4394 In 1769, Lady Grosvenor was discovered in flagrante delicto with the Duke of Cumberland, brother of King George III. Their affair became a national scandal when her husband sued the duke on the grounds of 'criminal conversation' with his wife, and the lovers' correspondence was published in the press as part of the trial reports. The jury awarded the baronet damages of £10,000 pounds in recognition of the damage to his marital property.

Lady Grosvenor prevented the baron from securing a divorce on the grounds of her adultery by gathering evidence of his own extensive sexual misconduct, personally 'going into bawdy houses to search and procure witnesses'. The diarist and artist Joseph Farington dubbed Lord Grosvenor as 'one of the most profligate men of his age, in what relates to women'.

This wealth of evidence meant that the baron could not be granted an annulment, and was obliged to support his wife for the rest of his life. The couple's legal separation in 1771 included yearly maintenance payments of £1200 to Lady Grosvenor.

4395 In 1788, he led his wife and six of his children, along with 21 other settlers to southwestern Pennsylvania, and settled in Rostraver Township, Pennsylvania.

From Jan 1789 to Jun 1789, Shreve accompanied retired Continental Army colonel George Morgan to Spanish Louisiana Territory to survey the western bank of the Mississippi River. Morgan, who was a land developer, received permission from the Spanish Ambassador to the United States, Don Diego de Gardoqui to establish a colony on the Mississippi River at Anse a la Graisse, located in present-day Missouri.

On 3 Jan 1789, the expedition departed from Pittsburgh and traveled along the Ohio and Mississippi River until they reached Anse a la Graisse; a new town was demarcated and named New Madrid by Morgan. On 19 Jun 1789, members of the expedition including Shreve safely returned to Pittsburgh. During the journey, Shreve kept a journal, in which he described geography, environment, and encounters with the Native Americans.

Instead of moving to New Madrid, Shreve decided to lease land in Fayette County, Pennsylvania, from General George Washington. Shreve contracted to buy 1,744 acres of land from Washington but spent several years haggling over payments and prices despite settling on the land. Washington threatened to bring a lawsuit for payment, but no suit was recorded. Washington wrote Shreve in 1798 and 1799, asking for payments but could not bring himself to sue a fellow Continental Army officer. On 21 Dec 1798, Shreve wrote Washington, asking for delay in payments.

4396 In 1891 Hannah was living with and working for James JEBB, a Farmer in Shottle, his brother John JEBB also lived and worked there.

It is assumed that he is the John JEBB that was named as the father of John James JEBB BYARD and on his wedding banns.

It is also assumed that her other illegitimate children were all fathered by John JEBB as they were all born before the 1891 census where she was living  
Family: John JEBB / Hannah BYARD (F21104)

4399 In mid-1784, John explored the territory between the Monongahela and Youghiogheny rivers of northwestern Fayette County, Pennsylvania. During Sep of 1784, John returned to New Jersey where he remained until 1788.

Abigail Ridgway, daughter of Solomon and Mary Burr Ridgway, was born on 4 Jan 1765 in Burlington County. On 9 Sep 1786, John and Abigail were joined in marriage by Quaker ceremony in Burlington County. They would become the parents of nine children.

In 1788, John, Abigail and their infant son Joseph removed to northwestern Fayette County where John "purchased a small farm of one hundred acres" of forested land about 33 miles south of Pittsburgh. Here they lived in a small log cabin that sat close to the Little Redstone Creek as it flowed to the southwest of present-day Perry Township before it merged with the Monongahela River at present-day Fayette City. The Shreve family were members of the nearby Providence Monthly Meeting.

On 31 Jul 1788, the Israel Shreve family, having removed from New Jersey, finally reached their destination in Rostraver Township in southwestern Pennsylvania. Here they resided in a farm homestead that Israel had leased. During fall of 1789, Israel Shreve and his family relocated to a farm homestead at present-day Perryopolis that he had leased from George Washington. John's family and his father's family would reside a few miles apart. After Israel died on 14 Dec 1799, John's family may have cared for Henry Miller Shreve, Israel's son and John's half brother, who was just 14 years old at the time.

John Jr. was born on 15 Nov 1789. Abigail died on 4 Jun 1808. John Jr. died on 23 Mar 1813. Mother and son were interred in the Providence Meeting House Cemetery.

The 1790 U.S. Federal Census lists "John Shreeves” as a resident of Washington Township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania. In 1790, Washington Township included present-day Perry Township. John's farm homestead, sitting where the Little Redstone Creek flowed between the Monongahela River and present-day Perry Township, was about ten miles north of Brownsville, a village on the east bank of the Monongahela River at the mouth of Redstone Creek.

On 17 Nov 1812, The Patriot newspaper reported that John Shreve was elected to the House of Representatives and would serve as a representative for Fayette County.

John Shreve, after clearing his land, made a modest living by farming. However, after shipping flour to foreign port cities, he was able to trade it for other commodities that he ultimately sold at New York City for a substantial profit. In his own words:

"I went three times with flour down the rivers Monongahela, Ohio and Mississippi to New Orleans, and took flour from New Orleans to the West Indies, one time to Havana, in the Island of Cuba; one time to Kingston in the Island of Jamaica. Took sugar from Cuba and rum from Jamaica to New York and paid six thousand seven hundred dollars duty on the sugar and rum."

Interestingly, local port officials made a record in the New Orleans Wharf Register of one unnamed boat with an arrival date of 6 Jun 1815, a fee of "$6", and the Noms des Proprietaires as "Shreve & Brown".

On 25 Jan 1814, The Patriot newspaper reported, "Mr. Shreve presented a petition from the shareholders of the Monongahela Bank of Brownsville, in Fayette County, praying for a charter of incorporation." The charter was granted and the bank would play a significant role in the growth of the economy of Brownsville.

On 31 Oct 1815, The Patriot newspaper reported that John Shreve had been re-elected to the House of Representatives to serve as a representative for Fayette County.

During late-May of 1825, the Marquis de Lafayette visited Brownsville. After noticing John in the large crowd, the Marquis "held out both arms to embrace his old friend."

On 5 Nov 1829, John was granted a certificate of acceptance by Salem Monthly Meeting. Subsequently, he joined six of his children who had removed to the vicinity of Salem in Columbiana County, Ohio.

On 1 Jun 1840, John Shreve was listed as a pensioner for his military service in the Revolutionary War. The record shows that John was a resident in the home of his son, Joseph Shreve. Furthermore, they were both listed as residents of Lexington Township, Stark County, Ohio.

On 24 Feb 1841, the Salem Monthly Meeting of Friends terminated the membership of John Shreve for receiving a "pension for his services as an officer in the American Army in the Revolutionary War".

The 1850 U.S. Federal Census lists John Shreve as a resident of Goshen Township, Mahoning County, Ohio. Interestingly, the census lists John's next-door neighbour as Israel Shreve, who is his son.

4400 In Samuel Slater's brother, John, Will he leaves a sum to his sister-in-law, Martha, which assumes that her husband was dead. Samuel was deceased before 1742, the date of the will

No other brother of John was deceased and all other brothers were named separately in the will

Martha Bennett married Samuel Slater in 1710 which fits with their son, Thomas's birth in 1712

Greasley in Nottingham features several times in the extended Slater family relationships and no other marriage between 'Slater & Martha' is recorded within the surrounding area of Duffield 
BENNETT, Martha (I45050)
