Uncle Fred,
 
I've been sorting through the info you sent on the Hallmarks and Easons.  I somehow have gotten
several duplicate records.  Apparently when it merges, it doesn't really merge, it just adds.  Anyway,
got a lot of good dates and places.  I have info on Archibald McCaleb when he was in Roane
County Tenn.  Seems like he was one of the founding fathers of that county.  Anyway, this is what I
picked up out of Roane County records.
 
White settlement in Roane County followed the establishment of  Campbell's Station on the west
bank of Turkey Creek in present Knox  County. Lying some fifteen miles west of White's Fort, and
near the  present boundary of Knox County, the new station was begun March 7, 1787, by Colonel
David Campbell, who had played an important part in the  history of Washington County, Virginia
and could account for the heavy migration of many of the families from Washington County, Virginia
to  Roane County, Tennessee. Archibald McCaleb also played an important part  along with David
Campbell in the early settlement of Roane County. Other  settlers soon acquired tracts of land in the
vicinity of Campbell's Station. A grant to Josiah Leach in 1786 for 640 acres is mentioned in a  grant
from the State of North Carolina to Archibald McCaleb, September 20, 1787. The population at
Campbell's Station was increased by David  Campbell, Alexander Campbell, Jonathan Douglas,
John Kirk, James Campbell, and Robert Blackburn with their families by 1788. The territory was
yet under the control of North Carolina, and within the  bounds of Greene County. Twelve years
after the founding of Campbell's  Station, two of its pioneers, Archibald McCaleb and James
Campbell, were  among those petitioning for the creation of a county that was eventually called
Roane County. On September 25, 1788, a new road from Campbell's Station to Nashville,  passing
through what is now Roane County, was opened for travel. This same road passed the home of
Carlisle Vaught Duff, now in 1978, the home of Zella Monger, a grand daughter. The continued
advance of the white man was resisted by the Indian, and a military force was required for the
protection of the white settlers and travelers. In 1792, action was taken to erect a fort at the
confluence of the Tennessee and Clinch Rivers, and on November 30, 1792.  General John Sevier
reported to William Blount, Governor of the Territory of the United States of America South of the
Ohio River, that  the fortifications at South West Point had been completed......... New lands were
acquired by the Hiwassee Purchase, February 27, 1819,  from which McMinn and Monroe
Counties were created. On November 13, 1819, the legislature established that the boundary lines
of Roane County should begin "at a point on the south side of Tennessee River,  opposite the mouth
of Whites Creek, then south forty five degrees east  ten miles, than a direct line, to the a chain of
ridges four miles south  of Browder's ferry on the Big Tennessee River." The county filled rapidly
with settlers. The tax lists discloses that  the number of free white polls (males between the ages of
21 and 50)  rose from 275 in 1802, to 560 in 1805. Following the creation of Rhea and Bledsoe
Counties, Roane County had a population of 5,581 in 1810. In 1820 the total population of Roane
was 7,895, which included 7,025  whites, 56 free colored, and 814 slaves. By 1830 the population
of Roane County had grown to 11,341."

that Archibald and Capt. William McCaleb [of S.C. and Miss.] may have been brothers. No proof.

Hi, Fred

        I don't have the documentation before me at the moment, but I think
that you might have something just a little confused in your message
above.  What I am referring to is Craven County NC and Craven County SC.

        Before there was a division between North and South Carolina, the area
was just known as Carolina.  It became divided into three counties:
Albemarle, Clarendon, and Craven.   Albemarle was that area from about
the Virginia/Carolina line to some point north of the present
Wilmington, N.C. area.  Clarendon covered that area around present day
Wilmington around the mouth of the Charles River, sometimes known as the
Clarendon River and now called Cape Fear River.  Craven County covered
that portion of Carolina south of Clarendon and to the northern boundry
with Florida at the St. Mathias (St.Mary's) River.  These three original
counties were established about 1664.  Clarendon was only in existance
for about 4 or 5 years before it was discontinued.

        There is today in SC a Clarendon County but in no way is it connected
to the old Clarendon County.  As you state above, there is no longer a
Craven County, S.C.   There is a present day Craven County, N.C., but it
never had any connection with the Craven County that did exist in SC.

        There is a large book written by William S. Powell, the same gentleman
who wrote The North Carolina Gazetteer, in most large libraries, about
the history of N.C.  I do not recall the exact title.  This book has the
information about the Three Original Counties.  The NC Gazetteer also
mentions these counties.  This is something that I never heard of in
school but it is there and part of our history.

        If, as I suspect, the deed to which you refer was before 1700 and
simply stated Craven County and Pee Dee River, the location could be
anywhere along the Lumber/Pee Dee River system but the records could be
in either Old Craven or in old archives that I understand are located in
Charleston, S.C.

        Good luck in your search.

CENSUS TAKER

 It was the first day of census, and all through the land;
 The pollster was ready ... a black book in hand.
 He mounted his horse for a long dusty ride;
 His book and some quills were tucked close by his side.
 A long winding ride down a road barely there;
 Toward the smell of fresh bread wafting, up through the air.
 The woman was tired, with lines on her face;
 And wisps of brown hair she tucked back into place.
 She gave him some water ... as they sat at the table;
 And she answered his questions ... the best she was able.
 He asked of her children... Yes, she had quite a few;
 The oldest was twenty, the youngest not two.
 She held up a toddler with cheeks round and red;
 his sister, she whispered, was napping in bed.
 She noted each person who lived there with pride;
 And she felt the faint stirrings of the wee one inside.
 He noted the sex, the color, the age...
 The marks from the quill soon filled up the page.
 At the number of children, she nodded her head;
 And saw her lips quiver for the three that were dead.
 The places of birth she "never forgot";
 Was it Kansas? or Utah? or Oregon ... or not?
 They came from Scotland, of that she was clear;
 But she wasn't quite sure just how long they'd been here.
 They spoke of employment, of schooling and such;
 They could read some .and write some .. though really not much.
 When the questions were answered, his job there was done;
 So he mounted his horse and he rode toward the sun.
 We can almost imagine his voice loud and clear;
 "May God bless you all for another ten years."
 Now picture a time warp ... its' now you and me;
 As we search for the people on our family tree.
 We squint at the census and scroll down so slow;
 As we search for that entry from long, long ago.
 Could they only imagine on that long ago day;
 That the entries they made would effect us this way?
 If they knew, would they wonder at the yearning we feel;
 And the searching that makes them so increasingly real.
 We can hear if we listen the words they impart;
 Through their blood in our veins and their voice in our heart.

CRIM family of Stokes/Forsyth

        Posted by Vickie Davis <vcdavis@netunlimited.net> on Sat, 14 Nov 1998

    Surnames: CRIM, LINVILLE, HOLBROOK, COOK, McKILLIP, CALHOUN, FULP,
                               HAUSER, SAPP

I am researching the CRIM family of Stokes/Forsyth County
and I would like to exchange information with anyone
who has ties with this family....
Jacob Crim and his wife Mary (Button)Crim came to the
Belews Creek area of Stokes(now Forsyth) County in 1799 from
Culpeper Co., Virginia.
They had several sons and daughters who married here and then moved on to Indiana.
Some of the families they married into include, the Linvilles, the Holbrooks, the Cooks and the
McKillips.
Some of their grandchildren married into the Calhoun , the
Fulp, the Hauser, and the Sapp families.

Researching David MacKillop and Margaret Drummond married
June 23, 1694 in Kincardine Parish, Perthshire, Scotland. They
had at least three daughters: Janot, Margaret, and Katrin - born br>between 1698 and 1707. They moved to Londonderry, Ireland.
They emigrated to New Hampshire area of Londonderry and
Salem. David and Margaret may be buried in Salem, NH.
David II, son of David and Margaret, was born on the ocean.
There is no proof of this as his birth was recorded at Chester,
NH as 1709. It is assumed that the McKillop family went from
near Castle Stirling, Scotland to protestant Ireland (counties of
Antrim and Londonderry) long before any members of the
family came to America.
With all the variations in spelling, this is definitely a family web.
Looking for connections to Scotland ancestry.
