1607	According to the book, "Scotch-Irish Migration to South Carolina, 1772 (Rev. William Martin and his five Shiploads of Settlers)" John Kirk's land grant of 100 acres is recorded in Platt Folder 1040; 11 Dec. 1772; in Colleton Co., on the northwest fork of Long Cane Creek; bordering John Tynes, Andrew McAlaster, John Hunt, as vacant land; surveyed 25 March 1773, probably in Abbeville County, S.C. The warrants for the land were prepared on Dec. 11, but not issued, and were held until the arrival of Rev. Martin. John Kirk declared himself a "poor Protestant" unable to pay the 5 pounds filing fee for the land. The land was thus, given free. Since the land was assigned to John on 11 Dec. 1772, he probably arrived on the ship, 'James and Mary' on October 22, 1772. Because of smallpox on board the ship, they had to lay in quarantine off Sullivan's Island for 6 weeks. This would put him ashore in the first week of December. His land warrant was assigned on 11 Dec. The December 1, 1772 issue of the Council Journal (Charleston) notes the arrival of immigrants from Ireland, and although no ship was mentioned, it was the James and Mary by all acounts. All other Irish immigrants having been accounted for at that time. The other ships arrived after Dec. 11: The Pennsylvania Farmer on Dec. 19 - Belfast; the Lord Dunluce (with Rev. Martin) on Dec. 20 - Larne; the Hopewell on Dec. 22 - Belfast; and the Free Mason on Dec. 22 - Newry. The James and Mary sailed from Larne on Aug. 25, 1772. John Kirk served in the American Revolution under General Thomas Sumter and was wounded. He and his wife, Eleanor Montgomery Kirk, moved from South Carolina to Rutherford County, Tennessee, around 1804, when he received a land grant for his military service. Some of Eleanaor's brothers, the Montgomerys, came with the Kirks. Source: Manuscript, Catherine Cameron Wilkenson Bryan, West Point, Miss in 1959; Mrs. John H. Bryan, 524 Catherine St. West Point MS 39773 Hugh Montgomery came to Lancaster District S.C. as early as 1757. Later by last will and testament, dated October 22, 1785, Hugh Montgomery bequeathed land to the following: JOHN, HUGH, JAMES, ROBERT, WILLIAM, ALEXANDER, SAMUEL, JOSEPH MONTGOMERY and son-in-law JOHN KIRK.

1611	According to the records of the U.S. National Homes for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers, 1866-1938, Thomas served in the Spanish-American War, enlisting 16 Jul 1898 as a private in Co. B of the 3rd Virginia Infantry, being discharged 5 Nov 1898. At the time of his admission he received a pension of $7.30 a month. His daughter, Ocie R. Beavers, was listed as his closest relative. His medical condition included dental disease, being blind in his right eye with an artificial eye, and defective vision in his left eye. Thomas was admitted 28 Aug 1930 and remained until his death 2 Apr 1931. He is buried at the cemetery of the National Home in Johnson City, TN. Is is possible that his physical needs were more than his 3 daughters could care for and their having to work as well. So admission to this home was a benefit for all, especially given that Thomas served, he never left the United States or fought in a battle. The Third Regiment of Infantry, Virginia Volunteers were mustered into service May, 1898 at Camp Lee [today Fort Lee in Petersburg, VA]. In June the regiment moved to Camp Alger [nears Falls Church, VA at Dunn Loring, VA] and remained there through September. This is where Thomas would have been during his enlistment. According to first hand sources from New York Times articles of Aug. 1898, during the existence of this camp the weather was exceedingly hot and some portion of the time very rainy, both of which conditions, with myriads of flies which infested the camp, were the causes of much discomfort to the men. On August 2nd the Third Virginia was transferred to the 2nd Brigade, 3rd Division, of the 2nd Army Corps, but with the peace accords being signed on August 12th, a large volunteer army wasn't needed. On September 7th the regiment was ordered to return to Richmond to make preparations to be mustered out of service. The regiment was engaged in the storing of arms, equipment, tents, etc. following which the men of the regiment were furloughed for thirty-days with orders to reassemble at the expiration of that time in Richmond. With the ending of the thirty-day furlough the men of the regiment reassembled in Richmond and were assigned to quarters in the Old Exchange and Ballard Hotels in the city, to conclude their service. On November 5th, 1898, the regiment was officially mustered out of United States service. So Thomas tasted military life and got to see eastern Virginia and live in Richmond hotels. 1910 United States Federal Census Maiden Spring, Tazewell, Virginia [The family lived next door to his wife's parents, Thomas C.

Sandford Adam Keeling & Seale Francis Sayer, Tho. Hodgis Inventory of Capt: Adam Keeling was dated 2 June 1683. Slaves are listed4 Jan 1683/4; account of cattle att that Plantation that was Mrs.Martins. "Sworn to by Mrs. Ann Richason als Keeling now ye wife of Jno: Richason Att Ye Nowe Dwelling House." The VA Genealogist, Vol 17, pg. 287. Adam Keeling, will 1683, m Ann Martin who m 2nd by 18 Dec 1683 John Richardson. "Gateway to the New World," by Turner. Thomas Keeling's will has never been found, but his son Adam's has. Adam Keeling's will was written in 1683. From it we have learned that his mother, Anne, married Robert Bray after Thoma s died, and that his wife,also Anne, had been Anne Martin, daughter of John Martin from whom he had bought 1,400 acres. He left those 1,400 acres to his son John, "provided John makes a deed to his brother Adam for 2,000 acres, the plantation know as 'London Bridge' where his mother now lives, after her death." His eldest son (don't think this is right), Thomas, was left 400 acres and 'the home plantation.' The Keelings had the habit of naming the eldest son after his grandfather, so it was Thomas to Adam, Adam to Thomas and Thomas to Adam for generations. The Keeling house, know as 'Ye Dudlies', on Great Neck Point, is a large two-story brick house and has many interesting features. The bricks are laid in the Flemish bond pattern, and there is an unusual design of blue headers in the north wall. There are cupboards on the inside of that wall on each side of the fireplace, and there is a small window in each. To the left of the eight-foot-wide hall there is another large room with a huge fireplace. That was the kitchen, dining hall and general family living room. In the 17th century, there was no outside kitchen building for summer cooking, and food was cooked over an open fire or in a pit.The two bedrooms upstairs seem inadequate for a man of Keeling's means with four children, but people were indifferent in those rough times as to where they slept, and in winter, the choice spot was near the kitchen fire. Children were bedded down three, four or more to a bed. From 'A history of Virginia Beach, Virginia In 1635 Captain Thoroughgood (he held a commission in the county militia) earned a land grant of 5,350 acres in colonial Virginia Beach for having persuaded 105 people to settle in Virginia. Interestingly, included in these 105 immigrants was Augustine Warner, progenitor of George Washington, and generations later Robert E. Lee. During the following year, 1636, Thourough good built a modest but substantial brick home for his family on the western branch of the Lynnhaven River. This house, still standing and fully restored, is believed to be the oldest surviving brick home in America. Thoroughgood died suddenly at the age of 36, but his character and ideals had been embedded in the land and people of Lynnhaven. During the ensuing years the Lynnhaven area began to flourish under the leadership of prominent families such as the Keeling, Cornicks, Woodhouses and Strattons. Because of the abundance of fish in the Chesapeake Bay area, seine hauling was one of the early profitable vocations taken up by the residents along the shores of the Lynnhaven. At this stage in history the only entrance into the Lynnhaven River from the Chesapeake Bay was by way of Little Creek and was reported to be a tedious journey of three miles. It did not take the fishermen long to realize that a shorter, faster route to the bay would greatly enhance the profits of those associated with the fishing industry. Adam Keeling, whose plantation, "Ye Dudlies," was situated right at the mouth of the Lynnhaven River, organized a group of people to work out a solution for this situation. At the mouth of the Lynnhaven there was a huge sandbar about a half-mile wide, separating the River and Bay. Keeling's group dug a trench across the sandbar wide enough to permit the passage of a canoe. Almost immediately after this feat was accomplished, a severe storm out of the northeast caused unusually high tides in the Chesapeake to rush through the ditch into the Lynnhaven River. The force of the tides enlarged the ditch to the size of an inlet, and today this inlet is known as the famous Lynnhaven Inlet. WITCHCRAFT IN VIRGINIA Lower Att a Court held the 15 January 1678/9, Norfolk Capt Wm Robinson, Mr Adam Keeling, Mr Henry Spratt, Justices Capt Anthony Lawson, "Upon the pett and Complaint of Jno Samon agt Alice the wife of Thomas Cartwrite Concerning the death of a Child of the sd Samons who It is Suposed was bewitched, It is orderd that the Shrife doe forthwth Summonds an able Jury of women to attend the Court to morrow and Serch the s+ Alice according to the derection of the Court.

1616	Adam, Catherine and their children followed her brother, Benjamin Whitaker to Illinois. In the Fall of 1835 they emigrated to Putnam County, Illinois where they remained until the fall of 1836. They stayed in this area until March 7, 1847, when they joined Benjamin and family and headed west on the Oregon Trail crossing the continent to Polk County, Oregon where Adam secured a farm and engaged in its operation. Mr. Fudge took a donation claim on the Territorial road between Salem and Corvallis consisting of 640 acres. Their trip west began by crossing the Missouri River at St. Jospeh and then proceeded by way of Platte River, Soda Springs, Green River, Snake River, the Barlow Toll Road through the Cascade Mountains, Grande Ronde Valley, across the Blue Mountains at the present site of Pendleton, and finally arrived in Polk County, Oregon. Adam Fudge is listed in the 1840 Putnam Co., Ill. Census [page 11] In March 1848 Adam went to California as a gold hunter, mining near Sutter's Mill. After saving about $1,500. He started home on a sailing vessel, and was twenty-two days in reaching the mouth of Columbia River. He died there on July 4, 1848 and was buried at Astoria.	FUDGE, Adam Jr. (I818)

1625	Adopted parents of Thomas Bailey Christian. Kennith Simpson is a direct descendant of Thomas, from an son born out of wedlock to Addison "Attie" Christian. Kennith has done considerable research on his ancestor, as well as extensive DNA studies. Here is a recent post on the Rootsweb Christian Forum on Thomas Mastin's relationship with Thomas. Posted: 12 Sep 2013 11:31AM GMT "Today I received a response from the Historical Society of Washington County, Virginia, pertaining to my inquiry on Thomas Mastin and the adoption of the orphans in 1777. The researcher did extensive research on my question and sent me a detailed finding. Her conclusion can be summed up in one sentence; I found no references in any of their sources for any such adoptions. I was sent some very good information with the response. 'Thomas Mastin Important Unknown of the Early Clinch River Settlement by Gordon Aronhime.' 'Extracts from the James T. Preston Papers, Washington County and the 150th Virginia Militia Regiment, edited by George Stevenson.' 'Members of the Historical Society of Washington County, Virginia, compiled by M. Margaret Hughes.' A quote from the first source,'Mastin's personal life was curiously similar to that of his friend, Daniel Smith, in that the record is one completely drained of the essential personality of the subject. Even the date of Mastin's death is a puzzle. He made a will on 6 October 1808 soon after his final months as Sheriff of Sumner County.' This document is also strangely unrevealing. There are no children mentioned, no descendants, only his 'beloved wife, Agnes,' maiden name unknown. There is no date of probate in the Sumner county records either. In his will he left his slaves and his furniture, stock of horses, cattle, sheep, and hogs to Agnes. Then comes the surprise. He leaves his 268 acre farm to 'My friend Daniel Smith and his heirs after the death of his wife.' I think that no matter what the relationship was between Mr. Mastin and the children, on his death bed he would have wanted to leave them something even if only a token inheritance or at least acknowledge them. All records appear to show that Daniel Smith and Thomas Mastin had a unique relationship. Thomas followed Daniel, Daniel did not follow Thomas. Other than Agnes, Daniel appears to have been the only close friend Thomas Mastin had. There is no evidence at all to suggest that there existed a strong relationship between Thomas Mastin and the orphans. An interesting fact is that another document sent me shows that in 1788 Thomas Mastin purchased 200 Acres of land from his old friend Daniel Smith, then he purchased 68 more acres where he lived the rest of his life. This is interesting because in his will he leaves 268 acres to his friend Daniel Smith. Also starting around 1796 Thomas Mastin begins selling off all of his land except the 268 acres. It is not known what he did with the proceeds but I find it interesting to note that he leaves Agnes property but no cash. One notation in the documents did confuse me because it refers to the adoption in 1777 of the children by Thomas Mastin but in the next sentence it states that he simply 'took in the orphans.' This came from the Annuals of Southwest Virginia. So could it have started with him just taking in the children and then over the years people just assumed that he adopted them. Also this part of the article gives the Indian names of the children and the names that they were given supposedly by Mr. Mastin. One of the children was called Sarah Mastin, of all the children she was the only one that got the name Mastin? I seriously question this entire matter. All records show that Mr. Mastin was a very close friend of Daniel Smith, yet none of the children were given Smith as a last name. Hezekiah Whitt and Mr. Christian were not close friends they were individuals Mr. Mastin only knew as a result of his military activities. Daniel Smith is the only person ever referred to as a close or dear friend, yet none of the children carried his name. I do not believe that Thomas Bailey Christian was blood related to either Chief Cornstalk or his son. I do not believe there was an adoption. I now believe that over the years oral tradition has left us with a mystery that simply can not be verified."	Family F7364
