25
bethany (b:c1813 d:1916) along with her mother, 4 siblings, 1 uncle, and her presumptive maternal grandmother where owned by james fletcher (b:c1778 d:c1822). sadly the 1810 federal census pages for shenandoah county, va are badly faded at the top and bottom of each page causing 4-10 names to be illegible. happily fletcher is listed in the 1820 federal census for shenandoah county, va with a total of 10 slaves. 6 of these people are recalled in bethany's accounting. james fletcher, the owner, was father to 2 sons and 4 daughters according to the same 1820 census. bethany's account says that james fletcher and her mother charlotte both died around 1822 when bethany was 9. bethany and sister matilda johnson (b:c1806) were left to unmarried lucinda(lucy)fletcher (b:1800 d:1876), the eldest of james fletcher's children. bethany's grandmother and presumed maternal uncle peter johnson (b:c1805) went to asenath fletcher (b:c1802 d:c1831) who married david kibler on february 25, 1827 in shenandoah co, va. bethany's brother stephen johnson (b:c1808) was left to sarah fletcher (b:c1802 d:c1885) who married john martin clizer on december 25, 1826 in shenandoah county, va. bethany says she, sister matilda, and miss lucy moved in with asenath and david kibler after their marriage in 1827. bethany spent about 16 years (ages 14–30) in the household of david kibler. though she was owned by lucy fletcher the entire time, david kibler actually had control of her, matilda, and miss lucy. sometime during this stay bethany got religion. ironically it was david kibler's much younger brother jeremiah kibler who facilitated this. the second great religious awakening in america swept across the country between 1790-1840 and the methodists were leading the way. they found bethany in shenandoah co, va. mrs. asenath, bethany's mother, and her grandmother were all gone by then, but bethany remembered their lessons. bethany also watched and maybe helped as mrs. asenath bore 2 children and died, to be replaced by mrs. elizabeth rickard hockman kibler who married david on february 25, 1831 and then died on august 22, 1837 after giving birth to 3 children. 3 days before elizabeth's death, david got a marriage license for his 3rd wife mary ann levell. life all around bethany was hard. the 1840 census shows gunsmith jonathan grandstaff (b:c1804) one farm over from david, and it is his wool spinner, miss mills, who invites bethany to meeting. with no more clues, it would appear bethany got religion sometime between 1830-1840 while between 17–27 years of age. when david tired of bethany's religious fervor and sent her 2 miles away, it was may have been to stone mason edward levell (b:1790). by 1850 edward levell lived beside jonathan grandstaff. a mr. rickard was also a near neighbor to grandstaff and they were both probably related to david's 2nd and 3rd wives. also during this period, bethany married her 1st husband jerry. jerry was the slave of jonas menefre (b:1780 d:1875) a neighbor to sarah fletcher clizer and brother john g fletcher. all 3 lived in rappahannock co, va, "just over the blue ridge" in 1840. jonas menefre was thinking of going to missouri, about 1843, when jerry and bethany married, but lost jerry to the auction block before leaving. jerry was sold "south" and it broke bethany's heart. menefre did move on to missouri and dies there while living with david clizer, a possible brother to john martin clizer. like most long time residents in any area, everyone is related by blood or marriage or both. there is plenty of proof to be had of bethany and her story.
