Josiah & Gilbert Keen 1774 Surry CO NC Tax
Hi List, I have Josiah Keen and Gilbert Keen listed on the 1774 Surry CO NC tax list of Rev War CoL. Benjamin Cleveland. My Copes' William , James and John Cope are on this tax list. I also see a Spurlock researcher on this forum and John Spurlock has James Garrison taxed with him on this tax list.
William and John Cope on this tax list are listed next to Abraham Creycraft taxed with John Brown. The Boones , Calloways and Linvilles' are on this tax list as is Hans Likens I believe a Swedish desc. The Boones' were Quakers and the Linvilles' were Quakers in Chester CO PA.
Josiah and Gilbert Keen are listed by George heatley, Jesse Johnson and son John with negro Lett, Thomas Spence, Abel Cobb and others.
I tracked some of these families to Wilkes CO NC and to Floyd and Clay CO KY. I found others on this tax list on the 1767 Pittsylvania CO VA tax listings.
Gilbert COPE ( 1840-1928 ) has listed some of the Linvilles and reprinted the 1693 Swedish Tax list in his book 1881 History of Chester CO PA. Gilbert Cope does not list the twp for thses names I will list here for 1693.
1) Hans Kyn's widow 5 in family
2) Jonas Kyn- 8 in family
3) Matts Kyn- 3 in family
A Nils Laican is on this list and appears to be an ancestor of Hans Likens 1774 Surry CO NC- the Lykins are found 1780s-1790s Wilkes CO NC and 1820 Floyd CO KY.
Gilbert Cope 1881 listed this for the Kyn name-
it must be remembered that Swedish surnames , like the Welsh , were reverisable and termination SON indicated " the child of ", as Olsson , the son of Olle. When by contact with the English they were in measure , forced to retain perament surnames, these became much changed ,
Bengtsson became Bankson, Gustafsson -Justice, KYN - KEEN, Didricsson- Derrickson ect.
