Posted 11/03/2005 STONE I am researching the Stone family in the late 1600's and early 1700's. In particular one Thomas Stone who is listed as a resident of Stafford county in 1722. In Sept. 1724 he received a Fairfax grant in what is now Fauquier County. However, There were a number of transactions which occurred in Stafford.
1. Edward Maddox left a will dated in 1694
in this will he had left land indirectly to a Thomas Stone from Charles
Maryland. Maddox wife was Margery Stone (relic of Matthew).
2. Thomas sold that land 200 acres to
William Thornton in March of 1722.
3. Thomas Stone 1724 of Stafford Grant. of
611 acres on Licking Run now in Fauquier.
There are several books written which claim
that the Thomas in item 2 and Thomas of Item 3 were father and son: "Stones
of Poynton Manor" and the "Stones of Surry". However, They offer no clear
reference to the relationship.
I was hoping that there might be an index
for the Deeds book or a Abstract of Deeds which could be checked to see if
what existed in Stone transactions between 1694 Maddox to Stone by will and
Stone land transactions through 1724 especially a Stone to Stone gift of
deed. I would appreciate the help with this research. Thanks,
Bill Stone

Son Simon (Revolutionary War Vet) moved family to Licking and Muskingum Co OH line in 1812. Families of Holmes, Henslee, Redman, Hume and Shaw moved with them. Thanks, Robert Hill, bobhill@traberhill.com Posted 8/15/2005 KINNEY
I am searching for information about a James
Kinney, who lived in Stafford County Virginia during the early 1700s,
(1700-1740s). He is believed to have been married in Stafford county to
someone whose first name was Ann, last name unknown. Children born to that
marriage included John, born 2/14/1740, Richard, born during April, 1742 and
died April 25, 1838 in Scott County, IN; William, born 12/23/1743; Thomas,
born 10/15/1745; Sarah, born 4/15/1749; and Reuben, born 10/12/1751.
Also some unconfirmed sources indicate that
a Timothy Kinney may have come to this country in 1660 and settled in the
Richmond, VA area. I am attempting to learn whether this person existed and
whether he is related to the above James Kinney. The information I have
about Timothy Kinney is quite minimal. He may have come to this country
from Ireland with a brother named Joel. Joel and Timothy may have served in
Cromwell's army. Any thoughts about checking sources and/or any leads would
be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Linda Kinney

Posted 8/14/2005 ROBINSON / STACY
I am at a total stand still. There was a
Benjamin Robinson that died in Stafford County in 1785 and was married to a
Sarah Stacy. They had one child by the name of Elijah. In 1787 there is a
mention of Elijah on the Personal Property Tax List for a Sarah Robinson next
door in Fauquier County. Could these two be connected? My GGG Grandfather was
Elijah Robinson from Virginia and the only census that I am sure is him was
from Culpeper County in 1850. He came to Tennessee after the census and died
in 1853. All of his children were born in Virginia and came with him when he
left Tennessee, some were married and had children of their on. There is
information on the internet concerning Benjamin Robinson, son of Stephen and
two different sites have the Elijah going in different directions and not much
information because he was not their direct descendent. My Elijah stayed in
that general region and was a Millwright. Is there any information in the
local libraries or elsewhere that would help me find out if this is my Elijah
? I have a lot of information concerning his death because of his personal
property being divided. I have all his children's names but can not find
anything to connect him to anyone that could be his parents. According to the
court records, he was married to a Nancy Preston, daughter of Joel Preston but
I have found no marriage record from Virginia. I would appreciate any help I
could get. Shirley Carter

I recently found out that my g grandfather,
Henry Dow, died July 21, 1910 and was buried July 23, 1910 at City Cemetery.
He married Eva Hoskins, daughter of
Capt. George Hoskins, 1908. I know
he lived in Falmouth and was wondering if this cemetery still exists and is it
searchable? I live in New York but would travel to research if possible. I
also believe his father Oscar may be buried there also. Any help would be
greatly appreciated. Thanking you in advance, Bruce Dow

I'm just curious about the people who are buried on our property. Thank you, Ray & Robyn Errington raynrobyn457@yahoo.com Posted 6/26/2005 I am trying to research my great grandmothers line. Her name was Ida V. Armstrong (1874-1922) and she married August Wiggington. They are buried in Ramouth Cemetery and I can't find anything more about her. I heard somewhere that she may have been part Cherokee but I can't confirm that. I am doing this research in connection w/ Scottish history. I have also checked w/ the Armstrong Society but w/out luck. I have since found some add'l info. Her parents were George Henry Armstrong and Elzira Fant (Fritter) Armstrong. Her grandparents appear to be James Armstrong (1800-1876) and Kate Armstrong (1795-1867). I am hoping to positively id where they immigrated from and when. I am assuming they were from Scotland a victim of the Clearances or possibly from Ireland. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Again, thanks much. Joseph C. Wiggington Joewigg@aol.comPosted 5/21/2005 I'm looking for Sophia ? who married George Colvin, probably in Stafford Co. Sophia was born Oct 20, 1807 in VA or MD.

OH where George died before 1850. Sophia died in 1893 and is buried in Monroe Co. I would love to know what Sophia's maiden name was. Thanks! Susan Runyan SusanE1104@aol.com Posted 5/7/2005

I am researching my wife's Cooper line
from Stafford County. I am particularly interested in identifying the parents
of Joseph Cooper (b. ca 1717 Stafford/Prince William Co.), who married
Elizabeth Jones, daughter of Cornelius Jones. They married about 1733/4 in
Stafford County. I believe the father of Joseph Cooper was Henry Cooper, but
this is conjecture. Also, there was a William Bailey Cooper born in 1783
Stafford County who later moved to Kentucky, where he died in 1884 (101 years
old!). I am very interested in identifying his parents and/or siblings. I will
appreciate any guidance; thanks. Bill Fenimore

Benjamin Prichard, who settled near Norene in Wilson County, Tennessee
around early 1800, was born on April 16, 1792, according to his grave
marker. The census records all show that he was born in the State of
Virginia. (Exact location unknown.) He did a short tour of duty during the
War of 1812. Benjamin was married in Wilson County, TN, on July 15, 1816, to
Mary Ann (Polly) Campbell, daughter of James Campbell, who was born in 1766.
Again, according to the Census Records, Mary was born in the State of
Kentucky. They were married by Abner W. Bone, the Justice of the Peace.
Benjamin Prichard died August 3, 1872 and is buried in Wilson County, TN.
The grave marker for Mary Ann (Polly) Campbell Prichard states that she was
born 10 Mar 1796 and died December 5, 1869. This is not a complete listing
of all of their children, and they may not be necessarily in the right
order. Posted 3/16/2005

In 1860 Rappahannock Co census I find William H. MILLER & Ann E. and living with them is a Sallie H. CORBIN age 27 yrs. Then in 1870 Rappahannock Co census I find Ann E. MILLER & family and Sallie H. CORBIN age 37 yrs is living with her & family. Wm. Henry MILLER must have died either during or after the Civil War. From this info. I conclude that James H.

Posted 8/27/2003 Looking for Richard Blackburn of Rippon Lodge, has a will dated July 12, 1757, he died July 15, 1757. In the will he leaves all his land, in Stafford & Prince William County to his oldest son John. It further states if John dies without issues it returns to Thomas. Does anyone have any information in Stafford records at all on John? I find this so strange. Richard Blackburn had a son named Richard Jr. who drowned. It just seems like John disappears. Edward Blackburn, brother of Richard Blackburn, had a son Edward Jr, who married Margaret Harrison, as shown in Overwharton Parish. Can anyone think of anything they may have read or heard about this John? Thanks, Helen Flail hflail@comcast.net

Cathy Brooks Honan WOOFNJOE@aol.com Posted 3/30/2003 Looking for the graves of my ancestors, Sanford Carter and Hannah Read Carter. When my grandmother visited the old plantation near Ruby, Virginia (Locust Hills, Tackett's Mills) a black man, the caretaker, Mr. Henry Vines, took her to the graves (unmarked) on the property and said that "Ole Man Cap'n Knight" owned the property and some of his family were buried there, too. He said that Sanford's daughter Elizabeth Carter (never married) inherited the property when Sanford died in 1873 and she left it to her niece Frances Rowena Stewart. She and her husband sold it for taxes to Cap'n Knight. I would love to mark Sanford and Hannah's graves and give Sanford the recognition he deserves from the War of 1812.
