HARMAN, Beverly French (I30)
 
21572 KING WILLIAM'S WAR was the first of four wars fought between England and France. It lasted from 1689 to 1697. The war was part of a larger European conflict which was being fought over the succession to the English throne. The war was officially ended with the Peace of Ryswick which was signed in 1697. These four wars would decide whether France or England would possess North America.

The town of Dover suffered a devastating attack on the night of Thursday, June 27, 1689. This attack was well planned and carried out by the Indians. In this area of Dover were three Garrison Houses, the Waldron Garrison which was located near the Cochecho River, the Heard Garrison which was located about 1/7 of a mile away on "Little Hill" and the Otis garrison which was located in between the first two. These three Garrisons were fortified houses with a stockade around each. Local residents would retire to these fortified houses in case of trouble. During times of trouble, soldiers would be stationed at Garrison Houses.

Early in the evening of the 27th, two local Indian women approached each of the garrison houses and asked for shelter. This was granted and when all was quiet, the Indians opened the gate and signaled to Indians awaiting outside the fort. The Indians rushed all three garrisons.

In the Waldron Garrison Major Waldron put up a fierce fight. He fought hand to hand with his sword but was overcome and the garrison put to the torch.

The Heard Garrison was saved by Elder William Wentworth. The 80 year old William acted swiftly and with strength to save the Garrison. " He was awakened by the noise of the barking of a dog, just as the Indians were entering, pushed them out, and falling on his back, set his feet against the gate and held it till he had alarmed the people; two balls were fired through it but both missed him."

The Otis Garrison fell like the Waldron House. Richard Otis was killed while attempting to rise out of his bed. His wife, Grizzel, was taken captive as was their infant daughter, Margaret. His son Stephen was killed as was his two year old daughter, Hannah. The Indians picked up Hannah and killed her " by dashing her head against the chamber stairs." Also taken captive were some of his older children; Experience, Judith, and Rose (another version says this daughter was Martha and Rose was a granddaughter). These three were later rescued by soldiers at Conway, New Hampshire as they were being led back to Canada. A total of 29 Dover residents were taken captive in this raid.

RICHARD, blacksmith, admitted freeman of Boston May 1655, but settled at Dover where he had a grant of land before that year was out. Not in sympathy with the established church and often in court for absence from church services. Administrated estate of Wm. Lemon 1662 and of James Heard 1677. He admitted the Masonian claims and agreed to pay ground rent for his lands in 1683. His 1st wife was Rose Stoughton, daughter of (Sir) Anthony, a strong Puritan, who had come to Boston with her kinsman, (Captain) Israel Stoughton. She died before 5 Nov. 1677 when he had married Shuah (Starbuck) Heard on whose 1st husband's estate he was administrator. His 3d wife was GRIZZEL WARREN, married about 1685. On the night of 28 June 1689 his garrison was attacked by Indians, admitted by treachery, and he was murdered. Some of his family shared his fate, but his wife, infant daughter, Margaret, (later rebaptized Christine in Canada) and at least three grandchildren were taken captive to Canada.

Message from Vernon Duke on genealogy.com 14 Oct. 1999 on the Duke Family Forum:
"They [Hardyman Duke and Sally Jordan] were married March 25, 1805 in Oglethorpe County, Georgia. He came to Clark County, Alabama in 1809 and settled in the James Creek area around 1811. He had seven sons-Thomas, William, James Henry (my ancestor),John, Charles, Michael, and Welcome Parks. He had a least one daughter-Emily Jane. The last record of Hardyman was the 1830 census. I assume he died between 1830 and 1840. There is some indication he died in 1839 in Clark County. But, I do not know where in the County he is buried."

CARRAWAY HOME INFORMATION

John CARRAWAY III bought for 20 pounds, "a tract of land on the Western Shore called 'Labour in Vain' containing 67 acres". ("Antiquary"-James.) This had been the land of William Johnson, deceased, and was sold to John CARRAWAY by his widow and his two sisters, co-heirs, but, he built the house now standing in Kemps Landing.

At first, it had only the hall and one room downstairs, with two rooms upstairs. Later, an additional room was added on the back, and still later, the outside kitchen was moved and attached to the house. But, from the front the house looks as it did in 1734, with the original shutters on the windows, which contain many panes of the old hand-blown glass. While the bricks of the chimney are laid in the Virginia, or American pattern, some are decorated as in the 17th century, and beneath the large roof overhang on the front is decorative molding. Small as it is, it was built with care and taste. It was continually occupied by descendants of the first CARRAWAY until 1975.

Marc Davis The Virginian-Pilot© March 18, 2008

Two historic houses in Kempsville, each more than 200 years old, will not be disturbed by the city's plan to shift and rebuild Witchduck and Princess Anne roads.

The older, smaller Carraway House, just around the corner on Witchduck Road, remains in private hands, although that may not be permanent.

Built in the early 1730s, Carraway House is currently a real estate office. The city's plan to widen Witchduck Road will not disturb Carraway House, as it has 31 houses just down the street. In recent weeks, the city bought those homes and demolished all but a few of them.

The owner of Carraway House, Laura Wenslaff, bought the house a year ago and operates Home Realty there. She said a city employee told her Virginia Beach might buy the house and use it as a welcome center for a proposed Kempsville historic district.

While Kempsville has a long, storied history, little evidence of it remains. In Colonial days, Kempe's Landing was a small, thriving village on the Eastern Branch of the Elizabeth River. It was the Princess Anne County seat from 1778 to 1824, with a courthouse and jail. A Revolutionary War skirmish took place there.

After the war, Kempe's Landing became a town and changed its name to Kempsville. Many historic buildings remained through the 1960s. At one point, according to the master plan, Kempsville had a higher concentration of historic buildings as an intact village than any other area in Hampton Roads except Williamsburg.

Nearly all of that was destroyed by development. Pleasant Hall and Carraway House are the only remaining Colonial buildings. Pleasant Hall is a magnificent building, restored to its former grandeur by Neal Kellum, who bought it in 1989 to be used as a funeral home. Kellum also built a modern addition to the house, which is used as a chapel and meeting room by Kempsville Baptist Church.

Carraway House is far more modest. The ground floor consists of two offices, a foyer and storage space. A scrapbook includes letters from the 19th century. Two Carraway family Bibles are featured in a glass case, with entries dating to 1770. The backyard features a small family graveyard, with headstones dating to 1899.

WILL

Will of John Carraway, III, April 9, 1719
[Princess Ann County VA Deed Bk 3:232]

"Will in the name of God, Amen. I John Carroway of ye parish of Lynnhaven ye Co of Princess Ann, being very sick and weak in body but of sound and perfect memory and knowing ye uncertainty of this life on earth and that all flesh must yield unto death when it shall please God to call and first being penitent and sorry from ye bottom of my heart for all my sins past and humble desiring forgiveness of ye same through ye merits of my Lord and savior Jesus Christ into whose hands I commit my soul as for my worldly estate where with it hath pleased God far above my deserts I give and depose the following:

My son Edward Carroway ye part of land I now live on with all ye appurtenances thereto belong beginning at the pine that stands by Woolf Snare Creek and from ye said pine to a black gum by ye main road and so running as ye main road goes including all ye land that shall be ever reputed to be mine to him and his heirs. If he die with out heirs I give land to next surviving heir.

Unto my son John the other part of my land that lies on ye farther side of ye main road to him and his heirs. If he sold die without an heir, then I give ye said land unto my son Thomas and his heirs.

To my son Thomas one hundred and fifty acres of land at Bolesing River one of my horses to swap ye same for a breeding mare and to be paid him at age 19. To my sons Edward and John 38 acres of land in the swamp for the privilege.

To my daughter Elizabeth two cows and calves, two ewes and lambs, a great table without a draw, pewter basin, 19 yards of silk crape and all her mother's wearing clothes her choice of all my cattle for her two cows.

To my daughter Ann two cows and calves and two ewes and lambs, cubbord and table, pewter, basin and her choice of my cattle after her sister for her two cows.

To John, one cow and yearling called star and one iron pot.

To my three youngest children all the rest of my estate moveable and immoveable that is not already given by this my last will and testament. That may, can, or shall be called mine to be equally divided between them when that they shall come of age or on the day of marriage only, that my sons Edward and John shall have ye uses of ye same for and toward the bringing up of them.

John III left a will dated 9 April 1719 and proved 6 May 1719 indicating he died 8 or 9 years before his father, John II. John's wife, Elizabeth, evidently died before her husband, as she is not mentioned in his will and John left his daughter Elizabeth, her mothers wearing clothes. Mentioned in the will are his sons Edward, John and Thomas and daughters Elizabeth and Amy.

Princess Ann: At a court held ye 6th of May 1719. Then ye within last will Of John Carroway Junr [III] was presented in court by his Executors who made oath thereto and being proved by ye oaths of Thomas Hayes and Richard Crompton, witnesses, thereto as written.

Greenfield Township

The first to settle in the township were Daniel Faulkner, James Rice (who died at the advanced age of one hundred and twenty years), and Andrew Faulkner. On the 22d of June, 1882, the latter gave an account of his early pioneer recollections to the one appointed to collect and record them for this work, and four days later he had "passed beyond the river," dying suddenly June 26th, 1882. The pioneers first settled at the forks of Symmes creek, Daniel Faulkner building the first cabin, in 1806.

Gallipolis Journal, 8 Aug 1839

James Rice of Greenfield Twp. Gallia County, Ohio was 116 years old last June. His health is good, and he still retains strength sufficient to walk about without assistance. He has a son living, who is 83 years of age.

Subject: Re: [Rice-Southern-L] RICE in Montgomery/Grayson pre-1790

A James Rice and Robert Bristco/Frisco had a large land holding in the area of Montgomery, Wythe, Tazewell County, Virginia called the James Rice Robert Frisco improvement. A number of land sales from this improvement are listed
in the court record books of Montgomery, Wythe and Tazewell Counties.

James and his wife Mary sold their land in Virginia and moved to Gallia County, Ohio in their later years. James is listed in the 1840 census as 116 years old in good health. This was so unusual that the census taker wrote it across the line from James' name. A Gallia County News paper mentioned his longevity a couple of years later. The last Virginia land sale I have listed is to their grandson Jeremiah Lambert for a token price.

They spent their last few years of life in Gallia County with the offspring of their daughter Hannah who married Job Lambert. Some of the children of this Rice-Lambert related family migrated to Carter and Lawrence County Kentucky in the early 1800's.

James was born Aug. 24, 1724 according to the census record. The news article stated he was born in June. James's daughter Hannah married John Withrow in Cabell County, Virginia after the death of her husband Job Lambert. The 1850 census records list Hannah as age 90 born in Virginia. That would place James in Virginia in 1760. James was living in Montgomery County in 1782 next door
to Robert Briscoe, other Rice's on the tax list that year were John and Spencer. Job Lambert's father Phillip was also there.
