Indiana had a very large diphtheria epidemic that killed a large number of people in 1896. Curious if this was the cause.

Also found him listed with his brother Samual Lashbrook, (both privates) serving under Lt. Col. John Davis. A family handed down story follows: "Lt. Col. John Davis's ill equipped group went down the Ohio to the Mississippi River in leaky boats, but managed to join up with General Jackson in New Orleans. Thomas became ill in New Orleans and his brother Samuel bought a horse, putting Thomas on it and walked all the way back to Kentucky. On the last night out, Thomas was so ill that he could not remain on the horse. Samuel left Thomas with the horse and ran the last remaining miles to get help. While Samuel was explaining, Thomas came riding in. Thomas had tied himself to the saddle." In 1822 Thomas and his brother Samuel moved to Daviess County, Kentucky. Per Shelby County, Kentucky tax records, Thomas served as security administrator for brother James Lashbrook of Daviss County, Kentucky. In 1825 Thomas signed as surety in the administrations of the estate of his brother, George Lashbrook from Daviss County, Kentucky. In 1823 Thomas served as security administrator for brother, James Lashbrook of Daviess County, Kentucky. He was also taxed for land owned in Shelby County, Kentucky. In 1827 - Thomas and his family moved to Scott County, Indiana shortly after selling his land in Spencer County, Kentucky. Thomas married Elizabeth Elliott on 3-4-1803 in Shelby County, Kentucky. Clarissa Lashbrook-Wylie (daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth Lashbrook) claimed her mother was closely related to General George Washington in an article published in Wylie Genealogy by E. G. Wylie, St. Louis, MO, in 1900. I have not been able to find a copy as of yet. Their other daughter, Louisa Lashbrook-Gailbreath, claimed kinship with General Lee of the Civil War Lee's. This statement was published in the History of Coles County, Illinois - 1883. I have not found a copy of either article, yet. Thomas died before his estate was administered on 08-13-1839 in Scott County, Indiana. His brother, John Lashbrook paid the following heirs of Thomas Lashbrook, deceased per probate book, "A" page 87a for Scott, County, Indiana: Harrison Mitchell and his wife, Mildred Ann of Scott County, Indiana William Gailbreath and his wife, Louisa of Coles County, Illinois George Lashbrook and his wife, Nancy of Coles County, Illinois Note: The last settlement was made in May of 1851. Elizabeth lived with her eldest son, John in Scott County, Indiana after the death of her second husband John McDonald. She died between 1860 and 1870 Census. Parents: William LASHBROOK and Epha Effy ETHELRIDGE. Volney LASHBROOK was born on 18 April 1870 in ,Orange, Indiana. Parents: Hiram Alexander LASHBROOK and Margaret Ann HOBSON. Spouse: Nancy Ellen LASHBROOK. Nancy Ellen LASHBROOK and Volney LASHBROOK were married on 28 December 1893 in ,Orange, Indiana. Wesley LASHBROOK667,668,669,670,671 was born on 22 March 1824 in Orange County, Indiana. He died on 4 September 1894 at the age of 70 in Orange County, Indiana. He was buried in Moores Ridge Cemetery, Orange County, Indiana. Wesley was in Farmer. [NEED TO DEFINE SENTENCE:Members] Wesley's 3rd and last wife was Alfred M. Winingham's widow. Elizabeth's will is in Will Book #3, page 368-9.
William LASHBROOK2083,3260 was born in 1748 in Dumfries, Prince William, Virginia, USA.2083 He died on 6 August 1816 at the age of 68 in Bullitt, Kentucky, USA.2083 William Lashbrook son of William and Mary Lashbrook(e or s) was born about 1745 near Dumfries, Prince William County, Virginia. Mary K. Gritt has birth as 1748 and Aunt Myrna has it as about 1745 (5 & 8 could be a visual problem, since Myrna is very detailed and doesn't have eye problems I am staying with about 1745 birth date until proven differently. This William appears with the surname spelled various ways; Lashbrook, Lashbrooke and Lashbrooks. Since it is not clear which spelling he used most of the time I am entering him as Lashbrook since we descend from him. It has been thought this William's middle name is John, but it is not proven, a couple of handwritten documents have a middle initial but it could be "J" or "L", just not clear. William married Epha "Effy" Ethelridge in Prince William County,Virginia in 1768. Mary Kay Gritt-Lashbrook published a book on the Lashbrook's and indicated Effy's last name was Norris based on the fact some of the descendants were named Norris. Aunt Myrna had document showing Ethelridge, someone contacted her and thought the spelling changed to Etheridge without the "L". William and Effy were married 47years at the time of William's death. The first record of a deed for William was 12-04-1769 Prince William County, Virginia. "William Lashbrooke to William Carr and Thomas Chapman for sum of 24 pounds; receipt for, one Bay gelding, one feather-bed and furniture, 2 tables, 2 iron pots and grubing (sic) hoe, plows, pewter, and all other household furniture, one black chest and all tobacco. signed/witnesses: T.Blackburn, William Jones and John Powell." On 10-06-1781 William and Effy purchased 125 acres of land from Samuel Bland of Prince WilliamCounty, Virginia. Deed signed in court by William Lashbrooke and wife Effy without witnesses. The land was bounded by waterways and Philip Crume's and Samuel Perry's land. On 04-28-1785 they sold the same land for 100 pounds to Charles Love. In 1781 Shenandoah County, Virginia, William was recorded as paying 3 pounds of Hemp on a William Cunningham Commissary Certificate. This special tax was to support a local militia and qualifies descendants for membership in the Daughters or Sons of the American Revolution, see DAR#370024. (Hemp was used for making rope). The beginning of the Revolutionary War is traditionally said to be the Battles of Lexingtonand Concord in Massachusetts, on April 19, 1775. Likewise the end of the war is regarded as having occurred on October 19, 1781, when Cornwallis surrendered his entire army to Washington at Yorktown in Virginia. The treaty was not signed; however, until September 3, 1783, in Paris, France. Since one son, Samuel was born in North Carolina and another son, William married in Washington County, Tennessee there is record of the family in these areas. 1783 Shenandoah County, VA census listed William Lashbrooks as head of family with 9 whites, 0 blacks (Alexander Hite's List). 1785 Shenandoah County, VA list William Lashbrooks as head of family with 10 whites, 0 blacks, and 1 building (John Hutchinson's List). In 1799 William is shown in Shelby County, Kentucky and James is in Washington County, Tennessee. 1800 tax records have the family in Henry County, Kentucky with 130 acres of land on Floyd's Fork. William, Jr. is listed for the same place with no land; James owns 100 acres in Camp Creek, Henry County, Kentucky; Thomas is listed as under 21 years with no land. 1801 Henry County, Kentucky list John Lashbrooks with no land; Thomas (21 years) no land; one male under 21 no land; James Lashbrooks has 3 listings: 101 acres Jefferson County, Kentucky, 34 acres Floyd Fork, Jefferson County, KY, 100 acres Henry County, Kentucky. William Lashbrooks, Sr. has 130 acres Henry County, Camp Creek, Kentucky.1803 Tax list Henry County, Kentucky - son William owns 80 acres at Floyd's Fork, James owns 100 acres and Thomas owns 50 acres. 1810 Census show William Lashbrooks, Sr. in Bullitt County, Kentucky with sons,William, Jr. and James. Thomas appears in Shelby County, Kentucky. In a biographical sketch of John L. Stewart (grandson of William by his daughter Elizabeth) the following was written. "Elizabeth Lashbrook's father (William Lashbrook) was listed as a Kentucky Pioneer School Teacher. He received a classical education in the best schools, adopted the profession of teaching as his life's work and taught school invarious parts of the State for more than 40 years. Her father was also listed among the early settlers of Shelby County, Kentucky." This family has also been found mentioned in Bullitt County, Kentucky. It is believed the following transcript of a trial list two of William and Effy's sons as members of the jury: 18 Feb 1822 Bullitt County Circuit Court Order Book: This day Came the Prosecuting attorney and the Defendant Allen ROUSE not having been arrested on the motion of the said Attorney. It is ordered that the case as to him be abated and the defendant Cornelius BESS not appearing, it is commanded the sheriff that he cause to come a jury of twelve good and lawful men. Thereupon came a jury to wit: Abraham FROMAN, Samuel LASHBROOK, Nicholas GENTRY, Samuel WILSON, John LASHBROOK, Samuel BROWN, Jame BIRD, Frances BEAN, James ROBARDS, Henry HART, William NEWBOULT, Asa HAL, who being sworn well and truly to enquire of Damages in this Case returned the following verdict to wit: We of the Jury find the Defendant Cornelius BESS guilty and assess the Damages to the Court...ordered they recover against the defendant one cent. (Transcribed from 7-16-1999 posting on internet by Anne Livingston). Death: Bullitt County, Kentucky Probate Records, Bk A. pg 241:(quoted below) "In the name of God, Amen, I William Lashbrook of Bullitt County and state of Kentucky, being weak in body but of sound and perfect mind, blessed be Almighty god for the same, do make and publish this, my lastwill and testament in manner and form following, Viz: FIRST of all I desire all my just debts and funeral charges be paid and satisfied.

In witness, I hereby set my hand and seal this day of 23 July in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and fifteen, (signed William Lashbrooks). NOTE: Interesting how this will clearly shows the different spellings of this families surname. It appears four of William's children used the "s" on the surname and at times this William is found with the"s" on his name; however, per his father's documents it appears this William was born a Lashbrook and have no legal documents changing the name to add "s". Parents: William LASHBROOKE and Mary BRIDGES. Spouse: Epha Effy ETHELRIDGE. Epha Effy ETHELRIDGE and William LASHBROOK were married in 1768 in Prince William, Virginia, USA.929 Children were: James B LASHBROOK, John LASHBROOK, Elizabeth LASHBROOK, William J. LASHBROOK, Thomas LASHBROOK, Jane Jenny LASHBROOK, Samuel LASHBROOK, George LASHBROOK, Nancy LASHBROOK.

William H. LASHBROOK[xUpline] (private). Spouse: Ellen ALLEN. William Harrison LASHBROOK was born on 4 March 1859 in ,Orange, Indiana. He died on 3 February 1939 at the age of 79. Parents: Hiram LASHBROOK and Priscilla H KEARBY. Spouse: Serlinda GALLOWAY. Serlinda GALLOWAY and William Harrison LASHBROOK were married on 18 June 1882 in ,,Indiana. William J. LASHBROOK667,668,669,670,671,929 was born in 1773 in Dumfries,Prince William,Virginia. He died before April 1820 at the age of 47 in Jackson Township, Orange County, Indiana. He was buried in Family Farm, near French Lick, Indiana, USA. This William J. Lashbrook was born near Dumfries, Prince Wiliam County, Virginia. He was the son of William and Effy Lashbrook. William's father fought in the Revolutionary War. See father's section for more information. Sometimes it appears he went by the name of John and is suspected his middle name was John but this has not been confirmed. William married Dorothy Crecelius on 04-26-1794 in Washington County, Tennessee per printed marriage records from the Tennessee Archives. She was called Dolly by her family. Her parents were Otto Rudolph and Marie Elizabeth Diederie-Crecelius. Dolly's father served in the Revolutionary War with the Pennsylvania Volunteers. Both parents were native of Germany. Dolly's had two brothers living in Indiana, John G. Crecelius of Crawford County and Jacob A. Crecelius of Harrison County. William and Dolly with family left Tennessee moving north through Kentucky per 1800 tax list for Henry County Kentucky and 1810 tax records of Bullitt County, Kentucky. They disappear for tax records in 1811. Family stories handed down over the generations state that William moved with is son, John and John's wife (Esther "Hetty" Hopkins-Lashbrook) to Orange County, Indiana. Dolly died about 1813 and is buried on the banks of the Silver Creek which flows between what is now Clark and Floyd County on into the Ohio River in Clarksville, Indiana. The family was en route to Jeffersonville, Harrison County, Indiana. After Dolly's death the family remained in Jeffersonville for a while, (reference Lost River Chapter, page 21 and 148). Cause of death is unknown and place of burial is unknown, she would have been about 39 years old. A sandstone marker bearing only the date 1820 marks William's lone grave near the north boundary line of the old family farm. Margaret R. Waters listed this fieldstone as a marker for Revolutionary Soldiers of Indiana. William's father died in Bullitt County, Kentucky and his brother, called Uncle John Lashbrook died in Mason County, Kentucky (they were the Revolutionary Soldiers). The farm was in Orange County, Indiana not far from his brothers home near French Lick, Indiana. William died 1820 in Jackson Township, near French Lick just a few years after moving to Indiana. William's wife Dolly and father William J. Lashbrook preceded him in death. His mother Effy died between 1820 and 1824. The letters of administration of William's will was given on 04-04-1820 by James Rodin (husband of Elizabeth - daughter to this William). Probate records dated 04-21-1823 show a list of property sold at the dwell belonging to William. William's son, John and wife Hetty inherited the farm which remained in the Lashbrook family from 1818 until about 1968. The farm was always referred to as the "Lashbrook Home". In Old Washington, Kentucky there is another "Lashbrook House" built in 1810 that the state of Kentucky historical society now owns. Near and around Maysville, Kentucky their were two William Lashbrook's living in Maysville, KY, one spelled his name with and "e" on the end. We feel this is a distant relative to our William. William's home in Orange County, Indiana was built of all wood and more of a cottage style. It had been added to as the family grew over the years, not fancy brick like the one in Kentucky date 1810 built by William Murphy owned by William Lashbrook.
William J. LASHBROOK was born in 1773 in Prince William County, Virginia. He died before Apr 1820 in Jackson Township, Orange County, Indiana. He was buried in Family Farm, near French Lick, Indiana, USA. This William J. Lashbrook was born near Dumfries, Prince Wiliam County, Virginia. He was the son of William and Effy Lashbrook. William's father fought in the Revolutionary War. See father's section for more information. Sometimes it appears he went by the name of John and is suspected his middle name was John but this has not been confirmed.
Spouse: Dorothy Dolly CRECELIUS. Dorothy Dolly CRECELIUS and William J. LASHBROOK667,668,669,670,671 were married on 26 April 1794 in Washington County, Tennessee. Children were: John LASHBROOK, Elizabeth LASHBROOK. John J. LASHBROOKE929 was born on 30 January 1757 in Dumfries, Prince William, Virginia.929 He died on 11 February 1835 at the age of 78 in Mason, Kentucky, USA.929 He died on 14 November 1835 at the age of 78 in Mason, Kentucky, USA.929 John was also known as John Lashbrook.929 It is believed that this John's middle name was James, but is not proven. John's death was recorded in Lost River Chapter County Records, Indiana page 361 dated 1947. Mary Kay Gritt recorded it as 07-23-1832; both Myrna and Mary Kay reference to wills book Mason County, Kentucky, page 135, Bk K, 1835. I will have to research which is correct, leaving Myrna's until proven. John served in the Revolutionary War. His name appeared in the Journal of the House of Delegates of the Commonwealth of Virginia for October 1778 on page 115, printed 1827, Virginia State Library. Registered with the DAR (Daughter's of American Revolution) number 260446. This John was taxed in Mason County, Kentucky in 1793. Other documented facts in Prince William County, Virginia deed book "W" page 8 states: "The sell of a Negro girl named Sall (recorded - 07-10-1784, Seller John Posey Newmand to John Lashbrook of Fauquier County, Virginia. The price stated in the sell was 1221 pounds of tobacco and 12 pounds spice. Sall was about four years of age at the time of the purchase. John married Leannah Lee the daughter of Henry "Light Horse" Lee and his 3rd wife Anne Murphy-Dunn. Both are buried at the Old Lashbrooke Cemetery located on Stroade's Run Road, Mason County, Kentucky, (Not able to find Stroade's Run Road on 2002 maps today). Mary Kay and Aunt Myrna seem to differ on the death date. Myrna has November and Mary Kay has February. One would think this would be easy to trace since the Lee family is so famous, but I am having some trouble believing Leannah was the daughter of Light Horse Lee due to birthdates in history books. We have Leannah date in 1760 and I am finding the date of 1756 for Light Horse Lee, now I wonder if the stories handed down should have said brother and sister, more research is needed. Parents: William LASHBROOKE and Mary BRIDGES. William LASHBROOKE3261,3262,3263 was born on 17 October 1717 in Devon, England.3262 He died on 24 November 1760 at the age of 43 in Prince William, Virginia.3262 He was also known as William Lashbrook.3262 William Lashbrook was born between 1717 and 1720, most researched believe in Devonshire, England; however, this is not proven. Church records in Devonshire, England show many John, James and William Lashbrook(e). Most of the Lashbrook listing between 1500 and the mid 1700's have and (e) or (s) on the end (Lashbrooke, Lashbrooks). It is not known why or when these letters dropped from our descendants, but when known I do indicate the correct spelling. This William is recorded with the(e) and without the (e). Most records of his son William are without the (e). The name Lashbrook stems from a 'rare' local surname for one who held land at Lachebroc, a 'small spot' near Shiplake (in Oxfordshire, England) and recorded in the Doomsday Book as such. It comes from the Anglo Saxon 'laecc-broc' literally 'lake by the stream'. Family folklore handed down for generations; indicated our line came from the Netherlands via England. We have proven some of the ladies in our family did in fact come from Holland/Netherlands, Germany, England and Ireland, but have only been able to trace this William to England. Trials at the "Old Bailey" - I am going to quote copy from William'strial found at the Guildhall Library in London, England (Robert and Sandi Lashbrook obtained a copy of this document on a trip to England April2003): "The Proceedings at the Session of Peace, Oyer and Terminer, for the City of London and County of MIDDLESEX, on Friday the 13th, Saturday the 14th, and Monday the 16th of December, In the 11th Year of His Majesty's Reign (1737).

This was signed; Sir John Barnard, Knt. Lord-Mayor. God Save King George." The first record of William Lashbrook is found in Vol. II, page 162 of Bonded Passengers to America, (Peter Wilson Coldham, Genealogical Publishing Co, Inc, Baltimore, Maryland. It indicates William was transported in June of 1738 on the ship named: "Forward" landing near Dumfries, Prince William County, Virginia. The following information is about Capt. Jonathan Forward and has many documented records of his difficulties and dangers in his trade ofconvicts and tobacco. Capt. Forward was employed in the black slave and convict trade starting in 1718. Forward had delivered 107 New gate convicts to Robert Staples, captain of the Eagle, and concluded his business with him at a tavern in Gravesend, Kent on September 1718 when Staples paid L3 a head to freight his human cargo to Virginia and Maryland. This voyage guaranteed Forward's acceptance as the official transportation contractor. He paid gaol fees himself at a risk of being out of pocket until his convicts came to market. When he bought his ownship he named it the Forward, sometimes hiring other captains. The Forward, commanded by John Sargant, made a disastrous voyage to the Potomac in 1742: on her outward passage 58 of the convicts on board died and, on her return, the ship was taken prize by the Spanish privateer. Some of Forward's other ships were; Mary, Plain Dealer, and Bella. Life on the Prison ship was very tough to survive. The following is a copy alog from the Ship Forward, (Peter Wilson Press): Date: Captain Embarks Destination Remarks 1722 D. Russell 106 Maryland 7 died 1723 D. Russell 119 Virginia 1724 D.

Sargent 74 America In Samuel B. Lashbrook's accounting found in US Biographical Dictionary date 1878 Volume P729, mentions William Lashbrooke coming from England about 1738 to America. It indicated he was engaged in the mercantile business in Fauquier County, Virginia. Prior to 1759, Fauquier County was included as part of what is now Prince William County, Virginia. The date of William marriage to Mary is not known exactly - some have stated it was 1743 (not proven), but we have found information of their children born in Prince William County, Virginia: William 1745; Jane Jenny Lashbrooke-Florence-York born about 1746; John (possible middle name James) born 1757. Many believe Mary's last name is Bridges and that James Bridges was her brother. She could have been the Mary Clark that was deported for all we know. Not much is known about Mary, (also, see individual notes about Mary). It was very clear in the Trial Proceedings the William Lashbrook did not have the 'e' or 's' on his name. Did he use the 'e' after arriving in America? Sometimes and it appears his daughter used the 'e' on her name. The script handwriting was so fancy back then, could we all be misunderstanding the handwriting? So, we still have the question - sometimes the 'e', sometimes the 's'and sometimes just plain Lashbrook. We do known during the Civil War depending on North or South allegiance the spelling of Lashbrook changed, even between siblings, maybe the same occurred during the Revolutionary War times. Prince William County, VA Court Order Book - 1759 - 1761 page 118 recorded the last will and testament of William Lashbrook as presented in Court by Mary Lashbrook and James Bridges; the executors there in names and proved by Benjamin Rush, Jr. and Francis Manuel on June 24, 1760. Page 139 dated July 8, 1760 ordered Benjamin Rush, James Hamrick, George Carter and Rodman Grigsby to inventory and appraise the estate of William Lashbrooke. Page 221 dated November 24, 1760 recorded this appraisal: Deed Book, P, page 244 states: On September 7, 1762; give 5 shillings and love and affection to John (son) and Jane (daughter) Lashbrooke. Also, to John one Negro slave named Frank. To Jane 30 pounds of Virginia currency. Jane to have the use of Negro Frank until her death and then Frank is to go to John Lashbrooke. Witness: Thomas A. Hovell, Scarlett Madden, George Rowland.
