Reuben Johnson was a charter member of Cloud's Creek Baptist Church (chartered 1788) in the part of Wilkes that became Oglethorpe. Below is the inscription of a marker that was erected in 1999 at the church.

CLOUD'S CREEK BAPTIST CHURCH

In 1785, following the Revolutionary War, pioneers from North Carolina -- including the Hendons, Hartsfields, Standifers, Johnsons, Lawrences, and Olives -- settled near Big Cloud's Creek on the Georgia frontier near the Creek and Cherokee nations. Olive's Fort was soon constructed and Cloud's Creek Baptist Church was constituted within its walls in 1788. The church was later moved 2 1/2 miles south to its present location on land deeded by Thomas Hendon in 1798. The second and current sanctuary on the new site was constructed in 1909 and continues in use today.

A Brief History of Cloud's Creek Baptist Church

compiled and written by Alice Hughes

After the Revolutionary War, land grants for military service were given in Georgia. Certain pioneers arriving in the northern portion of Wilkes County (later to become Oglethorpe County) were a close-knit group of families from Wake County, North Carolina. Interconnected by blood and marriage, they included Hendons, Olives, Johnsons and Hartsfields. Beginning in 1785, they formed a community near Big Cloud's Creek.

The Cherokee and Creek Nations overlapped in this area, and tensions between the two tribes erupted -- fully directed against the settlers. For protection, Anthony Olive built a two-storied blockhouse and stockade known as Olive's Fort. His wife, Kerenhappuch, was a younger sister to three Hendon brothers: Robinson, William, and Thomas, who along with their families used the fort for refuge.

Olive's Fort became the community's spiritual center on Saturday, September 20, 1788 when Cloud's Creek Baptist Church was constituted within its walls. The congregation joined the Georgia Association (Baptist) the following month.

In less than a decade, the church site was moved two and a half miles south to its present location. Legend states timbers from the old fort were used in the construction of the first church building. Thomas Hendon deeded the land and the existing structure to the church on May 12, 1798. Cloud's Creek united with the Sarepta Association of Baptists in 1800. William Hendon was ordained on July 11, 1807, and served as minister for more than four years thereafter. During these early years, Robinson Hendon acted as mediator for the congregation.

In a thicket beside Cloud's Creek Church are burial plots of early church members. Marked only with field stones, time has obscured the identities of specific graves.

The second sanctuary on this site was completed and dedicated on October 31, 1909, though the congregation had been meeting in the unfinished building as early as 1907. This structure continues to function as the place of worship.

9667 Rev. Timothy Dewell, recotr of Lydiard Tregoze, he was presented in 1645 and Rector till his death in 1692. He was one of the Wiltshire Signatures to the testimony of ministers in 1648, and a non-conformist. He had his sympathies with Presbyterianism, and on very friendly terms with his patron, Sir Walter and Lady St. John of Lydiard park. When some of the St. John children were ill with smallpox, they were sent to lodge with Dr. Dewell and his wife at Lydiard.

Timothy wrote his will on the forth of June 1689 in Lydiard Tregoze. While not an extremely long will, he did mention many of the individuals and palaces. He first mentions his eldest son Thomas Dewell who receives lands in Southapton county and lands called Cardinalls Hat in Reading, Berkshire, seven acres of meadow in the Kings Meade and his house in Reading. His son Timothy received lands in Eastcott Westcott and Nerthcott in Swindon parish. Anthony Dewell his son was willed land in Lydiard Millicent. His youngest sons Richard and Charles received land in Burton. He also mentioned his wife Anne and some grandchildren a brother named Richard, some cousins, a brother-in-law named Mr. Johnathan Rogers a son in law Mr. Charles Vilett. But most important to Henry who was to be paid "one hundred pounds after the decease of my wife Ann Dewell" by his son Timothy.

According to "Burkes Commoners" Dr. Timonty Dewell, rector of Lydiard Tregoze, in the county of Wilts. M(arried) first Elizabeth, daughter of Roger Knight, esq. Of Greenham, in the County of Berks, and by her had issue five children. he m(arried) secondly, Anne, daughter of Anthony Saunders and by her had issue five sons, of whom the Charles was one. Dr. Dewell was rector of Lydiard forty two years; he died 7th May 1692.

"Morfil," in Welsh, signifies "whale," which is indicative of the occupation of the inhabitants of St. Davids, who depended very largely upon the fishing for their subsistence. This occupation bred sailors, and among the descendants of the West coast Merricks were many bold and able seamen. It is said of Pembrokeshire that it is the least Welsh of all the Walsh counties, owing to the planting at an early time of a Flemish colony on its shores, which was antagonistic to the Welsh manner of living and thinking.

From soc.genealogy.medieval:

Dear Newsgroup ~

The immigrants Robert Abell, Richard More of the Mayflower and Rev. John Oxenbridge are lineal descendants of Reginald Lucy, died 1437, of Dallington, co. Northampton, and his wife, Margaret. Until now, Margaret Lucy's identity and parentage have been unknown. However, recently I came across this couple's marriage license in an obscure episcopal register:

"Kal. Jul. [1 July] 1369. At Heywod. To Reginald de Lucy, son of Sir Geoffrey de Lucy, and Margaret, daughter of Sir John de Moubrey, to be married in the chapel within Bretteby [Bretby] Castle [co. Derby]" [Reference: Lichfield Episcopal Registers, Register of [Bishop] Robert de Stretton, published in William Salt Archaeological Society, n.s., 8 (1905): 47].

As indicated by the license quoted above, the bride's name was Margaret Mowbray, daughter of Sir John de Mowbray. Due to the name, chronology and place of marriage, Margaret Mowbray can be readily identified as a hitherto unknown daughter of Sir John de Mowbray, 4th Lord Mowbray, by his wife, Elizabeth, daughter and heiress of John de Segrave, 4th Lord Segrave, of Bretby Castle, co. Derby.

In this case, the place of marriage is significant as Bretby Castle was one of the holdings of the Segrave family and fell to Mowbray family on the marriage of Elizabeth Segrave to John de Mowbray, 4th Lord Mowbray. This was presumably one of the Segrave family's principal residences, as Elizabeth's father, John de Segrave, prepared his will in 1352 at Bretby [Reference: Complete Peerage, 11 (1949): 609]. I assume this license was missed by Lucy and Mowbray researchers as the Lucy family was seated principally at Northampton, whereas the Mowbray family's chief holdings were in cos. Lincoln and York. One would not expect to look in Derbyshire for a marriage license for this couple.

The newly discovered Margaret Mowbray gives the immigrants, Robert Abell, Richard More and John Oxenbridge an all new descent from King Edward I plus many other interesting connections. For newsgroup interest, I have prepared the descent down to Robert Abell. For fuller particulars of the Lucy and allied families, please see the forthcoming 3rd edition of Plantagenet Ancestry.

9690 RFN: 3744 Stephen Hopkins sailed in the [UL: Mayflower :UL] in 1620, one of the "Londoners" or "Strangers" recruited for the voyage. He was called "Master" and only two others of the 17 free men on the voyage were so s tyled. He seems to have originated from the family of Hopkins, alias Seborne, located for several generations at Wortley, Wotton Underedge, co. Gloucester. The Wortley historian has conjectured, after a thorough study of the family, t hat Stephen of the
[UL: Mayflower :UL] may well have been son of Stephen Hopkins, a clothier of Wortley who also had a son Robert Hopki ns of London. Stephen Hopkins was probably the young man of tha t name who served as minister's clerk on the vessel [UL: Sea Venture :UL ] which sailed from London 2 June 1609, bound for Virginia. The ship was sever ely damaged in a hurricane, and the company was washed ashore on the Bermudan "Ile of Divels" on 28 July. The 150 survivors were marooned on the island for nine months, building two vesses which ultimately took them to Virginia. Durin g the sojourn Stephen Hopkins encouraged an uprising by his fellows upon groun ds that the Governor's authority pertained only to the voyage and the regime i n Virginia, not to the forced existence in Bermuda. For his remarks he was pla ced under guard, brought before the company in manacles and sentenced to deat h by court-martial. "But so penitent hee was and made so much moane, alleadgin g the ruine of his Wife and Children in this his trespasse," according to Will iam Strachey's record of the voyage, that friends among his cohorts procured a pardon from the Governor. The two newly built vessels, the [UL : Patience :UL] and the [UL: Deliverance, :UL] arrived at Jamestown on 24 May 1610, but no evidence has been found of Hopkins' residence there, and it is presumed he soon returned to his family in England. Strachey not ed that while Hopkins was very religious, he was contentious and defiant of au thority and possessed enough learning to undertake to wrest leadership from ot hers. The home in England of Stephen Hopkins was just outside of London Wall on the high road entering the city at Aldgate in the vicinity of Heneage House . In this neighborhood lived John Carver and William Bradford : BO] of the [UL: Mayflower :UL] company; Robert Cushman, the Lon don agent for the Pilgrims; and Edward Southworth, who later came to New England. Stephen was called a tanner or leathermaker at the time of the [ BO: [UL: Mayflower :UL] voyage. The name of Stephen's first wife remains unkn own. No authority has been found for the oft published identification of her as Constance Dudley. His second wife was named Elizabeth, and it se ems certain that the marriage of Stephen Hopkins and Elizabeth Fisher on 19 February 1617 at St. Mary Matfellon, Whitechapel, London, pe rtains to them. Stephen, wife Elizabeth and children Giles and Constance by fi rst wife and daughter Damaris by second wife, and two men servants, Edward [B O: Doty and Edward Lister, came on the [UL: Mayflower. :UL ] Son Oceanus was born during the voyage. Upon the ship's arrival at Cape Cod 11 November 1620, Stephen was among the men sigining the Mayflower Compac t in the cabin. He was one of three men designated to provide counsel and advice to Captain Myles
Standish on the first land expedition of th e Pilgrims in the New World. During the third day out, the company chanced upo n an Indian deer trap, and Stephen was able to explain its function and dange r to his fellows. In Februar of 1620, when Indians appeared on a neighboring h illtop, Captain Standish took Stephen Hopkins with him to negotiate with the savages. Thereafter, Stephen was invariably deputized to me et the Indians and act as an interpreter. In Jul

9697 Richard Chitwood was probably born about 1764 in Cumberland County, Virginia, to James Chitwood and his wife Alice. When he was young, his family moved south to Rutherford County, North Carolina. Following his father's death in 1780, he seems to have relocated to western Virginia.

On 27 April 1786, Joshua Chitwood took out a bond in Botetourt County, Virginia, to marry Jane Robinson with Richard Chitwood as his bondsman.[1] Richard Chitwood himself married Mary Cantley in neighboring Greenbrier County, Virginia, on 3 February 1789.[2]

On 24 February, 1798, he received a Spanish land grant of 610 acres on the Mississippi River in what would become Missouri.[3] He and his family lived in St. Ferdinand Township in St. Louis, and he took an active roll in local affairs. On 8 July 1806, he was certified in his appointment as Lieutenant of the 6th Militia Company.[4] On 24 January 1815, he was appointed Major of the 2nd Battalion, 1st Regiment.[5]

Major Richard Chitwood died about 1822 in St. Louis, Missouri, on the property he had been granted in 1798.[6] On 8 June 1822, his son Seth Chitwood was granted letters of administration on his estate.[7] His estate was finally ordered to be distributed in 1828, and his heirs were James Chitwood, Jr., Richard Chitwood, John Chitwood, James Chitwood, Sr., Warren Hunt, Hiram Chitwood, Amos Chitwood, and Seth Chitwood.[8]
Parents

There seems to be no surviving record that explicitly proves Major Richard Chitwood to have been a son of James Chitwood and his wife Alice, but the relationship can be inferred from other sources. As mentioned above, he was referred to as "my brother Richard Chitwood deceased" in the 1850 will of Seth Chitwood. In his will, Seth Chitwood also made reference to his "beloved brother John Chitwood."[9] Richard Chitwood was also mentioned in a letter dated 26 May 1809 from Thomas Thomson to James Chitwood of North Carolina. In the letter, the writer specifically mentioned that Seth Chitwood and John Chitwood were brothers of James Chitwood.[10]

9699 Richard Cole Jr. (4-23-1763 to 7-9-1839) married Sally Yates. He was a wealthy farmer; operated the Black Horse Inn; he was one of the first constables of Woodford County and was commissioned Lieutenant in the Woodford Light Infantry Company, November 10, 1796.

There were striking similarity in the personalities of Richard and his granddaughter Zerelda, they had strong personalities, blunt acceptance of facts pleasant or unpleasant, high courage and almost fanatical loyalty to their families. They were friends to be desired and enemies to be feared and avoided. Richard Cole Junior's latter days were marred by violent and tragic events, which did not cease with his death but continued to plague his family unto "the third and forth generation."

Richard and Sallie's children were:
William Cole, Mary Cole, Elizabeth Cole, Sally Cole, Jesse Cole, and Amos Cole who were killed in a fight at Black Horse Inn 1827. James Cole (2-8-1804 to 9-27-1833) was married to his first cousin Sally Lindsay. She had only two children before his death. It is said he died after being thrown from a horse. Zerelda was then only two years old, she continued to live at the Black Horse Inn with her grandfather as guardian. After James death her mother married again to Robert Thomason whom Zerelda did not favor. According to members of the family Zerelda "hated" Robert Thomason and became a favorite to her Grandfather, Richard Cole Jr. who gave her the proper education and training to become a lady of prominence. When Sally and Robert moved to Clay County Mo. Zerelda did not accompany them, instead she went to live with her Uncle James M. Lindsay, at Stamping Ground, Scott Co. Ky

9700 Richard Condra lineage

It is believed Richard was born in Chesterfield County, Virginia.
Dorcus was also born in Virginia. The following information is includ-
ed here to document this family.

RICHARD CONDRA, born circa 1751, Virginia. Married Dorcus
____, born circa 1755, Barren County, Kentucky. Children:

John, born 2 April 1777, Virginia
George, born circa 1792, Monroe County, Kentucky
Elizabeth, born circa 1794
Rhoda, born circa 1796, died 1840

"I found this entry at the Latter Day Saints Library, Salt
Lake City, Utah." Carl Goad of Homer, Illinois, 1972.

Mormon Library, Salt Lake City, Utah records. Neil Thompson furnished
information, stating the source as "Family Bible of John Condra" as
copied by George Evert Condra, Dean of University of Nebraska and
Crawford County, Indiana marriage records. This record states:

John Condra(Condrey), born 2 April, 1777 Va., died 12 Aug
1833 in Liberty Township, Crawford County, Indiana.

Father: Richard Condra Mother: Dorcus

Other wives: 2nd Rebecca Alderson, md 21 May 1812

Wife 1: Margaret Larimer, born circa 1781, Chester County,
Pennsylvania

Mrs. Florence Lipsey writes:

"Sullivan County, Tennessee joins a portion of Washington
County, Virginia. In 1799, our John Condra married in that County
to Margaret Larrimore. Richard Condra lived in the right place
and the right time for John to have been his son.
Also, John Condra named his daughter, Dorcus. Dorcus married
George G. Vance in Crawford County, Indiana in 1826. George and
Dorcus named one of their daughters, Dorcus Amelia.
John Condra's only son by his first marriage, William Con-
dra, named one of his daughters Dorcus(married Samuel Melton).
Because the name of Dorcus went down through this Condra
family, it is speculation, not truth, that John Condra Sr. had
named his daughter after his mother, Dorcus Cox Condra."

Ethel Sivil of California has been working on the Condra history
for many years. Her conclusions, based also on family records and
bibles, are that Elder John Condra was a son of Richard and
Darcus(Cox) Condra. She is also a descendant of George and
Rebecca(Browning) Condra, son of Richard and brother to Elder John.
She also concludes that Richard is a son of William and Mary(Blanken-
ship) Condra, circa 1730.
Dayton Birdwell of Thompkinsville, Kentucky indicates in his 1967
family listing, that Elder John was a son of Richard who was a son of
William and Mary Condra. This is in agreement with Ethel Sivils con-
clusions.
Maxine Nebeker of Oregon wrote to Ethel Sivil in 1978, and said
in part;

"My great grandmother was named Rhoda Condra McCelland. She
was born in Thompkinsville, Monroe County, Kentucky in 1821.
Her parents were Josiah McCelland and Rhoda Condra and her
grandparents were Richard Condra and probably Dorcas Cox of
Tennesse and Kentucky. Someone said that Richard was living
in Jackson County, Tennessee and on the tax list there in
1810. He signed some papers and witnessed 2 wills--one for a
William Condra and one for a Browning in Kentucky. I have
quite a few records mentioning Richard but not proof of wife
or children, or where he came from before going into Tennes-
see and Kentucky. I think he lived for awhile in Sullivan
County in 1790 and left there about 1805 when he sold land
in Kingsport. I need proof of his wife and more children. He
had at least three children, probably more. We have:

Elizabeth, born 20 Feb 1782. md. John Garton
George, born 1792. md. Rebecca Browning
Rhoda, born md. Josiah McCelland

Rhoda and Josiah McCelland bought land of Rev. John Condra
on Line Creek in Barren(Monroe later) Kentucky, and lived
there until about 1826. This John could have been an older
brother or possibly a brother of her father, Richard."

In a separate article quoting Mrs. Nebeker:

Mrs. Vern Nebeker of Eugene, Oregon says Richard is her
ancestor, and family tradition states that he married Dorcus
Cox and had a brother named Dennis. Also she tells that his
daughter, Rhoda, was her great-great-grandmother Rhoda
McCelland and they lived in Monroe County, Kentucky. (note:
A Samuel Cox signed Richard's voucher in 1783)

Charles E. Condra, also a long time researcher, implied a rela-
tionship in his invitation to the 6th Condra National Reunion. He
stated:

"Speaking of the Bicentennial, what other family can boast
"kin" like these: Richard Condra, born 1751-married Dorcus
Cox and their children; John "Elder", 1777, George, 1792,
Elizabeth, 1794 and Rhoda, 1796---we really are a 200 year
old family----".

Now, on with the Richard and Dorcus Condra history. To this union, 4
children were born: John, Elizabeth, Rhoda, and George.
