James Holman (Holdman, Holeman)
Born: about 1814 in Madison County, Kentucky
Died: about 1886 in Crab Orchard, Lincoln County, Kentucky

James Holman (Holdman, Holeman) was born about 1814 in Madison County, Kentucky. He lived in the area of Brodhead and Crab Orchard, Kentucky, which are on the border of three Kentucky counties: Lincoln, Garrard, and Rockcastle.

On June 4, 1835 in Garrard County, Kentucky, James Holman was married to Martha Ramsey, the daughter of Alexander Ramsey, by Baptist minister Benjamin Polston.

***

The results of the DNA tests show that the descendant of James Holeman, b. 1814 is:

"very tightly related" to the descendant of the Daniel Holman who was born about 1787 in North Carolina, had children in Tennessee, and homesteaded in Douglas, Missouri;

"very tightly related" to the descendant of the Kenneth Holeman who died in 1871 in Upperfreehold, Monmouth Co., New Jersey who is thought to be a descendant of Robert Holeman, died 1709 in New Jersey;

"related" to a descendant of the Elias Holeman (1759 - 1827, Burlington County, New Jersey); and

"related" to the descendants of Thomas Holeman, born about 1723, who moved from the Shenandoah Valley to North Carolina in 1752.

Based on our findings so far, the following is a plausible story.

* Two of the sons of the Robert Holman who left a Will in 1709 in Monmouth County, New Jersey (Thomas b. 1686 and Daniel b. 1689) first moved from New Jersey to Kent County, Maryland to be near their relatives. [This idea was first proposed to me by Holman family researcher, Randy Holman Schmidt.]

* Daniel Holman (b. 1689) and probably his slaves and others arrived in Shenandoah County, Virginia prior to 1736. Some Holman family researchers believe that Daniel Holman was married twice. His first wife is thought to be Rachel, and she and Daniel had at least one child, Jacob Holman. In 1737, in Orange County, Virginia he married his second wife, Elizabeth Cathey. They had been living together prior to the marriage. They had a daughter, Rebecca Holman. [Question: What happened to his first wife and any children?]

* Sometime between 1736 and 1749, Thomas Holman, (b. 1686), the older brother, acquired land at headwaters of Holman Creek. There is no record of Thomas Holeman (b. 1686) buying land from John Van Meter or Joist Hite.

* Daniel Holman (b. 1689) built a settlement/fort on the east side of the north branch of the Shenandoah River, near where "Holman Creek" empties into the River. [Question: how big was the original settlement and who were the people involved?]

* In 1749 and 1750, the Holmans resolved any deed problems with Lord Fairfax (who sued Joist Hite over the implementation of the land grant). The original of the five deeds appear to be boiler-plate with each saying "...Assigns Proprietors of the said Northern Neck Yearly and every Year on the Feast Day of St. Michael the Archangel the Fee rent of One Shilling Sterling Money for every Fifty Acres of land hereby granted..." Apparently, after Thomas Holman (b. 1686) resolved any deed problems with Lord Fairfax, the land was sold to Robert Stapleton in 1749.

* Jacob Holman, son of Daniel (b. 1689), was the administrator of "Old Daniel's" estate in 1770 and inherited Daniel's land.

* Thomas Holman who was born about 1723 in Kent County, Maryland, arrived in Wilkes County, North Carolina around 1750, and died in 1798 in North Carolina. [Question: Was he the son of Thomas b. 1686 or Daniel b. 1689 or someone else?]

* Isaac Holman (born about 1725, and died 1808 in Rowan County, North Carolina) is thought to be the son of "Old Daniel of Shenandoah" and his first wife. There is circumstantial evidence that the two men are associated with each other, but evidence of a father-son relationship is pretty thin.

Who were the members of the original Holman settlement in the Shenandoah Valley?

I am assuming that two of the sons of the Robert Holman who left a Will in 1709 in Monmouth County, New Jersey (Thomas b. 1686 and Daniel b. 1689) first moved from New Jersey to Kent County, Maryland to be near their relatives, and then moved on to the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. [This idea was first proposed to me by Holman family researcher, Randy Holman Schmidt.]

Note:
The area of Maryland now known as Cecil County had previously been a northeastern part of a much larger Baltimore County, in the northeastern portion of the Province. This had included present-day Baltimore City and county, Harford, Carroll, eastern Frederick, and portions of Howard and Anne Arundel counties. At the time of its founding, Cecil County also included modern Kent County.

Did the New Jersey Holmans move directly from Kent County, Maryland to the Shenandoah Valley, or was there a stop in Cecil County or the Monocracy Valley along the way? Knowing their associates might provide clues to their locations.

Who was Elizabeth Cathey, the second wife of Daniel Holman (b. 1689)?

"Records of Rev. John Casper Stoever Baptismal and Marriage 1730 - 1779" Harrisburg, PA 1896
Original record "was written in German and contains many Latin phrases as well as a few English and French".
MARRIAGES Record of persons united in Matrimony by me, John Casper Stoever, Evangelical Lutheran Minister in Pennsylvania, Anno 1730:
page 55. 1737, June 8. "... Daniel Hoolman and Elizabeth Cartlay. North River, Shenandoah. vulgo. Cockel Town in Orange county, in the Colony of Virginia."

When and where did Daniel Holman and Elizabeth Cathey meet? They were married on June 8, 1737 near their home on Holman Creek (in the presence of their neighbors). But it must be assumed that they were already in a common law relationship. (Their daughter, Rebecca Holman, was baptized the same day as the marriage.) Did they meet in the Shenandoah Valley, on the trip to the Valley, or at their prior home(s)?

Was Elizabeth (Cathey) Holman related to the William Cathey who married her daughter, Rebecca Holman? (November 24, 1772. A bill of sale for slaves from Jacob Holeman, Gent., to William Cathey and Rebecca his wife was acknowledged by the said Jacob)

William Cathey, after his first wife, Rebecca (Holman) Cathey died, married second on Dec 13, 1784, Margaret, the widow of Jacob Holman [the brother of Rebecca (Holman) Cathey]. A different Rebecca Holman (daughter of Jacob Holman and Margaret) on Oct 23, 1789 married John Martin. After John Martin died, Wiiliam Cathey took his widowed step-daughter, Rebecca (Holman) Martin, to Kanawha County, (West) Virginia.

CHRONICLES OF THE SCOTCH-IRISH SETTLEMENT OF VIRGINIA; Vol 2, pp 150 - 159 by Lyman Chalkley
Cathey vs. Brown--O. S. 184; N. S. 65--Bill 1811. In 1783 Jacob Holman made his will in Shenandoah and shortly afterwards died. Orator William Cathey married the widow in December, 1784. Jacob's daughter, Rebecca, married John Martin. Martin died and orator took the widow and children to live with him. Then Rebecca died. Orator moved to Kenawha. Defendants are, viz: Charles Brown, Wm. Whitaker, Joseph Brown, John Hodge and Elizabeth, his wife; Larkin Raines and Hanah, his wife, late Hannah Martin; John Martin; Elizabeth, Hannah and John being children of Rebeccah Martin. Will of Jacob Holman of Shenandoah County dated 26th October, 1783. Wife, Margaret; sons, Daniel, Andrew, Jacob Herod Holeman; daughters, Elizabeth Dobkin, Rachel Holeman; daughters, Rebecca, Mary Ann.

[Note: John Hodge and Elizabeth Windseeth, Jacob Thigh and Mary White, Daniel Hoolman and Elizabeth Cartlay were all married by Rev. John Casper Stoever on the same date.

[Note: The William Cathey who married Rebecca Holman in Shenandoah County, Virginia is sometimes confused with another William Cathey, the one who died on Dec 23, 1812 in Haywood County, North Carolina.]

The south branch of the Shenandoah River goes south between the Massanutten and Blue Ridge mountains to present day Port Republic (Rockingham County). The south branch of the Shenandoah River (at present day Port Republic) divides into the North River and the South River. The Middle River empties into the North River, between the North River and the South River. (The Middle River was previously called Carthrae's or Cathey's River.) Christian's Creek and Lewis' Creek empty into the Middle River.

Marty and Karla Grant on their website (martygrant.com) discuss the Cathey family that was living in Augusta County, Virginia in the area just west of present day Staunton.

James Cathey (c1685, Ireland) migrated to America about 1720 and settled first in Cecil County, Maryland, and then moved to Chester County, Pennsylvania. Before 1739, James and his family moved to Augusta County, Virginia on Cathey's River adjoining Beverly Manor. [Cecil County, Maryland and Chester County, Pennsylvania shared a border.]

Children of James Cathey and his wife Ann
1. John Cathey (c1709)
2. William Cathey (c1711)
3. Elizabeth Cathey (c1713) Elizabeth Cathey was born ca 1713. She was named in the 1739 importation record as coming into America with James and Ann Cathey. She was not named in the 1756 Will of James Cathey.
4. Andrew Cathey (c1715)
5. George Cathey (c1717)
6. Margaret Cathey (c1719)
7. Ann Cathey (c1721)

Several of the grandchildren of James Cathey and his wife Ann were baptized in the 1740s by the Reverend John Craig at the Augusta Stone Presbyterian Church in Augusta County, Virginia. [Augusta Stone Presbyterian, located on the great wagon road, is the oldest Presbyterian church in Virginia still being used. The Reverend John Craig also served at the Tinkling Spring Presbyterian Church.]

Annals of Augusta County, Virginia, from 1736 to 1871, by Joseph A. Waddell:

* William Beverley's deed to William Cathrey, the first of a long series of deeds by Beverley to various persons, was admitted to record September 28th, 1738. (pg 33) [Note: William Cathrey is the son of James and Ann Cathey.]

* On June 24, 1742, John Buchanan, John Smith, Samuel Gay, James Cathray and John Christian qualified as captains of militia; and John Moffett and William Evans as lieutenants. (pgs 42-43)

* The military force of Augusta county in the fall of 1742, consisted of twelve companies of about fifty men each. The prominent officers were, William Beverley, County Lieutenant, James Patton, Colonel, and Captains John Smith, Andrew Lewis, John Buchanan, James Cathrey, John Christian, Samuel Gay, Peter Scholl, James Gill, John Willson, Hugh Thompson, George Robinson and John McDowell. (pgs 45-46)

The Catheys moved to North Carolina. In addition to the Bryan settlement, two other centers of population developed before 1752 on the northwestern Carolina frontier. The first of these was the so-called "Irish settlement" (also known as the "Cathey settlement.") located in the headwaters of Second Creek thirty miles southwest of the shallow ford. (Carolina Cradle - Settlement of the Northwest Carolina Frontier 1747-1762, by Ramsey, Robert W)

Connection to John Van Meter?

Daniel Holman's March 26, 1736 patent for 319 acres on the west side of the north branch of the Shenandoah River was part of the John Van Meter grant (June 6, 1730) for 10,000 acres sold to Joist Hite (Oct 1734). If this followed the usual process (Hite held the grant; specific tracts for each settler would be surveyed; then Hite would give each settler his certificate; then Council would ratify; and then settler would get deed) then Daniel Holman was on Holman Creek around 1734.

Jan Joosten Van Meter, the father of the brothers (John, Isaac, and Joseph Van Meter) was a Dutchman from New York. Before 1714 he relocated to Salem County, New Jersey and became an Indian Trader. From his travels with the Delaware Indians he first learned of the land in the Shenandoah Valley. About 1727, he and his sons John and Isaac traveled to the Germanna settlement to meet with Virginia Governor Spotswood. At the time, Germanna was the western most settlement in Virginia. From there, he and his sons crossed the Blue Ridge Mountains, following the same path used by Governor Spotswood in 1716 (Swift Run Gap). As a result, he and his sons were familiar with the two branches of the Shenandoah River and the south branch of the Potomac River.

The son, John Van Meter, became an Indian Trader in the Monocacy Valley (settled on 200 acres near present day Frederick, Maryland), and became the first of the traders to acquire title to the land on which he lived. (sixth survey made in Frederick County, Maryland on April 12, 1724). Lord Baltimore and his allies soon realized that money could be made by renting and selling land on the frontier. They soon moved in as land investors or speculators. They secured large tracts (5,000 acres or more) of the choice land along the Potomac and Monocracy rivers. This made it difficult for small settlers. Therefore, Virginia, not Maryland, became the place to secure free and accessible land (1720-1730). The son, Isaac Van Meter remained in New Jersey. The two other sons relocated to the Shenandoah Valley after they secured a land grant from Virginia Governor Gooch in 1730.

Daniel Holman could have known John Van Meter from either New Jersey or Maryland.

***

Connection to Joist Hite?

When the Van Meter brothers got their Virginia grant everyone assumed that the "Northern Neck" grant did not go west of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Lord Fairfax did not learn that his Northern Neck grant went beyond the Blue Ridge until 1736-1737. Because of his travels with the Indians into the valley (prior to 1725), the father of the Van Meter brothers may have known that the head waters of the Potomac River were located west of the Blue Ridge. The Van Meter brothers may have avoided litigation with Lord Fairfax by assigning their "orders" to Joist Hite in order to have Hite sell them their properties. Also, this gave Hite two additional settlers in order to meet the requirements of the combined Hite and Van Meter grants.

Joist Hite immigrated from Strasburg, Germany. In 1710 was at Kingston, New York. His first wife was Ann Maria DuBois, one of the Huguenot families driven out of France. Joist Hite relocated to New Jersey and was a fur trader. He knew Jan Joosten Van Meter, the father of the Van Meter brothers, who was an Indian trader in New Jersey.
* Two of the daughters of Isaac Van Meter married sons of Joist Hite
* Rebecca Van Meter, sister of the Van Meter brothers, married Cornelius Elting and two of their daughters married sons of Joist Hite.

In 1717, Joist Hite settled near Philadelphia, PA (Germantown). He was involved with land transactions (some with William Penn).
With support of Pennsylvania Governor Penn, he got a grant from Virginia Governor and Council in 1730 for 100,000 acres west of Blue Ridge on land not previously granted. In 1730, he organized a group in Philadelphia to travel to the Shenandoah Valley and resettle. Under his grant he needed forty families (later reduced to twenty, but his original group had only sixteen families). The Hite group started in southeastern Pennsylvania, went through the Monocracy Valley in Maryland, and crossed the Potomac River at old Packhorse Ford (near present day Shepherdstown).

His group stayed near the Potomac River while they explored the Shenandoah Valley to pick tracts of land to claim. The Hite group settled along the Operkon River, from the Potomac River south to present day Winchester. Joist Hite then proceeded to sell tracts of his grant and the Van Meter grants. In 1734 the Virginia Council accepted Hite's claim of compliance with the Van Meter claim (54 families by Christmas 1735) and authorized proceeding with surveys and issuing patents.

In a few years Joist Hite and Lord Fairfax began their feud over property ownership. The 1746 survey for the location of the Fairfax Line showed that about sixty settlers who bought land from Joist Hite were actually living on part of the claim of Lord Fairfax. (Holman Creek was in the disputed area.) The dispute between Fairfax and Hite slowed the settlement of that part of the Valley, and induced immigrants to push their way south to regions not implicated in such controversies (Beverley tract and Borden tract).

Daniel Holman was not part of the original Hite group. He may have known Joist Hite from New Jersey. Also, he may have known Robert McCay. Robert McCay was one of the original settlers in the Hite group (settled on Crooked Run, nine miles southeast of Stephensburg) and was a partner with Joist Hite in the land business. Robert Mackay, a Quaker, was born about 1680 and married first Anne Browne. The family moved from Freehold, Monmouth County, New Jersey to Cecil County, Maryland about 1723. Later, they were in the vicinity of the East Nottingham Meeting near the Pennsylvania and Maryland border. [Much of what is now Cecil County was originally attached to Kent County until Baltimore County was created 12 January 1659.]

Connection to White, Moore, and Allen of Mt Jackson, Shenandoah County, Virginia

"Pioneers of Old Frederick County Virginia" by Cecil O'Dell, 1995.
In 1734, William White, Reiley Moore and Benjamin Allen removed from Monocacy in Maryland to Frederick County, Virginia. These families settled on the North Branch of the Shenandoah River, about 12 miles south of Woodstock, Virginia.

Monocacy refers to the valley of the Monocacy River, which starts around present day Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, flows south by present day Frederick, Maryland and empties into the Potomac River. The first residents in the Valley were Indian traders and Missionaries. (John Van Meter, son of the New Jersey Indian trader had a survey done in the Monocacy valley in 1724.) The northern part of the Monocacy valley, claimed by both Pennsylvania and Maryland, was on the "Indian trail" used by white settlers relocating from the north to the south. In 1730, the Monocacy Trail was made into a wagon road. (Rev. Johann Casper Stover passed through the valley on his trips from Pennsylvania to Virginia.)

Mt Jackson (formerly Mt Pleasant) was on the Main Road, parallel to the north branch of the Shenandoah River, between the Massanutten and Allegheny mountains. (Mill Creek, from the west, empties into the north branch of the Shenandoah River at Mt Jackson. Smith Creek, from the east, empties into the north branch of the Shenandoah River at Mt Jackson. Going south two or three miles on the north branch of the Shenandoah River, Daniel Holman's Creek is the next creek that empties from the west.) The "Irish" pioneers were the first to move south on the main road, parallel to the north branch of the Shenandoah River. They were soon followed by German settlers, and the Mt Jackson area became a German stronghold.

--

Rev. John Casper Stoever was a German born minister. He was based in Lebanon, Pennsylvania, but traveled down from Pennsylvania through Maryland to Virginia.
On June 8, 1737, the date of the marriages of John Hodge and Elizabeth Windseeth, Jacob Thigh and Mary White, Daniel Hoolman and Elizabeth Cartlay, he also baptized persons in the following "Shenandoah" households:

WILLIAM WHITE (Shenandoah)
White, Ruth, b. Feb 28, 1732; bap. June 1737.
, Charity, b. March 6, 1734; bap. June, 1737.

[Note: Benjamin Allen was a Quaker.]

William White

There appears to have been two men named "William White" in the Shenandoah Valley in the early 1730s. I believe that the William White, who came from the Monocracy Valley in Maryland with Benjamin Allen and Riley Moore settled on Smith Creek (which flows into the north branch of the Shenandoah River) near present day Mt. Jackson in Frederick County, Virginia. He was born about 1700 and died around 1765. He is believed to have been married twice: Rose and Sarah. His daughter, Ruth White (1732-1781) in 1761 married Joseph Allen (1732-1805), the son of Reuben Allen (1692-1741).

[Question: who is this? Shenandoah County Will Book A-Page 228--November 25, 1779--Guardian bond of Jacob Holdman guardian of Samuel White orphan of Wm. White dec'd. Recorded Nov. 25, 1779.]

Riley Moore

Riley Moore, the son of William Moore and Rachel Riley of Queen Anne's Parish, Prince George's County, Maryland, was born 1703, and married Sarah Holland in 1726, and had seven children: William, Dorcus, Thomas, Jacob, James, Reuben, and John.

"Pioneers of Old Frederick Co VA" by Cecil O'Dell, 1995" Page 482
Reiley Moore had settled in Orange Co VA [Shenandoah Valley] by Jan 26, 1735 when Morgan Morgan and Peter Woolf listed the settlements within the McKay, Hite, Duff and Green 100,000 acre Colony of Virginia grant land. [See Hite/Fairfax Lawsuit, British Copy, p 262].

Riley Moore's daughter, Dorcus 'Terkis' Moore (born Feb 15, 1731 in Prince George's Co., Maryland), married David Robinson. David Robinson and Dorcus 'Terkis' Moore had four children, including Mary Robinson (born Jan 28, 1759 in the part of Augusta County that became Rockingham County, Virginia).

* Mary Robinson (1759-1825) on Jun 22, 1782 married first Daniel Holman (1766-1784), the son of Jacob Holman (died 1784), and the grandson of old Daniel Holman of Shenandoah County. Daniel Holman (1766-1784) and Mary Robinson (1759-1825) had two children: Jacob Holman (born 1783) and Dorcus Holman (died 1865).
** Jacob Holman (born 1783) in 1805 married Phebe Dunkerson, the daughter of Lucretia (Moore) Dunkerson, and the grand daughter of Thomas Moore (1732-1797) and Phoebe Harrison (1727-1807)

* After Daniel Holman (1766-1784) died, his widow Mary (Robinson) Holman (1759-1825) in Aug 1787 married second (Rev Andrew Moffett) John Hohman (Homan, Hamen, Hamman).
** John Hohman (born 1755 in Germany) and Mary (Robinson) Holman (1759-1825) had five children, including David Franklin Homan (1787-1847). David Franklin Homan (1787-1847) in 1810 married Lydia Thomas (born abt 1793), the daughter of John Thomas and Elizabeth Hoop, and had nine children:
-Harrison E. 1811 - 1885 m: Anne Martz
-John H 1813 - 1868 m: Mary Martz, Gina Wells
-Isaac 1816 - 1889 m: Mary "Polly" Ann Rich
-George William 1821 - 1896 m: Sarah Jones Bohon
-Hiram 1822 - m: Elizabeth Jane Kline
-Richard Thomas 1824 - 1883 m: Virginia Melinda Weir
-David Franklin Jr. 1826 - m: Mary Ann Carr
-Amanda Belle 1829 - 1917 m: Thomas Jefferson Starke
-Samuel Madison 1832 - 1868 m: Anna E. Dobbins

[Note: Daniel Holman of Hardin County, Kentucky (and his wife Rebecca Johnson) and James Holman, born about 1814 in Madison County, Kentucky, (and his wife Martha "Patsy" Ramsey) used some of the above names for their children.]

Riley Moore's son, James Moore, born about 1735 in Frederick County, Virginia, about 1751 married Martha Denton (1736-1794), daughter of Abraham Denton of Long Island, New York. James Moore died Nov 6, 1771 in Virginia. After James died, Martha married Colonel John Tipton in 1777. Phebe Moore (1760-1840), daughter of James Moore and Martha Denton married her step-brother William Tipton, son of Col. John Tipton and his first wife Mary Butler

A history of Tennessee and Tennesseans: the leaders and ..., Volume 8 By Will Thomas Hale, Dixon Lanier Merritt
"Col. John Tipton was born in Baltimore county, Maryland, about 1732, came to Frederick county, Virginia, between 1745-1750, about the time of his marriage to Mary Butler, daughter of Thomas Butler of Cedar Creek. She died June, 1776, and Col. John Tipton did not remove to Tennessee until after 1782 -- some years after his second marriage to the widow, Mrs. Martha Denton Moore, July 22, 1777, though two brothers, Jonathan and Joseph had preceded him to Watauga by several years. Colonel Tipton is said to have died August, 1813, at his home on Sinking Creek, Washington county, Tennessee, three miles from Johnson City, and he and his second wife lie buried on the hill above the old house which stands unchanged, though built more than a hundred years ago." See Tennessee Census for Holmans.

Riley Moore's son, Thomas Moore (born October 1732 in Maryland), married Phoebe Harrison (1727-1807), the widow of Daniel Davidson (1718-1751). Phoebe Harrison (1727-1807), was the daughter of John Harrison (born 1691) and his wife Phebe. John Harrison (born 1691) was one of the sons and sons-in-law of Isaiah Harrison of Long Island who first moved to the part of Pennsylvania the became Delaware, and then moved to the part of Augusta County that became Rockingham County, Virginia. John's half-brother, Thomas Harrison (1704-1785), was the founder of Harrisonburg, Virginia.

In addition to the Thomas Moore who was the son of Riley Moore, there was a Thomas Moore who left a will, recorded at Woodstock, 1790, (Will Book C, page 244), naming, his wife Mary, and children; John, Reuben, Joseph, Lydia, Ann, Elizabeth, and Hannah, and a nephew Thomas George. The Thomas Moore who left the will is thought to be related somehow to the Riley Moore group (on Smith's Creek). This Thomas Moore is the one who lived on Holmans Creek and was the founder of "Moore's Store." The "Mary" mentioned in the will is thought to be Mary Allen, a niece of Benjamin Allen.

Benjamin Allen

Benjamin Allen, born about 1680, is the son of Joseph Allen (born 1642 in Sandwich, Bristol, Massachusetts), a Quaker, and his second wife Sarah Hull.

From "Pioneers of Old Frederick County, Virginia" by Cecil O'Dell, pg. 461:
Benjamin Allen purchased 900 acres located on Conowingo Creek and Octario Creek (branches of Susquehanna River) in northwestern Cecil County, Maryland, from Ephraim Herrman and his wife Isabella for 120 pounds in 1714. Benjamin Allen sold the northern half of the 900-acre tract to Reuben Allen for 60 pounds in 1719/20.

Benjamin Allen purchased from Joist Hite his first two tracts of land, one for 170 acres, surveyed 1734/35 and another surveyed 1734/35, consisting of 120 acres. It is on these two tracts of land that Benjamin Allen built his Mill. On June 29, 1739, Benjamin got an additional patent for 400 acres laying on both sides of the North Branch of the Shenandoah River and joining with his other two tracts. Benjamin Allen died in 1747 without a Will and his brother Ralph Allen of Rhode Island inherited the land. Ralph Allen turned the estate over to his nephew, Reuben Allen (1722-1751). Letters of Administration were granted and Reuben Allen (1722-1751) made bond with Thomas Moore and William White as sureties. Inventory of Benjamin Allen's goods and chattels was made 1747 by John Rudell Sr., John Rudell Jr., Daniel Holeman, and William James.

Benjamin Allen's brother Reuben Allen (1692-1741) followed him from Cecil County, Maryland to Mt Jackson. There is no record of land grants for Reuben Allen (1692-1741), but his widow, Mary, and sons received various Fairfax Grants in 1749 adjacent to the Benjamin Allen properties. [This could be explained by the fact that Joist Hite stopped issuing deeds on the disputed land around 1736 and Lord Fairfax started issuing deeds on the disputed land around 1749.]

Mary Allen (born about 1720 in Cecil County, Maryland), daughter of Reuben Allen (1692-1741) married the Thomas Moore who lived on Holmans Creek and was the founder of "Moore's Store."

Joseph Allen, son of Reuben Allen (1692-1741) married Ruth White (1732-1781) daughter of William White and his first wife Rose.

Mary, the widow of Reuben Allen (1692-1741) died about 1751. The inventory of her estate was handled by Wm. White, Danl. Holdman, John Ruddell.

Rudolph Heinrich Brack (Brock)

From the Records of Augusta and Frederick.
Feb. 18, 1748 - Daniel Holman and Peter Gartner, with Abraham Strickler and William Anderson, sureties, become guardians for Julia, George, and Elsie Brock, orphans of Rudolph Brock, dec'd. - August County Will Book 1 - page 107.

From RootsWeb: "Our Texas Family", owner: Doris Johnston

Rudolph Heinrich Brack, his wife, and children migrated from Germany to Philadelphia. Rudolph 47, his wife Anna 36, and children Frederick 14, Christina 11, and Magdalena 8 took the oath of allegiance on Aug 28, 1733.
Sometime after 1736 the family followed the German migration to the Shenandoah Valley. Rudolph near Forestville in what became Augusta County and then Rockingham County; and his first cousin, Hanss Michel (John Michael), a little further west in what became Shenandoah County in the Gap which soon bore the name Brock's Gap. The 1747 Frederick County court naturalization records for Rudolph stated that he had been a resident of Virginia for seven years or more.

In Jan 1748 Rudal Brock's will was written in Augusta County. He mentioned son Frederick, son George, daughter Christiana Funkhouser, daughter Julian Brock, and daughter Eve, leaving all children an equal share. The 250 acres of land was left to minor son George, who was to pay out of the land to each child an annual amount to give them equal shares. Executors, John Dobikin and Wm. James. Teste: John Henry Neff, Peter Gartner, Hans Ber.
His will was proven, Feb 1748, by Peter Gartner and John Bare. Daniel Holeman and Peter Gartner were bonded as guardians of Julia, George and Elsye Brock, orphans of Rudal Brock - which means the three were minors when their father died, but he had an adult son and a married daughter. Samuel Newman, Jacob Woodley, John Dobekin, and William James gave bond as administrators of the estate.

Was the role of Daniel Holeman and Peter Gartner to provide financial oversight for the minor children?
* Aug 1750. Daniel Holdman's account against the estate of Rudy Brock for services done to the children.
* November, 1750, cash paid for George Brock's land; Efey Brock's share of grain
The three minor Brock orphans:
Julianna Christina Brock b: 1732 in Germany
George Brock Sr. b: 29 SEP 1734 in Holy Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church, Lancaster, Lancaster Co., Pennsylvania
Anna Eva Brack b: 01 JUN 1736 in First Reformed Church, Lancaster, Lancaster Co., Pennsylvania

Notes from "Pioneers of Old Monocracy, The Early Settlement of Frederick County, Maryland"
John Henry Neff, a Mennonite from Pennsylvania, in 1746 purchased 355 acres in Monocacy ("Taskers Chance") on land he was already settled on.
After 1746 John Henry Neff deeded land back to Dulany
1749/1750 Dr John Henry Naffe had 470 acres surveyed at Bushey Bottom on the North Fork of the Shenandoah. He purchased land where he lived from Adam Shurel in Jost Hite's grant.
Dr. John Henry Neff was a neighbor of Daniel Holman (on the east side of the north branch of the Shenandoah River).

Mary Hill

Mary Hill was the widow of William Hill.

From Chalkley’s Augusta County Records:
Vol III, page 11

Evan Jones, who lived not far from Moore's Store took the 1785 census for the area from Massautten Mountain on the east to the Great North Mountain on the west and included the sites of New Market, Quicksburg, Forestville, and Moore's Store.
He lists a "Mary Holeman --6-1-1." Could this be the widow of William Hill?

Joseph Hill (1735-1807), son of William and Mary Hill,, migrated from Hampshire County, (West) Virginia to Jefferson County, Tennessee about 1786.

John Hill, son of Joseph Hill (1735-1807), was born Oct 1770 in Hampshire County, (West) Virginia and died Oct 1831.He married in 1806 in Jefferson County, Tennessee, Margaret "Peggy" Dodkins, the daughter of Reuben Dobkins and Elizabeth Holeman.
(Reuben Dobkins was the son of "Jno Dobikin" who witnessed the will of William Hill, 1748 Augusta Co., VA).
(Elizabeth Holman was the daughter of Jacob Holman and the grand daughter of old Daniel Holman.)
