Colonel John Phelps
M, #2678, b. 1705, d. 25 February 1772
John Phelps ... was already settled in Brunswick County, Va., when Lunenburg was taken from that county, and was one of the first Justices of the new county. He, with Matthew Talbot and others, was present at the first Court of Lunenburg County held May 5, 1746. When the increase in population made it necessary to form still another county from Lunenburg's territory, and Bedford came into being, we find John Phelps again at the head of affairs-"Justice of the Peace, and a Justice of the County Court in Chancery." He and William Callaway were Bedford's first representatives in the House of Burgesses, and from Hening's Statutes, Vol. VII, we learn that he was a Colonel in the Colonial Army. He died in Bedford County in 1772, and his will, recorded in Will Book "A" page 137, mentions wife, Mary; children: Jane, Judith, Sarah, Ann, Mary, Betty, John, and Aggey.

Comment from JC Rogers: The original Phelps lands in Bedford were actually located on an outskirt of the City of Lynchburg and closer to there than actual Bedford. (JC Rogers) JC Rogers, a respected researcher of the central VA Phelps lines, says he can tie John d 1772 and Mary Phelps of Bedford to Thomas d. 1751 Albemarle with land transactions and feel they are related perhaps closer than any of the other line to Thomas. - He was a Captain during the French & Indian War while living in Bedford Co., VA: 1750 - 3 July 1750 - July Court - John PHELPS, Gentleman, was appointed to take list of tithables & give public notice of time & place.

| Marriage | 1700 | In Virginia, British America. |
| Marriage | 1705 | ISSUES! 1) her father indicates she had no children when he died in 1713. 2) When was she born? If he married Margaret Martha Talbot and her parents were William Talbot and Catherine Ogg, she was too young to have John Phelps in 1705. Trees show it, but there is a birth record for a Katern believed to be her mother Catherine, in 1695. WikiTree does not know about the birth records? They are in Family Search, but that does not bother their brain there - the tree is just the same... Early Colonial Settlers has no husband for Margarite Talbot b1711 of William Talbot and Katherine Ogg. I think she may have married Benjamin Hammond b1706/7 Later Hammonds use the name Talbot as a middle name. https://msa.maryland.gov/megafile/msa/speccol/sc2900/sc2908/000001/000426/pdf/am426--369.pdf In her husband's will she is called Margaret. She is also called Margaret in her father's will. (Where does the Mary come from?) The Talbots were from Maryland. The Phelps were Goochland Co., VA. So relevant Phelps names in Baltimore County Families that is so full of Talbot and Ogg people. See some notes in WinOrganizer1 |

Judy's DNA as Samuel Anderson: 4 matches, 3 to William Phelps 2 to William Rountree and Dorcas Dudley 1 to john Phelps and Margaret Talbot 1 connected to John Phelps is to Benjamin Bolling and Martha Phelps | |
| Misc | Phelps ancestry.3 | |
| Misc | Named in his father's will.4 | |
| Misc | Connection to Matthew Talbot. If you look at the ages of Matthew Talbot and John's wife, it would appear that Margaret was a sister of Matthew. Most of what I see STARTS with a Matthew. But this below is John Phelps Jr so his mother was a Talbot and what connection with his "friend" Matthew? So the arrival of Matthew and his brother etc may be a bit late for the wife of John Phelps Sr. "John Phelps, the first of the name of whom we have any authentic record, was already settled in Brunswick County, Va., when Lumenburg was taken from that county, and was one of the first Justices of the new county. He, with Matthew Talbot and others, was present at the first Court of Lunenburg County, held May 5, 1746." -- Our Kin This might also help figure out which Talbot is Margaret's father. Note, the cmment that Margaret Talbot was born in Maryland still might be correct! https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Talbot-259 Also consider this: https://joannedi.wordpress.com/2017/10/14/they-migrated-from-maryland-to-virginia-just-300-years-apart/ Also see meetings with John Jr and Matthew Talbot "occupation" facts in John Jr's entry.5,6,7 | |

Jane Phelps
F, #2681, b. 1725, d. 1786
She has been traditionally called Jane Pendleton, despite no evidence ever shown for that last name. Some believe she is Jane Phelps and I am convinced by this. (It does not really change my ancestry because I am already descended from this family).
BUT DNA suggests Pendleton even though she is not in the ancestry tree and likes her ancestors.
Some no CA, but one has both parents. 3 matches.

Ducebella is I think Drucilla who married a Bunberry first I see nothing to help with parents. Dulceballa Bunberry is supposedly the daughter of William Bunbury 1670–1725 and Frances Mason 1674–1737. 7/5/2024 Scott now has 0 matches with Mary Frances Allen Judy has 0 matches with mary Frances Allen Scott's DNA as Samuel Anderson Mary Frances has only 6 DNA matches but 21 for Thomas Gibson. They are Eunice 1 none, 3 Thomas Gibson and Mary Frances Allen and our Mary C. Judy's DNA as Samuel Anderson, 2 matches only 6/4/2024 Mary Baugh - only Mary Frances Mary C is our line so common ancestor is Benjamin Bolling and Martha Phelps | |
| Misc | Parents - dubious. DNA connects to a half sibling Reuben Samuel Allen (1675-1756) and a tree with no evidence but connections, sigh, to Massachusetts... Connected through the father "Negro Allen". Other possible parents are John Allen and Barbara Withers. Barbara Withers is suggested by DNA, but her husband in the tree that is pointed to is "Negro Allen". Elsewhere I see him as John Allen. I don't see them having a Mary that seems to fit. Her WikiTree entry has her parents Arthur Allen and Katherine Baker. NO EVIDENCE but findagrave and "firsthand knowledge"... Sure. WikiTree shows a mary child marrying someone else... And different parents for Barbara... https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Withers-513 Then there is this: Hucklescott? https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Allen-34844 Findagrave. Has a chidl mary with little info... https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/142549272/barbara-allen This tree shows Barbara Withers mother's name as Frances! Hence child Mary Frances? This tree shows no female children. https://gw.geneanet.org/tdowling?lang=en&p=barbara&n=withers ___________ I see no proof of any parents, nor anything in DNA. Some suggest her parents are Richard Allen and Mary Hobbs and there is proof. What is that proof? Richard Allen did have a daughter named Mary, but is that enough with such a common name? I see trees with TWO children named Mary in them. Also, the birth location given does not seem to be consistent with where Richard Allen and Mary Hobbs. other children were born. Findagrave says this: Mary Allen was born abt 1642 in Doswell, New Kent County, (now Hanover County), Virginia, United States. She was the daughter of Richard (Allin) Allen (1611-1690) and Mary (Hobbs) Allen (1615-1664). There is no actual record of the birth year on ancestry for Mary Allen. There is proof that she was the daughter of Richard and Mary (Hobbs) Allen and that she married Thomas Gibson in 1685, and they had 6 known children born after 1685. Since her husband was born abt 1667, and her mom died in 1664, she could have been born in the 1660's which would make more sense with the other dates of her husband's and children's birth years and her marriage date.2 |

Jesse J. ("Jake") Childers
M, #2692, b. about 1795, d. after June 1880
Jesse J. "Jake" Childress was born 1795, the son of Pleasant Childers and Sarah "Sally" Jeffries. He married Sally Belcher on 12 August 1821. Sally (1804-1894) was the daughter of George.. Belcher I and Mary Ann Fugate Belcher. ... Jesse died ca. 1880. Jesse moved with his parents from Virginia to Pike County, Ky. He met and married Sally Belcher in Pike Co. KY. Shortly after their marriage Jesse moved the family to Buchanan County Virginia, where they lived the remainder of their lives. Jesse also changed his name from Childers to Childress at that time. His descendants, except for Tipper Childers, have been Childress ever since. Tipper's line are the only known(at this time) descendants of Jesse who use the Child-e-r-s version of the name. However over the many generations (about 500 years) of traceable family lineage the spelling changes back and forth every few generations.

Captain Nathaniel Jeffries
M, #2698, b. 25 October 1733, d. about 1795
Nathaniel Jefferies
He married first Sarah Steen and second Mary Tate. His wife is Mary in his will.
His will mentions the children of Mary Tate very specifically, but ALSO a huge number of children who would seem to belong to Sarah Steen, yet I do not see these Nathaniels combined into one.
Note Sarah Brown Steen is listed as being born in Pennsylvania. Is she correct? If not, where do all the children listed in the will come from?
Also, his birth dates are all over the place.
He is confused everywhere with a Nathaniel in Pennsylvania. Everything is suspect.

| Death | about 1795 | Then, Kentucky in Clarksville, Tennessee, United States. I think 29 Jan 1812 maybe the death date of Nathaniel Jefferies Jr! It cannot be someone whose probate was in 1795. He is said to die in three places! His will etc in Virginia, then Kentucky in DAR records, and Tennessee? Clearly his son Nathaniel is confusing this, but still...1,2,7,7 |

| Misc | Two Nathaniel Jeffries? I cannot make sense of the two wives: Sarah Brown Steen and Mary Tate. What could make sense is there is yet another Nathaniel Jeffries, possibly even a son of this Nathaniel. An interesting point is in FS, Sarah Brown Steen was born in 1735 in Chester Pennsylvania. How did she find our Nathaniel Jeffries who was born in Virginia. Chester Pennsylvania is also where a Nathan Jeffrey had died and son Emmor and other children were left. Her parents both died in Chester Pennsylvania. Father John Richard Steen and Mary Jane Moore. Name Sarah Steen Description Daughter Date 10 Apr 1749 Prove date 24 Aug 1753 Book Page C:437 Remarks John Steen. West Nantmeal. Farmer. April 10, 1749. August 24, 1753. C. 437.

To daughters Sarah and Mary £40 each at 18, also £60 to the child yet to be born. Executors: Wife Jane and brother-in-law John Moor. Letters to Jane, John Moor being out of the Province. I can't find a record, but people have her marrying a Nathaniel Jeffries (our Nathaniel Jeffries) in Pennsylvania in 1756 or 1758. I see a marriage record on ancestry with no date or place nor image.

| Misc | Confusion with Pennsylvania. There is a Nathaniel Jefferis in Pennsylvania who left an orphan named Emmor. the hearing was in 1795.

| Misc | Newspaper article. Snippet from the article: In 1776, Nathaniel Jefferies and Wade Hampton I, patriot soldiers serving in the first regiment, were together on the day that the Indians killed a part of Wade’s family. His father, Anthony Hampton, his mother, his brother, Preston, and an infant boy, son of his sister (James Harrison’s wife) were all killed. The Indians burned their house and carried off a boy named John Bynum. When they heard of the massacre, Nathaniel went with Wade and helped to bury his parents, brother and nephew. Nathaniel brought Wade and gave him a home for several months during the early part of the war when they were not fighting Tories. Wade spent a part of his time visiting with the John Beckham family. Beckham, also a Patriot soldier, lived nearby in present day Union County. He was a racehorse trainer and kept several of Hampton’s horses. Adam Chisholm had a race tract within three miles of the Beckham plantation (just off present day Jerusalem Road). Hampton was a Patriot Cavalry officer rising to the rank of Colonel. (References: Unpublished manuscript of Jefferies Family by James Jefferies, History of Qrindal Shoals by J. D. Bailey; History of Spartanburg County by Dr. J. B. O. Landrum) In John Jefferies, Sr.’s Reminiscences of the Revolutionary War, he states that the Tories plundered his father’s house, stole his horse, drove off the cattle, raped his mother and tried unsuccessfully to burn his house. In 1776, after this traumatic experience, his father purchased the land that is referred to today as ‘The brick bftise place” and moved his family into a log cabin already on the land This cabin was on or near Gilkey Creek that flows into Thicketty Creek. J. D. Bailey in his book, History of Grindal Shoals, states: “A party of British and Tory raiders were passing through the country committing their usual depredations (rapes, etc.), and coming to Grindal Shoals encamped for the night Without the least suspicion on their part, (William) Sharp and two of his associates were close on their trail The night being dark, their first intimation of danger was Sharp’s bold demand for their immediate surrender, or they would be blown into that region which is reputed to be pretty hot, In the surprise of the moment they begged for quarter and twenty men laid down their arms. The victors threw the enemies’ guns into the river, before they discovered the fewness of their captors, and the captives were driven to the nearest Whig encampment” No date is given for this encounter. Bailey has written the following about the John Nuckolls family: “The greatest suffering inflicted on the Whig settlements was by thieving tones, with which the country was Infested Whig Hill was not fanmim* to these depredations. A number of raids were made, but perhaps the most noted one was made in 1780. They made a clean sweep. The only bed left for the youngest child was a sheepskin used for a saddle blanket It was, probably, at this time when they were shooting stock, breaking up furniture and ripping open feather beds, that Mrs. Nuckolls, womanlike, began tongue lashing them. One of the dastardly scoundrels struck at her head with a saber, and throwing up her arm to ward off the blow, received a wound, which left a scar that she carried to her grave. ...8 | |
