"1840 Citizens of Texas", Vol. 3 by Gifford White - Ericson Books 1988
Page 226 states that SHADRACK PIPKIN and STEWART PIPKIN both arrived in Texas prior to 14 Jun 1841, and that both petitioned the Republic of Texas for a certificate for land. Both received Unconditional Certificates for 320 acres in Washington County on 13 Jun 1844. They were probably already living on the land since there was a three year residence requirement for the Certificates. | PIPKIN, Shadrack W (I12877)

"Among the early Quaker settlers in Pennsylvania was Moses Bowen and Rebecca Reese, his wife. They emigrated with a large company from Wales about 1698, having purchased 10,000 acres of land in Guinnedd Township, Chester Co.,PA. Moses Bowen married Rebecca Reese, both born in Wales." (Margaret Campbell Pilcher: HISTORICAL SKETCHES)
According to "Narratives of Early Pennsylvania," edited by Albert Cook Myers - 1912, p. 451: "The mass of the first Welsh settlers arrived in Pennsylvania August 1682 - They were Quakers from Merionethshire."
Moses Bowen and Rebecca Reese (Rees, Rhys) were undoubtedly married in Wales, and they may have been in the party who came on the "LYON", John Compton, master, with the Dr. Edward Jones party, in 1682. Edward Rees and family were in this party, and it is assumed there is some close
relationship between Rebecca Rees and Edward Rees (Rhys), but so far no records have been found for proof. It is thought by some that her father was Hugh Rees (Rhys) and her mother was a Lloyd. Not proven.
According to "Colonial Families of Philadelphia" p. 1355, Vol. II, by John W. Jordan, LL.D., "Edward ap Rees, or Rhys, and his family came to Pennsylvania in the ship "LYON", John Compton, master, with Dr. Edward Jones of Kiltalgarth, Penllyn in Merionethshire in August, 1682, and settled in Merion, Philadelphia County. He was the son of Richard Rhys (ap Grywwth) of Tyddin Tyford, in Merioneth, whose will signed 26 January 1685, was proved at the St. Asaph Registry, and brother to Jane, the wife of Cadwalader Morgan, and to Hannah, wife of Rees John Williams, all first settlers of Merion. (Also p. 79 "Welsh Settlement of Pa." by Browning.)
From Historic Sumner County, Tennessee, by Jay Guy Cisco, 1909
Moses Bowen and his wife, Rebecca Reece Bowen, emigrated from Wales to the American colonies in 1698 and settled in Chester County, Pennsylvania. John Bowen, their son, married Lily McIlhaney and in 1730 moved to Virginia. They had twelve children, one of whom, Captain John Bowen, was the father of Captain William Bowen, who was the first to emigrate to Tennessee.
Captain William Bowen was born in Fincastle County, Virginia, then Augusta County, in 1742. He was a very active, enterprising man, and by the time he was 35 years of age he had accumulated quite a handsome estate for that day by adding to the portion given to him by his mother. He took part in the several campaigns against the French and Indians as a member of the Colonial Army of Virginia before the Revolution of 1776. He was a First Lieutenant in Captain William Russell's company in the campaign against the Shawnee and other Indian tribes in 1774, the confederation being commanded by "Cornstalk" a noted chief of the Shawnees. He was in the hotly contested battle of Point Pleasant on October 10, 1774. He was also with Captain Russell while that officer was in command of Fort Randolph, when that garrison was ordered to be disbanded by Lord Dunmore on July 1775, fearing the fort might be held by rebel authorities. Prior to this date he was with Russell's Rangers when they assisted in relieving the besieged fort at Watauga.
Captain Bowen was principally engaged in the partisan warfare on the border of Virginia and Tennessee during the Revolution. He was in the cavalry service, employed in scouting and protecting the frontiers from the inroads of the British, Indians and Tories. At the termination of the long struggle for independence, he with fifteen other soldiers of the Continental army, traveled all through Kentucky and the Cumberland county, as Middle Tennessee was then called, prospecting warrants, which had been received for services I the war of independence. Captain Bowen was so pleased with the country that he located some of his land in what in now Smith County, Tennessee, but the larger portion in Sumner County, Tennessee, about twelve miles from Nashville. He moved his family from Virginia in the early autumn of 1784 to Sumner County, where he built a double log house in which he lived for two years: then built a two-story brick, which is still standing near Goodlettsville and in good preservation. Though it was built in 1787, when what is now Tennessee was part of North Carolina. It is said to have been the first brick house built in Tennessee. General Daniel Smith, his fried and fellow soldier built a stone house, known as "Rock Castle," in the same vicinity. The two sent to Lexington, KY., for stone and brick masons to erect the two houses.
Captain William Bowen, in 1777 married Mary Henley Russell, daughter of General William Russell and his wife, Tabitha Adams, in Augusta County, Virginia, now Washington County, near where Abingdon now stands. He died in Sumner County on December 15, 1804. He left eight children. Tabitha married Colonel Armstead Moore of Virginia. They moved to Smith County, Tennessee, where they died, leaving eleven children.
Colonel John Bowen, son of Captain William Bowen, was born in Virginia in 1780; came with his parents to Sumner County in 1784. At the age of 16 years he was sent to Lexington, Ky., to school. About the year 1800 he commenced the study of law in the office of John Breckinridge in Lexington. After two years he returned home and began practice of law in Gallatin and soon rose to prominence.
In 1813 Mr. Bowen was elected to Congress as a Democrat and served one term, at the expiration of which he returned to the practice of his profession at Gallatin. In 1815 he married Elizabeth Allen, daughter of Grant Allen and his wife, Tabitha Marshall, of Dixon Springs neighborhood. They had four children; two died in youth and two reared large families. The eldest, Mary, married Judge Jacob S. Yerger of Greenville, Miss. a member of the famous Yerger family formerly of Lebanon. They had three sons killed in the Confederate army. William G. Yerger, a prominent lawyer of Greenville, is the only living son. Henry Yerger, another son, died at his home near Greenville, leaving a family. Grant Allen Bowen, son of John H. married Amanda Yerger. They left two children John H. Jr., and Mary.
Colonel John H. Bowen died on September 25, 1822. He was an accomplished scholar, a just and upright man, a great lawyer, a pure statesman and a true friend. The brick house which he erected for his home in Gallatin is still standing. It was bought after his death by Governor William Trousdale, and from him it passed to his son, the Hon. Julius A. Trousdale, and after his death was presented by his widow, Mrs. Anne Berry Trousdale, to the Daughters of the Confederacy.
Levisee Bowen, daughter of Captain William Bowen, married Colonel James Saunders. They had their home in Wilson County, where six children survived them.
William, son of Captain William Bowen, married Mary Rankin, and after her death, Polly McCall. They removed to LaGrange, Texas, where they died, leaving seven children.
Samuel, son of Captain William Bowen, married Amanda Stone. They removed to Missouri, where they died, leaving seven children.
Mary Bowen died young. Celia married Rev. Barton W. Stone, a noted divine, and one of the founders of the "Campbellite Church." They lived in Kentucky and Missouri; left six children.
Catherine Bowen, third daughter of Captain William Bowen, was born in Sumner County in March 1785. She was married in 1807 to David Campbell, who was born in Washington County, Virginia, on March 4, 1781 and died near Leeville, Wilson County, Tennessee on June 18, 1841. She died at "Campbell" the home of her eldest son, Governor William B. Campbell, March 7, 1868. They lived in Sumner County for some years after their marriage, then moved to Carthage, Smith County. They had six children- William B. Campbell, who married Frances Owen and left seven children; John H. died unmarried; Mary R. H. married E.P. Scales; Margaret died unmarried; Virginia T. I. married Rev. William Shelton; David H. R. married Lucy Goodall. | BOWEN, Moses (I3996)

"Among those to meet death at the hands of Indians was John Armstrong, a trader, and two of his companions, James Smith and Woodward Arnold, early in April 1744."
"In 1744, Murhancellin, an Indian chief, murdered John Armstrong and his two men on Juniata, and was apprehended by Captain Jack's party, but released after a confinement of several months in Lancaster prison."

"Biographical Appendix to the History of Robertson County"
John H. Dunn was born July 7, 1832, in Robertson County, being one of SEVEN children born to the marriage of Azariah Dunn and Mary Crawford. The father was of Scotch-Irish descent, and was born in Robertson County, on Christmas day, 1805. He never knew a mother's care, as she died when he was but eleven days old. He followed the life of a trader when in his young manhood, but afterward commenced farming, which he continued all his life. He was summoned by death's inevitable call October 26, 1867. The mother of our subject is also of Scotch-Irish descent. She was born in Rockingham County, N. C., January 16, 1811, and at the age of nine years was brought to this county where she now lives, at the ripe old age of seventy-five, although she is hale and strong and enjoying good health. In 1852 John H. began farming on rented land, and in 1854 he bought 100 acres where he now lives and is engaged in the pursuit of farming. He has been justly successful, and now owns 1,800 acres of land. He has been one of the most successful farmers of Robertson County, and has the good will and respect of all who know him. He is a member of the Democratic party and of the Methodist Episcopal Church South.

"I believe there were three Dinning brothers who came to Orange Co., North Carolina, from Londonderry Co., Ireland, in the 1750s to the early 1760s. Those three brothers were Andrew, David and James. I believe that before they lived in Ireland that they may have lived in Lanark Co., Scotland."

We believe the basis for the DINNINGs coming from Derry Co., Ireland comes from the Revolutionary War Pension Application of David DINNING, Jr., son of David DINNING Sr.

p. 104. " A man, by the name of John Cornelison, who lived near the gold and silver mines in Davidson County, was killed in his own house, and in a manner which indicated great barbarity. When several of them went in and fell upon him with clubs and swords, he got back under the mantlepiece, when they shot him down, and he fell into the fire; but his wife pulled him out. Next morning, Mrs Ann Briggs, the mother-in-law of Jacob Goss, Esq. who was originally a Miss Collins, from the neighborhood of Wilmington, went over and saw the body of Cornelison. The hearth was deluged with blood, and the house presented a most frightful scene. The man who shot Cornelison was known, and Cornelison had a relation by the name of Spirey, who was determined to revenge his death. He pursued the Tory who shot Cornelison, and followed his trail into Tennessee. At length he reached the house of a woman who was a relation of his; and thinking himself out of danger, he stopped there for the night; but Spirey was there and, with the stealthiness of an Indian, was watching the house, when he heard the murderer tell his relation, the mistress of the house, that he would pull off his clothes to sleep; for he had not had them off since leaving North Carolina. While he was stripping and preparing for bed; Spirey, being certain of his man, run the muzzle of his gun through a crack or opening between the logs, and shot him dead. Spirey then returned to his home in North Carolina; and this affair was the last of the kind that occured during the struggle for independence. Such scenes present to us the horror of civil war in a strong light, and while they were the price of our liberties, they should serve as a perpetual warning to guard, most vigilantly and strenuously, against everything of the kind to the end of time."

"The following information was supplied by Charles C. Rushing and appears in the "Rushing Past" newsletter, II(1), March 1980. "Let's start with the Isle of Wight County, Virginia. 'Early Eighteenth Century Palatine Emigration' by Knittle (on Page 252) states that on the 2nd sailing from Holland to England then to Virginia, there was listed 23 May 1709 Mathys Riesin (German for Rushing) and Vrow (wife) and three children. Then on page 262 Mattys Russin -- they were of Protestant faith and could not worship as Protestants in Germany. In 'Seventeenth Century Isle of Wight Co. Virginia' by John Bennet Boddie, it states that Mattys Russian sold 150 acres to Wm Bridger in 1714. The Russians (Rushings) were living in an area overrun by Louis XIV of France and had escaped to Holland. There they were helped by Queen Anne of England who promised to take them to Virginia to settle there. In 'Lost Virginia Records' by Louis Des Cognets on Page 88, Mathew Rushin applied for 475 acres with a partner Edward Goodson. Russin sold his (or a part) to Wm. Bridger as stated above. This deed was dated 10 April 1707 (a little variation in the dates from the 'Palatine Migration' book). Mathys Rushin had to live on it for a period to get title; on 16 June 1714 he got title (page 190 of 'Lost Virginia Records'). Here is synopsis: 1707 Mathew Rushin applied for 475 acres; 1714 he received Patent." But this is only one theory about Rushing family origins. I am presenting it because it is a theory which at least presents documentary evidence. However, there are several other legends and theories on the origin of the family, the most widespread being that the family is Welsh. There is evidence for a James Rushing in New Kent County, Virginia, in 1667, and for a Mathew Rushing in Charles City County, Virginia, before 1670. The Rushings who settled in southern illinois, western Kentucky, and Tennessee came from Anson County, North Carolina. The Rushings in Anson County, North Carolina, seem to be very closely related, but working out the relationships between them is extremely difficult, particularly because there are so many William Rushings. I propose the following hypothesis. The Anson County Rushings seem to be descended from two near contemporary William Rushings. (A contemporary John Rushing lived near Thompson's Creek in the Chesterfield District of South Carolina.) To attempt to clarify the relationships I plotted probable locations of Rushing land grants and deeds. When this is done the Rushings fall into two subgoups. One group lived on Browns Creek near the present community of White Store, near Black Jack Creek. This group is associated with the elder and younger Joseph Whites in land grant and deed records. This group includes two Williams, Richard, Phillip, Soloman, and a John. The other group is found 5-10 miles farther south on Thompson's Creek, on the headwaters of Browns Creek, and on Little Browns Creek. This group includes two or more Williams, two or more Johns, a Mathew, Robert, Noah, and Abraham. They are associated in land grant and deed records with Benjamin Jackson and John Jackson. The breakdown is not exactly this simple, however, and some adjustments have to be made. Except for living near the southern Rushing group, Abraham is most closely tied to Richard, Solomon, and others in the northern group.
"He married Elizabeth. Died, circa 1745. According to Virgil W. Huntley of Mystic Connecticut, who has studied deed records for the Rushing family in North Carolina, "Mathew Rushing, father of William, had a wife, Elizabeth, as she acknowledges the sale of land to William Bridges or Bridgers on 15 July, 1718. "Widow Elizabeth Rushing is said to have maried either Edwin or Edward Goodson as her 2nd husband. Elizabeth is said to have died about 1743 to 1747 leaving property to Goodson. A most dramatic will said to be filed by Goodson. Where is it?" [Letter to David Donahue, July 19, 1992]
"Virgil W. Huntly also estimates that Mathew's son William had to have been born circa 1710 or earlier because he purchased his father's property in 1730. Neither of the William Rushings on Brown's Creek seem to be old enough to be the William, son of Mathew. Either or both might be grandsons."

"This William Rushing seems to have lived on Brown's Creek near Black Jack Branch, near the present community of White Store in Anson County. This William Rushing may have been the one who received land grant No. 6531 dated 19 April 1763 for 150 acres on both sides of Deep Creek--including his own improvement. He is mentioned in land grant No. 3092 dated 18 April 1771 to Josiah Herndon, Jr., for 200 Acres in Anson County on Black Jack Branch of Brown's Creek, joining William Rushing. Given the frequency of the name William and the absence of the name Mathew among descendants, the most likely name for a father of this William Rushing would be William."
"One William Rushing, the father of "Flint River Jack" Rushing, is said to have immigrated from the Isle of Wight County, Virginia, to Welsh Neck, Cheraw, South Carolina. This William is the most likely to have been father of Flint River Jack, but it seems unlikely that he lived in the Welsh Neck or even the Welsh Tract. However, this William owned land on Thompson's Creek and may have lived in what is now Chesterfield County, South Carolina. Most of his descendants seem to have lived in Anson County and are associated with the other Rushing group living there. This William Rushing seems to have been the one who received land grant No. 495 dated 13 October 1756, on Thompson's Creek. He is listed as William Ruskin. This William Rushing also received land grant No. 947 dated 26 May 1757 for 400 acres in Anson County of the S.W. side of Pee Dee river, joining the E. side of the N. fork of Thompson's Creek and crossing the creek twice. Most likely name for the father of this William Rushing would be John Rushing."

Are these two Williams the same man? If not, our Richard is probably the son of the William in the second paragraph and not a grandson of Matthys. In that case, Richard's mother was named Mary ??? and he had brothers John Robert, Mark, William, Noah, Rowland, and two sisters - names unknown, one may be Sarah. | RUSHING, William (I10307)
