Pulaski County Dollarhides
by LaVelda Faull,
Cornelius Dollarhide is not in my line, but while trying to find
out about my ancestor Francis
Dollarhide IV, I researched Cornelius and Thomas Dollarhide who lived
in Pulaski Co., KY. Pulaski County is not far from where I live, so I went
there to see what I could find. I thought I would post some of my findings
to this forum to help others. --LaVelda

Cornelius Dollarhide Sr. settled in Pulaski Co., KY in 1804
(obtained from tax lists) and would have been born ca 1762. He appears on the
1804 Tax List as "Cornelius Dolehead". Cornelius is recorded in tax lists until
1809 when he died. His will is recorded in Book 1 p 60-61. His wife, Jane, died
in 1810(?) as her inventory and assessment is recorded (Bk 1 p 61). Cornelius
mentions wife Jane, son Larkin and three "youngest daughters",
Nancy, Jane and Feby. So he obviously had more children than those
mentioned. Executor was Thomas Dollarhide and William Owens(?). It
mentions the "hole of my estate during her (Jane's) life or widowhood and at her
death or marriage the land I now live on I gove to my son Larkin
Dollarhide and all other property to be equally divided between my three
youngest daughters.." Witnesses were John B. Lea and Thomas (his mark)
Roy. The will was dated 19 Feb 1809. It was probated 22 Jan 1810 and proved
by the oath of Thomas Roy a subscribing witness thereto.
I have assumed that Jane, his wife, died in 1810, but the more I look
at the record, I almost believe that the record that I found pertains to the
estate of her husband and not to her. It was found on the following page (from
her husband's will) and was dated 10 March 1810;
"Mr. Edward Prather, Andrew ___(cut off), William Bustor
(Burton?), and Thomas Paschal hath met at the house of Jane
Dollarhide to order to appraise her estate & C (to wit) (cut off)....1
mare and colt...6 head of cattle..17 head of hogs...8 head of sheep;...4
geese...(the rest of the inventory was cut off at the bottom of the age. There
may have been further inventory on the next page which I did not get copied).
From what I could ascertain from the records, Cornelius Sr. had at
least:
- Cornelius Dollarhide Jr.
- Thomas Dollarhide
- James Dollarhide
- John(?) Dollarhide
- Larkin Dollarhide
- Nancy Dollarhide
- Jane Dollarhide
- Feby Dollarhide
- Briefly, here is how the Pulaski Co., Ky tax lists were recorded:
- 1804 Cornelius Dolehead
- 1805-1806 John Dolarhide; Cornelius Dollarhide
- 1807 Thomas Dollarhide; Cornelius Dollarhide; John Dollarhide
- 1808 Cornelius Dollarhide; Thomas Dollarhide; John Dollarhide; Cornelius
Dollarhide; John Dollarhide
- 1809 Thomas Dollarhide; Cornelius Dollarhide; John Dollarhide
- 1810 James Dollarhide; Jane Dollarhide; John Dollarhide; Thomas Dollarhide
- 1812 Jane Dollarhide; Thomas Dollarhide
- 1813 Thomas Dollarhide; James Dollarhide
- 1814-1817 Thomas Dollarhide
- 1818 James Dollarhide; Thomas Dollarhide
- 1819-1823 Larkin Dollarhide; Thomas Dollarhide
- 1824 Thomas Dollarhide heirs
- 1827 Rebecca Dollarhide
- 1828-29 No Dollarhides
Cornelius Dollarhide Jr.
appears to have been in Pulaski Co., KY by 1806 when a survey of land was
recorded on Pitmans Creek. His name was recorded as Cornelius Jr. He appears to
have left the area by 1809. I have wondered if the Cornelius who died in 1809
was actually Jr. and not Sr. However, in 1808, there were two Cornelius on the
tax list which leads me to believe otherwise.
Thomas Dollarhide was born ca 1775-80. He settled in Pulaski Co., Ky
by 1807. He married Rebecca ___. He was a Senator from Pulaski Co., to
the Kentucky legislature and died in 1821 in Frankfurt, KY while at the
assembly. His inventory and account was recorded in 1822 and in 1829 (Bk 2 p 117
and 393) in Pulaski County. A settlement 2was made in 1829 (Bk 3 p 182-85). His
wife, Rebecca, died in 1828. An inventory was made in Pulaski Co (Bk 2 p 364).
Frances "Frankey" Dollarhide was born in 1782 in NC and married
John Bratcher Lea in Caswell County, NC on 24 Nov 1802; She died 17 Feb
1852 in Pulaski Co., KY, age 70. Ezekiel Dollarhide was listed as her
father according to her
death record.
As I mentioned in my posting above, I am not certain that the Cornelius
Dollarhide who died in 1809 was Sr. or Jr. However a deed mentions Cornelius
Dollarhide and wife NANCY, indicating that there were two Cornelius' there.
I also do not know if John was a son as he was listed as "John Jr" in one of the
land surveys below.
- Surveys, Pulaski Co., KY
- Bk 1 p 76, 15 March 1806 Survey for CORNELIUS DOLLARHIDE, JUNIOR.

It would appear that
these Dollarhides came from Caswell Co., NC. The following marriages may apply:
- Cornelius Dollerhide married Nancy Malone on 30 July 1796 in
Person Co., NC.
- Frankey Dollarhide married John Bratcher Lea on 24 Nov 1802
in Caswell co., NC
- John Dollerhide married Nancy Chittington 3 Nov 1784 in
Caswell co., NC.
Here are some Pulaski Co., KY Dollarhide
marriages that I was not able to fit into the family. They may have been
children of Cornelius or John Jr.??
- Betsy Dollerhide married ___Cox in 1811.
- Rachel Dollarhide married Jonathan Smith 4 Jan 1809
- Sally Dollarhide married David Smith on 22 July 1810 or
1811(?)
- Nancy Dollarhide married Archer Nevil on 22 Aug 1821.
- Rebecca Dollarhide married Christopher C. Hancock on 17 Dec
1839.
- The following are some deeds that I found in Pulaski Co., Kentucky (silly
me did not write down the references (deed books and pages - I don't know
why):
- 30 Jan 1812 Robert Mims of Goochland Co., VA to Thomas
Dollerhide of Pulaski Co., KY, $300, 90 acres on Pitman's Creek (waters of
Cumberland River), part of a military survey of 1000 acres granted to
Rawleigh Colston by patent in 1786, on Rocky Branch...line between
Mim's and Dollarhide.. The next month on 7 Feb 1812, Thomas Dollarhide
sold 162 acres to Andrew Campbell on Pitman's Creek for $450, this was
the same land he had received above. This deed was witnessed by Henry L.
Mills and Will. Levine Junior.
- On 13 Jan 1812 Cornelius Dollerhide of Pulaski and NANCY his
wife sold 190 acres to Jonathan Bishop for $800. This land was on
Sinking Creek. The deed mentions John Caldwell's east line and Aaron
Dosses(?) corner.
The same John Caldwell mentioned above,
later of Wayne Co., KY, appointed Thomas Dollerhide power of attorney to
assign Banks and Snyder a certificate of Survey No. 323 for 200 acres.
This document was witnessed by John David(?) and Mary Caldwell and
was made in 1815.
Polly Dunn of Pulaski Co., KY, widow of Ezekiel L. Dunn, also
appointed Thomas Dollerhide as her attorney to collect and receive all
monies due her and her children from the U.S. for services rendered in the War
of 1812 by said Ezekiel L. Dunnm who died in said service in 1814. This
was dated 1816.
On 2 Dec 1818, Thomas Dollerhide of Pulaski Co., KY bound himself unto
John B. Lea in the amount of $2000 which payment was to be made himself
or his heirs. The condition of this obligation was such that if the above
Thomas Dollarhide made a good and lawful title to a certain tract or
parcel of land on Pitman's Creek containing 150 acres on which both Dollarhide
and Lea "now live" entered and surveyed in the name of Michael Kuney, the
obligation was to be made void. This was made in the presence of Thomas
Paschal.
After Thomas Dollarhide's death, his heirs deeded the above land to
John B. Lea for $1.00 on 17 Nov 1832. This deed supposedly lists all of
Thomas' heirs.
In 1814, James Dollerhide was mentioned in the Pulaski Co. Election
Returns as was Thomas Dollerhide in 1816 and 1819. Thomas
Dollarhide was elected Senator to the Kentucky Legislature.
Thomas Dollerhide enlisted in the 95th Regiment formed Feb 1815. He
was Major of the Second Battalion. Captain Thomas Dollerhide of
Dollerhide's Kentucky Battalion of Mounted Volunteers enlisted Sept. 1812. His
Sergent was Samuel Hays.
According to the 1820 Pulaski Co., KY Census, Thomas Dollerhide had
three male slaves (1 under 14, 1 age 14-26, and one age 26-45). From his estate
inventory in 1822, he had a female slave named Vilet and three male
slaves named David, Hector, Caroline and Floyd.
Col. Thomas Dollerhide, senator from Pulaski Co., KY died at
Frankfort, Kentucky in November 1821 according to a newspaper article in the
Kentucky Gazette.
- A settlement for Thomas Dollarhide was made in 1829 (Bk 3 p
182-85), and inventory and account was recorded in 1822 and in 1829 (Bk 2 p
117 and p 393) and an Inventory and Assessment for Rebecca Dollerhide
was recorded in 1828 (Bk 2 p 364).
- I have a copy of these. The Appraisal of the Estate dated 15 Feb 1822 is
quite long. Some of the things mentioned are: woman's sadle and bridle; one
rifle gun and shot bag; Five Journals and Four Acts of the Legislature of
Kentucky; three beds; one side arms and sheath; pair saddle bags; one chest;

appraised by: John Jasper, Isaac Hays and Samuel Hays.
- It would appear from this inventory that Thomas was well to do and lived
well. This inventory was returned 4th March 1822 in Somerset, Pulaski Co., Ky
County Court.
- In 1828, John Cowan, Samuel Hays and Charles Hays again
appraised Thomas Dollerhide's inventory and estate (WB 2 p 393-5). The

Possibly Cornelius and Francis IV were brothers???? --LaVelda
