REF: Marshall's "Desc. Keith & Borden".
BIOGRAPHY: Marshall, Roy T. "Descendants of Nichodemus Keith and Margaret Borden", Eagle Lake, Tx. 1987. EXTRACT: Nichodemus was listed on the tax roll in Knox Co., Tn. in 1799, He was in Bledsoe Co. in 1812. From 'Bledsoe Co., Deed Bk. pg. 176, 14 Nov. 1826' we find that Nichodemus Keith and Margaret his wife, who was one of the heirs of John Burdin (Borden) dec'd., and her sister Anna McWilliams, gave Power of Attorney to William Burdin (Borden), of White Co. Tn., to represent them in the 'John Borden Estate Court Case' in VA.
In 'Bledsoe County, Deed Bk. F, pg.142' we find this indenture made this 24 Dec. 1829, Jesse Oden, Admin. of John Borden Estate, of the County of McNairy, TN. of the one part and Nicodemus Keith of the Co. and State aforesaid of the other part, witnesseth that Jesse Oden for the sum of one hundred and sixty dollars hath sold unto Nicodemus Keith a certain tract of land containing forty acres in the County of White, dated the 24th day of June 1814. Registered in the County of McNairy Tn. Book A, pg 69, on 29 Dec 1829.Bledsoe Co. Deed Bk. F, pg 160: This indenture made this 20 Dec 1830, between Nichodemus Keith of the Co. of McNairy and State of TN. of the one part and Isaac Hicks (his son-in-law) of the Co. of Marion in the state aforsaid of the other part, witnesseth the Nichodemus Keith for the sum of fifty dollars hath sold unto Isaac Hicks a tract of land containing forty acres in Bledsoe Co. on Buffalo Creek of Main Cany Fork occupied by John Borden. Filed: Nov.,1832.
According to family tradition, he came to America early enough to fight in the Revolution under Washington, however, we have not been able to verify this. Again, according to tradition, he settled in Virginia.
From "Genealogy of Virginia Families"' Vol 1, pg. 399, we find the following article: "Benjamin Borden, Shenandoah Valley Pioneer, Notes On His Ancestry And Descendants"' by J.A. Kelly, which states on pg 402, "John Borden (d. 1798) m. Ann Hawkins (?). About 1770 they removed from Frederick County to Bedford County, Virginia, and a few years later to Knox County, Tenn. (John Borden was the son of Benfamin Borden II)(Nine children were listed), the 9th Margaret Borden m. Judge Nichodemus Keith, of Knoxville." If the statement is true, it appears that Judge Nichodemus Keith was living in Knoxville, Tn. when he married Margaret Borden. They were married about the year 1776, (estimated from age of children).
We have not been able to find why Nichodemus was called 'Judge'. We are inclined to think it was a title because 'Judge' was not used in any other record we have found, and neither have we found it used by any of his descendants.
The manuscript, "The Keith Family", a partial review as remembered and reported by George M. Keith, of Abilene, Texas, and John M. Keith, of South Fort Worth, Texas, from the tradition of their father, Captain John J. Keith, son of John 'Birden' Keith, was sent to us by Mrs. E. E. Watson, James Canyon RT, Mayhill, NM 88339. It served as the foundation for additional research from which we, and many others, accumulated and developed the information to compile this book.
Quote from the above manuscript: "Gabriel and Nichodemus Keith, sons of William Keith, were born in Ireland, and came to America at an early day - early enough to join the Revolutionary Army - and fought under Washington, and for every war this country has engaged in since then, their descendants have furnished their full quota of soldiers.
Gabriel settled in New York State, and the only descendant I know of is Mr. George Keith of Socorro, New Mexico, who could probably give an account of his ancestry.

REF: George Braden Roberts, GENEALOGY OF JOSEPH PECK & SOME RELATED FAMILIES; ; State College, PA. 1955; ; Family History Library Book 929.273 P334r, Fiche 6049146; NOTES: Frederick Co. was settled in 1732, when a caravan of Quakers came from Pennsylvania and New Jersey and settled on Opequon Creek, on 100,000 acres granted by Lord Fairfax. Lydia Borden, (Peck's mother) emigrated from Burlington Co. New Jersey. Benjamin Borden and his family were included in the first caravan. Benjamin Peck was born twelve years later. Many of these "Fathers of the Colony" later moved further south for milder winters and because of so many cabin squatters through 1760-1780's. Benjamin Peck lived, after marriage, in Sharpsburg, Maryland from 1762-1772, then in New Mecklenburg, Virginia until 1778 when they went to Botetourt (later called Craig Co.), Va. where he was located for sometime on Looney's Mill Creek, East of Fincastle. After 1783 he settled on a farm in the present Craig County, situated near the Sinking Creek post office, approximately halfway between New Castle and Newport. His home, a large frame house, was standing unoccupied in 1928, and later destroyed by fire. He and his wife and some of their descendants were buried in the family cemetery on the farm, now known as the Miller cemetery. Only the name Benjamin is still legible on his gravestone. From Jan. 11, 1781 to Jan. 11, 1785, he was a road surveyor. This service is accepted as qualifying his female descendants for admission to the DAR. He also served as a juror in 1783. His will, dated Dec. 27, 1820, was probated in Giles County, VA. in May 1827, some three years after his death (Will Book -- page 436). Source lists 10 children, over 51 descendants are listed. Roberts gives an extensive history of one son, Joseph who was married to Margaret (Carper).
