From here THE DAVID HERD STORY
born 1836 in Branston, Lincolnshire At the age of 15 in 1851 David Herd was apprenticed to William Hunt a draper and malster in New Sleaford. (A malster is a brewer, maker or seller of malt) At the age of 35 in 1871 he was resident at St.Giles Farm, St Peters at Gawt, Lincoln where he was farming 112 acres with a labourer and a boy.
1853 Map showing St Peter at Gawts At this time he was married to Caroline (b 1836) from Lincoln, and they had 5 children, Grace, ROBERT WILLIAM (Great Grandfather), Annie, Clara and Thomas Herbert. They had three servants. 1881 census he was described as a 'conservative agent', living with his wife and all the children except Robert William, but with a new addition, Jane, aged 7. In 1891, he was living with his wife and children, again with the exception of Robert William, but is described as 'living on his own means'. The children Annie now 24, Clara aged 22 and a school mistress, Thomas, now 20 and a bank clerk, and Jane who is now 15. They also had a domestic servant and two boarders, Cooper Pitts, aged 20 who was an engine fitter and Harold Birchall, who was a turner. At the wedding of his son Robert William, to Eliza Frood in Doncaster in 1887 David's occupation was described as an Estate Agent. David Herd and Caroline Brummitt were married in Lincoln St. Mary Magdalen on 25th January 1858 Lady Magdalen in shadow of Cathedral
Lady Magdalen in shadow of Cathedral
Another document shows David HERD as the Secretary/Manager of the Conservative Working Mens Club at 45 Beaumont Fee, Lincoln. The assumption is that ROBERT HERD (1801-1880) is the father of David and grandfather of Robert William Herd as there is a census document showing Alice Calvert, at the age of 9 staying at his home - The Manor House, St Nicholas, Lincoln. Robert Herd and Alice Calvert -- Parents of David Herd Robert Herd (bpt 17.11.1801) who married Alice Calvert was the first son of Robert Herd and Elizabeth - from Parish Records. This Robert had a brother named William who married Charlotte and they had a son called William who was born in 1819.
- Alice Calvert HERD (b 1861) married William Arthur Howden in 1884. He was a joiner/carpenter and they lived at 45 Beaumont Fee, Lincoln.
- Grace Brummitt HERD (b 1863) married Thomas Edward Pearson in 1895. In 1901 they had a daughter named Margery G E and were living in Kettering.
- Robert William Herd (b 1865)- is the missing great grandfather, subject of another blog and is the FROOD-HERD connection.
- Annie Augusta HERD (b 1867) married John Simmister, a clothier, in Lincoln in 1891. In 1901 they had two children Sidney (b1894) and Doris (b 1899) and living in Longton, Staffordshire.
- Clara Gertude HERD (b 1869) married Albert Edward Austin in 1893. He was a jeweller, watchmaker and shopkeeper, residing at 20, Sinsil St. Lincoln and in 1901 had a daughter named Dorothy Gertude.
- Thomas Herbert HERD (b 1871 and died 1938 in the USA). He married a US citizen and went to live in Georgia. (Further blog pending). His wife was called Alice Maud, and they had five children, Harry Ernest Herd, Carrie Flo Herd, Gladys Maud Herd, Herbert Austin Herd (b 1899-d 1987 in Florida), Denis L Herd and Ronald Herd. Herbert Austin had two children Harry W Herd (b 1915) and Glena Herd, both born in Macon, Georgia, USA.
- Jane Brummitt HERD (b 1874) was married in 1897 in Lincoln to a Lancelot Cheeseborough. In the 1911 census he is described as an Engineers Clerk, living with his wife Jane, of 14 years, and their four children, Gladys Mary (aged 13), Eleanor (aged 11), Katherine Hilton (aged 9) and Henry Colebrook (6), living at Walkerith, Gainsborough.

Alice Calvert was the daughter of Richard Calvert and Mary- and had five siblings Benjamin Bpt.1797; Mary Bpt 1803; Thomas bpt 1807; Richard bpt 1814 and Eliza bpt 1816. Robert and Alice had three sons, William, Thomas and David, and although I still cannot find their birth records in the Parish Records they are named in their fathers Will - when he almost dismissively stated that his two sons William and David would get 5 pounds piece (relative to 285 pounds in todays money) and the remainder of his Estate would pass to his son Thomas, including the Farm and a requirement to pay to Alice (his wife) an annuity of 52 pounds a year (relative to 2,967 pounds today) to be paid in 4 equal parts. It appears that Thomas never married. William unknown David married Caroline Brummitt. It would appear that only Thomas had farming interests and David was working in the drapery trade and was 'politically motivated' becoming the General Secretary and Manager of the Lincoln Conservative Working Men's Club. David and Caroline had seven children, which we already know about, although it might be worth mentioning at this stage that Caroline's sister Betsy Watson (nee Brummitt) and Joseph Pinder, the husband of her eldest sister Ann would play significant roles in the unfolding drama relating to the demise of the Estate. David died on the 25th April 1895 from pylorus and anaemia. Their daughter Alice Calvert Howden was present at his death. On the 19th March 1896, less than a year later Caroline died from cerebral apoplexy and paralysis. Caroline did not make a will and died INTESTATE. This significant omission left the estate to her eldest legal heir Robert William Herd.

According to the Parish Records it appears that Bartholomew Brummitt (1751-1812) had ten children. The first two, Dowager (1774) and Bartholomew (1776) were with Henrietta Grest, who died in 1779. Bartholomew then married Elizabeth Turner in 1780 and had the following children:
Mary - Bpt.1781 d.1797
John Bpt. 24.11.1784
George
Henry
Elizabeth 1787
Charlotte bpt 25.5.1789
Sofia bpt 16.7.1791
Samuel
The children underlined are mentioned, by name in their fathers Will – I can only speculate that the others died before he wrote it.

Austin's Creek near the Keowee River.
EARLIEST SETTLERS IN GREENVILLE COUNTY.
Owing to its exposed situation and being still Indian territory,
there were few settlements in this county previous to the Revolution-
ary War. Among the very first settlers was doubtless Nathaniel Austin
great grandfather of Hon. J. Thomas Austin, who emigrated from
London to Virginia and thence to South Carolina in 1761. He set-
tled fifteen miles east of Greenville near Enoree River and Gilder's
Creek. He held appointment, as high constable, under George III
until the troubles with England began. He then joined the patriot
army and with ten sons did active service at different times during
the war.
In 1769 his youngest daughter, Mary, was murdered by the
Indians. Being at a neighbor's house when the alarm was given that
the Indians were coming, she fled with the rest of the company, but
shortly after returned with a companion for something they had left
when she was slain in sight of her friend Miss Gilder, who accom-
panied her.
Several years afterwards her brother, Col. William Austin, killed
one of the Indians concerned in the murder, and as it was after the peace
was declared, he was tried for it at Ninety-Six Court house and ac-
quitted.
About the same time several settlements were made in the
northeastern part of the county near the old block house, which
stood at the junction of the Indian boundary with the North Caro-
lina line. A chain of these block houses or forts, were built along the
line between Spartanburg and Greenville (the old Indian boundary),
for the protection of, and as places of refuge for the settlers. Among
these settlers were the names, Gowen, Fisher, Howard, and Dill,
which are still familiar in that section.
Capt. William Anderson 1730 Charlotte VA - 1798 Laurens SC William lived in Lunenburg County, Virginia (later Charlotte County), on
land deeded to him by his father until 1768, when he sold out and moved to
South Carolina. He served in the Revolutionary War, during which he was shot
in the head by a Tory, carrying an ugly scar the remainder of his life. He
received a land grant of 400 acres in Laurens District, South Carolina, on
July 8, 1774, near the town of Waterloo. See "Waterloo: A History of the
Anderson Family".

The two lines met again later with the marriage of Adele, daughter of King
Robert II, and Richard III, Duke of Normandy. Richard I, "the Fearless"; named
father's heir 29 May 942. Married first (Danish wife) Gunnora
but betrothed ca. 945 and eventually married 960 to Emma. Richard was betrothed
to Emma for some time but did not marry her until about 960, after the death of
her father, Hugh the Great, in 956. Richard was the guardian of Hugh's son,
the Duke of Paris, and eventually married Emma to strengthen his position. He did
not treat her unkindly, he merely loved Gunnora. Poor Emma passed her life at
Rouen alone and solitary, and eventually she pined away and died about the year
962. After Emma's death he married (Christian marriage) Gunnora to legitimize
their children.

A Timeline of Purdy Events
JAMES HUEY was born Abt. 1655 in Londonderry, County Antrim, Ireland, and died in County
Antrim, Ireland. He married MARGARET ELLIS Abt. 1680. She was born in Scotland, and died in
County Antrim, Ireland.
Notes for HERCULES HUEY:
"According to Huey family history Hercules Huey, Sr. was the son of James and Margaret
Ellis Huey. Margaret Ellis was sister to Lord Hercules Ellis of Antrim, Ireland. James
Huey was born near Londonderry, Antrim County about 1680. The Hueys (Huets) left France
about 1660 and settled in Ireland. Catharine was daughter of Sir Richard Persee of Ireland.
The Will of Hercules, Sr. is on file in the Kershaw County Wills. He died, as shown
on the tombstone, in 1775, just before the Revolutionary War. In his Will he named
the following children: Alexander, expected to come from Ireland with proceeds from
the sale of Huey property there but who is said to have been shipwrecked at sea; John,
James, Arculeas (Hercules, Jr.) Mary and Eleasebeth Huey and stepchildren, Margaret a
nd Abram Adams."
Will: "...dated 7 April 1792, names his wife Mary, leaving her one third of his land
and one third part of his moveable estate during her widowhood, and at her death to
be divided between his sons Thomas and JOSEPH. He devised to his son Thomas one
third part of his land and the other third to his son Joseph. To his sons James,
JOHN, Samuel, George and Henery ten shillings each and ten shillings each
to his daughters Martha, Mary, and Hannah. His wife Mary and his son Thomas were
named as executors. The will was signed John Huey. Samuel Otterson and Benjamin
Gordon were witnesses. Therefore, the children of John and Mary Huey were as
follows: Thomas, Joseph, James, John, Samuel, George, Henry, Martha, Mary, Hannah

CAPT. JOHN5 BLAKENEY (JOHN4, WILLIAM3, THOMAS2, LANCELOT1) was born October 1732 in Mount
Blakeney Castle, County Limerick, Ireland, and died August 08, 1832 in Pageland, Chesterfield
Co., South Carolina.He married MARGARET EVANS 1755 in Galway, Ireland.She was born 1740 in
Galway, Ireland, and died in Pageland, Chesterfield Co., South Carolina.
Notes for CAPT. JOHN BLAKENEY:
"The name Blakeney is thought to have originally been suggestive of dark, or black, and
may have been applied to one who had a swarthy complexion, black hair, lived in a black
cave, or dark forest, or dyed black the skins with which he clothes himself, or led his
adherents into battle protected by a black shiel, or carrying a black banner. Whatever
may have been the origin of the name there is evidence that it came from the North of
Europe and was in existence in Normandy prior to the Norman invasion of England...
Among those who received recognition (from William Duke of Normandy after the Battle of
Hastings) was a Blakeney, or de Blakeney, who had settled in Norfolk, where the family
was in possession of considerable landed property until the Sixteenth century, when the
male ancestors of the Castle Blakeney and Mount Blakeney families went over to Ireland,
as the greater portion of their property in Norfolk was inherited by a female."
--Edgar L. Rivers
The inscription on the Blakeney Monument in The Blakeney Family Cemetery, Pageland, South
Carolina reads as follows:
Capt. John Blakeney
Pioneer-Patriot-Churchman-Statesman
Colonial and Revolutionary
Soldier Born at Mount Blakeney, Limerick, Ireland
There is evidence that the name de Blakeney dates to the days of William the Conqueror.
It has been spelled in different ways. The English and Irish Blakeneys are in history books.
A romanticized novel of the French Revolution called the "Scarlet Pimpernel" depicts an
English nobleman named Sir Percy Blakeney in an heroic role. Sir Percy Blakeney was a real
person whose 1524 portrait by Franz Hals entitled "The Laughing Cavalier." Sir Percy was
"Baron of Blakeney," Sussex, England.
During the reign of Queen Elizabeth, two sons of Launcelot Blakeney, of Sparham, in Norfolk,
had land granted to them in Ireland for services rendered their Queen. One of these sons,
Thomas married a niece of Lord Chancellor Hatton. Thomas settled at Mount Blakeney in the
south of Ireland. The other son at Castle Blakeney in the west. Thomas's son William was
granted the best part of the estate of Garrett Fitzgerald, the forfeiting Irish owner.
William's estate consisted of the 1,140 acres forming the townships of Gartnepeguney and
Thomastown. In 1655 he added 450 acres, where he built the castle at Mount Blakeney.
General Sir William Blakeney was born at Mount Blakeney in Limerick County in 1672.
He was a member of Parliament, as his father had been before him. He led a regiment
of 4,000 at the assault on Cartegena. The regiment included nephews from America and a
younger brother named Robert. Robert recruited from North and South Carolina, sailed to
Cuba and Port Bello then joined the main army and fought at the siege of Loyer, Fort St.
Phillip and Minorca.
General Blakeney as in command for ten years at the Island of Monorca. King George II made
Blakeney a knight of Bath, Colonel of Inniskilling Regiment of Infantry, and finally Lord
Blakeney of Mount Blakeney. A statue of him was erected in Dublin. He had no sons and his
titled was buried with his body in Westminster Abbey. His younger brother, Robert, inherited
the estate. He had a nephew named John, who came to the American colonies about 1750.
Captain John became the ancestor of the family included here.
About 1750 John settled on Lynch's River in the northwest corner of Chesterfield county
in south Carolina. On November 16, 1775, John Blakeney was elected a Captain of militia
and commissioned by the Provincial Congress to raise a company. The company was part of
colonel Lemuel Benton's regiment and assigned to General Francis Marion's brigade. Captain
John fought along with his sons, Thomas, John, Jr., and Robert, until the end of the war.
He died August 8, 1832 at the age of 100 and is buried in the Blakeney graveyard near
Pageland, South Carolina.
Captain John's descendent helped to settle the frontiers of this country. They have been
prominent in service occupations including the military, education, medicine, politics,
and law. They had one thing in common--an honorable name.

continued obtaining land grants and owned considerable property in the northwest section

Death: Mar. 11, 1851

Georgia, USA
Aug. 21, 2015-I did some research on T. H. Austin. I believe this is Thomas Henry Austin
who was born April 26, 1784, Ninety-Six, Greenwood, South Carolina and died March 11, 1851
in Dekalb County, Georgia. He was the son of Sgt. Nathaniel Austin, Jr. and Sara Ann
Anderson Austin.
On Oct. 1804, T.H. Austin married Susannah "Susan" Welch in Greenville, Greenvile
District, South Carolina.
The names of the children of Thomas and Susan Austin are John Cooper, Nancy C., William
Allen, Mary Ann "Polly" (Mrs. Joel Cornelius Atkins, Sr.) and Dr. Nathaniel Hawkins Austin.
I discovered why Thomas Henry Austin was buried in the Isaac Towers Family Cemetery.
Isaac Towers wife was an Atkins. T.H. Austin's daughter, Mary Ann "Polly' married Joel
Cornelius Atkins, Sr. There is a Thomas Atkins/ Akins that witnessed Isaac Towers will
in 1851 and died intestate in 1871. This could be Isaac Tower's brother- in- law.
Joel C. Atkins, Sr. could be another brother or nephew of Elizabeth Atkins Towers.
The Hairston family connection lies with the family line of Joel Cornelius Atkins, Sr.
and Mary Ann "Polly" Austin Atkins. Their son, Rev. James A. Austin married Lona P.
Greene, daughter of Sarah Hairston Greene who was the daughter of Thomas Oscar Hairston,
brother to William Judge Hairston.
Note: T.H. Austin 1851 rough field stone, crudely inscribed. This info was recorded Jan. 2, 1932
by Franklin Garrett, Atlanta's historian, in his cemetery records.

Thomas Henry Austin I
1784 Caswell NC - 1851 DeKalb GA
Handcarved headstone shows 1784-1851 Buried Towers family cemetery (a part of his old plantation)
now Hidden Valley Road off Covington Highway
Thomas was the youngest son of Nathaniel Austin of Pendleton SC and his wife Sarah Ann Anderson Austin
and grandson of Captain Nathaniel Austin of Gilder Plantation SC.
When Thomas was about three months old, Nathan and Sara Ann moved from NC to Abbeville SC. In July of 1784
we find Nathaniel Austin, William Gilbert and Martin J. Williams have posted 2,000 lbs bound to serve as
the administrators of the estate of James Messer.
Thomas Henry appears in the 1830 Dekalb census surrounded by the Harris family.
Thomas Henry Austin I unlike his older brothers in Gwinnett county was a missionary Baptist. He was
deacon of the Indian Creek Baptist Church according to the church history written by Franklin Smith
He married Susan Wyche 1789 SC-1857 Dekalb GA. She is buried at Towers Cemetery with her husband

Richard Saltonstall was descended from Robert de Saltonstall who held lands in Warley, near Halifax,
Yorkshire in 1274.[1] He was the son of Gilbert Saltonstall, a cloth merchant of Halifax, who owned
lands in Hipperholme. For a time, Richard lived in the Netherlands, where he was a member of the
Company of Merchant Adventurers of London; by 1585, he had become the director of the company.
He was also affiliated with the Muscovy Company, the Levant Company, and the English East India
Company. Richard had a long political career serving the city of London. He was a member of the
city council by 1583, a Member of Parliament in 1586, and an alderman by 1588. He served as
Sheriff of the City of London for 1589 and was elected Lord Mayor of London for 1597. He
served as master of the Skinners Company in 1589, 1593, 1595-6, and 1599-1600. He was
knighted in 1598.[2] Sir Richard's mansions were at "Mynchenlane," London, Moorhall in
Hertfordshire, and South Ockendon near Rumford in Essex.
He married Susannah Poyntz, only daughter of Thomas Poyntz, Esq. of South Ockendon; together
they had seven sons and nine daughters (in addition to at least one illegitimate daughter
fathered by Richard).[3] He was the uncle of New England colonist Sir Richard Saltonstall,
father-in-law of Richard Wyche (a director of the English East India Company) and Sir Thomas
Myddelton (a later Lord Mayor of London),[4] and grandfather of Sir Peter Wyche (Ambassador to
the Ottoman Empire), Nathaniel Wyche (president of the English East India Company) and Sir
Thomas Myddelton (a general in the English Civil War).

2. There is a Feb 11 1873 marriage of George Turner and Angeline Purdy in Dawson GA
3. The obituary Mrs. Wilmer Alice Young:Atlanta Constitution Jan.,21 1956
"Mrs. Wilmer Alice Young of Redan died Friday in a private hospital.
Funeral services will be held at 2 PM Sunday in Trinity Chapel. Dr. Felix B. Gear will
officiate. Burial will be in the Geenwood cemetery.
The former Miss Alice Purdy"
[Note that this obituary says she is the former Miss Alice Purdy
- implying her maiden name is Purdy.
Does this mean she never married a Purdy (i.e, James W Purdy) but was born a
Purdy. There is no reference to her name being Turner. here].
"Mrs Young was born in Dawson County. She lived in
Redan the past 35 years. She was a member of the Woodville Baptist Church.
Survivors include her daughter Mrs. H.E. Herd of Tucker, two grandsons and three great
grandchildren."

This is all complete speculation and is presented only because there are NO other reasonable
candidates for Leora' father other than this James Purdy in Hall/Habersham GA. Yet
it proves nothing. It is very odd that Leora's father is nowhere specifically identified
and that her birthdate changes after her marriage -- this is not likely a census mistake.
Wilmer Turner Purdy (Leora's mother) is never shown with a husband on any census
before her marriage to Thomas Damascus Young (1858 GA-1942 DeKalb) in 1918.

Hooks:

will write to the Pension Department, Washington, D.C., you will be able to get not only a full
report of his Revolutionary service but data concerning his family as well, for instance the names
of his children, wife, etcetera (sic).
Assuring you of our pleasure in being of service, I am
Yours truly yours,

The Stewart monarchs descend from the Seneschal of the Bishop of Dol and his son, Flaad Fitzalan, who arrived in Britain in
the army of William the Conqueror. Flaad's grandson, Walter Fitzalan, was appointed the 1st Steward of Scotland by David I
of Scotland. Malcolm IV of Scotland later confirmed the honour bestowed by David and made the office of Steward of Scotland
hereditary in Walter's family. In the fourteenth century, Walter Stewart (so named for his family's hereditary possession
of the office of High Steward of Scotland), a descendant of Walter Fitzalan, married Marjorie Bruce, daughter of King
Robert I of Scotland. Their son became King Robert II, and their descendants the royal House of Stewart.

Davids in Somerset, England. She d. Feb. 20, 1678/9 at Charlestown, Mass.

French and Susan Riddlesdale, and widow of Christopher Peake of Roxbury, Mass.
She was bapt. July 31, 1614 at St. Edmunds at Assington, Suffolk, England and

Julina Whitley Thomas Collins, Widow of Osborn Thomas who died in Civil War
William and Mary's son Jordan Collins (1837-1917) is the father of the Collins families
of the Lanes Creek section of lower Union County. Military records indicate that he joined
Company I NC 53rd Infantry Regiment on April 30, 1862, along with men from Union,
Mecklenburg and other counties. North Carolina had been the last state to join the
Confederacy on May 20, 1861. The majority of North Carolina farmers in the northeastern
and western counties and portions of the Piedmont had few or no slaves and were disinclined
to secede from the Union, but with the election of Abraham Lincoln and his call for
troops to invade the states in rebellion, North Carolina reluctantly seceded. It would
lose more men during the war than any other Southern state. The 53rd fought in battles
from Gettysburg, where it lost thirty-six percent of its 322 men, to Cold Harbor. It
was involved in battles in the Shenandoah Valley and the Appomattox Campaign where
it surrendered in April 1865. After the war Jordan Collins returned to Union County
and in 1866 married Julina Whitley Thomas, the widow of Osborn Thomas who had died
at the Battle of Fredericksburg, Virginia, in December 1862. Julina was the daughter
of Addison Whitley who lived in lower Union County. The 1870 Census of Buford Township,
Union County, NC, lists Jordan (32) Julina (28) and her two children by Osborn Thomas
along with Jordan and Julina's first son Aaron age 1 year. The 1880 Census lists Jordan a
nd Julina along with Ervin (19), Aaron (10), Edmond (7), William Henry (6), and John (5).
Jordan's step-daughter Amanda Thomas had died by 1880. Julina's name often appears on
census records as Gelina which was the way it was pronounced by not spelled.
Jordan's second son Edmond (Ed) Collins married Kate Mangum in 1903, and on the
1910 Census they are living next door to his father who is 72 and mother age 69. H
is uncle Ephrain Collins (62) is living with Jordan and Julina. Ed's half-brother
Ervin lives across the Pageland/Monroe road with his wife Wincie and children Bunyan,
Ollie, and Paul. Ed and Kate have two children: Frank (1905-1957) and Thomas Warren.
Their other children born after the 1910 Census were twins Albert and Allen (b. 1911)
and Gaynell. Ed and his wife moved into the old home place after his father's death in
1917. Ed Collins owned a very large estate before he died in 1944. He last appears on
the 1840 Census with his wife Kate. Their son Allen W. and wife Kathleen Parker and i
nfant son Robert Allen (Bobby) live next door. Ed Collins property was divided between
his five children. Allen and Kathleen with their three children Bobby, Elaine, and J
anet lived in the old home place which burned in the 1960's and with it much of the
family history. Submitted by Maurice Thomas

John Medlin died in 1870 in Jackson County Illinois in the buried in
the Derr Cemetery with wife Unity Deberry below
Birth: 1790
Death: Aug. 31, 1870
Born in Union County North Carolina he was the son of John and Fereby
Whitley Medlen and married Unity Deberry from Montgomery County North
Carolina. Before the civil war John was one of the most wealthy men
in Union County and owned more land and slaves than anyone. In 1847
he was tried and found guilty of killing a young slave who had run
away. Legend has it that John and his overseer Clement Curlee found
the young man and tied him to the back of a wagon and made him walk
home. It was cold and raining and the slave contracted pneumonia and
died. Curlee was charged a fine. John claimed benefit of clergy, a
practice that was outlawed in North Carolina eight years later.
His fine was $3000 and $390.37 cost of court. That money was used
to build what is now Monroe City Hall. When the war ended and confederate
money was no longer any good to him and he could not collect on the
notes owed him he took his gold, his wife and one of their sons a
nd his family and went by wagon to Illinois where he lived until
his death in 1870.
