William CHENOWETH, son of John CHENOWETH and Mary CALVERT. Born 1718 at Chenowith Manor, Baltimore Co., Md, died Dec 20, 1785 at Berkleley Co., Virginia, 66 or 67 years [316552.ftw] DATE 26 NOV 1995 He was a farmer. Info from Greg NELSON, Salem, OR. ID 6730.166 . William was the fourth son and sixth child, born about 1718, probably near Joppa in Baltimo re County, Maryland. He, like his brothers, John and Thomas, moved to Virginia. Unlike othe r Chenoweth lines, William's lines have been obscured and lost. He had 4 sons and 3 daughter s known by his will of 1785. Until recently only lines were known for his sons Joseph and Isa ac. Part of the problem was the misplacement by Cora Hiatt of his son William, under Willia m Pugh of Randolph County. This is a large strong line. Richard Harris corrected William Pugh , but again misplaced this son, William, under Thomas(2). By his actions and events, this lon g misplaced William, really is the son of William(2) and in this presentation is finally prop erly placed. The lines of Absolom, another son of William, have never been known, but recentl y his marriage has been found and a process is on going to determine his children. Though kno wn, his son Joseph, preceded William's death by a few months, and dying young, had only one s on. These lines all appear to have gone to Ohio, William to Warren then Allen Counties and Jo seph's son and Absolom to Clark Co. Isaac's descendants, traditionally the best known of Will iam's line, went, for the most part, to Fayette Co., PA. William traditionally married an Ann , now thought to be Ann Polk. The marriage was in Virginia when William was about 24. Willia m and Ann lived their married lives in Virginia, William dying at about the age of 67.
