The Evolution of John Frogg

John Frogg, was born about 1714. The only known record of his date of birth is when in 1797, his age was listed at age 83. More troublesome is the fact that even though he was called to testify, he had been dead for nearly two years. John Frogg's parents are not explicitly listed in any records or historical documents. Given all of the evidence, that he was most likely the son of John Frogg "Merchant of Christiana" (29 Nov 1674 - 14 Feb 1716) and Mary (__) Battell Frogg who can be found living nearby in Christiana, Pennsylvania between 1703 and 1718. This would explain John's lack of documented parentage as John Frogg Sr. died when John was only two years old. John's mother died when was he was three or four.

Mary's maiden name is unknown, but she first married a Battell who gave birth to a son, William Battell. John Frogg Sr. was not only a merchant in Philadelphia and plantation owner, but was also vestryman of Christ's Church in Philadelphia. John Frogg Sr. wrote his will which was recorded in New Castle County Delaware On August 17, 1706. As it states in his Last Will and Testament he was "preparing for a voyage". He apparently returned safely and his will was never modified. Eleven years later, and on February 12, 1717 , John died and Dr. Hugh Graham (who also witnessed his testament and was likely related) appeared at the Orphans court, on March 30, 1717 to probate the will. [11]. Prior to September of 1719, Mary Frogg passed away and her son from her previous marriage became executor of the Frogg estate because Mary (__) Battell Frogg died intestate. Here will was probated her will on September 30, 1719.

John Frogg was likely taken under the Guardianship of William Battell and his wife, Parnell French or Dr. Hugh Graham or both. These families made their way across the Chesapeake Bay to northern Virginia and settled where John Frogg's first records appear: his marriage.

Introduction

John and Elizabeth Frogg lived most of their lives on the South Branch of Broad Run in Michaelmass Township, Prince William County, Virginia. This area is currently 10 miles west of present day Gainesville, Virginia. "Captain" John Frogg married into a very rich and well established family, most of whom were burgesses, councilors, sheriffs and gentlemen of the colony of Virginia.

John and Elizabeth were Virginia plantation owners while John also served as sheriff, poll taker, and later became Major in the Virginia Militia for Prince William County, Virginia. He was in charge of "manning a line of forts from Great-Cape Capon in Hampshire Co. to the south fork of the Mayo River in Halifax" during the French and Indian War and earned the rank of Colonel

John Frogg's most notable friends, neighbors, and family members included, John Madison, (uncle to president James Madison), George Washington, James Monroe, the distinguished Lewis family of Colonial Virginia (parents of Meriwether Lewis ["Lewis & Clark]) , the Stuart family of Colonial Virginia, and Dr. Michael Wallace of Ellerslie, son of William Wallace of Galrigs and male descendant of William Wallace of Ellerslie (1270-1305), Scotland, also known as "Braveheart" as well as a host of other judges, councilors and gentry responsible for founding the colony of Virginia and the United States of America.

John Frogg was also Major to founding father and Supreme Court Chief Justice, John Marshall (1735-1855) during the French and Indian War. He was brother-in-law to Patrick Henry and the father of President Zachary Taylor.

John and Elizabeth were wealthy plantation owners who farmed a considerable amount of land in Virginia some of which would become West Virginia. The plantations were used to cultivate Sweet Virginian Tobacco which was tended by slaves shipped in from Africa. He became a justice for Fauquier County and retired in Bath County, (West) Virginia. According to tradition, John's son, Arthur was killed in a duel. Another son, John Frogg, Jr. was killed at the Battle of Point Pleasant in October 1774 while acting as sutler for the American militia against the Indians. All of John's daughter married into the gentry of Virginia. John and Elizabeth's only namesake, William Frogg would spawn some of the first settlers of present day Pall Mall, Tennessee.

Timeline

John Frogg, being referred to as a captain at a young age must have had experience as a merchant and mariner on a sailing vessell, likely taking over the trade of this guardians, (Battells, Grahams and Frenchs). He would have been moderately educated as a youth and probably had private tutors as he would soon become established with the gentry class.

This area that John Frogg was raised by his guardians can best be described by Colonel Byrd during his visit in 1732:

"Besides Colonel Willis, who is the top man of the place, there are only one merchant, a tailor, a smith, an ordinary-keeper, and a lady who acts both as a doctress and coffee woman" [19].

One of the earliest churches where John Frogg resided was Saint George's Parish Church in Spotsylvania was established in 1732. Below are some of the early vestrymen:

Augustus Smith, William Grayson, John Waller Thomas Chew, Geo. Wheatle, William Hansford, H. Sharpe, John Taliafero, Francis Thorton, Goodrich Lightfoot, Larkin Chew, Z. Lewis, Hon. John Robinson [father of Beverley Robinson, loyalists], Henry Beverley [former Governor of Jamaica and prisoner at Vera Cruz], Ambrose Grayson, Henry Beverley, Edward hickman, John Chew, F. Taliafero, John Waller, Jr., Wm. Robinson [John's Uncle, m. Ann Watts], Rice Curtis, William Battaley [Battaile], John Taliafero, Jr. Richard Tutt, John Thornton, Rice Curtis, Jr., William Waller Edward Herndon, Robert Jackson, John Spottswood, Feilding Lewis, Joseph Brock

Most of these families were inter-related or their children would later marry into each others families. The names in bold would play and integral role in John Frogg's life.

09 November 1738 (age 24) Captain John Frogg married Elizabeth Strother (abt 1720 - aft. Jul 1795) in Overwharton Parrish, Stafford County, VA [14]. Elizabeth was the daughter of William Strother III (1697-1732) a wealthy Virginia planter and his wife, Margaret Watts (1700-1754) who married circa 1718 and resided in King George County Virginia "on Ye Branches of Hassell Run" of which he paid 100 pounds sterling on October 1, 1725. Margaret was the daughter of Richard Watts who can be seen as a headright in Stafford County on Dec 29. 1677 [31] Another Richard Watts was headrighted in 1642 by John Ewers, Jr. to Charles City County This Richard Watts was the witness to Captain John Cheesman's 150 acre purchase of land by the "river coming out of the Pequoson pond" on 17 Cot 1662 [33].

The Strothers had remarkable ties with the gentry of Virginia. Margaret (Watts) Strother had a sister named Mary Watts who married first Col. Henry Ashton (7/30/1671-11/3/1731) and second John Ashton whose families married into the John and Augustine Washington families of Virginia. Margaret had another sister Ann Watts who married William Robinson of King George County, vestry of Hanover Parish and signer of the Northern Neck Declaration (Lord Fairfax). The Strothers sold land, opposite of Fredericksburg, to Augustine Washington, father of George Washington in 1738. William and Margaret gave birth to their second daughter of thirteen children, Elizabeth Strother (1721- a.1795). When William passed away at the age of 35, Margaret married Captain John Grant (?- 1754) of Stafford County between 1732 and before 1739 [32].

Sometime shortly after John Frogg's marriage to Elizabeth Strother they gave birth to Mary "Polly" Frogg. Mary later marries Dr. John Cowardine (b. 1723) , slave holder, military officer, and wealthy plantation owner near Short Hill in Greenbrier, WV. John Cowardin was the son of James Lewis Cowardin (1678-1762) and Margaret (Lynn) Lewis. In 1782, John and his wife were living in Augusta County, Virginia paying one poll and owning 3 slaves. [43]

August 5, 1740 (age 26) John Frogg is listed as the security in the will of George Whetley or Wheatley and in 1752 when George dies, John attests it. Typically close relatives would be obliged to perform such tasks. It is likely that John was related to George's wife as this author cannot find any additional ties between Wheatley and Frogg. George was likely born in Isle of Wight or Prince George County where John (1670) and Thomas (1717) can be seen probating their wills, respectively. George received a patent on Wild Cat Run in Fauquier County on 24 Dec 1716.

George Wheatley married Mary Henry on 3 Dec 1729 in Spotsylvania County, Virginia. She was the sister of John Henry (?-1773)and aunt to Patrick Henry (1736-1799), Governor of Virginia. Mary Henry was the daughter of Alexander Henry who married Jean Robertson in 1700 in Old Machar Parish, Aberdeen, Scotland [42]. An interesting link is the fact that Jean Robertson (1678-?), daughter of John Robertson, barber in Innerkethnie also married William Frogg, John Frogg's relative and surgeon in Tain in the Shire of Ross

November 24, 1740 (age 26) John Frogg II and Elizabeth Frogg as young newlyweds and a newborn of their own become guardian of , Sarah and Thomas Bullock (3 mos. old; possibly twins).

According to U.S. and International Marriage Records 1560-1900, Mary, twelve years his junior at the time of marriage was born in 1753. However, the American Genealogical Index states that her birth date was 1750. Cornelius Mitchell can be found in Culpepper County in March 1756 in Henning's Statutes (Vol. 7), listed as a foot soldier under Captains John and Francis Strother for 95 days of service.
