| 2652 | [Tennessee Cousins] Page 305 JUDGE CALEB BAKER WALLACE, of the SUPREME COURT of KENTUCKY, was a son of SAMUEL WALLACE (JR.) and his wife ESTHER BAKER. Caleb Baker WALLACE was born in AMELIA CO. Virginia, and raised in CHARLOTTE County, Virginia, the birth date being 1742. Sept. 20, ??48, after his marriage to ESTHER BAKER, SAMUEL WALLACE p??ted 2017 acrers on land in the "BUFFALO SECTION" of what afterwards was part of PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY, Virginia. In 1772 he moved to what is now Charlotte County and in 1782 removed to Kentucky, where his son CALEB BAKER WALLACE had migrated and settled, and helped to draw a new Constitution of that State. Two sisters of ESTHER BAKER were married to two brothers, MARTHA BAKER to CHARLES EWING and MARY BAKER to ROBERT EWING; also no less than three of her uncles had married daughters of REV. JOHN THOMPSON, a noted early Presbyterian minister, viz: SAMUEL BAKER married ELIZABETH THOMPSON; ROBERT BAKER, JR. married MARY THOMPSON, and DOUGLAS BAKER married to JANE THOMPSON. Both the Bakers & the EWINGS came to Virginia from NEW CONNAUGHT (the GEORGE TALBOT Survey of Cecil County, Maryland) and New Munster - where they had been neighbors of MATTHEW WALLACE and his tribe. Also, the REV. JOHN THOMPSON had for several yrs ministered to the Presbyterians of CHESNUT LEVEL, a small place in what is now in the lower part of Chester County, Pennsylvania, but which was at that time considered in CECIL COUNTY, MARYLAND, SAMUEL WALLACE, (JR.) died in KENTUCKY at an advanced age [Bruce Baker] Concerning The Bakers and Rev. Thomson-Rev John Thomson died 1753 and was buried behind his son-in-law's house-Samuel Baker-who was married to Elizabeth. Samuel died 1757 and was also buried there. Samuel was brother to Caleb and Robert JR. The original location for the cem was covered by Lake Norman but the remains of all there were moved to Centre Presb. Church cem north of Charlotte on I-77 near Mt Mourne (can be seen from I-77). All the graves that were moved from the Baker cem are in the back left side. Samuel is the only known Baker buried in the original cem, as all his brothers died in VA. | Baker, Samuel (I21121)

| 2653 | [Tennessee Cousins] The maternal ancestor of the CROCKETES and the paternal ancestor of the THOMPSONS was that certain distinguished minister and Divine, of History, REV. JOHN THOMSON, who is buried in Baker's Graveyard near Beatty's Ford, in Mecklenburg County N. C. [The Scotch-Irish, or the Scot in North Britain, North Ireland and North America] The Rev. John Thomson, a Presbyterian minister who had removed from Chestnut Level, Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, to the Virginia valley about 1744, was ordered by the Synod in May of that year, to correspond with "many people" of North Carolina, who had petitioned the Synod for supplies. Either before or after that date, a daughter of Mr. Thomson had married Mr. Baker, who was one of the earliest settlers on Davidson's creek, locating about five miles from Beattie's ford, within the bounds of what afterwards became Centre Congregation, in Iredell county. Mr. Thomson visited this settlement in the summer of 1751, probably with the intention of remaining there. He was the first minister of any denomination to preach in that region. It is supposed by his biographer that he went at the solicitation of Moses Winslow, George Davidson, and other settlers in the vicinity of his son-in-law, who had known him in Pennsylvania. In 1751 Mr. Baker lived between the present Centre Church and Statesville. While in North Carolina, Mr. Thomson visited the new settlements within a radius of twenty miles from his home. He had a preaching station at William Morrison's near the present Concord Church, on Third Creek (an affluent of the South Yadkin), six miles northwest from Statesville; another station was within the bounds of what is now Fourth Creek Church; another, in Third Creek Congregation; another at Cathey's Meeting-house, afterwards Thyatira, ten miles from Salisbury; another, at what was then Osborne's Meeting-house; another, just below the present village of Davidson College, in Mecklenburg county. Mr. Thomson may also have had another preaching station farther south, within the bounds of what afterwards became Hopewell and Sugar Creek congregations. He died near Statesville in 1753. | Thompson, Rev. John (I763)

| 2655 | [The Buie Families of North Carolina] Archibald Buie, will written February 8, 1781, and probated Apr., 1782, Cumberland County, North Carolina (deceased May, 1781) by John Cameron; executors: Gilbert Buie, Duncan Buie, Daniel Buie (my three sons), witnesses: John Cameron, Malcolm Gilchrist; estate inventory April, 1782 by Henry Gaster; administrator bond to Henry Gaster signed by Henry Gaster, Gilbert Buie and John Cameron. Gilbert Buie (son): slave, Peter Duncan Buie (son): slave Charles, and cattle Daniel Buie (son): slave William Malcolm Buie (son): slaves Glasgow and Hannah John Buie (Duncan Buie's son): slave Jersie John Buie (grandson, son of Archibald): slave Rachal Rebekah Buie and Mary Buie (grandchildren, daughters of son Archibald):slave Jack Daniel Cameron (relation not stated): Fanny, slave The grandchildren were stated to be underage when the will was written. From careful analysis of the early North Carolina records, the compilers have determined that this Archibald Buie came to North Carolina from Jura in September, 1739. He may have been the son of Neill Buie and Christine McPherson of Ardfin and was baptized in 1705 and thus the brother of Daniel Buie (2). Archibald was granted 320 acres of land on the southwest side of the northwest branch of the Cape Fear in June, 1740, and 200 acres on the north side of the northwest branch of the Cape Fear in 1746. Archibald probably moved to the Barbecue Creek area about 1760. Archibald's sons Gilbert Buie (12), Duncan Buie (20), Daniel Buie (5 or 11), Archibald Buie (8), and Malcolm Buie (22) are discussed separately. The relationship to Daniel Cameron was not stated, but presumably he was a close friend, cousin, or son-in-law [Harnett Co., Heritage Book] Archie Buie was the first settler of what was to become the town of Lillington, his nearest neighbor was William Stevens, 3 miles away. In 1749 Hugh McLean and his family arrived from Scotland and settled below Fox Island. Archie Buie was one of the first Elders of Barbecue Presbyterian Church when it was formed in 1747. | Buie, Archibald (I11191)

| 2677 | [Wiley Holland] Richard was the second son of Jacob Sr. He was born in 1750, Nansemond County, Virginia and died in 1798 in Wake County, NC. The DAR records show him dying in 1796, but I think that is not correct. His Revolutionary war records show him dying in 1798. That makes more sense considering he had been made an executor of Jacob's will in 1798. Richard married Mary Edwards about 1770. She was the daughter of Micajah and Elizabeth Edwards. Micajah was also a Revolutionary War soldier and his will is in Southhampton, Virginia, dated 1781. Jacob Sr. had11 children--- James- Richard your line)-Jacob(my line)-Lamon-David - Hardy- Diolacan(Cullen)- Barsheba- Sarah-Abra and William.I have all the Hunter, Beckwith, Yancey, Dudley,Hardaway,,Norrisetc etc. Some of it goes down to1964. All that is your line.My records show that Richard and Mary had eight children- 4 boys and 4 girls.Do you know anything about two of his daughters who married Hare brothers. One of the boys was Edmond who was still living in 1850 in Moore County and of course you have Col. David Henry who married Mabel Bridges. | Holland, Richard (I20795)
