CHAPTZR VI-

NANCY Coffinberry

NANCY Coffinberry was born May 13, 1793. She married Squire James M. Gilkison of Marshfield, Ohio on October 17, 1808.
(Nancy and her. sister, Sarah, married brothers, James
M. to Nancy and John C. to Sarah.)
James M. Gilkison was born June 1, 1788. Died 1856.

In the beginning the Gilkisons migrated from Scotland to the north of Ireland. From there two brothers came to America and landed at North Carolina. One of these brothers afterwards settled in Virginia and one in Greenup County, Kentucky. He had three sons named Jonathon, James, John. He made a living by hunting and trapping. When the settlement grew more populated and game scarce he would move to a new district or region.
It was after one of these moves that the boys, James and John, were lost in the woods. It was solid forest for miles, the time of the year, fall. The boys took a grain sack and went into the edge of the woods to see if they could find some nuts. They were accompanied by their dog. James was eight years of age and John was ten.
Soon after reaching the woods the dog began barking at something and the boys ran to see what he had treed, but he was on the trail of some wild animal and led them far into the woods. Naturally they became bewildered and lost. When night came it began to drizzle and remained that kind of weather all the days that they were lost.
The father looked for them the first light, the next day he got the aid of some hunters. The third day the dog came home in the night. The hunters thought that if they had seen him when he came they might have been able to send him back again, but in the morning he could not understand what they wished him to do. The father then went back to the settlement and got together a hundred men, they killed a beef, divided the meat among them and began hunting. This routine was gone through every morning until the evening of the eighth day, when the men decided it was no use to hunt any longer and so gave up the hunt.
In the meantime the little boys were traveling trying to find a way out of the forest which contained many honey locust trees. It was upon the pods of these trees that the boys lived on as they could find neither berries nor nuts. They suffered most for want of water. Although it drizzled all the time not enough water came down for them to get a taste. Not knowing any better, they tried to quench their thirst from the water on their own bodies. By so doing they thus made their thirst greater.
By this time, little James had become so weak he could not walk much and coaxed his brother to quit traveling and lie down and die, but the brother would not consent to the proposition and he helped the little brother along the best he could.
Their feet were very sore, full of thorns; their clothing damp; their throats sore and swollen.
The morning of the ninth day the sun shone for the first time since they were out. Greatly encouraged, John said: "I thought I heard nuts dropping in the night and I'm going up on the hill to see if I can find some, you stay here." But James did not wish to stay alone and cried, so they went together up the hill.
James was now so weakened that he crawled on his hands and knees, in fact, John went that way some of the time as their feet were so swollen and festered by thorne. All the time they were out they never saw a berry or a nut and the locust pods had become so sickening to them. On the top of the hill they came to a sort of an open space sodded over and a nice log for a resting place. To the right of them there appeared to be an old trail sodded here and there.
On the morning of the ninth day three Hunters (by profession)who had been in the hunt for the boys, decided that they would get some of the deer which seemed to be plentiful. One of these Hunters, John Creighton by name, came up this grassy slope in his hunt for deer and came full upon the boys.
Little James was nibbling on a locust pod. The Hunter blew his horn and then took the boys to a creek where he broke off a small piece of corn bread about the size of a walnut and soaked it in the water, then broke off half and divided it between the two boys. The coarse bread scratched their throats as it went down and the boys cried out in pain. Little James cried for more, but on account of their nearly starved condition the hunter did not dare give the children any more just at that time.
The other hunters hearing the horn came up. The blowing of the horn had been a signal previously agreed on if one of them needed help, so they loaded the boys on the horses already loaded with deer and started homeward. The boys, when found, were about forty miles from home.
The hunters, on arriving home with, the boys, found that the father had gone on foot to a camp of Indiana some twenty miles away, which was a dangerous undertaking, on account of the Indians being partly hostile. He did not find his boys there. They were nowhere about camp, so he turned
towards home.
When Mrs. Gilkison opened the door in response to the hunters' rap on the door with his foot, and he said: "Mrs. Gilkison, how would you like a couple of boys?" That lady promptly threw up her hands and fainted. So he not only had to unload the boys, but had to resuscitate her. As soon as she regained her senses she began to make a comfortable place for the boys. She placed a feather bed on the floor by the stove, but the hunter interfered. saying: "My good woman, you, cannot do that. Put a
blanket on the floor as far away from the stove as possible. Let the boys lie on that, nothing over them. I was lost once and found by Indians and I have done for your boys just as they treated me. He also told her how to feedthem and cautioned her that any diversion from his directions might cause
the death of one or both.
There was no place on the feet of the boys that a pin could not be placed without coming in contact with thorns. They could not get a shoe on all winter, there were yet thorns in their feet when spring came-after picking thorns all winter.
The three Gilkison boys settled in Ohio. After a while Jonathon settled in Illinois at Mt. Carmel and James later at Centreville, Michigan. James was justice of peace in Mansfield for over thirty years and resigned to move to Michigan.
Caroline Gilkison, daughter of James and Nancy, took care of her father and mother in their declining years. Her mother lost her mind in her declining years and at times was quite violent. Neighbors advised the husband to take his wife to an asylum, but he would never consent to do that. He passed out ofthis world before his wife and he told his daughter, Caroline, that his greatest sorrow was in leaving Nancy behind. Caroline promised that she would always care for her mother and would never let her go to an asylum. James Gilkison had a little straight jacket that he used to put on his wife Nancy when she became violent. She and he were both strict church members and the church was very near their home, but he seldom attended on account of his wife's condition. She was a very beautiful singer.

James married Coffinberry, Nancy on 17 Nov 1808 in Fairfield, Ohio, USA. Nancy (daughter of Coffinberry, George Lewis and Little, Elizabeth) was born on 13 May 1793 in Martinsburg, Berkeley Co., Virginia (now WV), Estimate; died on 11 Jul 1861 in Lagrange, Indiana, USA; was buried in Topeka, LaGrange County, Indiana, USA.

[James Gilkison] the father of James M. Gilkison had four half-brothers and two sisters. Their names were Joseph, Mathew, Alick and Stephen Curren; the two sisters were Aunt Sallie Coffinberry and Mrs. Bradshaw. His wife's name was Jennie Williams. Jennie Williams Gilkison had a sister who has a daughter by the name of Mrs. Cazzard, also a daughter by the name of Mrs. Blue. Mrs. Cazzard had a daughter by the name of Mrs.Prowty of Columbus, Ohio, and a son named Johnnie Cazzard. A mention is made of Joseph and Mathew Curren in the Township of Springfield in Graham's History of Richland County.

Graham, The History of Richland County, Page 420

"In the spring of 1816 Mathew and Joseph Curren came and erected a cabin upon Mathew's land. (The Currens came 1815.) This is said to have been the first cabin in the township of Springfield. Shortly after the Currens erectedanother cabin. They had encamped where they intended erecting the cabin and were cooking dinner by a large log out in the open air for workmen who were to erect the cabin. One of Curren's children, a little boy, attempted to walk across the log in sport, made a miss step and fell into a large kettle of boiling coffee, scalding him to such an extent that he died the first death of a white person in the Township of Springfield." A. A. Graham says the Currens were Irish.

Joseph Curren's children: Joseph, Miller, Mrs. Jones of Shelby, Ohio; Mrs. Burgoin, formerly of Plymouth, Ohio. There was another daughter, but do not know her name.

From Massie, Evelyn Booth, Gilkerson (Gilkison.Gilkeson) Genealogical History and Archives (Chelsea, MI, Bookcrafters, 1996), pages 562-575.

James GILKISON1 was born by 1753, based on an early tax list. Burton in Botetourt County, Virginia, It's Men 1770-1777gives a tithable list that includes a JAMES, JOHN, AND WILLIAM Gilkison in 1774. This suggests that James was 21, born by 1753.

James died in 1807 in Scioto County, Ohio, where an appaisment of his personal property, and the sale of those items are recorded in Case No. 4692. A copy of the record is included in this chapter.

James Gilkison's parentage has not been proven. The John Gilkison who settled in Fleming County (early Mason County) in 1798, is, reportedly, the son of a William Gilkison . Since the three Gilkisons--JAMES, JOHN and WILLIAM--were so closely connected in the early Greenbrier county records in 1780's, and later in Fayette in the in 1790, (and all three were in the eastern Kentucky counties in the decade following) it is possible that they were related. And perhaps James of this sketch and John of Fleming County were brothers and sons of William. However, since the John Gilkison who married Nancy Davis was married in the same county, and by the same Baptist preacher as this James, it seems to suggest that James of this sketch was closely related to THAT John Gilkison, perhaps a brother. No records have been located that would prove any of these theories. Jayne Murphy stated in her letter, "Three brothers came over in 1776, Patrick, Andrew and James." Was that James the subject of this chapter? Please note again that James paid taxes in 1774 (two years before the James came with brothers Andrew and Patrick) in Botetourt County, Virginia married in 1783 and the location for his land was in what later became Greenbrier County: the county where James and Elizabeth were married in 1783. In regard to the Andrew, Patrick and James being brothers, another record fact is that a James Gilkison was a defendant in a court case in 1782 in Greenbrier County, and ANDREW Gilkison was his security. Was there a close relationship, or did the name Gilkison tie them together for any need they had? The Gilkisons are known to be a cohesive group.

On 9 September 1783, in Greenbrier County, Virginia, James married Elizabeth Currens . They were married by Elder John Alderson, pastor of the Greenbrier Baptist Church. Their marriage is recorded in William and Mary Quarterly, Volume 8, Series 2, page 198. Please note again that John Gilkison was married to Nancy Davis in the same county and by the same minister, four years prior; both Gilkisons were associated with the same Church.

Several entries were made for James Gilkison in the Greenbrier County Court records, and land records. In 1781 he and William Fullerton were defendants in case with William McClung ; in August 1782 he was assignee of Thomas Edgar for 100 acres of land by part of a state warrant for 1000 acres ; in 1782 he was a defendant in a court case concerning the estate of Matthew Arbuckle, and Andrew Gilkison was James' security; in June 1782 he was given allowance for one bay horse 13 hands high; again in 1783 James was defendant, and the case regarding William McClung , was set aside: in September 1783 he was an appraiser for the estate of James McCaslin ; and in 1785 the court ordered the clerk to grant a certificate to James Gilkinson and John McFerrin, agreeable to their claims in hands of Col . Donnally. Information for this paragraph is from Helen Stinson’s Land Entry
Greenbrier County, West Virginia, and Greenbrier county (West) Virginia Court Orders 1780-1850: also from Larry G. Shuck's Greenbrier County (West) Virginia Records, Volume 1.

James served in the American Revolution and was listed on page 33 of Reddy's West Virginia Revolutionary Ancestors, as a Greenbrier county veteran. James Gilkison was also listed in Gwathmey's Historical Register of Virginians in the Revolution, page 307, in Gist 's Regiment. Virginia state Library, List of the Colonial Soldiers of Virginia, Special Report of the Department of Archives and History for 1913, by H. J. Edkenrode, lists James Gilkison on page 42.

In 1787 he appeared as a tithable in Fayette County, Virginia, per Yantis, 1787 Census of Virginia, Now Kentucky; and again in 1790, per Heinemann, First Census of Kentucky 1790. Fayette County later became a part of Kentucky. In 1791 he was in Woodford County as a tithable (Woodford was formed from Fayette). In 1792 and 1793 he appeared in Bourbon County; in 1794 through 1797 he was on the Harrison County tax lists. In 1800 he was included in Mason County as a tithable, per "Second Census" of Kentucky 1800, by Clift. In 1804 he paid taxes in Fleming County (Fleming was formed from Mason in 1798, and he probably did not change geographical locations); and in 1806 he was on the Greenup County tax list. These counties were all in Kentucky.

His name appeared several times in the Harrison County court records in the 1790's. He was actively engaged in the civil affairs of the county: he was a juror several times, as well as an overseer of
the road. In January 1795 he appeared as a defendant in a court case, and in March he was a plaintiff. In 1796 he was on several cases as a juror, and again in 1798. In 1800 Alex Currens, assignee of James Gilkison, brought suit against Michael Isgrig. Alexander Currens was a member of the jury several times in Harrison County records. Please note that James married Elizabeth Currens, and Alexander Currens was, no doubt, a relative; he gave bond for Elizabeth to be administratrix of James' estate in 1807. Alexander was a recorder of Scioto County, and his name appears on many deed records (Evans, A History of Scioto County, Ohio; also, Genealogical Abstracts of Scioto County Ohio Deed Books ABC 1803-1812, prepared by Ohio Genealogical Society). Some have thought that Alexander Currens may have been the son of Elizabeth by a previous marriage. He seemed to follow James and Elizabeth in their travels, in Kentucky and on to Ohio. If not her son, he was probably Elizabeth's brother. He married Elizabeth Barns in Harrison County, Kentucky, 27 November 1797. Graham, History of Richland County, Ohio, on pages 385, 391 and 481, gives the following accounts about him: Alexander Curran purchased at public auction a hewn-log house in December 1816 in Richland County, Ohio, for $56.40; in 182 he was named as county Commissioner of Richland County; and Alex also taught school in Mansfield for one winter.

Deed Book C, page 402, of Bourbon County, Kentucky, includes the sale of a black girl by James Gilkison to William Harriss. James was a resident of Harrison County, and Harriss was of Bourbon County. The girl, named Feller, was sold for sixty pounds in June 1795.

On 9 June 1797, in Mason County, a commission was issued to James Gilkerson as an Ensign of the 15th Regiment. The citizens of that county kept a powerful militia unit to protect them against the
Indians. The county had a fine harbor for boats coming down the Ohio, and they also had a large wagonroad to Lexington per History of Maysville and Mason County, Vol 1, by Clift.

In 1804 James Gilkison sold a rifle gun and livestock to John Gilkison, per Fleming County Deed Book A-2, page 164. You will notice in a previous paragraph that James was a tithable in Fleming County that year, paying on 100 acres on Locust Creek, and no livestock; perhaps he sold his livestock before moving into the county of Greenup. In 1806 James Gilkison was a resident of Greenup County where he was included on the tax list.

James married Currens, Elizabeth on 9 Sep 1783 in Greenbrier Co., VA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

From Genealogy of the Coffinberry Family: Descendants of George Lewis Coffinberry (1760-1851) Revolutionary War Soldier (published 1927), pages 8-11:

[George Lewis Coffinberry] married December 5, 1786, at Martinsburg, West Virginia. Married Miss Elizabeth (Klein) Little, who was born near Alsace Loraine about 1769. Elizabeth Little believed herself to be a descendant of royalty. She was gifted with language and from her pen came forth at command prose and poetry, and her writings, if they had been cared for and published, most certainly would have made her known as a lady of letters in the western world.

An item of interest to those of this present generation was the fact that in the days of Elizabeth Little, false teeth or plates were unknown and so she made her own teeth, by taking a cow’s horn and soaking it in water until flexible, then carefully shaping it to her mouth and by filing teeth in it, made a very serviceable set of lower and upper teeth. The only fault with these kind of teeth was the fact that they wore out too soon and the same performance had to be gone through with again.

Elizabeth Little had a brother that we know of. A Mrs. Cope of Chattanooga, Tennessee, claims to be a descendant of this brother.

...

Springfield Township was organized in 1816. Its name was suggested by Mrs. Coffinberry, one of its earliest settlers, on account of the numerous springs within its limits.

...

ELIZABETH LITTLE COFFINBERRY, wife of George Lewis Coffinberry, was a blonde with blue eyes. Her hair kept its golden tinge until she was quite an old lady. Her father was George Kline (Little) and her mother was Elizabeth Truggat. They were both born in Strasburg, in Alsace, early in the eighteenth century, and were married there. They came to the town of Chambersburg in the colony of Penn, where they both died within six months after their settlement, leaving George Little, 2 years old, and Elizabeth, 6 months old.

These children were taken to Martinsburg, Va., by their mother’s sister, who reared them and where George was married to Caroline Roush, and Elizabeth to George Lewis Coffinberry. The name of her family was originally Kline, but was later changed to Little. The word Kline means “little” in the German language. Elizabeth Little Coffinberry always told her children that some day they would come into a great heritage through her people, but just what this was I do not know.
