Hannah wife of John BRADFIELD received on certificate from the Fairfax MM, Loudoun Co., VA dated November 25, 1795. It states that she was living in Campbell Co., VA for considerable time and condemned the conduct for which she stood disowned. Hannah was a daughter of George & Sarah (COX) BURSON of Loudoun Co., VA. Moreover, she is also more than likely not the mother of John's three children who came under the care of the Friends at Campbell Co., VA. There is a document purporting to be a transcript of the family bible for this family, copies of which are in circulation among descendants researching John BRADFIELD. The mother of Joseph, Benjamin and Thomas BRADFIELD is identified in the bible transcription as Mary (no surname). Moreover, a civil marriage took place between John BRADFIELD & Hannah READER on November 20, 1798 at Campbell Co., VA. John BRADFIELD was disowned for this act by the meeting for marriage contrary to discipline February 9, 1799

NORTH CAROLINA:
BUNCOMBE COUNTY
Formed 1791 from Burke and Rutherford
1810 - 30 Aug 1810, Shadrack Llewellyn of Buncombe Co. NC sells his share of this lot as heir of A. Llewellyn (registered 31 Jan 1811. Davidson Co. TN Deed Book, p. 80). In 1811, on 21 March, Isaac Llewellen of Nelson Co. KY, and, on 4 April, Meshack Lewallen of Wayne Co. Indiana Territory also sell. Llewellyn appears in the Nelson Co. KY tax lists for 1800, which substitute for the census, and in the 1810 census. NOTE; This line would be from Shadrach and Deborah Burson Llewellyn's line.
1810 - Shadrach Lew Allen is shown in the census with one white male under 10; one white male 26-thru 44; one white female under 10; one white female 10 through 15; one white female 16 thru 25; one white female 26 thru 44. Also on that census was John Lockhart, Andrew Lockhart, John Justice Sr and Jr, William Justice, John and Samuel Laughlin, George Marshall, Shelton, Smith, Hill
NOTE: This is probably the same Shadrach found in 1810 in Union County, South Carolina.
GUILFORD
Formed 1770 from Rowan and Orange
1785 - Rockingham County formed - see that county.
1787 - Shadrach Lewelling (no parents listed) was born July 7. (This Shadrach has been said to have been the son of William and Mary Lewelling (William died Randolph County, N.C. 1799)

RANDOLPH COUNTY:
(not all of this county info has been copied)
1779 - Mannering Brookshire and William Brookshire, brothers, both died this year. Both were probably born Fairfax County, VA; their father was James Brookshire from Sommerset, Maryland, and mother was Sarah Mannering. Mannering Brookshire married a Miss Swift and had children: (1) Mannering Brookshire II b ca 1754 and died Dec. 23, 1843 Randolph Co NC; (2) John Brookshire Sr. b ca 1759 and died Jan. 15, 1847 Greenville Dist., S.C, (3) Swift Brookshire b ca 1761 and d possibly Spartanburg Co./ SC; (4) Thomas Brookshire b ca 1762 and died Oct. 9, 1835 (see his Will below); and (5) Joseph Brookshire b ca 1864 and died possibly Sevier County, TN. The places of birth given for the children was either Randolph or Rowan Counties. (Note: The info was found on the internet and has not been substantiated by me, but there are no Brookshires listed in the 1785 petition below...bh)
1787 - Meshach Lewellin married Jane Brookshire Jan. 29. NOTE: It is unknown if this information is correct because Meshach is given as having married a Margaret Williams on this date also. There is a Jane (Brookshire) Luallen mentioned in her father's 1835 Will, but if she married Meshach Lewelling, son of William Lewelling who died 1799, then that Meshach wasn't of age in 1799 so this wouldn't be the same individual. And, too, no Meshach is mentioned until 1801 other than in William's Will.

(A review of both of the above Wills reveals that Johnathan signed the will but did not write it; it was written by another individual. Jane neither wrote nor signed hers but instead put an x for her signature, which apparently from other Wills that I’ve reviewed dating back to those years, was an accepted practice. No doubt many individuals of those years could not write but instead had others to do it for them.)

The following is taken from the Randolph County, Indiana book 1818-1990 compiled by the Randolph County Historical Society
"LEWELLYN, Meshach Lewellyn (I) was b. probably in Loudoun Co., VA sometime between 1760 and 1765. He was the son of Shadrach and Deborah (Burson) Lewellyn. He m. Hanna (Brooks?) ca 1790 probably in Washington Co. OH During his moves west he lived in Washington Co. PA, Hardin Co. KY and Preble Co. OH before coming to Randolph Co. in 1816.
"Tucker's 1882 History of Randolph County says that he built a mill, in what is now Ridgeville, about 1819. His neighbors considered him an old man. He would have been between 54 and 59 at that time--old to be claiming a new home from raw wilderness but he couldn't qualify for a senior discount today. He did have a large family. We have records of nine children and believe there were more. Seven of these children were b. before he arrived in Randolph Co. and two of them were already m. Birth places and birth dates of the children are Nancy (1791) and Shadrach (1794) in Pennsylvania; Deborah (1796), Benjamin (1796) and Isaac (1802) in Kentucky; Rachel (1805) and Mary "Polly" (1808 in Ohio and Elizabeth (1825 in Randolph Co. IN.
"Until after he arrived in Ohio and possibly after he came to Randolph Co., Meshach was a Quaker. He seems to have switched to the Methodist Episcopal Church late in life. His wife, Hanna, remained a Quaker.
"Meshach d. about 1832. His wife d. in 1842, her will was filed Nov. 16, 1842. She was somewhere between 67 and 72 at the time of her death.
"As you would expect from their large family, Meshach and Hanna have many descendents. Marriages that we have records of are listed below.
"Nancy m. James Addington on June 11, 1809 in Preble Co. OH. Their history is given separately.
"Shadrach m. Elizabeth Miller on Oct. 6, 1817 in Wayne Co. IN
"Dborah m. Stephen Jones on Oct. 28, 1813 in Wayne Co. IN
"Deborah m. Stephen Jones on Oct. 28, 1813 in Wayne Co. IN
"Benjamin m. (1) Nancy Jane Sutton and (2) Patience Blanden. Their son, Abednego moved to Anderson Co. KS in 1857 during the height of the border warfare between free state and slave state supporters. We have no record that he participated in the fighting, but his cousin, a member of the same immigrant party, was a captain of a company of free state militia.
"Isaac m. Sarah Miller on May 13, 1824, in Randolph Co. IN
"Rachel m. Abraham Renberger on Nov. 28, 1824, in Randolph Co. IN
"Mary m. David Hammer on Jan. 12, 1826 in Randolph Co. IN. they moved to Lee Co. IA. It is Mary and David's wedding that is described on page 408 of Tucker's 1882 History of Randolph Co. After David's death in Lee Co., she married Henry Pritchard.
"Elizabeth m. Isaac Renburger.
"There are at least 52 ways to spell Lewellyn. Clerks used five of them in one document. Three of the variations used by Meshack during his life are Lewellyn, Lewallen and Lawellen."
There is more information in the book on James Addington, son of John and Elizabeth (Heaton) Addington who married Nancy Lewellyn, daughter of Meshack. James was born Feb. 6, 1789 in either Union or Newberry Co. SC.

After the Rev. the family moved first to Tennessee then to kentucky and Ohio. In 1806 James settled in what is now Wayne Co. IN. On June 15, 1809 in Preble Co. James married Nancy. They had 13 children, seven of whom lived to maturity. They finally settled in the Ridgeville area in Randolph Co. where Meshack had settled several years previously.
