Bridges > [email protected] Steven - I only have one ..... hmmm ..... I hesitate to call it a disagreement... just a possible question on the info on Joseph. I have in my possession, a copy of pages from a compilation of Tax records by Augusta B. Fothergill and John Mark Naugle, titled "Virginia Tax Payers, 1782 - 1787, Other than those published by the US Census Bureau" (Geanealogical Publishing Co, Baltimore, 1978), that lists 2 Joseph Hambricks, (Jun & Sen). The person who copied this (a distant cousin) didn't copy the page interpreting the numbers, so I'm not sure what they mean. My cousin (a different one!!) & I are fairly certain that these folks are 2 of our 3 Joseph's. If that's right, this would make Joseph, son of Patrick, 50-55ish, and we place his son Joseph Jr. as born c. 1753 (he fought in the Revolution). So it doesn't look like Joseph Sen. moved from Virginia. Just Prince WIlliam COunty (the tax records have these boys in Franklin County). I know that his descendants were in Franklin County for sure as late as 1808. I need to get this tax record figured out (it has XXXXX-XXXXX-XX for numerical entries. I need to get the inter-library loan thing going & pull in a copy of this book. Unless someone has it, or a copy of the "key" page & can decipher this for me.) I canna say fer sure that I'm right, tho'! Just my .02 worth!!! Sarah -- Sarah E. Hambrick [email protected] "There's enough youth, how about a fountain of smart?" - unknown
