Nov 1766(A) Carpenter et als. vs. Fotch.--George Carpenter and Ann, his wife; Stephen Huntsberger and Ursilla, his wife; Mathew Heorce and Frances, his wife, daughters and co-heirs of John Shitly, deceased. John was a German, and died in Germany, leaving the above daughters, all infants, and ____ ____, his widow. The widow came to America with the children and married John Fotch before coming. She died at Plymouth on the passage over. John Shitly left no estate, but his father, Malchior Shitly, left estate. The Shitlys went from Switzerland to Holland, where they took ship. They landed in Maryland, intending to settle at Tulpahocken, in Pennsylvania. Fotch left Germany in 1744. Mathew or Martin Heorse (called both). (Vol 1, p. 342)
Nov 1766(A) Carpenter vs. Fonts (Fotch).--Chancery. Writ dated 24th November, 1763. Complainants are George Carpenter and Ann, his wife; Stephen Hantsberger and Ursilla, his wife; Matthew Hearce and Francis, his wife, daughters and co-heirs of John Shitley, deceased; that John Shitley was an inhabitant of the German Empire, where he died, having a small personal estate, leaving behind him your oratrices, then very young, and ____, his wife, mother of oratrices, and one of the defendants, who by the laws and customs of the empire, possessed herself of the small fortune of her husband. Shortly after the father's death, the widow, thinking to benefit herself and children, transported herself to America, bringing with her your oratrices and what remained of John Shitley's estate, amounting to near ?100, Virginia currency, and some time after her arrival married John Fotch, the other defendant, who took possession of all the effects. That as your oratrices grew up, they intermarried (as above) and their husbands frequently applied to the said John Fotsch and wife for the parts due their wives, but obtained only ?20 Pennsylvania Currency, ?7 Virginia Currency, and 2 horses, worth ?14, for which they gave receipt to Fotsch, expecting to receive the remainder in a short time, but now so it is, he refuses to pay them anything more.
John Fotch's answer: He married the widow of John Shitley in Germany and not in America, and that on her passage to America she died at Plymouth. He never possessed himself of any part of Shitley's estate, for he died insolvent, except a few trifling bed clothes made use of by his children on shipboard, but he says the grandfather of oratrices, Malchia Shitley, left them goods and chattels which this defendant, marrying their mother, possessed himself of, and before he came to America sold for as much money as came to ?67 Virginia Currency, of which defendant expended ?8 for oratrices for provisions and carriage from Switzerland to Holland, where they took shipping, almost 300 miles. He also paid for their passage to America the sum of 16 pistoles, and provisions growing short on shipboard, he was obliged to expend 30 shillings. Having landed in Maryland and intending to settle at Tulpahocken in Pennsylvania, he spent ?3, 15 for provisions and carriage to that place. That he left Germany in 1744, and about 2 or 3 years after he came to this country he advanced to oratrices ?25 in Virginia Currency, and two mares of the price of ?14, 10. That lately, on 31st March, 1762, he and complainants came to a final settlement and defendant agreed to settle with them ?42.
Augustine Price deposes before Felix Gilbert: That is March, 1762, in company with George Carpenter, John Fetch and others, Carpenter and Fetch agreed to leave their dispute to Jacob Pershinger, Jacob Nicholas and Daniel Price, but they could not agree, when they came to an agreement themselves, the only question remaining whether Virginia or Pennsylvania Currency.
Daniel Price deposes the same.
Jacob Miller deposes: That being at the house of John Fetch some time in March, 1749, he heard George Carpenter ask three Gerles, that were heirs to the estate of _____, if they were satisfied with what they had received.
Jacob Pershinger deposes like Augustine Price.
Barbary Miller deposes, that being in company with Usley Shutling in 1750, Usley said she had received a mare and some clothes, and was well satisfied. (Vol 1, p. 495-496)Page 144 Vol 1. John Fudge and Samuel Maggott witnesses 23 Nov 1767

Samuel McWilliams in Rockingham Co 1796 (p. 481)The tradition that has been handed down from one generation to another is: The first MacWilliams who came to America was banished from Scotland because he displeased the King. He stole the bailiffs daughter who notified him of the edict married her and came to America and we trust "lived happily ever after".
At the time of the American Revolution there were four brothers, the three oldest were in Washington's Army. We are descendants of the youngest.
The clan lived in the northern part of Scotland, that is the highlands, and were called Highlanders. James MacWilliams Sr. was proud of being a Highlander. He pronounced it Helandir and spoke with a decidedly Scottish burr. He was born June l, 1762 and died August 28, 1842. A chautauqua lecturer who had lectured in Scotland said the clan is still there. Some say in Ayshire.
A Boston MacWilliams said they originally came from Normandy with William the Conquerer.

from ancestry.com http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/59573633/person/36201360062/mediax/1?pgnum=1&pg=0&pgpl=pid|pgNumThe following genealogy of the Perrin/Jameson/Gardner Family came from a letter written in 1910 to William Joseph Perrin, son of Dr. James Madison Perrin, by Christopher Columbus Perrin, son of Isaac Newton Perrin, in "Genealogy of the Gardner Family in Tennessee" by R.W. Gardner, November.25,1848; "A Family Album" by Rebekah Baines Johnson; and "Pioneer Families of Franklin County, Virginia" by Marshall Wingfield were also used as references. (In July of 1988 some additional information was included by Charles Dickson).
Charles Perrin was my great-grandfather. Charles'father was believed to be John Perrin, a Virginian of (Norman) Emglish stock. Charles Perrin had several brothers and sisters. They were Robert, Dr. Lewis, Mahala Gates, Samuel, John, and a sister said to be the mother of Admiral George Dewey. Robert Perrin raised his family near Lexington, Ky. Dr. Lewis Perrin died in Decator, TX. Mahala Gates died near McKinney,TX. Another brother of Charles Perrin was Samuel Perrin - he raised his family in Hempstead County, AR. His sons were Archie, William, Willie and Zens. John Perrin, another brother, went south from Virginia and was never heard from again.
My great-grandmother, Katherine (Katie) Jameson, and Charles Perrin were married in Virginia, ("A Family Album" indicates they were married in 1792 at Russelville, KY.) and came to Garrard County, KY. about 1810. Katie may have spelled her first name with a "C" or "K" and her last name Jamison or Jameson. She was the daughter of Thomas Jameson. Thomas Jameson was a major in the Revolutionary War. He and his men were driven into the James River in Virginia by the British. They escaped, but he contracted phtitisis (?) or asthma, and in his old age he could not lie down. The last seven years of his life he spent in a chair, an invalid, with his head up so he could get his breath. In "A Family Album" (p. 143) it indicates Thomas Jameson was a corporal in charge of four scouts. He was well acquanited with General Washington and was within twenty steps of him when Cornwallis surrendered. Thomas Jameson had several sons and daughters. A grandson, James M. Jameson of Indianapolis, IN., worked up family tree that traced the Jamesons back to 1640 in Scotland. Another source, "Pioneer Families of Franklin, County, Virginia" indicates Thomas Jameson's father was John Jameson. John was born in Ireland in 1680. John's father was James Jameson, and he was born in Glasgow, Scotland about 1650. James' father was Alexander Jameson. Alexander lived six miles from Glasgow. He and his son, James, lived in the same place until 1675. During the persecution James went to Londonderry, Ireland, where he married a Scotch girl. She died leaving twin sons who were ten years old. These sons were Robert and John Jameson. John came to America with his father (James) and his brother (Robert), and they settled on the Susquehanna River in southern Pennyslavania. He (John) spent the greater part of his life as an indian fighter and planter in York County, Penn. and in Orange and Augusta Counties in Virginia. John was a captain of the Augusta County militia. Thomas Jameson (Katie's father) was born on November 7, 1732 and served in the campaign which ended in Braddock's defeat. Thomas and his brother, Alexander, served in the Albemarle Company of Militia for the protection of the frontier against the indians.
In 1756, Thomas Jameson married Jane Dickey of Loudoun County, VA. They had four children - Samuel, John, Martha, and William. They moved to Georgia, but on the death of his wife (Jane) in 1763, he returned with his four children to the home of his brother, Alexander, in Albemarle County, VA. (near Charlottesville). He (Thomas) later moved to what is known as Franklin County, VA. near Shady Grove and Snow Creek, where he owned a plantation of about two hundred acres. Here he married Hannah Taggart and they had ten children - Mary, Jane, Nancy, Katherine (my great grandmother), Helen, Margaret, Alexander, Thomas, Hannah, and Rhoda. Thomas was a good horseman and covered hundreds of miles in Virginia. He also was fleet of foot. Thomas became a prominent figure in the border wars, and was commissioned captain in 1761. He served in the Revolutionary War in the Virginia Infantry. He and his son, John, in 1776 were among the most respectable families who subscribed to the oath of allegiance to the Commonwealth of Virginia, renouncing allegiance to King George III, early in the history of the determined resistance of the American Colonists to British oppression. He and his sons, Samuel and John, participated in the Battle of Guilford Court House (March 15, 1781). Thomas was enrolled in April 24, 1776 in White's Company, Sixth Regiment, and on September 8, 1778 we find his name on the roll of Capt. John Summer's Company, First Battalion, commanded by Col. Thomas Clark. Thomas and his brothers were signers of the Albemarle Declaration of Independence. Thomas was a personal friend of Thomas Jefferson and also of Patrick Calhoun, the grandfather of John Calhoun, who settled in Augusta County, VA. in 1770 and later moved to South Carolina. Thomas died in April 6, 1823 and Hannah Jamison died in 1830. They are buried at Hebron Baptist Churchyard, Jefferson County, IN. The eldest son of Thomas and Jane (Dickey) was Samuel. He served under Washington in the Revolution. John, Thomas' younger son, was a soldier of distinction in the Continental Army and received a Captain's commission.

From findagrave:
His grandfather was John Jameson (1680-1736) and his grandmother, Rachel Opdyke (abt. 1680-1728). Thomas (1732-1830) was born to: Samuel Jameson (b.1705 in York, PA-1788) and Jane (last name unknown, but thought to be Craig. Thomas was their 2nd son and was born in VA. He married 1st to Jane Dickey (1738-1763) and 2nd to Hannah Taggart (1732-1830.
The John Jameson (1711-1788)previously thought to be his father was atually his uncle, (brother of his father Samuel),& Margaret White Jameson, his aunt.
The family info given was probably from a newspaper article from the Bedford (VA) Bulletin, Vol. 7, No. 44, Page 7, Dec. 29, 1966, which contained several historical errors.

Mr. Jameson's son, Samuel Jameson [153], was in the Army of the Revolution, and was with Washington when he took command of the army, July 3. 1775, in Cambridge, Mass. It is not known what became of him. A Samuel Jameson is mentioned in 1786 as an inhabitant of Lisbon, N. H., who had served in the War of the Revolution, and he may have been the one who accompanied Washington in 1775 to Cambridge.

Taken from "Who Was Who in Hardin County" by the Hardin County Historical Society.
Colonel John Cowley
Col. John Cowley was the son of John Cowley, who came to this country with his family from Montgomery County, Maryland, at an early date. At the same time came Colbert S Cowley and his family, also William OWEN and his family and two men of the VEIRS family brought their families.
They must have come at an early date and by flat boat from Fort Pitt to the Falls
of the Ohio. They began to buy up land after crossing the Rolling Fork River at the mouth of Cedar Creek, large tracts of land on Dorrett's Run, on Mill Creek and on westward where the Louisville and Nashville turnpike crossed some of their holdings near what is now Rogersville.Col. John Cowley was born October, 1802, on the east side of Dorrett's Run where his father had acquired a large acreage of land. He took up military tactics and training at an early age and was soon advanced from a private to the rank of a commissioned officer and was commissioned by the State to issue the muster call for all troops in Hardin County to assemble for training at some place designated in the muster call issued by Col. John Cowley.
The Colonel owned a farm on Mill Creek of probably a thousand acres, on which he had a grist mill and a distillery at what was then and is now known as the Falling Springs, which furnished the power to run his mill and also water for the distillery.
He issued the muster call and trained the troops on his own farm near the Falling Springs where there was an abundance of water for drinking and cooking. The Colonel's dwelling, a large, two-story log house, weather-boarded, with large stone chimneys, stood on the bluff overlooking Mill Creek. At the rear were a number of buildings used as slave quarters. On the roof of his dwelling was a bell covered by a belfry, with the lower end of the rope hanging by the side of the Colonel's bed on the first floor. Each morning this bell was rung for his head slave to come in and make the fires and get the cook up to begin preparing breakfast, and to get the other slaves out to their work.
Col. John Cowley was of Irish extraction, and always looked "dressed up," wearing blue jeans in winter and grey jeans in summer, military coats and a
black silk hat with a crown about six inches high. He must have had a slave
who was an expert weaver of cloth, as each year he carried sufficient cloth of both blue and grey jeans to Louisville on horseback where his tailor cut him a suit of each, basting in the lining and wrapping them in oil cloth to carry back home to be made up.In 1870 a newcomer in that section asked Col. Cowley where Abe LINCOLN got the brains to be President. The Colonel told him that he didn't have to go any further back than his grandmother, Beersheba Lincoln, known as Granny Lincoln, who for many years was known all over north Hardin County. Col. Cowley said of her that she was a Jeffersonian character, of fine brains, and full of energy and business.
Col. Cowley died November, 1884, aged 82 years. He was respected by his neighbors as a good, substantial citizen and a good neighbor. He reared a large family of good citizens who all became land owners. His oldest son, Owen Cowley, was at one time likely the owner of the largest acreage of land owned by one person in Hardin County.
Col. Cowley was married to Hester OWEN, and to this union six children were born. His second wife was Susan DAUGHERTY, and to them was born one son.
