  Generation No. 1
  1. Jacob4 Faubion (Jacob3, Jacob2, Hans Joseph1) was born Abt. 1785 in Fauquier County, Virginia, and died December 14, 1852 in Linden, Clay County, Missouri. He married Priscilla Boydston Abt. 1804 in Cocke County, Tennessee, daughter of William Boydston and Elizabeth Christian.
  Notes for Jacob Faubion: The following information comes from Margaret R. Bates Internet Files:
  Middle name presumed to be " Cummin" as one of his sons is named Jacob Cummin Faubion Jr.
  Jacob Faubion was a Blacksmith as well as a minister. Born in Fauquier County, Virginia, moved to Cocke County, Tennessee, then later to Clay County, Missouri in 1832, where he was a minister in a church built on land donated by his son-in-law, Napoleon B. Thomas, until his death.
  Died from a kick of an " old gentle mare" he was trying to bridle. Buried in Faubion Chapel Cemetery. Administration of his estate was granted to john F. Broadhurst (his son-in-law, and a Judge) and Jacob C. Faubion. His Farm is in the North part of Kansas City known as East Linden. (Note: the cemetery is in Gladstone; I have not heard "East Linden" No grave was found for Jacob or Priscilla Boydstun in the mid-1980's at Faubion Cemetery.)
  Undated letter from Louise Moss of Cartersville Georgia to "Miss Carr" found in vertical files of Mid-Continent Public Library, North Independence Branch:
  "Jacob Faubion, son of Jacob (1) was born 1782 in Virginia married Priscilla Boylston born in 1785 in Tennessee daughter of William and Elizabeth (Christian) Bolyston, Rev. Sol. Jacob's sister, Dinah Rector Faubion married Nathaniel Bolyston, son of William and Elizabeth Bolyston. Another son, (Thomas) of theirs married an Elizabeth Gregg.
  "Rev. Jacob Faubion moved to Clay County, Missouri, established a Methodist Chapel called Faubion's Chapel. Was also a blacksmith. (See 1850 census Gallatin Township, #523 Clay County, Missouri.) Children: Isaih Dougherty born 1814; William, John, James, Jacob, Washington and Sylpha."
  (She refers to " Pangle's ", " The Faubions " and says the descendants of Jacob Faubion are in records of Clay County. Missouri)
  Cocke County, Tennessee Census: Faubian, Jacob 20001-11011, page 250 (between Diana Faubian and John Faubian)
  Jacob Faubion purchased from William Brown and wife Polly, 160 acres of land in Clay County, Missouri June 29, 1833, described as the Northwest Quarter of Section 24, Township 51, Range 33 in Northwestern Land District of Missouri. He paid $600 for the land.
  When Jacob Faubion died in 1852, Jacob C. Faubion was appointed to administer his father's estate in lieu of the widow (referred to as Drusilla Faubion in probate records), who declined. Ten of his children were still living at that time, and James W. Faubion was deceased. The Property purchased in 1833 was sold April 24, 1854 to Hyram Fuget for $2,500, which was divided among the heirs. (NOTE: SEE PLATTE CO. MISSOURI JAMES W. FAUBION STILL ALIVE 1854 HE BOUGHT LAND WITH BROTHER ISAIAH FAUBION.)
  Two years later, on April 12, 1858, Hiram Fugett sold about 1/2 acre of this land to Joseph Broadhurst, William Faubion, and John Broadhurst Sr., for the purpose of a family burying grand. (burial ground)
  Ruth Walton of Salem, Oregon, supplies further information on the land of Jacob Faubion: " To further trace the transfer of the Faubion land, on Nov. 13 1869, Hiram Fugett having moved to California, sold 80 acres of the farm to William B. Faubion, ( the north half of the NW quarter of Section 24, Twp. 51, Range 33). Less than a month later, December 6, 1869, William B. Faubion and his wife, Marion, sold this land -- about 78 acres -- to A. C. Davidson. William B. and Marion Faubion, on May 23 1870, sold one acre to William Faubion, John Broadhurst, A. L. Darby, Levi M. Gillespie, Jacob Broadhurst and Ephriam Broadhurst, all trustees of the Methodists Episcopal Church South. The remaining part of the land, sometimes called 76 acres, sometimes 78 acres, transferred several more times over ensuing years, eventually becoming incorporated into the village of East linden in Clay County, Missouri, where the Methodist Church and the Faubion Cemetery are now located." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  The following comes from "Faubion and Allied Families" copyright 1982, complied and written by Ann Faubion Armstrong, Bernard H. Faubion, D.D.S., T. P. Hughes, Jr., Marybeth Faubion Rule, and Mary Laverne Faubion::
  JACOB FAUBION was born in Fauquier County, Virginia around 1785, died in Clay County, Missouri on December 14, 1852 and is buried in Faubion Cemetery.* Married in Cocke County, Tennessee around 1804 to Priscilla Boydston, a daughter of William and Elizabeth (Christian) Boydston. * She was born in Cocke County, Tennessee around 1784; died in Clay County, Missouri in July 1853, and is buried in Faubion Cemetery. **
  Jacob has been described as being from ". . . Old Newport, of Huguenot descent." While it has been neither proved nor disproved that he was of Huguenot descent Dianah Rector's family was German, and they lived in Fauquier County, Virginia where Jacob was born. He Came to East Tennessee with his family, and lived in Cocke County, near Old Newport and near what is now Parrottsville, Tennessee.
  He was a blacksmith, as were his father and at least one brother. Jacob was also a well-known Preacher in the area. It is believed that he regularly participated in church gatherings there.
  Jacob and Priscilla had eleven children; apparently none died as infants or children. in 1832 Rev. Jacob moved his entire family (including his son William who was married and had children of his own) to Clay County, Missouri. It is believed that around thirty families came out together - including a number of nephews and other relatives, friends and neighbors. No one has been able to determine why he left Tennessee, but it is certain that he came directly to an area where relatives and friends from Cocke County had already settled. There is no question but that he came seeking better opportunities for himself and his family. ( SEE Section on MIGRATION TO MISSOURI ).
  Upon arrival in Clay County, Missouri Jacob became a farmer. He must have had some money because he was able to purchase land that had been claimed by an earlier settler. After looking around for a while, Jacob decided on a piece of land owned by William Brown. The purchase of the NW1/4 of Section 24, Township 51, Range 33, in Clay County, Missouri was concluded on June 29, 1833 ( Clay County Deed Book K, page 437).
  Faubion Chapel was organized in 1838. The article on Chapel's 100th Anniversary says that Jacob Faubion served as its Pastor until his death in 1852. From the start, Chapel was a significant part of the local community. People came from all around for Services, although there doesn't seem to have been a building for a number of years. Mrs. Claude Allen, Historian of the Faubion Chapel United Methodist Church, says that Napoleon Bonaparte and Sarah ( Faubion ) Thomas sold a tract of land to the Chapel Trustees for Five Dollars on Jan 30, 1850. ( That parcel is now at 72nd and North Highland in Gladstone, Clay County, Missouri.) L. B. Salmans * says the Chapel was built on the farm which adjoined the Rev. Jacob's. ( The current Church building is on land which belonged to Jacob, but it was purchased in 1870.) Rev. Jacob performed a sizable number of marriages in the area and had the reputation of being the " Marryin' Parsons ". The Clay County Marriage Records reveal that he was a Minister of the Gospel. They also show that he could write.
  Faubion Cemetery is located near where the original Chapel stood, and is still available for use. It has always been a family cemetery, and never has been associated with the Church. Charles N. Kimball of Sistersville, West Virginia, a descendant of Dinah Rector*** Faubion and Nathaniel Christian Boydston, determined that Faubion Cemetery is the place where William Boydston ( Priscilla's father) was buried in 1838. It should have been on the corner of Rev. Jacob's farm. It did not become officially a " family burying ground " until William Faubion, John Broadhurst and Joseph Broadhurst bought one - half acre of land from Hiram Fugitt on April 12, 1858 ( Clay County, Missouri Deed Book R, page 235).
  While this is about all we know of Jacob, we know even less about Priscilla. We know she was born on the frontier of Tennessee - before there was a State named Tennessee, and we are told that she walked barefooted all the way when the family moved by ox - wagon to Missouri. We know that they reared children who became God - serving, responsible and respected men and women, each contributing to their communities in very special ways. Jacob, the Preacher, set an example of faith, trust, and courage, and he must have been supported by a caring and loyal wife.
  Jacob Faubion died from the effects of a kick from a gentle old mare he attempted to bridle in the pasture. * While no stone can be located and no record has been found, it is understood that he was buried in Faubion Cemetery. Priscilla probably went to live with Sarah Thomas and her family until she died about six months after Jacob, in July 1853. She is said to have been buried next to him in Faubion Cemetery.
  There was no Will when Jacob died. The Clay County Probate records show that Drusilla ( Druscilla is what it shows! ) refused the right of Administration and John F. Broadhurst ( husband of Zilpha Grey ) and Jacob Cummin Faubion were appointed. There is a list of heirs and some receipts in the file -- but little else. It shows that there was not much money to divide among the heirs so probably the land was sold to settle the estate. ***

  Descendants of Jacob Faubion, whom we believe is a brother of William, and a son of William Faubion who came from Holland in the latter part of the eighteenth century. The name Faubion is spelled the same, and the names of his children are similar to the family of William, leading us to believe that William who came from Holland is the father of all included in this book. We can trace them all back to Cocke County, Tennessee and William the first back to Pennsylvania where the people from Holland first settled.
  Jacob who came from Cocke County, Tennessee to Clay County, Missouri, in an early day, was a farmer, blacksmith and a Methodist Minister. On his farm his congregation erected a church and called it Faubion Chapel, in later years the chapel was found inadequate for the increasing congregation and a new church was built, and it too, is called Faubion Chapel. About the year 1850 Jacob received a kick from an old gentle mare from which he died. _________________________________________________________________ The following information provided by Patt Seitas:
  Jacob Faubion born about 1785 in Faquier County, Virginia. Died December 14, 1852 in Clay County, Missouri. Occupation: preacher, blacksmith. He married Pricilla Boydston, before 1807 in Tennessee. She was born about 1785 in Virginia.
  His Family moved from Tennessee to Clay County, Missouri about 1832, leading a group of about thirty families. When they immigrated, they brought all of their children, from John Wesley (age 24) to George Washinton E. (age 2). Their only married son, William, brought his wife, a three year old daughter and a pair of twins born in February. His wife's brother, Nathaniel Boydston and his wife Mary Faubion also came with their children. it is possible Priscilla's younger sister came with her husband John Sharp. Other families included Thomas and Hopewell, and maybe St. John and Wall. They probably traveled by wagon, first to Knoxville, Tennessee, then on the Tennessee, Ohio & Great Lakes Trail to Louisville, then to St. Louis and up the Missouri to Clay County. By the 1820's there was regular steamship service and people took their wagons, animals, families up river by boat. it is said when they migrated from Tennessee to Missouri, Pricilla walked barefooted the entire way.
  In the 1850's federal census, Gallatin Township, Clay County, Missouri, family number 523 under the name "Forbion" the family was listed as follows; Jacob (65 blacksmith, $1600 real property, born Virginia); Priscilla (age65, born Tennessee).
  Jacob organized the Faubion Methodist Chapel in Clay County, Missouri which was still active in 1895. He was known as the "Marring Parson" because he married so many couples in his community. He eventually moved his family to Jefferson County, Kansas, near Oskaloosa. They were among the pioneering families.
  The Oskaloosa Independent reported on Saturday, January 23, 1864: " A young lad named Gragg, nephew of Jacob Faubion (sic), with whom he is residing, while riding along just this side of Slough Creek on the Leavenworth road, was thrown from his horse-or the horse fell upon him-some days since, injuring him considerable, so that he was senseless for many hours. He is about again now. It is thought he and the boy with him were racing their horses at the time of the accident".
  Jacob Faubion died from a horse kick.

Faubion, born Abt. 1830 in Cocke County, Tennessee; died Unknown in Platte County, Missouri. He married Asenith Spencer September 24, 1848 in Platte County, Missouri. Notes for George Washington K. Faubion: From Faubion and Allied Families, page 575:
  "Uncle Wash" and Senith/Cenith are shown in the 1850 Census in Clay County. By 1860 they were in Newton Township, Barton County, Missouri - with the value of the property shown as $6,400. Whether it was the Civil War or not, they came back to Clay County, Missouri where Wash bought land on 28 December 1865 (Book B, p. 131) and sold land on 26 September 1867 (Book 28, p. 138). They are not shown in Clay County in the 1870 Census, but they probably were there.
  At some point the Spencer children enter the lives of Wash and Senith on a daily basis. On 24 October 1879 Gertie E. Spencer and James L. Donaldson, both of Clay County, were married at the residence of G. W. Faubion, Esq. In 1880 G. W. and Senith/Cenith were in Gallatin Township of Clay County, and living with them were G. W. Spencer and Green Spencer. George Washington Spencer, age 26, a Boarder, is shown as a farmer. Green Spencer, age 17, is shown as a farm hand and hired man. Gertie, G. W., and Green are believed to have been children of Asenith's brother. G. W. K. and Senith had no children of their own.
  (Research on the family of Rev. James W. Faubion, brother of G. W.K., reveals Nathaniel Green, a son of James, lived with the couple for a brief time after his Mother died, but "ran away" because "Aunt Cenith" was harsh with him.) ed
  It is interesting to note that G. W. K. Spencer sole 40 acres of land on 7 January 1882, and by that time he had a wife, Mattie B.
  The Clay County Probate Court has an Estate Packet with a document declaring George W. K. Faubion to be a person of unsound mind, and it names administrator or "Guardians" for the Estate. It is dated 30 August 1885. The administrators took an inventory which showed that he had horses, farm equipment, wagon, etc., but there was no bed or household goods listed. Probably the bed and household goods were considered "dower rights" and belonged to Senith. There was no land mentioned, but there were several debts recorded.
  The Missouri State Hospital in St. Joseph, Missouri found a record that he was admitted there, but the date was not recorded. Other records have been destroyed in a fire, and there is nothing else currently available to indicate diagnosis, treatment, or disposition. He probably died in the Institution, but no one knows when he died or where he was buried.
  The 1900 Census shows Asenith Faubion living with George Washington Spencer and his family in Barton County, Missouri.

  2. John Wesley5 Faubion (Jacob4, Jacob3, Jacob2, Hans Joseph1) was born Abt. 1806 in Cocke County, Tennessee, and died Bet. 1853 - 1854 in Platte County, Missouri. He married Mary Adkins December 14, 1838 in Clay County, Missouri.
  Notes for John Wesley Faubion: From Faubion and Allied Families, page 486:
  John Wesley was a teacher. Probably as soon as Platte County land was available for settlement John claimed land there. The History of Clay and Platte County Missouri says that it was commonly understood that each man was entitled to 160 acres, and once a man was duly located no subsequent claim was permitted to interfere. In 1838 the law was passed whereby settlers could make regular pre-emptions on their claims, and in 1839 the Government started surveying. The land office in Plattsburg (Clinton County) was not established until 1844, and it was not until then that the settlers were able to make proofs and complete their entries. ( pages 558-559) In 1840 John Wesley with a wife and daughter under age five are shown in Platte County.
  The Platte County Deed Records show that John bought land in Platte County on May 15, 1848 (Book G, page 344) and that he sold land on January 10, 1850 (Book G, page78). In 1849 Mary Forbian is listed among the original members of the Parkville Methodist Episcopal Church South. (page 813) In the 1850 census John is shown as a Justice of the Peace, that they were living in Parkville, and that he had a total property valued at $500.
  Exactly when John died or where he is buried has not been determine. The Probate Court in Platte County does not have an Estate Packet for him. He is not shown in the Platte County Cemetery Records which were published in 1979. While there is no record of him being buried in Faubion Cemetery in Clay County, it is possible that he was buried there.
  Mrs. Mary Faubion bought some Platte County land on April 27, 1855 (Book L, page 207). Then about the first of December, 1860 she exchanged the deed to some property for One Dollar and some notes that were due with Nathaniel Christian Boydston, husband of John's sister, Dianah, who was living in Jackson County, Kansas at the time (Book Q, page 71). On March 19, 1864 Mary sold some lots in town to Nancy Mitchell for $200 (Book S, page 58).
  In 1870 the Census shows that Mary was still the Head of the Household and living in Pettis Township with her two sons. Her personal property value was shown as $400 and she had no real estate.

  3. William Henry5 Faubion (Jacob4, Jacob3, Jacob2, Hans Joseph1) was born December 13, 1808 in Cocke County, Tennessee, and died February 13, 1895 in Johnson County, Kansas. He married (1) Sylvania Holland Abt. 1826 in Tennessee. He married (2) Argin Capps June 25, 1885 in Clay County, Missouri.
  Notes for William Henry Faubion: Ruth Waton's notes say William and Sylvania Holland Faubion are buried at Faubion Cemetery in Gladstone, Missouri, but when I (Margaret R. Bates) surveyed the cemetery in about 1984, I did not find their markers. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From Faubion and Allied Families, page 488: William was the only child of Jacob who was married in Tennessee. If it is true that they were married in 1826, then William was about seventeen years of age and Sylvania was about thirty-two. (Clay County Census confirm an age difference - 1850 says he was 42 and she was 55; 1860 census says he was 53 and she was 60.) They had a daughter born in 1829, and then a set of twins born in February of 1832. They were among the families that came out with Jacob to Clay County, Missouri in 1832. The youngest of their four children was born in Clay County in 1835.
  William was a Preacher, but he was also a farmer. Exactly which farm was his has not been determined. John Wesley, Sr. was married in March of 1851. William bought land from Henry Adams on May 5, 1851 (Deed Book M, page 80.) and on June 18, 1851 William and Sylvania granted to John Wesley . . . . for and in consideration of the affection they entertain for the party of the second part, (their son), "The NW1/4 of Section 15, Township 51, Range 33 containing 111 acres. Both William and Sylvania signed this document with an X mark. (Deed in possession of M. E. Rule., and in Deed Book N, page 337.) Then on February 3, 1860, Marion, their other son, bought land from William (Deed Book T, page 239.)
  Rev. William may well have been a Lay Preacher because his name is not among those who performed marriages in Clay County, and this may have been due to the fact that he could not write. His name, however, is definitely associated with Faubion Chapel Methodist Episcopal Church, South. His obituary says that the church (formerly called Chapel or The Chapel) was named in his honor. It also says that as long as William had a home of his own his house was the preacher's home. Faubion Chapel was organized in 1838, but there does not appear to have been a building until 1850, William was one of the Trustees. He was also a Trustee when the next piece of land was purchased from William B. and Mariam (Broadhurst) Faubion in 1870.
  The Faubion Cemetery was located on the corner of Jacob's farm, not far from where the first Chapel was built. After the death of Jacob, William joined with John Broadhurst and Joseph Broadhurst to purchase the one-half acre of land from Hiram Fugitt on April 12, 1858 to insure that it would continue to be the "family burying ground" (Clay County Deed Book R, page 235.) Sylvania died in 1861 and was buried there.
  In the August 25, 1862 issue of the Liberty Tribune William is listed among those who gave their Loyalty Oath and Bond in Liberty. What happen to William between 1861 and 1885 is unknown. He did remain in Clay County although he is not shown in the 1870 census. The letter from Marion's son, dated 1875, is addressed to both William and John Wesley Faubion, Barry, Clay County, Missouri, so he must have lived close-by.
  Then in 1885 it appears that William married a second time. The Clay County Marriage Records show that William Faubion and Argin Adams were married at the home of Mrs. Adams by J. J. Thompson, J. P. on June 25, 1895. (Book F, page 309). The Liberty Tribune issue dated July 3, 1885 says that William Faubion was age seventy and Argin Adams was age sixty-five. (William would have been 76, but he is the only William Faubion in that area who would have been about that age.) It seems that Argin Capps was the widow of Archibald Adams who died in November 1884. The Clay County probate Records for Argin Faubion (Box 117, CF 26-69) show that she died in 1891 and that William Faubion refused the right of Administration. The file contains an order for the tombstone of Argin, wife of William Faubion to be set in Little Shoal Cemetery in Clay County, Missouri. Elizabeth Prather Ellsberry in Clay County, Missouri, Cemetery Records, Volume 1, page 58 shows that Argin Adams was buried next to Archibald Adams in Little Shoal Cemetery. Among the papers of J. W. Faubion was a request by William Faubion for a sum over and above the normal and expected expenses of the support of the household. It was a claim against the Estate of Argin Faubion, and the X mark was witnessed by William's grandson, J. W. Faubion, Jr. This request, if submitted, apparently was refused by the administrator of Argin's estate. William received nothing from the Estate. Something is/was wrong because there is no mention of Argin as a wife of William in any of his obituaries.
  About 1892 William went to Johnson County, Kansas to live with his daughter, Elizabeth Jane and her husband, Rev Alfred Spencer Broadhurst. The obituary says that he was deaf, but still enjoyed reading the newspaper from Clay County. William died there on February 13, 1895. His funeral service, held at Faubion Chapel, was preached by L. B. Madison. William was laid to rest beside Sylvania in Faubion Cemetery, Clay County, Missouri. The obituary says that he left 77 descendants - 3 children, 27 grandchildren, 43 great grandchildren and 4 great great grandchildren.

  4. Sarah5 Faubion (Jacob4, Jacob3, Jacob2, Hans Joseph1) was born October 24, 1812 in Cocke County, Tennessee, and died August 30, 1879 in Clay County, Missouri. She married Napoleon Bonaparte Thomas September 18, 1834 in Clay County, Missouri.
  Notes for Sarah Faubion: From Faubion and Allied Families, page 509:
  Sarah came to Clay County with her parents in 1832. N. B. is believed to have come from Cocke County, Tennessee, and Salmans says that he came by horseback in 1832. It is possible that he was with the group that came out with Rev. Jacob Faubion. Obviously he was in Clay County and knew the family well because he was a witness when William Boydston wrote his last Will and Testament dated March 15, 1834. His obituary says that he resided on the farm where he died for forty-one years which would indicate that he may have 'entered', but probably purchased the farm that was immediately to the east of Rev. Jacob's farm in 1833.
  Napoleon Bonaparte Thomas, and Sarah, his wife, sold the land for the first Faubion Chapel building to the Church Trustees on January 30, 1850 for Five Dollars. Little else is known of them because they are not included in the Clay and Platte County, Missouri History, 1885, and current family researchers have not picked them up in the census, marriage and land records. Also Estate records in Clay County have not been checked.
  it is known that Napoleon B. and Sarah remained in the Faubion Chapel neighborhood, near Barry in Clay County, Missouri, and some of the members of their family were still in the Linden Area as late as the 1950s. Sarah and Napoleon had eight children. Salmans says that all but one was buried in Faubion Cemetery, but actually only six were buried there - one was still living in Barton County, Missouri in 1936.

  Notes for Napoleon Bonaparte Thomas: Owned an adjoining farm of father-in-law, Jacob Faubion in Clay County: Gave a piece of ground there on which was built a church for which Jacob Faubion served as Pastor until his death. The Thomas family migrated to Missouri from Tennessee with the Faubion family. It is said that Napoleon rode on Horseback.

  Children of Sarah Faubion and Napoleon Thomas are: 22 i. Isaac Ellis6 Thomas, born June 20, 1835 in Clay County, Missouri; died May 27, 1914 in Clay County, Missouri. He married Burlie Owens Smith September 16, 1876. Notes for Isaac Ellis Thomas: Isaac Thomas is buried at Faubion Cemetery in Gladstone, Missouri. On his headstone is also engraved Burlie O. Thomas, 1871-1953. This would seem too young for a wife, but could be either a wife or a daughter. I have listed her as a daughter until better information comes along.
  On page 509 of Faubion and Allied Familes, Burlie Owens (Smith) Thomas is said to be Isaac's wife and this would clear up part of this issue, but it also states they were married on September 16, 1876. According to this page and previous information she was born in 1871, and died in 1953 - Something is very wrong here? - - - Because of the new information, I have changed her from his daughter to his wife - But something is not right!!!!!
