Yesterday after posting I checked the 3 books I have on teh Chewnings and I was wrong I do not have the South Carolina book. I think in the files on Richard Chewning, I have copies of pages from the book. I have a record where Richard got in trouble and his father William wrote asking for a pardon for his son and this document states he had 3 sons in the war. I have a listing of a Will for William Chewning in Caroline County dated 1809. The will did not survive, just parts of the index. I have a Court Case record many pages from Louisa County in 1794. (Louisa Co. VA) Book: 4, Page: 127, William Chewning, Type: Inv, Date: 09-Jun-1800
Inventory of William Chewning by John Lasley, Peter Crawford, Elijah Johnson, William Wash. Rec. 9 Jun 1800.
Chowning, Wm.
Date: Sep 29, 1768
Location: Caroline Co., VA
Record ID: 44944
Description: Grantee
Book Page: G
Property: 200 a. in Spts. Co.
Remarks: John x Beazley of Caroline co. to Wm. Chowning of Caroline co. £12 curr. 200 a. in Spts. Co. 5 Jun 1769.
Notes: This land record was originally published in "Virginia County Records - Spotsylvania County, 1721-1800, Volume . In 1785 tax list for Louisa County there is a William, Hardin and Richard Chewning. I also found in the lawsuit record for Louisa County that there were at least two daughters Philadelphia and Dinah. I have much more....but I am packing for a trip. Will be back next week. Feel free to email me. Tiffany Luchetta

What census did William appear in? Do you know where Richard went or if he stayed in Virginia?
There was a Richard Chewning who appeared in Sumter County SC in 1810, then Theophilus first appeared in 1820.

THANKS FOR YOUR COMMENTS/INPUT. I HAVE LONG SUSPECTED THAT THE KENTUCKY CHEWNING'S CAME DIRECTLY FROM THE VA CHEWNING FAMILY DUE TO THE NAME THEOPHILUS AND WOODRUFF BEING IN BOTH FAMILIES (MY GRANDFATHER, FATHER AND BROTHER ALL HAVE THE MIDDLE NAME OF WOODRUFF - SC CHEWNINGS). I HAVE NOT YET FOUND THE TIME TO TRY TO RECONCILE THE ISSUE. A DNA MATCH WITH MINE COULD CONFIRM THAT ISSUE.
THANKS,
WADE CHEWNING wade(a)jchewning.com

Sorry to jump in here but I do have the book. I bought it a few years back. This is speculation but Theophilus Chewning was most likely from Louisa/Caroline Counties in Virginia. I do have a record of a William Chewning listing at least three sons, who served in the Revolution. These sons Thomas, Richard and Hardin Chewning. The name Woodruff Chewning was used in the family of Hardin Chewning who left Virginia and settled in Green County, Kentucky. He died soon after and his family moved I believe to Ohio. I don't have my file in front of me.

THANKS FOR THE INTEREST. I DO NOT HAVE THE PAGE NUMBERS CLOSE BY. IT APPEARS TO ME THAT MY CHEWNINGS' DID NOT MAINTAIN CLOSE CONTACT AS THEY MOVED FROM PLACE TO PLACE.
MY GREAT GREAT GREAT GRAND FATHER WAS THEOPHILUS CHEWNING. AS TO THE BOOTLEG STORY I HAVE NOT HEARD THAT BEFORE. HOWEVER, IN THE PAST YEAR OR SO I INTERVIEWED MY DAD'S BROTHER, CHARLES THEODORE CHEWNING AND HE TOLD ME THAT THEIR FATHER, RICHARD WOODRUFF CHEWNING, MADE MOST OF HIS PROFIT AT HIS GENERAL STORE IN DAVIS STATION, SC, BY SELLING SUGAR TO BOOTLEGGERS.PLEASE CONTACT ME DIRECTLY AT wade(a)jchewning.com I WOULD LIKE TO CONFIRM WHAT APPEARS TO BE TRUE IN THAT ALL THE CHEWNING'S IN THE OLD SUMTER DISTRICT WERE/ARE RELATED. THANKS AGAIN - WADE CHEWNING

I too am descended from Theopholis - twice! Long story. Emma Chewning (d/o Theo) married John Alexander Brown, who had my grandfather (Clarke Brown) and my great grandmother (Sara Brown Dollard). I do not have page numbers but I certainly intend to go and see the book. I am in Charlotte, NC. Andy information you find on Theor or Emma would be appreciated. Have you seen the Chewning graves at Andrews Chapel in SC?
No never heard the bootlegger story.

The Augusta State University in Augusta, GA has a copy in their special collection. They do not loan it out. You can call them 706-737-1744 and if you know the page numbers, the lady in the special collection dept. said she could make copies and send them to me; however, I am going there tomorrow to do my own research on the Chewnings of SC. My grandfather, Leland Felix Chewning, born in Silver, SC is descended from Theo. Chewning. My uncle Rinehart Chewning, Leland's son, says he was told that Theo. was a bootlegger. Have you ever heard that story?
