| 471 | Lafayette Rogers was born about 1826 according to census records. The parents of Lafayette Rogers are currently not known. He is possibly related to Joseph Rogers (b. ca. 1795) who is living n the Hopewell District of Mecklenburg Co. in 1850. 1850 U.S. Census Mecklenburg Co., North Carolina, Roll M432_637, p. 34B. Joseph Rogers is listed on the same page of the census as James and Nancy Knox, the parents of Lafayette’s second wife Sarah E. Knox. Further, both Joseph Rogers and Lafayette Rogers had a daughter named Narcissa. Thus, it is possible that Lafayette named his daughter after his sister. Lafayette Rogers appears in the 1850 census in Davidson College, Mecklenburg Co., North Carolina. He is living in the household of Wm. G. Potts and working as an overseer. 1850 U.S. Census Mecklenburg Co., North Carolina, Roll M432_637, p. 38A; digital image, Ancestry.com. Lafayette Rogers married Harriet C.

Witnesses were Nathan Ellington, Richard Price, and Charles Carter. Russell Co. D. B. 1: Dec. 25, 1792, Joel Hobbs, along with Richard Price and Charles Carter, witnessed the deed from William and Hannah Blanton to Robert Kilgore, on Copper's Creek, a south branch of Clinch River containing 226 acres, beginning above Amo's Branch. "The Holston region of Virginia was settled first in 1750. This settlement grew apparently, to nearly a thousand persons when it was suddenly and ruthlessly wiped out or dispersed by the French and Indian War outbreak, At the end of this war, the area remained uninhabited, thanks to the uncompromising stand and of the Royal Proclamation of 1763. The new influx of settlers began timidly and tentatively in 1768 and, by 1773, at least, had grown to a flood." (From Historical Society of Washington Co. VA Pub., Series II, No 16, May 1979.) Russell County was formed 1787 from Washington County. Lee County was formed 1792/93 from Russell and Scott County There is a document "The Call to the Reverend Charles Cummings" dated: 5 January 1773 and signed by 137 settlers. The names would have been gathered in 1772. One of the signers was William Blanton. In 1799, William Blanton sold 30 acres of land located in Lee County to James Young who also signed the call to Rev. Cummings. The Wilderness Road by Robert L. Kincaid, Published 1947 by Babbs-Merrill Co., gives proof that the Rev. Charles Cummings accepted the call. On page 157 in this entry: "On the night of May 22, 1780, the weary Colonel Fleming found lodging in the hospitable home of the stout Scotch-Irish preacher, the Rev. Charles Cummings at Wolf Hills, later known as Abingdon, Virginia." (In 1988 his cabin home was still standing in Abingdon.) According to an affidavit filed in Washington County, Virginia in 1855, William Blanton served under General George Washington at Braddock’s Defeat (1755), in the French and Indian Wars and served to the end of the Revolutionary War and became entitled to bounty land. No written evidence has been found to establish in what section of Virginia, William lived before 1772, when he signed the "Call to Rev. Cummings". However, in Mecklenburg county, Virginia in 1756-1760, a William, John and George Blanton were land owners. In the property taxes in Lee County, Virginia. in 1795, the Names William, John and George were listed, and also from "Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia" and extracted from the original court records of Augusta County, 1745-1800: Tax levies Delinquents - 1767 Wm. Blanton. William Blanton was also listed with the "Long Hunters" in 1760-1775. In 1803, he stated he had been acquainted with Powell’s Valley since 1770 and was on a hunting party there in 1771-72 and that he moved to Powell’s Valley 1782-83. Vincent Hobbs, Hannah’s father. stated he became acquainted with the land in 1773 and settled there in 1780. His family came to Southwest Virginia circa 1769. In 1788, William bought land on Moccasin Creek, a branch of the North Fork of the Holston River. The next year he bought 226 acres on Copper Creek, a south branch of the Clinch River. He sold both tracts in the winter of 1792. These are recorded in Russell County. In 1796 and 1797, William bought land on the Powell River which he sold in 1799 and 1804. The Powell Valley opens onto the Cumberland plateau and, no doubt, William Blanton had been on hunting trips into the Tennessee area. Land grants were being made in Tennessee and a group of Southwest Virginia settlers moved into the area of Warren County. William was listed as a Lieutenant in the May 21, 1808 roll of the 29th Regiment, Tennessee State Militia. He received a land grant of 100 acres in Warren County in 1810 which he sold to John Denton. The sale was not registered until December 4, 1819. Aggie Blanton Johnston, William’s daughter stated in an affidavit her father died about 1817 in Virginia, and also gave some facts about his military service. On the 2nd day of September, 1797 William Blanton bought from Wm. Daniel, and Susanna, his wife, for 120 pounds, a certain tract or parcel of land, containing 82 acres lying on both sides of Powell’s River. Beginning at a white oak and black walnut on a Rocky Ridge ... to comer to said Ann Campbell crossing a creek, and said river to a white oak on the top of a cliff ... to a white oak on the top of a ridge to a white oak on the bank of the said River crossing the river to a White Oak on the west side of a Ridge ...

| 480 | Lord Granville of Great Britain was the only one of eight Lords Proprietors to retain his lands in Carolina after the other Lord Proprietors had returned their Crown Grants to control of the English king in about 1729. The northern boundary of Granville's land ran along the Virginia state line east to the Atlantic Ocean and west to the "westward waters" having no idea at the time how far those westward waters would be. The land extended southward covering about the northern half of the present state of North Carolina. The only other Lords Proprietor to hold lands in the region was Henry McCulloh. "All land ownerships originated with these two land holders until after the Revolution. After that, the source of new land was the state, which had confiscated all ungranted land and land that had been owned by active Tories." (Hughes p.4) Lord Granville appointed agents to assign land grants to the early settlers within his land holdings. Granville died in 1763 making null and void the authority for his agents to continue to issue grants for the land and the land grant offices were closed. Hundreds of families settled on ungranted land of which they had no legal claim in the belief that the land grant office would eventually reopen but it never happened. The controversies over legal land holdings, land theft, and taxes and fees by greedy officials in North Carolina would continue to be a growing problem for years to come culminating in one of the first major conflicts between the early settlers and the English Crown at Alamance Creek and eventually into war. No further land grants were issued until after the American Colonies declared their independence from England and land became the price for service in the Revolution for the early American settlers. This created a large movement of emigration into the colonies for those seeking to gain their own personal freedoms from oppression. When the state began to open new land grant offices in 1778 it would be the authority of each state to issue land grants. Those settlers who had settled on vacant lands while the land grant offices were closed were given the first right to establish their land claims with the state land grant office. States passed legislation to attempt to correct the previous wrongs of the proprietors but land disputes would continue for years to come as local and state officials became the new breed of land thieves. Many land owners would lose the property they had claimed through legal loopholes but none would suffer the loss more than the Quakers because of their pacifist doctrine. It was in this setting and time period that the Strader families of German origin came to North Carolina with their families to begin a new life. (Narrative compilation by Elvin E. Perkins, Jr. and Jamie C. Smith.) 1752. Orange County, North Carolina was formed from Granville, Johnston, and Bladen Counties. It was said to be named for William III of the House of Orange who ruled England from 1689 to 1702 but it is believed it may have been named for the infant William V who's mother was Anne, daughter of George II, King of England. 22 Nov. 1752. Conrad Strader departs from Rotterdam, Holland aboard the ship Phoenix and immigrates to the American Colonies arriving in the port at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. 1753. Rowan County, North Carolina was formed from Anson County. Circa 1755. Conrad Strader appears in a tax list of Orange County, North Carolina. (This appears to be the earliest known record found for Conrad in North Carolina. It needs to be further researched.) 6 Sept. 1761. The Pennsylvania Archives, series 2, Vol II, lists Conrod Stightner naturalized in Berks Co., Pennsylvania. This appears to be Conrad Strader. Circa 1764. Conrad Strader appears in Orange County, N. C. Court records. 29 May 1769. Henry Grubb & wife Eve Dorothy to Conrad Strader for 114 pds., 589 acres on Second Creek & Davis Branch adjoining Richard Morly & Jacob Fullwider granted to them April 4, 1761. Witnesses - John Forhock, Henry Hardman and a "German." Rowan Co. Deed Book 7, p. 123 Circa 1770. Biddy Strader the daughter of Conrad married John Nichols. 1771. Guilford County, North Carolina was formed from Rowan and Orange Counties. The county was named for the English Parliament member Francis North, first Earl of Guilford who was born in 1704. 17 Jan. 1772. Conrad Strader of Guilford Co. to Michael Hartman Dillon for 130 pds. proclamation money, 589 acres on south side Second Creek & Davis Branch adjacent Richard Morby and Jacob Fulwider granted Henry Grubb, April 4, 1761 and sold to Strader on May 29, 1769. Witnesses - George Henry Berger, Arthur Greer and a "German." Rowan Co. Deed Book 7, p. 399. 2 June 1775. Conrad's daughter Barbara married Abraham Shelley in Orange County, North Carolina. The marriage could have taken place in either of two areas of present day N. C., Caswell County or Alamance County. Both of these counties were later taken from Orange County which bordered Guilford County on the east side in 1775. 26 May 1776. From the Moravian Freidberg Diary - "At the home of my host, Jacob Christman, I found more than twenty men and women, to whom I could say many things for the blessings of their souls, finding their hearts open and receptive. One man, Conrad Streter, asked whether he could send his children to Salem to school? I answered that it be done, if he could pay someone to take care of them in his home, but that would be too expensive for him. He said he would be glad to sell his place here if he could get another near a congregation of the Brethren." 28 MAY 1776: "In the morning at 6 o'clock we began our journey homeward, bidding a hearty farewell to our host and many others. The elder Christman and Conrad Streter went with us 10 miles." (Salem: a Moravian settlement now called Old Salem which now lies in modern day Winston- Salem, N. C. and is a restored historic site with many of the old original buildings still remaining and in which one can still see and study the old Moravian customs and culture.) 1777. Caswell County, North Carolina was formed from Orange County.

Because of the war (the American Revolution), the next trip of the Moravian Minister was not made until July 1782 when it is said, "Our friends there have fallen into distress and need, especially during the time when both armies were near them, and through their own fault since most of them behaved as Tories. Three lost their lives...Heinrich Streder and Joh. Sommer have not dared to appear to this hour, since they went with the English Army, and their families doubt whether they are still living." The writer mentions the heads of families that he visited, including George Streder, but apparently Conrad Strader had moved on to Hogans Creek in Caswell County, North Carolina by this date. 9 Oct. 1782. Conrad's daughter Katherine married Peter Lewis. They were probably married in Guilford County although no marriage bond has been found. The date comes from an old family record passed down to descendants. 10 Dec. 1782. Andrew Ferguson and wife Margaret of Halifax Co., Virginia, for 60 pds.

| 481 | Lt. Richard Kennon (-1805) of “Finewood,” Mecklenburg County, served in the Fifth Virginia Regiment during the Revolution, was promoted to brigadier-general of the State troops, and was among the first members of the Society of Cincinnati. Kennon married Elizabeth Mumford, a daughter of Col. Robert Munford of “Richland,” Mecklenburg County, 16 May (bond) 1780, and they were the parents of nine children. Kennon represented Mecklenburg County in the Virginia House of Delegates (1788-92) and at the Convention of 1788. He was in the State Senate for Brunswick, Lunenburg, Mecklenburg, and Greensville counties (1798-1802), and served as its speaker, 1800-02. The Encyclopedia of Virginia Biography devotes a topic to Kennon. Mecklenburg County taxed Kennon on 23 horses and 28 slaves in 1800. Richard Kennon died in the Louisiana Territory where he was serving as governor (will dated 4 Feb. 1805, recorded 8 April 1805). Elizabeth was residing in Warrenton County, North Carolina, in 1807 when she gave a power of attorney to her brother William Mumford. | Kennon, Richard (I1332)

| 486 | Lydia Briggs was the daughter of Ralph Briggs and Elizabeth Mary Wright and brother of George Briggs. She was born in 1720 in Goochland County, Virginia. She died in Pittsylvania County Virginia in 1787. John Wright (probably an uncle) was appointed as her guardian after both of her parents died (I do not have this date). John Wright died between March 14, 1729/30 and May 1730 at which time her brother George must have been of age, and become her guardian, because when George died in June of 1734, Lydia chose a new guardian, Richard Parsons. Hence, George must have been her guardian at the time. Lydia also inherited 400 acres of land from George on the south side of the James River along Muddy Creek.

It is believed that the name Mackness in early Virginia is associated with the Good family. The Good(e) family is found in close proximity to both the Moore family and the Rice family in Prince Edward County. | Moore, Mackness (I3624)

| 493 | Margaret Ann Mayhew was the wife of Robert L. Rogers. Although no marriage record has been found, evidence for the marriage is found in the death certificate of Lacy Rogers, daughter of Robert Rogers and Margaret Ann Mayhew. North Carolina Death Certificate No. 25741. Margaret appears in the 1880 census with her husband Robert Rogers. See, notes for Robert Rogers. She was 18 years old. Based on the 1880 census, the birth date for Margaret Mayhew is about 1862. A Margaret C. Mayhew (36) is listed in the 1870 census in Davidson, Iredell Co., NC. Her household includes Thomas (16), William (14), Franklin (12), Laura (10), Margaret (8) and Florida (4). 1870 U.S. Census, Iredell Co., North Carolina, Roll M593_1144, p. 85B. The younger Margaret may be the wife of Robert Lee. William Mayhew (70) is listed as head of household in the 1860 census in Iredell Co. His household includes John Mayhew (30), Margaret Mayhew (24), Mary Mayhew (9), Thomas Mayhew (7), Billy Mayhew (5), Frank Mayhew (3) and Laura Mayhew (3m). 1860 U.S. Census, Iredell Co., North Carolina, Roll M653_902, p. 143. John and Margaret Mayhew may be the father of Margaret Mayhew who married Robert Lee. If so, William Mayhew would be the likely grandfather. Note that the William Mayhew in the 1860 census does not appear in the 1870 census. A William Mayhew died and left a will in Iredell Co. in 1870. Iredell Co. Will Book 4, p. 73. Also note that a John Mayhew died in Iredell Co. in 1838 and left a will. Iredell Co. Will Book 2, p. 185. The children of John (d. 1838) include William, Presley, Matilda, Eveline, Mahala, George, John and Janes. William Mayhew (d. 1870) also had daughters named Matilda and Avaline. See, 1850 U.S. Census, Iredell Co., Roll M432_633, p. 103A. The naming pattern strongly suggests that William Mayhew (d. 1870) is the son of John (d. 1838). Phyllis Harrison, great-granddaughter of Robert Rogers and Margaret Mayhew, states that, according to family tradition, Margaret Mayhew died instantly at a young age when she was kicked in the chest by a horse. Robert Rogers was apparently remarried by 1910, suggesting that Margaret Mayhew died between 1900 and 1910. Mayhew Wills in Iredell Co. Margaret - 1883 (possible mother) Iredell Co.
