DAVID SHREVE

David Shreve was the eldest child and only son of William Shreve and Anna Smalley Shreve. William and Anna Smalley married January 06, 1746/47 in the Piscataway Seventh Day Baptist by Rev. Jonathan Dunham. Son David was born about 1748 followed by three sisters (unsure of birth order of the girls); (1)Sarah (2)Elizabeth (3) Mary. Anna died about 1755 in Middlesex Co., Piscataway, New Jersey. William was left with four young children so he marries Catharine Martin who is a cousin to Anna. On November 10, 1755 William marries Catharine Martin at Middlesex Co., Piscataway, NJ/ by Rev. Jonathan Dunham. Were the Shreves on the move between 1745-1763 from Piscataway to Maryland and Virginia? William Sr and Freelove must have joined in the move from New Jersey to Maryland & Virginia. In Loudoun Co., Virginia, William Sr. dies and grandson William Martin Shreve is born and William Jr. makes a will and dies soon after now leaving Catharine with two son, David & William Martin Shreve and three daughters Sarah, Mary & Elizabeth Shreve. Catherine marries Rev David Thomas a well known Baptist Minister and here we are not certain if David & Catherine had a son perhaps named John Thomas? From Rev David's will he may have adopted the girls or they used his name of Thomas some of the time. And Rev David removes to Kentucky because of religious views of different Baptist. We do not know when Rev David and Catharine came to Mason Co., Kentucky ; whether about 1792 and making a move down to Fayette Co., along Hickman Creek and the Kentucky River by 1798 where he met and prayed with Jeremiah Vardeman in his cabin on Hickman Creek ; Rev David was getting very old and blind by 1800

Virginia Wills before 1799 by William M. Clemens has the following; William Shreve Loudoun Co., Virginia will filed April 13, 1763 and lists: wife Catherine, s. David Shreve, bro. James Shreve, bro. Benjamin Shreve, sister Mary Shreve, sister Elizabeth Hulls, other daughters not name but we know are Mary, Sarah and Elizabeth

Another source for Virginia wills by J Stewart King has the following abstract; William Shreve 13 April 1758. 3 April 1763. Legatees: Elizabeth Hulls,Mary Shrieve (sisters), James Shrieve and Benjamin Shrieve (brothers). Furniture in possession of Cornelius Clauson of Pascataway, New Jersey, to be divided between three daughters, Sarah, Elizabeth and Mary. Son: David Shrieve. Wife: Catherine Shrieve. Exrs: wife and Anthony Russell. Wit: William Holme and Jacob Wildman. (p.76) son William Martin Shreve would have been only a few months old. Brother Benjamin remained his whole life in Loudoun Co., VA and James made his way to western Pennsylvania and Virginia (Monongahela area)

David moved from Lunenburg, VA to Rockingham Co., NC abt 1800 and settled on Wolf Island Creek in Reidsville, North Carolina. Historian and Shreve descendant Robert Carter has found evidence of land David owned in Lunenburg, Loudoun Co., Virginia August 11th 1783 where 665 acres granted to said WILLIAM SHREVE father of DAVID SHREVE by proprietors deed dated the 9th day of September 1746 ; we know that about 6 years after moving to North Carolina that David died in 1806 and it took 12 years to straighten out the land deal with the family. Nancy marries again to Robert Cantrell and has three children: Rhoda, Francis, & Thompson Cantrell
