SURNAME: Venable/Richardson/Kent/Clarke/Eades
DATE: 15 October 2002
NAME: shellkiwi@attbi.com
QUERY:
I am looking for more information regarding a William S.
Venable that lived in Fluvanna county in the 1820s. I have a lot of
information about William's life, but absolutely no information
regarding who his parents were. Although I have been searching for
years, I get nowhere. I do have some documents that provide interesting
clues, but need some help making the links. Any help would be
appreciated.Sarah Richardson, widow of John Richardson, married
Robert Kent in 1823. I have copies of a will she made in that same year,
and an intent of marriage agreement made between her and Robert Kent a
few months later. In both documents, she mentions William S. Venable and
William L. Clarke as being executors/administrators. She leaves a large
amount of property to both and to a Rebecca Collingsworth. Because
William Venable and William Clarke are mentioned so many times and she
leaves them land and slaves, I am assuming that they are all related. I
am hoping that Sarah may be my key to finding William's parents.
However, I have been unable to locate a maiden name or birthdate for
Sarah. I do know that she died in 1831 (this is when her will was
proven). I have also had no luck finding any information for her first
husband, John Richardson. It seems like this family just dropped out of
nowhere.
William S. Venable was born in Bath Co, VA (?) in 1804. He moved
several times in his life, venturing through Kentucky, and dying in
Illinois. He married Sarah Eades, daughter of Sheperd Eades, in
Albemarle Co, VA.

1741, Samuel 1743, Edward 1746, Joseph 1747, Pleasant 1758 and Jean
1762. Maybe John Bybee had two or three wives. I really would like to

SURNAME: Baber

NAME:

QUERY:
I am
looking for land ownership info for the Baber family. My ancestor,
Thomas Baber was Born: ABT. 1720 at: Old Rappahannock, Virginia Died: 4
OCT 1778 at: Fluvanna Co. Virginia
Specifically, are there any plantations or houses that are still around
that were owned by the family?
SURNAME: Weir/Mitchell
DATE: 22 June 2002
NAME:
paulacole@compuserve.com
QUERY:
The Manassas Virginia
Museum owns and is researching a Civil War plantation
and plantation house called Liberia. The Liberia House still exists
today
but needs much restoration and preservation. Our research also
includes
the owners of the property. This house was built in 1829 by William J.
Weir who married Harriet Blanden Mitchell. Harriet was the daughter of
Priscilla Carter and Robert Mitchell. This makes her a grandaughter of
Robert "King" Carter. The property was given to her on her mothers
death
and was originally part of the "King" Carter Cancer Plantation. The
house
was also headquarters to Genl PTG Beauregard during the first Battle of
Manassas and was visited by Abraham Lincoln. This combination makes
this
house and family very historically significant.
Here is our problem: During the Battle of First Manassas the family
decided to abandon Liberia, however, local history records that the
family
left trusted slaves in charge of protecting the house and packing up
family
possessions. The family withdrew and temporarily settled at a farm
called
"Union Hall" in Fluvanna County. Later during this same year (1861) the
family returned to Liberia.
Any guidance you might be able to give us as to the location of Union
Hall
would be appreciated. We are assuming that the property either belonged
to
Harriet's family or mutual friends. Also, could you direct me to any
research centers in Fluvanna County that might contain papers relating
to
any of the above. I will be making several fact gathering trips to
Fluvanna in the next couple of months.

My name is Doug Barnett and I am engaged in a genealogical searching of my family. I am an African American.

I am willing to absorb any cost attendant thereto. Any information you can provide would be most appreciated. Thank you
