Genesee Ahnentafel

1. Genesee Jack Perry, born April 13, 1917 in Lowell, Washington, Ohio (Source: Birth certificate #91986 incorrectly indicates 4/26, which is Edwards correct date, Genessee always celebrated April 13 as the correct did, as did his mother.); died June 17, 1987 in Canton, Stark, Ohio. He was the son of 2. John Quincy Perry and 3. Lola Lee Parsons. He married (1) Audrey Zella Hupp July 04, 1943 in Canton, Stark, Ohio. She was the daughter of Samuel Martin Hupp and Catherine Eunice Graham.

Genesee Jack Perry was a hard working family man all of his life; like his father John Quincy and Grandfather Elijah. While in high school, I remember Dad working at least three jobs. He worked the steel mills as a Metallurgical Observer, working the swing shift; he also owned and operated a gas station, both of these full time jobs. He also drove Charter bus trips in his spare time. As a child, I remember frequent trips to visit relatives, both Perry's and Hupp's. My favorite was always going to visit Grandpa Perry on Cat's Creek, Washington Co., OH. There were always lots of cousins, Aunts and Uncles there most Sundays. Dad and the Perry family always enjoyed a love of nature and spent many hours on the farm hunting and fishing the local rivers. I remember with great fondness the annual vacations that always seem to take in the enjoyment of the natural things around us, such as the ocean and mountains.

2. John Quincy Perry, born February 02, 1893 in Twelve Pole Creek, Lincoln, West Virginia; died April 18, 1993 in Marietta, Washington, Ohio. He was the son of 4. Elijah Perry and 5. Polly Emily Workman. He married 3. Lola Lee Parsons December 16, 1911.

3. Lola Lee Parsons, born November 21, 1884 in Ripley, Jackson, West Virginia (Source: Death certificate has 11/24/1884, Family state Lola always celebrated the 21st, used here.); died October 04, 1971 in Lowell, Washington, Ohio (Source: Death certificate). She was the daughter of 6. Austin Lee Parsons and 7. Clara Elizabeth Dawkins.

John Quincy was a Farmer, Lumberjack and Coal Miner. He loved the outdoors and working his farm on Cat's Creek in Washington Co., OH. He spent most of his life in the log cabin he purchased with Lola Lee Parsons. Some of my best memories as child are spending summers on the farm getting up at 5AM and going after the cattle for milking, then doing chores, picking tomatoes and corn using an ol' mule hauling the corn crib through the rows of corn. I remember Grandpa as being a man of great strength, even after he had to enter a nursing home do to the loss of eyesight and hearing. He lived to be a 100 years old. The log cabin still stands on Cat's Creek, much the same as it was then, even though much has changed on the creek over the years. The cabin was owned by my father, Genesee Jack who made extensive repairs, it is now owned by his brother Ellis.

Some confusion exists about John Q's birth date. Some of his children state that his birth year was 1892, this date was put on his gravestone. Audrey Z Hupp, w of Genesee Perry, states that Grandpa said they were incorrect. Based upon the marriage date of Elijah Perry & Polly Emily Workman of June 5, 1892 I believe that the 1893 date to be correct one and have used it in this history.

Lola Lee Parsons was a homemaker, mother and a school teacher. As a child, I remember the wonderful meals she always prepared and how good they tasted, especially after working in the fields with my Grandfather. She was a Democrat and loved to debate politics with anyone who dared to challenge her views. She raised a large farm family and was the strength that bonded them together.

Her death certificate shows the 11/24/1884 as the birth date. The family states the she always said her birthday was the 21st.

During the Civil War Alexis Parsons dealt in horses, selling them them to both sides. He also bought up land for taxes due and since there were no banks money was borrowed at Gen. McCausland's on the Kanawha River. In the Jackson Herald, April 28, 1950 published the story of "Lex" Parsons captured during the Civil War and being taken before a military court for being thought to be handling to much flour. He was able to prove that the flour which he was caring from Racine, Ohio was for his family and neighbors and was released.

He was an investor in the first railroad that came to Ripley and was one of the organizers of the Bank of Ripley, Aug. 10, 1891. He was elected chairman and served in this position until his death. it is said he had a talent for finances accompanied by a strong common sense.

Phoebe Casto was a typical pioneer women, she could use a Flint Rock rifle with deadly precision and thought nothing of shooting a bear that came near her home or a wildcat molesting the dogs. She attended the community's "Old Fields School" provided by the State of Virginia ; which offered each child four months schooling for three successive years, free gratis. The name Casto is neither a Spanish or French word. It is an Italian word which means 'Purity'. In Northern Italy there are several families of the people having the surname.

Henry Marrs is the o&127dest son of Samuel and he stayed in Tazewell County VA when his father Samuel and most of the rest of the family moved to KY in 1893.

"..... a certain parcel or track of land lying on the north side of clinch river containing53 acres thirty poles being part of a tract of one hundred acres granted to Henry Mars land patent bearing date the second day of May one thousand seven hundred-eighty seven and bounded by followeth toward beginning at a large white oak corner to a track of land patent to William Maxwell thence N 38 W74 poles to a black oak and two beaches N 88 W 92 poles to two blackoaks, a white oak and gum saplings S 7 E 6 poles to a stake.

" (some words hard to read so written as I thought it read)He took over the family land, and when he died in 1830, his land holding hadgrown to 1341 acres

>From Deed Book #5 p 2&12729 and 230 " Whereas Henry Marrs late of the County of Tazewell in the state of Virginia was in his lifetime siezed in fee simple of and in the following estate in the said County of Tazewell to wit about five hundred and seventy acres of Land lying two miles west of Tazewell Courthouse about one hundred rods lying on the head of Clusters(?Bluestone) in the County for said and about fourteen or fifteen hundred acres ____ Crockett's Cove in the County aforesaid and an undivided interest in a piece of land lyi&127ng on the rich Mountain in the County and the said Henry Marrs hath departed this life intestate as to the said estate inconseq&127&127uence where of the same has decended and passed to his nine children with Widows right of dower, and I Samuel Marrs being one of the children and heirs of said Henry Marrs Be it known to all men by these present that I the Samuel Mars of the County and State aforesaid have made ordained authorized constituted and appointed and in my place and stead put James Wynn of the County and state aforesaid my true and lawful attorney for me and in my name and in my behalf to enter into recover and take possession of my part of theafore said land ................"affixed my seal this 24th day of September in the year of Christ 1831.

land records of 1838 and 1841 showing Maxwell, William and James as those receiving his land after his death. (summarized under James). We easily go back to James Marrs who married Sally Workman 26 Dec 1810 in Tazewell Co. VA and evidence gathered by man&127y family members lists John, Thomas, James, David W., Wesley and Samuel as James' sons.

85. Francina Bradshaw, born Abt 1742 in PA (Source: Jean Leeper); died Abt 1775 in Tazewell, VA (Source: Jean Leeper). She was the daughter of 170. Christopher Bradshaw.

A few years after his marriage he removed to Rockbridge County Virginia, butremained there but a short time, when he move to what is now Tazewell County VA. We link up with this Samuel Marrs who settled In Thompson's Valley,Taze&127well Co., VA in 1773 - p 344 "BICKLEY'S HISTORY OF TAZEWELL COUNTY, VA"and his wife Francina Bradshaw died there about 1775. She had brothers,James, John and Christopher Bradshaw. In 1793 he removed to Jassemine County KY and settled on the Catnip Hill Road on a small farm of 100 acres more orless bought of a Mr. Hampton for 105 pounds. Samuel lived on this farm until his death at age 77. Gaines Tax List 1795 has Samuel in Mercer County, KY. A Samuel Marrs in Barron County in 1800 and a Samuel Mars in Granklin County 8/10/1801. It was believed he was a small active man. He and his last wifeare buried in the graveyard at the old place. Also in the Tazewell County area in 1774 there are Marrs by the names of John or Joseph who helped fight the Indians. p &127299 of "HISTORY OF TAZEWELL CO. AND SW VA" by Wm. C Pendleton c 1920. In a letter to Major Campbell 30th Sept 1774 Captain Smith lists at the foot of his letter a list of men he was taking with him "to assist the alarmed garrison at Castle Woods." Included are: John Mares (Marrs), Joseph Mares (Marrs), and Thomas Maxwell. It also states on that page "Nearly every man on roll was from the Clinch section, now in Tazewell Co..."

About 1773 Samuel and Francina bought land in Thompson Valley in the area of t&127&127&127azewell, VA. The Log Cabin set on the Northside of Clinch River. Here is where Francina (Bradshaw) MARRS is buried. She was buried on the south hill behind the log cabin. There are 10 or 11 graves there. Nothing is known of her parents.

Note: I have received some deed records from Wythe County, VA (area mentioned now Tazewell County, VA) All dated the 14th day of Feb 1792 Four records: All deeds given or sold by Samuel Marrs and Lettice his wife deeding land for five pounds paid by each of his below listed sons. I believe these are the records that the will "...what he has received from me heretofore..."

1. Henry Marrs land on both sides of the Clinch River containing108a. part of a tract of 190 acres granted to Samuel by letter of patent bearing date the ninth day of May 1787. Wythe Co., VA DB 1 pages 62-63

2. Christopher Marrs land on both side of Clinch &127River containing 82a, part of a tract of 190 acres granted to Samuel by letter of patent bearing date the ninth day of May 1787.&127 Wythe Co., VA DB 1 pages 63-64

Taken from portion of a letter written by John Marrs of Lexington, KY in1869 a grandson of Samuel, born 1740."I have heard my mother say he was a small active old man and that she had seen Samuel and his 2 brothers&127 (Henry & Barnabas) ride to Lexington horseback, it being 15 miles they were all 3 over 70 years of age at the time." From "Marrs & Allied Families" by 4 sisters

Checked census of 1820,30,40,50 for Tazewell Co VA for this man, do not find him living in Tazewell County, VA. Later received evidence that he had moved to Ky in 1793

Found a record of Christopher Bradshaw who died intestate 3/26/1756 in Chanceford Twp., York County, PA It lists his minor sons John b. ca 1744 and Clement b. ca 1746. Francina is the right age to fit with these two in age. At age fourteen she may have not been listed as a minor as she was married by ca1760. I at present can not prove this relationship.

We do know that Marr's relative's said she had brothers, John, James and Christopher. There is a town Bradshaw just over the line into WV from Tazewell County, VA.

Samuel and Francina have a son named Christopher. So I feel there is a good possibility there is a link.
