From Chester (and its Vicinity) Delaware Co., in Pennsylvania with Genealogical Sketches of Some Old Families, by John Hill Martin, 1877, pages 499-501 of the reprint, published by John A. Bullock III, Graphic Details Publications, Reidsville, NC, 1999, is the following: NOTE: This material was provided by Jacob Hewes, son of John Hewes and Mary Barnard and grandson of William Hewes and Mary Withers.

William Hewes my great grandfather, tradition says, came from Wales. [NOTE: Jacob's great-grandfather was grandson of the William who came from England.] .. . . . He first took up land in New Jersey, near Salem, but abandoned it and took up a part of 1000 acres in Lower Chichester, and built a brick house on his purchase. On the sill of the front door the letters W. H. are cut. In this house my father, Jacob Hewes, and myself, were born. My father's first wife was Rachel, daughter of Thomas and Hannah Perkins. They had but one child, Mary. His second wife, Esther, was the daughter of Isaac and Jane Pyle. They had issue, John, Jane, Isaac and Jacob. My father was married at Chichester meeting house. My great grandfather, William Hewes, was, so says tradition, one of the founders of that meeting, and lays in the graveyard there, and my grandfather, John, and my own father Jacob as well. My father was born 2 mo. 7, 1752, died 4 mo. 29, 1795. My mother died 9 mo. 9, 1839, aged 76 yrs. 3 months and 24 days. Father's first wife, Rachel, died 3 mo. 31, 1781. Jacob Hewes, of Leiperville, was born April 5, 1795, and married Eliza McIlvain, daughter of Jeremiah and Elizabeth (Spencer) of Ridley. . . . Mrs. Eliza Hewes died 7 mo. 19, 1874, aged 80 years.

William Hewes, a son (I presume [author speaking here]) of this couple, was married 9 mo. 12, 1713, at Chichester Meeting, to Mary, the daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth Withers, and granddaughter of Jeremiah Collett, of Chichester, who was, I believe, the same who married Jane, eldest daughter of Joan May, of Devizes in Wilts, 'a first purchaser.' He is styled a mason in some old writings, but probably followed farming to some extent. His wife survived him and died about 1750. Their children were William, John, Samuel, Isaac, Caleb, Sarah, Lydia, Rebecca and Hannah. William married (1st) Lydia Dutton and (2nd) Rebecca Gregory, and died in 1753, leaving but one child, Aaron, to survive him. John married Mary, the daughter of Thomas Barnard, and granddaughter of Richard and Frances Barnard of Aston. He died in 1759, leaving two children, Christian and Jacob. His widow soon afterward married Archibald Dick, and her daughter married about 1764, Elisha Dick, who was probably a brother to Archibald. John Hewes, of Chichester, Tanner, in his will, dated Feb. 2, 1759, proven Mar. 2, 1759, gave to his wife Mary the Homestead for life, and afterwards to his children Christianna and Jacob. Also to his wife 200 acres in Douglass Township, Berks Co., purchased of Thomas Barnard, until the children became of age or married Some other land in Chichester and Berkes Co. to be sold by executors [who were] his wife and Richard Dutton, of Aston. In case the children did not live to inherit, the property to go to Aaron Hewes, son of brother William, and to such sons of brother Samuel Hewes as should be living at the time. Jacob Hewes was the father of the present Jacob Hewes, of Ridley. Samuel Hewes, above, married and settled in Jersey. Isaac married Lydia Weldon, and left a daughter. Sarah married Robert ?)Moulder and left a daughter Sarah, who married Nathaniel Falconer. Lydia married Wm. Grubb; Rebecca, Samuel Grubb; and Hannah, William Vaughan.

Peden Jr., and John Pitts Launey, Family Lines Publications, Westminster, MD: "William Hewes, [3rd], son of William and Sarah (Beazer) Hughes, Jr. of Chichester, and Mary Withers, dau. of Thomas Withers, m. 12th of 9th mo, 1713 at Chichester Meeting House.

COMMENT #5: These are not the children of William Hewes and Mary Withers, they are the children of William Hughes of Hampshire Co., Va., who made his will 30 Dec 1762 and named the following children: Son Hugh Hughes, son Thomas Hughes, son William Hughes, son Evan Hughes, daughter Mary Anderson, daughter Sudrah Carpenter, daughter Sarah Baker, son Ellis Hughes. (Hacker's Creek Journal, 2:194; Clara McCormack Sage and Laura Sage Jones, Early Records, Hampshire Co., Va., Now West Va., p. 120). No wife was mentioned in his will. His wife may have been named Sudna, as this name shows up in many of his descendants. His daughter Sudna was not called Sidney. His son Ellis was not called John or John Ellis. The following is from Hacker's Creek Journal, Vol. 2, page 192 -- "Paul Hardman of Charleston WV believes that the progenitor of the central WV line was William Hughes, a son of Jesse Hughes of Powhatan VA and a possible grandson of Hugh and Ann Hughes who were enrolled on the census at Martin's Hundred, VA 4 Feb 1624. This couple had arrived in America on the "Guifte" some years earlier. William L. Hughes of Jane Lew, WV, family researcher, wrote in 1926 "Quoting from local historians. . . and data of other authors, show conclusively that the Hughes family . . . are of Welsh extraction. . . Jonathan Hughes, my great-grandfather, was descended from the Jesse Hughes family who came across the waters with other emigrants in 1675 and obtained a land grant from King Charles II, for a tract of land on the tributary of the James River, which was named Hughes Creek, in Powhatan, Virginia. . ." The following is from Hacker's Creek Journal, Vol. 2, p. 194: "William Hughes got caught up with the expanding settlements of the middle eighteenth century in the Virginia Colony. The Royal Government replaced the large land companies and promised better titles to the land-hungry colonists. Soon the land was inhabited to the Falls of the James River, but the territory westward to the mountains belonged to the Indians. On October 7, 1763 King George III proclaimed that no grant warrants, surveys, nor patents could be made to the westward-moving, home-seeking colonists, until treaties with the Indians could be made. That did not stop them. On they went. The Indians were furious and fierce and sometimes massacred whole communities. This may have been borne had the land titles been good. In 1748 Lord Fairfax began to sell land out of his great Northern Neck grant from the King -- with titles. William Hughes with his family, and some of his children with their families, together with some of the Frys, Bakers, Carpenters, Tanners, and Radcliffs bought into this Fairfax land and hit the trail NORTHWARD [caps by P.Myers] from the region of the Roanoke and James Rivers. We find them mentioned in what is now Bath, Augusta, and Frederick Counties of Virginia." The following is from Hacker's Creek Journal, Vol. 2, page 193. "Another Hughes researcher refutes the hypothesis that William Hughes was the son of Jesse of Virginia. Her data begins the ancestry of this family with the incredible story of John Hughes and wife, Jane Evans, who resided in Mireonshire, Wales, where their son, Hugh, was born in 1671. In 1680, when Hugh was but nine, he left home. His parents surmising he went to America, later came to Pennsylvania and found him. . . . This runaway child married Martha, only child of Hugh and Martha Jones. They had. . . . William who joined the early Virginia settlers and we pick him up in Augusta Co., near Covington, later Bath County, and later Frederick Co., where he gave outstanding service to the colony. . . ." "Absolute proof of the ancestry of William Hughes may never be found. It is agreed that he was the third generation in America."⁷ He was a witness to Patty Myers email 8 Jan 2002 with William Hewes Sr.²

      ; Tipton-Haynes Historic Site-Located in Washington County, Tennessee.²

; Tipton-Haynes is the site of the Battle of the Lost State of Franklin which was fought in 1788 between Colonel John Tipton and John Sevier.²

; The home stands at the base of Buffalo Mountain and near Buffalo Creek, both of which took their names from a great buffalo trail which rounded the mountain, built in 1783.²

; Colonel John Tipton was married 1750-51 to Mary Butler, daughter of Thomas Butler, who was killed by the Indians on his farm on Cedar Creek Shenandoah County, Virginia at the beginning of the Revolutionary War. She bore him nine sons, to wit: Samuel, Benjamin, Abraham, William, Isaac, Jacob, John, Thomas, and Jonathan. Mary (Butler) Tipton died in Shenandoah County, Virginia, June 8, 1776. July 22, 1777, Colonel John Tipton was married to Martha (Denton) Moore, widow of Dr. James Moore, Shenandoah County. By her he had one son, whom he called Abraham, for his son Captain Abraham Tipton who was killed in Clark's Expedition against the Indians in 1782. Martha, is buried on his farm in Sinking Creek, on the hill above the historic old house that still stands today practically unchaged since its erection befroe 1800. Hereafter the death of old Col. John Tipton, his son, John Tipton of Sullivan County, lived until his death in 1831, after which the home was sold to David Haynes and later became the home of 'Tennessee's silver-tongued orator,' Landon C. Haynes.²

; In 1796, the territory was found to contain more than the number of inhabitants requisite to authorize the formation of a state government. As heretofore, Washington County deemed, John Tipton one of her ablest men worthy of her trust and honour, and he was, accordingly one of the five persons chosen to represent Washington County in the convention to meet at Knoxville for the purpose of forming a constitution of permanent form of government. On motion of that body to proceed to appoint two members from each county to draft a constitution and that each county name the members, John Tipton, with James Stuart, was chosen from Washington County, their two members of this committee which was to draft the first constitution of the State of Tennessee.²

; Of this constitution of the State of Tennessee formed by convention of 1796, Thomas Jefferson said, 'the least imperfect and most rebublican of the systems of government adopted by any of the American states.²'

; To the First Legislature of the State of Tennessee Colonel John Tipton was elected Senator from Washington County; again to the second assembly which closed 1799 he was her representative in the Senate, this being his last public service. At the age of sixty-seven, having served twenty-seven years in Legislatures and Conventions in the States of Virginia and North Carolina, in the Territory South of the River Ohio and in the State of Tennessee, he retired from public life to his home on Sinking Creek several miles Southeast of the present town of Johnson City, where he first settled in 1783.²

; There are sixteen counties, towns, and railway stations in the United States named for the Tipton family. Four are in Tennessee, a Tipton, Tiptonville, Tipton Station and Tipton County. The name has been preserved in more lasting form than shafts of marble.²

; Of Colonel John Tipton's sons; six were in the Revolutionary War-Samuel, Benjamin, Captain Abraham, William, Isaac, and Captain Jacob, while three of them-Samuel, John of Sullivan County and Jonathan-maintained almost unbrokenly to 1830 the prestige of the famliy in the Legislature of the State of Tennessee.² GKJ-5.

; A monument was dedicated on October 12, 1946 in Col. John's memory near Johnson City, Tennessee opposite the old Tipton home on the Ashville National Highway.²

; Although a very busy man in civil and political life, he had time to indulge in blooded horse stock. He was a great lover of find horses and brought with him from Virginia imported thorough-breds that were raced by Tipton's slaves against the best of the land even so far south as South Carolina did General Wade Hampton bring his horses and negroes to challenge their merits. He was the owner of the renowned stallion, Diamede. The proof that the stallion, Diamede passed from ownership of Col. John Tipton to his son Abraham was in the Washington County, Tennesse Inventories & Settlements of Estates and loose-records in Clerk's office, Jonesboro, Tennessee. Estate of Abraham Tipton, December, by James I. Tipton, Adm. October term, 1822 listed in sale a long list of 'Mares put to Diamede, in 1819'. Also, Don Quixote whose pedigree is advertised in the 'Knoxville Gazette' of February 24, 1808; and according to the autobiography of Dr. A. Jobe, he was the owner of 'Tipton's Irish Grey' the greatest quarter horse known at that time.²

; Daniel Boone followed the buffalo trail on his earliest trips into Tennessee County and had a hunting lodge at a cold spring on the Tipton premises. Nearly one hundred years before Boone, in 1673, James Needham and Gabriel Arthur were the first of the English speaking race to view the Tennesse Valley, and passed here on their way to the Cherokee towns on the Little Tennessee River. These facts which are set forth in Judge Williams book 'Dawn of Tennessee History' demonstrates that this is truly one of the most historic spots in the State of Tennessee.²

; Today, the occupants of the old house will show you the room where Colonel Tipton died, the spot where a famous battle took place; and in walking there voices from the past seem to say, 'Cherish your State and Nation, your freedom was bought with a price.²'

; In 1790 the cession of the Western districts of North Carolina was acknowledged by Federal government and created in the Territory South of the River Ohio. When in 1793 the assembly and Legislative Council, John Tipton was one of the two elected from Washington County, to this First Territorial Assembly. He continued a member of its sessions through 1794 and 1795, being one of the corporators of the Washington College established in 1795.²

; In the fall of 1783, Colonel John Tipton removed to Washington County, North Carolina, now Tennessee, and settled on Sinking Creek, nine miles east of Jonesboro, where he lived until his death in (August) 1813. The following year we find him elected to the conventions of the Western County, a confessed opponent in the separation of this district from parent state North Carolina. Kirke, and even Ramsey would make it appear that Colonel Tipton was at first enthusiastically in favor and active in the establishment of the State of Franklin; Hayes the earliest historian, who knew these pioneers, shows Colonel John Tipton was not for this cause. At the convention of 1784, his position was clearly stated; Ramsey states 'on motion of Mr. Cocke, whether for or against ourselves in a separate and distinct state, independent of the territory of North Carolina, at this time, with thirteen others recorded on the negative side. 'No historian has yet given this noble man his true record. He was far-sighted and knew that it would come when this part of North Carolina, then known as Washington County, would someday peaceably and without violating the laws of the land, be made into a separate state, and he lived to see that time come and was an important factor in the formation of the laws of the State. He, in course, during the troubles of the State of Franklin, represented a principle that caused the greatest civil war ever known. He held to the Alexander Hamilton idea of a strong central government, and it was in this section of East Tennessee in the days of secession where the union sentiment was the strongest. Accordingly it is not surprising that while some of the Tipton's descendants fought in the Confederate service, the preponderance were in favor of the Union.²

; Under North Carolina's authority, Colonel Tipton was a Justice of the Courts of Washington County, and in 1786 was first chosen Senator from that county to the Legislature of that state and continued to be re-elected to that Senate until 1790 when the cession of the Western Territory of North Carolina was accepted by the Federal government and created into the 'Territory South of the River Ohio.' Early in 1787 John Tipton had been appointed Colonel of the Militia of Washington County, by commission from North Carolina, and in February 1787, was qualified on this capacity. In 1788, Colonel John and his brother, Joseph Tipton, were elected to the convention held at Hillsboro, North Carolina, July 1788, to vote upon the adoption of the Federal Constitution by that state. Their vote--as that of the majority was cast against its adoption until certain amendments should be made.²

; Many articles have been written on Colonel John Tipton. He is most noted for being a founding father of Tennessee. He helped to draft the constitution, when Tennessee became a state in 1796, and was a senator in the first and second state legislatures. He was described as a strong, self-reliant, ambitious, hot-headed, unrelenting dispenser of Justice. To Col. John Tipton, Tennessee owes much.²

; Of honored lineage, his ancestors having settled in that province before 1700. Records have 1668 as time of arrival in America.²

; Ramsey by implication, Kirke by willful misrepresentation would make it appear all active opposition and violence in the last two years of the existence of the State of Franklin was by Tipton, and the adherents of the North Carolina Government, yet the very letters of Colonel Hutchings to Gov. Caswell of date April 1, 1787, and that of General Evan Shelby to the Governor of North Carolina of date May 4, 1787, inserted by Ramsey in his annals of Tennessee (pages 360-364) disprove this condition most emphatically.²

; Sevier thought that he had all passes to the Tipton home guarded from reinforcements but Tipton had already sent for them. Sevier ordered his men to charge and a battle was fought and two or three men were killed or wounded. Just as Sevier started to charge, snow fell so thick and fast that you could hardly tell one person from another and soon Major Pemberton and General Rutledge came with sufficient forces to defeat Sevier and to take eighteen prisoners, among them were three of Seviers's sons.²

; Some Historians have intimated that Col. Tipton offered to do harm to Sevier's sons, but there is no proof to this statement. They cannot support it with facts. Sons and grandsons alike deny most emphatically that the lives of Sevier's sons captured in the skirmish that followed were threatened by Tipton. Colonel J.C. Tipton in the East Tennessee Edition of Illustrated History of Tennessee 1888, sites that a man named Webb, brother of one of the men killed at that time by Sevier's party, swore vengeance upon Sevier's sons, but was severly reprimanded by Tipton and advised that the man who inflicted injury upon them would have to answer to him for such infamy--a letter from Colonel John's son, Jonathan to Lyman Draper also disproves this harsh judgement of Colonel John--in which he says: 'Seviers's sons were treated well and let go in peace.' It is a known fact in the Tipton Family that Colonel Tipton out of the generosity of his heart, gave a negro slave to the needy widow of one of the men killed.²

; In 1788, strained relations between Governor John Sevier and Colonel John Tipton had reached a point that when they finally met on the street they decided to settle their differences in the old fashioned way; It is said that Colonel Tipton was a powerful man and was soon the victor over his old enemy.²

; Afterward, Governor Sevier started to the home of Col. Tipton with some of the state troops under his control; he reached the neighborhood of Col. Tipton's house early in the morning and ordered Tipton to surrender. Tipton had about forty-five of his friends and neighbors congregated in his house to help him. When Sevier sent word for him to surrender, he sent an answer 'Hell No!', in less than two hours you will be surrendering to me!'. He had sent for reinforcements.²
