     Templeton Richmond Tullos Jr was born in 1782 at Cumberland County, North Carolina, USA.¹ He married Sarah Ann Boone, daughter of Frederick Sergeant Boon and Sarah Boone, on 4 May 1803 at Effingham County, Georgia, USA.² Templeton Richmond Tullos Jr died in 1850 at Neshoba County, Mississippi, USA.¹

     Sarah Ann Boone was born in 1783 at Halifax, Halifax County, North Carolina, USA.² She married Templeton Richmond Tullos Jr, son of Templeton Richmond Tullos Sr and Thankful Mills, on 4 May 1803 at Effingham County, Georgia, USA.² As of 4 May 1803,her married name was Tullos.¹ Sarah Ann Boone died on 2 August 1850 at Neshoba County, Mississippi, USA.¹

     Temple Tullos, son of Richard Tullos, was born between 1750 an d 1759 in Albemarle or Bedford County, Colony of Virginia, and died after 1840 probably in Marion County, Mississippi. Temole Tullos is named in the will of his father, Richard Tullos, who died in Cumberland County, North Carolina, In 1771. On 19 February 1780 he joined with his mother, Elizabeth, and brother, Willoughby, in selling 200 acres of land and a grist mill in Cumberland County which they had inherited from Richard. He married Thankful Mills, daughter of James Mills and his wife Rebecca Hicks Mills, in Duplin County, North Carolina, probably about 1785. There is some cause to believe that this may have been a second marriage for Temple Tullos. Thankful Mills was listed by her maiden name in the will of her grandmother, Thankful Hicks, who died in Duplin County, North Carolina, in 1785. Temple Tullos was listed in the special state census of North Carolina in 1783 and he and his wife and one son. He was also on a Duplin County tax list in 1802.
Later census records show that Temple Tullos, Junior, was born about 1782 in North Carolina. It is possible, however, that Thankful Mills may have been single when her grandmother's will was written but married Temple Tullos before 1782 and was married when Thankful Hick's will was filed in 1785.

Temple and Thankful Tillis (sic) were members of Little Ogeechee Baptist Church at Oliver, Screven County, Georgia, in 1797, and they were granted a letter of dismissal from that church at their request in 1811. Temple Tullos, of Effingham County, Georgia, drew two chances in the Georgia land lottery of 1805. Both chances were blank; thus he got no land. Temple Tullis (sic) with his wife and eleven children, and Temple Tellis (sic) with his wife and three children, all from the County of Effingham, were granted passports to "travel through the Indian Nations to the Western Country" on 29 November 1811.

Temple Tullos and his family followed his brother, Willoughby Tullos , to the Mississippi Territory and settled in Pike County. Temple Tullis (sic ) was listed in the Pike County, Mississippi, in the special state census of the Mississippi Territory taken in 1816, and he paid taxes in Pike County in 1816.

Temple Tullos, Senior, was listed in the 1820 federal census of Pike County, and he paid taxes in Pike County in 1831. He was listed as Temple Tillis (si c) in the 1840 census of Marion County, Mississippi. He was then 80 to 90 years old and one female, age 30 to 40, was listed in the household with him. It appears that Thankful Tullos had died before 1840. The female listed in his household that year has not been identified. She may have been an unmarried daughter or, possibly, his second (third?) wife. Temple Tullos has not been located in any record after 1840. It is assumed that he died in Marion County shortly there-after; Vol.1 7; p.676

     Richard Tullos, son of John and grandson of Cloud Tullos

St. Stephen's Parish records births of several children to Richard Tiles (sic): Richard in 1730 and twins Elizabeth and Sarah Ann in 1731. By 1751 Richard was living in St. Anne Parish in Albemarle County Virginia. On 8 June 1751 Richard sold 150 acres in Northumberland Co. to Major William Taite, who already owned adjoing land. The deed states that the land "was escheated by Claud Tullos about the year sixteen hundred and eighty, which land descended to his son, John Tullos, and from him to his son, Richard Tullos, one of the parties of this deed." Richard received several patents for land in Albemarle County (which later became Bedford County). On several deeds when he sold land, his wife Elizabeth is named. They appear to have left Bedford Co. by about 1764, moving for a short time to Anson County, North Carolina before settling in Cumberland County, North Carolina.

On 4 Feb 1765 Richard Tullos of Anson Co. NC bought 200 acres of land and a mill in Cumberland County, NC from John Smith, Sandhill. Rassie E. Wicker, in his book MISCELLANEOUS ANCIENT RECORDS OF MOORE COUNTY, NC (1971), page 357, wrote this about Richard Tullos (or Tillis): "The late Neill Dowd who, until his death a few years ago, lived on this land, told the writer that it was said that Tillis attempted to improve his mill by the construction of a flume or ditch along the rocky bank of the creek, to a point downstream where a great head could be secured. The work progressed until a particularly refractory ledge of rock was encountered. In a bull-headed attempt to remove this obstruction, Tillis spent all his means and finally committed suicide. The writer has seen the traces of this flume, and the obstruction which defeated Tillis' efforts. On February 10th, 1780, Elizabeth, Temple and Willoby Tillis conveyed this land and mill to Isaac Saunders." (I don't know if Richard Tullos really committed suicide. Elizabeth Tullos appears on the 1782 tax list for Anson County, and on the 1783 census for Duplin Co. NC. Temple and Willoughby Tullos are also heads of household in the 1783 Duplin Co. census.)

The will of Richard Tullos was written on 21 March 1771 and it was filed before court in October 1771. His will names John Lawrence and son, John Tullos, executors. Richard lived in what is now Moore Co., just over the border from southeastern Randolph County. I think the executor John Lawrence must've been my ancestor who was in Randolph Co. If so, it is the only instance I've found of Tullos/Lawrence dealings in NC.

Richard Tullos' son, Richard, remained in Bedford Co. Virginia, where he died about 1817. He and his wife were Quakers. In September 1774, Richard (Tullas) was granted permission to visit at New Garden Monthly Meeting in North Carolina, which was in Guilford Co. NC. Perhaps he was visiting his mother, or seeing to some business from his father's estate?¹ BIRT PLAC N'umberland Co., VA (St Stephen's Par.)

OCCU Planter

Richard Tullos, son of John Tullos, was born 1 January 1701 in Northumberland County, Colony of Virginia, and died in 1771 in Cumberland County, Colony of North Carolina. He was a planter. Richard Tullos, o f St. Stephen's Parish, sold John Lewis a tract of land in Northumberland County in 1727. He served as adminstrator of his father's estate in Northumberland County in 1737 . The register of St. Stephen's Parish, Northumberland County, contains a record of the following births: Richard Tiles (sic), son Of Richard, born 31 March 1730; Elizabeth and Sarah Ann Tiles (sic), twins to Richard, born 6 December 1731. The Parish register also contains a record of the birth of Ann Teles (sic), daughter to Richard, born 11 June 1728; and William Tiles (sic), son to Richard, born 18 Augus t 1734. Richard Tullos had one daughter named Sarah Ann and she was named i n his will. He did not name a son, William, in his will. It is this compiler's opinion that Ann and William Tullos were children of another Richard Tullos (#122).

There is a record (not documented by this compiler), possibly from Northumberland County, which shows that on 13 November 1750 one Larn ed Bussel was bound by the court to Richard Tullos until he reached the age of 21 to be taught the trade of shoemaker and to be taught to read and write. Richard Tullos moved from Northumberland County sometime before 1751. On 8 June of that year, he was living in St. Anne Parish in Albemarle County, Virginia, when he sold 150 acres of land in Northumberland County to Major William Taite for the sum of fifty-five pounds "current money". The land was described as "lying in the fork of th e said Major William Taite's mill pond bounded by the lands of Patrick Nealy, John Smith, John King and Elizabeth Tullos, which land was escheated by Claud Tullos about the year 1680, which land descended to his son, John Tullos, and from him to his son, Richard Tullos, one of the parties of this deed." The Elizabeth Tullos mentioned in the deed was either the widow of Richard Tullos (#12) or of John Tullos ( #153)

Richard Tullos acquired and sold four tracts of land in Albemarle (later Bedford) County Virginia. It is probable that he was speculating in land in a small way. On 16 August 1756 he recieved a King's patent for 167 acres in Albemarle described as being "on both sides of Ivy Creek at Blackwater." He paid twenty shillings for the land and held it until 22 February 1763 when he sold it to Benjamin Johnson for sixty-five pounds "current money." When he sold the land was described as "lying formerly in Albemarle but now in Bedford County on Ivy Creek, " and Richard Tullos then lived in the County of Bedford in the Parish o f Rustle." Elizabeth Tullos signed the deed with her husband. Richard Tullos held that land longer than any other tract that he owned in the area, therfore, it is probable that he made his home on that land.

Richard Tullos recieved another patent for 115 acres of land in Albemarle, also on 16 August 1756, and also described as being on Ivy Creek at Blackwater. He sold that 115 acres on 24 March 1760 to Edward Bright for twenty pounds "current money of Virginia" and Elizabeth Tullos joined him in excuting the deed. On 23 May 1760, Richard Tullos recieved a King's patent for 400 acres of land in Albemarle described as being on the north side of and adjoining the Fluvanna River. He sold the land to John Goodwin, 27 September 1760, for fifty-five pounds "Virginia money". Richard Tullos recieved a patent for 352 acres of land in Albemarle County "on the head of Cedar Creek between the waters of Ivy Creek and Tomahawk Creek" on 25 March 1762, at a cost of thirty-five shillings. He sold 170 acres of that tract to Charles Lynch on 28 February 1764 for twenty pounds "current money ," The land was described as being on a branch of Ivy Creek called "Cedar Creek," and the deed notes that the residue of the tract was granted to Byram Ballard. O n 29 February 1764, Richard Tullos sold 190 acres of land to Byram Ballard for twenty three pounds "current money of Virginia." The deed notes tha t the land was part of a tract the residue of which was granted to Charles Lynch. elizabeth Tullos joined her husband in excuting those two deeds. There was a difference of eight acres between the land that Richard Tullos acquired by patent in 1762 and the sum of the two tracts that he sold in 1764.

It appears that, after leaving Bedford County, Virginia, Richard Tullos lived for a short time in Anson County, North Carolina, before moving on to Cumberland County, North Carolina. On 4 February 1765 Richard Tullos , of Anson County, North Carolina, purchased from John Smith, Sandhill, 200 acres of land and a mill in Cumberland County, North Carolina, for the sum of 100 pounds "Provincial money." Richard Tullos later acquired an additional 200 acres in Cumberland County which probably joinrd the tract that he bought from John Smith, Sandhill. R ichard Tullos willed the land to his sons at his death. The land was described as "joining the old survey granted by His Majesty Letter Patent unto John Smith bearing date of 21 February 1763." That tract was in addition to the plantation and grist mill that he left to his wife during her lifetime.

The will of Richard Tullos was written on 21 March 1771 and witnessed by James Sanday, Joseph Buchanan and William Morris. The will was filed before a court held in Cumberland County in October 1771, by William Morris, one of the subscribing witnesses. Like many early wills, it was written only a few months before Richard's death. It is possible that he was ill and anticipation death when the will was written.

Richard left the plantation and the grist mill where he lived to his two younger sons, Temple and Willoughby. After Elizabeth's death or remarriage her one-third interest was to pass to Temple and Willoughby. He left the 200 acre tract mentioned above to his sons John and Temple. He left a sorrel horse , her (sic) saddle and briddle, and his horned cattle to his wife, Elizabeth. To his daughter, Sarah Ann, and her husband, James Morgan, he left one ewe . To daughters, Elizabeth Bunnell and Jane Gwyn, and to his son Richard Tullos, he left five shillings each; to be paid to them by his younger sons, Temple and Willoughby , when they came of the age of twenty one years. The natural conclusion to be drawn from those nominal bequests is that Richard Tullos intended to name each of his living children in the will. His son Richard Tullos, had stayed behind in Bedford County, Virginia, and his daughters may have stayed there, too. It ma y have been that the children who were left the bulk of his estate were the ones that were with him in Cumberland County. Richard Tullos mentiones no slaves in his will; presumably, he had none. He named John Lawrence and his son, John Tullos, to Serve as executors of his will.

On 19 February 1780, Elizabeth Tullos, and her sons Temple and Willoughby, sold the 200 acres plantation and the grist mill in Cumberland County to Isaac Sanders for the sum of eighty pounds. Elizabeth Tillis (sic) was list ed as the owner of 150 acres of land in Anson County in an 1782 tax list. Elizabeth Tullos, with one other female in her household, was living in Duplin County, North Carolina, at the time of the 1783 census. Temple and Willoughby Tullos were also in Duplin County then; each listed as head of a family. We may assume that they were married by then.

     In “Washington’s Mount Vernon: At Home in Revolutionary America” (Oxford University Press, 2000), authors Robert F. Dalzell and Lee Baldwin Dalzell write:
“...It was only natural, then, that when he [George Washington] needed brickwork done on the foundations of the house he was enlarging in the late 1750s, his sights extended no further than William and Thomas Triplett.

“Like Washington, the Tripletts belonged to a family long established in the Northern Neck and fell within the circle of kin and easy hospitality. Just as their father and Gus Washington had probably cantered across the frozen fields of their adjoining farms chasing foxes, so the brothers were regular hunting companions of Washington’s during the winter and spring months. Nor was that all they had in common. Their great-grandfather Francis Triplett had arrived in Virginia just three years after John Washington and had settled in the same neighborhood in Westmoreland County. Like John Washington, he accumulated land by bringing over servants, which eventually netted him 10,500 acres. Also, Francis Triplett’s attorney was Nathaniel Pope, John Washington’s brother-in-law. And Originall Browne – another neighbor of the Washingtons, Popes and Tripletts – appointed Lawrence Washington guardian of his youngest daughter, Mary, who grew up to link all three families by marriage. One of her brothers-in-law was a Pope; one of her nieces, Jane Butler, was Gus Washington’s first wife; and she herself married one of Francis Triplett’s sons. A son of theirs, in turn, would become the father of William and Thomas Triplett.
“...For all the Tripletts and Washingtons had in common, however, there remained significant differences between them. John Washington, “the immigrant,” served in the House of Burgesses and was an intimate of Governor William Berkeley’s. His sons, grandsons, and great-grandsons were educated as gentlemen in England. Francis Triplett, on the other hand, came to the colonies as a cooper, and future generations of Tripletts continued to make their way as tradesmen.”.² Originall Browne was born in 1574 at Bythorn, Huntingdonshire, England.¹ He died in 1655 at Virginia, America.¹

     William Browne was born in 1618 at Virginia, America.¹ He died on 18 December 1670 at Westmoreland County, Virginia, America.¹

NOTE: Robert Savage and Charles Savage were father and brother to Lovelis Savage Sr.. Lovelis Savage Sr. was father to Olive Sarah (Savage) Mangrum (wife of John Mangrum II/Jr. and granddaughter to above Robert Savage).

My point is: Savage and Mangrum families were known to, and intermarried among, Williams, Browne and Wall families in late 1600s and early to mid 1700s.

John Williams daughter, Anne, married John Browne. Anne and John Browne's son, James Browne, married Martha LNU, and they had two known children...John and Elizabeth Browne.

After James Browne's death, the widow Martha Browne then married Nicholas Mangrum (circumstancial evidence says Nicholas was brother to John Mangrum, above, husband of Olive Sarah Savage).

NOTE: Joseph Wall and wife, Susan Kilpatrick, had a son, John Wall. John Wall's children: son, Aaron Wall, married Elizabeth Browne; his daughter, Hannah Wall, married John Browne...children of James Browne and Martha LNU. See the will of widow Martha LNU Browne Mangrum which names her two children by James Browne as Elizabeth Wall and John Browne...her son, Joseph Mangrum, didn't profit from her will as much as her Browne children...maybe he was wealthy?

Source: Dr. Barry Hayes: I believe that Dr. William Mann's analysis in Boddie, Historical Southern Families, Vol. 6, p. 211, was correct that the John Williams who left the will in 1686/87 was indeed the husband of the Whitley woman. The proof, some of which Dr. Mann did not cite, is as follows: The widow Ann Whitley filed to administer her late husband John Williams’ estate in 1692. He made his will 7 Feb 1686 and it was proved 2 May 1687. Named in his will were his children Ann Williams, Sarah Williams, Elizabeth Williams, Thomas Williams and John Williams. Therefore, the children of John Williams and Ann Whitely are:
1. Ann Williams named in father's will
2. Sarah Williams named in father's will
3. Elizabeth Williams named in father's will
4. Thomas Williams named in father's will
5. John Williams named in father's will John Williams devised to young Charles Durham a heifer; the elder Durham witnessed. The son John Williams, Jr. deposed in April 1693 with regard to the James Tullaugh dam that he was only 18, and the younger Charles Durham deposed that he was 30 (Isle of Wight Deed Book # 1, p. 60). Charles Durham, probably the Elder, appraised the estate of James Tullaugh in 1698. The elder Charles Durham was the stepfather of John Williams, Jr. before October 1693 when Durham ceded the property devised to his stepson by John Williams, Sr. (Court Order 1693-95, p. 6). Finally but perhaps most importantly, in 1695 Charles Durham represented the wife Mary and other heirs of John Whitley, Jr., who had recently become the brother-in-law of Charles Durham, in settling the estate of John Whitley, Jr. See Boddie, Seventeenth Century Isle of Wight, p. 624.
