Descendants of Andrew (Col) HAMPTON




Generation No. 1


1. ANDREW (COL)4 HAMPTON (NOAH3, JOHN2, ANDRE1)1 was born Abt. 1725 in Freehold, Monmouth, NJ2, and died October 08, 1805 in Gilbert Town, Rutherford Co, NC3. He married (1) COL ANDREW - NOTES CONTINUED - HAMPTON. He married (2) ANDREW - MORE NOTES #2 HAMPTON. He married (3) KATHERINE ELIZABETH HYDER4,5,6 Abt. 1749 in Virginia7, daughter of HANS HEIDER and KATHERINE CHASTEEN. She was born Bef. 1736 in Philadelphia, Montgomery, PA8, and died 1829 in Rutherford Co, NC.

Notes for ANDREW (COL) HAMPTON:
Colonel Andrew HAMPTON, who signed the TRYON DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE in August 1775, was an early-day patriot, who served in the North Carolina Militia. So far as any record has been found to establish it as a fact, he was not closely related to WADE HAMPTON, also of Revolutionary War fame.

One grandson of Colonel Andrew Hampton, Jonathan Hampton, Jr., in response to a query from Lyman C. Draper, wrote on May 20, 1880 from Rutherford County, North Carolina, "I don't recollect my grandfather's place or time of birth as the record is not at hand now. He came to this county from Lincoln County, North Carolina about 1760. I think he was born in Pennsylvania." In an earlier letter, Jonathan, Jr. had written Draper that his grandfather Jonathan Hampton had left many valuable records, since lost or destroyed by brothers.

To give Andrew Hampton the age of 21 when he first appears in VA land records, he would have needed a birth year of about 1713 (which is the date most often seen and referenced). Granville Andrew was probably born in that 1710-1713 time frame. Anson Andrew (Col. Andrew), was probably born closer to 1725. While we do not know the correct birth date of either Andrew, research and analysis by J. W. Foster gives us a place to expect to find Col. Andrew's birth date. Analysis of the age of marriage and first child's birth (for this period of time) produces a bell curve that points to around 1725 for Col. Andrew Hampton of Anson/Rutherford. source JW Foster

In 1744 Joseph Hampton and two sons came from the eastern shore of Maryland and located on Buck Marsh, near Berryville and dwelt the greater part of the year in a hollow tree. Finally, enclosing a piece of land, they made a crop preparatory to the removal of their families. Source: Book, "Southwest Virginia and Shenadoah Valley." It should be noted that a Joseph Hampton (probably not the same Joseph) is shown as recieving a Grant of "430 acres, surveyed 1735, survey #13 - Fairfax & Jost Hite Land Surveys, Shendoah River, 1734-35, Frederick Co., VA. At this time I do not know anything about this Joseph Hampton or of any relationship to Noah Hampton or my Hampton family. It is interesting that he is from the Eastern Shore of Maryland.

18 Apr 1748, NC, Anson Co. Survey - Andrew Hampton one of sworn chain carriers Granville Grant to Samuel Davis 579 acres N. E, side of Yadkin River supposed to be 30 miles above the Catawba Path joining sd river [from Granville District of N. C. Abstracts of Land Grants 1748-1763 by Margaret Hoffman] Anson County was most westerly county and stretched from SC to VA. [This may of have been about the time Col. Andrew decided to move to the Anson area?]

Traditional and undocumented accounts have Andrew Hampton married to one Catherine Hyder about 1749. She is shown as born in Pennsylvania, before April 25, 1736. Hyder family researchers have the family coming from Germany to America about 1729, entering at Philadelphia, then moving SW.

These dates accommodate the 1751 birth year for son Jonathan, most often shown as the eldest son of the family. Many have questioned why Andrew's oldest son would be named Jonathan. There are many possibilities, one is as follows: .... ancestors changed the spellings in other ways. John Smith thought his name was too common, or he was being confused with another man of the same name, so he changed his name to Jonathan Smythe. Maybe Andrew thought there were enough Johns Hampton around and this would more clearly identify and distinguish his son. He had witnessed the confusion of John Hampton Jr & Sr in Virginia and possibly wanted to avoid this confusion for his son while still honoring and recognizing the family patriarch, John Hampton.

4 Sept 1748 Andrew Hampton shows in the NC Militia Co. Commanded by
Captain Samuel Cobrin (Coburn). "The North Carolina Militia Company of Captain Samuel Corbrin is mentioned in the "State Records of NC", Volume XXII, page 281, as having been active September 4, 1748, the cause of activation may have been the threat of the Spanish Fleet at the mouth of Cape Fear River. Andrew Hampton and the members of the Kuykendall family by names of Peter, James, Abraham and John show up as members of the Cobrin Company. In the Fall issue of Johnson's NC Genealogy Magazine for 1967, an article was submitted by the late Dr. Robert W. Ramsey dealing with the Cobrin Company. Dr. Ramsey's earlier book, "Carolina Cradle" testifies to the excellent knowledge and thorough research his works reflect. On page 1932 of the Johnson NC Genealogy Magazine, the article by Ramsey listed 56 members of Captain Cobrin's Militia that are known to have settled in present-day Lincoln and Gaston Counties, of North Carolina. On the following page 1933, by a map of the area, Ramsey locates the 56 members. Hampton and the Kuykendalls are shown on the branches of Dutchmans Creek, above the Tuckasege Ford of the Catawba River. The article by Ramsey identifies Samuel Cobrin as one of the five sons of James Cobron, a flourishing Indian Trader, in the Susquehand Valley of Pennsylvania in 1724. By 1734, the father James Cobron was in the Cumberland Valley of Pennsylvania and by 1748 he was shown as having died in the northern end of the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. The presence of the Hampton and Kuykendall families VA was shown in the 1730's. Thus, it appears that Samuel Cobrin, Andrew Hampton and the Kuykendalls proably each other before their migrations south led them into NC. Many researchers propose that Mary Hampton was married to Mathew and/or Peter Kuykendall. 1743 in Hardy Co VA (which later became Hampshire Co. WV) one Peter Kuykendall had been designated to lay out a road to Noah Hampton's mill ....., [The old James Coburn was mentioned earlier as a neighbor of Noah Hamptons. Source: Kathryn Weiss - citing notes & research of RW Ramsey]

James Kuykendall was bapt. 10/22/1721 at Kingston, NY, d. in Mecklenburg Co., NC before Jan 1766 when the land in his estate was divided, m. ca 1745 to Sarah Coburn (b. 1729 in Va., d. according to her tombstone in the Bethesda Presbyterian Cemetery in York Co., SC on 7/16/1807, age 78 yrs.) Since Sarah was not born until 1729, it is unlikely James married before 1744 or 45 at the earliest, making James at least 24 years when he married. His oldest child was born about 1745 or 46. It looks to me like Peter, James and John all married about the same time.

The above citation would appear to be the first documentation for the Andrew Hampton that I beleive is Colonel Andrew Hampton, deceased 1805 in Rutherford, NC. Those that subscribe to the "one Colonel Andrew Hampton" theory will cite other documentaiton in other locations, which I believe to be another Andrew Hampton as detailed elsewhere in this family history.

1749 - Is the next documentation of this Andrew Hampton, when he bought 640 acres of land on the lower Pee Dee River in Anson County, North Carolina in the fall of 1749. Anson Co., Deeds Vol. A. Pg 16-17: 26 Sept 1749 James Jones of Craven Co., SC, planter, to ANDREW HAMPTON of Anson Co., Planter, for L500 proc. money 640 A granted to said Jones 22nd May 1741...on S side of PeeDee...Beach Creek...

Andrew Hampton (seal) Wit: M. Brown, John Hamer, Jacob Fortenburg

This appears to be Col. Andrew's first known land purchase - 1749. He sold that same land in the fall of 1751. We are not sure of the reason for the quick turn around. Maybe he didn't like the Pee Dee location, maybe he got an offer he couldn't refuse, maybe the site didn't work as a Mill site. My speculation is, that after spending time working and apprenticing with Noah Hampton in VA (his father or uncle as the case may prove to be) in Noah's mill, Andrew set off with his new bride (Katherine Hider/Hyder] to find land and build his own mill in NC. Both Andrew's, Granville Andrew and Col. Andrew owned and operated mills. Many believe that both learned that skill from uncle Noah Hampton.

November 12, 1752: The Diary of Moravian Bishop Spangenburg mentions the Andrew Hampton Shoals on the Catawba River, identified by editorial footnote as probably then the Horseford Shoals 3 miles from Hickory, North Carolina. Bishop Spangenburg had passed through Granville County Court House on the 25th and 26th of September, 1752, when he was preparing to survey the frontier for the 100,000 acres of land to be bought of the Earl Granville tract.

Edenton, Sept. 12, 1752, new style. [Spangenberg Diary.] Land matters in North Carolina are also in unbelievable confusion, and I do not see how endless law-suits are to be avoided. A man settles on a piece of land and does a good deal of work on it (from the Carolina standpoint), then another comes and drives him out,-and who is to definitely settle the matter? There surely should have been a general surveyor from the beginning of the Colony, who should have had a map of the whole territory, and as from time to time land was surveyed, and the special surveyor made his returns, it should have been entered on the map, which would then have shown what land was vacant and what had been taken up. Unfortunately we can neither find nor hear of such a map.

The General Assembly has made an effort to remedy this confusion, and in 1748 passed an Act requiring property owners to bring in their Patents for registration, under £5 penalty for neglect to do this. It was further provided that whoever did not register his Patent within one year from the date of the Act should lose his rights founded upon it. Could we have crossed the Catawba we would have taken up land on the other side also, but there is no canoe, and to ride across is too risky. [The plot shows 1107 acres, on the north side of the Catawba, "just above
Andrew Hampton shoals."30]

Isaac Van Meter, will dated 15 Feb 1754, shown as resident of South Branch of the Potowmack (Potomac) River, in Frederick Co., Va. Will proved 14 Dec. 1757 in Hampshire Co., VA, mentions land purchased of Michael Hyder in Hampshire; also land bought of James Cebrun (Coburn) mentioned as located by Abraham Hite & Jonathan Heath.

March, 1754: Anson County, North Carolina Deeds show Mathew Kuykendall and wife Mary sell 150 acres for 28 Pounds Virginia money to Andrew Hampton. The land is located on the south side of the Catawba River and south side of Leapers Creek. Witnesses were John and Peter Kuykendall and Charles Dunlap and the Register shows all parties to be of Anson County.

Here they lived and raised their family. (Catherine was a daughter of Hans Michael Heider of Moorefield, WV and thus a brother of Benjamin Hyder).

Location for the Hampton mill in NC. There is a State historical marker at the intersection of NC Hwy 64 and Mountain Creek Road, which reads something like, "Andrew Hampton established a mill and trading post 2 miles northeast of here before 1770."

APRIL, 1770: Andrew Hampton, Abraham Kuykendall, Henry Clark and Joseph Green presented their commissions as captains in the Tryon militia to the April Court. Tryon formed in 1769, from Mecklenburg County, North Carolina in its initial scope had boundaries almost undefinable. See, "The History of Old Tryon and Rutherford Counties," 1730-1936, by Clarance W. Griffin. The first Tryon Sheriff reported 1226 taxables in 1769. Erent Holcomb in his, "Deed Abstracts of Tryon, Lincoln and Rutherford Counties, North Carolina 1769-1786," shows that at the time of its formation, Tryon County, North Carolina included all of the South Carolina Counties of York, Chester, Union, Cherokee, Spartanburg, Greenville, Laurens and Newberry; and also included all or parts of the North Carolina Counties of Lincoln, Gaston, Cleveland, Rutherford, Henderson, Polk, Burke and McDowell.

JULY 4, 1771: Lincoln County Deed Book #1, page 678, shows Andrew Hampton and Katherine his wife of Tryon County, North Carolina releases a tract to Samuel Johnston of Tryon, now in his possession on north side of Dutchman's Creek adjoining Abraham Kuykendall, James Kuykendall; 280 acres granted to Mary Kuykendall, now the wife of Martin Armstrong, patent bearing date of March 26, 1755, and conveyed afterwards by Martin Armstrong and wife Mary, to Andrew Hampton by single deed bearing date of November 25, 1763. Quitrents payable to "our Sovereign Lord the King." Signed by Andrew Hampton and Katharine (X) Hampton. Witnesses to the above land transfer were Patrick McDavid, James (X) Millekon and John McElroy, proved January session 1773. Tryon County record books were adopted in 1779, when Tryon was discontinued after the formation of Rutherford and Lincoln Counties, by the new administration of Lincoln County.

JULY 6, 1772: The Lincoln County Deed Book #2, page 314 lists Andrew Hampton of Tryon County, Yeoman, sells 300 acres to Hugh Jenkins, Yeoman. The tract is the same, as that Adam Hampton died seized and possessed of, the said Andrew Hampton as heir at law to the said Adam, his brother. This is the only reference seen relating to a brother Adam for Andrew Hampton.

The 1772 will of Noah Hampton was found by a researcher named Purcell in 1997. It was found at the West Virginia University under the Early Records of Hampshire Co., now WV. The will mentions wife Alse, indicating a second wife. In addition to the wife the will mentions a son Andrew, oldest daughter Mathy, and a daughter Ann.

APRIL, 1782: The General Assembly met in Hillsboro, on order of business was the appointment of Commissioners to purchase 50 acres of land from James Holland for the erection of a public building. Andrew Hampton, John Earle, Robert Porter, William Whiteside and James Miller were the Commissioners appointed.

1782: The Draper Collection held by the Wisconsin Historical Society, includes a letter from James Holland which states that Colonel Andrew Hampton received instructions from the Executive of North Carolina to have sufficient stations erected on the Frontier and to raise men and garrison them against the threat of the Indians. Shortly thereafter, Andrew Hampton resigned and William Porter was appointed Colonel in his stead. Porter had been with the Irish Trading Camp.

Draper papers identified as Draper MSS 12 DD 13 show a petition by Andrew Hampton to the Court of Rutherford County (1782) seeking reimbursement for 160 Pounds of Specie taken by "a banditry of Tories" marched into Rutherford by Major Fergusen in 1780. Specie had been "forcibly and feloniously taken by Mark Powel, James Upton Calishaw and many others.

In the late 1770's, John Ownby and his family moved again to Tryon County, North Carolina (later Rutherford County). Here he began to buy lands and remained until his death. They lived in the area of Colonel Hampton's Mill near Cove Road in Rutherford County, North Carolina.

Records in the National Archives show an index of the volunteer soldiers from North Carolina in the American Revolution. Andrew Hampton shows as a Captain and Lt. Colonel in Graham's Regiment of Tryon County, North Carolina and Andrew Hampton shows in Porter's Company as well as one Michael Hampton and Adam Hampton as Ensign. Colonel Andrew Hampton in his 1805 will mentions deceased sons Adam and Michael Hampton. Date of death of Adam has not been found, having been commissioned in the Tryon Militia in 1775, he would have needed a birth year of around 1755. Older brother Jonathan was born in 1751 and the sister Susannah was possibly the next oldest after Jonathan. The brother Noah got land from his father in 1779, giving him a birth year of 1757, after Adam. Michael Hampton was shown as under age 18, in the militia of Montgomery County, Virginia on August 30, 1780, which could give him a year of birth around 1762. Michael Hampton was killed by Indians on the north frontier of Sumner County, Tennessee on November 29, 1794, along with John Lawrence and William Harris. See page 620 of the "Annals of Tennessee" by J.G.M. Ramsay, 1853.

Location: ........ joined by a small tributary. This appears to have been Andrew Hampton's Mill Creek, and this flat bottom land may have been the 100 acres of land which that distinguished Revolutionary War veteran gave to William Bowman, Jr. Tax map plots establish that a small tributary of this western fork was a boundary line for the property of Eli Bowman. Thus we locate the Shingletree Branch and the homestead William Bowman and Mary Cosby established in Rutherford County. At some time within a few years of 1770, Andrew Hampton sold to his brother-in-law Jacob Hyder, a parcel of land on Mountain Creek, which included "the mill stream."

JULY 20, 1805: Andrew Hampton draws his will. October 8, 1805 is the date shown for the death of Colonel Andrew Hampton, with burial on his property on Mountain Creek Road. See page 501 of the local history book, "Rutherford County 1979: A Peoples Bicentennial History", compiled by the Historical Subcommittee of the Rutherford County Bicentennial Committee for a section compiled by Sue Koon. In 1805 Colonel Andrew Hampton was probably about 80 years old. He had left land and records in several states. That he was contemplating a trip to the "northward" in 1799 to prosecute some business there, suggests he was a strong Pioneer until the last years.

Dr. Robert W. Ramsay, a professional historian, in an article found in the Fall 1967 issue of the North Carolina Genealogist Magazine, discusses the militia service of Andrew Hampton and others. It is Dr. Ramsay's expressed opinion in this article, that Colonel Andrew Hampton came from the line of Hamptons found in Cecil County, Maryland. Cecil County, Maryland records show for May 4, 1725, one Andrew Hampton, was deceased without will and his widow Susannah renounced her rights to administer the estate of her deceased husband. Some have speculated that this Andrew and Susannah might be the parents of Col. Andrew. In the absence of a will and with no record of the estate settlement in 1725, names of children are unknown. (Colonel Andrew Hampton did mention an eldest daughter in his 1805 will, with the name Susannah.) In his book, Dr. Ramsay identifies early Hampton families found in Freehold, Monomouth County, New Jersey and Cecil County, Maryland. The abundance of primary evidence so far found, is in most people's view, is supportive of the position taken in 1967 by Dr. Robert W. Ramsay, which places Colonel Andrew Hampton of Rutherford County as a descendant of the Hampton line found early in Cecil County Maryland and Monmouth County, New Jersey.

Subject: Re: The earlier mentioned Hamptons, Kuykendalls & Cobourn show up in NC in 1748


Karl,
I think it is pretty evident that date of 1748 is incorrect and I think that
Betty will support me in this. The document was surely misfiled and was
actually a document of about 1754. The following is taken from a book I have
written on the Kuykendall family.

"In NC Colonial Records Vol. XXII, p. 820, for 1748, is a list of the Militia
Company of Captain Samuel Cobrin during the Spanish Alarm which included
Ensign John Kuykendall, Corporal Abraham Kuykendall, James Kuykendall and
Peter Kuykendall, the latter two being listed in the married enlisted men
section. Andrew Hemton (Hampton) was listed in the column of married men. However many of the men in that list were not in the area until
1753 and I and others believe that list was more likely made about 1754 or
later and had been filed in the wrong year and was not related to the Spanish
Alarm. For instance William Ratchford who was on that list was on the 1750
and 1751 pastor support list of the Rev. Adam Boyd, Pastor of the Forks of
the Brandywine Presbyterian Church in Chester Co. Pa. and is listed as
married without land on the 1753 tax list of Chester Co., Pa. but later that
year is listed as gone to the Carolinas on the support list of the Rev. Adam
Boyd."

"Minnie Stowe Puett wrote a History of Gaston County, dated 1939, which gives
some details of the earlier history of the area (present Gaston Co.). She
wrote on p.43 "Robert Leeper was one of the first settlers near the junction
of the rivers (The South Fork of the Catawba and the Catawba River), being
granted 350 acres of land 3/31/1750. James Kuykendall, an associate, came
about the same time and recorded a grant of 600 acres 9/28/1750 that was
issued 4/1/1751. It was near the junction of the 2 rivers. For one or two
years, according to the records, the families of Robert Leeper and James
Kuykendall had the Point section almost entirely to themselves, except for
the Indians. One grant earlier than those of Leeper and Kuykendall, issued to
Thomas Robertson, was in the Point , dated 4/13/1749 and another was issued
to Thomas Potts in 1750. As a protection from the Catawba, Cherokee or both,
a fort and stockade were built by Robert Leeper, James Kukendall and 2 others
whose names are not known at the junction of the South Fork and Catawba
Rivers. The fort was rudely constructed of logs at the foot of a bluff from
which a bold spring flowed. This bluff is now covered by waters of the Duke
Power Development. It was on the left bank of the South Fork near a neck of
land called the Point where the two rivers meet. The building was within an
enclosure, triangular in shape, formed by a stockade on one side which began
at the Catawba and ended at a point on the Fork. The rivers formed the other
two sides of the triangle. The site of the fort was ideal and made such an
appeal to Leeper, Kuykendall and the few others who saw it that it likely
helped determine their place of settlement. Later many were attracted to the
area by the protection it offered. Among the number was Frederick Hambright.
With him were his wife and children and his wife's brothers, the
Hardins.......p. 45, By 1753, many had settled in the southern part of the
county (some of this would have been in what is now Allison and the Fishing
Ck. area in York Co., SC) The land was rich and the Indians were
comparatively quiet. Among those were the Coburns; John, Judith and Samuel.
John Armstrong was the pioneer in lower Gaston. He obtained a grant dated
8/30/1753 for 350 acres on the Belmont side of Armstrong's Ford and on the
same date James Armstrong was granted 229 acres on Beaverdam Ck. Martin was
another Armstrong who early settled on the Fork...... On page 66, a second
grant from King George to George Rutledge in 1753 was for 320 acres on
Kuykendall Ck joining the lands of James Kuykendall. It was later called
Dutchman's Ck because James Kuykendall was a Dutchman who had affiliated
himself with the Scotch-Irish."

I think it is fairly clear that there was probably no white settlement in
Gaston Co. in 1748 and certainly no organized Militia. There were enough
people in 1754 for there to be organized militia. Matthew Kukendall, father
of James sold his 337 acres of land in Hampshire Co., Va. 5/14/1751 to
Abraham "son of Jacob Kuykendall". Matthew and his son James had applied for
land grants in Anson Co., NC on 8/29/1750 which were issued on 4/1/1751.This
was when I think the move was made to Anson Co., NC. I think that any of them
that had children born before 1751 married in Hampshire Co., Va.

It is my belief that Peter Kuykendall married Mary Hampton in Hampshire Co.
The relationship of Peter to the family of Noah Hampton is long. Peter had
several grandsons named Noah and one named Andrew. In the Journal of the
House of Burgesses of Virginia: there is "12/9/1743, on petition of Noah
Hampton and others, for a road from Noah Hampton's mill into a road on the
Great Capon, near James Coddy's fort, ordered that Jonathan Coburn, Isaac
Thomas, Peter Kuykendall and James Delheryea, or any two of them mark off the
road.

On 8/17/1753 Peter Kuykendall of the County of Frederick sold for L84 to Luke
Decker of the same county 420 acres the Great South Branch of the Potomac
River. Peter bought land from John Kuykendall on 12/10/1753 in Anson Co., NC
which he and his wife Mary sold the same day to Joseph Hardin. John had
acquired the land on 8/30/1753. On 3/1/1754 Matthew Kuykendall and his wife
Mary sold ½ of his grant of 300 acres to Peter Kuykendall and ½ to Andrew
Hampton. (I suspect Peter and Andrew were brothers-in-law since Noah had a
son named Andrew.) On 4/12/1764 Peter Kukendall of Mecklenburg Co., NC and
Mary Kuykendall sold to Andrew Hampton 150 acres on the s. side of the of the
Catabo and Leeper's Ck. that had been granted to Matthew Kuykendall on
4/1/1751 and conveyed to Peter Kuykendall on 3/1/1754.This gave Hampton all
of the 300 acre grant to Matthew Kuykendall since Andrew Hampton had bought
half of it when Peter bought half of it. It would appear that Peter lived on
the 150 ac. he bought from Matthew from 1754 to 1762 when he acquired 800 ac.
on Fishing Ck. (now in York Co., SC). He apparently lived there until 1779
when sold his land in Craven Co.,SC (York Co.) and moved to Washington Co.,
NC (now Tennessee).

You ask about Kuykendalls in Montgomery Co., Pa. Those who went to Hampshire Co., Va. and then to Anson Co., NC never lived in Montgomery Co. They lived up in Minisink (Port Jervis, NY), mostly in nearby New Jersey, maybe some in what was then Bucks Co., Pa. They had lived near Kingston, NY before moving to the Minisink area of Port Jervis.

Abraham "son of Jacob Kuykendall". Matthew and his son James had applied for
land grants in Anson Co., NC on 8/29/1750 which were issued on 4/1/1751.This
was when I think the move was made to Anson Co., NC. I think that any of them
that had children born before 1751 married in Hampshire Co., Va.

It is my belief that Peter Kuykendall married Mary Hampton in Hampshire Co.
The relationship of Peter to the family of Noah Hampton is long. Peter had
several grandsons named Noah and one named Andrew. In the Journal of the
House of Burgesses of Virginia: there is "12/9/1743, on petition of Noah
Hampton and others, for a road from Noah Hampton's mill into a road on the
Great Capon, near James Coddy's fort, ordered that Jonathan Coburn, Isaac
Thomas, Peter Kuykendall and James Delheryea, or any two of them mark off the
road.

On 8/17/1753 Peter Kuykendall of the County of Frederick sold for L84 to Luke
Decker of the same county 420 acres the Great South Branch of the Potomac
River. Peter bought land from John Kuykendall on 12/10/1753 in Anson Co., NC
which he and his wife Mary sold the same day to Joseph Hardin. John had
acquired the land on 8/30/1753. On 3/1/1754 Matthew Kuykendall and his wife
Mary sold ½ of his grant of 300 acres to Peter Kuykendall and ½ to Andrew
Hampton. (I suspect Peter and Andrew were brothers-in-law since Noah had a
son named Andrew.) On 4/12/1764 Peter Kukendall of Mecklenburg Co., NC and
Mary Kuykendall sold to Andrew Hampton 150 acres on the s. side of the of the
Catabo and Leeper's Ck. that had been granted to Matthew Kuykendall on
4/1/1751 and conveyed to Peter Kuykendall on 3/1/1754.This gave Hampton all
of the 300 acre grant to Matthew Kuykendall since Andrew Hampton had bought
half of it when Peter bought half of it. It would appear that Peter lived on
the 150 ac. he bought from Matthew from 1754 to 1762 when he acquired 800 ac.
on Fishing Ck. (now in York Co., SC). He apparently lived there until 1779
when sold his land in Craven Co.,SC (York Co.) and moved to Washington Co.,
NC (now Tennessee).

Subject: Re: The earlier mentioned Hamptons,
+ Yes it would appear that Andrew Hamoton came to Anson Co. and settled on the
Pee Dee Rivewr in about 1748. However this is about 60 miles from Gaston Co.
on the Catawba River. From the deeds it would appear that he sold his land on
the Pee Dee River in 1751 and moved over where the Kuykendalls had settled,
buying land in 1753 from Matthew Kuykendall and settling next to Peter
Kuykendall who was just making his move from from Hampshire Co., Va. also at
that time. The Andrew Hampton on the Tar River in Granville Co is obviously a
different Hampton.



Notes for KATHERINE ELIZABETH HYDER:
The last Hiders to live in Moorfield was Hampton Hider (who never married) and his sister Clementina Miles. Clementina's only son, Charley William Miles, who served in the McNeill's Rangers, was killed just south of Moorfield in an encounter with the Union Cavalry. William was buried in the Hider cemetery. There were Hiders living on the Moorefield (W.V.) farm till 1880 (1880 census). They were Hampton Hider (single) and his sister Clementina Miles (widow). They were both in their late 50's. In the 1900 census they are not listed. Hampshire County was divided in 1785. The southern half where Moorefield is located became Hardy Co; West Virginia. Hampton and his sister Clementina Miles left everything to George McNeill. George was the son of Adam Hider McNeill.

Hampton Hider was reportedly named after Andrew Hampton. Michael Hider Jr's [known to most researchers as Sr. the son of Hance Michael] sister Catrina (Catherina) married Andrew Hampton.

Andrew Hampton, Benjamine and Jacob Hider settled in North Carolina. Benjamine and Jacob were the brothers of Michael [Sr] who settled in Tennessee.

Rutherfordton in Rutherford County, North Carolina. "In the town library I found some information on three of Hans Michael Hider's children: Catherine (the wife of Andrew Hampton), Benjamine Hider, and Jacob Hider. Jacob was single and did not own anything. He was on a local census with the above information; that's it for him." - from a Hyder researcher.

Benjamin Hyder married 15 Feb 1768 to "Katy" or Catherine Heslep in either Mecklenburg County, NC or Lincoln County. They first appear in Rutherford County with the purchase of a 200-acre tract of land for L20 on Mountain Creek of Broad River from Andrew Hampton and his wife Catherine (land which had been granted to Andrew Hampton on 20 March 1766), recorded in Mecklenburg County, 6 August 1768. Here they lived and raised their family. (Catherine was a daughter of Hans Michael Heider of Moorefield, W.V. and thus a brother of Benjamin Hyder).

Son, BENJAMIN HYDER all land on waters of Mountain Creek ........... Also .......... my still, smith tools (JOHN to have liberty to use tools),......

"Families of Carter County: Michael Hyder (the immigrant) and his wife, Katherine came into America through the port of Philadelphia, August 17, 1729. They sailed from Rotterdam, which was the port of embarkation for all immigrants leaving Central Europe. Michael and Katherine eventually settled in Hampshire County, Virginia, now West Virginia, and reared their family.

Delbert Thomas (June 20, 1988; Ltr): ... Hans Michael & Katherine Heider [Hider/Hyder] came from Homburg, Germany ... landed in Philadelphia in Montgomery Co. Penn. It was here that 3 or 4 of their children were baptized. Then the Hyder family moved on to Moorefield Twp, Virginia (WV now) where they settled.) ... The Hance Michael Hyder children were:

Hans Mich. Rider ... The "EI" of Heider is lost with "Y" replacing the "EI" in the list on page 23 ... Page 25 ... (list 9B) ... 21 June, 1729 ... list includes a Hanns Michel Heider ... another list on page 26 (list 9C) ... includes name Hans Michel Heider.

In reference to how Katherine's name (wife of Col Andrew Hampton) is spelled, I submit the following: Katherine CHASTEEN (her mother) is Katherine with a K born ABT. 1709, Germany - - - DEATH: AFT. 1746. We know her mothers name was with a K and her baptismal papers (the daughter Katherine) show Katrina with a K.

Col Andrew Hampton, born abt. 1725, married Kathrine (born before 1736, but not before 1734) in about 1749 according to family tradition. We have the following information: "Hans Hyder, settled in the area of Hampshire County, Virginia (now Hardy Co., West Virginia), in the 1740s. He had a plantation on the Potomac River, 1749 received land in Hampshire County." Thus we believe the marriage was after 1740 when Katherine and her family migrated to Hampshire County, WV. and before Katherine and Andrew migrated to NC in 1750/51. 1749 is the best estimate of the year of the marriage, Katherine would have been 14-16 years old. Women rarely were allowed to marry before that age, but at the time, 14 years of age was considered adequate for a woman to marry. For those who still hold to the one Andrew Hampton theory, that Andrew was born 1710-1713. That Andrew would have been 39 years old, with a son born in 1734 and marrying a 14 year year old (Andrew's eldest son being 16 year of age at the time, 2 years older than his step-mother). I know this wouldn't be the first time that has happened, but it is one more point to consider with evaluating the one or two NC Andrews Hampton question.

  Notes for JONATHAN HAMPTON:
In 1751, Jonathan Hampton, was born on Dutchman's creek, Lincoln County* (according to his own and family members statements), near the Catawba river, North Carolina. It is reported that when nearly grown, he removed with his father, and settled on Mountain creek, four or five miles south-west of Gilbert Town.

*Lincoln County wasn't created until 1789, long after Jonathan was born. The area where Jonathan was born later became Lincoln County, but in 1751 would have been Anson County. The location is the same. These early family members when stating locations probably knew in thier mind the location they were speaking of, which at the time the statement was made - would have been Lincoln County. They did not add the qualifier, "which at the time would have been Anson County." The location would be near the present Mt. Holly, NC.

Jonathan was involved during the Revolutionary war, although not in the same way or to the same to the same degree as his father. It has been reported that he was "reel footed" (club foot) and that some even refer to him as Reel Foot. In spite of his handicap, Jonathan non the less served his country well during the war. The following account the book, "King's Mountain and Its Heros: History of the Battle of King's Mountain," provides information about Jonathan during the Revolutionary War.

.... It was reported to Colonel Ferguson, that Jonathan Hampton, a son of Colonel Andrew Hampton, residing in the vicinity of Gilbert Town, held the King's authority in great contempt; that he had the hardihood to accept a commission of Justice of the Peace from the Rebel Government of North Carolina, and had, only recently, ventured, by virtue of that instrument, to unite Thomas Fleming and a neighboring young lady in the holy bonds of wedlock. It was a high crime and misdemeanor in British and Tory eyes. So a party of four or five hundred men were dispatched, under Majors Plummer and Lee, to visit the Hampton settlement, four or five miles south-west of Gilbert Town, to apprehend young Hampton, and possibly entrap his father at the same time. But the Colonel had left the day before, and re-united with McDowell's forces. Riding up to young Hampton's cabin, they found him sitting at the door, fastening on his leggings, and getting himself in readiness to follow his father to the Whig camp in some secluded locality in the mountain coves of that region.

At this moment, James Miller, Andrew and David Dickey, three Whig friends, came within hailing distance, and hallooed: "Jonathan, are those men in the yard, friends or foes!" Hampton, without exercising ordinary prudence, replied: "Boys, whoever you are, they are d--d Red Coats and Tories--clear yourselves!" As they started to run, the Tories fired two or three volleys at them; but they fortunately escaped unhurt. Perhaps Hampton presumed somewhat upon his partially crippled condition that forbearance would be shown him, for he was reel-footed; yet he managed to perform many a good service for his country, and, as in this case, would lose sight of self, when he could hope to benefit his friends. Mrs. Hampton chided him for his imprudence, saying: "Why, Jonathan, you are the most unguarded man I ever saw."

The Tory party cursed him soundly for a d--d Rebel, and Major Lee knocked him down, and tried to ride over him, but his horse jumped clear over his body without touching him. Lee had just before appropriated Hampton's horse as better than his own, and it may be that the animal recognized his master, and declined to be a party to his injury. While Major Plummer was courteous and considerate, Major Lee was rude and unfeeling in the extreme. Hampton, and his wife's brother, Jacob Hyder, were made prisoners; and those who had Hampton in charge, swore that they would hang him on the spot, and began to uncord his bed for a rope for the purpose, when Mrs. Hampton ran to Major Plummer with the alarm, and he promptly interposed to prevent the threatened execution.

Some of the disappointed Tories, who thirsted for his blood, declared in his presence, that Ferguson would put so notorious a Rebel to death the moment he laid eyes on him. Major Plummer informed Hampton if he could give security for his appearance the next day at Gilbert Town, he might remain over night at home. He tried several Loyalists whom he knew, but they declined; and finally Major Plummer himself offered to be his security. According to appointment, the next day Hampton presented himself to Ferguson, at Gilbert Town, who proceeded to examine his case. When asked his name, he frankly told him, adding, that, though in the power of his enemies, he would never deny the honored name of Hampton. Major Dunlap, then on crutches, entering the room, inquired of Colonel Ferguson the name of the Rebel on trial? "Hampton," replied Ferguson. This seemed to rouse Dunlap's ire, who repeated thoughtfully: "Hampton -- Hampton-- that's the name of a d--d fine-looking young Rebel I killed a while since, on the head of Pacolet," referring to the affair at Earle's Ford, when Noah Hampton, a brother of the prisoner, was murdered in cold blood. Dunlap added: "Yes; I now begin to recall something of this fellow; and though a cripple, he has done more harm to the Royal cause than ten fighting men; he is one of the d--dest Rebels in all the country, and ought to be strung up at once, without fear or favor."

Jonathan Hampton had, indeed, been an unwearied friend of the Whig cause. He was a good talker; he kept up the spirits of the people, and helped to rally the men when needed for military service. Even in his crippled condition, he would cheerfully lend a helping hand in standing guard; and, when apprehended, was about abandoning his home to join his father and McDowell in their flight to Watauga. But Ferguson was more prudent and humane than Dunlap, and dismissed both Hampton and Hyder on their parole. Hampton observed when Ferguson wrote the paroles, he did so with his left hand; for, it will be remembered, his right arm had been badly shattered at Brandywine, the use of which he had never recovered. Hyder tore up his parole, shortly after leaving Ferguson's presence; but Hampton retained his as long as he lived, but never had occasion to use it, as Ferguson shortly after retired to King's Mountain.

1790 Rutherford NC Lincoln Co. 1st Federal Census -
Jonathan Hampton 1-4-4 2-2
1 child under 16, 4 over 16, 4 females, 2 other free and 2 slaves
Child under 16 would be Andrew (Andy) b. 1780+; 4 over 16 would be             Adam b. 1775 and Noah b. 1779 and Jonathan; 4 females would be Eliabeth b. 1783, Urcilla b. 1790 & Nancy. We see there are too many children in that census. According to Roberta Rose (family descendant) the family has been noted as taking in children best described as a "Foster Parent" situation. These would be the extra children noted in the census.

In 1794 my ancestor, Jonathan Hampton, received a land grant in Tn. When it was surveyed (probably after his death in 1843) it was found to be the property that "REELFOOT " Lake was on. In 1811-12 there was an earthquake in that area, leaving a depression of the land into which the Missippi overflowed. It drowned the village of Chief Reelfoot, hence the name. The earlier Hamptons thought it was named for Jonathan because he was "reelfooted" There was a big suit over this property. It wasn't settled until around 1915. Some of the decendants of Jonathan Hampton receiving as much as 50cents. Source: Roberta Rose.

Colonel Silas McDowell, who visited his old friend, Jonathan Hampton, in 1831, heard him relate the story of Dunlap being shot, but could only recall the main fact, that the perpetrator of the act, some friend of Noah Hampton, whom Dunlap had boasted of slaying, had rushed to the Major's up-stairs room, and shot him through the body as he lay on his couch. M. O. Dickerson, Esq., of Rutherfordton, has had substantially the same relation from Mr. Hampton. The old Gilbert house was then standing, and Hampton pointed out to both these visitors the stain of Dunlap's blood still discernible upon the floor; and there are others, still living, who have seen it also. This venerable building, in which the early courts of the County were held, when about to fall from age, was taken down some four or five years since, by its present owner, J. A. Forney, Esq., who has preserved the blood-stained floor-plank. While these traditions differ somewhat in their details, all having a common origin from the old patriarch, Jonathan Hampton, Sr., they all agree in the general conclusion, that Dunlap was shot in retaliation for alleged cruelties--either in killing Whigs, or abducting Miss McRea, or both; and all coincide in the belief, that the redoubtable Major was killed outright, and buried about three hundred yards south of the Gilbert house, the grave being still pointed out, marked by a granite rock at the head and foot.

Unfortunately, for Rutherford County, only a handful of estate records prior to 1849 exist in the archives due to a courthouse fire.

Rutherford County, North Carolina, Historian

First Presented in Altered Form at First Kings Mountain Forum

Kings Mountain National Military Park

August 29th, 1998

Formation

Rutherford, North Carolina, was formed April 14, 1779, from a part of old Tryon County. (Lincoln County was formed from the remaining part.) Rutherford County was named for General Griffith Rutherford of Rowan County, North Carolina, a Revolutionary War soldier who commanded the forts of Rutherford County during the summer of 1780.

The early courts in the county were held in the homes of Colenol John Walker, Thomas Morris, and William Gilbert. The first court held was held at the home of Colonel John Walker, which was located in 1779 at the present-day Logan Station.

The first court case heard in the county was against Hannah Adams. William Gilbert, Jonathon Hampton, and Joseph McDaniel were securities on a bond for 500 pounds each for Hannah Adams.

The courts with the justices of the peace provided general supervision of the county. The county court had charge of building and maintaining buildings, roads, and bridges; granting letters of administration; probating wills; seeing to the needs of the poor and orphans; levying taxes; and appointing tax listers and collectors.

The first justices of the peace were John Flack, William Grant, James Whitesides, John Walker, William Nevill, Timothy Riggs, George Black, William Gilbert, James Withrow, Jonathon Hampton, and John Earle.

All county officers, except members of the General Assembly, were elected or appointed by the justice of the peace. The appointed officers were sheriff, clerk of the county court, coroner, surveyor, public registrar, county treasurer, and county solicitor. In other words, all county officials were answerable to the justice of the peace, except members of the General Assembly.

Not all the cases during the war were about allegiance. Reverend Perminter Morgan, pastor of Mountain Creek Baptist Church, brought the Reverend Daniel Asbury of the Methodist Church before justice of the peace Jonathon Hampton at the courthouse. Morgan complained that Asbury did not have a license to preach. Hampton asked Morgan if what Asbury preached hurt the people in any way. Morgan answered that it did not. Hampton then said to let Asbury go and preach, as it did not harm the people - It might help them.

  Notes for NANCY WALKER:
Have not been able to find the parents of Nancy Walker, but believe her to be sibling of John Walker who married Urcilla Covington and Thomas Walker who left a will in Rutherford County in 1798. John and Urcilla had children named Urcilla, James, Susannah and Nancy. Jonathan and Nancy Walker had children named the same. Thomas Walker also had a daughter named Urcilla and a son named James. Jonathan Hampton and his son Noah were the executors of this will. SOURCE: Roberta Rose Research.

This would tend to indicate that John Hampton was born in 1749 (1770 - 21 = 1749). Even if one took the age of 18 it would mean 1752. Could this be another John Hampton? Could the 1751 birth date for Jonathan be in error?

This John Hampton also severed on a second jury of the seession: Jury finds for the plaintiff if the law be for him and assess to the plaintiff such recovery as the law sets forth for But if the law be against the plaintiff we find the defendant not guilty.

John McClain was born in Pennsylvania in 1760, volunteered as a soldier, fought in the Revolution. Entering the service in Rutherford County, North Carolina as a volunteer under Captain Adam Hampton in 1775, he was appointed a sergeant under the command of Colonel Andrew Hampton. In 1776 he was elected a lieutenant and served about two years patrolling Rutherford County between the Burke County line and the South Carolina border against the Cherokee Indians.

Date of death of Adam has not been found, having been commissioned in the Tryon Militia in 1775, he would have needed a birth year of around 1755.

You gave information on Andrew and Adam earlier on about property. I have
searched high and low for decendants of Adam to no avail. have a lot of "supposins" or "could be's". Know Adam Hampton left Rutherford Co., NC after 1784( have where he sold his property) also know he served in the Rev. War as a Lt. According to records in Sumner Co.,Tn. he died about 1794.

Have also found records in Mercer Co., Ky about him. Sumner Co founded in 1786 and taken from Davidson. Robertson wasn't formed until 9 April 1796. See what we are dealing with here as far as records. Believe the Original grants to Adam and Col. Andrew were supposed to be in Davidson Co. Haven't found a marriage record for Adam either.

Hi everyone In my never ending quest to find my 4th great grandfather
William P Hampton, I am still every Hampton record I can find in the hope
that one of them will lead me to his family. I have posted records on the
list before in the hope that they will be helpful to other list members. As
far as I know right now, none of these Hamptons are related to mine, but I
could be wrong since I still can't find William P's family. I don't have
anymore information on these than what I am going to post. Hope this helps

In the eastern mountain dialect, "Alse" is Elsie and "Mathy" is Martha. Second wife of Old Noah was named Alse, is is assumed that this daughter may gotten her name in recognition of Old Noahs wife, but nothing has been seen to document that.

I have been reading all these Hampton queries and haven't seen the name I am interested in: ALICE (AILSY) HAMPTON born ca. 1772-1774 in NC (I believe her to be the daughter of Andrew but have no documentation to prove it). She married PATRICK SCOTT ca. 1791 in NC. I think they migrated to Alabama where Alice (Ailsy) disappears. Patrick moved to Texas in 1832, there is no mention of a wife but he had several children with him: Andrew, Mary, Sarah, Eleanor, Elizabeth, Catrina, Jonathon and Noah. - genforum

Melissa: I'm just coming into all of these messages. Alice (Ailsy) shows up in my Andrew Hampton information as a sister to my direct ancestor Mary (Polly) Hampton who married Anslem Bradley in Rutherford County NC in October 1797. Like you, I have no absolute proof, which I am looking for, that Mary was a daughter of Col. Andrew Hampton, but all circumstantial evidence is there. There is an 1805 will listing all of Andrew's surviving children - I'll look it up to see if Alice (Ailsy) is on it, which would give you something - whether provable or not depends on last name, I supppose. At any rate, I do show her married to Patrick Scott. I don't know about their children or where they went, but further evidence is in the names of the children, specifically Jonathan and Noah (her brothers), Andrew and Catrina (her parents), Elizabeth and Mary (her sisters). Let's keep in touch for mutual aid. If you have any confirming information on proof that Mary was Andrew's daughter, PLEASE send it along. Cheers, cousin.

Hi, Kathy. My line from Anslem/Polly Hampton Bradley comes through their second (surviving) son, Noah Hampton Bradley, 4/26/1813-2/13/1892, and Sarah Kerr Bradley. I would love to swap information with you. Obviously your line must come through one of A&P's sons also, if your mother was a Bradley - Jonathan, perhaps? Please get in touch with me at carocav@aol.com, and let's get it going. Thanks for you interest. Caroline

  Notes for NOAH HAMPTON:
McCall's Hist. of Georgia, ii, 308-12; Saye's MSS.; MS. pension statements of General
Thomas Kennedy, of Kentucky, Robert Henderson, and Robert McDowell; Moore's
Diary of the Revolution, ii, 351, gives the date of the Pacolet fight as occurring "in the
night of July fifteenth," and this on the authority of Govenor Rutledge, who was then at
Charlotte. Judging from Allaire's Diary, it must have been the night before. The particulars
of the killing of young Hampton and Dunn are derived from the MS. communications
of Adam, Jonathan, and James J. Hampton, grandsons of Colonel Hampton.

Killed by British Tories - found on page 155 "Kings Mountain and Its Heroes".
Also from an account of his farther Col. Edward Hampton - mentioned that
Jonathan's brother Noah had been killed by Dunlap at Earle's Fort in Rutherford
County, North Carolina earlier in the year. Found on page 81 of "Kings
Mountain and Its Heroes"an exact account of how Noah was killed. "Major Dunlap
with his Dragoons and Tories, dashed instantly, with drawn swords, across the
stream among McDowell's men, while but few of them were yet roused out of sleep.
Young Hampton, when roused from his slumbers, was asked his name; he simply
replied "Hampton," one of a numerous family and connection of Whigs, too well
known, and too active in opposition to British rule, to meet with the least
forbearance at the hands of enraged Tories; and though he begged for his life,
they cursed him for a Rebel, and ran him through with a bayonet."

The brother Noah got land from his father in 1779, giving him a birth year of 1757,

Extr. son Jonathan Hampton; Wit: Charles Lewis, Thomas Rowland.
NOTE SPELLING -- MICHEL

Michael Hampton was shown as under age 18, in the militia of Montgomery County, Virginia on August 30, 1780, which could give him a year of birth around 1762. Michael Hampton was killed by Indians on the north frontier of Sumner County, Tennessee on November 29, 1794, along with John Lawrence and William Harris. See page 620 of the "Annals of Tennessee" by J.G.M. Ramsay, 1853.

Michael married Catherine
Smith in Mercer Co. Ky in 1785. He also was working on making Ky. a
state. This is found (I am told but have not seen)in the Va-Ky papers.
Will look for those one day.
So far I have not found a marriage or decendants for Adam either. - Roberta

  Notes for ANDREW (JR.) HAMPTON:
This Andrew Hampton (son of Col. Andrew Hampton born abt. 1765) is often confused with the Andrew Hampton (Andy, son of Jonathan Hampton b. 1780-1790), which is my direct family line. Thier children are often atributed to each other. Andrew Jr. as he is most often referred to, has been much more thoroughly researched, documented and referenced in various family histories. Adding to the confusion is the fact that they both migrated to White County, TN and died within a few years of each other.

Andrew HAMPTON Jr: Probate Deed 1840 -1849 White Co. page 149, dated Oct 1842.

Moved first to Jackson County, TN per Roberta, then White County. 2 deeds in White Co for him. Deeds for property sold there.
