Samuel Martin Draper
Samuel (William F., Martin, Solomon Jr., Solomon Sr., Thomas) was born 26 Oct 1846 in Henry County, Virginia, Samuel married Nancy Leanna Eggleton (sometimes Eggleston) in either Henry County, Virginia, Franklin County, Virginia, or in Lincoln County, West Virginia, in the 1870s after his father William left Griffithsville for Texas around 1869. Nancy, born on 16 Dec 1854 in Henry County, Virginia, was the daughter of Alexander Eggleton and Martha Jane Goode, a younger sister of Samuel?s mother, Mary ?Polly? Goode Draper. The Eggletons comprised a huge and well-known family in Henry and Franklin County.
Samuel may have remained in West Virginia when his father left for Texas in 1869, but not for long. He returned to Henry County almost immediately where he bought land from the family of his future wife in 1873. In fact there is no evidence he ever left Henry County until he sold the land in 1876 and moved to West Virginia, but it is not known where he married Nancy. Samuel is not identified in the 1880 census so it is not known when he moved to West Virginia.
In 1870, Alex and Martha Eggleton are living in Brownsville, Franklin County, with Nancy, 16. In Henry County, Virginia, Samuel M. Draper was deeded land by Patrick Eggleton in 1873. In 1874 Samuel sold some of the land to Patrick?s sons, Alexander and George Eggleton. Patrick was Nancy?s uncle, and Alex and George were cousins. Samuel?s and Nancy?s first daughter, Zora, was born in 1874, but according to descendent Terry Alford, she was born in Griffithsville, West Virginia. In Samuel?s last recorded transaction in Henry County he deeded the last of his land to Benjamin F. Gravely in 1876.
This note about Samuel Draper contains information about Alexander Eggleton and other members of the Eggleton clan.
