A Brief Biographical Sketch of John Edward Proctor and his extended family
John Edward Proctor was born February 10, 1752 in Stafford County, Virginia. What he did as a youngster and what his parents names were are unknown at this time. It has been suggested his mother remarried to a man whose name was Edward Riley and for some years they made their home in Fauquier County, Virginia.
In the year 1777 he went to the Fauquier County courthouse and enlisted in the militia. He served 3 to 5 years and was supposedly at The Battle of Brandywine, Battle of the Cowpens, and The Siege of Yorktown. He was discharged and came back to Fauquier County and in that same county on December 21, 1786, he married Elizabeth Hudnall, the daughter of Joseph Hudnall and Mary Ann Taylor. How often the family moved around during the next twenty years is unknown but it is rumoured that John had traveled to Mayesville, Mason County, Kentucky with his brother-in-law Benjamin Hudnall as Tennant Farmers. What I do know is that by 1810 they seem to have made a permanent home in Kanawha County (W.)Va. When the family first arrived in Kanawha they lived somewhere on Paint Creek, later John bought some land from William Morris on Kelly's Creek (which is located in Cedar Grove, WV) and in 1828 he received more of the same land from the Govenor by way of a land grant. Their neighbors included the Morris family and the Hansford Family. They attended the first church in the area, which was established in 1786 by the Elder James Johnson and was called Kanawha Baptist Church. John had lost his oldest son William around 1830, so he went to live with his son John, who in 1816 had relocated to Randolph County, Indiana. Around the time of his relocation to Indiana, the war department was looking for soldiers whose records were destroyed by fire in 1812. In 1833, Elizabeth was still living and where she died may always be a mystery. John stayed for a couple years in Indiana before setting of on the rest of his journey. From Indiana he traveled through Illinois, Arkansas, and to Bowie County, Texas with his son Nathan. In 1851 John Edward Jr. went west for a herd and to bring his aging father with him back to what was then and now called Elkhart County, Indiana. Upon his return to Indiana, he proceeded to try to claim his pension and was denied it for lack of proof. He died in Elkhart County, Indiana at the home of his son on January 11, 1856 and was buried in the Heaton Family Cemetery, now named the John Proctor Cemetery. John and Elizabeth's children were; William Proctor was born 1787 Fauquier County Va. He married Anna Martin September 14, 1806 in Kanawha County, (W)Va. And died c1830 in Kanawha County, (W)Va. What became of his children is unknown at this time but it is assumed they went to Indiana to live with their Uncle John.
John Proctor was born 1791 and died in Elkhart County, Indiana. He married Rebecca Spangler in Kanawha County, (W)Va in the year 1813. John and Rebecca left Kanawha County in 1816 to move to Indiana. Frances Proctor was born c1788 and married Joseph Hughes, both Frances and her husband Joseph were dead in 1850, it is not known where they died. Reuben Proctor was born 1799 and married Jane Hudnall, Jane was the daughter of Benjamin Hudnall and Nancy Riley. Reuben and Jane remained in Kanawha County. Tyler Proctor was born 1798 in Kanawha County and died c1853 in that same county. Tyler married Mary Hudnall, also a daughter of Benjamin Hudnall and Nancy Riley c1823. Tyler and Mary remained in Kanawha County. Mary died after 1870 and is found selling her Dowager rights from the land on Paint Creek to Aaron Stockton. Nathan Proctor was born 1796 and married Sarah /unknown/. Nathan and Sarah moved to Bowie County, Texas. There is a Mayberry Proctor born c1810, it is not known whether he belonged to John Proctor Senior or to his son William.
