Some notes on Philmer Clarke of Warwick & York County, Virginia

LT. PHILMER2 CLARKE (JAMES1)1 was born Bet. 1775 - 17842,3, and died Bef. June 18344. He married (1) NANCY5. She was born Bet. 1785 - 17946, and died Bet. 1820 - July 18247,8. He married (2) LAVINA LEE8 Abt. July 31, 1824 in York County, Virginia8, daughter of MAJ. JOHN LEE. She died Aft. June 18349.

Notes for LT. PHILMER CLARKE:
Philmer served as a Lieutenant in Captain James Hubberd's company of the 68th Regiment Virginia Militia during the War of 1812. He was most active during the year 1814.

Philmer lived in Warwick County, Virginia before moving to York County. He owned four slaves in 1810 and six in 1820. He also had two young free blacks living with him in 1820. As a note, someone in the household that year was in manufacturing.

Philmer may have been the son of a James Clarke that served in the Revolutionary War. However his direct relationship is not stated in the following document:

York County, Virginia Order Book #12, p. 315:
"At York County Court 16 June 1834 - On the motion of Ann Thomas Ordered that it be certified That it appears to the Court from satisfactory evidence adduced that James Clarke who is reputed to have been in the War of the Revolution, died Intestate in the County of York leaving as his only heirs at Law Ann Clarke and Philmer Clarke - That Ann Clarke has since the death of the said James Clarke intermarried with a man by the name of Thomas Tommas - That Philmer Clarke is dead leaving as his Heirs John Clarke, Thomas Clarke and Clarentine Clarke who has since intermarried with Edward Hogg and Robert Clarke an Infant and that the said Philmer has also left a widow Lavenia who is now living."

Notes for THOMAS T. CLARKE:
According to the 1850 census, Thomas and his family were living in York County, Virginia. He worked as a shoemaker and apparently had quite a business, seeing as though three additional shoemakers were living with him at that time. It is quite possible that Thomas was a master and they his apprentices.

Occupation: shoemaker24

Notes for GEORGIANNA:
Georgianna is a hard person to pin down. She and Thomas Clarke apparently divorced around 1845. I do not know what happened to her in 1850, but Georgianna was living with Somersett Moore in Williamsburg, Virginia by 1860. She owned $900 worth of real estate at that time but I am not sure where. To make matters more complicated, Somersett Moore eventually married the second wife of Georgianna's former husband!

I do not know what became of Georgianna after 1860. It appears that she and her children were not very close, opting to live with their father, and at times, Mr. Moore, instead of Georgianna.

Notes for CLARENTINE CLARKE:
After the death of her father, Edward Hogg became Clarentine's legal guardian. I am not sure if this is the same Edward Hogg she later married. After the death of her husband, Clarentine lived in the Grafton township of York County, Virginia.

Isle of Wight Headstone Mystery - Pvt. Jesse Barlow of the Revolutionary War

There is an article in the Richmond Times-Dispatch today titled "Isle of Wight headstone is a mystery." It was written by Allison T. Williams of the Daily Press and, I assume, reprinted with her permission. The article can be found on page B3.

Apparently a tombstone for Jesse Barlow, a private in the Virginia Militia during the Revolutionary War, just appeared in St. Luke's Cemetery in Smithfield of Isle of Wight County. Someone "secretly" placed the stone in the cemetery in early January 2009. The funny thing is that no one has any legitimate record of Jesse being buried in that cemetery. The Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) also show a different death date for Jesse in their records than what is on the tombstone.

The stone itself is of the Veteran's Administration variety. I ordered one once for a relative of mine and had the stone sent to my house. A big truck showed up and dropped it in my front yard ditch. The stone weighed a few hundred pounds and that was as far as they would take it. My point is that anyone can get a stone, for any veteran, with some minimal proof and any mailing address. The answer to the mystery lies with the VA, someone would just have to take the time to hound them for the answer.

The cemetery seems somewhat upset about the placement and wants the responsible party to contact them. They at least need to resolve the legitimacy of Jesse's burial at the cemetery. I do not know of any trouble that the person could really get into for doing this. The cemetery may have covenants for monument placement, such as the proper method of pouring a footer for the stone, but I do not see where any laws were broken.

If you know who placed the stone, get them to call the cemetery and work it out. Everyone has good intentions here and we all want to see the right thing done in the end. It is a historical cemetery and needs to preserve its integrity.

A Bunch of Phillips and/or Philips Obituaries, Part I

These are a bunch of obituaries for the Philips family, mostly of central Virginia, namely Hanover, Henrico and the city of Richmond. They were part of a research project I did several years ago so I might as well post them here. They are in no particular order. There may also be some associated notes for different people. If you are interested in anyone here, let me know as I probably have a lot on them.

Richmond Dispatch, July 4, 1889:
"PHILLIPS - Died, on Wednesday, July 3, 1889, at 12:15 A.M., at the residence of her husband, Mrs. ALICE G., daughter of Miles T. Phillips, Esq., and beloved wife of Oscar E. Phillips, in the forty-first year of her age. She leaves a husband and four children to mourn their loss.
Blessed are those who die in the Lord. Funeral will take place from Pine-Street Baptist church TO-DAY, July 4th, at 11 A.M."

Alice died from neurasthenia, a neurotic condition accompanied by exhaustion, depression, inattentiveness, loss of appetite, insomnia and gastrointestinal problems.

Richmond Dispatch, July 27, 1898:
"PHILLIPS - Died, Tuesday morning, July 26, 1898, MILES T. PHILLIPS, in the 75th year of his age. Funeral from Seventh-Street Christian church THURSDAY AFTERNOON at 5[?] o'clock. Boston and Arlington (N. J.) papers please copy."

There is a bronze marker at the head of Miles' grave that reads as follows:
"Miles Turpin Phillips - 1st First Vice President of the Virginia Society Sons of the American Revolution Son of Mourning Phillips of the 2nd Virginia Regiment Continental Line."

Miles is buried in section 10, lot 19 of Hollywood Cemetery.

Richmond Times-Dispatch, May 13, 1909:

Mabel is buried in section 10, lot 19 of Hollywood Cemetery. I believe that Mabel was an inmate of Western State Hospital in 1920. This facility, located in the Staunton/Augusta County area, was a mental hospital.

Book Review: "Rockbridge County Virginia Marriages 1778-1850" with Last Name Index M-Z

The following is a summary of the last name index, M-Z, of "Rockbridge County Virginia Marriages 1778-1850" by Dorthie and Edwin Kirkpatrick, 443 pages, index, figures, map. Rockbridge County's creation in 1778 from portions of Augusta and Botetourt counties was part of a flurry of new county organizations and older county subdivisions during the Revolutionary period. Despite the war, the frontier was moving inexorably westward, and the new county of Rockbridge represented an area now more densely settled and requiring its own polity. A total of 4,785 marriages have been extracted directly from courthouse records as well as from newspaper and other published sources; these references include parents' name, bondsmen, ministers' names and their denominations. This is a soft cover reprint of a 1985 original, printed by New Papyrus Co. of Athens, Georgia.

Here are two sample entries from the book:

Rockbridge County Virginia Marriages 1778-1850

Book Review: "Rockbridge County Virginia Marriages 1778-1850" with Last Name Index A-L

The following is a summary of the last name index, A-L, of "Rockbridge County Virginia Marriages 1778-1850" by Dorthie and Edwin Kirkpatrick, 443 pages, index, figures, map. Rockbridge County's creation in 1778 from portions of Augusta and Botetourt counties was part of a flurry of new county organizations and older county subdivisions during the Revolutionary period. Despite the war, the frontier was moving inexorably westward, and the new county of Rockbridge represented an area now more densely settled and requiring its own polity. A total of 4,785 marriages have been extracted directly from courthouse records as well as from newspaper and other published sources; these references include parents' name, bondsmen, ministers' names and their denominations. This is a soft cover reprint of a 1985 original, printed by New Papyrus Co. of Athens, Georgia.

Book Review: "Shenandoah County Virginia Marriage Bonds 1772-1850" with Last Name Index Q-Z

The following is a summary of the last name index, Q-Z, of John Vogt and T. William Kethley, Jr.'s "Shenandoah County Virginia Marriage Bonds 1772-1850."

In 1831, a portion was cut off to form part of Page County and, in 1836, another portion was taken to form part of Warren County.

This book includes 6,892 marriage bonds which have been transcribed from the county register in the Virginia State Library, Archives Division. The book has a full index of brides and grooms and contains 417 pages plus a pull out map of Virginia. Entries show both bride and groom's names, marriage bond date and sometimes witnesses, consents and other items of interest. This is a soft cover reprint of a 1984 original, printed by New Papyrus Co. of Athens, Georgia.

Shenandoah County: Virginia Marriage Bonds 1772-1850

Book Review: "Shenandoah County Virginia Marriage Bonds 1772-1850" with Last Name Index A-H

The following is a summary of the last name index, A-H, of John Vogt and T. William Kethley, Jr.'s "Shenandoah County Virginia Marriage Bonds 1772-1850." Shenandoah County, first called Dunmore County, was formed from a portion of Frederick County in 1772. During the Revolutionary War, the name was changed to Shenandoah. In 1831, a portion was cut off to form part of Page County and, in 1836, another portion was taken to form part of Warren County.

This book includes 6,892 marriage bonds which have been transcribed from the county register in the Virginia State Library, Archives Division. The book has a full index of brides and grooms and contains 417 pages plus a pull out map of Virginia. Entries show both bride and groom's names, marriage bond date and sometimes witnesses, consents and other items of interest. This is a soft cover reprint of a 1984 original, printed by New Papyrus Co. of Athens, Georgia.

Shenandoah County: Virginia Marriage Bonds 1772-1850

Book Review: "Bruton Parish Virginia Register 1662-1797" with Last Name Index N-Z

The following is a summary of the last name index, N-Z, of the "Bruton Parish Virginia Register 1662-1797", transcribed & edited by John Vogt, 2004, 8x10, xiv, 119 pages with index, perfect-bound, paperback, printed on acid-free stock by New Papyrus Publishing of Athens, Georgia, ISBN 974-9929-0-97.

The parish register which survives covers the years 1662, twelve years before the formation of Bruton Parish (these records are those of the earlier Middleton Parish) up past the American Revolution to the mid 1790s. It records life events for both the great men of society as well as artisans, children, servants, slaves, bastard children, and reflects a cross-section of the Williamsburg community during its heyday when it served as the capital of the colony. More than 3,400 entries list either births, baptisms, deaths, or burials. There are no marriage records.

The editor has provided a meticulous transcription of the register, using his training in colonial paleography to correct many of the previous mis-readings. A full index is included as well as an extensive introduction. This will provide valuable information for most people with family in the York, James City, Williamsburg area during the eighteenth century.

If you would like to purchase a copy of this book, let me know. FYI, the book you would get contains all letters A-Z but I broke them up here into two posts so they would not look so long.

Here are two sample entries from the book:

• "Robert son of Robert Carter Nicholas & Anne His Wife Was Born June 26, 1768"
• "1748 Mary Daughter of Doct. Kenneth McKinzie and Joanna his Wife Was Born the 14th April ye 4 o'clock in the morning and was baptized ye 17th of the same month."

John Pettis of Spotsylvania County, Virginia Revolutionary War pension

Taken from Revolutionary War pension file:

John Pettis was born about 1754 in Spotsylvania County, Virginia. He was married to Martha “Patsy” Reynolds by Parson Waugh in the spring of 1782, Port Royal, Caroline County, Virginia. He lived variably between Spotsylvania, Caroline and Orange Counties and died in Spotsylvania on July 1, 1833.

John had a sister named Catherine Pettis, born about 1771, living in Caroline County in October 1841. John and Martha had a son, Spencer Pettis, who served as a Congressman from Missouri and was killed in a duel with Major Thomas Biddle.

Martha was born about 1757 and lived in Spotsylvania County before moving to Orange in April 1840. She apparently never remarried and died after August 1848, probably before 1854. Her father lived in Caroline County during the 1790s and taught school.

John was drafted into the Virginia Militia in 1779 under Captain Philip Johnson. He served in Williamsburg and enlisted in the First Regiment, Virginia Line in 1780, serving under Colonel Samuel Hawes, Captain Francis Cowherd and General Nathanael Greene. John marched through North Carolina, fighting at the battles of Guilford Courthouse and Eutaw Springs. He was discharged in Salisbury, North Carolina in January 1782.

John received a $24 pension during his lifetime and his wife continued to draw it for some time. In the 1830s, she applied for a widow’s pension but had difficulty proving her marriage because Caroline County’s records were lost during a fire. Martha eventually received $73.33 per year, starting shortly before she died.
