her
parents
of Lawrenceville, Brunswick Co, VA
This is my working hypothesis - the way I see it as of this moment!!
John Jones was born 30 March 1764
and married 2 June
1787 Lucy Binns Cargill 29 Jan 1769 - 1812/23
daughter of John Cargill of Sussex County, VA [son of
Rev. John Cargill of Surry.]
In 1825 the widow, Esther Cotten Moore, married
as her second husband, the widower, Capt John Jones
of Lawrenceville, Brunswick County, VA
who they tell us was known locally as
"Hell-Cat" Jones. [His father a lay minister was called
"Hell-fire" Jones.] They
lived in a huge brick house with a slate roof (seven windows across the front) on a bend
of the Meherrin River. Esther died 6 September, 1854 at her home at
Lawrenceville, VA.

"On one of my visits home my nephew James had me drive him and his
sister Debbie to Lawrenceville VA to try to locate the house that the Major
John Wheeler Moore, the historian and poet, had described as the most
beautiful house he had ever seen located on a bend of the Meherrin River,
the home of his grandmother which he had visited often as a child.
It was a Saturday, and we stopped the postman and asked if he knew
about Capt John Jones and his handsome home. No, he didn't but he thought we
should go talk to Mr. Jones, who was an authority on the local history. He
was quite elderly at the time. He was no relation to Capt. John Jones but he
knew just who we were talking about. "Oh, you are looking for old
Hell-Cat Jones," he said. We spent a couple of hours talking. He told
us there was a memorial to Hell-Cat on the outside of the Court House and
that we really should have come during the week when the court house was
open. He also told us that at that time the house still belonged to
descendants and that they had used the place as a summer house up 'til the
fifties. That they had removed the beautiful woodwork and installed it in a
new home. I didn't record all this, but my nephew at 15 was a much more
meticulous researcher. Mr. Jones also pointed out the way to Hell-Cat's
house but wouldn't go with us-- so we having gone that far, ignored all the
no trespassing signs (after all, we were family) And took a look at the
place. The immense size of the house was quite impressive. The roof was
slate. All the dependencies were in a state of collapse and the dining room
wing which was of wood was deteriorating. It might have had a view of the
"beautiful" Meherrin river a hundred years before, but was quite
grown up with trees and I could not discern the river from the house. We
made our way around the place taking it all in. Snapped the pictures of the
house and left, all of us quite pleased and satisfied with having actually
located the house we only knew from those couple of lines in a book.
Were the rest of the family surprised! We had the pictures as evidence that
we had been there. It was a great adventure."

John Cargill Jones practiced law both in VA and AL., served in the Alabama
Legislature, and later became a Baptist Minister. He was the minister of Camden
Baptist Church when he died.
It is said that his wife was an Episcopalian, so much so she took her
children to be baptized in that church while her husband was preaching mightily
in the Baptist Church.

parents
& 1758 Elizabeth Binns 1740 - 1803

of Surry Co and Lawrenceville, Brunswick Co, VA
This is my working hypothesis - the way I see it as of this moment!!
"Colonel
John Jones, born 14 Feb 1735, died 11 Jan 1803 and married 22 July 1758 [Sussex
Co] Elizabeth Binns, daughter of Judith [Eldridge] and Charles Binns, born
11 May 1740 died 28 Jan 1803. [see Binns VHG 281]
Colonel Jones moved to Brunswick County about 1757. . . He was a
Justice 1760-65, Sheriff 1773 -75, County Clerk 1789 - 93, Vestryman and Church
warden 1755-59, County Treasurer 1771, member of the House of Burgesses 1772-3,
Member Va Senate 1776 - 89, Speaker of the Senate 1788-89, member of the VA
Convention of 1788, Colonel and County Lieutenant in the militia, the last from
1778 to 1789."
This author in Boddie then speculates that he probably saw
active service in the campaign of 1781 and earned the nick-name "Hellcat
Jones." But, the local historian told us in 1969 that this name came
about because this man was also a lay minister and the locals called HIM
"Hellfire Jones" because of the nature of his sermons and John Jr
being a regular little "Hellcat" was given that moniker
On 21 May 1935 the Colonel Banister Chapter of the DAR unveiled a
bronze tablet to his memory. I recall that is mounted outside near the
front door of the wall of the Court House. -- our guide showed this to us
when we visited in 1969.
"In 1772 member of the VA legislature from Brunswick Co.
In 1777-1780 member of the VA Senate representing
Brunswick, Lunenburg, and Mecklenburg Counties.
In 1787 he was elected Speaker of the VA Senate.
He was in charge of the Militia of Brunswick &
Adjoining Counties in defending the Fords of the Stanton Rivers in the
Revolutionary War
and in 1781 fought Tarleton. Tarleton gave him his nickname
"Hellcat" because if the vigorous defense against him."

e-mail 12/22/03 from Elizabeth Guy:
I emailed you the other day about Elizabeth Binns 1740-1803 who married John
Jones. Well, her brother was Charles Binns Jr. and was the clerk of the court in
Loudon Co, VA. [His son Charles Binns III succeeded his father as clerk.] They
held this position for 82 years and much of the county business was held at
Charles Jr's house "Rokeby". Well, when the British were burning
Washington during the War of 1812, it is said that important papers like The
Constitution and the Declaration of Independence were hid there! Charles Binns
Jr was already dead by that time (d. 1800) but I would image that
the house was still in the family. I found this info on the internet under
"Rokeby".

| his parents
& ca 1709 Sarah Hamlin [Lowe] ca 1687 - 1726
| her parents
of Scotland and Virginia
This is my working hypothesis - the way I see it as of this moment!!
John Cargill was a
student of theology at the University of Glasgow, Scotland.
He found life as a missionary among
the Indians in America a more desirable prospect than continued religious
dissention in his homeland.
He went in 1708 to the Leeward Island and then to Virginia.
The following is
his answer to the Bishop of London in 1724: "I have been here sixteen
years. My parish is twenty miles in width and one hundred inhabited in length,
being a frontier-parish. It has three hundred ninety four families.
The school of Mr. Griffin, called Christina, for Indians, is on the
border of my parish.
There is one church and two chapels, and seventy or eighty
communicants.
My tobacco now sells at five shillings per hundred; my salary from 30 to
40 pounds.
My glebe-house is in a bad condition and the parish will not repair it so
I must look for a house elsewhere. No school, no library, in the parish."
According to Patty B. Myers "Cargill/Cargile/Cargal of the South and Southwest", the Rev. John Cargill (b. ca 1681, son of David Cargill and Janet Smith) married Sarah (Hamlin) Lowe, daughter of Capt. John Hamlin and Elizabeth Taylor and widow of Micajah Lowe. Elizabeth (Taylor) Hamlin’s will was dated in Prince George Co. 23 May 1720 and probated 13 Sep 1720.
John Cargill married in VA Sarah Hamlin daughter of John Hamlin ca 1640-bef 1720 and wife Elizabeth Taylor ca 1660-1720 of Prince George Co, granddaughter of Stephen Hamlin d bef 23 Aug 1665 and wife Agnes d aft 1666 and also Richard Taylor and wife Sarah Barker.

Some people try to place a Cornelius Cargill as a son of the Rev. John Cargill, but they seems rather to be contemporaries - arriving in Virginia about the same time and marrying about the same time.
