Hi, List :Looking for informaiton on Voltay H. James born in Ware County GA. to Mitchell and Bessie Jane Jones James. Oldest son. Moved to Bainbridge GA with family around 1900 to 1905 or so. Voltay was married four times being Callie Stanton, Ruth Thompson and last one to Lorene McLendon James (d 2005 at 95 years of age). Had three children as we known.. Any information would help. Thank you for your time. Kathleen born 1916 Marggarent born 1918 Robert E. 1925 R.E. James

With some new volumes of history and documenting in Fauquier County, I have made a few surprising and helpful discoveries. One must search the parent county of Prince William of which the county of Fauquier was formed in 1759. The county of Fauquier has not changed its shape or boundaries since that time. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Conclusions: It seems that the bulk of the 1st settlers there came in the second half of the 18th century. It was an area at the time which was also under the Proprietorship for the Northern Neck, in Stafford and Richmond counties. Richmond area along the Pappahannock was merged into the area of King George county in 1721. Settlement in Fauquier actually started along the south and east into the southern part of the county along the Rappahannock and its tributaries and later, along the Occoquan with most of the lands having been granted by the Proprietors via their agents by 1750.........one of those patents was the Manor of Leeds which gave the owner, Thomas Lord FARFAX (one of the last Proprietors) direct title to over 120,000 acres..........most of these were in the foothills of the Blue Ridge in northwest Fauquier.. Leases-for=lives given out by Lord Fairfax are said to have began in his Manor in 1753. the end results of the area was the Courthouse village now WARRENTON and by the time the Revolutionary War ended the area extended over the Blue Ridge into the Shenandoah Valley and beyond. This county is a vast delight of records! No burned out courthouses or mass destruction of recordings! While you can't expect to find "exact dates of births, etc" you can find very good and solid records of what I call "life,living,activity"........if you think you might have touched the areas, go here for records and also after that, to Prince William and Prince George. Think about it! __________________ Linda M. Thank lthank@turboisp.com __________________

Quoted; is printed from the internet download from genealogy.com.........so, the printer of the book or the reprint or whoever/whatever did a boo-boo! I guess if you look at this: the wife married second to John SNELL in given 3rd April, 1578 that this Edward GILMAN died before 1578 so maybe they goofed and the DEATH of Edward GILMAN of Caston, England would be more accurate than the birth given considering a person can't be born after they marry the 1st time!

Susanna Bealert (1745 - 1849) was married to our Daniel James (1750 - 1817). I recently exchanged d-mail with William Johnson who is descended from this Baelert line. The following exchange is copied here for James researchers. You are encouraged to write directly to him if you have other information and/or questions. I hope you will share any additional info with the list. Gene James genejames@myway.com From William Johnson mufmoe@msn.com Johan Jacob Behlerdt age 24, and wife Maria Dorothea, age 19, arrived in Philadelphia aboard the ship Samuel, 11 August 1732. I do not know her maiden name. He was a ropemaker, and the ship traveled the usual route from Rotterdam, to England, to Philadelphia. They lived their entire lives in the Philadelphia and Montgomery County areas. They lived and died in Lower Merion Township, in Montgomery County. They had 5 children, to wit: Mary, b. @1733, married to Rudolph Latch on 5 March 1755, and died 1813 ---Jacob Jr., b. @1735, married to Lydia Edwards, Feb. 1762, d. 1795' David, (my ancestor), b. @1742, m. 1 August 1767 to Anna Maria Voltz. They were divorced in 1795. I have nothing further on either of them.-----Susanna, bap. 31 August 1745 at the St. Michael & Zion Lutheran Church in Philadelphia, married 18 June 1772 to Daniel James; moved to Virginia -----Elizabeth, b. @1747, married to Benjamin White, of Horsham, Pa. ---Old Jacob left a will in 1770, which was proved in Jan. 1776, in which he names all his children. Old Jacob, his wife, and son Jacob Jr. are buried in the Friends Meeting House graveyard (Quaker) in Lower Merion Township in Montgomery County. David's son David, b. 1772; married to Catherine Davis in 1800 in the Old Swede's Church in Philadelphia, moved to Lexington, Kentucky @1803, was a ropemaker, and died in the 1820's. He is my direct ancestor. I was born in 1931 in Lexington but am now living near Louisville. ----------- Hello again: ---Yes, you may give my e-mail address to anyone who might be interested in the Bealert family. I think you will enjoy this little tidbit: Baptismal and Birth Records of the St. Michael's and Zion Lutheran Church of Philadelphia- August 31, 1745: Susanna, tochter des Johan Jacob Behlert, und Maria Dorothea, seine frau" among other Bealerts. Official records (Montgomery Co., Pa. Deed Book 25, pp 465, 466, concerning a release of land give the name DANIEL James as the husband of Susanna James. ---------------- Good to hear from you. I'm glad I could be of some help to you. The two problems I have with Jacob & Dorothy are: Where in Germany did they originate, and Dorothy's maiden name. If anyone has these two answers, I will be forever grateful to them. Many of the Bealerts left Pa. for points further west, including Kentucky.

Anyone interested in this area may want to try to contact this man who has a huge database of MENDENHALL history and Quaker genealogy. Terry Mendenhall........he is a very good fellow and a retired veteran. terry-mendenahll@sbcglobal.net otherwise, I might be able to fill in some from his past notes of correspondence about Thomas JAMES of VA. from Overwharton, Stafford Co., VA. b 1675 and died after June 6, 1702 same place.

Milt is the one who has the 12 marker match with the Joseph Rogers James group. We are going to be really, really disappointed if he does not continue that match. You just never know what to expect in the 25 marker test even after a good 12 marker match. So we will just have to wait and see. Looks like all of the April tests are already here and the next test that is due back is the one for Larry Timbre James that is due on May 5. Take a look at his line on the website. His James James was very early in Chester Co, PA and I know that we would all love to be match for his line. 24887 DeepSNP-R1b DSNP-R1b David Mitchell James 147 05/22/2006 24887 Y-Refine37to59 Y-DNA37-59 Markers David Mitchell James 145 05/08/2006 25727 Y-Refine37to59 Y-DNA37-59 Markers Doyle Roland James 145 05/08/2006 44611 Y-Refine37to59 Y-DNA37-59 Markers Thomas Malcolm James 145 05/08/2006 54564 Y-Refine12to37 Y-DNA13-25 Markers Milton Everett James 147 05/24/2006 54564 Y-Refine12to37 Y-DNA26-37 Markers Milton Everett James 147 05/24/2006 55584 Y-DNA25 Y-DNA13-25 Markers Rebecca James 146 05/26/2006 55584 Y-DNA25 Y-DNA1-12 Markers Rebecca James 146 05/12/2006 57434 Y-DNA37 Y-DNA13-25 Markers Larry Timbre James 145 05/19/2006 57434 Y-DNA37 Y-DNA26-37 Markers Larry Timbre James 145 05/19/2006 57434 Y-DNA37 Y-DNA1-12 Markers Larry Timbre James 145 05/05/2006 Gwen Boyer Bjorkman gwenbj@seanet.com -----Original Message----- From: info@familytreedna.com [mailto:info@familytreedna.com] Sent: Wednesday, April 05, 2006 3:22 PM To: jamesdm49@aol.com; gwenbj@seanet.com Subject: New DNA Test Results Posted for a Group Member in Group James New Y-DNA13-25 results have been posted for Kit 55245, a member of your James group.
