Hervey Walter's son became the fist Butler of Ireland. Theobald Walter born before 1156 was created the first "Butler of Ireland" (about 1185) on behalf of the Norman King of England. "De Botiler" or "De Botiller" are spellings of the word that became modern English "butler." Theobald Walter was also known as the Baron of Arklow, though there might not have been an official barony of Arklow established at that time. Encyclopaedia Britannica gives us this sumamry of Arklow: =========== Arklow "Irish AN TINBHEAR MÓR, port, seaside resort and urban district on the Irish Sea coast, in County Wicklow, southeast Ireland. In 431 St. Palladius, the Christian missionary, landed at the present site of Arklow. The Vikings had a settlement there, and the town was granted by John of England in 1189 to Theobald Fitz-Walter, Lord Butler of Ireland. It was an English stronghold during the late medieval period, and there are remains of a 13th-century Dominican friary and fragments of the Butler castle. Small boats, pottery, and fertilizers are manufactured there." -- Encyclopaedia Britannica, Electronic, 1997, "ARKLOW" ===========

The 1850 census reports that Sarah's age was 15. She is married to James Runnels Briscoe and has a 10-month-old son Thomas. Her age of 15 would make here born in about 1835.

In 1860, James is reported as age 35, or born about 1825. Age 26 in 1850 matches that earlier date. The memorial for James' burial in Charlottesville, Virginia, reports this birth date of 1 May 1931, but provides no photo of a gravestone. The Miller genealogy is further discredited by reporting James died in Heard County, Georgia. Confederate records indicate he was a resident of Heard County when he enlisted in the CSA army on 30 July 1861. This may actually be the place of enlistment rather than the place of residence.

The wife in the house just above them is, in fact, also reported as Juliar. This is Julia Elizabeth Ward, who later married John Cullen Jenkins, my grandfather's brother. The Ancestry sloppy transcription has Julian, a male name, Until May 2016, when the 1860 census was discovered, the first census record I had for Julia Ward Jenkins was 1870, in the Cussetta area of Cass County, renamed for a period as Davis County, Texas. She is 12 years old here, in her widowed mother's household. 1870 Federal Census, Davis (Cass) County, Texas, 17 August, Justice Precinct 3, PO Cussetta, page 38, Hse/Fam #307 Ward, Bethia Head F W 40 Keeping House $300 Real Estate $100 Personal b South Carolina [b abt 1830] Ward, William 19 F W Keeping House b Georgia Cannot write [b abt 1851] Ward, Tokorah 17 F W born Georgia [b abt 1853] Ward, Charlie 15 M W born Georgia Attended School [b abt 1855] Ward, Julia F W 12 born Georgia Cannot Read or write [b abt 1858] Ward, Woodrow 10 M W born Georgia Attended School [b abt 1860] Texas Marriages, 1851-1900 Julia E Ward Gender Female Spouse J C Jenkins Marriage 2 Sep 1875 Cass County, Texas In 1880, Julia is married to John Cullen Jenkins, and they are living next door to John's father Joseph Jenkins. 1880 Federal Census, Cass County, Texas, 16 June, District 12, Precinct 3, Page 17, House and Family #145 Jenkins, John W M 30 Farmer Miss SC Miss (born 1850) Jenkins, Julia W F 22 Wife Keeps House GA GA SC (born 1858) Jenkins, Ira W M 1 Son TX Miss Ga In 1900 Julia is already a widow, John Cullen having died in 1892.

But in 1900 she is reported as 43 and only 58 in 1930 (when we would expect her to be 68)! But another error in this report seems to confirm that this Jane E is Stewart's mother Julia. Jane E's birth state is reported as Alabama, the same as the birthplace of Stewart's mother. These are consistent, although previously Julia E Ward is reported as having been born in Georgia. Georgia is also the birth place reported on her death certificate.

Virginia, Compiled Marriages, 1740-1850 Richard Gregory Spouse Name Mary [Mrs] Broadnax Marriage Date 16 Sep 1777 Sussex County, Virginia "Mary Ward, born 1749, died 1787, who married first, William Broadnax, and 2, Richard Gregory ... Martha Ward Gregory, daughter of Richard Gregory, married Gen John Pegram, and was ancestor of many well-known Virginians." -- "The Ward Family," Genealogies of Kentucky Families from The Register of the Kentucky Historical Society, Vol. II, p 599 --------------------------------- GREGORY FAMILY of KING WILLIAM COUNTY VIRGINIA Richard Gregory (1758-1844), son of Roger and Mary C. (Claiborne) Gregory and grandson of Richard and Agnes (West) Gregory, wrote into his family Bible the following account of his ancestry:1 "Memo. There were two sisters named Mary Cole and Jane Cole. Mary married a Mr. West, a lineal descendant of Lord Delaware, by whom she had two sons, John and Thomas West. After the death of Mr. West Mary married Ferdinando Leigh, by whom she had a son and daughter, viz.: WiIliam and Mary. William Leigh married a Miss Watkins, of Chesterfield, [page 255] by whom she had Benjamin Watkins Leigh and several daughters. Jane Cole, the other sister, married Colonel Nathaniel Claiborne, by whom she had two sons, viz.: Thomas and William, and five daughters. viz.: Mary Cole and others. Mary Cole [Claiborne] married Roger Gregory, by whom she had Richard Gregory and five other sons and a daughter.1 Jane Claiborne then married Stephen Bingham, by whom she had a son named Roscoe Cole Bingham. After the death of Bingham she married a Colonel Francis West. Roger Gregory (my father) was the son 0f Richard Gregory and a Miss West, the sister of Colonel Francis West, by whom she had three sons -- viz.: Roger, Richard and West Gregory -- and several daughters. Roger Gregory (my father) married Mary Cole Claiborne, by whom she had RIchard and four other sons, as above stated. Richard married the widow of William Broadnax and daughter of Colonel Seth Ward, by whom she [sic] had four children, viz.: Martha Ward, Richard, Maria and Seth. Martha married General John Pegram, of Dinwiddie, by whom she had five sons -- James West Pegram and four others -- and several daughters. After the death of Mary Broadnax, a daughter of Colonel Seth Ward, Richard Gregory married Elizabeth Wilkinson, daughter of Colonel Nathaniel Wilkinson, of Henrico, by whom he had Dr. William W. Gregory and four other sons and six daughters. Dr. William W. Gregory married Elizabeth R. Taylor, daughter of Thomas Taylor, of Richmond, by whom he has three sons at this time (June, 1843), viz.: Thomas, Richard and William. The above is correct from the best information I can obtain and recollect. RICHARD GREGORY. "N.B. I expect my grandmother Gregory was either the daughter or granddaughter of Lord Delaware, who was named West."2 The accounts quoted above states that Richard and Agnes (West) Gregory "had three sons and several daughters." The three sons are named as: (1) Roger Gregory (born May 1, 1729; died October 2, 1803), of whom we have a full account; (2) Richard Gregory, and (3) West Gregory (who, with others, was a sponsor at the baptism of Richard Gregory [son of Roger and Mary Cole ( Claiborne) Gregory], February 2, 1758). -------------------- [footnotes] 1 This account of his family by Richard Gregory (1758-1844) is taken from the Richmond Standard, Volume II., No.4, September 27, 1879. These data were communicated to the Standard with the following note: "Responding to the request in the 'Notes and Queries' Column of The Standard for information relative to the West family, I send a copy of a transcript which I made from the family Bible of my brother-in-law, Dr. William W. Gregory, of Charlotte, North Carolina, when I was at his house in the year 1869. The Bible in which the record is contained is a quarto volume entitled 'The Self-Interprrting Bible (&c.].'

Gregory, of Charlotte, North Carolina: "Roger Gregory, my father, married Mary Cole Claiborne, and had Richard and five other children, as stated above. "Richard married the widow of William Broadnax, who was the daughter of Colonel Seth Ward, and had four children, Martha, Richard, Maria, and Seth. "Martha married General John Pegram, of Dinwiddle County, and had five sons, James West Pegram and four others, and several daughters.
