PIONEER MADE HAPPY
Lady Eight-seven Years of Age Surprised by Her Relatives
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Butridge, accompanied by their daughter, Miss Leeola Butridge, have returned from Ann, where they visited "with relatives and friends." While there they were participants in an event possessing features out of the ordinary. The event in mind was a surprise party given by relatives and friends to Mrs. Jane H. Watson, who resides near Farmington, in honor of her eight-seventh birthday.
Mrs. Watson, who is one of the pioneers of this country, is reasonably robust, notwithstanding her advanced years, and enjoyed the function fully.
There were present fully a half hundred of her relatives, these representing many of the leading families of Collin and other Texas Counties. Numerous tokens of esteem were showered upon the good lady, who in turn bestowed upon the donors expressions of appreciation of their love and consideration.
One feature of the occasion was an elegant banquet, which was made up of every possible desirable edible. This was relished by all alike, and after all had been satisfied in the dining hall the company repaired to other rooms in the elegant Coffey home, in which the gathering was had, and enjoyed an informal program during the remainder of the day. The event was almost an exact counterpart of one given several weeks ago at the anniversary celebration of births of Mr and Mrs Jesse Coffey, who are aged respectively eighty-one and eighty-two years. The affair was very pleasant throughout and will long be remembered.

Mary was named after one of her father's sisters.
Mary's life in the Buck Hall home was a hard one. She helped care for twin babies and milked several cows after her return from school each day. She was married on Oct. 1, 1874 when she was only sixteen years old to Charles Sherman Butridge of Farmington, Texas who was only seventeen years old. Their married life was a long one, having lived together sixty-one years before Mrs. Butridge's death. After they were married, Lee and Billy came to live with them, and later Luella, who while living with them met and married Charles' older brother, William Napoleon Butridge.
After Charles Butridge and Mary Walker were married, they lived in several towns - namely: Farmington, Gainesville, White Mount, and Sherman, Texas; and Los Angeles, California. Two sons and one daughter were born to them. Mary's Sister, Luella, called Lue for short, lived with them after they were married and there met Charles' older brother, Napoleon, whom she later married.
Charles moved his family to California because of Mary Butridge's health. They lived there about a year before returning to Texas. While they were in California, Poley sold papers on the streets of Los Angeles. He got into a quarrel with a Chinese one day and the Chinese started after him with a knife crying, "Me killie him.

Poley was going to sell pictures of a woman that grandmother introduced him to at the Art Institute. But in the depression, people didn't buy many luxuries, and didn't buy her pictures, and Poley started to go bankrupt from this. He lost so much money that they went bankrupt. He went and tried to get a job in the city of Sherman. I drove him all through the close to Dallas and around there and that summer he called me and I was chauffeur we were at the picnic and that's where all the people before the were trying for a vote. He was trying to be given a job on the next to the mayor. He had moved and was renting a one story house whereas his house was two story and he had a lot of kids and he had a lot of property there. He lost the whole thing - the home and everything; he was just renting a month in those days about $25 a month. He moved close to the north side near to my grandfather. I was with him when they had picnics and people come and everybody made speeches for elections. I was with him when and this fella came up and he was drunk and he tried to break it up and he landed on his butt. Poley had a black eye and he had to go to the hospital. I drove him to the doctor. I was in grade school in those days. I learned to drive Clarence helped me learn to drive because he would take out the paints and he had a truck and also Mary Lee she was the oldest and her husband was worked as a post office and he had to buy his own truck in those days they and he was the only one the postman had a truck and he had the whole city and I used to in the morning he'd pick me up and I would help him by driving the truck, then the afternoon I went to Uncle Poley's house and I'd do that with Clarence and I learned that's where I learned to drive. People didn't have to have insurance or anything in those days.

And he got the fender on the right it broke the spout he got out in the street and I sat on the seat talking to them and about for thirty minutes we drove around the house and the neighborhood. Well, I've got it now Jack and he was the worst driver you've ever seen. But I used to every night when he'd come home and at the 79th street IC and I would drive the car and pick him up and he let me drive all the time and but he didn't drive and when I got older and I got married I bought a car I bought it was I'd been married and so forth and I had an Oldsmobile for the first car that I bought but when I got married I couldn't and I sold it to him.

Riley Butridge fought in the Confederate army. He raised his family in Sherman, Texas.
Sherman was first located North-west of its present location, but was later moved to its present site because of better water conditions. The Butridge's owned quite a lot of land in Sherman, having owned several blocks on what is now known as Wall Street, which includes the Merchants' and Planters' National Bank building. This land was never sold, but over a period of years, the title to it was lost. Their home was located close to what is now the Binkley Hotel. They also owned some property in East Sherman, which was traded by Napoleon Butridge for a herd of Mustang ponies that ran away the day after the trade was made, and the only one of them that was ever found was an old mule that they kept in the family for about 35 years.
R.E. Riley resided in TX in 1840 census
R.E. Riley in AR in 1850 census
Riley E (Esbal?) Butridge was born 4 May 1819 in Ala. He died 20 Mar 1863 in Grayson Co TX and is buried at the Van Alstyne Cemetery. He married to Mary (Polly) Susan Watson 13 Oct 1850 in Grayson Co TX.
Riley E. served in the Confederate army at the beginning of the war. Prior to that time, he was a lawyer and owned a saloon in Sherman. There were five children born to Riley and Polly Butridge.
Of their children:
"Jennie" was married to Matthew Slaughter Coffey, a Confederate veteran. Jennie Coffey died 1949 and is buried in the Van Alstyne Cemetery.
4. Emily L. C. Butridge was born 3 Feb 1860 at Sherman TX. She died 8 Sep 1868 and is buried at Van Alstyne. It is possible that her name was Emily Lucy Coleman Butridge.
5. M.B. Butridge (female) was born 3 Sep 1862 in Grayson County, 8 days before the death of her mother. M.B. died 11 Jul 1864 and is buried at Van Alstyne. I have found no one who knows what the initials stood for in her name.

Confederate 22 Cavalry of Texas, or Stevens' Regiment
Texas Dismounted Cavalry.(also know as 1st Indian Regiment Texas Cavalry,
Merrick's Regiment Texas Dismounted Cavalry, Taylors Regiment Texas Cavalry,
Taylors Regiment Texas Mounted Rifles, Stevens' Regiment Texas Cavalry,
Stone's Battalion Texas Cavalry and Merricks Battalion Texas Infantry or
Dismounted Cavalry) Does anyone know where I can get information on this
regiment?
The sheets you have are from the National Archives "Compiled Service
Records of Confederate Soldiers", since you did not say what your
g-granfathers name was, I can not say which roll of microfilm has his
records. The 22nd Texas Cavalry is in M323; roll 113 = A-E, roll 114 =
F-M, roll 115 = N-Y (surnames). You can check on this by reading the
catalog "MILITARY SERVICE RECORDS, A Select Catalog of National Achives
Microfilm Publications", which should be in the library.
The Compiled Records are extractions from records that contain the
indivicual servicemans name, the cards are numbered and the first card
has the number of records found and list the numbers of all the
applicable cards. If you have the first card, it is possible to see if
you have all the record extractions. It is also helpful to get copies
of the first sheets on the first roll (roll 113 in this case), which
list the comanders and other generl information.
Now to your questions:
1. There are several books about the Civil War in Indian Territory
(troops in Indian Territory were under Texas comand and listed as Texas
Units, with a few exceptions). I recommend "CIVIL WAR in the Indian
Territory, by Steve Cottrell" published in 1995 by Pelican Publishing
Co., 1101 Monroe St., Gretna LA 70053. You may be able to get this
through inter-library loan. The book is general in nature and does not
refer to the 22nd TX Cav, or it's other designations specifically, but
has a good bibliograpy for further research.
2. CSA = Confederate States of America. Was he living in the early
1900's? Confederat pensions were set up and administered by the
individual southern states, including Texas and Oklahoma, but were not
established until late 1800's or early 1900's. Pension applications
were made to the state in which the vetern resided at the time of
application, not state in which served. For information on Confederate
pensions contact the Muesum of the Confederency, 1201 East Clay St.,
Richmond VA 23219.

Before the days of the Civil War, John William Walker left his home in Johnson county, Kentucky to take up his abode in the frontier land of Texas. he left his parents and six brothers and sisters to make his fortune in a better country. Many people were coming to Texas at this time and others were dreaming of the time when they could make the journey. One man, who was unable to make the trip, named his ranch in Kentucky, "The Bower of Felecity" alias "Texas Retreat."
After living a short time in Texas, John met Susan Hall and married her in 1856. The following is a portion of a letter he received congratulating him on his marriage.
Mch. 16, 1857
Dear Sir
Yours of the 3 Mch. came duly to hand pr this mornings mail Contents carefully noted and am happy to congratulate you on your marriage My you be blessed with beautiful children and have success and prosperity in all your undertakings through life My your pathes be strewed with flowers of the sweetest oder and my the balance of your life be that of happiness and bliss."
Before he joined the Confederate army to fight in the Civil War, two daughters were born to this union - Mary Langford, who was named after one of her father's sisters, was born on December 8, 1858; and Luella on October 6, 1860. He entered the army and fought against his father and brothers, who were federalists (Yankees). He wrote to his wife and children while he was away from them telling of his longing to see them and of the scarcity of food and clothing in many of the places he camped.
Letters were folded with the name of the place and the person to whom it was sent written on one side to form the envelope; stamps were not used. As the mails were not very safe in those days, John could not send money to his wife through them. It had to be sent by someone who was going in that direction who could be trusted to deliver it personally.
He was in the cavalry and several times during the war he had his horse shot or stolen and had to walk until he was able to buy another.
Lee was the next child born; his father called him "The General."
The baby of the family was named Billy.
His wife, Susan, died soon after his return from the war and after placing Luella, Lee and Billy in the Dick Hall home and Mary in the Buck Hall home, he returned to Kentucky for a visit with his relatives; but he became ill while there and died before returning to Texas.

The Biographical Souvenir of the State of Texas
Coleman Watson, born 28 Jan 1800 in Madison or Warren Co KY. Died Jul 1876 in Farmington, Grayson Co, TX. Buried in Van Alstyne Cemetery, Grayson Co, TX. Married Lucy L. Coleman, born 17 Nov 1803 in Todd Co KY. Died 13 Apr 1862 in Farmington, Grayson Co, TX. Buried Van Alstyne Cemetery Grayson Co TX. They were married 13 Sep 1821 in Todd Co KY.
Out of eleven children, six lived to be grown. Of those six, only four had families of their own. Coleman and Lucy Watson were children of pioneers from old families in KY and VA. When Coleman and Lucy settled in Bowie County in 1833, Texas was an unbroken wilderness under Meixcan rule. In addition to their own roles as pioneers, they were surrounded by relatives and associates (such as Collin McKinney, Jefferson, Milam, Ben Milam) who are well known in local history and genealogy circles of today.
To begin, I should point out the fact that Coleman and Lucy Watson were first cousins as well as husband and wife. He was the son of Evan Thomas Watson and Lucy (Coleman) Watson. She was the daughter of Samuel Coleman and Mildred Coffey. Both were grandchildren of James Colemana nd Elizabeth Leake. It should be noted that it was not uncommon in the 1820's for first cousins to be married. In some situations, the marriage was arranged by the parents of the parties. Other times, it was not. The circumstances which led to the marriage of Coleman and Lucy are not known to me, and I have found no source, printed, traditionary, or otherwise, that even acknowledged the fact that their blood kindship existed. I have proved that fact through my research of the Coleman family pedigrees.
The will of Coleman Watson, dated 6 Aug 1875, holds a wealth of reliable information. THe children, John Denton, James Sydney, Lucy Ann, Evan and Martha Emelie, are not mentioned as having survived their mother, Lucy, who died 13 Apr 1862. It can be assumed that all of these died in infancy or childhood, except Lucy Ann.
She was married to John Watson in 1853. It is not known whether this John Watson was a relative of Carey Watson and James Randall Watson. He could have been a cousin. I have found no record to indicate that Lucy Ann Watson had children. I feel that she did not, since there is no mention of them in Coleman Watson's will. It is safe to assume that Lucy Ann Watson died between 1853 and 1862. No grave has been found for her.
Edward H. Tarrant Watson died after his mother, probably within the year. According to census records, he was born about 1843. The will of his father states that he died "who is still a minor and at the age of 19 years." That would be 1862-3. No grave has been found for Edward Watson.
Mary Susan (Watson) Butridge died six months after her mother. She left five small children, two of whom died later "in their minority."
Riley E. Butridge, husband of Mary Susan, died in March 1863, six months after her death. In the period 1862-8, there were six deaths in Coleman's immediate family.
The second marriage of Coleman Watson appparently caused some discord among his children, as Coleman mentioned an 1868 agreement was not carried out because "some of the children refused to give me a receipt for thier interest ... believing that the want of such receipt might be the means of harassing my present wife, I did not file an inventory and appraisal as agreed."
Coleman obviously had great affection for the children of Susan Butridge as he was very careful that they received an equal portion of his estate. It should also be noted that Coleman Watson's second wife, Jane H. Watson, was named as one of the executors of the will, but declined to act as seen in "The Petition to Probabe Will."
The 1850 census of Grayson County lists Coleman Watson as a farmer with real estate valued at $3,800.00. His household at that time included his wife, Lucy, and children: M.S. (Mary Susan), Saml C., Lucy Ann, L.J. (Louisa Jane), Nancy M. Edward H. Tarrant, son-in-law Cary Watson and wife, E.E. (Emily Elizabeth), granddaughter L.E. (Lucy Elizabeth), and grandson, J.C. (James Coleman), age five months. Coleman Watson was listed as the owner of 19 slaves. Their neighbors in 1850 included the families of Uel Fox, John H. Miller, and John P. Ferguson.
Coleman Watson died 11 months to the day after making out his will. He was buried next to his first wife, Lucy, in the Van Alstyne Cemetery.
An Illustrated History of Grayson County, TX
Watson, Coleman, born in Logan County KY, c. 1800, died in Grayson Co, TX 1876. Was the son of Evan who was born in VA ca 1758, removed toKY and moved to Bowie County TX, c 1834. Coleman married Lucy L. Coleman born in Todd Co KY, ca 1803 d 1862 - daughter of Samuel Coleman (b VA) -- 11 children:
Coleman Watson moved to Texas in 1833 settled in Bowie County in the Spring of 1850, moved to Grayson Co, lived near Farmington. He was a Grayson Co. Commissioner. He was a notary public from 1866-68.

Hello, Mark. I don't know if I'm the "authority" on Coleman Watson's
family, but I've probably been studying the line for longer than others
(since 1975). I'm finding a lot of my work (which I distributed to
family
members in 1985) turning up everywhere without credit on the Internet -
some
of my original research has found it's way into the Watson reports
you've
attached to e-mails in the past.
The Biographical Souvenir is the only evidence of record for the
existence
of John Denton, James Sidney, and Evan (sons of Coleman and Lucy.) If
you
look at the Souvenir article, you'll notice that all the children that
we
have birth dates for (8 out of the 11 listed) are listed in order of
birth.
Its a logical conclusion that all 11 are listed in birth order. I've
never
published ca birth dates for the three, but believe the first two were
born
ca 1822-1824 and Evan about 1834, since he was between Lucy Ann and
Louisa
Jane. The Evan you found in MS is interesting and very likely
connected,
but I have doubts that it is Coleman's son because I believe that birth
order is shown in the Souvenir.
I am intrigued still by your John who married Lucy Ann - and have always
wanted to figure out which Watson bunch he belongs to. I'll give you
this
to think about - we know that Lucy Ann was the daughter of parents who
were
first cousins (Coleman and Lucy Watson). Do you think they would have
married a daughter to a first cousin? These people did know when to
stop
mixing blood lines. If John was Coleman's nephew, he and Lucy Ann would
have shared a lot more common blood than just first cousins.
Did you get my e-mail response regarding the Barker Archives and John
and
Lucy Ann's marriage record? Stephen Mills

Subject: Another Evan Thomas WATSON...
Greetings cousins:
I found ANOTHER Evan Thomas WATSON living near my Jesse WATSON
descendants
in MS and AL. I think this may be Coleman WATSON's son, who died prior
to
1862 according to Coleman's will.
I found the following:
1845 Noxubee Co., MS Tax List MS4265101
Evan WATSON
1850 Mortality Schedule, Sumter Co., AL
Evan T. WATSON 26 m Farmer Born in KY, died of Dropsy MRT47_4014
I believe the above listings to represent the same person, and
furthermore
I
think this is the son of Coleman WATSON.
Who is the leading authority in the family regarding Coleman WATSON's
line?
I would like to know the source and documentation for Coleman's
children,
namely these sons of which I have little information:
John Denton WATSON b. abt 1823 (no additional info)
James Sidney WATSON b. abt 1824 (no additional info)
Evan Thomas WATSON b. abt 1831 (no additional info)
Does anyone know where these names came from? I believe the Evan WATSON
in
MS and AL is likely Coleman's son Evan; which would make his birth date
1824. This seems more plausible that Coleman would have named an early
son
after his father - perhaps even his first son (I don't have any
documentation on John Denton WATSON or James Sidney WATSON).
Noxubee MS and Sumter AL are neighboring counties. When Coleman's
brother
Jesse WATSON died in 1834, his widow (Rebecca DENTON Watson) and
children
moved to Sumter AL. Rebecca died in 1842. The oldest son, Jacob Denton
WATSON, married (1843) and lived in Noxubee MS, while his siblings
remained
in Sumter AL; three sisters marrying three WATT brothers. Jacob's
younger
brother, John WATSON, would migrate to Collin TX by 1850 and marry his
cousin, Coleman's daughter Lucy Ann WATSON.
Therefore, it seems very likely that the Evan WATSON in question was
acquainted with the Jacob WATSON of Noxubee MS and Sumter AL. Cousins,
by
my assertion. This Evan was born in 1824. Coleman seems to be the
likely
father:
Evan Thomas WATSON b. 1759 had the following sons:
Jesse - as stated above, did not have a son surviving 1834 named Evan.
John - died 1826 in Simpson KY, and according to 1844 document did not
have
a living heir named Evan.
William - had a son named Evan Thomas WATSON, but he is in Fannin TX
1850,
and died in Texas 1882 (anyone know where?)
Evan Jr. - Said to have died 1832 in Hempstead AR. This could be the
father, but I have never found evidence Evan Jr. was married, or had
children - for if he did they are not mentioned as heirs of Evan Sr. in
1834
probate records.
Coleman - According to IGI had son named Evan, of which nothing is known
other than he died before 1862. date of birth is given as 1831, but I
suggest an earlier birth date more likely.
Downing - died prior to 1834; probably much earlier.
In closing, this looks like Coleman's son to me. I'm not sure why he
would
go to MS and AL with his cousins, though.
Another burning question: Regarding William WATSON's wife Mary
Elizabeth
SUTNER... Anyone know where the surname SUTNER is documented as his
wife's
surname? I can't find anything on SUTNER in Virginia - could this be a
mispelling?
I love feedback!

Evan Thomas Watson, Jr. was born January 11, 1759 in Albemarle County, Virginia.
The following Declaration was filed by Evan Watson in order to obtain a pension for his services
in the Revolutionary War:
State of Kentucky:
Warren County:
On this 29th day of August 1833 personally appeared in open court before the Judge of the Warren Circuit
Court now sitting, Evan T. Watson, a resident of said County and State, aged seventy-four years on the 11th
of January past, who, being first duly sworn according to the law, doth on his oath make the following
declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress passed June 7th 1832.
That he entered the service of the U.S. under the following named officers and served as herein stated.
He will answer the questions propounded by the War Office in this order.
1st He was born in Albemarle County, Virginia ont he 11th January 1759.
2nd He has no record of his age. It is in the possession of a brother.
3rd He was living in Albemarle when called into service. Since the Revolution War he has lived first in Madison County and at
his present place of residence in Warren County in Kentucky.
4th On four of his tours he was drafted and on another he was a substitute for a John Martin.
5th
[1st tour] On or about the 1st of September 1777 he first joined the Army of the Revolution from the
County where at that time he lived as aforesaid. he rendezvoused at Richmond, Virginia under the command of
Captain Robert Harris [Harford Rifles] and Lieutenant Ralph Rogers. He does not recollect the name of the Regiment
to which he belonged, he was not attached to any particular Regiment, but was commanded generally
by General Nelson. [General Thomas Nelson, Virginia Light Dragoons].
From Richmond, his company marched to Williamsburg and after remaining there a few days, we marched to
Little York, and then into Hampton. Here his company remained and your Petitioner was sent under Ensign Robert Field who belonged
to the Company of Captain Landon. [Still under General Nelson] I was (he thinks)
fourteen miles from Hampton towards the mouth of the Potomack, where we lay as guard to that portion of the coast.
While there he saw the British fleet under Lord Howe passing from the head of Elk
where Howe landed on towards Philadelphia. Without performing other services he was at length
recalled from his guard and marched back toward Richmond, where he gave up his arms. To the best of
his recollection he was out fifty-five days on this tour.
2nd [tour] The next tour was in the fall of the ensuing year. As before, he rendezvoused at Richmond, Virginia.
There received arms and marched under Captain Mark Leek and his son, William Leek, his Lieutenant to Gablein
Point and I joined the army at that place under General Lincoln.
[Lt. William Leak was the first cousin of Evan Thomas Watson's wife, Lucy Coleman, and
Captain Mask Leak (1735-1813), her mother's brother. Lucy's mother was Elizabeth Leake (11 Mar 1732-Bef. 31 Jan 1788),
the wife of James Jerry Coleman and the daughter of Walter Leake and Judith Mask. A brother of Lt William Leake, and another
first cousin of Lucy Coleman, was Senator and Judge Walter Leake, for whom Leake County in MS was named. Senator Walter Leak is Jack Butridge's
first cousin, 5x removed, and Nancy Younger's first cousin, 6x removed.
Walter, son of Mask, was deputy Surveyor of the
county in 1784, and was admitted to the Albemarle bar in 1793. It is
believed he was the Walter Leake who emigrated to Mississippi, and
rose to prominence in the legal and political affairs of that State. He was
elected United States Senator in 1817, and resigning soon after was
appointed to the State bench. He died in Hinds County in 1825.
General Benjamin Lincoln (1733-1810) accepted Cornwallis's sword at his surrender.
]
We lay there during this tour guarding the locals against an expected invasion of the enemy from three
ships, which were cruising in the bay. He cannot recollect the name of his Major or Colonel. He was out,
to the best of his recollections, forty days on this tour. He was marched back to Richmond. Others gave up
their arms and he was discharged.
3rd [tour] His next tour was in 1781. It commenced, to the best of his recollection,
in the month of May. He joined our army, commanded by Lafayette, near Richond on its
retreat from Cornwallis. He belonged to the Company of Captain John Martin, of the Regiment
of Colonel Holt Richardson, who belonged to the Brigade of General Lawson, at that time
commanded by General Nelson, as senior officer. He marched through Hanover, lay seven days at Colonel Dandridge's in that country,
thence through Louisa (County) as far as Culpeper where we met General Wayne with his army. From there
our united army crossed the Rapidan at the Raccoon Ford, then by Boswell's ordinary to New Church Creek.
There General Nelson received his commission as Governor. Your petitioner was placed on his guard
and went with him to Staunton where the Legislature sat. Thence escorted him to Charlottesville
to which place the Legislature had removed its settings and where your petitioner remained in said service 'till the expiration
of his two month's service when he was discharged.
4th [tour] About two days after this, he substituted himself in the place of a certain
John Martin in the company of Captain Benjamin harris. He joined the army commanded by Wayne and
Lafayette below Richmond. The junior officers of Harris' company are not recollected. He belonged to
Colonel Richardson's Regiment. He marched with the main army to Williamsburg, stopping however
at different places on our way (Chickahominy and others) several days at a time. He remained
at Williamsburg in the service 'till three days after the expiration of his tour - being out in all on this
tour sixty-eight days.
5th [tour Immediately upon the expiration of last tour, say on or about the first of September 1781,
before he had left the army on his former tour, he was again drafted under Captain John Miller
of Colonel Richardson's Regiment - marched under him to Yorktown and was present
at the surrender of Cornwallis. He was on the commissaries guard while at York under Commissary Joseph
Meshew. From York, he drove wagons to Winchester aiding in taking the prisoners captured at York
to that place, where he got his discharge at the end of a sixty day tour which he had served.
6th He received a discharge at the expiration of every tour. There was a law hile he lived in Virginia that
persons might pay their taxes with their discharges in part and the other part in money. Your
petitioner paid this way in discharge of his taxes under that Law.
7th Thomas Hop, Doctor William E. Payson, John White, Joseph Fielding, John Mason and Miles Coney
are persons to whom he is know in his neighborhood and who can testify as to his character for veracity and
their belief in his service as a soldier of the Revolution.
Your Petitioner is unable to remember many particulars of his service which perhaps may be regarded as material.
He will, therefore, add that by reason of old age and other consequent loss of memory he is unable to state the
precisse length of his service but to the best of his recollection he served not less than the period
mentioned below and in the following State, namely nine months and eight days and for such service he claims
a pension.
He hereby relinquishes all claims to a pension or an annuity except the present and he declares
that his name is not on the pension roll of any state.

Coffey and 625. Mary Jolliffee. He married 313. Ann Ester (Annister) Powell Bet. 1690 -
1699 in Essex County, Virginia.
The first record of Edward Coffey in VA appears in the will of Edward Mosely, dated January 6, 1699 in which he gives to his "servant
Ed. Coffe one heifer of 2 years old." On September 10, 1700, Edward Coffey received a judgment from the Mosely estate for his freedom,
corn, and clothes. Edward Coffey was probably transported to America during the Williamite Confiscation by Edward Mosely. Edward
Coffey is a witness to Thomas Powell's will of Sittingbourne Parish, Essex County, VA. in which Thomas bequeathed 1 shilling to his
daughter Ann Coffey.
Edward Coffey (1670, probably in Ireland - 1716, Essex County, VA) lived in St. Ann's Parish, Essex County, VA. In Nov., 1714, Edward
Coffey sold part of his land (bought from Augustine Smith) on Occupation Creek to Thomas Warren. His wife, Ann Ester Powell, is a
witness to this transaction. Edward died in 1716 and Ann died in 1744. After Edward's death in 1716 his widow, Ann, married Robert
Dulin (Dula?) and they had two sons. (Ann Powell was the dau. of Thomas Powell and Mary Place of Dinsdale.)

One story says it was this Thomas, along with brothers Robert and John and 26 others, who was imported to America 11/18/1663 by Capt Wm
Mosley. Other theories place him in America much earlier, by at least 1654. He may have traveled back and forth between England and America.
Capt Mosley received 1157 acres of land located on the south side of the Rappahanock River in Sittingbourn Parish and also a patent for another
427.5 acres on 4/18/1670. He sold the latter parcel to Richard Poole, who the following July, through his attorney, George Jones, conveyed it to
Thomas Powell for 2500 lbs of tobacco.
Residences & other events in his life:
1665 Old Rappahannock Co, VA. "John Mills sold to Thomas, both men being from Rappahanncok Co, 50 acres of land beginning at the marked
hickory near the mill floodgates bounding on the land of Thomas Rooson, now possessed by Philip Saunders, to a creek called Tignor's Creek, unto
a small river going into said creek being part of a grand patent to John Mills, for 400 pounds of tobacco and two cows."
8/11/1655 Lancaster Co, VA. Francis Place conveyed a tract of land formerly in Isle of Wight County, Virginia containing 300 acres patented by him
September 7, 1654, lying
on the North side of the "freshes" of the Rappahanncok River about ten miles above Nazemum Town and certain cattle by deed of gift to 'My
daughter Mary Place when she arrives at 18 years,' if she dies without heirs, then 'to daughter Margaret Place, my youngest daughter.'" Mary had
married Thomas Powell by 1666 when they deeded this same land to James Coghill. (See next entry.)
9/30/1667 Old Rappahannock Co: "Thomas Powell and Mary, his wife, sell to James Coghill for the valluable consideration of nyne barrells of good
Indian corne as also for Divers other Consideracons 300 acres on the North side of Rappahannock River patented September 7, 1654. Mary
Powell, daughter to Francis Place, doth appoint her loving
friend, Mr. Daniel Gaines her true and lawful attorney to acknowledge
sd deed." William Wilton witnessed this power of attorney and a few days later bought the land from Coghill. This deed establishes the maiden name
and father of Thomas Powell's wife Mary.
1694 Essex Co, VA "Thomas and Mary Powell convey to their son, Honorias Powell, 100 acres of land beginning at an ash standing 'in the line of
Colonel Catlett (forest land)' on a branch adjoining Abraham Stepp."
1704 Isle of Wight Co, VA. Thomas supposedly still owned 100 acres according to "English Duplicates of Lost Virginia Records," even though he
had been dead the past 3 years. A Seymon Powell owned the same amount of land.
Thomas' will, dated 3/10/1700, proved 4/10/1701 in Essex Co, VA, says he is "of Sittenburn Parish and very sick and weak." He leaves land to be
divided equally between his sons, Place and Thomas and his wife, her part at her death to go to son William, cattle to son, William and "these persons
that hath the education of my son William till he shall
come ot the age of 21 years." He also left bequests to daughters Frances Powell, Elizabeth Salmon, Anne Coffee, and sons, Honours (Honorias) and
Place and son-in-law-John Salmon, to be Executors.
Abt 1703. Mary petitioned that the maintenance of her son, William, be allowed out of her husband's estate, but the court refused this as an "irregular
process."
1705 Essex Co Order Book: William Powell had died and the executors of his father's estate unsuccessfully petitioned the court that his estate be
appraised.
1706. John Warden as the greatest creditor, obtained administration of the estate of William Powell.

627. Mary Place, born Bet. 1648 - 1649; died December 1710 in Richmond County VA.
She was the daughter of 1254. Francis Place and 1255. Ann Williamson.
website
She was already a landowner with cattle when she and Thomas married:
8/11/1655 Francis Place conveyed a tract of land formerly in Isle of Wight Co, VA, containing 300 acres patented by him 9/7/1654, lying on the
North side of the "freshes" of the Rappahannock River about ten miles above Nazumum Town, and certain cattle by deed of gift to "My daughter
Mary Place when she arrives at 18 years," if she dies without
heirs, then "to daughter Margaret Place, my youngest daughter."
From the Richmond Co, VA, Order Book: Mary Powell, widow of Thomas, died about middle of December, 1710.
