The eldest son of John and Mary Morehead was Charles R.(
James Turner was born circa 1715, a descendant of the English family from Devonshire, which claimed the ancestor, Humphrey Turner “of Thorvoston”, to whom arms were granted in 1620. The Turners emigrated to America in 1673 in the person of Captain William Turner, who settled in Boston. A certain line moved southward to Maryland and Virginia, while others of the family remained in New England. James Turner served as a Militia Captain in the colony of Maryland.
Kerrenhappuck Norman, the eventual wife of James Turner, was born circa 1715; her name was a biblical one, meaning ‘horn of beauty’. Kerrenhappuck’s family had come to reside in Spottsylvania County, Virgina before her birth. Isaac Norman is known to have entered into a deed transferring land and cash to his future son-in-law James Turner and wife, Kerrenhappuck on 30 January 1733. According to information obtained by Charles R. Morehead and included in John M. Morhead’s book, Isaac Norman obtained a patent for land in Orange (later Culpeper) County on 30 June 1726.(
Charles and Mary Morehead were blessed with a large family consisting of five boys and three girls: Turner Gustavus, Mary, Charles Jr., Kerenhappuck, Armistead, James, Elizabeth and Presley. They raised their family in Leeds Parish, Fauquier County, Virginia. Hamilton Parish was divided, in February of 1772 between Prince William and Fauquier Counties. In the court act by which that division took place, Charles Morehead is recorded as one of the “gentleman” of the parish.(
Charles Morehead served his province in the capacity of a Captain of militia. He received his commission to that position on 27 July 1767.(
Charles Morehead, Sr made out his will on 19 January 1783. He died on 30 September 1783. The will was proved by the oaths of George Carter, William Morehead and Richard Fisher on 27 October 1783.(

Charles named his wife, Mary, and his two sons, Turner and Charles to act as Executors of his will.
According to John M. Morehead, following Charles’ death in 1783, his widow, Mary, moved to Kentucky. Apparently, she took all of her children with her, with the exception of her two eldest sons, Turner and Charles, Jr., who joined the family later on. According to Mr. Morehead, they began their journey at Redstone (later Brownsville), Pennsylvania, and traveled down ‘the two rivers to the Falls’ at Louisville by flat-bottom boat. This is a much simplified way of explaining the journey, which must have been a very tedious and harrowing experience. The family would not actually have begin their journey at Redstone, because they would have had quite a ways to travel to reach that point. What Mr. Morehead probably meant to say was that the family traveled by land to Redstone, and then they boarded a flat-bottom boat to continue on their way. Redstone, or rather present-day Brownsville, is located perhaps twenty miles north of the Pennsylvania / Maryland boundary line on the east bank of the Monongahela River. It was an important early trading post on the large river, and hence the reason for it being used as a point from which to embark on a river journey westward. The family would have traveled northward on the Monongahela until they reached Pittsburgh, some thirty of forty miles from Redstone. There they would have floated onto the Ohio River, which was the result of the Monongahela and Allegheny Rivers merging in the vicinity of Pittsburgh. They then would have traveled westward, perhaps eighty some miles on the Ohio, through the southern part of the Ohio Valley. The Ohio River winds north and westward to the point where the present-day states of Ohio and Indiana meet. From there, the Ohio travels west and southward another fifty or sixty miles till it reaches the ‘falls’ at Louisville. It would have been quite a journey, and one can only wonder why Mary would have wanted to make it. In any case, she eventually came to settle in Nelson County, Kentucky, where she died on 27 March 1835. Her two eldest sons, Turner and Charles Jr., would also make Kentucky their homes.
Turner Gustavus Morehead, son of Charles and Mary Morehead, was born 07 January 1757. He married twice, first to Ann Ransdell/Ransdale on 07 June 1779 and secondly to Mary Ann Hewitt Hooe. (It should be noted here that certain genealogies state that Mary Ann was the first wife and that Ann Ransdell was the second.)
Ann Ransdell, Turner Morehead’s first wife, was born on 17 August 1756 (some researchers give Ann’s birthdate as 02 August 1756).

In regard to Mary Ann, Turner Morehead’s second wife, certain genealogies give her name as Polly Ann Hewitt Hooe, the ‘Polly’ being a commonly substituted nickname for ‘Mary’; others give the name as Mary Ann Hood, apparently assuming that the spelling ‘Hooe’ was a mis-spelling of the name ‘Hood’. Mary Ann was born on 23 May 1779 at Stafford County, Virginia. Mary Ann’s father was Harris Hooe, and his father was Hawson Hooe. Her great-grandfather was the Honorable Rice Hooe, who had married Catherine Taliaferro, and had served in 1699 in the Virginia House of Burgesses.

What is known about Hannah is that she married a man by the name of Bailey Johnson. It is also believed that she died some time after the year 1768, because she is listed in the will of her father, John Morehead, Sr.
Joseph Morehead, the second eldest son of John (deceased 1768) and Mary Morehead, is believed to have been born at Leeds Parish, Fauquier County, Virginia circa 1730. (Research performed by Raymond L. Morehead gives the date as 19 January 1732.) At Orange, Virginia Joseph married Elizabeth Turner, Mary’s sister, another daughter of James Turner and Kerenhappuck Norman. Elizabeth is believed to have been born in 1740 at Culpeper County, Virginia. Joseph and Elizabeth’s marriage, like his brother’s and her sister’s, is believed to have taken place in 1756. Joseph received a tract of land in Halifax County, Virginia on 26 November 1753 from his father, and it was there that he and his wife took up residence. He received another tract of land from his father on 05 November 1762.(4.67) At some point, in the year 1798, Joseph and Elizabeth Morehead moved to North Carolina and settled in Richmond County.

Joseph and Elizabeth Morehead raised a large family, which included:(4.68) Charles, born 1758 at Halifax, Virginia; William, born 1760; James Turner, born 1762 at Richmond, Virginia; John, born 09 May 1766 at Pittsylvania County, Virginia; Elizabeth, born 30 August 1769; Mary, Elizabeth’s twin; Kerenhappuch Turner, born 12 May 1770; Sarah, born 07 March 1771; Joseph Jr., born 01 April 1773; and Nancy Ann, born 18 October 1779. Joseph Morehead made out a will on 11 July 1806 in which he noted bequests to sons James, Joseph, Charles, Turner and John and daughters Kerenhappuch, Elizabeth, Sarah, Mary and Nancy.(4.69)
James Turner Morehead, son of Joseph and Elizabeth Morehead, was born in the year 1762. He served in the American Revolutionary War in the capacity of Lieutenant in Captain Lyttle’s Company of the Tenth Regiment of the North Carolina Continental Line. His regiment was at the Battle of Stono Ferry, South Carolina on 20 June 1779. At the Battle of Elizabethtown, North Carolina in 1781, he “commanded the nine months’ men sent to the South”, according to James Sprunt, in his book, Chronicles of the Cape Fear River.(4.70) Jeffrey F. Stanback, in an article published by the Rockingham Post-Dispatch in 1949, referred to James Morehead as the ‘grandson’ of Kerrenhappuck (Norman) Turner, although he would actually have been her great-grandson (her son being John, her grandson being Joseph, and therefore James being her great-grandson), and alludes to the fact that it was his wounding that lured her to the Battle of Guilford Courthouse. Mr. Stanback also referred to James as ‘Captain James Morehead’ in certain portions of his article, and then noted that he received a grant of land for his services in the War in which it was stated: “State of North Carolina unto James Morehead a Lieutenant in the Continental army for nine hundred and forty-four acres of land in Tennessee County on the N.C. side of Cumberland River about four miles from the mouth of Red River…” dated 20 December 1796.(4.71)
James Morehead never married. He made out his will on 25 January 1813 and it was proved during June 1815.(4.72) In it, James bequeathed to his nephew James Turner Morehead: $100; to his nephew James Motley Morehead: $50; to his nephew James Madison Morehead: $50; to his nephew Joseph Thomas, son of Daniel Thomas: $50; to his niece Betsey Thomas, daughter of Daniel Thomas: $30; to his sister Elizabeth Redman’s two children: $25 each; to his niece Sarah Cathrell’s children: $50 each; to his brother Joseph Morehead’s children: $25 each; to his brother John Morehead’s children: $100 each; and to his sister Polly Stanback, wife of Thomas Stanback: $75. The total value of James’ estate when he died in 1815 amount to $5,310.57.
John Morehead, son of Joseph and Elizabeth Morehead, was born in Pittsylvania County, Virginia on 09 May 1766; but he eventually moved to North Carolina, dying there at his home in Rockingham County. Rockingham County, North Carolina, it should be noted, lies just to the south of and bordering on the Virginian County of Pittsylvania, so the move was not a long one for the family. In 1790 John married Obedience Motley, born 1768, a daughter of Captain Joseph Motley. The Motley family descended from Welsh lines, and belonged to the Church of England. It has been said, by his descendants, that John Morehead could and did officiate as a squire, capable of marrying people, and that he built the Mt. Carmel Church near their home in Rockingham County, North Carolina as a Presbyterian church. It was also said that he taught dancing school, where Obedience, or Biddy as he would later call her, Motley was a pupil.
John Morehead is believed to have been only eighteen when he left to serve in the American Revolutionary War under General Greene. He would most assuredly have participated in General Greene’s famous campaign that included the Battle of Cowpens, and the eventual retreat through North Carolina to Guilford Court House. But he was not at that final battle because he was in charge of watching prisoners.(4.73)
John and Obedience gave birth to five sons and five daughters: Abraham Forrest; Elizabeth (variously, Eliza); Joseph; Mary L; Samuel Abraham; Prudence, born 30 December 1792; John Motley, born 04 July 1796; James Turner, born 11 January 1799; Delilah, born 1808; and Anne, born 1811.

|
“being part of the tract of land the said John Morehead Senr now liveth on Containing one hundred and twenty four acres now in the actual possession and ----- of him the said John Morehead Senr”.(4.77) |
John Morehead Jr., died some time in the winter of 1820-21. He made out his will on 14 June 1819, and it was probated on 22 January 1821. It is known that John and Mary had a number of children, including those named on his will: John Morehead III, George, Armistead, William, Charles, James, Sarah Sinkaler, Betsey Triplett, Susannah Triplett, Nancy Morehead and Lucy Morehead.(4.78) (The Clan Muirhead Society’s database includes the name of the additional child not mentioned in John’s will: Mary Mollie, who supposedly married Thomas Massie. This is possibly an error. John and Mary (Armistead) Morehead’s daughter, Mary Lawrence, had married a man by the name of Thomas Massey. The name of Mollie could have been a nickname for Mary, and so the name of Mary Mollie could have referred to Mary Lawrence, rather than to a completely different person.)
To his son, John III, John Morehead bequeathed
|
“the Land that he now lives on and the negroes he has in his possession”. |
To George he bequeathed:
|
“the Peace of Land Lying on the blew Rige and all the negroes he has in his possession”. |
To Armistead, John bequeathed
|
“all the negroes he has in his possession”. |

|

To James was bequeathed
|
“all of the household and Kichen Furnetur”. |

Armistead Morehead apparently made a living as a blacksmith. He included an item in his will as a bequest to his son, William, of his blacksmith tools. He also noted items of farm animals, including hogs, cattle and sheep, so it can be assumed that he maintained a farm in addition to the possible blacksmithing. In September of 1802, John filed a deed in the Muhlenberg County court house to transfer ownership of four slaves to his daughters, Polly, Susannah and Julia, and his son, John B.(4.79)
Armistead Morehead’s will was proved in September of 1826.(4.80) Polly was still living at the time of Amristead’s death.
To his wife, Armistead bequeathed
|
“one feather bed & furniture… It is also my will that my Said wife have the use of the farm whereon I now live till my son Armistead Morehead arrives to the age of twenty one years I also give my said wife one horse creature…also twenty dollars in money that she may have an opportunity of buying such farming tools & house furniture as she may think proper.” |
To his daughter Susan / Susannah Wathiars, Armistead bequeathed five shillings. To Cynthia Hughs and Charles Hughs, children of his late daughter Polly Hughs, Armistead left one shilling each. To Julia he bequeathed five shillings
To his son, Armistead, was bequeathed
|
“when he arrives to the age of twenty one years One hundred & sixty four acres of land including the farm whereon I now live”. |
Armistead directed that the balance of his lands be divided between his sons, William and Henry. That land amounted to one hundred and sixty-three acres for each son.
Armistead Morehead then directed that
|
“all my stock of horses, cattle, Sheep, hogs &c of every description that is not before willed my farming utensils household & kitchen furniture be sold on a credit of twelve months and the proceeds thereof be equally divided between my six sons Charles, Alfred, John, William, Henry & Amristead as they severally come of age.” |
To William, Armistead bequeathed
|
“my set of blacksmith tools”. |
Apparently added to the will at a later time (because the handwriting differs from the other text) were instructions for the disposal of Armistead’s slaves and a last minute bequest to his son, Alfred. Those instructions stated:
|
“At my death my will is that my negro man Sam & my negro girl Lear be hired out yearly until my youngest son comes of age. At which time it is my will that that they be sold at a credit of twelve months and the money arising from their hire and sale be equally divided among my three youngest sons, William Henry & Armstead & their heirs foreve. It is my will that my three youngest sons, William Henry & Amrstead pay one hundred & ten dollars each an equal portion out of their part of my estate for the said negro girl. Whereas I have heretofore given to my son Alfred sixty acres of land where he now lives & having never made him a title to the same I now give & bequeath the same to him & his heirs forever”. |
He also noted that if either of the three youngest sons, William, Henry or Armistead should died prior to his own death, the property he had bequeathed to them should be divided among the survivors.

Mary, a daughter of John and Mary Morehead, born circa 1738 in Prince William/Fauquier County, Virginia, is claimed by some researchers to have married Thomas Massey (variously, Massie) on 23 December 1772 in Fauquier County, Virginia. There is confusion in most genealogies on this line because that is the exact date that Mary Mollie, the daughter of John Jr., and Mary (Wheatley) Morehead married Thomas Massie. It has been claimed that the name, Lawrence was this Mary’s given middle name, but the name of Lawrence would not have normally been applied to a female. Mary would have been married at the time of her father’s death to Edward Lawrence. He was born in the Shenandoah Valley in Fauquier County, Virginia about 1737.
Elizabeth Morehead, daughter of John and Mary Morehead, was born on 14 May 1745 at Hamilton Parish, Prince William County, Virginia. (On his website, John Morehead gives Elizabeth’s birth in the year 1753.) In her father’s will, Elizabeth was listed as Elizabeth Brixtraw. It is believed that prior to her fathers death, she had married a man by the name of Lawrence Brixtraw. Elizabeth married a man by the name of Richard Rixey Jr on 16 November 1764 according to the Fauquier County Marriage Bonds. The fact that she is not listed as Elizabeth Rixey on the will of her father in 1768 makes that ‘fact’ suspect of error. Richard and Elizabeth Rixey gave birth to two sons: Samuel and William, born 11 May 1788.
Samuel Rixey, son of Richard and Elizabeth Rixey, married Fanny / Frances Downing Morehead, a daughter of Presley and Elizabeth Morehead. Their children are noted below.

Charles William Wellington Rixey, son of William and Mary Rixey, married Anne Fannie Settle on 09 May 1847. Anne was born on 24 June 1830 at Rixeyville, Culpeper County, Virginia. Charles and Anne gave birth to: William Joseph, born 28 September 1848; Wellington Woodford, born 25 November 1850; and Mary Catherine Harper, born 25 May 1869. Charles died on 16 June 1870 and Anne died on 17 July 1882.
Wellington Woodford Rixey, son of Charles and Anne Rixey, was married twice. His first wife was Margaret Virginia Miller. She was born in 1851 in Culpeper County, Virginia. Wellington’s second wife was Mary James Settle. They married on 17 October 1878. Wellington and Mary gave birth to: George William, born 15 May 1890 at Imza, Missouri.

He was born on 28 August 1905 at Claysville, Pennsylvania. Earl died on 21 March 1966 at Kansas City, Missouri. Earl and Dorothy gave birth to: Michael Ross, and Terry Lee. Dorothy’s second husband was James S. Creason.
Michael Ross Knox, son of Earl and Dorothy Knox, was married four times. His first wife was Rebecca Tillman. His second wife was Juanita Gill. His third wife was Martha Elliot. They gave birth to a daughter: Sara Noel. Then Michael married Mary Finley.
Terry Lee Knox, son of Earl and Dorothy Knox, married Barbara Elizabeth Wolfersberger. She was a daughter of Walter Wolfersberger and Martha Goestenkors. Terry and Barbara gave birth to: Julie Renee, Christopher Stephen, and Jennifer Lynn.
Samuel Morehead, son of John and Mary Morehead, was born in 1747 at Halifax in Halifax County, Virginia, and died in Fauquier County, Virginia on the 26th of December of 1795. Samuel is believed to have married Lucy Wilmarth, who was born in 1751 in Prince William County, Virginia. Samuel made out his will on 16 December and it was probated on the 26th of that month.(4.85) When he died, Samuel had seven children: Sarah, Lydia, Mary, Elizabeth, Peggy, Charles and Samuel B. Sarah was the only child either married or of age at the time of Samuel’s death. She was married to a man by the name of Jennings. Although a wife was not listed in his will, the minor children of Samuel were under the care of Mrs. Wilmauth Morehead, apparently his wife.
Sarah Morehead, daughter of Samuel and Lucy Morehead, married ----- Jennings. They gave birth to Baylor, born before 1796.
The youngest son of John and Mary Morehead, Presley, was born circa 1749 at Halifax County, Virginia. He married Elizabeth Hunton on 18 May 1778. Presley died before 27 March 1820, when his will was probated.(4.86) In his will, Presley made bequests:
|
“To Mary Ann Rixey, daughter of Samuel and Fanny Rixey; to Presley and Richard Lewis Rixey their sons; my sons Lewis and Presley Morehead; Frances Ann Rixey, daughter of Richard and Mary Rixey; Elizabeth, daughter of Walter A. and Catherine Smith; Lycurgus, son of Walter A. and Catherine Smith.” |
This family does not appear in most of the published genealogies. Therefore, an accurate understanding of the relationships of the various individuals listing in Presley’s will is difficult. It would appear that Presley’s children would have included his two sons, Lewis and Presley Jr. Then, because they are mentioned, it is possible to assume that Fanny (variously, Frances), married to Samuel Rixey, was a daughter, and that Mary Ann Rixey was a granddaughter of Presley and Richard Lewis and Presley were grandsons. In the same way, it might be assumed that Mary, married to Richard Rixey, was a daughter, and that Frances Ann was another granddaughter of Presley. And then it can be assumed that, Catherine, married to Walter A. Smith, was a third daughter, and that Elizabeth and Lycurgus were additional grandchildren of Presley.
Frances (variously, Fanny) Downing Morehead, daughter of Presley and Elizabeth Morehead, married Samuel Rixey. They gave birth to: Benjamin Franklin, born 03 October 1821 at Hilly Farm, Culpeper County, Vermont; John; William Hunton; Mary Ann; Presley; and Richard Lewis.
Benjamin Franklin Rixey, son of Samuel and Frances Rixey, married Eleanora Morehead, a daughter of James and Ann Morehead, as noted previously. They gave birth to: Molly and Fanny.
