1.  Betsy POWERS was born about 1761. She died[4] on 21 Aug 1843 at Greenway Court, Frederick County, Virginia at the age of 82. (I believe Greenway Court is actually in Clarke County, many of the records however, were found in other counties) She is interned on a knoll on Greenway Court with a marker inscribed with “In Memory of Elizabeth Carnegy who departed this life Aug. 26, 1843 in the 82nd year of her life. This solemn stone records her name. Beneath this lays her mortal form till he in who has put his trust shall raise his children from their dust.” Betsy married[5] William CARNEGY on 1 Jan 1799 in Frederick County, Virginia. From the Law Suit:  Francis Gildart vs William and Betsey Carnegy it states, "the intermarriage with the orator and oratrix which took place the first day of Jan. in the year 1799".  This is the only place the marriage is documented. William was born about 1754. He died[6] on 15 Nov 1823 at Greenway Court at the age of 69.

Betsy was employed as a housekeeper for Colonel Martin the owner of Greenway Court Manor. Her brother, John, was overseer of the estate and her future husband was thought to be the Steward.

 

In deed book SC3-260, Frederick County, Virginia, 4 Oct 1797, Betsy Powers from Thomas B. Martin (lease). I don't know why it was called lease. His will had been contested and it took a while to settle it. It was settled according to his wishes.

 

William Carnagy and Betsy, his wife, vs. Thos. Bryan Martin's Exrs.--O.S. 42; N.S. 14--Bill filed in Frederick County on 28 Feb 1799. Thomas Bryan Martin died in 1798.  Samuel Kercheval deposes at the Public house of Daniel Brown "at the White Post" in Frederick County, 14 Apr 1801. John Powers, brother of Betsy, deposes 1801[7].

 

The land that William and Betsy lived on "Greenway Court" was part of the vast estate of Lord Fairfax who never marrying left his estate to two nephews who also did not marry. 

 

One of the nephews was Col. Thomas Bryan Martin who resided with him for many years. Seeking companionship, Martin implored his sister Sybilla to come to Virginia, promising her financial independence, and asking that she bring with her as housekeeper "a woman advanced in life, a young one would become a Colonel's Lady", but although Sybilla apparently thought well of coming, she never came, thus leaving Colonel Martin to live with what he described as a "family" consisting of "blacks", the only whites being the overseer, Mr. Lagarde who in 1769, had become one of Frederick County's Justices of the Peace.

 

All the while, Colonel Martin was continuing his search for "a good old woman for a housekeeper", and finally, in the early 1790's, he employed, as housekeeper, pert, pretty Elizabeth “Betsy” Powers, who was then in her thirties.

 

In time Colonel Martin took Betsy Powers as mistress but even so, by 1793 he professed to be fed up with the Valley, writing that he would "attempt to move to a more friendly soil", and later stating that he was "endeavoring to sell (his) property except the little I give by will to a native".  Martin never moved from "Greenway Court", and when he died there on 4 Sep 1798, "after an indisposition of several weeks", he devised "Greenway Court" to "native" Betsy, with one thousand acres of  land, a number of slaves and all the residue of his personal estate with the exception of part of his stock, slaves and money. After the death of Martin, Miss Powers married William Carnagy, who is said to have been a steward at Greenway Court.  They had one daughter who married Rev. Thomas Kennerly[8].

 

At the time of Lord Fairfax's death, his cottage and the manor house were surrounded by about a dozen structures of different sorts, most of which were part wood, and were, in time, devoured by termites. Still standing is the Stone land office, as is a hexagonal frame structure commonly called the "Block House", and reputedly used for defense against the Indians.  However, the "Block House" could not have thwarted even a semi-insistent squaw---more probably, it was a store house for small arms and powder. And the nearby carriage house may have been the coach house referred to by Kennerly, but members of the Kennerly family believe that it was erected subsequent to Lord Fairfax's death with stone removed from other buildings.

 

About 1772 William Carnegy gave $500 to the Auxiliary Society of Fredrick County, Virginia. This Society was formed for the Colonization of free people of color in America.

 

In William Carnegy's will[9] he mentions his wife Betsy. William bequeathed to Nancy the widow of Yancy Powers, Betsy’s brother, dec'd an old negro woman named Hannah and young fellow named Glasgow who had belonged to her family for years and who would go to her youngest daughter Rebecca after Nancy's death and since Nancy was still living in 1861. Rebecca may never have received them. William took Nancy and her children to his farm after Yancy died and in exchange for caring for them he took land back that he had given Yancy. To the children of his dec'd sister Cate the late wife of John Powers Gloston a slave that had been in their possession and Margery a girl that was still with him.

 

To Daniel Powers, Jasper a child, I would guess that Daniel is another brother of Betsy. He was married to William Carnegy's sister Mary to whom William Carnegy gave Nancy and Emeley with her Child, Thorton. Later in 1846 Emeley and 2 children were conveyed to John H. Powers.

 

To Polly Waggoner daughter of Nancy Powers and wife of William (should be John) Waggoner a negro child named Grace.

 

To the youngest son of Nancy, Thomas, if he should be a sober person, a colt, saddle and a negro child.

 

The bulk of his estate went to his daughter Ann, wife of Thomas Kennerly.

 

William Carnegy also mentions "my deceased brother"; Gen. Roger Williams, "my agent and friend"; "my sister Betsy Hall (widow), and "her two youngest daughters" he left $300 for their education and what she had already received.

 

He also mentions a portion of his estate called "Bennetts field", and "one acre on the north west corner (of his estate) joining the lott I sold to Miss Nancy Green for the purpose of burying ground and siting the old meeting house which Mr. John W. Page was so good to say we might move".

 

Apparently, William Carnegy's physician was Dr. John B. Tildon, and Carnegy also mentions his "worthy friend William G. Kerfoot".  John W. Page and George Ritenour were witnesses to Carnegy's signature, and they, together with Ferguson Bell were bondsmen.

 

The Carnegys had only one child, Ann S., who married Rev. Thomas Kennerly, a Methodist minister, born c1790 in Augusta or Rockingham County, and following this marriage Kennerly "withdrew from active service in the pulpit, and instead of running down sinners, he took to fox chasing", (running "them 'from morning till night' and sometimes all night") and to family raising (the site of "Greenway Court: still belongs to members of the Kennerly family) as of 1992 there were no longer Kennerly's in the area but possibly descendants by another name.

 

Marked graves of William and Betsy and Ann S. are to be found in the all but obliterated private family grave yard located on a knoll 400 yards to the northwest of "Greenway Court".  Colonel Martin and Thomas Kennerly are also buried there according to a letter written by William C. Kennerly 9 Apr 1879 from Winchester to Burton Harrison (the father of Fairfax Harrison), states that Colonel Martin, Mrs. Crawford, and Mrs. Gildart were buried in the plot. Ann Kennerly inherited "Greenway Court", and about 1828, she and her husband erected a brick dwelling which was practically consumed by fire in 1872, but was restored.  A photograph of this brick dwelling (labeled "Thomas Kennerly House") appears in SHADOW on pg. 134 of "The Annals of Clarke County"[10].

 

William and Betsy had the following children:

               2 F         i.  Ann S. CARNEGY was born about 1799 in Augusta County, Virginia. She died5,6  on 13 Dec 1850 in Greenway Court, Frederick County, Virginia. Ann married Rev. Thomas Kennerly (d. bef. 1854) 30 May 1822, Dr. John B. Tilden presided.  I believe they were Methodists. She died in the 51st year of her life. Ann is buried at Greenway Court[11]. She died at the age of 51 years. More information on the descendents of this family can probably be found in the following books:

 

                                 In the History of Virginia by the American Historical Society, Inc. Vol. 4; The Virginia Magazine of History vol. 20, Settlers by the Long Grey Trail by J. Houston Harrison, 1935; The Abridged Compendium of American Genealogy-First Families of America by Frederick Adams Virkus vol. 5; and the Annals of Clarke County by Stuart E. Brown, Jr., vol 1 1983.  Most of these books can be found in the Lloyd House in Alexandria, Virginia a branch of the Alexandria Library.

 

                                 Greenway Court was in Frederick County or Clarke County, probably near the boundary line that changed at some time because it is in histories for both counties. Clarke County was formed later than Frederick.

 

                                 There is also a grave for Elizabeth M. Kennerly b.24 Oct 1827 d.25 Feb 1840 buried at Greenway Court who was probably the daughter of Ann and Thomas. Also Josephine Anne Beale (b.26 Dec 1836-d.27 Oct 1917) wife of Jos. McK. Kennerly b.26 Mar 1826-d.18 Jul 1829, this should probably be 1893.  G. N. R. Kennerly b.1829 "Buried in the Pacific Ocean". Also in the graveyard and listed under Elizabeth M. Kennerly information in the book "Gravestone Inscriptions from 101 Graveyards in Frederick Co." by Pearl Ritenour, 1960, Pg. 27, this inscription " In this common grave sleep three lovely and interesting little boys, the children of E. W. and S. Massey" their names are as follows: names on pg. 28, which I don't have. There is also Thomas Kennerly d.17 Mar in his 6th year, William Carnegy d.21 Apr in his 2nd year, Joseph Melville d.25 Apr 1850 in his 6th year, all of scarlet fever.

 

 

 

 

      1.   Yancey POWERS was born about 1767 in King William County, Virginia. He died  before 10 Dec 1816 in Frederick County, Virginia. Yancey married Nancy EDWARDS  daughter of John and E. EDWARDS about 1788 in Virginia. Nancy was born about 1767 in King William County, Virginia. She died on 5 Dec 1861 in Botetourt County, Virginia at 104 years of old age (she was probably about 94).

 

 

      Entry in Death Record:

      Nancy Powers, white female d.5 Dec 1861, Botetourt County, Virginia of Old Age, 104 years, daughter of John & E. Edwards, born in King William County, Virginia, informant Miss Wagoner, daughter[12].

 

      On the 1850 U.S. Census District 8, Botetourt, Virginia Nancy is in her son, John’s household[13] and after his death in her daughter Mary Wagoner's household[14].

 

      The 1820 census shows Nancy over 45, in 1830 she is 50-60, in 1840 she is 70-80 (she aged a bit since last census), and in 1850 she is 82. So in 1861 she is most likely in her 90s not 104 years old.

 

      The will of William Carnegy[15] mentions caring for Nancy and her children after Yancey died.  We know Yancey had a brother named John and sisters named Betsy and Nancy. He probably also had brothers James and Daniel.

 

      An early census (Personal Property Tax List) of King William County shows Yancey in King William County in 1790 and 1791. He is not listed in 1794. I have found no record for anyone named Yancey Powers in Frederick County, Virginia. There should have at least been some tax records. Could that have been because they were living on Betsy and William Carnegy’s land.

 

      In the Legal Suit OS. 42, 1799,  "…..he saw a coat belonging to one of the negroes on the back of Yancey one of her (Betsey's) brothers. In William Carnegy's will he takes the property back that he gave to Yancey in exchange for taking care of Nancy and her children. This was probably never registered.

 

      The members of the family, Yancey and his siblings, seem to have at least some education which indicates that they were not to poor. The theory is that John or Betsy was first employed by Martin and the rest followed. Their parents probably died before this.

    

Yancey and Nancy had the following children:

+          2 M        i.  John H. POWERS was born about 1789. He died about 1856.

+          3 F        ii.  Betsy POWERS was born about 1792.

+          4 F      iii.  Mary POWERS was born about 1802.

+          5 M      iv.  Thomas POWERS was born about 1803. He died between 1853 and 1860.

               6 F        v.  Rebecca POWERS was born about 1809 in Frederick County, Virginia. Rebecca's brother John was her guardian.  She married Thomas C. Harris    9 Jan 1826 in Botetourt County, Virginia[16].

 

                                 The 1830 U.S. Census Botetourt County, Virginia[17] shows Thomas Harris

                                  with 2m 0-5, 1m 20-30, 1f 0-5, 1f 20-30. I don't know what happened to them after that. They may have been in Williamson County, Tennessee in 1850. They may have had a child named Charles T. Harris, who married Martha Jane Minwick 12 Apr 1847[18].

 

                      

 

         2. John H. POWERS  (Yancey) was born [19] about 1789 in King William County, Virginia. He died[20]. about 1856 in Botetourt County, Virginia. John married[21] Catherine CARNEGY  sister of William CARNEGY on 14 Sep 1808 in Frederick County, Virginia. Bond for John and Catherine's marriage was made by James Powers. Catherine was born[22]  about 1790 in Virginia. She died[23] on 8 Jan 1823 in Botetourt County.

 

         Death Notice

         The Herald of the Valley, Sat., Jan. 11, 1823, p. 3, col. 3, Fincastle, Botetourt, Virginia.   Died - on Wednesday morning the 8th inst. Mrs. Catherine Powers, late consort of Mr. John Powers of this county, for many years a member of the Methodist Church.

 

         1846, Daniel Powers of the county of Frederick, Virginia appoints Col. Anderson Thompson of Botetourt my true and lawful attorney to sell transfer and convey my black woman (Emely) and her 2 children to John H. Powers[24].

 

         On the first day of October in the year 1827 John Powers[25] being indebted to Robert Wiley in the amount of 110 pounds 16 shillings and 6 pence to be paid the first day of March in the year 1827 (I’m not sure I understand the wording). To pay this debt he sold a Negro slave, Gloster, age 27 to William McLaughlin. Another deed was to James McDowell Jr. in 1827[26]. John's son Charles named one of his children William James McDowell Powers. On 7 Mar 1829 John in order to pay his debt to his mother, Nancy, put in trust to Harman Camper personal items and cattle to remain in John’s possession until 7 Mar 1830[27] John was indebted to his mother, for $200.00.

 

         No land records show John Powers owned land. He lived at Lapsley's Run in Botetourt County, Virginia.

        

 

         The 1810 US Census for West District, Botetourt County, Virginia[28] shows John with 1m 0-10 (Thomas), 1m 16-25 (John H.), 1f 0-10 (Rebecca), 2f 16-25 (Betsy and Catherine), 1f 26-44 (his mother, Nancy) and 5 slaves. He probably had sisters and one brother living with him (Thomas, Rebecca and Betsy). There was another John Powers in Botetourt County in 1810 with 1m under 10, 1m 16-25, 1f under 10, 1f 10-15, and 1f over 45 with no slaves (pg. 649). I’m not sure John was in Botetourt County this early.

 

         The 1820 US Census for Botetourt County, Virginia[29] shows John with 1m 0-10, 1m 16-26, 1m 26-45, 4f 0-10, 1f 26-45, 1f over 45, 2 male slaves 15-26, 1 female slave over 45.

 

The 1830 US Census for Botetourt County, Virginia[30] shows John with 1 male 5-10, 1 male 30-40, 3 females 10-15, 3 females 16-20, 1 female 50-60, 1 male slave 10-24, 1 male slave 24-30 and 1 male slave 100 & up, 1 female slave 50-100 (strange entry).

 

The 1840 US Census for Botetourt County, Virginia[31] shows John with 1 male 15-20, 1 male 40-50, 1 females 15-20, 1 female 20-30, 1 female 70-80, 2 male slaves under 10, 1 male slave 10-23, 1 male slave 36-54, 1 female slave 10-23, 1 female slave 56-99. 4 people were in agriculture.

 

The 1850 US Census West Distrct, Botetourt County, Virginia[32] lists John Powers in the West District of Botetourt County, Virginia age 60, Susan age 35, Emaline age 26, Charles age 24, Nancy age 82, Elizabeth age 5 all born in Virginia and 1 female slave age 80 and 2 male slaves age 21 which could be Emely and her 2 children mentioned earlier.

 

John and Catherine had the following children:

+          7 F         i.  Mary Ann POWERS  was born about 1812. She died between 1870 and 1880.

               8 F        ii.  Susan POWERS  was born about 1815 in Botetourt County, Virginia. She died about 1883 in Botetourt County, Virginia. Susan never married. She appears on the 1850-1870 U.S. Census for Botetourt County, Virginia. On the 1860 US Census Susan Powers age 49 was listed with J. A. Scott age 23, cooper, Mary S. Scott age 18 who were married within the year.  I don't know if there was any relationship between Susan and the Scotts.

 

                                 She probably died around 1883. In the probate records there is an inventory of her estate in Will Book O page 152 that was taken May 24, 1883. John Q. A. Thrasher was appointed Administrator on May 14, 1883. In Will Book O page 161 a sale bill indicates she may have been a seamstress. Sarah F. Thrassher paid for nursing and burying Miss Powers. This is the only probate record for anyone by the name of Powers from 1770-1900. In Deed Book 33 page 272-1855 Susan Powers trust deed shows a debt of $200.00, in trust is Negro man named George.

+          9 F      iii.  Nancy POWERS  was born about 1819. She died between 1870 and 1880.

+        10 F       iv.  Emaline H. POWERS  was born about 1821. She died after 11 Oct 1890.

+        11 M       v.  Charles M. POWERS  was born about 1822. He died after 1880.

 

 

       3. Betsy POWERS  (Yancey) was born about 1792 in Frederick County, Virginia. Betsy married[33]. George INGLEHART Jr.  on 22 Jul 1813 in Botetourt County, Virginia. George was born[34]  about 1790 in Virginia. He died[35]  after 24 Apr 1862 probably in Laurel County, Kentucky. On her marriage record her father was listed as Yancey Powers deceased formerly of Frederick County, Virginia.  Betsy was 21 or over, her brother, John Powers was the witness, George Inglehart, Sr. gave bond. They were married by John Helms a Methodist Minister[36] Betsy may have died about 1830 in Boone County, Missouri.

 

         1820 U.S. Census, Botetourt County, Virginia  shows George with 1m 26-45, 4f under 10, and 1f 26-45[37].

 

         The 1830 U.S. Census Perche, Boone, Missouri shows 1m 40-50 (George) 2f 0-5, 2f 5-10, 1f 10-15, 2f 15-20, 1f 30-40 (Betsy)[38].

 

         1840 U.S. Census, Persia, Boone, Missouri, 1m 0-5, 1m 5-10, 1m 50-60, 2f 0-5, 2f 5-10, 2f 10-15,  2f 15-20, 1f 20-30, 1f 40-50[39].

 

         1850 U.S. Census District 8, Boone, Missouri, George Inglehart 69, farmer born in Virginia, Elizabeth 33, born in Virginia, Matilda 36, born in Virginia, Caroline 16, Catharine 14, Evaline I. 12, Adaline 9, all born in Missouri. The 1850 slave census shows George Inglehart with two male slaves age 68 and 12[40].

 

         Concern: A George ENGLEHART married Elisabeth HUDSON in Boone County Missouri on 13 Jun 1831 by Tyre C. HARRIS, M.G. Un. Baptist[41]. Was this a second marriage for George? If so, some of the children attributed to Betsey POWERS would have actually been from Elisabeth HUDSON. It would have been easy to confuse Betsey's name for Elisabeth's name. However, there are other ENGLEHARTs in the area, therefore verification is necessary  Additionally, we need to see if Betsey POWERS-ENGLEHART died in about 1829. Betsy (Powers) Englehart would have been close to 50 years of age at the time of Adaline’s birth.  

 

 

         GEORGE J. ENGLEHART, JR.'s will dated April 18, 1862 is recorded in Laurel county Kentucky[42].                    

 

         ENGLEHEART, George; A deed dated 22 June 1833 says George ENGLEHART of Boone County, State of Missouri, sold to William CAMPER for $125 his undivided third part of a tract of Land Lying and being in the County of Botetourt this being the land formerly owned by his father George ENGLEHART Senr.[43]

 

         George ENGLEHART first appears on the 1855 Tax List[44] with 400 acres on the Sinking water course that has a value of $500. He is the only white male over 21 years of age. He has 2 slaves valued at $1800, one of whom is over 16 years of age. He has 5 children between the ages of 6 and 18. He owns 3 horses/mares valued at $150; 2 hogs; and 3 cattle. The 1857 and 1858 Tax Lists shows him with 419 acres valued at $500 and 4 children between the ages of 6 and 18. The 1859 Tax List shows him with 420 acres valued at $500 and 4 children between the ages of 6 and 18. The 1860 Tax List shows him with 415 acres valued at $500 and 3 children between the ages of 6 and 18. The 1861 Tax List shows him with 419 acres valued at $500 and 3 children between the ages of 6 and 18. The 1862 Tax List shows him as George ENGLEHARD with 40 acres valued at $500 and 0 children between the ages of 6 and 18.

 

         I would like to give credit to whoever did most of this research, but I can't find their name. I believe it was from a Boone County, Missouri website. I now know her name, it is Teresa Hodge and her contact information is doggie2812@yahoo.com.

         James was a Harness maker and Sadler. On the 1870 census a three year old male is in the household named Marcus. He could be a grandchild of James. There is also a Tecumseh D. Coving age 10 or 18 in the household.

             60 F        v.  Nannie STANLEY was born about 1855 in Botetourt County, Virginia.

 

 

 

 

         10. Emaline H. POWERS  (John H., Yancey) was born about 1826 in Botetourt County, Virginia. She died[104] after 11 Oct 1890 probably in Converse, Miami County, Indiana. She was buried in Converse cemetery with the Elmer Tolley family. Emaline married[105]1st John Ruley 25 Jun 1856 in Botetourt County, Virginia. He was 36 and she was 30.  John was born in Rockbridge County Virginia and his parents were Jacob Ruley and Sarah. Emaline married 2nd John LLOYD son of John LLOYD and Ailsy HARRISON on 26 Jun 1866 in Grant County, Indiana. John Lloyd was born[106]. about 1805 in Guilford County, North Carolina. He died[107]  between 1880 and 1890 in Grant County.

 

         Jacob T. Ruley was the son of William Burtney Ruley born about 1735. He is said to have arrived in America about 1754 and married Margaret Close/Clesse about 1779, probably his second wife because Margaret's sister Betsy Close left her possessions to Margaret's children: Jacob T., John B., Betsy, and Matilda. William also had sons: George and William, Jr. Jacob T. Ruley was born 25 Feb 1781, he married Sarah Mallen/Malin 29 Aug 1805. Sarah was born 15 Apr 1780 and died in 1820. Jacob married second Ann Irvine, born 3 Jul 1789, died 21 Nov 1835, he married 3rd Sally McKenry, born c1793, who was left a widow on 22 Dec 1842, she died in 1876[108]. Our John F. Ruley was most likely the son of Jacob T. Ruley and his first wife Sarah Mallen. Another connection is that John Brice Ruley, the uncle of John F. He also moved to Grant County, Indiana. Emeline's father was listed as John H. Powers and mother Catherine on her marriage record. John F. Ruley's first wife was named Elizabeth and he had two children:  Wm. H. b.c1846 and Sarah E. b.c1849. They are also found on the 1860 census for Grant County Indiana. 

 

The 1850 US Census for Rockbridge County, Va. shows John Ruley age 53, John F. age 30, shoemaker, Elizabeth age 27, (John F.'s first wife), Wm H. age 4, Sarah E. age 1 all born in Virginia[109].

 

         1860 US Census for Grant County shows Wm. D. Ruley, age 14, Elizabeth age 10, John F. Ruley age 40, Emaline H. age 38, Elizabeth Powers age 19, all born in Virginia.

 

         A trust deed[110] between Emeline Powers of the first part, Joseph P. Gaunt trustee of the second part and John F. Ruley of the 3rd part-whereas Emeline Powers is entitled to and the owner of certain personal property… (her personal property was put in trust until her marriage to Ruley.)

 

         John and Emaline Ruley moved to Indiana because John did not believe in slavery and Emaline's family were slave owners. Shortly after coming to Indiana John enlisted or was drafted into the Army of the North and was killed in the Civil War, at least that is the family legend. However, from the records that I received from the National Archives, John F. Ruley, Pvt. Company I, 34th Regiment Indiana Infantry enlisted 29 Mar 1864 for the term of three years at Jonesborough, Indiana. He was described as age 42, 5'9" tall, florid complexion, black eyes, dark hair, born in Rockbridge County, Virginia, farmer. He received $60 bounty on enlistment. On 2 May 1864 his pay was $13 a month. He left the depot in Indianapolis on May 6, 1864 for New Orleans where he spent May 22 to August in the General Hospital in New Orleans after which he was transferred to the City General Hospital in Indianapolis, Indiana where he died of consumption on Aug. 12, 1864. Emaline picked up his belongings. His company commander was James M. Butler in New Orleans. Emaline never forgave the North. She filed for his pension on 11 Oct 1890 and signed with an X for her mark, she was 69 years old. Her declaration was witnessed by her grandson, Elmer E. Tolley and his wife, Molly[111]. I was hoping the pension form would mention Emeline's daughter, Elizabeth so I could verify that she was John Ruley's daughter as her death certificate states. The declaration only asks for the name of legitimate children under the age of 16, but she was older than that.

 

         John Lloyd and Emaline, his second wife had no children of their own.  Elizabeth, daughter of Emaline, married 2nd John's nephew, William H. Lloyd. Emaline lived with Elmer Tolley and his family in later years. He was Elizabeth's child by her first marriage to William Tolley.

 

         Elizabeth's grandchildren called Emaline, "Granny" and Elizabeth, "Grandmother" to keep from confusing the two grandmother Lloyds. 

 

         The 1870 US Census for Franklin Township, Grant County, Indiana. John Lloyd age 65, farmer, born North Carolina, value of Real estate $1000, Emaline age 49, born Va., and Tolly, Ellsworth age 5 (this must be Elmer, Emaline's grandson).

 

         The 1880 US Census for Grant County, Indiana. shows John Lloyd age 79, born North Carolina, father born Pa, Mother born Va., Emaline, age 59 born Va. parents born in Va., Elmer Tolly, age 19, born Indiana, parents born in Va.

 

John Ruley and Emaline Ruley had the following children:

             61 F         i.  Elizabeth V. POWERS  was born[112] in Mar 1841 in Botetourt County, Virginia. She died[113] on 20 Apr 1911 in Grant County, Indiana. She was buried[114] in I.O.O.F. Cemetry. Elizabeth married 1st William TOLLEY  about 1863 in Grant County, Indiana. William was born about 1840 in Virginia and died before 26 Jul 1866. William Tolley's name was on her son, Elmer's, death certificate. Elizabeth married[115] 2nd William H. LLOYD son of Jeremiah LLOYD and Elizabeth LOCK on 26 Jul 1866 in Grant County[116]. William was born on 14 Mar 1835 in Randolph County, Indiana. He died on 9 Nov 1908 in Herbst, Grant County. He was buried in I.O.O.F. Cemetery, Grant County.

 

From Hazel Kepler:  Grandma Lloyd told Hazel that she was born in the foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia. Elizabeth was a teacher and serious minded person, who said she could trace her family to Pocahontas, she would not say it as a joke. However, most Virginia families say the same thing. Aunt Kathleen said in a note to me that I looked a lot like Elizabeth, small and nice looking. I have a picture of Elizabeth in her old age and she doesn't look all that nice, but very serious. But then on most of the pictures taken in the early 1900s the people look serious. It is funny that Kathleen should say I looked like Elizabeth because some people who have seen a picture of Kathleen when she was young asked if it was me. The difference is probably the petite part, Kathleen took after the Doherty side of the family and was taller. She and I are both thin.

 

Obituary, Marion Daily Leader, 21 Apr 1911

"Mrs. Elizabeth Lloyd, 70 years of age, died at the home of her son Charles Lloyd of Fairmount at 8 o'clock Thursday evening after a two weeks illness resulting from a tumorous growth. Mrs. Lloyd's home was in Franklin township where she had resided for more than forty years. Six children survive. The funeral will be held Saturday morning at 10 o'clock from the First Friends church in Fairmount with interment in the I.O.O.F. cemetery in Marion." She is buried in Block 23, Lot 20 Grave 11 at I.O.O.F. Cemetery, "w/o William H."

 

William was a carpenter and farmer. He was born in Randolph County, Indiana. He later moved to Sims Township in Grant County, Indiana, where they joined Deer Creek MM about 1895. According to the 1900 census William owned a farm that was mortgaged.

 

The 1860 US Census for Franklin Township, Grant County, Indiana shows William Lloyd, age 25, Laborer with personal property worth $100, born in Indiana. Harriet age (can't read) born NY, and Harper age (looks like 1/12), born in Ind., so if the census was taken on June 1 Harper would probably have been born in April or May[117].

 

The 1880 US Census for Franklin Township, Grant County, Indiana shows William Floyd (error on census) age 49, farmer, born Ind, parents born Va. (wrong both his parents were born in North Carolina), Elizabeth age 39, born Va., parents born Va., Orvan age 13, Rose M. age 10, and Hosa H. age 8, all born in Indiana[118].

 

The death record shows William died in Franklin Township, Grant County, Indiana. The cause of death was Organic Heart Paralysis, duration one year and he was married. His residence is given as Swazzee, Indiana.  He is buried at I.0.0.F. Cemetery in Marion, Grant County. His age is given as 73y 7m 25d.

 

Obituary: Marion News Tribune, Tuesday, 10 Nov 1908, Page 1, Column 3: "Mr. Lloyd is Dead, One of best known residents of Herbst Vicinity, William H. Lloyd, Step-father of E. E. Tolley and Henry Tolley (this is wrong it should be Henry Lloyd) of this city, died at his home two miles south of Herbst at 8 O'clock last evening, after a comparatively short illness with paralysis. The deceased was one of the best known men in this locality. He was 72 years of age and a carpenter. Seven children survive him. A short time ago, Mr. Lloyd was the victim of a severe attack of paralysis. He continued to grow worse and yesterday all hopes were given up for his recovery. He died with all his children at his bedside. No arrangements have been made for the funeral. Mrs. David Crichton, of Cincinnati, who was at one time connected with the editorial staff of the News-Tribune is a daughter of the deceased. Lloyd Funeral: The funeral of William H. Lloyd, who died Monday evening at his home south of Herbst, will be held this morning at 10 o'clock at Maple Run church, eight miles southwest of Marion. Burial in the I.O.O.F. cemetery.

         11. Charles M. POWERS  (John H., Yancey) was born[119] about 1822 in Botetourt County, Virginia. He died after 1880. He married[120]  Mary MANKEY on 27 Oct 1853 in Botetourt County. Mary was born[121]  about 1826 in Virginia. Mary's father was Philip Mankey a wheelwright of Botetourt County.

 

         Charles marriage record shows he was 30, a farmer and the son of John Powers of Lapsley's Run, Botetourt County, Virginia.  Mary's father was Philip Mankey, a wheelwright of Botetourt.  The minister was Lewis P. Fellers[122].

 

         Trust deed-in trust one negro man named Thornton, a black mare, a shot gun; I wonder if this is the same Thornton who is mentioned in the will of William Carnegy who gave Emeley and her son Thorton to his sister Mary who married Daniel Powers.  Daniel Powers in 1846 sends Emeley and her two children to Charles’ father in Botetrout County, Virginia[123].

 

         Charles must have been born around 1822/3 because his mother died on 8 Jan 1823.

 

         The 1860 Census shows Charles Powers age 34 overseer, Mary M. age 26, John A. age 4, Martha E. age 3, Wm. J. McD. age 1 all born in Virginia[124].  

 

         It appears that Charles was not in the Civil War. I could find nothing to suggest he was.

 

         On the 1870 census Charles, 45, worked on a farm, Mary 41, John 14, William 11, his two sons could read, but not write[125].

 

         The 1880 US Census District 13, Buchanan, Botetourt, Virginia shows Chas. M. Powers, 59, born Botetourt, farmer, father’s and mother's Birthplace Botetourt, which is probably wrong for his father at least, who was probably born in King William County, Virginia; Mary M. 47, born Botetourt, keeps house, parents born in Botetourt, William J. 21, born Botetourt and was a farm laborer[126].

 

         In a history of Botetourt County, Virginia I found a Charles Powers was a pupil in 1838-39 school year at the Seminary in the Town of Fincastle.

 

  

Charles and Mary had the following children:

             62 M        i.  John A. POWERS  was born[127] on 28 Feb 1856 in Botetourt County, Virginia.

             63 F        ii.  Martha Elizabeth POWERS  was born[128] on 12 Oct 1857 in Botetourt County, Virginia. She died on 7 Nov 1864 of diphtheria in Botetourt County, Virginia.

4. James POWERS was born about 1769 in Frederick County, Virginia. He died on 23 Jan 1839 in Monroe County, Missouri. He was buried in Poage-Powers Cemetery. James married[131] 26 Jan 1794 Sarah Deane WOODCOCK daughter of Mark Woodcock of Henrico County, in Prince Edwards County, Virginia. She was born about 1772. She died on 11 Jan 1852 in Monroe County. She was buried in Poage-Powers Cemetery. Sarah was the niece of Richard Dean Woodcock, her guardian of Prince Edward County, Virginia who left her his estate in his will dated 31 Dec 1799, proved 30 Nov 1801, she was called wife of James Powers. Exec. Friend William Cannagy and James Powers.  William refused executorship. I also have information that Sarah is the daughter of John Sherman Woodcock and Francis [-?-]. This would have to be checked, but her marriage record say she is the daughter of Mark Woodcock.

 

James was appointed the guardian of his brother Jack's children: John, Elizabeth, Martin and Sarah. He moved to Greenup County, Kentucky and later Monroe County, Missouri about 1814. His children were probably born in Virginia. James was bondsman for his nephew, John H. Powers and Catherine Carnegy's marriage on 14 Sep 1808 in Frederick County.

 

James and Sarah had the following children:

             14 F         i.  Mary Ann POWERS was born on 13 Nov 1794. She died on 18 Jan 1870 in Monroe County, Missouri. Mary Ann “Polly” married Thomas Poage 15 Jan 1815 in Greenup County, Kentucky. She died at age 76y 2m 5d.

             15 M      ii.  Richard Dean POWERS was born on 9 Nov 1795 probably in Frederick County, Virginia. He died on 5 Jun 1860 in Monroe County, Missouri. Richard married Harriet Poage 24 Nov 1819 Greenup County, Kentucky. They moved to Monroe County, Missouri.  (letter from R. D. Powers to parents)

 

In the following letter of Richard D. Powers to his father, James Power, of Greenup County, Kentucky. The original is in the property of O. G. Powers. The persons referred to, besides the writer, are his wife, Harriet; her brother Thomas Poage; Poage’s wife, Polly, who was also Power’s sister; John Stewart (I don’t know who he was married to) and Edmund Damrell, brothers-in-law of Poage and Mrs. Powers, the latter being the grandfather of the late M.A. Violette and one of the first elected county judges; Simon and George, apparently slaves and father and son. Damrell and another brother, Cyrus Poage, were in St. Louis at the time of writing, held up by the closing of navigation on the upper river, joining their relatives in the spring. The whole group settled about midway between Paris and Florida. As written the letter is entirely without punctuation, which has been supplied to facilitate reading.

It was as follows:

January the 1st, 1831

Dear parents,

By the time your patience has been wearied with the expectation of a letter from us; but the time being taken up with other concerns, we have not before taken an opportunity. We through mercy are all at this time enjoying good health. As to our travels and what happened to us on the road, you have been informed by Polly’s letter; though it is enough to say such scenes is seldom witnessed. The last time the teams ran away, I

was driving for Thomas, whose team ran, upset the wagon, and threw my right elbow out of joint, since which time I have been but little better than a cripple. It mends very slow, but I am in hopes it will get tolerably strong again. Harriet and Polly, I believe, complains but little now of their hurts. We reached (New) London, which is about thirty miles from where we are now, in thirty-two days from the time we started; and staid there ten days, during which time I purchased and got to the place where we are now—I may say, home—one the eighteenth of November. So much for our travels. I bought one half quarter section for three hundred dollars with a good cabin on it, a loom house, stable, good cribs, and about eighteen acres cleared and under a good fence. I also purchased another piece of the same size adjoining for two hundred and fifty dollars; and have since entered one hundred and sixty acres adjoining at one dollar and twenty-five cents per acre, making it all three hundred and twenty acres, sixty or eighty of which is prairie. All the other is woodland and the greater part of a good quality, being composed of oak, black walnut, honeylocust, elm and cherry, sugartree, blueash, hackberry—and of each of these a large quantity. As for the quality of the land, you nor no other person, I think, would ask land any richer.

The soil is very black, loose and strong, and generally of a considerable depth. There is yet large portions of land of this description here yet to enter, besides many places offered for sale second handed at about the same rate that I purchased for. I would particularly speak of one piece of a hundred and sixty acres belonging to a Mr. Smith of this neighborhood, which he offers for four hundred dollars, which in point of soil nothing can exceed. The reason why so many are willing to sell, is that they may get money enough to enter two or three times as much as they sell. They frequently have other land in view of the neighborhood, and as soon as they pocket the money they are off to Palmyra to the landoffice. The best land is lighter timbered; therefore a farm is very easy made. How much the land will produce per acre, I am not prepared to say, but I am well assured the different kinds of grain will grow here abundantly. As for grass, I do not expect there is a tame grass meadow in this neighborhood; but some miles from where I staid all night at the house of a gentleman who told me that he had sown about four acres of prairie in timothy, and at one mowing he believed he mowed from it twelve tons of good hay. In all that I say about the country, I wish to avoid speaking extravagantly; therefore, I hope you will do me the justice to believe me sincere in all, as I am well aware to whom I am writing. Then let me candidly tell you this country, with what I already possess in it, with its future prospects and advantages, I believe fully repays me for all the trouble and expense I have been at in getting to it. This country is not very well watered. There is some good springs, but water can generally be got by digging fifteen or twenty feet. Tis a limestone country. The chance for milling here is already better than you have in Greenup. The mill is about five miles from me by a very good road. Another is building and expects to grind this winter within each well fixt for business. As for health, we have every reason, from the looks of the people here and from the situation of the country, from our own observation besides the information we get from the oldest settlers here, to believe it to be as healthy no doubt as Greenup or perhaps any other country. I suppose within the compass of five miles around me there is no doubt forty families, actual settlers; and on inquiring I have been informed that amongst them there has not been more than four or five deaths this year, which is said by the oldest settlers to be the sickliest year of the last ten years. This is said to be, and I believe is, a fine country for wheat, which is about four miles,

with a sawmill to worth fifty cents per bushel. Corn is worth one dollar per barrel. Pork sells for two dollars per hundred. There are cash articles. Salt is one dollar per bushel. Horses are worth so little here that I would advise any person coming to this country to come by water and buy their horses here for farming use. A horse that will sell for sixty dollars with you, will not here bring more than thirty in cash. As for society, we cannot complain; and there is Methodists, Presbyterians, and

Baptists, a few of each, but of the latter I believe considerably the greatest number. There is a Presbyterian Church constituted, I am told, within a few miles of us, consisting of eight or ten members. Indeed most of the people here seem to be sober, moral, and orderly. We are all pleased with them. Thomas lives about one mile and a half from here. He bought a place improved and has as much land as I have. J. Stewart, about two miles off, also bough an improved place and has two hundred and forty acres. Each farm is partly prairie and all excellent land, though before we got it we had to experience some of what is called ups and

downs for the want of someone to show us land and give us the numbers. Myself and Thomas road at least one-hundred miles before we got any satisfaction about it for want of some acquaintance who would show us. On the night of the twenty-first November, on my way home from Palmyra, in one arm of the Grand Prairie, I got lost and lay out all night. I believe it was five miles from my house, and cold. Thomas on the night of the twelfth December lay out also in a prairie. But we are here ready to assist you or any of our old neighbors and friends who may think proper to put it in our power to do so. Harriet sends her best respects to both of you, also to Salley, Mrs. Ward, Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Adams, Mr. Fufts, Mrs. Hernbuckle, and without distinction all and every one of her old neighbors, and desires to be the same to them again here in Masoura. Harriet is quite hearty and is several pounds heavier than when we started. My piece of paper is too small, or I should write to you much more. We all live in Ralls County, between the north and middle forks of Salt River, and about thirty miles from Palmyra,

which is ten miles from Hannibal, the nearest public landing to us. When you write to us, direct to the Mount Prairie post office, Ralls County, Masoura. I shall write to Mr. Gholson; please let him read this letter, and I will request the same of him for you. And with due respect must remain, yours.

R.D. Powers

Tell Simon that his wife and children are well, and that George has got him a wife. If this should reach you before Edmund starts, tell him I want him to bring my old dog and two or three more good ones. If he should stay until fall, tell him to write soon, as I shall want him to bring me several articles, such as farming tools, etc--.

R.D.P.

             16 F      iii.  Elizabeth POWERS  was born in 1798. She died on 5 Mar 1863 in Monroe County, Missouri. Elizabeth married 1st Edmund Damrell 17 Apr 1820 in Greenup County, Kentucky. 2nd Henry Johnson.

             17 F       iv.  Sarah POWERS  was born in 1800. She died on 25 Jan 1859 in Monroe County, Missouri. Sarah “Sally” married Braxton C. Pollard 3 Sep 1825 in Greenup County, Kentucky.

 

 

 

5. John "Jack" POWERS    was born about 1760 in Virginia. He died about 1803 in Frederick County, Virginia. John married Francis (sic) WHITEHEAD  on 24 Sep 1792 in Amherst County, Virginia. Francis was born about 1765. She died before 1811. Frances married 2nd William Pain/Payne 30 Aug 1804 in Frederick County, Virginia by Lewis Chastain[132]. John's marriage to Francis Whitehead was probably his second marriage, unless the birthdates for his children are off. John's son, Thomas, died about 1811 in Frederick County, Virginia. His administration is tied up with John's and Francis'. I wonder if John might have been married to a Ritenour first. The family had a lot of dealings with the Ritenours. Thomas and brother James bought land from Anthony Ritenour about the same time. William and Francis may have had a son, William W. Payne born c1807, who married Elizabeth Turley on 15 Dec 1825 in Montgomery County, Kentucky. 

 

John Sr. died about 1804 and included in the estate settlement for John was Thomas who was probably his oldest son, and Frances Powers, late Frances Pain. The settlement and division of the estates of John Sr., Thomas and Frances was made 2 Sep 1811.

 

Will Book 9, pg. 68-69, Frederick County, Virginia FHL #31351

 

We in obedience to an order of the County Court of Frederick at April term 1811 proceeded to settle the unsettled part of the estate of John Powers, dec'd and report that the net proceeds from the settlement by the commissioners James Baker and Samuel Kercheval in 1804 their appears to be seven hundred and eighty six dollars and eighty cents of the balance of the estate account by the death of Frances Powers late Frances Payne we have also settled in obedience to the above mentioned order and report that the amount of the same is two hundred and seventy eight dollars sixteen cents. And in obedience to another order from said count and term to divide said estate, we report that each child’s share in the settlement amounts to one hundred and thirty one dollars three cents and in the latter fifty five dollars sixty three cents and in further obedience from an order of said court march 1811 proceeded to settle the administration account of Thomas Powers dec'd and report that the net proceeds of the same amounts to four hundred and forty five dollars seventy seven cents and in obedience to a further order of said court March term 1811 to divide the estate of Thomas Powers dec'd among his heirs we have accordingly done so and report each ones share to be eighty nine dollars and fifteen cents. Given under our hand this 2nd day of September 1811. William Brownly

                           John Roist

 

At a Court held for Frederick County the 2nd day of September 1811. This settlement and division of the estates of John Powers, Thomas Powers and dower estate of Frances Powers late Frances Paine dec'd proceeded to the court and being examined and approved of and recorded.

 

John's probable brother James was made guardian of John's children; James, John, Elizabeth, Martin and Sarah[133]. So Thomas was of age by then.

 

John Powers, brother of Betsy, deposes 1801 in the case of William Carnagy and Betsy, his wife, vs. Thos. Bryan Martin's Exrs. ___O. S. 42; N. S. 14___Bill filed in Frederick, 28 Feb 1799[134].

 

Tax List for Frederick County, Virginia, shows John from 1791 through 1802.

 

John was overseer of the Greenway Court when Thomas Bryan Martin died, the estate that his sister, Betsy inherited. She was the housekeeper/mistress of Thomas Bryan Martin and her future husband, William Carnegy, is thought to have been T. B. Martin's steward.  (I wonder if John named his son Martin and maybe Thomas after Thomas B. Martin). After John died his two sons, John and James were apprenticed to learn the trade of tanning. James later had a tanyard in Putnam County, West Virginia. Betsy set up John and sister Ann using her inheritance.

 

John and Francis had the following children:

             18 M        i.  Thomas POWERS  was born about 1786 in Frederick County, Virginia. He died  before 22 Nov 1810 in Frederick. Thomas was probably a minor in 1803 when he is called orphan of John and at least 18 when on 15 Oct 1804 he bought 375 acres of land in Frederick County, Virginia from Anthony and Margaret Ritenour. It was registered 4 Dec 1809[135].

             19 M      ii.  John POWERS was born  about 1788 in Virginia. John's guardian account with James Powers was settled on 1 Nov 1813. The amount was $425.13[136]. John and his brother James were apprenticed out to a man named Slemon to learn tanning and to learn to write, read and cypher.

             20 M     iii.  Martin POWERS was born in 1790 in Virginia. About 1811 Martin received his portion of his father's estate in the amount of $395.26 after his expense were deducted for his care[137]. I don't know what happened to him after that. He may have died young.

             21 F       iv.  Sarah POWERS was born  about 1792 in Virginia. Sarah married John Payne 1 Jan 1810. John petitioned the court on 22 Nov 1810 for the Sarah's portion of her inheritance from her father John Powers[138].  "Know all men by these presents that I John Payne of Frederick County and State of Virginia have constituted and by these present do constitute my brother William Payne of county & state aforesaid my attorney to demand for and receive in my behalf whatever property is coming to me of the estate of John Powers and Thomas Powers. signed John X Payne (seal) wit: Thomas Shearman and Charles Beckley (Sarah's Aunt Ann's husband) 7 day of March 1811 (this is when the suit was finally resolved) "

 

                                 On 23 Dec 1809 there was a suit brought by James Powers, Sally's guardian, against Payne & wife, I would think that was her mother and stepfather, to settle the guardianship account of James Powers with Sally Payne late Sally Powers, which means she was probably married at the end of 1809[139]. The amount of her portion was $513.35, which was a substantial amount then.

+        22 M       v.  James POWERS was born about 1794. He died in 1880.

             23 F       vi.  Elizabeth POWERS was born about 1796 in Virginia. She married William Alexander 12 Jan 1815 by John B. Tilden.  William Alexander was killed by Indians in Fayette County, Kentucky before 1820 when Betsy is listed on the U.S. Census there. It shows 2f 16-26 and 2f 26-45. When her father's estate was settled she received $378.62 1/2. James Powers was her guardian.
