Notes for John (Spouse 1)
2395John, my great-great-great-great-grandfather, was born in 1748 in Louisa Co, VA and married Sabella MOSEBY(MOSBY), daughter of Samuel MOSEBY, February 21, 1788.  They moved to Surry Co, NC in the late 1780s or early 1790s.  After a short stay, they left for KY with seven slaves and at least three children. John first went to an area near Lexington and was dismayed by the canebreaks and went to northern KY in what was then Campbell Co.  I believe he settled on what is now Decoursey Pike and built a second house in 1804.  This was a brick house on a hill between Bank Lick Creek and the Licking River.  His first wife, Sabella, died (date unknown) and he remarried.  The second wife was Elizabeth NOBLE, daughter of Dr. Thomas NOBLE.  The brick home was reportedly torn down in the 1940s or 1950s.  I have not been able to find the exact location of this house, and would like to see if there is a graveyard there.   I found the records of the division of around 1000+ acres among his ten children when John died around 1831.  This information was found in the Alexandria Courthouse and really filled in a number of blanks for me.  The following is a list of the children and their spouses, hopefully, but not necessarily in order of their birth: Samuel, who married Mary MARTIN; John, who married Lucy NOBLE; Joseph, who married Sarah Grant LEMOND; Mary, who married James SIMMONS; Sabella, who married David ALLEN; Sarah, who married Elisha SIMMONS; Keturah, who married Charles HOLLIDAY; Louisa , who married Henry Hunt MAYO; William T., who married Lucetta WATTS; and James H., who married Elizabeth MARTIN.  Samuel's daughter Sabella married John W. STEVENSON, governor of KY.  Joseph's wife Sarah was the great-niece of Daniel BOONE.  Daniel's sister Elizabeth married William GRANT.  Their daughter married James LEMOND.  Joseph was in the war of 1812 serving under Squire Grant, his uncle.  During his service career, he went to Detroit.  Sarah Grant LEMOND's mother, Rebecca Boone Grant LEMOND, was the first white woman to be in Bryan's Station. [Note: There is some question about the spelling of Lemond.  It may be Lamond.]
