Kings, FAirfax tax list 1787 - need identifications Posted by: Patricia Snyder (ID *****0856) Date: October 07, 2007 at 15:03:57

  of 18678  


Hi,

Does anyone know if and how these Kings are related:

William, Hargiss, Benjamin, John and Laurence. All on the 1787 tax list - Benjamin, John, William, Hargus and Lawrence on 1789.

Does anyone know who any one of them married:

For Hargis I have Winifred Wisehart For Laurence, Jane ?

Is anyone familiar with a King who married Ann (Nancy) Sudderth - Suddeth,ith, erth, ath,uth, etc?

Nancy and her sister Peggy, daughters of Benjamin Sudduth (etc) and Silent Jeffries, both married Kings.

Nancy was born 1745, could have married 1763 at 18. Lawrence was born 1765. Peggy would be too young.

I believe Nancy could be the mother of Laurence Sudworth King as listed on tax list - probably in this case Sudderth.

This has been my brickest of the brick walls - would be very very grateful - massively grateful - for any information.

Thank you, Pat Snyder

Is there anyone who have any Suddwerth-Virginia connections in Fairfax Co?

After a long struggle, I have been able to contemplate a line for the Laurence King who ended up in Ahens Co Ohio and is the sire of many kings there.

He evidently has a mother with the name Suddwerth who married a Virginia King. I had begun to think he was brought by a magical stork.

Laurence's name on the 1797 Virginia tax is Laurence Sudworth King. That is actually one of the mispellings the census taker made. There are no Sudworths in the country until 1850 and then in Utah. A ton come to Canada and New England at that time.

There are a lot of Sudderth's in Fairfax County where Laurence is living.

There are five Kings in fairfax in the immediate neighborhood, tied together with a relaionship with Aaron Simpson. Hargis, William, John, Benjamin and Lawrence King. Lawrence worked for Simpson - who lives on a farm next to Hargis. Since these all live close and are about the same age, I am thinking they are brothers. A Benjamin Sudderth married Silence Simpson.

I would appreciate hearing from anyone in Fairfax who is familiar with this Sudderth Suddurt, Suddart, clan..

Thanks, Pat Snyder



Children of HARGIS KING and WINIFRED WISEHART are:

  • i. FRANCES 'FANNY'2 KING, b. Bet. 1760 - 1777, prob. Virginia; d. Aft. 28 Apr 1835, prob. Tennessee; m. (1) BENJAMIN SUDDATH II, WFT Est. 1790-1799, Virginia/Tennessee; b. 05 Aug 1757, St. Paul's Parish, King George County, Virginia; d. 18 Feb 1835, Roane County, Tennessee; m. (2) DANIEL MCNAIR, 22 May 1845, Roane County, Tennessee; b. WFT Est. 1770-1800.

Notes for FRANCES 'FANNY' KING: Some researchers have questioned the first name of Benjamin Suddath's wife. This researcher has not seen any proven records to indicate that this daughter of Hargis King was named Fanny, but several researchers claim it to be true. Fanny King probably died before her husband.

Notes for BENJAMIN SUDDATH II: Need more information on this Benjamin Suddath. It is possible that he married earlier in Fairfax county, but no information has been found to date.



Benjamin Suddath, b. August 5, 1757, St. Paul's Parish, King George County, Virginia, died April 28, 1835, Roane County, Tennessee.

Married first, wife unknown, possibly Frances Keener/Kenner. Children: not known

From "Update on Benjamin Suddath, Revolutionary War Veteran", unpublished paper obtained from Norma Farrell, 1171 Twelve Oaks Drive, Mobile, AL 36695:

Benjamin enlisted as a volunteer, substitite for William Lipson, in Captain William Mason's trrops, in September 1780, for a term of six-months. His home at that time was in the Alexandria District, Fairfax County, Virginia. He marched from there to "Colechester town", Dumfries, Fredericksburg, Richmond, across the Roanoake River to Hillsborough, North Carolina, Guilford Court House, across the Yadkin River to Salisbury, Charlotte, then across toe Pee Dee River and on to near Charleston, South Carolina. Here they joined the 'main army' commanded by General Green and General Morgan and spent the winter. The next spring Green's army retreated from Cornwallis, more or less the way they had come down. Cornwallis' army overtook them at the Yadkin River where a battle was fought. He was kept in service for "about two months" after his six months enlistment had expired, and was discharged by Captain Mason.

He next served four months in a Regiment comanded by Colonel West. They marched from Loudoun County, Virginia, to Falmouth, Fredericksburg, Bowling Green, Williamsburg and "Little York", where they joined Washington's army during the "seige of York". He escorted British prisoners under guard back along approximately the same route to Hollands Ferry where the prisoners were turned over to troops from Maryland. He then served another two months under Col. Rine, reconnoiterinf along the Potomac River from Fredericksburg.

He then served five months under Captain Vicory aboard the ship Visur, which was "laden with flour for the support of the Americans at Havanah? Island?. The deposition suggests that the ship was captured and he "was then taken prisoner by the British, was put in irons and carried to New York..." where he was imprisoned on a British ship until the end of the war. Near the end of his deposition, made 11 September 1832, Benjamin states that he "served in all upward of sixteen months". Bear in mind that this is the account of a man 72 years old recalling events which had occurred more than fifty years before.

The periods of service given above add up to 19 months, which would have taken it up to April, 1782. The Bureau of Pensions of the Department of the Interior shows 7 months under Mason, 4 months under West, 2 months under Rine, and 5 months under Vicorry on the ship "Visur". These add up to 18 months, which would take it up to March, 1782.

Letter from Mrs. Jere (Jane) Ballentine, Dayton, Tennessee, dated 8/1/1984:

Several years ago, my mother, Emma Suddath Jones, did some family research when she was considering joining the D.A.R. After her death, I found a page from a notebook with the following information. I am going to give it to you exactly as she wrote it.

"Benjamin Suddath, lived at Alexandria, Fairfax County, Virginia - married Silent (Jefferies) Suddath - was the father of four sons, James, William, Lewis and Benjamin - died at his home about 1790. His son Benjamin, a Revolutionary War soldier, left Alexandria and settled in Roane County near Kingston, Tennessee on the Emory River where he had a large farm. He was married to Frances Keener (poss. Kenner?) and they were the parents of several sons. He is buried on his farm near Kingston, now known as the Adams place."
