15 Dec 1998 Smith and HordFirst, I apologize as you may have received this via another discussionlist.I have been attempting to place the Rowley SMITH who married Billy HORD in King George Co. in Aug 1772. It would seem likely this is the son of the Joseph SMITH who died in Fauquier in 1793, but was originally from King George. >From Fauquier records we know that Rowley's wife was known as "Betsy". The last known records of Rowley in Fauquier were in 1794, about the time he and Betsy removed to Shenandoah Co. Their children were adults about then and some remained in Fauquier. There is a DAR record which gives the wife of Rowley, s/o Joseph, as Betsy HOOMES. This is in obvious error as the marriage between a Rowley SMITH and Betsy HOOMES took place in Fauquier in 1807. It may be that this is Rowley SMITH Jr. Nothing seems known of him. Roberta Dulin Stewart in her study, "The Dulin Family in America" (1961), states that the wife of Rowley SMITH was Elizabeth "Betsy" WOODWARD and that they were married in Jun 1772 (location unknown). Mrs Stewart gives Elizabeth's birth and death dates which may have come from a second-hand Bible entry. A daughter of Rowley is believed to have had the middle name of "Woodward". There was indeed a WOODWARD family in both Fauquier and Shenandoah. Equally, there was a HORD family that was in Fauquier that appears to have come from King George. If you can guess by now that I am questioning the reference named above, you are correct. I've found a number of poorly made assumptions by the author in other areas, and am wondering if this is more fuel. While I have used the WOODWARD name in my database (citing Stewart), I've never been comfortable with it. There seems no record of any other Rowley SMITH as a nephew to Joseph Smith and it seems to me that the SMITH/HORD union actually is Joseph's son. Perhaps "Billy" may have been a transcription error for "Betty". Has anyone researched the HORD family from King George and Fauquier who can shed any information on this? Thank you,Jim Balljdball@raex.comjdball@raex.com

He was born 12 Jul 1815 in Fauquier Co., VA.Alexander Payne who md Eleanora Schwartz in 1853, Culpeper Co., VA, was son of William Francis and Frances (Payne) Payne, first cousins. William Francis Payne was son of Francis and Martha (Ferguson) Payne.

There is a Duke Wilburn mentioned in aPr. Wm. court record in the 1750's.

23 Nov 1998 Hudnall FamilyVicky,My data comes from a period after 1750, but it leads me to believe you areon the right track. There were many HUDNALLs in Fauquier County. John P.Alcock, in Fauquier Families, 1759-1799 (Athens, Georgia: Iberian Pub. Co.,1994) has 13 entries of Hudnal/Hudnall, many with the same names youprovided. For example:In 1770, John Hudnal's heirs paid quitrents to Lord Fairfax on 375 acres.In 1765, a Joseph Hudnal gave 127 acres to his son John, the land beingdescribed by Alcock as"part of tract obtained from father John Hudnall ofNORTHUMBERLAND."In 1762, a Thomas Hudnall was given land by his father, William Hudnall ofNorthhumberland.There are marriages, slave transfers, taxes paid, and other transactions.It would not help you if I were to simply transcribe the entries, becausethey are abbreviated and coded, and require constant referral to a 24-pageintroduction, without which it would be impossible to fully understand theentries.You can order the book online at http://www.iberian.com/Fauquier.phtml , andI believe you would consider it an excellent investment. If you do not wantto do that, contact me by e-mail with any questions you have.Jimgranger@worldnet.att.net

20 Nov 1998 Fauquier BoundariesAndrea, maybe I can help. At the formation of Fauquier in 1759, most of that area which became Fauquier was included within the Parish of Hamilton.The area of Fauquier grew initially from the south along the Rappahannock. As the northern area filled-in, Fauquier was formed from Prince William in 1759 to its present configuration. Being one of the largest counties in the state, there was a movement to split Fauquier into a northern and southern half. This proposed county split never took place, but an ecclesiastical boundary change did. About 1769, 10 years after county formation, the Parish of Leeds, also known as Leeds Manor, was formed from Hamilton Parish. The parish boundary is loosely taken as Carter's Run. The area north of Carter's Run fell to Leeds while the southern part of the county remained Hamilton. It was in Leeds where the Fairfax leaseholds existed.Early on, taxes were administered through the church. As the system matured, taxes/tithes were administered at the county level which made more sense. Nevertheless, the parishes continued to be referred to in court documents primarily to designate the local.Hope this helps.Jim Balljdball@raex.comjdball@raex.com
20 Nov 1998I am interested in any leads on Rev. James Thomson, his wife, Mary AnnFarrow, or their family. He was an early Episcopal minister in FauquierCounty.He was tutor to John Marshall, first Chief Justice, and he preached thefuneral for Lord Fairfax. Rev. Thomson arrived in Virginia before the Am.Revolution, and may have died in the very early 1800's.I am aware of Bishop Meade's book which briefly discusses Rev. Thomson'sministry. Several books on John Marshall also briefly mention him.I am interested in additional sources of information in books. I amparticularly interested to know if and where he and his wife are buried inFauquier County. I have not yet done a courthouse search for legal records,but will in the future.I will appreciate any help on this ancestor.John Thomsonthomson@rma.edu

This is as much as I know of the family before theymoved to Bedford Co. Perhaps someone on the list can help me on thisline.

16 Nov 1998 Ford and AllisonIn searching for ancestors, I find that Austin Ford was born around 1790 in Fauquier, Co..., Virginia.

Of their children, John Wesley Ford, was born on Jan 22, 1822 in that place. Later the family moved to Missouri where both Austin and Jane died and are buried.

6 Nov 1998 Stone Kemper MorrissHello everyone, I am looking for the ancestors and descendants of Isabella KEMPER (ca1805-?)who married Francis STONE (ca1800-?) on 11 Jan 1820. Francis was the son ofWilliam STONE (ca1763-1831) and Margaret (Peggy) MORRISS (ca1778-1823) ofWestmoreland Co., VA. The only clues I have are as follows: George KEMPERacted as bondsman on record for the third marriage of William STONE (above) toMary (PAYNE) MORRISS on 2 Jan 1823, Fauquier Co., VA; also, George T. KEMPERsigned the will of William STONE (above) as a witness, on 14 May 1831,Fauquier Co., VA. The listing of George on these records could be coincidentalor they could demonstrate a family link to Isabella. William STONE's willstates "I give to my son Francis and his heirs…" which leaves open thepossibility of descendants. Any information on these KEMPERs would be greatlyappreciated. I have extensive information on the MORRISSes and STONEs andwould be happy to share.Best regards, Brian Douglas ConleyBriDConley@aol.comBriDConley@aol.com

13 Oct 1998 Rodgers and Speaks
James ROGERS/RODGERS was born 2 July 1760 in Culpepper Co., VA. A different source indicates a William ROGERS/RODGERS was born in 1748 in Culpepper. Could these two be brothers? James was reportably in Fauquier Co., VA in 1777, in Franklin County, VA in 1784, in Sevier Co., TN in 1788, and in Lincoln Co., TN in 1811. Marriage records of Madison Co., Mississippi Territory show that a James ROGERS married Polly SPEAKS on 17 June 1812. Can anyone tell me if this James is the James born in Culpepper? The James born in Culpepper was in Limestone County, Alabama from 1816 to about 1833 when he shows up in Franklin Co., TN, then in 1837 he is in Pickens Co., AL. Finally he is in Monroe Co., MS in 1842 where he died in 1843. In his Will (I have copy.) he names his wife, Mary (Is this Polly SPEAKS. Land records from Limestone County, Alabama show a wife named Polly and Polly is a common nickname for Mary.) and the following children: Francis, Julia Ann, Martha, Silas, and Margaret. The wording of the Will—the children of my current wife, Mary—hints at the existence of a former wife and other children. Another query (without sources) indicates that James had a son named Joseph Larkin Rogers, born 21 August 1794 in TN and died 1 July 1878 in Lee Co., MS and that Joseph Larkin, usually called Larkin, married Hannah HOLAND, daughter of Jacob HOLLAND and Sarah MILLER in Pickens Co., AL. Joseph Larkin and Hannah are indeed buried in Lee County, MS.James ROGERS is a prime suspect for the father of my gg grandfather, Robert M. ROGERS, who married Jane/Ginny ALLISON/ELLISON in Madison County, Alabama in 1815. Robert M. and James were in Limestone County at the same time and migrated to Monroe County, MS within a few years of each other. Robert named his eldest son, James. Robert M. was born in TN at a time James was in Tennessee (ca 1794). Can anyone furnish additional clues about the families of James ROGERS, born 1766 in Culpepper Co., VA and died 1843, Monroe County, MS?Snail Mail is Richard Stokes, 3800 Glacier Highway, Juneau, Alaska 99801—long way from my roots and many sources of information.
