302 "William Albert Bolling was born to Colonel William Bolling. As a Deaf child, he got private tutoring with John Braidwood, grandson of Thomas Braidwood who founded the Braidwood Academy. Private tutoring was at the Bolling Hall, his private home with his Deaf sibling, Mary. The private tutoring lasted from 1812 to 1814 along with his Deaf sibling, Mary. Later, he and Mary enrolled at the public school for the Deaf, Cobb School, on the Cobb Plantation, Goochland County, Virginia in 1815 and closed in 1816. He then enrolled again at Manchester School in Manchester, Virginia circa June 1817 to May 1819 (Braidwood left to become a barkeeper at a tavern nearby, while John Kirkpatrick remained as the instructor. William was then transferred to a new school, Cumberland School at Farmville, Cumberland County, Virginia from 1819 to circa 1821 under the instruction of Reverend John Kirkpatrick, who was ordained as a Reverend at the Cumberland County Courthouse May 1819. According to the Cumberland Church records, the daily school stopped in 1821 signed by Reverend John Kirkpatrick.

304 "William Manning had 2 brothers - Robert James Manning, married to Alexina Watters, and McGruder Manning. 

Robert James Manning was the sheriff in Edenton NC and is buried in Edenton..."

Posted on an Ancestry.COM board. This ties Robert James Manning to Alexina Watters Manning.

--------------------------

A Manning family researcher reports, "The father of Robert James Manning (1868-1935) was NOT Robert James Manning.  Rather it was James H. Manning.  I have no proof of what the "H" stood for, however, it might have been either Haughton or Howett.  Haughton was James' paternal grandmother's maiden name and Howett was his mother's maiden name.  James had a full sister, Frances Howett Manning which makes me lean toward his middle name being Haughton - but this is just pure guesswork. 

James was born on January 24, 1841 in the vicinity of Edenton, Chowan County, North Carolina.  Edenton was the seat of the Manning family since about 1800." 
MANNING, James H. (I9681)
 
305 "William Nash Jr. of England came to America and settled in Virginia where he married a widow lady named Bradford whose maiden name was Mary Morgan. Mr. Nash subsequently removed to Tennessee. His children were Ira, Elizabeth and William. Ira married and settled in St. Charles County, Missouri. (1)

Ira P. Nash, one of the first white men who settled in Boone County, was a medical doctor, an accomplished surveyor and an eccentric. Born in Virginia, he was a graduate of the University of Virginia and came to Missouri from Tennessee. He first came to Boone County in 1804 as surveyor the the Spanish Government, and located his own grant, the only Spanish grant in Boone County, on the banks of the Missouri River where the Bonne Femme Creek empties into it. "The most beautiful spot in all creation" he claimed. He returned to live here some twelve years later. He planted the first apple orchard in Boone County, was a farmer, a livestock dealer, owner of a fine stallion and had an interest in a steamboat. The town of Nashville named for him was laid out on his lands and was an important shipping center until the great overflow of 1844 washed it away.......Dr. Nash was married three times. Before he died in 1844, he requested that he be buried in a standing position on the highest bluff on the Missouri River on his land so he could look down on his farmer neighbors whom he disliked intensely. (2)

I often heard of a man who knew Nash in St. Louis laugh and talk about his being in jail there...... He said that any prisoner could break out of it if he chose. He said that Nash was put in it for not paying a debt, but that he had no difficulty coming out of it whenever he wished to do so. In fact, he said, his being in jail did not interfere with his getting his arrangements perfected to break jail, as he called it whenever he got ready to start up to the Bonne Femme bottom. It was generally known that he intended to go and no one seemed to care. And so when he had all his plans arranged and everything that he wanted to take with him on the keel boat and the time came for the boat to start, he left the jail and took passage upon the Mississippi and Missouri rivers and that was the last they ever saw of him in St. Louis He took care to take along with him a large lot of apple trees, which, I suppose, were the first trees set out in now what is Boone County. He built his house near the bluff. I suppose it was not far from Rutland. His farm reached back into the river bottom, but I understand that the river since washed away all of that bottom, so that now the channel of the river is just where his farm was. If my recollection serves me right it was more than a mile from his farm to the river. It was covered with big cottonwood trees.

I do not know how often he was married. It seems that it was his misfortune in every case when he took a wife to find out in some time the want of congeniality which he considered unbearable and he would apply to the courts or to the legislature to get unmarried, so that he could try it again. I believe there was an exception to this. One of his wives committed suicide by hanging herself with a hank of thread in the loom house, presumably before he had come to the conclusion that she was unfit to remain as his wife. (3)

Old Ira P. Nash was indeed an eccentric genius. He was quite wealthy and it was said did many a generous deed. He was pugnacious and would fight on small provocations. At an early day he was tried in Boone County Circuit Court for fighting a duel. He was fined $100. He was among the first slave owners in Boone County to manumit certain of his slaves. (4)

313 " Samuel L. Millett was a member of Captain Moseley Baker's San Felipe Company at the Battle of San Jacinto, and on May 22, 1838 he received Donation Certificate No. 222 for 640 acres of land for having participated in the battle.

Mr. Millett was born in 1799, in the State of Maine. He arrived in Austin's Colony in April of 1831, and received title to one league of land, in what are now Fayette and Bastrop Counties. When making this application, Mr. Millett stated his Texas arrival date was 1831, yet his gravestone claims it was in 1827 and the Harrisburg Board of Land Commissioners recorded the year as 1834, when issuing his Headright Certificate for one labor of land. The actual date, I'm sure is forever lost in time.

The deed Records of Harris County, show Mr. Millett and his wife,living in Harris County February 13, 1840, when Mr. Millett deeded certain of his slaves to his wife, Mrs. (Clementina) Millett formerly of Washington County.

Mr. Millett moved to Seguin where he died November 4, 1863. He signed his will August 12, 1863. Mrs. Millett and Eugene B. Millett were appointed administrators of his estate January 25, 1864. He is buried in a marked grave in Riverside Cemetery, Seguin, Guadalupe County. Mrs. Clementina Millett was living in Ellsworth County, Kansas, on July 18, 1885, when she applied for a Veteran's Donation Certificate. She died in Fort Worth, February 1, 1903 at the age of ninety-two.

Children of Mr. And Mrs. Millett were Eugene; Alonzo and Leonidas, twin brothers; Mary; Lottie; Allie; Hiram; and Almira Millett. Allie died at the age of sixteen. Leonidas was killed at the Battle of Gains Mill in Virginia while a member of Company D, Fourth Texas Regiment, Confederate Army. 

Miss Jennie Hollamon, writing for the Seguin Enterprise years ago, stated that Mr. Millett, a small quiet man, was a good citizen and lived with his family in a two story concrete house on the present site of the Lutheran Church. A few years later he died with cancer. His home in town was burned in 1867 after the Millets' had moved to their farm seven miles north of town."

316 (He was also known as Ziriakus or Cyriacus)

Came to Virginia with the 1717 colonists. The German Colony of 1717 consisted of twenty German Lutheran families from the Palatinate, Hesse, Alsace, and neighboring areas of Germany. The boat was delayed in England for several weeks when the captain was thrown in jail for debt in London. The journey continued when the captain was finally released but supplies ran low during the long crossing and many of the passengers died. Their original plan had been to land in Pennsylvania but they were driven ashore in Virginia by storms. Due to the long delays in England the passengers were unable to pay the captain for their voyage and in return for Gov. Spotswood's payment of their passage they became his indentured servants at Germanna where the colony of 1714 was established. They gained their freedom after serving eight years for Gov. Spotswood and reestablished themselves in the Robinson River in Orange County in 1725. This region became Culpeper County in 1748 and 1792 became Madison County. Here they receive large patents of land. In 1725, Ziriakus Fleischmann returned to Germany along with Michael Cook to bring a minister for these "High Germans." but the effort was unsuccessful. In 1733, Rev John Caspar Stoever became their regular pastor and in 1740 the Hebron Lutheran Church was built.

2. In about 1670 the English began to settle in the valley of the St. Jones River earlier known as Wolf Creek. On June 21, 1680, The Duke of York chartered St. Jones County, which was carved out of New Amstel/New Castle County and Hoarkill/Sussex County. St. Jones County was transferred to William Penn on August 24, 1682, and became part of Penn's newly chartered Delaware Colony.[1]

Penn ordered a court town to be laid out, and the courthouse was built in 1697. The town of Dover, named after the city of Dover in England's Kent, was finally laid out in 1717, and became the capitol of Delaware in 1777. In 1787 Delaware was first to ratify the U.S. Constitution, and became "the First State." Kent County was a small grain farming region in the 18th Century.
