I am still searching for anyone who might have information regarding Barnett or Barnet family from Virginia. Jesse R Barnett is my 3rd great grandfather and I know nothing about him or his parents or siblings. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have a James Barnett from Virginia. He married Martha Mills.His parents were John Barnett and Rebecca Holcombe. Does he fit into your tree? If nor in your direct line but indirectly.

Debbie, I don't find a James or John Barnett, but as you can see in the notes following this sentence, I have no clue who Jesse's parents or siblings are. In the census records, it shows Jesse R. Barnett place of birth as Virginia. He was born in possibly early 1800's. His wife is listed as Docia. The only other information I have found for Jesse R. Barnett is that he died in 1847 in Buchanan County Missouri. I cannot locate a death record, burial place or any other information. He had four children that I have found in the census records. Basha 1827, VA, Zachia 1829, NC, Hanna 1831, MO and my 2nd great grandfather Jesse born in 1838 in MO and he was married Lillie Pritchett. I am looking for information for Jesse R. and who his parents and/or siblings may have been. Any help making a connection would be greatly appreciated!

Kim, go this website and email Yvonne. She is probably more knowledgeable on this Barnett family than me....http://vycurry.wordpress.com/james-madison-barnett-personal-page/james-madison-barnett-will/.

Looking for some help. Does anyone have access to the Jones Memorial Library in Lynchburg, VA. I am looking for a death record of George Alexander Poythress, b. May 1849, he died after 1900. I just want to know is there a record and if so what is the reference so I can make a request from the library.
Thanks!

Hello all,
My ancestors are Malcolms from Highland Cty/Augusta Cty,Va. I can trace back to Joseph Malcolm b. mid1700's-d.1822. I'm especially interested in information on George Malcolm who fought in the French and Indian War. He was in the Virginia Militia.
Thank you

Hello all I am new to the group and was wondering if anyone could tell me if there would be more to a document like the one quoted below and where I could find the full text if it is indeed possible.
Virginia Colonial Abstracts, Vol III, York County, 1646-1648:

Page 185. Inventory of est of Wm. Stafford late deceased, being at Cheeskiacke in the possession of John Cleverius. Taken 3rd March 1644/5. Includes 8 negroes. 2 Bibles valued at 60 lb tobo. Total valuation of estate 30681 lb tobo. Signed Fr. Morgan, Row Burnham. Jurant Coram Hugh Gwin.

I am researching my Stafford line.

Thank you

Rebecca Stafford

Since this is only the inventory, the will itself should have been filed earlier. Look back through the abstracts or the documents themselves for the filing of the will.

Does anybod have any info on Thomas Edmondson born abt 1645 died 1715 in Essex CO VA Iv'e been told he was a member of the House of Burgessess from Essex County, VA 1693-1700, member of the Justice, 1702, Sheriff 1703. Can any confirm this .

Am looking for Thomas Spencer B. 1740 D. 1786 Maryland, married to Elizabeth McCann B. 1750 died 1830 Harrison County, WV

Has anyone here done much research in Stafford County, VA? Looking for tips on sources I could check for the time period 1775-1800. I've already looked at the tax and court records on microfilm that can be ILL'd from the Library of Virginia, but I'm wondering what primary documents exist from that time period that I might be missing. I'm trying to locate any and all references to the PILCHER family in Stafford County during that time period.

to teresa: this is info i found. not sure if it your line but here goes
Read a letter from Jimmy Wales and Michael Snow. [Hide] [Help us with translations!]

William S. Pilcher
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
William Stanton Pilcher (January 5, 1803–August 14, 1858) was the eleventh mayor of Louisville, Kentucky, serving from 1857 to 1858.

Pilcher was born in Stafford County, Virginia to a wealthy manufacturing family. He came to Louisville in 1833 to study law.

Pilcher unsuccessfully ran for lieutenant governor in 1844 as a Jacksonian Democrat, but was elected mayor of Louisville on the Know Nothing party on April 4, 1857 in a landslide. However, by May 13, 1858 he was too ill to continue his duties, and he died later that year, becoming the first mayor of Louisville to die in office.

•Name: Dr. Thomas PILCHER , M.D.
•Sex: M
•Birth: bef 1810 in Stafford Co, Va (probably)
•Note:
Possible child of this Charles Pilcher. William Lewis and Dr. Thomas Pilcher were brothers. William L. and Tom lost track of each other after their family moved to Ohio and William moved further west. Both Lucille Vernon and Helen Pilcher Hall (descendent of William L) have corresponded with Bob (descendent of Dr. Tom) concerning William L's father, said by William L to be named Charles, from a prominent Virginia family. [The link to this Charles is tentative and not proven. See also Notes, William Lewis Pilcher, Tom's brother.]

Dr. Tom and Lucinda were married in Virginia, possibly Stafford County and subsequently moved to Ohio. As he married in Virginia, presumably it was prior to their move and he would have had to have been several years older than his brother, William L. who was 14 at the time of the move. When he was in his late seventies, Dr. Tom and Lucinda moved to Olathe, Kansas. Both of them died there. Dr. Tom appears to have moved to Olathe when his son moved there. His grandson was born in Olathe in 1882, so they would have moved there during or before

[i] William Stafford afterwards removed to York county. There is on record there, dated March 3rd, 1644, the inventory and appraisement of the personal estate of William Stafford, " late deceased," which was at Chiskiack in the possession of John Cluverius, clerk, valued at 30,681 lbs. tobacco, and including 8 negroes. William Stafford was born in 1607, and his wife was named Rebena (Hotten). Among the head-rights to a grant to him in 1635 is Christopher Stafford. Februafy 2d, 1657, it is stated in the York records that Joseph Watkins was guardian of Humphrey Stafford, son and heir of Christopher Stafford, deceased, having married his mother, Elizabeth. In the General Court records, 1675, there is mention that Mrs. Beazley, of James City county, in her will, dated 1664, left a negro to her cousin, Mr. Humphrey Stafford, of Virginia. On September 30th, 1681, Humphrey and John Gwyn, in their own right, and as attorneys of Humphrey Stafford, petitioned the General Court, claiming that they (the three) were the nearest allied to Colonel John Burnham, deceased of Middlesex, and

Lookin for family information on Abraham van Soldt who came to Virginia ca 1650's. He was born 1630 in London from a merchant family from Antwerp/Brussels.

These are the only rare recordings found so far. Because of the 20+ variants the family name has been found under, it has been difficult to find additional information.

Searching for McConchie family in Fauquier, Va., or Charles County, Md.

Hello everyone........I am a descendant to Samuel Fox of Amherst and Nelson County Virginia. (Afton Va.) Also I believe my descendants owned property in Albemarle County as well. I have been trying to find information on this particular descendant for quite sometimes as the first records we have of him was working on a road gang in Nelson County Virginia 1769. Samuel Came over from England on a ship called the Brothers and landed somewhere in Maryland. We dont know how he ended up all the way down in the Western part of VA. but we have no marriage record of him that we can find. Any pointers?

My only Fox is a Melinda Fox born 1812 in Tennessee and married Morris Edwards and lived in Johnson and Saline counties in Missouri.

Hello....I think we have maybe one Fox that settled in Tennessee

Well, J.R, I would be interested to find a connection, since I don't know who Malinda's folks were, or even what state they were born in. Do your Tennessee Foxes have a daughter named Malinda who was born in 1812?

Hi everyone. I am researching my husbands line. Some of the surnames are Wolfe, Kimberlin, Tucker, and Wright. For the most part, these surnames have been in these two counties(Alleghany and Botetourt) for over two hundred years. Any help would be appreciated.

I have Wolfs from Heidleberg, Germany that go to PA and then OH, but don't see any in VA.

I am gathering information on ancestors who lived in Mecklenburg County, throughout the 1800 and 1900's: Dodson, Rowlett and Strickland. Any information or stories about these families would be appreciated.

I am stuck on my CLARK line with James W. Clark who was born in 1800 and died in 1877. He is buried in Horsepasture, Henry Co., VA. Many think his father may be a Henry Clark but I can't find the connection. If anyone is looking at this line the the Patrick/Henry Co area please contact me.

Not sure if anyone has been to this site!

Need any info shared about the following: Garrisons and Embreys of Summerduck Run, Fauquier County and Stafford County.....Hawkins, Lee, Terrills, Orange County, Va, Hammer, Davis, Rockingham County, Va.....

I have hit a wall in my search for James CLARE/CLAIR, born 1794 and married Ruth SMEDLEY in Alexandria Virgina? I read that some of the census records were destroyed in a fire. Any suggestions for a substitute?

My Virginia ancestors are Clark/Clarke, Jarrett, Corbin, Martin and so far they all are in the counties of Roanoke, Patrick, Henry and Pittsylvania counties. Would loe to have contact with anyone researching these lines.

I have ancestors that were around Sumerduck too. Have you see this old map. Look down in the SE and you'll find a few Embreys. http://www.fauquiercounty.gov/documents/departments/gis/pdf/1876_FA...

Lisa.........I have quite a bit of information on the Martin family around that area. Most of them settled in Albemarle,Amherst and Nelson Counties. I also have some from Pittsylvania county as well.

I am descended from Henry Baker (born approx 1680) of Isle of Wight County. Henry's first wife was Angelica Bray.

I'm researching my Virginia ancestors of the surnames of Ward, Woodhouse, Gallup, Lockwood, Cannon, Kellam, Buskey, and James (Princess Anne County) and the surnames of Mears, Edwards, Quillin, Rolland, and Blaine (Norfolk). I'm also researching my extended families (by marriage) of Levine and Rosenthal of Norfolk, Virginia. I live in Norfolk.

I am looking for Criddle and Crittle in Virginia and West Virginia.

I am looking for Kelly/Kelley's in Botetourt County, VA. Also Green Hogan family.

Need info on Josiah Martin who married Sarah England, daughter of William Anderson England; Possibly Amherst County
Also need researcher for Portsmouth, VA on deaths 1800-1810.

I saw a great quote that might be a good slogan for this group:
"In the Beginning All Was Virginia"
Not sure who to attribute this too.

Any members of this group have ancestors who lived in the Eastern Shore of Virginia?

Kye - in response to your question: sort of - I have family origins from Charles County, Maryland - the family migrated across the Potomac to Stafford County. Family names include Rogers, Stevens, Garrison, Atchison, Wright, Lugar (Lewgar), and Rowzee.

Hi Adam, I should have defined the Eastern Shore of Virginia for those who aren't familiar with it. It is located east of the Chesapeake Bay and consists only of Accomack County and Northampton County. It is part of the Delmarva peninsula which also consists of the Eastern Shore of Maryland and Delaware.

My early Waltons I've traced to these counties,primarily; Albemarle, Hanover,and Pittsylvania. My 4th GGF Edward Byerus Walton, born in Albemarle,was an early Ky. settler.
