  1. 2.  TRAVIS, John ✓TRAVIS, John ✓ was born on 15 Mar 1768 in Colony of Virginia, Colonial America; died in 1853 in Virginia, USA.

    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Residence: 1820, Pittsylvania County, Virginia, USA
    • Residence: 1830, Pittsylvania County, Virginia, USA
    • Residence: 1840, Pittsylvania County, Virginia, USA
    • Residence: 1850, Southern District, Pittsylvania County, Virginia, USA

    Notes:

    Believe his son DEFINITELY was named Isaac but am having doubts on the North Carolina data.

    !!!!!DAR no longer approves this John TRAVIS is son of Champion TRAVIS. THEREFORE, I HAVE REMOVED HIM & ELIZABETH BOUSH AS PARENTS. Have not deleted them. 5/16/2020 1:32am
    HOWEVER, SADLY, I cannot get "any" verification that Champion Travis' son, John Travis is THIS man.

    ****John TRAVIS is my 4th great-grandfather but wives need to be verified. A wife named Sarah was listed living with him in the 1850 census at their son Isaac (George Isaac) home. There is another marriage of a John Travis to Elizabeth Oliver but I do not know if this is the same John Travis. There is another John Travis married Sarah CHURCH, dau of Edward Church, his firstborn. 5/1/2020

    Fold3 has a company payroll record for a TRAVIS, John in the 5 Virginia Regiment (Revolutionary War) as a Drum Major in Capt. Burges Ball's Co of the 5th Virginia Regiment. Serving from April 1 to May 1, 1777. And from Nov 28, 1776 to April 1, 1777, from Sep 28 to Oct 28, 1776. Oct 28 to Nov 28, 1776. Ergo, he served from Nov 28, 1776 until May 1, 1777. John would have been only 8 years old. https://www.fold3.com/image/22964262


    Birth:
    One source says Pittsylvania County. (See NOTES.)

    John married Sarah. Sarah was born in 1770 in Maryland Colony, Colonial America; died in 1852 in Virginia, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  2. 3.  Sarah was born in 1770 in Maryland Colony, Colonial America; died in 1852 in Virginia, USA.

    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Birth: 29 Aug 1777, Virginia, USA; From U.S. Sons of Revolution War soldiers. No last name was posted, only Sarah.
    • Death: 1850, Pittsylvania County, Virginia, USA; See NOTES for source.

    Notes:

    The SAR data about Sara and John is no longer accepted as valid by the DAR.

    Sarah Chilton: Birth: 1770 in Maryland.
    John TRAVIS is my 4th great-grandfather but wives need to be verified. Source: https://wc.rootsweb.com/trees/117534/I24846/-/registry

    Chilton was Shelton and more likely her maiden name. BUT I haven't found a father for her. I've found Sarah's but what I've found also having one dying young, the rest married but not to a TRAVIS or anything close to that spelling. THEREFORE I'm removing her maiden name from the tree. 5/17/2020 7:03pm
