11662 When he got married in 1918 Johannes is registered as a smith. Moved from Noordwijkerhout to Roosendal on May 17th 1921 and to the Hague on Feb 1 1924. When he moved the Hague he had started selling bicycles (rijwielhandelaar).

On 1939-03-10 John registered the bicycle brand RABUR from the van der Raadt/van den Burg bicycle factory in the Hague. During the war he would smuggle messages to the reistance in the frames.

They had a house on 321 Laan van Meerdervoort, with a large apartment above the bicycle factory. "John had built a secret wall behind the furnace. There was a nazi across the street, who the boys would shoot at with bb guns, uncle Louie smoothed out the drama. The family also had to put up nazi officers." As told by daughter Ann.

After the war Holland was very poor. The business was ruined because of the confiscation of the merchandise. He thought he had to start all over again. After visiting his daughter Maria in Canada in 1948, they liked it very much, and he decided to start over in Canada instead. In Nov 1951 John and Elisabeth boarded the "Leythia" and left for Canada.

The Rabur bicycle factory and dealership was run by his son Peter for six months after the emigration. Times were very rough after the war. In May of 1952 the company was advertised in Elsevier Weekblad: "For takeover offered in the west of the country wholesaler in bicycles, bicycle parts and accessories, with excellent own brand: also large and well-maintained residential house available."

Was bought up by Empo (bicycle factory) in Vorden.

Received his Canadian citizenship in 1956. The same year, the Henderson's Moose Jaw directory - John is registered on 126 Winston Street (Churchill Park) in Moose Jaw. His obituary in The Leader-Post Apr 17, 1991 said he worked in the bicycle repair business until retiring in 1965. He had a keen interest i music and played keyboard and harmonica, and sang with the Caronport choir. He was survived by 26 grandchildren, 49 great-grandchildren and four great-great-great grandchildren.

English colonists drove the Warraskoyak from their villages in 1622 and 1627, as part of their reprisals for the Great Massacre of 1622, in which the Native Americans had decimated English settlements, hoping to drive them out of their territory.

The first English plantations along the south shore within present-day Isle of Wight county were established by Puritan colonists, beginning with that of Christopher Lawne in May 1618. Several members of the Puritan Bennett family also settled there, including Richard Bennett. He led the Puritans to neighboring Nansemond in 1635, and later was appointed as governor of the Virginia Colony.

By 1634, by order of the King of England, Charles I, eight shires of Virginia were formed with a total population of 4,914 settlers. Warrosquoake Shire included 522 persons at this time. It and Accomac Shire were the only shires given Native American names for the friendly tribes nearby. It was renamed Isle of Wight County in 1637, after the Isle of Wight, an island in the English channel. The river bearing this name was renamed Pagan River.

The original name had come derived from the Native Americans of the area; it went through transliteration and Anglicisation, eventually becoming known as "Warwicke Squeake".

On Feb 9, 1696 Nicholas Casey bought 200 acres of land from Jane, widow of Richard Gross, for 5000 lbs. tbc, according to a deed mentioned in the book "Seventeenth Century Isle of Wight County, Virginia: A History of the County"
The same book shows Nicholas Casey buying 180 acres N.E. sid of Cypress Swamp on May 1, 1693 from William Boddie and his wife Elizabeth.
He also bought the adjacent Henry Dawson's plantation of William Boddie on June 9th, 1703 with woodland of 100 acres where Martha Dawson, widow, and her three sons Henry, John and Martin Dawson lived and were to keep their rights to live.

Said to be an ancestor of Mark Twain.

11690 William Alston, also of Newton, who was a prosperous landowner, resident upon and cultivating his own estate which was of respectable dimensions.

There is some doubt as to the number of times William was married. In the pedigree registered by one of his great great grandsons, William Alston of Odell at the Heralds Visitation of Bedfordshire in 1634 his wife is said to have been (Ann), the daughter of (Thomas) Simonds, and her arms are given as "Azure a chevron inter 3 trefoiles slipped d'or") The inclusion of the Christian names within brackets indicates some uncertainty about them, and that about the name Ann is strengthened by the patriarchs mention in his will of his "wyfe Elizabethe" without any reference to a previous marriage. It is not unusual for a trifling vagueness to exist about great great grandparents surnames, to say nothing of their Christian names, and it may not have occured to the Odell family to verify their pedigree by reference to their ancestor's will, even if facilities for doing so were then allowed. On consideration I have decided to regard Ann as a misnomer, and William to have had only one wife-Elizabeth Simonds. This view is supported by Elizabeth's will, to which her son Edward was executor.

William Alston died in the winter of 1563-4, his burial being recorded in the Newton registers as having taken place on the 30th January. Husband and wife were not long divided by death, for although no entry of her burial has been found, her will in which she describes herself as widow is dated 14th May, 1564-5, and was proved on the 30th of the following month (June), in the Archdeaconry of Sudbury. William Alston's will is dated 18th October, 1563, being made probably at the beginning of the illness which terminated fatally.

It was proved on the 23rd October, 1567, in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, and is notable as being the earliest Alston will among the testamentary archives of that Court now in the safe keeping of Somerset House.

The will begins with the usual pious formulary of the commendation of the testators soul to God and his "bodye to therthe" accompanied by the bequest of certain benefactions to be bestowed "amongeste the poore" at his funeral. Then follow the various dispositions of his estate among his wife and children. He had issue three sons and two daughters, of whom at least two sons and the daughters were living at his decease.

11698 William McGaughey (1740-1812) was a private under Col. John Neville at Fort Pitt. The Daughters of the American Revolution lineage book has him born in Scotland (?).

William McGaughey, son of William McGaughey and Margaret Boyd McGaughey, was born around 1738 in Ireland. He married Elizabeth Lackey around 1760 in York Co., PA. They had the following known children:

Samuel Alexander McGaughey (1763 - 1841)

James Harvey McGaughey (1777 - 1837)
George Washington McGaughey (1781 - 1861)
Mary McGaughey McCain (1786 - 1833)

On 28 Aug. 1757 a size roll of Col. Washington's Company was taken. On this roll was No. 68, Wm. McGaugh (possibly William McGaughey), 30 years old, 5' 7" in height, from Ireland, a planter, who enlisted Aug. 1756 in Frederick Co., VA.

In 1760 William was living in York Co., PA at the time of his marriage to Elizabeth Lackey.

In 1771 William lived in the Turkey Cove in Powell's Valley in present Lee Co., VA.

In 1774 William lived on Head Sugar Tree Draft in Washington Co., VA.

On 11 Aug 1775 the Provincial Convention of Virginia ordered Col. John Neville to march with his company and take possession of Ft Pitt (to later become Pittsburg, PA). William Magahey (McGaughey) was a soldier in this company. His name is on a list of troops paid at Rommey, VA.

On 10 Jun 1776 Wm. McGaughy was the 55th signer of a Fincastle Co., VA, petition.

The 1783 Tax List of Greene Co., NC (later TN.) had Wm. McGaughy listed.

On 1 Nov 1786 Wm. McGaughey received a land grant No. 1657 from the State of North Carolina of 200 acres on Limestone Fork of Lick River, Greene Co., NC (later TN).

In 1788 Wm. McGaughey provided provisions for the militia under General Joseph Martin for their expedition against the Chickamauga Indians for which he was paid 10 14 6.

On 26 December 1791 the State of North Carolina issued grant No. 952 to Samuel Mcgahey, William McGahey (McGaughey), and John McCroskey, 3,000 acres on Loyd's (Boyd's) Creek, according to Greene Co. records.

The earliest settlers of the Sevier Co area settled in the Boyd's Creek area along the Indian War Path which led to Knoxville. William McGaughey was one of these early settlers. He built a stockade on Boyd's Creek which the settlers used for protection against the Indians, known as McGaughey's Station. This station was built as early as 1785 and was still a strong station in 1793.

On 12 Apr. 1798 in Blount Co., TN, Wm. McGaughey was the bondsman when his son James McGaughey married Margaret McCain.

William's wife, Elizabeth Lackey, died in 1804 at Boyd's Creek. William moved to Maury County, Tennessee with two of his sons, George Washington McGaughey and James Harvey McGaughey. He died sometime after 1812 and was buried on the Duck River

Much of the above information was found in the DAR application of Nellie Head Fox, Nat No 293677.

Location of where William McGaughey is buried in Maury Co., TN is unknown.

William and Elizabeth moved from York County, Pennsylvania to Augusta County, Virginia. In 1772 THE HISTORY OF THE CAMPBELL FAMILY shows him to have been living in Southwest Virginia. He bought land on the Holston River in 1774. The Provincial Convention of Virginia on the 11th day of August, 1775 ordered Colonel John Neville to march with his company and take possession of Fort Pitt. Among these soldiers was William McGahey whose name is among a list of troops paid off a Romney, Virginia.
