|
| 462 | John Baldridge died in Martic Township, Lancaster P.A. Buried: at Chestnut Level: Presbyterian Church. Married at St. Ann's Cathedral in Ulster Ireland. John did not emigrate with his parents and siblings in 1730. He stayed behind, possibly to settle his Father's estate, and married Rebekah. Another source says he stayed in Ireland with his grandfather, Sir James Holmes, at Sir James' insistance, and that he came to America only after Sir James' death. Whatever the case, John and Rebekah finally joined John's family in America in 1737, arriving in Philadelphia aboard "The Village Belle". The couple already had their first 2 children at this time, and their 3rd child was born the same year they emigrated. They colonized land in Martic Township in southern Lancaster County just a few miles northwest of John's parents. At some point, Rebekah's name was changed to the more common spelling of 'Rebecca'. Most documents pertaining to her list the new spelling. In about 1765, John, along with some of his sons and his younger brother, Alexander, traveled to North Carolina and bought acreage in Old Mecklenburg County (northwest of the present-day City of Charlotte). An abstract, dated 13 May 1765, attesting to the purchase by John Baldrige of land along Indian Camp Creek and the Catawba River, can be found in Tryon-Lincoln County Deeds, Volume 1, Pages 670-671. Three other deeds involving similar purchases or rentals of land in that area by John Baldrige appear on pages 155-159 of Volume 4, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, Deed Abstracts. John returned to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, only to die there in late July 1766 before he could relocate his family to North Carolina. John Baldrige's Last Will and Testament, dated 15 July 1766 and filed for probate on 31 July 1766, was recorded in Will Book "B", Volume 1, Page 448, Official Records of Lancaster County. It is generally considered that John Baldrige was buried in the cemetery of Chestnut Level Presbyterian Church, although there is no known tombstone there bearing his name. | Baldridge, John (I994)

The unit was designated Company B, 34th Regiment NC and entered Confederate service at Camp Mangum on January 1, 1862. In late April the the 34th was sent to Virginia where it was eventually assigned to Pender's Brigade of A.P. Hill's division. After Lee's Army of Northern Virginia turned back the Federals at Fredericksburg in December 1862 the Sandy Run Yellow Jackets and rest of the 34th went into winter quarters at Camp Gregg on the Rappahannock. John was dropped from the rolls on April 10, 1864 for uncertain reasons, probably died of illness since he was reported absent sick during much of" his period of service. | Bridges, John H. (I7681)
|
| 467 | John Greene removed early to Samen (Salsbury) County, town of Wiltshire, and was married there at St. Thomas' Church, November 4, 1619 to Joanne Tattershall. John Greene was styled "Mr." and "Gentleman" and practiced surgery sixteen years. On April 6, 1635, he registered for embarkation at Hampton, England, with his wife and six children, in the ship James of two hundred tons, Willam Cooper, Master. Voyage fifty-eight days.

First professional and for many years, the only medical man in Providence plantation. First wife Joanne died soon after going to Rhole Island. Supposed to be buried at Connimicut, Old Warwick. Removed to Warwick, 1642-3. John Green was a prominent man in the public affairs of the town and colony, and enjoyed the confidence and respect of his associates through long and active political life, holding office almost continuously until summer before he died, when he refused to accept office of commissioner, though repeatedly urged thereto. Died and buried at Connimicut, Old Warwick, beside his first wife, in the first week of January, 1659. August 1, 1637, "Mr. John Greene of New Province, bound to quarterly court, first Tuesday of seventh month next, for speaking contemptuously of magistrates in one hundred marks."

| 472 | John L. and Patience Hardin Gladden lived above Shelby, NC on the 1st Broad River near Double Shoals and Lithia Springs. From notes of P. Cleveland Gardner written in the early 1930's: According to reliable family tradition John L. Gladden was born in South Carolina, probably just across state line adjoining Cleveland County, North Carolina, and his mother died when he was ten (10) days old, leaving him with his father. And his father placed him with James Lucus and wife Rebecca Lucus. In the old family bible of John L. Gladden, now in the possession of his grandson, Ansil C. Gladden of Blacksburg, South Carolina, Route #1, we find the following record in the hand writing of John L. Gladden, to wit: "Rebecca Lucus died July 26, 1838, age 73 years"; "James Lucus died November 19, 1841, age 78 years, 7 months, and 14 days". It is not known at present time just where this Lucas family lived. However it is possible that the Lucas family lived at the old Botts homestead some three miles north of Shelby in Cleveland County, since there is an old grave yard on this place in which members of a Lucas family were buried, and in which John L. Gladden and his wife , Patience Hardin , werer buried. John L. Gladden was a man of unusual natural ability, with a mind trained and developed far superior to that of almost any man of his community during his time. Evidently the Lucus family which reared him were well educated, and hense provided an opportunity for schooling the infant child placed in their custody. John L. Gladden was the most prominent pubic school teacher, and singing school teacher, of his day. Also, he was for many years Justice of the Peace, and member of the court of "Pleas and Quarter Session", of Cleveland County. He was "attorney and counselor" for the people of his community. He probably drafted more wills, deeds, mortages and liens, and married more people, than any other one man of the community in which he lived. Following his first marriage it seems that he settled at what is now known as the old Botts homestead North of Shelby in No. Six Township. He later resided one mile west of Pleasant Grove Baptist Church on No. Nine Township, now known as the old homestead of the late A. Dillard Hamrick. Here he owned a farm and lived during the civil war, and kept post office, the office being kept in his home. I understand that the name of the Post Office was "Beams Mill". This post office when first established was kept at the home of Andy Beam on Buffalo Creek some two miles Northeast of Pleasant Grove Baptist Church, and took its name from the late Andy Beam who owned and operated a corn mill and other machinery on said creek. The post office kept by John L. Gladden in his home during the war was the only post office in the entire community for miles around. He was living here when his first wife died, and he carried her back to the old Lucas grave yard on the Botts farm and buried her there. He was buried by the side of his first wife. | Gladden, Squire John L. (I4375)
|
| 473 | John Poston was born in Rutherford Co., now Cleveland Co.. He grew up at the old Poston home on Highway 226 near Shelby. As executor of his father's estate he assisted his mother with business relating to the settlement. John made purchases of adjoining land, increasing the acreage he had inherited from his father. Personal records show that he was a meticulous bookeeper, leaving records of guardian accounts, personal business, tax and other receipts. He was a businessman who often made trips to Columbia, S.C. and return with sugar, salt, molasses and cloth to fill his neighbors written requests . After his death, his widow, with the help of her children, managed the farm and even attended to business matters dealing with the Union Army occupation officers. | Poston, John (I865)

|
| 475 | John Rives was born, it is conjectured, about 1667, and died about 1720 in Surry County, Virginia, where his widow, Grace Rives, was the administratrix of his estate. Surry county was the home of his father, William Rives, as well as that of his brothers, Robert and Timothy Rives, but all that the records disclose of John Rives is contained in the return of the inventory and appraisement of his personal estate. | Rives, John (I5699)

|
| 478 | John Teeter was born near Hamburg, Germany on the Elbe river in 1732. He emigrated in Nov 1767. He was also known as Johann Dietrich Bohm. John T. Beam was an Elder in the Lutheran Church at the time of his death. In 1801 he built a Lutheran Church building where now stands New Prospect Baptist Church. John Teeter Beam went from Hamburg, Germany to Geneva, Switzerland to learn the weaver's trade. There he met Rebecca Raynolds. She was of a good family, the niece of John James Rassaw, an eminent writer who died in 1778. Two of their sons, John and David, were born in Geneva. In 1767 they planned to return to Hamburg but there had been a great overflow of the Elbe River which caused a famine in that country. John and Rebecca with their two small children joined the immigration to America. They landed at Charleston, SC sometimes in November, 1767. Not being able to pay his passage, John Teeter contracted with Mr. Christy Eaker of Lincoln County to serve him seven years for paying his passage to the immigration commission. He was brought by Mr. Eaker to his home in Lincoln County. His faithful work so pleased Eaker that he was set free at six years and given an outfit for housekeeping. When John Teeter Beam came to America in 1767, the area west of Catawba River was included in Mecklenburg County. One year later, 1768, Tryon County was formed, including all territories west of the Catawba River up to the mountains. This county was named in honor of William Tryson, Governor of North Carolina. In 1779 Tryson County was divided into Lincoln and Rutherford Counties, with the dividing line three miles easy of Shelby, but west of the pioneer's second home-site on Buffalo Creek. In 1841 Cleveland County was formed out of upper Lincoln and lower Rutherford counties. In 1846 the southern part of Lincoln county became Gaston County, throwing the original home-site of John Teeter Beam to Gaston County. Hence, as all legal records show, John Teeter Beam never moved out of Lincoln County. The two home-sites now in Gaston and Cleveland counties, respectively. In 1790 John Teeter Beam (Pioneer of the Beam clan) received Land Grant No. 72 for 200 acres in Lincoln County on October 9, 1783, Located on Beaverdam Creek, Southfork of the Catawba, and Land Grant No. 79 for 250 acres in Lincoln County on the same day and same location. Both grants were entered on February 4, 1780. In 1790 John Teeter Beam purchased land from William Killian on Buffalo Creek, Lincoln County. This later became his home-site, about 1794, according to Aaron Beam. (see "A History of John Teeter Beam Generations" by L. Carl Beam, page 14). In 1794, John acquired the property that includes the site of the New Prospect Church from William Killian. John T. Beam did not engage in the American war (Revolutionary War); his trade being worth more at home to the soldiers than his service in the army. He well remembered the first blood shed for American Independence and many great incidents of the great struggle was handed down by him to his children. By his honest dealings and study habits he soon became a considerable land owner on Beaver Dam creek, in Lincoln county, where he run a farm in connection with his trade until about the year 1794, when he purchased the lands of William Killian on Buffalo creek, where the widow Susan Beam now lives. He built a corn and saw mill at this place where he was successful and continued to add to his means. The first slave he ever bought was in Charleston in the year 1800 when an African trading vessel landed there, and he bought Bristow, then a boy of about twelve years of age. The boy knew nothing of the English language and when one of his young mistresses commanded him to do something, not understanding her, he made an attempt to kill her with an ax. But one of her brothers knocked him down which Bristow never forgot. He became obedient and made a faithful servant and lived to be a ripe old age. In the year 1801 he built a small house of worship on the hill where now stands the New Prospect Church. This he erected for his own denomination-- Lutheran-- but as he was not prejudiced he always opened it to other denominations. | Beam, John Teeter (I5085)
