| 1001 | Wife of Edward Thomas. She died sometime between 1852-60. A family tree online gives her date of death as 10 Aug 1852 in Randolph County, Alabama, though no source is stated. She was apparently still living Dec. 25, 1852: Edward and Sarah Thomas were members of Bethlehem-New Salem Baptist church at New Site, Tallapoosa County, from 21 March 1846 to 25 Dec 1852 when they were dismissed by letter. Their son Gabriel Thomas and wife Elizabeth were also members until the Christmas 1852 dismissal (see Find A Grave Memorial# 94358371). The Thomases may have become members of Concord Primitive Church near Wadley, Randolph Co., AL., where her son David Thomas married Ailsey McCain in 1856, so Sarah Thomas could be buried in the cemetery there. The McCains were members of this church. They may have had connections to Archibald Irvin who married Edward Thomas's sister Mary Thomas, and it's possible that Edward's son Archibald was named for him. Several family trees online give Sarah's maiden name as Anderson (not verified). Edward Thomas married Sarah in South Carolina or Georgia, probably Georgia. She was 15 years younger, born in Georgia (per the 1850 census). Edward's older children were born in S.C., the younger ones in Georgia, so Sarah probably was a second wife. Or the census taker in 1850 could have made a mistake. Some family trees give Sarah's maiden name as Anderson, though probably guessing because her son or stepson David A. Thomas was the father of John Anderson Thomas. DNA results strongly indicate the first wife of Edward Thomas was indeed an Anderson and that they probably married in Pennsylvania. She appears to have been a daughter of William Marshall Anderson and Elizabeth Willett who moved from Birdsville, Anne Arundel, Maryland to Bedford, Pennsylvania in 1790. Edward's sister Elizabeth definitely married in Maryland, in Warren County in 1804. There might be some connection to Henry Anderson (1816/18-1884) who lived in Newton Co, GA. 1850 & 1860 and whose wife was Charlotte Thomas Askew (1817-1894). They lived in Newton County, Georgia, in 1850 and 1860 along with their son David Anderson (b.1846). 1826-28 Edward Thomas moved to Georgia. 1830 census Newton County, Georgia: living next door to Mary Thomas Irvin and her husband Archibald Irvin (born 1788 Ireland). 1840 Newton County, Georgia: still there. Archibald Irvin after 1840 moved from Newton County to Chambers County, Alabama, and after 1850 to nearby Dudleyville, Tallapoosa Co., AL. 1841-44: Edward and Sarah Thomas and families moved to Tallapoosa County, Alabama 1850: Edward and Sarah Thomas lived in Tallapoosa County, Alabama. He was now blind and his sons operated his farm. The children of Edward and Sarah Thomas were: 1. Adaline Thomas born 1817 SC m. Jack Porter 2. Gabriel born 1819 SC m. Eliz. Smith 3. Samuel S. Miles Archibald ("Archie Miles") Thomas born 1821 SC m. Rebecca Eliz. Parker 4. Caroline Thomas born 1825 SC (never married) 5. David A. Thomas born 1829 GA m. Ailsey McCain 6.

| 1007 | Wife of William McBrayer (1696) Died in Hamilton Township, on Monday, the 12th inst., one of the first settlers, and it is supposed the oldest inhabitant of the County. Mrs Rebecca M'Brier, aged 101, relict of the late William M'Brier. Mrs M'Brier was a native of Ireland, and emigrated to this country about the year 1737, soon after which her husband purchased and settled on a tract of land within about 7 miles of town, where they spent the remainder of their days. She was a woman of athletic habit, even temper, and as the poet expresses it, "with a little pleat'd", and possessed to the day of her death a degree of mental and bodily strength, unusual to persons of her advanced years. She was a firm believer in, and practicer of, the doctrines of the New Testament. Being deprived sometime before her death, (by failure of her eyesight) of her favorite amusement of reading, she seemed to wish for that final change from mortality to immortality, in which the righteous are at rest. On Tuesday her remains were deposited by the side of her husband in the old burial ground near Brown's Mill. (Obituary) She had been blind for some years. She was helping her daughter-in-law, Agnes, with the household duties when she remarked, "I guess I'll go lie down a bit" and when they went to her she had passed away without a struggle.

The record recites that his heirs were his widow, Rebecca, and his children, James, Samuel, William, David, and Sarah, who married to Andrew Taylor, all of full age. The deed shows that in 1796 Samuel and William McBrayer, both of Rutherford County, North Carolina, sold their interest in this property to David McBrayer for 69 pounds, 10 shillings. It further states that James had died, unmarried and intestate in May 1796.

| 1026 | William Speer was born in 1758 on the eastern shores of Maryland, and died in 1859 in Jefferson County, Alabama. His father was Jacob Speer and his mother was Elizabeth (name unknown). In 1771, William married Mildred Estep, she was born in Surry County North Carolina in 1764 and died in Jefferson County Alabama in 1850. William Speer's Revolutionary War service record reveals that he spentthree months in Captain Samuel Mosely's Company and three months as ensign in Captain Henry Speer's Company (his brother), Col. JosephPhillip's Regiment. He then spent three months as a private in CaptainDavid Humphries Company, Col. James Martin's Regiment. All of these were North Carolina troops. The North Carolina tax list for 1782 shows William Speer living in SurryCounty, but in 1801 he moved to Boonesboro, Kentucky. Family descendants says he was friends with Daniel Boone and his son William Speer Jr. diedat Boonesboro. William Speer left Kentucky in 1824 and moved to Alabama. On February13, 1856, when he was 97 years old, he was given veterans pension by the United States Government for being a veteran of the Revolutionary War. William and Mildred Estep Speer are buried in Bivens Cemetery on the OldJasper Road, Jefferson County, Alabama. The General Sumpter Chapter ofthe DAR has placed a marker on his grave. His name is also inscribed ona memorial boulder in Woodrow Wilson Park, Birmingham, Alabama, which includes 17 other Revolutionary War soldiers buried in Jefferson County,Alabama. The William Speer Chapter of the DAR in Birmingham, Alabama isnamed in his honor. Written by Allen Paul Speer III SPEER, WILLIAM (1758 - 1859) William Speer was born in Somerset County, Maryland in 1758 and was a son of Jacob Speer, Sr. and his wife, Elizabeth. I have never determined the maiden name of Elizabeth. Jacob Speer, Sr. was born March 3,1725 in Somerset County and was a son of Henry and Jane Calloway Speer and a grandson of Andrew Speer who had come to Maryland from Donegal Ireland. William Speer and his brother, John are the ancestors of most of the Speer-Spear families in Cumberland county today. William Speer moved with his parents from Maryland to Surry County, North Carolina in 1771 when he was 18 years old. At that time two brothers of Jacob, Sr. made the move to North Carolina also. These were Andrew and Aaron. In 1805 a large migration of the Speer family left Surry County, North Carolina and migrated to Cumberland County. William Speer had married Millie or Amelia Estep in Rowan County in 1781 and they had moved to Madison County, Kentucky in 1801. The group from Surry County may have come by way of Madison County for William and his family came to Cumberland County at the same time as those from Surry. The Speer families settled on Sulphur and Kettle creeks and on the ridge between those two creeks now known as Pea Ridge or Spears Ridge. While living in Madison County, Kentucky William Speer's eldest daughter, Elizabeth was married to Valentine Bivens and the youngest child, Mildred was born in Madison County. William and Amelia Speer were the parents of Elizabeth, Isaac, Abraham, James, Susannah, Caty, William and Millie. James Speer married Penelope Jacks and Abraham married Sarah Shuelt. Millie the youngest daughter married Bennett Brake. Most of these children moved to Tennessee and Alabama. James Speer went on to Limestone County, Texas. Isaac Speer married Elizabeth Atkins. Isaac and Abraham remained in the County. Isaac died in 1876 and Abraham in 1881 and they are buried at Spears Chapel cemetery near Peytonburg. William Speer lived in Cumberland County until 1824 when he moved to Jefferson County, Alabama where two other daughters were living. At that time William Speer was sixty-six years old and he probably thought that he did not have too many years left so he and Amelia wanted to be near their daughters. However, William Speer was to live another thirty-five years for he died in 1859 well past the age of 101 years. He is buried in the Bivens Chapel cemetery south of Birmingham, Alabama beside his wife Amelia. In 1856 William Speer applied for a Revolutionary pension. In his application he stated that he had enlisted in 1780 in Surry County, North Carolina and served as an Ensign in Captain Henry Speer�s Co. Captain Speer was an older brother of William. In the fall of 1781 he enlisted for another term as a private in Captain David Humphrey's Co. and Colonel James Martin's Regiment. He was granted a pension February 13,1866 when he was 98 years of age. When asked why he had not applied earlier he stated, "I have always been in easy circumstances and did not need it". William Speer's name is on a memorial boulder in Woodrow Wilson park in Birmingham along with twenty three other Revolutionary veterans who died in Jefferson County. There is a marker on his grave placed by the General Sumpter chapter of the DAR The William Speer chapter of the DAR in Birmingham is named in his honor. William Speer has thousands of descendants in the United States. There are hundreds in Cumberland County.

| 1028 | William was born in Scotland or Northern Ireland. He married Rebecca ? Abt. 1729 in Ireland. She was born Abt. 1704 in Ireland ?, and died August 12, 1805 in Hamilton Twp, Franklin Co., PA. Some researchers show William's origin as Dumfries or Galloway, Scotland. Although strong evidence points to his birth place as Scotland, there are indications he could have been of Irish birth, but most definitely of Scottish parentage. It is possible he was born at Killyleagh in County Down, Northern Ireland. WWW.familysearch.org, an internet site devoted to genealogy, has a submitter that indicated William McBrayer was christened on 7 June 1716 in County Down, Ireland. This is unverified information. He came to America about. He migrated westward and settled in the Cumberland Valley of old Lancaster County, PA (now Franklin Co.) His farm was located near the junction of Back Creek and the Conococheague River, which flows through the present town of Chambersburg. He was taxed during the years of on acres of land. (Pa. Archives, Vol XX, 3rd Ser., pp 178,314,440,584) It wasn't until after the American Revolution and the foundation of Franklin County that William had his land surveyed, (26 Apr 1785), and a warrant or patent was finally issued to him on 8 Nov 1785. The parcel of land contained 137 1/4 acres. As was the custom and the law in those days, William was required to name his property. According to the grant, he chose to call it "Williamsburg". The present town of Williamson, PA, is situated in the approximate area of his "Williamsburg". It isn't known if the two names are related, but due to the proximity, it can safely be assumed they are. ( It is said that he was out mowing the fence corners, when about the middle of the forenoon he said to his son, David, I guess I'll go to the house and lie down a bit.

Prior to 1860, Wilson's father moved the family to Claiborne Parish, Louisiana, where Stephen, Mary, and Wilson were listed as residents in census records from 1860 and 1870. After 1870, the family relocated to Camilla, Georgia and before 1880 to nearby Cairo, in Thomas (later Grady) County. Wilson obtained his medical degree during this period, and he and his father were two of only four physicians serving that part of Thomas County. Wilson also became the proprietor of a dry goods general store in nearby Whigham in 1880. On 22 June 1887, Wilson was married to Mary Ousley, whose father was minister of Cairo's Methodist church in 1884-1885 and 1888-1889. The couple had five children, all of whom were born in Cairo. About 1896, Wilson moved his family to Quitman, where they lived for the next 14 years and where he established several businesses, including one of the first local automobile dealerships. In 1906, while living in Quitman, his mother died. Then in 1909, his oldest child Wilson, Jr., died of a massive heart attack at the age of 20. Perhaps concerned about his own health issues, Wilson moved the family shortly thereafter to Atlanta, where they bought a house in the neighborhood of Inman Park. They also purchased as an investment property the Leland Hotel, located downtown at 29-31 Houston Street. It was at their Inman Park home in December 1910 that Wilson died of a heart related condition. | Davis, Dr. Wilson Asbury Sr (P3008)

| 1034 | `````````````````````````````````````````````````` In 1748, "Hunting" John McDowell received a land grant for property known today as "Pleasant Gardens" including acreage originally located from Swan's Pond (Catawba County) up the Catawba River west to present day Marion and into the region known as Buck Creek. During a hunting expedition with his friend Henry Weidner, the two came upon a lush green valley with thousands upon thousands of acres of virgin forest. During that time, it was customary when settling a dispute to engage in a "friendly" wrestling match. McDowell came out the winner. "Hunting" John McDowell received two land grants and after establishing residence along the Catawba River of Pleasant Gardens, raised his family. He is noted in Max Dixon's, "The Wautagans" as being instrumental in Jacob Brown's Purchase of one of the last remaining pieces of acreage along the Nolichucky River in Tennessee when he hosted a negotiation with the Cherokee on his farm in North Carolina. His son, Joseph McDowell, is noted in history as a significant contributor to the "Battle at Kings Mountain". McDowell County is named in his honor. Today, his home stands as one of the few remaining homes in North Carolina still standing and built by its namesake. The settlement of Old Fort was later established and it had become the westernmost outpost of Colonial civilization at the time. These early pioneers established a close community protected by a series of forts which remained active until the early 19th century. Thus, Old Fort. In 1793, Colonel John Carson built a plantation house near Buck Creek in the Pleasant Gardens community, which still stands today as the Historic Carson House. He also operated gold mines in the southern part of the county. Colonel Carson was a significant historical figure in the American Revolutionary War. Marion, the county seat of McDowell County, was planned and built on land selected by the first McDowell County Commissioners on March 14, 1844 at the Historic Carson House. It was not until 1845, however, that the official name of Marion was sanctioned as the county seat by the state legislature. The name of Marion came from Francis Marion, the American Revolutionary War hero, known as the SWAMP FOX and the man upon whom the movie, "The Patriot", was based. McDowell County is rich in American Civil War History. The movie "Last of the Mohicans" was filmed along the shores of the picturesque Lake James. McDowell County was first formed in 1842 from parts of Burke County and Rutherford County. It was named for Joseph McDowell, a Revolutionary War leader and hero of the Battle of King's Mountain, and a member of the United States House of Representatives from 1797 to 1799. In 1861, parts of McDowell County, Burke County, Caldwell County, Watauga County, and Yancey County were combined to form Mitchell County. (wikipedia.org) | McDowell, John “Hunting” (P3269)

During a hunting expedition with his friend Henry Weidner, the two came upon a lush green valley with thousands upon thousands of acres of virgin forest. During that time, it was customary when settling a dispute to engage in a "friendly" wrestling match. McDowell came out the winner. "Hunting" John McDowell received two land grants and after establishing residence along the Catawba River of Pleasant Gardens, raised his family. He is noted in Max Dixon's, "The Wautagans" as being instrumental in Jacob Brown's Purchase of one of the last remaining pieces of acreage along the Nolichucky River in Tennessee when he hosted a negotiation with the Cherokee on his farm in North Carolina. His son, Joseph McDowell, is noted in history as a significant contributor to the "Battle at Kings Mountain". McDowell County is named in his honor. Today, his home stands as one of the few remaining homes in North Carolina still standing and built by its namesake.
