Hi Bruce
Here's your Penelope in my database:
http://hindskw.com/KennethHinds/716.html
Penny's father was indeed Captain John. John's father was
Henry, whose father was John, whose father was another John
and was the immigrant. Follow the links on my site up the
line to get the information. I am descended from Penny's
brother James Marion, and also from her sister Nancy. You
should also check the Motley genforum for more info. Larry
Motley of the American Motley Family Association used to
post there frequently. He probably knows more about Motleys
than anyone else.
I won't be following the Lynns beyond Edward, as they
aren't my ancestors. On my page for Edward I have a link to
a RootsWeb entry with more info, but I see now that it is
broken. Sorry I can't help you with them.
I'm not positive, but I think the Wake Co families did all
move to KY at pretty much the same time. There were several
other families in addition to the Lynns, Motleys, and
Willoughbys who seem to have lived in the same neighborhood
in Wake Co and all took off for KY. Given the timing, I'd
say they were after the newly-available land. As you
pointed out, these people were all farmers in NC, and seem
to have continued to be so in KY. The Willoughbys may have
arrived before the other families. Anthony Willoughby
received a land grant in Warren Co before 1799, and he and
son John appear on Warren Co tax lists in 1800. I suspect
they came out to settle their new land, and were so pleased
with it they came back and urged the neighbors to come on
out.
Another of my ancestral families, Rigsby, also came from
Wake Co to Allen Co, but they detoured through Pendleton
Dist SC first. They lived there about 8 years, then came to
Allen Co (at the time Warren Co) with several Burton
brothers, including Cuthbert who was a major figure in
early Allen Co. I think the Burtons lived in Orange Co NC
(next to Wake) before moving to SC. The family originated
in Henrico Co VA. Several of the Wake Co families were
originally from VA, so I think they are probably connected
further back.
Can you tell me about the children of Edward Lynn +
Penelope Motley? I know they had Nancy, John, Elizabeth,
and Mary. But there are several other children listed in
the 1820 and 1830 census whom I haven't been able to
identify. Do you know who they are?
