Hello,
I am not aware of a direct connection to your Benjamin Robinson, but I thought that providing my Robinson information here might help others who might link to me or to us farther back in time:

My 6th g.grandfather & g.grandmother:
Isaac James Robinson (1682-1753)
Esther Stainsoy Robinson (1682-1760)

They were migrated from St.Martin-in-the-Fields, Middlesex, (London) and are listed as marrying on Sept. 9, 1716 at St. Bene't (Benedict?) in St. Paul's Wharf, London( Ref. = Pg. 194 of "The Registers of St. Bene't and St. Peter, Paul's Wharf, London" (Vol.11, St. Bene't, 1619 to 1730)

I have a note that (Isaac)James Robinson was originally from Ireland (not yet proven).

They settled in Augusta County, VA raising 8 children:
Ann Robinson (unknown dates)
Elizabeth Robinson (unknown dates)
William Robinson (b. in Augusta County, VA)
James Robinson (b. in Augusta County, VA)
John Robinson (b. in Augusta County, VA)
Thomas Robinson (b. in Augusta County, VA)
Joseph Robinson (b. in Augusta County, VA)
Samuel Robinson (b. in Augusta County, VA)

William is my 5th g.grandfather (m. Margaret Gorrell, date unknown)
His daughter Lydia Robinson (1750-?, Mrs. John Wiley) is my 4th g.grandmother

William's Will is posted online and provides information about his family.

Thank you,

Laurence the immigrant, and son Richard Young family 1700's.

jeppsonjeffery1 — 2013-05-02 21:51:55Z

I am interested in anything about Laurence Young the Immigrant, born around 1670 and died around 1745. Supposedly the first white man to the area around Fredrickburg. His son Richard Young lived his life there and died around 1778 at age 82. Sons, Richard, John, Leonard, William(my connection) and Lawrence. Daughters Sarah, Mary and Jane. It is my information that the sons moved to Fayette County Kentucky or either had a connection to Fayette County Kentucky. My Ancestor William, John, Leonard and Richard did for sure. I would like to know what is available for these people and respective families. I know that the area's resources were ravaged in the Civil War but anything would be great. Thanks again.

I am connected to the Richard Young family. Also anything on his father Lawrence Young. The time frame would be in the 1700's. Richard had five sons named Richard, John, William(my connection), Lawrence and Leonard and three daughters, Sarah, Mary and Jane. Richard died around 1778 and his father is reported to have died in the 1740's. The family is also connected to Fredricksburg, too. Thanks in advance. Jeff Jeppson

Re: Scott Families of Caroline Co. and Lynchburg, VA DNA

imshedevil2001 — 2013-02-12 12:33:20Z

Hi Jana - I would love to correspond with you. The William F. Scott,that I have been researching had a farm located near what is now Meherrin, Virginia. Our connection to him was through the children he was reputed (known)to have had with Betsy Lyle.

Betsy Lyle was the daughter of white mother and an enslaved black man.

Betsy Lyle lived and worked on the farm of William F. Scott between the mid to late 1840s until his probable death in the late 1860s. I say probable, as I have not been able to find out just when William F. Scott died. What I can tell you that, he's out of the picture by the late 1860s.

I presume that he had died sometime around 1867 based on both age of Betsy Lyle's youngest daughter, Maria F. Lyle in the census records. The marriage record of Maria F. Lyle to Robert Green names Scott as her father.

Do you know where Lockett, Virginia would have been relative to Keysville? That's were most of the Lyles and their kin (Early, Eggleston,Hatcher,Green,Brown) lived until just before WWII.

Re: Whitaker/Whittaker

chanservices — 2013-01-05 23:42:59Z

Hello thank you so much for your response. The family is so excited. I'm trying to be patient until we both can confirm everything and connecting the correct dots.

So far my research judging upon the Census documents, and research online by findagrave.com of (Elizabeth May Whitaker Satterwhite) and word of mouth by Jean & Ruth with their certificate and letter from Grace (Lonnie's sister); everything seems to match --- it seems to match up.

After of some struggle through looking through Satterwhite family, I come to discover that Elizabeth is really "Lizzie" listed in the Census documents.

Jean, Shirley, & Ruth Satterwhite are the living daugthers of Lizzie.

Lonnie is the brother of Lizzie (Whitaker) Satterwhite.

Lizzie had nine children: James, Fred, Clarence, Virginia (Jenni), Jean, Donald, Ruth & Ruby, and Shirley.

My grandmother in-law (Ruth) has little information of the family due she was given up for adoption at a very early age (2-4 years).

Then I researched the Whitaker family.....

What was told was that one sisters had an old birth certificate that said Elizabeth (Whitaker) and father William Satterwhite, and when she had lost her certificate; she submitted to get a new one and it came back saying Lizzie Whitaker.

Then years, years, and years ago....Ruth had received a letter from a Grace stating about Lizzie Whitaker.

Jean still remembers uncle "Lonnie" driving a taxi cab in DC, back when she was young. She just told us that she remembers after going to her mom "Lizzie"'s funeral, which Ruth was not allowed to go because she was too young, she went to stay at her uncle "Lonnie"'s house 3-4 days and his daughter Dorothy was cooking her up some fried chicken. *She would love to know if Dorothy is still alive* She mentioned that Lonnie and Grace often visited because she believes her mother (Lizzie) had cancer and died around 1948.

Findagrave.com:
http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=Wh...;

You will see:
Wife of William Satterwhite,mother of nine.
Daughter of Hazel Whitaker,sister of Lonnie W.Whitaker,Mrs.Grace L.Wilcox and Mrs.Essie M.Bryan.

***Census are so confusing due to the mispellings of names***

Census says, Lizzie was born 1901 mispelled last name being Satterwite, or Lazsie Satterwhate.

Then tracing Lizzie Whitaker with the same birth and place with a James E. Whitaker and Hazie Whitaker.

On Lizzie's plaque? says Hazie was the mother and Lonnie W., Essie M.(Mrs.Bryant), and Grace (Mrs.Wilcox) being sisters. But my fiance and I believe whomever did Lizzie's plaque did not know much about Lizzie, because Hazie (possibly Lonnie too) may have not been her mother and may have been Daisy, or Hazie may have raised Lizzie and that is why it is on the plaque. *PLEASE LOOK OVER CENSUS CAREFULLY* My fiance and I really had to think and reanalyze dates and names to make a connection.

I tried helping the family look for Lonnie's grave, because they said they want to visit it. I saw that he died in Clinton, Md, but when I looked in findagrave.com I could not find anything. But please if you know, please let us know. We thank you so much. =)

Most of the family members live in Maryland. Aunt Jean says she tried to find the picture, and come to look at it, you can barely see what her mom looks like. And again Ruth does not have anything due to her adoption. Shirley is currently hospitalized in Texas, we believe has the inability to talk. The family says if they are related, that they would love to visit Ginny and the others if they are around.

I personally do not have anything on us, except connecting the dots with the census documents. Ruth stored the letter from Grace in the attic and will have to go through it when she has a chance. But Grace is the youngest sister of Lonnie and Lizzie. (As you should see on 1940 Census)

I attached one of Ruth's pictures when she was in her young lady years. Both Jean and Ruth are saying they have hopes they maybe your side might have something a picture of their mother with Lonnie possibly, because they do not have nothing else but the one very blurry faded picture.

Very excited to see your side, thank you again for your post. If it were not that I found your posts, especially mentioning of Lonnie's mother Hazel and daughter Dorothy, I would of been stuck. *Whew*

Looks like something maybe wrong with attaching files here,so I will try to send some to email. Chanservices@gmail.com

Re: Whitaker/Whittaker

ALMIK — 2013-01-05 15:10:45Z

Hello - I do have the oldest sister of Loniie - Essie M. Whittaker born Feb. 25, 1896 - may have married a Satterwhite but had no further information on her. I did some genealogy on the family but did not back it up before my computer went down, so I'll have to scan the pages and e-mail them to you. Send me your e-mail address - mine is fortlong@embarqmail.com
My husband's mother is the Whittaker - she is the daughter of Lonnie and Esther. Ginny is still going strong at 95 years of age.
Looking forward to seeing what you have - and I'll scan the genealogy I have sometime this weekend and send it to you 2 pages at a time so I don't overload or take too much time sending them.
The spelling goes back and forth and it was really confusing when Lonnie Whitaker married Esther Whittaker.

Re: Whitaker/Whittaker

chanservices — 2013-01-05 00:34:39Z

Hello,

I am speaking on behalf of my fiance William Prichard and grand-daughter in-law of Ruth Satterwhite.

(Fiance's grandmother) Ruth Satterwhite was adopted and found some of the family but I had found information that she is the daughter of Lizzie (Whitaker) Satterwhite.
Lizzie and William Satterwhite lived in Richmond, Va till 1920-1930? Because William Satterwhite went to WWI and they had moved to Maryland or otherwise District of Columbia.

I found information Elizabeth May Whitaker Satterwhite was in relation to Lonnie W, Essie M., and Grace and the daughter of Hazel Whitaker.

I have been struggling much with different spellings of the names on the census and got confused, but found a old post from 2006 of a person stating James Edward Whittaker married Hazie Whittaker. Their children matches the names and years of birth to Lizzie birth of 1901.

One of the children remembers that her uncle Lonnie was a taxi driver and had a daughter that had polio.

We would really appreciate if there is any more information.

Thank you.

Looking for information on Raymond Sanders seen in the 1820 census in KY. He was Born in Caroline County VA. And his wife Sally Alsop who was the daughter of George Alsop/Alsope and Delphia of Caroline County VA. Delphia may have been George Alsop's second wife. Raymond Sanders and wife Sally Alsop had a daughter Mary Ann Sanders born 1809/1810. In her obituary is says that she was born in Caroline County Va, and when a young girl her family moved to Jefferson County, Kentucky.
Maryann Sanders married 1st George Fisher, and when he died, abt 1834, she married (in Jefferson county KY) 2nd Samuel B Miller born 1811 KY. Samuel B Miller born 1811 and Mary Ann Sanders are seen in 1840 and 1850 census in Jefferson County KY.
A descendant had information from her parents that Samuel B Miller was probably the son of William Miller born abt 1770 and Jane Chenoweth born 1774/1776, daughter of Captain Richard Chenoweth born 1734 and Margaret "Peggy" McCarty.
This descendants parents had in the 1940's gone around the country gathering information from relatives. She found all the information in a box that her parents had.
We are looking for a William Miller born 1770's parents,
and to find if Samuel B Miller is the son of William Miller and Jane Chenoweth or who Samuel B Miller's parents are. Descendants say that there is a William Miller who is the son of James Miller and Elizabeth Roy but no one has any information on this William Miller at all.
James Miller and Elizabeth Roy were supposed to be from
Caroline County VA, as well as George Alsop and wife Delphia and Richard Sanders and wife Sally Alsop.
Would you have any of these surnames or the people I mention in the History of Caroline County VA by Wingfield?
thank you in advance for any help you can give me with any of these families or family surnames.

Re: Robert Cobb(S)

flkid — 2012-12-26 19:53:24Z

I found a document from the Central Rappahannock Heritage Center Archives regarding the estate of Lewis Cobbs dated 1843. It lists the children of Lewis Cobbs. Nelson Cobbs is listed as a son. Lewis' widow is listed as Susan W. and I think she is likely a later wife and not Nelson's mother. Other children listed are: Overton, Lynch, Fleming, Terrell, Lewis V., Harriet, and infant son Robert T. It mentions a Napoleon P Luck as spouse of a late daughter. I believe her name is Elizabeth from a marriage record I found.

Joanna Petross Lawrence (Johanna):
Joanna Married Joseph Lawrence about 1813 in Virgenia.
They moved to Rutherford Co. TN about 1835.
They owned property and slaves.
Joseph died about 1840.
Joanna died about 1855.
I have a copy of a letter written by her back to Virginia about her father's slaves.
Their farm had to be sold off at 25cents to the dollar.
Joanna had property she controlled by herself.
She eventrally moved in with one of her children.

This is all I have on them. I find it odd that I have not been able to find a record of any communication between the brothers or their respective families. Was there a reason for this?
I have a record of one of Joanna's sons moving to Graves Co KY with Samuel one of Archilald's sons.
Today there is no communication between the respective. I hope I can thange this.
