Classification: Query
Roxie TIGNOR married William P. DELP on 24 Jul 1821 in Grayston County, VA. Eleven children; four of them married KYLE children making four sets of double first cousins: (1) Mary Ann KYLE (b. 1829) m. Daniel DELP (1825-1855). (2) Sarah Jane KYLE (1830-1906) m. Claborn HERD (?-8 Dec 1857); m. 2nd James Henderson DELP (1828-1900). (3) William Madison KYLE (185-1920) m. Roxie Nancy DELP (b. 1839). (4) James Asberry KYLE (1841-1930) m. Sarah DELP (1845-1911). Civil War Years: Four went to serve but only one returned. Father & Son: William P. DELP, and his youngest son, George DELP (age 16) were taken away by bushwhackers in Grayson County, VA. William was released from the Cumberland Gap Prison camp after the war but he never reached home. His burial place and date of death are unknown. George was never heard of again. Son: Ezeikle "Zeek" DELP (b. 1841) is believed to have died at Andersonville Prison along with 12,000 others. Son: James Henderson DELP b. 7 Nov 1827 Grayson County, VA, d. 1900) served in the US Army as a Second LT. from 15 Apr 1862-15 Apr 1965. Roxie (Tignor) DELP was a widow when she moved to Hammond, Ozark County, MO with her son, James Henderson DELP, in February 1888. Mary Ann (Delp) BAKER (1873-1961), her granddaughter, stated: "She died in less than thirty days after arriving in Missouri." Roxie (Tignor) DELP is buried at Isabella Cemetery. Her grave stone shows the date of death as 1888 and the date of birth as 1808, which should have been "1805". Columbus Newton DELP (listed as "A.N." on the grave marker) and his two daughters who also died in 1888 from typhoid are buried just north of Roxie's grave. Roxie's monument is one that was reported to have been bought by her son-in-law, James Asberry KYLE, for his wife's grave about 1911, but he changed his mind and erected it on Roxie's grave and bought a double headstone for his and his wife Sarah's grave. Through marriages and inter-marriages with DELPS, KYLES, DEANS, HASKINS, BAKERS, and others it is impossible to count the realives of Roxie DELP buried in the Isabella Cemetery and other cemetries in Ozark County. The Barren Fork and Little Fork areas are filled with cousins. Descendents of Roxie (Tignor) DELP are now living in the following states: MO, AR, TX, OK, KS, CO, ID, WA, NV, OR, CA, and two providences of Canada. (Source: "A History of Ozark County 1841-1991")
From Delph book by Laura Lee Moncrief, pg. 43:
William Delp was listed on the 1830 Personal Property Tax list of Grayson County, VA with 112 acres of land on Middle Fox Creek. William had purchased this land from his father-in-law, Josiah Tigner, March 1829.
Footnote 235: Grayson Co., Virginia Book 5, p. 419. Josiah Tigner and Anney his wife were of Russell County, VA at the time. This land is about 27 miles from the courthouse. William Delp paid tax on this land and on 1 horse though March 5, 1834. This is the last time William paid taxes on this land as he lost it to the Commonwealth of Virginia after failing to appear at his Superior Court counterfeiting trial.
From Delph book by Laura Lee Moncrief, pg. 43:
William and his father Daniel Delph, left Grayson County, VA about April 3, 1834 after the Commonwealth of Virginia indicted William for passing counterfeit money. William and Daniel Delp had both appeared before the Grayson County Court, April 2, 1834 but apparently did not hang around for the trial the next day. William Delp failed to make his personal appearance before the Judge of the Court of Law and Chancery.
Footnote 237, p. 43: ...According to Sarah Eppard in a letter to this researcher February 23, 1983, "Most of the mountain men before the Civil War were not too concerned about obeying Federal laws. There were citizens of their states and only incidentally a citizen of the United States. An they felt very little loyalty to the United States, which they considered to be mostly despised Yankees. Counterfeiting and moonshining were illegal but not socially unacceptable to their friends and relatives."
