Notes
- Dr. William Chipley, son of Captain William Chipley, was born in Maryland on May 13, 1771. He moved with his father to Frederick County, Va., where he lived until not later than 1799, as he appears as witness to a will probated in Montgomery County, Va., in that year. Marriages in Rockingham County, Va. by Harry M. Strickler shows that in 1800 William Chipley married Abigail Herring, daughter of Wm. Herring, with David Stephenson as Surety. They moved to North Carolina, near Statesville, where his wife died before 1806. Records of Augusta County, Va. by Lyman Chalkley gives reference to a suit for partition of estate of William Herring and names “his grandchildren William and Elizabeth Chipley, infant children of Wm. Herring's daughter, Abigail, who married William Chipley and had died in Carolina in William Herring's lifetime.
- On March 4, 1808 he married Isabella Sharpe of Iradelle County, N.C., who was born July 22, 1776. About 1820 they moved to Old Cambridge S. C. [1820 South Carolina Census lists in Abbeville CC 003 320001-20010], where they lived until his death on Oct. 8, 1823, which, according to tradition he contracted while attending his children who were ill with this disease. This tradition is supported by the fact that his oldest son by his second wife died the following day. His wife and children returned to North Carolina where she died on April 4, 1865 (1860 North Carolina Census lists her in Catawba County Jacob's Fork P.O.).
