WILLIAM(4) OF NELSON CO., KY 1760-1828

Born in Frederick Co., VA, William was the fourth and last child of William and Ruth Calvert Chenoweth. Like his two older bothers, John and Jonathan, he would serve in the Revolutionary War, but his service was from Kentucky. Though nothing is known of this service, William did receive a land grant in Kentucky for it. In 1779, at the age of nineteen, he had joined a small party of settlers and rafted down the Ohio River to the falls, where Louisville now stands. William's uncle, Richard, had come to Kentucky a one year earlier. Soon after he arrived, on March 5, 1782, William was appointed to administer the estate of David Henton, who had drowned in the Ohio River while taking his family to Kentucky. In the course of this, he met his future wife, the widow Mary 'Polly' Henton, daughter of Jacob Van Meter and Letitia Strode. William and Mary married that same year in Nelson Co., KY. They would remain here and raise eight children, as well as the Henton stepchildren to adulthood. William also became active in the settlement's protection, enrolling in the "Cornstalk" Militia. In 1792 he was elected a Lieutenant. In 1797 he was listed as a Captain and in 1801, a Major.

The family lived near present day Deatsville, in Nelson Co., KY (organized from Jefferson Co. in 1785), where William built a large stone home in 1800 that stood until the 1960's. In 1801 William and his wife Mary were founding members of the Wilson Creek Baptist Church (now known as the New Salem Baptist Church). William also served in the Kentucky Legislature. He died in Nelson County at the age of 68. Mary outlived him by four years, dying at age 76. William's will was proven on May 12, 1828 and mentions his wife Mary and all his living children. Arthur L. Keith, a noted early genealogist, assisted in an early compilation of the descendants of Mary and William as part of a Henton family study. The children of William and Polly divided between Illinois and Texas.
