Vicki, I just saw something this morning on Ancestry.com that makes me think Henry Belcher may have had a daughter named Sarah who married John Queen. There was a Henry listed as being married to Mollie Unknown, with a daughter named Sarah. Henry was married to Millie Prince, so maybe that is the same Henry, and whoever was doing the research didn't have Millie's name quite right.

Hello Everyone, I have added a little more information to my John BELCHER branch as the result of some marriage records and some census research. I have a problem with Nathan Anderson BELCHER and Mary Perkinson ANDREWS, his wife, in that they were still having children after age 50. This is what is indicated on the 1850 census unless what was posted to it is in error. The younger children could have been grandchildren and not indicated as such. I have found a marriage record for Henry BELCHER, son of John and Mary BELCHER. Although Henry BELCHER's and Huldith ANDREWS' marriage record indicated that his mother was a witness to the marriage in 1827, the will for John BELCHER in 1838 indicates his wife's name as Suenese BELCHER. This name of Suenese could be a nickname for Mary or a second marriage for John BELCHER. Another possibility is John and Mary divorced. How hard is it to research divorce records in Virginia? Below is a record of 3 generations. If anyone connects with this family, please feel free to contact me. I would love to find some new cousins. Sorry for the length of my letter, but I think 2 generations gives a clearer picture that I'm definitely having problems researching my BELCHER branch. Thank youb for your time.

No, Vicki, I have no information on Henry Belcher's brothers or sisters. I wish I did. That would probably tell us who his parents were. Henry had at least two sons, one named John, who I am descended from, born about 1816, and Anderson A. Belcher, born abt. 1821. John had a son and three daughters, Henderson "Henry" Belcher, who I am descended from, and Louisa, Lucy, and Rachel Belcher. I am certain that there were more children than I know about.

Hi Karen, yes I have Andrew Belcher, He was my ggrandfather, middle name Jackson. Does that work ? Sharon.

Lee: Do you know the names of Henry Belcher's brothers and sisters? Vicki

Yes, I realized after I sent the message that I should have stated where he was from. Henry Belcher, born abt. 1779, was most likely born around Russell or Tazewell County, in Virginia. His son John was most likely from the same general area. Henry's grandson, also named Henry (could have been Henderson and went by Henry), was born in Virginia, apparently in Buchanan County, on Rock Lick Creek, and then moved to what is now Logan County, West Virginia. I was told that he and his wife are buried in Logan County somewhere. I'm trying to pin down where it is. The information as I have it: Henry Belcher, born abt. 1779, married Millie Prince. John Belcher, born abt. 1816, married Mary "Polly" Fuller, born abt. 1820 Henderson "Henry" Belcher, born abt. 1834, married Rebecca Toler. James Crockett Belcher, born abt. 1854/55, married Patsy Mounts, born September 19, 1855. His second wife, and mother of his six children, was Mary Ann Knight, born February, 1856, in Virginia. Henry Wyatt Belcher, born in Guyandotte, West Virginia, on December 6, 1888, married Minnie Delphi Altizer, born in Verner, West Virginia, on May 7, 1901. Arthur Leeland Belcher, born in Robinette, West Virginia, on November 25, 1919, married Anna Alice Farley, born in Norfolk, Virginia, on March 5, 1920. I am Arthur Leeland Belcher, Jr. That is as far as I can trace my line back to the Belcher's in Virginia. I know Henry connects somewhere, but I don't know who his parents were. I'm looking for any information that anyone can share with me on who Henry Belcher's parents were. Lee Belcher P.S. I'll make a note of your question and see if I can find anything on Mary R. Belcher. ----- Original Message ----- From: <CBray53321@aol.com> To: <BELCHER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, July 21, 2000 9:43 PM Subject: [BELCHER] Re: BELCHER > Lee, > > Did your John Belcher also live in Virginia?

Lee, Did your John Belcher also live in Virginia? Do you have anything on a Mary R. Belcher that was born in 1815 and died 1900. I know nothing else about her. This is information that is on her tomb stone. She is buried in the Mire cemetery in Pendleton Co., Ky. Nancy

I am looking for the parents of Henry Belcher, born abt. 1779. he was married to Millie Prince on March 2, 1811, in Giles County, Virginia. She was the daughter of John H. Prince. The information that I have indicates he had a son named John Belcher, born abt. 1816. Lee Belcher

Sorry about the way I worded that info on Abagail Ellis,yes she was Sutton Belcher's wife,not Richard's.

The name of his second wife remains a mystery to me. The Marriage information for Sutton E. & Abigail was found in a book titled "Marriages of Wilson County, TN 1802-1850. Compiled by Edythe Rucker Whitley. Genealogical Publishing Co. 1981 James Ellis was listed as best man. Less than 4 months later James married Rebecca, Sutton's sister. Born in Virginia, I would guess in Amelia County. Married Abigail Ellis in 1817 Sutton was named Guardian of William. Ulsey, Jacob and Richard G. minor heirs of Richard Belcher Decd. (QCR, 1833-1836, p. 383) The following entry was recorded in the 1860 TN Census for Wilson County. Belcher, S.E., 66, Abigal H. 65, Richard D. 23, Polly Ellis 52, John A. Johnson 10, & George W. Eubanks 23. I would think that Richard D. would be their son and Polly would be Abigal's mother. He died August 28, 1866 in Wilson County Tennessee. His tombstone can be found on the Belcher farm, Trousdale Ferry Pike, across the creek from the Bethlehem Cemetery. While not proven yet, it appears that Sutton and Abigail also had a son named JAMES E. BELCHER. JAMES E. BELCHER made his Will December 5, 1854, and it was proved March 5, 1855 ( W&I, 1852--1856, P. 342F) He mentions: (1) wife, Sarah F. Belcher (2) my two children, John P. Belcher, and my infant daughter, yet unnamed (3) father, S.E. Belcher (4) executor, father S.E. Belcher Witness were D.V. Seay and H.A. Goodall QCR= Quarterly Court Record (QCR, 1852-1856, January 8, 1856,p.558) the following entry is found: Petition of S.E. Belcher - ex parte - It appears that before his death, James E. Belcher made his will in which he directed that he wished his father, petitioner S.E. Belcher, should take Negro man named ALLEN. Euell E. Belcher EEB60@aol.com
