Generation No. 4

 

        9.  Francis4 Sacre (Thomas3 Sacry, Simon2 Sacre, Simon1) was born Abt. 1738 in Virginia, and died Abt. 1785 in King George Co., VA.  He married Sarah ?.  She died Aft. 1815 in King George Co., VA.

 

Notes for Francis Sacre:

     Francis Sacrey may have been born about 1738 or later.  The date is a matter of speculation.  He appears only three times in the records, first in Thomas Sacry's will in 1764 in King George Co., Virginia, second in the 1783 tax list of King George Co., Virginia, and third in the court records of 1784 as having an intestate estate.

      In 1783, Francis Sacrey was taxed on three horses and nine cows.  In 1785, he does not appear but Sarah Sacrey does appear with two horses and eight cows.  The close correlation in the number of cows would indicate that Sarah was in fact the widow of Francis Sacrey.

     Sarah appears in the tax lists for 1786, 1787, 1788, 1789, 1790, and 1792 with no white males over the age of 21.  In 1799, 1800, 1801, and 1802, she reappears with one white male over 21.  In 1803, she again has no white males but John Sacrey appears with one white male.  This is an indication that John was her son by Francis Sacrey.

     Sarah's last appearance is in the 1815 tax list.  There is a Sukey Sacray in the 1810 Census with four females under the age of ten who might be this same Sarah Sacray.

Child of Francis Sacre and Sarah ? is:

+     23               i.       John5 Sacre, born Abt. 1782 in King George Co., Virginia; died Bef. 1820 in King George Co., VA.

 

 

        10.  Thomas4 Sacre (Thomas3 Sacry, Simon2 Sacre, Simon1) was born Abt. 1740 in Virginia, and died Bef. 1782 in King George Co., VA.  He married Ann Griffin April 21, 1760 in King George Co., Virginia1

 

Notes for Thomas Sacre:

     Thomas Sacray is another ephemeral figure.  He appears twice in the records, once in his father's will in 1764, and once when he married in 1760 to Ann Griffin.

     In the 1783 tax list of King George County, Virginia, Ann Sacrey is listed and was taxed on one steed.  She does not appear again on the tax lists.  It is possible that she either died or that she had no property with taxable value.  It is also possible that she remarried.

 

       

Child of Thomas Sacre and Ann Griffin is:

+     24               i.       Thomas5 Sacrey, born Abt. 1768 in King George Co., Virginia.

 

 

        11.  Isaac4 Sacry (James3 Sacre, Simon2, Simon1) was born Abt. 1745 in Virginia, and died Bet. February 26 - April 18, 1808 in Franklin Co., Kentucky.  He married Elizabeth George December 24, 1780 in Caroline Co., Virginia, daughter of Robert George and Mary ?.  She was born March 14, 1761 in Caroline Co., Virginia, and died Aft. 1850 in Hendricks Co., IN.

 

Notes for Isaac Sacry:

     Isaac Sacrey is one of the better documented  of the eighteenth century members of the family.  His widow's pension record for service in the Revolutionary War includes a copy of his marriage information, a copy of the family Bible record for his wife and children, (except the last two) details on his service, and information on his move to Kentucky. Following are a sampling of details from governmental records relating to Isaac Sacrey.

     The one major uncertainty regarding Isaac Sacrey (and his brother James) is whether James Sacrey Sr. of Caroline County, Virginia, is in fact his father.  The appearance of both James Sacrey Sr. and James Sacrey Jr. in Carline County lends credibility to this likelihood.  No single record states that Isaac Sacrey is the son of James Sacrey Sr.

 

From Caroline County, Virginia Court Order Books 1732 to 1787:

     10 June 1784:  Deed John Sacre to Isaac Sacre acknowledged and ordered recorded

     11 Aug 1785:  Isaac Sacrey allowed to keep an Ordinary at his house

     8 Sep 1785:  Isaac Sacrey acknowledged bond for ordinary license.

     11 Sep 1785:  Isaac Sacrey to work on road.

     11 May 1786:  Isaac Sacrey didn't return tax list.

     14 Nov 1786:  Isaac Sacrey gives Security.

 

     Isaac Sacrey appears in the tax lists of Caroline County, Virginia from 1783 to 1789 and from 1791 to 1795.  In most years he owned two horses and two cows.  In 1786 and 1789 he had one slave and in 1788 he had two slaves.

     From Caroline Co., VA land alteration tax books, Isaac Sacre bought 50 acres from John Sacre in 1786 and bought 6.5 acres from Francis Buckner in 1788.  He is listed as owning 56.5 acres in 1789 and 1791 through 1796, when he transferred all his property to William C. Woodford.

        12.  James4 Sacrey (James3 Sacre, Simon2, Simon1) was born Abt. 1750 in Virginia, and died September 16, 1838 in Shelby Co., Kentucky4.  He married (1) Nancy Collins Abt. 1785 in Caroline Co., VA, daughter of John Collins.  She died Abt. 1801 in Franklin Co., Kentucky.  He married (2) Joanna Crutcher January 02, 1801 in Franklin Co., Kentucky5, daughter of Henry Crutcher and Susannah ?.  She was born May 16, 1762 in Virginia6, and died Bet. 1820 - 1830 in Shelby Co., Kentucky7.

 

Notes for James Sacrey:

     James Sacrey served in the Revolutionary War.  Much of what we know about him is from his Pension Application filed in the 1830's.  From this and other documents we have a large amount of data on him and his family.  James Sacrey had two sons who never married and several daughters with a large number of descendants.

     As with his brother Isaac Sacrey, the major uncertainty is whether James Sacrey Sr. is his father.  This is most likely the case, however there are no extant records stating this for certain.  In 1784, James Sacrey (not specified as Senior of Junior) is listed in the tax lists of Caroline Co., Virginia, indicating the possibility that both James Sr. and James Jr. were listed together in the same family.

 

 

     From Caroline County, Virginia tax books, James Sacre bought 117 acres from Jonry Smith in 1785 for 14 pounds 5 shillings and sold the same land to Pleasant Tindle the same year.

        15.  Thomas4 Sacrey (John3, Simon2 Sacre, Simon1) was born Abt. 1763 in Virginia, and died 1807 in Fredericksburg, Spotsylvania Co., Virginia.  He married Patty ?.  She died May 02, 1804 in Fredericksburg, Spotsylvania Co., Virginia.

 

Notes for Thomas Sacrey:

     Thomas first appears in Caroline County, Virginia tax lists in the household of John Sacre as aged over 21.  He appears in the 1788 tax lists as an adult with 2 white males over 21 and one horse.  He appears in the Tax lists of Fredericksburg, VA from 1789 to 1806.

     He is listed five or six times with various stories in Fredericksburg, Virginia newspapers from the early 1790's to 1807, when he died.  From these articles, he apparently ran a school although its type is not known.

     Thomas died in 1807 aged 44 years and his wife died in 1804, according to newspaper transcripts.  He is one of the best possibilities for the father of George and Walker Sacre, who later turned up in Kentucky.  According to family tradition, George was born in Virginia and went to Kentucky at the age of seven.  Walker also appears to have been born in Virginia (1880 Census of son Edmund) and was in Kentucky in roughly the same area as George.  Neither George nor Walker are associated with any other Sacre families in Kentucky, all of whom came earlier.  My theory is that George and Walker were orphans and were taken to Kentucky either by an aunt or older sister about 1809.  No guardianship or other records have been found concerning either George or Walker.

     Again, this remains speculation.

        16.  George4 Sacrey (John3, Simon2 Sacre, Simon1) was born Abt. 1770 in Virginia, and died Bet. April 20, 1843 - May 1844 in Franklin Co., Kentucky.  He married Sarah ?.  She was born Abt. 1774 in Virginia.

 

Notes for George Sacrey:

     George Sacry turns up in Kentucky at a very early age, in the mid 1790's.  Since John Sacre of Caroline County, Virginia was the earliest (and besides his cousins James and Isaac) the only Sacre in Kentucky, he is the most likely candidate for George's parent.

     The name of George is very common in the Caroline County, Virginia branch of the family and much less common in other branches.  In addition, the spelling of the name as Sacre, Sacrey, Sacry is far more common in this branch.  Other branches use the spelling of Sacra much more commonly.

 

Will of George Sacry, Franklin Co., Kentucky, written April 20, 1843, proved May 1844:

        18.  John4 Sacra (Jeremiah3 Sacre, Simon2, Simon1) was born Abt. 1765 in Hanover Co., Virginia, and died March 01, 1838 in Caroline Co., Virginia.

 

Notes for John Sacra:

     John Sacra is in the Hanover Co., Virginia tax lists from 1784 to 1817.  After that until his death he is Carline County.  I believe he is the ancestor of the later Caroline County Sacres since he appears to be the only man living there.  It is also possible that his is the father of James Sacre of Tennessee although that is uncertain.

 

 

From the Wheat Family Bible in possession of an anonymous resident of Hanover Co., VA (Copies in the NSDAR Library and the Library of Virginia):

 

Page 17:  John Sacra Sr., Departed this life Thursday evening about 2 o'clock March 1, 1838.  In his 73rd year of life according to his own information a few days previous to his death.
