Notes for Solomon Tharp:      According to Tharp researcher, Elaine Tharp Dean, Solomon enlisted in the 4th Regiment of the state of New Jersey January 15, 1777 and servered as a private under the command of Col. Ephraim Martin.  During his time in the service he received pay of $6.66 per month.  According to the paymaster, he was last paid for the month of January 1779, so we can assume that he was discharged about then.  During his service he was at Valley Forge and at Morristown, New Jersey, the headquarters of General Washington, and at the siege of Yorktown where General Cornwallis was defeated.  After his Revolutionary War service he and his young family moved to the Shenandoah area, in Culpepper Co., VA, near the Rapidan River.  The family moved to Bedford Co., VA about 1799 and then to Champaign Co., OH, settling at King's Creek.  They were in this area before 1811, and then by 1820 had removed to Logan Co., OH.  It was here that Hannah (Tate) Tharp died, according to the census, between the years 1830 and 1840.      Solomon went on to Cass Co., MI with some of the children in 1842.  He died there in 1849 and was buried near Cassopolis, Cass Co., MI.  The cemetery no longer exists.  Some graves were removed to Reames-Norton Cemetery, though there is no evidence that the grave of Solomon was among those relocated  Nevertheless, a grave stone, with adjacent bronze plaques, has been installed there by the DAR (about 4 rows from the western boundary and 10 plots in from the southern boundary).      The plaque on the left bears his name and that on the right reads:      Solomon Tharp, New Jersey, Pvt. in N.J. Regiment Revolutionary War 1753-1849.      A memorial to Solomon Tharp, ancestor of many buried here, Revolutionary War Soldier, 1777-1778.      Was at Valley Forge 1777-1778.      Fought for his countrymen's liberty at Brandywine, Germantown, Monmouth, Springfield and Yorktown.      He marched with the New Jersey Continental Army through West New York, Senecca Indian settlements.      Eternal Vigilance and Sacrifice and the Price of Liberty.

561. Hannah Tate, born March 19, 1754 in Millcreek Hundred, New Castle County, Delaware; died Abt. 1835 in Logan County, Ohio. She was the daughter of 1122. William Tate and 1123. Martha Dixon.

Notes for Hannah Tate:      The Tates were Quakers with the Kennett Monthly Meeting in Chester County, Pennsylvania.  She was excommunicated on July 14, 1774 in the said Kennett Monthly Meeting.  The meeting minutes read: "Whereas, Hannah Tharp (formerly Tate) hath had a Right of Membership amongst us the People called Quakers but for want of a Strict attention to the Dictates of Truth in her Heart hath So far Erred as to have Carnal knowledge with him that is now her Husband before Marriage and Accomplished Said Marriage by a Magestrate.  Therefore for Clearing the Society from the Reproach Such Conduct Ocassions we Account the Said Hannah Tharp no member thereof Until by Repentance and Amendment of life She shalt Condemn her Said Outgoings which that she may Happily Experience is our Sincerest Desire.  Given forth by our Monthly Meeting of Kennett held the 14th of the 7th Month 1774 and Signed by order of the Society.  By Caleb Peirce, Clerk".

565. Elizabeth Linksweiler, born Unknown in Germany; died Unknown.

570. Zackery Key, born Abt. 1744 in Kentucky; died Unknown.

572. Adam Guthrie, born possibly Bet. 1740 - 1745 in probably Ireland; died Bef. August 20, 1827 in Cumberland County, Kentucky.  He married 573. Mary Anderson possibly Abt. 1770 in probably Augusta County, Virginia.

Notes for Adam Guthrie      "First Families of Tennessee"; East Tennessee Historical Society; 2001 states that Adam Guthrie was born in Ireland, with little else known of Adam's early years.  There are no land, tax or militia records for Adam in Augusta County, Virginia yet I suspect he was in Augusta County in the 1765 to 1770 timeframe.  One reason is because the will of George Anderson of Augusta County, which was proved in the year 1789, identified Adam as his son-in-law.  George and his family were very early settlers in the South River area of the Shenandoah River in the northeast extreme of the Berkeley Manor tract and it is assumed that Adam immigrated to this same area.  This was an area of significant Scotch Irish immigration and it is supposed that Adam migrated to this area, met Mary Anderson and married her there, probably in the 1765-1770 timeframe.  It may be that he was drawn to this area by relatives who had preceded him, as according to the "Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia, Vol. 1" by Lyman Chalkley; The Commonwealth Printing Co., Roslyn, Virginia; 1912, page 211 "James Brown and Adam Guthery granted certificates as nephews and heirs at-law of James Dunlap, deceased, who served as Lieutenant in Capt. Hog's Company of Rangers and was destroyed by the enemy at the fort in the upper tract of the South Branch of Potomac in 1758, and James and Adam are the only legal heirs now in this State."  Further description is noted in the Fort Seybert Massacre extracted from "Chronicles of Border Warfare" by Alexander Scott Withers, Edited and Annotated by Reuben Gold Thwaites; Stewart & Kidd Company, Cincinnati; 1895, "Seybert's Fort was situated on the South Fork, twelve miles northeast of Franklin, in Pendleton County.  At the time of this invasion, there was a fort located on the South Branch, garrisoned by Capt. James Dunlap and a company of rangers from Augusta county.  Preston's Register states, that on the 27th of April, 1758, the fort at which Capt. Dunlap was stationed, was attacked and captured, the captain and twenty-two others killed; and, the next day, the same party, no doubt, attacked Seybert's Fort, killing Capt. Seybert and sixteen others, while twenty-four others were missing.  Washington at the time, placed the number as 'about sixty persons killed and missing.'"  Lastly, "Fincastle and Kentucky, Virginia - Kentucky Records and History Vol. 1" by Michael L. Cook and Bettie Anne Cook; Cook Publications; 1987 records a lawsuit of March 3, 1773 in Order Book No. 1 County Court for James English v. Adam Gutterey, on command.  Suit being agreed, case dismissed.  This book also records a subsequent lawsuit of May 3, 1774 in Order Book No. 2 County Court for James Inglis v. Adam Guthry, on attachment.  Isaac Riddle and George Armstrong entered themselves as sureties for the defendant.  Robert Topp not appearing as garnishee, attachment ordered against him.  Continued.  It would seem this demonstrates that Adam was living in Fincastle County at that time.  There were several John, James and William Andersons in the region at this time, but not enough information is given to distinguish them as Augusta County Andersons.      Some Anderson relation explored the Southwest territory that would become East Tennessee at an early day.  In "Augusta County, Virginia in the History of the United States" by Boutwell Dunlap; The Kentucky State Historical Society, Frankfort; 1918, page 54 "Colonel John Sawyers, who conducted Gilbert Christian and William Anderson, both from Augusta county, in an exploring trip as far as Hawkins county, Tennessee, in 1768-69."  In what seems at first to be somewhat conflicting information, letters from George Christian to Lyman C. Draper appear to place Adam in territory that would eventually become East Tennessee in and around the same timeframes as mentioned above.  These letters contain interesting information about the early settlers and history of East Tennessee.  Some of the content as reprinted in "The King's Mountain Men" by Katherine Keogh White; reprinted for Clearfield Coumpany, Inc. by Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc.; Baltimore, Maryland; 2002 includes, "My father Gilbert Christian was a native of the State of Virginia, born and raised in Augusta county about the year of 1723-4 (sic), and was the son of Robert Christian, there were two other brothers, John and William.  All three settled on Christian creek, which took its name from the three brothers.  They were the first settlers of that country."  This area was in Beverley Manor not far from where the Andersons settled.  "Father was married in 62 or 3 to Margaret Anderson, daughter of George Anderson of Middle river, Augusta Co., Va. (my note - this would make Gilbert Christian and Adam Guthrie brothers-in-law) ... I think from what I can find out since I wrote you, Father must have moved to Holston in 72 or 3, made a temporary settlement on the waters of Reedy Creek, seven or eight miles from Holston river from whence he removed in the Autumn of '75 to Holston river, at the mouth of Reedy creek opposite the Long Island, where we remained until the next summer at the breaking out of the Cherokees."  This area would have been near where current day Kingsport, Tennessee is located.  With boundaries not well established in those days this location might have been considered either Virginia or North Carolina territory, and in fact, Fincastle County extended all the way down to what would eventually become the Tennessee state line.  The location on Reedy Creek, seven or eight miles from Holston river would almost certainly have been in Fincastle County territory and, in fact, another researcher identifies Gilbert Christian in 1774 as a Lt. in the Fincastle County militia and the commander of Kings Mill Fort built on the North Fork of the Reedy Creek.  Christian goes on to write, "At this time they were five children of us, one daughter the oldest of us.  The first intimation we had of the approach of the Indians was given to us by a trader named, I think, Ellis Harlan...On the first intimation of the hostile movements of the Cherokees, the frontiersmen left their farms and collected in Stations or in some cases several families banded together for mutual defense as was the case with us.  On rec't of the intelligence bro't by Mr. Harlan we were removed some miles to James Clendennin's where they were eight or ten families collected I think with intent to build a fort.  But after collecting at this place a second express arrived, more alarming than the first...So urgent was the news that an attack was apprehended for that same evening.  It was thought it would begin about three o'clock.  At this time Father was home having gone to the farm.  Our horses all in the woods, mother had a brother and brother-in-law in company.  Her brother in bad health, each of those had a wife and one child...But a little before sunset Mother and all her children were all mounted and on the road for the interior...We then proceeded at a rapid pace until dark closed in, which checked our progress, but we were flying for our life, so the difficulty was encountered cheerfully.  We must have traveled some 15 miles this night.  Was joined next day by Father, who conveyed us some forty miles to a relation, Mr. Trimble, where he left us and returned to Eaton...From Trimble's Mother with her brother John Anderson and her Brother-in-law, Adam Guthery, proceeded to Augusta where we remained until the Autumn of '78, when Father, who had stayed on the Holston, went on with a wagon and brought us home."  What was being described here became the Battle of Island Flats.  Is it possible that Adam was in Augusta County circa 1770, then Fincastle County by 1773 before going to the territory that was to become East Tennessee, then back to Augusta about the time mentioned in Chalkley's?  Or was there another Adam Guthrie in Virginia at this time?      George Christian's letter clearly identifies Adam Guthrie as the same Adam in George Anderson's will, and identifies Adam as a very early settler in the Southwest territory that would eventually become East Tennessee.  What is not known for certain is whether Adam returned to the Holston and Long Island region in 1778 when the Christian family returned.  The chances are very good that he did indeed return at that time.  We do know that he was in the area by 1787 when his name (Adam Guthery) is among those on a petition filed to form the State of Franklin from the North Carolina western territory, as was his brother-in-law Gilbert Christian and his nephew George Christian.  Also included is the signature of James English.  This is very likely the James English/Inglis from the Fincastle County lawsuits above.  A transcription of this petition, including a transcription of the names of all those who signed the petition, can be found here (opens a new window which can be closed to return to this page).  Adam's signature can be found on the reverse side of the petition.      Adam stayed on in this territory, as evidenced by the following deed of Greene County North Carolina District, Deed Book 3, page 454:   12 Jan 1793 State of North Carolina No. 1234 To all to whom these presents shall come greetings: Know ye that we for and in consideration of the sum of fifty shillings for every hundred acres hereby granted paid into our Treasury by Adam Guthrie have given and granted and by these presents do give and grant unto the said Adam Guthrie a tract of land containing one hundred and twenty three acres lying and being in our County of Greene.  Beginning at a post oak on the north bank of French Broad River on a corner of James Hubbards land,then north three hundred and twenty five poles with said Hubbards line to a stake standing thereon then due east until it strikes the river a persimon then down the meanders to the beginning.  As by the plat hereunto annamed doth appear together with all woods, waters, mines, minerals, hereditaments and appurtinances to the said land belonging or appertaining to hold the said Adam Guthrie his heirs and assigns forever yielding and paying to us such sums of money yearly or otherwise as out general assembly from time to time may direct provided always that the said Adam Guthrie shall cause this grant to be registered in the registers office of the said County of Greene within the time limited by law otherwise the same shall be void and of no effect.  In testimony whereof we have caused these our sellers to be made patent and our great seal to be hereunto affixed witness Richard Dobbs Spaight Esquire our governor Captain General and commander in Chief.  At Newbern the 12th day of January in the 17th year of our Independence and in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and ninety three. Richard Dobbs Spaight By his exellence Commander J. Glasgow Secretary Recorded in the Registers office in Greene County The 23d day of October 1794 by James Stinson Clk. This deed predates Tennessee statehood, and so was part of North Carolina's Greene County in North Carolina's western territory.  This property lies in what is now current day Sevier County, Tennessee.  Adam's property bordered that of James Hubbard (Hubbert) and was on the French Broad River just above Bryant's Ferry.  James was noted for his hatred of the Indians because his father's family in Virginia had been cruelly murdered by the Shawnees.  His hated was so deep that his actions were not always honorable as demonstrated by his command to murder Old Tassell, a Cherokee, and his son under a flag of truce in 1788.  The second wife of James Hubbard was Elizabeth Anderson, possibly a relative to Mary Anderson Guthrie.  Adam maintained ownership of this property to his death and passed it on in his will.&nbps; While many other grantee properties in the immediate area were identified as military grants, Adam's property was not identified as such, further verifying that while he had many opportunities, Adam did not serve, militia or otherwise.      While Adam retained ownership of this property, he did not live there for the rest of his life.  According to "The Kentucky Land Grants" by Willard Rouse Jillson; Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., Baltimore, Maryland; 1971, Adam and two of his sons purchased land in Cumberland County, Kentucky as below from Vol 1, Part 1, Chapter IV, page 324:   Grantee Acres Book Page Date Survey County Watercourse     Guthery, James 50 3 459 8/25/1805 Cumberland Illwill Cr     Guthry, Adam 92 1/2 7 582 10/11/1806 Cumberland None     Guthrey, Geo 200 9 87 8/29/1805 Cumberland Illwill Cr     Guthery, Adam 130 19 485 7/3/1806 Cumberland Illwill Cr   These grants are among a group of records entered from 1797 to 1866 known as Grants South of Green River.  These were known sometimes as "Headright Claims," and were based upon an act of the Kentucky General Assembly of December 21, 1795.  Before Kentucky became a state, Virginia had reserved all the lands in Kentucky south of Green River as bounty land for its soldiers.  Until 1797 only soldiers could enter a survey within this large land area.  After Kentucky became a state and gained control of the remaining vacant land new legislation opened up this area south of the Green River to any persons possessed of family and over twenty-one years of age.  The only condition was they must have been legitimate settlers on the land for one year before they came into actual possession.  Until 1820 Illwill Creek was about 12 miles north of the Kentucky/Tennessee state line.  This is because the current northern Tennessee state line was under dispute the first two decades of the 19th century.  The latitude of 36 degrees and 30 minutes north was established by royal charters as the boundary line between the colonies of Virginia and North Carolina.  By extension that latitude was to be the line dividing Kentucky (a Virginia possession) and Tennessee (a North Carolina possession).  In 1779 a survey team was charged with running this line to the west to physically mark the boundary between Kentucky and Tennessee.  The line that was extended to the Tennessee River was called the Walker Line after Dr. Thomas Walker, a survey team member from Virginia.  It was found after the fact that due to improper corrections the Walker Line was actually about 12 miles north of the true 36 degree, 30 minutes latitude.  Kentucky refused to release claim on this strip of land of 12 miles width until after a compromise made February 4, 1820 fixed the Tennessee and Kentucky boundary line as we know it today, giving that 12 mile strip to the jurisdiction of Tennessee with the right to issue grants given to Kentucky.  This places Illwill Creek just on the Kentucky side of the current state line and still located in Cumberland County until 1836.  In 1836 Clinton County, Kentucky was created, taking the southeast portion of Cumberland County and Illwill Creek then became located in the southwest corner of this new county.  It is now a major feeder for Dale Hollow Lake.      It is likely Adam divided his time early between Cumberland County and his property in eastern Tennessee in the early days.  I say this because he is not found in the 1810 Cumberland County census although two of his sons are found there.  He is also not found in east Tennessee tax list of that time, and eastern Tennessee census records for 1820 and before are lost.   1810 Cumberland County, page 184   Geo.

Polly and Nancy and if anything can be recovered on an obligation I now hold on John Anderson of forty pounds, it is to be equally divided among all my children. I also appoint Thomas Guthery and George C. Craft the executors of this my Last Will and Testament and I do hereby utterly Disallow, revoke and Disannull all other testament, wills, legacies by me in anywise before made. Willing and confirming this and no other to be my last Will and Testament. In witness whereof I hereunto set my hand and seal this 1st day of May in the year of our Lord 1825. Adam Guthery (Seal) In Presence of Michael Craft William Craft State of Kentucky, Cumberland County Sct. I, Milton King, Clerk of the County Court for said county do certify that the within will of Adam Guthery, deceased, was proved in open court at the present August term by the oath of Michel Craft and William Craft, the two subscribing witness there to be recorded and I have truly recorded the same together with this certificate in my said office, this 20th day of August, 1827.  Milton King Adam's will gives us the names of his children alive at the time of his death.  We have no way at this time of knowing whether he and Mary had other children who did not survive.  By 1830 George (my direct ancestor) and family, along with Sidwells living nearby in Cumberland County, had moved to Fayette County, Illinois.

573. Mary Anderson, born Bef. March 18, 1744 in probably Augusta County, Virginia; died Bef. 1820 in probably Cumberland County, Kentucky. She was the daughter of 1146. George Anderson, Sr. and 1147. Elizabeth ?.

Notes for Mary Anderson      From "The Tinkling Spring Headwater of Freedom" by Howard McKnight Wilson; The Tinkling Spring and Hermitage Presbyterian Churches; Fishersville, Virginia; 1954, Mary Anderson, daughter of George, was baptized on March 18, 1744 by John Craig, first permanent pastor in frontier Augusta County in 1740 and founder in 1741 of the Stone Meeting House.  It is thought that Adam married Mary, probably sometime about 1770, and most likely in Augusta County, Virginia.  No marriage bond has been found to certify that it was Mary Anderson who married Adam, but it is surmised via circumstantial evidence.  First, it is clear from George Anderson's will and from George Christian's letter to Lyman Draper that Adam was the son-in-law of George and brother-in-law of Margaret Anderson Christian.  Now there were no other daughters of George born between 1740 and 1749.  Anyone born after this point would likely be too young to have married Adam and be in Fincastle County and the Southwest Territory in the mid-1770s.  So at this point Mary looks to be the best bet.  The only question is whether George had an older daughter who immigrated with the family when they moved to Augusta County.  When George made his oath in Orange County, Virginia Court on May 22, 1740 regarding who he imported into the region one Frances Anderson's relation to George is unknown.  If this was a daughter of George, it is possible she could have been Adam's wife.  But taking into account the approximate birthdate of Adam's last child, Mary would have given birth at age 45 while Frances would have been 50 or older - which would be stretching it some.  For these reasons I believe Mary to be Adam's wife.      Nothing more is known of Mary.

576. James Robertson, born Bef. 1750; died Unknown.

Notes for James Robertson      Not much is known about James at this time.  What I do know comes from the family history as documented by Fred Robertson (1899-1985) and published in December 1956.  Fred records that son Stephen (my ancestor) was born about 1775 in Fincastle County, Virginia and that he came through the Cumberland Gap in December 1779 with the party of Alexander Robertson.  Fred goes ahead to name some others in the Alexander Robertson party as James, James Jr., John, Matthew and Wm Robertson.  Additionally Joseph Robertson, a son of Stephen, had the following statement included in his biography (see his narrative in the next generation), "The paternal grandfather was during the Revolutionary War obliged to leave his Virginia home and with his wife and eleven children seek shelter from the enemy in a fort."  Evidently the James we are looking for had eleven children.  Also, they sought refuge in a fort, but it does not indicate whether the sanctuary fort was in Virginia or Kentucky, although one would assume Virginia from the way it was written.  Both regions were beset by major Indian problems, who were especially agitated by the British during the Revolution.      We can start with Alexander Robertson and see where it leads.  Fincastle County, Virginia was dissolved on January 1, 1777 and one of the counties created from the old Fincastle was Kentucky County, Virginia containing all of present day Kentucky.  When Fort Boonesborough was founded in 1775 it was in Fincastle County, then in Kentucky County in 1777 until 1780 when Kentucky County was split into Fayette, Lincoln and Jefferson Counties.  Fort Boonsborough would have been in Lincoln County at that time.  Fred Robertson had identified Alexander's party as being in Fort Boonesborough (the second major fort in the area after the earlier founded Fort Harrod).  Robertsons have not been identified as early inhabitants of Fort Boonesborough.  However there were many other fortifications, often called stations, that were formed in this area within a short time of Fort Boonesborough's founding.  One, among the many formed, was Kennedy's Station in the Paint Creek area southwest of Fort Boonesborough (south of present day Manse, Garrard County, Kentucky).  I focus on this area because of a book "Our Kentucky Kinfolks & Some Related Families" compiled by Lewis M. and Marilyn H. Owens of Lexington, Kentucky, copyright 1977.  Portions of what they wrote include, "Later in life, Mathew Robertson under oath stated, 'he arrived at Paint Lick Creek eight days before Christmas in 1779'.  In the spring of 1780, Mathew Robertson volunteered as a Private soldier in the Revolutionary War in Captain John Kennedy's Company and Benjamin Logan's Regiment.  He assisted in building Kennedy's Station, located in what is now Eastern Garrard County, Kentucky.  Mathew was with the group to assist in the Battle of Blue Licks.  In the fall of that year, 1782, he served under the same leadership in a tour under General George Rogers dark into present Ohio against the Indians.  However, his primary duty as a soldier was that of an Indian Spy, keeping account of the Indian activity in the area, and when the Indians did take property or prisoners, following and recovering the same.  After the tour under General George Rogers dark, Mathew Robertson took his post again at Kennedy's Station and remained there in the service until after 1783 when peace was realized.  In 1784, Mathew left Kennedy's Station with his father and went farming and clearing land.  In 1785 he along with Alexander Robertson, James Robertson, James Robertson, Jr., John Robertson, William Robertson, and others signed a petition to create Mercer and Madison counties out of Lincoln, which was done in 1786".  The article contains much more information, but I quoted only that which seemed to support Fred's narrative by identifying the same individual's names as Fred.  The oath the Owenses refer to is from Mathew's application (S31338) on April 29, 1833 in Russell County, Kentucky Circuit Court for a pension as a Revolutionary War soldier, for which he received $80.00 annually until his death.  This pension application also identifies his birth as January 12, 1762 in Amherst County, Virginia.  The reason Mathew was not among the Robertsons in the Mercer County tax lists (see Stephen's narrative) was that he chose newly formed Madison County for his residence.  The Owenses track him through the formation of counties in the area and have him in Madison through May 1799, Green County in 1800, Adair County from 1802 through 1825, then Russell County starting in 1826.      From the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim S15620 it appears that James Robertson was born in Albemarle County, Virginia, date not stated.  In 1779 he moved to Kennedy's Station in what was later Garrard County, Kentucky, where he lived four years.  He enlisted in the spring of 1780 and served until the fall of 1782 at various times, as Indian Spy and private, about two years in all, under Captains John Kennedy, George Adams, John Woods, Lieutenant Joseph Kennedy, and Colonel Benjamin Logan in the Virginia Troops; was in two expeditions against the Shawnee Indians on the Miami River and across the Ohio River, under General George Rogers Clark, and was in engagements with them.  He was allowed pension on his application executed February 18, 1834 while a resident of Breckinridge County, Kentucky aged seventy-five years, placing his birth in 1759.  It is not stated whether he was ever married.  Now James Robertson was granted pension number S15620 on March 14, 1834 on this application and was given retroactive allowance to June 7, 1832, the time Congress passed the Pension Act.  He was granted retroactive pay of $60.00 and $10.00 semi-annually under Payroll Number 26550.  On September 6, 1834 he filed an appeal for an increase because of his dissatisfaction with the allowance as he thought he was entitled from the length of his service to a greater sum and whereas others who were engaged in the same service had obtained much greater pensions.  He named his brother, Mathew Robertson of Russell County, Kentucky, who together with others had been thus favored.  It seems there may be some substance to this part of Fred's narrative, but nothing yet connects these Robertsons to our Stephen.      Several Kentucky histories have written about Alexander Robertson, mostly in connection with biographies of his son, Judge George Robertson ("Historical Sketches of Kentucky" by Lewis Collins, 1850, published by Lewis Collins, Maysville, Ky and J. A. and U. P. James, Cincinnati; "History of Lexington, Kentucky" by George Washington Ranck, 1872, published by Robert Clarke & Co., Cincinnati; "Lawyers and Lawmakers of Kentucky" by H. Levin, editor, 1897, published by Lewis Publishing Company, Chicago to name a few).  Because of information supplied by son George those histories are uniform in identifying Alexander's final destination in 1779 as Gordon's Station, about 4 miles north of Fort Harrod (modern Harrodsburg), on December 24, during "the hard winter."  Gordon's Station would have been approximately 40 miles northwest of Kennedy's Station.  It was very common to travel in large groups for safety reasons.  Could Alexander have been in the same group as the above James and Matthew - coming through the Cumberland Gap, moving north into Kentucky, arriving at Kennedy's Station about December 16 or 17, then moving on with a smaller group to reach Gordon's Station by December 24?  Seems possible and plausible.      Alexander's parentage also seems fairly clear - the above histories point to Alexander being born November 22, 1748 near Staunton in Augusta County, Virginia to one James Robertson.  His father died in 1754 and his will, dated September 11, 1754 in Augusta County and proved in court November 20 1754 in Augusta County (Augusta County Will Book 2, page 72) states his wife was "with child" (daughter Sarah?) and names sons George and Alexander and unnamed daughters as heirs when they come of age.  When executors Mathew Robertson and John Poage refused to execute, widow Elizabeth (Crawford) served as executrix.  "Lawyers and Lawmakers of Kentucky" goes ahead to state Alexander was "the son of James Robertson, who, with his father of the same name, emigrated to America from the neighborhood of Colerain, in the north of Ireland, about 1737.  They were members of a colony that settled on Burden's (Borden) grant, in the then trans-Alleghany wilderness of Virginia."  "A Genealogy of the Buford Family in America" book by Marcus Bainbridge Buford, San Francisco, 1901, pages 92-93, describes the advent of the Burden grant as a "grant of land made by Governor Gooch to one Burden, an agent of Lord Fairfax" in a area of uncharted Virginia settled by pioneers John Salling, John Lewis, and John Mackey near the forks of the James River.  Governor Gooch "authorized Burden to locate five hundred thousand acres of land in the vast territory then known as Frederick and Augusta Counties, on the condition that he should, within ten years, settle one hundred families thereon, in which case he should be entitled to one thousand acres adjoining each home, with the right to enter as much more at one shilling per acre.  In order to comply with the terms of the agreement Burden visited England, and in 1737 brought from the north of Ireland, from Scotland, and from the border counties of England, upwards of one hundred settlers" with James Sr. among them.  Nothing is mentioned of other sons or other family members such as brothers, uncles or the like immigrating with them.      Little is known of James Sr.  A will has not been found and we know little of his family except for James Jr. and a few siblings based on Judge George Robertson's autobiography.  It is likely James Jr. was of majority age since he was mentioned in several publications as accompanying his father in 1737 (e.g. "Annals of Augusta County, Virginia" by Jos. A. Wadell; Wm. Ellis Jones, Book and Job Printer; Richmond, 1886), and not just biographies of one of his descendents.  James Jr. married Elizabeth Crawford in Augusta County in 1739.  James Jr. purchased, for £30 current money Virginia, 274 acres on Lewis Creek in Beverley Manor from John and Margaret Lewis on February 18, 1743 - said property deeded to John Lewis by William Beverley on February 21, 1738.  The Burden tract bordered the Beverley Manor tract of land (2,071 acres conveyed to Col. Lewis Beverley by deed dated February 22, 1738), with the east border of Burden being the west border of Beverley Manor.  James Jr.'s land adjoined the lands of Rev. John Craig, James Trimble, and Daniel Deniston and was acknowledged in Orange County Deed Book 1, page 65 with Margaret Lewis releasing her dower April 15, 1746.  This tract lay between Staunton and Rev. Craig's residence, which was about five miles from town.  These Robertsons, because of their long standing location in Augusta County, are usually the family units that Stephen descendants attempt to link to.  But based on the assumed age of James Jr. then James Sr. would likely have been approximately 40 when he immigrated, making it very doubtful he was alive in 1775 let alone the father of Stephen.  James Jr. died in 1754, ruling him out as the father of Stephen, and no records have been found to indicate James Jr. had a son James.  If we are to believe Joseph's biography, then Stephen's father must have been old enough to be married by 1760, or earlier, to have 11 children by the time of the Revolutionary War.      According to the Draper Manuscript Collection, Lyman C. Draper, The Preston and Virginia Papers, there was a James Robertson in Augusta County who served in the Virginia militia as first a Lieutenant, then Captain, then promoted to a Major, and served on the frontier including Dunmore's War and then into the Revolutionary War.  A letter in the Preston Papers from this James to Colonel William Preston on June 9, 1778, as shown and transcribed here, speaks of waiting impatiently for the Henry County militia to assist with sightings of three different Indian parties in the vicinity.  He was going to move his family to Peter Dyerly's tomorrow and requested one or two soldiers be sent there to guard them.  This description however does not make it sound like a fort, and a different letter of the previous day from Andrew Lewis speaks of this as a residence along with other residences in the area.  That, and the fact that another document in the Preston papers from August 31, 1780 identifies Colonels William Preston, William Christian, and James Robertson as justices of Montgomery and Botetourt Counties, says he is a long shot to be our James, assuming James, father of Stephen, accompanied his 4 year old son to Kentucky.  According to "Virginia's Colonial Soldiers" by Lloyd DeWitt Bockstruck; Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc.; Baltimore, 1988, a warrant registered in Montgomery County April 1780 granted 2,000 acres to Col. James Robertson, a subaltern (a grade of lieutenant) in a company of enlisted men on the frontier of Augusta until the fall of 1764.  These bounty land grants were often granted in Kentucky County, and indeed this one was the Virginia Grant shown in "The Kentucky Land Grants" by Willard Rouse Jillson; Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc.; Baltimore, 1871, Part 1, page 112 for James Robertson of 2,200 acres (Book 7, page 294) in Jefferson County and surveyed January 21, 1783 on a creek between Floyds Fork and Bullskin Creek and as issued by Patrick Henry, Governor of Virginia (also Virginia Land Office Grants W, 1786, page 369).  Could this be why Alexander went to Kentucky?  This James is likely the one born in 1738, married Margaret Poage, died in Montgomery County in 1836 and thought to be a son of Mathew Robertson, a possible brother to James Jr.  If true, this would make Col. James and Alexander cousins.  Would Col. James possibly allow some of his children (including a possible 4 year old Stephen) to accompany "cousin" Alexander and live in Kentucky under the threat of Indian depredations?  According to a letter written by James to Colonel William Preston, as shown and transcribed here, he states he had not made it all the way to Kentucky and he does not mention any family in that region.  The question of Stephen as a son of this James may be a moot point anyway based on a researcher asserting this James only had sons Robert and Alexander.  There is yet another James in Augusta, son of William Robertson, and co-executor of his father's will in 1812.  This William is also thought to possibly be another brother to James Jr.  This James is thought to be the one who married Mary Russell in 1789 in Augusta County, so not the father of Stephen.      Some researchers have linked associations with this Augusta Robertson family that I do not believe will stand up under scrutiny.  Some have tried to link this family to James Robertson and Ann McKenzie and similarly have used published genealogies to say that James Robertson, founder of Nashville, was descended from James and Ann and then to say these two Robertson branches are linked and thus James Sr. and James of Nashville are cousins.  They may be cousins but not because of James and Ann McKenzie Robertson.  John Brayton and Tom Robertson have done an admirable job of debunking this James and Ann McKenzie Robertson ancestry and identifying the grandparents of James of Nashville as Israel and Sarah Robertson, and great grandparents as Nathaniel and Sarah Robertson (see Tom's analysis on the Robertson Archives web site).  Others have confused the James Sr. and James Jr. of Albemarle and Augusta Counties.  I would like to turn to the Albemarle families next.      The narratives in the first paragraph concerning James and Matthew who were born in Amherst and Albemarle Counties shows the presence of another Robertson family in that area.  The will of James Robertson Sr. in the Parish of St. Anne, County of Albemarle on October 24, 1751, as transcribed here, has often been confused with and attributed to James Sr. of Augusta.  The Rebeckah in the will was Rebeckah Royston who married James Robertson, residents of Rockfish River in Albemarle, according to page 60 of the R-S surnames section of "Marriages of Some Virginia Residents 1607-1800" by Dorothy Ford Wulfeck; Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc.; 1986.  There is no indication that James Sr. of Augusta ever moved to Albemarle or would have filed a will in that county.  The Indenture whereby James Jr. sells his interest in the land and home plantation to his mother Rebeckah, as transcribed here, further demonstrates this to be false, coming six years after the death of the Augusta James Jr.  This from "Albemarle County in Virginia" by Rev. Edgar Woods; The Michie Company, Printers; Charlottesville, 1901, page 129 also lends credence to the two James Robertsons being distinct - "Presbyterians were settled in the county while it was yet a part of Goochland.  The colony of Scotch Irish who came over the Blue Ridge in 1734 under the auspices of Michael Woods brought with them the faith of their fathers.  Among these were the families of Wallace, Kinkead, Stockton, McCord, and Jameson.  Further to the south along the base of the Ridge were the Morrisons, McCues, Montgomerys, Reids, and Robertsons.  These last were the founders of Rockfish Church located in the forks of Rockfish River.  About 1746 James McCann, who had patented the land in 1745, conveyed to John Reid, James Robertson, and Samuel Bell one acre and thirty five poles, for the Rockfish Church, and for a school for the inhabitants of that vicinity."  And page 363 identifies a James Robertson as a member of "Albemarle Company of Militia, lately in actual service for the defence and protection of the frontier against the Indians, September, 1758."  He was allowed 13 shillings pay on Captain James Nevil's muster roll to September 8, 1758 ("Virginia's Colonial Soldiers" by Lloyd DeWitt Bockstruck; Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc.; Baltimore, 1988, page 202).  In addition to James, it appears there was at least one other Robertson in the area at the same time according to Rev. Woods Albemarle book, page 7, "Reference has been made to the entry of bodies of land extending over a wide area ... William Robertson in 1739, more than six thousand on Naked and Buck Mountain Creeks..."  While the two James Sr.'s are different people, they were only 20 or so miles apart as the crow flies, and could have known each other or even been related.  James of Albemarle, and Rockfish Meeting House, purchased 395 acres for £12 current money Virginia on July 24, 1740 along the southeastern border of Beverley Manor ("The Tinkling Spring, Headwater of Freedom: A Study of the Church and Her People, 1732-1952", by Howard McKnight Wilson; Fishersville, VA; 1954).  Rebeckah died in 1784 and her will of August 14, 1784 in Amherst County is transcribed here.  Thus this one family has both Albemarle and Amherst County ties, as do the Mathew and James of Kentucky, although this does not necessarily mean they moved from one county to the other.  Rather, they were in that part of Albemarle County that became Amherst County when it was formed in 1761, and the property probably ended up in Nelson County when it was formed in 1807 from Amherst County.  Why did James Jr. sell his interest to Rebeckah in 1760?  Could he have been preparing to move further west?  Perhaps to Augusta, then Fincastle, before moving to Kentucky?  It is possible he was leading the way.  According to Amherst County Deed Book C, page 216, William Robertson, Amherst County, sells to Jno. Puckett, Amherst County, for £50, 100 acres on the south side and joining Rockfish, part of tract patented to Jno. Chiswell and surveyed for Jno. Small 1 April 1754, adjoining Saml. Bell on south side of river and Jos. Barnett.  Shortly thereafter, and according to Amherst County Deed Book C, page 239, Matt. Robertson, Augusta County, sells to Jas. Henderson, Amherst County, for £40.10, 240 acres on branch of Rockfish, adjoining Ro. Ware, Jno. Henderson, and Edwd. Stephenson.  Thus Matthew is already in Augusta County when he sells his Amherst property.  Could James have led the way, followed later by brothers William and Matthew?  We know that a James was definitely of age to be part of the Albemarle Company of Militia in September 1758.  Could it be James Jr.?  If so, James Jr. would have been of an age where he could possibly have had 11 children at the time Stephen was supposed to have taken shelter in a fort during the Revolutionary War.  Land Office Grants No. 35, 1795-1796, page 197 contains a grant issued to Stephen Robertson May 10, 1796 for 51 acres on the waters of Stovals Creek, Amherst County.  Could this Stephen be a descendent of the James Sr. who settled in Albemarle County?  If so, it would at least establish the precedent of Stephen as a given name in that family line, whereas none have been found in the Augusta family.  This family bears further investigation.

704. Rudolph Zimmermann, born Before March 6, 1716/17 in Massenbachhausen, Duchy of Württemberg, Holy Roman Empire; died February 27, 1780 in Massenbachhausen, Duchy of Württemberg, Holy Roman Empire. He was the son of 1408. Johannes Zimmermann and 1409. Anna Clara Frustert. He married (1) Catharina ?

Notes for Rudolph Zimmermann:      Rudolph's baptism gives his parents as Johannes Zimmermann and his wife Clara.  Witnesses to Joseph's baptism were Rudolph Utzmann, bachelor, and the spinster Magdalena Gantner.      The record of Rudolph's death/burial simply identifies him as a citizen of Massenbachhausen.      The record of marriage states that Rudolph was a widower when he married Theresia Gintnerin (first wife Catharina).  The witnesses were Christian Heinhe and Joseph Zimmermann.
