| Notes for William Dickson Lumpkin | ||||||||||
| This person may be John R. Lumpkins with a wife by the name of Sarah Ray. Am looking into this as time allows. I must say that this from this person back is unproven and is still argued today in the year 2003 as to who this person was, how old he was and is he the father or stepfather of James M. Lumpkin and if so, who is James real mother. Below are recorded some facts for archiving to hopefully dovetail with future findings. "Wilson Lumpkin wrote a letter to his dau. Ann Alden in 1852 about his forebears and stated 'My grandfather had a brother by the name of Anthony, who had 12 sons, all born of one mother. NOne of them were under six feet in height; their average weight being over 200 pounds, yet none of them carried any surplus flesh. I have seen four of these giants sons of old Uncle Anthony, and truly they were most extraoridnary men in physical appearance and power.' (DeRenne Collection, Univesity of Georgia Library, Ahtens, GA.)..." This information was attributed to Mr. Harold Lumpkin Bryant of San Leandoro, CA also stated that the brother of Captain George Lumpkin was "Anthony Lumpkin b. ca. 1720 in VA, was on 1790 NC census, will proved May, 1811 in Granville Co., NC." I do not believe that the Anthony Lumpkin who died in Granville Co. NC in ca. 1811 was the brother of Captain George Lumpkin. There were two Anthony Lumpkins listed on the 1782 King and Queen Co. VA tax lists and also an Anthony who contributed beef and whiskey to the Revolutionary War armies. I believe that one of these Anthony Lumpkins was the brother of Captain George Lumpkin, who had twelve sons and the other Anthony Lumpkin was his son who died in Granville Co. NC. I believe that this Dickeson Lumpkin who died in Campbell Co. TN was one of the twelve sons of Anthony Lumpkin whom I will designate Anthony Lumpkin Sr. and Henry Lumpkin was also one of his sons because Joseph, son of Anthony Lumpkin, stated in his affidavit that he served under his Uncle Henry Lumpkin. Where would Governor Wilson Lumpkin have seen four of these "giant" sons of his great uncle Anthony Lumpkin. Could they have been Dickeson Lumpkin who named his father Anthony and who lived in Ga.; Phillip Lumpkin who lived and died in GA and who named a brother Richard in his affidavit for a RW pension; an unidentified James Lumpkin who is listed on an early tax list in Oglethorpe Co. GA and possibly is the James Lumpkin who was 67 years of age in 1832 when he verified Phillip Lumpkin's service from King and Queen Co. VA although he was not named as a brother;and possibly the unidentified William Lumpkin who has been named as a Revolutionary War soldier from GA whom I have not been able to find as yet. All of this is PURE SPECULATION but plausible, I believe. Then we have an early George Lumpkin in Granville Co. NC who has not been identified. As stated before, I believe that Dickeson Lumpkin who died in Campbell Co. TN was the son of Anthony Lumpkin, Sr. of King and Queen Co. VA and brother to Anthony Lumpkin, Jr. who died in Granville Co. NC. It is pretty safe to conclude that the Anthony Lumpkin who died in Granville Co. NC was the father of the Joseph Lumpkin who named his father, Anthony, and his uncle Henry Lumpkin in his affidavit for pension in Granville Co. NC. This Joseph lived in King Williams for nine years after the Revolution, one year in Essex, eight years in Caroline Co. and then to Granville Co., NC according to his declaration for a RW pension.

TN Court of Pleas Affidavit in support of application for Pension for Revolutionary War service. Dickeson Loumpkin stated that he was a resident of said county and 73 years old. At the time, he entered the service, he was a resident of King and Queen Co. VA where he was born in 1759 and was only about 16 yrs. when he entered the service. He was a substitute for his father Anthony Loumpkin [my emphasis added], served under Capt. Congrum (?), marched to Todds Bridge on the Matauppanune [? Is this for the Mattaponi River.

Dec term 1834 same court, county and state states name of Militia Captin under whom he served was Captain Conequin and he served for six months as a substitute for his father Anthony Lumpkin. His place of residence was in King and Queen Co. VA and he was raised there. At the time of his enlistment, he was living in the State of Pennsylvania* with one of his brothers. Applicant stated that he enlisted in the service of the United States upon Brandywine either in the month of September or October in 1778, the battle of Brandywine was fought in the year before he joined, that he enlisted under Captain John Ferguson for three years in the fourth Regiment of the Pennsylvania line as well as he can remember. He well recollects that Capt. Howard commanded the Regiment. *[I have often wondered if Dickeson Lumpkin did not say Pittsylvania rather than Pennsylvania and since he could not write, probably could not read and the transcriber wrote Pennsylvania rather than Pittsylvania. I purchased Virginia Militia in the Revolutionary War a Facsimile Reprint by Heritage Books, Inc. from the original copyrighted 1913 by J. T. McAllister to see if I could find some informtion regarding the units Dickeson served in. I have found several references to a Captain Howard but no verification that he was the commander of the fourth Regiment In fact, found no reference to fourth regiment. No references under King and Queen Co. VA except from affidavit of William Hines, Jr. who volunteered as minute man from King and Queen under Capt. William Richards and Lt. Hugh (?) Campbell and was born "June 18, 1754 (in King and Queen?.)..." and Affidavit of Phillip Smith who stated his first tour was from King and Queen Co. in Seventh Division of Militia under Capt. Munstall Banks. The six other short tours were also in the Yorktown pennisula and under Captsin Christopher Howard, William Courtney, John Lines and John Haskins. Was drafted in every instance. Born in King and Queen in 1757. Moved to Spottsylvania in 1799. Several affidavits referring to Pittsylvania Co. but none mentioning any of the officers named in Dickeson Lumpkin's affidavit. Three names of militia officers from Pittsylvania Co. interested me as these names were associated with Lumpkins in some way - were Capt. John Dooley, Capt. Wm. Witcher and Capt. Wm. Dix.] 2Apr1855 Campbell Co. TN Affidavit of Sousan Lumpkin a resident of said county and state, widow of Dickeson Lumpkin. They were married 22May1820 Hall Co. GA and her maiden name was Susan Luker and she is 53 years old on the date of making the affidavit. Dickeson Lumpkin died May 1851 in Campbell Co. TN. Susan (X) Lumpkin. Two witnesses attest: Thomas Pierce and Al....a Chavis. 1840 census Campbell Co. TN on page 312, Dickerson Lumpkins is listed with the following persons: Two males 5-10 born 1830-35 One male 10-15 born 1825-30 One male 15-20 born 1820-1825 One male 50-60 born 1780-1790 (Is this a son by a first marriage, and could younger children be his children and he is a widower?) One male 60-70 born 1770-1780 (Dickerson Lumpkin stated in his affidavit that he was born in 1759 in King and Queen Co. VA. Is he fudging on his age because he married a much younger woman?) One female 10-15 born 1825-30 One female 15-20 born 1820-1825 One female 40-50 born 1790-1800 Probably Susan Luker who married Dickerson Lumpkin in Hall Co. GA in 1820 although in her affidavit in 1855, she stated she was 53 years old making her born ca. 1802. The only Lumpkin I found indexed for Hall Co., Ga. in 1820 was a Robert Lumpkin with the eldest male born before 1765. Also, on page 311 is listed a James Lumpkin with one male 15-20 born 1820-1825 and a female 15-20 born 1820-25. Is he a son of Dickerson Lumpkin? Dickeson Lumpkin, in his affidavit, stated he moved to Guilford Co. NC then to Ga. and then to TN. The only Dickerson Lumpkin I have found in the Georgia census in 1820 and 1830 was Roberta's ancestor, Dickerson Lumpkin, Jr. who d Talbot Co. Ga in 1856 and who married Charlotte Frances Wheelus. He was the son of Dickerson Lumpkin who died prior to June 1794 Charlotte Co. VA. In Guilford Co., NC in the 1810 U. S. census at page 169 was listed Richard Lumpkins with four males under ten born 1800-1810, two males 16-26 1784-1794 and one male 26-45 born 1765 to 1784 and two females 10-16 born 1784-1800 and one female 26-45 born 1765-1784. The eldest male does not match the birthdate of Dickerson Lumpkin as stated in his affidavit for a Revolutionary War pension. The following are thoughts and observations by Roland Tate RICHARD:=>DICKERSON: :=>: The Anthony I attached this Dickeson to did not name him in his will <unless his 1st name was Richard> :=>: 1759 Dickeson Lumpkin born in King and Queen Co., VA and father was Anthony Lumpkin.

Lumpkin Genforum #638, CMc. Dear Bob, On 31 May 2000, Jeanette Tabb whom I feel is the most knowledgable Lumpkin research today, e-mailed me as follows: "We found the marrige bond for Richard Lumpkin and Elizabeth Smith 1790 Guilford Co., NC. They are on the 1800 and 1810 census in Guilford Co., NC. Then they disapper and I bought a tape of the Taxes of Madison Co., GA and there is a Richard Lumpkin who pd. tx there 1817 on personal items such as watch (no property.) Richard Lumpkin paid a small tax in Madison Co., GA. It was on 1817/1818 tax base from a film of Madison Co., taxes which Jeanette purchased from the Georgia Archives for the years 1811-1830. 1820 Census Madison Co., GA: Elizabeth Lumpkin and her children next door to John Cleghorn (no Richard Lumpkin.) George married Abagail Lucinda Cleghorn, Madison Co., GA (forgotten the date but have the record - think it was 1821) When she [Elizabeth Smith Lumpkin cjmc] and several sons apply for a Land Lottery in GA in 1827, they state husband and father out of state. Richard never shows up again. Elizabeth travels across the state of GA with her children. A grave for Elizabeth is found in small deserted cemetery in Floyd Co., GA with a grave of a daughter of Dickerson Lumpkin (one of the siblings of George? ret) (Bob to Carol quote) Tombstone is dated something like 1777-1836 (going by memory again.) I hired a professional and ended paying her a big sum of money, and she said she had never seen such a hard family to prove. I am assuming that Richard was the son of Anthony Lumpkin d. 1811 Granville Co., NC. (Bob to Carol quote) When I started this research, the only lead I had was that George and his thought to be brothers all had their birth place as NC. (Bob to Carol quote) Bob, have you been in contact with Jeanette Tabb? If I send you my Lumpkin North Carolina, can you transcribe Word Perfect or if not, I can send .rft Word. I work in Word Perfect. Other researchers believe George who married Cleghorn was the son of William Lumpkin and Polly Winston. Anthony Lumpkin d 1811 also had a son named William Lumpkin as well as Richard and Joseph. Hello Carol, I have been talking to Jeanette Probst Tabb about the Lumpkin family. I found her entries on GenCircles Web site, and got in touch with her by email. She has told me that she in turn has told you about me. Her family tree in the first one that I have found that has RICHARD as father of the brothers: Elijah, George, Thomas and Dickson. DICKERSON: :=>: Hall Co Ga.

Applicant states that he enlisted in the service of the United States at the Barracks upon Brandywine, either in the month of September or October in the year one thousand seven hundred and seventy eight. Sworn to in open court this 8th day of December 1834 . . . Dickeson Lumpkin(s) ----- Original Message ----- :=>: On 11 September of 1777, George Washington took a defeat at Chadd's Ford on Brandywine Creek near Philadelphia. If 1759 was the year of birth of Dickerson, he would have been 18 at this time and by the amendment to his deposition, he enlisted the following year. He would have been 19 years old instead of the 16 he claimed earlier. Earlier, he stated that he was in the Militia 6 months for his father and from there enlisted in the regulars. Shortly after, he saw his first action at the Cowpens 17th of January, 1781. This would seem to place his entry into the Militia sometime near or before June of 1780, making him about 21 years of age. On October 19, 1781, British General Charles Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown, giving up almost 8000 men and any chance of winning the Revolutionary War. Cornwallis had marched his army into the Virginia port town earlier that summer expecting to meet British ships sent from New York. The ships never arrived. Dickerson claims to have been here for this event. Cornwallis's surrender at Yorktown effectively ended the Revolutionary War. Lacking the financial resources to raise a new army, the British government appealed to the Americans for peace. Almost two years later, on September 3, 1783, the signing of the Treaty of Paris brought the war to an end. Presumably he was dischharged sometime between Oct 1781 and Sep 1783 if he gave truth. :=>: Anyone interested in this Richard or is he a Dickerson who was nicknamed Dick and became Richard, should send for date of the year in which one registered for the 1820 drawing. Also, what the requirements for 1820 were such length of residence needed to register, over what age, married or single, and if a widow or child of deceased father. Then should ascertain from the Surveyor of Georgia if Dickson or Richard took up either of these lots. Also, in order to register for two drawings, you had to be married? I know that in order to be eligible for the 1805 drawing, you registered several years before, and if you were a bachelor, had to be 21 and a year's residence for one draw. If you were married, you still had to be 21 and a year's residence and eligible for two draws. Same for a widow and same for an orphan. <Sarah Luker stated she was married to Dickenson in Hall Co., Ga on May 22, 1820.> Mr. Harvey wrote that Dickson Lumpkin had two successful draws in the 1820 Georgia Land Lottery when he registered in Millicans Dist in Madison Co., Dickson Lumpkin drew Lot 141 Section 11 in Irwin Co., GA and Lot 227 Section 12 in Early Co., GA. :=>:Hall Co, Ga.
