5257 Waldegrave Clopton was a Captain in the American Revolution. Although his military records have not been found, it is safe to say he probably entered service by 1776. He was a Captain by the time his younger brother, Thomas, joined him on the battlefield in early 1778. Thomas mentions him several times in his application to receive a pension for his service. CLOPTON Waldegrave (I114)

* Alexander Spotswood became acting royal governor of Virginia in 1710, by which time pressure on the colony to expand had become more acute than ever. In 1716, Governor Spotswood, with about 50 other men and 74 horses, led a real estate speculation expedition up the Rappahannock River valley during westward exploration of the interior of Virginia. The journalist of this expedition was a Huguenot, Lieut. John Fontaine, who served as an officer in the British Army.
The party included 14 rangers and 4 Meherrin Indians, and departed Germanna on August 29, coming within sight of the Blue Ridge Mountains in the 31st. They continued upriver past today's Stanardsville, reaching the head of the Rappahannock on September 2. Fontaine recorded in his journal for September 5 that axemen had to clear the way along the path of what he called the "James River", but which was in fact a creek along the eastern slope named Swift Run, surrounded on all sides by steep mountain terrain. Swift Run is part of the James River drainage system. The expedition had followed the Rappahannock drainage system up to this point.
There they crossed the top ridge of the Blue Ridge mountains at Swift Run Gap (elevation 2,365 feet).
On September 6, 1716, they rode down into the Shenandoah Valley on the east side of Massanutten Mountain and reached the Shenandoah River, which they called the "Euphrates" near the current town of Elkton. There, they fired multiple volleys and drank special toasts of wine, brandy, and claret to the King and to Governor Spotswood, naming the two peaks after them.[1] The taller summit they called "Mount George", and the lesser, "Mount Spotswood".
On the banks of the river they buried a bottle, inside which they had put a paper whereby Spotswood claimed the place in the name of George I. On the 7th, the party returned home, reaching Germanna on the 10th.
After the journey, Spotswood gave each officer of the expedition a stickpin made of gold and shaped like a horseshoe on which he had inscribed the words in Latin "Sic jurat transcendere montes", which translates into English as "Thus he swears to cross the mountains." The horseshoes were encrusted with small stones and were small enough to be worn from a watch chain.[2] The members of Governor Spotswood's expedition soon became popularly known as the "Knights of the Golden Horseshoe."
Of the expedition members, only the following are known by name to have taken part: Lt. Governor Spotswood, John Fontaine, Robert Beverley, Jr., William Robertson, Dr. Robinson, Mr. Todd, James Taylor (great-grandfather of US President Zachary Taylor), Robert Brooke (grandfather of VA Governor Robert Brooke), George Mason III, Capt. Smith, William Clopton, Jr., (second son of William Clopton and Ann Booth Clopton)and Jeremiah Clouder.[3]
In a Richmond news article, dated 16 Feb 1901, honoring John Bacon Clopton, the grandson of William Clopton Jr.. The following is a copy of a handwritten statement, signed and sealed to be found among the John Bacon Clopton papers at Duke University Library, Durhan North Caroline: There was in my father's possession a golden horseshoe which the tradition of the family said was worn by William Clopton Jr.. That is had 7 Diamonds set in it the place of nailheads, was inscribed on one side "Sic Juvat Trancsenderi Montes" and on the other "William Clopton, Knight." That as a child I have had it laid in my hand to look at and that it was of a size to encircle the center of my palm. And that this horseshoe was stolen by Pickpocket Smith, a notorious character, who operated among fashionable of Richmond in 1842 or 3. Witness my hand and seal this ninth day of August, 1897. Signed: Joyce Wilkinson Wallace
[edit]

A commemorative plaque and pyramid-shaped stone at Swift Run Gap (at the south side of U.S. Highway 33 near the Skyline Drive overpass) mark the historic crossing of the Knights of the Golden Horseshoe.[5] The Skyline Drive and the Appalachian Trail both pass nearby as well.


Also at this location, a Virginia Historical Highway Marker, # D10 Knights of the Golden Horseshoe, is located. It reads:
On 5 Sept. 1716, in this region, it is believed Lieutenant Governor Alexander Spotswood and his party of government officials, gentry, Native Americans, soldiers, and servants crossed the Blue Ridge Mountains into the Shenandoah Valley. Their adventure into Virginia's western lands began at Germanna late in Aug. and ended when they returned there on 10 Sept. According to legend, Spotswood gave his companions small golden horseshoes on their return and the group became known as the Knights of the Golden Horseshoe. The journey has been fictionalized and mythologized in literature since the 19th century.

5292 Wayne and Cindy met about 1963 when she and her sister, Marie came to the home of Willie and Anna Bishop just up the road from where Wayne lived. She came with her Uncle Georgie and Aunt Vivian to help paint the roof of the Bishop home. Georgie was Cindy's great uncle on her mother's side and Vivian was the daughter of Willie Bishop. During the painting hours Cindy remembers Wayne coming up and being introduced and she MAY remember looking down the road some to see if he was coming back. She also remembers that week that Anna made some of the best homemade biscuits and apple butter that she ever tasted! Around January 15, 1965 Wayne came to Cindy's home in Wakefield with 2 of his friends to ask her two older sisters to go to a dance that night. The way the story goes is Cindy's mother said that they could go only if Cindy could go with them! (Picture that!! Her mother must have had a very bad day and wanted them all out of the house!!) Cindy ended up going with Wayne to a dance in Ivor, Va. as a triple date when she was a mere 14!! They danced a couple of times, kissed once and the next morning Wayne did not even remember her name!! But he did ask his friends and the rest is history. They dated on and off - MOSTLY ON for the next four and half years. In 1967 Wayne began 4 years in the United States Navy and a lot of their dating was through letters. Wayne gave Cindy a diamond for her High School graduation in May of 1968 and they married a year later in the Wakefield Christian Church just up the street from her home. They lived in San Diego, California for two short stays while Wayne was stationed there in the Navy. When he was discharged they settled in the house that his parents built - the house where Wayne lived until his family of four brothers and sisters traded houses with his Grandmother Chappell just across the field. Wayne and Cindy have lived in this same house on the Chappell Farm in Surry County and at present they have spent 37 happy years there raising two children and now enjoying two grandchildren with one on the way. Wayne is now retired after 38 years with Honeywell (before was Allied Chemical, Allied Signal) and enjoys his days farming, gardening and fixing up things on the farm. CHAPPELL Thomas Wayne, Sr. (I1167)
 
5293 We do not know the name of James' 1st wife, the mother of his children. She may have been related to the Christopher Lewis of Surry County who named James Jones, "cooper," the executor of his will and left a legacy to James' daughter Mary Jones (will dated 1 Sept. 1673 and proved 20 Oct. 1673). Yet neither the name Christopher nor Lewis appeared in the Jones family. LEWIS Sarah (I2207)
 
5294 We have also the monuments of the ancient and excellent family of Brays:-
"Here lyeth the body of Col. David Bray, of this parish, who died 21st of Octo., 1717, in the 52d year of his age, and left his wife Judith and son David Bray, by "whom this monument was erected, in memory of him."
On the same is the following:-
.. Under this tomb, with her husband, lyeth )Mrs. Judith Bray, who departed this life the 26th day of October, 1720, in the 45th year of her age."

Translated from Latin inscription: "Here lies buried David Bray, Esquire, a man, handsome, able, and affable and charming in manner. A Justice appointed to the Council in Virginia by the most serene King George the Second, he was snatched away by death before entering office, in the prime of his life. He had joined to him in matrimony Elizabeth, the eldest daughter of John Page, Esquire, most closely joined to him by mutual affection, and he left her childless and grieving October 5th, 1731, aged 32." She put up this monument as a final tribute to their love.

From Geaneological Dictionary of Virginia:
Name: David Bray of James City county, a son of Col. David Bray of the same place, and (great) grandson of Councillor (James) Bray, was born in 1699. He was a man of large estate and, in 1631 (typo; actually 1731), on the recommendation of Gov. Gooch, appointed a member of the council. He married Elizabeth, daughter of John Page, of Williamsburg, but died Oct. 5, 1731, without issue.
From A Guide to the Memorials of Bruton Parish Church, Bruton Parish Church, Williamsburg, Virginia, 2006 Edition:
Grave #38 (West Face) original in latin, translation reads "Here lies buried David Bray, Esquire. A man handsome, able, and affable and charming in manner. A Justice Appointed to the Council in Virginia by the most serene King George the second, He was snached away by death before entering office, in the prime of his life. He had joined him in matrimony Elizabeth, eldest daughter of John Page, Esquire, Most closley joined to him by mutual affection, and he left her childless and grieving October 5th, 1731, aged 32 years. She set up this monument as a final tribute to their conjugal love." and
(East Face) original in Latin, Translation reads "Here are laid the mortal remains of Elizabeth Bray together with her most beloved husband, consumed by a wasting disease, she gave up the ghost on the 22nd day of April, 1734, in her 32nd year, serenely, courageously, piously."

5296 We know from her obit below that, in 1816, Agnes and Benjamin migrated to Franklin Co., TN.

Another story about the family and migration come from from J.B. Guthrie of Pelzor, SC who is a descendent of David and Mary Guthrie.

According to verbal family history, David Guthrie went to South Carolina to visit his brother-in-law, Stephen Booth (who married his sister Penelope). While he was down there he purchased 1,000 acres of land for $1,000.00, then returned home to Virginia for his wife, Mary Booth Guthrie, and their children. They loaded everything they could take on an ox cart and headed for SC. When they left, her wife's parents, John and Mary Smith Booth cried because the knew they would never see her again.

Not long after David and Mary Booth Guthrie moved to SC, Stephen and Penelope Guthrie Booth decided to move their family to Bedford Co., TN. According to family history, he tried to talk David into moving also but David told him he wished he had never left Virginia.

John and Mary Smith Booth did get to see their daughter again. David and Mary Booth Guthrie made a trip back to Virginia on horseback. They had to leave their children with a relative and since the trip took six months, when they finally returned, one of their smaller children did not know who they were.

5298 We know from the 1930 census that she was born in Oklahoma and her father was born in Missouri and her mother in Arkansas. PAYNE Violet Augusta Trevanion (I731)
 
5299 Weaver was born in Sussex Co., VA, in 1768, son of Richard and Betty Cotton. Weaver migrated to Wilkes Co., GA, prior to 1800, probably by way of North Carolina, and to Coweta Co. about 1830, settling near Moreland.

William and Weaver were twins. Weaver was christened according to the Albermarle Parish Register, on 7/31/1768 but William isn't mentioned. Assumption is that William died at birth.

About 1790: Marriage to Millie Robertson.
Weaver and Millie had three children.
Millie died in GA in about 1803-1805.

1793 Tax List for Wilkes Co., NS, Grisham District, lists a Weaver Cotton.

The census records show him in North Carolina in 1800 and in 1810.

8/3/1806: Marriage in Kettle Creek, Wilkes Co., GA, to Sarah Elizabeth Evans Bennett.
Weaver and Sarah had seven children.

1820 Wilkes County, GA, Page 186:
Weaver Cotton:
1 male - to age 10 (Travis);
2 males - 10-16 (Eli);
1 male - 16-18;
3 males - 18-26 (Henry & Cary);
1 male - 45 plus (Weaver);
3 females - to age 10 (Sarah & Nancy);
2 females - 10-16 (Rachael);
1 female - 26-45 (Mary).

In the third land lottery drawing in 1820, Weaver received some land in Wilkes County on Kittle Creek, where he was residing at the time.

1830 Federal Census for Wilkes Co., GA, Page 315, Line #11:
Weaver Cotton:
Males- 5 thru 9 - 2 (Weaver b. 1822 & Bennett b. 1824);
Males- 10 thru 14 - 1 (Travis b. 1815);
Males- 60 thru 69 - 1 (Weaver b. 1768);
Females- 10 thru 14 - 1 (Sarah b. 1815);
Females- 40 thru 49 - 1 (Sarah b. 1787).

Kittle Creek played a vital role in the War for Independence, and in the Civil War.

Coweta Co. Court records reveal, in part:
April 14, 1836
Cary Cotton and Sarah Cotton, Administrators will sell perishable property of Weaver Cotton, deceased, of 2nd District, Coweta Co. on 5th May.
This means Weaver died prior to April 14, 1836.

Will - 12/31/1837, Coweta Co., GA.
