Individual Details

The House of Proctor website has this man as John G. Proctor, being the son of Uriah Proctor, b. about 1741, St Thomas Parish, Orange Co, VA, and his wife, Martha Singleton, who Uriah married 22 Aug 1776, Orange Co, VA. John G. Proctor is said to have died 1819, Jessamine Co. which would eliminate him as this John, if true - and he was not a son of Uriah. However, there is no indication of this man's death that early. The probate records of Jessamine Co which have been digitized contain nothing for a John Proctor who died about 1819. He cannot be completely eliminated from possibly being the John who was a son of Hezekiah Proctor. We simply have two Johns of the same age that cannot be placed with a great degree of reliability in their respective families. I would have to say that his relationship to Uriah Proctor is uncertain, but have no other place for him at this time.

I believe this is the same John Proctor that moves to Logan Co KY, perhaps as early as 1810, and is still living there, married to an Elizabeth, in 1850. Provided this is all the same John Proctor as it appears to be - he first lived near Benjamin Proctor on the Little Whipporwill, but about 1827, relocated further south in Logan Co to the Red River watershed.

John's marriage in Jessamine Co KY to Eleanor Offutt in 1804, is found in the Kentucky Marriages database at Ancestry.com. The names of their children from the will of Samuel Offutt, Eleanor's father, forms the link to this family in Logan Co. Eleanor had died leaving four children, one of whom, Elizabeth, is said to have died young, and the other three - Charles, Samuel & Matilda - have records in Logan Co. Matilda was likely her youngest child born in 1813. And Robert F. Proctor, son of John, but not listed as a child of Eleanor Offutt in her father's will, was born about 1817. Eleanor's brother Tilghman Offutt was living in Logan Co by 1810 and lived his entire life there, and another brother married in that place.

In 1810 In Jessamine County we find:
Uriah Proctor, 1m 16-26 (Thomas Singleton who did not marry until 1815), 1m over 45 (Uriah), and 1f age 10-16 (no unmarried daughters known)
George Proctor: 1m -10, 1m 26-45, 1f 16-26 (likely Uriah's son George M. Proctor)
and two Johns - neither of which could be this man who had married in 1804
Near to Ezekiel, Catlet, Mulenburg Proctor and a William over age 45, was a John Jr. - possible called Junior as the younger man of that name - he had 2m -10, 1m 26-45, 1f -10, 1f 10-16, and 1f 26-45. It is unlikely that the John married to Eleanor in 1804 would have these four children, particularly one that is over age 10. Of course, there is always the possibility of other relatives in a household.
and on a different page : John Sr., 1m 26-45, 1m over 45, 2 females over 45, near a Hezekiah Proctor who was also over age 45.
[Notes: Hezekiah of Logan Co first had a survey for a Kentucky patent in Logan Co in 1805, but not until 1812 does he seem to appear as an actual resident there. Hezekiah later of Logan Co, was just about age 46 in 1810 and is not found elsewhere in 1810. It is also true that a John Proctor who married Lucy Henderson is known to have been in Jessamine Co and had a son, John Jr also present there. It is quite likely these are the two Johns of 1810 in Jessamine Co. - neither having ever lived in Logan Co. Evidence of John Proctors will be present in Jessamine until after 1830 - but they would seem to be records of these two Johns, and not a John Proctor who came to Logan Co.]


1810 Tax List Logan Co – the first time a John Proctor appears on the Logan Co Tax lists – and there was only one – 600 acres noted but I failed to get the water course. He was counted near Ben Proctor whose lands were on the Little Whipporwill – Ben had been there since 1802; Thomas Proctor since 1799; Hezekiah doesn’t appear until 1811. John had two slaves, 3 horses
Disclaimer regarding tax lists: not all were complete; some pages unreadable; always possible names were missed. Usually taxed for previous year. It also seems to be true that when several tracts were owned by the same person, they weren’t declared consistently.

8 Aug 1808 - Kentucky land grant, 40 acres on Little Whipporwill, surveyed for John Proctor
8 May 1811 – Kentucky land grant, 200 acres on Little Whipporwill, surveyed for John Proctor.

Note: Ben and Nancy had a son John but he wasn't yet born. By 1814 John is taxed on 80, sometimes 82 acres as a separate tract from the 200 acres he had patented on Little Whipporwill

1811 Tax List Logan Co – A John Proctor counted with 400 acres on the Muddy, entered by A. Martin (Note – there were several Muddy forks and creeks in Logan Co – at times Ben Proctors lands also said Muddy but the acreage was the same as that on the Little Whipporwill. This tract entered by Martin will also appear at times with watercourse as Little Whipporwill. The location apparently the same.). Two slaves, 4 horses.

1813 Tax List Logan Co. John has 390 acres on the Whipporwill in Logan and 200 acres in Hopkins County. 3 slaves, 4 horses.

Ben Proctor was one of commissioners that took inventory of Betsy’s father Robert Furbush, 19 Jan 1815.

The marriage of a John Proctor to Betsy Furbush was on 2 Nov 1815 in Logan Co. This fits nicely in between John's children, Matilda and Robert.

1819 Logan Co Tax List: John Proctor with 280 acres on the Little Whipporwill, 6 slaves, 5 horses.

The John Proctors still in Jessamine Co:
1820 Jessamine Co Census:
John Proctor: 2m under 10, 3m 10-16, 2m over 45; 1f -10, 2f 16-26, 2f 26-45. Obviously a household made up of two couples, if would be impossible to sort the children.
and in 1830 a John Proctor was still in Jessamine Co.... he had 2m age 5, 1m 5-10, 1m 10-14, 1m 15-20, 1m 20-30, and a male age 40-50 (which is the right age to be one of several John Proctors); 1f 5-10, 1f 15-20, 1f 20-30, 1f 40-50. Several more children than can be attributed to any John Proctor connected to Logan Co. This John in Jessamine is likely the John Jr, son of John Proctor & Lucy Henderson.
A John Proctor in Jessamine Co - again this seems more likely to be either the John who married Lucy Henderson, or his son.
Jessamine Co KY WB C, p. 399 (img 200) - One of the appraisers of the estate of Richard Lafon, was John Proctor - along with John Lancaster & Joseph Hughes 15 Oct 1824

Jno Proctor bought a barrel of whiskey and so did a Lewis Gatewood. Jno Proctor also bought a cut saw for $8, 25 #'s of sugar, 2 Butcher knives. Total from the sale - $2320.
Note: The John Proctor in Logan Co had a neighbor, Fielding Gatewood.

And here are other possible associates of the John Proctor of Logan - back in Jessamine Co

Dec Court 1824 - Sales of the estate of John Trimble, dec'd
Buyers included James Trimble, Mary Trimble, Samuel Offutt (Eleanor's father or brother)- bought 3 calves

But I believe this John was likely in Logan Co in 1820, even though he and his spouse were not likely over age 45. There was only a single John Proctor present. But the ages bring into question whether or not there was one John Proctor present from about 1810 through 1850. Or if a John Proctor left or died circa 1827 and a second one moved into Logan Co. The two Johns do not overlap.
1820 Census. Logan Co, KY
John Proctor: 2m under 10, 2m 10-16, 1m over 45. 3f under 10, a blur for 10-16, 1f 16-26, and 1f over age 45.

1821 Logan Co Tax List – John Proctor with 200 acres on Little Whipporwill, entered by Anthony Martin, patented to Jno Proctor. Another tract of 82 acres. 8 slaves, 5 horses.

1822 Logan Co Tax List: John Proctor with the same 200 on Little Whipporwill as in 1821 and another 100 acres tract. 9 slaves, 6 horses. This year children between ages 4 and 14 were counted – John declared none this age. Suggests that the John counted in 1820 in Logan Co had grandchildren in his household and was over age 45 – which could make him the “brother of Thomas, Benjamin & Hezekiah” and suggest two very different John Proctors. John Proctor who married Eleanor and Elizabeth would have several children in this category - unless the list was misread.

1823 Logan Co Tax List: John Proctor with the same 200 acres entered by A. Martin & several other tracts – 9 slaves, 5 horses.
A second John Proctor - apparently a young single man with only his own poll appears in 1823 and 1824. Possibly born say 1800-1802 - he is unidentified.

1824 Logan Co Tax List. John Proctor – 200 acres on Little Whipporwill, another tract of 83 acres. 9 slaves. 7 horses.

1825 Logan Co Tax List. One John Proctor – same land on Whipporwill, 9 slaves, 8 horses.

Logan Co DB O, p.141
22 Aug 1826. Evan McPherson to John Proctor for $348. 116 acres. Stake in Morton's line; John Copelands line. Rec. 2 Oct 1826.
Other deeds show that Evan McPherson's land was located on the Red River. As late as 1838, Ann Gilbert, wife of Anthony Gilbert relinquishes her dower rights to a tract on the Red River to John Proctor and Evan McPherson. This might be John's first purchase in that area - but he doesn't declare it for tax purposes.

1826 Logan Co Tax List. John Proctor – 200 acres on Little Whipporwill entered by A. Martin, patented by J. Proctor. 3 acres, same watercourse, entered by J. McPherson. 10 slaves, 9 horses.

1827 Logan Co Tax List is missing. But it appears that John and his wife are selling the property that he has been paying tax on since 1813. She is named as Elizabeth in the deed, but signed as Betsey. Is this Betsey Furbush? If so, they have been in Logan Co since their marriage and he was there prior to the marriage – perhaps even when his first Eleanor was still living.
Logan Co DB O, p. 231
5 Mar 1827 John Procter & Elizabeth his wife to Dudly Robertson for $1200. Two tracts on headwaters of Little Whipporwill. One is 240 1/2 acres; bordered by Charles Moreheads, James Offett, Ben Proctor, James Foster line. Second of 60 1/4 acres bordered by James Offett.

Apparently a John Proctor, member of the Baptist Church, has resigned as Trustee.

Phillip Warden Moderator
There was a change -
May Term 1829
p.438 The Baptist Church at Bethany this day filed a certificate.......Ordered that Thomas Proctor and Dudley Robinson be appointed trustees to said Bethany Church in the place of Edward Collins and John Proctor

By 1828, John was definitely in Logan Co KY, if he isn't actually the same John Proctor that has been there all along (and I believe he was)- he settled the estate of his young son, Charles Y. Proctor. He lived near Tilghman Offutt, his first wife's brother. A Logan Co tax record in 1820, places Tilghman as living on the Red River; beginning about 1828, John Proctor's records will also be associated with that watercourse.

In 1828, there is no John with land on Little Whipporwill - instead a John is listed with 489 acres, location unclear - in 1829, the John Proctor in Logan Co had 540 acres on Woolsey Creek - the tract he continues to be taxed on for several years. Woolsey was part of the watershed of the Red River and John gave parts of the acreage to his sons. The 200 tract, patented in 1811, does not appear to be in the hands of any of the Proctors subsequently to 1826.

Logan Co Court Orders, Book 8
P.379 May Term 1828 John Proctor - letters of administration granted on Charles Y. Proctor, Dec’d

22 May 1828. Logan Co WB D, p.84. Appraisal of estate of Charles Y. Proctor, dec’d. William b. Windsor was one of the appraisors. Admin of the estate was father, John Proctor. Buyer of most of the household goods was Margaret Proctor, and she will appear as head of household in 1830 and 1840, but with a much older lady in her household. Margaret bought a horse and shows up in the tax records of Logan Co, paying tax on a horse.

Note: The use of "Y" as a middle initial for several of his children is thought to possibly have been for "Young". Hezekiah Proctor of Logan Co KY is known to have married a Nancy Young as his first wife in Orange Co, VA, in the same Parish where Uriah Proctor had married, and Hezekiah also had a son named John. This has caused this man to be placed also as Hezekiah's son, and that cannot be completely eliminated as a possibility - however, it seems more likely Hezekiah's son John had gone to Illinois about 1814. The two Johns were close to same age. . Possibly there were other Proctor relationships to a Young family back in Virginia.

1828 Logan Co Tax List – recorded 489 total acres in Logan Co – I have no other detail about the acreage. 10 slaves, 3 horses. The number of slaves & horses that this John Proctor pays tax on also suggests this is likely the same John previously living on the Whipporwill.

1829 Logan Co Tax List – John Proctor had 540 acres on Woolsey Creek – very different part of the county from Little Whipporwill and runs into the Red River. 11 slaves, 3 horses. Children ages 4-14 were counted and he had five. Certainly some of the children of John who married Eleanor and then Elizabeth would fall into this age range – and there may well be unidentified children.

Very likely this John is in the 1830 Logan Co Census - but his family it doesn't fit all that well. He does appear to have neighbors in the area of Red River. He was listed near his son-in-law Harvey Trimble, a William Trimble - probably Harvey's father, and the widow Margaret Proctor, believed to be the widow of his son Charles. Also Fielding Gateway whose property was adjacent a tract John bought in October of 1830. These connections make a good case that this is the properly identified John Proctor in this census:
John Proctor, p.43 (although Ancestry lists this as being "Russellville" - it was not, the previous page notes the end of Russellville and the beginning of just Logan County)
2m -5 (Hezekiah & ???), 1m 5-10 (Robert), 1m 10-15 (Samuel), 1m 15-20 (unk or Samuel and the young male is unk), 1m age 40-50 (b. bet 1780-1790 and John was born 1784)
1f -5 (Nancy), 2f 10-15 (Anna, maybe Matilda depending on whether she was married or not), 1f age 40-50 (Elizabeth who is with John in 1850, if they were married by 1830, should have been younger, age 30-40 since she was born, 1793) 10 slaves.

1830 Tax list from Logan County, KY Census & Tax Lists, 1820 & 1830, by Don Simmons & Laura Willis, 1995:

One of the consistent elements of this family - they are stated in the censuses, or buried in cemeteries, in or around Adairville. Adairville is almost on the Tennessee state line, due south of Russellville, on the southern branch of the Red River and not far from the Simpson County line. The Gasper River (Black Lick Fork) where many of the other Proctors, i. e. Thomas & family, and sons of Hezekiah, lived, is east and north of Russellville, near Auburn and the Warren County line - some 20+ miles as the crow flies from Adairville, but travel routes would have been from Adairville to Russellville and then East to the Auburn area, a bit farther. Benjamin Proctor lived on the Little Whipporwill, which is north of Adairville, and runs into the northern fork of the Red River.
