This is a treat for those interested in the Philpott family. Pete, thanks so much for sharing this with us. Nyla CREED DePauk ===================== Subj: Drucilla Philpott Date: 97-11-20 14:40:50 EST From: Chochojay To: jcxo@jps.net, HarrisSEM, herrenk@email.uah.edu To: NCreed1 I have been reviewing the "book" on my Turner info and find that I need to do some work on it before sending it out. So give me some time on this. I have made an Ascii file for the ancestors of Drucilla and will attach it to this. I hope all of you get it. I haven't tried this before so hope it works. If you don't get the file let me know and I will send it to each one of you. Question asked about Samuel's parents. He is the son of John and Mary E (Keech) Philpott. Pete ========================= Subj: Philpott/Turner Date: 97-11-20 14:17:18 EST From: Chochojay To: NCreed1 I'm in shock. I just pulled what my computer program calls a "book" on what I have in my computer on the Turner family. I started printing at 1 pm today and it didn't stop till after 5 pm. Slow printer. But the descendants go for 169 pages, the sources cover three pages and the index, which is two columns covers 39 pages. My how things grow when you don't pay attention. This is a print out of the Descendants of John Turner, Sr. born about 1689 in either England or Ireland. His four sons, John, Meshack, Abednego and Shadrack are listed. The only one I have descendats on is Shadrack born about 1720 in England. Now, the problem is, how do I get this info to you? If I send a GEDCOM file it will not cover all the names as this "book" prints the parents names on any wife and/or husband of a Turner that I have in my data base. One of you has expressed that they do not like GEDCOM files and another has never worked with a GEDCOM file. So, what is a person to do? I am now creating a file with all the info on the Turner family and their related families that I have in my data base. This may take some time. Reason being is that even on my Philpott family I have found two people from the same father that married into the Turner family but with different mothers. So, I will have to rebuild this with care. This will take time. So, hang in there with me. We will make it one of these days. If you would like a copy of this "book" then I will need a snailmail address. Be glad to send it that way as my program does not allow me to print this info in any other form than to my printer. Once I get my new data base built I can provide a GEDCOM file on the complete data base. For those of you that wonder about a GEDCOM file here is what I do when I recieve one. I go into my computer program and create a new file. Then I put the GEDCOM file in this new file. Never put a GEDCOM file into your own data base as you may end up with lots and lots of duplicate names. After I have the GEDCOM file in the new database, then I can look at it at my leasure and see what info I need and don't need. If I find something I need then I make another GEDCOM file of the new info and import it into my data base. If you have a merge system on your program, then all you have to do is merge one or two names and the new info is in your data base. I know, all of you are old hats at this stuff. But I just had to say my piece. I still have not made it on the internet pages. AOL was down for five hours yesterday and I haven't tried today. I am not an expert at this computer stuff so you will have to give me time. One of these days I hope to make it to the pages. Let me know what you want or need and I will send it in any form you like. Pete Philpott =========================== Ancestors of Drucilla "Pricy" PHILPOTT - 20 Nov 1997 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ FIRST GENERATION 1. Drucilla "Pricy" PHILPOTT1,2,3,4,5 was born on 22 Jul 1791 in Henry Co., Virginia.6,7 Age 59 on the 1850 census of Franklin Co., Virginia. SECOND GENERATION 2. Samuel PHILPOTT2,8,9 was born in 1762 in Charles Co., Maryland.8 He died in 1837 in Roane Co., Tennessee. The exact dates of Samuel Philpott's birth and death are unknown. He was born in Charles County, Maryland, the youngest son of John and Mary (Glover) Philpott. He was not mamed in his father's will, so it is assumed that he was born after his fathers death in 1776. His mother named him heir to a negro girl, Charity, to be delivered to him when he reached the age of 21. John's will was dated October 16, 1761 and probated March 30, 1762. Mary's will was dated April 29, 1766 and probated May 11, 1766. At the age of four he was an orphan. It is assumed that he was raised by his half-brother, Philip Glover, son of his mother by her first marriage. Philip and his wife Charity (Philpott) Glover were provided for in Mary's will so that they would have a home and an income to be able to take care of the orphaned children of John and Mary. He lived in Charles County until he was around 16 years old. This would have been his age at the time his brother John sold his land in Maryland and moved to Virginia. He may have moved with his brother John to Virginia. He paid taxes in Henry County in 1780. By this date, his birth date can be estimated to be around 1761 or 1762. He may have lived with his brother John in Virginia and, by John's will, he always lived close by. It seems that he farmed his brothers land. He also acquired other lands on his own. On March 24, 1804 he received a land grant of 84 acres on the South side of Smith River. On November 2, 1806, he purchased 70 acres in Patrick County, Virginia. He inherited the land and all the plantation equiptment from his brother John. On December 12, 1823 he and his wife, Mary, sold their land in Patrick County, Virginia and moved to Tennessee. She died sometime between this date and 1836, perhaps in Tennesee. On October 3, 1836 he married Margaret Pyrtle in Henry County, Vriginia. He was 75 years old. He died shortly after this marriage in 1837. His estate was settled in Tennessee in July, 1838. An inventory and appraisal for his Henry County, Virginia estate was signed by E. B. Turner. On the death recored of his son, John Wrenn, in the Henry County courthouse, the parents names are shown as James Chadwee and Mary Philpott. Could Samuel's complete name be James Samuel "Chadwee" Philpott? He was married to Mary "Polly" HANNAH on 12 Jan 1785 in Henry Co., Virginia.10,11 (Henry Co., VA Marriage Book 1 Page 2). Sur: John Philpott.10 3. Mary "Polly" HANNAH2,9 was born in 1762 in Virginia. She died in Dec 1823 in Tennessee.12 THIRD GENERATION 4. John T. PHILPOTT2,13 was born about 1720 in Charles Co., Maryland. He died before 30 May 1762 in Charles Co., Maryland. His will was dated October 16, 1761 and probated on March 30, 1762. His inventory was appraised on April 15, 1762 and his brothers William and Barton were listed. (Charles Co., Md. Inventory Liber 78 Folio 25-27.) The exact dates of John Philpott's birth, marriage and death are unknown. He was married for the first time around 1745 to Mary Posey. It is believed that they had two sons, David and John. She may have died giving birth to John around 1750. John's second wife was Mary Glover, widow of Richard Glover. Her madden name is believed to have been Keech. She was the administratrix of Richard Glowers estate around 1750 and had a son named Philip Glover. >From an inheritance from his father, Charles Philpott, and from a cousing named John Philpott, he became the owner of a large track of land in Charles County, Maryland known by the names "Courtes Pallace", "Cow Grave Yard", "Philpots Chance" and "Temleys Rest". He was also the owner of a track of land called "Walkers Runn". He was known in Charles County as a Planter, raised tobacco along with all the other necessities to run a big plantation. At his death around 1762 he owned 10 slaves in ages from 55 years to 2 years. At the time he wrote his last will his youngest son was not born, therefore not mentioned in his will. His death left his wife, Mary, responsible for 18 people, including her own son by her first marriage, and infant son, and slaves. David, the oldest son of John by his first marriage was around 16 years old at this time. Four and a half years later, on April 9, 1766, Mary wrote her will and died soon after. Her will was probated on May 18, 1766. By law, the estate would go to the eldest son. In her will, Mary stated "I give and bequeth unto my son Philip Glover all my right of Dower that I have in the Estate of my late Deceased Husband John Philpott". No guardian bonds were found for any of their children in Charles County. Philip Glover married Charity Philpott, the sister of Benjamin Philpott around 1765. It is normal to assume that, at first, Philip and Charity took care of the young Philpott children. Therefore his mother gave him her dower rights to her husband's estate to enable him to have a home for her orphan children. In the final settlement of John and Mary's estate it is disclosed that Philip was in charge since there was payment "Of Tobacco due Philip Glover for the rent of a plantation to finish the last mentioned crop for the last day of May". This indicates that Philip had charge of the affairs of his sick mother before she died. After her death, payment went to some one who finished that years crop of corn and tobacco. The widow's third was deducted and the legacy left Philip Glover in John Philpott's will, namely "a Bed and furniture and one cow and calf", was taken from the reappraised estate. It is believed the two boys, Charles Thomas age 13 and Zachariah age 8, went to Prince Georges County, Maryland to live with their Uncle Barton Philpott as their guardian. He was married to Mary E. KEECH in Aug 1747 in Charles Co., Maryland. 5. Mary E. KEECH2 died in 1766 in Charles Co., Maryland. Mary's first husband was Richard Glower. It is believed her maiden name was Keech. She was administratrix of Richard Glowers estate around 1750. They had one known son named Philip. She wrote her will on April 9, 1766 and it was probated on May 18, 1766. In her will she stated "I give and bequeth unto my son Philip Glover all my right of Dower that I have in the Estate of my late Deceased Husband John Philpott". 6. HANNAH2. FOURTH GENERATION 8. Charles PHILPOTT2 was born on 19 Feb 1698 in Charles Co., Maryland.14 In a deposition dated August 20, 1753 he stated he "was 55 years old and the son of Edward Philpott". He died before 12 Nov 1753 in Charles Co., Maryland. He died intestate. The inventory of his estate was dated November 12, 1753. He was baptized in Protestant. The exact dates of Charles Philpott's birth, marriage and death are unknown. In a deposition regarding land boundaries made on August 20, 1753, he states he is 55 years of age and the son of Edward Philpott. The land boundaries in question at this time was for a track of land called "Walkers Runn" which was a part of the estate of Edward Philpott. In the will of Edward Philpott dated August 19, 1718 he gave "All the remaining Part of my Land lying on the North Side of a Fresh Runn Called the Hospital Runn I Give & Devise to my son Charles Philpott & his heirs for Ever....". This will was wittnessed by a Sarah Smoot (Smoote). He married Elizabeth Smoote (Smoot), the daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth (Barton) Smoote. He and his wife lived the life of Planter in Charles County, Maryland on land inherited from his father Edward. Records show that Charles bought and sold land in the same County. On July 5, 1749 he gave a track of land known as "Walkers Runn" to his eldest son John. The family of William Philpott, a settler in Frederick Co., Maryland and a son of Charles, have a tradition that their ancestor Willliam was a son of Charles and Elizabeth Philpott who came to America from their home in Clouester Co., England in 1730. They landed at a place called Bennedict on the Patuxent River in Charles Co., Maryland and settled on a stream called Allen's Fresh 7 or 8 miles from Port Tobacco, Maryland. This is an interesting tradition since all of it is possible to have occured. Evidently they visited in England and on their return landed at Bennedict which is truly on Patuxent River. Since they owned a home near Allen's Fresh, it was normal to return home. The above tradition has been handed down from the memories of a friend, Reubin Davis. He was married to Elizabeth Barton SMOOTE before 5 Sep 1717 in Charles Co., Maryland. 9. Elizabeth Barton SMOOTE2 was born about 1698 in Charles Co., Maryland. She died before 1752 in Charles Co., Maryland. She was named in her fathers will. FIFTH GENERATION 16. Edward PHILPOTT II2,15 was born about 1660 in Charles Co., Maryland. He died before 1 Oct 1718 in Charles Co., Maryland. His will was dated 1718 and the inventory of his estate was dated 1 Oct 1718. The exact date of Edward Philpott's birth is unknown. It is believed he was 18 years old at the death of his father. It is estimated that he was married around 1686 to Susanna Posey, daughter of John Posey. He was a mature man when he married and in possession of his fathers land. Little is known about his life. It is assumed that he and his family lived the life of Planters in Maryland. Court records show that Edward entered in the business of a Planter and fulfilled his duties as a Planter in Charles County, Maryland. He had inherited his fathers lands. His signature appears on an article addressed to King William and Queen Mary, expressing the citizens loyalty and happpiness and gratitude in their preserving the Protestant Religion. His name appears on deeds for the purchase of land, one called "Philpott's Chance". At his death he owned around 1,000 acres of land in Charles County, Maryland. Edward's estate was appraised and an inventory given on October 1, 1718. It was a large inventory with value given "in money sterl as L450 Sh 6 d 2 3/4" with an addition for horses given as "L6 Sh10 d0". In the settlement of his estate the following is found recorded in pounds of tobacco: "Funeral charges...2000 lbs, To Dr. Gustovus Brown...1190 lbs, To Dr. Rutherford ...1016 lbs, To Tubman Nankin & Price for suite of clothes ..250 lbs. He was married to Susanna POSEY about 1686 in Charles Co., Maryland. 17. Susanna POSEY2,15 was born about 1672 in Charles Co., Maryland. She died before 1708 in Charles Co., Maryland. The exact dates of Susanna Posey's birth, marriage and death are unknown. It is known by other facts that she was a very young girl when she married Edward. Her mother was the first wife of John Posey and died when she was very young. 18. Thomas SMOOTE Jr.2 was born about 1660 in Pickawaxonhundrd, Charles Co., Maryland. He died on 30 Jan 1704/5 in Charles Co., Maryland. Thomas Smoote's will was dated January 6, 1704 and probated January 30, 1704 or 1705. He was married to Elizabeth BARTON on 15 Jun 1688 in Charles Co., Maryland.14 19. Elizabeth BARTON2 was born on 27 Feb 1671 in Charles Co., Maryland. She died about 1755 in Charles Co., Maryland. SIXTH GENERATION 32. Edward PHILPOTT I2,16,17 was born about 1597 in England. He died after 1678 in Charles Co., Maryland. He was buried in Charles Co., Maryland. The exact date that Edward Philpott came to Maryland has not been found. He was born in England around 1597, was in Maryland in 1649 or earlier, and died there in 1678. On September 9, 1667 he made a deposition stating he was age 70 years. On this statement he is said to have been born around the year 1597. (Liber C folio 212, 237-240 Md. Arch. Vol. 60 (1666-1674 pp 91, 199- 102.) Other depositions, however, state his age differently. In 1662, he received a patent to 100 acres of tidewater land in Maryland Province from Lord Baltimore II. He was a "Carpenter" by trade. The word "carpenter" in the 1600s is the same as what we call an architect today. This would classify him as a fine workman, in that field of service. He is declared also to be a wheelwright and in 1662 was recognized as a Planter by the officials in the Province of Maryland. To be a Planter was an aspiration of the early settlers of that section. He settled in Old Charles County, Maryland, near the Patusant River. He married Bridgett, whose surname has never been learned. It is assumed they were married in Maryland sometime between 1657 and 1659. She did not sign a deed that was signed by Edward, dated January 18, 1657, but was listed to testify for Capt. Jenkins at Court on November 14, 1659. These references prove that they were married between 1657 and 1659 and along with deeds on purchases of land it is known that their home was located in Charles County, Maryland on the North side of the Potomac River and West of Wiccomico River. Their home came to be known as "at the head of the Wiccomico River". Like names, this river also has several spellings (Wiackocomeko, Wiccomoco, etc.). >From court records about "suites", "deeds", "indentured servant", etc., it is acknowledged that Edward was a very agressive man. He worked as an "indentured servant" for one Levin Burkin Esq. and was transferred by Mr. Brukin to one Mr. Brooke of de la Brooke for a period of three months to satisfy a debt between these two gentleman. In his years he accumulated at least six hundred acres of land. He became a Planter, grew tobacco, and was active in the business of his day. It is estimated that he died around the age of 81. His wife appeared in court on February 26, 1679 stating that her husband had died intestate and ask that she be appointed adminestereux. An inventory of his estate was made on March 20, 1679. When David Philpott, Edward's great great grandson, sold the family lands in 1778, he set aside 30 square yards for a cemetery which his father and it is assumed his grand parents were buried. His widow, Bridget, married Robert Ingolsby (Inglesbees) of Charles County, Maryland according to records found in the Hall of Records, Annapolis, Maryland. The date of her death is unknown. Edward and Bridgett may have had four children, namely three sons's named John, Edward and Charles and a daughter named Mary. Edward is well documented in records in Maryland. Charles is recorded as "son of Edward born 19 February 1667". No other record of Charles or Mary has been found and it is assumed that they died in his youth. On 18 October 1716 a John Philpott purchased a James Bowe, a prisoner that had arrived on the ship "Good Speed" out of Liverpole. Based on the birthdate of Charles, this John Philpott could have been a son of Edward and Bridgett. No further research has been done. These four names, Edward, John, Mary and Charles have been passed down over the years in the Philpott family. He was married to Bridget between 1657 and 1659 in Charles Co., Maryland. 33. Bridget2 was born about 1637. She died after 1680. Her surname has never been learned. It is not known if she was born in England or Maryland. By the birthdates of her children, she must have been much younger than Edward. After the death of Edward Philpott, She married Robert Ingolsby (Inglesbees) of Charles County, MD. No research has been doen on any family that may have come out of this union. 34. John POSEY Sr.2,15 was born on 20 Jul 1652 in Charles Co., Maryland. He was seven years older than his half brother, Nicholas Belaine. He died before 24 Jul 1689 in Charles Co., Maryland. The inventory of his estate is dated 24 July 1689 A deed to purchase 200 acres of land called "St. Johns" from Thomas Allanson was issued on May 28, 1673 for 4,000 pounds of tobacco. At that time, one could not claim tittle to land until they were 21 years old. He had been renting this land since he was 18 years old. He paid the "alienation fee", a fee charged when land chnaged hands, on March 26, 1674. On October 6, 1674 he applied for a brand for his cattle and horses, which was required if you owned a great number of animals. He was married to Les Amalie BELAINE about 1670 in Charles Co., Maryland. 35. Les Amalie BELAINE2,15 was born about 1652. She died in 1716.15 Her first name may have been Susanna. 36. Thomas SMOOTE Sr.2 was born before 1634 in England. He died before 14 Feb 1667 in Charles Co., Maryland. The date on the inventory of his estate was Feb 14, 1667. In a chart created by Thomas Barton Philpott II of Shelbyvill, Tenn shows Thomas S. Smoot (1634-1688) married to Jane Batten on Jun 15, 1688. These dates to not agree with information in Meet Your Ancestors. He was married to Joan BATTEN in Maryland. 37. Joan BATTEN2 was born in 1634 in England. 38. William BARTON Jr.18,2 was born about 1634 in England. In a deposition in 1698 he stated his age to be 64 years. He died about 1717 in Charles Co., Maryland. He was prsent at Court as a Commissioner on November 2, 1672 and may have been appointed to this office much earlier. He has been referred to as Justice on March 2, 1675 and on December 13, 1680. In 1684 he was named among those regulating the affairs of the Militia in Charles Co., Maryland and referred to as Captian many times. In a deposition in 1698 he stated his age to be 64 years. He was present at Court as a Commissioner on November 2, 1672 and may have been appointed to this office much earlier. He had been referred to as Justice on March 2, 1675 and on December 13, 1680. In 1684 he was named among those regulating the affairs of the militia in Charles County, Maryland and referred to as Captain many times. He was married to Mary about 1666 in Charles Co., Maryland. 39. Mary18 was born about 1640. SEVENTH GENERATION 64. Henry PHILPOTT Mayor of Folkestone19,16,17 was born in 1544 in Folkestone, Kent, England. He died on 15 Jun 1603 in Folkestone, Kent, England.20 Henry Philpott was thrice mayor of Folkstone. He possessed considerable property there and was lessee of rectorial tithes. He died in 1603 and was buried in the Folkstone Parish Church where he is commemorated by a brass plate in the south chancel isle. >From his will, dated 1602, we learn that his son, John, was then a boy at school. His mother and the executors were directed to keep him at school and to pay for his education out of the proceeds of eighteen acres in Romney Marsh. When this was completed he was to be apprenticed to such trade as the executors thought most fit. On attaining his majority he was to recieve a sum of money equivalent to five year's profit on said land. So long as his mother lived he was to be paid ten pounds a year, but on her death the houses and lands in Folkstone which had been bequeathed to her were to pass to him. To his eldest brother, Thomas, was left a house in which he lived and lessee of the rectorial tithes and parsonages of Colred and Folkstone. To the two younger brothers, David and Henry, sums of money were left, payable on their majority. In addition to these four sons the will mentions one daughter, Elizabeth, who married Nicholas Tighman of Faversham and had a daughter named Judith. The other four children evidently died before their father. They were three sons, Edward, Robert and Willliam and one daughter, Julia. It is believed by most writers that Edward, Robert and William did not die before their father but migrated to America. He was married to Judith LEIGH about 1579. 65.
