James Allen O

In the "Birth Records of Augusta County, Virginia", a James Allen is found as having (5) children this must be Major James Allen's father. The only son listed James must be the same as Major James Allen due to the dates of the births listed. The children are as follows: 1.

2.

4. *5.

Rachel, b. 19 Oct 1740, Augusta Co., VA. Margaret, b. 12 Mar 1742, Augusta Co., VA. James, b. 18 Mar 1744, North Mountain Meeting Hold, Augusta Co., VA; m. Polly Young.

Isabel, b. 20 Apr 1746, Augusta Co., VA. Isabel, b. 20 May 1747, Augusta Co., VA.

*Since the name Isabel is used twice, I would assume that the first Isabel, b. 20 Apr 1746, died prior to the birth of the second Isabel in May of 1747. Otherwise the family would have had problems identifying the correct Isabel.

Lee Co., VA. See Avant In 1768, Andrew Baker became one of the first settler is the New River area of Wilkes County, North Carolina [this area became Ashe County, North Carolina in 1799]. Like most great men his reputation was

impeccable, he was a good Whig, he held great influence in the community, was a chaplain of the Baptist religion, and held an eminents for morality.

Andrew Baker was a Baptist minister. He served as such prior to the American Revolution and following it.

He started many churches around the area of North Carolina and southwest Virginia. History shows him to have been an able, wise and successful minister in these areas. There were many churches in which he preached and pastored. Among them were: Dutchman's Creek Church - this church was broken up during the Revolutionary War Eatons's Church - formed 16 Dec 1790 Brier Creek Church, Wilkes Co., NC - here he served two terms, 1781-1794 and again 1800-1802 Lewis Fork Church, Wilkes Co., NC, 1792-1794 Cedar Island (which became Ausburn then later Fox Creek Church), Grayson Co., VA Sinclair's Bottom Church, Washington Co., VA Providence Church, Yadkin Co., NC in 1805 Thompson Settlement Baptist Church, Lee Co., VA - 1811-1815 Rev. Andrew & Elizabeth (Avant) Baker were received by letter into the Thompson Settlement Baptist Church in Lee Co., VA on the 3rd Saturday of October, 1811. He was called to pastor the church on 23 Apr 1815.

There are many stories concerning the relationship between the Baker and Avant families. One consistent theme, holds that when Andrew and Elizabeth married she was disowned by her family. She was disinherited and told never to return home. It was not until her parents later years that they sought to make peace with their daughter. Calling her to return home before they died.

An tale states that when Andrew and Elizabeth first married he was a fiddler for dances, of course this was prior to his becoming a preacher. The story goes that he and his wife left the children at home to attend a dance - staying late into the evening. Upon returning home they found the house and children burned to the ground. This was said to have led him to become a Christian and a preacher never to attend another dance. There are of course, several variations to this tale. The most plausible one that I came across, had Andrew and Elizabeth attending a party. While they were out one of their children burned up when the house burned.

It is unsure the number of children that John Baker and his wives had. Through deduction, I believe that Permdy Van Noy was the mother of Issac Baker (only known child of John Baker). She apparently died shortly after his birth, due to John's 2nd marriage in September of 1850. If this is not the case then he would have been illegitimate, which is doubtful. Or perhaps he was not born until 1852, which would be the only other explanation.

Olen Edward Garret William 'Jess' Baker 4. William 'Jess' Baker, son of Issac & Margaret Catherine (Thomas) Baker, b. 19 Feb 1889, Lee County, VA ; d. 30 Dec 1968, Marion, Smyth County, VA ; m. 20 Aug 1913, possibly Harlan County, KY to Nancy Elizabeth Rogers (Nannie Elizziebeth), daughter of Isaac H. & Eliza Jane (Harber) Rogers, b. 3 Oct 1896; d. 1 Jul 1971, Lee County, VA. Jess Baker was a coal miner. He was a member of the UMW #8761. It was said of Jess that there was no one better to have on a strike line with you. He was also active in the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, Jessee Lodge. Both Jess and Nancy Baker appear on several times in the Deed Books of Lee County, Virginia. See Appendix D - Baker Deeds.

There was a time when the Baker and Stapleton families had a minor altercation. It seems that Jess Baker

was taking a truck into the holler where he lived in order to remove coal from the mine on his property.

Ada Stapleton, wife of Ken, did not like the idea of the truck passing across her property, even though it was a pubic roadway. She pulled a pistol on Jess and took a shot at him, missing. Jess was not one to give up a good fight, chucked a rock at back at her striking her up side the head. The argument was getting heated up further when a neighbor jumped into the fray. The neighbor pulled a gun on Jess, who then took out a knife to defend himself. The neighbor ended up with a shredded coat. Shots were fired and Jess was shot in the neck (grazed). The neighbor was shot in the leg. It is my understanding that help was called for the neighbor, however, they found Jess injured and took him to the hospital instead of the neighbor, who later walked into the hospital for assistance.

The feud did not end that day. For a number of years afterwards the Stapleton family would cross the street/look away any time that they passed a member of the Baker family. Apparently the feud did not last long, as I always remember visiting with Ada Stapleton when I was young. -- Judy Smith William Jess & Nancy Elizabeth (Rogers) Baker had (9) nine children: 4A.

Jacob Siler, Sr. (SEE SILER) zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz BLANKENSHIP Blankinsop - Blankingship - Blankinship Blenkinsop - Blakinsop ARMS-ARGENT: a fess between three garbs sable, a cresent for difference.

Figure 11: Blankenship Monument Cover The name Blenkinsop is derived from the Anglo-Saxon custom of taking their names from the place in which they live. Hope means a small bay, an opening, a gap in the hills or a valley. Sop/Ship is a corruption of hope. So the name Blenken’s hope became Blenkensop and later Blankenship.

Blenkensop Castle is located approximately one mile from Greenhead, Northumberland, England.. The license to crenellate (permission from the king to erect fortify and crenellate house) was granted for Blenkinsop Castle on 6 May 1340. This license also granted to the family the property to have and hold

Jennie Morgan Kelsey is the only grandparent that was living when I was born. She was a strick mom I am told. But the grandma Jennie I knew was one of the sweetest people I know.

She always called me her little Jennie. I was told I favored her. I named my daughter that she never met after her. I remeber going to Maryville as a child she would walk to the store and end up getting a ride home from the bag boy or someone else who worked there. Everyone liked her. They never owned anything of value she rented a store front apartment before she moved in with us. She loved life and the Lord more than any earthly possesion she had or could have ever owned. She battled diabetes for years and on April 1,1978 she died in prayer at the hospital. She died talking to the Lord in her prayer. It's like the angel of the Lord came and got her and took her home.

In the 1830 Census Jesse Rogers is shown with six members in his household. At the out break of the Civil War Jesse and his family were in Scott County, Virginia. Due to a strong Union sentiment and outspoken opposition to the war, he was taken as a prisoner during the time that the Confederacy held and held in a Confederate prison.

(Possibly Andersonville). He came home after the war almost starved and in broken health. Jesse Rogers was a

92

landowner and land dealer in both Tennessee and Virginia. Land purchases/sales: a) 199 acres purchased from Alexander Williams on 28 Jul 1815; b) 199 acres sold to Rachel & David Tyree in Apr 1816; c) 199 acres purchased on 21 Sept 1830.

Apparently Jesse and Lucinda separated for a time or Jesse was away visiting at the time of the Census, because we find in the 1870 Scott Co., VA Census that Lucinda Rogers is shown alone with her grandson Robert. Jesse Rogers is found in the home of Hiram Herd in Hancock County, Tennessee.

In the 1850 Scott County, Virginia Census, Rachail Miller (b. 1836 - 14 in 1850 Scott Co. Census) is shown in the home of Jesse & Lucinda. She was not a daughter of Jesse & Lucinda. She was probably a girl hired to help Lucinda for a while or she could have been a relative that was in need of a home.lxxxix *$ $ In the Scott Co. Cemetery Records there is a record of two small graves in a hallway of a barn on land where Jesse & Lucinda once lived. It is speculated that two children were buried there during a terrible winter, at the time the ground was frozen so deep the only place that they were able to dig graves to bury the girls was in the barn hallway.

6. Jos K. Stapleton in early court records of Hawkins Co., TN (@1823) ccxcvi 7. Thomas Stapleton b. 1814 Va. married Loucy @1850? living in Hancock, Tn 1850 census. Also in household were James Neil Stapleton age 48, Isaac Stapleton, age 12, and George W. Stapleton, age 4.

They do not appear in Tennessee census following 1850ccxcvii.

8. Thomas Stapleton b. @1805 Russell Co., Va. married 1 ?, had several children, married 2 Louanna Lawson in Meigs Co., TN and by 1850 had moved to Pope Co., IL. He had several children by both wives.

Their names are strickingly similar to the children of James, Isaac, and Andrew Stapleton of Tennessee( but born in VA) ccxcviii.

Other Stapleton's not mentioned in your writing were Edward Stapleton of Washington, Co.VA and Russell Co., Va. and Nancy Stapleton of Scott Co., VA. I have found that neither of these Stapletons were mentioned in a larger work about the families of Thomas Stapletonccxcix.

ANY help or correspondence will be appreciated. I hope you don't mind my rambling. I'd just like to find James and Andrew's father. I suspect (and may be way off base) that their mother was Nancy Stapleton (50-59) 1830 census Hawkins Co., TN. on the same census page. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

BLANKENSHIP

Blankinsop - Blankingship - Blankinship Blenkinsop - Blakinsop

ARMS-ARGENT:

a fess between three garbs sable, a cresent for difference.

The name Blenkinsop is derived from the Anglo-Saxon custom of taking their names from the place in which they live. Hope means a small bay, an opening, a gap in the hills or a valley. Sop/Ship is a corruption of hope. So the name Blenken’s hope became Blenkensop and later Blankenship.

Blenkensop Castle is located approximately one mile from Greenhead, Northumberland, England.. The license to crenellate (permission from the king to erect fortify and crenellate house) was granted for Blenkinsop Castle on 6 May 1340.

This license also granted to the family the property to have and hold (and his heirs) without interference from the crown.

Early Blankenship’s

Odo, half brother of William the Conqueror. Odo, Bishop of Bayeus, a Norman knight was the first Blenkinsop. He was given ca. 1066, a Pele Tower at the site on which Blenkinsop Castle now sits. ∗ ∗ ∗ ∗

∗ ∗ ∗ ∗

A Blenkinsop was made a Baron by Henry I (1100-1135).

A Blenkensop, Bishop and Knight, followed King Richard I (1189-1199) during the third crusade to the Holy Land.

Ralph de Blenkensopp (1216-1272, King Edward I) Rodolphus de Blenkensop , 1st Lord of Demesne. (most likely granted title to the land on which Blenkinsop Castle was eventually built). (12721307, reign of Edward I) ⇒ The license to crenellate granted for Blenkinsop Castle on 6 May 1340 Blankenship Monument Cover Thomas de Blenkensopp (1366, King Edward III) John Blenkinsoppe had received the Pele Tower, as a inheritance, and was in possession in 1415 23 Apr 1470, Elizabeth Blynkynesoppye of Blynkynsoppe, widow of Thomas Blynkyensope, of Blynkkensope, received a general pardonccci. This reference does not give what her offense had been.
