Message Board Post:
Hi Folks,
I show Margaret Colclough married to William Durham 10 NOV 1737. I see that other folks have them married 10 NOV 1727. In trying to determine which of these possibilities is correct, I note that I cannot find any original source to support either claim. Can someone please give me a source citation so that I can eyeball the record myself? I would like to determine which is correct (if either), and the origin of the erroneous date(s).
Cheers,
Gregg

Information on Margaret Cloclough-Durham
Some of the items Margaret wrote about in her "WILL" were money, cattle, tobacco, crops, furniture, a dozen slaves, pewter dishes and 6 barrels of Indian Corn, In this WILL she gave Robert, and William Colclough (sons) her land in Fairfax Co., VA to be equally divided. William received one NEGRO WENCH, MOLLIE, one NEGRO GIRL, PHILIPA, one NEGRO GIRL, KATE.
To Margaret DURHAM the use of ONE NEGRO, for 5 years and then to go to Elizabeth Bowling.
Colcough's in Deed Book, "O" 1748-1763 in Stafford Co., VA
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following information is William Durham's will:
It is assumed that William Durham was a Farmer. Deed Books in Bute Co., NC show William Durham purchased land as early as 1765. In 1769 he purchased a "parcel of land" consisting of 100 acres for 30 pounds. in 1770 he purchased another 100 acres. In July 1786 he sold to his son, William, Jr., a Plantation of 150 acres for 45 pounds. (Note the price of the land in the 1700's.)
He was living in Hamilton Parish, Prince William Co., VA 1752;moved ca 1765 to Bute (Present Warren Co., NC) in 1767. He married Margaret Colclough 1738 in Stafford Co., VA daughter of Benjamin Colclough and Rachel Bolling.
One has the impression that Margaret Durham, was from a family of considerable wealth for that time. At the time Rachael Colclough, (Margaret's mother) wrote her will in 1748, Margaret owned land in Fairfax Co., as well as in Stafford Co., VA. Some of the items she wrote about in her will include money, cattle, tobacco, crops, furniture, a dozen slaves, pewter dishes, and six barrels of Indian corn.
Margaret did not receive much of this wealth because Colclough sons received the land and the rest was divided among nine children. However Margaret did receive 5 Negro Slaves. SEE RACHEL COLCLOUGH'S "Will" in under notes for her.
William DURHAM made his WILL in 1783 from Warren Co., NC (Deed Book 6, page 249). He included all of his children by stating:
"I Will and Desire that all of my Estate of every kind whatsoever may be equally divided amongst all my children."
None if his belongings were itemized except for his SLAVES. Historians interested in SLAVERY will find the following quote fancinating:

In the name of God Amen. This first day of August one thousand, seven hundred & eighty three, I, William Durham, of the County of Warren, being at this time weak of body, but of sound mind and disposing memory. Thanks be to Almighty God for the same, but call to mind it being appointed for man to die to ordain this my last will & testament, first resigning Soul to him who first gave it to me and as for my mortal body I desire may be committed to the Earth and buried in a Christian like manner at the discretion of my Executers here after mentioned as to my
worldly estate the blessed Lord has been pleased to bestow upon me. I give and desire in manner and form following first that all my just debts be honorably paid and my funeral expenses dischar.e;ed.
I will and desire that all my estate of every kind whatsoever maybe equally divided amongst all my children.
I desire that my two negroes Harrah and Sarah be appraised by three good respectable freeholders at twelve months credit to be chosen by my Executors for that purpose upon the same being appraised that the said two negroes may choose their master or mistress of any of children upon such one they make choice to pay unto each of my other children their proportion with them or give bond of security to them for their proportion payable in twelve months.
Having sold Ezekiel Marshall one certain tract or parcel of land adjoining the land of my son William Durham; Mollham Merrick and having not conveyed the same to him. The said Marshall having not paid up the purchase money and in order to do equal right and justice to him the said Marshall that upon him the said Marshall paying up to the purchase money or given his bond to my Exors according to our said contract that is to be pay six pounds, three shilling, Virginia money next Christmas & six pounds Virginia money the Christmas following. Then in that case I do authorize my Executors to execute a deed for the conveyance of the same in fee simple to him the said Ezekiel Marshall.
I do nominate and appoint my son William Durham and son in law Dudley Hale whole and sole Executors of this my last will and testament utterly disannulling all other wills made by me.
Probated August 1,1793 in Warren County, North Carolina.
This will is quoted at length because it indicates his only daughter Jane married Dudley Hale, named as a son in law of William I. Also, he mentions Francis Marshall the daughter of Ezekiel and Lucy Marshall married William Durham m in Sumner County, Tennessee in 1808. Thus, the family of Ezekiel Marshall, former neighbors of William II in Warren County, North Carolina another migrated to Sumner County or Francis traveled there to marry her former childhood neighbor .
This copy of William Durham Sr. was found at the Sumner County Archives.
William Durham made his will in 1783 from Warren County, NC (Deed Book 6, p. 219)
"I desire that my TWO NEGROES, HARRET and SARAH be appraised by three good and reputable free holders at twelve months credit to be chosen by my EXECUTORS for that purpose upon the same being appraised the said TWO NEGROES may choose their MASTER or MISTRESS from my CHILDREN:"

Message Board Post:
I find a few things about this post confusing. Firstly, it mentions the DURHAM will, and states that Dudley Hale married Jane, the only daughter. Yet from what I can see, the only DURHAM/HALE marriage I see is Dudley Haile and Susannah DURHAM. They were the parents of Thomas Haile, William Durham Haile, John Haile, and Gatewood Haile (Dudley Haile was son of Thomas Haile and Elizabeth Gatewood). Dudley Hail died about 1795, and Susannah married later that year to Peter Newell, and they had children Mary Newell, Elizabeth Newell, Camp Plummer Newell, James Newell, and Nancy Newell. I would like to know what demonstrates a marriage of Jane Durham to Dudley Hale.
The post then goes on mention some COLCLOUGH things vis-a-vis Dorothy Wulfeck. I am sure these people are all tremendous, etc., yet, like all people, are prone to errors, or lack of information, etc. "George Colough, who came to America in 1652, married twice but left no trace of any children". I am not sure if it would be considered a "trace of children" or not, but John Webster gave cattle to Elizabeth Colclough, out of "natural affection I beare unto Elizabeth Colclough, dtr of George Colclough, deceased." And this was Feb 1687/8 (see Essex Co., VA). So I think this makes it difficult to prove that this George Colclough had no children.
But the main point of contention I have is that the material seems to lump all the people together as if they were one family - a "parsimony" arrangement. While this is good for extant records of the time, it really falls apart once further dates are derived, etc. The main problem is that it makes Robert Colclough, the son of Matthew Colclough and Mary Warner, the father of Benjamin Colclough (who married Rachel) and John Colclough. This is not even remotely possible. Maria Warner was previously married to Otwell Johnson, and had children by him in the 1540s, prior to the death of Otwell in about 1551.
The point is that this arrangement requires a span of about 140 years in two generations. This would require Maria to have children when she was 60 or so, and THEN her son Robert to have a child when he was about 80. I think most people would agree that this is pretty unlikely.
But rather than spend a lot of time on probabilities and hunches, I think I would like to see proof. Can anyone prove the father of the Benjamin Colclough who was born about 1669, and who married Rachel?
Cheers,
Gregg

There must be some confusion in this post. It indicates that William Colclough was married to Rachael - surely it is meant to say that it was Benjamin who was married to Rachael. William Colclough who married Mary Rogers was the son of Benjamin and Rachael.
Further, this post indicates that some COLCLOUGH man died in 1722. Surely this can't be William, since he was only born in 1717. And I don't think it is Benjamin either. Most indications of a 1722 death that I have seen are for John Colclough, Jr. who is usually described as the brother of Benjamin. These usually include a 1701 death for John Colclough, Sr. I don't see why this isn't backwards. If John Colclough, Jr. was still alive in 1701, then why would Hannah (mother of Charles and Ann Colclough) be writing a will?
In any case, I would be interested to learn the documentation of ANY death in 1722 of anyone named COLCLOUGH.

Hi Charles,
Are you sure that he died in Bute/Granville? The Colclough family that went through that part of North Carolina who had a strong tendency to name their sons "Alexander" ended up in South Carolina. I have a target guy for you:
William Alexander Colclough, born 15 APR 1789, died 28 AUG 1830. I have him married to Frances. C. Hunter and Lenora Gamble Davis. I am not sure where he died, but he was buried in Lee County, South Carolina. So this 1789 birth is close to the 1795 you mention, and 28 AUG 1830 probably is close enough to 1831. I think the confusion is over his father, who was also Alexander Colclough. This elder Alexander died in 1817, and so was plenty able to have a child in 1789. He married many times, but I think his wife __?__ Ammerly was the mother of William Alexander Colclough. This elder William Colclough died in 1783.
So that's my hunch - the impossibility of dates you mention is caused by missing a generation. I think the places will probably work also, once you assign the places to the right people.

The Virginia Gazette, Williamsburg VA dated April 27, 1956
Genealogy by Dorothy Ford Wulfeck, Genealogy Editor:
"Answer"
Question 2162: Want answer of William Colclough of Fauquier Co., VA, who signed marriage bond of his daughter, Margaret to Henry Foote, Mary 29, 1760 A.E. Portland, Ore.
"I am a descendant of Wm Colclough, although I do not know if he is the Williams for whom you search. Mr. George Colcough of Elon College, NC, has sent me quite a lot of data complied by the late John Ernest Colclough of SC. He was from Penfield, GA and his sister, Miss Estelle still lived there. I have written to her but she doesn't answer any of my letters. They have been working on the COLCLOUGH'S for many years and here is what they have found."
"They have wills, deeds, births, marriages of the COLCLOUGH family of Stafford Co., VA then to Warren Co., NC and to TALIAFERRO Co. GA 1808 and family BIBLE to 1942. My branch of the family is the one from Warren Co., NC.
1652 GEORGE COLCLOUGH was the first of the name to appear in America. He settled in Northumberland Co., VA; married URSULA BYSHE (a widow); second wife, Elizabeth OVERSEE, a widow with several children.
Major GEORGE COLCLOUGH was a member of the HOUSE OF BURGESSES, also a Chief Justice of Lancaster Co., VA died 1666.
Colonial History of Virginia, Vol. 18, pg 47: THOMAS COLCLOUGH took charge of GEORGE COLCLOUGH
Estate and disposed of Deed given by Thomas Colclough of land located in Northumberland Co., CA starting in Stafford Co., England, prior to 1650 MATTHEW COLCLOUGH and his brother, ANTHONY COLCLOUGH left Stafford Co., as ANTHONY COLCLOUGH was granted by QUEEN, ELIZABETH's Estate in Wexford, Ireland.
MATTHEW COLCLOUGH, the other brother and our American line married 1st KATHERINE DALTON and had 2 children JOHN and KATHERINE. He married 2nd: _________BENNETT and had ANTHONY COLCLOUGH. He married the 3rd time to: MARY WARNER of London and had ROBERT and RICHARD.
George Colough, who came to America in 1652, married twice but left no trace of any children. He was Chief Justice of Northampton Co., VA in 1660 to 1667, dying in 1667. He had 2 brothers who were LONDON merchants and ship owners. From 1645 to 1665 they operated a line of 11 ships trading with the U.S. Their names were JAMES and THOMAS COLCLOUGH. They did not have a family in America.
ROBERT COLCLOUGH the first son, of MATTHEW and 3rd wife MARY WARNER had 2 more sons but only 2 sons came to America, VIX: JOHN an BENJAMIN COLCLOUGH. First recorded in America was in STAFFORD CO., VA 1700 having 2 small childred, CHARLES and ANN COLCLOUGH and I do not have any record of these 2 after their mothers death.
BENJAMIN COLCLOUGH brother of JOHN, married RACHAEL_______. He died 1722, she died in 1748, leaving a "Will" devising to a large family. I mention here her 2 sons ROBERT & WILLIAM COLCLOUGH
She gave farm stores and other, property to Robert in FAIRFAX CO., VA who settled there and lived there until abt. 1765 then moved to GRANVILLE CO., NC near OXFORD and had a large family there.
WILLIAM COLCLOUGH, brother of ROBERT and son of BENJAMIN, and RACHAEL COLCLOUGH, moved to PRINCE WILLIAM CO., VA after 1748, the death of his mother, RACHAEL and lived there until 1762 or 1765, moving at that time to WARREN CO., NC. He had a large family: JOHN b 1743 died 1803 married LUCY ________' ALEXANDER b 1749 died 1820 SC. RICE (has no record) MARGARET married HENRY SHEARON (may have been her 2nd husband.) Jean married ________Mosley; Mary never married and died 1794; Ann married ________Mitchell; Francis married ______; Bethland married ___ Baker; Elizabeth married William Shearon. William Colclough b 1707 d 1783 in Warren Co. NC married Mary Rodgers.
There is a will record about 1652 ENGLAND, one JOHN COLCLOUGH, devised to Josh Wedgewood pottery business in Endland. MATTHEW COLCLOUGH, was an artist in "painting china" and was the originator of BILLINGSLY ROSE and PHEASANT designs on China.
Mrs. Malcolm Tarver, living in Washington D.C. in 1942 says" COLCLOUGH china was used at the largest reception given by QUEEN of ENGLAND when they visted Washington several years ago.
I hope that this WILLIAM b 1707 d 1783 is the one you seek. He had a daughter, Margaret and she may have married a FOOTE and then a SHEARON. MY ancestor administered her estate in WARREN CO., NC
The girls were obviously older than the boys as their father was born in 1707 (KATHLEEN SHEARON WILKERSON) P. O. Box 3187, Port Neches, Texas to whom we extend thanks for this very extended lineage.

Double dates are due to calender change.
Because of boundy changes the first three score years the records in the Register of Saint Paul's Parish pertain mostly to residents of Stafford County; for the last score mostly to reseidents of King George County, thus the court records of both counties must be constulted by anyone attempting to trace families domiciled in Saint Paul's Parish. The Westmoreland County court records are oftentimes helpful
