General Braddock was also from near the Menzies clan castle at Weems, Perthshire, Scotland (Colonial Soldiers of the South 1732-1774, by Murtie June Clark: Genealogical Publishing Co., Baltimore, MD, 1983).

Andrew was the son of Andrew Minzies, Sr., and Christina McIntagirt of Perthshire, Scotland.

Yarbrough's Co., 3rd NC Regt., for 18 mos., from 1781 to Oct 1782. He later applied for and received a Revolutionary Pension (National Archives, Pension File W2148).

His first wife's name was Margaret Buttram (born 1761), and they married 23 Oct 1779 at Salisbury, Rowan Co. After the war, they continued living in Rowan Co. for several years. Margaret died 27 Dec 1787 in Rowan Co. They had the following children:

Joseph Mings' family record, births of children, from his Revolutionary Pension file


Joseph Mings and family joined a group of Rowan Co. neighbors (including the Taylors, Bartlesons, and Knörtzers) in moving to Kentucky abt 1796. They settled a few miles from Boonesboro and Harrodsburg. Mings and Bartlesons settled in what became Cumberland and thenWayne Co., and some others went a few miles further north to Madison Co. (its seat is Richmond), KY. Madison Co. was organized 1785 out of Lincoln Co. When Cumberland Co. (named for the Cumberland River) was organized in late 1798 out of Green Co., it became Kentucky's 32nd county. At the time it was a very large county encompassing what are now parts of several counties, including Wayne, organized out of Cumberland in 1800.

 

The Handybook for Genealogists, 10th Edition: Everton Publishers, Draper, UT, 2000, p. 260.

Our ancestor Benjamin F. Taylor and wife Mary Charlotte "Polly" Mings married 3 Jan 1819 in Wayne Co. where she lived with her parents. They lived for years in Madison Co. where his parents lived. There they had three children (Rebecca, James, and Christian Smith Taylor) born in Madison Co., 1819-1823, and moved from Madison to Grant Co. (organized 1819) in northern KY where their son (our forebear), Tarleton Jones Taylor was born 1 May 1828, followed by the youngest child, Mary Jane, 2 Jun 1838. So there were 19 years between the two daughters, Rebecca and Mary Jane.

Rebecca Taylor and her husband James Greenberry Howard lived in neighboring Owen Co. (organized 1819) when she wrote the preceding letter to her nephew F. S. Taylor in Texas (son of Tarleton Jones Taylor). When Tarleton Jones Taylor married in 1849, he and his wife Catharine Botkin agreed to live with her aged mother in Harrison Co., KY, and help manage for the place. After the deaths of both their parents, they moved to Texas in 1855. His sister Mary Jane Taylor and husband Doctor Frank Osborne visited Tarleton and Catharine in Texas.

Joseph Mings received a 150-acre land grant in Wayne Co., Oct. 1815 (The Kentucky Land Grants: a systematic index to all of the land grants recorded in the state Land office at Frankfort, Kentucky, 1782-1924, by Willard Rouse Jillson: The Standard Printing Co., Louisville, KY, 1925; Vol 1, Tellico Grants (1803-1853), p. 447).

The earliest Kentucky federal censuses are missing. In 1820, Joseph Mings was enumerated in Wayne Co. as one white male 45+, two free white females under 10, one free white females 45+ ; 3 persons engaged in manufacture; p. 534. Joseph Mings, Jr., was enumerated on a different page (dates not given), with one male child under 5, two males 26-45, one female 5-10, one female 26-45; two persons engaged in manufacture; p. 484.

In the 1840 federal census (I haven't found Joseph in 1830), a separate census was taken of Revolutionary Pensioners, which listed Joseph Mings in Saline Twp., Gallatin Co., IL, as age 85. On the regular 1840 census, he was enumerated in the home of his son Daniel Mings.

He had applied for a Revolutionary Pension March 1829 when living in Wayne Co., KY, filed a followup on 22 Mar 1830 to Interrogatories he was asked, and the Pension was approved in Aug 1830.

State of Kentucky }

First he states he does not know the name of the Colonel of the Regiment to which he belonged by reason that he was never with Said Regiment, but kept and retained at the laboratory in Salisbury North Carolina and at all times under the command of Captain Edward Yarborough and was by him discharged at said place, which discharge (now as he is informed in Washington City), he believes States the Regiment to which he belonged to be the 3rd Regiment. He states that the reason for his not making application for the pension at an earlier period is that he was Ignorant of the mode of applying, and the Lawyers to whom he made application to prepare his papers &tc asked him such an unreasonable price as discouraged him from making application.

He states that the following is a true account of the property owned by him on the 18th of March 1818 and the Changes which have taken place in Said property by Sale or otherwise, Since that time, viz. Fifty acres of third rate land, Sold to John Vestal Sometime in the year 1822 Around in Autumn, received in return for it two house beasts, & two Cows and three hundred Bushels of corn paid at Several different periods.
