Abel Daneelson van Munte
Marshal and Lord of the Church / Maitre de l'Eglise, Abel Van Munte

The administrative official in a len (county) in the earlier centuries was the lensherre. Later an amtmann (county governor) was appointed by the king. His local functionary was the fogd or foged (bailiff), and the fogderi was his official district. The fogd became the official who collected taxes and enforced the law (politi og oppebørselsmann).

Abijah Bruce served in the military. Rev Ebenezer Parkman's diary says that Abijah was a Sergeant in Sep 1740 but was an Ensign by Jul 1744. He made Lieutenant Aug 1748 and must have been in Captain Baker's Company as on 11 Oct 1748 Parkman "dined with the south Company Officers - Lt Bruce had the Command by Means of Captain bakers being engag'd as one of the Referrees upon the Case of messers [ William] Nurse and [Cornelius] Cook." Abijah doesn't appear in any Massachusetts Military records but might be found in the Westborough Militia records. To show what the soldiers and even the populace had to contend with during the French and Indian Wars, this July 1745 entry from Parkman's diary is included "Ensign Bruce (who went up to Fort Shirley to bring back his son Jonathan) return'd - and informs that last Friday about 10 a.m. Mr. William Phipps was kill'd by the Indians about 30 Rods from the Garrison at [Putney] (nigh which lives Mr Nehemiah How who went from Grafton) and his body was treated inhumanly, Scalp'd, his Heart taken out, etc."

Abijah Bruce was moderator of the town meetings in 1735. In January 1749 some land was bought for the purpose of building a new meeting house in the town of Westboorough. The house was to be fifty feet long by forty feet wide with posts 23 feet high. In April it was ready for raising and accordingly the precinct voted on the 17th "to provide Half a barrel Roum, by the cost and charge of the precinct, for the Raising of the frame of the meeting-house which the precinct voted to build..." Capt. John Maynard, Lieut. Simeon Tainter, and Lieut. Abijah Bruce were voted to be a committee to take care to provide the Roum for raising the frame of the meeting house.

Abijah at one time kept a tavern (during the 1750's at least). It was located on the road between Westborough and Marlborough about two miles from the center of Westborough.

A letter written by Abijah Bruce, dated at Westborough June 5th, 1772, reads "Whereas my brother David Bruce of Soutb'r is a person Naturally wanting Understanding and not capable of taking care of himself and there being some Estate left by our hon'd Father Roger Bruce late of Said Southb'r Deed for the Support of said David who is not Capable to manage the Same for that purpose, These are to desire your Hon'r to enquire into the truth of the above & appoint Him the said David a Guardian". Signed Abijah Bruce by mark, witnessed by Artemas Bruce and Isaac Johnson.

Abijah apparently had a violent temper. in several places in Parkman's diary Abijah is mentioned as having "warm Speech" or answering "Sharply, and coarsely, and asking....with great Anger". An example of his temper is found in the diary from June 1755 when Rev Parkman forgot to mention to the congregation Abijah's desire for prayers for his sick wife. "Lieutenant Bruce came into my House, and the Storm was great, Thunder, Lightening, and Rain. Yet the Storm of Brother Bruce's Passions was more grievous; uttering many bitter grievous Things; neither could I at all lay his Passionate Heat by anything I could Say. he went away talking and in a Rage, notwithstanding it was the Sabbath, and the Storm which Should have Struck Terror, into each of our Hearts. I could not Suffer him to go away in Such a Frame. I put on my Great Coat, and went to the Meeting House, ready to declare it was not with Design that I omitted the Note, but through forgetfullness - as I went I Spake to him at the Stables to Mollifie him - and entreated him and all others that were there to go into the Meeting House; but neither of them did. When I got into the meeting House I was Somewhat out of Breath by my running through the Rain. There were many more in the Meeting House (probably) than I expected; Yet I then conceiv'd it best for the prevention of further Mischief to declare that it was thro my Infirmity and no otherwise that his Case was Neglected; I also mention'd to them the Reason of my coming to Speak of it to them, viz. the violent Anger which he was in, and continued in, though I did all in my Power to Compose and Satisfie him; and that he assur'd me he would never bring me any Papers (to desire Prayers) any more. When I return'd from the Meeting House, he being Still at the Stables, I Stop'd there again and there labour'd to pacifie him; but all was in Vain. So that I left him with telling him that I had done and Said enough (and indeed it was too much) I would not trouble my Self any more. This was a just Chastizement from God upon me, for my own Sloth and Negligence! the Lord be mercifull to me a Sinner! The next day I made it my Business to Visit Mrs. Bruce...As to Lieutenant Bruce, he now receiv'd me civily - no word of yesterday; only when I parted while I had him by the Hand I told him I would not have any Difficulty between him and me, and he answer'd Smiling, ' with all my Heart' ." Abijah apologized a month later to Rev Parkman for his outbursts, " Lieutenant Bruce here and acknowledg'd he did amiss on june 22 and what he said was writ and sign'd".

Perhaps Abijah had cause to be angry. His wife Mary remained ill the rest of the year and was very close to death.

According to Parkman's diary Abijah died 2 Dec 1774, "Lieut. Bruce dies about 2 o'clock p.m. He was nigh 81, was born Nov.27.O.S. 1693".

A later entry for 27 Mar 1775, "Calld at Mr Stone's & desired him, if he should be sent for by those concerned, to attend the Funeral of old Mrs, Bruce, who dyd on ye 26th, aged 88 & one Day".

About 1710, William Bennett, husband of Sarah, died. In 1713, Sarah Bennett is cited by the court in Middlesex Co., VA for having a bastard child. In 1714 Sarah Bennett married George Bowden. In 1717 Sarahis named administratrix of George Bowden's estate. In 1725 William Bennett petitioned the court of Middlesex Co., VA on behalf of his brother John Bowden. This records proves that the Sarah Bennett named in the previous records was the mother of William.

About 1815 -- Moses Street, Jr. was the first Street to settle in Dickson County, Tennessee. Accompanied by his wife, Ailsey, and four or five children, migrated from North Carolina to Dickson County, Tennessee. They settled just south of Ruskin Cave, extending in a narrow strip from Dry Hollow, up Union Hollow to about Maple Grove. The original homesite is unknown, as is the site of their graves. There are two possibilities, one is that they are buried in the Street Cemetery in Union Hollow and the other is the Old Street (Ruskin) Cemetery across Dry Hollow Branch from Jewell Cave on the Yellow Creek Road.

About 1842 Radford McCargo was buried in the Kinkaid cemetery, a Revolutionary War veteran who died of old age. Born in Virginia to John and Mary Radford McCargo, he was given his mother’s maiden name and was just old enough to enroll as a soldier in the Revolutionary War in that colony.

He married Lucy Morton in Prince Edward Co., Virginia in 1786 and by 1787 they were in Kentucky where he signed a petition to the legislature asking permission to use tobacco to pay taxes instead of hard currency. In 1794 [sic 1797] following the birth of Mary R. “Polly” McCargo, his wife, Lucy Morton McCargo, died. As was common, Radford remarried within six months, taking a wife named Eleanor from the neighboring Angell family. Thus, it is no surprise that in a few decades Mary RT. “Polly” McCargo married Willis H. Angell and in 1828 the Angell clan came to Missouri as a family unit, this group being composed of Willis H. and Mary R. “Polly” McCargo Angell, his two brothers and their families.

Once again a widower with his own aged parents still alive in Virginia, Radford McCargo chose to come to the new state as well, rather than returning to Virginia or remaining in Kentucky. The family was attracted to the northern part of Boone County by the easily tilled soil along Rocky Fork Creek, and soon were neighbors of the Hicks/Fountain clan.

Radford McCargo moved his residence from his daughter to various grandchildren as they matured and as space was available for him to stay. Plus, no doubt, he helped as much as his health would allow; his health must have good for he lived into his 80’s and finally died of old age at the home of his granddaughter, Lucy Ann Angell Fountain, and her family about 1842.

…no tombstone was erected over his grave in the Kinkaid burial ground. This burial ground was only a mile west of the Hicks burial ground which was in active use during this decade and the families had already intermarried, so the choice of this plot has to be related to the proximity of this burial ground to Lucy Ann Angell Fountain’s house. Once again, if the grave was mounded no evidence remains as it is on a gently rolling knoll in what was a cow pasture for many years.

At the turn of the century, the Boone County Daughter of the American Revolution (DAR) marked Radford’s grave with a standard marker and enrolled his name on a plaque in the Boone County Courthouse.

11244. Christen Pedersen Thrane

Slektens eldste kjente agnatiske stamfar er kjøpmann og foged Christen Trane, f. ca. 1500 og var bosatt i Viborg. I denne by tilhørte [han han] allerede tidlig patriciatet, iflg. "Dipl. Viborg p. XXVI". Det er meget mulig at Christen Tranes far var Peder Trane som omtales som rådmann i Viborg 1514. En slektning Mogens Trane er rådm. sst. i 1525. Tøger Pallesen (Trane) i Donstrup, 1452, hørte meget sannsynlig til denne slekt.

Kjøpmann i Viborg - kanskje også fogd

Som det framgår av sitatet «Christen Trane vides at have været gift to Gange», mente altså Kielland [Axel Kielland: Familien Kielland med dens kognatiske ... (1897), s. 223] at Christen og Peder (samt Else) hadde en felles far som hette Christen Trane. Selv om de to halvbrødrene Christen og Peder Trane til nå ikke er funnet nevnt med farsnavn noe sted, verken i norske eller danske kilder, er det allikevel sannsynlig at deres far hadde navnet Christen. Ett indisium på dette er at både Christen og Peder Trane hadde en sønn med navnet Christen, ett annet at i Christen Tranes segl [se fig. 4 i artikelen] finnes bokstavene C. C. Nye undersøkelser av danske kildeskrifter som dekker 1500-tallet har brakt to menn med navnet Christen Trane fram i lyset. Begge to finner vi i København. Den 4. april 1542 får vi opplyst at en Christen Trane [Christiern Tranne] bodde i en av universitetets gårder i Vandmøllestrædet [Kj%C3%B8benhavns Diplomatarium, bd. 6, s. 35]. Ut av sammenhengen ser det ut til at han i 1542 overlater huset til en annen [Anders Nielsen Bager]. Teoretisk sett kunne denne Christen Trane gjerne være Christen og Peder Tranes far, men i mangel av bevis må man foreløpig bare anse det for en hypotese. Tidspunktet kunne for øvrig passe vel overens med at han i 1542 kan ha vært enkemann. Som nevnt var Christen C. Trane født i 1533 og hans halvbror Peder var trolig født noe seinere, mellom 1545-1555. At Christen Trane i København nå flyttet kunne i så fall kanskje ha sammenheng med at han giftet seg på ny og at han sammen med sin nye kone kan ha flyttet ut av byen. Tar man utgangspunkt i at vanlige folk som regel ikke flyttet så veldigt langt, kunne man gjette på at han kanskje kan ha slått seg ned et eller annet sted på Sjælland eller i Malmø. I 1582 finner vi også at en Christen Trane betalte leie av en gård eller en grunn «Ved Vollen» i København, som var eid av «hellig Gesthuus hospital». I en «Jordbog paa kiøbstedtz goidz til hellig Gesthuus hospital» finner vi denne innførselen: «Ved Vollenn. Michel Fyrbøder viij marck. Hanns Mynther xij marck. Christenn Trane ix marck.» [Kj%C3%B8benhavns Diplomatarium, bd. 1, s. 524]. Ettersom disse to Christen Trane nevnes med hele 40 års mellomrom, synes det lite sannsynlig at det kan være samme mann. Det må i så fall innebære at det finnes en Christen Trane i København samtidig med Christen Trane i Stavanger [1533-1600 1533-1600], men det kunne teoretisk sett også være Christen Trane i Stavanger som her kan ha betalt leie [i København år 1582] på en annens vegne (, for eksempel sin stemor eller hittil ukjente søsken).

I Stavanger førte familien som våpenmerke i rødt felt en gylden trane, holdende en kule i den venstre klo, på hjelmen en gylden trane. Andre grenser av familien førte våpenmerke i blått felt en gylden trane.

Foged i Sunnhordland 1593, foged i Strandvig Skibrede 22. okt. 1594. Sorenskriver i Hardanger og Voss 1598. Befalingsmann over Apostels Gods 18. juni 1599.

Peder (Christensen ?) Trane Født omkring 1550. Peder Christensen Trane kaldes 1593 Foged i Søndhordland, 22. okt. 1594 Foged (Strandvig Skibrede), 1598 Sorenskr. i Hardanger og Voss, 18. juni 1599 Befalingsmand over Apostels Gods; levede 1600 i Stvgr. At Christen og Peder Trane var søsken, framgår klart av Stavanger Domkapitels Protokol 27. juni 1600: «Vii capitel wdj Staffuanger etc. kiendis etc., att den 27. junij, offueruerendis erlig oc velact mand Peder Trane paa sin broders Christen Tranis, kong: mats foget wdj Staffuangers leen, vegne, ...». I Povel Tranes stambok framgår det at Peder Trane var hans [Povels Povels] salig fars halvbror. Det finnes foreløpig ikke nok opplysninger om Peder Trane som kan bidra til å estimere et tilnærmet nøyaktig fødselsår. Han kan teoretisk sett være født når som helst mellom 1535 og 1555. De få opplysninger som er kjent om hans karriere og hans barn, taler imidlertid for at hans fødselsår mest sannsynlig må være mellom 1545-1555. Kielland, skriver at Peder Trane og Karine havde flg. børn: En datter, gift med en Hans (begge døde før 20. juni 1631, og efterlod sig en datter gift med Mathias Hanssen paa Spiklevik, Søndmøre, samt Peder Hanssen og Simen Hanssen); Christen Pedersen Trane (var død 1631 og havde efterladt Børn); Michel Pedersen Trane; Margrethe Pedersdatter Trane (skifte 24. okt. 1670). - O.M.Kinnapel (1978) har endnu to børn: Knut Pedersen Trane, bosat i Vegsund og Ingeborg Pedersdatter Trane, gift med skredder i Trondheim Tøger Nielsen. Men ifølge et utrykt dipl. 20. juni 1631 (som Kielland har set) er flg. personer opført som arvinger til en gård [hvem er det de arver?, og hvilken gård?]: Michel Pedersen Trane, Christen Pedersen Trane, Margrethe Pedersdatter Trane, Mathias Hansens hustru og hustruens to brødre Peder og Simen Hansen. Gift _____med Karine Michelsdatter Død omkring 1630 Karine, boede 1603 i Stvgr., levede endnu 1626. [Kielland kender ikke hennes efternavn]. [Gift 1° med Peder (Christensen ?)

Som det framgår av sitatet «Christen Trane vides at have været gift to Gange», mente altså Kielland [Axel Kielland: Familien Kielland med dens kognatiske ... (1897), s. 223] at Christen og Peder (samt Else) hadde en felles far som hette Christen Trane. Selv om de to halvbrødrene Christen og Peder Trane til nå ikke er funnet nevnt med farsnavn noe sted, verken i norske eller danske kilder, er det allikevel sannsynlig at deres far hadde navnet Christen. Ett indisium på dette er at både Christen og Peder Trane hadde en sønn med navnet Christen, ett annet at i Christen Tranes segl [se fig. 4 i artikelen] finnes bokstavene C. C.1 Nye undersøkelser av danske kildeskrifter som dekker 1500-tallet har brakt to menn med navnet Christen Trane fram i lyset. Begge to finner vi i København. Den 4. april 1542 får vi opplyst at en Christen Trane [Christiern Tranne] bodde i en av universitetets gårder i Vandmøllestrædet [Kj%C3%B8benhavns Diplomatarium, bd. 6, s. 35]. Ut av sammenhengen ser det ut til at han i 1542 overlater huset til en annen [Anders Nielsen Bager]. Teoretisk sett kunne denne Christen Trane gjerne være Christen og Peder Tranes far, men i mangel av bevis må man foreløpig bare anse det for en hypotese. Tidspunktet kunne for øvrig passe vel overens med at han i 1542 kan ha vært enkemann. Som nevnt var Christen C. Trane født i 1533 og hans halvbror Peder var trolig født noe seinere, mellom 1545-1555. At Christen Trane i København nå flyttet kunne i så fall kanskje ha sammenheng med at han giftet seg på ny og at han sammen med sin nye kone kan ha flyttet ut av byen. Tar man utgangspunkt i at vanlige folk som regel ikke flyttet så veldigt langt, kunne man gjette på at han kanskje kan ha slått seg ned et eller annet sted på Sjælland eller i Malmø.1 I 1582 finner vi også at en Christen Trane betalte leie av en gård eller en grunn «Ved Vollen» i København, som var eid av «hellig Gesthuus hospital». I en «Jordbog paa kiøbstedtz goidz til hellig Gesthuus hospital» finner vi denne innførselen: «Ved Vollenn. Michel Fyrbøder viij marck. Hanns Mynther xij marck. Christenn Trane ix marck.» [Kj%C3%B8benhavns Diplomatarium, bd. 1, s. 524].1 Ettersom disse to Christen Trane nevnes med hele 40 års mellomrom, synes det lite sannsynlig at det kan være samme mann. Det må i så fall innebære at det finnes en Christen Trane i København samtidig med Christen Trane i Stavanger [1533-1600 1533-1600], men det kunne teoretisk sett også være Christen Trane i Stavanger som her kan ha betalt leie [i København år 1582] på en annens vegne (, for eksempel sin stemor eller hittil ukjente søsken).1

Christen Trane var antagelig bosatt i Viborg og var gift 2 ganger. Flere av hans barn kom til Norge: sønnen Christen Christenson Trane var foged og gift med lagmann Nils Jonsons datter Magdalena, Peder Christenson Trane var sorenskriver i Hardanger og Voss.

Christen (Christiern) Christensen Trane, f. 1533, 5. aug. 1573 Jørgen Daaes Foged paa Utstein Kloster og senere Kgl. Foged over Ryfylke, Jæderen og Daleren. Død i Stavanger 12. juli 1600. Hans Epitafium fandtes i Stavanger Domkirke indtil dennes Restauration i 1860 Aarene.2
Christen Trane var etter Magdalenes død gift for 2. gang (belagt 1593). Vi kan foreløpig ikke påvise hvem av Christen Tranes to koner som var mor til hans barn.3
Gift 1° _____med Magdalene Nilsdatter

Ifølge en våbenbog skulle Christen Trane have været gift med Magdalene Nilsdatter.

Gift 2° _____med Karine Povelsdatter

... Brevet opplyser elles m.a. at kona til Kristen Trane i 1593 heitte «Karrine Pouelssdaatter», og talar to stader om «thieris børnn» eller «theris barnn». Eg peikar på dette av di det vanleg har vori lært at kona til Kristen Trane og mor til borna hans var Magdalena Nilsdotter, dotter til lagmannen Nile Jonsson eller Jensson, som var av Losna-ætta (Valdres-greina). Opplysninga om at Magdalena Nilsdotter var gift med Kristen Trane, står i ei gamal våpenbok og kan vel i seg sjølv vera rett. Men våpenboka seier ikkje noko om at Magdalena var mor til borna hans. Så framt ho er identisk med den «Gammel Magdalena» som er nemnd i Stavanger 1605 og 1606 (A. Kielland, Familien Kielland. s. 223), kan samanhengen vera den at Kristen Trane har vorti enkjemann og har gift seg med Magdalena Nilsdotter på sine gamle dagar."4

Mye taler imidlertid for at Karine Povelsdatter overlevde sin mann (som døde 1600) og er identisk med den Karine Povelsdatter Trane som ca 1602 giftet seg med rådmann i Stavanger Søfren Jensen (Landgrav) fra Voss. Magdalena Nielsdatter må således være Christen Tranes første kone i et tidlig og barnløst ekteskap. Det passer også godt med at en datter er oppkalt etter henne.5
[Gift 1° med Christen C(hristensen) Trane (1533 - 12 jul. 1600); Gift 2° med Søfren Jensen (Landgrav)].

Christen Christensson Thrane b. 1528, m. (1) Magdalena Nilsdotter, m. (2) Karine Povelsdotter. Christen died 1600. He was in 1573 bailiff in the town Stavanger, Norway, and later on he became royal bailiff above Rogaland county. Some genealogists have dated his birth to 1533.

Christen Trane kom trolig til Norge i begynnelsen av 1570-årene. Noen av hans søsken slo seg også ned i Stavanger-området. Den 5. august 1573 er han nevnt første gang som Jørgen Daas fogd på Utstein Kloster. Jørgen Daa var lensherre for Utstein Klosters jordegods. Fra 1588 er Christen Trane rådmann i Stavanger, og det er han fremdeles ved kongehyllingen i 1591. Fra 1591 til 1599 var han fogd i Stavanger len d.v.s. Ryfylke og Jæren. Han drev det også stort som kjøpmann i Stavanger. Han var en av byens ledende borgere og handlet bl.a. med varer som han selv importerte. Han eide skip og flere hus. Han bodde på Skagen i Stavanger, der han kjøpte en større eiendom av Tord Benkestokk. I 1579 inngikk han en kontrakt med kannikene i Stavanger om leie av Domkapitlets part av laksefisket på Sele for en årlig avgift på 85 riksdaler så lenge han var i tjeneste for Jørgen Daa. Det var Utstein Kloster som eide den andre parten av fisket. Christen Tranes epitafium (minnetavle) fantes i Stavanger domkirke før kirken ble restaurert i 1860-årene.

Han var gift to ganger, først med Magalena Nilsdatter og så med Karen Povelsdatter. Det er ikke kjent hvem av dem som var mor til Christens barn, men i en artikkel i Ætt og Heim 2000 gjør Randi Rostrup greie for hvorfor det er mest sannsynlig at Karen i alle fall var mor til Christen, Povel og Kirsten. Christens sønn Povel Christensen Trane var sokneprest i Nes på Romerike. Blant etterkommerne hans er komponisten Waldemar Trane og arbeiderføreren Marcus Thrane.

“ Christen ble i 1573 Jørgen Daas fogd på Ulstein kloster. Senere var han kongelig fogd i Ryfylke, Jæren og Dalene, og videre nevnt i brev den 18.03.1593 sammen med sin hustru Karin, da de underskrev skjøte på halve Ytre Skagen gård i Stavanger. Hans "Epitafium" fantes i Stavanger domkirke inntil dennes restaurasjon i 1860-årene, og på det sto det bl.a. at han var 72 år gammel da han døde i 1600.”

Studerede i København før 1646

Christen Trane kom til Norge i begynnelsen av 1570-årene, trolig fra Danmark. Den 5/8 1573 er han første gang nevnt som Jørgen Daas fogd på Utstein kloster,(1) fra 1588 som rådmann i Stavanger.(2) Det var han også ved kongehyllingen 1591, da han den 13/4 ble nevnt som «Christiern Tranne» sammen med andre av Stavangers rådmenn og borgere.(3) Senere samme år var han blitt kongens fogd i Stavanger len,(4) et embede han hadde til sommeren 1599, da han må ha sagt det fra seg.(5) I tillegg drev han det stort som kjøpmann. Han var en av byens ledende borgere, eide skip, flere hus og drev en omfattende handel med bl.a. import av varer fra utlandet.(6) Christen Trane døde som borger i Stavanger «civis Stavangriensis» den 12/7 1600, 67 år gammel.(7) Noen av hans søsken slo seg også ned i Stavangerområdet.

Først omkring 1570 merker vi innflytningen fra Danmark, og nå kommer menn som skulle bli byens fremste. Christen Trane var en av dem: jevngammel med magister, senere biskop, Jørgen Erikssøn og fra Jylland som han. Trane står som målsmann for et miljø. En sterk gruppe av innvandrere som hovedsaklig gifter seg inn i norske ledende ætter. Også disse innvandrere er handelens pionerer. Det er en tydelig kløft mellom Tranemiljøets kulturlag og det øvrige i byen. Tiden viser et tynt overklasseskikt som er sterkt preget av impulser de bragte med fra sitt kontinentale hjemland eller fikk ved sine andelskontakter. For initiativ og framsyn, kulturglede og kunstsans eide de. Christen Trane kom til Stavanger meget nær 1570. Han ble først gift med en Karine Povelsdatter - hvem hun var vet vi ikke, men vel kjent i byen nå var Povel Pedersøn skriver, sannsynligvis også jyde. Senere ble Trane gift med Magdalena, datter av Stavangers lagmann fra 1550, Nils Jonsson av Losnaætten. I 1573 finner vi Trane som Utsteins fogd, siden som kongens over Stavanger len i Christoffer Valkendorfs fravær. Trane sitter i byrådet fra 1587. Det var en del av de ledende borgeres erverv å importere øl - Trane ble desidert den største importøren. Av de 278 tønner som ble importert 1595-98 falt 86 på ham. 17 andre importører delte resten. Han drev direkte handel på England omkring 1590, og hans handel må ha vært i stor stil. I hans korrespondanse med Valkendorf, da denne var Danmarks hovmester, omtales sendinger til 1800 dlr. Ved kjøp av bygrunn i 1593 ga han selgerens hustru en ny brun engelsk kjortel i kjøpegave, 7 dlr. var den verd. Hans stue tjenestgjør som rettslokale. Selv er han meddommer i de største rettssaker Ryfylke og byen kjenner i hans tid. Han deltar i byens klagedeputasjoner til stattholderen og i hyllingene til kongen. Fra sluttet av 1590-årene forteller kildene at stavangerne ikke lenger opptrer enkeltvis med hver sin lille jakt. Trane, borgermesteren Christen Nilsson og rådmannen Eiler Brynning går sammen om å kjøpe et skip på 40 lester av en skipsbygger på Lista. En rostocker, Dirich Wallemand, blir fjerdemann i partsrederiet, som startet med 270 daler. Det ble foresten stor strid om skipet. Ikke holdt det mer enn 30 lester, ikke ble det ferdig til fastsatt dag, i snaue 3 måneder måtte redernes sjøfolk vente på verven, og rederne måtte ut med kost og full hyre hele ventetiden. Siden en rostocker er med i partsrederiet, er det trolig dette er en tysklandsfarer. Christen Trane fikk seg hus sør for Mortensgård - like ved Torget - og kjøpte i 1581 Nygård av Tord Benkestok; av enken etter Rosenkrantz kjøpte Trane en tomt på sørsiden Av Mortensgård opp mot sitt eget hus. I 1591 kjøpte han resten av Benkestokkenes eiendom og i 1593 både Laurits Anderssons og Eivind Johanssons eiendommer. I løpet av få år hadde han med andre ord samlet en vesentlig del av Skagen under seg. Så sent som i 1671 var grunnleien av Sem og Sandvigs grunner 58 rdl. Disse tomtene og muligens noen mindre i tillegg utgjorde nettopp det gamle Skagen.? Borgermesteren Christen Nilsson, rådmannen Christen Trane og byfogd Hans utgjør stattholder deputasjonen i 1590. Til hyllingen av Christian 4. i Oslo 1591 reiste Christen Nilsson, Trane og den annen rådmann Eiler Speckmand foruten de to fornemme borgere, Egbert Jesperssøn og Willum Jonssøn. De bragte med seg byens hyllingsbrev til kongen, på pergament og kunstnerisk utført. Blant de 12 medunderskrivere finner vi også gullsmedbyfogden.

Christ en Trane var foged i Ryfylke, Jæderen og Dalerne. Hans epitaphium fandtes i Stavanger Domkirke. Familien Trane indtog i det 16.de og 17.de århundrede den første plads i Stavanger, idet flere af byens embedsmænd og mest fremragende handelsmænd tilhørte den, på samme tid som den ejede betydeligt jordegods i Stavanger Amt og var besvogret med flere af distriktets adelige familier og medlemmer af den højere embedsstand. Dens våben var: i skjoldet en gylden trane holdende en gylden kugle i den venstre klo og på hjelmen en gylden trane. (Kilde: Det kgl. Bibliotek: Axel Chr. Z. Kielland: Familien Kielland. Stavanger 1878)

Thrane, norsk slekt som stammer fra fogd og rådmann i Stavanger Christen Christensen Trane (ca. 1530–1600). Hans sønnesønns sønn Holger Samuelsen Trane var far til bl.a. Bente Sophie Holgersdatter Trane (1685–1758), og dennes datter Elisabeth Sophie Olsdatter Trane (1722–1800), som var gift med sersjant Ole Johannesen på Foss i Enebakk, ble mor til justisråd Paul Olsen Thrane (1751–1830), kjøpmann og stadshauptmann i Christiania, eier av Borregård m.m. Blant hans 22 barn var riksbankdirektør David Thrane (1780–1832) og komponisten Waldemar Thrane (1790–1828). David Thrane var far til arbeiderlederen Marcus Møller Thrane (1817–90).

Stavanger Borgerbog s. 8. ca. 1570-1580. Christen Christensen Trane, f. 1533 formentlig i Viborg; var raadmand 1588, Død 12. jul. 1600. g. Magdalena Nilsdatter, datter af lagmand Nils Jonsen.

About George B Tribble, Sr
1714 deed from Daniel Brown to William Covington, recorded Essex Co., VA on 13 May 1714. George Tribble is witness to this deed. 1722 Spotsylvania Co., VA records, George Tribble purchased land from Larkin Chew. George being described as George Trible of King and Queen County. He was also a witness to four other deeds of Larkin Chew in the same year. George Tribble always signed his name rather than using a mark on the above deeds. 1725 The land in Spotsylvania County is sold and George is described as "George Trible of King and Queen County."

1733 George starts appearing in records of Caroline Co., VA. It is not clear whether George moved to Caroline Co. or was living in King and Queen on land that bacame a part of Caroline when the latter was formed in 1727.

14 feb 1735, Will of Abraham Browne was presented in Caroline Co., VA by Mary Browne and Daniel Browne., executrix and executor, thereto. The will was proved by the oaths of George Tribble and Dinah T ribble, witnesses to the will. At the Caroline Co., Court of 14 Mar 1735, Mary Browne, mother of John Browne, petitioned administration of John Browne's estate. 14 feb 1735, Caroline Co., VA. George and Dinah Tribble prove the will of Abraham Brown, as witnesses. Executrix of the will was Mary Brown, wife of Abraham, and probably sister of George Tribble. 1738 Mary Browne is an heir in the will of her father.

The last Caroline Order Book entry that definitely pertains to George Tribble is on 4 Jul 1752. This entry is a suit of attachment by Peter Copeland against the estate of George Tribble. The attachmen t was delivered into the hands of John Dyer, Jr., John Sutton, and George Tribble, Jr. John Dyer, Jr. (probably a son-in-law of George Tribble, Sr.) and George Tribble, Jr. (probably a son of George T ribble, Sr.) appeared in court and declared that they had such items as bottles, axes, plates, tubs, bedsteads, etc. which were ordered to be sold to satisfy the judgement. Because George Tribble, Sr. was not referred to as deceased, he must have moved out of the county. Subsequent Order Book entries (the next one is in Feb 1756) do not use the suffix Jr. or Sr. when referringto George Tribble. It is probable that George Tribble, Sr. had moved to Brunswick or Halifax County with his sons Shadrach, John, and Peter in the early 1750s.

George Tribble is described as a pensioner in Nov 1765 and Oct 1766 in t he Vestry Book of Antrim parish, Halifax County, Virginia. In 1771, a list of land surveys which had been conducted by Rob. Wooding includes one survey on 7 Dec 1769 for George Tribble for 400 acres on Bull Creek. The date and place of death of George Tribble, Sr. has not been determined although it was probably circa 1770 in Halifax County, Virginia.

From The Saga of Harald Hårfagri (Fairhair), Snorri Sturluson:

"In this war fell Ivar, a son of Ragnvald, Earl of More; and King Harald gave Ragnvald, as a compensation for the loss, the Orkney and Shetland isles, when he sailed from the West; but Ragnvald immediately gave both these countries to his brother Sigurd, who remained behind them; and King Harald, before sailing eastward, gave Sigurd the earldom of them. Thorstein the Red, a son of Olaf the White and of Aud the Wealthy, entered into partnership with him; and after plundering in Scotland, they subdued Caithness and Sutherland, as far as Ekkjalsbakke (Kyle of Sutherland). Earl Sigurd killed Melbridge Tooth, a Scotch earl, and hung his head to his stirrup-leather; but the calf of his leg were scratched by the teeth, which were sticking out from the head, and the wound caused inflammation in his leg, of which the earl died, and he was laid in a mound at Ekkjalsbakke. His son Guthorm ruled over these countries for about a year thereafter, and died without children. Many vikings, both Danes and Northmen, set themselves down then in those countries."

Eudo’s son, Alan Rufus, was commander of the invading forced provided by Eudo, and he was a close associate of William the Conqueror. On October 14, 1066 William’s army of Normans defeated the British at the Battle of Hastings and he was crowned King William I.

Middleham Castle
Alan Rufus died without issue and gave his brother Ribald property including some overlooking Middleham in Yorkshire. Robert FR , grandson of Ribald and heir to the property started construction of a castle there. It was 210 by 180 feet, with a deep moat, located overlooking the Ure River between Masham and Leyburn in Yorkshire. Following the English Civil War and the beheading of King Charles I, there was much destruction of churches and castles across England. Middleham Castle was partly destroyed in that process.

Spennithorne
Spennithorne was a parish at the lower end of Wensleydale, Nottinghamshire, on the North bank of the Ure River. Ribald came into possession of Spennithorne by grant from Alan Rufus and it stayed in the family for many generations. Around the middle of the 13th century it was given to Ranulph, who founded the family of Fitz Randall or Fitz Randolph of Spennithorne.

19. Christopher Fitz Randolph of Langton Hall in the Parish of Kirkby-in-Ashfield in the County of Nottingham. He married Jane Langton, daughter of Culthbert Langton of Langton Hall, Kirkby-in-Ashfield and of Middleham in the County of Warwick. Their marriage was recorded in a contract dated 1514. Jane was executrix of her husband’s estate, whose will was proved April 2, 1574 when she was listed as a widow.

11.

Nottingham (d 1516). See note to this pedigree; Fitz Randolph pedigree in British Museum Add. Mss. 6705, f58b, begins with this John).
12. CHRISTOPHER FITZ RANDOLPH, b. c. 1495, d. sh. bef. 26 Apr. 1670 (adminstration granted on that date to his widow Jane and eldest son Thomas); doubtless came to Kirkby-in-Ashfield, co Nottingham, because of his uncle Christopher Fitz Randolph, parson of that place, who d. 1516 leaving a will dated 1 Jun 1516 of which the nephew Christopher was named as one of the executors; m. by contract dated 1514 to Jane (or Joan) Langton, dau. and heiress of Cuthbert Langton of Langton Hall in the parish of Kirkby-in-Ashfield. Jane was b. c. 1499, d. betw. 30 July 1573 (date of will) and 2 Apr. 1574 (probate). (NEHGR, 97: 296, 99: 335-336; Brit. Museum Add. Mss. 6705: f58b; Add. Mss. 6707: v1O2; Harl. Mss. 1400: 58, 58b; Thoroton, Antiquities of Nottinghamshire, 2: 296; Harl. Soc. Publ., 4: 187. L.V.F. Randolph, FitzRandolph Traditions, mentions Christopher Fitz Randolph and Jane Langton many times, but this book regrettably contains many errors; Whitaker, Richmondshire II, p. 46).
13. CHRISTOPHER FITZ RANDOLPH, b. c. 1530, bur. at Sutton-in-Ashfield, co. Nottingham, 28 June 1588 (this is the correct date of burial from original paper Parish Register of Sutton-in-Ashfield. The date was incorrectly copied as "7 Jun 1589" in late parchment copy of original Register, and wrong date from copy was unfortunately printed in the NEHGR, 97: 298). Christopher was his parents' fourth son, and was named in his mother's will, dated 30 July 1573. His own will, dated 20 June 1588, was proved 1 Apr. 1589 in the Peculiar Court of the Manor of Mansfield (Notts. County Record Office, D.D.P. 17/69). Christopher's wife, who predeceased him, was not named in his will. He had four sons, James, Anthony, Edward and Christopher, named in the will.
14. EDWARD FITZ RANDOLPH, b. c. 1565, d. betw. 13 Aug. 1647 (dated of will) and 27 Oct. 1647 (probate). He was prob. b. at Hucknall-under-Huthwaite in the parish of Sutton-in-Ashfield, co. Nottingham, and moved aft. 1621 to Kirsall in the Parish of Kneesall, co. Nottingham, where he died. He was the 3rd son named in his father's will, and was prob. the nephew Edward named in the will of his uncle Thomas Fitz Randolph, 21 May 1600. (NEHGR, 97: 297). He m. (1) at Sutton-in-Ashfield, 16 Nov. 1589, Alice Tompson, bur. there 27 Dec. 1604. He m. (2) at Sutton-in-Ashfield, 17 Dec. 1605, Frances Howls, apparently a native of the parish of Kneesall, co. Nottingham, bur. at Kneesall 7 June 1631 (NEHGR 97: 298; Transcript of the Parish Registers of Kneesall; original will of Edward Fitz Randolph at York Probate Registry, in which he bequeathed ten pounds sterling to his son Edward "if he cum to demand it.")
15. EDWARD FITZ RANDOLPH (son of the 2nd marriage), the emigrant to New England and eventual settler in New Jersey, bp. at Sutton-in-Ashfield, co. Nottingham, 5 July 1607, emigrated 1630 to Scituate, Mass., then moved to Barnstable, Cape Cod, and finally to Piscataway, N.J., where he d. c. 1684/5. He m. at Scituate, 10 May 1637, Elizabeth Blossom, b. at Leyden, Netherlands, 1620, d. at Piscataway, c. 1713, having remarried, 30 June 1685, Capt. John Pike. (NEHGR 97: 275-276, 298; 99: 335-336; Louise Aymar Christian and Howard Stelle Fitz Randolph, Fitz Randolph Genealogy, 5).
Note: Although this line is probably sound, attention should be drawn to other evidences. C.T. Clay, Early Yorkshire Charters, 5: 303, say that Ranulf Fitz Robert "is said to have married Mary daughter of Roger Bigod earl of Norfolk" (see above, Generation 2). Mary definitely brought the lands of Menethorpe, co York, to her husband in gift of frank-marriage, which lands had previously been held by Roger Bigod (ibid., footnote 4 and authorities there cited). Moreover, the careful pedigree in the Genealogist, n.s., 3: 33, gives Mary as daughter of Roger Bigod.
The weakest link is that which connects Generations 10 and 11 (above). John Fitz Randolph (Generation 10) was succeeded at Spennithorne by his eldest son Sir Ralph Fitz Randolph (b.c. 1444, d. 1517) who married Elizabeth Scrope, daughter of Sir Thomas Scrope, 5th Lord Scrope of Masham. They had a son John Fitz Randolph (who d. in 1517 shortly after his father, and was the last of the Fitz Randolphs of Spennithorne), and five daughters, Elizabeth, Alice, Mary, Dorothy, and Agnes, who were coheiresses of their brother John at his death in 1517 (Surtees Soc. Publ., 133: 24). In 1514 Christopher Fitz Randolph (Generation 12) was married by contract to Jane Langton. Two of the feoffees of the marriage contract were John Fitz Randolph, heir of Spennithorne, mentioned above, and his brother-in-law Sir Nicholas Strelley of Linby, co. Nottingham, husband of Elizabeth Fitz Randolph, the eldest of the five Spennithorne coheiresses. It is presumed that John Fitz Randolph and Strelley were feoffees because the bride-groom, Christopher Fitz Randolph, was John's first cousin and Strelley's first-cousin-in-law (see discussion by Anthony R. Wagner, Richmond Herald, in NEHGR 99: 335-336).
We also know that Christopher Fitz Randolph (Generation 12) had an uncle, Christopher Fitz Randolph, parson of Kirkby-in-Ashfield, co. Nottingham, who was presented to that living 3 Mar. 1489/90 by Sir John Conyers, Knt., of Hornby Castle, co. York, who had acquired the advowson. Christopher Fitz Randolph, the parson made a will dated 1 June 1516, proved 17 July 1516, of which his nephew Christopher (Generation 12) was one of the executors. Christopher the parson unfortunately did not mention his kinsmen of the Spennithorne line in this will.
We further know that John Fitz Randolph (Generation 10) married Joan Conyers, eldest daughter of Sir Christopher Conyers, Knt., lord of Hornby Castle, co. York (Raine, Testamenta Eboracenses, 3: 228; Conyers pedigree in J.W. Clay, Extinct and Dormant Peerages of the Northern Counties of England, 32-33). Joan (Conyers) Fitz Randolph was living, a widow, 22 June 1483, when she was named in the will of that date of her brother Christopher Conyers, Rector of Rudby, co. York (Raine, Test. Ebor., 3: 287). We think (but cannot prove) that John Fitz Randolph (Generation 10) and his wife Joan Conyers had, in addition to their eldest son and heir Sir Ralph, younger sons named Richard, John, and Christopher, and a daughter Margery who married John Burgh of East Hawkswell, co. York (for the Burghs, see Whitaker, Richmondshilre, 347). Of the above-named three younger sons, we suppose that John was the John Fitz Randolph (Generation 11), while Christopher was the parson of Kirkby-in-Ashfield, named for his grandfather and uncle, each named Christopher Conyers. If this connection be correct, as we believe, it would explain why Sir John Conyers of Hornby (eldest son of Sir Christopher and brother of Joan (Conyers) Fitz Randolph) acquired the advowson of Kirkby-in-Ashfield and presented Christopher Fitz Randolph (whom we believe to have been Sir John's nephew) to that living. It may be noted in passing that the given name Christopher entered the Fitz Randolph family through the marriage to Joan Conyers in the fifteenth century and continued as a given name in that family for over two centuries. Edward[1] Fitz Randolph's (Generation 15) eldest surviving son Nathaniel[2] had an eldest son John[3] who had an eldest son Christopher[4], b. at Woodbridge, N.J., 23 Feb. 1682 (L.A. Christian and H.S.F. Randolph, FitzRandolph Genealogy, 9).
Bearing in mind the possibilities that Mary Bigod (Generation 2) may not have been the wife of Randulf fitz Robert, and that John Fitz Randolph Generation 11) may not have been a younger son of John Fitz Randolph (Generation 10), even though we think that those connections are correct, we have presented the above pedigree.

About Thwaite Strickland
It is indicated that records of Dedham, Massachusetts show that Thwaite Strickland was a signer of the 1635 Covenant that established Dedham and was an original settler there. Dedham is on the Charles river, near presentday Boston. Thwaite received two grants of land in Dedham (one a grant of six acres of planting land, Oct 27,1640), and was presumably a farmer there for the next 26 years. His name appears on the Dedham tax lists until 1661."

Disputed Origins
The origins of Thwaite Strickland are not clearly established. Many have reported him as a possible son of Sgt. John Strickland, a 1630 Puritan landholder in Charleston, but documentaion of such is lacking. He has benn variously called Thwaite, Thwait, Thait, Thwaits, Thwaites, and I suppose other variations, but I have never seen a prefix as in xxxthwaite. This name was not continued in his subsequent descendents, with the primary name of the male descendents being John or a variation thereof (Jonathan, Joseph)

Grt Mig Beg: "There is not the slightest reason to assume any connection between Thwaite and John Strickland except that they were born with the same surname." -- Jacobus, TAG vol 21

"I don't think there is a chance that Thwaite Strickland was a son of John Strickland of Jamaica. Probably you are familiar with the Strickland notes I published in American Genealogist, Vol. 19, pp44-45; Vol 20, pp207-212, and Vol. 21, pp85-92. In writing these, I had the benefit of the long article by Herbert Seversmith on John Strickland and his sons-in-law in Vol. II of my magazine, was aided by Dr. Robert Furman who had made a study of the Furman-Strickland connections and had dug in original sources of Long Island, and I put a great deal of study into the problems involved. I think the conclusions I published concerning John Strickland, his supposed brother Edmund, and Thwaite, can be sustained. There is no evidence whatever that John Strickland had more than three surviving children: (1) a daughter that married John Lum (not, Loanus, the name is spelled Loame in Strickland's will and was Lome in England, (2) a daughter who married John Smith, (3) a daughter who married Samuel Matthews. He may have had a fourth daughter, Elizabeth, wife of Jonas Wood "Oram". (Joanna wife of Jonas Wood "Halifax" was definitely not his daughter).

Thwaite Strickland had no connection of any kind with John and never at any time lived in any town where John had lived.

About William Carter, Sr.

March 1622/23 William Carter first appears in the records of James City County. He with some other young men were brought to account for killing and eating a calf (Journal of the Council and Gen. Ct of VA, pp3-4).

In 1624 he was single and living on James City Island. ca 1625/29 he married possibly two of his three wives. Either #1 Avis Turtley or #2 Ann Mathis was the one whom the court
reprimanded in 1629 for calling "Cozen Gray's wife" a whoore" (Journals, pp 197-98).

By 20 May 1636 he was married in Surry Co VA to his third wife Alice Croxon of London. He had died by 1655.

Death: BEF AUG 1655 in Surry County, Virginia Note:

From Boddie, Isle of Wight County, Virginia Page 305.
"William Carter of London, born 1600, married Alice Croxon of London. William died in Surry in 1654."

From Boddie, Virginia Historical Genealogies Page 295
William Carter grandfather of Elizabeth Carter the wife of Robert Crafford appeared before the Council and General Court on March 01, 1622/23 and several times thereafter. On May 20, 1636 he patented 700 acres in James City, 50 acres being due for his personal adventure of his first wife, Avis Turtley, 50 for his second wife Anne Mathis, and 50 for his third wife Alice Croxton. This and later patents totaled 1000 acres.

William Carter had land that was next to that of Major Robert Sheppard.

Virginia Land Patent Book Book 1, part 1, page 359 Dated 20 May 1636
William Carter 700 acres James City County about 3 miles from the James River beginning at a reedy swamp, butting Easterly upon the same, Southerly into the main woods, and Westerly upon the Rich Neck and Sunken Marsh and Northerly upon the James River. 50 acres for the personal adventure of his first wife Avis Turtley, 50 acres for the personal adventure of his second wife Ann Mathis, and 50 acres for the personal adventure of his now wife Alice Croxon and 550 acres for the transportation of 11 servants: William Anderson, Andrew Robinson, Richard Cooke, Frank Bick, Richard Bick, Alice Watkins, Alice Johnson, Elizabeth Johnson, Henry Snow, Nicholas Burnett, Edward Bland.
Note: Surrendered and renewed by Sir John Harvey

In a deposition made in Surry County, Virginia 02 May 1654, William Carter stated he was 54 years of age and that his wife Alice Croxon was aged 55.

From the Carters of Virginia by Noel Currer-Briggs, 1979, Phillimore Publishing Company, page 12-13.
WILLIAM CARTER was granted two tracts, both dated 20 May 1636 in Surry County. The first was for 700 acres three miles south of the James River between the head of Lower Chippokes Creek and the Sunken Marsh, now known as College Run. The second grant, of 100 acres, adjoined the first and the land of Robert Sheppard. The probable location of this land was to the west of Bacons Castle and the ruins of Lawnes Creek (or Southwark) Church, to the south of the modern Route 10 in the neighbourhood of California Cross roads. It was bounded in the east by the head waters of Lower Chippokes Creek. On thee west of this tract his neighbour was Stephen Webb, who in the 23 years between 1635 and 1658 amassed a tract of 3,500 acres. As "Stephen Webb of James City in Virginia, planter aged 39" he appeared as a witness in June 1638 along with John Carter of Corotoman in the case of the Elizabeth, about which more will be said below. He lost three servants in the incident and sustained damage of L450. He was a man of a substance and paid for his own passage to the Colony some time before June 1635, the year of his first grant.

William Carter was probably born in 1600; thus he was of approximately the same age as his neighbour Stephen Webb; he died during the summer of 1655. He had three wives - Avis Turtley, Ann Mathis, and Alice Croxon who survived him. He is recorded as a servant living in Jamestown Island in the 1624/5 Muster, but does not appear in the one of 1623/4 or in Sir Francis Wyatt's return of landowners in 1625. He had at least two children, William Jr., the exact date of whose death is unknown but it was between August and November 1655; and George, who was probably born early in 1639 and who died in 1671. William Jr., was born about 1634 or 1635 and was the son of one of the first two wives. After his death, his estate was split up, part of it being granted to Samuel Huby and John Carter of Corotoman jointly. The precise identity of William has not yet been established, but the Virginia evidence strongly suggests kinship with John Carter of Corotoman and Thomas Carter of Isle of Wight County.

The above evidence clearly shows that William Carter was related to John Carter of Carotoman who was the father of Robert 'King' Carter.

Abram (Abraham) Alexander Rohrer, Sr., son of John Rohrer and Anna Barbara Weidman, and grandson of Jacques or Johannes Rohrer and Barbara Kuntz, was probably born in Lancaster County, PA (now Lebanon, PA). He was born on July 9, 1765 and died in Pittsylvania County, VA on June 20, 1830. He was married to Nancy Cook, daughter of the land developer, Harmon Cook on August 11, 1789 shortly after arriving in Pittsylvania County, VA. Nancy was born on January 20, 1770 and died April 28, 1861. Together they had ten or eleven children.This family dropped the H from their Rohrer name and all their descendants used the name RORER. Two of their children, John and George, moved to Caldwell County, Kentucky and apparently raised families there. Another son, David Rorer, became an attorney and ended up as a prominent judge in Burlington, Iowa, where he was apparently active in politics and helped Iowa to become a state. Most of the rest of their children remained in Pittsylvania County, where they raised their families and some of their offspring continue to live.

The following deed conveys 489 acres of land from Harmon Cook to Abraham Rohrar in 1796. From the Pittsylvania Court House in Chatham, VA in Volume 10 page 451.

This Indenture made the -- day of -- in the year of our Lord Christ one thousand seven hundred and ninety six Between Harmon Cooke of Pittsylvania County and State of Virginia of the one part Abraham Rohrer of the said County and State of the other part Witnesseth that the said Harmon Cooke for and in consideration of the sum of one hundred pounds to him in hand paid by the said Abraham Rohrer, the receipt whereof the said Harmon Cooke doth hereby acknowledge, he the said Harmon Cooke hath granted,bargained, sold, aliened and confirmed and by these presents doth grant, bargain, sell, alien, and confirm unto the said Abraham Rohrar his heirs and assigns forever all that piece, parcel or tract of land situate lying and being in the County of Pittsylvania on the East side of the Pigg River, and bounded as follows VIZ Beginning at John Smith's corner Beech at said river, thence his lines South thirty three degrees East fifty eight poles to a Pine, South forty seven degrees East sixty nine poles to a red Oak, thence North seventy one degrees East twenty nine poles crossing a branch to pointers, thence New lines South forty eight degrees East one hundred and ninety four poles to a PINE North seventy five degrees East sixty four poles to pointers South sixty one degrees East thirty six poles to a Black Oak by Linch Burg great road, thence new dividing lines South eighty six degrees East forty two poles to a post Oak thence South thirty one degrees East fifty eight poles crossing a branch to a post Oak, South twenty eight degrees West sixty four poles to a white Oak, thence South seventy eight degrees West forty poles to a red Oak by Pigg River great road South seventy five degrees West thirty poles to pointers in the old line, thence the same South twenty nine degrees West one hundred and fifty poles to Watson's corner White Oak, thence his line North forty two degrees West two hundred and fifty eight poles crossing a branch to a White Oak by the Great road South Eighty Seven degrees West twenty poles to a black Oak ---------------then 2 lines are blank---------, thence new dividing lines North thirty degrees West one hundred and twenty six poles crossing a branch to a black Oak ten degrees East one hundred and forty three poles crossing a branch to a pine North fifty one degrees West eighty poles to a Spanish Oak on Pigg River, thence down the river as it meanders to the beginning containing four hundred and eighty nine acres, be the same more or less, and also the said Abraham Rohrar obliges himself by these presents never to sell or trade away the above land to any person or persons whatsoever during the natural life of the said harmon Cooke, and at the death of the said harmon Cooke the said land and premises becmes the said Abraham Rohrar's his heirs and assigns forever/ and also all Trees, Woods, Commons, Profits -- Advantages, Hired alame? & etc, Ways, waters and Appurtenances whatsoever to the said land above mentioned belonging or in anywise appertaining And also the reversion and reversions, remainders, Renband Services of the said land and premises and of every part thereof, And all the Estate, right, title Interest, claim and demand whatsoever of him the said Harmon Cooke of, in and to to the said Land and Premises and every part thereof supposing the said Abraham Rohrar or his Heirs never sells or treads the above Land and Premises during the natural life of the said harmon Cooke To Have and to hold the said land and all and singular the premises above mentioned and every part and parcel thereof with the appertunances thereof unto the said Abraham Rohrar and his heirs to the only proper use and behoof of the said Abraham Rohrar and his Heirs (during natural life of the said Harmon Cooke, then after the death of the said Harmon Cooke) the said Abraham Rohrar his heirs and assigns for ever And the said Harmon Cooke for himself and his heirs the said land and premises and every part thereof against him and his heirs and against all and every other person or persons whatsoever to the said Abraham Rohrar his heirs and assigns, shall and will warrant and forever defend by these presents In Witness whereof the said Harmon Cooke and Mary his wife hath hereunto set their Hands and Seals the day and year first written above.

Appended to this deed is a note that says that this deed was delivered to William C Rorer 6 March 1856. This was apparently William Cook Rorer, Abraham Rohrer's son.

One obvious advantage this family had, due to the marriage to Nancy who was the daughter of a land developer, was that they were able to afford a better education for at least some of their children. This probably explains how David was able to read the law and become an attorney. Public schools were not available in the area at this time.

Abram Rorer and his wife had issue four sons, Rudolph, Charles, David and Abram, Jr. David studied law and removed to Iowa, where he became a distinguished jurist. Abram, Jr. married Mary Wright and settled near his father in the northwestern part of the county. In his will proven September 17, 1855, he named son Ferdinand Rorer and daughters Angeline James, Elvira Harvey, Aquella Ann Lipscomb and Malitta Miller Abram, Sr. was a partner and the overseer of much of the Harmon Cook properties.

Another interesting fact about Abram, Sr. was that he was guardian for the children of a friend, Conrad Grein or Crain, who accompanied him from Pennsylvania to Virginia. Some of their descendants still live in Pittsylvania County, VA.

from the Harmon Cook (Abram Rorer) bible
1804 July Abram Rorer had a mare stole, a gray.

THE HISTORY of PITTSYLVANIA COUNTY VIRGINIA
CHAPTER XVI 1800-1860 TOWN OF COMPETITION--WAR OF 1812--PERIOD OF DEVELOPMENT

In the early years of the county, all elections were held at the courthouse. But as the number of inhabitants increased, for the convenience of the people, other points were named as polling places. In 1823 the General Assembly enacted that a separate election be held at Danville for that part of the county between the North Carolina line and Dan River, "that used to be held at the court house." And in 1829 three other points were named in the county in the following act: "When an election is held in Pittsylvania County, at the same time a separate poll shall be opened at the residence of Abram Rorer, in the northwest part of the county; at the store of Wier and Smith at Mount Airy in the northeast, and the home of Benjamin Walker in the southwest parts of the county."

H. in 1789 in which he named wife Chloe, daughters Lettie, Anne and Jane Shelton, sons Abram, Crispen, (Doctor) Tareour, Frederick, Meacon, Robertson and William..His home was on Buck Branch, near Chalk Level. Dr. Tavenor Shelton was one of the early physicians of the county.

Absaolm and his brother-in-law, James Harbison, volunteered in Botetourt Co., Virginia, in the "faul before the Battle of Cow Pens" in 1780 and served for 6 months. They entered the service of Capt. James Robinson under Major David Campbell's command, and marched to South Carolina. They were within six days' march of the Battle of Cow Pens (17 Jan 1781). They passed over through King's Moutain and then to Hamsour's Mill, crossing down the river to Horse Ford. They heard the guns when Gen. Davidson was killed on the Catawba River. They marched to salisbury in North Carolina, then to Bland Ford on the Yadkin River. They were in a battle with the British where Capt. Henly was taken prisoner. They then were marched to Virginia on the Dan River where they were discharged.

In 1783 he was one of the commisioners who came to the Cumberland District to survey lands set apart by the Legislature for the soldiers of the Continental line and others. He is mentioned as a Justice of the Peace as early as September 1790.

7 Aug 1789, acquired 640 acre tract from William Lee. In land was at the time in Hawkins County, TN near Treadway, TN.

According to an old family Bible William Sandefur was born October 14, 1707. He moved to West Edgecombe County, NC which is now Nash County, with his Arrington kin. He married Mary Tompkins.

Their children were: Martha, Mary, William, Patsy, Ann, Hill, Samuel and Tompkins. In his will, recorded in Southampton Co., Virginia in 1755 he mentioned only his wife, sons Hill, Samuel and the name of Tompkins, a posthumous child. The daughters were not mentioned but are listed in the will of their grandfather, Samuel Tompkins in 1763. Accoring to the Edgecombe Court Minutes in 1772, William Sandifur was appointed administrator of Hill Sandifur decd.

The name Sandefur also appears as Sandiford and Sandifor.

According to one researcher of this family John Wright Stanley was orphaned when he was 17 years old because he was a chronic gambler. Later he relocated to Jamaica and went into partnership with Jonathan Cowpland shipping cargo between Kingston and Philadelphia. Cowpland accused him of falsifying company records and he was sent to jail in Philadelphia for 2 years.

According to Pomp's mother, he was born at home on 24 Mar 1921. The doctor was there and delivered 4 or 5 babies in 2 days. He recorded all of them at one time, apparently confusing the date of Pomp's birth. The record says he was born on the 25th.

According to the source referenced below, Launcelot was kidnapped as a boy in England and brought to Plymouth, where he was sold as an apprentice. After discharge from his servitude he moved to the colony of Massachusetts Bay. He later was said to have returned to England to claim his inheritance. The story goes that while in England, he was told by an old man that there had been frequent robberies on the road he was on, and that he would be safer in the shelter of the old man's cottage. As he headed back toward the cottage, he was accosted by two men who demanded his money. He replied that he had but one crown, barely sufficient to pay his expenses to his friends, and that if they would have his money they would have to fight for it. Thereupon they attacked him with swords, and he defended himself with a quarterstaff, knocking one man down with the butt of it while the other fled. At the next village he made oath before a magistrate as to what had passed and the inhabitants of the village found the man who was slain to have been "one of their 'honest' citizens." When Launcelot arrived at his mother's house, his younger brother was not pleased to see him and hired assassins to dispatch him. They attacked him with swords but he "defended himself so manfully with his quarter-staff that he killed two of them and the other fled." The story goes that he abandoned his inheritance because of the difficulties he encountered, but the author feels that he probably came away with at least a part of it, as he was a man of some means. He goes on to say that, romantic and improbable as the story may seem, there are plausible elements. He notes that Launcelot was a thick-set and sturdy man, capable of defending himself and that highway robberies were not uncommon in England at the time.

According to tradition, at the time of the Revolutionary War, William worked in his father's shipyard. They had been Loyalists until their shipyard was burned, William having guided the British Fleet through Hell Gate Channel into New York City at the time of its capture. After the loss of the shipyard, William took his wife and children to her parents home and joined the Army of the Colonists and fought for the American cause.

William migrated to Washington county, Pennsylvania in 1789 and to Harrison county Virginia in 1792 (Pension record). He bought all the bottom land east of Salem, where Bristol is now located and from that acquired the name Bottom Billy. He was at one time Sheriff of Harrison county, Virginia (West Virginia). About 1832 or 1833 he and his wife and several of their children migrated to Clark county Ohio. It is believed that she died in Clark county in 1834 and he in Clark or Shelby county in 1834 or 1840.

Additional Information about Joseph (Sgt) Barnard
Some historians state that Joseph was possibly born in 1641 to Francis Barnard and Mary Watson or between 1646-1650 to Francis and Hannah Merrill. The latter date is more consistent with his death in 1695 at age "45" years, which is inscribed on his tombstone in the oldest cemetery in Deerfield, MA - Old Burying Ground.

Joseph and his brother,John, both died in conflicts with the Indians as a result of the 'King Philip's War': Phillip being Metacomet, the not-so-friendly son of Massasoit, associated with the Pilgrims at Plymouth, MA.

Joseph resided in Northampton and moved to Deerfield, probably after marriage.
