Thomas Robbins

nancy16447 — 28 Jun 2008 2:07:37 GMT

I would like to find out if Mary A TAYLOR was the 1st wife of Thomas ROBBINS (ca1848 - ). Ten years ago, I was told by my father's cousin that their grandfather, Henry Clay TAYLOR (ca 1839-1922) had a sister who married a Robbins. He did not remember the man's first name but Mr. Robbins had a brother named Daniel.

The census date fits, but that is no proof.
In 1850, James City Co., Henry Clay Taylor has sisters Elizabeth (born ca 1832 - ) and Mary A (born ca 1847- )
In 1850, New Kent Co., There is a household Daniel 24?(I'm looking at a transcription, not original), Harriet 30, Daniel 13, Wm 11, Eliza 9, Benj 8, Sarah 5, Thomas 2, Joseph 1.
In 1880, New Kent, a Thomas ROBBINS born ca 1848- ) is married to a Mary A (born ca 1847- )
By 1900, New Kent, Malinda ROBBINS (35) is living with step-son Daniel (born May 1873- )

I was also told that Charlie Robbins "was some kin to us." Charlie was the son of George Barmun ROBBINS (1975 - ) who was son of Benjamin ROBBINS (born ca 1841- ) which would put him as a brother of Thomas and therefore not that close a relative.

Does anyone know about the ROBBINS family?

Sweeney/Swinney/Vaiden/Semple/Davidson fromVA

Kathleen_Morency — 2 Apr 2004 4:31:58 GMT

About 40 years ago my mother had a woman (SEMPLE/DAVIDSON) who worked at William & Mary send her a family history. It has been lost to us. From what my mother remembers the family were founding members of St. Peters Parish and the name was SWINNEY. I can go back to Vaiden Sweeney B.1857 in Virginia (from 1880 Census.) The story goes that after the war he was sent to General Lee for advice on his future. Lee told him to forget the war and the hatred and leave the south to make a new life for himself. He left and ended up in New York. I am trying to make the connection between him and St. Peters???

Taylor, Lightfoot and Scott Partnership

sambonc — 30 Apr 2005 12:59:40 GMT

See the Norfolk msg board for some previous discussion. I am posting here my last response as I found Lightfoot & Scott family information in New Kent Co. VA.
Would like to hear from any researcher of this business partnership, online or offline sscott2@nc.rr.com. I have found a John Scott will in the NC Archives who apparently died in ANTIGUA(maybe yellow fever) late 1764. The will was written and witnessed in ANTIGUA so apparently there was some urgency in the matter. John Scott names his home as New Bern, Craven Co. NC, wife Martha, no children mentioned. Wife is named executrix and James Reed, pastor of Christ Episcopal Church in New Bern, as executor.
The will was proven first in ANTIGUA 1773 by a ship carpenter on the island implying John Scott may have been there on business before. Will was proven,1778,to the last NC royal governor Josiah Martin wherever he was as the RW had started.
The New Kent Co. VA St. Peter's Parish Register lists one, maybe 2 John Scott families early 1700s along with the Lightfoot family. One John Scott is listed as Capt.(probably militia) and the other as gentleman. Both John Lightfoot and John Scott serve as vestrymen in St. Peter's Parish. Here are some children's names who show up in the register:
Capt. John Scott son Samuel b 1709, dau Sarah b 1710. Gentleman John Scott (wife Judith umn) dau Mary b1712, Jane b1713, Martha b1716. Jesse Scott is born 1718 probably son of the latter. The John Scott d 1764 of New Bern NC may be in one of these lines if he is working with the partnership described in the initial Norfolk post by Arlina,ie merchants and co-partners of Antiqua.
I would appreciate any information anyone can share about this partnership,when it was formed, any information about the initial partners, and their families.

Parents of Anthony Arnold (ca 1635-1676/7) New Kent Co. VA

AHennings8536 — 17 Aug 2007 8:20:09 GMT

In 1981 the Arnold Family Association of the South hired a professional genealogist in England to begin the search for the parents of Anthony Arnold (ca 1635 – 1676/7) of New Kent County, Virginia, and Thomas Arnold (ca 1648 – 1726) of King George County, Virginia. A document of over 200 pages was prepared by Hazel Arnold MacIvor for this undertaking.

The Association published in its final three newsletters the correspondence and records sent by the genealogist. Those sections from the newsletters and the lengthy report prepared by Hazel have now been published (along with a full index) on the Arnold Family Association of the South web page under Unpublished Records.

If anyone has determined (and documented) ties for Anthony and Thomas Arnold to a family or families in England, I would like to hear from you.

New website for Bakers with Virginia origins

jg_russell — 2 Aug 2007 4:52:21 GMT

The Pamunkey Bakers Association -- an informal group of any and all descendants of Thomas and Dorothy Davenport Baker of Colonial Virginia -- is proud to announce the launch of our new website:

http://www.pamunkeybakers.com

Complete with message board (requires registration), photo gallery (where folks can upload photographs, documents and records relating to the Pamunkey Bakers - also requires registration), research reports and a full database of Baker-Davenport descendants (corrections welcome!), the website offers a focus for research into the origins and scope of our branch of the Baker family.

Association members lay claim to being Pamunkey Bakers through the marriage of Thomas Baker (c1711-c1777) to Dorothy Davenport (1716-c1790), whose grandfather Davis Davenport is well-documented as an early landowner in the Pamunkey Neck region of Virginia. Davis Davenport's lands adjoined those of an earlier Thomas Baker, and discovering whether and how that earlier Thomas is linked to our Thomas -- as grandfather, grand-uncle or other relative, perhaps -- is one of the purposes of the website.

The website also hopes to trace our Baker family as it grew and spread out -- through Virginia, in Caroline, Spotsylvania, Orange, Culpeper, Botetourt and Montgomery Counties, among others; into North Carolina, in Burke, Wilkes, Buncombe, and Yancey Counties, among others; into South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama; and west into Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado and more. So we particularly welcome all Bakers with Virginia roots, and hope you'll look to see if perhaps you connect to us (DNA testing is a great research tool!). Anyone out there descended from any of the early Bakers of New Kent?

Come visit, sit a spell, share a story, post a query, add your branch to the family tree.

New Kent Cemetery Photos Online

machiekat — 29 Dec 2005 2:11:07 GMT

Hi - Just an FYI, I have been transcribing and taking photos of graves in New Kent County and posting them at www.findagrave.com

Take a look if you're interested. So far I have done Corinth Baptist Church, Olivet Presbyterian Church, Providence Methodist Church. I have also done St. James Chapel in Norge, outside of Williamsburg, VA.

I am far from completing these cemeteries and will be adding to them as time permits. I still have about 150 photos in my camera to add to Olivet Presbyterian.

BTW, does anyone know why many stones at Olivet just have a name and a number? Is there a registry of them somewhere? Just curious - I don't know if it will help anyone for me to post those gravestones or not.

If anyone has requests for photos at any of these cemeteries, just let me know.

Also, sorry that I can't be of help with anything other than cemetery photos - I have zero ancestors in Virginia! All of mine are in PA, NY, NJ - but I wanted to do something locally to help out New Kent researchers.

Reverend Mossom marriage certificate

Jimmy — 24 Jan 2006 1:15:29 GMT

40 years ago, I purchased the marriage certificate of Reverend David Mossom to Elizabeth Soane (daughter of Henry Soane), dated January 4, 1755. It is referred to Daniel Parke Custis (Martha Washington's first husband), who was Justice of the Peace in New Kent County. It is signed by Martha's father, Jn. Dandridge. Mossom was the reverend who baptised Martha Dandridge Washington, and also married George and Martha Washington on January 6th, 1759. George and Martha raised the Custis children until their untimely death. All involved with this document were involved with the Washington family and were plantation owners and political figures of early George Washington history. The certificate is approx. 5" x 6". There has been a 250 controversy whether George and Martha's wedding took place at St. Peters Church or not. If you have any information and interest in this historical document, please contact me. Thanks

All are children of Arthur Crue/Crews and Mary Grumball, and all born in St. Peter's Parish of New Kent Co. Three noted in St. Peter's Register.

Arthur Crew m. Mary Grumball abt.1710

rnrh_1 — 16 Jan 2007 11:02:04 GMT

Dear List Members,

I am searching for confirmation of a marriage b/t Arthur Crue/Crew and Mary Grumball. I find several references to Arthur and Mary, but do not see confirmation of her last name.

The marriage would have been most likely around 1710, 1711 or 1712.

After searching through the New Kent Co., VA. St. Peter's Register of St. Peter's Parish, I have made some amazing discoveries!
I have found an Arthur and Mary (?) Crue/Crew whom I believe are of my ancestry, and their children.

I found (at least) 4 children;
Sarah daughter of Arthur Crue born April ye 21st, 1712.
Mary ye Daughter of Auther Crew born April ye 11th, 1727.
Robert son of Arthur and Mary Crew born May 28, baptized July 21. (1734)
Ann Daughter of Arthur and Mary Crew born July 7, baptized Sept'r 2. (1739)

I had in my research, one additional son, Edward who I am unable to find in the Parish records. He was allegedly born in 1714 but is oddly missing in these records.

The notes that I have on Edward came from the Archives of Lawrence Co., Tennessee.
They state that Edward and Sarah (?) Crews may have resided in;
Northampton Co., N.C. from 1743-1748
Brunswick Co., VA. 1748-1762
Mecklenburg Co., VA. 1762-1787

If there is anyone who can shed light to my darkness, Please reply.

I would also like to find information on where Arthur and Mary are buried.
And any additional information surrounding this family.

Thanks!

Anyone researching or who has any information concerning my STREET family ancestry who came from New Kent County, please contact me at bensessions@yahoo.com
I'd be glad to share research. It would be wonderful to trace my STREETs back to England,Ireland,or Scotland. It's always so great to find distant cousins!
