furniture. He stipulates that the remainder of his estate
should go to his wife, Isabel Shipp, and, after her death to
his children Ambrose, Richard, Josiah, John, Nancy and
Thomas.

parcel of pewter, a parcel of earthen ware, knives, forks,

1793. No further record.

Nancey, is listed in Caroline County, VA.

In 1784 Isabel Shipp and her sons Ambrose, Richard, John and
Thomas went to Green County, Ky. The family stayed close
together on farms north of present-day Campbellsville and near
the village of Saloma. In 1796 a church called Pittman Creekand
Robinson Creek was organized. By 1802 there was a building with
a ground floor and was located just north of the Pittman schoolin
the middle of a field. Among the charter members who signed the
Constitution were: Isabel Shipp, Richard Shipp, Thomas Shipp,
Ambrose Shipp, Ruth Shipp (wife of Thomas}," Elenor Shipp (wife

Virginia Light Dragoons, was led by the soldier-statesmanGeneral
Thomas Nelson Jr., first governor of Virginia and a veteran ofthe
