Sixth Generation
101. Margaret RICHARDSON
*126 was born in
1737 in Virginia. She died on 16 Aug 1830 in Virginia (now Grafton,
W. Virginia). She died at home. She was buried at Bluemont Cemetery,
Grafton, West Virginia. She was a 4th great grandmother of PLO.
There seems to be quite a mystery concerning Margaret. I found her supposedly
married to two men at the same time. Researchers who have her married to James
Current have not listed William Barton Peddicord and vice versa. However,
I've found several marriages in the Current line with two husbands. I believe
the answer to this is somewhere within Carroll Manor. - PLO
RE: CARROLL'S MANOR NOTES
Moravian Community
Jonathan Prather & wife, Elizabeth Cresap of Carroll's manor
migrated to Bedford, VA
Other Prathers moved to KY - research
Many Bealls also moved to KY
Several Brashears " "
"Bright" also
Many Goughs
(These names are also connected to Current and allied families.)
Is this the answer?
"Rohrer (2001) demonstrates the social history of the community of Wachovia,
founded in the North Carolina Piedmont in 1753, illustrates the importance of
the beliefs and practices of the Moravians in achieving the integration and
acculturation of settlers of different ethnic backgrounds. The Moravian emphasis
on openness and tolerance, combined with the conversion experience of new birth,
undermined ethnic homogeneity and provided a source of communal cohesion. The
primary intermingling and intermarriage was between Germans and English,
but 12 nations and territories were represented in the population of Wachovia
by the early 19th century." [-Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia]

James CURRENT *, I127,128,129,130,131,132,133
(son of Peter CURRENT and Unk. (CURRENT)) was born on 22 Dec 1730 in Ballymena,
Antrum, Ireland.134 He
died on 15 Aug 1822 in Virginia (now Grafton, W. Virginia). He was
buried at Bluemont Cemetery on Current farm, Grafton, West Virginia.
He was a 4th great grandfather of PLO.
(The following is the story that everyone researching this line is told but there
are too many questions to allow me to fully believe it. Some of the questions
involves James Current's wife Margaret Richardson - who seems to have been married
to another man at the same time she was married to James. There are many questions
involving Carrollton Manor, too. Then there are the ancestors of Margaret Richardson
and why isn't there any proof of where James Current actually came from? Was
James an Indian by any chance? Was he known as Barny Curran? Hopefully, someone
will be able to locate the answers. Also, I noticed that many of the Currents
were connected to the railroad. This is also very important.-PLO)
As the story goes:
When James Current (who was born about December 22, 1730 in Northern Ireland
and died August 15, 1822 in Virginia - now - Grafton, West Virginia) came to
this country, he was a Scotch-Irish immigrant who settled in north western Virginia
on thirteen hundred acres of land. This is where the city of Grafton, West Virginia,
is presently located.
James had built a sawmill on his property. He produced lumber to sell and to
build an elaborate home in anticipation of his up-coming marriage to Margaret
Richardson. He also continued his work farming the land.
It seems that most, if not all of James Current's descendants for several generations,
were farmers in conjunction with their individual trades they had developed over
their lifetimes.
Mr. Current must have been a wealthy man at the time as he purchased a great
deal of the furniture for the new home in Europe. It has been said that the
furniture was shipped to American and it was then transported by Ox teams to
the home. James and Margaret's home was called "Bluemont".
James Current married Margaret Richardson approximately 1767 in Monongalia County,
Virginia. She was the daughter of Richard Richardson, Sr. and Margaret Coale/Cole
who was born 1709-1711 and died August 16, 1830. [See notes under Richard Richardson
- father of Margaret Richard. She was m. to William Pettycoat.]
Both James and Margaret lived on the farm their entire lives and were buried
there - in Bluemont Cemetery.
Family tradition dictates that James Current ( 1) was born about 1780 in Northern
Ireland though the date he arrived in the United States is unknown. As the story
goes, he had two brothers who were sailors and the three of them landed on the
Eastern Shore of Maryland. One of these brothers died but how long he lived
in America before dying is unknown.
The other brother was supposed to have returned to his "native land"
but again, we don't know how long he was in this country before leaving, or if
he had married and had any children in America.
On the other hand, it's been said that James was married and had one son named
William but this unnamed wife died and there are no known records of her.
The children of James and Margaret (Richardson) Current were: John A., Martin,
Mary, James 2 and Enoch. (Aren't there more?)
[Current Family History written by Jeff Wilfaht and published electronically
July 1999 Genealogy of the Current and Hobson Families, 1906 by Annie E. Current]
Note: There was another possible son named Hugh Current but nothing is known
about him either.
Of course, with my investigative nature I wonder if this Hugh Current is the
father of Hugh Curren who married Catherine Early. I wouldn't doubt it at all.
Concerning William, son of James Current and his first unnamed wife: Little to
nothing is known about him other than he was born about 1750 and is buried "on
the Current farm".
(There is another possible son of James and his name is Thomas. He was born
about 1759 in Maryland. Because of his year of birth and location of birth, I
personally believe that he could possibly be William's brother. - PLO)
"James Current assignee to John Anderson is entitled to four hundred acres
of land in Monongahela County, on Booths Creek to include his settlement made
thereon in the year 1776.' This tract, the "Everson tract" below present
Monongahela, Marion County, adjoined early settler John Wray and was across the
West Fork River nearly opposite White Rock." - Augusta County, Court Records,

"Monday 26, 1750-Tho I (Christopher Gist) was unwell. I prefered the Woods
to such Company & set out from the Loggs Town down the River NW 6 M to great
Beaver Creek where I met one Barny Curran a Trader for the Ohio Company,
and We continued together as far as Muskingum. The Bottoms upon the River below
the Logg's Town very rich but narrow, the high Land pretty good but not very
rich, the Land upon Beaver Creek the same kind; From this Place We left the River
Ohio to the SE & travelled across the country."
Who is this mysterious Barny Curran? Very little is known about him but I'm
still searching for info. [-PLO]

National Research Center:
"The English family name Current is a variant form of the English family
name Currant, which is classified as being of nickname origin. Surnames which
are derived from a nickname are said to consitute one of the widest and most
varied class of family names. This particular category encompasses many different
types of origin. The most obvious are those names which are based on a physical
characteristic or personal attribute of hte initial bearer. In this particular
instance, the surname Current is derived from from the French 'Courant', which
Dausat assumes is an ellipse for 'chien courant', a name for a hunter. This nickname
in turn derives its origin from the present participle of the Old French word
'courir', meaning 'running'. Variants of the surname Current include Carrant
and Currant. Even before the Norman Conquest of 1066 there already exhisted in
England distinguishing names which are defines as 'bynames'. Such names were
not fixed or hereditary, since the byname changed from each succeeding generation.
It was only after the Norman conquest that the earliest hereditary surnames are
found in England.
"One of the earliest references to this name or to a variant is a record
of one Willaim Curaunt who was recorded living in Litchfield (Staffordshire)
around the year 1180. John Corant appears in the 'Hundred Rolls' of Huntshire
in 1260. Elizabeth Current and Libbert Ashby were married in Great Oakley, Northhampton,
England in October, 1594. Anna Current, daughter of Willielmi and Annae Current,
was baptized in Therfield, Hartford, on 15 March 1623. This name was introduced
to the New World as early as 1816 in which year we find record of the emigration
of one Lawrence Current to New York."

Both Margaret Johnson Current and James Current II were in their sixties when
they made the move west. They are both buried in the Current Cemetery located

-----
The Current Family Cemetery is located on the Robert Waldrath farm on the Messick
Road, on section twenty-nine, about 3 miles west of Blountsville. It is not
accessible from any road and can be reached only by crossing the Waldrath's land.
This cemetery was founded as the burying ground for the family of James and Margaret
(Johnson) Current, the progenitors of the Current family in Henry County. They
emigrated to Stony Creek Township from West Virginia in 1834. James Current,
Sr., was the first person buried here. He died in 1845. The last burial took
place in 1911. The use of this cemetery seems to have fallen off as the use
of Buck Creek German Baptist Cemetery, a half mile north increased. Many of
the families buried here, such as the Himes's and the Cross's, have later generations
buried at Buck Creek.
The Current Cemetery was recorded in June of 1973, so the editor can make no
comment on its present condition. It was then overgrown with weeds, although
most of the tombstones were still legible and standing.

Margaret
RICHARDSON * and William Barton (Peddicord) PETTICOAT were married on 16 Apr
1760 in Carrollton Manor, Frederick, Maryland.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carrollton Manor was a 17,000 acre tract of land in Frederick County, Maryland
which extended from the Potomac River on the south, Catoctin Mountain to the
west, the Monocacy River to the east, and Ballenger Creek to the north. It included
the towns of Lime Kiln, Buckeystown, Adamstown, Doubs, Licksville, Tuscarora
and Point of Rocks.
Charles Carroll of Annapolis granted the entire estate to his son, Charles Carroll
of Carrollton. It is from this tract of land that he took his title, "Charles
Carroll of Carrollton." While Charles Carroll of Carrollton never lived
on Carrollton Manor, he erected a manor house there, Tuscarora, where he spent
a few days or weeks at a time. It was the home of his favorite granddaughter,
Marianna Caton, and her husband, Robert Patterson.
The house was a large three story mansion of late Georgian architecture, built
of native limestone around 1764, situated in Adamstown, Maryland. Originally
the mansion had 14 rooms; more were added later until there were 21. The walls
are twenty-four inches thick, the floors are oak and many doors still have the
original latches. Partitions through most of the house are solid brick. Beyond
the wide front door is a rectangular reception hall with access to the rooms.
There are twin drawing rooms and a stairway that sweeps from the basement to
the attic. Each room has its own fireplace.
The manor hummed with industry in the early 1800s with mills operated by water
power built on the Monocacy River to grind grain. Wheat supplanted tobacco in
Carroll’s agricultural policy. Kilns were established to burn lime to fertilize
the fields.
The Patterson’s lived at Tucscarora only a few years. When cholera broke
out in the neighborhood, they fled to Baltimore, Maryland, but Mr. Patterson
died a few days later. After Mr. Patterson’s death, Tuscarora was occupied
by tenants. The Manor was reduced in size by being divided into small farms until
only about two thousand acres remained.
After the death of Charles Carroll of Carrollton, the estate was deeded to his
descendants. Since the heirs of Charles Carroll were scattered over the world,
they employed agents or overseers to look after their interests. Soon most of
Carrollton Manor had been sold or leased. Among the large purchasers was Louis
McMurray, who was the first to start the corn canning industry in Frederick County.
He also canned peas and other vegetables. Two large canning plants were located
on Carroll Manor, one at Buckeystown, Maryland controlled by the Baker Brothers,
the other at Adamstown controlled by the Thomas Brothers.
William Barton (Peddicord) PETTICOAT144 (son of Nathan (Peddicord) PETTICOAT and Sarah LUCAS)
was born on 5 Apr 1739 in Rock Creek Parish, Frederick, Maryland.
He died on 20 Nov 1807 in Hope, Stokes, North Carolina. He was buried
at Hope Moravian Cemetery, Forsythe, North Carolina. He was also
known as William Barton Peddicoart Peddicord Pettycoat Peddicoat.
"Notes: He went to North Carolina in 1775, and then back to Maryland in
1781 to North Carolina again in 1782. In his youth, he was for some years with
troops in the vicinity of Pittsburg, PA (Moravian Archives) He was a landowner
in Wachovia, and in later life a member of the Hope Congregation of the Moravian
Church. His will was made 8 October 1807, and filed December 1807, in Stokes,
North Carolina." [-David B. Dlouhy]
-----
William was a Corporal in Capt. Alexander Beall's Co. in the wars of 1758; he
was promoted to Sergeant in 1758 (see Md. Hist. Soc. Mag., vol. 5, p. 284).
A copy of a letter reprinted in Moravian Families of Carroll Manor signed/from
William Peddycoart, dated March 26, 1765: "Revd. Sir, March 26 1765. This
comes to let you know that it is in my heart to become a true worshipper of our
Saviour, and I beg your hearty prayers for me to become His and I pray that our
Saviour may make it out that dear Mr. Powell may stay with us. So kind love to
you and your wife and all your friends. So from your loving friend, Wm. Barton
Peddycoart. I am in a poor state of health at present." (Letter is apparently
asking that Rev. Powell stay with the congregation; it was written to the Moravians
in Pennsylvania. Also signing this letter was his brother, Greenbury.
In September 1771, William is renting 100 acres with annual rental of 4 shillings
sterling and 1000 pounds of tobacco. This land was at Carroll's Manor, MD, and
was leased from Charles Carroll of Annapolis.
He owns lot no. 86 in Wachovia (Hope settlement) in 1779 and later.
William Bartin Peddycord is on the 1786 Taxables List in Captain Krous' District,
Surry County (present day Forsyth) with 406 acres and 3 white polls.
He is on the 1790 census in Stokes County, NC, with 1 male over 16, 3 males under
16, 2 females, and 1 slave.
He is on the 1815 Stokes County, NC Tax Lists (pg. 54) with 110 acres valued
at $250, one white poll and one black poll.
William had four children baptized in Carroll's Manor Moravian Church in Maryland;
he served in the French and Indian War. Tenant of Carroll's Manor on 1771 rent
roll. Owned lot No. 86 in Hope, NC, Moravian settlement in 1779 and later.
William's family was originally connected with the Church of England. The Richardson's
(his wife's family) were Quakers. He moved with his parents to Carrollton Manor,
Frederick County, MD, in 1751. While at Carrollton Manor, he became quite active
in the Moravian Church.
He migrated with his mother, his wife and five children to the Moravian Settlement
Wachovia, in North Carolina in 1774 and settled on Muddy Creek in the Hope Settlement,
made up largely of settlers from Maryland of English descent. He and his family
were members of the Hope Society and of their congregation. During the French
and Indian War, he served for some years as a soldier in and near Pittsburg,
Maryland (later Graceham).
In November 1780, William Barton and his family moved back to Maryland as he
was disturbed over the question of military service. By December 1782, he was
back in North Carolina and purchased 183 3/4 acres from Frederic Marshall lying
on the southwest side of the Wachovia tract.
Excerpts from his memoir at the Salem Archives:
"Our late Brother William Barton Peddycoart, was born the 5th day of Aril
1739, in Prince George County, Maryland, and brought up in the Church of England.
As a boy he moved with his parents to Carroll's Manor, in Frederick County in
the same state.
"In the time of the Indian War, when the youths of the country were drafted
for military duty to resist the progress of the enemy; he also had to march along
and spent several years in doing military duty about Pittsburg in the back country
of Maryland.
"As the oldest son of his parents, he, in a parental manner, took care of
his younger brothers and sisters, especially after the decease of his father,
always advised them in a friendly manner.
"In the year 1760, the 16th of April, he married Margaret Richardson and,
for the first, continued to live on Carroll's Manor and the neighborhood. In
the year 1775, he first moved into North Carolina with his family, and after
some years, returned with them to Maryland. Having spent some years there, he
again moved finally with them to North Carolina, and settled near Hope Meetinghouse
with which congregation he associated and was a member of their Society. On the
24th of April 1785, he was received into the congregation. On the 23rd of November,
1790, his wife departed this life.
"On the 12th of August 1797, he was admitted to the Holy Communion for the
first time. He took a tender share in the work of God in the Brethren and unity
among Christians.
"In the latter years of his life he was more subject to sickness than formerly
and got more and more trouble with the effects of the palsy. In his sleepless
nights, he employed his time in singing hymns of prayer and praise to his Saviour.
"About a month ago (October 1807) he fell sick chiefly with fevers, and
for some time could not leave his bed; he, however, recovered so far that three
weeks ago he ventured to set out from home to the house of a relation in order
to see his own sister, lately arrived from Bethlehem, whom he had not seen for
many years and was greatly rejoiced evermore to have seen her. Some time after
he was seized with the prevailing influenza which increased his former sicknesses
greatly. A week ago he was very weak already; he was removed to his own home.
This proved too much for him. He now never left his bed and lay chiefly silent.
"On the 20th day of November 1807, at 7 o'clock in the morning, he departed
this life, aged 68 years, 7 months, 15 days. He was blessed with nine children
(of whom 4 sons and 4 daughters are alive). He also has 22 grandchildren; 2 great
grandchildren, whereof 20 grandchildren are yet alive."

Memoirs at Salem Archives: "Our departed Brother was born in Carroll's Manor,
Maryland, on 20 April 1775. In the sequel he removed with his parents to North
Carolina and settled in the neighborhood of Hope. On the 1st of September 1804
he was admitted to the Congregation. On the 30th of December 1806 he was united
in holy wedlock with Mary Hyer. On 15 June 1838 he was admitted by Confirmation
to the Holy Lord's Supper. On 18 April 1846 he became grieved by the death of
his wife, who, after suffering for several months with a severe mental disease,
put an end to her existence by suicide. This dreadful stroke, as may be expected,
affected him deeply, but a merciful Lord enabled him to bear it. In August following,
his heart was again lacerated by the suicide of his second youngest daughter.
It seems scarcely possible that he should survive these accumulated afflictions,
especially as his own health has for years already visibly declined, but again
the Lord's strength was made manifest in his weakness.
"Latterly he was a very estimable member of our little Congregation here
at Hope. It was but seldom that he was absent when divine worship was performed
in the sanctuary. Especially did the Lord's supper, whenever enjoyed by the Communicants,
draw him to the House of God. He always appeared to be much interested in the
blessings of sacred feast. During last summer he was much afflicted by fever
and was thereby prevented from regularly attending upon the meetings of the Congregation.
Although he enjoyed several intervals of comparative exemption from disease,
he could not perfectly recover, and well-grounded fears were entertained of his
ultimate restoration to health. During a visit paid him by the Pastor, he expressed
his perfect resignation into God's inch and assurance that death, when it did
come, would be his eternal gain. He was admonished to be faithful unto death.
Yesterday a week he was obliged to take his bed, having again experienced an
attack of sickness. During the first part of the week, though he was very feeble,
no apprehensions of a speedy departure were entertained, but towards the end
of it, it became apparent that his dissolution was rapidly approaching. He gradually
became weaker, until on Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock he gently breathed his
last. He arrived at the age of 72 years, 7 months and 14 days. During his matrimonial
connection, he became father to 10 children, 3 sons and 7 daughters. By a portion
of these he has 7 grandchildren, of whom two have departed this life."
