Thanks Bill Neville in Md.

I have been tracking the Riddick family, whose roots seem to originate in Nansemond County, VA. I would like to compare notes with anyone researching the Riddick line. Thanks

I have been researching the Addison family for some time now. My line started in Virginia, travled to North Carolina, then Ohio, and then drifted over to Indiana. Some of the names are: William Addison, Thomas Addison, Iverson Addison, John Addison, Robert Addison, and, I think Ransom Addison might belong to this Addison line. William Addison left North Carolina in the early 1820's and went to Indiana. William Addison married a lady with the last name of Craig. I would love to share my Addison research with anyone in the same line.

PRUITT- looking for info on David PRUITT b:1812 m: Priscilla NEWTON around 1836 lived in Berlin, Md.

It looks as though David PRUITT died between 1854 and 1860 but that's only as he's not listed on the 1860 census. David's father -may- have been Charles, and Priscilla's mother was likely Susan A. Newton. Any help is greatly appreciated! also if anyone has an idea where to find Pruitt's in a cemetery around Berlin from the 1800's. Thanks again,

I have an Elizabeth Leatherbury who was married to Edmund living in Virginia. Apparently after Edmund dies (which is before 1855) Elizabeth moves with her children to Northampton Co., PA. Elizabeth would have been born about 1792. I don't have much more to go on except what I have written. One last thing is that in Elizabeth's will she mentions money owed to her from Virginia. Her children would have been: Sarah Elizabeth, Maria and Mary Ann. I would appreicate any clue as to where I might go next since I am not familiar with Virginia. Thanks for all your help.

Dear Ghotes: Many thanks for your help in the past. This is surely the best site on the web, made up, as it is, of many kind and helpful cousins. Can anyone help me document the marriage of my grandparents William Edward Wise and Gertrude Twiford? They are buried at Mt. Holly Cemetary in Onancock. My father, Edward Revel Wise, was born in 1901, so I assume they were married in 1898=190l. Nora Miller Turman once speculated that they may have been married in Maryland. I know that they lived on a farm outside Onancock for about ten years, and that she lived in Onancock after his death in about 1910. Many thanks for any guidance you may offer. Pat

Looking for information about the Lewers family

I am trying to locate the parents of Robert Drummond Satchell, who was born in Franktown, Northampton County, Virginia on February 6, 1823. I believe his parents to be John Satchell and Leah Drummond, but I cannot find any documentation. RDS was married to Mary Frances Lovett (Lovet, Lovit, Lovitt) by the Rev. Dr. Nelson in Norfolk, Virginia in 1853. He died in Norfolk on February 14, 1900 and is buied in Elmwood Cemetary in Norfolk.

The marriage license from the State gives no parental information, nor do any of the census records, cemetary records, or city directories that I have found. I have a copy of his obit, but it does not mention parents.

Any help will be appreciated.

My great-grandfather was Clarence Payson Jacobs and we believe he came from Temperanceville, VA.

I can fill in some of the San Francisco pieces if anyone has Clarence Jacobs in their family tree.

Just a novice, I appreciate any help anyone can give me.

Hi, Am looking for Samuel Jr.'s b 1710 son Elijah b 1740 I have an unkn Brittingham b 1735/40 and died before 1783. He had two sons, Elijah b 1763 and Isaac b 1765. Leslie Dryden thought that Micajah Brittingham b 1711 who married Tabitha Newbold could have been the father. I am not sure this is true, as the dates do not align close enough. Samuel Jr.'s Elijah b 1740 is the closest born date to my unkn Brittingham and is the last and hardest to find. Leslie also thought it could be another Elijah, as one was unacounted for in Pitts Creek at that time. Any help in locating this Elijah b 1740 giving his wife and children would be oh, so, greatfully accepted.

I am researching information on on great, great, great grandparents. They were residents of Mulberry Island. Alexander Ash was born in 1835 and his wife was born in about 1841. They had 8 children (I believe) They were both listed in the 1880 census as mulattoes. Some of the childrens names were Susan, Lottie, Julia, Willie, Mary. They lived right on the James River across from the Jones House in Fort Eustis. As much as I have gone through the history of what is now Fort Eustis, all attempts seem to have been made to leave out that part of history when the residents were forced to sell their property for about an acre and given about a month to vacate. The Ash Family will be having its 8th reunion in August.

Can anyone provide or guide me to solid confirmation that ties any, repeat any Perry Co.,IN K. family descendant of Richard Kellam who came from England to the Eastern Shore in 1634.

The spelling of this surname has numerous variations that developed as the people went west,south and north. I have one ancestor whose name was spelled 10 different ways over a 20 year span of land tax records in Hardin Co.,KY. Perry Co. has one of the largest concentrations of K.families in the U.S.. This has made it difficult to trace one line all the way back to Richard Kellam but it seems to have significant support in tax records and migration patterns.

I have a Henry Simpson b. 5-3-1806 VA and found that he was an orphan from the from the Greene Co., TN Court Minutes in 1817. He was indentured at that time to James McPherron but released in 1818 if he would leave Greene County, TN. I think he may have been from a wealthy family because of the terms of the indenture. He also signed a bond for . at age 21 to marry Anna Carter. In addition, he sold 125 acres in 1831 at age 25. I have found a John Simpson who owned 403 acrs of land in 1797 and 75 acres of this land was sold by Henry Simpson, but it was owned by Ellis King since 1805 when he bought it from Jonathan Fuston, and no record could be found of him selling it. Is there a list of guardianships or something that would show orphans who inherited land in VA in 1817 or 1830? Since I do not know which county to search for information in, I need some sort of general listing if there is such a thing.

My first visit to Virgina I commented that it was so beautiful why did anyone leave. Apparently my ancestors did.

He had a son THOMAS WADLEY II born in Goochland County. The family eventually went to TN and my branch to MO. That's all I know - how can I find where Thomas I settled and to whom was he indentured - and how do I go about getting more info? Thanks!

I have located Passwaters in Old Somerset County, MD in 1673. It was an orphan whose name I believe was Jonas. I believe his fathers' name was Thomas Passwater. Thomas Passwater pocessed 200 acres, commonly called Cattle Haven on the south side of the Rokawalkin river. It was sold by Jonas Passwater to Alexander Fullerton in 1733.

What I am trying to determine is if Thomas Passwater came here from England, migrated from other areas on the peninsula, or if he had parents that did.

By the way, I have located the Passwater surname in England as early as 1565 and as late as 1735. Their names varied as you can see; Passewater, Paswater, Passwater.

Is anyone familar with this surname? Any suggestion about who, when and were they arrived. I have surveyed ships lists of the period, as well as books that supposedly contained all the names of bondsmen, prisoners, orphans, servants, and gentlemen for the 1600 to 1700 period.

Thanks-

re: question about Cherrix ancestors and Native Americans - could not find original question and who posted

Enjoyed your site. I am trying to place the origins of my gggrandfather James M Dale (1795?-1870)who was married to a Margaret or Mary Evans ((1796-1887). i have placed him in Baltimore Hundred by 1830 census but unable to determine his parentage. I noted that Linda Abel had identified a Margaret born to Elizabeth (?Riley) and Enoch Evans. Did she find any intermarriages to Dales, also where were these children raised. I found William R (?Riley)Evans living next to James M Dale in Baltimore Hundred (Sussex Co) in 1830. Any feedback or directions would be much appreciated.

Do you have any information on William T. Belote born in 1898 in VA?

This is not so much a question as a comment. I am related to several of your lines through Andrews, Robbins and Holloway. I have researched the Hamby family name for years and have information on them as far back as the 9th century. I folloed them through England and into Northampton Virginia and Harford County Maryland on to the Carolinas and beyond. I have some fairly extensive files on these families if you want to look through them, I am always amazed though at the work I have encountered with my Hamby family, and I have traced them largely through the maternal lines, so you see I how I caame about so many files and names.

I found this record on the internet, i'm not sure which or even if either of these Henry Bird's are related to me, The first time I found Henry Bird he was in fulton Co Il, age 47 born in VA, he had married a second time, as his wife Elizabeth was 28 at that time and his oldest son David was 22, and his next son Richard was 20, So in the 1830 Census he would have been married with David being2 and Richard either not born yet or just a infant. If anyone can give me anymore clues as to if either of these Henry Bird's are related or could be this same one found in 1850 in Il i would very much appreciate it. Thanks in advance. Donna

I have traced my family to 183. However, I am having a problem connecting two people. Howard Feddeman who was born in 1853 and appears on the 1900 census, but as I went back I could not find him. Also, Abel Feddeman who was born in 1823. He appears in the 1870-1900 census. Can someone help? I believe that Howard Feddeman may have been the child of Abel and Sarah Feddeman or that of John and Mary Feddeman. This information appears in the Accomack County census records.

Was there a significant blizzard during the winter of 1840? Where would one find weather records for that time?

To members of the MEARS and related families: My great-grandfather, George BRADFORD, died in Dorchester County MD in 1914. His death certificate indicated that his mother was Nancy SAVAGE, wife of William Bradford. I assumed that this was her maiden name, and researched the Savage family for many years, but could not link her with anyone. Finally, I found a marriage record of William Bradford and Nancy MEARS in 1831, a year which coincided with George's birth date. Then I found that Nancy Bradford married Joseph F. Ames in 1844, and Nancy B. Ames, the widow of Joseph, married Thomas R. Joynes, Jr. in 1851. I believe that Thomas Joynes died in 1894, so the elderly Nancy must have married again, this time to Mr. Savage. Does anyone have access to Accomack or Northampton marriage records between 1894-1905 to prove my theory correct?

Does anyone have info on offspring of Thomas Meares mentioned in Abstracts of VA Land Patents and Grants (1632-1666)?

I believe this same Thomas served in the House of Burgess.Would appreciate any info available on him.

There is a deal of information on Denwood starting with levin snr and jnr, who lived in accomack, quakers, moving to Somerset MLD by 1670. BUT in researching DENNARD I have found the following:-

1. Levin who came from Bekesbourne, Kent(according to on line data) has no family there- the denwoods being from Scotland, however this same area is strong for dennard.

2. Some of the court records, from VA, show for denwood 'OT Dennard' which means original transcription dennard.

3. The two denwoods are recorded as transporting themselves to Somerset Co ( Skordas) but Dr.gibbs later supplement, from original records shows Levin and Levin DENNARD transporting themselves by 1680( the By is because the records are for rights being claimed 4. denwood is recorded as living at Stonidge ( somerset) same as dennard. 5. male denwoods appear to die away early 1700's and dennards appear 6. A female denwood married into the Miles family but later sons had forename dennard not denwood

Could all of these on line records, including many family trees be based on an original error? Any info would be appreciated

regards,

brian dennard
