Notes for JOSEPH DUKE:[j9r3m6k4.FTW]

The "S" was added to the name of Duke by Joseph Duke sometimebetween 27 March 1758 and 12 September1759. It was first listed in the Giessendanner records as Dukes upon the christening of hisdaughter, Rebeccah. He served in the militia during 1782. A.A. 2068;R9. In 1785 he was paid by the State of SC a claim forservice. His national number was 133370. (His militia service is now in dispute.There were several men by thename of Joseph Duke in South Carolina at this time, and it is now believed that the Joseph Duke who served inmilitia was another Joseph Duke). I do not show any parentage for Joseph Dukes because nothing has been substantiated. It is generally believedthat he was the son of a Thomas Goodman Duke who was the son of a William Duke who came to Charles Town,SC in 1679 from Barbados. While it is well documented that a William Duke did indeed come to Charles Townfrom Barbados in 1679, there is no documentation as to his sons orgrandsons. From the Files of Lynn S. Teague: Daniel Culler observed that "During the initial settlement, wealthyCharlestonians interested in establishing trade connections followed the Indian Trail to Branchville and acquiredland." All of the evidence indicates that Joseph Dukes was not wealthy, but he was a very early settler in theBranchville area, and he may have been from Charleston. He may well have been motivated primarily by plans toengage in trading rather than by the desire to establish his own farm.----Joseph received several royal land grantsfrom King George the Second, "by the Grace of God, of Great Britain, France, Ireland, King, Defender of theFaith, and so forth."

On 16 November 1757, he was granted "Two hundred acres on the North side of the North Fork of Edisto Riverpartly on a Branch called Tylo Branch in Colleton County bounded South Westward part on Vacant Land andpart on Land laid out to William Aldridge, SouthEastward on Vacant Land, North Eastward part on Vacant Landand part on Land formerly Surveyed for John Faree, North Westward onVacant Land. This land is apparentlythat shown on a 15 Dec 1757 plat of William Aldridge's land. Joseph Hasfort held land on the opposite sife ofAldridge's from Joseph's land.---A second grant, dated 6 Dec 1758, was for "Three Hundred Acres of land inBerkley County (Surveyed the Twenty-fifth March One Thousand Seven Hundred Forty-Eight for John Faree)bounded North Eastward on George Haigs and Vacant Lands. The council subsequently ordered that Memorials

be registered with the Auditors office to further document grants.

Both of Joseph Dukes' grants were confirmed by a memorial of 2 May 1767, describing the properties as "aPlantation or Tract of three hundred acres of land in Berkley County bounded on NWward by George Haig andvacant Lands and on all other sides on vacant Land granted the 8 May 1758 to the memoralist. Of anotherPlantation or Tract of 200 acres of Lands in Colleton County bounded SWward part on Vacant Lands and part onLands laid out to William Aldridge, SE on vacant land, NEward part on Vacant Land and part on Land Surveryedfor John Faree and Eward on Vacant Land, granted 19 September 1758 to this memorialist.-----There is aninconsistency between the original grant for 300 acres and the memorial. the grant describes Haig's land as NE ofJoseph Dukes' land, and the memorial indicates that Haig's land was NW of Joseph Dukes' land.-----The 300 acretract had been surveyed for John Faree in 1748.

Apparently Faree was never granted this land, as it was granted to Joseph Dukes by the Council, rather than soldto him by Faree.-----Joseph's grant for 300 acres was subsequently sold. A 15 May 1772 memorial by HenryFelder traced the history of property held by him, as follows: "A plantantion or tract of land containing 300 acressituate in Berkeley County bounded at the time of the Original Grant of the said land by George Haig and VacantLands, Originally Granted the 8 day of May 1758 to Joseph Dukes at the (illegible) pro money per 100 acres andby him and Barbara, his Wife, Sold and Conveyed to Andrew Govan and by him to Ronald McDonald Sincedeceased.

The Joseph Dukes land in question is the 200 acre tract on Tylo Brance, which was retained byJoseph. This land is referenced in many subsequent grants, memorials and plats.----[1657106.FTW]

Notes for BARBARA JOHNS(T)ON:[j9r3m6k4.FTW]

From the Files of Lynn S. Teague: In 1774 Barbara Dukes transferred property to Michael Dukes in a "lease andrelease" transaction (L&R Plat, Book M-4, page 303). Somewhat later in 1774, Michael undertook the same sortof transaction with Barbara (L&R, Book M-4, page 304). This kind of transaction was often used by relatives totransfer their interest in a jointly owned property, and may have had to do with Barbara's simplifying her financialaffairs before her death in the same year. This apparently also accounts for any inheritance by Michael fromBarbara, since he does not appear in her will.----Barbara's will, identified as that of Barbara Dukes ofOrangeburgh district and St. Matthews Parish and dated June 4, 1774, has survived. It provides fascinatinginsights into the times, and into the circumstances of the Dukes family at this time: "I do desire that the tract ofland whereon I now dwell which is a tract of one Hundred Acres with the houses and other Appurtinancesthereunto belonging may be sold at Public Sale within nine Months after my Decease, and the Money Arisingfrom the Said Sail to equally Divided amongst the following persons, Paul Johnston, Jonathon Johnston,Elizabeth Lemons, Rebecca Dukes and Susanna Dukes -- Item: I do desire that all the Horses and Hoggsbelonging to Me may Also be sold at Public Sale, except two Sows the one for Rebeccah and the other forSusanna Dukes and the Money arising therefrom to be equally divided amongst the forementioned Persons.Item: I do give and bequeath to Jonathan Johnston one Iron Pot and one Note of Hand due from WilliamPendarvis of Sixty Pounds Currency. Item: I do given the Bequeath unto my Daughters Rebecah and SusannaDukes, some Oxnaburgs that I have sent for to Charleston by Mr. Landal to the value of eight pounds, one Bed,three new blankets, one bed quilt, one Spinning Wheel and all my Cotton Caps and Handkerchiefs. Item: I dogive and bequeath to the said Paul Johnston all the Debts that remain due to me. Item: I do give and bequeath to

4

my Daughters, Margaret Johnston, Nancy Johnston, and Elizabeth Lemons all the remainder of my WearingApparel. I do give and bequeath to Elizabeth Lemons one Straw Bed and the remainder of the blankets. Item: Ido desire that all the rest of the Goods and Chattles should be sold at Publick sale and the Money arisingtherefrom to be divided equally amongst Paul Johnston, Jonathon Johnston, Elizabeth Lemons, Rebecah andSusannah Dukes. Item: I do constitute and appoint Paul Johnston to be my Sole Executor to do and Execute thismy last Will & Testament."----The will is signed with an "x" indicating tht Barbara was illiterate.Witnesses were: Josiah Langdale and William Mason. Mason also signed with an "x".----Barbara's will indicates that she was married before her marriage to Joseph, producing the Johnston progeny.There are no Giessendanner references to a Barbara Johnston or Johnson that would clarify this. The will alsostrongly suggests that either Joseph was dead (most probable) or that she was estranged from Joseph Dukes at thetime of her death; she provided for the disposal of the house and property where she had been living. The sonsare not mentioned in the will, and others do not seem to have been provided for by a separate deed of land, as wasMichael Dukes. Presumably the others had already acquired land from Joseph's estate. Thomas appears as alandowner in various South Carolina Department of History and Archives records.----The Jonathon Johnston whois mentioned may be the individual who sponsored Rebecca Dukes at her baptism, presumably a brother of herfirst husband, but possibly his father. Paul Johnston does not appear earlier and survived well into the 19thcentury and is presumed to be a son from her first marriage.----The identity of "daughter. . . Elizabeth Lemons" isunknown. This could be an otherwise unrecorded Dukes daughter, or a daughter of the Johnston marriage whohad married. Since Dukes daughters, after the termination of the Giessendanner records would have been quiteyoung at the time of Barbara's death, it is most likely a Johnston daughter.----A John Johnston was listed amongthose in the roster of the Company of Capt. Lewis Golson, of Col. John Chevilette's Regiment, organized for theCherokee War of 1759-1762.----Culler identifies Paul Johnston as a founder of the Branchville community.----Hannah Johnson, wife of Jonathon Johnson, was a sponsor at the christening of Rebeccah Dukes, daughter ofJoseph and Barbara Dukes, on Sunday, February 3, 1760, in Orangeburg Church.----The William Pendarvis whoowned money to Barbara at the time of her death was brother of Brand Pendarvis, whose wife, Sertina, served assponsor at the baptism of Thomas E. Dukes, son of Joseph Dukes and Margaret Hazelwood Dukes. ThePendarvises were children of Joseph Pendarvis, who never married, and a black woman named Parthena.----The1790 census of Orangeburg District contains the names of several Johnstons living in the District, some in theBranchville area, and Barbara's first husband may well have been of that family.

From the Files of Lynn S. Teague: The maiden name of George's mother, Barbara, is unknown. However,George Alexander Duke's name suggests that it might have been Alexander. Unrecorded pre-revolutionaryplats inSC include the following Alexanders: Alexander (7 plats), George (1 plat), James (1 plat), John (1plat), Jonathon (1 plat), Robert (2 plats), and Samuel (1 plat).----Joseph Alexander was among those from

5

Orangeburgh District who opposed being drafted by the revolutionary-era Council of Safety.----RainyAlexander was in the 1790 census in the Orangeburgh District, South, with 1 adult male, 1 male under 16, 3females, and 1 slave.----George Dukes enlisted in the Third Regiment on 20 July, 1777, N. A.853. (Sameregiment as Thomas E. Dukes; commanded by Col. William Thomson). This is the last reference that can beconfidently associated with George Alexander Dukes.George Alexander is not mentioned in the will of Barbara Dukes, his mother, and he does not appear insubsequent South Carolina records. A search of the South Carolina Department of Archives and Historyrecords showed that no land grants in Orangeburgh District are recorded in his name, and his name is nevergiven as holding property adjacent to others who held land in the area.

[j9r3m6k4-dukes.FTW]

From the Giessendanner record - dated 1751: "On Sunday, June 2nd, in Orangeburgh Church, Thomas, son ofJoseph and Margaret Duke; born 4th September last. Susceptr: David Rumph, Ulrich Roth, Sertina, wife ofBrand Pendarvis."

He enlisted in the Third Regiment of the militia on 24 July 1776. P.I;N.A.853. Source: Roster of SC Patriots inthe American Revolution by Moss.

From the files of Lynn S. Teague: Brand Pendarvis (sponsor at Thomas' baptism) was a son of Joseph Pendarvisand a slave, Parthena, whom he did not marry. Brand also married Cahtarina Rumph. Brand's brother, William,married Catherine Pfund (Pound). Mary Pfund, wife of Jacob, was a sponsor at the baptism of Rebecca Dukes.Brand's sister, Elizabeth, married Jacob Ziegler. The Rumphs were later neighbors of Dukes land in theBranchville area, and this suggests that the family was already ? in that area.----Thomas Duke...told hisgrandchildren of involvement in the fighting with the British in the Orangeburg Town Square. However, anotherreference suggests that his allegiance may not have been divided. A Thomas Dukes is listed among the privatesserving 101 days in Col. Robert Ballingall's Regiment, Colleton County Militia. This was a Tory regiment drawnin part from local residents in the area below Orangeburgh Township. Ballingall owned land adjacent to Joseph

6

Hasfort and was a neighbor of the Dukes family.-----Thomas Dukes had a survey made for 100 acres of land thatwas ultimately not granted. It was described only as situated in Orangeburg District, Waters of Edisto, andlandmarks (gum trees, etc.) do not permit isolating the location.----In the 1790 cenus Thomas Dukes was listed ashaving in his household 1 male less than 16 years old, 5 females, and no slaves in his household. At least 4 of thefemales are presumed to be daughters, but a name is known for only one.----In 1800, he was listed as more than45 years old, and was ? with a male 10-16 years old, 2 females 10 or younger, and 1 female 10-16 years old.----In1810, he is again listed as being more than 45 years old. He was ? with a male under the age of 10, a male 16-26years old, and 2 females 16-16 years old. These figures suggest that one of his daughters and her husband, with ayoung male child, were in the household since none of Thomas' children would have been under 10 at this time.Census neighbors of Thomas in the 1810 census included D. Partick, Wm. Burns and Metz, Chevilette andDerrick families.----Buried, we think, on the old Archie (A. L.) Dukes property on the Cattle Creek Road.Information on this individual is from H. R.

Thomas Edmond Dukes

Thomas Edmond Dukes (14 Sep 1750 - 1846), married Sarah (1760 - 1840). A Duke family genealogy in theSalley Archives lists Thomas’ wife as “Sara Bruce (decendent of Robert Bruce).” No source is given for thisinformation, or for alternative versions identifying his wife as Sarah Syphreet. Sarah Bruce and Sarah Syphreetcould, of course, be the same individual, listed variously by maiden name and that of a previous marriage.However, Syphrett family researchers have been unable to identify any potential parentage for a Sarah Syphrettwho might have married Thomas.

Thomas Duke, born 4 Sep 1750, died 1836, enlisted in the Third Regiment on 24 July 1776. (P.I.; N.A.853).189Thomas Dukes told his granchildren of involvement in the fighting with the British in the Orangeburgh townsquare.190

However, another reference suggets that his allegiance may not have been undivided; a Thomas Dukes is listedamong the privates serving 101 days in Col. Robert Ballingall's Regiment, Colleton County Militia.191 This wasa Tory regiment drawn in part from local residents in the area below Orangeburgh Township. Ballingall hadobtained 500 acres in Colleton County from John Pendarvis192 and another 1,400 from Joseph Hasfort,193 andso was a large landowner in the area.

Thomas Dukes had a survey made for 100 acres of land that was ultimately not granted. It was described only assituated in Orangeburgh District, Waters of Edisto, and the listed landmarks (gum trees, for example) do notpermit isolating the location.

In the 1790 census Thomas Dukes was listed as having in his household 1 male less than 16 years old, 5 females,and 7 slaves in his household. At least 4 of the females are presumed to be daughters, but a name is known foronly one. In this census his nearest neighbor was Andrew Govan, who purchased Joseph’s second grant. Govanlived at the Oak Grove Plantation along the Orangeburg-Branchville highway in the Rowesville area, eight milessouth of Orangeburg.194 Thomas Edwards and David Crum owned land near that of Abraham Hazelwood, about2 miles south of Rowesville. Accordingly, we can conclude that Thomas may have lived in that same area,although perhaps not immediately adjacent. He might have been living on lands inherited from AbrahamHazelwood, who had owned very substantial properties just over 2 miles south of Rowesville.

In 1800, Thomas Dukes was listed as more than 45 years old, and was living with a male 10-16 years old, 2females 10 or younger, and 1 female 10-16 years old.

It has been suggested that Thomas Edmund Dukes I is buried on the old Archie (A.L.) Dukes property on theCattle Creek Road.

Some researchers believe that the maiden name of this Sarah is Bruce - the daughter of Robert Bruce. Noverification has been found. Syphrett is believed to be her married name with Thomas Edmund Dukes being hersecond husband. The Syphrett researchers have not found a Sarah Syphrett born into their family in this timeperiod which leads to the speculation that Syphrett was her married name.

Notes for THOMAS EDMUND DUKES, JR.:[thebob.FTW]


Thomas E. Duke settled on the Dukes Plantation near Branchville, SC and raised a large family there. In theAbraham Samuel Dukes lineage a brother Isaac and a sister, Elizabeth, were noted. Thomas Dukes met his wife,Ann Ailer, while visiting cousins in North Carolina. The actual legend of Thomas Dukes related that he went toNorth Carolina to visit his father, Taylor Duke, and that he met and married his wife, Ann Ailer, while there. Hesupposedly remained on his father's farm and raised a large family there. The legend also states that his sister,Elizabeth and her husband, Frederick Syfrett, joined him there as did his brother, Isaac, who was not married. NoTaylor Duke has been found in North Carolina with a son, Thomas, and it is known that his children were born inBranchville, SC. So it is apparent that this legend is more fiction than fact. The only true part is that he did makea trip to North Carolina for whatever reason and he did marry a wife, Ann Ailer. Most researchers believe that hemay have gone to North Carolina to visit a cousin, and this seems to be the most likely explanation, although noconnection has been found between Dukes of South Carolina and the Duke Family of North Carolina as yet. Butthis leads to some speculation that Joseph Duke may have come from North Carolina rather than Charleston, SC.However, nothing has been found to substantiate this.

Thomas Edmund Dukes II

Joseph Dukes’ grandson, Thomas Edmund Dukes II, married Ann Ayler, who family tradition says was from theNeuse River area of North Carolina. The Ayler family is discussed in an appendix. The earliest recorded Ayler inVirginia owned land adjacent that of Col. Henry Duke.

Thomas Edmond Dukes served in the Revolutionary War, and is listed, with his brother George, among soldiersof the 3rd South Carolina Regiment stationed at Fort Sullivan and later Fort Moultrie.233

Thomas and Anne lived northeast of Branchville, between Penn Branch and the road to Bowman, and are buriedthere in the old Dukes cemetery.234 This has become known as the old Dukes plantation, but it is unclear whenthe property came into the family.

According to family oral tradition, Thomas met Ann on a visit to her home area on the Neuse River area in NorthCarolina. It is sometimes said that he was visiting family there.Several Branchville area families closelyassociated with the Dukes and Syphrett families, the Risher and Byrd families, are from the Neuse River area inLenoir County, NC, obtaining their earliest grant in the Orangeburgh SC area in 1785 (Risher). However, theearliest known marriage that would have created a family relationship for Thomas with those families is later thanhis marriage to Ann.

Ann survived Thomas E. Dukes II, and is recorded in the 1850 U.S. census at the age of 60 with $1500 realestate, 5 household members, and 7 slaves.

C., 16 Sept. 1911 (Sat.)

OBITUARY: DUKE-- William P. Dukes was born August 21, 1839 and died September 13, 1911. Brother Dukeswas one of the old land-marks of Rowesville, S. C., having lived there about forty years. He was a very quietperson, rather reticent, never saying much, but was almost always right on the great moral questions of the day.He was not always understood, yet no one could doubt his honesty and conscientiousness. On the surface of hislife some looked upon him as being rather abrupt, and thoughtless of the feelings of others, but he would notintentionally do any one an injustice or wrong. Deep down in his heart there was a kindly feeling for every one.

14

Some good people are not always understood, he was one of them. He always met his financial obligations to theChurch, even when he was financially strainted - his Church was not forgotten. He joined the Methodist Church inhis early life, and was converted in 1869. Brother Dukes suffered very much the last few weeks of his illness, butno murmur escaped his lips. It was my pivilege to visit him many times during his last sickness. I always foundhim resigned, even willing to die if it was the Lord's will. We buring him in the New Hope Cemetery, there toawait the resurrection morn. -- From the Southern Christian Advocate, March 14, 1912 (Submitted by CarolynCauthenAuvil)

Notes for ELIZABETH HAYDEN TAYLOR:THE HAYDENS AND THEIR NAME

The name of Hayden is said to have derived from the town of Heydon, in the county of Norfolk, wherethe family made it's home at an extremely early date. It is found on ancient records in the various forms ofHeydon, Hayden, Haiden, Heiden, Heyton, Haydens, and Hayden, of which the last is the most generallyaccepted form of the name today.

The family is claimed by some authorities to have been of Norman extraction but this is not certain. One ofthe earliest records of the family was of Thomas de Heydon, who was living at Heydon Hall and Manor in thelate twelfth and early thirteenth centuries. He was justice itinerant of the county of Norfolk and was succeededby his eldest son William, who was the father of William de Heydon, his heir, and Judge John de Heydon ofDevonshire, the last of whom was the ancestor of the noted Devonshire branch of the family.

William, eldest son and heir of William, died about 1307 and was succeeded by his eldest son Simeon, whowas the father of David, his heir, and Sir Richard Heydon, who was killed in the wars with France about 1370and was the ancestor of the Hertfordshire line of the Heydons or Haydens.

David, eldest son of Simeon, had issue by his wife Margarette of a son Hugh, who married Alice Loverds andhad, among others, William, who married Isabel Moore and was succeeded by his eldest son Robert, whomarried Cecily Culton and had William, who married Jane Warren and made his home at Baconsthorp, nearthe ancestral seat in Norfolk County.
