Preface. 


"There  is  a  deep  significance  and  a  profound  philosophy  in 
that  Divine  economy  enjoined  upon  the  ancient  Israelites  to  pre- 
serve their  ancient  pedigrees,  and  to  hold  in  sacred  veneration 
the  memory  of  their  forefathers;  and  so  it  was  that  when  the 
Child  Jesus  was  born  of  this  race,  though  of  humble  and  ob- 
scure family,  Matthew  was  able  to  give  his  paternal  pedigree,  as 
the  son  of  Joseph,  back  through  forty-two  generations  to  Abra- 
ham, and  Licke,  his  maternal  pedigree,  as  the  son  of  Mary, 
through  seventy-six  generations  to  Adam. 

"  Nothing,  at  first  sight,  seems  less  interesting  or  less  instruc- 
tive than  a  genealogical  table — a  mere  register  of  names  and 
dates.  But,  each  of  these  names  is  the  memorial  of  a  human 
heart  that  once  lived  and  died — a  heart  that  kept  its  steady  pul- 
sations through  some  certain  period  of  time,  and  then  ceased  to 
beat,  and  mouldered  into  dust.  Each  of  these  names  is  a  me- 
morial of  an  individual  human  life  that  had  its  joys  and  sorrows; 
its  cares  and  burdens;  its  affections  and  hopes;  its  conflicts  and 
achievements;  its  opportunities  wasted  or  improved,  and  its 
hour  of  death.  Each  of  these  dates  of  birth,  marriage  and 
death !  Oh !  how  significant !  What  a  day  was  each  of  these  to 
some  human  family,  or  to  some  circle  of  loving  human  hearts." 

Daniel  Webster  once  said:  "  The  man  who  feels  no  sentiment 
of  veneration  for  the  memory  of  his  forefathers;  who  has  no 
natural  regard  for  his  ancestors  or  his  kindred,  is  himself  un- 
worthy of  kindred,  regard  or  remembrance." 

The  name  McGavock  is  Scotch  or  Seetehr- Irish,  and  if  there  is  ' 
any  family  of  the  same  name  in  the  United  States,  other  than 
the  one  of  whom  this  work  treats,  after  long  and  carelul  search, 
I  have  failed  to  learn  of  it.  No  descendant  of  James  McGavock, 
Sr.,  who  has  been  heard  from,  has  been  omitted  from  this  his- 
tory; and  if  there  are  any  left  out,  the  reason  is  that  repeated 
enquiries  have  not  been  responded  to. 


4  Preface. 

Wherever  the  MrGavock  blood  has  flowed  I  have  endeavored 
to  trace  it,  and  have  given  it  a  place  here;  because,  "  While  the 
male  line  alone  perpetuates  the  mere  family  name,  both  male 
and  female  lines,  alike,  and  in  equal  degree,  perpetuate  the 
blood,  whatever  names  they  or  their  descendants,  to  the  remotest 
generation,  may  chance  to  bear.  They  are  equal  heirs  in  blood, 
and  equal  heirs  in  law." 

To  the  Hon.  Nathaniel  Morgan,  of  Hartford,  Conn.,  I  am  in- 
debted for  the  plan  of  this  work,  and  the  larger  part  of  this 
preface,  he  having  generously  given  me  the  privilege  of  using  a 
work  of  his,  James  Harris  and  His  Descendants,  as  it  pleased 
me. 

To  all  who  responded  to  my  enquiries,  by  letter  or  otherwise, 
I  return  thanks  for  the  information  afforded  me.  That  informa- 
tion has  been  obtained  by  correspondence  and  personal  inter- 
views with  many  individuals  in  a  dozen  of  these  United  States, 
by  visiting  cemeteries  and  inspecting  family  records,  and  is  sub- 
mitted to  the  living  descendants  of  James  McGavock  with  the 
hope  that  it  may  both  profit  and  please  every  one  of  them. 


Explanation 


Each  generation  is  given  separately  and  in  regular  order  of 
uccession. 

Each  name  has  its  fixed  catalogue  number  in  the  margin,  and 
:  carried  forward  for  further  history  retains  its  fixed  number. 

To  trace  backward,  take  the  name  and  number  of  any  par- 
cular  one  in  the  margin;  the  name  and  number  of  that  one's 
arent  will  be  seen  at  the  head  of  this  particular  table;  the  name 
nd  number  of  this  parent  is  to  be  found  in  the  margin  of  the 
receding  generation,  while  the  name  and  number  at  the  head 
f  this  table  show  the  grandparent,  and  so  through  each  gener- 
tion  the  entire  line  is  shown  upward  to  the  original  ancestor. 
)ne  example  will  suffice.  Take  David  Gray  Langhorne,  No. 
243,  son  of  Maurice  D.  Langhorne,  No.  699,  son  of  John  A. 
-anghorne,  who  married  Margaret  L.  Kent,  No.  242,  daughter 
f  Jacob  Kent,  No.  55,  son  of  Col.  Joseph  Kent,  who  married 
largaret  McGavock,  No.  6,  daughter  of  James  McGavock,  No. 
,  and  common  ancestor. 

To  trace  downward,  reverse  the  process. 

The  relationship  between  any  two  of  the  family  may  be  found 
y  tracing  both  lines  upward  until  they  unite  in  a  common  an- 
sstor,  and  then  noting  in  a  third  column  the  several  degrees  of 
inship  from  that  common  ancestor  downward,  arranging  them 
ith  the  highest  numbers  at  the  bottom.     For  example:  What 

the  degree  of  kinship  between  Annie  D.  McGavock,  No. 
026,  and  Spence  McGavock,  No.  1 176  ? 

Gen.        I.  James  McGavock,  common  ancestor. 

Gen.      II.   Hugh  McGavock,  No.  2.     David  McGavock,  No. 

3.     Brothers. 
Gen.    III.   Robert  McGavock,  No.  17.     Francis  McGavock, 

No.  26.     First  cousins. 


6  Explanation. 

Gen.  IV.  Randal  H.  McGavock,  No.  no.  David  H.  Mc- 
Gavock,  No.  169.     Second  cousins. 

Gen.  V.  Thomas  E.  McGavock,  No.  375.  Frank  O.  Mc- 
Gavock, No.  558.     Third  cousins. 

Gen.  VI.  Annie  D.  McGavock,  No.  1026.  Spence  McGav- 
ock, No.  1176.      Fourth  cousins. 

The  lineage  upward,  of  the  following  names,  is  found  in  the 
same  manner  to  meet  in  David  McGavock,  No.  3. 

Lucie  Harris,  536,  dau.  of  Lucinda  McGavock,  157,  dau.  of 
James  McGavock,  24.

of  John  McGavock,  25. 

Myra  L.  McGavock,  556,  dau.  of  David  S.  McGavock,  178, 
son  of  Randal  McGavock,  27. 

Bettie  Hays,  604,  dau.  of  Emily  McGavock,  190,  dau.  of 
Lysander  McGavock,  30. 

Second  cousins.  First  cousins.  Brothers. 

The  first  date  after  the  name  is  the  date  of  birth,  the  second 
that  of  marriage,  the  third  that  of  death;  these  are  generally 
abbreviated  thus,  b.,  m.,  d.  Son,  daughter,  grandson,  grand- 
daughter, etc.,  are  sometimes  abbreviated,  s.,  dau.,  gr.  s.,g.gr. 
s.,  etc.  Rem.  stands  for  removed,  res.  for  resides,  unm.  for  un- 
married. 

Where  names  are  abbreviated  and  dates  omitted,  the  full  name 
and  the  dates  will  be  found  in  the  next  generation,  where  the 
number  is  carried  forward,  whenever  it  has  been  possible. 


THE  McGAVOCK  FAMILY. 


GENERATION  I. 

"  Remember  the  days  of  old,  consider  the  years  of  many  generations: 
ask  thy  father,  and  he  will  show  thee;  thy  elders,  and  they  will  tell 
thee." — Deut.,  xxxii,  7. 

James  McGavock,  Sen.,  1,  was  born  1728,  in  the  county  of 
Antrim,  Ireland,  near  Glenarm,  and  emigrated  in  early  life  to 
America,  leaving  a  widowed  mother  and  an  only  brother,  Ran- 
dal, at  the  homestead,  called  Camton.  He  landed  at  Philadel- 
phia, and  soon  sought  employment  in  the  business  he  had  been 
accustomed  to,  viz:  that  of  farming.  Tradition  says,  that,  hav- 
ing acquired  the  means,  he  purchased  a  wagon  and  team,  and 
for  a  time  was  engaged  in  carrying  provisions  for  the  army  un- 
der Gen.  Braddock.  He  must,  therefore,  have  come  to  Amer- 
ica about  1754-55.  He  came  to  that  part  of  Augusta  county, 
Va. ,  which  is  now  Rockbridge  county,  previous  to  or  in  the 
early  part  of  1757,  as  there  is  a  land  indenture  endorsed,  "from 
Samuel  McDowell  and  Mary,  his  wife,  to  James  McGavock,  and 
proven  in  open  court,  17  March,  1757;  signed,  John  Madison, 
Cl'k."    This  paper  is  among  the  old  papers  at  Fort  Chiswell. 

In  the  year  1760,  he  married  Mary  Cloyd,  daughter  of  David 
Cloyd,  Sr. ,  and  Margaret  Campbell,  and  sister  to  Elizabeth  Cloyd, 
wife  of  James  McDowell,  who  was  the  father  of  James  McDow- 
ell, who  married  Sarah  Preston,  and  these  last  were  the  parents 
of  the  late  Hon.  James  McDowell,  Governor  of  Virginia.  From 
Rockbridge  he  removed  to  what  was  then  Fincastle  county,  Va. , 
now  Wythe,  and  settled  at  Fort  Chiswell,  which  was  embraced 
in  a  large  body  of  land  purchased  by  him,  and  is  still  in  the  pos- 
session of  some  of  his  descendants. 


8  The  McGavock  Family. 

"  Mr.  McGavock  came  of  that  remarkable  people,  the  Scotch- 
Irish,  who  have  done  so  much  for  the  liberties  of  this  country, 
and  for  education  generally,  and  the  dissemination  of  Presbyte- 
rian principles,  especially  in  Pennsylvania,  Virginia,  North  Caro- 
lina and  Tennessee.  As  an  Old-Countryman  he  understood 
the  solid  value  of  land.  Like  an  Old-Countryman,  also,  he 
wished  to  found  a  family  with  landed  estates.  In  this  he  was 
eminently  successful,"  acquiring  by  his  aptitude  for  business  and 
his  industry  and  energy,  large  and  valuable  bodies  of  land. 

With  credit  to  himself,  and  general  satisfaction  to  the  public, 
he  filled  several  important  offices  of  honor  and  trust. 

He  was  a  magistrate  when  that  office  was  entrusted  only  to 
men  fitted  for  the  responsible  duties  of  the  place.  He  must 
have  held  the  office  of  commissary,  being  entrusted  with  the 
disposal  of  provisions  for  the  Continental  army,  as  the  following 
receipt,  now  in  the  possession  of  his  descendants  at  Fort  Chis- 
well,  will  show: 

Fort  Chiswell,  Sept.  13,  1776. 

Received  of  James  McGavock  six  bushels  of  Corn  out  of  the 

public  Magazine,  for  the  use  of  three  Wagons  under  my  care  on 

the  Cherokee  Expedition. 

John  Bownan. 

He  was  one  of  the  committee  of  fifteen,  consisting  of  such 
men  as  Rev.  Charles  Cummings,  William  Campbell,  Colonel 
William  Preston,  Captain  Stephen  Trigg,  Major  Arthur  Camp- 
bell, and  others,  appointed  by  the  citizens  of  Fincastle  county, 
Va.,  to  draft  resolutions  expressive  of  the  privileges  and  rights 
they  as  free  men  possessed;  and  declaring  their  determination 
"  never  to  surrender  those  rights  to  any  power  on  earth  but  at 
the  expense  of  their  lives."  These  resolutions  were  adopted 
January  20,  1775,  four  months  before  the  Mecklenburg,  N.  C. , 
declaration.  They  were  forwarded  to  the  Continental  Congress, 
at  Philadelphia,  and  can  be  seen  in  the  Congressional  Library, 
at  Washington,  D.  C. ,  and  the  State  Library,  Richmond,  Va. 
He  was  an  affectionate  husband,  kind  father,  social  companion, 
and  generous  benefactor.  An  instance  of  his  noble  generosity 
is  to  this  effect: 


The  McGavock  Family.  9 

"  When  he  first  landed  in  this  country,  four  other  young  Irish- 
men, his  companions  '  en  voyage,'  were  about  to  be  sold  to  pay 
their  passage-money;  thereupon  he  promptly  volunteered  to 
part  with  all  his  means,  save  one  pound,  rather  than  see  his  fel- 
low-countrymen subjected  to  such  humiliation." 

Noble  generosity  and  self-denial — evincing  the  truth,  that  a 
sympathising  heart  and  an  open  hand  are  greater  riches  than 
stores  of  wealth  with  a  grasping,  callous  soul.  "There  is  that 
maketh  himself  poor,  yet  hath  great  riches."  Prov.  xiii,  7. 
His  many  pounds  freed  his  fellow-countrymen;  his  one  pound 
gained  for  himself  and  his  numerous  descendants  many  thous- 
ands. 

Mr.  McGavock,  who  in  stature  was  full  six  feet  in  height, 
stout  of  frame,  and  with  a  constitution  to  endure  labor  and 
stand  exposure,  lived  to  be  over  fourscore  years  of  age,  and 
died  at  the  home  of  his  youngest  son,  Joseph,  at  Max-Meadow, 
22d  March,  1812,  and  is  buried  at  the  family  cemetery  at  Fort 
Chiswell.  His  widow,  who  survived  him  fifteen  years,  was  born 
in  Rockbridge  county,  Va. ,  14  March,  1741,  and  died  at  her 
son-in-law's,  Colonel  Joseph  Kent,  5  March,  1827. 

They  had  five  sons  and  five  daughters,  as  follows:

GENERATION    II. 


"  Irresistible  Time!  . 

Behold, 

Earth's  proudest  boast,  beneath  thy  silent  sway, 
Sweep  headlong  to  destruction,  thou  the  while 
Unmoved  and  heedless."— Kirke  White. 

"  For  death  and  life,  with  ceaseless  strife, 
Beat  wild  on  this  world's  shore, 
And  all  our  calm  is  in  that  balm, 
Not  lost,  but  gone  before."— Hon.  Mrs.  Norton. 

Hugh  McGavock,  2,  son  of  James,  Sen.,  born  in  Rockbridge 
county,  Va.,  25  September,  1761,  married,  first,  a  Miss  Camp- 
bell, whose  parents— their  names  unknown— resided  on  Cripple 
creek,  Wythe  county,  Va.  She  survived  her  marriage  a  very 
shore  time.  He  next  married  Nancy  Kent,  daughter  of  Jacob 
Kent  and  Mary,  nee  Crockett,  of  Montgomery  county,  Va. ,  29 
March,  1785.  She  was  born  11  December,  1763,  was  the  sister 
of  Colonel  Joseph  Kent,  who  married  Margaret  McGavock,  No. 
6,  and  belonged  to  a  family  distinguished  in  Revolutionary  an- 
nals; three  of  her  uncles,  Colonels  Hugh,  Andrew  and  Walter 
Crockett  being  officers  in  the  Revolutionary  war.  She  died  10 
February,  1835.  By  well  authenticated  tradition  he  was  in  a 
volunteer  company  under  Colonel  Joseph  Crockett  in  the  Revo- 
lutionary war  to  repel  an  invasion  by  the  Indians  on  the  Ohio 
frontier.'  He  died  at  his  home  at  Max-Meadow,  Wythe  county,

David  McGavock,  3,  son  of  James,  Sen.,  born  in  Rock- 
bridge county,  Va.,  6  February,  1763,  married,  first,  Elizabeth 
McDowell,  daughter  of  James  McDowell  and  Elizabeth  Cloyd, 
his  wife,  16  June,  1789.     She  was  born  in   Rockbridge  county, 

Va., and  died  there,  while  on  a  visit,  ,  1807.     She 

was  first  cousin  to  her  husband,  and  also  to  General  Gordon 
Cloyd,  Thomas  and  David  Cloyd,  sons  of  Colonel  Joseph  Cloyd, 
all  late  of  Pulaski  county,  Va.,  and  the  aunt  of  the  late  Gover- 
nor James  McDowell,  of  Virginia,  and  of  the  wife  of  the  Hon. 
Thomas  H.  Benton,  late  U.  S.  Senator  from  Missouri. 

David  McGavock  was  one  of  the  early  settlers  of  Nashville. 
In  1786  he  had  located  in  and  around  the  settlement,  in  the 
names  of  his  father  arid  himself,  2,240  acres  of  the  best  land  he 
could  find,  including  a  tract  of  several  hundred  acres  around 
Freeland's  station.  He  came  to  Tennessee  a  surveyor,  for  which 
he  was  fitted  by  a  liberal  education  and  great  physical  power  of 
endurance.  His  good  judgment  is  yet  apparent  in  the  location 
of  lands  taken  up  and  purchased  by  him  in  Davidson  and  Wil- 
liamson counties,  Tennessee.  He  inherited  in  a  large  measure 
the  energy,  indomitable  will,  and  integrity  of  his  honored  father — 


The  McGavock  Family.  13 

traits  of  character  ensuring  success,  and  qualifying  him  to  be  a 
prominent  and  safe  leader  in  a  newly  settled  country.  He  made 
Nashville  his  permanent  residence  in  1795.  In  1806  he  was 
elected  by  the  legislature  of  Tennessee,  Register  of  the  Land 
Office,  and  was  the  incumbent  thereof  until  his  death,  which 
occurred  7  August,  1838. 

His  second  wife  was  the  widow  Mary  Hubble  {nee  Turner), 
whom  he  married  in  1812.  She  was  born  in  North  Carolina, 
and  died  in  Nashville,  1834.  By  her  he  had  two  sons.  By  his 
first  wife  he  had  nine  children,  in  all  eleven.

She,  daughter  of  James  Crockett  and  Mary  Drake  his  wife,  was 
born  23  May,  1778,  and  died  27  November,  1826. 

James  McGavock  lived  and  died  at  the  old  homestead,  Fort 
Chiswell.      The    house,  composed    partly  of  logs,  was  burned

down  in  1901,  and  being  on  the  main  road  from  Lynchburg,  Va., 
to  Knoxville,  Tenn.,  a  road  much  used  for  transporting  goods 
from  the  eastern  markets  to  the  west,  and  also  a  stage  route, 
was  long  known  as  one  of  the  best  country  taverns  in  Virginia. 
In  that  day,  the  travelling  public  demanding  it,  houses  of  en- 
tertainment were  kept  by  not  a  few  of  the  wealthiest  and  best 
families.  Here  General  Andrew  Jackson,  travelling  to  and  from 
Washington  city  by  private  conveyance,  often  stayed,  being  a 
personal  friend  of  this  McGavock  and  of  others,  especially  David, 
Randal  and  Jacob,  of  Tennessee. 

The  Fort  Chi.* well  land  was  originally  granted,  by  the  Crown, 
to  Thomas  Walker;  and  the  fort,  built  for  defence  against  the 
Indians,  was  named  for  Captain  Chisvvell,  an  English  officer. 
Tradition  assigns  it  the  honor  of  being  the  place  where  General 
Morgan,  of  Revolutionary  fame,  received  500  lashes  for  resent- 
ing an  insult  put  upon  him  by  an  officer  in  the  British  army; 
this  however  is  very  doubtful.

Wythe  county,  Va.,  20  September,  1790,  married  Louisa  Caro-

Andrew  Jackson's  aids,  but  being  disabled  by  a  wound  in  the 
battle  of  Enotochopco,  24  January,  18 14,  he  was  honorably  dis-

He  was  severally  County,  Circuit  and  United  States  Circuit

gress, Attorney-General  of  the  United  States  and  United  States 
Senator,  to  which  last  position  he  was  twice  elected. 

"  It  has  always  been  conceded  that  Mrs.  McGavock  inherited, 
to  a  marked  degree,  the  talents  of  her  distinguished  father. 

"  She  was  a  lady  of  very  high  culture,  a  fine  conversational- 
ist, kind,  generous  and  charitable;  a  good  wife,  a  good  mother 
and  a  good  Christian."

Margaret  McGavock,  20.  daughter  of  Hugh,  born  at  Max- 
Meadow,  Wythe  county,  Va.,  12  March,  1800,  married  Rev. 
Samuel  McNutt,  2  October,  1819,  and  died  at  Rockville,  Ind., 
19  July,  1845.  Mr.  McNutt  was  born  in  Rockbridge  county, 
Va. ,  in  1790,  and  removed  to  Wythe  county,  Va.,  about  1815, 
where  he  taught  a  school  and  was  pastor  of  '  'Anchor  and  Hope 
Cfatrch."  The  house  of  worship,  built  of  logs,  still  stands  on 
the  McGavock  lands,  near  Max-Meadow.  Here  the  elder  Mc- 
Gavocks,  many  of  the  Kents,  Crocketts,  Grahams  and  other 
Presbyterian  families  were  accustomed  to  worship.  The  name 
is  singular.     This  part  of  the  valley  of  Reed  creek  was  called 


24  The  McGavock  Family. 

the  "  Valley  of  Contention  and  Strife,"  two  parties  bitterly  and 
long  contending  at  law  for  the  ownership.  One  of  them,  as  he 
closed  his  survey,  striking  his  staff  in  the  ground  exclaimed: 
'  Here  is  my  anchor  and  hope;  here,  in  this  valley  of  contention, 
I  end  the  strife."  Hence  the  name;  and  on  that  spot,  the  start- 
ing point  and  terminus  of  that  survey,  the  church  was  built. 
Mr.  McNutt  was  also  pastor  of  New  Dublin  Church,  having 
been  installed  over  it  in  1S16.  His  pastorate  over  these  churches 
closed  in  1828,  when  he  removed  to  Rockville,  Ind.,  where  he 
died  21  January,  1869.

Eliza  McDowell  McGavock,  21,  dau.  of  Hugh,  born  at 
Max-Meadow,  Wythe  county,  Va.,  4  December,  1801,  married 
Dr.  Andrew  B.  Ewing,  1  May,  1821.  For  nearly  fifty-five  years 
they  lived  together,  happy  in  each  others  esteem,  confidence 
and  love.  As  wife,  mother,  neighbor  and  Christian  she  was  an 
example  and  pattern  for  all.  After  years  of  slow  wasting  and 
much  suffering,  patiently  borne,  she  died,  6  January,  1876. 
'  Her  children  arise  up,  and  call  her  blessed;  her  husband  also, 
and  he  praiseth  her." 

The  following  sketch  is  condensed  from  an  article  by  another: 

'Andrew  B.  Ewing,  son  of  William  Ewing  and  Margaret  Love 
his  wife,  was  born  at  Barton's  Station  (a  block  house),  in  David- 


The  McGavock  Family.  25 

son  county,  Tenn.,  27  July,  1796,  trained  in  the  best  schools  of 
his  time,  at  one  time  a  pupil  of  the  celebrated  Gideon  Black- 
burn, D.  D.,  completing  the  full  course  at  Cumberland  College, 
Nashville,  and  reading  medicine  in  the  office  of  Dr.  Roane,  he 
graduated  at  the  Medical  University  of  New  York  in  18 19,  and 
immediately  afterwards  settled  in  Franklin,  Tenn.  He  soon  laid 
the  foundation  of  confidence  in  the  hearts  of  the  people,  which 
grew  with  his  years  and  was  maintained  to  the  last.  His  con- 
geniality, liveliness,  entertaining  conversation,  and  stia-viter  in 
modo  made  him  a  pleasing  companion,  welcomed  in  every  social 
circle;  and  these  qualities  stood  him  in  good  part  in  his  profes- 
sion, eminently  fitting  him  for  practice  among  the  gentler  sex. 
He  was  remarkable  for  his  politeness,  to  the  young  as  well  as  to 
the  aged,  alike  at  home  and  abroad. 

"  By  the  unanimous  voice  of  the  Williamson  County  Medical 
Society,  notwithstanding  his  reluctance  to  occupy  positions  of 
prominence,  he  was  made  its  President,  which  post  he  filled  with 
signal  dignity  and  ability. 

"A  decided  and  consistent  Christian  and  member  of  the  Pres- 
byterian Church,  he  filled  his  place  sans  penr  et  sans  reproache. 

"  Having  retired  from  the  active  duties  of  his  profession  upon 
the  completion  of  its  fiftieth  anniversary,  and  being  past  three- 
score years  of  age,  he  spent  the  remaining  years  of  his  life  in 
quietude,  but  not  in  indolence,  at  his  home  near  Franklin,  Tenn., 
amid  his  children  and  grandchildren,  at  whose  hands  he  received 
respectful  veneration  and  loving  attention  up  to  the  time  of  his 
death,  which  occurred  May  15,  1881."

28  The  McGavock  Family. 

Francis    McGavock,    26,   son   of    David,  born   in   Wythe 

county,  Yu.,   31  January,  1794,  married   Amanda   P.   Harding, 

23  October,  1S23.     She,  the  eldest  child  of  John  Harding  and 

Susannah  {nee  Shute),  was  born  23  October,  1807,  and  died  24 
October,  1873. 

"Francis  McGavock  came  to  Nashville,  with  his  parents, 
when  but  two  years  old,  and  was  educated  at  its  University 
under  Dr.  Priestly.  In  early  life  he  had  charge  of  the  State 
Office  for  the  registration  of  lands.  For  half  a  score  or  more  of 
years  he  was  Clerk  of  the  Chancery  Court  at  Nashville."  An 
intimate  friend  says  of  him:  "He  was  a  man  of  large  public 
spirit  and  strong  personal  attachments,  a  true  specimen  of  the 
Old  School  gentleman.  Dignified  in  bearing,  but  kind  of  heart, 
the  unworthy  approached  him  with  awe,  his  equals  with  respect- 
ful ease.  Hospitable  almost  to  a  fault,  and  ever  ready  to  extend 
the  hand  of  help  to  the  needy  and  worthy,  he  lived  as  near  the 
'  Golden  Rule  '  as  any  ever  did." 

By  his  energy  and  industry  he  added  largely  to  his  estate, 
being  possessed  at  his  decease,  which  occurred  23  December, 
1866,  of  valuable  houses  and  lots  in  Nashville,  and  lands  in 
Davidson  and  Cheatham  counties,  Tenn.

John  McGavock,  49,  son  of  Randal,  born  in  Tennessee,  2

daughter  of  Van  P.  Winder  and  Martha  Anne  Grundy,  his  wife, 
and  grand-daughter  of  Hon.  Felix  Grundy,  was  born  9  Decem- 
ber, 1829.  A  custom  of  Mrs.  McGavock's  vve  note  with  pleas- 
ure, and  commend  to  all  who  have  the  means  of  doing  likewise. 
It  has  been  her  habit  for  years  to  take  to  her  house  from  two  to 
three  orphans,  generally  from  the  asylum  in  New  Orleans,  to  act 
as  household  servants;  at  the  same  time  educating  them,  giving 
special  attention  to  their  religious  training,  and  when  they  are 
of  age  paying  the  outfit  agreed  upon,  and  finding  them  suitable 
homes  and  employment.  We  have  seen  the  fatherless  and 
motherless  little  ones  as  happy  as  larks,  and  as  gentlemanly  and 
ladylike  in  their  deportment  as  the  most  fastidious  could  desire. 

Mr.  McGavock  was  a  successful  farmer  on  a  large  scale,  and 
in  his  dignified  but  pleasing  manners  reminded  one  of  a  gentle- 
man of  the  olden  time.  He  has  always  avoided  public  life,  the 
comforts  of  home  and  the  retirement  of  private  life  being  more 
congenial  to  his  tastes.      He  died  7  June,  1893.

Harding,  a  graduate  of  this  institution,  as  a  scholar,  a  gentle- 
man and  a  soldier,  to  all  whom  it  may  concern." 

He  lived  at  his  beautiful  farm,  "  Belle  Meade,"  near  Nash-

In  departing  from  the  plan  of  not  putting  under  a  head  num- 
ber, and  not  recording  a  second  time  the  name  of  one  who  is 
without  children,  I  do  so  in  this  instance,  because  Joseph  Cloyd 
deserves  a  prominent  place  in  the  history  of  this  family,  and 
because  of  the  intimate  and  friendly  relations  between  him  and 
myself.  I  lived  in  his  house  two  years,  was  his  pastor  six  years; 
he  largely  aided  and  warmly  befriended  me  in  times  of  trouble 
and  difficulty,  and  so  I  learned  to  know  and  appreciate  his  worth 
as  a  Christian  and  a  friend,  his  usefulness  as  a  citizen  and  an

officer  in  the  church,  he  being  a  Ruling  Elder  in  the  New 
Dublin  Church,  of  which  I  was  pastor  from  1866  to  1872. 
Major  Cloyd  was  one  of  the  most  experienced  and  successful 
farmers  and  graziers  in  Southwest  Virginia,  and  was  one  of  the  first 
to  introduce  thorough  bred  Durham  cattle  in  that  section  of  the 
State.  His  excellent  judgment,  large  experience,  and  untiring 
industry  procured  him  the  position  of  Purchasing  Agent  for  the 
Southwestern  District,  from  the  Confederate  Government,  with 
the  rank  of  Major,  which  office  he  ably  filled,  holding  it  until  the 
close  of  the  war.  His  wife,  Mary,  in  her  sphere  was  his  equal, 
and,  co-operating  together,  the  good  estates  each  inherited  have 
been  largely  increased.  Not  blessed  with  children  of  their  own, 
the  children  of  others,  already  largely  benefitted  by  them,  have 
reason  to  rise  up  and  call  them  blessed.  Major  Cloyd  died  19  July, 
1884.     Mrs.  Cloyd  died  23  May,  1892. 

Cynthia  Mary  Cloyd,  82,  daughter  of  David,  born  in

unanimously  chosen  Chancellor  of  his  alma  mater,  and  was  one

the  same  year  brought  forward  the  idea  of  a  great  normal  college

is  ascribed  the  origin  of  the  idea  of  the  Nashville  Centennnial, 
which  was  attended  with  the  greatest  success,  in  May,  1880. 
Other  positions  of  responsibility  he  has  successfully  filled,  and

"  How  the  stately  years  march  onward!— how  the  centuries  increase! 

1  low  the  cycles  roll  and  gather!— how  the  lives  of  mortals  cease! 

Life  is  but  a  repetition;  for  the  man  who  lives  to-day, 

Loves  and  hopes,  like  countless  millions  who  have  lived  and  passed 

away."

ADDENDA. 


Among  the  many  families  connected  with  the  McGavocks, 
some  members  of  which  were  distinguished  for  intelligence  and 
usefulness,  there  are  those  deserving  a  more  particular  and 
extended  notice  than  is  given  them  in  the  body  of  this  book. 
Of  these  we  select  a  few;  and  first  are  the 

CLOYDS. 

It  is  a  family  tradition  that  soon  after  the  raising  of  the  siege 
of  Londonderry,  Ireland,  which  occurred  in  1689,  three  brothers, 
James,  Joseph  and  David  Cloyd,  left  Ireland,  came  to  America, 
and  settled  in  Chester  county,  Penn.,  where,  it  seems,  many  of 
the  Protestant-Irish  and  Scotch-Irish  of  that  day  settled;  many 
of  them  remaining  there  to  bring  up  families  of  useful  citizens, 
and  many  others  removing  thence  in  after  years  to  the  ' '  Valley 
of  Virginia,"  whose  descendants,  as  Christians  and  patriots, 
have  given  tone  to  that  beautiful  and  prosperous  section  of  the 
mother  of  States  of  this  great  Republic. 

One  of  these  three  immigrants,  James  Cloyd,  born  about 
1780,  was  at  the  siege  of  Derry  when  only  nine  years  of  age. 
He  remained  in  Chester  county,  Pa.,  during  his  life  and  died 
there  in  1769.  He  had  among  other  children  a  son  James,  who 
was  born  1707,  married  Margaret  Wilson,  and  died  1803,  aged 
96.  He  lived  at  Whiteland,  Chester  county,  Pa.,  and  had  a 
family  of  several  children.  Some  of  his  descendants  still  reside 
in  Chester  and  Montgomery  counties,  Pa. 

Of  Joseph  Cloyd,  the  immigrant,  but  little  is  known.  By 
some  of  that  particular  branch  of  the  family  he  is  sometimes 
confounded  with  a  Michael  Cloyd,  who  is  said  to  have  been  an 
immigrant  brother  of  James  and  David.  But  this  we  think  is  a 
mistake.  There  was  a  Michael  who  lived  at  Amsterdam,  Va., 
and  there  is  in  the  possession  of  Joseph  G.  Kent,  son  of  the  late 
Gordon  C.  Kent,  of  Wythe  county,  Va.,  a  letter  in  which  men- 


154  The  McGavock  Family. 

tion  is  made  of  "  Michael  Cloyd,  uncle  of  Gordon  Cloyd."  This 
uncle  Michael  must  then  have  been  a  brother  of  Colonel  Joseph 
Cloyd,  son  of  David  the  immigrant,  and  could  not  have  been 
himself  an  immigrant. 

Of  David  Cloyd,  Sen.,  we  can  speak  more  confidently.  Com- 
ing from  Ireland  with  his  brothers  James  and  Joseph,  he  settled 
first  in  Chester  county,  Pa.  He  moved  thence  to  Delaware  and 
bought  land  in  New  Castle  county.  In  1733  he  sold  his  land  in 
Delaware,  bought  in  Augusta  county,  Va.,  in  1745,  and  moved 
to  make  his  residence  there  for  life. 

David  Cloyd's  wife,  who  was  Margaret,  nee  Campbell,  and  his 
son  John  were  killed  by  the  Indians,  the  attack  being  made  while 
the  men  were  at  work  in  a  distant  field.  Waddell  in  his  "  Annals 
of  Augusta  County,"  page  126,  refers  to  David  Cloyd's  house 
being  rifled  by  the  Indians  in  1764,  and  his  bringing  suit  in  1766 
to  recover  some  of  the  money  which  was  found  on  a  dead  Indian. 
The  date  of  his  death  is  uncertain.  In  his  will  he  mentions  the 
following  children,  viz:  James,  David,  Michael,  Elizabeth  and 
Margaret,  omitting  Mary  and  Joseph. 

David  Cloyd,  second  son  of  David,  Sen.,  married  Elizabeth 
-.      They  had  nine  children. 

Michael  Cloyd,  son  of  David,  Sen.,  married  Elizabeth  Neely. 
They  had  eight  sons  and  one  daughter.  Betsy. 

Elizabeth  Cloyd,  eldest  daughter  of  David,  Sen.,  married  James 
McDowell,  second  son  of  John  McDowell  and  Magdalen,  nee 
Woods,  and  grandson  of  Ephriam  McDowell,  the  immigrant,  and 
his  wife  Margaret,  nee  Irvine. 

James  McDowell  and  Elizabeth  Cloyd  his  wife  had  three  chil- 
dren, viz:  James,  who  married  Sarah  Preston,  daughter  of  Col. 
William  Preston,  and  granddaughter  of  John  Preston,  the  immi- 
grant. 

James  and  Sarah  (Preston)  McDowell  were  the  parents  of 
James  McDowell,  several  years  member  of  the  Virginia  Legisla- 
ture, member  of  Congress,  member  of  the  Virginia  Convention 
of  1829-30,  Governor  of  Virginia.  James  and  Sarah  (Preston) 
McDowell  were  also  the  parents  of  Elizabeth  McDowell,  wife  of 
Hon.  Thomas  H.  Benton,  who  for  thirty  successive  years  was 
United  States  Senator  from  Missouri,  and  also  the  parents  of 
Susan  McDowell,  wife  of  Col.  William  Taylor,  of  Alexandria,  Va. 


Addenda.  155 

Elizabeth  McDowell,  daughter  of  James  McDowell  and  Eliza- 
beth, nee  Cloyd,  married  her  first  cousin,  David  McGavock,  the 
second  child  of  James  McGavock  and  Mary,  nee  Cloyd. 

Sarah  McDowell  another  daughter  of  James  McDowell  and 
Elizabeth  Cloyd,  his  wife,  married  her  first  cousin  Maj.  John 
McDowell,  son  of  Judge  Samuel  McDowell  and  his  wife  Mary 
McClung.  This  Major  McDowell  was  a  captain  in  the  Revolu- 
tionary War.  Was  with  Washington  at  the  crossing  of  the  Del- 
aware, fought  at  Princeton,  Trenton,  and  at  Brandy  wine,  at 
which  latter  place  he  was  severely  wounded,  but  was  at  the  sur- 
render at  Yorktown.  He  served  as  major  in  the  War  of  1812, 
represented  the  county  of  Fayette,  Ky.,  in  the  State  Legislature 
for  six  elections,  and  was  a  member  of  the  Convention  of  Ken- 
tucky that  framed  the  State  Constitution  that  lasted  fifty  years. 

Mary  Cloyd,  daughter  of  David,  Sen.,  who  married  James 
McGavock  has  alreadv  been  spoken  of,  but  it  is  eminently  proper 
to  refer  to  her  clear  intellect,  untiring  industry,  and  strong  will- 
power; characteristics  which  doubtless  greatly  aided  her  husband 
in  his  business  affairs  wherein  he  was  so  successful. 

Joseph  Cloyd,  son  of  David,  Sen.,  was  born  10  June,  1742, 
married  Mary  Gordon,  and  died  3  August,  1833.  They  had 
three  sons,  Gordon,  Thomas  and  David.  He  moved  from 
Rockbridge  county,  Va. ,  to  Montgomery,  now  Pulaski  county, 
and  settled  on  Back  creek,  the  place  being  still  in  the  possession 
of  his  great  grand  children.  It  is  related  of  his  wife  that  she 
would  not  consent  to  come  to  this  then  backwoods  country  unless 
her  husband  promised  that  as  soon  as  he  was  comfortably  settled 
he  would  take  the  necessary  steps  to  have  a  Presbyterian  church 
built,  in  which  she  might  worship  after  the  manner  and  forms 
she  had  been  accustomed  to  do.  This  promise  he  fulfilled,  and 
the  result  was  the  erection  of  a  house  of  worship,  and  in  due 
time  the  organization  of  a  Presbyterian  church,  which  still  exists 
and  is  known  as  New  Dublin  Church,  one  mile  north  of  Dublin 
Depot. 

Joseph  Cloyd  in  early  life,  while  yet  only  thirty  two  years  of 
age,  was  honored  with  a  commission  as  captain  of  a  company 
of  militia  of  the  county  of  Fincastle,  by  Earl  Dunmore,  Gover- 
nor of  Virginia.  This  commission  was  dated  Williamsburg,  Va., 
S  March,  1774.      In  1779  he  was  appointed  by  Governor  Thomas 


156  The  McGavock  Family. 

Jefferson  a  major  of  militia  in  Colonel  Wm.  Preston's  Battallion 
of  300,  in  the  county  of  Montgomery,  Va.  These  two  com- 
missions are  in  the  possession  of  his  great  grandson,  David 
McNutt  Cloyd.  He  was  also  engaged  in  the  battles  of  Guilford, 
Cowpens  and  King's  Mountain,  and  was  promoted  colonel.  He 
died  aged  91  years  and  over.  He  had  four  children,  Gordon, 
Thomas,  David,  and  a  daughter  who  married  her  cousin  Joseph 
Cloyd,  of  Amsterdam,  Va.  She  died  leaving  no  issue.  The 
three  brothers  are  spoken  of  in  the  body  of  this  book. 

KENT. 

The  best  authenticated  information  we  have  concerning  the 
Kent  family  of  southwest  Virginia  comes  through  Mrs.  Jane  Bu- 
ford,  a  daughter  of  Jacob  Kent,  Sen.  The  few  facts  about  to  be 
related  were  given  by  Mrs.  Buford  to  members  of  the  family  of 
the  third  generation,  and  transmitted  by  them  to  the  descendants 
still  living. 

Jacob  Kent  was  born  in  England  about  1730,  and  emigrated 
to  America,  sailing  from  Amsterdam,  Holland,  with  two  other 
brothers,  and  landed  at  New  York  about  1750.  Leaving  his 
brothers  in  New  York  he  came  to  Virginia  and  settled  in  that 
part  of  Augusta  county  which  is  now  Montgomery,  living  on  his 
estate  called  Edge  Hill.  He  married  Mary  Crockett,  daughter 
of  Joseph  Crockett  and  Jane,  nee  Divinnee,  by  whom  he  had  five 
children,  viz:  John,  who  married  a  Miss  Barnett;  Jane,  who 
married,  first,  Maj.  Thomas  Quirk,  by  birth  Irish,  and  an  officer 
in  the  Continental  Army.  He  dying,  she  married  Henry  Bu- 
ford, of  Bedford  county,  Virginia,  and  herself  died  at  an  advanced 
age;  then  Nancy,  who  married  Hugh  McGavock,  Sen.;  then 
Jacob,  who  died  unmarried;  and  lastly  Joseph,  who  married 
Margaret  McGavock.  He  inherited  the  Fortheringay  estate  in 
Montgomery  county  which  he  exchanged  for  the  home  he  lived 
and  died  at  on  Reed  creek,  Wythe  county,  Virginia.  See  Mar- 
garet McGavock,  No.  6,  page  15. 

Jacob  Kent  the  immigrant  lived  but  a  few  years  after  his  mar- 
riage. His  widow  survived  him  many  years,  and  died  March, 
1826,  being  86  years  of  age.  She  had  several  brothers,  of  whom 
Colonel  Hugh,  Colonel  Andrew  and  Colonel  Walter  were  Revo- 


Addenda.  157 

lutionary  officers  in  the  Continental  army.  Two  of  the  brothers, 
Andrew  and  Walter,  removed  to  Kentucky  and  left  numerous 
descendants. 

They  are  related,  but  rather  distantly,  to  those  of  the  name 
now  living  in  southwest  Virginia. 

Of  the  descendants  of  the  brothers  of  Jacob  Kent,  Sen.,  we 
have  no  certain  knowledge;  but  it  is  more  than  probable  that 
Chancellor  Kent,  of  New  York,  author  of  Kent's  Commentaries, 
a  work  of  great  value  to  all  lawyers,  was  descended  from  one  of 
those  brothers  who  came  to  America  about  the  middle  of  the 
eighteenth  century,  as  was  also  the  late  Horace  L.  Kent,  for 
many  years  a  wholesale  dry  goods  merchant  of  Richmond,  Va. 

The  Kents  far  outnumber  any  other  of  the  descendants  of 
James  McGavock,  except  those  bearing  the  McGavock  name. 

EWING. 

The  name  in  all  probability  was  originally  "  MacEwen,"  being 
Scotch.  The  MacEwens  emigrated  from  Scotland  to  Ireland, 
and  thence  as  Scotch-Irish  to  America.  The  name  Ewen  is 
Gaelic  for  John,  and  then  Ewen  MacEwen  for  son  of  John. 
The  Mac  was  first  left  off  to  anglicise  the  name,  or  to  shorten  it. 
The  g  was  added  at  a  later  period  to  make  it  more  English,  or  to 
distinguish  it  from  some  other  name  in  en  or  in.  The  e  and  i  in 
such  names  being  often  interchanged. 

Andrew  Ewing,  the  ancestor  of  the  Virginia  and  Tennessee 
Ewings,  emigrated  to  America  from  the  city  of  Belfast,  Ireland, 
about  1720,  and  first  settled  in  Pennsylvania,  and  thence  moved 
to  Rockbridge  county,  Va.,  and  there  resided  until  his  death. 
Before  leaving  Ireland  he  married  Eliza  Milford.  Of  the  above 
Andrew  and  Eliza  was  born  Andrew,  in  Rockbridge  county,  Va., 
15  March,  1740,  and  married  Susannah  Shannon,  1760,  and  died 
in  Davidson  county,  Tenn.  (whither  they  had  moved),  April, 
1813. 

To  Andrew  Ewing  and  Susannah  were  born:  Andrew,  who 
married  Sallie  Hickman;  Margaret,  who  married  Andrew  Castle- 
man;  William,  who  married  Margaret  Love;  Amelia,  who  mar- 
ried Moses  Spear;  Nathan,  who  married  Sallie  Hill,  and  Elizabeth 
who  married  Thomas  Shannon. 


158  The  McGavock  Family. 

A  remarkable  occurrence  took  place  at  the  deaths  of  the 
brothers  Andrew  and  Nathan  Ewing,  which  occurred  i  May, 
1830.  A  few  moments  before  Andrew  died  he  said:  "  I  see  that 
Nathan  has  gone  before  me."  In  a  few  hours  a  messenger  from 
Nashville  arrived  in  Franklin,  Term.,  announcing  the  death  of 
Nathan,  of  whose  illness  Andrew  knew  nothing.  They  died  in 
a  few  moments  of  each  other. 

We  cannot  for  want  of  space  and  time  trace  up  all  the  differ- 
ent families  of  this  branch  of  Ewings,  but  will  refer  only  to  the 
family  of  William  Ewing,  who  married  Margaret  Love.  He 
was  born  in  Rockbridge  county,  Va.,  29  November,  1771,  mar- 
ried his  wife  26  May,  1795,  and  died  24  November,  1845.  They 
had  twelve  children,  as  follows:  Andrew  B.,see  Eliza  McDowell 
McGavock,  No.  21,  page  24;  Joseph  L.,  see  Sally  McGavock, 
No.  32,  page  30;  Felix;  Margaret;  Susan  S. ;  Milton  P.;  Eliza 
M. ;  William  L. ;  Jessie  H. ;  Cyrus  G. ;  Margaret  A. ;  Mary  Jane. 

This  family  of  Ewings,  as  above  recorded,  is  a  different  one 
though  we  suppose  distantly  related  to  that  family  referred  to  in 
a  foot  note  on  page  19  of  this  book.  That  Captain  Ewmg  was 
raised  by  his  uncle  Robert  Ewing,  of  Baltimore,  Md.  About 
1785  he  removed  to  Tennessee  and  settled  on  White's  creek, 
Davidson  county,  where  he  lived  until  his  death,  April,  1822. 
He  married  Sallie  Smith  in  1787,  and  they  had  born  to  them  the 
following  children:  John  Love,  James,  Lucinda,  see  book  page 
19,  William,  Alexander  C,  Randal  McGavock,  Oscar  Smith  and 
William  Black.  The  latter  was  the  father  of  Dr.  Ewing,  of 
Nashville,  who  married  a  Miss  Adams,  and  of  the  first  wife  of 
Hon.  James  Blackmore,  of  Gallatin,  Tenn.
