Evelyn B., Eleanor C. married Theodore S. Garnett, Jr.
Francis H. married Richard C. Taylor, Jr. William Fitzhugh Randolph, brother of the . Bishop, married Miss Carter; now lives in Miss., and has eight children. His sister Mary M. married Edward C. Turner. There are three children by this union: Beverly Randolph, born 1839; lives at the old homestead, Fauquier County and unmarried. His brother, Rev. Buck- ner M. Randolph, was the well-known minister who spent eighteen years in church work in lower Virginia. His wife was Miss Hoxton. His large family of children live in various sections.
Augustine Smith Magill, born 1811, married Miss Weeks,, granddaughter of Col. Charles M. Thruston; removed to Louisiana. After his death in 1851, his surviving family was swept away by the Tidal wave at Last Island on the Gulf Coast, when over 400 persons lost their lives.
10. Frances C. Magill married in 1834 Thomas G. Gordon, of Florida. One of her daughters, Mary M. Gordon, married July 17, 1866, Rev. Geo. A. Long. They had eight children. Mrs. Gordon after the death of her husband in Texas, married her cousin Alfred Thruston. By this
marriage there were three children: (1) Jeanette P. who married Saml. B. Logan, of Winchester, Dec. 11, 1867. After his death, she married Dr. Wm. H. Rader, of Broadway, Va., by whom she had three children.
Alfred Buckner Thruston born 1848, is well remembered by the writer. He was familiarly called Buck, and was a warm-hearted young man. He spent many days at "Greenwood," as a tem- porary member of Mr. James C. Baker's family. He now resides at Sedalia, Mo .; married in 1881 Mary L. Washington, of Tenn. They have five children. Mr. Thruston is a civil engineer. Sid- ney F. Thruston, sister of Buckner, married in 1873 Chris R. Branner, of Rockingham County, Va. (now deceased). Six children by this union.
11. Buckner Thruston Magill was Asst. Sur- geon in U. S. Navy. Died at sea some time in 1841, unmarried. He was youngest child of Col. Charles Magill.
James Magill owned land on Hogue Creek in 1768; and was still in that country as late as 1777. It is thought he was not a brother of John Magill who first appears in Frederick County in 1768.
The Moore Family
The first appearance of this family in the Shenandoah Valley was in 1824, when Thomas A. Moore came from Alexandria and opened a law office in Charles Town. In 1840 he became Clerk of Jefferson County Court and held the office until his death in 1889. He reared four sons : S. J. C. Moore, who practiced law in Clarke County. He was Major Samuel J. C. Moore of Confederate War fame. Cleon Moore became a member of the Charles Town bar. His brother, B. W. Moore, a lawyer, removed to Fayette County, West Virginia. The remain- ing son is Rev. J. Harry Moore mentioned else- where as the accomplished Presbyterian divine. Cleon Moore, of Alexandria, was the ancestor of this family. We find that one of his sons, Thomas Moore, was a commissioned officer in the Virginia Line at the close of the Revolution- ary War. Several of the Moore generations are found in other States, Texas and Mississippi.
Mr. A. Moore, Jr., the prominent attorney of Berryville, has won success in his profession. His ancestors were of the pioneer class in South Carolina, but removed to Virginia about 1760, and remained in Westmoreland County. Mr. Moore's father removed to the Shenandoah Val- ley early in the 19th Century. The subject of this notice was born in Clarke County, May 30, 1846, where he received his academic education; entered the Confederate Army when only fif-

teen, and served to the surrender. His law course at the University of Virginia, closed in 1870, when he commenced the practice of his profession in Berryville. In 1889 he represented Clarke and Warren counties in the House of Delegates. Mr. Moore's splendid library con- tains valuable collections of Colonial history. The author here acknowledges Mr. Moore's courtesy for the use of his library.
The Lupton Family of Applepie Ridge
Generally distinguished as the Quaker branch, this family had its origin in David Lupton, son of Joseph and Rachael Lupton. David was born 1757; died 1822.
Children of David, son of David, Sr., and Mary Hollingsworth :
(1) Ruth, wife of Phineas Janney; died 1804.
(2) Joseph Lupton; died 1825.
(3) Isaac Lupton; died 1820.
(4) David Lupton; died 1814
(5) Nathan Lupton; died 1843.
(6) Jonah Lupton, born July 20, 1795; died 1870.
(7) Lewis, born Oct. 16, 1797; died 1859.
(8) Joel Lupton, born Mch. 28, 1804; died 1883.
Joel Lupton married Sarah G., dau. of John and Rebecca Haines. She died 1863. Was the mother of Wm. G., Nathan, Mary Ann, Rebecca H., Joseph, Rachael, Susan A., Joel, Jr., Sarah Jane, and Maria C. Lupton.
Joel, Jr., married Ellen Hough, 1869. The chil- dren by this issue were Mary Wood, Charles Littler, Hugh, Jr., and Anna Lupton. Wm. G., married E. Virginia Donnelley, issue: Sarah E. and Mary S. Wm. G. became prominent in Phila. Miss Mary S. is the only survivor of this fam- ily, her travels abroad and liberal education gives her distinction in the Lupton connection. One of her father's sisters is the wife of Mr. John Jolliffe.
The writer hoped to follow the line of Joel to date; but the branches have failed to respond in time.
The brothers Lewis and Joel Lupton were ex- tensively engaged in the lumber business. They furnished the sawed lumber for making and equipment of the Winchester and Potomac Rail- road. During the time referred to, Lewis in- vented, made and used the first road scraper seen in this section. Some enterprising machinists of Kennet Square, Penna., seeing it in use, took advantage of their opportunity, and soon had this useful piece of road machinery in general use, claiming exclusive rights. These brothers also have the credit of inventing and making the first cylinder threshing machine known to be in use in this section. It was Joel Lupton who
first advanced the idea that to mow grass suc- cessfully, the motion of shears must be used; and invented a mowing machine with this im- provement, which he sold to a man named Hub- bard in New Jersey. McCormick, then working on the same line, assisted Hubbard, and secured the right to take the machine to Chicago, and proceeded to control its use. Hubbard instituted suit to recover his rights; then it was the cel- ebrated law suit relating to patents was insti- tuted. Joel Lupton was an important witness ; he identified the machine. The suit resulted in a verdict favorable to Hubbard. What Joel re- ceived in return is not known.
Jonah H. Lupton, son of David, was married to his first wife, Martha A. Sidwell, dau. of Richard and Charity Sidwell, Apl. 17, 1817. She died 1836, leaving one daughter Thomasin M. Lupton, born 1818; died 1897. She was the wife of Jacob Rees, and was the mother of the fol- lowing children: Jonah L., Martha A., Ruth E., Samuel D., and Jane S.
Jonah H. Lupton married his second wife Lydia Walker. She was the daughter of Edward and Mary Walker; was born Jan. 20, 1804; died Jany. 29, 1829, and was the mother of Ann Lupton, Mary Walker Lupton, Edward W., Hugh Sidwell, David P., and Rebecca Jane.
Ann M. Lupton married John L. Bond; she was the mother of Howell M., Walker M., Allen B., Edward L., Anna S., and Mary E. Bond.
Mary Walker Lupton married William L. Irish; died 1890; was the mother of Rachael S., Edward L., and Lydia W. Irish.
Edward Walker Lupton married Mary E. Jan- ney; issue, E. Janney, William Taylor and James McSherry Lupton.
Hugh S. Lupton married Mary R. Speekman, Jany. I, 1880. Issue: Daniel Walker, born Nov. 27, 1881; Carrie D., born Nov. 5, 1883; James R. born Oct. 16, 1892; Hugh Sidwell, Jr., born Dec. 24, 1895.
Rebecca J. Lupton married Seneca P. Broom- ell Sept 23, 1884; was the mother of G. Lup- ton Broomell, Arthur Wm., and Margaret.
David Lupton, mentioned as the progenitor of the Applepie Ridge branch, was a nephew of John the father of Joshua, who have been fully men- tioned in connection with the Round Hill, or Presbyterian Lupton branch. The pioneer of both branches was Jos. Lupton who died 1758, leaving 8 children, several of whom were then married. Their names will appear in this con- nection.
David Lupton and his aged father Joseph, son of Joseph the pioneer, lived on a large tract at the head of Babb's Marsh, devised by the pio- neer. They soon acquired other tracts, aggre-
454
CARTMELL'S HISTORY
gating about 1,700 acres. On this tract David built the brick house in 1795, at a cost of $5,000. This house has been mentioned elsewhere as the home of Mr. Ruble. Strange to say, this house at that early day, gained notoriety for two fea- tures in its construction : one being the windows were hung with cords and weights-the first used in the Shenandoah Valley beyond a doubt. The wine vault built in the cellar, was one of the most complete attachments the old Friend had to offer his guests. This vault was in its original style when the writer saw it many years ago (minus the wine). The large tract was sub- divided between the three sons, Jonah, Lewis and Joel. They owned and maintained well known homesteads up to and during the Civil War. All were conscientious Union men and unmistakable Quakers. The old homesteads have somewhat lost their identity with the old period.
Joseph Lupton the pioneer, in his will, probated in 1758, mentions the following children: Wil- liam, Sarah Pickering, Joseph, Elizabeth Paxon, Ann, Mercy Haines, Jonathan and John. The last named must have been the youngest child. He is mentioned fully elsewhere as the father of Joshua. Joseph the third child of the pio- neer, died at his home on Applepie Ridge, 1791. His father mentions this son in connection with his personal effects in this wise: "I desire my son Joseph shall have my Gold-headed cane." This is mentioned to verify a tradition concern- ing the cane, held by some members of the fam- ily. This Joseph died in 1791. By his will he left a large estate to his family, which consisted of Rachael his wife, son David, Ann Updegraff, Hannah Lupton, and David and Rachael Wood, his grandchildren.
David only son of Joseph, has been fully men- tioned. David the only son of Joseph, died 1805. His uncle John, father of Joshua and brothers, constituted the Presbyterian branch. John in his will, leaves his large estate to his wife Ann, and his minor children, viz: Joshua, Nathan, Grace Steer, John, Jr., Joseph, Mary Baley, Sarah Russell, and Elizabeth Lupton.
Nathan and Joseph with their lines, drifted into other States; and at this writing no defi- nite reports come to close the large connection.
The John Lupton family found in Clarke Coun- ty, the writer has been informed, descended from the David Lupton branch. This John's sister Mary married Jos. S. Jackson. John's wife was Miss Milton, mother of Rebecca, wife of Rev. Mr. Lingamphleter, and John, now of Louisville, Ky.
There is a tradition in the family that three persons bearing this name (Lupton) were de- ported from England in 1635; landed at Bos-
ton, where there is a record of their arrival. This may be doubted, since we have no evidence that Boston or its harbor had a place on any map at that early day.
Mr. Hugh S. Lupton, mentioned as the grand- son of David, lives near Clearbrook, in one of the most modern and complete houses found in the country, which he built in 1897 at a cost of $5,000. One hundred years after his grand- father erected his at the same cost. Mr. Lupton owns a well-cultivated farm, and has successful- ly managed an insurance business, with offices in Winchester.
The Huntsberry Family
This family is well known in the section North of Winchester as belonging to that sturdy class of citizens who developed the resources of the country, Augustine Huntsberry being of that num- ber. He left a large estate and a large family of children, viz : Henry, Jacob, John, Edward C., Mrs. Robt. T. McVicar, and Mrs. James H. Faulkner (his first wife). Henry and family live in Washington, D. C. His children are: George, Harry, Lucy, William, Augusta, and Melly. Jacob lives in Rockingham County; John married Miss Grant. Edward C. married dau. of Oscar Barr.
Augustine had two sisters, Mrs. Catharine Kyle, and Mrs. Cain. The latter's husband is of the highly-respected family found along the Opec- quon in early days.
The Hardesty Family
The first of this name appears in what is now Jefferson County, and settled in vicinity of Smithfield, in 1791. This was Richard Hardesty. He reared a large family, having married twice. His first wife was a Miss Smith. She was the mother of John, Isaac, Lee, George, Ephraim, Reese, Franklin, Moses and Mary. His second wife was a Miss Pierce, the mother of Richard S., Adrian D., Thomas P., James M., Lucy C., Catherine, Charles WI, Joseph E., Elijah and Matilda. From these have sprung many promi- nent men and women, mostly to be found out- side of Frederick. George Hardesty represented Clarke County for two terms in the General As- sembly. William G. was one of the Justices of Clarke, 1852-60. One brother was a merchant in Berryville, and several others were noted far- mers and stock-dealers.
A daughter of Reese Hardesty married U. S. Senator Daniel W. Vorhees. Mr. Jones J. Har- desty is a well-known farmer and stock-dealer, residing in Frederick.
The Colston Family
This name has been familiar to Shenandoah
455
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES
Valley history from the days of the Revolution in 1776. Long before this period it was widely known in Eastern Virginia. We find William and Armstead in Old Frederick County in the early part of the 19th Century. Their ancestor was John Colston, of Jefferson County, Va. Then we have Col. Raleigh Colston in Winches- ter in 1778. In 1798 he purchased Maidstone Manor in Berkeley County, to which he moved and spent the remainder of his life. There he died in 1823. His wife was a sister of Chief Justice Marshall. Their son Edward inherited the homestead, who married Sarah J., daughter of Judge Wm. Brockenbrough, of the Court of Appeals of Virginia. He has been mentioned as one of the soldiers of the 1812 War. His brother Thomas Colston settled in Loudoun County. His son Raleigh married Gertrude Pow- ell, of same county. He was in the Auditor's Office in Richmond when the writer saw him last.
The Colstons intermarried with many promi- nent families in several states. Their lines are too numerous to mention in this limited space. Some of these families are Minors, Blackfords, Thomases, Gordons, Leighs, Robinson, Stephen- sons, and Taylors. The Colstons of Clarke, Jef- ferson and Berkeley County are descendants of the old line.
The Dearmont Family
This name appears in the list of Irish emi- grants that found their way into the Shenandoah Valley prior to the Revolutionary War, among whom were William and Michael Dearmont. William is found in Fauquier County in 1771. Michael enlisted in one of the Valley Companies in 1773, and received pay for two months ser- vice. William was in Col. Fry's Regiment; and his name was carried on the rolls through the War from 1778 to 1783. He had a son Michael in Prince William County in 1827. He then appears in Frederick County in vicinity of White Post the following year. Michael's wife was a Miss Furguson of P. William County. Col. Washington Dearmont was one of their six chil- dren reared in Clarke County. He married a daughter of Strother Bowen. She was the mother of Ernest, William A., Charles O., and Mamy J. Their father was one of the Militia Colonels when the Civil War came. He then enlisted in the Col. Jno. S. Moseby's First Com- pany of Guerillas, and served through many raids of this noted chieftain.
The Lucas Family
This name is associated with the pioneers in many ways. Old records point to their promi- nence from 1743 all down through the eventful
vista to the present time. The author has no intention to write even a scrap of history of the family, which has been well told in many forms by others; and we need no more than a note at this time.
We find the Lucas name prominently mentioned in connection with every war period from the Indian massacres to and through the Civil War, 1861-65.
We find Edward Lucas in the War of 1812, and in Congress in 1833-37, as the representa- tive from the Valley District. We find his brother William Lucas, from the same district, in Congress from 1839-43. He was the father of Hon. Daniel B. Lucas, the gifted lawyer, orator and poet, whose mother was the daugh- ter of Capt. Daniel Bedinger, of Revolutionary War fame. Mr. Lucas has gathered renown from his countrymen in various ways. His ser- vices as legislator, judge, lawyer and citizen, have been of high value to his State. In 1869, he married Miss Lena Brooke.
Alexander R. Boteler
The name of "Alec" Boteler was familiar to the people of the Lower Valley during the heated political campaign of 1851-59, while he was con- tending with such men as Ran. Tucker, Charles J. Faulkner, and Wm. L. Lucas, for honors. Mr. Boteler was an old line Whig; and his stump speeches were notable specimens of oratory, captivating voters and winning fame. His oppo- nents, being men of marked ability, made those campaigns memorable. The writer heard them gladly on every occasion possible. He was de- feated by Mr. Faulkner in 1852, by a small majority, and also in 1857. In 1859 they were again in the field. This time he defeated Mr. Faulkner, and took his seat in the 36th Con- gress. His short term of service was distin- guished for its activity and oratorical effect upon the Congress that was confronted with the disso- lution of the Union in 1860. Mr. B. saw ser- vice in the Confederate Army, and was at one time member of the Confederate Congress. Mr. Boteler was born in Shepherdstown in 1815. His father was Dr. Henry Boteler. Several of the ancestors were in the Revolutionary War. Their homes were near the border line of Maryland and Virginia.
The Lewis Family of Clarke and Jefferson
The writer can only mention this distinguished family to show their presence in the Valley about the Revolutionary War period. They have a direct line from Col. Fielding Lewis, whose marriage with his two cousins, Kate and Bettie Washington, has always given the Lewis family
456
CARTMELL'S HISTORY
prominent notice by historians of the Washing- tons of Westmoreland.
One of Col. Lewis's sons, Major Lawrence Lewis, married Eleanor Parke Custis, the adopted daughter of Genl. Washington; and Major Law- rence became the grandfather of the Lewis fam- ilies found in Clarke and Jefferson within the last thirty years. One of his sons was Lorenzo Lewis, who married a Miss Coxe of Philadelphia. Two of his daughters, Frances Parke, and An- gela, married respectively Genl. Butler, of Louis- iana, and Hon. Charles M. Conrad, of the same State. (President Fillmore's Secretary of War.)
Mr. Lewis had six sons, three of whom were familiar figures in the Lower Valley. They were J. R. C., Edward P. C., and H. L. Danger- field Lewis. The former was an officer in Com- modore Perry's expedition to Japan, and also an officer in the Confederate Army, 1861-65. After this service, he retired to his farm in Clarke County. Edward P. C. became prominent in business in Hoboken, N. Y. The youngest son, Dangerfield Lewis, has been mentioned in this volume as the president of the S. V. Agricul- tural Society. His home was in Clarke, the old Audley homestead. After his death, his widow and children removed to New York.
General Adam Stephen has been mentioned as a compatriot of Genl. Morgan. Genl. Stephen must not be confounded with the Peter Stephens family, for no trace of family relation can be found. He was one of the prominent pioneers of the extreme Northern section of Frederick County; and his family intermarried with the pioneer families of that section. He was a brother of Alexander Stephen, whose will was probated Aug. 3, 1768. Adam and his brother Robert inherited part of his estate. Genl. Adam Stephens' will was probated Sept., 1791, in the District Court of Frederick County. He de- vised lands, slaves, etc., to his family; mentions his daughter Mrs. Dandridge and son Robert Stephen.
The Baylor Family
The Baylors of Jefferson County, West Vir- ginia, may not be classed with the pioneers of the Shenandoah. They belong to the John Bay- lor family found in Gloucester County in the latter part of the 18th Century, who had two sons John and Gregory in Caroline County, 1640 to 1760. Their descendants are to be found in Jefferson County and also in Augusta County. We find Richard the oldest son of Gregory in Jefferson County, about 1786. His sons have been prominent in military and civil life. One was Capt. Robert Baylor mentioned in connection with the Laurel Brigade. Two of his sons were
killed during the Civil War. Judge R. E. B. Baylor, the founder of the Baylor University, Texas, was a son of Capt. Walker Baylor of the Revolutionary War. At this writing, three of his grandchildren live in Frederick County, viz : Frances Courtenay Baylor (Mrs. Barnum) the authoress, Mrs. Genl. John B. Walker, and Major Eugene Baylor. Mrs. Walker's son, Capt. Philip M. Walker, U. S. Army, maintains the military spirit of the Baylor and Walker families.
The Gibson Family
Braxton D. Gibson, of Charles Town, son of Col. Jno. T. Gibson of Confederate War fame, belongs to the Scotch-Irish emigration that came through Pennsylvania and settled in the vicin- ity of Winchester about the beginning of the Revolutionary War. The Gibsons of South Branch and those of Jefferson County, West Vir- ginia, are all of this stock. They have been pre- viously mentioned in this work. The good name of this prominent family has been well sustained by the gentleman first named, Col. B. D. Gibson. He has served his State in the General Assem- bly of West Virginia; is a lawyer in good prac- tice, and one of the wealthy citizens of his county. He married Miss Mason a niece of the late Governor Holliday. Her father was Dr. Mason of Charles Town.
The Timberlake Family
This family first appeared as one of the pio- neers in 1733. Coming from England, they made settlement in Tidewater Virginia. Two grand- sons of this first family, William and David, are found on large tracts of land in what is now Clarke County, about the middle of the 18th Century. From this settlement, numerous branches grew, until the name was found in various localities in the Valley. Want of space prevents a satisfactory sketch of several lines that have been familiar to many readers. The writer remembers the brothers Stephen D. and Washington Timberlake who owned splendid es- tates in the Northern part of Frederick County, prior to the Civil War, both of whom sent gal- lant sons into the Confederate Army. Some were slain in battle. Mr. Stephen D. was a splendid type of the old Virginia gentleman. His old homestead in recent years passed to James T. Clevenger. When the war closed, Capt. Seth M. Timberlake returned to the old place, and for several years he and his attractive family did much to restore much of its old-time ap- pearance. Finally he and his brother Joseph went to New York and spent many years with Charles B. Rouss.
Mr. Wm. Timberlake, of Brucetown, Fredk. Co., is well known in Frederick County for his in-
457
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES
tegrity. He is the son of William and grand- son of Benjamin, related to the families men- tioned.
Washington Timberlake had two sons who sur- vived the Civil War, both are Confederate vet- erans. George was badly wounded; Harry lives in Winchester. The Timberlakes of Clarke County were always distinguished as the "Hill and Dale" family. Capt Dick Timberlake was associated with this place for many years. He was born near Berryville in 1801. Mr. Thos. W. Timberlake who lived at "Milldale," was his son, whose intermarriage connected him with the Griggs, Harfield, Sherman and Bee families.
The Douglas Family
This name appears among the pioneers of Northern Frederick. This was William Douglas. He came from Delaware; was of the Douglas Clan, so prominent in Scottish history. He reared a large family in what is now Jefferson County, West Virginia. Several of his sons be- came distinguished men in other States. One son, who remained in his native county, was Judge Isaac R. Douglas, mentioned elsewhere. in connection with Old District Courts. He reared a large family; but so far as known to the writer, not one of the name is to be found in the Lower Valley at this writing. One son, Dr. Wm. A. Douglas, was an eminent physician in San Francisco a few years ago. One daughter became the wife of Judge White, of St. Louis. Her sister is the wife of Dr. W. McPherson Fuller, of Winchester, and mother of "Doug" Ful- ler, Cashier of the Farmers and Merchants Nat. Bank of Winchester. One of Mrs. Fuller's brothers, Archibald M. Douglas, was living in West Virginia a few years ago.
Judge Parker
We have frequently mentioned Judge Richard Parker in connection with old law suits, crim- inal trials and other subjects. He succeeded Judge Douglas in 1849; and presided as Judge of the District Courts until his service was closed by the Civil War. He belonged to an old line of jurists. His great-grandfather, Rich- ard, was Judge of the East Virginia Circuit; died 1813. He had five sons in the Revolu- tionary War. Judge Parker's father, Judge Richard E. Parker, was a Judge of the General Court in the Norfolk Circuit, 1817-31; and then moved to the Shenandoah Valley and lived in Winchester; was elected U. S. Senator, 1836; afterwards appointed Judge of the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia. Judge Richard, the son, was M. C. in 1848. His old home on Washing- ton Street, Winchester, has been mentioned else- where. The quaint old house has the credit of
