JQ has this as the second marriage. Not likely. 17

JQ has following children:
Constant (b. 1748) birthdate is way too early for Jacob, regardless of mother.
William (b. 1751) m. Martha Ellis. This is the son of Richard.
David; Robert -- nothing known
Sarah m. William Breaden/Breadeu -- I have no such marriage to connect; reference?
Elisha (1758-1833) m. Mary Bryson and 2) Miss rogers.
John, m. Jane ?.

This seems mostly in error and other than Constant & William I cannot find any connection with my info. Need to exchange info with JQ.

MICAJHJR.txt [This Micajah "Jr." is son of Micajah "Sr." who was
son of Capt. Christopher and Penelope. Another Micajah "Jr."
b.1759 (married Penelope) appears in Albemarle records as late as
1784; this one is son of "Sr's" eldest son Christopher. Another
Micajah Jr., son of Bolling and Winefred (Buford) Clark, married
Luranna Johnson in adjacent Louisa Co. He probably doesn't appear
in Albemarle Co. VA records, but can't be dismissed totally. A
younger, fourth Micajah, is the son of William and Judith
(Cheadle) Clark and grandson of Micajah Sr. and Judith (Adams).
There's general agreement on va-roots that "Micajah" is
pronounced: Ma or Me -CAGE-ah. I tried to provide full documenta-
tion, but some of my notes were taken before I realized the sig-
nificance of complete publication data. Also, unindexed McNaught
discusses the same letter/ deed / person in several sections; I'm
sure I missed a few. LSS]


Micajah CLARK Jr. and
Mildred (MARTIN) Clark Oglesby
by Linda Sparks Starr
DEC 1998

According to "The Old Record Book of Cedar Creek Meeting, Hanover
County, Virginia", Micajah Jr., son of Micajah Sr. and Judith,
was born 12-27-1741.[1] This combination Old Style and Quaker
date translates to 27 FEB 1742. Louisa County was created from
Hanover Co. that same year; thus it might be safer to report his
birth place as "in that part of Hanover Co. which became Louisa
Co." Various Albemarle Co. VA deeds [2] prove Micajah Jr. is the
grandson of Capt. Christopher and Penelope (Johnson) CLARK and
Robert and Mourning (?Lewis) ADAMS.

Mildred MARTIN is the daughter of Thomas MARTIN and his first
wife, Ann MOORMAN (daughter of Charles "M" and Elizabeth
(REYNOLDS) Moorman. Besides various genealogies, proof is found
by the name of their first child, Albemarle Co. VA records (cited
below) and Mildred's father's will. [3] Depending on the source,
Mildred's birth year is given as 1736 or 1743. The earlier one
comes from a statement by her grandson in 1827.[4] This is highly
suspect for he was reporting something which happened well before
his birth. 1743 may be a bit early as well for MARTIN family
researchers say she had three children by her second husband.
They give c1780 as date of that marriage and c1782 and c1783 for
two of the three births. However, Albemarle Co. records indicate
her second marriage occurred in 1788, not 1780, which makes three
children born after 1788 to a woman born in 1743 as highly un-
likely, if not impossible. Without a birth record it is espe-
cially difficult to estimate birth years of women. Perhaps "mid
1740s" is the closest we should attempt. The date of their mar-
riage is equally elusive; we record it as "circa 1761" based on
the birth of son Thomas Martin. His undocumented birthdate is 13
JAN 1762; court records indicate he was born no later than JUL
1763 for was at least 21 when he purchased land JUL 1784.

We've located only one record showing ownership of land for this
Micajah Jr. -- Albemarle Deed Book 5, page 370-1: Sept 10, 1771
Archibald McDaniel to Micajah Clark Jr. for œ38 pounds, 400 acres
in Albemarle Co. on Michunk Creek and lines of James Defor,
Robert Adams and Cavills Creek. [This Robert Adams is Micajah
Jr's uncle.]

This Micajah Jr. served as co-executor with his brother, Robert
Clark, and Ruben Roland for the 10 MAR 1773 will of "Henry"
Roland in Bedford Co. VA.[5] Henry or Ruben married Robert and
Micajah's sister, Penelope. This Micajah Jr. also appears in the
following Amherst Co. records.[6] In 1763 he, his brother Robert
and "Jno Henoles? (sic)" witnessed the deed from William Hines to
William Johnson for land on the South branch of the James River.
In 1771 he witnessed a deed from his father to Neill McCann for
land on North fork of Maple Creek along with other witnesses: Jno
Harvie, Robert Hart and Rich. Harvie. In 1772 Micajah Jr. along
with Peter Davie and Jno Harvie witnessed the selling of land by
Micajah Sr. to Caleb Watts.

Some researchers, including the DAR, say this Micajah Jr. served
in the Revolutionary War and give a later death year in another
county for him. However, Albemarle Co. probate records prove he
died before May 10, 1774, the date his inventory was presented
to the Court. That the husband of Mildred (Martin) Clark is the
Micajah who died in 1774 (thus well before the RW) is proven by
negro "Rachel" in the 1774 inventory of Micajah's estate and
"Rachel" given to Mildred as part of her dower in 1788. [see Ap-
pendices A and B] Rachel also appears in inventory of Mildred's
second husband Jacob Oglesby's estate.[7] This same Jacob Oglesby
signed a security bond in 1788 as guardian for minor children of
Micajah Clark Jr. deceased.[8] Additionally her father's will,
dated 25 JUL 1792, names his daughter Mildred Oglesby.

I suspect Micajah Jr's death was unexpected since he didn't
leave a will. The inventory of his estate, which came to
œ382.18.8 1/2 as appraised by Micajah Clark, Henry Mullins and
Richard Harvie, shows "planks not nailed down" in both his barn
and dwelling house. I previously suggested this indicated he was
constructing two buildings at the same time and added this might
indicate they were about to move. Mary Stewart offers the pos-
sibility he operated a lumber yard; she added that sawn lumber
was stacked to dry where ever space was found until an order was
filled.

[Note: Micajah Clark named as appraiser in Micajah Jr's inventory
may be an error by a "hurried" court clerk. No specific ad-
ministrator is named in the papers I received from Albemarle
County; but Woods [9] says Micajah Jr's estate was administered
by his father. Another possible identify for the "appraiser"
Micajah (b. 1749) is son of Bolling and Winefred. I now turn to a
discussion of the differences between the traditional account as
given in McNaught and what the official records actually say or
don't say.]

Traditional Account

As far as I can tell, the "tradition" that Mildred married Jacob
"about 1780" is based on a letter to Jennie McNaught from their
grandson Judge T. J. Fagg. [10] This letter is dated Louisiana,
MO 7 DEC 1906:
"...The story of my Grandmother's conduct at the time her
house was surrounded and searched by Col. Tarleton's troops, I
have heard my mother repeat a great many times. The soldiers
swarmed into the house and ransacked every nook and corner for
valuables. Among the things seized was a small shot-gun which had
been given to her son. The soldier who took it, held it up to his
comrades and said that was his and he should take it back to
England, and keep it as a trophy of the war. My grandmother
seized the gun in his hands and demanded of the Colonel that he
should order the soldier to let it go, saying that it was an heir-
loom in the family and she did not intend to give it up. He or
dered the soldier at once to give it up, at the same time saying
to her: 'You are the bravest woman I have seen in America.'
My Grandfather was at the time a recruiting officer and had
gone to Charlottesville that day to muster some recruits for the
Continental Army. She exacted a promise from Tarleton that if he
was taken prisoner by his troops, he would parole him and permit
him to return to his home. Tarleton was delayed from various
causes so that news of his coming was conveyed ... It enabled my
grandfather also to make his escape. I am unable to fix the date
of this raid ..." (It was JUN 1781. [11] )

In an earlier letter Judge Fagg disproves the tradition Mildred
moved to KY with some of her children and died there: "Mildred
Martin was born in 1736, died 1827, age 91 years. Her grave is
... on the land formerly belonging to Maj. James Clark, one of
the men for whom I am named ... About two miles north-easterly
from Keswick at the eastern base of the S.W. Mountain is located
the private burying place where lie Jacob Oglesby, his wife and
many of the Clarks. At the time of Mildred Martin's death in 1827
the property belonged to James Clark, but later in 1836 or 1837
it passed into the hands of strangers."

Dr. Lorand Johnson [12] identifies Maj. James Clark (b. 1785) as
son of William and Judith (Cheadle) and William as youngest son
of Micajah Sr. and Judith (Adams). McNaught adds he moved to Lin-
coln Co., MO about 1837. She also adds a fellow researcher won-
dered if this James is another son of Mildred and "Jr."? Good
question, but elsewhere Judge Fagg says he was named for his
mother's half-brother (Thomas) and his near kinsman (James) thus
eliminating James as Micajah Jr. and Mildred's son. My THEORY the
reason this James is so involved with Jacob and Mildred Oglesby
is: His father, William, and Mildred's oldest son Thomas are
roughly the same age even though William is Thomas' uncle. 1782
tax records suggest they grew up very near each other, and
remained near after her marriage to Oglesby. Mildred probably
was a second mother to William (whose own mother was in her mid-
forties when he was born) and probably seemed like a grandmother
to William's children. Mildred's second husband, Jacob Oglesby,
appointed "Maj." James Clark co-administrator of his will along
with his and Mildred's grandson-in-law, John Fagg. Albemarle
deeds in the early 1800s show a continuing and unusually close
relationship between Mildred and the children of her brother-in-
law, William Clark who died 1800. [Hopefully the on-going
research will shed more light before the report on Micajah Clark
Sr. is updated.]

Court Records

Oral tradition only two generations removed from fact cannot be
ignored, but neither can court documents be dismissed without
some attempt at reconciling the two. I believe court records indi-
cate Mildred and Jacob Oglesby married later than Judge Fagg and
McNaught report. Actually Judge Fagg doesn't say his grandparents
were married at the time of Tarleton's raid -- only that his
grandmother asked Tarleton to let his grandfather go if arrested.
This implies a marriage (and the Judge probably believed they
were married at the time); but might not another scenario be:
Jacob's ailing or very pregnant wife, who also happened to be
Mildred's close friend, needed him at home? Apparently very
little is known about Jacob and his first wife. OGLESBY
researchers agree he married Ann BAILEY "circa 1760" or specifi-
cally 14 FEB 1760; but none who answered my query provided
documentation. The number and names of their children varied as
did the number and names of Mildred's CLARK children as listed by
these OGLESBY researchers. (In fact, none were complete and some
far from correct. One interesting discovery was "Micajah" is a
common given name in OGLESBY families of this era.)

The facts: the widow's dower [Appendix B] was taken from
Micajah's estate 7 APR 1788. Being fair, eldest son Thomas Mar-
tin Clark's marriage and permanent move to Campbell Co. in this
time frame may have instigated the division of Micajah Jr's es-
tate. But 14 FEB 1788 Jacob Oglesby signed a guardian bond [13]
for the minor children of Micajah Jr. deceased. Taken together,
the two records indicate a recent or "about to happen" marriage
between Jacob and the widow Clark in 1788, not 1780.

The 1782 tax list for Albemarle Co. [14] shows the household of
Micajah Clark Jr. between Micajah Sr. and Jacob Oglesby. Also
living in District 1 were Christopher Clark Sr. and Jr., son and
grandson of Micajah Sr. The Micajah Jr. household could be headed
by the widow Mildred; however, it could also be Micajah (b.
1759), son of Christopher Sr. or even Micajah (b. 1749), son of
Bolling and Winefred. This Micajah Jr. was taxed on 1 "free white
male above 21", no slaves, 6 cattle and 1 horse--total tax 13
shillings, six pence. This is far less than shown on the inven-
tory of Micajah deceased, but is also 8 years later. The
household of Jacob Oglesby contained 1 "free white male above
21", 4 slaves, 14 cattle, 5 horses. If the specific, but undocu-
mented, 13 JAN 1762 birthdate for Thomas M. Clark is correct, he
was not yet 21.

Mildred's Children

Based on the guardian bond and Albemarle Co. deeds (searched to
date), only four of Mildred's CLARK children are proven by
primary sources: Robert, William and Nancy (named in the guardian
bond as minors, thus born after 1767) and eldest son Thomas Mar-
tin. However, I've listed five which agrees with McNaught. [15]

1. Thomas Martin b. c1762 married 22 DEC 1787 (bond date)
Mildred Moorman, daughter of Andrew and Judith (Clark) Moorman.
He d. before 12 OCT 1811 in Breckinridge Co. KY.

2. Mourning b. 27 OCT 1763 d. 18 MAR 1831. Named for her great-
grandmother, Mourning (Lewis) Adams, she married Robert Mansfield
4 MAY 1785. The combination of her name plus given name of first
daughter, "Mildred Martin" Mansfield, places her firmly within
this family group.

3. Dr. Robert b. after FEB 1767 d. 1820 m. 20 AUG 1791 Nancy
Venable Moorman, daughter of Charles and Mary (Venable) Moorman.
Porcher and McNaught give "c1764" for his birthyear, but guardian
bonds push it back to "after FEB 1767".

4. William b. after 1767 died unmarried. [see Appendix C for will]
He purchased a 50 acre tract in Albemarle Co. from his brother
Thomas Martin 9 OCT 1788. That it is he instead of their Uncle
William Clark is proven by reference to both William Clark Sr.
and Jr. in deed located Book 9, page 486 "between Thomas Martin
Clark & Milly his wife ... and William Clark Junior ... the same
tract the said Thomas Clark had of his grand Father Micaj Clark
Senr and bounded by John Harvie, Micajah Clark & William Clark
Senr. Beginning at a pine stake in Jacob Oglesbys (sic) Cornfield
..." William paid Thomas one hundred pounds for this tract.

5. Nancy b. after 1767 m. John Eidson JAN 1795.

Mildred (Martin) Clark Oglesby's children with Jacob per Porcher
and McNaught:
(1) Elizabeth Whitney b. ca1782 married John Fagg NOV 1806.
(2) Martha "Patsy" b. ca1783 married first Edward Cox; name of
second husband unknown.
(3) Pleasant died unmarried.

Elizabeth may offer another clue to the date of her mother's
birth and second marriage: A birth in 1782 makes Elizabeth 24
when she married John--a bit old for brides in this time period.
But a birth in 1788/89, thus bride at age 17 or 18, isn't out of
line.


Continuing Questions

Mildred Oglesby is mentioned in three Albemarle Co. VA deeds
[16], at least two of which deal with William Clark's estate --
this William being her brother-in-law, not her son William. The
first, dated 20 OCT 1809, Elizabeth Clark [second wife of William
d. 1800, son of Micajah Sr. and Judith (Adams)] to her step-
children is basically her relinguishment of any claim to their
inheritance from the CHEADLES and "her right and title which she
holds in a revertionary in a tract of land which William Clark
dec'd, being the tract which Jacob Oglesby holds in right of his
wife during her life and which devolves to the legatees of the
said William Clark dec'd at the death of Mildred Oglesby ..."

Filed the same date, but executed 23 OCT 1809: Micajah Clark Jr.
(son of William and Judith (Cheadle) Clark) to John Fagg (son-in-
law of Mildred and Jacob Oglesby) "land Jacob Oglesby holds in
right of wife during her life; at her death to go to legatees of
William Clark dec'd."

This third one, dated 23 DEC 1817, includes a different tract:
"Mildred Oglesby (during her life) to John Fagg and James Clark
... rents from ... the reversion in tract of land of her former
husband and another dower tract in Oglesby's estate." This James
is "probably" the son of William d.1800 and Judith (Cheadle)
Clark -- thus Mildred's nephew and executor of Jacob Oglesby's
will. For proof these are the children of William and Judith
(Cheadle), see the will of another son of Micajah Sr. and Judith
(Adams) James Clark d.1802. [17] At the time of his death he was
guardian of the three minor children of his brother William:
Jacob, James and Micajah.
