Read More	John David YORK I # 162367428 Birth: 1708 Olney, Buckinghamshire, England Death: 1772 Orange County (Now Randolph) North Carolina, USA John David YORK I is the proposed first born son of Jeremiah York I and his alleged first wife Sarah Seymour in Olney, Buckinghamshire England. Perhaps he was named after his proposed grandfather John Seymour. It is suggested that John David York I when he was 9 or 10 years old migrated to colonial British America with his father Jeremiah York in 1715 - 1717. The two month sailing voyage across the Atlantic most likely included Jeremiah's newly married sister Ann York and her new husband Solomon Allred. Although not documented the very young two or three year old proposed brother Richard York of John was too young to voyage across the Atlantic. It is likely he was left with family in Olney, Buckinghamshire, England. Extensive research of the YORK families in the low country of Charleston, South Carolina strongly suggest they are descendants of the first marriage of Jeremiah YORK I. These unique YORK families migrated across South Carolina, some into Alabama others into other states with several who migrated into Texas. YDNA testing for some of the descendants of these South Carolina YORK Families appear to provide here before unknown York family connections. Some of these YORK families became pioneer settlers and Indian Fighters for the new Republic of Texas. Never the less; the young John David YORK I had grownup as a half sibling of the ten children of Jeremiah York and Sarah Ann Wilson. It is suggested that John David York may have been restless living with his widowed father Jeremiah YORK I without a wife and may have lived with some relatives or neighbors as an apprentice or an indentured passenger for the voyage to America. Shortly after John David YORK I became a teenager his father Jeremiah YORK I, age 37, married a second time in about 1721 to Sarah Ann Wilson, age 25. Next, it is most likely that John David YORK I, about age 18 met and fell in love with a young woman named Elizabeth Kellock, the "Quaker". They married out of unity to the Quaker faith in 1826 per the Quaker Minutes for New Garden Monthly Minutes, West Nottingham, Chester County, Pennsylvania. This suggests John David YORK I, age 18, who married Elizabeth Kellock, age 18, as an outcast Quaker; needed a home to live in. His father Jeremiah YORK I living in West Nottingham, Chester County, Pennsylvania with his new wife Sarah Ann Wilson, most likely became their new home with a new stepmother, as part of the Jeremiah York I family. It is suggested John David YORK I was not listed in the West Nottingham Tax list; not yet old enough to buy land. John David YORK I and Elizabeth Kellock were parents of only one child John David "Davie" YORK II born about 1727 in West Nottingham, Chester County, Pennsylvania. Most likely Elizabeth Kellock YORK died from complications from childbirth in 1727 of John David YORK II. The following proposed scenario is based upon the original hand written 1755 Orange County, North Carolina Tax List that identifies "John York and son" as Taxable Land Owners of at least age 21. Therefore, the math suggests the elder John David YORK I must be about age 47 in 1755, (1755-1708 = 47) . Furthermore, for the father John David YORK I to have a son John John David YORK II as an eligible land owner of at least 21 suggests his son must be born before 1734, (1755-21=1734); or earlier perhaps in 1727. Note: This scenario suggests for a John David YORK I (1708 England - 1772 NC) who listed his taxes in 1755 in colonial Orange (now Randolph) County, North Carolina and a son John David YORK II (1726 PA - 1778 NC) who also listed in 1755 with his father John David YORK I (1708-1772). This suggests they each lived on adjacent farm land and the elder John David YORK I was paying for both of their taxes. John David YORK I and Elizabeth Kellock were parents of only one known child John David "Davie" YORK II born about 1727 in West Nottingham, Chester County, Pennsylvania. Elizabeth Kellock YORK continued her devotions to the Quaker faith by teaching and influencing her son John David YORK II. This John David YORK branch of the Jeremiah YORK family remained socially and religiously separated from all the other branches of the Jeremiah YORK family. Their descendants did not intermix nor live in the same geographic areas in North Carolina in their adult lives. It is suggested this devoted Quaker couple lived separate from the rest of the Jeremiah YORK I family on Terrapin Neck, because of their Quaker faith in old Fredrick County Virginia. It is believed his wife Elizabeth died about 1765 soon after arriving in Colonial North Carolina. She may have been buried in a separate portion of the original Sandy Creek Baptist Church Cemetery.

Land owners must be 21 to be listed on a Tax List for property they own. It is presumed that John David YORK I and his son John David "Davie" YORK II lived on adjacent property, thus only one entry for them both. I had completely missed the significant statement "John YORK and Son" which is not shown in the 1984 printed book version of the 1755 Orange County, North Carolina Tax List. Source Note: The 1984 hardback book,Compiled by Clarence E. Ratcliff, "North Carolina Tax Payers 1701 - 1786", page 227, ISBN 0-8063-1079-0, Genealogical Publishing Company, Inc. version of the 1755 Tax List only documents John YORK without including "and Son". The late Lois Hamilton had made mention of this to me in a York research conference in 1993 in Jamestown, Fentress County, Tennessee. I failed to pursue this important information from Lois Hamilton until 2018 when it was brought to my attention by my two cousins Ron YORK and Jim YORK.
