Re: Need obit: Charles Franklin Meadows, died Richmond City, Nov 1975

ArleyMeadows1 — 2009-06-01 14:09:19Z

Thank you. I am trying to determine if George was a son of Madison C. Meadows and Mary Ann Garten Meadows (if the Mary A. in the 1900 census is Mary Ann Garten Meadows). The marriage record for George and his second wife Bertie Keatley lists the parents of George as M.C. and M.A. Meadows.

Madison C. Meadows left Summers County, WV, where Hinton is located, and moved to Virginia and later Mt. Airy, NC. He was married a second time. The 1900 census says that the Mary in the household of George was a widow but I believe that to be incorrect (unless she married a second time after her marriage to Madison).

I have located George and Charles in Alleghany County, VA in the 1910 and 1920 census' but not in the 1930 census. I am looking for any information that will tie Charles, and George, to Madison and Mary Ann Meadows.

Thanks again for your help.

I am looking for the same information myself. I will let you know if I find anything. So far I have done a lot of historical research and have a hypothesis, but have no proof or source documents. I am wondering if he was involved in Bacon's Rebellion, and since he died in 1677, he might have been on the losing side and might have been executed by the then governor. I think maybe this is why he has the title "Captain" in some documents. Hope I find something soon.

Hi
I'm anxious to speak with you about the Bryants of Shelby County.

Do you have a copy of Peter's will? I descend from John W. Bryant who married Eliza Ford in Shelby Co. in 1825.

I believe that John is the son of Raleigh who left a will in Shelby Co in 1814.

Re: Smoot/Durham Deed

RobertaEstes13 — 2008-07-20 13:01:08Z

Hi Janean,

Actually, I found my information and a lot more about the Smoot family at the 3 following links.

http://www.usgennet.org/family/smoot/va/richmond/richmond-1....

http://www.usgennet.org/family/smoot/book/001.html

http://www.usgennet.org/family/smoot/smootdur.htm

My own Smoot connection, if there is one, is through William Smoot born 1636 in York Co. Va. and his wife, Jane, who is the son of your William Smoot. William gave some land to Dorothy Durham, wife of Thomas Durham, for his great love and affection for her, but he does not say what relationship she is to him. It has been assumed for years that she is his daughter, but continued genealogical research casts doubt on this assumption as discussed in the links above. There is a question about whether Dorothy was really a Gilbert and a daughter of one of your William's children. Clearly she was somehow related, but exactly how remains a mystery.

Dorothy and Thomas Durham had a daughter Dorothy "Mary" who married Thomas Dodson. They had son George Dodson who moved to Pittsylvania Co. Va and had Raleigh Dodson who moved to what is now Hawkins Co. Tn. and had Lazarus Dodson who moved to Claiborne and McMinn Co. Tn. His son Lazarus Dodson lived in Claiborne County, then after he was widowed moved to Pulaski Co. Ky and died. His daughter married John Y. Estes about 1841 and the family continues to descend in Claiborne County in the Estes family to me.

Roberta Estes

So, the long and short of this is that I think I'm a Smoot, but I'm not exactly sure.

Smoot/Durham Deed

RobertaEstes13 — 2008-07-20 02:05:02Z

I need a favor. I copied a page from the book Virginia County Court Records, Deed abstracts of Richmond County 1695-1701 by the Antient Press (Spariacio). On page 101, the last item is a deed from William Smoot Sr to Dorothy Durham, wife of Thomas Durham. The final part of the deed is on the next page, page 102, which I failed to copy. The library where I found it is in another state. Would someone be so kind as to transcribe for me the final portion of the deed on top of page 102 including the witnesses and such (or scan it for me) so that I can complete my record?

I'd be very grateful. You can e-mail me offline at restes@comcast.net. Thank you so much.

Re: William Smith-died 1786 in Richmond Co., VA

Nikishka2 — 2008-11-10 18:34:35Z

There were many Smith's in the Richmond Co VA area in the early 1700s and it is very difficult to determine if or how any of them are related. I would encourage you to check out the Southern Smith DNA project to see just how diverse these lines were.

To make any of the "connections" that you are making, you really need to look at all of the land, will and order book records that are available for Old Rappahannock, Richmond, Lancaster, Northumberland and Westmoreland counties (referred to in VA as the Northern Neck). There were so many intermarriages between these early families that many times it is very difficult to know exactly which Smith family you are dealing with.

An excellent source for this Northern Neck area of VA is the book, "Married Well and Often". The author researched all of these sources (plus many, many more) and created an invaluable tool. I have still not determined which Smith family ours belongs to but I was able to determine the maiden name of their mother!

Our William Smith (d. 1742) married Mary Woollard Peck Saunders abt 1719. Their marriage was not recorded in the North Farnham Parish records but the birth of their sons were. I was able to track her down through witnesses on the various legal documents she left behind and records in the order books. However, even knowing the names Smith and Woollard has made it difficult to connect the Wollard Smith who appeared in the later part of the 1700s with any of our Smith's in the early part of the century. I have also had problems connecting the Alexander Smith you mentioned with in of our Alexander Smith's.

If you are able to make the connections, please let me know. Best of luck!

Re: Mullin family of Emmerton

dhazel1 — 2008-11-25 00:22:50Z

I have Ancestry, so this was an easy query - it is not my family.

I found the MULLEN family in the 1880-1920 censuses. Please see:

1880- Washington District, Richmond Co., VA

1900- Washington District, Richmond Co., VA - Frank Jr. living with parents, Frank W. and Mary MULLIN, and brother Frederick MULLIN.

1910- Tidewater Road, ED 109, Washington Dist., Richmond Co., VA - index says Frank T. MULLEN. Frank is living with his new wife, Mabel W. MULLEN, born 1887. They have been married 4 yrs. in 1910, so their marriage date is approx. 1906. They have had two children, one still alive (Ella Miskell MULLEN, born 1908)

1920- Taggart St., Colonial Beach township, Washington Dist., Westmoreland Co., VA - index says Frank T. MULLEN. He is living with his wife, Mabel, and their seven children.

1920- Washington Twp., Richmond Co., VA - Mary J. MULLIN, mother, age 73, widowed, living with son's family, Frederick C. MULLIN.

Any questions?

There is a Benjamin Jones of North Wales, Great Britian, married long before 1731 Elizabeth Pugh, daughter of David Pugh of South Wales and sister of Lewis Pugh who settled in Richmond County, by 1704. Benjamin and Elizabeth (Pugh) Jones were living in North Wales in 1731. (AB#1, p. 157-160).

Richmond Costume Shop

JanetLWood — 2008-10-17 20:39:42Z

I have come across an old costume of my mothers that has a tag in it that shows the costume was made by "Richmond Costume Shop". It looks like it is from the 1950's and is VERY well made and ornate.

I can find no information about the company and wondered if there were any Richmonders out there that remember this store and could supply me with some of the history.

Re: Smoot/Durham Deed

JRay38M — 2008-07-20 17:57:58Z

Also, in one of these links you sent when whoever wrote it, they were describing the relationship between Ann Fox w/o William Fox with respect to William Smoot's deed to Dorothy and her children. They mistyped the mother of Ann Fox as Ann Chinn Stretchley...... who was obviously ALICE not Ann. So you have to be careful reading these typed reports because as I'm sure you well know, you get to typing someone's name over and over... like Ann Fox's and when you go to type her mother Alice.... you hit the A and your brain jams and you type ANN instead.

I tried reading through the SMOOT pages and pages and pages... what it appears everyone seems to be missing is Dorothy being the daughter of William Smoot and Grace Wood. They keep using Dorothy's brother as the subject of interest as the one being the father.

William Smoot the elder b.1596 d. 1670. I do not have Dorothy so far as a child listed, guess I just hadn't gotten it typed in yet but I do have Thomas, Richard, Elizabeth, Ann, Alice and William. Now could Elizabeth or Ann be Dorothy? with Dorothy being a middle name or Elizabeth or Ann being the middle name? I don't know. Could Dorothy be William's daughter by another marriage? I don't know. I haven't researched it enough NOR have I logged in all my information. But based on all will's and deed's I've seen so far.... she was definately Alice's sister. Remember, that Smoot page was written in 1999 and does not appear to have been updated.

Here is ANN FOX's will

Her Will is dated February 9, 1725, and was recorded December 10, 1729 in Clerks Office, Lancaster County, Virginia - Will book no. 12, pg. 123

Item - I give to my Aunt Dorothy (Smoot) Greenham, wife of Jeremiah Greenham of Richmond Co. Plantu, my suit of silk crape clothes and a suit of muslin head clothes - with apron, rufels and ---

Item - My will and desire is that my Mulatto girl name Mary which is now in possession of Jeremiah Greenham and my aunt Dorothy Greenham his wife remain with my Aunt Greenham until the said mulatto girl Mary shall rise to the years of twenty and one if my Aunt Dorothy Greenham shall live so long and in case my Aunt shall die before Mary shall come to 21 years then my will is that my niece Ellen Heale have ye said mulatto until she arrives to 21 years and at the expiration of 21 my will and pleasure is that mulatto Mary be free from all persons whatsoever.

Dorothy is his sister.

Below is the Will of Alice Smoot Chynne Stretchley my 8th great grandmother and Dorothy is mentioned along with "cousin" Mary Dodson which obviously is Dorothy's daughter. Remember, they didn't use Niece and Nephew back then like we do now nor a few other relationship names. Brother or Step Brother could be brother in law, etc.

I descend from William Smute/Smoot 1596-1670 who was married to Grace Wood. They lived in Charles Co. MD. I descend from his daughter Alice who lived in Lancaster and married John Chynne. Always like to meet a cousin if you are from this same line.

Male Smith Orphan around 1818-early 1820s

tunnelm1 — 2008-06-28 13:32:47Z

Does anyone know of ANY Smith family in the area who might have had a male Smith infant who would have been orphaned around 1818-early-1820s? My maternal gg-grandfather was named Smith W. Brown, and DNA testing on one of his living male "Brown" descendants shows that Smith W. Brown was apparently a "blood Smith" versus a "blood Brown." Thanks!

Re: Willam Henry Sisson of Richmond Co. Va

tunnelm1 — 2008-06-04 18:59:07Z

A Henry Sisson married a Miss Winnie Smith, daughter of an older Winnie Smith, in Richmond Co., VA in 1787. How did this Henry Sisson "fit" into the Sisson family that you show? Do you have any other information on Henry and Winnie (Smith) Sisson (children, where they went, etc.)? Do you have any info on this overall Smith family?

It appears that the older Winnie Smith was born Miss Winnie How/Howe, daughter of George and Mary (Landman) Howe. I do not know for sure who Winnie Howe's Smith husband was, but I wonder if he was out of (or, at least, related to) the John Smith of Richmond Co., VA who had married Mary Colston (a Meriwether descendant) in 1738, and/or the William Smith who married Mary Belfield?

You mentioned the Sandy surname.......In 1788, a William Smith married an Elizabeth Sandy, daughter of John and Mary (Unknown) Sandy, and a James Howe (apparent brother of the abvoe-mentioned Winnie (Howe) Smith) was the bondsman. It appears from looking at various posts on the internet, that the parents of this particular William Smith are uncertain (there seems to be two or three "possibilities"). Any/all info on any of the above will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Re: William Smith-died 1786 in Richmond Co., VA

tunnelm1 — 2008-11-10 21:42:53Z

Thanks for your reply. It is the LACK of Smith DNA participants that causes many of the unknowns. There are two descendants of Alexander Smith (died 1790s) of Middlesex Co., VA who have joined the DNA test, and they actually match my maternal cousin who is a Mr. Brown (our gg-grandfather was named SMITH W. Brown (born about 1818; lived in Middlesex Co., VA), and I suspect that he was adopted by the John Brown and Mary Bennett who married in Middlesex Co., VA in 1805). Mary Bennett's apparent brother was named SMITH Bennett, and I suspect that their mother Mrs. Winnie Bennett had the maiden name of "Smith."

Sadly, there does not appear to be any donors currently in the Southern Smiths DNA project who claim to trace back to 1) Colonel Francis Smith of Essex Co., VA (who married Lucy Meriwether and second Anne Adams), 2) John Smith of Richmond Co., VA (who married Mary Colston, who was a daughter Mary (Meriwether) Colston, the sister of Lucy Meriwether) nor 3) Christopher Smith/Lawrence Smith/Reverend Guy Smith (another "major" Smith family in eastern VA). I could go "on and on" about the "VA Smiths" who do not appear to be represented in the DNA project at this time.

Re: Need copy to will

tunnelm1 — 2008-10-12 12:51:19Z

I note that an Elizabeth Woolard (listed as "spinster") married a John Smith in Richmond Co., VA on 7 Jun 1784 (date of bond), and a Samuel Wollard was the bondsman. There was a John Smith who married Mary Colston in Richmond Co., VA by 1738, but I don't know if the above John Smith who married Miss Wollard was his descendant. It appears that the William Smith who died in Richmond Co., VA in 1786 was a son of John Smith and Mary Colston, and Thomas Plummer Smith was one of the sons of that William Smith (so the name Thomas was used in the family).

Eleanor Woollard married my great great great great grandfather, Thomas Dunaway, in Richmond County on 23 Jul 1789. I don't have any other facts on her.

Thomas had seven children, but I'm not sure which (if any) were Eleanor's. She must have died fairly young, because an 1816 Orange County Deed mentions Thomas' wife ANN.

If anyone has more information about Eleanor, I would be most appreciative.

Pepple , Dr. Allen W., 88, of Richmond, former chairman of the dermatology division and clinical professor of dermatology at Medical College of Virginia, widower of Dr. Ruth Brown Pepple .

DECEMBER 26, 1996

DR. ALLEN PEPPLE DIES, FORMER MCV DERMATOLOGIST
Richmond Times-Dispatch - December 26, 1996
Author: Ellen Robertson ; Times-Dispatch Staff Writer
Dr. Allen W. Pepple , 88, a retired dermatologist who was former chairman of the division of dermatology at Medical College of Virginia, died Tuesday at a local hospital after falling ill at a Christmas Eve party given by friends.

He lived in Richmond. A Fessenden, N.D., native of German ancestry, he grew up in a bilingual household on a Midwest farm cleared by his grandfather.

After graduating from and completing a dermatology residency at Washington University, Dr. Pepple came to Richmond in 1937 to practice.

At that time he became a volunteer faculty member at MCV in an era when the MCV teaching staff was largely volunteer "because they couldn't afford it otherwise," said Dr. Robert Scoggins, a colleague. "He put in hours and hours each week at MCV, 50 hours or more. Few did as much as he did. He established the residency program in dermatology at MCV."

He also gave volunteer service at the MCV dermatological clinic.

An avid amateur photographer and member of the Richmond Camera Club, he took his own took photographs of dermatological conditions and used them in his teaching.

Dr. Pepple became clinical professor of dermatology and during the 1960s served as chairman of the dermatology division. He retired in 1993.

His time at MCV was interrupted only by his Army service during World War II as chief of dermatology for Percy Jones General Hospital in Battle Creek, Mich.

Dr. Pepple was a founding member of the Virginia and Richmond Dermatological societies and a life member of the American Academy of Dermatology. He also was a member of the Richmond Academy of Medicine and the Medical Society of Virginia.

He had been an avid bird hunter and a baseball fan who could quote statistics "from way back," Scoggins said.

He was the widower of Dr. Ruth Brown Pepple , a pediadontist. She died in 1987.

Survivors include a brother, G. Milton Pepple of Fessenden, N.D.

His funeral will be at 11 a.m. Saturday at St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, 6004 Three Chopt Road. Burial will be private.

The family suggests that memorial contributions be made to the Ann Carlson Home in North Dakota, the Richmond Home for Ladies, where Dr. Pepple was a volunteer dermatologist, St. Stephen's Episcopal Church Choir or Jamestown College.

AUGUST 15, 1987

DENTIST DR. RUTH PEPPLE DIES
Richmond Times-Dispatch - August 15, 1987
Dr. Ruth Brown Pepple , 73, a retired children's dentist, died yesterday at home.

She was graduated from the University of California Dental School in San Francisco and did post-graduate work at the Forsyth Dental Clinic in Boston, before moving to Richmond in 1937.

She was a former member of the Richmond Women's Club. Survivors include her husband, Dr. Allen Pepple , and her brother, George Wallace Brown of Rio Vista, Calif.

A service will be conducted Saturday at 11 a.m. at Hollywood Cemetery.

AUGUST 15, 1987

GRAVESIDE SERVICE HELD FOR EX-CHILDREN'S DENTIST
Richmond Times-Dispatch - August 15, 1987
A graveside service for Dr. Ruth Jewel Brown Pepple , a retired children's dentist, was held today in Hollywood Cemetery, 412 S. Cherry St.

Dr. Pepple , known professionally as Dr. Brown, died yesterday at her home, 2510 Monument Ave. She was 73.

For most of her career, she practiced from an office in the old Professional Building at 501 E. Franklin St. She retired about nine years ago. A Rio Vista, Calif., native, she was a graduate of the University of California Dental School in San Francisco. She did graduate work at Forsyth Dental Clinic in Boston.

She moved to the Northern Neck area in 1937 to work as a dentist in schools for the Virginia Department of Health.

During the late 1930s, she moved to Richmond and continued similar work for the health department in Richmond-area schools.

She married Dr. Allen Pepple , a local dermatologist, in 1940.

She was a member of the Richmond and Virginia State Dental societies and of the American Dental Association. She was a former member of the Woman's Club.

Survivors, besides her husband, include a brother, George Wallace Brown of Rio Vista, Calif.

Re: BELL FAMILY - NORTHERN NECK OF VIRGINIA

9thkycav — 2007-09-09 16:10:24Z

Rev. Charles Bell was executor of the estate of Lewis Lamkin, d bef March 1814 Northumberland Co VA. The 3-4 Lamkin children lived with the Bell's for awhile. Eventually they built estates of their own in the Northern Neck.

At least two of Bell's sons migrated to Saline Co MO before 1850. There is a letter dated 23 June 1857 by James L Lamkin in response to one from James L Bell.

The letter references "your brother Bartholomew" and "Wm D Bell, that old Fogy" who James L Lamkin had seen at church.

James L Lamkin died in 1861. His son John C Lamkin left the Northern Neck in 1866 for Saline Co MO.

Re: Joseph Bryant Lewis

seatide — 2008-03-14 00:33:46Z

The chart I have is a Lewis chart that has some very limited Bryant information due to marriages. One of the charts was done by James Lewis.

Mr. Haynie told me there were four different Lewis families in Northumberland; my Lewis ancestors were descended from Willoughby Lewis. My g-g-g-grandfather Joseph Bryant Lewis was born circa 1810 in Richmond County but lived near Village in the area of Luttrellsville Rd at the time of his death. His mother was Francis Bryant. He attended Coan River Baptist at one point.

I am pretty busy right now but can get the chart out and scan it for you if you'd like over the next week or so.

No, I have not seen that book. I have really not done much research in Richmond Co., VA (yet). The book is almost certainly available at the Library of VA, but I have no idea as to when I can get over there again. If you could send me the salient Smith information, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

Re: William Smith-died 1786 in Richmond Co., VA

tunnelm1 — 2008-06-01 16:44:49Z

Thanks so very much! If I "read between the lines" a little bit (and also using the available data on RootsWeb World Connect...though unverified by me), it certainly appears that the William Smith who left that will in Richmond Co., VA in 1786 (with a brother named Benjamin, and with sons named Thomas P. (Plummer), William and John) was the son of John Smith and Mary Colston, and that this Mary Colston was the daughter of William Colston and Mary Meriwether (a daughter of Francis Meriwether and Mary Bathurst). This Mrs. Mary (Meriwether) Colston married second Thomas Wright Belfield, per some of the charts on World Connect. Also, some of the charts on World Connect show that the John Smith who married Mary Colston was a son of an older John Smith and his wife Barbara Allen, while at least two of the charts show that his father was a William Thornton Smith, Sr, and his wife Ann Unknown (I have no idea which, if either, is correct).

What is really unclear is if this Smith family was "blood related" to the Nicholas Smith/Colonel Francis Smith family that ALSO married into the Meriwether and Belfield families. The William Smith (died about 1785 in Essex Co., VA and left a will) who married Mary Belfield in Richmond Co., VA (as shown on one of your two posts about the Smith marriages in Richmond Co., VA) was a son of Colonel Francis Smith and his second wife Anne Adams (the Colonel's first wife had been Lucy Meriwether.....who was the SISTER of the above Mary Meriwether who married the above William Colston). At least one of the grandsons of William and Mary (Belfield) Smith named James Smith (born 1801; married Priscilla Brooke Fleete)lived and died in King and Queen Co., VA.

Note: The above-mentioned Thomas Wright Belfield and his wife Mary Meriwether (he was her second husband, apparently, as shown above) were the grandparents of this Mary Belfield......so Mary Belfield was also a Meriwether descendant.

Based on the various "connections" with the same families, as well as "connections" with the Richmond Co., VA area, I would certainly not be too shocked if the John Smith who married Mary Colston was "blood related" in SOME WAY to the Nicholas/Colonel Francis Smith family of Essex Co., VA (but who knows....maybe they were just all "friends and neighbors")?

There was also an Alexander Smith over in Middlesex Co., VA, and a member of his family, as well as a member of the Colonel Francis Smith family, married SIBLINGS (a brother and a sister) in the Giles Webb family of Essex Co., VA. As such, I have my suspicions that Alexander Smith (who was in the Lancaster/Middlesex Co., VA area by at least 1658) was ALSO possibly related to Nicholas Smith and his son Colonel Francis Smith of Essex Co., VA (and there is some DNA testing that, while not yet conclusive, also "points to" a POSSIBLE "blood connection" between the "Essex Smiths and the "Middlesex Smiths."

On a final note, there was a Miss Winnie Howe (born 1750s) whose parents were George Howe and Mary Landman of Richmond Co., VA. Winnie Howe is shown on one or two World Connect charts to have married an "unknown Mr. Smith" and to have had daughters who were named Ann Smith and Winnie Smith. I don't see any evidence of this marriage in what you provided, but then again, I have no proof that the marriage was actually in Richmond Co., VA (or maybe they never actually married). Per some research, it is quite possible that the above daughter named Winnie Smith became the Mrs. Winnie Bennett of Middlesex Co., VA.....she had an apparent son named Smith Bennett, as well as a daughter named Mary Bennett (who married a John Brown in Middlesex Co., VA in 1805). If you ever see any evidence of who this "unknown Mr. Smith" who fathered children with Miss Winnie Howe was, I would really appreciate it if you would let me know.

Thanks again for your most generous help.

Thanks so much, but I already had this will. Do you have any idea as to the parents/lineage of this William and Benjamin Smith?

Also, an unknown Mr. Smith married a Miss Winnie Howe (she was born in the 1750s, as I recall) of Richmond Co., VA, and they had daughters who were named Winnie Smith and Ann Smith. Do you have any idea who this "unknown Mr. Smith" was? Thanks.

An article that was in THE DAILY DISPATCH, Richmond, Virginia June 11,1862, Tells of two of my ancestors who are buried in the Hollywood Cemetery. The two boys were cousins from Texas. J.F. (James Franklin) Jones and E.C.(Enoch Clisby) Jones. Both died of typhoid fever. Both boys died in the home of John F. Panner, Richmond, VA.
Would love to hear from relatives of the John F. Panner family listed and if there are there volunteers who could get the dates and information on the Jones boys markers. I would LOVE an emailed photo if possible of their markers. Thanks for any help and information ..

If you can get the time to scan the chart, I would really appreciate it. I have limited Bryants in my tree also, but have two lines of Lewis, and I'm at a dead end with both! I am particularly looking for John Lewis (b before 1787, d about 1824) who married Ailcey (Alice) Headley (23 May 1807)and his ancestors. And for Richard H. Lewis (b about 1805, d 6 Oct 1870) who married Frances Booth Barnes (29 Dec 1828) and his ancestors. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

i have a complaint about the virginia department of health!!!!!!!!

CARLAPAGE81 — 2008-02-05 00:07:30Z

i have tried three different times now to send for my gggggrandfathers death certificate and even sent in the right documents to verify who i am and the right money orders and sent the right document stating which documents i would like to have.and who ever works there keeps sending everything back to me that i send them.i have never had anyone be so rude,to not send me the records i requested.i am trying to get my gggggrandfathers death certificate for 20/march/1854 in albemarle county,virginia for EDWARD PAGE.ACCORDING TO EVERYTHING I HAVE HE DIED 20/MARCH/1854.
when i mailed the documents to the virginia department of health i mailed a copy of my identification,the money orders and the document that asked which documents i would like i had it marked and said who i wanted the documents for.i have not had so much trouble in all my life trying to get documents for the state of virginia in all my life.the people in washington county,virginia were as nice as they could be when i was there.i am most disappointed in the people of richmond!!!!!!!!

Re: i have a complaint about the virginia department of health!!!!!!!!

CARLAPAGE81 — 2008-02-05 02:27:46Z

the first time they complained that my missouri id which i just got from our department of motor vehicles here in springfield the department of health tried saying it wasn,t real well i beg the diifer with them.the second time they pulled the same thing.this time they give no explanation so i sent a email complaint to them.i know the death is on microfilm at the virginia archives so maybe i should get the microfilm on inter library loan.the people in albemarle,amherst,and augusta county were as pleasant as they could be same with the people at the washington county courthouse.i get the feeling that there are those who don,t want me to dig.i have to wonder what the page family has to hide.there is mystery surrounding my page family.there was a fude over my gggggrandfathers will.daughters were taken away from some of the men in the family.all i know is my gggggrandfather couldn,t have been buried without some kind of proof of death.the law states that noone can be buried without proof of death.they started keeping death records in virginia in 1853.they started keeping marriage records in 1804.during the american revolutionary period in virginia the episcopalian church had control over virginia,everyone born in the 1700,s their births had to be registered with the episcopalian church.they had to be baptised in the episcopalian church.i believe that the virginia state archives or the library of congress has those records.i,ve definetly done my research.i guess i,m just going to have to come back out to virginia again someday.snail mail has gotten me nowhere.especially with the virginia department of health.i was hoping to find out who edward page,s parents were.

Re: Looking for information on Peter H. McCaskill

2006-11-29 14:08:45Z

Hi Mike,

Just wanted to let you know that you have posted this inquiry on the list for Richmond County, Virginia, not the City of Richmond. Richmond County is on the Northern Neck of Virginia, more than an hour away from the City of Richmond.

If Peter was in Richmond, Virginia, that probably meant the City of Richmond, so you probably want to post something on that list, not this Richmond County list. This always causes lots of confusion.

Sorry not to have information about Peter for you.

Good luck,

Based on the date & place of his death I am assuming he may be an unknown son of Henry & Mary Stott Pullen of Lancaster Co. The date of this death predates Mary's death of 1731. This could explain why he is not listed in her will.

Re: Bryant, Martha

2006-07-17 22:00:26Z

Hi again..
I would love more info on your Bryant Family, if possible. I feel since Martha Bryant lived in this area, she would surely fit in our Bryant's somehow. All our Bryants started out in this area..and we are still finding Bryants.
Back to Martha's home..I have been trying to find someone who might know something..my husband was a descendant of Reuben Alexander Bryant and Northam Lee Bryant. He was raised in this area. He told me that the road you mentioned (Totuskey Church Road), is not the same as it was during Martha's lifetime. He remembers that years ago there was a big two-story house, located across the road (opposite side of road), from Paul Headley's house. Now there are new houses built on the land. The house was torn down years ago. This might be the house you are looking for ?
If you are coming from Haynesville down the road, there is a small house on the right side with a red roof...Paul Headley lived there before he died..and the old house which I mentioned was across the road almost directly in front of this small house. I do not know who the parents of Paul Headley was, but maybe he was related to Jeter Headley you mentioned ? If Martha left some land to Jeter, then maybe this is the area...
I will continue to try and see if anyone knows about Martha. This is quite an interesting research. Meanwhile any names of Martha's family might be helpful.
Was she Martha Ann Garland Lewis ? Her parents ?

Re: Bryant, Martha

2006-07-16 22:28:01Z

Georgeanna Bryant was the daughter of William C. Bryant and Martha Lewis.Georgeanna was born about 1856 in Richmond County, Va.

She married first to Moses Hale. They married November 1, 1864 in Northumberland County, Virginia. (Marriages- Northumberland County, Va. 1854-1917, page 12). She was his second wife.

Moses Hale was born about 1816 in Northumberland County, Virginia. He married first Nancy Sydnor, on December 17, 1838 in Richmond County, Virginia.
Children: Margaret C.Hale
Royston R. Hale
Sydnor Hale
Mitchell Hale
Temerete Hale

The 1870 Federal Census - Washington Magisterial District - Richmond County, Va. sheet # 261
Moses Hale age 53, farming
Georgeanna Hale age 21, keeping house
Lombard J. Hale age 17, a laborer
Sapora Hale age 11, at home
Lily Hale age 4, at home
Obediah Hale, age 1, at home

Georgeanna married second John C. Brown.
They married August 29, 1905 in Northumberland County, Virginia.He was born in Northumberland County, she was born in Richmond County, Virginia. He was 65 and widowed, she was 49 and a widow.

Re: Bryant, Martha

2006-07-16 21:04:57Z

Glad this helped a bit...I research the Bryant Family in this area...and I have come across Martha. Do you have any info on her husband and children ? Any relatives you might have in this area ? I also live on Totuskey Church road, and have known quite a few people since I moved here...Totuskey Church road used to come in at Haynesville, and by Totuskey Baptist Church, and on back to Highway 360 (Richmond Road). There was a new road built some years back, and the road was cut off, before you get to Highway 36o on the end of the road toward Village. Hope you can understand what I am saying...my husband has lived in this area all his life...
If you have some names, maybe we can help..Seems Martha Bryant was very close to some Headley folks, so maybe the Headley's here might know something to help you..
Do you know what Martha's house may have looked like ? Have a picture ?

I too am researching the Dowtin family; specifically the line in Warren County, NC. I am interested in obtaining information regarding the slaves owned by the Dowtin family.

Re: Dowtin Family

Heritage02 — 2006-08-12 19:17:58Z

I would be most interested in the information you offer to share. My email addy is Heritage2@aol.com. If you require my snail mail address, email me directly and I will send that to you.

My gg-grandparents adopted Lee Clemon Dowtin (1907-1959) in the very early 1900s and raised him as their own. How that came to be remains a mystery. I theorize that perhaps Lee was a child of one of my gg-grandparents (who were born in the 1840s) siblings. My gg-grandparents are Alfred Harris who was a slave of James Henry Harris(s) [his wives were Mary Davis, Sarah Noel Egerton, and Mary 'Mollie' Elizabeth Shearin] and Hester Nicholson who was a slave of Adkins Nicholson and Martha Jane Harris [she being a sister for James Henry Harris]. There is some evidence that slaves were passed around (sold) within families.

What township in Warren did the Dowtin family(ies) reside in?

You may be interested in knowing that a fellow researcher in Warren has favored me by requesting a Dowtin surname board at FamilyHistory.com (Ancestry). Hopefully that will begin to reveal and connect fellow researchers searching this surname. I encourage you to post there as well.

Am searching for information on plantation, "Crondall" of Moore Fauntleroy. Held first court of Lancaster Co. there in the mid 1600s. Also searching for "old place" of Thomas Waring thought to be nearby. Thomas Waring [c. 1655] was my ancestor. Thought to have come from England with Moore.

If you have any information, clues in your research, would very much appreciate it.

Eve, I'm working on the McAdam family also and can give you some leads, but no firm relationships. Lancaster Co. marriage records show a marriage of Charlotte McAdam Taylor and Robert Nutt, 23 Jan. 1815. Security James Towles. A NUTT researcher has Charlotte as the 3rd wife of Robert Nutt. I have wondered if Charlotte McAdam Taylor was the daughter of Thomas Taylor, who died Dec 19, 1814, Lanc.Co and Charlotte McAdams, daughter of Dr. Joseph McAdam, surgeon of the Continental Army. A bounty land warrant No 1088 was issued to my great great grandmother, Martha C. Taylor (wife of Thomas Taylor) and heirs of Joseph McAdam. I am unable to establish the relationship of Martha to Joseph McAdam. Also, I'm unable to identify the multiple Thomas Taylor's in the family. The TAYLOR, EWELL, McADAM, BALL, PAYNE,BROUN and CONWAY families married mostly within a small group. Joseph McAdam and John McAdam wills are both in Northumberland County, St. Stephens Parish and available from Heritage Quest Revolutionary War Records. Some of the Ewell's are in Prince Wm county.

Hello Edward, So sorry about just now getting to read this reply you posted. I am delighted to hear from you...I am hoping you might be able to help me on some family information. I would like to scan a picture to you of my grandfather, Earnest Wells, and some unknown family who I believe must be in the Wells, Tebow, or Farr lines. Do the names Beulah and Homer Farr mean anything to you? Due to a computer crash, I have a new email, if you would like to contact me privately. Again, so good to hear from you, and I will look forward to your reply.

I, too, am a descendant of Peter BRYANT and am trying to connect him to his family in Richmond County. According to his Revolutionary War pension file, Peter was born in Richmond County on March 4, 1760. His wife's name was Nancy _________. Peter returned to Virginia after the war and then came to Shelby County, KY. Peter and Nancy had eight children. He had an uncle named James and a brother named John who died in Garrard County, KY in 1833. Peter's eldest son, John BRYANT, married Nancy BAILEY in Shelby County, KY on December 22, 1812.

I do have a copy of Peter's will, but I have not been able to find a connection between him and my Bryant's, though there surely must be one. I do have information that the father of Rawleigh, Samuel and John was Rawleigh BRYANT, Sr. and a woman named Violet. Rawleigh Sr. also had a son, Joseph and a daughter, Winifred. Rawleigh Sr. was born 8 Sept. 1742 and was the son of Joseph BRYANT and Dorcas, who also had a child named Jeremiah. Dorcas was Joseph's 2nd wife. His 1st wife was Rebecca - son Jesse. His 3rd wife was Judith, children: Jonathon, Rebecca, Aga, Rachel, Robert, and Lettice.

Re: James Samuels

duryea20916 — 2006-12-15 07:23:21Z

James Samuels was the grandson of Joseph and Nancy Clark. His parents were: Alexander and Melisa Samuels. They are listed in the 1900 Census Report. His brother was Luke Samuels. Their father died and Melissa is living in home with Luke Samuels and his wife Edmonia. It is page 22 of the 1900 Census Report. They owned land in Haynesville, Virginia. I know this for a fact because Melisa Samuels was the sister of my great-grandmother, Georgianna Clark Conners.

Let's correspond as I am also researching this family. Where do you fit in? I have all the details on this family if you want more. In fact, I believe James Samuels is buried at Totuskey Baptist Church.

Re: David Austin

Gordchris — 2007-01-21 18:54:34Z

AM aware of a David Austin b1761, who wrote his will on 31 DEC 1798. He was my gggg grandfather. David's first son, Chapman Philip married Sarah Hammack in 1808, then married Sally's widowed sister, Nancy in 1815. Chapman's brothers were Orville, Thomas, David and Warner. Chapman's first son was John Chapman, who married a Sally Fallan in 1836, then married Lucie Thrift, my gggm, in 1847. Lucie's parents were George Henry and Mary Beale (Jones) Thrift, Farnham. In 1849, had my ggm, Mary Elizabeth. In 1856, they left North Farnham for the Columbus, OH area. In 1861, they covered wagonned to Lexington, Il (McLean County). John bought a 160 acre farm in Lawndale TWP, McLean CO, Illinois. John died in 1879 and is buried along with 30 other Austins and Thrifts (also from N Farnham, VA) in Fairview Methodist Cemetery, Belle Prairie TWP, Livingston CO, IL. I have ~120 relatives in same place.

Mary Elizabeth Austin married PJ Decker on 25 DEC 1866, Fairbury, IL. They had 13 children! Eventually, I resulted.

So I do not know much about David Austin, other than the lineage, I had understood they were English or Welsh, and the family arrived ~ 1690. My family tracer has gone back 10-12 generations on parts of family, but only to David for the Austins. Will ask her more about the Austins.

Will try again later! Gordon McCullough

Re: Richmond, VA in 1942

micrazy1 — 2007-05-02 14:30:57Z

Thank you SOOOOOOO much! =] and just in case, I am going to continue this post here also. Here is what I know...

Charles Wesley Howell, born 21 Mar 1886 in Decatur, Wise Co, TX, met and ran off to CO with my GGM, Jon H Harbin. They were married and had 5 children all in CO. 1st was born in 1916 and last was born in 1927. I found a WWI card and the 1920 Census that collaborated this information. Then in 1930 GGM and her children were in Eastland, TX living with GGM's mother. No Charles and he was never to be brought up again till a few years ago when I began this search. Now I have found WWII card from 1942 that has Charles Howell in Richmond City, Halifax Co, VA. He even mention's my GM with her married name and address as the "Person who will know your name and address". Obviously he kept up with my GM's life, but she had no idea of any of this. Address was listed as 103 A - East Main St. Richmond, VA. and employer as Times - Dispatch Newspaper - North 4th St.

If anyone can help me, I would be much obliged. I wish to find his final resting spot and present it to my GM before she passes. A daughter should know about her father. I am glad that after all these years of not knowing, he knew and was watching her quietly from afar. =}

Richmond, VA in 1942

micrazy1 — 2007-05-01 20:48:17Z

Can someone please help me? I have been searching for years for my grandmother's father who left when she was VERY young.

I have found bits and pieces and the last info was his WWII card and he even wrote her name (married) as his contact person. She knew nothing of this. He lists himself as being a writer for "Times Dispatch Newspaper" (they have no records at all of him) and living on East Main St in Richmond, VA.

Obviously I am not able to view 1940 Census and coming up short of a death record of any sort. Any suggestions where to look next?

My GM has taken a turn for the worse and I would really like to present the final piece of the puzzle before she passes.

There is an on line tree without documentation and author cannot be contacted that says a daughter of Edward Pridam was Mary Ann Pridam who married Sampson Moore b.abt.1740. My Sampson Moore had at least 4 children one of whom was Predham/Pridham/Prudham/Prudie Moore (in various records) and I am most interested to see how daughter Mary Ann Pridham is listed, if at all, in Edward Pridham's will.

We need some good search ideas here!

Also, I encourage the HOWELL researchers to help out.

I found Charles HOWELL in the 1920 census in Denver, CO with 2 children; but could not find him in 1910 or 1930 census...

There are 3 Charles HOWELLs and 1 Wesley HOWELL b 1886 in the SSDI, but none with a birthdate of 21 Mar. Their last know residences were in OR, OH, WA and MO. If your Charles left TX for CO by 1920 and was in VA in 1942, he could have been anywhere.

I wonder if, at age 57, he would have enlisted in the military in 1943... Many older men did.

You provided some good info - I'm sorry I couldn't find more. Perhaps others will know of different search ideas. Perhaps the Federal Cemeteries...

Do you know if descendants of this family went to Fauquier Co, VA? I'm looking for ancestors of Thomas PHILLIPS who married Mary JOHN - their daughter, Sarah, married James BARTLETT 26 Aug 1790 in Fauquier Co, VA. James's father, Thomas BARTLETT c1730-1806 was born in Richmond Co, VA, and probably married an Anne there about 1750, before moving to Fauquier Co, VA by 1768...

Some suggestions:

1. Include his name, any dates you know, and any locations you know in any future posts - someone my recognize the family.

2. Post under Richmond City (Halifax Co, VA), rather than Richmond County, VA - they're different.

3. Post also on GenForum; and post on the mail list which matches the SURNAME you're looking for.

Re: tarpley family of richmond co va

JRay38M — 2007-02-22 20:12:45Z

What'cha need to know darlin! I descend from the Tarpley line. I have no Peter (so far) in my database. I do have a Peter Daniel. Back then there were the Daniel, Tarpley, Travers, Chinn, Ball families that intermarried among others of course. I have ONE Peachy and that is Leroy Peachy who married Elizabeth Tarpley in 1759. I don't know anything more about him but have seen the Peachy name all over documents back then. Here is what I do have on Leroy AND you will notice the Griffin name tossed in there as well. Leroy was born 19 Jun 1736. He married Elziabeth Tarpley on 7 Nov. 1759.

In the Will of Travers Tarpley it mentions daughter Betty Peachey and son (son-in-law) William Travers Peachey. Don't know where Leroy came in or if this William Travers Peachey is Betty's husband or it could be his grandson as there is also a son mentioned Bartholomew McCarty which is the son of his daughter Winnifred and Billington McCarty.

The following will help us figure out the Peachy line.

Flood, Nicholas (Dr.) March, 1778. Daughter Katherine McCall, wife and 2 granddaughters; my granddaughters Katherine Flood McCall and Elizabeth McCall. Mentions the family arms on plate; nephew Nicholas Flood, son of brother William Flood, William Pinkard Flood eldest son of brother William Flood, Walter Flood Jones eldest son of Dr. Walter Jones and to William Jones another son; Elizabeth Flood 2d. daughter of brother William, Thomas Griffin Peachey, son of brother-in-law Col. William Peachey, William Peachey eldest son of Major Leroy Peachey, Leroy Peachey, his 2d son, William Travers Peachey 3d. son of Col. William Peachey.

I have no Griffin/Griffens sorry. Ok, there is an Elizabeth Griffin Williams named as "niece" to Lucy Tarpley to whom she left a mourning dress. Lucy was the sister to Elizabeth who married Leroy Peachy.

Elizabeth Tarpley was born 28 July 1738. She was the daughter of Maj. Travers Tarpley and Elizabeth Sydnor, my 6th great grandparents.

I'll do what I can and if I run into any names within documents I'll let ya know. Keep in touch. janean

Re: Bryant, Martha

cntryredhead — 2006-07-17 04:21:21Z

Eva,
My sister is the primary geneologist in the family. She has quite a bit information on our Bryant line. My dad is Martha Bryant's great grandson. He lives in Farnham. I know Martha's husband was William Carter Bryant. The children I know are: Georgianna, Melville, Octavia, Solon, and Letcher,. I believe there was one more child, but not sure of name. William and Martha divorced in 1878. The youngest children lived with William. We do know Martha was close to some Headley's. She left Jeter Headley land in her will with the agreement she be buried on the property. The only Headley I know of is the one who drove my children's bus the year before last. We have driven down Totuskey road several times trying to figure out which house was hers. We have a map that my sister received from a gentleman doing geneology. His father (I believe) drew the map from memory back in the 80's and had Martha's house on it. We tried to use that, but with so many new houses on the road, it is hard to decipher which could have been hers. We believe the land is now owned by the Kings according to plats from the Court House. I've only lived in the area 4 years and still meeting people in the area. My sister checks the message board daily. I will advise her to send you more accurate information than I can provide. Like I said, she has notebooks of information on our Bryant line.
Thanks for the information.

She married William Carter Bryant whom she divorced in 1878 Martha died in 1913 when she was in her 80's. I apologize for being so vague, however, I'm not the "chief" geneologist in the family. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Sarah Elizabeth, the 4th, was my wife's grandmother. These families all lived in the Northern Neck in their early years.

POW/MIA Korean War, Richmond Co.BOWEN

raysestak126 — 2007-04-23 01:15:29Z

I am searching for the family of a soldier who was killed in the Korea War. When he entered service he gave Richmond County VA as his home of record. His remains were never recovered.

Soldier: CHARLES ELLSWORTH BOWEN
Born: June 26, 1932, Caucasian
Date of loss: July 15, 1953, Missing in Action (MIA)

When the Korean War ended the enemy never returned or accounted for over 8,000 of our servicemen. They died in their hands. That was over 50 years ago. Since that time DNA has been perfected and also they are recovering remains in North Korea. Our government is obligated to return those remains to the proper family. DNA samples have been obtained from most of the families of these missing soldiers. For various reasons some families have not been located. There are 81 families in Virginia that have not been located. There is one family from Richmond County that has not been located.

When the remains are recovered and identified they will be returned to the family for proper burial. I am just an old (76 years) Combat Veteran out of the Korean War and thankful that I did return. I consider this a very noble cause and I hope that you can help in some way to find this family. For more information on the project you may go to http://www.jpac.pacom.mil/. My part in the program is to match up the lost families with the proper agency.

I will be grateful for any assistance in locating this family.

I have a Milly Stott marrying Thomas Winstead in 1788. He was the son of Samuel & Winnifred Winstead. Possibly a first marriage for your Milly.

"Thomas Winstead & Milly Stott Jan 9 1788 by Thomas Davis, clerk, rector of St. Stephens, Northumberland Co., VA."

I am looking for information on Thomas Phillips birth 10 27 1684. His mother was Elizabeth Tobias and his father was John Phillips.I am looking for who he married and the names of his children.

Re: Thomas Phillips

CarenMcLemore — 2007-07-29 01:23:35Z

I do not have very much information on Thomas Phillips.I do not know who he married but I do thank he had a son named William who married Harriett Horne.Thomas was born in N.farnham Parish Richmond Co Virginia.The family of William Phillips migrated to North Carolina in about 1730.

Re: Thomas Phillips

CarenMcLemore — 2007-08-01 14:50:37Z

My William Phillips was in Anson County North Carolina.Some of William's Children moved into Wilkes County Georgia about 1773.He was first married to Ann ? and then to Harriett Horne. I believe he married Ann in Virginia and then married Harriett Horne in North Carolina.

Re: Bethany Baptist Church Cemetery

jjj001 — 2007-08-19 23:25:25Z

Good evening. That would be great to get photos of the stones, though I've been told they don't exist at the cemetery. Perhaps since you are members, you'd be able to ask if plot information exists for the cemetery. That way, even if there weren't stones I'd have a copy proving their burial there.

If this is not available, then perhaps a photo of the cemetery area (scene shots) would be excellent (I keep these too).

Thanks so much for your response.

The individuals I know are buried there (from death certificates) are:

1)Leroy Owen Lewis (buried 4 January, 1956)
2)Mary Catherine Headley AKA Lewis (bur. 25 July, 1939)
3)Mary Alice Lewis (bur. 23 October, 1960)
4)John Addison Thrift (buried ?, died 30 November, 1907)

Re: Bryant, Martha

2006-07-16 03:41:03Z

Eva,
Martha Bryant was married to William Carter Bryant. He was one of the founding members of Totuskey Baptist Church. They divorced in the 1890's I believe. They had several children, among them my grandfather, Edgar F. Bryant. My sister and I have been searching, unsuccesfully, for the last 8 years for Martha's final resting place. We have also been searching for William Carter's. His last known place of residency was Sharps. He lived next door to his daughter, Georgianna Hale. If you have any information on any of these names, I would appreciate any input you may have.
Thanks so much.

Re: Bryant, Martha

2006-07-16 03:26:34Z

Thank you so much! That is the Martha Bryant. With luck we found her death certificate and know our grandfather signed it. We have a very old map and researched the land last month trying to find the exact location where she is buried. We heard a few years ago she was moved to Totuskey Baptist Church, however, the church has no record of her burial. Do you know if this is true? Do you know of anyone who knows the exact location of the land she owned? Thank you for your help.

Thank you so much. That is the same Mr. Bartlett who owned our house. I have been trying to trace back land deeds to find out how old the house really is. The best that I can see is he purchased the land in 1918 and lived here until he died in 1962. He left this home to the Wheelers in his will.

Re: Marriage Willam Crow - Ann Woollard

2006-05-10 00:56:03Z

Do you think that it would be possible that her name was Nancy Ann or Ann Nancy. The reason I ask is on the Deeds the listing is William & wife Nancy. The first child of William & "Nancy" was Mary Ann Jasper [Jesper]. Quite a coincindence.
Yes, I would like the children of Sarah & James Yager. Yager's are also connected to the Crow family.
Do you know where I could obtain a copy of the Woollard/Woolard book?

Re: Marriage Willam Crow - Ann Woollard

According to the Woollard/Woolard book by Janes K.
Wollard, Ann Woollard was born 11-9-1769-Richmond
Co., Va. Her siblings were: John Woollard, b 7-28-1763-Rmnd Co., Va. - - Elizabeth Woollard, b 10-4-1765???-Richmond Co., - - Samuel Woollard - - William Jesper Woollard - -Eleanor Woollard - - Mary Ann Woollard - - Hannah Woollard - - & Sarah Woollard, b 2-11-1778-Va, d 1820-21-Harrison Co. Va.
Sarah's spouse was James Yager. They had 9 children. If you are interested in them, I could type them. None of the other siblings are listed as having any descendents.

Picture of some Newland Church of Christ Members - Can you help?

2006-05-02 19:05:57Z

I am attaching a picture of some members of the Newland Church of Christ standing in the front after services. This was taken during the early 1970's. I know who some of them are. I used to know who they all were, but never wrote them down. Now I can't remember. Can anyone help identify them? The ones I do know (mainly children) are:
Dave Belfield (in the back - his head is bent down), possibly Kermit France, Thelma France, Steve Marks, Keith Packett, Dee Balderson, Gwen Packett, Deborah Balderson, Lois Balderson, Judy Balderson, Lindon Faull, Mary Faull, Clifton Balderson, Gary France, Debbie France, possibly the man standing in the back is Jerry France??

Re: Grandmammy Swamp, near Newland

2006-05-02 18:52:14Z

Oops. I mean to attach a different topographical map. This one shows the intersection. The other one I attached is cut off before the Newland intersection.

Re: Grandmammy Swamp, near Newland

2006-05-02 18:45:13Z

Jim,
I am attaching a picture taken in the early 1970's. It was taken from our parsonage looking across the fields towards the Newland intersection where you state your ancestors lived. The name of my jpeg file is "WarsawHouse" but that's because we often said we lived in Warsaw since that was the closest town. The intersection was just beyond the house in the background. I think there were a couple of other houses on the other side and then a small gravel pit or mound right at the intersection where the Newland sign was located.

I noticed that you mention a Settle in your family tree. My best friend was Debbie Settle and she lived on a farm quite a ways further on down the road after you turn left at the intersection. The Settle farm was way back off the road down a dirt lane (probably close to a mile off the road). Debbie used to tell me stories about a legend that a Settle had buried gold treasure on the property, but that no one had ever found it.

I am also attaching a topographical map that shows Grandmammy Swamp and the intersection at Newland. My house was the little black square at the dip in the road going towards the right. There is a brown circle there that indicates that there is a hill there. Our house was built on that little hill.

Re: Grandmammy Swamp, near Newland

2006-05-02 18:25:19Z

I just realized that you can attach pictures to these postings. I have a few pictures of Newland when we lived there. So I will try to attach them. There is one of the Newland Church of Christ ca early 1970's before it was rebuilt. One of church members in front of it after church one sunday during that time (including my brother and sister). Also I am including one picture looking toward the Newland intersection from the front of our house across the fields. I hope they attach correctly.

Re: Grandmammy Swamp, near Newland

2006-05-02 18:17:46Z

I took our correspondence, added some maps and some pictures that I have from when we lived in Newland and created a file. If you would like a copy, let me know and I will send it to you.

Re: Joseph Bryant Lewis

2006-05-01 10:42:00Z

Hi -- I just checked and I am wrong about Judith Dodson. She was the wife of Francis Rock.

I will keep you in mind, though, as I do other research.

I have the book "The Marriage License Bonds of Northumberland County Virginia From 1783 to 1850", but I did not see Joseph Bryant and wife Judith listed there.

Re: Joseph Bryant Lewis

2006-04-29 21:14:32Z

Hi --

There do appear to be two men in the same family named Joseph Bryant Lewis - one is the uncle of the other. This I have according to a chart given me by Preston Haynie at Northumberland Historical Society. The one you have mentioned appears to be the son of William Lewis Sr. and Agatha ___. Their son Joseph Bryant Lewis (b. 1794) married Louise Stott in 1817 according to this chart.

The Joseph Bryant Lewis who was my third great grandfather is the son of William Lewis, Jr.(d. 1847) and Frances Bryant (d. 1841), the daughter of Joseph Bryant. This William Lewis Jr. was brother of your Joseph Bryant Lewis, according to this chart.

Joseph Bryant Lewis (B. 1810) had several sons, including one that he named after himself, Joseph Bryant Lewis, Jr.

I also have a chart sent by someone I met through posting that takes their paternal lineage back to the 1400s in England. Though I cannot verify all the information, I will be happy to send it to you if you'd like.

By the way, I believe that Frances Bryant's mother may have been Judith Dodson, but I need to double-check this.

Great to connect with you. I have met other descendants of this line and have seen a portrait of my Joseph Bryant Lewis. I have a will from their ancestor Willoughby Lewis of Northumberland. Happy to share whatever you like.

My Joseph Bryant Lewis married Elizabeth Rock and Margaret Luttrell. I did not have the other marriage referenced as his first marriage, but I have seen some reference to a third marriage and that name looks unusual but familiar.

Re: Joseph Bryant Lewis

2006-04-29 16:47:24Z

I have a Joseph Bryant Lewis, b.1 Sept 1810, who married;
1. Drance Narce
2. Elizabeth Rock-1827
3. Margaret Luttrell-1868

Joseph was born to William Lewis and Frances Bryant.

Re: Grandmammy Swamp, near Newland

2006-04-28 02:08:38Z

All of the last names are familiar. I can't place faces with names but I am sure most are still here. I know Neil Connelly who lives 2 doors down from Newland Church of Christ. He has a daughter who may be the same age as you. Her name is Karen. I will ask about the names you mentioned. It's no trouble. I love researching and digging up history.

Re: Grandmammy Swamp, near Newland

2006-04-27 19:59:01Z

Thank you very much for your time and trouble. My father was Franklin Faull. He was minister of the Newland Church of Christ for approximatley 5 or 6 years in the early 1970's. We moved there from Northborough, Massachusetts when I was 8 years old and then later moved to Fredericksburg, Virginia when I was going into the 7th grade. My friends in Newland were Debbie Settle, daughter of Edwin(?) and Lucille Settle, Gwen Packett, daughter of Mitchell and June Packett, Dee and Judy Balderson who lived down from Hall's Store on the right hand side on a farm. We knew a lot of France family as many of them were members of the church. Also, the Marks family who lived on the curve past the church. Mary Connelly lived on a farm the opposite direction from the Newland intersection. I can remember her inviting my family for dinner. Do any of these names ring any bells?

Re: Grandmammy Swamp, near Newland

2006-04-26 11:51:21Z

First let me give you my BELL's

John Bell m. Hannah Unknown and had Mary Keisha Bell b. 20 Nov. 1736 Orange Co. NOW, I'm still trying to straighten this out with the Meadows list but she was either Mary Bell or Keisha Bell. Believe they were two different people. Anyway she married Francis Meadows Sr. Their first daughter was named Mary so my guess her name was Mary Bell.

I also have Nancy Bell who married Hance Hamilton who was born 1774. His folks came to Charleston SC.

Also, in relation to first person I have a William Bell who married in 1758 to Francis Meadows b. 1721 Essex Co.

Now for Stephens/Stevens

I have Daniel Stephens that married Lucy Tarpley. Lucy was born circa 1680/90. They had daughter Lucia Stephens who was born abt. 1740's married William Payne 1760. She also m. William George.

I have Elizabeth Mosley who had married a Thomas Stevens. She then married Rawleigh Travers 1650. Richmond area.

Then much later I have in Jefferson Co. IL Mary Stevens who married Thomas Crosnoe.

John Long or his daughter Johanna, born in Richmond in 1865

2005-12-27 01:41:05Z

According to her obituary, my great grandmother, Joanna Blanche Long, was born on October 16, 1865 in Richmond, VA. Her father was John B. Long, birthplace unknown, and her mother was Joanna Kennedy, who was born in Ireland.

However, The state of Virginia has repoted to me that they do not have a record of the birth of Johanna B. Long for the years 1853-1866.

If I cannot find Johanna's birth certificate, I am hoping to find a record of her parent's marriage, although I do not know that they were married in Virginia.

I will appreciate advice or suggestions.

Feb 1794) and Sarah Marks (b. est. 1750). John Crask Sr. (d. Feb 1794) was the son of William Crask (d. 1744) and Rebecca Thornton. While John's wife Sarah Marks (b. est 1750) was the daughter of John Marks Sr. (b. Apr 1791 Richmont Co., Va.) and Hannah Eidson (b. est. 1722 d. aft. 1791).

question about the headright system

2005-07-21 11:32:32Z

Hi,

I have an ancestor, John Dalton, who claimed headright for himself and several others, as follows:

2 March 1703/4 Headright: John Dalton granted Certificate according to Act of Assembly for 250 ac land for importing five persons into the colony: John Dalton, Arthur Maguire, John Byrd, John Lynsey, Anne Samuell. Dalton assigned the right to Capt. Charles Smith (Certificate issued 17 Mar 1703/4)

My understanding of headright is that it was a grant of land as an incentive for paying the expenses of immigration. My question is, does this prove that John Dalton was from outside the Colonies? My reason for asking is that there is a great controversy about John Dalton's origins, and one of the theories is that he was from New Hampshire. Does anyone know if Virginia headright law allowed headright claims if someone was entering Virginia from another colony, or only if they came from Europe?

Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

cheers,

Dew family of Richmond

2005-07-18 16:48:42Z

I'm looking for information on the family of Andrew Dew and his wife, Flora Price.

They had a daughter, Ann, b. ca. 1714 in North Farnham Parish, Richmond, VA, who I suspect is the Ann "Du" who married Morris Williams in Baltimore, MD around 1750.

I understand that one of Andrew & Flora's sons, Thomas Dew, ended up in Baltimore, which makes me think I might be on the right track.

Does anyone know anything more about Ann Dew, or anything which might connect to the Williams family?

Marriage Record Look-up ABT. 1882

2005-07-08 01:53:18Z

I'm wanting to see if there would be someone that could check for a Marriage Record at the Virginia State Archives
for me.
I'm not certain on whether all marriage records for the state can be found at the State Archives,just thought I'd give this a shot.
I'm trying to locate the Marriage Record for my Gr.Grandparents,James Floyd McDaniel and Louisa (Lide/Lyde) Murphy (Murphey).
James Floyd McDaniel,was born in Rockbridge County on
May 1,1853. He is a son of Samuel & Mary Ann (Wilkinson)
McDaniel.
Louisa (Lide/Lyde) Murphy was suppose to have been born on May 2nd or 3rd,1863 in Upshur County,W.Virginia. As far as I can attain from family records I have located,her maiden name was " Murphy/Murphey ". Her father was to have been
William Murphy. Her mother was to have been Sarah Tenny/Tenney. This is another problem I have,I haven't been able to pace a William Murphy with a Sarah Tenny/Tenney.

But for now,I just want to try and locate the Marriage Record for James & Louisa McDaniel. I have added the other first
names of Lide/Lyde that I have found her listed on family records. The first name,Lide,is what is on her tombstone.

The possible year of marriage for James & Louisa McDaniel is " 1882 ". But this year isn't sealed in stone either. The date could vary up to a couple of years in either direction.
A search has been done for me at Rockbridge County,
Virginia,their marriage record isn't there. It could still be in
Virginia somewhere.

I have searched for this Marriage Record for about 2 years now,still hunting.
If it could be found,I'll be glad to pay for cost of the copy plus
postage,etc.

Thanks for Any Help That Can Be Provided !!

Re: SANDERS OF RICHMOND COUNTY, VA.

2005-06-08 01:53:25Z

Jim...

I've only been able to track James C. Sanders as far back as the 1840 Census -

Taken 1840 for Virginia, Richmond County, Page 2. Listed as James C. Sanders with 3 males under 5, 1 female 5 & under 10, and 1 female 30 & under 40.

The 3 males under 5 would have been -

Lemuel M. Sanders born abt 1834/5

James H. Sanders born abt 1837

Miskel A. Sanders born Jan 1838 (my 2nd Great-Grandfather).

The 1 female 5 & under 10 would have been -

Mary Ann Sanders born abt 1832

and the female listed as 30 & under 40 would have been James' wife Sallie (Sarah) Hinson.

It was Eva who informed me of the James and Sallie connection which I'll always be greatful for.

As far as who and why Elizabeth Bartlett (age 45) was listed in the Joseph Sanders household in 1850 is pure speculation (definitely on my part).

Her maiden name could have been Bowen which would make her an older sister (or Aunt) to Mary Bowen.

She could have been a Sanders who had married a Bartlett.

Mary Bowen's marriage to Joseph Sanders could have been her second marriage - meaning that she was a Bartlett who married a Bowen and then a Sanders.

You would know better than I my friend.

Dear Mr. Palmer,
Do you have access to those NFP records? If so and you don't mind, I'd dearly appreciate a look up in them for any records relating to the following Green family
Isaac Green, wife unknown, children: Robert, George, John, Moses, Sarah Ann (married a Norman) , Alse(married a Lansdale) and Priscilla- she married my Reuben Ross about 1759/1761 unknown where. Reuben Ross's parents and date and place of birth unknown at the moment.
Thanks so much for any help.

I only have Thomas but there probably were more children

Re: Stone Family

2005-05-30 13:24:23Z

Michael,

I know that your reply was not for me, but what I am trying to accomplish is finding the parents of my Thomas.

I know he was born about 1720 in a location unknown to me at this time. He died in Prince William County Virginia in 1791 (my source is his will).

I was researching records trying to find possible parents to Thomas as there is a hitch in the will books in Virginia. They have record of several wills that are possible fathers to my Thomas but the actual wills are missing, all they have are the index.

I posted this message in hopes of finding that this William was a possible father or relative of my Thomas.

Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Stone Family

2005-05-30 11:25:39Z

Hello. Could you please tell me the source that you are using? I'd like to check a number of the things reported.

I may be able to provide you quite a bit about your Stones (the Richmond County generations). William Stone and Sarah moved to Old Rappahannock County (later Richmond County and Essex County - two sides of the Rappahannock River - the county was divided in the 1690s) from Gloucester County, VA. Unfortuntately, nearly all of the Gloucester County records were burned.

I'll have to check my records, but my memory is that they did have a son named Joshua. There were three families of Stones living in Richmond County in the early 1700s, but the info you've provided links your family to the same one from which I'm descended.

Again, please provide the source of the material you're using so that I can check. The parentage of William and the maiden name of his wife have long been an unsolved mystery, but there are several theories floating around, and I'd like to read your source to see if it reveals anything.

Thank you. Feel free to e-mail me directly at SCMcDanielFamily@aol.com. BTW, I currently live in Essex County, VA just across the river from Totuskey Creek (a very broad creek like small rivers in many places) where William and Sarah lived with their children on their 1,000 acres.

Best,

Michael

George William SHOEMAKER, b-30 Mar 1840, Baltimore d-1912 Mobile, AL

2005-05-25 22:20:23Z

Am searching for this ancestor's parents and pre-Civil War history. He was born in Baltimore, but enlisted with the 1st Virginia Infantry in Richmond, VA, in Mid-April, 1861, so I believe he may have already been living in Richmond when the war broke out. I have the regimental history series book on this company and it says they kicked a lot of Marylanders out when they reorganized in 1863, but not him, so that leads me to the conclusion that he was already living in Richmond and had friends/family there by 1861.

I have a lot of this man's life reconstructed post-Civil War, but he is a brick wall from his birth to April 21, 1861! Is it possible, and where would I look, to see when he made his way to or lived in Richmond in those pre-Civil War years? I can't find him in Richmond in the 1860 census, there are other Shoemakers, but I can't tie them together. I don't know where else to look or what resources there may be to find this info in the Richmond area, so would greatly appreciate any and all information. Thanks very much!

The church is located in Richmond Co.,Va. which is not near Richmond,Va. This is the old Rappahanack Co.,Va. located between the Rappahanack River and the Potomac River in Eastern Virginia. the old church is still standing and you can still see the orginal Silver Service that the Queen of England gave to the church if you visit the caretaker just down the road from the church. You might be lucky like I was and get a copy of the orginal Parish records with the Birth,Death, Marriage and other records in it.

Re: Lewis Pugh married Ann Webster

Yes, we're talking about the same Lewis Pugh. I have gone over every record from Old Rappahannock Co. and Richmond County and I cannot find any credible evidence that Lewis Pugh married Ann Webster. If you have any, I would very much like to see it. I have a feeling that someone put this on the Internet and it has been accepted without checking the sources. Of course, it's always possible that I missed a crucial piece of evidence.

Re: Lewis Pugh married Ann Webster

Re: Stone Family

2004-12-04 22:59:37Z

Hi, Jim,

A lot is known about this William Stone and his wife, Sarah. Let me know what you've found out and what you want to know. What we don't know (unless someone is holding out on sources that have alluded the rest of the serious researchers - which is my hope) is his parentage.

All we know is that when he bought the land on Totuskey Creek he was listed in the deed as "Planter, Gloucester County, VA" which is the county just two counties to the east/southeast of Old Rappahannock County. There was a dispute over his will, so there is quite a bit on him in the papers of ORC (now in the Essex County courthouse) and on later transactions which fell in Richmond County (where Totuskey Creek is located). I live right across the river from Totuskey Creek and often take my boat up there to visit and try to pinpoint the 1,000 acres 'plantation'. He also owned a couple of hundred acres across the river on Hoskins Creek - near modern day Tappahannock, Va, but he sold that in about 1700.

William and Sarah and their children and grandchildren belonged to North Farnham Parish (Anglican), and the parish church still standing in great condition was built in the 1730s.

My branch of the family left Richmond County in the 1740s for Amelia County, VA, then central NC, the by the American Revolution they were in Low Country, SC (Georgetown County, later Williamsburg County).

I hope this helps and is of interest. Please let me know if you have more info or if there is anything else I can assist with.

Michael

Re: Stone Family

2004-12-04 22:37:39Z

Thanks. While internet searching for genealogical information is enjoyable and easy, it is typically devoid of references and sources - the key to accurate genealogy.

This Stone line is of interest to many people, and if there are sources out there that confirm the parentage, birthdate, etc of William Stone, husband of Sarah, who died in Richmond County, then many of us would appreciate seeing those references. Otherwise, the information is confusing and not helpful and it perpetuates "bad" genealogy and is counter to the intention of the field.

I'm very curious to know if there is any evidence that William Stone in this string of posts was born in Maryland in the 1660s. To date I have not seen any such evidence. The only thing we know about this William Stone prior to his arrival in Old Rappahannock County (later Richmond and Essex - where he owned property on both sides of the Rappahannock River) is that he was living in Gloucester County, Virginia and was a "Planter" there. Gloucester is two counties further east/southeast from Old Rappahannock County, and it was one of the original counties of 17th C. Virginia - thus one of the places where many early immigrants began. The Maryland connection, while very appealing, just hasn't to my knowledge been proven - but I'd love to see any evidence.

Thank you.

Committed to excellence and accuracy in Genealogy.

Re: Stone Family

2004-12-04 17:27:35Z

Jim, I'd like to know if you have any references for the connections you've made from William Stone (died Richmond County) to birthdate and place in Maryland, his parentage, etc. We know that this same William Stone purchased land in Old Rappahannock County (later divided into Richmond County and Essex County) in the 1670s and was then referred to as William Stone, Planter, Gloucester County. The birthdate you site of 1665 and location of Maryland do not match what we know about this William. He would not have been over 14 years old at the time of this land purchase, so it is highly unlikely that this is the same person. There were numerous Stone families living in Tidewater Virginia and Maryland at the time, and the name William is common.

We'd all love to connect the William of Richmond County with the prominent Stone family of Maryland, but I have yet to see any proof of that connection.

Please provide any proof or sources that you may have.

Thank you.

Re: HAMMOND from Richmond > SC > GA

Thank you! Do you know anything more about Charles Hammonds, father of William W. Hammond? I've tried to find out where he was born, and the only clue I've been able to come up with is that two of Charles' sons stated in later census data that their father was born in MASS. Have you heard anything in that regard? I had always assumed that this line came from VA into SC/NC and then into GA.
How do you connect to this line?
I also think that William W.'s middle name was Washington. His son, Boswell B. Hammond, named a son James Washington. I believe the middle name was for William.

Hi, Joey and Michelle,

I would like to find a straight line male descendant of John and Elizabeth "Tobias" Phillips of Richmond County VA to join the Phillips Worldwide DNA project and have his DNA tested. We already have one descendant in the project, but it would be good to have a second descendant to confirm the line. There are no other Phillips men in the project who match his DNA, and we now have about 75 participants. The DNA test is painless and only involves swabbing the inside of the cheek with a special toothbrush or scraper. The name of the participant is never published, thereby maintaining his privacy and confidentiality. If you know someone who is a male descendant, please let me know. Thanks.

I found this on another message board. Does anyone have information about the tie between Absolum Hammond and John Hill. I also have been trying to tie the Northumberland Hill family to the Richmond Hill family. Here's the message:

Absolom Hammonds of Russell/Scott Co, VA, was probably the son of Absolom Hammond born 26 August 1724 in Northumberland Co, the son of William Hammond. His parents had died before his third birthday, at which point he was apprenticed out to John Hill until he turned 21 to learn the coopers trade (OB 1719-29, 259). Despite much effort, I have yet to find any connection between the early (ante ca. 1750) Hammond's of Richmond County and the early Hammond's of Northumberland and Lancaster.

I am looking for information on my gggggg grandparents William Clark and second wife Winifred (last name not known). They lived in Richmond Co., VA though his will was filed in Lancaster Co., VA in 1750 (named spelled Clerk in will). They would have lived in N. Farnham Parish in the early 1700's and maybe even back into the 1690's. Any info is appreciated. I descend through their son Oliver who lived and died in Culpeper Co., VA (d. 1791). Most of Oliver's children ended up in Spartanburg Co., SC. by 1800.

Also, what was the migration pattern of the Northern Neck people back then? Did they enter northern VA directly from Europe via the Chesapeake Bay or did most of them move south from New England, i.e. Rhode Island, Connecticutt, Mass. etc.

BRANCH Families in Richmond

elainecrocker35 — 2005-02-11 23:27:08Z

I have been told that there are still relatives of my Branch ancestors living in Richmond now. I woluld like very much to hear from any African Americans who might have a conection to persons with the surname of BRANCH from Chesterfield County.My great- grandparents were Phillip and Nellie Branch. I believe that my great great-grandparents were Aaron and Caroline Branch, and my grandparents were Walter andOctavia Graham Branch. I also have Branches on my grandmother's side of the family. My maternal great-grandmother was Lucy Branch Graham. her parents were Jordan and Elizabeth Branch.

If your last name is BRANCH, and you are African American, and you think that you may have a connection to Chesterfield County, please contact me at crockerel@aol.com. If you know any Branches who may be in any of those catagories, please tell them to contact me.

Thank you for all the help that I know you are going to give me.---E.L. Crocker

I am a direct decendant of this Henry Willis. I am also looking to find some definite answers to who his parents were and where they lived or came from. I see that you posted this message several years ago. Have you had any luck with your search? If so I'd be interested to find out the info on Henry or any of his wives. My relationship to Henry is through his ypungest son Andrew.

Re: CARTER FAMILY OF RICHMOND COUNTY, VA.

dfletcher — 2005-01-14 02:39:29Z

Eva...

I'm currently working with the John S. Carter family, also of Richmond Co., VA. I noticed that on their 1860 census entry, Miskel Carter was living with them as a laborer. I wondered if John S. Carter were Miskel's uncle?

My interest in the family is the wife of John S. Carter, rendered both as Ann, in 1850, and Nancy, in 1860. I can't locate the family at all in 1870, and wonder if John S. and Ann/ Nancy Carter were both dead? I believe this Ann/ Nancy Carter to have been Lydia Ann Fletcher, daughter of George and Catharine Fletcher of Richmond (city), VA. She was recorded as marrying a John S. Carter there in 1830 (Henrico Co. marriage bonds). It's not a stretch to see this John S. Carter as having come to Richmond City for whatever reason, marrying Lydia Ann Fletcher, and then returning to "Carter Country" up in Richmond Co. Any thoughts or knowledge of John S. Carter?

Looking for Drake / Packett info

KarenBerry27 — 2004-11-28 17:24:14Z

Henry Packett married (second wife) Susan F Drake on Dec 28, 1854 in Richmond County at Totuskey Mill. On their marriage certificate, her parents are listed as Richard and Ann Drake. I would like to know the maiden name of this Ann.
Susan must have died only a few years into the marriage. Would like to know when she passed away.
While visiting Richmond county, I found a Richard Fendall Drake was born to James and Jane Drake. Would like to know if these 2 Richard Drakes are indeed one in the same. I believe this Richard F Drake was born in the 1790's. Any info on these families is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

Need help on records in early 1700 in Richmond County.

San66Zenger — 2006-05-10 00:05:27Z

Hello,
Are there any records online on Richmond County in the early 1700s where I could look for the name AILLS or derivatives thereof? Any recommendation would be appreciated. If there's a place that lookups can be done to search for AILLS in Richmond Co., I would be most grateful.
Brothers, WILLIAM and WALKER AILLS married sisters, ELIZABETH and MARY SHACKLEFORD in Spotsylvania Co., VA. The sisters parents were RICHARD SHACKLEFORD and MARY ANN LEWIS. MARY ANN LEWIS was the daughter of ZACHARY LEWIS and MARY WALLER LEWIS in Spotsylvania Co., VA. The sisters were born about 1750.
I can find no record whatsoever of the AILLS brothers in Spotsysvania so I would like to check other counties for records. AILLS is variously spelled as ALE, AIL, AYLES, AILLIS and other variations.
I would be thrilled to find records on AILLS in Richmond Co., VA in the early 1700s.
Thank you for helping. I will be happy to share information I now have.

Re: Stone Family

txyllwrs — 2005-05-28 03:05:45Z

Michael, maybe you can help me with my Stone line. Supposedly my line moved from Richmond County, Virginia to Warren County, Kentucky. Matilda Stone who was born December 31,1810 in Warren County, and married Archibald Kifer, Sept. 9, 1835, was the daughter of Samuel Stone. He and a Daniel and John are all listed in the Early Tax Lists for this county. Samuel was born probably around 1779. Samuel's father is supposed to be Benjamin Stone, born September 26.1747 in Virginia and died in Cadiz, Harrison Co., Ohio. His father Josias, was born October 26, 1716 in Richmond Co. His father is supposed to be Josias or Joshua, born about 1685 - 1689, and his parents are William & Sarah. In this same source it says William's parents were John and Sarah Fleet Stone.
I have no facts to back up any of this info, except for Matilda and her father's name being Samuel. If you have any info that could help me proof this line, it would be greatly appreciated. you can e-mail at the address above. Thank you Ellen

Re: George Williams

CharlesWilliams1947 — 2006-01-22 06:07:51Z

Sorry. Ours may be among the hundreds --probably thousands -- of entirely unrelated Williams lines. The same is true among Jones, Evans and other predominantly Welsh surnames. When the English forced the Welsh to drop their traditional patronymic naming practices, many adopted the name of their father (William, John, Evan....)as a fixed surname. Very frustrating when you're starting out, but it does force you to adopt good genealogical practice and gather supporting evidence of relationships among like-named possible ancestors.

Col. Francis Lightfoot Lee

DianeCarringtonBradford — 2006-01-20 00:53:40Z

Col. Francis Lightfoot Lee (1734-1797)of Richmond County inherited a plantation in Cameron Parish (Loudoun Co.) which he owned in the 1760s and 1770s, and until his death in 1797. Does anyone know if any records or papers about that plantation still exist? If so, where are they located and are they searchable?

Does anyone have a copy of Col. Lee's Will or estate settlement papers he/she is willing to share or know where they might be obtained?

Are any of his descendants still living in Richmond County, VA?

My 4th gr grandfather, [Rev.] Timothy Carrington, appeared on the Tithables List in 1768-1770 as living on Col. Lee's plantation in Cameron Parish and was listed right below Col.Lee's listing in 1771. Timothy also served as a witness on a number of land records executed by or for Col. Lee in Loudoun Co. in the early 1770s, indicating Timothy held a position of trust with Col. Lee or might have been related to Col. Lee in some way.

I am seeking additional information on this relationship to learn 1) why Timothy lived on Col. Lee's plantation; 2) if he just worked on the plantation or if was there was a family relationship with Col. Lee or with someone else who resided on the plantation; and 3) if there was any indication of Timothy's parentage, birth date, and/or birth place.

Timothy married Winnifred King (daughter of John and Mary Osborne King of Loudoun Co.) in 1774, moved his family to NC about 1779-1780, then on to Madison Co., GA by 1786, where he became an ordained Primitive Baptist minister and lived until his death in 1822.

Rawleigh, Samuel & John

phannon4 — 2006-02-16 12:47:11Z

Looking for parents of Rawleigh, Samuel & John BRYANT - brothers. Samuel was born 12 April 1766 and died 14 April 1858 in Shelby CO., KY. Rawleigh also died, 1815 in Shelby Co., KY. John stayed in Richmond, Co. - or at least that is where he was in December 1814 when Rawleigh wrote his will. Rawleigh, John & Thomas BRYANT are found in Moratico Twp., Richmond Co., VA 1790 Census. Samuel & Thomas BRYANT are found in 1800 in Shelby Co., KY Census. The 1810 Census yields Betsy, John, John, Joseph, Rawleigh, Thadeus, Thomas & William BRYANT in Richmond Co., VA; and Peter, Samuel & Thomas BRYANT in Shelby Co., KY. I know from Rawleigh Bryant's will that Samuel (of Shelby Co., KY) & John (of Richmond Co., VA) are his brothers; are Thomas and Peter also brothers? Who are their parents? I also have will of Samuel BRYANT and other info from Shelby County.

I am looking for more information about my great-grandfather's family. My great-grandfather is George Gray Archer. His father is Thacker Archer and his mother is Virginia "Jincy" Gray Archer. I believe that Thacker's father was a Confederate Major named Robert P Archer and that his mother was an enslaved women (Black or Native American) named Ammy (sp?). I have been unable to find any information about Robert P Archer.
