In 1678 Axtell's son, also named Daniel Axtell, fled to Carolina after his house in Stoke Newington was searched for seditious libels. He died in 1687.[12]

************
In the early 1680s, London merchant Daniel Axtell began promoting migration
from the British Isles to Carolina and planned on migrating there with his family. He was
most likely the son of an officer in Oliver Cromwell's army who oversaw the trial of
Charles I and was later executed in 1660 after the restoration of the Crown. Axtell and
another Londoner, Joseph Morton, were instrumental in convincing hundreds of colonists
to migrate to Carolina and were each rewarded with the feudal title of Landgrave. Morton
took up lands to the south of Charles Town along the Edisto River and quickly became
the governor of the colony. "Daniell Axtell of London Marcht" received a warrant for
three thousand acres on December 13, 1680. He did not spend much time in Carolina
before his death in 1684. Daniel Axtell's son, Holland, took his father's title of
Landgrave, but his widow, Rebecca Axtell, lived on and oversaw their main plantation,
named Newington. The plantation was located on the upper reaches of the Ashley River,
near the present city of Summerville. Newington was probably the result of Axtell's
original 1680 grant of three thousand acres, and this plantation has the only surviving
account book from the early years of the colony.25

*******
In I 678, another Daniel Axtell, probably a son of Col.
Daniel, left England in company with many others of
Puritanic tende::cies on account of the oppression and
indignities to which they were subjected by the law and
government of the country. August 13, 1678, before
leaving England, he made a will in which he remembers
his children: Sibella, Sibyl, Daniel, Mary, Holland,
Rebecca, Elizabeth and Ann. Of these, only ont: of age, he
made his ,vife, "Rebeckah" "his full and whole executrix,"
Henry Danvers, Esq. and \\Villiam Pennington, his friends,
were to assist his wife "in gathering in the esta:,,~ from
abroad and advising and helping her disposing of it when
at home." (N. E. His. & Gen. Rec. Vol. 44, p58.) A grant
of 3,000 acres in South Carolina was made to him Decem-
-4.f !3
ber 13, 1680. His son started for South Carolina about
that time, but died on the way over and ,vas buried at sea.
The father appears at that date to have been in England,
but later was again in South Carolina in the movement to
establish a colony of which he was one of the leaders.

• Owned property: 1761, Virginia, British Colonial America; 276 acres, head of Grassy Lick Run, Calfpasture, purchased from John Ward
• Will: 6 Feb 1787, Rockbridge, Virginia

Notes:

Joseph Walkup (Vachub) 1719-1787 purchased 378 acres on the Calfpasture River for five shillings, the equivelancy to about 83 cents at today's money. Who would not wish to purchase this fertile valley land, now, at such a price? Joseph lived most of his life in Augusta County. But, when his will was written, he lived in Rockbridge, due to boundary changes.

During Joseph's life, on the Calfpasture, important historical events occurred. He lived through the French and Indian Wars, in which much of the western frontier was violently assaulted. He must have endured having neighbors and, perhaps family, killed and carried away by marauding Indians. When Joseph was about 49, the Ottawa Chief, Pontiac, led a spring uprising against the frontier in which hundreds of colonists along the western frontier were killed. Joseph's valley was no exception to these incursions. In 1765 Joseph turned in a report for provisions and impressed horses for the use of the militia. This indicates that he aided those frontiersmen who protectyed the borders of western Virginia from Indian invasions. A niece to Joseph's sister, Margaret (Walkup) Gay, declared that there was a stockade on the Calfpasture during the French and Indian War. Such a fortification would have made for close ineraction among all Calfpasture residents.

Before Joseph and his family had time to recuperate from war, disruption began anew. According to one source, Walkups were born soldiers and their names were found on the Virginia rolls in all her struggles. All the Walkups participated in the American Revolution. A 1783 record credits to Joseph; 22 horses hire, 5 bushels oats, 5 buschels corn, all as aid to the war. Joseph's son, John, fought with Francis Marion who took from the Bristish much of South Carolina. Joseph's brother, James Alexander became a Captain.

Joseph's will was written in 1784. Money that he left was both actual and due debts, equaling around 700 dollars. He left personal items to his daughters, granddaughters and grandsons. He left his large Bible to his daughter Rebecka. Joseph left 300 acres of land to his son, Robert, and 48 acres with the dwelling house, meadow and orchard to grandson, Nathaniel Walkup 1777-1850. Relatives, James Steavenson and Joh Gay were appointed Executors. Witesses included Brasten Castham, Samuel Corrick and Matthew Vachub. It is not what Joseph left that is so important, but the simple fact that he left it in written form. His will helps to identify relationships between early Rockbridge families as well as to identify those family members that relocated to other parts.

Following the death of their father, Robert (1748-1824) and Christopher (1744-1818) moved to the Greenbrier Valley. It is said they visited that area before the Revolution. Apparently, they liked what they found. Robert sold his land, or a portion of it, to John Sterrit, according to Rockbridge records. Robert moved his family to Greenbrier County, West Virginia and lived, eventually, in the Meadow Bluff area. His son Nathaniel married Margaret Moore and raised his family in Greenbrier and Nicholas Counties in West Virginia.
