| 451 | E. F. Elizabeth Fruit Elizabeth Pugh-Fruit is the daughter of Thomas Pugh and Elizabeth Pugh. Elizabeth's relationship to her parents is proven by a land deed dated 18 Sept. 1770, this deed mentions the relationships of her, her husband John Fruit, her father Thomas Pugh, her nephew William Husband (son of Herman Husband and Mary Pugh-Husband), and her brother James Pugh is witness. Her relationship is further proven when she and her husband John Fruit sign as witness ( in the section reserved for family) to her sister Mary Pugh's Quaker marriage to Herman Husband. Lastly, the fact that Elizabeth and her brother James Pugh are the only two known siblings to be buried next to their parents pretty much confirms their relationship. In 1768 Elizabeth's husband John Fruit and most of her siblings, namely John, Enoch, Jesse and James Pugh and her father Thomas Pugh signed the Regulator Advertisement # 9. In 1771 Elizabeth's husband John Fruit and her brother John Pugh were both indicted as regulators and for their involvement in crimes and riots leading up to the regulator rebellion. Elizabeth's sister Peninah and her mother Elizabeth were both deposed as witnesses. Both John Fruit and John Pugh were later pardoned of these crimes. * For more information, refer to documents under photo section. Elizabeth along with her husband John Fruit and their son John Fruit Jr. are buried next to her parents in the old "Pugh/Fruit/Campbell Cemetery" a small family cemetery located in the area of Liberty, NC. The cemetery was put on the adjoining corners of the land owned by the Pugh, Fruit, and Campbell families. Elizabeth married John Fruit and they had these seven children: 1. Sebilla Fruit m. John Husband the son of Herman Husband. 2. James Samuel Fruit m. 1st Martha Clark and 2nd Mary Reeder the widow of John Reeder. 3. Elizabeth Fruit m. Joab Harmon 4. Peninah Fruit m. William Fagan 5.

| 454 | Edward Thomas was the only son of Samuel S. Miles Thomas and wife Martha Patsy Edwards of Newberry County, South Carolina. Martha was the daughter of John Edwards and Mary Turner Edwards whose parents William Turner and Elizabeth Spraggins came to Newberry from Maryland by way of Halifax County, Virginia (ref., Annals of Newberry [published 1858] by Hon. John Belton O’Neall, pp.17, 49-50, 522). Elizabeth Spraggins was the daughter of William Spraggins and Martha Abney, the daughter of Dannett Abney and Mary Lee. John Belton O'Neall, author of "Annals of Newberry," was a son of Hugh O'Neall whose brother Henry Frost O'Neall married Mary Miles, daughter of Samuel Miles (1750-1807) of Newberry, who was a member of the Quaker community. The father of Samuel S. Miles Thomas is unverified but DNA studies strongly indicate he was Isaac Thomas (who married Mary Davies b. c1741), or Isaac's brother if that brother also married a Davies. Some family trees show Isaac as a son of Stephen Thomas, son of Tristram Thomas Jr. and connection back to a long Welsh ancestry. But a family tree by Craig Beeman said that Isaac's brothers were Abel, John, Nehemiah, and Timothy; though this tree lists their father was possibly Dr. Robert Sands Thomas or Evan Thomas. Recent YDNA test results for descendants of Samuel S. Miles Thomas show them matching descendants of four sons of Isaac Thomas, shown as the son of Tristram Thomas Jr. MtDna results also match descendants of a daughter of Isaac Thomas. Edward Thomas had two sisters, Elizabeth Thomas (circa 1785-1831) who married (18 Aug 1804 in Washington County, Maryland) Gabriel McCool, and Mary "Polly" Thomas (c1790-1830) who married before 1820 Archibald Irvin. Elizabeth Thomas married in Washington County, Maryland on August 18, 1804 to Gabriel McCool, son of James Adams McCool and Deborah Jay. The fact that this generation of Thomases went back to Maryland to visit relatives, to get married (possibly through an arranged marriage), perhaps also to be educated, then returned to Newberry, South Carolina, indicates an affluence that few Americans enjoyed during this period. Elizabeth Thomas and Gabriel McCool had one daughter, Harriet, who married her cousin Jackson Turner. They and their seven children migrated to Moorefield, Arkansas around 1869. A family story said that sons William, Robert, and Joe Turner were interested in the possibility of a racetrack that was to be built at Moorefield and induced the entire family to move there, although the racetrack never materialized. The family story indicates that the Turners' finances were not too adversely affected by the Civil War. On Jan. 31, 1820, Gabriel McCool, Archibald Irvin, and Edward Thomas filed suit in Newberry against Edward Thomas's aunt Mrs. Margaret Edwards whose husband had died before settling the estate of Edward's mother Mary Turner Edwards, of which he was executor, and distributing the rightful shares of the property to his siblings or their heirs. Margaret was refusing to relinquish the property her husband left, claiming it as her own. The same year she left South Carolina and joined a Quaker community in Ohio. A genealogical records researcher described her as having "fled to Ohio." Gabriel McCool was a Quaker, as was Samuel Miles of Newberry, probably the namesake of Samuel S. Miles Thomas. These were all associated with other Quaker families, so it is likely that Samuel S. Miles Thomas was a Quaker as well and perhaps a member of the very prominent Quaker Thomas family of Newberry, connecting back to the Welsh emigrant Tristram Thomas of Maryland. Several of this family settled in Orange Co., N.C., and later Marlboro Co., S.C., and most later became Baptists. There was an Edward Thomas born in 1761 in Marlboro Co., referenced in the Bush River Monthly Meeting. He may have been a brother of Samuel S. Miles Thomas or no relation. (Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy by Hinshaw, Volume I; also see Ancestors and Descendants of Tristram Thomas of Maryland, by Betty Ratliff Carson and Howard S. Hazlewood.) Bush River Monthly Meeting, in Newberry County, S.C., was established in 1770. Dr. Stephen B Weeks, in 'Southern Quakers and Slavery,' page 115, said: "The group of meetings clustering around Bush River was the most important in South Carolina." 1812: Edward Thomas was probably the same Edward Thomas who enlisted in Youngblood's 1st S.C. Regiment, South Carolina Militia during the War of 1812. Also in this unit were the Lundy brothers, Hezekiah and William Lundy, "the first white settlers in the Lineville area of Clay County." The Lundys "were given land grants for their service in the War of 1812 on Sep 9, 1835, along with Mark E. Moore and Robert C. Wilson." Edward Thomas married Sarah (Anderson?) in South Carolina or Georgia. She was 15 years younger, born in Georgia. Edward's older children were born in S.C., the younger ones in Georgia, so Sarah may have been a second wife. Some family trees give Sarah's maiden name as Anderson, though probably guessing. 1826-28 Edward Thomas moved to Georgia. 1830 census Newton County, Georgia: living next door to his sister Mary Thomas Irvin and her husband Archibald Irvin (born 1788 Ireland). 1840 Newton County, Georgia: still there next door to Archibald Irvin. 1842 (1841-44): Edward and Sarah Thomas and brother-in-law Archibald Irvin moved with their families to Goldville, Tallapoosa County, Alabama, when gold was discovered there in 1842. Archibald Irvin moved by 1850 to nearby Dudleyville, Chambers Co., AL. The town of Goldville boomed in 1842 but died by 1849 when most of the prospectors abandoned it and headed to California for the great gold rush there. 1850: Edward and Sarah Thomas lived in Tallapoosa County, Alabama. He was blind and his sons operated his farm. Married sons lived next door. It is thought that the Thomases and Irvins worked at mining but returned to farming after that didn't pan out. Adeline, Caroline and Martha Thomas all married rather late. They probably helped take care of their parents until their deaths. 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 also (see Find A Grave Memorial# 94358371). The children of Edward and Sarah Thomas were: 1. Adaline Thomas born 1817 SC m.after 1850 Jack Porter, had 1 son, Cornelius. John Porter is on the 1855 Alabama State census in Tallapoosa Co. 2. Gabriel born 1819 SC m. Elizabeth Smith 3. Samuel S. Miles "Archie" 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. Cornelius Thomas born 1831 GA m. E. & had 4 daughters 7. George Edward Thomas born 1833 m. Mary Ann Brown 8. Martha Ann Eda Thomas (1835 GA-1900) m. John Patty In 1860 "Eda Thomas" was living with her older brother David Thomas in Randolph Co., AL., single, and her age listed as 18 although she was 25. In 1862 she married John Patty and according to her grandnephew Samuel Thomas, had children Wm. Riley, Adeline, Nancy, Benny, Sarah, "and possibly another child of whom we have no record." (The Thomas Family, c1940, by Prentice W. Thomas, p. 3.) There were actually two more daughters: Martha Margaret and Mary Jane. John Patty (1840-1901) who married Martha Thomas (15 Apr 1862 Calhoun Co, AL) was born in Greene Co., S.C. Adline (Connell) Hulsey wrote: "Mr. Bill Abney...told me that John Patty was the oldest son of Charles W. [William] Patty & Nancy Caroline [Thomas] Patty." Bill Abney was a cousin of the Thomases. Charles and Nancy Caroline Patty lived at Edwardsville, Cleburn Co., AL. Some say Nancy's maiden name was Nabors and others say Thomas; some say she may have married first a Thomas. Martha A.E. Thomas, went to visit or live with them 1860-62. Charles W. Patty was a son of Charles Patty and Barbara Turner (1799-1864), daughter of William Turner, so John Patty and Martha Thomas apparently were cousins. His great-uncle James Patty (brother of Charles Patty's father Jesse) died in Newberry in 1795 where his estate was appraised by Martha Thomas Patty's uncle, Gabriel McCool (ref., Newberry County, South Carolina: Historical and Genealogical Annals By George Leland Summer, page 463; Newberry Will Book, p.312.) Summer, page 335 also mentions: "Patsy Edwards married THOMAS (Samuel S. Miles Thomas) and had children: Edward, Polly, and Elizabeth McCool. Gabriel D. Darlington and David N. Darlington were in Adams County, Ohio, who were, probably, sons-in-law of John Edwards."

Miles Thomas, Newberry, S.C. Edward Thomas + Sarah A. Thomas Death date and interment unverified. The family history said he lived and died "near Dadeville," which was actually north of there near Goldville, near the Clay County line (until 1870 this was Talladega County). His sons lived adjoining him and helping run the farm together, and all of them moved away after his death. The family scattered by 1860 and only a few of them are found in the 1860 census. Edward Thomas's eldest son Gabriel moved about 15 miles northwest to Millerville in Talladega County (now Clay) and died at his farm near Millerville Baptist Church. Either Edward or Sarah, or both, could have moved with Gabriel and died at Millerville for all we know. In 1856 Edward's son David married in Talladega County. In 1860 David and wife were living in Randolph County with his younger sister Martha Ann Eda Thomas. In 1862 several of the Thomas family were in Cleburne County. Whether David and Sarah both had died by 1862 and the remaining family went there is not known. | Thomas, Edward (P3618)

Martha was the daughter of John Edwards and Mary Turner Edwards whose parents William Turner and Elizabeth Spraggins came to Newberry from Maryland by way of Halifax County, Virginia (ref., Annals of Newberry [published 1858] by Hon.

John Pugh is the son of Thomas and Elizabeth Pugh. It is worth mentioning that John Pugh's sister Elizabeth Pugh married Elinor's brother John Fruit, this is only one example of the many connections between the Pugh and Fruit families.

| 464 | Elizabeth Pugh was born on 2 December 1709 in Pennsylvania and her parents are unknown. Note: There has been much speculation as to who Elizabeth's parents may be, some have suggested that Elizabeth was the daughter of Joseph Richardson and Elizabeth Bevan, while others speculate her parents are Isaac Richardson and Catherine Gandy, and there are those who suggest Elizabeth is the daughter of Henry/Harry Pugh and Catherine Roberts. This is not correct, research has proven that none of these couples were her parents. Elizabeth married Thomas Pugh in 1729/30 in Chester Pennsylvania, they were married by magistrate. Thomas Pugh was a Quaker and because of his marriage to Elizabeth he was disowned because Elizabeth was not a Quaker. In the year 1755 Elizabeth's husband Thomas Pugh is accepted back into the Quaker faith and a few years later four of Thomas and Elizabeth's children are accepted into the faith, namely Mary, Enoch, Jesse and John. Elizabeth and the other four children, Thomas, Elizabeth, Peninah and James never joined. *It should also be noted that Enoch, Jesse and John were all disowned as well as their father Thomas Pugh who was disowned again for the second time. In the same year 1755 Thomas and Elizabeth and family moved from Pennsylvania to North Carolina where Thomas and Elizabeth lived out the rest of their lives. Elizabeth Pugh died 2 Nov 1794, aged 85 years old as stated on her headstone. Elizabeth is buried next to her husband Thomas Pugh. Two of Thomas and Elizabeth's children, Elizabeth and James along with their spouses are buried next to them. Thomas and Elizabeth had the following children: 1. Elizabeth Pugh, married John Fruit 2. Mary Pugh, married Herman Husband 3. John Pugh, married Elinor Fruit 4. James Pugh, married Jane Patterson 5. Peninah Pugh, married William Walker 6. Thomas Pugh, married Barbara Amick 7. Jesse Pugh, married Elizabeth Stewart. 8. Enoch Pugh, married Esther Worthington. Burial information Thomas & Elizabeth Pugh's daughter Elizabeth Pugh-Fruit is buried in the same row (d.1783), along with her husband, John Fruit (d.1824) as well as their son John Fruit Jr (1798). Thomas and Elizabeth Pugh's son James Pugh (d.1810) and his wife Jane Patterson Pugh are buried in the next row. The Pugh/Fruit/Campbell Cemetery is a small family cemetery located in the area of Liberty, NC. The cemetery was put on the adjoining corners of the land owned by the Pugh, Fruit, and Campbell families. Today, this land is owned by the Gilmore Plant & Bulb Company. Stop in their office and they will direct you to the cemetery. It is located in a wooded section of land, near the back of the farm. The family legend was that the Pughs of Sandy Creek, Randolph County, North Carolina, migrated down the Shenandoah Valley to North Carolina. Sources: 1. North Carolina Will Book 2 p 34 2.

| 491 | Genealogist J.A. Kelly wrote the following in the William And Mary Quarterly in October 1931 on page 325, "Benjamin Borden, Shenandoah Valley Pioneer". "... That he was honest, intelligent, ambitious and enterprising is evident; no less so that the natural limitation imposed upon him by his primitive environment thwarted his plans for his own career and for the future of his family. ... His first recorded appearance in Virginia was apparently on January 21, 1734, when he was appointed one of the justices of the newly formed county of Orange. From that time till his death in 1743 his name appears frequently in land transactions in various parts of the Shenandoah Valley. His most important enterprise was the settlement of "The Patent for Borden's Great Tract" which was granted to him from King George II on 6 November 1739 by William Gooch Esquire, the Lieutenant Governor at Williamsburg, Virginia for 92,100 acres in what later became Rockbridge County." Parcels of this land became the campuses for Washington and Lee University and Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, Virginia. [Many unproven legends and inaccurate information about his birth date, parents and how he obtained this land abound.] Benjamin Borden's father, Benjamin, was born at Portsmouth, Rhode Island May 16, 1649. In 1665 Benjamin Jr. settled on some of his father's lands in Monmouth County, New Jersey where he held elective positions. His father married Abigail Grover September 1, 1670, who died January 8, 1720. His father then married Susannah Page who administered his estate in 1728. Benjamin Jr's brother, Joseph (1687-1765) was the first English child born in Portsmouth and was the founder of Bordentown and a leading citizen of New Jersey. The father of Benjamin's mother was James Grover, who was active in the settlement of East Jersey. He was one of the grantees of the Monmouth County patents in 1663. Benjamin was born in Monmouth County, New Jersey April 6, 1675 where he resided before moving to Freehold, Virginia. He died in 1743 near Winchester, Virginia about the time of his appointment as one of the original justices of Frederick county. His wife, Zeruiah Winter was his cousin, being a daughter of of William Winter who married Hannah Grover, the daughter of the James and Rebecca Grover. He and Zeruiah had (three sons and seven daughters), all except the youngest born in Middletown, New Jersey. The Fifth Lord Fairfax married the daughter of Lord Culpepper and by this alliance obtained possession of Culpepper grants in Virginia that had been issued by James II of England to Culpepper, for lands known as the "Northern Neck" which included ten counties in lower Shenandoah Valley. Borden was Lord Fairfax's agent in America and was therefore known as "Fairfax Ben". Benjamin's home plantation known as "Borden's Great Spring Tract" of 3143 acres, granted him 3 Oct 1734, which shared a boundary Greenway Court, the home of Lord Fairfax, on the S-E. Borden's house stood at or near the present residence in what is now Clark County. In September 1737 Fairfax Ben Borden became anxious to establish the boundary lines of his land grant. He had agreed to deed to each resident settler 100 acres of land and promised the privilege of buying land at the rate of 50 shillings for 100 acres. Each cabin meant 1000 acres granted to Borden. James McDowell, was educated & grew to manhood in Ireland. He had located in Borden's Grant in the spring, and raised a crop of corn on the South Fork of the Shenandoah near Woods's gap. One night, Benjamin Borden, Jr. came up and asked leave to spend the night there. Borden exhibited documents which satisfied the McDowells he held the grant for the large body of land, and he offered to give one thousand acres to anyone who could help. Assisted by James Wood, Orange Co. surveyor, when Borden left the grant in 1739, having secured his grant, he committed his interests largely to John McDowell, who attended to them in his absence. John McDowell and his wife, Magdalene, then were responsible for bringing into the grant most of the 92 original families in 1738-1739, and the deed for the grant was recorded in 1739 for a total of 92,100 acres. John McDowell with eight of his men, on December 25, 1742 fell into an ambush and was killed by indians. Just about a year later his widow married Benjamin Borden III. It seems Benjamin Jr. followed the pattern of land speculation of his father. There is documentation of purchases from 1700 through 1743 by him and his wife, Zeuriah. At the time of his death he possessed approximately 130,000 acres of land in Virginia and New Jersey. In his will he leaves his lands in New Jersey as well as land in Bullshire, Smith's Creek, North Shenandoah and James River, except 5000 acres which is devised to his daughters, Abigail Worthington, Rebecca Bronson, Deborah Borden, Lydia Borden and Elizabeth Borden; other legacies and devises to sons: Benjamin, John and Joseph; and his wife, Zeuriah and daughter Marcy Fearnley, the Wife of William Fearnley. In 1746 Zeuriah, on account of bodily infirmities, resigned and Benjamin took the estate. In April 1753 Benjamin Borden III died. Law suits and counter suits between the daughter Lydia, who married Jacob Peck, and her descendants vs. descendants of her brothers and sisters, regarding the settling of the estate, continued for about one hundred and fifty years. Records concerning this legal battle are said to fill a filing cabinet in the Clerk's office at Staunton (Augusta County, formerly Orange County), Virginia. Benjamin Borden, Jr., because of his close and profitable relationship with Lord Fairfax, is referred to as "Fairfax Ben" in these legal records. Affidavits and other records in this file are of much value in tracing descendants of Benjamin and proving the relationship between the White County Burdens and the earlier generations of the Borden family.
