ALLBRITAIN
13 January 1998 FROM Julie Allbritain WelshZWANZIG@AOL.com
My great great grandfather was William ALLBRITAIN who appeared in the 1820 census of Loudoun County as married with 2 children. I have been seeking the name of his father for some 19 years. John ALLBRITAIN is the only person of that surname and he appears in Loudoun County court records from about 1776 to 1794 and then he turns up in Fairfax County and dies about 1804 (from court records, not death or cemetery records). I have found no birth or marriage records. From census records he apparently owned no land and left no will that I can find, although I have searched court house records in Loudoun and Fairfax counties. I have almost given up hope. This William ALLBRITAIN married Mary DANIEL and moved to Ohio is about 1832. Thanks to anyone who can help me.

DOVE 22 July 1996 FROM Karen Wood
karenwood@del.net
I am seeking information on William DOVE b. 1758, parents unknown, in
Charles Co, Md. Moved to Fairfax Co, Va in early childhood with parents.
He is listed in 1782 heads of household for Fairfax as having family
of 4,
and moved to Pittsylvania Co in 1783. He may have brother Leonard,
who
also appears in Fairfax and Pittsylvania about same time and there
are
children of Leonard in Pittsylvania Marriages (1767-1805) (Knorr's
book).
I know a nephew Stephen was required to come a distance to testify
regarding William's Revolutionary War service and that he lived with
William's mother during the war while William was away (1777-1781 off
and
on). My question is where do I find records of William's marriage in
Fairfax Co, probably between 1781-82, but possibly slightly earlier.
He
was on a ship from 1778-79 and again in 1779--80. He was home for a
while
and then rejoined the Army at Yorktown where he guarded Burwell's
warehouse. Any information would be helpful, regarding parents, possible
siblings, wife. I know children from will of William DOVE, but wife
predeceased him (he died 1847 age 89). I would be happy to share what
I
have. I think William DOVE's pension testimony is the only surviving
testimony regarding the Militia that marched from Alexandria to Germantown
in 1777 to head off the British landing at the head of the Elk. I looked
in the book, Va. Militia in Rev. War, and he is the only one listed
in the
unit. His testimony is in that book, although I have a copy of the
original from the archives.

Ireland, arrived in the U. S. July 1830, aged about 30 years. He emigrated

found in the 1749 Tithables tables for Fairfax County. In 1757 when
Loudoun County was formed from Fairfax County, Joshua DUNKIN recieved

land grant from Lord Thomas Fairfax for land in Loudoun County. I belive
Joshua DUNKIN's son is my 5th greatgrandfather John DUNKIN born 1750
who
married Margaret YOUNG, daughter of Hercules YOUNG and Sarah PHILLIPS,
both Quakers. The 1790 census finds the family in Washington County,
PA
and by 1810 the descendants had migrated to Adams County, Ohio..John
DUNKIN died in Adams County, Ohio in 1830 and his sons continued to
migrate west after his death to the Fountain County area of Indiana.

12 February 1999 FROM Don McAllister fmcalli1@maine.rr.com
John MOODY was born 7 August 1858 in Stoneham, Me. He was married to whom is the question. His father was Albion MOODY who died in 1920 leaving a will which listed the grandchildren. No one in the family knew of John, what he did, how or when he died. What he did for a living etc. The Children of John listed are Arthur, Ellen R., Thurman, Lottie, Elsie S, Nettie, Addie, and oddly Leroy Tweedy. Had John's wife been married before? Six of these grandchildren were listed as living in Lorton, Virginia. It is apparent when Albion died 9 July 1920, John was already dead. Would appreciate any help with this family. Thank you.
MOORE
23 March 1998 FROM Kristina Simms kris@alltel.net
MOORE, Jeremiah & Lydia. He was a revolutionary era preacher in Fairfax Co. I am wondering if my g-grandfather Jeremiah Neuville MOORE whose father, William Boling MOORE, was "born in Virginia," is related to this family. I have seen the names Wm. MOORE, William BOLING and Robert BOLING in Fairfax County research. I know that this Jeremiah and Lydia had a son named William F. MOORE, but do not know if he had children or if any of this family moved to Georgia. William Boling MOORE was b. in Virginia about 1814 and lived in Baldwin Co GA. I think he came to Georgia as a child or infant with his family. They may have lived in Jefferson County (Louisville GA) before Baldwin Co., but that's only a guess on my part. Would love to hear from someone who knows about these families.
