DAVIS / HUGHES
I am looking for information on Elizabeth Hughes who married Nathaniel
Davis about 1680 in Hanover County, Virginia. Their children that I know
of were: Mary Davis d. 1756 Albemarle Co.,Va.; Robert Davis Sr. d.1771;
Hannah Susannah d.after 1765 Prince George Co.; Philip Davis; Martha
Davis d. 2/13/1765 Louisa Co.,Va. Would also like to know specifically
about Robert Davis' children and who they married and their children. I
am trying to get back to my gr.grandmother Elizabeth Jane Davis who was
born in Ohio. I know that one of Robert's children is the link, just not
which one. I have other info on the family I would be glad to share.
Such as Elizabeth Hughes parents are Nicketti and Unknown Hughes and I
think that Nathaniel's parents are Israel Davis and Elizabeth Unknown.

ARMSTRONG / RENCH/WRENCH
The earliest progenitor that I can find is Launcelot Armstrong, born
about 1700 in Hanover, Louisa Co. Virginia. He was married to one Sarah
Wrench or perhaps spelled Rench. He died in 1745. He had son also called
Launcelot, born in Louisa Co. about 1743. I know that the information I
have given is for Louisa Co. but I am told that it might have been part
of Hanover Co. at one time. Can anyone help me or direct me where I may
go to find information about the senior Launcelot or his family.

ASKEW/ ASQUE/ ASCUE/ ASKUE/ ESKEW/ ESCUE/ ESQUE
Researching Askew of St. Martins Parish, Hanover co. John Askew was
noted in Hanover Co. as early as 1782 and as late as 1814. John is noted
in St. Martins up to 1814 and by 1815 is noted as "John Askew est" in
property tax record and by 1816 it is noted as Ann Askew. Also noted in
St. Martins is a Robert Askew. I suspect that Ann is John's widow and
she was b in 1775 according to 1850 census. Have searched for Askew
Estate in Hanover to no avail! Ann remains in Hanover Co. until 1820. By
1826 she removed with her family to Rockbridge Co. where what I suspect
to be her sons Joseph b 1805 m Sally Shields (Camden), Anthony (b ? m in
1826 so I suspect between Joe and Jon) m Mary Holmes and Jonathan b 1810
m Amanda Camden. I cannot find any Askew in Probate records for Hanover
Co. Is anyone a part of the Askew family of St. Martin Parish, Hanover
Co. early 1800? I also suspect that Robert above is either John brother
or son! ELVY12345@aol.comKaryn Cooper 11/6/98

DICKENSON / MEADE / MINOR
I am trying to learn the parents, siblings, and children of John Meade
of Hanover Co., who is listed as deceased in church records there when
his Hanover County land was last processioned in 1771. In the Vestry
Book of St. Paqul's Parish, Hanover County, John Meade is listed as a
land processioner as early as 1755 through 1771 when he is noted as
deceased. He is probably related to Minor Meade, William Meade, and
Thomas Meade, who were also in Hanover County between 1750-1789. These
men's children were later in Louisa County. I suspect a Minor family
connection as the name Minor Meade is frequently found in later
generations of this Meade family, as well as the name Vivion Meade.
Henry Meade married a Dickenson from Hanover and they named a son Minor
Meade, another John, another Vivion. Thanks. bobbohank@naxs.net Bob

LITTLEPAGE / MUSTOE / SMITH / WINSTON
I am searching for records on William Littlepage (3rd son of Col James
Littlepage and Sarah Winston) born at South Wales in 1756; He married
Susanna Smith in Hanover County in 1782. He inherited a life estate in
the Hanover County Plantation William Winston (d. 1791) left to his son
Thomas Winston (Sarah Winston's brother, d.1794). I need the dates of
their deaths (I believe px 1818 as William does not appear on the 1819
tax rolls) and the names and dates of birth of 5 of their children. The
Eldest was William S. Littlepage who married Betsy Mustoe in Bath County
in 1808. The others are indefinite. The 1810 census indicates there were
5 more: 1m 16-26, 2m 10 or under and 2f 10 or under. I believe they are
Thomas W., Peter W., Francis Stevenson, Susan and Nancy but have been
unable to confirm and verify parentage or dates of birth. Thomas W.,
Peter W. and Nancy all appear in Alabama in 1819 and can be traced from
there. But the link to William and Sukey remains elusive.

LAMBETH-LAMBERT / McDANIEL-McDONALD / WINSTON
Tracking an elusive McDaniel/McDonald family. Interested in two men who
fought under Capt. John Winston in the 14th VA during the REV WAR. Both
received bounty land warrants--have sent for these. One was Andrew
McDaniel and the other was Enemias McDaniel. Believe that Andrew, at
least, was aka McDonald. He may have been the Andrew McDonald who died
Berkley Co in 1799, leaving widow Hester and a number of children. If
so, I have further info on him and his family who went first to KY, then
OH. From what I can glean online, Enemias aka Enamias appears to have
died by 1790 and left widow Lucy who remarried to a Lambeth. Think I
have seen elsewhere Lambert. Think his first name could be recorded as
Enos or some other variant. Would like to know if Enemias is related to
Andrew, and if so, how. Share whatever I have freely.

HUNDALLS/ CRANEY ISLANDS FARM
I am curious about the Hundalls family that lived on the plot of land my
house is currently situated. I live in Craney Island Farms on Caleb
Drive. I was once told there was a farm here owned by a Mr. Hundalls
(sorry dates and first names not known). I would like to learn more
about what this area was before the development was built. Was there
really a farm here? Was there any taverns by the railroad tracks on
Atlee Station Road in front of our development? I was told a tale that
there was a farm house here and where our house is there were old shacks
where Mr. Hundall allowed hobos from the railway to live. Do you think
there could be any truth to this story? Thanks for any help you can give
me! virginia-stitcher@erols.com Paige
