Thomas Keith Lendrum II
M, #132, b. 1760, d. 13 March 1812
| MARRIAGE* | | Thomas Keith Lendrum II married Margaret Stoake Buckner, daughter of John Buckner and Elizabeth Washington. |
| Birth* | 1760 | He was born in 1760 at Port Royal, Caroline Co., VA, Scotland. |
| | He was the son of Parson Thomas Landrum and Nelly (?) |
| Death* | 13 March 1812 | He died on 13 March 1812 at Westmoreland County, VA, One record, Caroline County Chanery Suits says: He died in testate. However, this may be another Thomas as there is a will for the Surgeon's Mate in the "Half Pay File." |
| Biography* | | He served as a Surgeon's Mate on board the "Tempest" in Virginia State Navy. "History of Caroline Co., VA" p. 451 says he was a young Port Royal physician at the outbreak of the Revolution. He joined the Continental Navy and was Surgeon's Mate on both the "Tartar" and the "Tempest" two continental privateers. He practiced in Port Royal until 1812.
Thomas Lendrum Jr. was the Physician of Port Royal, Va. and was probably born sometime between 1750 and 1758. During the war of Revolution, he served with the Virginia State Navy. Evidence of this is contained in the rather lengthy "half-pay" file which rests in the National Archives. The evidence that this particular Thomas Lendrum is the direct ancestor of Lillie Hudson Lendrum is contained in this file and proved by several letters which were found in the attic of "Beechwood", in So. Ft. Mitchell, Ky. (It is interesting to note that there were at least two Thomas Lendrums, and possibly there were even three. The several D.A.R. papers filed claiming descent from the revolutionary soldiers are as a rule incorrect. Even those of Lillie Hudson Lendrum was entirely erroneous! Since she claimed descent from a man, Warren T. Lendrum who was actually her uncle. It is easy to see how she could have made this error, since, evidently, her grandfather, Thomas Lendrum, the surgeon's name was middle aged when her father, John B. Lendrum was born. Thomas Lendrum II served as surgeon's mate on board the ship "Tempest" during the Revolutionary War. There are several proofs of this service:
1. December 30, 1779 he was allowed 18" of brown sugar. September 9, 1779 he received coffee and sugar. December 10, 1779 he received sugar coffee and tea. 2. During his time of service he was acquainted with several men who in later years made affidavits to this fact: a. In 1834 John Cannady of Fauquier Co., Va. states that Thomas Landrum was a surgeon's mate who stayed with the "Tempest" until it was abandoned by the crew when the enemy took command of the River (James) and finally the vessel. Thomas had been on board at least two years and ten months prior to the capture of the "Tempest". b. In 1834 Charles Hayden of King George Co., Va. stated that he knew Thomas Landrum and also the fact that he died in Westmoreland County, Va., and was the son of Parson Landrum of King George Co. Both Thomas Landrum and Higdon grew up in the same area. Thomas Landrum married after the war and lived in Leedstown in Westmoreland Co., Va. c. William Stoke Jett (note that Thomas Lendrum's wife was named Margaret Stoake.) likewise made an affidavit in which he states that he was acquainted with Thomas Landrum, the son of Parson Lendrum of King Geo. Co., Va. He too says that after his marriage Thomas resided in Port Royal, Caroline Co. and practiced medicine. Later he moved to Westmoreland Co. where Jett was living. William Jett recalls the anecdote wherein Landrum was called upon to perform an amputation, his first, while in service on board the "Tempest". Following the Revolutionary War, Thomas married Margaret Stoake. It would be reasonable to assume that the wedding took place sometime between 1788 and 1790. If this date, and his presumed birthday are correct, then Thomas was probably in his mid thirties when he married. (Family stories indicate that Thomas Lendrum's wife was named Buckner but his will clearly calls her Margaret Stoake.) In fact, this name has persisted in the family up until the early 1900's, but to date no record is found of a connection with the Buckners. Perhaps the name belonged to either Margaret or Thomas' mother. In January of 1811, Thomas Lendrum (note that the spelling has now changed to Lendrum - the way it has persisted until the present.) wrote a will leaving to Margaret Stoke Lendrum, his property for the maintenance of his children. His youngest child, John B. (presumed Buckner) Lendrum was seven years old, at the time. His oldest daughter, Elizabeth Washington Lendrum, however, was married to Dr. Christopher Collins. Dr. Collins was named executor of the will. Thomas' wife, Mary, was to be the administrator. Evidently Margaret relinquished the right to administrator to Christopher Collins. When Collins died, his wife Elizabeth was granted letters of Administration by the Court, even though Margaret Lendrum was still alive. (Thomas Lendrum died July 12, 1811) Starting about 1834, Elizabeth Lendrum Collins, as a representative for the heirs, her brothers and sisters (presumably her mother now dead), started proceedings to secure the pension due as a result of the Act of Congress of July 5, 1832, granting pension rights to veterans or survivors or their heirs. Elizabeth had quite a job ahead of her and evidently it became necessary for her to enlist the aid of her congressman, J. Taliaferro, in an attempt to collect Thomas Lendrum's pension. Apparently there was some dispute as to when Thomas Lendrum actually terminated service, the Va. State Navy having been reduced in number prior to the close of the war. It was initially presumed that Thomas was relieved of duty at this time ________. However, it soon became apparent that two ships were retained in service past the date of reduction, these being the "Tempest" and the "Tattler". There are three affidavits in Thomas Lendrum's "half-pay" file which state that he was on board the "Tempest" as Surgeon's Mate. That being the case, J. Taliaferro was able to use the following facts from a similar case to cause the pension office to grant a pension, which allowed for Lendrum's service from the date of the ship's capture. Leigh's Reports - Vol. 1, p 517: The Captain of the Tempest was named Markham and he was made prisoner when his ship was captured in Hampton Rhodes. His heirs filed suit in the Virginia Court of Appeals for half-pay and won. Taliaferro requested that the war department grant the same right to Thomas Lendrum, since it was proved that he, too, served on the vessel until it's capture and so should be entitled to the same rights as the captain. In May of 1835, Lucy E. Lendrum, the daughter of Thomas, and sister of Elizabeth, acted as attorney-in-fact for Harriet E. Lendrum, Thomas W. Lendrum, John B. Lendrum and Lucy E. Lendrum in granting power of attorney to the estate administrator, Mrs. Elizabeth W. Collins. In fact the estate did succeed and on May 9, 1838, received a total of $2529.74 for 27 years and 264 days half-pay pension based on the rate of $91.25 per year. Presumably, the heirs used their hard earned pension to support themselves, and evidently it was a greatly needed pension for their support, for Mr. Taliaferro, in an effort to speed up the proceedings, refers to the needy, unmarried heirs. One wonders what part John B. Lendrum, who was at this time, far away in Kentucky, received. It is possible that he and his brother, Warren T. Lendrum, forfeited their rights to the pension in favor to their widowed and unmarried sisters. Having won the initial battle for the "half-pay" pension, and presumably having exhausted the funds received, Elizabeth Collins again became active in the pension care in 1845. She reopened the issue by requesting that half-pay be allowed from Nov. 30, 1781, the date on which Thomas Lendrum terminated service (?) until April 22, 1783, the date on which the original pension had commenced. She was successful, as shown by a letter dated Sept. 17, 1845, from the Pension Office in Washington which allowed the heirs an additional 91.25 per year for the extra 18 months, a total of $127.00. The matter was still of interest to someone in 1854, for one Thomas C. Peek, of Hampton, Elizabeth County, Va. whose relationship is yet unknown, wrote to the Pension Office in Washington asking how much half-pay had been allowed for Thomas Lendrum, when and to whom it had been allowed. All of these proceedings had a two-fold effect. Initially, they granted a living to a widow and her two maiden sisters. (Harriet B. Lendrum was listed as head of the household in 1850 in Va. census and family letters indicate that she lived with Elizabeth, her sister.) The long range effect was to bring to the present the vital information necessary to establish which of the two, and possibly three, Thomas Lendrums of Virginia was the real ancestor of Lillie Hudson Lendrum. Lillie had filed D.A.R. papers on _________, stating that her descent from one Thomas Lendrum of Virginia. The papers contained only that grain of truth. Lillie was in error in most other respects, and it took the combination of the Virginia State Navy half-pay file and some personal letters found in the attic at "Beechwood" to establish the true identity of Thomas Lendrum, Surgeon's Mate. |
| APPRENTI* | 1770 | He was apprentriced in 1770 at Caroline, VA; P. 440 of "Colonial Caroline" states 1770 "Thomas Landrum - a child who appears to be in the care of nobody is ordered bound" since we know father had died by now its possible that mother was also dead. |
| Will* | 10 January 1811 | He left a will on 10 January 1811 at VA I Thomas Lendrum of Westmoreland County being very sickly and infirm, and not knowing when my desolution may take place, make and ordain this my last will and testament viz. after my just debts are paid I give to my beloved wife Margaret Stoake Lendrum, the whole of my property real and personal during her natural life for the better support of herself and for the maintenance and education and support of our children. At her death it is my will that the whole of the personal Estate may be equally divided between the surviving children and the Land to be sold for two annual payments and to be divided as aforesaid between the surviving children viz. the money arising from the sale of the land, I hereby give and confirm to Dr. Collins, Barbary and her increase forever. I constitute and appoint Dr. Christopher Collins executor and my wife Margaret Stoake (another spelling of this is Storke) Lendrum executrix of this my last will and testament as witness my hand this 10th day of January 1811. |
