| Benjamin Mize. b. abt 1755 who married Rachel
Richardson. Sons are: 1. John b. abt 1775 married Frances "Franky" Ingram... married, lived and died in Patrick Co., VA. Descendants are well documented. 2. Issac b. abt 1785 married Ruth Ingram (sister to Frances above). Moved first to TN, then to Barron Co., KY by 1810. 3. David b. abt 1789 married Mary 'Polly' Quisenberry. Moved first to TN, then to Barren Co., KY by 1810. 4. James b. abt 1777 married Martha "Patsy" Ingram (yes! another sister to Frances above). Moved first to TN (1811), then into Barren Co., KY by 1817. From there he moved to Indiana by 1829. 5. Unknown Son.. as evidenced by the 1800 Rowen Co., NC Census. Benjamin left no will, proof of his line is through land transactions and the fact that 3 of his sons moved with him to Barren Co., Kentucky and the connection between the Ingram families. His son John was well established in Patrick Co., VA by the time of the move so therefore didn't take part in the migration. There may have been other children that we have not located by association.... |

Also, from James Harmon's posting (16 Aug 2001) to genealogy.com, titled "Mize Family": |
||
| Benjamin Mize moved to Barron Co., KY with his
sons, Isaac Mize and David soon after Issac's marriage to Ruth Ingram in 1809
in Patrick Co., Virginia. Possibly James moved with them at the same time but
stayed for a brief period in Overton Co., TN before moving on to Barren Co.,
Kentucky. The family members that did move were in Kentucky as early as 1812 as
evidenced by David's daughter, Martha was listed as born in 1812 in said state.
Benjamin Mize is next and last found in the 1820 Barren Co., Kentucky Federal
Census. Benjamin's 2 daughters are unknown. We only know of them though census records and could have married in Rowan Co., NC, Patrick or Henry Co., Virginia, Overton Co., TN, or Barren Co., Kentucky. If you have a female Mize born between 1775 and 1790 who married in these counties, then you could have a possible hit here. Please contact me at nomrah38655@hotmail.com. Benjamin's son, John Mize, who was probably the oldest, married Frances Ingram in 1800. He was probably well established in home at the time of the move of this parents and siblings and therefore didn't take part in the migration westward. He stayed in Patrick Co., VA and died there between 1840 and 1849. He had 8 known children, Joshua, James, Ruth, Sampson, Rachel, Fleming, John Marshal and Diona 'Dianna' Exoney Mize. Four of his sons moved to Mississippi, Joshua and John Marshal to Lafayette Co., MS, James to Choctaw Co., MS and Fleming for about 10 years before he moved to Arkansas. Sampson stayed in Patrick Co., Virginia. Ruth Mize married Henry Clark and moved to Camp Creek, West Virginia. Rachel Mize married Thomas Martin and Diona 'Dianna' Exoney Mize married John Clark and have no further information where they lived. I descend though Joshua Mize who married Rebekah Thomas in Patrick Co., VA and please contact me if you are connected though any of this branch of the family at nomrah38655@hotmail.com... |
