Notes:

John Packs Parentage:

There are two possibilities. James and Martha Pack or Elizabeth Pack (Unknown Father). James and Elizabeth were siblings. Either of these siblings could be his parents:

This is based on the following:

From Jerry Olinger

In regards to James Pack being his father, let me say that I am not fully convinced of that. John Pack does show on the 1840 census of Patrick County, Virginia living next door to James Pack. On the 1830 census of Patrick County, Virginia there are two males living with James Pack, one of which is the right age to be John Pack. I can't answer the question of why James did not mention these two males in his Will when he died in 1853. I can say with assurance that John Pack had to be the son of either James Pack or his sister, Elizabeth Pack, that had several children during the early 1800's in Patrick County. John Pack and Harden Pack did marry Delong sisters in Floyd County, Virginia. Both John Pack and Harden Pack were living in Tazewell County, Virginia in 1850. If John Pack was the son of Elizabeth Pack, I am not sure who his father was. It appears that some of the children of Elizabeth Pack probably belonged to John Cole of Patrick County.

From Jane Warrick

HARDEN PACK was m. to Maria Delong on 20 Jan 1842 and the marriage bond said HARDEN'S mother was "Elizabeth." Harden then married Nancy E. Dean in 1851 in Tazewell Co., VA.

Now GREEN OR GREENVILLE PACK married Nancy Hooker in 1823 ih Patrick Co. VA. Some say GREENVILLE PACK then married Susan Parr 31 May 1850 in Tazewell Co., VA. (This may have been the same GREENVILLE, but I don't know if it was or not - have no proof.) Then GREENVILLE PACK married Rebecca Duncan on 13 Sep 1863 in Patrick Co., VA. I have two (2) Marriage Certificates for this marriage - one from the Commonwealth of VA in Richmond which says GREENVILLE'S parents were J and N PACK. The other marriage certificate is from Patrick Co., VA and it indicates his mother was "Elizabeth Pack." No father was named.

Also, there is a marriage record of Walter S. Stephenson to POLLY PACK in Tazewell Co., VA in 1855 showing Polly Pack's mother as "Elizabeth Pack." (It lists John Cole as her father????)

Now here are three records showing Elizabeth Pack as the Mother. Was she also the mother of my JOHN PACK???

John and Hardin Pack were definitely brothers, based on a witness statement in a chancery record for the divorce of one of John Packs son's, William. In the record William claims his wife was sleeping with one Adam Pack. Witness's claim Adam Pack is a first cousin of William Pack. Adam is the son of Hardin, making William and Adam first cousins.

Now, I don't know if Hardin and John were half brother's which could be the case.

Birth:
Census records give different dates for his age. 1805, 1811, 1813.

Died:
Don't know exactly when John died but but the newspaper articles above prove it was around 1897.

John married Matilda "Tilda" Ann Delong on 31 Dec 1835 in Floyd County, Virginia, USA. Matilda (daughter of Orman Delong and Sarah Reed) was born in 1813 in Montgomery County, Virginia, USA; died after 1870 in Tazewell County, Virginia. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

• Census 1860: 1860, Western District, Tazewell, Virginia
• Census 1870: 1870, Maiden Spring, Tazewell, Virginia, USA

Notes:

The confusing story told by Matilda's great grand daughter Georgia Quesenberry Maxfield regarding Matilda being "Samantha Delong" daughter of Captain John Delong.

I have never found a record for the existence of a Samantha Delong. According to all records, MATILDA Delong is the wife of John/Jack Pack.

And all records point to Matilda being a daughter of Orman and Sarah Reed Delong. That had multiple children, and there is no record of Orman being a Captain in the Military.

Cynthia Pack's death record also list Matilda REED as her mother. Reed would have been Matilda's Mother's maiden name.

However, there was a John Delong in Montgomery Co. the same time as Orman. There was also a Michael and a Sally Delong, all around the same age and all likey to be siblings.

There are marriage records for Sally and Michael, tho no parents are listed. I can't find a marriage record for John, but records do indicate he served in the Militia at some point, tho his rank is not stated.

I have been unable to track any of the other Delong's mentioned above other than Orman.

I suppose it is possible the John Delong was married to a Matilda, and they couldn't have children, and Matilda was an Indian child that was found, again, there are no records to support this.

Although there is no concrete proof that Matilda is a child of Orman Delong, she was in Floyd county the same time he was and there seem to be no other Delongs in the area.

Notes:

• PP Tax List : 1797, Wythe County, Virginia, USA; Persons over 21Nicholas Delong 1; Horses, Mares 1

Notes:

Birth:
Possible father of Orman, not confirmed

Name:
This is simply based on a Delong of age who lived in the area. There was a Nicholas in Wythe, and as Wythe was once part of Montgomery, there could be some relation. There was also a James Delong of the right age to be Orman's father, living in Montgomery County. Orman was probably related to the Fredrick county Delongs, but currently there is no documentation that connects him to any other Delongs.

The Nicholas/James, Siblings Michael, Sally and John are all conjecture

Notes:

Died:
I think there was a deed that she was mentioned in around 1850, which is why her death date is listed as after, but haven't seen it, need more info. Could have died before 1850.
