Anthony Gholson, born 1733, and wife Elizabeth are the parents of Francis Gholson. William Gholson & Susanna Collins were Francis Grandparents. It appears Francis was their oldest child. This shed new light on Francis as he could not have been born until about 1760 and places his age at about the same as his wife Mary Craig.
Anthony Gholson & wife Elizabeth sold their land in Botetourt Co., Va., to Daniel Stover on 8 Sept. 1801 for $3000.00 The land was known as his Big Spring Estate and totalled 791 acres. Anthony and his family then crossed the mountains and settled in Wayne Co, Ky. He was still living in Wayne Co., in 1813 at the age of 80 years. He died about Jan. 1817 or possibly a little earlier, and was buried at Stubenville, Ky. He died intestate.
The following documents from the Probate Records of the estate of Anthony Gholson of Wayne Co., Ky., were found by Jan Curtis of St. George, Utah, a descendant of Samuel Gholson, son of Anthony and Elizabeth. One document is Power of Attorney which reads as follows: "Know all men by these presents that I Francis Gholson of the County of Maury & State of Tennessee have & by these presents doth appoint Benjamin Gholson of the county of Wayne & State of Kentucky my true & lawful attorney in fact for me and in my name to transact all my business Relat(i)ve to my dec'd Father's Estate in the county of Way(ne) & else where and to do and perform in my behalf all business relative to the Estate aforesaid a(s) fully & effectually as I could do were I personally present Hereby ratifying and Confirming every act and deed of my said attor(n)ey in fact in the premises aforsd as if the sa(m)e was done and transacted in my own p(r)oper name & person In testimony Whereof I hav(e) hereunto Subscribed my name & affixed my (s)eal this 24 Oct 1817
