Virginia (Surry/Isle of Wight/Southampton/Sussex Co.) mystery.... I inherited the following two pieces of information about 30 years ago from some member of my Land family and no one has been able to find this Dr. Charles Land, son of William Land and Elizabeth Lewis. As you can see they have him (Dr Charles Land) marrying two different women (Mary Ann Porter m. 1760 & Mary Ann Carter of Isle of Wight Co.) and having the same child Nathaniel Land. He also has two different millitary histories seen below. They also have Nathaniel Land marrying two different women (Sallie B. Goodwin m.1784 & Rebecca (we believe Watkins) Hart) which we believe was successive. Our line continues from this Nathaniel Land. My cousin thinks that perhaps the father of this Nathaniel Land is really a Robert Land son of William Land (son of Curtis, son of William, son of Sir Frances Land) and Elizabeth Lewis. But I can not ignore the following two detailed pieces of family history. #1 "John Webb Land was the son of Nathaniel Land, the first, and his wife, Sallie B. Goodwin, who were married 1784, the said Nathaniel Land was the son of Dr. Charles Land and his wife Mary Ann Porter, married 1760. Dr. Charles Land was a son of William Land and his wife Elizabeth Lewis, married 1735." It continues: "Dr. Charles Land was assistant Surgeon in the Second Virginia Regiment and served under Co. Alexander Spottswood in the Revolutionary War. Dr. Charles Land's children were Lewis, Carter, John, Louisa, Nathaniel, the First. The children of Nathaniel, the First, were Curtis, Robert W., John Webb, and Nathaniel, the Second, and Vienna and Sally. Nathaniel Land of Hicksford on Meherrin River was a son of a brother of Nathaniel Land, the First, hence a first cousin of Nathaniel Land, the Second. W. R. Land, brother of E. C. Land, son of John Webb Land, married Helen Land, his cousin, who was a daughter of Nathaniel Land and his wife, Maria Pendleton Woodlief. The above taken from the records in Sussex County, Virgiia and Congressional Records, Washington, D.C. W. R. Land, Greensboro, N.C." & #2 "Dr. Charles Land, born 1740, died 1780. Married Mary Ann Carter from the Isle of Wight, born 1743. Dr. Land, surgeons mate, 3d Va. Reg. served under Dr. David Griffith, Lt. Col./William Heath in command of 3rd 7th Reg. Resigned 1778 due to poor health. Seven children: 1. Nathaniel, born 1761 2. John, Born 1770 3. Carter, born 1774 4. Lewis, born 1776 5. William, born 1780 6. Louisa 7. Sarah Virginia 1. Nathaniel Land, born 1761, died 1804 Feb 8, 1787 married Rebecca Hart, born 1767, died 1822...." I do not know who typed them up...they were typed in different type and clearly done at different times. Do you have any ideas as to what I can do to figure this mystery out?

I don't believe your Rebecca Hart has anything to do with mine. My Rebecca Kelly married Samuel Hart, and thus her name would be Rebecca Hart, but she was born about 1800, and they married in Ireland before moving to Canada. I know she was alive for the Canadian 1835 census at least. So I don't think there is any relation here. Too bad......... Karen Hart Anthony Falmouth, Maine ----- Original Message ----- From: "A.
