To Ann Davis: Re: "Striblings of Walnut Hill" by Bruce Hodgson Stribling 1979.
Chapter 1 EARLY STRIBLING HISTORY
First Striblings in America
Page 4: "The will of a William Stribling was filed in Newberry District, S. C., Feb. 16, 1816. In this will be (sic) mentions that he was living on land purchased from Joe Mangrum and Thomas Eastlend near the fork of Little River and Saluda River in the lower corner of Newberry County. He mentions his two wives: (1) Catherine and (2)Mary Taylor, who was the daughter of Benjamin and Elizabeth Taylor of Newberry County. The names of his nine children were Betsy, Thomas, Nancy, William, Frances, John Taliaferro, Sarah and Audrey. These names coincide so closely with those of the Thomas Stribling Family to suggest that this William was a nephew or a close kinsman. And the date of his death, 1818, differed only one year from that of Thomas Stribling, Jr., which suggests that they were from the same generation.
A Stribling graveyard is located near Benjamin Taylor's graveyard in lower Newberry County. 'William Stribling was the owner of original grants there. The site shows remains of the old house, with a graveyard about 200 yards to the left, but no markers other than small rough stones or rocks with no inscriptions--except one which shows "J. E. 1778." The 1790 U.S. Census of Newberry District, S.C., lists William Stribling as the head of a family of nine.
A William Stribling was granted 400 acres of land in 1784 as a Sergeant in the Continental Line, who had enlisted for the Revolutionary War and served through it. This is doubtless the same William Stribling who was pensioned in Farquier County in 1818 for his Revolutionary Service. There was a Benjamin Stribling, who, with his wife, Ann Vawters and several children, moved from Fauquier County, Va., to Scott County, Kentucky, about 1795, and who left numerous descendants in Tennessee, Indiana and other western states. This Benjamin and the above mentioned William were evidently brothers and perhaps sons or nephews of the original Thomas."
Ann, does this help at all? Am I on the right track? Please let me know.
