[NI2719] Posting by Cheryl Armstrong on January 16, 1998 carms247@@aol.com...
I am looking for the family of a Richmond Kuykendall his father died of wounds suffered at the battle of Kings MT and his mother also passed away, he was taken in by another family that took him to Kentucky along with Danial Boone. Richmond was born in 1768 his family came to U.S. and settled inYork Co. N.C.. He married in Ky.and had a son James b.dec, 1795. James married Celia Thompson 1820 they lived in Garrard Co. KY. They left KY. in 1832 for Clay Co. Mo.

Reply by Betty Kuykendall Price on June 02, 1998 .....
Richmond, of course is the son of Jacob Kuykendall who was killed in the Battle of Kings Mountain, Oct 7, 1780. According to the letter published in Dr. G. B. Kuykendall's book "History of the Kuykendall Family" 1919, Richmond was born at the foot of Kings Mountain. The river basin at the foot of Kings Mountain is Kings Creek. There were three Kuykendalls who were granted land on Kings Creek prior to the Rev. John, James and Peter. James and Peter sold their land prior to the Rev. John died in 1762 and there is no record of his land on Kings Creek having ever been sold. Jacob was the son of John by his first wife and the land on Kings Creek was Jacob's inheritance. John married the second time to Rebecca Harden by whom he had other children and a partner Joseph Harden. The balance of John's land was sold by his heirs after they went to Tenn.

[NI2729] Three Kuykendalls, John, Peter and James received grants on Kings Creek from the State of North Carolina prior to the Revolutionary War in what was then Anson County. Peter and James sold their land. John died in 1766 (the land was called Mecklenburg Co.) His children inherited his land which included other land purchased or granted with his brother-in-law partner Joseph Harden. The information furnished was that Richmond was born in 1768 at the foot of Kings Mountain where his father Jacob was killed during the Battle of Kings Mountain (7 Oct 1780). House and all burned by the Tories. His mother died soon after. Richmond was adopted and carried to Barren then to Gerrard Co., KY by
a family who travelled with Daniel Boone. This family may have been John and Elizabeth Reed who moved from the Greenville Co., SC district to Garrard and Barren Co., KY.
A look at the map shows that Kings Creek is located at the foot of Kings Mountain.
According to the North Carolina Gazetteer, Kings Creek rises in southeast Cleveland Co., on Kings Mountain and flows southeast into South Carolina where it enters Broad River.
Jacob had inherited the land on Kings Creek from his father John. John's other children sold their inheritance but there has been no record found of the disposal of Jacob's land. The family who adopted Richmond, acting as the family's Administrator, etc. may have sold the land and a further search of the records of that area in North Carolina as well as South Carolina, may turn up the deed in their name. - from Betty Kuykendall Price = genbkp@@ac.net

[NI2812] He and his family emigrated with William Penn on the Antlope from Belfast, Ireland, in 1682 to Philadelphia, and settled on 986 acres granted by Penn in Brandywine Hundred which he named "Newworke". This land is now part of the city of Wilmington, DE. He was a devout Quaker. He was a signer of William Penn's Great Charter and a member of the Pro-Provincial Council in 1695.
He was buried on grounds he had presented to the Society of Friends (Quakers)
in 1687, named New Ark from which the City Of Newark, Delaware got it's name.

[NI2817] The family name begins at Hollynworthe Hall since 1022 and became part of the nobility under King James 1. The name Hollyworthe was derived from two words, "Holly" for holly trees and "Worthe" for land. It became the family surname in the 13th century.
During the Reformation Period, the Hollingsworth family were severely persecuted by King Charles 1 because they were Protestants. Many fled to Ireland. One Richard Hollingsworth (1607-1656), an ordained Presbyterian Minister with a P.H.D, penned "A Modest Plea for the Church of England". published in 1655. (The Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England by James Savage."

[NI2819] Between 1766 and 1770 several Hollingsworth families along with many other Quaker families migrated to the Carolina's, which proved to be a mistake. The farmland was not suitable and being anti-slavery, they were in a poor competitive
position. This caused most of the Quakers to migrate again, this time to Ohio and the Indiana Territory. In 1805 seven Hollingsworth families left in one group. They split at the Ohio River, three going to Ohio and four to the Indiana Territory.

[NI2883] He came over in 1683 on the ship LION.

[NI3415] U.S. President from 1932 - 1947, the only one elected 4 times.

[NI3425] served in Revolutionary War.

[NI3440] Sherriff of Twiggs County, GA.

[NI3449] immigrated at Port of NY in 1875, setled at Yankton county to farm.
Johann Kiepke, born 1846, also came to SD at this time.

[NI3462] In 1640, Jacob, Stynje, and their baby daughter Styntie arrived in Fort Orange, New Netherlands (now Albany, New York) on the ship Princess owned by the Dutch West India Company. Since 1629 this company had set up patroonships whereby wealthy Dutch could obtain huge tracts of land if they successfully colonized the area. One such patroon was Kiliaen Van Rensselaer whose holdings included most of present-day Albany, Columbia, and Rensselaer counties. Rensselaer had his business office in Amsterdam but his home was in the Gelderland province from which the Luersens came, so it is likely that Rensselaer personally recruited the brothers and gave them land leases to ensure that they would become permanent settlers. Jacob signed his full name as Jacob Luursen Van Wageningen, the word ``van'' meaning ``from,'' thus establishing that he was from Wageningen, Holland, although some genealogists believe he was actually born in Land Van Kuyk, a county about 12 miles south of Wageningen.
New York Historical Manuscripts contains a September 6, 1641 declaration
of officers of the ship The Angel Gabriel who urged the captain to head for
New Netherlands because of the disabled condition of their ship, signed by
Jacob Luersen as Chief Boastswain. Jacob, like other Dutch settlers, was granted a lot in Beverwyck near Fort Orange on October 25, 1653. Records show that he built a house and had a garden there until his death on April 29, 1655.

[NI3469] the first to use the surname ``Van Kuykendall.'' He added the name when he reached the age of 21, according to Dutch custom.

[NI3473] Cornelius dropped the ``Van'' in the family surname, probably influenced by
his English-speaking neighbors in the Minisink and Deerpark, New Jersey,
areas where his first four children were born. One record states that after
1747 Cornelius with his youngest sons Johannes (John), Abraham, and
Petrus (Peter) moved south into Pennsylvania, Virginia, and finally North
Carolina. Cornelius' sons were accompanied by the sons and grandsons of
Matthew Van Kuykendall, a brother of Cornelius, so that the majority of the
Kuykendalls were in North Carolina by about 1750.

[NI3480] Listed as a member of the North Carolina Militia in 1770, he was also a member of the Safety Committee for Tryon County, North Carolina, from July, 26, 1775. Historical records of Tryon County list Abraham as Captain Kuykendall on and after July 1776. Very little of the war was fought in North Carolina and records suggest Abraham served in procuring supplies in North Carolina and sending them to Washington's army farther north. Shortly after the war began, he was
also appointed Commissioner of Tryon County, responsible for building a court house, prison, and stocks, and for establishing a boundary line between Tryon and Mecklenburg Counties. He also became Justice of the Peace of Tryon County in December of 1778.
He stayed in this area east of what is now Asheville until about 1800 when,
for unknown reasons, he moved further west to sparsely populated
Henderson County, closer to Asheville. By this time he was over eighty and
having lost his first wife Elizabeth, he had quickly remarried a young,
attractive woman named Bathseba. As a veteran of the Revolutionary War,
he was given a grant of land of six hundred acres by the State of North
Carolina in an area that was primarily virgin timber. In time, he came to own
over one thousand acres, including all of the Flat Rock community. There
he established a tavern to accomodate travelers along the Old State Road
used by people driving herds of cattle, horses, and mules from Kentucky
and Tennessee to the markets in lower South Carolina and Georgia.
He insisted travelers pay in gold or silver coins and only accepted gold
when selling parts of his huge tract of land. Soon the old soldier-pioneer
innkeeper had accumulated quite a fortune and began to fear for its safety.
There were no banks in this remote area or anywhere in the state of North
Carolina, so valuables were kept in strong boxes.
Family tradition maintains that Bathseba liked to dress in bright colors and wear lots of rings, bracelets, necklaces, and earrings. The peddlers served as travelling department stores, bringing all kinds of goods to frontier women in isolated areas, and they must have realized what a good customer Abraham's young wife was, with all her husband's wealth at her disposal.
One dark night, old Abraham secretly transferred his gold and silver coins
from his strong box to a large iron wash pot, an item common to pioneer
households. He then awoke two of his slaves who were very strong and
young. He blindfolded them and ordered them to carry the pot down the
road and into the forest with only a pine knot torch lighting the way. He
guided them through the dense forest where he removed their blindfolds
and told them to dig a hole under a bent white oak tree near a clear
sparkling branch. When it was deep enough to satisfy him, Abraham had
the two slaves bury the pot, covering the spot with leaves and brush to hide
it. Again he blindfolded the young men and led them back to the inn. On
pain of death he warned them never to tell a soul a single word of what they
had done for him that night.
Some time after, when Abraham was 104 years old, he set out alone to get
some of his treasure for a business deal. Taking a shovel, he left the inn,
never again to be seen alive. When he failed to return, a search begun and
he was found dead, lying face down in a mountain stream that flowed
through the forest. Those who found him concluded that he had stumbled or
tripped while trying to cross the branch, probably hitting his head. Either
badly dazed or unconscious, he had rolled into the stream and drowned.
Only then did it become common knowledge that Abraham had buried his
wealth in a large iron pot. The two frightened slaves told the family what
they could of that strange night, but all they could tell was that the money
was beneath a large white oak near a mountain stream. Thus began frantic
searches along the banks of Pheasant Branch where Abraham was found,
and some still search today.
Soon after the old man's death, stories began to be told at campfires and
hearths around Flat Rock. People travelling at night during the full moon
told of seeing the figure of a bent old man frantically digging first in one
place and then another. Those brave enough to go after the phamtom
recalled how it disappeared before their very eyes. Many have searched in vain for the treasure, including descendants of the two slaves Abraham blindfolded and led through the woods to bury the pot, but none of it has ever been found.
