  Their son John Harvey married Susan ? in Montgomery Co. VA. John and Susan's son, James Harvey married Mary "Polly" Kiser 1809-1810. James was born in Montgomery Co./ Va and later came to Russell Co. VA. He owned 3000 acres of land in Russell Co. and the village of Artrip was named for him. He and Polly were the parents of Jasper, my great -grandfather. Jasper first married Mary Smith. . He married Harriet Dotson 3-27-1867. They had 3 children--Albert-Sarah-Virginia. I think it is possible that the name Artrup came from the name Hartrup. This name was in England. Virginia County Records. p58 Mary Artrup, admx. of Colbert Artrup, deed., with Joseph Steward,sec.

June 4, 1745CORBET ARTRUP in order to proved his right to take up fifty acres of land according to the Royal Instructions came into Court and made Oath that he came into this Colony immediately from Great Britian about ten years ago and that this is the first time of proving his right, which is ordered to be certyfyed. p323 Colbert must have come to this country about 1735 and this would seem to prove he came from Great Britian.The idea of headrights --- was to encourage the settlement of the New World by providing free passage to individuals. This was not really free because many of them came as indentured servants, or in other ways had to reimburse their sponsor for the cost of passage. But the sponsor or the sponsoring organization that put up the money got the land. For the individual, headrights were a privilege, not something automatically given to a person. He had to get a certificate of entitlement from a county court and take it to the Secretary of the Colony, who issued the headright (right to patent 50 acres). Then he had the County Surveyor make a survey of the land he wanted, and then took the survey and the headright back to the capital to obtain the patent for the tract of land. One must also remember that the amount of money involved was a trifling sum, at that time. This business of headrights can be confusing, and the governing laws changed from time to time, and from Colony to Colony, but it helps to remember that the Golden Rule: he who has the gold, gets the land. It should be further noted that the location of the lands received by the sponsor is not necessarily where the immigrants landed, nor were settled. Location of these acreages was determined by what was available, as well as the individual's desires. In addition, the headrights were bought and sold: the person getting the patent might not have been the one who immigrated, or transported the others. To make it more confusing, headrights were not always claimed immediately after immigration. Obviously they system was fraught with a wide variety of abuses. In summary, a name as headright in a land patent merely establishes that he entered Virginia prior to the date of the patent. They appear in the Court of Common Pleas in the county in which the land was granted. Book 1742-1744Corbet Artrip and Joseph Stewart entered into recognizance & assumed; the sd. ARTRIP in ten pounds current money & the sd. STEWART in five pounds current money to our Sovereighn Lord King George the Second, the same to be levied on there lands & tenements, good & chattells, on condition that is the sd. ARTRIP should not be of good behaviour to THOS:REEVES & others in five it is condidered that the Plts. recover of the Deft. the same & there costs in this suit expended, and the Deft. in mercy, & c. (wonder what this was all about???)_ Richard Hartrop married Ann Colbort 22 Sept 1713 in Saint Benedict, Lincoln, England--24 July 1714 son Richard was born in St. Peters Lincoln, England( I wonder if these could be the pts of Colbert--lots of children named Mother's maiden name--age could be about right)
