!BIRTH DATE/PLACE, DEATH DATE/PLACE: Greenbrier County, West
Virginia, Death Register, page 110 ("Horace Suddith; died Aug. 25,
1894; cause: old age; age 84 years, 4 months, 9 days; parents Geo &
Sarah A.; born Va.; farmer; spouse Martha; informant J.S. Burdett,
daughter"). Birth year and place also reflected in Federal Census;
1850; Fayette County, Virginia (now West Va.); page 346 ("Horris
Sudderth", age 40). This family was living in Albemarle County,
Virginia, in 1840 (census, page 159) ("Horace Suddarth"). (The ages
of the children in the two census records match.) Horace and his
wife, Martha, were living in Fayette County in 1860 (census, page
393) and in Greenbrier County in 1870 (census, page 416). The death
register cited above is incorrect in relation to Horace's father (see
below).
!MARRIAGE: Marriage bond; clerk's office; Albemarle County, Va.
Also in Albemarle County Marriages, 1780-1853; by John Vogt &
T. William Kethley, Jr.; vol. I; page 303 (citing Marriage Register
1806-1868, folio 53). Bondsman was Drury Clements. Witness was
James Melton, who also affirmed that Horace was over 21.
!Based on the marriage records of Horace's two youngest daughters,
the family moved from Albemarle County to Fayette County (see above)
between 1846 and 1849 (see notes re: birth places under Martha and
Elizabeth).
!FATHER: The following evidence indicates that my Horace Suddarth
was a son of Jarrott Suddarth:
(1) The personal property tax lists for Albemarle County strongly
suggest that my Horace was a son of Jarrott (see below). For example,
the notation "&c" first appears in Jarrott's entry in the same year
when my Horace would have turned 16, and the number of tithable
persons in Jarrott's household goes from 2 to 1 in the same year when
Horace's name first appears as a separate entry.
(2) The household of Jarrott Suddarth in the 1810 census (Albemarle
County, Virginia, page 13B) has two male children under the age of 10;
my Horace was born about 1810.
(3) The household of Jarott Suddarth in the 1830 census (Albemarle
County, Virginia, page 284) has one male child age 15-20. (I cannot find
Jarrott in the 1820 census.)
(4) The entry for Horace's death in the Greenbrier County, West
Virginia, death register states that his mother's name was Sarah (see
above), and Jarrott Suddarth married a Sally.
(5) In the 1860 census of Albemarle County (pages 599A, 599B), the
family of my ancestor "Nat L Sutherds" (Nathaniel L. Suddarth), the oldest
son of my Horace Suddarth, is listed as living next door to the family of
Randolph and "Tabitha" (Cebitha) "Sutherds," son-in-law and daughter of
Jarrott Suddarth. This is especially significant given that Horace was no
longer living in the county (see above); that Nathaniel was 25 years old
and had married less than three years earlier; and that Nathaniel was living
with his parents in Fayette County in 1850 but returned to Albemarle
sometime before marrying in 1857. With Horace as a son of Jarrott,
Randolph and Cebitha would have been Nathaniel's uncle and aunt.
(6) The witness on Horace's marriage bond was James Melton, and
one Elisha Melton was a neighbor of Lawrence Suddarth, father of
Jarrot Suddarth (see note under Lawrence Suddarth).
(7) I have been unable to find any George and Sarah Suddarth who
could have been the parents of Horace (see below).
!The evidence from the Albemarle County personal property tax lists is
as follows (I have checked only 1823 through 1835):
(1) Jarrott Suddarth (with various spellings of the first name) appears
in the lists for 1823 through 1825, with no notation re: more than one
tithable person.
(2) In the list for 1826, the entry for Jarrott reads "Jarred Suddith &c".
My Horace would have turned 16 in 1826.
(3) In the lists for 1827 through 1829, Jarrott Suddarth again appears
with no other notation, and only one tithable person in the household.
(The lists before 1827 do not state the number of tithables in each
household.)
(4) In 1830, Jarrott Suddarth is listed with two tithable persons.
My Horace would have turned 20 years old in 1830.
(5) In 1831 and 1832, the listing reads "Jarrett Suddarth & son,"
and the home is charged with two tithable persons.
(6) In 1833 through 1835, Jarrot Suddarth is again listed with one
white tithable and no notation re: a son. My Horace Suddarth married
in November 1832.
(7) In 1833, a name that looks like "Hansel" Suddarth appears, with
one tithable person and one "Horse &c." This is the first year in which
"Jarard" Suddarth is listed with one tithable person rather than two.
(A poorly-written "Horace" could well look like "Hansel" if a different
person were copying it over.)
(8) In 1834 and 1835, Horace Suddarth is listed, with one tithable
person and one "Horse &c."
(9) In the list for 1832 (the year before my Horace first appears),
only two Suddarth households include the notation "& son": those of
Jarrett Suddarth and William Suddarth. This William Suddarth does not
appear on the lists for 1833 through 1835. My Horace is apparently not
the "son" listed with William in 1832, because he (Horace) is not named
as an heir in the will of William Suddarth, probated in August 1832
(Albemarle County Will Book 11, page 55). One William H. Suddarth
first appears in the list for 1833, and the will of William Suddarth names
William H. Suddarth as one of his sons.
(10) Two other Suddarth households in the 1832 list (other than those
of Jarrett and William) include more than one tithable person (without the
notation "& son": those of Tandy Suddarth and Richard P. Suddarth. The
only recorded marriage of Richard Sudduth occurred in 1813 -- three years
after my Horace was born (Albemarle County Marriages, 1780-1853; by
John Vogt & T. William Kethley, Jr.; vol. I; page 303). Tandy Suddarth
married a Betsey/Elizabeth, not a Sarah/Sally (ibid., page 302). Also, in
the personal property tax list of 1834, two persons are specifically
identified as "Son of T" (Wm and Joseph). Since Tandy Suddarth is the
only Suddarth on the list whose first name starts with that letter, those
two persons are apparently sons of Tandy. Since they were so
designated, Horace would presumably also have been so designated if
he were a son of Tandy.
(11) There is no George Suddarth in the lists for 1823 through 1835.
!One Martha Suddarth was a witness on the marriage bond of
Cebitha Suddarth, daughter of Jarrot Suddarth, in 1841 -- nine years
after my Horace Suddarth married Martha Clements (Albemarle County
Marriages, 1780-1853; by John Vogt & T. William Kethley, Jr.; vol. I;
page 302). However, this Martha Suddarth could well be a daughter
of Jarrot Suddarth, rather than his daughter-in-law (see note under
Martha Suddarth).
!My efforts to link my Horace Suddarth to a George Suddarth as his
father have yielded the following results:
(1) I cannot find a George Suddarth who could be my Horace's
father in the census records of Virginia. He is not the George Suddoth
in Culpeper County in 1830 and 1850 (too young). The George Sudduth
in Logan County, Ohio, in 1850, is also too young.
(2) One George Sudduth, age 63 and born in Virginia, with wife Sarah,
age 57 and born in Virginia, apears in the 1850 census of Franklin County,
Kentucky (page 86A). But these are apparently not the parents of my
Horace. The oldest child listed in this George's family was age 31 and
born in Kentucky, meaning that he (George) was in that state by about
1819. Since my Horace Suddarth was born about 1810 and married in
Virginia, his father was probably not in Kentucky by about 1819.
(3) One George Suddarth was living in Fauquier County, Virginia, in
the 1790s: George Suthard appears on a 1790 personal property tax list
for Fauquier County (abstract on VAGenWeb); George Suddoth appears
on a 1799 personal property tax list for Fauquier County (abstract on
VAGenWeb); and the signature of George Sudduth appears on a
December 8, 1801, religious petition from Fauquier County (image #5),
in the Library of Congress's American Memory collection. Also, one George
Suddarth is mentioned as a son of the testator in the will of William
Sudduth, executed in 1785 and probated in Fauquier County, Virginia in
1795 (Fauquier County Will Book 2, page 367, as abstracted in Abstracts
of Fauquier County, Virginia, Wills, Inventories and Accounts, 1759-1800,
by John K. Gott (1972), pages 246-247). But this George Suddarth of
Fauquier County appears to have either died or left the Commonwealth
well before the birth of my Horace, since I cannot find him in any records
after 1801.
(4) Based on anecdotes from other researchers and my own experience,
the death registers of 1853+ are often unreliable as to the parents of the
deceased (for example, see notes under Nancy Clements in this gedcom,
on an unrelated line).
