Adam Runyon son of Isaac Runyon
Generation No. 1
1. ADAM5 RUNYON (ISAAC4, JOSEPH3 RUNYAN, THOMAS2, VINCENT1 RONGNION) was born May 04, 1755 in Maryland. He married ELIZABETH DAVIS. She was born Abt. 1770, and died Aft. 1870.
Notes for ADAM RUNYON:
Nettie Weaver (nweaver@ijntb.net) has a copy of Adrian Hageman's last Will and Testament dated December 2, 1773 which provides for his two grandsons John Runnion and Adrean Runnion, but does not name Adam Runyon. Based upon that Will and the fact that Adam did not serve in the same military unit during the Revolutionary war as Isaac & John Runyon, she concludes that Adam is not a son of Isaac Runyon. Further, Nettie Weaver speculates that Adam may be a brother of Isaac sence there is only 17 years between their births.
On page 87 of "RUNYON GENEALOGY" by Robert and Amos Runyon 1955 they said "The relationship of John and Adam has never been determined, but a family connection is apparent." They noted that "While Adam was living in Stokes County, John Runyon was living in Wilkes County, North Carolina. Apparently John moved soon after 1790 to Tazewell County, where he is listed in the personal tax rolls. About the time that Adam emigrated to Pigeon Creek, John and his family came to Pond Creek, which is now in Pike County, Kentucky. Pond Creek is not far from Pigeon Creek."
By 1962 Robert Runyon had established in "SUPPLEMENT TO RUNYON GENEALOGY" that John and Adam were brothers, and that Adam Runyon was listed on the tax rolls of Tazewell County, Virginia for the years 1806 and 1811. On page 200, Robert reported that Adam Runyon's pension application No. R 9082, Scioto County, Ohio dated August 5, 1836 contained the following information...
"Adam Runyon was born May 4, 1755 in Maryland. He came with his parents to Rockbridge County, Virginia perhaps about 1778 or 1779. From there they soon removed to Botetourt County, Virginia. He enlisted in the Virginia Militia and made a tour to North Carolina. His residence was in Botetourt County, Virginia until about 1804 when he removed to Tazewell County. He lived about five or more years in Tazewell County and then he removed to Pigeon Creek, now in Mingo County, West Virginia. He lived on the waters of Pigeon Creek until April 15th or 16th 1835, then went to Scioto County, Ohio to reside."
Adam Runyon made application for a pension in Scioto County, Ohio in 1836. His descendants say that he later returned to Pigeon Creek, where he died and is buried.
