The research for this volume of The DuPre' Trail has come to an end reluctantly. It was asexciting as that for Volume I; however, there are questions that remain unanswered. Mostgratifying was the discovery of proofs that will correct an old lineage - that of Daniel Deupree ofOglethorpe County, Georgia - long perpetuated incorrectly.

The dominant purpose of this research was to find the immigrant ancestors’ records, as thesponsors are aware. Much work was done toward this in 1965 (see The DuPre Trail, Vol. I) bythis researcher. Back to Virginia this took me to begin a page by page examination of early Isle ofWight and Henrico County records, as well as some others. As you will discern, this was not ofsignificant success although several weeks were used for this effort.

It seemed for a time that this researcher would have very little to report On account of the failureof the above; however, by resorting to all available indices of many county records, muchpertinent DuPreana was obtained. To this were added Pitt County, N. C., and some Tennessee

records from the files of Mrs. Martin Ellison, Coral Gables, Fla., and Mrs. John S. Litchfield FortLee, Va., for which we are grateful and extend our thanks. Thanks also are extended to MiriamPritchard Skelton (Mrs. Clarence Cunningham Ske1ton), Atlanta, Ga., for a portion of the Putnamand Oglethorpe County records; to Mary W. DuPree (Mrs. Henry Gibson DuPree), Jacksonville,Fla., for the U. S. Treasury Loan Records, 1779, and for various miscellaneous items; to GraceDeuPree (Mrs. Charles Lamar DeuPree), Dallas, Texas, and to Dr. Allen Dupree King,Wilmington, Del., for items credited to them in the text. We are grateful to each of these for theircontributions.

In grateful appreciation I extend thanks to the many public officials in county courthouses,libraries, and the State Archives in Atlanta, Ga., Columbia, S. C., and Richmond, Va. All weremost gracious in giving their assistance when needed.

My thanks to each of the sponsors of this research for making it possible. It is regretted that morecould not be accomplished in the time allotted, but I hope you Will find herein something useful toyou in your own research.

An effort was made to avoid errors; however, they have a way of creeping in! It is to be hopedthat you will forgive my imperfections.

VIRGINIA

The Henry E. Huntington Library and Art Gallery, San Marine, California, 96028, has the original KingWilliam Parish Register (Henrico County, Va.) under File Classification BR 139. A & B, according to Mr.Beverly Fleet who compiled many of the "Virginia Colonial Abstracts". He stated that a photostatic copy ofthis Register had been sent to the Virginia State Library. Upon inquiry at the Library and the Archives, theinformation was that this evidently was in error, as they had no record of having received it. It was thoughtthat an examination of the original or photostatic copy might reveal information on the early DuPre familythat presently does not show in the copies available in print (Brook, Va. Hist. Mag., etc.). It is recognizedthat old manuscript documents are very difficult to read. King William Parish served the French Protestantrefugees who settled at Manakintowne, and the records, therefore, are of considerable importance in anyresearch of this group.

Also at the Huntington Library are documents and correspondence of the LIPSCOMBE Family (1770-1883) under File BR - Bares 28.29.

Below appear a few items from R. A. Brock's list of "Documents, Chiefly Unpublished (1936)," in Vol. 5of the Collections of the Virginia Historical Society, obtained by him from the King William ParishRegister:

He perhaps was the first husband of Janne Dupre, who after hisdeath married Jean Dupre (Jean Dupre d. 1734/5 - See Vol. I, p. 2, DuPre Trail).

!!"Memoirs of a Huguenot Family" (Translated and compiled scan the originalautobiography of the Rev. James Fontaine, the father of the Fontaines who came toAmerica - by Ann Maury 1853). This book was studied carefully for mention of any ofthe DuPre family; however, none was found. In fact few were mentioned other thanfamily. It seems that John Fontaine was the first to come to Virginia, arriving an the ship"The Dove", May 28, l715.

There was a drawing of a map at the head of a letter written from "Lunenburg Va. 9 July1752", by Peter Fontaine, Jun. of Rock Castle, Hanover Co., Va., showing the location ofChristiana Fort "now deserted" in Brunswick Co., in the far western part of the county onthe Meherrin River.

HENRICO COUNTY - Order Book 1719-1724.

This book shows that the Will of JOHN FORQUERAN was probated in 1720 and Inventory of the Estatefiled. In 1721 the Estate account was filed. The Will book for this period is missing.

NEW KENT COUNTY -

The few items extant far this county were examined. These included some miscellaneous Deeds amongmanuscript papers; however, there was only one dated prior to 1800. Negative.

WARWICK COUNTY -All extant records were examined - negative. These were miscellaneous court papers far the year 1665 andfor the years 1701-17 26

Orders 1695-1699, p. 36. 11 Nov. 1696. Brookes' suit against Depree dismissed for want of prosecution.

Comment: Embrey's Index of Old Rappahannock County records to 1692 and Essex Co.records, 1692-1700, were thoroughly checked for further mention of a Depree; however,none was found. - It was noted that in 1699 George Turner sued Jacob Devilliard onsome matter, the suit being dismissed.

This confirms that there were other French there prior to 1700.

JAMES CITY COUNTY -

Unfortunately no records are extant for this county. In 1957 the Rev. Lindsay O. Duvallcompiled what records he could muster for The period 1634 - 1904, and published themin Virginia Colonial Abstracts, Series 2, Vol. 4. A search of these records was negativefor DuPre. James City included the town only. James City Island included all the Islandoutside the city.

Va. Patent dated 26 April 1681r granted 593 acres of land to JAMES HALEY for thetransportation of four persons, unnamed. The land adjoined Jones, Doby, Wolf, Lewis,Phillips - crossing the James Town Road adj, Freeman and "to ye path". (Patent Bk. 7(1679-1689), Vol. 1, Pt. 1).

Also same Patent book, p. 261r: 16 Apr 1683, to Edward Ellerby 100 acres in James CityCounty, from the James River along Msr Powell's line of marked trees, north andeastwardly. Part of Patent of 600 acres granted Wm Haveat (?) 20 Oct 1661, who by lastwill & testament 25 Aug 1666 did bequest part to Wm Strong who on 8 Oct 167T byDeed conveyed the 100 acres, part of the 600 acres, to Stephen Butts. That part of JamesCity County west of the Chickahominy River was annexed to Charles City County in1720. Surry County was formed from James City County in 1652. A study of theformation of the counties comprising the Commonwealth of Virginia would be veryuseful when genealogical research is undertaken.

Comment: Isle Wight County records are said to be complete from 1636; however, they are in no "easy"research order. Wills, Deeds, and Orders are mixed in the same volumes, and while a volume may bemarked to include (for instance) records from 1662 to 1715 there might be several years' records missingentirely. They of course may be found in another volume. Due to the fact that Louis Dupre and LuranaDupre were known to have been in Isle of Wight Co. in 1720 (see elsewhere above), several volumes werechecked page by page. The indices of the following volumes were checked:

Comment: This appears to be the last accounting made by the Guardian. Guardians' Accounts through 1810were checked. - The THOMAS DUPREE, dec'd, to whom the above records refer was not the ThomasDupree who died in this (Lunenburg) County in 1786 (Will abstract, DuPre Trail, Vol. I, p. 7), It appearsfrom a study of the records that the Thomas Dupree mentioned in the records above was a son of LEWISDUPREE, who was a son of Thomas of Lunenburg Co. Thomas who left the orphans Mary, Susannah A ,and Banister, died in Charlotte Co., Va. Inventory and Appraisal of his Estate was filed in that county Oct.23, 1782. (See under Charlotte Co. herein).It is not known by this researcher what, if any, relationship therewas between this Thomas Dupree, dec'd, and Nathaniel and Thomas Dacus. We find the Dupree and Dacusfamilies still closely associated in the early 1800's in Laurens Co., South Carolina. (See Will of HenryAtkinson later). "Bannister DuPree's, age 50-60, appears on the 1830 Census for Pickens Dist., S. C. (Seelater).

Comment: On page 106 of Deed Book 24, there is a Deed recorded dated 16 Dec. 1815,wherein the Grantors, Edmund Dupree and Elizabeth his wife of Lunenburg Co., sell 522acres of land in the same county to Coleman Jeffreys. The location of this land was at thejunction of Swift Creek and Spring Branch to a point in the fence in Jno Dupuy's line.

Although the Index gives the spelling of Edmund's name as "Dupree", the recorded Deedshows that both he and Elizabeth signed their names as "Dupuy:. Dupuy apparently iscorrect.

It is suggested that Vol. I of The DuPre Trail be consulted for additional abstracts ofLunenburg Co. records.

Comment: The foregoing was a "rejected" claim; however, the reasonswere not given. Several correspondents give the year of his birth as1759; he therefore would have been of a suitable age to have seen somemilitary service during the Revolutionary' War. It is possible that hiswife did not give adequate details of his service, making it impossiblefor the Pension Office to identify.

The reader will identify Nancy Bailey Dupree as William's secondwife. His first wife was Amey Pettus. (Deed signed by William andAmy, p. 22; also, Will of John Pettus, Sr., p.

Lewellen William Dupree Jr (Seal)Elizabeth Dupree (Seal)Prov. 21 Feb. 1838.

COMMENT:

It is obvious from the court records that the Dupree, DeuPree families of Lunenburg, Charlotte,Mecklenburg, and Halifax Counties are closely related, all being descendants of THOMAS and wife,SUSANNAH, of Lunenburg. The inference also is clear that this THOMAS was the son of THOMAS whodied ca 1725 Henrico County and his wife, Margaret Easley Dupray. (See Vol. I, Dupre Trail).

THOMAS and SUSANNAH DEUPREE had the following children:

1. Lewis Deupree, m. 1) Amy Willingham; 2) Median Atkinson.2. Joseph Deupree, m. Madame Nannie Sullivan (? - Unproven).3. Elizabeth, m. Thomas Whitlock4. Margaret, m. David Stokes, Sr.5. Mary, m. William Brizendine.(For proofs, consult Vols. I and II, The DuPre Trail).

LEWIS and AMY (WILLINGHAM DEUPREE had:

1. Drury Deupree, m. Ann Atkinson (dau. of Median above).2. Daniel Deupree, m. Sally Ellington.

3. Lewis Jr.4. Sarah Deupree, m. James Pinson.5. Ann Deupree, m. Daniel Weatherford6. Thomas (d. Charlotte Co. 1782 may have been a son).

Lewis and Amy Deupree may have had other children, and it is believed that JOHNDUPREE who shows up on Mecklenburg Co. Personal Property Tax Lists may have beenhis son and Amy's. This probably was the John Dupree who married Nancy Short ofMecklenburg Co. (Vol. I and Vol. II, The DuPre Trail).

!

JOSEPH DEUPREE and his wife (name unproved) had:

1. William Deupree, m. 1) Amey Pettus, 2) Nancy Bailey (widow).2. Nanny m 1) Daniel Crenshaw; 2) Richard Knott.(There may have been others,deceased, and not named in Will).

!

The children of the daughters of THOMAS and SUSANNAH DEUPREE, Elizabeth,Margaret, and Mary are mentioned in the Will of Thomas Dupree. (Vol. 1).

!

Drury and Daniel Deupree, sons of Lewis and Amy, and perhaps Lewis and his secondwife, Median (Atkinson), moved on to Laurens Co., S. C. about 1795. A Lewis Dupreedied there in 1799, and Drury was appointed administrator of his Estate. By that time,Daniel had removed to Oglethorpe Co., Ga.; he reared a large family, and died there in1848. (See later). - A study of the records and other information in Vols. I and II, TheDuPre Trail, will confirm that this DANIEL DEUPREE, who died in Oglethorpe Co: Ga.,was not the son of Lewis DuPre who died in Little River, S. C., and was of BrunswickCo., N. C., as erroneously claimed by various persons through the past years. Somelineages have been built on this premise, but they no longer should be perpetuated.Apparently no proof has ever been offered in support of the claim that LEWIS DUPRE ofBrunswick Co. , N. C., had any children, although it is likely that he did. This researcherattempted to prove or disprove the assumption that he had children, but to no avail;neither could his wife's name be learned.

It is suggested that the reader follow through on the above to Laurens Co., S. C., andOglethorpe Co., Ga., records herein.

Marriage Notices from The Family Visitor, Apr. 6, 1822 - Apr. 3, 1824.(Ref: The Virginia Magazine, Vol, 67, 1959, p. 326):

(Married in Richmond) Capt. Isham G. Lundy, to Miss Eliza A. Dupree,both of Greenville (sic) Co, - September 13, 1823.

The Virginia Magazine of History & Biography, Vol, 65 (1957), p. 134,gives the following as AMENDMENTS TO RELIQUES OF THE RIVES, by J. Rives Childs:

"Hannah Rives, widow of Simon Rives, married 2nd Lewis Dupree. In her will dated 1806 and probated in1816, Lexington Dist.,S. C. she mentions her son Simon Rives and her grand-children Lewis Dupree, Jessie, Timothy, and Mary

Ann. These last werepresumably the children of Reed and Mary (Rives) Dupree."

This researcher questions the accuracy of the statement that Hannah Rives married 2nd Lewis Dupree.Hannah Rives (not Dupree) made a Deed ofGift, 12 Oct, 1816 (not 1806), in Lexington District, S. C., which was proved 20 May 1817, No Will wasfound, The Dupree children mentioned inthe Deed of Gift were indeed Hannah's grandchildren, as they were the children of Reed Dupree, son ofLewis Dupree, and Reed's wife, Mary (Rives) Dupree, Hannah Rives' daughter by her deceased husband,Simon Rives. Incidentally, another daughter of Reed and Mary (Rives) Dupree also wasmentioned in the Deed of Gift, namely, Priscilla Mathis, and her husband, Dr, John Mathis. (See Vol, I,The DuPre Trail), Hannah's daughter, Mary,also was mentioned as Mary Stewart, wife of Nathaniel W. Stewart. Mary had married the latter after ReedDupree's death ca 1805 in Washington Co., Ga.

The Deed records herein and in Vol. I, also the Personal Property and Land Tax Lists herein for GreensvilleCo., show that the only Lewis Dupree Mr. Childs possibly could have referred to either sold his land, withthe exception of 39 and 24 acre tracts, or devised the remainder by Deed of Gift to his son, James Dupree,together with all household equipment, farm stock and equipment, his "Great Bible", and a number ofNegroes, in 1793· Other Negroes were devised to other of his sons and daughters and to one grandchild in1795. His name appeared on the Land Tax lists with the two tracts of 39 and 24 acres each for the last timein 1798. The Personal Property Tax List for 1795 shows Lewis Dupree as the "taxpayer" and with JamesDupree, above age 21, living in the household. For the years 1796, 1797, and 1798, this situation wasreversed, and James was shown as the taxpayer with Lewis, above age 21, in the household. After 1798only James is listed for Personal Property Tax, and through 1802. The Land Tax Lists do not show Jamesas paying taxes on his father's 39 and 24 acres. More study needs to be done on this in an effort to learnwhat disposition was made of Lewis's acreage. - This researcher believes he died 1798 or 1799."

Hannah Rives sold her 335 acres of land in 1793 to Joshua Mayes. The previous year she was shownpaying Personal Property Tax, with her son,Thomas Rives, above 21, in her household. It is presumed that she moved on to South Carolina about thetime she sold her land in 1793.

*(See records of Northampton Co., N. C., for adequate proof that Lewis Dupree was deceased before 23Oct. 1804).

Vol. 6, p. 66 - Dr. H. n. McIlwaine, former Librarian of the Virginia StateLibrary, stated that the term "Huguenots" was never used inthe official records of the State, nor did the FrenchProtestant refugees call themselves Huguenots. They consid-ered it a term of reproach applied to them by their enemies.It first came into use about 1560, but its origin is notknown. The term afterwards was accepted by them because ofits convenience, and also because of the heroism shown in thepersecution by many called Huguenots.

Most of the French refugees who came to Virginia ca 1700settled at Manakin The first ship to arrive was the "Maryand Ann the second, the "Peter and Anthony". The thirdship came about the 20th of October 1700; however, the nameof the ship nor the number of passengers was recorded. Onlya few of these passengers went to Manakintowne, and nearlyall others dispersed into various parts of the Colony. Thefourth ship under Capt. Tragian arrived March 5, 1701, hav-ing sailed from Blackwall Dec, 8, 1700.

Jeremiah Dupree

Deposition No. 1 establishes that the death of Lewis Dupree, Sr., ofGreensville Co., Va., occurred prior to Oct. 23, 1804. (He disappears fromthe Tax Lists after the 1798 listing). While these documents do not speci-fically state that he is deceased, it must be presumed that had he been alivehe could have settled the question of ownership of the Negro Abram, makinga suit in Court unnecessary. In the case of James Horton against JamesDupree (see p. 573 we find that this case was established already by 2 May1808 and possibly before. It could not have been instituted before the deathof Lewis Dupree, Sr., as his being deceased was a factor in the case. Notethe Court's question on 28 Oct. 1811, "In whom was the title of the NegroStephen at the death of Lewis Dupree?"

The case of James Horton against Jesse Dupree re ownership of the NegroAbram establishes that Dolly Dupree, the grand-daughter of Lewis Dupree, Sr.,

was the illegitimate daughter of Rebecca Dupree, and not the daughter ofher brother, James Dupree, and his wife named Dolly.

The family to which Jesse Dupree belonged has not been proven, althoughfrom a number of records, including the case above, the inference is ratherclear that he was a son of Lewis Dupree, Sr., and brother of Rebecca Horton,Elizabeth Gregory, Jeremiah, James, Reid, and Cordall Dupree.

Ref: The Cape Fear (Rivers of America), by Malcolm Ross, 1965:

Mr. Ross states that the "Goose Creek Faction" of South Carolina,after up-setting the proprietary government, moved on to the LowerCape Fear. Their leaders were the Moores, whose ancestor was RogerMoore, a descendant of Irish kings and leader of an Irish Rebellionat the time of the Roundhead wars. James Moore, Roger's son, was thefirst of the Moores to come to the Charleston Colony. He marriedSir John Yeaman's step-daughter, Margaret Berringer. Of their ninechildren, James, Jr., Maurice, Roger, and Nathaniel pioneered in theCape Fear region; spear-headed the settlement after the pirates werebanished about 1725. Maurice actually was the one who planned thesettlement. His first wife was the widow of Col. Samuel Swann, anddaughter of Major Alexander Lillington. Maurice Moore's second wife

was a Porter. - Brunswick, N. C., was planned by Maurice in 1726.Orton Plantation, just north of Brunswick, was owned by Roger Moore,He built the beautiful house there that still stands, and with its gar-dens has become a sight-seeing attraction.

It is thought by some that the DuPres (Duprees) of the CapeFear Region came from Virginia. The information above has been givento show that it is more than likely they came from the Charleston regionthan from Virginia, admitting that the latter was possible.(Note hdr. Ross's book was not quoted, and is given as a refer-ence only for information as to source of some facts; other factsare a part of history, from which he too must have drawn.

I would remark that in distribution of my property heretoforemade among my children, my object has been equality. If I have not suc-ceeded the failure has been unintentional. I have not now, nor have hadheretofore, any partialities to gratify or Prejudices to overcame. I loveall my children and my constant aim has been to give each one an equal shareof my estate. I have previous to the year 1846, given to each of my children,property & money to the amount of three thousand dollars. During the year1846, I gave property to the children of my deceased son, Joseph to the valueof $1600.00. To my daughter, Lucy Lumpkin, property to the value of $1700.00.To each of my sons, Daniel & Elijah, property to the value of $1600.50. I waswilling to give at the same time to my son in law John Starnes property tothe value of $1600.00 provided he would obligate himself to hand it over &convey it at the death of his wife, Elizabeth Starnes, to the Children of mysaid daughter, Elizabeth, by her previous husband, Josiah Rainey- John Starneswas unwilling to receive said property upon this condition, and the final ar-

To the Librarian

When I was last in Richmond Mrs D'r Geo. W. Bagbyfilled the office to which you have been assigned. I had met her at herhouse in Richmond. Her husband & I were associated for a time as Journalistsin the "Old Whig" office, "bello flagrantion" in Richmond. I hope she stillserves the State & will be kind enough to answer the questions I propound.

With great respect I amyrs very trulyLouis DuPre'

The second letter was typewritten, double spaced, on legal size paper.

(2) Clinton, Mississippi April 6th 1891

Dear Mrs Bagby;

My acquaintance and friendly relations with Dr. Bagby began evenin my boyhood. He and I and the late Sunset Cox of glorious memory"et in Washington at Buchanan's inauguration. I remained some weeks in theFed. capital while whe (sie) Dr. was there only a day or two. But wenever forgot the accident and good fortune involved in this day spent sojoyously with the most brilliant youth, as Mr. Cox was then esteemed, of histime. But he and Tom Corwin were inveterate jesters as matchless oratorsand I had the good fortune to hear Corwin tell my late father-in-law,James C. Jones that if he had never "cracked a jode he would have beenPresident."

Then again, in 1863 when for a time I was Clerk of a Com. on Militaryaffairs of the Confed. Congress, I made Dr. Bagby's my office which was thatof Mr, Moseley Ed, of the Old Richmond Whig. Do you remember Mr. Moseley?What a frank, confiding, generous old gentleman he was! I was introduced tohim by Dr. B. as a "newspaper man". An hour later Mr. Moseley was summoned tothe country. I was still in in Dr. B 's "telegraph" apartment. He approachedme saying, "you have been reading the Whig and know what it advocates andopposes". " want you to run it for me till I return',. Do you know that Iwill be more boastful of this trust reposed and of the fidlity (sie) and skill.With which I executed it than of laudation conceded by the Dep't of State whenI served it in an international embroglio By the way, Mr. Moseley --and. Gov.Jones were singularly alike in person, stature - singularly tall and slendor --and their photographs were fac similes. Jones was born at the Hermitage inTenn. but his father and mother were Virginians as are these all of people thatget to heaven I humbly imagine - when writing to a loyal Virginenne And thisleads me to inquire whether, in delveng (sie) amon:g old books or pamphletswhich I exploited somewhat when I was Committee clerk, as aforesaidState Library, you ever encountered any allusion to persons of:--- namegrandfather, Dan'l DuPre was, in his youth, a soldier under LaFayetteto be 90 years old dying, in 1848, in Lexington Va. I used to hear and see the

the old gentleman when he was "fighting all his battles o'er again". The oldman never loved Gee. Washington, He said that he and and LaFayette starved out(p. 2) Cornwallis and finally cooped him up in Yorktown. Then came DeGresseand Hochambeau, and when the French, under LaFayette, an land, and under De-Grease, at sea, had won the victory, "the good and great G. W. hustled down fromTappul were (sie) he had been hanging poor Andre far six or 8 months, and nod-estly received Cornwallis' sword reporting to Congress a greet Victory for sheCountry,s paternal ancestor, so-called.

Many thanks, Mrs Bagby, for answers to to those historical and otherquestions propounded The others, unanswered are immaterial.

It occurs to me at the moment, that I have a letter from Hon. Henry L.Bentley of Abeline Texas - the matchless orator of those parts - inquiringabout the history and deeds of my grandfather. Bentley's grandfather was alsonamed Dan'l DuPre. He was forty years Pres't and Cashier of the state Bank OfN. C. at Raleigh. He and my grandfather (sie), I opine, were first cousins.Their father or grandfather came, with senator Bayard's people, to Phil'a about1670. That's all I know about them. My great grandfather owned thie site ofthe present town of Manchester your Richmond suburb. He sold 99 year leases,These expired about thirty years ago. Christian and Carrington were employedby the heirs of this old Dan'l DuPre, my grandfather, to sue for the property.All records had been burned twice or thrice. We could prove nothing, and thelegislature of Va properly legislatd to quiet titles and very properly I wassuppressed. However I am pleased to tell you that I am the hereditary ownerof much realty about Richmond. The additional fact remains to be stated thatmy mother's name was Francine Bolling Cox and this fact induced me to seek theacquaintance of Sunset Cox, as heretofore stated. Two of my' mother's uncleswere in the battle at Monmouth Court House, N. J. One was wounded and remainedin tht (sie) State and was married there. I fancied that Sunset Cox (barn inN.J.) might be my cousin. I mentioned the matter once. He only laughed at theodd conceit saying "I always knew that I was of royal blood." My mother'smother eras named Cabinesse.; her grandfather was John Cox to whom the Crownissued a grant on parchment from King Charles, I think it was, conveyingto "John Cox Gent". the County of Dinwiddie. My father's home wasdestroyed bello flagrante with every old book and heirloom of the house. Iwish to answer Mr. Bentley's letter. Before doing so I would gladly hearfrom you. There is something in that old Library about every old family ofthe old Dominion. I am, with sincere regard,Yrs sincerelyLouis J. DuPre'On the reverse of the last page of the above letter was the following inlong-hand:

You had an admirable portrait of Henry Clay & I have his watch. Don'tyou remember the conversation evoked by these facts at your home?

(Also) Gov. 6( U. S. Senator James C. Jones was named James "Chamberlayne"Jones. See what is said of him within.

The picture of Louis J. DuPre referred to earlier is of a fine looking,bearded man, somewhat past middle-age It is regretted that it cannot bereproduced herein.

Letter No. 2 is valuable for the family information it gives, most ofwhich can be taken as fact. However, it should be evaluated carefullyas to what is fact and what could be the failing but fantastic memory ofan old man, with perhaps a slender thread of truth with which he embroideredit, unconsciously, as the years passed. No reflection upon him - just oneof the vagaries of old age. There is no doubt that he knew who his parentsand grandparents were; however, his supposition that Daniel DuPre,Cashier ofthe State Bank, Raleigh, N. C., for 40 years, and his own grandfather whodied in Lexington, Ga., were cousins is certainly open to question. Hestated that his great grandfather owned the site of the present town ofManchester, suburb of Richmond, Va. This is in error according to facts,as his great grandfather was Lewis Deupree, son of Thomas Deupree of Lunen-burg Co., Va. These relationships are proven conclusively elsewhere herein.Thomas Deupree's father also was Thomas who married Margaret Easley. Thelatter Thomas did die in Henrico Co., Va., ca. 1725, but there is greatdoubt that he ever owned more than a small grant (Patent) of land. His wifeinherited 150 acres in Henrico Co. from her father, Robert Easley. It'spossible that some of the acreage owned by either could have come down totheir son, Thomas of Lunenburg Co; however, there are no Henrico records tosupport this. Lewis, the father of Daniel, sold his holdings in Lunenburg

and Mecklenburg Counties in the early 1790s and removed to Laurens Co., S. C.,where he died ca. 1799. This was Louis J. DuPre's greatgrandfather. Hemust have disposed of most of his property before death, as the inventory ofhis estate, filed by his son, Drury the administrator, showed a modestamount of property. - Some interested descendant might learn much about theearly ancestry of this family by delving into the Court records of HenricoCo. I suggest that sane information might be found under "Land Causes".

Old letters can be a treasury of information; however, take the "leads"they give and prove them.

My acquaintance and friendly relations with Dr. Bagby began evenin my boyhood. He and I and the late Sunset Cox of glorious memory"et in Washington at Buchanan's inauguration. I remained some weeks in theFed. capital while whe (sie) Dr. was there only a day or two. But wenever forgot the accident and good fortune involved in this day spent sojoyously with the most brilliant youth, as Mr. Cox was then esteemed, of histime. But he and Tom Corwin were inveterate jesters as matchless oratorsand I had the good fortune to hear Corwin tell my late father-in-law,James C. Jones that if he had never "cracked a jode he would have beenPresident."

Then again, in 1863 when for a time I was Clerk of a Com. on Militaryaffairs of the Confed. Congress, I made Dr. Bagby's my office which was thatof Mr, Moseley Ed, of the Old Richmond Whig. Do you remember Mr. Moseley?What a frank, confiding, generous old gentleman he was! I was introduced tohim by Dr. B. as a "newspaper man". An hour later Mr. Moseley was summoned tothe country. I was still in in Dr. B 's "telegraph" apartment. He approachedme saying, "you have been reading the Whig and know what it advocates andopposes". " want you to run it for me till I return',. Do you know that Iwill be more boastful of this trust reposed and of the fidlity (sie) and skill.With which I executed it than of laudation conceded by the Dep't of State when

I served it in an international embroglio By the way, Mr. Moseley --and. Gov.Jones were singularly alike in person, stature - singularly tall and slendor --and their photographs were fac similes. Jones was born at the Hermitage inTenn. but his father and mother were Virginians as are these all of people thatget to heaven I humbly imagine - when writing to a loyal Virginenne And thisleads me to inquire whether, in delveng (sie) amon:g old books or pamphletswhich I exploited somewhat when I was Committee clerk, as aforesaidState Library, you ever encountered any allusion to persons of:--- namegrandfather, Dan'l DuPre was, in his youth, a soldier under LaFayetteto be 90 years old dying, in 1848, in Lexington Va. I used to hear and see thethe old gentleman when he was "fighting all his battles o'er again". The oldman never loved Gee. Washington, He said that he and and LaFayette starved out(p. 2) Cornwallis and finally cooped him up in Yorktown. Then came DeGresseand Hochambeau, and when the French, under LaFayette, an land, and under De-Grease, at sea, had won the victory, "the good and great G. W. hustled down fromTappul were (sie) he had been hanging poor Andre far six or 8 months, and nod-estly received Cornwallis' sword reporting to Congress a greet Victory for sheCountry,s paternal ancestor, so-called.

Many thanks, Mrs Bagby, for answers to to those historical and otherquestions propounded The others, unanswered are immaterial.

It occurs to me at the moment, that I have a letter from Hon. Henry L.Bentley of Abeline Texas - the matchless orator of those parts - inquiringabout the history and deeds of my grandfather. Bentley's grandfather was alsonamed Dan'l DuPre. He was forty years Pres't and Cashier of the state Bank OfN. C. at Raleigh. He and my grandfather (sie), I opine, were first cousins.Their father or grandfather came, with senator Bayard's people, to Phil'a about1670. That's all I know about them. My great grandfather owned thie site ofthe present town of Manchester your Richmond suburb. He sold 99 year leases,These expired about thirty years ago. Christian and Carrington were employedby the heirs of this old Dan'l DuPre, my grandfather, to sue for the property.All records had been burned twice or thrice. We could prove nothing, and thelegislature of Va properly legislatd to quiet titles and very properly I wassuppressed. However I am pleased to tell you that I am the hereditary ownerof much realty about Richmond. The additional fact remains to be stated thatmy mother's name was Francine Bolling Cox and this fact induced me to seek theacquaintance of Sunset Cox, as heretofore stated. Two of my' mother's uncleswere in the battle at Monmouth Court House, N. J. One was wounded and remainedin tht (sie) State and was married there. I fancied that Sunset Cox (barn inN.J.) might be my cousin. I mentioned the matter once. He only laughed at theodd conceit saying "I always knew that I was of royal blood." My mother'smother eras named Cabinesse.; her grandfather was John Cox to whom the Crownissued a grant on parchment from King Charles, I think it was, conveyingto "John Cox Gent". the County of Dinwiddie. My father's home wasdestroyed bello flagrante with every old book and heirloom of the house. Iwish to answer Mr. Bentley's letter. Before doing so I would gladly hearfrom you. There is something in that old Library about every old family ofthe old Dominion. I am, with sincere regard,Yrs sincerelyLouis J. DuPre'On the reverse of the last page of the above letter was the following inlong-hand:

You had an admirable portrait of Henry Clay & I have his watch. Don'tyou remember the conversation evoked by these facts at your home?

(Also) Gov. 6( U. S. Senator James C. Jones was named James "Chamberlayne"Jones. See what is said of him within.

The picture of Louis J. DuPre referred to earlier is of a fine looking,bearded man, somewhat past middle-age It is regretted that it cannot bereproduced herein.

Letter No. 2 is valuable for the family information it gives, most ofwhich can be taken as fact. However, it should be evaluated carefullyas to what is fact and what could be the failing but fantastic memory ofan old man, with perhaps a slender thread of truth with which he embroideredit, unconsciously, as the years passed. No reflection upon him - just oneof the vagaries of old age. There is no doubt that he knew who his parentsand grandparents were; however, his supposition that Daniel DuPre,Cashier ofthe State Bank, Raleigh, N. C., for 40 years, and his own grandfather whodied in Lexington, Ga., were cousins is certainly open to question. Hestated that his great grandfather owned the site of the present town ofManchester, suburb of Richmond, Va. This is in error according to facts,as his great grandfather was Lewis Deupree, son of Thomas Deupree of Lunen-burg Co., Va. These relationships are proven conclusively elsewhere herein.Thomas Deupree's father also was Thomas who married Margaret Easley. Thelatter Thomas did die in Henrico Co., Va., ca. 1725, but there is greatdoubt that he ever owned more than a small grant (Patent) of land. His wifeinherited 150 acres in Henrico Co. from her father, Robert Easley. It'spossible that some of the acreage owned by either could have come down totheir son, Thomas of Lunenburg Co; however, there are no Henrico records tosupport this. Lewis, the father of Daniel, sold his holdings in Lunenburg

and Mecklenburg Counties in the early 1790s and removed to Laurens Co., S. C.,where he died ca. 1799. This was Louis J. DuPre's greatgrandfather. Hemust have disposed of most of his property before death, as the inventory ofhis estate, filed by his son, Drury the administrator, showed a modestamount of property. - Some interested descendant might learn much about theearly ancestry of this family by delving into the Court records of HenricoCo. I suggest that sane information might be found under "Land Causes".

Old letters can be a treasury of information; however, take the "leads"they give and prove them.

The following item was contributed by Mr. and Mrs. Charles Lamar DeuPree,of Dallas, Texas. The article was contained in a small pamphlet which wasforwarded to Mr. DeuPree. On the face of the pamphlet was:FORWARDED AS OF INTERESTJohn F. RyanConnnittee on Public Affairsof theAmerican Petroleum Institute1271 Avenue of the Americas . New York, N. Y. 10020Following the above was the picture of an old church, under which wasthis description:MOSTLY A MEMORY - The only remains of the historic and onceinfluential Sharon Baptist Church in Noxubee County are a fewgraying tcmbstones and timbers used to build the Pilgrim'sRest Baptist Church in the background. The Sharon Churchexisted from 1846 to 1915. Photo by Broox Sledge.Inside the pamphlet is the following article about the old church,written by Broox Sledge, Macon, Miss:

A faded minute book, a few timbers forming part of another structure,and some graying tombstones are all that remain of the simple grandeur ofone of the most historic and influential churches ever to exist in Noxubeecounty.The Sharon Baptist Church was a vital part of the Deerbrook area eastof Brooksville from its organization in 1846 until its dissolution in 1915.The old minute book is the property of Mrs, William Deupree of Memphis.The remaining timbers form the foundation and support structure for

the present-day Pilgrim's Rest Colored Baptist Church in approximately thesame location as the one-time site of the Sharon church.The graying tombstones remain in the old Sharon cemetery which holdsnot only the remains of some of the county's finest early influentialreligious personages but also the bones of four victims of a murder orgyunequalled in Noxubee county's lore of the past.

FIRST MEMBERSThe Sharon Baptist Church was organized Oct. 31, 1846. The churchnamed as its first deacons Daniel and Elijah Deupree, with William Cun-ningham named church clerk, and William Manning the first pastor.It is not (c)lear why the names of Daniel and Elijah Deupree werenot on the list of founding members. (The names of their slaves were.)They were listed in the minutes as being present at the meeting to con-sider the organization of the church. Possibly they were already mem-bers of another church and did not leave to join Sharon until alldetails were complete and the church actually an organized body.This mystery is also true and Jared D. Brooks, who became one ofthe church's outstanding members and the man for whom the town ofBrooksville was named.

GROWTHS AND PROBLEMSSuccessive entries in the old minute book reveal the growth - andthe problems - of the newly-formed church.Jared D. Brooks had his troubles from time to time with the church.In July 1850 an entry stated: "J. D. Brooks wrote the church a lettertelling of trespassing on rules in a fight with Mr. Winkfield Saidhe would apologize but already had done it so many times, the churchprobably wouldn't let him do it." The church took no action againsthim in this instance.An entry in January 1854r read: "J. D. Brooks excluded from thechurch for acting as a second in a duel between Dr. Irby and Dr. Fant,a duel in which Dr. Kirby was killed. " The church then went on tocondemn duelling in no uncertain terms.There are varying estimates as to just when the first SundaySchool was organized. Certainly the Sunday School organized at theSharon Church in January 1847 was the first in Noxubee County, quitepossibly the first in the state. Another Sunday School was organizedby the church in 1866 for freed-men, but soon the freedmen beganrequestina and receiving transfers to their own African Church.The last entry in the old minute book was dated June 1873 andconcerned Bro. A. Blewitt and J. W. Deupree being appointed to lookinto the possibility of having Bro. George Wharton to preach for thechurch.A special tribute was paid Jared D. Brooks in the minutes afterhis death on april 2, 1863. He was serving as Noxubee county staterepresentative at his death.The tribute in the minute book said he was "honest and honorable......had integrity of character ...and was independent in opinion andfearless in the expounding of same." His tomb has never been found.Surmise is that his remains are resting either in the Sharon, Deerbrook,or Brooksville burial grounds, but no stone with his inscription onit has ever been brought to light.Shortly before 1900 the church was moved about three miles eastto Deerbrook and built upon ground donated by Latt Deupree. Some of

the church leaders of that time and shortly thereafter were WayneDeupree, Capt Snowden, the Robertsons, the Clays, Harrisons, Cavetts,Bells, and other members of the Deupree family.Shortly after 1920 the building was sold and torn down with the moneygoing to the Brooksville Baptist Church. Some of the timbers were usedin the building of the Pilgrim's Rest Colored Baptist Church on the oldsite next to the cemetery.Thus an era passes.

There is an unpublished manuscript in the records of the Noxubee CountyHistorical Society concerning the Deupree family entitled "Historical Notesof Noxubee County, Mississippi" collected and written by John Anderson Tysonin 19 26-19 27 . Chapter XII, ''Some Distinguished Citizens of Noxubee County",contains some genealogy of the Deupree family, a copy of which was graciouslysent to this researcher by Dr. Allen Dupree King, Wilmington, Delaware. Thefollowing information was obtained from this genealogy. Although no refer-ences were given for the data and therefore is unproven by this researcher,it will prove of value in further research on this family:

Daniel Deupree settled first east of the Tombigbee River in Pickens Co.(Miss.). He purchased a large tract of land and built a handsome residencenow known as the "Tucker Madison Place", although the original house was burned.Daniel moved to Macon after his home burned, and built the house now owned byA.

One of his sons, Col.Louis Deupree, was a voluntary aide to Gen. B. Bate. After the War Betweenthe States, Louis was engaged in journalistic work in Memphis, Tenn. Healso was a U. S.

John Greer Deupree was aprofessor at Mississippi University taught consecutively for 25 years, andretired under the Carnegie Fund. He died at his home in Jackson, Miss.,"a few years ago".Elijah Deupree was a large land owner. He built a colonial residenceabout one mile south of Daniel's home (his brother's). Elijah's youngestson, Charles Barnett Deupree, died before 1861. William Daniel Deupree andThomas Jefferson Deupree (Elijah's sons) were captains in the ConfederateCavalry. Joseph Lattimore (Latt) Deupree and James Wayne Deupree were

privates. William Daniel Deupree was a successful farmer in the Clifton-ville neighborhood, and later moved to and engaged in the cotton business inJackson, Tennessee. He died there "about fifteen years ago".Dr. Thomas Jefferson Deupree retired from his practice and moved to Jack-son, Tenn., where he taught Natural Science in Union University for over30 years. Two of his grandsons, Thomas Wayne Deupree and Edward Deupree,were Colonels in the First World War. Joseph Lattimore (Latt) Deupree wasa planter and merchant at Deerbrook, but later moved to Jackson, Tenn., andwas in the insurance business. His last years were spent at Mayhew.James Wayne Deupree entered service as a volunteer when he was 36 yearsof age. He finished his education at Howard Colege, Marion, Alabama. Heinherited the old Dupree place from his father, to which he took his bride,Della Bush.
