Descendants of Isaac Runyon

 

Generation No. 1

1. ISAAC1 RUNYON was born 1738 in Middlesex County, New Jersey, and died 1820. He married CHARITY HAGEMAN 1754, daughter of ADRIAN HAGEMAN and MARY ?.

Notes for ISAAC RUNYON:

As of the year of 1998, to my knowledge documented proof of the name of Isaac Runyon's Father & Mother does not exist.

According to Joe Branson, Provo, Utah who is a descendant of Isaac Runyan, "There has been no known link to Isaac's parents as his cabin burned and all the family records with it.". The source of his information is unknown. Amali (Runyon) Perkins has provided me with a copy of Isaac's handwritten Petition to be placed on the pension list, filed in the County of Tazewell, Virginia dated December 8th, 1819, and Isaac said ".... The precise period of service rendered in Carolina your petitioner cannot now recollect having been so unfortunate as to have all his papers and documents to substantiate the facts herein stated, consumed by fire. ...."

From "Supplement To Runyon Genealogy" by Robert Runyon, 1962, Page 195 - "Col. Calvin I. Kephart, an authority on the genealogy of the Runyon-Runyan families of New Jersey, in a letter to Amos Runyon of Belfry, Kentucky stated that Isaac Runyon who settled in Montgomery County, Virginia about 1780 was a son of Joseph who was born circa 1705. Joseph was a son of Thomas and Martha (Dunn) Runyon. No Substantiating evidence has been found." (E-mail I received indicates that "NJ Arch. XXIII pg 217" may be the source for documentation of Kephart's clams.).

About half of the published Runyon-Runyan trees I have seen list this Joseph Runyan as the father of Isaac.

A second theory states that Isaac's parents were John and Elizabeth (Freeman) Runyon. This John Runyon b. November 18, 1695, Piscataway,Nj was the son of John Runyan and Ann Elizabeth Dunn. The source for this theory appears to be Geri Halstead in "Under The Runyon Tree" stating "to my knowledge, no record of their (John Runyon& Elizabeth Freeman) children has been found" but she said it was "problematical and possible" that the children were 1) Freeman Runyon 2) Nathaniel Runyon 3) Jacob Runyon b. circa 1714 4) John Runyon b. circa 1723 5) William Runyon 6) Isaac Runyon 7) Hugh Runyon.

Without documentation, both theorys are nothing but speculation, and It may be that both are in fact in error. I have seen nothing which would give weight to one theory over the other. I will therefor carry Joseph Runyon, son of Thomas and Martha (Dunn) Runyon as Isaac's line until documented proof of another relationship can be produced.

From "Archives of The Pioneers of Tazewell County, Virginia" by Netti Schreiner-Yantis, Page 211, appeared this abstract of Isaac's petition for a pention. (It should be noted that this is not a "word for word reproduction" of the origional hand written document.)

"Isaac Runion - New Jersey, Virginia

Petition made 08 Dec 1819. Bill drawn 20 Dec

1819.

Isaac served in the militia on several occasions

during the Revolution and has never received but

one dollar for his services. He first enlisted in

New Jersey where he served two months. Next he

served one month on the frontiers of Virginia

under Captain Edwards. Then he served a tour to

North Carolina in Colonel William Campbell's

Regiment of Virginia Militia and lastly a tour in

Captain Edwards Company in Colonel Walter

Crockett's Regiment. Isaac's age now exceeds four

score years and he has lost entire use of his

eyesight. Addron Runion made oath that he knew

Isaac served the tours mentioned. John Preston of

Wythe County states that he first knew Isaac

Runion in the year 1780. He then resided in

Montgomery County on or near Pine Run. Mr.

Preston saw Isaac in North Carolina a short time

before the Battle of Guilford Courthouse, there

were two men of that name, father and son, he

thinks. About 14 or 15 years ago, Isaac Runion

moved from Wythe to Tazewell County. John B.

George deposes that he is well acquainted with

Isaac Runion, that he is 81 years old and he

understands he has been blind for 9 years. He

also has a son who is a cripple, the son is about

50 years old. He also has an aged wife.

Fleming enlisted with the 39th Kentucky Mounted Infantry and was mustered into the service on 15 Jan., 1863, at Piketon. He was in The Battle of Turman's Ferry (See By Robert Baker and Brian Hall) and was one of the men mentioned who suffered frostbite from exposure. Fleming was admitted to the Regimental Hospital on 25 November, 1863, with Chronic Rheumatism according to the Surgeon General’s report and was discharged on 15 Feb., 1864, at Catlettsburg in Boyd Co., KY, due to disability. His pension papers describe him as 6’ tall, fair complexion, light or gray hair, and blue eyes.

On 22 Dec 1885 when J Fleming was about 62, he second married Elizabeth "Peggy" HARDY-ARTRIP (widow of Jackson ARTRIP), in Lawrence Co., KY. Born on Aug. 1827, in NC. They had no children.

J. Fleming STAFFORD died in Boyd Co., KY, (Catlettsburg) on 27 Mar., 1901. Elizabeth HARDY-ARTRIP applied for Fleming’s pension. The pension file is approximately 41 pages long and includes a "Special Investigation" into the circumstances of Fleming’s death. One of Fleming’s daughters, Sophie STAFFORD-WELLMAN, accused their step-mother of having poisoned their father to death. It was never determined from the pension papers whether or not the daughter’s claim was proven to be true.
