    Notes:

    The facts concerning Mary Key, the wife of Matthias Chitwood, Sr., are sometimes confusing but have been verified from multiple sources. She was apparently born before or soon after her parents' marriage in 1695. While her place of birth is said to be Northumberland County, Virginia, at least two of her younger brothers were supposed to have been born in England. It is certain that her father, Richard Key, Sr., was born in England where he is buried in St. Paul's Covent Garden. It seems possible Mary was also born in England.
    More is known about the ancestors of Richard Key, Sr. His father was John Key, born on January 23, 1623, in Wilcombe, Oxfordshire, England; he died in 1695. He married Mary Lenman on May 2, 1645.
    John Key's parents were Richard Key, born February 19, 1575, in Widell, Lancashire, England, and Elizabeth Cowper. His father was Thomas Keye (note different spelling), born in 1540 in Widell, Lancashire, England; died about 1575. He married Mary Flower. As an interesting side note, Thomas had an uncle (also named Thomas) whose wife, Mary Grey-Keye, was sister to Lady Jane Grey, Queen of England.
    Thomas Keye's father was Roger Keye, born 1496 in Shepelbothan, Lancashire, England, who married Elizabeth Hurst on September 11, 1539. Roger Keye's father was John Keye, born 1471 in Littlewood, Lancashire, England, who married Margaret Nadem about 1495. He died in 1571.
    The earliest direct ancestor who can be verified is Nicholas Keye, the father of John Keye. He was born in 1420 in Woodsome, Lancashire, England. I have been unable to find the name of his wife or the date of his death.

    Mary's brother Philip Key was the Great Grandfather of Francis Scott Keye the author of the Star Spangled Banner.

    Notes:

    Capt. James Chitwood, son of Matthias and Mary (Key) Chitwood and brother to Richard Chitwood, was a Tory during the Revolutionary War and was captured and hung after the battle of King's Mountain NC. "The names of the condemned Tories were --- Colonel Ambrose Mills, Capt. James Chitwood, Capt. Wilson, Capt. Walter Gilkey, Capt. Grimes, Lieutenant Lafferty, John McFall, John Bibby, and Augustine Hobbs.

    They were swung off the Gallows Oak, three at a time, and left suspended at the place of execution. According to Lieutenant Allaire's acocunt, they died like soldiers --- like martyrs, in their own and friends' estimation. "These brave but unfortunate Loyalists', says Allaire, 'with their latest breath expressed their unutterable detestation of the Rebels, and of their base and infamous proceedings; and, as they were being turned off, extolled thier King and the British Government, Mills, Wilson, and Chitwood died like Romans.....The poor Loyalist leaders had been left swinging from the sturdy oak upon which they had been executed. No sooner had the Whigs moved off, than Mrs. Martha Bickerstaff, the wife of Capt. Aaron Bickerstaff who had served under Ferguson, and been mortally wounded at King's Mountain, with the assistance of an old man who worked on the farm, cut down the nine dead bodies. Eight of them were buried in a shallow trench, some two feet deep; while the remains of Capt. Chitwood were conveyed by some of his friends, on a plank, half a mile away to Benjamin Bickerstaff's, where they were interred on a hill still used as a grave-yard." Taken from the book "Kings Mountain and it's Heroes", by Lyman C. Draper
    As depicted in the book Descendants of Matthias Chitwood compiled by I.O. Chitwood;

    James Chitwood is the son of Matthias Chitwood and Mary Key.

    James married Alice and they had 7 sons all born in VA;
    1) James born 1752 who married Elizabeth Whiteside died in GA
    2) Moses born 1754 and died in AL
    3) Shadrack born 1756 who married Margaret and died in AL
    4) Joshua born 1758 who married Jane Robinson in VA 1786
    5) Joseph born in 1760
    6) Pleasant born in 1765 and married Barbara Barnes in NC 1792 and died 1848 in TN
    7) Amos born 1768 married Prudence Lattimore 1793 and died in 1843 in IN

    James Chitwood was a Loyalist and Officer (Captain) during the Revolutionary War living in South Carolina.

    As depicted in the book King's Mountain and its Heroes by Lyman C Draper;

    The Battle of Kings Mountain (SC) was a decisive battle and turning point in the Southern Campaign of the American Revolution. British Officer Colonel Ferguson had taken up position on the top of the mountain with Loyalist militia from South Carolina but were overwhelmed in the battle on October 7, 1780 by Patriot militia "Over Mountain Men". Over 400 Loyalist were killed or wounded in the surprise attack by the Patriots. Ferguson was the only British soldier and he died in the battle that lasted about an hour. Over 600 were captured including 9 officers. One of those officers was Captain James Chitwood.

    The Patriots retreated quickly with the prisoners north into NC. The set up camp and tried and sentenced 39 men to be executed in an infamous proceeding. Three at a time they were hung from a large oak tree known after as the Gallows Oak. Captain James Chitwood was in the first group of three to be hung. With nine hanging from the tree, and three more ready to go a disturbance occurred that caused the hanging to be discontinued and the remaining to be pardoned.

    The men had been left swinging from the sturdy oak but as soon as the Patriot force moved off, the wife of Captain Biggerstaff (or Bickerstaff) who served under Ferguson and been mortality wounded at the battle, cut them down with the help of a farm hand. Eight were buried in a shallow trench and the remains of Captain Chitwood were taken to the Biggerstaff farm and interred on a hill there.
