JOE BROWN RELEASES LATEST BOOK- PROCTOR ANCESTORS
Clemmons, N. C. 27012 - September 13, 2012 - JOE BROWN today announced that he will release his latest book, book # 24, "PROCTOR ANCESTORS" on Saturday, September 22, 2012 at Diana's Book Store in Elkin at the Pumpkin Festival.
"PROCTOR ANCESTORS" covers the history of the PROCTOR, VESTAL, AYERS and WHITAKER families going back to the Tenth Century. The Proctor family and the Whitaker family goes back to England, while the Vestal (de Vassal) family and the Ayers (Le Heyr) family goes back to France.
The Vassal family goes back to the Eleventh Century and 27 Great Grandpa R. de Vassal, born in 1050 AD. 10 Great Grandpa John Vassall was the builder and owner of the 'Mayflower' ship (and other ships) that brought Pilgrims to America. The Ayers family goes back to the Tenth Century with connections to the house of the Duke of Normandy.
The Whitaker family goes back to the Eleventh Century, and 24 Great Grandpa Johias de Whitacre, who was born in 1042 AD in England. 10 Great Grandpa John Proctor, 'Ancient Planter' came to America, arriving at the Jamestown Colony in May, 1610, after surviving a shipwreck on the way.
These four families had great leadership, industrious workers, wealth and character. We had ancestors Knighted in England, as well as members of Parliament and Mayors of cities in England. It took a lot of character for our ancestors to make the long trip across the Atlantic Ocean to America back in the 17th Century. The dangerous trip was made in hope of religious freedom and a better life in America. We need to be grateful for our ancestors!

The enumeration was made 15 Nov. 1850Little Page Proctor by Ralph Harrelson
Little Page Proctor was an early pioneer in this county. In the spring of1821, he met with others in the log cabin of John Anderson to implement a county government. Proctor was one of the first three memebers of the Commissioners Court of Hamilton County, Illinois. At the fall term 1821 he was still a member of the court. He helped make the many important decisions for the county in 1821-22 and no doubt had great influence thereafter.
The name Proctor seems to be English, and means "one who rules". One of the British generals in the War of 1812 was named Proctor, but had not the character of our Hamilton County Proctors. Our Proctors were Americans, and
fought as such in the Revolutionary War.
Tecumseh, one of the great Indians of all time, himself a British general, once said to the British general Proctor: "You are not fit to command, go home and put on the petticoat of a squaw". Had Tecumseh said this to Little Page, or to his soldier brothers, they probably would have trained their trusty flint locks upon him.
Little Page Proctor was born in Virginia in 1780. He was living on the Holston River in Virginia when he volunteered for service during the War for Independence. He was in service until 1794, serving with Virginia Troops. He first served under the command of Captain Cornelius Riddle, (Riddle is a pioneer name in Hamilton County also). Proctor served under such notables as George Rogers Clark in the Kentucky Territory of Virginia. For his service Little Page was granted a pension in 1832 while living in this county.
After his service in the Revolution, Little Page remained in Kentucky for two or three years. He then settled in Gallatin County, Illinois.
In 1814, on October 18, Little Page entered at the Land Office in Shawneetown the NW 1/4 of Section 10, T 10S R9E. This quarter section was near the later a little too conceited and he proposed to put him in his place, but received a sound thrashing for his pains.
Charlie Edmonds says that he began working in the stave mill at the age of five. His job was to bundle the staves, putting 52 staves to each bundle. For which he received 10c a thousand, and could bundle eight or nine thousand a day.
A stave bolt was a length of log cut to the size for making staves. This stave bolt was steamed for 12 to 14 hours in a hot box so that it could be cut or porcessed.
The hot box was built like the ice houses of the day. Thick walls filled with saw dust to hold the steam until the bolts were softened enough that they might be cut to proper thickness for the staves.
A large knife was fastened to a table, and the stave bolt moved against it to accomplished this cutting operation in some cases. Others have said the bolt was fastened down and the knife moved against it. Antoher operation was trimming the raw edges off the staves. This was done by putting the raw edge of the stave under another big knife and tripping it so that it cut that edge of the stave off. In either of these operations if the operator get his hand or fingers under the knives they were cut off as were the staves. Quite often the men doing this work had fingers and even a hand missing.
Little Page Proctor
Declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress, passed June 7, 1832.
State of Illinois:
: ss
Hamilton County :
On this 18th day of September 1832, personally appeared in open Court, before the Hon. Thomas C. Browne, judge of the Circuit Court of Hamilton county, now sitting, Little Page Proctor, a resident of said county and state, aged 71 years, or thereabouts (having no record of his age) who being first duly sworn according to law doth, on his oath, make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed June 7, 1832. That he entered the service of the United Sataes under the following named officers and served as herein stated: He resided upon Holston river in the state of Virginia in the year 1777, and in the last of that year or the first part of the year 1778, he volunteered under a Capt. Cornelius Riddle, who said he was authorized to recruit men to go to the relief of the inhabitants in the Virignia Territory, now called Kentucky, who were greatly exposed. He was immediately marched from the town House upon Holston and reendezvoused at Powell's Valley about the 10th of March 1778. He marched under Lieut. Hargrove (he thinks Benjamin) through the wilderness to Kentucky river, where there was a fort called Booneboro. On his arrival at this place, he found the in habitants in great distress, some thirty odd of them having been taken prisoners by the Indians & carried to Detroit in the February before. Capt. Hargrave was ordered into immediate service. He has no commander except Lieunt. Hargrove, and the principal service was guarding the fort against the Indians night and day. Shortly afterwards he was attached (with all of Lt. Hargrave's company) to Capt. Ben. Logan's, who was at Logan's Station, and while with him his service was camping, scouting and spying round the fort, mostly getting back to the fort of nights, but sometimes laying out. During the summer of 1778, Capt John Holder came out from N. Carolina. He was dressed in uniform, & said he was authorized to take command of the troops and Capt. Logan gave up to him the command of the men who had come out under Lt. Hargrave. He then enlisted under him and remained under him for about five years. He was marched from place to place, wherever the enemy was the most troublesome, and was in numerous engagements and skirmishes with the Indians -- at one time surrounded & besieged by them in Booneboro for 9 or 10 days and nights. In the fall of the 3d year after he came to Kentucky, Gen. Geo. Rogers Clark came on with a considerable body of troops, and called to his aid Capt. Holder's Company and the militia of the neighborhood and marched immediately across the Ohio River against the Shawnees, Wyandots and Sanduskies and came upon one of their towns on the Little Miami, which we surrounded and in the course of the ensuring night, the Indians attacked us and the battle was kept up till the break of day, when the Indians made their escape with a considerable loss in killed and wounded. They took in this affair between 30 and 40 prisoners, and returned with them to Boonsboro and kept them until an exchange took place for our prisoners who had been taken to Detroit. The next fall, this applicant marched again under Gen. Clark, in the same company, on another expedition against the Indians (more particularly against the Sanduskies) upon the Scioto, took two or three of their towns, and had one pretty severe battle at Sandusky town, in which the Indians were again defeated with considerabel loss of killed and wounded. He then returned to Kentucky under Capt. Holder who sent him soon after to Stroud's Station, which was commanded by Capt. John Constant, with whom he remained about two years, guarding that and other stations, wherever the danger was most eminent, until peace was given to the frontiers by the victory of Gen. Wayne in 1794. Every garrison or station had its own Captain, and wherever he moved he was placed under the Capt. of the fort. His first Captain was Riddle above named who did not come out to Kentucky till the fall after he marched from Holston, and who never took command of Hargrave's men. His next was Logan. His 3d was Hodler.His 4th Capt. James Estill, afterwards killed in a battle. His 5th Capt James Dooling . His 6th Capt. Johnson under who he served a tour of 3 months, in scouting. His 7th and last, Capt. Constant. At the time of Waynes victory, these officers were all dead or gone off, and this applicant never received one cent of pay, whether from the fact that he did not belong to the Continental money had depreciated and become valuelss, made no inquiry or demand of pay, and let the whole matter drop. He states that he was constantly in service from 1777 or '8 as above stated, till the defeat of the Indians by Gen Wayne in Aug 1794, employed as above stated. He served with no Continental regiments, unless Gen'l Clark's was one-- and whether his service was in what is called State troops, continental line, or militia, he does not know, but supposes it was in the State troops. He has no documentary evidence of his service, except the affidavits or certificates of some of his old neighbors and fellow soldiers obtained last year in Kentucky and sent on to the Treasury Department thro Genl Robinson, one of the Illinois Senators. He respectfully refers the Hon. Secretary of War to those affidavits as confirmatery of his statement made herein, and also to the positive oaths of his brother Nicholas Proctor who served with him throughout in the same service and under the same officers -- excepting that he was in one campaign across the Ohio more than this affiant was in.
He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present, and declares that his name is not on the pension roll of the agency of any state.

James Estill, Saml Estill, Lieutenant. Little P. Proctor during the time he was stationed at Strodes Station served a campaign and ------ with this affiant under Genl Clark in what was called Clarks Campaign.

He also continued to do duty as a soldier and was enrolled as such whenever called on during the war. He cannot state with precision the length of time Little P. Procter served, but he must have served six or eight years or more. He was also in the fort at Boonsborough during the siege of that fort by the Indians and done his duty as a brave soldier during the whole of the Siege, and the fort was at the time commanded by C.J.'s Callaway and Boon.
