James McClung was one of the Early Settlers of Augusta Co. VA.
He moved to the "Borden Grant" in Augusta (now Rockbridge) county, VA and settled on a farm on the east bank of South River, three miles east of Fairfield. He erected his home in a narrow glen between the river and the mountain and about midway between the Little Mary and Big Mary Creeks. The original house was burned but his neighbors assembled and built another for him and had it ready for occupancy within a week. This building, "Mary Glenn" is still standing.
James McClung was a soldier in the Revolutionary War, and for his services received grants of land in Kanawha County, VA (now WV) and in Kentucky.
James married Ann Gray and they had fourteen children. His will is on record in Lexington, VA.

James Striegel Tate's work was building buildings for contractors all over the country. He was particularly proud of the Republic National Bank Building in Dallas, TX and The City Hall in Boston, MA. After he retired he got involved in genealogy because of curiosity about his great grandfather.
He collected, analyzed and produced, approximately 2000 pages of his work. Upon his death the documents were donated to the Tennessee State Library in the hope they would benefit future genealogists. They are known as the James Striegel Tate Papers, 1742 - 1980. He was a contributor to the Ethel Updike book, Tate Families of the Southern States, Volume II, (this, while containing some errors, is considered by many as the definitive work for this line of Tates) as evidenced by the numerous letters between he and Mrs. Updike. His work is precise, detailed, organized and thorough. | TATE, James Striegel (I15591)

JAMES SKAGGS SR had settled sometime abt 1750 (likely earlier) in the neighborhood of Draper's Meadows. In 1751 he was buying additional land from Col. James Patton on Meadow Creek. [Kegley.]
Dale Van Every's "Forth to the Wilderness, The First American Frontier 1754-1774"
Van Every describes James Patton as a remarkable man. He had been an English sea captain who made many transatlantic crossings with shiploads of hopeful immigrants and redemptioners. At some point he took it into his mind to do more than transport settlers-- he would get a large tract of Virginia land and supervise the settlement of it himself. Governor Gooch granted him 120,000 acres of land beyond Virginia's then western frontier. By 1748 he had a station at the New River-- the first English settlement on the western slope of the Allegheny Divide.
James Patton died at the onset of the French and Indian War. According to Dale Van Every, "Draper's Meadows was overwhelmed by the first Indian attack of the French War to strike the Virginia frontier. On July 8, 1755, the day before Braddock's disaster on the far-off Monongahela, a Shawnee war party swept in upon the little settlement. James Patton himself was present, being engaged with the help of young William Preston in distributing a fresh supply of ammunition to the more outlying stations. He was then 63 but the old sea captain was as freshly vigorous as ever. He cut down two Indians with his broadsword before being borne down by numbers." His companion, William Preston, escaped-- and was Henry Skaggs' colonel during the Revolutionary War. Many others in the settlements were killed or captured, including Mary Ingles and her children.
During the War (1755- 1762), the Virginia frontier suffered both from repeated attacks and from the perpetual threat of attack. Many people fled, some southwards to the Carolinas, where the Cherokee and the Catawbas were (at that time) peaceful. In fact, the Virginia governor was pleading with the SC governor to send up troops of Cherokee and Catawba to fight the Shawnee. In a meeting in March 1756, the Cherokee agreed to go to Va to help IF, in return, the Governor of SC would erect an English fort to protect the Cherokee women and children while the warriors were away fighting. The SC Governor agreed, and several Virginians came down in the summer of 1756 to assist in the building of a fort.
It was in this period that at least two SKAGGS-- Charles and Aaron, and a possible third (William's father-- if he is not Aaron's son)-- ventured themselves down into the Carolinas. Were they-- perhaps at the prompting of the Mrs. Skaggses-- escaping the misery of the Virginia frontier? Did they move to SC to assist in building a fort for the Cherokee? We may never know their exact motivation. But we can agree that after mid -1755, the ambience of North and South Carolina was much more salubrious than Virginia's.
Sons of James and Rachel listed in the Pioneer Baptist Church Records of South-Central Kentucky and the Upper Cumberland of Tennessee 1799-1899 by C. P. Cawthorn & N. L. Warnell copyright 1985. Portions received from Brenda Harper 3-15-97.
"When the gospel was first sent to the Green River section of Kentucky, the land was wild and uncultivated. Alas! for the poor Baptists, death at the hands of lawless savage was an ever present chill on the hearts of the living, and who could tell whether it would continue to advance with the quiet of a blight, or vet burst upon them with the fury of a tempest?
"A great number of these first Baptists were among the 'Long Hunters' who came from the "Baptist Valley" area of SouthWest Virginia. These families were the forerunners of the 'foot-washing' [Primitive] Baptists which subsequently moved into Kentucky and established many of the Baptist Churches of the frontier land. Among the leaders was the Skaggs family consisting of Rev. James Skaggs and his brothers Henry, Richard, Jacob, Charles, Moses and William. These were the early 'Long Hunters' of 1761-1755 of which the Kentucky historians have recorded much about. Henry and Richard were particularly prominent. henry Skaggs was at the present site of Bowling Green, Kentucky in 1775. A brother Moses was killed by Indians on his second trip into Kentucky. Richard Skaggs had 3 sons named Shadrach, Mashack and Abendnego. It was Mashack who was killed by Indians on the creek named after him in present Monroe County, Kentucky.
"The men who lived on the frontier took protracted hunting trips into Kentucky, hence the name 'Long Hunters' later when Daniel Boone led a group of Yadkin farmers into Kentucky, they used a wilderness track referred to as the 'Skaggs Trace.' This track became a part of the Boone Trace and Wilderness Road that led the pioneers into Kentucky from Virginia.
"The first settlement of the Green River Baptists was in Green County in 1780, and was known as Skaggs station. It was established by Rev. James Skaggs and was the third station in what is now Green county, Kentucky. Glovers station having been established in the Fall of 1779 and Pitman's Station in March of 1780. In March of 1780, James Skaggs Station was broken up and burned by the Indians. Rev. James Skaggs daughter was killed and scalped."
SKAGGS FRONTIERSMAN
From 1658 to 1761 very little has been found about the migrations of the Various Skaggs families. However, near the end of that period records of their living in southwestern Virginia begin to appear. After 1761 they are found in the vanguard of the slow but steady stream of pioneers into Tennessee and Kentucky.
Robert L. Kincaid, in his book, The Wilderness Road, tells about the Long Hunters who pushed farther and farther west after 1761, traveling long distances in unexplored country for months at a time in their quest for pelts which could be sold or traded at home. In the meantime it was up to their wives and children to do the farming and gardening.
One of the early leaders in these hunting expeditions was a man by the name of Walden. On one of his first trips he was accompanied by his father-in-law, William Blevins, his brother-in-law, Jack Blevins, HENRY SKAGGS, Walter Newman, Charles Cox and about a dozen other trained woodsmen. The party spent about eighteen months on the trip and ranged as far as the vicinity of Cumberland Gap. The area was a hunter's paradise abounding in deer, buffalo, beaver, otter and mink and small game for their daily food supply. They brought home a large supply of pelts and hides.
In 1763, Walden and his party again went on a Long Hunt, passing through Cumberland Gap this time and going as far as the present town of Crab orchard, Kentucky. The news of their successful hunts soon spread and led others to venture on similar trips. In June, 1769, a party of hunters gathered at Fort Chiswell as the starting point for their hunt. Among the leaders was RICHARD SKAGGS. They went as far as present Nashville, Tennessee. In the following year, 1770, a large party passed through Cumberland Gap, ranging as far as Green River and the Barrens in Kentucky where many Skaggs later settled.
In May, 1769, Daniel Boone and his party followed the Wilderness Road through Cumberland Gap into Kentucky but at Hazel Patch turned northward to the site of Boonesborough which he would later establish as a settlement. By the year 1775 the branch of the Wilderness Road that pointed toward Louisville, Kentucky was known as the SKAGGS TRACE and was named for three Irish brothers, HENRY, CHARLES AND RICHARD SKAGGS. Long Hunters who had spent much time in the region according to Kincaid, page 113. There is also a stream known as SKAGGS CREEK.
During the Revolutionary War, the Indian allies of the British waged war against the Kentucky settlers. Beginning in 1777 the fighting was bitter bringing much loss of life and hardships to the people. Several Skaggs were in the war, at least three of them being killed. Virginia and Kentucky Skaggs in the war included JAMES, JOHN, RICHARD, WILLIAM, ARCHIBALD, HENRY, CHARLES, MOSES, JACOB, JORRE AND AARON [SKAGGS] and a few with the same names as some of the above. MOSES and AARON [SKAGGS] are said to have been killed and also a PETER SKAGGS. Several of them received pensions later according to the records.
The Draper Manuscripts include a statement that "A number of Skaggs brother came to Green County, Kentucky, most of them very early, long before any settlement, and then they became the earliest settlers. JAMES, HENRY, JOHN, CHARLES AND RICHARD SKAGGS left records in Green County, while MOSES AND AARON [SKAGGS] were said to have been killed there." Note: In 1798 Barren County was split off Green County.
The Skaggs brothers, sons of JAMES AND RACHEL SKAGGS are believed to have been HENRY, CHARLES, RICHARD, JAMES, JR., AARON, MOSES and possibly JOHN SKAGGS. Many of their descendants still live in Kentucky but as early as 1820 there were three Skaggs in Indiana and at least one is known definitely to be from Kentucky.
The name of James SKAGGS, believed to be the patriarch of the SKAGGS clan in southwest VA and west-central KY, first appears in the records in August 1746 when he and other local residents were appointed to build a new road from Adam HARMAN's to the North Branch of the Roanoke River. --Mary B. and F.B.

James was the "Patriarch" of the Castellaw family in America. He was the son of a Scottish Presbyterian minister. He entered the University of Glasgow in about 1703 at the age of 18. He graduated in 1707. It has been said that he was the fourth generation of Castellaw's to be educated there.
James emigrated to North Carolina by 1710. His name first appears in North Carolina records in 1718 when he witnessed the will of Henry Woodnot of Chowan Precinct on 29 Dec. 1718. But was not listed in the 1717 tax list nor in a list of freeholders in 1719.
In 1719, he obtained a warrant for 640 acres in Bertie Precinct. (Note: Bertie Co. was formed from Chowan Co. in 1722.) He served in 1719 as a juror in Chowan Precinct, North Carolina in the trial of Colonel Edward Moseley. He was on the Grand Jury in 1722 and 1724.
He was on the 1721 tax list for Chowan County, North Carolina. In 1721 he bought land on the Cashie River adjoining Colonel Pollock, Richard Fryer and Martin Gardner. July 14, 1721 James was a witness for the sale of 150 acres of land from Matthew Edwards to John Williams. James and Sarah bought 550 acres on the Kesiah River on February 21, 1723. There is a deed in the records at Windsor, NC, dated 1 Feb. 1723/24, to Thomas Williamson, in which he mentions "Sarah, wife of said James", and she gave dower. In 1727 James went into business with Henry Guston and James Milikin at the confluence of the Cashie and Roanoke Rivers.
Until his death in 1749, James Castellaw took an active interest in and assumed leadership for many business, social and political activities in Bertie County.
James Castellaw served as a Justice of the Peace for Bertie for many years and was a Commissioner for the county and was elected as Public Treasurer of Bertie in 1739.
He became a lawyer and a member of the Colonial General Assembly. He was elected as a member of the Colonial Assembly in the Lower House in 1726, and in the Upper House in 1731, and served for 14 years until 1745. He was the Treasurer of Bertie Precinct from 1735 until 1748. He was a jurist and witnessed many legal transactions in the County. In addition, he found time to serve as one of His Majesty's Justices" from 1739- 1746.
A very active man in Colonial politics, there are records of many Bills, Committees, and Acts attributed to him in the Colonial Records. He was instrumental in the placing of the public buildings at Cashy, and the actual construction of same. He started construction of the water mill that operated for nearly 200 years.
When the area was divided and a new Courthouse authorized, a group of landowners from the Cashy area led by Thomas Whitmel, James McDowall, and James Castellaw - all Court Justices - filed a petition with a later court held in February 1742 asking that the court house site selection should not be settled as previously. The controversy raged for over a year until Governor Gabriel John- son signed into law an act "That the Court House, Prison, and Stocks shall be built between Cashy Bridge and Will's Quarter Bridge, in the said County, and that all Court shall be there held for the said County." Much of the effort behind this act must be credited to James Castellaw, one of the first Treasurers of Bertie, and at this time, respected member of the General Assembly, and owner of the land on which the Court was to be placed.
The Act of the General Assembly charged the Justices of Bertie County to purchase one acre between said bridges; and thus, James Castellaw issued a deed to the Justices of Bertie County for one acre on the North side of Cashy and South side of Will's guar- ter "(Whereon the Prison, Court House and Stocks are to be built"
James McDowell and James Castellaw were awarded the contract for the public buildings, and on November 13, 1744, asked the Court for final inspection on the Prison. This was done; and after several changes, it was accepted by Bertie as the "Public Goal" of the County on Friday morning, February 15, 1745.
When James died in Bertie County, North Carolina in early 1749,his son Thomas was the administrator of his estate and made sales on December 20, 1749.
Hoggards Mill in Bertie Precinct, NC established in 1736 by James Castellaw, treasurer of Bertie and on whose land the mill, courthouse, jail, "whipping post and stocks" were located. Subsequently called Lockharts, Evans and finally purchased by William Hoggard circa 1800. His home still stands there. | CASTELLAW, John James (I7326)

Jane is the daughter of John Goolman Davidson. John Goolman Davidson was murdered by Indians at Rocky Gap, In Wythe Co. now Bland Co in March 8 1793.
Jane's brother, Andrew's family was taken captive by Indians. Rebecca Davidson's story is told in a chapter of a book entitled: Trans-Allegheny Pioneers, by John P. Hale, Ed. Harold J. Dudley, 3rd Ed. Published Roberta Ingles Steele, Radford, VA 24143, Pgs 137-139. According to this account the Indians captured Rebecca while thinking they were getting the one of the Harman's who had killed several of their kind. The Harman cabin was nearby.
Rebecca was pregnant and due any time. She gave birth on the grueling journey to the Indian village. The baby was tossed into the Tug River after he became ill and fussy. Rebecca's children, twin girls, a small boy and two bound children. The two girls were tied to the trees in the village and used for targets as sport. A little boy drowned in the river when an old squaw tried to take him across in a canoe. Two bound children were never again seen. Rebecca was found by Andrew after several trips in an attempt to locate her. He stopped at a farmhouse and was invited in for dinner. An old greyhaired woman was carrying in wood and recognized Andrew as her husband. Rebecca had been sold to the British. She was permitted to return with her husband. | Davidson, Jane (I8660)

John Bland was one of the earliest settlers of Martha's Vineyard, owning land here as early as 1646. He and his second wife Joanna (his first wife, Isabella, died before he came to the island) were prominent citizens of Edgartown back in the day. It is even believed that John Bland was with Thomas Mayhew in the shallop that first pulled into what is now Edgartown Great Harbor.
He frequently called himself John Smith, this even prior to arrival in New England. Probate records include the John Smith name.
Source: Genealogical Dict. of ME & NH
"John Bland,alias John Smith was living at Edgartown, on Martha's Vineyard, in 1646, undoubtedly the John Smith [in] association with the Mayhews in the first movement from Watertown to the Island, where he was always 'Bland'. In Watertown, lived his mother Adrian, 2nd wife of Jeremiah Norcross and there is a recorded "Isabel" wife of John Smith, born 12 July 1639, age 60. The Hampton Drakes testified that they knew his daughter Isabel Bland from childhood, that her father John Bland lived in Colchester, and that his ancestory was Bland, not Smith. Apparently his step-father was Smith. His will made 2 Nov. 1663 names wife, Joanna and "all the children that are alive that I owne"

John McClintock, Jr., a descendant of Emeline and Chapman Elswick, told me the family stories were a Thomas Gillespie was the father of Emeline's children. Thomas would travel over the mountain to visit "Red headed Emmie" at Liberty.
Until the death certificate of Thomas D. Chambers there was no proof of this. Thomas' death certificate is the only one of his three siblings born out of wedlock that give the name of Thomas Gillespie as the father. Alifair Chambers Christian's death certificate gave Chapman Elswick as her father, Elbert Wade Chambers had no names for his parents. For Alifair's descendants, her real father's name was not known, but evidently for the children of Emmeline and Chapman Elswick, the name was known but not talked about outside the family.
When Emeline married Chapman Elswick, she put her marital status as divorced. More than likely, Thomas Gillespie was a married man and was not free to marry Emeline.
Which Thomas Gillespie could be the father? One researcher has William Thomas Gillespie who was in his 60's during the time Emeline's children were conceived. I think a younger man is more likely since he was traveling over the mountain to Liberty on horseback. Here are the candidates from the Tazewell 1850 Census for Thomas or Thos:
Thomas Harrison Gillespie Nov. 19, 1812-Oct. 14, 1891, husband of Mary Ann Radar. In 1850 Thomas was 38 years old.
Thomas Simpson Gillespie 13 Dec 1807-1857,1862 or 1866, husband of Mariah Peery. In 1850 he was 43 years old. Thomas moved to Genry Co. MO in 1854, but later returned and died in Tazewell Co. This Thomas is a possibility based on the ages of Emeline's children. Alifair and Elbert Wade are three years apart, but there is about a 3 year difference between Elbert Wade born in 1853 and Thomas Douglas born about 1856. So it's possible Thomas Douglas was conceived when Thomas Gillespie returned from Missouri. Why did he return to Tazewell leaving his wife and children in Missouri?
Until DNA tests are done, this is all speculation as to which Thomas Gillespie is the father of Emeline's first three children.

SCRIVEN, SCREVEN, SCRIEVEN, or SCRIVINE, JOHN, Dover 1662, d. 2 Oct. 1675, says Quint, in Genealogy Reg. VIII. 65, though in the same l. he makes his will of 24 Nov. 1674, probably 27 June following that date of its making not of his death. Some error, which is seldom found in so careful a writer must here demand correction. It mentions wife Mary, and children Jon, Edward, Thomas, and Elizabeth, all minors. The daughter perhaps married 1686, Samuel Eastman. John Scriven was the illegitimate son of an English Nobleman, Sir Thomas of Shropshire.

John was accepted as an inhabitant of Dover on 5 April 1662. He settled in an area just to the northeast of Dover Town known as "Cocheco," where he had a small farm of 20 acres, "said land being at Cochecha near the east side of the plantation of Richard Otis" (from the deed to John's land, when it was sold by his son, John, to Peter Coffin of Dover in 1685, see PROVINCE DEEDS 20:334).
It was in September of 1662 that he paid his first taxes (John Scales, COLONIAL ERA HISTORY OF DOVER, NEW HAMPSHIRE [1923. Reprint. Bowie, MD: Heritage Books, Inc., 1977], 242).
According to the Inventory of his possessions following his death, John owned a hay barn with 20 acres of land, a few animals (2 oxen, 4 cows, 1 calf, 3 sheep, 1 lamb, 1 mare, a yearling colt and 6 hogs), farm implements and household goods (Inventory of John Scriven's Property, dated 8 October 1675). Interestingly, the inventory also listed 1 musket and sword.
[Note: There is speculation he was the son of Sir Thomas Scribner which could account for the sword. However his birth record identifies his father as Thomas, a sawyer. | SCRIVEN, John (I6908)

He [Henry Filmer] and his wife, Elizabeth Austin Filmer, daughter, son, cook and nephew Samuel, came to Virginia on ship "John & Ambrose" that embarked on 13 Mar 1652, off of Gravesend (northwest of Maidstone at the mouth of the Thames River and east of London).
Upon arriving in Virginia, he moved to Mulberry Island where he had a plantation called "Laus Deo". Henry referred to himself as "of Mulberry Island in Virginia, Gentleman" in an August 27, 1664 letter in the Kent Archives Office. "Laus Deo" was located in or near Felker Field, about where the site of the first heliopad ever built in the U. S. is now located at Fort Eustis.

Also that year of 1698, he united with the newly -formed Congregational Church at Exeter. Then, in 1726, he received another 50 acres of land from the Town (Sinnett, SCRIBNER FAMILIES [note 5], 20-22. We learn the names of John and Elizabeth's children (at least, those who were living on March 2, 1735 from John's will. In the will he speaks of sons Joh, Edward, Samual and Joseph (who he named as Executor, leading us to suspect that Joseph was the oldest), and daughters Elizabeth Moody, Mary Gadon (Gordon), Abigail Young, Susann a Mudget and Sara Moody. John and his son John Jr. are mentioned as part-purchasers of King's Falls Saw Mill in Exeter on 7 August 1723, along with Nathaniel Glidden, Henry Wadleigh, Daniel Ladd and others (N.H. Provincial Deeds, 14:179, quoted by G. W. Chamberlain in hi s book, THE DESCENDENTS OF CHARLES GLIDDEN OF PORTSMOUTH AND EXETER, NEW HAMPSHIRE [Boston: Published by the author, 1925]: 77).
