BUCKINGHAM COUNTY VIRGINIA***Researching all the above surnames in this County along with: CARROLL / GOODE / GUNTER / HARDIMAN / JAMERSON / JOHNSON / MAXEY / RAGLAND / SIMPSON / STATON / STINSON / TERRY / TINDALL / TURNER / VIA / WILLIAMS / WOOTEN / WOOTON / WOOTTEN (all spellings). I've been researching these families and working on Buckingham for about 12 years now. Looking to share and exchange information on these families. The major quanity of my data is on the POE (all spellings); RAGLAND; TAPSCOTT; & WOOTTON (all spellings) families. I've had two books published on this County: Lost Marriages of BUCKINGHAM COUNTY Virginia, & BUCKINGHAM COUNTY Virginia 1860 Federal Census.

Adcock: Buckingham Co., Virginia. I am searching for information on James Adcock who married Rachel Moorman in North Carolina (?Anson/Richmond Co.) in about 1780 and died in 1789. They had a son Travis who is my direct ancestor. There are other Adcocks from Buckingham County, Virginia who settled in Anson Co, NC. I suspect that my James is one of them also. Does anyone know if John Adcock & Elizabeth Carter had a son James? I list their children as John, Carter, Edward, Henry, Joseph & Phoebe.

I am searching for Margarett Branch, born I think
around 1861 in Tenn. Parents may have come from N.C.
Later moved to Ark. and married Jake Fouts- they had
5 children, Albert charles b 1887 in Viola, Ark.
Daniel b 1890 ? John b 1894 ?, May b 1897 ?, and
Mary b 1898-1899 ?.Margarett Branch died in Baxter co>co. Ark. I think. I don't know if she had sibblings
or who her parents were. Any information will be
greatly appreciated. Thank You.

I have Nathaniel and Leannah ADCOCK FRANCIS of Buckingham Co., VA who moved first to Hancock Co., GA ca 1800 and returned ca 1810 then to Franklin Co., TN by 1818. Leannah is thought to be a dau of Joseph ADCOCK, though not proven.
I am from their son, Miles Sanford Francis b. 1811 in VA who moved to Bollinger Co. MO after 1850. Other sons were Joseph m. Sarah Ragland and moved to TN then to Itwamba Co., MS; John Bassett to TN, MS and d. Clark Co., AR; Byrd Dale b. GA to TN and Bollinger Co., MO; William Alvah m. Mary M. Garrett and moved to TN and Itawamba Co., MS; Lawson d. 1856 Bollinger Co., MO. There were also six daughters on census that are unaccounted for and for which we have no names. Dorothy Mavis Wise that found the Nathaniel and Leannah ADCOCK Francis marriage is a descendant of Byrd Dale Francis. I have Email problems. If unable to reach me at the address above then email me at rena7@juno.com

. I am also researching the Poe line who came from Mason County, looking for parents of Nathan Poe and Louisa Harbor or Harbour . Their children were Mary, Thomas, John, Nannie, Chas. E, Martha, the twins Louanna and Louella who died in a fire in Clay Co. Missouri. According to some of Nathan's grandchildren they had an Aunt Mattie which they believe was Mary's nickname. but they are not sure of this. Most were born in Mason County Ky. They moved to Ky, around the 1970's I think. It could have been a little earlier than this date. Nathan Poe's father was from MD, but he himself was born in Ky. Louisa his wife was born in Ky, while her father was born in VA, and her mother born in GA. This is what the Census of Clay Co. MO states. I would be interested in marriage dates and birthdates of these people if anyone has a book to help me look them up in Mason County, Ky. . Anyone interested, plese email me at Rwin777@aol.com or Bonesdiggin@juno.com

OBITUARY

Appomattox & Buckingham Times



Died near Forbes, in Buckingham county, March 01, 1900, R. Wootton aged 77 years 3 months and 11 days. His funeral sermon was preached by Rev. J. J. Spencer, July 29, 1900, to a large and attentive concourse of friends. The text was taken from Job xiv. 10: "But man dieth and wasteth away; yea man giveth up the ghost, and where is he?" It was a very able discourse, and was calculated to make a lasting impression on all who heard it. All of the children, and grandchildren of the deceased were present, as were also many other relatives and friends.

A FRIEND.
