Hi, .............Ruth Clift Bowen here!
I have found this discussion very interesting and hope you will continue on
the Clift list so everyone on this list may benefit. Now I have a 1755
tax list for Orange co., NC that shows Joseph Clift, my Allred family, my Chaney
family & a french huguenot line. Since this is a tax list I would consider
the person to be over 21 (or at least over 18). Joseph Clift (b1742) is only
13/ 14 years of age so this must be his father Joseph Clift (bc1714).
Looking at a 1760 map of NC, it shows Orange co to be quite a large area. The
1775 map of NC shows this area divided into 3 counties (Orange, Guilford, &
Chatham). The 1780 map shows the same area divided into more counties ( Orange,
Guilford, Caswell, Randolph, & Chatham)
So,---------I think that Joseph Clift (bc 1714) did come to
NC.----OR----------is this an older Joseph Clift who might be the father of Joseph Clift
bc1714???????????
I'm open for suggestions & thoughts about these Joseph Clifts.
Looking forward to all your emails.
Ruth Clift Bowen

Good to hear from you again. I also have research that indicates that Mary Noble was married to John Peck on 25 May 1729. Her second husband was John Nichols whom she married on 5 May 1736. Finally, she married Joseph Clift on 12 January 1739/40. Husbands didn't last long in those days. I also have a lot of information about the connection between the Hemsley and Noble lines. However, I have never been able to identify more than two children for Joseph and Mary (Noble) Clift - Mark and Joseph. I strongly suspect that there was a third child though. I have a record of our Joseph Clift, a bricklayer, petitioning the Court in 1751 to be made levy free, claiming to have a wooden leg, a sickly wife, and three children to support. Information derived out of the American Ancestry register states that the Benjamin Clift in question was born about 1744 in Guilford County, N.C. However, Joseph and Mary (Noble) Clift did not move to N.C., - their son Joseph Clift and his wife Mary (Edg!
ell) along with their children moved there about 1785. A little confusing. How did G. Glen Clift actually connect this Benjamin Clift to Joseph and Mary (Noble) Clift in his 1950 book - The Clift Family in America? Look forward to hearing from you.

Charlene,
There was a third son of Joseph and Mary Noble Clift. He was Benjamin, born around 1744. He won military land and ended up in Mason Co., Kentucky where he died in 1831. Benjamin was named as a son of Joseph by G. Glen Clift (author, historian and genealogist) in his book "The Clift Family in America" published in 1950. Unfortunately, he named Mary Edgell as his wife, where we now know that Mary Edgell was the wife of the son Joseph Clift, Jr. and Mary Noble was the wife of Joseph Sr.
In recent days, I have discovered that Mary Noble had an aunt by marriage (Mary, wife of Robert Noble) whose maiden name was Hemsley. This unusual name of Hemsley was given to Benjamin's fourth son.
Another tie between Benjamin Clift and Mary Noble Clift is the Peck family. Mary Noble's first husband was a Peck and Benjamin's wife was Frances Peck.
Have you any further information to support or refute this?
