls. It seems likely but not proven that we are related to these Hardimans and Taylors. In 1783/84 Henry Baird "of Buckingham" has land deeds in Halifax County, Virginia. By 1795 he sells all of his land in Halifax and his estate is mentioned on tax records.  Kerranhappuch is the wife of Henry Baird of Halifax county Virginia and her name is found on one of their deeds there, giving up her right to dower. To confuse matters, there are no taxed Henry Bairds in Buckingham from 1783 to 1795 and then a Henry Baird is taxed in Buckingham County, Virginia, in 1795 and forward. Henry and Hardiman Baird also have land in Clark County, Kentucky, being sold for taxes in 1798. Hardiman Baird died in Bath County, Kentucky, in the very early 1800's and left descendants there. Archibald Baird died in Buckingham County, Virginia, around 1809. By 1795/1800 we find most of Kerranhappuch Baird's family in Tennessee, in the counties of Sevier, Blount, Monroe, Polk, Bedford, and White. I am purposely being a little vague in order to not print anything that is untrue . . . but it is my assumption that the Henry Baird listed in these church minutes is not Kerranhappuch's husband, but her son and his wife Jenny, and that her husband had predeceased her, thus the existence of her probate records. I found her probate records in Dallas County, Alabama, and have included a copy at the end of this book, in hopes that it might lead to new discoveries.

Hey John,
Could this William Gwin be the missing first child of William and Susanah?
Yes, I think it's possible; this William is born ca. 1812, putting him in the correct range (1810-1815). If he is, then this opens up another place to look for William and Susannah as well--Illinois! -- John

Jeanne,
I was looking at the 1850 Macoupin Co. census, where there is a Rebecca Gwin, b. 1833 in AL, but her parents are William Gwin b. 1812 in TN and Jane M. Gwin b 1813 in NC. Her younger brothers James H., Elias, and William F., and younger sister Tabby, were all b. in IL. Is this your Rebecca Gwin?

Hi, Mike;
I have a little GWIN info. One of Patton/Payton WALKER's sons, Manoah WALKER, b. Jan 1832 in IL, m. 5 Feb 1852 in Macon Co., IL, to Rebecca L. GWIN (b. Jan 1834 in AL. [I don't know why Alabama---her parents were William F. GWIN, b. in IL, and Jane M., nee unk., b. in NC]) I have more info on the GWINS and the names, etc., of Manoah & Rebecca's kids. Let me know what you're interested in. (I've also seen the Hopewell Church item. My WALKER's also intermarried with the LEMAY's. Genetta LEMAY was the sister of Martha WALKER. Their maiden name was HUDDLESTON.)

I saw your post in Rootsweb concerning Patton Walker. http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilmacoup/queries/query019.htm I have no idea whether I am related to him (most likely not, I think) but I have to check. I am also related to the Gwin family. They all lived in Martin and Orange Co's Indiana in the 1820-1860 or so time frame, and came there from Tennessee.

At Hopewell Church in Macoupin Co., IL, along with your relative Patton Walker, there is an early member named Gwin.  So I have to see if there is a line of my Walkers and Gwins in that timeframe and location.

What piqued my interest is this listing on  http://www.carthage.lib.il.us/community/churches/primbap/FamHist-Macoupin.html

HOPEWELL
Hopewell Church was organized August 6, 1831, at the home of Brother Joseph Hilyard, by the following six members, viz., Elder Pleasant Lemay, Genetta Lemay, Patton Walker, Martha Walker, John Allen and Joseph Hilyard. The presbytery consisted of Elders John Morris, Alexander Conlee and William Jones, and Brother David Gimblin. It was the first church in Gillespie township.

Elder Lemay was chosen pastor in September 1831, and continued in that office until his death in 1845. He was followed by Elders William F. Jerrell, David Gimblin, G. W. Jones, W. I. Dobbs, A. J. Witty, and J. A. Modlin.

Hopewell Church first joined the Illinois Association. In 1834, the church united with the Apple Creek Association. Hopewell Church was one of the churches dismissed from the Apple Creek Association, which organized the Concord Association in November 1838.

In April 1836, the church granted "a request from the Otter Fork to send our ministerial aid to assist in constituting them into a church, if found in order, on the last Saturday in April and first Sunday in May." In 1838, the church dismissed six members to organize Sugar Creek Church. In February 1852 the church sent ordained help to constitute brethren living on Cahokia into a church.

In May 1835, the church agreed to build a meeting house. In May 1851, the church appointed a committee of three "as a building or repairing committee, for to build or repair the meeting house." In April 1852, the church requested a deed to be obtained for the one acre of land on which the meeting house stands. No other mention of the site, or description of the meeting house, is given. The church was apparently located in Gillespie township, on Spanish Needle Prairie, and near the Wheeler Cemetery. A photo of the meeting house has not been found.

By her first husband, R. V. R. Green, Mrs. Gwinn had one daughter, Catherine, who is the wife of B. F. Forney, an attorney at Hope.  Since 1872, Col.

Hi John,
Haven't talked to you in a while.  I have still been wondering where William Gwinn's family went after he died. 

On the 1840 census there should be some Gwinn kids living with somebody. 

-----I found this female S. Gwinn in the 1840 Lauderdale Co. census with 4 kids.  Do you know who she is? 

-----I also found an Alabama Land Record dated 8/1/1849 for Susan Gewin at the Tuscaloosa Co. Land Office. 

-----On the 1840 Tuscaloosa Co. census there are Asa Guin and Holden Guin and some Gunns who could be Guins. 

-----On the Franklin Co., AL 1840 census there is a Poarson Guinn (could be Pearson or Person Guinn) who could be named after Person Davis; also there is a Wm. Guinn on that census. 

-----In Talladega Co., AL, 1840 census there is an Iversor R. Guinn.  That is where Person Davis's family moved.
 
-----This I think could be important. I think Thomas F. Gwinn, who was the son of William Gwinn and Susanna Beard of Dallas Co., AL, is on the Chickasaw Co., Mississippi, 1850 census, 17 years old, living in the house of James & Rebecca Baal.  Interestingly, just 3 houses above, is Samuel Goin, 35 yrs old, b.TN, with his wife Mary and 5 kids ages 11, 9, 7, 3, and 8/12, the 11 year old born in AL, the rest born in Miss., indicating a move around 1840 to Mississippi.  Listed in Samuel Goin's house at the very bottom is Catharine Goin, 14 yrs old, b. TX.  Now, I think it would be unusual to list their oldest daughter last--usually that would indicate a servant, boarder, or niece--and her birthplace is different from the rest.  (The households in between Samuel Goin and Thomas Goin are George Neely and John L. Laughlin, just in case those names mean anything to you.)
 
I don't know if there is any correlation to any of these people and our Guins; just wondering if you had already explored any of them.

Yes, that is interesting. That would explain why Will and Susanna are in Alabama in 1820 and 1830 but not in 1840. Of course, we now know that Will and Susan are both dead before 1840, but their kids wouldn't be, so Sanuel could indeed be one of them.

Subject: Thomas F. Gwinn cemetery record

Bill & John,
I'm not sure if this is our Thomas F. Gwinn tombstone inscription (see below), but it's close, and there aren't a lot of Thomas F. Gwinn's running around in Sevier Co. Arkansas that are in this age group, basically just him.  The death date of 1902 is about right because I have him on the 1900 census, but his widow is on the 1910 census.  It doesn't mention that he is a Col., but I still think it's a pretty close match. 

His birthdate seems to fluctuate on census records, so maybe somebody misread the year on the tombstone, maybe instead of 1822 it is 1827, but the census & the tombstone say April.  Maybe his wife wanted him to appear to be older than she was (you know that old robbing the cradle thing).  There might be some existing obituaries in 1902 that could shed some more light on who his relatives were. 

Also, the 80 acres that William Gwinn bought in Dallas Co. AL in 1831, was sold in 1832, so it is possible that they moved to another county in Alabama before he died in 1833.

 If you're going to look this up on Ancestry.com, you'll do best to use the misspelling shown--it'll take you right to it. And it was the census taker this time, not Ancestry's transcriber.

Subject: Re: Baird family Kentucky land records & notes

Penny, This is what I had on the KY land.  I think when it was sold, it was in Clark Co., KY.  Clark Co. was formed in 1792 from Bourbon and Fayette Co., KY.  Bourbon was formed in 1785 from Fayette.  Fayette was formed in 1780 from Kentucky Co. VA and the county seat was Lexington.  So if they got the land in 1782 it was probably in Fayette Co., KY which was just two years earlier known as Kentucky Co, Virginia and the county seat was Lexington.  That is probably the note about Lexington that you are remembering.  In 1795 Hardiman, Henry and Samuel Beard/Baird are on the Lincoln Co. KY census which was probably reconstructed from tax records. I've included the Buckingham & Halifx PPT's and tithes (below) in this e-mail to keep it all together.  Lastly, I copied an excel file I made trying to figure out who was how old and when.  You may find it not helpful or confusing.  It's a table with columns of the persons' initials and rows of their ages for each year finding their birth years based upon the year they began being tithed.  When I made it, I thought  maybe I could rule out which Henry (what generation) was where based upon their ages.  The column headings were HB0 that's Henry Baird generation 0.  HBw0 is Henry Baird's wife generation 0.  HdB1 would be Hardiman Baird 1st generation after Henry.  Then Hardiman's kids would be BB2 Baker Beard generation #2 after Henry, etc.  Then I can't really remember why I put a's and b's and c's, but I think it was because there were to many HB's and JB's, so I labeled them as a, b, or c to distinguish them and used them on their children's names as well.  Probably there's a better way to do this, but...  I'm not sure if I ever finished this list, and you may not find it helpful, but if I could incorporate where they were into the table, it makes a very good time line, and where the relatives were in comparison to one another, when they probably married, when they had to have been dead by, etc.

1764 Buckingham Co. Tithe List (White Tithes, Acres, #carriages)

Henry Beard and John Beard 2:400:0

Hardiman Beard 1:0:0

Henry and John and Hardiman are all born before 1743, but Hardiman has no kids showing born before 1743.

I’m assuming this is Henry Beard #1 b.<1714, son John Beard b.1739 & son Hardiman Beard b.1734.

Where is Edmund b.1736? This is not a complete tithe list, only the first few letters of the alphabet are in existance, so it’s possible he was living on somebody elses property, or that he had moved to another county. It’s interesting that Henry Baird #1 gave his son Edmund 400 acres in 1759 by Albemarle Co. deed records, and that is exactly the amount Henry and John are tithed for. It’s possible Edmund died and the land reverted back to his father, but it’s technically impossible for Henry and John to be Edmunds sons because they have to be born prior to 1743 and he was born 1736. Maybe he just never accepted the gift of the land or sold it back to his father, or died between 1761 and 1764.

1773 Buckingham Co. Tithe List (White Tithes)

Henry Baird (Archibald Baird, Henry Baird, John Taylor) 4

John Baird 1

Henry Baird "the father" is tithed for 2 of his +21 year old children and a helper or son in law. That would mean Henry Baird and Archibald Baird are born before 1752, but after 1743. Because there is a family bible in existance that contains Henry Baird #1’s childrens births through 1747 and they are not in it, I am going to assume that they are born after 1747 but before 1752, possibly by a 2nd wife.

Where was Hardiman in 1773? Could Henry be a nickname for Hardiman?

1774 Buckingham Co. Tithe List (White Tithes)

Archibald Baird 1

Hardeman Baird 1

Henry Baird 1

Archibald, Hardeman, and Henry all tithed on their own. I’m going to assume that this is Henry Baird #2 and that Henry Baird #1 may have died between 1773/1774 being about 60-70 years old. Archibald Hardeman and Henry do not have any children 21+ or born before 1753. Hardiman Baird is believed to have married in 1764 which would probably make us begin to see his 21+ children around 1785. Archibald is thought to have married around 1773, so we would expect to see his children begin to appear by 1794. If Henry is born 1747-52, we could begin to see his 21+ children by as early as 1788, but he appears to be in Halifax Co. VA at that time, so I don’t think we’ll see his kids here in Buckingham.

Where was John in 1774?

Buck Co. PPT & Land Tax, reel # 50, 51, & 64 (still need reel #52 and 65 for later dates)

Depending on the different tax collectors, their lists included slightly different headings or was left blank, so I’ve adjusted for that by adding (-). For example, some lists included slaves +16 years and total slaves, some lists included slaves –16 years and total slaves, so I’ve added all three headings and added a – if that field wasn’t on that list. If I forgot to write something down or couldn’t make it out I put a ?.

Archibald Beard 200 acres

Hardiman Beard 99 acres

Henry Beard 100 acres


In 1764 Henry Baird #1 had 400 acres, now we see possibly 3 sons with 399 acres, but have no deeds to verify how they acquired the land. It was not by Patent, Grant, or Survey which are in existance, so it must have been conveyed through burned deeds or probate records between 1761 and 1782.

John Baird disappears from Buckingham at the age of 43. If he was not a land owner and he died would he have had the word decd. or est. beside his PPT’s or would he just disappear from the PPT? The lack of these words may indicate that he moved, but where or who was he living with in 1782? This is two early to be John W. Baird b.~1768 son of Hardiman Baird, so it must be John Baird b.1739.

Hardeman Baird 1, 0, 0, -, 3, 11, 0

Henry Baird 1, 0, 0, -, 4, 7, 0

In 1783 Archibald, Hardeman, and Henry all live in Buckingham and none of them appear to have children born before 1762, assuming that James is a slave.

This is the last we see of Henry Baird in Buckingham for awhile, this would agree with a Henry Baird selling Cheathum Puckett 100 acres in 1783 and then leaving Buckingham Co. VA and going to Halifax Co. VA in 1783/1784. It could also agree with OLD KENTUCKY ENTRIES AND DEEDS FAYETTE CO. Deed book 3 pg. 152, 1/16/1784 a Henry Baird got 1092 ½ acres of land in Fayette Co. KY on the KY River. Also per Penni Luntsford notes, Warrant #11924.0 5/7/1782 1092.5 acres Henry Baird 1747.16 fraks/shillings. (Hardiman Baird Warrant #11925.0 5/7/1782 1273 acres, 2037 pound/shillings.) It might also agree with the British Mercantile Claims, concerning debts owed to the British Mercantile Co. for trade in 1783/84, Manchester Store noted that "Henry Baird Jr. removed to parts unknown in low circumstances." It doesn’t seem likely that it is Henry Baird #1 in KY because he hasn’t been on these records since 1773. It’s possible that the Henry and Hardiman Baird who got land in KY are Henry’s sons, and slightly possible that they could be Hardiman’s sons. See if there are any records for Kentucky Co. VA before 1780.

I was considering whether or not Cheathum Puckett might be a brother in law, buying Baird land before we moved, similar to what our Bairds did in Limestone Co. AL. Of the Pucketts of Buckingham from 1782-1794, besides Cheathum, there is only mentioned a Daniel Puckett who has a wife named Anne (Ami). Rather than my first thought, I now wonder if Anne Puckett might be Anne Baird b.1747, and Cheathum Puckett could be her son, brother in law, or father in law. I need to do a little investigating on this, to see if I can identify Anne Puckett.

By 1787 Hardiman has 2 sons 16 years or older, so both born 1767 to 1771. Let's assume he had twins who turned 21 in the latter half of 1787 = b.1766. In 1787 Henry Baird and Hardiman Baird sign a religious petition in Buckingham, so there appears to be a Henry Baird in Buckingham in 1787, and we know there was a Henry Baird in Halifax Co. in 1787. Could Hardiman's son actually be Henry Hardiman Baird, or could "Henry" be a nickname for Hardiman?

By 1788 Hardiman has at least 3 sons that are 21 years or older, Baker, Hardyman, and John W., so all 3 were born on/after 1765 but on/before 1767. So let’s just assume twin Baker b.~1766, twin Hardyman b.~1766, John W. b.~1767, or any combination thereof. I have no reason to think he had twins; I’m just trying to make the dates work.

Could he be John Beard b.1739, or could this be a record for our possibly John/Henry Beard Jr. This would agree with the 1795 "Estate" of Henry Baird in Halifax Co. VA.

In 1795 Hardiman Baird, Henry Baird, and Samuel Beard are included in the 1795 Lincoln Co. KY reconstructed census, due to tax records I suppose. Samuel Beard may/may not be related, his birth would be about 1774 which is too early to be Samuel Davis Baird. Archibald appears to have bought Hardimans land in 1795 so this would agree with their leaving for KY, but it looks like the Henry and Hardiman Baird that are in KY could be Hardimans sons.

This Edmond Baird is probably a son of Archibalds born 1774, and moved out at his 21st birthday, because we haven’t seen him on Hardimans list of children who appear not to have moved out when they turned of age. This is probably the Edmund Beard who married Elizabeth Adcock, d/o Edmund Adcock and Joannah Stinson. They are also related to Alexander Stinson one of our adjoining land owners. This Edmond Baird probably goes to Orange Co. with the Adcocks.

In 1796 we see a Henry Baird reappear in Buckingham, and in 1795 we saw Henry Baird sell all his land and disappear from Halifax. Is this Henry Baird #2 from Halifax coming back to Buckingham because Halifax records indicate he died 1795, or is this a son of Hardimans born in 1775 or earlier. This Henry Baird applies for & receives a land grant from Grant Book 32, pg. 96 & 97 dated 6/7/1794 for the 67 acres surveyed in 12/14/1762 for Henry Baird #1. Who was paying the tax for the 67 acres between 1762 and 1794? Why are they referring to it as a New Grant? Hardiman and possibly his son Henry Baird still appear to be living in Buckingham, but Archibald appears to own Hardimans land. So are Hardiman and Henry living on the 67 acres, and is there still a Henry in KY in 1796?

Here we see some more children come into the picture, Archibald must be the father of Pleasant Baird b.~1777, Hardiman obviously the father of Samuel Davis Baird b.~1777, but Hardiman's Bible records indicate that Samuel Davis Baird was born 4/12/1780 which would make him only 18 in this tithe list. I don’t know if the PPT’s specified an age limit for the Free Tithe; I’ll have to recheck that for several of the years where I didn’t denote it.

In 1798 in Clark Co. KY the land of Hardiman Baird and Henry Baird is being sold to pay back taxes.

In 1800 it looks like Hardeman should be taxed for 4 Free Tithes, but he is only taxed for 3, strange…It appears that he is being taxed for Hardeman, Davis and Baker? In 1800 Montgomery Co. KY census there is a George Beard 20-30, Samuel D. Beard 20-30 b.1780-1790, ? Beard 45+, b.<1755, and William Beard b.1784-1794. Now how can Samuil Davis Baird be both places or are these some new Bairds we haven’t seen before, more kids of Archibalds working Hardemans farm? Maybe Hardiman was tithed in KY.

Bartlett Burd/Bird, is this one of us? NOW LOOK – 2 Henry Bairds in 1804. One appears to have just appeared after Hardimans death, so probably his son. The other has been here for a little while on the 67 acres, could this be Henry Baird #2 returned from Halifax?, a grandson of Henry Baird #1’s from one of the other brothers, 1734 +20 +20 +20 = 1804 would be old enough to have great grandsons named Henry, OH Brother! Lets assume one is Hardimans son Henry Baird, the other one could be Henry as a nickname for Hardiman’s son Hardiman, or it could be Henry Baird #2 from Halifax who is supposed to be dead unless It was Henry Baird #1 who died there, or Henry #2’s son Henry #3, or Archibald could have a son named Henry. Now after 1804 we don’t see Henry Baird being taxed personal property taxes, but he still owns the land and is paying land taxes.

Henry Baird ESTATE, 0 male 21+, 0 male 16+, 1 blk 16-, 2 horses, James McCraw Jr. N. Dist.
(Why does this say estate? Back in Buckingham the patent for the 1762 survey is also applied for in 1794, is there any proof he’s alive after what mo/day/1794? Remember we see Henry Baird reappear in Buckingham in 1796 and also one in Washington/Blount Co. TN area in 1795 & 1797.)

HALIFAX COUNTY, VIRGINIA, DEED BOOK 16, 1793-1796 T.L.C. GENEALOGY, P.O. BOX 403369, MIAMI BEACH, FL 33140-1369, 800-858-8558, http://www.tlc-gen.com/staff@tlc-gen.com

6/24/1794 Pg.50 (Pg. 304) from Henry Baird of Halifax to Robert Weakley of Halifax, for 50#, about 150 acres in Halifax on both sides of Buckners Rd. and a branch of Bradley Creek and bounded by lines of sd. Robert Weakley, Samuel Weakley, William Steel, William Carr Sr. and  myself. Signed Henry Baird. Wit – Robert Lumpkin, Elisha (X his mark) Mcdowell, William (X his mark) Stel. Recorded 1/26/1795. (Halifax VA Deed Book 16, pg. 304)

(So we can see in 1794 Henry sold all his land here, and is not mentioned again as making a transaction, but there is some mention of "estate", so this could be a possible death of Henry #1 or #2. Also in 1794 in Buckingham we see the Henry Baird Patent finally applied for, for the 1762 survey of 67 acres. Henry definitely seemed to be tidying up his VA land transactions in 1794.)

12/13/1795 Pg. 102 (Pg. 613) from Robert Weakley Jr. of Halifax and Jane his wife to Fleman (Fleming) Hodges (Hoghes) and John Hodges for 45#, about 115 acres in Halifax, bounded by Samuel Weakley, William Cox Sr., William Steel, being the tract of land that Herny Beard formerly lived on and he conveyed it to said Weakley, signed Robert Weakley, Jane Weakley, Wit – Thomas Bush, William (X his mark) Steel, Elijah (X his mark) Tucker. Recorded 6/7/1796.

01/25/1796 Pg. 87 (Pg. 513) from James A. Glenn of Halifax, to Tandy Fitts of Halifax, for 50 f, about 400 acres in Halifax known by the name of the Shady Gen, lying on the drafts of Hico [River] and Mayo [Cr],, joining the lands of John Baird, John Walsh & Lipscomb Ragland. Signed – James A. Glenn. Wit – none. Recorded Jan 25, 1796.

06/15/1796 Pg. 98 (Pg. 583) from William Steel and Paulley (Polley), his wife, of Halifax, to Elijah Tucker of Halifax, for 50 f and for divers other good causes, about 50 acres in Halifax on a branch of Bradley Cr, and bounded by Robert Weakley Sr. and the land that formerly belonged to  Henry Baird (Beard). Signed – William (x his mark) Steel, Paulley (. her mark) steel. Wit – Thomas Bush, Saml Weakley, Robert Weakley Jr., Thomas Uland. Polley, wife of the [sd] Steel, relinquished her right of dower to the lands within mentioned. Recorded Jun 27, 1796.

{dower – means a widows share for life of her dead husbands property, but doesn’t mean that he is dead yet, just that she gave up her given right to keep the property.}

I hope this will help you with your research.

Subject: RE: Baird family research

Jan, How are you doing? It's been a long time since we were last in touch with each other. I took a long step back from genealogy for about 2 years. I just had to take a break and do something else for awhile, but if my recent e-mail activity is any indication, my sabbatical is over. <grin>
 
I've worked on things in a hit-and-miss fashion a bit, but have not really concentrated on any one line in particular. Right before taking a break, I had a tremendous breakthrough on my mother's father's line (Baird is my mother's mother's line) and while rewarding, it was pretty intense to add about 50 generations in less than 2 years . . . most all nicely documented. I loved connecting up to royalty, so much was already recorded for me. My brother (his royal stuffiness <grin>) was elated to finally "know" that he really did have the royal connections he just knew he had all along, but for me it was most exciting to find out that I'm connected to George Washington, Meriwether Lewis and Robert E. Lee. My "little old" 2nd great grandmother who we never thought to find anything about (we knew she had been married twice, but didn't know the order; had no birth or death info and census records couldn't agree other than that she was illiterate, and possibly "idiotic".) connected up to the Warner and Lewis families of pre-colonial Virginia. I about had a canary when I finally put it all together and figured out what I had. It was so awesome and I wish everyone could have an experience like that.
 
In the past week, I've received over 5 requests for info and help, most of them coming out of my KY ancestor's roots and the Baird clan specifically. As I've been out of touch and really haven't done anything recently in this line, I was just "looking for handouts" <giggle>. I did find a bit of info about the land that Hardiman and Henry bought in KY in 1782. The site for the Secretary of State, KY - Land Office  http://sos.ky.gov/land/ has some searchable land records and I found this info under the Virginia Treasury Warrants. Unfortunately, I cannot find where this land was located. I thought I had a note somewhere that this Hardiman's land (and Henry's) was in Lincoln County (one of the first 3), but I can't seem to locate that note now.
 
Warrant Number: 11925.0 - Harayman Baird
 1273 acres, purchased for 2037.00 Pounds.Shillings
Tuesday, May 07, 1782
NOTE: Same day, prior warrent number, Henry Baird purchased land
Warrant Number: 11924.0
Name(s): Henry Baird
Date: Tuesday, May 07, 1782
Authorized Patent(s): None
Acreage: 1092.5
Assignee: None
Current Money (Pounds.Shillings): £1747.16

If you have any thing that you can add that might help get me back on track, I'd sure appreciate it. One of the queries I received is a possible descendant of my Hardiman, and I'd love to be able to tie up all these Hardimans, Henrys, Archibalds, and Samuel Davis Baird into one nice family group (wouldn't we all??).
