Menefee Family

The Menefees are of English origin, and the spelling varies from Minifie to Manifee to Menefee, the latter being more common today. The first to arrive in Virginia was George Minifie who was there by 1625. He was a Burgess for James City, and from 1635 to 1645 was a member of the council. His will was probated on January 20, 1646, in Charles City County and also on February 25, 1646-1646, in the Preg. Court of Canterbury, England. He left his estate to his wife Mary and his daughter Elizabeth. Florence Hudson tells more of him and other Menefees in her book, We Cousins.

On May 8, 1702, John Manifee was sued by Garrat Newton in Richmond County, Virginia. (Court Order Book 1702-1704) On November 3, 1747, John Menefee helped administer the estate of Henry Rogers of Spotsylvania County. We suspect but cannot prove that this John Menefee was the father of the Menefee sons named below.

The first known Menefee of this study was Jonas Menefee. He was born about 1726, perhaps in Spotsylvania County, Virginia. He and two of his brothers settled in Culpeper County and are mentioned in the court records there. On April 10, 1762, “Jonas Manifee of Culpeper Co.” was granted 333 acres on Maple Branch of N.R. Cacapehon River in Hampshire County. The land was surveyed by John Mauzy and was adjacent to Henry Enoch. (Va. Northern Neck Land Grants) The next day, April 11, “Gerrard Manniffee of Culpeper Co.” was granted 227 acres in Hampshire County, adjoining Henry Enock and “his bro. Jonas Manifees.” In 1765 John Menefee died and named “my brother, Jonas Menefee,” as the executor of the estate. Gerrard Menefee was a witness.

On October 19, 1777, “Jonas Manifee and Elisabeth his wife” sold 210 acres to John Francis Lucus Jacoby. The price was forty five pounds, “Virginia Money.” The land bounded the land of William Manifee, Nicholas Battail, Garriot and Jones. (Deed Book 1, pp. 66-69)

During the Revolutionary War, farmers provided the army with supplies. Then they turned in a claim for payment. In November 1780 Jonas Manifee turned in a claim for 21 bushels of rye supplied to Joseph Strother. In December 1781 he turned in a claim for 250 pounds of beef.

Jonas Menefee of Bromfield Parish wrote his will on February 23, 1779, and it was proven in the Culpeper County Court on November 18, 1782. (Will Book B, p. 533) In the will he mentioned his land in Hampshire County, named his wife Elizabeth and his son Henry. He mentioned his other children, but not by name. Witnesses were Henry Baker, Edmond Duling, Nancy Baker and Jonah Bryan. The estate was inventoried and recorded on June 20, 1783, amounting to L202.12.0. (WB C, p. 54)

Jonas Menefee’s wife is mentioned in his deed and will as Elizabeth. Some researchers have assumed that she was Elizabeth Chew, but this is unproved. They had a son named Larkin, an unusual name. Presumably Elizabeth’s father was Larkin Chew of Spotsylvania County. However, there was a Larkin family in Culpeper County, and this writer suspects this may be the source of the name. Another researcher says the wife was nee Elizabeth Vardesman, but again, no proof is given. Jonas and Elizabeth probably married about 1752.

Even though Jonas did not identify his children in his will, except for Henry, we can take an educated guess to determine who they were. Since the brothers did identify their children in their wills, the process of elimination helps to identify them. F.W. MacIntosh, a researcher of the family, says that these are the children:

1. Henry Menefee, was named in the will of his father. He was born on February 28, 1754, according to family records. He married Sarah Dollins on November 19, 1773, was a veteran of the Revolutionary War, and died on March 11, 1844. The Kansas City Genealogist, Vol. 8, No. 1, p. 14, records a copy of the family Bible of Henry Menefee. It lists the 13 children of Henry and Sarah: Elizabeth, Hannah, Mildred, Polly, Frances, Jonas, Henry, John William, Sallie, Larkin, Jarred, and Richard.

2. Larkin Menefee was born about 1756. He married Lucy Yancy in Culpeper County on March 16, 1797. He died in 1802, for on October 15 of that year his estate was listed and valued. It included “a negro boy named Stephen appraised to 100 pounds.” Anthony Hughs, William Yates and Henry Menefee were the appraisers. (WB D, pp. 440-441)

3. Spencer Menefee was born in 1762. More below.

4. John Thomas Menefee was born about 1763. He married Frances or Mariah Finnell.

5. Nancy Menefee married Henry Baker.

6. Martha Menefee married Josiah Bryan.


Spencer Menefee was born in 1762 in Culpeper County, Virginia. On December 20, 1786, he married Rita Boston, daughter of Joseph Boston, in nearby Orange County. The 1782-1787 tax list of Culpeper County includes Spencer Menefee. He volunteered in July 1779 to serve under James Bowman of Culpeper in the Revolution. Then he was drafted in1780 and served under Capt. Noll and Col. Muhlenburg for eight months. He was drafted again in 1781 and served another eight months before being discharged. More below. On April 20, 1789, John Strother rented 100 acres to Spencer Menefee, his wife, and daughter Fanny.

Spencer Menefee probably moved to central Kentucky in the early 1800s, for a Spencer Menefee was witness to a wedding in 1805. (See below) He was living in Scott County, Kentucky, by 1817, for he paid taxes on 100 acres on Eagle Creek. Joseph, Larkin, John and Spencer Menefee, Jr. are also listed. Spencer Sr. and his wife moved to Decatur County, Indiana, about 1827. There, in 1832, he applied for his Revolutionary War Pension, Claim S16191, and the last payment was made to him on April 10,1834. He apparently died shortly thereafter. Here is a copy of his application, as found in the National Archives:

The State of Indiana
County of Decatur
On this 24 day of October in the year 1832 personally appeared in open court, before the Honorable Judges of the Decatur Circuit Court for the county of Decatur in the State aforesaid, now sitting. Spencer Menefee, a resident of the County of Decatur in the said State aged sixty nine years who first being duly sworn according to law doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the act of congress passed June 4, 1832.

Spencer X Menefee
Witness - H.F. Robison

We James Freeman a clergyman residing in Greensburg Indiana, and John Corban residing in the same place hereby certify that we are well acquainted with Spencer Menefee who has subscribed and sworn to the above declaration that we believe him to be be sixty nine years of age that he is reputed and believed in the neigh- bourhood where he resides to have been a soldier in the revolution and that we concur in that opinion.

Sworn & subscribed the day & year aforesaid.
James Freeman
John Corbin
The pension was granted on February 13, 1833, acknowledging Spencer’s service for 18 months. He was granted $90 including arrears.

The following are believed to be the children of Spencer and Rita Boston Menefee:

1. Frances “Fanny” Menefee married John Corbin in Fayette County, Kentucky, on April 29, 1805. Spencer Menefee was bondsman. John Corbin was witness to the Revolution- ary War application above.

2. Joseph Menefee. See below.

3. Larkin Menefee married Ann Corbin in Harrison County, Kentucky. The bond was signed on June 15, and returned on June 21, 1810. He apparently remarried later, this time to Charity Annis and settled in Decatur County, Indiana.

5. Lydia Menefee?

6. John Menefee.

7. Spencer Boston Menefee was born on December 16, 1797, in Bourbon County, Kentucky. He married (1) Ann Crockett and (2) Ann C. Hutchinson. Ann Hutchinson was born on March 9, 1806, and died August 31, 1892. Spencer died on January 25, 1878, in Pettis County, Missouri.

9. Retty Jane Menefee married William Clark on January 12, 1837, in Decatur County. We assume she was a daughter.

10 William Nelson Menefee was born in 1803. The Illiana Genealogist, Vol. 17, No. 1, 1981, includes a brief article about William and his descendants. He married Rachel Francis Davidson on October 12, 1837, lived in Covington, Indiana, and became a physician. “Rachel died one day and William the next, both buried in one grave. Dr. Menefee was 48 yrs. and Rachel 42 yrs. when they died in 1852 of ‘Milk Sick’ disease. They were the parents of Mary Henrietta, Joe, Sarah, John, Edward, William, Hills and Oll.”


Joseph Menefee, son of Spencer and Rita Boston Menefee, was born about 1792, probably in Culpeper County, Virginia. All too little is known of him. As noted above, he was on the Scott County Tax List for 1817. The 1820 Scott County Census lists him on page 287, and his family then consisted of one male, 26-45; one male 16-20; two females, 16-26; and one male and one female 0-10. There was one slave. Also in the county, Larkin Menefee was mentioned twice. The 1830 Harrison County Census lists a Joseph Menefee on the West Side of the Licking River, page 156. He was living alone, and age 20-30. This does not fit the picture, and we suspect that the age was incorrectly noted. We figure he would have been between 30 and 40.

The Biographical Record and Portrait Album of Tippecanoe County, Indiana, contains this reference on pages 693-694:

Mr. Shively was married in July 1837 to Miss Elizabeth Menefee, who was born in Bourbon County, Kentucky, October 18, 1823, a daughter of Joseph and Ann Menefee, who were residents of that county until their death...At the time of her marriage Mrs. Shively was visiting at the home of her uncle in Lafayette, Indiana.

Kate Shively Curtis, the youngest daughter of William and Elizabeth Menefee Shively, left some written anecedotal material regarding the family. This is according to F.W. McIntosh. Kate noted that Ann, the wife of Joseph, died in the early 1820s after being severely injured while riding a horse between her “plantation” and the adjoining plantation of Ann Burns. Kate said that her mother had described Joseph’s second wife, Lucinda, as being “unkind,” which prompted her to go and live with her Aunt Anne Burns.

Since Joseph’s first wife was Ann, and since Elizabeth’s aunt’s name was also Anne, they obviously were not sisters. This leads us to wonder if the aunt was Joseph’s sister. Or, the aunt could have been married to a brother of Aunt Anne. In that case, Anne’s maiden name was Burns.

The second marriage, referred to above, was to Lucinda Henson Edwards, whom Joseph married on September 10, 1832, in Harrison County. She was the daughter of John W. and Joanna Henson Edwards of Harrison County. The 1850 census indicates that she was born in 1810, meaning she was about 18 years younger than Joseph. The marriage had its difficulties, and on May 6,1839, Lucinda went to the court to get a restraining order, to prohibit Joseph from disposing of any of the land they had acquired from Lucinda’s relatives, the Hensons. Lucinda and her brother, George W. Edwards, signed the document. This action was a part of a suit for divorce that Lucinda brought to the Harrison County Circuit Court. Lengthy records of this are to be found in box 262, bundle 7305.

Here is a copy of her charge:

To the Honorable the Judge of the Harrison Circuit Court in chancery setting. Humbly complaining sheweth unto your Honor your Oratrix Lucinda Menefee that about six years ago she intermarried with her present husband Joseph Menafee whom she prays may be made a defendant to this Bill. Your Oratrix states that at the time she married her said husband he would sometimes become intoxicated with ardent spirits though not often, but that his habits of intemperence have gradually increased until he has become a confirmed drunkard and sot. That when sober he was kind & affectionate to her, but when drinking was alway irritable and unkind. That with the increase of his intemperate habits his temper has become worse until he has at last degenerated into a most cruel tyrant. That he has often beat and abused your oratrix in so unmerciful a manner as to endanger her life, and of which beating she was confined to her bed and unable to leave it for six or seven days, and about two weeks ago he expelled your Oratrix with two of her children from his house, since which time he has brought the third and only remaining child to her. She further states that he has frequently, and particularly within the last few weeks threatened her life, and when she left his house, she was compelled to leave it, he at the same time threatening most vehemently that he would kill her unless she would go off. Your Oratrix states that she has always since her marriage with her said husband...to discharge her duty towards him as much as she was able to do. That she hoped by kindness and a submissive and dutiful course of conduct towards him to reclaim him from his evil habits. That she has had by her said husband three children all of whom are living the eldest of whom is is only five years and the youngest about four months old, all of whom she has in her possession & whom with herself she has to support and maintain by her labour. Your Oratrix states that from the time of her marriage until the present she has used industry and economy, and although she and her husband were poor when they married they might have lived comfortably and have accumulated property, but he in his gambling and drinking frolicks which were frequent, squandered almost every thing that he and your Oratrix were able to obtain. That he owned six undivided...parts of a tract of 105 acres of land situated in Raven Creek in this County which he purchased from Benjamin Henson, George Henson, and Gideon Henson, Will Cole and Elizabeth, his wife, Sarah Hufford and Hannah Haines whose lands he holds for a title to the same. That George Henson lives in the State of Missouri, Gideon Henson lives in the State of Illinois and William Cole and Elizabeth his wife live in the State of Indiana. Your Oratrix states that her husband owns two horses, two cows, about eighteen head of hogs and some household furniture, that when he sent your Oratrix off, he sent with her a bed and her wearing apparel. Your Oratrix states that her said husband will not permit her to live with him nor can she attempt to do so without manifest danger to her life, and even now though forced to separate from him she lives in continual apprehension of personal violence. And being without remedy except by application to the chancellor she prays that her said husband and the said Benjamin Henson, George Henson, Gideon Henson, William Crow and Elizabeth, his wife, Sarah Hufford, and Hannah Hanes be made Defendants to this Bill and that they severally answer all and singular the matter, and charges aforesaid upon oath as fully as if here again repeated by way of special interrogatory and that her husband be injoined and restrained from disposing of any of his real or personal estate until she can be heard in chancery that the other Defendants be restrained from making any conveyance...until the further order of this court that upon a final hearing of this course your Honor grant her a divorce from her said husband and such part of his real and personal estate as under the circumstances of the case will be suitable and proper for the support and maintainance of her children her husband from his habits of intoxication being wholly unworthy and incapable of taking charge of them or bring them up in a suitable and proper manner. And she will here state that he threatens and she fears that he will unless restrained by your Honor dispose of the whole of his real and personal estate so as to entirely to deprive your Oratrix of any benefit thereupon. But should your Honor refuse to decree a divorce to you Oratrix she prays for such alimony and separate maintainance for herself and childen as may be suitable to the conditions and circumstance of her husband, and for an allowance and maintainance during the pendency of this suit and for such other and further...as to equity belongs and the nature of her case may require...

Several depositions were taken from those who knew of the situation between Joseph and Lucinda Menefee. Samuel Bell stated on August 31, 1839, that he helped moved Lucinda and her children to her mother’s house on Twin Creek, about three miles distant, for Joseph had threatened to kill her. Her youngest child was then very young, only a few months old. “I do not think she could have remained in safety that night.” When asked about the character of Lucinda, Samuel stated that she “was said to be a prudent clever woman, and so far as I know she is a prudent decent woman.” About Joseph, Samuel stated “he was a bum a drunken sot and vagabond ever since I knew him.”

James Beard (or Baird) gave his deposition on August 31, 1839, stated that he had known Lucinda since she was a child, and that she was a “prudent, clever girl.” About Joseph, James said he had known him for six or seven years, and thought him to be “a very bad man in his family, as much as I ever saw.” He said that he never saw Joseph beat his wife, but had seen her very bloody, and she told him it was from him beating her on the head with his knuckles. He said that Joseph had told him he had struck her because “she had visited a family that he had forbid her to visit.” When asked if Joseph provided well for his family, James said, “I never heard any complaint on that account...he has purchased I suppose upwards of 70 acres of land on Raven Creek.”

Sally Barnes said in her deposition that at the “same time last spring I was sent for to see her. When I went to see her she was very much injured and was speechless, & her pulse was gone. It was...two hours before she could speak. It was some time that she was confined and she was expected to die. She had a place at the small of her back and hip, as large as my two hands that was bruised as black as a bat. Menifee said he had struck her with a chair & if it had not not slipped it would have saved her. (As I understood he wanted to say he would have killed her)...Mrs. Mennifee’s youngest child at that time, and I do not think it was more than two months old.” Asked about Lucinda’s character, Sally replied, “ I have lived a close neighbor of Mrs. Menifee from the time she was a child and she was as prudent and clever a girl as any in the county and I never heard a word to her ...until since she married Menifee, since then I have heard that he has spoken unfavorably of her but I never heard of any other person saying a word against her. She is an industrious woman & I have known her to work in the corn field & tread out wheat, whilst it was said he was lying on his back with his bottle. I have seen her carrying corn & he lying drunk...Before he took to drink he was an industous man but for a year or two since he has taken to drinking so hard I do not think he has done much...”

Isaac Rutledge said, “I never heard a Syllable against her. I have known her from an infant and she was a prudent, smart girl, and I never heard anybody say anything against her, only Menifee.”

An August 31, 1839, Joseph Menefee made his statement, saying he admitted being married for about seven years, that his habits “have been somewhat intemperate before his marriage which fact was well known to his wife at the time of their intermarriage, & that he has been more intemperate since than before his marriage.” He said he has “lived for some time past very unhappily with the Compt. owing to a disposition which she has continually manifested to irritate and excite your respondent by abusive and provoking language whilst your respondent was intoxicated.” Joseph admitted that on occasion he may have used violence toward Lucinda, while drinking, “when provoked to do so by the abusive language of the complainant.” “Your Respondent alleges and believes that he could have lived happily with the complainant notwithstanding his own intemperate habits had she continued to treat him with kindness and that he never would have given her any abuse whatever had she not indulged a most unhappy temper toward your respondent at all times when she found him drinking, and in fact as most times whether your respondent was drunk or sober.” “Your Respondent not withstanding his habits of intemperance has been industrious and prudent and has accumulated some valuable property and at all time provided amply for the support and sustenance of his family. Your respondent admits that he owns the land as set out and described in the the complainants bill which he has procured by his own industry and means his wife having brought nothing with her upon their intermarriage save a most unfortunate temper and abusive tongue.” He denied he had compelled her to leave, and said he in fact helped her move when she wanted out. She took most of the furniture, “near two wagon loads.” He believed she also took $100, leaving him “but one solitary picayune in his drawer.” He agreed with the divorce “provided it be reciprocal.” He felt she had already taken much of the personal property, and did not think she deserved more. At the same time, he asked the court to question her about her taking his money, provoking him while he was drinking and then complaining to the neighbors.

Lucinda gave her response on February 24, 1840. She stated that it was true that she knew about Joseph’s drinking “too much ardent spirit” before they married, but that he had promised her that if they married he would give up drinking entirely. She denied using provoking language. When sober he would promise to stop drinking, and would until a convenient opportunity to get drunk again. She admitted “that she was poor when she married..., that she however had a good bed and bedding, good wearing apparel, some household furniture & a horse worth $30 or $40.” She said that Joseph also entered the marriage with very little, “two horses, a bed scantily supplied with clothes, a bureau and some money, not exceeding $200 most of which he soon thereafter gambled away.” The property they obtained, she said, was more of a result of her work than his. She listed the property she took with her, but denied taking any money. She denied abusing him and then talking to the neighbors, but rather said she had been subjected to such cruelty that she could no longer conceal it.

The outcome of the court case is not known, but it does not really matter, since Joseph died shortly thereafter. He wrote his will as follows:

In the Name of God Amen. I Joseph Menifee being weak in body but sound in mind do make and ordain this my last Will and Testament. 1st I will that my body be buried in a decent and Christian like manner and that my funeral expenses be paid out of my estate. 2ndly I will that all my just debts be paid after my decease out of my estate. 3rdly I will that my wife Lucinda shall have one third of my estate both real and personal after my debts are paid during her natural life. 4th I will to my sons Robert and Spencer five dollars each to be paid out of my estate. 5th I will to my daughters, Elizabeth, Ann, Joannah and Susannah each five dollars to be paid out of my estate. 6th I will to my friend James Cleveland with whom I now live he supporting me till my decease all the ballance of my estate both real and personal. 7th and last I will that Sol. C. Perrin be appointed my executor to carry this my last Will and Testament into effect and that the County Court do not require of him security thereby revoking all other wills by me previously made.

Signed & Sealed in the presence of the Subscribing Witnesses this 13th day of August 1840.
Joseph X Menifee

The will was proven in the November Court of that same year, 1840. If he was born in 1792, he was about 48 years old.

On February 28, 1844, Lucinda Menefee, “widow,” agreed to sell 50 acres to Isaac Rutledge and his wife, Margaret. (Deed Book 19, p. 375)

On January 1, 1845, Lucinda Edwards Menifee married again, this time to John K. Baird (or Beard). The 1850 Harrison County Census, page 126, lists John Beard 26, Lucinda 40, Joanna Menefee 14, and Susan Menefee 11. The court case above stated that Lucinda had three children. Possibly one of them had died. The 1860 census lists John R. Beard 32 and Lucinda Beard 38. With them was James Beard 17. We assume he was a relative.

Lucinda Baird apparently died early in January 1863. The administrator and appraisers of her estate, were named on January 24, 1863. (Court Order Book N, p. 424)

Here, then, are the children of Joseph and Ann Menefee, his first marriage:

1. Spencer Menefee was born on August 10, 1821, according to the IGI file. He married Eliza Ann Offutt on December 12, 1846, in Fayette County. They lived in Bourbon County, where the 1850 census, page 240, notes Spencer Menifee 26, Eliza 20, Isabella 3, and Maria 1. Spencer is buried in the Old Union Cemetery on Russell Cave Pike. The dates on the stone are 1822-1859.

2. Ann Elizabeth, or Elizabeth Ann, Menefee was born in Bourbon County on October 18, 1823, as mentioned above. She married William Shively. In the will of her father, it appears as though these are two different persons, but Kate Shively’s record mentions her as “Ann Elizabeth.”

3. Robert Menefee.

Here are the two known children of Joseph and Lucinda Edwards Menefee:

1. Joanna Menefee was born in 1836-1837. She married Andrew P. Baird in Harrison County. The bond was signed on July 5, and returned on August 4, 1855. Andrew was listed as age 23, and Joanna age 18. The 1860 Harrison County Census lists Andrew Beard 28 farmer, Joana 23, Louisa 3, and Thadeus 5/12.

2. Susanna Menefee was born on January 2, 1839. She is the infant referred to in the court case as being only a few months old. She married James E. Richardson on October 30, 1855. She died on June 25, 1908, and is buried in the Battle Grove Cemetery in Cynthiana. Their children were Cordelia, Ann Eliza, James William, Newton Arthur, Mary Frances, Joanna D., Lewis, Callie and Susan. James and Susanna Menifee Richardson are the ancestors of this writer, through the daughter Joanna, who married Russell N. Faulconer.
