STRIBLING LAND IN FREDERICK COUNTY , VIRGINIA

(FIRST THREE GENERATIONS)

 

Compiled by Wm. C. Stribling, 2005

 

 

            Several researchers have documented the land holdings of Thomas1, Taliaferro2, William2, and Francis3 (Taliaferro2), among others.   There are differences in the documents which I hope to clarify herein.

 

            The first holding that I know of was by William2 who died in Frederick Co. in 1748, leaving an infant son, Sigismund.  The inventory of his estate¹  includes cows, hogs and horses, which indicates that he had the use of land although no deed has been found.

 

            The next is 600 acres purchased by Thomas1 from Abraham Pennington on July 6, 1752².  Taliaferro2 sold this tract to Benjamin Sedwick on Nov. 7, 1771³  stating that it was inherited from his father, which would have been in 1755.

 

            On the 17th of October 1771 , Taliaferro2 purchased 219 acres from Elijah Isaacs⁴ on the road from Battletown (Berryville) to Berry 's Ferry.  "Pioneers of Old Frederick Co. VA.", by Cecil O'Dell, places the tract close to and southeast of Berryville.  This was NOT " Hopewell " as stated by Hugh McIlhany.   In his will⁵ Taliaferro leaves his son Francis "the land on which I live", which would have been these 219 acres.

 

            On Oct. 31, 1800 , Francis2 sold 142 acres identified as the Elijah Isaacs' tract to John Milton⁶. 

 

            Francis2 purchased 336 acres, a part of the Alexander Ross grant of 1735, with the dwelling known as " Hopewell ", along the road from Hopewell Meeting House to Well Town , from Joseph Bond on Nov. 1, 1800⁷.   This tract was sold to George Fayette Washington , on March 4, 1826 , by Taliaferro3⁸, executor of Francis2, in accordance with Francis2's will⁹.

The Family of Ezekiel and Margaret (Stribling) Welborn: 

Margaret "Peggy" Stribling, daughter of Francis Stribling and wife Dorothy Seale, was born in Cumberland County, NC, ca. 1769, and died in Henry County, GA, 1833. She was married in Wilkes County, GA (marriage bond dated 5 November 1792) to Ezekiel Welborn/Wilbourn, who was born in Guilford County, NC, ca. 1764, and died in Union County, SC, 1806, son of Thomas and Esther/Hester Welborn/Wilbourne of Orange/Guilford County, NC. They lived between Wilkes County, GA, and Union County, SC. About 1825 Margaret (Stribling) Welborn moved with her married daughter and family, Clarissa and James Holderness, and unmarried daughter Dorothy, to Towaliga Creek, Henry County, GA, where she later died. Four daughters, proven by the will of Margaret Welborn, Henry County, GA, Will Book A, pp. 198-199, dated 16 August 1831, proven 6 May 1833 (that she died in 1833 is proven by a deed which she made, dated 8 January 1833, giving to her grandson Samuel Holderness a two-year-old black filly, echoing the 1726 bequest of a young horse by Robert Taliaferro to his nephew Francis Stribling, Margaret's father): 

1. Jane Welborn (she preferred Wilborn), born evidently in Union County, SC, 3 December 1794, died Plantersville, Drew County, AR, 26 January 1878; married Wilkes County, GA, 31 January 1822, John S. Curry. They moved by 1840 to Tallapoosa County, AL, and later to Coosa County, AL, where John Curry died before 1860. Jane later moved to Arkansas with some of her children. 

2. Amy Welborn, born Wilkes County, GA, ca. 1798, died Clay County, AL, after 1870; married ca. 1818, Benjamin Harris and lived in Edgefield County, SC. After 1840 they moved to Talladega County, AL. In later years she lived with some of her children in Clay County, AL, and died there. 

3. Clarissa Welborn, born Union County, SC, ca. 1802, and was last known to be living in Ouachita Parish, LA, in 1862; married ca. 1822, probably Wilkes County, GA, James McKinney Holderness, born ca. 1800, Wilkes County, GA, died 1860/70 probably in Morehouse Parish, LA. He was an orphan son of McKinney Holderness, a wealthy planter of Wilkes County, and his wife Cynthia Powell. In 1821, James M. Holderness was charged with killing a slave named Aaron, property of his step-father Isaac McLendon (whose wife was Clarissa Welborn's aunt Elizabeth Stribling). Holderness was evidently cleared of the killing, but his fortune was greatly reduced. He moved to Henry County, GA, by 1825; Lee County, GA, in 1832; by 1840 to Marshall County, AL; by 1850 to Noxubee County, MS, and in 1860 he and Clarissa Holderness were living in the family of their daughter Margaret Jones in Morehouse Parish, LA. By this time the family name as it appears in records had changed to Holdiness. 

4. Dorothy "Dolly" Welborn, named for her grandmother Dorothy Seale, was born in Union County, SC, 1805, and died in Henry County, GA, 15 July 1853; married in Henry County, GA, Christmas Day, 25 December 1827, Zabud Little, who was born in Union County, SC, 1806, and died in Henry County, GA, 25 April 
1851, a son of Thomas and Nancy Little of Union County, SC. Zabud Little was a wealthy farmer and left a large estate at his death. A daughter, Catherine E. "Kitty" Little, 1838-1899, married Dr. Andrew George Couch, who was killed in Confederate service at "Belle Grove," estate of the Hite family in Frederick County, VA, and is buried somewhere on the grounds of "Belle Grove." The first mistress of this estate was Eleanor Conway Madison (Mrs. Isaac Hite), sister of President James Madison and distant cousin of Dr. Couch's wife, Kitty (Little) Couch, thus Dr. Couch was killed and buried on land belonging to his wife's relatives. (His death occurred in connection with the large Battle of Cedar Creek, the main part of which was fought 18 October 1864. Much of the fighting in this battle took place on the lands of "Belle Grove.")

(My home, on land in my family since 1826, is about a mile up Towaliga Creek from the place where Margaret [Stribling] Welborn settled about 1825, and where she presumably lies buried, the site of her burial being now unknown.)

From Patricia Max--William's original cabin, built in 1835 has been moved to Shoal Creek, Hodge Park, Kansas City, MO.  This cabin was built 3/4 mile east of the intersection of Plattsburg Road and Prairie Home Road on the Fishing river, Fishing River TWP.

STRIBLING (CALVIN SMITH) CABIN 

The cabin which has been known as the "Calvin Smith Cabin" was donated to the Kansas City Parks and Recreation Department by Homer Stockwell of Liberty in 1976. The following was taken from a 1977 Parks Department flyer: "This cabin was built by William Stribling on an 1835 landgrant site and was located in central Clay County, northeast of Liberty. This two-story structure built by Stribling is more typical of the early log cabins than the double dog-trot cabin. The single structure with a sleeping loft provided well for parents and children." Sara Hoecker contacted Mr. Stockwell in January 1989 and he gave her information on the cabin. Mr. Stockwell was working for Hallmark at the time they were building the distribution center near Liberty. He was contacted by Vera Eldridge to see if Hallmark would be interested in donating a cabin located on the Hallmark land to Heritage Village. Hallmark said they would donate the cabin but upon examination by the Parks Department, it was found to be in an advanced state of deterioration and could not be used. Mr. Stockwell then volunteered to donate a log cabin on his property north of Liberty. This cabin was located approximately 3/4 mail east of the intersection of Liberty-Plattsburg Road and Prairie Home road setting on the Fishing River. The cabin, which had additions to it, was in a state of disrepair and was being used for grain storage. However, the log infrastructure was sound. Frank Vaydik of the Parks Department supervised the dismanteling and reconstruction of this cabin. Mr. Stockwell had purchased the property (where the cabin was located) from the Hansen heirs. He studied his abstract and traced the ownership of the land to an 1835 landgrant to the Striblings. Sara hoecker also contacted Mrs. Hazel Johnson of Liberty who had lived in this cabin when she was a child. Her family moved into the home in 
1935 and lived there until the early 1940s. They were the last family to live there. After they moved out the cabin was used for hay storage. They rented from a Mr. Neff who sold the property to the Hansens. The area was called the "Prairie Home School-Church neighborhood". Mrs. Johnson remembered sleeping upstairs on a feather bed and listening to the rain on a metal roof. There was an additional room on the front of the cabin and an added kitchen to the rear. Also, the fireplace had been covered and the cabin was heated by a wood stove. Neither Mr. Stockwell or Mrs. Johnson knew anything about the Stribling family. Information on the Stribling family was obtained at the Clay County Archives in Liberty. A land grant is recorded for Jordan Stribling, son of William Stribling in Section 32, the sw 1/4 of the NE 1/4. This location on an original map corresponds to the current address as given by Mr. Stockwell for the cabin he donated. The estate of William Stribling was in probate dated May 11, 1863. His will dated May 22, 1861, left his estate (which did not include any property) to his granddaughter Margaret Stollings. A Jun 15, 1863, Affadavit filed by Littleberry Stollings, husband of Margaret Stollings and administrator of the estate of William Stribling, indicated the following about the family:
